Blanchard, who testified to having seen Cullen display & revolver ina saloon on the night of the shooting. THE TESTIMONY CONTINUED. James McWilliams, father of the decensed, testified that the latter died on the 23d of Sep- tember, and was 17 years of age. W Fry testified that he was with Gullen on the night of the shooting ; saw him flourish & revolver ; told him not to ehoot ; eaw_the flash, and ran away to bed, at his boarding-house, No. 42 Monroe street ; Cullen came there to go tobed ; told him it was no place for him; he left ; next saw him ab the police station ; tried to take the pistol away from him when in the saloon. Willism Kenwick testified to baving been present at the shooting ; Doras came running up and asked for the pistol ; don’t know whether or not Cullen gave it to him; saw the flash, and McWilliams fall, but don’t know who fired the shot. B J. W. Duffy testified that he was with Cullen on the street at tho time of the hooting; did not ses Doras or Lynch; saw Cullen have s pis- tol; saw the flash, and the man fall; thoy ran away to witness' boarding-house, where Cullen put on some of witness’ clothes. On cross-ex- amination he stated that he was pretty drunk; they were all pretty drunk ; don’t know what be- came of Doras; has not seen him since.

" he went back, and the Coroner arrested him in front of the house ; he made no effort to get away. This closed the evidence on ths partof the proeecntion. TESTLMONY FOB TEE DEFENCE. J. M. Burnett, living at No. 141 Clinton street, was the firet witness for the defence. He testi- fied that he was in bed on the night in_question between 11 and 12 o'clock, when he was awak- ened by a noise on the street ; got up and looked out of the window ; saw four men on the side- walk ; o of them had & pistol in his hand; heard the shot ; saw & man fall; one of the pn:tzann to No. 135 Clinton street ; three men ¥an toward Monroe street ; was about 160 feet from the spot; thinks the man who fired the shot wore light clothes. On_cross-examination, Mr. Burnett stated that he did not see the man 0 into the house, and is not positive as to the ind of clothes he wore. : John Lynch testified that he was with Cullen, Fry, and Kerwick early in the evenming of tha sffair, in_ s esloon on tho cormer of Madison snd_ Cansal streets, where they layed cards and drank for about an hour; he flafl. before the rest did, and did not eee them sgain ; knows Edward Doras; has seen him h“slu & pistol ; knew Cullen and Fry in Phila- delphisa. ohn J.

ARGUMENT FOR THE PEOPLE. The Court took a recess until 2 o'clock, and, upon resssombling, the case for the people w argned by George McWilliams, Esq., aesisting the State's Attorney in the prosecution. He discleimed prejudice against the prisoner, for whose eitnation he expressed pity, but main- tained that his connection with the killing was clearly proven, thnu%.\ it wes doubtful if any eye saw the shot. By flourishing the pistol be showed a disposition o mse it, while his subsequent flight was the strongest evidence of Exai’lb. The safety of the commaunity demanded t the jury should discharge their duty fear- Iessly in this case. ABGUMENT FOR THE PRISONEB. John Mason, Esq., counsel for the prisoner, followed in & lengthy argument, in Which he Izbored to show that not & scintilla of evidence had been submitted showing that Cullen fired the ehot. He also suggested to the jury that, in ey event, it was gworn by mearly all the wit- nesses for both sides that ~Cullen and his com- ‘panions were all drunk, and that the act, if com- mitted by Cullen, was committed in & condition of maudlin_intoxication, and was devoidof & murderous intent. The darkness of the night, and the _peculiar circumstances of the affair, rendered it impossible to accuratcly determine ho fired the shot, and, €0 long as & doubt re- mained on that point, the jury must give the prisoner the bereft of that doubt. The fact that they ell ran away after the shot was fired was of no weight a8 indicatin; guilt, for all were terrified beson Sontrol. The only eignificant_featurs of this oint wae the fact that Doras did not run away, gug seemingly in order to divert suspicion from bimeelf, remained behind as one of the chief mourners, and gave himself up to the officers, but after the Coroner’s inquest he made his eecepe and fled from the city, though in doing 60 he threw up a situation paying him $5 per day. Why did Doras fiy from thecity? The jury must seriously consider this phase of the case. Mr. Mason then adverted to the public meetings recently held for the purpose of urg- ing the spoedy punishment of criminals, de- nouncing these meetings as attempts to overawe the judicial authorities, and to prejudice juries in advance. At this point he was called to order by the other side, znd_was requested by the Court to proceed no farther on thet line, but to confine himself to the evidence. He resumed by ar- ing that no intent to commit murder ad been shown, the law declaring in- tent to be necessary in order to comstitute crime. Suppose & clear case of murder were proved, the jury were not compelled to fix the penzlty of deatli. Only under the most 2ggravat- ed and atrocious cirpumstances, should the death penalty be inflicted. Toinflict it in this 2ase, would