aHray with negro, on Monday last, died
yesterday forenoon. Mr.. Dugan was Pres
ident Of the st. Paul Typographical Society
when it existed, and was again elected
President last spring, when an attempt was
made to reorganize the Society. He leaves
wife and two children.
A most villainous act was committed bv
some unknown person at Elyria, Ohio, one
night recently. The switches of the
Cleveland s. Toledo Railroad 1t that point
were all turned the wrong way and wedges
were driven into the frogs, to make the
work of destruction certain upon the ar
rival of train. Fortunately, no train ar
rived before the trap was discovered.
On Friday last a poor fellow named
Robert Eagan was picked up in the streets
of st. Paul insane, and sent to the hospital.
His wife died few weeks ago, which fact
was the cause Of his insanity. Two nights
before he had spent mostly on the streets,
ringing door bells and asking for admit
lance wherever he saw light, and hiding
different amounts of money in different
places. One sum Of $500 he placed under
the door mat of Bishop Graoes residence.
His money was all recovered and placed in
safe hands.

Another Fenian, John Selyin, has been
sentenced by the Canadian Government to
die on December 18th.
Advices by the Atlantic Cable state that
the British Government is making prepa-
rations for q Fenian uprising in England,
which is generally looked for.
Colonel Roberts has issued an address to
the Fenian Brotherhood, urging them to
hurry forward their military organizations,
in order to be ready at call for any emer-
genoy.
John Mitchell is said to have reached
these shores on the 9Th, from France, and
rumor has it that his appearance here has
something to do with the Mexico Fenian
movement.
Rev. Daniel S. Lumsden, an Episcopalian
clergyman who accompanied the Fenian
missionary force into Canada, and was
taken prisoner, was tried by the Court at
Toronto on Saturday, the Sd, and acquitted.
according to the evidence, Lumsden was
a chaplain for the Fenians, but greatly un-
der the influence of strong drink.
The Herald's Toronto special says: Great
dissatisfaction exists on the verdict in the
case of Lumaden. The Catholics in the city
assert boldly that Lumsden was discharged
on religious grounds, and that the evidence
against him was stronger than that against
Mcmahon.

THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONERS.
The Pacific railway is especially favored
among American railway enterprises, be-
cause of the existence OF natural obstacles
and bulk of undertaking that would rest
fatally on any embarking of private capt.
tai in the work. 1t could not be built with
out Government aid. The Government has
appointed its Commissioners to examine and
supervise every mile of track before it is ac-
cepted, and this was done by the Commits
sioners present on the 4ate occasion. Their
functions are not an ornamental sinecure,
as the history Of their connection with the
road abundantly shows; railroad men all
agree that it is well built.
THE BUSINESS ASPECT.
1t is very difficult to estimate the business
Of the Pacific road. Colorado, Utah, and
Montana have population of probably
quarter of million, In 1864 it was esti-
mated upon very carefully prepared data
that forty millions of pounds of freight
were carried over the plains in wagons. In
'65 it increased to two hundred millions of
pounds, and employed 5000 wagons, sc. 900
cattle, $4,000 horses and mules, and 10000
men as drivers, guards, &C., making the
cost for freight alone last year nearly
enough to pay $50,000per mile for the con
struction OF the road. Thousands of pas
sengers were carried at $l75 per head from
the Missouri river to Colorado, and $3.50
to Salt Lake City. Now the Overland Stage
Company charge 1925 from Omaha to Den-
yer, $3.50 to Salt Lake City, and about $500
though to California. If the Pacific rail-
road charge one half the present rates they
will double and quadruple the freight and
passenger business and make the road prof
liable the first year-this, independent Of
the business from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, that will only commence when the
road shall have been completed from ocean
to ocean, and the tide of the worlds com

The Human Voice In america.

from Prof McCoys 'sAppea for the fine Arts in the
Repubc.nl
1t is said that the nightingale will not
live in America; it dies in crossing the
ocean. And so there is an impression in
the minds of many, that the American eli
mate is fatal to the highest excellence in
musical vocalization. l agree with Mr.. Ba-
latka in not believing this. At least am
very clear In believing, that there is nothing
against us IN climate, which we cannot
more than make good by science; and that
the science of voice has been carried to a
higher pitch in America than in any other
part OF the world, can be proved by the
written treatises on the subject. Dr. Rush,
by his profound work on the g Philosophy
of Voice" has done that service for this
branch of science, which Lord Bacon did
for philosophy in general Mr.. Balatka
very justly points to Miss kellogg and Ad-
elina Patti to show the possibilities of the
American voice in singing; and what ora
tors of their day possessed grander vocal
organs for public speaking than Daniel
Webster and Henry Clay What TRACE.
dams have nobler voices, for the purposes
of the stage, than Mr.. Murdoch, and Mr..
Forrest-both of which are productions Of
the American climate; and both Of which,
lights of American vocal science. Grant
ing that the mild and balmy atmosphere of
Italy and Southern Europe generally, is
more favorable TO sweetness, purity, volume
and compass OF vocal tones; yet such is
my faith in the more thorough system Of
discipline, growing out of the more soien-
tifeal analysis of that great American phi
losopher, DR.. James Rush; confirmed as il
is by wide range Of observation and ex--
perience, in applying this science to the
practical work, not only of improving,
but almost literally Of making voice, for
the purposes of conversation, reading,
singing, acting and speaking that am
i'm pressed with the most confident belief,
not only that the prevailing badness of
American voices. is wholly unnecessary,
but that it is possible to produce in this
country, a race of orators, actors, singers
and readers, whose voices shall one day
ring out in the capitals of Europe, like the
silver and the golden bells of their old Ca
thedrals And as in the laborious and ex-
acting duties or my own humble calling,
am stimulated by the hope that the arts of ut
teranoe may yet be so highly cultivated in
this Republic, that the British noblemen,
after graduating from Oxford and Cam
bridge, shall feel that they must listen to
American orators, in order to hear our
common mother tongue in all its classical
purity and power SO in every other high
and beautiful Art, I desire, and against all
ridicule will nurse the desire, that Ameri--
cans should have no superiors nay, that
they should have no equals. Let us all la
Dor to hasten the day when it will be said
in the fine arts, as it was in the Yacht races
in the time of the WORKS Fair, in 1861 )
and when it was telegraphed from London,

