A Confederate Giants Sabre.

Among the relics of the late war slowed
away in the United States Ordnance Mu-
scum on Seventeenth street is sabre,
fully five feet long, which was found on
the battlefield of Manassas. This for
midablc looking weapon was evidently
made in some village blacksmith's shop,
from the tabled plowsharc, at the out
break of the war and its handle appears
to have been carved with Il jackknife
from cows horn. 4 Virginian who
visited the museum last week recognized
the sabre as one that had been used by a
giant Virginia cavalryman in "Jeb"
Stuart's command.
s.Thc cavalryman in question, " said
the Virginian to the Hatehef, ''was near
Iy seven feet high and broad in proper
lion. He had that big sabre made by a
crossroads horseshoer and promised to
hcw his way through the Yankee lines
with it and enter Washington, but, poor
fellow, he was shot at Manassas before he
eoald carry out his rash purpose.

CAPSlZED BY A DYING WHALE.
New Bedford Senpaen Three Days With.
ont Food or Drink.

The steamer Advance has arrived in New
York bringing with her six of the crew of %
men of the whaling Schooner Mary E. Sim
mons, Capt Manly, of New Bedford. They
were picked up about l15 miles from Stanton
by the English ship County of Glare, bound
from Wales to Bombay, and landed at Per-
nambuco. One of them, Arthur G. Ward,
said:
Capt Manly saw a school of whales while
cruising to the eastward of Pernambuco on
Nov. 80 The first ard second mates lowered
boats and started i'll pursuit When each
boat had killed whale and had fastened to
another, the third mate went off in a spare
boat, his own having replaced the first mates,
which was out of order, and struck another
whale 1t ran eight or ten miles and then
sounded. When it came up again, it struck
the boat and upset it, besides knocking two
holes in its bottom We were the crew of
that beat. We turned her over again and lashed
the oars across her to keep her right side up.
Shortly before dark we saw the schooner look
ing for us, but could not make ourselves seen.
We saw seven ships the next day, but none Of
them saw our signals. The boat, being a
spare one, contained nothing to eat or drink,
and that, of course, made matters much
worse. One man became deliriouS and we
had to tie him to the boat to keep him
from jumping overheard. At last, after
having been three nights and nearly three
days in the boat. with the water up around
our waists we were picked up by the County
of Glare, which landed us at Pernambuco, from
whence we came here We are now going to
reioin the schooner at New Bedford, where.
it is supposed, she vi i'll soon arrive"

Mr.. Barnum sends the following short
account of Jumbo's introduction to his
herd of elephants:
''The day after Jumbo's arrival at
Madison Square Garden we resolved to
introduce him to the thirty five Indian
elephants which we had there. Some of
us feared the result, but Scott insisted
that Jumbo was too much of gentleman
TO misbehave, So we placed our thirty
five elephants in row. each being
chained one leg to post, and then Scott
led Jumbo in. He passed in front of the
string of elephants, looking at first lit
tie surprised, as did all the other elc-
plants when they first discovered him
approaching, But Jumbo and all the
other elephants at once looked kindly,
and each extended its trunk as Jumbo
passed, which he fondly took with his
own trunk, giving each elephant a kind
caress. Mutual affection seemed at once
established, and it extended without in
terruption till the day of his death. y

The Great Seal of the C0nfederacy.

There is mystery as impcnetrable as
the authorship of the Junius letters sur
rounding the great seal of the confcder-
ate states of America. Where is it? No
man but its posscssor knows. 1t had a
curious history. Not until February %,
1862, did the provisional government be
come permanent, and not until April 80,
1863, was an act approved by the confed
crate congress for SEAL The design had
for its centre a representation of the
equestrian statue of Washington at Rich
mond, with the legend encircling it,
Confederate States of America, Februa-
ny 20, 1862" In wreath were mingled
cotton, rice and tobacco plants, emblem
attic of southern products. Below was
the motto, 'Deo Vindice." John w.
Mason, notorious from the Trent affair,
was then in London, and was entrusted
with securing the manufacture of the
seal. 1t cost, with accompanying press,
wax and waters, nearly $700 1t was
from solid silver, and u marvelously
beautiful specimen of the engraver's art
Not until July 6, 1864, was it committed
to the charge of Lieut.. Chapman, who
sailed for Bermuda via Halifax. 1t was
safely brought to Richmond, and few
foreign documents and very few domestic
papers received its impress. 1t has been
enormously said that it was never used.
In the final panic that accompanied the
closing of the Union forces upon the con-
fcderate capital the seal disappeared

THE NEW YORK a" TROUBLE.
Two Lines stop Running 20 Forestaii
the Action bt Their Engineers,


The excitement in New York city over the
recent lockout ON the Second and Ninth

The official announcement of the closing of
the two lines above mentioned came so late

10 the sixth or the Third Avenue lines, as
best suited each persons convenience, and
blocked the station in their hurry TO get

surprise to the 20 or so engineers and the like
number of firemen and other employees on
the Second and the Ninth avenues lines.

