was more frightened yesterday than ever
before in his life. The pipe leading from
the water-works into the river, put down
last fab, settled few days ago and one
Of the joints opened. Quinn was EN-
ployed to make repairs, and he took his
apparatus and attendants and went down
yesterday morning. A great many cords
of stone have been piled on the pipe to
hold it down, and his work was near the
outer end of the pipe. The water was
very clear, and as he landed on the bot
tom he noticed some object leaning up
against the stones. but supposed it to be
a log and went to work. The crevices in
wedges and the diver was about half an
hour getting to work with the hammer.
He was working away when a schooner 8
yawl, pulling three oars and kicking up a
swell, passed near him. He felt the
swell somewhat after time, and was
Strengthening up after pounding away
when something struck his head and he
felt himself embraced. He had no
thought of corpse, and when hs looked
up and found one right before him. with
one arm over his air pipe. he cried out
In alarm and move back. The corpse,
that of a man, moved after him. and
Quinn stumbled backwards over ths pipe
and went fiat down. with the horrid form
on top of him. Those above felt that he
was moving and gave him more line and
pipe. He pushed at the body and clear
ed himself of it, but as he regained his
feet it came down on him and one of the
legs rubbed across his shoulders. The
diver did not wish to take hold of the
object, but he was forced 20, and he pull
ed it about for several minutes befor he
could clear his pipe. He pushed it by
the legs back to the stone pile, and would
have made his line fast and sent it up,
but the swell ~ashed it from his grasp.
and the men above. mistaking his signal,
drew him up. He went down again and
made a long search for the body, but it
had foated away. Owing to his fright
at first, and his nervousness afterward.
the diver saw but little which might
identify the body. He is sure that there
was gold RUG on one of the fingers, and
that the man had on light boots, as he
had his hands on them. The body was
below all the inlet pipes when first dis
covered, and was either standing or
sitting against the stones. as one would
stand or sit to rest While the diver ad-
mits the fact of being frightened. he says
it was because he had no idea of finding
such visitor down there. The repairs
to the pipe were completed. and Quinn
sent word along the dock that the body
might be watched for.

MARRIAGE MAXIMS.

The following marriage maxims are

happiness on earth is the cultivation on
both sides of absolute unsel6shness.
Never talk at one another, either alone
or in company.
Never both get angry at once.
Never speak loud to one another, I'M
less the house is on fire.
Let each one try to yield oftenest to
the wishes of the other.
Never find fault, unless it is perfectly
certain that fault has been committed,
and always speak lovingly.
Never taunt with past mistake.

Never make remark at the expense
of another it is meanness.
Never part tor a day without loving
words to think of during absence.

and asked forgiveness.
Never forget the happiness of early
love. 4.
Never sigh over what might have been,
but make the best of what is.
Never forget that marriage is ordain.

