Berlin, Prussia, Nov. H.
The fearful disaster which haft befallen
your opulent and thriving city still coniin
es the object of general attention and hearty
sympathy. The telegraphic news of the de
struction of the proudest portions of Chicago
fell npon all classes and circles of this capi
tal like a national calamity, and at once
means were taken to practically express tbc
unfeigned participation of the numerous
public in your great sorrow. Up to this day,
something over 40, CO;) thalers have been
raised, and more, it is confidently expected,
will yet come in. Mr. Kreisman, United
States Consul, informs ns that preparations
are being made to give a grand concert in be
half of the Chicago sufferers. To this eliect
the use of the Royal Opera is secured, and
arrangements arc in progress to obtain the
services of the best artists thenation allords.
Papers giving detailed accounts of tho
fearful destruction arc now reaching all
classes of this vast population daily, and
continue to awake interest and sympathy.
The-certitude of your inhabitants, and the
unprecedented energy with which they pro
ceed to rebuild, excite wonder and unfeigned
admiration. New* of yonr present pros
perity is looked for with as much avidity as
was that reporting the alarming progress of
the flames preying npon your opulent homes
and commercial horses.
The incomparable rapidity with which the
journals reappeared has also been favorably
.appreciated by tbe Berlin press, and several
leading sheets have highly complimented

continues plodding about, and. from time to
time, through measures submitted by the
government. Few of these measures, thus
far. have ailorded more than local interest.
Among such as have, is one (recently carried
by a goodly majority) regarding the intro
duction of one of Prussia’s favorite institu
tions in the Umpire, viz., a reserve fund of
-io.i' o.(i oof thalers, in bullion, to be used at
the government's descretion, in the event of
war. This measure met with considerable
well-grounded opposition from the Liberals,
but the “infallible” of Prince Bis
maik. sustained by facts showing The vast
benefit derived from the similar Prussian
“military treasure,” at the beginning of the
recent war. secured its passage. This in
stitution never obtained poimlar favor in
.Prussia. And, considering that the dota
tions of the navy and army already amount
to some that a liberal military
"miiget is annually voted by the Diet; that
Germany's actual forces amount to over
l.OthVjOuu of well anm-d men: that she now
has the bastions of Prance in her posses
sic n. and that, as continued by government,
Ihe prospects of continued peace were never
better than at present, an unbiased observ
er naturally asks why the government
.-bould|take siOjHKi.OoO of much needed capital
from the nation's commerce and sink them
in military coffers. Indeed, this singular
exhibition of political economy compels one
to infer that the government has not firm
confidence in the people, or, that it mistrusts
the professed.

~fliv mysterious visit of tbe Russian Chan
cellor! o'tbc Berlin Court and Cabinet: the
muoval of Count Beust from the Fremier
>lnp of Austria, and the harsh tone of the
jctirir.g Vienna Cabinet's organ, the .la-slnau
.fountal. scorn plainly to indicate the aecurn
w of the latter inference. The wild and
contradictory speculations of the German
piessouthe Austrian Ministerial crisis, and
the ambiguous assertions of the ollicial or
pins, in attempting to counteract the ex
citement and distrust generated by specula
tors. also confirm this. One thing is certain.
Count Beust was friendly to the German
Realm: and his successor, Count Andrassy.
kite Chief of the Hungarian Cabinet, is
known to have been the friend of France,
and to have opposed Austrian neutrality dur
ing the late war.
Another measure emanated from the Lib
erals, and aiming speeiallly at an ameliora
tion of a flairs in Mecklenburg, where feudal
ism U still ?o prosperous that citizenship is
little bct»cr than serfdom, was also passed
J>y a fair majority. It was presented in the
ioizu of an additional article to the empire's
constitution, and provides that each ?s£ate of
the Union dial! have a representative cham
ber elected by the people, whose sanction
shall he necessary in the framing of every
Jaw of the Stale, and the establishment of
the budget.
At its thud reading a stormy scene ensued.
In which one of the Deputies. HcrrJlebel
(Social Democrat) vented Ills extreme views
in a manner rather disrespectful to the au
thorities, and ventured so far sis to say that
the German Constitutions, that of the Henlm
included, were not worth the paper they
■were written upon.
President Siinsun, upheld by the House, si
lenced the speaker.
Another De.inty. Herr Lasker, felt it his
dnl v to answer Hebcl. as follows:
1 ie u ho glorifies the Commune, as did the
last speaker, he who places brute force above
law, is an enemy of law. ami his perfidious
intentions must be reprimanded. Hut the
German people is too upright and too lirm to
•accept as earnest the expectorations of a fan
atic. Never yet has national representation
been kicked by governments.”
It is not probable that this vote will have
any practical effect: fox it is not only very
Jik‘ely ihat the Federal Council will reject
•ihe measure, but there are strong reasons to
hope that the Grand Duke and the privileged
clas> of Mecklenburg, alarmed by this move
ment. will, of themselves, bring about a par
tial reform in the actual organization of the
Duchies.
Tliu official press does not oppose the meas
ure, but severely criticises its ’‘threatening

