THERE is a good deal of troubln now the hearts of American Democrats who Imve no political axri to grind. Th dish of crow lixed up by the Baltimore convention is very hard to swallow. And they can't see how it is going to make hem feel better if they do gulp it down

UHATZ BROWN says that the 1'hiladel phiti delegatu were coerccd much against tlieir will, imo the nomination of GRANT Mr. BROWN'S ul.erances are as wild and foolish as those of the man BLAIR, also of St. Louis, who did so much damage JDemocratsc party as tail of the SEYMOUR ticket in 18GS.

GRATZ BROWN said in h'S Hartford speech that the people were rallying the support of "those gentlemen who were nominated at Cincinnati, believing them to be honest, true and brave." Tlwc words would have sounde 1 better from the mouth of some person other than one of the no'mine-v Charity requires tl\o world to believo that Mr. BROWN was drunk at Hartford.

CONSUL GENERAL BLILKR and

his secretary engaged in an afl'ray in Alexandria, Egypt, on Friday, with three exConfederale ollicers, (ien. LORINO, Gen. REYNOLDS and Major CAN?BKI L, now in the service of the Khrdivc. Several pistol shots were fired and the last named gentleman was wounded. Shaking hands over the bloody chasm has not vei become popular beneath the shadow of the pyramids.

MR.

TIIE press is admitted lobe more powerful than royalty in England. It is above the tli.rone, above the Lords, above the Commons. It is no longer the fourth estate of ihe realm it is the first. lVncc ARTHUR, son of the Queen cf England, has sought the aid of Ihe press "to enforce some views of his own concerning the reorganization" cf the British army.

THE Cincinnati Commercial's specials gives a discouraging report of GREELEY ar.d BROWN ratification meetings IA Ohio. Democrats may eat their crow, if compelled to, but they will not pick his bone3 in public.

DEMOCRACY ha.«n't the keenest sense of "I be eternal fitneFS of things," still it has brains enough to know that wake shouldn't follow a funeral. Hence the melancholy failure of GREELEY and BROWN ratifications.

THE "Liberal" movement at Indianaf)l:s exhibits some peculiar phases of liberality. For instance, it tries to boost itself by the wholesale forgery of signatures to a call for a GREELEY and BRCHN ratification meeting.

THERE is confirmation of the reports, re cently published,of very shabby treatment accorded to General SHERMAN at Berlin by Fupercr WILLIAM'S military chiefs From such a source, so mem an exhibition of urif-icndiinessis surprising.

LIUERAL Republicanism is looking up in Illinois.— Chicago Tribune. ccnrse it's "looking lip." Being fiat on its back, it can't conveniently look in any other direction. If it keeps "looking up" it will see stars by and by.

DISPATCHES to the Inter Ocean indicate lhat most, if not all the GREELEY ralili cation meetings thus far attempted in Jllinois have been flat failures. Evidently he two wir.gs of the possum parly haven't yet got so that they can flap in harmony'

THE first GFEELEY and BROWN ratifying to occur in this State will be attempted at Indianapolis on Thursday evening. The call has some respectable signatures artistically forged. Seven of th forgeries have already been exposed.

A CAREFUL reading of many hundreds of letters and telegrams from all parts of the country, affords convincing evidence that GREELEY will not get so many Re publican as GRANT will Democratic votes The difgust of the unterriiied is intense and incurable.

THE ablest and b"t of the original supporters of the "Liberal" movement w: the New York Evening Post. That paper now says of GREELEY'S nomina. tion at Baltimore: "It is simply the old 'Copperhead' party of the war that seeks a new lease of life through this nomina' tion."

DAVID GOODING'S righteous soul is vexed from day to day with "GRANT'S nepotism." But when GOODING was Marshal of Ihe District of Columbia under ANDY JOHNSON, he had three of h:s brothers appointed to office in Wellington, one as Postmaster at Greenfield, and two brothers in-law as internal revenue officers in Hancock county.

THE National Republican Committee has information that moneyed men among the eastern Democais are not re sponding promptly to the calls of GREELEY committees, and that ihe reasons ai signed are lhat Mr. GREELEY'S financial theories are too distasteful, and fear exists that such changes as GREELEY would be obliged to make in starting his administration would hardly be such as lo promote the business interests of the country

FROM its exalted position of top-rail independent journalism the Cincin nati Commercial grumblingly suggests, lhat if it be true that the peculiar style of GRATZ BROWN'S New Haven speech is due to the fact that he spoke without premeditation, when he is in the habit of reducing his remarks to writing, it would be safe to urge him not to appear in public without h:s usual couise of premeditation and preparation

THE Sentinel, a few days ago, puh ished a statement that Mr. DE PAL had lnot declined the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor. The statement was incorrect. Mr. DEPALVV published a card in the Indianapolis Journal on Saturday in which occurred this para graph:

In conclusion allow me Fpnce lo say that for eighteen months I have written often and said to thousands of persons that I was not,nor would I be a candidate for Governor, nor would I accept a nom inntion, for that or any any other political position. Yet in the face of these declarations, I was without my knowledge or consent, nominated for Lieutenant, Gov ernor. While for a proper re»=on, I agreed not to ptiUi.h my declination until this day, 1 have declared constantly and unwaveringly that I would not accept.

