A clergyman, it is stated, has been engaged
in swinding Hartford Insurance Company
to the tune of $4,000; and he is not to be
prosecuted and sent to the penitentiary as he
certainly would be if he were not minister
"of the Gospel" We don't know what right
insurance companies have to compound felonies'
but, if this be a mutual corporation, all the in
sured are cheated, some of them perhaps being
i'll able to bear the loss. 1t is bad enough for
such a company to allow itself to be feeced'
but to hush up the matter, after gross
swindle, isn't course likely to recommend
the corporation pursuing it to the confidence
| Of the public.

The Annual Exhibitions of the Boston schools
have been going on for the last few days, and
we are pleased to notice that while mind has
been attended TO- muscle also has not been neg
lected. At most of the schools there was
display of what are called eight physical ex-
"ercises," and in all of them there was good
deal of singing. Under the old system, tho
master or mistress had monopoly of the
Light physical exercises" which consisted
mainly of corporal chastisement-a rather bar
barous way, it has been discovered, of pro-
noting the circulation of juvenile blood. The
animal spirits of the youngsters are now sub
dued 10y a less painful process; and the absurd
theory which places the brains in the lower
part of the person will soon be everywhere
abandoned.

The passion of every man to know every
thing about every other man must be some
what allayed, if not entirely gratifed, by
magazine in this city, which gives in its last
issue sketches" of the Siamese Twins, Charles
Reade, Tom Thumb and Mrs. Thumb, X. w.
Emerson, Wendell Phillips, Lola Montez, and
Mr.. Edward Ketchum of Sing Sing; so that
the current number is quite a little biOgraphi-
cal dictionary in itself. Distinction good or
bad, in these days is extremely easy of acqui-
stion. There was time, long while ago.
when fame and notoriety were not yet con-
sdered synonymous; but good and bad repute
are now "much of muchness;" and it does Mt
seem to make any difference in our salvos
whether a person is extremely virtuOus or
vicious, so lie be extremely something.

Poor Rossinil Thirteen composers have con-
spired to write ga Grand Requiem" in honor
of him. 1t is settled beforehand that the
thing is to be only ninety minutes long, and
no contributor, no matter how tremendous
may be his grief, or how plenary his inspira-
ton, is to be permitted to expand his agitation
longer than seven minutes, less the thirteenth
part of one second. The movement of a
requiem, we suppose, should be generally largo,
but, in this case, as every contributor will need
to crowd as many notes as possible into the
little space of time allowed him, we shall
probably have rather jolly requiem, each
number being marked PreStiSSimo, ma

The finances of Brazil are in bad way.
Her revenue for next year will be about twenty
eight millions of dollars, and her expenses
thity-two millions: but this statement can give
us but partial idea of the recent and imme-
date financial conditions of Brazil. Back of it
is the fact of great debt, and side by side
with it the fact of great war. New meaning
is Thus given to the accidental utterance OF the
Brazilian Minister of Finance not long ago. to
wit: That ten months more of Paraguayan
warfare would ruin his exchequer.

Our Seventh Regiment is enjoying n holiday
at Saratoga. No military organization can be
more highly esteemed by the people of this
city. For many years they were our special
pets; and though rivalry worked hard and
wOrthily, they were never dislOdged from the
chief place in the peoples respect. When
the Macready- Forrest riot occurred in 1S49, the
Seventh Regiment boldly checked the disturb
ance, and killed rioting for twenty years.
When Fernando Wood defed the State law
that established the Metropolitan Police and
sat like cold statue in his Office while heads
were broken in the fight at the doors of
the City Hall, the Seventh Regiment, then
on the way East for an excursion,
wheeled into the Park and ordered
arms on the broad stone steps. The noise of
their muskets changed Mr.. Woods opinion, and
in five minutes he submitted to the civil pro-
cess he had all day defed. The Seventh has
a royal place in the hearts of the people, and
we heartily wish them jolly good time.

Important statements are made in our letters
from Cuba. 1t appears that Gems Pueblo and
Lesca admit their troops, now being dcci-
mated by fever, cannot maintain themselves
against the climate, one of them going so far
as to say that even with reinforcement of
5000 men little could be DONE The organ of
the Spanish volunteers is urging that they
be sent to the field, and that untenable posi-
tions be evacuated What is meant by untena-
bio positions is illustrated by Gen. Pueblo, who
believes it best to eyacuate all the ports the
Spanish forces hold, leaving the navy to take

In all literary history, we think, there is
hardly mention made of writer who has
grown kindly and mellow as Mr.. Charles
Dickens has with his advancing years. He
concludes his letter on Mr.. Fechter. the actor,
as follows: >" cannot wish my friend a better
audience than he will have with the Ameri-
"can people, and / cannot wish them better
actor than they will have with my friend.n
Indeed, Mr.. Dickens seems to have established
between himself and the American people ~
an abiding amity which has in it something
international. In the ardor and carelessness of
his youth lie said hard things Of us, some of
which we deserved, and these we naturally
resented; but moro amiable reconciliation
or moro thorough one than he aud wa
have effected, isn't upon record.

humbuSs marvelOusly like unto this-and so
we are thrown back at last upon our mortal
selves It is our own poor institutions which,
being of the earth, are yet so unearthly. Of
the transcendentalism of good and evil we can
never rid the coarse, everyday life Of this
vulgar planet, and we, who sell bacon, mo-

The iuvariabIe failure which has hitherto
attended nautical expeditions to the Artic
regions has induced two Frenchmen,
Messieurs TisseDdier and de Fouvielle, to
undertake the enterprise Of reaching the

which the bold adyenturers are about to en-
bark on their Perious journey, and which is
appropriately naned "Le Pole Nord, is
now being completed in the Champde Mars,
which the Government have placed at their
disposal for the purpose. The monster bal
loon, beside which even the famous Geant

Our New Minister to England.

