Founded on the four gospels, and illustrated IT reference to the manners, customs, reli eious beliefs and political institutions of his times.” By Lyman Abbott. With designs by Dore, DeLaroche, Fenn and others. Har per & Brothers, publishers; for sale by Tur Her, Brothers & Co. Mr. Abbott,after much study and balancing of authorities, has written out a Life of Jesus which proposes to give familiarity to the de tails of a career which has so swayed the destiny of the world. In one of Rome’s ob scure eastern dependencies transpired tbe ex istence which has shaped the civilization of the West, and to which the thrones and go vernments of our time, under the general name of Christendom, all trace their pres tige. Tbe historians to ’ whom we look for the precious facts of that career were provincial in the utmost degree, and while their narratives breathe all the charm of pro vincial candor and immaculacy, they take for granted the reader’s knowledge of the customs and small politics of the petty Tetrarchy in which they were written. Mean time the Christian' religion has shifted its seat from the orient, and has infused itself into societies stamped with all the energetic traits of tbe Northern or Caucasian character. The Four Evangels or Stories are therefore filled with allusions supposed to be obvious, and obviouß indeed to the modern Syrian, but obsenre to the fair-skinned European. Hence the fantastic conceptions which the middle ages, working in the dark, superimposed upon these Eastern histories, —making a gallant ba ron of the Apostle James,a superb monarch of Peter,&c. The Testament narratives,in fact, became dim, and subject to the distortions of the dark, in ratio as Christianity moved away from its local ground; and the proportions of the entire picture which they compose, together with tbe images of a thousand details, have got to be all wrong in- the minds of Whole populations of honest and devout Christians. If the conception of Jerusalem life, for instance, in the mind of Elder Knapp’s most enthusiastic disciple, could somehow be made visible or tangible, and then the conception of an oriental scholar, we ehonld find about as much difference as be tween the Behemoth of the old missals and the photographs of the hippopotamus of the Zoological Gardens. Yet the image in the mind of tbe scholar would be much more like that intended to be conveyed by Luke. Therefore, the efforts to popularize the Bible narratives—to set before the public reader an idea of the era Bimllar to the idea exist ing in Ihe mind of the Evangelist and taken for granted by him—are, if undertaken reverentially and cautiously, of value to the cause oi Christianity. Pious and simple minds may be shocked when confronted with images so different from their preconceptions. But, nevertheless, the image buried by the Evangelist and excavated by the student is the true one. Mr. Abbott has, on the whole, done his task carefully and well. He intercedes be tween the congregation and the scholar more genuine than himself, and takes off'something from that horror of scholarship so deeply planted in the congregational mind. Most readers will commend the author's plain and honest ground, that, believing the JBible inspired, he assumes as sufficiently cer tain the authencity of the Gospels. The work contains no discussion concerning the author ity of the Scriptures or the legitimacy of par. ticular passages. This, says Mr. Abbott, be - longs to thelcritic, not to the historian. By thus separating himself from the painful quer tions of criticism, he endears himself to his Christian reader, while infinitely mitigating the perils of his task. The plan of his work, thus simplified, is natural and plain. It is a candid synthesis of profane and Bacred his • hwy- Beeinning with a little study in physical geography, the book places before our eyes a panorama ol' the Holy Land, as divided into the Jordau Valley i Country, and the Plainß. Tnen comes the whole history of the Jewish common wealth, reduced to the shortest statemout, down to its decay and its division, upon ; Herod'S death in the infancy of Jesus, int. petty provinces from which even the spectre Jewish royally was obliterated. Upon the background thus prepared he places the radiant figure of &je Nazarcne, fracing his life from poifrlfto point of the Syrian landscape, ; and from epoch to epoch of that progressive existence, ao hard 'to arrange correctly from , then nasslsted Bible.’ At the. last,, after , a picture of the closing scenes.in vfhich archie, ology is reverentially subdued to the senti ment and lesson of the theme, the narrative concludes with two vitally-important chap ters, “Whoße Son is He,” and “The Resur rection.” Mr. Abbott’s style is familiar to the verge of inelegaDce,aud sometimes clears the verge- His faulty taßte once or twice slips with him into the pictorial style adopted by the author of “The Prince of the House of David.” But these occasional blemishes cannot dim a cer tain candid fairness, an air of teachableness, an evident desire to detect the truth, which will be certain to find their reward in the popular confidence. Messrs. Harper have come up generously with their assistance, and made this volume one of the handsomest of its kind.

