The man who H. ©. Van Schaack’s Lectura .on Benedict Arnold. Charles H. Ham Reviews the Riss and Progress of Manufactures. Two Interesting Evening Entertain- "ee ments. . H. C. VAN SCHAACK. The Historical Society met last evening, and, after electing Mr. Edward Roby a mem- ber, those present, over 100, were entertained for an hour by Mr. Henry C. Van Schaack, of. Manlius, N. Y., who read a paper on Ben-. edict Arnold. : That Gen. Arnold was an utterly aban- doned character, destitute of any and eyery merit, and that he never did a good act, Mr. ‘Van $haack said, would not be pretended. Charity led us to believe that there were no hearts so vicious as not to be illuminated by some beams of light or virtue; but that there were a great many defects in Arnold’s char- acter outside of his treason, and that he was really a bad man, could scarcely be disputed, while at the same time it must be’ admitted that he was in some respects an extraordinary charaeter, and that he rendered very impor- tant service to his country in ‘the early part of the Revolutionary War. Mr. Van Schaack did not attempt. to dis- cuss the subject of Arnold’s mi perience. If, in:the accounts of. his achieve- ments, he could justly be ranked among the great Captains: of antiquity, his character as a whole. placed .him in that extraordinary enigmatic class of persons in history who were complex, incomprehensible, and. hard to be understood. From the very commence- ment of his career Arnold showed himself to bea man of intrigues and dark designs, and destitute of principle,—a character which was consistently perfected in his subsequent treason. His biographies showed that he was a mischievous dare-devil in his youth, and we knew what. he became in_ his manhood. In measuring the depth of his matured depravity, it should be borne in mind that his traitorous action was not based upon any honest change of sentiment in re- rd to the right of the cause in which he ad originally embarked, frankly avowed and openly carried out; for his plot origi- nated with himself, was deliberately con-- cocted, and he was forabouteighteen months engaged in carrying it_out. This was con- clusively shown by Sir Henry Clinton’s nar- rative of the facts and circumstances con- nected with the treason, transmitted by him at the time to the British Government... Mr. Van Schaack then entered into along account of Arnold’s troubles with Col. John Brown, pointing out many ignoble traits in his character,—his arrogance and violence,and scheming to prevent Col. Brown from gettin; an investigation of charges preferred agains} him by Arnold; also reading the charges of treason, cowardice, want’ of - integrity, un- officer-like conduct, etc., preferred in turn by Col. Brown, who was at last, through Ar- nold’s intrigues, compelled to resign. Brown’s statements regarding Arnold’s true character were confirmed by eminent Revo- intlonory officers. Gen. Wayne said he was acoward, and that honor and true virtue “were strangers tohis soul. That was. said four years before his treason.. He never went into a battle without being intoxicated. . The aternal ~ \dfather of the speaker, Mr. Peter Van Schaack, was in England several years after the exposure of Arnold’s treason. m the occasion of one of his visits to Westminster Abbey he noticed a gentleman. and a lady. The gentle- man was Gen. Arnold, and the lady, doubtless, Mrs. Arnold. ‘They passed to the cenotaph of Maj. Andre, where they stood and conversed together, ‘‘ What a scene for the pencil!” exclaimed the speaker. -“‘ The traitor Arnold.in Westminster Abbey at the tomb of Andre, for whose’ ignominious fate he was so largely responsible, standing there and deliberately reading the monumental in- scription which will transmit to future ages the tale of his own infamy. ‘The spectacle, ‘with the associations which naturally crowd- ed on the mind, was calculated to excite various and conflicting emotions. particularly in an American bosom, and Mr. Van Schaac! turned from it pith diseust : Althouse cut off in_the prime of life, and in the midst of the Revolutionary struggle, Col. Brown was spared to see the correctness of his own early opinions concerning the true character of Arnold fully realized, and his inherent corruption demonstrated by the timel; discovery 0 the blackest treason with which the annals of any country ever were stained. ‘The remains of the despised traitor, who, in life, was_ignominiously expelle: from the country of his birth, were now rot- ting ina neglected grave in a foreign land, while those of the lamented Brown rested in peaceful and honored slumber in the bosom of that country for whose independence he fought and died, and which he loved so well. ‘Mr. Isaac N. Arnold, in reply to the charge that Arnold