THE HOMR FOR INEBRIATES.

Trcenty-eight Hundred Applicants.^

An Aypwl lo the Trustees of the Inebri^ASylnn to the fChnrckes of (he Unite* Mates and the American Public, in Behalf »f that la stitattoh.

The New York Observer contains an appeal by the Trustees of the New York State Inebriate Asylum for aid, their application to the New York Legislature for an appropriation of $100,000 for this purpose having failed.

They give the following facts to enforce their appeal. ..* ALMOST INCREDIBLE.

Who can doubt the vital importance of such an asylum when, even before its first story is completed, more than twentyeight hundred applications have been made for admittance, many of which are from the patients themselves. Among the applicants are twenty eight clergymen, thirtysix physicians, forty-two lawyers, three judges, twelve editors, four army and three naval officers, one hundred and sev-enty-nine merchants, fifty-five farmers, five hundred and fifteen mechanics, and 'four hundred and ten women, who are in the high walks of life. Of the vocation of the remaining twelve hundred applicants we have no knowledge.

If it were in our power, without invading the sanctity of private life, to lay be•fore the public a full account of each case of inebriety that has come under our observation, and unfold the terrible calamities inflicted upon whole families by this disease, we could present a history which would arouse the sympathies of the world, and bring to the aid of this great work every benevolent citizen of our country.

A CLERGYMAN.

The following cases illustrate the importance of this asylum, and the great desire the inebriate has for an institution in which lie can be controlled, medically dealt with, and morally treated: was

ANOTIRNN OLEIIRVMAN.

The following is the case of a clergyman, •which deeply enlisted the sympathies of .the late lion. Benjamin F. liutlcr. For several years, this gentleman had been ••suffering from taenia, which had produced •frreat emaciation. For this malady, his

At length, conscious of his inability for sclf-control, he voluntarily surrendered himself to the custody of the superintendent of the almshouse on Blackwoll's Island. lie remained there but a short time, as his better nature revolted at the depraved •surroundings. Finally, as a last resort, his friends have sent hint on a sea-voyage, from which .lie has not vet returned.

OXE MOKE Cl.KlU V.MAN.

The following is the case of •who imbrued his hands in the blood of his own child. This gentleman was a clergyman of no common ability, whose reputation and a pastor had plaoed him in a high position in the church. He became an inebriate, lost self control, and in a fit of delirium tremens, murdered his own child, and would have taken the life of his wife, but for the timely interposition of lriends.

ITc was tried for*murder, and acquitted on

THREE JROOES.

Within the past two years, thc State of New York has lost by death two of her Supremo Court Judges, and one of her county Judges, all of whom were applicants for admission to this asylum.

A MERCHANT.

Among the merchants who have applied for admission, I know of no one more melancholy than the following This gentleman retirod from business about seven years since, with a fortune of seven hundred thousand dollars. Having been accustomed to a great amount of mental excitement, incident to a large business, lie became much depressed in the retirement ®tof a large private life, and resorted to alcoholic stimulants to restore the wonted physical and mental conditon of his sys-

Thereby was produced this disease, which consigned this once useful man to a prcmaturo grave.

THE SUICIDE.

Within three years there have been two applicants for admission to this asylum, who afterwards committed suicide while laboring under delirium tremens. One of these was an officer in the United States Navy, who distinguished himself in the war with Mexico. After he had returned from a cruise, he began to stimulate to excess, became diseased by alcohol, and lost self-control. He told us when he applied for admission to the Institution, that he should soon die, unless controlled and treated in an asylum." On being informed that the edi&oe was not built, he left in despair, and, three weeks after, while suffering under an atack of delirium tremens, he threw himself from the third story window of his hotel, killing himself instantly.

The other case of self-destruction was a young nun of wealth and position. Ue

T-CTT- -jr

t« accomplished in mind, polished in manners, benevolent in heart, and a universal favorite with his associates, both young and old. This painful disease in him was hereditary. His better nature revolted at the idea of being an inebriate and dying an inebriate. When we told him that the asylum wasnot completed he turned away in despair, and' said, Then I must die." Six months had scarely elapsed, when, while in delirium tremens, he took a bottle of laudanum, which clos ed his unfortunate career. I They conclude their appeals as follows

We would earnestly appeal to the Church, and to every benevolent heart in [our land in behalf of more than twentyeight hundred of our fellow-citizens, who are anxious to be saved from their impending death, and whose salvation in this life, and in the life to come, depends upon the co-operation which this great medic&l, moral, and religious work will receive from the hands of the Christian world. When each Church of our land shall have extended to this institution its contributions, the day will not be far distant when this Asylum will begin its heaven-born mission of restoring to health the diseased, lifting up the fallen and degraded to the high sphere of the virtuous and the good restoring to the family its lost head, and to the Church of Christ a useful, exemplary, and devoted Christian.

