title of " The Moon-Hoax." We know not
how much of the weakness of credulity"
may be in our mind, but we believe of
this Mont Cenis story exactly as much as
we believe Mr. Loos - Vs very clever
" Moon Hoax "—as much, and no more.
To be candid with the gentle public, we
must confess, that we are not prepossessed
in favor of any foreign " yarn " which is
spun out in the columns of the World. We
recollect how, three or four months ago, it
-published what professed to be a letter from
a special correspondent at FlOrenee, in
which, with an audacity of assertion which
would have been characteristic of Baron
Munchausen, the writer told the readers of
the World that the difficulty between Plus
IX. and VICTOR EMMANUEL had been ami
cably settled ; that the Pope and the King
were henceforth to be the very best friends,
and that the Pope, to show this to the world,
intended, with his own hands, to crown
VICTOR EMMANUEL as Emperor of Rome,
the ceremonial to take place in St. Peter's
Church, the glory of the Eternal City. Not
one wprd of this triple-faced ertna,pd was
true. The World must have immediately
discovered its fafilty, but to this day has not
apologized to its readers for having hoaxed
them. This is one of the reasons why, dis
trusting the truth of the World's foreign
tales, we cannot swallow this Mont Cenis
romance except with a grain or salt as big
the mountain itself.

LETTER FROM OCCASIONAL."
WAsaixeToX, Sept. 22, 1865
It is always best to meet a stern reality,
like a stern misfortune, more than half way.
That the great body of the Southern people
lately in arms against the National Govern
ment will soon be restored, if not to what
they consider their rights, at least to their
former relations, is a fact, however opposed
or denounced by mere politicians, that we
should philosophically and practically pre•
pare for. After thus admitting what it
would be folly to deny, let us then ask our
selves the question, shall these Southern peo
ple come back into ae national febnily as
our friends or our foes? Shall the politi
cians who still profess to sympathize with
them be allowed to continue to deceive and
direct the Southern masses as they de
ceived them when they sympathized
with them before and during their insur
!teflon against the national authority ?
And these questions are at least as impor
tant to our Southern countrymen as to our
selves. The political future, whatever
temporary diversions may occur, will be in
the hands of the present anti-slavery ele
ment, unless there should be such a fusion
between the masses North and South
as will forever obliterate the. passions
which produced our civil war, lead public
sentiment into new channels, and organize
it for new missions. The Southern people
will hold a subordinate position to the
Northern and Northwestern majorities, un
less the sectionalism born of slavery and
the spirit resulting from the disputes of the
last generation are buried forever out of
sight. There should be little left to quarrel
about between what were once known as
the Free and the Slave States. Probably
no people living under one Government so
stubbornly, and during so many years, mis
understood each other ; and yet no people
have at the present time a more hearty re
spect for, and thorough knowledge of, their
own peculiarities, interests, capacities, and
common destiny. The secret of this truth
is the fact that the great war, which came
as a necessity and almost as an irresistible
fate, dissolved all this mutual ignorance, and
substituted for it that higher and that man
lier spirit to which I have referred. When
John Hickman, on the first of May, 1860,
in the House of Representatives, laid down
the following propositions, he was charged
by certain classes in the North and the
South with increasing and spreading the
bitterness which already existed between
the sections ; and yet there is, as will be
perceived by any one who reads his now pro
phetic words in the light of reason and of
recent and passing events, a marvellous
philosophic admonition in them :
"Sir," said Mr. incicman, "if ninety Repre
sentatives in this hall can control one hundred
and forty-sevens if thirty Senators yonder can
govern thirty-six; if fifteen feeble States can
rule over eighteen powerful ones ; if minori
ties can overcome majorities, and weakness
strength % let us not further degrade ourselves
by whining , complaints against the former,
but let us, in as manly a way as we may be
able to do so, acknowledge their superiority
over us, and have it written down in the
archives of the nation, that our children may
understand it, and learn their plain duty from
it. If any one supposes I entertain a feeling
of animosity towards my Southern brethren,
let me here and now disabuse him. I com
mend, I admire them for their boldness and
success but whilst Ido so I have an unspeak
able contempt for that pusillanimity which
enables them to exercise the one and accom
plish the other. Iwould have them imitated in
their State pride and lack of gold greediness; in
their zeal and energy, their frankness and their
skill. If we were more like them we would suffer
less, and they would respect its more." They
would not then secure all the powers of Go.
vernment and all the patronage of office. Our
Northern Presidents would be full-grown men
—Commanders-in-Chief of the Army and Navy ;
executing the laws, suppressing incipient
treason, and maintaining the spirit of our
institutions. Our cringing Buchanans would
be moulded into inflexible Jacksons, and the
times of honesty, and confidence, and quiet
good feeling would be restored."
