That sound Republican paper, the Pottsville
iners' Journal, says:
"If the U. S. Senate should confirm the nomi
-nation of A. Cummings as fig successor of Mr.
Rollins as Commissioner of Internal Revenue,
they ought to cease talking about the corruption
of Andrew Johnson's Administration, and the
"Whisky Ring." They know that the people
have no confidence in Cummings, and to put him
into the office only a few weeks before the begin
ning of a new Administration would show that
there Is jobbing , business going on in the Senate.
If confirmed by the Senate, the people will de
mand the vote, so as to judge for themselves.
The Impression is gaining ground that the United
States Senate is not quite as pure as it might be,
and the sooner it is sifted of some of its mem
bers the better, for the interests of the people.
That process has already begun. The people can
not be humbugged longer even by professed Re
publican Senators."
—Cincinnati is agitated on the, subject of hydro

I therefore went to breakfast at Obefa, at a=
corner of the Rue Dupuytren; for it will be hard
indeed to find a negotiation which does not begirb
at Paris, with a festival. Among the medical

In abort; his talk became so savage and 'san
guinary that I was forced to leave the breakfast
table.
I met Dr. Anzoux alone. The Professor's
udy, at No. 2,lltue Antoine-Dubois, is on one of
thoseshort, antiquated passages which surround
the Ecole de Medicine; to enter the , street I de
.cended a few steps, passed a stout barner-ralling
of iron, and approached the address, sometimes
4...)n an ordinary footwalk, fiDaletiMeS on...tbet.
quare cobble-stones which painfully pave the
uelles of ancient Paris, and which come In so
well for barricades in the event of a little dispute
with the authorities. The advantage of a stair
case 'street is,that your study is quiet,,undisturbed
by rattling carts.
The Professor Is a hale old man of seventy-two;
one of those well-carpentered frames and crisp
characters which insult the passage of iliac. I
believe it needs all this nervous energy, all this
constitutional ruggedness, and a little of this
directness of manner, to press a great Invention
on the world.
I was soon introduced to the Doctor's trusted
friend, Prof. Lemercier. This gentleman, with
the utmost interest and kindness. proceeded to
demonstrate the whole collection imprisoned in
the cabinets. There were considerably over a
hundred models, illustrating the depanments of
he human, animal, and vegetable kingdoms. I
therefore cannot specify any proportion of them,
but I wish, by a word or two concerning a few of
the best, to explain their construction, and give
a little idea of their excellence.
In a neat glass stable, supporting with heroism
the vacuum of a perfectly empty stomach, stood
a hone. This simulaere, of the proportions of an
Arab racer, full size of life, had reached that de
:-ind point of leanness that he had completely
tripped off his adipose tissue with the cuticle.
'the. training and docility were such that he parted
%ti•ith his vitals one by one without objectiomand
presently allowed himself to be reconstructed in
detail, when he resumed his balance and his
proper 'quadrupedal attitude. He was made of
ninety-seven separate pieces, which clung to
gether by mysterious and invisible hooka and
pivots.
Then, from the quadruped to the quadrumane.
With one long hand embracing a rugged branch
of oak, and with his bestial jaw extended as it to
grind his admiring visitors to powder, the Gorill
stood up life-size, animated, red, brutal and mor
tiingly human in aspect. I examined my naua
-eons relative with the yielding courtesy and
attention which a man usually extends to his
more muscular fellow. But the sight was full of
horror and of sickening suggestions, and I could
ave wished the vulgar satyr had never leaped
out of the forests of the Gaboon.
Prof. Lemercier now, with a penetrating smile,
approached a wardrobe—the very wardrobe, ap
parently, which Don Carlos enters, amid the ir
reverent amusement of the pit, in the first scene
of I I ernani. Opening the door, he continued to
smile, as if ho would say, with Hamlet, hold
you up a glass where you may see the inmost
part of you."
"Monsieur," said he, "let me introduce to you
—yourself."
The cabinet door swung open, and lo the most
perfect of manikins, with his muscles; his nerves
'and veins, his organs and skeleton, In such
healthy development that he seemed only to wait
for the magic souffle of life to come out and con
verse with us. In five minutes I was looking into
his abdominal cavity, inspecting the coats of his
stomach as if he Iliad been the Canadian Saint-
Alartin, one of his eyes in my hand, his lungs
lying near the fire-place, and his heart opening
and shutting its valves obediently to the Pro
fessor's demonstratien.
This urbane Frankenstein undid himself and
read us a sermon on our fearful and wonderful
making.
I cannot possibly exaggerate the artistic finish,
the Illusory completeness of the texture. All was
there, the fibrous muscle and blue vein and pearly
nerve,. counterfeited, with strange delicacy, and
seeming all ready to move or throb. It was an ex.
bawdy° demonstration of our wondrous frame,
"Its living Marbles jointed strong
With glistening band and silvery thong,
And linked to reason's guiding, reins
By n2yriad rings in trembling chains,
Each graven with the threaded zone
Which claims it as the master's own."
OUR; WHOLE 0011TRy I
A pleasant morning passed. amid wonders I
have'not space even to touch upon. •The ra

