'* ‘'Tim‘lfappy ' Boy’ 7 ' TsT a 'ybung Norway
peasant, to whom the world, seems a pastoral
, Jkdream, until lib is nidelyawakened io his po

V his love for a girt above hini ih station. ;Jliere
is a priceless episode, the story of the school
* master, told with Bjiirnsen’s most exquisite
•i subtlety- Everywhere there afe'the'Shadowy,
frost,likoplacelike, inimitable pictures of N„or-
Way-scencry, and the filmy tracings of northern
character. We extract a childish scene, but
iftti invaluable one, of a Cotdirraation held in a
,l village'parsonage in Norway, among the pro
tege!) of the eccentric-dominie :
, THE.CONI IJiMATIO.X OK OHVVINH.
4 Haifa year after, in the following autumn
•(Confirmation had been postponed mitihthen),
the children who had been preparing for the
ceremony) were sitting in the servants’ hall at
tlie parsonage,, awaiting their examination:
among them Oevvind, I'ladsen and Marit
Heidefarms. - 3larit had just come down front,
the minister, who had given her a beautiful
hook' ami much commendation: she Was
laughing and talking with her friends on all
sides, and east a glance round among the lioys.
Marit was now a full-grown girl, easy and uu-
constrained i» lier manners; and tlie boys as
• well as tlie girls knew that the richest fellow* in
the parish, John Uaden, was courting her; she
•might indeed be happy, as she sat. there. Down
bv the door stood some girls and boys, who had
not been accepted : they wore crying, while
Jlarit and her friends laughed ; amongst them
was'alittle boy in bis father’s boots and his
mother’s Sunday kerchief.
“Oh dear, oh dear!” sobbed he
dare, to go home again."
Those w ho had not yet been called up, were
seized with a powerful feeling of sympathy;
there was a' general silence. Anxiety choked
boll) throat and eyes: they could not see dis
tinctly, nor could they swallow, of which there
was a constant necessity.
One sal and reckoned over how much he
knew: and, although some hours before he
bad ■ found out that he knew everything, he
now ascertained, with the same degree of cer
tainty, that be knew nothing, not even how to
read from the book.
Another made out a list of his sins, from as
far back as he could remember, up to the lime
he was sitting here; and lie did not th-ink*it
was at all to be wondered at, if the Lord allowed
him to be set aside.
A third sat and sought to gathep,omens from
: everything about him: if the clock, which was
just going to strike, did not strike before he got
to then he would pass; if the one he
heard in .the entry turned out to be tlie stable
boy-Lars, then lie would pass; if the big rain
drop which was traveling: down the window
reached the bottom of the pane, then he would
pass. The -last and decisive test should be,
.whether he got the right foot twisted round tlie
left; and this was quite impossible for him.
A,fourth felt convinced' in his own mind,
that if he were only questioned about Joseph
in Bible history, and Baptism in the Catechism,
or about Saul, or on the Domestic Duties, or
about Jesus, or on the Commandments, or
; he still sat enumerating, when he was
called up.
A fifth.had conceived a particular affection
for the Sermon on the Mount.; lie had dreamt
about the. Sermon on the Mount; he was sure
he would he questioned on the Sermon on the
Mount ; and he gabbled over to himself the
Seimon on the Mount; die had to go outdoor*
to read over tlie Seimoil on tlie Mount, when
he was called up to be questioned on the great
and small Vropiiets.
The sixtb.ilionght of the minister, who was
such a holy man, and knew his father so well;
lie thought, too, of tlio schoolmaster who had
such a kind face, arid of Cod, who was full of
tender mercy, and had helped many before,
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, .and Joseph; and then
he thought, how his mother, 'brothers, and
sisters were sitting at home praying for him,
-which certainly must help.
