THE HUMANITY OF HEROES.
It is a trite old maxim that no man is a hero to
his rctlet, and it le equally true, if uot 4 ,so pro
verbial, that the association of every day things
—of the ordinary customs, annoyances, com
plaints oAcvery daylife with historic men, drags
them doiwn from their pedestals, and places them
on the level of common humanity. For Instance,
in the case of Julius Caesar, what is more pro
bable than that he got his feet wet, and suffered
front:influenza to such an extent that he talked
through his nose fora week, after he crossed the
Rubicon ? And how much also it detracts from
the dramatic effect of his murder, to imagine
that
,robe "by envious Casca" and his brother
conspirators rent, in the hands of some stalwart
Rolligal washerwoman only the day before, un
dergoing a cleansing with soap and warm water?
The association of ideas is absurd, but the cit . -
cumetances are at least probable.
Leonidas at the pass of Thermopylae doubtless
had corns and grumbled because his sandals hurt
him, and it is reasonable to believe that the boy
Hannibal, when he swore on the family altar
eternal vengeance to Rome, went right out, and
played marbles, or shinny or similar games with
the other boys, or
,perchance amused him
self throwing stones at the Carthagenian Thomas
- cats 'which, howled along the moonlit fence.
Cincinnati's at the plough was a sublime specta
ele of angelfish and devoted patriotism ; and ye',
it is very li ely that his nose WB5 blistered by the
DIED.

sun, and that his horses had the heaves, or the
bole, or the blind staggers.
Demosthenes declaiming on the beach with
pebbles in his mouth probably felt that he was
making a fool of himself, and gazed around to
see if anybody was looking, and then Went lionie
with the toothache and felt the grit in his teeth
for the next three or four (lays; and so Cataline
may have had dyspepsia or rheumatism when he
rushed out from the capitol to his exile.
Imagine for a moment the spectacle of the
valiant Crusaders in the Syrian deserts, falling in
for grub, or Alexander the Great being obliged to
blow his nose in consequence of having wept for
more worlds to conquer.
Huns Sachs, in all probability, put soapstone
in his customers' boots, and Martin Lnther,when
he nailed that document of his upon the gate,
might, considclihng his excited condition, have
cracked his lingers, - and stuck them In his mouth
while he stamped with vexation.
How absurd it seems to think of Oliver Crom
well baying his hair cropped by a barber, sitting
in a chair with a towel around him, and the ton
sorial artist rasping his neck with a comb, and
asking Lim it he would have anything on It.
What a pitiable spectacle also is presented of
the weakness of human nature when we think of
George Washington getting out of bed shivering,
on a cold morning, and finding fault with Martha
because his clean shirt bad a button or two off;
or of the great Napoleon lying in bed trying to
get to sleep, but kept awake by striking at mos
quitoes with one hand.
Cornelia, the mother of the firacehl, is just
heroic when we ithagine her patching their
trownrs, if they wore any, itAi in her historic
ehAracter; but it detracte very much from the
dramatic effect of Charles. 11. in the, oak, when
we reflect that he probably barked We monarchi
cal shine climbing up the royal tree.
How do we know that William Tell had not
made a hearty breakfast on liver and onions be
fore It , went out to shoot the apple off of Albert's
head ? and what can be more probable that Sir
Isaac Newton, lying In the orchard, waiting for
that historic apple to fall, was bothered with
tAr.iddle bugs running up his lets and down the
back of hie neck This association of common
place things with heroic persons outrages every
(..11.s - t,-.,0f the sublime, but the great *men and
women of the world did the same common-place
things that we do now; and. doubtless, when
of 115 have climbed to our niche in the temple of
Fame, it will be forgotten that we ever ran in the
rut of ordinary humanity, or indulged in any of
the trivial occupations which make up the sum
of the life of even the greatest human bvings.

