SIN ITS OWN DETECTIVE,

We are having constantly presented to
us never ending panorama of sin, passion,
crime, and their results and punishmcnts.
One tragedy after another continually
startles us, and we know not what the
future may have in store. Neither can we
tell, what dark mystery of the past is yet
to be unraveled and its dark recesses laid
bare for our instruction, guidance or warn
ing. Some four months ago, the body of a
murdered man was found, by his brother,
in the basement of Il house, situated in one
of the most fashionable streets in Brooklyn.
The only apparent clue to the pcrpetrator
was letter, which might or might not
have been written by the guilty party. The
letter was signed only with initials, and the
handwriting, person and appearance of the
writer was unknown to the police, or to
the friends of Charles Goodrich. Time
passed on and, at last, the BROTHER who
had given direction to the investigation,
gave up all hopes of its solution desired
the inquest closed, and embarked for
OHC WCCh atso, thC iiuu
almost passed from the public mind as a
twice told tale, SO many new and fresh
tragedies had interviewed to distrast the at
tention and occupy the thoughts of the
people. The writer of the letter-the muir
deress as she proves to be-had, all the
time, continued in New York and Brook
Ign, frequenting the public thoroughfares
as usual, without attempt at concealment
or disguise, and was only arrested by one of
those strange happenings, which we call
chance. The whole story of the crime, the
pursuit and arrest have been, from time to
time, laid before our readers, and we call
attention to them here for the simple pur-
pose of impressing upon all, the almost alb
solute certainty of the warning that they
may be sure their sins will find them out.
There have been too many sermons
preached, and too many essays written,
upon this theme TO make enlargement there
on necessary. The sin, crime and passion
of Goodrich consigned him to CHASTITY
grave without a moment of warning, or a
second for repentance or prayer for mercy.
The victim and companion of his sin and
passion added crime TO crime, and will ex.
plate her last deed on the scaffold. There
seems to have been providence guiding
every step that has been taken, from thu
hour OF the commission of the crime until
the last arrest. The care taken of the body
destroyed the theory of suicide which
otherwise, would have been accepted thu
recognition and arrest were outside of ordi
nary experience and finally, the singular
faulty, if you will, by which the irefragiblt
proofs of the crime and criminal were pre-
served by the criminal herself. These can
not oil be ascribed to mere chance, "mur
der will out" and We may be sure that oul
sins viii find us out,

their friendship Is real What we do fear is,
that these men may so far succeed, that

A THIRD TENN

THIRD TERMl
1t may seem early--it is early-to en-
deavOr to shape the next presidential cam
paign, give direction to issueS to be involved
in the contest, or say, with certainty, who
will or will not be, the next President of the
United States. Full three years will elapse
before nominating conventions will con-
vene, and four months more before the de-
cisive ballot will be taken. Nothing can
be more true, or can be so replete with
sound politica! instruction as the old, trite
and thrcadbare aphorism, that we cannot
tell what a day or an hour may bring FORTH
In country like ours, new questions are
constantly springing up which must I've
considered and determined-and that by
party action. This has always been so,
and in our present condition, with politi-
cal and theoretical agreement upon all
questions which have heretofore divided
the country, these new questions will be
the more frequently springing up. The
republican party has had great mission to
fulfill, and has done it nobly and well, and
retained, to remarkable degree, through
prosperity and adversely, the confidence of
the country We do not believe that their
actuating principles will ever cease to be
recognized and acted upon in the practical
administration of the government. These
principles had their foundation In the de.
claration of independence, were and are
ankoIiaI in thn uotitufinn nf tha TruitaI
States and are deep seated in the hearts of
the people. So long rs truth, justice,
equity, liberty and equality prevail, so long
will these principles determine the policy
of and govern the country.
If the republican party is slaughtered, ii
will be in the house of its friends. If the
counsels of certain professed- we
doubt not actual-republican shall be per-
mitted to gain the ascendancy, then the
party is irretrevably doomed. If the pol.
icy of some over jealous, but i'll advised.
friends and admirers of Gen. Grant shall
prevail, 1t may be certainly predicted that
will have passed away forever. 1t is pro.
posed by these jealous men, in good faith
to bring General Grant forward as candi
date for a third term. A more suicidal pol
icy for the party, or the reputation of the
President even, could not, in our judgment
Ike inaugnrated. The people-who are thu
sovereigns-are in no temper for such &
course, for they see its obvious tendency
1t is no argument in its favor, to say thai
it is constitutional, because the same argu'
ment might re-elect man for lifetime
and our free republican government would
become centralized despotism, as France
is. There has been two occasions, and on
ly two, in our history, when Presiden
might have been elected for third term
the one In the case of Washington, and thu
other that of General Jackson. Both o.
these wise, far-seeing, patriotic men, how
ever, saw the inevitable tendency of such
procedure, and took themselves out of tn,
way. Let us hope that General Grant maj
display q similar wisdom and patriotism

The MONEY MARKET The banks in
the city report that their customers are now
asking for more money than they can sup
ply and plenty of good paper is in market
at seven per cent. The note dealers say
that paper Is offered more freely, and that
wool dealers are wantingm money for advan-
ces on consignments. The wool interest
is always the first in the market, but this
year the demand has not been at all press
ing, owing to the high prices at which that
staple has been held at the West 1t is
said that it is reasonable to expect that as
the wool demand closes, money will be
wanted for Western and Southwestern pro
auctions in cured pork and that the money
demand will remain active.

