Dougherty Again.-The famous PRO
fessor," n. G. Dougherty, had pretty
thorough ventilating in the Philadelphia
Press of Wednesday last, and letter which
we wrote to the Editor of the Press more
for the purpose of privately informing him
that he had been imposed on by Mr..
Dougherty, than for publication, appeared
in that expose of the gay deceiver, para
graph of which unfortunately has been
construed by some of our North East
friends as rejecting unjustly on some of
the young ladies of that village.
The following letter, which we publish,
at their request, contains the Objectionable
paragraph. "Practicing the arts of the
seducer," does not necessarily imply crimi
nality on the part of his proposed victim,
bear this construction. The arts of Sc
Queer consist i'll his pleasing address and
efforts to ingratiate himself into the good
graces, and win the confidence and esteem
of, his intended victims. This is the sum
and substance embraced in the obnoxious
paragraph. "The name of the author of
the piece is asked, which seems 1Inneces-
sary, inasmuch as the name is published
along with the letter. 1t was founded on
the almost universal statment of all hailing

Mr. Z. f. EwING-Dear Strive are
constrained to call your attention to com.
munication in the Philadelphia Pres. of
the 18th. with your signature, i'll reference
to Prof. n. c. Dougherty. who taught a
Seminary i'll North East. We do not pre-
sumo to justify Doueherty in the betrayal
of the trust committed to him. but feel ag-
grieved at the publication of the following
item:
:: This discovery led to others, which re-
suited in bringing to light the fact that he
had been practising the arts of the seducer
on about a dozen of the girls-all his pupils
ranging from ID to 16 years of age
This charge we consider quite reflec-
ton on the young ladies, and we would re-
specially ask the name of the author of
the piece, and the publication in your col
umns of this our denial of its TRUTH as we
believe it is utterly false.

Rev. A. T. Scott, of the Wilmington

An amusing incident occurred, 4 few
evenings ago, on the train bound south,
leaving Philadelphia at PM.
Near the door sat party consisting of
two young ladies and their ''fellar," they
had but one,) who kept up continual
chatter, like flock of mag-pies.
A party of young men, seated near them,
who had been vainly trying to sleep through
their clatter, tried to form some plan to
scatter them.
One of the young men hastily packed up
newspaper into long twist, almost as
hard as wood, which he proposed throwing
at them.

THE IRISH CHURCH DIs-ESrAB-
EISIIED.

Gladstone's Ministry has achieved
great victory. In the House OF Com-
mons, on Monday night. the bill for the
dis-estabIishment of the Irish Church
was called to n third reading the crisis
of the Reform movement. Petitions
were presented against the bill, and the
motion to reject argued by James Madin
Holt and Lord Elks, two of the most
powerful Church advocates, but the mos
ton to reject was refused and the biH
passed 360 TO 247. amid uproarious
cheering by the Ministerial party. Thus
breaks down the compulsory Establish~
ed Church system of Ireland, an ever
torturing presence to the Catholics OF
ireland, and the seed of much of the
Irish discomfort. Believing in the Pro-
testant faith, we believe, too, in perfect
liberty OF conscience, and regard this as
the initial movement to great reform
the segregation of Church and State, and
an era of religious freedom. While the
imposition of supporting faith to which
they are hostile has, perhaps, owing to
attendant circumstances, been felt more
severely by the Roman Catholics of lres
land than by Protestant believers COM
pelled to- the same oppression by the
Papal Church in other countries, the
injustice remains the same, and Profess
tantism having thus taken the lead in
Rome should be equally as
generous, or rather just, in those coun-
tries y here she has been as arbitrary in
church revenues as ever
England was in Ireland.