share Of this money Ia legally levied; every
man contributing, not only TO educate his
poorer neighbor, but TO support the entire body
of convicts, dead weight on the body poll
tic. Neither is it true that the rich man in
America is, as rule, niggardly in his
weekday charities or church doles. In
no country does the tthing paid to benevo-
lent purposes rate so high as here. Money
comes to the American easily, in dollars, not
in greats or maravedis, and it goes as easily.
He likes "a soon as he can afford 1T to see MS
church rich in carved stone, as well as MS
house. He decks the altar, as his wife, IN
velvet and embroidery. If all the money spent
on tho palace prisons Of the States and on the
city churches could be collected, it would put
a Bible in the hands Of every man from
Alaska to Florida and send missionary to
teach him its meaning. The real difficulty is
not that the money is not given, but That IL
goes into walls instead of Bibles, carvings IN
stead of teachers. They ask for bread and We
give them literally stones.
Another and more fatal error is made by the
very clergymen who deDlore the inequality be-
tween the apparently safe and unsafe classes
or, as they phrase it, the repentant ana unre-
pentant. The ordinary tenor OF most appeals
from the pulpit consists in assailng each man
in the first class on the subject OF his individual
salvation and in 80 far as his duty toward MS
unfortunate brother is concerned, in urging him
to give money to this or that charity, to send
out missionaries, and build churches. The
rich man leans comfortably back on his own
integrity, tolerably confident that if ICON
"staut tapping of his pockets" does
not exactly keep the devil from HIM
self. il ia all he needs to do to drive him
from his neigbbor. He leaves the teaching
of truth to the paid preacher. Yet he knows
it is as much his duty, as much the business
of the lawyer who sits in the front pew and
the blacksmith in the back, to preach the
gospel as of the priest in robe or alb behind the
reading desk In fact, some other professions
afford better opportunities; the editor, the
physician, the teacher, have previous vantage
ground which the clergyman seldom gains.
We do not mean-cOmmOn sense forbid that
we shOuld-that each man should take to
lecturing or any sort of didactic jOb-work.
The most effective preachers of Gods truth
we have known seldom utter His name. But
all of us have some means of helping our
brother to lead manlier life, to find his true
place among his fellow men, and to under
stand the words left for him long ago 10y that
Elder Brother who has gone before. 1t is
this sort of tapping, in brain and heart and
hourly life, which is needed from the Chris
tan world, and in comparison with this the
work of the pocket is a small matter.

killing of Mr. Embury several years ago near
Fishkill, and the assassination OF Diodati on
the outskirts of Brooklyn. We have not at
hand while we write the police statistics of
the past twelve months; but we find that q
very few years ago. when our system was
about the same that it is now, about one
half the perpetrators of uDmistakable homi-
cides were not arrested and about four fifths
were not convicted.
The conclusion from this is first that our
detective system is wretchedly inefficient. and
secondly that the discovery of secret crime is
quite az much the fruit of accident AZ of
diligence. Unless the murderer has left be-
hind him in the hurry of his flight some tell
tale implement, or has been seen by some
chance passer, or has betrayed himself. as
criminals are providentially apt to do by some
extraordinary carelessness, the chances are
that murder will not out, until that last day
when all the hidden sins of the world shall be

increase of crimes of violence. We shall do

THE BROOKLPN MURDER.

What a lesson it is on the old, sckening
theme of capital punishment that just when
Foster was dragging out his last miserable
hours in heart-curdling terror of that final
scene which was to fill the evil dOer with sal
utary fear, q respectable citizen of Brooklyn
was murdered in his own house, under cir
cumstances apparently of great boldness, if
not of great atrocity. The supposition that
Mr.. Goodrich may have taken his own life is
now generally abandoned. No man, after
shooting himself MORALLY behind one ear,
could have changed his pistol to the other
hand and shot himself MORALLY again behind
the other ear, to say nothing Of third NOR
tai wound which appears to have been fred
from the front Neither could he, after re-
ceiving any one of these wounds, have washed
and dried his face, and hung up the bloody
cloth over the sink. The absence of his watch
and purse would alone be strong cOntirma-
ton of the theory of murder if it could be
proved that he had them about his person
when he last entered the house but of this,
though it seems to be taken for granted, there
is thus far no evidence.
The sudden taking off Of a man who is not
known to have had any enemies, and in a
burglar on account of its isolation, could
hardly have offered the promise of much plum
der, is naturally invested with very peculiar
interest But such mysteries are by no means
uncommon. The famous Burdell case is an
illustration of the failure of our police system
not only to track the footprints of q criminal
who has once got away from the scene of his
crime, but even to discover the motives of an
assassination which at first glance seemed not
difficult to uDriddle. DR.. Burdell was well
known citizen. He was killed in his own
house IN a frequented street not stones
throw off Broadway. His body was found o
few hours afterwards. Many persons-perhaps
we should say most persOns-had their theory
of the murder; but the police failed actually
to discover why he was killed or who killed
him. Mr.. Nathan was assassinated in a some
what similar way, in his own room, in a busy
street and though the strange character of
the instrument with which he was slain seemed
to offer a clue to the assassin, that crime too
remains an unprecedented and probably hope
less mystery. man in Massachusetts, has
recently confessed to the killing of six or
seven children at different periods of his life.
In one instance-we mean after the murder of
the two Joyce children-the whole community
seemed to be in pursuit of him; but he prob
ably would never have been detected but for
his voluntary avowals. Some years ago a
young girl was found murdered in her bed
room in New-Orleans. Tell-tale footmarks
showed that a woman had scaled fence and
entered by the window. A handkerchief
marked with initials was found on the floor
There the police were utterly at fault, and to
this day the mystery remains unsoved

