in the Stall nv Kentucky), Dec.' 28. 1868.
The President's Amnesty Proclamation
awakened in my buzzum the most poignant
pangs., ~,I bed bin Bggerin for some. days
prior to Christmas ez to how I wuz to raise
capitatpenffp gobate the trosery blots In
Noo York, knowin, ez I did, that that alone
wood save me from destitooshen and distress,
nay more.;—from positive atarVashen. When
a Dimociatie Politishin is' played•out (i3r, the_
vulgar term Is in this part uv the heritage)
everywhere else, be naterally grayitates to
Nori 'York, ez there is more to steel,and more
facilltleador ,Asteelin it there than' in any ,
other.place in the world. Sam. Cox is In
Noo'York. Elsewhere to live'onto the public
requires some acootnis—some finonstiel
skill==liere- it - Is simply boldin peratiosers
wick make money into. a vice, and sqneezin

doose to any rilarmin extent. So easy is it,
that 'waist I wuz guilty iof a most terrible
weaknia. When I wuz in the full confidence
uv His 'Eggslency and consekently Pot so
bard up ez lam now t I. wuz 'in• Noo York
wunst, and was enjoym ;a 'conyivyal °yenta
with a number uv gentlemen ,wich wuz a

Money so easy brings no good with it.

who lin swore not to lend me ' and , there's

too mitch c ilke stealin. Take it back,"
And they did take it back, dividin it be
tween'theirselves.
But ez 1 • hind determined to go to Noo
York and ez I must hey capital to go 02, I
hed tenelooded to go to Waiihinton for a
bree,fseason, and embark into the pardon
brokerin ;biznis. Jest ez I hed fully deter
mined'onto this,in comes this Amnesty Proc
lamshen, and that idea wuz dished. In my
wrath I timed A:Johnson for knockin the
last prep out from.under me, and in my rage
I wrote a most scathin letter, denouncia it, to
a freed uv mine Who hez the ear, uv His Eg
gslency. His answer in some measure cooled
my anger, viz:'
Wnrre House, (With is the Executive

unjust than them wich yoo:hey', piled onto
our mutual friend, A. Johnson. - E f you don't
beleeveit'ask Mrs. Cobb. The fact is the
pardon biznis, ez a biznis, was played out a
yeeingo. Every Constooshiel Sopern man
wichlied the cash about his,person to prow:tor
a pardon with, and wuz ambishus uv hevin
that accument about him. prokoored it long
ago. , Ef you don't believe it ask Mrs. Cobb
The Weis wez a good' one while it lasted,and
then 'wuz when yoo abood , hey struck in. It
required 000 to sekoor the services uv them
wich' bed the ear of ais,Eggalency,%nd ez ther
wuz thousands uv Constoostinel Union mon
which served under Lee and Boregard who
wanted pardons that they mite run for Con
gris, hey Post Of and sich,money come in
lively.' *Ef yoo don't believe it ask Mrs.
Cobb. , But this class wuz eggsausted long
since, „,There wuz no more uv em over wich
to eggstend Execootive mercy, the quality ea
wick', &mot strained. Jeff Davis coodent be
askt ter money for a pardon, nor cood any
nv them wich distinguished themselves in the
late onpleasantnis. In sooth they woodent
ask for a pardon. They felt that they had
done no wrong—but on the contrary, that
great wrong bad bin done them. They were
willin to magnanimously forgive the Federala,
but shied they ask to be forgiven ? , UV
conies not. , ..
We; and by we I mean them •wich lied the
remain uv the pardon biznis, hed every facil
ity given ns. Ef yoo don't beleeve it ask Mrs.
Cobb. .So long ez there wuz a dollar to be
Ind, we , got that dollar. When we lied
squeezed all the joose there wuz in that parti
keler lemon wet less mod His Eeg,slency do
than to give away the dry peel? How gin-•
rons to extend mercy free gratis to them wich
hedn't stamps to buy it with! Wat wuz the
yoote uy holdin the terrors uv the law over
men uv whom notbin can be made? Ef
there wuz moth er man in the Confedracy
who hed a dollar and who cared a 800 markee
about a pardon, that Proelamashen wood
never hey bin ishood, pervidin A. Johnson
hed allend wich needed that dollar. Ef yoo
don'tteleeve•it ask Mrs. Cobb.
I woulden't come to Washington—it ain't
no yooae. My eggaperience hez bin' the eggs
perience uv thousands. I went up to the
headquarters uv General Grant, and intima
ted that I wood accept a posishen under him,
despite his goin back onto the Di 019C
risy, by takin, first, a posishen in the Fedral
army, and second, by takin the nomivashen
uv President at the hands up the Republikia
party. I wuz that mornin, yoo see, in a for
givin mood. Wet wuz the result ? Why I
wuz shoed the door, with the onfcelin re
mark that when the Government waned me
the Government wood go to any amount uv
pains to find me. And I saw thousands uv
Abliehnists treeted the same way.
Mrs. Cobb hez, made up her mind not to
live in Virashington, and Mrs. Perry likeiVise.
Mrs. Perry is penitent. From the fact that she
wuz arrestid in the streets uv Noo York, I
conelood that she , is tryin to reform and hez
made progress.
Pcan't Bay whether Randall and Welles
will; go to Greenville, Tennessee, with His
Esgslency, or not. It wood be well ef they
did. A. J. coed doubtlis git to be Mayor ,uv

