The number has been prepared pwtic
larly with reference to the holiday season,
and it contains a variety of very entertain
ing articles. The publishers promise that
every effort will be made to maintain the
high standing of the magazine, and a number
of valuable improvements will be introduced
during' the coming year. From Mr. David
A. Wells' paper on the "Industrial and Finan
cial Effects of the Franco-Prussian War," we
take the following paragraph on the effects of
the war on the manufacture of kid gloves:
As an example of great branches of indus
try which for the time being may be regarded
as wholly destroyed in France, that of the
manufacture of kid gloves may be particularly
isfamiil (n Thia iniinsfrv- nlthnnnh hnvin.t
Ha centre nominally 4n Paris, is reaUyd43t
i:v... 4-J 1 l 1 f V7..4l iTTI
and affords occupation to a large numbernrf
people in widely distant localities. Thus,
the skins, a large number of which are im
ported from Italy, Switzerland, and Germany,
are tanned and dressed at Besancon, Beau
vais, Luneville, and a multitude of other
places, and then sent to Paris, where the
gloves, after being cat to pattern, are distri
buted throughout the provinces to be so tired
by women, who work at their homes. It is
thus obvious that, with all means of inter
communication and transport broken up or
prevented between Paris and the provinces,
this industry must of necessity be brought to
& complete stand-still, even though the ex
port demand continues unabated, and the
price in foreign countries becomes greatly
augmented.

Froal "Folk-Life in Sweden," by A. II.
Guernsey, we take the following description
of a Swedish Christmas celebration:
Jul (Yule) is the great Swedish festival,
but it was a festival among the Scandana
vians long before the birth of our Saviour.
The origin of the name Jul is lost in the night
of ages. One explanation, which appears
the most plausible of all, is that it is simply
a corruption of the word JJjul, "wheel," and
means the annual circuit performed by the
ra; the days shortening during one half and
lengthening during the other; the point where
ibe longest night and shortest day met being
called cu-wiat, "wheel-meeting." They com
inenced their year with the longest night,
for, according to them, night, darkness, and
oold preceded daylight and warmth. This
longest night comes on the 21st of December.
Odin, who lived about a hundred years be
fore Christ, ordered - that at this season a
great eacrinoial feast should be observed,
lasting during the period when the lengthen,
ing ot the days was hardly perceptible. This
festival, called Jid-blot, continued, according
to some, until the 13th of January, according
to others, until the close of the month. As
there was only four days' difference between
Jul-mat and Christmas, when Christianity
supplanted paganism there was little ditti
oalty in making the change of time, and the
heathen Jul, retaining its own name and
some of its old observances, was transformed
into Christmas.
Preparation for the coming Jul are made
, long beforehand. While the grain is un
threshed the choicest sheaves are selected
from which to brew the Jul-ale and bake the
Jul-bread. On Jul-afton, the day before
Christmas, the cattle must be let out from
the cow-house and driven to water at an earlier
hour than common, and returned before noon;
otherwise the next harvest will be late. The
Swedish peasantry have the same antipathy
to forests which characterizes our pioneers;
all trees are carefully cut down around their
dwellings. But at Jul young pines, stripped
of their bark and lower brauches, are set oat
before the house; and as the sun goes down
a sheaf of nntbreshed grain is houted on a
pole from the house-top for the benefit of the
Bmall birds, for all creatures must have rea
son to rejoice on the day when Christ came
into the world. Meanwhile, withindoors the
women have been busy soouring and bright
ening the room and household utensils. The
best garments of the family are got out and
hung-upon the walls, for they think tht
the Jul-tire (shining upon them will pre
serve them from moths. , The servant
then proceed to the cattle-house. A mess has
been prepared, composed of the same mate
rials as the dinner of a family; a portion of
this and a bundle of the choicest forage are
J iven to each cow, with the words, "This is
nl-afton, my little one." The horses, in
addition to their forage, have a drink of ale,
in order that they may be mettlesome when
jjojcg (o i.etjns the seif morning. The
poultry are regaled with a dish of Jul-grot, a
kind of pudding of flour or rice and milk.
The very watch-dog is unchained this night,
for it would be a pity that the poor fellow
should be tied up and miserable, while every
other creature is free and happy. From the
position of the cattle angnries are drawn as
to the coming harvest. If they are lying
down, the crops will be abundant; if they are
standing, they will be scanty. If possible, a
few hairs from a newly-killed bear are put
into each crib; this, it is supposed, will act
as a preventive against the attacks of these
ferocious animals during the ensuing year.
When night has fallen the great room is
lighted up with pitch-pine torches and can
dles. Supper comes off at 10 or 11 o'clock.
A pig's head, or at least some part of a swine,
end a large loaf of bread, called Jul-boar, is
always placed on the table. This is an un
doubted relio of heathen times, for the boar
was especially dedicated to the god Frey, the
giver of light and sunshine, because it was
eaid that this animal, by turning up tlie sou
with his tusks, taught man to plough. All
the family coin and silver cups and spoons
ere placed on the table, for it is held that the
light of the Jul-fire will cause them to be
lucky and increase.
Ibe supper concludes wita a psalm, in
which all the company join. A tankard of
ale is left on the table for the delectation of
celestial visitants; this is called Angla-ol,
"angel's-ale." A plate of stirabout, a little
tobacco, and some articles of diminutive
clothing are left here and there for the 1'omte
Oubbe, or "little old man of the house," a
sort of friendly elf, upon whose good-will
much depends. He is supposed to have the
torm of a little old man not larger than a
child. The few. who profess to have seen
him describe Liia as clothed in grey home
spun, with a red night-cap and clumsy shoes.
Ilia special office is to watch around the
House ana cattle-Nheus, to Bee that every
thing is kept clean and tidy, and tuat the
anininlAare well cared for. S3 long as be re
mains with the family all goes well; but if ho
is displeased, and betakes himself elsewhere,
misfortune is sure to follow.

