6 LEXTEES FSOM THE PEOPLE, Silurian ITlaiblc. Menominee. Mich., Nor. 29. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune! I notice that my letter iu relation to the Silurian marble as a building material, recently published in The Tribune. has aheady attracted considerable attention, as it could hardly fail to do in a newspaper of the extensive circulation that The Tribune Las; and already re ceived letters of inquiry about It, not alone from Chicago, hut from other places. I Hud that some think that 1 placed the figures too low as to the cost of transportation, more particularly as to the cost of shipment on the lakes. As to that, 1 do not doom it material; for, if the cost should exceed that of brick, yet, if the city could be built of a material Hre-proof, aud, at the same time, equal in beauty to the best marble, it would be preferable to all other materials now known. lam satisfied that it can be delivered in Chicago as cheap as brick; find that walls built of it will be preferable, in every point of view, to brick My object in wilting was not so much to bring it to notice as to cheapness, but that the public of Chicago might know that they laid, almost at their own doors, the best rock for budding pur poses in the world aud that it might he pro cured without excessive cost. Bur, humuimg that it would cost $34 per cord of 128 cubic feet, which is a fraction less than the cost of anequ.il number of cubic feet of brick «t “CT would the cos: be excessive t Let the fl-mea show. 'We will take for an example a buiidiug HO bv SO, six stories high, each story 10 feet, or CO feet in height. J-ct the walls be 2* inches thick as thev should be call one-half tlie front solid stone-work allow ouc-lialf the side-walls to be enanredto the adjoining buildings, as they would he iu solid blocks; and we have 81 cords of Silurian marble for the solid walls of a building 3U bv to, six stories high; which, at $Bl per cord, would amount iu cost, at Chicago, to $2,850. But the laying of tins rock would cost less than that of brick, which should be placed to Us credit- The rock could bo quar ried of exact thickness for the walls, aiidiu length oi Meet or upward, as mo*t convenient to han dle. It could be so quarried that, for side ami back-end walls, no great expense would be re quired to 111 it lor the walls, aud th»se walls could icceive their finish directly on the face in the wall,—thus saving the expense of lathing, and, at the same lime, saving the use of a com bustible material in case of a lire within the building. It to such a building were added iron roots aud floors, —the floors lined with concrete,— and double blinds to doors aud windows, any tiro that could ever occur on the outside oi such building would not destroy it, and a lire inside would only burn in tlie room iu which it orig inated. like the interior of a furnace. in. is an admitted fact that no building can be tire-proof with wooden roofs, floors, aud tingle blinds tolho windows; but, even with these defects, if the walls were built eighteen inches thick of this material, and tlie wooi-work and combustible material should bun out, the walls would remain standing, and thus furnish a bulwark against further progress ot the lire, an object which would have been of tl?e most vital importance to gain iu the recent conflagration. Had one single street from tlie South Branch to ihe lake shore been built of this rock previous to the great tire, the tire companies could have ■worked behind it. aud have there stopped the proirress of the conflagration. Any building ma teriiU, which can be procured at any price, that will save the city.from another conflagration, will be cheap. It is not the loss of the buildings alone at such a time, but the greater loss of other property, and the loss of life, and great suffering and misery, winch arc to be considered iu mak ing up the sum total in such a disaster. b. I'. Saxton, Esq., of this place, has now gone uii the river to the quarries, and will bring down gome blocks of this marble, aud will forward specimens to Chicago, to be placed in gome public place, where it may be seen by the people who have an interest in rebuilding Chicago iu a style that will not only be proof against future con flagrations, but, will, ai the sumo time, make her one of the finest and best built cities iu the world. There cun be little doubt but that, when it is seen by builders, they will concede that all I liavo said about it us a buiidiug rock is correct, and that this is the material from which the New Chicago should be constructed. Yours truly. Echo of “A Woman’s Wail.” Pekin, HI., Dec. 4. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune Sir: In j'our columns o' December 2 I have just been reading “A Woman's Wail.” I heartily sympathize with the writer, as I have often had the same occasion to be lierce that is tbe cause of her indignation. Her ideas of the provi dence” in the late lire differ somewhat from mine; yet I have honed it would cause a reform la dress, —at least in church aud street attire. I live manj* miles from Chicago; yet your city extends an influence here, in regard to fashions, almost as tyrannical as within its own limits (as every city within an area of hundreds of miles can bear witness); and it seems necessary that tho reform should commence there. The writer says, “If women want to show good sf iifr, why don’t they show wisdom with it t” Whv don't they Because there are none—no. not one—to do whatthey know is right, for fear of derision from the folly-followers. Thousands of i?euaibb- ladies are waiting for some one to lead them iu tbe way tiny know they ought to go. Will “One of the Unfortunate look at the style of dress of the greatest women of to-daj',—women great in intellect, in good sense, iu good, works, and great in the respect and admiration of iu tellicent people of the civilized world, and she will see that each one adopts a st3'le of dress to suit has own convenience (aud the convenience of cverv woman—l am not speaking of dulls). She will not see friUsnor. flounces, tedious tricks, or tremendous trails, but a comfortable, convenient dress, —comfortable, because iris not too low at tlie top; convenient, becauseii is not too low at the bottom. Aud who even thinks of smiling at these women. The wail proves that it comes from a wom an of good sense, and she has as good a right to “show wisdom with it” as any other woman; but, like myself, she has been too prone to wail” over the evil. And now, Mr. Editor, I would like to whisper one word in her ear TTc have been taught that, as distinct individu als. we must answer lor our “sins of omission and commission disobedience to the laws of of lashicn is not mentioned, as it is the duty of ouch woman to take care oilier health and com lorl, does she not sin when she fails to do it f If we wear dresses that drabble, and, in doing so. injure our health, who suffers the penalty i And if, thereby, we hurrry ourselves over the river” before our work here and (the work laid out by the Master) is half Jiu ished, who but our own set res have to account lor it At the last, then, we shall have to be in dependent why not commence to cultivate that excellent trait of character ar oaec “Do unto others as ye would that they should do unto you and. as 3 ou would like some other lady to set an example, by wearing a dress ou the street that is suitable for street wear; set the example yourself, and be ruled by your own souse and wisdom (when you know it is good sense and great wisdom), and I will do the same—hoping i'-c may be benefited, if others are not.

