Charles Dickens and the Brothers Cheeryble. There has been not a little controversy as to the source from which Dickens derived the idea of these simple-hearted, generous brothers, as well as that of their eccentric, but no less good-natured, chief clerk, Tim Linkinwater. Of late it has been widely maintained, and even now,with an air of au thority, that the novelist drew only on his imagination for their ideal, and had not any living prototypes in his mind's eye. The writer is in a position to state a few facts which may throw light on the subject, and he is glad to do so while Mr. Dickens is here. Allowing for a little high-coloring and "the bringing out into bolder relief" of certain personal peculiarities, the late eminent Mer chants, William and Daniel Grant, of Man chester, were, to all intents—in simplicity, sincerity, and most nobleand unostentatious benevolence—the Brothers Cheeryl3le or ac tual life when and before "Nicholas Nickle by" was written; while one had only to call in at the Grants' place of business, in Cannon street, Manchester (close by the home of the poet, Charles Swayne), to recognize en the high stool, ever punctual to his pen and post, the familiar form and features of Tin Linkin water. The Brothers Grant were the friends of Dickens's youth before he started, to seek his fortune in London. In a work published in London, entitled "Men • cif , the Time," thereis a long and interesting article on Mt. Dickens, but it either misrepresents, or slurs .over, many parts of his earlier life. For ex ample, no one reading that article would ever suppese that hereceived a considerable part •of his education at the school of Mr. Giles, of -Ardwick 'Green, Manchester, well-known and much respected as a teacher for two gen erations there. While the impression is con veyed by the article that the future novelist first came to London with his father from Portsmouth or Chatham, when, at VIA con elusion of the war, the father was pensioned •off; whereas, it was from the North that Dickens started, full of ambitious hope, fir the great city, where so many a no less ar dent aspirant after literary fame and fortune than he had long before experienced the sickness of "hope deferred," and prematurely found only the rest of the grave, instead of the realizations of youth's romantic dream ing, and where Dickens himself was destined to go through many a hard and long trial before he "soon found lucrative employ ment as a reporter of parliamentary debates." It is no object of the writer of this article to discuss seriatim the early life of Mr. Dickens, whom he loves and honors for the benevolent tone and beneficent tendency of his writings. But as to the identity of the Brothers Cheeryble with the Messrs. Grant, of Manchester,Mr. Dickens would be the that (he is sur) to acknowledge the friendship that existed between him and them previous to 1842, and the fact that on a certain day each year, unless something unforeseen should prevent it, be was regularly expected as a guest at Daniel Grant's hospitable home in Mozley street, Manchester. Both William and Daniel. Grant, and a younger brother, John, have long since been called away from the scene alike of their successful in dustry and enterprise, and of their large hearted benevolence and sympathy with suffering ; for surely never lived three men who more entirely acted on the prin ciple : "Rejoice with the rejoicing, And with the weeping weep, Your heart, your soul, your voice in Divine communion keep." " „ But although the lapse of years has some what dimmed memory's retrospect,the writer could give you and your readers some inter esting facts respecting the career of the Cheeryble Brothers—facts related with an honest pride by them at their own table. Not to trespass too far on your space, however, here briefly is one. In the days when "coach ing" had not yet been driven altogether out of existence by the "iron horse," the traveler by the coach from Manchester to Blackburn, on approaching the latter place, would have his curiosity excited by observing on an emi- Bence to his right a white tower, not sup ported by any church or other edifice, and his inquiries would elicit, if he had the box seat, from the garrulous, but very sententious coachman—a perfect Tony Weller in his way, —a narrative not far wide of the truth. On that high ground which commands in the dis tance to the South, a view of Manchester's lofty and dense chimney forest, one autumn evening towards the close of the last century, the two elder Grants, then mere boys, sat down weary, footsore, on their way to seek an uncle, who was employed in one of the Man chester mills. They had only about eighteen pence remaining, between them ; night was about to set in, and there were some sixteen miles of travel yet before them, which they fora while despaired, in their worn and weary condition, of being able to accomplish. But after an hour's rest, and having partaken of what bread they had remaining, • they again took courage, put a "stout shoulther to a stiff brae," and started for the manufacturing me tropolis, where, that night, they had to seek shelter in an humble, tavern, at which a few - pence procured-them a--clean bed and simple supper. In the morning they discovered their relative, who was "boss" or foreman of one of the mills, and front that day, begin ning in "the ranks," they steadily marched on to fortune. Their diligence and integrity were powerfully aided by the same educa tion they had received in one of "John Schools"—schools from which vast numbers of self-made Scotchmen have grad ,uated—and in. 1840, he who stood -on that memorial tower on a clear day and looked southward, might follow with his glance for miles the course of a river studded with fat tories built and owned by the Brothers Grant. They acquired immense wealth, and they made a most noble use of a large por tion of it. Especially, remembering the trials of their oWn early days, they were ever ready to encourage strtiggling youth. Many a man, now in high'position and prosperous circumstances, owes his first start in life to the generous, yet most delicate, help of the Brothers Cheeryble. " They, and their younger brother and Tim Linkinwater are now all gone, but verily "their deeds do live after them." The above are but a few out of many facts which the writer can attest from personal knowledge and information re ceived from the fountain head.—N. Rue. Adventure with an Elephant...

