VEMICE.
Certmetthe following-Aeseriptive-imss
from Mr. NY. D. Howells's poem in PuManed Mag
azine, entitled "No Love Lost":
All the sunset bad paled, and the 'ampardll of
Venice - -
Dore like the moats of a mighty fleet moored there
in the 'water.
Lights flashet: furtively to and fro through the
dttpteing twilight
Massed in one thick shade lay the Gs.nlens •
numberless islands ..
Lay 111 re shadows upon the lagoons,
as we loitered
By their enchanted coasts, a spell if ineffable
sweetness
Fell and made us as one with thorn; and silent
sod blissful
Shadows we seemed that drifted on through a be•
. the of shadow,
Vague, indistinct to ourselves, unbounded by hopo
or rem2mtrance.
Yet, we knew the beautiful night as it grow from
the twilight:
Far beneath us and far above us the vault of the
heavens
Glittered and darkened; the moon, that long had
• haunted the daylight,
Wan and thin, then rose 'mid the stars in her ful
ness of splendor;
,And over all the lagoons fail the silvery rain of
the moonbeams
'As in the chaz,sons the young girls sang while
gondolas passed us—
eang in the joy of love, or youth's desire of lov
ing.
Balmy night of the South: Oh nerfect night of
the Summer!
Night of the distant dark, of the near and tender
effulgence!—
How from my despair are thy peace and loveli
ness frightened!
For, while our boat lay them at the will of the
light undulations,
idle as if our mood imbued and controlled, it yet
ever
Beetning to bear us on athwart those shining ex
panses
Ont to shiningseas beyond pursuit or returning.

We sat in Piazza San Marco,

trels were singiug
Airs from the Trovutore. I noted with painful
observance,
With the unwilling minuteness, at such times ab

All that brilliant scene, for which I cared nothing
before me :
Dark-e3ed Venetian leoni regarding the foresticri
With those compassionate loath of gentle and
curious wonder

English, though, after all, with the Channel al

Islanded in themselves, and the Continent's soot

Country-people of ours—the New World's coal

Proad of America always, and even vain of the

As of disaster laid out on a 13C1203 unequalled in
Europe;
Polyglot Russians that spoko all languages better
than natives ;
White-coated Austrian officers, anglicised Ans-
trian dandies,
Gorgeous Levantine figures of Greek, and Turk,
and Albanian—
These ' and the throngs that moved through the
long arcades and Piazza,
Shone on by numberless lumps and flamed round
the perfect Piazza,
Jewel-like set in the splendid frame of tins beau