ART IT MS. .
WATER.COLOR.--The ' Albion notices` the
advance of -water-color art ',in, frivor anions
the knights of the brush iq New York. It is,
about two yens since the Amerion Society
of Painters in'water-cOlors was formed in the
Secretary's studio No. 4267- Broadway, in
that city. At the initiatory meeting, only a
half dozen enthusiastic apostles of the move
ment were present. Now, however, this new
and fascintiting branch; of art 'numbers some
fifty disciples; and several of our best known
and, most talented , artists, last summer, de
voted their exclusive attention to the , produc
tion of Pictures in water-colors. Moreover,
the society has issued its circular announ
cing the second , annual exhibithin in
the galleries 'of the `National Academy
of Design, from the 21st of January
until the 4th of March, 1869 / inclusive. Much
enthusiasm has characterized the movement
thus far, but there haveteen adverse •cirduni
stances which have more than neutralized the,
enponkerdent extended, • towards the pion
eers of this beautiful department of art. First
and foremost, a • wide-spread impression
seems to obtain that Water Colors are not
permanent; and that, consequently the pro
dnctions themselves are not worth more than
half tbe price of similar paintings in oil. That
both, these , positions are utterly fallacious, it
is the object of the article to show.
!The Albion,on these questions, quotes the
words of tProf. Aaron Penley, an English
critic : "Is water color permanent ?" asks
Mr. Penley. "How frequently, is this ques
tion put to artists by those' lovers of art who
have it in their power to form collections that
shall comprise the Works of our leading men.
It 'is untortunately a most serious question,
proceeding es it does from an established
prejudice against the art. There are very
many who are, kept from indulging in this
beautiful art,
i from the idea of its being fugi
tive. This s a fallacy, and one that should
not be suffered to exist. In reply to the
question as to the permanency of water color
painting, we unhesitatingly answer: It is'
permanent, and that in the strictest sense of
the term. I believe it• to be pre-eminent in
this quality over every other kind of painting,
provided -care be taken to employ those
colors only that are acknowledged to be
durable." ,
Fielding, too, in his work on water color,
tyrites: "The oldesrpaintings in oil are not of
higher date than the time of John Van Eyck
(400 years); and 'of those there are only a
erhali number to be found, and they will not
bear any comparison as to condition with the
miniatures and other moments still existing
in missals not much less than a thousand
years old." Another distinguished authority,
residing in this city, speaking of the popular
notion that water colors are apt to fide, Bays:
"Now this is entirely a mistake. Water
color has a great advantage over oil in its
purity, there being no oils or varnishes to
come to the surface to mar the original pu
rity of the tint. One of the most striking in
stances of this fact are the frescoes (water
color) of Giotto* in then Campo Santa of
Pisa. Exposed as they are to the open air,
and the general decay so great, that the very
walls on which they are painted are crum
bling away, they stand apparently as fresh in
color as the day they were painted—while
beside them hang oil pictures painted a cen
tury or more after, that are one indistinguish
, able blur from corner to corner."
t •Fttor on the part of the "other diettnguished author
, ity." Ihe frescoes in Campo canto are by Itenoazo
zoli, and others: none me by Giotto.
The museum at Madrid, though isolated
and comparatively unknown, is one of the
very finest in Europe, not only in its special
ity of the Seturistr.sctiool, but in Lab an works.
It contbins, for instance, a replica of Leon
ardo's Gioconda, Which contests the palm
wit that pride of the Louvre. Thege, paint
ing have not been much copied,nor engraved,
near reproduced in photograpl4. Mr. Clifford,
a photographer, on a late visit to Spain, ob
tained permission to copy a considerable
number of pictures of the Spanish masters,as
well as of those by the Italian artists in the
Madrid collecti6n. Among the photographs
are several from the works of Goya, which
are very curious. Goya was one of the later
painters of Spain,who flourished there before
the fine arts fell into that state of extinc
tion from which they have just re
vived. Some of them are strangely
grotesque, and of several it is difficult
to divine the subject. The life of Goya
was as wild and stirring as that of Cellini in
Italy, or as that of any hero of romance. We
have no objection to advertising the store
keeper who exposes these rarities.—Mason,
94 4 President street, Brooklyn.
A recent sale of modern pictures held at
Paris produced the .following prices: "Christ
Bearing the Cross," by Delaeroix, $1,600;
two tar dacapes. by Th. Rousseau, $4,000 the
pair; "The Setting Sun.,' by Dupre, $1,960;
"Tee Ambuscade," by Fromentio, $1,120;
"The Pillage of Rome," by Robert Fleury,
$1,200. Seversl others by minor artists re
alized proportionate prices, Vat all were low
in compariSDll to those obtained during last
year.
The sculptures from Halicarnassus, which,
on their arrival in London, were deposited in
temporary sheds preeted for their .reception
outside the British Museum, are now in pro
cess of removal to the interior, and will be
disposed of in the Egyptian,Elgin audit - moan
galleries. In the Homan gallery an addi
tional slielf has been provided for a number
of ancient busts, and the walls are colored to
a higher shade of red, adapted to give effect
to the marbles. A. statue of Hadrian, from
, Cyrene, of great antiquity, is , •also placed in
this galiery. Some very interesting statues
from the recently-acquired Fannie collection
have been arranged in the Egyptian Sttloco;
the beyssi, relieve an
a l detached friezes, to
gether with a figure of Mercury, and the
ancient copy of the famous Diadermenos, are
now exhibited in the different sculpture gal
leries.

