Two weeks ago, I left Washington for the Lebigh mountains, bringing with me a lad of fitteen whose health was suffering in the mtas- matic neighborhood of the Potomac flats.

The s>luiion May be in “Better die than be out of the fashion.” At any rate, advice ts thrown away in such cases, and I'll give none of it. A good many visitors find their way up here im the summer.

Meii.—Villages, being without sewers or good Grainage, are nearly all afflicted with worse smells than cities; they are not healthy resoris in summer. My chief object in writing was to tell you SOMETHING OF THE LEUIGH VALLBY, & noted coal region. Its immense stores of fuel and easy access to the large markets have given it an enormous trade and made it the sea‘ Delaware iron works, at this place, inctuaes Dlast and puddling furnaces, Besssmer steel Works, roiling mill, railrosd iron mill, machine «ec.

There are several other manufactorics; the most noted are zinc worgs and planing machines, and the most curious One, the works for that part of machinery called “the governor.” This one oes is furnished here tor all parts of the Jnited States, In and about the valley are the zinc and coal mines, From Mauch Chunk, near which are valuable coal mines, the grade to Philadelphia is of Such gradtal and regular descent that hardly any power 1s necessary to take down loaded coal trains of from 100 to 150 cars, 1see them passing several times a day. As this supply of a iarge city has been going on for besriy a half century, the wealth accuimu- lated in this vailey 1s probably equal to that on apy equal territory in the Ualted States, out- side Of the cities. Millionaires are counted here by the dezen. Fountain Hill, a quarter of South Bethlehem, shows a group of very costly and handsome Tesidences, all the result of coal, zine, railroad and iron operations, mauazed with brain power. THE USEFUL CAREZR OF A PENNSYLVANIA BUSI- ° NES3 MAN. One of the most successful business men of this valley was the late ex-Governor Asa Packer. He was true as steel, clear-headed and energetic; result—wealth and honor. His public Spirit led him to establish, ta his life-time, the Lehigh University, and to bequeath to 15 gay. fo to make its endowment equal to $3,000,000. His idea was to make it the best scientific and tech. ical school in the country, a school for the thorough instruction of mining, mechanteal and civil engineers, metallurgists, chemists, Practical mathematicians and scientide men enerally. During his life, the college was ua- ‘ortunate In i's presidents, none of them being | geod managers, aud one of them nearly ruining the institution by trying to run it in sectarian | grooves. It had few students, but made good engincers ¢f them. At Gov. Parser’s death, two Jears ago, his large bequest put the college on an ledependent footing. Mr. Lamberton, a lawyer and energetic abd judicious manager, Was made president. The new impulse wad felt at once; the freshman class Increased from less than twenty to forty-five. Last year the Incresse Was matntained,and the next freshman ciass will, probably, number fifty. It would D3 more then a hundred if the qualifications for admission were uot so rgorousiy insisted on. Great thoroughness is an absolute condition. As no tuition fee is charged, or fee for library or instruments, the college authorities can, and co, make thelr own terms. This college 13 not Tun ty the students. At Yale, Harvard, Cor- nell and ADn Arbor the examinations in the English branches, other than mathematics, are superficial; here they are severe. Lehigh wants thorough students, or none, The foundations are looked to. Of candidates last year, only 44 passed. There will be5 graduates this year, and about 25 next year. @ course is very — there being about 1S teachers to less than a hundred students. The library ts free to all the students. It has an annual income ct = pool of which is expended in the purchase io “ ‘The college buildings are beautifully situated on the slope of the Lehigh mountain and above the town of South Betniehem.

