A thousand young ladies, between the ages of
sixteen and twenty, left New York early thia week
for the Western frontiers. They go in search of
gold and silver and precious stones.
All bnt one of the volunteer army surgeons in
service have been mustered out by an order from
the War Department. Nearly all of them were
doing duty in connection with the Freedmen's
Bureau.
The Ohio and Mississippi Company are making
arrangements to Jay a third rail (narrow gauge)
from St. Louis to Odin. This will be accomplished
this fall, when cars will be run through to Cairo
and Chicago without change.
Rev. C. L. VANCE, the "Boy Preacher," who creat?
ed quite a sensation in Steubenville last winter,
and was subsequently dismissed from the Metho?
dist Church for dishonest practices, has turned up
in Tennessee as the vender of "Life Drops,"
The notice of a coal dealer in tho Cincinnati pa?
pers will look queer to readers East, aa in that
notice commending anthracite coal he says that
"with each first order a man will accompany tho
coal to the purchaser's residence, to light the fire
and explain the use of the article." Is anthracite
coal really such ;i novelty in Cincinnati ?
Among tie relics preserved at Aix-la-Chapelle,
L'Avenir Nationale mentions the handkerchief of
JOHN tho Baptist. As, however, from tho Scrip?
ture narrative, it does not appear certain that
JOHN possessed this indispensible requisite of
modern civilization, the authenticity of this relic
is probably open to dispute.
A man is now lying in the St. Jean Hospital in
Torin, in a complete Rtate of lethargy. He is
quite insensible to the pricks from needles, and
the soles, of his feet are also without feeling.
Some shocks of electricity nave alone produced
any effect on him. He is twenty-four years of age,
and for the last few days has lived on milk passed
through his nose into the oesophagus.
At a masa meeting in Victoria square, Montreal,
on Wednesday, August 21, Mr. DEVLIN denounced
D'ABCY MCGEE without stint, and stated that al?
though tho name of RICHARD O'GORMAN, of New
York, had been mentioned by MCGEE as being con?
nected with his pretended disclosures about the
Fenians, it was well known that Mr. O'GOBMAU had
never been connected with thc schemes of the
Fenian leaders, but had always discouraged them.
The laborers on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
have strnok for the payment of their back wages.
Some of them have not been paid in eighteen
months. They have stopped all the trains at
Jackson, Tennessee, swearing that the road shall
not be used until the payment is made. Other
laborers who attempted to take their places were
driven off. A company of soldiers have been sent
to pi otc ct the road.
The destruction to crops, ?c., by the heavy
rains of this month is very great, particularly in
Pennsylvania. The potato crop is badly injured
by rotting, much fencing has been carried away,
and the tomato crop in thia State is almost a fail?
ure. In New Jersey the damage has not been so
great, the sandy soil absorbing the water almost
as fast as it fell; but even there considerable hay
and other crops were washed away.
SASSAKX GOWBOK, the Japanese official at Spring?
field, has presented to JAKES L. AMSDZN a copy of
an illustrated work on botany, published and
bound in Japan. The work was presented in
acknowledgment of information given him con?
cerning the mode of making cider, vinegar, and
fruit wines. Although they nave apples and other
fruit in Japan, they have never known how to make
from them the articles mentioned. All their vine?
gar has been made from a distillation of rice.
Excavations at Lillebonne, France, continue,
and nearly every day some new discovery is made.
The collection brought together at Catillon now
comprises a great number of objects of archaeo?
logical value. Among' them is a fragment of a
circular mirror, an examination of which shows it
to be composed of glass, foliated with a thin sheet
of pure lead. Thus it seems that the Gallo
Romans practised the plating of glass, as the Gauls
had previously known how to plate metals.
Signor MATTKDCCI has just published a paper on
the secondary electro-motor power of nerves,
which promises to throw light on obscure problems
of nutrition and secretion. He finds that thia
secondary force is much more powerful and per?
manent than is generally supposed, and that it
has a most important influence over the various
chemico-vital operations performed by the tissues.
He has not yet concluded his general statement,
but intends to continue his remarks in a series of
essays to be published forthwith.
