Eeninle Society.

All menwho avoid female society
havedull perceptions, and are stupid
and have, gross tastes; and revolt
lagai4lst what Ialirp Your club.
swaggers who are sucking the butts
of billiard cues all night, call female
society insipid. Poetry is uninspir-
ing to a yokel; beauty has no charms
for blind man; music does not
please; a poor beast docs not know
one tune from another; but as true
epicure' hardly ever tires of water,
sauce, and brown bread and butter, !
protest can sit for a whole night
talking to a well-regulated, kindly
woman, about her daughter Fanny,
or her boy Frank, and makes the
evenings entertainment. One Of
the great benefits a man may derive
from a woman's society is that he is
bound to be respectful to her. The
habit is of good to your morals, men
depend upon it, Our education
makes us at the best eminently sell
fish men in the world, and the great
est benefit that comes to man from
woman's society is that he has to
think of somebody to whom he is
bound To be attentive and respectful.

Defaulting.

The defalcation of Chace, Treasurer
of the Union Mills Company, of Fall
River, goes to establish the fact that
banks and money lenders ought to have
more certain knowledge of persons OF
corporations responsibility than what
they derive from general reputation.
But as long as banks refuse to let each
other know how much and what kind
of paper they hold, and against whom
their Indebtedness is, so long will they
be unable to obtain any precise certain
knowledge of an individuals standing
and SO long must they expect to lose in
the very manner in which they lost in
and vicinity had some means for ascer-
tanning the amount of the notes held by
each other against this Fall River Com
pany, they would have known long ago
that the corporation was borrowing
more than its business warranted and
more than it could ever pay. Against
the 1alCnleSSneSS Oh UrtdSuIeIS anu
cashiers there can be no remedy so long
as directors make no examination of
the accounts. The best reputation a
man ever had ought not to prevent a
careful, thorough and minute examina-
ton of the entire business of the con-
Germ at least once year, and the more
frequent these inspections are the better
will it be for the corporation. One man
without any reputation is suspected,
his accounts looked into and found per-
fectly correct. Another man with a
faultless character is not suspected, his
accounts are not examined and i'll a
little while he proves perfectly faithless.
Not suspicious but the time of the year
ought to determine the time for ex-
animation. The market value of a
good reputation has gone down to zero.

Everything possible was done for the
sufferer whose agonies were terrible.
The burns on his body extended from
his knees to his chin. Both of his hands
were very badly burned, which undoubt-
edly resulted from his attempts to
smother the flames. Soon after he was
placed on the bed, he said, "Where are
nv friends" and then he mentioned the
names of Superintendent Dodge, MT.
Pitman and Director Bell of Manches-
ter. Mr.. Dodge answered, ''Your friends
are with you, Mr.. Dodge is here and
Mr.. Pitman and two physicians, and we
are doing all we can for YOU" Soon at
terward Mr.. Lyons pain was so great!
that he exclaimed, "Oh, let me die, !"
and these were the last rational words
that he uttered. At three o'clock, I'M
der the influence of medicines, he be-
came Unconscious, and in little while
fell asleep. Notwithstanding his terri
BILE injuries, the physicians had some
hopes that his life might be saved. At
eight o'clock this morning he was sleep
ing quietly, but in short time began
perceptibly to sink. At half-past ten
he was failing rapidly, and died soon
after.