MR. GREELEY once said, in that disingenuous way which made him so charming, that the chief articles of Depuocralic faith were "to love rum and hate negroes." The latter part of Mr. GREELEY'S pointed charge is certainly true. And in view of ibis fact, the action of the Baltimore Convention was a great step forward. It is pleasant to see Democrats come over to the right side on the negro question after having eursed and abused Republicans so vigorously for being champions of ihe black people. Democratic leaders and newspapers are saying very sweet things now to the colored people, with the idea of securing their voles. A delegation even called on Mr.Su.MNER, andbegg to bring to them the black vote. But ihe indications are that negro voters are all for GRANT. This reminds one of the attitude of the late Confederacy on the question of aiming the negroes. At first the rebel government was so hostile as to threaten execution of negroes captured with arms in their hands. All Ihe bltcks taken prisoner were really put into slavery. But after a time the rebel rulers found that nesi"0 soldiers were very serviceable to the North. In the very last gr«p of the rebellion they determined to impress the blacks into their own army. But it was too late. The rebels surrendered the whole principle that arming negroes was wrong, but they made nothing by the change. So the frantic effort of Democrats to get negro votes will fail. These leaders will have all the humiliation of having surrendered a principle with the poor satisfaction of making no profit by the operation/ And when they fail in the profits they lose all. No one contends that these managers, in adopting Republican principles, did so bccause they were in love with them, or did so for any other motive than that it seemed to open a way to ride into power,

TNE Cincinnati Commercial would get clear off the fence on the GREELEY side, if GRATZ BROWN were not there.

A RICHMOND, Va, letter states that already more than fifty prominent members of the Democratic party in that Stale have declared their willingness to canvass for GRANT and WILSOK, while not a single Republican of any prominence, influence or respectability has gone over to GREELEY, except FRANKLIN STEARNS, of Richmond, and LEWIS MCKENZIE, of Alexandria.

JUDGINO the CARL ScnuRZ of to-day by the CARL SCHULZ of four years ago, it is fair to conclude that he is holding back his campaign oratory for a riae. An arrangement by which he could get paid tEree times—by national, State and local committees—for each effort, would doubtless loose his lingual apparatus. CARL doesn't love crow, but a triple consideration would set him to rav'n' like mad!

''GRANT'S nepotism" afflicts GEORGE W. JULIAN painfully. And yet it appears from a statement in the Indianapolis Journal that while Mr. JULIAN represented the old Fifth District in Congress, out of about two hundred offices at his disppsal he kept seven relatives in office part of the time and five all the time. The Journal concludes that this i9 foKy timej as many in proportion PS any one has ever charged GRANT with appointing of his relative".

SMUT, as an element of campaign literature, is

comiDg

to the front with dis

gusting and disgraceful prominence. Leading journals, on bolh sides, perpetrate jokes, in prominent editorials, that border on the obscene. An editor who will publish, editorially, that which he would net dare to say in presence of ladies and gentlemen, is simply a vulgar blackguard. His paper should be excluded from the houses of reputable citizens, as he would be debarred the society of the better classes were he to utter orally the vile jokes that he writes and prints.

SUMNER still halls between intense hatred of GRANT and life-long devotion to the negro. Ardently desiring lo beat the former, he yet hesitates to strike him through he latter. He sees, as does every other man possessing a moderate supply of common sense, that the elec tion of GREELEY means the restoration to power of the negro-hating, equal-rights-detesting Democracy. Under these cir cumstances Mr. SUMNER finds himself in a quandary. And he will soon be com pel led to choose between the support (f GRANT, and the abandonment of his lifework. To this complexion h:s case must speedily come.

THE very slight effect produced on the political status of the colored people by Mr. SUMNER'S speeches, i* a source of profound astonishment to that illustriors Senator. He will learn, in time, that men Of his type are powerful only when they are right.

