THE

City of Boston spent for printing

and stationery together during the fiscal year 1870-71 only $84,462 New York spends $540,235, and gets much less for the money.

THE

Indianapolis "News" has "flop

PONDEROUS

THE

as were the accounts Mayor

Hall submitted in his own, Connolly's, and Tweed's defence, and uninviting a® they were to casual investigators, the New York "Times" has sifted them to the bottom. The result is another expose of official corruption more damaging than the first, of which it is completely corroboratary. The figures in this case are taken from the Mayor's own statement) and if garbled the process was his own.

Germans of New York are giving

pretty positive indications that either they themselves or the Tammany thieves must leave the Democratic party. The Cincinuati "Times and Chronicle" thinks the only possible result of this proposition is that the honest Germans will take their departure. Tammany intends never to loosen its grip on the treasury keys as long as there is a dollar or a man left —the dollar to be stolen and the man to be educated and used as a repealer

IS Btated that the acquisition of waste numbers of rifles and cannon by Prussia in the late war, and the fact that she is supplying her army with arms of a different character, leaves her absolutely no room for storage, and obliges her to throw the old ones on the market. Strange to say, Japan is one of the heaviest buyers. That curious nation has already purchased 80,000 breech-loaders, and is contracting for as many more. Japan proposes to meet other nations upon an equality, both as to civil and military institutions.

Denouncing "Radical extravagance" is the "best holt" of our morning Democratic neighbor. This always seems to us one of the coolest things that Democracy can do. By their rebellion they created the debt, by their opposition to funding bills and all practical schemes for reducing taxation they throw obstacles in the way of those who would lighten its burdens, and by the continued rebellious attitude of the party in the South they add greatly to the current expenses of the government. And then they try to make party capital out'of the existence of a great national debt and the consequent burden of taxation. The illustration is an old but extremely apt one which compares the position of the Democracy to that of the ingenious person who cruelly murdered both parents and then earnestly besought the court to "have mercy on a poor orphan."

"Bv WHAT right," asks the "World," "should Tammany, had it fifty Andrew Garveys in its pocket, assume to control the Democratic party of New York State and of the nation?" "By no right, that we know of," replies the "Tribune," "except the simple fact that Tammany has controlled the Democratic party for many years. The Democracy of New York State, the hay-loft and cheese-press patriots, as they are contemptuously styled by metropolitan rum-shop statesmen, are merely the servants of the City Ring, used to registed its will in the Legislature, and vote for it at general elections. The Governor is its tool, and until within a few weeks has been its candidate for the Presidency. The charter under which it is now robbing the Treasury was given it by the Democracy of the State, and in return it lia3 supplied the party with whatever money and illegal votes were needed to carry the State elections.

Washington "Star" says "the

practical phase of the Woman Question is presented in that city in the existence of a Woman's printing office. A Mrs Holmes has established a printing office in which women are employed solely, and says the experiment so far is a success. The Cleveland "Herald," noticing the establishment of Mrs. Holmes, says it is by no means a new discovery that wo men can become good printers that is a well established fact of years standing. There is hardly a large printing concern in the country that does not employ women type-setters. We do not deem the fact that the Washington office is exclu sively for women anything to its advantage. In truth a large office could not be run solely by women. There is no reason in the world why women and men should not work in conjunction in a printing office and we have yet to hear of any instance in which such conjunction has not worked well.

ONE of the uiost fascinating of the arguments that make the Pacific Railroads popular is that they are destined to become the highways of the trade of the East, the routes of the great commerce of the Orient, showering into our laps the pearls of India, the silks of China, and all the untold wealth that for centuries had flowed in other channels, enriching all who touched it. That- this was not all an idle dream these facts show: The steamer America, of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, left Yokohama, June 22, with 500 bales of silk, under through bill of lading for Liverpool, for which a time contract of fiftythree days was given. The silk arrived in San Francisco on July 12, came across the continently the Pacific Railroad to New York, thence by the Cunard steamer to Liverpool, which place it reached in forty-seven days from Yokohama, or six days inside of contract time. This is at least thirteen days shorter time than the route by the Suez Canal, and demonstrates the superiority of the Americsn route as compared with the Suez route and is very important, as indicating the future course of the China trade with Europe for all valuable article3, when time is of importance.^

