Two somewhat remarkable instances
of woman's curiosity overlapping the
bounds of modesty are just now the
subject of much comment. At the Nal
ley trial in New Haven many women
have been constantly in attendance, lis
tening with apparent composure to the
most shocking revelations of immortality.
1t is even related that when witness
described one ludicrous incident in the
downward career of the notorious
Blanche Douglass, "the women roared.''
This disgusting spectacle has parallel
in Syracuse, at the trial of a woman on
the charge of numbering her husband by
poison. Much testimony of a repulsiye
character has been given, and yet, the
Courier says, during the trial the Court
room was daily thronged by women, who
came early to secure good seats. All
classes and ages were represented, from
the old woman of seventy to the slender
misses in their teens. Our glorious civ
ilization is bearing some curious fruit, it
would seem.

ALTHOUGH the st. Gothard Tunnel
was cut through the Alps and completed
in February, 1880. and trains have been
running regularly through it since No
vember, 1881, the great opening" of the
tunnel is postponed until now. The
tunnel is in some respects enc of the
greatest achievements of modern engi-
neering. 1t is nine miles and three
quarters long, cut through solid rock of
great hardness. The improved boring
apparatus and dynamite enabled the en-
gineers to push the work on more rapid
ly than the Mont Cents Tunnel had
been. This is the second victory over
the great icy barrier of the Alps, and
Germany and Italy are brought closer
together. How vastly more important
this than any victory gained by battle
during the past half century! Just now
the coronation of the Gar is postponed
and princes warned not to come to Rus
sia; but to celebrate victory of thil
kind assemblies at Lucerne vast mum
Der of invited guests from all the ma
tions of Europe, and the great achieve
ment will be honored in a dozen Ian
guages. When the tunnel under tn,
English Channel is finished it will seen
a greater feat, but really it will be les
important. The English Channel is

THE ground was broken last week In
Washington for the Garfield Memorial
Church. The old frame has been moved
to a lot near at hand, and services will
be continued there till the new church
is finished. On the morning of the 23d
ult. about thirty members of the church
assembled on their church site, and with
simple and informal ceremony ground
was broken for the new church which
is to commemorate the death of Presi-
dent Garfield. There was no program
arranged for this occasion. The first
spadeful of earth was turned up by Miss
Abbie Power, daughter of the pastor,
and Miss Mamie Bugbee, two little lass
es of four summers each each, who tug
ged bravely at the spade. When they
had turned out clod it was deposited
in wheelbarrow and wheeled away by
Master Harry G. Stier, a youth of six
summers. After this the members of
the congregation present in turn used
the spade, and then made way for the
workmen. 1t is expected that there will
be formal ceremonies at the laying Of
the corner stone.

Atheist Martyrs.

A ridiculous paragraph is going the
rounds of the press stating that Colonel
Ingersoll expects to be shot every time
he goes on the platform by some religi
Gus fanatic. Oh, pshaw Go right on
with your lectures, Colonel: nobody is
going to hurt you. Why, what harm
have you done Christianity, that any
Christian should want to shoot you !
Go on with your lectures. You're q
thousand times safer than any Christian
was when the Bible-haters had the fiooI
in the first and second centuries. That
was the time when the live lions got fat
on religious lecturers, and they weren't
atheist lecturers either. Don't be scared
Robert. 1t isn't your crowd that has
been in the habit of furnishing martyrs
What funny little book the lives and
sufferings of all the men who have died
for their devotion to atheism wonld
make. 1t would be very brief. 1t would
only read, There are no atheist mar
tyrs." All, no. When they had a chance
to be martyrs they hung on to life, and
died natural deaths at the ripe old age
of of ninety or ninety-seven, or some
where around there. And now, when
martyrdom is altogether and entirely
out of fashion, it won do for them tt
affect fear and and willingness for it

The Postage on Newspapers.

Postmaster General Howe, in his let
ter to Congress recommending the abo,
lition of postage on newspapers and
magazines, says: at may well be donbt,
ed if the whole people get as much in
formation of public offairs from the vol
umes gratuitously thrown at them by
the government as they do from the
newspapers and magazines which they
purchase and pay for" The Postmaster
recites other considerations which lead
him to the conclusion that Congress
May at the present time safely abrogate
all discrimination between subscribers
to newspapers and magazines and send
the same through the mails without
charge, whether such subscribers reside
within the county of publication or out
side of it,"

COmmemOrating the Indian Mas
sacre at Gnadenhuften.

Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.J
GNADENHUTTEN, o., May 24.-One
hundred years ago ninety-six Meravian
Christian Indians were barbarOusly
butchered on this spot by a band of
white settlers, and to day this quaint
old Moravian town has been throGged
by thousands of visitors from all parts
of the country, attending the anniver-
sary of this event, which makes mp one
of the darkest and bloodiest pages in
the annals of the whole country. The
day was delightful for the occasion, and
the early excursion trains were frelghted
down with passengers, some of whom
came thousands of miles to attend this
anniversary. Monumental Park, where
the exercises were held, was full OF eu-
riosity seekers and relic hunters early IN
the morning. This park, embracing
about five acres, is now used as ceme-
tery, and near its western border, on the
banks of the Tuscarawas, stands mon
ument erected to the memory of these
murdered Moravians, June Is, 1872. 1t
is carbeniferous limestone of a light
brown color, it is thirty-six feet high,

Remembered Music.

Before her mind went out to sea
My little wife she said to me:
Come down, dear man, and hear me
touch
The chords you used to love so much;
The dust that gathers on the keys
Will suit my old-time melodies"
Thus said my little wife to me
Before her mind went out to sea.
Before her mind went out to sea
She put on gay attire for me;
Her hands, inspired by some soft spell,
Gently upon the keyboard fell,
And oh, the chords the touch awoke!
What far, far whispers in them spoke,
AS played my little wife to me,
Before her mind went out to sea!
Before he mind went out to sea
My little wife turned round to ne:
81 think you know this tune" she said
She'd played it first when we were wed
"And this ?" I'd known it ere her hand
So slender now-an octave spaHned.
All, woe! those pangs of melody
Before her mind went out to seal
Before her mind went out to sea
My little wife thus played to me;
A pallid touch, remote, subdued,
But flushed to me with maidenhOOd;
A simple song, far-off chime,
A broken chord, a dropping rhyme
And so our lifetime's symphony
Said out my little wife to me.
DafO ha nd aof mt t1
Thus dreamed my little wife to me:
And as she dreamed dreamed again
OF school-day loiterings in the lane,
OF love that peeped at love that sighed
OF love that would not be denied;
Oh, lovel how played my wife to me
Before her mind went out to sea!
Before her mind went out to sea
She fondled thus with memory,
Till every touch glowed pink witt
CLEANS
Of younger loves bewitching dreams;
Avoiding still the Sterner rhymes
That hint of darkened, sOmber times,
For she was pitiufl to me,
Before her mind went out to, sea.
Before ner mind went out to sea
My little wife she played to me.
With never moan nor never sigh,
But always love-look in her eye
Oh, God the sob that shook my breast!
"Dear love-" she whispered, "let me
restp
Her lips to mine she pressed for me,
And then her mind went out to sea!

Here Triamphed in Death
Ninety Christian Indians
March s, 1882.
"GNADENIIUTTEN.

Gov. Foster and d. A. Hollingsworth,
who was the orator of the day, arrived
on the morning Pan Handle train from
the east, and were escorted by the Gnad-
eHhutten Band and NewcomertOwn Sol
diers' Association to the park, where the
ceremonies were conducted, and on the
arrival of the train from Columbus, with
Chas. Townsend and other distinguished
guests, procession, headed by the New
comerstown Soldiers Association ana
the Gnadenhutten, Newcomerstown, anu
Gilmore bands, marched to the grounds,
where a touching address OF weleeme
was delivered by the venerable Bishop,
n. J. Van Week, of the Moravlan
churh, after which an anthem was rem
dered by the chOirs, and recess was
had for refreshments. After dinner
Senator d. A. Hollingsworth delivered a
lengthy and eloquent oration, IN which
he recounted the history OF the early
Morayian settlements on the Tuscaraw-
as and gave minute details of the fear
ful tragedy committed on this spot over
100 wears ago, in which ninety-slX Chris
tians fell victims to the bleod-thirsty
crueIty cf the white man. After selec-
tions of music by the choir and the vari-
ous bands, Gev. Foster delivered short
address, alluding in his remarks to the
great historicalS interest connected with
the centennial anniversary observed
here to-day, and also referred to the ter
r;hle effect the massacre had on intiu-
encing the peaceful Indians in the Tus-
carawas Valley to take up the toma-
hawk and renew hostilities on the white
settlers. After the Governors address
short speeches were delivered by Seere-
tary of State Townsend and State Audi
tor Oglevee. with other distinguished
guests, and the vast assemblage was then
dismissed with the benediction.
Among the interesting guests here TO,
day were three Indians, Stone Fish and
wife and Jacob, of the Delaware tribe:
They are lineal descendants of one OF
the murdered families, and come from
New Fairfield, Canada. Heckwilder $

father, Col. Vance, was one OF Wiiilam-

bloody tragedy. The gathering was one
of the largest ever assembled in Eastern
Ohio. The attendance was varlousiy es-
timated at from 10000 to 15,OOO.

