It was through hearing him some time ago that my attention was drawn la the association of saints in this city from ■fetch ha received his religious light. It was just tfty year* ago that Mrs. Sarah Lankford Palm ir fonaded the p*vfect-bottne*s sect, and she is m-day it* recwgißiaed head and still its active •eider. Tta* meetings, first held in an office, and ipen only to women, w#re later transferred to Dr. Palmer’.Oiouse, and after several years men rere admitted, at their own earnest request, rtse tins* of too meatmes. Tuesday afternoons, ms never bn changed; the place is still Dr. Palmer's boose, on Fifteenth street The Tuesday meeting differs in many respects brum ae onlinary church service. There ia*oar*gatfo*! singing, many of the hymns psed being toe product of Mrs. Phoebe Palmer’s genius, sad regular Scripture-reading, with running exposition amt comment There is no set ermn. Mrs. Palmer explains over and over again the principles upon which she bases her bett*f in her own and others’ sanctification, and perhaps the leading text from the Bible which is ased as a proof is this: “Tne end of the commandment la leva out of a pure heart,” etc. **Wbe dares say,” exclaims Mrs. Palmer, "that i pur* heart is impossible, when God commands that w* shall l*ve Him with a pore heard Would He command man to do that which is impossible?” Then she*shuts her lips together Irmly and smile* that convinced and convincing lifctie as she glances abut the room. The people who attend upon her discourses are plainly these wh*e emotional natures are strongly pronounced. Tkev weep, and sob, and groan, and shout at the slightest provocation, and when they are bet engaged to these religions diversions they sit with a rapt, supremely contented expression that the meat bittor scoffer cannot hot envy. They are not all Methodists. Tbs aim of Mrs. Palmer's tsachings is to keen the brethren and sisters loyal to their cbwedtos; she main tains that her theories need give vis* to no controversies: that it is only necessary t* read the Bible and accept what it clearly expounds to become wholly sanctified. The s**i is, howover, recognized by the Methodist ebomb, and the majority of the members are undoabiodiy of that denomination. A feature of every meeting is tbs reading of requests for pxayar, and the letters are sent from points in the far West, sc well as from places near at hand. y*r*s in th* audience who desire a pure heart ■re-atso requested to signify it by rising. It is said tiver*ever was a meeting when at least one, and' generally three or four, did not rise. ▲Xooaof the meetings I attended, Mrs. Palmer rose art his stage of the proceedings and said: "Ttmoe of us who have obtained pure hearts knew thatit comes only as the answer to a true depir* for it Conversion is only half a step. Tea ibmK hunger and thirst for purity of heart, aad Cad tetMjprant your prayer. Then you shall be witfceux sin.'"

MUR&ERED IN BED. An Internal Revenne Officer Snrprised and Slain by an Illicit Distiller. Harrison, Ark., Oet. 30. Details have just reached this pfcace-of the cold-blooded murder, at fate Home, in Marion conmtf, on the 23d inst., of Js—>N. Hamilton, late deputy collector of internal ctvecms in tbe ofifiee of Henry M. Cooper at Little Rock. About two years ago Hamilton, wkile actmjras deputy eoileetor of internal revenue. made a raid in Johnson county on a number of illicit distillers, among whoa was a man hr the name of Malayan, capturing one of the distillers and their crooked property. Mulligan was one oft Lose wko escaped, and nothing more was heard of him until a short time ago, when he earns to the home of Hamilton, who was residing on a farm ia Marion county* and applied for work on tho farm, giving his name as Page. Hamilton employed him, and be worked until la-f ?Vday night without attrsering any particular attention. Oa that night ne J>.k a.,iltec's and went to the house of a peisripjer, about a half mile distant, to spetei the night After tha family had retired for the aiytit. Pay*, or Mulligan, left the house, and, corns back, to Hamilton's crept into the factors bed-room, and as he lay asleep, placed a pistol to bU head, blew his brains out and fl*d.

