Ovr Articie on “VeTERAN Pastors” would * seem to show that singleness of devotion to one’s fellow men is conducive to longevity. But if this is true why are there not more venerable editors?

The depression is divided into two areas at present, but will form only one during this . morning and prove a great storm. Already heavy rains and = snow have fallen along its longest diameter. The heaviest rainfall has been 1.05 inches at Beavenworth and 1.72 inches at Vicksburg. High southerly winds prevailed yesterday on the Texan coast. The pressure in the Southwest is decidedly low. An area of high barometer is now passing over the lakes and St. Lawrence Valley, following the depression of Wednesday \ toward the Atlantic. The latter disturbance is * pow moving off the coast of Nova Scotia, attended by @ rain area. Bad weather may be expected on the North British cousts on ‘Tuesday or Wednesday od The temperature continues high in the 4 South, moderate in the Atlantic, Central and Western districts, and low in the Northern or "upper lake and Red River regions. The Ohio ‘aud Central Mississippi have fallen. All the other rivers have risen, including the Upper and ev Mississippi. ‘The weather in New York i lay will be coo! and clear or partly cloudy, By followed toward night by warmer and threaten- “ing weather, and later by rain, in advance ofa store next. | s The Burling Slip Tragedy. _ From the very rarity of such events in such a quarter as the murder and suicide that startled Front street on Thursday there seems an incongruity between the act and its scene, as if the dramas of human pas- sion were incomprehensible in the prosy haunts of dull and monotonous trade. but the romantic feature which seemed im- ported into the crime from the mystery that surrounded its perpetration is fading away. Mr. Taintor's declaration that he saw Orville Jewett fire some of the shots into his own body will reduce the crime to NEW YORK HERALD, that number necessary as that he will fire a single one with that object. All the bullets from the smaller pistol entered the man’s breast within a space that a biscuit would cover, and the course they pursued in the body indicates that the weapon was held as it would probably have been held in the act of suicide. Our tuple Sheets. The ‘advertising columns of the Hzrarp quintuple shect this morning present the most convincing evidence of its popularity and prosperity. People seek in advertising the best medium for making their wants the ordinary level in this respect. But this statement seems likely to be strenuously denied. In our opinion it is true; and we are the more disposed to credit it because we believe the fact that Orville Jewett fired these shots can be established without this evidence, That Orville Jewett’s wounds were all in- flicted by himself follows from the fact that they could not have been inflicted by any other person present on the occasion. His uncle,’ the elder Jewett, and Mr. Dean were the only persons there. George W. Jewett was assuredly prostrated by the wound from the grenade, which tore from their attachments all the large muscles of one leg and opened the popliteal artery. His left leg was use- less as a support from the moment the ragged fragment of iron tore through it. He had but one leg to stand upon, and, startled, shocked, unnerved by the blow, and weakened greatly within a few seconds by the loss of blood, from which he died but a few minutes later, it is almost an inevitable inference that he fell to the floor instantly, with just strength left to cry out ‘Charlie! Charlie!” as heard by Mr. Taintor. He was, it mus# be remembered, @ man over sixty years of age. Now, the pistol shots heard by Taintor were heard after his name was thus called, and one or more of them filled the interval between the moment when he heard his name called and the moment when he reached the door of the inner office. He arrived there before all were fired. If, as seems well nigh certain, George Jewett called as he fell, the shots were therefore fired while he was on the floor, his life hastening away by the open mouths of the branches of that large vessel which is a continuation of, the femoral artery. Did he in that instant | of impending dissolution fire four shots at his nephew? If it be deemed possible, in view of his probable condition, known or calling attention to their ability to supply those of others, and are guided in its selection by an un- failing test which none buta great paper such as the Henaup can satisfy. We need only point to our quintuple sheet to-day to convince our renders that the Henarp is the best medium for every class of advertiser. Qur immense circula- tion alone guarantees this in a manner that admits of nodoubt. Every want that enters into the daily life of the merchant, the mechanic, the farmer or the financier finds some one who advertises in the Hxnaup ready to supply it. The paper is at once a great business directory and a purchaser's guide. The heaviest transactions of trade and the simplest inquiries pertaining to the household find their places in our advertis- ing columns. In comparing the evidences of the present popularity and prosperity of the Hznaup with those of the corresponding period of last year we have a most gratifying exhibit to present to our readers, particularly for the last two Sundays of March and the first two of April. On Sunday, March 18, 1876, we printed fifty-four columns of advertise- ments. For the corresponding Sunday in 1877 we had fifty-six. On Sunday, March 25, 1876, fifty-two columns ; for the corre- sponding day this year, sixty-four. Sunday, April 2, 1876, sixty-three colamns ; Sunday, April 1, this year, sixty-six. Lastly, on ‘Sunday, April 9, 1876, we printed seventy- one columns, and to-day we have nearly seventy-six solid columns filled with infor- mation for every reader of the Hzratp in the form of 3,391 advertisements, five of which occupy nine columns. These columns are as interesting to the great mass of our patrons as those devoted to the current news of the day, because they touch on subjects nearer to the’ mmediate welfare, Although we donot publish quin- tuple sheets every dag, still the pressure on our advertising columns is as great on week physically and mentally, that he could in that moment have fired any shots at all, it must be recognized that he could not have inflicted the wounds found on the body of Orville Jewett, unless Orville’s body was presented to him in the attitude of a person throwing handsprings, with his feet in the air. If it be thought possible that Orville Jewett could have leaned over his dying uncle in such a way as to put his body in the necessary position to receive from one on the floor the wounds found it must, to sustain that view, be also supposed that the man thus shot at did not start away at the first fire, but held himself in the same po- sition to receive at nearly the same point four successive loads. This is nota likely act for either the sane or the insane. It is therefore as nearly as may be im possible that George Jewett fired any pistol. Did Mr. Dean fire any? At the moment of the explosion Mr. Dean was seated at his desk writing. This is his, own statement; but it is also proved by his wounds; for a missile must be pro- jected from a point to the left of a man and a little behind him to wound his left leg and his right arm at the angle at which Dean is wounded. Even in that position it would be impossible for the wounds to be given as they are if the man sat in an ordi- nary attitude; but if the attitude of writing with the right frm a little extended on the desk be assumed they become possible. It is further pretty clear that Dean fled from the scene instantly, and with that instinc- tive haste that gets to a safe place first and reflects upon the reasons afterward; and he got himself out of range so effect- ively that all persons in the middle office agree that the very first fact following the explosion was the appearance of Dean stag- gering out of the door of the inner office. Now the janitor’s wife, who started from up stairs at the moment of the explosion, heard the pistol shots of the small pistol—the only one whose use is in doubt—while she was on the stairs. It is not likely that this woman went further in the same time than Dean did; for though he was hurt he was impelled by a more energetic motive, and thus when the shots were tired he must at least have crossed the office. If he fired them he fired them from near the door of the middle office and then turned and im- | mediately passed ont of that office and was helped down stairs. By whom, then, and by what process of legerde- main was the pistol which he must have had in his hand while at the doorway found between the bodies of the two Jewetts only a minute later? But Dean, it appears, is known to bea quiet person, incapable of the act supposed, and one who, if ever | forced to fire a shot in any circumstances, would be the first to make it known. In | view of all this it may be declared that the “theory” of thé police in regard to Dean is | a coarse and brutal assumption, without | any foundation whatever in fact or proba- | bility. | It was impossible for George W. Jewett to have fired the shots ; it was barely possible for Dean to have fired them; could Orville | Jewett have fired into his own person five pistol shots? There is the clearest possible evidence that he fired the shot from the large pistol. This was fired while the fire- man, Murray, was in the room. He was stooping over the dend body of George W. Jewett at the time. There was no other hving person but Orville Jewett there. At that time the four bullets from the smaller pistol wore already | in Orville’s body. If he had the strength to fire a fifth shot, with four bullets already in him, he had 4 fortiori the strength to have fired those that preceded. Moreover the one shot that he is known to have fired suf- ficiently indicates his suicidal purpose ; and the possibility being granted it is as easy to believe that a man of resolute temper days as on Sundays. In reality the adver- tisér derives the same benefit from his business announcement on a week day as on Sunday. His advertisement is classified as carefully and displayed os fully and correctly as in our quintuple sheets. This is done without any reference to the number of advertisements that may be printed, the same rule applying to all days. The mean- ing of this quintuple sheet is, therefore, that the Heraxp has steadily grown in pop- ularity and prosperity. It fulfilsevery re- quirement that the advertising public can demand, and is patronized on’ that account by every one who has an object to serve by advertising. Dumping Money and Garbage. A waggish correspondent has sent us a communication on street cleaning, which we printed in yesterday's ‘Complaint Book.’ He says :—‘‘We all want clean streets, and we don’t want contractors to lose money, nor do we wish to be continually making the heartless inquiry, ‘Where is the money dumped?” This is quite true and suggests the propriety of immediate action on the part of the Street Cleaning Bureau officials, They should without delay advertise for pro- posals from the kitchen maids of New York and Brooklyn for the cremation of the city garbage. Such a course would at once popularize that scientific bureau and afford superb facilities for chemical research at a cost of something less than thirty thousand dollars. A joint board of kitchen maids and bureau scientists could sit every Monday and Friday for the discussion of cremation, and splendid papers could be read at theso sessions on the effects of combustion on the fibrous texture of cabbage stumps, the ashy residue of full grown cats, or the tempera- ture necessary to destroy trichina spiralis in a piece of diseased pork. The officials should not hesitate to adopt this sug- gestion through diffidence in their own scientific knowledge. The kitchen maids would supply all that is necessary—the gar- bage, the chemical knowledge and the stoves. Our bureau officials could then draw their salaries with the calm conscious- ness of having performed their duty, and adverse public opinion would be silenced. A reaction would set in and serenades and applause would follow abuse. Perhaps tho magnificent results of this simple experi- ment might bring about in time the ap- pointment of kitchen maids to the sole charge of the Street Cleaning Bureau and the Health Board. Then, indeed, we might look for cleanliness, both in and out of doors, and the cremation of the city garbage without first dumping thirty thou- sand dollars to find out how it was to be done, Cremating The Herald Weather Service. The interest awakened in Europe by the success of the Heratp storm warnings proves how important they are considered to be to the interests of commerce and agriculture on that Continent. As announced in our Paris cable letter this morning, M. Lever- rier, the distinguished director of the Paris Observatory, has publicly tendered his con- | gratulations to the Henaxp at a general re- union of the learned societies in Paris. Ue also stated that he had instituted an in- quiry as to whether the Observatory should not avail itself of the HznaLp weather ser- vice. ‘This prompt recognition by the scientists of France of our meteorological labors encourages us to continue them with increased zeal and care. ‘The terrible storm that swopt over the British Islands on Wednesday last, particulars of which we print to-day in our London cable letter, was duly predicted by the Henatp on the pre- vious Friday morning, and we gave a warn- ing by eable five days in advance of the storm. We feel a just pride in pointing to these successes, marking, as they do,a new enterprise in journalism which has been in- will kill himself with five shots if he deems itiated by the Hunazp, SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 1877.-QUINTUPLE SHEET. Municipal Reform. Last night’s demonstration was scarcely needed to. prove how earnestly the citizens of New York desire to secure a substantial reform in the administration of our muni- cipal affairs. Nevertheless the Chickering Hall meeting was significant in the charac- ter of the persons present and will serve to convince the Legislature that it will not do to trifle with the important measures in relation to our city government which are now under consideration at Albany. So far as the plan of municipal govern- ment submitted by Governor Tilden’s Municipal Commission is concerned the duty of the Legislature is very clear. | If the whole subject should be laid over this year it would be impossible to secure the contemplated constitutional amendments until after the meeting of the Legislature of 1880, since such amendments must receive the indorsement of two Legislatures having different Senates before they can be sub- mitted to the people for their ratification. A new Senate will be elected next November for two years, and should that body be the first to act on the amendments they would have to await the confirmation of the Senate to be elected in 1879, which meets in Janu- ary, 1880; while, if passed by the pres- ent Senate, they could be indorsed by the Legislature which meets with a new Senate next year. As the action of the } present Legislature would only be prelimi- nary there can be no good reason why the proposed constitutional amendments should not be considered this session. The passage of these amendments, how- ever, should not be suffered to interfere with the measures of charter reform which are now under consideration, and which are designed to give the taxpayers of New York immediate relief and to re- move at once many admitted evils and abuses. It is to be regretted that Comp- troller Kelly has thought proper to enter his protest against immediate reform and relief. But his opinions should not have any other effect than to insure the success of the pending bills. Mr. Kelly is an am- bitious politician, and as the head, and, in- deed, the dictator of the powerful ruling party in the city he studies the interests of that party, probably unwittingly, be- fore the interests of the city. He objects to the reduction of department officers and salaries because it would curtail his political patronage, although it is notorious that the city government, if managed as a private business would be managed, could be better conducted than it is now at a greatly reduced expendi- ture. The Comptroller's letter should convince every taxpayer that it will be wise to secure municipal reform at once, without waiting for the constitutional amendments. Coaching and Outdoor Sports. Dr. Johnson's idea of happiness was to ride in a fast post-chaise, and no doubt the old gentleman enjoyed the ecstasy of mo- tion. Mere speed does not convey this de- light, for there is nothing particularly pleas- ant in a railroad journey. It is the con- sciousness of controlling a living force and intelligence