Lippincott have in press, among other works, a book of reference, displaying patient care, practised method and vast eru dition—nothing less, in fact, than the long promised "Lippincott's Dictionary of Univer sal Biography; ' a complete Pronouncing Dic tionary of Universal Biography and Mythol ogy, containing Notices of ttie E.ninent Per sonages of all ages and countries, with the Correct Pronunciation of their Names, edited by J. Thomas, M. D., author of the System of Pronunciation in "Lippincott's Pronoun cing Gazeteer of the World." The same firm promise the "selected works of Dean Swift, with biography, por trait, etc., in a luxurious octavo. Messrs. Lippincott, observing the appear ance of Harpers' cheap and ugly edition of Abe already-popular "Greater Britain," by Wentworth Dilke, have flanked that clever movement by a eheap but not ugly issue, which they are able to sell at 90 cents in cloth. The other editions are priced respec tively ,53 00 and $1 50. Grim Females (From the Saturday Review.) Almost all histories and mythologies em body the idea of a race of grim females. Whether as fabulous and complex monsters, like the Sphinx and the Harpies, or in the more human forms of the Fates and the Fu ries, unsexed women have been universally recognized as forming part of the system of nature, and to be accepted among the stran ger manifestations of human life. Yet it, is hard to understand why they should exist at all. As moral; "sports," extravagances, ex aggerations, they are so far interesting to the anthropologist; but, as women with definite duties and fixed functions, nothing can be less admirable. They are even worse than effeminate men—which is saying everything. The grim female must be carefully distin guished from the masculine woman, for they are by no means'essentially the same, though the types may run into each other, and some times do. But the masculine woman, if not grim but only Amazonian, has often much that is fine and beautiful in her, as we see in her great prototype Pallas .Athene; but the grim female pursing is never noble, never beautiful; and the only meaning of her existence—the only mission nhe seems sent into the world to fulfil—is that Of serving as a warning to the young as to what to avoid. The grim female is not ne cesSarily an old maid, as would appear likely at first sight. We find her of all conditions indifferently—as maid, wife, widow, as mo ther andnhildless alike—and we do not find that her condition in any way affects her character. If she is born grim, she remains grim to the end; and neither marriage nor motherhood modifies her. The grim female ofnovelists is generally an old maid; but a eat autute, painted in the broadest lines and from the outside of things. She is emphati cally an odd woman; odd in her dress, her mode, her state. She wears a flapping cap, Pkimry skirts, and rusty brown mittens on her bony lumils; she has a passion ate aversion to men and matri mony; and she lives queerly behind a barri aided house door, with a small slavey, or an elderly female affiteted with deafness, to do her work and bear the brunt of her temper. But she is always odd, and unmarried, and unflishionable, and unlike everyb.)dy else, and could never be mistaken for an ordinary woman from the first moment when she ap peors on the page to the last paragraph of her existence. Now the grim female of real life may be one of the most conventional of ter se.x; in fact, she generally is one who rules her household with a rod of iron care fully wrought after the pattern of her neigh- hors' rods, and to whem a ',dish set awry of , 14 . 5i0cond7best ,- ,4 l ilia instead of. the best ] ,OUnte` for as great Via moral ' 1 delis . quiriny is - her ' ' servants as, 'a . breach of ,one of :,the ten commandaiente; She' is a woman who regards ,being but Of the= ' fashion, or foremost in the fashion, as equally reprehensible, and to'whom' dress is `among the most important matters of life. Where fore she is notorious for a certain grim gran deur of style, as one who respects herself by her clothes, and - is - known among other women as possessing handsome lace and costly velvet in profusion. Are not lace and velvet de ri,gueur for women of condition ? and what is the grim female but the embodi ment of the "rigor of the game" in all mat ters 1 .._:Therefore She clothes herself eumptu- •• ously, without elegance or taste, and would as'soon be seen abroad in her dressing-gown 'Enid Slippers as without 'characteristic heavy Mantle or rustling silk-gown. But the artist s little wife, ih her fresh muslin , and nice ad mixture of colors, sails round her for grace and beauty at about one-twentieth part of what the grim female's stately ugliness has cost. One characteristic of the grim female is her want of any of the womanly passion for children. She may, have so much, maternal instinct perverted as to be on friendly terms with a dog or two, a cat, or may be a cocka too; but she has no real affection for children, no comprehension of child nature, and the usublime nonsense" of the nursery is a thing nknown to her from first to last. If stiehas children of her own, she treats them in a hard wooden way that has nothing of the ideal mother about it. She generally sees that they are properly cared for, because she is a disciplinarian; but, though she is inexorable on the score of cold baths and "no trash," she never condescends to the weakness oflove. If her little ones are sick, they are set aside and dosed until they are well; if they are naughty, they are punished; but they never know those moments of tender indulgence which help them over a period of indisposi tion not severe enough for actual doctoring, yet throwing them out of gear, and inducing a spell of what ignorance calls naughti ness. Rhadainanthus