To Ihc Editor of The Chicago Tribune Sir; Allow me to say to the merchants of Chicago, through your valuable paper, that St, Louis is making a desperate effort for this North western trade,—advertising extensively; and sending her men up here, telliug the merchants that Chicago is dead, that her merchants are going to other cities to do business, and other do minatory assertions, not decent lor men of hazi ness to resort to, and more especially when Chi cago is hi her deep calamity. But I lind little sympathy is given to these parties, who are try ing to keep down, instead of helping a sister city in distress. The s>t. Bums 'merchants havo luen made to *ell goods at reasonable prices, for the past few years, by the Chicago men who have traverse;! their hunt ing grounds,” and now they think It is a favor able opportunity to revenge themselves at Chi cago’s expense. Let the merchants of Chicago lock well to their advertising at home and abroad, that the country dealers may know that thev can again supply themselves with all kinds o*f merchandize in a short time as well as before the fire; that Chicago’s merchandize and build ings were burned, but her men at HI tin. and her entcrj>rimf-ia not Hutted out.

A case is about to be tried before the Crim inal Court of Bern, which excites through out the country’quite as much interest tis thorevision of ‘the constitution. The "pris oner is no less a person than the Federal Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he is charged with having appropriated to his owiMise a sum of 500,000 irancs, the property of the Confederation. M. Eggimann was ap pointed Caissier Federal some ten years ago, and was always looked upon as being a man of sterling honesty and great ability, and as be was also possessed of considerable private property’, he took a veiy high position in Bern. Uufor fortmiately. some two years ago he became bitten with the mania for speculation, which has been' tbe ruin of so many persons during the last few 3'ears, and as he had the whole funds of tho Confedera tion in his hands, while Ids accounts were only audited eveiy three months, it was 011I3' necessary for him to take care that he had the correct amount in the Federal chest when the auditors made their examination. He did not commence operations in his own name, as that would have excited remark, but he joined a linn at Bern, the leading member of which was a M. Muralt, the Man aging Director of the Bnnque Commerchile. "Willi the funds provided by Eggimann, this, linn entered into a aeries of the wildest speculations, which turned out. almost with out exception, unsuccessful. Having once, however, begun tbe desperate game, Eggi mann was obliged to continue it. trusting that each fresh venture would enable him to recover what he had lost. Earl 3* iu the present 3'car the Unit, counting upon the continuance of the war, bought up large quantities of corn, but when the time for delivery and >pa3’iuent came they found that they' were heavy losers, owing to tho price having fallen considerably when the peace was signed. Up to this time Eggimann had been able to re place tbe sums he had drawn from the Fed eral Treasmy by accepting bills, which were discounted hy Muralt, as Managing Director of the Commercial Bank—the 1110U03', after the audit was over, being returned hy Eggi mauu to Muralt, wbo then withdrew the bills. This system went on very well so long as Eggimauu’s credit-remained good; but in stead of continuing to live simply and uuos tentatously, as the members of the govern ment invariabl3' do iu Switzerland, lie be gan t-o give expensive balls and suppers, had his box at the theatre, took frequent trips to the German baths; aud altogether acted as though he were possessed of unlimited re sources. All these proceedings excited, not iiunaturalh', a good deal of comment; and although nothing deiinitc was known, peo ple began to talk of the Federal Treasmy with some amount of reserve, one of tho E. s. Ingalls. unpleasant consequences of which was that the Directors of the Commercial Dank refused to discount his bills any longer. A few days afterward Muralt left Beni, accom panied by the good wishes of all who knew him. but this state of feeling did not last lone. The new Managing Director, immedi ately entered on his duties, had the books of the bank carefully examined, and very scon the true state of affairs began