that gives such peculiar pleasure to coaching. Four spirited horses, eager for the road, but subject to the will of their master, are very different from the senseless machinery of an engine. The horse is much more than what the boy described hin—a four-cornered animal with one leg at each corner—for he is one of the noblest and certainly the most useful of the brute com- panions of man. The fascination of the horse explains how gentlemen become coach- men and drive for their own satisfaction and that of their friends. Coaching, which was once a necessity, is now revived asa pleasure, and this beautiful outdoor amusement will begin this season in New York on May Day. Then Mr. Delancey Kane will sound his horn, crack his whip and resume those charming road trips which were so popular last summer. The Coaching Club has been greatly strengthened during the winter by the accession of new members and the build- ing of new coaches, and, as will be seen in | our account elsewhere, no less than seven- teen four-in-hands will turn out in the spring parade. ‘These will be driven by some of the best amateur whips in New York, and thecoaches will be brilliant with fashion and beauty. We are glad to note the in- ,creasing love of outdoor sports, and as coaching is one of the most exhilarating of them all we congratulate the club on the auspicious manner in which it begins the season of 1877. Palpit Topics To-Day. Dr. Talmage’s series of trade union ser- mons will make a big book if he keeps on multiplying them much longer as he has done. He purposes to give the men of Wall street a few hints on moral brokerage and banking to-day, and urge those who have it to add ao little common sense to their religion—very suitable advice, no doubt, for many people. The resurrection festival, just passed, has suggested to Mr. Alger the propriety of discussing the question whether or no there is to be a general resurrection, while Mr. Giles will consider the possibility and probability of rehabilitating a desolate ‘sonl, which, we suppose, is another way of putting the Universalist doctrine of “all saved” for convenient handling. The great white throne will loom up before young Dr. Tyng’s vision, and the rich man and Laza- rus will take their accustomed places in Mr. Sweetser’s cabinet of characters to-day. True godliness is something that Dr. Ewer is familiar enough with to dilate upon, and Mr. Moment, being ® young man, probably knows how ‘‘a man seeking a wife” must feel, especially if ufter walking four miles through the mud he finds another suitor already ahead of him. Mr. Colcord’s | eall to duty ought to be heeded, and the eternal youth of Jesus will undoubtedly prove an inspiring theme for Dr. Armitage to-day. Slander is » bad clement for any man (or woman) to cherish, and Mr. Martyn will very properly condemn it. It is one of the sins of good men that Mr. Bell ought to enumerate, and while he is trying to dis- pose of the devil ho might as well let his works go with him. Mr. Newton will present a natural view of the life to come, and Mr. McCarthy will treat Christ's resur- rection as a matter of fact and not of faith, and will also offer somo suggestions about the hereafter of suicides and murderers. oe f Mr. Lloyd will present the main features of Jacob's midnight struggle with the angel so familiar to Bible readers, The rich fool, who would lay up all his treasures here and make no provision for the future life, will occupy Mr. Kennard’s attention, while the disanion and union of the Christian Church will be discussed by Mr. Howell. Messrs. Bungay and Polloek will talk on temperance. Our London and Paris Cable Letters. The two capitals this week regard the principal topics of interest and discussion from very different standpoints. London is dismally pessimist over the chances of peace in the East, while Paris is good humoredly optimist about the protocol. The English look complacently at Bis- marck’s retirement in high dudgeon, being glad enough to have him out of power, but the French see in it as many woes to France as Achilles’ fit of the sulks | brought upon the Greeks. .They proba- bly like to know where the wily man of “Blood and Iron” is. If they were sure he was under the Foreign Office thimble they would be moderately satisfied, but when he becomes an unknown quantity up the sleeve of Fate they are troubled indeed. From the great to the little we slide, Bis- ~marck gives place to O’Leary and his great 520-mile walk. The vicissitudes of the plucky Weston will stand for more impor- tance with the thousands who put pedestrians above premiers than the tribulations of all the Kaisers and Von Stosches in Christen- dom. The difference between the two walkers is not so great after all, when we consider how far above the powers of ordinary mortals is the performance of either. ‘Cing Mars,” we learn from Paris, is not all that was expected of it. It is said. to be fall of reminiscences of his former works. Little Patti again appears occupying tho attention of kings and such like. The Vienna story that the Czar sent an Envoy Extraordinary to the angry prima donna, asking her to join the Greek Church and become a Rus- sian subject, so as to obtain an easy divorce, seems to us to put an unpleasant face upon what was doubtless a solicitude about the diva’s spiritual welfare. We have had enough of such stories. It is of a piece with the unfounded statement that the Rus- sian fleet was sent here to attend the opéra bouffe. We have no doubt that when the Muscovite State papers of the period are given to the world it will be found that the Admiral’s instructions in the matter solely referred to