of human professions, upon anybody.
much; but we hare a great deal of faith
in the intrant v, honesty of intention
and full and courageous earnestness ot
Gvuer.il O. O. Howard. Tue only tliiuj
that wu know of that can be urged
against him (by way of adding weight
to the suspicious that have been awak
ened concerning his manner of managing
the iff tint of the Freedman's Bureau)
that he bcloutfs to the Y. JI. C. A. Un

The popular min i saspect3, in a wicked
and uncharitable way, that t? j Young
Christiui sins in a buck parlor, priggish
sort of fashion, and does sneaking little
ins which need your father-in-law and
other unnatural members of the family
to swear yon clear of. That's what
handicaps Howard that and a good
deal of depravity and original sin belched
oat by the Copperlead press upon the
Fraedaian's Bureau. Bat while it would
be difficult for an acknowledged world
ling to feel a full sympathy for Howard'
rigid and severe religions notions, still
one cannot, in strict candor believe him
otherwise than honest ;for certainly he has
never hesitated to exhibit the best proof
of honesty and sincerity an undaucti
and undoubted personal connsge. Old
Sherman, who is too hearty a swearer to
believe in any hypocrites, has an un
shaken faith in General Howard; and
we shall be heavily disappointed if th
investigation which has just been set on
foot does not completely vindicate How
ard's rectitude of intention and purity of
purpose.
Tax Shkbift of New York city and
and county, if he be paid in fees, as we
aspect he is, hath many an inducement
to emulate the busy bee, and improve
each shining hour. When a depressed
season comes upon his office, then may
he, with much plausibility of sell-
excusing, hustle himself about amongst
the shattered and disheartened remnants
of the old Tammany Bing and earn
Well fed fee and a handy bit of mileage
ad infinitum, as it were, by bringing
those refugees under the frowning eye of
an awakened and outraged Genius of
Justice. For the Ring was of large and
wide-spread dimensions; and it is inly
needful to be known as a member there
of to be entitled to the distinguished
honor of an arrest and a Rharing of the
limits of one of his multifarious indict
ments with the chap-fallen Boss.
Tnosa whose knowledge of the noble
Bed man finds foundation in the leather
stocking tales of Finnimore, and the
glutinous philanthropy of Peter, Cooper,
have just been meetlDg together in
Peter's Institute, and there with non
combatant hands uplifted, they have
prayed that a change of heart might
come upon the wicked men who set the
untutored son of the wilderness up for a
mark as they would a ten spot of clubs,
and get him beside the " still waters,
and hornswoggle him out of his title to
the land he never cultivates. They ex
press solicitude for justice, aud reecho
the well-worn post-oratorical toast, "Let
us have peace."
Tac cams of see-saw which is going
on in Sp iin between all VTrangledont on
the one side and all the Carlists on the
other, is only equalled by the position of
the belugerants in Cuba. This is an
evident and painful case of Satan

to do." When the art of war is the
only art a people know, how can it be
expected that they will successfully

Just by way of keeping the score, for
reference. Here are tne last items rrom
from the great billiard " tournament. :
Hew York, June 3J- The tint game
in the billiard toumameut this afternoon
was played between Gamier and Daly,
and resulted as follows : Gamier, 3UU :
average, 7 31-38 ; largest run, 7 J. Daly,
227 ; average 6 5-3 ; largest run, ii.
This evening Gamier played Cyrille
Dion, defeating him by a score of MO to
148. Garni er's average vas 10 10-29,
and his largest runs war 99 and 41.
Dion's largest run was 59. This gives
Gamier the first prize. After Gamier
and Cyrille Dion's game for ihe first
prize, Daly and Cyrille Dion played for
the second prise, which was won by
Dion in thirty one innings. Dion's av
enge was 9 11 31, and Daly 's 5 94X1.
Buxiabdw is not u American game
regarding American productions from
the good old Kuow Nothing stand point.
Ainonust those who figured prominently
in the "tourn-uueut" which has jut
closed at New York only the worst piny
er was an American, Deery if even he
is. The rest are French, Irish and Ca-
nadiuis; and a man with a French
name. Gamier, came off with the first
prize, and a well known French Cana
dian. Dion, won the second oue. The
next best player (ml prob tb!y he will
oue of these days prove himself as irood
as any of them. ) is Daly, an Irishman
So that Billiards seems to be a Celtic
game or, rather, a game which com
mends itself to Celtic study and Celtic
skill. Still, it seems as if a certain de
gree and kind of naturalization or accli
matization here were needed to bring out
the practical gaming qualities of the
billiardist; for TJbassj, with all his un
equalled skill in handling the balls, (as
was Badolph who is not to be surpassed
in the graceful aud adroit wielding of the
cue.) seems lacking in the practical
play necessary to win games where great
takes are np. This, then is the best
training ground for serious billiard play
ing, though the materials which make
the players are not native here nor to
the manner born. It is said, however,
that the American people play billiards
better than any other people. They
ought to, surely, for they have the best
tables and the most extensive and mag
nificent saloons ever built to play in.
Moreover, it is not discreditable to the
strictly native population that they have
not furnished the champions of the pro
fessional arena wuereia billiards are
played. The more sturdy and masculine
national notion finds expression in the
lithe and manly exercises which distin
guish the Base Ball Player and our
young men have set this game up as con
spicuously and defiantly as John Bull has
maintained his cricketing. It is better
and more promising that our lads should
excel in an out door sport than that then-
superiority should be peculiar to an in
door game like billiards.
Whateteb Beecher may have actually
been guilty of, (and, of course one can
not be expected to be so innocently
charitable as to regard him as wholly
free from the little irregularities charged
against him) he at least comes up to the
scratch showing a good deal of resolu
tion and effective training, and smiling
meanwhile ; and if the spirit shown
herein, as follows, be not the genuine
kind of pluck which is said to be born of
what the books call mens conscia recti,
thenis it a well executed counterfeit and
of the proportions to impose upon a
confiding and unwary public. The
telegraph gives us this :

