WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10. Among a list of New York millionaires printed in the New York "World appears the name of Ulysses S. Grant

The uneducated, illiterate voter is a poorer, and a very dangerous one. The remedy is educate! educate! educate! A Colorado rough proudly wears a rin? through a hole which was made in his ear by the bullet of a bar-room adversary's pistol Oliver Wesdell Holmes la writing a life of Emerson. This will be worth reading. The Doctor is successful both in prose and poetry. Tbr be are about 1,500 private policemen in the city of Philadelphia. The bankers and merchants have but little confidence in tho old force. It is sweet to know that the comet lately discovered in the heavens between the little dipper and the star Eta is the same as the comet of 1S12. Getting married is not a success as a reformatory measure. Girls, remember this when son-e splendid young rake talks lore and matrimony to you. It is asserted that do example has been noticed Of the use of the word don kev earlier than the middle of the lasttentury. New York Sua, Well, you see, Tom Hanna did not get along until later. liEAmruL women are said to be scarce in England. That is the reason that the modcrate Langtry type creates such a furore; and -what will become of the country when Miss Wary Anderson and Miss Chamberlain, the Cleveland beauty, come home? A French sailor died in San Diego, Cal., some time ago, and on his breast was tattooed an ingenious illustration of the crucifixion. The skin, about twelve inches square, was cut from the body, sent to San Francisco, tanned, and is now on exhibition in San Diego. Keep it quiet, or old Ben Butler will start West on the first train. Mrs. Houston, in her recently published "Woman's Memories of Well-known Men." writing of the grace of Tom Moore's singing, peaks of the especial charm with which he gave the melody, ''I Saw from the Beech." This revised text of Moore's stanza conjures up a comic picture enoush of the bard of Erin perched up among the boughs of a tree, like Zaccheus, or King Charles in the oak tree. Ths Health Board of Connecticut is investigating a poisonous wood from South America called cokobola. It takes a brilliant polish, and is much used for knife handles and ornamentation, but it poisons the men who work it Children playing in its sawdust Lave had their feet poisoned, and at a lare factory in Elm street, Bridgeport, chickens have died after eating the dust that had settled on the grass. "What to do with boys" is a matter that is attracting attention in Great Britain now. The Duke of Westminster suggest the establishment of training schools for those of the lower orders for the army upon the same principal as navy training schools. The objection to his plan is that many who would take all the advantages of such institutions might refuse later to serve as soldiers, the army being far from popular. The London Graphic, in connection with this subject, reluarks that even if they did, other honorable Careers would be open to them, and thus the main object of reclaiming the large number of pauper boys would be attained. The British Board of Trade in its railroad report, just issued, states that in the whole 1'nited Kingdom there were, in 1382, 13,457 rr.iies of railroad, and that more than hall of the distance was laid with double track, about 27,700 miles of track in all, and that the amount of capital invested amounts to about $3,833,000.000. In the United States there were, in 1332, 113,329 miles of railroad, chiefly single track, showing an investment Of $0,805.004,329. It will be noticed that the English roads represent a valuation of about $200,000, and those of the United States $G0,000 per mile. It is stated that the net earnings of the English roads approximate $9,000 per mile, while those of the United States are 8et down at about ?2,700 per mile. The dividends declared on the English roads for 1332 were as follows: Rates of dividend. From 2 to 3 per cent From 3 to 4 per cent From 4 to 5 per cent From 5 to 6 per cent........ From 6 to 7 per cent......... From 7 to S per cent From 8 to 9 per cent Am't otcaplttl 6.9i4,9l7 . 16,176,9) 60.6.10.70? b-t.-fl,5-M 2'),7W.ti'.tt 37.7 tiW 2,6i.410 "in the Lmted btates," says III York Commercial Bulletin, "the percentage Of D6t earnings to capital was 4.5 in 1332, and about 5 percent, in 1872; but the dividends declared in the past ten years have averted a very small percentage on the investment, being a Wut 1 5 in 1332 and but a little Over 2 per cent, in 1872. Nevertheless, many roads declared dividends that showed as good investment as in F'nglish roads. Much of the earnings of roads in the United States'? as well as new capital, goes into extensions and improvements that are not expected to yield a dividend for many years, the profitableness of Luildicg them coming largely out of the increased valuations of other property. The profitableness of railroad investment in the United States can not be seen in the total account until the railroad expansion ceases lind the population have grown more nearly up to it. Moreover, the percentage would U ndoubtedly be higher if the capitalization of American railroaas was less "watered" than they are. Nevertheless, there is undoubtedly a great future for railroad property in the United States, although there will always be many miles of road that will scarcely pay dividends." It is quite certain if the water could be evaporated from railroad investments in the United States, the per cent, of earnings to capital invested w ould make a far better showing, but as matters are now managed no one can calcu Jate earnings upon investments owing to the water which enters into them. MILLIONAIRES AND THEIR MILLIONS. To denounce men because they ara rich is not only supreme folly but a crime against focietv. social order, the well being of comittaities and the State at large. A a matter

