The Goodrich Tragedy.

The arrest of Kate Stoddard, alias Amy
Stone, on the charge of being implicated in
the murder of Charles Goodrich of Brook
Ign, was accomplished through the skill of
female detective who has been following
her for weeks. Since the finding of the
body of Charles Goodrich in the basement
of his residence ON De Grow street, by his
brother, the Hon. w. II. Goodrich. three
months and three weeks ago, the police
have bent every energy to find this woman.
A letter from her to the father and
brother of Charles Goodrich was handed
to the police, and what was said to be q
photograph of her was given to them to aid
them in their search. The female detec-
tive had Travelled all over the United States
Every city on the Atlactic coast has been
visited and searched in the hope of meet
ing Kate Stoddard. Baltimore and Phila-
delphia were searched repeatedly, but with
out success. Last Monday, on the return
of several police officers frem Philadelphia
where they parted with the female dctec-
tive, they reported to the Chief of Police,
and were to start out and make final eff
fort Coroner Whitehill, who at the earn
est entreaties of the Police Commissioners
had time and again postponed the inquest,
was told that he could reasonable his jury
and close the investigation. On Tuesday
afternoon the female detective, still conf
dent of success in her search, crossed the
Fulton Ferry. On reaching the Brooklyn
side she struggled through the crowd, and
as she hurriedly lodged the vehicles she
stumbled against woman, who with slow
step was making her way toward the ferry
gate. Recovering herself she glanced at
the person before her and for moment
stood amazed. She had discovered the
woman for whom she had been so long in
search. A police who happened to be near
was called, and the alleged murderess was
taken into custody.
1t is reported that the woman Stoddard
has confessed that she murdered Goodrich
with her own hand while crazed with jeal-
ousy. From statements made at police
headquarters there appears to be no doubt
that her accomplish was the Spanard Ros-
cOe.

The Needs OF the Hour.

Of our national prosperity and advance
ment, we have just reasons TO be proud.
We are indeed far in advance of the past
generations, both mentally and socially.
The acquisitions of science, the develop
ment of inventive genius, place us to-day
foremost among the nations of this or any
other age. And while we rejoice at this,
we reflect that still we lack that there
are great needs yet unsupplied.
We need more of scientific culture. The
present is truly scientific age, and all we
have and all we as people are, we owe to
science. Science is the worlds great mo
tive power, and there is not person of
whatever profession, to whom scientific
education will not ever be invaluable. And
yet how sadly it is neglected.
We need to better understand the laws
of our being. Man, is mans great
est study" and to know ourselves is our
first great duty. We would not expect a
person unacquainted with its structure, to
keep a steam engine in order, and yet the
majority of mankind know as little of the
structure of their own bodies, as they do
of the working of an engine. There are
thousands of wrecks of humanity, lettering
hither and thither, whose lives have been
but misery, that timely knowledge would
have averted.
We need great and noble men; men who
Il, oil al a,,I int lao
riches; who shall be spotless of party and
rings, and who shall not betray the
trust bestowed upon them of the nations
welfare. These are verify times of Sin
vestigating committees" and the results
reveal to us fraud and dishonesty ON every
hand We need men in whose hands we
may place the rein of government, without
fear of treachery or betrayal.
We need pure, earnest, noble young men
in whose keeping we may place the great
destinies of the future
e. To mould and shape,
| The course, of nations yet to be ~
Our young men are our national safe
guards. In them are the hopes of empire
centered, and on them do we depend tc
guide and direct the country in the years
that are to come. We seek then, for pure
and blameless young men, fresh in all the
strength and glory of youth, who shall bt
worthy of the holy trust
And finally the world needs earnest
Christian men and women, who shall e

deem our sin clouded world from the pow
ers of darkness, and plant the sacred stan
dard over all the earth.
Alas ! how many sit in darkness, un
warmed by the benign influence of Chris
tian purity, even within our midst. "Tht
harvest is indeed plenteous, but the labor
ers are few" In the sign of the Cross, lie
us then go bravely forth to conquer:

This, among other causes, rendered the
terrible deed of Frank Walworth of such
painful interest throughout the country.
This, too, renders his prompt arrest, trial,
conviction, sentence, and the execution of
his sentence, so impressive. We remember
of hearing an eminent jurist say, that the
conviction and execution of Professor
Webster, for the murder of Dr. Parkman,
was one of the proudest triumphs of Amer
lean jurisprudence. 1t was ture in that
case, but has been fully paralleled here.
The grandson of one of New York's purest

of American jurisprudence, and all the as

country There could not be more I'M

The dispositions and proclivities of diff
erent men, occupying similar official posi-
tons, are sometimes brought out into clear
er light by contrast, and it then seems i'm
possible to believe that they can both be
men. Take the overseer of the poor, in
neighboring town in this county, who
afforded the paupers, under his charge,
day of recreation and delight, by taking
them to the circus. A censorious, hard
listed economy might have objected to the
item in his account, for the reason that it
was unauthorized and extravagant; but
not a voice or vote was heard or given
against its allowance or payment. We
cross the mountain to Peacham, the birth
place of Thaddeus Stevens, the lover of
man and of humanity, and behold the con-

