.. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. JANUARY 14, 1877—SIXTEEN PAGES, reschea the age of 30 tobe cligible to the office. servia is aivided irto ciehteen departments, ixty sub-departments, and 1,049 communes. Fach depsrtinent i zdministered by a Nalch- oty au ofliver whose pusition sumewhat re- Cembles that of a United States Marshal, but fs qmore like the French Prefet. Heis head of the police; 1he post-oflices, telegraph, ete. The gub-department is merely a division of the de- Sartment made for purposes of convenience. The villaze communes are a relic of Slavonic {nstitutions, and ure almost identical with those of Russis. 1n cach communc the Jocal govern- tpent i¢ administered by a public meeting called 3 Stupe, which is thus described by a Servian wTil Tsch Snnday all the lieas of honscs congregrte 1o form & Staye, The assembly s held jn the a2, aud 1ssis four ordive honre, In the centre ounded by the Sfartsi (clders). aed by these_cspert elders, assisted by his two Asisnte, snd controlled by all the heads of B the Kmete publicly judges the disputes of the silla dcliberates With them on all the e of the village. and reads the decrecs of the Ehverment. which cach head of a family com- ‘pronicates 10 bis bouschotd. Another institution peculiar to Servia is the Zadroga. It is a social brotherhood, consisting of several families, usually united by tics of Pood or marriage, Who combine to form one family. or rather community. Goods are held gnd land is titled in common, and the oldestman pecormes the Starchina, the head of the house. The Zadroga seldom contains more than fifty percons: it was probably first formed for pro- tection against the Dahis, or resident Lurkish oflicials. The Skupe chooses the tax-assessors, but all other appointments are made by the Prince. The Skupe atso decides cases at law in- Jolving sums less than $10. Beyond that, cases must go into the County Courts. The punishments in_criminal cases are mot gevere; and show much more humanity than the Turkish code. For instance, when the Turks ruled in Servia, crimivals were put to death by hurling them over an embankment 1en feet high upon half-a-dozen upright pikes, 1f the poor devil was not killed by this handling, 1< very often happenea,he wasleft impaled upon thespikesuntil he died. This was sometimes for severaldaye. Lessthanten yearsagoonemanlay there for five days before death came to his re- lief, and for forty-cizht hours his screams of sgony were 6o loud that they could be heard, especially in the stillness of night, half over the City of Belgrade, on whose outskirts the affair heppencd. Since the Servians have had the ad- ministration of their owa laws, criminals con- demned to death are shot, after being made up- roariously drunk. This may be considered worse for the souls of the unfortunates than the old code, as not allowing them time to repent, bt it is decidedly casier on their bodies. Popular education is not in a very formard state in Servia, but steps have been taken of late 10 create a thorouch system of national instruc- tion. There are now 3818 primdYy schools, ten cecondary, and three universities: these contain 400 masters, and more than 16,000 pupils. All thisin the face of the fact that there has been 1o educated Siavie class, either at home or stroad, from which the nation could draw its fnstruction. There are 1o railroads in Servia, but one is projected from Belgrade to Nieh, and work bad Txen beun upon it before the outbreak of diffi- culties in the Province. There is an ageregate Jeoytk of over 900 miles of telegraph in opera- tion; there are also postal facilities, but these are irregulsr. The country is mountainous, but the vallers sre verr fertile, and hillsand valleys are covered with a heavy growth of timber. Large droves of swive feed upon the acorns and nuts, and these form the chief product of the country. Another branch of trade i3 the picking and pre- parivz of plums. These are dried jinto prunes @=vurding to a recine known only to the natives, aud form a staple article of export. Wheat and maise are siso raised. The food of the people is mainly veretarian. The Servisn is tell and strong, of dark and swarthy complexion, his clearcut features ftamped with manly enesgy. The women are Leatiful when young, but soon lose their good sooke. They marry at about the age of 14, and. as §s the case in most half<ivil- ized countrics, perform most of the drudgery of the fagn work. The people belong mainiy 10 the Gréek Church; but althoush the religious feeling !