Full of such motley life, and so altogether Vene

Then, we rose and 'walked where the lamps
were blanched by the moonlight
Flocding the Piuzzetta with splendor, and throw-;
ing in shadow '\
All the facade of Saint Mirk's, with its pillars,
and horses, and arches;
But the sculptured irondage, that blossoms over
the arches
Into the forms of saints, was touched with ten
derest lucence,
And the angel that stands on the crest of the vast
campanile,
Bathed his golden vans in the liquid light of
the moonbeams.
Black rose the granite pillars that lift the Saint
and the Lion ;
Black sank the isl And campanili from distance to
distance ;
Over the charmed scene there brooded a presence
of music,
Subtler than sound, and felt, unheard, in the
depth of the spirit.
NEW riIiBLICEITIONS.
“Putmimls 99 for December.
We have in the December number the com
pletion of the second volume of Putnam'B,
which the publishers declare to be a success
since its re-issue. We congratulate Messrs.
Putnam & Son on this deserved prosperity,
and the public on having re-obtained one of the
most prolific and inventive literary caterers it
has ever had. The list of contents is as fol
lows: "No Love Lost," a romance of travel
in hexameters, W. D. Howells; "A Day of
Surprises" (concluded), Virginia Vaughan;
"Beyond," poem, E. A. Stansbury; "Poetry
of the Alphabet,"Benjamin Blood; "Founders
of Globe City" (concluded), J. O. Culver; "A
Study of Still Life, Paris;" "Letters on
WOman Suffrage" (concluded); "A Pinch of
Salt," Schele de Vere; "One Year more," J.
W. Palmer; "Planchette in a New Character,"
Sydney Hyde; "Stonewall Jacksop," an his
torical study, by the author of "Lost Cause;"
"The Treasury Department," with portrait of
secretary McCulloch; "Monthly Chronicle."
One of the most original of the above arti
cles is Mr. Blood's "Poetry of the Alphabet,"
from which we extract the following para
graphs on the significance of some of the
vowel-sounds :
EXPRESSION OF THE VOWELS
Swedenborg, in endeavoring to de
scribe the language of 'the angels says
the angels that "love most" use much
the sound ; but those that " know
most," the speculative, self-contemplative,
intellectual, use the sound Burns' idea of
i+ was expressed in weeping, "greeting," tears
—the intensity of' grief alone. But it gives
intensity to everything; it gives convergence,
concentration, deep-seeing,and always brings
thought to a focus. All the endearing dimin
utives.end in .—the "wee" things. Mark how
the child shuns the book-orthoepy when he
concentrates his mind: "A le-e-tle, il-ny
bit of a thing !" he peers between his
fingers or through some narrow crevice, and
criesd,g
" he feels the ee of his new
knife r and Writhing the corner of his mouth
toward his half-closed and conceptive eye,
says "it is as (" , -n " So when his' con
tempt is intense he dwells on the e in"me-an"
"sn&aking," &c. But when the baby gives
you his rattle he opens his mouth and his
heart with the instinct of the dative case, and
says "tali ! "—outward and away. (A mother
whose instinct prompts her to say "babe,"
instead of "baby," must have been polished
very thinly.) But me and we bring observa
tion to ourselves. We would be a better ob
jective case than 1.18,—80 much so that a
grammatical informality of Shakespeare has
_passed uncared for,or unnoticed,in"HamTet,"
where the prince speaks of the ghost as
•imaking night hideous, and we fools of nature,
So horribly to shake our disposition,"
1 fancy this, like many another apparent inac
curacy of the master,came through a law that
is above the books.
I, short, as in pin, has a stiff, slim, prim,
thin, spindling effect—a rising and sinking,
perpendicular effect, as in "the bristling
pines;" but more especially it gives a thinness
and lightness- thus, ire say, a "light skiff."
Popsshowedhis judgment upon this letter,as
"When the loud surges lash the sounding shore,
The hoarse, rough verse should like the torrent
roar;
_Not so when ail - ft Camilla scours the plain—
Flies o'er the unbendiog corn, and skims along
the main."
F.o Tennyson, for the fairy bugle, uses
and e. :
"0 hark! 0 hear, how thin and cleat."
I, long, gives inclining effects:
winters when the dismal rain
Comes down in slanting lines"—
And on us
"The clouds consign their treasures to the fields."
In sounds i has a lightening effect, as in
tinkte, clink, link; clank is as the sound of
a sheet of zinc dropt flat on the pavement.
I and a in combination matte a beautiful
curve thus: •
Macy an hour I've wiled away." •
`Swilled by the wild and wasteful ocean."
`Once in the tight of ages past."
'Oh! when shall it dawn on, tho night of the
grave?"
'Oh! wild enchanting horn!" .
Some happier island In the watery waste."
"Athens, and Tyre, and Balbee, and tht waste
Where stood Jerusalem."
0. This is the noblest Roman of them all.
If we would find the most solemn sentence In