Qurizzes llc.rrL. LosooN Oct. 15, P. M.—
The latest reports received in this city from the
sent of war in the Pontifical territory, state that
skirmishes continue to take place between the
Italian revolutionary Invaders, aided by native
insurgents, and the forces of the Pope, at many
points of conflict.
The actual situation, military and' diplomatic,
of the Italo-Boman complicatiop remains un
changed.
The accounts by telegraph and mall of the
fighting, and Its probable results, arc very con
flicting. As is the case In the commencement of
almost every contest of arms—great or less—
both sides claim to have obtained advantages.
No very important engageni6nts have, how
ever, taken place, and the fighting Is of rather a
desultory character—the revolutionists moving,
for the most part, quickly from one available
point to another, and the Papal troops marching
after or in flank of them, as seems best to their
commanders.—lferald.

part of cavalry and artillery, had alshort time be

command of .Menotti Garibaldi, who is now
Gcntralissimo of the troops of the "Party of
Action." by virtue of a commission delegated to
him from his father, the General.
A sharp engagement ensued after the attack,
which ended in the defeat of the Papal troops.

JEHOPIE PARK RACES•
The Scene. the Attendance, and the
'rousts—A Rider In the -Hurdle Race
Thrown and Killed.
[From ttio N. Y. World.)
The prettiest racing scene on the American
continent was witnessed yesterday . at Jerome
Park by from five to six thousand people. The
weather was clear and cool. The woodlands
surrounding the amphitheatre were vivid with
rich October hues. The fields without, and -the
opien spaces and slopes within the Park were
cleanly shorn as just after a harvest. Rains had
laid the dust along the roads and washed it from
the walls and pinnacles and ornaments of the
buildings round about. The carriages, and hacks,
and vehicles of every curious sort, that brought
half the concourse from the city to the arch-ways
of the great southern gate, were scarcely soiled
above their tires.
The best society of New York was overwhelm-.
ingly represented at the course. The members of
the America Jockey Club were nearly all present.
StrangerS from other Staten, and from the interior
cities of the Empire State, were numerous. The
regulations were admirable: and the excitement
attending the races was free frOm the slightest
acrimony.
Four races were run. The first was a hurdle
race fur all age-,one and three-quarter miles over
six hurdles. Leatherlungs, Tycoon, Julius, Red
wing, Negi ha and Zara started. the latter bcing
1 . the favorite. Nearly all were "green" at hur
dles. Redwing led at the start, followed by
Zara. Julius. Leatheriungs, Tycoon and
Negiita. Zara catching up, cleßed first the
first hurdle. Redwing being second and
Le:alit:Things third. At the second hurdle Leant
erhui!!-s took the lead. followed close by Negrito.
which horse. in leaping, fell headlong,
throwing
Ins rider beneath hire, falling upon and crushing
his skull. The man. Martin Cassidy, who was
al out twenty-five years of age, anti leaves a wife
and children, was taken to a neighboring farm
house, here he lingered unconsciously about
twelve Minutes, and died. The remaining horses
kept on, Julius and Redwing clearing the fourth
hurdle together. Zara clearing it a length behind,
Lcathethrigs leaping fourth, and TyCoon fifth.
At the fifai and sixth hurdles, Julius was ahead.
Ile came in the winner of the'race in 3.35,1 1 ;.
The second race. handicap for all ages, one mile
and a ( j un rter. was won by Enchantressin the re
markable time of 2.1.2 y:. The list of entries will
be found h, the summary below.
The third race, for a premium of $6OO, Mile
heats, was run by General McMahon, Redwing,
Clement. and Wabashaw. McMahon was the
flivorlte. This was the exciting race of the day.
The first heat was led by Redwing from the
start. McMahon catching up at the three
quarter pole. but losing ground toward
the close, giving Redwing the heat in
1.46 1 ),.. The second heat was won
hardly by General McMahon in 1.48, Redixing
being second. The third heat, led by MeNfahon,
Redwing following near and closing up at the
three-quarter pole, was at the last won by a
gallant push by Clement, in 1.52.9;. Clement
now divided the good opinion of the betters with
General McMahon, which latter horse, however,
won the fourth and decisive heat by a neck, in
The fourth and last race of the afternoon, a
sweepstakes for two-year olds, entrance $l,OOO,
was run by Relentless and Northumberland; the
former coining in ahead in 1.51, after a close.well

