it higher than others. We have been grad
ually growing richer from year to year,
and money was to-day commanding a high
rate because of our banking system being
under the national instead of under state
protection. He thought it better to enact
stringent penal statutes to enforce the pres
ent law rather than to pander to the pres
ent public sentiment which demands an
increased rate of interest. We can not en-
act laws to meet every particular case
some securities require higher rate than
others he did not believe it possible to fix
any rate that would be binding upon the
money lenders. The government do not
pay $40 per cent, in coin, but in paper
currency,
Mr. Gleed of Morristown said the propo-
sition in this bill is to make all credit
when put in writing, eight per cent. he
did not believe it necessary to do that to
further the interests of the people The
marble interests do not suffer, but are pros
pering far in advance of the farming inter
ests. Increase the rate, as is proposed il
this bill, and every farmer will at once be
compelled to either pay, or be subject t
an increased rate of interest; and that, too
when rate now is as high as he can afforC
to pay. A man can make more none,
loaning money at six per cent. interest
than he can at farming, Let us not, there
fore, strike blow at the greatest interest
of the state. ...i.

sufferers returned to their narrow sittin
place on the rail, with but little hope left
to encourage them. One ray of hope came,
however, as barrel was discovered float
ing out of the vessel. Thinking that it
might contain provisions of some sort, two
of the men started for it, and, after two
hours steady work in the water secured it,
but found to their disappointment that it
was barrel of EPSON salts.
All through the week the captain and |
his four companions chung to the wreck
eight days acithont food or ,cater! There is
hardly another such a case on record. The
testimony of all is that the thought of food |
scarcely entered their minds, but their
burning thirst nearly drove them to dis
traction. 1t came to be, through this
dreadful parching, that neither one could
talk. Each tongue was swollen, and hung
without the mouth. As it touched the
roof of the mouth, it glued there, and
scaled off in large fakes. Such suffering
as was experienced cannot be described.
1t was fearful beyond telling. On Sunday
morning the first sail that had been in
| sight, since the disaster occurred, appeared
| some distance Of-tOO far off to be attract
| ed. The little hope that was excited sud
denly departed, as the whitened sails were
lost to view in the distance. But two hours
| later another vessel came in sight, about
| three miles off, and here was new hope to
the wretched men, but the vessel passed
on, unattracted by the low lines of the
wreck
These two last sad disappointments led
to the raising of signal of distress, and an
old blue coat was hOisted At about 4
o'clock in the afternoon another vessel APP
peared about fur miles off to the wind
ward and before dark the captain Of this
vessel Captain Oxley of the ship Flat
worth, en- route from China to London) dis
covered the wreck, and by dark had got
within one hundred yards of it. He got a
boat out, and sent it alongside. Captain
housewife and his companions were so
weak that they could not stand, and by an
other day, at the longest, must have per-
ished, and as the boat came up they slid
into it helplessly, and were taken to the
Flatworth, where every attention was paid
them by the kind hearted Englishman in
command. When taken off, two of the
sailors were entirely naked, As they had
been during the whole week The sun
had blistered them, As it had the captain
and the Others All were the merest skel
,, etons. Captain Housewife, VINO weighed
before the wreck one hundred and ninety
pounds, had lost nearly ninety pounds il
his eight days ofsutfering. \ teaspoonfu
of brandy was given each one to start with
but even this wE too much for their shat
tered systems, and very soon after reachin:
. the ship all were unconscious and remain
ed in that state for two days. On reach
ing London the survivors were removed t,
, the Sailors Home in Wall street, wher
they met with every attention.

More Testimony against Masonry

The following communication is from an
eminent and widely known clergyman of
Chicago, and is found in the Congregation
alist and Boston Recorder of July %, 1869
1t is simply historic, and suggests some
truths which it would be well for thinking
men to ponder now:
AN OLD WITNESS-BY REV. J. Z. ROY, D. D.
have before me a yellow leaved PAM
phlet of fifty four pages, dated Boston. 1884.
1t is entitled: "An Investigation into Free
Masonry by Joint Committee of the Leg
islature Of Massachusetts, printed by order
of the House." The names of the COM
mittee are John Bailey, VIM. Foster, Ste
phen Whitney, Heman Lincoln, Henry
| Williams. The committee was raised, as
the Report says, upon the memorials of
Benz. W. Lamb Newell Wilmington and
others, of Boston; of i. Porter, Leonard
! Woods, Hoses Stuart Thomas II. Skinner,
and others, Of Andover, praying for an in
/ yestigation into the extra judicial oaths of
the Masons, and Tor a law prohibiting the
same. The names of the Professors at An
dover remind one of paper signed three
years ago by the Professors in the Lane
/ Seminary, requesting the Boston Tract So
ciety to publish certain temperate tract
upon the same general subject. The COM
mittee state that the people of the Com
monwealth had exercised their right of pc
tition in one hundred and t1ceaty memorials,
signed By eightth0usaad citizens, complain
ing of the Institution of Free Masonry as
a grievance" This shows how high was
rising the tide, which at last carried off for
ty five hundred of the five thousand lodges
in the country. The committee declare the
high character of the Memorialists, and de-
fend them against the aspersion that there
by they sought political promotion. Set
ting about their work in addition to the le-
gal notice served on the Grand Lodges of
the State, they invited four officers of the
same to attend. No attention was paid to
the invitation. Notices of the meeting Of
the Committee, sent to the daily papers
were not printed, except in one CASE
Then, as now, the secular press was under
! the control of the Fraternity. The House
voted for authority to send for persons anC
papers; the Senate dissented; and so the
committee proceeded without the testimo
f ny of adhering Masons, except as it wa
a procured from other sources. Many sece
ding Masons testified. Benz. F. Hallet
Esq, who had acted as counsel for Memo
rialists upon the same subject before tn
Z Legislature of Rhode Island, acted in tn
4, like capacity in this case, and made an aft
re davit, published herewith, In regard to sur
n dry portions of the testimony before tn
Il committee of the r. i. Legislature. III
ne appendix furnishes forms of oaths, stanC
Ill ing interrogatories, testimony of witnesse

