cor N’T VON MOL rKE. The German Napoleon, Who Moves Men as He Moves Chess-Pieces. London Times, Oct. 27. Marshal von Moltke won his great renown BO late in life that to many lie is still anew general though lie reached his eiglity-fourth birthday yesterday. His fame remains fresh also because the Franco-German war, now thirteen years distant, still seems so retent. The world has not yet grown accustomed to the immense changes caused by the military events of 1870-71. After Napoleon I’s downfall France’s credit as a soldier nation stood unimpaired. One of her poets could say: “How many were you against the dying earie?” and another wrote no more than truth when he compared his vanquished country to a wounded lion, round which huntsmen gather half afraid and saying, “II But in the last mighty struggle,"which began on the Rhine and ended in Paris, the two giant powers stood alone hand to hand, with apparently equal chances, and the defeat of France, the aggressor,Was swift, overwhelming and discreditable. No such sudden collapse of a great Empire could ever have been predicted; no such wholesale leading into captivity of generals and legions was ever witnessed. Yet it is a curious tiling that Yon Moltke, the chief hero of the surprising war, does not enjoy a reputation like that which Wellington held at Waterloo, and it would be useless to pretend that the German generals who shared his triumphs are as well known as some of the French commanders whom they worsted. Most people would be puzzled to describe the achievements of General von Kameke, now Prussian War Minister, who was chief engineer in t+ie siege operations round Paris; or those of General von Werder, who with 40,000 men routed Bourbaki’s 140,000 after a three-days’ battle, performing what the Emperor William styled "one of the greatest feats of arms in history.” The Frencli make more noise in the world than other people, and they have used their far-reaching voices to diminish the victories of their enemies by making them appear to have been won too easily, and not overFrauce, but over a faction, whose misrule betrayed France. But, for all this, men who have studied the history of the Franco-German war know that the triumphs of Von Moltke and his generals are not to be dimmed by any tales of French weakness. The advance of the German armies over France was like the impetus of a man skating—one false step would have brought a heavy hill—and Von Moltke was not admirable only in havifig drafted and executed point for point the most elaborate plan of campaign ever conceived, but in having accurately foreseen all the demoralizing effects which defeat would produce upon ills foes. Had he made any miscalculation; had the French shown spirit when he expected them to be cowed; had they resisted stubbornly ■when he had reckoned that they would yield —the end of the war might have been very different from the beginning. More than once the silent commander must have been anxious in spirit, but he let nothing of this be seen. A foreigner who called upon him t Versailles in the midst of the siege of Paris, and on a day when a great sortie was expected, found him quietly reading an En- * glish novel. He is an extraordinary man. A diplomatist who met him in the Wiihemstrasae of Berlin the day before he went to the seat of "war would have taken leave of him in a hurry, supposing that he must be busy; but Von Moltke said, “I have nothing to do,” and went on chatting with his usual composure. Tn this incident was revealed the whole strength of the German military system, which allots to each officer just as much work as he can easily and efficiently perform. The formula of the whole system may be defined as the constant search after able men; and, as the princes of the royal house of Prussia have steadily adhered to the principle of letting merit be recompensed and incompetencv shelved without favor or fear, they have been contributors equally with the best of their generals towards the events which have made Germany what it now is. The organization of the German army has in it much that produces awe as well as admiration on foreign minds The staff office in Berlin, over which Marshal von Moltke presides, has departments as mysterious and inquisitorial as those of the Roman Curia; and the place is in fact a military inquisition. Maps of all countries and cities of Europe are there, with plans for invading these localities, and minute details as to the accommodation which the invaders would find in the way of board and lodging When General von Goben, at the head of theEightharmy corps, marched into Rouen, he astounded the inhabitants by sending out. within half an hour of his entry, adjutants who marked on the door of each house the number of billets it was to furnish. Protests were of no use. The General had his instructions concerning what each house could do and must do; and he knew, moreover, that the city was in a position to supply 40.000 pairs of boots, 10,000 flannel -waistcoats, and 10,000 good cigars to bis men at twenty-four hours’ notice. Perhaps the staff office has thoroughly considered the capabilities of London