‘‘Mob law and a vigilance committee in Cin
cinnati" is the subject of an editorial in a Cin
cinnati journal. Ttiia is probably intended to
make outsiders believe that enough people
are left in that decaying village to constitute a
mob.
A Bt. Louis reporter, whose duties upon the
street at night have frequently led him into
the teeth of numerous ill-natured dogs, visited
the pound in that city the ether day to gloat
over some of his imprisoned enemies. He
writes: “It was singular to notice the immediate
springing into action of a majority of those
dog- as we looked down among them, and it
w is Just as curious to regard the perfect apathy
of others.”
John 15. Gough was once mangled by a light
ning long-hand reporter ia Canada. The postle
said: “The habit of drinking in saloons is
also evil in this—the drinker frequently treats
his companions, thus spending more money
than lie jierhaps can afford.” The reporter
made the ’postle say : “I am opposed to drink
ing in saloons, because you often have to treat
a crowd, which costs a good deal of money.’’—

“What we were troubled about,” writes J.
jf. Burdick, to tbo Elizabeth Journal “(the
sickness of my daughter). we now lejoice over,
as it was the grappling tongs of Providence
that lifted her from llie jaws of death.” Cer
tainly anew instrument in the hands of Provi
dence! The gentleman meant to say that las
daughter's sickness kept him and. her away
from Haydeusviile on the terrible day of the
disaster.
Germany covets the Duchy of Luxembourg. :
which is often called the military key of the
Continent, and was for that reason declared
neutral territory by a treaty of the Great Pow
ers many years since. The |iossession of the
famous fortress would give Germany a vast
advantage in the next war with France.
There are three hundred different sects in
England, and seven sprung up during the
past year, viz.: the Congregational Temper
ance Free Church, the Hope Missions, the
New Methodists and Protestant Union, the
Union Christians, the Unsectarians and the
Christian Dolphins. The last hold that none
out of their society can be saved, and but few j
in it. and that there is no difference between j
their souls and those of animals.
Now wo know all about it. An enormonrly
learned climatelogist tells the world, in Galig
nani. how our incipient Rummer go‘ nipped in
the bud, timely : “The chilliness is due to the
fact that the earth passes behind a ring of as
teroids. which absorb a portion of the sun's
warmth due to us wliilj it remains above the
horizon. The temperature will not resume its
ascensional movement until the annual rotation
shill have carried our sphere from the shadow
of the multi:nde of small planets which is al
ways projected on the same point of our or!/.”
The celebrated English surgeon, Sir Hemy
Thompson, who began his professional career
by accepting a fee <rf $25,000 for removing a
corn from the head of the King of Belgium, is
about to visit this country, and the Brooklyn
Argun thinks that “in consideration of Ins
cousinly affection for Americans lie will furnish
Secretary Itichardsou with anew set of brains
at half the usual rates.” That be may do ; hut
Richardson hasn’t got eonsc enough to employ
anew set of brains judiciously, even if he had
one.
There seems to he a war betweon New York
and Philadelphia houses over Victor Hugo's
“ Ninety-Three,” the result of which is a re
duction of the price of a dollar hook to twen
ty-five cents. On the heels of this comes the
prospect of a little contest between tire new
house of Henry L. Shepard ,t Cos., of Biston,
and the Scribners. Shepard it Cos. complain
that they were the first to announce Jules
Verne’s now hook, and that tlio Scribners viola
ted the courtesies of the trade by announcing
it after them, and have refused to take any
notieo of their letter of remonstrance.
Rochefort's arrival ia Chicago is thus de
scribed in the Timen : “He was mot at Itiver
siilo by Mens. Frank Parmoloo, who, when he
recognized Rochefort, approached him and
thus addressed him : ‘Omuibustoanypartofthe
cit.v. Chookyourbaggageandgivoyouaf rebride

shook his head in despair, and M. Frank Par
melee tried it again, ‘lead olefelor ifyer wan
led car bagidge toated toa hotel liourline
would doit plior three francs.” Rochefort nod
ded, and with indiscribabie patoisanswerod the
’bus agent, saying ‘Dasawlrito.’ ”
Says the Chicago Times ; “In liis way
Graves was alicro. In O’Reilly s spirited poem,
which wo havo quoted, thero occurs the coup
let :
And this the erv that ho flings to the wind—
, ‘To the hills for your lives, the flood isbehind.
