From Our Own Correspondent, NEw YoRg, Oct. 17, 1872, It would be hard to determine whether THE CmcAco TrBUNE or the New York Tribune is the more misrepresented-during the present canvass, though I am inclined to believe that, on the whole, the latter deserves thedistinction. 'HORACL GREELEY AND THE TRIBUNE. One of the latest and absurdest stories, is that the stockholders of the Tribune here have held a meeting and determined to throw K.ot» ace Greeley overbosrd to save their drowning ship. This tale comes, of course, from an Ad- ministration organ, which takes for granted Greeley's defeat, and informs its readers into what s financial panic the members of the Trib- wne Association have been thrown by the Penn- sylvania and Ohio elections. . There is something very droll in the ides of the Tribune stockholders expelling the man who made the Tribune, and has been the Tribune for more than thirty yesrs. It is 28 as if the Harlem & Hudson River Railway officials should talkof ousting Cornelius Vanderbilt, who owns ‘both them and the roeds. Horace Greeley was never more firmly fixed in the good graces of his fellow-stockholders than he is at this moment, I he is beaten in November, he will, doubtless, resume his temporarily-vacated editorial chair, and continue the hard and honest work he has ‘been engaged in since early boyhood. Judging from what I have heard, he will have no regrets if he shall be defeated, and he will be especially glad that the paper he controls les thrown off Forever all party trammels. It is odgi‘by the by, how much more the general public knows of the mind and mood of the Trigrme stockholders then they know of themaelves, E;gr the lnst three jgmthu, I !aa_va been hearin om gossips, quidnancs, and ig- Roramass, hat the: Tribune. Assoctation had determined to do; and yet these fellows have been unkind enough to_arrange matters for the ‘membera without consulting them, or even hav- ing the satisfaction of their acquaintance. 'he death of WILLIAM H. SEWARD ‘brought up, the other day, numerous reminis- ences of tho distinguished statesman from several gentlemen who were diecussin, the melancholy event. Ono of them, who h: known him intimately, and who hnpgened tobe in the city of Mexico when the ex-Secretary of State was sojourning there, told this story to ilinstrate Ar. Sew: iplom: The Governor hsd accepted an iavi dine at the house of a prominent Mexican, and a3 » large company was present, he was called upon, after the removal of the cloth, to makea epeech. Allnding to the undeveloped condition of the country, he ascribed it to the ignorance of the lower orders, h.rfiely canged by the unfor- tunate infiuence of the Roman Catholic Church, which, he said, had ever been opposed to the diffusion of education =mong the masses. Hesupposed that he was addressing Catholica very ].flzeml in their views, and that his host was one of' the most liberal of them all. It hap- ened, however, that the host was au_ardent gltrnmnnmnisb. who, though he understood English imperfectly, understood enough to get at S:e drift of the remarks. He turned crimson with suppressed indignation; and just then a friend of Mr. Seward, seated at his right, sug- gested, sotto voce, that the speech was, underthe circumstances, Bomewhat mapmpmca. Mr. Soward seemed not_to takie the hint; but, after a few moments, he came to afull panse. Then he continned: “{These are the comments Which ‘bigots and the bitter enemies of the Catholic Church make upon it ; but liberal minds as ours are, gentlemen, I s.mhawy to believe, hold no such narrow opinions. \We are conscious of the great and good work the Church has performed, and of the excellent infiuences it exercises upon the uneducated masses, who, but fer it, wonld ‘be without guidance and entirely 'be:nna ‘moral control.” The face of the host resnmed its natural color, and relaxed into a broad smile, as IMr. BSet sat down amid earnest applause. Probably no manof his time was more thor- oughly & diplomat, politically a8 well as socially, Pogn the ex Secrefasy, who dsserves to be called, In that relation. the Talleyrand of TEE BROKEN TRIUMVIBATE. Now that Mr. Seward has gone, before long Thurlow Weed must go too. The old political ‘Warwick continues in feeble health, though his will is as strong and his mind as clear as ever. He is seen occasionally in the vicinity of Print- ing House Squsre, m%lnncu in a while, he drops into the office of the Times or the Commercial Adgertiser, to talk over the questions snd issues of the day. He was 75 years of age last Tues- day, and, as his conatitution and native vigor have been g0 much impaired, it is not in the pature of things thathe should long survive. Whatever the will-power of Thurlow Weed, chronology is against him. < Horace Greeley, the last of this once potent triumvirate, albeit in his 623 year, is_ss fresh and strong as a lusty mountaineer. He hasre- spected the intimation of Nature, given some time ago, that he had abused her, and he has been more respectful of her since. Many men erica. who are less than 40 have not half of his vigor end endurance. I have little doubt he will be at 80 still thundering on the Tribune. The system of POPULAB LECTURING . £0 much in voy neoesau;l{lamea disappoint-~ ment to audiences, Wwhi naturally imag- ine that 8} lecturer has some art of public speaking. In many instanoes, this is a great