"A few months since, the partner
of a commercial house in this city
vas taken to lunatic asylum, ut
t, rly derauged, as was said, by his
unparalleled prosperity in business.
During the year previous, his firm
had cleared Sl,300,000 He died

was valued a, $2,500,O00, all iuves-
ted in the concern Of which he was
a partner. The firm itself failed the
other day, and 's now said to be ut
terly insDlvent. One item Of the
assets Of the deceased's estate WAS
a thousand shares Of the Illinois
Central Railroad stock, which was
selling at the time Of decease at
Sl4O sh re, and which was worth
after paying up the instalments,
$800,000. The same property sold

A Knock Down Argument.

A certain man went to a DeryisIi
and proposed three questions: First,
"Why do they say God is ominipre-
sent? ] DO not see Him in any
place-show me where he is. Second.
Why is a man punished for crimes
since whatever he does proceeds
from God? Man has no free will for
he cannot do anything contrary to
the will of God, and if he had pow
er be would co every thing for his
own good. Third. How Can God
punish Satin in hell fire, since be is
formed of that element? and what
impression can FIRE make on ITSELF"
The Dervish took up large clod
of earth, ard struck him on the head
With it. The man went to the Cady
and said:
II proposed three questions to
such a Dervish who flung clod of
earth at my head, which made my
head ache"
The Cady having sent for the
Defvish asked of him:
"Wby did you throw that clod Of
earth at his head, instead of answer
ing his questions?"
The Dervish replied:
The clod of earth was an answer
to his speech. He says he has q
pain in the head-let him showit to me
and ] will make God visible to bin.
And why does he exhibit complaint
against me? Whatever / did was
the act Of God, and / did not strike
without the will Of God. What pow
er do / possess? And as be is
compounded of the earth, hew can
he suffer from that element!''
The man was confo:nded and the
Cady highly pleased with the Der
yish's answer.

BONES.

There is a bone-boiling establish

this CITY alone, an average of Sl0o

glue, and when they are done with

two cents "a pound. The hoois ol
horned cattle are disposed of at the
rate of $40 ton, and are afterwards
made into horn buttons and Prusslan
blue. On the arrival of the bones
at the factory, the thigh and ia"
homes are so sawed as to edmlt OF the
removal of the marrow. They are
then thrown into vast cauldron and
boiled until the marrow and lat SUB
stances attached to them are thor
oughlv extracted; the fat is then SKIM
med off and placed in coolers, and the
bones are deposited in heaps ior as
sortment. The thigh bones are pla'
ced in one pile for the turner's; the
laws and other bones suitable for but
tons are placed in second pile; the
bones suitable for bone black come

CLERICAL MORALS.

The N. Y. Tribune, IN recent
article, remarked:
"Among the bankruptcies Of our
day, the moral insolyencies of clergy
men seem almost as frequent and
quite as deplorable as any other.
Making due allowance for the rapid
growth of our country aud the more
perfect diffusion ofintelligence, it is
still evident that the number ol
clerical culprits is greater than ever
before" I@
This is undoubtedly true; and the
Broolly n Eagle very correctly says,
that the increase of clerical debauch-
fery commenced precisely at that
point of time when certain pol.
ton Of the clergy exchanged the
Bible for the Tribune, and took to
study Greeley's free-love doctrines
instead OF TIE teachings Of the A
postles and Holy Fathers Of the
Church. The taste for Tribune the
cries and that for adultery and hot
whiskey sprung up simultaneously
and from the same Source. II the
clergy return to the Gospel and cease
preaching "bleeding Kansas and
Maize Liquor Laws, and befouline
honest men with slanderous vituper
alton, their morals will improve; bat
If they go OH re-ecboing the vagar'
les of Greeley, We would advise the
proprietors Of whiskey bottles and
good looking women to deep SHARP
look out whenever, these articles
come into proximity with a white
cravat. j
