Another Mysterious Murder.

At the very tino Inat coSter Was oA'
piring on the gallows, in New York, there
was discovered across the river, In Brook
lyn, one of the strangcst homicides on
record, as mysterious in its incidents as
the Nathan tragedy, and, like that, we
fear, destined to remain q mystery.
The deceased, Mr.. Charles Goodrich,
had amassed a large fortune in the lumber
business in New York, had expended a
portion oft in erecting block of brown
stone fronts in Brooklyn, had rented most
of them, and taken up his abode in one,
intending to lot his brother and sister
have the house adjoining. On Thursday
morning his brother, a member Of the
New York Legislature, called at the
house and was unable to get in. Re-
pcatiug the call on Friday morning, aud
with the same result, he effected an en-.
trance through the seuttle on the roof.
The house was found in perfect order,
save that the door opening into the dining,
room was sesarely locked. Unsble to
open it, the brother at last got in by way
Of the basement, aud discovered the life.
less body of Mr.. Goodrich, stretched on
its back on the floor, with seven-shoOter
of which three chambers we're cmpty,
close by his right hand.
The position of the body Immediately
suggeste / suicide, but further d,sc overies
as strongly opposed it. The dead mans
watch and pocket>book we're gone. Over
his left eye was cut as with a sharp in
strumcnt. while there was no blood upon
the face-the latter, together with the
Eair' giving evidence Of having been lately
washed. A wet cloth bearing traces Of
blood, was found hanging to a nail in the
room. A pane Of glass in one Of the
kitchen windows was broken. suggesting
an attempt at entrance, and below it were
found an open penknife, and pocket
map Of the Western States, with name
written on one of the pag's. A medical
examination discovered three pistol>balls
buried in the bialn Of the deceased, tive
of the holes being on exactly opposite sides
Of the head. A cory of Thursday eve.
ming paper, saturated with water, was
found in the room with the body, estab,
fishing the fa.t that. the deceased had
been alive as late as that date.
The perfect order Of the house, the po
sition of the body, the blundering manner
in which the windoS>pane had been bro,
ken, were strongly suggestive cf suicide

hand, the absence of the watch and pock-
et-book, the carefully washed face the
pocket-map beneath the window, and the
almost impossibility of mau firing three
pistol.balls into his own brain from diff.
ferent sides of bis head, are a strong ev>
idcncc of murder with desire to make ii
appear suicide.
We have given this full description as
the case is likely to attract a good deal
of public attention. If it be murder, q,
it doubtless is, it is a powerful common
tary upon the effect which a man dying
upon the gallows may have upon other
crimitals. ga

toners, tecausc the wcmen understand
the mode of retail purchasing much bet
ter. 1t is common remark that ladies
like shopping" and mcu detest it.
Probably this il true enough, aud the roa-
son is obvious. Women understand how
to shop" and men do not The lady
who goes oft to boy gsastslly knows
what she wants, and is not task, but
pleasure for her to search until she finds
it, She understands the relative position
of buyer and seller If the one wishes to
buy the other wishes to sell, and the ac-
commodatisn afforded is mutual. There
is no favor conferred on the one side or
the other. The motive in both cases is
interest. But, though selfish, it does not
necessarily lead to anything impolite or
ungraeious. On the contrary, it is the
refinement of scl6shness to make yourself
agreeable. BY so doing the person with
whom you are dealing is, for his own
selfish purpos s, made to hatter your self
love. Interest is at the bottom of all
traffic, bit Ii d fair trade both parties
make profit. One buys for his own
advantage, and the other sells from the
same motive, aud if there be no dishoI.
esty IN the transaction, both are the
gamers.
The higher morals of trade everybody
understands-in theory at least and no
one need expect to be the richer, in the
long run, by airy course but honesty. The
manners Of trade are not no clearly re,
cognized. While subservience and cring-
ing for custom are un- American aud justly
to be despised,. the other extreme, Of
rudeness, or the slmost as bad appear

meeting, or Of friendship, is to put all

terrible than the loss, even partial, of mu

lose his all. In one sense, indeed, every

THE FARMERS DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE.

The farmers Of Illinois are going to have
a Fourth of July of their own this year.
They have decided to set apart the day for
a free discussion of the evils which Cypress
them-reading, in the place Of Mr.. Jetfer-
sons document, o new Declaration Ct indie
pendence which their Executive Committee
las lust issued. The new Declaration re-
cites at length the abuses Of the railroad
monopolies, and concludes in this way:
awe, therefore, the producers of this State,
in our several counties assembled, on this
anniversary of that day that gave birth to
nation of freemen, and to a government of
which, despite the corruption of its officers,
we are still so justly proud, appealing % the
Supreme Judge Of the world for the recti-
tude of our Intentions, do solemnly declare
that we will use all lawful and peaceable
means to free ourselves from the tyranny of
monopoly, and that we will never cease our
efforts for reform until every department Of
our Government gives token tnat the reign
oflicentious extravaganee is over, and some
thing of the purity, honesty, and frugality
with which our fathers inaGgurated it has
taken place, That to this end we declare
ourselves ahso. utely free and independent Of
all past political connections, and that we
shall give ourSsuffrage only to such men for
Office, from the lowest officer in the State to
the President of the United States, a. we
have good reason to believe will use their
best endeaVOrs to the promotion # these
ends; and for the support OF this Deolara-
ton, with firm reliance in Divine Provi-
dence, we mutually pledge to each other our
lives, our f1rtunes, and our sacred honor"

SIMMER PLAY,

Nothing can be more cruel and nothing
more foolish than to place children where
they must be dressed every day in fresh
and fashionable clothes, and their freedom
to play curtailed for the sake Of appearances.
What childhood needs ia perfect freedom
among the thing Of Na,ure--freedom to
romp, 10 make mud-pies, to leap fences, to
row, to fish, to Climb trees, to chase but
terties, to gather wild flowers, to live out
of d Ors from morning till night, an
to do all those things that iunocent and
healthy childhood delights in-in cheap,
strong clothes provided for the purpose.
Exactly that which childhood needs, man
hood and womanhood need-perfect liberty
and perfect carelessness. So, when the
dweller by the sea goes inland for lis sum-
mer play, or the reside ut of the inland city
goes to the sea, he should seek some spot I'M
visited by those devoted to fashionable dis
play, and employ his time In unrestricted
communion with Nature, and in those pur-
suits and amusemeuts which, without let
or hindrance, perform the Office of recrea-
for july.
