smokes cigars, tuggles balls, swings back and
equally remarkable feats. Remember, always

the State appears to be awakening to the
folly of its past course in this matter and
it is proposed to treat this business, as from
its peculiar character, it should be treated,

OF these days that license is better for them
than prohibition. Their compeers got that
lesson by heart in Maine, Vermont, Iowa
and Kansas. IN these States the saloon
men would gladly compromise on the
$1,000 license Of Nebraska. The Ohio dis.

should aid the State in establishing a
proper license system instead OF blindly re-

ONE OF THOSE saddest results of the
fallible administration of justice by our
courts comes to us from Michigan. twenty
nine years ago Samuel Ulum was convicted
Of the murder of man namel Eastbreok
and sentenced to confinement for life. 1t is
now ascertained that he is entirely inno-
cent of all connection with the murder,
and the Governor has pardoned him. But
what can the State of Michigan Go to re-
turn to this man the years of liberty she
deprived him of? What she can do she
should do; but exert herself as she may,
how miserably little and unsatisfactory is
the best she can do for her victim.

IN HIS recent lecture on Pope's Virginia

men under his command, In Washi-

Fremont from Missouri, and Cox from the
Kanawha Valley to the extent OF 10000 more,
making total for the armies during the cam.
paign of $50, 900 men. During the same period
Lee had $1,000 men. At the battle OF second
Manassas he had present 10000 men. The
rest had been lost In the previous part of the
campaign, or were below Richmond, covering
that city. Therefore, Lee, with his $4,000 men,
the available remains OF his $4,000, by Sep
tember 4, 1862, had driven In and cooped up
in the intrenchments of Washington the avail

the Federal commanders, Mcclellan and Pope,

that Thompson has majority of the Ohio

A Carrncliie Nuancry In Canada.

A Montreal letter gives publicity to
some interesting facts in relation to a
Carnelite nunnery at Hochelega, near
that city. It has been in existence
several years, but no one has ever heard
much OF il. These nuns are subjected
to the severest discipline OF all Il Q
orders. They wear but one garment
Summer and Wluter--a coarse serge
gown reaching 90 the feet, with hood
almost completely covering the face.
Their feet are shod with sandals. and
they are not permitted to wear hosiery.
As special favor, they have been al
lowed, in our severe Winters, to wrap
pieces OF serge around their feet and
ankles. They never touch meat, poul-
try. fish, butter or eggs, aud eat only
one meal a day OF bread ani boiled veg
etables. Their couches are bare psanks,
with a square block OF wood for pill
low, and they sleep without other COW
ering than their daily dress. Their
doors are jealously closed, even to
women. the e-priost OF the doctor. They
pass their lives in silence. even their
prayers being said under their breath.
Their singing OF the church service Is
conducted in a whispered monotone.
Such acceptance Of the VOWS OF pow
erty, chastity anil obedience has proved
the regimen too severe for the constitu-
tion Of the ladies, aud several OF them
have died. Others are at the point OF
death, yet the Lady Superior aud the
nuns themselves steadily refuse to
make any change in their method OF
living, declaring that all is in Gods
hands.
