The most encouraging accounts are
given everywhere of the ppi-cdy revival of

probably the largest on record. Prom care
fully prepared statistics it has been ascer
tained tbat, although the average of cotton
is smaller than last year, and the crop
necessarily smaller, there will be a good and
profitable yield for the acreage.' As to rail
road property, the ret profits have within
a month or two shown a considerable, in
crease. Por the expired part of 1S71 the
leading roads have done less business, but
having done it at less expense, show ma

year the receipts were the largest on, record,
and, taking mileage intJ consideration, es

Til!" New York Olrvn; a religious
jo'ira1 ( f v i'ie circulation and influence,
commenting on the Pi-echer scandal, gives
such sensible remarks that all will honor
as a product: n h'ghlj worthy of reflec
tion. The developments of the I'rooklyn
talc of sin and sorrow arc directing public
attention to the rpii-stioa of relation be
tween the pastor and his female parishion
er. The grave danger to the clergyman,
and the tti'l graver danger to religion,
which may follow indiscretion or want of
acquaintance with human nature, mascu
line or feminine, demand that this matter
meet the serious consideration of the clergy
and society. Any teaching, doctrine, or
usage which allows pri-st or preacher, or
anybody else, to step in between husband
and wife, is wrong and dangerous to socie
ty. It is based on social conditions, haj
pi'y gone forever, and which the constitu
tion of American social life and our ideas
of self-respect and personal independence
wj'.l Hover allow to come around again.
The common custom, for instance, of the
minister's taking the first kiss at a marriage,
, is a pointed illustration. This usage dates
hack to the tiace of feudal robbery of privi-
leges cud private rights. It is indecorous
now, and is prohablj' the shadow and relic
of au observance more than indecorous.
It is indulged in, of course, now without
thought of any history iu the past or any
ineauiug in the present, hut it is this very
thing of thoughtlessness which we are con
demning. l.t t the Olmrnr sjieiik, however :
The establishment ofsuch relations be
tween a pastor and his flocks as shall secure
f r him that intimacy which ought to exist
only in the domestic circle is aa evil of
fearful tendency aud unspeakable danger.
Ministers are censurable iu a high degree
whoercourago their xop!e, men or women,
to come to them with family matters or
secret sores. S'mo men are themselves
gossip, and delight to get and give all they
can ot's ci.il new, and the more secret the
richer the piizc. They encourage revela
tions win !i their ears should be deaf to
everything approaching to scandal. All
j'liLe: .'lis pastors discourage familiarity on
the ;.ait of their people, especially of the
fereei'e. h nominations.
For this way lies the danger. A silly
women, pious perhaps, but very soft and
si::.:! 'W. Leers the stirring words of her
eloquent pastor ; is roused, wanned, sooth
el, c:c -lulled she thinks fl;'cd and
straightway she believes him to be the man
pent to do good. She goes to his study to
leii bin 6o ; how much tujuyment she buds
in his v. ordi ; or she writes him a letter
and ; I'-rs out her little soul fall of twaddle
about her gratitude for what h"r dear pas
tor lias done lor her; how she "is lilted
up" by his instructions ; how she loves
him as a friend given to bo her guide and
comfort, and soon, more and worse, run
ning into a mawkish sentimentally, a sick
ening man worship, disgusting to every
6ensiijlc person, but very nectar to a vain,
worldly preacher, who seeks only to make
his heaters "fee! good." Such people never
go to their paster to ask "what they must
do to be saved It is to tell him how
pood they feel ; how he is "exalting" them,
"lilling them with joy, peace, and love."
We cannot go into particulars without of
fending the tastes of every reader. We
n.ake our meaning plain. We wish to be
understood as saying that what worldly
preachers and sentimental women call
"communion ofgoul"and "kindred spirits,"
"mutual help" and "holy sympathy," and
words in the same strain, is not religion
it is not even leligious. It is of the earth,
earthy. It is "carnal conceived in sin."
It i simply the lower nature, the human
passion of one creature toward another.
God is rot in it.
The Supreme Court of thin State has de