A rogue elephant is like a rogue among us --an outcast: and like the human namesake, he revenges himself by giving up his life to mischief. In Ceylon "they spend their nights in marauding." They destroy plantations; they, tread down gardens, they ruin rice fields and cocoanut trees. They hide in the forests in the day time, but sometimes they will venture out and boldly carry off booty from the fields, or suddenly rush on the traveler ins the thick woods and murder him without mercy. They seem to hate men, and no doubt have causes enough to do so from their point of view. The natives are glad when English sportsman arrives, and eagerly offer to gnide him, in the hope that he may lay low one of these truly elephantine foes. The natives tell many interesting stories of 'their adventures with rogue elephants; and from these narratives as written by a Sing halese gentlemen, I will ,select one of the best. The superintendent of a cocoanut planta tion near Negorabo told a story of an adven ture with an elephant, which shows that four-legged "rogues are addicted to "sport" as well as two-legged hunters. A "regue , elephant " had done so much in jury to the plantation that the owners deter mined to kill it. They made up a party of ten riersons, who carried six loaded rifles. The leader was Mr. Lindsay, an Englishman who was then living at Ceylon. As they were quietly walking along the path which led to the spot where the elephant bad been seen an hour before, the native who was in advance shouted wildly, "There! there!" and took to his heels. 'The brute at this time was only thirty or forty yards from the hunters. Every ,:of them at once followed the example o sizl native, and ran for his life. The elephant gave chase,screaming at the top of his shrill voice. The Englishman succeeded in reaching the branches of a tree in safety; the rest quickly imitated his example. "As for myself;" said the gentleman who told me the story, "although I made one or two superhuman efforts, I could not climb the tree. But there was no time to be lost. The elephant was running at me with his trunk bent down in a curve toward the ground. At this critical moment Mr. Lind say held out his foot, by the help of which, and then of the branches, which were three or four feet above my head, T managed to scramble up the branch. The elephant hesi tated a. few moments, evidently considering what was best for him to do. His mode of attack shows how sagacious these huge creatures are. First, coiling his trunk around the stem of the tree, he tried in vain to tear it up by the roots. Putting his head against it he endea vored to push it over. After pushing for several minutes he found that his efforts were useless. Then, in order to weaken its hold, he trampled down all the projecting roots, moving round and round the tree as he did so. He failed again to push it over, and tried again and again. Seeinr , a pile of timber near by which had beeri'lately cut down, he carried it, piece by piece, to the root of the tree, and piled it up with as much judg ment and skill as if he had served an appren ticeship to a wood-sawyer. After carrying thirty-six pieces i he mounted the platform, put his hind legs on it, raised the lore part of his body and rested - it on the tree, and then reached out his trunk for his prey. But the stratagem failed; they were still out of reach. Mr. Lindsay now thought that as fair play was no more than his due, he would try his skill on the elephant, and after two shots suc ceeded in killing him. It is only "rogue," or outcast elephants, or female elephants after their young have been killed, that are dan gerous to travelers . . The ordinary elephant is not, like the "rogue," savage, wary and re vengeful, or as Sir S. Baker expresses it, "thirsting for blood, and knowing no greater pleasure than the act of crushing his victim to a shapeless mass beneath his feet." The Weeping Princess. The story of lowering the Russian flag in Alaska Mid the tears of a Russian princess, tearing of the-flag, etc., caused something of - a sensation. The story was a sensation. A. correspondent tells how it came about. Many of our readers will remember the "crazy cor respondent" spoken of,. who some years ago flourished to something of an extent in this city. The following sketch will be interest ing Now a word of explanation will set at rest all doubts, and do away with all cause of wonder on the part of our Eastern friends, - concerning these same sensational de-. spatches. The simple truth of the matter is that the New York Herald sent to Alaska a crazy-looking genius, who calls himself Dr. Byron Adonis,wears his hair hi long ringlets down his shoulders, and is the most perfect picture of the ideal love-stricken. youth I have ever seen. This curious fellow —whose real name is Jamieson, I am told— was