The Export of Gold.
The recent heavy export of gold, causing as It
~,s doused, the rise In the premium, and a cars
resiondlnglise In everything that we buy abroad,
is compelling the attention of commercial and
2.II,IGCSA men, and exciting no little alarm (or the
future. The „Yartoutel Inkiligenecr, before gold
reached 140, accounted for the rise as follows :
"Prom authentic commercial advlces In Boston,
New York, and elsewhere, we derive Informs-
Linn that the orders now being sent abroad (or
gords are of almost unprecedented amount. Che
importations (or the summer and fall embrace

of these arrangements for Importations is that
gt,tl6lls steadily rising, and was at one o'clock
y • torday within a fraction of forty par dent. '
pm lum. If the demand for gold to remit for
foreign geode continues, the premium will noon
t,e much higher."
There is no doubt that this Information is ac
curate ; and this, together with the fact that the
government bonds are froinently sold in New
York on foreign account, being returned hero
for that purpose by parties will, purchased when
gold was above two hundred and who now sell
to realize, carries gold up and keeps it up.
Yet in the face of this advance in gold, and In
the prices of so many articles which the people
most bare and which we now import, many
newspapers arc clamoring for free trade. If
,here was no gold sent abroad, except for
the purpose of articles which we do not
and cannot produce or menu fact ore 1u
this country, gold would bring bat a small pre
mium. It Is really worth DO more today, ex
cept to pay foreign dents, than greenbacks, and
if we had no occasion to send a dollar abroad It
wonld bear no premium. People here don't

were ten thousand, in his estimate; during the
period of his imprisonment—were starved and
starved and starved. They died and died, au&
by

few others persisted as long as they could. But
banger and weakness and horror gradually did
their work and he succumbed. From August
until April he tmflered retre.tlum we can imag

rebel ranks, and arms placed In . his hands and ,
those of his companions, about half an hour be
fore Stoneman arrived. He did not fire a shot
against his flag—none of them did—and they
went directly over to Stoneman, but as coming
from the rebel ranks they were held as prisoners.
" This Is one case, sad enough, but with alle

like him who suffered all that he suffered, and
then, consumed with loathsome diseases, with
broken hearts, with reeling brains, sank into
convulsive agonies of death, or laughed out In
stark madness, or drivelled slowly on in Idiocy.
And they were young and brave and noble men
who were thus treated. They were guiltless of
every crime, and has done nothing bit defend

CM AND SUBURBAN,
The Annual Address at the. Pittsburgh
Female College.
The spacious Chapel in the College betiding
was well filled lut evening with a highly
gent and select audience, on the occasion of the
delivery of the Annual Address by Rev. Erwin
House, ono of the Editors of the. Western Chris
tian Adeorote, a leading mall widely circulated
religious journal, published at Cincinnati. Mr.
House, besides being one of tho most accornpllsh
ed journalists of the day, la an author of some
note. Much was Expected of him, and we thick
high as the expectations were, they were folly
realized. The address was on the "Tongue and
its Tones;" the major part of it being devoted to
the Tongneas the unconscious Revelator of Char
acter, Various examples are given 'which it is
impossible to characterize In type.
Want of space will only permit us to Beier
some passages from this eloquent address. Re
ferring to the modern pulpit he says:
The history of the modern pulpit is becoming
In some degree a history of the power of tones
and credences. It has been often remarked that
men who say things the Moat pleasantly have
the greatest number to hear them not that men
like sound without sense, bat because they like
to see sonnd and sense joined In blissful mar
riage ties. A professor in the Oniversßy of the
city of Now York, hearing the late Bpencerll.
Cone preach, whispered in the ear: of a friend,
"That voice of his, so musically, full and win
ning, will be the making of him." No partisan
of Mr. Bourgeon considers him a profound
thinker, but nobody, friend or foe, denies that
he has a voice of almost Inapproachable sweet
nets and power. His style of hymn and scrip
ture readml e Is Incomparable . !The Instarithe

pew prey . No boy or girl whispers, no man
glances at his neighbor or his watch, no tired
body gets up and walkato the door. A sort of
`lntoxicating physical magnetism Is abroad, and

