the greenback candidate, is an inoflensive
,excellent old man of eighty, who made
several millions of dollars by making a supe-
rior article of glue and .isinglass. Naturally
benevolent, and naturally vain, he built
Cooper Institute, a school for instruction in
many things, and a free library, and gave it
to the city. It was a noble benefsction, and
has done a world of good to those for whom
it was designed. He really has a notion that
he will be elected, and doesn’t know that he
is being used by the democracy to divert
votes from Hayes. The old man means well
but his cagididacy is as much of an absurdity
as though it were Daniel Pratt or the im-

is one of the present troubles in New York.
The unprecedented drouth of last summer
dried up many of the sources of supply, and
Oroton lake is lower than it has been for
many years. There are no wells to draw
from, the water about the city is salt, and
the rain that has fallen thus far in the autumn
was all taken up by the ground, and did not
preceptiblyraise the streams. Consequently,
the prossure is not enough to get water above
the firstfioors in many parts of the city, and
a part'ofr the day there isznone at all. For a
city of a million of people to be short of
water is no joke, and the question of a new'
source of . supply is being seriously can-
raised.

LIKE INSURANCE.
The failure of the Continental Life Insur-
ance Company, of this city, and the rumors
that are prevailing as to half a dozen others,
has created an-uneasy feeling in the minds
of policy holders. The fact is, the insurance
business has been run as other kinds—too
extravagantly. Too heavy salaries have
been paid to officers and agents, too costly
buildings have been erected, and there has:
been too much speculation in it generally.l
It was all well enough as long as the people
had plenty, of money and could take out as
many policies as they desired, for a heavy
stream of money flowed in a little faster than
it flowed out. But now the hard times stops-
it has commenced. There are good sound-
life insurance companies, and life insurance
is a good thing, but for a time at least people
will enquire more carefully into the com-
panies into which they put their money. It
is singular that men will place money, in-
tended for the support of their famlies after
they are dead without knowing the character
of those into whose hands it goes. Look up
your policies and see whether you are in
good companies or, not. The Continental
was considered sound a few weeks ago, and
now whether it can resume business or not
is a question. The trouble with many of
the companies, as well as the banks in the
city is, they loaned surplus on real estate,
at the valuation of three years
ago ;_now that it will not sell for a fourth of
those prices, they are in a box. Half of
them found their capital completely wiped
out by this depreciation. A mortgage on
real estate in New York is mighty uncertain
just now. *

the fall trade would foot up something toler-
ably decent. The merchants from the
interior are buying liberally, and collections
are excellent. If the people would only get
over their foolish scare, and go about their
business as usual, the country would be as
prosperous as ever it was. PIETRO.

