THU INDIANA STATE SENTINEL, TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1874.,

TUESDAY, APRIL 7.

Tbe Hou appropriation committee having tinder consideration the deficiency bill, has heard Attorney General Williams' explanation of the deficiency of :JUO.000 in the department of justice. lie represents this deficiency as being Incurred by the extravagant and unauthorized expenditures of district court officials, which are now tindrlnvstlgation by thellonse committee. That noble eon of the soil, the high tempered Red Cloud, has been talking "KarcaaticaT'to General Smith. lie spoke his fine acorn of the white men and brethern in the purest Sioux, with a liquid enunciation of the rs, which doubtless had full effect upon the general in command. The subject of the red man's plaint is not very definitely stated but it is possible that the benignant watchfulness of the government has failed in supplying needed spring fashions to the down trodden denizen of the forest. Chicago has just started a novel movement, one without any parallel in this country, and with but one in England. It is the aim of the Sunday afternoon lecture society," which has the matter under its discretion, to furnish a course of lectures and literary amuseinen's to the poorer of the city, at Much very reduced c harges that all may attend. These lectnres are given only on Sunday afternoons, as then only can the great majority of the ina I . t 1 V- Ha.nt.trt TKa ftntortofn. uusinai cjiwjj?! prcocufc. "- tu -inenU are to be of the highest character, aud everything thus far, seems to indicate the entire feasibility and complete success of the movement. There Is no reason why Indianapolis shouldn't have some system of generous culture of the same kind. The field is one that Invites the energies of the benevolent and public spirited. Nothing but' the presence of a regiment and th threatening mouths of cannon has prevented a fearful outbreak and violence of Erie railroad, in Pennsylvania. On Monday the company opened the paymaster's office and disbursed $35,000 to the striking employes. Trains began to run on Monday under the military protection, and it is hoped the backbone of the strike is broken. The citizens claim to be greatly outraged by the intrusion of military force upon their sacred soil to compel peace. The strikers protested to tfii governor against Meg dispossessed ol the railroad by state troops. Bat he replied that he regretted the necessity, but the unlawful proceeding must end. At this distance auch action and sentiment seems both wise and benificent. Propositions bavo been made by the vice president of the road for an adjustment which the stikers thus far have rejected. The signs are that violence -will in the main be averted. Rochefort, the escaped, is safe in Australia for extradition treaties do not recognize political c Censes. All his life he has been in hot water with the reigning powers of France. His editorial course gave the government a chance to fine and imprison him and he was mixed np with the quarrel out ot which grew the shooting of Victor Nolr, who was one of his subordinates, by Prince Bonaparte. He has himself participated in several duels. During the days of the commune Rochefort was one of the leading spirits and was secretary of state until compelled to resign. Upon the collapse of that mad riot, the hot headed editor was tried for bis bare in it, and sentenced to the convict colony of New Caledonia for life. His stay there has been short. It has been asserted that he was to visit the United States on a lecturing tour, but there is reason to believe that the terror excited by this report was gratuitous. He proposes to establish himself in Belgium, where he will keep up a -vigorous cannonade of words upon the government of France. What Mr. McDonald knows of politics is et forth In his own language on the seventh page, by a correspondent, who sent the words of wisdom originally to the Cincinnati Enquirer, a journal of remarkable plans and purposes, published for the amusement of two young gentlemen, the one Controlling the arduous accidents of diting and the other the perfunctory pastime of publisher. In the pursuit of their double mission, these brilliant young gentlemen, in their time, play nrany parts and appear in many places. Now an advanced organ ol the liberal doretrine, shrieking hoarsely for Horace Greeley, anon blue and blazing for Bourbon straight, and resting not until the ancieut Allen come to resurrection. Always, you may observe where it pays best. These young gentlemen have suddenly betrayed an absorbing interest in Indiana politics. The natural query ia becoming painfully frequent and familiar where is the money in it? There Is no Roman Nose in this part of the country to shave into golden sheaves, and as for gratitude, parties In these parts don't deal in the article! ' A curious and timely pamphlet about yellow fever has been issued by J. M. Toner, M. D., president of the American Medical association, at Washington. The horrible recollections of last year's scourge at Shreveport and Memphis compel an interest in this book. . It does not attempt the discussion of disputed theories, wt ether the disease Is contagious or not, nor if it is always imported. But Doctor Toner, who eta tee that he hu never even seen a case of yellow fever, has simply undertaken to collect and collate a mass of well authenticated frets in regard to ths disease in this country lor all the years. He goes back to A. D. 18G3 and makes a complete tabulation of the recorded cases with place, date and authority down to the present time. A map is also appended showing the localities where yellow fever has appeared within the United States and the altitude ol the localities above the sea level. To the profession, this statement of facts is of much Talue, and to residents of Infected districts

