IN WALL STREET.
Wull street is as old as the city,
but its habitues are not so ancient.
Tbe average stay of a man in that
f treet is very brief. He may make a
great deal of money one year, but be
is morally certain to lose it the nest,
nnd ninety per cent, ol them go out
poor. The oldest man in the street
has only been tbere twenty-seven
years, and be has staid that length of
time by doing a strict'.y commission
business, and never taking a rik.
Tbu offxe that this man now occupies
be paid $l.r0 per year for at the be-
giuiug of bis career. -Sow, lie is
paying 4,000 for tbe same premises.
He has one building that be rents for
more money each year than the prem
ises cost him fifteen years ago. The
msioritv of tie men on the street are
young, twenty-one to thirty being
the ages of tbree-fourtli3 of them. A
man can't live long in that street, for
tbe life is one of too much e xcitcmer.t.
It is tbe wildest form of gambling
known, for there is no cessation or
relief. When tbe speculator has put
sll on a certain stock it may take a
week for the result t be known, and
that week be carries around with
him a load of anxiety. It is with
him at bis meals, it walks Wsidc him
and sleeps with him, or rather won't
let him sleep. He has all staked on
events which he cannot control, and
Le has to simply wuit in suspense till
the matter is decided for or agaiDst
bim. Of course to carry this load
he invariably resorts to stimulants,
and the upshot of the matter is o
early death-bed, and seldox a very
pleasant one. But the places of those
who dropout are filled by a new
stock, and the game goes on forever
The business is pure gambling Wall
street doesn't earn a dollar or produce
one. It is pimply wagering money
tbat stocks will go tip or down, and
in most cases the money wagered be
longs to some one else. A lie that
will influence a stock is considered
virtuous, and erjury is not '.!.-credii-
ablc unless it fails to pr dtice the do
sired effect. In brief, if there is a
sin that has not been adopted in Wall
street, you may be sure it is only be
cause it couid not be utilized
THE EEECUER TROCELi..
The statement of Henry C. Bow-
en. tbat be believed Henry Ward
Bepcber to be a perjurer and adulter
er, created a profound impression,
particularly as every body knows
tbat Mr.(Bowen is in a position to know
more of the inside of tbe case than
any man living, and especially as he is
the enemy of Tilton- It puts'tbe mat
ter in such a shape that Mr. Beecber
cannot ignore it. Mr. Bowcn is an
entirely resposible man, and a state
ment so broad and sweeping must be
met, otherwise, tbe public will have
a ripht to belive it to be true. And

Americas jBflprneee.
Horace White, in one of Lis letters
from Europe, writes as followa : Tbe
disclosures of rascality in public lite,
of which the American press has for
a Ion? time teen iuu, uavr dvu-whu-
cd notice, though I must Bet it down
as an extraordinary mark of interna
tional comity that I have not seen
any, except the most distant, allusion
to" them in any newspaper, either
English or Continental. A more
prolific source of disfavor arises from
tbe growing distrust of our judieial
proceedings. I have been asked
over and over again wny it is so aim-
cult in America to punish a rascal or
recover stolen property. Ibe hard
est thing for our people to under-
sUnd," said a Franktort banter w no
has large interests in New York, "is
why justice cannot be depended on
in your courts. I know of several
eases at this moment where large sac
rifices are beicc made in the way of
settlement with sharpers, rather than
run the risk of long delay, beavy
costs, and uncertain verdicts in Amer
ican tribunals. It is this uncertainty,
qnite as much as the failure of recent
speculative investments in America,
tbat deters German capitalists from
nuttin? more money at risk on your
side of the water. 1 suppose you
treat us as well as you treat each otb
er. In fact I know you do; bu. you
must relorm your code, wcca out
your technicalities, anu unu some
way to pet betterjurics "
Mr. White says our eminent legal
hair-splitters will be shocked to learn
that in tbe effete monarchy where the
above colloquy took place a flaw in
the indictment is of no advantage
whatever to a criminal ; tbat the ef
forts of courts arc directed to cxpedit
ing rather than hindering tbe course
ol justice; and ttat a man worth
$100,000 is as liable te go to jail, if
guilty, as a tramp without a groschen
in bis pocket. He adds :
An Antwerp merchant worm some
10,000,000 francs and having influen
tial connections was recently detect
ed in some beavy frauds upon the rev
enue. Within a fortnight's time be
had been indicted, tried by a jury of
his peers, and sentenced to fifteen
years' imprisonment and to pay a
"fine of 1,000,000 francs. How tbe
foundations of society would be shak
en if this had happened in Chicago,
and wbat public-spirited effort would
be made to secure the poor man's
pardon !

