A Tile of a Dow
We know a very. worthy-family residing
near Germantown that was latojy the pos
sessor of a dog that is a character.
poodle for such is his name, belongs to the poodle
species. •He is not such a poodle as lolls
about on cushions, eats custard; nestles in
ladies' laps and barks querulously and con
stantly at everything and nothing. Billy is
made of sterner stuff; and he is a perfect
canine disciple of Demosthenes in respect
to his fondnees for action, action, action!
The young men of the family afforded Billy
a fair field for the exercise of his restless
• qualities, and When he was commissioned
to do an errand he never stopped for the for
mality of opening a gate; bat he would
clear the garden fence at a bound and dash
off to do the bidding of those who sent him.
Billy would go to the store of an errand,
taking written orders for what was wanted
• and the money to pay for it, and he ' never
failed to do his errand faithfully and intel
ligently. He went to Germantown regularly
for.the evening paper, and we presume that
he would have been too sharp to have ayes
teiday's paper foisted upon him, or to have
put up with any other sheet than the Bun
nrrmt. Billy . was always on the lookout
for the interests of the family in winch he
was domiciled. When visito - is came to !the
„house he could tell with. half an eye who
were respectable and trustworthy, and he
paid no further attention to them except to
`skylark with them, if they desired it, or to
play dog tricks-for,their amusement. Bat'
. let a beggar or a sttspicious looking. indi
-;vidnal come about the place and 'ltilly was
-another dog; he made-no ,unnecessary fuss'
-about it, but tlisareellytlogge&the intruder
place' to, place with an air and a man
ner which declared almost, as plainly as
though he had said it: "I know - your tricks,
and I - Mean to keep an eye on you; so the
sooner you take yourself, off the better for
all' parties."
• Billy was of course
.tt great fitvorite with
the boys `of the neighbothood and he par
ticipated in all_their out-dooriamusements
'with the most refreshing 'vinr and spirit.
Evert in such diaorte" - as "coasting" . Billy was
foilaniost among the foremost Furnish
him with a sled, and mounting upon it he
would godown the hill merrily and when
he reached the bottom he would seize the
rope between his teeth and away he would
caper to the top of the hill to join again his
fellow coasters on another and another d -
scent to the bottom.
But Billy has become dissipated ; he has
turned "fire-sharp ;" he runs "wid der
macheen," and instead of being the denizen
of a quiet mansion, he "bunksiat the en
gine-house. Deserting his old friends, he
has been led away by the fascinations of the
fire company to which he has attached
himself, and while he maintains friendly
relations with his old friends by paying
them occasional visits, he has taken up his
permanent abode at the engine-house.
Billy has an eye to the advantages of per
sonal embellishment, and he frisks about
and wags his tail at a wonderful rate when
ever he is treated to a new collar, an oil
akin cape, a red shirt, or any other personal
ornament of a fireman cast. On such occa
sions he always dashes off to his old friends
to show them his new finery, and he makes
no secret of the pride which he feels in the
display. Within a few days he made his
gotten up in most stunning
style and evincing a corresponding degree
of the most animated delight. His firemen
cronies had developed his moustache and
eye-brOws by a judicious application of
razor and scissors; these hirsute appendages
were dyed a jetty black; his tail had re
ceived a dainty pink tint, and his long
lapping ears were of a brilliant solferino
hue. To the critical eye Billy presented as
ridiculous a figure as a lady with a gigantic
water-fall attached to the rear of her head
and with a trail of costly materials sweep=
ing up the dirt of the side walk. But Billy,
keen as he is in general, failed to appreciate
the abiurdity of his appearance and after
showing off his finery to his old friends, he
promenaded back to Germantown "as
proud as a dog with two tails." After all
there is a good deal in common between
human nature and canine nature, and Billy
is a distinguished exponent of that fact.
CITY lIIILLIFITIN.
"La coterie Carnival ."
There was not only a "sound" of
"revelry," last evening, at the Academy of
Music, but the absolute reality was expe
rienced by several thousands of "the beauty
and the chivalry" of Philadelphia. - The
concourse was drawn together in honor of
"La •Coterie Carnival," which took place
then and there, and it certainly, without
qualification, was the grandest bal masqu6
ever given in this city. The Academy was
