A Contrast.

A Lieutenant of the United States Array, who i* believed by nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine, out of every tent hju-and people, in this State, to have committed a moit cowardly and brutal murder, and who escaped the gallows on the "momentary insanity" dodge, is deemed worthy of repeated honorable personal mention in the Indianapolis paper*. and his name in continually thrust upon public notice, a* if he were worthy to associate with honest, men. In this way thefoulejt crime brought

respectable through the agency that should be the greatest conservator of pubiic morality.

In the same city, -4 ^voinan,—a true wife and kind mother,—charged with similar crime, but of whose guilt the public mind has never been satisfied, has been hunted down tmd relentlessly perne cuted by the press for years.

It is very likely that the Woman is guillv i1. is certain that the Lieutenant is. Ilqw, then, is he entitled to more respect than she?'''

He is knotfn to have pitilessly killed his victim in cold Blood, bng after the alleged offence had been committed, if indeed it eyer^was committed jind the poor wretch fell before the assassin's pis tol, into the cold embrace of death, with :i vehement protestation of inuocence on his lipbT.! She swpccted

of having had a

A Curious Discovery.

A man at Conjtantinople, having left in charge of a friend of his a purse without seam or joint, in which he had placed a considerable number of diamonds, complained on his return from travel that his number of je\vels was not correct. The friend maintained the integrity of his trust, and adduced as proof, the entire woof of the purse, in which neither seam nor joint appeared, and the seal of the owner still remained untouched, at the mouth of the purse. The owner of the jewels was forced to admit both facts, but still persisted that the amount of diamonds was no longer what lie had left. The case was brought before more than one magistrate, but nothing could be elicited on the subject, and the unaltered condition of the purse which the owner could not deny, was considered conclusive evidence against his claim. In despair he applied to the Sultan himself and the strange persistency of this de mand impressed the latter so much that though compelled, upon the face of the facts, to dismiss his claim as^ untenable, the subject remained impressed on his mind, and induced him to try the follow ing experiment: At prayer the next morning, when the siave who usually brought the carpet upon which he knelt had withdrawn, he made a long slit in it, and left it to be again withdrawn, by the slave. When the latter came to fulfill his duty of rolling up and remov ing the precious carpet, he remained aghast at the injury it had received, and immediately apprehending the dreadful effects of'the Hultan's displeasure hastened with'tlie rug to'the quarter of the city where certain cobblers resided, and, seek' ing out one' peculiarly renowned for skill, committed it to his best exercise of it, and so restored it that the next morning it laid Rpread for (he Sultan's use, without the trace of either damage or repara tion. The Sultan no sooner perceived what had been done than 'he called the slave, who tremblingly confessed what he had done. ^Ile was immediately dis •.^atcTiedTn search of (lie pre eminent cobit£rV and when the man appeared before the Sultan, the latter sending for the sealed pursg abotit \y.hich the controversy. had been held, charged him with having in like manner repaired a slit in the woof of the apparently uninjured bag.

The man instantly* admitted the fact, and tlvus the declaration, of the poor defrauded friend and diamond owtier w«3 sub stanliatedv.-_._ ..

Encroachments of the Sea.

I Jinglaud is gradually approaching America. If the process which has been going on for many hundreds of years concontinues unchecked for as many thousands, the inhabitants of the State of

Labrador may look across the gradually narrowing waste of waters in the year of our Lord 11,S71, and see the west coast of England so near that the Atlantic will be reduced to a strait.' It is a well-known fact that the sea is encroaching slowly Hpon the east of England, and that on the west the land is gaining on the sea. J. The latest startling reminder of this is a land-slip at Whitby, a town on the sea to the north of Scarborough. The people living under what is known as the East

Cliftj late one night in December last,

were rudely aroused from their slumbers by the cracking of walls and ceilings, which told them that their real estate was about to be "conveyed" in a manner extremely unsatisfactory to the owners.

The -alarm spread, and by moonlight the people prepared to remove their goods. The mass of earth moved steadiTy but slowly, and by the next night it had come to rest, a large part of the vil jlage and the whole of "the village grave f'yiird having been pushed out to sea, where the waves were tearing to 1 [pieces the frail houses and preparing their forces for a new attack on the cliff,

Sbrtuoately the motion of the caving earth was so slow that there was no loss oflife, but the destruction of property Was great. It is 83 years since a similar slip occurred at Whitby, but elsewhere on the coast the progress of the sea has been greater and not less perceptible, because unmarked by extensive caving like that which has just taken place. On old Yorkshire maps are still to be seen, beyond the present coast line, the names of a dozen places "lost at sea," and authentic records exist that Hornsea, now a coast town, was once ten miles inland. similarly hostile movement of the feafifs destroying with irresistible attacks a portion of the coast of our own beloved New Jersey. ..