the victim of more sells on the trip than you could recount in a month. Being on shore, one day, in a state bordering on ine briety, to say the least, ho blundered into the house of a Russian musician, insulted his sister, and was ordered out of the premises on the double-quick by Russ. This fact coming to the ears of„ the wags on board the John L. Stevens, they cooked up a cock-and bull story about the Russian having been on board demanding vengeance, and got a sol dier who could write in the Russianlanguage, to write Dr. Adonis a letter demanding in stant satisfaction, which the writer himself read to the horror-stricken correspondent of the Herald. The latter at once penned a letter to the Russian, offering to make any possible amends for the insult he had offered, and ending : "If this does not satisfy you, my lite is at your disposaL" A. rejoinder, refusing all satisfaction; - save that ,of the code of honor, was concocted and read to him by the same parties. "A duel with short swords was now arranged and forced on Adonis, and, from that time forward, they had biin in , training or under arrest all the time,,, duel following duel on paper, until the expedition was ready to•return to California. The whole of this correspondence is now in San Fran .cisco, and, I assure you, it is rich to read. ,The best of it is that Adonis came ba3k here and left for Mexico under the belief that the whole, matter was sober reality, having no suspicion of the tricks which had been played ' upon him. his despatches concerning the weeping of the Princess, the tearing of the flag, etc., were made up from the same THE T . tuilly EVENING BULLETIN PIIILAISLPRIA, FRIDAY, 3ANUARY 24,1868. source which originated the duel, and you may well believe them not entirely "roll able." • A Washington correspondent' of. the Chi cago Tribune gives the following personal gossip in regard to the members of the pres ent Congress: "In looking over a list of the- members of the present House, the singularity in the names is striking.

Simon Cameron, Pennsylvania . 68 MORALS AT WEST POINT.—The Chicago Tribune publishes a private letter from a graduate at West Point, which is rather severe on the morals of the Military Academy. After praising it as a school of science, the writer says : At West Point there is no moral influence. Not even the common barriers of society are there to check and restrain the strong ten dency toward vice. Religion there is not even a name, save to be scoffed at and de rided. The natural result of all this is im morality, vulgarity, profanity and licentious ness to a fearful degree. Much of this is checked by the strict confinement and rigid discipline, but it bursts forth at every oppor tunity, and nothing but a strong, thorough reorganizing of the whole course of training can ever change the moral atmosphere at West Point. Young men go there every year with . good habits, with unsullied reputations, and ere six months have passed away they are com pletely debauched—their ideas are, all changed. The principles which were as dear to them as life are broken and forgotten. Morally, they are shipwrecked, and those that come after, them imbibe their ideas, and fol low their bad example. In order to make their practice more distinctly known to you, I will begin with the time the new cadet re ports. He is put under the charge of the older cadets, who, under the pretence of teaching him discipline; treat him with the greatest brutality; and those whose duty it is to care for him, will assist the other cadets to heap insults and petty indignities upon him. He is made to repeat, from the mouths of his tormentors,the vilest and most indecent stories and songs, stand upon a montlepiece and address (upon some vulgar subject) his audience of other cadets, until his limbs are ready to fail of their duty, and many other harassing things, (some of which it would not be decent to write,) he is made to do. You may ask why an American youth of any spirit will endure such things, and why the officers allow it ? First, when a new ca det arrives he is alone, without friends, and at once he is set upon by twenty or thirty old cadets, whom he hardly knows whether be ought to obey or not. If he dares to disobey he must fight, else the opinion of the corps will be that ho is a coward. If he tights he is sure of being beaten, for a stronger man is always pitted against him, and it is the cus tom of the corps for the third class to co into "training" about a month before the "Plebes" arrive, so as to be able to flog the new comers. You :may exclaim, "What high toned honor !" '? It is the honor which West Point - shows to new cadets. - - After - " oingi nto camp, the new cadet, "d—d Plebe,as he is called, must do the work of the old cadets, make the beds, clean guns, run errands, light pipes, and fill pails