Petrifaction of the paad.

About twenty years ago the wife OF a
prominent citizen of Davenport died and
was inferred in the city cemetery. The
casket that held the body was of the heavy
iron pattern that had just been introduced
A few days since the grave was
opened and the casket raised for removal
to Oakdale. A view of the remains was
taken, and what was the establishment of
the friends to find that the face and upper
portion of the body had been turned to
stonel The features were well preserved
forehead, closed eyes and all-the like
ness of the departed being as clear to the
observers as though marble bust of the
body had been executed when she was liv.
ing. Even the pleats of the shroud had
been preserved in stone. The strange ar
fist in the depths Of the grave. and be-
meath the casket lid, executed his comission
faithfully and well. There was evidence
that the casket had been nearly filed with
water at time not far removed The
casket was borne to Oakdale, and given a
new place of interment We believe that
this is the third instance of remains in the
City Cemetery being found in a state OF
petrifcation, after years of interment.-

Protection Pirates.

1t is reported that the protection pirates,
in order that the people of this country
might not see and comprehend the extent
of the high tariff robbery, secured ruling
from the United States authorities that all
European manufacturers, exhibiting goods
at the centennial, should afix prices to
which the tariff had been added. The
Europeans took umbrage at this and
throughout England and the Continent
were forming organizations and pledging
themselves not to exhibit goods at the cen
tennial. As this action would effectually
swamp the show, the high tarifites were
compelled to allow of revocation of thu
ruling, and allow European exhibitors tt
affix the manufacturers prices to thei
goods

Finds that her Brother was Murdered

Finds that her Brother was Murdered
During the past few days one Thomas
Maloy has been on trial at Fairfield,
Iowa, for the murder of John Shea, at
Ottumwa, last fall. Maloy's pal was tried
in the spring, and was sentenced to twenty
years in the penltentiary. Mrs. James De-
lany who lives on Rock Island street ,Daven-
port, has discovered within the past few days
that the man murdered by these Williams
was her brother. She had not heard from
him for nearly year, and commenced in
quiries which brought to her knowledge
the fact that the murdered Shea was the
relative from whom she was so anxious to
hear. And now, nearly year after the
Staying of her brother, the news comes
upon her with oVerpowering effect In his
last letter to her, the Gazette says, he
had promised to make her visit during
the holidays. and she awaited his coming
for months after with jOy-until disap-
pointment and anxiety over his failure to
keep his promise made her almost sick.
She wrote him, but her letters were re-
turned without explanation. And now
she finds that she is brotherless.
Maloy's trial was ended yesterday. He
was found guilty, and will probably be
sentenced to twenty years in the peniten
| tiary.

The First Declaration of Independe

! AS 8 LIEU 1eC4i1dt1Ou O1 independence.
1t seems that it was not at Mechlenburg,
nor at Philadelphia. nor by men,
that the first declaration of independence
came. 1t was from a woman, and in a
letter from Mrs John Adams to her
husband. When the king issued his pro-
clamation for suppressing rebel,
lion and sedition, after the failure Of
the mission of Richard Penn, Mrs. Adams
wrote to Mr.. Adams, in Philadelphia, as
follows
''This intelligence will make plain path
to you, though dangerous one. could
not join to-day in the petitions of oul
worthy pastor for a reconciliation between
our no longer parent state, but tyran
state. and these colonies Let us separate
they are unworthy to be our brethren
Let US renounce them, and instead of sup
plications. as formerly, for their prosperity
and happiness, let US beseech the Almigh
ty to blast their counsels, and to bring tt
naught all their devices"
This was declaration of independence
preceding by months that which Jefferson
wrote.

The Awakening We Need.

In an address by Hon. Charles Francis
Adams. at Amherst College commence
ment,he alluded to the power of a fearless,
independent, untrammeled and conscien-
tous press. He could not have chosen a
better subject GIN no country in the
world is the newspaper SO powerful for good
or evil as in these United States, Every
enlightened statesman, every social stu
dent, moralist, and christian teacher must
recognize the fact of this power and the
necessity Of its righteous use.
Mr.. Adams is not man of fervor-that
is not characteristic of the Adams family
but when in this same address he declar-
ed his conviction that we need in our
country a great revival of religion, bring
ing with it a better public opinion, more
sensitive public conscience, truer sense
of moral obligation, and the impulse of q
higher patriotism, he rose to pitch Of
real eloquence, and carried both sympathy
and conviction along with him. We Dc
need, says the N. Y, Sun, sweeping re
vival, so widespread and feryid that i
shall burn up, as fire burns the parchet
prairie grass, the sordid ambitions, cheal
cynicisms, hypocrisies, and shallow skepti
cisms. political, moral, and religious, which
corruptAmerican society. The worst enem!
that public teacher of sincere conviction
has to deal with in our country, in thes'
days, is the hlunted moral perceptions o
the community. A low morality peryade
our business and social life, degrades ou
politics, blots the sermons Of preachers
and covers the columns Of newspapers will

Grant cannot remove him, and that
he has not resigned; that his letter to
Gen. Grant. asking permission to retain
the Office until the first of July, was not a
resignation at that time; that he can
stick" as well as Stanton did under John
son, and will require the assent of the
senate, which confirmed his nomination, to
remove him. He admits that he is ''sus-
pended" by the order of the president, but
will not consent to be discharged.

We are asked whether tie doctrine
Of everlasting damnation to unrelcated
sinners is preached and sung by Moody
and Sankey. We reply that it is. This
ancient doctrine is held, not only by al
the sects Of orthodox Professionalism, hut
by tue Roman Catholic Church and by
the Greek Church, 1t is accepted, with.
out qualification, BY Moody and Sankey
as a fundamental part Of their iaith.
We understand that they do not make
50 much use oft for the purpose Of alar>
ming sinners, as older reyivalists, like
the Rev. Charles G. Finney and Elder
Knapp, csed to do. We do not suppose
that Mr.. Moody could draw such luril
or horrifying pictures it held and ito tor
mentS as were drawn by these masters Of
internal imagery Yet he brings Jle sub,
jsctinto relief whenever. lie considers it
y
necessary. u 's,, ,
IL must be remembered that Mr..
Moody is not a preacher of thrilling
eloquence, like tie revlyalist George
White6eld, or q man of such ext%raordina-
rytalents as many other pulpit orators,
Protestant and Catholic. In fact, his
logical and imaginative faculties seem to
be slight, and we infer that he is not a
man who can take an audience "of its
feet" by any means. He is plain, earn
est speaker, who reaches the minds of his
hearers III ways which we shall be better
able 10 examine after we have had the
opportunity Of directly examining them.