Horrible Aturder—A Woman Chopped
to Death With an Axe.
[Front the Slemplaa Avalanche, Oct.
An inquest was held yesterday upon the dead
body of a ne,g,ro woman, named Eliza Merri
weather, supposed to have been murdered by
another negro named Sarah Merriweather. On
a view of the corpse the sight it presented was
ghastly and horrible in the extreme. The back
of the head was sundered triangularly by two
blows of an axe, and the space between the
stands of the triangle was one mass of bloody
jelly, the skull being rendered as soft as pulp,
which alone must have been enough
to have produced death. It appeared to us as if
the unfortunate woman had been struck with the
axe in front and felled. one blow, the first one,
rendering her almost insensible, and then had
turned, over on her face, when she received the
two other ones, either-of which would have been
fatal. The cause which led to this Most horrible
murder is supposed to be jealousy. It appears
that Sarah Merriweather was the wife of the man
Merriweather before the war, and had lived with
him a number of year, and we believe had
several Children by him. On gaining his free
dom, Merriweather also thought it
gave him freedom to take e - t new wife, wnich he
did in the person of Eliza, Who, thence after be
came known as Eliza Merriweather, he having
married her, and obtained a certificate of his mar
riage, we suppose, from the Freedmen's Bureau.
This rendered Sarah miserable, and she' remon
strated often with him on the subject, but he fell
back on the fact, that he had a certificate of his
marriage with Eliza. and that Sarah :had, now
that they were both free, no claims upon him,
end he would have nothing to do with
Sarah. This, it is supposed, made Sarah
infuriate, and made her determine
to have revenge. She accordingly
attacked her rival with an axe, and committed a
most horrible murder. The murder was com
mitted on Widow Pain's plantation, near White's
Station, about nine miles • from Memphis, to
summonedwhich the Coroner was on Sunday,
. and did not arrive in town until Monday morn
ing, having had much trouble in securing up:try
of Inquest. The verdict rendered by the juryikets
that Eliza )ferirweather came to her death by a
weapon supposed to be in the hands of Sarah
Memweather. , A Coroner's warrant was imme
diately issued for her arrest, and she was taken
before Justice ilildebrand for examination.
• 7iatere4ttng Murder Trial. •
(Front the Fort Wee Arid.) Grezotted
A-very interesting:murder trial closed last week
at the Elkhart circuit Court. The defendant was
Dr. Sebring, of • Noble-county. He was charged
with the murder of his wife by administering
arsenic under the following eireumstances: In
1861, the wife was thrown from a.horse and injured,
slightly r .lecording to the testimony of some wit
neesses; more severely,according to the testimony
of others. She was immediately confined to her
bed, under the medical care of her, husband, and
during her whole sickness - manifested more or less
of the symptoms of slow poisoning by arsenic.
She seemed at the time to mistrust her husband,
and sometimes refused to take medicine. Another
physician was called, who treated her for a short
time, during which she got better, the symptoms
indicating the presence of arsenic subsiding.
When again placed in char g e of her husband,
t „
rle grew worse, exhibiting th arsenic symp
toms as before. She gradually' eclined, the hus
band exhibiting but little affection or sympathy
for her.
She died on Saturday and was buried the day
following. The next Tuesday the doctor started in
company with Minerva Vt ick, or Winebonner,
woman who had a husband living at the time and
who had been staying at his house during the last
sickness of his with, to visit Fort Wayne, to attend
ft circus. After two nights' absence, they returned
home. The 'doctor Shortly after left for parts
unknown, and she followed him. They soon re
turned to Lawrence, Ind., and lived as man and
wife, under the name of David and Minerva
Adams. until he was arrested. The body of Mrs.
Sebring was twice exhumed. and portions of the
stomach removed each time for chemical analy
sis. They were examined first by two druggists
of Fort Wayne, and secondly by a Chicago
chemist, arsenic in quantities large enough to
have taken life being detected each time. • The
testimony of the Chicago chemist Was particularly
positive. The trial was conducted with great
ability on both sides. Jarees IL Carpenter,
pro:;ecuting attorney, and Hon. J. L. Wordeu,
of this city, appearing for the State: Hon. A.
Ellison, of Lagrange, and Judge Wildmand and
Fielding Priekett, of Noble county, for the de
fendant. By claiming that Mrs. Sebring had been
in the habit of taking arsenic to prevent concep
tion: that she might have died from the effects of
the fall, and that the arsenic might have been
given to her by the woman Winebenuer. the
counsel for the defendant succeeded in throwing
Ella' a degree of doubt upon his guilt that the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
Opening of the Subscription Hook at