A W?nNGTON .ORRF5POIiDEST re ports that both Republican and Democratic committees have begun earnest work, the field of the operations of each being North Carol na. The members of the GREELEY committee do not,in private, express much confidence, and the character of their complaints indicate this lack very clearly. They are much dissatiffied with their want of success in raising money, and charge that "GRANT men not only have

officrs

have comparatively little difficulty raising means." They admit that they cannot produce the general effects they had hoped upon the negroes by the use of SCMNEB'S speech, since so small a proportion can read. They have little hope of producing any marked change in the colored vote, unless they induce Mr, SCMNER to go South in person,

RAISING THE DEVIL

AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF PETER CA RTW RIGHT. It was a dark and tempestuous night, a night to fill the soul with fright the lightning flashed, the wild beasts squeal* ed, when a poor preacher of the gospel wended his way through the dismal intricacies Of a Western forest, many years

ago. The poor man felt anything but com fortable, for he was wet through to the skin, and almost tired to death. He had been tramping about since morning, besides he had lost his way, to the reader can imagine what state of mind he was in and also appreciate the sudden transition from despair to hope which he experienced on seeing the glimmer of light ahead. He quickened his (lagging footsteps and soon came up to the light which issued from the only window of a solitary log cabin in the forest.

Remembering the scriptural injunction, "Knock, and it shall be opened unto you," he did

so,

but without any response. He

rapped again louder than before, and this time a gruff female voice asked: "Who's there?" "It is I," was the indefinite reply of the raic-soaked parson. "Well, who are yon and what do you want?" asked the voice gruffer than before. "A po ar benighted preacher of the Go--pel WIIO has lost his way, and who wishes to rtay here all night," answered the preacher in a dolorous voice. "Well stay there—I dont see what's to hinder you." "But I am almost starved, and I will pay you liberally for some supper," he responded, his teeth chattering with cold, and not in the least appreciating the joke.

The words "liberally pay" acted like a charm, and after a few momenta of delay, caused by the unfastening of the door, it wa3 opened and our pastor entered.

He found himself in a rough apartment with a

large

fireplace at one end, on which

a sreat log was blazing a rough deal table and three chairs, besides a box filled with dry flax, comprised the furniture.

But all minor deficiencies seemed to be made up by the landlady of the house, for she was fully six feet in height, and weighed nigh unto three hundred pounds.

After having placed some food on the table she turned to the parson, who stood shivering before tlje fire, making futile attempts to dry himself, alternately turning one side and then the other lo the fire. "Now, I want you to eat this grub as quick as you know, and then tramp, for ii is utterly impossible for me to keep you here over sight." "But, my good woman," said the parson anxiously, "I shall perish in this inclement weather. I have been wandering in this fearful Btorin since morning, and if you have any compassion or pity at all you will try and give me some place where I can be sheltered from this storm for the night and he offered her a five dollar bill. "Well," said the woman, avariciously clutching the money, "if you think you can stay in the garret maybe you can stay but hurry up, for I expect my husband home every minute, and it's as mucfi as your life is worth if he should catch you here, for he's a perfect devil incarnate would think no more of murdering you than he would of shooting a grizzly bear."

The woman roduced a small ladder as she spoke, and bade the parson get up in the garret.

There was a small "drop," or trap door in the ceiling which raised of its own accord on the parson's head pressing it upward, and not without some difficulty he managed to squeeze himself through the aperture. Afier he was up the woman told him to shut the trap and not to make any noise, for his life, and then,

ladder

away, the preacher was

ieft to his own reflections. Wet and uncomfortable as he was, his fatigue was such that he had almost fallen asleep when he was disturbed by some one knocking at the door.

Being somewhat curious to know what kind of a looking man his unknown host was, he rose and peered through a small crack in the floor in the room underneath. He saw the woman open the dooi cautiously, and after admitting a short thickset man in a heavy cloak, lock it again.

From the mysterious actions and whisperings lhat ensued, our parson rightly concluded that the person who had just entered was not the woman's husband, but her paramour, who had taken advantage of her husband's absence to pay her a nocturnal visit. Afier whispering together for a while, the woman went to ihe cupboard and produced a bottle of whisky and a plate of ham and bread, which she set on the table, and the twain were soon engaged in a loving repast. While the parson was watching the guilty couple, there came a thundering knock at the door, whfch caused I hem both to jump to their feet with the greatest consternation. Without a moment's loss of time the woman ran to the box of flax and emptied it upon the floor. Then she bade the man, who was almost scared to death lo get into the box, which he was only too glad to do, and when he was in she rapidly covered him with the flax. The woman then ran to the door and unbolted it, all the time rubbing her eyes as if just awaking out of sleep. "I was asleep and didn't hear you be* fore," whimpered the woman. "And don't, for God's sake, curse so much, for there is a Methodist minister up in the garret 1" "Who cares for a Methodist minister, I'd like lo know? But I'll soon have him out ol his hole. Here, you old canting hypocrite, come out of this and show yourself, or I'll make you," he exclaimed, with many imprecations, as, he set the ladder before the trap-door. The poor parson, almost dead with fright, slowly descended the ladder, looking as white as a ghost, for, from the ruffian's manner, he expected he would be a ghost soon. "Don't hurt the poor man. See how sickly he looks!" exclaimed the woman, pitying the poor creature's distress. "You shut up and mind your own business, or it will be worse for you," was the gracious reply of her lord then turning to the trembling parson, he asked: "Are you a Methodist minister, and do you believe in hell and the devil?"