was a weakling. com pared to the grim female in her nursery; and what she is in her nursery she continues to be in the school-room, and the drawing room to follow. Her children are alway 6 causes of annoyance to the grim female, and the first stirrings of individuality, the first half-unconscious trials of their young strength, are offences she _cannot away with. Children and inferiors they-are in het eyes, even when grown up and,,,married, and she exacts from them the humility and deference of their lower condition. Hence she is one to whom the present generation is undeniably worse than the past, one who groans over the fol lies and shortcomings of the times, and who thinks that good conduct died out with her own youth, and that it is not likely, by the look of things, to be restored. In fact, youth itself is the root and basis of offence; and if she coerces children she tyrannizes over girls and snubs young men, with a quite impartial hand. - - The grim female is not necessarily a strong minded woman, or a learned woman, like those who wear spectacles, go to scientific meetings, and are great in the classics and the 'ologies. She maybe of the emancipated class, it all depends on chance; and a grim female, when of the emancipated, is a very formidable person indeed. But she is not necessarily one of these. On the contrary, part of her very grimness comes from her in tense conservatism and uncompromising con ventionality. Nothing is so abhorrent to her as innovation or novelty in any shape. Bhe does not hold with any one out of the nar rowest groove of respectable beliefs, in what direction soever the diverging 'line may go. A Romanist or a Baptist, a Jew or an infidel, it is all one to her, each is equally dreadful to her, and eternally foredoomed. She is of the orthodox Church, without fat- lals; as tar removed from Ritualism as she is from ranting, and demanding for herself that infal libility of judgment and absolute possession of the truth which she denies to the Pope and all his Cardinals. Beware how you broach new doctrines in her presence. She has been known before now to abjure her nearest relatives for no greater moral lapse than a weak belief in globules; while as for anything like graver aberrations, say on the ape theory, or on toe plurality of races, on historical religion or ou a republican form of government, she has no toleration whatever. If the Smithfield fires existed at the present day, the grim female would be the first to light the fagots. It is all the same if she be longs to any Dissenting persuasion; part of her grimness coming from her intolerance, and her own beliefs being simply the spring board on which she stands. Many causes produce the grim female. It may be that she is grim from sue ial pride as well as from natural hardness. If she has been used to live with people whom, rightly or wrongly, she considers her inferiors, she will probably queen it over them in a very unmistakable manner. The prelatic blood is renowned for this sort of thing, and a bishop's daughter, or an archbishop's grand daughter, or Mrs. Proudie, prelatic by mar riage only, it of the grim class, is one of the grimmest of her class. The halo of sanctity round the mitre and crozier will be greater in her eyes than the glitter of the strawberry leaves, and she holds herself consecrated by her birth to the understanding of every moral question, specially to the final settlement of every tough theological position. Or she may be grim because of her isolation and meagre intercourse with the world at large; such as she is found in the remoter districts. This kind comes Into the exceptional or nov elist's class, and is often mbre masculine than grim. These are the women who hunt an I fish and shodt like men, and who may be found in all weathers wandering alone about the mountains in short petticoats and spatter dashes—women who affect to be essentially mannish in person, habits, and attire, and who may be quite jolly easy-going fellows in their own way, or else grim and trenchant, as nature or the fit takes them. This is a kind not at all uncommon in country places among the higher class of resident ladies; ladies who are so highly placed locally that they can afford to disregard public opinion, anti who are so independent by disposition that they naturally go off to the manly side, and make themselves bad imitations, as the best they can do. , The grim female tries her strength with all new. corners. She is like one of the giants or black knights of old romance, who lived in castles or caves, whence they pounced like tigers on all passers-by, and either wrung their necks if they conquered, or retreated howling it' discomfited. This is what the grim female does in her degree. She dashes on all who are presented to her, and has a passage of arms as the first act of the new drama. If her opponents yield out of timid ity or good breeding, or perhaps from not un derstanding the warlike nature of the encoun ter, she puts her foot on them forthwith and ignominiously crushes them; if they defy her, and give back blow ibr blow, ten to one she cuts them, and becomes their enemy for ever after. For she has not breadth enough to be magnanimous, and the one thing she never forgives is successful opposition. Very grim is she in the presence of human weakness, moral and physical. Woe to that unhappy maid of hers who has slipped on the narrow path of prudence! She will be turned out f perish with no more compunction than if e were a black-beetle to be s apt out of the way. As a nurse, the grim female is precise, punctual, but inexorable. She would give the patient a fit 'of nervous, hysterics that would throw him back for a week, rather than allow him awe minutes' grace in the matter of a painful ope - Vtittiff6 .

