FOREIGN GOSSIP. GLEANINGS FROM THE LATEST EURO? PEAN MAILS. Three American Ladles Assume the White Veil in Rome. A letter Irom Rome of February 22 says that OD the 19th of that month three American ladies-Misses Alice Furlong aod Mary Fene? lon, of New Orleans, and Miss Clara Devine, of Savannah-took the white veil at the Con? vent of the Presentation, on the Pindan Hill. These young ladles were in Rome about two years ago on a Continental tour, when they casually visited the schools of the French Sis? ters ot the Sacred Heart. They made several viBitB there, and finally became Imbued with a desire to devote themselves to the life of a nun. The result WBB that, as stated in the letter, they were received la the sisterhood. Many American ladles and gentlemen were present at the ceremony. The Coal Ring in England. The complaint 1B made in England that the railways will not take an order for the trans? port of coal except from a "registered trader." This monopoly, lt ls asserted, has been created by an agreement between the coal merchante and the railway companies, and produces the effects of a "ring.1 It ls suggested that, if this action may be taken In regard to coal, lt may obviously be applied to any other article of consumption. It ls also said that lt cannot have been the intention of Parliament lo leave such powers in the hands of the railway com? panies, and yet no enactment exists compell? ing the transportation ol coal under conditions practically UBefu) to tho public. The Imperial Family at Chiselhurst. A correspondent writes from Chiselhurst concerning the condition of the ex-lmpetlal family and the present appearance of the little chapel wherein lie the remains of the late Emperor. There ls no change In the sur? roundings of the tomb, and it remains, with ile g irlands. Its flowers, and UB bannere, pret? ty much as lt apueareti wheo the body was deposited ibero uti ibe 15ih ol January. The coffin, covered by Its magnificent pall, still re.-i s In lull view of the congregation within its arched and barred recess, a part of the sacristy. Trie tomb will probably remain as lt ls until the arrival irom Scotland of the gran? ite column, the gilt of Qaeen Victoria, when considerable alterations will be made. Tbe Empress Eugenie Bim regularly visits Napo? leon's tomb and attends services at t?e church. Sne is eaid to look cheerful and re? markably well In bCTdeep mourning dress. The Prince Imperial, who has Just completed his seventeenth birthday, has returned to Woolwich. The lete-day ol' the Prince will be that ot the late Emperor-August 15, the leant ol St. Napoleon. Triumph ot a Southern Girl in Rome. A Rome letter says : The Convent of the Sacred Heart at Rome bas under Its control the most refined school ia Europe lor the edu? cation ot ladies. Many eminent women In tbe Eastern and Western Continents imbibed their culture and grace within the old gray walls of Le Sacre Coe ir, where ever gladsome and zealous little French nuns as? sume tne Important duties of the great pro? fessors of St. Sulpice. Louvain and the Sapl enza. The lamons novelist George Sand regu? larly communicates with those bright-faced and' witty Bisters, who seem to have com? pletely iasclnaled the heart of the great writer. During the distribution of premiums at the Convent of the sacred Heart, on Saturday, March 8, Ellen Mary Coulton, the daughter ol a gentleman In the South, took the "solus" medal in each of her classes, a success which entitled ber to the gold medal ot the convent. The gold medal ls only won by those whose proficiency SJ transcends that of each of their companions as to render them "solus"-alone In point of merit. And so difficult ls it to attain to this dignity that the gold medal bas been woo only twice during tue past ten years. Miss Coulton ls the only English-speaking pupil who ever bore away this signal token ot worth. Do not assume that the recipient ol this honor was merely ex? pert in what girls commonly Bindy at home. She had to fight the prestige of French, Bel? gian, German and other girls to whom the In nlcacies of Juvenal's Satires and Horaee'n Eplstoles are as lamliiar as the declension ol a ?Imple noun. And she had rivals versed in the ponderous sentiments o? Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, as well as the Pharsalia of Lu? cian, Tassi.'s Jerusalem, the Loriad of Camo? ens, the Telemachus of Fenelon and other classic ?tudies, Mle had also rivals io the Observatory, In the schools of drawing and pulntlng, and In the higher branches of mathe? matics. A Royal Marriage. The coming marriage of the young Arch? duchess Gisele, daughter of the Emperor of Austria, says the Loudon Globe, naturally makes ber at present the th e.no of every longue in South Germany. The accomplished Princess has only reached her seventeenth year. The "happy man"-Prince Leopold, of Bavaria-ls ten years older. Princess Gisele is tall and slight, wilh eyes as blue as the em? pyrean, and the haughty expression ol face that characterizes her mother and her aunt, the Dueness d'Alencou. She has a good so? prano voice, and Inherits the musical talents ot Francis Joseph in an eminent degree. It may be mentioned that he ls a distinguished violinist, and that his musical tastes are of a superior order. From lier mother, the beau? tiful but capricious Empress Elizabeth, she seems to have Inherited her talents in gracelul horsemanship, in which ac? complishment she ls second lo no one lu tue empire or perhaps out of it. So anxious was the Empress on this head that she undertook tue entire training of the Prin? cess in horsemanship, and she has succeeded in her task admirably. The trousseau and wedding presents are at present laid out sol? emnly tor exhibition in Vienna, and naturally draw immense crowds. Besides the number? less costly laces and magnificent shawls and dresses, a complete toilet-table, lu silver, ls admired for Its exquisite design. There ls also a prayer book palmed in vellum lu the style ol the fifteenth century, and a fan set with precious ?lonee, which has been puinied by Lebrun. The Grand Duchess Alice, of Tuscany, has given the bride a set ol antique cameos ol great value, and the Countess of Chambord, who ls related lo the bride and bridegroom, has added lo the collection a cosily knot of pearls and diamonds. The event will be one of much ec'at, and the Vien? nese very naturally are on the tiptoe ol ex? pectation. The Traffic in Slaves in Egypt. The correspondent ol'the London Dally Tel? egraph, who accompanies Sir Bartle Frere'? expedition lo take steps for the abolition of the slave-trade in Atrlca, in a recent letter, sends the following notes ot the traffic In slaves In ELM pt : Every class of society, from i-asnas und Beys down to a petty shopkeeper, indulges tn the luxury and vice which li id? ioms. No oue can pretend lo respectability a sort ot social franchise-without this proper? ly qualification. No unmarried man can ob? tain lodgings lu a respectable quarter of a town uniese he has a wile or a t?male slave. Tims mea who visit large centres ol' business, aud who are compelled to live there among the people for some time, buy female slaves, whom they resell or otherwise dispose of when they leave for their homes. All this, taken together with the extent of the coun? try and the population, warrants the conclusion that the absorption of slaves In Egypt ls epormouf. Tnere are no open marketa in Cairo, such as the mari at Zinz bur, for the sale ol slaves; but I am in? formed by natives that private establishments for ibe purpose abound ia the Dative town, where an Egyptian can buy slaves without any difficulty whatever. Such ?9 also the cane la every town in the interior, where the traffic is more open. There are two races of slaves sold io Egypt, the white and black. The former are imported irom Turkey, are highly prized, and are bought only by the rich. They ure generally made concubines. Ot course young and good-looking girls fetch high prices, amounting In some cases to thousands of pounds. Belore being sold, they are usual? ly taught certain accomplishments valued by Turkish and Egyptian voluptuaries, such as singing, in some cases music, and Invariably Ihe galt, and behavior of a high-class lady. AB ls toe case with women In these countries, the charms of these girls lade at an age which in cold climates ls considered young, and they have to make room in the harem lor freeh victims. A Reckless Borrower. A peculiarly English case has Just been de? cided In "The Earl of Aylesford vs. Morris.'