was destitute of courage, and that intoxication had to do with his heroism, read extracts from a paper prepared by Capt. Ebenezer Wakefield, of Dearborn’s Light In- fantry, who served with him. This officer pore testimony to Arnold’s bravery at Sara- fora, ‘where “he fearlesly exposed his life in leading his battalions to victory.” . Arneld. had the respect of the whole army, except Gates and his staff. The speaker, as his bi- ographer, courted the most searching investi- ition of the statements he had made in his Book. Whatever might have been Amold’s crimes,—the speaker did ‘not seek to extenuate his treason—no man who bore a commission from the Continental Con- gress was ever so ontrageously abused as Benedict Arnold. If the speaker could not get a verdict now he would appeal to poster- ty. : vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Van Schaack, and the Society then adjourned. A CIIARLES H. HAM. Ata regular meeting.of the Philosophical Society, held last evening at No. 103 State street, Mr. Charles H. lam delivered a lect-. ure on “The Rise and Progress of Manufact- ures,” of which the following is an abstract: - The first man stood without arms, tools, or clothing at the mercy of his savage surround- ings. But Adam made a great stroke when, according to-the legend, he subdued the beasts and regained his empire over them by felling the lion with a stick. Man began with the bow and flint-headed arrows, and took a long. step in advance when the idea of comesticating: animals oc- first converted the ficece of the sheep into felt by pounding it with a stone originated commerce. Then came weaving, spinning, dyeing, and the manufacture of tapestry. ‘The use of cochi- neal was said to have resulted from an acci- dental discovery, and many other useful things were the result of accident. ‘The first husbandman when he sowed seed and settled down to wait for the haryest laid the foundations of society. The first im) le- ments of industry were of the rudest character, and jit was a very long time before improvements were made. Slavery, villeinage, anc the feudal system stood in the way. The peasant had to neglect his sowing or planting at the bidding of his’ lord, and famines were ‘fre- quent.” It was not until the beginning of the present century that American Ingenuity was applied to the improvement of agricultural implements. Before this time the English mechanics had invented many labor-saving machines. The manufacture of India mus- Jins was known to have existed for over 2,000 years. These fabrics, which could be drawn hrough a finger-ring, could _neyer be Tivaled by any machine products, but the English had imitated them so cheaply as to spoil the market.. Hargreaves, Arkwright, and others invented. machinery for spinning and weav- ing, and in 1792 Whitney invented the cotton- in. This trebled the value of the fields of ¢ South, and rendered that section wealthy, The woolen and linen manufactures had shared in the improvements which had beeu made in the cotton manufacture. The Egyp- tians, Greeks, and Romans made and wore: linen goods. Marco Polo found cloths in India made from asbestos. A Chinese Princess -cultivated silkworms 4,000 years ago, and was deified therefor- Silkworm eges were introduced into Europe in the sixth century by two Nestorian monks, who concealed the eggs in their staffs. lay France is the leading manufactory of silks and silk goods. Thisis largely owing to the invention of the Jacquard loom. Goat’s hair cloth has been used for many centuries, and the cashmere shaw! is woven from goat’s hair. The ancients appreciated the importance of ship-building. Noah’s Ark was built on the best principles for carrying. freight, but sniling-vessels were not known for many centuries later. Long afterwards came the ‘invention ‘of the rudder, and much later chat of the compass and the chronometer he: wars of-the United .States with Zngland, taught American shipwrights how to build THE ROSTRUM. itary ex-, fast-sailing vessels,and in the days of sailing- vessels the American clippers, ‘beat all the, one crossing-the Atlantic in nine days. Then came the adaptation of steam-to vessels as a propel! power. a te One of the earliest manufactures. was that of pottery. The art of molding clay into yessels had been traced back’ four to five -| thousand years. Writings and deeds were . imprinted on. bricks and terra cotta -was used for many purposes in the earliest times: Porcelain isa hinese invention 2,000 years old, but was not introduced into Europe until the eight- teenth century. ‘The knowledge of iron came from the East, but it was not known when or by whom the art of smelting iron was discovered. The ancients with their rude methods produced iron and steel that had never been excelled in