Had she lived,, and lived unsoftened, she would have been one unbroken mass of iron and granite, without a soft spot anywhere. Her very love was fiercer than other women's hate- her strength was . More terrible than a man = s anger, and her passions were fiery as furnace flames. Of'all the examples we could cite, she seems about the fittest for our model. A grim female has no mercy. She may be just, but if she is so, it is in - a hard uncom promising way that makes-her justice worse than others partiality. For justice can be sad, even if unwavering; and the- grint female is never sad, how painful Beaver- the work on t hand and the sentenceo be executed. Neither is she gay; for she is not plastic enough to - be either one or the other. tsne- is 'run - into an iron mould, where her nature is compressed as in a vice, and she allows of no expansion, no lipping over, no hirating Of. bounds any how. W hat would become of us if all our women were like her? Without any of the little feminine weaknesses at which we have our laugh, and yet Which we do not wholly dislike—without any of the pretty, coaxing ways which we imow warp our better judg ment and take us out of our strict course; and yet how pleasant that warping process is! —without any even of the transient petulances which give so much light and shade to woman's character, the grim female stands like an old-world Gorgon, turning liv ing flesh and blood to stone. When we look at her we are inclined to forgive all the smallness and silliness which sometimes vex us in the ordinary woman, and to' think that there are worse things than the love of dress for which we so often reproach our wives and daughters; that flirting, which is reprehensible no doubt, might be exchanged for something even more reprehensible; and that vanity, of the giggling coquettish kind, though to be steadily discouraged and sternly reproved, is not quite the worst feminine thing after all. Surely not !—a grim female who cannot flirt nor giggle, nor cry and kiss and make up when scolded, is far away a worse kind of thing than a feather-headed lit tle puss who is always doing wrong by reason of her foolish brain, but who manages some how to pull herself right because of her loving heart. Weak women, vain women, affected women, and the whole class of silly women, whatever the specialty of silliness exhibited, are tiresome enough, heaven knows- ' but, unsatisfactory as they are, they are better than the grim female—that woman of no sex, born without softness or sympathy, and living without pity and without love. , REALITIES OF IRISH LIFE. Sketches by a Laud Agent. A book called "Realities of Irish Life," by W. Steuart Trench, land agent in Ireland to the Marquis of Lansdowne, Marquis of Bath and Lord Digby, has just been published by Longman in London. "From youth to man hOod,and from manhood to the verge of age," says Mr. Trench, "it has been my lot to be surrounded by a kind of poetic turbulence, and almost romantic violence, whictrr I be lieve could scarcely belong to real lifoin.any other country in the world." Mr. Trench has seen the Irish tenantry from the point of view of the agent of Irish landlords; has been among the scenes of violence which form so dark a chapter in the social history of Ire land, and, tastes us with him behind the scenes. His tales have the additional at traction of being literally true. Passing over the events of the author's youth, when "O'Connell's police," as the Liberator's ragged escorts were called, had nearly killed him for not taking off his hat as the great man passed by, Mr. Trench brings us to 1840, the time when the Ribbon Oun spiracy was at its height. His first experi ence of au agrarian outrage occurred in the May of that year. "On a beautiful, bright, sunny day, at noon, I was riding with a friend to the ses sions at Burrisokane. I heard a faint report at a little distance in the fields as of a gun or pistol, but took no notice of it, when al most immediately afterwards a man came running up a lane to meet us, saying: " `011: sir, Mr. Hall has just been shot.' " 'Shot !' cried I, pulling up my horse, 'do you mean murdered?' "'Oh! yes, sir,' replied the man, 'he is lying there in the field.' " 'ls he dead?' I asked. " 'Stone dead !' was the man's reply; and as he said so, I never shall forget the strange mixture of horror and of triumph whica per vaded his countenance. "We