e IMPRISONED FOR LIFE Sentence of the Court on Kate Cobb. DEMEANOR OF THE PRISONER. “1 Am Innocent of the Crime With Which | Have Been Charged.” Norwicn, Conn., Jan, 17, 1879, The Court convened again this morning with a large crowd in attendance, many of them women, to hear the sentence of Kate M. Cobb, Soon after Judge Culver took his place on the bench, Mrs, Cobb, ac- companied by her mother and a lady friend, was brought into court and assigned a seat in the middle of the room facing the judges. She exhibited the same calm exterior she had shown throughout the trial, and which is the wonder of all who have seen it. Nev. before in the history of crime in this State has such remarkable endurance been shown by a person accused of crime and on trial for his life. In every respect Mrs, Cobb's demeanor and bearing in court were admirable, and in conversation with the HeraLp correspondent Stute’s Attorney Waller said, just previous to the conviction, “You have said nothing in Kate Cobb's behalf which was not more than deserved.” But such is the wonderful bitterness against the woman in this community that even her manner and espe- cially her self-control are construed into evidence of guilt. No greater outside pressure could have been brought to bear for the conviction of an accused per- son than was brought to bear against her. Even a doubt as to whether the offence had been proved would not be tolerated, and the jury could not fail to be brought under this influence. Indeed, the looseness of the practice in this State is something amazing. Throughout the trial the jurors came and went at their pleasure, and were necessarily brought into contact with every shade of opinion outside of the court room. Living in cheap boarding houses in the village, most of them must have heard the sub- ject discussed even more earnestly outside of court than in it,and been made to feel that Norwich ex” pected every juror to do his duty. Conviction was prime necessity in the Norwich mind, and conviction for the capital crime if possible. It was not the evidence that was depended upon so much as a dog- matic purpose to convict, and one could not help feeling that this purpose impregnated the atmos- phere, whatever may have been his views of the weight of the testimony. KATE'S DEMEANOR IN COURT. The scene in the court room this morning was sin- gularly devoid of dramatic interest. Everybody sat and looked at the bench with closed mouth and al- most bated breath. It was known that the final blow was to fall, but its severity had been measured be- forehand, and the most calm and unmoved, ap- parently, among those who were awaiting it was Kate Cobb herself. It was only the observant, scruti- nizing cye that could detect any change in tho woman, Unmoved, and apparently immovable, it ‘was plain to those who scanned her keenly that she was suffering as only such women can suffer. Her tace no longer wore that bright look of expectation and confidence which had lit up her countenance during the trial. The elasticity of step and move- iment Was gone. Her full figure seemed shrinking into a gaunt and bony caricature of her former self. Kate Cobb, the convicted felon, was only a skeleton of the Katie Cobb who had so earnestly denied the accusations of her paramour and so steadfastly defied the hard fate that was impending over her. Thus she sat in court this morning, waiting for the tinal Diow, with a dull and despairing sadness that was inexpressibly mournful, In this last stage of her trial and sufferings fate continued unkind to her. Even as she sat awaiting sentence the torm of her ac- cuser and accomplice was made use of as a spectre in her imagination, Although a tew words more would dispose of Katie Cobb torever, Wesley Bishop was yet to be heard-—heard in his defence ‘after his self accusations of crime, in which he blasted the woman without tr y himself. How hateful the name must have sounded in ber ears as she sat there await- ing her doom. Slowly Mr. Waller rose and inti- mated to the Court that Bishop's trial could not take place until March, aud that then he would probably tried for the murder of his wife, and not on the joint indictment under which the woman had m convicted, Unmoved she heard the slow and tortuous language in which judges clothe and con- ceal their thoughts, aud when Judge Culver turned to her and addressed her she was still calm and un- moved as before. Not a sigh escaped her, not even a uerve was seen to twitch as the Court began to pro- nounce the sentence of the law, although she could not fail to know that every eye was upon her and that every heart about her was beating tumultuously— some in sympathy and some in hate. THE SENTENCE. In measured and parental tones Judge Culver be- gan. le spoke of his duty in this case as one of the most paintul he had ever been called upon to dis- charge. He then recited to her the story of her in- dictment and its result, and told her that the law al- lowed him no discretion in the matter. ‘It is sad to me," he said, “to see a woman ot your age, fairly educated, with unusual mental cndowments, @ mother, a daughter, in your position.” ‘hen the Court spoke of the testimony in the case, and said it was completely in the hands of the jury. “They have found against you,” he said, “and a person of your intelligence must know that the evidence was very strong.” Judge Culver also re- ferred to her prospective prison life, advising her that if she obeyed the rules she would be treated Kindly, and telling her that she would have books to read and religious instruction suited to her condi- tion. Advising her tor the future to put her trust 4u a higher Power than any earthly tribunal he then sentenced her to the State Prison for the period of her