But there are some boys whose career I
could almost , prophesy from the time of my
first raNklng their acqUaletance: Robert
Goodboy, for 'Mance.,ldiater Debby was
one_of Wee wonders seldom intrusted to the
care of sceptical and inconsiderate dominies,
The list of his perfections, summed up to me
by his mamma when she first brought hid to
school, was something truly amazing, and
only to be equaled by the freeh springs of vir
tue which she discovered in him from time to
time, and duly informed me of on visiting
days, Normhen came to know the prodigy,
did I find these perfections so imaginary as
they are in the minds of most fond mammas.
He was a painfully good boy. He never was
idle or rlOg.hty; at least he never was fouid
out. Ile'alwaya learned his lessons well,
and-got all the prizes. Be never wasted his
time in shouting, or scrambling, or wrestling,
with the other boys. He never went home
, .with collor crushed or his' trousers muddy.
He was always so neat,and clean and proper-

would far rather' see a boy learn than all the

I can't say I was sorry to pari' with my
friend Master Ooodboy, though he had gained
me so much credit in the eyes of his admiring ,
parents and friends. 'Of' many beys I take
leave with dread. and runic% loving them
ra t uch,,and kriowinF . that their hearts are
weak, and their passions 'strong. But I had
,no teal. for his welfare. , From his infancy,
success in life had been the object held up by
his judicious father for hini to' aspire to, and
I felt sure that in one sense of the ward he
would be snecessful in life, and `I was right.
He distinguished himself .'at the -univeraity,
and became a lawyer, and a most able, and
diligent one. He grew into practice and a
large income, and is now• known all over the
city as a most respectable and wealthy man,
and Is bringing up a large family to walk in
the same paths 'of propriety and pros
perity. He is also a great man in
a certain section of the religions
world, whose views he -adopted early in life,
and therdapon began to shun. my acquaint
ance and to speak doubtfully of my moral
character, professing to have'diaeovered that
I wail unsound in my viewS of ustifthation
by faith. A. moat respectable an d'honorable
man, no doubt, but L never --heard of his
making a friend or doing an unselfish action,
or lifting a finger,--ercept' by Way of sub
scription,—against .the: sin, and, sorrow that
oppress his lase fivoied fellow ereatures.
Perhaps I do him wrong, but I cannot think
of him without reflecting how little it; profits
man or - boy to gain prizes.and scholarships
and thousands a year,• if he grow not brave,
and kindly, and noble.---From "A Book

