Mr. Ruskin thus • laments, m ore such the.
alteration of nature, bymodern civilization:
"This fifst'day - stif Nay, 1869; I am - IWriting:
where.my work was begun thirty-five years')
ago,within sight of the snows of the I higli,erf.
Alps. In . that half of the permitted . lite of
man I have seen strange evil brought upon
every scene that I best loved; or tried to make'
beloved by others.. The light, which once,
flushed those pale summits with its rose at dawn,;
and purple at sunset, is now sunbered and faint,,.
the air which once inlaid the clefts of all their ; .
golden crags With azure-is . .now -ddfileil—Witlf
languid coils of smoke, belched from worse
tl : n volcanic fires; their very glacier waves are
ebbing, and their snows fading, as if hell had
breathedonthem;„ the waters that once sunk a •
their feet into crystalline rest, are now dimmed
and foul, from deep.' to deep, and shore to
shore. These are no careless words;. --they are
:accurately, terribly true. I. know .what the
Swiss lakes were; no pool of Alpine fountain
at its' source was clearer. This .morning, on
the Lake of Geneva, at half-a-mile from the
beach, 'I could scarcely see my oar-blade a
fathom . deep. The light, the air, the waters are
all defiled! How •of the earth itself? Take
this one fact for type of honor done by the •
modern Swiss to the earth of his native land.
There used to be a little rock at the end of the
avenue by the port of Neufchatel;' there, the
last marble of the foot of Jura, sloping to the
, blue. water, and (at this time of the year)
covered with bright pink tufts of Sa
ponaria: I went, three days since, to gather a
blossom at the .place. The goodly native
rock and its flowers were covered with the dust
and refuse of the town; but, in the middle of
the avenue was a . newly-constructed artificial
rockery, with, a fountain twisted through a
spinning spout, and an inscription on one of its
loose tumbled stones : •'Auk - Betinistes, le club
Jurassique. Ah„ masters of modern science,'
. give me back my Athena out of your vials, and
seal, if it may be, once more, Asmodeus
therein. You have divided the elements and
.united them; enslaved them upon the earth,
and discerned them ,in the stars. Teach us,
now, but this of them, Which is all that man
need know—that the Air is' given to him for •
his life ; . and the Rain for his thirst, and for
his baptism; and the Fire for _warmth; and
the Sun for sight; and the earth for his meat—
and his Eest."
Ex mining the origins of mythS,.the author
'findS them referable to tWo sources—one, ac-
teal and historical, represented by the fancy
, .
under figures personifying them,—the other,
due "tonatural phenomena, similarly endowed
with life by the imaginative power, usually
more or less under the influence of terror.",
We' have but to look at the latter with the
earnestness of old to understand them in the
old way : • .• . '
"And then, in all the most beautiful and ,en
during, myths, We .8110 find, not only a literal
story of, a- , real -:person-not only a parallel
imagery of moral principle—but an underlying
worship of natural phenomena; out of which
both:have sprung, and in which both forever
remain rooted. Thus, from the real rising and
setting;—from the real atmosphere, calm in its
dominion of tinfading blue, and fierce in its
descent Of tempest—the Greek forms first
the idea of two entirely personal and cor
poreal gods, whose limbs are clothed in divine
flesh; and whose brows '.are crowned with di
vine beauty; yet Boreal that the quiver rattles
at their shoulder, and the chariot bends be

The San Francisco Bulletin, of July 21, has
the following:
"The doubts which have been entertained'as
to whether the Avitor can fly were successfully
solved to-day, at the Industrial Pavilion. By
invitation of Aerial Steam Navigation Com
pany, our reporter visited the Pavilion at 11
Welock_to.dayr-whcratho-Avitor-has-been-put
together-for a public trial. The machinery has
been already described by us;•but some Moffitt
cation has been made in its construction. In
brief, it is a cigar-shaped balloon, inflated with
hydrogen gas. It is apparently fortyfeet long,
ten to fifteen feet in diameter, with a light
framework around it, of bamboo and pine,
with nneffin planes on each side to raise the
machine. A ribbed propeller—shaped like a
•steaus.hip's--of` bamboo and muslin on each
ride` at the centre, propels the machine ahead;
,the power being an alcohol steam engine

steer it, but taut much use was made of it.
f1it..12 o'clock a largo number of members
of the press and several of the -Chicago party,
vngineers and others had assembled. .After
considerable. delay the inflation was coin
pleted, so that the Avitor was able to main

the miniature steam engine, when it started
easily:ahead, the propellers turning at about
sixty to eighty revolutions per minute. The
machine was; propelled,at a speed'equal to a

