ihe reonrat of their colleagues- exhausted
overv argument to persuadoHJ H. of the ne
«es«lty of his coming into the city, and taking
bd his residence temporarily in his palace
there, the responsibility for any disaster that
might, occur in consequence of H. H.’s de.-
dining to accede to this request -would not
rest on the Consular Corps. The Bey declared
that he would have his carriage kept in readi
ness to come into town on the first intimation
that hi« presence was nepessary.
The French Consul-General retdrned to the
city, whilst the American Consul went, to the
Minister’s country residence, some miles dis
tant, to ask him to come in town at once., He
soon made his appearance in
horseback, surrounded by his officers. This
Minister is l extremely unpopular, and was
. teceived with, hoots and hisses.
Troops began to pour in from different
nnarters, and occupied all the' avenues Of com
munication between, the Mahommedanand
Christian quarters, so as to prevent a sudden
elniptionfrom one into the. other,.. . .... .
• The Consuls having assembled at the British
Consulate, which is situated on the squaro,
the Prime Minister, the Minister «of Foreign
Affairs, and a number of other high officials
being present, an animated debate ensued,
when it was decided, againßt the opposition of
a few, that the assassin should ho summarily
beheaded. It would have been wiser to have
billowed the law to take its course, awl the
prisoner to have been regularly tried before a
competent tribunal, but in the intense ex
citement that prevailed this opinion was over
ruled.
Omar Ben Ali had taken refuge in a mosque,
which in Mahommedan countries is respected
as a holy sanctuary, wherejanyjcnminal, how
ever great his crime, is safe irorn arrest, a
janisary of the British Consulate, disregard
ing the sanctity of,the asylum, followed the
fanatic, who, exhausted with fatigue and m a
State of prostration after the efiects ot the
iuakeesh and its consequent excitement had
passed off, was easily led out into the street,
Where he was seized by the police and con
ducted to prison. , . .
, As soon as the Ministers came to a decision
it, was telegraphed to the Bey, who approved
it and ordered the immediate execution ot the
OCflOßfilTl
During these deliberations an infuriated
«x>nukice under the windows of the Consulate
was howling for the death of the prisoner,
t-b&t 116 should hs brought to
the soiiare to be hung frqm the„centre of an
arch. Some brought, their wounded children
And laying them oh the ground, harangued the
Crowd, and mothers tore their hair and cried
over their bleeding infants. Altogether, the
scene was one of indescribable excitement'
It was in vain for the Consuls to implore tho
people to be calm, and to assure them that jus
tice should surely ho done ; or for General
Kheredine, amau as respected and beloved by
all classes as his father-in-law, the Prime
Minister, is despised and detested, to promise
them on bis word of honor that it should be
•done in less than an hour. They feared to be
balked of their prey, and suspected that the
least delay portended that the life of the culprit
-was to be spared. , , ~ ~
At last word was brought that Omar Ben
Ali waß decapitated, and General Kheredine,
who is a splendid-looking man, with a voice
like a clarion, and who speaks French flu
,ently, announced from a balcony that his
promise was redeemed, and that the man was
executed. He now begged them to disperse
quietly to their homes. .
The'crowd was still unsatisfied. There were
among them some, who, for sinister purposes,
kept up the excitement and tumult by false
reports. They demanded to see the corpse, and
proposed to go in a body—several thousand
m number—to the square in front of the Kasha
(citadel), at the other extremity of the city,
Brhere the execution had taken place, to see
with their own eyes that the real culprit had
been beheaded. This the consuls strenuously
opposed, some even going into the streets
leading to the citadel and keeping the crowd
back forcibly. . , .
It was finally agreed that a deputation,
beaded by the Italian, French and English
vice-consuls, should go, and as they expressed
fears. that they might he assaulted, General
Kheredine offered to accompany them. When
they reached the large square in front of the I
Kasha they found a regiment of cavalry
■drawn up, llauked by two regi
ments of infantry, forming three sides of
A square. In the centre of this space lay the
remains of the fanatic who had thrown tho
whole city into confusion and brought us to
the verge of a general massacre. He lay on
his back, his head attached to the body by a
small piece of the skin only. When the order
for his decapitation was received from the
Bey, he was at once taken from tho prison to
the place of execution. On his way thither he
declared that he was not tho only culprit; that
it had been agreed between him and six others
to make a simultaneous attack upon the
Christian quarter from different points; that
bfl accomplices had failed, through cowardice,
to keep their engagement, and that he was
betrayed. Their object was to bring about a
general uprising of Mahommetau population
against the Christians, and we have seen how
nearly he alone had succeeded in this. Had
his confederates been as desperate as he was,
there is no doubt that in a few hours we
should have been overwhelmed.