CRUELTY AT SfcA.
A Shocking Htory Invtint'srallon by the Mew
VurU tSoiiHNiftBiuufim
In the Park Hospital In tuts city lies a scarred and
manitled wreck of a man named John Smith, for
merly a seaman on board the Snattemuck, a vessel
pi) lug between mis port aaa uristoi, Kugiana. Tlie
poor fellow is a perfect mans of wounds and bruises
received at tlie bands of tbe second mate of tbe
vessel. Tbe suigeon in charge states tbat ih Inju
ries are euiileient to kill five ordinary men. Que cut
on tbe man's bead exi ends from the right temple
to a lolnt back of tbe ear. Tbe skin was cat oil' with
a blow of a cutlass and tbe boue laid oar, the skull
being indented by the force of the blow so tbat tre
Danniiiir was necessary. He was felled to tan duck
by the force of this Mow. While la this position he
beld up bis hand to avert further blown, when be
received eevera1 cuts on right hand and arm, the
hand being nearly severed at the wrist. Afterward
he received more severe wounds In the facn. When
we tell our readers that tbe wouudtt are suppurating
aid exuding a mass of putrescent matter, some idea
can he rained of the fearful extent of the man's In
juries. The wounds are nine in Dumber. We give
the t-ub stance, of the victim version of bis ill-treat-
mebt, which he made under oath to United States
Commissioner Beits:
M nam is John "raith : on the 9th of December list I
ahojtped on board tbe brig Bliattomack, at Mew York, tor
tlia aaid day. while off Uedlos'a Island, the sooad Ditto.
wboeenarue I have since been told is Jubn Weight, 3
engaitca in arranKing tbe anchor watch ; anxious to learn
wLeu it would be ro time o Uke a watch, I aked the
seuomi mate when 1 would have to no on ; be replied "You
will tind out," or worts to that effeut; I told him that was
do way to answer a 0111 question, when he orew hm moj
and aJanoAd me auroua th mouth, and ordered me for
ward: accordingly, I went forwurd, during tha day I
talked ireelywiib tbe other sailor abonithe assault;
tbey promiaed to see me righted when we arrived in port ;
thHtHannd mate most have heard ot our conversation : in
1 he evening be came to me, and be ami I bad some words
togeibrr; I told bun I would make bim answer for his
aauli wbrn we teaobed port; be then drew bis out n
and inflicted the wounds from which I nowsuSr; the
sailors told me tbat 1 ws inoensible for a long time ; some
01 we men on the vessel 00k my part.
A sailor named William Bishop, who witnessed
the assault, appeared ttefore Judge Dwi1qjt to-day,
and rnaoe au aniddvit substantiating tbe above
statement. John Welifht, th second mate, Is aiw
connned in Ludlow Street Jail, bishop has been
sent to tbe House of Detention as a witness. Com
missioner lietts and Judge Dowlitig are determined
to give the matter a foil lDvestlgatloD. Cases of
cruelty of ofucers toward sailors on tbe high seas
are becoming very prevalent, and it Is high time
a stop was put to the crying vil. No doubt the men
are sometimes aaoe.y and trinity of provoking con
duct toward the officers, but ibis la no excuse for
nch severe punishment aa that indicted on John
JSmilli. It Is frequently the case that oineers who
are placed In chargn or vessels are devoid of tbe
necessary attributes of humanity and judgment to
render them competent for these positions. Owners
should be careful in selecting onloers to take com
mand of their vessels, as an "ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure." -V, r. Commtfctat Aa-

The bonds are Issued at 20,OCO per mile against
the portion onlj of the Hue ful completed aud
equipped.
The greater part of the road Is already In opera
tion, and the present earnings are iargeiy In exces
of the operating expenses and Interest on the bonds.
The balance of the work necessary t establish
through connections, thereby shortening the dis
tance between St. Paul and Chicago 45 ralWs, aud 90
miles to St. Louis, Is rapidly progressing-, in time for
the movement of the coming grain crops, which, it
is estimated, will double the present income of the
road.
The established character of this road, running as
It docs through the heart of the most thickly-settled
and richest portion of the great state of Iowa, to
gether with Its present advanced condition and large
earnings, warrant us in unhesitatingly recommend
lng these bonds to Investors as, In every respect an
undoubted security. A small quantity of the Issue
only remains unsold, and when the enterprise Is
completed, which will be this fall, an Immediate ad
vance over subscription price may be looked for.
The bonds have fifty years to run, are convertible
at the option of tho holder into the stock of tbe Com
pany at par, and the payment of the prluclpal Is pro
vided for by a sinking fund. The convertibility
privilege attached to these bonds cannot fall to cause
them, at an early day, to command a market price
considerably above por. u. S. Five-twenties at pre
sent prices return only 1)4 per cent, currency inte
rest, while these bonds pay 9tf per cent, and we
regard them to be as safe and fully equal aa a security
to any Wallroad Bond Issued; and until they are
placed upon the New York Stock Exchange, the
rules of which require the road to be completed, we
obligate ourselves to rebuy at any tlrao any of these
bonds sold by us after this date at the same price as
realized by us on their sale.
All marketable securities taken in payment free of
commission and express charges.
