l'GraWrM."E Church.
By rcfereace to out local columns, it will be seen that tbts v'Church, on the S. W. Corner lof IBroad way and Seventh Streets in oar Hy, will be dedicated to the service of-Almighty -God, on Sabr bath , next, Sept. &2Gih, and that Bishop Auks will officiate at the dedication ceremonies.' J ' ;' Far thre first time, on Thursday last, bj the politeness of Mr. I. II. Dunn, one of the Building Committee, we were shown through ' the' room devoted to public worship, and its' magnificent appearance well-arranged and comfortable scats, all carpeted and cushioned alike its broad aisles, also carpeted the capacious semi circular altar, with its plain and neat bannisters suriound-
ing it the tasty marble altar, the most
appropriate pulpit we ever saw from
wuiv. iae "Word of Life" can be dis
pensed the intiful alcove, back of
the pulpit, with a fine marui sacramental table, and its fine settee, formed by
three highly finished chairs placed side
by side and two; single chair3 of the same style arranged on the right and
left and then the appearance presented to the beuolder, on his entrance into the room,' when his eyes' first rest on the peculiar finishing or form of the recess containing the pulpit and altar we mean the; wall, from floor to ceilingone each within the other, and all looking as though they were standing out in
a line, and " inseparably " combined together, all seemed to say to us, This is
surely the poet's "Gospel Gate"' that he
represents as being ''open night and,
day," and this Is truly a fitting templb
in which finite man' can worship the In
finite God ; ,
The Paintings on each side of the Pulpit, copies of Raphael's Scriptur e
scenes of the Transfiguration of Jesus,
and Peter's "reception of the Keys, are not only meritorious as works of art,
but are well calculated to induce serious
thoughts in all who gaze upon them.
We know not who it was first conceived
the idea of having these grand pictures
placed in a Methodist Church ; but be
it whom it may, he deserves praise and
commendation for the sublime thought.
There's mkthod in it, and the 'artist
sneaks it methodically. All this is the
work of John and James Greenhow,
Englishmen, of Ripley, Oliio, who are
the contractors for the Paintings and
Frescoing, and . deserve the highest
praise for the handsome manner in
which they have fulfilled their contract
The exquisite workmanship on the ban
nisters, or railing," in front of the gallery, cannot be surpassed in ornamental
excellence, and the same may be said of
the magnificent . window in front of the Church. Indeed, wo do not hesitate to
say, and we think we are within the bounds of truth in saying it, that, altho' there maybe larger and more capacious
Churches in the State of Indiana than
"Grace,'' yet, there are none better or
more handsomely, - tastefully and neatly
finished in all its parts, from turret to
foundation stone, than it is.
One characteristic feature about this
Church that is worthy of all praise, is
the fact that nearly every thing connect
ed with its furnishing and finishing, excepting the marble pulpit, carpet and a
few other articles that are not manufac
tured here, are of Richmond manufac
turo made and fashioned by Richmond
mechanics, of whom it may well be said
there are . none better in Uncle Sam's
dominions, or on the outside thereof.
Had we only thought of it when at the
Church, and made the proper inquiries
of Bro. Dunn, he no doubt would have gladly furnished us the names of those mechanics who did the work, when with
a Hubbard-like pencil we would have
made a lot and given each individual
due praise or his handiwork. But we didn't, and will have to leave ihat for another time, barring one, whose work was specially brought to our notice by a quiet rest ing spell we enjoyed on it whilst Bro. Dunn expatiated on the skill of the man who fashioned and wrought them into the beautiful and comfortable shape they are now in. We allude to the settee and chairs occupying the rear of the pal pit, and to that master-mechanic, Anton Egli, of oar city, who is one among the best Cabinet-Makers (not excepting President Grant) in the United States. He well deserves ' and he should receive a more liberal patronago from our fellow-citizens. The Pews are all arranged in a semi circle, and they are estimated to hold about five hundred and fifty pgrsons all seated comfortably. We have no doubt, at the dedication ceremonies, on Sabbath next, its ' capacity for holding quite one thousand persons will be tested, from the anxiety already manifested to hear Bishop Ames Granville Moodt
and other eminent Divines who may
probably be present.