Now. as it iH every one’s duty to preserve tlio
truth of history, we must insist that llio coup
let, notwithstanding tlio sacrifice of poetical
foot to Hie demands of prosaic fact, shall read:
Ami this the cry that ho flung to tlio wind -
•Tlio reservoir’s giveaway and is right hero.
All you can do is to gel away.’ ”
At the recent State dinner to tlio Emperor of
Russia, in London, “when tlio squeal of the
bagpipes first roso in the hall, tlio Czar was ap
parently perplexed as to the origin of the
Bound, and the oilier Russians looked at one
another in amazement. Yet tlio pipes mimt
have been familiar to a good many Russian
cars in the Crimea, wliero the men in petti
coats' made their mark in tlio groat Avar. The
first shrill notes gradually swelled into a fuller
blast, and round tlio table marched the two
pipers with distended cheeks and activo elbows,
putting as if thoy wore bent on exploding tliem
aolvos and blowing the walls down.”
Tlio soothing influence of a $25,000 paving
oontract enables tlio Washington 11-'pubtican to
come to this remarkable conclusion concerning
the investigation of tlio affairs of tlio Board of
Public Works: “Whatever else is said or
found, there must bo ouo verdict, and that ia.
that there has been no personal corruption;
that thero has been no fraud as against either
the District or tlio General Government; and
that whatever errors, mistakes, evils, wrongs
or extravagances may have been discovered
there lias nevertheless been ontiro integrity
of purpose on the part of those charged with
the conduct of afftirs.
The Danbury man, who is in Europe, came
upon the broken walls of a ruin the other day. j
and they made a deep impression upon his
American wind. Ho writes: “How many a i
merry step had passed along its corridors, and j
how many a sad face had peered from its lat- |
ticcs ! A flood of strange, weird reveries set
in upon my soul, and carried me by its power
away down the ages that arc gone. I said to
the cabman: ‘How old a ruin is that ?’ pointing
to tho walls with a trembling linger. ‘That ?
That's anew 'ouso going up for I’cter Stoven
aou. the linen diaper on George street.' ”
A letter from Cleveland, Otiio. says: “In
addition to tho crusade, the temperance league
of men, some weeks ago. hired ten spies,
mostly from out of town, who went from «a- j
toon to saloon drinking and spotting men for <
witnesses. These spios went before the grand |
jury, and through their testimony about 700
indictments under the Stato law havo been
found against saloon keep rs each defendant j
having from three to twelve indictments. Not !
content with this, large numbers of suits for!
damages under the Adair law have been insti
tuted. at tho instigation of tho temperance j
league -plaintiffs claiming from 4500 to 420.- j
000 in each ease. One law Arm m&ies a special- j
ty of this class of eases.”
Editorials upon hydrophobia, says tlio Bos
ton Ulohe. are beginning to appear in the news
papers throughout the length and breadth of
the laud, and the imagination of the sprightly
reporter will in a few weeks more begin to
level in the diwcriptions of cases which might
have taken place, and which, for all practical
purposes, will answer just as well as facts.
The popular idea seems to be that all dogs are ;
liable to thedisoase. and that eases never occur j
save during th* heated season. This is alto
gether erroneous. The best authorities on the
subject state that i is confined to no seas n. |
and that muzzling increases the tendency to ;
rabies. It is also asserted that ia nine cases
out of ten the person bitten by a niad dog fails '
to be attacked by hydrophobia iu consequence. .

SAD ACCIDENT.
A Little Child Dies fx-om Drinking
* Potash.
Last Friday afternoon, Mr. S. C. L.
