Breed within the poet s Wraia ?
Ka.v. a mouth of such completeness,
Eves of such bewitching fleme,
Girl so garnered round with sweetness
Never did a poet frAme.
Vampires, basilisks chimwras,
DrAgons, monsters, all the dire
Creatures of the fable eras.
Quicken in the poet's fire.
But thyself, so artful artless,
Thv sweet face, thy tender eyes,
With'their looks so fond, so heartless,
Never poet could devise. [Heine.

Hweet little runaway rover
Where have you wandered to-day f
Search in the wheat and the clover—
Look in the billowy hay!
Left all alone is your dolly ;
Playmates are shouting your name ;
Kitty is quite melancholy,
Towser is somewhat the same !
Say, are you watching the cricket ?
Watching the clambering bee ?
Though in the morning von pick it
Never bud fairer than she !
Have yon a nock nice aud sunny.
Beep in the grass aud the fern ?
Telling a story so funny.
None but the grasshoppers learn ?
Ah’, hero's the print of a slipper,
Leading down into the dell;
Know it, as well a- a skipper.
Homeward hound, harbor can tell
Peep* there you are little gypsy,
Thera *n the bloom all alone !
Oh the sweet kiss on your lip—see'
Hee! how i'll steal it, my own
THE LATTER PIECE.
BY PAUL H, HAVRE.
We have passed the noonday summit,
We have left the noonday heat,
And down the hillside slowly
Descend onr weary feet.
Yet the evening airs are balmy,
Aud the evening shadows sweet.
Our hummer’s latest roses
Lay withered long ago;
And even the Dowers of Autumn
Scarce keep their mellowed glow.
Yet a peaceful season woos us
Ere the time of storms and snow,
Like lire tender twilight weather
When the toil of day is done,
And we feel the bliss of quiet
Our constant hearts have won
When the ves:cr planet blushes,
Kissed by the dying ami.
Bo fails that tranquil season,
I.'ew-like, on soul and sight,
Faith's silvery star rise blended
With memory’s sunset, light,
Wherein life pauses softly
Along the verge of night.
st LIKE A LITTLE CHILI*.”
My child is lying on my knee,
The signs of hoavon she reads;
My face is all the heaven she sees,
Is all the heaven she needs.
And she is well, yea, bathed in bliss,
If heaven is in my fac t;
Behind it is ail tenderness
And truthfulness and grace.
I mean her well so earnestly.
Unchanged iu changing mood,
My life would go without a sigh
To bring lior something good.
1 also am a child, and I
Am ignorant and weak,
I gazed upon the starry sky,
And then I mast not speak;
For all behind the starry sky,
Behind the world so broad,
Behind men’s hearts and souls doth lie
The Infinite of God.
Aye, true to her, though troubled sore,
I cannot choose but be;
Tliou who art poaco forevermore
Art very true to me.
If I am low and sinful, bring
More love whore need is rife;
Thou knowest what an awful thing
It is to be a life.
Hast Thou not wisdom to enwrap
My waywardness about,
In doubting safety on the lap
Of love that knows no doubt ?
Lo ! Lord, I sit in thy wide space,
My child upon my knee;
She looketh up into my face,
And I look up to Thee.

GERMAN EMIGRATION.
The Fever swill It tilling In I lie Fiilherlninl—
Causes lor I lie Oesli-e lo Leave Home—
Over One .Million Nlrnitg .Men Added lo the
I'opulnllon of the Culled Slates Within
Twenty-seven Years.
I/Yowl the Pall Mall Gazette, July 30. J
Some interesting information on the sub
ject of German emigration is given in a re
port by Vice-Consul Kruge, just issued.
It appears by otticial statistics that the num
ber of Germans who emigrated to the
United States, from 1840 to 1870, both years
Inclusive, was 3,085,430, Emigration from
Germany, particularly to the United Slates,
increasing steadily after the memorable
year 1848, and assumed very large propor
tions immediately after the chances of a
war between Austria and Prussia in 1853
and 1853. The largest number of emigrants
of any year left the Summer of 1854, or
after the declaration of the Crimean war—
the United States alone receiving 315.009
German immigrants in that year. There ap- j
pears a considerable falling off from 1858 1
to 1804, but already in 1805, when a proba
bility of a war between Austria and Prussia
became more and mote visible, tlie number
of emigrants began to increase very much.
The years from 1800 to 1870, most likely in
consequence of the suspicious relations be
tween France and the North German Con
federation. which ultimately brought on the
war in 1870, gives very large figures. Even
tlie year of 1870 lias the Urge number of
5)1,7i9 emigrants. ‘‘Strange to witness,”
says Consul Kruge. ‘‘after the close of the
Franco-German war, when the German
Empire had been created, and prosperity
seemed to have come over Germany beyond
any expectation, when wages had been
almost doubted, and when, in fact, every
thing looking in tlie brightest colors, a com
plete emigration fever was reigning in all
j*jrts of Germany; and the years 1871, 1873,
1875> shows an almost alarming tendency to
quit the Fatherland. This movement would
no doubt have continued but for the natural
cheek it received through the financial and
commercial crisis in the United States.
