Thb Money Monqsbs of Waio, Bt seet.
The financial anarchy which has reigned
hi New York daring the past week would
not bea-sonroe of partioalar regret, i!
the effeota fell upon the heads of the
reek!e&8 gamblers of Wall street alone.
Unfortunately, the unnatural excitement
engendered by this perversion of tho
financial machinery extends its influence
beyond that immediate locality, and has
a tendency to paralyze aome departments
of general trade. Many theories have
been.. advanoed as to the oause of this
condition of things and its remedy, bat
so- far we have seen nothing even at?
tempted, with any'show of sacoees, to
put an end to it. One thing is patent
in realising the' situation, and that is,
that there must be something radically
wrong in the financial system of the
country, when at any moment, as at pre?
sent, it lies at tho mercy of a few un?
principled speculators. No conn try in
the world ever presented such a picture
ae.onrs to-flay, when men, intent upon
plundering by "corners" and other me*
thods peculiar to money sharpers, with?
out respect for their country or their
fellow-men, and equally indifferent to
the laws, msy carry their greed to the
extent of foroing a panic upon the pub?
lic It is to be hoped that the present
evil will be cruehed before it attains
greater proportions, and hereafter, as
should have baen done heretofore, mea?
sures be taken to bring the oountry back
to the oondition of a sound specie-pay
ing.currency?which is the only step to
render gold gambling impossible. The
gold premium on Saturday was oarried
up ba. the highest point attained
in the present speculation. The quota?
tion at the same time last year, the 5th
of April, was 92$@lOJa; in 1871,10J?@
1Q#; in 1870, 12>b*; and in 1869,13%.

grims, who, under the auspices of the

faith of St. Peter's, nnder the shadow.of
the Vatican. So these Amerioan visitors
swarm in the streets, eroWd the parlors,
and fill the best hotels, the largest and
newest of which, built in a healthy lo?
cality, above the reaoh of the fever ma?

The Gekat Triumph of * American
Joubnawbm.?The New York Herald, of
Sunday, eomes to us in quintuple form,
which ia the largest sheet we h&?e soon
in tho daily newspaper line. The Herald,
in referring to its enterprise, says:
For the first time since its establish?
ment, the Herald appears to-day in a
quintuple form, containing 120columns,
of which 78 are devoted to advertise?
ments and 42.to news and general intel?
ligence. This event, unprecedented in
the hi?tory of journalism in this, and wo
believe in any other oountry, has a sig?
nificance not con fined to the success of a
singla establishment, but embraoing the
interests of the wTiole Amerioan press
and bearing upon the oharaoter of tho
Amerioan people and upon the progress
of the Amerioan nation. It shows whafr
unexampled triumphs have already been
achieved, and remain yet to bo won, by
the vigor and enterprise of journalism in
this oountry.
It is a remarkable historical fact, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, that tho leading
opposition mon to tho Domooraoy, when
they are in the last stages of life?before
they die?nnite themselves with that
body. If Henry Olay had lived and been
in good health in 1852, he would have
been their candidate for President. This
was agreed upon by Donglass, (Joss and
othors. Both Glay and Webster, if they
had longer survived, would have voted
for Franklin Pierce for President. They
Save evidences of this fuot before their
eath. The founders of the Republican
party were Wm. H. Seward and Salmon
P. Obase. Both of them virtually bo
longed to the Democratic organization,
although they have given their lives and
services to those who were its antago?
nists. There seems to be something in
the Demooratio party whioh no man who
lives to a good age can oppose.

Epiubmio 19 Cannex/ton, Indiana.? This
town is just recovering from one of the
moat disastrous epidemics, iff all ita
mauifeatationa and details, that has
visited this immediate section sicco the
cholera of twenty-fire years ago. The
small-pox broke oat hero in the early
part of January, a?d, *fter raging with
extraordinary virulence for twelve weary
weeks, is now, happily, almost abated,
there being bot little over a dozen oases
reported, and tboae of a mild form. Bet
many families mourn the loss of mem?
bers, some, indeed, having been almost
extinguished. In one household, with
five children about the home hearth two
months ago, only the,father and. mother
I are left. In almost every home visited
! by the terrible disease, the loss of one or
more children is mourned. . ? ~-r^
The first coming of the epidemio was
so peculiar in the olronmsUnoea attend
i ing it that their fall detail will be of in?
terest. While the disease was raging in
Louisville, dar tag the latter part of De?
cember, a relative here of one of the vic?
tims received from your eity a sewing
maohine and a bundle of olothing, pre?
sumably the effeota of her dead relative.
However this may be, as the story has
been told me, she was attacked with
sniaii-pcs, and, I believe, died. There
bad been one case of the disease in town
before, of a negro who contracted it in
Louisville, bat so carefully was be
isolated from the rest of the town, that
none of the after disastrous results are
traoeable to the infeotion of bis bed*
side. The woman I have mentioned
was intimate with tho family c! a Gor?
man baker in the town, who had a num?
ber of ohildren, the elder of whom had
the disease before. A younger child was
attacked with emall-pox. The fact was
carefully oonoealed by the ignorant ad?
vice of the attending physioian?a Ger?
man?and the children of the family at?
tended school as before, the shop also
being kept open and daily filled with
customers. In nine or ten days, the
fearful disease broke out all at ones in
all parts of the town, but particularly in
the classes and at the public school and
Sunday Sohool attended by those ohil?
dren. Almost every one of the earlier
oaaes is to be directly traced to Hub in?
fected house, as I am told,.and to the
wretched concealment of the first case
the dreadful results of the epidemic
must in a great measure be referred.
Thirty or more oases were reported
among the Germans within the space of
twO or three days, and the town was de?
livered over to a le?*"-fo1 panic. At first,
the authorities made no motion to arrest
its progress, but in a week or so, strin?
gent measures were adopted, a board of
health appointed, and the most effectual
preoantions possible taken to prevent its
spread. Every infected house was rigid?
ly quarantined, and * fine of twenty
aollars, or perhaps, more, imposed upon
any violation of the regulations. Nurses
were employed by the town, and a
guard, whose duty it was to prevent
egress from' houses in which were small?
pox patients, and to attend to the wants
of inmates.
But the disease spreads in spite of all
precautions, and for weeks the town suf?
fered under a mortal terror, suoh as can
hardly be imagined by one uot having
personal experience of its manifestations.
On a visit hero during the worst stages
of its virulence, I found the streets de?
serted,, except by ajburried passenger or
so called out by special lousiness; the
stores were empty, and the large cotton
mill, into which the disease fortunately
did not entt?r, furnished almost the only
sign of activity within its limits. There
are some 2,500 inhabitants in the town,
and first and last there has been about
six per cent, of the entire population
attacked. Nearly thirty-three per oent.
of the cases were fatal, an extraordinary
mortality, I am informed. *
I have said that several families were
almost swept from the face of the earth.
In one, of a German?the pestilence
seems to have been almost entirely con*
fined to that element of the population,
whioh is here large?ouo child died in
the morning before day-break, another
at .noun, and another jnst at nightfall.
The three were taken from the house
that night and hurried to a common
grave. Another family lost five ohil?
dren; anothor six. In another, father
and three children were buried within
four days of each other, and the mother
was alooe left behind.
If not for the painful thoughts sug?
gested, a sight to be seen overy day in
the streets would have been most gro?
tesque. Tho guards, of whom I have
mado mention, wero selected of men who
beforo had tho disease. But as several
oases aro reported of patients who had
recovered from the disease and afterwards
wore attacked^agoin, these men olothed
themselves in rubber from head to foot,
as a protoction agaiuBt infection, with
ligatures tied olosely around the wrists
and anklots, and heavy rubber gloves
and boots euousing hands nnd feot.
These men wero each provided with a
yellow flag, and meeting you *ou tho
street, would wave it toward you, to
wurn you of their occupation, and the
passengers never failed to give them the
widest berth the limits of tho street
would allow.?Cannellon, Ind., Corres?

