The Occupation of EmprtmeianA ucenti
Homer has given us some, notion of the em
ployment of Princesses of Ills dav, one of tne
most interenting episodes in Ills immortal epic
toeing a descriptive account of the daughter of
tJlyBbes engaged with their needles. It is curious
to observe how that domestic occupation sur
vives, although 1t mole has trrea'fy changed,
und Is still oecnsionally indulged In by living
Kmpresscs and Queens, to relieve their minds
lrom the cares of state and the weariness of
Courts. Tli us, the Empress of the Kronen, tho
KmprcBs of llus-ia, and the Queens of Spain and
Bavaria, we are. told by Court newnien, beguile
their hours with the drover A Baker Hewing
Machines. The needle, as used in the old
fashioned way, is fust departing from our domi
ciles, but we have a far better substitute in these
Invaluable and cloeant machines; indeed, as
the ?iwe says: "To possess a Sewing Machine,
and to know how to tue it. is to noscss a little
mine of wealth." rail Mall Gazc'tc.

ing love or our lenow-men, purely truinuu,
Christian love, make up what the French lan
guage expresses in the significant compound
word bontiommic. How comprehensive I Like
the legal et ccetcra of Lord Coke, it is pregnant
with meaning. Je ne saia qnoi is another ot
tbene Gallic compounds that, like the cent, nidi,
Ticiot Ca'sar, or the peccavi, the punning des
patch of Lord Clyde, "I have Scinde," contains
a world of meaning. She has a certain.'? nemia
tptoi, I do not know what an indescribable
something a charm beyond words about her
expresses the Inner meaning of the expression,
as bonlimvime portrays all the aood inherent in
. the human heart, and practically exhibited in a
truly pood man's every-ilay existence in his in
tercourse with society. We hove few such men
.among us very tew, indeed. We question
whether In the whole circle ot our acquaint
ances we could place our hand upon the
shoulder of a single one, wh'le our literature is
equally barren in such characters. Only tho
brothers Cheervble of Dickens arise before un,
and these gentlemen were really actual exist
ences, and not myths of the author's imagina

The world, however, Is not without good men.
Their name, happily, i.s Legion, in all classes of
society, however high or low, as well as good
fellows who are ever moie in the majority.
What the world calls a good fellow, a jolly,
merry-hearted, rollicking, "rake-helly" sort ot a
creature, always willing todohis confrere a good
turn, spending" his money freely when he has
any, often to his own corrow he abounds
everywhere. The nationality of bcntiomme is
limited, coutiu'ug itself almot entirely to the
German and the 'pure national American ele
ment, with the former perhaps orisiuathie in its
memories of the vaterlaud, and utterly distinct
from the donnishness of the Irish character.
Hut the American is truly sni gmei'is and cosmo
politan in the perfect looseness of his expression
of this sentiment. He is a hail fellow well
met wfcereverthe sun shines, and his country's
flag flaunts its stnriy glories and auroral
blaxouery.
There are many men, however, who, for busi
ness purposes, allect this virtue, and ostenta
tiously exhibit its kindly characteristics gen
tlemen witu fair, open countenances, who never
approach you except as exemplars of the living
spirit of kindness. And how many are there of
thei-e, and every one with an ulterior object in
Tiew, his eye upon your affections ana your
purse the Sir Dudley (Deadly) Smooths of
the upper circles of society. Such, of course,
ought to be avoided; but how to do it, for there
Is invariably a fort of seint-boniwim'e, an over
flow, a very flush of ecnerosity, of soul over
soul, an apparent frankness and confidence, an
appreciation of one's merits, a desire to make
your acquaintance, to obtain your friendship,
that, "will ye, nil ye," draws the uninitiated
and unworldly into bis web, from which he
emerges a sadder and a wiser man. Out upon
ruch cattle, who put shame upon the race!
tiood-lellowhhlp is one thine, bonhommie an
other. Leieli Hunt's admirable "'Abou ben
Adhem" in modern Oriental, and the patient
Job, of the ancient, expresses the word in its
true significance.
Two Fabmeks Kobbkd and Assaulted

imt two farmers, named William and James
Smith, arrived from tli couutrv, and put up for

Water street, unconscious ot its real disre
putable character, and the foul blots on
humanity It contained.
Thev desired beds, and William Wraith was
assigned a room, and his companion James ac
commodated with a settee. William had but
just got snuely ensconced between the sheets,
when his room was entered by a number ot
men. some of whom commenced to beat him ter
ribly iu the face, cutting it very badly, while
the rest effectually cleaned his pants pockets of
about $15. James, who was lying ou the settee.
was robbed of sblio by some women, who came
lino the room and worked in unisun with the
other pnrtv of men. The farmers manased to
net out of the bouse, and made their way home
wards, aud were unable to make complaint be
cause oi their injuries,
l'psteidav. however, the police becoming cog-
nizuut of the affair, made raid on the house,
and arrested a cans of sixteen twelve men
and four women who were immediately
marched to the office of Alderman Williams,
who bouud over the two women identified as
the robbers of James Smith, named Mary AIul-
hollaud and Mary Kline, and one man Charles
Gratis who was engaged in the assault on Wil
liam Smith, to aunear at court, aud discharged
the rest on bail to keep the peace. Another

in an alley alongside ot tne snop. Ttiey nan
with them a horse and sleigh. About 3 o'clock
this morning one of the neighbors whs awakened
by the U'.'ise, and saw the horse aud hleigh, and

The dwelling part of the houe occupied by
Mr. John McCrossiu, at the northwest coruer of
Mervine and Master streets, was entered and
robbed ot StloU in money last night, between
the hours of 8 and 8 o'clock. Mr. MeCrossin
thinks they must have obtained entrance
through the second-story back window by pry
ing open a shutter, iney men went into the
front chamber on the second nour, and ran
sacked a bureau, obtaining the money in oue of
th.- drawers.

