THE NEW WORKS OF RErouff.
Ever since there was Anything upon
Which to operate there has been a constant
and feverish desire, on the part of somebody
or other, to "reform." Religions and go-
Vernments and people have teen renovated
4—changed sometimes with good results,
ometimes with bad, and sometimes with
rione at all. The manic, or whatever we
army call it, has extend-ld from the earliest
days down to our own, and found a develop
meat wherever there is the slightest room.
In our own country, where we are
said to be "progressive," our politi
cal parties have ehanged with the itlio
syncraeies of every leader or the force
of every circumstance. Religious denomi
nations, transplanted here from the Old
World, have rapidly lost their identity,
or found a " higher " state of perfection
in Fourieritisli nonsense, or Mormon pro
fanity and indecency. But, in most cases,
our American reforms have been emi
nently practical, even though they did not
always meet with deserved success. When
they failed, they failed because they were
too practical, and laid out too much
'Work for the powers of finite men. They
were attempted against habits or ideas—
parts of huroart nature—so firmly grown or
planted as to defy all other power but that
of miracles to overthrow or destroy them.
Reforms of fashions or attempted reforms,
have always jailed, because they were ideas
.--realized ones, perhaps, and short-lived—
but none the less ideas. Thus realized, they
'were pretty, or comfortable, or unique, as
the modistes say. Everybody who was
anybody, liked, patronized, and admired
them—clinging to them only the more tena
ciously when they were the most fiercely sa
tirized. And then there was the temperance
reform of a quarter of a century ago, directed
not so much against the immoderate use
of liquors as the immoderate use of
tobacco and opium. The attack on the first
failed. Old votaries of the weed fumed and
chewed in defiance of the innovators, but
the opium -eaters, who were fewer then than
they are now, were shamed into obscurity,.
Where they continued to dream unnatural
dreams of fabled paradises, and to ruin at
once body and soul. After this crusade
came the anti-liquor excitement and the
birth of the Mormon monster, not to, say
anything of the birth of spiritualism, and
the wild efforts to change some of our
religious denominations from directions
in which they were supposed to be
going, to others in which it was sup
posed they ought to go. The liquor re
form, with the aid of legislative enactments,
good examples, numerous meetings, and
thrice more numerous speeches, made some
little progress, but it eventually died out,
leaving alcohol to continue its work of dis
grace, poverty, and slaughter. There are
to-day, we are bold'to say, in proportion to
population, in our city alone, more drinkers
than there were twenty, or even five or ten.
years ago, despite
.the fruit from the good
seed the reform must have sown.
All these reforms were prominent. We
Only mention them because they were so.
There were others more quiet, which never
blazoned forth their claims to the public
eye, only appealing now and then in an
Unobtrusive way for monetary aid, al-
Ways working softly but energetically,
guiding the erring and succoring the needy.
They and their merits will ever remain in
the gloomy unknown in this world ; but
There is a bright, shining entry of their
good works, where the entry is most and
eternally needed. Vuring the war reforms
'were in abeyance. All our energies, theo
retical and practical, were dircetea to the
one great work of preserving the Union.
We resolved ourselves into a nation
of warriors—active and passive—fighting
US Well with the pen, the alembic, the Jorge
and the needle, as with the bayonet and
cannon-shot. No reforms were needed, be
Causeall reforms were impracticable then.
The only direction in which they could
bave been useful was that in which VAL
lastaGrum, REED & Co. were supposed to
be situated. But these men required not
reform, but utter squelching, and they re-
Ceived it through the most powerful of all re_
forming agencies—the ballot-box. The
Wants of a soldier as a soldier were well at
tended to, and so were his wants as a . man.
The people, as represented by the
Government, the Sanitary and Chris
tian Commissions, and other agen
cies, were . well employed, and em
ployed prayerfully and successfully.
But after the war there came attendant
evils ; not as bad, to be sure, as pestilence
and famine, which are said to follow war,
but bad -'';ought in their social and moral
effects. When one habitually reads tales of
horror and death he becomes used to blood
and crime, verifying the maxim that if we
see vice too often we embrace where we
before despised her. Ifurdere and crimes
worse in their character if possible, became
rife, and
,found an inappropriate climax in
railway disasters. These crimes are occur
ring even now. Intemperance in its worst
form is becoming everywhere an habitual
Vice with too many of our people, until
groggeries of every size and every degree
of ornamental splendor dot our cities and
towns in sad profusion. Irreligion is fol