¢ strong there s mach laxity of morals. of the Chareh are as devoutly ob- d those of differcut sects abhorred, B zands 2s the priest himsclf. But the Servians have loag been an oppressed race. If they bave learned robbery and cruelty, treach- ers and tyranny, they have learned them of their rulers, and practice them, not on their fellow-Christiaps, - but upon Turks and foreigmers. Bulgaris is merely an extension of Servia, £tll under Turkish rule. Bulgaria was con- qaered about the same time as Servia, but for 3 long while preserved her autonomy, paying tribute to the Sultan. But the Turkish office- scekers demanded spoils, and the remnant of BAulgz:flm liberty was overthrown, and the land Eiven over to the Dahis. The Greek Church was dominant here too; but as the Sultan appoints l‘:!u]]‘ebupslhu(‘hufl'h haslost muchof theaffee- tioa of the people. The country is rolling; the Lills and valleys both are fertile, and the climate fsdelightfal. " The chief praductions are cotton, silk, and corn. But the curse of 2 bad Govern- ment Das well-nigh blasted the land. Taxation wight have impoverished the people, but only the arbitrary oppression of the Dahis could have sodemoralized them. They are reckless and improvideat, indolently neglecting the opportu- hities of wealth ofered in the possession of so ltru_lumuntr_v, since, if 2 manis supposed to bericher than nis neighbors, he is forthwith sineled out for a special fleccing. T}ivm are quite a number of schools in Bul- Faria sothat the people are pot uneducated; but the youth of spirit usually finishes nls wurse with a few vears among the brigands. After ke has sown his wild oats in this way he feturne 1o his native village with eclat. Some- Lmes the Turks catch him and crucify him; but be bas 10 risk that. The northern part of Roumelia is peopled by " fame race as Bulgaria: the southern part m..ml)_' by Mabometans. The country is hilly £2d wild, and brigands flourish among its moun- tein fastnesses. m”k‘u):.

The Janissaries were recruited 1ror'n Christian children, who were teken from their parents and trained up in the Moslem faith for that purpose. But this practice they were forced to give up some time ago. The army now contaius, in the reular force and militia, about 700,000 men. The dependencics are expected to furnish 100,000 more. The navy consists of 21 iron-clads, 5 frigates, 5 corvettes, 6 monitors, 6 galleys, and 99 trans- ports: Thesc are manned by 30,000 sailors and 4,000 marines. C. PERSONAL.

CUBA. THE MOCTEZUMA BURNED. Wasmngros, D. C., Jan. 13.—A telegram from Havapa says that the Spanish merchant steemer Moctezuma, captured by the Cuban in- surgents, was burned on the approach of the Spanish war steamer Jorje Juan, and her cap- tors fled to the Venezuelan coast. The Jorje Juan picked up twenty-four of the crew of the Moctezumsa kept on board as prisoners by the Cubans. By a later telegram from Havana it appears that the Jorge Juan was cruising along the Mos- q;ll:"fo Coast, Nicarazua, when she espied and chased the Moctezuma, which ~ sought refuge_in Broginan Bay. When the Jorje Juan entercd the Bay the Moctezuma was in flames. Her captors, numbering nine persons, took to the boats. . The former crew of the Moctezuma. +were also in boats, awaiting the arrival of tbe Jorje Juan, which picked them up and brought them to Havana, and sailed immediately for Cienfuegos. ITALY.

