The dreadful doroestio tragedy which has
last oooarred In Philadelphia the murder b
ma inBane husband of his wife and two chil
dren, and his subsequent suicide is lull of
Warning to a large class of men who believe
themselves to be peoullarlj exempt from ln
telleotaal infirmities. Mr. Blaokstone, the
Unfortunate gentleman who destroyed himself
and his family, had invested his capital in a
business which was really prosperous . and
profitable, but by the dishonesty of an ac
countant, considerable amonnt of cash had
been embesfled. There was no defloienoy
trhioh the resources of the partnership were
ttot ample to meet; but the theft and less of so
Urge a snm overthrew the mind of Mr. Black
tone, until in his madness he sought, with
Serverted tenderness, to save those who were
ear to him from want by consigning them
to the tomb. The motive, If a
nan In his condition can be said
to have a motive, was un
doubtedly oreditable to the best feelings of his
nature; but the original delusion was a mis
taken notion, a melancholy and morbid over
estimate of the value and Importance of
money. This delusion has at all times been a
fruitful souroe of insanity. It has filledjthe
brains of squalid alchemists with dreams at
onoe a pleasure and a pain; it has beguiled
the half-clad and half-fed miser into a con
tentment with nakedness and an Indlffarenoe
to hunger; it has destroyed the sweetest
natural relations and ohanged brothers to
enemies; It has oaused those who were atfiist
Ingenuous to become badly subtle and full of
dissimulation; It has proved too strong for
constitutional benevolenoe, and has made the
band close and griping which nature meant
Should be generously open; It has developed
new . forms of felony and led men into pe
culiar and irresistible temptations; it
baa - provoked disgraceful breaches of
the . most sacred trusts and the cruel
spoliation of the widow and the fatherless;
and or more than a moiety of all the pain
and misery of this groaning globe it is either
directly or indirectly responsible. But avarioe
can hardly be considered at this time distin
guishing mark of the money-maker. Gene
rally, if his gains have been great, his expen
ditures have kept pace with them, and he has
been anxious to proolaim by luxurious osten
tation the golden favors whioh have been be
stowed upon him. But it is easy to see that
this profusion only adds to his eager appetite
by increasing the demand upon his cheok
book. To berioh contents the miser; to be
thought rioh is the passion of the modern
Votary of Plains. This is not feeling which
Is oonfined to Wall street, nor does it influenoe
those alone who stir the foundations of the
market by large transactions. If a man's
. sphere be a narrow one, within that sphere
be wishes to be thought successful; and he
looks eagerly forward from the twilight of small
' things Jto the broad noon-day of unlimited
' opulenoe. Suoh passions are oontagious, and
. are shared by most of those who buy and sell.
Pecuniary losses beoome the worst of misfor
tunes; he who owes and oannot pay is the
Tileat of criminals; rivals in trade are hated
and, If possible, crushed, until society seems
to be held together only by the oohesive power
of mutual loss and gain. Here and there is a
man who ts driven from his equanimity by the
prospeot of insolvency, and is half mad be
cause he has promised what he oannot per
form; but failure to most is distasteful beoause
It will entail a diminution of importance and
Imply a want of commercial talent. A third
or fourth place in the race may oontent the
majority, but to be wholly distanoed is Intole
rable.' In one of Mr. living's earliest but
most exquisite sketob.es there is the story
Of a merchant who was overtaken by bank
ruptcy, and whose principal thought was of
the disoomforts and privations which his
young and lovely wife would be forosd, in
consequence of his reverses, to suffer. It is
hardly necessary to remind the reader of the
delightful moral of the tale of the oheerful
aoquiesoenoe of an amiable and loving woman
in misfortune, of the summer light which her
Sresenoe diffused throughout the new and
umble home. If men would but remember
bow many exoellent pleasures, how many ele
vating pursuits, how many of the worthiest
cods, are quite independent of mere material
Wealth; If they would but consider the ambi
tions whioh best beoome our better nature; If
they would but think how truth, and love,
rand oonatanoy, and self-saorifioe are oftenest
' most beautifully developed in an atmosphere
of poverty; if they would but reflect
that no bankruptcy can deprive them
of the charms ef nature, of the gratifica
tions of study, of the happiness of home, they
might be less eager in the pursuit of wealth,
. and less inoonsolablo for the loss of it. But
We have forgotten the better half of the lesson
whioh Dr. Franklin taught us. We are wil
ling enough to thrive luxuriantly, but we are
not willing to enjoy moderately. It is safe to
say that none of the admonitions of that fine
Id man, whioh are oftenest quoted in defense
of acquisition, referred to enormous aggrega
tions of private wealth suoh as in our day have
beoome almostrtoo oommon for notioe. Happy
la ho that can bit upon the happy medium ;
who can fairly decide for himself the relative
Value of different schemes of life ; and who
can be oontent with poverty if it be his por
tion, or wis in the use of wealth should it be
Touohsafed to him. -

doubt the paragraph indicates. At the first
glanoe th Mexican mission would seem one

