to the manipulation of laymen, who ac-
cordingly are invested with power and held
in honor as long as the primary virtue does
not consist in piety towards the Gods, but
In love Of ones earthly country, to which
politics always demands that every other
duty be subservient, and even the true
God surrender his absolute authority.
Love Of country, while morals are pure
and simple, and people consider themselves
rich in having wherewithal to meet their
daily recurring wants, ELECTS acts of civic
virtue the most heroic; but this happy
condition of things is never of long dura-
ton. Industry and commerce will create
a redundance of wealth, and wealth will
beget luxury and ambition from luxury
to corruption the transition is almost i'm
mediate, and out of nations ambition
spring those intestine troubles and foreign
complications which, in the shape of war,
whether civil or international, or of con-
quests, whether undertaken to crafty the
nations vanity or to avenge an imaginary
wrong, are the certain preliminaries of its
ruin. Here the national religion is utterly
helpless; in the first place it is the creature
of the State, and is subject to all the varia-
tons and vicissitudes of the States poll
tics; and in the next place, it can have no
over the men, who, while they
may quote some of its maxims to show
that somewhere off in heaven there is a
for their argument, are solely
intent on the good things of this life, and
perfectly satisfied to leave the next life to
take care of itself. So we see that the
active nations, the philosophy of whose
history we have been attempting hitherto
to sketch, while pursuing different course
from those who were exclusively contem-
plative, still reached the same moral and
civil decadence and the same final and in
evitable result: civil dissention and revO-
luton, foreign invasion and conquest. On
these matters history will shed some light.

TICKLE FORTUNE.
A Notorious Woman In Chicago Falls Heir tn
fortune of S3OG,OO

A Notorious Woman In Chicago Falls Heir to
fortune of S3O0,O00.
The Chicago Republican of Saturday relates
this strange story
The rumor around town that the notorious
''Mollie Scotch" had fallen heiress to a con-
siderable fortune in Glasgow, Scotland. would
appear not to be utterly destitute of foundation.
Mollie has not yet sailed for "Auld Scotia" but
has been legally notified that an uncle of hers
on the maternal side-an old bachelor-recently
shuffed off the mortal coil on the banks of the
Clyde, and had left will to the following effect:
If no heir or heiress of his family turned up
he bequeathed his fortune, e300, 900, to charita-
BILE purposes. If, on the other hand, his long
missing niece Mollie, was found, she was to be
recognized as lawful inAeritor OF his fortune,
and was empowered to act accordingly After
weary searching, advertising, etc., the missing
niece was found at length-fallen from grace in
deed, but not legally prevented from accepting
the goods that fortune provided her.
The woman whose unexampled good luck has
made her for the time notorious among her
tribe first came to Chicago in 1862, and since
that time has been very well known to the fast
portion of the community. She came more than
once prominently before the public in sensa-
tional matters The case wherein she had one
Swift, a notorious gambler, arrested for stealing
her money and jewelry, is still fresh before the
legal profession. Mollie distinguished herself
in many other ways, but never won the applause
of any except the most depraved.
A moderate sized romance might be written
of this fortunate, and yet, oh, how deeply unfor-
tunate, woman's career. She had when very
young fled her native shore. She came to this
country while yet girl in years, and since then
has led an abandoned life. The woman is now
but merging fast into the sere and yellow of
premature decline Her race is almost run, and
too late to bring contentment to her polluted
heart the gift of fortune is poured into her lap
She may return to her own country to become
rich, but she never can enjoy her accidental
wealth with the calm philosophy Of virtue.

Suicide of n Respectable Citizen.

Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph
WRIGHTsTowN, N. j., April 1S.-This usually
quiet neighborhood was greatly shocked yester-
dav by the news of the suicide of Mr.. Alexander
Newbold, an old and highly respected farmer,
who has resided for many years near
Wrightstown. Mr.. Newbold was wealthy
man, but had conceived the idea that
property was depreciating in value, and that his
family would be reduced to poverty. For seve-
raj days past he has given evidences of being of
unsound mind, and had been carefully watched.
He succeeded however, yesterday morning
about o'clock, in escaping surveillance, and,
proceeding to the barn his residence, hung
himself from rafter of the structure. From
the position of the body it was evident that the
unfortunate man had clambered up on the joist,
affixed the rope to the rafter and around his
neck, and then jumped off.
This terrible shock must have broken his
neck, killing him instantly. He was discovered
half an hour later, his hat tightly clenched in
his hand. All efforts for his resuscitation proved
unavailing. Mr.. Newbold leaves wife and
four children, and, as has been stated, large
and very valuable estate. No event has ever
occurred in this section that has caused SO much
feeling and excitement.

an attempt was made 10 shoot Miss O'Gorman.
Madison was the place where Miss O'Gorman
first entered the Roman Catholic sisterhood as a
nun, and the headquarters of the order to which
she once belonged is there located. The sub
ject of the lecture on Friday evening was the
'Romish Priesthood" During the delivery of
the lecture there was no disturbance inside the
room, but q vast mob gathered outside, and at
the conclusion of the lecture, when Miss O'Gor-
man came out of the church. in company with
Rev. Mr.. Parsons, and proceeded to enter the
carriage which was in waiting, rush was made
by the mob, shouts and curses were raised, and
all sorts of abusive language used. The crowd
closed round Miss O'Gorman, but we're kept
from actual violence towards her by a strong
body-guard of the students of Drew Seminary.
just as Miss OGorman stepped into the carriage
a pistol shot was fired directly at her, but for
tupately the ball missed its aim passing over
her head and the carriage was driven rapidly
away to the parsonage, followed by an immense
crowd On arriving at the house, it was at once
surrounded by the mob, aud stones were thrown
and violent language used, but Miss OGorman
was safely escorted out of the parsonage. A
strong guard of citizens surrounded the house,
and nearly all the students of the seminary re-
mained on guard all night, and a number of
their body escorted Miss O'Gorman to Jersey
City yesterday
1t is not known who fired the shot, but the
leaders of the mob are known, and prompt
measures will be taken to bring the guilty
parties to Justice.

Apartments were fitted up under the paternal

rich furniture. Elaborate preparations were
made for the wedding, invitations were sent

Special Despatch to The EueniIlg Telegrdph.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.--It appears that the
bill perfected by the Naval Committee, which
will doubtless be reported to the House to-day
or tomorrow, relative to the line and staff of
the navy, is not satisfactory to either line or
staff. The line thinks it comedies too much to
the staff, and the staff that they are put too
much in the shade. The staff are also bitter in
their denunciations of those of the staff who
from their positions have been able to influence
the committee to give them the rank of COM
modore, while those of now equal rank, by the
bill, only rank as captains The lower grades
of the staff complain that, while the persons
alluded to have ostensibly been working for
their respective corps, they have really been
working for themselves. 1t is very desirable
that the matter should now be definitely settled
by Congress, so that those interested may return
to their duties, and not annoy Congress on the
everlasting line and staff question.