all literature,let us turn toEcclesiastes: "For
wan goeth to his long home, and the
pnourners go about the streets." Not all
the trappings and the suits of woe can so pall
the sunlight in the homes and walks of men
as does this sombre verse.
Solemnity and nobility are its , general
effects. All things noble, holy, devotional—
or sober, sombre, slow, dolorous, mournful,
—or old, lone, glorious,—or even bold,
portly, pompous, find their beat expression
in the o-sound. Jove, Jehovah, Lord of
glory, lift up the adoring soul. 0 ! lo ! ho
behold! are interjections which nations use
with little valiance.
"0 sad Nomore ! 0 sweet Nomore !"
"Oh ! Ronne, my country, city of the soul,
The ca ' , hare of the heart must turn to thee."
'•1;( 11 en, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll !"
"Their shots along the deep slowly boom."
"The lowing herds wind slowly o'er the lea,
The ploughman homeward plods his weary
That o
gives volume, may be seen in' the
fact that moat people think a boulder is a
large stone; but,philologically,a boulder need
not be bigger than a pea.
U, gutteral, or flat, is a humorous savage
that cannot be described except in his own
words,—a huge, lubberly, blubbering, blun
dering dunderhead,—a numskull and a dunce,
ugly, sullen, dull, glum, rugged, clumsy,gul
lible, dumpish, lugubrious,—a mumbler, a
atumbler, a bungler, a grumbler, a fumbler,a
grunter, a thumper, a stumper, a tumbler, a
stunner,—a nudge,a trudge, a drudge, he lugs,
tugs, sucks, juggles,—he is up to all manner
of bulls,—a rusty, musty, crusty, disgusting
brute, his head is a mug, his nose a snub or
a pug,—his ears are lugs, his breasts dugs,
his bowels guts, his victuals grub, his gar
ments duds, his hat is a plug, his child
is a cub his smallest diminutive is
chubby, or bub; at his best he is bluff, gruff,
blunt; "his doublet is of sturdy buff, and
though not sword, is cudgel proof;" budge
he will not,but he will drub you with a club,
or a slug, or a nub, or a stub, or a butt, or
pelt with mud; he is ready for a muss, or a
fuss ; and should you call him a grudging
curmudgeon he gulps up "ugh! fudge! stuff!
rubbish! humbug!"in high dudgeon; he is a
"rough," a "blood-tub," and a "bummer," a
"rum un," and a tough customer generally ;
he has some humor, more crudity,but no del
icacy,—a creature whose voice is seldom
beard in walks of refinement and devotion;
of all nations I should take him for a Dutch
man.
From the agreeable sketches of ins and outs
of Paris we extract the following notice of an
old established reading-room dear to many a
scholar in France :
In the heart of the Latin Quarter. half-way
between the Louvre and the Luxembourg,
between the Institute and the Ecole de +de
ckle, lies a little street, that, in itself, is an
epitome of the entire region. It is the Pas
sage du Commerce, that runs from the Rue
de lEcole to the Rue SL Andre des Arta,
parallel to the Ancienne Comedic, like a
Mississippi cut-off, and invested with much
the same charm as renders those satellites of
the big river so delicious; and the main insti
tuticn of the Passage is a famous Salon de
Lecture, the Ancienne Maison Blosse, well
known to several generations of students.
Here they cram hopefully for the examina
tions; hither they retreat dolefully when they
have been plucked, to prepare afresh for the
ordeal. Here they dream day-dreams, in
which visions of past balls and future intor
nats, of coveted microscopes, and actual
pawnbroker's tickets, visions of fame and
love and life, mingle in pleasant confusion,
and dance airily over the ink-stained tables,
before eyes that are supposed to be absorbed
upon expositions of the Droit des Gens,or the
knottiest problems of pneumonia.
Two long, low rooms, and a smaller inter
mediate for newspapers—all lined with old
books, blackened by time and much service.
Here are numerous shelves, occupied by
Sirey's Jurisprudence—a perfectly exhaustive
work, to judge by its mass, and calculated to
make all lesser treatises blush at their own
insignificance. Above, the Code Napoleon
perpetuates the glory of its all-meddling
creator, while opposite, in serene indifference
to parvenue legislation, the Pandects of Jus
tinian hold their own across a dozen cen
turies. Bound volumes of the Journal des
Tribunaux fraternize in professional cour
tesy with the Archives de Medicine.
Bouillaud's treatises continue to pro
claim the lancet as the only salvation of man
with all the heroic truculence distinguishing
the aged professor at La Charlie. There are
books that have created awful fame for their
authors, the writings of Dessault and Dupuy
tren, of Louis and Broussais and Magendie,
and the immortal Anatomie of Bichat. At
appropriate intervals a small current of mod
ern volumes filters into the library, mono
graphs written by newly-elected professors,
