[The famous little pootn of which we giro her® a
somewhat free and enlarged reproduction, hpa, for
many years, been read, snug, and laughed oyer at
far at the German language is spoken or under
stood, To a German, or to one familiar with Gen.
man life and phraseology, the points of the satire
ape at onoe obrluns, and every attempt at aneluol
datlon would appear ridiculously superfluous.! But
for the generality of American readers, the follow*
lag explanatory remarks may, perhaps, be not alto
gether unnecessary: When, during the storms of
the first French revolution, along with jnany.
equally time-honored Institutions, that of the
or lea had also been swept away, the admirers of
the enrien regime, with a fond regret for all! that

The Paris correspondent of the London Time*
writes on the 18th nit.:
“ Tho following is the despatch addressed by M.
Drouyn de Ltmyg to Gaunt Sartiges, the French
minister at Borne, expressing .the painful surprise
of the French Government at seeing two letters ad
dressed to the bishops of Orleans and Poitiers by
the Pope’s Nuncio.
111 Monsieur le Comte
“ • Tie Emperor’s Government lias seen la tho
journals, with a painful surprise, two Jotters written
ny the Apostolic Nuncio—one to the Bishop of Or
leans, to congratulate him on his pamphlet relative
to the Convention of September 15, and the Ency
olloai of December g; and the other to the Bishop
of Poitiers, approving his pastoral letter. By that
twofold proceeding the Nuncio has gravely compro ■
jnlsed the character with which he is invested. In
writing to French bishops to express an opinion on
their oonduot and to direct their course with respset
to the Imperial Government, his Excellency has
exceeded his functions, which, according to French
public law, can Only be those of an ambassador.
But an ambassador falls In his most essential
duty when he encourages by hts approbation
resistance to the laws of the country in which
he resides, and criticism of the aots or the
Government to whloh he is accredited. It Is true
that his Excellency In the explanations whloh he
has given me on the snbjeot has disavowed the pub.
licationof these letters, which he attributes to a
. culpable Indiscretion. But It la of the faot itself
that the Emperor’s Government has a just M*ht to
complain. It hopes consequently that the oihrt of
. Borne, In Its wisdom, will not permit a recurrenoe of
sach Irregularities, which, besides, the French Go
vernment is determlned-not to tolerate. You will
be pleased, Monsieur le Comte, to road this de
spatch to his Eminenoe Cardinal Antonelll. Ac
cept, &c. Daouvx db E’Htrvs.’
“ It Is announced that the Pope has written to'thc
Bishop of Orleans, expressing 1 the joy the bishop
has given him by the manner In which he had re
futed tpe errors and calumniating Interpretations
which altered and disfigured the . sense of .he En-~
cyclical.’ The Holy Father also laments ‘that the
journals should have made themselves the Interpre
ters of his doctrine, while the power of InterpreUng
It was taken away from the bishops, to whom alone
the apostolic letter has been addressed.’ He more
over congratulates tbe bishop on the manner‘in
which he has disclosed to aU ‘the manoeuvres and
frauds of Piedmont.’ _
“ The Gazette de France mentions that one of the
French Cardinals having considered It his duty to
consult Cardinal Antonelll as to the Interpretation
to be given to the Euoyolloal, received this answer:
' X had intended giving these interpretations, bat It
isnow useless. The pamphlet of the Bishop oL,Or
leans may be consulted; everything Is in ft, it'd I
have no other answer to give.’ ”
[From the londonTimea.3
That the war most enter on a new phase Is evi
dent from the proved Impossibility of carrying lt on
with the existing institutions, or rather Constitu
tion. The requisite levies, whether or men or of
money, cannot be made under a system of much
divided and even discordant authority. When the
President Is obliged to employ detectives to see
that the States do their duty, the day oannot be
distant when the central power will do that duty as
It Is done In Europe—by .the imperial agenoy, and
no other. Such was ever the result of long wars la
times gone by; and the several States in this In
stance have proved that they are no more to be
trusted than the feudal chiefs, the tributaries, and
allies, whose shortcomings, vacillation, or weak
ness have so often ruined tue cause which depended
on their loyalty and seal. For the prosecution of a
great war -there must be not only a commpn cause
and a common ardor, but the sacrifice of everything
that Interferes with perfect unity of action. One of
the earliest consequences of our own great war with
France was the Irish Union; and the first result of
the Indian mutiny was the transfer of the Indian
Government to the British Crown, 1 , A divided au
thority makes large demands on time, and Ofi that
mutual deference whloh contributes so much to
the "pleasures of peace, but becomes impossible
when commands must be executed Immediately
and thoroughly, which is the only pace war oan
take to succeed. The Americans fondly hope that
the snspenston of their constitutional guarantees
for liberty Is an incident that will soon be a matter
of history. But years pass by, great transactions
take place, and a new generation is rising to men’s
ettate, under a reign ot arbitrary power, and In tbe
sphere of one all-absorbing contest. Will the State,
or the Federation, be the more Important in their
thoughts! Or,if they should have a quarrel with
tbe larger bona, will It bo to lall back on the lesser!
The Americans have already sacrificed liberty for
Union, and they may shortly find that they will
have to sacrifice Union for Empire. They will have
to sacrifice- that free voluntary Union which their