of considerable public importance.
Tin: Liei:kj Cc'KTKintnox. The
following from the Williameport Bulletin
in regard to the action of the American
Cl;r mists, at tl.e recent meeting at North
uml'eibiid, will find a respouso in the
bre;t of almost ever' citizen of this section
of the country. AVe had previous to the
meet in thought of snpgeatiii;: to that
br-dy, the propriety of a subscription for a
monument, not to Licbig, but to Priestley,
whose great discoveries opened to the world
the wonders of chemical ecieucc, and point
ed the way fr such distinguished scientists
as Li. big. I:ivy, Faraday, and others. Why
they should neglect the remains of a man,
whose distinguished services aud discover
ies they assembled to commemorate, and
at the same time contribute to rear a
column to the memory of another who fol
lowed him, is one of those mysterious acts
that sometimes surprise us but are not
j readily explained :
j "On Saturday the American Chemists,
j at Northumberland, closed their centennial
j celebration of Dr. Joseph Priestly's dis
covery ofoxyji'n. Tlie exercises were con
ducted in a national spirit, but one act in
the final drama was anytl ihg but appro
priate the contribution of money for a
Liebig memorial. It was a direct insult to
the citizens of Northumberland, and espec
ially to the d(
tal ,;itfpoV(.,cl
.
bleu to pay li
ially to the descendents of the great chemi-
er. In that village they asseru-
omage to Vr. Priestly, cxtoll-
iu" his great, work in the field of chemistry,
and orating over Lis remains for two days,
llight well they knew that nothing but an
ordinary slab marked the resting place of
nc great discoverer. The decendauts of
this noted man had opened wide their
doors to the nation's scientists, and gener
ously invited them to the hospitality of
their roof. They had partaken of it, and
just upon the eve of adjournment they
contribute their hundreds of dollars to be
invested in a foreign monument, and leave
the remains of Ir. Priestly to rest upon the
hillside above Northumberland, with noth
ing hut au ordinary stone to indicate to the
visitor where rests one of God's noblest
specimens. It is a shame, and we arc hold
to declare it especially w hen that body of
educated men resolved upon a committee
to invite foreign chemists to the nation's
centennial, with the hope that they would
visit the grave of Priestly. By all means,
before the Fourth of July, 1S70, in North
umberland cemetery, aud over the grave
of Dr. Joseph Priestly, should be erected a
6lab reflecting honor upon American chem
ists, and one worthy the great theologian
and chemi.st that lies sleeping that sleep
that knows no waking. Until then, invite
no foreign chemists to the banks of the
Susquehanna. Let the sentiment expressed
uaring the Convention be carried out by a
fitting memorial, aud then send money
abroad to erect monuments for the dead.
If the memory of Priestly is held so sacred,
why shoald he le forgotten iu the closing
hours of a Convention called to revere his
name, and one who sleeps upon a foreign
shore be brought up in preference ? There is
something radically wrong about it. Had
they proposed a Priestly monument $19,000
could have been raised, und the reliable
farmers of JCorthumherland seated in that
hall on Saturday last would have responded
by donations of hundreds. But their
mouths were closed they felt the wrong,
and remained silent. There is but one
way to amend and that is by a speedy
contribution for a Priestly monument.
Tbat .Vutioual Loan.
After announcing the award of the United
State live per cent, louu to the Messrs.
Rothschilds aud associates, of 108,000,00
of the S17l, 000,000 offered the Elmira .11
vcrtistr says, this is au indisputable proof
of the confidence of this celebrated house
in our finances. They bid for the largost
amount of all competitors offered best
terms for the Treasury, and thus establish
our public credit abroad. This will both
hasten the redemption of all our G per cent.
o-20s, and urge our currency nearer to par.
The gold premium cannot fail to be cor
respondingly affected. And when the
marketing of the crops shall come in, an
other clement will be ad Jed to strengthen
our finances and the lowering of the pre
mium to very lowest figures may be expect
ed by November. Hut all this exalts the
nation iu the political opiuion of the world.
The confidence in our finance bulids up our
government in power aud the trust in na
tional faith. This loan will be negotiated
by the etrongest financial house in Europe.
The party of the opposition will be disarm
ed of one of their most dangerous weapons
for years to come. This loan has been an
anxious issuc.ns affecting the decrease of the
public debt and f urther removing the pos
sibility or increased taxation. The bold
repudiations of the Democracy are silenced,
aud Republican sound financial manage
ment exalted. The Rothschilds by name,
alone, establish the success of the loan.
Rut what is of greater significance, the
Btanding of our bonds can no longer be
doubtful in any European market. What
they have accomplished for Russia and
Prance, they will now use their immense
influence to bring about in behalf of the
United States, which are iudebted to the
Messrs. Seligmans for planuiug such a com
bination, having previously bid for if'iO,
001,0 t of the loan through their Frankfort
house. The Rothschilds, once before, for
half a century, manipulated a part of our
public stock's, when they bore only : per
cent, interest, and we were only ten mil
lions iu number. They witnessed the crea
tion aud redemption of this debt under (ten.
Jackson. Although friendship caused the
transfer of the accouuts of the State IK
partmeut to the Ratings, during Webster's
Secretaryship, no misunderstanding follow
ed, aud the Rothschilds have never ceased
to entertain kind feeling-, towards the
United .States,
The Rlouu Ci;i:e. It is said that
"nearly two hundred people iu the city of
New York rise at daybreak for the purpose
of repairing it the slaughter-houses and
drinking the warm blood of animals. At
first the taste is repulsive, but in a short
time the desire for the ensauguined drink
becomes iutense. Comsutnptives driuk the
warm blod hs a means of prolonging their
lives, and some testily that their existence
has been prolonged Tor many years by par
taking of it regularly, and that it has be
come a positive luxury." Rah! Even if we
could believe that relief was to be obtained
frotn the use of this repulsive medicine, it
strikes us forcibly that we should prefer
death, which sooner or later will come,
than swallow the nauseous stuff. The idea
of swallowing a pint or so of blood spouting
warm from the heart of a dying bullock
every morning until from frequent use it
becomes a "positive luxury," is simple dis
gusting. In his lecture on "Dr. Priestly 's Dis
covery of Oxygen Gas,' iu the I'ii),uhi.r
Si ii mx 3)tih, Professor Draper says:
'What can Ijc more touching, or even more
beautiful, than the last scene of Fricstly's
life ? When his little grandchildren were
brought to his bedside to bid him good
night, he tittered his last words : 'I go to
sleep like you, but we shall wake together,
and I hope to eternal happiness.'