upon whose theories, whoso would not be
plucked, must absolutely take care to post
himself. There are newspapers, also, for the
occasional relaxation of studious brains. Bat,
after all, novelty is never very prominent,and
never succeeds in overpowering the general
air of well-seasoned age proper to the estab
lishment.-
From Mr. Hyde's testimony about Plan
chette, we present the following anecdotes,
for what they may be worth :
Our Planchette' came to us about a month
ago. It is one of the simplest description, an
unpolished heart-shaped board of black wal
nut, with brass pendergraph-wheels. It was
purchased at a bookstore, in a neighboring
town, and began to work immediately for a
young girl of nineteen called, systematically,
"the Flirt," by this incorrigible giver of
s'ibriquets; and myself upon whom it at once
bestowed the nickname of "Clarkey," a face
tious rendering of my patronymic Clarke, to
which it has.constantly adhered to. One of the
party, a calm, dignified lady of the Society of'
Friends for whom it condescends to work, is
distinguished habitually as "the Angel." The
bead of the house is only known to it as
"Hon. Clarke," while one of the younger
members of the family, for whom it writes
singularly well, is always called "the Boy of
Eighteen, 'to the supreme annoyance of his
budding manhood.
THE DAILY EVENING, BULLETIN-PHILADELpIA, TUESDAY, NO VEMIUR 17, 1868.
THE "MnisoN BLOSBS
' For certain people, such as the Flirt or the
Angel, it will always answer, though it is
-sometimes--sharp, and—frequentlyrefuses.A3_
repeat an illegible word. On being twice
interrogated with regard to a subject, it re—
plied, tartly, "I hate to be asked if ram sure
of a fact." And once, whim it desired H3n
Clarke to lay his hands•upon it, and there
was a misunderstanding to whom it required,
it wrote, frantically, in huge letters,
"Clarke! !!"
It will occasionally write for three people,
when it refuses to work fore two, "on the
principle," to `quote its own explanation
of the fact, "that three heads are better than
two, even if one is a sheep's heal"
_lt is remarkably ready at a definition, far
exceeding any one of us in the terseness and
clearness'of its ideas.
IJomceopathrit calla "sugared sweetness,
which pamper‘the taste, and satisfies the
constant desire of men to be doing something
for each small ailment'.' Dreams, , it. says are
"a prolongation and confusion of the ideas
and actions of the day;" or, "of what hap
pened in a past state.".
It has given us several poems of its, own
composition; short, to. be sure, and not al
ways perfectly rhythmical: but it is fond of
asserting its authorship,by writing after them,
"This is perfectly original"—a fact that no
ono who reads them would ever doubt. The
following is an instance :
"A maid sat on yo shore,
Watching the ocean's roar,
She thought of him who, far away,
Would come to her one joyous day,
And say, we part no more."
Q, "Whence do you derive your ideas ?"
"From all the company. I generally
receive the impression of the strongest mind."
Q. " Whose is the strongest mind among
us ?"
P. " Yours is the strongest mind awake;
the other is sleeping."
At this point we turned, and discovered
that the Hon. Clarke had fallen into a doze
on the sofa; of which fact we, entirely ab
sorbed in the questions and answers, were
completely ignorant.
It is much to be regretted that we have not
had more opportunities for trying the effect
of different combinations upon the machine;
as, upon one occasion, curious results were
produced by a stranger, who, after watching
Planchette's evolutions for some time, placed
his bands upon her with the Flirt. A remar
kable perturbation at once took, place. The
instrument dashed violent backward and for
ward across the paper, and wrote, with im
petuous vehemence, in letters of great
size, "It is too strong; leave off, Aff; off !"
an became completely uncGlitrollable.
not only for the moment, but for three
days after, though the gentleman departed at
once; reufsing to write anything but non
sense, even with those for whom it had pre
viously responded; and covering the paper
with scrawls, and the words, "Hall, Hall,
Hall," the name of the gentleman who had
bewitched it. It tore holes in the paper with
the point of the pencil, jumped up and down
on one leg, and even ran off the table several
times. It had, during this attack, which it
called its "sickness," moments that it called
its "lucid intervals," during which it ex
plained that it must be .eft on the table, that
the false magnetism might "run off through
the lege."
We find this number, the prose portion of
it at least. rather inferior; the great recom
mendation, of course, lies in Mr. Howells's
poem, than which we have seen nothing
more easy, spirited and full of the best kind
of feeling, since Clough's "Toper-na-Fuosich."