be to perpetrate & wrong for which the jury could never forgive thomselves. Capital punichment was a species of revenge,—a relic of barbarism. The objectof the law should be to reform the criminal, and thereby confera benefit upon socisty. He surrendered the pris- oner into the hands'of the jury, confident that e would receive a just and merciful considera- tion. The address'was one of John Maeon's finest efforts, both in_rhetoric and argument, and was listened to with intense interest by the jury and spectators. . ADDRESS OF THE STATE'S ATTORNEY. State's Attorney Reed, in closing the case, 6x- Smssed surprise at the defence, which was re- uced to this: First, he didn't kill him at all; socond, Doras killed him; third, if Cullen killed him he was drunk, or it was an accident. The bullet went straight through Me- Williams' -head; the evidence goes as straight to convict this man of murder. There was a peculiar difficulty in this case to ge- sare justice.” Every one of the witnesses who 28¥ ihe shot fired was & friend of the defendent, and it was with the ntinost reinotance that they Swere induced to testify anything against him. Mr. Mason objected to the statement that the witnesses were all friends of Cullen. The Court said the jury would draw their own conclusions with reference to this point. Ar. Reed laid great stress upon the fact that the ball went through the head on a direct level, showing that & deadly, determined sim was taken. He scouted the idea that the shot was fired by Doras, 28 all but one witness in effect testifid to the contrary, two swearing positively that be was not there. * Cuilen’s actions subse- uent to the ehooting, were such 2a to point con- clusively to him as to the one fired the shot—his flight to No. 135 Clinton street; from thence quickly to No. 422 Monros: street, where he did not board, and where the men who had been with him, told him when he went to bed there, *‘This is no place for you;” his return to bis own boarding house, where he changed his clothing, and where he jumped through the window. The thing could not be explained consistently with Cullen's innocence. The witnezs Kerwick committed deliberate per- ury. Mr. Mason objected to the impeachment of his own witness by the Stato’s attorney. The Court sustained the objection. Mr. Reed then took the position that Eer- wick's testimony was contradicted by that of Fry, Burnett, and Duffy, who stated that Doras was not there. It was proved that Cullen flour- ished the revolver in the saloon, and that he bad_on the: sidewalk beyond all controversy. MeWilliams laughed gt lim; he felt insulted, and, in a spirit of Lellish bravado, he drew the pistol and shot him dend, The cause of public Justice demanded that this murder should bs punished. The only way to administer justice in this city was to declare that he who takes life wantonly shall forfeit his own. It would be 5 shame and a mockery not to punish this man. 2 INSTRUCTIONS. . 'The Court then instructed the jury, as ususl, in regard tothe definition of the crime of murder 28 laxd down in the siatute; as to malice express or implied ; as to what constitutes a reasoneble doubt ; as to the power of the juryto fix the penslty, etc. On the subject of drunkenness, the instructions for the people were as follows : Voluntary drunkenness is no excuse for crime. If & man voluntarily gets drunk, and then commits o crime, he s just a8 amenable to the law as if ho was sober. The jury have no ight to allow drunkenness 10 excusa the defendant if they believe from the ovi- dence, beyond a reasonablo doubt, that hoehot and killed James P. McWillinms in manner and form as charged in the indictment. For the Defence: Tho jury are instructed by the Court that, before they could find the prisoner guilty of murder a8 charged, they must be_satisfied not only that the circumstances given in evidence in this caso were consistent with his lisving committed the act, but they must also be satisfied from the evidence that the facts were such as to bo inconsistent with any other rational conclusion than that the prisoncrwas the guilty party. Crime consists in the violation of Inw, in the com- ‘mission of which there must be an union or joint op- eration of act and intention, Tn sl cases of crimo act and intent must concur, and in this case, aithough the Jury should believe from the evidence that the prison= er shot the deceased, yet before they can convict him of murder, they must also believe from the evidence that at the time of the Lomicide ho_intended to him, but If the jury also believe from the evidenco that the defendant shot the deceased, and that the act w23 done deliberately and intentionally, then the law nmes tle defendant intended the natural and ‘probable consequences of the act. TThe jury are jnstructed by the Court that if from the eviderico it {s nncertain in the minds of the jury which of the two men, Doras or Cullen, shot ‘and killed tho deceased, McWilliams, then the law is for the defendant, and the jury is bound to acquit him of the crime of murder as charged in the indictment. 