On the return of the deputation, Klierodine
again addressed the mob, and said that, hav
ing redeemed his promise, he. again implored
them to disperse quietly. It was not till night
that quiet was restored.
Troops are now stationed at every corner,
and continually patrol the streets. Each Con
sulate is guarded by a squad of Zouaves.
The number of persons wounded by the
fanatic has not been ascertained with pre
oision, but it is estimated at from 75 to 85, of
whom several have since died. Many of the
wounded are women and children.
At a meeting of tho consuls on the 10th it
was resolved to open a subscription for the
suflerers, and to present a pair of silver
mounted pistols to tlie dragomen or janisaries
of the American and British consulates. The
consuls had a long and lively interview with
the. Bey on the lltli, the eve of the festival of
Bairam, which occurred this year on the 12th
o*' March. They thanked bun and his minis
ters fur the measures they had taken to restore
order and maintain tranquillity, and requested
him to reorganize his poliee, which was found
to tie. on this occasion worse than useless.
We have had an opportunity of seeing how
saints and martyrs are made. Thefanatic,who,
a few days ago, was an humble water-carrier,
whom the imistlowly Mussulman would not
even have looked at, is now one of the elect—
seated, tlnir priests aver, in the highest
heaven ot the Muhoinmedau paradise, by the
side of the holy prophet, in glory ineffable.
He isa martyr, who died in the most sacred
cause—the slaying of infidels. His corpse was
followed to tile grave by thousands of ttie
faithful, and crowds of devotees daily visit it.
A handsome marble monument is being pre
pared to commemorate his martyrdom. His
garments were divided into small" pieces ami
distributed to the bystanders, and the very
earth moistened with his blood hits been
piously collected and preserved as the most.sa
cred of relics.
, The massacres of Aleppo and Djedda are
still tresli in our memories, and wo all know
howsmalla spark is sufficient to cause a con
flagration ill which we may all bo consumed.
In the midst of a bigoted, ignorant and. ex

i brutal instincts.

'Chicago, April 9, l&TO.-rThe power '■.«>»«*
railroad is always in proportion to the great
ness and' multiplicity df interests it served.
Never ‘has this seemed more truthful
to'me than in. the Cedar Valley enterprise.
There are many • projects in this wonderful
"Western land that look somewhat chimerical,
and none that so iindeservedly enjoy that
reputation in the past as do some of the
schemes for building railroads. Nothingstnkes
the Western mind with Such force as an in
coming locomotive. Ifeveragod (not Hebrew)
gets worshipped here, it will not be the sun
nor the moon, but a locomotive. It is on account
of this very extravagance that railways have
suflered somewhat. A few years age> all the
talk of the West was railroads. A preacher
was not worth much who did not work m a
railroad. I remember, a few years ago, to have
listened to one of onr buncombe orators, who
was taking off certain land speculators, ot
which Chicago has not got rid by any means.;
The land agents bad been descanting to a:
crowd of newly-arrived Easterners on the:
virtues of their several tracts of land. Each
section or quarter section Was well watered,
well timbered, with a soil six feet deep,
a climate as balmy as Italy, and
where graveyards were useless; and as the
agent passed from point to point, he summed
nfi up in a word: “And, in short, my friends,
a railroad runs right through it.” A poor
Pennsylvania Dutchman who had got the
shorts, and had had the fever and ague,
the bilious, typhoid and intermittent fever,
with sundry other Western blessings, until
lie bad gotten so reduced that, to raise the
wind to buy more quinine, he had driven a
fine cow to market to Bell. In vain did. he
descant upon her many virtues.. Three
whole da vs he had , tried in
vain, and ‘no Chicagoan would buy
the poor Dutchman’s cow. Hearing the hub
bub of the land agents, he drove ms cow to
ward the crowd and listened, and hearing
each time, as the eloquent agent closed his ad
dress, the words, “and, in snort, gentlemen, a
Tailroad runs right through it,” and noticing
the success ot the sale, he catches a bright
thought. He mounts a barrel near biß cow,
and commences : “ She is gentle, she is kind,
she is sound as a aut: yields immense quanti
ties of milk of the best kind. She is not
breachv, nor will she push with the horn. In
short, nay friends,a railroad runs rightthrough
her/’ The Dutchman sold his cow.