corrupting Influence of Neurgalte Lit
Another illustration of the corrupting influ
ence of highwayman literature has been seen
in the vicinity of the town of Newbury, Eng
land. Several persons have recently been at
tacked on the neighboring roads, after dark,
by a man in a mask,wbo, by the gentle logic
of a levelled pistol, has induced them to pay
unwillingg tribute in the shape of money,
chains, &c. One evening, however, the rob
ber found more than his match. He de
manded contributions of a young man named
Syndell, who was not content to yield either
his valuables or his life. He accordingly
struck aside the rullians's arm, causing the
pistol to go off in the air, and, seizing hold of
the highwayman by the waist, detained him
until,by the help of others,he was enabled to
lodge him in the lockup. Tae delinquent
proved to be a youth of nineteen, by trade a
painter, and by external appearance a very
inoffensive fellow —so inoffensive, indeed,
that the police had never suspected him in
connection with the robberies.
This amiable lad had been "keeping com
pany" with a servant girl, and to her he had
given, as delicate tokens of his affection,
divers numbers 'of two romances, entitled
`The Black Highwayman' and 'Black Bess,
or a Knight of the Road,' some portraits of
Dirk Turpin, and a colored illustration ()Pone
of the stories. The young fellow had further
more adopted the flash name of a favorite
character, and had told some of the persons
whom he had stopped to report that they had
been in the hands of "Captain Hawk." The
captain, no don bt,regarded himself as a high
spirited, noble fellow, with a soul above
painting,and a special genius for the elegant
pursuit of highway robbery. The mischievous
books he had been in the habit of reading had
distorted his moral sense, and his common
sense as well; and they have performed the
like evil service for a great many other per
sons, of whom we hear from time to time.
Ascents oft the ffifttterhorn.
A correspondent of an English paper writes
from Switzerland:
"From Herr Seiler, now the landlord of
the two hotels at Zermatt, 1 learned that, in
all, seven ascents of the Matterhorn had been
made this summer. It can be ascended from
the Italian or the Swiss side, and' a strong
controversy and rivalry exist as to these re•
spective routes. It is not easy to acquiesce
in the opinion of the Zermatt guides that the
route is preferable from their side. Probably
the best course is that which Dr. Tyndall, I
believe, adopted, viz., to ascend by the
Italian and to descend by the Zermatt side. I
was informed that there are huts now on both
sides, erected for the lodgment of climbers
during their first night. From Zermatt I be
held the light shown by the before-named
party at night, and it shone down on Zermatt
like a low-placed, brilliant star. The Italian
hut is, I believe, higher up on the mountain
than the Swiss,though both are undistinguish
able from below.
"Three of the Zermatt guides especially
dedicate themselves to mounting the 141Atter
horn. Great, strong fellows are' they, and
high is their price, viz.: 100 fram for each
guide --- I'wenty francs is their feel' ho hut,
or cabane, and back; and I fancy thlt this
latter expedition will become a favorite one to
moderate climbers. From all I could ascer
tain, no climbers ever stay long on the sum
mit, even when they have attained it. The
mountaineer before alluded to assured me the
cold was so intense that he could not remain
much more than ten minutes on the top. A
cold north wind (the moat favorable wind for
clear weather being a north wind) very fre
quently sweeps this summit, and, indeed,.
the summits also of the neighboring moun
tains; and no man but an Esquimaux in na—
tive dress could stand long in such a wind on
such a height. However, the view is not
the chief object of mastering the Matter
horn.
"One cause of fear naturally suggests itself
while thinking of the ascent. As it is now an
achievement which has passed out of the
category of impossibles, it may too rapidly
pass into that of the easy practicable& The
latter it can never be. It seems, trom all that
is testified by the successful climbers, to
in the final ascent at least, very ardnOus and
rather dangerous. it. can only , be safely dons
An fine weather, and bY men In good train
ing. The frequency with whielf - It may bi
done under such favorable conditions is apt
to mislead the inexperienced. Hence it is to
be, feared that more accidents may happen on
this majestic mountain of melancholy noto
riety. While the attempt is made only by ex
perienced mountaineers and '4good rock
mounters all may go well, but if a ti_Aber of
novices or incapablea make foolzet them
selves on the 'litalterborn, there will
soon be more than twd or three graves, hear
leg the inscription, of 'Killed on the Mit
terhorn,' in the . churchyard at
Zermatt."

