The New York Poet has the following ob servations : The elevation of Senator Wilson, of Massa chusctts, to the Vice Presidency creates a va cancy in the. Senatorial representation of that State which, it is scarcely premature to say, is more likely to be tl fled by the present Secre tary of the Treasury. than by any one else. Should Mr. Boutwell be translated to this new sphere of labor. he need only desire the same measure of usefulness and success that has re warded his career se a Oallinet minister. We have had many occasions for criticising the de tails of Mr. Boutwell's management, and yet in several respects we have been disposed to concede him the highest merit; as, for exam• pie, his honest collection of the revenue and his inflexible determination to reduce es rapid ly as possible the national debt. Next to the blind infatuation of the Democrats in mistak ing-the notoriety of an eccentric journalist for the popularity of which Presidents are made, Mr. Boutwell's faithtulcollection of the public revenues, and his rigorus appropriation of them to the reduction of the national debt,cou tributed more than all other influence combin - ed to the re-election of President Grant. We may add further that, humauiy speaking, the most republicanizing influence that has been felt by the Old World during the past hall century has been the statements in which for the four years of his administration, month after month, Mr. Boutwell has been in the habit of publishing to mankind the steady and rapid reduction of our national indebtedness. No species of calumny or misrepresentation, however plausible in its form or august its source, could resist the quiet eloquence and inflexible logic of his periodical announce ments of the Treasury balance. Republics might continue to be stigmatized In the court ly and diplomatic circles of Europe as the sum of all political evils, but no one could pretend that there ever was any government in this world but a republican government that had both the will and the ability to redice Its in debtedness it such a rate. The credit otread ing this lesson in financial administration to the world is to be divided between the peo nle_orho e u fully_thrnishefi. the money. the Presidia; who has sustained him in it. To which Velongs the larger share is an idle ques tion—as idle as the inquiry whether we are moot indebted to the sun for its heat, its light or its attraction ; but it is quite safe to say that any statesman in our country may well envy the share, be It the larger or the smaller, which justly belongs to Mr. Boutwell. In quitting the Treasury, the Secretary will fortunately be transferred to a sphere of per. haps greater usefulness, for, besides being a statesman of very considerable legislative and administrative experience, Mr. Boutwell Is al so an orator of no ordinary merit, and perfect ly competent to sustain in the halls of Con gress the forensic renown of the only State In the Union that has never been represented in the Federal Senate by a man of inferior ora torical gifts. THE OLD SOUTH CHURCH One of the Ounlnfest Mecting•lloumeN In America: One of the prominent structures is the burn ed district that escaped destruction, Is the Old South Church ;,which is thus described : Apart from the homes of its worshippers and surrounded by Massive blocks devoted to trade and manufacture still stands ono of the qualntest meeting.houses in America, the Old South Church. The Old South Society was the third Congregational Society in Boston, and was organized in 1069, in consequence of a curious theological quarrel In the First Church, The First Church building of this society, erected in 1609, stood for sixty years. It was of 'cedar, and it bad a steeple and gal leries, with the pulpit on the north side. It was taken down in 1729, when the present building was erected on the same spot and re ligious services were held in for the first time on the 20th of April 1730 (0. S.) This meet house le, perhaps, the most noted church eili flee in the United States. It is internally very quaint and Interesting. Its sounding-board over the pulpit, its high, square box pews, its double tier of galleries, in fact Its whole ap pearance, attract the visitor's attention, and lead him to inquire into its history if he does not already know it. But a tablet high above the entrance on the Washington street she of the tower gives concisely the main facts. The Old South is frequently mentioned on tile pages devoted to the history of Boston before and during the Revolution. W hen the meet ings of citizens became too largo to be accom modated in Fanenil Hall, then much smaller than now, they adjourned to this church Jo seph Warren stood and delivered his fearless oration on the anniversary of the massacre of March 0, 1770, in defiance of the threats of those In authority, and in the presence of sol diery. Here were held the series of meetings that culminated in the destruction of the de• tested tea. In 1775 the British soldiers, eager to insult those by whom they were so cordi ally hated, hot whom they held so completely In their power, occupied this meeting house as a riding school and place for cavalry drill. They established a grog-shop In the lower gal lery which they partially preserved for spec tators of their sport, The rest of the galleries were torn down, and the whole interior was stripped of its wood work. The moor they covered with about two feet of dirt. At this time the church was without a pastor, and no new pastor ordained until 1779. In 1782 the the building was thoroughly re. paired and put in very much its present con. dltion. The first election sermon was deliv ered itLthe Old South Church in 1812, and the ancient custom is still observed. As soon as the two branches of the Legislature had met and organized, the Governor was Informed that the General Court "was ready to attend divine service." The procession was formed and the State Government marched to this his toric building to hear a sermon by a preachei designated by the preceding legislature. The memories of two centuries consecrated this place of worship, and it is not strange that it remained' so long a barrier to the march or business, although Its worshippers have crept farther away, year by year, and found homes at a distance from Its time honored walls. Al though encempassed with flames, It has strangely escaped the recent conflagration.