AVARICIOUS HETTY GREEN. A Fifty-Year-Old Widow Who Is Worth at Least Thirty .Millions of Dollars. Her Railway Investments and Her Parsimony —A Financial Amazon Who Has No Fear of tVall-Street Sharks and Schemes. A FINANCIAL QUEEN. A Woman Worth Thirty Million*, and Is Not Afraid of Wall-Street Sharpers. special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. New York, Oct. 30.—1 see that Mrs. Hetty Green has secured the control of the Georgia Central railroad. She is also closely identified with the Louisville & Nashville railroad, owning a large amount of its stock. She is a remarkable woman. She is the wealthiest in the United States. She has reduced parsimony to a fine art and let avarice curdle the milk of a woman's highest attributes. She has unsexed herself for gold, and stands a Shylock in crinoline, the object of smiles and sneers among those who see only the moral hideouscess of such a Walpurgis trick of witch-like transformation, Xnd do not pity the victim of this moral cancer, an eating avaric* that no wealth can satisfy. This seems severe language in speaking of a woman, but there is too much bowine and cringing before wealth in this country; too much crooking of the knee that thrift may follow fawning. There are several classes of women whom society condemns with looks of stone, but the female miser is received in polished circles, though morally meaner than some of her sisters who cauuot here b* named. Mrs. Hetty Green is worth $30,000,000. She is rather handsome, of robust build, about fifty years of age, with iron gray hair, strong features, and keen, penetrating eyes. She is the daugher of a New Bedford whaler who left her $9,000,000; not long after an aunt died and bequeathed her $4,000,000 more. With the $13,000,000 she is credited with making $20,000,000 more. Yet she feels poor. On one occasion, several years ago, she came down to her banker’s in Wall street, in a stage, with a valise containing several hundred thousand dollars’ worth of securities. “Why did you not come down in a carriage?” expostulated her banker. •T can't afford it,” was her remarkable answer. Once one of her children was taken with convulsions during a stay at Babylon, Long Island, and she sent for a physician. The child recovered before be arrived, and as his carriaee dre w up to the gate it is said she called out from a window with an economical view: “The child is all right, doctor. Don’t come in!” Wall street has many stories to tell of this woman’s eccentricities. A leading banker said the other day: “Years ago, when I was living up town in a boarding house, I had a hall room with board for $6 a week. Harriet H. Robinson—for that was her maiden name —was stopping at the same house at the same price in spite of all her wealth.” Her father, K. M. Robinson, from whom she seems to have inherited her business genius, was as close as a vise was one of the shrewd, ignorant fools who devote an entire life to the piling up of useless millions and who know nothing, through their boorish illiteracy, as to how wealth may be made to minister to the higher enjoyments of life—men who never look into a hook, who read little but stock reports even in newspapers, to whom science i#|a sealed bosk and to whom in art a chrotno Is quite as acceptable as a Cor*t, even if they know the difference between the two. It is significant, doubtless by a pure accident, that the name of the fabled roid-prodneing King Midas has been applied in science to a certain inferior species of ape. Mrs. Green, the financial Amazon, who has proved herself a match for the lohetners and sharks of Wall street, who occasionally engineers'mysterious movements there, wao has several times put the bears to rout in corners on Reading, in which her clutch on the throats of h*r unfortunate shorts was none the le?s stron.; because it was that of a woman’s jeweled hand, was really the cause, it has always been held, of the failure of John J. Cisco’s Sons, the bankers, last year. A Wail street shoet circulated a rumor against the firm's financial standing. Mrs. Green heard of it. She had a denosit there of $473,000, besides millions iu securities in the firm’s vaults. She came down town at orico in a cheap cab and demanded her money in full. It was useless to tell her that, the firm was solvent, but that the withdrawal of so large a sum at all would cause embarrassment, and that with a little forbearance towards a house that had serrod her interests faithfully for twenty years with very inadequate compensation all could he satisfactorily adjusted. They might as well have talked to an iron statue of Minerva. She demanded the pound of flash, although her own husband, it was claimed, was a debtor of the firm to the amount of SBOO.ODO. The bunkers went to th* wall, and have ivaver regained thoir place m the financial world. If they ever do they will Drobably be wise enough to adopt the rule of many sagacious men—“ Never have any business transactions with a woman.’’ When she married E. H, Green he was worth three-quarters of a million, and it was a sort of matrimonial partnership on strictly business principles, thougn it is understood that the fortunes of tbe two wore to be .kept entirely distinct. He came from Bellows Falla, Vt., where as a boy he was esteemed chiefly for his goodnature. He is a changed man. He scans a dollar nearly as closely as his wife. They have had two children. One, a boy, is a cripple; the other, a girl, is in delicate health. The boy seems to have inherited his father’s more open girl, if she lives, will make a financier after her mother’s remarkable pattern. Mr. E. H. Green is tall and sparely built and is occasionally seen about town. He is a memher of the Union Club and one or two ether similar organizations. Mrs. Green’s aim is said to be to make her son, the unfortunate cripple, the richest man in the United States. To this end she practices Lhe most rigid economy. She owns as little real estate as possible in order to avoid taxation; she lives in hotels, whether she is in Bellows Falls, Vt., or in New York, or London, and she takes the cheapest apartments. She dresses very plainly; she is more than masculine in the simplicity of her tastes. “I have seen her,” said a banker, “going through the snow to attend a reception on foot rather than hire a carnage.” And tbe gossips add that on such oocasins it is the practice of this frugal lady to draw a pair of old-fashioned woolen hose over her shoes as a protection against the elements. One redeeming fact remains, namely, the lady is strictly honest. She is the financial queen of this country. Oscar Willoughby Riggs.