How 'Macy Voted in Vennessee—Curb.
ous Scenes at the rolls.
A coarespondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial writes from Jasper, Tennessee, the
following account ot scenes at the polls on
election day:
"Yonder comes an old gray-headed white
man; in politics, he goes under the genuine
name of rebel, for he sympathized with the
South in her futile struggle. He approaches a
little crowd of disfranchised, and is saluted
with, 'Well, Uncle. Billy, how are you going
to vote?' This interregatory was a tgoak,' for
every one knew that the old man could not
vote. But he answers:
" `Oh, of course I can't vote at all, but if I
could put one in for Grant;l would, sure. We
want peace. , Groot is a good man, and as
good a Democrat as I want, and he will be
elected. Peo'ple have confidence in` him.
The Radicals have disfranchised me, but if I
could I would vote for their, man.'
"A negro comes in who' has never voted
before. He puts his hat 'under his arm, and
_acts timidly, _One of the judges motions him
up, ands nods him a ball 9t.._ Are Aakes it-with
a nervous gnarl, and looks around as if he
did not know what to, do with it. ..,, „
"'Hand it to that man, there,' says` one Of
the judges and the voter does so without ever

it would have been all the same to
"A very dark looking white man comes up

" 'Not quite;' say-the judges; and the black
white man laughs, and walks out.
"A. : young colored man,.,whp probably
never exercised the right of suffrage before,