Mirancctbat no exterior pressure will be re
quired to restore harmony in Mecklemburg
by bringing about a more satisfactory state of
ahairs. w This sufficiently indicates that the
Imperial Government will advise with that
of Mecklemburg, and that the legitimate de
mand of the poimlations of the Duchiea will
be granted, at least in part.

Sn:; Xiiont a fortnight ago I proposed
that Kurland should present a new Free
labrarv to Chicago, to remain there as a
mark o‘f sympathy now, and a keepsake and
token of true brotherly kindness for ever,
Having drawn up a scheme according to
which this movement could be started) car
ried on, and completed, I found many mis
understandings as to its scope. Perhaps,
trefore, you will permit me to give a brief

i objection likely to bo made
tl«u f the Americans with money of their
own or sent there by us, could with much
economy buy English works, is to be met by
the consideration that in a library so large
the works of living authors, and works oyer
which our publishers have copyright claims
in England, will form but a small portion
that in a great national act such as that
contemplated, the question of economy or of
the conduct of American publishers will not
he thought worthy of consideration by the
English people; and that the undoubted
spontaneous generosity of the English
may even recall to the American
mind the propriety of doing ns justice in this
very question. As to the sending a money
subscription for a library, ‘it is to be remem
bered that this gift to Chicago will possess
all the charm of a keepsake,” which can
never be impressed on gold or bank notes.
Such is a brief outline of the plan which
was submitted to Mr. Hughes, and by him
brought before the Anglo-American Associa
t ion. That society has undertaken to organ
ize a general committee for the direction of
the scheme; it has given the use of itsoflices
(No. 1 Adam street, Adolphi,) for the recep
tion *cf letters; and it has requested
me to act as Honorary Secreta
ry. After this statement of the breadth
of the project, it is only nescessary to add
that it is not intended that living authors
should give all tire books they have written.
This l wonld in many cases be too heavy a
tax on the patronage of a class who are not
always rolling in riches. I believe all our
authors will give a volume or two the rest
in that department will be douo by our great
publishers, several of whom have already
promised generous support. Such is the
state of matters at present. "When the com
mittee is fonued, it will. I think, be found
to be fairly representative of all parties and
professions, and thus of the nation at large,
and thus be in a position to ask, with a cer
tainty of success, for the support of the pub
lic and the aid of the press. I a*n. your obe

swept it every night. He moved out aud I moved
in—in order to dislodge tbo ghost if possible. The
third night, about midnight, the sweeping com
menced. I arose from my bed ns quick as I
could, to get a light, and while I was getting a
light tho cat attacked the ghost, and a fight com
menced. The cat was whipped pretty quick. I
ran in with tho light aud there my eyes mot a