natural life. Kising, she then walked feebly out of the court room, picking her steps through the throng on her way to the living tomb from which Bhe is no more to emerge alive. The shadow of her great sorrow had settled down upon her at last, never to be litted again, and the only silver lining to the cloud which bung over her was her own heroic endurance of an ordeal the most terrible which a ‘woman can undergo. SEEKING AN INTERVIEW. When all was over I sought an interyiew with the murderese—for such she must uow be called, since & jary of her countrymen has passed upon and con- cemned her—and my request was readily acceded to and two o'clock named as the hour. It was my pur- Pore to ask her some very direct questions and to so- icit answers from her own pot of view. I was anxious to learn, for instance, what it was that sns- tained her throughout the trial and enabled her to undergo the fearful ordeal with such re markable fortitude; whether she was aware that the heroism she had shown was urged against her a8 one of the clearest evidences of her guilt, and At she did not think that it had some influence with the jury in securing her conviction; how she felt in regard to the treatment she had received at the hands Of friends and enemies; what she thought of the ex- treme bitterness of the community; whether her usband’s popularity was in any way the cause of she hatred her alleged crimes had inspired, and if, in her judgment, the jury bad been swayed by this hostile pablic sentiment; what she thought of the jury and the joose manner in which the jurors “were allowed to scatter themselves over the village; what motive Bishop had in inventing the peculiar leve story which be related in his confessions and his testimony—was it a partial truth paved on an unconquerable passion or simple and direct lying; what were her teelings on the eve of being finally and forever cut off from her home, divorcea from all her social and tic ties 1 separated from her childry and wi ere her hopes for the future, All this I had arranged in own mind as a series of topics to which I would di- upon which Ik ody officials oised had agreed to man an interview and stray journalist in the vicinity to participate, nyention in the jail, aud the poor the rack, wis to be gibbeted over u down with grief and ting # fate which she had never ud suffering an agony to which Cobb not yielded’ anul now, she felt she could yo thix new ordeal, and expressed a ho; that the Hrnatp woald not press the request tn view of the new complications. It was under these tircuinstances that she prepared the following card to the public, and tt came to me in the straight ap and f wh handwriting, with whieh the trial had tamiliar- wed me, A CARD PROM MRS.

THE GALLOWS. 8AM COOK EXPIATES THE MURDER OF PRIMUS CALDWELL-—SINGING UNDER THE HALTER-— THE CULPRIT GOING STRAIGHT TO GLORY, (BY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.] GREENVILLE, Ala., Jan, 17, 1879, Sam Cook, convicted of the murder of Primus Caldwell, was executed to-day in the presence of several thousand people. A funeral sermon was preached by Stewart Adams, a colored Baptist preacher. At four minutes past twelve M. the pris- oner ascended the gallows, and addressed the crowd to the effect that he hoped that this would be a warn- ing to all present not to act as he did; that he knew he violated the law and wronged justice, but that he had by repentance gained the pardon of God and that he was going home to glory; that he had no doubt as to his forgiveness, He ad- vised his hearers not to act rashly as he had done. He said that Caldwell had started toward him with an axe, but he could have avoided the dificulty, and should have done so. “Friends, if any one should come toward you with a deadly weapon you must run away from him. I had done so I would not be here to-day. My heart is too full for utterance, but Iam not afraid to die.” He then gave out the hymn commencing— Why shouid wo start, and fear to diet which was sung by the crowd of negroes, the crim- inal joining in the singing. He appeared calm throughout, and when the Deputy Sheriff black cap over his face he, in a clear and voice, bid the audience farewell. utes past twelve the rope was cut and soul went to God who made him. COOK'S CRIME, ‘The crime for which Cook was executed was one of the most atrocious and brutal ever recorded: The victim of the murder, Primus Caldwell, was an in- offensive and hard working colored man, with whose wite Cook was ed to be on terms of criminal in- timacy. Caldwell lived about five miles north of this city, and his humble residence was frequently visited by the paramour of bis wite in his absence. Remote as was the scene of these illicit mectings between Cook and Coldwell’s wife from any town or village the busy tongue of the gossip spread the scandal, and finally it reached the ears of tie injured and dishonored husband. As was natural Cook, when his suspicions were aroused, watched the puir, and to his great mortification became convinced of his wife’s unfaithfulness and the villany of his pretended friend. He then warned Cook of his knowledge and ordered him to discontinue his visits to his house, and for a considerable period he was not seen in the vicinity. AN UNPROVOKED AND CRUEL MURDER. Thus matters continued until the full of 1376, when Cook, inflamed by jealousy and hatred of the husband of the object of his passion, sought Caldwell and involved him in o quarrel. ‘The latter did all in his power to avoid a personal difficulty, but Cook, intent on “revenge,” as he called it, for being accused of criminality with Caldwell’s wife, shot him through the body with a gun with which he was armed, The murderer, not content with shooting and instantly killing