proselytizing ‘‘La Perichole.” The young artists of London and Paris are on the anxious seat, not by any means an easel. The hanging committees of the Academy and the Salon are destroying the hopes of some and filling the hearts of others with joy. We have theatrical, musical and literary gossip in abundance, so that all our readers can find something to amuse them. Story. Some time ago it might readily have been judged difficult if not impossible to have extracted any grain from that well threshed straw, the history of Tweed. From first to last that history has now extended through many years, and has been so written and re- written that the public might be deemed excusable if it called for a rest on that topic. But in the story we gave the other day the subject was presented with a freshness and piquancy that gave it the interest of novel- ty. That story, as our readers know, was reprinted by us from Harper's Weekly, and it was certainly a feather in the cap of the conductors of that journal; for if there isa success that the cultured journalist pecu- liarly appreciates it is one that he gains while it is equally within the reach of all others, and for which he is indebted mainly to his acute perceptions and his skill. Several criticisms are made from different quarters that are intended to impeach the accuracy of that story. They are, in great degree, contradictions of points of detail, as the error in regard to the houso from which the escape was made and in re- gard io the hour. It is quite likely that the story may be inaccurate in many such par- ticulars and yet be substantially true. There is no doubt that the Messrs. Harpers are sat- isfied that it is true, and if it be alleged that ‘Tweed has deceived them in order to secure the publication of a romantic story that would help his case, it must be remem- bered that his case is not in the hands of the public, but in the hands of men who are not to be affected in that way.

Devastation by a Predicted Storm—Aquatic, Literary and Industrial Notes, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD,] Lonpon, April 7, 1877. The protocol and Bismarck’s resignation are the leading topics in Engiand this week. The English papers have not the courage to congratulate them- selves on the anticipated eficacy of that wonderful document, the protocol. The Spectator says, “The mouse is born, and a very little one it is.” The docu- ment, however, will be the great factor of coming events. RUSSIA'S VICTORY. The Times says, editorially, to-day: -- “Qur government has not passed the bounds of constitutional right in its expression of opinion or its engagements in regard to Turkey, but Russia receives all she asked for, and probably more than she expected, This is also the feeling at Vienna. Our correspondent, reporting the fecling there, says:—‘Mild as (he language of the Protocol is, it contains a full and unequivocal acceptance by all the Powers of the Russian view concerning the international position of Turkey. Al though the protocol docs not even mention the treaty of Paris the principles of the independ- ence of Turkey and non-intervention in her internal afairs are virtually abrogated.’ The Times continues:—'‘Lord Derby's deciaration defers deliberation on common action of the Pow- ers. but does not affect the principles contained in the text of the protocol. We have a right to say the Powers—and particularly England—have not been wanting in good will toward Russia. WILL THE CZAR BE CONTENT? “We hope that the Russian government will show it knows how to regard the spirit in which it has been met. It May seem useless to appeal to & military power reiative to a decision which, in all probability, it has already taken; but 1f any uncertainty still lin- gers in the Czar’s counsels, he may be influenced by the fact that the protocol 1s recognized as an hon- orable attempt to satisfy Russian susceptibilities and as justifying disarmament, Until the announce- ment is made we have the right to consider it un- certain, and we give our readers the best means of divining the result. AN UNPROMISING OUTLOOK. “The first condition proposed by Russia, namely, peace with Montenegro, is beset by new difticulties. We have nothing as yet to encourage us to belleve that the second condition, that the Porte shonld replace the armies on a peace footing and send an envoy to St. Petersburg to treat of disarm- ament has been accepted. The Turkish Parliament, to whom, it is said, both conditions will be referred, is no doubt subject to the innuence of the govern- ment, but the very delegation of the decision by thay Porte to the popular assembly seems unfavorable to a policy of concession.” A TREATY TORN UP. The Pall Mall Gazette, quoting the Vienna de spatch referred to above, says, by way of com- ment:—“The complete ignoring of the treaty of Paris, whicn is so essentially by the protocol, is almost more explicit than had the protocol com- menced by announcing that the ninth article of the treaty had been cancelled or temporarily sus- pended.’ A THE PROSPECT OF WAR. Thus it will be seen that Russia gains from the Powers @ moral support for military procedure in case Turkey sins again. In St. Petersburg, since the'signature of the protocol, war is considered in- evitable. A correspondent, writing from that city, says:—“If the Russian Bear ever wanted that famous bridge, Lord Derby has picked so many holes in it and given it such a shaky, tumble-down look that the Czar refuses to try it.”” ° DISCOURAGING SIGNS. Acorrespondent, writing from Phillipopolis, the chief city of Bulgaria, says that he expects a recur. rence of the massacres before the end of May.
