From Um Otlujr.
THE 8T0RY OF A MUTINY.
It was during the earlier days of th«
Army of the Potomac—If I mistake not,
shortly after McClellan had ut down to
the siege of Yorktown—and before that
army had received that haptism of lire and
blood, and had (rained that terrible disci
pline in the soldier'a ilaty, which the cam
paigns of the next three year* brought it,
that one of its infantry regiment* openly
mutinied. ()f oourae, that regiment was
not without its grievance; even the worst
of soldiers (and thow were ">y no means
stieh) never undertake to rerolt ngainst
disipline and to defy onfers withont cause
for complaint The regiment in question
although less than six months under arms
and never j et under fire, had performed
difficult and arduous service. Both be
fore Yorktown ami elsewhere, these men
had patientlv and faithfully done their
part; they had marehed through long
night* over muddy roads when sleep over
took them in the ranks while they wearily
plodded on; they had bivouacked on the
cold ground, shelterless and without fire;
and they had uniuurinuringly laid aside
the musket and toiled in the trenches un
der soaking rains. Yet all this time they
had n«>t received a cent of pay ; and cloth
ing was scantily and tarddy furnished
them.
Why it was, I never exactly learned ;
but those who were in the volunteer ser
vice can readily understand how careless
and inconi|wtent officers luav cause such
injustice as this to bnive and deserving
men. For months thev had submitted to
this cruel neglect, while the other regi
ments of the brigade had been paid and
clad with comparative promptness; and
the respectful representations thev had
from time to time forwarded to their reg
imental commander hail produced no re
sults. At first loud and bitter complaints
were heard from theiu; then, as time |m»
Mt and their condition was not bettered,
a silence suceceded which the officers
should have seen was ominous of a des
perate purpose. That purpose w;ts reached
without the knowledge of an officer or an
orderly sergeant; excepting these, it had
the assent of every man present with the
regiment. Mutiny was their determina
tion; and the ringleader waited a few days
for an occasion to make their action |>er
fectly effectual.
The occasion came; just the one that
had Ut'ii anticipated 1411«I desired. The
regiment was not at the time on duty in
the trenches; its lalnirs had entitled it to a
m»t, ami it hatl been drawn back to an
open spot some distance from the lino of
the brigade. It lay in the prescribed form
of infantry encampment—canvass Tillage
* Ith ten streets, each bound**! by a row
of tents on either side, and the parndo
Cmnd directly in front. l>ress-parade
I been held for several evenings; and
on that preceding the morning of the mu
tiny the arms were left stacked in rvgi
mental line, with a guard over theiu.
This was probably In obedience to general
orders to the whole command, and intend
ed as a precaution to insure readiness in
case of a sally by the enemy. After the |
retreat had sounded that night, the order |
was communicated to each company that
the arms wen* to he taken after reveille
roll-call thw following morning; and in
the silenue of the night «>ther orders were
secretly oommunicated to the men by the
ringleaders, and the mutiny was ripe.
The night pissed, and with the gray
tlawn the shriek and rattle of roveille re
sounded successively from the camps of
a hundred regiments, and the drum-corps
of this one speedily aroused it from slum
ber. The officers, hardly awake, heard
the confusion, the buzzing and humming
caused by the calling of the names of
llrown. Jones and Robinson. and the rest,
by the orderlies; and then the mingled
command from ten throats :
Take—arms P
A pause, a silence fo!low«<d ; then ang
ry and vehement expostulation; but no
rattle or crash such as the taking of arms
from the stack causes. The command
was related and reiterated, with moru
ex|xistulatiou; aud next the commandant
of each oom|*tny was visited by the vexed
scared face of his sergeant, and the start
ling information that tin* company would
not take arms. Sxne of the officers re
ceived t ho intelligence with incredulity;
some gave vent to their vexation, and un
justly upbraided th* poor orderlies; but
all finally put on their swords and re
paired to tne scene of mutiny, with sub
stantially the same remark : 'We'll see If
they won't tike arms for mc.'
They did see; and they quickly assure*!
themselves that the men would not put
forth n hand in obedience to this particu
lar order.