PERSONAL GOSSIP. A Story About Lonsdale—Mr*. Potter’s Beauty—slo,ooo for a Son-i'i-Law with a Title. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. New York, Oct. 30.—They tell a good story of Lord Loosdale, in his capacity of manager of the Violet Cameron company, attempting to pay the salaries, the other day, and, not understanding our currency, cheating himself of oyer $ 100 in assorting the sums in the envelopes. His Lordship will not use Bensaude any more for advertising purposes, and may, it is whispered, take himself back to his ancestral estates after the engagement in this city. The English papers amusingly confound him with the business manager of the company, Mr. H. B. Lonsdale, well known here as an entenpreneur. I cannot understand how it is that Mrs. Brown Potter is so vigorously and persistently puffed as a “beauty" unless it is that she has a literary bureau for the purpose. It is true that her wellmolded features are comely, but there are many handsomer women, with more character in their faces and mointien in every eesembly in which she miitfta*. and notably in theater audiences, when she poses in a conspicuous box, as much as to say, “Here 1 am; take a good look at me.” Her face lights up pleasantly in conversation, but it is all the while pervaded by a p.erhaps pardonable consciousness that leaves an unpleasant impression. Asa rule, however, the professional beauty ia disappointing, probably because expectation is too much excited by the preliminary fulsome adoration of the Jenkinses of the press. As many roses bloom and blush unseen for the surrounding foliage, so there are many real beautiedv^'’oeiet.y who have not been written into note' who pass m*o domestic life, as Into ai, far at the gay world unearned. \ Lieuten '* been disappointed in dispel *<* &T>.o‘ SSS * 'rota o)

checks, the big-headed cane, the abbreviated to coat, is a close figurer. and he calculates that the boat can be built for $15,000, and he hesitates to pay SIO,OOO of his inherited money for tbe glory of the ownership of the model but persistentlydefeated cutter. If the Lieutenant could dispose of the Galatea he would purchase a steam yacht—there are many of them in the market this season, cheap—and for what he asks for the cutter he could purchase a good one. It is likely that he and the “missus” will pass the winter here. Mrs. Henn’s curious costumes on gala occasions are something fearful and wonderful to behold; if she were a princess from one of the sea islands, with loads of money, perhaps they would not be considered outr* as they are. Her costume —a dazzling assortment of color, with a wondrous display of jewels whenever possible—on the occasion of the reception at Newport on board of the Electra, will never be forgotten by those present as long as memory holds its own in their brains. Mrs. John Bigelow is again übiquitous in social circles. She is an odd, unique little lady, who wears her clothes as if she didn't take any interest in them, and is satisfied so long as they stay on or are comfortable for the weather, and doing everywhere just as she pleases, she often excites comment; but she has a heart bigger than herself. and never misses the opportunity to say a kind word or to help those whom she can aid. Through all her varied life abroad she retains her marked individuality, and consequently is perennial in her social position. On dit that Lawrence Barrett had to settle a dot of SIO,OOO per annum on his daughter before she married the German baron, whom the father-in-law proudly, not without affection, alludes to as “the baron, my son-in-law.” Those noble sonsin law are very particular about the paternal dot to their brides, and are very exacting in tbe payments. It is whispered that when Jerome was lax in sending over his $25,000 to Lady Churchill Lord Churchill promptly cabled for it; but sinco the peer is again on the high road to prosperity, with an insured rent roll, there has been no occasion for this strictly business proceeding, as there was when the mansion was unoccupied as a club-house. Ido not know whether the baron ever annoys Mr. Barrett this way. John D’Arme. INTOLERANT WHISKY PEOPLE. The War Grows Warm, and the Wife of a Liquor Man Attempts a Murder. Shellbyville, 111., Oct. 30.— Rev. Joseph L. Doattrit, the pastor of the Unitarian Church at this place, is also the proprietor of a prohibition paper called Our Best Word,_ which lately has taken a strong stand against the whisky element, and has been more bitter than usual in its editorials. Mr. Douttrit has been told several times that the paper had better change its policy, or something unpleasant would occur. Last night Mrs. George Grey went to the pastor’s bouse, and attempted to assassinate Mrs. Douttrit. The would-be murderess was overpowered and banded over to the officers of law, and is how io jail. It is supposed that the whisky men employed her to kill Mrs. Douttrit in revenge for the minister’s work in favor of prohibition.