~ The Edinburgh Scotsman gives an account of a
reoent robbery of the Arcbseologioal Society’s Mu

and several of ; the most valuable artloles stolen.
These consisted, of. the whole collection or gold,
silver, copper, and bronze English, Sootoh, foreign,
Indian, andajiplent Roman coins—some orwhlch
wero vsry'rar%-somo Hindoo household gods, a

ing the coins, &0., hod been rudely foroed open, and
a good deal of damage was done besides the loss
sustained by the plunder. Two residents of the
town were suspected and plaoed under the sur
veillance of the poliee, and the superintendent be
coming satisfied that the whole or part of the silver
property had, been taken to Edinburgh he- pro
ceeded there, and sneeeeded In recovering a large :
quantity of the valuable coins, abont five pounds of:
melted silver (supposed to be the mountings of the ■
rods of state), a bronze Hindoo god, and other
articles. Immediately on recovering the property
he telegraphed to Hawiok, directing the appre
hension of the criminals, who were at onise taken
into custody.' (The ease has oreated great excite
ment in the town, and the court was densely
crowded.
With regard to the British Minister to this
country, the following occurred In Parliament:
Mr. Watkln asked the Under-Secretary for Fo
reign Affairs whether Mr. Burnly Hume Is still In
charge of the Embassy at Washington, and, If so,
when her Majesty’s ambassador, Lard Lyons, may
be expected to resume his duties.
Mr. Layard. I should very muoh regret if the
question of my honorable friend inferred any reflec
tion upon Lord Lyons for not being at his post
[hear, hear]; but I rejoloe at this opportunity of
bearing my testimony to the singular seal, tact,
discretion, and ability with whloh Lord Lyons has
carried on the business of this country at Washing
ton during a most critical and [important period.
[Hear, hear.] Of the many thousand oases with
which Lord Lyons has had to deal In no one single
instance has he not received the entire approval of
her Majestv’s Government; and it may, perhaps,
Interest the House to hear the amount of business
that has been transacted daring tho last three or
four years by the Washington Embassy. The cor
respondence of one year filled 60 large folio volumes.
In less than three years there were 13,948 entries In
our registries. Those were of single despatches.
Nearly all of thorn contained enclosures; one con
tained no less than 203, It took thogentleman who
drew up the list of British claims last year six
weeks to prepare it. I think that, looking at this
enormous amount of labor, it is not surprising that
the health of Lord Lyons should have broken down.
Mo is now in this country on leave of absence, and I
am quite sure that the House would not think It
right or proper for her Majesty’s Government to
press Mm for a decision as to whether he should re
turn to his post at Washington or not. Mr. Burn
ley Hume is carrying on the affairs or the mission at
Washington with the entire approval orher Majes
ty’s Government.
The researches made'in the grounds of Cam
buskenneth Abbey during last summer, by the
Boyal Society of Scottish Antiquaries,’ and the
magistrates of Stirling, wiU, in all likelihood, be
productive of much good to the town, and also
cause this finebld ruin of the eleventh century to
be repaired, and the tower, which is so muoh ad
mired, saved from destruction, if funds are avail
able It is proposed to improve the entrance, open up
the built-up windows, and make the ground hall a
suitable place for reoelving antiquarian relics, and
for tourists resting. The most interesting fact in
connection with the Abbey was the discovery or the
tomb of Sing James 111. The grave was found
near the spot where in old guide-books and histories
it was indicated to be, and was covered with a mar
ble slab, bearing the marks of Iron bands and. sock
ets, attesting It to have been the last resting-place
of a person of noble rank, and l4all probability that
of the unfortunate monarch. The grave appeared
as If It had been disturbed at a former time. The
whole circumstances of the discovery were laid be
fore the Queen, who most graalously signified her
wish to erect a memorial stone or cross over the re.
mains of her royal ancestors, James 111. and his
Queen, Margaret of Denmark. The wish of her
Majesty was brought before the Stirling Town
Oounoil, who at onoe, and with the greatest plea
sure, unanimously assented to the pious and
thoughtful desire of the Queen. During the .exca
vations several large oak trees were found In one
of the foundations. These were oarefully removed
and placed in the tower. Having lain for seven
hundred years in a wet soil, the oak has become of
quite a blaok color. It 1b supposed that, owing to
the bad foundation, the trees were used for the pur
pose of making a proper found, and supporting the
Pillars and arobes-of the choir.
—M. Jean Duvobin, a retired captain In the
Customs’ servioe, at Bayonne, has received the de
coration of the Legion of Honor for a translation of
the Bible into tbe Basque language. This honor
has been asoorded by the Emperor on the recom
mendation of his cousin, Frinoe Louis Luolen Bona
parte, who is himself a distinguished Basque
scholar. The translation was published under the
supervision and at the expense of his Imperial
Highness. M. Duvolsln spent six years in the
translation, and six years more were spent by
Prince Lonls Luolen In settling the orthography of
the Basque words. The printing Of the Bible In
i Gnipusooao, Basque,' and Spanish is also com
menced under the supervision of the Prince. It
will be completed in five years. In the other dia
lects of-the Basque, the Blsoayan, the Souletan,
high and low Navarrese, as well as la several of
their subdivisions, there are. versions of some of the
books of the Bible, .edited or translated for the first
time. The grammar and declensions of these dia
lects are very intricate.
The Liverpool Timet makes thelbllowlttg state
ment concerning a Reverend chairman:
A dying woman was taken by her husband, a
navvy, In mi open cart, seven miles, to the Win
chester Hospital, the other day; was admitted, and
pntto bed. In the course of a quarter of an hour,
the B,ev. E. Stuart, the chairman of the hospital,
came Into the ward, and, seeing that the woman
was not clean, and badly olad, direeted the at
tentlon of the officers of the institution to a rule re
quiring that all patients should oome clean, and
with a certain number of clean garments; and final
ly ordered|the patient to be expelled at once. So the
dying woman was taken back seven miles In an open
cart, and being met near .her jonmey’s end by
another clergyman, was by Mm accompanied to an
adjacent workhouse, where she died of synoope
brought on by exposure.