Bat if he had made the egregious mistake of saying that there never would be anything new under the solar luminary —in that case there would be good ground for discarding him as stand ard authority in matters of wisdom. But with all his smartness, I don't believe His Majesty ever bad the remotest idea that there would ever be such a thing as a velocipede, a contrivance by which not only is space an- . nihilated, but the laws of gravitation are set at defiance. Sol. may have had visions in his dreams, perhapß. of the wheelbarrow, or the palanquin, or the hansom-cab —but yon may bet that tbe velocipede is a vehicle which his prescience could not touch. And yet it is no reflection on the ancient Brigham that he did not know this: it is not at all to be wondered at. They didn't rash tbiDgs two thousand years ago as they do now. They went slow and sure then; but now-a-days matters and things (particularly the velocipede) move fast, regardless of con si quences. And there was Admirable Gncbion, who knew everything (almost) —he lived and died without making the slightest sign that he knew anything at all about a velocipede. No; all things move on in order, and every novelty has its day. It waß reserved lor the latter half of the nineteenth cenluiy to produce ibis most strange and un natural piece of wheelwrightery. It came from that fountain-head ot all things devilish and wonderlul —France. The name of the inventor —or how he came to get the thing up —whether or Dot he died oi brain-fever afterwards— and how much the invention has netted him up to this time clear of all ex ptnet s —are points submerged in the fathom less depths of myßtery! But, n'importe; the velocipede is an existing iustitution, and we must accept the situation as best we can. I'll tell you what it did for me. ADyihing that is novel has a magnetic attraction for me. Tbe epicure does not more thoroughly relish the first shad of the season than do I a new idea. My top eye is constantly open, on the lookout for things new. 1 shake hands first with all the fresh babies. I smile bemgnantly on every young author who I knew has given the world someibiDg out of the line of conventional hsekneyism. Whenever a new journal or periodical is started, a dozen of cUampagne and myself go around directly to the editor's sanctum,and we don't go home 'till morning.

[For the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.] MY VELOCIPEDE EXPERIENCE. BY PAUL PARALLEL. It was a Sunday morning when I tried it first. All the folks had gone to church —my head acbi u so that I couldn’t go. There waa not a soul in the house besides myself, except the chambeimaid, and she was up-stairs reading The Pirate's Own Book. I pulled my darting velocipede out from under the bed—(there's where I kept it) —and, leaning it against' the wall, gazed on its symmetrical proportions for a moment in admiration. Ah! (upostrophized I) you’re a beautiful speci men. You were no doubt made by old Ve locity himself, Tnen,- carrying, it as best I could, I marched happily 1 down Stairs into the pailor. The room was very long and afforded a fine field for experiment. Taking up my position at one end of the room, I be-; strode my passive Bucephalus. I raised ray feet simultaneously,to place them on the‘ ’treadles,” and immediately “horse and rider” flopped over sideways on to the floor.’, The noise oc casioned by this Bomewkst- disooncerted me, for I feared the servant might have fieartl it and come down and discovered me in my irreligious amusement.' For si moment 1 listened, and satisfied that Kitty was oblivions, I proceeded to remount tho eccontric steed, this time with more caution. I had seen boyß in learning to skate use one skate first, and I concluded that was the correct system for me to adopt. With my right foot on the treadle and my left foot on the floor, I pushed ahead. Glorious success 1 Tbe thing went on—Blowly, to be sure—but still it went on. Encouraged by doing so well, and believing that, as I had got “the hang'of the thing, I could now manage it with my feet—l gave myself a littte extra momentum. with my loft foot and instantly placed it on its ap propriate treadle. In just a second from that movement the darned thing went over again —this time against the “what-not,” crasning that piece of furniture, breaking and scatter ing its contents, and making a din and racket, of the moßt painful character. Rubbing tbe side of my face, which had come in contact with