- THE VENUS OF MILO. ( Venus Victth.) :1113.SARAH - HELEN WHITMAN. "Wbcn I entered for the I lan time that magni ficent hall of the Louvre, where stands on ner pedestal the ever blessed goddess of beauty, our beloved Lady of Milo, the diva looked on me with a face of mournful and tender compassion."-- Reinrich Goddess of dreams, mother of love and sorrow, Such sorrow as from lore's fair promise flows, Such love as from love's martyrdom doth borrow, That conquering calm which only sorro knows. Venus, Madonna! so serene and tender, In thy calm after-bloom of life and love, Mort fair than when of old thy sea-born splendor Surprised the senses of Olympian Jove. Not those the lips that with'empassioned plainin Poured subtle heats through Adon's languid frame Till, over cheek and brow, their kisses raining, Thrilled to his heart and turned its frost to flame. Tby soul transcending passion's wild illusion, • Its fantasy. and fever and unrest, Broods tenderly in thought's devout seclusion, O'er some • lost love-dream lingering in my breast. Thy face seems touched with pity for the anguish Of earth's disconsolate and lonely hearts; For all the born and loveless lives that languish In solitary homes and sordid marts. With pity for the faithlessness and feigning, The vain repentance and the long regret, The perfumed lamps in lonely chambers waning, The untouched irults on golden salvers set: With pity for the patient watchers yearning Through lonely casements over midnight ' moors, Thrilled by the echo of far feet returning Through the blank darkness of the empty doors: With sorrow for the coy, sweet buds that cherish In virgin pride love's luiury of gloom, And in their fair unfolded beauty perish, jading like flowe,ra that know not how to bloom: With sorrow for the over-blown pale roses ' That waste their perfumes on the wandering air: For all the penalties that life imposes On passion's dream, on love's divine despair. ❑l'Lc. Schneider. ETranElated for the Cincinnati 'Commercial. from Le Joliee Actrices de Yarn) _ . My dear reader, if you take it into your head to pay a visit to Mlle Schneider, Diva of M. Offenbach's operas, who, at this junc ture, enjoys a greater popularity than any other French cantatrice, you must wend your way to the line_de_Verneull r -walk--across the pretty little square, with which M. Illuss numnlias seen nt to embhllish that part or the capital, and stop at the house situated on the corner of the aforesaid street and the Pas sage Martin. A rather pleasant looking old lady will bid you welcome at the porter's lodge, and, if you say that you wish to see Me. Schneider, she will exclaim, "Au pre- Mier, au premier." I take it for granted that you are provided with a letter of introduction, or some other kind of "open se same," or that Mademoi selle knows that you are coming, and has consented to receive you; otherwise I should not advise you to ascend the rather narro staircase leading to the dominions of the Diva. If you are armed with no such passe pcr ut as I mentioned, do not mane the attempt to gain access to her; for at the land ing you will be received by Jean, her Alsa clan footman, a rosy cheeked Hercules, six feet high, who will tell you in French, pro nounced with a strong German accent, that the Diva is not at home, and a glance at the athletic arms of the footman will render you at once indisposed to question the truth of what he says, and to insist on forcing your way, in spite of him. into the room. Well, then, we suppose that we have suc ceeded in satisfying M. Jean that we have a right to enter these sacred precincts, and he conducts us to the glass door in front., by winch we enter a small ante-room, beauti fuiiy furnished and decorated,—much more so than the external appearance of the house would lead us to expect. In some respects this ante-room looks like a small photo graphic gallery. There are at least fifty photographs in handsome oval frames on the walls,—portraits of crowned heads, B Menai ans, actors. musicians,—all of them in true democratic fashion, side by side. Tne most striking picture in the room, however, is tne painting of an elderly lady, who, if you ex amine the portrait a little more closely, yo , will find bears a strong resemblance to 31 lie Schneider. It is the portrait of her mother, painted by Delaune at a time when that clever artist Could as yet hardly get anybody to purchase his works. There is also a piano in the'room,—the first one Mlle Schneider was able to buy; for it is not many years since the Diva—then a poor little actress—vainly sighed for the happiness of possessing such an instrument. But we have no time to linger in this ante room, and, announced by Jean, the tbot man, step into a most cozy and elegant little bou doir-like so/on. After paying our respects to the kind lady, who receives us c with her laughing eyes, and to her two sis ters, we commence looking about the room, which, for the past two or three years, has seen within its walls so many persons