lowing in its tratn, until spiritual coldness
and disbelief have begun to be esteemed, in
too many instances, an honor more than a
Calumny and a shame. The corners, the
Streets, the open lots, the taverns, and even
the quiet houses, where such of our people
as do not sympathize, with the rest of their
class, more deluded and more criminal than
themselves, prefer to pass their Sundays,
are evidences of this.
Of course, those who watch the move
ments of the world, its changes, its virtues,
its crimes, have long ago been aware of
these facts, and we find the reformers
already moving with true American promp
titude. In this city a "temperance re
form" is in course of development; but the
development is slow, and the means used
the same which have failed in -a score of
trials. The evil is not struck at the root;
the cause remains untouched. Our tem
perance orators unwisely essay to destroy
the effects—only to convert men who are
the slaves of a vicious, degrading habit, by
INCirds, denunciations, appeals and exam.
ples with which the very victims to whom
they appeal have been long familiar. But
the temperance movement will have influ
ence on the rising generation, and the one
which has just arisen, and in that form the
efforts should, if properly, sustained, be en
tirely successful. But the advice of our
temperance men cannot, if empalence
proves anything, reach those who have at
tained the summit of a terrible habit, or
having passed over, are treading the down
path.
•
One of the most curious of the reforms,
because in many respects the newest, is that
announced, though in bad English, in the
following little paragraph :
"A movement has been started to form a
national society for Christian work am.ongst
the masses, like that of the Christian Commis
sion amongst the soldiers."
in these few words we find expressed a
goolidea, even if gigantic labor should be
required to carry it out. There was labor
for the commissions in the army, and they
performed it well_ But the new field which
is proposed to be occupied will require far
'More and of an entirely different kind. In the
army the wants were all alike ; here our
System of society diversifies desires, and the
limits of denominational christianity are
inore closely drawn. However, the same
classesr which have heretofore furnished a
field for home mission—a field the rais
es:ems have been inade4uate to fill—are pro_
per objects for the grand mission—the
Christian crusade against all 'manner of
vice and immorality. The idea, as we
have said, seems a good one, and on the
27th of September next, when its origina
tors meet in Cleveland, we will ascertain
how they propose to realize it.
Add to these reforms the " clean reform,"
as it has been called, induced by fear of the
cholera, and we have enumerated all the
important ones in which the cessation of
the war have compelled our active minds
to engage. So we go I No dangers seem
to daunt—no labors to tire our people. If
we only succeed in what we have under
taken our country will be a model of neat
ness and religion—two things said to be
nearly allied together. Physical health
will be promoted by sanitary measures,
and moral health by pure lives and good
examples.
THE OLD COTTON CRAP.
The heavy wain, laden with fruits ga.
thered by man's industry from the bounty
of mother Earth, wending its placid way
through fields and lanes, has been a fitting
and favorite subject for the pen of the poet
or the pencil of the artist. The wagon,
with itssburden—the witness of past toil
and the promise of future plenty—is always
pleasing, whether it is calmly pursuing its
way among the fragrant hedgerows in the
wide, fair realm of English pastoral verse,
or slowly drawn by the huge Breton ox, in
whose great eye the pencil of ROSA. BO:T
-imm has fixed that calm of patience and
depth of power in which the ancient poet
saw supreme intelligence and beauty. The
in-gathering of the harvest has been sung
in varied measure, and in every tongue, as
the - crowning blessing of the year, and the
ever-returning theme is worthy of all the
treasures that eloquence and art can layish
in its praise. A mere casual paragraph in
a letter from the South brought before our
mind's eye another picture, as pleasing to
the fancy and more gladdening to the heart
than any t ision traced in the melodious
measures of a poet, and brightened by a
warmer hope than ever shed lustre on an
artist's canvas,
The theme of our new landscape was
drawn from a traveller's description of the
wagons laden with cotton that are now
laboriously tracing their way through the
long unused, untraversed lanes and byways
of war-desolated Georgia. Where but a
few short months ago naught was heard
but the heavy march of armed men, the
road now re-echoes with the long, low,
lumbering creak of the - wain with its
Peaceful load, which has, perhaps, been
lying hidden in the earth from the grasp of
conquering foe, or the harsher clutch of
ruthless friend. They have been con
quered, but the conqueror has brought
peace and security in his train, and the
suffering, almost starving, people are tin
burying the wealth that they were com