Railroads, notwithstanding all the extrava
gance of the West, have grave merits. With
out them we could never have settled Dlinois;
and in my opinion, without a road soon to
cross the State of lowa from north to south,
her interests will suffer greatly. To meet this
want., the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Min
nesota Railway is to be constructed, 320 miles
through a valley, every acre of which will
■yield from 40 to 00 bushels to the acre for
wheat and from 75 to 100 bushels to the acre
for corn, with fruit and r grass-bearing
virtues—a very parable of this par
adisaical West. The capaoity of this
whole region drained in the interest
of commerce bv this road is already 50,000,000
bushels of products annually, anti when de
veloped up to the maximum figure consequent
upon the erection of this road,wiil reach 500,-
000 000 bushels of the same. Within two years
already its products in cereals are about
doubled, and that, too, without a railroad.
What it will be when done, any Western man
will tell yon. I believe the income of the
Chicago and Northwestern was last year
over *10,000,000, in local trade, and the
O. & N. W. has not half the country in rich
ness to enrich it that the Cedar and Minnesota
Valleys have for the Burlington,Cedar.Rapids
and Minnesota.
In through trade it must become decidedly
the favorite of the West, for the following
reasons: It is the shortest line, and only one
possible, between St. Paul and St. Louis; It
serves Chicago, for all above the Rock Island
road, better than anv other can; it must feed
with coal and lumber all central lowa, from
Minnesota, and a vast region below lowa. All
the great eastern and rival lines converge
and pour right into it at Burlington,with the
immense merchandise . ..and emigration tor
the Northwest, with its 1,000.000,000 acres
of laud. Into it, at its northern terminus, will
pour all the winter and great part of the sum
mer traffic of the Northern Pacific—nearly
2,000 miles long: the whole railway Bystem of
Minnesota and beyond, with the coal and the
copper,the iron and the lumber of this famous
land, the thermal latitude of which is about
that of southern France. I think the day of
extravagance in railroads is past, and that this
enterprise is to be a favorite: stock of the
markets. It is moving rapidly forward to com
pletion, and will be completed in time to be
come an important feature in opening up the
the Northwest.
Texas Beeves ami Texas Profits.
[From the Galveston Civilian,March 29.1
We had recently a conversation with one of
our leading and most intelligent operators in
cattle, in which he gave us much information
that was novel to us, and will, we doubt not,
prove interesting to our readers. The great
changes which are constantly going on in the
vast trafiic in beeves, one of the leading sta
ples of Texas, are observed in the aggregate by
few even of the persons most interested.
The first point in looking at oltr cattle-trade
is the fact that Texas has acquired entire con
trol of the New Orleans market. Three years
ago large quantities of Western cattle were
brought to that city for sale, one steamer
alone, the Uncle Sam, bringing down the river
as many as one thousand beeves at a single
trip. To-day not only has this Western trade
ceased, but the river steamers are - carrying
large quantities of beeves up the Stream.
The Kentucky graziers, driven to the Northern
and Eastern markets, are now seeking to
counteract Texas competition by agitating in
the Legislature for tho prohibition of the im
portation of Texas cattle into that State, as we
stated in our news columns of yesterday.
