SOWING NOT IN VAIN.-A mother
has, perhaps, the hardest lot of any.
Her life is one perpetual emptying
of herself, of her own convenience
in behalf of her own little child, that
for many years can return nothing,
and can never make any adequate re-
turn for her care of it. There is no
other instance of such spontaneous
and thorough emptying of ones
own nature for another that we
know of in this life. And yet no
mother worthy of the name over
gave herself thoroughly for her child
who did not feel that, after all, she
reaped what she had sown. No per-
son was ever called to suffer for a
principle, and suffered manfully that
he was not himself conscious that he
was victor. When your name is
cast out and trodden under feet of
men; when you are counted as the
offscouring of the earth, for faithful
ness to duty, do you not experience
peculiar joyP Can you not then
understand what the apostle meant
when he said, "My brethren, count
il all Joy when you fall into divers
temptations. "-Beecher.

The Nathan Murder-Arrest of the
Supposed Murderer-The Police
Investigating the Case.
HEVEb SNO
from the New York Herald, Aug. 81


Last Friday morning an officer OF
the Thirtieth Precinct arrested man
named Michael Ryan on suspicion of
burglary. In the prisoners posses
sion, on being searched, was found a
bit, brace, q screwdriver and file.
He was questioned with regard to the
manner in which he came by these
tools, and stated, in response, that
before coming to this CITY he work
ed in saw-mills at Morristown, N. j.,
and in several towns throughout
Pennsylvania. He were linen coat
when arrested, on the breast of which
were red spots, which, on closer ex-
animation, looked very much as if
they had been made by mans hands
covered with blood. There was evil
IDENTIFY an attempt made to obliterate
the marks by washing and then iron
ing, but with poor success. The
prisoner was taken before Justice
McQuade, ut the Harlem Police Court,
whore the foregoing facts were relat-
ed in due form, and with the greatest
secrecy, to his Honor. The magis-
trate thought the case looked some
what suspicious, and, at the instance
of the officer, Ryan was committed
on suspicion of burglary to await fur
Their developments. The officer who
made the arrest (name not known
went with his Captain to police head
quarters, and gave full account of
the case to the authorities there
When they had seen the coat and
thought where Ryan had worked,
their Joy knew no bounds, and they
confessed without reserve that this
clue was the best they had yet I'M
earthed regarding the Nathan muir
der. Ryan was Immediately seat for
and brought before Jourdan and his
detectives to undergo an examina-
ton, to which that young Kelly had
TO submit to az the hands of Fellows,
Rollins, Field Il Co. was not COM
parison. The result seemed TO be
satisfactory to certain extent, for
the officer who had made the arrest
and others were dispatched to the
different places in which Ryan had
worked to ferret out some clue, if
possible, about the mysterious "dog,"
as we'll as to discover all about Ryan
himself. To assist them in this rath-
er difficult task tho suspects" pho
tagraph was taken for their use.-
Ryan vas then returned TO the GUS
tody of the keeper of the Harlem
Police Court prison, where he now
is awaiting the result of the detec-
tives' Investigations. The foregoing
facts have been obtained from re-
liable source, and are, as far as infor-
mant is concerned, correct in every
particular. The prisoner is man
about fifty years ofage, very nearly,
if not quite, six feet in height, and
very erect. He is very active look
ing man, his physique showing
strength and endurance. He is an
Irishman by birth, having been born
in Tipperary, and is now nearly TWEEN
ty-five years in this country.

Of Austrans and Russians are busy
at work in the interests of peace,
and it is believed they would have
already secured an armistce had
not the English Government block
ed the way by it's hesitation and
half hostile attitude. The English
Government it is believed has a So
cret understanding with the King of
Prussia adverse TO the wisest of
Count Bismarck, in order TO secure
if possible a suppression of the repub-
lie. | have it on high authority that
Bismarck desires neither Alsace or
Lorraine and is anxious TO secure
peace as early as possible, but King
William is bitterly opposed to any
negotiations with the Republic, and
insists on advancing on Paris to
crush the revolution before the fever
can extend to Germany.
There is every indication now
that Paris will mako terrible resist
ance, though many still believe TO
the contrary. Gen. Trochu declares
if the Prussians take the city the
cost to them will be immense. Bar
ricades are now being prepared in
the streets. and if the forts are taken
and the ramparts carried by assault
the fighting in the streets will be
desperate.

AN ASTONISHING DISCOVERY.
A Human Skeleton Thirteen Feet In Height
Its Bxhumed Complete, and Purchased
for Ten Thousand DolIsrsi
MILTON, WIS. Aug. %. 1870.

