Secretary BoTrrwKix,

father.

at an enter

tainment given him by the Union League Club in New York, recently, is reported to have said that there were two things necessary to give our country the strongest and most enviable position in the world. These were, first, to secure thn payment of the national debt in gold, without qualification cr equivocation and secondly, to secure the adoption of the Fifteenth Amendment, neither of which evonts was he disposed to consider in doubt. The Secretary said that he had reason to believe that if he bad the authority, a good share of our debt could now be funded at four and one-half per cent, and when our interest account was reduced to $100,000,000 we should have a surplus from our present resources of from $60,000,000 to $70,000,000, which would make it very easy to take care of the demand debt. And that at our present rate of taxation he believed our whole debt could be paid off in twelve yoars.— It is also stated by gentlemen present (there being no reporters), that the Secretary explicitly dealared that ha will con* tinue to apply so much of the receipts of the Government as shall be in excess of its expenses to the reduction of the public debt.

The Methodist "Book Concern" wsb

founded expressly on the idea of furnish ing support to the widows and orphansof deceased clergymen. It was considered that a large business and correspondingly largo profits could be made from an enterprise, the object of which was so good. It was argued, and properly, that the church being in point of uumbers tho largest in the country, its members would heartily support an institution established ou a basis of charity to tho survivors of tho ministers of their church. These expectations of tho founders of tho -'Book Concern" wero only in certain particulars realized for while the business was im raeuBe, the profits wero never great, and it is said by Methodists themselves that those for whom the oarnings of tbe estab lishment were intended have been very littlo benefitted by them. It is well known to the trade that the profits of the book trade lie in publishing, and not in tbe mere selling of books, yet while the jeturns of the New York Concern have never been over four per cent., a branch house elsewhere which publishes nothing, but simply sells the works published by the principal establishment, makes six teen per cent, profit. This would indicate that there has either been bad management all round, or that the alleged pe mutations of the parties charged with them have been greater in extent than is yet known or suspectod.

Reduction of Telegraphic Torts. As announced oarly last week the Western Union Telegraph Company- dead loss was the consequence, have arranged a newsystomof rates for private telegrams to go into effect on the first of October, and which will m*ko a material, reduction in the present prices On some of the lines, it is said, the reduction will amount to as much as 40 and 50 per cent. This new system of charges is based upon the air-line principle. The adoption of an air-line tariff will of necessity greatly diminish many existing charges. Offices fifty milci apart geo graphically, but whose messages to each other have to pass over a circuit of twice that distancs, will have, so far as cost is concerned, all tho advantages of a direct line. A large number of places will bo thus benefitted. One tariff, irrespective of route, will also enable the Company to use any accessible wire for hastening on messages without additional charge to the sender, and without complication oi checks. This will, of course, reduce tho revenue on certain classosof business, but the managers are confident that by means of the reduction more people will be in duced to palroni/.o the wiros, and henco bring greater profit in the end. Their supposition is correct. Reduction in cost of sending telegrams will work as has the reduction in the carriage of letters.— When ten cents postage was charged the support of the mail service was a heavy expense to the government: when it was reduced '.o five cents, the revenue was increased and the burthen of expense correspondingly lightened since iu reduction to three cents, it has become almost self-supporting and whenever it is made one cent, it will not enly pay its own expenses, but yield the government a handsome revenue. The same rule will work to tbe profit of telegraph lines. When the government assumes control of this last mail, as it should have done long ago, and soon must do, tbe rates can be put down to one-flfih the present tariff, nod the lines still be more than self.supporiiog. We live in the hope of thia & Od 5l»y speedily to come.

from the Buffalo Ixpress.] The great preacher never sleeps with his clothea on. Once, when remonstrated with upon tho singularity of hls conduct in this respect and the pernicious effect the example might possibly have upon tbe younger members of bis congregation, ho replied with the irakk and open candor that has alwavs characterized him, that be would give" worlds to be able to rid himself of the custom—and added that the anguish he had suffered in tryice to break himself of the habit bad made him old before he was ninety. Mr.

that

story for publication, and if her object in doing so was to stop the sale of Lord I5rBOit'8 poems, and if she knows ho'w Mrs.

