The performances at the theatre were suspended for three weeks, in order to re hearse the piece and to. mount it, and the ac tual outlay' was $20,000; so that loss and cost “together are estimated at $30,000. The -system of preliminary puffery was so tho roughly carried out that every seat was taken up for the first night, at prices as high aB those paid to hear Jenny Xiind in Lon don, and the first performance lasted until : 2 o’clock in the morning. The machinery, however, did not work; the critics pro nounced the piece a rehash of an old play which had been produced seventeen years before; the dialogue was course; the dances were too voluptuous even for the easy-going ; Parisians, and the manager withdrew from the field. .Napoleon’s Memory at St, Helena. — .‘A letter from St. Helena, of the 19th August, . says—“ The Emperor’s fete was celebrated hereon the 15th by a ‘Te Deum,’ in the • chapel of Longwood New House. The Vice Consul of Prance, the officers -of, all arms with their wives, and the garrissn of the island, were present at this religions ceremony, as well as Commander de Rongemont, conservator of the French, imperial domain of St. Helena, and the French sub-officers, the guardians of that celebrated spot. After the ceremony the guests assembled at a breakfast, at which Commander de Rongemont proposed toasts to Napoleon HI 'and his august -dynasty, to Queen Victoria, and to the al liance between England and France. His words were received with cries of ‘ ViverU -nos Soverains ! A noire union'.’” "Almost Suffocated.— The Burlington Free Press says Mr. N. Allen ana his wife, of that city, were nearly killed Sunday night by the escape of gas from a ooal stove in the room where they were sleeping. Mr. Allen was roused by a groan from his wife, had had sufficient strengh to crawl: across the room and open a window, and the air «oon revived them, NO. 167 Mr. Cropsey’s large and magnificent pic ture of “American Woods_ in Autumn” is one of the prizes to 6 he distributed by the Crosby Opera House Art Association. It is now on exhibition, along with others of the prizes, at 1305 Chestnut street. It is cer tainly one of the best of Mr, Cropsey's ef forts, and that is high praise, for he stands in the front rank of American landscape painters. The composition is yery fine, the drawing unexceptionable. The glories of the autumnal foliage and autumnal sky are vividly portrayed, and the atmosphere is a faithful representation of what may be ob served in our forests and mountains in these October days. ■ The Bateman Concerts.— We ■ learn that the sale of tickets for the grand concerts at Musical Fund Hall is quite brisk, at Trumpler’B, Seventh and Chestnut streets. The first concert takes place on Monday evening, and the programme is of the most superb, character. Parepa, Who we have already said is probably the greatest living singer, will give some of her‘finest efforts, and the other artists will also sing exquisite airs and give oharming instrumental musio. Those who wish good seats should Becure them at as early an hour as possible. Benefits This Evening.— To-night all the theatres give benefits, as is generally the custom on Friday. At the Walnut Mr. Edwin Booth presents his claims, and he nill have a house as full as it is possible to crowd humanity together, without packing them like cotton bales. He plays Borneo, in “Borneo and Juliet,” and Fetruohid, in “The Taming of the Shrew.” At the Chest nut Mr’ John E. Owens acts in “The Two Thompsons,” “Forty Winks” and “The Live Indian.” Any one of these pieces will make one’s sides split, and all together they make up a bill of unsurpassed merriment. At the Arch Mr. D. E. Bandmann takes his farewell, playing Charles De Moor, in “The Bobbers.” He has made an excellent im pression daring this engagement, and we feel that his genius will receive a hearty re cognition to-night. At the American Miss Kate Fisher repeats “Mazeppa.” Signor Blitz, with his multitudinous at tractions, ventriloquial, magical and mu sical, together with the birds, makes As sembly Building a scene of enchantment nightly and on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons. The Minstrels at the Eleventh Street Opera Hjfrase never drew more fashionable honses than at present, and never presented finer bills. The Lincoln Tableaux are still ex hibited at National Hall. -The City Museum Theatre opens to morrow evening with a capital comedy company. The Human Eye.