NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The American News Company, N. Y„
have just published, in handsome book form,
“The New Gospel of Peace.” This keen
and amusing satire upon recent American
politics, especially as they relate to the city
of New York, is one of the most striking of
the varied literary productions of the war.
The secret of its authorship has been well
kept, and is made the subject of a capital
serio-comic disquisition in the preface of
this' edition. The Chaldaic origin of the
•work will scarcely be disputed, after this
learned argument in its favor. The close
imitation of Scriptural phraseology in this
■clever production will always lay it open to
the charge of needless irreverence, in many
minds, but its caustic wit and the powerful
political influence whioh it has exercised,
■entitle it to a place in the library, amongst
the other records of the rebellion. The
present edition is enriched by solemn foot
notes, by way, as the author says, “of exe
gesis, improvement and edification.” It is
for sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co.
“The History of a Mouthful of Bread,” is
the title of a book just published by the
American News Company. It is the first
American edition of a French work by Jean
MacS, which has already passed through
seventeen editions .' in Paris. The main,
purpose of this capital book, is to convey in
simple language, adapted to the compre
hension of the young, a clear idea of the
■digestive economy of the human system,
and the author has displayed marked
ability and ingenuity in his difflonlt task- ■
The American edition is a reprint of an
English edition, the errors of which haye
■been corrected and the text restored to a
jcloser adherence to the original. The book
■■will be a most valuable aid in the instruc
tion of the young and will also be a valuable
aid to those of older growth whose present
ideas as to the processes to which a “mouth
ful of Bread” is subjected, are very vague’
and crude. For : sale by J. B. Lippincott
■& Co.
: J. B. Lippincott <fe Co. have received from
Lee <fc Shepard, Boston, “The “Way of the
World,” a novel by Mr. William T. Adams,
better known as “Oliver Optic.” Mr, Adams
has made a high reputation as a writer-of
juvenile books, and in this, which we be
lieve is his first esßay in regular romance,''
he shows ah ability whioh/has produced a
very readable American novel.
T. B. Peterson <ft Brothers, have received
from Harper & Brothers, N. Y., “Annals of
of a Quiet Neighborhood,” by George
Macdonald, M, A. This story purports to
be the narrative of a vicar of a quiet Eng
lish parish, and it is told with ;an easy
naturalness and with a fine appreciation of
English character in domestic' and rural
life.
Loypoldt & Holt, N. Y. have just pub
lished a very pretty edition of “King
Rent’s Daughter” translated from the
Danish of Henrick Hertz by Theodore Mar
tin. This exquisite little lyrical drama,
although intimately known in England, has
never been published but once in this
country, and tben in a very common
pamphlet form. The simple, peaceful story
of the poem is beautifully told and the
translator bas evidently caught the inspira
tion of the original, In biß free and vigorous