THE CHEAT CALAMITY.
The horror which Sunday night brought
to this community, has been even yet only
partially dispelled. Each day additional
human bodies are found, and thoso thus
far recovered give the terrible total, 102;
and there are many yet missing. The con
dition of the survivors, now that we can
look upon it with a little more calmness
is seen in its dreadful reality, tiot only in
the sense of fearful bereavement, but in the
sense of hard material want. To meet this
great want, our citizens, and even those of
distant cities, are coming forward with
noble aud gcuerous promptitude. Ixss
important than these considerations, but
important enough to command universal
attention, if these did not exist, are the
property losses, and these, too, are now
being footed up.
THE WOItK OF KEXOV.'TIOX.
The work of cleauing away the wreck
left by the Hood, was prosecuted with vigor
aud effect yecrday. Captain Tyson had
seveniy-five laborers aud twenty carts em
ployed in the Butcher's Run district, dur
ing the foteuoon, and the force was con
siderably increased during the afternoon.
As the result of the work done, Center
street is nearly clear, and is passable for
wagons and pedestrians, the laborers being
engaged in clearing away the lower strata
of mud on the cobblestones. The princi
pal obstructions are off O'llara street, and
teams pass freely. Madison avenue, from
O'llara street to the junction of East street,
is free for the passage of teams, but none
save the laborers' carls are allowed to pass,
unless it is the conveyances of those living
in the country beyond Spring Garden ave
nue is open, but is deep with mud. No
teams but thoso on duty are permitted to
pass through, however. Health Officer
Hoch has been doing duty along Butcher's
Run. The ruins of the tanneries, glue
factories and soap institutions were being
plentifully supplied with carbolic acid.
The militaty will not be on duty to-day,
their services being no longer needed.
Street Commissioner Ilauua is busy
about Wood's Run in getting matters
righted there. The bridge at llartnian's
has been repaired, also the one on Preble
avenue. The one across Wilkins street is
being repaired as sireedily as possible.
At Sawmill Run, also, the work of reno
vation is being carried forward vigorously,
and the ruins left by the Hood are being
rapidly cleared away, and the same is true
of the other stifi'ering localities.
DISPENSING KEI.IEF.
The Relief Com mi tie has thus far done