Hayc’s Great Law Case.
The following account of Haye's first
great law’case, which has been often alluded
to of. late, is taken from Mr. Howells’s “Life
of Governor Hayes,” just published by Hurd
and Honghton : ' .
The Nancy Farrer case was one that in its
time caused intense sensation throughout
Ohio, and its event established in law the
principle which medicine had long recogni-
Eed, that an insane person is not morally
responsible for a criminal act, although en-
tirely sensible of the difference between right
and wrong. This helpless creature, wholly
in the power of the man who instigated her
crimes, poisoned two families ; the really
responsible agent for her act escaped, never
to be found, and she remained, with her help-
less admission of all the facts, the subject
of all the greatest popular excitement, and
the object of horror that prejudged her from
the first,and seemed to make her fate certain.
By a chance which gave her life and her ad-
vocate reputation and standing among the
first of his profession, Hayes was appointed
by the judge of the criminal court to conduct
her defense. He instantly recognized his
opportunity. “It is the criminal case of the
term,” he writes ; “will attract more notice
than any other,and if I am well prepared will
give me a better opportunity to exert and ex-
hibit whatever pith there is in me, than any
cutie I ever appeared in ;" and he goes on
at once to sketch the line of his defense, to
make memoranda of what he sha‘l read and
how he shall bring to bear on the case his
“favorite notions as to the effect of original
constitution and early training in forming
character" and diminishing responsibility.
InNancy Farrer, origin, training and associ-
ations were all of the worst sort. Her fath-
er had died a sot in the hospital, her mother
was insane. With such parentage what must
her life, her mind be ? Once under the sway
of the real murderer, with whom she was in
love and who had promised her marriage,
she had no volition of her own, and she had
poisoned half a score of persons without com-
punction and without any apparent sense of
the crime. In court the popular feeling
against her was heightened by the repulsive
plainness and brutality of her face. 'et her
advocate was firmly convinced that she was
not morally a free agent, and he rested her
defense entirely upon that fact ; every other
fact-of the case he. fully and freely conceded.
Till that time it had been the custom of the
courts to demand of the medical experts
whether they [believed the prisoner under
trial knew right or wrong, and on the ad-
mission of such-a belief jurors were changed
Hayes took
his stand with the humaner science upon the
higher ground. He studied the whole sub:
ject of insanity in its relation to crime, and
among the desultot'y memoranda of his diary
is a passage that seems to have formed the
nucleus of his argument: “Dr. Bell, of the
McLean Asylum, testifies, ‘I consider that
insane persons generally know the difference
between right and wrong. ” His argument
made avivid impression upon the jury and
the public, and gave him name and fame at
once. He seems (we infer again from the
data mentioned) to have told the jury the
pathetic story of Mary Lamb, impelled
against her own will to kill her own father
add mother, and adjurcd tlictn to see the
parity between her case and that of the
wretch before them. “Awful as are tragedies
which she has been the instrument—as I be-
live, the unconscious instrument—of coni-
mitting, their horror sinks into insignificance
when compared with the solemn and deliber-
ate execution, by reasoning, thinking men,
or such abeiug as she. On the subject of
and principles of any science come to be so
well established that they are universally
recognized and adopted by the most intelli-
gent as well as “the most conservative mem-
bers of the profession which deal with that
science, it'is in strict harmony with the ex-
pansive and liberal rules of the common law
that courts should also recognize and adopt
those facts and principles. The calamity of
insanity is one which may touch very nearly
he happiness of the best of our citizens. We
all know that in some of its thousand forms
it has carried grief and agony unspeakable
into many a happy home : and we must all
wish to see such rules in regard to it estab-
lished as would satisfy an intelligent man if,
instead of this friendless girl, his own sister
or his own daughter were on trial. And
surely to establishjsuch rules will be a most
noble achievement of that intelligence and
reason which God has given to you but de-
nied to her whose fate is in your hands." In
spite of the sober eloquence and the logic of
his plea, the girl was found guilty on the
old ground that if she knew right from
wrong she was answerable for her crime.
He applied for a writ of error, and the ques-
tion was reservcd for decision in the Onio
Supreme Court, before which Hayes appear-
ed in her behalf, in December, 1853, more
titan a year after the conviction. It was his
first case in the Supreme Court, and all those
who saw and heard him, testify to the mod-
esty as well as the ability with which he
managed it. In that day it was the custom
for lawyers arguing before that courtto take
their places at a certain table in the center
of the court-room. It is related by one of
the eye-witnesses that Hayes laid down his
papers on a desk in one corner and began to
speak. As he went on, the closeness and
clearness of his argument fixed the attention
of all. Presently one of the judges inter-
rupted him. “Mr. Hayes," he said, “the
court is desirous not to loose a word of what
you are saying. Will you be kind enough to
come forwardto the table in the center of the
room 7" The young advocate finished in
triumph a plea that convinced the judges
while it moved every listener by its profound
pathos. The decision of the court establish-
we point to which all similar defences for
insanity have since referred and must refer ;
the motion for a new trial was granted. But
a new trial did not take place. An inquest
this flow, therewill be a smash, and I think:
of lunacy found Nancy Ftirrer of unsound
mind, and she was sent to an asylum, where
she died a few'ycars after. On the day when
the rcsiultof the inquest was reached, Hayes
recorded the fact with modest satisfaction,
and his usual temperance of statement; and
we cannit better indicate the. effect upon
himself and his interests than by giving his
own straightforward phrase : “She will now
go to alunatic asylum, and so my first case
involving life is ended successfully. It has
been a pet case with me ; has caused me
much anxiety, given me some prominence in
my profession, and indeed was the first case
which brought me practice in the city. It
has turned out fortunately formc—vci'y, and
I am greatly gratified that it is so. I argued
the case in December, '73,. before the Su-
preme Court, at Columbus ; made a success-
ful argument. The judgment of the court
below wasrescrved in an opinion fully sus-
taining my leading positions. The case is re-
ported in 2d Ohio Reps, Farrcr versus
State." "
The return of the English Polar expedition
under Captain Narés and its report dispels
the supposition of an open Polar Sea. Those ,
brave adventurers, who penetrated into the
Artie world further than any of their prede-
cessors, found not only solid ice instead of
open sea between them and the pole, but the
ice so piled and rough as to be impassable to
sledges ; in fact travel over it was impracti-.
cable. This piled ice would seem to indicate
a great change of temperature at the pole in
different seasons and the prevalence of winds;
these combined influences break the thick
ice and tumble it up into small bills. If
these explorers are right, the pole can never
be reached, and even if it:B could be actually
attained, the exploit would only be a matter
of heroism, not of any practical benefit to
mankind.