pelled to conceal from the rapacity of their
party leaders, and are hastening to dispose
of it in the markets opened by their de
liverers from a thraldom as severe as they
ever inflicted upon their slaves.
The scene may be a sad one, for the
country bears many a mark of the ravages
of war; but, in our mind's picture, the
ruined house and the bullet-riven tree are
in the background, while in front the la
borer hopefully wends his way, no longer
depressed . with fear or dreading the very
morrow's sun, but buoyant and brave in
the certainty of future peace and plenty,
and smiling as he fancies the gladness of
his household when he returns with com
forts and luxuries never seen through all
the long and weary war.
GENERAL M. R. PATRICK, who is the
Democratic candidate for State Treasurer
in New York, is receiving some.. first-rate
notices, not only from the Union press of
his own State, but also from the Virginia
papers, who know a great deal more about
his record than Northern journals. Here
is one of them:
"The Choice of General Patrick will please
that gentleman's many friends in Richmond
who admire him for his want of patriotic-vir
tues, and for his great love of the notorious
Winder."
During the late war, when P
- ATRICK was
Provost Marshal, General of the army, his
leanings towards the leaders in the rebel
lion, and his considerate, aynost
men - Eery - treatment - of such of them as fell
into his hands, were so public, that after a
while they ceased to be noticed from their
commonness. But while he petted his rebel
captives, he instituted and continued a most
outrageous system of impositions and in
sults upon the'representatives of the North
ern press. Every representative (and we
are proud to say there were but few who
were not educated gentlemen), has some
story of wrong to tell—wrong which had
no excuse, either in his conduct or in care
for the good of the service. Any obstacle
he could place in the way of the press was
placed, and he evinced more ingenuity and
energy in this petty work of spite than he
did in the discharge of his duty as Provost.
Among his staff were men after his own
heart—impertinent, overbearing, insulting,
miserable little tyrants, who are fortunately
now skulking in their native obscurity.
11 hatwas PATRICK'S object in this petty
persecution of the newspapers was never
known, and none care to know. Informa
tion was gained in spite of him.
THIS ERA of the world's history will be
pre-eminently distinguished hereafter for
the impulse it has given to the holy cause of
freedom—not the mere freedom involved
in a change of rulers, but in the enfran
chisement of millions of beings whose an
cestors have been held for centuries in the
iron bonds of personal servitude. The
great emancipation movement in Russia,
by which 22,000,000 of serfs have been lib
erated forever, has been simultaneous with
our liberation of four millions of slaves. It
is a singular fact that two powerful nations
which have always maintained unusually
cordial relations as the two great slave
powers of the world, should determine at
the same moment, without previous under
standing, to destroy a curse which had long
been tolerated in each. The force of this
significant example has already been ac
knowlalaed in Portugal, Brazil and Spain,
and it is confidently hoped that slaVery
will not survive this generation in any
Christian country. We should strive to
make our American experiment thoroughly
successful, not only for the purpose of ad
vancing our national interests, but to ac
celerate the emancipation movement in the
remaining slave-holding nations.
TEE TRADE with the South that has re
cently sprung up' is in most instances
conducted on an entirely sound and relia
ble basis. That section has been entirely
deprived of its usual supplies by the ravages
of war, and gladly exchanges for them the
hidden treasures of cotton, tobacco, and
naval stores, that escaped confiscation and
destruction, The Southern products, of
course, command ready sale at the North,
and the Southern merchants are reaping
two profits—one upon their Northern
goods, and the other upon the articles they
receive for them. We trust our merchants
and shippers will spare no pains to secure
a Mir proportion of this commerce. No
point lifts $0 many natural advantages for
supplying the wants of the South as Phila
delphia.
THE FENIANS" are in trouble both in
tilt; country and in Ireland—the country
of their ambitions and hopes. They have
been publicly condemned in the United
States by at least four Catholic bishops, and
a majority of the Catholic clergy in Ire
land. The ranks of the association are
principally recruited from among Catholic
Irishmen, so that its prosperity and pro
gress are materially interfered with. But
to add to their misfortunes, the British
Government has pronounced against them,
and intends to take active measures to pre
vent an y i no r e of their pranks in Ireland.
The association there, although extensive,
is yet crude, and if its workings towards
full development are closely watched by
numerous übiquitous soldiery, they will
be terribly clogged, if not compelled to
totally cease.