the study of it is also of vital interest. Some deductions from the reported facts are made, the most important of which relate to localities. It is shown by the chart that the disease of y sllow fever has never reached in an epidemic form any locality that is five hundred leet elevation above sea. Nor has it ever retired inland more than a very few miles from the sea coast, or river banks. If elevation, then, is a sure escape, as the facts Inductively prove, the people will be glad to know it and escape to the mountains in seasons like the last. The Memphis and Shreveport fact are presented as fully as the short interval since the pestilence would allow. At Memphis the first case appeared August 10, and the last one was November 9. The fatal cases were twenty-nine and one-half per cent, of the whole, anthe total number of deaths was 1,244 in 4,204 cases. Shreveport bad 3,000 cases and 759 deaths between August 12 and November 10. The facts that the fever always begins near the water level and in unhealthy localities, thence snreading, is full of admonition. The writer pertinently gays: "It is to man bimsen and his neglect of the laws governing health and the sanitary condition ot his abode that we must look for some, at least, of the exciting causes.

"Views" from prominent ex-personages in the rebel service are regarded with much attention by those who seek to gauge the capacity of the Southern people to recuperate. D. II. Maury, who was a celebrity long before the war. and whose attainments make his statements of some exceptional weight, volunteers a passing comment on the south. He thinks that the people have shown a good deal of energy and consistency in retrieving their misfortunes. Were it not for the baneful effect of negro supremacy all these states would be prosperous, and to this cause he attributes the present unsatisfactory condition of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. Virginia is prosperous and happy for her best representative men are at the helm. There the negroes are behaving themselves and there is the greatest good feeling between the two races. Tennessee, he adds, is exceedingly prosperous, and the saute may be said of North Carolina. Regulax ocean lines of steamers run from Norfolk to Liverpool bringing into Virginia a tine immigration of Scots and Englishmen, among the latter many retired British officers. The mineral resources of the state are being developed and manufactories are springing up in all portions of the state. If the nation had power to feel as one man, a vicarious blush would have mantled the cheek of the American people for the unspeakable humiliation of Secretary Ricbardsoa. lie testified before a committee that he was little better than a machine at the head of the greatest executive branch of the government. That his name signed to a document was but a formal token. That he knew nothing about the conduct of his office. That his subordinates were virtually responsible and but what use? His admissions revealed nothing new. That he was incompetent no one could doubt, bad he been anything else, General Grant would never have selected him. In the formal testimony in the case of Sanborn, he professed ignorance of even Sanborn's propositions to the department and was evidently anxious to free himself of all responsibility in relation to them. He expressed himself, in closing, as in favor of the repeal of the existing law, and said he would annul the contracts as soon as the House passed the resolution. What the secretary didn't knom 'about this matter seemed to be more certain than what he did know. His appearance before the committee seems to have strengthened the feeling that his early resignation may be looked for. Mr. Richardson was followed by Commissioner Douglas, who let some light into the dark recesses of the treasury mobiller. . He showed conclusively that if the various book-keepers of the revenue department had done their duty, there would be little or nothing for a Sanborn to do by way of an extra collection. Several facts in his testimony went to show that it was by the carelessness and neglect of the secretary of the treasury . that Sanborn was given the opportunity to bring so many false claims under his jurisdiction. He said that Sanborn was brought to him by Butler two years ago, and was recommended to him as a very skillful officer. His first notification from the solicitor's office, that Sanborn had collected any taxes, was on the ISth of January, two days after the House ordered the investigation, and some of these collections were made last summer. There is evidently yet