Our Hebrew contemporaries have generally a holiday this week. It ia a noticeable fact that all the religious press this week, without distinction of sect or partisan bias, have touching eulogies upon the date and lamented William H. Seward. Our Indian Sammer. The present meteorologic signs indicate that qe are entering upon the brief, but charming, season of Indian Summer. During its continu- ance, the beautiful idea of the poet of Winter lingering in the lap of May is usually transposed, and we have May smil- ing in the embrace of Winter. In the United States this peculiar climatic phenomenon fre- quently begins after the middle of October and lasts several weeks. Its well-known char- acteristics—a calm, soft and hazy atmosphere, red-tinted skies, mild and genial temperature and absence of heavy rains, dry fogs, smoky and dust-laden air and the sun, shorn of his beams, rising and setting like a ball of fire— are sometimes prolonged far into December. ‘This delicious season is found in our country as far north as Lake Superior. It 18 more marked and conspicuous in Kansas and Mis- souri, prevails in the Northwest and even transfuses its exquisite loveliness and mellow- ness into tlie Canadas, but, strange to say, is almost unknown in the Southern States. The Indian Summer, although not confined fo the United States, but frequently observed in Central Europe, Where it has long been known under the time-honored names of “St. John’s’ and “St. Martin’s’’ Summer, has attracted but little attention from scien- tists, and its philosophy has yet to be ex- plained. As the pole of the earth in either hemisphere is turned away from the sun after the Autumnal equinox the solar influence daily decreases, and the area of polar refriger- ation, with an ever-widening periphery, makes itself felt in the high latitudes. The immense liberation of latent heat which now occurs during tho formation of new ice, and the con- densation of vast quantities of vapor trans- ported northward by ‘the winds of Summer,”’ will probably explain the phenomenal interval of fine and comparatively warm weather so grateful to everybody. The singular facts that the Indian Summer is peculiar in both hemi- spheres to the middle and higher latitudes, and that in this country it is most marked and iovely in the far Northwest, appear to estab- lish the correctness of the above view. According to the latest weather reports from the Signal Bureau we may look forward to the enjoyment of this great climatic boon, which during its continuance makes New York more attractive and enjoyable than at any other season. The Erie Canal Controversy—How to Accommodate All Views. Mr. Waddell wants to drain the Erie Canal * and make its bed a track for a freight railroad exclusively. He argues that freight is not car- ried rapidly enough by the canal, and that the capacity of the canal is not equal to the neces- sities ot commerce between the West and our commercial metropolis. Mr. Hadfield is op- posed to destroying the canal, and shows that it has been and will continue to be of immense advantage to the State and the city of New York. Now, both these gentlemen are right— Mr. Waddell as regards the necessity and value of a freight railroad, and Mr. Hadfield with regard to the importance of the canal to our commerce, The way to accommodate both is to have a freight railroad without using the canal bed for that purpose, and to maintain and improve the canal at the same time. There will be business enough for both. A through freight railroad as direct as possible from New York to Chicago, or even to St. Louis, we regard as necessary to accommodate the vast and growing trade of the West with the seaboard and this commer- cial metropolis. Unless we have it a large’ portion of that trade will be diverted by way of the great rivers to New Orleans and other points and by way of the lakes through Can- ada and the more eastern ports of the United States. But the Erie Canal wiil find ample business coming to it from Lake Erie and other ports off the line of the freight railroad and throughout the whole interior of our own great State. The productions of the country at present seeking an outlet at this port would give employment for both, and-in the course of a few years greater facilities even must be needed. Our capitalists and merchants should at once form a company and raise the means to construct a freight railroad to Chi- cago and St. Louis, and the State authorities should make the Erie Canal as effective as possible, YACHTING NOTES, ‘The following passed the HeRaLp telegraph tion at Whitestone yesterday :— Steam yacht Sunshine, from New York, bound eastward.