The name of Hon. ]. Lothrop Mot
ley was yesterday sent into the eXecU-
tiv session of the Senate for the post
of Minister to England. After Mr..
Stanton, whose illness renders it i'm
possible to assume arduous official
duty, no name could have been Sc
lected for this position which would
give more universal satisfaction. Mr..
Motley became famous in literature
before he entered the political world
as the illustrious historian of the
Dutch Republic and the United
Netherlands. Afterward he was sent
to Austria by President Lincoln, as
our Minister Plenipotentiary, and his
conduct of affairs there was admira-
Bile. The history of his resignation
at the request of President johnson
and Secretary Seward, on the repre-
sensations of an anonymous spy
named McCracken, is still fresh in
the memories of the people ; and they
will rejoice in seeing Mr.. Motley
signally vindicated by his appoint
ment to the first diplomatic position
abroad. He is in every way-in
scholarship, in training, in cast of
mind, in experience, and in American
and radical principles-fitted for his
post; and his appointment will be
received with double satisfaction be-
cause it relieves the present mis-
representative of Republican ideas,
Reverdy johnson, whose official
career in England has been a series of
most notifying blunders.

Indians in Massachusetts.

There are 1,6l0 Indins in Masschu-
sets. Twelve hundred of this num-
Der are classified into tribes; the re-
mainder are scattered. For the past
ten years the numbers have not mate
rally increased or diminished. Prob
ably there is not n clear-blood Indian
in the commonwealth. They have
chiefly intermarried with those of
African descent. The most of these
Indians are wholly or partially the
wards of the eommOnwealth-none
of whom have a direct right of fran
chise. In accordance with the Gov
ernOr's recommendation in his message
to the present Legislature, to make
these remnants of tribes citizens of
of the State, the committee appointed
to take this subject into consideration
and report a bill to the legislature are
now carefully considering the matter
of franchise and other matters legiti-
mately growing out of it.

adopted by Phoenix Lodge, No. S29

WHEREAS, It has pleased an all
wise God to remove from our midst
by death, n who had become en-
deared to US by his many noble vir-
tues and devotion to u order. and

loss at the death Of one so dearly
loved; therefore
ResOLved, That while we bow in
humble submission to the will Of him
who doeth all things well, and recog-
nlze in the death Of our noble Officer
and Brother G. G.. Mackey, w. c., the
inscrutable providence of an all wise
God, yet we can not but feel that u
Lodge has lost one of its most honor
ed and efficient officers the cause of
temperance q jealous and successful
laborer, and society at large one of its
sEining lights.
ResOLUed, That we extend to the
friends of the lost one our warmest
sympathies in their deep af1iction.
ResOIUed, That in token of the loss
sustained US, we will wear appropriate
badges Of mourning.

Robbery.

We find the following in the Maho-
ming Register of last week: Mr.. Shei-
BILE, of Brier Hill, was robbed on Sum
day of about fifty dollars, in the fol-
lowing manner: He was returning
from town about eleven o'clock at
night by way of the Mill Creek road,
and when crossing the bridge over
the creek he met three men who were
unknown to him. They accosted
him, one of them asking for a cigar.
Mr.. Sheible replied that he had none,
upon which he was again asked for
some chewing tobacco. He replied
again that he had none, and was
struck on the neck with a blow that
knocked him ~sensless. He lay there
the bridge until about three o'clock
in the morning, when he recovered
his senses and found that all the mon
on his person, amounting to fifty
dollars, had been taken from him.
No clew is yet found to the robbers.

HOMESTEAD RIIL.

The Senate, by a vote of 20 yeas to 8
nays, cOncurred in the House amend
ments to the Senate bill, amending
the homestead exemption act. By
these amendments the exemption of
personal property, where the debtor
has no homestead, is $500, in addition
to those articles of personal property
now by law exempted. The bill is
now a law.
APPOINTMENT.
Mr.. n. B. SHERwIN, member Of the
House, from Cuyahoga county, is re-
ceiving the congratulations of his
friends here on the news of his appoint
ment by the President to the office of
Assessor of Internal Revenue in the
Cleveland Congressional District. Mr..
SHERwIN is one of the ablest members
of this legislature, and his ability,
candOr and integrity have united to
make him amost popular and respect
ed gentleman. That he will make an
efficient and honest official, defying
the power and corrupting influences of
rings, time will no doubt most en-
phatically demonstrate.
THE WEATHER
The past week, until Saturday morn
ing, was mild and spring like. But a
snow-storm of several hours duration
changed the face of nature to a quite
wintry aspect.
ADJOURNED.
On Saturday morning the House
adjourned over till Monday. R.