Mr. Rieliman's ideas have passed through
the fiery furnace of war and the purifying
alembic of blood, and have proved to be
invincible and enduring. We have, indeed,
learned from each other. The Southern
minority has been taught to yield to the
Northern majority ,• intolerant slavery has
expired at the foot of robust freedom ; mil- -
lions of acres of land, i heretofore owned by
a few aristocrats, and tilled only for their
luxurious ease, have been swept by the
besom of war—swept clean—purged Of all
disease and crime, and will soon be covered
by new populations, in their turn to be
succeeded by refluent waves of perennial,
unending prosperity. Into the South will
now be poured all those intelligent, ener
getic, and inventive faculties which have
laid under tribute both land and sea, have
broken down what were supposed to
be insurmountable obstacles, have Car
ried the " old flag" from the shores of
one ocean to the shores of another,
and, even while grappling with and
overthrowing the rebellion, maintained
peace and comfort, private rights and pub
lic order in all the free States. From the
South on the other hand, we of the free
States have gathered lessons scarcely less
valuable. Besides being introduced into
new fields of benevolence and enterprise,
we may profitably imitate that which Mr.
Hickman well calls " their lack of gold gree
diness, their zeal, their frankness, and their
skill." We may also study those qualities
which created in the South a class of politi
cal leaders, not such as Calhoun, McDuffie,
Jefferson Davis, R. M. T.. Hunter, and
William L. Yancey, filled with the devilish
instincts of slavery, but leaders like Jeffer
son and Jackson, who having discovered
the truth adhered to it until it was carried
to tomplete and practical success. If sla
very did one good thing in the South in
creating a special class, it was that from this
Class was born a race of bold, daring and
original minds, who controlled Administra
tions and Congressds, and were kept in their
seats by small and therefore willingsnd
obedient constituencies. I look forward to
the day for an admixture of the various and
heretofore differing characteristics of the
Northern and Southern people, that will
consolidate a race which will be a new
example and a new wonder to mankind.
Of this race the leaders will be giants and
not dwarfs, patriots and not Pifilnioi•

Foreign Friends end Foreign Fools.
The English gentlemen who have been
travelling and speaking in the Western cities,
are the very best set off to the foreign fools
they left at home. The British Yankees,
headed by Sir Monrox Faro, invested their
good sense and their good money in our rail
road securites at . a time when it required a
deal of hard thought and brains to undertake
such a risk. They are now getting back the
most grateful returns in the shape of a double
premium; first, in the confirmation of their
own honest judgments, and next, in large fat
dividends. Their countrymen, comprised in
the list published by order of Mr. SeWARD a
few days ago, have proved their claim to the
title of fools by lending their money to the
rebel financiers, and being justly chastised by
their own self reproaches—the scorn of
strangers, the contempt of the Union men of
the United States, and the loss of everything
they lent. What adds to the poignancy of this
chastisement, is the knowledge that a good
deal Of Spite was commingled with this
gambling in rebel bonds—that many of them
bought "Confederate" securities because they
hated the American Government, and wished
to see it broken down, and, therefore, they
loved the rebel _traitors. How much better
they would feel if their millions were now
safely in the same securities in which - Sir
MonToN and his party are concerned! No
more just retribution has ever overtaken
a reckless and desperate aristocracy. Honor
to the Friends, and shame to the Fools! ***

The Cholera at Smyrna.
The United States Consul at Smyrna, in a
letter to the State Department dated August
19th, says the cholera mortality is steadily on
the increase, and its ravages- arc , alarming.