a rich field for investigation in regard to this whole matter. It is stated that farming in England is on the decline. In I Sol, the agriculturists numbered 2.0S4.153; in 1861, 2,010,454; and in 1871, 1,820,902. In twenty years the falling off amounts to 203,200, and that in an increasing population,. Again the diminution is confined to men; the women engaged on the farm are increased in numbers by 9,000. As in this, so in the old country, the young men desert the farm and the country for the ciies,tnecbanical trades,factories, mines, anything that promotes congregating in large numbers. In America the number of agriculturists is on the increase, but not from the sources of native population. Immigration is largely forced to the farm though it evidently ''goes against the grain" even with the Immigrant. He will stay with the multitude if he can, and that, too, in the most repulsive situations. There is another very marked tendency among the' farmers of this country. It is not by any means, the young farmmen alone who desert the arcadian scenes. The old farmer who has made a fortune does the same thing. He has a pile of money what's the use of slaving in the country where he sees nobody? Besides, he affects some airs, and possibly thinks of office to be had among the politicians. Then there are some nice little girls, probably the children of a second wife, they must have better schools than the country furnishes, music lessons, dancing and fashionable dress. So

he comes to the city, lays down (5,000 or f 10,000 for a cottage, and gives his attention to the culture of gentility instead of corn. Exactly this thing is happening every week in this city. Here is work for the grangers. If they can tie the population to the trees, or in some way keep them out of town and fill up the neighborhoods they will certainly do a service for those who must stay there, and correct what may be growing into an evil.

A final decision has made the awards ir. the Farragut prize case an accomplished tact. By tms act rally a million or aoiiars go into the hands of the officers and sailors in the fleets. It is too late now to make a protest against this unreasonable squandering of the national money. There is no general principle which calls for the award of prize money to sailors that does not apply equally as well to soldiers. If a government is to pay sailors, as is now practiced, a certain valuation of all vessels raptured, the same terms should be made with soldiers who capture cities and armies. For instance, Admiral Farragut and his crew realized nearly a million by the capture of the ves sels at New Orleans. Why shall not General Butler and his army obtain a certain proportion of the city of New Orleans, on precisely the same prin triples? Soldiers encounter precisely as many dangers as sailors, and their captures are equally as important and ten-iold more valuable. It is time the prize money busi ness were abolished or made uniform. If sailors are to receive a third, or a tenth valuation of all vessels captured, the same condi tions should be made with an army, and perhaps wars would be shorter and less des tractive? It is the fault of the people themselves if the next council is not an Improvement on the present body. The method of improvement is simple. Men fitted for the places are not few, nor will it be'difficult to secure them if the proper influences are brought to bear. Take the nomination of candidates out of party hands, when there seems a likelihood of a scamp gaining a foothold. In some of the wards very good men have been named already, but if they do not meet the expectations of their neighbors, they should be passed by and independent nominees selected instead. If through the inert indifference of the different wards scamps and scalawags are returned to make the city laws, it would be the fault of the citizens themselves, and they must be content to be fleeced and over-ridden as they are now. In the wards where party machinery is strong, any one who holds the lien of influence can buy or dictate the nomination, and in such cases the party can not be trusted. Indianapolis, above all things, now, needs a body of practical, business men, with characters above the shadow of suspicion. It is in the power of the people to secure them by combined action. The democrats ot Floyd county, held pri mary elections Friday afternoon, and put a county, district and congress ticket in the way of nomination. The points principally of interest to the state, is the naming of the Hon. M. C. Kerr for congress, by a vote of 2,325, an opposition vote of five for Judge Dnnham, and three for Mr. Wolfe, the present member. If parties could be trusted with such work as thi3 always, then we might all surrender ourselves cheerfully to their guidance. Mr. Eerr is a man whose talents adorn the national councils, and whose election confers an honor upon his state and district, nnder whatsoever banner he serves. For the State Senate an equally good man was selected, Mr, F. C. Johnson, who is known only as a conscientious and able man. Mr. John B. Davis, the nominee for the assembly, is in good company and should be a man of character. The county officials are, many of them, named for new terms; the