The seventh .sat and renounced all lie had
thought of becoming iu this world. Once be
bad thought of pushing it as far as king,
once to general or n\iiiistcr; now that time was
passed. But, up to the very moment of com
ing here, he had thought of going to sea, and
becoming captain) perhaps pirate, and gaining
enormous lidies in trade ; now lie gave up,
first, tlie riches, then tlie pirate, then tlie cap
tain, mate, he stopped at sailor, at the utmost
boatswain; yes, it was even-possible that he
would not go to sea at all, but. find some occu
pation oil his father’s farm.
The eighth'felt more confident of his case,
hut still nokquite certain, for even the cleverest,
was not certain. lie thought of the clothes in
which he was to be confirmed, what they
should be used for if lie were not accepted; but
if lie got'through, lie was going to town to get
a cloth suit., ami come -home again, and-.dance -
at Christmas, to the envy of all tlie boys, and
amazement of all the girls. •
Tlie ninth reckoned in another Way; he,
made out a little account-book with the Lord,
in which he set down on one sid6 “ Debit,” l ie
shall let me pass;.and on the other side, as
Credit,” then I will never tell any more lies,-
never slander, go to church' regularly, let tlie'
girls alone, and give up swearing.
But the tenth thought that if Ole Hansen
had been accepted last year, it was more than
injustice if they did not take him this year,
who had always been better at school, and was
besides of better family.
By his side sat the eleventh, who was medi
tating the most fearful plans of vengeance in
, ease of being set aside, either to burn down the
school-house, or to run away from tlie parish,
and return as the avenging judge qf the
minister . and whole school committee, but
; magnanimously allow mercy to usurp the
place of justice. As a beginning, he would get
a situation in tlie bouse of tlie minister of the
1 neighboring - parish', 1 .and next ’ year' stand
Number tOtie there, and answer so that the
whole parish would be astonished.
Bat the twelfth sat by himself under the
clock, with both hands in his pockets, and
looked mournfully "over the assembly. No one
here knew what a burden lie bore, in what a.
responsibility he stood. At.home, there was
one who knew ; for he was.engaged. -A large,
long-legged spider crawled across tlie floor, and
approached his,foot; he generally trod on the
disgusting insect; hut to-day he "lifted his foot
tenderly, that, it might go where it liked in
peace. His voice was gentle as a prayer, his
eyes said constantly that all .men were good,
his hands made*-'humble movement ont ot Ids
jidckels up to his hair, to stroke itdown flatter.
If he could only creep gently through this dan
gerous needle’s eye, ha would take care to
grow out again on the other side, gliew tobacco,
.and announce Iris engagement.
Down on a low footstool, with Iris legs up
.under him, the restless thirteenth was sitting.;
bis small, flashing eyes darted round the room
three times in a second; and through his
violent, stubborn head whirled in motley con
tusion the thoughts of all thc twelve, from the
mightiest hope to the most crushing doubt.,
from the humblest resolutions to the-most de
structive plans of vengeance against the whole,
paiish.; and in the mean lime Ire had eaten up
all the loose flesh on his right Minmb, and was
now, occupied with his nails, sending great
pieces across the floor.
Oeyvind sat over by tlie window; lie had
been up, and answered everything which was
asked him ; but the minister had not said any
thing, ‘il'or the schoolmaster cither.. For more
fhpii half a year he had thought of whatthey
, w ould both SiiyjwhcUtliey found out how hard
hehadworked; and how lie,felt much.tUsap
jjointod as well'ia mortified. There sat Mailt,
who, t<)u far legs’exertion and acquirements,
Jad received fbbfh, Jficouragement .and„rc»,
ward tt Hi w its hist' jo stand hssr in lietteios; he
had ivSiked ;%hd how shp:w‘nn;' J atntli;i*;Vlmr,
he had toiled to attain with so mueh self
denial. Her laughter and joking burned into
his sou): the freedom 'with which.she moved
about pained him deeply. He had carefully
avoided speaking to her since that ovonirig;
years should pass, he thought: hut the sight of
her sitting there, so happy and superior,
weighed'him to the grouild, and all his proud
resolutions drooped like wet leaves.
