WAR MOTES Horrible Hiiflerinffs of (be Wounded French. The Uassel correspondent ot the London Times writes: The other day I had a most horrible sight of human suffering. About 1500 prisoners arrived at midnight, on their way from Frankfort to Stettin, In open railway tracks, no other car riages being available. When the train started fioin Frankfort in the morning the thermome ter was above freezing point, but in tbe course of the day inch a sudden change set in that in tbe eveniDg the glass marked many de crees below It. They were scantily clothed, Bonie of them without great coats, which they had sold, buying tobacco with the money; others had thin cotton stockings aud wooden hoes; others again had nothing at all on their feet. Lying in the same open trucks which conveyed them from Epernay, exposed to the intense cold, they were in many instances frozen to tbe beards in their own filth. One of them at least some people speak of more was frozen to deatb. They were in a most terrible and pitiable plight, and tbe groaning of same of the poor sufferers was fearful. After their arrival they were distributed in the waiting-rooms of tbe station aud in tbe barracks, where they received resto ratives in the shape of coffee, soup, and meat. Warm clothes and blankets were also given to many of them, and they continued their journey after a stoppage of fifteen hours, with the exception of about twenty, who were sent to the La.aretto. When I saw them there they had first to be bathed. They were literally swarming with vermin. Some of them, being Mobiles, were mere boys of sixteen, and agalu men above fifty; others had served In the line, and all of them were suffering from exhaustion or pulmonary affection. (itrmaDj as a Naval Power. One of the reported conditions of peace offered by Bismarck is that France shall cede to Germany some of her colonial possessions. What does this Indicate ? That Prussia, having achieved supremacy on land, next aspires to be come a great naval power T That the decay of the maritime greatness of France is to be fol lowed by the accession of Germany to the rank once held by her conquered and demoralized rival? Or Is it only In lieu of any better attain able conditions? It would be difllcult to fix at this juncture the precise limits of Bismarck's views touching the future development of Fatherland. That this ambition should expand In proportion to the opportunities "which the result of this war affords him la but natural. The unification of Germany means more than a simple political consolidation of hitherto separate States. Tbe effects of a union so tre mendous must reach far beyond the terri torial boundaries of the Empire, and by what methods and to what ends the great states man who controls Germany will exert the forces at bis disposal, is a question surrounded by too many difficulties at present to determine. That one of these ends, however, will be the building up of a vast commercial and naval power, is altogether likely, and this view Is strongly con firmed by the proposal to which reference has been made, as well as by the demand that France shall surrender a certain number of her fblpeol war. Elephant on Teaat.. A Paris letter says: We have just killed Castor and Pollux, the two elephants lately installed at tbe Jardin d'Acclimatlon, and upon the backs of which, in happier times, so many children of all ages and rexes used to take a ride In the Bols de Bou logne. Pollux was tbe first to fall, done to death by an explosive bullet, the triumph of the great gunmaker's (M. Devlsin's) skill. The ball struck btbind the right shoulder, and bursting internally, produced a terrible hemor rhage in the bowels. The huge beast bore the wound patiently, and after flooding the cage with blood, expired without a struergie. castor was siatn by a young Englishman, Mr. Milne Edwards, who aimed at the head In preference to the heart. Tbe first ball struck on the right temple, and Castor, after a shrill cry of surprise aud pain, sank upon bis knees. The second bullet struck him in the centre of the little hollow cavern, suns: into the forehead, aud upon receiving the third he fell dead instantly. To-night the restaurant at Peter's in the Passage des Princes, Is crowded with French consommatturi, eager to taste the flesh of a new animal. A Michigan man has been fined 300 just for knocking another man down with his fist and killing him. THE MASONS AND THE WAlt. Tbe t'o-ovrralloa of Ike Knropnaa Mnnnn la AaarHoraie the llorrara of Wo lilforta ol the Frateralty la Behalf of Pence. The following extracts, which hive been translated from the Leipsio l!lutrite Zrltnng of the dats given, will be interesting to the Masons of this country, as showing what their European brethren have been and are doing to mitigate the horrors of the war now raging between France and Germany: Sept. 17, 1870. Immediately after the be ginning of the present war, the Masonic Lodge at Ifalle sent forth an appear to French Masons, asking them to interest themselves in their German brethren who might be taken prisoners, and to facilitate thoir intercourse with their friends at home, promising at the same time to perform the like kind oflijes for French prisoners. Prom the French papers which have published this appeal, it appears that it was favorably reoeived. A member of one of the most prominent of the Parisian lodges announced in the Masonio press that he held himself ready to assist any German Freemason who might need help in the re verses of war. Sept 2i, 1870. From all parts of Ger many we have Dews of the active part which Masonic lodges in different cities are taking in the benevolent work growing out of the war. Not only in those places which are near the scene of warfare, but also from those far distant, come these accounts; as, for instance, -the lodge in Insterburg, in East Prussia, has given np its hall for a hospital for wounded soldiers. As a general thing, the contributions are all sent to the committee appointed by the lodges at Fratikfort-on-the-Main, and from there dis tribmted wherever needed. Berlin, of coarse, does a good share of the work for the wounded. Five of the lodges there, which belong to one grand lodge, have togotner given C000 