John Cochrane sends the follow ing
to the New ork Sun:
After tbe Revolutionary war
Washington and many of the army
officers, then living in New York,
met frequently at dinner at each
other's houses. My grandfather, Dr.
John Cochrane (Surgeon and Direc-
tor-Gcnerai of tbe military hospital
of tbe army), attending at one cf
these, had directed his son, my uncle,
then a lad, to come in tbe evening to
escort him home.
As the son of tbe doctor he was
admitted to the dining-room, where,
in tbe midst of their hilarity, be saw
Gov. Morris, who was talking, turn
suddenly toward Washington, next
to whom he was seated, and clapping
him on the back heard him cry oat:
"Wasn't it so, my old boy?"

ABC scholars cry' O!" when they
were not saying their letters. Miss
Pentecost never winked at fashiona
ble at that period, she w hipped Kim
regularly three times a week. It
was considered tbe most direct way
of reaching the conscience.
But Kim never could remember a
whipping more than a day and a
half, or a; the longest three days,
and Miss Pentecost began to grow
discouraged. Must Kim always goj
on doing mischief and neglecting his
lessons a boy wbo couid learn so
well if he chose? She knew bis
mother a poor widow, with a large
family of children and was sure
Mrs. Prince could not afford to send
Kim to school merely to play.
"What can I do to make an im
pression on tbat child?" thought
Miss Pentecost one day as she tied
the strings of her gingham "log cab
in" under her chin, and steppe i out
of tbe scboolhouse.
Just then she heard those words
spoken by Kim with great energy
and a flourish of fists:
"Tell you it's true. Bob Whiting,
for my mother said so; and if mother
says it's so, it's so, if it uin't so!"
Miss Pentecost laughed all to her
self, and passed on through the sand
bank into the dusty road. Wbeu
she had gone as far as the big willow,
she paused a little, and laughed
again.
"I like to hear a boy talk so about
his mother, even if it is nousence
Kim is an affectionate little fellow,
aud I shouldn't wonder if be is a
pretty good sou. Anyway, I've got
an idea, and I mean to try it, and see
bow it will work."
Next day was the time for one of
Kim's regular whippings. He had
been more trying lhan usual, and
Miss Pentecost sent Bob Whiting
out for a remarkably strong birch
rod, which could better express her
feelings than the old one, that stood
iu tbe corner. .She spent some time
in trimming the new twig, though
she was careful to leave a few small
knots on it to give emphasis to the
blows.
"I don't think I ever saw a better
birch rod," said she, as bbe looked at
it with critical admiration.
"Now, Kimball, you may take off
Tour jacket."
He was so used to taking it off
tbat he usually kept bail the buttons
unfastened to save time.
Miss Pentecost gave him lu unus
ual bard whipping, and alter it be
cried till ho could hardly see. He
thought that was enough, and it was
w hat tbe boys ca'I a "square thing."
but tha evening, as he was running
out of tbe scboolbouse wbisuicg,
Miss Pentecost1, called bim to her
desk.
"Well, Kimball, I've whipped you
very hard to day."
Kim thought there was uo room
for a doubt of tbat fact.
"Yes'm," he lesponded meekly.
"Look at this stick. Didn't I take
pains to get a good one?"
"Yes'm," said Kim; but ho dida't
gaze at it as if be loved it.
"Do you know, Kimball, ii is very
bard work to whip you? It lames my
arm and it hurts my feelings. Really,
I can't afford to do it, day afier day,
for nothing."
Kim looked up in surprise. This
was a new view of the matter.
"You understand me, Kimball? I
can't afford to do it any more for
nothing. Why, there is not another
boy in school that I've whipped as
often as you; and this lime I must be
paid for it. Don t you ibiuk that
