The Hon. Charles Gibbons.
Thi Republican Convention which was in
Session at Concert Hall yesterday, pUoei
before the people as a candidate for the office
of Distrlot Attorney, the Hon. Charles Gib
bons, a gentleman of acknowledged ability
and integrity, and one who oan couamni the
hearty support of the Kpublioaua of the
city. Mr. Gibbous is a native of Wilmington,
Delaware, from which place he removed to
Philadelphia early In life. Ha became a
Btndent-aHaw in the oflLie of Charles Cuaunoey,
Esq., and was admitted to practice in the
year 1833. He soon attained a commanding
position at the bar, and in 1844 entered poli
tical life, receiving, without aolicitation on
Lis part, the Whig nomination for the State
Senate, to which body he was duly returned.
He served with great credit for three year,
the last year presiding over the body of which
Le was a member. On the dissolution of the
old Whig party Mr. Gibbons beoame an ear
nest Republican, being fully identified with
the cause of progress and justice from the
time of the Fremont campaign. In 18'JG Mr.
Gibbons accepted the Republican nomination
for Congress in the First Distriot, receiving
the hearty support c f the party.
Mr. Gibbons again comes before the people
US a candidate for a responsible offljial posi
tion, and this time, as in the past, he has
been sought by the office aud not obtained the
nomination by any personal solicitation or in
fluence. His successful career at the bar anl
In publio life, his unquestionable integrity,
and his rare accomplishments as an orator,
commend him te the support of all who
are or have ever been associated with the great
party of which he has b-eu mtde a standard
bearer. Strong in all the qualifications re
quired for the faitbul aud satisfactory execu
tion of the duties of the position to which he
Las been nominated, he will receive the oordial
and full support of the party and people, and
will contribute in no small measure to the
Bucoess of the whole ticket in the impending
contest.
The Transition in Prussia
As Pbussia is become one of the leading na
tions of the earth it is worth while to oonsider
from what small beginnings she has reaobed
her preBent great proportions. If her recent
great victories did not make noise enough in
the world, she has had what some might con
sider another advantage in Laving a novella1,
ready to exhume the most attractive parts of
her history, and to serve them np as a sort of
dessert after the beitvy and substantial part of
the repast Las been withdrawn. Our readers
will know at once tha'. we allude to the inter
minable string of romances descriptive of Prus
sian court-life, by L. Miihlbach. To persons
who are too lazy or who hive not been trained
to historical reading, historical novels may
be well enough, but for our own pirt we must
frankly oonfess that to us the real facts of
history are far more attractive than the fur'
bishings-np of the shreds and patches by
third or fourth-rate writers. Au exception
must be made in favor of a few who belong to
the rare gifted ones of this world. Sir Walter
Scott, as every one knows, could make almos'
any branch of literature interesting. To de.
Scribe historical incidents picturesquely wa
part of the genius of the man. Very few, in
deed, are they who have been able to cop
With Lim in descriptive narrative. The num
ber of successful historical novelists wou d
not occupy much space. Alfred De Vigoy,
Dumas, and Miss Evans that was (Mrs. Lswm
that is) would be the only ones to whom the
first position in this class can be assigned.
The novels of Cinq Mars, Marguerite de
Yalols, and Romola, by the writers just
named, are certainly next to Sir Walter
Scott's, superior to any historical romauoe
that we possess. Prussian history
itBelf is as strange and as interesting
as any fiction. When we oonsider that
in the time of the first Frederic the country
even around Berlin was a desert, the anoient
forests had soarcely been touched. The history
of the father of Frederic the Great alone is
more interesting than any event we oan think
of in the best works of Anion. Many years
ago there appeared a work, written in French,
purporting to be by theMargravine de Bareuth,
the favorite sister of the great Frederic ller
description of the Prussian and of some of the
smaller German courts, is amusing in the ex
treme. As we believe this work is scarce, we
Will give our readers an idea of Its general
character by a few extracts.
Among the laughable gossip of her own mar
riage, she says the fatal evening arrives, aud
she, the prinoess, wears a train forty-five feet in
length I and the spousal crown placed ou
twenty-four twisted locks of false hair 1 eaoh
thicker than her own. Her journey to her
husband's Court is thus described: She ii
overturned several times and obliged to walk
Lalf the way, as also are her attendants on the
journey. At length arriving at tha ancient
principality, the grand marshal and all the
nobility are mustered to receive her at the
bottom of the staircase, or on the rounds of
the wooden ladder which led to her apart
ments. She thus speaks of the company at
dinner: They, meaning the grand company,
all had faces she says which a child could not
look on without screaming; huge masses of
Lair on their Leads, filled with a raoe of vermin
as ancient as their pedigrees;clothed la old laced
suits that had descended throngh many gene
rations, te moat part In rags, and in no way
fitting their present wearers the greater part
of them covered with itch and their conversa
tion of oxen I Immediately after dinner they
began with the Prinoess' health in a huge
bumper, and in less than half an hoar she found
herself In the midst of thirty-four monsters so
drank that none of them oonld artioulate
"Et rendant les boyaux d tout ces disastreaux
visages." The minister preached a sermon the
following Sunday in which be gave an exaot
acoount of all the marriages that had hap