COBWljBR,

With fatt that falter as I KO. Then Mower step, and yet more slow, lj'l» the steep stair I clamber Just the day dies down the west. And night is born, and sombre guesf 1 near the haunted chamber-

I stand before the eilent door. Where love has cried "como in" before To lift the latch my hand advance? -, I look, I almost hope to see The face I loved look oat to me

With all its happy, old time glances

There on the door that once fcwung free. Each golden hour to welcome me. Some grief or gladness bringing fa dusty shred* that float end fall Like sorrow's shroud and coffin pall.

The cobwoba old are clinging. I turn once more down the stair, I will not, will not enter there:

The dusty, floating cobwebs chide me. Their curtains drawn before the door That checks my entrance as before.

That shadowy stillness, all decide me.

By blinded eyes my feet are stayed. My heart is once more unafraid, My tears thoshadows banish The cobwebs gathered on my heart By sorrow'srain are swept apart,

My foolish fears will vanish- ...

I open wide the long shut door, 1 I step across the echoing floor, And swinging back the shutter,a The mellow summer moon looks in As if my lonely heart to win

From thoughts I cannot utter.

"Dear heart," I murmurthen with tears, "In nil the busy coming years. This room shall be my chosen altar Forever more its deor shall be Left wide open to welcome me,

When up these steps my feet shall falter.

A STEAM SIMROI?.

--i,.

Hunting

Antelopes With' a boat.

Steam

The following extraordinary narrative is taken from a recent number of the Sioux City

Journal:

"One of the most remarkable, as well as one of the most exciting, hunts that ever occurred on the Missouri River was witnessed by those on board of the steamer Peninah, on her last trip up the river, while on her road to Fort Bice, Dacotah Territory,loaded witli UnitedStateu troops, When within sixty miles of Fort Rice, herd of antelope was discovered quietly feeding on the bank of the river, and within one hundred yards of the boat, as she rounded a bend. Captain Brady was the first to discover them from his posit ion in the pilot-house, and called for Mr. Hampton, clerk of the boat, to take shot. He started forward, with carbine in hand, as did three or four soldiers who were on the deck at the time, and all fired together. The remainder of the men be ing down below and not aware of what was going on, were startled when the shots were tired. In an instant all was confusion on board. Some in their alarm believed it to be an Indian attack, doubt less, that Spotted Tail & Co. were taking that means of showing their appreciation of the honors which were so lavishly bestowed upon them on the occasion of their recent visit to Washington. Others im agir.ed the boats to be sinking, and were making frantic appeals to the pilot to have soundings made, so that they could calculate their chances for a wade. But neither of the surmises were correct, for the innocent cause of the excitement, as soon as the shots were fired, started on a run toward the boat, as in the opposite direction the bluffs at this point were so high that they could not climb them. "Now ensued a scene that bafHe3 de scription. All hands were armed and popping away. 'Here they come!' 'There they go!' 'Whoop, hurrah!' and confu sion reigned supreme. Away went the antelopes, taking a backward direction along the beach. Back went the boat, Bang, bang, went the muskets! Ding, ding, went the engine's bell, calling on the engineer to back with all speed, soas to keep within musket shot. 'Hurrati, ther goes one,' is the shout, and the cook of the boat, who up to this time had pre served his wonted dignified equilibrium suddenly upset a pitcher of hot water on a lame dog, who, unaware of the battle without, was slyly appropriating a piece of hi3 buffalo steak to his heirs and as signs forever. It is needless to say that he lost his appetite by the warm applica tion administered to him. "The antelopes commence failing! 'Man the yawl,' shouts the Captain, 'and pick up the dead.' Away goes the yawl away go the remaining antelopes and on comes the steamer puffing and blowing, as if it were fully conscious of the intense excitement pervading all on board. "No more antelopes were now seen, and preparations were made to go ahead when the chambermaid (a, newly enfran chised citizeness), who had taken up her position on the top of the laundry to watch events, suddenly discovered 'one more unfortunate,' and the last of his herd, making a bold efl'ort for life by swimming the river. "'Yer! Yer! Come here, ye sogers' is heard, and with majestic wave of the hand and extended eye-balls, she directs attention to the game. 'Thur he goes In an instant a score of rifles crack, and the poor antelope sinks to rise no more "In the meantime the yawl has not been idle, and several are the reward of their labors. The yawl returns to the boat and the hunt is ended, all congratu lating themselves upon its successful ter mination. "The most singular part of the fun lies in the fact that there were but seven an telopes killed, and as each man and the chambermaid claim to have killed from three to four each, mathematics were of no use in deciding the figures. "With a whistle of victory the boat headed upstream, and here' ended the greatest of all modern achieevmenU hunting antelopes with a steamboat!"