his victim, then jumped upon the dead body, and, seiz- ing an axe which lay on the ground near by, struck him three terrific blows on the head, cleaving it in twain and disfiguring it ina most horrible manner. While his hands were yet red with the murdered man’s blood Cook fled, and was not arrested until two years from the date of his crime. He was tried and convicted at the second term of the Court after his capture, and was sentenced to pay the terrible penal of murder with his life on a ielon’s scaffold to-day. A MURDERER REPKIEVED. EXECUTION OF JOHN EDWARDS DELAYED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.) SMrrHrFIExp, N. C., Jan. 17, 1879. ‘The execution of John Edwards for the murder ot Kader J. Ballard last October was fixed for to-day. Crowds of people poured into Smithfield to witness it. The newly erected gallows, which stood just out- sido the jail, was the centre of attraction. The mur- derer was in his cell, confined with two other criminals, one convicted of poisoning a man, the other of a felonious assault. John Edwards is a man who bears the mark of Cain as plainly as if it had been branded upon him. Sullen, vindictive, hideous, one seldom sees a face so repulsive. n INNOCENT, AND NOT READY TO DIE. When visited this morning by the Henatp re- porter he said;—“I’m married, got a wife and six children; have been jailed before this for attacking a patrol. I drink a sight; that’s why I’m here now. I can drink a quart of whiskey in no time. A preacher come to see me last night and put up a right good prayer.”” When the minister asked him if he should pray for him he said:—‘tYou can do as you please about that; I don’t care. Yes, I'm going to speak to the so if they want to hear me. I didn’t shoot 'm gwine to speak it out that Ididn’t kill him, for I didn’t. WANTING WHISKEY. “Yes, want you to get the Sheriff to brin; drink when I’m on the gallows; that’s all I want. When I’m hung I don’t know where I'll go. I reckon I’m not prepared for the other world. The people all want to hang me, so I reckon they had better do it.” The hour approached for the execution. The prisoner was utterly unconcerned. The excited multitude outside surged around the little fence which enclosed the gallows. ‘A REPRIEVE. Twelve o'clock arrived, and with it the mafl from ‘igh. A man rushed out of the Post Office shout- ing, “Reprieve! Reprieve!” Sheriff Powell had an official envelope handed to him, and when he opened it sure enough there was a reprieve, delaying the execution until February 14. AN ANGRY POPULACE. Cries of ‘He should be hung!” “He ought to hang!” “Hang him!” sounded on every side. The crowd was disappointed; they dispersed slowly and sullenly. They were astonished. If the law does not take its course it looks as if Judge Lynch will appear and claim the murderer. The reprieve was pak through the earnest endeavors of Mr. D. ugh McLean, of counsel for the prisoner. ACQUITTED OF MURDER. [By TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Nonrotx, Va., Jan. 17, 1879. The trial of Samuel A. Sherrar for killing William B. Walker at Pangsteague, Accomac county, sixteen years ago, just after the war broke out, was con- cluded at Eastville yesterday, and resulted in the ac- quittal of the prieoner. The plea of self-defence was ably sustained by the defence, and upon that a ver- diot was rendered by the jury. Sherrar and Walker were close and intimate friends and were both men of wealth and held in high esteem by their friends on the Eastern Shore. The trial exci! great interest, and the widow and children of the murdered man in behalf of the prisoner and urged his ac- quittal. Sherrar is a wreck in mind and health. After wandering over the country for sixteen years he was arrested for the crime near this city last fall. OFFICER FURNISS’ MURDERER. The commissioners appointed by Judge Gilder- sleeve to inquire into the sanity of W. Palmer, Jr., who shot and killed Officer Furniss, of the Four- teenth precinct, yesterday organized in the District Attorney's office and adjourned to meet on Friday next. PROTECTION OF WORKING WOMEN. Rosy O'Toole appeared as a complainant yester-- day before Judge MeGown, in the Harlem Civil Court. Miss O'Toole some time since hired out by the month to Mathias Ulshoefer, proprietor of an up- town laundry. In December, after performing her duties for about three weeks, Rosy fell sick and was ‘unabie to work the rest of the month. Her employer declined to compensate her for the month of Decem- ber, on the ground that Rosy had not fulfilled her agreement. He also alleged that Bosy's indisposition arose from excessive indulgence in her liquid name- sake. This charge was not proved in court. Mr, Ulshoefer, however, ex) @ willingness to waive his legal rights an re, Miss Rosy tor the service uctually performed, @ plainti® insisted upon the tull month's pay, and her lawyer cailed the attention of the Judge to the fact that.a law bad re- cently been passed for the protection of working wo- men which covered the question at issue. Judge Me- Gown said he would examine the law and render a decision in a few days. BEREFT OF WIFE AND CHILD. Joseph Willy sued Patrick Mullady, in the Brook- lyn City Court, before Judge Neilson, yesterday, for $10,000 damages for the loss of his wife and child, On the 6th of November, 1877, @ fire was occasioned at plaintiff's residence by the upsetting of # caldron of lard in the basement. Plaintiff was absent ot the time, When the flames were extin« guished Mrs. Willy and her daughter were found in the haliway suffocated, The plaintiff! brought a suit for damages against Mullady, the owner of the building, clatuing that no fire escapes or ladders by which a speedy exit could be made from the house were provided.