There are. however, at present again un
questionable signs lhat a very large emi
grating element is slumbering in Germany,
stimulated by political aad economical em
broilments, which will break forth as soon
as sufficient hope of inducements offer
themselves in transatlantic countries in the
eves of the discontented and desponding
Germans. The general political aspect and
the decline of the German commerce and
industry at the present period are, observes
Consul Kruge, such that an emigration on
a large scale must be the natural conse
quence of the ruling state of affairs. Among
other illustrations of the cause of a desire
on the part of the Gentians to leave their
native land. Consul Kruge mentions the
religious “KuUurkampf,” which, he says,
in its practical results, may at least up
till now be rightly termed an unsuccessful
move ou the political chess-board, and has
been brought home by degrade to the Ro
man Catholic population in an irritating,
harrassing form. Between the pries* on
the one hand and Government on the other
the lives of the Homan Catholic peasantry
are made one of “perfect torment.” and
these people naturally desire to leave that
country where, rightly or wrongly, they
believed their religion*attacked or endan
fered. The relations existiug between
'ranee and Germany also act jiowerfully to
promote emigration, and the huge expenses
of maintaining tlie army, besides a navy of
considerable size, contribute to swell the
emigration tendency ot the country. Con
sul Kruge thinks 'that if the Australian
colonies care to have the largest por
tion of the coining German emigration,
at no time have they had a better chance of
creating an extensive movement to their
shores than at present. In the meantime.
Dr. Engel, the Director ot the Bureau of
Statistics at Berlin, estimates the loss in
capital of every German soul emigrated at
650 thalers (Prussian) or £97 10s. Iu illus
trating the loss to Germany by emigration,
Dr. Engel points out likewise that the old
and infirm people do not emigrate, but
that Germany has given within 274 years
considerably over 1,000,000 of strong men
to the United States of America alone,
and that the Kingdom of Prussia has lost
Within the same time 500,00# soldiers.
MARKETINGS’ PARIS.
FIRST EXPERIENCES OF A NO
VICE.
An lllnOoli DUpelleil—Ti.ty Displays In lbs
Windows aud on the Counters—Meals
Dressed for show— llnrnlns In a Foreign
l ongange—A Compliment.
Paris, August 19.—“ You must go
marketing." the head of the house said
to me; “yon will learn a good deal of
French”—as if French would rub off—
“bl -ides, yon know what is what." This
kind flattery of my taste in meats and
vegetables did not keep my heart from
beating with a vague sense of fear and
diffidence, not unmixed with a fascinat
ing sense of adventure, as I started out
with my basket and small stock of
French—hurried by the concierge,
seeing her disposed to 6peak with
b<m jour pronounced with beautiful
American accent. The street was noisy
with the cries of street venders, selling
any and everything that would go in a
hand cart or' oould be carried on the
back. These people have been since
time immemorial; the calls of the vari
ous articles have been handed down
from one generation to another, as one
can't help believing the voices have.
’Tsb impossible to distinguish words in
the jumble of sounds which sometimes
reaches the dignity of an air, and usually
has time if it hasn't tune. Such an
endless variety of voices! Here an
agonizing shriek, that could only come
from a man’s throat, hardened and
rasped by ages of yelling, we turn and
see a fresh-faced woman bargaining
with French grace and Jewish sharpness
over a few sous’ worth of salad. Again,
a shrill, small voice, and on a pair of
man’s legs is a forest of leather dus
ters, sticks with a flat end made of
twisted wicker for beating clothes, little
wire cages for shaking water from salad
and no end of small brooms. The
sweetest voice I ever beard came from a
great girl selling shrimps, who, from
her blotched face to her wooden shoes,
was a mass of coarse ugliness. Tom’s
imitative powers were tested in his en
deavors to acquire some of the cries,
ffe gave up in disgust, and declared
that "if fjiev ever knew themselves they
havJ forgotten ago, and still keep
ou crying."
I’arihiftn Flower
Perish forever the illusion of pretty
Parisian flower girls. If there ever were
any they were heroines from their very
rarity. Great carts of flowers, from
bunches of peonies, lilacs, daisies, but
tercups and even dandelion blossoms,
down to exquisite moss roses and lilies
,f the valley, are hawked through the
street, sometimes by women so old, so
brutally ugly, oue could believe them
i the very old women that knit in the
heads as they fell from the guillotine iu
93. They hold out the bouquets,
choosing becoming colors of “ma belle,”
distort their hideous faces smiling, coax
irtg “ma cheri,” “ma fille” with a good
bargain. The vegetable carts are usual
'y drawn by ft- man and woman, the
woman dcing folly her share going up
nill. The men wear tfie blue blouse, as
much a mark of their station as the
white cap is of the woman’s. In the ar
rangement of the carts French skill and
kiste is everywhere apparent, oven to
the fish, that Lave a bed of green leaves

cauliflowers and cabbages has a snowy
heap in the centre, with the cabbages
arranged around and below. Shops
from the “Grand Magazin du Louvre”
to cake shops eipoen specimens of *ll
merchandise in the windows, and it is
hopeless to search inside for wLat ope
doe* not see from the outside. The
green grocer’s window is tastily arrang
ed. Sometimes the ground-work is of
ferns and clover, whoso delicate leaves
and blossoms peep out from among the
fruits and vegetables. The Cremerie
Fruiterie, where one buys cheese in va
rious stages of strength, age and decay,
butter, eggs, milk, is curious if not
tempting to ontt with delicate olfactories.
Great factory cheese, round, red Nor
mandie, delicate Neuehatel in various
stages of palatable mould, innumerable
variety to tempt the epicurinu lover of
dainties, ending with the delicicious
“Iromage do la creme,” in its dainty,
heart-shaped baskets. Here’s a window
most tempting in its display of cooked
meats of all kinds, sot out with shivering
plates, tiny bottles of picfelcs and fruits
suggesting a true French menu. The
floor pt the store is of marble and imma
culate, while further to tempt the cus
tomer, through a door at the back be
can soe, in a spotless room, meat slowly
turning before a Ula#ipg fire of logs,
piled three feet high on a blazing fire
place resplendent with polished brass
and bright bricks. Opposite is such a
uioo little bit of nature. In tho door of
the little dark place where wo buy our
wood and coal is the woman, her poor
back deformed by burdens, her homely
face grimv black—when do they wash
themselves ?—talking to a bird in a cage
pretty enough for a salon. She opens
tho cage and out jumps the bird. A
litfle fellow, true child of his mother as
regards color, runs, with a shriek of
delight—shuffling off his wooden ofioe
on the way—the bird is only frightened
to the woman’s shoulder, and the boy
coaxes it down, standing on tip toe, and
so exposing the skeleton like attenuation
of his stocking.