THE SICK1.ES ACQT1TTAL-—CON-DUCT OF THE JURY. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune in giving an account of the Sickles acquittal remarks

It is said that Mr. Sickles will remain at Washington for a week. The counsel of 3Ir. Sickles to-night were complimented by a serenade, and a large crowd gathered in front of'the Na-

gentiemanof genius, fine culture and ac- tional Hotel where Messrs Brady, StanMmplishmcnts,aiid whose professional reputation was second to none of his age in our country. He had many admirers and wherever lie prcachcd, multitudes flockcd to hoar him. Tie was as attractive in social life as in the pulpit, yet he was afflicted with this painful malady—a diseased nppctite, which he had inherited, and which it was impossible for him to control. Although he loved his accomplished wife and dear children as strongly and devotedly as any father could love, yet these sa-c-red ties, that bound him to life, were as ropt-s of sand for restraint, when this morbid appetite was upon him. Although a .devilled Christian and a holy man with this exception), yet the Chnrch with all its sacred influences could not control him.— lie has now left his church and people and yone home to die.

ton, Magrudcr and Chilton briefly return ed thanks.

The last named gentleman requested the assemblage to forgo their intention to serenade Mr. Sickles, lie added that it was only necessary to say that Mr. Sickles wished to retire to rest undisturbed, and that he was sure that this appeal would be respected. Messrs. Graham and Thomas Francis Meagher were loudly called for, but were not present.

Thc emotions of the counsel when thc jury returned their verdict were manifested in various ways. Mr. Brady, in spite of all his experience as a criminal lawyer, became pale, nervous and agitated.

There is a general and dccidedly strong feeliug of satisfaction at thc result of Sicklcs's trial. The jury would have rendered a verdict immediately after the case was submitted to them, but for the fact that one of thc number desired a short-! time for deliberation.

I IfTERESTTIIVG DESCRIPTION OF THE ROCK OF GIBRALTER. The British Lion, when it took Gibraltar to itself and threw Tarifato Spain,^admirably imitated that royal boast of jEsop, who made a like division of spoils among the contestant beasts, taking the chief share to himself. Standing, as it does, at the Straits,- and: conimanding their entrance, it is an ijhportant adjunct to the power of England. It is doubtfurwhether she would long retain her India possessions if she had not the control of this gateway to the East., Long may she hold it against all her ifoes, and long may she continue to govern an empire whose masses have .no capacity for self-government, and who have no government by their chiefs fit to be called legitimate authority. Probably the greatest piece of filibustering perpetrated in the modern ages was England's conquest of the Indies and although Clive and Hastings left bloody records behind them, and although the conqueror has fallen far short of her high duty to India, it cannot be questioned that the world is the better and happier for that forcible possession by the descendants of the great Norman fillibnster, who laid in race the foundations of the best civilization the world ever knew. This general proposition, I maintain, is firm as the Rock of Gibralter," and this brings me to show how well fortified it is, for many a man has rounded his rhetoric with this flourish, without the slighest idea of the strength he claimed for his position.

Imagine, then, a rock about three miles in length and a mile in width at the widest point, and seventeen hundred feet in bight at its highest elevation, towering up between the Spanish and African coasts, apparently for no other purpose than to give some pirate the control of this passage, which gives the west communication with the cast. Then imagine it almost precipitous on the side toward the Mediterranean, towering, at the lowest point, at least a thousand feet above the level of the 6ea, against which the combined navies of the world would be as impotent as are the waves which break at their base. Then picture to yourself the side which forms the harbor—this being a little lake which makes around the western side of the rock, interposing between it and the Spanish coast.—from a point fifty feet above the water's edge, fortified by .all the defenses which masonr}' and engineering can devise, and these forticctions mounted by guns at least every ten yards, and repeated half its hight then superadd to

A Itr.ACK REPUBLICAN EDITOR INDICTED FOR SEDUCING A YOUNG GIRL ONLY FOURTEEN YEARS OF

AGE.

an indictment against Sherman 31. Booth, tired KoracrIy ®ditor and proprietor of thc FreetDcmocrat in this city, on the charge of the seduction of Caroline N. Cook, a girl a little over fourteen years of age.

