SAUL, KIXG OF ISX2AEL.
On a low couch, with a drapery of
rare embroidery, sat Saul, King of
Israel. Ills tail, elegant form was
bent ; his large beautiful eyes glared
wildly ; and to look into then: was to
see the tempest of a soul. At times
he would rave ; then he would mutter
strange words In low tones.
He was surrounded with wealth
and luxury. On tables carved from
the cedars of Lebanon, were salvers
of silver, exquisitely wrought, filled
with luscious fruits fig9, olives and
pomegranates and . golden . , goblets
filled with wine pressed from grapes
gathered from the vine-clad valley of
EshcoL . -liis robes and the tapestry of
the room were of the richest shades of
Lydian dye. ;
Servants stood ready to minister to
his wants. Around him were wise-
men and poets, prophets and seers.
Wise men, witn head bowed low.
whispered in a sad voice. Poets,
"with the eve In a fire-phrenry roll
ing" drank, inspiration from this wild
storm of the mind. Others gathered
glittering threads out of which . to
weave a story which would give them
a name among the "Immortal names
which were not born to die."
But what are wealth, talent, genius.
learning, to a mind not at rest?
The King of Israel was tormented
with an "evil spirit from the Lord."
A servant stepped forward, and
stood before the King and said: -
"My lord doth know that music can
drive the evil spirit from the troubled
soul. - Shall I bring hither that come
ly youth, the 3011 of Jesse;. he is a
skillful player on the harp,"
The King said .
"Bring hither David!"
' The servant soon returned, bring
ing with him "the sweet singer of Is
rael. The proud step and lofty bear
ing told that he was born to command
and not to serve. Yet he bowed be
fore the King; and the eye of young
David fell In gaze for a moment upon
him, and his quick thought knew
that, because of liis rebellious heart,
would not serve Israel's God, that
Israel's. King Avas thus afliicted. In
sweet tones he said, .
"How is it with my lord, the King,
to-day."
He then swept his fingers over the
harn-etring, and such sweet sounds
came forth and floated in the air, that
all hearts filled with rapture, and went
out after the great soul of harmony,
who "dwelleth in light unapproacha
ble" whogiveth his children on earth
vision of immortality, and fills their
heart with the melody of Heaven.
The countenance of the King
changed. For "It came to pass, when
the evil spirit from God was upon
Saul, that pavid took a harp, and
played with his hand; so Saul was
refreshed and was well, and the evil
spirit departed from him."
His eyes softened. A smile of peace
settled over his features ; and his soul,
which was tossed like a lost ship on a
stormy sea, became as quiet as the
still waters after a tempest has swept
over them. In subdued tones he said.
"David, I perceive the God of Israel
is with thee. Thou hast found favor
in my eight. I must sleep."

Fearful Condition of AtThJrs In
tbe Illinois Penitentiary
About ten days ago, a quarrel took
place between two convicts while on
their way to the quarries, with a gang
from the prison under charge of
guards, which resulted into a desperate
fight with knives. Both the combat
ants were wounded, and one of them
so severely that he died on the follow
ing day.
But the bloodiest affray yet, occur
red on last Thursday. As the Con
victs were setting down to dinner, a
quarrel occurred. between . two large
and powerful men. A few words pass
ed, when both parties drew forth
large sharp pointed knives, and a
most terrific and deadly struggle en
sued. They fought the entire length
of one of the long tables, stabbing and
striking alternately, and were not
sepe rated until they began to fail
from the loss of blood. The floor and
tables were bespattered with blood,
tond the scene was one long to be re
membered. They were both taken to
the hospital and one of them expired
in five minutes. His body exhibited
no less than half a dozen fatal stabs.
The otherjwas severely wounded but
survives yet. . An inquest was held
over the body of the dead man by
Coronor Reese, but the jury could not
agree upon the verdict. This case
will probably come before the grand
jury. ,
Such is the condition of affairs ex
isting at present in the Illinois State
Penitentiary. There is no sort of dis
cipline. The convicts are allowed freq
license to do as they please. They
knock down the guards at pleasure,
and commit murder among themselvs.
And what Is unheard in the prison
discipline, more than one half of the
convicts are armed with knives and
murderous weapons. This being the,
case, an open revoltand the murder of
scores of innocent men Is momentarily
expected- When we remember that
there are nearly twelve hundred des
perate men confined in the penitentia
ry, for crimes of various grades, and
that more than one half of them are
armed with deadly weapons, we can-
hot avoid trembling at the consequen
ces which may be momentarily ex
pected. Richmond. June 19. Gen. jnbai