quality, . Savages, appreciate the extreme value of iron, and would give anything for a hatchet or a few nails, ‘The smith was a mighty man in En- gland in the olden time.” “His, person Was sacred, and he ranked with the highest. Mythology gave one of its highest places to Vulcan, the smith, and the vulgar in the early days attributed the sharpness of swords to the art of magic. . ‘The speaker gaveanaccountof the rise and progress of the iron trade. He showed how every inventor met with opposition from the vested interests of his day, and. how they were persecuted and defrauded on all hands. It was reserved for the modern mechanic to make a slave of steam and to harness the lightning. Most of the old inventors died in poverty and obscurity. The steam engine and the steamship, the hot blast for smelting, the telegraph, and the telephone were great civilizers. Tools had to be manufactured and workmen educated before engines could be made to work right. . The prime difficulty of the hand-worker was to make two things ex- actly alike, but the automatic power of steam produces thousands 80 pearly similar thata ticroscopical examination necessary to, tell the difference between them.” Mr. Ham gave in brief compass an abstract of the immense railroad system of Europe and America, and furnished some statistics to show. the greatness of this interest. He referred to the thousand and one inventions of the present century, and wound up with the declaration that printing, “the art preservative of art,” had done more than any-other invention to benefit mankind. Several members of the Society discussed the subject, and it was conceded that the lecture was one of the ablest ever delivered before that body. , : LOCAL CRIME. THE ENVELOPE SWINDLE REVIVED There is no reason why that most perni- cious of all gambling, the Gift Enterprise, alias the Modern Wonder, alias the Envelope Game, but in reality a rascally swindling de- vice, should be allowed to flourish in one of the busiest thoroughfares of Chicago. And the probabilities ‘are that it will not be al- lowed to run on and after the date of any newspaper expose. The place referred to is located at No. 129 West Madison street, and. its projectors are such men as John Harris, Harper, the well-known confidence man, and other similar gentry, most of whom hail from : the. disreputable half of the Eighteenth Ward. The place is made attractive by many lights, and ‘across each window is a large and attractive plgn “Grand Gift Bazaar for the benefit of the Serva Sisters’ Orphan Asylum.” A smaller, placard states that there are. $300 in cash’ prizes, and no blanks. Scattered broadcast on the street are good-sized handbills reading as follows: “Grand Gift Bazaar for the benefit of Serva Sisters’ Orphan .Asylum, to be held at McCormick ll Feb. 16, 17, and 18, 1880. ‘Tickets for sale and prizes paid on purchase of ticket on the inside. Call and get your tickets.” Within doors both sides of the apartment are cov- ered with cheaply-constructed pine racks, with smal! yellow envelopes stuck in rows all over. them.” These are Supposed to con- tain sums of money aggregating $300. The avaricious public is kept away from them by small foot-walks and railings. Upon these. walks the “stud-horse?-shirted and “ bunko- clothed” attaches. of the places air their fine figures and practice their soft siren voices in luring.on the unsuspecting victim. Once in a while a stool-pigeon engaged for the purpose will step in, put down his money, take the cane, and indicate on the rack the envelope of his choice. Upon,opening it, he will announce hig-luck -in -having drawn a large prize, say $10 or $20, and will immedi- ately proceed to invest again and again with varied luck. The casual visitor has no such opportunities, because the manager of the shop has very unkindly neglected to tell him which was the money envelope. The game is quite an old one, and in the corrupt days of “Soap” Levy and his ig it had quite arun in this city, being then known as the “Modern Wonder.” itis not. known, how- ever, when Harris, Harper, or any other no- torious confidence man first began to suspect that “Soap” Levy’s game could again. be played upon Chicago. A ‘ ‘here Is, of course, no such society as the Serva Sisters, unless the aforesaid confidence - men have organized themselves ‘into a sister- hood, which isnot at all improbable, inas- muchas they are up to allsorts of crime. The title is well calculated to deceive people into believing that.the Servite Sisters, a worthy organization, with an Industrial Or- | phans’ School on West Van. Buren street, wwas the institution to be benefited. ‘The reporter under whose notice this fla- grant violation of morality and Jaw came went to Capt. AleGarinle, from whose station No. 