The King of Bavaria keeps carefully

The King of Bavaria keeps carefully
out of sight, but contrivcs to provide
matter Tor more stories about his private
doings than any of the visible monarchs
of Europe. King Ludwig's latest &c
centricity is remarkable even for him;
he has been photographed. During ono
of his solitary walks in the Bavarian
Alps he encountered an amiable OK,
which barred tho way and refused to
allow his majesty to pass. For bovine
subject to make himself so unpleasantly
conspicuous was not to be endured;
wherefore the king seized plank
which happened to be at hand, and,
placing himself in position of attack,
as with a bayonet, he prepared to charge.
Then, of course. the surly OK sheered
off and allowed the King to pass, and he
was so pleased with his own exploit that
he had himself photographed in the at.
titude of charging.

CATHOLIC llBERAllTY.
Blow at the Union of Religion and Poll
ties, with the POpe's Sanction.

A Madrid dispatch says: The manifesto Of
the Spanish bishops now on the eve of official
publication will strike CONSERVATION into the
hearts of those Catholics, all over Europe
who persist in being more clerical than the
Pope, and with mixing up things eternal
with things political. II will mark new de-
parture in the history of the Catholic Church
In Spain, and will be another step toward the
realization of that ideal toward which all Leo
KITS aspirations tend-the Identification Of
Catholicism with the people, The Spanish
bishops, after long and secret consultation,
proclaim what in Spain is novel doctrine.
Henceforth politics and religion must not be
COMPOUNDED in Spain. The pith of the docu-
ment will be in clause which states that
''provided that the faitu and Catholic princi-
pies be respected all forms Of government are
admissible and that mo newspaper or pub
lcation in Spain shall in any way be consd-
cred an organ of the Vatican as to any form
Of government that may be adopted" The
bishops denounce all who may oppose this
doctrine as bad Catholics, and plumply in-
form the Ultramontane journalists that their
rawlings have Just so much authority as their
arguments. but 10 more The holy father
had already dealt several crushing blows at
the French and Italian Ultramontanes. By
sanctioning the publication of the Spanish
bishops manifesto, he now rebukes the Car
list agitators, who, under the cloak of religion,
are stirring civil war Thanks to papal wis
dom, the bigotry and ignorance which made
Catholic Spain byword has gradually been
dispelled The mere announcement of the
manifesto has made an immense impression.
If adhered too,it will cripple monarchical con-
spirators who are watching the opportunity
for another revolution.

Put back your fower-like hands to mine
The pledge now flies, it flies away
To the Eastern land-to the land of day.
rTis the lantern feast Ninth moon commands!
Now, maidens, lift your fowerIike hands"
To 10y Vow, whom they now called
"Hide Your-Eyes," Wong Hay now
sang:
"Come, thunder-shower, with all your power,
And open this four-fngered flower"
Meantime, as she sang, she had drop,

children use a button in similar game.
AT the words, " Maidens, lift your gold

shed, and, using long stick as if it were
a wand, pointed to the one whom
she suspected of having the little pledge.
She was not successful, however, for
the hands opened and nothing was found
there. So she had to try it all over;
while Wong Hay walked about again
and sang the little oriental melody.
The second time, she looked very
closely in the faces of her Chinese play
fellows, and she saw SO funny look On

1be work of widening the Suez Canal IS

government to sanction modification Of the
treaty so as to allow the interest on the pro-
posed loan of IS. 100000 to he paid out of the
loan itself instead of from the receipts of the
canal as stipulated by the treaty. A further
ground offered by Egypt for her refusal is
that the concession to NJ de LesSeps for the
canal provides for width of A metres, and
that the projected increase to 66 metres is
deviation therefrom. The object of Egypt's
refusal is supposed to be a hope that it
