Our foreign mail brings us the full and true history of the insane nun, Barbara Ubryk, about whose long confinement in a common cell so many sensational articles have been written. We have before us two letters pub- lished in a Polish paper, and copied by the London Morning Post, one written in 1843 by Barbara to her sister, Leonie Ubryye three years af: ter her profession ; the other written in Augast, 1651, by Josepha Zaziars- ka, Abbess of the Carmelies, to Elea- nor Ubryk, concerning the mental de- rangement of her sister, These letters are authentic copies of the original on filein the hands of the commission ap- pointed to investigate the mat- ter. Besides other letters and newspa- per reports, we have also an official report made bya venerable priest, at the request of the imprisoned abbess, from whom it had been demanded by the Very Rvv. Alexander Jetowicki C. R., Miss. Ap. and Superior of the Polish Mission in Paris, and the origi- nal of which has been transmitted to the Holy Father. The factsset forth in his report have been collected with the greatest care and authénticated by ocular witnesses. The document be- ing too long for translation, we will lay before our readers a brief abstract showing the true facts of the case as it stands on record. Barbara Ubryk was born in 1817 in Czerniakow, near Warsaw. When quite a young girl she showed a great desire to embrace monastic life, and with this view entered the convent of the Visitation in Warsaw. There she gave indications of * insanity, which caused her removal. She then went to Cracow and =utered another con. vent of the same order, but the r turn of the symptoms of insanity again led to her rejection. In 1840 she entered the Convent of the Carmelites. These puns were kept in ignorance as to her malady. She went through her novi- tiate and made her profession. She was dearly beloved by the sisters, and her condict ‘was mest exemplary. This lasted six years, when she gave signs of mental alienation that fright- ened the community. The late’ Dr. Bawiezewski, attending physician of pronounced her insane, and called, in consultation Dr. Wroblewski, This physician, who is still living, made in- sanity a special study. He pronoun- ced her disease incurable, being one of the only hope was that if would assume a milder’ from las the patient grew older. Barbar’s madness became uncoh- trollable. She would tear her clothes to pieces and remain in a state of nu- dity, she hiroke evsry thing in the room even to the stove; she assaulted all who came near her, and addressed the most abusive and obscene language to everybody. It was found necessary to shut her up in a cell, distant from the habitation of the other nuns, for when the paroxysms came & | her remarks was unl There she would climb upon the windew sill, in a pude state; and, holding on to the iron bar, would address all who came in sight in. the vilest, language. It then became nécessary t6 wall upthe lower part of the window, This work ‘was performed by = Casimir Greg- goreczyk, then sacristan of the con- ty yesrs, Thifold man, who enjoys {2nd unblemished reputation, appeared asa wtiness before the commission, with Bdrbara’s insanity and’ the kind | treatment she received from the deep- ly grieved nuns. Although this sad , affair was not made public, it was no secret. The neighbors, the servents of the convent, the other religious knew all about it. ‘We have'seen that Barbara’ family corresponded with the address on the subject. ‘Her two sisters have been examined by the commission, and cor- roborate these facts, Itis admitted that insanity is hereditary in their family, It was deenied better to keep the poor woman in the convent than to send her to an asylum where she could ‘not have been better cared for. Nor did the nuns act without superior ad- vices. They consulted the late Bishop Letowski, administrator of the diocese, whose advice was that they should bear with patient discretion this great affliction, since God had This correspondence is on record. Bishop Gladysewicz, who adwinister- —— ——— Bishop Letowski's death, in 1868, was also informed of these facts, as was al- #0 the late Very Rey. Father Hanzet, General of the Carmelites. His ‘Grace Bishop Galeski has but recently taken charge of the diocese, and knew noth- ing of this, It is not surprising, therefore, that when ‘upon the invitation 'of thé tribu- nal he accompanied the officials sent to examine the convent and found a woman naked and ins bare cell, he should have reproached the nuns with theircruelty, The infidel party have made capital of these words’ef virtu. ous indignation, But the sequel has shown how little the reproach was merited, and the bishop regrets the words so hastily spoken. Barbara Ubryk is still in the hospital; her health is as good as it ever was; no marks of ill treatment have been de- tected on her person. She eats vora- ciously—in the convent she had to be fed five times a day—but shé will nei- ther suffer clothing upon = her body nor sleep in a bed, and she seandalizes all who approach her during her fits by the obscenity of her language. . The case is clear ; the facts are sup- stantiated by unimpeachable evidence, and yet on the4th of August, the Su- perioress (who is dangerously ill) and another hun arrested at the «ame time, were stif-eonfined in narrow and filthy cells, worse than that perhaps in which Barbara was shut up, and must remain there untill the commisison closes an investigation which must redound to their honor and establish