of fact there is very little of that sort of literature published in this country. Here every one that is to say, every Dcrson who is animated by a laudable ambition to better his condition seeks to posses wealth. They toil for it. They want comfort in old age, and labor to secure at least a competency iu the vigor of their early and mature manhood. Such yearnings and aspirations demand approval. They are in the right direction and contribute to the general welfare, and if by means, recognized as legitimate, reat wealth, expressed by the term "millionaire." is secured, no prudent person complains. Wealth amassed by such methods excites neither envy nor jealousy in the minds of reputable people. It requires no labored eflbrt to demonstrate the power of money, but large fortunes in the hands of men capable of appreciating the responsibilities which wealth imposes, exerts a beneficent rather than a pernicious influence, and such is the opinion all good citizens invariably express. It should be understood that it is the surplus wealth of a community that carries forward all great enterprises. Those who build factories, elevators, machine shops, railroads, etc , do it with surplus capital obtained from those who have mo my to invest, and hence, instead of capital creating contention it should be regarded in the light of a benefactor, which, combining with skill and labor, makes the world move. Cut there is another side to this "millionaire and their millions" question, and it is the side which is productive Of anything but complimentary criticisms. It is unfortunate for society that many of the rich men of the period reach the goal of their ambition by routes (too often "star routes") which make large-fortunes themes for denunciation, create unrest, fears and doubts, and, in numerous instances, disorder. We have the monopoly, the aggregation of money for the purpose of oppression, the few demanding tribute money from the many, and, to make the situation objectionable to a degree which defies the powers cf rhetorical figures, these monopolies are shielded in their nefarious proceedings by laws and Courts. We have constantly in view a set of heartless speculators, able to command moiiev in almost unlimited amounts, banding together for the purpose of creating corners in commodities which are the life of the people, advancing prices regardless of the consequences to those dependent upon their daily toil to obtain the means of subsistence, and when appeals are made to the Courts for redress, the people, the great mass of wagernen. the creators of wealth, are told there is no remedy; that they must submit, grin, be:id and bear their misfortunes as best they can. Wi en the people in their dilemma appeal to Legislatures and to Congress for redress, the "money powei" confronts them in well organized lobbies, and the ait ''"- is maintained. It is such things that create incertitude and inaugurate industrial troubles of fcr reaching consequences. The remedy is in the majesty of the ballot and the integrity of the representative