The great increase of the New Orleans trade
has had tire eilect to diminish the srtpply of
beeves in our coast counties, atrd the opera
tors in this market have been forced to seek
supplies in the We,st. In doing this we learn
that they now go as far as one hundred miles
west of San Antonio, and make nearly all the
shipments at Indianola. They find a continual
increase of their market irr the East. Not
only is the local and up-river trade to be sup
plied there, but the railroads terminating in
New Orleatrs are making increased arrange
ments to supply from that point the demand
for cattle along their lines. This demand is
felt all through Northern Alabama, Tennessee,
and Northern Georgia, but recently supplies
from Texas have been sought farthe Shenan
doah Valley in Virginia, where a beautiful
blue grass region exists, with no cattle to fat
ten on it.
In this business of fattening and killing
Texas cattle for market, another great change
has been recently experienced. For a long
period Chicago was its great centre, but now
lew herds are fatteued there. This trade has
removed westward into Missouri and Kansas.
Consequently a great cattle route has sprung
up through our northern counties and the In
dian Territory, and it is believed that when the
Kansas and Texas Railroad shall be completed
at will take the bulk of the cattle trade from
our State. Already the farmors in our north
ern comities find that they can kill and sell
their calves for nearly enough money to buy
beef from the southwest. This fed during the
winter with their rough feed, and corn that has
no other market, brings them in the spring a
large price from the Kansas dealers. When
the rail-road communication to northern mar
kets becomes open to them, northern Texas
will share much more largely than it now does
with Kansas and Missouri in the business of
fattening cattle from our far western prairies.

lOorreepcndMice ol tao Philadelphia Eveolna Bollotm.J
i PojTfrvii.LK, April 14, 1870.—'The present
strike in the Schuylkni region & looked
fipoßasA crisis in the histbryof the icoaltrade.
It is hoped that the resultwill'sSttle forever the
vexed question ofcapitalvS. labor. ~ , i
The parties engaged idi tbfe controversy are
Well Organized and seem equally determined;
and as'they are often alluded to in a general
Way, Vrhile their nature and (claims are seldom
defined, it has occurred to me that a sketch of
them might not be inopportune.
The struggle has been a long one, for it be
gan with the first strike of the miners ; and the
miners were among the 'first to adopt that
method of redressing grievances. Until within
a few years each coal operator mined andship
ped his'own coal, and sold it for the best price
he could obtain. When his men became, dis-.
satisfied with the wages paid them they struck,
and their places were speedily filled by others.
The operator, then, had things pretty much his
■own way,' and feared • nothing but a falling ■
market or an accident which might prevent his
shipping coal. The miners soon saw that if.
they would make their strike successful they
must adopt some plan to prevent others from •
filling their places as fast as they vacated them.
They at first tried the expedient of placing
guards at the mouth Of the mine,' and keeping
everybody out by main force. 'For obvious
reasons, this experiment failed to give perfect
satisfaction, and they hit upon another. “In
union there’s strength.” They would
form Miners’ Unions. So the men
at each colliery formed’ themselves
into a union and pledged themselves to
stand by each other, through thick and thin.
Then the men of neighboring collieries formed
larger unions, and these became auxiliary to
still larger ones, and the work went on till the
miners throughout the entire anthracite coal
field were bound m mutual chains, andwoe to
the unlucky “ rat” who tried to break through
the barriers thus erected. Then'the Strikes
became more extensive in their scope, and
longer in their duration; the organization of
the unions became more perfect; they were
made to embracejnot only the “ miners,” tech
nically so-called—the men who actually dug
the coal and developed the workings—but the
“ laborers,” or those engaged in the numerous
other occupations incident to every colliery..
"When this was accomplished, the title of
“Miners’ Union” was dropped, and that
of “Workingmen’s Benevolent Associa
tion,” familiarly abbreviated “W. B. A.”
adopted in its stead. These associa
tions are organized by counties, and
that of Schuylkill county dates its existence
from some time in the Spring of 180 S. It is
composed of many smaller associations, named
after, tlieir respective locations, as those of St.
Clair, Middleport, Taraaqua, &c., and is, itself,
subordinate to “ The General Council of tire
Anthracite Coal Fields of Pennsylvania,” which
was organized at Hazleton, March 17,1809, by
delegates from Schuylkill, Luzerne, Columbia,
Carbon, Northumberland counties. Dauphin,
'the remai-ing anthracite county,was not repre
sented, bus was declared entitled to one repre
sentative iu future meetings of the Council.