Personal Gossip from Washing n.
The Washington correspondent of the St.
lmnis Democrat says the National Intelli
genver is about to die, and telli a number or
stories concerning the proprietors of - that
journal, President Johnson and others—thns:
TILE END 0# TILE INTELLIGENCER
"I dislike newspaper talk, when there is
any excuse for avoiding it, but among the
results of this election will be a catastrophe
significant to Washington ana journalism—
the fall of.the Intelligencer.
"The National Intelligencer, an old and
esteemed organ of estimable men, has fired
its last mercenary shot upon the progress of
the nation and the race, using the capital city
as a port hole. It is pavement talk that it is
in debt fifty thousand odd dollars to one
Polkinhorn, a retired job printer, who has
foreclosed upon it, and the sequel lies in
Bulwer's interrogatory, 'What will he do
with it?'
"The ostensible owners of the Intelligen
cer are Snow, Coyle & Co. Mr. Snow is' a
gentleman, traveling between New York and
Washington.. bir, 'Johnny' Coyle was a clerk
and confidential cashier in the office of that
better Intelligencer owned by the brothers
in-law,Gales and Seaton.
"The latter were 'high-toned' Englishmen
—to use a pro-slavery phrase—who took no
note of' money and never kept an account be
tween themselves. Each man drew from the
common fund enough for his wants; they
spent nothing for intelligence, rather disdained
news—like some of the British reviews—and
pensioned off their old servants, took care of
them when sick, and otherwise attempted to
engraft upon American typography some of
the imitations of patronage common to Eng
lish estate owners. The result was that the
Intelligencer obtained respect and lost
money, except for the charity of Congress.
its proprietors , failed once in, publishing the
debates of Congress, and when they went - to
retire at last, Mr. 'Johnny' Coyle became the
working head of the new concern.
MR. JOHNSON- AND ELECTION
On election day the White House wore
much of the look of a jail where there is a
man condemned. Now and then you could
see enter and emerge Mr. Wright Rives, oae
of the sons of old Blair's partner; Mr. Billy
Moore, a good-humored young fellow, also a
Secretary; also Mr. Worden, the phono
grapher, a shrewd and pleasant gentleraan.
The President himself wore a mahogany
complexion. As the returns appeared suc
cessively he regaled himself, and indalged
- himself about nine o'ciyek in the following
oration, which I must beg his pardon for de
clining to credit to my informant:
"*Well, sir! Lord--knows I have done
my best to stem tuis torrent of Radi
calism!'
"'Yon have, indeed, Mr. President!'
" 'Anything short of violence I have in
terposed ! My instruments have been mighty
frail. Sir lin this broad nation there are
precious few- people who are capable of
taking'a very little responsibility. I know,
because I've tried !em! They've all broke
down ! some from vanity, some from rash
ness, some from one thing, some another !
That's what's the matter: The people are
mad. - Most of 'ern approbate my adminis
tration,but• they can't get out of the influence.
The Yankees have put beech nuts under the
saddles oe citizens. Everything is running
-off ! Yes, it ! everything has already run
off. Fill u , ' fill np ! It's all run off !'
fll
"Meantime, Mr. Fred Seward took dinner
with Colonel John_ Hay, Linenla's private
secretary, just returned from Austria.
•The departments here were nearly empty
of occupants. The citizens took to patroll
ing the streets at night,: but few manifested
any interest at the result, the conclusion
seeming to be foregone. Four months now
remain before inauguration, and the indica,-
tions are that there will be such a rash for
office as seldom marked:any adminisrration.
LOVE IN THE WHITE nor3E KITCHEN.
"I was hearing plentiful gossip upon
Washington the other day, from an ,old lady
resident, when she alighted upon this anec
dote of romance, associated, with the official
term of John Quincy Adams. Mrs. Adams
was a haughty 'woman, .and her favorite
nephew was one Ben Johnson Hellen, a
young law student or lawyer. Hellen going
often to the 'White House, saw there as a
domestic or servant of his aunt a very
beautiful wish girl. Mrs. Adams suspected
nothing of his susceptibility, till one Sunday
night it was reported to, her that her nephew
was escorting the beautiful 'Biddy' home
from church. She upbraided the girl severely,
who replied that she could not prevent Mr.
Hellen from following her in the street. The
youngman was debarred from seeing the girl
for a good while, till one day she disappeared.
Mr. Hellen had married her. She lived in
retirement in this city many years, and her
children rank among the most excellent and
reputable citizens here. Of these there
were half a dozen distinguished for
their appearance and character. Clifton
Hellen, one of them, was for a while
law partner of General Thomas Ewing.
One of the girls married Attorney Fant, of
Richmond. The father is dead. If living he
would boa septuagenarian. I save this piece
of Kitchen Cabinet history, and bequeath it
to that promised Jenkins who shall swoop
upon the Cold clothes of antiquity some day,
and trace the holders thereof down to their
button-makers. Mrs. Hellen is still living in
this clty, a stone's throw from the general
Post Office, and her children were staunch
and, splendid Unionists during the war, wor
thy to rank with the legitimate Adams family.
Mrs. Adams never forgave her nephew for
loving her housekeeper, and the event east,a
shadow upon that adminiStration. But who
is the worst at this distance—rather, who is
not better that all this occurred?"
°bleed white man and an enfranchised black
man. The white man is trying to get his
African brother to vote for Seymour. Listen:
"'Yost know the rebels' are just AS good
- friends as youhave got; now comer—
; "'No, tbar ain't no lase talking. I ain't
going to vote , for old,Stillmore, and have my
bame - sent rip to Washington city in everlast
ing disgracement: - I votes for Mr. Grant
every time.'
"The white man goes off in quest of softer
material, and the black man goes to the polls
and votes for 'Mr. Grant.'.
"Says an ex-rebel captain to me: 'Do you
seetthat black boy over there? He was raised
by me, and is one of the best servants lever
bad. He was in the war with me from first
to last, and accompanied me home after the
surrender. Many times when our regiment
would go into battle, he would take a gun
and go along by my side. But lately
be got into the league, and now votes
the straight radical ticket. I asked him
if be wanted to come to the election to-day;
he said that he did, and I told him to coma.
I have never said a word.to him as to how he
intended to vote. Two other negroes on my
piece said they didn't want to come, and could
make it pay better by staying at home. I told
them that they were sensible, and that's all I
have ever said about politics , to any of the
negroes upon my place. I would not influ
ence their vote it I could.'
"At three o'clock the Sing is about
through with, and the negro leave for their
homes, singly and in group They manifest
no desire, like their white brethren, to stay
and hear the returns.
"At four o'cloCk the polls close. The vote
is counted and stands: Urant,223; scymour,4.

