Remains of the Apostles.

Catholic authorities state that the remains
of the Apostles of Christ are now in the fol-
lowing places: Seven are in Rome; namely,
Peter, Philip, James the Lesser, Jude, Bar
tholomew, Matthias, and Simon. There are
in the kingdom of Naples, Matthew at Sa-
lerno, Andrew at Amalfi, and Thomas at
Ortona. One is in Spain, James the Greater,
whose remains are at St. Jago de Compostel-
10. OF the body of St. John the Evangelist,
the remaining one of the twelve, there is no
knowledge. The Evangelists Mark and
Luke are also in ltaly-the former at Venice
and the latter at Padua. St. Paul's remains
are also supposed to be in Italy. Peters are
of course in the church at Rome which is
called after him, as are also those of Simon
and Jude. Those of James the Lesser and
of Philip are in the church of the Holy
Apostles, Bartholowew's in the church on
the island in the Tiber called after him, while
Matthias are in the Santa Maria Maggiore,
under the great altar of the renowned ba-
silica.

Tobacco.

Tobacco, now in almost universal use, and
enjoyed in one form or another by all races
and in all countries, met with the greatest
opposition when it had been introduced into
the Old World from the New, soon after Col
umbus' discovery of America. AT first rec
commended for its medicinal virtues, which
were greatly exaggerated, tobacco soon be-
came an article OF luxury. Several POpes,
Uurban XII and Innocent ri among them,
launched against it the thunder of the Roman
Church; the priests and Sultans of Turkey
denounced smoking as a crime, Amuret Nv
even going so far as to decree its punishment
by the most frightful forms of death. Later,
in that country, the pipes of smokers were
thrust through their noses. All this con-
demnation, all these penalties, were vain.
The use of tobacco steadily increased and
has increased ever since 1t is now the solace
of rich and poor, of princes and peasants, of
scholars and ssvages. Albeit not prevalent
in the East until the seventeenth century, the
Turks and Persians exceed ali other nations
in smoking. In India, all classes and both
sexes smoke. In China, the practice is uni
versal; girls from the age of eight or nine,
wearing as appendage to their dress silken
pocket to hold tobacco and pipe. Snuff
taking is diminished, and chewing does not
spread materially; the smoking grows con-
tinually. Our aboriginals are believed to
have been the earliest consumers of the plant.
They have used it from time immemorial,
smoking having been, and still being, asso-
ciated with religion. 1t is connected with
all important transactions, as well as with
worship. The calumet, or pipe of peace, is
deemed indispensable to the ratification of
treaty; smoking together has even greater
with them than eating together
with civilized nations, and it is believed to &C.
ment friendship. They imagine that the
Great Spirit perceives sweet SAVIOR in the
smoke of the sacred plant as it ascends to
heaven, and that it is particularly acceptable
to the devine senses. 1t is remarkable that.
though tobacco was first used in the New
World, its use is probably less general here
now than in any other country. The citizens
of the republic chew more, unhappy, than
almost any nation, but they smoke far less
than Spaniards, Portuguese, Dutch. Ger
mans, Russians, French, Italians, or even the
English. Perhaps one reason why tobacco is
so relished everywhere is that so much and
so persistent effort has been made to extir-
pate the habit. What is unJustly and violent
" opposed is pretty apt to extend and in time
lake deep root. ..t. . s.t.t .7.

ALONE e.

She stands beside the cottage door
To watch the dying day;
Her raven hair is sprinkled DER
With flakes of silvery gray;
And many line of sadness scars
That pale, yet lovely face.
To mark where slow and silent tears
Have left their lasting trace.
And still her whispered thoughts will tell
Of &C enes that are no more,
And scan the once-loved forms that dwelt
On Mem'ry's shadowy shore;
Again the little cot to deck
That now so empty stands;
Again to feel around her
The touch of tiny hands.
How long, the weary spirit cries,
Within this world of pain,
Ere meath the never-fa ling skies
l meet them once again?
And as she views the silver night,
Slow sweeping to the west,
A murmured prayer in faith takes flight
To Him who giveth rest.

For the Flood Mansion.