CBRISTMAS DAY
SCENES OF CHEISTMAS EVE.
THE TIN HORN CARNIVAL.
THE CHURCHES AND SERVICES.
THE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS.
Christmas was celebrated in this oity yes
; terday in the usual manner, bnt with con
siderably more spirit than it has been for
several years past. Monday was a very dull
day. The rain fell in torrents during the
morning, and afternoon, and everything in
dicated a disagreeable Christmas. The
juveniles and shop-keepers looked disap
pointed. The latter class had not mnch
reason to complain, however, as all the
stores where Christmas articles are to be
had were crowded, notwithstanding the
stormy weather. Towards evening the
wind shifted, and the sky brightened
up. The celebration of Christ
mas Eve commenced" abont six
o’clock, when people began to flock to the
lower part of the city. Eighth street and
Chestnut street were the centre of attrac
tion. On Eighth street, the crowd became
very dense and locomotion was exceedingly
siow. There was very little disorder. The
order of Mayor McMichael for the preven
tion of pushing and pnlling was carried out
by a strong police force, the officers being
stationed bat a few feet apart on Eighth
street, from Sansom to Race. During the
evening thirty-nine persons were arrested
for drunkenness, disorderly conduct and in
sulting females, and several individuals
were captured, for indecently' assaulting
women. The cases were all disnosed of by
Alderman Beitler, who was at 'his post'at
the Central Station. The dealers in tin
horns and penny trumpets must have done
a thriving business. Such a tumult and
din has not been heard for years. Nearly
every person seemed to have a horn; all
used their lungs lustily, and each seemed
to try who could make the most noise.
Fantastical dabs and small bands of
masqueraders, with drums and trumpets,
were more plentiful than usual. Some of
the costumes were exceedingly fanny,were
well got up, and created much amusement.
The crowds continued to throng the princi
pal streets until midnight, ana long after
that hour the noise of the horns was kept
kept up in some of the thoroughfares.
1 Christmas was ushered in by the ringing
of the chimes of Christ Churcb; St. Peter’s
Church and St. Stephen’s Church. The
morning opened with a bright sun and a
keen atmosphere. The little ones were
delighted,and everybody was highly pleased
at having such a fine day for the celebration
of the festivities. Services were held in the
Roman Catholic, Protestant Episcopal, Lu
theran and Moravian Churches. The inte
rior of all the church edifices was beauti-
tifullv decorated with evergreens. The
services were all well attended. At the
Cathedral the service was grand. Hummel’s
Grand Mass No. 1, in E flat, Mozart’s Te
Hewn, and the Grand Hallelujah Chorus
from the Messiah were sung. The choir
were assisted by the Germania Orchestra.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Wood celebrated mass, and
a sermon was delivered by Bishop O’Connor,
of Pittsburgh. ... . ’
In the afternoon people turned out in the
streets in large numbers. Chestnut street
was a perfect jam on both sides, until dark.
The noise of the horns was well kept up,
but there was little or no disorder. Aider
man Beitler had only! ten cases of drunken
ness and disorderly conduct last evening.
The poor were not forgotten yesterday.
The soup houses were ail: engaged in the
distribution of soup. At the Bedford Street
Mission House an excellent dinner was pro
vided for thechildrenwho attend the Sab
bath and day schools. The various other
charitable -institutions in the. city ■ also - fur
nished a good dinner for the inmates.
The boys at the Lincoln Institution had a
fine time yesterday. After attending service
at the. Church or the Epiphany they re
turned home, where they were welcomed
by a large company of the ladies and gen
tlemen who are interested in l this admir
able institution. The boys surrounded a
splendid Christmas tree, whioh was - bend
ing with all manner of pretty things; and
sang several Christmas-hymns and carols’
with much spirit. While thus engaged they
received a visit from -His Honor Mayor
McMichael, who was welcomed by the
boys, through the medium of their captain,
Jenness Dexter, in .a neat little speech, to
which the Mayor replied in his usual felici
tous style. He was greeted with a hearty
round cif cheers," followed by cheers for Mr.
Superintendent Borrowes, General Meade,
the ladies, and other friends of the insti
tution.
After the distribution of the presents,
consisting of skates, sleds, soarfs, and all
manner of appropriate toys, the boys sat
down to .very comfortable Christmas;din
ner, supplemented with no end of cakes
and candles. A happier houseful of child
ren was nowhere to be found; yesterday,
than beneath the hospitable roof of the Lin
coln Institution. s::;;
: The children of the Church Home, Twen- -
ty-second and Pine streets, had a- very
*,‘merry Christmas.!’ The parlors' of the 1
Home were beautifully decorated with ever
greens and flags and in the midst a tall
Christmas tree stood, loaded with the usual
fruit of thatpeonliar annual. The happy
little inmates were all agog with delight
over their. substantial: and pretty presents.
They sang a number of beautiful carols, in i
a style reflecting great credit on their excel
lent teachers, and afterwards did full justloe
to a bountifnl Christmas dinner. The.Churoh

suoh glee into the enjoyment of the liberal
provisions made by their friends, yesterday,

Christmas passed off pleasantly at the
Northern Home for Friendless Children. In
the morning the children, numbering over
three hundred, were treated to candies,
cakes, etc.. after whioh they sat down to a
bountiful dinner, which the little fellows ap
peared to enjoy amazingly. In the after
noon, a large audience listened to the reoi
: tation and singing by the children. The
recitations were conducted by the Misses

ing by A. M. Spangler. Sami. Mason, Esq.,

1 Death of the Portuguese minister.
His Excellency the Commander J. C. de
(Figanlere e Morao, Minister Plenipoten
>> ary from Fertngal, died at 1 A. M. on
Monday, at his son’s residence, in Brook
lyn. Mr. D. Figanlere was a native of Lis
' bon, and was 68 years of age. He has been
many years m the United States, his first
official position having been as Consul at
; Norfolk. He was Charge d 1 Affaires at
Washington at the time of Don Miguel’s
usurpation, under whom he refused to
serve. After the fall of Don Miguel, Mr.
de Figaniere was reappointed, and has ever
since represented his native country, his
rank for many years having been that of
Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Ex
traordinary. By virtue of seniority, he has
for a long time been Dean of the Diplomatic
Corps. Many important questions have
arisen daring his term of office between
this Government and that of Portugal,
;»nd he has eondnetea his share of the nego
tiations with great zeal, fidelity and ability.
He has resided for some years on a farm
near Charlestown, Md., only going to Wash
ington on visits of business or State cere
mony. An illness which seized him last
autumn has detained him in Brooklyn ever
since. In his social relations Mr. de Figa
niere was everything that the true gentie
man should be. His career, both profes
sional and private, has been thoroughly
honorable, and he leaves to his sorrowing
family a record that they can view with
pride and affection. The funeral services of
the deceased gentleman will take place in
the Chnrch of St. Peter and St. Paul, Brook
lyn, E. D., on Thursday morning. The re
mains will be taken to Philadelphia for in