? It reads like a leal out of one of those inter? esting novels In which figure the needy heir and the extortionate money-lender. Have we not all read of them, the modern Shylock and the Impecunious but hopeful Antonio, whose ship has not yet entered port, and generally bears for its freight the life of some rich and gouty old father? Such was the posh loo ot the Earl of Aylesford. He waa the eldest son of a large landowner and "tenant in tall In re? mainder Immediately expectant on the death ol the father." His Income was only twenty five hundred dollars, so he naturally went io the money-lenders, and they Just as naturally plucked their goose. He first borrowed twenty thousand dollars of one Graham ou right easy terms; a "faollis ?tscensus" Into toe irap. When bis note, became due he of | course could not pay. He was then Introduced to Morrie, who "shaved" him In forty thou? sand dollars upon bills payable In three months at sixty per cent. Interest, seven hun? dred dollars being retained as discount. At the end of three momba no pay, of course, and a lighter squeeze. Other notes for dlty-?ve thousand were given, at sixty per cant, and discount again, so that ot the fllty-flve thou? sand, all expenses being taken off, the noble earl received but thlny-nve thousand. In fact, the earl found that asoften os bis bills arrived at maturity, he must either per? mit himself to be made bankrupt, -or lako up money In the market else? where, which was only shifting the bur? den from one shoulder to another; or he must renew with the original creditor, io which case the accumulation of the debt would be equally rapid and enormous. In the present lustance this was actually done, and would, If repeated, have doubled the debt in the course ot every year. The Lord Chancel? lor in giving Judgment said the a bol i Li cn 01 the usury laws old not relieve persons who lent money to expectant heirs from the onus of | proving that the transaction waa free lrom oppression and extortion. Eminent Judges had said there was great public policy lo re? straining transacting of that kind. The d?? tendant bad utterly failed tc* show any ground that euili led him to more than the ordinary interest of five per cent on the money he had advanced lo the-plaintIff. who was therefore directed to pay what was found due to ibe defendant, with Interest al five per cent only.

The new mint and coinage law, passed at the last session or Congress, makes a change of Bomrt Importance wlih reference to the adoption of an international monetary unit in the weight and value of what are known as the subsidiary silver coins-the hali dollar, the quarter dollar and the dime. The French legal-tender silver coln ls the five-franc piece, which weighs precisely twenty-five grammes, and ls of nine-tenths fineness. Tue smaller coins cf French silver ave of propor? tionate weight, but of less flatness, and therefore of less proportionate value. Our own silver coins will be of nine tent lis floe ness. The hali dollar will have twelve and one-halt grammes, which ls ex? actly one-half of the French Bilver legal-ten? der coln, the five-franc piece. The value of the hall-dollar will oe increased by a change In weight of one-half of ooe per cent above ihe half dollar to which we have been accustomed. The weight ol the dollar piece Is increased from lour hun? dred and sixteen to four hundred and twenty grains, and ls not referred io the basis of the gramme. The object of this Increase ls to ren- J der it more popular for Oriental trude, and lt wilt be very slightly In weight In excess ol the Mexiean silver dollar. Tula coln has been practically demoneytized, and will not be legal tender In sums in excess ol five dollars. This ia a step lo the direction ol a metric system ot coiuage, and the next step ls very easy, for our gold coins are now almost on this same basia ot weight, weighing about three-ienths of one per cent, above ihe metric standard. Dr. Farr, ibe eminent English statistician and political economist, has recommended a change in the British system of coinage, mak? ing the gramme of gold nine tenths due, ihe basis of the British mouey of account The British unit under his system will be a de? cagram of gold nlue-ienlhs line, *.o be called the Victoria, and will be In value exactly equal to two of our three-dollar gold pieces. The position taken lu the law ls most Impor? tant, because it gives assurance that the in? ternational monetary unit must be based on the weight of the gramme to which lt will have simple relation. If each nation adopt for Its monetary unit a weight of equal fine? ness, having simple relation to the same com? mon weight as the gramme, the monetary system of tho different nalions will have a sim?le relation to each o: her, and be easily comparable. The change in our own coln, tb bring them to tte proper weight, will be merely nominal, without requiring recoinage. It is probable that Hie second Issue of the coins wlil be marked with the value and weight, In grammes, stamped upon them. A UTOHA TIC TELEGRAPH Mr. D. H. Craig, formerly general aeeDt ot the Associated Press, announces that the new system of automatic telegraph, on which bo bas been engaged for several years, is finished and in practical operation.