fair?"
"Yes'm," said Kim, Lis eyes black
and shining as watermelon seeds.
"Well, Kimball, I ibiuk it's worth
about twenty-five ceuts, and I dou'i
want jon to come to school to-morrow
without bringing me the money.
Tell your mother about it, and tell
her if yoa don't bring it I shall have
to send you hoinn for it. Good
night, and don't forget what I sav."
"Yes'm."
"Wbat did she do to you ibis
time?" inquired Joe Fuller, w ho had
been waiting outside.
"O, go 'long, now; she didn't do
anything to me," replied Kim, sbeep-
ishlv. "Come, let s go down to the
pond and catch mud-suckers."
Next morning about school time.
Kim stole along into tbe shed kitch
ed, and hung about the cheese tub,
where his mother was cutting curd.
" by don't yoa start for school:
You'll be lute, ray son."
"The mistress whipped me yester
day," mut'ered Kim, helping him
self to a lump of curd.
"Did she? Well I've no doubt you
deserved it There, go, and see if
you cant be a better boy to-dav."
"But, mother"
"Well, what?"
"Why, you see, the mistress "
"Well, speak out quickly sonny;
I'm in a hurry."
"Why, you see, mother, she wants
twenty-five cents for whipping me."
"Twenty-fine cents?"
"She says it lamed her arm," 6aid
Kim, hanging bis head, "be says
6he can't whip me for nothing, and
if I don't bring it she'll send me
home."
Mrs. l'rice looked down at the
curly headed culprit with a twinkle
of fun in her eyes and she had
black eyes, very much like Kim's
"Well, sonny, go and get mv purse
out of tbe end cupboard. If I am
poor, it shan't be said tbat I don't do
all I can for my children's educa
tion."
Kim brought the purse a red
worsted one with steel rings.
1 es, here is a silver quarter with
tbe pillars on it. We are out of gin
gerbread, and 1 was going to spend
it for molasses; but never mind. I
don't blame Miss Pentecost. I know 1
it was hard work to - whip you, and
she deserves tbe money."
"Thank yoa, Kimball," said Miss
Pentecost, in a low yoke, when she
received tbe bright quarter. "Didn't
your mother think 1 deserved it?"
"Yea'm," and his chin eunk down
into the. hollow of bis neck.
"I thought she would. Well, now,
my dear, I shall carry ibis quarter
borne, and keep it; and the nest time
I whip you, you must bring me
another one. Do you understand
me?"
Kim scowled down at his little
bare toes, and tried to stick them in
to a crack in tbe floor. Why tbis
was geitin? serious. Would tbe
woman keep oa crying "quarters"
forever? His mother had had all she
cou'd do to support tbe family be
fore; but what would they do now?
"You may take your seat," added
Miss Pen'.ecost, sail in a tone, so
that no one could bear, but with a
smile that exasperated poor Kim. j
'It is dreadful that you will be so!

resisted these allurements and fifty
more, and got bis geography lesson
so well that Miss Pentecost, patted
bim on the head aud said, "that's ray

delightful to bim if only he could
have forgotten that gingerbread.
Next day be tried studying again
and got to tbe head of his spelling
class
"Whv. I haven't had a whipping
since Tuesday," thought he, Satur-j
day noon, as he ran home with the
silver medul of honor on his neck.
After that he seemed somehow to
fall into the habit of studayiog.
Studying is a habit, let me tell you,
just as much as playing, although
I suppose it is rather harder to ac
quire. The litt'c fellow's w ill was aroused,
aud that was precisely wbat be
wanted. In short, Kim had had his
Ust whipping from Miss Peutecost or
anybody else, and instead of being
mt most troublesome boy, became
her best scholar.
"I shan't be able to buy that dress
after all," said she the night before
she left Skoudac; "but Kim, dear boy,
I know you arc plad."
"Yes'ui," replied KiiU, meeting her

