Thk

beauty of American women is far

above par in Europe, and especially in Germany. Half a dozen American belles send a whole German town distracted. It is not only their beauty and grace, bat their wit, spirit and happy audacity. The continental customs favor their triumphs. No girl in Germany ever dares say her soul is her own, let alone her body, An American girl, on the contrary, as'serts her freedom, and delights the '•German beaux, while she kindles sparks of hate in the bosoms of tho German maidens. The result is the conviction that America must be a great country, in creased emigration, and the consequent progress of civilization.

The

vote of Nebraska for the fifteenth

-^amendment will be given the moment the ^Legislature, largely Republican, is in sea sion. The next regular meeting is not till the winter of 1270-71. Gov.

Butler

is urgently invoked by the Republican papers of Nebraska to call a special session within thirty days, and their wish in warmly seconded by many journals in other States. We can see no good reason why the Governor might not, properly, acceed to the wishes of the Republicansof Nebraska and other States. The act would tend to settle the slavery question for all time, and take it completely out of .the politics of the country, a consummation eminently desirable.

some days ago, that

Boutwell

had sent ten expert

lady counters to New York, to count over sheets of paper and currency in the process of being printed there. The reliable Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia

Enquirer

has authority for stating

'that this action is not on account of any »-/,fear or suspicion that there ia anything 'wrong, but in pursuance of the policy ^adopted some time ago, by which daily .reports are made by telegraph toSecretary •iBouTWELL from the mill where the pamper is made, showing the number of sheets made that day, and the daily deliveries to each printer and officers receiving the paper. Those who receive it report daily its consumption, so that on each day every sheet can be accounted for on the books at the Treasury Department. It is to prove the correctness of this account that examiners will be sent at irregular periods inspect the sctock at the mills, ani at ho printers.

English journal gives an account

'of a cufious society in Naples, Italy, called the Camorra. The purpose of this society, it appears, is to attend to other peopie's business, whether they wish it or not, and extorting payment for so doing.

This strange society has been so severely dealt with by the present government that it has almost disappeared but many of -the members having been recently released from prison, the Camorra shows symptoms of revival, and the Italian journals are calling for its summary extermination. A Chicago cotemporary remarks that we have many Camorras in this country, every village having at least one, and small towns an average of prob1 ably half a dozen each but the members -being generally females, the Government doos not trouble itself about them, which 'is about the best way to deal with them, perhaps, after all.

Jmh L. Pike Pays (he Penalty of Crime. A Concord Choir Sings a Hymn.

Tie Bope too Long—The Victim I'nlled Down

Dying Speech of the Unfortunate Man.

^From tho Concord, N. H-, Correspondence of the Now York Sun, Nov. 9.] Josiah L. Pike was hanged in the court yard of the State Prison at VJoncord, N H„ to-i"

ii, day. Pike's father and grandfather both died of drink, and Pike himself was an abject slave of the bottle. He was the youngest of four children, and was born in Portsmouth, May 26th, 1837. From boyhood up he led a loose life. At the early age of 14, he served a term in the Charlestown State Prison for stealing. At the age of 21 he married Miss Lizzie Burnham, of Newburyport, and under her influence became a better man. She died, however, eighteen months after their marriage, and her husband again relapsed into his evil ways. It is said that Wnile the undertaker was preparing her corpse for burial, Pike became disgracefully drunk on the alcohol which was •used to moisten his dead wife's face.