' beautifully arranged ;or the occasion, the
den:orations were extremely tasteful,
and the musical portion of the
festlial, being under the charge of Mr. Birg
, feld and:other able conductors, it can readily
be seen that that part of the entertainment
was really superb. We could have wished
that the weather had 'been superb also, but
it was not. In fact it was direfully slushy,
and the carpet laid from the carriage-way
to the door of the Academy was decidedly
a pleasant innovation. 'Every one has
some story to tell of the difflcultiea of reach
ing Broad and Locust streets and of
the passage through the • crowd which
thronged about the door; bat once inside,the
ladies could settle their plumage with com
fort and the gentlemen could restore the
pristine polish, of their boota in the course of
a few minutes. Proceeding from the "tiring
rooms" and lookingtowards the stage, from
the balcony, the scene presented was one of
genuine splendor. The vast building showed
a sea of faces; wherever a seat could be
obtained it was occupied, from the parquet
circle to the amphitheatre, while the par
quet, which had been floored over on a le;vel
with the stage, was thronged with a con
course of hundreds of ladies and gentlemen
in the most brilliant, grotesque, odd, quaint,
outre and absurd costumes. Gold gleamed,
' • jewels flashed, bright eyes sparkled, white
shoulders looked like Pariahmarble, and
• soft voices murmured like the rippling of a
hundred , brooks in summer. To add to the
enchantment of the scene the piercing me
_ „lody . of scores of canaries, whose cages
"k - decorated the house, rang from parquet to
roof, the merry birds seeming to be intoxi
• toted with the light, the music, and the hum
. .
-of voices. - - _ ,
. is difficult to describe a ball, or any
other merely pedal entertainment, and "La
Coterie Carnival" was like others in respect
to the flirtations, the triumphs, the jea
' lonaies, the 'torments of the coatroom, dtc.,
the. :It was, however,. badly managed
in some"respects. For instance: There
should have been no confusion or tumult at
the princlpaldoor there should have been
arrangements which would have been sit's
- *factory-in the "eating department," and
more care should have been shown-in the
disposal of tickets. The bounty-jumping
and.pickpockeling fraternity still flourish
and their reprasentativea sPlNtwed "in fall
feather" at this entertainment. We Mike
the suggestion for the future, use of kiesers.
Abel ar.Risley, the thief spirits cif the ball. ;
In regard to the costumes we, have
nothing to say save ungnalified•praise. No
such dressing has been seen, within Our
recollection, in'' this city, and we doubt
whether such splendid costuming has ever
been known in the 'United States. A. mere
glance at the various dresses of prominence
would have occupied the gazer half of the
night, while hls attention would have been
in constant danger of distraction, by reason
of the other delights of the festival.
UNION TEMPORARY HOME
,FOR CHITA
DREN.—The annual meeting of the contri
butors to this institution was held .yester
day afternoon. The report of the managers
state, though the accommodations are all on
a liberal scale, and the children as healthy
and contented as could be, yet the institu
tion, from lack of means, is able to do but
a tithe of what is demanded from it. In one
single month fifty needy applicants have
had their children rejected solely through
want of funds to, provides larger building,
and they have gone away dispirited and
sorrowing, During the year 1865 sixty-live
children were admitted. - There are now in
the Home sixty-three—boys, twenty; gtrls,
forty-three. Their health has been excellent
and none have died during the past year.
In the last five years only one', child has
died in this institution.
DEATH OT AN OLD CITIZEN.—Mr. George
Ord, one of the oldest and most ~ respected
citizens of Philadelphia, died at his resin
deuce, in Front street, above Catharine; on
the 24th instant, aged eighty=four years.
Mr. Ord lived in the house in which he died
from the time of his birth, and- at, his Ide
cease the family mansion remained asi t he
knew it in his boyhood days, no change
whatever having taken place in it, nor had
any article of furniture been removed, IHe
was for a long time President of the Aca
demy of Natural Sciences, which positiori he
resigned some years ago, by reason of his
increasing age, and he was an active and
much respected member of the American
Philosophical Society, and of other scientific
and literaryassociations inthis cohntry and
abroad. ,
LARCENY OF MOLASES..—Before Alder
man, Beitler. yesterday • afternoon Jarnes
McArdle, a drayman, was charged

