Superstition and the Occult.

From the Philadelphia Medical Journal
Inability to comprehend events before
science had been brought forth gave rise
to earnest effort to grasp phenomena by
divination OF various kinds Belief in an
unknown power led to the animation of
objects Thus polytheism arose 1t is the
effort of rational men to dissipate the be-
liefs which thousands of years have rem
dered well-nigh innate in the human race.
1t We're well on this ground alone that SUI
persttlous prophecies about King Edward
should prove to be wrong. and that the
kings life should be spared, not only as
the result of his surgeons achievement.
but as proof that such supersttions are
false. We may not at all times be able to
interpret the workings of nature There
Is, however, no reason for calling in the
supernatural to explain what is simply be-
yond our ken. AS the years go on we add
little to our sum total of knowledge and
We are thus enabled to interpret by per-
fectly rational means what would have
been referred to the BLACK arts a century
or two ago. Education aiscredits supersti-
tious beliefs and aims to explain the coin
cidences. which at times appear to exist
by the means at it's command To the ig-
norant and the credulous the occult ap-
peals much more strongly than to the edu-
cated mind. For that reason the wide pub
licfty given to the forebodings Of King Ed
wards Illness is most to be deplored.

TRANSFER TO ATLANTA.
General Freight Department of South
ern Railway to Be Located There.

1t was officially announced today that the
general freight department of the South
ern RailwayCompany would be transferred
from this city to Atlanta, Ga. Mr.. Lincoln
Greene, assistant general freight agent,
gave this information this afternoon TO
reporter of The Star. Mr.. Greene said the
freight department would be moved during
the month Of September, and that it will
be open for business at Atlanta by the 1st
of October.
Mr.. Greene has just returned from At
lanta, where he engaged quarters for tie
freight department and made all necessary
arrangements for the removal to that city.
The transfer, MIR. Greene said, is deemed
advisable by the officials of the company
for the reason that Atlanta Is about
the most central point of the freight sys-
tenn and that the location of the general
freight department at that place will great
ly facilitate the work of the office.
1t was also learned that there would be
no changes made in the heads of the de
partment, and that the clerks who are EN-
ployed in the freight offices here will, il
they desire. be taken to Atlanta when the
transfer is perfected. Some of the clerks
are delighted with the idea of going south, ,
while others, it is said, are very reluctant
to leave their homes.

NOT A PUBLIC ALLEY.
Opinion of Assistant Corporation
Counsel Regarding Strip of Land.

Arthur H. O'Connor, assistant corpora
tion counsel. has submitted opinion to
the Commissioners on the question raised
by II. L. Rust as to whether the strip of
land six feet wide, south of and adjoining
lot 3 OF the a. H Lee subdivision of the
square bounded by II. /, 18th and 14th
streets. is public alley.
1t appears. says Mr.. O'Connor. from
the records of the surveyor that in the year
1870 Alfred II. Lee made a subdivision of
a portion of the square named into lots l
to D, inclusive "a true copy of the subdi-
vision certificate of subdivision signed by
the assistant surveyor accompanying the
papers in the case.
in that subdivision the strip of land re-
ferred to is designated alley without
restriction as TO its use. In order to con-
stitute this a public alley there must not
only be dedication by the owner, but an
acceptance expressed or implied on the
part of the public authorities No express
acceptance is shown by the papers before
by the records of the surveyors Of
flee. l do not find anything from which
an acceptance could be implied. While il
has been reported that this alley has not
been subject to taxation, there does not ap-
pear to have been any order made by the
Commissioners in the premises that the
property should be exempt from taxation.
1t does not appear that public money
has been spent in improving the alley, anG
that it has not been used by the public.
In view of the circumstances | am of
the opinion that no acceptance on the part
of the public can be implied, and that it
has not become public alley.
This case is similar to that of a three
foot alley in the square bounded by A. B.
ID and Sd streets southeast, upon which
the corporation counsel recently submitted
an opinion, to which | respectfully refer in
connection with this matter"
Col. Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner
has approved the opinion. and has recon-
mended that the surveyor report the matter
to the District assessor and have the alley
in question recorded for taxation.

Italians Who Do Not Speak italian.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


A very odd circumstance in a country SO
old as Italy is that there are In the penin-
sula about $4,000 Italians representing
5S,20S families in seventy-eight different
communes. who do not speak Italian. In
new countries-ike, for instance, Canada
and the United States-this would cause no
surprise, but in Italy it is considered so
strange that the statement has been con-
tradicted.
The idiomS which they use may be divid-
ed roughly into siX-French German Sla-
vonic, Albanese, Greek and Catalonian. The
French dialect is spoken in ninety-seven
communeS, by more than SO, 600 people, in
and near the Aosta valley. This language
tends more to increase than to decrease,
and is used officially in the. schools
churches and public offices. German is
spoken in parts Of Piedmont and Venetia
in the former by 800 persons, representing
Lbs families. and in the latter by :, 200 in
Ito families. This dialect is fast decreas-
ing. and will before long have completely
disappeared. Slav is spoken in Friuli. on
the eastern confines Of the peninsula by
24.100 persons. and in the Abruzzi by $500
in 1,04I families; that is, $4,000 persons al
together.
In the center of Italy 81 ,564 families COM
posed of about $4,000 persons, speak Alban-
csc, and seem to be the increase. In
the south, Greek Is the language of 81 200
individuals while Catalonian is limited to
one city and its en-irons in Sardinia and
to 1886 people.

The corps is the greatest military unit next

were the direct lieutenants of the generals
who commanded the great armies OF these
corps commanders there remain now alive
but fve-Gen. Daniel Z. Sickles who COM
manded the Sd Corps. and is now the rank

times the 4th and 11th Corps and the Army

and is now on the retired list, and Major
Gen. James II. Wilson, who commanded
the cavalry of the military division of the
Mississippi, which included all the mounted
troops in the armies of the Ohio, Cumber-

Gen. Sigel's Service.
General Sigel belonged to this group Of
high officers by virtue of his command of
the 11th Corps from June -, 1862. until the
beginning of 1863, when he was superseded
by General Q. o. Howard This country in
its earlier history had the supreme ad-
vantage of compulsory immigration of great
bodies of the citizens of Europe, sent hither
by the force of religious and political per-
secution. Probably the most important of
these, next to the Stuart rebellion in Eng
land in 17i5. which brought here many
thousands of the English, Scotch and Irish
Presbyterians, was the socalled revolution
o. 1S4S in Germany, which eXpatriated very
many thousands of the educated enthusias-
tic, idealstic young men of the fatherland.
They were a wonderful enrichment of this
country in every way, and many of them
nave been very prominent in our political,
social and business affairs.
The military leader among them was
General Franz Sigel. who had successfully
conducted a brilliant retreat of the young
reVolutioniSts in front of an overwhelming
force of the royal troops. He likewise had
much of fame as educated artillerist.
These young Germans formed a very large
and influential portion of the citizens of st.
Louis and during the stormy days imme-
diately preceding the threw their in
fiuence solidly for the Union. They regarded
Franz Sigel as the first soldier among
them. and he was Immediately elected colo
mel of regiment of home guards, which
had, 1 believe, a strong influence in retain
ing Missouri in the Union"
