but Of the first explorers Of the Mis-

on it, little is said. Many are ignorant
Of even their names, while others
know nothing Of them or their deeds.
History has neglected them and it re.

The Sic IS tragedy at Washington
which has created SO much excitement
throughout the country. is another ev-
idence Of the growing corruption OF
"polite society" in this country. In
the courtly circles Of the older coun
tries foundations and adulteries arc
winked at by all. In Paris especially,
polite" Paris, gallantries and intrigues
have tor years past been one of the
main features Of its society. There,
the wife Of one man may be the mis-
tress OF another, openly and to the
knowledge Of all save her husband
who politely" ignores all acquaint-
xuos with the fact-without losing her
position in society. Corruption has
grown into well understood system
less acknowledged: but not less under
stood and acquicsed in, than in some
Spanish American cities.
And in this country, we seem to be
fast vergipg towards the same state Of
affairs. But few weeks since we read
of Fifth Avenue Belle" in New
York who in company with another
lady friend spent the greater portion
of Q night, in company with couple
Of gentlemen,at Taylor's saloon where
the whole party drank and caroused
and became so "obfuscated" that in
the morning she found her jewelry
valued at several thousand dollars in
her stocking. Later we have heard
whispers Of a nu'nber Of intrigues
with married ladies moving IN the first
circles, in which Lord Napier the Brit
ish Minister to this country had in
volved himself, and it is even intimat-
cd that his recall is more to be attrib-
uted to the open character Of his dis
honorable connections than any polit-
ical causes.
The intrigue between Mrs. Sickles
and Key it appears has been common
talk" among tie habitues Of the "po.
lite circles" in which both parties
moved, for months past, yet so long as
it was unknown to or unoticed by Mr.
Sickles, so long as the injured husband
neglected to snake scene" regarding
it, neither party lost caste : but boil
continued to receive and be received
by their "polite' acquaintance.
Let us hope that the fearful lesso,
which we have before US in the untime
" and terrible death Of Mr.. Key ant
the everlasting disgrace Of Mrs. Sick
les will be remembered.

Tho AbomlnatiOns Of Splrltuallsm. .

DR.. Hatch, of New York, the hus-
oand Of Cora Hatch, the great medium,
makes what he calls an exposure Of
the indecencies of Spirituallsm. DR..
Hatch is engaged in a divorce suit
against his wife /; and his statements
are to be taken with many grains Of
allowance. We print the following
extracts from his revelations for what
they are worth
The most damming iniquities are
everywhere perpetratcd in spiritual
circles, very small per centagc of
which ever comes to public attention,
| care not whether it be spiritual or
mundane, the facts exists and should
demand the attention and just condem-
nation of an intelligent community
Look at the iniquities which have
been committed within the Fast two
weeks in this city, and that by Spirit
ual mediums who claim to be controll-
ed by angels. 1t is worse than useless
to talk to the Spiritualists against this
condition Of things, for those vino oc-
cupy the highest position among them
are aiding and abetting in all classes
of iniquities which prevail amongst
them. The abrogation of marriage,
bigamy, accompanied by robbery, theft,
rapes, are all chargcable to Spiritual
ism. most solemnly affirm that do
not believe that there has, during the
past five years, arisen any class of peo-
pie who were guilty Of SO great a
variety Of crimes and indccencies as
the Spirltualists OF America.
For long time l was swallowed
up IN its whirlpool Of excitement, and
comparatively paid but little attention
to its evils, believing that much good
might result from the opening of the
avenues of Spiritual intercourse. But
during the past eight months l have
devoted my attention to q critical in
vestigation Of its moral, social, and
religious bearing, and stand appalled,
before the revelations of its awful and
damming realities, and would flee from
its influences as / would from the
miasma which would destroy both
soul and body. Spiritualism and pros
titution, with a rejection Of Christiani-
ty, are twin sisters, which everywhere
90 hand in hand. With but little in
quiry have been able to count M
over 76 mediums, most Of whom have
wholly abandoned their conjugal rela.
tions, others living with their para.
mours called affinities," others l.:
promiscuous adultery, and still other,
exchanged partners. Old men and
women, who have passed the meridian
OF lie, are not unfrequently the vic.
tins OF this hallucination. Many o.
the mediums lose all sense of mora
obligations, and yield to whatever in
iiuence may for the time be brought tc
bear upon them. Their pledges, tn.
integrity Of their oaths ere no ,more
reliable than the shifting breeses o
the whirlwind, for they are made t.
} yield to the powers which for the tim,
control them.