mistake; for men who think profoundly and write eloquently are often very bad speakers. To lecture is nowadsys merely & mode of exhibit- ing oneself ; and yet it is ‘{l:umt, even after vou have seen ajperson of distinction, to be able tohear what he says and tohave him asyit agreesbly. JAMES ANTHONY FROUDE is an example of a gifted author without capac- ity to lecture, or even talk. Those who listen to his very clever discourses, as written, cannof ‘but regret his unfortunate manner of delivery. He speaks in a very lowtone, mumbles his words, articulates wretchedly, and has a nervous, in- coberent, balf-distronght way, that is the op- posite of interesting. THE WORST OF SPEAKERS. = Of how many other lecturers may not this, or eomething like this, be eaid? As arule, the English uennqnesfiunablg the worst speakers on the planet. It should be 2sserted to their credit that they ate fully aware of the fact, and to their discredit that very: fow of them would spesk any better if they could. They are not only without the slightest oratorical ability them- selves, but they have an.ardent prejudice against men possessed of the ability,—even re- garding them, to & certain extent, as charlatans and mountebanks. They despise the graces snd fluency which constitute oral o~ public man who, in uence ; and any oo ing of his career, Coud and vo:id talk in England to his constit- uenta as Julins Cissr or Marc Antony talked to the Romans, wonld doubtless be summarily ex- tinguished; pronounceed a rhetorical quack and & verbal trickster. T remember, not loog 2go, that Bulwer Lyt- ton, at a dinner in London, told an American, sitting next while the toasts were reading, that the British had less understanding or a) preciation of oratory than any peopleunder the bun. This was true enough; but the noted novelist forgot to add that, of all the bad speak- ers in Great Britain, be Limself has been, is, and will be to his dying day, supereminently the worst. A DEJECTED HISTORIAN. Speaking of Froude, it is said that he called, the other day, on a gentleman in Lexington ave- nue,—the flmiliwu extremely fashionable,— and impressed the servant who answered the ‘bell so unfavorably by reason of his attire, 88 to receive an answer that Mr. Blank was nob in. Half an hour afterward tho gentleman of the housé inquired of the domestic in charge of the door if any note or:card had come from Mr. Froude, who should have been there before. The servant—a M.\iesxu:i of conree—replied that = sorry-looking chap had been there; had said his name was %tsu and that he locked so much like s fraud, he ‘sint. him, be jabers, about his business.” Mr. Froude paints fine historic pictures with his pen; but candor compels mo to admit that Do would never be mistaken for. a Regent-trest swell or a Brosdway dandy. *. . * AN ANUSING INCIDENT is reported to have occurred at the Academy of Music on the last evening Pauline Lucca sang in *Fra Diavolo.” 1Inthe bed-chamber scene, where Zerlina places herself before the mirror and proceeds to disrobe, while einging a viva- cious and coquettish aria, a Peorian and his wife Jooked on from ome of the frontseatsof the pxnrqueb with evident amazement and confu- sion. 1t is highly probable that the mar was not an Rabitue at the opers, and that he was_altogather ignorant of Auber's composition. He was seen to whisper several times to his consort, and then to cast E.is eyes about the house to determine how the audience received such s palpable im- propriety on the part of the prima donna. He ew very norvous and fdgety, and finals, whon Gertina rumoved Bor bodice, he jumped Up, and Swas heard by those near him to remark: Gomo along, mother; the opery is a confounded sight worsethan I thought it was. I had no idee women undressed themselves in this way, and that all the big-bugs of New York would sit still and look at it ag if it wasn't nuthin’. I don't make much pretenco myself ; but, outin Illinois, they v;rouldni call this kind o thing even de- cent.” THE RIVAL WARBLERS, Pauline Lucca's great success here, and the decline of Clara Kellogg's popularity, though without any good reason, have created much ill- feeling in the American prima donna's ors against the German =artiste. Lucca is not to blame if the public cares less than it once did to hear Kellogg,—she sings better than ever since her return from Europe, and yet go unwise and Tunjust are many of Rellogg's friends, that they are angry enough to hiss Taeca, and would be glad, doubtless, if she could be driven from the stage. Maretzek hoped to placate everybody bv engaging the two singers; but, nnromxmtaly, his discretion and generosity have had exactly the opposite effect. He who would have a ‘peaceful life should let Italian opera slone. CorsTous. T TR ORIENTAL LITERATURE. ORIENTAL AND LINGUISTIC STUDIES. THE VEDA, TaE AVESTA, THE SOIENCE OF LANGUAGE: By William Dwight Whitney, Professor of Sanskrit and Comparative Philology in Yale College. New York : Scribner, Armstrong & Co. 1 vol, 12mo. 417 pages. The published work of so scholarly an aunthor as the Professor of Comparative Philology in Yale College could not fail to attract the stten. tion of educated readers, but especially would it dogoin view of the increased interest with which thoughtful people are beginning to regard Oriental religion and languages, as capable of throwing new light on modern religious ideas