was shown from . 6 Hand ' a .fool In length, the

which'• had been diereepectfdircut into like a

nerves of sense, with'a genenil exhibit of the
Medullary structures.

nsgs. A, pink, a foot across—a sweet pea with
ears like an elephant's, all ready to shed their
petals,a4d open out their honey cells at our will.
When tired of so much wonder, I took a seat
before the blazing grate. The manikin, from kis
alcove, took it coolly "in his skeleton," contem
plating his ruddy muscles which lay heaped at his
feet, by means of an eye which hung out from a
hinge an inch befere his face. The room Was
polished, warm, comfortable and snag. On the
mantelpiece, in a pin-cushion, were clustered
leaden castings from a quantity of human ears
(that is, the labyrinths of the internal
ear), showing the different convolutions
in different subjects, and resembling little curly
periwinkles picked from the shells. The room
was warm, the doctor's wine was rich and
•drowsy. Before I left I was ready to fancy my
•self in the inmost arcane of Dame Nature's
laboratory, with human fibre and organs in pro
cess of manufacture all around me; with the
battle-horse just ready to clothe his neck with
thunder and sally forth into his proud existence;
with the dread gorilla about to flnd a tongue and
tell Inc
"—what shoulder, Ad what art
Could twist the sinews of his heart,"
—with the flare of an earlier world ready to in
toxicate me with their rank perfumes; within
sects and creeping things of unheard-of propor
tions ready to form and conquer the globe with
locust swarms. It was a curious experience, a
visit to be repeated again and again; - tiiid a rare
peep into the Ateliers of Animated Nature.—

them a running fight for half a mile, when they
succeeded in killing one of the wheel mules; then
we had to stand and fight. They rushed within
75 steps of the wagon; four of the men were soon
killed. Campbell was on my horse, upon which
be madehis escape. Moses Solomon was driving
the mules; he was shot through the hand, bat
stuck to the wagon until the Indians were
within 80 feet of it. We had a pony
leading behind the wagon, which I cut loose,
jumped ho ll o wing and ran through
mule
Indians,
Solomon ime with the mule. e A
young
man named Dwyes mounted behind Solomon and
succeeded in making his escape. The Indians fired
rapidly, and tried to catch our animals by the
bits as we were running through them. How we
ever escaped is, and will ever remain, a mystery
to me; there was not a single avenue of hope,
Put certain death met ns at every point. The
men killed were Richmond McGregor, S. Mont
gomery, John Thomas and William Taber.
They scalped and mutilated the bodies most
horribly, cutting off some of their heads. We
got to Fort Peck, and on the second day went
back for their bodies. Four of oar party at the
time of ttte fight were hunting in the timber, and
escaped. The Sioux express their intention of kill
ing every white man from Fort Union to Benton;
also of fighting the Crows and Gros Ventres. We
killed five Indians in the fight, and wounded
many more. Chad., this is not a good place to be
in; the Indians shoot very carelessly, and are
liable to hit some one. If they attack me at
Browning, I will try and treat them cordially; I
have three pieces of cannon and twenty men, and
we are all on the fight. There are upward of
3,000 Sioux within a hundred miles of Fort Ben
ton, and all friendly (?) to the poor whites. We
were left without anything to eat, and, oar bed
ding being taken from us, we were in a most de
plorable condition. I have bad my hair cut short
since I got back, tor cases of emergency.
Yours truly, A. S. REED.
A correspondent of the New York Herald In
(Wines in another guess at Grant's Cabinet as
follows :
The following is the new Cabinet "slate," re
vi,ed and corrected for the week ending the
2.8 d inet
Secretary of Mute—Mr. Charles Francis Adams,
of Massachusetts.
Secretary of the Treasury—Mr. David A. W elle,
of New York.
Temporary Secretary of IVar—Gen. John M.
Schofield; United States Army, of Illinois.
Secretary of the .Vacy—Admiral D. D. Porter,
t n ited States Navy, of Pennsylvania.
Secretary of Interior—Hon. Benjamin F. Wade,
of Ohio.
Postmctstgr-General—Mr. Wadsworth, of Ken
tucky.
A ttorney-General—Hon. James F. Wilson, of
lowa.
The pia nums and poltenoses will wager any
reasonable amount that five of the above seven
mime, will prove correct. Even the contempla
ted temporary retention of General Schofield is
'very distasteful to the several general officers
who rank him, as it is virtually
placing him over their heads, and
making them, his seniors, subject to his com
mands. Major-General Sheridan, for example,
would be compelled to comply with the orders
of Secretary of War Schofield, albeit Schofield is
his junior as a general officer of the line, being a
brigadier-g ,might eneral only. While there mighe
ome justification for this anomalous military
Eitatuo in time of war, it is certainly unprece
dented• in time of peace. The resignation how—
ever, by. General Schofield of his • commission as
brigadier general in the army watild at once
place these objections hors de combat.