TaperiaL CAxtr, Dec. 24.—During last week the final preparations have been proceeding rapidly. All the arrangements bad been com- pleted by yesterday, when the Viceroy's State entry marked the beginning of the Imperial assembly. The cauvas city which has sprung up round Dulli covers an ex- tent of seven or eight miles. It lies for most part to the northand west of the ridge, but some few camps are placed between the ridge and the town. The largest of the latter is that of the Nizam. The young Prince himself occupies Metealfe-house. His retainers spread over rearly a mile to the north and south. Next comes the Maharajah of Mysore, Whose camp {s more modest In size; and, next to him the Gackwar, whose famous gold and silver guns attract many visitors. Qutside the Cashmere Gate arc visitors and the Punjab civil officers’ camps. Immediately be- Yond these i, perhaps, the most striking of all the encampments,—that of the Maharajah of Cashmere. Its extent is small compared with that of some others, but the costumes of the retainers, the cuirassiers, snd men in chain ‘mail, give an idca of barbaric pomp and splen- dor which 1s unsurpassed by any of the Chiefs. The interior of the Maha- rajult’s tent fs lined with the finest Cashmere shawls, and is said to be very berutiful. Unfor tunately, it is not open to inspection now; but 3 few who saw it before the Chicf wrrived speak of it as a sizht to belong remembered. The wa- Jority of the official camps arc heyond the ridze, ear the site of the old cantunments, and just be- Jow the spotwhere the Delhi force Iy during the siege. They are nearly all arranged on out plan. Imazine = gigantic letter T. The perpendicu- Jar line represents o wide street with teuts on each side. The road is iu the iniddle, and there i5a boad turf border between the roud and the tents. The horizontal line is a smaller street on the same plan. At the point of iutersection there is u large open space ornsmented with flowers and sbrubs, and a flag- Staff in the centrc. Focing the main street and flagstafl 15 the prizapal tent of the camp. The Viceroy's cawp, of course _the larg- st chs in a line with the faestafl tower on the ridge. Its main street, which is flr:.’y or sixty Yards wide, consists of tents occupied by mem- bers of the Council _and the Viccroyss guests. Guns and piles of shot are vlaced at intervals. Round the flagstaff a mass of greencry, facing which and looking down the street towards the ridge are the Viceroy’s State tents. The . camps of the Governors of Madras and Bombay arc situnted, the former ‘on the right and the latter on the left of the Viceroy. Beyond the camp of the Governor of Bombay lie'the camps_of the Livutenant-Governors of Bengal, the Northwes* Provinces and the Pun- jab.” Various Chief Commissioners and the Governor-General’s agents are close at hand. Although the Viceroy's camp is most striking Jrom - its cxtent, the palm of beauty must be essizned to that of the Lieutenaut- Governor uf the Northwest Provinces. It is Thardly possible to conceive more perfect taste than is displayed in Sir George Couper’s ar- Tangements. Smooth_turf and a prolusion of flowers and shrubs make this camp look like a bit of fairyland. The Bengal camp s less suc- cessful. The main feature is an enor- mous Shamipah, or awning of red cloth, Tung with chandéliers, pitched right in front of ‘and Torming a vestibule to Sir Richard Temple's tent. The Shamipah is certainly conspicuous, and affords an excellent landmark for wander ers, but secms out of place and overgaud; The Commanders-in-Chief of India and Bom:- bay are placed nesr the Viceroy, where is the £pot also reserved for the Commander-un-Chief of Madras, which is unoccupied, as Gen. Cham- beriain declincd theinvitation. These camps are in the syme T sbape. Close yare the tents of the Viceroy's escort—nanely, the Body Guard, a battery of Horse Artillery, the ‘Twelfth Hus- sars, the Third Bombay Cavairy, the Sixticth TFoof, aud the Eleventh Madras Native In- fantry. The remaiader of the military force is encamped by aivisions in varions positions be- hind the Native Chicis, cxcept the four men- tioned avove. They are arrauged in groups, according to the parts of the coun- try irom which ~ they come. These groups number eight—naincly,” the Chiefs of Madras, Bombay, Northwest Pro- vinces, the Punjeb, Central India, Rajpootana, the Central Proviuces, and Oude. Then there are the miscellancous camps, including those of foreign Consuls, attaches, the European press, tne native press, the police, the telearaph, and TPost-Office, the visitors, aud the Bengal native gentler en. he_Imperial dais, where the ceremony on New-Year's Day is to be held, is on the Da- heerpore Plain, about three miles from the Vice- roy’s camp. Itis still far from