and modern speech. It is scarcely seventy years -gince the Vedas, the sacred Scriptures of the Brahmans, were in- troduced to the knowledge of even the scholars of Eunrope, and but little over a century since the very existence of these most ancient writ- ings, and also of the Vedio and Brahmanical | literature that has accumulated around them, wes doubted by the learned men of Christen- dom. - The stody of Oriental history and languages is the study of Oriental religion, for the three are, in fact, one; hence, Professors of the new geience of Comparative Philology naturally be- come expounders of the ancient religious ideas. The impress which these studies have made upon modern . thought is ap- parent in the fact that Buddhist citizens of London actually maintain the reasonableness, and even thedivine nature, of the principles of their religion, in controversial correspondence in the Times newspaper. In America, also, we have instances of one well-known literary man delivering, in the form of a lecture, an enlogy on the character { of Buddhs, and one of the fore~ most Unitarian preachers—Orville Dewey—ex- plaining that the Buddhist doctrine of annihila- tion after death is only the same as the Ohris- tian idea of unselfishness carried to the extreme of self-oblivion. The last half of Professor Whitney's book is devoted to the origin of language,—a question involved in as much doubt, but invested with the same interest, aa the question of the origin of the human species. ‘‘The grand conclusion,” says the Professor, “at which historical study has surely and incontrovertibly arrived, is, that all grammatical apparatus of langusge is of secondary growth; that the endings of declen- sion and conjugation, the prefixes and suffixes of derivation, were originally independent words, ‘which were first collated with other words, but then combined and thoroughly fused with those. to which they were attached.” Finally, that the traceable beginnings of speech wers *‘simply roots, not parts of speech.” These arguments point to the gradual developmentof human speech from rude, brief articulations, mere “roots,” forming & vocabulary so scanty 23 fo e searcely worthy of the name of language. The essay on Language and Education is re- plete with the ripeobservation of one whose life- work hasbeen to show the importance of lan- guage as a means of culture. But that his views have not been narrowed by his own profession, is shown in the argument that a man who knows no langnage but his own may still have all the essentials of culture. The five or six essays on the Vedas and the Avesta of the Parsees can scarcely fail to inter- est any thoughtful person who has marked the tendency of modern religious thought. Professor ‘Whitney eets forth, in & concise form, the scope of the discoveries of Colebrook, Rosen, Roth, Muir, Goldstucker, Anquetil-Duperon, Burnouf, and, lastly, of that foremost of living Orlental scholars, Professor Max Muller, in the new mine of literature. Among the most interesting points made are the intimate connection between the Vedas and the language and doctrines written in the Avesta, the sacred book of the Iranisns, or ancient Persians. Brahmanism was founded on the Vedas; Buddhism was a popular revolt, or reaction, from Brahmanism.- The Avesta reproduces the Buddhist doctrine of annihilation, but with the modification that it is only the soulsof unbeliev- ers and ovildoers that arelost,or annihilsted, while the souls of the good pasaawsy beyond the east- ern mountains to the home of Indra, the God of all gods. Another point is, that the transmigra- tion of souls, whichis the characteristic doctrine of Brahmanism, is not even hinted at in the Vedss upon which Brahmanism is founded ; on the contrary, that the Vedas teach the doctrine of & fature life of happiness, st least for the good ; and it is one of the most difficult ques- tions in the history of India how that doctrine arose. But this, as well as tho Budd- ‘hist doctrine of annihilstion, accepted still by nearly one-third of the human race, bear the stamp of an elaboration and a subtle refinement of thonght which show that, nearly thres thonsand years sgo, the Hindu mind had traversed a route of speculative philosophy similar to that which characterizes the present tendency in Europe and America, and of which we ses evidences in the popular books on development theories and the “to-morrow of death.” Modern study of the Vedas and the Avestais ehowing us that, in tracing any of the great religions back to their starting points, we find & few of the same fundamental ideas a8 the germs of each, viz. : Beliof in a God who i8 the author of all good; in & future life, mainly of enjoyment, except when man himself consents to the evil that destroys either the soul or its happiness. Upon these foundations have grown up creeds like Brahmanism and Buddhism, that are di- ractly contradictory of the ideas from which they started. A Curious Story, The Middleville Courity, Mich.) Repub- Tican tells & cufinnfigg a8 to the cause which Iod J. R. Van Velsor, the absconding Prosecuting Attorney of that county, to the perpetration of the mortgage forgeries. On the forgeries being detected Van Velsor, it is snid, offered to make restoration as far a8 possible by deeding his vic~ tims all the property he owned, and in account- ing for the missing money stated that