FENIANISM in Ireland flourishes despite the many attempts of England to crush it out of existence. To the demonstration under the very windows of the Prince of Wale?, which ended in the late Dublin riot, succeeds the ovation to the French deputation in their departure from Kingston. A procession escorted the delegates from France the bands played American, French and Irish airs the police scowled at the people and the populace looked with no favorable eyes on the civil guardians of the English Power. Fortunately, the ill-feeling vent' ed itself in nothing more serious than these mute exchanges of ill-feeling, and the Fenians honored those when they esteemed their guests in peaceful triumph. To render still more invidious the difference in the receptions accorded by the Irish people to the English royal family and the delegates from France, an attempt was made to destroy, by means of gunpowder, the statue of George IV, at

Kingston. The explosive was so clumsily placed as to merely blacken, and not seriously injure the effigy of royalty but the act is none the less significant in the chain of evidence that Fenianism is more vigorous and bitterly persistent in Ireland than in the United States, though the English journals tried hari to persuade their readers to the contrary a few months ago.

The Executive Ability of Brigttairi Young. The Mormon who is faithful to his obligations delivers, each season, at the tithing-house, one-tenth of all the labor of his hands, the growth of his acres, the result of his ventures, generally small, or the increase of his flocks and herds. No system of taxation ever devised provides for exactions so enormous and perhaps no set of taxpayers on the earth submit so cheerfully and meet their demands with such scrupulous integrity and punctuality. For twenty years, one-tenth of the earnings of a community—now numbering more than one hundred and twenty thousand souls, and averaging from an early date in their organization here more than half that number—has been poured into the treasury of a church, of which Brigham young is the spiritual President and sole temporal Trustee in charge. None save his associates and himself can correctly estimate the amount received, or the amount disbursed. Perhaps both have been over-estimated. It is currently reported, and generally believed, that Brigham Young has eight or ten millions of dollars deposited in the Bank of England. A hundredth part of that sum would probably be a more accurate estimate. The concentrated wealth, however, of this Church of Latter-day Saints will not, in my opinion, be found in unproductive accumulations anywhere but. ultimately, unless thwarted by special interposition, in institutions of industry and skill, in railroads and steam wagons, in woolen factories and cotton mills, grist mills and paper manufactories, newspapers and co-operative stores, cattle and horses and sheep, irrigating ditches, mortgages on farms, and advance funds to emigrants. In these, and a hundred unnamed industries, extending all the way from Bear River to the Colorado, the accumulated capital of the church will he scattered, as it is already to a great extent, in irrigating, fertilizing, and ever-swelling streams. No public or private enterprise, not based upon sound financial principles, can engage the attention or receive the indorsement of the Mahomet of the West. No public or private enterprise of approved merit need go abroad for capital. The managers of the great overland railroad find in the head of the Mormon Church a prompt and responsible contractor for millions of dollars' worth of railroad constructing. The Scandinavion or English emigrant, who desires to purchase a cow, or a plow, or a bushel or two of seed, on credit, can find the necessary accommoda tion at-the same unfailing and ubiqui tous fountain of advice and assistance. So ahsolute is the general confidence in this Mormon prophet, that he is able at any moment, without the investment of a farthing, to wield a labor-force equal to that of ten millions of dollars, tor he can place and keep in the field ten thou sand men, who will toil for years at any avooation whatsoever upon his bare in dorsement of ultimate profit. Unlike prominent leaders of political rings in the East, this man invests in power alone those gains which they never read, and in pictures and jewels, and articles of virtue, of the value and quality of which they are alike ignorant. His daughters' dowries are not displayed in their wed ding-trains. His son3 visit the Atlantic States without a lounge, it Saratoga or Long Branch, and tarry for months in Europe without acquainting themselves with the mysteries of rouge-et-noir, or, trcnte-el-quarante.—From the September Overland Monthly.

An Idol in Iowa.

From the Dubuque Timct.\ The line of the Chicago, Dubuque and Minnesota Railroad appears to be prolific with curiosities. At the base of what is known as Capitola bluff, seven miles this side of Lansing, is an Indian Idol, man ufactured out of the solid rock, which has stood there no one can tell .how many centuries,' but which must soon be re moved to make room for the coming railroad. At a little distance the idol resembles a huge bear, reposing upon its haunches. The strange and uncouth object is still held in the utmost veneration and respect by all Indians, and the various bands as they pass up and down the river invariably stop and endeavor to appropriate the idol with liberal presents of tobacco, strings of gaudy colored beads, pieces of dried buffalo tongue, etc. There it sits at the base of the bluff, mute and solemn, looking out with expressionless eyes over the bosom of the mighty river that murmurs at its feet, never mourning, never speaking, like another sphinx.