a Bohemian-glass bottle, I arose, just the least confounded. I heard Bteps up stairs. In a moment the voice of Kitty was calling me. “All right,” I responded, from the toot of the stair-case. She Beemed satisfied with tbis lie. for she did not come down asy fur ther, arid I re-entered the parlor. I righted the “what-not" as best I could, and consider ing that it wouldn’t be profitable tor me to practice equestrianism any longer there, I 1 concluded to change my field of operations. The sitting-room presented the next best fa- ■ cilities. It was on the second floor, at the head of the staffs. I could leave the door open so that I could hear the opening of the front-door when the people came home from church, and thus guard against surprise. My two former failures were of benefit to me. “The third time conquers,” thought I, and resolutely determined that the saying should prove true in connection with the matter I had in hand. For an hour I care fully and patiently labored with the “con traption”—the trite but true motto of “per severance conquers all things ” humming through my head all the while. Finally, liki another Rarey, I bad managed the steed, and it was tractable. I was delighted; the veloci pede was now under my control, but I was compelled to go slowly and carefully. At last I thought I would just try a little ac celerated motion. I took up my position on the further side ef the room,and sat quietly on the vehicle for a moment as if I were some new-fledged commander of armies, about to leap into enduriDg fame at a single bound by one grand charge on the enemy’s works. I moved my feet, and the wheels responded to the gentle motion. Now, thought I, here goes for the circuit of the room at Dexter speed! I sent all my strength into the muscles of my legs. It seemed as if I had let my will go, free of all control,—that I had yielded my superiority and placed myself subject to it, without restraint or reservation. I became a victim of misplaced confidence. Like an arrow sped from the bow or a practiced archer the velocipede shot out. Such locomotion I bad not dreamed it capable of. It went across the room in splendid style. I was proud, and, in the exhilaration ot the moment, was about to scream oat the words of Horace: Bublimi feriam sidera verticc — but in a second more the ejaculation of Clan dian came with fearfnl appropriateness to me: Eheu! quam brevihus pereunl ingentia causii. As I reached the open door I attempted to guide the vehicle bo that it would turn around, in pursuance of my intention. But the “ob stinate beast” rebelled against my dictation. It would move no other way than straight; ahead, and out of the door the velocipede and I went like lightning. I feared, or had not presence of mind enongh, to let go with my hands, and my independent legs acted as if they were afflicted for the time being with the St. Vitus's dance. Over the landing we went like a whirlwind, and headlong down tbe precipice of the stairs plunged like a duplication of Cnrtius of old. There was a hiatus in my senses for a mo ment. Tableau: a general medley of material matter in the hall, near the vestibule door. Just at tbe time I had plunged down the stair way, the people came in tbe froDt door from the church. Having closed the door, their retreat was cut off, and the consequence was that I made sad havoc in their ranks. Tne scattering of the Assyrians led by Sennacherib waß nothing as compared to it. When the clouds (of dust) lifted, there we lay—veloci pede smashed to pieces, two women with torn finery, struggling in hysterics, and a fat man and myself panting, grunting and rub bing our shins alternately. Kitty came half-way down the stairs and laughed in a very improper manner. Further details would only lengthen this painful narrative. I have only to say that the ruins of tbe French vehicle now lie in my rubbish room, a sad memorial of my impru dent zeal. I have had my velocipede ex perience, and am satisfied. “Go thou and do likewise." A LONDON CHURCH “DONE” BY DICKENS. The following truthful picture of a church in the heart of London, “the moßt Christian city in the world,” will give a good idea of the piety of the Cockneys : As a congregation we are fourteen strong, not to count an exhausted charity school iu the gallery, which has dwindled away to four boys and two girls. In the porch is a bene faction of loaves of bread, which there woul I seem to be nobody left in the exhausted con gregation