Beecher never wears his hat at dmnOT. He does not consider it healthy. It does not immediately break down ones constitution, but it is slow and sure. He knows one case where a man persisted in the habit in spite of tho tears and entreat ies of his friends, until it was too late, and, be reaped the due reward of biB rashness —for ft carried him off at last, at Iheago of a hundred and six. Had that man listened to reason, ho might have lived to be a comfort to bis paranls and a solace to their declining years.

Mr. Beecher never swears. In all nis life a profane expression never passed hi? lips. But if be were to take it into his bead to try it, once, he would make even that disgusting habit eoam beautiful be would handle it as it was never handled before, and if there was a wholesome morall leson hidden away it anywhere, be would farret it out and use it with tremendous effect. Panoplied with his grand endowments—bis judgment, his discriminating taste, bis 'elicity of expression, bis graceful lancy-if Mr. Beeh er had a mind to swear, be would throw into it an amount of poetry, ana pathos, and splendid imagery, and moving earnestnefs, and resistless energy, topped off and climaxed with a gorge nw pyrotechnic conflagration of filagree ana fancy awearing, that would astonish and delight tho bearer and forever after quiver through bis bewildered memory an exejuie ite confusion of rainbows and music and thunder and lightning. A man of a high order of inteUot and appreeatibn could sit and listen to Mr. Beecber swear for week without getting titel.

Mr. Beecher is very regular in his hab itB- He always goes to bed promptly Between nine and tbree clock, and nev er upon any account allows himself to vary from this rulo. Ho is just as par ticular about getting up, which he does the next day, generally. He considers that to this discipline, and to this alone, ho is indebted for the rugged health be has enjoyed ever since he adopt

6*Mr. Beecber does not go around and set advertisements for the "Plymouth Pulpit." If he does, it is without his knowledge or consent. If such a report bas been started, it is an absolute duty to refute it in tbis article. However, no such report has yet been heard of, and therefore, it is not necessary to more than refute it in a purely general way at this timo. Mr. Beecher could augment the bulk of the pamphlet to which his ser mons are attached if he choose to go round and solicit advertising, but he would not dream of doing such a thing He has no time for such recreation. He has to preach, and he has to make the dedication speeches for all sorts of things, and he is obliged to make a few remarks on nearly all distinguished occasions, be cause very often Mr. Greeley is busy and cannot come. And bosides, he has to carry on his farm.

Mr. Beecher's farm consists of thirty six acres, and is carried on on striet scien tific principles. He never puis in any part of a crop without consulting his book. He plows and reaps and digs and sows according to the best authorities and the authorities cost more than the other farming implements do. As soon as tbe library is completed, tho farm will begin to be a profitable investment. But book farming has its drawbacks. Upon one occasion, when itjseemed morally certain that the hay book could not be found—and before it w»g found it was too late, and tbe hay was all spoiled.— Mr. Beecher raiies some of the finest crops of wheat in the country, but the unfavorable difference betweeo tho cost of producing it and its markot value after it is produced has interfered considerably with its success as a commercial enterprise. His special weakness is hog?, however.

Ha considers hogs the best game a farm produces. He buys the original pig for one dollar nnd a half, and feeds him forty dollars' worth of corn, and then sells him for about nine dollars. This is the mly ciop ho ever makes ami money on. Bo loses on the corn, but he makes seven dollars and a half on the-bog. He does not mind this, btcauae be never expects to make anything on corn, any way.— And any w*y it turns out, he has the excitement of raising the bog any how, whether bo gets tbe worth of him or not. His strawberries would be a comfortable success if the robin would oat turnips, but they won't and hence the difficulty.

One of Mr. Beecher's most harassing difficulties in his farming operations com^s of tho

cIojo

resemblance of diflVr-

ent sorts of seeds and plants lo eachotbor. Two yenrs ago his far-sightedness warned him that there was going to bo a great scarcity of watermelons, and therefore bo put in crop of twenty-seven acres of that fruit. But when they came up they turned out to ba pumpkins, and a dead loss was the consequence. Sometimes a portion of his crop goes into the ground the must promising Bweet potatoes and comes up the infernalist carrots— though 1 never have heard him express it just in that way. When he bought his farm he found one egg in every hen's nest on the place. He said that here was just the reason why so many farmers failed— they seattered tbeir forces too much—concentration was the idea.

