"There, now!' said a little bit of a thing, while rummaging a drawer the other day; "there, now, grau'pa has gone to heaven with out his spectacles. Won't you take 'em with you, gran ma, when you go ?" On Saturday last a chap entered an Insu rance office In this city, aud. tossing a paper on the counter, said to the clerk: "That's run out, and I want to get It renewed." As the clerk un folded the document a broad grin spread over his face, and he inquired: "Are you sure that this has run out i" "Yes," said the man ; "my wife told me it run out yesterday morning;" whereupon the clerk handed back to him his marriage ccrtilicate ! The Green Btreet M. E. Sabbath School holds an anniversary celebration on Thursday evening. Feathery flakes and beautiful snow may ound very well in poetry, but for us individu ally, give us the clean, dry footwalks, and re lective Old Sol. Lieutenant Errickson is the right man in the right place, lie has reduced tho roughs of Itonthwark and the Neck to a degree of quietude that would do justice to a first-cUos revivalist. Ail ordinance should immediately bo passed hy ConncUB, providing for the "roughing" of our slab pavements. We a few days ago saw a half-Hedged surgeon standing at Seventh and Chesnut streets, chuckling over every indi vidual who chanced to lose his or her foothold. Detective Franklin has the urbanity of a pope, the politeness of a Frenchman, aud the ictcntlveness of a "mute." The Board of Health should pay a visit to the Central Station, and inspect its sanitary con dition. The roaches are so numerous that they threaten to overrun the place. A Gross Assault upon a Ladv About dusk on Saturday a young and most respectable mar ried lady, whose husband does business on Arch street, was passing up Chesnut street on the toad to her home, on Chesnut street, a short distance above Eighteenth. When passing the corner of Eighteenth street a man whose nume . and appearance is unknown, who was standing with a crowd of corner-loungers, suddenly prang out upon the lady, threw his arms around her neck, aud held her in this manner for a moment. Tho lady was so terrified that she fainted immediately, and sunk to the ground, and so was unable to observe the face or dress of the man. She reached her home, which luckily was near at hand, but cannot tell how she did bo. It has become a daily duty to chronicle some outrage done by loafers or corner-loungers to our citizens, and it is high time that something should be done to break up the nuisance. The man in this cose had pro bably no deeper motive than the perpetration of a drunken freak, but its unpleasantness is none the less evident. The husband of the lady is very indignant, as ho may well be. If any clue could be given, the man would cer tainly receive deserved punishment. Here is a chance for our police to distinguish themselves and atone in some measure for numberless other neglected duties. Fieeb in Januart.

One of them noticing Ellis walked towards Race street, when tho latter followed. Before ho reached Maple street a whistle was sounded, anl two men rushed ont of an alley, and all three ran down Eighth street. Ellis at once drew his pis tol and fired, and one of the number fell. The officer rushed up, supposing ho was shot, but found him uninjured and apparently drnnk. He took him into custody, and had dragged him n far as Thirteenth and Race streets, when the prisoner, who gives his name an S. 8. Redding, suddenly sobered up and made a terrific on slaught on the "Knight of the Locust." The latter held on, hewever. and inarched Redding to the station house. He will have a hearing to day at the Central. It has since been ascertained that the three attempted to enter the jewelry store at Eighth and Maple streets, a window thereof having been forced open.

An individual named Godfrey Kllllon, a resident of the north ern portion of the city, yesterdny visited the classic locality of Seventh and Bainbrldgc street, for the purpose, as he expressed it, of "seeing the elephant. ' He there became ae qninted with Thomas Craig and John Whaler, whom he treated to several glasses of "poIbou whisky." All parties getting jolly, uraur. play fully landed a "feeler" on Godfrey's nose, and Whaler in a like playful manner relieved him of his pocket-book, containing 25.

Row in Ecuo Park. Echo Park, which is situated on tho Second street pike, near Nice town lane, bids fair to become notorious. Only ix few months ago a death resulted frem a row thereat, and now we are called on to chronicle a cutting match. Yesterday Charles Munich and Joseph Riotte entered the garden, and after partaking freely of beer, raited a row, during which beer glasses were plentifully used as weapons, resulting in several parties being seri ously cut. The two named were arrested and held in $1200 bail each by Alderman Heins to answer.