Thc defendant was arrested yesterday morning, and arraigned iu the Circuit Court, when he waived the reading of the indictment, plead not guilty, and entered into a recognizance in the sum of- fifteen hundred dollars to appear at the next June term of the Circuit Court.—JSlilxcaulcic News, 23 d. ,•

This Booth is a great freedom sbrieker and, within the last five years, has gained considerable notoriety in rescuing fugitive darkies from the hands of United States officers. It does seem that when a man espouses the cause of Black Republicanism that he looses all moral restraint. In nine cases oat of ten, you will find a Black Republican an infidel.

MIDNIGHT MARCH OF THE SONS OF *At*A'f?f tOtJlSVltiE Last evening a Iittle before midnight, the member* of this eccentKc and bu-

niane order assembled onJeflferson street, before the court house, to arrange the.procession. At the -head'was thermusic, and behind, them, clothed in monkish gowns of tcd'of white, stood in perfect silence- the members of the order. At' intervals were banners, some white with a Greek crOss in black.upon them and others-the reverse of this. Near each banner was a knight in complete armor, with visor down. The cowls fell down and covered completely the faces of the other members. Marshals rod.o up and down the ranks, ar .ranging them silently, „No words were spoken, or if they were,'could be heard only by those immediately at hand. Two bishops or cardinals stood about the center. ".irk s$:

It was as if the curtains of the world had arisen from three centuries and revealed the order of the Knights of Malta, as they celebrated their victories over the Turks, or rather as if their grim old gho9ts were revisiting the glimpses of the moon. At the sound of the music, which arose in solemn fugues from a full band, the procession began to march. The music was slow and impressive the march conducted in silence. As they passed on, the banners waved and flapped with their impressive emblems of the passion of Christ the torch which each member bore flared in the wind, throwing a ghastly light upon the cross upon the left shoulder, the cowled faces and the strange attire of the company. Some of them wore masks of white cloth, which fitting closely made a ghastly caricature of the human features.

They marched up Jefferson to Seventh, and, turning, proceeded towards the back part of the city. A large crowd of persons accompanied them on the pavements but even they, strange to say, seemed impressed with the weird appearance of these grim monks, and did not give forth the shouting and noise common to such occasions. The local must confess, however, that they added little to the impressiveness of the scene. There is no romance in being jostled, and having your favorite corns treated with unbecoming liberties. To see the procession, as it was however, was suflicienth' striking. To have met it on some ghostly night, under low, branching trees, or in the deserted streets of some silent city, would have been uncomfortably spectral. But the local hears the music, and breaks off for another look.—Louisville Democrat.

INDIANA DIVORCE I.AW. A AVcstern correspondent of Thc Boston Journal says that a few months ago a wealthy and prominent citizen of Kansas— and office holder—had a wife to whom he seemed much devoted. Her health was feeble and (prevented by the demands of his business from accompanying her) he

and the (sent her to a southern city to rccruit. He received from her frequent and affectionate letters, dated at. that city and he intended, as soon as his affairs would permit, to join her there. But recently, while on a trip to St. Louis, as lie was sitting for a few idle moments in the parlor of his hotel, he picked up an obscure country newspaper, published in an interior town of Indiana.

Glancing listlessly over the advertisements, one, which caught his attention, rivited his eye to the paper. It was a legal notification to him that his wife had applied for a divorce, and that the case would be tried on tin: following day, in thc Court of the county where thc pajt?r was published. lie was thunderstruck. The truth flashed upon him at once. His wife, while dating her letters from the Southern city spoken ot, employing some one to mail them there, had been all thc time in Indiana—long enough to claim a residence under thc peculiar matrimonial laws of that State (which I believe have since been modified by the late Legislature.) As usual in such cases, she had notified him by publication, relying on the obsecurity and limited circulation of the country paper as a guaranty that it would not comc within his notice, and expecting to get a divorce before even his suspicions were aroused. Thc half-distracted husband rushed upon a traiu of cars just leaving for thc East.— Arriving at a junction in Indiana where no train would enable him to reach thc county seat by thc hour set apart for the trial, he chartered a special locomotive, proceeded there at once, confronted his guilty partner, and put a stop to the proceedings.