THE DAMAGES BY THE FLOOD.
There can be no approximate estimate
made as to the amount of damages done to
public and private property in the two
cities. With the reports of the Street Com
missioners published below, we are given
an idea of the amount of the public loss in
rittsburg. It cannot fall short of S100,
000. In Allegheny there have been no
official reports as yet. Iu both cities the
total loss of property, public aud private,
will likely reach half a million dollars.
Wild IIo;s. A few mouths ago Mr.
Anthony Fuhrmau, of Tyrone township
Perry county, bought three half grown hogs
from Mr. Morrow, of the same township.
The hogs had been ranging on the moun
tains last fall aud were wild as deer. The
Bloomtleld Advocate says, Mr. Fuhr
man took the animals home aud secured
them in a pen. Some weeks ago they
broke out of the pen and started for the
mountains, followed by several persons
with dogs. The hogs, in crossing Sher
man's creek, were followed iu a boat by one
of the party, whn one of the animals jump
ed into the boat and drove the person out
into the water. The hogs gave battle to
the dogs, and threw oue of them several
yards. One of the hogs was finally killed,
one secured after running under a bridge and
standing at bay ready to attack loth men
and dogs, and the third escaped to the
mountain and has not been seen since.

TIic Indian Trouble.
A SUCCESSFUL RATTLE.
Washington, Aug. 1
The War Department has received a re
port of the expedition under the command
of Captain A. E. Bates, which left Camp
Brown, Wyoming Territory, July 1, for the
purpose of punishing the Indians who had
been committing depredations in that and
the neighboring valleys. After several
days marching he reached the Indian vil
lage of Owl Creek Mountain, winch consist
ed of 112 lodges placed in a deep ravine.
The Indians opened a sharp lire Mi the
troops as they approached, but without
damage, and the troops quickly drove them
through a gully, where they were tmvded
so closely together near the lower end, that
the troops had a splendid chance at them,
and counted after the fight seventeen dead
bodies almost in cue heap. In about
twenty minutes, or half an hour at furthest,
there was not an Indian in the village, ex
cepting the dead and numbers of children
who were U ft iu the lodges.
The Indians who escaped had reached
the rocks above, where they opened a very
telling fire on the troops, killing two men
and wounding three in a very few minutes.
The result of the fight was twenty-five In
diaus known to be killed, and with the usu
al proportion of four wounded to one killed,
seventeen were counted in front of the vil
lage. The others were left, part in the vil
lage, and part on the side of the bluff.
Had the Shoshones who accompanied the
expedition kept quiet in the first instance,
and given the commander an opportunity
to reconnoitre the ground thoroughly, so
as to take possession of the commanding
points, or had they followed Lieut. Young,
who received the orders correctly, and at
tempted to lead them to the attack, Cap
tain Bates would have been able to report
the most complete victory Captain B, Se
cond Cavalry, ever achieved, for tUc cap
tain thinks not half a dozen would have es
caped. But owing to the bad conduct of
his Indian allies first, aud cowardice after
ward, he thinks the troops achieved only
about half as much as was intended. To
sum up the action of these Shoshone In
dians, they betrayed the troops first and
deserted them in the fight. Some of them,
however, behaved well.