The Santa Clara Valley Mill and Lumber
Company are now engaged in preparing the
wood work for the finish of James Z. Floods
mansion at Menlo Park This company Sc
cured the contract tor the outside and inside
furnishing, and all this work is being done
in San Jose. This has never been done in
this State-work of the same beauty and fin
ish, nor of the same quality. In the spring
MIR. Blaine, the foreman, went East and Sc
cured the wood to be used, the greater por-
ton of which cost at least one dollar per
foot. 1t consists principally of rosewood,
mahogany, bird dseye-maple, satin, white hol-
ly and oak. These woods are cut and pol
ished at the mill, engaged in which task alone
there are over seyenty-five men, embracing
the best wood artisans on the coast. All the
woods are highly polished, some so beautiful
and bright that they act in the capacity of
mirror. AS an evidence of the elegance of
the work, q few of the parts of the residence
to be finished are given and the manner and
style in which the work is to be done. The
main floor and stalr-cases are to be finished
In bright mahogany, the reception anu draw
lng-rooms in polished satin wood, the library
in black and gold cherry, the music room in
rosewood, the dining room and billiard-room
in polished black walnut, chambers and
boudoir in bird 'seye maple, the rear of the
second story in Prima Veara wood, and
blinds of white holly. There never came in
to this State before such elegant and costly
varieties of woods. All parts of the world
have furnished their contributions. The
work has to be done slowly and carefully,
entirely completed in the mill 80 as to be put
up in place as soon as received at the build
ing. 1t will be five or six months before all
the work is completed. Jose Mercury,

And knew the bliss he necr had known before
He scarce had entered in the gardens fair
Another HindOo asked admission there.
The sef-same question Brahma asked again:

Wealth Oi the Empress Eugenie.

A Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times writes:
The ex-Empress of France is said to be
one of the richest widows in England. In
addition to her Hungarian estate she has q
castle in Spain and nice place in Swi,zer-
land. But hard cash is what comes most USE
full to dethroned sovereigns who hope to re-
turn, and of this the Empress has long had
abundance. 1t is estimated in Paris that she
is worth at least million sterling. Only re-
Gently she sold large block of house property
in the Rue d'Alba, in Paris, and N. Rouher's
house, q well.known political center at the
corner of the Rue de lElysee, was hers, in
her own right, and was sold last year Tor
f15,OO0. The death of the Prince adds to
her property, since he left her considerable
amount of landed property in Italy, as well
as the Toulouse property, bequeathed to him
by the grisly General who had been equerry
to the Prince when he toddled about the cor
ridors of the Tuileries nearly three feet high,
and weighted with the miniature uniform of
q Colonel in the Cente Garde. This vast
property was no incumbrance to the Empress
while she had son to live and scheme for.
1t was drained pretty freely by the Bonapart-
ist organs of the press in France. The Ordre
and the Pays were lavishly supported by the
Empress, and she also drew handsome checks
in favor of the reduction of the Gaulois. The
need for keeping these fires warm is now
dead. The Empress is not likely to keep
newspapers alive to work for her good cousin
Jerome; she will not, however. find her
riches an embarrassment as long as the priests
have ready access TO her. A newspaper sup.
plies large outlets for superfuous cash, but l
think on the whole the church can hold its
own in rivalry of this character, and good
like the Empress will not find
occasion to distress herself for means OF dis
posing of the interest," and eventually the
capital, Of million sterling '.i

/. The Colorado papers are demanding the
removal of Agent Stanley of the Uncom-

fool and liar" and say that the interests of
the State require the appointment of an agent
of fitness for the position, and who will not
grossly calumniate their people.

The Vexed Question.

Under this heading the Nash
Vile Banner remarks: Suppose
tie bondholders reject the prop
osition pnt to them by the Leg
islature, as so many seem to
think they will, what can they
gain by ii? The opinion Of o.
Conner is the only possible rea-
son for this mad action. They
claim by that opinion that they
have a first mortgage lien on
the railroads. We do not be-
lieve they have, and therefore
differ from Mr.. O'Connor. This
is modest, but nevertheless we
stick to it. Then, in order TO
reap benefits of this mortgage
they must prosecute long te-
dious doubtful suit. We have
noticed that somebody always
loves lawsuits. For the sake
of argument, suppose the bond
holders gain it. They must
then sell the roads, and as a
matter of course will be COM
PEELED to buy them. All the
railroads in the State, in 1877,
were assessed at about $13,750,-
900. The necessary expenses
Of suit will reduce their value
to some extent, and the depre-
citation Of property since 1877
will reduce it some more. 1t
will be a safe calculation TO say
they will not bring more than
$12,000,000. Then where will
the gain rest? The present Of
fer will give them 81, 10000,
more than they can possibly
gain even with Il successful suit,
which we affirm will not be the
case.