SECOND ADVENT IN NJPW JERSEY— THE WORLD NOT BURNT UP-FI-NAL M^ETIXG OF. THE .1IIT.LER-

JTES. '. .••••Kilt seems that a number of people in New Jersy yet oling to the doctrines of the -Second,Adventists Notwithstanding their frequent disappointments, many of these individuals expected the world to come to an end on Easter Sunday. The Newark Tidily Mercury of Monday morning says:

The Second Advcntists secured a large attendance at their meetings yesterday, many being drawn thither from curiosity to-witness the conduct of those who were momentarily expecting to be summoned to the judgment. Among those who spoke at their, meeting in the morning was a boy of some twelve or fourteen years, who said he was prepared for and expected the immediate end of all things earthly, yet, if it did not come to pass as they anticipated, he could await the final summons with a calm and peaceful mind, let it bo as long delayed as it might.

In the evening the large room in the third story of Ward's building was occupied by the disciples of Father Miller, and an audiencc of some two hundred persons assembled. The believers did not appear as sanguine as formerly, and before the evening was spent., Mr. Flavell announced that they had now arrived at the conclusion that the conclusion of earthly affairs was not so near at hand as they had supposed' but it would take place, of a certainty, within forty days. They had thought it would occur ,on "Easter Sunday because it was on that day that Napoleon fell, but they now thought it would occur at the end of forty days, the anniversary of thc day when Christ appeared after his rcsurection to his diciples. The speaker said no doubt thc world would laugh at them, and heap derision upon them, but they could bear it all. They were dead to thc world, their belief having taken all thc life out of them. They cared not for thc things of this world.

During thc day all sorts of rumors in relation to these deluded people prevailed throughout the city. One was that they expected to asccnd from the roof of certain named houses and another, that they would hold a meeting on the Park in the evening. Persons who assembled in these places to get a sight at the "Millerites" were, however, disappointed.

The applause was deafening, thc audi- P' iscd. Shei can hardly be said to fall—

cnce huzzaing and waiving their hats. The following is a graphic description of the closing scenes in the Sicklcs trial:

she steps aside of her own free will and sins deliberately. With these premises can there be any difficulty in answering thc question, what a man ought to do in the event supposed? AVc say just what many a good and true and honest man has done before, and we could name a shinning ex--ample in the act of one who well deserves the title of hero and philosopher.

ITc neither slew thc man nor the woman. He callcd thc erring wife before him, and bade her take whatever she could rightfully claim as her own, and leave him forever, and then like the hero that he was and is, he pursued manfully the oven tenor of his way, and nil men honor him. This is what, in our opinion, a man ought to do. —Hiiltimore Sun.

TIIF. ASTKONOMKItS SET RIGHT, Mr. Hall Colby writing to the New \ork Tribune challenges the scientific world to prove "by any mechanical or mathematical mensuration or law of angles and of planes, that thc sun's distance from the rth is one-fourth part of the ninety-five millions of miles claimcd in thc common astronomical theories." lie says: g£.

Three facts meet the question, viz: A11 itude, zenith and base line. First, that the sun is in the zenith of the tropics twice in a year: and twice in a year on the zenith of thc earth's equator. The distance between the tropics is forty-six degrees fifty-five minutes, or two thousand eight hundred and fit teen miles, geographically defined-* When the sun is on tiic equator, ship being on thc tropic, either north or south, gets a meridian altitude of the sun sixtysix degrees thirty-two minutes and thirty seconds, and linds thc zenith distanof twenty-three degrees twenty-seven minutes and thirty seconds". There being no declination, thc zenith distance is the lattifude of tlie ship, or place of observation.

Now, if the base and hypothenuse be thus tested semi-annually, year after year the above altitude and zenith corrcsponding on both sides of the equator at the same moment or minute of time, thc earth and the sun being on a plane, with tiieir nodes or equinoxes, the rules for testing the distance are both mathematical and mechanical, alike sovereign and ineonvcrtibly true. All opinions to the contrary must, submit to the truth as a law. There is another error which hasjtucu taught in relation to thc earth's motion to the sun, namely, maximum angle of the. poles of thc earth to the plane of the ecliptic through the year. This error is so palpable that it, would seem it could not stand without, correction for a single year in anv college or school where boys reason on the common laws of trigonometry.

The simplest way of calculating (he distance of heavenly bodies, we think, is the rule laid down in John Phronix's celebrated lecture upon Astronomy, viz: guess at, utie-half of the distance and multiply by two. Thc result- may be iufailiably rcliod upon.
