TIE THREE GREAT PowERs. Tho
Press the Pulpit, and Woman, are the
| three great powers Of the carth--tho ir-
resistible levers which constantly raise
humanity to a higher and still higher
degree Of progress. Without them, the
bottom Of things would fall out, and So
ciety be spilled back into original chaos.
And Of these great powers Woman is the
greatest. The Press makes the people
intelligent and patriotic; Woman makes
them industrious, gencrousand romantic.
The Press rules our inlcllects, the Pulpit
our conscienccs, Woman our hearts =
The Press sways public opinion and tho
Pulpit sways moral convictions; but Wo-

falling off even in church going, were
there no girls there, and if Woman is not
"frst in war;" she is certainly; First in
peace, and FIRST in the hearts Of her coun-
trymcn." And she has her influence in
war, too; men would not fight merely for
masculine applause. II is for "the girl
he has left behind him." that the soldier
chiefly bears his burdens, runs his risks
and deals his sturdiest blows; and his lau-
rel wreath Of triumph would be but a
barren symbol could he not lay it at her
feet. The world is governed more by
the heart than by the head; and the heart
is Woman's empire, wherein she rules to
elevate and refine. Without the sunshine
Of her influence, the heart Of man would
be a bog filed with noxious growth-a
mere fungus oozing slime, in which tho
the rose Of affection would never germi-
nate nor the flowers Of eloquence bloom.
Woman is the engine Of lifc--the great
motive power Of love, yalor ambition and
civilization. May fortune favor her, man
protect her, and God bless her.
Eg" The laws Of. Nature are just, but
terrible. There is no weak mercy in
them Cause and consequence arc in
separablo and inevitable The FIRE burns,
the water browns, the air consumes, the
earth buries. And perhaps Il would DO
well for our race If the punishment Of
crimes against the laws Of man were as
inevitable as the punishment Of crimes
against the laws Of Nature were man
as unerring in his judgment as Nature.

What great outrage It must be in the ewes of all
good Locofocos that the dead Irish and Germans
should be disfranehised that they should not be
allowed their votes. It Is old saying that living
dog is better than dead lion, but the editor OF the
Democrat no doubt thinks that dead Irishman OF
Dutchman is better than live native. Our people
have manifested pretty strong aversion to having
America governed by live foreigners, and We may
have opportunity Of seeing whether they will be
more reconcled to her being governed by fleshless
Irish and Dutch skeletons with five feet Of earth over
them.
We presume there can be no question as to the
mode in which the editor Of the Democrat would
have the votes Of his dead foreigners TAKEN Unques
tionably, he would have the old mode kept up. The
skeletons could hardly be expected even in response
to the most vehement rayng cries Of the organs to
present themselves in person at the polls on election

the fragment of some ship which has struck miles

except of Heaven and no messenger Of its agony to
earth except this log, which floats SO buoyanty on
the tide! We may weave some such tragic story as
we idly watch the fuctuating advance Of the dark
log; but whatever we weave, the story will not be

REsuRREcrroNIsTs IN CHICAGO The Chicago
Tribune Of the 10th inst informs us that Martin
Qunlan, the City Sexton, and student of the Rush
Medical College named Eli York, had been arrested
for stealing dead bodies from the cemetery in that
city. "A watch had been set for them at the ceme-
terry, and they caught in buggy in which they
had the corpse of a man and one of woman.
Mr.. Wright. accompanied by detective, went to
the cemetery on Saturday to examine the graves
which had been robbed, and during their search
found two other bodies concealed in the bushes and
which were in sacks similar to those covering the
bodies found in the buggy. These, with the bodies
taken two weeks before, made eight which had been
disnterred. Another grave had been opened and
rope placed around the body for the purpose of with
drawing 1t from the coffin, but the scoundrels discov
cred from the peculiar smell that the inmate had
died of virulent smallpox, and they fled from the
contagion, leaving the rope behind them.
The third man who was found in the wagon is still
at large, but he will be shrewd enough if he manages
to escape every measure has been taken to ensure
his arrest. This is one of the most atrocious cases
which has been known in our city, and it is to be re-
GREETED that the penalty, fine of $780, is so light.
In connection with the affair, have learned that
about two years ago stranger from the East died in
this city, upon whose person papers found which
showed him to be the owner of considerable property
and it was deemed proper to cause inquiries to be
made in regard to his relatives if he had any. In
formation was sent to the chief of police Of an East
ern city, where it was supposed the deceased be-
onged, who soon returned word that person was on
the way to Chicago who would probably identity the
body which meantime had been buried in the Protes-
tant Cemetery. The person arrived here and pro-
ceeded to have the grave opened. 1t was found
empty Thinking that possibly they had opened the
wrong grave they proceeded to the earth from
another This likewise WAS empty. Curiosity now
led to the opening, one after another of eleven new
made graves in the public cemetery and all but one
of them were found to have been robbed of their
tenants.