1tis 8 rule of criminal law thata crimo must be fully established by cogent and convincing proof, Nelther 3 mere preponderance, nor any amount of preponderant evidence is sufficient to convict o _pris- oner, unless_such evidence generste a full belief of the fact, to the exclusion of all reasonable doubt. The Court instructs the jury that this case is to bo determined by the law and evidence, and not upon tho assortions and declarations of counsel. SPECULATIONS ON THE RESULT. The jury retired at half past 3 o'clock, and at ten minutes before 5 they announced that a verdict had been agreed upon. The Judge being absent, & messehger was eent for him. During the interval bets were offered 23 to_the verdict, a reporter wagering the cigars with a bailiff that the prisoner would not get over fourteen years. The general impression scemed to be that the death penalty would not be inflicted, Btate's Attorney Reed expressing the belief that the jury would not decree hanging. The pris- oner and his father, who sat side by side, mani- fested no especial anxiety, as they had been evi- dently mhch reassured by the teiling argument of their counsel. THE VERDICT. Upon the arrivel of Judge Tree, the jury re- turned to the court-room, and the verdict wes read, as follows : We, the jury, find the defendant guilty in manner and form a8 charged in the indictment, and fix his punishment et imprisonment in the Penitentisry of this State for and during the term of his natural life. As the words “ for and during the term of his natursl ife™ were read by tho Clerk, tho elder Cullen gave & loud ery of agony, aud threw his arms around the neck of Lis son. The latier shook him off ficrcely, and, in an angry tons, exclaimed, “ Quit thut!” The father continue his wails of anguish while the jury was being Eoflad, but the son eat unmoved, and, when tho heriff came to corduct him to his cell, he merely allowed himself to be repoatedly kissed and embraced by the old man, and then burried away 88 quickly as &ossihla. The counsel for the prisoner entered the cus- tomary motions for & new trial and arrest of judgment, the jury were diecharged, and the ‘Court adjourned. OBITUARY. Death of Dr. William D. Winer, an Eminent Physician and Surgeon of This City. Died, on the evening of the 21st of October, at Burke'a Hotel, William D. Winer, of severe in- flammation of the lungs, in the 4lst year of his age. Born and nurtured under the most genial in- fluences, he obtained his degree of Bachelor of Arts of the University of Toronto, and several years after graduated in the medical department of that institution. After a year ormore of travel and study, to etill further fit him for tho vocation which he had chosen, he established himsolf in this city in the autumn of 1856, and from that date to his fatal illness, if we excopt ‘his abeence as Surgoon of General Mulligan's Brigade during our late civil war, continued in the active practise of his profession. There has probably existed few men whose traits of character were so well marked and pro~ nounced, a8 to draw around them such hosts of friends, and by his death to make all feel that a great and irreparable deprivation has been visit~ ed upon them. Thoroughly unselfish, & firm and just friend, with charity toward sl and malice to none, untiring in his attendance upon the sick and suffering, ever ready to essist the wealk and jdistressed, his name had become a ‘honeehold word in 80 many families, and his popularity so justly secured in every grade of Bociety, that this announcoment will bring sor- row to many a hearthstone, and the poor will eadly grieve, for indeed they haye lost a friond. With a comprehensive mind, and excellent pover of nn:ldyais, backed by an unerring judg- ment, he had worked himeelf to the highest eminence s a medical practitioner, and the members of his profession will acknowledge that they have lost from their it a safe ad- viser, a firm supporter of its dignities and hon- ore, and one who, under all circumstances, had reflected credit upon them all. The illness which brought him to his death be- gan in the early part of this flyeur, and was the result of long-continued labor, - snd constant exposure in his practice; but unwilling to realize that is splendid phy: should succumb to such apparent trivialities, he persisted until the very foun- tain of life had almost become dried, and, upon the \uienb entreaty of his wife and medical ad- viser, he_finally congented to remit his exer- tions, and by relaxation, and travel in milder climates, to rebuild his shattered forces. This couree was, in & measure, succeseful, and for & time it seemed as if that greatest boon to the human race—good health—would be regained, but the hope was delusive, and eleven days ago a return of his former compleint, under a more nggressive phase, ensued, which terminated his ‘useful career, . Even in this ead extremity, he struggled man- fully, resolved that if determination and resolu- tion conld be of avail, to resist to the utmost the approaches of Death; yet the inexorable Harvester slowly but surely cut the tendrils of life, and, with_hope in_tho mercy of his Maker, through the intercession of his Savior Jesus Christ, that his meny good deeds would balance that gin which is inherent in all and born in our blood, the soul of this strong man passed to the bosom of God. Peace to his ashes! and may the memory of his goodness ever live with 2ll. S S NS Furnaces.