voteindi eating that the people were satisfied with thlr services, at least in a political Bense. If an independent paper had made the report that Mr. William Welsh, ot Phila delphia, puts forth over his own name, there would have been no language ot denunciation strong enough for the organs to denounce him in. Mr. Welsh is the gentleman selected by General Grant to have an advisory voice iu . the . Indian commission. He began his work, and found such reeking corruption that he fled to the president in consternation,' to apprise hiru of the enormity of theft carried on by his Indian commissioner-in-chief, Col. Parker; Geueral Grant was not as ready to listen as Mr. Welsh fancied he would be. In fact, didn't listen at all but let Mr. Welsh tell his own story as it appaars in his report to Secretary Delano: ... . . ; j In the autumn of 170, on my second seml-of-flclal visit of that year to Indian agencies on the Mlssoari river, then under my supervision, I discovered that General Parker, commissioner of Indian affairs, was lending himself to stupendous frauds. Immediately on my return I went to Washington, and. as you know, had a private, earnest' talk with President Grant. lie seemed . unwilling to Investigate, or to have any Investigation of Commissioner Parker's doings. Owing to implicit onndence in his friends, he Is too often blind to their wrong doings. 1 then laid the whole matter before you, and, perhaps out of respect to the chief magistrate, you evinced no willingness to make the investigation. 1 finished' my semi-official report in your office, and rrad it to you. Aa the frauds affected the the Indians then under my care, I could not rest without try ln to nmedy the wrong. Lasted you to loan me the report for publication in the Dally Chronicle. You gave It to me for that purpose, saying, however, that you would have no responsibility in Its publication. It resulted la a congressional investigation, by wblcn huge frauds In on tract . for freight and cattle and flour were revealed, and remedies attempted by legislation. Out of regard to the president, tne report of the investigating committee was very mild, although it set forth all the Important facta. The following paragraph Is part of the conclusion reached : "To the mind of the committee the testimony hows lrregulartiea, neglect, ami incompetency, and. In some instances, a departure from the express provisions of law for the regulation of Indian expenditures, and In the management of aS'alrs in the Indian department." Yet this neglectful, incompetent, and lawless commissioner of Indian a fl airs was allowed to remain in office many months, and until it pleased him to resign. Your ' investigating commissioners will thtts see that my action at that time aorrespohded with their views When stupendous frauds occurred in the appropriation to the Teton fcsioux, and the Cirand river agency, .. on. , the Upper , Missouri, 1 , conferred privately with jou and with the "'assistant-, secretary, Uen. Oowen, about lt;tut I never heard of any ef fort made to Investigate these frauds, or to punish the offenders. Itecently, when frauds in beef and flour were perpetrated at the Bed

! (loud and spotted Tall amende, over which I

and my colleagues have official oversight, and when the Chippewa who claim me as their friend, and with whoae raiwilonarie I have an official oounectlonooniplained o: being wronged by fraudulent sales of their piae timber, I could not rest on an unavailing remonstrance. You know that I aoughta private Interview with she in priaeni, ana inai lor monmn I dm Dn plead! on with yon in vain to obtain a remedy In Hpiteof all this I sllil have hope that you will remedy the wrong done to the tblppewaa, now that the testimony taken by the committee of the Minnesota legislature has brought to light the truth that your commission fulled to re veal. oum respectfully, Wm. Welsh. Miss Dick iu son addressed a full bouse Wednesday night on a topic which she has from study made peculiarly her own. That is, her own in tbe sense of understanding the most intelligible method of its presentation. She has fought a good fight in her strange career, and although we may all differ in tbe llnal estimate of woman's needs, we all join her in desiring a woman's elevation. She has waged what might 1 called an up hill battle, but there li no question that marked consequence have resulted from her ministry. To her more general work she has recently added the thorough discus sion of a subject which must, sooner or later, break over the cowardice of men and tbe timidity ol women and come to the surface as an issue of portentous import woman's degradation by the social infamy. Upon this point tbe Springfield Republican makes this genuine and richly deserved tribute: Anna Dickinson, in all her splendid service for reform, has never before done so brave a thing as when, at Chicago, the other evening, she devoted herself with solemn earnestness to the Interests of outcast women, vict'ms to kocial degradation and physical want. The imme diate occasion was of a sort that does not yet confront us the proposed passage of a social evil statute like that of Ht. Louis; but the evil Itself, as universal as mankind, makes her words as