It is said.oa apparent good authority that Benry Ward Bee eher was offered f 2,000 for three lectures in New Orleans this teason. Oxx of the greatest thinkers and moat careful obsenrera of the day is moved to express the opinion that women distrcV. men too much in general, aad not enough in parti cnltr. I. Hossigxor Cam think the Epucopal monks indicate that the Protestants are alowly drifting back to the mother church. Vows of celibacy hare no pLa.ee in Protestantism, he declares, and there is no Buhop in England who would dare to administer such tows as Bishop Potter did to yoong Huntington. Sil-bi ska farmers are burning com becanse it is more abundant and cheaper than ccaL Pennsylvania and HocKing Valley miners are almost starring betdde the idle coal mines because the monopolists have com pi red to maintain the price of coal above ita zeal value by reducing the production. There is prebably a moral concealed somerwhere beneath these two statements. "Kow rr is claimed that JefTersoniau simplicity wonld mean extravagance in these days, as Jetferson s diary shows that daring his first four years as President he bought $3,C00 worth cf wines and liquors, and entertained in the style of the day on a lavish tcole. That is a misleading evidence. When Jefferson was President it took at least a barrel of wine to make even a New England church festival a success. Timothy II. Healy, M. PM is authority for ine statement that both English parties are dally becoming more convinced that the eelf-governmtnt of Ireland wonld in no sense be a danger to England. If the Irhh parliament was opened to-morrow, as in the days of G rattan, England would etill have her forts and armies in the country. We haya no wish to go beyond that. We want nothing but the management of our own affairs, leaving the wider Imperial question to the imperial parliament. Toe balance of trade fellows find a hard nut to crack in the reports of the commerce of the different countries. The only ones whecs exports exceeded their imports last year were Kuasia, Spain, Roumania and Denmark, Great Britain taking the lead on the other side as the country whose imports most largely exceeded her oxpoits, and was therefore the country in the worst plight ccccrding to the balance of trade theory. Her accumulations ef wealth, however, in act, exceeded those of any other country, the United States, with some thirty-six millions of imports in excess of exports, rank irg next . av Orange Countj, New York, Jury recently awarded PX3 damages for a broken Leer wagon and 1123 lor the negro's life who was driving it. And yet law and order leagues continue to ba established in the rural parts of New York 8tate. It is to be hoped that for the credit of our -civilization that verdict may be set aside and - the record of it expunged from the books ef nng3 County. Nothing less than, race prejudloe couli have actuated such a jury Ending. The shame is all the more glaring from occurring in a rural New York district nd in a town so reputed lor wealth and inialligence as Newburgh. No section can prate of friendship for the colored race which ttDI permit auch a verdict to stand. There Is no such record reported from a 0Uth3RX COUrt. The wheat crop of 18S3 was 420,000,000 busheb, which at $1 12, the pri:e January 2, IbM, made the market value of the crop 4470,000,000.

Ot all the transformations wrought by the revolving cycles of time, none can be contemplated with more admiration than the pervading cheerfulnees which has succeeded to the aombrenets of earlier generations. Indeed, we need not ro hack to the Saxon churl, the reign of "Bloody Mary," nor even the rigid Puritans of New England to recall the type who would "Say three-mile prayer? and half-mile graces. With wcll-epread looks and Iocs, wry faces, Grunt up a solemn, lengthened groan, And damn all parties but their own." Within the memory of those not yet in their forties live some of that grave-faced, lugubr'out, atrabilious class. There have ; been pre ach era whose most exalted concep tion of heaven was the view to be had from its battlements of the writhing through eternity of their nndevout brothers and sisters in a lake of lire and brimstone. Christians there have been whose most admired stories of Holy Writ were the accounts of the destruction of Senachareb and the rushing ot the waters of the Red Sea np3n Pharaoh's hosts. There was a time when parents construed literally and applied forcibly the passage "Sparc the rod and spoil the child.' It has not been many decades since from childhood voices went up screeches because of tea der flesh being etriped and flayed. Oar pro gecitors were austeie and tj nnnical. Their senee of dignity wore a hypped frown; their into'crait will brooked no questioning. Their religion was devoid of mercy; cheerfulness was akin to profanity in their sight. Gradually we have fallen Into better days. It