Charily.
Wh»n you meet with one suspected
Of nom« secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
As » thlngof evil fame.
Guard thine everv look and action,
Speak no word ofheartless blame,
For the slanderer's rile detraction
Vet may soil thy goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have wandered in,
Workingottt his own undoing.
With his recklessness and sin,
Think, If placed in his condition.
Would a kind word be in vain ?
Or a look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again ?
There are spot" that, bear no flowers,
Not because the «oil is bad,
But the Summer's genial showers
Never mak« their bosoms glad,
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with disdain,
Than by judging others blindly,
Doom the iunocent to paia.
A Remuious Sensation in Eng
land .—A sensation in the religious
world—the consecration of the Ro
man Catholic Cardinal, as Arch
bishop of Westminster, (Cardinal
Wiseman's successor)—elicits vari
ous comments from the London jour
nals.' The Morning Post (a Gov
ernment organ) thinks :
That any one should be consecra
ted at all to such a See is significant
of an amount of toleration and for
bearance such as Roman Catholics
enjoy nowhere else in the world.
' There is not a country in Europe,
Romish or Protestant, where the
Pope would be suffered to nominate
an archbishop without the consent
«f the Government. In France or
Spain it would not be tolerated. In
America, where there is 110 law to
the contrary, a bishop or archbishop
may hold a See, call himself after its
fitle, and exercise his liberty as he
pleases. 13ut even American tolera
tion does not permit breaches of the
law. English forbearance goes far
beyond American, for it suffers its
own Ecclesiastical Titles Act to be
virtually broken with great pomp
and ceremony, and makes no sign of
concern and displeasure. The con
secration of Dr. Manning was mor
ally a violation of that Act, and ex
pressed the contempt which Roman
ists of the modern school have for the
laws of the land when they interfere
in any way with the progress of the
Roman Church.
• # # # m
The appointment of an Archbishop
of Westminster is an aggression, lie
is altogether uunecessary to the fair
«iiijoyment by Roman Catholics of
the utmost stretch of religious lib
erty,- but lie is necessary to the
scheme of aggression and conversion
by which the Roman Church hopes
eventually to supersede and supplant
the Church of England. Truly, the
present generation of Romanists in
England have fallen upon prosperous
times. They build, they endow,
they propagate their principles, and
extend their agency to their heart's
content, and no one says them nay.
The late Archbishop Wiseman
was by descent half Irish and half
Spanish, and he was born a Roman
Catholic. But Archbishop Manning
is English born. He was once an
English Churchman, a son of Ox
ford, an archdeacon, a popular
preacher, the head of a considerable
following, the centre of a wide circle
of admiring friends. His present
position is, therefore, a greater tri
umph to his Church than to himself.
It was not a small thing to have won
him at all. It is a far greater to
have raised him to the highest posi
tion which a Roman Catholic prelate
can fill in England ; and that it
should be so, is, indeed, significant
of improved times for our Popish
friends. There can be no doubt that
the selection of Dr. Manning was de
termined upon from the known zeal
with which he had laid himself out
to win over influential persons in tli«
Established Church. He has always
had' a long train of admiring ladies
at his heels, and over them his influ
ence is something remarkable. If
the. history of many ladies of rank
wiio have joined the Church of Rome
within the last few years could be
told, it would be seen that almost
every one of them has been more or
l«ss under the winning pastorate of
Dr. Manning.
Thr Fatk of Aaron Burr .—The
case of Aaron Burr is a significant
example in American history of the
wisdom of a lenient policy. If ever
there was a man dangerous from his
talents, ambition and capacities of
intrigue, it was Aaron Burr. But a
free country, in ite> conscious strength,
could afford to be humane even to
Aaron Burr; and he went into an
obscurity as profound as that of the
grave—a living death, more terrible
to a man of his spirit than the hor
rors of the scaffold. His name, which
might have been dignified by the in
fliction of the extreme penalty of the
law, could not survive the solitary
life, cut off from all human sympa
thies, «to which he was consigned,
and which was finished by a death
" unwept, unhouored and unsung."
S avings of N wolbon F irst.—
To a general officer not eminently
distinguished, who solicited from the
Emperor a Marshal's baton, he said :
" It is not I that make Marshals ; it
is victories."
On hearing the first gun at Fried
land he exclaimed : " Soldiers ! it is
an auspicious day. It is the anni
versary of Marengo."
To a troop of artillery, which had
failed in their duty, he said : "This
flag which you have basely deserted
shall be placed in the Temple of
Mars, covered with crape. Your
corps is disbanded."
He presented Moreau, on one oc
casion with a magnificent pair of pis
tols as a cadeau. "I intended," said
he, "to have got the names of your
victories engraved upon them, but
there was not room for them."
A sentinel who allowed Gen. Jou
bert to enter Napoleon's tent without
giving the password, was brought
before him : " Go," said he, " the
mau who forced the Tyrol may well
force a sentinel."