TUe I.Himiliii**.
Through the ironed clothes on exhi
bition in the window of the Blanchisse
rie one can see tho girls at work, under
a ceiling of limp legs and arms which
shows bow our clothes are dried. Peo
ple are coming out of the bakery with
bread iu all shapes, from the loaf two
yards long to the basket of small rolls
and crescents. This markets are very
agreeable. Underneath tho counters,
on which are fowls ready for the fire,
fowls ready for tlie table, brown and fat,
are cages of live liens aud chickens,
quite unconscious of tho women behind
them picking and dressing some already
killed for sale, fioores of beautiful rab
bits in pens, some liiWiiug about tame
iu the stalls, unsaddened hy tli.o fate of
tlieir brothers that waits them dead oyer
their heads. Greens of all kiuds can be
bought ready cooked. Dewy mush
rooms are tor sale the year round. Veg
etables for soups are selling by the son,
carrots in shreds, potatoes, turnips,
parsnips chopped side by side, with tlie
savory port for tlavoriug. Tito meat
stalls, gud especially the small shops,
are particularly pleasant. For perfect
ventilation, there being no refrigerators,
the shops have but au iron grating,
forming the whole front by n ght, which j
ta .eu uway by day, is replaced by tables •
of meats, over which are hung animals '
eutire or iu pieces. These tables have )
the nicest pieces of beef, and ia plates j
eUoice roasting pieees, tender cutlets, ;
beef or mutton tied up with tho uutri
tious bone for the popular “pot aud
feu” and bits of juicy tenderloin. Al
most never are these tobies without
flowers or evergreens to set off the meat
and adorn the neat shops. At last one
fascinating little place mastered my
hesitation. Against the half of a gi-’
gantic ox, hung by his feet from the top,
were sheep hung all lu a row; down be
low were legs of mutton done up in little
pantalettes of white paper, fastened
with an artificial rose. One large table
was arranged most artistically. Ou the
large table were calves aud hogs’ heads,
with pots of hardy evergreen between.
In front were small pieces of meat,
dressed to a nicety, and among them
vases of early spring flowers. Over the
entrance several sheep were grouped to
gether, one large one in the middle,
with the hind legs Gat up and tied apart
to make a unique archway for the en
trance. Who could resist steak set off
by lilies of the valley, or mutton gar
nished with parsley, with aback ground
of lilacs.
Kxprriuirnlina Ullh m# Lnuuuagt*.
I mustered my forces, my scant
French, my multiplication table of five
and entered. By the skid ot tlie door
was the cashier’s desk—no matter howi
small the shop, there is always a cashier,
usually the wife of the merchant, who
sits with sewing or knitting when not
busy, receives and talks to the custom
ers with tact and politeness that might
be envied by a woman of society in
America. This wotaaa had an intelli
gent, pretty face. She wore a white
shawl round her shoulders, that with a
bright necktie was very becoming. Her
hair was elaborately dressed, as is the
fashion with women of this class, who
wear no hats or bonnets, the head being
covered only when very cold weather
gives them an excuse to arrange with
Spanish skill a worsted shawl or thick
veil from the stiff, high puffs, to fall in
graceful folds on the shoulders and tie
on the bosom. Living in Paris is cheap
er than at home, because one can live
differently. The prices are nearly the
same. Here it is much easier to live, as
meals can be bought, ready cooked, for
little more, and sometimes even lees,
than they can be cooked at home. Pies
aud paddings are unknown, as the
houses having no stores everything
must be trusted to the bakery.

EVANGELICAL JOURNALISM.
HISTORY OF THE NEW YORK WIT
NESS,
How a Daily Reliffiou* Newspaper wia Run
oa I'hriatlan Faith, and How It Broke
Down—Experience of tbe Proprietor.
New York, August 21.—The New York
Witness, or at least its daily edition,
has suspended publication, its editor,
John Dougall, making the announce
ment in a characteristic card. It has
been running about six years as a cheap
“evangelical” daily, its specialties being
temperance and godliness; it began with
a circulation of abont six thousand,
which was spurred up to twenty thong
and daring the Moody and Sankey ex
citements, and then aank to about four
teen thonsand. The publisher thinks
that if he could have raised 86,000 he
could have pulled through ’till Fall,
and thus have firmly established the
paper to share in the revival of busi
ness prosperity. He made a last ap
peal on Monday for it, “ and hoped for
a response throughont the day that
would show the Lord’s will waa to go
on as heretofore ; but there was no re
sponse at all, and that was an
equally clear indication of the
Lord’s will that we should not attempt
to continue a losing business.” This
talk may seem a little odd to your read
ers, and it may be thought that the Lord
is not in the habit of interfering active
ly in American journalism, but it is
characteristic and consistent, and I am
impelled irresistibly to give you a little
sketch of the Witness and ita editor.
Your readers may, to parody the mot of
Royer-Collard, have seen better men
and papers, aud have seen worse, but
Never Any Like Them.
It was just before the time of the
Chicago Are that John McDougall came
to New York to try the experiment of
publishing a daily religions newspaper.
