In reference to the recent fatal a3cident vom the choking of a person to whom the Urotis oxide was administered in this city, Dr. Colton has issued the following card: Bow Accident are Avoided whdc InhaHnq the ydrous Oxide Gas for the Extraction of Teeth. For the Inlormation of tho-c who have not seen our appliances for administrrinir, the nitrous oxide without danger or accident, I would say that, instead of a small cork, wcjhave always used a wooden piop (black walnut or maple), of such a size aud shape that there is no possi bility of its entering tne windpipe or oi swallow ing it. Secondly. Notches are cut iuto each end of his prop, into which the teeth fit in such a manner that car. be dislodged only by the aid ot the hand or tb rowing forward ot the head, In which case it drops out ot the mouth. Scores ot physicians and surgeons who have witnessed operations, or had them performed, at our office, will verify the statement made above: and the fact that more than 33,000 persons have inhaled th gas at our various offices, without an accident of any kind, is the best possible proof of the perfect safely of the operation as performed 8t our office. To relieve the fears of the timid, we also at tach a small cord to '.the prop, which, in case an urcident could happen, would prevent all danger. G. Q. Colton, No. 737 Walnut street, Philadelphia. CITY INTELLIGENCE. For Additional Local Items see Hdrd Page, T E CETHO F F. The Hero of I.. In it u I Received with Kaval Honor at the Navy Yard. This morning the denizens and frequenters of the Navy Yard were conscious of something about to occur out of the usual order of events. There was some buttle and considerable confu on, and a squad of men were even observed earing away the snow in front of the head uarters just within the gates. Theee prelimi aries were had with the view of extending to Admiral Tegetnoff, the chief of the Austrian Navy, and hero of the famous battle of Lissa, who is now stopping in this city, a reception In accordance with his rank and fame. The Admiral is stopping at the Continental, which place he left this morning shortly after 10 o'clock, and at a quarter before 11 his car riage was drawn up in front ot the main en trance to the Navy Yard. In the meantime the Commandant of the Yard, surrounded by his principal subordinates, had taken their stations fuse in iront of headquarters, while immediately opposite tbem was a full company of Marines of the most faultless exterior and bearing. The company ot officers comprised the fol lowing gentlemen : Commodore Thomas O. felfriage. Commaminnt of the Navy Yard; Com modore H. K. Ron'. Chief of tho Ordnance ici partmeut; Commodore Ulissou, Commandant of the League Island lron-clai Station; Captain William H. Macoomb, Executive Officer; Chief Engineer Theodore Zeller, Chief ot the Depart ment of Steam Engineering: Chief Engineer Charles Stuart, President of the Examining Board; Commander 1). Lynch, Naval Store keeper; Naval Contractor Samuel Pook: Com mander Shirk, Navigation officer; and Com mander Adams, Assistant Executive officer. The gates were then thrown open, aud the distinguished stranger was driven some dis tance into the lard, where he alighted and was received by Commodore Seltridge. The Marines presented arms, the drums beat, and the bat ttry hred an Admiral's salute. Commodore Sel Jridge then presented the Admiral to the heads ot the dxtlerent departments, alter which they Btarti'd on the tour of the Yard, previous to a Visit to League Island, for the purpose of inspect ing the iron-clads there stationed. Admiral Tegethotf is a native of the city of Trieste, aud has been in the Austrian naval service for many years, during tbe greater part of which he has been a great, favorite with the ruling powers, and has thus risen to the highest rank without haviug been engaged in any battle of consequence until his encounter with the Italian fleet off Lisa durina; the past summer. Dunne the Crimean War ho com manned the Austrian fleet in the Baltic, but found his position very much of a sinecure. The Austrian Admiral well merit his high dignities, as he is a treat pdvoeate of navtil Improvements oi all kinds, especially those with reference to the construction of iron-clad, and their substitution for the old-fashioned wooden walls. This last h the principal object of the Admiral's visit to the United States. FROM ANOTHER REPORTER. At 10'45 this morning, Admiral Tegethotf, of the Austrian navy, paid a visit to tne isavy Yard. He came in a private carriage, and was received at the entrance by a larjre company of rniarlnes with presented arms, commanded by Cuptam G. P. Houston, and Lieutenants Miller and Morgan, of the garrison. At the last roll of tbe drum, the Howitzer Butterv, under the command of Lieutenant 11. C. Cochrane, belched forth a salute of fifteen guns, which was fired with marvellous accu racy 'and terrible effect ti one might judce by the rattle of broKen glass frjin the neighboring windows. Commodore Helfridge, Commandant of the Yard and his officers thou took charge of the hero'of I6a, and proceeded to insoeet the dinerent departments, Receiving 8hip, etc. Aslwe left the Yard tbe party had adjourned to the officers' quarters to partake of the Com mandaut's hosiitaMy, and the marines were waiting to pay the final complimeuts.

THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 29, 1807. Monthly Mektixq oftijk Youno Mkh's Christian Association. Last evenlnir, the regu lar monthly meeting of this Association was held in their rooms, No. 1210 Chesnut streot. The exercises were opened by the singing of a hymn. A portion of the Scriptures was then read, and a prayer ottered by P. B. Simons, Eiq., President. After the singing of another hymn, and I he rending of the minutes of tbe previous meeting, which were adopted, Rev. J. 11. Dob bins, of Camden, was Introduced, and read an essay entitled "Books and Heading," the sub stance ot which was as follows: ESS AT Br REV. J. B. DOBBINS. The Influence of books is a remarkable fact In the history of man, and it maybe questioned whether aDy einelo cias of agencies has intlu enced the destinies of the world to a creator, if to an equal extent. Their career is silent and unostentatious, but has everywhere produced the most wonderful results. "The works ot Homer," says a standard aathor, "the 'Iliad' and 'Odyssey, 'are supposed by some to have done great injury to mangind by inspiring a love ot military glory." Alexander was said to sleep with them always on hh pillow. Ciesir's ambi tion was greatlv stimulated by the "History ot Alexander." "When he was reading this his tory," says Plutarch, "he was so much affected with it that he sat petisive tor a loug time, and at last burst out with tears." As his friends were wondering what might be the rea-on, he said, "Do you not think 1 have sufficient cause for coucern, when Alexander, at my age, reigned over so many conquered countries, audi have notone glorious achievement to boast?" And Immediately on his arrival in Spain he applied himself with great diligence to business, and having added ten new raised cohorts to the twenty he received there, he marched against the Callacrlaus and Lusita niiins.defeated them, and penetrated to the ocean, reducing nations by the way, that had not felt the Koiuan yoke."' Voltaire telis us that until near the close of his life Charles XII, of Sweden, had read nothing but "Ca-sar's Commentaries'' and the "History of Alexander." Scott says that Plutarch (whose principal heroes are Alexander, Cirsar.'and other military chieftains) was Napoleon's favorite author, upo'u the study of whom he had so modelled his opinions and habits of thoughts, that Paoli afterward prenounced him a young man of an antique cast, resembling one of the classical heroes. So wedded, indeed, was he to this oook, that he used constantly to carry it with him, richly encased, aud was ln the habit of placing It, with his sword, under his pillow. It niav, indeed, be too much to assume that the examples of those men, as preserved in history, are the sources of the great revolutions of modern Europe, or all the waste ot life and treasure resulting from the brilliant but bloody and desolating careers ot Charles XII and Napoleon I; but facts would seem to justify the conviction that they had very much to do with these results. Nicholas Lyra Anqlice, Harper about A. D. 1300, wrote short comments on the whole Bible, which are allowed to be very judicious, and in which he reprehends many of the roicn ing abuses of Popery. It is supposed (says Dr. Aitam Clarke) that from these Martin Luther borrowed much of the light which brought about the Reformation. Hence it has beea said, "If Lyra had not Harped on profanation, Luther had not planned the Reformation." It was the light which streamed forth from the Bible, thus opened to the mtnd of a Gerins.il niouk, which startled ben'ghted Europe, aud broke the chain of that system of degrading superstition by which the peoDle had oeea enslaved through a long night of unbroken darkness, aud enfranchised the nations. Aboui two hundred years aco. a plain but earnest minister, in a country town of Eugland, wrote a little book of not more than one hundred pases, and of no literary pretensions. Some three-fourths of a century afterwards this little book kindled the Hutun of reheious zeal in the heart aud life of Philip Doddridere, and resulted in the writing of another book on the same geueral