to claim, and which I saw an ex - hausted beadle, loDg faded out of uniform, eating, with his eyes for self and family, when I passed in. There is also an exhausted clerk in a brown wig, and two or three exhausted doors, and windows have been bricked up, and the ser vice books are musty, and the pulpit cushions are threadbare, and the whole of the church lurniture is in a very advanced stage of exhaustion. We are three old womea (habitual), two young lovers (accidental), two tradesmen,one with a wife and one alone,! an aunt and nephew, again two girls (these iwo girls dressed out for church, with every thing about them limp that should be stiff and vice versa, are an invariable experience), and three sniggering boys. The clergyman Is, perhaps, the chaplain of a civic company; he has the moist and vinous look, and eke the bulbous boots, of one acquainted with “Twenty port, and comet vintages.” We are so quiet in our dullneß3 that three sniggering hoys, who have got away into a corner by the altar-railing, give us a start,like crackers, whenever they laugh. The aunt and nephew in this city church are much dis turbed by the sniggering boys. The nephew is himself a boy, and the sniggerers tempt him to secular thoughts of marbles and strings, by secretly offering such commodi ties to bis distant contemplation. This young Bt. Anthony for a time resists, but presently becomes a backslider, and in dumb! show defies the SDjggerers to “heave" a mar ble or two in hiß direction. Herein he is do ; lected by hiß aunt (a rigorous reduced gentle . woman wlro has the charge of offices), and l perceive that worthy relative poke him in of an ancient Umbrellas. '.Vi '■«' 1 y.tt- The nephew revenges himself for this, ,by holding his: breath end terrifying, his kins: woman with the dread belief that he ha 3 made Up bis mind to burst.; Regardless of whispers and shakes, he swells arid becomes discolored, and yet again swells and becomes discolored, until the aunt can bear it no lon ger. but leads him out, with no visible neck, and with his eyes going bolore him like a prawn’s. This causes the sniggerers to re gard flight as an eligible move, and I know which of them will go out first, becauso ot the over devout attenriofi that he suddenly concentrates on the clergyman. In a little while this hypocrite, with an elaborate de monstration of hashing bis footsteps,and with a face generally expressive of having until now forgotten a religious appointment else where, is gone. Number two gets out in the same way, bnt rather quicker. Number three gets safely to the door, there turns reckless, and banging it open, files forth with a whoop! that vibrates to the top of the tower above us. The clergyman, who'is of a prandial pres ence and a muffled voice, may be Bcant ef hearing as well as of breath, bat he only ;lances np, as having an idea that somebody ias said amen in a wrong place, and Contin ues hiß steady jog-trot, like a farmer’s wife goingto market," He does all he has to do the same easy way, and gives a concisepCr mon, still like tho jog-trot of the former’s wife on a level road. Its drowsy cadence soon ltdls the three old women to sleep, and the unmarried tradesman sits looking at win dows, the married one is looking at his wife’s bonnet, and tbe lovers Bit looking at one an other so superlatively happy that I mind when I, turned of eighteen, went with my Angelica to a city church on account of a shower (by this special coincidence that it' was in Hoggin-lane), and when ljaid to my i Angelica, “Let the blessed event, 'Angelica, : occur at no altar but this!’, and when my An gelica consented that it should occur at no other—which it certainly never did, for It never occurred anywhere. 1 And O, Angelica,' what has become of you, : this present Sunday morning, when I can’t attend to tbe sermon; and, more difficult. question than that, what has become of me - as I was when I sat by your side. But we receive the signal to make that unanimous drive which surely is a little con ventional —like the Strange rustlings and set tlings and clearings of throats and noses, which are never dispensed with, at certain points of the church service, and are never held tc be necessary nnder any other cir cumstances, In a minute more it is all over, and the organ expresses itself to be as glad of it as it can be of anything in its rheumatic state, and in another minute we are all of us out of the chnrch, and Whitybrown has locked it up.

