He had procareu his tickets for the Haguenot night, bat, de tained at the store by a customer, arrived ' home to tea late, with the whole .trouble of getting ready before him at half-past six. Gamut always had insisted upon it tha< twenty minutes was enough time for any one to get ready in; a thrUtet at Mrs. G. Scene. —A chamber. Mr. Gamut discov ered in his .undersleeves. Mrs .

No man was more amiable at the opera /Hhat,evening than Mr! Gamut, and Mrs. G. saw, by the. courteous manner in which he returned the bows of ladies, that he was disposed to follow her advice about care. The Poacher’s Dog. A dog between a bull dog and a grey hound, or between a greyhouud and a terrier, makes tho best “lurcher.” or poacher’s dog. You may generally know a poacher’s dog when you see him. He looks very sleepy in the daytime, and seems stupid for want of a good night’s rest. Moreover,he seems slyer and sub tler than other dogs. There is too much of the Jesuit about him to enable him to pass for an honest dog' and he sulkily apes the,bidding of his master with the air of one who must either do it or die. He is seldom in good spirits, and when on some rare occasion he wags his tail He does it as if he were ashamed of him self. Poacher’s dogs are employed, not for catching game, but for run ning it into the nets. They are taught toscour a field in the darkest nights, and work all the hares and rabbits towards the nets in the gateway, or on the cover sides. Sometimes they are put to watch their master’s net, and will fly at any ode who attempts to interfere with it. They never give mouth under any cir cumstances, being-too well trained to fall .into that error. A Shropshire farmer once told us, says the Argosy; somerather good stories about a poacher’s dpg* He had been trained to run away ftom his master when called to approach him, and never give mouth under any circumstances. Once upon a time this same poacher was brought before the magistrates, and the" keepers tried to identify him by his dog. The animal was brought into court as the supposed property of the poacher." This he stoutly denied. He was told to call the dog to him, which he did, and immediately the terrified dog scampered out of the court. —English Paper, Legislation in Vermont. The Vermont legislature, at its recent ses sion, changed* the distribution of the school funds, ‘by which one-third, in stead of as heretofore, will be dwided equally between the common school districts and the remainder in proportion to the average daily attend ance of scholars. A law was passed al . lowing parties in court to testify in their 9 8 half. An act was passed limiting the liability of the State banks (now bqmg closed under the operation of the pnrr^ 11 \ w8) i 0r the redemption of their «"" enc y . to the period of one year, g h fr T,^ he Plication of due P ubllc i;ti o n must continue Tn3 h J^ ye a ar - The salaries of the Judges ofthe Supreme Court were iu makinB them $2,600. e tß>rts to increase the efficiency of the militia were unavailing. - ?IL They say, a train on the New York Cen ulroad was stopped several times re by. a horse on board pulling the bell ith fcisteetk THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.—PHILADELPHIA. SATURDAY. DECEMBER I,IB66.—TJEtIFLE SHEET, Wby Industrial Partnerships Pall. Thomas Hughes writes to the Load in Times: In a speech which I made last week at a public meeting in Cambridge Hall on partnerships of Industry, I al luded to the failure of three -attempts made some years ago to establish tailors’ associations in London}- without stating the causes of those failures. I have been requested—l-should, perhaps,' say challenged—by several correspondents to give the reasons of .these old failures in the Times, and to explain, if I can, why a similar attempt, under the new name of a “Partnership of Industry,” is more likely tosucceed-now. I have no objection to accept the challenge, if you, sir, will allow the space. The first of the old, associations failed because the manager. proved *to be thoroughly incompetent and dishonest. The second failed from want of sufficient capital, and disputes--among the asso ciates. The third failed because,having been started in the ready-made or slop business, in reliance-on. .large custom ; from trades’societies and other organ ized bodies of workpeople, the custom ;was never forthcoming. So much for • the failures. As to the other side of the . question, I say a partnership of industry; . is more likely to succeed now, because— ;l- Under the Partnership- Law Amend ment act, 1865, a share of profits propor ; tioned to workdonemay be given to each person employed without giving him any voice in the management or rights as a partner, which could never be done safely till last year. 2. A far higher class of w’ork people are no ready to try the experiment. 3. Persons ex perienced in the trade and used to the management of business—of the master class, in shprt—are now willing to join, thus bringing to bear a power which the old assaeiations_could neyer command. It is impossible m any space you could" be reasonably asked for, to go further into this large question, butl can assure my correspondents that those who advo cate “partnerships of industry” are clear as to their own nieamng,and have noth ing whatever to hide, but, on the con trary, court the most searching inquiry into the principles and forms of these new associations. 1 am, sir, your obedient servant, Titos. Hughes. Lincoln’s Inn, Nov, 8, A Singular Indian Tradition. Among the Seminole Indians there is a singular tradition regarding the white man’s origin and superiority. They say that when the Great Spirit made the earth, he also made three men, all of whom were faircomplexioned; and that, after making them, he led them to the margin of asmall lake,bidding them leap in and .wash. One obeyed and came out of the water purer .and fairer "than be fore ; the second hesitated a moment, during which the water agitated by the first, had become muddled, and when he bathed he came out copper-colored; the third did not leap till the water be came black with mud, and he came out titb its own color. The Great Spirit laid, before them three packages, ana out of pity for his misfortune in color, gave the black man the first choice. He took hold of each of the packages, and having felt the weight, chose the heaviest; the copper-colored man then chose the next heaviest, leaving the white man the lightest. When the packages were opened, the