'Attention F shouted the captain of the
first compauy; and every man promptly
came to position.
'Take—arms F Not a hand stirred.
'Right—faceF Tli® command was in
stantly obeyed.
•KrontF The company carno back to
line with boautifui precision.
•Take—arms!' Hut not n hand answer
ed the words, though Captain M— vo
ciferate*! them to the full compass of his
powerful has*.
So in every company the men prompt-1
ly obeyed every order but this one; and
that, not one man obeyed. Nt4 a won I.
not even a defiant look accompanied their
disobedience; they simply stood like so
many statues and moved not a muscle in
answer to the command. The captains
thn*atened. begged, and some swore; and
neither their anger nor their humility hail
the least effis-t upon those seven hundred
determined men.
After half an hour of unavailing effort,
despairing of accomplishing anything
themselves, the coiuiiiaodmits repaired to
the colonel's tent, aud astounded hiiu with
the news that his regiment %»as In open
mntiny. He listened with angry Impa
tience' to the particulars they gave him,
and then hastened to buckle on bis
swonl.
•Come with iue,' he Mid. 'By heavens.
I doal think they'll fail to 0U7 when I
pre them the order.'
He was mistaken; m much so m the
captains had b*<en before him. The lino
stood motionless behind the stacks when
he reached the jiarade; ami ordering the
(Jllwr* U» take their places, he took hi*
own in front of tb«» c*ntro. Drawing his
swonl. he shontert in the voice that no
man in the regiment hart over yet disre
garded :
"Take—armsT And still not a man
obevwl.
T*he colonel was profoundly excited:
more so than he had been since he had
dropped his plough-hand lei ami mounted
ooe of Uim plough-hones to raise his regi
ment. on bmring of the President's proc
lamation. He began by larking the
(ring-loorters to step out and inform hint of(
the object of this mutiny. The ring-lead- \
ers wisely remained in their place* in the
ranks; but half a doscn voices, in which<
n<» intliriiluAl voice was distinguishable,
cried out:—
•We want pay and clothing, like tho
other nfgiment*.'
'You shall hare both.' the colonel ea
gerly responded. 'Oulv take arras and
return to jour duty, and I will immedi
ately represent your grievances at head
quarters.'
A tumult of answering cries followed
his words, uttered in anger, dorision, and
incredulity. 'It's all work and no pay
with us.' 'Wo're the rngged scarecrows
of the brigade.' 'We're heard that story
before.' 'Tell that to the marines.' '.No
pay, no muskets.'
•Attention!' shouted the oolonel; and
the regiment instantly came back to si
lence and position.
Thereupon tho colonel made an earnest
and imnaasionato harangue of fifteen min
utes, while dozens of curious spectators
from tho neighboring regiments stood
about viewing the extraordinary scene.
He promised the men that he would givo
his personal attention to their grievances
until they were redressed; he represented
to them that their mutiny would certain
lv be ineffectual for the purfKMes
they sought; and he begged
them to wive the good name of tho regi
ment fr«>m the disgrace with which their
disoliedience threatened it. Hardly doubt
ing that his address would produce the de
sired effect, he ooucluded it with the repe
tition of the command—
'Take—arm.*/1
Each nnd all stood like a rock; and
not a single hand moved toward tho mus
kets.
The mutiny was becoming serious.
more titan an hour tho entire regiment
had slublmrnly refused to resume their
nrtm, and tho persuasion and authority
m well of the commanding oftlcer as of
the line had fallen i<lty u|m>d their ears.
The excited colonel ordered, 'Break
ranks,' which was quietly obeyed; am!
calling for his horse, be rode off on a pal
lop to briga«le headquarters.
Our brigadier had come from tho regu
lar cavalry to aceejrt his command in the
volunteers; ami he was one of tho best
disciplinarian* thai West l'oint ever gave
to the army. IIo was much past tho
middlo ago, and had soon arduous sorviee
in Moxioo and thu West, lie was a man
of medium height, or perhaps something
aUtve it, with hair dashed with gray,
sandy whiskers and moustache, a mas
sire forehead, and face with the wrinkles
of service, and bushy eyebrows, over
hanging a |«iir of koeu. incisive eyes.
