About Making Light Of Grave Sub
To the Edit r of the HERALD;

To the Edit of the TERALD
In your last weeks issue appears
an article entitled "A Puzzled Dutch
m an Made Glad Now perhaps your
only object was to amuse; but is it
fair, or proper, thus to treat literary
question, having such a theological
bearing, with ridicule? Ofcourse we
do not know where that foolish
preacher had his text: but supposing
it to be Acts, 8, SO, is the proposition
there translated Into" in the form in
which it is generally found in the New
Testament when it means into? Does
| it vary at all from its use in John a:
5. when relating to city, and translat-
! ed STOP" Is there any reason why 1t
should be translated "into' in Acts, g.:
IS. excepting its close proximity and
relation to the verb rendered ''bap
TIED" In regard to the meaning of
that verb you may, with me. have
read volume after volume in which
the authors labored to prove that in
the Nov Testament it means to I'm =
merse, ~ Pour, or to Sprinkle, until
you were tired, and then, having ex-
amined the question yourself, come to
the conclusion that i; has not there
any of those meanings. And may we
not safely leave this matter with the
theologians, and judging of the future
by the past, rest assured they will
bring out all to be found either in
Scripture or logic in support of their
theories, and more too.
Yours respec fully,

10 Writers.

We are frequently asked whether we will
pay for contributions sent to the HERALD. We
answer that our rule is the same as that of all
well established journals. We do not pay for
contributions unless the writer has reputa-
ton which has price in the markets or unless
the contribution itself is something which will
readily give extra sale for the HERALD. We
pay "Nasby" for his letters and pay Mr.. Red
path for his but we do not know any writer's in
Grant County who have such regulations as
writer's as they have We hold that Grant
County citizens who think themselves capable
Of giving ideas and facts to the public which
would be a benefit to ito all of us, should
regard it az their pleasure and duty to commit,
them to paper and send them to the HERALD,
They will find their reward first in the good
they do. second, if their contributions are strik.
ingly good they viii thus lay foundations for
regulations which may fix price upon their
writings Mrs Emma D. f. y Southworth
we believe, made fortune with her pen, but
she was once a retired lady in Platteville and
wrote gratuitously. There are now one or
two persons writing for the HERALD whose
writings will yet be read by every reader in the
Union but they get no pay. They do not ask
any. Printers, shoemakers, smiths and all
tradesmen must learn their trades before they
can make money out of them. We will say,
however, that we are thankful for all commits
nications and articles We receive for the HER.
AID though some Of them haze gone into the
waste basket and some have cos. US postage
for their return-but we will consider all that
come as for our free use.

Mendoza Anniversary

The Winona Carnival of the order
of Mendolas celebrated their first an
niversary in their Lodge room, in
Bloomington, Friday evening, April

gard to Masons aud Odd Fellows, but
in ceremony and ritual unlike. 1t was
originated by Senator Davis, OF Mid
dleton, Wis, suggested by the perusal
of works of ancient nations of this
western continent long since extinct.
The order has rapidly increased dur
ing the last two years, confined with
one exception to this State, where
there are now forty Councils. That

BROADBRlM'S NEW YORK LETTER.

ROBERT L. CASE, PRESIDENT OF THE SECUR-
ITY LIFE INSURANCE CO., APPEARS FOR
SENTENCE CREMATING A BAEY-vAN-
DERBILT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS &C.
On Wednesday last, 21st ult., scene was
enacted in the Court of Oyer and Termner
that might have melted a heart of stone.
An old man bowed with grief and years
stood up before it's bar to receive sentence
which consigns him to a living tomb. Men
have frequently been sentenced in that
court who have occupied high social and
financial positions, but no such criminal as
Robert L. Case ever stood at it's bar before.
The unjust judges hurled from their proud
and exalted positions were compelled in
their abject degradation and suffering, to
acknowledge the intlexible justice of the
decree; the sanity Gilman, arrained before
its bar, confronted by his crimes, which
admitted no denial, cries, "Take me away,
am guilty" But this man, though ap-
palled and crushed by the terrible perils
that surround him, stands up in the clear
light of open day and says, " Before God
and before man am innocent" He points
back to a long life unblemished by single
stain. He calls attention to the fact of the
financial ruin that engulfed him when the
Security company went down. He lives in
the good report of all men and all women
who have known him from youth to eX-
treme old age-a life glorious with sanity
-;+I boI
tions. When a man like this is stricken
down, it is not his family alone which suf-
fers: the shock reaches not only New York
and the United States, but universal hu-
wound, and the heart must be callous as
stoue which does not feel thrill of uncon-
trollable anguish at such pitiful ard
grievous downfall.
1t is over fifty years since the Case family
settled in Newburgh. One of the brothers
became an admiral in the United States
Navy; another brother, Charles, since dead,
became head of the great mercantile house
of Case, Heiser 4 Co., San Francisco
Robert L. Case, the unfortunate President
of the Security Insurance Co., was Chris
tian gentleman all his life, beloved and
honored by all who knew him, and his only
crime to day is that he placed too much
reliance on the representations of those
around him, he was too trustful of his fel-
low men. 1t is true this was a grievous
fault, a fault which has carried sorrow and
desolation in its train, now beyond recall,
but if it was fault the punishment which
has SO quickly and certainly followed it
seems savage and harsh even while answer
ing the sternest requirements of the law.
If the dread lesson ringing out over this
land shall stop one young man in the down
ward course to ruin; if it shall be the
means of bringing our financial and COM
mercial honor back to the old time stand
ards; if it shall make secure and safe the
patrmony of widows and orphans now de-
pending on the unstable tenure of the
honor of periured bank officials, then this
lesson, bitter and painful though it be, will
not have been given in vain.

HIS YOUTH.
His coat was too thick and his cap was too

He couldn't be quiet, he hated a din;
He hated to write, and he hated to read,
He was certainly very much in iured indeed
He must study and work over books he de-
tested, [rested;
His parents were strict, and he never was
He knew he was wretched as wretched
could be, as he.
There was no one so wretchedly wretched
HIS MATURITY.
His farm was too small and his taxes too
big,
He was selfish and lazy. and cross as a pig;
His wife was too silly, his children too rude;
And just because he was uncommonly good,
He never had money enough or to spare,
He had nothing at all fit to eat or to wear:
He knew he was wretched as wretched
could be, as he
There was no one so wretchedly wretched
HIS OLD AGE.
He finds he has sorrows more deep than his
fears for years;
He grumbles to think he has grumbed
He grumbles to think he has grImbled away
His home and his fortune, his life's little
day.
But, alas! tits too late,-it is no use to say
That his eyes are too dim, and his hair is
too gray.
He knows he is wretched as wretched can
be, THAN he.
There is no one more wretchedly wretched

CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.

A new and peculiar interest has suddenly
been awakened in Egyptian obelsks, both
by the attempted transportation of one of
the celebrated Cleopatra's Needles to Eng
land, and by the project to remove the
other to New York, and to set up the mon
ument of the Oldest civilization on earth in
the midst of our young republic.
One would suppose that if there was any,
thing likely to be stationary, it would be
these huge blocks of stone; yet they seem
to have decidedly vagrant tendency. OF
the six giant obelisks erected in the old
Egyptian city of On, in the land of Goshen,
but one, and that the oldest, which was set
up more than 5000 years before Christ,
still remains standing. Its mate has van
ished from the face of the earth. OF the
