oisgracefpl proceeding reused the indignation Of
the peoples Bar.cades were erected, but al
ready sufficient troops had beeadrawn to Frank
fort, and. after six hours fighting, the insurrec-
ton was suppressed. Similar but less import
ant movements connected with this event took
place in other parts Of Germany, baden, CO.
loene, } but were equally defeated.
This preliminary engagement gave to the
sounterIevoluiionary party the one great ad7an-
tage, that, row the only Government which had
entirely-at least in semblance--originated with
popular election, the Imperial Government Of
Frankfort, as well as the National Assembly,
was ruined in the eyes of the people. This
Government and this Assembly had been obliged
70 appeal to the bayonets of the troops against
the manifestation of the popular will They
were compromised, and what little regard they
might have been hitherto enabled to claim, this
Reputation of their origin, the dependency upon
the anti-popular Governments and their troops,
made both the Lieutenant Of the Empire, his
Ministers and his Deputies, to be henceforth
complete utilities. We shall soon see how FIRST
Austria, then Prussia, and later on the smaller
States too, treated with contempt every order,
every request, every deputation they received
from this body of impotent dreamers.
We now come to the great counter-stroke, In
Germany, of the French battle of June, to thai
event which was as decisive for Germany as the
proletaran struggle of Paris had been for France;
we mean the revolution and subsequent storming
of Vienna, in October, ls4S. But the impo.
lance of this battle is such, and the explanation
of the different circumstances that more imme.
diately contributed to its issue, will take up
such portion of The Tribune's columns, as to
necessitate its being treated in separate letter.

Employment for the Poor.

As many of US are aware, a vast number
o. human beings constantly suffering in the world
for the want OF profitable employment. l do not in
clude such as will not work-of this class, however
there are not SO many as 10 generally supposed-but
such as will when ythiDg Is 70 be gained To fur
nish employment then 10 the true policy 10 order 10
relieve much suffering. But how this is TO be DONE or
why 1t is not done through the operations OF men, Is
the point At which we wish 20 arrive. To my mind
the answer is clear It's because the said operations
are carried on 10 too great an extent by machinery
And to illustrate this let US consider the whole pro-
ducts OF the world at the present time from the soil
workshops, &c, and the changes made, through ma
chinery, IN the mode of producing the same since
the different commodities came iato use: Or, let
suppose the same amount 10 be produced In the
original manner. Wouldnot the labor Of all the in.
digent population be requiredi Some one may say
II would, and more besides, and hence the necessity
for machinery. But this reply does no, meet the
case, 90 long as by the use OF machinery, the
OF support for the people Is cut of by superseding
the necessity for their labor
The excess OF machinery then, Mr.. Editor, is what
object to, and what cannot but regard tie evil
which acts the people at this particular time In the
history OF The world. But Is there remedy Can
there be one u the nature Of things lthink there
IS remeey II not entire, It would be In paTt and
that Its application would not materially disturb the
present org snizaon OF society further than to pro-
dnce such effects as for ~hich all good men wish
And what the remedy is, 10 my mind, may, on
another occasion, attempt to point out. MoScRY.
Remarks.-We consider our correspondents
notions neutrality-suspicious.. In the first place
Machinery eannos be abolished secondly, il,
abolition would do harm rather than good to the
Poor. Here, for instance is The Tribune, which
could no, be published at all without very sups-
rNr and effective machiney-such as had no ex-
istence twenty or even fifteen years ago We
could prin. something and call it 7ae Tribune,
bu, no halt of our present editions could be
struck of, and consequently no such expense
could be afforded, no such paper printed as a,
present Perhaps more printers nigh: be EN-
ployed In the absence of such machinery.
bur we think not; the natural result would be
that fewer papers would be printed and more
people live in ignorance.
The owners OF machinery will never consent
to destroy it, nor ought they to do so. What re-
mains to be done, then, is to induce the Poor,
To educate themselves more efficiently for
Industry ?. To save their earnings so far a.
possible 3. To combsne their savings 50 as to
oTn aud daeef the machinery needed to give the
utmost efficiency TO their labor, so that hachin-
cry shall hsnceiorsh work for and not agaiast
them. That Is the whclesiory. I'd

grains were disposed ia peculiar manner. or as
sumed particular form, so she judged of things
to which she ancied resemblance. She also
aValed herself of every ordinary mode of intor-
nation, particularly by causing one of her do
mestcs to talk with her visitors to elicit the ma
ture OF their business, while she remained IN an
adjoining room, pretending to be absent. These
arts, added to her natural, ,shrewdness, and read
ness to seize the slightest hint which might as
sist her IN her surmises, appear to have const-
tuted the whole amount of her power. Her SO :
gacity bore no proportion to the infatuation of
those who trusted to it. She seems even to have
admitted this, especially in one instance, when
some gentlemen offered her large SUN, if she

practice of uncommon arts, assisted by an unu.