His presence was habitually stern, some
what forbidding; the habitual expression
of his f:tce was ono of determination.
Yet he had one of the kindest of hearts,
and his command invariably learned, be
fore ho had done with them, that their
comfort and safety were at all times the
objects of his anxious solicitude. He
was far braver than generals are apt to
be; when bis troops went into battle ho
was always upon the line with them ox*
posed to the Are; and not Sheridan him
self was more careless of personal dan
ger. more reckless of bullets, at 0|>c<juan
ami Co<)ar Creek, than was this man.
His troops of course loved him—when
thev knew him.
lie listened to tho storv of tho colonel
this morning with uvident displeasure,
which found ex(>ression in a few words
which were more forcible than elegant;
but I venture to say that no officer in tho
armies would have said loss under tho
circumstances. Ho listened attentively
to the tletails of tho mutiny as the colonel
gave them, and when tho latter had fin
ished, he said:
•Thoy won't take arms—oh ?'
'No, sir, they won't. Any order they'll
obev, but not that.'
•Well, sir, arc any of your officers in
this business?'
•Not one, General, nor any of tho or
detlies,' was the eager reply.
•Return to your camp, sir/ ho said,
•and assemble your offioen in front of
your teut. I'll "be there in a few mo
ment*.'
The colonel rode away. not very easy
in mind, and wondering what was about
to happen. The general ordered his horse
and called in his aids.
•Get up your horses immediately. Cap
tain , ride over to Captain ; give
him my compliments, and tell him to
bring a section cf his artillery to the
camp of the Ontonapan Infantry—im
mediately! Lieutenant , hasten to Col
onel and Colonel (com ir and i ng
regiment* of the brigade), and tell them,
with my compliments' to march their
command*, under arms, to the same
place. You will accom|iwny them there.'
A few moments later the men of the
rebellious regiment, gathered into knots
in the company streets and about the pa
rade, and conferring in whispers together,
saw the general followed by a single or
derly, ride through tho camp back to tho
colouel's tent. Some of them saw from
a distance that the officers were formed
in a single lino in front of tho tent, with
the Held officers on the right, tho captain
next, and the lieutenant* on the loft.
The general dismounted, and biking a
brief survey of tho faces before hint, he
turned to the colonel.
'Sir,1 he said sternly, 'do you refuso to
perform duty ?'
•No, sir!' was the emphatic reply.
He turned to the line, and passingdown
it. addressed tho same question to each
officer, beginning with tho lieutonantK'ol
onel and ending with the last subaltern.
One and all unhesitatingly gave tho samo
response as the colonel.
'Now, sir,' said the general to the lat
ter. 'get your men in line. Ill quell this
out-break in ten minute*.'
And then ho added tho same remark
that tho officers of the regiment had tnado:
•Wo shall s««e if they'll <Usoboy me.'
The assembly wm sounded. The com
panies formal in their streets, and were
marched to their places in line behind the
stacks. The faces of the men were grave
nn<! serious, hut generally showed no
abatement of purpose. That purjmse
was, it afterward confessed. not to resume
their arms until the paymaster and the
quartermaster should have actually visited
them ami given them their dues of pay
and clothing. But in many of these faces
there was anxiety as well as determination
visible, and all, officers and men. awaited
the general's proceedings with such feel
ings as had never before been there.
They had not long to wait. Two regi
ments of the brigade raarehod upon the
ground, and under the direction of the
aides were foimed in a long line, facing
tho mutineers, at sltouldored arms, jwr
haps seventy yards distant. Captain ,
with two pieces of artillery, camo up he
fore the formation was finished, and bv
similar direction one picoe was post oil
upon each flank of the line in such a man
ner as to enfilade an entire wing of the
mutineers.
For half a minute after them ominous
dispositions there waa an awfhl silence.
It was broken by tho voice of the genural
in the stern command:
'Load."
