UNFORTUNATE MIR. JONAS.

The New Consul to Prague Called to the
Capital to Clear His Record.
Washington Special
Charles Jonas, of Racine, Wis, who was re-
Gently appointed Consul al Prague, in Austro
Hungary came here to-day at the request of Mr..
BayaId to have conference with the Secretary
Of State in regard to the opposition of the Austro
Hungarian government to Mr.. Jonas's appoint
ment Mr. Bayard is at the bedside Of his wife
wIo is near death. Mr.. Jonas is prepared to
withdraw from the Prague consulship if it is
thought best to accede to the wishes of the
Austro Hungarian government
His otfense was the writing pamphlet twenty
five years ago, when he was student nineteen
years old, in Prague University, criticising the
military laws of the Empire. The police broke
into the printing shop where the second form of
the brochure was on the press and confiscated
all that had been printed, the type aud the re.
naming copy of the article. Mr.. Jonas was
sent to mis- home and ordered to stay there for q
year In the expectation Of being prosecuted
for years he decided to 60 to England where he
remained two years and then came to America
In 1871 he went to Europe and through Mr.
Bancroft the minister then, was able to receive
full assurance that his offenses had been con-
doned and he would be treated as an American
subject. He visited Vienna, saw the Minister of
SCate ana OF N&r, anu from DOtH received nOSC
cordial treatment. The opposition at this time
from the Austro Hungarian government is
accountable. The impression is strong here that
our government will refuse to allow Mr.. Jonas
to withdraw. His appointment was made with
out solicitation the part of Mr. Jonas and his
only desire to go to Prague Is that it is his old

editor of the most Influential Bohemian paper in

taken to throw out all of the United States com
pound-interest notes which may hereafter b,
presented for redemption. In a recent case the
Treasurer paid one of these notes and
mutually turned it in to be DESTROYED.
Chenowith, when it came before
him, looked up the law and found that the act
authorizing the issuance of these notes was ap-
proved June %, 1864. The note bore the date of
July ,, 1864. This was accounted for by the
fact that the record of June % was extended
into three parts and that the regular morning
record of July contained a portion Of the de-
bate and proceedings which had taken place
three days previously The Chief Of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing did not notice this
until some months afterward and quite mum.
Der of the notes had got into circulation before
the typographical error, if it may be so called,
had been discovered. This error made no diff
ference whatever but the First Auditor, in
order that he may appear before the country in
some other role beside that of vioator,
has undertaken to show that these notes should
not be paid.

The Earthquake in Cashmere.

Calcutta Dispatch to London Times.
The latest returns regarding the damage occa-
stoned by the earthquake at Cashmere on May
49, state the loss of life at 3,O81 persons besides
25, 900 sheep and goats and 5000 cattle. The
number of dwellings ruined is computed to reach
rs, 600. A correspondent of the Calcutta En-
glishman, writing on the 18th, says:
''The force of the earthquake appears to have
concentrated itself at certain spots and there to
have spent itself. These spots look as though

Country in Silk Culture.
Special to the lndianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Those who know Miss
Cleveland. sister of the President, and author of
work which has just been rut upon the mar
ket, assert that it is the purpose of that lady to
devote herself indirectly TO the re establishment
of the silk-culture industry among the women
of this country Her letter to Commissioner
Coman. which was read before the
recent meeting of agricuturists, shows
that Miss Cleveland has an idea
that the silk industry can again be put upon a
paying basis, and that women can largely add
to their pin money by devoting their time to the
silk worm. The experiment has been tried re-
peatedly in the United States, and great many
thousands of dollars have been paid in bounties
oy the States and the general government, but
thus far there has never been time when the
industry was selfsupporting. If Miss Cleveland
should undertake to aid scheme by her sanction
for again reviving the silk-culture industry
there wall undoubtedly be; enough members of
Congress who will give her their support espe-
ciaily as such proposition would meet with the
unqualified appr oval Of great proportion of the
female element of the land, but it is doubtful if
in view of all the circumstances which surround
the silk industry, the silk worm can ever be
raised on large scale in TINS country.

Scandal in High Life at Berlin.