Beauty and Fashion.
Of all who inhabit our globe or
Fphere; of all who have a bearing in
the world, there can scarcely be one
found who does not profess or mani
fest some desire for the possession of
that which we call personal beauty
and a desire to be f;i?hionable.
The individual who may be spoken
of its the plainest looking and uncouth
apparently, will instinctively halt and
pause for a moment in front of the
mirror, and will be seen Tapidly ad
justing the hair or fixing the dress
for something genial of personable ap
pearance. This is true of all mankind
in air ages and all countries. The
most virtuous and moral on one hand,
and the voluptuary and revealer on
the other. The mirror may be found
as universally as the Bible, and looked
into, we may say oftener.
It is said that the savages upon the
far distant islands of the South Sea
will Importune the stranger for a piece
of looking glass in which to behold
his personal beauty and fashion, and
when obtained, it will be deemed and
considered as an invaluable treasure.
But personal beauty must necessarily,
and does depend in a very great de
gree, upon the state and condition of
the skin, while artificial beauty de
pends upon fashion and mode of dress.
Tho Roman ladies were considered
handsome, but they were indebted to
the care they took of the skin, for that
transparency of complexion which
they possessed.
The Grecian mythology has repre
sented the godess of love to have
arisen from the depths of the sea, thus
it was indication that she came forth
washed ' and abluted, refreshed and
purified, and hence she was consid
ered as beautiful.
A fresh and transparent complexion
adds stupendously to the beauty of a
male or female. But how few of our
country and nation jossess this charm,
although all might become possessors
of a good complexion.
In our land king fashion reigns pre
dominant, and there seems to be a
general court of appeals in all matters
of dress and appearance, whose au
thority Is readily admitted, whose
changeful freaks are heartily ridiculed
by all, save the devotees who worship
without cessation at her shrine, and
whose fiats are lamented by the Just,
and vainly opposed by the philosophic.
'But we may pause for a moment
and ask from whence does she receive
her right to supremacy ; from what
attitude or source does she derive her
sovereignty, placing us in the hands
of thraldom and gyles servitude.
And when we contemplate lor a mo
ment the extent to which fashion has
carried us, we caunot but exclaim that
there is not a physiological law in ex-
lstanco : not a law of beauty and ex
cellency, and scarcely one of true mod
esty that has not been violated and
mlringed upon with impunity, and it
is almost impossible to adduce a shape
of deformity which has not in some
manner or other been honored by
fashion soa;. arid fashion natronaire.
Every nation! has its peculiarities
and words of operating, and so every
people have their modes of dress and
ginger-bread fix up, and it seems
more natural far one to follow the dic
tates of fashion in order to promote ar
tificial beauty than it is for one to fol
low physiological laws to promote
natural or personal beauty, and the
reason for this we cannot assign, un
less it is because it is fashionable to
do so ; and it ha3 been said that we
might as well be out of the world as
out of the fashion.
There is tiuite a contrast between
the fig leaves of the antiquarian world
and the stays and Grecian-bends of
modern times.
We have become a prey to that
which will shorten our stay upon the
earth. The ribs are flexible, and a
small amount of pressure will aug
ment or increase their curvature, and
hence lesson the size of this cavity. .
We are daily bowing In the most
object and servile bandage at the beck
of a clique of the most dishonoring
specimens of silly humanity that mod
ern civilization has ever produced
amid the fresh, moral atmosphere,
and contaminating associations of
Paris; and if we Mill follow fashion
it should come from our own plastic
hands, and not imported from Paris.
Fashion does not conhne itself to
the moral and sinful world only,
but sways iU tyrannical scepture to
a certain . extent ever the religious
world, for in the cities you will find the
free gospel penned or boxed up within
pens and cushioned seats, or proclaim
ed from a marble stand and between
beautiful and painted walls, and it
would be a sacrifice for the poor to
even venture there.
And for health and beauty we would
adopt the language of Dr. Armstrong:
"In what'ef you sweat, indulge your taster-"
Some love the manly tolls.
The teuntx some, and some tbe graceful daace;
Others more hardy range the purple heata,
Or make stubble when from Meld to field
The sounding eovies urge their labecing flight,
Kager amid the using clood to poor
The gems unnerving tbnnder, and there are
Whom still tne meaa oi ine green arcner cnanu.
Tie chooses best whose labor entertain
His vacant fancy most tbe toil yon bate.
Fatigues yoa soon and scarce improves your oeaaiy.

