"A MUASDE1S DlSCLOSED IN "A DREAM
From the Springfield Republican,


Isaac Randolph, the negro who
murdered his wife at New Haven in
the spring of 1856, gives notice that he
will apply to the next Legislature for
a release from State prison. to which
he was sentenced for life. The mur-
der created great sensation and the
story of it is very interesting. He
killed the woman with a washboard
during quarrel,and probably did not
intend to strike fatal blow. After
the murder, Randolph cut the body up
and buried it in his garden, planting
corn and beans over the spot. Sever
al days after, Robert Coe, the father
of the missing woman, related with
great imprcssiveness, the particulars
of dream which he had on three sue
cessive nights. He said that Mary
Ann came to him crawling on her
hands, and that when he asked her
why she did not walk, she replied that
she could not, for her legs had been
cut of. Each night she appeared to
him ON the borders of small brock
which ran at the foot of the garden.
At last the garden was examined, and
the body was found.

How to get the sport and recreation
out of dancing, without getting any of
the evil effects SO intimately entwined

Rev. Mr.. Bushnell in a sermon on

christians do not need recreations of
this kind. Their minds should be
filed with something better and high.
er, SO they would not relish sports of
this kind. Mr.. Van Cott advised his
wife, when he was just leaving this

dren it would be much safer that to
try to guard a worldly practice from
evil influence. The best way to guard
against the evil consequences con-
nected with it, is to avoid the practice
altogether. 1t is easier never to learn
than to leave off after you have COM
menced. This was the correct theory
Of John Wesley. He would not allow

bling and speculation, and the incessant
drain OF interest to three times the amount
Of the national accumulations, has de-
ranged all values and crippled all indus
tries. 1t has always been so, and always
will be, until industry itself has absolute
control of the currency, and IAN exclusive
banking oligarchy has been swept away.
The great obstacle in the way Of inan-
cial and labor reform, lies in the inequit-
able arrangement Of society itself Its
diversities into labor and capital, employ
ers and employed, lenders and borrowers,
generate a chaos Of opposing interests, and
another. Men may clamOr for and against
contraction and expansion, and tinker this
thing and that, but it is all ultimately
found to be labor in vain. A ship that
leaks in more water than can be pumped
out must 20 to the bottom; and our pres
ent social and industrial system, which
sucks from industry more than can be
pumped out of labor, must naturally sink
under the weight of its monopOlies, extor
tions and tyrannies.


labor currency is the natural currency,
and the only equitable currency. 1t is .
currency that represents cost more fully
than any other. But only labor itself has
the right to fix its own value, and labor
must demand the same right to the use Of
currency that capital has, for labor is the
ultimate security for all loans, and the
power that rrpays them.

great question Of social reconstruction and
the reorganization Of industry is knocking

sion and examination. 1t will be heard,
despite OF hostile papers and politicians.

whelm all opposition. A free and inde-
pendent labor will form the foundation Of
the republic during its second century,
else there will be no republic and no lib

ON THE SUBJECT.


During the visits Of the HERALps reporters 10 the
Church Of the Pilgrims, Dr. sorrs'i the Clinton
nue. Dr. Budingon's, and the Park Congregational
Rev Matthew Hale Smiths, yesterday morning and
evening they found the members OF these prominent
churches OF the Congregational denomination IN Brook
lyn somewhat changed regarding the usefulness
OF Plymouth's Advisory Council; but the majority still
hold tenaciously TO belief in the necessity for a
national council for the satisfactory settlement OF the
questions under consideration and for the future
government Of the denomination in the United Staes


1t must be understood that the persons interviewed
in tho churches named not the pastors those
who could be considered represnting the congreca
tions in regard to Plymouths trouble Among these
there antagonstic expression to the proceed
ings OF the Advisory Council Among them the hope
is very generally entertained tha, the Council will
come to such results or make such recommendations
that the unhappy Plymouth business may be removed

would have had more influence had there bccn of
the strong men Of the denomination present or had
there been fewer Of Mr. Bocchor avowed partsaus on
the Judgment seat. And vet there is believed be
strong conservative element shown TO be present,
which promises TO make such disposition OF the case
as Will meet the approval generally Of iar-inindcd men,


The history Of the case shows, they claim. that no
settlement can be hoped iOr nor Will the public mind
be qnc, until all is told that be oid-un all speak
who have anything vital 10 say. In this connection
there is feeling which il is thought the pastors of two

ing they express regret-vcry deep rcgretthat Rev.

They further declared that It was imperative on Mr.

dcnce when called upon 10 DO so, and that he ought
be prepared to give direct testimony II nc has any, and