shout whom the whole world talks. Crimson is the predominating color that meets your eyes everywhere--crimson hangings, crimson vel vet curtains, crimson poriirres, a. crimson sofa, crimson chairs„nte-furniture is mostly rococo, very elegant—almost too elegant and, except the color, by no means well matched. This is, however, not to be attri buted to any lack of taste on the part of the fair owner of these beautiful rooms, but Admply a consequence of the fact that most of that what which surrounds us here consists of presents given to M'lle Schneider by a great many dfferent persons. Only four paintings hang on the wall, and What do you think they are? One is a tine copy of Raphael's Madonna della Sedia, two are exquisite little landscapes, painted by Grou=se, who presented them to the lady, and ibe icurth, the largest of them all, represents the Cantatrice and her sisters. ' These sisters, Claire and Fanny, are con siderably younger than the Diva, who loves them dearly; and their very presence at this house should be regarded as sufficient evi dence of the utter groundlessness of all the disparaging statements by which professional rivals, animated with the meanest of jealousy and the most intense hatred, have not hesi tated to assail the character of Mlle Schnei der. She loves her sisters so tenderly, she sets them in every respect such a good ex ample that these who are acquainted with the family csnnot but feel highly indignant at the senseless charges,.preferred against her. Her . jealous rivals blame her, in particular, for allowing, in 1867, so many distinguished strangers,' among them princes and crowned heads, to visit her at her house, sad for re ceiving presents at their hands. But what was she to do? Was she shut her doors against these visitors? Why pre Mesdames Carvalho, Gueymard. and Saxe, who did the same thing, not censured for it as bit terly tu3 Mlle Schneider? Did they refuse the .• I• iresents which admiration laid at th feet? Had' these c : ming ladies done so, they would not be able to adorn themselves with so many precious diamonds as they do. Two things are best calculated to show ' how utterly groundless these inventions of despicable malice are. A certain very distinguished - personage (Prince Napoleon) has been mentioned as the lover with whom Mlle Schneider kept up a liaison, causing thereby, as was asserted by the scandal mongers, much grief and Mortification to the exoellent wife of that eminent man. Now, the simple truth is that Mlle Schneider never had an interview with him in her lite, and not a word ever passed between the two. IL will be remembered what a surprise was created last year when M. Ledernier pub lished in the Constitutionnel the age of so many actresses, and stated also that Mite Schneider was born in 1835, and that so far from being twenty-five years of age, as had been generally supposed, she was consider ably over thirty years old. The fair enemies were in ecstasies on readingl this. "How disagreeable this must be to the old coquette." "She would give all her diamonds if this statement cottld be proved erroneous." Such and similar were the exclamations by which her rivals manifested theirmalicious joy. An acquaintance went at that time to M'lle. Schneider, and expressed regret at the indis cretion M. Ledernier had committed by pub lishing the year of her birth. The Diva burst into a fit of laughter. "Indiscretion!" she exclaimed. "Why, he came to me, and told me that he wished to ascertain my age, and that he would publish it together with that of most of the other actresses of the capi taL I had no hesitation whatever in Jelling him when I was burn." She then added, "Is it not rather flattering foit me that people should generally think that I am so much younger than I really am?" This is a fact. She does look younger than she really is, not only behind the footlights on the stage, but also when you see her close by and stand immediately in front of her. Her eyes sparkle and flash as merrily as those of a girl of fifteen, and the hot, withering air of the theatre has not injured her healthy com plexion.. - • Her younger sisters attend to the duties of the household. Both of them are very amia ble young ladies, and, as they should do, they intensely love and admire their sister. One of them has &fine voice, and longs to become an actress like her sister; but Mlle Schneider is opposedlo her going upon the stage, and as her sisters-always defer to her wishes and bow to her decisions, Mlle Fanny has aban doned all hopes of ever having her fine voice applauded by a delighted pit. She sings, however, at all the - little family conceits which her sister gives once or twice a month to those who are fortunate to be on friendly terms with her, in the fine room adjoining to her saloon, and which she somewhat am bitiously calls _her_condertgilalL_lLls_about— twice as large as the saloon, and furnished in an elegant, but much plainer style. One of' Erard's grand pianos, a harp, a