DUTY.-Keep the law of duty ever
before you-let it be your never-failing
pillar of light. Be brave, and on the
square with your conscience to the last.
Your success in life may not be equal
to your hopes or your deserts it is not
in man to insure success. The best
and wisest of us may fail in the strug-
gle; but we have our consolation even
then. To gain the worlds applause,
and snatch its feeting spoils, is not a
mans sole and proper business here.
Immortality smiles upon the scene,
and beckons him onward in the race
those eternal honors which the world
can neither give nor take away--the
prize that all may strive for, and no
one strive in vain.

BeAp A gentleman, writing from Min
neapolis, states that the effect of a So
journ in the Minnesota climate on those
coming with lung affections is varied,
as are the individual cases. While
some continue to waste away, the di-
sease not being at all arrested, notwith-
standing most favorable surroundings,
many others, even in more advanced
stages of the disease, are Immediately
and permanently benefited. Minneso-
ia, like jealous economists of her re-
sources, seems to make it condition
of entire cure, that the patient shall
remain on the soil, using his new found
health in the airs where it was acquired /;
at least, comparatively few of those
who regain health in Minnesota are
able to keep it long in remote regions.
The sum of all observation and expert
ence, here as elsewhere, tends to show
that to determine the climate best
adapted to the need of consnmptive
patient, is matter of experiment for
individual case. Still, all agree that in
some change lies the best chance of
help, since from the air breathed comes
medication in which there is hope of
cure for diseased lungs.

The PLAINFIELD BOND ROBBERY.

IHE LAlNf1ElD OOND hOBBERY. -
On the Odd of last June the house of
Mr.. John ID. Egbert, at Plainfeld, was
robbed of about $4,000 worth of mo-
ney, bonds and iewelry, while the fam
lily were absent at Sunday School eel
ebration. The robbery was so adroit
that for long period of time the iden-
tity of the cuIprit baffied the ingenuity
of the most skilful detectives. Mr.. Egg
bert is a gentleman of considerable
wealth, and had returned to Plainfeld,
after residence of several years in the
west, and had engaged in business in
New York. On the day of the robbery,
Mr.. Egbert left home at an early hour,
saying to his wife that he might posi-
bly, return from the city in time to ac-
company his family to the Sunday
School celebration.
AT noon Mrs Egbert concluded to
wait for him no longer, and locking up
the doors gave one of the keys to the
coachman, retaining the other. The
coachman, Emil Scheyli, was told that
he could go to the celebration if he de
sired, and it was supposed that he did
so. During the absence of the family
the house was robbed, and the fact dis.
covered Immediately upon their return.
The matter was placed in the hands
of the New Jersey Detective Associa-
ton, one of whom, Mr.. John Morris,
of this city, spent several days in the
vicinity in an effort to discover the cul-
prit. Mr.. Morris finally became con-
WINGED that the man Scheyli was the
guilty person, and arrested him forth
with, although no clue was discovered
to the missing property.
On Tuesday last, the case came up
for trial before Judge Green, and was
given to the jury on Wed nesday morn
ing. In the course of the trial it was
shown, on testimony of Mrs. Egbert
that Scheyli had helped her in making
some arrangements of furniture, &C.,
and he had at that time seen her open
tile boxes which contained the iewelry,
and that he had also seen her take the
safe.key from a bureau.drawer and
open the safe, which contained the mo-
ney and bonds. 1t was proved, too,
that knife which had been missed
from the house at the time of the rob-
berry, and which had evidently been
used by the burglar in opening the
boxes, in which operations he had bro
ken the blade, was found in the posses
sion of Scheyli at the time of his az
rest, he having previously denied all
knowledge of the knife. The marks of
knife with broken blade were upon
the opened boxes, and these marks cor.
responded exactly with the knife in his
possession. The prisoner also admit
ted his having entered the house to get
some tobacco, during the absence of
the family. The evidence against him
was wholly circumstantial, but the jury
yesterday, after two days deliberation,
rendered q verdict of guilty.

Mount Vesuvius.