he had used it to help his brother, Dr. Van Velsor, of | he b Hastings, out of a serious difficulty into which got himself in Minnesots, where be formerly lived. His story is, in ef- fect, .that a .gick man under the doctor's charge died very suddenly, between whose young wife and the doctor there had been unusual inti- macy; that examinction had developed strong .suspicions of poisoning; that they had, a8 they augposed, }lrrocumd the removal of the patient's ody to a place where it could not be traced; but. the detectives were too sharp for them, having followed. and taken_the body from the coffin while in transit, substituting for it something else of about the same weight; that, thereafter, a stranger calling himself a detective waite upon J. R. Van Velsor and wanted $2,000, or the body of the doctor; and that he paid the money dex?é\nded, and something mors, to seitle the matter. P =S A CONSUMMATE VILLAIN. His Career of Crime—Perpetration of Four Murders. From the Philadelphia Telegraph, Oct,17. _ Sheriff Heikel, of Dauphin County, left Har- risburg this morning, having in custody Eman- vel Shaffner, about 28 consummate a villain ag has everescaped the gallows, who beomes an inmate of the Eastern Penitentiary for the re- mainder of his natural life. £ Shaffner was = farmer, uwninfi and living on & small tract of land aboué ten miles from Harris- burg. Heisabout 50 years of age. of small stature, and exceedingly repulsive in appearance. The first murder which he committed in point of time, but the last discovered, was that of his wife Sarah, nes Seitzer, with whom he had lived for nesrly iwenty years before he commenced the trade of poisoner. On the 4th of September, 1869, Sarah, bis wife, died sud- denly. Susan Cassel, who figuros in these hor- rible tragedies from the heginning to the close, was an inmate of his house and his familiar cqxfnpmian at the time of the death of Barah, his wife. . He seems to have balanced for some time in ‘his mind whether he should teke Susan for a second wife, but, nine months after, he married Nancy Good, whose chief attraction to him was the possession of $4,000. 1In this way he goba new wife with the coveted money, and retained his old companion, Susan Cassel, 1In the spring of 1870, John Sharlack, the sec- ond victim, went to his house and made the fatal acquaintanco of Susan Cassel. On the 18th of August in the same year he married her, Sussn romainirg in the house of Shaffner and receiv- ing her husband 23 a casual visitor. Through tho solicitations of Susan and Shaffner, John Sharlack had an ineurance effected on his life for 32,000, in the neighboring town of Annville, Lebanon County. On ons of Sharlack’s visits to Susan, in Feb- ruary, 1871, the host administored to him a dose of arsenic, of which he kept a considerable sup- ly on hand. During Sharlack’s brief illness affner was assidnous in his attentions, regu- :larly administering tho Poison and waiting with cruel intentness its fatal effects. On tho 17th- of Feb Sharlack died, and on _the 19th was buried. Thatno time might be lost, Shaffner started to Annville two days after the funeral for the insurance money of two thousand dollars. After some delay the money was paid to Susan, who turned it over to_Shailner. At this time there were some negotiations about a similar in- surance on the life of Shaflner's eccond wife. But the unhappy woman, with the fate of Shar- lack before her eyes, had & presentment that there was foul plsy in the insurance business, and steadily objected to the arrangement. Nancy Shaffner was the last victim. She was an amiable and worthy woman, from all accounts —much too good for Bhafiner and his associa- tions. After a hard struggle she succeeded in driving Busan from the house on the death of John Sharlack. But she was already doomed. After waiting for some months soasnot to crowd the deadly work, and throw open too wide a door for the suspicions of his neighbors, the poisonor resumed his trade. On the 5th of June, 1871, Nancy was takensuddenlyill. On the 8th Shaff- ner called in a physician, who treated her for chol- ora morbus. Day by day Shaffner pursued his flendish work, administering the poison whilo Te- morselessly and cruolly watching the terrible sufferings of his victim until her death on the ‘morning of the 11th of June. In both the cases of John Sharl: and Nancy, the prisoner finished his work in precisely gix days from the time of administering his first-dose. On the day after the death of Nancy, the wife, Susan Sharlack agoin made her appearance o} Shaff- ner's house, and took her place as its mistress. But, now that Shaffner wes in o position to en- joy life, dreadful rumors soon began to spread among his noighbors and destroy his_comfort. The sudden death of three persons in his house within so short a time, in the same manner, and under such strange circumstances, awakened suspicion. The murmurs soon arose to a elamor for his arrest and the exbumstion and examina- tion of the bodies. On the 80th of September the body of Nancy Shaffner was exhumed in the presence of her Foiaonsr and & number of neighbors. Havidg earned that tho body was to be taken up, the ghoul went to the grave some nights before, broke open the coffin, thrust his hand into the mouldy face of the corpse, and convinced him- gelf that the crime could not be discovered. Hence his stolid composure