Ha had, as he told a friend of mine, “a
hundred thousand dollars, and the Lord
Jesus Christ behind that,” and the pres
tige of success in a similar venture at
Montreal, where the Witness, “the only
religious daily in the world—price one
cent,” is an institution. Having made a
fortune and acquired an influential po
sition in Montreal, Mr. McDougall
thought he could do the same thing in
New York in publishing the same kind
of a paper, and so he oame down here
with his “one hundred thousand dol
lars and the Lord Jesus Christ” as
special partner. Ho forgot that he
could uot compete ia the matter of news
with the other papers; that the Puritan
olement is neither so strong nor so zeal
ous here as at Montreal, and that the
big “religious” weeklies would eat him
up in the country. Nevertheless, he
made astart, and though the daily
had gone down, the weekly Witness
survives with some sixty thousand sub
scribers (eo l hear), ajid is likely to
live,
But here comes the singular part of
the story—how has he made so long a
fight ? Ordinarily when a newspaper
publisher hasn’t money to meet a note
or pay his hands with, he just shins
round and borrows it, or
pp tlie Mhuttert**
Or sells out to somebody else. John
Dougall, under similar cireumstanoes,
doesn’t do anything of the sort. He
just sits down and prays, or inrites the
friends of evangelical religion to lend
him some money. Most editqrs assume
the virtue of pecuuiosity if they have it
not, and have a prejudice against pub
lishing to the world the faot that they
can’t pay their paper bills or
owe their printers more than a
month’s wages. Not so Editor
bousttf}}, He got up a 850,000 Wit
ness loan in ‘j ppr cent, bonds last year,
and they were all tojtefi BP by pi° us
people all over the country, from Maine
to Minnesota. Nor was this an excep
tional ease, for, to use Mr. Dougall s
own beautiful words : “Not more surely
was it the Lord who fpj tbe Israelites
with manna in the wilderness and sont
the ravens to supply the prophet's wants
than He has sent help to the Witness in
many a time of need.”
“Under Providence” and “by the
blessing of God” the RTfness was in
■ October last
On a Paying; Brslh.
So Mr. Dougall auuouuefcJ ip fiis circu
lar, from which I have already quoted,
and in proof of the assertion he printed
extracts from his books for the first six
months of each of these years, as fol

Iu other words, the business of tbe
Witness was in 1876 about 130 per cent,
greater than in 1874, and in 1876 abont
50 per cent, greater than in 1875. These,
too, were depressed years, when papers
everywhere were feeling the hard times
and their receipts were falling off.
Just a month ago, in spite of the 850,-

increase of business, tho Witness began
to get into shallow water, and the end

HAMPTON AND CHAMBERLAIN.
U’k.nt Bonn Platt Thluks oi tlie Carolina
PreNCCtitlong.
[ Washington Corr. (JineUi*ff4} Enquirer.] j
A gentleman answering to the geoiogb,
cal cognomen of Stone turned up here
yesterday, in response to an invitation
tendered him bv General Devens to re
sign his place as United States Attorney
for South Carolina. He brought his'
resignation with him. This was prudent
on the part of the geological specimen,
for he is a carpet-bagger, and the same
line of financial conduct that made his
resignation acceptable to the President
made him extremely disagreeable to the
new authorities of South Carolina. He
tells me that Relp-ue-God Hampton is
making it very hot for the late friends
of man (colored) of that State. The H.
M. G. Governor is dead in earnest, and
has committees and grand juries hard at
work investigating the conduct of the
late friends of maD foolored) put in office
there by the late Administration, and he
is especially warm and active in bis pur- j
suit of his late opponent, Chamberlain,
Stone says that if Help-me-God Hamp
ton gets hold of said Chamberlain be
will have an opportunity tendered him
of serving the State in a manner more
useful than ornamental.
We now campreheud the meaning of
that poetical quotation of the eloquent
Chamberlain at the Blaine-Bowen Fonrth
of July celebration, when he said;
I bear a voice ye* cannot hear,
That bids me not to stay; *
1 see a hand yon cannot see,
That beckons me away.
It was the yolos of tbe sheriff’, and “he
heard him complain,” tfie dread
hand of the law.
And so we leara that these fellows of
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana,
who followed the army into the Soath,
and who, so long in power and on plun
der, have, the moment the army was
withdrawn, “folded their tents like tb
Arabs and silently stole away,” tbe only
stealing, by the by, that is sanctioned
by the people of tfie United States. In
their desperate to secure the elec
toral vote for the Republican candidate
they were, it now appears, not only
fighting for place, but to keep from the
penitentiary. It is a little hard on the
poor devils that, after selling their
worthless sonls to tbe devil, tho yery
Administration that they fought so bard
to put in power abandon them, not to
their enemies, but to that blind Justice
whose evenly-adjusted scales weighs,
and whose sharp sword punishes, with
out fear, affection or favor.
Ah! Stanley, Stonier, bad we but carved our

London, September I.—Mr. James
Caird, in his annual letter to the Times,
on harvest prospects, says : “ The ex
tent of wheat is greater by nearly 200,-
000 acres than last year, but 400 thous
and acres or one-ninth, are below the
average of tho ten preceding years. On
a careful analysis of the returns from
farmers in various parts of the country,
I find that in twelve of the principle
wheat counties,which represent one-half
of the wheat growth of the kingdom,
three-fourths of the returns show that
the crops are below the average, while
one-quarter give an average crop. For the
remainder of the country. The deficien
cy is somewhat less in proportion. The
returns show a very general deficiency.