thalers from their treasury, besides about 1000 thalers from individual members, and they have offered nearly all of their balls for hospital purposes. And smaller lodges are equally active, according to their ability. The lodge in Ludwigsberg (Wur temberg). for instance, have established in their hall a little hospital for just four wounded men, who are cared for and attended only by members of the lodge. It has been occupied feince August 14th by four men from North Germany wounded at Woerth, and on August :0th it was visited by the King. Oct. 1, 1870. The Grand Lodge of Swit zerland issued at Lausanne, on Sept. .'3, a manifesto to other Masonio lodges, desiring a speedy restoration of peace. It rejects the idea that the present war is one between raaes. "We Swiss," say they, "unite in one language the German, French, Italian, and Latin, and we, who stand by no means in the lowest rank of the Roman and tbe Germanic races, declare that it is impossible for us to perceive that this strife has the slightest con nection with any question of race. France and Germany, representing the lloman and Germanio races, lose very much this distinc tion at the present day," etc., etc They ap peal for help, "not so much for the victims of the battle-field, as to heal the bleeding wounds to national pride." They remind their brethren of the civilizing work of Free masonry of all that it has hitherto done to reconcile those separated by political passion or religions fanaticism, and they hope for the same success now in bringing an end to this war as they have had in the suppression of slavery. The Grand Lodge, formed of depu ties from all Swiss Masonio Lodges, has also cent forth a manifesto, calling upon both the contending parties to consider terms of peace. Oct. 8, 1H70. Aocording to the Bauhutte, the organ of Freemasons, the collections of all the English lodges for the families of Ger man soldiers in the field have amounted to 70, 000. Oct. 22, 1870. As from the Grand Lodge of Switzerland, so also from one of the most influential lodges of Belgium, that of "The Friends of Man" (MehsohenfreundeJ, in Brus sels, there has gone forth a plea for peace in the form of an appeal to German and French Masons. It concludes with the words, "It is high time that men should keep their powers for conquests in the kingdom of mind and of knowledge. We invite you all to finite in a strong effort to restore peace to the world. It is possible, we believe, to reach this end. It remains to be proved whether the civilization of Europe is equal to the task, but it must not be forgotten that little is accomplished so long as anything is still left to be done in the cause of justice." At the head of the list of signatures stands the name of the Burgo master of Brussels. Immediately after the surrender of Stras burg the Masonio lodges at Worms called for a subscription among the members of the Order, for the unfortunate inhabitants of the conquered city. Oct. 29, 1870. German Masonio Lodges have, as was to be expected from the spirit and aims of the order, taken their fall share in the varied and wide-extended works of be nevolence to which the present war has given birth. We hear from all quarter where lodges are found of halls being offered foi hospitals, of organized work in the care of sick and wounded, in which women also are of course active, and of generous gifts of money. After the taking of Strasburg, tbe fate of the unhappy people of that city and of KeLl has moved the lodge at Carlsruhe and the Grand Lodge of the "Three Globes" at Berlin to a special appeal for large contri butions on their behalf. Not. 5, 1870. A correspondent of the Daily Ifews mentions several instances in the present war of soldiers opposing each other, and in the moment of deadly peril recognizing each other as Freemasons, which has oausad them to show mercy to the conquered and kindness to the wounded and the prisoner. The Masonic Lodge at Mannheim, on the 2'Jth of September, the day after the surren der of Strasburg, placed at the disposal of the officers of the lodge there the sum of 1000 francs. The Masonio order is extending in Hun gary, new lodges having been formed in Kas chan and Arad, and also in Festh a lodge es tablished in 1780 has received a fresh impetus through the encouragement of the Hungarian ministry. A Masonic cirole has been formed daring the last summer in Munich. Colonel Frapolli, before his departure to France, gave to Garibaldi his formal resigna tion as Grand Master of Italian Lodges. The Grand Orient in Florence, however, aooepted it, which is looked upon as a disapprobation of the step taken by Frapolli. Nov. 12, 1870. The Grand Lodge of Italy, in Florence, has decided to remove its per manent sittings to Home. During his stay in Edinburgh the Prince of Wales was solemnly installed as Proteotor of the Scottish Masonio lodges. The only German lodge in Paris which has held its meetings np to August 15 has, sinoe the declaration of war, received from many French lodges expressions of friendliness and sympathy, which are made public by those of the former who have gone to Switzerland, and who now acknowledge the same with gratitude. The name lodge, besides its gifts to the general hospital opened by the Paris lodges, sent also to the lodge at Mannheim, at the beginnicg of the war, a contribution in response to their appeal for the wounded of bcth armies. Nov. 10, 1870. The Crown Prince of Dsn mark was on the 1st of November received into the order of Masonry by the King of Sweden, and will be at the head of the Dan ish lodges. In German lodges in North America contri butions have been made for the families of fallen German soldiers. A society, quite widely extended in the United States ef America, formed somewhat after the model of Freemasonry, desires to plant itself also in Germany. It is called the "Order of Odd-Fellows," and has for its main object tbe care of the sick and support of the widows of its members. Its attempt to establish itself here has only been hindered by the present war. It has in the State of New York alone more than 20,000 members, and has in the last year given nearly $00,000 in charities. NEW PUBLICATIONS Harding's Editions OF THE HOLY BIBLE.