The principal weapons in tbe con

on almost any other, lnese weap

Tbey have been used against almost
every man wbo bas ever done any-

deepest CLrisliau life, tbe most noble
Christian character have not availed
to shield combatants. Christians like
Isaac Xewton and Pascal and Jobu
Lock and John Milton, and even
Howard aud Fenelon.bave had these
weapons hurled againstthem. Of all
proofs of the existence of a God,
those of Descartes have been wrong

army of 25,000 men is the connect
ing link between the future and the
past. They have a ta3k to perform
the same as our Pilgrim Fathers bad,
and some future generation will look
forward to them as they did, and
even at Fort Laramie, 1 hope there
may be a banquet tben somewhat the
same as there is here to-night. Ap
plause. The Army is now one of
peace, and should lead our bearts to
peace. It does. There was a space
a few years ago when everyone was
in war, when we were struggling for
our existence, and I need hardly refer
to it. I appeal to you all, and be
lieve yoa will say that there was
never such ai example since the time
of Christ that the conquering race
gave to the conquered the same rights
tbat they themselves possessed.
Applause. The very moment the
war ceased, that very moment we
snared with them our food, gave
them employment, and took them to
the protection of that flag which is
to be tbe common flap of our hou e.
TAnnlause.1 I say apain aad I be
lieve I say what others will echo with
me that every Southern man that
will come with us heart and hand to
build up this nation, to make it as it
were the very perfection of all civil
ized nations; where property is se
cure, w here life is secure, and where
contracts are enforced and where
honesty is enforced from the highest
down to the lowest I sa they are
as welcome as if they were born on
the surface of Plymouth Kock. Ap
plause. But let item cherish one
ihouth'. cf hostility, let tbeui have
anything in reserve any boast ofj
their old Confederacy a storm will
rise over their heads tenfold as fierce
as the last one which swept over this
laud. Applause. Gentlemen, I
am speaking now for an army scat
tered all over tbis continent n t o'
the regular army, for that is a small
body of raea now bntfor an army
of men for the muscle, and bane,
and brain which now agitates Amer
ica. Applause. We see ourselves
to-day in asort of apathetic position.
I bear more complaints in New York
iban I ever beard in my life and I
used to live here of hard times, of
dull times. I don't see it, but I
hav'nt had the means of looking be
hind the couuter, nor inside your ledg
ers But the country at large is not
unprosperous. Tbere is more land
cultivated than ever befi re. There
is more mines developed every day
than ever before. There is more
room for the unoccupied han ever be
fore. 1 will guarantee honest em
ployment for 40,000,000 more people
if tbey will only come over from Eu
rope, not if they bang around the
cities to become only clerks or por
ters. Now the trouble witb this
country is tbat the people have flock
ed too much in the cities. Come out
West! Tberfc is plenty of wheat
there and plenty to drink. Laugh
ter. We will treat you all kindly.
You wont have such good wine as
you bave at Delmonico's, but we will
give yoa an ample meal and a hearty
welcome. 1 do not suppose any of
you merchants will go there, but you
can tell your firiends that there is
plenty of vacant land in Colorado,
in Kansas, in Nebraska, and iu Wy

