A New York letter says: "a very
noticeable tendency of the times is the
going outside of the hack politicians
circle for candidates for the various
Offices Of public trust to be filed at the
approaching election. For instance. q
strong movement has been inaugurated
by the merchants and bankers to bring
out Moses Taylor, an old merchant, and
president of the City Bank, for mayor.
The machine politicians would rather
have q man of their own creation,
but IL it can be shown that Mr.. Taylor
can command the support of the 'solid
men" Of the city, the former, for pru-
dental reasons, will be constrained to
adopt him. Mr.. Taylor has thorough
knowledge Of the municipal finances,
and the calculation is that with such
q man in the mayors chair the taxes
would be cut down to two per cent.
per annum. Well known property
holders are also coming to the front
as candidates for Cong ress and the
State Legislature. There would seem to
be no d, ubt of the nomination Of Mr..
Pierre Belmont (son of August Bel
monty for Congress from the Suffolk
Uong Island) district, and it Is tolera-
bly, certain that young Mr.. Aston will
be returned to the Assembly from the
uptown district which he represented
AZ the last session. Men of property
would thus seem to be finding out that
If they want their interests looked af.
ter they must have men to represent
them whom they can trust, and who
thsmselves have large business inter
eats - stake"

Perhaps the most seriously discourage
ing feature in the present situation is
the pessimism of the more cultured
classes. 1t is common now to find
educated men and women who declare
in all seriousness that republican insti-
buttons are failure, and that the
country is doomed to wreck. They
seem to take gloomy delight in re-
hearsing all the alarming symptoms,
and in parading all the indications of
the evils supposed to be approaching.
They almost smack their lips over the
stories of fraud, corruption, folly, pop
ular cTedulity and blindness which
they have at their tongues end,
and they always conclude with
a sort of Pilahcal washing OF
the hands, as though solemnly re-
nouncing all further interest in their
doomed fstherland, and calling the
universe to witness that they predicted
the catastrophe. We say that this
state CT mind is discouraging, and 1t is
so, for it indicates a very feeble con-
dition of the patriotic impulses, and a
state of culture far more eiTeminate
than robust.

The marriage OF Miss Adler, daugh-
ter Of the venerable rabbi, DIR. Samuel
Adler, and sister Of Prof. Felix Adler,
has created not little discomfort
among the faithful disciples of Juda-
"a IN New York. The wedding took
place at tho house of her father on
Thursday, one of the ten penitential
DAYS between the Jewish New Year
and the Day Of Atonement, celebrs-
ted last week. This season is held
sacred by al orthodox Jews, even
the most reformed, and the perform
ence OF marriage ceremony at such
tine is regarded as an especial profa-
nation. DR.. Adler, for many years
lhe chief minister Of the Temple
Emmanuel, is . man of eminent piety
and learning, but OF late has given
. kls fellow Judaists reason TO fear that
~ sympathizea with the free shrinking
notions his son brought home from
Germany; and the marriage Of his

The Pacific coast, Within a lev weeks

The Pacific coast, within q few weeks
past, has witnessed a succession ef
atroclous crimes. First came the mur-
der instigated by the Public Admins
traitor Of Sacramento to get the victims
estate into his hands; next three
thieves entered a pawnbroker's shop n
Portland, Oregon, in broad dayl gbi,
beating the pawnbroker nearly 10
death, and made of with money and
jewelIy, killing g boy in their light I;
soon afterward young man in San
Francisco attempted 10 kill a gnl
scarcely fourteen years old with whom
he was in love; almost simultaneously
man in the same city, thinking he
had accomplished the murder of
his wife, set fire to the house and com
mitted suicide; finally, an old resident
of an interior county of California, sf-
ter several days of gambling and dis
slpation, scattered strychnine over
household provisions and in a water
bucket in the hope of killing his wife
and son, killed his daughter of twenty
years with Ratchet and then blew out
his own miserable brains with a pistol.
To these acts are to be added the SUI
cides Of two prominent San Francisco
ans, one former tax collector AMI the
other the president of the French Saw
ings Bank. The papers have discoy-
cred that it is genuine epidemic OF
crime.