ANOTHER MEMBER OF THE WARREN COUNTY (N. J.) RING CRUSHED BENEATH ITS WHEELS— EX-COLLECTOR TEEL DECLARED GUILTY OF YORGERY—THE EX-STEWARD OF THE POOR” HOUSE ACQUITTED. Bevivens, N. J., Jan, 17, 1879. ‘The case of Samuel Frome, ex-steward of the War- ren County Poorhouse, was continued this morning, and, to the surprise of every one, the prosecution gave up the case, The Court had been convened for some little time, and the constables, with their ten foot poles, were vainly endeavoring to preserve order, when Colonel Robeson, of counsel for Frome, rose and proceeded to call a wit- ness for the defence. Before he could do so the Attorney General addressed the Court and said that the prosecution did not desire to press a convic- tion against the defendant. All proceedings were consequently stopped, Lhe Court charged strongly tor the prisoner, and the jury, without leaving the box, and amid some little applause, rendered a ver- dict of not guilty. Mr. Frome was then discharged from custody. EX-COLLECTOR TEEL TO THE BAR. There was some curiosity evinced as to what case Prosecutor Harris would next move, and when it be- came known that it would be that of Edmund Teel, ex-collector, on an indictment charging him with forgery and uttering, all the interest of yester- day was revived, and in a few moments the court room and balconies were crowded again to suffocation. Edmund Teel was County Collector in 1874, 1875 and 1876. In the latter year, says the in- dictment, John Fine, of Greenwich township, re- paired a bridge in that township, the bill tor which was $3. He presented the bill to the member of the Board of Freeholders having the matter in charge, one Jacob J, Stone. Mr, Stone certified it as correct, and, after carrying it around in his pocket for three weeks ora month, Mr. Fine, while in Phillipsburg one day, presented the voucher, to Mr. ‘Teel and was wid the $8, The bill was subsequently altered to $33. ‘The alterations, it was alleged, were in the handwrit- ing of Mr. Teel. ‘Tho figures as carried out on the bill were $33, one of the etd Depp enently put there after the original bil! mu out. On the back of the voucher was the indorsement “John Fine, bridge order $33,” in the handwriting, it was averred, of the ex-collector. Freeholder Jacob J. Stone testified to the facts as related in the indictment. Joln Fine swore that he had presented the bill for $3 and had received only that amount. The counsel for the defendant tried to break down the evidence of Mr. Stone, even going so far as to endeavor to com- 7 ae to acknowledge that he himself had altered e bill. Mr. Ludwig, teller of the Phillipsburg National Bank, identified the handwriting on the back of the rennet that of Mr. ‘Teel, as did also Mr. Bears, an expert. John V. Mattison, ex-Clerk of the Board, and John W. Dean, who have turned State’s evidence, testified to the passing of the voucher by the Finance Com- mittee after it had been raised. ‘ THE DEFENCE. David Mexell, attorney at law, of Phillipsburg, and stepson of Mr. Teel, testified for the defence that the figure ‘3’ on the face of the order was not the writ- ing of Mr. Teel, Samuel Teel, brother of the defendant, swore to the same thing, and then the defence, to prove good character, put on the stand Mr. Benjamin T, Harris, for twenty-three years a resident of Phil- lipsburg. Before his testimony could be taken, however, the prosecuting attorney on the part of the State admitted previous good character. Edmund Teel, the defendant, then went on, the stand, and ad- mitted the “backing” of the order to be his writing, but not the additional figure “3” on the face of the order, He further swore that he had paid Fine $33. Judge Shipman summed up for the defendant and Attorney General Stockton for the State. The Chief Justice charged briefly, and at four o'clock the jury retired, At seven o'clock they returned with a ver- dict of guilty. YET ANOTHER. AND ‘7! While the jury were out deliberating the case of ex-Freeholder Jacob J. Stone, who is indicted with Jesse F. Carhart for conspiracy, was called, The in- dictment states that in May, 1877, Jacob J. Stone cor- tified u bill for $45 95 in favor of Smith Clark, of New Milford, for a coping stone for a small bridge. Stone turned over the bill to Jesse Carhart, who paid itto a builder of Phillipsburg as part payment of a private debt. Carhart was a Frecholder at the time. The stone was never putin the bridge, consequently never furnished by Clark. Smith Clark swore positively that he had nover fur- nished the stone, never rendered a bill and never signed the check purporting to have been signed by him; he never swore to the bill as it appeared on its face Isaac Laubeck, frecholder, testified that Stone told him that he often sent bills by mail; he admitted the signature. George H. Harmes testified that he had received the check from Jesse F. Carhart. Ex-Collector Cum- mins testified that he had id the note. Jacob J. Lae et in his own , making @ gencral lenial. When the Court adjourned at six o’clock this case