ULTIMATUM FROM THE CZAR. Gen. Kanlbars Says Russians in Bulgaria Are Maltreated and Terrorized, And Remands a Full and Satisfactory Explanation Within Three Days—The Prince of Wales and the Campbell Divorce Suit. RUSSIA SHOWING HER HAND. Indication* that the C!zar Is Seeking a Pretext for Interfering In Bnlgaria. LONDON, Oct. 30. —Ger.eral Kaulbars has issued an ultimatum to the Bulgarian government. He complains that Russians in Bulgaria are maltreated and terrorized, and sayß that if in three days he does not receive a satisfactory uiwlt to this ultimatum, he will rupture hi 9 relations with the regency and leave Sofia, taking with him the whole personnel of the Russian consulate. The government has sent a circular to the various prefects, commanding them to adopt stringent measures for the protection of Russians. A copy of the circular was sent to General Kaulbars, with a request that ho furnish the names of the Russians who, he alleged, had been molested. The Bulgarian government has ordered that the Russian language shall no longer be taught in the public schools of Bulgaria, but that the German language shall be taught instead. ant-colon el Filoff, the commander at Rustheuk, who, at the instance of General Kaulbars. telegraphed to the government demanding the release of those persons concerned i:i the deposition of Prince Alexander, Las been senl*need to one month’s imprisonment, and has been deprived of his command. Increased fear is manifested in political circles at Pesth that Austria will not acquiesce in action on the part of Russia. In the event of the occupation of Bulgaria by Russia, the Bulgarian government will make the maintenance cf Prime Minister Tisza’s policy, as announced in the Diet, a Cabinet question. All the Bulgarian Ministers, except M. Nicolaieff, Minister of War, have arrived at Tirnova to attend the meeting of the Sobrar je, to elect a successor to Prince Alexander. M. Karaveloff has stated that he will not attend the meeting. The Sobranje will open to-morrow. It is believed that ten days will be occupied in verifying the election of Deputies. The Ministry will abandon the idea of sending a deputation to the powers to explain the Bulgarian situation.