During our brief visit to Grace Church two of the young ladies, Miss Hyde and
Miss Taylor, who both sing delightful ly, were prevailed upon to sing a Sa
cred song, accompanied by the melo-
deon, in order to let us hear how music
sounded in the audience-room. As the
tones from the Instrument and the voices swelled out to their ' utmost capacity,
and filled the church with , melody, we
thought how ravishingly the same glo rious air would sound if blown from a
large organ, (and we understand it is the intention of the members to pur
chase one,) and accompanied "by a full
church of voices, all united in singing praises to the Fountain of Life the Father of all.
An Address to Young Men.
By General Samuel Fenton Cary, Delivered
,f ; at Troy, New York, Oct., I sua.
The following extract from the
great speech of General Cary, at Troy,
New York, shortly" after his removal
from office, is one of the most thrilling
things in the political literature of America. It is the peroration of a three
hours' speech, made in behalf of Gover nor Fenton, a cousin of General Cary. The effect of this mighty outburst was tremendous. General Cary himself was deeply touched by it. He said he nev
er witnessed such a scene. The sublime
indictment of the Democratic party he
wrote out with his own hand, for tho
Troy Times, in which it was originally published. Ed. Com.

The vote in Indianapolis on Tuesday,
Sept. 14., on the question of appropriating $350,000 to the Indianapolis, Del
phi, and Chicago and the Indianapolis
and Illinois Central R u lroads resulted
in a small majority for the measure in the city, but in the county the vote was overwhelmingly averse; so the measure
fails. A Helena Montana dispatch says, that the coach which started Saturday, Sept. 4, for Corinne was stopped Tuesday about midnight; fifty miles north of Corinne, by robbers, who obtained about 830,000 worth of gold bars. Somebody, supposing that Mr. Andy Johnson did really desire a return to pastoral simplicity and a vegetable diet, has kindly'prescnted him with a whole load of water-melons. There is no such
thing, we believe, in nature as a whisk-ey-and-water-melon; and, if there were, "a load"' of the fruit might be too much for Mrl Johnson. The water melon, however, if properly iced, is a great cooler of "hot coppers." Still, it does seem hard, when a man is aspiring to or perspiring for a Scnatorship, that he should be put off with a load of wtlernielons. It looks like what Mr.- Nasby calls 'sarkasm." Grease on Carpets. Cover the grease spot with whiting, and let it remain until it becomes saturated with the

General Butler tells the followinsr
good story: While he was in command
at New Orleans, a native Louisianian
was observed one day by a wag reading a staring placard on a wall in a public street: "Buy your shirts at Moody's." The reader inquired of the wag what that meant. "O" said the joker, in a
solemn tone, "that is one of the edicts
of the tyrannical Butler." The Louisi
anian remarked: "But I dont want any shirts:" "Well" said the wag, "you'd better buy a few. It is the safest course to comply with tbe order: for Butler is a perfect despot, you know." So the frightened Creole sought out Moody and bought a quarter dozen shirts. Indue time a Paris paper arrived at New Orleans, in which the facts were narrated
as proving that Butler was both tyranni cai and mean using his power to com
pel citizens to buy shirts of one Moody, who was undoubtedly his partner!