Over fifteen (1600/ hundred miles have been bnllt by two (2) powerful com panies; the Union Pacific Railroad, beginning at Omaha, building west, and tire Central Pacific Railroad, begin* Bing at Sacramento, and boildfnx east, until tho two roads shall meet. Less than two hundred and fifty miles remain to he built. Tho greater part of the interval is now graded, and it is reasonably expected that the through connectlonbetwocn San Francisco and New York will be completed by July L " As tho amount of Government aid given to each la de> pendent upon tbrlength of road each shall build, both companies are prompted to great efforts to secure the construction and control of what, when completed, will be on* and the only grand Railroad Line eonnacti tg the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. One Hundred and Ten Million Dollars (8110,000,000) in money have already been expended by the two powerful companies engaged in this great enterprise, and tboy will speedily complete tbe portion jet to bo built. When the United States Government found It necessary to secure the construction of the'Pacific Railroad, to develop and protect its own lnterest,it gave the companies authorised to build it such ample aid as should render its speedy completion beyond a doubt The Government aid may be briefly summed np as follows: First—The right of way and all necessary timber and stone from public domain. Second—lt makes a donation of 12.600 acres ef land to the mile, which, when the road is completed.will amount to t AontV'tbree million (23000,000) acres, and all of it within twenty (20) miles of the railroad. Third—lt loans the companies fifty million dollar o (860,000.000), for which it takes a second lien. The Government has already loaned the Union PaciGc Railroad twenty-four million and fifty'eight thousand dollars (824.0o8.U00). and to the Central Pacific RaUtom seventeen million six hundred and forty-eight thousand dollars ($17,6(8 000). amounting in ail to forty*one million seven hundred and six thousand dollars < $41,706,000). Tbe Companies are permitted to iisuo their own First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount an they receive from the United States, and no more. 'J he companies have sold to permanent Investors about ($4O 000,000) forty mil lion dollars of their First Mortgage Bonds. Tbe com. panlea have already paid in (including net earnings not divided, grants from State of California, and Sacramento city and ban Francisco', upwards of ($26,00(1,000) twenty five million dollars of capital stock. WHAT IB THERE YET TO BE DON E Y In considering this question it must be remomberod that ail the remaining Iron to finish the road is contracted for. and tbe largest portion paid for and now delivered on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad and tbe Central Pacific .Railroad, and that the grading is almost finished. WHAT RESOURCES HAVE THE COMPANIES TO FINISH THK KUAD f First—They will receive from tbe Government as the road progresses about $9,000,000 additional Second—They can itsue their own First Mortgage Bonds for about $9,000,000 additional Third—The companies now hold almost ail tho land they have up to this timo received from the Government; upon the completion of the road they will have received in all 23,000,000 acres, which at 81 60 per acre would be worth $34,600-0001 In addition to the above the net earnings of the roads and additional capital, if necessary, could be called in to finish the road. WAY BUSIHESB—ACTUAL EARNINGS. No one hae ever expressed n doubt (hat as soon ea the road la completed its tlirough business will bo abundanJy profitable. Gro*a eamlngß of tbe Union Pacific Bail road Company for six month a, ending January Ist 1869. were upward* of s3*ooo*ooo Ihe earnings of Central Pacific Railroad, for Mx months, ending January Ist 18®, were 81*750,000 gold Expenses $660,000 gold Interest 460,0uu ** Net profit of Central Pacific Railroad,after paying all interest and expenses for six months $750,000 gold Tbe present grots earnings of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads are $1,300,000 monthly. HOW LARGE A BUSINESS IS IT BAFE TO PREDICT FOR THE GREAT PACIFIC RAILROAD? We would giro tho following facts derived from Ship, ping Lists* Insurance Companies. Railroads and general Information: bhips going from the Atlantic around Capo Born, 100 80,000 tons. Steamships connecting at Panama with Cali- fornia and Chino, 66 130,0(0 tons.

Pennsylvania Leglalatare. CLOSE or TESTKRDAVB PROCEEDINGS. House.— Mr. Bonn introduced a bill to re arrange the boundaries of the Second, Third and Fourth Wards of Philadelphia, and for the elec tion of officers, therein. An act to rc-arrango tho boundaries of tho Se cond, Third ana Fourth Wards of Philadel phia. Section 1. Be it enacted, <jc., That all that portion of the city of Philadelphia beginning at a point where the east side of Passynnk road inter sects with Wharton street, thence along the said cast side of Passyunk road northwardly to the south side of Christian street, thence along the -south side of Christian street to the river Dela ware, thence along the said Delaware river to the north side of Wharton, thence along the north side of said Wharton street to tbn point where It intersects with Passyunk road aforesaid, shall constitute the Second Ward of said city. All that portion of said city beginning at a point where the north side of Ellsworth street intersects with the west side of Pasayunk road, thence along the west side of said Passyuak road to the sonth side of File water street, thence along the sonth side of Fltzwater street to Broad street, thence along the east side of Broad street to the north side of Ellßworth street, and thence along the north side of Ellsworth street to tho said west side of Passynnk road, shall constitute the Third Ward of tho said cl tv. All that portion of the said city, beginning at a point where the south side of South street inter sects with the west side of Broad etreet; thence i xtendlßg along the said sonth side of South street to the Delaware river; thence along the said Delaware river to the north side of Christian etreet; thence along the north side of Christian street to tho east side ot Passynnk road: thence sii ng the east side of Passynnk road to the north side oi Fltzwater street; thence along the nrrtb side oi Fltzwater street to the east side of Broad street; thence along the east side of Broad sireet to Sonth street .aforesaid, shall constitute the Fourth Word of the said city. Bcction second provides that at the next mu nicipal election the citizens of the Second and Third Wards shall elect one Select Councilman for each ward, and as many Common Council men as they are entitled to by law.