S he gathered those eggs together and put them all under one experienced old ben. That hon roosted over that contract night and day for eleven weeks, under the anxious supervision of Mr. Beecher himself, but she could not "phase" those eggs. Why? Because they were those iutamous porcelain things which are used ,by ingenious and fraudulent farmers as "nest eggs." But perhaps Mr. Boecher's must disastrous experience was the time he tried to raise an immense crop of dried apples. He planted fifteen hundred dollars worth, but never a one of them Sprouted. He has never been able to understand, to this day, what was the matter with those apples.

Mr. Berber's tarm is not a triumph. It would be easier on bim if he worked it on shares with some one, but he cannot find anybodr who is willing lo stand half the expense, and not many that are able. Still, persistence in any cause is bound to succeed. He was a very inferior farmer when be first began, but a prolonged aud unflinching assault upon bis agricultural difficulties bas bad its effect a last, and be i3 now fast rising from offlueoce to poverty.

I shall not s*y anything about Mr. Beecher's sermons. They breathe the truest and purest spirit ol religion they are models of pulpit oratory, and they are proofs that tbe scbjecta which ia the nearest to tbe-intereslsof mankind can be put to nobler uses than the chloroformiog of congregations.

Mr. Beecher bas done more than any other man, perhaps, to inspire religion with the progressive spirit of the nineteenth century, and make it keep step with the march of intellectual achievement and tbe generous growth of man's charities and hoeral impulses. It is such men as Beecher that persuade religious communities to progress to something bet" tor than witch burning when the spirit of the timo progresses from ox-wagons to stage-coaches, and by and by to steamboats and who persuade such communi

ties to progress beyond the indoning of slavery with their Bibles when the spirit of the time progresses to the subordina tion of the steamboat tt the railroad and the discarding of pony expresses for the telegraph. He has done as much as any man to keep tbe people from reading their Bibles by the interpretations of tbe eighteenth century while they were living far along in the nineteenth. His name will live. His deeds will honor his memory. He has set his mark upon his epoch, and years hence, when the people turn over the bales aud bundles of this, generation's ideas, tbev will find "H. W.

R." atenciled on a good many of them. Mask Twaiw.

Two Children Kicked to Death by a Vicious Horse, Near Canonaville, Delaware county, N Y-, there occurred, on Wednesday of last week, one of those accidents which thrill the community with horror, and cause parents to shudder as they contemplate what may happen to their own offspring. It seems that Mrs. Augustus Flowers, the wife of a farmer, bad prepared dinner, and desiring ber husband to come to his meal, sent two children, aged respectably three and five years, to call him. Soon after, tbe mother was horrified beyond ex' pression to see her husband enter the house bearing tbe two little ones in bis armsone a lifeless mass of ragged flesh and blood, while the other was senseless from a terrible blow on the ^lead, from the et facts of which it died the next day. I appears that the children, in going for tbeir father, bad to pass through a pasture containing a vicious horse, which attacked them with all the fury of madness biting, kicking and stamping the poor unfortunates to deatb. The tatLer hear ing cries of distress, hsstened to the trag ical scene, but too late to save either tbe fated ones.

True Version of a Daring ActA reporter of the San Francisco Cbron icle visited Admiral Farragut recentlj and during his interview alluded to the battle of Mobile Bay and the famous story of the Admiral being lashed to the mast-head of his flag ship, the Hartford and gallantly leading her into action.

Admiral Farragut interrupted bim saying the whole story was purely a fiction.

Reporter—At least the story has been allowed to remain uncontradicted for a long time. Will you, Admiral, be kind enough to tell me to what cause or incident ils origin is due?

Admiral—With pleasure. It will afford you an evidence of how a well-told and plausible story, frequently repeated, becomes universally accepted as fact. A.t the commencement of the battle of Mobile Bay, for tbe purpose of obtaining tbe best viow of the movements of the enemy and to better govern the fleet under my oommand, got into the lower part of the rigging of tbe Hartford, just above what is known es tbe hammock railing.