They are below au average crop, but
not greatly below it the general
yield is better than that of 1853, 1867 or
1875, the three worst crops in
34 years. But I fear that it will not be
equal even to the defective crop of
last year, and that notwithstanding the
increased acreage, we shall not have
more than between 9,000,000 and 10,-
000,000 quarters of the home crop. The
reduction of consumption consequent
on the enhanced price, may reduce the
year's requirements to 20,500,000 quar
ters, on the two conditions of strict
economy in consumption and an early
harvest next year. The foreign supply
we should in these circumstances re
quire, might be limited to 11,000,000
quarters. This takes a most favorable
view of our position for north of the
Trent most of the crop is still unharvest
ed and id subject to the risks of a late
season and very unsettled weather. If
we were the only country that required
help, and if we could rely on the con
tinuance of tlie large scale of foreign im
ports which has marked the last 4 years,
there would be little cause for apprehen
sion. But, with the exception of some
parts of Spain, all Western Europe is
and ficient, and the ports of the Black
Sea are closed, while a renewal of the
famine in India can hardly admit of any
increase of tho large supply we have re
ceived from that quarter during the
present year. Wo must, therefore, look
to America for a considerable increase,
even on her great exports of the last
four years, and if the war iu Turkey
continues, the vast resources of the
United States and Canada will indeed
be severely taxed to make good the
wants of "this country and Western
Europe. The small home crop of 1875,
supplemented by tbe largest import we
have ever yet received, afforded five and
a half bushels per head. The deficient
crop of 1876, with an import which
somewhat exceoled 12,000,000 quarters,
nas afforded very little over five bushels.
If the Black Sea ports continue closed
for the coming harvest year, we may
have to restrict tho consumption to con
siderably less than five bushels per
head. The other home-grown crops
promise little aid, barley being defi
cient and oats not above an av
erage, while potatoes are much
diseased. In 1866 and 1867, when,
from too deficient crops and com
paratively small imports the quantity of
wheat for consumption fell below five
bushels a head, the price was 64
shillings. In the past twenty-five years
the quantity has, on several occasions,
fallen below that mark, and the prices
of these years has averaged 60 shil
lings. If, therefore, the Black Sea
ports continue closed during the com
ing harvest year, we may be thankful
if it goes no higher.
BRIGHAM YOUNG.
Tlie Great Mormon Apostle anil His Career-
Front a House Painter’s Clerkship to the
Head of a Powerful Sect—An Eventful His
tory-Early Tanning and Influence null
T|[e|f Kesnltp Illustrated.
The great ruler oi the Mormons, who
has just died in the full possession of
the despotio power which he lias so
strangely attained, has a most remark
able life history. Brigham Young was
the son of a plain country farmer, and
was born in the small town of Wkiting
ham, Vt., June 1, 1801. His education
was yery limited, less indeed than that
of most country lads t}ie first years
of th'e present century, but lie"made up
largely for this deficiency in his man
hood’s years, and was well posted on
’post subjects of general knowledge.
His father him up to the trade
of a painter and glazier, be soon be
gan to show a peculiar tendency towards
religious subjects. !) r 'f?bam early
converted, joined the Baptist Church
and occasionally preached. Going to
the West he heard of the Mormon ex
citement, and in 1832 joined that sect at
Airland, Q. Thenceforward he was
identified with all tfie fortunes of this
strange religious body. He was soon
ordained elder, and discovering unusual
zeal for the propagation of his new faith
and tho possession of some pulpit elo
quence, he was sent to the Eastern
States ou a tour of proselyting. Though
illiterate, and often course, ho was very
successful iu winning converts to his
way of thinking. Every year added to
his power in the seat. When, iu June,
1844, Joseph ftmitli was murdered.
Youug and four others jvere set apart as
candidates far tho Presidency—or rather
dictatorship—of the body. The “Apos
tles,” as the Choosing Committee were
called, unanimously selected Young,
and the seot in general was well satisfied
with the choice of its most earnest and
successful proselyter. To prevent any
possible dissatisfaction, Young’s chief
riyaf fpy ffio supreme honors, Sidney
RigdoD, was' seni/iptp fiaujshment.
From the day of his inductioa into his
high office Brigham Young showed the
qualities of a leader. When Nauvoo
was declared a hostile city by tbe Gen
tiles, and the Mormons were driven
away from tho town which they had
fqufidec), Voting rallied his disheartened
subalterns, anti urged them to seek a
uew home in the West. He led them
across the desert and the prairie to the
valley of the Great Salt. Lake, declaring
that here was tho promised land of so
ioijj-p. In this desert spot a fertile re
feiop was fqpraad, the prosperity of
tfie community wfiipfi thus
founded fias been one of tbe wonders of
the time. Young was everywhere recog
nized as absolute dictator, aud bis mle
was inflexible. In 1849 he organized a
State whioh he called Deseret, and ap
plied to Congress for its admission.
Tfiis was denied, but the following year
the Territory of Utah was organized,
and Brigham Young “ ov ‘
ernor for four years. So long as none
but Mormons entered the Territory mat
ters went on peaceably. But the “Gen
tile” settlers were looked upon as intru
ders, and mapy of tho more fanatical
Mormons, calling themselves “Destroy
ing Angels,” wrought terrible outrages
upon settlers not of their faith, The
Mountain Meadow massacre has been
forcibly brought to mind by the recent
confession of John D. Lee, who charged
that the atrocities were committed by
the express command of Brigham
Young. Certain it is that he had dicta
torial power, and, if he did not com
mand the massacre, did not at
tempt to restrain the fanaticism of his
subjects. In 1854 a Provisional Gov
ernor, a Gentile, was appointed, and
Young defied Hie power of the Govern
ment for seyeral years, refusing to ac
knowledge its representatives. In 1857
Alfred Cumming was sent as Governor
to Utah, with 2,500 men, and the dicta
tor abdicated his temporal dominion,
retaining still absolute spiritual control.