WHAT CARRIED INDIANA. IIisExcellency Governor Torter, as the readers of the Sentinel are advised, recently visited Ohio for the purpose of instructing the people of that State, particularly the republican people. The Governor, after opening his mouth a few times, performed the remarkable foot feat of putting both feet into it. The Governor did him gTeat credit by the exploit. We doubt if the india rubber man could have gone through the performance more creditably. When the Governor informed his Greenville audience that the iiepsbiican party does not believe the suppression of wrongdoing the best for it he stated a fact of giant powder power. It was a bugle blast, equal to a whole brass band playing the rogue's march at the funeral of the party. Hut Iiis Excellency managed to extricate his feet from Iiis Ciouth and proceeded until he came to his peroration. He had built a mountain of wonderful materials, kind of a junk shop assortment, second-hand articles, threadbare argument", kocked hat theories, odls and ends ideas, dilapidated conceptions, antiquated notions that had been masticated and digested a thousand times by Republican organs and stump speakers until they could not be made to furnish an ounce of nourishment to the ton. After building that sort of a mountain Governor Forter concluded to put a peak on it something pretty for the sun to shine on something as beautiful and as captivating as "Iudiana in her dawn." The Governor's listeners were doubtless all anxiety to see the peak to hear the peak. It came at last, and here it is: Do you ask what carried Indiana? I answer auch organization and personal efforts as I have described. rvery man did his part everywhere. There are ninety two Counties ia the State. The candidate for Governor spoke in eichty-slx of them, Sand the cood feeling ran so hi;h that I believe I fall far below the mark when I say that he shook bands at the apeaking places with more than 50.000 persons. The tida set In for us at a very early stage of the canvass, and it stayed witn US to the end. We have & Ion; border upon Kentucky and Illinois, and from a few days after the csnvass bepan we had no fears of tue result, if W could prevent an extensive importation of voters from those 8t ites. 1 will not say thare was a eherne for auch an importation, but I will say that we had heard and firmly believed there was, nd whatever willingness we had to receive pecuniary aid was almot holly for the purpose of being aole to thwart this scheme. The organization we had was almost aj complete as a perfect military organization, and, for my ptrt, while willing to cive doe credit to Committeemen, and to candidate, and to the speaker;, I hare always believed the largest credit U due to the privates la the rank. If in the Ptate of Ohio ynu have organization like this, if the people are alive and doing a chief part of the work, your standards will certainty be borne to triumph. By all the gods of the Greeks was there ever such a peroration since the day when Dorsey, the convicted liar; the brazen, impudent robber; the execrable briber; the universally acknowledged, thrice damned villain was feasted at Dclmonico's; eulogized by Grant.; Arthur, Beecher et al? It has been known and recorded that Dorsey carried Indiana. S.'p, Conner.Jan unimpeached Kepublican, discloses over his own signature that Dorsey proposed to him to import voters from Illinois and offered the money required to make the flagitious crime a success. Still. Governor Torter. in Ohio, attempts to Und some other reason for carrying Indiana than the Penitentiary crimes perpetrated by Dorsey and his pal. ,Hon. W. P. Fishback, .a Republican official. ' living In the same city with Governor I or ter, proclaimed over his own signature in

the public prints that here in Indianapolis $400,000 were expended to corrupt the elections, and that Republicans high in o3ice connived at sucli crimes as bribing election officials to stuff ballot-boxes and falsify election returns, and that other Republican scoundrels aided the eäcape f arrested villains who had committed ihe crime of repeating, for which they had been rewarded. And it is further in testimony as a means of carrying Indiana that experts were employed to teach Republican rascals how to vote and count double tickets, and this testimony is given by Republicans who stand as high in the pnrty as does Governor Porter himself. In the face of such Republican testimony, that has not and never will be contradicted testimony with which we assume Governor Porter is entirely familiar he presumes to tell allied ltepublit anshow Indiana was carried, without so much as an allusion to the real forces and factors which secured a Republican victory in Indiana in 1SS0. He seems to attribute the victory to his speeches and his hand-shakings. If every hair in the yellow locks that curl around and adorn his classic head had been a hand, and all could have been shaken a thousand times a day, Dorsey would not have given a "tinker's dam'' for the shakes. Doisey knew the power of forgery, perjury, bribery, the importation of voters and repeaters, and he disbursed the $100,000 in a way to secure the end sought, and when the most villainous crimes were committed, W. P. Fishback says Republican "high officials" connived at them. In the face of 6uch statements Governor Porter embellishes his peroration with innuendoes that Democrats imported voters from Kentucky. He does this in the face of S. P. Conner's statement that Dorsey offered the money necessary to import voters from Illinois and in the face of Fkmback's statement that republicans have been rewarded for aiding the escape of arrested villains who had been detected in casting illegal votes for the Republican party. It is doubtless true that the Republican party was well organized, and it was this organization thai made it possible for the bosses to commit it3 crimes und escate deserved punishment.