The long line of muskets went to the
> ground with a shook, and the ringing of
rammers in the barrels, and .tho thumcing
in the bore of the cannon, tent a thrill
to the nerves of those who looked and
listened.
'Load with grnpe.1 was the oommand to
i the artillery. Then followed the orders':
•Reaily !-Aim!'
The nspoct of the scene when the gen
eral rode Mwwn the lines, pausing ,ln
the centre and facing the mutineers, was
such as might well bare carried appre
hension to the stoutest heart. At least one
thousand bright musket barrels were
levelled, ready for the word that would
hurl their deadly contents into the breasts
before them, while upon either dank was
a field-piece charged with grape, the gun
ner standing lanyard in hand, only wait
ing for the word to belch out destruction
upon the misguided men. • .
'Let the officers retire behind the brig
ade line,' tho general commanded.
They did so,
•Men of the regiment.' be said, in
stentorian tones, 'listen to me! I shall not
stop now to inquire why you have dis
graced yourself and the command this
morning* by disobedience to yous officers.
I shall merely give you one order. If you
obev, woll; if not—you will have no oth
er cWice. In that case, I shall move to
the rear of the brigade, and then—bv the
living God, I will blow every man of you
to destruction!'
lie looked tho threat, as well as ntlercd
it; and then in a voice of thunder, be gavo
the command:
•Take—Akms!'
It was done on tbe instant, is over uiu
the regiment exccuto that order in tetter
time; the stacks were btoken, and the
mutineers, fairly frightened out of their
follv. again stood with shouldered arm.
'lvhe whole command was brought to an
order; and the general, speaking .with
difficulty from the emotions of the moment^
addressed the regiment with such kindness
at brought tears to the eyes of m*llv * a
tall soldier. Ho briefly pointed out to
them the magnitude of thoir act as a mil
itary offence, and made them understand
that*mutiny in any army can never result
in anything but discredit, or w&rse, to
those who undertake it; and h'e reminded
them that the cause in which all were eh
p*g»«d was most injured by such acts of
insubordination. Their causes of com
plaint were just, he said, and If their offi
cers were in faulj they shvujd bo punished
for it. 'Full justice shall be done you,
ami speedily,' he said; 'but in the future,
never let me hear from you in this way.
There are other and better ways to correct
evils in the rank* than this.'
lie left the ground with the respect and
affection of every man thero; but his in
terview with thoofficer*. which immo<t!ato
lv followed, was of n'tfiffcrent character.
Addressing himself to all, but more par
ticularly to the colonel, ho gave them
excoriating lecture upon their carelessness
and gross neglect of the interest* of their
men.
'I should I* glad to think,' he conclud*
ed, 'that none of you are troubled with In
competency as well as carelessness. You
are all of you to blame in this matter;
nothing of this kind ever happens unless
the officers are in fault.- And I give you
distinctly to understand that If anything
of this sort over occurs hero again. I'll
court-martial even* one of you.'
lie never had occasion to execute the
threat.
Tho regiment was paid up and elothed
within a week; and from this time for
ward every man and every officer of it
made it his particular duty to efface tho
stigma cast upon the regiment by this
affair. That tliey succeeded, the records
of the arduous cam|>aigns and bloody bat
tle* in which It boro a heroic part, and
which are written in tho history of their
country, will attest.

King William's Fast Proclamation.
The following is the model proclama

which the enblo pivo us information a
fortnight or more sineo :
"I am compelled tn draw tho sworn 10
ward off a wanton attack, with all the
forces at Germany's disposal. It U a groat
consolation to mo before God and man
that I hare in no way given a pretext for
It. My conscience acauits nia of having
provoked this war, anu I am certain of the
righteousness of our cause in the light of
God. The struggle before us is serious,
and it will demand heavy sacrifices from
niv puoplo, and from all Germany. But
I go forth to it looking to the Omniscient
God and imploring Ills Almighty support.