theie inno- cence. Such is the trub history of this al. leged case of cruelty invented as a pretexet to persecute the church. On the night of the arrest a riotous mob, instigated by revolutionary leaders, sacked the Jesuits College, situated in the neighborhood of the convent. The reverend fathers had barely time to escape. One of them, Father Baw. orowski, an octogenarian, was beaten with clubs sid his arm broken by a blow from an iron bar ; he was left for dead, and it is doubtful that he can survive his injupies. Several convents and religious in- stitutions were attacked, and one, the Convent of Norbertine Nuns almost entirely destroyed. The troops were called out, and succeeded, after the greatest difficulty, in ‘arresting a few rioters and dispersing the mob. ¥ The popular excitement has abated now that the truth is becoming known; but the enemies of the church, al- though foiled in this attempt, have not given up the struggle ; they are very active circulatinga petition addressed to the Vienna Diet, asking the sup- pression of all Orders end convents, or at least of the Jesuits and Carmelites of Gracow.— Catholic Mirror, copied into Philadelphia Ledger. Horrible Death by a Railroad cident. The accident on the South Carolina railroad, a few days ago, caused by the breaking of a portion of the trestle over the Congaree river, has been men- tioned by telegraph. The particulars represent that ten freight cars and the contents - were burnt, but the two coaches, filled with passengers, escaped injury. Sad to relate, the engineer, Mr. A. 8, Hargrave, was burned alive, i es Gilbert, was al : body, like that of the engineer, was burnt almost to a cinder. , The terrible death of the en- gineer is thus related by an eye wit- Ac- : “Some of the train hands now pro- ceeded to the engine, where the sight that met their view was terrible, The engineer, Mr. A. 8, Hargrave, in at- tempting to reverse the engine, had been caught between the quadrant and the frame, and was crushed down be- neath the weight of a mass of ruins, perfectly sensible, within the reach of his companions, but most horrible to say, placed in such a position that it was impossible to remove him, Mr, Gilbert, the fireman, had been instant- ly killed by the full, and his remains were not discovered until the flames had been subdued. Mr. Symes and others now approached the engineer, and endeavored in vain to extricate him, but seeing the impossibility of do- ing so, went in search of assistance. The flames, which ere now approach- 4 October 8th, 1869. —____~. " a man, a8 if to mock * his agony. He called to Mr. Symes, ‘Oh, Tom, come here!” His friend approached, and asked if he could do anything for him. He replied in calm ‘tones, while the flames were licking his flesh, “No, i is too late ; you can’t do anything for me but tell my family how I died, and that nothing could be done for me. He then sent a message to his wife, folded his arms upon his breast, and died a slow, lingering, torturing, death without a struggle, save when an in- voluntary shriek was wrung from his lips by the fierce torture of the devour- ing element. His friends and a num- ber of the passengers could only stand by and shed tears, utterly powerless to render the least assistance. Mr. Har grave was about thirty four years old, and during a term of twenty years, in which he has served the company, was universally respected and esteemed. He leaves a wife and child.” > ti fy fp fp Demoralization of Modern Dress— Why Men Do Not Marry. Much of the carcless morality of the present day is owing to the way in which women dress, There is no cav- iling at the fact or pretending to ig nore it, but the moderately dressed wife and mother is fast disappearing from our homes. The domestic daughter has long since become un myth, and in her place we have a creature of hair and humps—wasp hips, Grecian ben- ded, high heeled, chignoned young la- and writes herself “Marie” or “Julia,” and vho is a complete success in doing nothing, and knowing nothing except the slang literature of the day. This model of young womanhood has a splendid wardrobe, a waist that meas. ures eighteen inches, and a lover with tight pantaloons and a side whisker whom she marries under the protest that if she sees some one that she likes better she need not cleave to him any longer, knowing as well as you and I do that divorces ean be procured with- out publicity. ~ She wouldu't have any children for the world—ean’t endure the trouble-—should die, &co—the only sensible thing she was likely to do. You can see her any day on the side walk, or in a carriage —often at church and always at the opera—and she is the representative of a large class, not wicked or intentionally immoral, but oh! so weak with that overburden of dry goods, laces, jewelry, enough te crush out any better principle that might assert itself. Over dressing de- moralizes a wowan. It takes from her that purity of thought and character, the high prerogatives of a perfect life, which is her legitimate birth right, and she sells it for a mess of pottage, It opens the avenues of her soul to a thousand destroying influences, and leads her by silken tendrils over into the valley of the shadow of death. I think of this when I see mothers help- ing their little ones into the thraldom; I thought of it last Sunday, as I glan- ced from the chapel-master, in his robes to a baby worshipper in blue silk, en pannier, all ruffles and folds, and Grecian bend—to the white hat, with its cluster of mature