violoncello, and other musical instruments fill one side of the room, and there are, as may be expected, more chairs there than would be found in the room if it was used for a different purpose. The windoW-niches contain two beautiftil statues or Orpheus and St Cecelia, and taree rather large paintings, and as many good sized mirrors grace the walls. Ofienbach is present at almost all these concerts, and he accompanies the sing'rs on the piano or violin; but he is by no means th only distinguished musician and composer who participates in these concerts. The proudest names of the musical world of France and otuer countries have not deemed it beneath their dignity to come and contri bute to the entertainment and amusement of the audience. For,it M'lle Schneider has enemies,she also has many friends—not only because she is so handsome and talented, but because she is one of the most good-natured and kind- hearted creatures in the world. How many traits could be told in proof of this She is a benefactress to many, many of her humbler colleagues; and, if the more ambitious and successful among them look upon her with feelings of jealousy and envy, the poorer ones never mention her name without a glance of gratitude and affection. It is very seldom that she resents the in sults and provocations of malicious rivalry in the spirit , which they would seem to justify. The famous letter in which she stated that the report of her presence at the ball given by a procuinwfit A.spasis of the d, 1/i , )71(1 , •, was ulteris la!se, and that she had nothing to do v. ith "cote dame," gave herself much pain w hen she heard that it shad wrung tears tr,mi the e 3 cs of the woman to whom it re ferred. —Poor girl," she exclaimed, "I am soiry fir her' But why did she lend her self to the miserable intrigue of making It appe it as though I were a friend and ac quaintance of hers?" Few difficulties have ever arisen betwrn her cad the theatrical managers with whom she has had to do; for th , it sae insists on re ceiving a liberal salary will not be wondered at and objected to by any body; and the ni sical directors concur in admiring her patience and the excellent manner in which she keeps her temper even under the most trying cir cumstances. She masters completely every role intrusted to her, before she sings it even at a rehearsal, and, despite her great reputa tion as an actress and cantatrice, she receives every suggestion of the leader and composer with perfect good humor. 31 - ist of the roles in which she of late years acquired so much celebrity she studied under the personal direc tion of K. Offenbach himself. She has often been asked if it did not weary her to sing and perform the same co/6 so many times, night after night, and she al w sys frankly admitted that such would, undoubt edly, be the case, but for the apphuse be stowed upon her by the audiences. ller favorite role, we need not say, is the Grand Duchess of Gerolst(in, which she has rendered famous throughout the world. Strangely enough, when M. OfTenbach first spoke to her about this opera of his, she felt extreme reluctance to having anything to do ith the role assigned to her; she said she did not like it, and was afraid the opera would make a fiasco. The "Court of the Grand Duchess of Ge roistein" consists of six persons—her two sis ters, herfe rime de chambre, a housemaid, a ccuk, and Jean, the Alsatian footman. Tim couk, fbrtunately, understands her business very thoroughly, for Mile. Schneider likes a good table, and is generally blessed with an excellent appetite. Those whom she invites to dinner will have no reason to complain. At her soirees, however, no regular supper is served to the guests, to whom only such re freshments as tea, chocolate, punch, ice cream. tarts, are offered. A great many persons consider Mlle Schneider very rich, and on her supposed wealth have been based many of those calumnies which have been circulated about our Diva. For several years past she has received an exceedingly large salary, every sou of which she has honestly earned. and, although she is by no means parsimonious, she has doubtless laid by quite a handsome sum. She owns also a very fine set of diamonds, and her furniture is very valuable; but all this put together falls very short of the fabulous sums of which rumor has so often and so positively asserted her to be possessed. She spends her money freely, lives in good style, and is exceedingly chari The stories about her keeping a number of thoronghbred horses are, like so many other things told in regard to her, ridiculous inven- THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN---PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 1, 1868. dons. She has not even a carriage, of her own, and that in which she now ,and Alien drives out in the Bois de Boulogne or to Vin cennes, does not belong to 'her, but to her manager, who has courteously plaeed it at her disposal. " Unlike most of her fair , colleagues, she is an early riser, and likes„tio take much exer cise. To the long walks which she is in the habit or taking at an early hour when fash ionable Paris society is still in bed, she as cribes the excellent health which she gene rally enjoys. Owing to the frequent repetition of the op erettas in which she appears, it is seldom ne cessary for her to attend rehearsals, and most of her time belongs to herself. She reads a great deal—not only papers and novels— though she does not deny that she has read and been much interested in Ponson du Ter rali's Rocambole and Gaborian's Crime d'Or sival.