It is stated in another communication that the
cholera has appeared at IL:gore% and our con
sul says that the Scourge is still advancing
eastward, but no cases had occurred at Port
Mahon. The consul at Barcelona reports to
the Department that from August 24th to
August 31st, the number of deaths from cholera
in that city have averaged about twenty-four
per day, On September Ist there were forty
two deaths from this disease.
The Wiz% Trial.
At the close of the proceedings in the Wl=
trial to-day a remarkable scene took place.
The witness on the stand, an Indiana cavalry
man, named George W. Gray had been testify
ing to some outrage on the part of WIRZ, that
bad nOt been put in evidence before. He
stated that the party of prisoners, in whose
company, he arrived at Andersonville, were
ordered to place their blankets, knapsacks,
haversacks, canteens, etc., in one place, when,
an °dicer mounted on a gray horse rode up
and told the Confederate soldiers to help
themselves and let the prisoners have the
remainder.
The Confederatesbelpedthemselves and there
.wasluotbing left. Ile was not certain whether
Cite mounted oilleer was Wraz or not. In June
or July, 1864, the witness, a young man riatrted
Underwood, of the 7th Indiana Cavalry, went
to the sutlers tent, Winz was there and Under
wood asked for something to rub his wound
with. The sutler said he would give it,
when Wins said, "No he cannot have it nn.
less he pays me a dollar." Underwood gave
him his only money, which was a $lO bill, and
when he asked for the cha.nge Wirtz kicked
him out of the door.,
The witness was put in the stocks four days
for attempting to escape ; he knew a man to
die in the Stocks, in August or September, 1861;
the negroes took him out of the stocks after
he was dead. threw his body into a wagon and
hauled it off; he knew Wirz to shoot a young
fellow, named William Stewart, of the 9th
Minnesota Infantry; he and the witness had
gone out of the Stockade with a dead body,
which they had begged, when they met
Captain Wirz, who rode up to them after
they had left the body in the dead-house,
and asked them by what authority they
were out there ; Stewart replied that
they, were there by proper authority ; Wirz
said no more, but drew his revolver and shot
him ; after Steward was dead the guards took
from his body twenty or thirty dollars, and
Wirz took the money from thd guards and
rode off, telling them to carry the witness to
prison; it was witness' determination to
escape if he could, and for that reason he had
gone out, but was not attempting tO do so at
the time; when the prisoners were being re
moved to the ears to be exchanged, Wirz
gave orders to Lieut. Davis to bayonet
any men who laid down in the road,
and witness had seen men who were
crawling on their hands and knees to the ears
bayoneted by the guards; witness heard one
of the - surgeons ask Wirz when he was going
to remove the Yankees, and Wirz reply was,
" Damn these Yankees ; they will all be dead
in a few days any how ;" witness had seen a
Prisoner, who had been eanght_by the - dogs,
with part of his cheek torn off,
and his arms
and legs gnawed, so that he only lived twenty.
four hours.
The first time that he had - known Wirz per
sonally was one day that he heard Lieutenant
Davis call his name at the gate.
Col. Chipman said, Captain Wirz, will you
be good enough to stand up.
The prisoner, who had been lying all day on
a lounge, squirmed round, partly raising him
self UP his eyes lit up with a wild and haggard
expression and yet glaring like those of a
wild animal brought to bay, met the eyes of
the witneSS.
Col. Chipman to the witness. D,o you rooeg
nize that man as the man who shot your com
rade'?
The - witness slowly and emphatically said
" that is the man."
The prisoner here made an effort to contra
dict the witness, muttering some incoherent
expressions about not having been seen by the
witness with Lieutenant Davis. He was with
difficulty restrained and 511enced by the offi
cers having him in charge. The Judge Advo
cate, apparently not satisfied with the oppor
tunity which - the witness had for identifica
tion, asked the prisoner to arise. Gathering
up as-well as he could his loose ill-jointed
frame, which appeared as if it Might fall to
Pieces,.the prisoner tottered to his feet, and
was supported in that attitude by the officer
of the guard, while his eyes wore such a
wild expressiOn that it was hard to re
press sympathy with the unfortunate man.
Again the Judge Advocate repeated his
question to the witness, whose reply this time
was more hesitating, "I think that is the man ,'
Another wild and fruitless attempt at Contra
diction was made by Wirz when he was partly
drawn and partly sank on the lounge, where,
by order of General Wallace, he was furnished
with cold water, and was fanned bytlie officers.