The ground whereon the throne of the idol reposes is wanted in the road bed of the "melican man," and the silent, ex pressionless god, whose brow has been bathed in the morning sunlight of so many centuries, must fall. The old stone chap is tough, he stood it well, but he must now vacate. A mightier power than he has arisen a power that sends ships scudding over the waters, and delves down into the bosom of the earth, consumes time and space—the power of steam. But pray let the workmen treat the old idol kindly, for the many interest ing associations connected with it. We suggest that it be placed in the hall of the Iowa Institute of Science and Art, as a touching memento of the dusky nations that once lived and worshipped in vast region.

But a short distance from the above is a smaller idol, which had evidently been placed on the side of the bluff, but by some convulsion of nature was overturned centuries ago, and pitched into the river. During high water it was completely covered, but at the present stage the head and part of the body of the image are distinctly visible. »i

STBOCDSBUKG,

Monroe Go., Penn., August 23, 1871.

About three years ago there came to Jackson township, this county, a couple of tramps—a man and woman. The latter was about nineteen years of age, goodlooking even in her ragsj And. givfaifc «vi-' dence of having been used to good society at some time in her, .life. Jhje man was about tTnrty:five, wit ha "beardless face, long hair, and attired in a dilapidated suit of corduroy. He wag rough aBd uncouth in manner and language, and evidently had always belonged to the lower order of humanity. They plaoed themselves in charge of the Poormaster, and for two years roamed abont the neighborhood, in summer living in the woods, sleeping, in caves, and subsisting on what the town allowed them, and hy begging. The man waa an excellent hunter, and during his stay in the township he killed eight deer and two bears. They gave their names.as Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Israel Lobdell, but never would tell whence they came, or why they lived in that wild manner. Finally, the people grew tired, of their presence, and they were arrested as vagrants and lodged in jail at Stroudaburg.

While in jail the man "Joe," as. he was called, took to preaching, &«}d "deli*f ered some most~fhigularly unintelligible harrangues to fellow-priabners. But he and his wife were released after a few weeks, and they took up theif quarters in Barrett township. Here they lived the same life they had in Jackson, the only variation being the occasional pleaching of Joe abouy the, .neighborhood. They remained in 'BarrStt sbm'e" 'months, when they were again arfeffTSd, and again placed in jail. While in jail this time, the jailer succeeded in obtaing from Joe that he and his wife had come from Long Eddy, Delawaore cotinty,:.N. Y.,: and that he had a mother living there. -To her the woman

whe^=t^led4H»™wMe

Accordingly on Tuesday of last week. Messrs. E..H* Heller and Henry Shaller. Poormasters of Barrett, left Stroudsbufg with the two women in charge. Arri ving at Long Eddy, they- found that

proper names of the pair were Lucy Ann Slater, and Ada Perry, and that they were runaways from the Delaware cduntyPoor House, "at Delhi. The parents of the first named live near Long Eddy,'but, the father is upward of seventy years old, and the mother, who has been insane over thirty years, is also very old, and they both subsist by the charity.: of neighbors. The two runaways were consequently ta ken to Delhi, and again placed in the Poor House.

At Long Eddy the authorities from Monroe county were given the following facts in relation to the women in their charge, the history of the younger being told by herself, as follows:'

Her name is Ada Perry, and. she is twenty-two years of age. She had lived all her life, up to about five years iagb, at South Abington. Plymouth county, Mass., with her parents, who are, or were, highly respectable people of that town. Her father's name was Daniel. In the latter part of 1865 she became acquaint ed with a young man named James Wright, who accomplished her ru in, and 'with whom she ran away from home in 1866, her parents having forbidden her receiving his- attentions They went to Jersey City, Where they lived for some months, when she was de serted by Wright. She obtained infoi1. liiation that led her to believe that he had gone away with another woman on the Erie Railway to Buffalo. She at once determined to follow him, and gath ering together what money she could she started in pursuit. Her money, however, only brought her to Long Eddy. Where the conductor ejected her from the ears. She told her story at this place, and she was cared for some days, and an offer made her that if she would return to her parents her- expenses would be paid home. This offer she declined td accept, declaring that, she coulu never look her mother in the face again. She chose rather to become a charge at the County House,. whither she was sent Here she became acquainted with Lucy Ann Slater, and a singular attachment sprang up between them, and after about eighteen months' life in the Poor House, theyranawaytogether.