L'Om{)lctc, anditis Qilticult in its present state to_judge of the ap- pearance it will prescut when finished. The Fencral idea scems to be a dias with canopy sur- Hounted by an Imperial erown. The seats are arraneed in sesments of a_circle, inclosing an amphitheatre of considerable diameter. “To avoid auv questions about prudence, each of the greater Chiefs will have a separate entrance to Liis seat, and will thus be spared the humiliation of secing arival Zo fu before him. The fe: may besaid tohave commenced on Friday, when the Commander-in-Chief re- SHewed the treops on Daheerpore Plain. Asa general rule, there is much sarheness in re- views, and this no exception. There was the march past, which marks all spectacles of the kind, foliowed as usual by a trot and allop past of horse artillery and cavalry, and fhen the troops returned io their quarters. Except that the force is larger, and composed of more varicd elements, onc often sces nothing to distinguish a_porade’ from an ordinary field- day. . About 15,000 men were on the ground, in-" Cliding regiments from all three Presidencies, two batterics of horse, six. of field, and one of mounted artillery. The last, with their little Zuns carried_on mules, looked most work- fanlike. The _ cavalty, rcpresented by the Tenth, Eleventh, and Tifteent Tlussars, and several native reziments of Hus- sars, marched well, but some of the native squadrons seemed very loose. The first infantry regiment to pass was the SixthFoot. - The fu- fantry regiments which attracted most attention were the Sixticth Rifles, the Ninety-second Hiehlanders, and the Sccond and Third Goor- khas. The first two certainly marched more steadily than any othiercorps on the fleld. The Tittle Goorklias looked fitto gounywhere and do anything. "The Imperial assemblage began vesterday with the State entry of the Vieeroy. Two o'clock was the time fixed for his -arrival, but from early morning the roads were crowded with troops. ‘The native Chiefs and their fol- Jowings were hastening to take up the positions allotted to them along the line of procession, and the spectators were trying to reach sowmc poiut which gave a “good view of the Jine of mareh. The route for the procession was from the railway station along the Queen’s road, the Lothian road, the road from the Jumna Mus}id, throueh Duriba and Chandee Rowk Stroot, then leaving the city to proceed by the Grand Trunk road to the Ridze, and along the Ridee to the Flagstaff Tower, thence to the camp. The greater Chicts, with their retinues and _ clephants, lined ~the Ridge road. The Princes of Rajpootana were drawn up near the railway station. The view from the terraced roof of the Jumma Musjid for an Lour before the procession passed was most striking. The space in front of the old fort of Selimghur, between the fort and the Mus, id, the plain was crowded with spectators. The Musjid Steps were closcly packed with _patives, whose Variously colored turbans and dresses gave the appearance of a gigantic bouquet of flowers. The Toad across the plain was lined on one side with artillery and on the other with uative cavalry. Barely discernible in the distance the gorgeous- 1y-caparisoned ele{)h:mts and quamntly-dressed tToopers of the Rajpoot chiefs were gronped round the entrance of the station behind the Tarrow and crowded streets of the native city. At 2 o'clock precisely a Roval salute from the fort announced the Viceroy’s arrival, In half-an-hour later another ~salute told us the procession was begioniug to wmove. A little longer and the head of the columnn came in sight, advancing up the road towards the Musjid. ' First came the Deputs-Assistant Quar- termaster-Geueral, next the Elev.nth Hussars, the A battery of horse-urtillery, and a regiment of Bombay cavalry, zay in blué and sitver. Some stafl offivers followed, and then appeared & per- jously Jooked for by us all, T mean Maj. Barnes, the Chief Ierald. The Tmperial As- mblage selected him for that important post— <o, at least, the Indian papers say—by reason of it being the biggest officer in thie army. What his exact height nay be [ do not know, but. sit- tingon horseback e did not seem greatly to surpass the vrdinary stature. But if there be any deficiency in his_ inches his gorzeous dress made ample mmends. To deseribe it properly would require a _knowledge of herald nomenclature which T do not possess. Suflice it tosay that so long as he remained in sight he was ihe cynosure of ail eves, and :the _glory of The Viceroy, The native ehiefs scewed palé and 1usipid beside him. In attendance on ) Barnes were his twelve trumpeters, six E ropeans and - six batives, i on fine eray_ horses, and riding Ly threes, the Europeans and natives al- ternately, like squares ina chess-board. Their dresses were on