whils st&nding in the graveyard on the morning of the 30th, watching t{e exhumation. Some days after, the bodies of his first wife, Sarah, and of John Sharlack ware exhumed. ~On cheruical analysis; the stomachs of all of them were found to con- tain arsenical poison. That of the first wife, of whom he made shortest work, contained the most arsenic. On the 16th of October, Emanuel Shaffner was arrested and committed for trial. He was tried and convicted of the murder of his second wife, Nancy, and condemned to death, but appeal was taken to the Supremo Court, and a new trial ordered to be ted him. On Mon- day last the prisoner was brought into Court and leaded gm]z of murder in second degree to he three indictments for the Lilling of his two wives and John 8harlack. This ples was ac- cepted by the District Attorney, on the ground that it was “saving money to the county” by avoiding & long tril The Court thonght that this looked like a * compromise” with the mur- derer, but sllowed the plea to be entered, as the confinement would be of euch length sa to pre- vent the criminal from doing further harm, He then, without delsy, procesded to pronounce son- tencs of imprisonment for thirty-six years in the Ponitentiary—twelve years on each indictment. The whole thing was done with such suddeness 88 to affect the spectators with the most pro- fonnd satonishment. 1In addition to the threevictims whom Shaffner confesses that he murdered, there is another deed of blood clearly tracod to him—that of a soldier who placed his ‘bounty money—$400—in Shaffner's hands for safe-keeping, and who died ‘under very suspicious circumstances shortly af- ter his return to claim it. ‘While undergoing confinement at Harrisburg, Bhaffner protended to be very sanctimonious, sssumed a high moral tone in his conversation, and was particularly fond of reading a tract enti- tled “ A Brand Plucked from the Burning.” On being sentenced to the Eastern' Penitentiary he immediately began preparations for the change in his abode, being _especially anxious to bring with him to Cherry Hill a collection of seeds, wherewith to carry on farming operations on the g?n!.l afiula permitted by the garden attached to s cell. B e — The Sea~Swallow and the Fishermen. An interesting association exists between the gea-swellows and tho fishermen of Lake P: geri, in Lapland. In tho centro of this lake is an island, on which the fishermen build their huts in summer. At early dawn the swallows !;e.tber round these huts, and their cries admon- sh the occupants that it is time to begin the dey’s work, The boats are hardly loosened from their moorings when, the birds start out to finda epot where the fish are abundant. The boatmen are governed entirely by the movements of the swallows. When the birds stop and redouble their cries, the fishermen know they have found & 8pot where they will be repaid for their labor. They hasten forward, cast their nets, and soon have the satisfaction of finding them well filled. In accordance with the old maxim, that the labor- er is worthy of his_hire, the swallows receive their share of the booty. Every fish that tho fisherman throw up in the air is gracefully caught by the birds ; and, indeed, they are so tame that they sometimes come into the boats and help themselves ont of thenets. 1If onespot becomes non-productive, the birds lead the way to another. Toward evening men and birds re- turn to the island, and the birds hasten to clear the boats of the share left behind for them by the fishermen. Beecher Outwitted. Sometimes witty men get ‘‘come up with.” At a certain eanitarium in which Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was spending the summer, Thursdsy evening was devoted to fun-making. There were several clergymen staying at the place, among them a spruce and elderly little doctor of divinty, whose dignity and dress were absolytely ,up~ rufled. Nobody dreamed that it was possible to take any liberties with him until one Thurs- dey evening, when Mr. Beecher seized him and cartied him across the Tond as if he had beena child, setting him tenderly by the fence, The little man smoothed his ruffied dress, and cried out to the lsughing bystanders, “Another in- stance of the trinmph of matter over mind!” S R —Mayor Richmond’s daughter was left a fow moments alone in his office the other day, and, on'a gentleman entering with whom she was acquainted, she promptly asked him what street hewanted paved.—New Bedford Standard. .. PENNSYLVANIA. I3 » The State that Went for LN Grant. ' Some of Its Public Chaps-- Cudge Creeley--Simon Cameron. From Our Oun Correspondent. . WasHINGTON, Oct, 16, 1872. We are in a fair way toget some glimpses of the publio morals and biography of the State which elected a ticket of State officers to trade in pardons, & few days ago. i SOME OF THE RING. Simon Cameron’s son-in-law has beexa arrested end put in the position of defendant in & suit for agtempted bribery and corruption at the election. Bimon's choice for Congress in the Second Dis- tril_:t, where live the cream gociety of Philadel- phis, has been put in Court as & defaulter, and isnowhere i0’ be found. And the. miserable creatures who edit newspapers, and run Union Legues for Simon Camoron, and him only, have a_ought to prevent John W. ‘Forney from doing h_p—earvica to Grant, “respecting,” as he hap- pily describes it, ‘‘the game