Promises ¢f the Future---Trustees® Meeting To-Day. Chicago Theological Seminary Alumni Institute. THE NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. on the beautiful shore of Lake Michigan, twelve miles north of Chicago, in the heart of a grand old osk wood, stands. the institution of learning whose name heads this article. It is not an old institution, with ivy-mantled walls and covered with the associations of centuries, ‘but & young and vigorous one, having only re- cently attained its majority, with a most flatter- ing prospect for its future. Institutions of learning, like wine, improve with age; so it will be with this University, yet its rapid, even mar- vellous growth, is worthy of more than o pass- ing notice. In the spring of 1850, on the 30th day of May, ameseting was held in the city of Chicago, com- ‘posed of those favorable to the establishment of & University, under the patronage of the Metho- dist Church, in or near that rapidly-growing city. By appointment the following well-known gen- tlemen met at the office of Grant Goodrich, over J. K. Botsford’s store: Reva. Richard Haney, R. H. Blanchard, Z. Hall, and Hon. Grant Good- rich, Orrington Lunt, Esq., H. W. Clark, Esq., John Evans, Esq., J. K. Botsford, Esq., and A, J. Brown, Es¢q. At this meeting resolutions were adopted favoring the immediate establishment of a Uni- versity; and a Committee was appointed to draft & charter to be submitted to the General Assembly of Illinois st the enening session. The charter was obtained the succeeding winter, and accepted by the Trustees Juno 15, 1851. The first election of Trustees under the charter resulted in the choice of the following gentle- men as Resident Trustoes: A. S. Sherman, Grant Goodrich, Orrington Lunt, J. K. Bots- ford, John Evans, Andrew J. Brown, George F. Foster, J. M. Arnold, E. B. Kingsley, James Eettlostrings, N. S. Dovie, and A. Funk, upon whom the charter conferred tho power to elect their successore. It was thought best by the Trustees to secure a parcel of ground in the city for a Preparatory Department, which should be made tributary to the University. Mesers. Lunt and Evans, the Committee, finally recommended the purchaso of some lots on the corner of Jackson and Clark streets, which could be had for £8,000. After deliberation this purchase was made, and it may be interesting to know that the Grand Pacific Hotel now resta upon these szme lots, still own- ed by the University. The Exccutive Committce in 1853 mado numerons excursions into the sur- rounding country in search of o suitable location for their embryo University. Nogotiations for a tract of land ~mear Jefferson were pending, end the majority pf the Commit- tee were in favor of their purchase, but were ar- rested by tho merest accident. On the return from one of these excursions to Highland Park, Mr. 0. Lunt, in the company of Ar. Benson, stopped 8¢ the Snyder Farm, whero the lntter had some business to traneact. While Mr. Ben- eon was attending to his business, Mr. Lunt, +who had been opposed to thoJefferson purchase, walked across the wet iand to tho lake shore. His attention was then drawn to a high bank a short distance north, to which he repaired. He was delighted with the location, and the im- pression mado by tho high benk, the forest trees, the pebbly beach, and rippling waves, was B0 great, that in his drcams he saw bright visions of the future beautiful University town with allits prosperity and ad- vanteges. The Executive Committee were nob long after transported to this newly-discovered Arcadin. The verdict was unanimous in favor of this sito, and nction was immedistely taken to securo it. 1t was not without dificulty, howey- er, that the Jand wes sccured at the then exorbit- ant price of %70 per acre. Four hundred acres wore purchased, forty of which were sct apart for University grounds, and tho remainder laid out into & town. Rov. Philo Judson, who was their agent, and filled his_office with universal eatisfaction for eig}:t years af- ter, superintended the laying out of ‘the town. In the month of June of the ear 1854 the following Facalty were decided on Tresident, Dr. G. T. Hinman ; Colleagucs, W. D. Godman and H. L. Noyes. The first building, 3 four-story wooden structure, was erected In 1855, at & cost of about £10,000, on the same bleck in which the new Methodist Church now stands. In the summer of 1871 this building was moved into the Campus, thoroughly remod- elled and enlarged, and is now used for the Pre- paratory Department. Although the institution opened with only fivestudents, it was not long or- dained to remain so. Dr. Hinman, who up to this time had been President, was callod away by an inscrutable Providence, not being destined to see the future growth and %}Ellfleflfl of the idea for which he had g0 faithfaily labored. At the annual meeting of the Trustees in 1856, Rev. Dr. R. 8. Foster was elected President, under Whase fostering care for the next four years the instit ution advanced rapidly into public notice and osteem. The grest commercial crash of 1857 fell with full force on the University and growing village of Evanston. It was at that epoch in the University's history, if in no other, that the Trusteees showed their financial ability