Impressive here as there. "Between us be Truth," said Mis Dickinson, to begin with: and truth she gave in an address of striking eloquence and depth of feel ing, alternating with bitter carcafra, worthy of ner nest tame as an orator, ana honoring her woman's heart and soul. If, as waiters tnence say, it is trne that her noble speech has killed the project of licensing prostitution In Ch'cago, It is no matter for wonder its impression must have been extraordinary In both kind and degree. Anna Dickinson has one more a mission to lulnu, and her hardest one. May she be faith ultolt! Tbe Evansville Courier has taken unto itself a reinforcement of strength. In add! tion to the name of S. R. Terry, those of Messrs. J. o. A o. W. Shanklin are included in the proprietorship, and all appear as the Courier company. Under the new arrangement tbe form of the paper will be of the lashionable quarto, aud be dressed in new type The promise is made that tbe general policy of the Courier, as heretofore, will be democratic, but the new management "Wish it understoou, from the outset, that no man or party will be able to use The Courier as an organ. We warn party hacks and ring manipulators, therefore, that they must not be surprised if instead of- our sup port thev frequently receive our unreserved opposition iu fact, they always will, to be as explicit as words can make our statement." AFTER TUE COUNCIL. VIEWS OF THE CHIEF W ORKERS MR. BEECHER'S HEJiTIMKSTS ON THB OCTOOMK. A special telegram to the Chicago Tribune says: Various opinions were expressed on Sunday and yesterday regarding the result ol the Congregational council. A feeling of satisfaction seemed very generally to prevail. The friends of Mr. lieecher regard it as vindicating their pastor and church, and as an assurance of good will in the future, from the large number of churches represented. They say it was shrewdly managed by men able to please those who want to be pleased without doing anything that can reflect very severely upon any one else, on the other hand, tbe adherents of the Storrs-Buddington party consider that the honor of the church is preserved; that the standard of discipline is up held; the principle er responsibility in fellowship is maintained; and the action of two ; churches in ' remonstrating with Plymouth church is commended. rVhat more could tbey ask? Both sides are satisfied, a division in tbe Congregational body is prevented, and it has been shown that much charity and liberality exists among churches of the de nomination, while they still hold their polity precious. DR. STORKS Expressed in his remarks to his congrega tion on Sunday, his estimate of the result in the following words: -it vindicates and reaffirms positively, powerfully, and with the weight of such a council as was never gathered on any cause in this city before, tbe principles which we have affirmed from the beginning." DR. BUDDINGTON Expressed to a reporter to-day his satlsfac tion with the council's decision. He said every point for which the summoning churches had contended had been sustained. The action of Dr. Storrs and his own church had been misconstrued to their detriment, but he believed that it is now generally con ceded that their motives were not personal, that the council was impartial, and that the cause of tne church and Christianity bad been subserved by its deliberations and de liverance. MR. BESCHER, When asked to-day, his opinion of the decision of the council, said: "In regard to the effect on Congregational polity at large, and especially the influence of such a precedent aa this council, if it should be followed in relation to feeble churches, there is a great deal to be said, but I waive that now. ' In reference to Plymouth church, I have this to say only, that I expected that 100 or 200 men assembled from all the United States, supplied beforehand ' with imperfect docu mentary evidence, and a special plea of statement,, accompanying it, and without any knowledge of the interior . affairs of Plymouth church and tbe details of .Its action, or the considerations which moved it would make serious criticisms upon tbe processes and results of Plymouth church. They .could not be expected to judgt of our aflairs except by the analogy of their own ; but the whole cat was summed up in this: Are the principles aud practices of Plymouth church such as to make it unworthy of fellowship among Congregational churches? The council decided the question in tbe negative. While the calling of such a council, which,may be called a pendalum vibrating between an ex -parte council and an advisory one, must be regarded as a step in the wrong direction and away from true Congregation.alisin, yet its deliverance cn tbe subiect or fellowship in tbe case of Plymouth church la a long step toward liberality and a greater freedom Whatever they meant, that will be tbe practical working of it. God made their action a great deal wiser than they had had any Intention it should be. I regarded the council as a body oi very excellent men. and do not look upon it as packed or picked in any other sense than this: that it was undoubtedly selected from men who were supposed to hold the old and stringent views of Congregationalism. ,

ANNA DICKINSON.

