THE POPE A PRISONER OP #sTATR—HIS CAUKCRES TAKEN FoR BARRACKS — PRRIAL CONPERENCR A HYTOC THING—THE PEOPLE OF EUROPE AROUSING TO A SENSE OF THEIR POWER. A prominent government officer traveling in Europe, writes from Kome to a friend in this city, as follows: «Speaking of the Pope, I must confess that I was astonished to find his authority here so completely ignored. Phe people here hate the priests and have seconded allthe movements of the King of Italy against the Papal power. Ican tell you asa matter of personal knowledge that the Vatican is ALL THAT THE POPE HAS LEFT. The Quirinal and his other palaces have been taken from him. Many of the churches have been seized and converted into offices or military barracks. Monasteries and convents have boen broken up and other purch buildings closed. The Papal troops have been disbanded, and the household guard who are not permitted outside the Vatican in uniform, I learn will also be broken up. Ot seventy-two cardinals the number has beea re- duced to about forty-five. TY QUESTION seems to have proven a fatal blow to the church. Prince and peasant in Europe laugh atit. The prints are full of caricatures and jokes about it. Since the entrance of the King of Italy into Rome, the Pope has been prohibited from parading the streets. Asa result, his Holiness bas not left his palace for fully two years. In reality he is a prisoner in his own city. It is really sad to watch the progress of the age trample so ruthlessly under foot such a mighty fabric of spiritual and temporal power as was verted in the Pope not overa half a century ago. Politically, Europe is in a critical condition. THY MEETING OF THE EMPERORS at Berlin is considered a bypocritic: gotten up for effect, to quiet the politi social fermentation now going on amongst the masses.

UNIFORM TEMPERATURE IN 8CMMER—A HFALTHY CLIMATE—THIRTY MILES OF BEACH COVERED WITH SEALS FOR HALF A MILE BACK FROM THE WATER. A letter bearing date St. Paul's island, Alaska, August 4, 1872, has been received at the Smjthsonian Institution from Mr. Henry W. Elliott, formerly of this city. and whose mar- riage toa Russian lady was noticedin Satar- day’s Star. Of the climate of Alaska the writer says: “The climate during the summer is one succession of thick foggy days, with an occasional hour of sunlight breaking through. J have since my arrival here experienced but three clear, bright days, the temperature being neither cold nor warm, and raneing. at what you wonldin Washington call decidedly cool— 40 or 42 degrees at midday, and 38 degrees early in the morning. This cool uniform | gon is, as on would imagine, very healthy. [ have not eard a person cough or complain ofa cold since I have been here, and Captain Bryant Says that it isthe only place that he has ever visited during his psy oe around the world in which there fs so little complaint of cold and rheumati:m.”” Of the seals on St. Paul island Mr. Elliottsays: “The seals are so fat that even they seem to suffer as they lay out upon the rocks when the thermometer sometimes ‘as high as 45° or 48°, causing them to lown to the water now and then £0 as to cool off. The seals begin to arrive as early as the 24 and 34 of May, but no in any number until the 15th or June when they come in from every pot of the compass by the tens of thousands until millions are hauled out from the water upon the lava rock beaches and voleanic sand-spits, sometimes crowding back frrm the sea as thick as they can lay for a half a mile. Thirty miles ot shore line are occupied by these animals. During all the time of the occupation of the ground—a period of from three to four months—they live a lite of inc sant action, without taking food of any kind. but living upon the absorption of the fat of their own bodies. They go off, of course, very much emaciated, and many of them perish from the wounds they receive in struggling for positions on the island.” Germans aro noisy looks more firmly ¢! Winan’s CicaR Suip.— That odd looking structure, of the shape of a cylinder ranning to & point at each end, bisected by a high paddle wheel and surmounted by a funnel and a pilot house, now moored at Winans’ wharf. is tolerably familiar to all Baltimoreans as “ Winans’ cigar ship.” But even those who knew that it once Years ago cut through the waters never had an faith in the success of the design for a new style of steamers, and it was generalliv supposed that the Messrs. Winans had abandoned the idea of building vessels upon such a model. They seem, however, to have faith in their invention, as they applied at Washington for an extension of their patent, and it was granted on Saturday. Theyhave built two “cigar ships” in England and one in Rassia besides that here, the whole costing over $1,000,000, which at present is en- tirely sunken.—Ballimore American. Tue Mexican Concaess met at the city of Mexico on the 16th of September. It is reported that all political parties will support Lerdo de Tejada for the Presidency. La Fraga, the foreign minister, presented @ motion to congress in secret session to authorize the government to appoint a counter commission for the investiga- tien of affairs on the Rio Grande, which was unanimously carried. Porfirio Diaz is in Chi- huahua, atsuming a hostile attitude. Th primary presidential election oceirs on the 13th instant, and the secondary ou the ith. Lerdo is at present unopposed. ROMANCE oF THE Wan.—One Colonel Wash- ington, a wealthy planter living near Nashyiile, Tenu., was rescued from a mob of drunken ‘sol- diers, whom he bad offended, by Col. Downey, of ‘Taftin, Ohio, to whose regiment the troops be- longed. Downey has since died, leaving a widow and family in poverty. Washington also died recently, and in his will, it is stated, made a be- quest to the widow and children of Downey to the value of $100,000. Gratitude has still a home in the human breast, as is evinced by this gener- ous deed.