Interesting Criminal Statistics—Art Notes— Notable Murders —News- paper Gossip. [Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.) Panis, June 7, 1881. THE PHILOSOPHY OF CRIME. Dr. Lacassagne, In investigating the crimt- Ballty of France since 1325, gives a cosmopoll- tam character to his inquiry. . He divides man- Kind into three strata: those with large fore- head, or the intelligent; large back head, where dominate the passions, and the third the in- termediate stratum. Civilization consists in developing the anterior at the expense of the Posterior part of the brain,—a work of ages. Taken in the mass humanity is what it was at its commencement, | fetich, ;For the first cate- gory punishment is nextto useless; the code was not made for them; honor, religion, consciencs and public opinion keep them in the paths of duty. In France, poWoe, judges, &2., Compose an army of 200,000 persons to look atcer crime. Now, the latter is one of tho conse- quences of social life, as much as birth, mar- Tiage and death, Each year sees produced the fame number of crimes, in the same order, in the same regions; each class of crime has its special and invariabie distribution by sex, age And season, Diderot maintained that oaly med- ical men Were competent to write upon mota- physics. Dr. Lacassagne belleves that pen- alles have had but an insigalficant eff-ct on the geteral march of crime, aad thas if the latter has become more general. {t hai dt- minished in intensity. Many suicides,he mata- tains, are but criminals modified by social causes. The greater part of crimes against pro- perty takes place in winter, and against per- sons in summer. Infanticide is most prevatent during the first four months of the year, follow- ing thus the months of conception of summer, Murders reach their maximum in July aud August, and are pecullar to warm weather. ‘The latter dominates also viola’ ions of the per- ‘son, and especially of children. May represents the highest number of potsoni@®s, and January and October—when the rigorous season com- mences and reaches its maximum—of parricides, The inclination to crime ts four times more strong with man than woman. Quetelet hold3 that woman is retained by the sentiment of Shame and modesty more than man; by her state of dependence and physical weakness. Women assassinate more in the interior of the family than outside—polsoning, the arm of the coward, is with them a favorite weapon. Thoy commit more domesi{c robberies and thefts 1n churches; they are more enterprising—where danger ts least—and owing to their inferiority of instruction there are certain crimes that women cannot commit. ‘The maximum of crime for the two sexes— the penchant being developed earlier with man than woman,—ts between 25 and 30 years of age. One-fitth of all the crime ts committed during this luster, and as man advances in age and loses strength, he resorts to cunning. Fayet | in his professional statistics has demonstrated that the most specific criminality 1s in the ranks | of lawyers, notaries and baili(f,—men versed in thelaw. Dr. Lacassagne states fewest crimes fre committed on @ Friday, that the “bottle” 18 the cause of most of the in- fractions of the law, and that would be largely diminished were it po33ible to pay wages dally. Professor Lombroso concluies that crimtnais have a special phystogonomy; such as thick and curled hair, absence of beard, skin brown or dark colored, oblique ey2s,smal!ness of skull, large jaw-bones, retreating foreheads, and us- duly developed and pitcher-handle ears. These traits, wnlted to the facts laid bare by post- mortem examinations, connect the Europ:an criminal with the Mongoi type and pre-nistorle man. Dr. Bordler has studied the skulls of 33 in- dividuals guillotined, and found they possessed all the characteristics pecullar to prehistoric Taces; he concluded then the erimtnal to bea savage tn a civilized country, a monster com- parable to the proseny of domestic animals that degenerate into ancestral wildness. Vi- docq, ex-chief of the detectives, divided rob. bers into thteves by profession and by oce1- sion. Dr. Lacassagne believes the former can- Lot be reformed. He concludes in co-ordi- Rating the criminality of France, since halt a century, With all th? fluctuations, meteorolog- teal, economical, poliuical and social of tae country. NUNS VERSUS LAY NURSES. In the senate, the goverament has been de- feated by a strong majority against its plan for superceding in the public hospitals, the buns by lay nurses. Public opinion ia with the senate, and demands repression or su Pression only of orders that meddle with poit- Ucs.

Paris has been a ilttle startled from its cynt- cism by the two recent cases of unfalthtul love. A commission merchant was informed of his wife's Infidelity; he-adopted the usual ruse, feigned a voyage on business; the paramour uly arrived, was surprised by the husband, who pursued him down the servants’ stair case; botn ‘Were armed with revolvers, exchanged several Shots without inflicting tnjury. The crowd arrested the half-dre: Don Juan. The other case was that of a telegraph clerk, who had for mistress a young and very pretty cook. ‘They lived in an attic, and Jed a cat and dog life. He was formerly a soldier, and had lost an arm—in a duel The amputated arm he preserved in a bottle, as an ornament for nis chimney plece. The wooden member was sus- pended agamst the wall, never worn, and Was chiefly used to beat the unfortunate girl, who, having become enceinte, wag Ubreatened with abandonment.

The first newspaper established in this country was the Guzette de France, by Renaudat, on the 30th of May, 1631. It is now, consequently, 250 years old, and fully reflects Mts antiquity. It was lett to the Figaro to improve the occasion by issuing a special sheet to commemorate the two-and-a-half centennary, while blowing, of course, its own horn. The Gazette appeared once @ week, four quarto pees and was more the organ of Renaudat’s usiLess—chemist, broker and salesman—than & newspaper. However, iC soon quickly ac- quired the latter character, eu, some alleg came a constant contributor. To Dr. Veron belongs the discovery of the /euilleton, or romance, in the daily paper.

