A Plea for WOman's Aid I'm the Evan-
geIIzaGAon Of the World.

The following is an extract from pri-
vate letter, in regard to a small bequest
given to the writer:
First of all / want to offer to
tie dear Father v no so unexpected
ly has sent this, one-tenth of the
amount for the extension of His bles-
Sed Gospel. How could We more
appropriately honor the God of our
Father who has given us so rich and
blessed heritage, than by warmly
responding TO our Savior's last COM
mand to his disciples Cannot he
who has done SO much for the chill
ldren of our pious ancestors en-
rich us more and more; and shall
we not bring all the tithes into
the storehouse and prove Him there
with and see if He will not open the
windows of heaven and pour us out
such blessing that there will not
be room enough to receive it ? Read
Malachi iii, 8-ls and see how rich
and full are the promises to such con-
se1ration of what the Lord puts at
our control. feel that the respon-
sibility of the worlds conversion
lies heavily npon American women.
Gud has placed our nation in the
very centre of Christian influence
and power. 1t lies between two
oceans, is traYersed by railroads and
covered by telegraphic lines. Wo-
man is free, has educational advan-
tages unsurpassed, and is endowed
with powers exactly fitting her for Il 6
work of directing public sentiment
aud controlling the use of property.
The Lord released her from the
thralldom of the spinning, weaving,
and sewing, which consumed the EN-
ergies of the mothers Of former gen
eratioDs, through labor saving ma
chimes They now have the leisure as
well AS the power, to witness for
Christ, to train the children into be-
nevolent workers, and to economic
the resources of the nation for the
extension of the blessed Gospel.
Never was there such Macedonian
cry from every part of the heather
world for the services Of education
al Christian women as now, and new
er before could ladies do so much
through organized associations as
the present era. Then, again, hea-
tbenism, superstition and Infdelity
are rolling in upon us from Asia and
from Europe, and our free institu-
tions can only be saved through the
entire conservation of the Christian
people. Corruption and crime are
in high places Of influence and pow
er, and these must be neutralized
through the virtuous purity of the
people and the aggressive influence of
vital Goodness. May the Divine
benediction rest upon this little por-
tion, and may it be like the loaves
and fishes in the dear Savior's hands,
which satisfied the hungry multi
tude, and filed the twelve baskets
for the supply of the disciples"

IT STOPS EVERY LEAK,

EXTREMELY CHEAP.
Two gallons will cover hundred square

FURTHER INVESTIGATION
ASKED FOR,

In the Senate yesterday Thurs
day. Hon. II. G. Davis, of this State,
spoke on his resolution introduced
on Wednesday, calling for the ap-
pointment of a committee of five to
investigate the condition of the books
and accounts of the Treasury depart
ment, particularly with reference to
discrepancies and alterations in
amounts and figures that have been
made in them, especially in the an
nual statement of the expenditures
of the government revenue collected,
and the public debt contained in said
reports, and if any such discrepan-
cies and alterations be found to
exist to report the same and the ex-
tent and nature thereof, the years
wherein they occur, by what author
ity ,.if any, the reasons that induced
them, and report generally such 9TH
er and further information bearing
upon the subject as to them may
seem best, and that said committee
have power to send for persons and
papers.
In his speech Mr.. Davis confined
himself almost exclusively to figures
and facts as officially reported, and
made a clear, concise and strong ar
gument in support of his resolution.
While his comparisons of reports
with changes and alterations of
figures shown in many may compel
unfavorable conclusions as to the
management of the Treasury De-
partment, he disclaimed all desire to
reflect on the present efficient head
of the Treasury Department or any
of his predecessors.

PROPERTY,

From the activity displayed on the
part of our representatives in Con-
gress it is to be hoped that some des-
position will soon be made of the
Harper's Ferry property. We give
the following information in regard
to it
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, }
Washington, ID. G, Dec. 81, rs. !
To the Editor Of The Spirit Of Jefferson:
1t gives me pleasure to announce
to you that the Attorney General Mr.
Pierrepont, has revoked his order di-
recting an appeal from the decision
of Judge Jackson in the case of the
United States and Adams VS. the B.
IL o. r. r.. Co., involving the inter-
est of Harper's Ferry, and that the
decree of sale will now be permitted
to take its course.
Very truly yours,
CHAS. j. FAULKNER.
From the Baltimore Sun of We'd
nesday we take the following:
The statement that the Attorney
General had withdrawn the appeal
of the government to the Supreme
Court in the Harper's Ferry case is
premature. Some correspondence
passed between the Attorney Gener-
al and Mr.. Faulkner on the subject,
but nothing definite has grown out
Of it. Senator Davis, who has evin-
ced much interest in the matter, has
had several interviews with the At
torney General on the subject, and
was requested by Mr.. Pierrepont to
put his views in writing. He has ac-
cordingly addressed a letter to the
Attorney General urging that the
appeal be withdrawn. He sets forth
that the property is going to decay,
and that the only parties benefited
by an appeal from the decision of
Judge Jackson ordering a resale of
the property would be original pur-
chasers, who had never made any
payment whatever on the property
and had carried off nearly all the
available movable machinery, &c.
The letter Of Senator Davis was
strongly Endorsed by Senator Caper-
ton and Representatives Wilson and
Hereford, of West Virginia. The
Attorney General has the matter
under consideration and will proba-
bly, comply with the request of Sena-
tor Davis and his colleagues, SO that
this valuable property may be dis
posed of to private parties or repur-
chased by the government.