in the same manner. Marshal von Moltke may well take his ease, attend with methodical punctuality all sittings of the Reichstag, play his rubber every evening, and devote so many tranquil weeks yearly to botanizing and agriculture on his estate at Kreisau. The system which has reduced the management of armies to the precision of a mechanical science was not constructed in a day; but now that long experience has shown how well it works its principal engineer can leave it without misgiving to be regulated, during his occasional absence, by the expert pupils whom he has trained. The Marshal himself disclaims the idea that he is a necessary man. It is the very essence of his system, as he maintains, that it shall always bring out men of genius so long as any are to be found in Germany; but on this point foreigners, while recognizing all that is good in Prussian military administration, will not readily concede that men like the Marshal are easy to replace. The JoUnaon-Higlay Suit. Brooklyn Union. A Union reporter asked Gporge F. Elliott, this morning, if the suit of Eli Johnson against Henry Higley for SIOO,OOO damages for alienation of his wife's affections would be discontinued in view of the fact that Johnson’s wife had won her suit against Johnson for absolute divorce on the ground of adultery. In reply Mr. Elliott said: “The suit will not be discontinued. On the contrary it will be called for trial when it is reached oti the calendar. Mr. Johnson is at present away from Brooklyn, and I think be is in Chicago. He left, I presume, principally on account of financial difficulties. But he lias had money offered him sufficient to prosecute his suit against Higley if he sees fit to accept it, and lam now trying to find out where he is in order to com-' municate with him on the subject. In the meantime preparations are being made for the indictment of the witnesses who testified here in the last trial, for perjury.” Poor, Dear, Innocent Moonshiner. Charleston News ami Courier. Yesterday a reporter came into possession of news of a startling character for the illicit distillers. It is announced, on absolutely accurate authority, that while Mr. Speer is in Washington lie will call on the President and ask for a general amnesty for the revenue prisoners. Judge McCay and Mr. Speer have had long and earnest, consultation over the matter lately, and they are confident that it will strengthen the government and bring the better class of people everywhere |to a support of the laws. The jail is now filled with parties convicted of a violation of the internal revenue laws, and many of them lire absent from their homes and have left

their families destitute. No suggestion look- j ing to an amnesty has been made by any j one, but the idea belongs purely to Judge McCay and Mr. Speer. The opinion is expressed that the President will grant the application of these gentlemen for the amnesty, and, if so, at least a hundred poor fellows whose pallid faces are now looking through prison bars will again enjoy liberty in the mellow light, of the lingering Indian summer. COMSTOCK THE CHIFFONIER. In nia Zeal He Get*. Into Trouble ami Overdoes the Matter. New York Special. An outrageous invasion of private rights has just taken place here by Comstock, a man who voluntarily abandoned the pure pursuits of life years ago to make a study of licentious literature. He obtained the cooperation of the society, which has ever since paid him a salary, and 1 have no doubt but ha 9 done some good, and has indeed broken up to a large extent the trade in obscene prints. Since the extinction of that class of stuff the anxiety of the man to keep himself betore the public and still earn his salary has led him to make attempts to suppress any classical literature that did not suit his ignorant mind. Some time ago he seized the Heptameron, a work written by the mother of Henry IV, the Protestant King of Prance, chiefly interesting to us for its archaic character, and as an historical study of morals and manners in an eminent age. The courts made a fool of him. He then meditated seizing the Decameron, of which there are many editions, the little book of Boccaccio’s tales, which gave humor and illumination to Sliakspeare’s mind in the plots of many of his plays. It would seem astounding that, four hundred years after Shakspeare'stime, asnifferof ill smells should undertake to put his tainted hand into the literature of the work. A few days ago this very man went into the store of Monsieur Bonaventure, under the Astor House, and took away about eight hundred photographs of paintings from the present French Exhibition in Paris. He seized them on the ground that nobody has a right to sell them in New York, and jliat they were immoral. These are pictures which are useflr by our decorators for forms and suggestions to paint ceilings, for borders and other decorations. In France, where there are thousands of fine models, the human form in its perfection is obtained, and France radiates these forms tc the colder nations of the world. This same man seized two large copies of Cabarel’s Venus, the painting made for the Empress