CITY BULLETIN.
.01:WARE OF PicknociitErs.—A few, words
~in regard to a favorite 'method adopted by
Itiekpockets, known as "k - nucks," to success=
fully ply, their nefarious vocation, may serve
to place the readers of the Butztrix on their
guard against the encroachments of these
light-fingered gentry. Pickpockets, as .a
general thing, are tolerably well-dressed, and
so far :as outward appearance is concerned,
might readily pass for gentlemen.: Those of
the fraternity who have made the profession a
sort of science dress_ with scrupulous : neat
nese, are at times exceedingly polite; pleasant
in sPeech,' and affect such unestentatious
: nem that they seldom . : fail .to
make a favorable impression upon society.
There are others Who do not come up to this
standard; they are simply used as confede
rates or "pals," their business' being to hide
the plunder "forked" by their superiors. The
favorite resort of the fraternity of pickpockets
: for the purpose of pursuing their profession
was;Tor several. years, the street carsvgene
rfilly-tinwe whi clistatted - from - railroad - depots
immediately after the arrival, of the 'trains, or
at the places of amusement at the time of
closing. These thieves would select crowded
cars, and so well arranged were their plans,.
that they never came in conflict with
each other. 'At . - the present time
they deviate a little from the old practice.
They do not always select crowded cars. They
get on the rear platforms of cars very nearly
full,' and insist upon standing , there, always
being ready with some plausible excuse, such
as ."going to get off :directly"—"only , going a
couple of squares," or, "it's too hot in there."
At such a time their plan of operation is as
follows:—The car stops for one or 'more pm
sengers;who find some difficulty in effecting
an entrance. The crowd opens the way, and
as the Passenger passes onward his hat is
slightly pushed froni behind so as to nearly
cover his forehead. This is so adioitly
accomplitilied by the thief as' to throw the
passenger aforesaid off his guard. He puts his
Land up to readjust his tile, and at the same
rnonient the slientific "'muck" relieves him of
Lis pocket bokk,..or other valuables Which lie
hands to a "pal," who gets off and iiisappears.
The hat-tipping business is quite a ,favorite
practice, although it is not always attended
with success. Persons who meet with such au
event, either in getting on railroad cars, or
while waiting at ticket offices in depots or
at places of a musements,should remember these
words of caution. Professional thieves of
all kinds are subject to ninety days' imprison
ment if• found in any place or in any street
crowded with people, but there are few or no
police officers at the present time who can
identify them - as - such. The public should,
therefore, exercise more than usual caution.
In case any oneshould feel hiehat move from
behind, in the manner above Stated, whether
on a crowded platform or any other place, as
already indicated, let that person immediately
turn round to the one behind him and say,
"I'm on that myself." After that he may fee)
perfectly secure froth further annoyance on
that occasion.
FORGED WARRANTS.—Quite a number of
forged warrants have been passed on a num- .1
her of banking houses within the past month,
but only in one instance were' the facts made
known, secrecy being' considereq necessary in
Order to effect the ends of justice. This is a
miserable subterfuge. The more publicity given
to such transactions the more will the public be
placed upon guard. The thieves themselves
like secrecy, and why should police officers
be like them'?
There is evidently only one
person engaged in making out these warrants,
and h 6 uses engraVedii„,o - natures of the officers.
The individual doing this work is the equal
of Thichanan Cross, and is well known to him.
He has been in prison on several occasions,
but was released by that great friend of coun
terfeiters and forgers Andy Johnson. Suspi
cion rests upon this individual, but he is shrewd •
enough to cover up his, tracks, and so far he
has avoided arrest. Proof is all that is wanted,
and this seems to completely stagger the new
detectives, and the expert forger can "laugh
in his sleeve" at them. The other day he
passed several hours at Fairmount Park, and
entered into (pike a conversation with some'
of the laboring men there. It is not likely that
he will be arrested, because officers who have
"piped" him for two months have given up the ;
"job" in disgust. Now that the forged war
rant scheme has.been exposed, it is not likely:'
that - anymore will be passed.
EEPO.RTEIt ASSAULTED.—in obedience to a
summons, one of the reporters of the city ap
peared before the Examine-11in the contested
election' case, and gave evidence in regard to
the issue of Supreme Court naturalization
papers. His testimony was pretty severe neon
one of the Fourth-Ward crowd. On Saturday
night, about twelve o'clock, while the gentle
man was sitting — orillfe:wep at the office of tlie
l'eliceAnd Fire Alarm Telegraph, the Fourth
Warder mentioned stepped up and commenced
calling him all_sorts of_narnes in order_to_pro,
yoke an attack. The gentleman, however, re
tired into the office, :where he remained until
daylight, under the advice of his friends. His
assailant went among his friends who were on
the opposite side of the street, and a few min
utes afterwards the party scattered. Some of
them were observed an hour or two afterward
posted about the neighborhood, and they were
evidently lying in wait for the gentleman who
had excited their enmity.
PLEASANT Exconsiorr:—The very pleasant
weather prevailing just now renders traveling
agreeable,
and the opportunity of taking a
short tripfrom the city is being eagerly em
braced by those whose occupations prevent
them from leaving for any great length of
time. The Camden and Amboy Railroad
Comptmy, bearing in mind the popularity of
New York Bay excursions in former times,
have arranged fiioi one on Wednesday, August
4th. A special train Will be rim to South Am
boy, leaving Philadelphia (Walnut street
wharf) at 7A. M. The excursionists, on thitir
arrival at Amboy, will take the splendid
steamer William Cook, pass down the Bay;
through the Narrows, up the Hudson River,
thence to South Amboy, returning to this city
about 8.30 P. T. McClurg's celebrated Baud
and Orchestra will accompany the excursion,
and discourse sonic sweet music. Tickets can
be obtained at 811 and 828 Chestnut street, and
at the United States Hotel, foot of Walnut
street.
00T 124 0 Ars - •Am.—E. 31. Lingo was.hefore
Alderman Carpenter, this morning, upon-the
charge of assault and battery with intent to
kill. Last night, between ten and eleven
o'clock, a man and a woman were walking
along Delaware avenue, below Walnut street.
Lingo, it is alleged, went up to the couple and
attempted to get the man away. The latter
resisted, and Lingo, it is charged, fired two
shots at him, but neither took effect. He then
struck the woman a violent blow in the mouth
and knocked her down. The tiring attracted
the attention of Policeman Dalton, who ar
rested—Lingo. The a
latter was resced :by, his
brother, J.-H.-Lingo, : but both men were,
rested afterwards on a .steam barge, where
they were employed. E. 31. was held in $1,060