— The language of the eye is very hard to counterfeit. You can read the eyes of your companion while you talk,- whether your argument hits him, though his tongue will not confess it. There is a look by which a man shows he is going to say a good thing, and a look when he has said it. Vain and forgotten are all the fine offices of hospitality if there be no holi day in the eye. How many furtive invita tions are avewed by the eye, though dis sembled by the lips. A man comes away from a company; he has heard no important remark, but if in sympathy with the society, he is cognizant' of such a stream of life as has been flowing to him through the eye. There are eyes which give no more admis sion into them than blueberries; others are liquid and deep wells that men might fall into; and others are oppressive and devour ing, and take too much notice. There are asking and asserting eyes, eyes fall of faith —some of good and some of sinister omen. Worn out Ships.— The London Times, speaking of the wrecks on the English coast during the past year, suggests that one of the causes that so many ships go down without being afterwards heard of, is that vessels are sent to sea absolutely too old and totally unseaworthy. The article tlms con cludes: “The vitality of a ship, in spite or all the perils of the sea, is something al most incredible. The compilers of these annual records, in order to leave no facts uncertified, register the ages of the vessels wrecked, and it appears that there must be ships still doing service which have been* afloat for more than a hundred years. It seems, indeed, as if, apart from accidents, a ship might swim forever. So long as all goes smoothly no ship is too old for work; it is only at the first mishap that her length of days begins to tell. Then the catastrophe is overwhelming, for the whole structure tumbles to pieces before even the boats can be got out.” Anecdote of Baxter. — There is a tradi tional anecdote of Richard Baxter, which is supposed never to have appeared in print, but was very popularly current forty years ago in the west of England, and in the counties ■ bordering on North Wales. Richard Baxter was born at Rowtown, in Shropshire, in 1616. When he lost his wife be published, for the edification of other Eions non-conformists, a “broad sheet,” eaded “Last Words of Mrs. Baxter.” This “broadsheet,” still extant, hut very scarce, and dear to the hearts of all bibliomaniacs, had an immense sale, and the printer very shortly afterward bronght out a second ana spurious “broad sheet,” headed "More Last Words of Mrs. Baxter.” Richard Baxter, unable to endure this, then issued a small handbill, with the concise assertion, “Mrs. Baxter did not say anything else.” Female Doctors. —A young woman in Paris having honorably passed two exami nations in mixed sciences, has been autho rized by the Minister of Public Instruction to go through a course of medicine at Al giers, as her medical attendance might he of great service to the Arab population, and through her the boon of medical science might penetrate the tent and harem of the Arab, where no male doctor would ever be admitted. Lately, another lady has passed her examination as midwife, and has ob tained permission to offer herself as a candi date for examination at Paris for the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Murder in Virginia.— A difficulty oc curred at Oak Hall, Fauquier county, Va., on Monday, between James F. Jones and M. Buckner Bayly, which resulted in the death of the former. Mr. Jones charged Mr. Bayly with piloting Yankees to his (Jones’s) house during the war. A scuffle ensued, and Bayly retreated into his store hut immediately returned with a pistol whioh he fired at Jones, the ball entering the neck of the latter, and ranging down ward, causing his death in a few hours. . Bayly fled, and has not been arrested. Mr. Jones leaves a wife and nine children, Cropsey’s Woods in Antonin. AMUSEMENTS. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19.1866 MEXICO. Another Startling Rumor—Treaty Be tween France and the United States Concerning Mexico—The United States- to Assume the Protectorate over the Republic. ; A Washington despatch to the’Bbston Journal says: , Mexican affairs are assuming a definite shape, and information- of the nighest im portance on that snbjeot will be made pub lic in a day or:two. Treaties have been agreed npon, and are now under procass of exchange. The French- troops and Max imilian withdraw this year from Mexico; TheUnitetl States assume the protectorate claims. In conaidferation 11 Mexico cedes to the United States the peninsula of Lower California, and other territory south of onr present southwest boundary. Embarkation of French Troops Counter mandedy&c. Our dates from the city of Mexico, by’way of Havana, are np to the 6th inst. The French regiments about to embark from Vera Cruz had been