FAUTIi 'l'LAitS OK THE DISASTER.
Cincinnati, August 5. The steamer
Vat JCoijirx was burned this morning, one
mille below Aurora, Indiana.
A later despatch s.tys : It appears that
several bales of cotton, which formed part
of the cargo, caught fire about live o'clock
this morning it is supposed from sparks
from the chimney, and the boat was burned
to the water's edge. Both the boat and
cargo, the latter consisting of cattle, sheep
aud hogs, besides cotton, are a total loss.
The passenger register and all the books
were destroyed. The boat was valued at
cco.ooo, insured iu Cincinnati for
32,000, and in Louisville for $5000. The
value of the cargo has not been ascertained.
The names of the lost so far ascertained
are : J. II. Stuart and Mrs. Smith, of
Madison, lud. ; W. C Brown, of Cincin
nati, son of II. W Brown, of the Union
Line Transportation Company ; Charles
A. Dittman pilot, and Shirley Snyder and
Jacob Light, of the crew.
The following named persons arc also
missing and are supposed to have been
drowned : Charles Rcswigcr, stoker ;
Minor Muntz, barber, and several lady
passengers whose names are unknown.
Mrs. Tuttle aud child, of Harrison, Ohio,
were drowned.
STATEMENT OF THE ENOINEEU.
Mr. Holmes the engineer of the steamer
rat Rogers, which was burned at Aurora,
arrived in Cincinnati on the noon train, and
was interviewed by a reporter of the Cin
cinnati Times. He gives the following ac
count of the buruiug :
It was about six o'clock when the steam
er was opposite Loughery creek, that flows
into the Ohio river, two miles below Au
rora, that I noticed a bright light among
some bales of cotton in the after part of the
boat. I hastened to the spot, and found
the cotton burning rapidly, and beyond any
possibility of being extinguished. I hurried
on deck and gave Hie alarm to the pilot,
aud told him to run the boat onshore when
she became unmanageable. The pilot'
slates that he could turn the wheel, but
the steamer would not answer to her helm.
He thinks the tiller rope had been cut.
From this fact it is thought that the fire
was the work of an incendiary.
Another theory is, that one of the deck
passengers, while smoking, dropped a spark
from liis pipe into the cotton.
KAI'ID srnF.ADI.NO OF THE FLAMES.
When the boat became unmanageable
she drifted on to the sand bar and there
grounded. The flames, instead of spread
ing along the lower deck, at once shot up
to the cabin and pilot house, and then
6wept across the hurricane deck. The
passengers were all aroused aud the boats
lowered, and many were carried ashore,
but others in their fright jumped into the
water, and those who were not drowned
reached a safe landing place after drifting
a long time in the current.
There were nearly one hundred people on