At a meeting of the London National Society ,
for Woman Suffrage, held-in London on the
17th of July, Hon. John Stuart Mill made a
speech.
Mr. Mill, who was received with loud and
continued applause, congratulated the society
upon the success of thiseffort in- po--,
litical - organization -- The admission of women
to the franchise, which not long since. was a
mere protest on behalf of ,abstract right, had
now grown into a definite Political aim, se
ribusly pursued by many thousands of active
adherents. - He had always held the opinion
that women had the same right Ito the
sufirage as then,and - it -7had—been---his
good-fortime—t-o-L-know- _many_Andies,_very_
much better fitted to I exercise it than the
majority of the men of - his acquaintance:
Nevertheless, he confessed that he was not
prepared - for - the - largermountof-sympathr;
and support which this movement had re
ceived. That success would be unaccountable
were it not for some important allies that had ,
been at work in their behalf. The first vet'
these was the sense of natural justicd. - They
were fighting against disabilities and disquali
fications, and claiming equal chances and op
portunities for, both halves of , mankind.
A Other auxiliary at work for theta was the
pr gress of the age. All the tendencies • that
eh, racterized modern improvementwere7 - air
their side; the 'growing aseendency of moral
over physical force, of social influences over,.
brute strength, or the idea of right oYer the
law of might; the philanthropic spirit, that
which seeks to raise the weak and the op
pressed ;
the democratic spirit, the disposition
to extend •political rights, and to deeni any
'class insufheiently, urotected •unless it had a
voice in choosing those by whom the laws are
made ; the free-trade virit ; the force of the
new conception of human improvement and
happiness, the habit of estimating human
beings by their intrinsic worth, by what they
are and what they do, and not by what they
are born to-all these were powerful aids in the,
works they were undertaking. Every im
provement that characterized the present age'
would be found tending in the same direction.
Not one of them would be thoroughly realized
and perfected unless women, with all their
moral and intellectual capabilities properly de
veloped, were associated in the work; and the
pedantic nonsense talked about theproper
sphere of woman would appear thoroughly ri
diculous when pleaded as an excuse for ex-..
eluding them from the minor matter of politics
when their assistance could not be dispensed
with in the most arduous. Look, for instance,
at education, the one great cry of the day. Were
they going to educate a nation without the aid
of women? Women were the acknowledged
best teachers of young children, and numbers
of them were eager, both professionally and as
volunteers, to put their hand to the work, the
only hindrance to their being equally capable
instructors-to-more-advancedpupils- was-that
they could not teach what -theyhadriot liebn
allowed to learn. In" the Northern States of
America a large majority of the teachers were
women. Was it likely, then, that'when
women found theniselves side by side with the
men of of the present, teaching and training
the men of the futnre, they would believe in
the right of their . pupils to • :politi
cal supreMacy over them? Would
they feel themselves less worthy of a
vote than the men who had been taught by
them how to use their vote ? He would like
to see the face of the man so taught who
Would stand up and refuse it to them. Turning
to the mismanagement el the poor, he von
hired to predict thatthe great' national ques
tion would never be successfully treated till
women took their proper, and, perhaps, the
princiPal share
,in its management, both in
the workhouses and hospitals for the poor.
Those , who best knew how to manage a
household would be . the best calculated to
manage a 'workhouse; and so with regard to
all that concerned the details of public expen
diture, what superintendence would be equal
to that of an experienced mother of • a

