THE NEW GOODS WHICH MOODY BROUGHT
WITH Hrx.-If after reading the list of new
goods, which is published in another col
umn this morning, our readers do not con-
clude with us that Mr.. Moody's time during
his late visit to the North must lave been
entirely engaged in looking for fine, fashion
able and tasty things for his customers, and
that he must at all times keep them in mind
and think how he can minister to their
wants, We will be much mistaken. One
would suppose of an ordinary man that
when, during the heated term, he had left
his store and business to take short recre-
alton in another climate-a recreation we
all need and yearn aiter-that he would
leave all thoughts of his customers behind
and turn his attention, like other men, to
fun and fiolic, gaiety and pleasure. But
not 20 with him. His fun appears to be in
preparing surprises for his friends at home.
In preparing to make them happy upon his
turn BY bringing with him things which
will ornament their persons as they were
never ornamented before. Such is the re-
suit of his last summers trip away from
home. He only spent his time in ransack-
ing the markets of the North and East for
beautiful things for his customers, and the
list We publish of them this morning shows
the result. He is really . public bene-
factor.

This road was familiar to our merchants
years ago when it was being built. Eighty
miles of it were constructed from New
Orleans westward to Berwick's Bay, and
this section is now doing good service under
the name of MOrgan's Louisiana and Texas
railroad. in connection with a splendid
line OF steamers belonging to the same pro-
prietor, spreading the benefits Of a rich
commerce for many hundred miles along
the gulf coast as far as Mexico. In 1860, a
rOadbed had also been built for nearly one
hundred miles north from the bay to Ope-
lousas, at considerable expense.
The war interrupted this enternr;se
though one of great promise; broke up the
company, and left the road in that state
un til now, when it is revived under a new
company. but with the same name it had
before. This road extends through the
southwestern parishes Of Louisiana, for
merly producing nearly seventy thousand
hogeheads of sugar, one hundred thousand
barrels of molasses, besides great quantities
of cotton, cattle and corn, etc.
1t is the land Of the live oak and orange
tree, exceedingly fertile and beautiful,
famed BY the trade winds from the gulf
Not more than fifth Of it has ever been in
cultivation, and no region holds out more
solid advantages to the emigrant. 1t was
on those wide and lovely plains that the
Arcadians found hOspitable refuge from
their prosecutors during the early part Of
the last century, as referred to by LOngfel-
low in his 'sEvangeline."

In the early part Of last month Phil Sheri-
dan and Andy Stewart. two boys. aged the
one five and the other nine years. exem-
pli6ed the doctrine Of total depravity or
that Of hereditary insanity in the following
dreadful way: They were inmates of an
inirmary in one Of the counties of Ohio,
where there was little lame boy named
Murphy. and him they determined to bury
alive. In pursuance Of this design they dug
hole in an orchard near the infirmary,
then caught the cripple and dragged him to
his grave. into which they thrust him. held
him down. and then shoveled earth and
stones upon him until his cries were smOth-
cred ana he was dead. Then the young
murderers went back to the house without
informing anybody of what they had done.
Some hours afterward the superintendent
noticed the little lame boys absence and
inquired as to his whereabouts, learning
from colored boy that 'Andy Stewart and
Phil Sheridan had buried 'Limpy' down in
the holler," where the superintendent found
his body. Application has been made to
Judge Martin. of the Probate Court, to have
the two urchins sent to the Reform School,
probably with the hope that hereditary
cruelty shall be driven out by education.

Civil Service Commission.
From the St. Louis Republican.

WASHINGTON. d. c., November 1.-The
chairman Of the civil service commission
had an interview with the President to-day.
lasting some time, in which he submitted a
preliminary report Of the results which
have been reached by the commission in
various branches of the proposed civil SER
vice reform.
The members of the commission do not
agree, but theye is no difference of opinion
that the standard of all persons in the civil
service should be raised, and better class
of appointments made, wherever practical
BILE. Mr.. Curtis, though q strong partisan,
believes that the proper standard should be
character and capacity, and that political
considerations should be ignored Altogether.
Others Of the commission fear that pslitical
considerations will never be done a1ay
with, and that they can only be affected 6S
rigid competitive Examinations.
Notwithstanding, however. that the COM
mission was organized under rather in
definite legislation, and that it had many
obstacles to contend with, it promises some
practicable results, which, if indorsed by
the President, to whom they are to be sub
mitted, may yet assume positive shape in
the legislation Of Congress.
The commission, at its session to-day, had
under discussion the appointment Of post
masters.