rode on rapidly down the lane, and just where it emerged upon a little grass lawn, was the body of Mr. Hall. lie was a man apparently about fifty years of age, and his bald head lay uncovered on the ground. He was quite warm, but 'stone dead' lying in the open field. Numbers of people were working all around, planting their potatoes; but not a trace of the murderer could be tound." Mr. Trench wished at once to ride off in pursuit of the murderer, but a more experi enced friend assured him that the min was probably among those who were quietly looking on; and that afterwards proved to be the fact. A villain had been hired by a far mer on Mr. Hall's estate to kill him for five pounds, and a young man was selected to ac company him. The intending murderer fol lowed his victim as be walked in the fields on that bright May morning, and on O) oo casions as he approached him to fire, Mr. Hall turned round and thwarted him. Tlie rascal went back to his companion and de clared, with an oath, that the affair .was un lucky, and he would not go on with it. The young man swore at him as a coward, took the pistol from him, and coolly went up to Mr. Hall and shot him dead. He Wen threw the pistol away, and stood quietly with his hands in his pockets, mingling with the crowd who gathered round the body. His companion afterwards turned approver, and the youth was convicted and hung. The following strange scene occurred on the trial: "After the witness had detailed how he had himself undertaken to be the murderer, and had twice stolen behind Mr. Hall for the purpose of shooting him in the oack, and had only given up his design because he fancied it was 'unlucky,' the prisoner's coun sel said: " Then it was not your conscience which emote you?' "'Not a bit!' replied the man. " 'And you stole up behind the poor old gentleman to shoot him for money? said the lawyer " did.' "I suppose you would do anything for money?' "'1 would,' replied the man, quite unap palled, and growing desperate. --"The lawyer still continued to excite ; " 'You would shoot your father for money, I suppose ?' "'I would !' exclaimed the man, furiously. "'Or your mother ?' "'I would.' 4 "Or your sister?' " would.' "'Or your brother ?' continued the coun sel. , 4 •'*`lky, or yourself either l' cri , the 41012-,, 4z :, Tiated4 4i un, elmost,leaping , Ffro Ibis chefrit' ar!tttun#l44,KOtmd spludderily'W thinAlewf feet of ihis loross-effaMineiTir 40 that his utidally*fidanitted nerve secnotd ; nl:most apg , phl ed bythe ferocity ortheadvaga,.' "' i v ~.. hen the,,p6tato. blight had, passed, and emgratiOn had begun- : to' ichange the whole,;l condition of the Irish agricultural classes, Mr. Trench became agent to Lord. Bath. The rents were £30,000 in arrear, and he began by'offerlng help to` the insolvent to emigrate, <I it they, would quietly give up their land. But among the tenants was Joseph McKey, the leader of the recusants on the estate. He offered a bailiff £5O to arrest Kelley; but the bailiff said; "Thank , your honor; £5O is very good, arid not to be earned every day; but life is sweet." $o there was nothing to do but to go and see 'him. Accordingly Mr. Trench rode over to his place alone. McKay, after a parley, admitted hint to the house, where he and two others were distilling po teen. After Some talk, Mr. Trench said, "And so, McKey, you are the terror of the country, and no one dares take you?" Malley looked restless, and replied, "No one has taken me." lie then went to a coat which was hanging on the wall, and showed a large brass pistol protruding from the pocket, then pulled it out and said, "That's what I frighten them with." It had neither lock nor barrel. Then they began to talk about the five years rent owing, and McKey took Mr. Trench into a room where were two chairs and a table and a billhook hanging on the wall.' McKey slammed the door, and Mr. Trench sat that it could only be opened with a key. He kept himself between MoKey and the billb.ook,which McKey confessed was his defender, sad they sat down With the table between them to discuss their grievances. Presently McKey became • excited, looked nervously at the billhook, and rose. Mr. Trench rose too, and drew his pistols from his pocket, and as MoKey drew himself up to his full height,the two men stood confronting each other with the table between them. Mr. Trench slowly raised his right hand and pointed