LONDON, July 13-The Telegraph prints a
Berlin letter giving the particulars of a court
scandal. A prince thirty-fve years of age, a
relative of Emperor William and son of one
of the heroes of the French war,
after entertainment with companions
at the Emperor's chateau Sans Sorici,
near Berlin, supped at Killers in
Berlin and thence went to house frequented by
the jeunesse doree The Joyous band sang, and
shouted, and threw bottles through the win
dows In the midst of the orgies the Prince
quarreled with Lieutenant Prittwitz, of the
First Regiment of Silesian Cuirassiers
and boxed his ears, The police ar
rived on the scene and pursuaded the party
to so home Lieutenant Prittwitz, finding him
self dishonored before his comrades, and eti
quette forbidding duel with a prince shot
himself, leaving letter of explanation. Emperor
William, on being informed Of the affair. wrote
a letter of coincidence to the Lieutenant's father

Continued Improvement in His Health and
Strensth-His General Appearance.
Ems Special.
At present, the Emperor is stronger, more
active and robust than any man of his age
know Of His plans now are to leave Ems in a
few days for Gastien, and if, as is probable, the
Emperor of Austria comes to that neighborhood,
the two Emperors will meet each other as usual.
/ have seen and been near the Emperor every
day for the last fortnight, and notice steady,
continued improvement in his health and
strength. When his Majesty first came here
his eyes were dim, his head dropping, his gait
feeble and shaky more like shuttle than walk
He was suffering from great exhaustion,
caused by catching cod which at once affected
the bladder and kidneys and terminated in the
loss of great quantities of blood. His Maiesty's
state Of prostraton also aggravated bv the
death of Prince Frederick Charles, whose loss
the Emperor continues to feel most acutely.
The death of General Manteuffel also caused the
Emperor to yield to occasional fits of melancholy.
In a few days, however, the tonic waters of Ems
so braced up his iron constitution that his
Majesty was able to walk about in the open air
and drive IN an open victoria, even during
drenching rain.
This moving stood within three feet Of the
Emperor as his Majesty took his usual walk in
the Kurhaus Gardens. He wore tall silk hat
of the latest London form, with very narrow
rm black frock coat, unbuttoned with
crepe band on the left sleeve; white waist coat;
black and blue striped scarf, with plain gold
pin in 1T; loose gray trousers large, comfortable
shoes, and carried stout walking stick. About
fifty little girls from twelve to sixteen years
old, crowded about him with the bouquets of
corn flowers. The Emperor chucked a pretty
little blonde maiden under the chin, pulled her
ear gently, took her bouquet, and, with pleas
ant smile, "Ach vie schoen.' The Emperor
then stopped at hat shop, selected a large,
brown felt hat then walking further, bought
about fifty dollars worth of Bohemian glass
punch bowls, drinking glasses etc, which he
ordered to be sent to Berlin.

Exact Meaning of the Law.

Failure of the Masses to Comprehend the
Exact Meaning of the Law.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The new postal regu-
lations, which went into effect July l, fix the
rate of letter postage at two cents for each
ounce. Postmaster Conger, of this city, says
that this change has created some annoyance
among the patrons of the Washington office, in
that two thirds of the people do not appreciate
the fact that two cents for one ounce is not the
same as one cent for half an ounce Fifty or
one hundred letters are dropped in the. boxes
about the city each day which are
insufficiently prepaid. Especially is this the
case with the drop letters In the letter of instruc
tions issued the 7th instant it was stated that
drop letters would be carried for one cent in the
non delivery towns. Somehow or other people
of the larger cities read this only partly through,
aud are under the impression that one cent will
carry letter anywhere within the confines of
the city in which they reside. These
letters, while generally forwarded to
the addressee, are delayed or two
days sometimes in consequence Of the failure of
the sender to properly prepay. 1t is thought
that the receipts of the postoffice during the
coming year will not be materially decreased,
and that the revenues for the fiscal year 1856
will show in all pro liability the usual percentage
of increase will: perhaps a deduction of some
thing like from three-Guarters Of a million toa
million dollars, on account Of the decreased rate
in newspaper postage.