had, as a rule, been done in limited,
spiritless and unsystematic way, with
no uniformity of cost, and no certainty
of result. What it is to-day it is quite
unnecessary TO describe.
1t is well known that large portion
of the foreign goods imported into this
country pay duty according to weight.
During the last year the merchandise
weighed at this port for the computa-
ton of duties, amounted to over two
billions of pounds. Now no one would
think of the mere weighing of merchan-
disc by the Custom House as being
much of job, but the expense of this
department at this port for the time spe-
Gifted was over $25O,0OO.
Our gradual settling down to warm
weather turns our thoughts again to the
summer steamboat excursions, which
form so prominent feature in our hot
weather recreation, and do SO much to
render life tolerable to those forced to
remain in the city from June to October.
The facilities for this sort of pleasure
we're reinforced this week by the
launching of brand new steamer,
called the Grand Republic, which Will
carry conveniently 1000 passengers.
Ex-Governor Moses, of South Carolina
who was connected with the infamous
ring which stole the state poor few
years ago, has just been arrested here for
forgery, and will doubtless expiate, a
part at least, of his heinous crimes in
Jail.
The Vanderbilt will case still drags
it's slow and noisome length along, i'm
mense amounts of time and money be-
ing wasted in frivolous and irrelevant
testimony which has, at last, fairly ex-
asperated the long suffering judge, who
is hearing the case, and who stated
somewhat sharply to the counsel for
contestants, a day or two since, that
during all the time they had not adduced
a particle of proof supporting their
charge of insanity, and intimated that he
was thoroughly tired of them. Not very
encouraging to those who hoped to fin
ger some part of VIM. H. Vanderbilt's
millions. RADIX.

Distressing Affair at Plymouth.
MIR. JOHN f. LYON OF BOSTON BURNE
TO DEATH.

MIR. JOHN f. LYON OF BOSTON BURNED
TO DEATH.
PLYMOUTH N. HI. April IL. John E.
Lyon, President of the Boston, Concord
and Montreal Railroad, whose sad death
occurred at Plymouth this forenoon, left
Boston on the noon train Wednesday,
and reached here at $50 p. NJ. His bust
ness connections with the railway
brought him here frequently, but he
came yesterday for the express purpose
of examining the accounts and papers
for the month of March, and of signing
the monthly payroll of the employees of
the corporation.
At Laconia, ON his way thither, he
was joined by Director j. w. Pitman,
who, with Mr.. Lyon, constitute the ex-
amining committee of accounts of the
Board of Directors. At about half-past
9 o'clock Messrs. Lyon and Pitman re-
turned to the hotel, where they sat in the
office and chatted with Mr.. Morse, the
landlord, and Others until the evening
train at eleven o'clock. Mr.. Lyon then
remarked that he would get Bosten
Evening Journal and then go to his room.
He spoke with several persons at the
train, and about half-past eleven took
his newspaper and went to his room.
On going to his room he ordinarily
left the door unlocked, but last night he
fastened it. The Waterman of the hotel
passes by the rooms on the several floors
once an hour, and at two O'Clock last
night he took one of his usual rounds.
Ten minutes afterwards some duty
called him to the second floor, when he
SUDDENLY heard a terrible scream which
he quickly discovered to come from
room IL, occupied by Mr.. Lyon. The
Waterman went to that apartment with
the greatest haste, and as the door was
fastened, he sprang up and looked
through the transOm, when he was ap-
palled by the sight of the occupant on
the floor, with his night clothing in
flames, Mr.. Lyon called out excitedly,
"For heavens sake break open the
door" The Waterman with one push
severed the tastenings of the door and
gained an entrance, Mr.. Lyon lay upon
the floor on his right side, about half
way between the door and the bed.
By the time the Waterman reached
him, Mr.. Lyon had succeeded in extin-
gushing most of the fire, and what re-
manned the Waterman easily smothered.
MIR. Lyon said "Give me some water
and get help" A glass of water was
procured and given him, and then the
landlord and Mr.. Morse were called, and
in few moments came to the help of
the sufferer.