1t has long been known that flowers
were necessary to insects, bus il Is
only within the last few years that it
has been discovered that insects are
quite as necessary to flowers. There
are, however, but two or three tribes
of insects whose visits are serviceable
to flowers in the way of fertilization.
The Lepidoptera or butterfly tribe are
especially so; and the moths, flying by
night, and visiting such flowers as are
only open at that time, are furnished
with trunk or proboscis which sucks
up honey In its fluid state, and, in seek
ing it, the insect becomes covered with
pollen, which it transfers from flower
to flower. In this way a single insect
will fertilize many flowers. Besides
being attracted by the color of flowers
insects seem capable of approaching
taste and smell, just as the higher ami
mails do. What flowers are to insects
fruits are to birds and mammals. Both
are colored, scented and sweet; but
tn ~ have acquired their various allure
ments for the attraction of wholly diff
ferent creatures.

port that DIR. August Heinrich Peter

rapher, did not die from an apoplectic

en- to distraction by bodily suffering,
caused by bronchitis and mental ex-

cording to the HeralFs dispatch, on
the morning Of the twenty-iifth ult.,
DIR. Petermann, after a restless night,
requested his wife and daughters, who
had tenderly watched oyer HIM during
the night, 10 retire from the room,
which they did. They did not remain
absent long-scarcely fifteen minutes,
when, on their return, DR.. Petermann
was found hanging limp and lifelesf

hastily summoned, the body was cut
down and restoratives tried, but he
was dead, and crumpled in his hands

peace of life, particularly since his

The Christian Female College, Of
Columbia, Missouri, has lately become
the possessor of a most valuable tele-
scope. The glasses were procured
from birmingham, England, and the
instrument was built by an artisan of
Columbia. Its power ranges as high
as 200 and the mechanism of the in
strument is said to be equal to any ID
the world. The mounting is eS.fato-
rial, and the movement FROM east t9'
west is made to correspond so eeeeS-
rately with the worlds movement from
west to east as to nod the instrument
steadily Upon the same star throughout
its diurnal motion.

The Waco Telephone discusses a sub
jeet to which the STATESMAN has often
adverted and says:
When boys growing up (for 1t is the
next generation that must make the
reform practically are taught that muir
der, in whatever form, is horrible !;
when they are taught to shun the
taker Of human life as they would a
leper, then he who slays, whether he
be poor or rich, will be bereft of that
mantle of charity and forbearance that
the world of tc-Iay is only too ready
TO throw around the man who has gold
at his command. Juries will be drawn
from the ranks of men who have been
raised to estimate the murderer in
his proper light, and with an
enlightened but stern public SEN
timent to back them, jurles will
dare, and il they do not dare they
will be forced, to do their
duty-otherwise they place themselves
in the attitude of aiding and abetting
the murderer and become objects of
equal adherence with him. We may
be picturing an Utopia, fanclful but
improbable condition of affairs when
society and consequently jurors arrive
at that stage OF advancement where
they put the murderer on the plane he
ought to occupy; but until such IL the
case there will always be men who can
kill their fellow-men, be arrested, go
through oil the forms of trial and
yet get off scot free. The lawyer,
who for a good fee, defends with
all the psrtinacitv man Is capable
of, - notorious or blood-stained
eliminal, is not to be blamed, as
some theorizing moralists contend.
The lawyer is right. 1t is principle
that we cannot afford to cut loose from
to deny any man the fullest defense he
ris capable of securing. We rather ad-
Pmire the lawyer who fights his case to
the bitter end. What we need are
juries who will not be deluded by the
lawyers sophisms, dszzled by his elo-
quence or softened by his pleadings foI
mefcJASptil they forget the mute voice
and cold fos-A of the murderer's victim
and render yer lets that practically
negate and estopstho claims of Justice.
Until these conditions are attained
there must either be a defective ad-
ministration of CIVIL justice, or stern
reign OF mob law, the one just as de-
plorable and disgraceful as the other.