The parson replied in the affirmative. "Well, by the E.ernal I don't and if you believe in the devil yon'll either have to make him appear, or I'll cut your lying throat and make you appear before him!'' and he drew hi« bowie knife in a threading manner. The poor preacher was in anything but an enviable situation, and thoughts of another world began to fill his mind with anxious forebodings for it is a remarkable f*ct that however much clergymen may preach and talk of the future world, they prefer to have others go and enjoy it. This may be self-abnega-tion or pure selfishness Heaven knows. "Are you most ready?" asked ihe ruffian raising his knife as he saw the other hesitated. "I'll gi*e you just three minutes, and if the devil is not here you'll be with the devil." "My friend," said the pastor, into whose head a brilliant idea had popped, "lhat there is a hell is a well established fact, as I can prove by hundreds of writers, and that the devil exists allows of no contradiction and that I have the power to make him appear is also true but dreadful to you will be the consequences if he does. Better for yon had vou never been born than to see 8atan face to face in tie wicked state in which yon are in!" "D—n you, stop yonr preaching, and call the old boy!

up: •The parson went to the fireplifos'and took a brand, which he applied to the box of flax. It blazed up almost like gunpowder, and the unearthly yell that issued from the poor devil in the box was trulv appalling.

With an acrobatic power, of the possesion of which he was himself unaware, he leaped out of the box, covered from head to foot with burning flax. With roars and howls of agony he made straight for the door, but he was not so quick as the owner of the premises, for with one look of terror at the burning figure, he fled out of the house, closely followed by his "Satanic Majesty."

When they were bolh gone the parson gave his hostess a short, but eflectiye lecture on connubial duties, after which he seated himself comfortably before the fire.

When the woman's husband relumed, he treated the parson with the greatest respect, fully convinced that he had the power to raise the devil at will.

THE Greeleyiles say they are determined that the Congressional Convention at Spencer shall indorse the Greely aad Brown Presidential ticket Journal.

JUPITER.

THE MINIATURE 8UN.

Heat is the only form of force which could account for the formation of the enormous manes of cloud suspended id the Atmosphere of Jupiter. And it seems difficult to conceive that the cloads coald be maintained at a great height above the real surface of the planet unless that surface were intensely hot—as hot, perhaps, as red hot iron. Lf we supposed this to be the case, we should find at once an explanation of the ruddy aspect of the dark belts. Nor would the change of the great equatorial belt from white to red imply more than that, owing to some unknown cause, clouds had not formed during the Irst two years over the planet's equatorial zone, or, having formed, had been dispersed in some way. We need not even imagine a complete dispersion, since the best telescopes, and notably Mr. Buckingham's fine twenty-one inch refractor, have shown always a multitude of minute, cloud-like objects over the ruddy equatorial cone.

But the idea of a red-hot planet, or of a planet partially red-hot, will appear at a lirst view too bizarre to be entertained even for a moment. We have been so accustomed to regard Jupiter and Saturn as other worlds, that the mind is disposed to reject the conception that they can be so intensely heated as to be ntterly unfit to be the abode of living creatures.

This unwillingness to accept startling ideas is not to be altogether reprehended, since it prevents the mind from lormiag rash and baseless speculations. Yet we must not suffer this mental habitude, excellent though it may be in its proper place, to interfere with the admission of conclusions which seem based on trustworthy evidence. Let us then inquire whether the startling hypothesis to which we have been led by the study of observed facts may not be found to be in agreement with other facts not yet considered.

It will be obvious that if the real globe of Jupiter is thus intensely heated, a portion of the planet's light must be inherent. Therefore we might expect that the planet would shine somewhat more brightly than a globe of equal size and similarly placed, shining merely by reflecting the sun's light. Now two series of good observations have been made upon the luminiosty of Jupiter. One was made by the late Prof. Bond, of America, the other by Dr. Zoller, of Germany. Accoiding lo the former, Jupiter shines more brightly than he would if he reflected the whole of .the light falling upon him! According to the latter and more trustworthy series, Jupiter does not indeed shine quite so brighly as Professor Bond supposed, but the planet shines three times as brightly as a globe of equal size would shine, if similarly placed, but constituted like Mars, and four times as brightly as such a globe would shine_ if constituted like our moon. Jupiter shines in fact very nearly as brightly though he were constituted like one of our terrestrial clouds!