BETH ELOHIM. THIRTIETH ANNIVERSART OF ITS CONSECRATION. A Solemn and Impressive Ceremony An Eloquent Discourse by the Rev. Mr. Chnmacelro. Toe thirtieth anniversary of the consecra? tion ol tbe Synagogue Betb Elohim was cele? brated with appropriate observances last Sab? bath morning, the 29th ultimo, In the Syna? gogue on Easel street, In the presence of a large congregation, Including many of those who habitually attend the Christian churches. An interesting feature of the occasion was the singing ol a beautiful dedicatory ode written some years ago by Hrs. Moise, and set to music by Mr. C. A. Dacosta. The hymns that were sung were the same as those used at the consecration of the edifice thirty years ago, and they were rendered with fine effect by the choir, assisted cu this occasion by a number of ladies and gentlemen of the con? gregation and accompanied by Professor Thomas P. O'Neale, the organist of the Syno gogue, with admirable precision and beauly of ] ezeoutlOD. The annual sermon was preached by the Rabbi, the Rev. J. H. M. Chnmacelro, from Psalms xxiii, 6, and was as follows: '.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to the utmost length of I my days." This supplication of King David ls also our prayer, our wish, our greeting to you, my breibren, on this holy Sabbath, the anniver? sary of ibe consecration of this house of God. With confidence can we offer such a prayer, with hope and faith can every Israelite ex? press such a wish. God's goodness and mercy nave followed Israel all the days of their wanderings-while they lived lo peace, each man under his own vine and fig tree, or during their dispersion, when hunted like the beasts of the forest, to satisfy the thirst for power aod wealth of the nobility In state and church. This holy shrine erected io the name of the Lord Eternal-also every Hebrew here pre? sent-manifest that surely goodness and merov shall follow wherever Ood establishes His abide, wherever truth will be worshipped, even to Ihe utmost length of all days. Wherever tbe Hebrew race were soiltered they constructed for themselves God's houses, and although olten seeking refuge under the unsheltered sky or In dark caves, Israel have never ceased lo worship the shield of their fathers, the Lord ot Heaven, thus dwelling al ihe sacred place selected by Him for Bli habi? tation and for our sojourning. We have divided our lext for Ihla solemn" occasion in two part*, and we will first con? sider "what is God's goodness and mercy," and afterwards " why shall we dwell in iLe bouse of the Lord." I. No monal can monopolize the blessings of prosperity. Tne gifts ot nature are obtain? able by all men alike. It Is not us much the consequence of our binn, position or educa? tion, mat measures lo us those gifts of nature, but lt ls rather the result of our disposition, energy or character. God's goodness aud mercy, as manifested in ihe manliold bless? ings which nature unfolds, do not make dis? tinction as to rank and race. ?Every clime or country bas its peculiar favors bestowed by the Great Architect nlrrfjftuniverse When human mind forces lof^Borial tongue to speak : behold thia land ls desolate and poor, Incapable of maintaining its Inhabitants-then the weak creature accuses and passes Judg? ment upon the Allwlse Creator. For wnat human eye bas ever pierced through the bid? den treasures or the nether world, and seen those gifts la metals or minerals which are still In a stale of formai loo, to ba discovered in future ages ? On every spot In ibe wide creation, wherever a living object can exist, lhere coes God's goodness and mercy follow all the days of its existence. And still those gifts, producing welfare and wealth, are but the lesser lights of God's goodness and mercy. To behold their glory tn full splendor, we have to know meir source, namely, we have to possess a true knowledge of Ihe Deity, so that we may get acquainted with the fulneps of His atiri?me?. What mortal can numerate all those sublime qual? ities ot God's bounty ? We may know the names ol all stars at the firmament, and are still Ignorant as to all their sublime Influences. And none in creation receives a greater meas? ure from God's attributes than maa, and none excels those which are Implanted within ihe human hean. The tendencies and lacultles of the hearl do only render a partial definition ol God's goodness. To honor all truth, to respect all law, io perform all virtue, lo pro? mote all happiness, lo love all, and to bate nothing, are but a few of those qualities exer? cised by the bean. It depends entirely upon one's own disposition, energy and character to make ibis goodness and mercy to shine lortb from his