The Goethe birthday celebration, in all
respects save one met expectation. The
bust which was to be unvaled could not be
got at in time, being deeply slowed in the
hold of the steamer KlopstOck. The proceed
ings, which are very fully reported in other
columns included the delivery of a speech by
DR.. Anthony Ruppaner, an Grafton by VIM.
Cullen Bryant and poem by Bayard Taylor.
The effort of Mr.. Bryant is not a mere eulogy;
it analyses the defects as well as the merits of
Goethes character while approaching at their
full extent his varied gifts and the influence
he has exercised on thought and literature.

California leads off in the Fall elections on
Wednesday next, followed soon after by Ar
kansas, New-Jersey, and Maine. The contest
in California is mainly between the lndepend-
ents and the Democrats, and the chances of
success are thought to be in favor of
the former. New-Jersey is to vote on
the adoption of series of constitn
tional amendments, which have been rat
fled by two successive Legislatures,
and come up now for final disposition.
Nearly, if not quite all the changes proposed
are beneficial and should be adopted. Many
of them do away with large amount of petty
special legislation. Maine will vote also on
several constitutional changes, as well as elect
a Governor and Legislature. In none of the
September elections does the financial question
divide the parties The result will, therefore,
be without significance in that respect. A full
list of the candidates to be voted for. together
with other interesting particulars, will !" 'o'md
in TIE TRIBUNE this morning.

Further testimony before the Indian Investi-
eating Commission throws little additional
light on the frauds rerpotrated at the agencies.
The admissions of DR.. Savi!le as to irregular
tues, with his plaintive regrets that he had
never been taught bookkeeping, indicate the
weakness of the defense. A letter from Secre-
tary Delano ins 1873, now published with
comments by Mr.. William Welsh. shows how
deeply laid were the plans of the Ring for
plundering the Indians and saddliDg the re-
sponslbity for it on the religious denOmina-
tons. The Secretary then protested against
Espionage" as earnestly as he has since
against the exposures which Prof Marsh in
itiated. In view of the facts now spread be-
fore the public, most readers will find it
difficult to suppress smile IN reading the
Hon. Mr.. DelanO's remarks on the extreme
improperly of implying doubts in regard to
" the official integrity of the Secretary of the
" Interior and the Commissioner of Indian
"Afiars in reference to contractors"

There is general anxiety on the part Of our
citizens that a rapid transit road shall actually
he built, instead of. as hitherto, melting into
thin air after pleasant visions of hopes and
plans. The opinion of the Corporation Coun-
sci, that the Common Council is at liberty to
authorize the use of the streets for the con-
struction of the road, lessons the prospect OF
delay in this quarter. All that now seems
requisite is the decision of the Commissioners,
which cannot be long postponed.

In all the discussion which the decision OF
the Court of Appeals in the Tweed case has
awakened, it is remarkable that the precedent
for cumulative penalties cited in letter in
our columns this morning should have been
until now overlooked For here, in very re-
cent case, we have the same judges who con-
CURED in releasing Mr.. Tweed agreeing in the
decision that several penalties can be joined
and recovered in the same action. 1t Is not an
unprecedented thing for courts to reverse their
own judgments, but they do not usually do it
fatty by the mouths of the same judges.

the same shall be within two miles of any
Incorporated city of this state.
SEC. And any person who shall violate
in any manner the provision of section of
this act, shall be deemed guilty of misde-
meanor, and on conviction thereof, shall be
punished by fine of not less than five dol
lars nor more than twenty-five dollars
Justices of the Peace shall have concurrent

lication. 1ssF
For violating the above law, parties were
taken before justice G.. Beckmann last

Tuesday evening, st. Paurs Church was
filled to overHowing with frie nds gathered
to witness the marriage of Miss Minnie Off
and Mr. George P. Matbes. The party en-
tered promptly at eight o'clock, and pro-
ceeded to the chancel which was taste fully
decorated with white flowers. The bridal
pair were attended to the alter by Mr.. &
Mrs. Esterday, and were made husband and
wife by the impressive ceremony of the
Episcopal Church. The invited guests then
repaired to the residence of Mrs. Or TO con-
graduate the happy couple. Mrs. Mathes
was as lovely as bridegroom could desire,
and Mr. NJ. looked the impersonation of
happiness. The bride was handsomely re-
memhered by the good people, her presents
being both numerous and elegant. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mathes left on the night train for a
short tour, but expect soon to return and
make this their home. Both bride and
groom have long resided in Walertown,
hence they have many friends VIII 0 earnestly
wish them every good thing. May they
live long and happily, and may no tears
dim the eyes which last evening sparkled

Don't 1t.

The following is sample paragraph in
recent communication of P. Devy's to the
Ocono mowoc Local, the organ of the Union
League: Saf.f s
Those men, for the sake of paltry pit
lance, have outstripped all sense of honor
and deceacy; to hang upon the flag that
offers the highest reward, and confound
themselves with the painting walrus of plum
der, to hide the transgressions of til e enc
mics of the city, by licking their fostering
wounds when exposed 10 the people, and
follow the flash of their glaring cimeter, TO
gorge themselves more full ly on the profits
Of the stain. - xe.f4s.fs
From the above it will be seen that Mr..
Devy is not happy now that he no longer
has the Union League to manage. or the
city books to keep. 1t will also be seen
that the pure and bracing all, of Minneapo-
lis does not make him any clearerlsin his
ex pressions than of old. In fact we cannot
but think that the mans gigantic brain is
in more muddled condition than when he
published the famous horse resolution.
9 Now, an outsider would think that such
jargon could not harm or help any cause.
but to such we would say that he does not
know what wonderful minds We have
among US. While we write we recall four
powerful intellects in the city, who under
stand Mr.. Devy's language, even when no
do es not himself. These men, with such
penetrating minds, were built by the maker
of all things especially to furnish thought
for the multitude, and most zealously do
they follow their calling. They have no
business to speak of, and CONSEQUENTLY can
devote the moss of their time to the purpose
for which they were created. II any on g
wishes to know who they are let him take
q walk up and down Main street almost any
hoar in the day, and he will hear these
p.isa- heads talking bonds, advocating a
general settlement" s.repudietion" and
the like.

Assisting Nature.

1t is of no use attempting to force nature.
She won't stand it, and rebels. She must

how much better to assist nature in such
case with such mild and salutary aperient
as Hostetter's Stomach bitters, which