129 is only a half block distant, and asked him-what he had to say about the place. He had noticed it, he said, Friday evening, but failed to do anything because it slipped his memory. When the subject" was mentioned last night, he promptly sent Detective Galla- gher to the managers with peremptory orders close at once unless they-could show a specialcpermit from the Mayor. They could show none, of. course, and obeyed the order by closing at once. The Captain says that Friday evening was the first night the shop was in operation, and that either that day or the day before Harris and sundry others whom hé did not know came to him and asked him about being permitted to run ashop of the kind, They claimed to have: seen. Mayor Harrison about it, and that he individually had no objection to it. Their talk in this direction was particularly stropg. But.as things now stand Capt. McGarigle will not permit the shop torun unless they show. a special license or permit, which; under the circumstances, will never be granted. The “Modern Wonder,” barely 24 hours of hias collapsed, and the Serva Sisters will be obliged to seek benevolence and “suckers” elsewhere. : , POLICE NEGLIGENCE. The police are becoming as clever as the Grand Jury in setting criminals at liberty: ‘Yesterday forenoon before Justice Robinson, qresiding in the North Divison Polic Court, Michael Barry, whose case was mentioned in yesterday’s TRIBUNE, was held upon four charges in $2,000 to the 18th,. and John Jones and Frank Hogan, two of the three young thieves, were fined $25 each for steal- goods out of the show-window. of a Di- yision street.dry-goods store. They were then passed back to the prison-pen, where they were to be held until Court adjourned, after which they were to be sent to their desti- nation,—either the House of Correction or the County Jail. When the lock-up keeper went to the room to do this, he found the apart- ment empty. The trio had cut the lock out of the door leading to the basement, and then, by forcing open a front basement door, had ‘gained access: to a sinall stairway lead- ing to the street.” Immediately on this dis- covery policemen were scattered in all directions in pursuit, Dbut.it was not until some time afterwards that Barry was found on the Northwestern Railway prepar- ing to leave town. , It is a grent pity, too, that they did not let hiin go, for that would have been the easiest and surest ‘way of ridding this city of his presence. Hogan and Jones ‘ ate still at liberty. Who was culpable for this will -be the theme of a police investiga- tion soon to take place before Supt. O’Don- nell. tion-Keeper McCabe, of the West Twwelfth-Street Station, is to he investigated also upon similar charges. A citizen found aburglar -in his barn ‘in the rear-of No. 72 Damon street, arrested him, and brought him to the station, where he was’ boaked for burglary. Tn the morning the station-keeper by mistake set the, burglar at liberty along with the lodgers. . | A MINING SQUABBLE. _. . There is trouble in thaanining camp of the Benton Gold and Silver Mining Company of this city, said to be-engaged in working for ore in the vininity of Georgetown, Col. Yes- terday. Tueodore Noel, the editor of the In- vextgator, swore out a warrant before Jus- tice Brayton for the arrest of Leonard. G. Calkins, the President of the -long-named .Company, charging him on three or four counts with having made away with some $2,500, the property of the Company. Calk- ‘ifs, who is: also the Treasurer of the eorporation, Was Promptly arrested and held to bail, in Sl ing... over to tho’ ‘of owned the mine, organized the Company and sold it to them, he taking stock for his pay. About eighteen months ago -he: borrowed $2,500 as Presidentand gave the Company’s bond as security. At the time he represented that that sum of money would be sufficient to open the mine and expose pay ore in large quantities. Some blocks of stock he also sold, represen H that_ the Piogeeds would be faithfully devoted to digging tunnels, etc. Some months after the loan mentioned’ was made, the Trustee who held the notes learned that aman named Evans,’ to whom Calkins deeded the mine, and by whom it was conveyed to the Company, claimed that he was the President of the corporation, and so advised the financial agents in New York, with whom the Company’s bonds were de- posited. - The peestee not anxious to-sad- dle himself witH-s lawsuit, applied for relief to Judge Moore, and the case is on file some- where on the court’s docket. Some of the stockholders who are anxious to know the ac- tual condition of affairs have frequently ap- plied to Calkins for information Which hehas ‘uniformly refused_to impart. The treasury of the Company is empty, several minera’ viens have beer entered