CoUNTERFEITER CAUGHT. The Toledo Blade
says Conductor Simmons of the Michigan
Southern Railroad, succeeded in catching a
counterfeiter in nice manner Thursday night
on the Train coming East. The fellow was
pointed out as a suspicious character, when he
came on the cars at Sturgis, by gentleman
from Lima, Indiana, who had tracked him thus
far on suspicion. When tho conductor asked
him for his ticket, he said ho had none, bit
handed out FIVE dollar bill, OH the bank OF
New Haven, which Mr.. Simmons inspected,
and found to be counterfeit. Ho, however
madc tho change, and then went in search OF
the Sheriff of st. Joseph County, who happen
ed TO be on the train Tho officer was found
and the two went to the suspected person and
searched him. Not another cent could be
found on him. excepting tho change the con-
ductor had given him. They then asked for
his travelling bag. He said that ho had none.
The Conductor was quito sure that he saw him
bring one on tho cars; and he went through
tho car, making every passenger point out his
baggage, until he came to ctrpet bag about
threo seats from the supposed counterfeitcr,
which nobody would claim. A passenger thon
declared that he saw tho horo of tho counter
felt bill. have tho bag in his hand when ho
came on at Sturgis. This was enough Tho
Sheriff ordered the man TO deliver up the key,
which he did, and upon opening the satche, a
roll of counterfeit bills on the New Haven
Bank amounting to over 81 900 was found
Tho Sheriff Immediately took the rogue in
charge, and went back with him on tho noxt
train.

The Yesta after thu Collision.

In regard to the thirty-one persons of the
crew Artic, said to have been picked up
by the propeller Vesta, we regret that the sto-
ry is a mistake. Tho passengers aud crew on
the two boats which left tho steamer aud made
Broad Cove, were at Newfoundland with the
Vesta, and several of tho passengers talked
with the French captain and saw his vessel.
He saved mono from tho Artic but had one of
his boats run down by her, while che was
making the circuit around him after the acci-
dent. From the circumstances that Capt
Luce steamed around him. to give assistance,
he Supposed that the Artc was not seriously
damaged, and when sho left him, his impros-
sion was she had made directly for New York
Otherwise the Vos,a could and would have re-
mained by her. Tho bow of the Vcsta was
terfcally damaged; indeed. literally stove in,
and leaving rent of 30 feet; But tho COM
partmcnt or bulkhead saved her, and tho
French captain told our informant that his
vessel could have hvod four or FIVE DAYS. if
necessary, before putting into port for repairs
In other words he could have taken off every
soul on board the Artc, and landed them safe-
y at Halifax or even Boston. That the Artic
steamed in the western direction, tho state
ments heretofore published concur and that
the captain of the Vcsta was thus put out of
hearing of tho signal guns which sho snbso
quently fired, is not unaccoantable When
the boat in which our informant was snvod was
launched from the Aric, say about l-2 o.
clock Z. NJ, she was steaming at the rate Of
six or soven knots.
The mistake ,elegraphcd from Halif,x in re-
gard to the thirty-ono persons said to have
been picked mp by tho vcsta no doubt origi-
mated in tho fact that 30 or 81 persons of tho
crow and 10 passengers on tho Balkans boat
were at Newfoundland with the Vesfa.

The Vine and Spirit Trade.

A valuable article on this subject is given in
Hunts Merchants Magazine for september
That portion relating to tho manufacture of
the spurious article, is absolutely appalling
Ii appears that dealer in Massachusetts i'm
ported poisonous drugs, by which he nadc eight
hundred hogsheads of brandy, selling them at
tho ratio of two dollars and half. what cost
him just thirty cents, per gallon. He pocketed
one thousand dollars as the result of bis VILLAIN
Gus deception, and judging from the present
rate of consumption of liquors of all kinds. he
was probably only ono of considerable class.
To this the Boston Telegraph says
And yet some men complain most bitterly
against prohibitory law, and call it oppressive.
The liquor business outstrips all others in de-
coption. Men engaged in it deliberately ndnl-'
terate with rank poisons, which are annually
destroying in our country, from thirty to fifty
thousand persons, and complain of n law en-
acted to prohibit their murderous business.

BV HON. ROBERT NJ. CHARLTON.