Blooded Murders—Her Approaching
Trial.
One of the most remarkable cases ever put
ou a crimiunl docket is about to bo tried in
New Haven. The accused, a woman, is charg
ed in the indictment with the guilt of four
cold-blooded and unnatural murders, while
by popular opinion she is guilty of these and
seven more. All of her victims, at least all
of these eleven, were connected to her by the
closest domestic ties, as the list is made up of
three husbands, six own children, ami two
step-children.
The history of the case is bricllyas follows:
In May last Horatia N. .Sherman, a factory
hand at Birmingham, Conn., died smldeulj',
with all the symptoms of arsenical poUon.
Suspicion naturally rested on his wife,
who was known to have re
cently quarreled with him. The woman,
however, boro attho time a good character,
having been for many years a member of the
Presbyterian Church, in good and regular
standing. She was 47 years of ago, ami
might be supposed to have enjoyed what
ever benetit there is in family alilictiou, as
before she became Mrs. Sherman she had
lost two husbands and six children. In isio
the woman, whose maiden name was Lydia
Danbury, married her lirst husband, a
widower of the name of Struck, and bore
Idm seven children. After eighteen years of
married life Struck died, after short illness,
in ISM. In the two following years six of
the seven children, all who lived with her
in New Jorsey, also died, and were buried in
Trinity Cemetery. After the death of her
children the widow Struck moved to Strat
ford, where she became acquainted with
ami married an elderly gentleman,
Hurlbnrt by name. After a union
of fourteen months, Mr. Hurllmrt
died suddenly, leaving her his entire proper
ty, amounting to SIO,OOO. This was in ISCS.
In the fall of ISTO she once more promised to
love, honor, and obey a husband—this time
a Mr. Sherman, for whose murder she is now
on trial. Sherman, like the former two, was
a widower, and had four children. In less
than six months after their marriage Frank
Sherman, the youngest of the family, died
after a day or two of sickness, with violent
cramps and vomiting. In less than two
montlis, on New Year's eve, a second child,
Ada, 15 vears old, beautiful, and a village fa
vorite. died in similar jwiroxysms. None ap
peared more deeply affected than the
mother, who had devoted herself to
the sufferers like a real parent. Sus
picion was not even then aroused, but when
three months later the husband expired with
exactly similar symptoms, and those the
symptoms of death by poison, the coinci
dences being so startling as to compel at
tention and investigation. A post mortem
examination was hold, and tho stomach sent
t»i prof. Barker, of the Yale Medical Faculty,
for chemical analysis. Ho reported tho pres
ence of arsenic in largo quantities. The
graves of the two children were then secret
ly opened and tho same deadly drug found in
their bodies also. This was damning proof
enough, but tho physicians wished to bo
doubly assured, and so had the long-cov
ered grave of Hnrlburt also opened and his
remains examined. Tho result was the
same. There seemed now but one possible
conclusion, and the stepmother was arrested.
The indictment has to do with only these
four murders, but the nrobabilities now
point to her as the murderess of her first
family as well, and if acquitted on the pres
ent charge she will undoubtedly be held to
answer lor the Struck mortality. After the
preliminary examination in July she was
taken to the county jail in New Haven,
where she remains awaiting her trial. Here
she has been visited by a largo number of
persons, and, among others, by a corres
pondent. who recently had an interview
with her.
During tlm interview he says she s-emud
perfectly at ease, was fashionably and neatly
dressed, carried an elegant gold watch at
herwaist, and in appearance and conversa
tion impressed me as a Jadv of culture and
refinement. After passing the ordinary pre
liminary common-places of conversation, I
remarked thatshc must find her prosentlifo
very monotonous and wearing, and asked if
she was well treated.
“Oh,-.yes,’’she replied, “I have every lib
erty given to any of the prisoners.*
“*I suppose you would like as early a trial
as possible ?”T continued.
“I should think that the weight of so ter
rible an accusation would wear upon yon.”
‘•lt would,indeed, sir.were I not conscious
of my own innocence.”
“But you must admit that the appearances
are at present against yon.”
“Perhap so; but (smiling) one mustn’t
judge by appearances, yon know,”
I suppose one of the strong points in tho
defense is the absence of any apparent cause
for tho alleged crimes
“Thatwillbeoncargumcnt.no doubt. I
don’t see why I should have taken any of
their lives. lam sure no one can say but
what lam an affectionate wife and mother.”
The probable line of defence will undoubt
edly be a plea of insanity, It is stated that
Mr. AVatrons, her counsel, intends to admit
the facts and the inevitable conclusions
therefrom, perhaps going so for as to instruct
bis client to plead guilty” at once and then
proceed to prove her insanity.
A Woman Snffrngcr iu England.
From Justin McCarthy's London .Correspondence iu
the avwsrate Mall.
Mrs. Josephine Butler is one of our hero
ines here. She is a sort of younger Mrs.Cady
Stanton, or a married Pluebe Oozzens. She
is attractive iu appearance, marvellously
gifted with power of longue, intensely «»m
--paiica and full of courage. She is probably
tho foremost representative of womans
cause in England—that is to say the most
prominent: for, I think, that socially Mrs.
Taylor, wife of P. A. Taylor, the wealthy
radical M. I*., has probably most influence;
and intellectually Miss Aden Taylor (no rel
ative to tbe former lady) leads the way;
Miss Tavlor baring the advantage of being
Stuart 'Mill’s daughter-in-law. Put Mrs.
Josephine Jhitler has lately distinguished
herself as the leader of the must vehement
and powerful organization of wom-iii whtoii
ever enforced petticoat rule in this
country in the agitation against tho Con
tagions Diseases acts. These acts wo can
not very well discuss or describe here, but
vour leaders will understand tho point of
them to be the legal subjection of women
who are professionally immoral to periodical
examinations in hospitals. A perfect tom
pest of agitation broke out ajrainst.thrinea.s
nres. Never since the Thracian women tore
Orpheus in pieces was feminine energy more
liercely displayed. It was a grand battle be
tween sentiment and surgery—between the
pestle and the petticoat. Need I say that
sentiment and llio jupon are likely to carry
the day? The mcdicalauthorities,tUc scien
tific men, from Huxley down, are on the one
side. Sympathetic airs. Butler ami the
ladies are on the other. Mrs. Butler
comes from tho North of England, and
she thrilliugly told the House of Commons
Committee that iu the North “tho spirit of
AVat Tvler is still living!” If yon remember
the exact, details of Wat Tyler s history you
will see that the allusion was very apt and
forcible, although, perhaps, not belonging to
the class of historical anecdotes to which
ladies in general care to allude. But Mrs.
Butler and her allies have rendered it ditu
enlfc indeed for any candidate, whatever his
merits, to have the slighest chance at an
English election unless ho goes iu fora re
nunciation of the obnoxious arts, lam un-
I partial myself. I don’tknowanythuig about
the matter. I suppose tho ladies must be
i right, and I dare say Huxley is an ignoramus;
and 1 don’t care about all the doctors; and
though it strangely happens that the one on
ly woman doctor wc have gics.
1 am told, with Huxley and
her profession against her sisters, yet I
suppose her defection only arises from the
stupefying influences of association with
men. ‘But I do admire the spirit, courage,
and pertinacity with which Mrs. butler and
the women have worked this business; and
I know that when they want ,vot«s they
must have them. I have only just learned
that Mrs. Butler has organized an associa
tion of ladies pledged never to receive into
their house any profligate man of whatso
ever rank. How verv nicely this sounds —if
only it could he put into genuine practice.
Bui von know that the ladies of his day all
thought Joseph Surface a pattern of morali
ty, and sonic people thought the same of Tar
tuffe. There isa great Englishman of to-day
concerning whom I have found opinion iu
private very much divided—six persons
maintaining that they know him to lie a
.saint, and half-a-dozen vowing that they
could prove him to be a sinner.