THE CAMPBELL SCANDAL. Allegation that the Lady and the Prince of Wales Were Very Intimate. gpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. London, Oct. 30. —Your correspondent is enabled to confirm what has hitherto been covertly whispered in select circles concerning the connection of the Prince of Wales with the scandal attached to the marital relations of Lord and Lady Colin Campbell. Lord Campbell had long suspected the Prince of carrying on the intrigue with his wife, and finally becoming convinced of the correctness of his suspicions, threatened to include the heir to the British throne among the numerous co-respondenis who share with Lady Campbell the accusation of surmounting the brow of a scion of the House of Argyll with a magnificent pair of antlers. Last year, while in search of evidence agair. at Lady Campbell and her alleged paramours, Lord Colin found in her ladyship s desk a package of letters which had from time to time been addressed to her by the Prince of \\ ales. These letters were not couched in the orthodox language of a lover, but were sufficiently cordial in tone, and betrayed ample solicitude fer the Jady's happiness to justify the suspicion of her husband that the discreetly phrased notes really meant more than they expressed. Lord Campbell immediately divulged the fact of the nature of his discovery to his father, the Duke of Argyll, and the latter made haste to lav the matter before the Queen, between whom and the Duke there was held a long consultation, resulting in the summoning of the Prince into the royal presence. His .ioyal Highness admitted, without hesitation, that he had written the letters in question, but protested his innocence of any motive in writing them other than a feeling of friendly interest In a brilliant young American lady whom everybody pitied because of her husband’s notorious neglect, and, rumor said, worse. Finally, Lord Campbell placed himself and his case in his father’s hands, and the Duke, presumably in obedience to the royal command, obtained the letters and forwarded them to the Queen. It is understood that the letters Lave sinco been destroyed, and the only tangible evidence of the Prince's interest in the beautiful respondent thus passed forever out of sight. FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

Phelps and Hi* Mistake* London Special. Labouchere’s verdict upon the singular correspondence between Mr. Phelps a.nd Mr. Allen Thorndiek Rice that Phelps has made a mistake, expresses the general opinion in London. The leading English journals abstain from comment as a matter of international courtesy to the diplomatic agent, but in private much surprise is expressed that the American minister should have so far disregarded official propriety as to attempt to make the Prince of Wales aparty to his own opinions, on matters affecting American* alone. The attempted defense of Mr. Phelps, in the Pall Mall Gazette, was inspired by the American legation, and is the work of a writer on the staff of that Saper who acts as the London correspondent of the ew York Evening Post.

ALL OF ONE FAMILY. Three Prominent Men Descended from Roger Sherman. Philadelphia Times. The Ohio Shermans are collaterally connected with the Roger Sherman family, as they claim, thoueh not of his direct blood. They are of the Connecticut Shermans. One of the two brothers, Tecumseh, who is the only one of the family who has won renown as a soldier, is the most like Roger Sherman, in respect of bluntness, directness and a sort of roueb aggressiveness. The subtle, secretive and cautious habit of John came to him by some other than the Sherman inheritance, and his talent as a private and public financier, as well. Ihe ShM-mans, as a rule, were Dot money-keepers. William 1. Sherman hasn’t the most remote notion of the art of accumulating. He knows what his sa.ary is and what his expenses are, and is content to have them balance. George h nsbie Hoar is poor, always has been, probably always will be, and, his friends say, has not escaped embarrassment on that account. He might earn large lees as a lawyer, sometimes does, but is quite likely to put the fee in his trousers pocket, and spend lavishly as long as it lasts. Mr. Evarts earns vasC sums but he is not regarded as a very wealthy man—not near so wealthy as he wouid have been had he had the money-maker’s gift of knowing what to do with his money. But John Sherman, unlike his relatives, is a cunning business man. On the other hand, they all outrank him in legal ability. Honest John is a consummate politician, a shrew financier, but no great account as a lawyer. Mr. Evarts, on the other hand, inherits the legal ability, and lawyers say has improved his inheritance. But where does he get that interminable, obsenre, involved and highly Latinized diction* That doesn’t come from Roger Sherman, who was clear, blunt, straightforward. Old classmates of Evarts at Yale a half a century ago say that he developed that habit in college, and it is a tradition that be was known among the students as “wordy Evarts.” That nickname could not have been given him in a mocking spirit exactly, for he seems to have attained that prominence in college among his fellows which he very speedily established in the world. He was a great debater, a great essayj ist, and gathered th* prizes for those attainments in a way that brought him the gushing admiration of the students. “He will be President some day,” was the prophecy. There was a quiet, retiring, inconspicuous student at Yale at the same time who was presidential candidate forty years later. His name was Tilden. But it was to young Evarts then that the eyes of his mates were turned in expectation of this honor. Perhaps the pleasant predictions of hie classmates have been echoing in his memory ever since. Perhaps if he had a little more political ability even at the expense of bis legal gifts, he might have been President ore this." He was prominent before he wag forty: was figuring at Chicago in iB6O for William H. Seward's nomination, and made the motion to make the nomination of Abraham Lincoln unanimous. Twenty years later, his cousin, George Frisbie Hoar, presided over the convention at which another cousin, John Sherman was a prominent candidate for the Presidency. The coincidence would be more strikingly carried out if at the next convention one cousin, Mr. Evarts, should be chairman, and two other cousins—Sherman and Hoar—should be nominated for President and Vice-president, or vie* versa.
