THE trial of John D. Etzwciler, of Millcrshurg,
Dauphin county, came Off at Pi,tsbHr.: week be-
fore last. We copy the following relating to the
case from the Pttsburg DispGich:
''The trial Of John D. Etzwriicr. charged with
having counterfeit money in lria possession with
intent to pass the same and also with passing
counterfeit money, was concluded in the United
States circuit court yesterday, Jrdgc M'kennau
presiding. Counsel for the defendant, tho Mcssrs.
Puryance, made an able address to the jury and
dwelt strongly upon the fact that there was 10
evidence that Etzwcilcr had at any time showed
spurious notes, also cndeavoring 20 explain his
connection with Reese, Attic, Mcinhart, accord
ing to the line of defence indicated by the tcsti-
mouy of their witnesses on Friday. Mr.. Swoope
followed in an argument to the jury on behalf OF
the government, in the course OF which he re-
viewed the evidence of the witnesses at considcra-
bic length and maintained that no other verdict
than one of conviction could be its legitimate re-
/ suit. The jury returned finding of guilty on
! the first count (the possession OF counterfeit
money! with intent TO pass Il, not guilty on the
/ second, which charged the actual showing They
! also recommended the defendant TO the mercy OF

this place, with volume entitled, "Thc Life,
speeches, Labors and Essays Of Vim. II. Syyis, :"
late President ofthc Iron Mculdera' International
Union, and also Of the National Labor Union.
The book WAS complied and written by J. {.
Sylvis, IL brother OF the deceased. II is hand
5omcly printed and bound, and coutains four
hundred and iity-six pages, and 4 fine steel en-
craving of the deceased. The biography is in Il
great measure, history of the labor movement.
though in some instances not as fully written
out as might be, it is interesting, and shows that
the deceased was jealous worker in the Labor
Union, and had gained prominent position in
that organization. Although We differ in many
respects rs regards lis arguments, We confess
that his speeches are nevertheless interesting and
advance many original ideas. The price Of the
book is 81 80.

communication from Agra dated the 18th
,1lt.. SAYS: "The crops in the Agra district
we're in such splendid condition that the culh-
yators we're looking forward to good harvest
and profitable otturn n 10" VS. sho1s ads
and ryots are in the depth Of 1despair. A dense
cloud Of locusts came up from the south, on
Saturday last, and, after lowering in the air for
some time over the city, they suddenly descend
ed, and, covering the surface of the earth, OF
tho trees, and Of every particle Of vegetation,
thew commenced their work Of destruction,
choosing more especially, as their most choice
rnorsels. the youngest and most delicate leaves
Of trees. the choicest andmost valuable ofplants,
and, what is more sad than all, devouring the
green ears Of grain just beginning to rlpen. 80
thick was tho cloud Of locusts that the sun was
completely hidden, and partial darkness pre-
vailed, as though the sun was eclipaed. The
natives used ali endeavors to dislodge the un-
TeIcome visitors, but all endeaVors failed They
remaiued during the whole Of Saturday night,
part Of Sunday morning, and then started IN q
northerly direction The rnagnlhcent grove or
trees near the club has been utterly denuded OF
whole gardens have been completely destroyed.
Near village called Uchennarra, on the Bhurt-
nore-road, eighteen miles from Agra, the crops
hane been completely ruined, and such has been
the damage done in other parts OF the Agra dis
trict. that it is estimated that the out-turn will
he fifty per cent less than WAS expected before
The locugts arrived In this sublunary sphere it
often happens that evils which are the causes Of
unmitigated suf1eringe to some OF Gods crea-
lures. cause joy and delight to others. The
crows, kites, apazrows, and hawks banqueted

The report Of the Commissioner of Indian
4 fairs puts down the number Of Indians in the
United States and Territories, excluding those in
Alaska, at 100000, and it clnssides them as
civilized, $1,000; semi-civilized, 125,0o0 !;
savage. $4,000. The first Of these
classes include those tribes and consolidated
fragments Of tribes which originally lived in the
Atlantic States, and have been assigned perma-
nent homes in the Indian Territory. Among
these there has been a great Improvement !;
they have their Governments, Executive, Legis-
1atire, and Judicial, and these Governments are
ably and thoroughly administered. Among
these people education is supported. and schools
with native teachers flourish. Their success, it
would seem, is greatly due to the exclusion of
tho white race, and to the Development Of prog
ress by native teachers. Tho next classitica-
ton embraces the many tribes and parts Of
tribes that have abandoned nomadic habits
and are living upon reservations, and are sup
ported b7 Gnvarnrnan& annuihaa. These have
, 1872-12-08