is not sinful now for the snn to shine, brooks to babble, birds to sing or children to laugh. The little ones petted and encouraged by father and mother in their infantine plays may be as gay as skipping lambs. Parents do net look upon the dear ones as haying been sent t hem-as objects for frightening, imprisoning, threatening and chastising, ! New "Ihcy are Idols of Leartl and ol households, They are anprels of God in disguise: Ills sunlight sleeps In their fair tresses, His glory beams from their bricht eyes. Oh ! the truants from home and from Heaven, They make us more manly and mild: And wc know now how Jesus could Uxeu The Kingdom of Oed to a child." The brow of mankind has had its frown smoothed out by the softer hand of refining civilization. We grow more cheerful. And why should not we? Is there any injunction upon professing Christians that their "viseges do cream and mantle like a standing pond'."' Is it requisite to manly bearing that men shall wear euch vinegar aspect That Ihej'll not thow their teeth in way ol olle, Though h'estor swear the jest be laughable?" There is wholesome gospel in the cheerful face, the cheerful voice, the cheerful word. There is enough of the sin of sorrow in our world, and tbere Is need of the cos pel of cheerfulnesj to foil it, lessen it and drive it out. OOOD LUCK FOR FRED. Fred Douglass seems to be "lucky.' No sooner does the time draw near when he will probably be succeeded officially by some other capable person of hi own race and color than a lady dies and leaves him quite a snug fortune. We wrote "dies." Bhe committed suicide in the famous Bois de Boulogne of Paris. As the details of the bequest and the reasons that led to it are interesting, we give them to our readers as we get them from the New York Sun. It seems that llenry Bsrgh, of New York, the distinguished member of the ''Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals," was named by the lady sole executor of the will, ller name is Miss Attilia Assiag. For many years Miss Aising and her sister, Miss Lindmuller Assing, lived in Hoboken. They spent their lives in literary work, from which they earned enough money to considerably increase a small fortune their father had left them. Many translations of popular German works were made by them. Ten years ago they went to Europe and never returned. They spent the greater j part of their time in Paris. In AugU3t Miss Attilia Assing committed suicide in the Bois de Boulogne in that city. She had been suffering from cancer of the breast, and, in ! despair, she took a fatal dose of laudanum. A paper was found sewed In the bosom of her dress. It proved to be her will. In It, after some minor bequests to Iriend3, she leaves her fortune cf $20,000 to Frederick Douglass, ex-Marshal of the District of Columbia, for life. At his death It is to revert toMr.BergVs society. Mr. Bsrgh has declined to qualify as executor, who will be named by the proper Court. It is understood that the bequest is in recognition of the services of Douglass in the anti-slavery canse. The lady bequeathed to him also her pens and other souvenirs. A QUIET GROWTH. In an editorial in last Sunday's Sentinel, entitled "A Wonderful Agitation," we presented one mode .of religoue worship. Under the above caption we present a companion picture Illustrating an entirely different method. During the last seven weeks the Christian Church of Columbus, Ind., has been conducting special services eyery night. The pastor, Elder '.. T. Bweeney, who has been ia charge of the church for fourteen years, haying held eleven protracted meetings before this one, has done all the preaching. There has been nothing of a sensational character to mark the services, all of them consisting simply of the regular programme for Sunday service. A great part of the time the pastor, owing to the condition of his health, has had to keep in bed during the day that he might be able to preach at night. The result ct the meetings up .to last Thursday evening has been 111 additions, comprising some of the best citizens of the community. Kot one has been unduly excited, but cilmly and quietly he or she has accepted and obeyed the Gospel preached. Nearly one-half the number are heads of families and only a very few are under fifteen years ot age. The audiences have ranged according to the state of the weather ! from 200 to 1,200, averaging about 500. The Hist pictuie, presented by us on last Sunday, shows what excitement the religous feellnjjwlll often produce, and this one shows that rtllgleus progress doet- not new-

sarily depend upon such excitement The tastor of the church at Columbus wis strongly urged last summer to make the race for Congress, but he refused to leave the eacred calling to which he had consecrated bis life. His work this winter certainly shows the truth of one ot his Master's sayings, "Wisdom is justified of her children."

