SECRET SOCIETIES.

Truly man loves the mysteries. from
the fact that 50 many sign and pledge
themselves to something Of which they
know nothing. We cay man. for preci-
Gus few denominations of secrecy permit
our sex to have knowledge of the back
scenes. For this reason will our lamen-
tations for the present be. we'll to be sure
we do get peep into temperance move
ments. and we get peep out Of them,
too, and note TO our sorrow there are a
few Judas in their sect as well as other
good institutions.
But the most curious TO us are those
that array themselves in gorgeous apparel
on high days and holidays, on whom we
gaze in CONSERVATION and reverence, and
imagine we see written on the parapha-
malta of every devotee-"Stand off for
we are holier than thou
We have endeavored to ferret out the
benefit of the said-to-be signs, and quiet
meetings. but always the same old story,
viz. to help those of the fraternity in trou
BILE, and after the exist Of any of the said
Brethren by death, to attend to the wants
of their widows We are aware of the
command to comfort those in affliction,
and visit the fatherless and widows, but
we cannot be made to understand that
Free Masonry and Oddfellowship, partic-
ularly is intended to take charge of the
injunction. At all events we will admit
they have done good in this way, but why
the seeresy of the preparation of the
work !?
We are curious about that goat, but
we do not think our curiosity would in
duce ms to try the experiment of that
one daring woman, who. after being for
hidden. opened the door where the won
derful animal was concealed, when 10,
woman and goat went sailing down stairs
headlong to the street, The goat must
be very old by this date, or perhaps It's
like the tabled Phenix-from the ashes
of the old comes new one.
But, candidly. we think the light
should be put in candlestick and not
under bushel, that all should know of
the good deeds, and profit by them. If
the world is full of vice, surely we need
all the assistance possible to help stare
it ont of counteance. Secrecy alone has
not made them superior to other societies.
for we know the good and bad walk to-
gether as Brethren The only cause
We can assign is that men "love darkness
rather than light" We will not be SO
wicked as to finish the sentence.

EUREKA.
DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
A Bank Messenger Robbed on Broadway.

A Bank Messenger Robbed on Broadway.
New YORK, Jan. 2I.
The highwaymen of this city ply their
nefarious business on the most crowded
thoroughfares during the busiest hours
of the day in way that shows most con
clusively that they have little or no fear
of the police, who are supposed to guard
the persons and property of the honest
folk who perambulate the streets.
Mr.. John Rossell. the messenger of
the Metropolitan National Bank, was
walking down Broadway yesterday, at
about two o'clock in the afternoon He
had visited the Central, the Shoe and
Leather, the Chemical and the Mer-
chants Banks, and had received s23,-
100 80 in gold certificates, which he had
placed in his wallet with other papers,
checks and DARTS valued at over $50 600
The book was placed in an inner pocket
OF his coat.
Mr.. Rossell mingled in the crowd that
thronged Broadway, and walked down
along until he approached Murray street.
where a crowd which had gathered
around some workmen digging the foun-
dations of a new building obstructed the
sidewalk In the confusion Mr.. Rossell
was pushed along with the crowd around
him, when suddenly large man stepped
in front of him.
Some pungcnt substance. like ammo
MIA, was thrown in his eyes, and while
utterly bewildered and blinded he felt
some one seizing him by the coat and
snatching the wallet from his pocket.
The rufian then ran away and disap-
peared. 1t all was done so quickly that
no defense was possible, and some con
federate must have aided the robber, as
the crowd did not know what was doing
until after it occurred.

SOME days ago, when Rev. DR.. De
sola, leading clergyman of the Jewish
persuasion, opened the Uuited House of
Representatives with prayer, it was claim
ed that it was the first instance in which
that ceremony had been performed by a
Hebrew. This statement is erroneous.
Rev. DIR Raphael, of New York, opened
the House with prayer, after contest of
eight weeks for Speaker, which resulted
in the election of Mr.. Banks. of Mass,
in 1856; and the Rev. DIR J. NJ. Wise, of
Cincinnati, Rev. DR.. Jastrow, of Phla-
delphia, and DR.. Lilienthal, Of Ohio,
have all officiated at different periods in
the same ceremony.-Er.

