The arangomonts andap- plinnces of tho ollico are not'of n vory oxtensive clhinractor, however, and probably with o batter outtit of jnstruments tho Gas Iuspector may become something more than at: oruamontal ap- poudngo to tha civy pay-roll.

Dr, Rydor, of thoe First Universalist Church, of this citz delivered o lecturo in the "Third Unitaian Chureh yestordny ovening on the ilend, Heart, aud Hand." ‘The Doctor was introduced by the pastor of the churel, the Rey. M, J, Savage, In the oponing of his leeture, Dr. Ryder sald that inasmuch ag tho head was the thinking organ, it might bo looked upon as the most important of the three which were the subjoct of Lis lecture, but tho heart and hanud - were equally necessary. 1u the early part of the world's his- 1ory, the hand was not 80 highly considered as now, Iiwas Lord Bacou who first gave to the haud thoe credit duo to it. Binge then, man censed to be o creature of imagiuation, and work attnived its real dignity. ‘I'he Grocian was right in clovating tho head, the Baconian philosophy was right in sestng froe the haud, but to-day the brothorhood of the head, heart, and hand wag @ necossary, self-supporting trinity, From tho head tho hand was dircctod in _it8 skill, The bhand signified tact and invontion. It was mot too much to say that the dignity of labor was o leading featuro of modern civillzation. Oue of tho noblest things o man could do, was to labor in tho community, Thore wore differont grades of Iabor, I'he man who labored with his hand alone, was not so important as ho who used both bead and hand in bis work. Thore could be o tyrauny of the hand as well as tho hoart, whicl was oflon scon in theacts of mobs, Tho hand ruled largoly in Amorics, espeeinlly in tho newly-sottled rogions whero manual labor was employed in the graud works of developiug tho virgin resources of tho soil. I'he Jocturer stated thnt at tho presont timo thero was woro intelligence in tho world than over beforo, bnt at tio samo timo thero was moro ragcalitv. o locturer instanced 08 succossful rascals James Nisk, Jr., Jay Gould, tha National Cougrees, tho Aldermou of Now York, whom he cheractorized as rasoals un- aqualed in the would's history, nuless perbaps by tho Aldormen of Chicago, ~"Tho raseality of tne world was ulso shown n thoe literaturoe of tho duy, Thore wore newspapers priuted in Ohicago ovory duy wado up of Buufl, awtul stufl, Bpeaking to the youngor membets of the con- grogation, the lecturor eanid tbhat thore wero unwwmoers of young peoplo walking about in Cui- cago at thu prosent day, with o total disregard of tho throe great olomonds of roal powor.

Lk ouo by ane tho suoW-siyaials,foll s gath- ored, until b last tho mighty engive was atayed in its course, The lecturor statod that in the world st largo wotl was tho condition of success, Men were 1mnado for lnbor, and tho powers of the body aud mind, if not oxercised, dwindled nway, Btrength, carncatnosy, aud cheerfulness cume to the man who ted a busy life, Carlylo suld that o man must either .toil or stesl from him who had toiled.

T coraee o THE OHIGAGO TRIBUNE, CHEHICACGO WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THE LEADIN(;}J—EWSPAPER N THE NORTHWEST. THE PAPER FOR THE FARMER, MECHANIC, MANUFACTURER, MERCHANT, BANKER, “ROFESSIONAL MAN, (YD THE FIRESIDE. PROSPECTUS FOR 1874. The coming year promises to be the most oventfulin o political sonse that we have seen since the close of tho war. The questions which have ongrossed and divided the public mind during the past’twenty years are' rapidly passing away;, and we find growing up in different parts of the country a party called by vari- ous names---in California the Inde- pendent party, in Iowa the Anti- Monopoly party, in 'Wisconsin the Reform party, in Illinois the Farmers’ Movement---having a com= mon purpose and inspiration, and exhibiting a strenigth which proves that it answers one of :tho chief de- mands of the hour. The CHICAGO TRIBUNE will give a large share of its attention to this NEW MAN- IFESTATION OF PUBLIC SENTI- MENT. It holds: 1st. That tho old party organmza- tions aro ossontiolly corrupt and fraudulent. Having no longer any principles to carry into effoct, they have bocomo mero business entor- prisos, making a show of opposition to each other, but really sharing in the procoeds of profligate and dis. honost legislation. To supposc that any healthful reform can flow from the pretended efforts of these worn- out and demoralized partmerships is sltogether vain and illusory. 2d. That the tariff system now in vogue is a cunning devico to rob the many for the benefit of the few, and that its effect is to' cause farm pro- ducts to exchango for about one-half the quantity of foreign' or ¢ pro- tected” goods they would otherwise buy. 8d. Thet railroads-cannot exact more than a fair rate of interest on the capital actually investod in them, and that when, in -addition to this, they claim dividends on watered stock and fraudulent bonds, the State may rightfully intorfere for the protection of the people ; thatunjust discriminations between different 10Galities 'uro i viclation of law and should be prohibited. 4th. That subsidies or bounties of money, land, or public credit, to railway, steamship, or other corpo- rations, are flagrant abuses of the powers of government, fraught with the gravest dangers to the people, and tending to promote corruption, extravaganco, . speculation, and financiol disaster. Tho general character of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is too well established to need recapitulation. It is always independent and fear- less in tho expression of its views. 3 _AmRoAD TiME TaBLx..