The Marvellous History Of the Little Mare
Goldsmith Maid-Once Seld fer o36O.
Goldsmith Maid was sired by Major Ed
sails HaMbletOnian, he by Rysdick's Ham
bletonian. Her dam is old Abdallah, she by
Rysdick's HambletOnian. So she is "true
blue" Hambletonian mare, descending on
both sides from the famous old sire. She
was raised by John b. Decker in Sussex
county, New jersey, just across the line
which divides Orange and Sussex counties
and the States of New York and New Jer-
sey. In 1864 or 1865 John H. Decker, q
nephew of the above named John B. Decker,
and Thomas Bingham, former owner Of
Vanderbilt's Mountain Boy, both of New
burg, were buying horses for the army
Driving through this country in search Of
stock, they saw this mare running loose in
offered two hundred and sixty dollars for
her. She was then about six or seven
years old, and entirely unframed, having
never been in harness, except about
twelve hours. half of which time, as Mr..
Decker then stated, he plowed corn with
her, hauling stones with the other halt. She
was there and then sold to Messrs. Decker
& Bingham for $3.50. The next day they
started with the mare through Orange
county toward Goshen. and sold her to
William Tcmpkins, better known as ''Jer-
Ssey BILL tor $3.50. She was at this time
%iry and fre:ful.. Mr.. Tompkins soon dis
ppsed of her for $500. He owned her about
siA months. Alden Goldsmith was the pur.
chaser. Previous to her purchase by Mr..
Goldsmith she had had but comparatively
little \handling. and her great speed is en-
tirely due to the training while in his hands.
The Maid and Lucy were to trot in Phila-

the owner OF the Maid, recently wrote to

Collector Murphy.

The New York Tribune of the second
instant says:
Mr.: Thomas Murphy has repeatedly de-
MED his connection with the Tammany ring
in its real estate operations. We give the
record Of his transactions for 1869 to 1870,
partnership with the great real estate ring
Of the city. These records are sufficint
proof Of what We have asserted, and show
that the connection continued down to a
late date, and that Mr. Murphy has been
engaged with Tweed, Connolly, Sweeney
and Smith in suspicious transfers since the
ring got into its present complications. It
Is now an interesting question whether such
transactions will hold good, in the event of
Judgment being obtained against Tweed.

CHICAGO Martial Law.

This is special to the St. Louis Repub.
Acdn:
CHICAGO, November lit was very gen.
orally known that Governor Palmer was
not pleased with the military occupation of
Chicago under General Sheridan, which
eliminated in the shooting of Colonel
Thomas w. Grosvenor, the Indignation at
Springfield over that melancholy affair be-
ing even deeper than that shown here. The
governor was known to be in readiness to
furnish all aid, civil or military, necessary
for the preservation of order in the city,
deeming that as chief magistrate he was
the proper person to apply to when such aid
was needed. However, when the city was
practically placed under martial law, he
did not interfere until after the death Of
Colonel Grosvenor, when letter from him
to Mayor Mason was speedily followed by
. termination of the military rule. That
letter was carefully suppressed by the gov
ernor from motives Of delicacy, and by the
mayor from motives that can easily be
imagined.

CHICAGO, October 3l.-A letter from Lin

OF October, Miss Mary Ann Sevindell. about
eighteen years old, while in the office of
Beason & Blinn, lawyers, shot Henry H.
Howell, of Prairie Creek. The shot was
from behind. the 6all entering below the
right shoulder, and coming out ut the left
breast. 1t is feared that it will prove fatal.
After being shot, Mr.. Howell walked few
steps about the room as one dazed; unbut.
toned his vest, and saw blood O0zing ir0m
the wound; picked the bullet up from the
floor and handed it to gentleman present,
remarking that he was killed, and then
sunk upon the floor.
Miss Sevindell had suit against Howell
for seduction, which had just been compro-
missed. and as Howell was starting to get
the agreement acknowledged by party,
the shot was fred without saying . word.