to be dis covered. though owing to the ingenious way in which he had managed to confuse the ac counts it was some days before the amount of Muralt’s defalca tions was discovered. When Mur al t T s conduct became known, Eggimnnifs position grew very critical, for every one knew that he and Muralt had been engaged in heavy speculations together, and conse quently people now began to regard him with grave suspicion. Shortly after- Muralt’s llight became known the government order ed Eggimanu's accounts to be investigated, when a deticieiicy of over 500,tX>0 francs was discovered. The position of the gov ernment was an exceedingly difficult one. The next morning, while the Treas urer was at breakfast, two oflicers entered his room, and informed him of the decision come to by the Council. “If you will go on to the Prefecture I will follow you in half an hoar: but I will not go with you,” he said; and as the government was anxious to com plete the matter as quickly as possible, the f sens u’oyiiu* left, and alter jimsliing his breakfast Eggimaun walked through tlie town to the police station, and gave himself up. It is generally understood that he ex pected to be released on paying the amount width he had appropriated from the Federal chest, and during the recent session of the Federal Chambers a resolution to this effect was moved, but it was rejected by a large majority in both Houses, and it was decided to prosecute the charge against him, just as though it were an ordinary case. The case has been for some time in the hands of the Procnrenr-General. who has been actively engaged in collecting the necessary evidence to support the charge. A few days ago Eggi maxm was brought before the Chambrod’Ac cusation, which answers to the English Grand Jury, and committed for trial at the coming assizes at Bern. THE GREENSBORO BLOODHOUND MURDER. Gilmer, flic Accomplice of Parker, Again ISronglu to the Gnllotvs mid Kcccirc* n Second Keqiltc. Greensboro, N. C.. (Ccc. 1) Correspondence of the Just this day live weeks ago, William B. Parker, a white man, expiated the crime of murder on the sc a Hold here, and to-day it was expected that Alfred Gilmer (colored), his accomplice, would pay the same terrible penalty for the same crime. The murder was one of the most barbarous ever recorded. On the morning of the -Ith of December. ISTO, the body of Thomas Price, an aged ami harmless colored man, was found brut tally murdered in an old held a quarter of a mile from Parker's house. Suspicion soon attached to Parker and Gilmer, from the well-known desperate char acter of the former in the neighborhood, and they were at once arrested and imprison ed, and the evidence that was afterward ad duced. both before the examining magistrate and the limit trial, disclosed a most diaboli cal and horrible deed. It appears that Price, the murdered man, was accused by Parker with having burned his barn, and, satisfied in his own mind of Price’s guilt, he proceed ed to take the law into his own hands and execute summary vengeance. Havlug first obtained a supply of whiskey, with which to render his fury still more potent, lie pressed into his service Alfred Gilmer as his accom plice, and, after stating to him his purpose, he called to their mutual aid some half dozen feiccions-iouking bloodhounds. It was toward the hour of midnight when Parker and Gilmer with the pack of hound* went to the cabin occupied by Price. The murderers took poor Price out in the cold wintry night and dragged him some distance to a fence corner. Here Parker began his fiendish work. The dogs, already savage with hunger, sprang repeatedly upon their victim before he was surrendered to their brutal at tacks. Then Parker let Price go and sot the dogs upon him. The poor wretch ran, but soon the hounds were nnon him, their teeth buried in his tiesh, and this was repealed un til his arms and body were torn ami bleeding in a fearful manner. Then Parker would recall the dogs, rendered blood thirsty, and again set them upon the unfortunate man. These attacks were renewed until Price fell from exhaus tion and loss of blood, and, as he cried and begged for mercy in a terrible agony, Parker took a fence rail and, uttering a fearful m.wf’ s w ek bis victim, already nearly "I;• i l blow on the head, felling him to the ah iiiiJ *‘9>;or even groaned afterward, mt stood bv a willing, if l-oliv .io e atc «mplice.