Nearly all foreign countries, and especially the
British Colonial possessions on this continent, are
flooded with American coin. In Canada silver is
go abundant as to be regarded a decided nuisance
which the authorities and people are discussing
measures to abate. At a special meeting of the
London, C. W., Board of Trade, held a few days
since, a resolution was passed urging merchants
and others to take American silver at four per
cent, disoennt, until something definite is done
with regard to the matter.
The Frederickaburg Herald says : "We are in
the mid?t of the great sumac harvest. By carts,
wagons, and on the shoulders, it comes to market.
A few years ago it waa not a commercial article at
any price. Then $1 was paid; and last year aa
much aa $1.65 per hundred was paid. Now it may
be quoted at from $1.80 to $1.85. It commands a
higher price in Fredericksburg than any other
market in Virginia. We have heard some esti?
mate that as much as $80,000 would be paid out
for it in this market, the present aeason, but we
think the figures rather too high.
There arrived yesterday from the West, at
Hoboken, in a new patent car made in Newark,
sixteen dressed steers and twenty-two sheep,
slaughtered in Obio. They had been four days on
the route, and were quite fresh and sound on their
arrival. The car is similar, generally, to an or?
dinary freight car, but it has double walls three
inches apart, filled in with cork. At each end,
near the top of 'the car, is a chamber for holding
ice. In fact, the car is an ice-house on wheels
Its average temperature is forty-five degrees
The invention may be the pioneer toward remov?
ing slaughter-houses beyond the city limits
'the synod of the diocese of Adelaide, South
Australia, has taken a practical step toward the
assertion of its independence of the Established
Church of England, and toward its self-govern?
ment as an Episcopalian Church. At a special
meeting it formally resolved, "That it is not de?
sirable that all bishops in british colonies should
receive their mission from the see of Canterbury,
and take the oath of canonical obedience to the
archbishop. ' This resolution was carried by
twenty-four to seven. By another resolution it
was decided, by eighteen to seven, that it was de
strahle that future bishops of the diocese should
be elected by the church of the diocese.
The services rendered to maritime commerco by
WILLIAM MITCHELL, of London, have been deem?
ed worthy of recognition by the Crown, and the
honor of kuigthood has been conferred upon him.
The services rendered by Mr. MITCHELL in the es?
tablishment of "The Commercial Codo of Signals
for the use of all Nations" are among the most re?
cent, if not the moat useful, or his labors. After
several years of labor and outlay, it is now adopt?
ed, to the exclusion of every other code, by France,
Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, Greeoe, Italy,
Austria, Prussia, Spain and Portugal It has been
* more or less in use in American ships for several
years, but the war prevented its general adoption.
The idea of the Bank of England first originated
with Mr. WILLIAM PATTERSON, merchant of Lon?
don, who readily saw that the Government, which
had been paying interest at the rate of from 20 to
40 per cent, per annum, would, without much hesi?
tation, grant exclusive and almost unlimited
privileges to such parties as would in turn furnia h
it with a fixed and permanent loan at a reasonab le
rate of interest. The plan being brought to the
attention of the King, was submitted to the Privy
Council, when the details were made, and the mat?
ter submitted to the Parliament. The scheme
met with great opposition, but still the bill waa
carried by the Government, and on the 25th of
April, 1664, became a law.
Uho people of Java have rather a lively time of
it. According to the latest official statistics con?
tained in the Tjd?chrifl vor Nederlandich Java, the
tiger has, in one singlo year, consumed exactly
ono hundred and forty eight human beings, and in
another year one hundred and thirty-one. The
crocodiles cleared an average of fifty people a
year, while serpents accounted for between twen?
ty-two and forty-three. But the Dutch seem to
accept their fate with characteristic.equanimity.
The Governor-General, a long while ago, offered
u a prize for every tiger that was killed the mu?
nificent sum of twenty-two guilders ($10). His
subjects apparently prefer being eaten by the
tig".
CURRENT TOPICS.