King, formerly a banker and broker at Exchange place and Broadway, and more recently a law partner of . Edwin James, was lately sued by his wife, Anna T.,for a bill of separation. Mrs. King alleges hat her hue band has treated her, for ti long time past, lo a very brutal manner. He has b %ten her w ith out provocation, thrown articles' at her while seated at table, and In other 'ways maltreated and abused her. On one nccasion, in the pres ence of a number of persons, he throw a cup of tea in her face. The wife claims that her husband has been can3elesely jealous of her, and this morbid feeling has involved serious consequences on several =items, owing to his violent temper and abusive manner. Sev. oral years ago, as she alleges, he quarreled with a man in California, and subsequently ho shot a man in the Sandwich Islet*. Mre. King left her husband on one or more neon slops on account of his 111-treatment, buton hie promising to do better returned to him, only to experience the same harsh treatment as be fore. 011.1DIA OF DIVORCE PROCEEDINOS. Last Summer Mr. and Mrs. King anti that's. , family of three children occupied a cottage near Turner's Station, in Orange county, on the lino of the Erie Railway. Among their visitors were Anthony O'Neil, Freight Agent of the Erie Railway in the office at the foot of West Twenty-third street, and his wife. The families were very intimate. Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill boarded near by, and the gentlemen °gen went hunting and fishing together. Many pleasant evenings were passed at the residence of Mr. King. It Is alleged by hint that in time O'Neil and Mrs. King became unduly Inti mate, and that he at length became convinced that.they had criminal intercourse. King be. gan a suit against O'Neil for aduliery with Mrs. King, and O'Neil was arrested by the Sheriff of Orange county, and was held to bail in $lO,OOO to await a trial. King also began a suit for divorce from hie wife before Judge Barrett of the Supreme Court in thl. city. Mrs. Kittig also instituted proceedings against her husband on the ground of cruel treatment. • Previous to the beginning of these suits, however, Mrs. King left thehouse of her hus band in July, while he was assent on a shoot ing excursion. She took the children with ' her, and, coming to this city, stayed with friends. The case was referred to ex Judge Sutherland; and pending his decision on the testimony the children were intrusted to the father. An examication was hold yesterday before the referee, in his office, No. 42 Pine street. There were present, beside the referee, King, O'Neill and his wife, Mrs. Foulk, who had also visited the Kings at Turner's Station,and, it is alleged, had witnessed the ill-usage coin. plained of by Mrs. King, F. M. Adams and W. F. Bonynge, stenographers, and Joseph' Long, an office boy. The testimony id O'Neill, iii 6 wife,. and Mrs Foulk was taken, and is said to have been very strong against King, many instances of his cruelty towards Mrs. King being given. Mrs. King was not pres cut, being represented by her counsel, James pifD pignac. King had no counsel. He was mit during the entire examination, and se .med cool and self. possessed. There was nothing in his demeanor to indicate that he meditated the shooting of O'Neill. The testi mony having been given, the referee an nouuced that he would adjourn the further hearing until next week. THE FATAL MOMENT Mr. and Mrs. O'Neill and Mrs. Foulk left the office together, and had reached the foot of the stairs leading to the third floor, O'Neill being behind the;women, when they were startled by the sound of a pistol•shot fired from the floor above. The ball passed through the rim of O'Neill's hat. He turned and saw King at the head of the stabs, still pointing a pistol at him. Before he could make an effort to escape a second shot was fired. The ball Dossed' through the lappel of his coat, his vest ehouider-Diaele uetweew ,Les ribs, penetrated the right lung,and continuing downward lodged Id one of the Internal nj gans. A third shot was fired by King, but missed O'Neill, lodgi in the wail ashen die tallest away. Those In the office heard the firing, and ran out,,Hr. Adams and the boy Long In time to see the third shot fired. O'Neil staggered into the office of Tennis D. Quick, a broker, and sinking into a chair ex claimed. "I am shot I" No attempt was made to seize King, who turned, walked Into cx Judge Boutherland's office, laid the pistol on a table in front of that gentleman, and then running into an In ner office bolted the door. The alarm had meanwhile been given,and Patrolman Gibney who wee on duty in the vicinity, ran into tho building. He was Informed of the hiding place of King, and, proceeding thither, de manded admittance. No response was given. and the officer (a powerful man) threw him• self against the door, and In a short time nearly burst it from its hinges. Before this was fairly accomplished,,,Kiug unbolted the door and surreLdered himself. AN ANORYIoWD An immense throng had gathered in free 01 the bulidiug, and there were loud cries o. "Lynch the murderer." Roundsman Gilbert Came to the ses.istance of his comrade, and and taking charge of the prisoner started with him to the New st. Police Station, tell ing Officer Gilbert to remain and collect the evidence bearing upon the case. When Rounds man Gilbert ranched