heart, and to follow him all the days ol' lils lite. It requires only a Arm desire to pay the proper reverence lo truth, to obey the mandates of truth, and to cling to truth, even at the temporal cost of some worldly I < benefits and favors. Ii needs only one's own 11 effort to respect what ls handed down to UH as lau, promotive to our welfare, to defead what is right In our eyes, and io protect the cause of Justice and urbanity. It only asks for our own exertion io perform the dictates of vir? tue, lo suppress those Inclination ot base passions, bearing In Hs grasp immorality and misery, and io practice the precepts ot moral excellence. It only wants a strong determination to seek the welfare of our fellow-men, lo exercise benevolence, kindness and friendship, and to seek the hap? piness of one's self, our families and acqualn lances. At last, my brethren, lt only demands [ the full exercise ot man's will to love all and hale non.lng, to use the benign Influences of charily, harmony and peace, so that we will be respected by our inferiors, beioved by our equals and honored by our superiors. To hale nothing, not. even the misunderstandings and mistakes of our neighbors, the afflictions and trials imposed upon us by our kindred. To love ott, even those visitations of God's J goodness and mercy, which cause our bosom lo Blgb, our tears to moisten our cheeks. How would human mind ever be Impressed that there exists goodness, were ll not for the ef? fects of evil? It ls tbrough darkness we know what is light, through distress what Is rejoicing, through misfortune what is happi? ness, through loss the value of possessing. Il Is irom suffering and anxiety we learn the sentiments of our heart, conveying sympathy, mutual sensibility and consolation. It is through pang and woe that man will break ull worldly lies, separating himself from all lin mao influences to Lum to the Disposer of all events, entreating His goodness, and to rely on His mercy. And testify tome all mea of | every age aod rank who experienced sorrow in any bl Its varying ordeals. What else re? conciled you with your sad condition but those sublime qualities emenatlng from the heart, humility, resignation that recognizes God's goodness and mercy in all ? It is that visible narmony existing between Ibe Creator and the creature's heart. It is God's goodness and mercy following man in every tpot wnlch can never leave him, for they are a part of bis nature, the attributes and witnesses of ever? living and omnipresent Providence ! II. "And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord to ihe utmost length of my days." My brethren, bow could Hing David ex? claim : I shall dwell In the house of ihe Lord? Did cot the tribulationsofbls life plainly man-1 liest that a shepherd's boy could rest peace-| lolly with his flock, but he that wears a royal crown bats no saleiy anywhere; his dwelling U constructed on a volcano ? We have explained to you that God's good? ness and mercy are the visible, divine attrib? utes which mao possesses; and are to be dis? tinguished on earth. The second part of our text alludes lo ihe invisible embodiment ot God la man, namely : God's immortal spirit tbe soul-which man caa inhabit to tbe ut? most lengih of bis days. Man can make this holy of holiest, In God's sanctuary-In the whole universe-his dwelling, his support, his protection, his home, to the utmost leogth of his days on earth audio heaven. He therefore requires godly Instruction, di? vine nourishment. At all limes and ages, among all sects and nations, places of sacred worship were erected, where the requirements of man's soul could be trained and perfected. It la tbereiore, my brethren, that our race, ibe Hebrews bave al*o established certain rules for the construction of our synagogue?, which should Impress us how to work for this proper training and perfecting of our soul. Those rules which also guided your pions fathers In the construction of this House Ot God, are exhibited lo you In those three distinct ob? jects, which also constitute the difference be? tween the synagogue and o' her placea o? worship. They are the reader's desk in the centre, the tamid or the burning light, and the holy ark in the east. As the most sacred, let us first examine Into the meaning of the ark. It contains God's word, the essence ol all truth, the basis ol every religion. It ls placed In the ark to teach ns that the leesons of religion cannot be revealed unless we make use ol our bodily and mental powers, to un? lock the doors of our mind and heart. Before we examine the treasures of Sinai, lt ls told : "Know before whom thou standest." Do you approach the Hebrew's sanctuary to Investi? gate