OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Brother Talmage--A Divers
Death.

The gyroscopical Talmsge, while ab-
sent in the fesh still exercises the spir-
its of his Brooklyn flock and Q vast
number of outsiders. His movements
have, with more or less reticence, been
telegraphed at considerable length by
his managers in
England, and whether true or simply Q
dexterous advertising dodge, it Is now
asserted that he has 20 charmed the En-
glishmen with his convoluting arms,
legs, hair, ears and jaw that his
own people will be left to seek some
other attraction. Some who profess to

The current number of Harper's
Weekly contains an article on the re-
cent doings of the Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company of New York, which en-
body some remarkable facts and figures.
It shows among other things that during
1878 the company paid out to the survi-
vors of its policy holders the enormous
sum Of three aud half millions Of dol
lars, and practically accounts for this
immense business by thus explaining
the nature of the institution.

disgusting scenes, on account OF the i'm
possibility of obtaining seats in any 9th.
er car on the train.
OF course Mr.. Healy does what he
can for the happiness of his passengers,
and of course he is just the man for his
place, but still the want Of power to
preserve good order, either legal or
physical, is too noticeable whenever
several rowdies happen to meet on his
trains. If sufficient legal power to en-
force good order Is no: given to the po-
sition Mr.. Healy occupies when con-
Quoting his trains, then still more codi-
flying is needed for the laws of this
State. While IL it is physical power
that Mr.. Hcaly lacks, then the c., c.,
C. & 1. r. R., should detail an organ
lied police force of sufficient size to en-
force good order under any circumstan-
ces, to accompany his trains, to compel
good behavior or 10 expel the disorder
ly from the train. A butter refrigera-
tor car attached to the train would also
be a valuable addition, so that the af-
fiicted ones might have the benefit Of a
s'cooler" atmosphere until their fevered
brains could convalesced to condition
rendering them fit for the society of the
decent.
In one instance Mr.. Healy, when re-
quested to stop the vulgar, profane, in
decent and unchaste conduct and Ian
guage Of q certain ruffian from La
Grange, calmly shook his head and
passed on out of the car. The conse-
quence was that Charlie was allowed to
continue his heaihenish conduct until
about three o'clock Friday morning,
making night hideoas to all in the car
who were not of his class, when the
liquor which he had been drinking
took favorable effect and laid him in
the arms of s'tired Natures sweet re-
storer," whose loving embrace kept
him quiet until broad daylight, and
after the contents Of the lunch basket
had been pretty generally examined.
Another indecency committed In a
general manner, was that of converting
every car In the train into a smoker, to
a greater or less extent, and in every
coach one could find the sweet perfume
arising from a collection of from two
or three cigars to that many dozen. The
la,lies and others on board to whom the
smoke might be disagreeable, could
stand on the platform or make the best
Of it inside the cars. When a regular
smoking car is attached to the train
those who must indulge In smoke should
be obliged to enter it, and not contami.

of the train with the foul odor of the
stinkinR weed.
These things should be revolutionized.
Until this is done, and until belt ,r, Or
der is preserved on the train, no excur-
sion can be considered a perfect sue
cess, nor safe place for any lady, un-
less accompanied either by an escort or
a revolver. ANDRUs.

We know of nothing SC we'll calculated
to put the reading public out of humor as
to begin very interesting account of some
scientific discovery, replete with interest,
and just as the reader s mind is thoroughly
imbued with the subject, and q gigantic
effort being made to grasp it in all its
bearings, away goes the author in praise
Of some patent medicine or new-fangled
hair-renewer; for instance, CARBoLINE,
which, by the way. is an article of genuine
merit, and has really done wonders in the
hair-producing way, as hundreds of GER
tifcates from wellknown citizens amply
testify. 1t is cleanly, and so penetrating
that the disease is reached, and q radical
change for the better takes place almost