The court thereupon adjourned, General Wal
lace ordering the roomto be cleared instantly,
so that the fainting and apparently dying inan
might have more air. The halls and lobbies
were filled with persons waiting to see lyjrz
as he might be carried past.
The prosecution will probably Close to-mor
row, but it is doubtful whether Wirz will live
to serzAhe case,closed.

A srrortoto RECEPTION arm' Etra.
Secretary Stanton is receiving very marked
attention in New York. On Wednesday the
Chamber of Commerce unanimously pasted 6.
resolution inviting Chief Justice Chase and
him to their moths to have a personal intro
duction. On Thursday evening Senator Mi•
gun gave the honorable Secretary a splendid
/ entertainment, which is thus reported by the
Post:
4 ' It was in some respects one of the finest
tributes "of respect ever paid in this city to a
statesman and public officer. The entertain
ment was chaste and elegant; there was but
little formality; the ceremonies consisted en
tirely of the introduction of some of the per
sons who had been invited by Senator Morgan
to meet the Secretary, and the affair was social,
pleasing, and thoroughly dignified through- .
out. From three to four hundred persons,
representing the best classes of New York so
ciety, were prekent in the course of the eve
ning, as well. as distinguished military and
naval officers, members of the bench and the
bar, elergyMen, artists, and professional men.
Among the visitors were the following: Ad
miral -Farragut, Generals Hooker, Anderson,
Dix Barlow, De Trobriand Cullum, Barnard;

and Joseph P. Thompson. There were nu
merous other well-known gentlemen.
As the guests entered they were received by
Senator Morgan and presented to Mr. Stanton
in the drawing-room. The genial manner' of
the Secretary Snowed that he was highly grati
fied with the quiet character of the reception
and the courtesies tendered to him ; and the
conversations were entirely without the re
straint incident to ordinary public gatherings.
The daughters of the Senator did the honors.
There were several ladies present, among
them, Mrs. Stanton. two bands welt also
present, and enlivened the scene by some very
fine music. A crowd had congregated outside
who clamored for speeches, but they were
disappointed.

The Importance with which England
has Suddenly Gifted it.
ITS MRTHoD OF oftGAITIZATrON,
INTE?iTBrii% FIB MEMBERS, PIS CAARACTEit,
WHAT THE IRISHMEN THINK AMERICA
OUGHT TO DO:
Whatever may be thought of the power or
respectability of the it Fenian ErOtherVoOd"
in this country, it has been shown by our
foreign news that Great Biitain has ...very
powerful sense of its capacity for trouble in
Ireland. She has ordered out her ships of war
to guard the Irish coast, While on the island
itself her forces of constabulary and soldiery
have been measurably increased, especially in
Limerick, Cork, Tipperary, and Kerry, by
large reinforcements from England. For a
long time the London journals affected Vp
laugh at the• idea of any danger from the Fe
niaps, whom it ridiculed as invisible, but it is
very evident that the developments here and
the drillings - and saySterious meetings in Ire
land 'have- taught both the Tignes and the Go
vernment quite a different lesson, impelling
them to quite a different course of action. The
English Government has given them a promi
nence, A few words of information from us
about them win not be inapropos.
THE FEELING AMONG. TRH ERNIAHB HERE
The sense of patriotism, it is well khown,
has always been an attribute of the Irish.
man, whether he - treacle his native soil or
finds a home and refuge from evil laws in a.
foreign land, His love for the island he loves
to call " green" is indestructible, only grow
ing the stronger the more it is repressed. At
home, with the old scenes before his eyes, and •
the old traditions in his memory, thle love i$
powerful, ever-present, and is manifested as
well in the turf cabin, in the bogs of Connotha
ra, as in the cosy home or grand manor-house
of Dublin—" only," to use the expressive, even
Though seemingly ridiculous, words of'a
shining literary light—" only more so." But
it is a fact that those who enjoy the least bene
fit from their native land like it the best,
while many who have fattened did grown
rich upon it, even though they be• na
tives, forgetZwhat they owe, and become
the persecutors and the tyrants of their
lowlier neighbors, The majority of this class
of people think and feel the same way, but
where there is a majority there 'is always a
minority. The Irishman - at home loves Erin.