He endeavored, however, gradually to shake
off these feelipgsl All dependcd'on whether
lie got Number One that this he ex
pected. The schoolmaster generally remained
■a little later with tlie lninistcD.tUavratige the
children’s marks, and afterwards he .came down
and .told them the result; it was not the final
decision, but only what he and the minister
had agreed on for the present.. The conversa
tion in ilie room became livelier, after every
one who was; examined had been afedepfed;
but now the .iiiibitious ones began to divide
themselves oil'from the happy ones. The latter
left, as soon as they found some quetp go with,
to communicate their success, to their parents,
pr stood waiting for others, who were not yet
ieady: the former, on tlie contrary, grow more
find more quiet, and their eyes were anxiously
fixed on the door. ,
At length, the children had all (inislio?!;, tlie
last- bad come down, and the schoolmaster Was
talking with the minister. Oeyvind looked,at
Marit;,ahc was its happy as before, but, still re-,
mainod sitting, waiting either for some one else
or for her owl) pleasure, he did not know which,
Mow beautiful' Marit had grown! Jler daz
zling complexion Was like none, he had ever
seen beibie: ,her nose was a little turned up;
her mouth, half-smiling, Jler eybs were half
closed,-tmlttfs she looked directly .at' some oue;
blit, then.'her glance' always seemed unex
pectedly tender, when it did coihef-and as if she
herself would add that she meaut nothing by
it: at. this moment she smiled a little. Her
hair was rather dark than light; hut it Was
wavy, and cauie forwards on both sides, which,
taken together with her half-shut eyes, gavg a
hidden expression to her face, not. easily un
derstood. ..One could not lie quite sure whom
she was looking for when she was sittingamong
others, nor exactly what she was thinking of
when she happened to turn round and speak
to anybody: for she seemed to take back again
directly what slip gave. Under all that. John
Hatlen must he hidden, thought Oeyvind, hut
still kept ou looking at her.
A'ow the schoolmaster came. All 'eft tjieir
places and stormed about him:—
•■What number have I?"
•• 1 ?"—I ?**
I don't
“Hush! yon' • great, over-grown boys; no
disturbance here. Be quiet now, and you shall
hear, childien.” lie looked slowly round :
■‘You are number 2,’’ said he to a boy with
blue eyes, who was looking beseechingly at
him; and the boy danced out of the circle.
•‘You are number si,” he rapped a red-haired,
brisk little fellow, who was pulling his coat.
“ You are number 5 ; you, number S,” &c.
lle.caught sight of Alarit: “You. are number
lof the girls." She turned scarlet over her
face and neck, but tried to smile. “You,
number J 2, have been lazy, you rogue, ami a
great mischief-maker. You, number 11; we
could not expect to have it better, little boy.
You, number Id, must study bard, and come
to tlio, last examination, or it will turn out
badly for you !"
Ocyvimi could 'nor bear it any longer;
number 1 had certainly not been mentioned ;
hut he had been standing the whole time, so
that the schoolmaster would see .hit*.
•• Schoolmaster 1" He did not hear. “ School
master!" Three timCk he had to repeat it, be
fore he was heard. At last, the schoolmaster
looked at him : 1
“Number !) or 10, don’t, remember'-exactly
which,” said he, and turned round to'another.
“ Who is number 1 then?” asked Hans, who
was Oeyvind's best friend.
“It, is not you, curly-head,” said the.school
master. rapping him over the hand'with a roll
of paper.
“ Who is it, thenasked several. “ Who is
it'. 1 yes: who is itV”
“That lie will lmow who gets the number,”
answered tlie schoolmaster, severely; he would
not have any more questions. “Go home now
quietly, children .: be thankful to God, and.re
joice jour parents’ hearts 1 • Thank youf-lbld
schoolmaster,too ; you would have beep nigely
left in the lurch if if hadn't becn'fdr him’!” ' '•
'i lay thanked, him, laughed, aiid departed
merrily ; for. now, that, they were going home
to their parents, they all felt happy. Only one
was left, who could not find his books directly;
and who, after he had found . them, sat down,
as if ire’were going to begin studying again.