JEREMIAH DAT, D. D., LL.D., died at his res?
idence in New Haven, Connecticut, on Thursday
night, at the advanced age of ninety-four years
and nineteen days. Tho deceased was a nativo of
New Preston, Connecticut, where ho was born on
tho 3d of August, 1773. In 1789 he entered Ynlo
College, but was unablo to go through tho clans
to which ho was attached, in consequence ol' feoblo
health. As soon as he recovorcd, however, ho re?
turned to tho College and resumed his studies,
graduating with high honor in 1795. Duriug thc
same year ho was tendered tho position of teacher
in a school at Greenfield, which ho accopted and
hold for about twelve months, when he was elected
a tutor in William's Colloge. In 1798, Dr. DAY
became one of the tutors at Yale, and soon after
began to preach as a candidate for ministerial
orders, the profession of theology having been
chosen by him. His intentions were, however,
changed in 1801, when ho was elected to tho pro?
fessorship of mathematics ana natural philosophy
in Yale. In 1817 he was elected to the Presidency
of tho College, to fill tho vacancy cansod by the
death of President DWIGHT, and continued with
marked success in the discharge of the duties
appertaining to that high position until 1846,
when feebleness of health impelled bim to resign.
Under his presidency Yale prospered greatly, and,
indeed, it has been asserted that that venerablo
institution was never moro successfully conducted
by its other able presidents. As a mathemati?
cian the deceased held a very distinguished rank.
Among his many works were his well known "Al?
gebra," published in 1814, and improved and ox
tended in 1852; tho " Mensuration of Superficca
and Solids," in 1814, and " Navigation and Sur?
veying," in 1817. All of these works passed
through numerous editions, and are generally re?
garded as standard works. The private character
of Dr. DAT was pure and faultless. Ho was a most
kind-hearted and charitable gentleman, of urbane
manners and amiable disposition. These quali?
ties united with his great leaning and talents, ren?
dered him very popular with all who knew him.
Ever since his retirement from Yale ho had been
residing in New Haven, respected and esteemed
by the entire community. For some weeks past
he had been ailing, and by reason of his great
age his death was hourly expected. As a telegram
from New Haven announces, tho funoral of the
lamented and venerable gentleman will take place
in that city on Monday next, the 26th inst., .at
half-past two P. M.
DIRECTOR DELMAR, of the Bureau of Statistics,
has caused to be compiled an abstract of the re?
ports of the examination of vessels having on
board passengers, other than cabin passengers,
whioh arrived at the port of New York daring the
month of July, 1867 ; from which it appears that
the total number of vessels examined was 62, of
which 38 were steamships and 24 sailing vessels.
The average length of the steamships' voyage was
13 days and 13 hours ; of the sailing vessels, 42
days and 5 hours. The total number of passen?
gers brought, 24,399*, of which 14,537 were males
and 9682 females; 20,273 were o>cr eight years of
age, and 4126 under eight years. Total number of
deaths, 54, of whioh 25 were males and 29 females ;
over eight years of age, 18; under, 36. The follow
ing vessels brought passengers in excess of the
number allowed by law. Anton Gunther, from
Bremen, allowed 232, brought 234; Etna, from
Liverpool, allowed 638, brought 704, (this
case was reported to the Collector for prosecu?
tion); the City of London, from Liveipool, was en?
titled to bring 860$, and brought 900; the Cuy of
Paris, from Liverpool, al lo we 1 to bring 742, and
brought 851$; bark Stella, from Bremen, allowed
311, brought 312; bark Aristides, from Bremen, al?
to ired 244, and brought 2464. The Antwerp ship
G. Baccarieck, which lost 18 passengers by bowel
diseases, caused by insufficient food and bad
water, and which had no surgeons on board, has
undergone official scrutiny. The whole course of
imrnigration returns bas lately been tho subject of
discussion between the Diroctor of tho Bureau of
Statistics and the Castle Garden authorities, and
in future greater light is expected to be thrown
upon this matter from New York.
IT IS WITH OPEN-AIR POLITICS as with open-air
sermons, sayB the Saturday Betievo, each in its
way is the dullest and flattest, the most monoto?
nous and least attractive of human utterances.