On catching the first sight of the
Mamelukes, drawn up in order of
battle on the banks of the Nile, in
view of the Pyramids, Bonaparte
riding before the ranks, cried : "Sol
diers ! from the summits of yonder
Pyramids, forty generations are
watching you." " Forty generations
look down upon you" is the other
and.better version.
The 4th Regiment of the line on
one occasion lost its eagle. "What
have you done with your eagle?"
asked Napoleon. "A regiment that
loses its eagle has lost all. Yes ; but
I see two standards that you have
taken. 'Tis wel' " continued lie with
a smile, "you shall have another
eagle."
On the field of Austerlitz, a young
Russian officer, taken prisoner, was
brought before him. "Sire," said
he, "let me be shot. I have suffered
my guns to be taken." "Young
man," was the reply, "be consoled
Those who are conquered by my
soldiers may still have titles to
glory."
J3P "I am a broken man," said a
poor poet. " So I should think,"
was the reply, " for I have seen your
pieces."

IMl'OR TANT ORDER B Y THE PRESIDENT
War Departmen, Adj't Gkskral's Office, 1
Washington, June 17,1865. f
General Orders No. 84.
The following order of the President of
the United States in relation to transfer of
abandoned lands, funds and property set
apart for the use of Freedmen, to the
Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Aban
doned Lands, is published for the infor
mation and guidance of all concerned :
Executive Mansion, "i
Washington, D. C., June 12, 1865. /
Whereas, By an act of Congress, ap
proved March 8, 1865, there was estab
lished in the War Department a Bureau of
Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands
and to wbieh, in accordance with the said
act of Congress, is committed the super
vision and management of all abandoned
lands, and the control of all subjects re
lating to refugees; and freedmen from re
bel States, or from any district of country
within the territory embraced in the oper
ations of' the army, under such rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the
head of the bureau and approved by the
President; and whereas, it appears that the
management of abandoned lands, and sub
jects relating to refugees and freedmen, as
aforesaid, have been, and still are, by or
ders based on military exigencies, or leg
islation based on previous statutes, partly
in the hands of military officers disconnec
ted with said bureau, and partly in charge
of officers of the Treasury Department; it
is therefore Ordered, That all officers of
the Treasury Department, all military of
ficers, and all others in the service of the
United States, turn over to the authorized
officers of said bureau all abandoned lands
and property contemplated in said act of
Congress, approved March 3, 1865, estab
lishing the Bureau of Refugees, Freçdmen
and Abandoned Lands, that may now be
under ur within their control. They will
also turn over to such offices all funds
collected by tax or otherwise for the bene
fit of refugees or freedmen, or accruing
from abandoned lauds or property set
apart for their use, aud will transfer to
them all official records connected with the
administration of affairs which pertain to
said bureau.

Ucficiii]itloii of Mutilated Bank Notes.
The following important circular has
been issued by the Treasury Department :
Treasury Department,
Office of the Comptroller of
Washington
The following suggestions are offered
relative to the redemption of mutilated
circulating notes of national banks, and
their return to this office :
First—The notes are to be redeemed by
the banks by which they are respectively
issued, and should not bo returned to this
office in sums less than five hundred dol
lars, or in even multiples of that amount.
Second—Mutilated notes which have
been torn or defaced will be received, when
presented by the bank that issued them,
provided all the fragments are returned
and the engraving or signatures are not
so far obliterated that it cannot be deter
mined by what bank the notes were issued.
Third—Fragments should be redeemed
by banks in full when accompanied by an
affidavit stating the case and manner of
mutilation, and that the missing part of
the note is totally destroyed. The good
character of the affiant should also be fully
vouched for by the ofliccr before whom the
affidavit is taken.
These affidavits must be forwarded to
this office, with the fragments to which
they relate, in order that the banks pre
senting such parts of notes may obtain
credit for the same.
Exceptional cases may occur in which
no affidavit can be obtained, and where no
reasonable doubts can exist in regard to
the entire destruction or irreparable dam
age to missing portions of notes—as by
fire, acids, etc.—where evidence of identity
is ample by the signature of one or both
officers, or title or locality of the bank,
aud the denomination of the note—where
the integrity of the bill-holder is unexcep
tionable, and where no question could
arise in regard to afraudulent or improper
use of missing parts ; in such instances
judicious discrimination must necessarily
be exercised by the officers of the banks.
It is, however, advised that such notes
be received at their full face value, a per
fect note given therefor, a record being
preserved of the fact, to be sent to this of
fice with the mutilated note when returned
for redemption by the bank, in which case
full credit will be allowed in this depart
ment.
Fourth—When no satisfaction can be
obtained in regard to the missing parts,
and a possibility exists that any improper
use can be made of the same, it is recom
mended that a proportionate value only be
ment, i
' Currency, >
a, D. C. j
allowed, estimating this !>y comparison of
the proportion returned to the missing
parts. A record should be kept of the
amount allowed in all snch instances, and
a voucher of the same rendered to this of
fice, when the mutilated note or notes shall
be returned for redemption.