books by the Bureau of Employment of the

THE MOTHER OF A MURDERED SON AND THE
Idetinima.--This incident is toldby the Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston Journal:
Yesterday, as Wirz was on his way from the
court-room to the Old Capitol, a respectably
dressed lady, between fifty and sixty years old,
who bad been waiting for the opportunity,
asked the guard if that was the Andersonville
butcher'? On receiving an affirmative, she, in
a frenzy of passion, endeavored to strike 1F irz
with her umbrella, saying; "You wretch! you
butcher! you murdered my son at Anderson.-
vine el Failing to reach him, she seized a
brick and implored the guard to let her get at
him. She was with some difficulty restrained,
and the iffisoner conveyed to his quarters. It
seems that the old lady was an Ohio widow,
who had come on here to ga the back pay Of
her sons, all of whom have - belonged to the
army. One was killed in battle, one murdered
at Andersonville, lanother rendered hope
lessly insane by his sufferings in the same
slaughter-pen, and one only returned to his
home at the close of the war.

STATE ITEMS.
The Tioga county Agitator says: Colonel
W. W. H. Davis, the Copperhead candidate for
Auditor General, was, during the war, and still
is, the editor and proprietor of the Doylestown
Deniecrat, one of the most poisonous Copper
head sheets published in the State. While he
was drawing $2,500 a year from the Government
his paper was engaged in the work of denoun
cing the war as cruel and unjust toward the
South, Abraham Lincoln as a tyrant and
usurper, and every effort of the Government
to maintain its existence as an infraction of
the Constitution and a blow to civil liberty.
It 'was prominent, too, among the journals
which sought to undermine the public credit,
upon which national integrity depended. It
scoffed at the currency, glorified the Chicago
platform, which declared the war against trea
son "a failure," and consequently pronounced
the rebellion a success. Yet all this um.
iS t its editor anu proprietor; wa....copting
from the Government his sheet reviled, the
pay of a colonel, and doing his utmost at the
War Office to get a brigadiers:: commission:
Dut in playing this double game Colonel
Davis only exhibited the animus of his party
during the nation's trial. We affirm from
positive knowledge that the most shamelessly
persistent °thee-Seekers who grovelled in
Washington during Lincoln's term were Cop
perheads and most bitter revilers of the Go
vernment. Still, they did not disdain to ask
and receive their bread from the "tyrant"
who oceupledthe Executive chair. And Colo
nel Davis Is neither better nor worse than'the
balance of that faction which repays kindness
with black ingratitude.

of the Fair for the Soldiers' and Sailors' Home.
The aBSOCiation on this occasion will be as
sisted, as we have before announced, by the
Philadelphia Sfengerbund, who have volun
teered to sing the prize song, which, at the
recent National Sfengerfest, in New York city,
earried off the banner, to the great chagrin of
the societies of the " Metropolis" and other
cities. The Germania Orchestra will also be
on band, and perform a number of their
choicest airs. The programme for the even

return a good round sum to the committee of
the fair.