At Carlisle. Pa., a week or two ago, a

for the lawyers for a oentury to come.

Arnold, the person who robbed the pas?

his room at the Sea Island Hotel, in
I Beaufort, by Oonduotor Elliot, of the
Savannah and Charleston Railroad, and
the Sheriff of Beaufort County. A little
over 8109 dollars in greenbacks, a dirk
and two screw-drivers was all that was
found upon bis person; in the meantime,
a search warrant was pat in the hands of
I Officer Gibbe, who searched room 28,
and there found under a friendly bureau,
watches, chains, specie and railroad
tickets, the identical property that had
been stolen. Upon bringing the pro?
perty found into court, Arnold waived
an examination, and in default of 81,000
bail, whioh he informed the justice
might as well be 81,000,000, as he
couldn't give it, he was committed to the
tender mercies of the jailor of tho Coun?

Holt Week.?This week is known as
Holy Week, in commemoration of the
last days in tho lifo of Christ. In.tbe
Episcopal ceremonies there is no "special
solemnizition of the Holy Week, with
Jhe exception of Good Friday. In the
Catholic churches, tho week is observed
with great solemnity.
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings, tho office of the -Tenebim
(darkness) is chanted. During the ser?
vice a large candle-stick, supporting
lights arranged in the form of a triangle,
stands in the sanctuary. Tho lights are
one by one extinguished, as the Psalma
are chanted, until only th? upper one re?
mains, whioh is taken down aud placed
behind the altar until the olose of the
office, and then brought back. This
symbolizes Christ's burial and resurrec?
tion. The candles are extinguished one
after another, beoanse at the approach of
oor Redeemer's death the fervor of his
disciples oooled. They dispersed here
and there, wavering in faith, forgetful of
their promises, and almost all, seeking
safety in flight, abandoned their Master.
Even those that followed him to Calvary
were overwhelmed at the sight of that
fearful death, and stupefied with grief.
The bells are not rung, nor instruments
of music sounded, from the Gloria in
Excelsis in the Mass of Thursday until
the Fame timo on Saturday.
Good Friday is held sacred as the day
of the crucifixion. In the Oatholio
Choroh tho service of tho day is vory
peculiar; instead of the ordinary Mass,
it consists of what is called the Mass of
tho Presanotificd. The priests- and at?
tendants are robed in black; the kiss of
peace is omitted in detestation of the
act of Judas. A large crucifix is placed
open tbo altar, with appropriate ceremo?
nies, aud the entire ooogregration, com
rnencng with the celebrant priest and
his ministers, approach, andjupon their
knees kins the figure of the cruoiflod
Lord. When the adoration of the cross
is almost finished, tho candles upon the
altar are lighted; and after the adoration,
tho oroBS is placed again upon tho altar.
Then tho priest, with his ministers and
clergy, goes in prooession to tho pluce
where tho sacrament was put the day
before, whence bo brings it baok in the
samo order as it was carried thither.
During tbo procession is sung the hymn
rexilla regis prodeunt. After the host is
placed on tho altar the priest proceeds
with tho Mass.
To Holy Saturday belongs tho solemn
blessing of fire and of the water of the
baptismal font. From the fire blessed
on this day is lighted the Pasohal light,
which is regarded as a symbol of Christ
risen from the dead. This symbolical
light is kopt burning during the reading
of the Gospel at Mass throughpat tho
interval between Eastor and Pentecost.
According to the general acceptation,
Jvsus was crucified on Friday and rose
from tho dead Sunday, Easter, and at
his death was thirty-three years of age.
