We fearn that Mr.. MANroN MARBLE has
retired from the active management OF the
World newspaper, and that Mr.. WILLIAM HENRY
HuRLBuRT Is now Its editor, and has for the last
week or fortnight had entire control OF the
paper. Whether Mr.. MARBLE has sold the prop
erty we not Informed. but we know that
various negotiations for such sale have Tor
some time been on foot, and the Inference may
fairly be drawn from Mr.. MARBLES retirement
from the editorial control that be has either
already retired from the ownership or expects
soon To do so. To the public 9 change has for
some time been suggested In the altered politi-
cal tone Of the paper The exclusive EVICTION
to the nomination OF Gov. TILDEs at 81. Louis,
which was an unvarying characteristic under
Mr.. MARBLES management, has disappeared,
and while no unkindness or Injustice Is now
shown toward the Governor, the possibilities OF
other candidates are more favoraby considered.
Moreover, the advocacy OF free trade, which Mr..
MARBLE never intermitted for u dav, assumes in
Mr.. HURLBuRT's hands q less conspicuous and
less pertinacious quality.
II Mr.. MARBLES retirement from journalism
is to be nnal, we shall cordially congratulate him
on his lrsalzing that well earned competence
which affords the means of a gentlcmanly indie
pendence aud the opportunity OF pursuing those
philosophical and literary studies which are so
congenial to his mind, and toward which every
intellectual man. who Is stil held TO labor and
service, must look with a feeling OF admiration
and OF envy.

IL Is due to Gov. HESDRIcKs of Indiana
TO say that In the matter OF the Water Works
stock, the Indianapolis Journal, a prominent Re
publican newspaper, entirely eIonorates him
from any intention to do wrong. :" HIS mis-
take" says the Journal, twas In allowing $4,000
Of stock each to be issued to himself and four
Others without consideration, and IN allowing
the secretary Of a company in which he was
director to issue and deliver TO three Of the
other parties tho stock, permitting them to 20
upon the market with II. The certificates issued
bore a lie upon their face, namely, that the
holders we're the owners Of certificates of paid
up stock In the indianapolis Water Works Com
pany. As between them and the company, II
was paid up; but IA between them and innocent
parties, not o dollar had been paid on It, Had
that fact gone out with their certificates, no one
could have complained. Like the stock In the
Emma mine, the certificates represented some
thing that was not there. The whole difficulty
In the matter Is that 1t was an attempt t. get
something for nothing on the part OF the men
who received their stock at once AMI blrtered
II. Its justification Involves very low standard
OF business morals, one that has already become
too common In America. ana which is doing
very much to discredit us with foreign nations"
Nevertheless In this transaction Gov. HEN
DRICKs was not directly party and not only
made nothing by the sale OF the stock, but when
the facts were fully exposed, lie offered to re-
fund his share OF the loss which had been suf-
fered by those who had purchased the stock
from others.

Our correspondent Will, we trust, allow us to
observe that he has not well chosen the title Of
hts poem The word serenade means pr uerly
a love ditty, clear evening, whereas
our friend has written IA song for ma
tutlnal use, TO DO chanted about the

proper to call II a serenade. The second error Of
our friend is IN advising his fair one to get up 40
early In the morning. No lover should ever do
this because at that time OF day she is sleepy
and likely to be cross. Instead OF favorng the
love that is urged at such an inopportune mo-
ment, there IL danger that she might underyHlu ne
and reject 1t. Perhaps. however, our CORE
spondent may be in love with girl OF extraor-
binary taste and habits, who goes To bed with
the swallow and rises with the lark and II ne
can assure us that such * the case, we will at
once withdraw all this criticism.

The new Liberal Ministry in Italy, which
has been in ONCE now some seven weeks, has so
far found its path anything but a path Of pleas
ure and this short time has suniced to show
the members of the Cabinet that 1t was much
easier to censure the late vIscoNTI Ministry for
its shortcomings than 1t IL to fulnl all the brill
liant promises made in opposition. The most
unpopular source Of revenue In Italy Is the Rrist
tax, an impost on all wheat OF corn sent To the
mill and as the unpopularity OF this tax con-
tributed not a little to the downfall OF the late
Ministry, IL was naturally expected that the LIB
erals, on assuming ONCE, would favor Its re-
moval. Sgnor DKPRETIs however, finds 1t Inn
possible to dispense with a tax which brings In
sixty or seventy millions OF francs year without
imposing some other burden equally objection
able. The announcement OF this conclusion has
been received with marked discomfort In some
parts OF Italy and In order to suppress public
manifestations Of this feeling, Sgnor NIcorERA,
the Minister Of the Interior, has resorted to
measures which are pronounced by many OF the
Liberals more arbitrary and less In accord with
the true spirit OF constitutional government
than anything ever attempted by LAMA or CAM
TELL A public meeting, which had been an
nounced TO take place at Mantua, was summary
prohibited by SiGnor NIcoTERA, as the project
OF that city had telegraphed that the object OF
the meeting was to ask for the abolition Of the
grist tax. In a recent speech In the Italian Cham
Der, the Minister OF the Interior defends this
seemingly arbitrary action on the ground that
the subject VI on which this meeting was to have
been held had already been the cause OF dis
| orders In other places, and It thus became his
duty to prevent anything calculated to produce
new disturbance. That this defence has some
merit is shown by the fact that at Corato, a
| small town near Bari, on the Apulian coast, an

Rural Happiness.

