Shooting A Clergy man to Obtain
Noforta.y


Somtime ago an account was given of an
attempt to shoot clergyman in a Berlin
church during the services. The trial of the
assassin has lust taken place in Berlin, and
has ended by his condemnation to twelve
years hard tabor. Some OF the points which
came out at the trial are curious. Carl Bill
land, the son OF tailor in small country
town, and eighteen years old, was charged
with naving discharged a tin ball at DIR. Hen
riCi during service. with the attempt to muir
der him. He pleaded not guilty; inasmuch
as "man has no free will, he therefore cannot
be guilty. He has done the deed, but thinks,
for this reason, tc have committed no wrong"
The young man is descrb d as OF only COM
mon appearance, and Indifferent TO his rate.
His parents were highly religious people. and
he, too, was OF a religious turn OF mind.
While at school he used to copy out sermons,
and to read them to his tellowpupils. when
he left school he wanted to become an actor;
but his father forced him to read for school
masters examination, which he did, but with
out being able to pass. eff ua-*s r-
: Again he renewed his solicitations for mon
ey TO enable him to prepare for the stage, and
this time the father yielded, frightened by his
sons threat to commit suicide. He then led
so dissipated and disreputable a life thar the
father withdrew his support, thus forcing him
to return home. 1t was in order to avoid this
that he determined to "shoot some clergy
man." Many OF his previous utterapces
among them, that he "must either become
famous or notorious" or his threat to kill one
OF the masters at school because he had done
him some supposed injustice, show a weak
mind and an eccentric and violent DISPOSE
ton. -e- ..- .. .- ..--r.
When the prisoner, upon whom were found
Schillers Robbers" aud Goethe's Faust,
stated that the scene of Faust's going to take
poison bad suggested the shooting OF a clergy
man, the President expressed bis astonish-
ment thereat in these words: This is incon-
ceivable. This scene, in. which Faust is NOV

THE BUSINESS OF LAST YEAR-Ths an
nual report of the Mercantile Agency states
that throughout the United State during 1859
there were 2709 failures, with liabilities
amounting to S75, 1854 900, while in 1868 there
were 26OS, with liabilities amounting to S62,-
774,OOO. During the same period there were
3lS failures in New York and Rrooklyn, with
liabilities amounting to S21 100000. Last
year there were Alt failures in three cities,
with liabilities amounting to SS1, ,653,0o0. The
report comments: l7 a-1r --f
The figures presented properly interpreted
show that in neither number nor amount have
the failures of last year been excessive when
the dullness oftrade and the large deprecia-
ton in values are taken into CONSIDERATION.
Instead of creating alarm as to the present,
or dstrust as to the future, the failures of
1869 indicate a strength and a stability at
once gratifying and assuring. The results Of
the years trade have not been satisfactory
and yery few merchants have increased their
available capital. The trade in and from the
South, however, though it has not greatly in
creased, has become profitable and safe. The
number olpersons now engaged in the inter
nal commerce oftbe country is vastly greater
than before the war. ..er .,-..

GETTING ABOARD.

People who have nj baggage, and are
not going anywhere anyhow, are prone
to laugh at the troubles of the man who
rushes down to the boat just in time to
see her swing off in the stream without
feeling the happy pressure of his foot.
1t is funny: and nc matter how steaming
hot a fellow may stand prompt on the
landing; no matter how calamity he
may have galloped down under weight
for 'agod' to the waters edge; no mat
ter how approximately he may beckon to
the man on the lower deck; he will look
in vain as he turns his weary eye to the
fixtures around him, for one sympathetic
countenance. They do not sympathize.
There they stand, like the sphynx-only
not so sad of countenance. They seem
to be the same he encountered five years
ago. when be came pell nell down the
grade for the same boat, and got on board
a half-hour ahead of time. In each case
the same sneer-saying, without the lips
moving, He s from the country or, as
the sinners say in New York, He s
cheese To be just the thing, you must
go slow-haye your newspaper with the
timetable, your watch just right, and
get aboard just as ~leisurely as if at a
funeral, and not let the plank haul in
one minute later than you alight on deck.