"Moll Pitcher"

The celebrated Mary Pitcher, protlessed for
tune teller, died on the ninth OF April 1913,
at theage ofsevcnty five years, Her grandfather
John Diamond lived at Marblehead and was for
many years celebrated for the exercise of the
pretensons. She was married to Robert Pitch
er, Of Lynn in 1850, and had several children.
This person has been more celebrated than any
individual of her class in modern times, Not
only was her name known in most towns through
out the United States, but probably there is not
a port in Europe, visited by American ships, that
has not heard of the skill Of Moll Pitcher"
Many persons came from PAGES far remote, to
copsut with her on affairs oflOve or loss of prop
erty, or to obtain her surmisesrespectng the vic
ssltudes of their future fortune. Every youth
who was not assured ofthe reciprocal affection Of
his fair one, and every maid who was DESTROYS of
anticipating the hour of her highest felicity, re-
paired at evening to the humble dwelling of
Molly Pitcher, which stood m what was then
lonely road, near the foot Of High Rock, with a
single habita,ion nearly opposite, at the gate of
which stood two bones Of the great whale, which
the waves of the ocean, in the Ii berality of their
power, had cast upon the beach. To thst place,
also, were seen repairing sailors from the neigh
boring commercial towns, VINO were deSlrous OF
ascertaining the probable success of their future
voyages. Many reputable merchant, too, OF
whose treasures on the fithless waves the cour-
ier of Intelligence had not brought the expected
information, and being fearful of betrOying the
nature of his busines by nquirinJ directly for
" MoIl Pitcher" has raised smile by asking in
what part of the town he should find the bones
of the great whale. Her skill was prnciply ex.
ercsed for the discovery of things lost either
material objects, which had been mislad or pur-
loined. or the affections of some dlsconsolate
fair one, which had taken the advantage of some
favorable opportunity to eloPe Her power ol
evil if she possessed any, was never exerted
unless to punish such delinquentS as refused tc
paw her for the knowledge which she pretented
to impart Some instances have been related
in which she has evinced an unusual degree o.
discernment while in others her assertions
have had no relation to facts; but appear 10 have
been the result of mere guess work aud pre-
, sumption. Her only ostensible means OF OBJ

Remarkable Voyage in the Air.

John Wise, of Lancaster, Pa, made his 13Ist
@rIal voyage from Portsmouth, Ohio, on the Sd
'nst His balloon voyage was a remarkable one ,
ana the grandest he ever performed, as far as
magnificent sights are concerned. He ascended
little after four o'clock in the afternoon and
soon rose to an elevation of 1900 feet. While
slowly sailing along at this elevation, by the
range of hill in Kentucky, three rifle shots
we're fired at him, one struck the car, but so
very lightly that it did no harm. He believes
the striking part was mere chance. Those who
hred the shots, We have no doubt, did not inag-
lue that there was person in the balloon.
Some exceeding y useful meteorological inform.
alton was obtained by Mr.. Wise in his voyage.
These he states are as follows
lst. Thonder stc.i.:S hass t,,o pIaieS of clouds,
the upper dlscharging the contents, whatever it
may be, rain, hail or snow
%. Sheet lightning of an orange color undu.
Iates silently between the upper and lower cloud
in a waving motion.
3D. The discharges of electricity take place
in the lower cloud, (by discharges are meant
thunder and lightng.)
4th. The distance between the upper and low
er clouds is not less than 1000 feet, this is mere
eye measurement.)
9th. The uprising current was not continued
higher than the lower cloud, and was rising and
whirIlng as long as | was in the margin of the
storm, being in it twenty-five minutes.
9th. The storm was much wider below than
above, and the deposite diverging at least 25
deg. from perpendicular line
7lh. The deposition of hail and rain was thick
est in the centre Of the storm. | could not, of
course, look through it, but viewed one from
the front, the other from behind its line of direc-
ton. and they both appeared the same.
8th. Under the shadow of the upper cloud it
is very cold, and in the lower cloud it is quite
warm
9th. The upper cloud was moved by the cur.
rent which always blows from west to east.
10th. Other causes than the upper current
may affect the horizontal course of thunder
storms, so as to increase or diminish their vio-
lence.
might deduce some data from what was so
distinctly observed on this occasion, but will for
the present leave that to ADLER heals, and par
tcularly to Prof. Espy and the Smithsonian In
sti.ution.
Mr.. Wise enjoyed the grand and terrific spec
tacIe of looking down upon u war of the elo-
ments upon scale of grandeur far surprising
Waterloo. We advise Prof Espy and DR.. Hare
TO make number Of erial voyages to settle
their disputes. We think it would be a grand
plan for them much better than writing and
printing long papeEs on the subject. Let them
get p4nto the req eSoDs aoove aloas with Mr..
Wise, and make observation. This point might
be very useful to the Smithsonian Institute in
getting meteorological information Scientific

"He joined in the blessed sacrament with
great feeling and solemnity, now pressing his
handS together, and now spreading them forth, as
the words Of the service expressed the feeling,
DESIRES suPPlcations and thanksgivings Of his
heart After this he rallied, and again was
permitted frequently 10 join with him in religious
services, conversation and prayer. He grew in
grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and
Saviour, Jesus Christ. Among the books that
he read most, were Jays Morning and Eve
ming Exercises, 'The Life of DR.. Chalmers,
and The Christian Philosopher Triumphant in

true and real, to be tremulous with humanity
rather than rapturous with assurance. When

stirring and tempted, such discipline of chast-

meet for the inheritance Of the Saints, and at
once the words Of meek and patient acques-

" Exhausted nature at length gave way. On
the last occasion when was permitted to offer
a brief prayer at his bed side, his last words to
me were, that he had hope in Christ, and that
the prayer which had offered for His par
doning love and his sanctfying grace, included
everything which the dying need. On the
evening previous to his departure, sitting an
hour in silence by his bedside, could not but

Superstition in England.

An English justice of the peace residing in

pers =" The sun is very bright in Devonshire

us even farmers. paying rent at the rate of three
or four hundreds a year, who cannot spell or
write, better than dogs or horses can. the names
to which they answer. There is among US much
vague religious feeling, and that, added to igno.
rance, makes superstition. Nothing is more