been mainly Christianized; q large number
have their settlements within the limits Of the
States, and, though their habits are good, they
are gradually decreasing in numbers. It also
includes number Of tribes that have, within
comparatively short time, abandoned the savage
life, and have settled down upon reservations,
and are beginning the somewhat difficult life Of
working at agriculture and other employments.
These latter tribes have not advanced far
enough to be able to take cure Of Themselves,
and the Intercourse with the whites has not been
productive Of much good to their habits, morals,
or industry.
The tribes which ore now considered savage
number about one-fourth Of the whole Indian
population. They are mainly composed of tribes
which we're transferred to our Jurisdiction by
the acquisition Of Texas and the Mexican States.
These bands prefer their wild state, and refuse
to understand why civilization is better than bar
barism. They have confidence in their ability to
maintain their contest with the white race, and
at an events prefer the risks Of externination to
submission. All efforts to tame them have
failed. It is possible that. after they shall have
been reduced in numbers by the unequal con-
test, the remainder Of them will accept the in
eVitable, will settle down upon reservations; but
it is more likely that they will be gradually ex-
terminated by wars among themselves and by
the bullet and Thiskey of the ever-adEancing
Anglo-Saxon.

This practice holds good on the general princi-
pie that it is always better to pay high price
for good article than to buy inferior stuff Sim
ply because it is cheap. There are few people,
however, so constituted as to be able to resist
cheaper and moro snowy entertainments, and
not yet been educated up to the standard OF the
best music These must have their entertain
ments. Managers should remember, therefore,
that musical intelligence and culture are not so
general here as in Europe, and that they have
no special public to appeal to but mixed one,
which embraces al degrees Of musical intel
1igence, and, as rule, possesses moderate means.
Should llr. Grau decide to return here before
his season closes, as re sincerely hope that he
will, be wilfnd that, by reduction OF one~third
or one-fourth in tho prices Of admission, he will
be enabled to draw large houses, and make good
any deficit which may have occurred during the
present season.
Itwould be- unjust to the artists, who hare done
so much to entertain their auditors, to bid them
farewell without allusion to q certain class OF
Doors, who on almost every evening have dis
turbed these concerts, and, on three occasions,
have caused Rubinstein to stop in the midst Of
his playing, because it WAS simply impossible
for him to proceed. Talking, hooting,
whiBtling, slamming Of doors, and heavy tramp
ing in the gallery, while the artists we're upon
the stage, have been the rule. These demon
strations have not been confined to the audi
ence Hack and bus drivers in the lobbies, and
careless employees Of the house hive added to the
din. It has been 3 mortifying and disgraceful
exhibition Of ll-manners, and it's repetition will
injure the theatre for musical purposes, and
keep musical people away from it. The man
ayers should carefully instruct their own en-
ployes and, If they cannot keep the gallery dis
turbers quiet in any other way, then keep
policeman in the gallery for that purpose, and
to prevent interloDers from making disturbances
IN the lobbies.

thus by their enemies Even the title Of
" Premier" or "P1ime Minister" now one o1
the highest dignity, vas at hrat nickname,
given IN pure mocke1y,-the statesrnan to whom
it was applied being Sir Robert Walpole, as will
be seen by the following words spoken by him
in the House OF Commons in t742: 'tHaE-

{the opposition) impute to me- an objectionable
abuse OF the chimerica1 authority which Uley

illustrated by 3 story told by Hazlitt in hill

with inaxtinguishable fury, was knocked
down and rolled in the kennel.
and got up in an agony of rage, his white
clothes drabbled and despatched with mud a
respectable and friendly gentleman in the np.gn-
borhood, who pitied his weakness, called him
into his house one day, and demonstrated with
on the subject. He advised him to take no no

doll? What harm ''--:' There-Laere Il is again !''
burst forth the tnfuriated baker; f'you've called

rage in q torrent Of abusive epithets, and darted
out Of the house in tempest Of passion.

The California ghost was good, orthodox,
Catholic ghost II may strike some irreyerent
unbelievers that he came in the particular inter-
est of sectarianism. But, even if this is 80, he
is q decided improvement upon the old
traditional ghost, who comes with the
express purpose of soaring people, who assumes
d ghroud and hor1id skull, who stunbles
around in dark cellnrs, or tramps his ghost-like
tread in deserted ga1rets, and who serves no
ascertainable purpose. II We are to have ghosts

the Cock-Lane variety.
