On Wednesday, the 26th ult., storm center
was reported on the coast of Oregon. Passing
over Dakotah and Iowa, this storm was marked
by region of very low barOmetric pressure
On Saturday afternoon it was very violent,

that day southeast winds and rain were
raging with unusual and increasing severity
on the ew-England and New-Jersey coasts.
All Sunday the storm center was developing
in New-England into absolutely unprece-
dented proportions. On Monday morning this
storm, with barOmetrc pressure below 2o.e
inches "a record hitherto unparalleled), passed
along the mouth of the St. Lawrence, out
upon the ocean. When 'on Sunday afternoon
the captain of the Atlantic read by his bar

j1lrious,y observes The Chronicle According
to this version of the wreck of the Civil Ser
vice Advisory Board, the President OF the
Board and Gen. Grant could not agree that
the Rules should be altogether a delusion.
The President does not see why man who
has been trying to sample sugar in the Boston
CustOm-house should not sort letters IN an
Essex County Post-0 Office. 1t is all the same to
him whether the appointee of his heart is
chemist in the Philadelphia Mint or civil
engineer in the Interior Department; he is an
official and is as good as any other man when
an office is to be filed "My name is Brown,

This is the proper value to set on the

GOOD FRIDAY.

There is an old story in an old book of a
certain well-tO-dO man who found his income
so secure his house so comfortable, his barns
so well filed, that he began to look upon the
whole affair, both master and possessions, as
the one thing meant to be permanent in this
shifting world. Soul he said, in jovial
humor one night. to the Something out of
sight inside Of his healthy body, costly
clothes, stately dwelling and estate" Soul,
"let us eat, drink, and be merry" This live
creature, at least, he was sure of. Body and
land and houses, being dead matter might
wear out, but that which had earned and
ruled them all would stay. When dawn came,
the old record goes on to state, the morning
sun found fields and fOcks unaltered. There,
too, were the comfortable house and the rich
clothes unchanged. Even the body, which had
served its master so long, was there ready to
do his bidding. But the soul had gone, and
never sent message back to say whittier
"For six thousand years." says Schiller, the
"dead have been going from u.s. and not one
"hath returned to bring US tidings."
Certainly, this well-to-do mau did not belong
to these days. Whatever else our crimes, we
are not indifferent. We all of MS take keen
interest in that unknown country to which
each of must go some day on an inexora-
BILE journey, never to come back, taking with
us nothing that we have needed here. When
we 20 into strange countries now, we can make
place for ourselves with our money or ac-
quaintances; even good clothes are of use.
But what baggage or letters Of credit can We
take with us thereH Even the fair face or bodily
graces which have covered up 80 much of our
real selves must be left behind. To think of the
dreadful nakedness of it! To whom shall we

our lives until an hour-iive minutes before

4 WITNESS FOR CAPTAIN WILLIAMS.

WITNESS FOR CAPTAIN WILLIAMS
Considering how doubtful at the best is the
testimony that depends upon the memory of
witnesses, fact otherwise proved is apt to
bear special weight in a trial. Perhaps the
best instance of this is a case in an Irish court
where there was abundant testimony to a MUIR
der committed in bright moonlight. The counsel
for the prisoner, toward the end of the case,
passed around among the jury an almanac by
which it appeared that there was no moon on
the night of the murder. The prisoner was
acquitted at once. After the trial, his counsel
sent in a bill, of which one item was, "TO
"printing almanac without moon, f50D In
the instance before us there Is, however no
chance of tampering with the almanac. The
evidence comes from our Signal Service
Bureau.
The result could scarcely have been worse
and might have been better if the steamer
Atlantic had pressed on toward New-York
with short supply of coal, and had trusted
to her capacity under sails, such as it was,
rather than attempt To enter harbor
with whose perils the captainuwas only
acquainted by hearsay. Hence the opinion
has been quite commonly expressed that
he did wrong in turning his course toward
Halifax. His judgment IN this has been as

AS we enter upon the Thirty-Third Year OF
the lite of The TRIBUNE, we cannot refrain
from one word of congratulations to our readers
and the public, over the retrospective view
which this date suggests. Enormous changes
have taken place in the political, social, and
industrial organization of the country, with
in this third of century, and in every
one of these THE TRIBUNE has been
actively and constantly employed upon the
side of freedom, justice and intelligence. We
can recall no important measure upon which
we should wish to expunge the record of The
TRIBUNE and no great reform which this
paper has not attended from its birth to It's
final triumph. This consistent history estab-
lished THE TRIBUNE impregnably as the favor
ite newspaper of the best class of
readers in the country; and when its
great founder died, full of years and
honor, more widely beloved and more
sincerely mourned than any public man of the
time, it was found, to the surprise of the un-
thinking, that his work was too well done to
suffer by his departure, and that his journal
had acquired under his hands vigorous life
of its own which no accident could endanger.
It's declaration of a wider independence has
gained that full and immediate appreciation
which we fOresaw, and at this day it is
stronger, more influential, and more prosper
GUS than at any former period Of its existence.
We deviate from our usual practice in
stating these facts, and do so only at the re-
peated request of valued friends and corre-
spOndents. As certain of our contemporaries,
influenced by obvious motives, have endeav-
ored to create a false impression about our
business, we take from our books single
illustration of our continued and increasing
prosperity, drawn from a single branch, and
chosen only because it happens to be the
readiest and most compact. The following is
statement of our cash receipts for advertising
during the last three months, compared with
those of the corresponding months of last year.
This does not include the additional sums for
advertising borne on our current accounts:

1t is notorious at Albany that the fight for
a partisan Charter has been managed by Mr..
Thomas Murphy and his representatives. The
Committee of Seventy urged such reform
as the Republican party at the last
election promised. The best men OF
this city, It's most eminent Republicans
its most trusted citizens of. all parties, agreed
with the Seventy. Mr. Thomas Murphy
opposed them, and the probability even yet
seems to be that the Legislature proposes
--e even after Connecticut to follow
Murphy. We therefore invite atten-
ton, once more, to the record of the
man who is permitted to use the Republican
party in giving the lie to the pledges made at
the last election, and to fasten bad Charter
and new Ring upon us for personal and
party ends. convenient resume of it Is
printed on our second page, and there are
some striking new revelations of the manner
in which street assessments were manipulated
in Mr.. Murphy's favor. See the fac SMILES OF

The injury which has just led TO the claiming a

than ordinary grefs and difficulties to her suitor.
Several times had she named the day, and often
had she changed her little mind. OF course when