BUTLER IN MASSACHUSETTS. Taken all in all. General Ben Butler, Governor of Massachusetts, is not a person specially ordained of Heaven to inspire the highest and holiest desires and ambitions of our much-boasted and too often maligned humm nature. General Den Butler is not a saint. He is not a fool. He is a Massachusetts man, and declares that Massachusetts has made him what lie is, and for what he is he is profoundly grateful to Massachusetts. General Butler has talents of a certain order, and they are the best of their class. He is cunning, adroit, impudent, brassy. In law lie knows all tho tricks; in politics every subterfuge. In analysis he is a master; in coloring, an artist of acknowledged attainments. At on time, professedly a Democrat, he was cou.-ted by the Republicans. He had his price. The Republicans paid it. General Den Butler weut into their camp and they sung his praise, decorated him, elevated him, gave him notoriety. Being inside of the Republican party, close to its liver and lights knowing all about its heart, lungs, stomach, digestion, and intestines, General Butler found out that the party was rotten, corrupt, vicious and venal, and concluded to crawl out and use his information for cleansing the living abomination. . General Butler announced his purpose, declared his mission. In all of Massachusetts General Butler appeared to be the only tool especially fashioned for the work of letting daylight into the Republican party, of opening the corrupt heap Of Sweltering nastiness. The question was bow to utilize General Ilutler SO S3 to accomplish the most beneficent results. It was resolved to rrake him Governor of Massachusetts, in that position be would represent several tons of dynamite. To get him in position and. touch him off would do the work. The brave men of Massachusetts resolved to do it. It was done. What is the result? The Republican party in Massachusetts is known in all civilized lands to be an aggregation of tho foulest abominations that ever made humanity hold its nose. The Republican party of Massachusetts is synonymous with Tewksbury, and ever since the day when Coleridge discovered seventy separate and distinct stinks in the city of Cologne, nothing has equalled Tewksbury ism in Massachusetts. Insanity and ignorance, vermin and vice, poverty and prostitution, filth and fanaticism, death and degratdaion, a stiff factory and a human kin tannery. Butler resolved to cleanse Tewksbury if it politically killed every Republican in Massachusetts. He did it, and the indications are that the Republican party in Massachusetts is as as dead as a Tewksbury stiff, and if it were possible it ought to be skinned and its hide tanned for the manufacture of whips with which to scourge the Republican party out of power at least in all of New England. Butler, whatever may Iks said of hilll, has accomplished a good work in Massachusetts and he will aeain be elected Gov ernor of the old Bay State. MARTIN LUTHER. Oft the 10th day of November, 14S1, at t!i town of Eisleben, Germany, Martin Luther was born. Nearly 400 years have come and gone, and the fame of Martin Luther grows brighter. The four hundredth anniversary is to be celebrated with great pomp In Germany, and is not to pass unnoticed throughout Christendom. The verdict of the nation, long since rendered, proclaims Martin Luther's fame immortal.' It grows brighter as the centuries roll on. . Aside from Martin Luther's religious views, about which men may differ, there was that about him which all unprejudiced people must admire. He was learned, he was conscientious, he was brave and heroic. Power could not awe him. In the majesty of his convictions he was superior to fear. He loved the truth for truth's sake. He sought it, found it as he believed, and adhered to it under circumstances which would have appalled ordinary men. It was doubtless well for Europe and the rest of the world that Luther's theological views should be established. That question, however, is still debated. Men and women, communities and Nations, disagree, but everywhere free thought is strengthening its foundations and rearing its impregnable fortresses. Luther was a free thought champion. . He chose tolelieve or disbelieve, as to him seemed right, and the world is preparing diadems, wreaths and chaplets for men who do and dare as their convictions