and wisdom. There were no funds to gny the ealaries of the rofessors, only an abundence of unim; roved Fmds. The Trustees thought better to shut up the University entirely than sacrifice them, end 8o informed_the Professors. Bub they, in rfect accord with the epirit of dieinterested Penovolonce that hes ehown conspicuously through the entire history of the institution, ex- pressed & willingness to_take promises to pay, rather than shut the University doors. From this date the institution prospered won- dortully ; the landed endowments which the Uni- versity possessed rose in value, and its future success and opulence were indisputable. The successful efforts put forth by the Faculty to raise the stondard of Western scholarship turned from its doors the superficial, and at- tracted the loversof high scholarship and liberal culture. = The accommodations not being sufficient for the large influx of students, and the time having arrived whon the finances allowed of tho under- taking, the present elegant and commodious strocture ocoupied by the arts, scientific, and civil engincering dopartments was planned. The corner-stone wes laid in 1866, and tho yoar 1869 witneesed the completion of tho edifice &nd the installation of Dr. Erastus O. Haven to the Presidency. The building is constructed of ¢ Athens marble,” four stories in height, con- taining recitation rooms, chapel, musoum, and Tibrary, the whole furnished throughout’ with the most approved modern_conveniences. The entire cost was $125,000. Dr. Haven, entering upon bhis duties as_ President, = assiste by a large end able Faculty which had been 2dded as the growing wants of ths institution made it necessary and advisable, and also by the experience of years and the reputation of being one of the most populor end succoss- ful collego Presidents in the country, can it be a matter of surprise that the University with one mighty leap placed iteelf with the foremost collego of the land. Btudents thronged the halls, and woman, who had previously been admitted to the samo privi- leges as the sterner sex, threw the charm of her presence over the prosaic life of the student. THE CIICAGO MEDICAL COLLEGE, founded in 1858, was annexed to the University in the year 1869. The conditions of the union are as follows: The graduates of, or, indeed, any who have spent two_years in, the Literary Department, can receive ingtruction in medicine a.uc{’ surgery fres of charge, and students in the Literary Department receive instruction in the Taboratory of Analytical Chemistry, which is connected” with the medical college, without toition, In return for these privileges, the University has aided in the erection of an elogant and commodions building for the Medi- cal College, which stands near Mercy Hospital, on the corner of Prairie avenue and Twenty- gixth stredt, Chicago. This institution is nowsa credit to the community in whose midst it stands, . and hes done as much @8 any gimilar institution to do away with ineficiency and medical quackery, requiring three years of preparation ere & degree will be conferred. THE GABLETT DIBLICAL INSIITUTE, " she second theological sehaol established in this -conntry by the Methodist Church, stands near -the University building. g. It wes erected in 1363, at 8 cost of $60,000, is built of Milwaukee riclk, with stone. trimmings, and used for a dormitory and Tecitation- rooms. Although the Institute stands onan independent finanial bssis, the union between the University and it is as close 88 that existing between the colleges of Oxford and Cambridge, and it is regarded as a department of the Uni- versity. It was one of the first to insist that the degree of Bachelor of Divinity should be con- ferred on none but college graduates. THE EVANSTON COLLEGE FOR LADIES, under the charge of a Board of Trustees, all of whom are women, is now erecting 2 new college building, & most besutiful and tasty structure, already described in these columns, on a site of four acres, noar the University grounds, which will ~ gerve as =& home for the young ladies, who enjoy all the sdvantages of the University, and in sddition will in the college receive special instruction in feminine arts and accomplishments. Mies Frances E. Willard is the President. A LAW DEPARTMENT has already been projected, and an appropria- tion made for that purpose, It is thought "that before another year opens it will be in success- ful operation. It is much needed, as many of the graduates yoarly are compellad to go else- where to prepare themselves for the profession. A NEW CHAPEL. The Trustees contemplate erecting a new and finer edifico than the University building for a chapol, 18 tho present ono in the University is inadequate for the puxsosa. The second and third loors are designed for the library and museum. 