THE CKKAT EXPLOMOSI.
Farther Particular ana Incidents.
' Persous who were in the Taylor street
front of tne bank building at the time of
the nitro-glyceriue explosion on Sunday
evening, say that the sensation prodnced
was that of the north side of the building
rising and falling, the whole house rock
ing like a ship lying lengthwise in a
trough of the sea.
Our announcement of the tltnth of
John Devine, who was injured in Derby's
stable by the force of the concussion,
was premature. Devine is still alive.

si'oie, as his side and breast are crushed
in.
The remains of A. D. Davis one of
the victims of the explosion, will be
shipped to New York, Wells, Fareo 4
Co. having received a dispatch to-dny
requesting mem to lute cnar-e ot tne
body and forward it to that city for in

All of the human remains that will, in
all probability, evc-r be found, have been
taken from the ruins of the B street 1. of
the Boot building. One of the feet of
Mrs. O'Connor, one of thn feet of Mrs.
Denn and the body of Ben Mandel were
exhumed this morning. Mandel had
been bnrned to the trunk, both legs up

Coroner Holmes is holding an inquest
on the bodies of General Van Bokkelen. J.
P. Smith and A. D. Davis as we go to
press. The first witness examined was Ah
Sing, Van Bokkelen's Chinese servant
who testified that the Genera received and
bad under the table in his sitting-room
on Sunday five boxes about the size or
perhaps a little larger than candle boxes.
The monkey, he says, was generally
locked in his cage at night. He saw
bottles of liquids on the various shelves

BIOGRA PUICAL.
Died. In Belmont, Nye county, Ne
vada, June 18, 1373, Harry F. Curler, of
mountain fever.
Harry was the eldest son of Benjamin
Curler (now and for the past six years
J udge of the Fifth Judicial District Court
of Nevada) and Bhoda A. Curler, his
wile. The deceased was born in Carson
Citv, on the 4th day of June, a. d. ltftil,
and had at the time of his death just en
tered upon his thirteenth year. During
the niue weeks of his illness he received
unremitting care aud the attendance ot
the best physicians in the country, but
his sufferings were so great all felt that
death was His relief. Being possessed
of innate modesty to a remarkable degree
and of a quiet even temper, he was
thoroughly gentlemanly toward all and
universally beloved. All who knew him
mourn bis deatn as a personal toss.
During the past three years he had been
constantly at school and at the opening
hour was always in his place, in tidy ap
pearance, immediately bending to tne
duties of the day. His tasks were learn
ed ty the hardest industry, prompted by
unbounded ambition. llie progress
made during these three Tears placed him
far in advauce of most cbililieu of his
age in scholarly attainments. Never
boisterous never profane, never quarrel
some, among His schoolmates he was
always umpire aud knowu as the peace
maker. Had he uvea until the meridian
of life, his perseverance, his affability,
his ambiiiou, and his tine elocutionary
powers, added to the other qualities ot
uis mind would have placed him high in
the ranks of honor aud fame. But all
these fond hopes of parents and friends
are now blasted and nought remains but
to cherish, without forgetting, his mem