To the Editor of the Evening Bed/Ms.-8m :
It is a rather striking fact, and.one that may per
haps not have,attracted the attention of all your
,feaders, that all the most remarkable buildings now
in course of erection in the 'Oily are being placed on
ditroad street. Commencing at Spruce street,
there is the very large and striking church
edifice, now about half-way up. At Filbert
Is the Masonic Temple; jest beyond, at Arch,
a very beautiful white marble church building,
opposite to which again. at the southweSt cor
ner, St. Andrew's, a marble Lutheran Church ; is
about at once to be commenced. Further north,
at the corner of, Jefferson, a very beautiful Epis
copal Church is in ,course of erection; beyond
again:Mr. Robbins's Presbyterian Church is well
advanced, and will be'one of the most architec
turally' successful edifices in the city. If, as now
seems probable, the Penn Squares shall ,be as
signed to educational institutions and' 'hand
somely improved, this will bp another step in the
direction of makingthis a street of,noble edifices;
for which its great width, straightness, and ex
tended length adiciltably lit it.
We all therefore Wait' with great IMpatlen6 to'
'see the existing break in int continuity removed
—the railroad obstructions between Olive street
and Pennsylvania avenue- It does seem moat
extraordinary that these obstructions should have
been permitted to remain there so long, and, it is
to be hoped that when the time shall come that
they can be legally removed, not an how' will
be lost in effecting the deliverance.
The writer, though himself a stockholder "in
the Reading Railroad; does not believe that that
Company , ean retain its depot in its present po
sition. As it now stands, the depot in fact in
cludes Broad street; for about a square of the
street has been so completely taken posses-
Eton of that it might almost as well have been'
walled in. Doubtless this is very convenient to
the Company, but it is a convenience to which no
companxbas any right. The possession taken
of the street is so complete that any one driving
trcm a point above the railway station to one be
low is actually compelled to go round by Thir
teenth street; at least. If he tries once to go
through (as the writer has done), he will never
at 1,73 , 0 it again.
It has been said that the company cannot flu
their station at a point west of Broad because
there is - no square large enough. It is difficult to
answer this objection—with gravity; it is so ab
surd. There is no need that the passenger station
and frtignt station should be under the same
root, and the proper.point for them is half a mile
west of Broad. The locomotives crossing
Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth
and Nineteenth streets are a dangerous and un
justifiable nuisance. The improvement in the
value of property on Broad street will indemnify
the company for the cost of removaL
The writer, who hes 'lvied Much In foreign
cities, and has observed the influence exercised
upon them by the character of their streets, says
without hesitation that could Broad street be
thrown open to-morrow clear of railroads and
sidings, and paved throughout with Nicholson
pavement, the whole character of Philadelphia
would be altered. A noble promenade, lined
with handsome buildings, a wide and gay drive,
would convert Philadelphia from a mere large
city to a metropolis, by giving it character and
expression, and 'would double its - au ctions to
strangers, both as visitors and / de residents:
Whenever this is done, wonder will be-felt that it
>should have peen theenbject of stintrinteratitrable
delays in accomplishment. (Avis.