of water, which have been upset on purpose to make work for MM. These and other things must he do, and at the game time hear the Most brutal language addressed to him at all 01=4. If he refuses to work he is struck, or a pail of water is thrown upon him, cad then the public opinion of the corps requires him to. 41ght, and with seconds, umpire acid all" the equipments of the prize ring these affairs of honor- come off— Even-at-the mess hall this petty tyrannical system is displayed; the Con gressionn4. Portionaloi. "Plebes" are allowed only What the older cadets do not wish to eatthemselves. Tbere are a certain`, number of the upper classes of cadets appoibted 'ellic'ers over the rest,and if they have any dislike for any of the fourth class (Plebes) they show their revenge ful spirit by reporting them for deeds which theY never committed. The old cadets do not consider it dishonorable to treat a "Plebe" in this manner. They are dead to every idea of justice, decency, or even common huma nity. , Social Condition of England' The Londtm Review devotes its leading article for the new year to a retrospect, and a confession. The confession is certainly candid: "At this time there is no country, no mat ter how embarrassed or how ppor, in which there is so much pressing and painful poverty, so much vices so much misery, as in Eng land. We have failed witkour lower classes to such an extent that in the country we find some of them working like' cattle, fed and housed worse than cattle; while in the towns we do not know what with them until they , are ripe for dropping into the seething po'pl Of vice and crime. With allour wealth, and England, is a wealthy country, we have not succeeded in distributing happiness or contehtin the proportion of which we'could , be proud.. , We find massed against us a gloomy and threatening spirit of insubordi nation, and a gathering of ominous elements, from which voices are, heard, that having broken down in our task we should give it up to those who will change all things. Criticism is no longer a function lim ited to one class. Our future masters begin to take stock and value of us. ‘-- "In that social life in which most of us are concerned, which may be placed above the reach of sordid wants, can we congratulate ourselves upon a distinct advance? Around us on all sides we learn of families living upon fictitious incomes, we find a rate of increase in;the taste for luxuries so incommensurate with the means for getting them,hpnestly,that people satisfy the craving with a'recklessness which brings ruin upon them. Comfort is a. word the meaning of which is beginning to disappear. Every one desires to be rich, and those who are not rich keep up the pretence until the wolf is at the door."

MESSAHE OE THE PRESIDENT TO THIS SENATE The,.President today sent the followipg message to the Senate, bat which has not yet been formally WM before that body: • To the Senate of the United States 1 have received the following preamble and resolu tions, adopted by the Semite on the Bth inst.: Whereas, The Senate. bill numbered 141, end en titled "An act for the farther security of equal rights in the District of Columbia," having at this present , session tamed both housee of Congrese. was after wards, on the 11th day of December, 1807, duly pre sented to the President of the United States for his approval and signature; and, Whereae, Moro than ten days, exclUsive of Sundays, have since elapsed in:this session. without said bill havieg been returned, either approved or disapproved; therefore, Resolved, 'That the President of the United States be requested to inform the Senate whether said bill has been delivered to and received by the Secretary of State, as provided by the second section of the act of the rth day , of July, 1789. As the act which the resolution mentions has no relevancy to the subject under inquiry, it is presumed that it was the intention of the Senate to refer to the law of September 15, 1789; section ,second of which prescribes that whenever a bill, order, resolution, or vote, of the Senate and House of Repre sentatives, having been approved and signed by the President of the United States or not having been returned by him with his objections, shall become a law and take effect, and It shall forthwith thereafter be received by the said Secretary from the President and whenever a bill. order, resolution, or vote, shah be returned by the President with his ob jection', end shall, on being reconsidered, be agreed to be palled and be approved by two-thirds of both blames of Congress, and thereby become a law or take effect, shall in such case be received by the said Sec retary from the President of the Senate or the Speak. er ot the Hones of Representatives or whichsoever house it shall last have been approved. • inasmuch as the 'bill for