THE QUESTION OF HELL. In the North American Review a Y.ix. Dr. Ehedd defends and justifies hell in the widest and deepest and hottest acceptation of the term. He seexs to make the human conscience a witness for his theory by claiming that it instinctively dreads eternal punishment He says: "Notwithstanding all the attacks made upon the tenet, men do not get rid of their fear of future punishment" Dr. Ehedd Is decidedly uncharitable if not discourteous toward many clergymen when alleging what he does. There are many of the cloth to declare their non-belief in ths existence of a material bell. There are scholars end scientists, consistent members of the churches, who affirm the impossibility of an immaterial soul burning in a material fire. There are parents with hearts full of desire for the happiness, present and future, of their children, who teach contra to the tenet of Dr. Bhedd's hell. Surely these parents, scholars and ministers are not holding and instructing in defiance of their consciences: Robert Burns penned a couplet "The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip To haud the wretch in order." which receives the sanction of a vast number of the Christian family. Whether Scotia's bard or Per. Dr. Shedd is correct is Bot the province of Ibis paragraph to disens. But we doubt if we err in saying that the pcet has as many indorsers among church people to-day as the contributor to the North American. LOATHSOME AVARICE. The pres has for days been making mention of how one "Mrs. E. IL Green, the richest woman in America," appeared in the banking house of John J. Cisco & San, of New York, and after receiving from them about 520,000,000 In first-class bonds from their trust-fund vaults, rolled on the floor md ecreamed like a catamount because the banker retained 500,000 as security for her husband's debt to them. He had borrowed money of them upon securities which depreciated. She had guaranteed the payment, and yet thongh worth some 10,000,000 she fell into the orgies of a wild beast, because she could not force the giving up to her of $5GO,0CO, which her own promise justified the bankers in holding. Who will envey this woman the possession of her wealth if with it must come her degrading avarice? Is is said of her that, with all her wealth, she barely provides comforts for her children. She walks in the worst of weatherrather than pay a shilling for a cab. She sends one ot her bovs out to buy a twocent morning paper, and as soon as she hai read the financial column sends btm out on the corner to re-sell tUe paper. What a despicable paw ion for any one, especially a woman, to be possessed of. If millions thus degrade their owners, let us all be happy we are not millionaires. We print several entertaining special contributions to-day. One from Hon. J. IL Stotsenburg on "Aaron Burr's Indiana Friend" will be found in the supplement. Mr. 0. H. Peeve enters a broad field of speculation in "What Will the Harvest Be?" An ex-editor gives some racy incidents of "Karly Editing in Indiana." Pleasing Washington correspondence is another feature of this issue. It is stated positively that Mr. Randall has been offered the Treasury portfolio. PEIWONAXiS.

We have beard of -'Gentleman George" Tendleton, but never of "Gentleman John" Mclean. It is expected that Archbishop Gibbo js.ef Baltimore, will be created a cardinal the coming May. Mis Ida Lcnxs the Lime Hock heroine, is among the contributors to the fund for a monument to Grace Darling. Mes. Gcaxt always calls the General "Hilam." That is his name. By a clerical error he acquired the name ot "Ulysses" at West Point. Mks, Lanotey's newest photographs represent her clad in seaiskin from "top to toe," and she looks "just too lovely for anything-" Most peple in sealskin do. Mrs. Gzx. Tom Thums is reported to be a beut to marry ' again, and the prospective bridegroom la' aid to be the diminutive "Count" Pwosebud, who exhibits in public the by no means uncommon spectacle of a small man with a big title. - Clara Louise Kellogo once mistook the late Governor Coburn, of Maine, for a janitor of the Capitol, and engaged him to fetch drinking water for her from a spring. She did cot discover her mistake until the work was done and she wanted to pay him. Mis Emilt Faithful is lecturing in Edinburgh on Mormonism, and Miss Kate Field is lecturing in this country on the same subjecr. Both these ladles, judging from their prolonged and persistent state of single blessedness, are averse to a man having a wife at alL "Bill" Nti invites the Prince of Wales's con, who has just come of age, to be his guest when he visits this country. "I tender yon," he writes, the freedom of my double-barrelled shot-gun during the prairiechicken holocaust I know where the angleworm grows rankest and the wild hen hatches her young."