pened in the world from the days of Adam
down to the last of the patriarohs. She says
of her father-in-law that he had read but two
books, "Teleuiaque" and "Amelot'a Roman
History," and discoursed of them so tediously
that the Princess fainted from more ennui at
the very first interview; then he drank night
and day, aud, though living in poverty,
gave himself airs of the utmost
magnificence, aud went to dinner
with three flourishes of craoked trumpets. He
used to confer his little dignities in harangues
so pompous that his daughter-in-Uw at once
laughed and was ashamed of him. Of hor
triumphal entry into the city of Bareuth, she
Sftys the whole procession consisted of one
coach. She was conducted into the palace in
great state; to her apartments through a
jrg passage hung with cobwebs, and so
abominably filthy as to turn her stomach in
Lurrying through it; this opened into au ante
chamber filled with old tapestry bo torn and
faded that the figures looked like so many
ghosts. There are plenty of laughable inci
dents which it is impossible for us to Bad
space for, all which forms a singular oontrast
with the Prussia of to-day, with a population
of 30,000,000, enormous territory, a splendid
army, and, as we remarked at the outset, be
yond all dispute, one of the leading nations of
the earth.
llest aud He creation
It is a wise custom, and one fully authorized
by the necessities of the case, which leads
people generally to avoid the dust and heat
and distraction of business life, and for a few
weeks during the summer months to seek
Letilth at the sea, or the mountains, or the
country. We deem the expenditure of money
in this pursuit of rest an outlay justified by
sound reason, an investment which repays
back with interest all that is laid out. The
tide of American life is a rapid one. It is a
ceaseless rush, whirlwind, aud bubble. There
is no calm pool; there is no stagnation. A
man in active business, and among them
oan be numbered ninety-nine men out of every
hundred, finds for three hundred days of the
year a contiuually never ending struggle going
on around him. Every one is excited, every
one pushing his own interests up, and seeking
to press those of his neighbor down. If he
would bold his own he must keep battling
like those who surround him and the result is
that for five-sixths of the year, every energy is
in use, every power of the mind and soul is
kept in a full tension. If any machine com
posed of iron or steel Is drawn persistently,
witLout time being allowed for repair, it will
in a bhort tiiue breakdown. If any horse is
worked day after day, at a headlong gait,
either he becomes diseased or else he dies. In
these we oan have a paralell care in the
human frame. What iron, aud steel
and horse flesh cannot endure, cannot be en
dured by mankind. When, therefore, after a
weary stretch from September to July, the
man of business, the lawyer, clergyman, edi
tor, physician, or mechanic, is overtaken by
tLe oppression of warm weather, it is sound
policy, if he has the means, to expend it in
reoupeiatiug his energies. It is for this reason
that bo many fly from the city, and for two
weeks, if not for a longer time, devote them
selves to doing nothing. It weuld be a diffi
cult tack to estimate the proportion of the
people of our city who go away for a greater
or less time during the summer months. We
cannot but deem it a fallaoy whloh is circulated,
that comparatively few residents of the city
are unable to go for a day or so, at least, away
from the toil of every-day work. This absence
is really nothing more than the storing up ot
just so much health to be expended during
the approaching winter. Mow it is being hus
banded, then it is recklessly expended. How
many thousands of our most active citizens
would in a few years wear themselves out
were it not for this relaxation, this relieving
of the burden f Especially is this true of the
younger portion of the country. Boys who
are studying all winter, and young men
whether professional or mercantile in their
pursuits, require, not as a luxury, but as a
necessity, this relief.
We therefore deem the spirit which would
begrudge the money thus spent, a narrow and
mistaken one. Of all the expenses of the
year, none yields so abundant a return as
funds laid out for recreation and rest during
the oppressive months of summer.
Tub London Times, notwithstanding its old
sympathy for secession and Its general ap
proval of the Democratic party on aooount of
its free trade and rebellious tendencies, earn
ettly denounoes the repudiating plank in the
Democratic plat'orm, and predicts that "it
must be followed by the continued exclusion
from cilice, If not by the lasting disruption,
of the organization which is supporting Sey
monr and Blair. It will certainly be very
singular if the American people do not ad
minister a signal rebuke to the desperate parti
sans who Lave un'urled the banner of Rep a
diation aud Involution.
Thb House of Representatives yesterday
concurred in the Senate resolution fixing the
27th of July as the day of adjournment until
the third Monday in September. The vote,
however, is to be reconsidered to-day, on mo
tion of Mr. Wasbburne, who excited consider
able attention in the House yesterday by z
intimation that the condition of aflalr. in the
South was such that the passage of the bill
providing for tbe distribution of arms to the
lryal States might inoite a new civil war and
insurrection, and that there was no little dan
ger that many of tbe arms sent South would
fall into the possession of the Rebels.
Thb Representative from the First Distriot,
Hon. Samuel J. Randall, who Is famous for
r-partee, and who frequently Interrupts
speakers of the Republ'can party with brief
exolsmations and interrogatories, had a tilt
yesterday with General Butler, with the fol
lowing result:
"Mr. Butler I Am trying to give tho reasons
wr y we s liquid not adjourn, and k home.
''Mr. IUmiall-I tulnk you baa better go

