of the prosecutor and has never been seen
since. One of the accused (Ncttleshlp) was
allowed to abscond. Colby, the Government

documentary evidence in his pocket. Solicitor

The statistics Of emigration certainly do not show
that the natives Of Great Britain feel any frantic
sort of alteration for her. During the past sixty
years she has seen population of exactly 7S7.S97
depart to other lands. In 1873 alone the number Of
emigrants was 3lO.Gl2. The greater part of these
people came to this country, while the rest tried

The pulpit homilies of Thanksgiving Day
are usually superior to the weekly average,
and those of yesterday were no exception to
this rule. Mr. Beechers sermon on the growth
of intelligence and moral sense, reviewing in
tellectual progress in its relations to CHRIS
tianity and that of the Rev. Father Mernck
on the supremacy of conscience over CIVIL
authority, discussing the questions recently
raised by Mr.. Gladstone, may be regarded IN
some measure as representative utterances
from the two great divisions of Christian
faith.

by want of food, by cruelty of officers, or by
too hard labor being required. The Inspector
General thinks that the evil can best be cor

serviceable as the fear of punishment in i'm

At the present rate of destruction many
years will not pass before the buffalo will be
exterminated at the West The weapons OF
civilization are doing rapid work, and long
before the Plains are needed by the settler
they Will fail as hunting grounds to supply
food to the savage. We publish to-day a
letter from Kansas describing the trade in
the horns, hide, and meat of the buffalo 4; the
slaughter as now carried on being abundant
and wasteful, the meat being little valued,
many of the hides being poorly dressed, and
the bulk of the bones serving only for
manure. The whole subject is one deserving
consideration from some of our eminent
naturalists, who are best capable of offering
an opinion as to whether anything can or
should be done by legislation to prevent the
present destructive system.

Householders and manufacturers are so deeply
interested in the rising prices of coal that the
discussion of the subject, both sides beng
fairly represented, in the letter from Pnia-
delphia on our third page, is exceedingly
timely. At a time when nearly all industries
are depressed, and when economy in the
household has become general necessity, the
high price of fuel adds to the gravity OF the
situation. Cheap coal would give greater
quicker, and moro permanent relief to the
business interests of the country than the
most unlimited issue of greenbacks that india
rubber inAationists ever dreamed about.

After fatal explosion has occurred IN the
work of constructing the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railway tunnel, 1t Is
ascertained that it has been the habit OF the
blacksmths one of whom is blown to pieces,
TO hold the cartridges of giant powder over
the fire for few minutes, before giving
them out. 1t is one of the we'll
known peculiarities of workmen to be-
come Indifferent to the dangers by
which they are surrounded. There is a story
that when Faraday was examining danger
GUS mine where there was fire-damp he was
Mortified by finding that cushion given him
by a miner to sit upon, was bag of powder.

are very fully given by our Philadelphia cor
respondent. Congressman Randall thinks that
the Democrats in the House will enforce
economy. Judge Kelley pins his faith

Col. Mcclure sees that only by wise manage
ment can the Republican party regain their
power. AS the opinions of men who have
seen service in politics, they are deserving of
consideration, as they forecast to some extent
the probable legislation of Congress.

The translations from Italian journals, which
we publish to-day, show why Garibaldi should
refuse to accept pension from the Italian
Government. Besides it is not strange that he
should hesitate TO accept peeuniary support
from his own cOuntrymen, on the ground that
it would have the appearance of compensa-
ton for what should be the patriotic perform
ance of his duty. Anything, however, which
should be presented by Americans might be
accepted by him without reserve, as a volun-
@arv tribute to an heroic character.

SOMETHING NEW.

The following under the head of
Friendly Inn," is taken from the Urbana
(Ohio) Gazette of late date:
"a Friendly Inn is to be opened with
appropriate dedicatory services, at SPRING
field. next Thursday, October 29th. The
Inn is an offering OF the friends of the
Temperance cause in that city to young
men. and it is to be made popular and
attractive resort, being provided with ev-
cry variety of innocent aud harmless
amusements. among other things 1--WE
have heard) billiards and ten-pins.
1--WE know that billiards, and amuse-
ments of that character. are tabOoed by
very many good people, yet we cannot
but think this movement OF the Springfield
Temperance people is in the right direc-
tion 1t is very common thing cry down
there is just the difiiculty-the assoations
people will yet learn that billiards and ten
pins can subserve the interests of moral
ity by proper recognition, and when that
lesson is learned we shall see the dawn
ing of a better day. Young men, espec-
tally those who are thrown upon the
world without home and its attractions,
must have some kind of recreation. and If
they cannot nave it in the society of those
who practice morality they will seek it
somewhere else and they usually find it
where the allurements are but snares for
their entrapment, and they are drawn
into evil habits from which they might be
saved by a little consideration upon the
part of the people who are right at heart
and in purpose, out who verify strain at a
gnat and swallow camel"
