APoloaETIc.

from tho Philadelphia Press, March 81
A paragraph concerning Miss Pau
line Markham from the Press, In which
the decline Of that lady was regrettully
commented upon, has caused no little
sensation, and brought forth many In
dignant letters from her friends. These
letters have been published In the New
York Sun. With n or two severe
and undeserved remarks upon the
writer OF the original article, they state
that Miss Markham Is not sick. that
she is not poor, and that she Is rs beau
tiful as ever. One enthusiastic In
diyidual declares that her diamonds
alone would support her for ten years,
and another goes into particulars about
her appearance, and says that II any
thing is the matter with her 1t Is In her
collar bones, which are rather more
prominent than before. We are sorry
about the collar bones, but glad as to
the rest, though We hope she will not
have to sell her diamonds. We meant
no attack upon Mas Markham, but
were really sorry when we saw her, as
we thought, a wreck Of her former self.
After all that has occurred, We ought
now to know that We were mistaken,
and we therefor accordingly believe
we were, and that we did not Q what
We did see.

COLORADO aslp HINES.
from the Eureka Sentinel, April ID.

From the Eureka Sentinel. April sal
We have for the last week heard
runiors Of the discovery Of new gold
placer mines in Northern Arizona, on
some of the tributaries Of the Colorado
river, nearly due south Of here. Let
tiers have been received In this place
speaking In encouraging terms of the
prospects Of tho new FL Dorado. but
we have not heard Of anything so fiat
tering as the following, which the
Elko Independent copies from a letter
written by Captain Cook, late Of that
place: "These mines are situated on
the Kanabwash and Diamond rivors,
and were first found by discovering
gold on some bars on the Colorado
river, below where these rivers empty
into it. From there the miners fol-
lowed up and found gold, the gold
coming from these streams, and at last
accounts had found placers extending
a distance Of twenty-tour miles, pay
Ing from s2l to $50 to the man. Cook
writes that II the excitement continues
thirty days there would DO but few
men left In Phoebe. Mr. Miller wrote
from the mines to Smith, who was
Wells, Fargo 6 Co.'s messenger from
hero to Ogden, that lie was making
from $40 to $50 a day, and some Of the
pro,pectors that had gone toward tho
head of the river were making as high
as from $40 to $500 per day with the
pan."

LIFE INSURANCE AND SUICIDE.

A verdict has been given In the Su-
preme Court against the knickerbooker
Life Insurance Company, In a suit
turning upon the question Of suicide.
The plaintiff was the widow OF q man
who had shot himself, and the amount
of the insurance policy was 10000.
Payment having been resisted on the
ground that the policy contained a
clause freeing the Company from re.
sponsiblllty in case tho party insured
die by his own hand, sane or insane
the old question came up again. with
the usual result. The verdict Is for the
full amount named In policy with Ii .
terest added. Repeated verdicts Of
this character against the life insur-
ance companies establish so many pre-
cedents that It Is evidently useless to
continue the process Of litigation. Il
would be better to expunge the custom
ary anti-suiclde clauses OF the policies,
than to incur defeat In lawsuits, and
paw costs besides. Juries seem to be
readily convinced that the heirs Of a
suicide are entitled to the policy which
no kept up by regular payment Of pre-
miums to q Life Insurance Company.

TIE "Lowsry" gang-a band Of
robbers in North Carolina-whose ad-
ventures and daring crimes have been
lately made the subject o fan immense
newspaper sensation, serve to attract
attention again to the South. The
"outlaws" In this case are men Of
mixed blood, with an infusion Of High
land, Indian, and negro element, but
they are not the only mon in the
Southern States who shoot and muir
der. In the section Of the Carolinas,
the country around tho border between
the two, In which this band roves, the
whole populace Il little better than
outlaws, and human life Is not as safe
or sacred as It Is on the plains and
among the Apachss. The ~"crackers"
that live in these grounds are about the
lowest and most degraded beings that
inhablt this country. II living among
such neighbors as these, the "Low-
erys," have killed and robbed sufl-
GENTLY to have heavy rewards offered
for their bodies ''dead or alive" they
must be an extraordinary bad set, COM
pared with whom Quantrell and his
gang were as tame and harmless rs
sucking doves.

TEE question Of beer or no beer con-
tinues to agisate the Legislature of
Massachusetts, or did so at the latest
advices. The Boston Transcrip. quotes,
with great reverence, the opinion of
DIR. II. j. Bowditch, which Is "that
clinical experience proves. If 1t proves
anything, that every form Of stimu-
liant now In use can be made a bless
ing II used temporarily and on proper
occasions; but If used Unexpectedly
or improperly, each and all may be-
come poisonous to tie last degree"
But the prohibitionists insist that this
does not 60 to the vital question,
which Is, whether the beer does not do
more harm than good? And so the
battle RACES.

A BULL ATTACKS A LOCOMOTIVE.