'J lie schoolmaster went over to him:—
“ Now, * leyviud, are you not going with the
others-?”
lie did not answer.
“Why do you open your hooks.”’
“ I was going to see what I had answered
wrong to-day.” 1
“I do not think you have answered any
thing wrong.” ,
Then..Oeyvind. looked, at him. Tears filled
liis eyes; lie still continued looking at him,
while they coursed down liis checks, one by
oiie; hut lie did not say a word. The school
master sat down in front of him :
“Are you not glad that, it is all liappily over?”
His.lips trembled, but he. did not answer.
“ Your mother and father will be, very glad,”
said tlie schoolmaster, looking at, iiim. -
Oeyvhul struggled awhile to speak. At
length, lie inquired, in a low voice, hesitating as
he spoke:—
“is it—because I—am a workman’s son—
that.'! stand number !) or 10?” .
“Probably that- is the reason,” answered 1 tlie
schoolmaster.
“Then it does no good for,me to work,”
said he, drearily; and all his dreams.vanished
away. Suddenly lie raised liis head, lifted his
right hand, and bringing it down on the table
with all his might., burst into violent sobs.
Tlie schoolmaster let him lie there and
weep as long as he would. It lasted a long
time; hut the schoolmaster waited until tlie
sobs grew more childlike.' Then taking ills
head in both hands, lie raised it up, and gazed
into the tear-stained face :
“Ho you think it is God who has been with
you now 2” said lie, drawing tlie boy up to him.
Oeyvind still sobbed, but less violently. The
tears flowing more slowly ; but lie dared neither
look at. him who asked,nor apswer. - ;i ~ ■
“This, Oeyvind, is a merited-p'ecpmpensv.
You have not studied from affection . tbt: your
religion or your parents; you have studied
from vanity.”
There was silence in the room after cvervr
thing tlie schoolmaster said. Oeyvind felt liis
■glance jesting.on him,and he grew milder and
humble .under it. ‘
“With such anger in your heart, you could
not have come forward, to make a covenant
with God; would you, Oeyvind?”
“No,” he stammered, as well as lie could.
“ Ami if you stood them with vain joy at
.being number 1, would you not stand there
with a sin?”
“ Yes,” lie whispered;• and his lips trembled.
“ You still love ine:Oeyvind?!’ •
“Yes;” and lie looked up for the first time.
“Then 1 will tell you that it. was 1 who.had
you put down; for 1 foGT .you- si) Jimifih,
Oeyvind.” ' , T ; ,
'i lie other looked at him, winked 'Several
times, and the tears coursed rapidly down.
“ Ydn are not angry with me for that ?” ,
“No:” lie looked up full in his face, and
then burst out crying. '
“My dear child, I will stay by you as long
as I five.”

that jils wholo future will be like waiideriug in

burden fell bn him again, as they came In sight
of the house at Pladsen. -n
Both his parents were iti the room, and had

it ivaS during the hours for labor, and at a busy
time.. Tliq schoolmaster.entered first; .Oeyvind
followed. • '■ . .... .. .......
' “ Now!” ■ said' liis father, laying-; aside a
psalm-book, in which lie had just been reading
fi “Prayer fora Catechumen.” ■
His mother stood by the chimney-corner,
hot daring to say anything. She iatiglied, but
tier h'aqd was unsteady; apparently, she Was
expecting something agreeable,-but (lid not
wish to betray it.
•‘I only wanted to come to gladden you with
the news that lie answered every question

after Oeyvind had gone, that lie has not'had a

' “Oh, really!” said his mother, much affected'.
“Well, that was right,” said liis lathery and
cleared his throat uneasily.
After .a long silence, hi's mother asked,
softly;— - ■ ■
“What number will he have?”