And, after all, let us remember that Ihe theory that Jupiter is an intensely heated globe—a theory to which we have been led by the consideration of many observed facts and which in its torn suggests very satisfactory explanations of other observed facts—would merely show that, as Jupiter and Saturn hold an intermediate position between the sun and the minor planets in respect of size, so those giant orbs hold a corresponding position in respect to inherent heat. Roughlyspeaking, the earth is 8,000 miles, the gun 840,000 miles in diameter, and Jupi ter. with his §2,000 miles, comes midway between these orbs. Now, the sun is at a white heat, and the earth gives out only what is called obscure heat, and if Jupiter's globe is at a red heat, he again comes midway between the sun and the earth.

We should be led by the theory here maintained to regard the major planets which travel outside the zone of asteroids as in a sense secondary suns. So viewed, they could not be regarded as orbs fit for the support ol living creatures. Yet, as each of them is a centre of a scheme of dependent worlds, of dimensions large enough to_ supply room for many millions of living creatures, we should not merely find a raison d'etre for the outer planets, but we would be better able to explain their purpose in the scheme of creation than on and theory heretofore put forward respecting Ihem. Jupiter as an abode of life is a source of wonder and perplexity, and his satellites seem scarcely to serve any useful purpose. He appears as a bleak and desolate dwelling-place, and they together supply him with scarcely a twentieth part of the light which we receive from our moon at full. But regarding Jupiter as a miniature sun, not indeed possessing any large degree of inherent lustre, but emitting a considerable quantity of heat, we recognize in him the fitting ruler of a scheme of subordinate orbc, whose inhabitants would require the heat which he affords to eke out tb« small supply which they receive directly from the sun.—The Cornhill Magazine.

"In peace, Mr. Greeley does propose to have what he calls universal suflrage, and universal amnesty, both of them containing the seeds of death to any Federal system."—Commoner.

The Federal system is played out. It meant simply the systematic exaggeration of the prejudices and sentiments of provincialism. The talk of the day about the dangers of centralization is simply worthless. Centralization has not hurt anybody. The Damocracv are talking about it a good dea% They must have something to talk about, and having given up slavery and rebellion, and the persecution of negroes, and greenbackery, we do not see an objection to their talkativeness in favor of local self government. That is something we are all in favor of. Only remember, that-the United States constitute a .Nation, and that the fcolery that the phrase "Fedeial system" once di«guised is no l.n^er tolerable.—Uin. C.mmerciaL =.

CONDITION OF IRELAND. Probably no country in Europe has advanced so rapidly in the last ten years as Ireland, and this is seen in the tone of general cheerfuln -"s in the dwellings, drrss, and general condition of the people. Industrial habits have sprung up, the spirit of progr in the industries is more active than at any time in the cen« tury there has been an increase of material comfort for the poor, and the practice of early marriage has beeto checked. Ireland is not rich compared wilh England, or even Scotland, but its poverty consists in the absence of great Wealth rather than in the presence of great misery. While paupers in England are as one to twenty, and in Scotland one to twenty-three, they are in Ireland only as one to seventy-four.

Nor are the Irish ignorant. The system of national education is bearing fruit, and the level of knowledge is quite as high as it is in England. Indeed, Mr. Lecky thinks that one of the most alarming features of disloyalty is its close connection wilh education. Cheap publications go everywhere. There hrs been a marked decline in out-of-door sports, fairs, and other boisterous gatherings, a great change in public amusements, those who once sought their pleasure in the excitements of the fair and market, i.ow gaiber in groups at the public houses and listen to the reading of Fenian newspapers. Mr. Thackeray would now find less of those ragged and devil may-care gronps of independent beggars, who fooled it lightly on the tnrf to the cry of a cracked violin and the encouragement of "step out, Miss Judy."

The local government of Ireland presents a marked contrast to the political condition of the country. Public institutions are nowhere better managed the police and the poor-law administration are very efficient and this is shown by the decrease in pauperism. By a wise enforcement of the law, for vaccination, Ireland has escapcd the small-pox epidemic of England. In the matter of prison reform Ireland leads the world, and England is only meeting with any success in ihe treatment of criminals as •he adopts the Irish methods. The reformatory system established in Ireland reforms the greater portion of convic's, and it has had a marked influence in the diminution of crime and the security of life *nd property.^

JMSASTROUS FIRE.

SEVERAL PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH!

A SON SACRIFICES HIS LIFE IN ATTEMPTING TO RESCUE HIS MOTHER!

DETROIT, MICH., July 13.—A disastrous tire occurred at Alpena, Mich., last night. Losses aggregate a $150,000.