Bush’s youngest child, a bright and in
teresting little boy, about nineteen
months of age, went into the kitchen at
tached to Mr. Bush's residence, in the
lower part of the city, and perceiving a
cup of liquid potash which had been
prepared for the purpose of making
soap, took it np and swallowed a portion
of the fiery contents. The little crea
ture instantly vomited up the noxious
draught. Its throat and bowels were
terribly burned by the potash, however,
and it suffered almost intolerable agony.
Dr. S. C. Eve was sent for anil did all
in his power to relieve the little fellow’s
sufferings and save its life, but fn vain.
The potash hail done its work too sure
ly, anil the child died yesterday about
four o'clock.
A FIENDISH ACT.
A Negro Attempts to Outrage a Little
White dirt.
We have to record this raorniug one of
the boldest and most dastardly out
rages which has ever occurred in this
community. Yesterday about two o’clock
a little white girl, named Mary Randal,
daughter of Mrs. Randal, a widow living
at the Widows’ Home, and aged about
fourteen years, was walking along Mcln
tosh street towards Greene, having just
come out of a Broad street store, when
she was accosted by a negro youth who
informed her that a mantua maker at
the Augusta Hotel desered to see her
immediately. The little girl was at first
incredulous, but the negro assured her
that the mantua maker had sent him
after her, and that she wanted to see
her at once. Upon this the girl follow
ed him to the entrance of the
hotel nearest the Express office,
and up the flight of stairs. The
negro then led her to the back
part of the building and into an
unoccupied room. As soon as they
were in tlio apartment the scoundrel
drew a pistol, pointed it at the terrified
little girl and made infamous proposals
to her, telling her that if she did not ac
cede to them lie would kill her. The
little girl, however, screamed at the top
of her voice, and ran out of the room
into the hall. Her screams aroused the
mantua maker, who occupied a room at
the other end of the liall, and who
reached her door in time to see the vil
lainous negro running off in the other
direction. The little girl, \vlt*o was
frightened nearly to Eio verge of insani
ty, ran np to her and was soothed as
much as possible. She was taken home
to her mother, but continued in an hys
terical condition nearly all the afternoon.
The greater portion of the western part
of the hotel, into which she was led by
the negro, is unoccupied, only a few of the
rooms near Broad street having tenants.
This fact seems to show that the negro
had somo knowledge of the premises.
Tlio little girl stated that lie was fully
grown and stoutly built. A negro who was
whitewashing at the hotel says that he
saw the two go up into the building,
and that the villiu.ii who attempted to
commit the outrage is a youth, but fail
ed to identify him. Several negro
youths employed about the hotel were
arrested by the police during the after
noon, and taken before the little girl.
None of them, however, proved to be
the guilty party. The police are making
strenuous efforts to detect the scoun
drel, and we earnestly hope that they
will succeed. No punishment will be
too severe for him. While we are op
posed to mob law, no one could blame
others for inflicting instant and condign
punishment upon such a fiend.
Mrs. Randal, the mother of the girl,
is a seamstress, a widow, and a most
excellent woman. Her little daughter
is a quiet and modest child. The oc
currence frightened the girl nearly out
of her reason, and it was some time
afterwards before she could give cohe
rent answers to questions.
School Children in the First Ward.
—An enumeration of the school chil
dren between the ages of six and eigh
teen, aud Confederate soldiers under the
ago of thirty, is being taken in the

Improvements at the Library.— The
Board of Managers of the Young Men’s
Library Association held a meeting yes
terday afternoon, and authorized tho
President to have the partition between
the two rooms now occupied by the As
sociation taken down, and shelves for
books placed around the entire apart
ment, the newspaper files to be iu the
centre. This action was rendered neces
sary by the crowded condition of the
room hitherto devoted 4o books. The
Library is one of the most beneficial in
stitutions in the city, and should be
patronized by all of our citizens. A
good library is needed in every city.
Tablet at the Augusta Free School.
