ST. PAUL, MIMI, August 81, 1872.
Mrs. Charlotte Lamb has been arrested at Trum-
bull, Pierce county, Wis.,, and placed in the Els
worth jail, charged with poisoning five persons.
In September, 1871, her husband died very sud-
denly, showing symptoms of poisoning.
In May last her son, aged ten years, became sud-
denly sick, was affected like his father, and died
within an hour
In June daughter, aged eight years, died equally

The Cream of the Religious Press.

The Cream OF the Religious Press.
The Christian Union enforces Mr.. Beecher'
views on the Sunday question pretty thor
oughly, spelling the ammunition of the Puri-
tanical critics who have found fault with his
recommendation to open library reading rooms
on Sunday Quoting the saying of the Master
that ''the Sabbath was made for man, not man
for the Sabbath" he shows that its proper OBJ
servance does not consist entirely in attending
public worship or in secret religious medita-
ton, but that the exercise Of social virtues and
communion with nature often are useful in get
ting the highest good out of the sacred day.
1t treats also of the 'Life to come" showing
sequence of our present life, as maturity and
old age follow and flow from youth. The char
acter formed in us through the million acts Of
our will abides with us when we face death,
and crosses the boundary with us.
The Tablet devotes long article to Catholic
reform in Germany, remarkirg that calling
Pere Hyacinth, Dollinger and other excommuni-
Gated priests "Old Catholics is mean fraud,
intended to deceive the credulous. 1t alleges
that these teachers are not Catholics, old or
new, but simply Nationalists, endeavoring to
break up the organization of the Catholic
Church and the authority Of its head-the
Pope-for the benefit of Kaiser William and
other political rulers, whom 1t denounces as
enemies and prosecutors of the Church. In q
political article it asserts o preference for
Grant for administrative ability and person
ally, and calls Mr.. Greeley's nomination one
not fit to be made Yet it wants peace and
despairs of obtaining it through republican
party methods and hopes for brighter days
to the South and the nation from change.
Church and State talks about orthodoxy in
character, showing that what is really desir-
able in character may not be attained by all
who hold pure theoretical faith. A true
creed is not Christianity, and however valu-
able in conjunction with Christian charac-
ter, it is but useless property without that &C.
commandment The creed and the life should
RIM together. but we should remember that
Christ was before all creeds moulding the
character OF His disciples and forming them
into power for salvation to those that be-
lieve. It urges the necessity of Christian
unity, reasoning that many Of the points of
difference among the various sects may really
be immaterial, and that, if not absolutely con-
| trary to the spirit of tho Divine Word, these

The FALL SEASON AND THE RETURN OF
TnADE.-The advent Of the cool autumn days
is marked by the return of the pleasure seek
ers, and the streets begin to give evidence Of
returning life and activity. The delightfully."-
cool weather which we have enjoyed for the
last few days has not been without its marked
influence on commercial energy, which was
prostrated during the heated summer term.
A general resumption of business took place
as the last days Of summer bade us adieu,
and we are once more face to face with
the real business Of life. The state of our
advertisement columns to-day gives evidence
of on unwonted activity in business circles;
and as no better indicator of the fluctuations
of trade can be found than the columns of the
HERALD, which faithfully reflect the hopes,
fears, wants and wishes of the community
we may confidently look forward to season
of unusual enterprise and activity.

W. h. COOKS OPINION OF NOE.

CHICAGO, III, August 81, 1872
The Times publishes report OF an interview
with w. Fl. Cook, who was mentioned by
Noe In Q recent letter throwing discredIt
upon Stanley as having been the trav-
eling companion OF Stanley and Noe on
their recent tour through Asia. Cook says Noe was
a boy whom Stanley picked up on board a vessel
and took along as servant. From the published
report 1t appears that he considers Stanley re-
markabe man and Noe fraud.

