to cross the stream. 1t appeared that the
Grand Duke of Meeklenburg -Schwerin, a
general distinguished during the war of
1870, had taken command of the Sixth Corps
on this final day. He sent . small force
from his right to oRose at Kroitsch, which
was met and strpnsly resisted by the
Northern army, and while @ good deal of
noise was made in this affair, he crossed his
centre and main force further south, turned
or outfianked the Northern army, and
bringing up his Corps artillery, placed it
on the summit of q low ridge, and poured a
crushing fire into his opponent. The artil-
lery, some sixty guns. was massed and
advanced by alternate divisions - its fire
told ON the enemy. tNr
Tho Fifth Corps wAs obliged to change
front and to form q line in the rear of its
first position. This was done with the
greatest order and speed, without the least
confusion or accident. The wonderful hexi
bility and strength of the Prussisn in.
fsntry formation was here conspicuous.
The strong skirmish line held the crests Of
this rolling country. The supports nearest
them formed either in lines or in square
masses of various size, moved ut the word

found the whole force Of the Fifth Corps

More serious cases than these were
those of a boy, II years old, who was
shot without il moments notice, while
sitting in cabin, one night, some time
ago. and of his companions. who was
taken out and riddlcd with bullets.
Soon after this, Il negro found his house

Resignation of Treasurer Spinner.

Gen. F. f. Spinner, for fourteen wears
Treasurer of the United States. resigned
that position on Monday. The Treas
urer's office has grown up under HIM
from half Il dozen clerks and mesSen-
gers to an immense bureau of 500 EN-
ployes, its growth being largely due to
the personal confidence reposed III him
by the various Secretaries of the Treas
ury, who devolvcd upon him duties
which. but for his high character and
reputation, would perhaps have been
given to others. General Spinner is
now over seventy-four years of age,
and upon his retirement intends t" seek
the rest his ardu0uS duties have :" long
denied him. Notwithstanding his age
and laboriOuS life. he still retains in Il
remarkable degree his vigor. both of
mind and body. Mr.. John {. New. t"

position of Treasurer to succeed Gen.
Spinner, is cashier of the first National

Victor La Tourette.

In "Nictor La TOurette," a Broad
Churchman illustrates his views of re-
ligiOn as affecting faith and life through
the medium of the novel. The scene
opens in that Indian country about
Bord Du Lac, and we have III the course
of the story the Catholic missionary,
the Unitarian, the Calvinist and the
Episcopalian expressing their views in
earnest but not embittered discussion.
That the time represented in the book
is not the present, may be inferred from
the remark of Mrs. WinSlow. an Episco-
palian, to NJ. La Tourette. the Catholic
ado not attempt to preach i'll Boston.
Why, don't you know that the boys
sometimes boot at us and throw stones
at the windows ?" The essentials of
religion, as shown in the common
ground held by different denominations,
are pleasantly brought out in the faml-
lar talks between their members, and
there is enough of incident in it to pre-
vent its theology from imparing its
popular interest. Published by Roberts

The Shooting at Vineland.

We referred last week to the shooting
bv Charles X. Lands of one Carruth,
who in a most cowardly manner had
attacked Lands wife and family. Mr..
Lands has made a statement which
shows the provocation even worse, than
we gave it. This is it i'll substance:
He bore patiently the attacks of Car
ruth upon himself, but when they be-
gan to be turned against his wife and
children, it was too much. His wife,
he said. is of very excitable nature,
insanity is in her blood, and Carruth's
indecent and brutal paragraphs drove
her actually mad. With diabolic per
sistency they were brought before her,
the papers were thrust under the doors,
thrown in ut the windows, sent by mail,
and sometimes she would he insane for
il week III Il time after one of these ar
ticlcS. At this time Mrs. Lands was
enccinte. and the doctor assured him
that her reason would permanently
give way if the cause of her excite
ment were not removed. The fated
morning, some one sent her the slip
from the Independent Mr.. Lands
found her in Il state of fierce excitement,
and he became desperate. He ran up
stairs to his library, put Il pistol to his
head and snapped it the cartridge did
not explode. Then it flashed across his
mind that suicide would be cOwardly,
and he seized another pistol and went
to Carruth's office. There he waited
about about two minutes, and when
Carruth came in he showed him the
slip and asked him if he wrote it. He
replied, II did, and | have done il be-
fore, or, "and | will do it again.
Lands does not remember which. Car
ruth stood with his right hand in his
breast, and Lands believed him to be
armed, us he was reported to always
go armed. Then Lands said. "Will
You promise not TO attack my wife in
the tutureg" Carruth answered. No"
and then Lands. calling upon him to
defend himself. presented his pistol
Mr.. Lands remembers shooting and
memory is confused. As soon is he
recovered consciousness &c things, he
had distinguished Philadelphia sur
geon sent for to attend to Carluth. who.
10y the way, is now thought quite likely
to recover. Mr.. LandiS said he had
often thought of r"whiding Carruth,
but he could not safely attempt such Il
thing. for his right arm is disabled 10y

The Postage Swindle.

1t is worth remembering just now
when everybody is grumbling at the
blunder by which transient postage wds
doubled by Congress during the last
night of the session. that President
Grant recommended in his message a
year ago, that no appropriation bills
should be passed during the last two
DAYS of the session. Had his suggestion
been needed, the postal blunder, and
quite likely other blunders, would not
have occurred.