3 A TNIT. All these different institutions are prwticallg 5 unit, and form one great University. It woul be useless to specnlate 28 to the future of an in- stitution which from so small a nuclens has do- veloped info so much; it can have but onefuture, which even now overshadows it. g THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY contains over thirty thousand volumes, 20,000 of these the generous donation of L. L. Greenlesf, Esq., and the remsinder purchased with the Jibrary fund of 20,000, the gift of Orrington Lunt, The museum contdins 10,000 epecimens of different species, to which additions are be- ing constantly mado. Wo cunnot pess without mentioning tho ekeleton of the Elephas Indicus, esented by the class of *72, whichisconcededto e tho largest and most perfect in the country. THE DEATH OF PROFESSOR II. S. NOYES, whose long connection with the Institution, and indefatigable lsbors from its incopiency, are worthy of & more extended tribute than can here be given. To say that those who knew him knew him but to love him, and that no man has ever done so much for the Institution, is feeble, DB. EBASTUS 0. HOVEN passes to another fleld of labor, taking with him the good wishes of all. Would that he could have seen his duty different. EVANSTON owes her growth and pzosgerity to the North- western University. “It founded her, has nursed her into strength, and advertised fer. Yearly the students bring hundreds of thousends of dollars to her that oil the whesls of trade, and brings comfortto many a fireside. THE ENDOWMENT of the Northwestern University now amounts to oter a million and & half of dollare, andis yearly increasing in value. THE TRUSTEES of the University mest this morning at the Methodist Book Room, in this city, and it is ex- Efic:cd that Dr. Haven's successor will be made own, CHICAGO THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. TRE INSTITUTE OF THE ALUMNI ASSOCTATION of Chicago Theological Seminery opened Mon- dsy evening with a sermon by Rev. C. A.

Ficld’s Lecture nt the Union Park Congregational Cahurch Last Evening. DlIr. Fields began by saying no eminent man of our tim ehas been 8o mis-imagined as Tenny- son. He has been written about by those who knew nothing of him personally, until a very er- roneous impression of the man and the poet has got sbroad. The lecturer claimed for the poet the highest honors, naming him as o peer in that department of English literature which has ‘been illumined by genius since the fourteenth century. Aman so great as Tennyson, is, to some extent, the propoerty of the civilized world. His name is sweet and gratefal on the lips of all who love the language of poetic thought. It was gaid of Voltaire that he was rathera great intellect than a groat ‘manhood, but a pre-emin- ence was claimed for Tennysonin both. MMr. TFields described ths poet's personal appearanca as commanding and grond. Applying to Lim his own words, Hemight hove sat for Hercules, So muscular he spread, so broad of heart, A royal integrity, & spirit compnct of vigor and honest purpose sro visible in every look and tone of the man. _ At the “age of 23, when he printed his first volume, he had Cole- ridge and Wadsworth aud Leigh’ Hunt to_hail his advent. Sainte Beuve said that in three- fourths of all the men who live a certain revery of youth, the flower of sentiment, the poet with- in, dics young, while the man sarvives. This revery has never died out in Tennyson. When he came singing into the century, a new era of song was inaugurated, and he has never turned aside from the pathway that had been trodden by Chaucer and the other great ones. He has nover lighted hig possession, but ho hes con- tinued to enrich it by profound and _earnast de- votion to the acquisition of knowledge. He is one of the best Grecians of modern times, and he keaps fully abreast of all the sciontific die- coveries in Europe and America, Tyndall and Buxley are not more alert in their search after truth tban the Poct Laureato of England. Mr. Fields described Tennyson’s manner of reading poetry, and his own poems in particular, as most impressive. He gives the fufi swell of the ode or the lyric in 2 way no one who has ever heard him can forget.” Mr. Fields heard him read in private from Milton and Homer, and on verious occasions lisiened with delight to his rendering of * Maud,” the *Idylis,” and other well known poems of his own. The effect which the poet gave in the reading of his own writings was most startling, and quite unlike thet pro- Taon by ey bl oe deFate ceider MEEL Fields had ever heard. Tennyson's great learning was commented on, and his intimate acquaintance with _botany and geology wore specially mentioned. His love of nature 18 an ardent passion which he is con- stantly feeding with new acquisitions. One should see Tennyson in his own home, walk with him about the Isle of Wight, explore with him the chalky cliffs and the downs of Freshwater Bay, and &it with him in his study- tower after midnight, to know much sbout_the men acd the poet. His reticence is proverbial, but those who are admitted to' his friendship reverence and love him. Mr. Fields quoted sov- eral verses end lines with which Tennyson has enriched our native literature, and observed that he has added more to the common stock of quotations that are now in daily use then any other poet of his era. No modern bard has been habitually in such subtle sympathy with the ses, and deecribed the ocean Ennll its moods with a powor alin to Tennyson’s, Mr. Fields closed his romarks with quotations illustrating this statement, and ended 25 he begun, by plac- ing tho Loureate high in the rolls of fame. ‘Heat and Irritation of the Scalp.