Dbab Bhk. You an J I have been long acquainted, quite thirty years, and have seen tho ups and downs of life have had a share of life's pleasures, and a great deal of iti adversities; nevertheless we still have our being at least I have. I have not Been you for some months, but hops you are still on the outer side.' , -: -- -- You are well aware that I am not a literary man, have not been a scribbler for the various papers. Therefore, you will excuse me when I ask you to insert this in your old Pal. That name runs back almost beyond the memory of man. It Ls known to a great many that I am among the first yes. the first that settled in the White Water country over sixty years ago. I was brought to In
diana territorv. bv mv n-irtnts. from the State of
Kentucky. Thus you see I date back over ha1 f a century and as few have written any thing in relation to the privations and hardships of ths early settlers
of that part of Wayno county, where Richmond now sUnis, I thought it might benefit those who are to come after rae tokiowsomathiug of its early history . At the tima above referred to the now present site of Richmond was a dense forest, the axe of civilized man had marred none of its primeval grandeur and beauty. My father was ths first owner of the land north of the National Roal, known as the St rr or Cox quartr, though he settled on the track where Buhl now lives, at which place I remained until I was nearly grown, and with my own strong arm aided my father in clearing the land, rolling and burning the brush to prepare the ground, so that he co'd raise the wherewithal to support the family. All middle and northern Indiana was one wild wilderness where the Red minroamsd over hills and valleys free none to dispute his right save the wild beasts which sometimes contended with him for the mastery for a habitation with him in their native forests. The Indian felt himself to be lord of the soil. He looked upon the vast herds of deer and buffaloes, and the numerous flocks of turkeys, p'.ieasants and prairie hens as all his own, given to him by the Great Spirit, for the sustenance of himself, his squaw, and his papooses, and the bear, wolf, otter, beaver and raccoon as so many instruments furnished to bis land in order that he might hava raiment with which to keep warm during the long months of dreary winter. But the Indian has gone further toward the setting sun. Though once they roamad through every forest in Indiana, and thoircamp fires were burning on ev-
' ery hilltop and in every valley, and their wild whoop
was heard to ring in all the forests, they have all dis
appeared save a few who still cling to the graves of
their fathers. Instead of the wild, unbroken forests which stood in all their majestic grandeur sixty- two
years ago, now, in every part of Indiana, fields o
golden grain are seen. Instead of the w igwam the stately farm house shows its proportions; instead of nature's orchards whera grew the wild plum, cherry
and grape, now may be seen cultivated orchards,
producing all the varieties of the most delicious fruits; instead of the : Indian village composed of a
few smoky huts, now rise3 the populous city of Richmond, with pavel or mieilimisjJ streets, its ex ten
sive business houses, stately mansions and church edifices, with their lolty spires pointing towards the clouds ; instead of the narra.v IudUn trail, the eye catches the track -of the railroal, aloug which dashes
the iron horse, hitched to the ponderous train con
taining its hundreds of hum in being and many tons of freight. How great the change sixty-two years
have wrought!
The first settlers of Indiana were subject to priva
tions, hardships and toils to which the present in
habitants are strangers thereto. They were shut up to their own resources for the msans of living, and
the necessaries of life. The nearest mill to our home for two or three years after we came to the White Water Valley, wa Dayton or Lawrenceburg, with all theirenergy, ingenuity and skill these were few. They, were inhabitants of the wilderness. Saw mills, grist mills, dry goods and grocery stores were not in the country. Well does the writer remember when there was not a road that a wagon could run upon, nor a wagon in the country, for tba emigrant all came to the country on pack horses. Then cabins were built of unhewn logs covered with clapboards, stick and clay chimneys, with puncheon floors. I bivouaked with my mother in a camp until such a one as the above could bo constructed. Two of the cabins of the first settlers had each a window in them. The reasons were two. First, there was no glass to be obtained, there being no such a thing as that. Second, a window le!t au opening by which wild animals could enter to the dismay of the family. Wolves, bears, panthers and wild cats often prowled around (heir dwellings in the