Tummany Officials and IIow.They Live. From tho Now York Times.]

Woodward, assistant to Reeves E. Pal mer, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors owns a place at Norwalk, Connecticut worth $150,000. It surpasses any tiling of the kind in the town, and is the envy of all the old and wealthy residents.— Previous to entering Tammany's service Woodward was a poor man. His prop erty is now estimated to be worth $500,000.

Watson, County Auditor under Con troller Connolly, has built a handsome mansion at the corner of Forty-second Street and Madison avenue, costing$150,000. He lives in sumptuous style, and drives down to his official business in a liveried equipage. He visits^ Albany during the Legislative sessions for the purpose of Looking after the tax levy.

Leverich, formerly a stenographer, is now accumulating a fortune under Tammany.

Cornelius Corson is the owner of property valued at $500,000. About eight years ago he was a poor reporter connected with the Erpre*s. He attached himself to Tweed, and served his master and himself with commendable zeal. The

Ti-antcript

newspaper, perhaps the most

stupendous swindling jeb that any civilized community has ever been burdened with, was started by Corson and others. Tweed was taken into partnership, and the enterprise was immediately patronized by the city governmnnt, and received all the city advertising at an outrageously high profits, and furnished Charles E. Wilbour, Corson and Tweed with immense dividends. Corson is Chief of the so-called Bureau of Elections, one of Tweed's appointments, and has the distribution of a large nnmber of sinecure positions. His appointees draw pay from the City Treasury all ihe year round, but perform very little work in return. Before Corson's attachment to Tammany he did pot know what it was to ride in a carriage, but now he is the possessor of an elegant stable and stocked with blooded animals.

QUEER SERMONS.

Carious

Application of Biblical Tests.

From the Christian Union.]

One he^rs Scriptural quotations quaiqt- From the HartfofA BraalnrPost.] Iv applied or grotesquely misapplied,

although the instances are less abundant,

This unequal yoking of text and sermon recalls a story of the famous old colored preacher of Vermont. "Father'' Haines was present at ajclerical association when a sermon was read which had not the remotest coherence with his text when Mr. Haine^ turn as critic came he remarked dryly, "Well, I don't know aa I've got any thing to say about the sermon, only if you should ever want to marry it t6 the text, nobody could forbid the bans, because there ain't' any blood relation between 'em." The same judgment might have been passed upon a sermon once preached by the Rev. Mr. Spaulding (an early pastor of the Tabernacle Church, Salem, Massachusetts,) from the text, "And there was a rainbow round about the throne yet one can but admire the ingenuity even if he can not accept the conclusions, of this zealous Pedobaptist, who contrived to express from the text the doctrine of infant baptism! The only part of the argument which has come down to me is this, which the most obstinate immersionist can not gainsay: "It is impossible to have a rainbow without sprinkling."

Those who are familiar with that rich and rare old book, "Turnall's Christian Armor," will recall the somewhat violent, but often exquisitely happy applications of Scripture with which every page abounds. I once heard, from a Welsh preacher, a sermon which was similarly pointed and adorned, and was, indeed, from first to last, an agreeable reproduction of Turnall's style of composition.— His theme was "God's Methods of Re claiming His Wandering Children." One scriptural application in point, which I remember, was as follows: "God often deals with us when we have become estranged from' Him, as Absalom did with Joab he had sent for Joab to come to him again and again, but he stubbornly refused then at last "Absalom said unto his servants: See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there, go and set it on fire and Absalom's servants set the field on fire." Then Joab arose and came to Absalom unto his house and said unto him, 'Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?' So God often sets fire to our barley-fields, not because He wants to destroy our barley, but because He wants to see our face and hear us speak to Him, if it is only to ask, "Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?"