ordered to re main. Conjecture was rife as to the causes oi this change, as intelligence had not been received in regard to the new arrangements of Napoleon lIL The JEstafeite of the 29th warns the Mexicans that the evacua tion will unquestionably take place at the time agreed on with the United States, al though a change may be made so as to have the expeditionary corps leave in one body instead of three detachments. Guerilla bands of Liberals were increasing and bad even entered the Valley of Mexico. Apam, a town on the railroad from Mexico to Puebla, had been plundered by one of these bands; among the principal sufferers was Mr. James Smith, a well known Ame rican citizen. It is stated that a large Im perialist force will Boon commence active operations to clear the valley of those bands, A Belgian force, under Col. Van der Smissen, bad been roughly handled near Tula by the Liberals, and in Tenango and Zongolica small pronnnriamentos against had occurred. Except some indecisive movements in Sonora, no other military events of interest are re ported. The programme of the new Lares Minis try had been published; it is what in Mex ican politics is called moderado or conserva tive. The most noticeable features-in it are the policy of arranging a concordat with Borne to Bettle the vexed question of church property, and of permitting ecclesiastical corporations to hold real estate. Of the Imperialist journals, all except the JEstafetie give the new ministry a warm support. This journal, the special organ of the _ French intervention, does the Lares Cabinet all the injury it can by sarcastic comments, and indirect attacks. The Era asserts that the postponement of the departure of the French troops from Mexico shows that the French Government has not yet abandoned the Empire. A deputation of the Commune of Mata moras had arrived at the capital, begging the Imperial Government to take possession of that city;-that a large number of troops was not necessary, as the whole population would arise in favor of the empire. The Estafette reports the capture of Assam by 1,200 Liberals. Private letters, dated Monterey, Sept. 27, from Major-General Lew Wallace, have been received by prominent merchants in this city. The Liberals were very confi dent of success, and were continually re ceiving munitions of War, and as they ad vanced were obtaining the necessary funds for carrying on the war. At the time of writing the French were retreating instead of advancing. Movements of Gen. Tapia—The People of Hatamoras In favor of Xnarez—Carvaial Retires to Private Life. Brownsville to October 3, have also been received,'Gen. Tapia was still in the vicinity of Matamoras. tf The attempt made by Americans (who were in the ser vice of the Liberal Government) was to place Tapia in power. Canales has issued somanv “preatimos” to support his monte bank, that the merchants of Matamoras are leaving as fast as they ean get away. Tapia was in great favor 'among the merchants and all prominent citizens, and, as he is supported by Juarez,, he will doubtless be put in power. The people .were unanimously in favor of Juarez, and will stand by him to the last. Carvajal had retired to private life on his ranche. To-day Capt. Osbon, of the Mexican Navy, made a formal demand for the gunboat Chinaco, from Gen. Brown, commanding the United States forces here. The General, whohasevidently committed several serious blunders in connection with this gunboatg question, informed Capt. Osbon that he should continue to hold the Chinaco until he received instructions from higher au thority. Gen. Ford also requested that the arms should be surrendered to him, whioh was also refused. Therg can he hut little question, if Gen. Brown had released the Mexican gunboat, that Captain Osbon would have run the fire 'of the forts of Canales and joined the mili tary forces, and together they could have operated to a decided advantage. Oaptain Osbon had too much experience under Farragut in running batteries to have hesitated for an instant to run those of the usurper Canales. Yet it is not improbable that before day light dawns to-morrow, the legitimate Libe ral forces will maroh upon the city of Mata moras. A norther is blowing, and every thing seems propitious for the success of the undertaking. ; Hinajosa’s forces already hold some of the outer forts, and both parties have thrown out strong picket lines. A large guard is stationed at the ferry, and a chain of senti nels extends along the river hank from Santa Cruz down to the Casa Mata, an old casemated work near the lower landing ;place. It can’t be long before something de cisive turns up. • Brownsville, Oct, 2.