—We saw yesterday u neat marble tab
let erected iu the Augusta Free School,
on Greene street, as a testimonial to its
benefactors. The tablet is the work of
Mr. T. Markwalter, of this city. It
bears the following inscription :
“Benefactors of the Augusta Free
School—Thomas Gumming, Richard
Tubman, John Campbell, John Fox,
James McDowell, Thomas Snowden,
Artemas Gould, Robert Campbell, Wm.
Camming. ”
The tablet is fixed iu the wall on the
west side of the school.
Accident on the Georgia Railroad.
—Yesterday a small negro boy, about
ten years of age, who was sleeping on
the Georgia Railroad track at a curve a
few miles this side of Camak, was run
overby the down passenger train, and his
right hand cut off above the wrist. The
train was backed to the spot where the
accident occurred, in order to render any
needed assistance to the little fellow.—
The boy’s father, who was working in a
field near by, took charge of him aud
curried him to his home. The boy,
when the train returned to where he was
run over, was almost unconscious from
fright and loss of blood. The first ut
terance of his respected parent oil seeing
liis bloody arm was “ Wha you go to sleep
on dat track for ?”
A Cheap Barometf.r. —A goodly num
ber of our citizens believingly consult
“Old Probabilities'” daily prognostics
of IJje weather, and govern themselves
accordingly ; others trust to luck. Now
comes an economizer who suggests that
every person can have an inexpensive
weather gauge by securing a green frog
and putting it into a tall bottle, inside
of which should be placed a tiny lad
der. In fair weather his frogsliip will
perch himself ou the ladder’s topmost
round; in threatuiug or foul weather,
descend and lie low.

THE DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH.
Dili the Queen Start that Awful Story
About Her?
[London Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald. [
I wrote you in my last that considera
ble talk had taken place in the upper
circles of London society concerning
the non-appearance of the Dnchesa of
Edinburgh at the drawing room held by
the Queen last week, and I further inti
mated that the real cause of this non
appearance was supposed to be the revi
val of the question of precedence and
the refusal of the Duchess to yield the
pas to the Princess Beatrice, in accor
dance with the Queen’s wish and the
rules laid down for the settlement of
such matters; which are to be found in
“Debrett’s Peerage” and books of the
kind. On the day following that on
which my letter was mailed a paragraph
; appeared in the Times in the position
sand in the large type awarded only to
i official announcements. This paragraph
[ admitted the surprise which had been
silt at the absence of Her Royal
Highness from the drawing room, but
ascribed it to the fact of Uei being in an
“interesting situation,” anil, conse
quently, unable to bear any unnecessary
fatigue, and it wound up with the ex
pression of the conviction that the Eng
li-!i people, who take great interest in
the royal family, .would be pleased at
the news. Whether they were ple>seil
or not, they were certainly surprised,
anu a vast amonnt of astonishment was
expressed at the want of delicacy in the
arm uncement. Such matters are not
ordinarily paraded in general society,
and though the fact of the wife of the
reigaing sovereign, or the reigning
sovereign hers-ls, or of the Princess of
Wales being enceinte, is necessarily an
nounced as an official fact on which vast
issues are dependent, there was no ex
cuse for such announcement in the
present instance. The Duchess of Ed
inburgh, though a member of the royal
family, is in the position of a private laily.
But the wonder and the scandal were in
creased a thousand fold when, on the
very next day, appeared another para
graph, equally large-typed and equally
prominent, in th o Daily News, the Tele
graph and the Standard (but not the
'Junes ~ stating emphatically that the
editors were desired to announce that
the paragraph of the previous day was
not in anyway authorized by the Duke
of Edinburgh. Now it was obvious to
every one that such an announcement- as
that in the Times would not have been
put forth by the remarkably long-liead
od ruse c inductor of that journal, Mr.
J. T. Delane, on his own responsibility.
It must, therefore, liaVe been what the
French call a “ communique ,” and the
only question was by whom it could
have been sent. Public opinion point
ed at once to the Queen.
TRAGEDY IN BROOKLYN.