No mills or lumber destroyed. It is rumored thnt several lives are lost. The following were among those burned Sherman House, Burnett House, Huron House, Union Hotel, Eagle Hotel, Goodrich's jewelry store, Dan & Goodenow's cent store, Potter Bro.'s hardware store, C. Whitney's drug store, A. Anpach's dry goods store, A. Power ACo's rocery store, A hers' furniture store, Jounty Clerk's office, Albert Hack's residence and office, eeveral boarding houses and residences.

LATER.

DETROIT, MICH., July 13.—Four men perished in the Alpena fire, and two more were injured beyond recovery. The total amount of insurance is about $100,000.

STILL LATER

DETROIT, July 13.—Last night's fire at Alpena, was one of the most disastrous that ever visited a small town in the State. Being entirely a lumber manufacturing place, and the buil iings all frame, and allhough the town possesses a steamer, all efforts to stay the progress of the flames were unavailing until three and a half blocks of the main

business

portion

of the town were burned. Mrs. West perished in front of her millinery store. She could not be rescued. Nothing bui her bones were found. George, her son, in endeaving to save his mother was so badly burned that he died to-day. 'Ihe remains of two others, supposed to be men, were found in the ruins. To day a sailor named Kelly, and G. R. Westly, engineer of Barlow's mill were badlv injured. Doubts are .entertained of Westly's recovery. Losses so far as computed are $130,000. Insurance $70,000.

^5 STOKES' TRIAL.

NEW YORK, July 13.—Judge Ingraham, in his charge to the jury, in Stokes case to-day reviewed the evidence for prosecution and defense, and concluded as follows: If you believe when the prisoner fired and inflicted a mortal wound, he feared great bodily harm or danger to his life, and that there was danger of it being accomplished, he was justified in his act, and you will find accordingly. If you do not believe the act was justifiable, and that it was done in a heat of passion, and without any previous intent to kill, or that the

This result is highly significient. If Ju piter showed no belts, and shone^with pure white color, we could explain it at once by Bimply regarding Jupiter as wholly cloud-covered or snow-covered, for snow and cloud shine with nearly equal lustre when similarly illuminated. But the great dark baits which occupy so large a proportion of the planet's disc altogether negative this supposition. We seem compelled to believe that some considerable portion of the planet's lustre is inherent.

risoner might have avoided the conflict retreating from the danger, you will find him guilty of manslaughter in the third degree. If you believe the wound inflicted was not mortal, and that it was the treatment which caused death, then you must acquit him, but if you find he was not justified before shooting, he having a premeditated design to take life, whether such design was formed before or after arriving at the hotel, and that the wound so given caused the death of deceased, then you will find the prisoner guilty of murder in the first degree.

The jury retired at 2:30 p. m., and returned at 5 p. m., to ask for ail Fisk's clothes, which request was granted. At 7 p. m., they were sent for, and there being no prospect of their agreeing, the court took a recess until 10:30 to-morrow morning. It is understood that they stand eight for murder in the first degree, and foyr for manslaughter, third degree

SUNDAY, July 14.—This,Sunday morning, at 11 o'clock, Edward S. Stokes was brought into court. Judge Ingraham took his place on the bench, and the jnry, who had been locked up all night, weie sent for. The court was almost as crowded as any week day during the trial. The prisoner looked pretty much as usual no evidence of his having passed a sleepless night,. The jury, on the contrary all looked pale and fatigued.

Judge Ingraham, addressing the jury, said: I understand, gentlemen, you have not agreed.

Foreman—No, sir there is no possibility that we ctcn. Judge Ingraham—I hardly feel at liberty to discharge you, yet the case occupied nearly three weeks on trial and was very fully tried, and the time you have had for consideration has not been very long. I can not see any way of discharg ing you now.

Foreman—We stand just the same as at first. Judge—I do not want to know anything about your division. I will arrange so that you can send for me at any time, and the counsel will be sent for.

The jury, to their great disappointment, were then locked up again. The jury are said to stand eight for conviction and four for acquittal.

NEW YORK, July 15.—The Stokes jury did not retire to rest until this morning. One repert says they stand nine for murder, one for manslaughter and two for acquittal. Another says lhat eight are for acquittal, two for_ manslaughter, and two for murder in the lirst degree. No hopes of agreement.

LATER —JURY DISCHARGED. There was an immense concourse at the court home this morning awaiting the jury in the Stokes case. The prisoner and his counsel looked rather cheerfulWhen the jury entered, the foreman announced that they could come lo no agreement whatever. The judge thereupon discharged them. Stokes was taken back to the Tombs.

CHAPPAQUA.