Glasgow (Nov. 17) Despatch to tlie London New*. This afternoon, after the ceremony of cut ting the first sod of the ground on which the Barony Lunatic Asylum at Lcnzie, near Glasgow', is to he built, the health of the Queen was proposed, and enthusiastically responded to. Iu proposing “The other members of the Kot'al Family,” the Chair man (Mr. Meuzies) requested the Key. Dr. Norman Macleod, Queen’s Chaplain, to reply to the toast, and to give them some informa tion about the state of Her Majesty’s health. The reverend gentleman, in responding,said: “I had no intention whatever of making any remarksabout Her Majesty. I think this is the first time I have done it in public; but as the Chairman has called upon mo so pointedly to continn his statements, I beg, having just re turned from Balmoral, to say that I am very glad to unite with my friends hero in drink ing to the health of the roj'al family; but 1 trust Providence has given me such an amount of common sense as not to presume to return thanks for them. As you nave al luded to the Queen’s health iu connection with some information I have given 3*oll, I beg to sa3* this, aud to sa3*it veiy emphatic all3*. that what is meant I)3’ Her Majesty’s having been morally or mentally incapaci tated for 0113* work I leave to Mr. Disraeli to explain, for I cannot comprehend it. I have had the honor, in the providence of God. of ministering to" Tier Majesty, in public and private, for the last thirteen or fourteen 3'ears; 1 have seen her in eveiy variet.v of circumstance, from the highest prosperiQ’ and happiness which aii3' married woman, not to speak of a Queen, could enjo\% and also in the depth of her distress, 1 declare most solemnly, I have never, in the greatest privac3'aud in the most intimate communion that a subject or a clergyman can have, heard one word olVercd, or one sentiment expressed, which did not do the highest honor to I ler Majesty, both as Queen and as a woman; I have never seen the remotest trace of an.v moral or men tal weakness, but 1 have seen in eveiy in stance, down to tbe last moment, remark able evidence of moral and mental strength aud capacity. X am veiy glad to say that from (he severe attack of neuralgia aud rheumatic gout (which has so affected her hands that for a time she was utterly unable even to sign her name) she has cnlireD’ recovered. I have never seen her in belter spirits and stronger iu mind than she is at present. At the same time I am far from saying that she has recovered her strength so as to be able to do more than she is doing. Indeed, lam certain; that the Queen has done all that her nervous energ3’ permits her to do; for I make bold tosav that none of us have the slightest conception of the unceasing demand That is made upon a person iu her high position of attending to innumerable "details, of carrying burdens on her mind without the slightest possibility of one moment’s rest. Our wives lind bow* tr.ving upon the nervous energ.v arc the constant cares of a large familj*, but •when we think what she has to do as a mother, with her children oc cupying such important positions in society; what sue had to do on being compelled often to think about the affairs of the nation, to whose interests she is devoted; when we think of the constant weight that must ever be upon her mind, tbe wonder is that she is able to perform her duties as she has done. Aiqv one who knows the Queen knows that she would do all that is possible for her to do, and no one who knows her is amazed at her extraordiumy cousiderate ness for evert* one, how she occupies her thoughts upon overs* subject, and how she attends to such minute details of her dut3': and 1 will take it upon me to saj* that the case of the poorest subject m her kingdom if made known to her would receive her immediate attention. [Cheers.] Let me also sas* that it is a cruel and cow ardly injustice the manner in which Her Ma jesty is often criticised, when neither as a Queen, nor as a woman can she make any re ply, but must endure in silence. But while these criticisms arc made by the few, I feel certain that the huge majority of this nation so revere the monarch who occupies the throne that dates for a thousand 3'ears. and so admire her unblemished personal charac ter, and the manner in which during her reign she has discharged her public and pri vate duties, that could the3’ utter it, one voice would unite with ours when we say, God save the Queen, may she long be pre served to the nation.’ [Loud cheers.)

Count Beust sent a circular, in FTciieh. on the lOlh inst., to the representatives of Aus tria alnou*!, informing them of his resigna tion. In this circular lie says that the Em peror had relieved him of the functions in The most gracious manner, and appointed him Ambassador in London that the causes of Ins resignation are of a purely personal character, in no way connected with either the Lome or foreign policy of the monarch}*. Called to power on the morrow of a catastro phe which had imperilled the existence of the empire, Count Beust says ho hastened to draw up, in his circular de spatch of the Ist of November, ISM, the pro gramme by means of which ho hoped to tri umph over the difficulties, home and for eign, which the pessimism at that time pre vailing among all classes o£ the population Lad represented as insurmountable. He lias remained faithful to that programme; the ilag of peace which be displayed without piejudice and without secret rancor, after the unfortunate battle of Sadowa, he lias lixinly hold ou high without fear ami with out reproach, and that Hag was the protec tion of Austria amid the vicissitudes of a gigantic struggle which shook the continent ami disturbed the basis of the European equilibrium. “The honor of the monarchy conlidcd to my care,” adds the cir cular,” has remained safe in my hands; even my adversaries render me that justice. Reconciled with oar nearest neighbors, yesterday our enemies, to-day our friends, wo are at peace with all the world, and onr voice is listened to with respect in the deliberations of Europe. We have been able to devote ourselves with entire couli deuce to the development of the immense re sources wi h which Providence bus endowed this country, and unexampled prosperity has recompensed onr efforts. Upon the basis of the arrangement concluded undermyauspices with Hungary, we have at the same lime been able to reform and complete our funda mental laws; we have been able to place in conformity with the exigencies of onr own day the ties that unite onr old monarchy with the various nationalities, which more than everted that their strength is in their union. However imperfect, like every human work, may be the constitution which unites ns, it Las just displayed its salutary and vivifying force in a crisis which we have re cently passed through successfully. I can, therefore, leave with a clear conscience to my successor the results of a policy, at once conciliatory ami just, which the Emperor had entnistedmc with, and which was unani mously approved by the delegates of his people in their session. The task of my suc cessor will be easier than mine. He finds the path not only opened, but smoothed, and if he but follow it, obeying the recommenda tions of our gracious master, ho will one day quit the helm of affairs with the same satis faction that I experience at this moment, when the grace of His Majesty permits me to rest from my efforts, and give to my health the care it claims, seriously impaired, as it is, by the party struggles and the heavy lespousihilities which have incessantly rest ed upon me during the past live years.” Tlic Cherokee Pcxihloxi Fraud*. riom tlic Indianapolis Journal.