From the Journal of Commerce, Dec. 25,
Death op Com. de Figaniere. —The
death of the Portuguese Minister, which
occurred on the 24th Inst., will be heard
with regret by many readers. We have re
ceived a tribute to his worth from a distin
guished member of the bar, which we gladly
publish:
; Joaquim C»sar de Figaniere e Morao,
Commander de Figaniere, Minister to the
United States for Portugal, died at a son’s
residence in. Williamsburg on the 21th of
December instant. This gentleman—a
gentleman in every sense of the word—was
Known for many years by the leading men
of New York. Mr. de Figaniere was the
son of an admiral, and, as a youth, was a
midshipman in the British navy. In New
York, he was, during a long period, the
Portuguese Consul General, and his excel
lent conduct and large ability caused him
to be promoted to the position of Minister
for Portugal. Such a change, from consular
to diplomatic service, is rare, and only takes
place through merit.
Commander de Figaniere was a thorough
diplomatist—we üße the word in its highest
meaning. Onr archives at Washington hold
proofs of bis great talent, in connection with
grave national matters. He labored with
(tuccess for the honor of his country in the
important case of the General Armstrong,
and his despatches, protest, and correspond
ence in matters connected with the wine
trade throughout the world, and custom du
ties attaching thereto, are referred to at the
present day. He was looked on as senior
of the foreign ministry at Washington, and
there was no equal to him among them in
bis knowledge of international law.
: He was a scholar. This is proved, among
other things, by bis published translation of-
Les Quatre Ages of Count de Segur.ln all
business dealings, he was most sensitively
honorable. With a very handsome, intel
lectual countenance, there was a carriage,
a grace, an amiability that gave instant as
surance of goodness, charitableness and
true courtesy. While many outside of his
family circle will readily eoho all that is
here put forth, never was character more
charmingly displayed than in this gentle
man,when looked at as hnsband and father.
And, as a friend, he who pens these lines can
attest his beautiful sincerity. Mr. de Fi
ganiere—it is more than thirty-five years ago
—was his first acquaintance on coming to
this country, and it was at a time when the
writer knew no one here, and wanted cheer
ing and encouragement. He not only got
these in the most delicate and self-sacrificing
manner, but a friendship was formed which
showed there was the closeness of brothers
in the grasping of hands on the death-bed.
“ I recognize you, old friend! I recognize
you, ola friend! Don’t leave me, old friend!”
■ If he had failings, we never discovered
them; they must have been connected with
some overstraining of a virtue, and could
not, in such a large heart and with true no
bility of disposition, have emanated from
any low vice. Chas. Edwards.'

Ties Junction,— Old “ Jackson Station,”
or “the Junction,” as it is now called, is
growing quite a respectable village. The
intersection of the Delaware and Raritan.
Bay Railroad with that of the Camden and
Atlantic has given an impetus to improve
ment in this locality, which is workings
rapid change. A large building, suitable
for a hotel and boarding house, together
with several neat cottages, have been com
pleted, and several more will be finished
ihe ensuing spring. Land in the vicinity is
sold very cheap, and the soil is at least
equal, if not superior to that which is so
successfully cultivated in the vicinity of
Hammontown and Egg Harbor city.
A Business CaNTßE.— Cooper’s Creek,
from its month to some distance in Newton
Township, is lined with very extensive
business establishments, including rolling
mills, foundries, cabinet works, woolen
mills, machine works, ship yards, <fco. In
the space of two miles from the Delaware it
is estimated that nearly three thousand
workmen are employed. The amount of
Capital employed in these various indus
trial pursuits is exceedingly large. Few
unacquainted with the locality can compre
hend the extent of the operations on this
little stream.
j The Bible Society.— This society, at its
recent session, was reported to be in a very
prosperous and efficient condition. Daring
the past year Mr. Shinn, the agent of the
society, has made a complete exploration of
Camden city and county, and has supplied
by saleand donation, every family with a
copy of the Scriptures that was destitute of
a Bible. A va9t amount of work has been
done, and an equal amount of good effected.
A Work House.— For years past, in fact
ever since Camden was a county, the people
have felt the necessity of a suitable work
house, where those yonng men and boys
who have been convicted of crimes can be
sent instead .of the Penitentiary. The mat
ter begins to assume'a tangible form, as the
Board of Chosen Freeholders have taken
the subject In band, and are taking prelimi
nary measures to have one erected.
New Cotton Factory.— The progress of
manufacturihg interests in South Jersey is
qnite rapid, various manufactories of dif
ferent kinds being under way. At‘May’s
Landing Borne enterprising gentlemen are'
erecting a new cotton factory, whloh is suffi
ciently capacious to employ upwards of
three hundred operatives, It will be put in
operation early in the spring.
Just Cause op Complaint.— Many of
the citizens of Camden complain, and very
justly, of the wretched condition of the river
road between Cooper street and. Cooper’s
Point.