Zt fa a fact that, a b ort the age of fourteen,
.sooner or later, many of my boys undergo a
fatal transformation. The external symptoms
`unmistakable,are and , the disease, wren it
has once got a fir m hold, is almost incurable.
First, they begin to neglect their boyish
sports, and lounge about the playground,
talking nonsense, or worse. No hockey, nor
"tig," alias "dabb," for our young gentlemen,
to crash their collars or dirty their boots.
They often, however, show great zeal for
cricket, fencing, or any other kind of amuse
ment which gives them an excuse for invest
ing, themselves in gorgeous flannel raiment.
But More likely they devote themselves to
playing on the piano. Then they take to
walking about the streets, got up
in what they fondly conceive to be
the first style of the fashion. They
wear gloves and carry canes. When
I was at school any boy who
appeared with a ring on his finger
would have been teased out of his
mind, and we know that the great Mr. Toots
only ventured to put his on in the holidays,
but all the young gentlemen of the present
day are unblushingly thus adorned. I saw a
boy of fourteen, to- day, who wore an enormous
battered old ring, which had, apparently, be
longed to his grandmother. I noticed this
with inward laughter, while I was engaged
in ornamenting his hand in another manner,
through the same agency as Jacob employed
for the same purpose, upon Laban's cattle.
Then while Consule Planco, as Horace and
the amber of "Tom Brown" would
say, we used to have a pair of
corduroys for school wear, and
apair of cloth trousers for Sun
dayel, our modern young gentlemen go to a
wild excess in the matter of peg-tops, some
of them possessing as many as four pairs. It
will be well for their afflicted friends and re
latives if they do not adorn themselves in
enormous paper collars, with broad colored
stripes. They begin to look with an envious
eye upon their papa's jewelry, and regard a
gold watch-chain as the sumnum bonum of
life. They manifestgreat eagerness to go out
to dancing parties, and profess to like the so
ciety of young ladles, before whom, how
-ever, they are generally dumb. They
make up for this silence, though. by
talking about them behind their backs
in a way that is • very' ridicu
lous, and certainly not edifying. God forgive
.thom! , they often pretend to take a pride in
foul thoughts and words, which it is to be hoped
'they scarcely understand. They make furtive
attempts to smoke cigars, whence arise unut
terable woes. They take wine now, when it
is offered to them, And try bard to like it.
They turn up their nose at bread and butter,
and early dinners. Theiare made miserable
.by thinking that their jadiailliare too short,or
by not being allowed to have stand-up col
lars. Poor creatures! Well were it for them
if the author of Sartor Itesartus could be
brought to bear upon their benighted under
standing.
This is the terrible disease which corrupts
the healthy happiness of boyhood. It steals
on silently and insidiously, often breaking
out in boys whom you would never suspect
of being affected. I. remember a bright merry
boy of thirteen,who gloried in noise and mud,
running and climbing, and jumping, and who
always looked happy and untidy. I remem
ber how certain circumstances led him to
say to me, with boyish sincerity, "I hope I
shall never be a swell !" and thereupon I re
joiced over him as ono saved from destruc
tion. Alas within a year the infection
seized him. He broke out into all the un -
healthy bloom of a boyish dandy, and exhib -
ited even more dangerous symptoms.
The malady has sometimes a sharp tussle,
though, with the naturally strong constitu
tions of boyhood. Long after the main body
of the fortress is taken, some out-of-the-way
corner of the boyish heart will continue • to
hold out against Mrs. Grundy. I heard lately
a very touching tale about a young gentle
man' whci had not altogether lost his boyish
ness, and among other signs and tokens
thereof, delighted to wear a belt around his
trousers, instead of braces. His parents,—
blind votaries of-. Mrs. Grundy!—wished to
Outmode - him out of his habits, and pro
pounded unto him this dilemma, that if he
did not give up his belt he should not go to a
ball, at which he hoped tflllkmake his debut in
the fashionable.WOrld-, ..'wo a hard areng•

up the belt and went to the ball; and I don't
think he made the beatihoice.