Senator Harlan has often found himself in n position where ho owed it to himself, as well as to the Senate of the United States of which he is now a mem ber. to demand a prompt and full investi gation of all these matters, that if innocent he might be relieved of all suspicion, and if guilt v the Senate might purge itself of so un worthy a member. Instead of this, Mr. Har lan lias very quietly sat in his seat, allowing the slanderous charges to accumulate daily,, ami permitting many good people all over thu country, who had been his warm person al friends, to be alienated from him, and to hope for his defeat by the lowa Legislature whenever it should havo an opportunity t> fleet, his successor.

How They Break Horses Iu Texas, Those who have never visited tho regions where wild horses are caught or roared have but little idea how tho untamed steed of tho prairie is rendered tractable and useful. At the present day in Texas the herds of mus tangs that formerly ranged over its vast prairies have become almost extinct iu tho settled portions, and coniine themselves to the extreme western counties, la their place are horses mostl3* crossed with Ameri can stock, which are iu a state of .semi-wild ness—that is. the 3' roam at will until certain seasons of the 3'ear, when all such as can bo caught are driven in herds to huge pons con structed for the purpose, to bo branded and marked, after which most of them are let loose to roam at will again. When tho owner of a portion of a herd dcsiies to break a 113' of his 3'ouug horses, ho proceeds in this wise: Tho first movement is to lasso the horse selected, b3 r the head and fore feet, and throw him to tho earth then a kind of a halter, called a bosal,” is put on his head, botli to servo ns a bridle and to take tho animal by it," being much more effectual than a halter or bridle in cheeking his frantic efforts to liberate him self. He is either tied up elosety all night or staked, at the will of the owner. Tho next morning tho sport begins. All horse or stock-raisers have one or more vaqueros, whom thc>' emplo.v for tlie special purpose of breaking and riding wild and ro liactoiy horses. These go out, followed ly all the members of the funnty, and proceed to overhaul their saddles and see that there is no defect in the “rigging.” When thc.v are satisfied that all is secure, they lead, or rat her drag, forward the steed. He is led, dragged, and whipped for ward, until ho reaches the point where he is to be saddled. A leather strap attached to the bosal is then pulled over his eyes, aud a saddle blanket is dropped gentl3* on his back but veiy seldom remains after the first trial, as he will almost iuvariabb’ shake it off'. After one or two more trials, however, lie submits to both blanket and saddle. The latter is strapped on tightl3’ with two girths, loro aud flank, strapped so tightl>' that one unaccus tomed to the sight would think that it was intended to cut the animal in two. The rider now adjusts the stake-rope into reins I) 3* ty ing it secure^’to the bosal, leaving a‘long end b3* which to hold on, in tho event the horse should succeed in throwing him. Everything is now rcad3'for the mount. The rider adorns his heels with a huge pair of spurs, stands directl.v facing the horse, abreast, or a little forward of the shoulder, seizes the under part of the bosal with his left hand, pulls Ins horse’s head round near him to prevent being kicked, takes tho stir rup in his right hand toward him, places his foot in it lirml.v. Grasping tho pommel, he now gives the saddle a shako or two. makes one or two feints at mounting, to see how his horseship will take it, and then suddenly springs, seating himself securely in the sad dle. The blinds, of course, are still over the eyes of the horse, and, as a general thing, he stands with his neck stretched out and his head partly down, a perfect picture of awk wardness. The rider is at his ease, and ad justs himself and everything about him with the greatest care, as he knows there is warm work before him. When ready for the start he reaches gently forward and slips oil the blinds. Naturally tho horse is rather astonished, and at first refuses to move. A sharp application of the whinandspur, how ever, induces him to change his mind. He takes timidly one or two awkward steps, then suddenly doubling himself up until he resembles acnmel, and throwing his head down before his fore I'eot, he begins a series of pitches, which consists in jumping as high and as far as he can, comingdowu stili legped. Those who have accomplished tho extra ordinary feat of going down a flight of stairs at one step can form some faint idea how it feels to sit on the back of a pitching horse. Some of the more vicious will lie down when the saddle is buckled on. ami it re quires.a tremendous amount of whipping to set them started some will rear ami fall backward, occasionally killing their riders: some will pitch straight ahead for quite a distance; while others will pitch straight for a few jumps, ami then, us the Texans say. “swap ends so quick that it makes your head swim,” Fortunately, they soon t ire of such violent exercise, being wholly unaccustomed to sad dle or weight on their backs, ami break completely in a few hours. The saddles are then taken off, and they are reserved for another trial the next morning. The exercise is continued for a week or more, according to the nature of tho horse, when it is pronounced gentle and tractable for a good rider, but woe to the unsuspecting greenhorn that is tempted to place himself on his