“Number oor 10,” said the schoolmaster,'
.quietly. . ,
His mother lo'oked at her husband,—be, first
at her, then at Oeyvind. '<
“A workman’s son camiot expect more,”
said lie, in a low voice.
peyvind looked at him again. It seemed as
if there were something rising up in his throat
again; but he keptit'down by thinking of kind
tilings, one atyer another, until he had regained
ills self-control! • \
“Now I liad better go,” said the school
master ; nodded, and turned towards the door.
lloth the parents followed him odt on to tlie
doorstep. Here, the schoolmaster took a qiud
of tobacco, and said, smiling,—
“He will be number 1, all the same; but it.
is not worth while for him to know anything
about it, before the day comes.”
“No, n<»,” said bis father, nodding assent.
“No, no,” said liis mother, also nodding.
Then she took tlie schoolmaster by ’the baud:
“We owe you many thanks for all you do for
him,” said she.
•■Yes: we owe you thanks,” said liis father,
“ph! I have thanks enough in mvseif,”
answered tlie schoolmaster; “for the fact is, I
love him!” He nodded and went away; hut
tlic-y stood along time, gazing after him.

PRISE,
A Great FnbliHlilnK House—What It
, Has Hone—How It Has Achieved
Greatness.
It is always interesting to investigate the
doings of those enormous, enterprises which
go on almost silently amongst us because they
are self-supporting and depend but partially
upon publicity for their success. One of the very
large publishing concerns of the world lias
heretofore been very far from tlie best known,
owing to a sort of modesty which lias separated
it from the clamors, of tlie lesser houses,
whose life depends on the . noise . they make.
A correspondent of the A Tew York Evenhuj
Mail, under date of November; “2, furnishes
this interesting account of,;.an| exploration
among the groaning tables and shelves and
bursting cellars of Messrs. Lippiueott & Com
pany’s gigantic establishment:
Tile citizens have been complaining sadly of
late about a, wretched Fall trade, short sales,
great stagnation in business.' , Tlie carpet
weavers are a numerous class here, ami they
will tell you that nothing is being done, that
hands are idle, employers at their wits’ end;
and flour dealers are even noisier over the de
cline in tlie cost of the stalT of life. An intelli
gent stranger, hearing these things, amt then
going into tlie'mammoth book establishment
of d. B. Lippiueott <Si Co., in Market street,
would be filled with surprise at the activity add
bustle which he would behold in all the multi
tudinous departments of that vast emporium.
If.tlje IMgVr building, in Chestnut street, be
ahead of all newspaper establishments in the
world for size, elegance and . completeness of
luxurious details, as .unquestionably it is, then,
beyond all doubt,, this .great, lii m.nuiks at the
head of tlie book-jobbing houses of the world.
Hobert Chambers, of tlie well-known Edin
burgh and London houses, is'intimately ac
quainted with all tlie great, linns in Great
Britain and on the continent of‘Eurbpe, ami
when lie was in this city some eight or nine
years ago lie was filled with surprise when he
saw tlie scale on wiiieh business was done by
this house. His wonder would increase did lie
now visit Philadelphia and look at the enlarged
premises, the additional swarms of lntsv clerks,
the piles of heavy boxes awaiting tiuifqiorf, to
the dillbrent railroads, and all tlie signs that he
'would witness or the increasing activity and
prosperity of this old .establishment.
It may be considered old, at least, in this
country ; for the house dates from Hie close of
the last century,"and kshistory lias been one of
growth all tlie time,’ even in the midst of great
political and national changes, showing the
wisdom with which its affairs have been
managed. Like many of our great commercial
houses. Its ■business with the Soutlipm and
Western States'had' grown apace, and when
the war broke.outthe indebtedness of .Southern
merchants to this lirm was so great that no
business could have borne such a strain as was
laid by the suspension; of payments from this
cause on this house, had not the capital in hand
been almost; unlimited. And yet the trade of
itfcc firttr'Wcrit on ak before, c'vcifgrowing under
ithe difficulty; and while strong houses, and ad-:,
mirable men bent and fell before the storm,
this house rose higher and higher andbecame
stronger aji war raged on. .