subject, which was tbe means of the conversion of that embodiment of all that is pure aud elevated in our corn man humanity, William Wilberlorco, who in his turn produced a book wuich was the instru ment ot awakening Leierh Richmond, who, under the influence of this change, wrote his "Dairyman's Daughter," which bas multiplied into millions ot copies and is printed in many lauguagcs, and has been ins ruiuental in hun dreds of conversions; and to-day. not only in the chief countries and languages of Christen dom, but ia far oil "seagirt islands," may be found men offering prayer and praise to the Christians' Cod in stranae dialects, whose conversion is the direct though distant result of the little book written by Richard Baxter some two huudrd years ago. It is the glory of our ace that it inherits the intellectual treasures of all the preceding a'es. The ereat names of other times have all con tributed by their genius to enrich aud elevate vs. We live, as it were, in the very focus of the intellectual l ays of all the ages of the past. The intellect and industry of those ages have ran sacked the creut ou to lay Its treasures at our feet, and the inventive" genius and tireless activity of the present age have united the in numerable rajs of the tarstreamins glory in the mental soil of this, more fully than that ot any other country. The ex traordinary facilities for acquiring infor mation which we eujoy, associate with them corresponding obligations for their improve ment. Where iguorance is unavoidable, it may be excused; but where it results from idleness or indifference, it is a disgrace. That young roan can know little of the dignity aud unde veloped grandeur of his inL :liectual faculties who is indlderent about their cultivation. He must be utterly ignorant of the majesty of that seraph within him, who would shut himself up In the darknees ot utter lguorance, or be willing to bind himself down in debasing servitude to low andsensual pursuits. But amidst the rich luxuri ance of these intellectual topics, where evcrythiug that cau nourish and beautify our spiritual nature is scattered around us in such wonderful profusion, there is much that is not only iujurlous, but muci also which is fataihj poisonous. It is of lhj utmost consequence, therefore, that in making a selection we shoula take counsel of the wise t.ud experienced. There is u class of writers, ibe fountain of whose genius seems to have beeu poisoned; and while the sparkling stream is ocautuui anu attractive, it also carries wun it the fatal virus. To these Individuals, the pretty fable by which the Ducoess of Orleans illustrates tbe character other son, might, with litiie cuange, De appneu. "Ail tne lairies," savs the tabic, "save one had been bi.iden to- his cradle. All the go-slps had been prciue in their gilts. One hail bestowed nobiuiy. an other genius, a third beauty; the malignant elf that had not been invited came last, und, unable to reverse what ner sisters bad doue tor their favorite, mixed up a curse with every blessintr. so U:e treuitis, nooiirrv, and Oeauty ot sucti men as B ron. Shelley, Bulwer, Smo, Dickens, etc., seem uiixtd with curses. The speaker then censured Dickens very severely, givine as a reason for so dome his deiisat to ridicule evan eellcal religion. He also condemned Sue, anl said he was surorised that such books should rind their way iuto respectable families. Uyron alto received his snare; his "Don Juan" was condemned as immoral, and detrimental to society. He named these and others as th' iepretentutives of the most pernicious of tbe neutious writers, whose work, 'ike the vermin PluBiie of EffVDT. in the various torms of books. pamphlets, and periodicals, may be said almost to cover the land. Mr. Dobbins continued for some length, and concluded amidst hearty applause. Two hundred aud r.luety-one young men were elected members of the Association. A vote of thanks was tendered Dr. DobbiLS for his able, interestincr. and sutraesuve esav, After the slnirlnir of a hvunntlie benediction was pronounced, and the audience a very lurire oue departed, without doubt well satistfei with the evening entertainment.