cherished, the delusion that, Solomon was the
wisest Mai , oh , earth;titould have to confess
themselves grievously mistaken if they knew
many of our young ; gentlemen, • They know
everything; they dontlequire to be taught.
They have no faith in those , who are older
and more,eiperienced; they believe in them
selves—amost heathenish belief. Y ou eig.p
tell.them•, what truly, good, apd, 'what is

votaries of the Handbook of Etiquette. Your
weighty words, they neglect, but they dare
not Bet themselves ag
ainst the sneers of their
companiontl' ' Dick, fora, anitHarry. - And,
though they do not listen to those of their
elders who speak truth, they listen readily
and obediently enough to those who speak
falifeb e ed, ;•,They'L le- the ;poisonous
word's of those who put good" for evil and
evil for good—who call sweet bitter and bit
ter sweet. They are but too eager to learn the
lessons of those who teach that we are sent
into this world; not to be good, and wise and
happy, but to eat and drink, and to take our
thoughtless pleasures, like the brutes that
perish. We are., all teaching something in
this w orld of ours, and this is the cursed les
son men learn from us, if we set ourselves to
teach no other. Alit "when we , have reformed
all our old gentlemen, -we shall have more
hope for the young generation.
An Antique Treasure Trove.
One of the must magnificent antique trea
sure troves, consisting of a large number of
SilVer vessels of splendid workmanship (three
barrows full), has come to light near Linde
sheim, at a depth of about nine feet. A. piece
of land reeently bought by the military au
thorities near the so called Galgenberg was,
by their orders, being transformed into a
shooting- ground, and during the excavations
connected with this process the spade of a
soldier struck something which turned out to
be..a huge. inverteil silver vase, underneath
Which a number of other silver -objects were
discovered. Close to this there was next un
earthed a similar vase, covering more articles
of silver, and so from one mound after an
other ,a large, collection of vessels were dug
up,-whieh tuid been evidently 'placed - there
for the purpose, of concealment. A few
things Were, - asosual; abstracted and disposed
of in the first momenta of surprise, but the
colonel of the regiment was soon on the spot
to,Prevent farther.miscblef. -At that it was
thought that the objects found belonged to
the sixteenth or seventeenth century, and the
name of BenVettute to every
body's lips. Soon, however, an inscription
found at the bottom of a vase, reading L.
sum.,
„,neoeL gam nr, put the *igniters on
the scent of's dertain,.:Florentine silversmith
Boccl,Of whom some fifteetith century writer
is said to make mention. But these and sim
ilar notionirwere soon dispelled, by Professor
Wieseler, the famous archeologist, who
at once declared all these treasures to
be unquestionably antique. • Ipscriptions, at
present to the number Of twenty -four, found
on the objects,dis' posed of. the last shadow
of doubt. All the articles are in silver,partly
gilt, the r,elleth being throughout in raised
work. The feet, handles, &c., are in antique
fasbion,wrought separately and affixed to the
vessels by some tarry subatance. Among the
more remarkable objects is the official list are
the 'following.; "1. Remnants of. a i (cast)
tripod, its three feet ending in claws, 'its or
namentation consisting of three hermetic fig
ures of the Small-bearded Bacchus. 2. A.
bill-shaped crater about half a metre high,
full gf the most finished (chiefly erotic) orna
mentations. 3.-6. Pour handsome cups
with inscriptions, with magnificent haat
reliefs inside, representing Minerva; full
figure, sitting upon a, rook, with tegis and
helmet; the owl, and an olive crown at her
sides; turther, a bust of Kybele: with mural
crown and tympana; a Deus Luaus, with a
phrygian star emblazoned cap, behind him a
crescent; a bust of the boy Hercules strangling
the two sespenV, of rare artistic feeling, and
truth. 17- 20. 'Three saucepans, with orna
mented and insclibed handles. 1 10. 214.6 gr.
38-40. Three bell-shaped cups, with handles
and. feet. The reliefs upon these are spoken
of, both as regards composition and execu
tion, as simply perfect. The number of fig
ures, representing the masks of Pans,
Titans, Satyrs, Old and, young, male and
female, is perfectly astounding. 48. Cop,
with feet and handles, on gold ground, with

estimated at far above the 3,000 thalers which
had been the first guess. Everything paints

