The Hottest Spot ON Earth,

One of the hottest regions on the
earth is along the Persian Gulf,
where little or no rain falls. At
Bahrin the arid shore has no fresh
water, yet comparatively numerous
population centrive to live there,
thanks to the copieus springs which
burst forth from the bottem of the
sea. The fresh water is got by div
ing. The diver, sitting in his boat,
winds great goat skin bag around
his left arm, the hand grasping his
mouth; then he takes in his right
hand heavy stone. to which is at
tached a strong line. and thus equip.
ped he plunges in and quickly reach
es bottom. Instantly opening the
bag over the strong jet of fresh wa
ter, he springs uplthe ascending cur
rent, at the same time closing the
bag. and is helped aboard. The
stone is then hauled up, and the di-
yer. after taking breath, plunges in
again. The source of these copious
submarine springs is thought to be
in the green hills of Osman, some
five or six hundred miles distant.

English Catholics and the War.

Cardinal Manning and DR.. New
man have been asked by good Cath
olics whether persons whose con-
science might dictate that England
was entering upon an unjustihabie
war would be bound, even at the risk
of death for refusal, to take up arms.
The Cardinal, through his secretary,
says: sin replying, it is hardly ne
cessary to say that no one weuld be
iustifable in going forth to slsy 9TH
ers, merely to give expression to the
vindictive feelings Of diplcmatists.
But this is not likely to be on the
part of our government the object of
any war with Russia into which Eng.
land may possibly be drawn" DR..
Newman has sent the following re-
ply: "S0ldiers have engaged in a
profession, and promised loyalty to
the Queen. They cannot leave it
suddenly at their own will. If, in
deed, they were called upon, by vir-
tue of their profession, to sin, Of
course they must not obey, they
must be put to death rather than
obey, but they must be certain that
it is sin before they can religiously
refuse. They have no duty, on lib
erty to refuse to serve in a war
against Russia, unless they are per-
fectly sure that the war is unjust.
Till then their duty to the Queen is
in force and it remains SO, though
they may fear, they may believe,
though they may have strong ground
for thinking that the war is unjust.
They cannot release themselves from
their duty on doubt or an opinion.
And much as I, for one. disapRrevs
the war and deplore it, certainly /
aun not sure that there are not just
grounds for resisting the measures
at present carried out by the Rus.
SLAMS. 1t is not out and cut clear
case that the Russians are altogether
right and we altogether wrong"

Oh, BE NOT THE FIRST.

Oh be not the first to discover
A blot on the fame of friend,
A flaw in the faith of a lover,
Whose heart may prove true to the end.
We none Of us know one another,
And Oft into error we faI;
Then let us speak well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at ALL
A smile or a sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue;
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true.
How oft the light smile of gladness
Is worn by the friends that we meet
To cover a soul full of gladness,
Too proud to acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh of detection
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull suspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal:
And bosoms the purest, sincerest.
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones to trace out defects
Let surs be noble ambition,
For base is the mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then let speak well of our brother,
Or speak not of him at all.

One View of 1t.

| Hsrper's Weekly says that the
conclusion of patriotism and good
sense would be that it is unwise s'te
reopen controversy which was set.
tied by the tribunal which Congress
created for the purpose, and whose
decision was accepted by Congress" !"
In answer to which it may be said /:
1. That the Electoral Commission
was an unconstitutional body which
Congress had no power to create ;
and that, consequently, although in
point of appearance and form there
was such body, yet in cOntempla-
ton OF law it never existed, as the
act creating it was imperative and
void.
2. The void acts of the electoral
commission could not be made valid
by any subsequent confirmation of
Congress any more than they could
be by previous authorization. The
power vested in Congress by the
constitution in regard to the election
of President cannSt be delegated by
any act of Congress either before or
after its attempted exercise by any
other body.
5. If the electoral commission
had been q constitutional body. the
discovery that its action had been
controlled in the decisive points by
fraud would justify and demand the
respening OF the controversy submit
ted to its decision.
4. It is never the conclusion of
patriotism that it is unwise to pre-
serve the rights and liberties Of the
people; and the rights and liberties
of them are gone the moment they
are deprived OF the choice of their
own rulers, whether that deprivation
be by force or fraud.
5. Good sense is only consistent
with common honesty; and common
honesty demands that a fraudulent
settlement be reopeaed.
It is, therefore, the dictate Of pa
triotisn and good sense that the
controversy about the election of
President should be reopened and
rightfully settled.-N. Y. San.