Eugenie, and exhibited in the Paris Exhibition of 1807. M. Bonaventure is one ot the most refined buyers of books, paintings, missals and rare tilings in this country. He is a Frenchman from Alsace, \y2n> caiqe out here to be an engineer, and not knowing the language, lost a respectable fortuue he brought here, and had to fall back upon his fine library for means. This he disposed of to such collectors as Joseph Drexel, A. Dunrol, Robert Hoe, jr., W. S. Andrews, H. P. Dubois, W. F. Sewell and others. It then occurred to him that he might have a career in facilitating library collectors. He spends about half the year in France. He arrived home the other day and found that in his absence his clerk, a mere boy. had been arrested, his shop depleted. and his name put into the newspapers by the ambition of an ignoramus to keep alive his unsavory trade. Stupidity of this sort is well adapted to again foment the manufacture and trade of really illicit things. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL. A PAPER FOR THR PEOPLE. Liberty Herald. The Indianapolis Daily Journal is one among the best Republican Journals published in the United States. Asa newspaper, its columns reflect the current news of the world; as a State paper it gives more Indiana news than any other paper in the State; as a party paper it is consistently Republican and has the courage of its convictions, and does not hesitate to approve that which is beneficial to the people or condemn that which is detrimental to them, without regard to party. It is a paper for the people and the times. CLEAN, ABLE, TRUE AND MANLY. Muncie Nows. The Journal, under its present management, has attained a high rank as a newspaper. It is clean, able, true, manly in tone; faithful to its convictions, powerful in argument, reliable in politics, generous in expense, and in every way worthy of the best support of all Indianians. We always read its dearly printed columns with pleasure and profit. Its subscription list next year should be quadrupled. THE NEWSPAPER OF INDIANA. Spencer Republican. The Indianapolis Daily Journal is the newspaper of Indiana. It is so com nlete in its make-up and so reliable in every line that there remains blit little room for improvement, and it seems to us that no other paper can possibly be more satisfactory to an Indiana reader. FAIRNESS AND GOOD SENSE. Michigan City Enterprise, The editorials of the Indianapolis Journal on the temperance question are an intelligent combination of fairness and good sense. A Costly Victory for Democrats. Imtianapolis Daily News. That Virginia election is going to be the costliest victory the Democrats have won for years. Like Mahone’s own previous victories, it is not the fact that repels people, but the methods. The Virginia Bourbons have sprung an issue, winch, though it may not be as tough as a tanner, and "last yon nine years,” will last next year, through the presidential election. Indianapolis for the National Convention. Wai-Baw Times.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY", NOVEMBER IG, 1883.

THE TIME OF DAY A Scientific .Man Tells Wliut He Knows About Clocks and Watches. , Professor Alexauder, in Kansas City Journal. Few people cj cept philosophers and astronomers, who hold that time and space are merely categories, are aw are that a knowledge of "the exact time,” for which inquiry is often made, is unattainable. There are no clocks or watches which tell the precise truth. Even the time ball, which is dropped by electricity, is a tew tenths of a second last or slow. One watch or clock may be worse than another, but the time-piece that gives us the exact time has yet to be made. So recourse must be had to the science of astronomy. “Do peopie generally agree to such a statement?” “If this fact were to be generally accepted a vast deal of anxiety and unhappiness would be saved. As it is, every man who has what he calls a good watch puts implicit faith in it, and, as he is constantly betrayed, he suffers great mental agony. There is something very remarkable about the fascination which watches exert over their owners. A man who prides himself on his watch identifies himself with it. If he undertakes to tell a friend the time, instead of saying 'it is 12:30 by my watch,’ he remarks, ‘I am 12:30.’ The watch becomes a part of himself.” "Do you suppose they actually feel so?” “Os course the victim of a ’good watch’ never admits that it can be wrong. It is always the other watches and clocks that are wrong. None of those ever agree precisely with his watch, except by accident. When, after remarking, ‘I don’t vary a quarter of a second in six months,’ he draws out his watch and finds that it differs some five miuutes from the watch with which he compares, he boldly asserts the latter is wrong. No argument can move such men. The infallibility of their watches is the firmest article in their faith; and they would go tn the stake sooner than admit that they could be mistaken. “Meanwhile, every man in bis own breast doubts his watch. He gives an intellectual assent to the doctrine that his watch is infallible, but in the silence of the night