Madame igiStOrPS 66 Mori° Antoinette'?
In itair.
A correspondent of the London Telegraph ,
writes from Florence:
was present the other night at a most
effective and sensational drama, entitled
Marie Antoinette, in which the part of the
unfortunate spouse of Louis XVL was acted
by the celebrated Adelaide Mato& This
drama had been represented at Turin and Bo
logna, where it had created great enthusiasm.
Itbad been represented' at the Width Nicco
linl, a small and artistic theatre-in Florence,
during several nights, but Mad. Rietori being
compelled'to leave early nn the 4th, thought
it wise to represent it once more at the Pa
gliano Theatre, the largest ; in this city, and
capable of holding' six ;o seven thorMand
spectators. The entrance money having
been announced slivery low, rumors , circu
lated yesterday that a demonstration would
probably take place 4n reppblican , sense,
applauding the sanguinary - crnelties pprpetra- ,
ted by Maud dad. Robespierre against :the
Bourbons and their sdhereutep. -iliong before
the rising of flie l cUrtain the theatre was as
full as it possibly could be. The play com
menced at eight o'clock, ending at qne in the
mottling, arid a demonstration took place,but
in a wideirdifferent form from the one ex
pected. Madame "Ristori was so grand and
so powerful in her ; part, and the actors per
forming the parts of Banterre and similar
ruffians took such pains in imitating by their
gestures and - manners the,original personages
of that horribletragedy, that it was ti con
tinual weeping. from • beginning to end, only
interrupted by 'Bravo' and `Evvivf when
some partisan of the monarchy deelared that
he would stand by his Sovereign; or of 'down
with him when some goatee sanseulotte
laid his bloodybands on the pale - and delicate
features of Maria Antoinatte. Madame Ris
too b e fore leaviDg Pali, intends • acting this
I very effective drama in the principal Italian
cities:" -
—Ajury in Sbeffield,riglaitd,reccutly brought
n a verdict of "guilty, but recommended to

town, was taken about the streets by a pro
minent citizen to see the lions and lionesses;
and thus tells how they were interpreted to
him: •
"You see that man over there?" he re
marked to sr:Leo:won. ,une_ns,easlon, at the
dine t , thie iiituntleg With,: a fidget which'id‘
tienibled the tongue of an ox cart, to a dilapi
dated looking shrimp with a yard of tobacco
juice coursing Tts *ay thiough aditch in his

_.I answered in , thb affirmative.
"Well,sir" *Opined ' .14 cadaverous com
panion, "I'm going to introduce him to you.
He s. the smartest ,man this town—he shot
a fellow at a ball about three weeks ago." A
short time after my companion's fist fell upon
my shoulder like a trilktaauner, and bringing
his enormous index finger to bear upon a
biped of about three hundred avoirdupois, be
ejaculated. "There's the man I want you to
know--he shot a• Mexican right through the
head last Wednielay.." . .
Hardly'ten `MTDUtett elapsed, when down
came the ponderous fiat of my ruffian ac
quaintance upon my port arm,
with, "There!
cloggoned my buttons—he's a brick, you bet
your bottom dollar—he put a charge of buck
shot into a Dutchman last week, and dug a
bole into his head big enough to saw wood
in." I was on the point of making expression
of sympathy for the unfortunate Teuton, when
mysttention was turned to a lymphatic look

There! by juniper! there's the- smartest girl
in this town; you ong,ht to know her—her
father's jackass took the first priie at the fair
last fall—you het she's smart." I wanted to
eta him it she'd shot anybody within a week,
but for fear that I might get a dose of back
shot which would dig a hole in my head big
enough to, saw wood in I affected tudescrib
able amazement at the ' brilliant creature, to
the much joy of my cicerone.