her stratagem was about to be crown
ed with success. The pair fingered
SO long at the top of the spire, gaz
ing upon the beauties of the land
scape and watching the stealthy ap
proach of twilight that it was rather
late when they started to descend
They reached the foot of the stairs
and the young man rejoiced at bis
near release. Suddenly Miss War
re in faltering voice announced
that she had lost the key. She must
have dropped it out of the topmost
window of the spire, SO she said,
while the young man was talking 80
beautifully abeut the evening star.
Of course, she was in despair, and
after the deer had been tried and
had been found to be proof against
any effort to break it open, she an
announced that she was ruined, and,
bursting into tears, fell on her com.
panion's breast.
That able young man jndiciously
released himself, and, seating Miss
Warren on the stairs. told her to
cheer up, and that he would soon
find a way to :release her. ssNo |!
no y she cried wildly, 'the window
is thirty feet high. and there is no
escape for US. l don't blame you,
for your are as good and kind as an
angel, but l can never face the world
as an unmarried woman after this"
But the rich young man was already
out Of hearing and half way up the
spire. Miss Warren was about to
follow, fearing that he had chosen
suicide rather than matrimony, when
he reappeared, and with a smiling
face invited her to come up higher.
Greatly elated, Miss Warren fol-
lowed TO the lowest window, when
he paused and picked up an enor.
mously long rope. This, he Inform.
ed her, was the bell-rope, aud with
it he intended to let her dowu from
the window. In vain did she protest
that she would die of fright, and that
anything would be preferable to be-
ing lowered through thirty feet Of
air. The young man was kind but
firm. He fastened the rope about
her waist, and pretended that his
apparent cruelty was only the high
est form of kindness, lifted her out
sf the window and lowered away. 1t
was still light, and her shrlel1s at
tracted a party Of young men who
happened to be within hearing, al
though the Methodist meeting house
was isolated and in lonely place.
These young men hastened to re-
ceive the descending maiden, and.
though she had perfect confidence in
the good taste with which she had
selected her hosiery, stheir presence
added to her misery. After having
thus released his companion from
her coveted imprisonment, the young
man descended the rope and escort
ed her home. She said not a word
to him, and did not even bid him
goodnight. Nevertheless, he went
home cheerful and feeling that he
had discharged his whole duty.
There can be no doubt that he is an
exceedingly sensible young man,
and that his conduct, when contrast.
ed with the mythical poor young
man, does equal credit to his head,
his heart, and the strength of his
arms.

| Special to the New York Herald.
Col. Mulligan, of Chicago. one oi
the leading officers under Gen. o..
Neil, commander of the Fenian forces
in the United States. arrived in this
city to-day fer the purpose of organ
izirg and equipping Fenian force
in this city to assist in making .
raid on Canada in the event OF a
war between England and Russia.
Col. MulIigan declares that in the
event of a raid upon Canada fully
100000 men, well drilled and armed
with Remington rifles, could be re-
lied upon to march on Canada on
thirty hours notice. He reports
that in Buffalo 1000 men are armed
and equipped and ready for immedi-
ate action, In Cleveland there are
1900 enrolled and armed and now
on duty awaiting orders. In st.
Louis and Chicago, large forces of
men are armed and drilling night
and day, awaiting the Esignal for
marching.
PLANS FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
Should war be declared between
England and Russia, the Fenians
propose to invade Canada in three
columns by way of Ogdensburg,
Treut River and Fort Erie. The
presence of Col. Mulligan in this
city aroused the Fenian organiza-
ton to a pitch of enthusiasm quite
unparalleled. Col. Mulligan pro.
posed to quietly visit the leaders of
the organization for the purpose of
ascertaining their condition and CIV
ing them information concerning the
proposed raid. His presence in Syr-
acuse became known to the masses
and fully $50 Fenians gathered
round him in short time, eager to
be enrolled in the army of patriots.
They proceeded in a body to the
Seventh ward, where they were seen
and interviewed by your correspond
ent.
The Syracuse Fenians claim that
they are ready to march on Canada
at a moments notice. To-morrew
the Fenian organization meets at the
headquarters for the transaction of
important business. They number
owe: two hundred and fifty men, all
of whom are armed with brecchload-
ers. In few days, however, they
will receive direct from Cleveland a
full stand of Remington rifles. The
organization has already been quiet
ly drilling. and the meeting to be
held tomorrow is for the purpose of
securing a suitable hall fer drilling
and transacting other important bus
mess. 1t is proposed to open a re.
cruiting Office at once.
THE MILITARY CHEST FULL OF GOLD.
The society claims to have plenty
of funds, aud have advices from st.
Louis and other Western cities,
which state they can have all the
money they want. A prominent cit
izen Of Cleveland has contributed
$25, 900 toward the purchase of arms.
Col. Mulligan left for Oswego to-
night. He proposes to visit every
large city 10 ascertain how many
men can be relied on and how many
Remington rifles are needed.