he confesses to himself that perhaps it needs regulating. The conduct of all men proves that they are unwilling to risk anything of consequence upon the accuracy of their watches. They profess to believe tiiat‘railroad time’ is much faster than any other time, and hence when they are about to take a train they make it a point to arrive at the station at least five minutes earlier than would be necessary were their watches infallible. This is a practical proof of their secret eonvictiou that watches are not infallible, and though they would die sooner than admit the fact, this conviction renders their lives miserable.” “Is it possible to make clocks agree?” “There have been men who have become so infatuated with the desire to have the exact time that they have placed clocks in every room in the house, and gave their whole energies to securing concord between them. The result has been uniformly failure and misery. No two clocks can be made to perfectly agree; and when the number is increased the confusion and discord increase in geometrical ratio. I once read of a man who provided himself with thirteen distinct clocks, all of which he attempted to keep in perfect agreement with bis watch. He spent his whole time going from onq to another, putting this one I'erward and putting that one backward. Every day at 12 o’clock he found that each clock gave him an independent estimate of the time, and all his exertions only succeeded in making their statements diverge more widely from each other. It is not more than three months since he was removed to the lunatic asylum, where he imagines that he is an English chronometer, and daily tries to wind himself up with the latch key.” “Then, who can be happy in the possession of a time-piece?” “The only men who really enioy life are those who carry cheap silver watches, warranted never to tell the exact time. He who owns a watch of this kind always assumes that it is five minutes out of the way, and takes the pains to compare it with a standard clock when he has the opportunity. He never is betrayed through boasting of the accuracy of his watch, and is not compelled to indulge in wholesale attacks on the yeracity of all other timepieces. He is satisfied to be guided by someone who knows wiiere time is derived from, and obtains it as near as possible.” SHORT-HAND HY MACHINE. A Little Nine-Keyed Instrument That Is Played with Both Hands. New York Sun. * A young man sat in an office up town with a small nine-keyed instrument on the table before him. Eight small round keys wi th a broad key in the middle were arranged in a line. They were attached to small metal shafts which converged beneath a roll of narrow paper at the back of the machine. Tiie instrument is called a stenograph, and is almost noiseless. The nine keys are really only five, for eacli small key on the right is joined to the corresponding key on the left. Thus four of the five characters which the keys print on the roll of paper can be struck with either hand at will, and the middle key with either thumb. The five characters struck are simply five short dashes all running one way—-that is, crosswise of the strip of paper. Their value i depends upon their position, i When all five keys are struck toi A gether the result is a line like i “A” in the margin. As soon as i one or more keys are struck and 1 released the strip of paper jogs 1 on a space, so that if the five 1 B keys are struck in succession the I result will be a line like “B” in 1 the margin. Combinations of these dashes struck with a single movement form the letters of the alphabet. “Gad bless our home” is written in full as follows: __ . p j- j II ! I I I I I I 111 II I II 111 111 I I 111 Words in common use are abbreviated by striking only the principal consonants. “One of our men who writes 200 words a minute,” said the manager, “has reported Dr. Talmage’s sermons for two Sundays. I am not aware that his rapid fingering of this noiseless little instrument attracted any attention from the congregation, and yet he made a full report, which any of ourstudents who has been studying six weeks could readily have transcribed. Tiie system can be learned in one-third of the time required for any other system of short-hand, its work is uniform, exact and legible, is as fast as short-hand, and an operator’s work can he read by any one who understands the alphabet.” A school with two teachers was in progress in an inner room. Nearly all the students were women. One of the teachers, a slim-fingered young man, was called out, and wrote at the reporter’s dictation witli about the speed and exactness of an average stenographer. Hill vs. Sharon. San Francisco Chronicle. Avery brief spell was then allowed for a mental comparison of the position, condition and appearance of the parties in the celebrated divorce case. First- there was the aged Senator. A black dress-coat and black pantaloons, a blanched face and straight white hair completed the summary of his appearance. His position is well known. Miss Hill was almost as faultlessly attired as tiie man whom she calls her husband, though there was no lavish display of the vie- ; ganceof dress or personal adornment which might he expected on the part of a million-