He served in the earlier part of the war in the ffiw York 40th (Mozart) Regiment, and was severely wounded in the battle of Williamsburg, shortly after which he was discharged. He then enlisted in the Navy, and was again wounded in the attack on Fort Morgan, off Mobile. After his discharge he was sent to the Ipewich (Mass.) House of Correction for two years, for a robbery committed in Lynn, and on Ws release went to work for Thomas Brown, under the name of John D. Ross. •t. ®rown was 76 years of ago, and his wife was but two years younger. He was a farmer, was considered well

sprees while in

Browns employ, but he and Brown were always the best of friends, and parted with regret on the 29th of April before the murder. Pike went direct to Newburyport. where he dissipated his earnings in drink. He then visited his mother-in-law in that place, and received a warm welcome. She was in very needy circumstances, and her distress so preyed upon his mind, according to his own account, that he resolved to get some money for her at all hazards. He knew that his late employer had about $300 locked up in his desk, and he knew also that the key was kept in a certain drawn of another piece of furniture. Four or five more sprees confirmed him in his resolution to 8teal this money, and accordingly,

on the 7th of May, having

at 10 p. it speni Newburypor brook. He then went to Mr. Brown's house, in front of -which he arrived about 3 P. M.

it his last cent for a gill of liquor in

I*ikc entered the door yard, seized an age which lay there, and knocked at the kitchen door. It was opened to him by Mrs. Brown, who did not recognize him at first, but in a moment she screamed, "Oh! John Ross, is this you?" Without a word he felled her with the axe, and rushing into the house where the old man was reading newspapers by the fire, the murderer plnngea the axe into his head. He then rifled the desk of $500, rad after takin^aq overcoat, fled from the scene of

day's trd«n. Mr. Brawn, eoremd with and his wite, lay oa vhe ^pUr, jnit —ing, covered with mat*. Oft tabu aek«d what was the matter. Mr Btani relied "Nothing." Leary ^dled Charles Tj Brown from hu house anH sninmoned the neighbors. It was found that the old mkn had spent part of the night on his bod, and blood traces showed that it was he who covered up hh wife. Mrs. Brown never recovered consciousness, and died

W" .Her husband lived until the

13th, and fillly implicated John Ross as the murderer. Piko slept in Amesbary that night and hired a man to carry him to Newbuirport next morning, where he made a display of his ill-gotten gains, and where he was arrested at noon by means of a tin type likeness which had been sent thither from Hampton. The overcoat and $131 in cash and a silver watch were found in his possession, and some torn notes were discovered beneath his window, which, being put together, became damning evidence of his guilt.

He pleaded guilty at his examination, and was soon afterward indicted by the Grand Jury for murder. His case was called in the October term of the Supreme Judicial Court in Portsmouth, and oh the 30th of that month the jury found him guilty of murder in the first degree, whereupon he was sentenced to be hanged.

Pike was taken to the city on the 31st of November, and his conduct has ever since been very exemplary. He looked upon his approaching fate with indifference, and spent his time in seeking the consolation of religion. On Thursday he wrote letters to the two sons of the murdered couple, asking their forgiveness. Last night the Rev, Sullivan Holman sat #p with him, and he rested easily throughout.

After the convicts had eaten their breakfast and gone to their work this morning, the scaffold, which was built at Portsmouth, was borne into the hall of the prison, and erected within twenty feet of Pike's cell. It is constructed of the best New Hampshire white pine, and contains over five hundred feet of this timber.

This morning was bright and beautiful. Thousands of persons from the country round about were here early. Pike haq prepared his farewell addrcs.s,which was read from the scaffold by the Rev. Mr. Holman before the execution. Is was as follows: "I don't shirnk from my fate. I don't dread to die. I know how worthless my life is, and have faith in Christ for abetter hereafter. But I wish to leave a warning in my last words to those who are inclined toward intemperance. It has decided my fate and ruined my soul. I entreat those who deal in intoxicating drink to stop that dreadful work and oh, I implore their victims to stop before it is too late. As I hope to be forgiven the sins of a misspent life, I forgive all severity and injustice toward myself, and willingly commit my soul, wicked and unworthy as I have been, to the merciful Savior. And to my especial friends, who have given me sympathy, advice and encouragement during my stay in this prison, I can only return the heartfelt thanks of a dying man. I can feel what they have done for me, but I cannot utter my feelings. But commending them to God for his blessings, and imploring mercy for myself, I give you all my last farewell."