was still on. On Monday the largest case yet presented will be tried. It is known as the “Poorhouse Conspiracy,” and comprises, as alleged, a single steal of $10,000, NEWARK COMMON COUNCIL. The first regular meeting of the new Common Council of Newark, N.J., was held last evening. The galleries and vestibule were crowded with citizens, it being known that the ordinance reducing the pay of city officers and the Police and Fire departments would come up on asecond reading and be sure to excite a lively discussion. It did come up, and was vigorously opposed by the democrats minority and wi equal vigor defended by the ae TE majority. Aldermen Fiedler, Don- nelly, Littell, Irving and Hawkins did their best, by argument and amendment, to break the republican line, but without success, the republicans being whipped to the support of the ordinance in its one nal shape by Aldermen Clarke, Wilson and Holz- worth. It was finally passed to a third reading by a strict party vote—2 to 9 President Young then announced the standing com- mittees for the year. HAPPY BOYS. ‘THOUSANDS OF NEWSBOYS AND BOOTBLACKS EN- JOY A DAY'S AMUSEMENT--STREET ARABS CRITICISING A THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE. * The newsboys and bootblacks of this city had their second annual “free benefit’ yesterday at the mu- seum of Professor C. W. McGlennen on the Bowery. It was in reality a great day for the industrious and hardy youths, and as a proof that the gen- erous invitation of Mr. McGlennen was heartily responded to it is only necessary to state that the number of admissions did not fall short of nine thousand. The entertainment com- menced at ten o’clock in the forenoon and con- tinued till five in the afternoon, the upper and lower halls being provided with variety troupes at the same times Both halls were literally packed at cach performance, which lasted about an hour, at the close of which the boys would be marched out to the street and another crowd taken in. The num- ber of admixsions may seem to be exaggerated, but it is probable that there was s large num- ber of “repeaters” who paid their respects several times to the fessor during the day. Red silk badges with gil Cyary morg were provided for the occasion, and 8,500 of these had been distributed by three o'clock to the boys. Ten or twelve ushers were kept busy in preserving order among the juve- nile audiences, especially on entering and leaving. ‘The lads were nearly wild over the pantomime, and the funny dialogues in the alternate performance created quite THE STREET BOYS’ WIT, Every time Shepherd, the clown, made his appearance the glee of the juveniles knew no bounds. They whistled, mewed, crowed and kept up 8 continuous volley of the slang so familiar to those who are schooled in our streets and byways. In the transformation scenes a skelcton with out- stretched arms A ge to the terror of the per- formers, ‘Don't seared, it's A. T. Stewart, squeaked out one of the youths, promptly responded another, “or will find out.” ‘he laughter lowed extended even to the stage, and the skeleton quickly vanished. One of the performers had his right eye burnt-corked, and presented a dilapidated nce. He was advised to ‘take a snifter,” but ia was quickly vetoed by a lad who said he had When the clown was by a stuffed ciub half a dozen voices cried out for an ambulance. It is but just to state, however, that out of the largo number admitted it was not found necessary to expel one for any breach of propriety. After cach perform- ance the boys were allowed to indulge their curiosity in visiting the building. The performances were va- ried and well adapted to the amusement and instruc- tion of youth. The transformation scenes in par- ticular _ presented a problem to the idea.” In this humane work great ci it due to Professor Hutchings and the other gentlemen who kindly volunteered their asristan: casion to Mr. McGlennen. “I ask no thanks for this,” said the latter, was once a newsboy my- self." Altogether thie was the largest gathering of those hardy little toilers that has ever been witnessed in any place of amusement in this city, ELECTRIC LIGHT IN THE POST OFEICE. Mr. Upton, chiof clerk of the Treasury Department, afew days ago paid an official visit to the New York Post Office, when Postmaster James told him of the im- mense amount of gus consumed on the main floor and suggested that the electric light be used instead of gas. Yesterday the Postmaster received authority from the Treasury Department to invite trials by the various électric light companies and report the re- sult of the experiment to the departinen CHRYSOSTOM. DR, JOHN LORD'S LECTURE ON THE PULPIT. “Chrysostom” was the text of Dr. John Lord’s lec- ture on the Christian pulpit, delivered before a large audience in Chickering Hall yesterday morn- ing. Chrysostom, said the lecturer, was 8 monk without losing his humanity, a philosopher without forgetting the Bible. In the desert he lay the founda tion of his future greatness, and there did he torm a taste for exile. But