A PICNIC AT GREELEY'S "HUMBLE FARMER HOME." CHAPPAIJUA, N. Y., July 13.—The assemblage of the Democratic committee and others on the

farm

of Horace Greeley

to-day was merely a social gathering or picnic. Greeley conducted the various delegates over hts farm in the forenoon, and described all its peculiarities. A bountiful dinner was served at 1 o'clock, after which Greeley addressed a meeting consisting of about 500 people. He said it was a social gathering, having no other purpose than congregating for pleasure. They were friends from home, from far and near, and he wished they would frequently visit him at his farm.

Senator Gwinn made a short speech, in which he eulogized the future President, and strongly advocated a close and everlasting alliance between Democrats and Liberal Republicans as the only means of salvation for ihe country.

Judge Reagan, of Texas, was the next speaker. He dwelt at some length on the honestv of Greeley, and in bitter language denounced Mr. (Jrant, whom he characterized as dishonest and corrupt, and called on every man from Maine lo Texas to rally round Greeley, who was honest, straightforward, and more than competent to govern ibis great country.

Three cheers were then given for Horace Greeley, the Democracy and Liberal Republicans. Neither Mr. Doolittle nor Mr. Schell were present, and the affair, from beginning to end, was exceedingly quiet. Not one-half the members of the Baltimore committee were present. Several prominent New Yorkers attended, together with a good many Southern delegates, who were warm in their expressions as lo supporting Greeley in ihe coming campaign, and promising large majorities in Southern States.

FIRE IN THE NORTHERN PENITENTIARY.

MICHIGAN CITY, IND., July 13.—The west shop, 200 feet by 40 feet, of the Northern Indiana prison has just burned. The fire is supposed to have originated from sparks from the chimney lodging in the gutter and communicating with the roof. This was the largest shop of the prison, working about 100 men, and the loss will seriously impair the prosperity of the prison contractors occupying the building. Loss to State is about $12,000. The State haa no insurance. Ford, Johnson & Co., are insured for $17,000. The Warden has called a meeting of the Board of Directors for Monday, July 15th, to take steps for rebuilding at once. None of the prisoners escaped. People of the city are giving evary asxistance possible.

vl? EVAY DEFALCATION.

-rf't

BOSTON, July 15.—Hiram A. Daniels, late treasurer, of the Wilton manufacturing company, whose mills at East Wilton, New Hampshire, were recently destroyed by fire, is alleged to be a defaulter to the amount of $40,000. By his defalcation, persons who have trusted him with their property, among whom are widows and orphans, are snfferers Itfhat extent is not publicly known.

COLUMBUS.

Miff KILLED.

CoLUIBBtJS, O., July 14.—John Riche a brakeman on the Short Line Railroad lay down to rest on the railroad track iwar this city, yesterday, to await the return of part of his train to be coupled, and when he awoke, it was to find the train passing over his legs, close to his hips. The first intimation the engineer had that anything was wrong was Riche's screams of agony. Riche died at his home in this city to-day.

FIZZLE.

The Greeley ratification meeting held at the State House last night, was a failure as far as the crowd was concerned. Not more than 500 persons were present, according to Democratic count.

DOUBLE MURDER IN INDIANA.

LOUISVILLE, July 16.—A week ago, Thomas Knowland, of Ilenryville, Indi ana, waa assaulted by his nephew, Samuel Knowland, on account of an old grudge. Yesterday evening the parties met to ar~ range the quarrel, when Thomas drew a pistol and shot Samuel in the abdomen. Samuel emptied his revolver at Thomas, killing him instantly. Great excitement exists in the neighborhood over the affair, both being well known and respected. Samuel's wounds are mortal.

MURDERS IN TENNESSEE.

MEMPHIS, July 16.—Jerry Woods and Fred Laller had a difficulty on ihe Raleigh road, just outside the city, last night, during which Woods stabbed Raller, inflicting a wound from which he died. Woods escaped.

On last Sunday Maj. W. II. Lockett, an engineer on the Ripley Railroad, was stabbed and kille«~st Middleton, Tenn., by conductor McKnight of the Mississippi Central Railroad, who fled afterwards, and is still at large.

TWEEDS'TRIAL.

ALBANY, N. July 16.—The trial of Tweed commenced to day in ihe Supreme Court, general term. Defendant's counsel are Messrs. David Dudley, Field, Stoughton, Burrill, Reynolds and Barllett, John Graham and Root. For the prosecution are O'Conner, Tilden and Peckham. A motion was made by the defence that the court enter judgment for a nominal sum under which the case might be taken to the Court of Appeals. O'Conner opposed the motion, believing it his duty to press the case without listening to any proposition from the defence. The defence claimed the right to be paid, whereupon the court decided to hear arguments in Tweed and Connolly's cases together, and Sloughton made the opening speech for the defence.