" WAATS TO HINDERT" MOST ELOQUENT WOMAN IN AMERICA A CLOSE APPEAL, FOR SELF-RELIANT TRAINING OF WOMAN. lne uir lecturer or last evening was greeted with an audience worthy of ber reputation and her real merit. Probable many more would have been present than tbe hall would accommodate had there not been a shadow of uncertainty in tbe public mind that Miss Dickinson would be able to be present and take tbe platform. She was. however, at her post, though seriously indisposed, and was introduced by Mr. Hay, who said that he felt honored in presenting to tbe audience "tbe most eloquent wornm in America." Miss Dickinson stepped oulcklv to the front and with a touch of sarcasm remarked: There seems to be a diversity ot opinion on that subject In this city, so it may be as well not to open the discussion From this she passed directly to tbe work in hand. She stated that there is no law, human nor divine to prevent woman from entering upon any pursuit for which her tastes and inclinations fit her. Twenty vears ago it was saia, let women write and in quiet way work the field of lit erature, but to lead and instruct no. no. To-day women stan a at the head of leading departments in met ropolitan journalism in tbe best cities of the United States. Twenty years ago woman could sing or play on the stage, but to attempt to mould public opinion, no, no, that would noi ao. lweuty years ago woman was debarred from any and all of the learned professions; now the doors are open, or will quickly yield if she do but push. On tbe other side, the path may not be smooth, but it is broad. The barriers being uown, then what's to hinder any woman from entering in and achieving all that she aspires to, and is capable of? Of all the great and varied obstacles that lie in the way of this result, the greatest Is herself. 2 ever were truer words spoken than those of Florence Night ingale, when she said that four-hilbs of all the troubles which environ women arise from exempting themselves from doing for them selves. One million eight hundred and sixty-seven women in the United States are on salaries in one forjn or another, ana or these 800,000 are servants. Yet in going all the waj between the two seas tbe pitiful wail met her everywhere for a decent servant. But women ob ject to the calling of a servant, they consider . . . a a. : c i . ; 1 a - it a aegrauation. cue wisueu to say mat any career is desirable to mm, or her who knows how to make it so. She could find a man doing service as a cook at a salary of $5,000 a year, (she would oe glad to find a woman COMMANDING 2,000 for like services. Did the man receive $5,000 because he is a man, and tbe woman three or four dollars a day because she is a woman? Not at all. The man renders a service worth the money to his employer, while the woman does not earn tbe half of what she nets. A man picks his pursuit and then gives to it brain, nerve, will, and his whole energy ai nis me wont, in wmcn and by which he expects to succeed The woman does not pick her work, but takes what comes hrst to hand as an expe dient. She fr.oes.into the kitchen, not to magnily her skill and achieve tbe best results, but to wait there until some man shall call her out to a kitchen of her own, where she may poison him with bad cookery and him discomfort and dyspepsia for his nat ural Hie. It is not genius that is wanted but good training, a cause for thorough preparation for competency In what is undertaken. A girl should learn her work, whatever it is, by special assiduous and faithful training. But the ambitious girl does not like tbe idea of work unless it is something that she and the Eublic consider fine and fitting for delicate and. The speaker saw, wherever she went, the matronly householders weight ed down by day and harrassed in dreams by night with duties in which they could find no aid, willing to give halt their fortunes, yes, and half their hearts for a good home-maker. There are tens of thousands ot plaoes where competency by women is desired. There are 19,700 seamstresses and dressmakers, but of them all, only a small part rendered desirable work, and the lew who do always nave more man iney can oo, and good pay. She had visited tbe great sewing establishments where machine work is carried on. The proprietor or one says: have 1.000 employes. . 