A special telegram to the HERALD, which we
published yesterday, describes the elimination,
as 1t were, of the eruption OF Mount vesuvius
on the 2Sth inst. in an unusual and fatal cata
trophe. The side Of Mount vesuvius opposite
to tho gate of Castel- Nuovo fell, tumbllng
outward. The detached portion buried several
houses in the vicinity and overwhelmed car
riages passing on the highway. This extra
ordinary event was attended with con-
siderable loss Of life, although the number of
persons killed has not yet been ascertaincd.
We have supplied our readers with information
respecting this eruption, which has been
steadily increasing in intensity and splendor
On the 3lst Of December the detonatons,
which were distinctly audible at Naples, be-
came deafening TO the adventurous observers
who went up the mountain and the scene
presented by the eruption is described by cor
respondents OF London journals az extremely
magnificent. Curious travellers have, how
ever, continued to make the ascent with their
guides, so that we had been tempted to regard
their descriptions as more or less exaggerated
until we received our latest telegraphc
despatch. II is now obvious that the marvel
lous pcrturbations Of the globe which we have
duly chronicled since the last meieoric shower
are AZ striking at Mount vesuvius as else
where, from the Indian Ocean TO the West
India islands, and, according to our latest
letters from the city of Mexico, in the mud and
water foundations of the halls of the Monte
zumas." Nature has its mysterious and awful
as well as its smiling aspects in the nineteenth
century no less than in the old neurological
times. II is now well nigh eighteen centuries
since the Grst recorded eruption Of vesuvius
buried the cities Of Herculaneum, Pompeii
and Stable, with all their treasures. Not
fewer than sixty eruptions have since taken
place. In 1888 volcanic cone was thrown
up in the Bay Of Baie. In 1851 streams Of
lava and boiling water we're poured over the
adjacent villages. The eruption in 1879 was
one OF the most terrible up TO the present
time. The present eruption threatens to show
that Notwithstanding our boasted science, man
is still powerless against the occult destructive
forces Of nature.

The European Powers VS.. Russia and the
United States.
From telegram which we published in
yesterdays HERALD we learn that the army re-
construction bill has finally passed the French
would substantially become the law of France
from the moment it was introduced into the
Chamber of Deputies. It Is not, therefore,
any surprise that the bill has passed the
Senate. 1t k, however, q matter of some
interest thet in the course Of the debate an ad-
vanced liberal and an enlightened political
economist should have assigned as his reason
for opposing the bill his dread Of the power Of
Russia and the ambition Of the United States.
NJ Michel Chevalier opposed the bill, advised
the cultivation Of closer alliance among all
the nations of Europe, and spoke of Russia
and the United States Of America as Powers
whose growing strength and unconcealed am
bition were cause of alarm to all the nations
Of Europe. We cannot say that NJ. Chevalier
is wrong. He is learned and travelled, has lived
in the United States, Is . man of liberal ideas,
and has correct notions Of political economy,
as is evident from the fact that he took an
active part with the late Richard Golden in
carrying through. the free trade treaty with
England. NJ. Chevalier speaks, therefore, not
without knowledge, and his remark Is entitled
to consideration. We know that we have no
hostile intentions towards Europe so long as
Europe behaves ITSELF Russia Is q sensible
Power and very much of our opinion. Russia
and America are fair match for the world in
arms and we echo NJ Chevalier's sentiment
by advising the nations, one and all, to cult
vate the arts Of peace. If they will blunder
and misbehave, it may become the duty of the
two young giants to correct them.

No More Contraction.

The anti-contraction bill passed by both
houses of Congress has been before the Presi-
dent several days, and the fact that he has not
yet signed it has given rise to rumors that he
intends to veto it; but If he does so he will be
very i'll advised, and the result will be it's
passage over the veto by two-thirds vote I;
for both Congress and the people are equally
determined that Mr.. McCulloch shall no longer
have the power TO contract the currency. The
measure is one of imperative public necessity.
The interests Of the country demand that the
volume Of the currency shall neither be CON
tractcd nor inflated, and in order 70 secure
this object Congress should pass q bill
defining the Senate amendment to the bill
already passed TO include the compound
interest notes outstanding as we'll as
the three per cent certificates issued
in exchange for those which have recently