The Democratic papers aie being laboriously
fumy or heavily sarcabtio upon various am
plifications of the initials of General Grant's
name. They seem to rely on the clasbical im
pieguability of that of their own candidate,
forgetting that the thing best known about
here is that:
'There nre more things In heaven and earth,
Horatio,
Thau aie dreamt of In your philosophy,"
which we don't doubt will be a self-evident
proposition even to himself before the next
Presidential election.

Tbe members of tne College corporation have
staked out tbe pround for a new dormitory
building. It will bo a lour-s ory buildmg, wita
accommodations for about 80 t ideuts, and tbe
site felecud for it is upon tbe College street side
ol the College square, and directly in front of
tbe old "soutn juidoie" dormitory buudiner.
Tbe intention now i to change tbe di-posliiou
ot tbe College buildings, h as to have tbem
lorm a bollow-square, the buildings bciug placed
mar the streets which lorm tbe sides of the
College Equflrc, instead ot running through
tbe centre of the ground, as at pteseut. Tbe
uresmt site ot tbe ' B utb College" will be
tbe site of tbe Peabody Building, aud the
east wing ot it will reacu down to College
street, and tbe west wing Kill extend back to
tbe street Art Building. The site next nortu of
the now dormitory building (s designed tor tbe
new chapel, aud other dormitory buildings will
be built as lust as possible along the College
street and Kim street MJes ot the college
square. Tbe new tbeoloeical building will be

directly opposite the fcim ttrtet Methodist

tins building are lncreaim.', an additional gift
ot $10,000 toward it having been niadt wiih'.n a
k-? days. About two-thirds of tbe expense of
tins new dormitory building, which will cost
about $00,000, will be met by gills made by
Henry Karuum, of Chicago.
Tbe general fund ol the Academical Depart
ment, the income ot which can be used tor auy
collegiate purpo e, now amounts to $350, filu, of
which $C5.17a is invested lu unproductive real

Ibis department amount to about $110,000, the
fund of whose income Is payable to students
for prizealjor scholarships amounting to about
$86,000; the library funds to $20,837, and the
funds accumulating for new buildings and other
pun Ores to about $180,000. In tbe theological
department tbere w a f encral fund of $187.C39,
a library fond of $1269, and a scholarship of
$28,800. In tbe SLetlield Scientific Scnool
there is a general fund of $02,975,
nud a library fund of $10,000, and
this school hUo receives annually Irom the
State Treasurer tbe interest on a fund of
$135,000 derived from the agricultural college
land grant of Congress. Tbe medic:il depart
ment has a general fund of $ 12,234. There are
also some other funds, small in amount, aud set
apart for some snecitlc purpose. The gift of the
college of the S'reet Art Building, and the pro
vision male by George Peubody lor tbe erection
anl maintenance ot a Museum of Natural His
tory do not add to the productive funds of the

sale of real estate, amount ug to $90,22204; aud
by an increased charge for tuition, the effect of
whicb, in larger income, has been experienced
during a portion of the last year. Tne charge
for tuition at present is $G0 a year, whicb Is still
below tbe level of similar charges in tbe higher
academies aud fccbooK But few professorsh'ns
have any endowment, and the greater part of
tbe proletsors' salaries has to be psid irotn tbe
income of the eeueial fund, leaving less than

peuFcs of tbe institution with no provision for
ordinary wants, or lor iunuer growm ana ae

THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE.
The Troubles th Kmmi Pacific
luiiwiri
There has been erlous trouble tor several
rlajs 1 not along tbe eastern t nd of the Kansas
PaciSc Kail why, on account or the distatistbo
tio'i of the ensi'neers with the withdrawal of an
engine and tbe tinpoM'ton of extra work on tne
riuiaiiiing engines. Previously live engines
pciioimpd tbe service between St. Loult and
ji lleiff n City.
W bu the lore wa reduced to four engines,
each was required to Uialc six trip' a week, in
st end oi live. Tbe engineers deiunnood there
placing of tbe tilth "enalue, and at drst tbe
matter mechanic yielded, but tbe nuperlutendent
procured engineers irom other reacts and deter
n lucd to hold out.
Tbe result Is thui described by the St. Louis
Democrat:
'Kigineers In the n Ighborbood got wind of
the matter, but a ncutly all of ibem were
'Knhbts ot tbe Foo board,' H was nece-sary to

A Strange Story of Shipwreck.
A correspondent of the Chicago Hepub ican
writes irom the Azores the. following dramatis
aecoui.t of a rect-ut feartul collision and ship
wreck in that latitude. lie says:
"My ship, the Columb a, which left Liverpool
ou tbe 23d ot April lor Ne i York, with near six
bundled souls on board, cliided, at hall-past 2
o'clock A. M. of tbe lOt'.i of My, with the
bprque Joseph Hume, twenty-one nays out from
Kingston, St. Vincent, West Indies, and bound
forLoodon. The night was thick and fogy,
the wind blowing Ireoh trom the westward, and
a heavy sea ou at tbe time, and those on board
vere ignorant ot tbe proximity or the
other vessel until it was to? late to avert the
disaster. Tbe barque, sailing across tbe course
of tbe Columbia at a right angle, struck our
ship on her port bow. The Columbia raised her
bow ai d came down 'with her cutwater on the
starboard bow ot tbe Home, carrying away the
lattei's bulwarks aud doing much otber damage
to her. Tbe Hume then recoiled to give us a
inm in the port libs with her horn, and then
qulelly drifted asieru of us.
"Ibis gladiatorial contest lasted but a few
moment!', tbe cm plains of tbe two vessels ex
changing promises to lay-to t.ll dayPgnt to see
wnai the damage might be, and at the moueut
ol tbe collision tbe sailor who was steering tbe
Hume when tbe accident happened, iumoed
aboard of us. Prom bim wo afterwards learned
tbe name ol the Hume, tbat e was bound to
London with a cargo ot iuolasses and su;ar, and
that she bad twenty souls on board besides him
self, including a woman aud child and a one
armed man as passengers, besides the captain's
wile.
'A for the original Josenh. Ilumc, for whom
tb's baroue was called, be was a Spiritualist
Irom America, who, a dozen years ago, awak
ened h ranee and the rest of Europe by his own
Eomnolency, and thcrcfoie it is not any wouder,
as the rescued tailor says, that the mate of tbe
Hume was asleep wbeu tbe accident occurred,
instead ot being on the look-out. We lay to
lor several days attr the accident, but could
6e nothu gof the Hume, and therefore con
cluded (die sunk immediately after the shock,
bi lore boats or any means of escape could be
got rendy. We in the meantime niaJe a careful
examination to find out our own damages. We
were lenking badly forward. So it was deter
iniued to endeavor to keep on our course tor
Mew York, forty-three degrees of longitude and
five ol latitude away, tor it was in longitude
31 -JO west trom Greenwich and latitude 40, tbat
is to say about the middle of the Atlantic, that
the accident happened. Twenty-four hourx of
iaithlul effort plainly told us the Columbia was
too much crippled to make a westward passage
without repairs, and the alternative was pie
tented of post-i'olu ta'ety by tacking ship and
rail ng lor these islands, then live hundred
mileu distant, or sinking.
"l will not attempt to describe the
srtnes which happened on board the ship
during the awful momenta when our lives
seemed to bang in the balance, suspended by a
sicple hair; when the sea yawned with its sick
ening fenches as sepulchres to receive our
stiuggling bodies; and when the winds and
waves howled and roared, as if revengefully
mocking our weakness and prayers, taking a
kewineliuht in our despair, and teeling bois
terously bappy iu tauutiog us wiih all tbe liaht
things we had said of tbem. And when the
strain of imminent and tudden daucrer Was re
moved and gloomy apprehension tuok Its place,
the scene was ttill more appalling-. Kach oue
ai-kcd bis neighbor wbat be thought, to see If
he could gather hope from another's opinion.
All were quiet aud comparatively ilent, count
ing the number of miles made each day towards
Fa.val, aud praying for light favorable winds, so
tbat tbe ship might be humored. Finally, ou
Saturday morninar, by the grey dawn, the peak
ot the Island of Pieo. an island almost touching
Fajal, twelve thousand leet above the level of
the sea, was detcried, and gladdened every
heart.
We were five davs in reaching Fayal. but
finally came to anchor In the barbor of Horta,
at 0 o'clock P. M., on Saturday, the 10th of
May, in satety.