The argument, as when the case was previously up, was against the right of the State to bring suit. Connolly's case was argued for the defense at length on the same grounds.

After further argument of Tweed's case by O'Connor, the court adjourned till to-morrow, wilh the understanding lhat the discussion will then be concluded.

"LEARNED PROFESSIONS."

I:Y

W. HOLMES.

The lawyers are a picked lot, "first scholars," and the like, but their business is as unsympathetic as Jack Ketch's, There is nothing humanizing in their relations with their fellow creatures. They go for the side that retains them. They defend ihe man they know to be a rogue, and not very rarely throw suspicion on the man they know to be innccent. Mind yon, I sm not finding fault with them every side of a case has a right to the best statement it admits of but I say it does not tend to make them sympathetic. Suppose in a case of Fever vs. Patient, the doctor should side with either partyaccording to whether the old miser cr his expectant heir was his employer. Suppose the minister should side with the Lord or the devil, according to Ihe salary offered and other incidental advantages, where the soul of a sinner was in question. You can see what a piece of work it would make of their sympathies. But ihe lawyers are quicker willed th.in either of the other professions, »nd ab'er men generally. They arc good-naliired, or, if they quarrel, their quarrels are above board. I don't think iliey ate as accomplished as the ministers, but they have a way of cramming with special knowledge for a_ case which leaves a certain shallow sediment of intelligence in their memories about a good many things. They are apt to talk law in mixed company, and they have a way of looking lound when they make a point, as if they were addressing a jury, that is mighty aggravating, as I once had occasion to see when one of 'em, and a pretly famous one, put me on the witness stand at a dinner-party once.

The ministers come next in point of talent. They are far more curious and widely interested outside of their own calling than either of the other professions. I like to talk with'em. They are interesting men, full of good feeling, hard workers, always foremost in good deed*, and, on the whole, the most efficient civilizing class, working downward from knowledge lo ignorance, lhar is—now and then upward, alio—lhat we have. The trouble is that so many of them work in harness, and it is pretty wire to chafe somewhere. They loo often assume principles which would cripple our instincts and reason and give us a crutch of doctrine I have talked wilh a great many of 'em of all sorts of belief, and I don't think they have fixed everything in iheir own minds, or are as dogmatic in their habits of thought as one wo'ild think lo hesr 'em lay down the law in the pulpit. They used to lead ihe intelligence of their paiishes now they do pretty well if they keep up with it, and ihey are very apt to lag behind itThen they must have a colleague. The old minister thinks he can hold to his old course, sailing right into ihe wind's eye of human nature, as straight as that famous old skipper John Bunyan, the young minister falls off' three or four points and catches the breeze that left the old man's sails shivering. By and by the congregation will get ahead of him, and then it must have another new skipper. The priest holds his own pretty well the minister is coming down every generation nearer and nearer to the common level of the useful citizen—no oracle at all, bat a man of more than average moral instinct, who, if he knows anything, knows how little he knows. The ministers are good talkers, only the struggle between nature and geace makes some of 'em a little awkward occasionally. The women do their best to spoil 'em, as they do the poels you find it very pleasant to be spoiled, no doubt, BO do they. Now and then one of them goes over the dam no wonder, they're always in the rapids.

By this time our three ladies had their faces all turned toward the speaker, like the weathei-cocks in a northeaster, and I thought it best to switch off the talk on to another rail. "Hew about ihe doctors?" I said,. "Their's is the least learned of the professions, in this country at least- They have not half the general culture of the lawyers, nor a quarter of that of ihe ministers. I rattier think, though, they are more agreeable lo the common run of people than the men with black ooats or the men with green bags- People can swear before 'em if they want to and they can't very well before ministers. I don't care whether ihey want to swear or not, I hey don't want to be on their good behavior. Besides the minister has a little smack of the sexton about him he comes when people are in extremis, but they don't send for him every time they make a slight moral slip—tell a lie for instance, or smuggle a silk dress through the Customhouse but they call in a doctor when a ohild is cutting a tooth or gets a splinter in its finger. So it doesn't mean much to send for him, only a pleasant chat about the news of the day for putting the baby to rights doesn't take long. Besides, everybody doesn't like to talk about the next world people are modest in their desires, and find this world

ihey deserve but everybody likes to talk physic. Everybody loves to hear of strange cases people are eager to tell the doctor of the wonderful cures they have heard of they want to know what is the matter with somebody or other who is said to be suffering from "a complication of diseases and above all, to get a hard name, Greek or Latin,

which sounds altogether too commonplace in plain English. If you will only call a headache a Cephalalgia, it acquires dignity at once, and the patient becomes rather proud of it. So I think doctors are most generally .welcqj