For years and years he traveled over America, and he even went to Europe, making a fortune and epcndlrg it with the prodigality of such men.

Thomar Crossf.t, a well-known architect of Newark, N. J., recently returned from a visit to Europe. While passing through a street in London one day, with a tin box in his band, he was stopped by a policeman who desired to know if the box contained dynamite. Mr. Crossey told the oilicjr that he misht open the box and assure himself that it did cot The offer was declined and Mr. Crceey permitted to pass on, but not until he had declared on hi honor to the officer that there was no explosive In the box..

Written for the Sentinel. K.AHLY EDITING IN INDIANA. By An Ex Editor. Somebody has sail that all great men hare at some period in their career either edited a newspaper or tau;ht tchool. 1 hope that thi3 remark is true, because I have done both. I am, therefore, waiting in long expectation for the distinction tbat reems to follow these employments. Bat eofar, I im fcorryto say, I have waited In vain. -Uli. 1 en I go to Indianapolis, I see many editors iu the L?2ifclature, and those who are not members are either PoHkecpers, or Clerk?, or Fish Ccuimifsioners: so I take heart and return to the rurai UistJ lets, hoping that lightuiu; will 6 tri He ice Foaie day an it hai done my brethren. At one time "before the war" I edited a metropolitan daily in Indiana. The force consisted ef the pronrictor, myself, a permanent devil, who wm always witn u, aad a few tramps or scabs of priuttre. who, while they stayed with uh aad were not drunk, set typa occasionally. Toe proprietor was and is as good a man as the State has ever taJ the borsvr to produce. lie had rliea to thp eres trtp? of "daily" throuth the ion? Rtavalioa of publishinz a country weekly. We had no Fteam eagine In our establishment Tne proprietor made the rollers, set the type aal worked oil the paper. I did the editing; occasionally, when we were eaort, which happened about oaco a week, scttiae type. The dutiei of the 'deTir were manifold, ills chief duty was to act as picket What became of that bojl am unable to say. But often in my army experience 1 longed for ols fcce?, quick eye and his warn ne higcul. At Shlloh that "devil" would hare tared the army from that sarpriso which promises to be a vexed historical question for all time to come. Iiis usual position was on tno stalls. Our 'scats'1 of printers boirded with an old colored man down on the river. These prl'1" were very much like the youn? lawyers of the city, lhey never missed a meal or paid a bill. The old darkey use 1 to come up at Irregular intervals, when he thought the toys had monev, to duu for his bills. On such cccr-siocs it was the main duty of the devil" to ound a clear, shrill whistle. As soon 9 this signal was given every printer took to his heels up a ladder to tne attic and remained taere until the old man had ma le his sad lnspccllun and dei artea. li is needless to cay that oar paper wtti very mucn in lavor of tae people. Our proprietor could have truthfully made the same speech that Senator Voorneeu ho handsomely made before the LegMature last Monday. Ye were decidedly in favor of the exemption law it saved the oflice several times lrom tbo Sheriff". We were opposed tocortoratlocs, ant particularly banfcK. I hare always noticed that the people whom the banks refuse to accommodate are dawn on this species of monopoly. 1 csn not see what use a bank Is unlesa it will loan the poor man money. Ab Danas never do that, they are ol no use, aad It isprobablo that if 1 edited a paper now I would be ou the tide of the people and down on tue baute. But it happened that an adventurous financier came to our city. When a man is utterly broke and has no employment he becomes a nuancier." This particular financier established a bank; in tne 1'UildlnR in which the paper wai issued, liere, I thought, was a tine chance. Hera were the bane nd antidre quite bandy. An I was tne sole ditor of this Influential daily I promised myself orne pleasure and distinction in demol ifchinz this bank while it was still in tne eg?. Its name was at that time rorsland taking, though it has had many suerestore. It was called the " Mining and Manufacturing Company," and nad the audacity to make it promisb-which it norer kept to redeem its bills In the very building in which the paper waft issued. Put this financier was lonncaded. lie understood the power of the press. To control this hs devised the devilish scheme of iiiakicg my proprietor President ot the bank, and the