Correspondence.
Ol It XF.H YOKK LETTER.
beecheit and tilton.
New York, -Ik. 4, 1874.
Beecher, Beecher, Beecher. Tilton, Til
ton, Tilton. We are having a surfeit of
Beecher and rather too much of Tilton.
None of your senses can escape either
Beecher or Tilton. As you walk the streets
the newsboys howl "All about the Beecher
scandal-1-1 !" You look over the dead
walls, and portraits of Beecher and Tilton,
in advertisements of sensation papers, stare
you out of countenance. Sit down at ta
ble, aud your next neighbor will, a thou
saud to one, ask you, "What is the latest
regarding the Beecher scandal ?" and in
sist upon discussing the entire case, com
mencing with the marriage of Tilton, down
to the absorbing conundrum, "What will
Moulton testify to V"
And by the way the whole thing just
now, simmers down upon this one man,
Moulton. The fate of Henry Ward Beech
er is in the hands of Moulton. While
Tilton has been gaining friends every day
and Beecher losing ground with equal ra
pidity, after all Tilton's unsupported state
ment will never drive Beecher out of his
place. For while Tilton afllrms, Mr.
Beecher and Mrs. Tilton deny, and Theo
dore has not kept his hands sufficiently
clean in the matter of miscellaneous love
making to be accepted as a competent wit
ness, no matter how strong his statement.
No one who knows the parties doubts Mr.
Beecher's guilt, but the people get very ju
dicial in such cases, and insist upon the
charges being proved judicially. Now,
Mr. Frank Moulton was with Tilton when
Tilton charged Beecher with the crime,
and it has been stated over and over again
that Beecher confessed to adultery with
Mrs. Tilton in the presence of Moulton.
The great moral, or rather immoral ques
tion is, will Moulton swear to this ? If so,
it settles the entire question and makes a
funeral of Mr. Beecher. If not, while the
people at large, will believe all that Tilton
has charged, Plymouth Church will affect
to disbelieve it, and hold its paBtor.
Why should not Moulton testify to what
he knows, he being afraid of Tilton ? Be
cause it is no small thing to incur the en
mity of so strong and powerful body as
Plymouth Church, and whoever assaults
Beecher does just that. To Plymouth
Church' Beecher is more than a man, he is
a demi-god. They believe in him, in a
wild way, as the sum total of everything
that is good and great, and no matter
what the proof may be they propose to
take him through.
If Moulton 'sides with Tilton to the ex
tent of supporting him by testimony, ials
of wrath, equal in quantity and quality to
those uncorked upon Tilton, will be poured
over his devoted head, and that Mr. Moul
ton cannot afford. It remains to be seen
whether he will have the nerve to do this.
Now that Tilton has been arrested for
libel and the matter has got into the Courts,
it is possible that Moulton may be compell
ed to swear. If so, look out for broken
crockery. By the way,
IT IS A MISTAKE
to put Tilton down as a blatherskite, or as
an utterly unreliable man. He is a man
of great genius, a good and true friend and
in most things steady and level-headed.
He has notions that take him out of the
channels in which men float, and ht3 cross'
country expeditions have been frequent,
and to him most disastrous. His opera
tion with the Woodhull hurt him, though
1 doubt if there was anything more in it
than what he stated. She is a wonderfully
attractive woman wonderful in intellect
ual force, wonderful in conversation, and
with a peculiar wierd way about her that
could not but catch and hold a dreamy
poet such as Tilton 13 at times. Then they
held views to some extent in common on
the questions of love and marriage, and
there was just enough of danger in sup
porting her to make it fascinating to him.
Besides all these there was a business con
sideration involved which Tilton in his
circumstances could not overlook. Alto
gcthecr Theodore is a good fellow, ne
has his faults he is indiscreet and impul
sive, but who of us is perfect I I presume
I am not, at least I am not going to hurl
the first rock at Tilton.
I predict that Mrs. Tilton will come
back to him, and that despite all that has
happened he will take her back. For he
loves her and pities her. She is the mother
of his children, and Theodore Tilton can
no more live separated from her than fly,
When this wretched business is over they
will be re-united, and possibly a change
will be wrought in both of them that will
make their lives happier.
BOSS TWEED
has well-nigh gone out of public sight It
is astonishing how soon a man is forgotten
in New York politics, when be has nothing
to give. He might as well be dead. It is
true he has influence enough to get better