what ls pure and perfect, probably to criticise our language, laws and ordinances, or to let your mind sentence, before your heart could plead the Innocence, the divinity of all truth ? The ark is still closed; retire from here before you multiply your sins In profaning what Is tue dearest, the holiest to Israel and all mankind. But have . you entered these blessed gates with the praiseworthy desire to receive nourishment for your soul-welcome do we offer to every fellow-man, of whatever clime, belief or race. When the doors of the ark are opened, you will behold what has no equal on earth, what cannot be said of uuy other work in creation, namely: Here ls a testimony of God's mighty works, not al? tered nor changed In any of lia ferma or types for over thirty-two centuries ! We read them to you In the same manner, ?rom the same writing, those unparalleled words of true tol? erance-"One law, one code for all. as well for the inhabitant of the land aa for the stran? ger " Search freely the columns ol these ?crolls, and, like our barda and sages, scruti? nize every word and letter; he lospired by the Divine aspirations o? those religious princi? ples which are embodied In the belief of all denominations, without the least exception; and exclaim with the Hebrew. The law ol' Hoses ls truth-the divine proclaimer of uni? versal religion I Io me aecond place, we behold the tamid or Ihe ever-burning light, commemorating the holy candlestick placed In the tabernacle, rbis ever-burning light was to Impart to the people that God's light-God's presence-al? though not confined to space nor place, was inore particularly visible In God's sanctuary. That ever burning light, also kindled tn our lanoioary, should te visible when we strive lo perfect our immortal spirit. Let all those holy, godly, heavenly beams spread their brightest light on our path. Let the practice of virtue impress 01 hers that we offer plenty sf nourishment to that godly spirit within u*. Let virtue impart to all men bow the Hebrew, wherever he dwells, Is mindful of his mission to show forth the divine origin of bis soul; that the light of his sou ls manifested through Ihe practice of virtue. And in the third place, the reader's desk la the centre ol the synagogue. It represents lo the Hebrew thal there exists no mediator between the most sublime tendency lo man ind Us Maker, between the soul and God. The reader has to offer prayers and praises, while he stands amidst the people. It teaches ns that for the oerfeoilon ol our godly spirit here cannot exist distinction, nor selection, nur preference. For we are all brethren-If aol all sons of one patriarch-surely children of ONE FATHER. He who occupies Ihe posi? tion ot spiritual leader In Israel holds in bis land ihe most precious link in ihe chain that mites alt men to one family. His priestly robe only expresses the great responsibility of his Qtfloe, his presence among you Is to In? struct ail nations that prayers and praises are inly acceptable to God, when there Is har? mony In devotion, action and feeling. The reader's desk ls consecrated to the most iocred for mankind at large. For lt Is thereon that we unroll the holy scroll of God's word chat admits of no distinction, but ordains universal brotherhood, everlasting uulon. Tue reader himself la the appointed priest of inion, and as such Bhoull be respected, hon jred, yea, beloved, by bia people. Wnen be spreads his hands over you, Invoking God's sanction for his benediction, ha blesses all alike. When concluding his religious exer? cises, while praying lor all: "And may the Lord grant you peace 1" he promises before God and men that peace will direct bim tn all his ways; that for the proper*training and perfection of man's soul lt needs peace, the forerunner of union 1 Thus religion, virtue and union are the great lessons with which the Bynugogue impresses man that enters Us gales, seeking the train ug aud perfection of their immortal spirit, it IB religion, vin ue and union which should je the moral qualifications for all men, to Jweil In ibe house of the Lord, thus to bein constant communion, not alone with Ihe Divine attributes ol the heart, but also with ihe Godly aspirations of the Immortal soul. It remaius an undeniable fact, my brethren, ?hat however truihlul our views as expressed ibis day may seem to each and all ol you, lt nrtil be with every one of us like yesterday, we io still differ In our opinions as to the truth comprised in every religion, and the proper ieflniHon ot virtue. But as to the exact mean? ing of union lhere does not exist difference of Dpinlon among intelligent men. Therefore, my brethren, ol whatever creed and faith, let