Irlr. .Toluifton and SucccHor.
from the K. Y. Timet.
Mr. Johnson, when engsged In "swinging
around the cirole," Is never over-ohoioe in
epithets or over-courteous to opponents; but
he eould not have said anything in more
oxeorable taste than he did at Knoxville, in
exclaiming, "Thank God! my honors have not
neen gained through blood. The wounded
soldiers oannot attribute their wounds to me."
Compared with this, his Baltimore slur at his
successor as being a willing "slave to Con
gress" was a compliment. All the blood
Grant has shed has been in defense of that
Constitution of whioh Mr. Johnson still
imagines himself to be the only guardian. It
was noble blood, nobly offered; and it waa
beoause General Grant had so managed that
this blood was not shed in vain, that his
countrymen first turned their minds npon him
for the Presidential chair. To slur at those
whose "honors have been gained through
blood" is to cast a reflection upon some of the
best men of the land, of all opinions and all
parties; it is to deory the ultimate tribute of
patriotism.
Tlie Cuban Situation.
From the K. Y. Timet.
Whatever may be our views of the Cuban
cause, we must not be blind to the faot that
the insurgents have not yet made the degree
of progress generally claimed for them. Ex
aggeration is the leading trait of all news
from the Island, both from the offioiai and the
insurgent side. We showed the other day
how, in the Spanish stories, every cross-road
skirmish was magnified to a great battle, and
every dispersion of a knot of suspioious charac
ters was telegraphed as a tremendous defeat
of the patriots. What has beoome of that
"utter rout of a great body of insurgents near
Trinidad f " Ten days have since elapsed, and
nothing has been heard of the affair. .
Rumor and report are absolutely all that
we get from "the scene of oonfliot," and so
trivial are even these that one begins to
doubt whether there Is any oonfliot at all.
Take the telegrams of the last ten days
they are the merest twaddle. Cuban news
la a mere repetition of Cretan, whioh was so
untrustworthy as to revive the uncompli
mentary Cretan description of St. Paul.
That "reliable gentleman" who uBed to
figure, along with the "intelligent contra
band." in our own war, has evidently taken
up his abode with the Queen of the Antilles,
and is plying his old vocation. First he tells
ub that "the Peruvian monitors are certainly
aiding the insurrection" although the
official pledge of neutrality under whioh
Peru took them-has been made public Next
be tells us that "within a few days the in
surgents will have possession of a seaport;"
but he has told us that for three months, lie
speaks of Havana as being somewhat in the
position of the Viceroy of Egypt, under
whose Beat a "loaded bomb" was lately put;
whereas, private residents there tell us they
would hardly suspect that an insirreotion
existed but for the newspapers. An Eoglish
gentleman an impartial observer lately
rode on horseback through the whole of that
"insurrectionary dlstriot" of whioh our "re
liable gentlemen" regularly sends maps,
shaded with various degrees of blackness, to
indioato the spread of rebellion. At eaoh vil
lage he paused and inquired where the insur
rection was. "At , so many miles ahead,"
was the invariable response. He got to Ha
vana without finding it.
We would not underrate the insurrection,
whioh is a very serious affair, and promises
one day to be successful. But what we say
is that sympathy must not lead observers to
discount a suooess not yet attained. The real
efforts of the Cubans will probably be made
in summer, when, as Mayor Hall says, Gene
ral Yellow Jaok will take the field against the
foreign levies, and the native troops will be
better disciplined to fight. There has yet been
nothing like a pitched battle, and hardly oven
a respectable skirmish.
Xlie Government Kecurltic In
vetigutiou. From the X Y. Herald.
Two years ago a joint committee of the
houses of Congress was appointed to lnvestl-
fate the alleged irregularities or frauds in the
'rinting Bureau of the Treasury Department,
and to make a careful examination of the
method adopted by the Treasury to print the
bonds, notes, and securities of the United
States. The business was put into the hands
of a sub-committee, oomposed of Senator Ed
munds, Mr. Buokalew, and Mr. Halsey, and
Senator Edmunds has now made a report for
the committee.
Two years ought to have been long enough
to have investigated thoroughly the affairs and
alleged irregularities of the Treasury. But
after all this time the oommittee finished its
labors, as those of every Congressional inves
tigating oommittee end, in finding out nothing,
or next to nothing. There is In the report a
mass of verbiage about the duties of the seve
ral bureaus and officers, all of whioh we knew
before, and about the magnitude of the Trea
sury transactions sinoe the war; whioh also
we knew, and then there are some suggestions
lrMfc "iormlD or proving the service,
wbioh are all very well; but nothing was dis-
mli&Aii&tJT""1? For stance,
we should like to know where the following

being missed and unaccounted for. If the
oommittee failed to discover this faot, how

fear the oomxnitiee did not go beyond the Walls
of the Treasury Department to get forma

amination of those only who were interested
in protecting the department. It was either
incompetent or purposely left the Irregulari

miserable failure, and the result is the oountrj