Editor Sentinel Believing the
discovery made this morning on the
farm of Mr.. Stanley of interest to
your readers, | send you tho follow
ing facts, as | CHANGED to be spec
tator. To-day as the hired help of
Mr.. Stanley were digging for the pur-
pose of laying foundation of barn,
they struck a large bone that had
the appearance of O human skull,
but of such enormous size that they
thought it must belong to some ami
NAL. 1t was found in slight mound
on the cast side of a hill overlooking
Rock river, and in the town of James,
vile. DIR. Towndrow, q gentleman
of fortune, CHANGED to be passing,
as tho workmen were cleaning the
dirt from the skull, and At their re-
quest got over the fence and exam
ined it, pronounced it as belonging
to the human family. The men fell
to work and exhumed the entire
skeleton. 1t was found in fair
state Of preservation. The skull
measured 323 inches in circumference
and the thigh bones Az in length.
The doctor thought when living he
could not have been less than thir-
teen feet in height. The teeth were
all in the jaws and were of enormous
size. The doctor extracted one of
them which measured one inch and
a half in length. The most remark
able part of this strange discovery
is the fact that the lower limbs from
near the knee to the end of the toes,
are entirely petrified, the flesh hav-
ing changed to stone and the parts
being perfect in shape. As he was
buried in q sitting posture, the doe
tor thought that the action of the
lower strata of soil produced this
marvellous change. Doctor Town
drow promptly offered Mr.. Stanley
ten thousand dollars for the skele-
ton, which Mr.. S. promptly accepted.
The doctor will arrange the bones
in position, when he will exhibit it.
The news of the discovery flew with
the wind and the neighbors came in
and viewed these monster remains
The doctor boxed his prize and sends
it north this afternoon. | write in 9
hurry and have failed to give you O
very graphic account of these gian,
remains. DR.. Towndrow's home i.

NATIONAL IMPLICATION.

The immediate result of the war will
be the unifcation of Germany. Here
after there will be n German as we'll
as German speaking people. In
THIS positive strength will be
gained in the governmental forces OF
Europe. As the addition of an able,
industrious and law abiding man aug
ments the moral and material forces
Of the community in which he lives,
so the formation of new nation, if
it is founded on the principles of
Justice, is an addition to the moral
forces Of the world it encourages
the weak, makes the strong in good
works still stronger, and overawes
tyrants, and stays the progress of
usurpation. The present war is
teaching that there must be individ-
uality in nations as well as men that
there must be an agglomeration of
minor forces, all tending to one gen.
eral object before a nation can
achieve any marked success, either
in its home growth or in its influence
upon other nations. The tendency
Of the American Colonies was to uni
tication, which was persevered in I'M
til the United States was formed
The rebellion put the seal of disap-
proval upon any attempt at making
a number of small jangling confeder-
acies successful as one nation. The
war between France and Prussia will
settle the principle 40 far as Ger
many is concerned National unfit
cation is gaining ground, now by
war, now by the arts of peace, and
will attain results grander than any
that have been achieved Its work.
ings are drawing silently, but ire
sisistibly, the United States and
British colonies into a closer union
that will never stop short of West
ern Continental Republic. But in
this case, peace is doing the work,
by the common interest which binds
the people Of different sections in the
pursuits Of agriculture, commerce
and manufactures. There is in Uni
ted States and the Dominion Of Can
ada a strong undercurrent of popu-
lar opinion in favor of a closer union;
frequently it comes to the surface in
monster annexation meetings held
in the Lower Provinces of the Do
minion, in annexation petitions, and
in efforts to bring about friendly
discussion OF the relations of the three
countries interested to each other,
by commissioners appointed for that
purpose. These signs point unmis-
takably to the future political unfca-
cation of the people of North Amer
lea. And the prospect now is, that
it will all be accomplished in due
time without the calamities of war.

CENSUS ITEMs.-It is said the CEN
sus returns will show that the num-
Der of sgriculturists throughout the
country has largely increased, not
only beyond the number of 1860, but
beyond the liberal estimates made
for 1870. This has been particularly
observed in Wisconsin, Michigan,
Iowa and Missouri, of the Western
States, and in all the Southern States.
The increase reported in Tennessee
is extraordinary. Agriculture being
the most important element in the
development of the national prosper
ity this increase in the extent of its
resources and the number of persons
engaged in it, must afford profound
satisfaction to all who realize the
great significance Of the fact stated

LONDON, Sept. 1O.-Disapprobation

been sent from Berlin to Wilhelm 8
Hoche to minister to the comfort of

addition, sixteen officers and forty
servants Of his own people. This

wants Of the prisoner. The HeSse

The silence Of death should surround
the prisoner, as surrounds the graves

the war. In the vast apartments
once tenanted by his uncle Jerome,
and containing many relics, he may
ponder on his fallen greatness, and
the failure Of his insane hopes to
rule and enslave Germany.

EUROPEAN WAR.
ON to PARIS (!
CONNECTION IN FRANCE.
A FRENCH REPUBLIC
Paris to be Defended !

PARIS, Sept. "a deputation OF
nearly 500 persons went in body
to thank the American Minister for
prompt recognition of the Republic
by the United States. The Ameri-
can Minister thanked the populace
for their cordial applause, and said
America was most anxious for the
success of Republican institutions in
France and throughout Europe.
The Worlds London correspond
ent telegraphs that it is the impress
sion here in high official circles that
France will accept any terms short
OF the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of her terri
tory, in refusing it she is supported
by Russia 1t is believed the Repub-
lican Gov eminent will consent TO
pay large indemnity, dismantle fort
resses and largely to reduce the
standing army. More than this,
am assured in the highest quarters,
will not for moment BIO conceded.
If Prussia should insist on the ces-
sion of Alsace and Lorraine, or even
Metz and Strasbourg, the war will
assume new and most terrible char
acter.
The general feeling in London is
that Germany has a military right
to demand the expenses of the war,
with reasonable guarantees for her
future security, but that she has no
right to attempt to degrade and hu-
initiate France. Ii is quire certain
that if she attempts to do this she
will be met by one Of the most for
midable European coalitions ever
formed, and that no man can predict
the issue of the conflict.