!. ny as then, and now, existing and pra

PEACEFUL END OF TROUBLED LIFE.
The OhiOSt Journal records the death
in that State of man who nearly forty
years ago was connected with q tragedy
which caused a great sensation in Massa-
chusetts, and excited deep interest through
out the country. About the year 1888 the
body of a young girl, named Sarah A. Cor
nell of Fall River, was found beside hay
stack, in field remote from the highway,
where it was apparent she had been muir
dered under atrocious circumstances. Eph-
rain X. Avery, popular Methodist min
lister, ofwhose church the girl was a men,
Der, was arrested on suspicion of being the
perpetrator of the terrible crime, and tried
| therefor, both by ecclesiastical and civil
| courts. The ecclesiastical courts acquitted
him, with full conviction of his innocence
and the civil court failed to make case
! against him and discharged him. Butthat
| did not settle the question of his innocence
in the minds of the people, and although
he continued to preach, continuing in tn,
ministry in this State for several years, b,
did not outlive the suspicion created agains
him, and he finally retired from the min
istry and removed to Ohio to seek the quie
and freedom from annoyance which h
could not expect in Massachusetts. For tn
last twenty or thirty years, Mr.. Avery ha
led the life of an industrious and quiet fan
mer at Pittsfeld, Ohio, where he died o.
the % ult., going to the grave with the re
spect and regret of his neighbors and &C
: quaintances. His age at death was sevent
years.

of Rome into sympathy with all who ac-
cept and follow Christ, and inspire Syl-
labus and decree, like that of the Ser
mon on the Mount, or the Epistle to the
Galatians; then the hymn which the an
gels sang over the cradle of Bethlehem /;
might be fulfilled. The Prince of Peace
would come and the future would receive
that promise Of the angels, and that gift of
Christ; the double hosannah of his cradle
and his tomb.
We know not what will become of the
monk of Notre Dame. 1t matters but lit
tie, if only the fire he kindles shall spread
by Gods grace, over Europe and over the
world, through the Catholic and through
| the Protestant churches alike. Then the
nations will taste the fruit of the univer-
sal redemption of the Son of God. Then,
to use the words of Hyacinthe, the law
and gospel shall reign over this whole plan
ct, and we shall see descending from heav-

a word, greater than our own. And this

THE ELECTIONs-Se even states held
their elections last Tuesday There does
not appear to have been much interest felt
in any of them, as the excitement was not
sufficient to bring out much more than half
the voters in some Of them. New York is
democratic by pretty round majority, as
was to have been expected-probably by
about 30 900, and it is reported that they
will have a small majority in the legisla-
ture. If this is so it is gain to them, Is
the republicans had the legislature last
year. No governor was chosen this year.
The republicans gain heavily in the city
and lose as heavily in the country. Hor-
ace Greeley was our candidate for control
Ter, against Allen, the democratic candi-
date, and ran far ahead the rest of his tick
ct in the city, which is a well deserved
compliment to the white coated philoso-
pher of the Tribune. Greeley says that al
least 10000 fraudulent votes were cast in
the city.
In Massachusetts the republicans rc-elect
Gov. Clann by about $4,000 plurality
The liquor question entered largely into
the canvass, and it is thought that the le
gislature is about equally divided between
the prohibitionists and the ants. Boil
parties claim the victory The vote in tn,
state. as compared with last year, is yer,
light.
The democrats carry New jersey by
small majority.
West Virginia elects republican legis
lature. No governor elected this year.
In Illinois the election was for member
of the Constitutional Convention. We sc
nothing said about republicans or demo
Gratis, hence we infer that there was reall
not much, if any, contest between them.
Wisconsin ro-elects Gov. Fairchild b
about 10000 majority, and the legislator
is not much different from last year; it
republican.
Minnesota elects a republican govcrnc
--Austin-by 5000 majority.
Kansas we have heard 50 little from TIL
we can give no particulars. But we wi
wager bean that she is right.

The committee deduce the following con

The committee deduce the following con-
illusions
l. That Free MasoaTy IS a moral evil, as
taking members from their families as
tempting to dissipation; as familiarizing
the mind, theoretically at least, with the
contemplation of scenes of violence and
of blood; as profaning what the communi-
ty generally religiously respect, by rites
and ceremonies Extensively sacrilegious;
and as undermining those sentiments of
piety, which are the basis and safeguard of
morality
2. That Free Masonry is a pecmiayy cell,
as collecting, under the false pretense of
charity, large sums of money to be used in
entertainments, parades and trinkets, which
ga well informed savage would blush to
wear"
3. That Free Masonry is Political eril,
inasmuch as it is government claiming
existence Independent of civil governments,
and administering oaths, which, from their
number and frequency, tend to impair the
| binding force of civil oaths, threatening
penalties, severe even to barbarity, and cal
culated to have an appalling and control
ing effect or weak and uniformed minds,
and in their tenor conflicting with the civ
il obligations Of the citizen, calling upon
him either to violate the latter in obedi-
ence to his Masonic oaths, or to violate
Masonic oaths in obedience to his civil OBJ
legations. The ramifcation of this "gov-
eminent" throughout our country and 9TH
er countries-and all within the govern.
ment of the people for the general good
is drawn out and its power for interfering
and overthrowing legitimate civil authori
ty portrayed as great political evil.
