A holiday for the masse-j means an1 eclipse of the shop wiudows aud their contents; and these are all that commonly oiiguious me tnorougu lare insensibly even to the most abstracted passeis-by. You might as well send a tourist iu search of the picturesque to go Into raptures over the sides of a railway cuttine, us expect a cockney to feel lively between a double row of birred shutters uud bolted doors. Accordingly, with the exception of children, who are happy in the simple Jact of its being a holiday, and couples keeping company who have only eyes for themselves, the general aspect of the crowds is that of people trying to bear up cheerlully tifainst a weight ot wretchedness. 1 hey feel that they have along day before them to be killed, with none of their habitual resources to kill it with. There is nothing to be done before dinner time, and nothing after that, until they have taken theli places in the queue that stretches over the dripping pavement from the theatre doors. Moreover, Christinas entertainments are contemporaneous witn Chrisimas bills, and moat people who have any ready money to spend may be assumed to nave also a certain amount of credit that they have abased, and now the day ot reckoning is at hind. Then Christmas is proverbially the time tor joviality; the tloqueut example of social superiors, the cenial enthusiasm ot purveyors of Christmas lite rature, M incite to revelry, and everything combines to suggest a drinking bout as the obvious way of filling up au interlude, aud the common boud that uuiiC9 us ail in a-brotherhood of love aud charity. Atter all, the old Scandinavian Valhalla, with its not and drink ing aud fighting, is likely always in spile of the spread ot civilization and religion, to find place iu one shape or other in our popular concep tions of ParaUiFP. In common justice to our countrymen, we have tried to extenuate the undoubted national weakues lor drinking and brawling, as being vices of our situation aud climate, and so duo ia great measure to circainbtances which we arc poweileks to control. But when we have said everything that can be said.it is extenuation, not excuse, aud we muat bo content to share aniouu us the disgrace of our CUristmas scan di als. Authority is far too lenient, while publlo opinion rather encourages than deprecates the madnets ot the carnival. What iscalied pleasure by the many Is pain and grief to a good many more, and death to not a lew. Night after night while the so-called festivities aro at their height, bauds ot vulgar drunkards, undisturbed by the police, make night hideous everywhere with iheir horrible Christinas carols coarse comic soups from the rtpertoires of tho music halls, howled out ot all time aud tune, buck wards or forwards, as lancy may suggest like the devil's vespers. Tbe more impetuous have anticipated the peneial beginning of the carnival by a couple ot nights or so, and, having prematurely run out of nieans or brain, are consigned for the preat day ol the least to the cold oblivion of the police cell. Unluckily, that happy riddance docs not materially affect the discomfort of the more peaceable public, for if some have broken down at the prologue, there are plenty of choice spirits left to play tho revels to au end as loyal subjects of the lord of misrule. If authority does i.ot absolutely ubtlicate during the aaiw naiia, yet It humors lor the time the inuoceut foibles of the people, and the police, when tlieir services are needed most, are ordered to con tin" thelr ..dnties to th1g !l,Plf-,,Bn yiiium mn'mii inu iimu- i,'uu"iiii .111.U uf tautlou that they'd better not be so bruIii.

Meanwhile, bis brother coroners were nearly as hard st work io similar cases nd we hear of teveral llltlo social parties that terminated In murde. I'relty well for the special season of peace and good-will.

An old citizen of Buffalo elves the Commercial Advertiser of that city the following reminis cences of the celebrated Indian chief Ked Jacket: 'In the sammer of 18)6 I was serving the balance of my apprenticeship with Stocking & Dart, on tbe corner or Hwan sna main streets. I boarded at Dver's Hotel, a stone building on the corner of Exchange and Main streets, where JcuD s lerrapiu Lunch is now. adouv tue time I speak o', lied Jacket, with some other Indians, Dad Deen in liullalo lor several days, sampling the 'lire water' dispensed by the various publi cans, to long n aa the spree coniinueu tnai tne red mm hnd exhausted their small sunnlv of cash, and most of them had even parte i with tneir niunaets. "I was poing back to my breakfast one morn ing we used to ro to the shop and work before breakfast in thoso days, just to give us an appe titeand was pas-dug tho silversmith s shop ol Bob , which was situated abiut where Glenny's crockery store Is now, when Bob hailed me. Ongoing juto the shop he showed me a large silver medal, and asked me what 1 thought of that. 1 asked him where he got it, and he replied: 'I bought it of an Indian la-t night lor four shillings.' He asked me if I thought it was good silver. I replied that it certainly was, and told him it was fled Jacket's medal, the one that had been placed about the neck ot the chief by General Washington himself. ' 1 hadn't much spare money in thoso days. I was obliged to clothe myself out of my salary of forty-five dollars a yar; bat I told Bob that he must neither melt nor sell the metal, and I would get the tour sh'lllngs, redeem it aud re turn it to Ked Jacket. I went down to my board ing house, toU the story to the men got six pei.ee from one, a shilling from another, and some thiew In pennies, until tho desired amount was raised, wlthlwhlch I immediately returned to Bob's, who took tho money and delivered ina the metal. After going back 'and getting my breakfast, I, instead of returning to my work, went out to bunt up Ked Jacket. In about half an hour I came across him. walking along in company with old Susie, half-squaw and half negress, in front of JakeHieboid's store on Main street. I said, 'To-gus, go-da Jacket!' (How do you do, ftiend Jacket?) He replied 'to-gus,' iu a surly tone, and appeared to hi considerably cross, i '1 then pulled the medal out of my pocket, showed it to bim, and asked him it hi kuew it. Snatching it from my hand with a very surly and emphatic 'Ugh 1' he stalked oft" with Susie, without the utterance of another syllable. I thought he might havo thauked me, at least." (This medal is now in pos-esMOu of Colonel Ely Parker, giand-nephew of lied Jacket, aud General Grant's chief of staff, and is, of course, from the associations connected with It, above all price.) ' "When Lafayette visited Buffalo in 1825," our old friend coutiuued, alter a filence of some minutes, "I belonged to the Rifle Corps, com manded, I think, by Birdseye Wilcox, which escorted Lafayette from the steamboat to the Eagle Tavern, where the reception was to take place. I happened to be stationed near the platform In lieiit of the door, on which were a number of distinguished individuals, including Lalajette, Ked Jacket, aud others. After Ked Jacket had been introduced to the illus- tiious Marquis, tho latter requested the Inter preter, Pascal P. Pratt, au uncle of our present worthy citizen of that name, who spoke tho language of the Seneca ilueutly, to inquire of Red Jacket what had become of Hie young chief who so strenuously and eloquently opposed the treaty of Fort Stanwix. When this question was repeated to Jacket, he drew himself proudly up, appeariug to me at leaBt six inches taller than he really was, and, placing hi) hand upou bis breast, replied, 'I ell bim hg stands before him.' Never iu my lite," continued our friend, ''did I see a movement of such noblo dignity and grace performed by any other man." The late Maharajah of Mysore appears to have left his affairs in a deplorable condition. An Indian paper reminds nsthat when "taken by us from a prison to administer the garden of India," the prinoe had 2,250,000 sterling in the Treasnry. This ha soon oontrived to get rid of. Twice his enormous debts were paid by the British Government. It is now ascertained that he made another accumula tion of debt during the last three years of his life of 130,000. Uia regular inoome amounted to 150,000 a year. It is to be hoped that the adopted heir will not give us quite so strong an example of "Eastern magniticenoe." MARINE TELEGItAPR.