Tho Post gives the facts of Mr. Kay

as follows : Air. Kaymorid accompanl
ed by his daughter, went to Green
wood Cemetry yesterday afternoon,
for the purpose- of selecting a family
lot. He Intended to have the body of
one or his children, who died a few
weeks ago, removed from the vault
and re-interred. He returned to the
Times office about five, and remarked
to tne associate editors that he never
felt better In his life, except a sad feel
ing or laugue consequent upon his
long Walk through the Cemetry.

ceeded to nis residence on West 9th
street, where remained until about 9,
to recover from the fatigue of the af
ternoon Mr. Raymond left the house
about 9, remarking to members of his
family that he had an appointment to
attend a political meetintr. Ho wm
seen shortly after walking Broadway,
and one or two friends who stood in
front of Wal lack's Theatre, noticed his

he returned to his residence about 11,
and soon as he had closed the door after
him he fell heavily upon the floor.
None of the inmates of the house
heard the fall, however, having re
tired for the night. About 3 o'clock
this morning, one of his children be
came restless, and upon becoming ful
ly aroused remarked she heard some
person breathing heavily. ... The per
sons in the house were awakened.
and on descending to the hall-way,
Mr. Raymond was found extended on
the floor, entirely unconcious,
breathing heavily and apparently
with great difficulty. lie was

him beyond all medical aid. They
also declared the case to be apoplexy.
Mr. Raymond lingered In an uncon
scious state till 5 o'clock, a. m., when
he died surrounded by hl3 family. He
passed away apparently with little
pain.
I he news or his death caused much
excitement and very general regret
throughout the city. All down-town

their flags at half-mast as a mark of
respect.
The Associated Press to-day adopted
resolutions expressive of profound sor
row at the death of Mr. Raymond.
A Move to Make Judre Chase
President In 1S72.
New York, June 18. -A movement
has lecn commenced among some dis
satisfied Republicans for pressing
Salmon P. Chase for President in 1372,
and with the supposed Intention of
coalescing with the Democrats. Hugh
Hastings, or the Commercial Adver
tiser, Dudley Field, Thomas C. Mur
phy and George Opdyke are mention
ed among the parties interested, and
two or three meetings have beeri held
to arrange plans. A meeting wa3 ar
ranged for last night at the SL James
Hotel, but there were not enough
present to organize. Some who went
into the measure at first have backed
out of it, on account of its strong lean
ings towards the Tammany Democrats
and a suspicion that it was intended
to carry eonservath'c Republicans into
tne .Democratic ranxs.

duction to our broad and fertile prai
ries, and the effect it would have upon
our city.
Having spoken fifteen minutes, ho
stated that he was a much better hand
at building roads than making speech
es upon that subiect. and. In the m!d-t
of cheers, such as never before dis
turbed the qmetnesa. of this beautiful
valley of Salt Creek, the Governor
seized the shovel, which was already
loaded with sacred soil, and broke the
first earth for the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad, west of tlio
Missouri river.
Hon. Thoma3 P; licrrnatJ was next
called for, who spoke of the first rail
road, completed lo Inuianapolis, which
he witnessed ,but .seemingly a short
time since, comparing the prospects of
that great city, at that time, to those
of Lincoln at the present, and assured
us mac ere the same number of years
