It is not known whetner the sailor ‘was natural.zed or not, but he was on the ship’s articles as having shipped from New York. He was surrendered by our consular agentat Bremerhaven as a Prussian citizen. 2dr. Henry Funk, late mayor of Muscatine, Lowa, it is reported, was also seized lately by Austrian officials, in Austria, while on a pleasure tour, and forced into the ranks ot their army. The Prussian military rale in Frankfort, at the latest date, was so severe that even the American residents in the city—of whem there are two or three hundred—were not exempted from supplying qnarters and daily requisites to the troops. ir.

It burned for thirty years, baifling all the efforts made to extinguish 1, until finally, in 1934, an eminent engineer, Mr. Goldsworth ur under- tor he task of puttingitout. He covered all the openings of the mine. leaving only twe holes, into one of which ne forced steam, ining- led with the products of the combustion of a coke fire, which generated impure carbonic aed gud nitrogen. In six weeks the fire was extupguisbed, and then a new difficulty pre- sented itseli—how to cool the heated mine so that when fresh air was readmitted combus- tiem would not again begin. This was, how- ever, effected by mixing the spray of water with the jet of suffocating gas. A process like this will extinguish any fire. when the aur can be kept ontof burning buildings: and if the ga< is well purified, it will not soil goods that may be contained in them.

Generals Steedman and Fullerton, the com- Micssoners jointed to investigate the opera- Ueasof the Freed Burean in the South- ern States, have made their final report to the Sec: War. it gives a minute ‘and interesting acconnt of the inspections made in thed ents cf Georgia, Alabama, Mis- siscippi, Snd Texas. They say «A great reduction in the expenses of the Auda reform which would render it Se bees atcocuanie than itis now, would by the discontinuagce of all paid employees notin the ac gm service the vermment. This would uce the expenses contract surgeons, hospital stew- ards, foc., the follewing amousts: Georgia, percent es Annum, Alabama, $33,3!2; Missis- sippi, 275: Louisiana, $55,954; Texas, $10,- 3—makihg a total of $165,052 per annum. “Ali the lubor perfermed b: theseemployees, except perhaps the occasional services of a contract surceon, might be discharged by de- tails from the troops. In previous reports we have recommended the merging of the duties ofthe bureau and the military. We would again respectfully urge this amaigamation, and that one set of officers should be reqnired to perform the joint duties, thus avoiding the expense of maintamang two establishments.” After detailed statements of the operation of the Bureau in the various States, the report presents the following summary “In pureuing this imvesugation, which has Bow extended over four months, we have jound extreme diffieulty ia complying with that portion of our instructions which requires us to report upon operations of the burean and its mode of ministration. There is an entire absence of system or aniformity in its constitution. In one State its officers exercise judicial powers, in an adjoining State all cases are referred tothe civil authorities; while in a third State the bureau officers collect the cases and turn them over to the mil'tary provost courts to dispose of. In some departments the officers of the burean have attempted ¢ reguiate the rate of wages: one form of tract between employer and employed 1 seribed in one Staté, while m suother a dif eutform is adopted. Im Lomsiana the ex- penses of the freedmen’s schools have be wholly paid by the governme States the schools are partially © ing, andin Texas they are ex 38 the bureau a rily b nthe plaate men in favor of the freedn ties the barean is 1 the freedmen m fr penditare of the b or of the pian n varies as mn mode ot administration. In one Stu be ex- perses areoyer three hundred thousand dol- jars a year: in another State, with anequal popolation, the expenses are not more than fifty thousand dollars. In some States the ex- penses have been met by taxes levied on and collected from the people; in other States the cost 18 entirely borne by the United States treasury. The official report of Colonel Reno, United States army, provost marshal general of the burean of Louisiana, shows a deficit of up- ‘wards of seven thousand dollars in the accounts of the officers who were engaged in the collect- ing of taxes in New Orleans, which deficit Colonel Reno says he is unable to explain in consequence of the joose manner in which the books were kept. ‘We are of opimion that at the close of tie war. and for some time after the cessation of hostilities, the Freedmen’s Bureau did . The poopie of the Soutm, having at first no we aetna ae 3 under a free-labor ms of getting rid of them, men. there was an entire revolution in the sentiments of the Ppeo- ple of the South with regard to negro labor. A Jeeling of kindness sprang up towards the freedmen, resulting. mainly from the conviction that his was desirable, profit- able, and the only labor to be had. The ega A ot the bureau then ceased. Since then while it has been beneticial in some localities, ithas been productive in the aggre- gate, of more harm than good. It has occa- sioned and will perpetnate discord as long as it exusts. though * the purest and wisest men of the nation. The freemen regard its presence as evidence that they would be unsafe without it. and the white peo. ple consider it an imputation upon their in- tegrity and fairness: an espionage upon the of- heial action of all their courtsand magistrates, As well as upon the private conduct of their citizens. Both races are thus made suspicious and bitter by an agency which, m the present reorganized condition of civil government and society in the Soutbern Stat S powerless to advance the interests of either.” The report closes with some remarks show- ing that the system of contracts as enforced by the burean is simply slavery in a new form, and operates to the injury of the freedmen, Tue Pevrer CURE For DeLinitw Tre- MENS.—The greatest difficulty in the treatment of this too frequent and distressing disease, miliarly known under the name of mania-c- potu, isto procure sleep, which is the indis- pensable cond.uon for recovery.