who can long thrive on root dinners and wsihetics in a cave? After six years he returned to life in the world, Chrysostom began active life at thirty-four, preaching to the people twice a week—Saturday and Sunday mornings--at break of day, Crowds flocked to hear him. His very voice would melt his hearers to tears, Never since the palmy days of Greece has her language been wielded by such @ ‘master, He was majestic, sublime, graceful, and in simplicity was a worthy successor of Him who preached on the day of Ponticost. Everything combined to make Chrysostom the pride and glory of the infant Church, and perhaps the most remarka- ble preacher who ever swayed an audience. He has left to rity over one thousand sermons. We tind in the sermons of Chrysostom no commonplace and weak platitudes, such as are nowadays dealt out to overdressed people of society trom fashionable pulpits. He preached on the old fashioned doctrine of degeneracy, on the certainty of retribution and the intiuences of the spirit, He dealt not with tricks of rhetoric, His friends were found among all classes, high, low, rich and poor, and made himself a great moral force. He utterly despised riches except as 4 means of usefulness, He was man Cs eee with grict and always accessible to those who needed consolu- tion. Few incidents in history are more impressive than the manner in which he quelled the rebellion at Antioch. The people closed their places of busi- ness aud spent hag in prayer with Chrysostom, and ‘Antioch was saved. It was a sublime spectacle to see this simple priest surrounded by the entire populace looking to him as their deliverer, He scorned sen- sations and vulgar cant and confined himself to sacred truths. There is no greater moral power in this world, Worldly men talk of the power of the press; Igrant that it is great, but its opinions are contradictory. The press is an echo, not a creator. Idon’'t believe in those men who preach on nature and wsthetic subjects. ‘Antioch was not great enough to hold Chrysostom and he was summoned to Constantinople, where he was inade the highest prelate of the East, being forced to uccept what he did not seek. Scarcely was he con- secrated when he launched out in his invective against the very court that sustained him, No one could like a man who had no favors to ask and who could live on a crust of bread, Chrysostom lived within his palace and dined alone. Rich dinners did not agree with his weak digestion. His power was in the pulpit, not at the dinner tablo. Christ dined with publicans and sinners; man must unbend some- where, but Chrysostom thought not. He might have retained his favor with the court had he been less austere. The poor thought him as humble as the rich thought him proud. It was not long before he was assailed. 1! first to turn afainst him was the Lord High Chancellor. Even the sac cathedral did not protect him, and he was dragged from before the altar. Jealousy was the cause, heresy the pretext. The Empress. sided against him and used her influence with the weak Emperor to have him removed. He was accused of high treason and of having slandcred the clergy. He was con- demned and sent into exile, but the people would not let him go. A seasonable carthquake worked upon their superstitious fears, and he was restored and be- came more powerful but not more popular than ever. A silver statue of the Empress was erected in the square near the Cathedral. He ordered it removed because the crowds who came to sce it interfered with his services. This deflance closed his career in Constantinople. He was again exiled, but his writ- ings reaching the people he was exiled to a more dis- tant part of the country. He died in the sixty-fourth your of his age a martyr, and oue ot the great lights of the world was extinguished, ANNA DICKINSON’S LECTURE. WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE MORAL IN- FLUENCE OF ‘THE PLATFORM AND STAGE.” The utterances of such a woman as Anna E. Dick- inson on such a subject as “Platform and Stage” could hardly fail to be noteworthy, and her recent experience in leaving the one and essaying the other has provoked discussion enough to almost insure a crowded house when her comments should take tho form of a lecture. Chickering Hall was accordingly well filled last evening by an audicnce which was in more than the usual proportion composed of ladies. There were many gentlemen but they were in the minority. At eight o'clock Miss Dickinson, very plainly dressed, walked upon the platform alone, and was greeted with a murmur of applause which broke into decided clappings at various places in the lecture. As my Quaker ancestors would say, she began, there will be more liberty between my house and me if thero is no misunderstanding. Much has been said about my return to the platform, as though I had abandoned it. I never did. I said in Boston two years ago that I had stopped talking, because I did not believe in making bricks without straw. I had nothing to say. If you can help speechmaking or marrying—don’t.