Until the Medicaid profession Was opened to

More and more that the services of women
were wanted'for other uses than to "suckle
fools and chronicle small beer." Many
were now saying that women should be
better educated in order that they might
be able, to educate ,men ; and; truly, if they
were to educate men, the education of
a well-educated man could hardly be
denied' to them. But these very moderate re
formers fell into the mistake about women
that was made about the working classes—.
people were willing to educate them, 'butex
pected them, after being educate,d,to content
themselves with the same treatment which
they had met with'before. That could not be.
Those who were fit to train men for their
work-would think themselves-fit-to share in
that work." The higher, education of women,
and their political emancipation, were awe to
go forward together.. They might safely
affirm; then, that their cause was
powerfully backed, since it had for its
allies the great forces which were everywhere
at work striving to improve the world.
Their success would greatly strengthen all
those forces,
_and they, by their increasing
strength, would help on that success ; whoever
helped forward one beneficent object would
prove in the end to have promoted many
more. Their business was to go on as a society,
doing that which they had hitherto done,
striving for the suffrage and for the suffrage
only, gain that, and whatever was desirable
for woman would ultimately follow'; but until
that was gained, nothing was obtained that ,
might not be resumed at the caprice of our
rulers. The great practical distinction between
those who could protect themselves and
those who were at the mercy of others
was, the political franchise. Even in
America it was found that to abolish slavery
was not enough ; the uegroes could not be
really free until they hs,d the franchise.
Representative assemblies, in the election or
winch they had uo voice, inflicted or permitted
treatment which would have reduced them to
a condition almost worse than their previous
state. The extension of the suffrage,- so long
as women were excluded from it, was a posi
tive injury to them. The sulfrage was the .
turning point in women's cause; that, alone
would insure them anhrqual hearing and fair
play. With it they eould not be denied any
just right, or excluded from any fair advan
tage. All, therefore, should aid this enterprise
as the best means of accelerating the particu
lar improvementin which they felt a special
interest. He concluded by moving "That this
society declares its strong conviction that it is
in the highest degree unjust and impolitic to
make sex the ground of exclusion from the
exercise of political rights."

THE CODE:
Duel Between Convicts at the Auburn
State Prison.
(From the Auburn (N. Y.) Evening Advertiser, July 30. J
An "affair of honor,".
" resulting from astaud
ing; quarrel, managed strictly in accordance
with the code, came off between two "State'
men" at the prison immediately after break
faiit Friday morning, with all the accessories
of seconds and blood-letting. The principals
were Mr. Deming, Esq., H. C. (kitchen cook),
and the Honorable Mr. Gibson, waiter in the
collar shop. Deming being the chal
lenger, Gibson had the right , to
the choice of weapons, and being incapaci
tated by reason of htlart disease from using
flsts,declared for swords or knives. The swords
not being furnished by the State, knives were
accepted, and by their arbitrament the arbi
trators were to stand or fall. PrelimluarieE L
arranged,,the Bladensburg .of the encounter
:w .;
as located in the ice house; to which Deming
repaired, armed with his professional weapon,
keen-edged Damascene 'bread-knife; Gibson
rendezvousing at the spot with' a trusty shOe
knife from his collar shop. With undaunted
mien 'rind chivalrous' ' bearing the.' doughty •
knights Of tlie"stripe PrOodeded with their pro
fessi tools to mortal combat,their attendant
esquires at hamrand eager for the fray:
• As they met, Deming, with his brea4-knife;
sliced his opponent's with a ten-inch cut
:of the.r scalp, receiving in return a scientific
•leather cut from the square-ended, shoe-knife,
which inflicted a flesh wound, from the side
around, to the stomach, some three inches deep
and ten inches long, touching - up the ribs and
I developing sangiuniously. At this stage of
the affair a professional, from the meat-cellar,
rushed in w - ith his beef-cutting implement, or
battle-axe, to the relief of his principal; when
the further progress of the duel was obstructed
by the descent of the "pollee," and the
wounded men were turned over to the sur
geon. We are informed that there are no
hopes:of a fidal.termination of the casualties.
