know of no conclusion more appropriate
than an extract from a speech made by HIM
at the dedication OF Getty sburg Cemetery, on
the 18th of November, 1868. HIS melnora-
bic words on that occasion are peculiarly ap-
plicable now. The formal ADDRESS having
oeen delivered by Hon. Edward Everett, Mr.
Lincoln was then introduced. He concluded
his speech with these words:
"rour score and seven years ago our fathers
brought forth upon this continent a new ma
| ton, conceived III liberty, and dedicated TO
the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now We are engaged III a great civil war,
testing whether Jnat nation, OF any nation So
conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
We are met on great battle held OF that
war. We have come to dedicate portion OF

sense we cannot dedicate, we cannot colse-
crate, we cannot hallow this ground. The
brave men, living and dead, VINO struggled
here, have consecrated it far above our pow.
er to add or detract. The world will little
note nor long remember what we say here
but it can never forget what they did here
1t is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here, have thus far so nobly advanced.
1t is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us, that from
these honored dead we take increased devO-
ton to that cause for which they gave the
last full measure of devotion; that we here
highly resolve that these dead shall not have
died III vain; that this nation under God,
shall have new birth of freedom, and that
government OF the people, by the people,
and for the people, shall not perish from the
earth"
Such, Mr.. President, ladies and gentle
men, were the words OF him who here and now
claims part of these ceremonies, and for
whom we weave to-day the brightest chaplet
| of flowers.

great nations dictated by the hero of some of
the most brilliant battles OF the 18th century,

FRENCH INDIFFERENCE TO RELIG1oN-I
notice that Frenchmen are decidedly anti
clerical. Rarely is a pious man encountered
here, although one often finds men who re-
spect religious forms and comply Herewith
When this is the case it is generally owing to
female or family influence. l am satisfied
that the church in France has no doctrinal
hold on the mass of the men. We're it not for
the ceremonies of baptism, of marriage and of
funerals, wholly subject to the will of women,
the church system would vanish. If French
men wish to get rid of the church either in the
family or in connection with the state, they
must contrive some way to satisfy the senti-
ment of women in these directions. l push
my observations on this point a little farther.
This anti-clerical of anti-religious sentiment
prevails among the peasantry, which is rather
curious, as the French peasant is supposed to
be ignorant, superstitious and easily led by
the priest. He may be ignorant and super
stitious, but he has been educated and trained
out of reliance upon the priest through a pc
euliarity of another kind. The press has had
nothing to do with it, nor has any system of
Instruction; it has come about through the
passion for owning land.-Paris Co,vespo,l-
lsnce Neav York Post.

Col Sanford has brought from his stud
farm, in Kentucky, number of bright two
year Odds, four of which he has shipped by
the steamer Idaho for England. The young
sters are three bays and chestnut; Cataract,
| bay colt, by Glenelg, dam Niagara, by Lex
ington; Dancing Master, bay colt, by Glenelg,
dam La Polka, by Lexington; chestnut hlly,
by haywood, dam Earring, by Ringgold; and
bay FLY by Glenelg, dam Ulrica, by Lex
ington. They are as beautiful specimens of
the thoroughbred as were ever foaled; and for
size, bone, bottom, substance, and finish can
hardly be matched. They are, perhaps, the
largest two-year olds of pure breed ever seen
in New York. Cataract is a rouser, 1875
hands high, long in proportion, large boned,
muscular and heavy. He weighs 1000
pounds. Dancing Master weighs 935 pounds,
is 154 hands high, strong and promising. The
Haywood flly, the largest and heaviest of the
four, stands i53 hands in her stocking feet,
weighs $50 pounds, is immense in hip and
stihe, and is longer than Cataract. The
Ulrica FLY is a beauty, Is hands high, and
weighs 995 pounds. They were all foaled
and raised on the celebrated North Elkhorn
stud farm, and will give English horsemen
something like a fair conception of the posi-
bilities of stock breeding under Kentucky
sky and on Kentucky soil Two of the colts,
Dancing Master and Cataract, have been en-
tered for the EPSON Derby, Doncaster, st.
Leger, and Grand Prix de Paris, for 1873;
and the fillies are in the Epson Oaks for that
year Mr. Sanford also brought from Ken

fled with the President yesterday the
testimony taken in Northeastern Georgia
by a commissioner appointed by the
governor, under instructions of the legis-
~lature, to investigate the misconduct OF
the United States marsha aud internal

that private property was destroyed, H.

their homes, marched hundreds Of miles
on foot, and after paying fees to q law
yer who seems to have been suggested by
the government officers for this purpose,
were discharged without ever having had

hearing of their cases. Women we're in

augurated all through this part of the
State. The President promised to ex.
anime into the matter, and to act
promptly. General Gordon says this
state Of things was nn~deniahle, ard its
continuance would have resulted in
bloodshed. There have been about ZOO
discharges, but others are still in custo.
dy. 1t is thought that the President will
remove the officials implicated in the
diagraceful proceedings.
REDUCTION Of The ARMY.
The President has decided to discharge
the 2000 additional men provided for the
army by the act OF August Is, 1876.
This addition to the army was procured
fer political purposes,b by fraudulent rep
r%esentationi but the reason Of e%urtail-
ment is found in the trouble about the
army appropriation bill The discharge
is TO take place on the first Of June,
Each soldier will receive in all about
$500. This will be paid out Of the cur
rent appropriation. The order now be
lug prepared for this reduction does not
affect the cavalry. The infaHtry rsgi
ments will consist Of ten comBani ),
~sggregating 3T5 men, and the artillery
companies, numbering in all 49s
men. The statement published TO the
effect that a project OF disbaudiug the
army altogether was discussed ir the

LOSS OF THE DAKOTA.
Passengers, Grew and Baggage Saved

LONDON, May 1.-THE passengers and
crew Of the stranded steamer Dakota
reached Liverpool at midnight. The
Dakota got ten miles out Of her course,
either through thickness Of the weather
or some miscalculation. She was in
charge of the captain, but had a pilot on
board co operating. The errer Of posi-
ton had been discovered before the YES
sci struck and land was distinctly sight
ed, when the engines we're reversed and
the vessel simply glided in upon a
smooth rock, where she lay, with her
bow considerably elevated. The sea
was tolersbly calm at the time, so there
was very little commotion on board.
The passengers, baggage and kits Of the
crew we're mostly saved. The captain
and some Of the officers remain by the
ship, but as the water covers a portion Of
the after part the hope Of saving the yes.
sci and cargo IS not great.
As soon as the Dakota struck distress
rockets were fred, and The coast guard
promptly responded, throwing a line to
the vessel. Presently a boat was
launched from the ship; then shrieks OF
women and children we're heard. The
passengers we're handed down one by
one from the bow Of the steamer to the
boat, Coming toward the shore, the
current setting around the projecting
~headland was found to be very strong;
the boat borne abreast Of a huge billow
and dashed violently against the rocks.
The screams Of the women as the boat
struck was awful to hear. All supposed
toe boats party vas lost, but the little
craft driited back froM the shore a few
moments until it was finally flung high
and dry from the crest OF a wave on top
Of q high, broad and solitary cliff.
Ia the meantime the breeches buoy had
been attached to q line aud sent to the

placed in the buoy and safely hauled

steamer after the breeches buoy bad

daylight the mist which had enyeloped

large steamship was observed close at
hand. Rockets we're at once set on rom