Ackart and his wife. Mr. Josephs, one to incorporate the Union iFuel, Coal and Savings Company. The bill to change tho boundaries of the first and second survey districts of Philadelphia came np on third reading. Mr. Josephs strongly opposed tho bill, taking the ground ihat while Republicans and Demo crats in the district had remonstrated against its passage, no one, except the person interested, a man worth half a million of dollars, had asked for it. It Would be unjust to a poor man,and an outrage to pass it. He called for the yead and nays, and the bill passed by a partv vote. Adjourned till Tuesday afternoon. 11« c bnllrogo Amendment to tlio Con- stlluiiou* The following is Mr. Sumnor’s substitute for the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment: First— That the right to vote, to bo voted for and to bold office, shall not be denied or abridged anywhere in the United Slates under any pre tence of race or color, And all provisions in any Stato constitution or in any law, State, Terri torial, or municipal, inconsistent horewith, are hereby declared null and void.

Protection of foreign Emigrants, ' It is stated that the project of a convention be tween tbe United States and the North German Union for the better protection of emigrants to the United States, Is under consideration by Baron Gcroit and certain-parties In New York and Washington. The plan of a treaty having this in view has already been prepared, both at the Treasury Department and State Department, that from tno latter office modifying several of tbe provisions contained In tbe former. As vet there has been no definite action with respect to cither. The substance of the introduction of the pro ject la that the United States of America and the King of Prussia, in the name of the North Ger man Union, deem It important, both In the in terest of humanity., and _ sound public, policy,'.to provide greater protection to emigrants from Norib Germany to tbe United States, in tbe mat ter of health, comfort and morals, than has here tofore been enjoyed by them, and have resolved to appoint a convention for that purpose. Fol lowing this Is a number of articles relative to tbe carriage of passengers on vessels, respecting dis cipline, cleanliness, Ac.; one of the requisitions being that tho master of tho vessel shall, before sailing, post conspicuously In the various com paitments of tbe vessel, certain regulations men tioned in an appendix to the proposed treaty,and snch others as may be deemed necessary, in the English, French and German languages; In the event of the provisions not being com plitd with by a citizen either of the United States or North Germany, involving amenability to the penalties prescribed, the case shall be referred to a board of commissioners, consisting of fire mem bers, two appointed by the United States and two by the North German Government, or the Minis ter of tbe latter in the United States, if the case be adjudicated here, or by the United States Min ister in Berlin, If the cose Is to be adjudicated there. These commissioners are invested with the usual privileges of commissioners in cases re quiring a decision of a national character, and their action,when they agree.is to be final. What ever fines arc collected for violation of the treaty stipulations in tbe United States, are to be paid Into tbe Treasury and held for paying the expen ses of tbe commissioners. It is also provided that the master of snch pas senger vessel bringing passengers to tbe United Stales shall pay to that government one dollar for every statute adult brought on board snch vessel to the Unittd States, and as machor the amount as U necessary is to be held for carrying out the treaty stipulations A Gigantic Wlilsky fraud. The Ledgeri Washington correspondent tele" graphs: A committee of whisky dealers were to-day be fore tbe Ways and Means Committee, urging an extension ol time for removing whisky in bond, which,by the present law, is to bo removed on or before April 20ih, 1869. In this connection, it may be well to correct my paragraph of Monday last, wherein it was sot forth that the receipts of Internal Revenue received under the reduced tax ol fifty cents per gallon exceed those of a corres ponding period when the tax was two dollars per gallon. This statement, without explana tion, Is calculated to mislead. The receipts tor the period indicated, it should be borne In mind, are not for whisky manufac tured during that Bpace of time, but are for tax on whisky accumulated