the further security of equalrilhieintheDistrictof Columbia has not ;be come a law in either of the modes designated 'tithe section above quoted,' it has' ot been delivered tattle. Secretary of Stute for record and promulgation. The Constitution expressly declares that if any bill shall not be returned by the President within ten days, Sundays excepted, after it shall have been presented to him, the same shall be a law in like mintier as if ho has signed it, unless the Congress, by their ad jourmment, prevent its return, in which case it shalt not be a law. Ad stated in the preamble to the resolution, thebill to which it refers was presented for my approval on the first day of December, 1887. On the 20th of the same month, and before &tie ex pin ti on of ,the,ten , days alter the premtatton of the bill to the Mai dent, the two houser, In accordance with a concurrent resolution, adopted on theikl -of Deoemhor, ad journed until the tith of Janriary, 1868. Congress, by their adjournment, thus prevented the, return of the bill within the time prescribed by the Constitution, .and it was therefore left in the precise condition in vwhich that Instrument positively declarer a bill shall not be a law. If the adjournment in December did not cause the failure of this bill, because not such an adjournment as is contemplated by the ' Con stitution in' the case which I have cited, it must follow that such was the nature of the ad- Journmente during the past year, on the Pith day of. March until the dent Wednesday of July, and from the: . 20th of July until the 21st of November, to Cathie other bills to be affected by the decision which may be rendered in this cue; among them, one having the same title as that named in the resolution, and containing similar provisions, which was passed by both bouses in the month of Jelly last. and failed to become a law by reason or the adjournment of Con gress before the ten days for its consideration had been allowed the Executive. (Signed) . Amine w JOLINBON.

The amount required in redemption cities Ls twen ty-five per cent., and out of redemption cities fifteen per cent.

Ad journed: IXONG.9IIOS.4IFOOND SESSION* 00ACt1781014 OF YESTP.RDAY% PROCEEDINGS. The first business In order was the ; reference of certain 'louse bills. On the second reading of the act supplementary to the act for the more efficient govenunent of the rebel States, passed March 2, 1867, postponed yesterday at his request, Mr. Tioourrix took - the door and said he would move to amend the ordinary motion of; refer ence' by adding certain instructions to thetominittee, as follows : That the Committee on the 'Judiciary be instructed, in any bill ithich may be reported by them having reference to the "question ,of reconstruction," so called, in any of the Status not represented in the present Congress, to insert the following proviso: Proricled leer erg/alai r, That upon an election for the ratification of any constitution. or of officers under the same, previous to its 'adoption in any State, no person not baying the qualifications of an elector under the constitution and laws of such State previous to the late rebellion shall be allowed to vote unless he shall TOllBeEll Orlp of the' 'foilotving qualifications, namely: - 1. lie shall haye served as a soldier in the Federal Army for One year Or morev • ' 2. Bestiall have sufficient education to read the Constitution of the United States and to subscribe his name to at oath to support the same; or, fi. Lie duel be seized in his own right. or in the right of Ma wife, of a freehold of the value of $250. The committee of conference on the cotton tax bill reported in favor of a compromise amendment, "that co:ton imported after July 1, 1868, be exempt from duty." Adopted. Mr. Giustirs„ of lowa, from the Committee on Naval Affairs, reported in favor of the bill allowing the sale of iron -clads, with an amendment. Mr. NYE obtained the floor, but yielded it to Mr. TnimithAswhO,Ofterilluding to the claim ofthe Dem ocratic party to be 'the friends of the Constitution and the Union, said It was a little remarkable that it embraced all the men who fought against the Consti tution and Union, as well' as that the measures the Senator had announced as unconstitutional were originated by the men who hod fought andlegialated to maintain them. He denied that it, as claimed by the Senator, was in imminent danger. He did not think that the Senator and his tusisociates had the power to peril its treat. 