Dr. H-, a former Professor of the East Windsor Theological Seminary, was singularly happy in his selection of texts, which won his hearers' interest from the outset of the discourse. On a sacramen tal occasion his text was, "This man re eeiveth sinners and eateth with them and an earnest sermon of mingled warn inga and encouragement, addressed to those who were no longer young, though still unconverted, was founded on the passage: "For the man was above forty years old on whom this miracle of healing was showed."

But let us leave the pulpit and come down to the pews. In a Vermont parish, years ago, there was an old soul, whose intelligence was just on a par with that of Cowper's woman who yet outshone the "brilliant Frenchman," beoause "she knew her Bible true." But good Brother L. shamed wiser men by his delight in social worship, and his feeble voice was often heard in ejaculatory prayer or exhortation. On one occasion the silence which sometimes broods like a horrid nightmare over conference meetings, was suddenly dispelled by Brother L.V pip ing note: "I've thought o' a word—," a pause followed, and then he despairingly clutched his straw-colored thatch and said: "There, it's gone," and incontinently fell to praying without any warning. No words were audible at first, but finally the good man cried out vehemently, "O Lord, give us more sycamore trees!" and took his seat, but instantly hopped up again with, "O, I've thought o' that word the Psalmist says my heart is 'diting a good matter I think we all ought to have oar minds 'diting good matter." This supplementary remark gave the minister time to puzzle out the arboral allusion of the prayer and to make forcible application of the fact that it was by the help of a sycamore tree "that little Zaccheus overcame his 'native ina bility' and all surrounding hindrances in his eager determination 'to see Jesus who He was.' In the parish adjoining the scene of the last story, there is a man who always astonishes any stranger who may chance to be present at a meeting of the church in which he takes part, by offering this petition: "O grant that the form of the Fourth may be here." The initiated, however, understand that this is not a geometric proposition, but a reference to the experience of the Three Children, when One was seen walking with them in the fiery furnace, "and the form of the Fourth was the Son of God."

The Song of the Shirt.

Gail Hamilton has a lively treatise, in a current magazine, on the '"Song ot me Shirt" and collateral topics, which is full of suggestivness. She says some things that are too seldom said, and things that American women need sorely to think about: "There is just so much sewing to be done so much family sewing that needs trained hands so much slop-work sewing, that untrained hands can make shift to do. The trained hands are few, and they command the market. They are called fashionable milliners and dressmakers. They open shops they set up clothing establishments they ask great, perhaps extortionate prices, and they make fortunes. The untrained hands are many, and at the mercy of the market. They must take what they can get. Because they are many, there is competition and starvation wages follow. There being only so much coarse work to be done, the greater the number of workers the greater the sub-division of wage3. There jeing so much fine work to do, the fewer the workmen the larger the portion ofwages to each one. If the woman is dissatisfied with making shirts at six cent* a piece, let her make dresses at fifteen dollars. But she does not know how.— What, then, is she complaining of? Must the employer who wants shirts, and does not want dresses, pay for one and receive the other? No, it is said but the employer who wants shirts made should pav a living price. Not in the least. Whether the price be living or dead is no affair of his. It is his solely to pay the sum necessary to get the work done, it is not a question of morality. It is a question of market price. You have no more right to demand of a man that he shall pay twelve cents for work that he can buy at six, than he has to demand that he shall pay twelve dollars a barrel for flour when you can get it for five. Morality and philanthropy and sentimentality are entirely out of place here.— They may come in to relieve individual1 offering, bnt they contribute nothing to! the solution of the problem. We pay for things what they are worth—extra price"5 for extra quality. Extra price for com--n mon quality may be charity or short-! m'ghtedness, but it is not trade." I dcciO-deodCw

One or two journals whose conductors have retained a personal regard for Mr. Dana, have evinced a disposition to aeeept the expiration and exonerate him from the blame and the shame.of it. The general opinion, however, seems to be that for the nmples^^of gain he has bartered away a decent reputation, brought disgrace upon the profession of journalism, and detprved the social and professional ostracism which has been visited upon him.