jealousy and the Pistol.

New YORK, Jan. 12.-Between eight
and nine o'clock last evening Anton
Martens, a cigar dealer, of 2IS East
Twenty-eigth street, shot and danger
ously wounded Thos. Rogers, of 96a
First avenue. and then shot and in
stantly killed himself. The double
tragedy was enacted partly in the cigar
store of Martens in Twenty-eighth
street, and partly in the street in front
of the store.
Anton Martens came to this country
about ten years ago, and engaged in
the cigar business at 213 East Twenty
eighth street, Five years ago he'was
married to pretty young German
woman with whom he had been ac-
quainted in the old country.
He lived in the back part of his store,
and nothing disturbed their domestic
happiness until few months ago. He
then grew jealous on account of the
visits at his store of Thomas Rogers.
He is single man and of progressing
appearance. He bought his cigars at
Martens store, being generally waited
upon by Mrs. Martens. This acquaint-
ance ripened into intimacy, and he
spent much eff his leisure in the store.
Martens frequently had quarrels with
his wife, and at such times used threat
ening language. She says that on the
Thursday before Christmas her hus-
band warned Rogers to keep away from
his shop. He afterwsrd bought pis-
toll and carried it continually.
Last night Rogers went to the store
a few minutes before 9 o'clock. Mar.
tens was absent, but when he returned
few minutes afterward and found hir
wife and Rogers in conversation in the
back room used as bedroom he, &C
cording to Mrs. Mortens, ordered Ro-
gers out of the room.
AS Rogers arose to 60, Martens drew
his pistol and fred at Rogers. The lat
ter fell to the floor, but springing up
quickly reached the door, and just as
he opened it Martens fred second
time, and then dashed after Rogers.
Mrs. Martens caught her husband and
tried to hold him back. and he threat
ened to shoot her if she did not let him
go.
She then released her hold, and Mar
tens followed Rogers into the street and
began to shoot him, discharging three
shots At the third shot Rogers fell to
the pavement. By this time some pass
ers by had been attarcted by the firing,
and they say that Martens went up to
the PROSTATE man, put the pistol to his
own right temple, fired and fell to the
sidewalk. He died on the spot,
tits thought that Rogers wounds arc
mortal.

blue about. True, times are dull.
all kinds of business is depressed but
there is no reason why we should
imagine ourselves bankrupt. The
cause of the depression is well known
fictitious values, fancy prices, and
over-stocked markets. So soon as
we get back to original and real val
ues in the price of property of all
kinds, including wages, then every
thing will work right. We have a
good, lively town, as prosperous as
any other town in these times and
there is no use of the good Buzfuz
throwing the weight of his mighty
influence against it. Don't, Buzfuz-
please don't.

Gov. Allen on Tramps.

IN his valedictOry message to
the legislature Of Ohio, Gov. Will
liam Allen says:-"The matter of
professional vagrancy is one wor-
thy of your attention. / am we'll
aware that, owing to the general
paralyZation of business, a great
many honest and industrious men
are out of employment, and in
their efforts to find remunerative
labor go from place to place with
honest purpose. But within q
few years a class of Migrants have
grown up in our midst, who seize
the dizziness of business as a pre-
text TO roam over the country with
no purpose except to secure a liv-
ing by begging or elicit means.
The evil should be arrested at
once. The question is difficult
and delicate one. Honest search
for employment must not be
branded as crime, but vagrancy
is a misdemeanor in itself, which
the law should suppress"

Brooklyn Gas Troubles.

BROOKLYN, Jan. ia New York
man offered yesterday to the Brooklyn
Alderman to supply light and extin-
guish 1000 more lamps for $50
year apiece, furnished a light equal to
the best gas. A resolution was intro
duced instructing the Board of City
Works to cease to light the lamps in
front of all the churches, thereby saw
ing to the city between nine and ten
thousand dollars. President Slocom re-
ported to the Council that the gas COM
panies had consented to reduce the price

five minutes, instead of eighty minutes,
and to charge the burners at no expense