the street with his pHs oiler, the crowd set up a loud Bhout,and there were 'many threats loudly uttered of hanging the prisoner to a lamp-post. The determined bearing of the roundsman, and an occasional sweep of his club kept the crowd at a distance. .King, who still retained his Beft-possession :n a wonderful degree, asked Roundsman Gilbert to preserve him from the fury of the mob. He w.a assured that he would suffer no harm if he made no effort to escape. Passing down William st. to Wall,along Wall to Broad, and down the latter street to No. 48, the officer eluded the crowd by entering a building and passing through It to New-st., where there Were tew persona, and a moment afterward he lodged hie prisoner safely In thest alum house. Few persons were admitted within the sta tion house, and these comprised the witnesses and a few members of the press who had heard of the tragedy. The prisoner answered the questions put to him by Capt. Van Dusen re garding hie name and age, but quietly and courteously refused to say anything about the ehroting, alleging that he wished to Bee his counsel before saying anything that might be construed as eliminating himself. He was locked up In a cell. He was visited soon after ward by Inspector Walling. but was fully as reticent as before. Boon after his inearcera Lion he sent a note to A. J. Vanderpool, re questing him to act as counsel for him. The wounded man sank rapidly, and died from internal hemorrhage 20 minutes alter he was shot. His body was removed to New-et. Police Station. Police Surgeon Dalrymple made a Buperftclal examination of the body. He probed the wound, and found that the ball had taken the course already described. Cor oner Keenan later in the day gave an order for the removal of the body. Fox Hunt by n Little Girl The Huntingdon, Pa., Journal says: d lit• tie girl, nine years old, daughter of Mr. N. G.

Novel Method of Collec: jug Pay for a l ow From the St. Louie Democrat.] Some years ago a widow living on the lino of the Ohio and Mimissippi Railroad, owned a young cow, of which she was particularl3 proud. As the woman was not posessed of much of this world's goods, the cow was an Important source of income to her, us she made butter for sale, and also sold some milk in the neighborhood. One 'clay the express train came tnundering along and struck and killed the widow's co*, as it stood ruminating on the track The widow applied to the sta tion agent for pay for the animal, and was told to send in a bill to the general office of the road. She did so, but received no teply and after writing several times without effect, called on the pivmaster the next lime he went through the town to pay the section hands. The paymaster was very busy, and answered the otdwoman so abruptly that she became offended, nod concluding that the road did not intend to make good her loss, swore veu geance. Little attention was paid to her threats until about a week after, when the morning passenger train bound west, came along. The station house of Flora is situated at the top of a gentle slope, about half a mile in length,and which thepasssoger trains alway run up at the regular speed of twenty miles an hour. It was a line frosty morning, and the Bun was just rising, and the engineer noticed what he supposed to be frost glistening on the rails. Ile sounded his whistle for the station, and putting on snore steam started up the slope. The speed at which the train was approach leg carried It about halt way up the rise, hut the driving wheels of the locomotive spun round on the rails without pulling an ounce. The train came to a dead stop and then began to slide backward. The engineer whistled down brakes and got off to inspect the rails. He found, as he expected that they were ar tistically covered with soft soap, and Is he had had some previous experience of that kind knew exactly what to do. He backed down the track about half a mile, and putting the full head of steam on; charged at the rise with full speed. When he found the speed slacken lug ho oponed the sand valves and allowed the sand in the boxes to glide through the pipes and on the rails in front of the driving wheels. This, to some extent, counteracted the effect of the soap, and the train got near ly fifty yards further than it did before. It finally stopped again, and the engineer again backed out and again charged the slope. The process was repeated several times, and would have finally been successful had not the sand g'ven out. • The soil in the neighborhood was a soft, dark loam, and where inn railroadflut was made a stiff, yellow clay was. turned up. No sands, however, could be procured any where,andfinally the whole force of train men went to'work to remove the soap. This they succeeded in doing after a half hour's hard work, and nearly an hour behind time the train reaebed the station. A few days after simular difficulty was experienced, and tii road officials began to get decidedly angry. Au attorney was sent out there to discover and prosecute the perpetrator, but soon after his arrival was confidentially informed that the road would hlO/11 no trouble In future if the widow was paid for her cow. Hu • took the hlut„telegrupded to the President, and re ceived the necessary authority, paid for the animal and left the • place. The track was never soaped afterward, and the widow got another cow.