MRS. TILTON'S LATEST CONFESSION.
On Saturday last, Mrs. Tilton signed
the following statement, which was adj
dressed to her relative and confidential
adviser, Ira B. Wheeler, a lawyer OF
No. 203 Broadway, but resident in New
Jersey, and was published in the Trl-
bune of April 16:
Mr.. IRA B. WHEELER.
MY DEAR SIR: A few weeks since,
after long months of mental anguish,
told, as you know, few friends, whom
1 had bitterly deceived, that the charge
brought by my husband, of adultery be-
tween myself and the Rev. Henry Ward
lived so well the last four years had
become intolerable to me.
That statement now solemnly reaf-
firm, and leave the truth with God, TO
whom also l commit myself, my chill
dren and all who must suffer.
know full well the explanations that
will be sought by many for this ac-
acknowledgement; desire to return to
my husband, insanity, malice-every-
thing save the true and only one-my
quickened conscience, and the sense of
what is due to the cause of truth and
Justice. During all the complications
of these years you have been my conf
dental friend, aud therefore l address
this letter to you, authorizing and re-
questing you to secure its publication.

SIR; l confront Mrs. TiltOn's confess
sion with explicit and absolute denial.
The testimony to her own innocence
and to mine which, for four years she
has made to hundreds, in private and
in public, before the Court, in writing
and orally, l declare to be true.
And the allegations now made in con-
tradiction of her uniform, solemn and
unvarying statements hitherto made, 1
utterly deny. l declare her to be inno-
cent of the great transgression.

70 The most noticeable event of the
week in Congress, was the debate on
the bill to reimburse the College of
William and Mary for the destruction
of its property during the war by Union
soldiers. DR.. Loring, of Massachusetts,
made an elegant speech in favor of the
bill. If the property of this venerable
institution was destroyed by Union SOL
diers while intoxicated, and in disObe-
dience of orders, the fact that it was a
rebel college and taught secession ought
not to excuse the government from
paying for what destruction its army
mlawfully Occasioned

70 The end of Tweed furnishes an
exception to the rule, so popular at
present, that a thief's chances of i'm
prisonment are in an inverse ratio to
the amount he steals. After rObbing
the city of New York of millions, Tweed
has died in prison. In his case justice
has been satisfied, and yet no one seems
very jubilant over the result. On the
other hand nothing but pity is expressed
for the old man, old not in years, for he
was only fifty-five when he died, but
old in troubles. That his fate does not
deter men from committing similar
crimes, witness the operations of Chace
at Fall River. Examples have but little
effect on such men, for there never was
a criminal but thought that he at least
would not be discovered in his guilt.

II Secretary Sherman has succeeded
in selling $50, 900 of the a per cent
bonds at SI013 in gold. If Congress
will let the matter alone this sale will
make resumption in 1879 reasonably
certain. The Secretary will have on
the first of January next $40, ,OOO
in gold. This is forty per cent. of the
greenback circulation and is sufficient
to commence resumption with, for with
only nominal premium on gold no
one believes that $50, OOO,O 900 of green
backs would or could. be accumulated
for presentment at the Treasury. Ii
the people understand and believe that
they can have gold for bills they will

The Work House.

Labor upon the work house at Rut-
land, progresses too slowly to warrant
any hopes that it will be completed by
September. If this institution can be
made self-supporting, every days de-
lay in it's final establishment adds no
inconsiderable sum to the expenses of
the state. If the institution were in
operation now, fines and costs instead
of being remitted by pardOns would be
worked out there. The law establish
ing the work house provides that each
person confined therein shall receive
33b cents for each days labor. 1t would
seem that with reasonable care and
prudence on the part of the manage
ment an able bodied man ought to be
made to earn something more than this
sum and his board by days work.
Some such plan as this ought to have
been adopted long ago. 1t is needed
now more than ever before. Through
out the state men are continually being
arrested for intoxicatiOn, fined five dol
lars and costs, and for want of fifteen
dollars are sent to Jail, there to stay
until they can pay their fine. As per-
sons of this class are generally wanting
both in money and friends they stay in
prison till the Jail fills up when they
have to be pardoned out to make room
for new convicts. Thus the state loses
not only the fine, cost of arrest, trial
and commitment, but also whatever the
tailor has paid for the prisoners board
during his confinement. This law ought
to exercise wholesome restraint over
the class of men for whom it was in
tended. When the work house is in