omnipotent. We 'can nay of him or of others

leg except to weary an audience. I do not ear
how true this Is; it sounds radical, but I give ft
ae a view of one who has a lifetime ministerial
experience and who feels competent to Judge.
But do not misunderstand me. No one could
go further than myself in urging the necessity of
a thoughtful as well as an eloquent tongue in
the pulpit. The people love to be Instructed as
well as pleased. A sharp intellect, using words
that quiverwith vitality, la one that must eons
pel the attention of any hearer no, matter what
the mental status of that hearer. The Saviour
le a preacher of Intellect; he started inquiries in
the minds of men, and made them ask, How
can those things be? He evolved ideas that put
his hearers to the utmost . of their strength In
grasping. f hle eat high above all, and, as one
has expressed it, dropped down seed Into their
minds. Their minds acted on the seed In da.k.
nese for a time, but still acted, and when the
time was fulfilled the seed swelled out, and grew
np and here fruit; and alter he was gloed,:his
disciples remembered his words and wondered
at their germinating power. But ire as - his fol
lowers must use symbols of truth in the Sancta •
my and the most expreselve symbols are those
which Uod has wonderfully and fearfully made:
they are the tones and geitures of the speaker
who has teamed to develop the power. which
Id:Maker has placed in the countenance, the
hands and the.vocal organs. There Is more of
the philosophy of art developed in a religions
service conducted by the ordinary Protestant
minister than in a Romish Cathedral. If any
man will always speak the right word with the
right tone—"ll any man offend not in word"—
the same Is a perfect man.
Quite a comber of illnstrationSwer e given of
the tongue being the unconscious revealer of
character, which It Is impossible, as stated be.
fore, to characterize in type. The closing words
had a thrilling effect. He said:
Could anything more absolutely establish the
proposition that 1.-have laid down, that the
Tongue Tone is the revegitor of feeling and
character, tnan the conduct of the Impulsive
Tongue? It would fain make believe all the
while that it did not move except when name
great or solemn thought came along and begged
'or utterance, yet everything che proves that it
flutters with aflutter ceaseless and ungewerabla,
at the faintest provocation. As one has said,
There is a touching pathos in the spectacle of
an Impulsive disposition. It ought to draw the
pity and commiseratima of angels this getting
one's feet entangled every live minutes in the
meshes of the tongue, and tumbling headlong
in the presence of the eyes of a laughing street.
Blindfold me, said an emin American
man once, once, and place me In a ny church or before
any preacher you please, and I think I eau tell
by hie tone or by some phrases dropped, whether
he be Baptist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian or
liethrdist.
The reason some men always sing minor banes
is not because the major ones are scarce, but
because they cannot help letting people know
that their hearts are adjusted to the minor hey.
Ind you ever see two lovers together I Of
comae you did snot play eaves-cropper to their
col. versatlon, but the breeze was favorable and
coo could not help catching the room of their
voices. Was there not something very pure--
something very liquid—something very sweet
In their-tones I The little child clambers up its
father's knee on his return home in the °venire:,
and putting its arms around his neck, "How itti
Mary loves Papa," but It never thinks that It
has pat its little heart In the tones uttered.
A good many years ago, said a minister to me
once, my dislike to a certain religions seta was
very strong. I wan was Preaching at a school
house appcintmect at II .t. al. and had occasion
for some reason to refer to the denomination of
my dislike. Tao men, gay but bearers, though
net members, showed symptoms of great rest
leakness and arose and lelt the house immediate
ly en my finishing txty remark, It surprised
my exceedingly. I analyzed the words of my
cxpression, and found nothing particularly ols
jerelonable: For weeks I did not see them, but
accidentally Coming upon one of them, I en
quired the cause of himself end his neighbor
leaving so abruptly daring sermon time. "'Your
tone was so unjust and bitter" was the reply,
that I could not endure it,"
The inference will naturally be drawn that if
the voice only reveals the state of the heart, it
matters little as to our culture of the voice.
The Inference le not broad enough and it Is has
tily drawn. The tongue and the heart, have a
reciprocal action. The fact that lam watching
my tongue makes me watch my heart, and my
watching my heart makes me watch ra tongue.
We are self educatens in a high and e mp hatic emphatic
sense. There are times when we ecareely dare
trust our voices upon our own ears. In the
hour of solitude or bereavement, ehould you
pronounce the name of 1100 , 3 dear one gone from
your side, or start on a low pitch some plain
tive melody of the olden time, how the bigelrops
crowding each other will work their way from
between your eyelashes, and course down your
cheeks. A man in a rage may cheek himself
by speaking In low tones to himself. We utter
harsh !words in a harsh tone each hour in the
day, and our hearts become hard and harsh.
We utter kind words In a kihdly tone as often,
and our hearts become kindly disposed.
But while variety In the intellectual world is
its charm, In the moral world au exalted uni
formity Is Its crowning glory. If all mankind
spoke with the sweet tongue and tone of Chari
ty, heaven's dearest and best belovea child, how
strangely changed this life wonid be! How ma
ny a pang of regret would be spared, how many
a tear of scalding sorrow would be repressed,
how !pelage couch, otherwise sad and lonely,
would be cheered and illumined, In.w many a
allusion would be hung in colors of love and
light, that show now the presence of contention
and bitterness. Precions sad blessed forever la
the lofty word uttered from a true heart when
life has crowded its cankering cares and clouds

where it oriuMated, until the steamers amved,
when it was thoroughly eatingnished. The fire
originated from au explosion in the refuse well,

the purpose of carrying off the refuse of the agi

was probably caused by the accidental contact of

Improvement for .Transportlng 011--Kee•
• lees Patent 011 Car. '
We have been shtiwit the plan' ont 'patent 01l
car now la course of oetistinctioa, and ri
specimen of which will be finished early In July.
Mr. Keeler, the patentee, has perfected all the
improvementa, and a special °barter was granted
to him by the last Leghdathre—the only one that
has yet. been granted for the porpoise.' The im
provement consists of a large tank, conatruetett .
of boiler iron, the top .of which Is no higher
than the floor of an , ordinary car. 'Title tankla
twenty -Live feet long, and has a capacity for
holding , barrels of oil, or aboUrferi tons;
the lepth of the tank being Shoat triree-and.a.:
.half feet. It Is covered by a box, giving It the. '
external appearance of an ordinary .- freight car,
and which may be so constr neted as to make It
a'gondola or a flat ,car. Above the tank lee
floor, on which, In addition to the oil, may be
shipped any light or balky freight. The floor
underneath has ventilators, which have the ef
fect, when-the car le in motion, of cang off
any odor that may arise from the 011, thusutter
ly preventing any Impregnation, by wasting
gasses, of the freight that may be shipped is the
box. Return freights can thus also be chipped
on the car, without Injury. The tank may be
used either for the shipment of crude or relined
oil to the markets, which will be drawn directly
front tanks. The length of the whole car, with
platform and box will be about thirty feet, and
the weight is estimated at eight tons, Mr. Kee
ler has authority from the Pennsylvania
road to make a trial of the car on that road.
The improvement bids fair to take. the lead of
anything that has yet been offered for the cheap
and easy transportation of oil, as the advents.
gee it possemes are numerous, and will be appa
rent to all who are Interestea In the transporta
tion of oil. We commend It to the attention of
refiners and shippers, as well as to railroad
officials.
