Mr.. Gid lilgl on the Higher Law.


The Hon. }. Il GDDINGs lecturud last

or Law. lla found tho higher Law through
out nature, in tho succession of the Seasons,
IN graVitation, in the operations OF all things.
IhIs Garth, no SAID, was speeding through

"WHAT SHALL WE Do TO Re SAVED ."
1t would seem that our friend George
Z. Paine has concluded to give his
attention, for season, to religious sub
Jects. In answer to the urgent and Oft
repeated inquiry, "What shall we do to
be saved ?" he has actually written out
and presented to the world, "Plan of
Salvation" Though Mr.. Paine evidently
has all the Zeal of a new convert, it is to
be regretted that his "plan" is too narrow
and clrcumscribed to include any but
stockholders in the PainesviIIe and Hud-
son Railroad. Now, there are thousands
OF good, moral men, who own no stock in
that Railroad, and who are unable TO pur.
chase any--must they, on that account, be
lrretreNably lost ? "Is there no balm in
Gllead" for them? Again we are left
in doubt whether by stockholders Mr..
Paine means all those whose names are
on the books of the Company. or those
only who have paid all their nstalIments,
and are anxiously awaiting to see the cars
in motion. If only the latter, we presume
there is more than one "poor sinner" who
would hesitate about "selling himself out
of house and home" in order to secure
the benefit OF this new "Phn OF saliva
Iion," il NJ. Paine were not led to doubt
its efficacy himself. When there are SO
many Perishing souls, why make such
efforts to save corporation, which has no
soul ?

ETA young poet has handed in for
publication, a number Of productions, pur-
porting to be original, among which is one,
entitled "The Hight Of the ridiculous, "
which, if we mistake not, was written by
Oliver Wendell Holmes. Mr.. Holmes is
a good poet--we have always admired
bis poetry-bat we don't see why our
author should borrow anything from him,
on that subject.

The New CENT Poisonous Several in
stances have occurred in different parts oe
the country, where children have died from
the effects OF poison taken into tho system
by swallowing the new nickel cent. As this
coin is small and easily swallowed, there
is great danger in allowing young children
TO have them in their possession. Tho
motal which composes t has had fatal ef-
feet, and would seom to bo poisonous. Pa

The following, taken from the n. Y. Sun
may serve to throw some light on tho sud.
den and mysterious death of Mike Walsh !;
"lt is rumored that tho late Mr. Key, who
was killed. by SickIos, possessed knowledge
which placed Mr.. Sickos and his wfo, and
some eminent parties, entirely within his
(Koy's) power, and that Mr.. Walsh was
possessed OF similar information, with still
further facts. Bo this as it may, Mr. Walsh
has, it is stated, been heard recently, iE ro-
marking upon the sickles case, to comment
upon it in an unfriendly manner to Sickos
aud SO as to convey the impression that he
could make revelations useful to the prose-
cution."

The apparent "glaring inaccuracies" is easily
accounted for. The Herald Reporter has way of
magnifying the R. R. Receipts, which, we must say
is peculiarly his own. He gives all the R. R. Re
eeipts, including all which passes through to the
East, as the amount apparently received here, there
by conveying a false impression in regard to the
business done in our city and the amonnt of pro-
duce received on consignment The Leaders,
table of receipts consists simply of the actual and
bona fde amount of produce received here by our
business houses.
The Herald has been in the habit of including
the entire business of the railroads in its local
ceipts, and consignments from st. Louis, Louis
vile, New Orleans, to New York, Boston, Buffalo,
Liverpool, Havre, &c. have accordingly figured in
the busin. S. of Cleveland
tparaded the above comparative table of the
receipts as we gave them, and its own statement
of them, and with amusing impudence proceeds
to deduct one statement from the other-the dis
cTepancy being assumed in each instance to be
an error on our part. The entire statement of the
Herald is gross attempt at Misrepresentation, a
practice which seems to be a natural trait in its
author.
Upon the same principle, in order to make a
big show of business, the Herald would be justi-
fed in counting the cargo of every vessel that
calls atour port its way to Buffalo, as part Of
receipts The village of Painesville could with
equal grace figure in every ton Of produce that
passes that place on the C. & E R R. in its state
ment ofits receipts. A little one horse station on
the n. Y. & E. R. R. can show perhaps greater
receipts on the same plan than our city can. This
novel and unique method of making out big bust
ness for our city. reminds strongly of the fable
Of thefrog endeavoring to swell himself to the size
of an OK.
We endeayor to give correct and accurate state.
ment of the bona yfds receipts of produce in our
market, so as to enable the business man to form
some idea Of the amount added to the stock on
hand.
In conclusion we would advise the author of the
Commerce and Trade of Cleveland" or some such
title, pamphlet purporting to give the amount of
the business of Cleveland, that he would improve
his chance for obtaining admission 10 better
world, by remembering the old sdage, Honesty is
the best policy" and stop endeayoIing to deceive
the commercial community with his false and un-
reliable statements.

The President approves the rejection of the Cass
Yrissari treaty by Nicaragua.
The recertion of Gen. JareZ, last November, was
regarded by President Martinez as an abandon
ment of the treaty by his Government, and is the
cause of the non ratification.
1t is understood that Sir Gore Ousley's treaty
will stipulate for equal privileges for England and
the United States, and will be acceptable to the
Government.
In the opinion Of Gen. Jarez, the great obstacle
to the settlement of affairs with Nicaragua is now
removed.