back. A few of the horses arc naturally gentle natured, ami never, unless frightened in breaking, attempt to cut up at all. Those who love the horse, ami desire to sec him roaming at will in his beauty and symmetry, with glossy hide and ilowing mane ami tail, should go to the pasture. Female Education In ISttsuin. A correspondent of the Journal dea Debuts, writing from St. Petersburg!!, says that there is no other state in tho world that oc cupies itself so largely with tho education of women as Russia. In German}' that educa tion is conlincd to tho primary schools, and leaves the rest to private individuals. In Russia almost as much care is bestowed upon the higher instruction of girls us of hoys. We have for tho former uymnast*, the number of which is constant ly increasing, not only in tho capitals, but in the provincial towns. Tho injinnasta arc divided into seven classes, and the courses of study differ but slightly from those in use in boys’ schools, except in the matter of the dead languages. Mathematics, natural science, physics, are taught, not to speak of history ami geography. The mother tongue is an object of special attention, while foreign languages, French and German, are less studied, and the study is less successful because the majority of the pupils belong to the middle ami poorer classes, and conse quently have no opportunity to put in prac tice at homo their knowledge of other lan guages. Tho pupils on finishing their course icceive diplomas which give them the right to become teachers. Without such a diplo mas, no one could expect a place under the government or u situation as in structress to a private family. Re side, wo have boarding-schools, wherein, with a few exceptions, only tho daughters of thcnobility arc received, which also confer the right to become touchers upon their pupils. These schools find their most beneficial influence in the distant provinces, where they serve as centres of civilization, spi ending their influence to tho little towns* and isolated villages about them. All these establishments are supported at the ex pense of the Crown, are under tho patronage of tlie Empress or of the Grand Duchess, ami form a special branch of the administration. The principal and subordinate teachers are in the sendee of the .State, receive a certain rank accordingly and a graduated scale, of hulaiy, and on resigning have a right to a pension. Places in them are very much sought after; they are generally given to tho widows of Generals or persons known to the imperial family. The principals of the tji/iinuiHS are a degree lower in the social scale, jnat as their pupils arc recruited from all classes without exception. Persons who have received their education in private schocls-and who wish to become teachers must Pass a thorough examination. It would seem, continues this correspond ent, that Russian women might bo satisfied with the facilities which the State offers for their education, but they do. ask more. Not contented with secondary education, they wish to be admitted tothe advantages of the •highest instruction, and to have si univer sity. There was u time when they were admitted to the university courses, and they entered iu considerable numbers. Rut then came the student troubles, in which they took too prominent a part, and the university doors were closed upon them. One of the girls mounted a bundle of sticks iu tho midst of a crowd of students and addressed to them a violent har angue against the authorities. Since tbcu thcv“havc never succeeded in forcing open the*doors of the sanctuary, ami all they have been able to obtain has been a series of universitv lectures which some of the pro lessors have consented to deliver to them, and this only on conditions that the course should be denominated public and opened to both sexes. Ry a strange contradiction it was decided that female students should Tin: wmnirr Indian* frauds. A PERILOUS TRADE. be excluded from the university to prevent mischief* but that it was indispensable to pennit free entrances by men to the places where tho women were pursuing their stud ies. Iu every case the number of men have been very small, and the ladies are in a great majority. They study law, bis (ol3*, and especially tho natural sciences, anatomy* aud nbysiologj*. Since our xirst lady physician. Madame Suuslof, obtained a success as brilliant as it was merited, the ca reer of medicine has turned many a head. If those who wish to imitate Madame Soos lof would acquire the knowledge aud skill which distinguished her, it would be a benefit to the county; but tbe preparation is ver\* slow, aud few women are capable of suiinounting tho difficulties. So much the greater honor to those who succeed! Outside of medicine the Kussian woman has more opening for her talents than iu an 3' other country except America, aud if she complains, judges this correspondent, she is wrong. There are, without doubt, in consistencies in the tbe course of tbo gov ernment toward her, and -no one seems to know, sometimes, just how much may and how much ma3’ not bo accorded to her, but on tbo whole Russia is far more liberal to her than any other country*, and tho civil rights which she enjoys give her almost entire independence. MURDER WILL OUT. A Colored Convict at Columbus, 0., Con- Tcmhcb the Shooting of 9lr*, Ormsby, Springlleil, 0., (Dec*. 3) Despatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Tho horrible tragedy by which Mrs, S. A. Onusly lost her lile iu this city- at daybreak on tho Kith of July, ISCO, is yet fresh in the minds of our citizens. While at the Peni tentiary on Friday Sheriff’ Coffin and Dep uty Boggs had a long interview with a col ored convict named Charles Bell, iu which he made to them the remarkable and start ling confession that ho wtis the murderer of Mrs. Onnsb3'. Bell resided here at the time of the traged3', aud was known as a person of rather a loose character. Shortly after he disappeared, and was heard no more of until sentenced to the Penitentiary for sixteen 3'ears from Columbus for burgfa^'. Hisstoiy is that on the night preceding the murder, himself aud a comrade, whose name he refused to divulge, both intoxi cated, went to the house of Mrs. Ormsb3% oh East High street, with the intention of com mitting burglar3’. Laving heard that the laity had SI,OOO iu cash iu her possession. They reached the place at 11 o’clockp. m., and laid down under a tree iu the orchard and slept until awakened b3* the crowing of cocks m the dawn of da 3*. Tllo3'thou arose and Bell effected an entrance to the house, aud had been searching about the rooms but a short time when he was confronted by Mrs. Orms b.v, who seized him I) 3' the clothing. ‘That instant he drew his pistol, which he so 3's he borrowed of a man named Dick Brown, working for Thomas Mast, aud tired, tho ball taking effect iu the breast of tho lad.v, aud killing her iustantty. Ho then leaped from a window and ran northwest through a potato patch to the Fountain 1 louse, where he remained. What became of his second he does not know, or at least does not state. Through all tho excitement which marked that toirible da 3*, he kept quiet, but in the evening got drunk in Howard’s sa loon and had a muss in which ho was arrest ed and conliued iu the Station House over night. The next morning he was discharged, upon tho condition that ho left tho city* imme- which he did. Bell made the best of his wa>’ to South Charleston, Ohio, going from there to West Jefferson, Ohio, aud then to Columbus. Here in the course of time he was engaged In a barglaiy, was arrested, tried, convicted, and sen tenced for sixteen years in the Penitentiary. The deed has pressed heavilv upon his mind and he has sought opportunities to make a confession, without success until the present time. Lathi:.— Great excitement prevailed here .Saturda>’ and Sunday, over the announce ment that Charles Bell proves the man who killed Mrs. Ormsb.v here on the 10th of July, 1801). It is thought that tlw Governor of Ohio will pardon Bell for bur glar 3*. for which ho has thirteen wars to serve in the Penitcntiarv. and that liell will be brought here for trial for killing Mrs. Ormsb.v. No doubt but what Bell will be Ibe first man who ever was hung in Clarke Conut3'. THE EMPEROR WILLIAM AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. l.ciicr of tlie Emperor of Germany to the ArchblMhop of Cologne—The Catholic BiNhops of PruHnin Rebuked—Equal Be- UgiouM Right* Promhcd to nil. The Emperor of Germany has written tho following letter to the Archbishop of Cologne, in reply to the Prussian Bishops of the Tio nian Catholic Church: VKWKiunLKAKCirr.isnor—Tn the pelitionsigaed and addressed to me on tho 7th mst., by Your Eminence and other Bishops, measures with re* gard to education which my government has been obliged to adopt in conformity with existing laws are designated as an attack upon tbs most cher ished convictions of the faith and tho Church, as a restraint openly imposed upon consciences, and Your Eminence, iu consequence, believes yourself hound to make a solemn protest against the possible encroachments on tho domain of tho faith and tho rights of Hie Catholic Chu*eh. Alter the fact that it has hitherto and at all time* been recognized by tho Bishops of theCatn olic Church, and chiefly by His Holiness, tin; Pope, that the Church has almost in no other countiy enjoyed so favorable u position as in l’in*si;i. I was surprised to Dud In the petition of the Prussian Bishops merely an echo of the language by which it has been attempted by means of the press, to shake tin* just confidence hitherto awarded by my Catholic subjects to mv government. Your Eminence is aware that no change Las been made in the legislation which has hitherto nipt with the approbation of the Catholic EpUco pate, ami the petition docs not cite any law in particular which has not been observed by my government, if. on the contrary, events have taken place in the interior of tho Catholic Church, In consequence of which the present satisfactory relations of that Church with the State seem threatened with some change, I an far Hem believing myself authorized to pro nounce a judgment on questions of dogmatic order and relative to these same events. The mission of my government wilLrathcr consist in lidding, by means of the Legislature, a legal so lutiui of the conflicts recently arisen between the civil and ecclesiastic authorities in case these conflicts could not he avoided. Until that hikes place in tin? constitutional way ir Is for mo to maintain the existing laws audio protect, incase of necessity. every Prussian in tin* enjoyment of Ids rights. I leave It to my government to reply to the reproaches addressed to it by Your Emi nence and the bishops. 