The Richardson and Mcfarland Case.

Speaking of this affair, with the fact of
which our readers we presume are already
familiar, the New York Herald says
The causes, We apprehend may be traced
10 those pernicious teachings of certain
late years have been operating in our midst
to the generalization of the established
order OF society. Materialism in various
manifestations, Fourierism and lis congeners,
spiritual aff1nities, free love and women's
rights, embrace the doctrines taught in these
pernlcious schools of reform How far the
peculiar relations established between MIR
Richardson and Mrs. Mcfarland NAV be
rightly charged to any of these ,demoralizinr
teachings we cannot tell; but from the asso.
Citations surrounding them, their moral at
mosphere and thedivorce laws of Indiana, we
cannot resist the impression that the delusiye
fascination OF spiritual affinity and free love,
were the false lights which led these parties
astray. .H. .. -
We would not PREJUDICE this case. We
have avoided it so far on this account bnt

ana, and the conduct of Richardson in all this
melancholy business proclaimed by an organ
OF the Purtans as worthy of admiration, we
feel at liberty to discuss the vital principles
OF social order involved. The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, a shining light of modern re-
form, and President of the National Woman
Suffrage Association, has in this matter given
US an extraordinary piece of evidence Of his
endorsement Of these Indiana divorces. 1t
was this Indiana divorce, no doubt which
directly led Mcfarland to the murder
which followed Thus Qeaving Mcfarland

fact disclosed that this dreadful tragedy, from
first to last, on both sides, betrays that con.

of our social fabric. The moral is to be found
in that commandment which says, "Thou

GB- In Davenport, Iowa, woman who
was sent to jail last Friday for vagrancy, was
escorted into the jail yard and introduced to
a pile of rock which was to be converted in
to broken stone, and shown the use of q
stone hammer. She looked at the turnkey,
and said smilingly, and with an awful oath :
This what you call woman's rights amt it ?
Well, I'll show you that can break more
stone than any man in Jail p She went at
her task with vim, and astonished the other

When the Sea Gives up Her Dead.

by JEAN INGEL0w
When sparrows build and the leaves break forth
My old sorrow wakes and cries.
For know there is dawn in the far far north,
And scarlet sun doth rise;
Like u scarlet fleece the snow.feld spreads
And the icy founts run free,
And the bergs begin to bow their heads
And plunge and sail in the sea-
Oh my lost love, and my own, my love,
And my love that loved me so
Is there never q chnk in the world above
Where they listen for words from below?
Nay, spoke once and grieved thee sore
remember all that l said;
And now thou wilt hear me no.more no more
Till the sea gives up her dead
Thou ddst set thy foot on the ship ard sail
To the ice-fields and snow - 70
Thou vert sad for thy love did nought avail,
And the end could not know.
How could tell should love thee to day,
Whom that day held not dear?
How could know should love thee away,
When did not love thee anear!
We shall walk no more through the sodden plain
With the faded bents oerspread;
We shall stand no more by the seething main,
While the dark wrack drives o'erhead;
We shall part no more in the wind and rain,
Where thy last farewell was said;
But perhaps shall meet thee and know thee again

The New West; or, California in 1Se7-I55S.
By Charles Loring Brace. New York: q. p.
Putnam Il Son. The author of "Home Life IN
Germany has here produced a work Of cor
responding interest. HIS plan, as set forth by
himself. is to sketch such features of q california
and her process of development as most travel
ers have thus far neglected. In this view he
has devoted least attention 70 the mining en-
terprises OF that State. and most IN what IL to
be- the basis OF her future prosperity-her agri-
culture, fruit-eulture, and wiLe- growing and
such undeveioped branches as silkworm-
growing and wine-making. His impressions
are given with entire fraDkness, and he praises
and condemns with the impartiality Of 8 true

There Is some force in the SINS suggestion
inat the venue Of the Alabama case should be
changed from London 70 Washington; not for
the reasons set forward by the Sun. how

tement OF the case would be greatly increased.
I he fact that treaty, negotiated with United
States Minister who was unanimously con-
frmed by the United States Senate for tha,
position, was almost unanimously rejected by
that body, will make Great Britain very shy
OF dealing with any body but principals. The
English Government naturally objects to ne
gOtIs;ing treaties by which they are bound, but
which are liable 10 contemptuous rejection on
TINS side OF the water. Should that Govern.
ment send special envoy to W ashington ne

Yet treaty negotiated on the ground here
would stand many more chances OF being rati-
Ted by the Senate than one made in a foreign
atmosphere, and where the negotiators could

TIE CHKsAPKAKE AND OHIO CANAL
During the month OF May the amount of ton.