'lts Only pcissible danger lay in their mifapprehe edonsF Of the designs of the_Republican party and in such speeches as that just made. Re. .petting the progress of the Southern conventions, he said reconstruction was going on and would soon re store Ultra to. the Union, and release them from the military despotism which so alarmed the Senator. In reply to Mr. Doolittle's remarks about the measure affecting the majority of the Suprenie 'Conti, he asked how he knew that three favored and five were opposed to the reconstruction acts. He had heard enough about this charge. If it be true, he continued, that five Judger; of the Supreme Court , have given their opinions that the acts of Congress are tuacorustitri tional, then I say those Ave judges are hafamons, and ought to be impeachedto-morrow, or just as soon as it comes before us, If it be untrue, I brand as liars those who assert it. $419,813,790 101,699, sf 3 297,790,8 n 54.'8.81473,701, 120,002,700 $416,166,072 420.028,300 107,719,119 16,909,923 '18,034,519 116,145,995 Mr. Joncusotr, of Maryland, asked upon what in formation the Senator repeated the story. Mr. Tnuisrit er. said the Senator from Wisconsin hadfspoken of it. Mr. a082030N regretted to bear that, and did not be lieve the story to be true in point of tact. Mr. Tntarnver--Nor do I. Mr. Joinison agreed with him in censuring it, if It was 60. Mr. TBMIIBIIII. said he had too much respect for them to belleveit. The Senator from Wisconsin had not wild that five judges expressed such opinions, but that an attempt was made to subject them to a propo sition preventing the judges from deciding such ques tions. Me'presumed the Senator from Maryland had seen the reperte in newspapers, or heard them in the Mr eels, however. Mr. Jomeson denied having seen them, and again expressed his disbelief of them. ... Mr. TnuMBUIL went on to speak of the position with which the Supreme Court had first concluded they had the right to declare an act of Congress 'un constitutional. Independent of political ques tions, he thought that less than a majority of two-thirds of the whole Court should never he permitted to pronounce an act unctinatitu tional by reason of repugnance to the Constitution. When a bill was vetoed by the President it required two-thirds of the representatives of the people of the Union to make it a law. Should three oat of eight judges then be permitted to say it should be no law? Why place a Court above themselves, which would be the case even if twothirds cotdd set aside What two thirds did. Possibly it would not be _going too far to require a unanimous opinion of the wholtill Court. These were questions for careful deliberation, and he was sorry that they were lugged into the discussion, they had nothing to do with the . question. Mr. JOUNSON—They do not belong to it. Mr. TRUMBULL, alluding to- a remark about the Chief Justice, went on to say, he hoped they would act with referencelto the best interests of the country and not any man's interests in the Presidency. In the passage or such a measure; he again denied, that any attempt was being made to establish negro sispremacy. Many more thousands of whites went to the polls in rebel States and voted, than were disfranchised, and though many had been deterred from voting, for one he wonld never agree to modify the policy requiring the States to be placed in the trends of loyal men, or that they should be turned over to the plunderers of the nation—over to the plunderers of the nation's wealth—or the would-be murderers of the nation's life. The death of Representative Hamilton, of Ohio. was announced and appropriate resolutions were adopted, on which Senator Sirgardsw addressed the Senate, which then, out of respect to the memory of the deceased, adjourned. Home of Representatives- The death of the late Hon. Cornelius P. Hamilton, of the Eighth Congressional District of Ohio, was then. at 2 o'clock, announced by his 'colleague, Mr. LawnstmE, who pronounced a eulogy on the deceased, and offered a series of appropriate resolution& Further remarks in eulogy of the character and public services of the deceased were madelby Messrs. Morgan, Buckland and Welker. The resolutions were adopted.. The House thereupon, at a quarter before three, adjourned. President WilliamS. Stokely called the Chamber to order at quarter past three o'clock. This was the busime transacted: A message was received from • Mayor McMichael, stating that he had , approved certain ordinances, among them the one consolidating the Departments of Market, Wharyea. 4.a4iings,:witti that, of,City, Property. A communication was received from the Controllers of Public Schools. asking the use of Spring' Garden Hall for school purposes. This was referred to the Committee on Scheele. A communication was received from Mayor Mc- Michael, submittitura communication from the Ad visory Couunisslon appointed under the ordinance tor the appointment of an inspector or stationary steam boilers and engines. They say that they have come to the conclusion that if the ordinance is put o operation in its present form, it cannot but prove disastrous, as Counclis have failed to adopt some of their suggestions.