first was found to contain spades, hoes, and all the implements of labor; the second, enwrapped hunting, fishing, and warlike apparatuses: the third gave the white man pens, ink and paper, the engines of the mind—the means of mutual, mental improvement the social link of humanity, the founda tion of the white man’s superiority. Civilization and Barbarism. —Oae of Herman Melville’s sailor characters extols the delights of living in Mada gascar and derides the fancied benefits of civilized life. The Mobile Tribune seems to think there is not so much dif ference between the two states of exist ence after all. He says: “Be not so vain as to think that you are any better or wiser for the suit of broadcloth on your back, or for the advantage you possess over the men of other eras in being able to telegraph or travel by railroad. You may be dressed in broadcloth, have a telegraphic message in your pocket, and a railroad ticket in your pocket book and still be as perfect a savage and black guard as if you were stripped stark naked and run through a briar patch in the Feejee Islands. There,are really as many savages in the nineteenth century as there were in the first. Catch the snobs standing this day around church doors, strip their fine clothes from them and they are no whit better than the an cient Britons or the aborigines of New Zealand. A fig for your superiority of the nineteenth century.” “The Bear and Bagged Staff.”— Hotten’s “History of Signboards,” says: The Bear and Bagged Staff is still the sign of an inn at Cumnor, to which aa historic interest is attached owing to its connection with the dark tragedy of poor Amy Bobsart, who in this very house fell a victim to that stony-hearted adventurer, Eobert Dudley, Earl of Lei cester. Sir Walter Scott has introduced the house in the first chapter of “Kenil worth.” The power the Warwick family once enjoyed gave this sign a popularity which has existed to the present day though the race of old Nevil, and the kings he made and unmade, have each ’ and all passed away. Ite heraldic desig nation has been better preserved than is the case of some other signs; only in one instance, at Lower Bridge street, Ches ter, it has been altered to the Bear and Billet. Sometimes the sign of the Bear and the Bagged Staff, we may inform the reader is jocularly spoken of as the Angel and Flute. Murder of two Lancasterians.— Jacob Zook, of this city, yesterday received a tele graphic despatch, from Vicksburg, Missis sippi, signed'by P. E Upton, statingthat bis sons, Noah H,, and Abraham H. Zook were missing, and that it is supposed that th-y have been murdered. The Messrs. Zook, with a gentleman fromr the South, whose name we did not learn, leased a plantation, 9bout twenty miles from Vicksburg, on which they were raising cotton. These two brothers had made 'the hotel, of a M-s. Upton, in Vicksburg, their headquarters, B v ll y? 6 cotton was ready to be gathered, when they*started out to the. plantation, where they intended remaining until "t** e whole crop was secured. Nothing has been heard by their friends here, frona either of these men during the last three weeks. —Since the above was in type, another da spatch has been received, which states that the body of Abraham, horribly mutilated, has been discovered, and that, though t> e whereabouts of Noah’s body is hot known, traces of the, place where he was butchered have been found.—Lancaster’ {Pa.) Express, - It is estimated that twenty-two hun dred changes iri postmasters in the North ern and Western States have occurred sinos the first of July, , A Cariosity of Telegraphy. Our London reporter, says the Leeds Mercury, sends us the following as an instance of the. many applications of telegraphy: A gentleman whom we will call Mr. iM., resident in London, is employed there to “manage the wire” for a Glas gow journal—that is ta say, he arranges the news to be sent down teach evening by the wire which that newspaper em ploys by'speeial arrangement with one of the companies.' The' principal office of that company is at the top of several flights of stairs in one of those immense buildings erected to furnish bffice ac commodation, which, abound in some I quarters of the city. After a certain hour in the evening, the telegraphic clerk who sends 63 the “copy” by wire is the sole occupantof this mansion, with the exception of the porter, who attends to the door, which, -after the hour referred to, is generally shut. This functionary, who is not often ! found .nodding, got into this abnormal ‘Homeric state a night or two ago, and so profound waahis slumber that notall the fantasies which Mr. M. performed on the door—loud enough to have awakened the Seven Sleepers, and even uder than the works ,of some of our .modern composers—could arouse him; ;at length Mr. M. was fain to desist. It was, of course, out of the question to at tract the attention of the clerk at the Toof of the establishment. Mr. M. fortunately, however,hit upon the following expedi ent for letting the porter know he was waiting for admission. He went to an adjoining telegraph station, and sent a message to the company’s office in Glas gow, requesting the clerk there to tele graph to the clerk in the London house, and instruct him to go down stairs to arouse the porter. This was -done in about twenty minutes. In that time, therefore, persons at a distance of 400 miles succeeded in awakening one who was only separated from the employer by a door, and who, even at that short distance was deaf to all persuasions. Another Revolutioner. —A recent newspaper paragraph has stated that but one Eevolutionary pensioner (whose name is 'Cook) is now living. An ex change contradicts this statement, and says there is living in Sandusky, Catta raugus county; New York, an old Revo lutionary soldier, Matthias Bakeman by name, who draws a pension from the Government. He was born in 1755, and is therefore now one hundred and eleven years old. His wife, who was one year younger than himself, died about three years ago; and his daughter, a damsel of fourscore years and more, keeps house for him. The old man enjoys remark ably good health, for one of such ad vanced years, and walks to the village, half a mile jrom his residence, every two or three days. On each Fourth of July he takes his old fowling-piece, and goes out into the fields, where he blazes away a salute in honor of Independence Day. ■EDIC&b- USESTARIN’SCONDIT’ONPOWDERS FOR HORSES AND CATTLE, Rearm Worm* Bota and Oollc.