A farmer who owns his land, Is free
from debt, and has tolerable improve
ments, cannot comprehend the full
meaning of the term "hard times."
Hence, farming is the best and surest vo-
cation for the masses of the people as
general result 1t does not always lead
to wealth, but it may certainly insure
competence and even abundance. To
the jaded, unfortunate, unsuccessful
business man, there Is no prospect that
looks so enticing as that of beautiful
farm, we'll improved, fully stocked and
carefully titled. 1t is haven of rest,
where the corroding cares and life-sap-
ping anxiety of city business are un-
known o domain over which he is
king, and where he may enforce his
will, undisputed by any one. The true
pleasure of farmers vocation consists
in his intimate relation to nature and
his possession of all the rational enjoy
ments Of life.

One Step at a Time.

A great many people dishearten
themselves by worrying too much about
possible future troubles. Prudent fore
thought is commendable, but mere un-
reasonable worry should be avoided. It
is an act OF folly for a man to couture
up all the troubles that might befall
him, and mass them before him as so
many obstacles 70 be overcome at once.
A man at the foot of flight of stairs,
which he has TO ascend would be fool"
iSh to assume that he must take all the
steps at once, and that because he can
not do that he cannot ascend the stairs
at all. He has only to take one step at
a tiue, aud when he gets to the top
step lie takes that almost as easily as
he took the first. But when he gets
to the top let him be careful that he
does not fall all the way down by one
misstep. Il is the same with the af-
fairs OF life. All we have to do Is to
take one step at time.

to the penitentlary at Columbus. where
he was at first very harshly treated
but his amiable disposition was not long
In making so agreeable an impression
upon the keepers that many privileges
were granted to him. These he never
abused on the contrary, he proved an
efficient assistant TO the prison authorl-
ties on more than one occasion, so that
they wondered how this goodnatured
man could have been capable of COM
mitting so heinous a crime.
Five years passed by, when an event
occurred which proved beyond doubt
that Capon was after all an entirely
innocent man.
A cotton broker, named Wilson, at
Savannah, Ca, had long been on bad
terms with his wife. Finally he charg-
ed her with ahultry, and sued for di-
vorce. The wife thereupon accused
him of having murdered man on the
18th of November 1s41 on the day after
leaving Pittsburg, Pa, and of having
robbed his victim of twenty thousand
dollars in Eve hundred and one thous-
and dollar bank bills.
She said that she had to wash on the
next day, when he had unexpectedly
returned to Pittsbrrg, her husbands
shirt, which had been blood stained, and
she charged him with having killed
somebody. He had confessed to her
what he had done, and they had
left Pittsburg few days later, and
gone south.
Wilson was arrested, and the au-
thorities at Steubenviile at once commu-
nicated with. The sheriff who bad ar
rested Capon, and who was still In Of
fee, came personally to Savannah with
n requisition from the Governor OF
Ohio. When he had his first interview
with Wilson, the latter, who was terri
fed beyond measure by the prospect Of
the scaffold, asked him whether full
confession would save him.
If you are guilty, it will be, maybe,
the only thing that will save your life,"
replied the sheriff.
Thereupon Wilson made clean
breast of it. He said he had waylaid
Sammis, who had left his horse at
house three miles from SteubeDville,
and had attacked him with knife.
Sammis had offered the most desperate
resisterce, and had compelled him to
stab him often before he had succumb-
ed. .
When the sheriff arrived with his
prisoner at Steubenville, the exasper-
ated people there could be barely pre-
vented from lynching Wilson.
The governor Of the State, upon re-
ceivinga certified copy of Wilson'S con-
fession, Immediately granted full
pardon to Capon, to whom the legisla'
ture, which happened tn be in session
at Columbus at the time, voted the sum
of one thousand dollars to indemnify
him for the sufferings he had innocent.
Iy undergone.
1t is needless to try to describe Ca.
pon's joy at this unexpected change in
his fortunes. He returned to Steuben-
vile, where the people received him
amid manifestations of unfeigned joy.
At the next term Of the Circuit
Court, Wilson was sentenced to De
hanged, the court saying that the enor-
nifty of his crime had been augmented
by his suffering an innocent man to be
punished for it.
Capon gave proof of genuine mag
nanimity by going to Columbus and
asking the Governor to spare Wilson's
life but the Governor refuse to inter-
fere. So Wilson was hanged at Steu-
beDville on the 4th of January, 1847.