the Pro-Slavery party tried with my Press in 1860.” IN THE PILLOBY. The Republican party of Pennsylvenia will stand, this time three years, just where the Pro- Slavery perty stood in 1861,—in the pillory of public opinion, fottered down with the weight of sccumulated meanness and wickedness. The party in the State is controlled by an old men full of ignoble years; and the public interest and public epirit, touses figure of Robert C. Bchenck, “have been nibbled to death by pis- mires."” + THE UNIOX LEAGUE OF PEILADELPHIA is possessed by a crew of lazy loafers, army con- tractors, and conspirers against the public good; and the time is approaching when it will be in- dicted in private households as a nuisance, and ‘entered only upon forfeiture of character. A Journalist who has pulled obsequiously at the party-oar these twelve years, like Forney, can see what gratitnde political gervice gets, when, at & singlo challenge of the party-ticket, the Pen- 1tentiary-birds who roost and chirp in this Union- League proceed, under the name of the “‘ Cam puign Committee U. L. of Philadelphin,” to pick out his eyes. THE PAPER OF THIS GANG 1 ia o litile, fidgotty, squirming, truckling con- cern, and it calls upon Grant to banish ¥orney, and allow itself to fill Forney's shoes. Now you could no more find anybody connected with thia Bullelin in Forney’s shoes than you could find a flon in a canal-boat. Forney is at least a man of facuity. Ho confounds politics too much with his busincss, and_allows politicians_to searo him; but he 18 an industrions journalist, 8 personality pleasant to look upon, and in many things cordial ond affectionate. The little fawning, ecraping, half-mado-up infants of charity who play the farce of journalism, the square below him, are not fit for shavings to light fire long enough for him to turn a sen- tence by it. FORNEY AND CAXEROY. . Forney's acquaintance was solicitd by Simon Camaron three years ago, after & long.breach of relations, and the two met at or on tho road to Atlonts, Ga. Cameron wanted to prepare for the impending Senatorial election, and he was sfrnid of Forney. The other editors of the arty in that city, he went in and kicked when- ever ho liked, and they behaved like Smallbones in the presence of Lioutenant Vanelyperken. But Forney he had to entreat. Ho had the bloody chasm concesled from sight, and thoy shook hands over it. Forney does mnot court quarrels at any time, and makes more treaties ont of good nature, with tricksters like Cameron, than thero is any reason for. He re- garded.old Cameron 28 a fixture upon' the State for some little while to corae, and, having avery pardonable love and loyalty for the Common- wealth, he labored to conclude a general peace amongat its public mon, and rehabilitate the politics and public spirit of Pennsylvania. SCENE AT A DINNER-PABTY. He therefore designed, atan early date, to agk ‘‘General” Cameron to meet Governor Curtin and make a truce. Heo took this oppor- tunity at a dinner-party at his own rooms in Washington, when thero were present, as I have heard,- Judge Carter, Zach. Chandler, Becretary Robeson, and several others,—n large table filled. Robeson was on one side of Forney, snd Cameron on the other. After sevaral courses had been served, the talk got around to the Vice-Presidency. 4 “@eneral Cameron,” eaid Forney, * why mBiGght "not Pennsylvania command this honor in 1868 2 <€ Wh{ not?"” said Cameron. * Agreed, Forney! Letusmakeit!™ 01d Bimon's eyes took a wistful light; for he thought Forney meant to indicate himself. ¢ General,” ‘eaid Fornoy, *‘ there is an old ‘War-Governor, Curtin! He is a popular and & 0ood man. Be magnanimous and bury the atchet, and let us, a8 Pennsylvanians, sygggort him!” - ALITTLE PROFANITY. flmd Cameron flung down his napkin and swore ond : 5 “By G—d! that won't do. He shall never have anything in Pennsylvania again. Forney, you're always ising Curtin. He's a d— rascal. He's a thief !” ‘Hold! General Cameron,” eaid Forney. “ Yon forget that Governor Curtin is not hera. He is my friend, and I must ask you to say no more.” “He's & d— roscal,” said Cameron.

The sorvant, by Forney’s orders, refused to admit him. The following ‘day. he called agein, with the same result. He next met 3 cgulnnd, Forney's reporter, in the Capitol lobby. “TLook here,” said Cameron, *“I want to find Forney.” X " “ General Cameron,” said McFarland, ¢ Col- onel Forney does not mean to see you any more.

Prior to this time, Cameron had worked cease- lessly to got up & movement to have the Dawes Resolution expunged from tho House Journal, where the House calls upon President Lincoln to remove Simon Cameron from the Department of War for favoriteism, and cormghon, and waste and misspplication of the public funds. Mean as Cameron is, he_would i $100,000 to zccomplish that end. He had better fund his character and his monoy, and make & lobby onit. 2 THE MAN CREELEY A +was one of his croatures, sent to Congress to revenge Cameron upon the Hon, Charles O'Neill, ‘because O’Neill would not work his s:tmnnge in Cameron's interest. Crecley never drew a sober broath here, spent his time with clerks, nasty police detectives, and women without visible means of sopport. He owes debts all over the city, and has scampered away.