—but also works of a more profound character. Of the poets, Victor Hugo is her favorite, and she recites his best pieces with charming grace and expression. She likes to go to the theatre; but, although she is such a clever interpreter of the cothic muse, she prefers witnessing the performance of a trag edy at the Theatre Prawais, or the Odeon, to representations of laughable farces. The so-called spectacular drama she regards with undisguised aversion, and mush prefers the Theatre Lyrique to the Grand Opera and the Theatre des Italiens. Her summer vacation, if she takes any va cation at all, which is by no means always the case, she likes best to spend at Baden, or Ems... Onee she has been at Trouville, but was not much charmed with it,and a sojourn on the seaside, on the whole, is something not very , attractive to her. Sam' Lover and the Irish Novel. The London Review says _ "Lover's 'Handy Andy, fanCiful and ex aggerated as it may seem„ to the English reader, was not untrue in its chief incidents, and was almost literally true in its delinea tion of the principal characters, who were taken from the life. 'Handy Andy' made his dibut in Bentley's lifagazine, , and from its publication Mr.; Lover became a regular contributor to the London periodicals. His health, however, at one time failed him, and he relieved the montony of the work.by con triving an entertainment which was after wards imitated by a host of gentlemen with 'evenings,' portfelios,' and dioramas. It consisted of story-telling and music. Mr. Lover's songs were very graceful and pathetic. He had a fine knowledge of certain touching intervals and minor cadences, which were fairly based upon old Irish airs. Even in the humorous ballads the music had a tinge of melancholy and a sad• under tone. It was essentially popular music, but -of a very different order from the idiotic popular. music which now finds its way into our drawing rooms. The misera ble echoes of •Won't you tell me why,Robin:" and 'Take back the heart,' which young ladies sigh and gurgle from the piano, are poor substitutes for 'True love can ne'er for get,' and 'What will you do, love?" Lover never attempted to write clasaically,but what be attempted he did artistically. His accom paniaments were tastefully composed, and writing the words, as he always did, to the songs, his correct musical Oar prevented him from endeavoring to twist nonsensical and harsh•sounding phrases into his melodies. Even now not a few of his ballads still hold their ground, and in Australia add America they are treated as tenderly as a piece of shamrock brought over from Ireland. "Aut it was not only for the song that Mr. Lover's entertainment was appreciated. He had a felicitous style of delivery, and could imitate. the brogue to perfection. His 'brogue' was far superior to Mr. Boucicault's,although the latter has been a careful student of the accent. Mr. Lover had caught the national brogue. Mr. Boucicault invariably talks like a Wicklow peasant, and his mournful sing song manner would never be heard or recognized in any other part of the island. Then again Lover was happy in his choice of subjects, as long, that is, as he stuck to Irish subjects. The loves of Patrick and Kathleen, tie humor of the fairies, the warnings of the banshees, the wild and beautiful legends with which the Irish peasantry, when they had heart enough left them to tell stories, userl to pass the Hallow Eve and the winter nights, were all familiar to him, and were set by him with a rare and delicate skill. "There is a very singular melancholy in Irish character and in Irish scenery. It is quite different from the melancholy of the llcotch, or the dull gravity to be found amongst some of the English peasantry. When M. A. Titmarsh went through the country, tilling his sketch-book with clever caricatures as well as 'sharp, truthful pictures of the Irish character, he did not fail to ob serve this, and, in a description of' Glenda lough, the satirist (who, like every true sati rist, possessed a profound sensibility in re serve), gives, in a few sentencef, an account of the effect of this melancholy landscape in fluence upon him, in which he is compelled to resort to those words of poetic color which include what Mr. Ruskin terms the pathetic fallacy. Mr. Lover was very suc cessful in his songs and in his tales in repro ducing this sentiment. One of his latest, we are not sure but it is