Man comes into the world with the neces

others and providing for them, Of main.
tanning the whole frame work of society
and that brings US TO the third sphere Of
morality. Many suppose religion is rot a
| thing of a business character. But really,
when you look at it, there could
be no religion unless there was
some business. Suppose man had
| nothing to do. l should like to know how
he would learn activity if he had no mo.
tive TO do anything. Ease would smother
= man. How would man ever be patient

| is patience, but teaching man to maintain
an equable temper amidst things that don't
suit him? Man could never learn patience
by sitting down and thinking about it. That
don't start it; it is getting worried that
teaches man to be patient. How could man
have courage if there were no danger? How
could he learn long suffering unless he had
something to try him? We love to come
to church and sit smilingly down, and have
some inspired preacher tell US how divine is
beneyolence, how divine is charity. We sit
and repeat how beautiful is benevolence,
how beautiful is charity. We 60 out and

every department of business it would be
better if every man would avail himself Of
religion.
Man has another duty to perform, and
that Is obedience to law and the govern
ment-and that is the fourth sphere OF his
morality.
There is one more sphere and that is the
law which connects US with the unseen
world, with the after-life, with the invisi-

ANOTHER CENTEN1RY-ROUSSEAU o.

The centennial anniversary of the death of
Voltaire which was recently noticed in cur
columns, is succeeded to-day by the centenary
of Rousseau, who died on the I'd Of July,
177S.
Among the great lights Of French literature
in the eighteenth century, no two persons are
more strongly cOntrasted in personal character,
intellectual and moral endOwments, literary
culture, and social influence than these Illus
trious writers. VOltaire was born in the pur-
pie; his cradle was rocked in an atmosphere
of learning and refinement; while yetin his boy
hood, he was couTted and tlattered in the
most brilliant circles Of Partisan society. lie
found his associates among the gifted women
whose presence cast an Elusive splendor over
the salons of fashionable life, and the men OF
genius who then were at the height of then
renown, but whose star was destined to grow
pale beneath the ascendancy of the rising sun.
Rousseau first saw the light IN the little city
of Geneva, place of noble historical assOcie-
tons, but of provincial character, limited and
pedantic in its ways of thinking, the tone OF
it's society of an antique cast, and its mode of
worship, as Heine maliciously remarks, adapted
only to the religion Of watehmakers.
The parents Of Rousseau were obscure people
in humble life. With only the advantages of an
ordinary school education, his father was I'M
able to inspire the growing boy with the love of
literature, or even with moderate curiosity in
the pursuit of knowledge. He was a vora-
cious reader of novels, and for time the
son shared with him this enjoyment, and also
acquired romantic passion for che heroes OF
ancient. history; but this soon came to an end ;

THE C0URT or APPEALS VACANCY.

HE CODhI UT N 4 llALo fIC<1NC1'
There is reason for especial care in choosing
the name that is to be placed upon the Re-
publican ticket this Fall as a candidate for
the Office Of Judge of the Court of Appeals.
That name will be the whole ticket and there
should be no mistake In selecting 1t. 1t
should mean something. While it is not
likely that the canvass will assume the form OF a
personal contest between the two candidates
for this place-lt would be a great pity If it
should-none the less will 1t be necessary
that the single standard-bearer should be
worthy to lead the Republican column. The
Mace, too, is one of such importance that
no room should he left for any accident
by which any person not wholly fit might
be named. Fortunately, the discussion Of
candidates seems to be taking direction that
will nut the matter beyond the reach OF I'M
lucky chance. No name has been received
with such general favor by the press of the
State, as that of George +. DanfOrth, OF Roch-
ester. and the talk about him has already been
so general that he seems to be practically the
only candidate for the nomination.
II this is the case-and if it is not, we shall
be glad to be cOrFected-it is safe to cOngratu-
late the Republican party in advance upon an
excellent choice. Mr.. DantOrth Is lawyer
of high standing in his section of the State,
and has given proof, as a counsellor, Of the
ability which he would display as Judge.
He has been twice chosen by the Republican
party as a candidate for important places !;
once he was the nominee for Attorney General
and, at another time, for Judge of the Court
of Appeals. On each occasion he suffered de-
feat with the remainder Of his ticket
but each time defeat was inevitable in
the existing political situation, and each time
Mr.. Danforth, though occupying a subordinate
place in the list of nominees, kept well up in
the voting. His personal character and legal
reputation are all that can be desired in a
candidate for this place. Other able and
worthy men nay be mentioned hereafter, and
one of them may be chosen, bIa the Repub-
lican party would have nothing 20 fear with
George F. Danforth for its candidate.