Without discussing the question whether he is guilty of.all that has been charged against him, it strikes us that there is a very practical" lesson in the fate which has overtaken bim which may be read with profit by all who have anything to do with theoonductof a public journal. Mr. Dana started in

The dodge for a campaign had grown to be the ruling idea of the whole management. The thing was found to pay in

pecuniary sense. Flocks of fools read And laughed over it,' and talked about it and advertised it, and its circulation grew to a large figure. Mr. Dana, the ruling spirit of the concern, began to see that there Was money t6" be gained in it even if character was lost. He had not been financially successful before. It

turbed his complacency that people called him a financial failure.. He was ambitious. to show them that he did have the. ability to make money. And so having begun by throwing overboard that high regard for truth and honesty which no man, can sacrifice and remain in any sense a gentleman, it came easy to, him to unload' the Sun of whatever was left of honor or respectability and turn, the ship thus lightened into the wind's $ye of a finan-, cial success. Men are doing it in New York every day, and nothing was thought of it. He forgot the difference between men who had character to lose and those who had not between Charles A. Dana, the gentleman, and Jim Fisk, the peddler. And so from being a brilliant writer of insincere but keen and caustic par-^ agraphs, Mr. Dana came .very shortly to be a characterless libeller, and reckless retailer of indecent literature.

He made his paper essentially personal, infusing himself through all its departments, with the royal first person plural everywhere prominent so that for whatever of pecuniary success has attended it may claim the credit. He pays the penalty in being held personally responsible for its indecency, and forfeiting the recognition in society of respectable men and women.

The road lies open to other journalists. It begins with flippancy and insincerity a general notion that all men arc fools or knaves, and that it does not pay to be honest or truthful that upon the whole sincerity is weakness,and to lie by indirection is manly and bold and brilliant—and it ends—in a competence—in wealth perhaps—but rh Charles A. Dana. Is it worth the sacrifice?

The Sun

had

been an independent newspaper, with Democratic leanings, and a large circula tion among the Democratic masses. It occurred-to him upon taking charge of the paper, that he could do more for his party, and better promote the election of his friend, General Grant, by continuing a nominal independence, retaining its Democratio leaning, and in the attitude and relation of a quasi Democrat, seizing every opportunity to stab that party in the side and help its opponent, than by stating frankly his own views and making an open fight. And so he began by taking a position which no honest or sin' Cere man would under any circumstances have assumed. The editorial columns bore testimony daily to his skill in pull ing the wool over the eyes of the simpleminded whom he had undertaken to cajole. The careful reader saw in every line the insincerity and hypoorigy of the management thoughtful men who had known the editor when he seemed to have oonviotions, and to be sincere in maintaining them, puuded and wondered at the character he had assumed and politicians of hia own stamp rubbed their hands and pronounced it all very smart, and assured him he was doing a good work. IJe assumed to speak for the Democratio masses in the choice of Presidential candidate. Day after day he wrote long artioles in favor of Chase, from which there could be no other inference than that he would support him if nominated. He fooled a great many simple-minded Democrats so completely that when, upon the defeat of Chase and nomination of Seymour, he said there was nothing to do now but go for Grant, they followed him.

OCR NEW YEAR'S GREETING

As we glance back over the work accomplished in seven short months, we are sure our customers will not wonder at onr feeling a little elated at our unusual, but not to as, unexpected success. Our first visit to Terre Hrute convinced us that here, of all the cities in this State, was most needed a reform in the vicious system upon which the Dry Goods business was being conducted. The motto of this sstem was, "Secure the very largest profit possible on every dollar's worth of goods sold." We believed a change was needed and that the people would generously support any firm who, disregarding the machinations of the old high-priced stores, would dare to write over their doors this opposite motto, Sell every dollar's worth of goods at the smallest possible profit consistent with safe business principles." In pursuance of this idea we marked out our course and have pursued it without fear •, or favor. We expected opposition, for we had beep informed of the plans laid for our discomfiture. We were not eveu sure that this opposition might not take the form of personal violence, so when the high-priced stores took this way to bolster up their failing fortunes, we were hardly disappointed. rf: ... i: f-r

OUR SUCCESS HAS BEES "UNPARALLELED!

At one bound onr store took its position at the head of the Dry Goodj Trade of Terre Haute. We had not mistaken popular sentiment. Congratulatory and on couraging messages and words came to us from every quarter, one and all hiddlnity us go forward and never for a moment to doubt the earnest sympathy aivlJuMrty good will of the great masses of the people. 0