Reporter—Was not your position fraught with great peril? Admiral—I did not think so but it was fraught with great discomfort. As the smoke ascended from the heavy cannonading my view beoame more obscured and I was compelled to ascend the rigging, gradually, until finally I got some little distance beneath tbe main-top. -At this juncture Captain Percival Drayton—

Reporter—Your Fleet Captain, was he not? Admiral—Yes, tirj Captain Drayton fearing, he said, that I might fall overboard, in case of baing wounded, called one of the Quartermaster's and cutting off a piece of the signal halyards (a small rope) ordered him to bring it up to me that I might render my position moro secure. With this rope I attached myself to the rigging.

Reporter—You were not near the masthead then Admiral—I was not.

Reporter—It is understood that you fired guns from tha mast-head is it true?

Admiral—It is tbe only true part of tho story. I did have a orew in the masthead who were firing guns—two twentyfour pound howitzers. This style of warfare is a favorite theory of mine. I practiced it throughout the war.

Reporter—Did all the vessels of your fleet battle after a similar fashion Admiral—Yes, sir all fought with guns in the topj, and Irom the advantage of their elevation, did considerable execution in their engagements with the forts.

Out of this fact Admiral Farragut's having been some distance up in tbe rigging has grown the famous story "Farragut at the Masthead." It is almost cruel to destroy so interesting a fiction but the truth of history requires it.

A Bengal Tiger Loose.

French Mountain, between Glenn's Falls, New York, and L*ke George, was the scene of a genuine sensation during the sojourn of Campbell's Circus and Megagerie at that village last week. At a late hour one night, long after tho audiience had been dismissed and the canvas pulled down, the watchman left in charge observed a large animal dart across bis path and almost instantly vanish in the darkness. Suspecting at once that some one or more of the wild beasts bad escaped from their bondage, he hastened to where the cages wore corralled, and discovered that the largest of the two elephants had drawn the stake to which he had been fastened, and had upset tbe cage of the Bengal tiger, breaking the doors and bending the bars in such a manner as to allow the animal to escape. To run to the hotel, awaken the elephant-driver, and summon all hands, was tbe work of a moment. The elephant was, in a short time, securely fettered, and a search for the truant tiger commenced. Tbe scene was one of indescribable excitement.— None but two of the most resolute of the fellow-men would lead in the search, the remainder following at a respectable distance and ia the greatest trepidation.— Tbe tiger was not long in making known his whereabouts, for the bleating of a calf, in pain and terror, indicated that his royal.highness was satiating bis gluttonous appotite on veal. The leading spirits of the hunt approached, and, by the aid of their torches, discovered that the tiger bad stricken down a yearling heifer, and was crouched over the dying animal, greedily lapping the blood which spurted from a large wound in its neck,

A plan for capture was goon devised, and Mr. Okm Kink, the keeper of tbe tiger, at once set about putting it in practice. He procurred a rope, and making a noose in the form of a lariat, be ascended by a ladder from tbe outside of tbe shed to a window, from whence be passed to tbe rafters immediately over the tiger. He then gave a load shout which caused the tiger to look upward, giving Mr. King an opportunity to throw a lariat over the animal's bev?, which feat he dexterously accomplished. Drawing bis rope taut, be made it last to a beam, and another rope was passed to him, with which he succeeded in lassooing tbe tiger in the same manner as before. Mr. King then threw the end of one rope to a party of men near the entrance to the shed, and when they had secured it be threw the end of the other rope to aLOther party, and t*ie two lines were at once stretched, each party walking in an opposite direction. When the tiger would make a rush at one group of his emptors, tbe others would haul taut on their line, and thus prevent him from doing any mischief.— After much exertion, aud several ludicrous stampedes, from the bystanders, he was dragged back to his cage, which had in the meantime been repaired. When he came in view of his den he bounded in of bis own accord but the attendants, in their haste to secure him, closed the iren door too suddenly, and severed about a foe* of his #Lsj«st?'» tail.—Troy2j

r" Are all Saicides Insanei

froditha Hew York San.]

Three cases of suicide were recorded in this city yesterday. In two of these the cause of self-destraction la said to have! been temporary insanity.

One of tbe cases was that of a Frenchman who killed himself by swallowing poison but what kind of poison could not be ascertained without a post nwriim examination. He was fonnd dead in a stable up town. His son thought he had been partially insane for some time past.