In some respects the Hoar brothers are the most interesting members of this generation of the Sherman family. Some years ago the older brother, Rockwood, seemed to give the greatest promise of a future. When the two Drothers were in the House together, Rockwood seemed to shadow George. The younger brother—though his hair was whiter than Rockwood’s — seemed to be a little awed by the older. Rockwood sustained the family reputation as a lawyer, and Grant made him his Attorney-general, and tried to put him upen the Supreme Bench. But there cropped out in Rockwood, while he was Attorney-general, a httie of tbe old Roger Sherman brusqueness, now and then, and several Republican Senators were offended so deeply tbac they wouldn’t let him go upon the Supreme Bench. Then Ben Butler beat him for Congress, and this was adding insult to injury. So Rockwood went back to his law office in Boston, and it is suspected that he was a mugwump a year ago. George Frisbie Hoar developed rapidly after he got from under tbe shadow of Rockwood’s wing, and the Massachusetts people discovered that his face and manner were misleading, for ha was no innocent in politics, like Rockwood Hoar or Evarts, but decidedly adept. As he aimed, however, to cover up this adeptness, some people accused him of a quality which was possessed in an eminent degree by a celebrated creation o! Charles Dickens’s brain. Mr. Hoar, unlike all the other Sherman relatives, possesses a curious streak of almost feminine vanity. It is a known fact that he practices his formal speeches before a looking-glass. John Sherman was never accused of that, nor Evartß, nor Rockwood Hoar, and the chances are that old Roger Sherman scarce ever looked at his own reflection. Then, too, while George Hoar was hurt at the fancied resemblance between himself and Mr. Cruikshank's conception of Dickens’s Pickwick, he was, on the other hand, really pleased when told that he resembled very greatly Horace Greeley. So many people see a resemblance that there must be one. But George Hoar’s face is not a Sherman face, nor is his shrill, piping voice a Sherman voice. John Sherman is said more closely to resemble Roger. In these three men we unquestionably see tbe influence of location acting upon inherited qualities. Evarts, the polished* urbane, witty New Yorker; George Hoar, the sharp, petulant, bright, nagging New Englander; John Sherman, the unostentatious but persistent Westerner. But behind all these mannerisms we see tbe Sherman imprint upon the mind of each. If one of them becomes President it will be all in the family.
THE DERBY DARLINGS: Girls Who Wear Hots Just Like Their Brothers. Philadelphia Times. The late decidedly masculine tendency in fashionablo female headgear has brought out anew type of girl of the period and coined anew phrase to describe her. The girls who promenade up and down Chestnut street these fair autumn days, arrayed in men’s stiff hats, are now called “Derby girls” or “Derby Darlings." This is occasionally abbreviated into and. d.in such forms as “there goes ad. d.” or “she is a regular and. d." A few years ago, at the outbreak of the anglomaniac fever in dress, a slight modification of the Derby hat was adopted along with the masculine ulster, but they were not generally worn, and were so ridiculed that they soon disappeared from the fashionable thoroughfares. The present Derby fever among the girls is the most pronounced and general ever known. The first girls to adopt the hat this season were tbe girls employed in stores and factories, but the fashion has been extending rapidly until it has reacbed the girls with nothing to do, whose principal occupation in life ia to walk up aod down Chestnut street on fair afternoons aud go to Saturday matinees. In some of the large establishments where many girls are employed the hat-racks where they leave their outer clothing look like the ante-room at a masculine reception, and a rapid glance over the parquette of any of the theaters on a Saturday afternoon gives the impression that a poiiticaljconvention is in progress. Many of the Derby bats, as worn by the Derby girls, have an occasional feather in front, but, as a rule, they are perfectly plain, with simply a band around them, and there is absolutely no difference between them and the Derby hats worn by men. They are most becoming to large heads or a broad face, and they accord very well with the prevailing style of wearing the hair well up on tbe head. They are cheaper and more durable than bats involving more of the milliner's art, and are easier to put on, being held simply by an elastic band, fitting under the hair back of the bead.
They Brought the Rain. Harper's Bazar. The story is told of a good Methodist brother, an itinerant, who sought shelter for the night at a certain farmhouse.