during several years in bond, having been there placed by many who, under the ola law, had been engaged in evading and refusing to pay the tax. The amount of re ceipts recently, instead of showing a favorable condition of things for the Government, shows just the reveree—tbe Government should have received many millions of dollars more. The rrduciion of the tax on whisky in bond was a part of the scheme of a special whisky ring, promoted, It is alleged, by a few members of Congress, who were in the secret. The ope rations of the rlDg were on the grandest scale known in history. It will be remembered that during all the early period of last session of Con gress, It was given ont by members who, from their position, were supposed to be authorized to speak for that body, that tin-re would be no reduction ol the tax, and the Committee of Ways and Means had reported mat there should be no reduction. During all this time the grand managers of the scheme, knowing what was to come, purchased Dearly all the whisky in bond, amounting to fif teen millions of gallons, paying for it prices ruDgiDg from five to fifteen cents per gallon. When these purchases were completed it was announced in the House of Representatives that the tax was to be reduced not only on what was to be made In future, but on what was in bond, which already the Government held for tax. The price of bonded whisky at once advanced to sixty and sixty-five cents, thus net ting to tho ring—the purchasers of bonded whisky—about eight millions of dollars, which was divided among the smart manipulators of the scheme. How many members of Congress recoivei dividends in this gigantic trick will probably never be truthfully made known. One of the ring, already a millionaire In New York, added two millions to his fortune. Instead of this re duction of tax being a great gain to the Govern ment It was a monßtrous loss. If this whisky had paid two dollars lax os it should have done, it would have produced for the Treasury thirty millions of dollars Instead of seven or eight mil lions, which is claimed by the schemers to be ench a large advantage to the Government. More of the sprcitic tacts of this huge speculation are forthcoming. nil vices from Central and South America. New York, February s.—Tho steamer Rising Star, irom Asplnwalt, brings ©714,000 in treasare. Fires at Valparaiso, December 31, occasioned groat loss of property to the amount of several hundred thonsand dollars. A number of persons perished in the flames. The Bolivian government has given out a con tract to Robert R. Brown for the construction of a railway from Coblja to Potosi, estimated to cost ©25,000,000 to $86,000,000. Pern has agreed to prolong the Jacna railway to the Bolivian frontier, whence Farfan <fe Co. agree to continue it to Lapas, for five millions sterling. Two ships had arrived at Valparaiso In 80 days from Glasgow, within a quarter of an hour of each other. They sailed together, but only sighted each other once during the voyage. Eight lives were lost by the wreck of the Italian bark Oberon, on the coast of Chile. The Peruvian expedition, under the charge of ex-Admiral Tucker, formerly of the Confederate navy, has demonstrated that the Ucayali river Is the trne source of the Amazon, and not the Mara non, as formerly supposed. Serlons rows occurred at Aspinwall, January 22 between some sailors from the United States steamer Tallapoosa and some two hundred Ja maica negroes. One of tho sailors was killed. Affairs in Cuba. Havana, Feb. 6— Jose de Armas, tho peace commissioner, to the insurgents, has returned, having been unsuccessful. The insurgents de tpahd that sufficient guarantees be given them that General Dulce and the Spanish government will comply with the promises made. Authentic and thoroughly reliable information from Puerto Principe denies the, statement, pub lished 1b the Diarto , that General Arrahgo was assassinated by the order of Quesada. In view of their return to arms, and of the de mands made by the Insurgents, It is cer tain that war will continue. The fate of the island can only bo decided bv arms, as the gov ernment cannot grantthe demands of the Insur rectionists. The war In the Easteru department continues. Santiago and the Immediate surround ings were free of revolutionists. The aqueduct had been repaired. Most conflicting stories were in circulation regarding the insurgents, who had presented themselves to accept.amnesty. The report that the insurgent General Aquillara was captured is doubtful.