GaTE. e ——— z Piracy Off the Coast of Borneo—Brit- ish Naval Action Against Pirates and Pirate Villages—A Number of Vil= lages Bombarded and Burned. The Overland Straits, Observer, . published at Singapore on the 27th of Angust—to hand by the Iatost mail from India—supplies the followin report of British naval action against pirates an nests for pirates on the coast of the Malay Archipelago: ° ¢ B%;B%?nnnlo Msjesty’s ship Nassau, Oap- tain Chimmo, arrived at Labaun on the8th of” . June from tho Sulu seas,and, -after afew days' atay, left again for f.humifibomooi_-m routéto Singapore.. Bhe reports: The blockading Span- ish men-of-war have withdrawn from Sulu. But & few of the smaller .vessols. continue to cruise about the const and wreak their vengeance on unoffending traders and the fishermen who may. unfortunately fall into their clutches. ““ A boat's crew, with Lieuteuant Grey and Mr. ‘White, of Her Majesty's ship Naseau; while en- gaged in taking bearings on the northeast end of the island of Sulu, atarplace called Carang, were suddenly attacked by a patty of forty.or fifty natives, armed with muskets and spears, and hed to fight their way throngh them to reach the boat, which the pirates tried to take possession of, 8o a8 to cut off their retreat to the ship. Licutenant Grey and oneof the crew ' prayers in a gabbling way; pot on their phylas- teries, and curse every one who.docs not joix in their opinion.” The Rabbis show little snxiety abont spréading scriptural knawledge among the poor, o that little can be expected from a: peo- le 80 neglected more than & piety of formaliam, .One boy signified that he should mot'recognize the Sabbath but for the baked dinner provided for that dsy. Then to other adverse influences which oppose the endeavors of the missionary “we have to add the opposition of low Romanists, who gladly join the Jew in checking the Gospel. Irish zealots and vindictive Jews have been _known to pelt the Christian_visitor beyond the Frncim:is of their filthy habitations.—[From Among the Jews,” in the Evangelical Magazine. “THE LAW COURTS. received soveral spent wounds, and some of the natives were killed and wounded. * Captein Chimino, considering that the na- [ tives must have mistaken them fog Bpaniards, communicated with the people and told them that they were English, and had nothing to do with the Spaniards,and asked them for some explanation of their conduct, but the pirates de- clined to give any, and said_that they would fight. After failing for several days to come to a friendly understanding, Captain Chimmo at length took the Nassau within range of the vil- lages and totally destroyed them. * The Faople ‘who inhabited those villages are a tribe of Balignini pirates, and the chastise- ment they received was not only rejoiced in by the people inhabiting the adjacent islands, but 8lso by the Sultan of Sulu, who expressed the #ame to Captain Chimmo in a letter.” GONE FOR GOOD. Flight of W. B. Borrows, of the Mai= son Doree—His Family Deserted and Left Destitutc—An Infatuation that Led a Man to His Ruin. From the New Fork Sun, Oct. 18. The steamehip Canada for Liverpool carried among hor passengers on Saturday last William B Borrows, tho proprietor of the Maison Doroe. His departure was kept, a_secret from all his 1riends and his family ; and what was on Bunday, & suspicion became & reality when on Monday his wife received a letter -which he hed mailed on the pier just previous to the sailing of the vessel, in which he coolly told her that he was deserting her and hig three children, and that she would never sce him again. Borrows, as the proprietor of the Everett House and Continental Hotel' at Long Branch, and more recently of the Maison Doree in Union | Square, became one of the best known men about town ; and the news_that he had fled fell like athunderclap upon his friends as well ag his family. The facts appear to be these: Bofore purchasing the Long Branch property, Borrows’ profits st the Everett Honse netted him, it is 8aid; above £50,000 per annuin. He drove fast horses, coniracted _extrayagant habits, and the Long Branch purchase, it seon bocame evident, was s load that he was unable to carry. He soon became in- volved, and parted with the Everett House. Then in turn with the Continental, and the Maison Doree itself was seized by the Sheriff, and, when sold, was purchased by Mrs, Borrowe, During this time it was known to his most in- timate friends that Borrows had not only be- come reckless in rogard to "his buginess affairs, but that he had formed an attachment for, an was deeply dovoted to, one Clara Middlator, For this young woman he is gaid to have purchased and furnished a house in Twenty-seventh street, the cost of which was about $80,000. The kmnowl- edge of thia fact was brought to 3irs. Borrows, “and latterly, it is said, they have lived very un- happily together. Borrows was about. to pass throngh bankruptcy, and once or twice, al: though believed to be doing & good business, nnrruwliv)escnyed being dispossessed from the Meison Dores. i Invaati%n:ficns ‘made since Sunday show that Borrows' dight was deliberately planned. Lately Miss Middleton, who accompanied him, disposed of her house and furniture, and for two weeks gm Borrows had been secretly removing his aggage and ° clothing from the house, having, the better to facilitate his plans,” engaged & room at the Rutledgo House, where he packed his trunks. On _Sat- urday last he arose as usual and: at- tended to his