aire’s wife. She wore a neat black silk dress, well fitted to her slight figtire, a long mantle and a rather high-crowned liar, with a rolling rim. No veil obscured the full view of her face. The mental anguish which she must have endured during tiie past three years, if her solemnly-declared statements are true, had lett its blighting marks upon her features. She is neither a decided brunette nor a decided blonde, but her complexion is that happy medium described by poets and idealized by painters. THE MURDERERS’ ASSOCIATION. Report of tiie Committee on Grievances— Harsh Treatment of an Eminent Member. Cincinnati News Journal. Tiie first business transacted by the Murderers’ Association last evening was the consideration of a report from the committee on grievances. The committee reported that Brother Harrison Thomas, of Florida, a member of the association who had taken the thirty-second degree, complained of the treatment he had received at the hands of some of the prejudiced citizens of that State. Brother Thumaa’s record was as brilliant as the most of his confreres, and he was undoubtedly entitled to all of the privileges and honors of a brother in good standing. The gentleman, who is colored, had just been tried for chopping off the head of a fellowworkman named Charles Bel ford, in a lumber camp near Apalachicola, Fla., and hiding the body in a pond. His reason for murdering Bel ford was that he desired to possess himself of Belford’s wife. The two men had married sisters, but Brother Thomas wanted both of the women at once. The unreasonable enemies of the murderer had worked bard to have the jury convict Brother Thomas of murder in the first degree, but the association has succeeded in convincing the jury that Die gentleman should not hang. It was represented to the jury that when Mr. Thomas was twelve years old he killed his little brother and burned his body because the child had bothered him, during their mother’s absence; also that in 1871 be had cut the throat of a fourteen-year-oid mulatto girl and buried her body in a woods, and also that in 1873 he had killed a colored man named Dawson with a knife. These facts prompted the jury to refrain from returning a verdict in tiie first degree, and Brother Thomas was let off with a life sentence, with the understanding ttiat he should be pardoned in a short time. But Brother Thomas comp.Viiined" that in the first place he did 11157 receive proper treatment at tiie hands <s* the court, and, in the next place, that he was annoved by threats of lynching. After thfe secretary had finished reading the report, a member arose and stated that it was time something was being done to obviate the trouble arising from lynchers. The speaker himself had been annoyed by the intolerable pests in question, and he fully sympathized with Brother Thomas. Others spoke in favor of giving the gentleman in Florida whatever aid he might stand in need of. It was finally decided to have him pardoned and retired on a pension of SIO,OOO a year. The following anonymous communication was received: To tiie Honorable the Association of Murderers—l have read closely the proceedings of your meetings, and I cannot longer abstain from expressing my opinion of such a gang of cutthroats and murderers asT recognize you to be. I am Dee to say that It ts a great pity that the entire mob of you are not strung up by the heels and allowed to hang until the stench from your worthless carcasses demands that you be cut down and buried in a dishonored grave. Wo have come to a pretty pass indeed, when a lot of blood-stained villains can rule the courts of law, amt influence officials to do their bidding. You may be actuated by some other feeling than that of arrogant egotism in overriding the respectable members of society, but if yon are, it is not apparent to tbe writer of this communication. It, occurs to me that just such hellbounds as you get too much of a show for your lives, and, if I had the say so, you would not succeed in having juries made up to suit your vile purposes so often as you do. One of you would get his deserts onco in a wnile, at least. The president ordered the communication to be laid on the table, with the remark that the writer was prejudiced. The applications of twenty-seven physicians for membership were posted. It was claimed that they were illegible, by reason of their having been guilty of numerous murders by tiie suppression method. The weekly bills for cigars, wine and fruits furnished members of the order who were the guests of the county, were ordered paid. Tiie subject of unsuccessful attempts at murder was brought up, and it was a theme for a lengthy discussion. It was agreed, however, that the fact that so many attempts have resulted in merely the maiming of the subjects, who recover from their wounds, reflected der6gatorily upon the honorable Order of Murderers, and it was to be deplored. The case of young Survey, who killed his father and only half killed the old gentleman’s housekeeper, wa3 cited, and Survey was severely censured.