up against the mine, and this suit is brought for the purpose of compelling Mr. Calkins to show his hand, WEST SIDE THIEVES. . Detectives Reid and Costello yesterday amused themselves by taking in a number of the most notorious vagrants and thieves to be found loafing about in the West Division. The list included Patrick Kane, alias John Holden, John Meehan, alias | John Boyle, John Jacobs, John Quinn, Edward Hoyle, John Wall, alias Charles, Scott, and Winfield Osborn, colored. Later in the day they arrested Samuel W. Church, whom they caugi:t trying to pawn or sell a number of grain-sacks at’a pawnshop, No. 115 West Randolph street. When closely questioned at the station, he broke down and confessed that the sacks were stolen from his employers, Maguire & Co., 201 Washington: street. In his possession were found five pawn-tickets, calling for watches, coats, and other articles of clothing, all of which are supposed to have been stolen. Shortly after this they arrested in an ad-- joining pawn-shop, No. 113 on the street, a young man who gave the name of Frank Preston -and his residence’ No. 155 ‘Warren avenue, and who was tryin; tp dispose of eleven -small four-bladed, pearl-handied pocket-knives, worth at whole- sale about $l each. As he could give no satisfactory account of the goods, he was taken to the station, where he broke down completely. His name was not Preston, but Frank P. Bull, and the address given was simply the place where he had sold one knife out of thé dozen. He: was employed, he said, as .a_ ‘clerk in the hardware store of E. Hunt & Sons, No. 180 Lake street, and the knives had been taken from that store without the knowledge of the proprietor, or, in plainer terms, had been “lifted.” In th sion were found a revolver, some pawn tick- ets, and an overcoat of fine dark beaver, which is supposed to have been stolen. eh SENTENCE DAY. It was “sentence day” in the Criminal Court ‘yesterday, but, though thirty-three prisoners were brought before Judge Tuley and allotted terms of various lengths in the Jail, House of Correction, or Penitentiary, the proceedings were exceptionally uninter- esting. : + The only convict of any prominence ar- raigned was Michael Crowley, one of the “pepper-robbers.” .The Court told him that the crime of which he -had been . convicted was one of the most heinous known to the law. The jury having fixed the penalty, it was out of his power to add to it or take from it. Hethen sentenced him to seven years in Joliet, one dayin each year to be spent in solitary confinement. In the case of Henry Leverenz, who was convicted of burglary and given three years bye jury, his lawyer wanted the Court to ow the plea of not guilty to be withdrawn. and a plea of ‘guilty entered, sothat the Court could give him a shorter term.

In his possession were found a: massive gold badge, a quantity of postage-stamps and cards, pavn-tickets:for articles of clothing, and arevolver. He is held at Central: Sta- tion awaiting further developments, Richard Butler, 65 years of age, was locked upatthe West Twelfth Street Station last night, ¢harged with assaulting Frank Gar- yey, 30 years of a; living at No. 162 Nine teenth street. ‘The old man thought the younger one too intimate with his wife, and ina fit of jealousy stabbed him in the arm with a tablefork. Mrs. Butler denies the ‘ld man’s insinuations, and. threatens him yengeance when he gets out of his present scrape. ~~ Joha Malloy, well known in criminal cir- ‘eles, was_ yesterday arrested by Detectives Loughlin and Carey, and later in the day was sitively identified by F. A. Lindestrand, leweler, at No. 160 Twenty-second street, and y others as one of the thieves who succeed- edin making a sneak of $600 worth of watch- es: from that store last November. John Ryan, allas “ Rhiny,” ® principal of the gang, is' under heavy bail awaiting trial in the Criminal Court. ~ — - New-Year’s Eve a horse and bu; belong- ing to Frank Schweinfurth was stolen from in front of Joe Mielilie’s lager-beer saloon, at the corner of Clark and Jackson street. ‘The thief was a young man whom Mr. Schwein- furth had treated in the saloon. The horse went home, the buggy was found wrecked ‘on Canal. street, and the harness is still :missing. Yesterday Joe Miehle ‘sighted. tha thief standing in front of the saloon, and, ignaling an officer, he caused his arrest. At oe armory he .gave the name of Eckert John Sullivan, employed by W, Augustus No. 38.

