TO AOVEBtCSEBS.
3ta order to secure 4&e insertion of ad
vertisements in tint Tegular edition, It is
absolutely necessary that they be sentto
the office before 12 o’clock, noon. The
paper must be sput to press at a particular
moment, so >tbat supplies to agents in
the country may be sent off by the earliest
trains in'the afternoon, and with our
present'large edition, we cannot delay
for advertisements or anything else. Our
friends will therefore please send their
advertisements at as early an hour in
the day as possible. Those sent after 12
o’clock are likely to be omitted.
EPITHALAIfIC.
The fair maids of New Orleans and the
Knights of the same gay city run the risk
of being “shown up” in the newspapers
in a rather conspicuous way, whenever
they commit matrimony. For the
Knights of the quill there, are the most
chivalric of chevaliers,and they publicly
extol the virtue, the beauty, and the
bravery of most of the “happy couples”
whose nuptials are advertised. For in
stance, the New Orleans Picayune , just
received, has an editorial paragraph
which—omitting the names of the bride
and groom—is as follows:
“Another gallant son of Mars—one who
was a brave Southern soldier during the late
civil war—Mr. —we observe, has sur
rendered—to woman’s charma.having been
married last Monday evening, by the Bev.
Father -, atSt. Louis Cathedral, to the
beautiful Miss ——. May happiness ever
attend the newly married pair.”
This fine figure of a metaphor, about a
gallant son of Mars surrendering, &c., is
very common and fashionable at the
Bouth since Lee’s and Johnson’s time.
But there is another form or editorial
annoupcementandcongratulation which
is also not uncommon. In the New Or
leans Times of the same date as the paper
quoted above, is a marriage announce
ment to which is appended the follow
ing touching paragraph:
“Barely has the married state revealed a
fairer prospect than sheds its radiance over
the pathway of the happy couple, whose
hymineal announcement appears above.
The worthy groom bears the seal of manly
chivalry so universally bestowed upon her
sons by the grand old Commonwealth of
Virginia, and his fair bride combines ali
those womanly graces which distinguish
the daughters of, Mississippi. May they
enjoy all the happiness of earth in each
other’s love, and in< the esteem and regard
Of their friends.”.
Following close after this is another
marriage notice, the appendix to which
seems to have been written by the same
person in the same happy state of mind.
It isas follows:
“One of the fairest daughters of Virginia,
that noblest of Commonwealths, has been
wooed and won to a Southern home by an
esteemed Orleanian, ‘native here and to the
manor born,’ adding one more link to the
invisible chain of friendship which binds
the city of Bichmond and New Orleans in
the happiest of social ties. May cloudless
skies and happy days shed their brightness
around the home of the newly wedded
pair.’!
The ecstatic writer of these notices is
very apt to repeat himself. He calls
Virginia in one place the “the grand old
Commonwealth,” and.in another “that
noblest of Commonwealths;” grandeur,
age and nobility being abstract virtues,
peculiar to Virginia, that are recognized
all over the South. But the Ecstatic is
-sometimes wrong in his spelling and in
his Shakspeare. “Hymineal” i 3 South
ern chivalric orthography, and “to the
manor bom” is Shakspeare according to
the chivalric reading. But these little
peculiarities can be overlooked, more
particularly when one reads the sweet
phrases about “the married state,” and
the fairer prospect that sheds its radi
ance,” and “the worthy groom” who
“bears the seal of manly chivalry that
is so universally bestowed,” &c., and
the “fair bride” that “combines all
those womanly graceswhich distinguish
the daughters of Mississippi,” and that
“one of the fairest daughters of Vir
ginia,” who got “wooed and won,” the
wooer and winner being an “esteemed
Orleanian,” and the “one more link,”
and “the invisible chain of friendship,”
“the happiest of social ties,” and “all
the happiness of earth,” and the “cloud
less, skies and happy days,” &c. &c.
These are very pretty bits of writing,
and if any young people about to be
married want to be celebrated, they are
advised to go to New Orleans, and they
will be sure of a first rate notice.
“GESXIEHASIY LAWS.”
New York is a great city. It has its
Broadway, its Fifth avenue, its Central
Park, its Ben and Fernando Wood, its
John Morrissey and its Judge McCunn.