darkness of the night to the great annoyance and terror of ths family, particularly the little ones. During the day the door of the cabin was kept open to afford light, and at night through winter seasons, light was emitted from the fire-place, where huge logs were kept burning ; candles and lamps were out of tbe questions ror a few years, and at that time petroleum had not been strnck. When lamps and candles came into use, they were purely domestic in their manufacture. Candles were prepared by taking a wooden rod some ten or twelve inches long, wrapping a strip of cotton or linen cloth aronnd it, then a piece of beeswax well warmed and pressed on with the hands. The Slut, as they were called, was made and answered well the purpose of a large can-
d'e. Many are the men in old Wayne who can re
member well spending evenings with the dark-eyed
maids of the fore.it by the light of ons ol these Sluts, and happy were these nights! Lamps were prepar
ed by dividing a large turnip in the middle, scaping
out the inside quite down to the rind, then inserting a stick, say tUree inches in length, in the center, so that it would stand upright; a slip of cotton or linen
cloth was then wrapped around it, and melted lard or deer's tallow was poured in till the turnip rind was
full, then the lamp was ready for use. By tho light of these, daring the long winter evening, the young
idea was taught to shoot, or the women spun and
sewed, and the men read, when books could be ob
tained. When neither lard nor tallow could be ob
tained, then the large blazing fire supplied the needed
light. By these great fire-places many cuts of thread have been spun, many a yard of linen woven, many a
frock and pair of buckskin pantaloons made.
Usually one man in the neighborhood served the
people in the way of drawing teeth and blood-letting
There were no post offices or post routes. Letters
were conveyed by private hand. When the friends, left behind in the older portions of the country, desi
red to send a letter to those who had emigrated to In
diana, they weie forwarded by some emigrant going
further west, and addressed in something like the fol
lowing: "To Mr. A. li., Whitewater Settlement
of Friends, Indiana Territory ;" instead of being directed to a post office, letters were always directed
to some particular settlement.
In addition to all the other hardships to which the
first settlers of I ndiana were subjected to, they had to contend with the hated Indians. From the seri
ous wrongs, as they considered, done them by the
whites; wrongs they had been suffering for years,
they became sworn, inveterate foes of the pale face
' They had seen themselves driven back further and further toward the setting sun. Many of their tribes
had become extinct. Around their camp-fires and
in tneir wigwams tney naa taiKed over their grievances till overborne by a sense of wrong, they had
sworn eternal hatred and revenge against the white
people.
Though sons of the forest, born and reared in the
wild woods, they were keen, shrewd men, fnll of cun
ning, true to a friend, bnt deceitful and implacable
toward an enemy. They were, to the whites, a dan
gerous and much dreaded foe. Tbe only thing that
kept them from slaying tbe whites or carrying t hem
off as prisoners when and wherever they came acrosa
them was fear of being overpowered. The settlers
never knew when to trust them. They were always in more or less dread day and nhrht hence, it was
necessary for them to be perpetually on their guard
ana o prepared tor any emergency
in this work of preparation for attacks, the first
Settlers fortified their cabins as. well as they could.
Tbe loft, as it was called, was constructed of split
logs, so that an entering could not be made from
above.. The doors were made of split timber, from three to four inches in thickness, pinned firmly to battens,- and bang upon strong wooden hinges, running the whole width of the door. The fastenings were made by boring a large augur hole through on either side of th door, near the door cheek. Then the crotch of a limb was obtained from a forest tree, one prong of which was cut at a length of three or four inches, while the other was shaved to fit the augur hole. It was then driven in and wedged on the outside. When the door was shut a large wooden bar was dropped into the erotch. With t his the door was fastened securely. The door was of such thickness that the Indians could not split it down with their hatchets or tomahawks, and tbe bar on the inside held it so firmly that it could not be forced open. Many nights of tha early boyhood of the writer were spent pleasantly with a prayerful and sainted mother, (who has -long since left this unfriendly world and gone home ; yes home to that house not
made with hands, but which stands'in the heavens,)
in a house thus constructed. Jbssb Mhbk.