his pistol full at McKey's face, who folded his arms and stood calmly looking into his opponent's eyes. Suddenly Mr. Trench felt that McKey was merely acting on the defensive and with a sudden impulse he threw the pistols on the table within McKey's roach, and said : "'You scoundrel, you know you dare not hurt me I' "He looked at me steadily, and then sit ting down gradually and quietly in the chair, without trusting himself to look at the pistols which lay loaded and cocked on the table before him, he put his hands to his head, leaned his arms on the table, and said in a low voice: " `What do you want me to do, sir ?' "'To eive me possession of your house and place at once,' said L 'and to come with me now into Carrichmacross; " 'I will air,' he replied. "He rose, put his iron finger into the place where the handle of the door should have been, and turned the bolt, and walking up to the other men in the kitchen, he said: 'Be gone out of that till I give up the place.' They stared at aim and were perfectly astounded. 'Begone, I say! he repeated, and he pushed them out of the room. "The yottng woman then came up to him —`What is this Joe?' she asked "'You must go,' said he, kindly. 'Datil talk—leave the house.' "She went at once. He put out the fire by kicking it about the floor, took 'sod and twig' from the garden, and handed me legal possession of the home and grounds. "'And now,' I continued, 'come with me into Carrickmacrosci.' "He hesitated; 'Sir, I will follow you in, but don't ask me to go with you.' " 'Why not?' I asked. "Because I always swore no man should ever take me alive, and if I was seen to go in with you,the people would say you had taken me prisoner.' 'I understand you,' said I; `can I trust you then to follow me?' "He seemed almost hurt at the question. 'I would not fail in my word for a thousand pounds!' " 'I have not a doubt of it,' replie I I, son I mounted my horse and galloped into Carrick- MaCrOSS. "I told my head clerk and cobtilential man all that had hapnenecl. He could not believe his senses and thought I had list mine. 'Well,' I said, McKay will be here within an hour; or I have been dreaming all the morning.' "'He will never come,' was his reply. "As the hour approached, 1 cont'ess I he - came very nervous and anxious; and at length, about the time I had stated, the clerk came Into my inner room looking sometvnat pale, and said, `McKey wants to see you in the office, sir.' "Then he was quiet, but firm as ever. I told him to return to his home for the present, and that I would see him handsomely pro vided for in America. He left and said no more. "The sequel was sad enough. He never reached America. * * * * ". Hearing that he was very ill, I resolved to go and see him once more. I rode to the house, and found poor Joe McKey lying on his bed, a corpse—the same stern mouth, the same noble forehead, but hollow and sunken cheeks. The young woman knelt beside him weep ing 'When did he die ?' I asked. "'This morning. sir, she replied, and her ears flowed fresh and fast. "'What did he die of ?' "'A decline, sir. He never got the better of that day. The people said you took him— which your honor knows was a rank lie— and it broke his heart, that they should say so 1" The victory over Mcliey so discouraged the Ribhonmen that they marked 6ir. Trench himself for murder. After the murder of Air. Bateson i of Carrickfergus, he became aware, by the confessions of the informer, how nearly be had escaped on several occasions on which men had laid await for him on the road. Meanwhile he was warned by a young woman that her sweetheart, who had joined the Ribbenmen, was on for the next yin. In quiring what this meant, he found that the order ler his own assassination had already gone forth, that the men charged with the murderous task were waiting to execute it, and this young man had been named as the agent for the murder of the next man who should be marked out as a victim. Mr. Trench, however sent the youth to America, and in a few months he came back quite another man, and took his sweetheart with him as his wife." lIIJNEDIIIREIHNO 000030 1 -4 4:::-1, toned il'AT.„ErKNalo'i 3 lPt fi r l l Nh o tleAr,rtiqoßuT'd . • A brown e Line i n B , ; ( l h e ll a dran's . and Velvet wi , a i* D G 6 Ll `.` l"l3 11.71 - tb e tAiTiigG GOODS, i 1 . r . : , , ,,,,..; oltr e r co d r za r ri o n f tion, very low, IU3 Choatnnt Ninth.