A A Commercial Travelicr Thinks His Sweetheart is Too Fond of Beer and Liquor. (London Telegraph.] Ia London, on May 23, before Mr. Jastice Denman and a special jury,an action for breach of promise of marriage, by Miss Emma Eva Partridge, the daughter of a tarmer, against Mr. Richard Woosnam, @ commercial traveller, was tried. Miss Emma Eva Partridge, the plaintif, gave evidence in support of her case, At the con- ! clusion of the correspondence the defendaat ; gave the following reazons why he could not | make her his wife: (1) Deceiving him as to ner lulness, which, however, he had known all about; (2) telling him to go somewhere elisa with his love, whereas she had never satd so but in answer to bis remark that he did not love her so much as he had done, she satd that he ought to have gone somewhere else with his love; (3) by the frightfal passion she had dis- played on Whit Monday, whereas a3 a fact the defendant at parting that night had sald waat @ happy day he had spent; and (4) a reasoa he gcarcely liked to speak of, as 16 was no fault of hers, which she uaderstood to apply to the Tact that her mother used to drink more spirlis than they, who only drank water, liked, Tue defendant told her that besides his shop he had a salary of between £400 and £50 a year, aad some houses and flelds in Wales. In cross-examinatton the plaintiff sald taat in September, 1879, she suffered from toothache, bat was quire well agaiu before Novembei Her face swelied again about Caristmas tin. and the defendant saw It in that state. Mr, Day—Did you not have some disagres- Ment with the defendant as to what piace you should stop at in Epping Forest, and have so:ne disagreement at the end of the day? The Platntifl—Never. Mr Day—Did you not stop at some place la the forest to have some refreshment? The Plaintif—Yes; the defendanv’s sisters and I had some lemonade. Mr. Day—Did you not have some beer and gin and water? The plaintiff replied, in an indignant voice, “Never,” and to further questions sata, “{ have never taken so much whiskey that I poss bad to be taken home by the defendant's sisters.” Dr. H. 8, Johnson and Dr. Harding gave evi- dence to the effect that the swelling in the Pplaintift’s face only resulted from a bad tooth and lability to catch cold. She showed no traces whatever of intemperance. Mr. Wailace Partridge, the plaintiff's brother, Said that on the return of the plaintiff trom Epping Forest on Whit Monaay she was not the worse for liquor, and the defendant was very affectionate toward her. Mr. Richard Woosham, the defendant, sald he had only seen the plalnuff about twenty Umesin four years,and had not, therefore, made much progress in his intimacy with her in that time. His district for traveling was between Newcastle and Glasgow, which pre- vented him from seeing her, as she lived in Devonshire or stayedin London. In March, 1880, he went to the plaintiff's house to see her immediately betore tae expected marriage, but on his arrival found she was seriously ill, with the doctor and nurse In attendance. He felt very much anncyed at having been brought so farfor no purpose, and he left a day or two afterward. When he saw the platntif In London shortly after, he told her that he was not pleased at the want of honesty in her family and herself in keeping him ignorant of her iilness. She replied that it was no business of his, and he then sald no more aboutit. Afterward he asked her agatn and she then told him that he mast go some- where else with his love. On the day they weat to Epping Forest the plafnuff, at tue first place where they had refreshment, took a glass of beer, and he had lemonade with others. Atan- other fin she had gin and cold water, and he had some lemonade to keep her company. At another she had two glasses of beer. When on the way home she complained of being thirsty, and bad a glass of port, when he tock a cup of tea with her {languter}; and afterward, at an- other inn, she drank two glasses of sherry alone, and after they reached home they were going to have cold meat and tea, but the plain- ‘ull asked for stout, and she had a whole bottle toherself. [{Laughter.] During the eariier part of the day he had not treated her coldly, but as one whom he loved, until the second glass of sherry, (laughter). but that was too much for him. Tne piaintiit much annoyed him by calling his sisters nasty, disagreeable, deceitful giris, When he walked with her to her brother's house in answer to her question why he had been so cold toward her, he told her what be thought of hercon- duct, and enumerated the nin glasses she had taken. She sald that was no matter of his, and she would have another glass before she went to bed. His (defendant's) salary was £330 a year, and he recelved no commission. He nad set up his brothers and sisters in business, and aliowed his sisters £30 a year each. The prop- erty in Wales produced £24 a year, to be divided in four equal shares in the family. His ailow- ance for traveling was 24s. a day, but he could Put no part of that into his pocket, Mirs Surah Jane Woosnam, defeadant’s elder Sister, sald that in September, 1879, when visit- ing plaintiff's house, she went with the platn- i ard her sister and the piatntifi’s b-otaer to Staci Farm, and when there the plaintiif took four giasses of whisky and beer, and arrived home atter tuemselves in a very dirty state Ing had a tamble, She and her sister ped the plainuff upto bed, as she was in- ated, und was afterward very il The ihivg ceeu red twice afterward, and the them not to tell the defendant. 3 w the plaintifl take the wioe and other drinks on t Monday.