While it is conceded that no other amusement or dissipation, or whatever it may be called, has such a grip on mankind as the theatre there is no subject on which there is so little calm, dispaswionste talk. De- nounced and hrm gina by accessories as it has been, it yet lives and splendidly lives. It is the most po- tial influence of education. Who goes twice to hear the same speech ? Yet I have been fifteen times to see the “‘Shaughraun.”” If you come to some tremendous ‘upheaval of moral world, such as our own struggle of sixteen years ago, oratory and passionate speaking nay move ‘ind; but even then Idoubt if it is as potent as the scene you may ‘k's to-night, when in “Ours” the regi- ‘The platform, the press, the pul- ing of religion—are all tess influ- ential than the stage. Compare the people who go to church with those who go to the theatre. The former are the select few. There is uo place for the poor in thechurch edifices, The dullest preacher that ever talked can yuther a congregation in a theatre of aSundsy night. Why? Because the people like the associations of the place. They have had yood times there, and they'll go again. There is a common bond of humanity in the theatre. The people are held by a common thought. A million books, ten million speeches against capital punishment would not do one tithe as much as would have been accomplished if we could all have seen thut caricature of justice enacted in Camden jail the other day. ‘The lecturer then argued that the theatre instead of oh ad improved in modern times, and that its effect dee; and strouger than of old. Peopie now, she claimed, learned more of ek and humanity through the theatre than throug! ing. Human nature, too, was to be learned from great acting as from no other source. Noone can sit in front and listen to the preacher who tells him human lite must grow, not by expansion, but by renunciation, without dwindling. And no one ever sits in front and sees the great action of human nature on the stage without doing what God sent him into the world to do—be learus. A GOOD INFLUENCE. ‘The stage was also the great moral teacher of tho day. The lecturer instanced many of the best known plays of the day, and claimed that their influence ‘was all for good, She then touched on the accusa- tion of vice and immorality brought against the pic- tures presented in many plays, and claimed t these pictures were tra’ pictures of life. The world was wilfully blinding itself to the truth in the great question of the mof the sexes aud the pit—l am not stage was presen! the truth, As for drink- ing, she thought was no more going out of the theatre to drink than there is going out of business places to drink. The rum shops outside and not the stage should be blamed, As to immodest dressing the lecturer claimed that she had seen more of it in the boxes at the Academy than on the stage, and the audience agreed with her with applat Ifthe stage should be abolished for ite blemish he press, literati and all art should be wiped out on a similar principic. It 1s understood that Dickinson has been re- quested to repeat this lecture on some Sunday evening, 80 that the members of the dramatic pro- fession may listen to her, and she will probably com- ply with the request, FOR SAVING LIFE, ‘The members of the different exchanges who wero Sppointed to take chorge of the funds for the Lito Saving Association, of which “Nan the Nowsboy” is the head, have appointed the following cominittee to draft a set of bylaws and to put the thing in shape so that an organization may be effected to take chargo of donations received and all future ones:—Mr. James F.

Soon after the opening of the proceedings Judge Hiiton entered the meeting room, and was requested to take a scat on the platform, near the president. He made a few observations, in the course of which he said:—‘I merefy called in to see what was going on, particularly to see if any one was missing since your visiting last night. You little know how deeply the people are interested in this movement. We realize that an organization like those of the systems of Europe has become necessary, and yet the individu- ality of cach of our States must be preserved, but in some cases it may and will be found that State rights must yield.” Upon a call from the house the chairmen of delega- tions present reported the number of uniformed troops in their respective States as follows:—New York, 19,303; Pennsylvania, 10,000; Ohio, 8,600; Ill- inois, 8,000; Iowa, 5,500; Massachusetts, 4,400; South Carolina, 4,000; New Jersey, 3,300; North Carolina. 2,750; Connecticut, 2,500; Missouri, 2,300; Louisiana, 2,400; Michigan, 2,000; Rhode Island, 2,000; Cali- fornia, 2,000; Virginia, 1,200; Vermont, 750.