A Mother Murders Her Three Chil
dren.
[From tlio New Yoi k Times of Wednesday.]
Just before daybreak yesterday morn
ing Michael Dwyer, a society cooper,
who has li en on a strike for a number
of weeks, returned to his lodgings on the
second floor of the three story tenement
house No. 85 North Eighth street, Wil
liamsburg, m a state of intoxication. He
found his wife pale from anxiety anil
want, surrounded by his three little chil
dren, waiting up for him. She said, as
he entered the room, “So you’ve come
at last, Mike ? Is the strike ended ?”
Dwyer replied that he did not know how
it would be until the morning papers
came out, containing a report of the ac
tion taken by the Union at the meeting
the night before. On hearing his an
swer his wife urged him to lie down and
take some rest, and be ready to go to
work later in the morning, irrespective
of any action the Union might take.
Dwyer said he would wait until the pa
pers came out any way before making
application for work. Mrs. Dwyer had
half persuaded her husband to leave the
strikers, anil \n order that there might
be no further excuse for delay she went
from the house to purchase a paper. In
a few minutes she returned, being una
ble to find one at that hour, and about 5
o’clock asked her husband to go out and
get a paper. He did so, and while out
met a brother cooper named Owen Mur
phy, who had decided to give up the
strike and go to work. Murphy accom
panied Dwyer to his home, urging him
to go to work. Dwyer’s wife joined in
the appeal of his friend, but Dwyer find
ing that the Union had taken no decided
action, was obstinate, and announced
liis intention of waiting a few days
longer. Murphy left to go to work, and
Dwyer drawing a chair near the front
window, sat down to read the paper
ho had purchased. He hail been
this position but a few minutes when
his wife came stealthily behind the
chair, armed with a heavy cooper’s ham
mer, and struck hauJmsband a terrible
blow ira the topof the bead. He jumped
from the chair, but before he could de
fend himself received another blow from
the hammer at the base of his skull near
the left ear. Stunned from the effects
of the blows and covered with blood, he
rushed from the room, anil crossing the
landing, entered the apartments of a
man named Slavin, who lived on the
same floor. Mrs. Slavin got a wet cloth
and was in the act of applying it to the
wounded man’s head, when liis wife fol
lowed him into the room anil again
rushed at him with the blood-stained
hammer in her uplifted hand. Mrs.
Slavin’s husband, who is ail old and
feeble man, threw himself between the
husband and wife, and after a severe
struggle succeeded iu wrestling the ham
mer from the latter and forcing her out of
the room. When Mrs. Slavin had tied a
cloth around Dwyer’s head, lie ran hasti
ly down stairs and into the street for
aid, fearing his wife would attack their
children. A few blocks from tho house
he encountered Sergeant Fielding and
Officers McCue and Hynes, of the Fifth
Precinct. Sergeant Fielding, after learn
ing the facts of ‘die case, sent the
wounded man to the station house, and
repaired to tlio house No. 35 North
Eighth street. At the door ho met a
decent, quiet looking woman in the act
of leaving the' house. The Sergeant
asked her if she knew a ]\trs. Dwyer,
and she said yes, that that was her name.
The officer then asked about her hus
band, and she replied that she had
struck him because he deserved it; that
he refused to work to support his wife
and children. Thinking that Dwyer was
the only one assaulted, the Sergeant took
the woman by the arm and was walking
with her to the station house when she re
marked quietly that she had just killed her
children, and that they were lying dead
at the house. Fielding at oqpe took the
woman back to the house, and, mount
ing tho stairs, entered the apartments
of tho Dwyers. These consisted of
three small rooms. Th« front room,
fourteen feet by twelve,, was used as a
kitchen and dining-room, tnd through a
door leading from it at tha back was a
small, dark bedroom. Tue remaining
room off the hall was used is a coal hole
and for lumber. Passing through the
front room the Sergeant, still holding
Mrs. Dwyer by the arm, paused on the
thresh hold of the dark bedroom. The
only light was that admitted through
the doorway, and as Sergeant Fielding
stood at the thr.eshhohl it was with dif
ficulty that he could dfeaeru objects
within. Gradually his eyes adapted ]
themselves to the gloom, aid he saw a ;
spectacle that made his blood run cold.