A choir of young women complied with his request, and sang one of his favorite hymns, beginning: "My latest sun is sinking fast my race ia nearly ran."

At the conclusion, all on the scaffold bowed in prayer, Pike kneeling by the side of the Chaplain, and, for the first time, evincing most unmistakable evidence of inner agony. After prayer Pike shook hands with all near him, bade each good-bye, and for nearly ten minutes was turned around and pulled about in the operation of tying and adjusting the noof and cap. Pike's face at this time was the

picture of inexpressible woe and despair. The Sheriff now advanced and said: "Jog siah L. Pike, I am now about to execute sentence passed upon you, and may God have mercey on your soul." As the last word escaped his lips, a deputy touched the fatal spring, and Pike fell a distance of six feet. The distance had been misalculated, and the poor fellow touched both feet on the stone floor below, being evidently conscious for two minutes, and making desperate exertions to raise his feet. "Pull him up," "pull him up," cried several of the crowd, and a deputy ascended the gallows and drew the writhing body up higher. Faces were blanched, stout men quivered, and even the surgeons were horror-stricken. The neck was partially broken, not at the first fall, however, but as the result of hoisting him up, and long suspension, and the three surgeons in attendance give it as their opinion that Pike was conscious when his feet touched the floor, and made desperate efforts to lift them up. This theory seems settled by the fact that at the end of seven minutes from his fall the pulse stood at 80, and lowered to 40 only at the end of 10 minutes. At the end of 15 minutes there was no pulsation at the heart, and at the end of half an hour the body was cut down to undergo a

examination to-night, ana fi

nally to be removed to Newbury, Mass., for burial. BRITISH MORALITY.

Trial of a Clergyman for Bastardy— The Harder of the innocents.

London Cor, Chicago Evening Journal.] Periodically we are enlivened by the publication of certain statistics that tell sad tale respecting the general morality of this great kingdom, Here is a pretty statement to go forth to the world concerning the land of shaftesbury: "There are about half a million of illegitimate children born every year in this country, and no less than between 75 and 90 per cent, of these die under five years of age, the relative proportion among legitimate children being between 15 and 30 per cent, only." Farther facts are given which go to show that in the great majority of instances these deaths are the result of actual murder. They have either been killed at once by their mothers, or put out to what are called "baby farmers," under whose hands they have undergone the slow process of starvation, or been othewise more rapidly disposed of. These are fearful facts to contemplate, but they are gravely put forth as facts, and by officials whose business it is to investigate them.

Well, we may judge pretty well where to look for the origin of the most of these cases. They are among the lower orders to a graet extent. Not so, however, always. The lower orders are imitative, and follow the example of their superiors. In the same papers containing these statistics will be found the following: "A bastardy order was made on Saturday by the magistrates at the Ledbury petty sessions against the Rev. J. Jackson, rector of the parish, who was charged by a cook who had been in his employ with having Beduced her. It will be remembered that on Sunday, the 3d instant, great excitement was caused in the parish church at Ledbury by the complainant advancing up the aisle toward the conclusion of divice service, carrying a child in her arms, of which Bhe loudly"proclaimed to the congregation that the Rev. Mr. Jackson, who occupied the pulpit at the time, was the father."

An agreeable moment that for a clergyman of the Established Church! The details of the trial have since been

ublished, and the charge substantiated the clearest evidence. One portion of the testimony was especially interesting, for it proves that the offense on one occasion was committed in the "apple room" of the rectory, while his own wife was holding a "mothers' meeting" in the drawroom. It is nonsense to repeat the twaddle about this being an isolated case, and that there are bad men everywhere. It is only one of a large number of isolated cases among English clergymen, and goes to prove the inherent rottenness of the English Church Establishment Cut the Church loose from the State, and let every tub stand on its own bottom,e., put every clergyman on his good behavior, and the Kngfiah pulpit would soon be weeded of its bad incumbents. It never will be before, or so long as the rector of Ledbury can hold his position in Bpite of the facts t|iat have just been developed.