This vigorous infant, while yet a day or two
old, fixed the wages of miners at 20 per cent,
of the operators’ receipts from the sale
of his coal, and requested the coal operators of
the six counties named'to appoint a committee
to confer with one appointed by the Council,
and arrange for a general suspension of work.
Pursuant to this resolution, the Schuylkill W.
B. A. issued the following notice, dated Potts
ville, April 29, 1809 :
“We, the Executive Committee of the
Workingmen’s Benevolent Association,do here
by unanimously adopt the following resolution,
to wit:,.
“Resolved, That we,the Executive Committee
of the Workingmen’s Benevolent Association,
do hereby give due notice to all our employers
and consumers of coal that there will be a gen
ral suspension of work to take place on Mon
day, the 10th day of May, 1809.
“ John Sinev, President. *
“ George Corbett, Secretary.”
And suspend they did.
May 11th, 1809, the General Council met
again at Hazleton, and decreeed that the “ ba
sis ” should be $3 00 per ton at Port Carbon,
and $5 00 per ton at Elizabetbport. And it
was so; for, by this time, the men had things
all pretty much their o wn way.
Not quite all their own- way, though; for in
the summer of 1868 they undertook to enforce
the “ eight-hour law,” and for several weeks
ihe country was filled with bands of men,
armed with bludgeons and pistols, and carry
ing banners with appropriate inscriptions, who
marched from place to place, stopping all
works, and compelling the workmen to join
their lanks. But “ The Mahanoy Valley and
Locust Mountain Coal Association” was then
formed, and the men found that two parties
could play at the game of which they had
hitherto bad the dionopoly. They were finally
compelled to resume work without accom
plishing their object. ■>
A word here about the “ basis” mentioned
above. The first Hazleton convention origi
nated the idea, and is entitled to the patent
right. It is a fixed schedule of wages, based
on the price of coal at the places mentioned,
and was accepted by the Schuylkill operators,
. after a long fight, as they were tired out—coal
was advancing and they were willing to accept
“ peace at any price.” They all resumed work
on the following basis: With coal at or under
$3, at Port Carbon : outside wages, $ll per
week; inside wages (laborers), $l2 per week,
and miners, $l4 per week. For each dollar
that coal advanced in price at Port Carbon,the
riicn were to receive 20 per cent, advance in
their wagc6, and a joint committee of working
men and operators was appointed'to fix the
wages monthly.
In view of this state of facts, the operators
concluded that the men had altogether too
'much power. The Schuylkill region had been
obliged to submit, because of incomplete or
ganization. The Lehigh region submitted for
a month ; then took fright at the aspect of the
pay-rolls and bolted, had a long fight,and com
promised. But the large companies in tlie
Scranton region fought so long and So stub
bornly that the men surrendered uucondi
titionally and went to work, at advaueed wages
indeed, but without a basis.
This encouraged the Schuylkill men, who
had long felt the need of an organization
among the operators. The Mahanoy Associa
tion was already formed, witli headquarters at
Ashland and Mahanoy City. In October, 1808,
“ The Coal Association of the Southern Coal
Field of Schuylkill County ” was formed, with
headquarters at Pottsville, and was followed in
December of the same year by “The Mount
Carmel Coal Association” and “TheShamokin
Coal Association,” with headquarters respec
tively at Mt. Carmel aud Shamokin ; and in
October, 1809, these Associations formed “ The
Anthracite Board of Trade.” Subsequently,
“The West End Coal Association” was formed,
with headfiukrters at Tremont, and the organ
ization for tne Schuylkill Region was complete.
The Schuylkill Region is not confined to the
county from which it takes its name, but ex
tends into both Columbia and Northumber
land counties; while some collieries iu Schuyl
kill’county are not, included in it. It embraces
simply the collieries which ship their coal over
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad and its
branches. Hence, some in Schuylkill. county,
■ which ship over the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
are excluded ; as are, also, some 'in , Northum
berland, which ship over tlie Northern Central
Railroad.