LeJ *WS :111 Fril szoll Tire BOCIRTY FOR AMELIOZIATING TUE MISERIES or Punnic PRISONS.—A meeting of this Associa tion was held last evening, in the Assembly Buildings, for the purpose of discussing the system of punishment practiced in this State. Mr. James J. Barclay, President of the Society, addressed the meeting, and, referring to a period of eighty years ago, said that the condition of those imprisoned at that time was shocking. The debtor was lodged in the same place with the criminal. In those days we had the gibbet and chains, and the system then adopted in allowing the prisoners to mingle together rendered refor mation next to irneossib'e. He asserted that to this society. founded in 1807, was mainly due the adoption of the present system. Jos. R. Chandler was then introduced, and said that this subject was one of the utmost import ance. The prisons abroad were at one time used as places of punishment only, but public senti ment began to require something more. The prisons of Europe were originally deserted castles or palaces, and not actually built for the purpose for which they were used. It was left for this country to set the example of making the place of confinement of the prisoner better suited to the work which is before him, to aid and assist him in throwing off the trammels of the world of iniquity in WhlCh lie moves. The system as now adopted of separating the prisoners is meeting with opponents, who say,to deprives man of communication with his fellow creatures is injurious to him physically and pro ductive of insanity. The experience of the speaker led him to form conclusions directly op posed to such an assertion. 'Tho great objection appears to be to, the sentence of solitary confine ment; but in fact it is not solitary. That cannot be termedisolitary which is broken three times a day by the officers to deliver the meals, where the transient visitor may see and talk with them, and where the Committee of this Society can by !law, and do, visit the prisoners. The Irish system has been much applauded, hut does not appear to be so well understood. Under that system a prisoner is sentenced to a term of solitary : imprisonment, and is kept closely confined for a while,- then taken out and put to work; and if ho behaves pretty , well, ho is ,given liberty to return, and for his protection a ticket-of-leave. The effectiveness of the : present Pennsylvania system has been fully demonstrated. Should an -appeal be made to prisoners confined in one cell, no effect will be produced, but taltd them alone in the separate cell, and an impression will far more readily bo made. There appears to be a desire to find reasons why prisoners should. be congregated to hear a minister. It is not the man, but the moral effect of what he says, that is to be regarded, and no good will arise to the prisoner who would be devout with a follow convict who will laugh the preacher to scorn at his side. • Ex-Judge Strong was introduced and spoke of the merits of the present system, and argued that : prisons are not now regarded as mere places of punishment for the offender against the laws, but also a place of reformation, through which he may, be restored to usefulness. In 1829 the Penn :sylvania system was adopted, and its results are before the world; and in the State of New York we htive the results of the congregate system, which has been set up in opposition to our Own. The statements of some of the gentlemen in the meeting at Pittsburgh were so extraordinary as to show that they cannot have been familiar with the 'results of the system.. The objections to our system are that it is expensive; that it Is cruel; and that It has a tendency to produce in sanity. The first be termed unworthy of a Chris tian community. It has been successful in de terring the commission of crime. In our prisons there is a less number in pro- portion to our population than hi New York, and :a much smeller • number rare tent back .04 second conviction Man : , in , , New` York; New Jer sey, ,or even In the morel kitato of Connecticut, where the congregate 'iyistem adopfed. The average of :our Sentences 15 Von! much shorter, it having been SOOII foul& that two• years under our system is equivalent to ten or twelve years in the other. These facts .ahow that _the Penn sylvania system is not.the most expensive. He deemed it the reverse of cruel, considering it niercifel,to protect the prisoner from the contact of others mom dftply steeped in crime, and af fording him an opportunityfor reflection and reformation. • So long as the human heart remains as it is, the descent to crime will be easy, -bat to-recover bard. In the congregate system, when the prisoner is discharged, , he may , meet' at any moment those who have seen and associated withlsim in prison, and be forced again into crime under a threat of exposttre, while be is en deavoring to reform. Ex-Governor Polio& and Rev. Dr. Beadle also addressed the meeting; the former in support of the present system, and the latter maintaining that under every.system thmoral welfare of the prisoner should be regarded. TEE TWITCHICLL Cass.—ln the Court of Oyer and Terminer the following reasons have been filed in support of a motion for a new trial for George B. Twitchell, Jr„ charged with the mur der of-Mrs. Mary E. Bill: 1. Because the learned District Attorney, in his closing address to the jury told them the commu nity had watched the case and the public feeling in it became intensified as the trial drew to a close. 2.l3ecattee he stated to them that the people were waltlug to see whether the spirit of homici dal violence was to be checked or continued. 