Among the passengers in the Canada,

Among the passengers in the Canada,
is Richard Golden, the distinguished
enthropist and statesman. He is
second visit to the United States,
having been in this country some years
since, before he made himself as emf
uent as he now Is in the political
world. Mr.. Golden was born in the
year 1900, and is consequently Of the
same age with this century. He was
originally engaged in trade as a maker
Of cotton prints, but in the year ls41
Was sent to Parliament from the
borough Of Stockport, where his large
practical information, his intrepidty Of
mind, and his clear and vigorous clo-
quence raised him to prominent
position rs the leader OF the great Free
Trade party. Through his exertions,
both in and out Of Parliament, more
than to any other man, the repeal Of
the Corn Laws was carried, and free
commerce established as the permanent
policy of Great Britain. Since the
triumph Of the noble principles Of tree
dom he has not been so conspicuous
in Legislation as he was before-but
he has net been inactive. Transferred
from the small borough of Stockport
to the large constituency of the West
Riding, Mr.. Golden retained, while he
continued to be member of Parlia-
ment, a commanding and useful posi-
ton. During the Crimean war he had
the manliness and the independence to
express his own sentiments, which
were those Of peace, to the damage of
his political influence and standing,
but not Of his reputation as reflect
ing and noble-hearted ma.
Mr.. Cooden's visit to this country
is, we understand, wholly Of private
nature.-N. e. Evening Post.

crets Of their mission closed beneath
the thoughtful brow.
Joliet, of whom .ess 10 known than OF
! Marquette or 1ssalle, was desirous OF
finding the "great r'ver," so often
mentioned by the Indians. Accord
ingly, in June, 1878, h accompanied
by Marquette and few assistants, set
out in bark canoe. Silently, and
enraptured by the charming scenes OF
beauty all around them they fioated on
until they reached the point where the
waters of the Wisconsin unite with
those Of the Mississippi. Here the
travellers paused for little, then push
ed out into the current Of the great
river" which bore them or to the
mouth of the Ohio. Having made
their long journey, they returned, and
entered the Illinois river, Uncovered
all of that country through which it
flows, and reached Green Bay, when
Joliet took his departure for Quebec,
to make known their adventures'-
From that time Joliet disappeared, and
is not known in connection with 9th
er discoveries; but he accomplished
enough to rave his memory forever
cherished.
Marquette still pursued his adven-
lures, but he was more OF q rellglOnIst
than a man of practical enterprise
he sought new places to find other
tribes of red men to whom he could
declare the existence of Supreme
Ruler and the efficacy of the Cross
lie looked upon the progress Of bis
religion as the progress Of perfection;
his spirit was always calm, bis enthu-
siasm interrupted by selishness, and
his genius unclouded by passion and
the destinations of the world; with
the Indians he was q favorite, and by
his countrymen he was revered.-
About two years after he discovered
the Mississippi, in passing from the
Chicago River toward Mackinac on
Lake Michigan, he turned the canoe
into a small stream flowing to the
Lake, landed, built rough altar, con-
secrated it, repeated his prayers, and
died chanting praises to the better
land.
The last of the Observation-Disclosures
the greatest. lie was educated under
the control of the Jesuit instructors,
resigned his connection with the or
der, and began his explorations in the
Wet. He followed the track of Jol-
let and Marquette, but surpassed them
in the extent Of his discoveries. He
planted colonies along the Illinois and
Mississippi, and other streams, and
stimulated his companions to activity
and endurance, by example and kind
attention to their wants. But envy
