A New Phase or Journalism.

In the hurrying growth of our modern
journalism it takes many shapes. The anx-
iety of the editor to present to the people the
best picture of the world from day to day
leads him to do frequently odd and unusual
things We have read nothing with more
pain than the series of narratives which we
find in the Western papers giving an account
of the life of Robert Dale Owen since his
retirement to an insane asylum, and the
other accounts of the life of Mrs Lincoln,
the wife of the late President, who is now
under restraint because of insanity Mr..
Owen is in the seventy-fourth year of his age.
He has lived long, honorable and useful
life, and, though not without many eccen-
tricities of thought, his is life of one
anxious to benefit his race-a conscientious,
truthful man, amiable, courteous and just
A few weeks since he fell i'll from insanity
and has been secluded in public institution
for the treatment of the insane. Mrs. Lin
coins misfortunes have been known to the
public for many years Ever since the shock
ing death of her husband she has always
seemed to hover upon the verge of insanity
1t was therefore not surprise to the country,
but rather a qualification in some respects,
when it was found necessary to officially
certify to the fact that the blow which
took her husbands life had taken her
own reason. 1t would seem to the ordinary
mind that a man as distinguished as Mr.
Owen, who had held high rank under the
government, and woman as celebrated as
Mrs. Lincoln, with n celebrity almost sacred
when we remember the great man whose life
she shared, would be protected in their sor-
rows from the prurient gaze of the public.
But, on the contrary, we have every few days
narrative of their sayings and doings. We
have elaborate conversations of Mrs Lin
coins about Spiritualism and those strange,
odd fancies which creep into the minds of
persons in this unhappy state. We have Mr..
Ovens hallucination about killing two burg
lars his belief that he is the descendant of
a great Scottish earl, and other evidences of
his wandering mind. The persons who have
charge of Mr.. Owen and Mrs. Lincoln seem
to regard them as spectacles for public news
papers. 1t is a calamity unspeakable and
far-reaching when people of any station of
life, not to speak Of Mr.. Owen and Mrs. Lin
coin, fall under the shadows of so terrible
disease but it is an insult to our humanity
that any truffie-hog, calling himself jour
nalist, should be allowed to publish from
day to day reports of what they may say or
do in their moments of wandering madness.

The New Post once.

1t is rather more than six years since that
little triangular extremity of the City Hall
Park, with its few shade trees and benches
and its fountain, passed out of sight behind q
high board fence, that became filled with the
advertising posters of the period, and now
there stands palace altogether more salts
factory than any Aladdin would have fur
nished us. Aladdin might have been
more economical architect than Mullett, for
it was one of the beauties Of his system that
several universes would not have cost eight
million dollars. He would also have been
more expeditions, and he would have deemed
it a matter of course to have included few
rainbows in his composition, or to have
thrown in their equivalents in some way for
the sake of the urban eye weary with the
collision of stone and dense material gen.
orally; but that the structures of the Oriental
friend of our youth would have been sufi-
ciently substantial to hold up under the
burden of few million tons of mail matter
every year we seriously doubt. Perhaps for
the ordinary structures of plain world the
Mulletts are better architects than the
Aladdins, though they neglect the eye, and
are prosy and plodding in their processes.
Every citizen will rejoice that we have at
last secured so fine an ediice and one that
seems likely to meet SO fully all the require
ments. 1t will always be wonder that we
were so long put off with odds and ends of
edifices and never had decent Post Office
till so late in our history; but it must neces-
sarily be great while before the service will
outgrow the one at last obtained.

THE SHAKERS. The Mount Lebanon
Shakers held the first meeting this season
yesterday, and in another column we present
a very interesting report for the benefit of
'4he worlds people" These poor dupes be-
lieve they have received new dispensation,
and that Jesus Christ has appeared q second
time, in the form of woman. In other
words, Ann Lee seems to be the Christ of the
Shakers. Their peculiar tenets are set out
in the sermon of Elder Evans which we
print, and It's. .acrimony against all the Chris
tian sects cannot fail to be considered re-
marEable outgrowth of asceticism. 1t is not
surprising that society based on such feeble
notions of religion and duty should be dying
out, and Elder Evans discourse is sufficient
proof that there will be no cause to regret
the extinction Of the doctrines Of Ann Lee.

portunity offered, keep away from the street
and place their money in other directions
If we look down the list of stocks and shares
which we report from day to day and which
we have been reporting for months past we
find that they represent rotten, suspicious
gambling interests. People look upon Wall
street as given over to thieves and robbers.
If they continue to withhold their patronage
and avoid purchasing any of 1.-The favorite
stocks, !" in time the business must come to
an end. One thing is certain, when the
Wall street banditti do not find outsiders"
to rob they will retire altogether.