—C01. T. L. Sedg wick has relieved Gen. Brown in the com mand of this sub-district. Capt. Osbon has 'made another formal de mand for the gnnboat Chinaco, hut, up to :the time of closing this letter, has received no reply. ■ The whole matter will probably be referred to Washington. Hinqjoaa, Cortirias, Flores and Ford will attack Matamoras to-morrow night, pro bably. The steamer Gen. Sheridan will probably be taken off the beach at Brazos. She went ashore on the 20th. The 9th U. S. Colored Troops left here to day for Galveston, preparatory to being mustered but, our. tthole country. wendell Phillips obi the situa tion. A despatch from Boston dated last even ing says: Wendell Phillips spoke’before an im mense audience in Tremctnt Temple »hi« evening,. He delivered his new lecture- on the “Peril of the Hour/' under the auspices of the Bay State Association. i^ # *^ ipaw ? nmeiiee^b y sayiagt tbsit although he was in no state of bodily health ■ f ddress an audience, yet he preferred a» : follow his own rule, and bring his own ex i cuse.. When he had the honor o 3 standing on that platform a year ago, he spoke without the full sympathy of the audience; and, feeling as he did so, to the effect that the plot waa already formed, the principal was already selected, the headquarters were already established, by which the South should successfully ac complish by diplomacy what she failed to accomplish by arms. They had thought him then premature, unduly suspicious, uncha ritable, and fanatie in judgment, when he • ventured to say that the Executive was not a power to be conciliated, hut an enemy to . be watched;- that he was not a friend 1 acting under a mistake, bnt that he was a foe with : a systematic and deliberate purpose to balk and betray the result of the victory. Tb-day there would be as few to doubt it as- there • were last October to believe it. Such had been the unconscious development ; of the plot at the hands- of their own leaders. He-cameto them do-day with alsubject similar in substance, which, it was his purpose to endeavor to impress upon them as a function of statesmanship. The great weakness of democracy was that the masses were impatient of results. Like-the child, they dig up the seed every, twelve hours to see whether it has- sprouted, If they connot have a thing rounded' send finished in a year of. twelve months,-, they fling it aside with the impatience of an, im mature and uncontrolled' mind. The strength of an oligarchy is in the long scent, the clear foresight; the plan selected and held through- generation after generation,disrfigardingfthe-temporal result, contemning the transient failure, like the long-breathed hound, that, aftec laughing to scorn the bluff and the chadl,' accomplishes at last, in. the fullness of time, the harvest due to a well- considered system. It should be the purpose of every individual man to evdeavor to engraft-on democracy this nature of its opposite; to hold back-oiti zenship from the immature impatience of the child;. to warn it against - that haste, which, in order to grasp something, sur renders three-quarters of- the- result of the victory. Men cry out,. “The-States must sit down together under the dome. of the Capitol; the people cannot wait; ; the masses are impatient until ail be accomplished.” I deny it. The masses, under due warning-are not impatient. They have shown that, in spite or their Isader. they could save the Republic. They have no wish to see, with premature hurry, the Union clamped to gether artificially with iron. They are ready to wait|untfl natural laws develop the power of and send'the wandering stars back into their own orbits by the laws of God and their system. Now, therefore, instead of yielding to this assumed im patience,instead of pandering to this undue haste, if it does exist, it is the duty of every teacher to give to the public his. full measure of advice, to make them aware that ours Is the time when, every month plants the seeds of centuries;, when a mis take now is the root of many tall branches of mischief centuries to come. The were to remind their fellow-citizens that this is no ordinary time of national life, but a veritable era, such, as has never been, and of which history.has no precedent. He had said lost year, speak ing on this platform, that Jefferson Davis never intended to rebel;, he never - intended to defy the flag; he never intended todesert Washington. The fatal mistake,.the-irre parable error of the Southern movement was that it lost the sure anchor of the ele ments of nationality,, and its wise men saw it in ninety days after. Thirty years-hence, I have no doubt, the evidence will be ample before eur children, that