Separate him from Erin and he loves her the
more, especially when he eontrasts her condi
tion with the free land (if it is the United
States) in - which be lives, or his own personal
condition with that of the father, mother,
brother, or aunts or Cousins he has left be
hind. The feeling of rebellion towards Eng.,
land has always been strong. England has
been three times revolted against. A fourth
was attempted, but ended, we suppose, through
the presence Of Mitchell, the prisoner at
Fortress Monroe, in a good deal of harmless
boasting and a gentle wrestle between Saxon
policemen and Celtic conspirators in a quiet
Dublin cabbage-garden, into which the
brave patty of the second part had
fled affrighted. In all the rebellions de
defeat has been the portion of the revolution
ists. There were divisions in the counsels ;
jealousy—such as that in the first great revolu
tion which lost Ireland a &infield and victory;
disaffection, treason, and such a woful want
of preparation as to make the " rising," as a
rebellion is called in Ireland, almost a farce,
if slaughter did not make, what was abstract
ly a farce, actually a tragedy. Informers,
spies, and traitors always abomided, but Ire
land never seems to have been taught a lesson.
Her people were always as full of trust as ever
in every attempt. There was always some
body to abuse her, and the result wastotal and
humiliating defeat. But defeat and darknene
were always succeeded by hope and light.
They saw amid the ruins of their abbeys the
graves of their oppressed ancestors, the chaos
of counsels; and the, general degradation of
the country, a new and regenerated land
" some of these days. 7
" By Lough Neagh's banks when the fisherman
strays,
In the cold gray eve's declining,
lie sees the sound towers of other days
In the waves beneath him shining"—
wrote one of Ireland's most gifted bards, and
in it he expressed, in beautiful metaphor, the
exact feeling of his countrymen. They re.
member their 1100 greatness, and from the
gloom of the past, memories of old glorleS
spring up to inspire a desire for new, for
which there is a constant longing.
OROANIZATION TO OBTAIN THEM
The first complete organization of Irishmen
having in view the independence of Ireland,
which has attained any high grade of unity, is
the organization called the Fenian Brother
hood. How old it is in Ireland we cannot tell—
not seventeen years we know, for that brings
us to the date of the last revolutionary failure.
In this country it hashed an existence of about
eight years, during which time it has made a
great deal of progress, notwithstanding its
leaders are men of ne great mark or intellect.
It is divided into what are called "circles,'
each with a presiding officer elected by ballot,
who is called a " centre,mwho would, we sup
pose, in case of the resolution of the "circle"
into a military company, be its commanding
officer. All the "centres" are Subsidiary to a
common " Centre" in each State called the
"State centre," and these are in turn subsi
diary to a " head centre," whose headquarters
are at New York. John o , Mahony is "head
centre" in the United States, and James Gib
bons, of this city, State centre. There are
eight or nine " circles" in this city; and one in
nearly every county of the State. It is sup
posed there are from ten to fifteen thousand
Fenians in the State, and nearly one hundred
thousand over the whole Union. A revolution
in Ireland would much increase this number.
'PEELING OF FENIANI3 IN TUE tINITIID SITATES.
- - .
The Fenians here have carefully refrained
from any warlike act or acts looking to war.
Their aspect is that of a peaceful gathering,
although they do not make any secret of in;
tention of aiding Ireland, should the Untied
States engage in a war with Pngtand! There
seems to be no probability just now of such a
war, so that the revolution which is said to be
on the point of "exploding" may be a little
ill-timed. lie armed expedition can be allowed
to leave our shore to attack a country with
which we are at peace, so that all the organi
zations of the Eenians here would be of little
help to the sitter organizations in Ireland.