. diligence and.zeal, and the. powerful 'battery- (If X
may so call It) of. apparatus which Mr: De la
Bne has brought into the field for the pur
pose of discoverlng“~£W structure or the sun.
And It Is now apparently well known that the
sun is probably more unequal In Its surface than the
moon Is, and that by proper, arrangements of ap
paratus you can discover these Inequalities: It was
first discovered, I believe (after astonishing the
philosophical world - for somo time, no’ one being'
able eorrqctly to understand what It meant), during
an eclipse of the snn, when the eye is enabled to
see that which is otherwise concealed. It was then
ascertained that'there were extensions upon the
surface of the sun, the effeot of which no one could
judge of at that time, but which now turn out to be
undoubtedly, projections In the nature or mountains.
And Mr. De la BuO” (asthisls purely a’photographio
discovery) has been enabled by photography to ob
tain pictures oi that which the human eye oannot'
see, bat which the eye of photography does see. In
other words, the rays which produced no effeot upon -
the human eye .will passthrough the excessive light
which covers the surface of the sun, and make an
Impress upon a proper paper bo as to give you a
picture of tha sun when shining In bis full strength.
This is one of . the matters which, I own, I have been
watching for and expecting; but I expeot mush
more. I own that I look forward to the period
when photography and Its connection with the arts
and chemistry will be the means of discovering a