From tho Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.l
The story Of a bull that tried to butt
a locomotive off a bridge has been told
but never believed. An occurrence on
tho Lake Shore railroad on Thursday
brings It to the range of probabilities.
About three miles west. of tho city Of
Erie, as a tram was running slowly, a
COW stopped on the track. A tne
looking bull had gone over a little
ahead. An attempt was made to stop
the train, as the cow did not move, but
she was struck and thrown into the
ditch. The bull appeared to compre,
bend the situation, and commenced
trying to butt the train (which was
then stoppsd) of the track. There
was danger that he would get his horns
entangled under one Of the cars, and
1t was only after the hands had turned
out en- masse and dubbed him on that
the train could be started without the
risk of breaking his neck.

THAT SKELETON.

from the Reese River Rsveille OF Monday
The Coroner, Mr.. John Groves. went
to the scene Of the supposed tragedy,
of which We gave the particulars Sat-
urday last, accompanied by n Of the
gentlemen who discovered the skeleton
with the rope around its neck. The
remains proved to be those OF an lndi-
an pappoose Of about four or five years
of age. The PROJECTORS who discov-
cred the skeleton were not aware, pro-
badly of the custom Of the Indians who
dispose of their dead by dragging them
commonly by q rope hitched around
the neck-to the first convenient re-
c~eptacle, covering them with rocks ;
and being In a furry over the unex-
pected discovery, they did not stop to
observe the Dimensions Of the skeleton.

RELATIVE to the high prices paid to
singers In America, Barnum claims the
championship for Jenny Lind. He
writes: ~ paid the Swedish Night
ingale $2OS, 675 for ninety-fiye concerts,
which gives an average Of $2.l6 per
concert, or $3.50 for twenty nights.
I also paid all the expenses Of Miss
Lind. her companion and servants
from England, and all their hotel and
travelling expenses up to the last con-
cert, besides furnishing her always
with a private coach and horses"
wachtel Is now paid $50, 1000 for twenty
nights. In reference to receipts, It Is
recorded that there were received for
the n~inety-ive concerts given by Jenny
Lind, $7l2, l61 81, an average Of 81
400 43 for each concert. The largest
receipts for ten nights were respect
lively: $l7.S64. $l6.479. $l6,02S. $l4,-
266, $l4, 2O3. $l2, 500. $l2,3s5, $12,5l9,
$l2, ia and $l1.S4S; total for ten
evenings, $40, 365. This occurred In
1851, when $1,000 were considerably
more In value than they are now.

RRIIoIoUs

or all tho changes wrought amongst
mankind during the last four centuries
none has been greater than that which
has 80 largely tended to the superin-
duction of a spirit Of charity aud toier-
alton for every religious belief that
bears upon 1t the stamp Of genuine sim
certify, and no change shows so surely
as does this the advance that mankind
has made towards true religion. The
breaking down Of the barriers between
sects, OF, rather, the approval accorded
by sect. to each other, and the recog-
milton by each Of the common purpose
of all-fresh evidence Of which We see
every day in acts Of mutual concession
lis the best proof we can have Of how
wide-spreadlng and fa~r-reachinS the
tolerant spirit has become. The con-
trass between the feeling on religious
subjects now and that which existed
four hundred years ago is startling in
deed. Then, In Europe one single be-
lief was regnant, and to all who dared
stray beyond Its narrow bounds was
msted out the penalty Of death In some
horrid form. In Asia still darker
creeds held sway, and upon their
doubters were visited like penalties,
while in other quarters Of the world,
there can DO no doubt, were practiced
cruelties whose only difference wal the
difference Of the law for tho transgres-
sion Of which they were inflicted. 10
contemplate, from u present stand
point, these benighted ages behind us,
causes soul-sickness to every true man,
and the fact that the beginning OF their
sad story reaches back to almost the
foundation Of the world, serves to i'm
press upon US still more strongly their
weary, despairing gloom.
The change that has come over the
world In the past four centuries has,
verify. been great and one for which
too much thankfulness cannot be felt
or expressed. Now In every civilized
land religious liberty Is not only con-
oeded IS a privilege, but Is accorded as
a right; while even In most Of the
lands which we term "heathen"-be-
cause their ways are not our ways
there Is practically tho same freedom
of worship granted to all sects and
creeds. It cannot be believed that the
dark night through which the world
has passed was without Its uses; the
faith and trust In One who does all
things we'll. and does nothing unad-
visedly or without a purpose, forbtds
the entertainment OF such a thought.
The trial must have been necessary, or
1t would never have been ordained,
and As we look back on the record OF
time we fecl sure that this Is indeed a
belief that Is true ; for looking thus
back We can see that as progressive
ages have rolled over the world, purg-
ing mankind with fires Of sorrow and
tribulation, . purer life has been gen
Grated and the fierce hates Of sects and
nations which have existed for CEN
turtles have been forced gradually to
fade away-to fade and give place to a
wlde-spreading spirit Of love that
draws together In bonds Of sympathy
and affection all classes and conditions
of the race created In the image Of Its
God.

Rysutsgeously, 1t should be done with j,ldg-

Idy needs exercise. but the whole body is too
leak to give it, in such case, only part that

bemselves into the grave by endeav voring to

hey do "keep up" tO, for so long time,
BAT when they do take to their beds their
rength is so completely exhausted that the