100 of them make large pay, are first class bands and I want them at any price; the other 900 make but little, and X don't want them at all. This point was fully amplified and illustrated by many statements of tact. There is one key to success in labor and no man or woman holds it or can confer it on another It mutt be forged in your own brain. Pre) a dice will always go to tbe wall before com petency and efficiency. There are 83,000 women engaged in teaching. How many of them teach as man teaches? Not the ad venturer of three months but the man who chooses to teach as a profession and trains himself for the task. Forty thousand of these women have no business teach ing at all. They hate it. If they had sat. down . face to face with their own tastes and tendencies, they would have found what tbey were fitted for. If we had WOMEN ARCHITECTS, We should then haye houses planned that would be fit to live in. In Germany there are trade schools, and schools of design, and almost all the work done in this field ' In America is by foreign skill. Tbe field here is ample and broad, the work delicate, refined, esthetic and richlv oaid. In this halL bare and severe as It is. there are fifty kinds of work required that a woman could do. Forty thousand women are teaching as an expedient, a necessity because it i an approved method by which woman .may get money which she must have, and still be a lady. But . no one . ever ; made - a successful career who t did not, put., into '.her work i the energies of the will: heart and conscience, besides the desire for money-. No matter how crowded the positions are below, there . is plenty of room nn higher. But no one will ever out thee there. Thou must climb with bloody fingers if need be, but by thine own exertions. The speaker here drew a pretty highly colored contrast between the young man and young - woman as clerks in a store in 1 which it was i - maintained that the girl is usually In efficient as a salesman. The graphic picture wound up with an appeal of deep leeling, when Miss Dickinson cried out with gushing tears; My little sister, take np thy work so that every one will respect tbee for- the way the work is done. She said it was not a pleasant task thus to arraign her sex for inefficiency and afterwards to be misrepre sented in language and in spirit. But still it seemed a good and right thing to tell the truth, for it will be told. But how can this be changed f Ina word, by training. When tbe boy falls he is left to get np alone. If he climbs with bleeding hands and bleeding feet, strong words encourage him and fingers point the way, but be is mercifully permitted to climb alone. He is taught to make a man of himself. What is his education for ? Discipline all the way. But how with the girl? If she fall, pick her up. ' 8he takes the troublesome problem to papa, who cries it is a shame to torment her with it, and when she would climb, some nana meant to be kind, but

fn? liftlH!r up ?nd ?uts her rntiy down in the path beyond. By and by he will

""J?!?0 tbte pUco wh,ro mny ways meet u iwu u wm not Know what to do Sbe stands upon the grave of father and mother her supports all gone, a helpless child. Some one will lead her to tb wayu bere D?r steps take hold on hell. She must decide for herself and at the peril of her life. This Is w hat lie behind the woman of the time, a want or training for self-re lance. Between ber and her life-work is another barrier, that Impalpable something which we call public opinion. It drives the young man forward in his career, urges him on to do and dare, but around tbe feet of women like a sucking tide it drags her out to sea, it shuts her from labor. To the young man, it says aim high, but to the young girl,, no matter how poor the hovel she lives in and how wretched her surroundings, it says, what a pity to leave your home, seek tbe obscure by ways and preserve your womanly delicacy by hard work aud fäiio a 3 ear instead of aspiring to new fields of artistic work for thousands. Kcciety laughs at her. but she laughs best who laughs last. Nobody laughs at success. Miss Dickcuwu uiaue a s&arn strokA of i. ness. which she charatAri7iwi 4 .,, . aziaffecting a large number. Women don't wish to work, but they do want tbe fruits of work. It is claimed that they are flowers and birds and angels. Over against this she put the fact that 2,000,000 women De 4,000.000, In the next generation. We owe it to those to show that labor in honora- " on, are human beings, feed them y?ey wiI1 Krow 8U"Vö them and they will die, the same as men. So they are sensitive to surrounding influences. Bad air, such as we breath to-night, will depress them the same as men, and so public opinion effects her. It is legitimate, bnt train her as you do the young man to strangly take or courageously renounce the fruits of labor. You awaken the desire for good things, give her the ability to satisfy it by her own achievements. A terrible stroke was here dealt to the fashionable marriage for money, without love or any of the virtues, in which the church and state unite to legalize sin. This is bad enough, but worse is to follow. Without training to take care of herself, she seeks the city to fin.Jber fortQno and finds it In her ruin. This portion of the lecture, including the description of a scene in a large city, in which she bore a part in the rescue of a poor orphan girl, was so full of pathos and so dazzling with elonuenne. that it 1. in Justice to attempt to cive in descriptive language what the tears and deep feeling of the speaker, the sympathy and excitement of the audience together render indescribable. Mrs. Dickinson left the stage herself, and her audience alike. OTercome with emotion and battled in tears.