mules, implements and all the
crop above the landlords lien.
OF course the negro comes out
heavily in debt to the money len
der. Everything is then sold
and the money lender buys all
the negro has at much below its
real value. Now the negro has
nothing, and is deeply in debt.
He is henceforth in the power
Of bis merciless creditor till lie
works that debt out. OF course
under such instances emancipa-
tom is u huge disappointment to
the negro. He is in a worse con-
dition than he was in slavery.
The white money lender gets all
the fruit of his labor and is under
no obligation to feed and care
for him and his wife and children.
The ultimate effect of all of
this will be disastrous to the
South. 1t is short-sighted and
absurd policy, to say nothing Of
its glazing dishonesty. 1t is
killing the ''goose TO get the gol-
den egg" 1t is already having
the effect to drive the negro out
Of the South. When the negro
leaves the South the South will
be ruined. White immigration
will not go into the South, and
the white men in the South will
not labor on the plantations.
When the negro leaves the South
ali that sunny and fertile land
will grow up in briers and thorns
and go to waste. The remedy
must be discovered and applied
at once to avert the menacing
disaster. The remedy is very
simple-eyen-handed justice to
the negro as a laborer. This will
hold him in the South. Moth
ing else will.

Misdemeanors.
How the Legislature Revolution
lied Criminal Proceedings

Among the acts passed toward
the close Of the recent session
Of the Legislature was the fol-
lowing:
An Act TO give Justices of
the Peace original jurisdiction
over all misdemeanors and to
regulate appeals in misdemean-
ors from Justices Of the Peace.
Section /. Be it enacted by
the General Assembly Of the
State of Tennessee, that hereaf-
ter al! criminal offences known
as misdemeanors, or the penal
ty is a fine of not more than fifty
dollars, shall be tried in the first
instance by the Justices of the
Peace, and the same fines Shall
be ordered and enforced by said
Justices as are now ordered and
enforced by the various courts
ofrccord OF this State for these
offences.
Sec. 2. BE it further enacted,
when an appeal is prayed from
the finding of the Justices of
the Peace, the defendant shall
give bond and security for his
appearance at the next term of
The Circuit or Criminal Courts
whore an appeal is taken.
Sec. ). Be it further enacted,
that section 1891, 1895, 1896,
1897, 1893, 1899, 5000, 5COl
and 52lS Of Thomson e Steger'e
edition of the Code be and are
hereby repealed.
Sec. 4. Be it further enacted,
that where defendant accepts the
judgment Of the court he shall
be allowed to give good and
sufficient security for the fine,
all costs to be due and payable
in thirty days after the date OF
trial.
Sec. 5. BE it further enacted
that if the defendant fails to pay
all the fines and costs at the ex-
piraiion of thirty days, the JUS
lice Of the Peace shall issue eX-
ecution for the same.
Sec. g.. Be it further enacted,
that this act take effect from
and after its passage, the public
welfare requiring it.
Passed March IL, 1879. APP
proved March 26.
A law with substantially The
same provisions has heretofore
received the condemnation of
the Supreme Court by being de-
clared unconstitutional and a
similar act was vetoed by Gov.
POI ter.
Showing how the new law
will work, the Lebanon Herald
says:
can examination OF the tech
meal meaning OF the term mis-
demeanor' will show the extent
and radical nature Of the change
effected by this law. Misde-
meanors, according to the Code
(5224 AZ, include 'all violations
of law punished by fine or i'm
prisonment in the county jail OF
both'-that is to say, all crimes
except those punishable by
death or imprisonment in the
penitentiary. By the new law
such serious offences as carrying
concealed weapons, disturbing
public worship, tipping, selling
liquors on Sunday, gaming and
lewdness are removed from the
jurisdiction Of the court and
given over to the magistrates.
The fact that before the latter
tribunals a prosecutor is neces-
sary renders the law nugatory
and the infection Of penalties
impraclicable. The inevitable
result will be to practically a
bolish grand juries and to Ii
cense evil-doing. This may be
illustrated by the fact that, at
the recent session OF the Circuit
Court ut Shelbyville, the grand
jury was in session just three
hours"