The undersigned merchants, bankers, and

And in federal taxation more
than . . . . . . . $500,000,000 00
Other great results of this financial policy
have been that, despite an indebtedness of
more than two thousand millions, and while
diminishing taxation, the credit of the coun-
try has been raised to the unprecedented
point, that its four and a half percent. bonds
issued in redemption of the six per cents,
have been selling rapidly, at home and
abroad, above par in gold ; and the govern-
ment has been enabled every year' since
1866, not only to keep within its income,
but to apply an average annual sum of $56,-
732,234 20 toward the payment of its indebt-
edncss.
A careful consideration of these results of
judicious management of the national treas-
ury during republican administration of the
government, induces the undersigned to ex-
press their confident belief that n continua-
tion of the same general policy which has so
well sustained our commercial honor and
aided so powerfully in the preservation of
the Union itself, would be the best promot-
ed by the election of General Rutherford B.
Hayes and William A. Wheeler to the offices
of President and vice-president of the Uni-
ted States.

The popular reception of the names of
Theodore D. Woolscy and Marshall Jewell,
as the leaders of the electoral ticket, is
evidence that the republican convention
rightly understOod the wishes of the people
of the state, that the ticket from beginning to
cud should represent the highest purposes
of the party. Those purposes are reform of
the civil service, lioucstv in official life, the
restoration of asound currency, and the
equal liberty of all citizens north and south.
Wherever Dr. Woolscy‘s name is mentioned,
in America Ot'Eut'opts, it is a synonym of
profound scholarship, and his opinion upon
public affairs carries with it more weight
than that of perhaps any other man in the
cmutry And Governor .lctvt-ll’s business
capacilyzutd inlegrity,nud his attempt to
run one of the departments of the govern-
ment upon business principles, commend
him to those who desire an honest adminis
tration of our public afiairs. It is true that.
the electoral ticket is only a round-about
method of voting for Hayes and Wheeler,
but it isa healthful sign of the times when
care is taken to compose it of only men of
high character. \Ve may add that ex-
President Woolscy is trulyan “independent”
in politics, and his acceptance of this posi-
tion is very significant.——Courant.
Colonel Ingersoll presists in harrowing up
the feelings of the “reformers" with un-
charitablc remarks. In his Chicago speech,
the other night, he said : “The democratic
party to day is a political tramp [laughter],
crawling up to the back door of the White
House, begging for ofiicial food. The dem-
ocratic party has not had a bite to eat for
sixteen long and weary years. [Laughton]
The democratic party is a vast appetite.
[Great laughter]. The democratic party is
all teeth and empty stomach. [Cheers] In
other words, the demoeratic party is a polit- .
ical tramp, with a yellow passport. This
political tramp begs food, and he; carries in
his pocket old, dirty scraps of paper, as a
kind of certificate of character. On one of
these papers he will show you the ordinance
of 1789. On another one of those papers
he will have apart of the Fugitive Slave
law ; on another one some of .theBlack Laws
that used to disgrace Illinois; on another
Gov. Tilden’s letter to Kent. He will also
have in his pocket an old wood-cut,somcwhat
torn, representing Abraham Lincoln falling
upon the neck of S. Corning Judd and
thanking him for saving the Union as Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Sons of Liberty.
[Laughter and applause] This political
tramp will also have a letter, dated Boston,
Massachusetts, saying : ‘I hereby certify
that for fifty years I regarded the bearer as a
thief and robber, but I now look upon him as
a rcformcr.’ Signed, Charles Francis Adams.
[Laughton] Following this tramp will be a
blood-hound, and when he asks for food the
blood-hound will crouch for employment
upon his haunclles; and the drool of antici-
pation will run from ltis loose and hanging
lips. Study the expression of that dog.
Translate it into English, and it means, ‘Oh,
I want to bite a nigger.’ And when the dog
has that expression he bears a striking like-
ness to his master. The question is, Shall
that tramp and that dog gain possession of
the White House 1”

