The report of the Deputy Master Of the
English Mint for the year 1874, has recent
ly been presented to both Houses of Parlia-
ment. 1t appears that during the year the
total coins struck numbered 7,467, Jap, Of
the value Of s2.371,7as. The gold coinage,
including both sovereigns and half sover-
eigns, amounted in value to 81, ,z62, 1929, OF
considerably less than in preceding years,
but to this must be added nearly two mil
lions sterling of gold coinage imported from
Australia.
Mariette Remy, a beautiful girl, who had
led rather gay life, died in Paris the other
day. She was known among her friends
as Opal, from the fact that she always wore
very handsome opal necklace. This
necklace was given her by her first lover,
who, at the time, said: You know that
opals are gems which live. My fate is in
separable from these. When you see them
become dull and die, /, too, shall be at the
point Of DEATH" One day they thought
they We're weary Of each other, and they
But after he had gone, Mariette
found that her love for him was still ardent,
and she sought to recall him. It was too
late he had left the country. She consoled
herself however, by looking At her neck
lace and saying: "The opal still lives. I
shall zee him again." But about month

one by one, they lost all their lustre and
became dead. A few days ago, but one re-

mother of his children, died, we think, in

ATHLETIC AMUsKMKxn.

This might truly be called the age Of
athletic amusemeuts, FOX never before
did they attain to such . popularity
in America and England, ~ It the present.
The Greeks and the Romans wese great
athletes, and made such manly displays Of
physical powers, "a to excite an admir.tion
that has passed into history, and form the
delight of the scholar to read Of In the
present age We are not close imitators Of
the sports Of these ancient athletes, but We
have ways Of showing athletic skill, that
are as essentially useful and profitable.
Pedestrianism is one of the most healthy
modes of exercise, and when reduced to .
profession, and the pedestrian is we'll skill
ed, he becomes an athlete and enters the
field as such. We have had many fine ex-
hibitions Of pedestrianism in America, by
Americans, and which have done much to
advance this az q mode of healthy excer-
else, and at the same time make it spirit
ed amusement.
But that which has attained to the most
popularity in athletics, is base ball play
ing. This has gained such . hold upon
the country as the national game, that
there is not village or hamlet that has
not its club. The newspapers TEEN with
the reports, merely We suppose to crafty
the tastes of the admirers of the game,
and everywhere it is we'll discussed. 1t is
healthful exercise, but at the same time
one that has been very much abused by
over e1ertion, and from an honorable amuse-
ment it has been lowered TO a mode of
gambling, that must soon lower it entirely
in the estimation of those who have any
appreciation for that which is virtuous or
upright in a game. Boxing, fencing and
wrestling, all have place in the great whirl
of athletic amusements and the bar,
quoits, Indian clubs and dumb-bells figure
in the arena, and we may safely say as we
started out, that this is truly an age of
athletic amusement.

uIxIxG POLITICS ASD BKLI0IOH

NIXIxG POLITICS AyD BEII0IoH.
1t seems impossible with some people to
,et thngs alone, which do not interfere with
heir happiness. This can be very aptly
applied to politics and some politicians.
And one Of those things that they meddle
nth which does not interfe with their hap
piness, is mixing religion up with politics.
Instances of this kind are very numerous
and have led to very serious disturbances
in the social fabric, as well to party equa-
nimity. There is no question that should
be more foreign to all questions in politics,
and none that when stirred up brings with
it such bitter feelings. There is no party
where it comes 80 freely into play, As with
the Republican, and no leaders have drawn
the line Of division in this matter 30
strongly az the leaders of that party. 1t is an
element that they have made one Of discus
sion for years, and one that has excited
harsh feelings. In the Ohio campaign this
thorny controversy has been dragged into
the election by the Republicans, and is
being made one of the special objects Of
the campaign. But Ohio is not the only
place where such has been done and not
until too late is the folly Of the move
ment seem. The Church and State are
two institutions that should never be put
together in any way in political considers
tions, and none know it better than our
own people. The difference in religious
views form no grounds whatever for dif
ference in the views Of politics. The
country il free one and Offers civil and
religious Liberties to its citizens. And
therefore the confounding Of the two is no
more than an effort to disrupt this liberal
feature Of our constitution. We can we'll
appreciate every mans attachment to his
religion, and admire his fidelity to it. But
a; the same time it offers no reason that it
should be mixed vita politics and prove
One Of the most bitter feeders to fame of
hate. Thoze who do mix it with politics,
are not Of the broad and liberal minded,
sensible sort, and therefore, from them it
Is worth little or no consideration.