his latest novel, is replete with a feeling of the kind. The work we allude to, 'Treasure Trove,' is one of the best Irish novels extant. It is curious that it should not have been more successful. Without being pervaded by the gloom of either Banim or Griffin, or the blacle'rind white coloring of Carleton, there is a thorough air of acquaint ance with Irish nature and history about it. The character of Thadrig na Phib,' an old blind piper who becomes mixed up with the fortunes of the Pretender, is brought out with great steadiness and power. The book should, however, be read with its illustrations, which we believe were from Mr. Lover's own pencil. It contrasts very favorably in many places with Mr. Lever's work, although it does not show as much care or artistic cleverness. It contains some charming lyrics, which have been reprinted in the late edition of Mr. Lover's poems. "It is to be regretted that Mr. Lover was not a more industrious author, as it was more than probable he could have written better books than he has left us. But we believe his health was one cause of this,and another, we should think, was a personal failing of interest for a country out of which he resided for so long a time, and for whose political condition be entertained a sort of pity mingled with contempt. He used to miss the signs, from what he heard, even of the poetic spirit which was once rife amongo the peasantry. His recollections went back to the period of the St. Omer priest, when Maynooth was not heard of, and when Dublin was a city of some social as well as national consequence. He could remember the time when Buck Whally threw open for three weeks his house in College green to any ladies or gentlemen who chose to walk in for luncheoni l dinner or supper. thick Whkally lived magnificently" in Paris, and described himself as an Irish gentleman who had come to the continent to retrench.' Absenteeism was then compara tively little known, except in the fashion to which Buck Whally was reduced. "Mr. Lover had numberless stories and an ecdotes of those days, of the duels fought in •of the Hell-fire Club, of the wonder elections at which the attorneys had to regu larly charge for 'going out' in the bill of ex penses. Be used to describe with great hu liner and gusto the private theatricals it kenny, where Miss O'Neill, the. famous! ac tress, first met her busband. Ad had a`large steck , of reminiscences connected with the &mints county of Galcfay, its stone walls,the `Blazers,' the heiresses with .fortunes in Chancery,and the extent of cousinship which, rendered the district 'almo'st; ;.patriarchal in some respects. We doubt if there is any Irishman now living who shared Mr. Lover's knowledge of those odd relics of the past, or his power of putting them be fore a listener. ' Therefore it is we regret that be did not leave a record of those memories. What he has done, however,will not be soon forgotten by those who take an interest in the poetry of Ireland. He has per formed no mean . service for his countrymen in rendering familiar to us here not a few of their sympathies and sentiments, which, coming to us in in music and verse of a pleas ing kind, were welcome guests?. He cannot have claimed for him the place of a great poet,but he has a right to the name of a sing er who was as faithful to his native instincts as any lyrical singer who ever wrote. There is a place for .sueli a man, sorely, among the men who have been a credit to Ireland, and it would be a deserved recognition of this if the Irish were to erect some memorial to a writer whose works were racy of the soil on which he was born." Henry IVard Beecher on Art. Mr. Beecher writes in the last number of the Herald of Health : * * * "I have always striven, in my labors, to encourage the development of art love among my peop'e. I have done it par tially to carry out the doctrine that I have followed in my own family. While' was in the West, I found rest from exacting profes sional duties in the fields and in the wrests; but when I came to Brooklyn, and increased the taxation on my brain,and had no retreat, no place to go for relaxation, I felt that my work was becoming tedious and exhausting. And then it was that I began tohuy pictures. At first - I boughta few engravings; and as I could, I obtained now and then a painting that I then thought was beautiful, that I might have something to fall back on .as a means by which to change the state of my feel ings, and that which I did for myself, I also did for my children, believing that it would benefit them as well as me. And then came in a third influence. Finding a large society of men growing up around me who seemed to bid fair to be men of means, I said to myself, `I should be-glad if-I-eould inspire them, in a proper and measured degree, with a taste for these things.' I saw men who had flue horses and carriages, and owned enormous houses filled with voluptuous furniture; who were so rich that they did not know -what to do with their