Stretched on a low bed was the corpses
of three children. Two of the bodies
reclined at the foot of the!bed, while
the third, that of a girl ibout seven
i years of age, occupied a position at the
! head. Blood stained the sheets and
| pillow cases, and dropped with a dismal
I plash on the|fioor,|whete it etdlected in a
i pool aud slowly made its way to a
I ereviee under the bed, and disappeared
I under the floor. A single fiance satis
i lied the Sergeant that the eLildreu were
! dead. A diligent search resulted in the
discovery of two smoothing-irons, which
had evidently been used by the mother
in killing the children. One was found
j standing on a table, the other on a
I stove. The bottoms of both were clot
ted with human blood, to which a few
| light hairs cluug tenaciously,
| The hammer with which Mrs. Dwyer
i struck her husband was obtained from
the Slavins. The names >f ;Le murder
ed children are Jemmy, 'higgle, aud
Timothy. The girl was levin vears of
age, her brother Jarnm Jul’ reached
his fourth year, and Timith.l was but a
baby, one year aud nine bj inths old.—
That the unfortunate nit ler was in
• sane at the time of the aA Mere appears
|to be very little doubt. Wfer the birth
j of her second child she i&'Ltn attack of
j typhoid fever which affeK \ her brain
aud obliged her contidfc»it in Flat
bush Lunatic Asylum for time.
Mrs. Dwyer is much younger than her
husband, but they lived happily toge
, tbcp ainpp their marriage, in 1 867, until
] the Commencement of the coopers’
1 strike. Uvtyer, though Lj diauk fiotpe
i times, was an industrious man, aud
i treated his family well. After the first
: few weeks of the strike tWir mouey was
exhausted and want began to stare the 12
in the face. The rent was unpaid, and
that fact weighed on the taind of Mrs.
Dwyer, who was peculiyly sensitive
about money matters. To be in debt
made her life miserable, aid within the
past few weeks her family was deprived
| of many of the necessaries of life owing
,to their straitened circumstances. Tne
] following account of the murder was
j given to a reporter by Mrs. Dwyer her
j self, in the Fifth Precinct ’ Station
: Honse.
Reporter—Have you lived pleasantly
with your husband ?
Mrs. Dwyer—Well, yes; but I don’t
think we had any great love for each
other. I was only eighteen when I was
married, aud he was much older than
that. But I can honestly say that I feel
a comfort to know that my children are
in Heaven. Wasn’t it the Lord who
sent down His only Sou to die ? W’ell,
I took the lives of my children, but it
was for their souls’ sake. First I killed
the baby—my little Tim; he was one
year and nine months old. The reason
I took the baby first was because he was
lying nearest to me. He made some
noise—l think he cried hard, but it
didn’t last long. I hit Maggie second.
She woke up anil said, “Mamma.” I
said, “It’s me, Maggie.” Then I put
her out of her trouble. Maggie Y as a
good girl. She told me many times she
wanted to go to Heaven. Once I asked
her whether she would feel bad if I
should drown her in the river. She said
no, for she should go to Heaven. Then
I took Jemmy. He woke np and moaned,
so I turned him over to let the blood run
out of his head faster. They were good
children.
Reporter—Mrs. Dwyer, do you realize
your position ?
Mrs. Dwyer—Perfectly, sir. I am a
murderess; I have defied the law; but my
liittle ones, thank God, are iu Heaven.
I have often felt like killing myself, and
I knew that if I went first aud left them
behind me they would never reach
Heaven. You see, sir, my husband
wouldn’t go to work. I warned him to
go, and yet he persisted, and my brain
is not quite right sometimes, and that’s
the way it happened.