A.istant District Attorney Fisher Is no
Tie most pure man that ever lived. Thes,
i no man Who nises the saying thst ~
honest mas y the nnblet work Of Goi
further than Fisher. His Last act has beez
to release . notorious burglar named Snei
der from Imprisonment, upon his own ~
sponsibility, and with every appearance
that he vas bribed to do it. The New
York Sss says In Peaking Of it:
@Hov much money was actually paid
for this outrageous prostitution Of la~ in
the interest Of notorious felon, is not yet
known; bat Fisher, who was seen in Bal.
timore with several low gamblers who
lave long been his only intimates, openly
boasted Of having received round sum
fof his share Of the villany.
It appeau that the Grand Jury at Wash
ington, 1t the Last term, made . present.
ment Of Sneider for burglary and rob
berry, but no Indictment was prepared BY
the District Attorney. The case was pig
eonhold, as many others have been, for
the protection of the burglar and for the
profit of vorse rogues who make merchan-
disc Of their Official trusts, with the knowl-
edge and consent of the Administration.
If there was any strict supervision at
Washington, these constant outrages ON
justice could not be possible. But with the
President Cabinet, and heads Of bureaus
absent for months together, neglecting
every duty and opening the door to frauds
and corruption, they are inevitable. I'm
munity from punishment or pardons after
conviction have emboldened the third
termers, 50 that the Law has lost its terrors
for evil doen when public prosecutors can
be bought like sheep at the shambles.
Mr.. Attorney General Pierrepont is
called upon to explain how he came to
permit these Fishers to remain in Office
after their "resignations" had been extort-
ed BY public outcry against such dishonor
and contamination. He holds the evidence
of their guilt in his hands, and has per-
sonal knowledge Of rascalities in the Dis-
trict Attorneys Office which ought to send
the perpetrators to the penitentiary for the
term Of their natural lives.
With court, marshal, District Attorney
and assistants, detectives, police, and BAIL
ifs, all under Ring rule at Washington, it
is easy to imagine what sort Of justice is
huckstered in that plundered community,
and why 80 much desire is felt to drag the
distant press before juries packed to order
by such combination"

PISTOLS AND CRIME.