' Some liaises are confined to the business of •
publishing alone, others are bookselling eslab-l
lislnnents, and others again are devoted to sta
tionery. The house of J. 13.' Lipplijcott & Vo.
includes' all these departments, and then again
every tiling will be found.iu it, in each of- these
departments* okthfo most varied character, in
connection with ■ erudition that'
even fancy could suggest. Almost; all houses
that rise get hold of an idea, and they use it
vigorously'. Thus has it been with Hohner and
his Now York Ledger, and so alsb liasfit been
with this lifni. since, the managers be
thought themselves of the waste of time and
the tiouble that Southern and Western pur
. chasers had to incur, by going from one publish
ing house to another, from street to street in
this city, from here to New York, and thence to
range about, through the publishing houses in
lloston. , The remedy, and the profitable one,,
too, was obvious. A quick intelligence soon
ascertained wbat new books wer a faking in
the markeh.by whomsdever they were pub
lished; and accordingly every book in plentiful
abundance that would sell w.-is soon found on ’
the shelves of tbis.wise and wealthy firm, ilenco

and thus this iirni speedily became one of the
largest, and it is how beyond doubt by far
the most extensive jobbing, house ip the
World., '
Eighteen Or twenty years agoVit was a sub
ject of wonder to see the piles ofvastboxes of
books on the sidewalks that this housevvas de
spatching, while other establishments , were
comparatively idle. Sofar backas 1834, tiro
freight shipments readied the dumber of 1,008
large boxes, While in 18(18 they ahiountcd to
111,201 boxes, ah increase of 870 over the pre
vious year; and this-'year, now at its- cloSepre- ■
Cords an advance’far beyond thei foWnbf’expa
riehcc Of .other yeafs.' ’ That there, ig no exag
geration 1 in this description will be cyideut by
the fact that these large shipments roach, over,
twenty States of. the Union every day- V
Of course these enormous; sales includo all
that is disposed of - in : the publishing depart
ment, the ordinary bookselling, home and for
eien, as well as stationery. In .the ’ matter of
publishing this firm has.issued pearly 'two. hup-.
. died new volumes during the year, while the
business of the greatest works goes .steadily
on; Of these larger works yaar readers may >
have some idea if Chambers's “ Encyclopiedia,”
in ten royal Bvo volumes, with atla9, bo men
tioned, the production of which involved an
outlay of $lOO,OOO. Lippincolt’s “ Pronoun
cing Gazetteer” alone cost $50,000; while
Prescott’s works are in fifteen volumes,' 8vo;
anti besides these tire Irving's works, several;
editions of the Waveriey novels, two of Btilwer,
forty-four and twenty-two volumes each;
Thackeray’s wprlfs, twenty-two volumes, to
gether with Imperial Bibles, Bagst.er’s Bibles,
anii Bibles of the most gorgeous size and beauty
of type and paper for the pulpit.
A new work now on hand, on Universal
Biography, by Dr. J. ThOmas, will absorb at
least $50,00(1, and the two. concluding volumes
of Alibono’s “ Dictionary of Authors”will re
quire some $20,000 to bring them out. Indeed
a walk through the cellars of this house among
the stereotype plates is one of the most in
teresting exhibitions- in connection with mod
ern literature. . Here is a little pile; of wooden
boxes. What is this ? Why, that' is such a
work, costing $20,000..' And this? Well, that,
is so and so, costing $lO,OOO. And this ? Well,
that is Dr. so and so’s work that cost $25,000,
and so the tale goes on until'more than.
$500,000 worth of plates are examined, and the
w onder grows bow such stuns can be had, how
any house can' stand such an outlay, how. any
foresight can tell that such ventures may safely
be made, and bow decided is the evidence of
story upon story of the great emporium rising
aloft, and filled with the taste and the learning
of two continents, that shows the ma3tcry of
the minds that have ruled and made this house'
what it is.