I have already causo to thank God tnat on
the first news of the war one only feeling
animated all Gorman hearts and pro
claimed aloud the indignation felt at the
attiick, and the joyful confidence that God
will bestow victorv on the righteous
cause. My people will nlso stand by me
in this struggle as they stood by my f»th
or, wbonow rata witn God. They will
with me, make all sacrifices to conquer
peace again for the nations. From my
youth upwards I have learnt to believe
that all depends upon the help of a gra
cious God. In him is my trust, and I beg
my pooplo to trust In the same assur
rance. I bow myself before God in ao
knowledgement of Ills mercy and I am
sure Uiat my subjects and fellow country
men do so with mo. Therefore I decree
that Wednesday, the ?7th of July, shall
be set apart for an extraordinary solemn
day of praver, and divine service in all
our churches, with abstention from all
public occupations and labor so far as may
oomport with the pressing necessities of
this time. I also decree that while tho
war lasts prayers shall be offered la all
divino services, that in this straggle God
may lead us to rictuiy, that Ho may giro
us grace to hear ourselves u Christian
mfn even nnto our enemies, and that it
may please Him to allow us to obtain a
iMting peace, founded on the honor and
independence of Germany.

The Paperleu Man.
* BT STLVANUS OOBB, J*.
•No, sir! I don't want noth'n o' the
kind. In the first place. I ha'n't got the
money; and in the next place, if 1 had
the money, I wouldn't hare none o' your
papers.'
So spoke Tfcni Closely, in answer to
a man who had called to see If be would
subscribe for a newspaper. Said man
kept a store In the neighboring Tillage,
ana was also the postmaster; and he had
1 made arrangements to adc\ to his busi
ness by establishing a newspaper agency.
•I can furnish you with any paper yon
may like,* he explainod to Mr. Closely,
•And I can furnish it chenpor than you can
get It any other way, bocnuse by buying
of me you will savo the postage. I shall
havo pa|>ers devoted to the interests of
the Family; papers for the Farmers;
papers for the Mechanlo; find papers for
both old and young; and, In short, I may
assure you that any one of them would
bo worth far more to you than I propose
Co ask. Ask vour wire what she thinks.
You have noldea what a vast amount of
valnublo In fin mation you will find.
Nancy Closelv wanted a paper; but
her husband said—
bother! I don't want it, I tell ye,
I'vo got as much as I can do to look af
* ter my farm; and, if N»ncy and tho chil
dren want to read, they can get tracts of
the minister.'
'Your neighbor, Deepwater, has sub
scribed for two papers, said the agent.
•He takes a pleasant, high-toned literary
paper for his family, and a paper devoted
to Art* Science, and Agriculture for him
self.'
'The more fool ho! crlod Titus Cloaelv
contemptuously. John Deepwater can't
nffonl It no more'n I cnn. My farru'a
biggor And better'n hia is; and I tell yo,
flat ftn' aquare, 'at I ha'n't got no three
dollars to throw away for n newspaper.'
•But—Titus—*
'Shut up, Nanoy! I tell yo, I don't
want It.1
And Nancy closod hor lips, and tho
agent went his way; and Titili Closoly
went forth to plow his ground with the
, great old woodon plow which hia father
bla grandfather had nae<l before him.
^ An<l tune pasom! on. The newapaper
•agency was cstabllsed at the Tillage post
office; but Titus did not natronire it. He
(bit that he had a principle at stake. He
•had said be wouldn't—and he wouldn't!
Bat in ««rv thing he was consistent; he
would not allow his wife or children to
bcrrow paimrs of hia neighbor Deepwa
t4Mf.be knew It.
* One evening Tltua Closely and hia wife
took'tAa, by Invitation, with neighbor
Deepwater.
Tdeclarc, Nancy,' mid Tftna, on their
war* home, 'ftiideneo Deep water beat*
all creation tbr cooking, don't aheP I'd
no id«a she was auch a bund at it. 1
wonder where ahe got them fresh atraw
berriea.'
•She preserved thom herself,' anawer
ed Nancy.
•O—git out! Them wasn't presarved—
tbev waa as fr«sh as now-picked,'
•It is tho way they were fixed, Titus.1
•Eh! can you do It?'
•I could if I had her paper.'
•Her paper?'