The tide rolls on-the tide rolls on
The never ceasing tide,
That sweeps the pleasures from our hearts,
The loved ones from our side
That brings Affections to our lot,
And anguish and dispair,
And bears from youth unruffled brow
The charms that fingered there.
The tide rolls on; wave after wave,
Its swelling waters flow;
Before it all is bright and fair,
Behind it all is woel
The infant from its mothers breast,
The gay and blooming bride,
Are swept away and borne along
BY that resistless tide. t.
The tide rolls on: d Q soldiers eye
Grows dim baneath its swell;
The scholar shuns the mystic lore
That he hath loved so well,
The monarch puts his crown aside,
And labors weary slave
Rejoices that his limbs will know
The quiet Of the grave.
The tide rolls on: like summer brock,
1t glideth to the side;
But, like the dark wintry's angry tide,
1t rusheth to the glad.
From kingly hall to lonely cot,
From battlefield and hearth,
1t sweeps into obliveon's sea
The dwell ers on the earth.
Roll on, thou dark and turbid wnve
Thoe canst not bear away
The record of the good and brave,
That knoweth not decay;
Though fierce may rush thy pillows strife,
Though deep thy current be,
Still faith shall lift thy beacon high,
And guide us through thy sea.

his handful of proselites, and is impatient to
carry his scheme into practical operation.
The consequence is, that all that was estab-
lshed in politics is now unsettled; old and
successful theories are, scoffed at; old parties
are broken up and new theories and new par
ties swarm in every portion of the country.
The dragons teeth have been sown and
armed men have sprung up all around us.
The old familiar doctrines that children learned
on their fathers knee, have grown too stale
and time worn in this restless and change-loy-
ing age. Old party names are falling into
neglect and he is the happiest man who can
boast of the newest doctrine and give to it the
strongest name.
The worst sign of the times is the general
discomfort that prevails extensively among
the masses in the Northern States towards
the Constitution. That instrument is a him
drance to their schemes, and they are eager
to remove it from their pathway. Some
boldly avow their unholy object, while others
more insidious, and far more dangerous, at
tempt to conceal the design which they are
laboring to accomplish. Nor is the Consti-
tuition the only barrier they wish to remove.
The Bible is ikewise'a barrier. Its sanctity is
no security against proclamation, and the wrath
of Heaven no terror to these evil doors. They
vainly imagine that they can find fit substi-
tutes for both the Bible and the Constitution.
What will be the result Of this restless and
illdirected spirit Of change is the interesting
problem of the age. That it will accomplish
much good in science and in the pursuits Of
industry, cannot be doubted, but there are two
subjects that it should not NEEDLE with--Reli-
gion and the Constitution. *

THE RESTLESS SPIRIT OF THE
TIMES.

Human inquiry has accomplished more in
the last thirty-fye years than it achieved in all
the past ages of the world. So rapid and SO
wonderful have been the discoveries made, and
the results attained, that men have grown vain
and selfconfdent. They imagine that nothing
is beyond their reach. So many objects have
been accomplished that were deemed wild and
visionary by the wise and the learned, that
wisdom and learning have well nigh lost conf
dence in their prudential suggestions, and are
surprised at nothing that hitherto challenged
doubt, if il did not provoke ridicule. Experience
is no longer the safe and the infexible test 1t
might rather be said that the experience OF the
mast few years is SO different from that Of the
anterior time, that it stimulates the most active
cnr;os;ty, encourages the widest hopes, and
coun,epances the boldest efforts of invention.
No,b;nu now seems beyond the reach Of man.
Tho absurdest dreams Of ancient philosophy
and mystical alchemy have almost been realized.
The philosophers stone has not literally been
found. but its promised results have been at
famed. The wonders Of the Arabian tales that
have SO long led captive aud left entranced
the youthful mind, have found their parallel
IN these latter days. Steam is the magical
,ornet and commerce the lamp Of Aladdin.
The rational grounds of human belief and
,be arguments drawn from tame and sober
experience, so long deemed impregnable, have
been broken up and scattered. Reason scoffi
at nothing, and even scepticism is afraid to re
iect what seems the grossest absurdity. A spirit
of active search, restless inquiry and impatient
innovation, is universally prevalent. Nor is !
confined to one object or to one pursuit. TN
coextensive with all objects and oil pursuits.
On no other hypothesis can we satisfactorily
account for the vagaries in politics, the nev
theories, and the scores of isms that abound
Since wise and patient investigators hav
made startling discoveries in science, weak bu
aspiring men imagine that they have mad
like discoveries in politics. Each tbeorist ha

rHa ELECTIONS.

It is still matter of doubt who has been
elected Governor of New York.
In Massachusetts, the Know-nothings have
carried everything. They have elected their
candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and all their candidates for Congress
and they have carried both branches of the
State Legislature.
A dispatch has been received in this city
which announces that Illinois has gone for the
Democrats re-electing the Nebraska candi-
dates to Congress, and electing Democratic
State Legislature, thereby insuring the re-elec-
ton of General Shields to the Senate. We are
afraid that this is too good to be true; but the
Washington Union of yesterday states that it
has received confrmatory information. Truely
such result would be proud triumph for
Judge Douglas, one to which he is eminently
entitled by the boldness, yigor, and ability with
which he encountered the factious coalition
which has assailed him with so much 6endish
malignity. If Illinois has stood firm it will i'm.
part thrill of pleasure to every sound Demo
crat in the country; forwhen such men as Doug
las, Shields, and Richardson are sustained we
may expect to see at once evidences of areac-
ton in those States which have been led astray
by sudden clamor and overrun by the loosely
joined forces ofunprincipled combinations.