Jefferson Davis.in tended to remain in Washington, to have the power of the army and navy and the diplomacy of the country accredited to him. It was we that were to rebel. Wo have all the elements out of which a nationality-is manufactured. We have a population, by two hundred years of teaching, able to co-operate, subservient to the law, acknow ledging the rule of a majority, willing to bow to the statute, with a heart’s loyalty to the Constitution and common law,inherited from our fathers, prouder than of any other legacy of the American people; they rallied around it as the clansof Scotland did around the blood of the Stewart, or the French pea sant around the name of Napoleon. And then, after all allowance for new States, young States, and revolutionary States, we had the i element that an American, as an American, was more to us than any other man that stood on the surface of the globe. With those elements in our favor,, putting aside our superior army and navy; it would have been impossible that we should have been subdued by anything' outside of our own lines. • Our only danger was our own unwillingness io force the ?roblem which God had given us to solve, t was McClellan, riding like a nightmare in the name of five hundred years ago, that made Southern victory possible. Our dan ger to-dav is from tne same cause. The effort of the South for the last year hB3 been to.retrieve her great error in leaving Wash ington. Her purpose is in one gigantic effort as a nation to accomplish what her mistaken method in battle failed to do. She took possession , of the willful and weak tool ofthe White House for that purpose, in order that, once counted in Senate and the House of Representatives as a nation, she mightcorrectthe great false step of the rebel lion. Organized as the American people she would proceed to do what she has never surrendered the design,of doing. As long ago as last June the South planned, with the aid of the Executive, to secure gtrhat by the retreat from Washington in 9861 she failed to secure; and she has not given up the effort yet. Our children will see proof that the cunning and cowardly intellect of the Secretary or State not only planned a coup d’etat, but actually planned to revolu tionize the very form ana nature of our Go vermfient. How are we to meet the danger? Men say that we have such a unanimity among the. Northern people as no epoch ever saw before. No doubt of it. The elections which have been will be but a tame repetition of those which are to come. The Northern people, finding no thing else around which to rally will rally the almost unanimous purpose of the nation around the Republican Party. But how much does Republican success mean? How much does it guarantee to absolute and essential reconstruction? Nothing. No single man of the Republican Party dares, address his fellow-citizens without ignoring His Speech in, Boston Last £veadtag.. i Jh® Amendment entirely. What, then, is to be done? These aaen mast be sent back i te bongrese to enact, a law that wiel rea der it impossible for any Southern come back into Congress berore 1869. Congress mußt go back and sri ™ ' H »use of Representatives and govern this Republic, and exersisetbe right- Which the war has invested in it, by virtue of two-thirds of the votes of the- North, and gpvern' this Republic ;■ and 1 in ; erder to do that, thff yery first act of that House is to im peach the President of the- United States. Away with all questions af admitting that !StaSa or the other,therejecMon or acceptance of tills or the other amendment;-the object of ■the Congress of the United States-ahonld be ;to griVfem tibie Repablio. And'in-OKter to do that,the firatstep is to impeach the President of the United States, and while the trial is j going on to remove him from his office, i Impeashment is worth nothing without the jremovabof the President unthhis inDocence |is established. To have the head of the na tion, by his own avowal, the head-ofa rebel lion, in possession of the national' strength while he is tried,' is a force. It is to be hoped thisthe people will never exhibit'in therfhee of Christendom. Lefrthe Honseof' Repre sentativeeimpeach ths President and place tha President of the Senate in the office, and then we will “run the Andrew Johnson meant to betray us last January, Bnd yet the leading- minds of the Repub lican Parijnmdertook toassumethathewas mistaken, was right at‘ heart, only in error of tJw head;; that he ought to he conciliated, and trusted. Henry Wilson knew thafr.it was a lie, and’yet he let the storm -beat piti lessly for six-months. TSro ideas have been struggling, for the mastery—the North with an