•Yea. She found her recipo in the
new/»j*t|»er. And that's whore ahu learn
ed to do most all of her nice cooking.'
Titus changed tho aubjoct of conversa
tion.
Autumn came, and tho Ap-ieultural
Fair was held in an at^oining town.
Titus went over with a yoke of what ho
considered very fine oxen; but ho found
when the exhibition came off, that ho
was very far behind tho times. Now
breeds, of which he hail know nothing,
had lx»cn Introduced, nnd his own animala
wen* not deemod worthv of notlco.
•Whew!' whiatled Tltua, as he aat In
hia kitchen, with a crumpled report of
the Awarding Committees in his hand.
A friend had given him the printed doca
mont. '.John Deepwater has got tho pre
mium for ahocn. By hookey! I'll bet I
clip more wool'n ho doc* next season.'
•Because you've got more sheep, sug
gest^ Nancy. 'But wait and aoe. The
breed whlch'ho has procured is a very
valuable one.'
•Huh! Think what it cost him: fifty dol
lars for a pa'r of them!'
'And,' mldocl Nancy, 'ho sold two of
his spring Iambs to * Mr. Thompson for
eighty dollars.'
'Gft oout !'
•Prudence told me so. John Deep wa
ter saw so many flattering accounts of
those sheep in his paper that he knew it
would be safe to invest.'
Titus referred again to the Report.
'Hello! I'm blessed if Polly Downer
hasn't got the first premium for cheese—
five dollars T
'Yes,' said Nancy. 'She was telling
me about her chooses. She found out
how to make theiu in her paper. I tell
y«, Titus, It's a good thing to have a good
newspaper. I wish you'd—'
'fiah ! Don't talk to me I' And Titus
throw down the Report, and retired from
the kitchen in disgust.
The winter |tassed ; and the spring's
work was dono; and the time for sheep
shearing came. Titus Closely sheared
ono hundred and fifty sheep, and obtained
therefrom not ouite 'six hundred pounds
of wool, being less than an average of four
pounds to the sheep.
'Titus, didn't I toll you that neighbor
Doepwater's sheep would prove by far the
most profitable P It cost no more to keep
one or his splendid animals than it (hies
U» keep one of ours. And then his lambs
are heavier; and his mutton is—"
'Stop yor gal), Nanoe I I know what
ye're pitch in at; It's one o ' them 'tarnal
(tapers! Let John Deepwater go it, if he
wants to. I*vo got more wool'n he has.
'And yon wintered more tnan twice as
many sheep m h« did.'
•Sfcet up ! will yeP'
Niiucy was silent. But the end was
not vet.
After the baying had boon done. Sir.
Deepwater ana bis wife called over and
took tea. and spent the evening with Titus
and Nancy.
In the course of conversation Prudenco
told to Naney many now things which
she had learned of noosehold mysteries,
while Mr. Doepwater talked to his host of
the peat Improvements which were being
made in agriculture. And Titus was in
ter ested in spite of himself, though he
tried to appear otherwise.
'Bv the way, Titus,'said John Doepwa
ter, late in tho evening, 'when you get
ready to sell your wool, I think I can reo
coiumond you to a good market.'
'Much obleegfd. John ; but I've sold.'
'Sold f To whom ?'
'To Saddler A Kydrr of Brink ton.'
'Did thrv come for ft P
♦Yes. (3ld Smller cmroe himself.'
•What did he wiy jouT
•Thirty cents.'
'Thirty—ccnts P—Thirty oents a pound 7
•Yes.'
'Goodness mercy, Titus! Yon did'nt
sell your whole clip at that price?'
•Y-e-s. Why?'
•W*y J—Why—wool, like your*. Is
worth fortv-trre cents; and I was author
ized by Mr. Fairman to offer tou that
price lor your clip. You must nave had
over fire hundred pounds ?'
•Yes,' said Titus, gaspingly, 'I sold flro
hundred and seventy.*'
•But—didn't you Know that wool has
risen in valueP'
•No, Mr. Saddler said thirty cent* was
all 'twas worth,'
•Mr. Saddler deceived you. But you
should have watched the Market Re|>orts.