THE DAILY EVENING TELKGItAPIL rillliADKLPIIIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 18C7.
Thk Oybteb Embaboo. The luscious
bivalve la tlJl the scarcest commodity in the
maiket. The upward bound oyster fleet "till
lies off Leaeue Island, vis-a-vis with Red Dank,
frozen In, with several utifoitunate tugs that
went to their assistance. Almost all yesterday
the Ice Boat made desperate cflorte to cut tnem
out, but only succeeded in reaching the Horse
Shoe, where she is now battering away. The
peculiar character of the river at that, point the
marsh, known as Brown's Island, jattihg out
Into a sort of rotund promontory, and the
channel proper running a little out or mid-river
towards the Jersey shore, where, too, from the
narrowness of the stream tho ice becomes, as it
were, land locked between the two shores, makes
an attempt to force its way somethinglike rush
ing against a granite wall. There thev lie, and
there they will lie until Providence sends a thaw.
But theoTster fleet at our wharves Is In a still
worse cituation. Some sixty vessels are lying
at Washington, Queen, Spruce, and Noble street
wharv s, only too anxious to oscnpe from their
icy thraldom; the captains and crews standing
ou the wharves and looking wistfully out on the
icy river, fmilimr when they see a stray gull
fly ing up sti ea m, but croanlng d ismally when they
look at the crows alibiing within a few yards
of tne wharves. The river in tront, from Ken
sington to Washington street wharf, is to day
a sort of accumulated debris, so fine is the drift
ing Ice broken up by the constant passage of the
ferry-boats. Some "talk Is made of an overland
expedition to the oystermen below, with cars
and wagons, to the point where they lie, but
those who know the cost and danger, smile at
the faLcy. In the meauti me there are no oysters
in market. A single lot a bag of 600 sold
this mornlntr for $9, at Vine street ferry. There
were no others to be seen or heard of.
A Counterfeit Case. Thomas Smith
and James Marion were before Commissioner
Sergeaut this mornlntr upon the chunre ot at
tempting to pass a $50 counterfeit Treasury
note last eveuing, upon John Lomacks, at his
ptoce ot business, No. 152U Market street.
Charles Weakley sworn 1 am a police officer
of theHixtb District; about nine o'clock last
night there was a boy came to the Station House
and said Mr. Lomacks wanted an officer; I went
to his place of business on Market street, and
he showed me a $30 bill; Mr. Lomacks said he
had been out to two gentlemen to see if it was
genuine, and both declared it to be a counter
lelt; 1 then took the young men to the station-
house and searched them; they had no money;
Smith said he had received this note in a letter
from a soldier out West, who owed him $50, and
that he had been a soldier himself.
John Lomacks sworn These young men came
to my place yesterday; they tendered me a $50
bill In payment lor a coat they had purchased at
$18; I went out to see if it was - good, but it was
pronounced a counterfeit; I was out nearly ten
minutes; tne young mn made no attempt to go
away; they could have gone away had they
cnosen xo.
Defendants were held in $500 bail each for a
further hcunng at 12 o'clock on the 31st inst.
Distillery in a Dwelling House.
Before Commissioner Smith, at 12 o'clock to-day,
John aieskin ami Edward T. Maeuire were
charged with distilling in a dwelling house.
John Miller, Revenue Asrent, sworu I was
instructed by a letter from the Commissioner ot
Internal Revenue to visit the place of Mskill
& Maguire; I visted their premises, on Front
street, below Callowhill; the lower part of the
place is occupied aud used bv them as a distil
lery; at the opposite side, on Front street, there
was a tavern, and men were in there drlnkinc;
I saw no entrance ou the Water street side to
tho store on Front street.
H. L. Woolf sworu There were women cook
ing in the second story, aud they told us there
were Dens up stairs.
Defendants w ere held in $1000 bail.
Eow at A Ball. John Grujian went to
a ball at Ihirteenth and Spring Garden streets
last night. In the course of events ho lost the
check for his overcoat. Some other person
found it. and not being possessed of a coat of
his own, he went to tho person having charge of
hats and coute, and got Grugan's overcoat, and
left. When the latter found out his loss ho
naturally became very indignant, and going to
the keeper ot the coat room, he waxed wrathy,
and piteiied into that individual, aud upset him
and ins place generally. Tne consequence was
that an olticerlook tiruemn into custody, and
took him to the Station House. This morning
he had a hearing before Alderman M-issev, who
committed him to answer for aasault and b.it-
tery.

Thrown Down and His Arm Bbokkn. A litUe
fellow named Eddie Good was Indulging in the
boyish amusement of throwing snow-balls yes
terday morninir on the sidewalk betorp bis
home, No. 42(1 Garden street. It so happened
that a larger and muen older boy named Augus
tus Beck, fifteen years old, passed on the oppo
site side, and was hit, not at all seriously, bv
one ot the balls thrown by Good. Like a great
many ill-natured persons, ne ran across the
street aud roughly pushed Eddie down, thereby
causing the breaking of the letter's left arm.
He was atrested, taken before Alderman Hib-
bard, and held to appear at Court in the sum of
$;iiiu nan.

in the neighborhood ot thirteenth and Market
streets last evening about halt-past 7. Officer
Shaffer observing their movements, got assist

what they were doing. "We're doing nothing.

that was a strange way ot doing nothing, toot
them into custody. It is supposed that they are
a couple oi sneak thieves. They gave the
names ot James Painter and William Burton.
Alderman swift sent them below, iu default of