Perhaps the Fenian intend to slip over, and
thus raise a dispute between this country
and England, which they hope will eventually
end in war. But if they do hope so, they may
quite likely be deceived. They argue, how
ever, that the United States owe them a debt
of gratitude, for,.by the constant hostile atti
tude they held here and in Ireland prevented
England from mingling in, the recent great
struggle. d itlit the leaders of the order are not
of much 'Munt, and will, if allowed to con
trol its movements, only run it into the slough
of despond, where all Irish enterprises have
been run by leaders whohed only less prudence
forethought and ability than the people they
guided. The chief &a:lenity, however, the
order has now to contend with is that pre
sented by the Roman Catholic Church—
namely ; All the bishops of that denomination
in the, United, States have denotinCed the
BrOtherhOOd " in the strongest terms, read
ing it out •of. thnchurch, stigmatizing its po
litical and Social objects as dangerous and un
lawful, and warning all good Catholics to be
ware of it. Despite this the order goes on,
endeavoring to succeed, and if its pertinacity
is a virtne, deserving to. The recent news
makes it peculiarly terrible ; it is anxious for
the fray, like .the trained war-horse, and its
organ in this city, the UniveUc, teems with
exclamations points and obi urgations against
the Saxon, announcing a "revolution in Ire -
land," blessing it, and declaring that ,6 blodd
is thicker sometimes than water."
WHENCy. THE OTWEn DEnitna ire NAME.
pt. 22, 1805
• . .
We have read a great many theories on the
derivation of the name of the " Brotherhood,”
some deriving it from Fin AlcCouhal, or
hieCoumhal, a. Matt who had the power of
making himself invisible. But the most pro
bable is, that it comes from Finn or Flan, a
• Gaelic word, signifying a knight or armed sol
dier. We have the authority of a fine Gaelic
scholar tale assertion. An order eenteta
porary with the Druids bore this name, and
existed for Borne time after the conversion of
the island to Chistianity, figuring in the last
battle of Drina Boriomho, and when
.‘litaloohy were the collar of gold
That he won from the proud Invader: ,

A Stage Tragedy in Chicago.
A WONAX gg99TO HB4 HUSBAND AT WOOD'S
On Tuesday night last a tragedy occurred on
the stage of Wood's Theatre, Chicago, which
:aas not down on the bills. Just before the
perforMance commenced an actor, named
Beach, was shot by his wife for the following.
reasons:
About twelve months ago Beach eloped with
and married a daughter- of Mr. Alexander
Randall, of cbleago. The girl was only seven
teen years of age, with light eivrliiig hair, fair
complexion, blue eyes and was regarded as
very pretty. The parties only lived together
for a little while, the wife going to visit
some friends at Buffalo, and the husband
taking the poeitiegutility man" of
Wood's Theatre. Some months ago the Ilea
band said that he bad been to Buffalo in dis
guise and there found that his wife was living
in adulterous intercourse with another actor.
He came back and Bled a bill of divorce which
was printed in the newspapers. She seeing it
immediately returned to Chicago and expoS ,
tulated with him, promising if he would with
draw the bill she would again live with him.
This he consented to do, but a week or two
elapsed and he failed' to fulfil his pro
mise. She now threatened him and ex
acted another progilse that he would
comply with per wishes. Finding, aftet
a few days, that he had not done so she
loaded a pistol, put several cartridges in
in her pocket, and on Tuesday night went to
the theatre. Again she asked him to keep his
promise, and on receiving his refusal she tired
the pistol, the ball taking effect in the neck
of Beach, near the spinal column. She dropped
the pistol, and coolly walked away, but in a
few moments was arrested and taken to the
police station. On the road she chatted plea
santly, and smiled as if she had not been
guilty of any eyil deed. Some time afterward
her father visited the tstatieii-hOtiae, and ex
pressed a wish to - finish the Job if his daughter
had not done so. He was locked up. Beach,
although badly wounded, may recover.
THE CHOLERA,
ITS DISAPPEARANCE PROM T lIREBY-APP EAR
ANON IN PERSIA-STATISTICS FROM ITALY.
A letter from Constantinople, dated August
31, says:
II For upwards of a Week a regular diminu
tion of the prevailing epidemic has been
clearly perceptible, after a terrible increase
had taken place during the Greek fasts, but
mainly among persons of that nation. The
cause of the increase will be perfectly intelli
gible if it is remembered that during the fasts
no other food than decomposed or decompos
ing substances, such as eavaire dishes, pre
pared with oil, olives, salt Rah, lte., is allowed
to be consumed. In some Greek quarters the
number of the dead rose to so great a height
that the grave-diggers were not able to per
form their duties, and registration of the
number of deaths was abandoned. It was
singular that in consequence of putrid infec
tion, the symptoms of the disease assumed a
clearly typhoid character, such as had rarely
previously been the case.