Lucy Ann Slater is aboflts38 years old and the wild life she has led, and the hardships she has endured have "driven every feminine feature trom her face The following facts are from one who knew her from a girl, and are! vouched for as correct:

It is not known where Lucy Ann LobdiH was btfrn, but she came to Basket Station (when it was but a primitive, wilderness) with her father and mother, when she was about ten years old. She was as wild as the deer that then roamed over the hills of Delaware county, and early learned the use of the rifle. At nineteen, when a settlement of lumbermen and their families had been formed at Basket, she was acknowledged to be the equal of any man in cutting lumber or rafting, and the best shot in the entire settlement, or in any adjoining. She was very handsome, above the average size of women, and although continually among the men, sharing their labor and their sports, not a word was ev er raised. against her fair fame. She might have become the wife of any re spectable and well-to-do lumberman in the region but she rejected them all, on ly to set her affections on a Wild and worthless hunter, trapper and raftsman of Hancock, named Henry Slater. She married thia man in 1852. After living with her two years he deserted her, leaving her with an infaat two months old Thid child she named Mary, and, placing it in charge 6f her parents, she rejected female attire, and assumed the garb of a hunter an4 trapper. For several years she "lived among the hills of Delaware county, the trackless wilds of Sullivan, and roS&ed as far up the Delaware valley as Susquehanna county, Penn. "Her prowess as a hunter spread far and wide, and she became known as the "Female Nimrod of Long Eddy." In 1855 she wrote, in characteristic style, a history of her Exploits up torthat timeVj According to tins she had killed fifteen aeer, five beai^ and immense numbers of smaller gam%, besides trapping hundreds of mink, otter, muskrats, etc. She narrated in this sketch several adventures she had had while hunting, and on^of which was a hand-to-hand fight with a large shebeacr whose ouba^ahe-had which surprised her while #he was skin ning them. She killed the old bear with her hunting-knife, after having received injuries from which she swooned before the bear waa dead. \m\£

What she ever did with the ffloley she must have accumulated in her trapping and hunting no one ever knew. Her child was placed in the Poor House when it was two years eld, and she hadappirintly forgotten its existence.

One day, in the year I860, she applied to the poor authorities of Dela.ware-CGiui~ ty, and asked to be placed in the Poor House, as she was no longer capable of supporting herself, although she peared well and hearty. She was mitted to the Poor House, where ehe remained always moody and snllen

*i»

Until Ada Perry came, when she be1 came full of life, and was the most cheerful person in the place until she and the girl ran away. There is another chapter in this singular narration of facts. As if Mary Slater, the child, had not suffered enough through the neglect of its mother, the desertion of its father, and the nonpossession of reputable kith and kin, she has recently been made the recipient of more direct misery and wrong. When she was eight years old, or thereabout, a •farmer from Tyler Hill, Wayne county, Pa., named Daniel Fortman took the little waif from the Poor House and adopted her into his family- She grew np into an interesting young woman, and was much loved and respected by her benefactors. Oh the farm of Mr. Fortman there was employed lastJnly a-yonng man named Thompson Keats. Be naturally became acquainted with Mary Slater, and forcertain base proposals made to the girl he was discharged. He then commenced circulating injurious reports against Miss Slater, and M*. Fortman instituted a suit for slander. On the night of the 16th of

July the girl disappeared, and was found next morning teveral miles from Tyler Hill, in the Delaware river, clinging to the shore of an island at Cochecton. She was rescued, but wandered away and was not found for fpur days, when she was discovered in the woods,- and conveyed to Mr, Fot (man's. It Wa several days before she recovered sufficiently to tell her Story, which was to the enept that on the night ot her disappearance she was seized near home by four men, and ..made unconscious by inhaling something from a bottle they held under her nose. She did not remember anything further until she was brought to herself fry being thrown into the water, from which she was rescued as above. Keats waa arrested on suspicion of having caused her abduction, and attempting to have her drowned, He is now in jail at Honesdato, Pa., awaiting trial for the crime.