And apropos of the latter. The Judge
has recently made a decision (he has
made several that have been quite fa
mous), in which he comments on “the
gentlemanly spirit of the common law,”
in refusing to allow a dupe who had
been fleeced by a gambler, to recover his
money. The Judge evidently knows
which side his bread is buttered on, and
he has no notion of offending his con
stituency. If the emergency should
arise, he would no doubt decide that it
is eminently Chesterfieldian to-take a
gentle knock-down with brass-knuckles
and refuse toappear against the knocker
down; that if Peter Funk chiseled you
it would be about the fair thing to grace
fully concede to Peter all the profits of
the swindle; while' in the many ordi
nary branches of swindling the fleeeee
could only hope to be considered a
Chevalier Bayard by giving in to the
fleecer,whom “the gentlemanly spirit of
the common law” would disdain to
prosecute. With a Morrissey for Con
gresstnan, a McCunn for a Judge, and
a Boole for Alderman, what a career of
glojy opens before New York!
*THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN,-PHILADELPHIA, SATTFPAY; PECEWWFK 22 3 ft R —T|?IPI/R SHEET
omrau TIMIDITY.
It is believed by some that the ieason
why the city authorities / manage to
avoid any interference with the Fire
Department, even "where abuses are f
most flagrant and the need for reform 1
the: most pressing, is from fear that the,
influence of the firemen will be brought s
to bear upon them at the ballot-box, and 1
their, chances for| re-election will b©
thus spoiled. This feeling,if it iB really
entertained, is as weak, mean and-cow
ardly, as it is mistaken. It pre-supposes
a clannish spirit among the firemen
which makes them go in a mass for or
against any man or set of men who have
not only the good of the city, but the
good of the firemen also at
hehrt. This * would pay the fire
man a very poor compliment
and if the reason was a substantial one
it would be a most powerful argument
for the abolition of a system which
could produce such a condition of terror
ism. Now, the fact is, the respect
able portion of the Fire Departihent.and
a very large proportion of it 1b composed
of most estimable men and good citizens
—understand the evils attending the
present irresponsible system, and they
advocate all sorts of reforms, from the
mild measure,now or lately,before Coun
cils, to the entire breaking up of the
volunteer system and the establishment
of a paid department in its stead. These
men understand the defects of the pre
sent system, and they admit their ina
bility to restrain the rowdy or injudi
cious minority which brings discredit
upon the whole.
But suppose the department, or any
considerable number of its members,
should determine to proscribe a fearless
and honest public servant; what would
be the consequences ? There are in the
city of Philadelphia a little more than
three thousand active firemen. Fully
one-third of these men earnestly desire
some measure of reform, and they would
be more apt to vote for its advocates than
against them. Take the remaining two
thousand, and divide them among the
two hundred and odd voting precincts
in the city, and it would make less thah
ten firemen to each precinct, Deduct
from this number those who are not em
tiled to vote, and those who will
vote their party ticket with
out regard to the fire ques
tion, and the bugbear sinks into
ridiculous insignificance. But it .must
jbe remembered that proscription is a
game that works both ways,and the fear
less candidate would be apt to gain two
votes for every one cast against him from
motives of revenge. Ex-Mayor Henry
was openly and avowedly in favor of a
paid Fire Department, and in one of his
annual message he dwelt at length
upon the evils of the volunteer system
and urged the establishment of a paid
department. Mr. Henry was twice re
elected after this,andhad he not declined
a re-nomination he would now befilling
the Mayoral chair. The fear of the Fire
Department, or of any other combined
influence, is a motive for action, that is
mean, cowardly and unmanly, and no
servant of the people should allow him
self to be influenced in his official action
by any such feeling.
DEATH, OF BISHOP ELLIOTT.
The telegraph announces the death,
at Savannah, of Bt. Bev. Stephen
Elliott, D. D. Protestant Episcopal
Bishop of Georgia. Bishop Elliott has
long occupied a commanding position
in his Church, and his loss will be
severely felt throughout his own diocese
and the whole South. He was the son
of Stephen Elliott, L. L. D., a cele
brated naturalist and scholar of South
Carolina, and was born at Beaufort, S. C.
in 1806. He graduated at Harvard in
1824 and entered the ministry in 1835.
He was, for several years, professor of
sacred literature in the Carolina
college, where he remained until 1840,
when he was elected Bishop of Georgia,
being consecrated in February. 1841.