This was most conclusively shown in his
promulgation of “the celestial law of
marriage,” sanctioning polygamy. This
dpetrine was denounced by the widow of
Joseph Smith, and opposed to the prac
tice and tradition of the sect ; but Brig
ham Young’s mandate was sufficient to
establish it as a cardinal principle of
Mormoniam. Being head oi tho sect,
Youug was by virtue of his office the
chief of the order of Danites and many
secret Mormon organizations, and his
sway was everywhere felt. As regards
the temporal prosperity of th.e Salt Lake
community, it is agreed on ali hands
that this is mainly due to Young’s en
ergv and sagacious planning. He was
strict in enforcing the obligations of
contracts ; and after his power was
made subordinate to that of the General
Government, was generally just in his
rules regarding intercourse with Gen
tiles. Young’s last years were made un
happy by the separation of his fifteenth
wife, Ann Eliza, and the successful suit
for divorce and alimony, as well as the
proceedings against him as accessory to
the Mountain Meadow massacre. But
he was strenuous to the last in declaring
himself innocent of guiit. and in urging
his people to hold fast to their princi
ples, and to their faith in him as Su
preme Ruler. He had been in poor
health for some months, and his death
was not nnlooked for.

CHARLEY ROSS.
The Ohio Boy at the Rohm Residence in (*er
maiitown —Not Identified by the Family—
Public Intertst Manifested by a Propessipn.
Phipapelfjja, September 2.—There
has been much, anxiety and interest in
this city all day to learn the truth as to
the identity of the child brought here
last night on the supposidtion that he is
Charley Ross. Mr. Ross was entirely
convinced that the child was not his
kidnapped little one, even before be had
seen the boy now here, but the descrip
tion of the newly discovered child and
all the circumstances surrounding him
apparently made it probable that the
lost child had been found at last.
Interest of the Public.
All the incidents of the case were made
the most of inexaggerated and sensa
tional articles in certain Sunday news
popers, which, with the real circumstan
ces, have inflamed the public interest,
and tfie;o fiaye been large crowds of ex
cited men and women folfowing tbp lit
tle fellow wlio was brought from the
West, At the Continental Efotel, where
the child's custodians took him last
night upon tjd.eir arrival', a crowd gather
ed early this AHW' MLfP*
ten o’clock two brothers of Mr. Christian
K. Ross, Messrs. John S. and James
Ross, called at tfio fiotpl Shd wers im
mediately shown to tfie apartments of
Sheriff Coffin. After examining the boy
carefully both these gentlemen said in
very doubtful manner;
“We do not think he is the boy.”
About cloven o’clock a gentleman
named J. Good heart, a upiphtyir pf Mr.
lioss, called, and after looking at the
boy fora few moments, he said;
“That’s him; that is Charley lioss,”
and immediately ran out of the room.
Eli Route to (<ermantown.
Toward noon the party in charge of
the child proceeded to the depot at
Ninth and Green streets, to take the
quarter before two, p. m., train for Ger
mantown, After they had taken their
seats in tne car a rumor was spread that
Charley lioss was on the train, and, a
few moments after, a large crowd of
curious people gathered around the
train, all anxious to catch a glimpse of
tho long lost boy. Before the train
started, at least fifteen hundred people
were gathered in and around tho depot,
and after tfie train left the waving of
handkerchiefs aud the tfirowing of kisses
proved that many a woman : s heart beat
in sympathy for the lonely little curly
haired boy. When tbe train arrived at
Washington lane, where lVfr. Ross re
sides, tfie passengpis Ipft fhe tfaig ip a
body and marched up tbs lans in the
wake of the boy and his guardians. In
stead of entering Mr, Rosa’ house the
procession proceeded on up the hill to
the residence of Mr. Benjamin Horns,
about two squares above.
Conduct of tlie Boy.
The boy did not appear to recognize
any of the surroundings. Several ladies
wlio were at tho house said they thought
he looked like Charley, and tfiey hoped
he was, he appeared to be suqh a geptle
nianlv little fellow. In order to avoid
the crowd, vvhicfi fiat} BQf assumed
large proportions, a detour was made,
and au attempt made to enter Mr, Ross’
residence from the rear. This was ob
served by the crowd, and when the par
ty having little “Gus” in charge arrived
at the house they found it completely
surrounded by the people, who, in order
to catch a good glimpse of tbe boy,
trampled over the lawn, flowers and
shrubbery, and even invaded the private
portico of the dwelling, driving the Ross
family into the house.
Interview With the Ross Family.
Tfie fioy and *“3 guardians were re
ceived in the sepond Story front room by
Mr. and Mrs. Ross and the immediate
family. He was taken to Mrs. Ross
side, but he did not make any signs of
recognition, neither to her nor any of
the family. Mr. Ross questioned him
at great length, and tho following was
the only important part of his answer:
“I live with Mr. Coffin. I used to live
with Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson got me
off the cars. My mother lives in St.
Mary’s. I never lived in a big town.
I lived in a big cabin with one room in
it. I had five brothers and three sisters.
I ain’t going to tell von everything,”
said the little fellow, afid the obuyetsa
tion was dropped for the time.
Not Their Child.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Ross were positive
that fie was pot their child. Mrs, Ross
said;
“His wrists are too large, his cheek
bones too prominent, and his features
are altogether too coarse for him to be
my Charley.”
Mr. Ross was equally positive, and
said that if he had not been convinced
that this was not his boy he wquld have
gone to the Continental this morning,

Trade Slark.
New Yobs, September s. — Albert L.
Hembold has brought suit for injunc
tion to restrain his brother, Henry T.