We sometimes are driven to suspect that intellect
and out-of-door speaking are irreconcilable. It
would seem to be on y among the lower creatures
that language is fitted for the open air. To roar
and bellow, and scream, and hiss, not to talk, IB
out-of-door language. The gift of human speech
is too delicate and refined in its connection with
thought to bo trusted to rude contact with the
natural elements. Even an accomplished orator,
when obliged to bellow, can think of nothing but
his voice ; and under such circumstances the only
end and object ol public speaking is simply un?
attainable. The man least accomplished in
mind and thought, and tho ari of persuasion,
is the best fitted for Hyde Park ; and both lo
ligion and politics are too sacred and important to
be thus debased. And this is tho real and solid
argument against open-air meetings for serious
objects; they tower the tone of social fife, and
tend to obscure its highest aims. It is therefore
lor the public good that wo should tako care,
though we cannot prohibit, at least not to promoto
and encourage, what is really a social evil. Among
savages, shorting and yelling for the mere sake of
noise ate legitimate, because natural, modes of
exercising such influence as barbarous folk are
?lone capable of appreciating. Sonio thinkers
tell us that a relapse into barbarism is, after al),
not a European impossibility; and one would think
that in Hyde Park we are but stepping backward
to what Zulus and Maoris may one day bo im?
proved out of.
BY A CABLE DIH PATCH from London, says the New
York Herald, of Saturday, dated yesterday ovon
ing, we have a report to the effect that the treaty
negotiations concluded between NAPOLEON and
FRANCIS JOSEPH at Salzburg, for the formation of
a South German Confederation, under the presi?
dency of Austria, have resulted in a "signal fail?
ure," and that the Bavarian Government has for?
warded a positive refusal in reply to the invitation
of their imperial majesties asking tho King to as?
sent to and join the Bund. Should this intelligence
prove correct, as is very probablo, NAPOLEON'S
prestige will have received another very damaging
blow before tho peoples, and the growing union
of the hereditary rulers by "divine right" will be
still moro firmly cemented thereby. It will have
been demonstrated that Bavaria, oven it assured
of the support both of Franco and Austria, dare
not ally herself as a reactionist against the over?
powering voice of North Germany, pronouncod in
favor of national progress as heralded and con?
ducted by BISMARCK toward a united Fatherland,
and that BONAPABTE cannot bond Europe to his
will, even if Ins vast army should be reinforced by
the reorganized legions of reconstructed Hun?
gary. Bavaria is placed in a dangerous position,
from which she cannot completely extricate her?
self except by a hearty endorsement of the Prus?
sian policy. Her hidden sympathy with Austria
cannot avail her any, and a prolonged hesitation
may end in converting her territory into a great
battle field, from which her crown may disappear.
FBAZEB'B MAGAZINE for August contains the fol?
lowing : A single example .'ill explain what things
are even now possible. A married lady, mother of
several children, living in entire harmony with her
husband, an amiable, easy gentleman, hears at
church an enthusiastic young preacher, and is en?
raptured by his eloquence. On her return home
she tells her husband how thoroughly tho preach?
er's words have como to her heart ; and she is
quite persuaded it would conduce to her spiritual
perfection to be married to him ; and if sho can
get his consent she hopes that her husband will
not oppose a divorce. Whp.t amount of urgency
sufficed to disgust the husl anu into agroement is
not a public fact. No man can like to feel that ho
is keeping a wifo against her will, and to bo re?
proached with hindering her spiritual improve?
ment. That tho husband did consent, and that
the Court thereupon did without further inquiry
sanction tho divorce, is a public fact ; also, that
the preacher made no difficulty about accepting
the enthusiastic lady, with her dowry and children.
We have since heard, but from one informant only,
that, after many years of union, the preacher in
tarn sought and gained a divorce from his wile,
and that sho is now gone back to her first hus?
band.
THE JOHBNAL of the Royal Statistical Office at
Berlin gives the first official report that has been
published of the losses of tho Prussian anny in
the last war. According to this report, the
effective strongth of tho army brouRht into the
field by Prussia and her allies was 437,202 men
(including 129 Generals and 89G4 officers) and
110,192 horses. Tho total number of tho wounded
was 669 officers and 15,508 men; of those who re?
mained on the field, 178 officers and 2753 men; of
those who died of their wounds, C4 officers and
1435 men; and of those who died of illness con?
tracted during the campaign, 53 officers and 6783
men. The total loss amounts to 315 officers,
10,562 men, and C490 horses. The number of offi?
cers wounded was relatively twice as great as that
of the private soldiers.

time, ALL KINDS OF JOB WORK, and we
most respectfully ask the patronage of our
friends.
THE TWO GREAT POWERS OP THE
FUTURE.
This is the title of two carefully written
leaders, recently published in tho Round Table.