1 had hoped that the powerful elements of tho Catholic Church, which in former tlnioa opposed the national movement led by Prussia, would now, alter the legal organization of tho German Empire und in the interest of tho State, lend it then* voluntary support. Tho benevolent terms in which Ills Holiness the Pope welcomed by a wilting in his own band the reconstitution of tho empire made me hope so. Put even if that hope should not bo realized no disappointment on that ground would ever prevent me from watching that full and entire liberty should he secured in the present and the future, to every religious belief in my States, in conformity with the rights and the equality of all before the law. Certain of fulfilling conscientiously my royal duties, ami of being just to all. I shall notallow the confidence I have put in iny Catholicsubiocfs to be shaken, and I am convinced tbat-thls confi dence is reciprocal and durable. Requesting Your Eminence to communicate my answer to the other signers of tho petition, I re main# &c, William. REISM-V, Oct. IS, 1871. The Nallmii House* New York foiTcsponilcncc of the Trov Times. The Nathan House, in New York, has af forded a frequent theme for paragraphs, and many interesting stories concerning it have been put into circulation. It has been said that the house was sold at a reduced price because of tho horror connected with tho tragedy which occurred within its walls. Another statement informs the public that it has been rented by a noted gamester for a faro hank, while it is said on the other hand that such is the taint connected with it that no tenant will take it at any price. The storiesareallequallyfal.se. The facts are these The family abandoned the house im mediately after the dreadsul affair which has given them such painful publicity. They did not, however, remove the furniture, which st ill remains iu its former condition, and a trusty servant with his family has charge of tho establishment. Tho house has never been in tho market, either for purchase or tenant, and will not in all pro bability ho offered very soon. The family has hired a very stylish mansion iu Fifth avenue, for which they pay about SIO,OOO per annum, t his rent including that of furniture. The Nathan mansion has been correctly de scribed as being of elegant linish. and was built under the inspection of its late owner. He took great delight in this mansion, and. having made his property by assiduous at tention to business, ho was the better pre pared to enjoy it. He frequently mentioned to an acquaintance of mine that ho could get $225,000 for tho property. This price is now out of the question, but it would readily bring $175,000. Mr. Nathan’s estate has been rated from $500,000 to $1,000,000, but its pre cise amount is only known to tho little circle of heirs. The mystery of murder remains as impenetrable as over; but I have been told by a person who lives near by that many, if not most of the neighbors, discard the sneak thief theory. A IJeiuarbnblc North Carolina Negro, From tho Raleigh Carolinian. The most remarkable character wo over recorded is a negro murderer in Nash Coun ty, named Luke Johnson. Luke was lirst taken up for larceny, some months ago, and a negro witness, living in a iog cabin in the woods, testifieda against him before the grand jury. Ho tracked this witness to his house one night, and poking hislgun, loaded with old nails, through a crack, ho shot him dead. He only stayed there one drif/—-got out that night; was rearrestod and carried to the Warren County Jail, there to bo kept more secure. This is a strong jail, and is fenced around by a strong rock wall, ami liffv fierce bull-dogs kept iu the jail-yard. Luke was confined iu a close cell, and at last tho authorities thought they had him safe. Rut they were mistaken. He took a rock out of the fioor that weighed live hun dred pounds with his owu hands, and crawl ed under ami got to the door of the jail, but here he stopped on account of the bull-dogs, and he stood there iu the door and waited for the jailor to come and “put him back.” The jailor came along after awhile and slap ped Luke in again. Rut Hie authorities were afraid to trust Inin much longer, so they took him back to Nash County, and he had his trial. *He was sentenced to be hung by the neck till he was dead on last Friday the 17th inst. This time they handcuffed him securely in the jail, with cuffs made to order, and also put on auklecuffs, locking them up securely, and then they had a chain that run from his handcuffs to his auklccnftk. aud this chain was locked through a big iron bolt and ring in the door. He was allowed a sitting pos ture in a common split-bottom chair, and with his hands reached down, chaiued aud buckled, and taking the round out of the chair, aud. running it in the chair, twisted it out, breaking tho link in about twenty pieces. There was a wire in some way con nected with this ring, and with this ho Sicked the locks on his culls aud got his ands and feet free. Then, with apiece of the iron link, hej forced the locks on the three iron doors locked on him, and also the wooden one at the entrance of the jail, and in this/way made his third escape, let ting out with him another negro prisoner. Ho thus made his escape from tho gallows six days ueforo hanging day, which was ap pointed to have been last Friday. Luke Johnson, wo aro told, is a young, strapping negro man, giugercake color, and is about years old. He was sold as a slave seven times in Richmond, Va., before the war. He isagrent mechanical genius, and during the war ho made a buggy out of wood, with white-oak springs, and without a piece of iron in it. In this buggy be used to ride to church. When sentence was pronounced on him hi Nash County Court House, as the Sheriff marched him out ho exclaimed: You all aru’t agoing to hang mo you can’t do it Ho is still loose, and sweat's he will wear leave Xash County.