gentlemen, I have said probably

feries of "No. no," "Go on,"l but of
course, being somewhat of a rover,
wandering about tbe earth, and look
ing at things as tbey occur to me
with my own eyes and ears, and
when 1 hear your people in New
York complaining of hard times, and
see so many people riding out in
earraige like princes, I cannot un
derstand it all It don't seem to be
uatural at all. If the Plymouth
fathers had had one-tenth of what
each and every one of tbe citizens of
New l ork has to-day, tbey would
bave counted themselves rich ; and if
tbe people of New York and Ameri
ca w ill only practise the economy, or
one-half tbe economy of tbe Pilgrim
fathers, tbe national debt will be ex
linguished in ten years in five years.
Cries of "Good, good " s to spe
cie payment u will come as a matter
of course. If, however, tnis great
nation of forty millions of people, by
the wisdom of Congress deem it bard
and oppressive to maintain 25,000
soldiers to keep the peace amonp tbe
Indians and moog our border pe:ple
if ibey deem it extra veagant let it
be done; let us go back to our own
civil employments, turn our swords
into pruniug books, and I myself will
give the example of poiur back and
earning ray own living as I did be
fore the war. But I hope this great
nation will not forpet the lesson of
Washington, who bade t'icm always to
be prepared ; let tbe danper be ever
so little, to be prepared f r the danger
and to maintain not only the nucleus
of an array bot the knowledge of the
art of war, and the art of naval war,
too, and preserve it as something
and above price, so tbat we won t
bave again to submit to the uiortiCca
tion of sending to Germany for men
to drill our soldiers in our next war.
New AdvertiscemntB.
New A doertizements.
According to tLe estimates of the
secretary of the New Hampshire
Board of Agriculture, hawks, foxes,
and oiber birds and beasts of prey
destroy more than half tbe chickens
and turkeys batched out in the State.
John C. Diaville of Salisbury
township, who has frequently de
lighted the readers of tbe Inquirer
with his well written articles, makes
the following plea for tho chicken
hawk, in the January number of tbe
Lancaster Farmer:
In ibe discussion of the bird ques
tion at tbe last meeting of tbe Lan
caster County Agricultural and Hor
ticultural Society, while it was
agreed that all other birds should be
protected by law from tbe gunner,
ibe society seemed unanimous in
their verdict tbat the chicken hawk
should be tbe target of every rifle
and shot guu in the country. Atone
time 1 entertained similar views in re
gard to the chicken hawk but I bave
not shot one for years, being fully
convinced that be is a friend to the
farmer.
Darwin 6bow3 how, in many cases,
the crop of clover seed is dependent
on the supply of cats in the neigh
borhood. Humble bees distribute
the pollen on tbe clover bloom; field
mice destroy the young humble bees;
cats catch the mice. But the chick
en hawk is a better mouser than tbe
cat. Nothing hurts tbe eye of tbe
farmer worse than to see great bare
spots io his grass fields, where Geld
mice have worked under tbe snow
and destroyed tbe roots of the clo
ver. I have a fine large hawk that
every day sits for hours perched on
a horrizoutal dead branch of an old
chestnut tree in the Geld. He forms
a Due, clear cut picture against the
wintry sky as he sits there motion
less ns a statue. Now and then he
swoops down aud takes up a nioute,
witb. perhaps, some dead grass, in
his talons. I would not exchange
bim for the best game cock or tbe
best Brauiah in tbe couatry. True,
be sometimes catches a rabit pr a
partridge, or bears off a pullet for
bis crop, but he is fully entitled to
these as part pay for his services as
a mouser.
It is true that, vicved from a sen
timental standpoint, birds of prey af
ford but few traits to challenge our
admiration. But science teaches
their use, aud when science and sen
timent come io conflict, w e are bound
to accept the surer results of the former.
Tbe crow is also a much maligned
bir j, but thanks to his sagacity, this
"bird of ill omen" generally escapes
tho shots of his persecutors. Ibe
crow is represented s living to a
great age. Tennvson alludes to tbis
iu the sonorous line
"As the many wintered crow that lala the
clangiuK ruukerv home.
The crow has a decided taste for
"grubs," and does good service in
the coru field in early spring. 1
bave known this bird to book cut
worms out of a hill of corn with its
beek, and leave tbe grain untouched.
I ouce was very much amused at
one of these ebony birds tbat found
a nest of ben's eggs near a neighbor's
barn. 1 saw bim roll tbe eggs out
of the nest and then fly off to a grove
near by. Presently two crows re
turned iroui tbe wood, ana bad a
happy time eating the eggs. I
judged that one of tbese
crow tbat found tbe eggs
other was his wife, though
be qualified that such was
Perbapsit was anotber crow's wife.
11 my brst conjecture in regard to
their consanguinity was right, the
bird certainly showed more solici
tude for ihe comfort of bis alt frau
than some husbands I know of. I feel
kindly to arils these black scaven
gers, and throw the butchering offal
wbere tbey can get it. Tbey get
terribly bungrywhen the ground is
covered with snow.