The other is one of the moet determined cases of suicide that has ever come to our knowledge. A elerk in a wholesale grocery and drag store, went from his house, in Twelfth atreet, early in the morning, and returned by nine o'clock, stating that he had taken an oance of laudanum so as to kill himself. The family physician was immediately sent for, but be took two ounces of laadanum more before tbe doctor reached tho house.— He said he was determined to die. The doctor, with the assistance of two men, walked him about as long as he was able to stand but he soon sank down, and it was impossible to save him. Tbe evidence before tbe Coroner showed that for some weeks he bad been insane.

It has lately become customary in Eng land for the juries at inquests on the bodies cf suicides lo return a verdict of death due to insanity. Two reasons have led to this. It is becoming more and more generally believed that those who commit suicide are actually insane, and in England there is so great a prejudice against allowing the body of one who had killed himself to be buried in a church cemetery that a verdict of temporary insanity is an act of valued kindness to the relatives if not of justice to the deceased.

But we are inclined to think that almost all suicides are attributable to temporary derangement.

Persons who bad committed suicide were formerly ignominiously buried in the highway, with a stake driven through the body. This usage, once a legal one, was prohibited by a law passed in the time of George IV., and coroners were directed to have the bodies of suicides interred privately in the parish burial ground, at night, between the hours of nine and twelve.

The coroners, however, not unfrequenlly find difficulty in complying with this law. A cise lately occurred in lli9 south of Ireland of the disinterment by the populace of the body of a suicide which had been placed in consecrated burial ground. Tbe authorities were compelled to remove it by night ten or twelve miles, before they could find a cemetery in which it would be allowe4 to remain undisturbed,

The Rout of Ibe Gold Gamblers. For tbe ruin wrought among the immediate actors in the WalMt. mob yesterday we have no regreiB. Tiiey took tbe ruks with their eyes open, and must accspt the results. A. chooses to bet that Gold will be lower to-morrow, and sells short. B. chooses to bet that it will be higher, and buys on a ridiculous margin, which an hour's fluctuations m^y swallow. O. and D. choose to combine to attempt controlling all the Gold in the market, to prevent A. from procuring tbe means to fulfill his short contract, except at extravagant rates to go into their pockets. We regard tbe contest with serene composure, and see no cause Tor regretting anything in the matter save that A., B., O', and D. cannot all impartially and inevitably lose by the same operation.

Neither can we no longer deplore tbe danger to business interests. Tbe conspiracy to force up the price of Gold bas broken down in the very midst of its alarming success. We said yesterday that ten days ago Gold sold at 135, and ten days hence it was almost certain to bo back again to 135. Tbe words cametruo even sooner tban we thought. Gold roso yesterday to 161, and fell within an hour to 133, closing in the neighborhood of 134, and seeming very likely to sink gradually still lower. For a few days business has been interrupted, values nave been unsettled, wide-rspread distress has been wrought but now regular transactions are likely to be speedily resumed, and at any jate the worst has passed.

What we most regret in tbe record ot yesterday's wild doings ij that tbe conspirators were eutfered to oscape without paying tribute to the country whose credit they have been assailing, and whoso business they havo so wantonly disturbed. VVe thank Secretary Boutwell for his inference but we could have wished that tbe Government as well as tho Wall street bears bad profited by it. It was offective it only needed to have come in the shape of actual sales instead of notice of sale to have mado it largely profitable as well. Why should not the Government take 1G0 for its gold, if Mr. Fisk chooses lo put the price up to that, in stead of giving him timely warning to stand from under, and then taking 135? The grain dealer sells his wheat when he can get a high price for it—he does not go upon an excited market with the announcement that on a certbin day he is going to sell an enormous amount, and so break down the price in advance. Why should not the Government lake advantage of high prices it? woll as individuals

But to-day shall not be madedUinttl by complaints. Tho dangerous conspiracy in Wall-st.baa been broken up the Sec retary of the Treasury has missed his opportunity for direct gains, but he bas interfered in time to work a large general good the utterly hollow and fictitious nature of the rise in Gold and depreciation in bonds has been exposed and to.day, wi'.h tbe movement in each reversed, we resume an advance, that the Secretary may make steady and swift, if he will, toward the time wben tbeir values shall be the same.—New