of the fact that for years the Democrat
ic party has proclaimed in favor of free

vote, we deliberately left the lowlands
of political expediency and mounted to

Well, we've taken away the last and on

Ohio is debating State. In our cam
paigns we fill every school house in the
land with speeches. Now, how can a
Democrat Justify the record of his par
ty on this question before the Grangers
in a country school house? A promi-
nent Democrat said to me a few days
ago: MY God, Governor, tell me what
to say in the next campaign. l know
what to say in Cincinnati and Cleveland
about tyrannical interference with per-
sonal liberty; that racket will do for
the beer-garden Germans, but it won't
do for the Grangers of the Western Re-
serve My Democratic friend put the
question very tersely. The Republicans
have splendid issue and they mean to
hold on to it, though at first many were
little afraid to take it squarely."

ONE of the most eloquent and popular
clergymen of Austin, Texas, being about
to ascend the steps leading to his church
a few Sundays ago, was asked by par
TALLY blind old lady, who did not receg-
nize him, to help her up the steps. With
his usual urbanity he complied with her
request. Just as they reached the top
steps she asked him who was going to
preach.
"Parson Smith," he replied, that being
his own name.
"Oh Lordr' exclaimed the cid lady,
"help me down again. I'd rather listen
to man saving wood. Please help me
down again. | don't-eare to go in"
At first the clergyman was inclined to
refuse, but, on reflection, he gently as
sisted her down the steps again, remark
ing as they reached the bottom: "Yod
are quite right, madam. about going into
the church. wouldn't go in either if
was not paid for it. -LHarper's Maya
zine for June.

clination to make things morally and
legally wrong contribute to the public
revenue when justice and good morals
seemed to require it. If it were to act
upon the idea of refusing to derive a
revenue from such source it ought to de-
cline to receive fines for criminal Of
fenses withsthe same emphasis that it
would refuse to collect tax from an OBJ
nOxiOus business. If the tax is laid by
way of encouragement or regulation, it
has the same general object in view with
the fine, not only as it affects the person
taxed and the community, but also in
the use to which the money is devoted.
The statutes of Ohio provide. that fines
in certain cases shall 90 to the school
fund. This may be as legitmately claim
ed to be license of crime, as tax on a
traffic may be said to be license of the
traffic. The taxation of thing
may be, and often is, when police pur-
poses are had in view, means of ex-
pressing disapproval instead of approba-
tion of what is taxed.
If the tax is imposed onl the thing
which is prohibited, the tax law, instead
of being inconsistent with the law de-
claring the illegality, and the taxing by
uniform rule, is in entire harmony
with it's general purposes, and may
sometimes be even more effectsal. Ger
tainly, whatever determinations are
made in taxation ought to be in the di-
rection of making the heaviest burdens
fall upon those things which are obnox-
ious to the public interests, wherever
that is practicable; for no other business
exists which creates as heavy a per cent.
of the taxes as this.
Judge Cooley's opinion dispeses also
of the objection that special tax on
drinking places, or on the traffic, in
fringes on the provision of the Constitu-
tuition that taxes shall be laid by uni
form rule on all property but the pur-
pose of this paper is to set forth his dis
posal of the pretended logic, which has
taken prominent part in political agi-
tation in Ohio, that to tax the traffic in
drinks is to recognize it in some sort as
privilege, to license it, and to make
the State partner in its evil gains and
its guilt.
One would suppose that the eyes of
these would be opened to the unreason-
ableness of their reason, when they see
the drink sellers madly combined to re-
sist taxing law which prohibitionists
oppose because they say it cenfers IA
vor on the drink sellers.-[Cin. Gaz.

THE steamship Alaska of the Guion
line has just made the quickest passage
between Europe and America on record.
The actual running time between
Queenstown and New York was seven
days, four hours and ten minutes. Dur
ing the trip the Alaska was obliged to
pursue the extreme southerly course, in
order to escape the ice near the banks Of
New Foundland, and this somewhat
heightened her voyage. The total num-
Der of miles Travelled after leaving
Roche's Point, near Queenstown, was
2,S72. The passengers were offered the
opportunity morning service on one Sun
day in Queenstown, and afternoon ser
vice on the following Sunday in New
York. Her owners are quite proud OF
the magnificent record which the vessel
is making, and predict that she will yet
make the trip between Queenstown and
New York in little more than six and
a half days.

of this is found in the fact that the
300, ,OOO, 900 francs of stock, one-half of
which is already paid in, is held almost
to franc by Frenchmen, and it stands
forty francs above par. The stock has
never been below par, and NJ. de Lesseps