The coal associations arc composed of the
operators within their respective districts. The
’ Board Of Trade is composed of one executive
from each association, and one delegate from
| each 200,000 tons of coal Bhippcd by such as
sociation the previous year—any ■'.fniefclpiial
excess, over one-half, entitling, % tjtie afflpsiatjloii;
to an additional delegate. * Toe BoVd pjs

« To protect, harmonise and advance generally
the interests of the individuals ;and Units _of
which it is composed, and td cultivate friendly
relations and harmony of interests, when, prac
ticable, with those of other regions; to procure
“regularly the statistics of the anthracite coal
trade, and of all the coal trade throughout the
world, and to promote the mutual Interchange
of information and experience, both scientific
and practical,” ;
The executives aforesaid, “ with the President
ofthe Board as Chairman, ex officio, consti
tute an Executive Committee, to whom now
business for the action of the Board may be
.referred, and who . shall have supervision of
' the execution, and report any, infraction of the
constitution and laws. They may institute,
; and continue negotiations with other associa-,
■ tions, bodies or individuals, and shall attend to
the affairs of the Board generally, while. it is;
' not in session, and report to its next meeting. \
‘ The present officers of the Board are - as
follows: ■■ „ .
Presidentr— William Kendrick; Vice Presi
dent—Samuel E. Griscorn; Secretary— Robert
B. Beath; Treasurer— C. M. Hill, Jr.
Executive Committee —William Kenduck,
Chairman; George W. Cole,-, Mahanoy Asso
ciation ; Samuel John, Shamokin Association;
A. B. Day, Mt. Carmel Association; D. B.
Miller, West End Association: s
The contending hosts being thus set m array,
it remained for one or the other to ott'er battle,
and this the Board of Trade proceeded at
once to do by promulgating" the following;
basis: With coal at or below $2 GO at Port;
Carbon, outside wages $9 per week; inside
(laborers) . $lO, and miners $l2; contract
work to be reduced 30 per cent, from the $3
basis. The old basis said nothing'about con-;
tract work, and the men saw ft loophole there.
They worked by contract wherever possible
(and a great deal of mining is done by con
tract), and though tlieir basis wages were $l4
per week, they would not touch a contract by
which they could not make $2O to $23 per
week.
Of course there was a rebellion as soon as
this basis was announced, and it was deemed
’ ■ necessary to ratify it by a ihass-meeting of the
operators. One was, accordingly, called to
meet at Pottsville on March-17, 1870. Almost
every operator in the region was present on
the day appointed. The Board of Trade
rooms were found too small to accommodate
them, and they were obliged to adjourn to
; Union Hall. Of 4,321,253 tons shipped in
18G9, about 4,500,000 were represented at this
meeting—the largest ever held in the Schuyl
kill region, It ratified the $2 50 basis, and
those present pledged themselves to abide, by
it, and not to work unless the men accepted it.
The men did not accept, but adhered to the
$3 basis. The result is thus summed lip by
one of the operators, who writes to
the Miners' Journal, under date oi
. April 13, 1870: “The situation to-day
shows they (the operators) are fearfully in
i earnest in this matter,for not one single colliery
of any account in the region, and not one sin
gle signer of that pledge is at work now.”
■ And tire same, as far as I can learn, is true to
. day. Of all the operations represented in the
| Board of Trade, John Wadliuger’B lleckscher
ville colliery alone Is working, and this with
the approbation of the Board; as his mine is
■ on fire, and it is necessary to keep working in
order to check the further spread of the flames.
Meanwhile the Heading road has subdued
the strike on the M. and B. M. R. It., and has
. thus released some coal in schutes and on
sidings in the Mahanoy Valley, which will
i appear in the shipments of the present week.
, My thanks are due to the publishers of the
i Miners' Journal, and to Colonel Beath, the
Secretary of the Board of Trade, for valuable
information and assistance in preparing this
paper. Wico.
AH OLD STORY.
Here is a very old story furbished up for
present use, adapted from Kladderadatsch.
The fisherman Petrus went out to fish on tho
sea-shore, where he dwelt hard by with his wife
Simplicitas. They were a pious, charitable,
and contented pair.
As Petrus was casting his line from a rock it
became entangled with something heavy. He
drew to land a jar, sealed and fastened with
magical emblems. But when he pressed the
cover with the finger on which he woro his fish
erman’s ring, it gave way; a thick cloud of
smoke issued from the vessel, and a genius
knelt before him on the sand.