Tinted Paper; Extra Cloth; 1926.
We find the above in a list of New
Books published by J. b. Lippincott &
Co., 715 and III Market street, Phila-
delphia, May 20, 1869. A letter from
the author some time since informed US
that it included the entire series of let
ters from Montana, published in the
New York Tribune in 1867, revised
and elegantly illustrated. Extracts
from some of these letters written from
Montana were published in the Posi- at
the time, and all who read them will
bear witness that they have never been
equalled or approximated to by any
other writer in compreheDsiveness, just
recognition and faithful description of
the resources and advantages of Mon
tana, and in graphic delineation of its
superb scenery, customs, peculiariries
and historic incidents of this New North
West The Colorado letters were writ>
ten during the Indian outbreak of '66,
and we believe Col. Mcclure was the
only writer permitted to present through
the Tribune the Western idea of the ln>
dian situation and the remedy for the
evils of the savage war-an idea which
he fully espoused and ably presented.
Some three or four of the Utah letters
never reached the Tribune Office, but il
is presumed they are supplied in the
Book. We shall look eagerly for its ap-
pearance in the land it delineates, and
believe il will be, as it should be, in

THE INDEPENDENT DoDGEs.

The Independent, in speaking of the
call for mass convention. abandons its
former assertion that it was wholly a
Republican movement, as follows:
We recognize the names of eight Dem
ocrats, twelve no-party men, torty-fOur
straight out Republicans, and one nom
resident, s. s. Huntley, of whose politics
we know nothing.
In the same issue il publishes the call
with one hundred and .tJty-st5 names
signed thereto, leaving nlnety-nine, or
nearly two~thirds of the entire number,
which it is fair to presume are Demo-
Gratis. The Independent seeks to deceive
its readers in '' recognizing the names of
eight Democrats" How many more
than eight do you recognize? Major
Bruce " recognizes nearly all of them as

ELECTRICITY AMONG THE ORES

Among the recent researches by sci-
entists in the working of gold and silver
ores, none have been followed with
more perseverance than that looking TO
the application of electricity to this pur-
pose. The Mining and Scientific Press.
of May 22d, says the experiments began
by Prof. Bequerel, and followed by
Messrs. Nolf and Phoebe, have culminas
ted in an invention by DR.. A. F. w.
Partz, of San Francisco, on which he
has obtained patent. that it is thought
will play an important part in the fus
ture reduction of ores containing base
metals. A full description of the inven-
ton is given in the Press, which will
prove of interest TO metallurgists and
miners.

THE GOLD ADVANCE.

". have waited with some interest
an exclamation by the Eastern press of
the recent advance in gold from 131 to
i4+-and which by the way has declined
10 below 40 The Chicago Tribune ats
tributes il principally to the policy in
sugurated by Secretary Boutwell, of
buving exclusively bonds with the sur
MUS in the Treasury and leaving the
yreenbacks to take care of themselves,
producing a phenomenon that has not
before occurred in our financial history
bonds approaching and greenbacks fall
ing. The Tribune thereupon pronounces
bonds abroad has improved under
Grants administ ration, notwithstanding
an advance in the rates of interest by
the Bank of England. At Frankfort,
Germany, on April 5th, bonds were
quoted at S15, while greenbacks in New
York were IS. On May 20th, bonds in
Frankfort were quoted at about the
same, S6s. while greenbacks in New
York had declined 70 692. The securi~
ties of the country were unchanged
while it's circulating medium. greens
backs. greatly deprecated, causing an
apparent rise in gold which rise was
only relatively TO greenbacks, and not
20 bonds. which have heretofore tuctu-
aied with gold. In 1888 the balance of
trade with Europe which was against
Us was liQuidRted about half by bonds
and half by gold. This year, from JAM
uary To May, there has been sent abroad
$65 100000 in bonds and only $10,000,-
600 in gold. Gold accumulated in the
Treasury, and bonds were sought to pay
import duties. If the surplus in the
Treasury had then been ex pended in re
deeming equal amounts of bonds and
greenbacks. both they and bonds would
have advanced. and gold have relatively
appreciated toward both. But instead
bonds were exclusively purchased and
seeming TO have no re-
leemer on hand, dropped off from
the seventies into the sixties. This
brought about the anomalous condition
Of affairs, which puzzled the country
and set everybody wondering whether
the Triple Alliance or Spain single hands
ed was 10 demolish us. The order of
Mr.. Boutwell, throwing two millions gold
per week upon the market for green
backs, gives a different turn to affairs,
and gold will probably, within a few
weeks, hunt a corner below 40.