REBUILDING CHICAGO,
And restoring its former greatness after its late de
vastation by fire.
The year 1572, It will be remembered. Is a
PRESIDENTIAL YEAR,
And the campaign will, in aJI probability, bo as exdt.
ing as any that has transpired since the outbreak ot
the late war. The Chicago Tribune will uphold and
defend the principles of the Republican party with
its accustomed vigor and earnestness. Our platform
consists of:
Equal nnd exact Justice, *nt*lhe ballot-box and
before the law, to all men, without distinction
of race or color.
Amncs'y for nil political .offences coiiriecied
with the rebellion.
A tariff for public revenue only.
Preservation of the public lands for actual
settlers under the Homcstend.nnd Pre-emption
laws.
Opposition to monopolies of every descrip
tion, and to corruption In every form*
Such reform of the civil service as shall make
men and fitness. Instead of partisan zeal or per
sonal favoritism,' the test of preferment to
Federal offices.
Our readers, and the public generally, are so we
acquainted with the tone and quality of Tue Chicago
Tribune, that we need not enlarge upon, that subject.
Near the close ol the 25th year of our existence as a
public Journal, we had the misfortune, in common
with a largo majority of the business community ot
Chicago, to he burned out, losing thereby the most
commodious newspaper building in the United States,
and being deprived, temporarily, of the use of our ex
tensive printing machinery. Wo have commenced re
building our ruined edifice on on a more enduring plan
than before, and we have effected arrangements for the
nso of machinery which practically gives os the same
facilities that wo possessed before the tire. Upon oc
cupation of our new building and machinery Tub

pages of reading matter.