red roses—to the siholl wrists clasped in jewelled bands —to the shapely baby finger heaped with diamonds. TI looked at the soft, pale, golden hair, arranged just like mamma 's—to the white brow on which the lace hat so properly rested—to the clear cut features of the muture, pre- cocious face, luminous with seven years wisdom, and I could not reiterate the good man’s assertion : “Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven,” : It seemed, to the reason young men do not marry is because girls have ceased to be domes. tic, and spend a great deal of money upon dress, They are not contented to live in a quiet way, and dress mod- erately ; they must go out, dress and ride, aad frequent places of amusement; have suppers and bouquets, and re- ceive adulation. It costs a great deal of money, which the young man fur. nishes, and he never gets abead enough to marry ; so they repent and try their luck over again. It is the easiest thing in the world to do with less luxury, but it involves a little self sacrifice and economy, and these virtues are fast becoming exotics. Fully one half of the girls who are now filling situations in stores, offices, etc., gn there in the first place in order to be able ta dress better, They live in plain but comfur- table homes, and must help with the housework or the children of their own kin; but they hear glowing accounts of the city ; they Want the finery that 1s denied them, and they want to: go from these peaceful home-lives, from the kind guardianship of parents, to the toil and. temptations of the ten hour system, They go plain country girls, with modest, blushing cheeks and smooth shining hair.. They stay there a year or two, and their cheeks’ are pale and their hair frizzed. They have lost the gaucherie of blushing and are bold at repartee. They dress somehow; but they have hours of despondency that makes them old. It is one long struggle with labor and temptation, and how they preserve their integrity God only knows. ‘Now, would net these girls be happier as the wives : of farmers or mechanics?’ Would not one word of genuine love outweigh a ton of admiration? Would not the smile of a little child Be” a thousand times better than the gaze of ‘a liber tine? Is it not easier to work forone's self than for strangers? to ‘feel "that you are a king in’ your castle, if it is only a oné story Cottage? ‘Woman's independence will work a deadlier wrong than any bond she has ever worn. When she steps beyond the fiir threshold of womanly power—the the archetypal home where God has made her supreme, to fight the demons of political or commercial life, she Jays down a sceptre to take up a chain whose iron canker will eat into her soul. That was a true and beautiful reply which one of our strongest adyo- cates of suffrage in this city gave to a gentleman who called on her at her office and demanded to know the meaning of Woman's Rights. She looked up with a troubled face—the face of a delicate, thoughtful woman— from the pile of exchanges and manu- scripts which lay before her, and an- swered with earnest solemnity, “I can give you its entire ‘definition at this moment in two words, “Home and Peace.—~[Chicago Tribune.] en meee Sp eps DEAD NATION. Relics of Ancient Civilization in the Heart of Africa. A writer in the Natal Mercury, un- der the date of Feb, 2, 1869, says, when treating of the ‘ruins. of Sim- baoe : : : A day’s march: from ;Andowa, be- tween two hills, at the end of a vast and fertile valley, are the ruins of Ax- um. To this incredibie flights of stone steps conduct the traveler up to the are found deep grottoes and vast halls, cut out of the rock and ornamented with columns. There, according to tomb of the Queen of Saba. The ad: joining valley, shaded by majestic trees is filled by the remains of the city, con- sisting of huge blocks of stone. Very little of the debris reveal their former purpose. There may, however, be dis- tinguished two groups of fourteen: or fifteen obelisks, thrown down, Seven of them are covered with: ornaments, and are not Jess than thirty six feet in length. These master-pieces of ancient architecture reveal to us the fact of an ancient civilization in the heart of Af: rica, which has disappeared again thousands of years since, Neibuhr tells us of a mighty Abyssinian empire existing here, me¢ntioning in particular Saba, and says that it was so powerful that even the Roman and Partheian strength could not prevail against it. ‘Dhis last statement was taken from a Greek inscription found among the ruins, engraved in stone. On the re- verse side is another engraving in some ancient language, which has not yet been deciphered. The savage tribes guard these ruins with jealous care. No living animal is allowed to be killed in them, no tree permitted to be destroyed, everything connected with them being held sacred, as. belonging either to a good or evil power. A mis- sionary, who penetrated-within a short distance of the ruins, writes: “In this country were also found some very old guns, in a hole in the mountain. We got one of the locks of these guns, and found it to have a wheel outside, with that they came from these ruins. The Basutos often tell us, when asked if they acknowledged God, about the bi stones in Banyai, where all crea things are to be seen, even sphinxes, pyramid-shaped buildings abd cata- combs,” y tres n en “IUDPGE PACKER'S LOYALTY—HIS OF« FER .TO THE EMPLOYERS OF THE LE- HIGH VALLRY RAILROAD—THOSE WHO ENLIST T0 RECEIVE THEIR PAY ~AT HOME AND THEIR SITUATIONS.