American Citizens of African Descent
—Life at the White House—lnterest
ing Iteminlseences.
[From the N. Y. 'World.]
The proposition to raise a subscription for Mrs.
Lincoln's benefit has received the sanction of that
lady, and about five hundred letters have been
addressed to prominent politicians and colored
clergymen, calling upon them for donations. A
book has also been opened in Mr. Brady's rooms
on Broadway. where her wardrobe is on exhibi
tion, for the same purpose. The stream of visit
ors still continues, although but few purchases
are made. Among those daily to be seen in the
establishment is Mrs. Elizabeth Keckley, a Wash
ington sio,iiste, who was also the milliner of Mrs.
Lincoln, when that distressed and ill-used person
was the Ladv of the White Rouse. She rem Irks
rather plausibl3 that no such out-cry is made in
France when the Empress of the French sells her
wardrobe, and as Eugenie never wears the same
court dress twice and being the acknowledged
leader of the fashions, her cast•off raiments fetch
enormous prices, and on the day appOinted for
the sale, extravagant bids are offered, so, in re
ality, she rather makes than loses by these rapid
changes of toilet. Mrs. Lincoln, however,
is
under a number of disadvantages in selling her
wardrobe, as she neither was nor is a leader of
fashion, and In addition her dresses wore bought
at a period when gold was at <s2 50, and every
thing selling at double its value in greenbacks.
Now, dry goods are worth about a third of what
they then, cost, and in addition to that, being
second-hand, people expect to o'et them for
less. price. ` She also remarked'that people
here had not that reverence for loyalty and
former greatn a as in Europe, nor do they
poy particular respect to relies, and a new
not that
has in the eyes much more value than the
old raiment of he widow of a martyred Presi-.
dent. She said the politicians used to besiege
Mrs. Lincoln, and that presents would be sent to
her from people whom she had never seen. She
was courted for her supposed influence with the
President's wife, and they would oven come to
her after trying every means :in . their power to
get into the White House. .. As a last

bespattered with fulsome flattery from a vile
politician, who world insidiously ask for a favor,

flattering,.would find it difficult to refuse. This
was the case for the first few months; but Mr.

on to ask for place by office-seekers, took place.