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. The Henatp correspondent at the Cuban capital has forwarded us the following special despatch: — Havana, Oct. 19, 1872. Mr. A. Boyd Henderson, the Hzraxp special correspondent, who commissioned to visit Cuba for the purpose of collecting in- formation regarding the state of the insurrec- tion in the island, and had been imprisoned by order of the Chief of Police on suspicion was of being in league with the insurgents, was yesterday examined by several officials. He was released to-day by order of the Cap- tain General, but a mysterious silence as to the cause of his temporary detention, and refuse to say what ground there was for his being suspected and incarcerated. Mr. Henderson has been allowed to enter upon his tour through the island. the authorities maintain The Spanish Consul General to a Herald Attache, Immediately on the receipt of the telegram con- taining the newsof the arrest in Havana of Mr. A. Boyd Henderson, the Heratn Commissioner, whe was sent on a tour-of investigation to the Island ef Cuba, an attaché of tt: HeuaLp was instructed to visit Mr. De Uriarte, Cousul General of Spain, in New York, for the purpose of obtaining, if possible, some information regarding Mr, Henderson's arrest and procuring his speedy liberation. Mr. Henderson being the bearer of a letter of introduction from Admiral Polo, the Spanish Minister at Washington, to General Cebal- los, Acting Captain General of Cuba, the announce: ment ofhis arrest was startling news indeed. The HERALD attaché coutmunicates the result of his interview with the Consu! General in the following letter, addressed to the editor of the Henanp:— To THE Epiror OF THE HERALD :— Tecalled on Mr. De Uriarte, Consul General of Spain, yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, and in- formed him that we had received a telegram from Havana, announcing the arrest of Henderson, who bore a letter of introduction from Admiral Polo to Captain General Ceballos. Mr. De Uriarte was aware that Henderson had gone to Cuba for the HERALD on a tour of investigation among the in- surgents, for Admiral Polo had told him all about it. Mr. De Uriarte was highly astonished when he heard of Henderson's arrest. I am sure his sur- prise was genuine, and that he was ignorant of the news until [ had communicated it to him. He told me that Admiral Polo had given Henderson a letter to the Captain General only after his solemn promise that he would carry no secret correspond- ence from the Cuban Junta in New York to the in- surgents in the island, Henderson had acknow)- edged to the Admiral that he had several letters of introduction from Cuban sympathizers in New York to prominent insurgents in Cuba, but he at the same time promised that he would show them all to the Captain General immediately on his arrival in Havana. The Admiral, said Mr. De Uriarte, distinctly and repeatedly declared to Henderson that he could give him no assurance of safety, and that he only complied with his request for a letter of introduc- tion to General Ceballos, in order to facilitate his mission and as a personal compliment to Commo- dore Bennett, Mr. de Uriarte thought that Henderson had played false, that he had deceived the Admiral, had cai ried secret documents to the insurgents—docu- ments which he had most probably not shown to the Captain General as he promised, but which had, perhaps, been subsequently found on him, The Consul General could find no other explanation for his arrest. Henderson, said he, must have been guilty of some such gross offence to induce the Havana authorities to disregard a letter of introduction from the Minister of Spain, as it could not but deeply mortify Admiral Polo to find that he had recom- mended to the Captain General a person un- worthy of trust. If Henderson has been arrested without good cause Admiral Polo would take it as a personal affront to himself. But would the Ha- vana authorities inflict such a gratuitous insult on the Mimster of Spain? Would they under such cir- cumstances have arrested Henderson unless he was implicated in some intrigue or conspiracy? Why did Henderson linger in Uavana five days after his arrival’ Mr. de Uriarte in my presence wrote a long let- ter to Admiral Polo, explaining the whole matter to him. When he had finished he requested me. that the despatch about Henderson should not be published, for the present at least. If the matter would be kept silent nothing would probably be done to Henderson, however he might be impli- cated. He would quietly be put on the next steamer and shipped back to New York. But should the despatch appear to-morrow some ofthe papers, eager for a sensation, would have flaming articles about “Spanish outrages," with the usual bombast and exaggeration, which would be communicated by telegraph to Havana, provoke counter-de- monsirations by the Havana press, raise the Span- ish biood to a boiling heat, inflame the wrath of the volunteers, of the officials, of the Captain General himself, who would one and all insist, for their own justification, on poor Henderson's trial by court martial, and, if guiity, on his con- demnation. In such a case AdrMral Polo would be powerless, and probably himselt demand a strict investigation. Yours respectfully, New York, Oct. 19, 1872. A. BUCKLER.