the same model as that of the Tiel Herald, but, of course, fur inferior in point of splendor, sud. the little peaked jockey Laps which the Earopeans wore must havé made them supremely uncomfortable in the full blaze of au Indian sun. Following the Chicf Herald and trumpeters came u detachment of that slendid body of men the Body Guard, the flower of the native cavalry, and immediately pehind, seated ina glittering howdah on the'back ofa magpificent tusker elephant, apoeared the Viceroy and Lady Lytton. A wilt umbrella was held over their heads, and au attendant seated behind waved off imaginary fiies with a brush made of ayak tail. This seemms to be a necessary adjunct to all Ori- ental pomp, and though it may look well, it \¥as iardly necessary yesterday. The Viceregal elephant, as has been said, Was a magnificent tusker, and hie appeured to bave a_fair idea of his own ce. Instead of walking on quietly and_steadily, as a_well-conducted el- phant should, be would fnsist upon stopping cvers now and then and taking “a look round. or could anything persuade him to move until he lad satisfled his curiosity. The result was that every few minutes the “halt? had to be sounded, so as to preserve the line of procession unbroken. ~ As the Viceroy passed Musjid he was received well bY the na- BiVes. All seemed excited, but_there was no clecring Tais, bowever, is n_t to be wondered at. ‘The natives ere not given to, express their feelines in our manner, and the silence of the crowd i not in itself any mark of disloyalty. The next elephant carried two little girls, daughters of the Viceroy, who secmed to enjoy the affair greatly, though I dare say they were Very tired before the end of the three hours’.ride. ~ Behind then came the re- mainder of the Body Guard and a squadron of the Tenth Hussars; theu the three Licutenant- (Governors, each on an clephant, and cach at- tended by bis stall; next the members of the Council, the _Secretaries to the Govern- ment, and _the Chief Justices of Bengal and _ the Northwestern Provinces; then solahtopees, looking singularly out of place fo their judicial robes. ~ Lastly, there came & wumber of native Chicfs, their “elephants paint~ ed with all the colors of the rainbow, and lit- tering with eold and silver trappings. Their attendants, arrsyed in fantastic dresses, formed 2 contused but picturesque group. The ‘procession wound slowly through the tortuous strects of the pative’ town, and converging from the city reached the ridge and turned rds the north, passing along a road lined towa by the elephants and retainers of the great Chiefs Swindial, Holkar, the Gaekwar, the Nizam ol ore, and others. When it arrived at the flagstafl at _the tower it turned sharply off to the left, and, descending from the ridge, advanced up the main strect of the Viceroy's camp about 5 o'clock. A few minutes before sunset a royal salute, the third fired during the Qay, marked the arrival of the Viceregal cortege at the end of its journey. No programme has yet been issued for this weelc; but it is generally believed it will be chiefly occupied by the Viceroy in receiving and Teturning the visits of native Chiefs, and in giving cntertainments. There is to be a levee ©on Tuesday, & grand Teview on tbe 5th, aud races on the 2d and 3d. Bevond this nothing is scttled or, at least, announced to the public, except, of course, that the Proclamation will be made at noon on the 1st at the dais on Daheer- pore Plain. SPAIN. INUSDATION AT SEVILLE. London Iimes, Dec. 28, 1 4 Resident of Seville” writes to us under date Seville, Dec. 18: % We have just been yisited by the largest in- undation known in_Seille since 1796. The Gusdalquivir which; for more than a mile, runs close to the houses of Seville, is lere in ordinary tines abont =ns broad as the Thames at Richmond, althongh very much dceper. Already, at the end of November gwollen by the heavy rains. it showed signs of rising, the carrent gradually iucressed, and the vessels had to be doubly sceured to the quays. By the 4th of this month the water had risen bove the drains which empty into the river. These had, _thercfore,” 1o be closed to prevent the water from risinz up through them into the t0#D, of which many parts are no bigher than the ordinary level of the river. Atter this, of course, all the rain that {fell in the town remained there. the quays Were under water, not! Toufs of the quay storing-houses, sonie crancs, - and the engine funncl and tops of the trucks of a_goods train which had been left there being visible. DBoth above and below Seville miles of land were under water.. The view from the old Moorish Tower, the Giralda, of the Seville Cathedral was most imposing. Thetown scemed 10 be almost surrounded by water, the railway Tine to Cordova still, however, protecting