—At the Arch thin evening the splendid comedy
Twelfth Night; or What You Will, will be per
with new scenery, costumes, &e., and
with a cast which is in every way excellent. We
venture to say that the play has rarely been as
well cast throughout, and it is safe to promise a
first-class performance.
—The drama After Dark is continued at the
Walnut. Its success has been very great; the
house having been crowded every night. The
performance improves with repetition as far as
there is room for improvement. Mr. Walcot's
"Dicey Morris" is an inimitable personation, and
Mr. McDonough's "Old Tom" is hardly inferior
to It. From present appearances, the piece in
.ikely to have a long ran.
—The company at the Anierican Theatre has
been greatly enlarged, and a first-rate olio per
formance will be given this evening.
—This evening at Concert gall. Professor
Boynton will lecture upon "Coal Oil and Coal
Beds." This course of lectures has been remark
ably successful; the hall has been crowded nightly
with intelligent audiences, and the demand for
tickets is as great as ever. The Professor de
serves this success,for his discourses are intensely
interesting.
—At the Theatre Combine this evening the
Galton Opera Company will appear in the oper
etta, A Marriage by Lanterns. In many respects
this is the most entertaining opera in the Galion
repertoire,
and as this Is to be the last week of the
engagement of the company at the Theatre Co
mieue, we hope the house will be crowded every
night.
—The elastic Models (detachable models) of
the celebrated Prof. Anzottx, of Paris, have ar
rived at Concert Hall in great toree, and will
allow themselves to be drilled and demonstrated
to-morrow and Thursday evenings by their ac
complished protector, Lemercier, of Paris. This
Professor speaks a good quality of English, and
has a reputation as anatomical lecturer in France,
England and Russia. The minute beauty of the
Preparations needs but be seen to fill the mind
with wonder. A few inferior imitations have
appeared in this country, but a moment's com
parison will convince the most patriotic Awed
-
can that "they manage these things better
in Franco." To the eye, the elastic
Models aro nature itself—a revelation of the se
crete of dissection with naught of the disgust and
trying character of the process. These prepara
tions have already begun their Ameri
can career of success, having elici
ted warm commendations, without
an adverse word, from the press of Now York
and New England. Agassiz, Holum, the faculty
of Columbia College, have expressed themselves
as unaffectedly glad to make the acquaintance of
Lemercier, and have labored to provide him with
in telllgent,select and appreciative audiences. He
is a gentleman of finished culture and agreeable
address. The first demonstration takes place, tq
morrow night, at Concert Hall, on the invitation,
of the Teachers' Institute.
—M. Du Chaffin will lecture at Concert Hall on
Monday evening next upon the, subject "Lion
and Gorilla Dunting,or Two Years in Equatorial
Africa." This lecture will be handsomely illus
trated with diagrams and pictures. •
tionie Allegations.
The Chicago Tribune, which suffered so heavily
a feiv days ago for an unflattering police item,be
fore ay vv rtjudleed and very silly jury, no has the
word 'alleged" electrotyped, and uses it before
every other word in its reports. Here is one of
its new model revorts:
"It is alleged that one Frederick Meyer, alleged
to be doing business in this city, was arraigned
before ono Rhyne, who is alleged to be a Com
missioner of the United States, on yesterday. It
Is alleged that the alleged party, charged with an
alleged fraud upon an alleged Government, as
sisted in some way in smuggling some alleged
drugs, which are alleged to be of considerable
value. It is alleged:that the alleged case was post
poned until Monday, alleged to be the 11th day of
Jan. It is further alleged that the alleged defend
ant was held to bail. It is alleged that the alleged
Mr. Meyer, whom it Is alleged kept an alleged
drug store„heing before an alleged commissioner,
Whose name Is alleged to be Hoyne, was required
to give a bond, which, His alleged, rogalros
alleged Mr. Moyer to furnish for the payment of
any sum- of money which some, enlightened, but•
not yet alleged jury, may allege against him, as
damages sustained by the alleged Government."