Dur religion and our virtue obtain their vital power and strength from union. Religion ind virtue separate man from each other, liv? ing In this temporal abode; but onion rs not :on?ned to any condition or circumstance of ile. Union Is the fullness ol God's meroy and goodness; for lt Is only capable through lis superior influences to establish universal rellg on and virtue. With union for our leader we ?hall surely dwell in the house of the Lord, sven lo the utmost length of our days; namely, 30t alone In this house of God made by mortal sands, bul our Immortal spirit, free from all jarib ly Hes, no longer In want of goodness ind mercy, but inhabiting that holy tabernacle n heaven, constructed by the Almighty's nandf, to be there In everlasting communion; dot with the spirit, but with its source, with .he Lord Eternal himself, to the utmost length jt all days, even until time be no morel a. men. Great God of the Universel To Thee we dedicate onr labors in behalt ol religion and rinne. To the claims ot union, O Eternal, ive consecrate our devotion and our worship within Thy sacred temple. May the bumble petitions, therefore, offered within this holy shrine be favorably accepted by Theo. May the prayers originating from the different opinions as to the dictates of religion and vir? tue asoend to Thee, O Lord, as one harmonious praise, as ihe essence from the sacred altar of adoration to the Cause of all existence. Pour out Thy goodness and mercy, O most adorable and loving God, upon Thy sacred J welling place, upon the president ana officer? md members of this holy congregation; opon Bach and all who contribute io adorn our wor? ship by music und Bong. Aud may each ol us consecrate lor himself a sanctuary within his own heart, where the Lord Eternal will be praised, extolled and glorified to the utmost length of his day, lrom now till evermore. Amen. LOST LOUISIANA. The New Orleans Picayune says: "Thia State and city ( Louisiana and New Orleans) ore rapidly verging towards tho abyss of utter min and disorganization, politically, socially and commercially. Every interest ia para? lyzed, property is worthless, rents are not col? lectable, securities are valueless, money ls boarded, enterprise is banished and industry only needs the means to flv the country.

As for sugar, another of ocr great staples, but few of the plantations can last through another season without falling into tbe bands of the sheriff or the mortgagees There can be no ex g aeration of our wofol con? dition.

Its bead was like that of a hippocampus, and Its calculated length, Jndgtog by the un? dulations of Its body as they appeared above water, was about twenty-five leet. A large mania, or devll-flsb, was seen also In Its com? pany." CALIFORNIA JUSTICE. DETAILS OE TBE LYNCHING OF THE DESPERADO, MATT. TABPEY. V. _^ ' - ? * * Ba turing Down the Ja ii Door-The Im. prompt? Gibbet-The Murderer Plead? ing for hi? LIfe-strange Scene* ?'Hong Like a Dog." We gather the following additional details of toe lynching ol Malt. Tarpey from Ute cor? respondence ol thc Ban Francisco CoronIcie: The jail at Monterey waa a very s'rong ooo. The celle were of solid stone masonry ?nd all the fittings of the strongest and most Improved kind. The outer Iron door was a very heavy ; one, and lt took half an hour lo batter lt d o wo. Tarpey's mother, wife and little da stood by all ihe while begging for me the tin fortunate wretch. The door ? Anally broken In a dozen determined well-armed men sought Tarpey's celL-* wu8 lound crouching In a corner, and gie. at the Intruders like a tiger at bay. He erl dently knew what to expect, and belora tbs first blow was struck at the door of bia cell began to plead tor Hie. By toroa he begged, denounced hts assailants, asserted bia inno cence, and called on Qod tor mercy. He then tried to reason calmly with his captors, bot ba was told he must go tu Salinas, and wai har? ried Into a two-seated wagon In waifing at the . door of the Jail. _. <'. A TERRIBLE BOOTIE. As be felt tbe Jail bis mother and ?Ito rushed forward aod bung upon bis neck, beg? ging the crowd to spare bim. Tarpey plead for his wile, mother aod little ones, and at last they had tobe lord bly parted. He Was theo bound hand and foot and placed 4? the wagon. The last leave taking with his family was piteous lo th? extreme. Finally the wagoo, followed by a crowd ol three or four hundred, was driven rapidly toward ballnaa. Three miles from Monterey the wagoe halted under a large pine i ree. Tbe crowd sar rounded the spot, while the prisoner wa* told that he would be allowed half cn hour to ar? range his business affairs sod to make his peace with God. Theo, for the first