Is MURDER CRIxE? The Republican
papers have been week after week eulogiz-
ing the chief actor in the late terrible Har-
per's Ferry tragedy, and speaking of him
in terms which would Imply that he was a
saint hero, a martyr. Surely it is time
that these gentlemen should look into their
code Of morals. 1t has heretofore been the
general sentiment of civilized countries
that murder is crime; is that idea becoming
obsolete! have we fallen to that depth of deg.
radiation in this Protestant Christian land.
that an outlaw may invade the homes Of
the unoffending, hurry their souls into etcr-
nifty, and by deliberate, long premeditated
design attempt what, if successful must have
resulted in the indescribable horrors of
wholesale rapine and murder, and vet be
heralded to the world MS dcyout Christian.
and his words treasured up as those of a
dying martyr? Is murder no crime? Are
protested ministers Of the Gospel so fallen
from their high Office that they can sing
paeans III honor Of a man whose hands were
reeking in blood? Beautiful teachers of
morals arc they! Let us not travel to italy
for samples Of moral degradation-we have
them at hand. What are we coming to-

A Curious Fact.

At the time of the explosion on board of the Great Eastern, curious fact was mo- ticed; those who were most hurt and who first died, seemed the least injured when they first appeared above deck, and even were able to walk aft without assistance On this point writer in the London Times says:
 A man blown up by gunpowder is a mere figure of raw flesh which seldom moves after the explosion. Not so with men blown up by steam, who fora few mi nutes are able to walk about, apparently unhurt, though in fact, mortally injured beyond all hope of recovery. This was so with one or two, who, as they emerged from below, walked aft with that lndescrl- bable expression in their faces only resem- bling intense astonishment and certain faltering of the gait and movements like one who walks in his sleep. Where not grimed by the smoke or ashes, the pecu- liar bright, soft whiteness of the face, hands, or breast, told at once that the skin. thoucb unbroken, had, in fact, been boiled hv tbe steam. One man walked along w;tb the movement and look have endea- rorod to describe, and seemed quite un- conscious that the flesh of his thighs (most nrobably by the ashes from the furnace,) was burnt in deep holes To some one who came to his assistance, he said quietly II am all right; there are others worse than me; go look after them" This poor man was the first to die.