Free Use of Steel on the Human Body at the Hub—Two Horrible Cases of Assas- sination Yesterday. Boston, Oct. 19, 1872, “Troubles never come singly.” Only a few days ago the staid and quiet community of this munici- pal organization Was shocked by the publication of the details of a murder in ward sixteen, rivalling that of Mr. Benjamin Nathan in the atrocity of its details, and also in the mystery which envelopes its causes and its yet unknown perpetrator. To-day this calamity has been followed by two others, both of which were fatal in their results. The first occurred in the works of the Boston Stamping Manufacturing Company, in Bridgeport, at two o’clock this afternoon. Stephen Foley and Thomas Henderson, two employés, had often quar- relled together on various points of difference, and at divers times each had sworn to take the other's ltfe. This forenoon Foley was seen to sharpen a chisel, and when the men returned from dinner this afternoon words ensued, concluding with Foley’s snatching the chisel from a bench and stab- bing Henderson to the heart. The murderer escaped, THE SECOND MURDER, and, it is hoped, the iast one of the day, occurred in a North street barroom at half-past eight o'clock to-night. Abiather Grant and Frank Clifford, the one twenty-two and the other eighteen years of age, were out on a “lark” on North street to see ie sights. While there they filled themselves with liquor and quarrelled, the trouble terminatin; with the drawing of a sheath knife by Grant an his plunging the seven-inch blade into the chest of his Opponent. Grant was soon after arrested and Clifford was taken to the City Hospital, in which eee he will die before sunrise. No cause is given for the murder except that of intoxication. A HORRIBLE AOCOIDENT.

But if the Indians had a paper of their own to tell their side of the story it is not imprebabie that the white man’s impartiality might be put toa severer test than it is likely to be presently; for T have lived upon neutral grounds myself, between the whites and reds, and know by actual expe- rience that the out-settlers used to lay plots Fe wt to excite the Indians to revolt in oraer to e for themselves profitable times as sutlers, if not settlers, by the sale of wood to the camps at $10 per cord and corn at ten shillings per bushel, when neither was worth one-tenth of the price de- manded, when the troops were sent without sup- protection. it is true that sometimes innocen white men are made to suifer for the wron; of others not so virtuous; but why do they not themselves punish the disturbers of the eace tr white as well as red’ History proves that in Pennsylvania the Aborigines always kept faith with the Quakers, and so would they alw: Wf sot first provoked to fight and take the @; action they otherwise might not obtain. 1 write this be- cause it ig no More than just that. both sides should be heard, and 1 know that white men have in some cases purposely provoked the Indians in order to bring out troops and make enormous profits by supplying them with stores.

At the September Special Term the cause was tries hetore Jude Pratt, who ted is decisiom on the [ith instant, Hudson G. Wolfe et al., plainti against David H. Burke and others, comprising Udolpho Wolfe Co., defendants. The following is a copy of his opinion :— Defendants are successors of Udoipio Wolfe, who tm 1848 recommenced the sale of an ardvle of gin under the name of “Wolte's Aromatic Sch@dam Schaappa.”” The plaintif’s sell an urticle of gin under the name of “Wolfe's Bell Schnapos,” and the principal question te be decided here is whether the plainwss by such sale violate any right of defendants. i bels and dreas used by de- nthat a buyer, using ordi- and defendants’ counsel very such similarity existed as te ound, to interfere with plain- itis not claimed that the on But, he argues that from the testimony given, itappears that Udolpho Wolte in his litetime acquired an exclusive right to use the word “Schnapps,” asapplied to such am article of commerce in this country. On this claim defendant's case must stand or fall, The word “Schnapps” is of foreign derivation, and it bag veen held that the person who first brings into our lan- ‘uuge a toreign word is not debarred by its previous use in another tongue from acquiring an éxeclusive right te use it ay a trade mark, Rillett vs. Carlin, U Abb.

But the plaintifisdeny that Udolpho Wolfe drst intro~ duced the word readin into use in the United States as the name of an alcoholic liquor, and claim that prior to 1848 the word had become a portion of our language, and was in familiar use as such a namo, ‘On the question of fact the pluinuils have Introduced several dictionaries, and have produced witnesses who testity to that eflect, as L construe their testimony. They have also brought to. my attention two popular novels, written by Captain Marryat, prior wo 184, in which the words “Schnapps,” “Scliiedam,” “bottle of Schnapps,” “pottle of Sehledam,’ are foutid in constant use in’ de- scribing an alcoholic beverage.
