It has frequently been thought by tuuking men that crime and murder, like plagues and cloleras, were epidemica In Spain one ts led to believe it almost a certainty, for so regular are revolutions, assassini(ious and incendlarism that any iudividual who has paid attention to their courses may predict when the next revolution or assassination will take place, The present century has been uotocious for this species of epidemy and ior the consistent regu- Jarity of thelr occurrence.

On Friday last they took a minor out of the house of his parents and transported him to Offenbach, a Hes. sian town three wiles off, giving him notice at the same time that he would be hable to three months’ lunprisonment if ever again showing tis face on Tie police at Offenbach asked the)young iman whetuer he had any weans of sub- sistence, and, as he denied this, they trang ported him back to Frankfort, in accordance with the Gotha treaty, to which Prugsta her- self is a party. Here the affair rests et present, the poilce having probably referred to Berlin for instructions what to do tn this dilemma, The fact is that Prussia makes A reaponstble for the misdeed of B. A minor can do nothing by his own free will; he bas been expatriated by his father, and | if Prussia were a law-abiding government it must have waited until the minor came of age to give him the option of remaining a8 a citizen at his birth- place, or of leaving the country if he chose to emigrate. Tho consequence of this arbitrary treat- ment ts, that the animosity against Prussia gets stronger than *, and that wealthy persons, who are not compelled by their business to remain nere, propose to leave.

KILLARNEY, Sept, 20, 1869, ‘The cry of Land Reform has extended w every house and cabin in the South. I have visited Water- ford, crossed Tipperary—which I intend visiting in a@short time—and am looking at “the kingdom of Kerry.” The aspect of the country looks dreary, like one whose people had fea; but quadrupeds appear to be multiplying and growing presentable forthe English market. The bold peasautry—‘the finest peasantry,” to quote an agitator—are worse, mentally and financially, than their brothers farther north. Before 1 proceed with Waterford, &c., I most finish the huinane agent whose zea) for his master I informed you of in my last.

His brother, who held the adjoining farm, got the farm from which Thomas had been evicted. He permitted him to Temain tn the unroofed house; but when the agent heard of this act of brotherly kindness, he sent his bailiif to warn the brother in possession tat if he did not put his brother and family out of the same he would be evicted himself. Tho Rev. Father Cudd, when he heard this statement from the wife of the invalid, thought i+ too atrocious to be true, aud sought whe bailiff, who informed him that it was true. ‘The poor feilow, to save his brother from the pains and penalties of eviction, crawled from the walls of his old home with wife and children, but he could not go far; he entered a field in Haystown, in view of his hearthatone, throw up @ few boughs against a fence and covered them with furzo; a faggot served foradoor, The drst night he passed tn this primt- tive dwelling was his last, The Rev. Richard Kelly, of Templetown, attended him; when he arrived to prepare the dying man for eternity tho faggot was removed; the priest crept in on his knees, and in thas posture administered the last sacraments of tne Catholic Church to another victim of Irish land- lordism—according to law. Doré would have a last- ing place um the memory of the benevolent tf he were to illustrate the last moments of Thomas Foley, of Haggard, late tenant of the Most Novie Marquis of Ey. Ellen Gore, of Templetown, eighty years of age, Was evicted the day subsequent to that when her daughter at the office of the agent the sum of £3 12s, 6d, Not a copper was due when the excel- lent agent sent his bailiits to remove the old woman and daughter, peaceably if poasibie, forciply if neces- sary, from their old home, ‘they were at breaktast when the messengers of the agent arrived, but the latter did not give them time to fuish it, Furniture, &c., Were flung out upon the dunghiil, the rafter ulled down, the house unroofed. When the Niffs had departed the creatures gathered all their little housenold affairs together and sought shelter inside the walls of their home, but no more so.

It blazed like flax; the women shrieked; the children sereaued; the Véneradle grandmother moaned inside; the bal lif cursed. One of the da ters dashed in through the smoke and blazing thatch and brought out her aged mother, naif smothered and almost naked, amidst the jeers and laughter of these worthy muinistets of landlord law in ireland, ‘The brave girl ruzhed in again to save the Sey ooyerne When trying to es¢ape through tue debris of the old house, ou8 of the batiuifs shoved her, he says, by acctdent.

The general anxiety is by no means calmed, and the predictions of the German astronomer, Falb, respecting the shock to over- whelm and ruin Peru in the course of next month have greatly alarmed our people.

There the danger to be run arises from the crevasses, but im cities both crevasses ana falling buildings lend their ald to add to the terror and consternation of the inhabitants. Chile, in times gone by, has been a severe sufferer from earthquakes, and the recollection of the sad fate of our immediate neighbors in Mendoza and Peru does not tend to allay the anxious feclinga now gaining ground.