Dr. Zenker, of Dresden, was one of the success
ful candidates for the prizes of the French Academy
of Sciences. His subject was the dangerous para
site called the Trichina Spiralis, upon which he had
made Important researches. This microscopic
worm, which lives ooilecfup in a sort of cystus or
pocket, was observed about 1835 by Mr. Richard
Owen, in the flesh of certain animals. In 1850 Dr.
Herbst, of Gottingen, found by experiment that the
trichina was transmissible from one animal to ano
ther by ingestion, and Drs. Virohow and Leuokart
confirmed the faot. On the 13th of January, 1880, a
young girl was admitted Into the hospital of Dres
den on the supposition that she was laboring under
typhus fever, but there were some symptoms want
ing to confirm this opinion. The girl died on the
37th, and Dr. Zenker, on diseoting her body,
found, to his astonishment many thousands of
trichinae jin a free state in the muscular tis
sue. Their not being encysted was a sure sign that
they were or recent importation. In the intestines
he found a vast quantity of adalt trichinae, male
and female, and perceived the bodies of the latter
with living; embryos similar te those existing
in the muscles. Thus Dr. Zenker, for the first tijno,
proved that In the same person there may exist
adult trichinae in the intestines and tljpir larva) in
the mnseles; so that the latter could only have got
there by piercing- the intestine, either by direct
migration or by the blood and ehyle. Upon Inquiry
he found that the girl had eaten pork from a pig
killed on the 21st of December, 1853, and that both
the farmer and his wife, with whom she lived, had
been attacked with similar symptoms, but had re
covered. From all these facts Dr. Zenker arrived
at the conclusion that there exists In man a disorder
resulting from the Immigration of trichlnm from the
Intestines to the mnseles, and that this disorder be
comes mortal when the immigration Is too conside
rable lh consequence of the Ingestion of a large
quantity of meat tainted with the parasite. Ho
sooner did this discovery become known than It was
confirmed by further observations throughout Eu
rope, In Germany, especially In those places where
raw pork Is used, hundreds of cases were discovered,
even assuming the form of an epidemic, where
trlqhinated pork had been sold.
Everything relating to the prevention or cure
oi that terrible disease, hydrophobia, In valuable.
A Mr. W. Clifford, of Doddington, England, writes
to the Southeastern Gazette as follows: J
Having seen In your paper an account of the
death of a poor boy at Greenwtoh from hydrophobia,
I am induced to inform you of a preparation which,
if taken is time after a person has been bitten, will
prevent this dreadful malady; though It will not
euro It when the patient has onoe got Into a rabid
state. I know of two persons In this village who
were bitten by a mad dog, bnt who took this remedy,
and are now living. I can . also testify to several
other instances in which it has been administered,
both to persons and to animals, with equal success;
indeed, ! have never known it to fail. It has been
in the possession of a-famlly to the neighborhood,
for upwards of 100 years, until It eame into the
hands of one member who was muoh reduced, and I,
with some neighbors, was induced to buy It, not with
the view of profit, but to make the remedy known Tor
the good of the public generally. I now enclose
yon the receipt, In order that you may publish It,
should you think proper. The herbs should be good,
and the mixture carefully made; and If well corked
it will keep any length of time. The following is
the receipt: “ Take, dried herbs of bear’s foot, wood
beteny, woods age. agrimony, bex, and rue, eaoh 2
ot., witha small piece of nightshade. Out these
small, and put them Into a gallon of rainwater,
and boll all together In an iron vessel until reduced
to a quart. 'When the liquid has boiled seme time
add one ounce of antimony, and an ounoe of filed
pewter. Half a pint to be taken three mornings
fasting for an adult, and a smaller quantity in pro
portion to the age by younger persons. The same
quantity to be taken again at the next full of the
moon. The patient to abstain from any spirituous
liquors, and be very careful not to heat the blood
by violent exercise.”

MaiUart’s opera, "Lara,” has proved la Its
English dress as successful la London as the origi
nal was In Paris. The Musical World thus de
scribes it:
“The fact Is that the piece Is dramatis, and In
other respects [good, while the muslo, if nowhere
very- original, in no place approaches that most
fatal of drawbacks—dullness. It sparkles, If It does
not shine, and tickles the ear agreeably without
ever once being a burden on the attention. The
iconic Incidents follow eaoh other naturally and
rapidly—the more so now that a few judicious cur
tailments have brought them Brill closer together;
and the music wedded to eaoh fits it so well as to
show that M. Maillart, If not In the strict accepta
tion of the term an inventor, Is a thorough master
of Ms business. With such attributes, the success
of “Lara” at the Opera Comlque may be readily
understood. Above all things the Parisians hate a
boro; and no more formidable example of boredom
exists than a long and elaborately written opera,
marked by the absence of rhythmical tune. This
Is precisely what M. Matllart’s opera Is not. No
hint at elaborate contrivance can be detected from
one end to the other, and though certainly It ex
hlblts few signs of 'inspiration, the tune, qualify It
as we may, is fluent, unceasing, and almost Inva
riably rhythmloaL’ ”