Mr. Cawcrou (Pa.) presented a petition, nu merously signed, from the miners of Schuylkill county anthrahite coal region of Pennsylvania, and otners. praying lor adequate legislation to protect their interests. Mr. Cameron said: Mr. President In pre senting this petition 1 wish to call the attention of Senators to the interesting region from which it comes. I call attention to the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburg in Pennsylvania as eminently illustrative oi me bcucnts uowing irom coal, as shown in creating and maintaining home manu factures aud home industry. When the com mercial interests of the country were transferred to New York, and Philadelphia lost her supre macy as the emporium of the nation, her people at onco directed their attention to the creation of the wares and fabrics which she had formerly been content to exchange, ine result is mat insteud of sinking under the withdrawal of commerce she is now the greatest manufac turing city on the continent. She has a better fed, better clothed, and better paid population than any city in this country. And she has the best housed population of any city on the globe. Second to Philadelphia in this last particular (and in tho extent of her products second to Philadelphia alone) is Pittsburg, in the western part of the State I, in part, represent. Here is the great workshop of onr iron manufactures. And here too, as in onr eastern city, the same natural wealth coal forms tho basis and foundation of her prosperity. Here is to be seen thrift, industry, intelligence, admirable schools, magnificent churches, noble charities, and freedom as near perfect as can be found anywhere. While less than half-a-dozen British corsairs were sweeping onr com merce from every sea, this city sent one continnal stream of cannon, shot, and shell yes, and heroic en to save the nation's life from the greatest danger which ever has or ever can threaten it. And while our commer cial marine sunk under its few and not very formidable assailants, this busy hive of labor and industry sent you the means of utterly destroying the mightiest armies, except our own, which ever waged war. Oar blockade was maintained alone by the coal shipped from the wharves of Philadelphia to our aval vessels at their stations. The battle of Gettysbtjrg prevented the destruction of the an thracite coal mines. It also prevented the destruction of our blockade. And that crowning victory was won because in some parts of our country productive Industry enabled us to place great armies in the field, and to supply them w ith the material of war. To-day the Inadequate protection given to It prevents universal bank ruptcy and national shame. Adequate protec tion will secure to us everything which this Government needs.

TiU NEW YORK AlONBY JMAKKKI1. From the N. T. Herald. "Wall street has within the past week afforded, ample topics for reflective minds. The Hiiddea dash towards specie payments which our finances have taken furnishes a spectacle calculated to ' make the American vainglorious of his country and Institutions. In addition to tho causes which have produced the decline of gold to 112 V there is one which has not been prominently noticed, but which has been none the less operative, and that Is the Important position which our country has taken among the nations of the globe. We are no longer a little fringe of civilization on the edge or the Atlantic, but a people of vast wualth and strength. It is only since the war that Europe has come to regard us as other than a sort of colony, energetic and enterprising, hut with out stability or stamina. But tho cable, th firers, and the stcaniNhlp have revolutionized these deas of us, and European wealth is tnmlng towards us for Investment The ocean telegraph in particular has brought the people ou both sides of the Atlantic into a community of flnanew, and the time Is not far distant when New York, London, larls, and Frankfort will be as closely united as now are New York, BoHton, Philadelphia, aud Chicago. The metropolis of America Is detained to be the metropolis of the world, and ere twenty years New York will be the centre of exchange, as London now Is. The cable, In making a connec tion between our money centres and those or Kmope, Is brlngiDg about a uniformity in the dis tribution of capital Junt as the opening of a channel between two lakes brings the water or both to the same level. Even now the moneyed operations of New York are twice as large as those of Loudon, and every circumstance indicates that our city will be the (trund t'luaruiB House for the business of th civilized world. It Is because a knowledge or us Is becoming general abroad that foreign capital la coming here, or seeking Invest ment In our Government or corporate se curities. The objection to us heretofore was. that we were a new people, without the maturity and experience of Kuropean countries, hot the three great agencies of the press, steam and tele graph are making our Institutions familiar every where. Hence our financial position U coming to a level with that of other countries. Why should Vnlted States paper money be at a discount of twenty per cent when thai of Austria, a country bankrupt for half a century, Is only nine or ten per cent below par? The offerings of money cn call loans have not been below the average of the past month, and the rate has been in most instances live to six per cent. The process of redemption by the country banks ha either been concluded or suspended, tho glut or national notes not being so remarkable of late. Soino of this absorption Is due to the greater capital re quired to carry stocks, now that their prices aro ten to twenty per cent higher than at the beginning of the year. Co-nmerolal paper is in fair request at seven to nine per cent for the choice grades." PAREPA-ROSA. SEATS FOR TUESDAY MOI1T. "MARTHA." A Proitoxnmm box "No. I" fornale.