open Bible, the Declaration of Indepen dence, and equality of men before the law has been struggling-with the element of an intellectual South—an element that believe* that two-thirds should stand saddled and bridled for the other third to that believes in Lynch law and bowie-knives, and iu burning men at the stake. With a- President turned traitor, the legislative lorce ia to govern until he is and when he is condemned it is to-ohoose a new President, and sail under new- aus pices. Everybody knows that theideas of the Ncrthare -not possible to any Southern- State. The North cannot be recuperated without a free interchangsof those elements which constitute national life. The object of the President and the Sonth is-not-dis tinctly to restore slavery, but is to possess this ac* a national element of victory to come, If they once put themselves in the- Senate and the House they will have abun dant means to seize upon something more. Let tha South come into this council, and she can afford to make politicians richer than Stewart, of New Turk, in order to cover her purpose of acknowledging the- Southem debt. The amendment wnich puts the word “men” in She Constitution is an atrocious insult oa the nineteenth! century. At a time when the greatesfr thinkers of the century are opening their eyas to the great apestion which is just appeariognbove the horizon, the attitude of man, the Constitution of our fathers is to be clamped down to an Ignorant and partial civilization. Whose faslt is it that the flag which stands behind three hundred thou sand patriot graves and three thousand million&of dollars has no protection for-a citizen underlie folds-? Whose fault is it that James Durant cannot walk the streats of New Orleans? Not President! Johnson’s. It is Li out. .Gen. Grants. The most hu miliatingyosition on this continent to-day is occupied-by Ulysses-Grant. Have we conquerad New Orleans-?. Is it ours? Then why are not its streets safe?. Has Gen. Grant no troops? If not, why doesn’t he ask Congress? He knew--the state ofthe Southern communities, if he did not, then he has- not the sagacity and prudence-which fit him for hia office. If he knew that he did not have-the means to make the flag respected, the Senate would have given him (if he had asked) one hun dred thousand men to make the flagsafe. There is no President. He is a deserter. He has lefh He has sworn allegiance to another flag. The- legislative power is the. only effectual and organized power left. Mr. Phillips concluded his address as fol lows: I would plant the seeds of vigilance; I would never despair. Five years. ago we had a traitor in the White House who called himssif a “Public Functionary.” He has been engaged during the last yean in ex plaining to the world why his treason did not succeed. W-e have sow- a traitor.in tha While House, who calls-himself a “humble individual.” Do your duty, nothin 1869 he will be making a speech to explain why he did not succeed.

When first discovered the flames wese burning fiercely on the rear of the seoond floor, and also on the outside stairway, and, owing, to the inflammable nature of the contents, they spread with great rapidity. An alarm was at once given, but owing to some mistake signal “No. 235” was sounded, indicating Seventeenth Btreet and Avenue B. -Considerable confu sion ensued among the- firemen in conso- Suenee of this error, and thet?-arrival at le fire was necessarily delayed. These companies lying near the scene were, however, soon at work. Before an hour had elapsed a portion of the front wall fell out, and at the time a fireman stood on a ladder resting against one of the win dows. How the man escaped instant death is wonderful,but beyond a few slight bruises he sustained no serious injury. The build ing and its contents were destroyed. The first floor and a portion of the fourth were occupied by E. A. Hopkins, as a cooperage. Loss in stock, §1,500; insured for §l,OOO.

The “Ledgbb Canabd.”—As thereseems to he a disposition to prolong the disoussion in reference to "The Ledger canard,” as it is called, so far as we are concerned we shall now say finally that, having examined all the evidence, we do not find the slightest reason for charging The Ledger with unfair ness or wrong. That newspaper was im posed upon, as any newspaper may be, no matter now carefully managed. No one can accuse Mr. Childs, it seems tons, with out showing malice toward a gentleman whose good name should at least command for him courtesy and trust. In bis case the evidence is all one way, and. does notreflect upon him nor upon any one concerned in the management of his newspaper.—N. Y, yi'ilmne, 19th, F. L. EETHERSTON.