Hembold, from infringing on his trade
mark. The plaintiff’s case is that from
1862 to 1872 he manufactured for his
brother a medicine named “Buchn;”
that Henry T. Hembold was declared
bankrupt and the trade mark was sold
to plaintiff. In the argument in the Su
preme Court to-day the answer of the
doctor was read, denying all ot, these
statements, and saying that plaintiff was
merely clerk servant of defendant; that
tfie trade mark never was in the assig
nee’s hands and never was sold. The
Court reserved its decision.

Destructive Fire in New York City—Families
Rendered Homeless— Heartrending Scenes
—Leaps for Life Six Hundred Thousand
Hollars Worth of Property Destroyed—Two
Hundred Lives Lost.
New Yobs, September 3.—At half
past nine o’clock this morning flames
were seen issuing from the second story
of John P. Hales’ large piano factory,
on West Thirty-sixth street, near Tenth
avenue. The alarm was immediately
given, and three minutes after the flames
shot from the third, fourth and fifth
stories of the building, and immediately
aftei wards the air was filled with vol
umes of black smoke, and cries of hun
dreds of operatives, who could be seeu
at ODen windows wildly gesticulating.
'lne fire department quickly respond
ed, and streams of water were poured on
the burning structure, but the fierce
wind blowing from the west baffled all
their efforts, the flames flying from floor
to floor with lightniug rapidity, and
igniting the whole establishment. The
operatives, driven by smoke and heat
from the lower floors, sought refuge in
the seventh and eighth stories, from
which many jumped to the pavement
below, and were either killed outright
or were fearfully maimed.
Ono man stationed near the window
on the top floor was seeu to pull off bis
coat and take his position on the window
sill. The people in the street below,
thinking he intended jumping, shouted,
“To tho roof! to the roof!—don’t
jump 1” Heedless of their warning, he
got down on his hands and knees, and
then securing a good hold on the win
dow facing, cast one glance below and
swung off. He alighted on a projecting
window facing. Balancing himself for
one moment, lie jumped again with the
agility of a cat and rested on the casing
of a window. At the fifth floor the
flame3 and smoke poured out in torrents,
and quick us a flash he jumped to the
fourth story window, and so on until a
small balcony on tho first floor was
reached. Here ho paused for a moment,
and then jumped to tho pavement, and
was saved. Others, despite the warn
ings, jumped to tho roofs of buildings
far below, and were carried away. It
now became apparent that tho factory
was doomed, and tho firemen turned
their attention to Graham’s silk estab
lishment, on Thirty-sixth street, just in
the shadow of the great burning build
ing.
The roof was deluged with water, but
the heat was so intense that the firemen
could not remain at their posts, and
soon it was a mass of flames.
Tenement houses 504, 500, 507, 508
and 511, immediately below in Thirty
sixth street, caught fire from the burn
ing cinders, and a scene of confusion
followed that almost baffles description.
Men, women and children rushed pell
mell through hallways from different
doers screaming and crying.
Some of them carried tables and
chairs, others crockery ware, and not a
few were seen bearing children on their
backs, through blinding smoke; the
wind had by this time increased to a
gale, and great sparks flew in all direc
tions, firing dry roofs of buildings in
blocks bounded by Tenth and Eleventh
avenues and Thirty-fifth and Thirty
sixth streets, and in half an hour after
the breaking out of the conflagration in
Hales’ factory, almost every house in the
block was burning, and others facing
Tenth avenue were fairly blazing.
The fire alarm again sounded, and ad
ditional steamers and hook and ladder
companies came to the rescue. Ten
minutes past ten the walls of Hales’ fac
tory, facing Thirty-sixth street, fell in
with a crash, and it is said several per
sons were buried beneath the debris.
This fall gave the wind free aocess to
other exposed buildings in Thirty-fifth
street, and they, too, were soon in
flames. Tenants, as in tho street above,
barely escaped with their lives, a greater
part of them being unable to save any
thing. McMastpr’s and ftJoCoy’s large
five story brick houses, near Tenth
avenue, next caught fire, and the sparks
soon ignited several small frame build
ings in the rear, quickly destroying
them. At one time it seemed as if the
fire would reach the long row of busi
ness and tenement houses on the east
side of this avenue, but by superhuman
efforts of the firemen they were saved;
but tho end row of buildings on the
west side of Tenth avenue were fliorp or
less 4* eleven o'clock the
conflagration was bq far mastered that
no further danger was apprehended, and
they then began the search for missing
friends and relatives. Brothers reported
that they had lost brothers, wives were
wringing their hands and crying for
husbands whom they could not find, and
children were wandering about scream
ing for their parents. The burnt dis
trict covers a space of seet op south
?,nd north sides Thirty-fifth Btreet, 175
eeton west side Tenth ayenue, 500 feet
on south side Thirty-sixth street. Build
ings destroyed in addition td gales' fac
tory arp G^ham ; ii silk factory, Qonnol
ly's barrel yard,' and three brick tene
ments op Thirty-fifth street; two brick
and tour wooden tenevaenta on Tenth
aveuue; three brick tenements an<’ a
coal yard in Thirty-sixth B t reo t, and
several small bufi'V.ijgs, making tliirfcy
eiglit •- a j| a About thirty-five families
are rendered homeless, and most of
their furniture is destroyed.
Tfle latent, estimate of loss is about
$600,0(11). The loss of life is variously
estimated at from fifty to two hundred,
but it is thought tho loss may not be so
large as two hundred.
It seems from present indications not
less than one hundred people were kill
ed or injured by the fall of the walls
and perished in tho flames. It is known
that three hundred operatives were in
the factory at the beginning of the con
flagration, aDd as tho flames and smoke
spread rapidly, and . there were no fire
escapes, it is thought a great number
have loafc their lives.