Hesing in the Comptroller’s Vault, He of the ““Zeitung?» Explains the Sune day Law Ediforials in His Paper. The Publication Necessitated by Self-Preservation. Copeiderable excitement prevailed uol,nd the Gity Hall, yesterday, in various parts. Gity ofi- cers appeared to be in @ state of excitement. They acted as though they knew something un- usual wassbout to happen, but could not for the life of them breathe a word of what they ex- pected. The Sunday liquor troubles appeared to bo the subject, and, as the result showed, o con- forence among the authorities was the cause. A conference between the Mayor and Police Com= missioners had already been held, in which the Mayor expressed himself determined to pursue the course he had started on. Mr. James P. Root, County Attorney, and a member of the Cook County Republican Central Committee, presented himself, yesterday after- noon, to the Police Commissioners, and was clos- oted with them for some time. He afterwards visited the Mayor in company with Superintend- ont Washburn. A rumor prevailed around the City Hall that Mr. James P. Root came 28 a rep- resentstive of the Committee, to request the suthorities not to enforce the law next Sunday, nor until after the election. On. being ques- tioned upon the subject, Mr. Root smiled bland- 1y, and said the reporters and others wers all at sea. That wasnot his mission. It was of an entirely different character. He had come to learn dafinitely the instructions given by the Buperintendent of Police to the policemen under his charge. But though his smile was pensive, and bisair aamild as that of the celobrated August 3, his assertion failed to carry conviction with it. The Mayor's office during the afternoon was the scene of several animated debates. Repori- ers hung around the premises in clusters like flies in the cold mornings in the early fall. They showed the general impression that something was about fo happen; but, being out of the ring, did not know in what quarter it would ap- ear. L Their uneasiness culminated when Mr. Hesing, g;uyriator of the Staats Zeilung, entered the Mayor's office, and led that gentleman into the Comptroller's office. They watched the retreat- ing forms with dismay, and, when tho vault of the office was reached, they scowled on one another to intimate that, if the othor fellows had only kept quict, they might have been permitted to overhear this important interview. Several of themendeavored to do 8o, and reaching the vault, stood sside, notebook in. hand, but 3 Hesing was warned of their in- tention, and the vault door swung to, and the Msyor and Mr. Hesing were locked in. Tt was trying time to the eager reporters. Supposing an accident should happen to either of them, and nobody bo able to learn their last important remarks. 'he interview was reported, and was substan- tially as follows: Mr. Medill took Mr. Hesing to task, and in- quirod what he meant by what appeared in the Saats Zeitung of last Sunday and Mondsy in reference to the Sunday law. He thought the article was rather strong. Mr. Hesing replied that it was a matter of solf- rotection with him. He feared he would lose 18 subscribers unless something of the kind were written. Beveral Germans who wore politi- cally opposed to him had, he understoo gone round in buggies, last week, ani told the maloon-keepers that Le had joined the Puritans, and was responsible Yor the enforcemont of the Sunday law. These mon wero incensed 2gainst him,” and fearing that his paper would be financiaily damaged by this action on their part, he was driven to ex- press himself so forcibly. The Germans were a Very sensitivo people, and the onforcement of the law had crested an intemse excitement smong them. His political opponenta had caus- ed a meeting to be held next Thursday night at West Twelfth street Tarner Hall, calling it a Lib- eral Republican meating, but he, through his influence, he thought, had succeeded in making it a public meoting. Ho alluded to the Sanday cloasing ordinance, and thought it should not be enforced until after election. The Republicans were in unploasant straits about it. Mr. Hesing intimated that the enforccment of the ordinance would alienate many suaight Republican voters. - The Mayor eeid that the ordinance was on the books, and it must be enforced. He was anx- jous to have