The Farmer King.
The farmer sat in his old arm-chair,
Rosy and fair,
Contented tllcrc.
“Kate, I declare,”
He said to his wife, who was sitting near,
“\Vc need not fear
The hard‘times here,
Though the leaf of life is yellow and sore.
“I’m the King and you are the Queen
Of this fair scene,
These fields of green
And gold between,
Thcsc cattle grazing upon the hill,
Taking their fill,
And sheep so still,
Like many held by a single will.
“These barnyard fowls are our subjects all ;
They heed the call,
And like a squall
On fast wings fall,
Whenever we scatter for them tltc grain.
’Tis not in vain
We live and reign
In this our happy and calm domain.
“And let the days be dim or fine,
In rain and shine,
These lands of mine,
These fields of thine,
In cloudy shade and in sunny glow,
Will overflow '
With crops that grow,
When gold is high and when it is low.
“I'nvcxcd with shifting of stocks and shares,
And bulls and bears, -'
Strifes and cares,
And the affairs
Of speculation in mart and street,
In this retreat
Sweet peace can meet,
With plenty on her rural beat."
—George W. Bungay.
A MILD-Mssxannn Max’s LETTER—Under
date of Moline, 111., June 30, 1876, John L.
Stockdale writes the following to the Eureka
Sentinel: “I wish to make inquiries regard-
inga young men, formerly of your town,
named J. B. Cyphers. He came tothis place
two weeks ago and was not long in becoming
acquainted, was soon made welcome to the
homes of our best families. He visited my
h eoften. Afew days ago I was called
21% to Chicago, and, on my return, I found
Mr. Cyphers had run away with my wife,
and I believe that he has returned to Eureka,
Nevada. I write this more to please her pa-
rents than myself. They are very anxious
to learn something of the man she is with.
So any. information you can furnish them
will be most thankquy received. I will
give you a description of the young man,
and would like to have you publish it, for I
am confident that as soon as he tires of her
he will leave her and run away with some
one else. He is about twentydbree years old,
very good locking, of pleasing address, and
evidently well educated; is about five feet
seven inches high; will weigh about 140
pounds; walks and moves very quick; has
very small, white hands, light brown hair,
blondc mustache, and blue eyes; dresses very
stylish, and is avery fine talker. She, his
companion, is about 21 years old, light blonde
hair, blue eyes, about the medium height, is
very lively and fond of company. She was
born in New York city; has only been here
a few months. We had only been married
j three months, but lived happily together
until the arrival of the gentleman from Ne-
vada. This is about all the description 1 can
give you of them. If they are there, you will
confer a favor upon her parents by writing to
them; if they are not there you will be doing
a favor to society by publishing this fellow.
So far as I am concerned, I don’t care what
becomes of either of them."
The Children of Drunkards.
A missionary of the American Sunday
School Union recently overheard a conversa-
tion between two sisters, eight and ten years
old, whose father was a drunkard, and their
mother wa not much better. They hadheard
the missionary talking in another family. One
said, “ Sue, what do you think that Sunday.
school man meant, talking about the center-
ml?"
“Well, I don’t know,” said Sue; “ ’pesrs
like he meant One hundred years ago, when
all this country, and towns, and trees, and
things was made.”
“ Well, who made them ?”
“ Don’t know that, nutiicr!
may be, pap helped."
This in a country of Bibles, churches, and
Sunday-schools! But, alas! these children of
aidrunkard knew nothing of these things.