horse, Wonder, in the drama of a iliftzeppa)!
If we are to judge from the success of Miss
Fisher last week, her engagement here has
been a remunerative one, both to herself and
the management. • •
Mn. Ann Mae. WArxixs.—YheSe two inge
nious performers, with the assistance of Miss
Carlotta Shaw give at the Assembly Band
ings an agreeable vaudeville entertainment,
that is a novel and ingenious contrast to the
often heavy theatrleals. Mr. and Mrs. Wat
kins are not a bit overstated in the advertise
ments, and they therefore deserve the reputa
tion of giving the full worth of the prices. A
matinee will be given this afternoon.
Blinn Tom,—At Coneert Hall the perforni
ftnees still continue to be of the most humor
ous and gratifying nature. Blind Tom's intro
duction of himself to the audience, and his
spontaneous and ingenious self-applause, are
as unique as his musical performances are
marvellous. Simultaneously lie plays "Yan
kee Doodle , ' with his right hand, ",pixie”
with his left, and sings " Tramp,tramp,tramp,
the Boys are Marching!" His operatic selec
tions, his Thalberg variations, and his inter
pretations of familiar - fireside melodies, are
all given with equal power and felicity. When.
once the public understands that the enter
tainment given by Blind Tom is refined, ex
quisite, and artistic, scarcely a seat in Con
cert Hall will be left unoccupied during the
season.
COlNClDENCES.—Superstitious people are as
sociating the extreme heat of this month with
the CuribUEl,doeurnent which appeared in the
prominent English journals, prophesying the
end of the world in 1878. The manner of end
ing was by the precipitation of the earth into
the sun. The unusual heat is ascribed to our
unusual proximity and rapid approach still
nearer to that luminary.
REMOVAL Or JAY COOKE AND Hi S RANKING.

quarters, have removed their office for the

TEE Dana Bcrarrrass.—There is no business or
branch of trade in which skill, knowledge, and
enterprise are more essential, than in the drug
business ; nor is there any branch of human
industry in.which more charlatanism and ins
posture prevail. It is, therefore, to the inte
rest of the public carefully to discriminate
between the true and the false druggist. This
can easily be done by a simple, practical ap
plication of that rule, which is as true in mat
ters of business as of morals, "by their fruits
(or results) you shall know them." Judged
by this rule, Helmbold is a true Druggist, and
those well•known medicines known as " Helm
bold's Preparations," are legitimate remedies.
These latter have been before the public for
many years, and have been almost universally
successful; the Extract of Buchu especially,
has secured the public confidence. For its ap
propriate diseases it is without a rival. The
certificates to its usefulness embrace many
thousands of names; but the fact that, after
the trial of so many years, Relmbold's Prepa
rations are in as great a demand as ever, or
even greater, is the best possible proof of their
legitimate merit.
The Principal Depot for their sale, is at
llelmbold% New Store, next to the Metropoli.

THE INDIAN PROPHET.
BT TUB BARD OF TOWER HALL.
Three hundred years of good and ill, s
Have passed since on this ground
There dwelt a red man,
of strange skill
—Nile future to expound.
The prophet sat beneath a tree,
Amidst a landscape fair,
And watched the unsailed waters free
Of distant Delaware.
At length he cried, with sudden start,
"What changes in this scene
Shall prove r stranger!s might and art,
When ages Intemenb I
This green and widely-spreading grass—
These woods where wild deer range—
/ see give place beta a mass
Of buildings huge and strange.
"Upon this where now I sit,
A mighty pile shall stand;
My words would vainly strive to hit
It's size and structure grand I
There countless white men shall repair,
And find it in their power
Rich garments constantly to wear,
By dealing at that Tower I"
Our stock being constantly replenished by large

Sortsieut of all kinds, styles, and sizes of clothing

Piles, and his brother was discharged from the army

CAIt
What a boorish, inconsiderate man
As soon as he got on board he began
To puff at his horribly bad cigar,
For he stands on the platform, in front of the car;
And it don't trouble him that the smoke comes in
Through the open windows (Ugh ! what a sin I)
And gets into our eyes, and up our nose,
And round our bonnets, and through our clothes,
And the fellow looks like a gant Lmum, PM;
Oh I that a gentkman ever should do
Such an ugly, disagreeable trick '
As to smoke in our faces! It makes us sick I
Just see him spit !
Look there ! he's hit
A lady in the face I
If I'd my way,
I verily say,
I'd make him leave the place,
And go eh ewhere than the passenger car
To smoke his vilialimos old cigar.

He Is'n t a gentleman at all,
Forbis clothes are not from the OnEAT OAR HALL,
And this is the way you luny always know
"That people so rude akd so mean as to go
And smoke their offensively bad cigars,
As they ride along on the passenger cars,
And puff their smoke in a lady's nose,'
Go elsewhere to buy their clothes.
Dot gentlemen citizens, one and all,
Huy their clothes at the tiltliAT 0.11;
Our stock Is extra large and complete, and worthy
of immediate attention, as the market prices or ma

our line becoming scarce—scarcer than has been

on hand we are offering at lower figures than many
of the wholesale houses hold them at.