The young woman who was found on pier 26 North River on Thursday evening dressed in male attire, and who was taken into custody by an officer of the Twenty-seventh precinct, was arraigned yéester- day before Judge Otterbourg at the Tombs Police Court. In appearance she is tall and slim, with small, sharp features and black hair cut short and combed back from the forehead. A loose fitting gown supplied the place of the male habiliments in which she was discovered, and she tugged at it nervously and drew it close to her form, as if not at all pleased with the forced exchange. Instead of being but fifteen years of age, as she at first claimed, she admitted to the Judge that sho was eighteen, and she looked it fully. Her statements were at times contradictory, and at one moment sho would decline to give any information about herself, while in the next she would become very communi- cative, HER STORY. Her story was to the effect that her name is Madgo Rivers, born in Boston in 1860. Her parents died when she was three years of age, and she was’taken care of thereafter by a family named Worthey. They were kind to her and sent her to school. An apt scholar, she advanced rapidly, and three years ago graduated from the Boston High School, Then her troubles began. The Worthey family with whom she still remained moved to Everett, Mass., and became reduced in circum- stances. Feeling that she was a burden to them she determined to earn her own living at least, and if pos- sible extend aid to her benefactors. With that object in view she made # confidant of her half sister, May, and between them they concocted the plan she had endeavored to carry out. It was to go to the great city of New York and there obtain work. Believin; she could disguise her sex beyond detection and that her chances of obtaining employment in male attire would be botter, she donned the suit which she and her half sigter together manufactured. IN NEW YORK. br Sor gd on her arm s small satchel, containing a comb and brush and a few articles of underwear, she took the train tor New York, via Fall River, and arrived here on Thursday evening. Ou the boat she was accosted by a young man, whom she described as fair haired and good looking, who forced his com- pany upon her and insisted that she was a girl. Sho resented au insult he offered her, and reached this city without further annoyance. Being without means of obtaining a lodging sho accosted an officer, who, suspecting her sex, took her to the Twenty-seventh precinct station house, where she was locked up in acell. During the port lg Beech came to where she ‘was sleeping made proper proposals to her. She ordered him to leave, aud an hour or 80 later he returned and told her that he only intended to find out whether she was, as she represented herself to be, a respectable person, and that measures would be taken to provide for her. 18 SHE OF UNSOUND MIND? Miss Rivers at times appeared flighty, and her pale face and strange manner gave the impression that her mind was unsettled on account of sickness. Judge Otterbourg was at a loss what disposition to make of the case, and postponed action to give Miss Rivers time to write to her friends. If her statements ara correct she will be restored to them as soon as possi- ble. Sato a M. ott of A 194 Prince street, a lady who es an interest in women in distress, a F Fes rec wicweneg Tt 2 offered Miss Rivers a home, e Judge, however, notcare to let her go until he had heard from Everett, Mass. a ‘Miss Rivers, at the ee of Me Otterbourg, made # statement in writing of her history and ex- rience since leaving her home, which is substan- a the same as the above, Her writing and com- position would indicate the truth of hor statement ‘that she is a graduate; and when she learned that har experience would probably appear in print, she ex: ergo much annoyance at the surmises “all New ork would be apt to draw from it.” A DENIAL FROM THE OFFICERS, bees sng Welsh, on duty when Miss Rivas was brought to the Twenty-seventh precinct police sta- tion house, said, in contradiction of her story, that no person had been taken down to see her, and that the doorman questioned her in the morning, before she left for the Tombs, as to whether she had slept well, and she answered, “Fairly, considering the nov- elty of my situation.” WHAT'S IN THE WIND? There was considerable excitement yesterday in Political circles on account of the attack made on General Arthur, ex-Collector of the Port, and Mr. A. B. Cornell, ex-Naval Officer, by Secretary Sherman in his communication to the United States Senate, in which he reflected upon the administration of those gentlemen, Theearly mail from Washington brought acopy of the charges to General Arthur and Mr, Cornell, forwarded to them by the Committee on Commerce to be answered at once. A reporter of the Heraxp called upon the ex-Coliector, who stated that the were confidential, and that he had no right to make their contents public, General Arthar ‘at once the ion of his defence, which ho hopes ty have fuis in a very few days, ‘Acall at Mr. Cornell's residence in Forty-second streot elicited city. the response that he was out of tho FIREMAN REILLY'S FUNERAL.