The woman’s description of the man
ner in which she attacked her husband
is substantially the same as that given
above. The police surgeons pronounce
Dwyer’s wound fatal. His skull is frac
tured in two places. Dwyer is a native
of Ireland, as is also his wife. He is a
middle-aged man, some years past forty,
while his wife is only in her twenty
sixth year. Dwyer said 'yesterday, of
his wife, that a “ better woman never
lived,” anil that it was the rent and the
trouble about the strike that crazed her.
The people who lived in the house with
the Dwyers give them an excellent
character,, anil particularly of Mrs.
Dwyer. She tfas of most orderly habits
and exemplary character, anil always ex
hibited for her children a doting affec
tion. The bodies of the little children
were removed to the city undertaker’s
aud the inquest will beheld by Coroner
Whitehall to-night.

On this Edge of Death—A Tf.rii.oi s
Situation. —On Monday morning a
painter named Wm, McCullough, who
was at work on the Second Sister Island
bridge, above Niagara Falls, by some
mischance fell into the raging current
beneath. The water at this point rushes
aud surges along toward tlio cataract,
three-quarters of a mile belcw, with ir
resistible force. All along the stream,
down the brink of the American fall, the
bed of the river is thickly studded with
huge boulders, around and over which
the current seethes and boils as if in
fury at the obstructions. It was down
this frightful channel that tho unfortu
nate man was swept with the velocity of
a whirlwind. His doom appeared to be
sealed, for nothing short of a miracle
could rescue him from the clutches of
the angry waters and the fearful plunge
over the falls below. It seemed as
though ho must have drowned long be
fore reaching the cataract, but did not.
Neither did he go over the falls. Iu a
short time after falling from the bridge
he was seen standing erect upon a rock
that lifts itself above the water iu tho
rapids. Here he appeared to be as far
from human aid as before, for it was al
most certain death to go to his rescue.
But a hero was found equal to the emer
gency, and, amid the wildest excitemen
among tlio throng who now lined tin
shore, preparations for his rescue wen
made. A rope was securely fastened t>
the bank some distance above, an!
Thomas Conway, who had volunteerel
for the hazardous undertaking, suecedel
in reaching tho place where McCuilougi
was standing. By means of the role
both men were safely hauled aslior.
Mr. McCullough was not injured in tie
least.
He Yearned to Be a Beporteii. —le
came up the stairs Saturday morniig,
and as soon as lie had recovered is
breath he wanted to know if we woud
like to engage another reporter. le
said he hadn’t had much experience, bit
lie said it in a toue which was meant o
convey the idea that he knew his bad
ness. He was tall and thin, had ona
plug hat which looked as if it had ban
run over by a drove of mules, his collr
had sweat through and his bandana haul
kerchief was remarkable for the may
crevasses in it. His boots were red will
old ago, and his pants were stuffed ino
the tops. Nevertheless, liis face ms
one to command attention, aud his tons
were respectful. In reply he was ted
that there was always room at the top if
the profession, just as Daniel Websfcr
told a young lawyer once upon a tins.
He said he thought four stories high ms
about as near the top of the professln
as a fellow could get, but his joke vis
too old to laugh at. He didn’t wilt
much pay, he said, his object beingto
identify himself with some growing jar
ual and let the fleeting years bring Inn
wealth aud laurels, lie was but ni:e
teen years old, and bo bad plentyof
time. He said bo could sit up thee
nights running, ingratiate himself iio
the affections of the police in oue luef
hour, and he knew the firemen aud He
captains of the military compaoes
would love him on sight. He could re
port anything, he said, from a dog fijlit
to a regatta, and he wrote a lighting
hand. He was used to religious met
ings, knew all about medical oonyn
tions, and would go for woman suft'Ege
or become a granger, just as the pier
desired. He preferred, lie said, to
work all day and all night, but if thaif
fiee had a rule requiring a man to slep
three or four hours out of tho twefcy
four he would obey.
He promised much more, and iis
tones grew more serious as be talpd.