Marriage of Henry Bochefort Paris (Nov. 7) Correspondence of the London (robe Few romances of fiction have Imagined for their climax an incident so pathetic as the mar riage of Henri Rochefort, with all the circum stances which, In fact, surrounded it yester day. Several years ago, when the man now condemned to detention for life was the young Comte de Rochefort Lucay,he wooed and won Marie Anastaele Renauld, the daughter of an employe in the Ministry of Finance. They were at the time almost boy and giri—ehe, I think, 20, and she 16—and did not find it ne cessary to consecrate their affection by any other ceremony than those vows of constancy which usually prove of transient force. It was not so, however, in this case. By successive stages the Comte do Rochefort let himself be carried away by his virulent wit and the eager desire for notoriety until he became famous for satires which were certainly out of all Keeping with an ancient title, and he wisely dropped his rank. It is poor work attacking a fallen man, and I will not inquire now whether some of his extravagant articles, which, however meant, could but fall like oil upon the fire of fiercer men's passions, were not equally un worthy of the plain citizen Henri Rochefort claimed to be. The natural result of such a career has been at one time exile, at another implication in the horrors committed by these who were or had been his followers, and • finally the condition of a prisoner for the rest of his life. During all his change/of fortune except the last, M.dils. Renauld hail remained with him. At Brussels, when he was in ex ile, at Paris during the siege, they were together, and they have only been parted late ly, owing to her illness. Thiess at present so dangerous that in all probability,deytth must come soon. She could not meet• This calmly without remedying for her children, as French law enables her to do, the mistake made years ago. There were difficulties in the way. She could not be moved, from her bed, and her lover had ceased to have the right, or at lcaste the power, to control his own actions. However, these obstacles have been overcome, and the prisoner waS permit ted,yesterday, to come, strongly guarded at every step, to make the dying woman in the Conveea of the Augustines, of Versailles, at last, his wife. By this the children, a daugh ter and two eons, become legitimate. No wonder that people have talked of little else the last two days. Curiosity was natually ex cited to know each detail of this strange con clue on to a singular story : but the matter was so well and quietly managed that eery few inquisitive spectators could get in, where their presence would havo,been most unaccep table. Rochefort had been brought to the Matson d' Arret of Versailles on Monday night, and thence his marriage procession started yesterday morning. It consisted of one large hired carriage conveying the bride groom and three police agents (dressed in plain clothes) ; it left the prison et a very early hour, and had had far escort . a very strong guard of gardiens de la pair, who also surrounded in force the Maison de Sante attached to the Convent of the Augustines. Here, on the second story, was No. ll—a little nom, opening, as all such do in places of con finement, item a great public corridor, and in this lay the bride. As the poor paralyzed woman could not, of course be moved to the metric or to the church for either the civil or religious ceremony, M. Rameau, the moire, bad come to her bedside. The marriage in strument was read by him, while M. Roche fort stood by the bride, holding her hand. It was then signed by both, though the effort drew from her a cry of filtin, and witnessed by Frauceis Victor Ingo, Ernest Blum, Jean Destrien, ant the eloquent barrister Albert Jolt'. 'f his was sufficient 'co give legal validity to the marriage and status to the children ; but Billie, Renauld (as the Rappel slates half apologetically) had boggled for a religious ceremony also, and Rochefort could not re fuse a request which w 111 be probably her last. The blessing of the Church was, therelore, be. stowed on the pair by the Abbe Follet, chap lain of prisons. After this M. and Madame Rochefort were released from surveillance for a short half-hour and left absolutely. At the expiration of this time they parted, and at 11 o'clock of their bridal morning their wedded 'le ended forever. The bridegroom, with the same precautions, was conducted beck to hie temporary prison, hie conductors, by the rust' AirintwAgtkirVYff ItY'eptibtueta"lNlth to his place of permanent confinement in the Ile de Re.