too little credit to abuse, but too much. If the
Ohio infationists drag this topic into their
canvass, let them be put to silence by con-
slant demands to explain how greenback
currency in California would have checked
Mr. Ralston's injudicious speculations or
have saved him from their consequences.
The continued depression of business,
which the recent San Francisco and Balti-
more failures serve to emphasize, will no
doubt operate in favor of the democrats both
in Ohio and elsewhere Prolonged business
stagnation fills the public mind with discon-
tent, and the natural tendency is to wreak 1t
upon the party in power. The democrats
recovered Ohio from the republicans two
years ago because the panic struck the coun-
try in the midst of the canvass. The tidal
wave" last year swelled so high because the
depression of business still continued. The
condition of the country has grown no bet
ter, and the political effect of the hard times
will probably be the same as heretofore. No
real relief can come except through wise
financial policy, and it is to be deplored that
the Ohio democrats, instead of utilizing the
public discomfort to secure vigorous steps
toward a sound currency, are appealing to
popular ignorance and following will-of-
the-wisp which will lead them into bogs and
mire. We are sorry that the Ohio republi-
cans do not see their way to defeat the inda-
ton party without appealing to religious
prejudices and confusing the canvass by
irrelevant issues

Mr.. BEEcHER preached another sermon at
the Twin Mountain House yesterday, in
which he took occasion to answer the OBJ
jections of the world to what the devils dis
ciples call ''the gospel of gush." Faith,
hope and love, these are things the great
pastor tells us the children of the evil
one call "gush. Mr.. Beecher forgets.
"Gush" consists in the manner of treat
ing these qualities or virtues, whichever we
call them, and not in the qualities them
selves. When ''gush" takes the place of
worship and godly living we are inclined to
think that not even Mr.. Beecher would de-
fend it, ready as he is to parry the blows of
the "devils disciples"

BAEz AGAIN HEARD FRoM.-A despatch
from Havana this morning announces an
other attempt at revolution in st. Domingo,
and gives us the further news that the
notorious Baez has been proclaimed Presi-
dent by the revolutionists. In such a case
as this the American people can have only
one wish, and that is that Baez may be
captured and hanged. There can be no
peace for the Dominicans with this man taxi
ing advantage of their ignorance to urge
them on to strife.
The New York herald., 1875-08-30
The Eastern Question.

There seems to be some danger that the
struggle between the Turkish government
and its Christian subjects may extend. A
thousand Servians have crossed the from
tier into Herzegovina. BY the unwise,
forcible occupation of convent near
the Bosnian frontier the Turks have
provoked an outbreak just at one of those
points where every effort should have
been made to preserve the peace. The meet
ing of the Servian Skouptchina is also not
without danger, as it is well known to be
radical in its composition. 1t is, however,
difficult to see what advantage Bosnia could
obtain by breaking off its present relations
with the Porte SO small O territory, sur
rounded by powerful States, can only hope
to enjoy nominal independence and the
liberty enjoyed by Bosnia under its present
relations with the Porte is certainly greater
than would be permitted to it if an Austrian
pfotectorate were to be substituted. In all
probability the great Powers will interfere
to restore peace, or, at least, to prevent the
trouble spreading. Neither Russia nor Aus
tria can Just now desire any interference
with the affairs of Turkey 1t is evident
that the disintegration of that Power ap-
proaches rapidly; but the consequent divi-
sion of the spoils would be so certain to pro-
woke general European war that all saga
cious statesmen desire to stave off the sick
mans last hour as long as possible.

Mn. E. L. DAVENPORT, who is to play
Hamlet at the Grand Opera House this even
ing, writes to the HERALD in excellent temper
In regard TO the singular announcements con-
cerning American art and American artists
which have enanated from that theatre. He
disclaims all intention of degrading his art
by carrying national feeling into dramatic
performance and, with manliness that
does him honor, he speaks with kindness
and courtesy Of Mr. Barry Sullivan, who ap-
pears at Booths Theatre tonight in the same
part which Mr.. Davenport is to interpret
in the rival house.

THE INDIAN FRAUDS continue to employ the
pen of Mr.. William Welsh, and in his letter
10 Professor Marsh, which we print this
morning, he recounts the relations of the
Indian agents and the Protestant Episcopal
Church. The agents. he alleges, were cor
pupted by Washington influence. The letter
is one of the most vigorous and interesting of
Mr. Welsh's series

BLAcKwELL's ISLAND is so often the scene
of brutality and cruelty that we are not sur
prised that two of the keepers are to be ar
rested on a charge of murder. The HERALD
has often exposed the wrongs inflicted on
prisoners by the officials, but it is only the
punishment of the guilty which can prevent
the recurrence of outrages like that in the
Stockvis case.

The HERMANN FEsTrvAL@-The details of
The Hermann festival, concerning which we
had such full reports by cable, now reach us

story of the celebration over again, the sub

terest that our letter this morning will be
read with avidity by all who care for Ger
MANY or Germanys hero.

THE AMERICAN CONSUL AT TRIPoI1 has gone

The FRENcH SENATE.-Our letter from
Paris this morning opens with an interesting
paragraph relating to the assembling of the
Councils General in all the departments. AS
the election of the Senate depends upon
these bodies their meetings are events of
great importance, and the choice of Senators
will be watched with much interest by all
the political parties in France The future
of the Republic depends more upon the re-
suits of these elections than upon anything
that has occurred since the fall of Sedan.

BAYARD TAYLoR's POEM on Goethe is
printed in another column. Goethes name,
like Shakespeares, will last forever, and
the celebrations of Saturday, even more than
Mr.. Taylor's verse, show that
still through our age the shadowy Leader goes;
Still whispers cheer or waves his warning sign
Tho man who, most OF men,
Needed the parable from lips divine,
And made one talent tenl