duties in his customary way. Avout 1 o'clock in the afternoon he stepped into the bar-room from the office, called for & glass of brandy, and remarking that he was goin&a’nb fors few moments, -entered a siage at the corner of Thirteenth street and pro- ed to the pier of the steamer. At this place he evinced exceeding nervousnees, and a_few. moments before the sailing time he passed down " the gang-plank and _deposited the letter ab!;uve spoken of to his wife in the wharf letter X. Mrs. Borrows, whois a sister of Mr. .Charles Eerner, proprietor of the Clarendon [Hotel, was utterly prostrated by the blow, and has since been confined to her room, under & physician's care. The children, two of whomara girls, are very young. s & It was said that Borrows was financially hope- Tessly involved. To one friend; - physician, i 8aid to owe about 840,000; - received in loans, and to John F. Chamberlin nearly $7,000,. ob- tainedin like manner. . He is also said to_owe to the Fisk estate a large "Sum, obtained from theTate Colonel 88 an accomrodation, and vari- ous large sums to Jeading tradesmen. "At"one time during the past four yearshe was worth about $300,000, and at his flight he. was & wreck both in fortune and crédit. : Mr. Borrows' acquaintance with' Clara Middle- ton began six years'ago, Her friends deny that he gnva her $30,000, and aver that she is wealthy, and that ehe is infatuated with Borrqws. They declare that she has urged-Borrows to go to Eu- rope, declaring that she has”money enough to support them through life. Rk our years 'i?nm accompanied Borrows to Europe, intending never to return, but Bor- rows’ love of New York was strobger ‘than his passion for her. He returned, after spending nine months on the Continent. Characteristics of the London Jews. Of the twenty thousand Jews who reside in London, three-fourths of the number are in- cluded in & small radius from Aldgate Church. Popular notions concerning them are erroneous. They have a thirst for gain, strong and deeply roofed, but their hereditary passion is not grati- fed 8o freely a8 people believe. ‘‘The greaer- partof them are poor, and much destitution revails among them,” eays_s missionary of the orie: ‘‘gome are often in want of the nec- essaries of life, and some are scarcely. able to obtain a sufficiency to support existence. This is most prominent in the ‘case of the Dutch Jows. eir national chiarities. are numerous and very bountiful; buteven they fail to admin- ister sufficient relief.”” Though as s rule even middle class Jews are not remarkable for 'clean- linees, they enjoy’ better average health ‘than their Gentile neighbors, -and evince & strong taste for fine,” showy clothing. Neither are.the. lowest among them so en or 80 licontious 28 the ordinary run of vulgar Englishmen, and the women receive & greater amount of respect. As 2 partial set-off ‘to this honor awarded to the weaker vessel, 8he is accounted greatly inferior to the man, and too often she is suffered to grow in. blank ignorance; a .Hebrew proverb, “Evory one_that teachath his danghter the liw is considered as if he taught her tranagression,” showing the ‘national sentiment in ragnrd to fe- males. - The Jews contemn & swoman's testimo-.| ny, and refuse her & seat.with men in the public congregation. In numbers of instances girls. aro_ purposely foared i totel ignorance, 1650, much a8 a kndwiedge of the ‘alphabet -be- ing comrhunicated. - Even among men’"the standard of education -is not high, ‘not more’ than five in_every hundred being supposed to know Hebrew. th men and women are fond of light amusements, and find much eatisfaction in the theatres, as well aa at the large taverns where_dramstic enerisinments are . provided. The advancement of education during the pres- ent century has led to s wider -expression of opinion ; §o that, while numbers who can judge for themselves reject the suporstition of the Talmud, and advocate reform, others still adhere to the letter of {radition. While, how- ever, we speak about the spread of knowledge in the Hebreyw nation, we may remember that edu- cation progresses slowly among a people whose children, on sttaining the cnimity of earning & shilling a day, are sent to_labar rather than to school. But youthfol Jews among the poor are not universally mneglected; nor does national prejudice entirely exclude them from the benefits of Christian instruction. | Their children are tanght in Christian Sunday schools, and indeed the Jews themselves have copied our csamplo of opening tho Scriptures to outh on the Sabbath, and they also employ Te- igious itinerants among the poor and sick of their own persuasion, The Jews ares sober pe:zfii:, the women being especially circumspect in this matter. ‘* I can not ge Iy memory, " esys & visitor in one district, *‘ with having wit- nessed a single case of a Jewish-wopan under the influence of drink.” A partial attempt is made to honor the Sabbath by perpetuating the Mosaical observances ; but even the Orthodox, ‘who burn two candles on s white cloth during Fridey evening, and who refuse. to work, ; will yet descend to many frivoli- ties. * The ans aro most easy of access, though their seeming liberality, is sometimes rooted in indifference. The Poles ond Dutch are reputed to be the most bigoted. ““They know the Bible,” we are told, ‘say their B NOTES OF INTEREST. . (40,962, Superior Court.)