THE HOWLING npologEs. Interesting Account of Their Performcineee Row They Work Miracles. • Oorrerpondence Springfield Republican On the opposite side of the Bosphorus, in Scutari, a city of about 200,000 inhabitants, is enacted once a week ono of the most peculiar and interesting sights of the East. The room where the dervishes howled was about 40 feet square, with a loft on one aide for visitors. As we entered wo exchanged our shoes for . slippers, which were all front—the heel end being omitted. By a skillful management of our feet, we succeeded in dragging them up, the stairs leading to the gallery. There were no chairs to sit on, but their place was sup plied by sheepskins, with hair and fleece both left on ; but such accommodations the travel er in the East meet become accustomed to. In ono corner were plied up the mattresses on which the dervishes sleep, with a small pulpit., keeping guard at their side. While the. der vishea were quietly enjoying their narghiles or water-pipes in the porch, one of the assis tants came in to prepare the floor for the "sec vied." After spreading sheepskins over the floor, he put on ono of the hats belonging to the dervishes, and mounted the pulpit. These hate, by. the way, are a peculiar institution: Thes are made of felt. about an inch thick, and ttrii shaped like a flower-pot, about eight inehetsingh. The young neophlte, after adorn ing Weisel( to his satisfaction, commenced mi micking the exercises which were about to follow- He was suddenly interrupted, how- ever, by the entrance of the dervishes, abut 80 in number, who took their stations facing toward Mecca. They commenced their prayers, silently at first, bowing and touching the flier with their foreheads at intervals. Suddenly they com menced singing in concert as loud as they could yell, going through the same motions as before, ending by repeating in concert a hun dred appellations of the Deity. Next came the howl•proper. A row was formed of about fitl persons, including some soldiers and com mon people who were allowed the privilege of sharing In the fearful excitement which the subsequent exorcises produced. While half a dozen dervishes wore singing the great hymn In honor of the prophet, the chorus repeated In concert la f-fah-sl-ioth-lah, which is said to be their profession of faith. They commenced slowly at first, bending the bodies now for ward, then sideways,then backward with each . syllable. As the time quickens, they bend faster and faster, running the syllables togeth er until only the wild, hoarse howl of id.lsh is heard. Faster and faster they bend and hoarser grow the howls. Although - a cold day, the perspiration pours down their faces, while the attendants remove all their outer clothing and Put little white caps on their heads. As the sheik begins to stamp, nothing can be heard at each inclination but deep, aspirated grunts, something like those of a startled pig. It was actually painful to watch their laces, such ghastly countenances, such frenzied looks in their eyes, though one fat (Whey prese,nted even a comical appearance by hie frantic at tempts to keep up with the rest. Suddenly all stop at the word of the sheik. Cloaks aro thrown over the exhausted wor shippers, reeking with perspiration. One of them was too far gone to have any control of himself, and kept bending back and forth un til his head was held by a companion. Some. Urns a they run knives through the fleshy parts of their bodies In the height of the orgies. The atmosphere of the room was almost un endurable, but for the sake of Keine the sight through we waited a little longer. A. bottle of water was next passed around, and all, commencing with the sheik or chief dervish, breathed into it. It was then quickly corked up, and thereafter used as a specific for all the ills to which flesh Is heir. Once more the singing commences, the bowlers bend and - and howl. though lees energetically than be fore, garments are thrown off, and the last and in some respects, most interesting scene takes place. The sheik Is a worker of miracles. After embracing an] kissing his followers, lie attends to the healing of the sick. A baby about a year and a half old is brought to him, After looking intently at the child a moment, he gave it to an attendant, who stretched the pale little thing face downward upon the floor. To our horror the great lubber of a sheik stood for some time with his whole weight on the sick baby, first on its shoulders then on its lolls to us was, that the infant did not utter a sound, nor did any of the other babies and small children who were afterward treated in the same way. Next a number of site of more advanced years wore stretched out, side by side, and the sheik walked back and forth upon them, ending by breathing over them with his holy breath, which, after the preced ing exercises, was believed to have remarka ble healing properties. By working upon the Imagination they have made some wonderful . cures, especially et nervous diseases. Some Englishmen even, while of course not believ ing fa their possessing any miradlous power, have been successfully treated by them. By this time we were glad to drag our slip pers down the stairs once more and ride away. We had seen a new and certainly very ener getic form of worship, and one of the lions of the place ; but an hour and a half's sitting on the floor, and the odors of the place, and the disgusting character of the exercises, were enough to make us glad to regain the ere Ared, narrow streets of an oriental city. .