The two great powers are, of course, Russia
and the United States. The writer draws a
picture of the future greatness of Russia, over?
shadowing, if not incorporating, all the other
powers of the East; such as ALEXANDER of
Macedon, in his wildest dreams of universal
empire, never aspired to. This may or may
not come to pass; either event a matter of min?
or importance to us. But it is otherwise in re?
gard to the speculations of the writer concern?
ing the future of this Continent. These affect
us very nearly, and we therefore propose to
present the substance of them for thc benefit
of our readers. The prophecy opens with tho
following preface: "In the observations wo
purpose to offer on the future of America, we j
desire it to be understood that we are rather
predicting what we believe to be inevitable J
than defending what we still as thoroughly be?
lieve to be, on every principle of justice and J
benevolence, defensible and even laudable. I
What we arc about to say will be at variance J
with much of the constitutional bunkum of ton I
years ago; it will give shape and utterance to j
the unformed ideas of the popular mind to-day;
a few years hence it will have been developed
from conviction into practical resolve; and men I
are DOW born who will live to see the greater I
portion of it an accomplished fact."
He next proceeds to break ground by prov-1
ing the worthlessness of paper constitutions, j
uot that he thinks so himself, but such the
issue of our late war has proved it. j
"Ten years ago," he says, "men talked about j
the constitution of this country in a strain
which seemed to make it of considerably great- j
er efficacy than God's constitution of the world. I
Before it human passions were to sink into the I :
J calm of peace and moderation. Foreign pow- J
ers, abashed before its wisdom, were gradually J
to copy Us provisions and rejoice-with envy, I
it is true, but still with great joy-in the light I,
of its instructions. We ourselves were to go I,
on and grow, no doubt, but always in the same I,
way; adding from time to time new territory I,
to our area, but always cutting up our territo- I j
ries into States and giving them ane<iual share I !
in the affairs of government. The Constitu-1
tion recognized no other method of growth. I
To us alone among nations conquest was im
possible; for in the Constitution there was no j
provision for maintaining government in con I.
quered countries, and if territories were at any I '
time annexed, their denizens became at once
not subjects but citizens of the United States. J ?
In all our national affairs it was assumed as an I.
axiom that neither individual States nor the I <
Federal Government either could or would do
anything for which the Constitution does not
make express provision. Thus the Constitu
tion was regarded as a second Janus, looking
two ways at a time; by its express provisions
limiting, commanding, or forbidding; and by I
its mere silence checking States and Federal
Government alike whenever, in some new con- J
dition of affairs, some action or some policy not I
contemplated by thc Constitution should bc
come expedient. The war has taught us many I
things; but the most pregnant lesson it has
taught, us is thc absolute worthlessness of pa- <
per constitutions in restraining thc wild bursts
of human passion, and that they are hui ns
straw before the wind when they contend I
against inevitable destiny. Tho Constitution I j
gavo no power to States to separate from the
confederation, aud we laughed at the idea of
secession. Yet eleven States seceded. The
Constitution gave no right to Congress to coerce j
a State while in the Union, and as little right
to conquer it if out. Yet we did coerce and )
conquer the Confederate States. The Consti?
tution did expressly forbid imprisonment with- I
out a speedy jury trial. Yet at tho tinkle of a
telegraphic bell in Mr. SK WA RD'S office prisons
were filled up with multitudes of prisoners
charged with no offence-some of them merely I
suspects d'?tre suspect?s-and this without a I
shadow or pretence of legal constitutional re- I
gularity. Wc yield to none in reverence for the J
Constitution of our country. We deprecate the
ill-regulated self-conceit that would tamper j
with its sacredness by grafting upon it some
crude fancy in the shape of an amendment.
But experience has taught us that a constitu?
tion framed for quiet days of peace cannot re-1
strain men's passions nor their actions at a time
nf revolution or of civil war. As little can it
stand against the nation's appointed destiny.
And, happily, our Constitution, although it
does not contemplate nor make provision for
necessities which lie in the future, interposes J
no express provision which need hinder us
when such necessities arise, lt was not in- j
tended to lo that, lt was intended to define
the functions of thc government of a republic.
It was not intended to restrain the action of
the people when the commonwealth should, in
the order of Providence, be called to sway an
EMPIRE. This contingency is near at Ininti.