3. Because he said that eight or nine hundred thousand persons wore anxiously awaiting the result of the trial. 4. Because the learned judge erred in charging the jury in these words: "I do not understand that there is any question raised hero on either side which ,squires me to trouble you with de finitions of the various grades of homicide." b. In charging upon the subject of the experi ments made In regard to the transmission of sound in the house at Tenth and Pine streets, he went over all the testimony except that of Officer Thorp in favor of, the prisoner. 6. He erred In charging that "a drop of blood was found upon the upper part of the blanket on the bed in the defendant's room." 7. He erred in charging the jury in language which left Inference that the defence wished to account for the blood upon the prisoner's shirt a - Ad cuffs by saving that It got there while he was carrying Mrs. Hill's body in from the yard; whereas, they meant that it got there from his other garments that were saturated with blood. 8. He erred In charging the jury that there was evidence of the defendant'irhaving spoken insult ingly of Mrs. Hill, whereas the only testimony in that regard was that of Joseph Gilhert,(onnded tit on incidents happening six months previous to the murder. 9th and 10th reasons were that he erred in his detail of the evidence. 11. He erred in firing the hour'of the murder instead of leaving that a question for the jury. 12. He omitted to touch upon vital evidence in favor of, the prisoner. 13. The verdict was against the law and evi dence. FIRE Lti TIM Sarum Wartn.—The alarm of tire last night, about half-past 9 o'clock, was Caused by the burning of the iron foundry, and pattern-making establishment of Rodgers Owens, in Lombard street above Twenty-fifth. The building, a one-story brick, faced on Lom bard street, and extended back to a small street on the south. Rodgers Owen had on hand a large stock of finished and unfinished castings, a greater portion of which wal intended for Murphy 41:. Co., car-builders. Nearly all of the stock suffered damage by breakage and water. The building is owned by the flrm,and with the stock, is insured in the fire Association to the amount of $3,000. The total loss will probably reach 538,000. The fire originated in the rear part of the building. - (Tiaradated for the Philadelphia Evening Bulletia.l I 0 UBII.IIOLD ItECLPES. BY BABB'S BIITSSE.

A French Editor In triso it. M. Ducasse, of the Avenir National of Paris, was one of the editors set to prison on account of the Baud.n affair. He describes his experience in Clichy, which was rather worse than that of Mr. Bowles in Ludlow street. On the 3d instant, at half-past three in the afternoon, I went up the Rue Blanche, ac companied by two friends. As we ap proached the Boulevard de Clichy we per - ceived a swarm of policemen running in all directions. Knowing the manner in which those agents of the public peace are accus - towed to act, we thought it would be prudent to turn back. I had scarcely ma de a couple. of steps when I heard some one shout behind me "Monsieur Ducasse, come on!" I turned round and saw a sinister -looking person pointing me out to two policemen, who were running down on me. I was very careful not to resist, knowing full well that the slightest sign of opposition on my part would be construed into the crime of rebel lion; I therefore allowed myself to be taken into custody. The man who caused me to be arrested cried out, laughing, "M. Ducasse, you are going away from the cemetery; we will show you the,way." I was then roughly ledroff to the Montmartre Cemetery. I was first of all put into a kind of shed, where there was a posse of policemen. At every moment some fresh "prisoners" arrived. After a lapse of two hours I was taken be fore an official-looking gentleman, who, I was told, was the oommiaaaire do polioe, and who inquired the cause of my arrest. The policeman, who had taken me into custody, replied that I had been signalled out to him by un petit/gm—that is to say, by one of the agents of M. Lagrange (head of the detec tive police.) The contmieoctire, who at once saw the weakness of the motive of ar rest, added that I had been walking on the boulevard more than two hours, and that I had refused to move on when told. After this each one who had been questioned was put in the middle of four policemen, and marched off between a double row of the Milne gentlemen to the Clichy prison. At nine o'clock we were put in couples into cells where one man alone could turn about with difficulty. From there we were trans ported to the depot of the Prefecture of Po lice, where we were platted, fifty-four in all,, in a damp room, and made to sleep on camp-beds previously occupied by thieves and vagabonds. In half an hour we were covered with vermin. In this position we passed two days and three nights, at the ex piration of which time we were conducted in prison vans to Mayas. Three days after, at the end of a second questioning, I was set at liberty. We were searched several times—at Montmartre, at the Prefecture, and at Mayas. ' and our hands were tied when we were led to examination. During the whole of the Bth, at the Pedals de Justice, we re mained in a fetid room, with only one little form, and a stove nearly red hot. At Mayas we had to put on the prison dress while our own clothes underwent the process of fumi gation. The policeman- who took me into custody does not remember the name of the man who told him to arrest me. If ever I. come across him I shall prosecute him before every possible jurisdi tion. r. irIANTON DIESER D.GINGER. PRESERVED Gingcr, in syrup. of t.` a celebrated Chyloong brand; ^also.