IL does not make much difference how
economy is secured in the management OF
governmental affairs, if we only secure it.,
and do 1t honorably. Upon comparison
of rates, the treasury department has found
that they can transmit blanks, supplies,

cost of mail transportation, and will, there

GOODRICH MURDER.
Further Particulars.
THE MURDEREss DESIRES SUICIDE.

A reporter was informed that Kate Stod-
dard had attempted to commit suicide. He
went to the police authorities, but they de-
MED any knowledge of the matter. Coro-
ner Whitehill, however, said, ''she has not
attempted suicide, but there is no doubt
she would if an opportunity presented.
She has begged and prayed ever since she
has been satisfied that her guilt was proven
to be let alone. There is woman with
her all the time, and on repeated occasions
she has made this request, urging it with
tears in her eyes. ''Let me be alone, if
only for few minutes, for Gods sake"
she said, and asked the woman in charge
to take pity on her. This is at the second
precinct station house in the captains
room, where she is confined. She will not
be left alone, female attendant watching
over her day and night.
HER HISTORY.
There are some features in the woman's
history and her department that seem to
justify the belief already prevalent in GER
tain quarters that she is insane The daugh-
ter of the lady at whose house Kate Stod-
dard resided stated that she came there in
the second or third week in April She
said she was employed in New York and
wished furnished room. She used to go
to work every morning, and came back at
evening regularly for the first month or so,
until three weeks ago, when she did her
work at home and took it over in parcels
when finished. She never had a friend
call or received letter. We never saw
her associate with any one. She spoke of
her relations, but her story was false, as
we have learned since, She said her father
lived at Trenton, N. j., and that her moth
err was dead. She said too that she intend
ed to visit him on tho 4th of July, and we
expected her to go, but she didn't.
She used to bring her meals to her rooms
and eat there. Some bread, pickles, etc.,
were found by the police Thursday Some
times, however, when she came down for
hot water or anything, we would ask her
to eat with us, which she did. / should
judge she was from 20 to 2S years of age.
She is slim and thin featured, has light
hair and is perfect lady in her manners.
She has evidently been brought up in good
circumstances from her speech and deport-
ment, My mother often told me she
thought Miss Waltham had something on
her mind that she had seen trouble, but
she miss Waltham) never told mother or
! myself anything of the sort. She was

LOOKS OF LITERARY WoMEN-Very intel
lectual women are seldom beautiful; their
features, and especially their foreheads, are
more or less masculine. But there are ex-
ceptions to all rules, and Miss Landon was an
exception to this one. She was exceedingly
feminine and pretty. Mrs. Stanton, is like
wise, handsome women, but Mrs. Anthony
and Mrs. Livermore are both plain. Maria
and Jane Porter were women Of high brows
and irregular features as was also Miss
Sedgewick. Anna Dickinson has strong,
masculine face; Kate Field has a cookbook
ing though by no means pretty one, and Mrs.
Stowe is thought positively homely. Alice
and Phoebe Cary we're both plain featured.
though their sweetness of disposition added
greatly to their personal appearance. Mar
garet Fuller had splendid head, but her
features we're irregular and she was anything
but handsome, though sometimes in the glow
of conversation she appeared almost radiant
Charlotte Bronte had wonderously beautiful
dark brown eyes and a perfectly shaped head.
She was small to diminutiveness, and was
as simple in her manner as a child. Julia
Ward Howe is 6ne-looking woman wearing
an aspect of grace and refinement and great
force of character in her face and carriage.
Olive Logan is by no means handsome
in person, though gay and attractive in
Laura Holloway resembles
Charlotte Bronte both in personal appearance
and in sad experience of her young life.
Neither Mary Boothe or Marion Harland can
lay claim to handsome faces, though they
are splendid specimens of cultured women,
while Mary Clemmer Ames is just as pleas
ing in her features as her writings are grace
full and popular. RuraI

and went upstairs as he usually did, to change

him coming down slowly and heavily as II
there were no spirit in him.
"My heart beat strongly. But tried to be
bright and smiling. There was, oh! so drea-
ry look on Johns face as first sawit in the
door. He stood still just a moment with his
eyes fixed on me; then the dreary look faded
out; flash of light passed over it, as he
stepped forward quickly, and coming to where
I sat stopped down and kissed me. Never
before was his kiss so sweet to my lips.

said, softly and tenderly, and with culver in