“ Who art thou ?” said Petrus.
“ The slave of thy ring. Ask what thou
wilt, and prove me.”
“ 1 dare not tempt Providence,” said Petrus.
“I ask only to serve God in my calling, as I
have hitherto endeavored to do.”
“ When thou showest me tby ring,” said the
genius, “I am here.” And he disappeared.
So Petrus told wliat had happened to bis
wife Simplicitas. “ But I am not contented,”
said she. “I wish to be a bishop. Ask the
genius to make me one.”
And Petrus returned to tho seashore, and
held out his finger with the ring, and the genius
immediately appeared.
“My wile wauts to be a bishop,” said Pe
trus.
“She is so already; go home.”
And Petrus went back to his cottage, and
found it surrounded with clergy and pious laity
pressing for an audience of the bishop. And
Simplicitas was within, seated on an elevated
chair, and robed in rich vestments, anil wear
ing a mitre ou her head. And numbers pressed
on her to grant their several requests, and some
knelt before her and kissed the hem of her rai
ment ; hut near the door stood some of his old
associates, clad in their humble attire, with sad
and reproachful aspect.
“ Well, wife, you have your wish; liow does
it please you 2”
“This is not enough,” replied Simplicitas;
“ I want to be a king. Ask thegenius again ?”
So Petrus agaiu went to the shore, and the
1 genius appeared. “My wife wants to be a
king.”
“ She is >one already. Go home.”
And when Petrus readied his cottage, lie
found it beset with files of armed men, and his
wife-bishop in command of them; for she had
become a pontiff-king. And she was sur
rounded with nobles and officers, and she sent
forth her warlike orders to the end of the
earth, and they were obeyed, and a cry, as of
- slaughtered men arose, aud smoke as from the
burning habitations of men.
“Is It enough ?” said Petrus.
“ No, it is not enough. I want to be a
pope.”
Aud again the genius granted the request;
and when Petrus returned-home he found his
wife a pope, and all believing nations prostrate
before her.
; “Is it enough? ” he said once more.
“No, it is not enough. I want to be as God,
knowing good and evil.”
And Petrus summoned the genius once
more ; but his brow was dark and lowering;
“ What wouldest thou yet? ”■
“O genius, my wife wants to bo as God,
knoWing good and.evil.”
But the genius vauished, and a tremendous
storm and daikness arose. And Petrus hast
ened to his cot, but the thunderbolt had struck
it - and it was in flames, and Simplicitas was
seen no more. And what became of Petrus
you shall hear another time.

AN AMERICAN BBANCH OF THE EVAN'
UCUCAL AI.UAM E.
The following circular, addressed to the
evangelical clergymen of the United States,
will explain itself: \
Kkv. and Dean Bkothkr: —You are,
doubtless, aware of the formation, in New
York, somewhat more than a year ago, of an
American Branch of the Evangelical Alliance,
and are iu some degree acquainted with the
general work which, in co-operation with the
European Branches, it hopes to accomplish. It
is our object, in this Circular, to bringtbe sub
ject more fully before you, andtoaskyonr
concurrence and aid in the prosecution of our
•work.
We beg leave, then, to state, that at the last
General Conference of the Alliance, held at
Amsterdam in 1867, it was agreed that a
meeting should be held in America, and that,
In pursuance of this resolution, constant com
munications have been held with the British
and other Branches, and active measures
have been in progress throughout the past
year.
As the result of these efforts, extended pre
parations have been already made for the ses
sions of the proposed Conference, which will
commence in New York on the 22d of Septem
ber next. A list of subjects bas been drawn
up, embracing many topics of the deepest
Christian interest; a number of the most
eminent scholars and divines of Holland,
•Switzerland,: France, and Germany,: have con
sented to prepare papers, which they will read
before the Conference ; some of the ablest
minds of Great Britain will present views on
-very important subjects, and many of our own
Christian: thinkers will present reports and take
part in the discussions. We have reason,there
fore, to believe that, besides exemplifying and
increasing the unity of believers in the. com
mon faith of the Gospel, the session 'of the
Conference will develop' many views which
will be found “profitable for doctrine, for re
proof, for correction, and for instruction in
righteousness.”