etary interest Of the stockholders of a
corporation standing up to absorb or
control the common interest. The
measure of that interest has now At
tanned q magnitude in millions, some
twenty-five per cent. greater than al!
the capital of the banks Of the metrop-
oils, being In the aggregate eighty
seven millions of dollars. It il the
largest financial corporation known to
exist, its policies outstanding securing
life insurance equal in amount the en-
tire issue of the national bank currency
afloat."
The constant increase of this incom-
parable success Is still further accounted
for by the reduction of premium rates
which the Mutual put in force some
thing like year ago. and which ena.
bles 1t to give insurance of the most un-
questioned safety at the lowest known
figures.
Poverty aud the willingness to- run
heavy risks for light gain have caused
the death, or, at any rate, the asPhyx-
iation OF brave man. He was Q diver
by profession, and was employed for the
munifcent sum of $40, out Of which he
had to pay his assistants, to attach Ca
BILE to an anchor which had been lost in
recent collision in the harbor. A large
and powerful man, his armor was pro-
portionstely weighted to cause him to
sink readily. He had been down two
minutes, when the air pipe, which he
knew to be weak, but was too poor to
replace before his last decent, burst
with q loud report. His comrades
hauled him up very quickly, and frant-
ically dashed off the glass mask under
which he was suffocating. He gasped
heavily, and then, as they thought, ex-
pired. According to some physicians
the case was by no means hopeless, but
it was 50 thought by the bystanders, and
no attempts at resuscitation were made.
On the contrary. the remains were i'm
mediately placed in an ice-box, where
all possibilities of revival were Of
course at once extinguished. Since tho

Mr.. Fernando Rice is erecting q

who left our town last Fall TO try their
fortune in the Lone Star State. are
both down with the ague.
Mr.. Bruce McAdoo starts to day for
Missouri, with the intention of moving
out there if he is suited with the coun-
try.
We learn that our Band will attend
the contest at Troy. We have not
heard what prize they will enter for.

General Garfeld's personal appear
ance il q dood deal changed since twen-
~ or even ten years ago. He is as un-
embarrassed and unconventional on the
rostrum as II there were 10 arbitrary
customs to which younger orators defer.
He is growing bald, and his closely
trimmed, but unshaven beard is slightly
gray. His tall and somewhat portiy
figure seemed little disproportioned to
the short sack coat, into whose pockets
he frequently thrust his hands; and his
full blue eye and good-humored youth
full face had little Of the gravity and
concern of one who has often stood In
the heat of conflict, and all his life been
dealing with grave problems. But If q
speaker has q good deal to say. and
know, how to say it forcibly and well,
how little do his hearers need the small
accessories that to the amateur declaimer
are SO much.
General Garfield has o wonderful MEM
ory, and such thorough knowledge Of
political history, that with ready mind
and fearless directness in making
point, he is thoroughly master of the
situation and well equipped for any
amount Of campaign work. His speech
was enthusiastically received. and list
tened to as he said with magnificent at
tention." He was SO logical and truth
full that we could not see how any intel
ligent Democrat could resist his conclu'
sions.

ELYRIA.

August IL, 1879.
There is . great deal Of sickness pre-
vailing in town nov among children.
Several deaths have occurred, mostly of
cholera infantum.
The funeral of Mr.. George Adams,
formerly Of this place, but late of Chat
tanooga, Tenn, took place yesterday
from the N. E. Church.
The Good Templars, and the n. E.
Church and Sunday School give their an
nual excursion and picnic at Vermillion
next Friday.
A good many of our citizens are at
Lakeside and Chautauqua; and a large
number went to Ridgeville yesterday TO
attend the camp meeting in that place.
Elyria will soon have . colored camp
meeting. We were in hopes that the
managers would fail in securing grounds,
but it appears that they have succeeded.
W. fail to see any benefits or good
fruits to be derived from these gather
ings.
Our hose company won the second
prize at the Amherst tournament. The
hooks claim that they were cheated out
OF the second money in the hook and
ladder race. Those Of our citizens who
attended the tournament for the purpose
OF hearing Ewing speak, pronounce his
effort BY Tar the most discouraging and
weakest ever known in the county. The
enthusiasm would not compare with that
OF Greenback convention in one Of the
jury rooms Of our old court house. Out
OF about 5000 people present, less than
two hundred rallied around the standard
bearer. His reception at Oberlin on the
evening was less fattering.
1t is the universal verdict that the late
Republican convention held in this
place, was by far the most successful
and enthusiastic held for years. The
Republicans of Elyria are wide awake
politically. They propose to have some
thing like court house majority next
Fall.
The grounds are about half broken for
the new court house, and the temporary
building for the use of the county officers
being constructed in the square is nearly
completed. The old court house will be-
vacated this week, and will be torn down
at once. Mr.. Richardson, the builder,
gave 500 for it.
The Amherst quarries got up corner
on stone and lost the contract. Hence
the terrible "squeal" in that section.