" "A HIDING PLACE OF RoBEsPIERRE.-A curious dis
coyery has lately been made, while repairing the
house formerly occupied by the Jacobn Club during
the great revolution and known as the Hotel de
Londres, in the Rue ST. Hacinthe, St. Honore. The
Club which guided the destinies of the revolution
during few years had often boased of allowing
the ambition Of Robespierre and other leaders to pro-
gress so far and no farther; and the members by
vote had passed law which entitled the majority to
exclude from any particular seance any particular
member whose interests might lead him to sway the
opinions Of the Club. Robespierre, whose ambition
had rendered him an object of suspicion, had often
been voted out of the assembly; and it has been a
matter Of surprise to the historian of the tme that
he could SO long have maintained his influence in spite
of the violence of the opposition thus permitted The
secret is now revealed: A small rooma hiding place
in the thickness of the wahas just been discovered
opening by trapdoor into the very hall where the
deliberations were carried on and whence he could
listen to the measures to be taken against him. and
thus forearmed, have power to defeat them. 1t is
evident that this hiding place must have been occu
pied by Robespierre and when first entered by the
workmen the traces Of his presence were still visible
in the journal which lay upon the table, and the
writing paper from which had been torn small por-
tion, if for the purpose of making memorandum.
The only book which was found in the place was
volume Of Florain, open at the second chapter of
Claudiene. TWAS covered with snuff, which had evil
IDENTIFY been shaken from the readers shrtfrll, and
bore testimony to the truth of history which records
His presence seemed still to hang about that small
space, as though he had quilted it but the moment
before and, singular enough, the marks of his feet
though he had recently trodden through the mud,
were still visible on the tiles with which the flooring
is COMPOSED. +

GAMBLINa TABLES IN BADEN. ApEN.--In recent
letter from Baden Baden the European correspondent
Of the New York Times says: 55ses.,.- s45 :.
After watching long time the gaming tables, one
sees that after all for the man. and especially for the
woman that must play, these tables offer many and
Important advantages. Certainly they would not be
tolerated thus publicly as the chief and principal at
United States. But since the gambler is gambler,
be he rich or poor in spite OF the prohibitions of the
law, the German people ask why not regulate gam
ing by law and make it public ?
Thus, their customers are mostly found among
those who have money to lose men who have arrived
at the age of reason. Cheating is never practced,
and the players mind is at ease on this score. A
certain chance it is trne rests in favor of the bank
but the player knows it, and "takes the responsible
ity.1 With twenty francs you may have the preten-
sion, that is to say, you free to try to gain an
enormous sum, which lies before you and which you
are sure to be paid If you gain it while with another
player your gains are often reduced to the honor
alone of gaining.
Here, if you gain, you do not have the remorse OF
having ruined a friend, or of constraining man in
need. You are not exposed to the most dsagreeable
OF quarrels the quarrel OF the gaming table, because
here there is never quarrel You are never the sub
Ject OF suspicion by prolonged good luck, as in
ordinary game. Before the imperSona individual
who controls the bank you do not fear to be playing
u bad company You cannot pass the night at play,
since The ksadi closes at ii o'clock. But perhaps,
better than all you never lose more than you have in
your cannot stake your paper, nor your
railroad stock, nor your houses or FARMS nor the
patrimony Of your wife or children since no mans
wora is taken at the table. The banker knows no.
0ovy hs Knows only the money thrown before him.
4 Mnat do we see on the contrary in the gambling
neils o. england or the United States? There men
give way TO their passions, and ruin themselves and
.neir families; cheating is the rule and not the ex
cepuoa ana liquor steps in to add its terrible infu