conscientiously careful manner towards q
final settlement of the great international
work which has been confded to its care.
The members appear to be slightly embar-
raised by the presence of "a multitude of
petty details" But this was, certainly, to be
expected. These details are the mere debris
of the wreck which was made among the
American mercantile marine by the Anglo
rebel cruizers. Better, if it is judicially pos
sible, to permit them to drift aside, for a
season at least. Tie counsel, with one of the

The NuMANcIA. After the little yellow fever
scare, on account of the Spanish steam ram
Eumancia, our citizens will rejoice to know
that the disease hos entirely disappeared from
among her inmates, no fresh cases having
occurred within several days, and those who
were prostrated being now convalescent She
still lies at the anchorage in the Lower Bay,
near the Southwest Spit, but will, within
day or two, by permission of Health Officer
vanderpoel, be brought up to the city by Pilot
Gillispie, who safely conducted her over the
bar. After taking her supply Of about thou
sand tons of coal she will proceed to Spain.

The SPECIAL WONDER in connection with
the late dreadful disaster On the Sound is not
that the steamer was SO quickly flooded and
broken up, and is not that such terrible
destruction followed so quickly such an
apparently triAing collision but it is in the
number of lives saved from the steamer in the
confusion and under all the difficulties of the
heavy sea, the storm and the darkness. These
things considered, while the lives lost are
cause for sorrow, the lives saved are q cause
for our special wonder and thanksgiving, TOR
their preservation appears almost miracle

CANADIAN NEUTRALITY. royal proclama-
ton has been issued by the Governor General
of the New Dominion, warning Canadians not
to assist the Cuban insurgents by enlisting for
their service, in violation of the Foreign En-
listment act Her Majesty loyal subjects are
commanded to desist from thus levying war
against the friendly power of Spain, and mott
fed that any infraction of the law will be
promptly dealt with. In the case of Cuba the
British government is more tardy in recognize
ing the insurgents as "belligerents" than in
the case of our rebel States during our late
unpleasantness. He'd she been thus prompt
and firmly neutral in our case we should have
had a shorter war; with less loss of life and de-
structon of property; and we should have had
no necessity for the Treaty of WASHINGTON and
Geneva arbitration.

FINANCIAL AFFAIRS IN ENGIAND.-A report
comes from London that the recent failures in
England had the effect of depressing consols
and causing general feeling Of insecurity in
financial circles. We do not suppose there is
any probability of general disturbance Of
values or the market. Certain spectators in
cotton and other things have been trying to
make corner, just as the wheat spectators
in Chicago and the gold spectators in Wall
street did, and have been cornered themselves
in the operation. That is about all there is in
il, and we do not suppose the effect will ex-
tend far or last long.

several shipwrecks but SO far, as it appears,
involving no losses of life. Within the last
week series of heavy storms, oil no doubt be-
longing to the same general drift of clouds
from the Gulf of Mexico, have occurred in
different parts Of the country between the
great Plains and the Atlantic coast We had
been warned of their approach by the northern
lights for several nights in succession, and
now, from the vast extent of country swept by
these storms, and from the great change in the
temperature from heat to cold which has
followed them, we infer that 'the back bone"
of this equatorial Summer in these ATTITUDES is
broken, and that clouds and storms and cold
winds will probably now prevail for some time.
At all events, our seafaring men, on our out
side and inland seas will act wisely hence
forward, for many months to come, in care
fully consulting, before putting out to sea, the
warnings of the Signal Service Bureau; for
the Summer season of Gains has passed away
and the season of storms is upon us, and the
September equinoctials, it would appear, have
already been skirmishing over the Continent.
The GREAT MIsrAKE.-After the collision
the Metis kept on her way her injuries, owing
to the darkness, not being Immediately dis
covered; but they were thought to be incon-
siderable by the mate and engineer, who were
sent by the captain to inspect the ship in the
quarter where the collision occurred. The
mate and engineer, without thorough inspec-
ton, it would thus appear, supposed there
was no danger, when they and the captain
should have been sure as to the real condition
of the ship, as the very first duty after the
collision required Of them at oil hazards.