prompt. Luther's peculiar J theology numbers its votaries by millions. Multiply the a by tens and we have the grand army of mu who applaud his courage and stand ready to march under his banner. We have said that Luther possessed couragemoral courage, the courage of his convictions. It is recorded that Luther was warned against attending the Diet at Worms. His immortal reply was: "It there were as many devils in Worms as there are tiles on the roofs of the honcs, I would go on." Go on he aid. At the Diet Luther was confronted with the questions whether he avowed himself the :iuthortf certain books bearing his name? and whether he was disosed to retractor persist in their contents? Luther instantly acknowledged himself the author of the books, and in regard to retracting any thing . contained in his writings he made use of the following memorable declarations: "Lot mo then be refuted and convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures, or by the clearest arguments, otherwise I can not and will not recant, for it is neither sate nor expedient to act against conscience. Here I take my stand. I can do no otherwise so help me God. Amen." Such words lifted Martin Luther to the sublimest elevations of herejy. He enthroned conscience, swore allegiance to conviction, Staked his all, dared power, vengnance. Prisons and death, placed himself on record as tne of Gol's nobility, and nor, 400 years after his birth, his fame goes sounding around the WOrld. Good men and great men lived before Martin Luther was born, good men and great men have lived since he passed away, but in the list of great men on immortality's scroll, whose name shines with a more resplendant luster than that of Martin Luther's? Luther led a stormy life from early morn to the close of his life, which terminated February 13. 154G, at the agoi of sixty-two years two months and eighteen days. It will be noticed that Luther was born before Columbus discovered America before it was known to European? that there was a Western Hemisphere and when the news of the discovery of the New World was creating intense excitement in Europe Luther was translating the Bible into the German lan gunge, laying tho fouiuurtions of German literature and making ' the tongue of his country a look language." It is well to celebrate the four hundredth or the ten thousandth anniversary of such men, since the human family can not outlive its obligations to men who inaugurate revolutions the benefits of which increase as the centuries toll on.

CCltltttST Nofi:s. There arc thirty uuuu loett ia New York who sell newspapers, mo't of whom own their own stands and do a good busin.es. There are 8J0 girls in New York who are copyists, type-writers and Ueno? ra pliers. They bid fair to outnumber tlie school teachers. Choic e grapes are sc'.iin? in California at 510 per ton. An acre of fair !tnd there will produce six I tons, while fifteen to twenty tons per aero Is not an unusual crop. A yovmg ntme In Denver confessed to a very sick woman that 8ht was 10 be her successor. FaUl confession! The sick woman became so mad that she got well. Picking grapes for raisins has commenced throughout the Santa Anna Valley, in California. It is estimated that there will be about 50,(kX) boxes of raisins made there this season. A fireman, who poisoned some cold meat to "settle" a dos. and then ate it with his luncheon, has got a new and improved memory since the doctors succeeded In getting the meat back. The vast population, traffic and turmoil of the world's metropolis are strikingly suggested by the Simple statement that 2,200 trains leave the railroad stations of London every twenty -four hours. Bob Too x ps furnishes another funny item for the Atlanta Constitution. Some one asked him if he thought the inspection of fertilizers was a pro tection to the farmer. I'll bet tw," he replied, "that I can take a sack of sand and dra a polecat through it and fool the best inspector they've got" It doesn't pay to carry on a conversation with a Judge when he is on the bench. Joba Kerwln, just after Sentence in Albany tO four years' imprisonment for grand larceny, turned and shouted at the Judge: "I would like to murder you. I hope you will rot In your wave." The Judge gave him another year. AT Deptford, England, when a Coroner was about to swear a Jury, he opened a book which supplied by the landlord of the tavern at which the inquest was held, and discovered that instead of the New Testament it was a copy of "Tristram Shandy." It wns some time before a copy of the right book could be fouud. A Massachusetts woman who had not been able to stand upon her feet was miraculously cured the Other day. A bad boy threw a mouse Into the room, and la less than eight seconds the iuvalid bad hopped across the room on three chairs and was standing on top of the bureau with her clothes wrapped around her ankles. Eugene Ayres, of Milford, Pa., writes home to bis wife from an Iowa town that he is "penniless nd ashamed." The trouble with Eugene is that he had a petty quarrel with his who two weeks after marriage, and. thinking to spite her, be left for parts unknown. She has sent him money to come borne with. There Is now a bo't on the Thames which is successfully propelled by electricity. The expense is about the same as that of steam, but the convenience is much greater, and there is no heat or smoke or cinders. That el ctricity is to be the mator of the future oa the water as vre as on the land there is very little doubt. The sky-larks introduced into this COUntrf & few years ago by the publisher of the New York Sun. ere multiplyim and heading Southward to escape the rigor of the Northern winters. The sky-lark Is a religious bird, and mounts the heavens at earl v dawn to Sing the praises Of the Lord. "Gotn skylarking." In the accepted .Unification of the term, means an altogether difiereut thing. Mr.p. Fcbloko, of Westmoreland County, Virginia, who is in Washington on a visit, says she owna the horse that J. Wilkes Booth rode after he assassinated Lincoln, and on which he escaped to Vlnrinla. The horse, though twenty-five years old, is very lively. It was generally supposed that Booth killed the horse he rode and left him In a swamp before be crossed the Potomac from Maryland to Delaware, but Mrs. Furlong says this la U' sO. The Brooklyn (K. Y.) lady Mrs. Fajan who rnairied the wealthy Osbkosh lumber man, a I. Talse. has in press the story of ber life, which will shortly be issued. It is destined to create a sensation. Paige Is Chiefly known to fame by offering f 5,000 for the rescue of his former , wife from a burning botel and then refusing to pay the reward, and his recent disastrous failure for upward of 9,700,000. He had always lived at Oshkosh, but moved to Dubuqur, Ia., shortly before his death, six months aco. Throughout the Empire of Morocco there are villages where the eldest members of the adult population follow professionally the pursuit of fatten young girls for the matrimonial market of Barbary. The Mooory, like the Turks, give adocided preference to "moonfaced" wives over lean ones, and are inoie solicitous as to the number of pounds which their wives weigh than about the stock of accomplishments which tbey posses. .The fattening process begins when the girl ia about

