Active Operations in Tonquin Impossible
Allowing the Question to Drag.
PARIS Oct 6.-An official dispatch from
Hong Kong dated Sept. go states that Ad-
miral Courbet has had a conference with the
French civil and military chiefs in Tonquin,
who agreed that active operations are impos-
sible at present, owing to the bad condition
of the roads. They were also of the opinion
that troops now in Tonquin could safely
await the arrival of reinforcements. Ad-
miral Courbet returned to Hourane Oukou-
ham, south of Hue.
Advices from Hanoi to the 18th state that
the submission of mandarins to the French
Civil Commissioner continues. The Black

and recent fighting, and continue to retreat
Bands which have been lowering between
Hanoi and Sontay, and around Namdinh,
have disappeared. The newspapers of Paris
say the French cabinet knowing now the
feeling of the Chinese government in relation
to the Tonquin matter does not expect sue
cess from further Parleying. The Chinese
hope for better conditions from allowing the
question to drag, and reckon on change in
the French ministry or the defeat of the
French troops in Tonquin. Events will,
however, the paper says, dissipate these Chi
nese illusions.

The Pope's Complaint.

ROME, Oct, THE Pope in an allocution
upon receiving large number of Italian pill
grims in the Basilica of st. Peters, to-day
said he rejoiced to witness the concord ex-
listing between the clergy and their focks
The conspiracy of the sects had reduced the
papacy to condition unworthy its rank
Historical researches of learned men proved
that the papacy was no enemy to Italy, but
that it had always been actuated by sover-
eign benevolence. The true civilization de-
rived from the papacy increased its vitality
and strength. The real object of the secre-
taries in depriving the Pope of temporal
power was to strike blow at the church
and rob Italy of the treasure of faith The
Pope spoke for twenty minutes. He looked
very pale, almost cadaverous. The audience
numbered 10, 1000.

Wirz of Andersonville.

TO the Editor OF the INDIANAPOLIS Journal;
In the Journal of this date, under the title
OF ''Wirz of Andersonville" copied from the
Louisville Commercial, the Rev. William
John Hamilton makes a weak attempt to de-
fend the humanity of Captain Wirz the
murderer of more than Is, 900 Union soldiers
at Andersonville. Father Hamilton is a
little premature He should not allow his
assertion thai 'Wirz vas the most humane
keeper of prison that he had ever SEEM go
into priut until the last survivor of Ander-
sonville has given up the ghost. Father
Hamilton's acquaintance with prison keep
ers must have been very limited, or else his
idea OF humanity is badly at fault. All honor
to Father Hamilton and his co-laborers
among the afflicted at Andersonville. There
was number of the Catholic clergy whose
names deserve to be written in letters of gold
in the history of their country for their
efforts to alleviate the sufferings and admin
lister to the spiritual wants of the dying prs-
oners. Their kind acts will ever be remem-
bered by those who survived the horrors of
that hell pen, but dare say that Father
Hamilton could not find a single survivor of
Andersonville prison that would testify to
the humanity of that cowardly deamon,
Captain Wirz l have seen him come into
the prison and knock down with club poor
bel pless prisoners, without the least provo
cation. He never came inside of the prison
walls without carrying revolver cooked in
his hand, and sometimes two, or a revolver
in one hand and a club in the other. He
very seldom spoke a word without
uttering a vile oath. He suffered
unlocked ratOns to be sent to the
prisoners, without fuel or any means
by which they could cook it. The prison
was surrounded on two sides by immense
pine forests Our men would have gladly
felled the trees and procured the means of
cooking their filthy rations, had Captain
Wirz allowed them to do so. Men were shot
by the prison guards under Virus orders,
for approaching or laying hands upon the

humanity contained in Wirz was placed in
the eye of mosquito, it would not interfere
in the least with the business of that insect

The Champion Thieves.


Boston Traveller.
The regiment in the Army of the Cumber-
land known as the Indiana Jayhawkers was
about as proficient as any that we had, but
the Eighth Missouri, which was commanded
by General Morgan L. Smith, certainly beat
anything ever met. They would steal any
thing, and it did not make any difference
whether they had any use for it or not.
When we were in front of Vicksburg they
actually stole grave. and it happened in
this way: The Eighth Missouri was encamped
alongside my command. One of our men
died during the night and gave orders that
a detail be sent to dig grave. The ground
was of hard clay, and it took the men some
time to complete their work They returned
to camp and we took the dead soldier to his
last resting place. When we arrived we
found the grave filled and a mound showing
that some one had evidently been there. Up
on investigation l afterward ascertained
that one of the Eighth Missouri had also
died during the night and that they had
waited until my men had finished their
work when they quietly took possession and
actually stole our grave.

A NAUGHTY SOCIETY QUEEN.
A New York Literary Circle Scandalized at
the Conduct of One of It's Leaders.

the Conduct of One of It's Leaders
New York Letter.
There has been a good deal of agitation
here in literary circles over the fact that a
certain lady, who gave popular receptions
and organized and managed conviviai club
has for years held improper relations with
Colonel Harry Van Rensselaer, who, she
claimed, was her uncle and whom she af-
fectionately called "Uncle Harry" She was
known as Mrs Fennimore, a prettier name
than the one she bore fifteen years ago, when
she worked in printing office down town.
Just how she got into literary society here
four years ago, nobody seems exactly
to know; but Uncle Harry" was well
known and much liked for his rare Gull
ture, his talent, and his bluff-heartiness, and
when she began to give receptions in her
beautiful house (where Uncle Harry" lived,
she was soon as well known and as much
liked, Nobody asked many questions. All
the best known writers in the city gathered
in her fine parlors-journalists novelists,
poets playrlghts, actors, musicians, mayors
and senators-spouted their recitations, ex-
changed their witticisms, sang their songs
and drank her wine. Mrs. Fennimore
was always delightful A brilliant vo-
man, witty and amiable. a poet, a mu-
stefan, author of a play or two, in
credibly suave, immensely clever she knew
how to charm her guests and make them
come again. | have met a host of interest
ing people there She took special delight in
gathering young girls around her. and organ
izng them into phalanx of Sweetness and
light" Many OF the most attractive bellies
of the city have been under her protection,
and are, L suppose none the worse for it.
But it is now generally understood that
Mrs. Fennimore and Uncle Harry live to-
gether in the residence he presented to her;
that Uncle Harry is not relative of
hers, but is the husband of a lady and
father of children in another part of the
city; that Uncle Harry has given to her sew
eral houses, of which she collects the rents;
and that 1t is q ed case all around. A
hundred or two ladies and gentlemen who
have accepted her hospitality during the last
five years and have enjoyed it undeniably,
are now mad as wet hen and claim that
they have been imposed on; and they impre-
cate and call Uncle Harry hard names, and
say that he might at least have been more
discreet and lived in another house So
there are sore heads all along the skirmish
line. and our literary society is silently
weeping over its sawdust doll.

Education of the Negro.

New York, Oct 16.-The annual meeting
of the trustees Of the John F. Slater fund
was held to-day, with ex-President Hayes in
the chair Rev. Dr. A. G. Haygood, general
agent of the fund.- submitted his report,
which shows that more than half of the
colored children of the Southern States, who
are of proper age to attend school, are not
enrolled, and that great majority of the
colored teachers are ignorant and unskillful.
1t also suggests a practical plan for the
education of the colored people of the South.
The reports of the finance committee and
Treasurer Morris K. Jessup were received
and referred to the auditing committee. 1t
appears that the income of the fund for the
current year is about 500 600, from which an
Appropriation of $4,000 has already been
