The New Emperor's Proclamation.

"1o my people:
"God's decree has once more pinng.
ed US into the most poignant sorrow.
The tomb has scarcely closed over the
mortal remains Of my never to-be-for.
gotten grandfather, when his Majesty,
my warmly loved father, is also called
from this life into everlasting peace,
The heroic energy, prompted by the
|seii-sacritice, with which, despite his
|sufferings he knew how to fulfil his
kinely duties, seemed TO justify the
hope that he would be preserved TO the
fatherland still longer. God wiIied
differently.
"The royal sufferers spirit, whose
heart beat responsive to all, was great
and beautiful. He only had few
months granted to him to display Oh
the throne the noble qualities Of mind
and heart which won him the love of
his people. The virtues which ador-
ned him and the victories which he
achieved on the battlefield will remain
grateful remembrance as long as Ger
man hearts beat. This imperisaabie
glory will illuminate his glorious fig
ure in the history Of the fatherlaud.
"Cailed to the throne Of my fathers, l
have assumed the government looking
up to the King of kings, and have
| vowed to God that after the example
of my father will be just and clem-
ent Prince to my people; that will
foster piety and fear of God; that will
protect peace and promote the welfare
of the country, and that I will be a
helper of the poor aud distressed and a
true guardian of their rights. In pray
ing God for strength to fulfil these
kingiy duties, which His will imposes
upon me, I am supported by conf
dence in the Prussian people, which a
glance at our past history gives me.
In good and evil days the Prussian
people have always stood by their
Kings. Upon this fidelity, which my
fathers have found an indissoluble
bond at all times of difficulty and
danger, rely with consciousness OF
returning it from the bottom OF my
heart as the faithful Prince of faith
full people, both equally strong in their
devotion to their common fatherlaud.
From this consciousness OF the recipro-
Gated love uniting me and my people,
I derive confidence that God will
vouchsafe the strength and wisdom 10

Louisiana History in the Civil War.

The last biennial official report of
Secretary Of State Oscar Arroyo is a
mine Of valuable and interesting infor.
nation concerning many things in
Louisiana. Among other items is a
report on the troops furnished by
Louisiana in the late civil war, giving
rosters of the officers and summary
OF the enrolIments, losses and other
matters connected with the men who
went from this commonwealth to fight
for the Confederacy. As no more com.

and as the Picayune, when it publish

report, from which important material
might have been drawn, occasion is
now taken to make some extracts.

Having noticed that a large furni.
ture manufactory at Nashville is very
particular in regard to dry lumber,
remarks the Southern LumbermaH,
VIC asked the president and suPorin-
londent of the factory to explain what
he meant when he says he wants to
buy dry lumber, and told him he
would publish it for the benefit of
those who have dry lumber for sale.
A few days ago he handed us the fol,
lowing;
Lumber dealers generally call lum.
ber dry when three months old. BY
this they mean shipping dry. Manu-
(aGtureTs call lumber dry or seasoned
when one year old, and over one and
one half inches thick should be one

good deal depends upon what time
Of the year it was sawed, and whether
logs had been RATED in the river OF

ing proper description; but there you
can see numberIess relics ofthat ancient
and wonderful race, the AZteCs; their
stone Gods OF various and uncOuth
shapes, their implements of husbandry
and of war, their altars and their en-
bIems of worship There we beheld that
sacrifcial stone, upon which thousands
of human victims had been murdered
under the mistaken and barbarOus idea
that in so doing they We're propitiating
their God. 1t consisted of a large block
of Jasper, the surface of which was con-
yeN, and upon which the victims being
bound alive, facilitated the priests in
cutting out their hearts which was eX-
hibited to the masses below, amidst
yells OF delight.
What wonderful change has taken
place from the most cruel barbarity to
christianity in the last century? The
sacrltiCial affairs are only remembered
and exhibited as relics of ancient bar
barity and are everywhere replaced by
churches dedicated to the Most High,

the MOntezumas, II vast and grand edi-
flee wei worthy of that great King. We
also viewed the great battle ground
where General Scott fought his famous
battle, which gave him the city Of Mex
lC0, and terminated the Mexican war.
Thence we jOurneyed to the city Of
Vera Cruz. The scenery through which
we passed fully justifes the wonderful
description given by our great American
Historian, the gifted Bancroft. For
sometimes we would be tWlnlng around
the SUBMITS of vast mountains whose
rugged peaks were capped, with snow;
extinct volcanoes, whose barren sides
still showed traces Of the molten lava
which had destroyed all vegetation and
beneath, as far as the eye could reach, h,
sugar cane, fields coffee, orange groves,
lemons, Citronsy bananas, pine apples,
and all the rare rich fruits that grow in
that latitune groves of coCOanut trees

we would pass through vast plains COW

the cactus plant, and over which We're

dom and barely as much intelligence:
The road around these mountains
show wonderful engineering skill, for at
times the engine Circling around the
mountain tops would seem TO apparently
meet with the last car, which would be
but a few hundred feet distant. At this
altitude we would feel buzzing sensa-
| ton of the ear and entirely lose our
hearing, which we would suddenly re-
gain upon descending the mountain.

are SO frequent and appear to be SO
natural part of it that they are not

Another great factor in the increase
of crime, consequent upon weakening,
is drunkenness. Chaplain Horsely,
formerly @of Her Maiesty's prison,
Clarkenwell, in answer to the question,
"What proportion of crime is directly
or indirectly due to intemperauce
habits in the matter Of drink?' replies:
MY answer, drawn from the expert
enGG of ten years, during which over
one hundred thousand men aud women
have come under my notice, is that
ha Of the crime Of England and Wales
is directly, and an additional one,
fourth indirectly, caused by intemper-
auce''-a to al, direcly and indirectly,
of 70 per cent Authorities in the
United States state that the proportion
is much greater than thati and some
English authorities place IT as high as
90 per cent, How Intimately this sin
is connected with our own record of
crime in Massachusetts, may be inferred
from the fact that Maine aud Massa-
chusetts have the largest number Of
saloon keepers or liqnor-sellers of all
the States in the Union, and New York,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania the
largest number Of drurkardsl It's
prevalence IN the cqHnLry will he real
lied from the fact that in the 492
towns in the United States having over
5000 inhabitants each, aud total
population OF IL, 6B0, 1871, there is one
liquor saloon to every l60 inhabitants.
Allowance mnst be made, Of course,
for the districts which some Of these
centers supply; hut, after making
liberal allowance, Mr., Wines thinks
that we shall have one for every $50
adults IN the United States. 10 bring
The tigures more directly home, Boston
had on was said 10 have 2,9l0 liquor
saloons, or one to every 1916 persons,
in 1886, and one arrest TO every twelve
and half individuals; ~ the country
at large, there was one arrest for every
twenty inhabitants in 1880. Next to
drunkenness as factor in crime, IFS
progeny, which inherits haleful habits
Of lawlessness and displuteness, and
perpetuates them in oFer.inereaslng
ratio, is to be considered. The intla-
ence pf heFedity IN multiplying our
criminal CLASSES, and in their analoin-
icRl, physiological and mental degenet-
alton, has neger been fnllg cnrnpTe-
hended. the Instance cited by I'M,