THE NEW-HAVEN POSTMASTER.

The Administration organs which represent
that THE TRIBUNE has found fault with the
reappointment OF Mr.. n. ID. Spery as POstmas-
ter at New-H Haven, Conn, are well aware OF
course that they are not telling the truth.
The TRIBUNE simply called attention to the
fact that in consequence of Mr.. Sperry's de-
feat of Gen Hawley last Summer and his re-
fusal to be bound by the party's action in
caucus and convention, there was an effort IN
progress by some of the Generals friends to
Dust Sperry from his office and destroy his
power for mischief. but that the appointment
had been made notwithstanding. The TRIB-
UNE found no fault with the appointment,
which we presume on the score of qualiiica-
tons and fitness is as good as the average.
The significant feature of it was that the
movement against Sperry had failed, and the
fact was established that Federal officer could
organize a successful bolt in the ranks of the
party and continue in Office and Ill the conn
dence of the Administration.
But the organs are talking nonsense. The
stuff about the appointment being made under
the new rules of the Civil Service is ridcu-
lous, and they know it. Had President Grant
been as friendly to Gen. Hawley as he is to
Service rules or any other consideration would
have operated to keep in office the man who
defeated him. The simple truth is that Cen.
Hawley is not President Grants kind of a
man. He does not like him. And Postmaster
Sperry committed no great Offense In the
Presidents sight when he plotted against Haw-
lev and defeated him after he had been regu-
larry nominated. Had there been no instances
of variation from what are called by pleas
ing fiction the rules of the Reformed Civil
Service the case might be different; but it is
notorious that, with all the blowing OF trum-
nets over tho business, there have not been
half dozen appointments of this class under
them in the country. In a number of cases,
indeed, it has been pretty much confessed that
marty considerations were the only ones that
weighed with the appointing power, and all
rules were disregarded in order to reward a
friend or punish an opponent.
The significance Of this appointment we say
then is in this fact, that Gen. Hawley repre-
sents to-day to the people of the United States,
as well, perhaps, as any man in public life, the
high regard for official integrity and purity.
and the profound disgust for dishonesty, trick
cry, and sharpness felt Everywhere by the
honest masses; and that President Grant de-
liberately faunts in the face of the people of
Connecticut, on the eve of their State election,
his official Endorsement of the man who has
used, and continues to use, all the influence
and power of his Office to defeat Gen. Hawley
for whatever Office he is named. That's all
there is to it, And the organs that talk about
its being Civil Service Reform are either fool
ish or false,

TAPPING FOR THE LORD.n

Our Methodist brethren, in a recent confer
ence in New-Jersey, set forth in unmeasured
terms of reprobation the unwillingness of the
rich to give. either for benevolent or religious
purposes Lack of money, we should be led
to infer from their Statements. was the cause
of the weakness Of all the great reformatory
movements in the country. The appeal was
worded not so much on behalf of the recipients
of charity and religious instruction as of those
who should give it, one brother enforcing his
remarks by the assertion that ga man needed
a" constant tapping for the Lord, or the devil
would get him."
Now, in the first place, no mistake could be
greater than to say that the amount of money
contributed for the relief aud uplifting of the
poorer or dangerous classes, and for the dis
semination of gospel truth, is inadequate. Our
Jealous fricnds must remember that large