the districts north of Seville, as it runs on tiic top of an embankment along the left bank of the Guadalquivir. Al the right bank.was, how- ever, under water as far as the . eye could reach, and due south there was no land to be scen. - Oppasite Seville, on the right bank, is a larze suburb, called Triana, where the poorer people, and especially the gypsies, live. A handsome iron and ston¢ bridge joins it toScville. By the 9thinst. Triana, which lies low, was completely inundated, there being five fect of water in the principal street. Here, as the people arc poor, und had no provisions in the houscs, the distress was very grest, especially in the outskirts. Beiore bread could be bought by the mun ipal{ authorities and taken about itt boats tu the ‘people—who were, of course, utterly helpl beiug to all intents aud purposes so many prisohers—many a family of little ones was on the point of starvation. “The river was territic —a yard ligher than it was on the nizht of the Oth inost, and it would hayve reached the top of the centre arch of the bridge. Already, iu the morning the latter had been pronounced unsafe by the authorities, and soldiers hiad been plazed to prevent any one not carrying food from crossing. Crowds bad col- lected to see the river rushing past, bearing down trees, dead cattle, poultry coops, staclsof straw, light househiold furniture of every de- seription, smashed boats, hundreds of railway sleepers, and even live animals, for I saw a fox 0 past on the top of a stack of brushwood. + Gradually it dawned on the Sevillunos that they were guing to share the same fate os their poorer townsmen on the other side of the river, some of the lower streets beine already filled with rain water that was falling in the town, for, us the sewers were closed, it had 1o escape, On'the evening of the 9th theonly thing that kept the river out of the town was the barricade of vplanks and mapure which the suthorities had run up at the ends of all the streets leading from the river, and then the railway embankment already men- tioned. By midnight every bouse in the lower parts of the town had its doorway dammed up 2 yard high, each houscholder thinking that, at any rate, he would be safe. Hardly one was right though, for in many houses”the water was flve or six fect deep in the lall, far higher than the wildest fears. At 3 in the morningof the 10th the railway embankment burst with the pressure of the river, about a mile above Seville, and by 8 o'clock half the town was inundated. Most people had 1o time, although rouscd by the watchmen, to remove all their household “zoods to the upper stories. Anything left down below was irretrievably spoilt, as the water, having rushed over ploughed land, was so _impregnated with sofl as hardly to nerit the nawie. Luc about the same time that the railway embank- ment bnrst, the river betran to decrease, and by the middle of the day bad fallen a yard, or iu- stead of having two yards of water in tke streets we should have'had three. The amount of people mow sbut up in their houses was much greater than on the two previous days in Triana; and as Seville is bulit in o sort of saucer, and has its quays, etc., on hizherground, thewater, oncein the town, could oniyleave it by the drains, which could, of course, mot Le opened till the niver had returned to its proper Ievel, which was not till the 13th inst. The peo- ple were, therefore, helpless prisoners, depend- ent, toa great cxtent, on the municipality for nearly five days. One’ day I lent my services, and was given the charge of a boat for the pur- pose of discributing bread and helping the Leo- ple in the tallng houses to escape—for dozens of louses fell from having their foundations loosened Ly thie water. The first thing required of us was to row through all the inundated parts with a doctor, for many chil- dren were suffering from the effects of danp and hunger. This did not take us wmorc than a couple of hours, as all the people were fn their balconies and on the flat Louse-tops, and we were able to make inguiries ~ without stopping. When we found u house with sickness we were geuerally able to row inat the front door and land the doctor on the stairs, mooring to the banisters. After this service, we were ealled upon by loud eries for lelp to extricate a poor family of some dozen persons from their house which was be- ginning to fall. ‘The scene was most Leartrend- ing, for the women, worked up intoa fearful Staie of excitement, could bardly be got to leave their tottering home. A couple fainted; it the rest had followed suit, we should soon bave embarked the whole family, How- ever, at last, atter some half an tour’s shout- ing—for it was the ouly way of makiug onesell heard above the din of screamivg and erving