He was being consumed by a baring
ambition to wield a lead pencil, anilice
water had uo effect on him. He vas
“ up” in grammar, posted in the pits,
and as for history, he could repeat ef:ry

A Sermon in a Paragraph.— President
Porter, of Yale College, gave the follow
ing advice to the students of that insti
tution the other day;
“Young men, you are the architects
of your own fortune. Rely on your own
strength of body and soul. Take for
yonr guiding star self-reliance. Sub
scribe on your banner; ‘Luck is a fool;
Pluck is a hero.’ Don’t take too much
advice—keep at your helm and steer
yonr own ship, and remember that the
great art of commanding is to take a fair
share of the work. Think well of your
self. Strike out. Assume your 'own
position. Put potatoes in a cart, over a
rough road, and the small ones go to the
bottom. Rise above the envious and
jealous. Fire above the mark yon in
tend to hit. Energy, invincible* deter
mination, with a right motive, are the
levers that move the world. Don’t drink.
Don’t chew. Don’t smoke. Don’t swear.
Don’t deceive. Don’t read novels.
Don’t marry until you can support a
wife. Be in earnest. Bo self-reliant.
Be generous. Be civil. Read the pa
pers. Advertise your business. Make
money and do good with it. Love yonr
God and fellow-men. Love truth and
virtue. Love your country and obey its
laws.”
Spirituous liquor gives America an
army of about 750,000 common drunk
ards, about 200,000 paupers, 60,000 in
sane, 40,000 idiots, 400 to 500 suicides,
and 300 to 400 murderers a year. It
gives also 200,000 orphans aud causes
about 2,000,000 women and children to
sutler through drunken husbands and
fathers. The men who are engaged iu
this sunl and body destroying traffic
take from the hodmen, from mechanics,
merchants, etc., about $616,000,000
every year. There are 150,000 men who
have dram shops, 21,400 wholesale deal
ers, with 14,083 brewers, aud 5,000 dis
tillers, making a grand total of 190,583
engaged in making drunkards, paupers,
idiots, murderers, etc., to be supported
by the honest anil industrious classes.
About $91,470,000 is received as taxes
from these drinks and tobacco, but
$40,000,000 of it goes for crime alone.
If we could get at all the other expen
ses caused through drink, we should
find ourselves great losers in money, in
morals and iu health.
One reason why a New York fireman
didn’t get to a conflagration was “be
cause he hail a big poker baud anil was

PRODUCE REVIEW.
Business, generally speaking, lias during the
past week been dull aud more limited than
ill it of tlio previous week. Bacon is easier,
aud sales have been made at a decline in
prices given in onr last review. Grain—Corn—
the market is weaker, with a decline in mixed
and yellow, while inconsequence of the present
light supply is more' steady, though a decline
is apparent within the next week or ten days.
Wheat is unsettled, with but little dornmand,
and uo material ohange is looked for until the
arrival of the now crop. From the anticipation
of a large crop, combined with the scarcity of
money, it is generally conceded that prices will
go considerably lower. Oats are scarce, with
a light demand in force. Hay—market almost
bare, demand good and prides stiff. Flour
supply good, market dull and unchanged.
Light Country Produce-market heavily stocked
with slow sales, especially Butter.

WEEKLY cotton review.
The market for cotton on spot lias been ex
ceedingly slow throughout the entire week.
Values show a further shrinkage,’ but tins con
cession lias failed to stimulate the demand
from any source, a. and shippers have no orders
on hand, and foreigu markets generally have
shared In the dolmens. It is noted liere in
dealings lor forward delivery there has been
considerable irregularity with occasional wide
fluctuations. There has been no apparent
cause for any very decided irregularity, as the
stock hero was amply sufficient to cover all
contract for settlement, and the only cause
seems to have been manipulation and speen
iation to get up a Uttln excitement. SaleH of
the week were 130,214 bales, of which 127,500
were on contract, and 2,714 for immediate de
livery. including 1.024 for spinning and 790 for
speculation. Naval stores ruled exceedingly