There are certain e1igencies of life tha,
justify actions, which, under other cir
cumstanees would be ine1cusable to the
law. This is forcibly suggested by the
prevalence Of crime in the country at the
present time, and az protection to life
We deem that it IL but in duty to himself
that man should be fully prepared by
means Of weapons of defense to meet any
emergency. Fire arms are dangerous
weapons in the hands Of some, especially
those who are possessed of hasty tempers.
But when We read of the daring robberies
that are being every day committed and
the newspapers bring to US stories of blood
shed and murderous assault there is a
warning contained in them to be prepared
for such. In our own state we are not en-
tirely free Of the outlaw element, and
throughout the country it appears to be
increasing. The privacy of the household
is invaded by the robber who is always
ready to strike the death blow if any in
teryention is offered to the accomplishment
Of his purpose. The assassin prowls under
the cover Of darkness about the shadows
Of dimly lighted streets, seeking robbery,
and if necessary murder in his efforts at
criminal gain.
When there are assurances of the rapid
increase Of crime in such startling quanti-
ties, is there any reason that man should
hesitate to put himself against it! There
are none who would strike blow if at
tack were made upon them, but do not aim
for fear Of violating the law, but as We have
said before, there are certain exigencies of
Life that justify actions which under other
circumstances would be inexcusable 10 the
law. There have been many murders
committed that would have been averted,
and the murderer made the murdered one,
if the victim in his struggle for life had
been prepared with some effective weapon
to strike blow in self defense. Many
reasons of course could be urged against
the carrying Of concealed weapons, one of
which is that it is violation Of the law,
and another that it would be the result of
disasters that would not have occurred fthe
author Of the disaster had not been armed,
or it might be said that it is a practice
extremely dangerous. But there are strong
reasons that could be offered in extenua-
tion Of the practice Of carrying concealed
weapons, one Of which forms the argu-
ment Of this article. In Wilmington
there is a reign Of good order, and We have
no urgent necessity for such . preparation.
In New York, and many Of the larger
cities, the necessity Of this preparation i
made manifest every day by the many
bold robberies and murders that are com.
mitted, and To victims rendered powerless, |
owing to the absence Of any weapon to put
themselves in position Of defense.

A cosrepondeace from Osvego, Nes

who bsqueathed her IN e.tate of over ,
million dollars and an almost princely in.
come from royalties ON al the mahogany
and other valuable timber exported from
certain districts Of Brazil came to this city
from Rio Janeiro. Her family cousited
of her adopted daughter, Jessie, a girl Of
great personal beauty. whom Mrs. Guims.
rsez adopted at the age of four yean aid
who now is about sixteen, and South
American girl, still younger, whom she
brought with her to educate. Mrs. Guima-
raez was native of Oswego county, and
adopted Jessie, who also is her niece, du-
ring the life Of her fnt husband, with
whom, as well 1s herself the child was q
pet. For several years Jessie has been
sent North, and has visited her mothers
relatives in the town Of New Haven, o.
wego county, where lives family named
Simmons, and another named Calkins,
whom she also visited.
On Monday the Simmoases visited Mrs.
Guimaraez, and Jessie was permitted to go
home with them. Jefferson Simmons is
station-keeper at Sand Hill, small station
on the Rome and Oswego railroad. Cal
kins, whose wife is . cousin of Mrs. Gui-
maraez, keeps petty grocery at the same
place. On Tuesday afternoon, it was al
legged that Jessie was in Calkinss store, and
be asked her to drink some pop. She
drank one glassful, after which she claims
to have become unconscious, in which con-
dition she was taken into . carriage BY
Frank Calkins, con of the storekeeper, who
drove to Holmesville, three miles distant,
and there Baptist minister married him
to the girl, after which he drove back to
Sand Hill and left her at Simmons's house
Jessie says that the first thing she recql7
lects after drinking the pop is being in Mn.
Simmons house and hearing young Cal
kins telling Mrs. Simmons that they were
married. She has an indistinet recollec-
ton of riding along road in the interval
of unconsciousness. The evening of the
marriage young Calkins went to Oswego,
told Mrs. Guimaraez that Jessie had mar
ried him. and tried to reconcile her to the
match. On Wednesday morning Jessie
accompanied by her friends. and
related her story, alleging that she had
been drugged. On the afternoon of the
same day, Mrs Guimaraez started with Jes-
sic for Illinois, intending for the present to
leave her with her parents, who live some
where in that State, and procure divorce
at once.
The friends Of the girl allege that it was
q job put up by the Calkinses, who knew
Mrs. Guimaraez's affection for Jessie, and
that she would be the sole heir to her
wealth. Calkins is dissolute fellow, and
has been employed as track hand on the !
Rome and Oswego railroad. The Calkinses
will probably be proceeded against crimi-
nally on the charge Of abduction.

