DU9IEBTIC OPERA.
[From ttoe-Boston Gazette J
■ The opera here again, oar friend Gamut
was thrown into edstaoy. 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 . Gamut at the•
mirror in full opera costume, having begun
to get ready at.four o’clock.
m ©. Gracious goodness, Mistress G.,
You are ready_first, I see.
■Mrs. G, (sardonically.)--
Yes, my love; to keep .you wait
ing
Would be far too aggravating.
Mr. G. Quite regardmt :that, my dear; >
I’ll be very late,; I fear.
Mrs. G. No, my pet, please hesitate,
Only women folks are late.
§ Mr. G. (rummaging in a drawer, and
a, throwing everything around in confusion.)
I will bet a silver dollar
That I haven’t got a collar.
£ Mrs. G, There’s your collar—where’s the
dollar? .
Where’s the dollar?—there’s your
• collar. >;.r
Mr.. G. (looking everywhere.) ,
Where’s my tie? oh, how pro
voking! ■'
With impatience lam choking. .
Jfrs. G. Do be gentler, Mr. G,;
Ho one frets, at home, but me.
Mr. G. Do not vex me,
- Help me find it,
m: • Where ’tis I can’t understand.
Mrs. G. What a searcher!
< 'Don’t you mind it?
, ; There, you’ve got it in your hand.
■Mr. G. My head is aching with the flurry.
' Mrs. <?! Do not worry ; do not worry.
Mr, G. Don’t sit there my misery mock
ing
Have you seen my other stocking?
Mrs, G. Ha, ha, ha! you stupid coot,
C L You’ve got them both upon one
■ foot.
: Mr, is topsy turvy—
Nobody at hand to serve me—
Leaving room for anger wild,
• Mrs. G, Do not fret yourself, my ducky,
With no worse than this you’re
lucky,—
, ; Pray to law be reconciled.
Mr. 6. Good heaven! it is half-past seven,
The opera begins at eight.
What a tussel, orowd and bustle
By crinoline when one is late!
Mrs, G. What a fuss you make, my dear,
And how your nerves do shake,
my dear,
You frown and fret
And storm and sweat,
As though your bones did ache,
' i my dear.
Mr. G, Desperation seizes me,
My disappointment freezes me,
' ■ My boots are lacking
->• - AU their blacking,
My neck-tie how It squeezes mo!
And then the worstof all the fix Is
These gloves are only nuinoer
sixes.
Mrs. G, Banish your trouble,
Care is a bubble, i
Let not despair your heart
overcast; jr
I can relieve you, r
The clock doth deceive you,
’ Tis j ust a half an hour too fast.
Mr. Q. Thus woman comes to soothe our
sorrow,
Blessed boon to man bestowed.
Mrs, G, Do not care and trouble borrow,
Soon enough will come the
load.
Mrs. G. } There ’ s the carriage.
Trundle Bed Chorus—Boys' voices, next
chamber.
Isn’t it jolly? hi for fun,
Up and at ’em! touch and run;
Now about the chamber spring,
. Mother’s shawl shall make a swing:
• Who shall question what we’re at?
Kate be blowed and hang the cat!
Thus around, around we go,
Nobody to say us no.
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

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, -

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.

These wheels are designed tor Pianos, Bedsteads, Ac.
111 V R lTe 10 Ftonoa a greatly Increased
force Of sound, without detracting from the harmoni
ana melody of the Instrument, rendering every not#
more distinct to the ear. This is so apparent that they
are now being applied by many to these valuable mo
weal Dr. valentine Mott, previous to hi?
death, pronounced the Glass Castor an in
valuable invention for bedfast invalids, who art
guarded against the damp floors after undergoing the
process of cleaning, or where dampness is produce-..
firem any other cause. Aside from this. Housekeeper*
are*reHeved from the dread of having their carpetacm
ortom, as frequently happensfronTthose now In use
by a rust, which adheres with glne-llk*
tenacity. No such annoyance can possibly proceed
from the Glass Castor wheels, as we all stow that
glass la non-corrosive. There are no rough or unfli.
i .1? edges to the Glass Wheels, such as we often fi or
id those of Iron, and the latter, though smoothly flu
tshed, will soon rust, from the dampness of the atmo
phere, if nothing else, producing roughness on thesu,*
face, or edge, while the former will always maintau
• tbeßmootbness of glass, just as they are finished.
By Bleeping upon glass wheels you retain all the ele*r
tnclty yen bad In your body on retiring, and you ge*
up in the morning feeling as fresh and active as *
young man. Glass being a non-conductor, the eleo
tnclty gained while In bed cannot pass oft Aair yonr
doctor what he thinks of the Glass Castor Wheels
Ask him if all diseases, with the exception of chronk
diseases, are not caused from the want of electricity
we have a man In our place whom the doctors pr<>
nounced past curing, with the Inflammatory rheu
matism; The wheels cured him in less than
weeks. He Is to-day a stout healthy man. These art
fects which can be proven on application at our office.