After his tour in Pennsylvania, Ohio and In- diana, Mr. Greeley announced that he woul make no more political speeches during the campaign, but that resolution has been recon- sidered. and he spoke at Pleasantville, New York, on Saturday.

Isn't it refreshing to the honest man and patriot? Never, wituin my recollection, has any election been conducted with such persistent, earnest purpose as’ it was on Tuesday last in the three states of Pennsyl- yania, Obio and Indiana. Never did true men have a more unscrupulous, perfidious, unprin- cipled body of partizans to contend against than the men of the great republican << in the three states named had on Tuesday last in thas unholy alliance of recreant republicans aad otice rae 7, cuencree. Here, in this city, the coborts of Greeleyism have met with a most disastrous defeat. R. C. Parsons, the nominee of the republicans for Congress, and a most ex cellent selection he was, active, capable, and alive to the interests of his distriet, was opposed in the canv: by Mr. Selah Chamberlain, « democrat, arfd a very worthy man. It is cur- rently reported that the latter SPENT $75,000 aLOwE, to carry the election, but such measures were of no a So faras the result was concerned. Parsons was triumphantly elected, and he wili Justify the confidence repesed in him when he takes his seat in boa. en There was no local success in the late election In this state that gives greater satisfaction to the people of the northern part of the same than the election of Mr. Parsons, owing tothe fact that the Chap- paquaks were determined to deteat him, and were so sanguine that they would accomplish their purpose. Next to the election of Mr. Parsons, we all re- joice in the triumph of Mr. Foster over Jud Sloan in the Sandusky district. Sloan charged with obtaining his nomination by fraud, and then he and his friends were as un- ‘crupulous in the means employed to win, as the opponents ef Mr. Parsons were, and they failed. But you can scarcely conceive how de- jected and dismayed the confederates are. The day betore election they were bold, contident, boastful; the day after they were dispii i lent and sullen. They felt the rebuke can they regain spirit and resolution. so as to give apprehension to the friends of the savior ot the republic as to results in any demonstra- tion they may make at the polls in Sn 8. TeERInte DeaTH.—On Thursday morning last, an employe of the Norfolk division of the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad discoy- ered upon the track of the Norfolk road, about two miles from Petersburg, the dead body of a negro man, which was most horribly mangled and cut to pieces by being run over by the train. His head and right leg were almost entirely severed trom his body, and his left leg horzibly cut aud mashed. —— ——————— SALE oF ConrEepRrate Money.—The Staun- ton Vindicator says:—*On Tuesday last, in tront of the court-house, E.

Monarchist was again success{!, beating Harry Bassett more shamefully than be in the three-mile race. In fact, Harry B: sett only really ran one mile with 'Monare and then gave up the straggle likeacur. This was the second mile, the first being run throagh by both horses under a pull. The second mile was a head and head contest for about a mile andthen Harry Bassett quit, and Monarchist galloped on alone for the tollowing two miles, winning the race by two hundred 5; Harry Bassett second, tifty yat of King Henry.

Tur Occoquan (VA) Racea.—The race at Occoquan between ‘Dolly Varden’ and‘ Broom sedge’ the former owned by Metzger, ant the latter by Wm. Seiecman came off on Saturday last. The race was for a purse of £19, and the distance 600 yards, carrying * pounds each. The +tart was an even one, and it was soon seen that Dolly Varden would win the day, which she did easily beating the horse 80 feet. The track was at Woodbridge Station about two miles from Occoquan. After the race between Dolly Varden and Broomsedge another was made between sorrel horse ‘Limber Jim’ form- erly owned by H. B. Varnes, now owned by George Myers, and a bay mare owned by Simp- son Davis for a purse of $50, distance 6» yards. This race was won by Limber Jim beating his competitor 50 feet. There were two or three other races. The day was fius and a large num- bez of spectators were present.—Manassas Ga- retie, 12th.

For several years he has been @ constant sufferer—as the doctors su posed—from consumption; but, although may remedies were tried. his case seemed utterly hopeless.