which must be settled when fuller and more
reliable information is at hand but the
loss of life which results from an INSULT
cient supply of lifeboats must be blamed on
criminal neglect of the safety of the passengers
for which the company alone are responsible.
Calamities like the loss of the Metis are sufH-
GENTLY frequent to demand that no precaution
for the safety of life shall be neglected on
board steamboats, plying on home waters In
the present case, 30 far as can be judged by
the information received, no sufficient prep
aration for possible shipwreck had been made
The calamity which befell the Sound steamer
had its parallel in the loss of the Arctic, off
Cape Race, just eighteen years and two days
before. That magnificent vessel left port with
perfection Of equipment which seemed to
defy the fates, but when off Cape Race the
dark hull of on iron steamship suddenly
doomed up through the dense fog, and before
either ship could obey the helm they met like
angry monsters of the deep. A crash, and
cry of despair from hundreds of helpless men
and women, and both vessels settled down
in the dark waves An effort was made by the
Arctic to reach land, just rs similar effort
was made by the Metis but the waters rushed
in through the gaping sides, extinguishing the
fires, and the vessel, suddenly plunging into
the ocean depths, carried with her some two
hundred souls. Except in the number Of lives
lost the circumstances Of the loss Of the two
vessels are almost identical. Fortunately the
Metis was close to shore, or we fear the paral-
lei would have been perfect. The lesson taught
by the constantly occurring catastrophes on
our river and coasting steamboats, Is easy
enough to read. Each calamity proceeds with

Weary, wet and wounded, she was

sionate'y she longed for home, but
still she would not ask for aid.
On she must 60. She rested on q
blade Of grass she hid in clump of
violets she swayed on tho branches
OF trees; she lay in deserted birds
nest. Onco climbing on honey.
suckle vine, she looked into n window,
and saw lying on a couch the gi,l
who had walked in the garden. Sho
lay, palc and fair, with il withered
rose in bor hand, and her golden hair
like halo i'll the moonlight.
And still tho lost Plciad must ~
on, for so much Of her celestial nature
clung to her. Weary, faint, broken
hearted, her lustro dimmcd, her ia.
ture saddencd, her hopes proved false,
her dearest wishes denied, she longcd,
indeed, for her home, aud but that she
must own herself in tho wrong, she
would now have tried to seek her
homo But the proud spirit was uh.
broken, aud she would not own her
fault, or asked to be recei we'd into the
home she had SO wilfully left.
After many wandorings, she como
to still churchyard. So quiet it
seemed, so calm and pea ;eful in the
pure moonlight, it looked to the lost
Plciad even like unto the heavenly
home she bad left. No longer proud,
but humblcd to the dust, she sank on
a baby's grave, and cried aloud not
to be taken back, only to be pardon
cd.
One. two, three, on the hushcd mid.
night cir, came borne the sad notes of
the p ssing bell, tolliug for the soul
Of the maiden who lay dying. Tkc
maiden who was glad to die in her
youth and beauty for hor lover had
gone down ut sea. Seventeen, cigh.
teen, ninctccn,-as the last stroke
died Oh the still air, the same noun
beam bore to heaven tho ponisent star
and the sinlcss soul Of the maiden.
And thc freed soul recognized the
star IN the garden, and as they noated
hca"enward together the stars, and
the angels, and the "spirits Of the
just made perfect" joined the tri-
umphal song Of welcome and with
their songs were mixed the glad pcals
of the Christmas chimes, and strains
Of the Christmas carols rising from
the earth below.
But the lost Plciad was doomed to
shino no more for tho space Of hun.
drcds OF years, for IT'S beauty was
marrcd, its strength wasted, and 1t
must bear the punishment of its dis,
content and disobcdlcnce.
Sometimes in tho silent summer
night when flowers arc sleeping, or in
the long nights, which winter gives
when the earth is wrapped in white
garments Of snow, lonely traveller
may be startled by the appearance of
another Plciad, whose light is soft
and moro brilliant than the others.