town farm, has fled to parts unknown

AN UNPLEASANT GuEsT.-A strange GUS
toner met with sad end at Pennington,
Mimi, the other day. An unknown man
came to town and put up at tavern The
tayern-keeper was away in the evening
when the stranger wanted to go to bed.
The stranger asked for a whole candle, as
he wished light in his room all night. A
little son of the landlords went with the
guest to show him his room. Arriving at
the door the man turned on the boy, and,
drawing pistol, said, SECT out of the way
or I'll shoot you" The boy ran, and when
his father returned lie told him what had
happened. The landlord visited the guests
room to demand an explanation. The
door was opened and the guest shot the
landlord through the body, giving him, it
is believed, mortal wound. A constable
was sent for, and he went to the room arm
ed, and demanded surrender. The oc-
cupant of the room was getting reudy to
shoot the officer, when the latter fired, hit
ting the guest in the mouth and killing him
almost instantly. The stranger had no
papers or other means of identification. He
was supposed to be either French or Ger
man, and mad.-Miss0uri Republican.

FROG SToRY.--An Albany man while
fishing in the north woods got lost and
after wandering for two days without food
fonnd living frog in pond. According
to his story he took from his pocket a
match and struck it.; then taking the frog
by the legs he put it over the fame until
the match was burned out, when he sat
down and devoured the frog, which was
done-rare. The reporter in noting down
the story, begged that the gentleman say
three or four matches, as it would look so
much better in print, but the party would
not go another match, maintaining that
that was all he used /; that being all he had.
Reporter then suggested that would 1t not
have been well to have taken the solitary
match, and with it lighted a small fire of
twigs, and so, thoroughly cooked the frog
At this the gentleman's face suddenly

British subject, and Great Britain, in prac-

fess to do. Her subjects, wherever they

low, rich or poor, are entitled to and re-
ceive her powerful protection. She will
not permit one of her citizens, temporarily
sojourning in foreign lands, to be causeless-
Jy arrested and thrown into prison. Such
a procedure is justly considered as na-
tional insult, resented as such, and repara-
ton, explanation and apologies demanded
and exacted. This arrest, moreover, took
place on British soil, and was, therefore, a
double insult. 1t will make no difference
with the action of that government, that
this miserable fellow may have been justly
amenablc to the law, and had absconded
from the United States, leaving sundry

EXIT WALWORTH.

Frank Walworth, Wednesday, dsap-
peared from sight, behind the doors, and
within the walls, of Sing Sing. If the law
is permitted to take its due course, the dis
repu table hero of nine days wonder has
disappeared from sight forever. We are
aware that we are open to criticism, in de-
signaling him as ''hero," as there was
nothing of the heroic in his deed; it par
taking, rather, of the base and cOwardly !;
we mean, by the use, or misuse, of the
term, simply, that he was the central figure
in parricidal tragedy, in which, also,
there was an evident attempt to dignity
him into a real hero. The closing scene
displayed more of manliness, on the part of
Wulworth, than did any other. He recog-
nized, at last, the fact that, like his fellows
on the journey to Sing Sing, he was
criminal, and was entitled to the same, and
no different, treatment FROM the others.
This was illustrated in remark, made by
him to reporter, that he found his CON-
panions in crime and in bonds Every de-
cent sort of fellows" adding, by way of
explanation, that "Of course, fellow feel
ing makes us kind" That he was justly
amenable to the law he, also, seemed to re-
cognize, by saying, in the course of con-
versation in reference to his treatment in
the Tombs, that he was well treated, al
though it was not like being outside, closing
with these words-referring to himself :
'you are q prisoner, and it is just as well to
remember that, and make up your mind to
it," Notwithstanding these occasional
CLEANS of manliness, he kept up his appar-
ent show of bravado and indifference, his
conversation and actions being of the most
fippant and senseless character. The in
sane threat of his murdered father may,
in the end and to him, in an unexpected
way, be realized, namely, that he would cut
of the name of Walworth forever This
name, once so honored and respected
throughout the nation, and In nearly oil of
the civilized states in the world, by reason
of the virtues, talents and integrity of Reu-
ben II. Walworth, Is now enshrouded In

FIGHTING DUEL BLINDFoLDRD.-A
Welshman named Walter Rodney of Mel
bourne, Australia, recently accused Frank
Cole, an American jobber, of stealing his
purse and watch. The accusation was
made at public house, and, after consid-
cradle uncomplimentary language had
passed, Cole knocked him down in the
good old American style, which was SO
common before the murderous revolver
came into general nse. The parties were
separated but Cole demanded further salts

the difficulty at once with pistols. Rodney
accepted the challenge, and bowling ai-
ley having been chosen as most cOnven-
lent field of battle, both parties were blind
folded and placed 10 PAGES distant, with
pistols in their hands. The first fire was
void of result, though each contestant
snatched off the handkerchief, expecting to
see CORY corpse before him. Cole de-
manded another fire, and, the handkerchief
having been replaced, Rodney fired little
advance of the word, and harmlessly. Cole
fired on time and put bullet through
Rodney's lungs, which resulted in his
speedy death. Cole was arrested but will