time, Tar-. pey seemed to realize the awfnl fact that be was lo die. He ceased begging like a coward, ' and began to entreat io a manly way fora. show of justice. He was a good sneaker, bar?. lng taken the stump In maoy a political con? test . Though so great a scoundrel, be was a .mao of conslderaoie talent, aod bad a very fair education, a ready flow of language, and an earnestness of manner that made him elo? quent. A man pleading for his lifo could not well help being earnest. Bat Tarpey was' naturally an earliest speaker, and what be said generally made a good impression. He knew bis power lo this respect, and be tried it with the determined but heterogeneous crowd around the death tree. TARPS Y'S LAST WORDS. He argued that the court should hear bis case aod decide. He protested that he did not kill the woman 1 n tentlonally, bot that be, meant to shoot the man who be believed had drawn a pistol oo bim. He deprecated lynch law, and said that lt brought everlasting dis? grace on a community thai resorted to lt. He Bald be had been a bad man and had done many wicked things, and DOW be was willing to bow to what the law might decree; bot he did oot want to be strung op like a dog, with out'trial. If there were men who thirsted for his blood let them shoot him; but he begged thal bis family might be spared the disgrace of his belog hung. Tarpey saw that hts plead? ings did not have the slightest effect, and that he was doomed. He saw several Mexican friends and relatives of men be helped' to hang by mob violence years ago. He saw Nicholson, the husband of the murdered; woman. He saw the faces ol dozens of quiet, resolved men, whom he knew bad made op' their minds that he must die. Above all, be saw In the crowd a disposition to get the .dis-, .agreeable task performed as quickly ?a possible. He beard mutterings such aa,' .'Come, DOW, that's enough P "Harry up, and let's get lt over I" ? ''Come, don't, let's stay here all Dight 1" aod he knew that his pleadings were in vain. NICHOLSON MCAUS HIB HARV. Tarpey saw Nicholson in the crowd, .tod asked his forgiveness. The latter at fir? Said no, he would not forgive bim, or take bis hand. But Tarpey entreated, and finally Nicholson, at the earnest solicitation ol ?wo or lliree friends, said he would forgive him. "He took Nicholson's passive band, but bis earnest grasp was but feebly returned. Tarpey then said : "Mr. Nicholson, I have wronged yon deeply, aod I know that I am golog to die. But I don't want to be hung like a dog. I want you to shoot me. Ten are the only oae that ought to do lt." Nicholson seemed taken' wilhth.s proposition, and be ac tu ?Hy'asked' permission to do lt, but of course hts request was not noticed. Nicholson staid Dear by, however, determined to assist In some way. Tarpey's face grew ashy pale, and he asked a law ver to write out a brief will. He bequeathed $1000 to Mr. Nicholson, $1000 each to two relatives In New fork City, $1000 to any Cath? olic orphan atyJum that hts wife might select, aod ali the rest ot bis property-near $75,000 lo his family. He then prayed and plead for ten minnies more, and finally gasped that-ha was ready. THE EXECUTION. Two Spaniards adjusted one end of a rope around Tarpey's neck. The other eod they threw over the limb of the tree aod made IC fast near the grouod. The pine box was placed on the rear seat of the wagon, and Tar? pey waa lifted to the top ol lt. At this lime the man was deadly pale, bat be seemed firm' and resigned to bis fate. He said be boped there were none there who were his enemies. Maoy near by shook hands with him, aod as? sured him that they were oot. He said that he wanted bis body tobe burled In Monterey. Some ene near by said "All right, Tarpey. b there anything else ?" ''No." he said; "I think not. Let me take a good look aroand, and see the trees aod the sky for the last time." He turned completely around aod gazed far off on every side. Thea, with a look of the most abject despair, he said : "Now Fm ready. God have mercy on me 1" The band* age was quickly adjusted, aod then the two Spaniards aod Nicholson weat and stood. hy. the rope. At a sigoal, the wagoo was driven suddenly out, and at the same moment one of the Spaniards gave Tarpey a push backward from the box. The body fell shoot four feet, and as the rope was new it stretched, and tba loee J uet touched the ground. Nicholson, the two Spaniards and two or three others ros bed to ihe rope and pulled the body op a couple of feet, where lt was permitted to hang. There were a few violent struggles, and then all was over. The crowd remained OD the ground for nearly half an hour longer, aod than, dis? persed. _ _ _ OUR SOUTH ATLANTIC NEIGHBORS.