Didn't you notice them in the paper P'
•I—I—dont take no paper.'
•I declare. '1 itus, I am sorry for you.
But it can't be helped now.'
Mr. Doonwater saw how badly his
friend was feeling, and he raid no more.
When the oompany hud gone, Tltns
Closely took down the old slate from its
neg by the side of the looking glass, and
ixynn to cipher. The difference between
thirty itnd forty-lire was fifteen; Mid fif
teen multiplied by fire hundred and »er
enty leave a product of eighty-fire dol
lars and fifty cents 1
On the following morning Titns Closely
wont to the villap* and subscribed for two
pci|>ers—one for nimsolf and ono for his
wire; and in time he came to regard tho
Newspaper as one of the greatest institu
tions of tho age.—N. Y. ledger.
The Times—The Propheoies.
Wo begin to believe in prophecj. There
is no dlupdsing the fact that the war in
Europe u beginning to partake more and
more of a religious character, and it look*
as if tho prophecy made M early as the
year 1650, wo believe, by the Rev. Mr.
Fletcher of England, is likely to be ful
filled to tho letter. Mr. Fletcher, who
wns well versed in Bible history, deliver*
ed a series of lectures on the prophecies,
in which he pointed oat tboee that had
been already fulfilled, and then predicted
what were yet to tako place, which so
for have boon fulfilled to tho letter. He
predicted tho French Revolution, which
occurred within a few months of the time
specified. He also predicted at that early
period that the next vial would be P°"r
e I out on the head of the Roman Catho
lic Church, and that it would commenoe
in the year 1S48. Singular as it may ap
poar the Pope fled from his subject* In
disguiso, and after his return ne was
maintained at Rome by French bayonets.
Ho had been captured and carried off bo
fore, but this was the first time he fled
from his subjects. As to the duration of
the fulfillment of tho prophecy writers
disagree, but that depends on the magni
tude of tho power to be despoiled. Some
writers havo fixed tho period at from SO
to SO years, and we believo that before 22
{'ears passes away from tb* beginning
n 1848, the Popo will bo entirely stripped
of his temporal power, and all tno nations
of tho earth that contributed to his power
will bo greatly weakened, leaving the
power of the Pope complotely neutralized
and the Church, in many instances, may
become an independent Statu affair.
Italy stnnds ready to wrest tho last ves
tige of temporal power from the Pope,
and probably piiiago Rome, if tho peo
1)1 e aro not restrained by Italian and Eng
Ish bayonets. Austria has abrogated the
Concordat with the Pone, and itis believ
ed that she will tirohibit the promulga
tion of tho Infallibility dogma in her do
minions. Spain ha* dethroned Quoen
Isabella, who was tho "Bride of the
Church," and declared In favor of fhne
doin in religion. Hungary is already ag
itating a separate and independent church.
Napoleon IlL is sick, and the Empress
Eugenia lias dispatched a special train
from Paris to bring home the "Imperial
Infant," to keep company with the Prince
of *he Asturias, the exiled son of Isabella
of Spain. Team may bo shed, but alas!
we are fearful ho will pick up no more
spent bullets on battle fields, by the side
of the Emperor.
Onr renders will recollect thnt in Uc
tober Inst wo wrote nn article on tho an
ticipated assembling of the Ecumenical
Council, from which we make the follow*
in# extracts :
"His tnn|x>rul power has gradually
dwindled down to a patch, tho extent of
which can bo vlowed from the donio of
St. rotor's—and with tho loss of hla tem
poral power, which is only a question of
a short time, ho becomes snipped of
mora than half of his spiritual power,
and he must gradually dcsccnd to tho
position of the Greek l'atriarch, who is
scarcely hoard of now in tho rollgious
world. As to tho time required for the
fulfillment of the propbecv from its com
mencement, writers on this subject dis
agree. Some predicted 1868—others fix
ed no definite time for its fulfillment, but
stated Unit it it might continue from twen
ty to thirty years, which added to 1848,
wonld give 1868 or 1878. It must be ev
ident to all our readors who have watch
ed the signs of the times, and the dis
cus.* ions that have already taken plaor.
throughout Europe with regard to it,
that the Council assembled will split the
Church into atoms, and this will ho fol
lowed by discussions, criminations and re
criminations, almost equal to that which
followed the Reformation inaugurated by
Martin Luther, which must lead to its
disintegration, and consequent loss of
powor and position."