the matter taken up and finally de- cided by the Supreme Court. Mr. Hesing thought it was right under the or- dinance to eoll liquor quictly, and as long as there was no disturbanco in the szloon the po- lice should not interfere. - The Mayor said he had to act under the law, and could not consistently allow anybody to sell liquor * quiotly.” . Hesing alluded to the revocation of li- censes for repented infractions of the law. ‘What would the Mayor'do about it ? The Mayor eaid that the question had been neked him, but he had refused to answer it, hav- ing determined to perform his duty in his own way. Mr. Hesing asked if it was the intention of the police authorities to adopt a system of espionage—disguise themselves; entor saloons incognito ; peep through key-holes and cracks,— and, if liquor was being sold, to seize the pro- prictor and bar-keeper, drag them off to jail, and keop them all night without the privilege of bail. . A great many of the Germans con- strued tho order of the Superintendent to mean this, and were very indignant about it. The Mayor said the police had received in- structions to do nothing of the kind. They wore merely ordered, in case of their seeing, be- ing informed of, or knowing that, liquor was being sold, to take the names of the violators of the law, and furnish them, and neces- gary testimony againet them, at the Police Courts. Thoy were mnot to ob- tain any ovidence by surreptitious means. They had carried out these instructions on Sunday, having reported only between 80 and 40 seloons; the remainder of the 117 complained of having been furnished by citizens. The conversation was continued upon the con- stitutionality of the ordinance, when the Mayor remarked that it was to bo proved whether it was in accordance with the Constitution. Mr. Hesing inquired whether the State law was similar to the ordinanca. The Mayor replied that the ordinance was merely & re-enactment of the State law. An ad- veree decision on either would undoubtedly up- set both. 'With regard to tho prosecution of cases, the Mayor said that the liquor dealers would imme- diately employ the ablest legul couasel to argue the questions involved, and would carry it to the Suprome Court. era wern two questions tobe daecided—whether lager beer was to be classed undor the head of intoxicating drinks, and the other whether the ordinunce and State law were constitutional. Mr. Hesing asked, what ‘would be done by tha authorities, supposing these points were decided against the saloon keepers ? The Mayor said they would have to abide by the decision, and enforce the law. Mr. Hesing called the attention of the Mayor to a case which occurred on Sunday, whers a galoon-keeper had been arrested in his ealoon and taken to the Station house. The Mayor said that the individual in ques: tion was arrested for raising a disturbanco, and committing a breach of the peace, and not for sgelling liquor. Every man who committed such an offence was liable to arrest, and would surely be arrested on Sunday as well as on a week-day. Mr. Hesing intimated that he wished to act a8 pencemaker &8 far as he could. A BANKRUPT CONCERN. The Creditors of the * Evening Post? Throw the Concern into Bankruptcy. The Post Printing Company was, yesterday, thrown into bankruptcy, on the petition of J. B. and G. C. Smith, ond F. P. Elliott, composing the firm of Bradnor, Smith & Co., creditors of the firm. 'The petition of the firm states that action is grounded on the fact of the Company having allowed its commercial paper to be stopped, particularly in the case of a promissory note to themselves, dated 1st July last, amounting to $3,140.76, at three months, which is now unpaid. The affidavit of F. P. Elliott states that he has been en- gaged in investigating the =ffaizs of the Compa- ny during the past month, and finds that the Post Printing Company has assets not to exceed in vaine the swm of $30,000; that it owes the sum of $43,000, or thoreabouta; that & portion of said indebtedness, amounting to 215,000, is secured by & chattel mortgage on & printing press, which press constitutes the greater por- tion in value of said assets ;" that said Company is insolvent; that for some weeks last past it has been becoming more and more insolyent ; -|-and that it has no prospect of. paying its debts. Further, that D.