Some escaped by a rope tliat had boon
arranged for the purpose at one of the
lofty buildings. All accounts of the loss
thus far are wild. The firemen as yet
have been unable to excavate the ruins,
but will do so at the earliest momont
possible. One report says there is no
doubt that some2s to 30 girls, employed
in the upper stories of Hale’s factory,
have perished,
The general impression of those who
live in the neighborhood of the fire is
tiiat at least fifty lives have been lost.
At 4:3Q. p. m., thirty-five dead bodies
are reported to bo lying in the Thirty
second street police station. The fire
commissioners are of the opinion that
no persons except men employed were
burned, and say the reports of the loss
of life have been exaggerated.
The fire originated in the sounding
board drying room on the third floor of
Hale’s factory, where a stove was used
for heating. A spark from the stove is
supposed to have ignited some firy ma
terial olsse at fiand. The greatest diffi
culty encountered was the scanty supply
of water, The fire plug stood open
without giving out a single drop.
The fire-boat “Fuller” was brought to
the foot of Thirty-fifth street, and gave
a supply of water to two engines. The
gutters were dammed, and the dirty
water which had been once used was
again utilized and thrown back upon
the fire. Every conceivable means of
husbanding the street supply was re
sorted to. Engine 34 was abandoned,
owing to the intense heat, anfi became a
total wreck.
fierce of the wind was so great
that large pieces of burning wood were
carried as far as Sixth avenue. Gospel
tent, Thirty-fourth street, near Sixth
avenue, caught fire and was destroyed.
Decker’s Billiard establishment, fully
half a mile away, was in imminent dan
ger at one time, and saved only through
a copious drenching of water.
A SICKENING PICTURE.
Twenty-four 3lillions of People Afflicted by
Famine—Cases of rannlbaltam.
The editor of the Madras Times who
is a member of the Relief Committee,
writes under date of August 1, as fol
lows : The population in Southern
India, more or less afflicted by famine,
numbers 24,000,000. In the most favor
able circumstances at least one-sixth of
the people will die. The famine is un
megsqrably greater than was that in
Bengal. Twenty-three people in all
died of starvation in Bengal. In Madras
no camp of 3,000 rises morning after
morning without leaving 30 corpses. In
the interior the distress is most fearful.
One gentleman passing down a valley
in the Wynaad district counted 29 dead
bodies on the road. A coffee planter
seeking shelter from the rain in a hut
found six decomposing corpses ia it.
On any day and every day mothers may
be seen in tfie streets of Madras offering
their children for sale, while the found
ling portion of the poor-house is full of
infants found by the police on the roads
deserted by their parents. Since the
famine commenced people have
died of want and distress. The first
tragedy may be expected in Mysore. In
that province information has reached
me from Bangalore of two cases of can
nibalism already.

H. R. Stevens:
Dear Sir—ln the Spring of 1869 I was strick
en down with fever, wh eh had a long and al
most hopeless ran. The best medical advice
being in attendance, I was taken through the
fever; but it left me terribly reduced and
weak, with excruciating pains in my side, back
and hips. I was completely prostrated with
Kidney Complaint, and no medicine seemed to
reach my case.
In this condition I was persuaded to try Veo
etine by a friend whom it cere ! of the same
disease, and it seemed as though I could feel
the effect of the first dose through my whole
system: and from that moment I began to
mend, gradually growing better from day to
day; and I followed on with the Veoetine,
until it completely restored me to health,
since which time I have been able to perform
my duties as a police oflicer, enjoying good
health; and there is no doubt about tho great
value of Veoetine in Kidney Complaint and
similar diseases. lam, rir, respectfully,

remedies for this complaint, and never found
so much relief as from tiro Veoetine. It
strengthens and invigoiates the whole sys
tem. Many of my acquaintances have taken
it, and I believe it to lie good for all tho com
plaints for which it is recommended.
Youis truly, JOSIAH 11. SHERMAN.
Would Give a Dollar fora Dose.
Boston, May 30, 1871.
H. R. Stevens, Esq. :
Dear Sir—l have been badly tfflicted with
Kidney Complaint for ten years; have suffered
great pain in my back, hips and side, with
great difficulty in passing urine, which was of
ten and in vory small quantities, frequently
accompanied with blood and excrutiatiug pain.
I havo faithfully tried most of the popular
remedies recommended for my complaint; I
have been under the treatmont of some of tho
most skillful physicians in Boston, all of whom
pronounced my case incurable. This was my
condition when I was advised by a friend to
try tho Yegetinf,, and I could see the good ef
fects from the first dose I took, and from that
moment 1 kept on improving until I was en
tirely cured, taking in all, I should think,
about six bottles.
It is indeed a valuable medicine, and if I
should bo afflicted again in the sarno way I
would givo a dollar for a dose, if I could not
get it without.
Respectfully, J. M. GILE,
3611 bird St., South Boston.
LIFE A BURDEN.
Boston, November 2, 1873.
H. R. Stevens, Esq.:
Dear Sir—From a poor, emaciated sufferer,
the Vegetine lias restored me to perfect
health.
I have for years been a terrible sufferer from
Canker and Dyspepsia, at times rendering life
almost a burden to me. lam now fifteen (15)
pounds heavier than when I commenced the
use of Vegetine.
I will make mention that I was also a great
sufferer from Kidney Complaint, causing ex
cruciating paiu through the small of the back
neatly all of the time. This, too, Vegetine
has cured, and I am now a perfect picture of
health, and I will add, happiness—all caused
from the use of a few bottles of Vegf.tine.
Respectfully, H. G. HUGHES,
1 Union Place. B iston, Mass.
Vegetine is composed of Roots, Barks and
Herbs. It is very pleasant to take ; every
child likes it.