The Council has assembled—the Infalli
bility dogma wu adopted after a great
struggle, and opposition biu been made to
it in almost overy knowu Catholic country
on the face of the globe. The criminations
nnd recriminations hare commenced. The
Pope's temporal power Is now at the mer
cy of Italy and England, and the dny may
not be far distant when the Pope may be
found protected under the flag of Protes
tant England, or that of the United States.
This is emphatically the age of the peo
ple. The curse of slavery and serfdom
has been abolished by the two most power
Ail nations on the face of the globe—Rus
sia and the United States. Despotism is
tooling In Austria, Spain and France.
LIWal Germany is being united into ooe
of ihe ruling powers of Europe, and the
people everwnors seem to be casting off
the shackles of slavery and despotism, all

crats In the United States, who ellng toall
kinds of slavenrand despotism as naturally
as they plundered the people when in
power.—Miner'* Journal.

Heretofore, (says the New York Dally
Globe.) men ambitious to hold seats In
Congress have regarded the pmfnMlon of

thing desired, The charge has often been
brought against tho present Congress that
It contains too many lawyers for the best
interests of the people. We believe It
may he said thai more prominent men in
both bouses of Congress have at some
time or other been editors or printers,
than membejs of any other profession.

Bees in August
Great care should be used this month
not to tempt bee* to robbing; leave no
honey where they can get at It, and do
not open hire* to expose the combs while
bee* are flying, for tab Is almost sure to
make trouble when hfpwy is scaroe in
flowers. See that all stocks are strong
and have a fertile queen.
Queenless swarms should be united to
one having a fertile queen or treated to
brimstone now, for If left to themselves
they must soon eithor be robbed or de
voured by worms. The same may be said
of all weak swarm*.
In this vicinity we hare bad a very
poor season fur bees, and I have several
r«port« from several other localities.
Here, black bees that have swarms as
well as the young swarms will most of
them, I foar, need more honey than they
will have to carry them through the win*
ter.
Italians have been more suocessftil. Not
only are their store oombs well fllled but
they have made a good surplus. Five
stocks in my yard have stored three hun
dred pounds of honey in boxes, an aver
age of sixty pounds each.
Buckwheat usually yields a large sup
ply of honey, and in sections where It is
cultivated is a great help to light swarins.
Although the bonoy obtained from it is of
inferior quality and not very saloable in
the market. It answers every purpose for
the bees In winter and as it Moorns aftrr
most other sources of honey aro gone,
would probably nay a large profit if sown
near apiaries, for its honey alone. So
profuse is the yield from this nlant that
the swarming fever is frequently revived
and swarms issue during its bloom.
J. II. C., of Temple Mills, asks about
the utility of so many dronos and how to
manage them. When a single colony is
isolated tkr from other been, as is frequent
ly the case, probably the great number of
drones would not lw objectionable, but
when sereral aro kept In one yard, usually
either has enough for the whole. The
drone is the male bee and the queen
leaves the hive to meet them in the air
for fecundation. At this time no eggs or
brood is left in the hive from which an
other queen can be raised, and her Iom
would be a total loss to the colony. Heooe
It is dosirable that she should make as
quick a trip as possible and not remain
long in the air exposed to the many
accidents that might Wall her. Drones
are great consumers and the leas there
aro more than is actually necessary, the
better. A strong colony will have some
drones in summer, but what they can
raise in a piece of comb as large as one's
band seems to satisfy them as wall as half
a hive fulL In moveable ootnb hives all
the drone comb can be removed but about
that amount and worker oomh fitted into
its place. This puts a stop to raising so
many drones, and the eoloev is made
much more prosperous thereby.—Maine

Imggage of the French Emperor, which