Gee.-McLaren rcade an examination of the track where the acci dent occurred, and found that the rail had been removed from the track upon the: inside of the curve, the removal of which, had caused the accident. This rail was found nee? the. middle of the track, not. battered in> the least, while-all its neigh bors showed signs of thumping and banging : from the car wheels. The spikes which had - fastened the removed rail were missing. Every indication proved that the accident was the result of malice on the part of some persons unknown. The Company are de- to- thoroughly investigate the matter, and have offered a reward of §2,000 for the apprehension of the scoundrel, be side employing a detective to--ferret out all of the circumstances of the case.

A nephew arrived-in town last night, and took his remains to Elmira to-day. A coroner’s ■inquest upon his body returned a verdict in accordance with the facts stated above; : A Counts yuan nt Tboublb.—Says the N. Y. Kmes.-Mr. Perez M. Bailer,a baker, living at Perth Amboy, yesterday related - his adventures while on a. spree in New York. Mr. Sailer arrived in the 'city on Monday, having received his week’s wages on Saturday night. On landing, he pro ceeded forthwith to Water street and took several drinks at various groceries. He then went to a dance-house and treated several girls several times, they taking’ light drinks while he indulged in liquor of a more stimulating qualfty. Next he is heard of in the private apartments of one or two different girls, and giving monev to each. Then something to- eat for himself and. the girls, .and then more drinks. Eventually he took a walk with Margaret Kelly, visiting her apartments and other places of interest in her company. He soon missed a pocket-book containing §lO, and accused Margaret of having it. She denied the assertion, and ran away from him. The individual from the country then called a policeman, gave her into his custody, and made a charge against her. Having thus performed his duty to society, he went into a. grocery, took a drink, treated some mom girls, and after taking a. drink, stowed him »elf away on some barrels for the purpose ef taking a nap after the fatigues of file day. While lying thus carelessly about, he Bays he saw the bartender ot the place, Otto Btauhaakan, “going through him,” or, in other woads, .robbing him of more money. This person he accuses of taking §27, Mr. Fuller roused himself, took a drinks and. called a policeman. The bartender was-ar rested, and the country gentleman, after taking a drink, went to the station-house and made charge No. 2, and then went and took a drink. Some more girls and some drinks- followed,, and then Mr. Fuller be came oblivions to both girls and drinks. When he recovered his senses, he found all his money had disappeared, and he had uot enough left to buy even a drink. It having been pretty clearly shown that he had money when in company with Margaret, and only enough to treat; the girlaand him self when he -Sell into the hands of Beau haaken, the gj-rl was sentenced to the Peni tentiary for six\months and the bartender was acquitted. A Good Bsstjlt oe SHE Wae.- I The Nash ville (Tenu.) P? -ess and Times says “that the corrupting prejudices against manual labor have been swept away. Private for- ’ tunes of colossal proportions, resting on slavery, have vanishea as the frost before the rising sun. Thousands of families that used to dress in purple and fine linen and fare sumptuously every day , are now thrown on their unaided procure food, raiment and shelter. Necessity haaleft open no avenue to a livelihood except manual labor. Hence the innumerable dissertations, oi the Southern newspapers on work as the only remaining meansiof recuperating the wasted wealth of the country; hence the ire-* quent exhortations to the young men to seek employment. A nearer contact with the once despised mechanical arts and muscular occupations has developed new- ideas re garding their usefulness, excellence and re spectability. A longer acquaintance with, their attractions and serviceableness will have the effect of entirely dissipating the prejudices of the Southern people against all kinds of physical vocations. When that day shall have arrived, the South will be able to enter upon such a career of prospe- . rity as never before visited its borders, and such as its greatest statesmen never con ceived as possible.” * Russian Statistics.— The St..