women, squallinge children, and eXcited men— o wereable topush off and land our homeless passengers in the nearest ary street. The prin- t 3 =3 H Sipal work of the day was the distribu- tion of the town bread. Having the boat we atonce piled up above the thwart with brea proceeded to the poorest quarters. Some of the scenes there are scenes never to_be forgot- ten. As soon as weappeared around the corner of a street, the uproar that burst forth iwas something unbearable. Imagiue a couple of Tundred people, chicfly women, yellin at. once different grievances. about “pan” and “hambre,” which means “brezd? and *hun- ger,” and each person having a basket attached fo o string whichwas let down aud swung about our ears as we passed below. The mode of pro- cedure was to ask the number of persons in the family, and then give bread accordingly. Nearly everyhody had eight chiliren, strange to say— few were modest enough to say six. Four days have now pussed since the river returned toits natural Ievel aud the water was Jet out of the town, but mauy strects are still half full of the filthy brown mud, and it will be weeks before it can be got all out of the houses. The rise of the river above the highest tides was twenty-five to thirty feet. Most of the vessels alone the quayshad asmany 23 eight cables out. Wiien the joundation was at its height mauy of the s were obliged to come closer in and float on the top of the fu- undated quays. When the river begau to zo down aghin, they had, of course, to return immediately to the bed of the river for fear of being left on the quay. In spite of cveryihing, however, 2 Scotch sel, the Dawn, of Ar broath, and a Norwegian vessel were Jeft by the receding waters half on aud half off the quay. As she was balf full of mineral, the Norwegian vessel “has broken her back* over the ede of the quay, and the Dawn, Which was primarily pushed ashore by 'the other Tessel, s now a total wreck, having its stern resting on the bed of the river, aud . the Dbows prevented from slinping off the quay by the stern of the Norwegian.

TIIE VATICAN. ADDRE3S BY THE POPE. Royte, Dec. 21.—The Pope received theSacred College of Cardinals to-day, and Cardinal Di Pietro read an address which was written by Monsignore Anat, senior member of the Sacred College, who was absent on_account of ill- health. This addrass presented to his Holiness the congratulations of the Cardinals on the oc- casion of the festivals of Christmas and tbe New Year. The Pope, in reply, sald: We live in stormy times. The revolati to destroy the principles both of the Divine aud human Jawand to shake the foundations of socicty. 1t is the duty of the chiefs of the this barbsnsm by whici we are ass: ‘His Holiuess proceeded to allude to the perre- cution of the Church in Germany gnd to the bill presented to the Italin Parliament rela- tive "to .abuses of the clerical office, a measure which he characterized as unjust. ' He spoke fn terms of praise of the conduct of the erman clerzy, and as regards the Iialian priest- hood, he expressed a hope that its past history would gerve it as a guide for the future. In conclusion, the Pope recommended ugion in order to oppose the revolution which endeav- ored to destroy the Charcl. She, however, Sould triumph in the end, as she had triumpted in former epochs. ——— TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

So Were the Strcets Considered Men- , tioned In This Article, but Now Busy Centres of Traflic. Not many years ago the busiuess of this city was confined almost exclusively to the South Side, but, as’ the city spread out, enterprising men foresaw that fn the future the then busi- ness centre would be too far away for those re- sil'lingin the extreme portions of the North, ‘West, and South Divisions, and, with the char- acteristic pluck of the true Chicagoan, they opened stores, which, from the very 'start, ranked cqual, both in variety and amount of stock and general appointments, to any on the South Side. Laboring at first under great disadvantages -naturally, as the people were in the habit of going * down- town " daily for the smallest wants, they have, nevertheless, built up streets and opened & trade Wwhich Is creditable to the respective sections of Chicazo. Last year has been a notable onein regard to these streets, the tide having turned in their favor, both for convenience of shopping and getting better bargains than could be got- ten by going down street, for the reason that the nierchants there arc not under such heavy ¢Xpenses, ana are epabled to make an average reduction of 10 to 15 per cent, consequently they are receiving the entire patronage of the territory tributary to the streets in question, and ru(ping the benefits they have so earnestly fought for and justly deserve.