treatment than other convicts, but that is
about the extent of it. The old man went
over to the Island, and that day his star
set. Other aspirants for power administer
ed upon his estate at once.
The veteran old villain's political prop
erty was divided just as soon as it was
tolerably certain that he could not get out
for a year. Morrissey grabbed a portion
and the other gin-mill politicians took the
balance, and were Tweed out to-day he
could hardly reinstate himself; for the
men who have usurped his place will hold
what they have, and the old man, having
no places to dispose of, could not organize
a new party to stand at his back. They
like him as well as they ever did that is
those who liked him at all but personal
liking has little to do with such matters.
The politician anywhere is selfiBh the
New York politician is particularly and
essentially so. He commands respect pre
ciselv in proportion to his power once
dead, always dead.
But I am happy to be able to say that
the old rings will never again have the
power once wielded. Tweed held it all
in Lis nanus ana used it to tne advantage
of himself and his friends unquestioned
and unchecked. He was the source of
power and the fountain of wealth. "Who
ever was useful to him was rewarded mag
nificently, and whoever was opposed to
him was mercilessly killed. But uow that
power is divided. There are a dozen able
and unscrupulous men aspiring to be
Tweeds, and as they are wavering with
each other it is not impossible for the de
cent elements of the city to wrest the pow
er from them and reform and purify the
government It is fortunate that each of
the aspirant leaders had rather see the
power go into the hands of the opposition
than let it be grasped by a rival. Let us
hope that these rogues will continue to fall
out, till honest men come to their own.
CHILD STEALING.
The kidnapping of children, inaugurated
in Philadelphia, has broken out in New
York, which might have been expected
for I know of no soil in which villaiuly
thrives so well as here. A child of about
five years of age was stolen from 3oth
street, nearly a week ago,and the only clue
the parents could get to it was by adver
tising in the Herald. The answer came
promptly the child had been stolen and
was being held for a ransom. In th:3 case.
however, the cold-blooded villains made
mistake, for the parents of the child have
no means and cannot possibly raise a tcuth
part of the sum demanded. The fact that
they lived in a good house in a fashionable
quarter of the town, and rode in a carriage
and dressed in purple and fine linen de
ceived the operators. They did not know
that the house was mortgaged, that the
carriages were hired, and that the daily
profits of the head of the house was ab
sorbed in keeping up the stylo that indica
ted wealth. Hereafter the kidnapping
fraternity will probably employ a lawyer
to search the records, that they may be
certain of striking fat game. It must be
provoking to steal a child and turn out
that its parents cannot pay a dollar for its
return. Negotiations are going on with
the thieves direct, the detectives being un
able to get any clue to its whereabouts.
BEROII AND BARXV.M.
Bergh is after Barnuni. Bergh says the
hurdle-racing in Barnum's Hippodrome is
cruel and dangerous, aud he sites the fol
lowing facts: The performances at the
Hippodrome commenced on the 17th of
April, and up to the 17th ult., the follow
ing casualties have occurred : Miss Hess,
arm broken by being thrown from her
horse ; at the same time two other ladies
were thrown, but not fcurt. Miss Lewis,
hurt by beiug struck with the pole of a
chariot. Miss Alice Costcueigra, hurt by
being thrown from the racer Castro, and
having a horse jump on hre ; Castro was
instantly killed, but the lady has since re
ported for duty. Frank Dooley, leg bro
ken while riding an elephant race, and
death ensued. Mrs. Anna Davis, collar
bone broken by the horse Spot falling with
her over a hurdle, and dead.
But just as Bergh got ready to move on
the great showman, the entire concern was
moved to Boston, where, there being no
Bergh, horses may fall with men and wo
men as much and as often as they choose.
I rather believe that Barnuni started the
report as an advertisement. People will
go a long way to see a horse fall on its
rider. Pietto.

ed for the purposed of removing the pressure

No alteration in any part of the machinery is re

stituting it for the ordinary 'LV valve need not be
over half an hour.
3?It is indispensable at the mines where hoist

reversed without shutting off the steam, thus
saving time and avoiding labor. This valve can
be moved easily with one hand when surrounded