The Corn Exciianok AsaoctATfow. The annual meeting of this organization was held this niornloar in their hall, at the 3. W. coriier of Second and Gold streets. Mr. L. G. Mytinuer was called to the chair, and Mr, Join P. Bankson appointed as Secre tnrv. The annual report was read by Joseph S. Perot, which sets forth that the Association now numbers 430 members. Of the whole num ber there have been five deaths, viz., 1. J. Evans, Samuel L. Wltmer, John A. Dousherty, George W. McKinstry, and George W. Grove. Among the items ot business transacted by the Association during the year was the adoption of a resolution urging Conercss to accent League Island as a navy yard lor the iron-clads. Also, one for aoproprlaf intr one thousand dol lars for the relief of the Portland suff- rers. Also a resolution recommending the adoption of the Cental system throughout tho Uulted Mates. Also a preamble and resolutions protesting ogain-t any further reduction of the currency by the Secretary of the Treasury. The report, in conclusion, eavs: 'The Board take pleasure ln stating that the Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, having completed the necessary preliminary arrangements, is now about to erect the iicw building designed to furnish the Association with tbe accommoda tions so urgently needed for ourdailyrneetlnff." The following repoit of Mr. J. S. Ivlns, Trea surer, tihows the very satisfactory condition of the finances of tho Association: The receipts from all sources were $18 635 17.

William Chambers is a man past the prime of li to. and who should have been able to judge from part experience toat "flonctt v is tbe best policv." But circumstances sur-l-ouudlug have strous influences. It was so in th;case. Chambers looked over his wardrobe, and found it sadly deficient iu anoearance, and t-mall in quantity. A tbousht struck him. He would go and De ;.haved. He would arise from the operation and bruh hiuisc ll. He woul 1 iiihoceutly marcrj up to another coat, lookina; especially to Its better qualities, and slowly en close his form within it; he would then march quietly out. This was a eood plan, and it was tried at a barber's shop near Fourth and Ches nut. But tne Arsnis-eyed brush-boy, ana other employes, were too sharp to allow such a cir cunitaijce to co utino'iced, and he was arresied and committed by Alderman Hurley, to answer at a further hearing. Pocket-Picking. Will.am'Lee and Mor ris Hams, two nototious characters, aged respectively twenty-three and thirty-one years, were last night, about 8 o'clock, arrested near the corner of Lighth aud Walnut streets, ou suspicion of plying one of their numerous avo cations namely, pocket-picking. They have a wide-spread reputation as belr.g adects ln that nrt. Nevertheless, the sharp eyes of' the police ferreted them out, and brought them to iustiee. Tboy were each held in $100 bail by Alderman Swilt tor a lurtner nesting, both reside in this uy, and are the most industrious and f-nerseiie workmen in their putijuiar department of business. It is suppoeu that thev will be im mediately transferred from their present base of operations to a more quiet and limited quarter. TThk iETNA i.ouu.itii Company.

SPECIAL DR8FATCH to thsj kvbnino telkorapb.) Washington, Januaty 2!t. The President to day returned to the Senate, wsth his objections, the bill ior tho admission of the State of Ne. braska Into the Union. He refers to the funda mental condition precedent suffrage 8 ball be allowed without distinction of race or color. This condition is not mentioned ln the original enabline act, was not contemplated at tbe time of its passase, was not nought by the peoplo themselves, has tot heretofore been ap plied 'to tho inhabitants of any State asking admission, and is in direct con flict with tbe Constitution adopted by the people, and declared in the preamble to be republican in its form of Government, for in that instrument the exercise of tbe elective franchise, and the right to hold office, are ex prcsbly limited to white citizens of the United Suites. Consrcs thus undertakes to authorize and compel tbe Loaislaiure to change a Consti tution which it is deel ared in the preamble has received the fanction of the people, and which by this bill is accepted, ratifieJ, and confirmed, by the Congress of the nation. The Piesident proceeds to ebow the first and third sections of I he bill exhibit yet further in congruity. "If," ne says, "Congress is satisfied that Nebraska at the present time possesses sufficient population to entitle her to lull representation in tbe councih of the nation, and that her people desire au exchange of a territorial lor a State Govern ment, good faith would seem to demand that she bhould be admitted without further require ments than those expressed ln the enabling act, with all of which, it is asserted in the preamble, her citizens Have complied."
