Ministers turn queer summerscts, and Mr..
Horace Mann has APPLY said that crcum.
stances alter principles as well as cases
Here is sample: \ California miner died,
and having been much respected, it was de-
termned to give him regular funeral A
digger in the vicinity, who, report said, had
once been powerful preacher in thc United
States, was called upon to ofcate after
drinks all round," the party proceeded,
with becoming gravity, to the grave, the
officiating minister commenced with an cx-
temporc prayer, during which all knelt
around the grave. So far was well; but the
prayer WIS unnecessarily long, ana at last,
some of those who knolt began, in an az.
stracted way, TO finger the loose earth that
had been thrown up from lhc grave. 1t was
thick with gold; and an excitement was
immcdletly apparent in the kneoling crowd
Upon this, the preacher stopped, and bland.
ly inquired, Boys, what's that? Goldr he
continued, and the richest kind of digCings--
the congregation are dismissed" The poor
miner was taken from his grave and buried
elsewhere, while the funeral party with the
parson at Their head, lost no time in pros
pcctins the new digging.

BANlsnMENT OF AN INSANE PERSON BY THE
AUTHORITIES OF MISREPRESENTATION
we published an account Of the re-shipment
to Liverpool, by the Commonwealth Of Mass.
achuso;ts, of lone woman and her infant,
whose only crime was poverty. The cruel
ty Of the act called forth, as it merited, uni
versal eyccration from the press of the conn.
try. 1t was supposed to be the extreme
length to which the peculiar philanthropy
and Americanism Of Massachusetts could
go; that suppoStion, however, was not well
founded. 1t now appears that the same YES
sci which carried the widowed mother and
father.eSs infant from the capital Of New
England carried also Hugh Carr who has
resided within the State for the past thir-
teen years, paid his taxes regularly as good
citizen, and taken out his naturalization pa
pers. Unfortunately, Mr.. Carr some six
months since, by one Of the nscrutablc dis
pensatons of Divine Providence, became q
lunatic, and his relatiyes-who are album
dainty able and willins to support him
placed him in an asylum, in accordance
with the advice of friends The managers
Of the asylum would not allow the friends Of
Carr to visit him, but promised that he
should be well cared for. But the author.
ties resolved to get rid Of this troublesome
tax upon the public bounty, and secretly
shipped him off to Liverpool, thrusting the
poor unatic out upon the world to perish.
The brother Of Mr.. Carr, it is said, has
threatened to bring an action Of law in the
matter, and it is understood the uncharitable
officials have sent word to Europe to have
the unfortunate victim sen, back by the first
steamer. THIS simple act Of justice, how
ever, does not mitigate the righteousness Of
their conduct in tho gremises.--N J. Her.

ALIENS MOVING MACHINE.