We need no change in thc Constitution to en- 1
able us to meet it with becoming energy and J
dignity. But we must remember that the
silence of the Constitution on a matter which <
its framers could not have foreseen, and for t
which they had no right to legislate, is not to
be considered ns a bar to our free action, lt is
our affair. Ours is the duty. The responsi?
bility is ours, and the silence of the dead is no
law for thc conscience of the living." * * * j
..The foreign immigration, added to the natu- <
ral increase of our population, will in 1900 I <
have increased our population to 100,000,000." 1
He next proceeds to show the inevitable ne- t
cessity of the annexation of Canada to the j J
United States, from which no difficulty is ap- j
prehended. It is a mere question. Homo- 1
geneous in race, in language, in manners and \
customs, of equal intelligence, and long trained j
moreover in the practice of self-gove- * ll
there is no reason whatever to apprehend ?nj \
soriotts disturbance of the federative system 1
from such an accession.
lt is otherwise, when thc Spanish American
countries came up for consideration. These
will be conquered, ami held in military occupa?
tion. " What these people need is to be gov?
erned," says the writer, "Govern themselves \?
they cannot. Unless then they aro to be left \
an insult to the eye, and a grim parody and f
caricature of republican institutions, lhere c
must be: an empire over them-an empire c
strong enough to rule them with a rod of sleet if *
need be; wide enough to educate and train
hem for a century or two, till their carnivo?
rous instincts have been somewhat mollified
>y compulsory habit, und benevolent enough
o recognize in its superior power and wis
loui both a mission tor humanity and a re
.ponsibility to God." * * ?
" The murderers of MAXIMILIAN will not bc
ong in giving us a just cause of offence. Our
roops will march again to Mexico, as they
liave done before, but they will not quit
Mexico. We shall establish there a govern?
ment of law to give the inoffensive peace, a
government of progress that shall give the
enlightened-if there be suah-hope. We
shall not establish a mere mili* ury despotism
looking only to its own security and gain.
We shall at least try whether Mexicans are
capable of being trained to govern themselves.
Their sham attempt at nationality, of course,
must disappear. Their factitious and fictitious
states will be no more than what they have
always hitherto been, convenient geographical
designations. But the system which prepared
the Anglo-Saxon people to become what wo
are, we shall, doubtless, give them. Men who
are incapable of ruling states and nations may
perhaps succeed, with proper aid, in the
administration of less difficult affairs. It is in
the local commune and in the civic municipalit
that Mexicans must learn to govern. In
century or two they may be fit for something
greater, but for a considerable time they will
require more than a little help even in them.
Such help they can only hope to have from
ourselves, and they are quite sure to
it before long whether they hope for
or not."
But not even this is enough. Central America
and Yucatan must be brought in next. South
America even must be ours ultimately-inter?
vention first, occupation next, and at last incor?
poration.
The writer concludes: "So far as we can
now see with the lights before us, the advance
of Christian progress and enlightenment de?
pend throughout almost the whole eastern
hemisphere upon imperial Russia. It seems
no less evident that we are destined to fulfill
the same great mission in the western hemis?
phere. And if we but accept the mission,
banishing alike the impulse of ambitious greed
and the vain pride that apes humility ; aban?
doning mere theories of constitutional forms,
that suit ourselves and ought to be preserved
among us, while they do not answer the neces?
sities of other races ; and resolving calmly and
resolutely to advance the influences of enligh?
tened Christian civilization among the weaker
and less-favored peoples of this continent, we
shall deserve, on moral grounds, as well as on
account of our colossal power, to be described
as THE GREAT POWER OF THE WESTERN
HEMISPHERE."
It is sad to think that an American of the
better class can give utterance to auch views,
even in the form of impassive prophecy, with?
out a shudder. Who could have anticipated
all this ten years ago ? Conquest and military
rule have become so familiarized to the Ameri?
can mind that what would have been abhor?
red five years ago, is now placidly contempla?
ted as an inevitable necessity. Has the experi?
ment of British rule in India and in Ireland,
and of Russian sway in Poland, such fascinating
rharnis, that we needs must yearn for a repeti?
tion of such relations on our own Continent ?
And what is to be thc status of the Southern
States in this graid programme ? Not one
word is said in this long article, of the South,