Number Of the Different Grades Of Thieves
in New York.

1t is estimated that at least six thou
sand persons-men, women, and large
number of children - get their living
by thieving in the city of New York.
By their recognized profession. it has
i. grades, ranging from the expert
burglar, whose operations are con-
fined to bank vaults, plundering Of plate.
silks, and other valuables, down to the
petty sneak thief, who watches his chance
to plunder the hat rack in some hall or
steal an overcoat from some hotel or res
taurant. The bond robbers are small in
number, being confined to select class
of experts. who rank at the head of their
profession and keep aloof from the com
panionship of their brothers of the lower
grades. They are well known by the
detective force. owing to the small num-
ber; so bond robbery can be easily
traced. The pickpockets average from
three to five hundred. They generally
frequent the city passenger railway and
omnibus lines, and do profitable busi-
ness plying their vocation to the best
advantage between the hours of four
and six o'clock in the afternoon, when
the full tide of travel is up townward.-

factions at New Orleans would bring
about bloody state of aflirs in that city
on last Friday. The President ordered
Col. Emory commanding the department

ness to quell any warike demonstrations
that the parties might make. That order
settled the warik appearance of the par
ties a Congressional Committee gives
them to understand the matter.

DESTROYING BuffalOeS.

A Correspondent of Forney's Press, is
on the plains with military expedition,
tells how the e1pidition tried to destroy
herd of buffaloes, 50 that the Indians
should not live ON them.
The buffalo had made their appear
ance in immense herds. and General
Sherman sent letter to Gen. Bradley sta
ting inasmuch as the buffaloes were the
commissary of the savages, the troops
should kill all the buffaloes near their camp
This message caused good deal of
amusement among the old officers, and
one of them who made neat calculation
ascertained it would take the whole army
of the United States one year to hunt
and kill the buffalo then grazing between
our camp and Fort Hayes. distance of
one hundred and fifty miles. The COL
umns of herds were ten miles wide and
one hundred and forty miles long Many
single droves of the burly animals con-
tanned five thousand head, and there
were hundreds of droves of one and two
thousand. General Sheridan put the
number between Fort Hayes and the Re-
publican at three hundred thousand head,
and it was thought this estimate was not
by any means too large. Nevertheless,
in order to make some show of comply
ing with General Shernans order. Gen
eral Bradley ordered out one company of
cavalry and one of infantry to kill buffalo.
They marched one whole day through
the herds and encamped for the night.
The slaughter was to commence in the
morning, and the buffaloes were to be
driven toward the camp on Thickwood
At sunrise the great hunt began The
infantry advanced in wagons around a
great herd, and took up their position in
front of them, under cover of a ravine
Then the cavalry charged and drove the
herd upon the Infantry 1t was thought
the soldiers could easily check the ad-
vance of the herd with their breech load
ers, but az the vast macs began to move
those in the rear pushed the head of the
column onward, and the position of the
company soon became one of real danger.
The guns thundered as if in real battle,
and a cloud of smoke covered the field
where the infantrymen were now fighting
for their lives. Captain Ball, who COM
manded the cavalry, seeing the danger
his comrades were in, drew off his men
and by a well-executed movement at
tack the buffaloes in the flank and near
the head of their column. The mannu-
vre was successful, the long line of ami
mails bowling out like half moon, and
uncovering the position of the infantry.
The captain of the infantry company at
once retreatcd to high ground, and it is
needless to say he never attempted again
to stop or turn herd of buffalo.
The firing continued all day. and a
scout, who, next morning, followed over
the trail of the hunt, counted the carcass
es of one hundred and forty dead buffa-
loes. The ground was covered with
trails of blood, leading into the hills, and
he estimated at least two hundred more
animals would die of their wounds.