And the answer came back, s'The America"

The East.


Charles G. Halpine, (the well known
Miles O'Rielly) was elected last week as
Register Of New York, by the handsome
majority of $4,000.
! Mr.. Richards, Of Providence, Rhode Is
land, has invented combination paper col
| lar and bosom, obtained patent, and
sold it for the comfortable sum of $780,
0OO
| A man named Jonathan Townsend was
robbed of $4,000 in street car at Pitts
burgh, Pennsylvania, on Monday of last
week, by having his pantaloons pocket cut
out.
An Englishman in Albany on Thursday,
the LIST, ate FIVE hundred and sixteen oys-
ters, measuring mere than six quarts of
solid meats, at one sitting. They cost
$11.54.
A man named Dudley was recently the
| victim Of q singular accident at Dixfeld,
Maine. He was pulling stumps in a field,
with the aid Of a patent machine, when a
hook gave way, and, flying, struck him in
the breast and passed clear through him,
killing him instantly.
The telegraph operators at Boston, the
other evening, opened direct communica-
ton with Port Hood, Cape Breton, and New
Orleans, Louisiana. Port Hood reported a
heavy snow storm, while New Orleans re-
ported the weather sultry. The wires were
never known to have worked better such q
distance.
William A. Francis, Treasurer of the
Montana Mining & Discovery Company,
committed suicide recently at his house in
West Nineteenth street, New York, by cut
ting his throat with q razor. In attempt
ing to prevent the deed his wife was severely
cut, and is in precarious condition. The
deceased had formerly been an inmate of
lunatic asylum.
The city Of Brooklyn has long been called
the getty Of Churches" but this does not
seem to indicate any very excessive amount
Of piety among her people. At a meeting
of clergymen last week in New York, one
CT the speakers stated that out of 1000
people composing the population of Brook
lyu, NOT more IMAM IOU,UUU were Drought
within hearing of the Gospel on Sunday
in the whole of the 179 churches of that
city.
The Baltimore imbroglio, now happily at
an end, took strange turn. Gov. Swami
heard the complaints against the Police
Commissioners, md removed them, but
they declined to be removed, and the new
Commissioners being arrested for using
threatening language, were brought before
them and bound over in the sum of SIS, 900
each, to keep the peace. Declining bail,
they were lodged in prison, and kept there
till after the election.

A GOmmubIaI Sermon.

connubial little sermon, from the text.
"Be happy as you are" is thus preached
by contemporary print: g Wife and mother,
are you tired, and out of patience with your
husbands and your childrens demands
upon your time and attention? Are you
tempted to speak out feelings to that faith
full, but, perhaps, sometimes needless or
exacting husband of yours? or scold and
fret at those sweet and beautiful ones? Do
you groan and say, What fool was to-,
marry and leave my fathers house, where
| lived in ease and in quiet?' Are you, by
reason of the care and WEAKNESS of the
body which wifehood and motherhood must
bring, forgetful, of and unmindful for their
comfort and their joys? o, wife and
mother !! what if stroke should emite your
husband and lay MIN low? What if yoar
children should be snatched from your arms
and your bosom? What if there was no
true, strong heart to lean upon What if
there were no soft little innocents to nestle
in your arms, and to love you, or receive
your love? How would it be with you
then? Be patient and kind, dear wife; be
unwearying and long suffering, dear
mother; for you know not how long you
may have with you your best and dearest
treasures-you know not how long you may
tarry with them. Let there be nothing for
you to remember which will wiring your
heart with remorse if they leave you alone
let there be nothing for them to remember
but sweetness and love unuttesable, if you
are called to leave them by the way. Be
patient, be pitiful, be tender of thema
for death will step sooner or later between
them and you. And OF what would you
do, II you should be doomed to sit solitary
and forsaken through years and years? Be
happy as you are. even with all your trials;
for believe it, thou wife of true and low
ing husband, there is 40 lot in life so blessed
as thine own. The present is all you can
enjoy; use it well"
