HENRY PorrrS GER, II. NJ Plenpotentlar !,
Downfall OF the Wall street Press.
The solemn indictment by Grand Jury of near
ly the whole Of the Wall street newspapers, is only
natural event in the revolution which has been 60
ing for Sc veral years in that department of our
social system. These newspapers having long since
exhausted and scattered away their intellectual,
political and financial infuence-and contributed to
bring the country to state Of strife, degradation
and ruin, by their bad doctrines, the only element
Of character that remained slheir moral influence
and this has at last been sacrificed in passion and
is now swept away by grand jury, and will be
finished in the due process Of law.
II s curious to observe in the history Of the rise
and fall of human institutions, how financial errors
and erroneous principles Of business, lead the
way to an abandonment Of all political and moral
truth. Perhaps no instance can be produced equal
in instruction and melancholy interest TO that of one
OF the Wall street prints which is, or soon win be,
included in the respectable company Of the others.
In the years 1894, 1885 and 1886, the "New
York Courier ~ Enquirer" held most
prominent position in the world, and its
proprietor boosted Of an establishment valued at
100000, besides yearly income os $4,000 or
more. BY course of policy that was singuary

A GOOD STORY.

One day sturdy peasant, in the cneir-
ons of Eveux was at work in the helds
amids, storm and rain, and went home in
the evening thoroughly tired, and drench-
ed to the skin. He was met at the house
door by his loving wife. who had been at
h,me all day. "My dear" said she, 'il
has been raining so hard that |. could moi
fetch water. and so [ have not been able
to make you any soup: As you are wet
through, I shall be obliged toyou to fetch
me a couple Of buckets Of waller: you will
NO, get any wetter." The argument was
striking; so the man took The buckets and
fetched some water from the well, which
was at considerable distance. On reach
ing the house, he found his wife comfor-
tn6Iy seated by the FIRE; there, lifting one
bucket after the other, he poured both
over his kind and considerate partner
.Now, wife" said he, you are quite as
wet as I am, so you may as we'll fetch
your water for yourself; you can't get any

a Warninp O. to Wipcs and Husbands

A Warning to Wipes and husbands
Considerable excitement was produced in
this neighbcrhood last week, among those
acquainted with the parties to the affair,
by the news that man whose death had
long since been reported, is about TO re-
turn 10 his wife near this place, after a
long absence in the great west. Strange
as it may seem, this information excited
snly CONSERVATION and GRIFFIN that bosom,
which might have throbbed with joyful
emotion. Alas! the cause Of her sorrow
remains to be told
Unlike the constant Penelope, who
mourned SO long for the return of UIys-
ses from the siege of Troy, and refused
for twenty years to listen to suitor or to
doubt the probability of her husbands
return, the Penelope of our story long
since Welded to the solicitations of snoth.
er lover, and her less fortunate Ulysses
will re,urn,o find his wife's affections bu.
ried, and rival seated upon the throne OF
ithaca. Under these circumstances, the
result of the interview may be anticipa
ted. -