In the prosecution : of these objects, it has
become necessary to incur very considerable
expenses, for arrangements vital, to the enter
prise. '
The energetic/'supervisin' of the work at
home requires The labor ,f ail able Secretary.
[Key. A. Eldridge, Iv. D.]; an Agent [Uev.
I’hilip ScliatV, I). I).], whose character would
command respect, had to bo sent abroad to
engage the assistance; and Jiivltb; the attend
ance of eminent European scholars; the
twenty gentlemen invited to prepare papers for
the Conference must he relieved from all ex
penses of their journeys to and fro; a variety
of minor charges of tire same kind must be
incurred, and - ample provision must be made
for the accommodation of the foreign delegates
during the eleven days of ’the session of the
Conference! These, and various other ex
penses attending the gathering'of so numerous
and influential ajuody, from, the whole domain
of Christendom, will demand gederbus contri
butions from American Churches in sympathy
with the Ailiancb. ; ! .
It gives'us pleasure to say that our iiivita
tions apd announcements abroad, of the pro
posed Conference, have drawn forth most
cordial and widespread interest. A large num
ber of English, Scotch and Irish friends, in ad
dition to ouir invited guests, will be in attend
ance, with many French, German, and pther
delegates from the Continent. Several of the
,Cantons of are raising funds to
’defray, in part, the expenses of their delegates,
and appea ing to us for assistance ; and, doubt
less, similar appeals will reach lis from other
portions of Europe.
We feel anxious to bo able to respond to all
these appeals with a generous welcome, and to
carryout the details of the Conference in a
manner not inferior in liberality and efficiency
to that in which such meetings have been con
ducted abroad, It is probable, moreover, that
the translation of papers, and the publication
of a volume of transactions, wllLrequire ' con
siderable sums. ■ ;
The occasion is significant and remarkable.
The first meeting of this' religious Congress la
the New World, the revolutions! moral and po
litical, of our era, the great’ 'questions which
Divine Brovidence is bringing up for discus
sion, and the almost simultaneous occurrence
of the Bapal Council for the last great assault
of Romo upon the liberties of the world,—
ail will contribute to make the occasion me
morable. ,
We desire to awake in every Church of
Christ in our land au interest in the Con-
ference which will call forth prayer in its be
half. We feel constrained, moreover, to lay
before you the wants of the movement, and
to ask your aid in supplying them. Avery
moderate contribution from each congregation
will supply ample means for all our objects.
W.c earnestly request, therefore, that, as an ex
pression of your interest, you would take up
a collection on or before fast Sabbath of

PattM’anx and Her Protege.
Mdme. Patti is said to liave discovered be
hind the scenes of the St. Petersburg Opera
House a youthful prodigy. The child in ques
tion, a little girl nine years of age, had heard
Mdme. Patti several times in. the part of
Margherita, and imitated her singing to such
perfection that once, on making her exit,
Mdme. Patti fancied that the repetition of the
notes she had just been singing must be the
work of an echo. Finding, however, that it pro
ceeded from a clever and well-endowed little
gill, she offered to adopt the young songstress;
and, this proposition having been declined by
the parents, she procured her admission into
tbo .St. Petersburg Conservatoire. The name
of this interesting little phenomenon is Adlei'.
Ttae Monbitic Stone.
The interpretation of the newly-found
Moabilie inscription must make every sanitary
reformer heartily wish that Mesiia, son of
Cbemosh, was a Chief of tke Water Depart
ment in the present day. “I built,” says
Mesba. “ Karliah, Hamalli-ha-Yearini, and
Hamath—l constructed their gates and their
towers, I built the palace, and I made aque
ducts in the interior of the town. There were
no cisterns in the interior of the town of
Karliah, and I said to all the people, make
everyone a cistern in his house.”
Progress of Berlin.
Froni statistical tables it is evident that the
North-German capital has, in the last forty
years, more than overtaken St. Petersburg,
Vienna, Naples, Dublin, and Moscow. In-1801
the population of Berlin had already risen to
• r )52,000, in 1867 it was found to be 702,000,
and the police reports show that it must at
present be at least 800,000.