lo-l editor of the rival Whig paper Vice rrcsMeat, reserving for himseli the vastly more Important position of cashier. Having safely arranged that tnere was to be no rt tacit from tne press be commenced opera' ionH. borne of this money was I aid out and the heart of the old colored man wai icjoiced at receiving some new, criso bank bilU. hut although the pre a wai siiont It happened angularly that the people would not take the money. One fellow, with the mean, malicious purpose of breaking liu bntc, loik. a f2 bill and presented it for redemption. ThLswasof course the last thin? thetthe fiantier Lad counted on. lie had over done it. lie had located his oice. 11c had been too smart for the hake of muzzling the pre?s he had rained himself. The practice in Indiana undr the qeneja.1 banking Iaw was to particularly avoid bavin an oilice- The money was nocimaliy issiiud from tone cuntty cross-roada, but the people of the locality were blUsfullr Ignorant of the fact that they had a bink. ho detective ! our flash times of banking couM ever rind a ( ashier to whom to present his bi I Is f or payment. 1 his financier tried in vain in our establishment to borrow 1 1 with which to rd?em his bill, and the bank broke and disappeared ffrevtr. Tbe freedom of the press was thv ha;pily restored, and, us lon as I remained ou In "sUiT" I believe that U the correct word it slugged tanks and corporations with great viior. ab an editor I differed rery much from tome of my brethren. I did not, as a rule, adopt personal journalism. Sometiaiea. of course, ny Whig opponent and I had It tooth and toe nail. On these occasions our manners, haaits, drees, appearance, uncles and aunts and cousins were all commented on in the mo t unfavorable manner. There are few crimes that I bare not been accused of. but 1 usually got ovcn But some things I did not do thngs which in theso days no to make up journalism. 1 old not chtonIci3 the sickness of Mrs. Urcwu's pug dog. 1 did not, whea General Smith and Colonel lirown and Hon. John Jones went huntlnsr, publish it to the world. Tnewe men were leading lawyers, and ef all things in tlic world they did not wish their clients to know thPttbev did such a thing as to shoot birds and rabits. I saved their leelinsrs. .Now if a man takes a cbew of tobacco on the street the local editor has it in the paper the next morning. When a few friends set together at a privaie hense to p'ay a game Of whist I did not publish the fact next moraine with .a loll list of all who were present. There la a prejudice even now against playing ffbUh I am not sure that It is not Immoral. I arn ture that it Is unchristian, the other d.iy I bluffed the local editor of a great city daily, which has steam engines until you can't rest, and is ' lighted by tho electric Hzht, Into alienee on thia question by tcllin; him that his "dad'' was of the party, and the old rnan'4 tuiliicsn wonld be ruined if he published that he was playing whist. This was aU that saved me. The Item would hare gone In, and we would all hare been In disrepute for the balance of oar lives if it had not been for the lucky chance that the j ouns man's father had taken a hand. 1 did not publish a full description of all the dresses the ladies wore at a party. I used to zenerallze, and Bay that taey were all beautifully drcased. I know one poor woman who has giveu np parties, the has but one dre&s. It is a beautiful silk: but she has. I must say, worn it a great many times. Still, why shouldn't she? 1 never had tut two dress ccats in nylilc. One I got when I was msrri?d, thhty years ago, and one after I got fat. fifteen year ago. If I can wear a coat twenty years, why can not a woman wenr a black silk for the same time? As a principl, 1 bollere in the equality of tne nexes. Thia poor wooitn aller every enterutinceut dreaded th- ilht of a newspaper. There it would be, "Mrs. Colonel Smith was drewed In a beantlfal biacfc silJc, cut CeccUete, en train, with bias, trimmed with lace; croamenta, pearls." In a few minutes the neighbor women would come in to see the paper and compare notes. That "old black I1k Rgain," would be the comment. Such snickering, such bidlne of the face with lent: comments like this: "11 looted very nice: you turned it, didn't you "' etc. The poor woman fccldn't stand It. and all through the realism of loea! editinp soetety has lost its most brilliant light, while the great fat husband turns out every time with his twenty-year-old coat, and lancies he is a Chesterfield. 1 had Intended to say rocnetoinz about libol. but that is uiiaseoisiry.