To the Editor Of The " Trt5uss
SIR: Iuoticed in The TRIBUNE of July - an ex-
tract from what purported TO be "a Report on Al
lens Moving Machine al the trial in Dedbam, MSS.
As this alleged report was in the highest degree I'M
favorable to my machine, and as the comments with
which the extract was prefaced and 10 lowed were, if
possible, more so, wrote Col. NJ p. Wilder, Presi
dent of the Norfolk Co. Agrcul ural Society, under
whose auspices the trial held, to the quoted re-
port As expected it turned out TO be report at
GH but simply newspaper article got up for the occa
sion by the editor else, whether for a con
sderaion or otherwise doth not appear.
H. his reply TO me Col. Wilder expressed the o0lnOn
of the highly intei. eDt Committee appslnted for the
OCCASION that the machine had not Mad far trial,
from the fact that person had the management of It
who was wholly unused 10 any moving machine, aud
who had but once before seen one OF any kind
IN operation: and he further expressed the wish that
another machine might he sent that should fairly ex
hibit its capabilities This courteous suggestion
promptly responded TO, and two of Aliens moving
machines sent for another trial. This was
bad on the farm of Aaron ID. Weld, Esq, of Rox
burr, on tie Goth inst, IN presence of nearly all the
Committee and between Thirty and forty Of the most
intelligent az culturiss of Norfolk COunt-and there
are none more so in any other county, whether in or
out of Massachusetts, From the unsolicited and spon-
taueous expression of their opinion, shall suboin bat
a sing brief extract flom ach of these articles ON
the subject The first is from The BOsf0n J0ura0t of
July u, ana the Other TWO from Inc Dedt0W Ud-etto
OF July 2s.
"Tie company witnessed an experiment in now
ing with one of Aliens Patent Moving Ma'hnes. The
machine was lled in heavy and light trass and moved
a smooth, clean swath, leaving no grass standing to
be trimmed off by the scythe. The party were unan-
in their praise Of the perfection and utility of the
machine
1.-TWO of Aliens Moving Machines the
ground and operated very favOrably, much TO the
credit of that patent which had previously been unOr
tunaie in its experience in this State owing to lack Of
skill in its management to the reporters who have
looked at it with prejudiced eyes. The company at
Mr.. Yields, con posed OF gentlemen OF AZ least aver
age judgment and discretion, seemed to regard the
Allen machine, there exhibited ana operated, equal
in merit TO any Others, no matter bow extensively
those Others have been cOmphmented."
"Tbe machine was operated in heavy and light
graes and subjected to severe and rigid scrutiny.
We heard but one opinion expressed as to the WORK
ing of the machine and that of decided satisfaction.

OFFICIAL POLITENESS.

To ne Editor Of The ". Y. Tribune
SIR: At about O'Clock Thursday evening, a
party Of ladies and gentleman from Brooklyn flights
visited Governors Island for the purpose of enjoying
moonlight walk on the batteries. Upon landing, they
were informed by of the senries that in obedience
to his orders he could not permit them to visit the
ico,ks but that they could remain on the Island till
half past nine Not wishing to be disappointed of their
Intended pleasure, and supposing the Commanding
Officer would readily accord the desired permissiOn
portion Of the party went toward his house which is
within nclosure west Of the letty, first receiving
from the gardiner that they not tres
passing; while portion remained lear the landing.
4 few minutes after ward, gentleman of the party
standing Il barge was furiously accosted by
sergeant who asked HIM insultngy wat he vas dong
"dere and upon being told he took occasion 10 make
a number Of improper remarks regarding the ladies',
until bis right TO do so questioned by the visitor,
when the Infatuated sergeant ordered him In peremp
tory manner TO ego in that boat"
Not having violated any law of his country or regu-
lation Of the establishment, and therefore rot
knowedging the rie lit of any 10 compel him. and
feeling himself the aggrieved party, he refused.
The fellow shouts Corporal of the Guard :" nine
soldiers rush out and peacesbly disposed, orbearing
citizen is arrested like feou and in the presence too
of arty of ladies. But the best ia TO come. On
the way the rest of the party is met returning. Very
naturally they inGur what all this meant, when this
violent sergeant orders his 10 arrest the ladies'
This is certainly most outrageous proceeding dis
grace alike to our service, to our institutions and our
country. For the future, let Americans beware of
visiting Governors Island, for fear of this enraged
sergeant. a promenade on the landing is exclusively
reserved for the foreign nobility visiting this City.
Because an American citizen refuses TO answer such
improper questions the brutal passions of this ter
rife soldier require he is subjected to the most igno
nnious treatment, three of the weaker threat
ened with mprisonmeri. The heart of this valiant
sergeant melted before the enreates of the ladies' and
the party returned 10 Brooklyn in s,a.e of wonder
and establishment scarcely TO be conceived. Any
further redress than public sympathy is hardly to be
hoped for, and with that view this communication is
writer As guarantee of its entire truth inclose
my address having been, myself,
ONE OF THE PARTY.