wealth; and who were lavish y • paying out thciir money for things designed merely to make a show: and it seemed'to me that it would be a salutary work if I could infuse into these men a leaven of art love, that should lead them, while they built decorous houses. and furnished them comfortably, to feel that there was nothing after all so good, next to living people, as a sensible and beau tiful picture. "As to how far it is proper for us to go in the expenditure of means for the acquisition of pictures, I think that is a question that is to be determined by whether a man's necessity or hunger is strongest. Ido not meet with any one who finds fault with having the body clothed warmly, or with having the house made warm. Heat and raiment we must have, any how. Then, next, people say we must eat. And it is rather dry business eat ing merely bread; sometimes a little of des sert or sweetmeat helps things to relish. And then it would not do for' persons to be too sweet; there must be some pickle. So when you have gone through what you call a con scientious economical housewife's bill, you will generilly find enough money spent for plums, and peaches, and quinces, and cu cumbers, and mangos, and the husband's ci gars, to buy a thoroughbred good picture once a year. "Now, I ask any conscientious person who may have scruples about laying out money for pictures, this simple question: Where is your taste strongest, in your tongue or in your eye? I would rather go without pickles (which, by the way, I do not like at I all!) the year long, and have a picture, a than to have pickles and go without the picture. "Many people say, 'lt would do for you to have pictures who have the money to buy them.' But I have learned that generally those who have the most money have the fewest pictures. Many people say, 'A, B, and C have a large business, and it will do for them to indulge in such things, but not for me. In the first place, I do not feel able to get them. In the second place, it would hurt my reputation. If' I had pictures in my house, and it was known; the next time I went to get a bill discounted at the bank, the director would say, 'How can you afford to have such pictures in your house ? I cannot afford to have them in mine.' A man that buys pictures, and goes to have his bill discounted, is a man who thinks his taste to be worth as much as any other part of his being, and is generous enough to gratify, it; and the director who complains that he cannot afford to have pic tures is a stingy old hunks. That is the dif ferenje between the two. But how did this man that had his bills discounted get his pi tures? Probably he economized on every side to obtain them. Doubtless every dollar invested in them represented self denial of one appetite and another, and another. He bought them simply because his hunger for such things was stronger than any of his lower desires. And I justify such a person. I say that if you are poor, and are obliged to wear coarser fabrics, to Wear things two years, and to put an extra patch on every boy's knee, and the outcome is that you have, what your rich neighbors have not—a com panion on the wall, that smiles upon you in the morning the first thing after you wake up, and thai,- looks lovingly upon you at night, and t'hu last thing before you go to sleep—you are better off than they." A lt ctv Optical Toy. A. new optical toy called the kinescope is on sale in Paris. It is a microscopic repro duction of the zoetrope, so well known with us. Its most remarkable feature is that the objects in motion appear solid. This is ob tahaed'according to the Scientific Review, by making use of the microscopic photo graphs encased in a little apparatus something like a Stanhope lens, and destined to be worn attached to the watch chain, as an ornament. The effect of motion is produced by the rapid change of position of two images only. The little instrument, or ornament, forms an elliptical medallion, and the two photo-microscopic cylinders occupy the .centre, being perpendicular to the thickness of the medallion. They represent the same object in two positions. The effect is ,produced by a very simple mechanism. The two photo-microscopic cylinders are en %ll3etrin a zulde surrounded by a caoutchoue membrane, on which is placed a vertical rod terminating in a button, which is outside the medallion.