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Government loans were.a shade better yesterday, and
Garb was more activity in ail the various loans. Tbs'
1881 s sold at 110 X, a rise of X ; the 6 20, at 111>4, an ad-'
vance cf Yi ; and the 10-40 s at 9714, an advance of X.
Eiaie loans, however, were dull and lower, bavin*
sold at 8731 for the fls, a decline o' X- There was
nothingsaid in the State War Loan 8s; City 8s were very
quiet at former rates. Company bonds were generally
weak, and the sales effected were at lower figures.
Second mortgage Pennsylvania Bail road Bonds sold at
100, a defline of 8 on the last reported sale. The only
other lot of company loan sold was Schuylkill naviga

was weak at 27, and Minehill at SIX. Canal stocks are
very dull. The principal movement was in SchnylkU

stock was Manufacturers 1 and Mechanics’ Bulk at 31.
In the coal stocks there was less activity. Green

The Mingo OU 00. yesterday declared a dividend of 2
per cent., free of State taxes. ___
A law was paiied by both booses of Congress daring
tie closing boars to authorise the coinage of three-cent
pieces, to be composed of eopper and nickel. The law
also prof Ides that the three- cent pieces shall be a legal
tender to the amount of sixty cents, and that the one
and two-cent copper coin shall be a legal tender to the
amount of four cents. It also prohibits the issue of any
paper fractional currency below the denomination of
five cents,consequently the newbaper three-cent notes,
being illegal, must be withdrawn from circulation.
The perils of dealing In fancy stocks are strikingly
illustrated by a table published in the .Springfiald Re
publican, the figures of which were obtained from offi
cial records at the State House. The table tires the
names of fifty- six gold, copper, and coal mining compa
nies which swore to paid-up capitals amounting alto
gether to $17,380,000, In May last the rains of this capl ■
tal stock had fallen to $4,231,073; and in November, six
months later, to $1,624,400. These stocks bare thus
lost orer ninety per cent of their original par value.
Seren of the companies are reported as entirely worth
less, haring lost aU the capital, thabwas overpaid in,
which in most cases was, no doubt, much less than the
amount sworn to. That many of them were merely
speculative is shewn by the fact that only nine of them
claimed deductions on their State taxes for real estate
taxed elsewl ere* and the aggregate of the taxes paid
elsewhere by these nine companies was bat $5,363 61
Somehalf dozen of the companies hare kept up their
stock to some approximation to the,original figares, bat
the remaining fifty, whose original capitals amounted to
$15,630,000, hare dropped down to $817,900—a small frac
tion orcr-four per cent remaining. Although not la
lnrgeproportion of the original capitals was paid in is
money, a great deal has beeninrested in good faith in
the purchase of the tfock by parties who did not
originate them. In this way millions must hare been
lost.
A great deal of excitement was occasioned in the mar'
ket yesterday by the announcement that a flowing
wellhad been struck on the river, below Franklin, ad
joining the lands of the Cameron Petroleum Company.
It was announced as a three-hundred barrel well, and
finally as a one-hundred barrel well.
The agent at Franklin, last night, sent the foUowing
report, which is known to be reliable:
_ Frasklik, Harch7,lBss.

With reference to the market for American securitise
in London* Satterthwaite’s circular says:
The peace news from America produced a mast singu
lar effect on our market s; American securities were ra
pidly enhanced in value, while home securities were
depreciated. However, on receipt of later news per
Hibernia* the previous range of prices has been esta
blished, it.being generally considered a fact that peace
negotiations are absolutely broken off We incline to
the contrary opinion, as from a revltw of the circum
stances it will be remembered that Judge Blair went on
s mitsion to Bichmonc * which was reported to be fruit
less* bm was followed by Commissioners being sent by
the Confederate Government fco-the James driver, waen,
alter an interview with Mr. Seward* a telegram was

the proceedings of that interview wiU be kept secret
by-tbe President and the Minister. It is true the Com
missioners returned home to communicate with their
chief* but we cannot help arriving at the cone'uston
that even should their.duties have terminated, the very
fact of their having been sent and received by tbe Pre
sident indicates a growing desire in tbe minds of both
psrtles In some way to bring this unhappy struggle to a
conclusion. Up to the arrival of the Canada*, with the
intelligence that a meeting was to take place between