" The Patriarch immediately gimo. isertnis.
Edon that more appropriate food might be con
sumed during the. fasts, but the fanaticism of
the Greek population was so extreme that his
right of even 'temporarily suspending so time
honored an InetUntion was vehemently de
nied. FahatieisK in Smgrrna was even more
rampant; in that city the archbishop was
nearly torn to pieces when he read the Pa
triarch's order. Fortunately the fasts are
now at an end, and the epidemic has also
greatly abated, n still, however, makes nu
merous victims in the Jewish quattera and in
the Farrar, as well as in various villages along.
the Bosphorus.
' , Having now to some extent recovered
from the universal panic which has 'prevailed.,
the Turkish public is i?eginning to look about
it, and count the losses which have been sus
tained. The Maronite bishop who arrived
here from the Lebanon with Daoud Pacha is
among the dead. The Kasnadar Usta, that is
Mistress of the Robes in.-the Sultan's palace,
and several ladies of the harem, have been
carried oft'. A conk who was attacked, and
whose decease was kept secret, carried the
disease into the palace. The court has in con
sequence dispersed in all directions, the Sul
tan having taken up his residence at the Udis
Kiosk, in the neighborhood of Ortakoi. The
gross total of the dead is said in the °Motel
reports, to be 41,000, but the bulletins pub.
lisped are all far too low. There have been
days upon - which the number ranged from.
1,500 to 2,000.
Our Nei" Servant.
BY GRACE GREENWOOD.
I think I must tell the children and their
Ulanlmes Of a wonderful servant we have had
for about two months past. She N not Irish,
or German, or African, but that exceedingly
rare bird, a genuine American servant—handy,
clever, and cute. -Her virtues are manifold.
In the first place, she is wonderfully quiet—
goes silently and steadily about her work,
doing all that is required of her " with neat
ness and despatch." She is good-tempered—
is never "on the rampage," never insolent,
never unkind to children. She has no .follow
era—never goes off without warning; never
wastes, never blunders, don't drink, and don't
break the eighth cormnandraent.
I call her a servant, but she. seems to me
more like a helpful friend, a kindly . com
panion ; and yet she is but a soulless thing,
after ail—a mere wonderful piece of human
mechanism ; she is—one of Willcox & Gibbs' ad,
mirabk Seiving Machines.
I was very late in availing myself of the ser
vices of this great, benifieent hanfi-maiden of
modern womanhood. I have longed for one
vaguely for years, and made many resolutions
to procure one, but have refrained, from pain
ful doubts of my own ability to manage a prom
ture that seemed to me so fearfuily and won
aerfully made." Being but modestly endowed
with mechanical ingenuity and insignt, 1
dreaded the trouble and vexation of learning
to work any machine, and mg inquiries of
Alends Were always for the most SilliPle in
vention. The weight of reliable evidence be
ing overwhelming for that of Willcox & Gibbs,
I at last decided upon it, proeured it, and am
more than satisfied.
I began my acquaintance with it with some
trepidation, but it soonput me quite at my
ease. We were capital frfeads at once, and, as
yet, have had no falling out., Togetherwe fell
right to work, and manufaetured an article of
elothing very creditably that, very morning.
The simplicity of this machine is only equal
led by the Waring aqeuracy with which it
works. Our little daughter, after a very few
trials, was able to manage it nicely, and the
two are now on excellent terms. The only
trouble is that mamma cannot supply work
fast enough. She laughs to see it hungrily de
vour the tedious long name which Were once
her aversion, and then lick up the little seams,
hems, tuck , and fells with such apparent
r e lish.

L. K. HOPKINS,
Acting Assistant Surgeon,
Dr. Hopkins further testified that he etzb
witted this report to Dr. White for, his signa
ture; the hitter said that it contained the
truth, and that he would sign it and send it to
General Winder; but he did not sign it, and
the witness did not know that anything had
been done to carry out the suggestions,
Judge Advocate Chipman then submitted a.
general order of General Winder, addressed to
Dr. Hopkins, to show that the Richmond an
tborities had knowledge of the condition of