From Northern Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio, had come vast crowds of farmers and others 'to do honor to the chosen candidate of' the people, and when the train of nearly thirty cars arrived with - ittr., - Pelfax',Oti beard, It scene of the Wildest enthusiasm ensued. Mr. Colfax and the invited guests, after they had entered - thevarriages -in • waiting to receive them, were- edetirted‘ In a' tri umphant procession of "different Grant and Col fax Clubs, accompanied by an immense concourse of people, to the ;fair. grounds, Where Col. L. Humphrey, the Mayor of tthe city, welcomed In diana's distinguished son in a neat and appro-, priate address., Mx. Colfax replied_as followe Mr. Mayor and my friends—for I can find no word to address you more correctly than that—. friends of my boyhood days,-4ffende - of my early manhood—friends-ofmyMaturer years—friends who have grappled me to their hearts with hooks of steel—l confess I scarcely know to speak -to you this afternoon in response to this enthusiastic welcome yon have given me. There is one Word In the English language, brief but impressive; it thrills every heart. that is not callous and hard ened; It makes the life blood course through our veins -more rapidly—it is the word "home." There is a volume in it to me. If there is any man in this broad land, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, who has cause to love his home, it is ho who now addresses you. Ever kind, ever con siderate, ever devoted, ever affectionate, when I have come into your midst from the labors to which you bad assigned me, I have met- every , where a generous-welcomer-with- the - heart in the outstretched hand: When the railroad trains sped on Monday last away from the banks of the Potomac, and across the Susquehanna, the crests of the Allechanies and the Ohio, there was one thought that filled me was ;lie thought of my own beloved home onthe banks of the beautiful St. Joe. I have, been absent from -you touch In the past fc'w years, but your friendship has not been measured by my presence with you. Abroad as well as at home, it has upheld me, seeming like a guardian angel to protect me against ene mies as well as danger. When, three Sears ago', in a long and perilous journey through scenes of Indian warfare across our plains, I went to, the Pacific coast—in the bowels of the earth, in the mines which I visited crossing the snow-clad' Sierras Neyadas, far to the northwest on that beautiful Mediterranean of that regicin. Paget Sound. over to the Territory of Queen Victoria on Vancouver's Island, back again to the Isthmus of Panama, almost under the Equator—there was one thought which, as my friend Gov. Bross will tell you—one thought that was ever with us by night and by day, and that was of the loved ones at home. i Cheers.] There is no man that owes more to the people among whom he lives than Ido who speak: to you to-day. • From my earliest residence you have taken me in your arms—taken me in your arms ! oh, no, you have taken me unto your hearts and .Koteeted me against assaults and calumny, on every side, jeal ous of my good name and charaepr as if It were your own. repelling every 31andtif and vindicat ing me before the American people. If I forget ycu may my right hand forget its canning and my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth. I can say in that,beautiful language of Goldsmith, "Wherc'cr I turn—what other realms I see— My heart untrammeled fondly turns to thee." Brit today, with the magnificent demonstra tions which you have made to me of your kind ness, I confess that I come with feelings sad dened and chastened with the thoughts that have been all day uppermost in my mind. There is no man that can appreciate more than I do the generous confidence reposed in me by the repre sentatives of the millions throughout the land who believe in the principles that I have advo cated to the best 3f my ability in placing me side by side with our distinguished commander upon the same national ticket in this great struggle. At the conclusion of, his remarks, Mr. Colfax, was vociferously cheered by his hearers LARCENY.-sfargaret Campbell was arraigned before Alderman Beitler yesterday, at the Central Station, charged with the larceny of sleeve-but tons, ear-rings and studs, the property of Frances Lafferty, residing at No. 615 Locust street. She admitted having taken them, and pawning them for $1 50, at the pawnbroking establishment of a man named Kolback, in the vicinity of Tenth Dud South streets. The pawnbroker stated to the officer that made the arrest that he had no such goods, but, being confronted with the girl, was identified by her as the man with whom sbe had pledged them. A warrant was issued for his ar rest. The accused was committed to answer. LIBERAL BINUESTS.—In the will of Davis Pear son, admitted to probate yesterday, are the fol lowing bequests: To St. Matthew's Lutheran church, to aid in the construction of a new church edifice, 300 shares of the Honey Brook Coal Company's stock, the par value of which is $15,- 000, provided the church shall raise a like amount for this purpose; and to the Pennsylvania Luth eran College at Gettysburg, 400 shares of stock of the same company—par value $20,000--to found a professorship to be named after the tes tator, and to Rev.

It appears that the prosecutor and defendant are employed in the Penn City Iron Works, the latter as a fireman under the former. The defendant came to his work drunk, and was discharged by Bhaff. whom in revenge he beat about the head with an iron bar. He was com mitted to answer in default of $1,500 bail.