ARIsTOCRATIC CUSTOMS,

America is growing every day in i.s ten
dency towards aristocratic ideas and Gus
toms. 1t crops out everywhere. At the
watering-pIaces it meets you On every
hand. In the ballroom you are confronted
by it. In the private social circle i, has
its sticklers, and even among those whose
pretensions far exceed the limit of their
incomes, We find the fosteren Of ridicu-
lous snobbery that should be discounte-
nanced to conform the people to the broad
Democratic principles Of an Independent
nation where we are the dictators Of our
own modes Of life. This is a false society
which has its being, in ::aping the ridicu-
lous customs Of the English who are the
greatest sticklers in the world for aristo-
cratic ideas and customs. 1t is bred prin-
cipally in the circle of a shoddy arstocra-
cy that makes its laws Of the etiquette
governing society in imitation Of what they
deem something extremely delicate in the
fashionables Of foreign countries.
Among themost solid wealth Of America
and in fact in all countries, whore there il
brains enough with the wealth to show the
folly Of stilted formality nothing Of this
sort prevails. The late President John
son was plain and unassuming in his Gus
toms, LIE detested formalities and regarded
them as the creation of false society.
Daniel Webster had his ideas of life framed
in precisely the same mould. While there
are numbers Of other illustrious men who
regarded snobbery as nauseous and repul-
.sive to the tastes Of society that pre-
scribed no laws harsher than q politeness
that is instructive with every gentleman
and lady.
When we see man or woman that has
to change their clothing twice day We put
them down at once as belonging to the
isnobaristocracy, or if we see lady that
Twill not receive company until certain

With snobbery. Such is altogether in op-
position with the truest ideas Of American
ife, and its existence tells more plainly Of
lack Of brains than it does of higher
'egree Of life than is possessed by those
Avho do not mingle in their circle. And
We never see it without thinking that that
aan or woman who conforms TO it would
fe much happier and enjoy life much more
\ they were not bound by the harsh de-

SERIOUS DIVISION AMONG THE TRIBES As
TO THEIR FUTURE COURSE.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The Indian
Bureau received the following letter this
morning in relation to the division among
the Northern Indians about attending the
Grand Council to be held September l.:
RED CLOUD AGENCY, NEBRASKA, Aug.
16, 1875.-Hon. E. p. Smith, Commissioner
Of Indian A6ars-SIR: The messengers
sent for the Northern Indians have re-
turned. They found the Ogallalas, Min
neconjous, Unkapapas, Sans Arcs and
Cheyennes all camped on Tongue river.
The Indians were much divided in their
councils. The Cheyennes are all coming
in the other bands are divided, part COM
ing in and part remaining. Sitting Bull,
or, as the Indians call him, "Slow," the
Unkapapa leader, refuses to come in, and
says he will remain there as long a. there
is any game, and, although they do not
want to fight white people, they will do 70
if any come into that country. Many
Bears, the Sans Arcs chief, and Many
oAVOnN OYuAACAoyIAAc OAAuNcCO1JOu0 CuICl,
indorsed Sitting Bulls speech.s The Big
Little Man is coming in. Crazy Horse and
Black Twin say they may be in after
awhile, but that they will agree to any
treaty that is made by Indians at this
agency. The messengers report game very
scarce, and express the opinion that all or
nearly all of those Indians will come in
during the fall or winter. They report
eighteen hundred lodges altogether out
there. This number I think too large.
The most of the Indians who are coming
to council will be here about the first Of
September. 1875. Lone Horn, of the north,
whom l have mentioned in several Of my
reports, was killed in q battle with the
Grow Indians about two weeks ago. Also
six of his men were killed.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
J. J. SAv1LLE,
United States Indian Agent.
Sitting Bull above mentioned Is not the
sitting Bull to whom the President pre-.
sented rifle last June while the delega-
ton was in Washington, but il the father
Of Young Sitting Bull. Lone Horn, who
was killed, will be recollected q the old
man in Major Bingham's party.