LETTER FROM CHICAGO
gives a statement of Mrs. Lincoln's estate, and
the amount she has, or ouzht to have, in ready
money and real estate :
[correopondenee of the World,:
CurcAr:•., October 11.—Mrs. Lincoln was the
owner of a fashionable four-stery marble front
house, bought two years ago at a cost of eiti,ooo,
which could be sold to-day for :'i2;i.ooo. This
dwelling, is said to have been completely tar
nished in the most,elegant style, which furniture
was sold at auction, realizing almoSt their full re
tail value when Mrs. Lincoln discontinued house
keeping last summer. At the same time she parted
with a Valuable carriage and span of horses,
besides the usual appropriate accessories
of a first-class equipage. so that at
the beginning of the summer, or rather
late in the spring, Mrs. Lincoln must have had at
least $10,600 in ready money. She spent the
summer very quietly and economically at Racine,
situated a few miles from Lake Michigan. It was
pretty generally published that Mr. Lincoln had
accumulated eBs,9oo,which were invested in gov
ernment bonds on deposit in Washington. This,
with the addition of Mrs. Lincoln's personal estate
and the ;: , 25.000 appropriated by Congress,makes
the value of the personal estate inherited by Mrs.
Lincoln to be about illo,ooo, to say nothing of
the real estate described in the inventory of the
Lincoln estate recently published.
THE STATE OF EUROPE.
A Conversation with !Bismarck.
The special correspondent of the London Tek
finrph at Berlin, publishes, by permission of
Count Bismarck, the following minutes of a cer- ,
tain conversation he had with that distinguished
statesman lately:
The absorbing topic of the day being the' pro
bability of a Europearrwar, it was very natural_
that I eliould ask - Countllismitrek what he thought
upon the subject. He replied that he believed,
almost with Out qualification, in peace. "Prue
ilia," he aaid, "will never attack - France and
France, when she has got over the startling sur
prise that a prospect of German unity has been
to her. will speedily comprehend that such a
consummation, suppose it realized to the
utmost, in no way menaces her national pride
or her continental position. Meanwhile.
our attitude is almost a pass:ve one.=
We are threatening nobody,
coercing nobody,not
even persuading anybody. If Southern Wmany
gravitates towards us, be assured the griMtation
is a natural one, not one brought about by ma
nceuvres on our part. We shall not repulse our
brothers if they come to us with open arms; but
we do not yearn for anybody's property, and can
remain as we are for ten years or twenty, if Ger
many will let us. We have even held back where
we could have precipitated agglomeration; we
are content to be as we are; the pressure must
come from those who feel the want of change."
I inquired what impression the meeting at
Salzburg had upon the Minister President, and
whether the inferences and inventions of an ex
cited journalism had had any effect upon him.
"None whatever," her answered, "what I have
thought and think of the Salzburg, affair is em
bodied in my circular of the 7th; and neither I
nor any., other reasonable- mall believed in
the feasiblity of an Austro-French alliance,
nor feared its consequences, if effected,
to Prussia. !Austria cannot be the ally of France
against Germany ; it is the German element
in her that Is the good cement binding the bricks
of her enormous house together. We.:wish well
to Austria, and hope to see her reemikruct her
might round an intelligent, free German nucleus.
I, for my part, desire for Prussia nothing better
than a firm alliance with a constitutional King
of Hungary, Who, as Emperor of Austria al
lows the German element in his other provinces
full play. If Salzburg had been a French failure,
as some ill-natured people chose to say It was,
it could not alarm us; being what it was, we
attached no political significance to it whatever."
Touching upon the chalices of proximate war in
the East, his ExcellencY said very positively, "I
do not believe in it. People do not know what
Russia's real condition is. I do. Russia has
Eastern proclivities, and would like
,perhaps to
assert them, but she can only do so in ,a great
manner. Her position precludes her from half
measures. and she is really , not able to commence
a long and costly Iva?. - Russia has a .great
future before her; she has elements of strength
far surpassing those; of any other empire or
kingdom.
"She is almost unassailable, but she is like a
strong and healthy man attacked by indisposi
tion. If he will only lie up for three days, and
keep quiet, the native vigor of his constitution
will triumph over his illness, and he will rise as
strong as ever. But if he will insist upon going
out, walking about and transacting business
abroad just as if he were, well, his malady will
probably lay firmer Befit upon him and bring
him to serious straits. Two or three days in the
life ofal'inan mean ten, twenty, thirty years in
the life of a nation."
As to the amalgamation of the new provinces
with Prussia, and their ultimate reconciliation
with their new conditions of existence. Count de
Bismarck seemed not only hopeful but confident
of success. "In Hanover," he remarked; "we
are going on as well as can be. The intelligence
and commercial elements of the province are on
our side—only the Ritterschaft and the
dependents on the late Court are against
us. The King has sent them an excel
lent and honest gentleman “2thent Stonag)
as Governor, and they have just opened their
Provincial Dlet, of which the majority are well
disposed towards Prussia. Frankfort has been a
little neglected, for more than one reason; but I
have given the Frankforters my word that they
Shall be put upon a proper footing, and I shall
keep it. Prussia has much upon her hands, but
as the inheritrix of the obligations legally In
curred by the provinces and towns recently an
nexed to her, she will honorably fulfil nor en
gagements."