Maine Republican Victory! The Pine Tree State rolls back the
sound cf victory to the Green Mountain
State. .Last Monday week, the Republicans achieved a glorious victory, in
fact a double victory over two opponents. Chamberlain, the Republican nominee for Governor carried the State largely over Smith, the Democratic can
didate, and ilinchborne, the radical temperance candidate. The vote will stand about as follows: Chamberlain, 48,000; Smith,- 35.000, Hinchborne, 5, 000. Both Houses are largely Republican, thus insuring: a Republican Sena
tor instead of Senator Fessenden, lately
deceased. So the ball moves grandly
on.
How to Keep a Church Down.
Talk in discouraging terms about the
prospects of the congregation. This
will make people keep a good distance,
for no person wishes to connect himself
with a sinking cause.
That you may be able to talk thus,
take little or no interest in the welfare of the congregation yourself, excepting
as you can find fault with something.
Take care that your church, or lecture
room, be moderately cold and uncom
fortable. This will keep you from be
ing crowded out of your seats by stran
gers.
Place your church at the outskirts of
the town or . village. If the people love the ordinances, this will not keep them
away. When you are asked for a contribu
tion to put your church edifice in as decent repair as you keep your own pri
vate dwelling, be sure to complain that
3rou have always to be giving money. If you are a poor man, with nothing but
a farm and a few thousands at interest
it would be unreasonable to expect you
to do much. Let others see to it.
lake care to raise an opposition in
the church to something, and spend your
zeal and labor upon that, and be sure to side with members of other churches against your own. They will take you by the hand, and praise you for your zeal and piety, an 1 fie members of your own communion will become dejected and discouraged.
Humboldt Fourteenth September, j To-day the centenary of Humbolt will be celebrated. A man who, in eighty years of a wonderful, studious and serene life, traveled over the world
and described it as no other could, vhose performances bear that universal
ly which we ascribe only to men of the
greatest mind, will be honored in memory as men of science have never been
honored before. The present is hanni-
a a- - y the day wuen Galileo and Copernicus,
Goethe an 1 Seluler, Angelo and Hum
boldt, are to be "ptcferred above the
presidents and princes, for an excellent
spirit was in them." It is a day when the curiosity of a crowd a? demonstrat -ed towards a prince baars no comparison to the homage exteaded towards a real benefactor and sovereign, a thinker
and discoverer, made royal by God, a
world's crowning genius, whether its
scepter be over the heads of scholars or
the hearts of people.
We have much to say of the world's
romancis:s, our masters revels, in every season, and there is no danger that
we shall forget our poets and inspired story tellers. But the fashion is rather a new one of giving popular honors to science, and we wish to see it claim and
exact all the rejoicing it merits. Side
b3T side with Shakespeare and the bards the modern cultivated mind places the
classics of science. Goethe and Humboldt are read bv the same student. The
marvels of science are opened to us like
romances of reality, and lead the imag
ination into beautiful realms which fic
tion never traveled. Science has her
fairy tales, and her great drama, with
man and bird and beast for actors, and
the great globe itself for a scene. To
nonor iiumooiac to uay is to pay re
spect to the great victory of culture, and to testify that the world now admits
science familiarly into its holidays and
its pleasures. N. Y. Tribune.

EndofAbrams' Trial.
Indianapolis, September 19. A consid
erable audience gathered m the courtroom, yesterday morning, on the hearing of the argument on the motion for a
new trial. Mr. McDonald spoke in be
half of Hie prisoner, and Mr. Fishback
for the State. At the close of the argu
ment Judge Wilson gave his decision
denying the request, and proceeded to
pass sentence ot incarceration in the
Southern Penitentiary lor life. Abrams said he was suttering for a crime of which he was innocent, and that the evidence of that fact will yet appear. He was perfectly cool. The remarks prefatory of the sentence by the Judge were ia most excellent taste. He said if any one was in possesion of facts which would tend to show the innocence of the defendant,he had not words to express his detestation of their conduct.