lasses, valued at $ll5 per hosghead, the
property of White s Brother 4k. Co., and Mc-
Bride dr, Co., Nos. 310 and 312 South Dela
ware avenue. The hogsheads were missed
on the 12th of December last, and eight of
them were recovered at a vinegar establish
ment in the lower part of the city. It was
testified to that Mr. Horans had purchaed
five hogsheads from one of the firms, but the
other eight had not been paid for. Several
draymen, under the superintendence of the
prisoner, testified that they had been
to haul the hogsheads to the estab
lishment by McArdle. The accused was
committed in default of $2,500 bail.
BOOTS AID SHOES WANTED.—There has
been very great suffering among the freed:
men in Tennessee, and other mountain dis

twenty-five acres of the best land in the
Blue-grassregion of Kentucky. The Ken

other schools of the University, will be es
tablished at "Ashland," and itis proposed

portion of the farm will be devoted to
experimental farming, as the best andmest
effectual means of securing to the students

knowledge of practical farming.
LA COTERIE BLexclux.—The grand hop
ofLa Coterie Blanche will be given at the
Academy of Music on the 7th of February

BUILDING AND. LOAN ASSOOLATIONS.-
About fourteen years ago, the introduction
of these useful institutions was met with
-many predictions of failure. The experi
ment was tried, however, with what success
is attested by the addition of more than - a
hundred houses to our city, To-day, those
who were-renters twelve and fourteen years
ago, occupy their - own houses; and would
be tenants still, but for building and loan
associations. The acquisition of real estate
is not the only advantage they afford.
- Those owning shares, and able to give
proper security, can procure capital to com
mence or enlarge business; and when the
institution winds up, the debt is paid. In
either case, the payments, being paid
monthly in small sums, are scarcely felt.
Aside from this, they answer all the pur
poses of a savings bank to those who have
no immediate use for money. We have two,
if not three associations of this kind in
Camden in operation now. The Franklin
is a continuation of the one started about
thirteen years since, which wound up its
affairs so satisfactorily, that the old share
holders immediately formed another with
the same title. It will soon complete its
third year; and although the premiums
do not come up to those of the past, the
average sales are quite encouraging. Poor
men could ask no better facilities for se
curing a home.
ATLANTIC Crrr.—Early last fall operations
were commenced at Atlantic city for build
ing a number of new and fine residences,
most of which were of the cottage style, and
for private uses. But since that time mea
sures have been taken to increase the im
provements there to
. a very large extent.
Contracts for several hotels, and upwards
of fifty private dwelling houses have already
been made, and other buildings are like
wise to be erected for various purposes. At
the corner of Atlantic and North Carolina
avenues, the Misses Lee, of the Mansion
House, have given a fine lot of ground to
the Episcopal congregation, on which a
tasteful and commodious church edifice
will be erected. Efforts are being made to
reconsolidate the city into one ward, the
permanent citizens believing such a condi
tion would better facilitate the municipal
regulations and government thereof. Alto

ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJEOP.—A num

the Raritan Delaware Bay Railroad, are

before the New i Jersey Legislature on
several occasions, but it has not yet been
authorized, and it is not likely that it will
be this winter.

Death of Frederik° Bremer.
Yesterday's European steamer reports the
death of Frederika Bremer, the. Swedish
novelist, one of the best known women of
the century. Shelves born in 1802, on the
banks of the Aura, near Abo, in Finland.
,Her family, which was , wealthy, removed
into Sweden when she' was about three
years old. She was carefully educated,
spent a year in Paris, and was afterwards a
teacher in a female seminary. in Stockholm.
In. 1642 her novel "The Neighbors" was
translated into English byMary Howitt,pub
lished in England, and immediately became
popular. Subsequently Mrs. Howitt trans
lated "The Home," "The Diary," "The H.
Family," •The President's Daughter,"
"Nina," "Brothers and Sisters," "Life in
Dalecarlia," and "The Midnight;" all. of
which were republished in America, and
widely circulated. In 18.50-M, Miss Bremer
visited America, and was very warmly
welcomed. She had previously traveled
widely on the continent of Europe and in
England. On her return from the 'United
States, she published a book made up of let
ters to her sister, entitled "Homes of the
New
.World," which appeared simul
taneously in Sweden, England.,
and America. "England in t 851," appeared
at Altona _in 1652. In 1856 she
wrote " Hortha," in 1655 " Father and
Daughter," and after a residence in the
South of Europe she published in 1860 "Two
Years in Switzerland and Italy." This was
followed by a journey to the Holy Land,
whence she returned by way of Turkey and
Greece, and in the latter country prepared
her books on the Holy Land and Turkey.
At the time of her death she was residing in
Stockholm.
Miss Bremer will be very generally re
gretted in the United States, where her
books are widely read, and where she made
many personal friends during her visit.
The most complete edition of her works was
published at Leipsic in 20 vols., from 1841 to
1553; and many of them have been trans
lated into German. French, and Dutch, as
well as into English.