MR. BERGH DEFENDS HtlOT'EssPiTT.r.v rrr t a w IS REGARD TO CRUELTY TO ANIMALS AN INTERESTING INSIGHT INTO PIGEON SHOOTINa AS A SPORT. Mr. Henry Bergh has succeeded in plac ing on the statute books of New York, a law which renders cruelty to animals a punishable and finable offense. The pigeon shooting which Is Indulged in by the young sporting gentry of New York and vicinity has received Mr. Berth's attention and law suit has grown out of his enforcement of the law. The New York Times irives the following account of the trial: On tbe 5th of January, 1872, Mr. Paine advertised a grand pigeon shooting tournament to come off at Fleetwood park, nnder his management. The competitors were to pay an entrance fee of $25 each. The first prize was a silver cup presented by James Gordon Bennett; the second a prize in money. Paine was to receive a portion of the gate money. When everything was in progress tor the opening of the match, a squad of officers, beaded by Superintendent Hartfleld, of Mr. Bergh's so ciety; Captains Dellett and Steers, oiMorrisiana and Tremont police, put in an appear ance on tne ground, armed with a warrant lrom Judge Hauptman. The match was broken up and the sports dispersed. Paine then sued Mr. Bergh for 11,000 damages, and the cause was tried yesterday. Mr. John Develin prosecuted, and Mr. Elbridge T. Gerry defended. In opening the case the counsel for tbe plaintiff argued that although tbe philanthropist, Mr. Bergh, had the good wishes and support of t he community generally, yet he, like all other reformers", was liable to overstep tbe line, and bad in this case done so, and by so doing had invaded the rights of citizens, and set himself against FIELD SPORTS AND HABITS OF TEARS' STANDING OF THB PEOPLE. By the constitution of the United State?, citizens were allowed to cultivate themselves in the use of arm, and such men as "Professor" Paine and others were only engaged in a ligitimate business In thus teaching our citizens the use of fire-arms. Men were thus enabled to familiarize themselves with the gun and become good marksmen, and, if need be, become of use to our country in time of war. Tbe counsel observed that Mr. James Gordon Bennett, who had just given 130,000 to tbe poor ot this city, was a warm admirer of tbe sport, and was a pupil ot the " professor,'' the plaintiff. Mr. Bennett bad shot in matches with tbe Duke ot Hamilton and others. , A letter was here read from Mr. Bergh. addressed to MrJ Ilartfield, the superintendent of the society, iustructing the latter to proceed to Fleetwood park on the occasion , . in . question and break np the match. It enjoined him to beep within the law, and use no violence of force more than absolutely necessary, and to obtain a warrant to enter the grounds. Mr. Ilartfield testified that he obtained, a warrant, and proceeded with a force of police to "the park.' The testimony " of this witness proved beyond doubt that the officers had only acted in strict conformity with the law. Sergt. Steers and Capt. Dellett fully corroborated Mr. Ilartfield's testimony. Mr. Horace B. Clafiln, a vice president of the society, was then called for the defense, lie stated that his country house was situated close to Jerome park, where numerous Figeon-sbooting matches had taken place, nvariibly, he said, wounded birds would fly into his grounds, some with tbe lees shot off, wings shattered, and bills broken. In his estimation such assemblages were a nui sance, and were, as far as his own family were concerned, a great source of annoyance. ' A newspaper correspondent savs the Rev. Miss Turner, who has just been Inducted into the pastorate of the Melbourne Unitarian churchcelebrated the event of her installation by reading lor the second lesson that chapter of Corinthians in which women are ordered to keep silence in the churches.
