every question at issue. II has declared
that the alleged frauds in the Methodist
Book Concern ''have not only not been
proved but they have not been made de-
Gently probable" Yet in the first report of
the committee which inquired into the al
legged frauds (November, 1869, the third
resolution ran as follows:-''That the inves-
tigation of the bindery has satisfied the
Committee that there had been q great mis-
management in this department, and that
serious losses have occurred therein" DIR,
Curry now denies all this-for reasons which
may, perhaps, appear if the approaching in
vestigation is full and thorough, and not a
''hole. .and-corner" affair, designed to- conceal
the 'mismanagement" referred to in the
above resolution of the committee. The
Christian Ad0ocdteitse which now unblush-
ingly denies the existence of any wrong
doing, said last November: -''The whole
Church owes a large debt of gratitude to
the members of the Book Committee for
their laborious, diligent, and patient investi-
cations of the whole affair.
We need not expect to get at the truth on
this subject from the Christian Ad0ocdte-
which, by the by, very naturally came the
other day to the defense of Messrs. Astor,
Taylor, Roberts & Co., whitewashers by
wholesale and retail. So many jobs in that
line have had to be done of late to the Metho-

cate has that ''fellow feeling" which ''makes
us wondrous kind" towards the great profess
sors of the art. What we demand now, in
behalf of thousands of Methodists, is fair
and impartial investigation. The attempt is
to be made to burke DIR. Lanahan, and if it
succeeds, it will be one of the greatest scan
dals ever brought upon the Methodist Church.
The swagger of the Christian Ad00cate cannot
be allowed to blind the public to the true
facts of the case. The editor of that journal
would probably like to have the whole ques-
tion settled in Room No. 13, under the direc-
ton of Judge Cardozo. But that style of
''hushing up" unpleasant business is not yet
universal, and if DIR. Lanahan is to be bounded
down for doing his duty as an honest man
and Christian gentleman, it will have to
be done in the face of day, and with the
full light of public opinion turned upon the
transaction.

A BRAVE WoMAS.-Colorado is the
home of the bravcst woman of the age,
Mrs. Van Harmon. One day, while
her husband aud several other men were
in pursuit Of Indians, her two little
children came running into the house
CRYING, 1.-The Indians, the Indians "
Two shots fired at the children struck
the thick oak door just as the young
mother shut il in the face Of three Chcy.
enne warriors. After boiling the door
and piling bed, bureau and stove before
it the mother sent her little ones into
the cellar. Taking n revolver and an
old rnsty rifle, the heroic young woman
stood near the open window, shooting
only when n painted face made itself
visible in the brush. This determined
conduct kept the Indians at respectful
distance. and after two hours OF vain
mannuvering TO outwit the brave wo.
man they set fire to the barn and left.
The smoke attracted the attention Of
the scouting party. who returned in time

some crime to which their desperation
tempts them. The fluctuations of trade

Dcxter's Time Beaten.

On the Cold Spring course at Milwau.
Eee, the great race between Goldsmith
Maid and Lucy lately took place. The
start was effected after much difficulty.
The Maid was rank, and insisted upon
forging ahead without word, and Lucy
was unfortunate in getting place. After
three or four efforts they got of, the
Maid slightly leading around the turn.
She worked very smoothly, but on the
back stretch Lucy caught her. For sew
eral hundred yards they trotted nearly
neck and neck. At the three.quarter
pole the Maid began to draw away from
the other and show considerable Of q
gap, which was closed up again, how
ever, rs they whirled into the home
stretch. Up the stretch they trotted
very evenly, but the Maid lead by a
length, and steadily kept it to the end.
When tho time was announced, 2,2Ol,
The spectators seemed very much sur
prised.
On the second heat the start was
effected without trouble, and the bell
sounded at the first effort. Both mares
trotted very fast TO the quarter, but here
the pace was too hot for Lucy, and
she slnckencd her speed. The Maid
was dashing down the course like light.
ming. She drew round the quarter.
pole, and flew away from the other like
KITE before the wind. It was evident
to all that Budd was driving for time,
and instantly every neck was stretched
to catch his movements. He bent down
in the sulky and encouraged the little
flyer by gentle words and manipulation
OF the reins Goldsmith Maid and her
flying feet were eagerly watched rs she
swept into the home stretch. On she
came like flying hiwn, her driver never
casting his eye to the right or to the
left. He was driving the mare for speed,
not merely to win the heat. He had
never touched her with his whip, never
called to her in loud voice, but simply
let her slip along in her own way. She
passed under the string with perfect
ease six lengths ahead OF Lucy. As she
did so, a long, lank, lean badger crossed
the track, holding in his hand an old
silver watch. He was almost crazy with
excitement. He gesticulated wildly,
and shouted, II bet thousand dollars
that's the best time ever made The
spectators looked at the badger and
laughed in Jcrision nevertheless every
one was satisfied that fast time had been
made. All eyes were turned toward the
Judges stand. There seemed to be
some hesitation there about announcing
the time. Presently the board was hung
out, and on it was written the Rstonish.

by one-fourth of a second. The Maid
was driven by Budd Doble. She is

The Muscular Strength Of Insects.

The strength of an insect can be finely
illustrated by feat that was once per.
formed by beetle-orycies mdEoa-a
variety that is quite common in the
United States. The beetle, for want Of
any box Mt hand, was put beneath II
quart bottle full of milk upon u table,
the hollow at the bottom allowing him
to stand upright. Presently, to the sur.
prise Of all in the room, the bottle began
slowly to move and glide along the
smooth table, propelled by the muscular
power Of the imprisoned insect, and con.
tinued for some time to pemmbulnte the
surface. The weight Of the bottle and
its contents could not have been less
than three pounds and half, while that
OF the beetle was about half ounce, so
that il readily moved n weight one hun
dred and twelve times exceeding its own.
A better notion than figures can convey
will be obtained of this feat by suppos.
ing n lad of fifteen to be imprisoned
under the great bell of st. Paul's which
weighs 10000 pounds and to move il to
and fro upon smooth pavement by
pushing within against the side. We
have another instance OF insect.power
that is quite us remarkable as the one
Just related. A small kind Of carbus, IN
elegantly formed ground-beetlc, weigh.
ing three and half grains, was once fas.
tened by n silk thread to n piece of paper,
a weight having been previously laid
uuOn the hitter At n distance If ton
inches from its load, the insect was able
to drag after it, upon Il inclined plane of
twenty-five degrees, very nearly eighty.
FIVE grains, but when placed on n plane
Of five degrees inclination, it drew after
it one hundred and twenty-five grains,
exclusive of the friction to be overcome
in moving its load.