Bishop Elliott was a man of fine pre
sence and courtly and polished manners,
an accomplished scholar and one of the
most eloquent divines of the Episcopal
Church. Identified, theologically, with
the Evangelical side, of his denomina
tion, he at all times exercised a powerful
influence in the House of Bishops and
throughout the Church generally, while
at the South he was venerated with all
the enthusiasm of a true devotion. Up
to the time of the rebellion, Bishop
Elliott had almost as many friends at
.the North as at the South. He was a
most welcome visitor to the Church at
the North, and every pulpit of his deno
mination was freely thrown open for
the exercise of his powerful, chaste and
eloquent oratory. Like most South
Carolinians of the several learned pro
fessions, Bishop Elliott was always more
or less of a politician, and with the break
ing out of the rebellion ,he threw himself
into the struggle with a violence which
was only exceeded by the notorious
Bishop of Tennessee. The whole power
ofhis commandinginfluence was exerted
to take his portion of the Church out of
communion with the Episcopal. Church
of thfe United States and afterwards to
keep it out. His was the genius that in
spired all the movements of his denomi
nation in the interests of the rebellion,
and long after armed opposition to the
Government had ceased, this powerful
prelate resisted all ideas of ecclesiastical
reconstruction except upon the terms
which he dictated of an absolute silence
on the part of the loyal Episcopal Church
of the North, on all matters connected
with the rebellion. Like Bishop Polk,
Bishop Elliott inflicted an irreparable
injury upon himself, in the esteem
confidence and affection of thousands of
his old friends,by the prominent and vio.
lent.way in which he identified himself
with the bad cause of the rebellion. It
was the natural result of his life-train
ing in the midst of the pernicious atmo
sphere of South Carolina politics, and he,
like many another Christian minister,
foiled to appreciate or resist the insidious
influences amongst which his lot was
cast. ■
As a hold, fearless, eloquent preacher
and bishop; as a man of spotless per
sohal character,and of rare culture and re
finement; as one who was, in all relations
where his political heresy did not assert
itself, a fine model of the Christian gen
tleman, Bishop Elliott deservedly occu
pies a distinguished place in the annals
of the American Church, and it is with
a sincere regret that the journalist, in
the honest discharge of his duty, is com
pelled to record one word that detracts
from the otherwise bright lustre of a
brilliant and useful life.
Tbe BestProofa of Good tfanagemeiit.
From official returns recently made to the
Massachusetts Insurance Department we
learn that the income of the North America
Life Insurance Company, for the year end
ing November 1,1866, is $1,208,743, and the
present assets $1,265,272. The losses paid
during the same time were but 71 per cent,
and the total expenditures only 22} percent
of the income. These very small ratios are less,
than those of any other New York Company
of more than two years.’ experience. The
above figures being the representation of the
business of the Company for the fourth year
of its existence, show results never before
achieved by any similar institution, and
reflect honor and credit upon both its ad
ministration and its efficient agents, as the
greatest danger to which Life Insurance
Companies are exposed, is extravagant and
heedless expenditures. We, the friends of
this Company, are not at all surprised at Bach
unparalleled success, knowing, as we do,
that those who have accomplished these
very beneficial and highly satisfactory
results, are gentlemen of the highest
integrity and ability, and have devoted
the best years of their lives to the studyjof
Life Insurance, and to the perfection of the"
popular plan upon which the North Ameri
ca is now conducted. The policies of this
Company are peculiar, both in point of se
curity and liberality, being secured by
pledge of public stocks and free from the
nsnal restrictions in travel, residence and
employment, together with a graceof thirty
days in all renewal payments.
The Philadelphia branch of this insti
tution is under the management of Nelson
F. Evans, Esq., Nos. 434 and 436 Walnut
street, where itis unnecessary to say a most
thriving business has been done, over 1,300
policies having been issued to some of our
most prominent and respectable townsmen.
Earle’s Galleries. —We take this op
portunity to express a little of our admira
tion for the wonderful collectionof works of
art now arranged for the holidays at Earle’s
galleries, on Chestnut street. The new
styles of mirrors are most elegant, while of
modern oil paintings there is a ho3t, by the
most famous foreign and American artists.
Among them are gems by Souderman,
Basch, Millner, Weber and others. There
are some very fine groups of statuary by
Rogers and others. Among them are the
•‘Charity Patient,” “Uncle Ned’s School,”
“Popping the Question, &c. Copies of Mar
shall’s great engraving of Lincoln may also
be bad at Earle’s, together with every con
ceivable kind of engraving or painting. Oae
can pass an hour charmingly in enjoying the
treasures of art collected there.