And wbat is St. Michel? A sane
tuary from time immemorial. Its
rocky souiuiit rising into tbe air
Grst crowned with Druidical remains.
later with & Roman temple, and last
ly with a Christian church bas
been in turn tbe shrine of tho legend,
tne romance, ana tne religion or at
least twenty centuries. Though not
always isolated, it was always sa
cred. Tbe remains of tbe vast for
est of Quoquelunde, as late as tbe
sixib century, still stretched from
ibe main land to tbe rocky mount.
Iu ibe seventh century the remnants
of it disappeared be-fore the inroads
of tbe rapid tide, but a wooded slope
on tbe north-east side of tbe island,
still recalls tbe ancient homes of tbe
Druids; aud tbe earth, in many parts,
is riddled through aud through with
eouutless warrens, made by tbe
lineal descendents, no doubt, of tbe
O d forest rabbits of tbe mainland.
As we look op at the wondrous pile
from the sands, and note tbe mighty
walls and towers bebiud which nes
tles for protection the little town,
the eye measures those ancient graa
ite masses, as solid and collossal as
the rack on which tbey ft aud, aud is
fairly bewildered at the abrupt eleva
tion, one above the other, of castle
and monastery, until, on the summit
of the whole, a vast cathedral, woa
dei ful to behold even in its decadence,
leaps into tbe air with flying but
tress, pinnacle, and spire. And wbo
built it. and how was it built? We
kuo where the granite came from;
but how were the immense blocks
floated over from the neighboring
Rochers de Cancales, hardly visible
in the remote distance? How were
tbey got across that shallow, treach
erous tide, or bow, when the sea
went out, were they prevented from
. inking into tbe sands? Tbese are
light matters, as the student of St.
MicbtPs Mount will socn learn.
Was not tbe great Archangel watch
ing over the destinies of his shrina?
A string of miracles, a group of shin
ing legends, light up tbe pages of its
eventful history. As we read far
back in tbe past, tbe colors seem all
fresh, like the gold azure of tbe
ancient missals on the yellow parch
ment of tbe monastery itself. Tbe
good Bishop St Paterne.of Avrancbes
(sixth century,) sent through the
forest of Quoquelunde his band of
pious workmen, who cleared part of
ibe rocs, and founded two churches
to Sts. Symphorien and Stephen,
and a monastery. St. Scubilion was
the first abbo but the Christian le
gend begins only after the washing
away of tbe forest in tbe seventh
century. Tben it was that St Michael
twice visited St. Aubert, (A. D. 703.)
Bishop Avrancbes, and pointed Io
the isolated rock as bis chosen sanct
uary. The holy man, mistrusting
such visions, opened his Bible and
meditated on St. John's words,
"Beloved, believe not every spirit,
but try the spirts." Again he fell
asleep, and tbis time St. Micnael
pushed him roughly with one finger
on one side of h s bead (pulxalur
amteriux,) upbraiding him w!th bis
sluggish incredulity; and tbe Bishop
arose to found a church endowed with
its own lands, and destined to be
become one of the most famous pil
grimages in Christendom. Good
Words.
Come to Jesus now.