He always thought well of Sullivan, but this last escapade has shaken his faith. Both prisoners were held b: Jastice Walsh in $300 each to the Crimina) Court, as it had been their intention to get away with as much as possible of Mr. Ray’s property. MISCELLANEOUS. Wong Ching Foo, alias Ah. Wong, the Ce- Jestial lecturer and lawyer, is in trouble once more. While strolling along Fifth avenue. yesterday he was accosted bya disciple of Dennis Kearney, and he essayed to “talk back,” for which he was rewarded witha ‘swollen eye. We went before Justice De- mare and swore outa warrant tor os man’s mn a charge of assaul atiery. As yet the Kearneyite is at large. ie ‘William Houlihan is a singularly unfor- tunate man, who. has been up before: Justice Morrison several times lately on different charges. Each time he has taken a continu- ance, and each time he has reappeared he has’ | been accused of another offense. He was first arrested for stealing a quantity of jew- elry from a Blue Island jeweler, and was put under bonds of $1,000 for trial. The second time he came up a_charge of vagrancy was preferred against him, and he gave an addi- tional bond of $200 for a hearing yesterday. _When he appeared. in court he was enter- taine me 6 reading of a@ warrant, sworn out by Miss Nellie Donovan, for his arrest on a charge of bastardy. He was put under bonds’ of $1,500 to appear. on this .latter gharge Jan.°8, and under additional bonds of $1,200 to answer to the other charges Jan. 13. During the past few months Mr. and Mrs. Sibley, who reside. at No. 108 Loomis street, have been very much annoyed by burglars attempting to gain an entrance to ir house, and no less than four efforts in that direction have been made by unknown parties, but in every case, with one exception, they have been driven off before shey have secured any plunder, About 6 o’clock Friday evening, while Mrs. Sibley was in the dining-room, three men succeeded in getting into one oi the upper rooms by ‘means of a friendly storm-door and *a water-pipe. While they were engaged in ransacking the upper floor, Mrs, Sibley had occasion to go upstairs on some errand, and she surprised the burglars in the midst of their work. The fellows had heard her coming up-stairs, and two of them. _escaped_ by the way they had entered. - Mrs. Sibley entered the room before the third man had achance to get out. Te drew ‘a revolver, pointed it at her, and, walking backward toward the window, he jumped to the ground, a gistance of fourteen eet, and escaped. Mrs. Sibley immediately gave the alarm, but no traces of the burglars could be found, It was diseovered that they had succeeded in carrying off about $200 worth of jewelry. The detectives were put in_ possession of the facts, and were care- ful to keep the affair very quiet. At last ac- counts the men have not been captured. © a ‘ ELEVATOR ACCIDENT, For several days past the Ellithorpe Safety Air-Cushion Company has been putting ina patent cushion under the elevator in -the American -Express’ Building, on Monroe street, between State and Dearborn. Yester- day a final examination was made, and the workmen concluded that the casing of the elevator-shaft on the first floor was not suf- ficiently strong to withstand the heavy pres- sure of air produced when the elevator de- scended. ‘They accordingly had a brace put ‘in. Supt. Seaton, however, desir- ing to test ,the thing as it stood, had the brace removed, and, a few min- utes before noon, with ‘Frederick Edlithorpe and'the workmen, went to the upper floor and got ready for the’ test. Several egRs were placed on the platform of the car, the cables were cut, and there was @ very'sudden drop. Asthecar descended in its fearful course the pressure of the air in the constant- ly lessening space, of course, increased, the” lath and plaster which formed the weak ing easily gave way, thus allowing the air to rush Sub and: the car went crushing down 1 yasement. A lot of glass was ruined,. and there was 2 broad waste of lath and plas- ter and things, and the test will cause a net loss of about $200. Some of the eggs were broken by the. falling glass, but those under the seats came out intact, showing, what was otherwise plain enough, that the cushion would have been a success had the. casing been as strong as thé workmen knew it was not but ought to have been in order to resist the pressure of the airagainst its sides. A reporter of Tne Trimune. interviewed Mr. Hale, of the elevator firm of W. E. Hale & Co., who happened to be in the vicini the time of the accident, and requested him to express his opinion as to the valne of the air-cushion for elevators. i ‘Mr. Hale replied that_some of the experi- ments made with the Elithorpe air-cushion have demonstrated to the public that these attachments are only useful when properly } applied. “While 1 think the air-cushion may be a good.thing if constructed in a mechanical way, still I believe the best way is to make elevators so secure that the air- cushion will nevér be needed.” MICHIGAN APPOINTMENTS. + Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