NEW YORK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1873

Quincy, jr., the early hero, if not the martyr
of American freedom, John Adams had
been Graded in the principles of liberty
before the name of Rousseau had ever
been uttered on American soil. The
liberty of which we boast, is plant of nobler
lineage and more wholesome growth. 1t Is
not the inheritance of French exaggeratlon ;
it has not been nourished by the stimulus OF
heated rhetoric; but has matured with the
life of the people, and gained health and ylgor
at every step of national progress.
The day of Rousseau then may pass without
the blare of trumpet. the roar of cannon, or the
fame of bonfire; without religious procession,
or pealing anthem. or solemn litany OF bells.
His sun went down in darkness and dim I'M
certainty; his life had been a strange union
of comedy and tragedy; his death was con-
seerated by no grief of kindred blood, no pas
sionate cries of conjugal bereavement, no tears
of orphaned children. He passed into the abyss
of Infinity and made no sign; let us not seek
to draw bis frailties from their dread abode"
but spread the broad mantle of charity over
the memory of a human brother who fell by
the wayside, and found no friend to raise
him from the dust.

THE WERTHETNER CASE.

After painful public suspense the problem Of the
disanpearonce of Mrs. Wertheimer from the West
End Hotel. Fort Washington, has been too clearly
solved The popularity Of this case is, that while
the detectives have all along suspected suicide the
family of the unfortunate lady have treated the
theory as one not entitled to a moments serious
consideration. Yet oil the circumstances tend to
show that the police were right There Is nothihg
10 indicate murder, and there has been no robbery
of the valuable diamonds which Mrs. Wertheimer
was wearing when she went away Her
husband repeatedly declared to the police that
his wife had not the slightest for selfdestrue-
ton and was perfectly sane OF course, if she did
drown herself, IL Mr.. Wertheimers statement is to
be credited and we know of no reason why it should
not be, we must come TO the conclusion that wo-
man with every reason for being happy, without
giving any indications of diseased mind, may
suddenly become subject to a suicidal mania, and
may at once execute her fatal plan. The case may
prove more than this. 1t may show that an insane
person may so ingeniOusly conceal the lnhrmlty
that its existence will not be suspected by those
most closely about the patient. This proves
how difficult it is TO determine whether
any one is sane or not. Frequently in the litigation
arising from contested will, various circumstances
are adduced to establish the sanity of the testator
when il is questioned by dissatisfied klnsfolk; yet
all the time he may not have been Of sound and dis
posing mind and memory. Again, the access Of in
sanity NAV be instantaneous or nearly So Up to a
certain point, person may have acted and spoken
rs usual aud may to all intents and purposes,
have been of sound mind. Suddenly int electual
control is lost decisions assert themselves; ana
suicide is resorted to because the sufferer would be
rid of ntolerable though bascless approximations, or
OF physical discomforts which to be insuffera-
bic.
It's evident that when any person disappears,
with no good reason for disappearing, the theory oil
suicide is not TO be disregarded because 1t Is the
one which family or friends aro least willing to
dmit. There have been many instances IN which
those bent upon self-destructlon have maintained
to the last a cheerful demeanOr. With all the cum
ming of insanity they have done everything to pre-
vent any suspicion of their intention. have pursued
diligently their usual avOcat0ns, have mingled
gayly in the social circle, and have dwelt upon
plans extending into a comparatively distant fu-
ture. while all this time the idea Of JeO de sc was
never for moment out of their heads.