Mow They Lost Their Interests.
IFtom the Virißeatusin (641vraukeo), Nov.
One day last week there Was'over'in one
of the Wardsa little scare among the Ger
mans, and quite a number of them rushed
pell-mell to the bank where they had de
posited their saving,s, to get it out before "de
bank he go bust like duader." Many of these
deposits bad been in the bank three, four and
five months, and as the call was made the
Cashier told the capitalists:
"The rules of the bank will not allow inte
rest to be paid on these certificates unless
they have been held for six months. You can
have your money, but the bank can pay you
no interest."
"Yaw, yaw, dat is goot—we wants our
moneys—we care notings spout 4 9 interest—
we wants our moneys."
The money was paid over, and the happy
Germans, who really expected the bank was
to close on their heads, found themselves in
possession of from $3OO to 1,000 safe in their
pockets.
Safe ! Well they had it sure ; but then
there came the stories of house breakers who
came in at night and went into every corner
of your little domicil and found any bon& or
money that you had and carried it all away
without giving you even a certificate for it—
and of men who went about at night and if
they thought you had any money about you,
tapped you not lightly on the head with a
brickbat; and if yon awoke at all it was to
find your poor body in the .canal and your
money all gone.
These pictures were too vivid for the capi
talists, and they saw the necessity of putting
the money in a safe place. There was in the
ward a well-to-do German, an officer and
stockholder in the bank, and to this gentle
man the Germans all made their way.
"Sere is our nionish," they, said, "we no
wants hina—sO keep him."
"I do not want it," said the gentleman, - "I
have as much money now as I can take care
of. Why not put it irt_the bank."
"Nix, nix—de pank he go pust and den we
lose him. Nix, nix, you keep him."
There was no resisting the appeal so ur
gently made and the gentleman had nothing
to do but receive the money and send it to
the bank again. By Saturday night the poor,
excited fellows learned that the bank had not
closed and did not intend to, and more, that
they had lost the interest on their money
when there was no reason for so doing, and
the bank had the benefit of the money all the
time. Such "runs" are a great deal better
for the "park" than for , the — peoplee who
run it.
Tits Spanish revolution has filled the Re
publicans of Paris with fresh hopes, and a
great many Republican clubs will presently
be reorganized in the French capital. The
present Prelet de Police, whose utter inca
pacity has been abundantly demonstrate d for
the last two years, Will be dismissed, and
young Baroche, who is as able as he is un
scrupulous, will be appointed in his place.
It is he who fought a duel with Rochefort
because the editor - of the Lanterne had
pointedly alluded to him as a "minister's
thieving son. - Rouher and Pinard din it
constantly into the Emperor's ears that
it would be sheer weakness on his
part now to add to the :littOrties of
the country; but the new school of
Bonapartists, such as old De Sarcy',„„Baudril
lart, Michel Chevalier, and Cutheval-Clarig
ny, implore him to grant extensive reforms,
as the only means of saving the throne.
Their opinion is endorsed by Prince Napo-
Icon and his friends. The Empress is bewil
dered since the sudden and unexpected do mn
fall of Isabella of Spain, whom, incredible as
it may seem, she always looked upon with
something like reverence. She has lost her
presence of mind, and her confidence in the
stability of the Empire. Napoleon, on his
part, has grown more taciturn than ever. His
very confidants are unable to get anything
satisfactory out of him, and while some say
that he is devising some new coup by which
the attention of the French people is to be
averted from the affairs of Spain, others con
tend that he does not know what to do, and
is waiting for something to turn up. •It is
said in Paris that Rothschild considers the
political prospect in France stormy, and has
recently sold all his Free ;h recites, the G -
vernment making large purchases in order to
counteract this movement and to prevent the
breaking -out of a panic -at the Bourse.
AN AM EIZICAN was traveling lately in
Spain, and Saw a number of peasants engaged
in what they called agriculture, not far from
the railroad. Two bullneks, with a thing at
tached to their bodies that must have been
meant for a plough, were "standing by," in
Captain Cuttle's sense of.the phrase, talking
to one another confidentially, as idle bullocks
vili do--anal no doubt•in this instance they
talked in pure Castilian. As the train'crawled
up, the peasants who had been pretending to
work stopped to, have a look at the passen
gers and the panting,lubberly locomotive,and
lighting their cigarettes scowled fatslly upon
-this emblem.of sloe .progress.,,lt •soon puffed.
past them, - but they continued to puff where
they were and presently to pretend to work
once more. They were removing stones from
the fields,in the forlorn hope of finding a soil at
least ,on which to grow something; and in a
couple of 'hundred" years, the American's
friend who, traveled with him, thought they
might riossibly attain something like,success
in the realization of their project. But the
American hihiself, who remembered the
prairies of Illinois and lowa, and who, was
thoroughly broken-spirited with the country
and the people, cbserveci with. animation:
"Why;'' air; .those ':tawny l cusses may go .on
picking up and sifting , those eternal stones
right downle ,the koinal ; of this , universal
earth before they'll find a pinch of soil big
enough to, grow: ah-eaclofgarlic on,and then
they won't.r." And these fellOWO and this
scene are 6, iamblo - „of 6paniah fartilers and
farming.