In the littie shop stood an oll-tank with a Spigot tn = and the measure was placed under e Spigot “Good gracious! thought the gallon, “what & very responsible position!” “Look out! down there,” exclaimed the Spigot, “here is a drop.” “ Have the goodness to remember that I am 4 whole galion,” said the measure angrily. “I measure all, contain all, and know all.” “Good!” answered theepigot. “Look out for the es And he let one into the meas- ure, tink! ae how much fs thatz” asked the mi Js less than 4 gallon,” returned the easure, fun.” sald the » and he “This is great gr the time which must _ "ne went on ee nk before he could build a little new cottage.

As to the last, he had nothing more to say than is Jamillar, “He often walked up and down, anxious to find something to say to the people onaSunday. He would sometimes get the outline of asermon in his mind, with a text, and, after saying to himself, ‘That will do,’ he would find in his well-marked Bible how it had been preached before, while what he had thought out closely resembled the printed copy. Time had been when at 10 o'clock on Saturday evening, or even on Sun- day morning he had found bimself without a text; but sometimes, when thus driven in a corner, with Lothing to say, he did best.” What & contrast to the practice of Sir Roger de Coverley’s chaplain, or the frankness with which the author of the “Hore Pauline” tn- forms us that he changed bis quarters because the change added fifty pounds a year to bis income, saved him double housekeeping and enabled him to dispense with the task of writ- ing fresh sermons. To ba sure, Mr. Spurgeon does not write books like Paley’s, nor are his Sermons s0 full of sober thought. But many a preacher will feel for him. There was a clergy- inan Who, on being complalued of to his sishop for delivering the Same sermon over and over again, declared that he intended to go on Preaching it tll his congregation hal aporo- priated all the teaching it coatained. Is some not wholly dissimuar resource beyoad the reach of a humorist Uke tue Pontiff of tue Sur- rey Tabernacle? ; Mr Spurgeon was ¢xceediagly frank apa the subj-et of praise and prayer. ‘Tne report says tab he “advocated praise inee lags Prayer did nov always come from his pump when wasted, and it was good to pout a hithie water down,” ' ‘Tals from aman with 89 great a git of improvisation, is interesting. It nit-, aimost biunUs, one eoarce of the pain walcu some devout ple—who value the prayer aad praise a littie more tian the sermon, p2rhaj Would feel in listening to an; thing like “the long prayer.” It 1s oniy too piain that, to use Mr. Spurgeon’s own words, the “prayer does not always come fromthe Dump when wanted;” —may we complete the image by saying, when the handl2 is worked up and down? Hear a few words from a_ living divine: “The thoughts and aspirations which loox direc; to God, and the kindling of which among a fraternity of men constitutes sovial worship, are natives of solitude; the speciacie gt an assembly is a hindrance to their occur- Tence; and though, where they have been de- voutly set down beforehand, they may be re- assumed under such obstacle, they would not spontaneously rise, till the presence of a muitt- tade was forgotten, and by a rare effort of ab- Straction the lone!iness of the spirit was_re- stored.” Such testimony might be multiplied indefinitely; but there 13 evidently a very great difference between the spirit in which tie sub- Ject—or the fact—of prayer 1s approached. | Some look upon prayer as the prostration of the soul in walling communion; seeking and asic- ing, iu may be, but not pushing or pliing things up. To others, prayer seems to be more of an active exercise; or a regular sort of outpour- ‘pg, well ckened with doctrine. Of course, prayer may be an active exercise with us all; but it was a little surprising to find John Wilson,.1n defending certain services, Jay It down, or at least accept the proposition, tLat “prayer must be unwritten, unpremedt- tated, else it is not prayer. Can the heart ever went fitting words?” concludes Wilson. We should say,—Yea, very often, indeed, and that,in fact, half the prayer of plous souls goes up unworded. Here is a short petition, Which is five hundred years old, and is weil seasoned by use: “Ob, God! who art the truth, make me one with Thee in everlasting love. i am weary of reading, I am weary of hearing. In Thee alone fs the sun of my desires. Let all teachers be sileut, let the whole creation ba dumb before Thee, and do Thou only speak to my soul.’ How 13 the tratbfulness of this prayer of a med val monk affected by Its be- ing a5 familiar asthe “Prayer of St. Chrysos- tom,” at the end of the morning and evening service? The general question of the use of fixed forms we should, of course, not dream of arguing here, but do not our hearts tell us that one great—often overwhelming—advantage of a form which 1s known by rote,and,30 to speak,sat- urated with emotion by frequent use, 1s that the mere words pass uncrit |, and that the thought of the soul Is led upward without any stiuggle? Of course, If no prayer is geauine— im public at all events—unless it is “pumped up,” more or leas (we do not quote the phrase offensively.) cadit quaestio till there 1s water enougb. But why should not a preacher like Mr. Spurgeon have full liberty to use written or printed prayers, when he pleases? Dr. Chalmers used to hide his written prayer in his Moderator’s cocked hat; but why should not the minister be at liberty to use, in public, utterances of other devout souls which have ceived the hall-mark of universal acceptance? To collect a goody volume of such prayers would be about one day's work; and why should not any minister who needed it, or ilked it, be at }iberty to use this collection, in- terpolating or not, as he pleased? Why should hot this de as lawful as pouring water into the pump by slpgicg bymus, which are not only forms, but very elaborate forms !adeed? STOLEN BOTILES AND BASKETS: Dealers Buying Tacir Own Property in Despair of Preventing Tneft. “Iva pretty rough on aman to compel bia: to buy his own property,” an offizer of the Nes York Bottling Company sald, referring to th: fact that it {sa common occurrence for junk dealers to sell to bottlers and manufacturers of mineral waters bottles bearing the imoriat o: the buyer biown In the giass. It appears that for many years the laws for the prevention of the stealing of bottles have been practically a dead letter. The practice of the business is to deliver the filled bottles to customers without taking any deposit for the bottles. The drivers Of the wagons are expected to collect from their customers all these bottles when the contents have been sold. But it often happens that the driver cannot get bis bottles back. Tila ts par- Ueularly the case where a retail liquor busines: is done. A customer desires to buy some liquor and has no bottle. It is very handy for the Uquor dealer to lend a soda water or lager beer boitle, which probably will never be returned Tn the course of a season the bottles missed in this way become a considerabie loss. One bot- ting concern loses about $4,000 per year, ‘The law provides that the possession of a bot- Ue stamped with the name ot the owner, wuen the pos:essomis not the owner, renders the pos- Sessor lable to prosecution. But the law has proved a dead letter, and owners have been un- able to seize their own property, for the reason that the junk men claim that in some cases Dar- keepers Charge a deposit ou the bottles lent, which is equivalent toasale. In consequence Of this difficulty of enforcing the law the bdot- Ues find their way quickly to the junk shops, and from there are sold either to the originai owners or to others. Trereis no bottling estab. Mshment that has not in its possession bottles belonging to other concerns. One dealer told the reporter that he procured a pecullar lot of labels for his bottles and began to s2!l tue con- tents, when he found the bottles disappearing rapidly. Before he had put upon the market all the bottles of that kind he had intended to. use for the season he began to buy them back from the junk men. feeespheied have been made to seize the bottles in e have therefore found it more profitable to buy their own bottles back from junkmen than to buy new bottles from the manufacturers. Soda water bottles cost about $5.60 per grosa, beer bottles cost ie gross. The bottles are therefore they contain, Yet one driver has been known to lose 157 dozen bottles ina month. When the dealers notice that a customer leses a great many bottles they Whi refuse to serve him, keeper near the canal basin has found it dimicult to get served with coda water or lager beer in bottles. The reason is that the boatmen buy liquor in small quantilics and borrow bottles to put it Scmetimes the drivers of wagons sel Do} tied stuff steal the botties. One man was di tected taking a off, his customers, co! for bis own benefit. when different Grivers serve the same hotel or bar room, Will steal one another's bottles. The costliest LUMBER.