twelve years old. Stiff maize porri?le, fcnealel U3 with grease, is dally fed to her iu the form of holusus. It she declines to tike them they are cramed down her throat. China, saya a recent traveler, is almost everyhere a laud of the dead. For thousands of years the inhabitants have assiduously employed in burying each other. In the Sortti t'.iere are few graveyards, and the person who die i placed la the most convenient spot which o.Tori itself, and that may chance to be the center of a field of rlee or on the roadside.

Long Bhanth ia said to be the oldest town in that rart of New Jersey, and the queer little Church about which the houses are clustered wa originally built in Queen Anne's time, althoush but little is left of the origin il structure except the high-backed Governor's pew, the silver communion service, the Bible, and the old cross surmounted by a crown which bears the weathercock. The crown, tradition says, bad its symmetry of design marred by a bullet during the Revolutionary war, when some zealous patriot wasted bis ammunition on the hated symbol. The whole place now has s j calm an air it is hard to realize that it can have witnessed such stirrinfr times. There are some queer old stones in the graveyard which surrounds the Church. One leaning against the walls bears the date of 1723 on its crumbling surface. A stone which immediately attracts attention is a plain marble slab, quite moss-grown, although not yet a half century old, next to which is another of the same size, but much more modern, while in an even row are arntnsed ten liuie wbite marble slabs about a foot high. The inscription tells that they were raised to ten children of Aaron Jones, "who died within en day of their birth."

CURIOUS CONDENSATIONS. The Cream of Interesting Incidents Condensed. Five dressmakers have been detected wearing hollow bustles filled with poiut lace while passing through the Custom House. , There are over 6,000 known lan2U(;ej and dialta. How many more will be discovered when Africa is fully explored is a matter of conjecture.

It is asserted that the Czar of Russia's famous ride through the streets of Moscow when entering it on the occasion of his coronation was a saam, aud that he was personated by an oflicer of the imperial Guard, made up to resemble him. Certain officials of the Eneiish Embassy discovered the cheat, and they have not maintained the silence which was enjoined upon them. An uabroken line of rail now exists from Tort land, lie., to its namesake in Oregon. A commission house has arranged to dispatch ten freight cars filled with canned corn pot op by Portland, Me., films direct to Portland, Ore., without change. Each car will be labeled from Portland, Me., to Portland. Ore., so that they can not fait to be noticed all along the route. The train will bo photographed before it starts. A Mks.