The missionary went to the drunkard’s
home 'although friends sought to dissuade
him. He found the father drunk, and the
mother not sober, and they were quarrelling,
while the younger children were almost
naked. The man staggered toward him, and
wanted him to drink from his bottle of whis-
key. He retired then, but soon came again,
and found the father sober. He seemed to
love his children; and when asked if he was
willing they should grow up without educa'
tion and without Christ, lie wept and said,
“I don’t know how to lam ’cm." The only
hope, under God, of reaching such parents is
through the children; audithe grace of God
only can make any effort for them successful.
The missionary hopes to plant a Sunday
school there. -
but I reckon,
Nasby has made his last appeal to the
.democracy before the election—“one long,
agonizing, lingering appea .” In it he says ;
“Only a few days, and the noble dcmocrisy
of N00 York will know whether they are a
goin to hev the Treasury of the Yoonited
States to plunder, in addishen to the city and
State! Only a few (1831, andJohn Morri-
scy and John Kelley "will know whether
they are to control the democratic party, and
through it the Government, or whether the
one will hev to content hisself with runnin
Tammany, and jhc other his fate banks.
Only a few days, and' the' hundreds uv
thousands uv dimocrats which hcv bin on
shorggrass, and thin pasterage, sence Book‘-
annon went out uv offls,‘-will know whether
they are u goin to revel in. the spoils of post-
ofliscs and custom-houses, or whether they
are to continyoo out in the cold. In view
uv our wants and necessities I implore you
fellow democrats to rally. Rally agin hard
money in the West. Rally agin soft money
in the East. Rally agin th’e oflisals'uv a cor-
rupt administrashcn! Rally agin destro yin
Radikals who hev been in power till they
are ez fat ez we are lean! Rally agin the
military power which prevents us from killin
niggeis just 02 we please. Rally agin the
continuashen uv nigger soopremacy in the
South. Rally agin nigger suffrage in the
North. Rally ngin nigger in the concrete.
Bally agin nigger in the abstract. ‘Rally for
victory and post-ofiises. One more push,
and victory is ours. P. _S.-——I forgot to say
that We might ez well rally for reform.”

The new industry, that of drying eggs, has
been set on foot at Passsu, on the Danube,
and the Prussian military authorities ‘ are
about to give the product a trialfor soldiers
rations. The London Nara says several
German chemists are very sanguine as to the
success of the experiment, and they prQ-
nounce dried eggs to have lost none of their
valuable properties by the gradual eyapora-
tion of the water contained by them in their
original state.

In spite of the reputed efforts, of St. Pat-
rick to banish snakes from Ireland, One of
those animals has lately been captured there.
Its head is very small, With a pointed nose;
it is fully five feet long; the color of its back
is black, and of its belly a sort of ashen gray,
Some persons think thatlt is one of apair of
snakes which were brought to the Island from
India, some years ago by a naturalist, and
escaped soon after ther arrival.
There is a deal of the human nature of the
present times in the following story from the
Congregatz'onalz'st :—-“In his address _ at the
meeting of the Home Missionary Secrety at
Lowell, Mass, Deacon Ezra Farnsworth told
plory of a. man who went through bank-
ruptcy. He owned a fine horse 31nd buggy,
and the team-disappeared for a time, but by
and by it was doing serv1cc for the some
owner again. On being asked what this
meant, the man’s reply was: ‘I went through
team went around. ..