The w;orkof the firm is divided between two
places. The establishment for production, in
cluding printing, binding, and other process of

Department until 9 o’clock A. M. the 3d day of
FEBRUARY, 1870. It is desirable to obtain
Docks and Keys of a how construction for the
exclusive nse of, the United States mails, and,
if practicable, Invented expressly for that pur-
Soso. As the exposure of a model Dock and
;ey to public examination would impair, if
not destroy, its utility for the mails, the De
partment prescribes no model for bidders, but
relics for its , selection on the specimens of
mechanical skill and ingenuity which a fait
competition among ' InVehtOts, • hereby
invited,. ’ may . develop. It is .suf
ficient 'to > describe the.. pri nolnal
requisites of . a Mail-Look, as follows; Self-
Lockivy uniformity,• security , > slrmgth,
durability, navcHyofconstructm md facility, of
■use. Two kinds of Dqpkit and Keys; one of
brass and the other of.iron. diflecent -in exto-.
rior form and interforicdnStriiction Or arrange
ment, are required; the Proposals should
specify separately the iprice. each Obrass
Dock, each Key for same ; each iron Dock,
, and each Key for same. Duplicate samples of
each kind of Docks and Keys proposed are
required to be submitted with the Proposals :
one of each Sample Loclc to bo riveted up and
finished, and' another to be open or unriveted,
so that its internal structure and arrangement
may easily be examined, Every sample should
be plainly markqd with tlio bidder's name,
and, if tho same or any part of it be covered ]
by a patent, tho date of such patent and tbo i
| name of the patentee must a&o bo attached I
I thereto. ■ : I ■■ ''■ . ■ .
I The internal plan or arrangement of the
i Docks offered; and the particular shapo of the
Key requisite to‘open them, must not be like
any now or heretofore in use.
They must be warranted not to infringe
upon or cotifiict with any patented invention
of which the bidder is not the patentee. Pre
ference will ho given to a Dock, the Key of
which has not been exposed to general obser
vation, or been publicly described, disclosed,
or suggested.
A decision on the various specimens and
Proposals will be made on or before the 3d
day of MARCH, 1870 ; and, unless the Post
master-General shall deem it to be beat for the
interests of the Department tp reject all tho
Proposals and specimens submitted under this
advertisement (a right hereby expressedly re

as soon thereafter as practicable,-with tho:
successful' bidder whose Docks shall be
adopted; for furnishing similar Docks and
Keys for four years, as they may bq required
mui ordered. If mutually agreed to in writing
by tho contractor and the Postmaster-
General for the time being, not less
than six months _ before its expiration,
the contract may bo - extended aud
comtinued for an additional term of four
years. But on and after the expiration of
cither term of the contract, or on and 'after
its rightful anniment at any time, the Post

■ Correspondence of the Philadelphia Ermine Bulletin-1
Wilmington, Nov. 25.—The melancholy
tlays of the year have coine for the select few
who love both Delaware and decency. Last
Saturday, as I see your readers have already
been informed by telegraph, the autumnal
whippiugs commenced at New Castle. News
paper men being scarce, they were probably
;a little more severe than usual. Ido not care
to dwell upon so disgustingja subject,
and only allude to it to say that
there were gratifying indications of an
improved public sentiment on this subject,
and I think the days of the barbarism are
numbered.. To the Bulletin-, more than to
any other paper published outside the State,is
due the credit for bringing about this change,
in public opinion. This innch, at least, has
been accomplished,—professing Christians no
longer seek opportunities to proclaim their
approval of the pillory and the post.
We have been having quite a number
of sensations in criminal matters. The
ttfal ’ and conviction of the murderer
Goldsborougb, at Georgetown, and his
‘ subsequent escape from jail, have
produced great excitement in tlie lower
part of the. Ktate. Very few people think
there is any probability of his recapture. He
is a nephew of Admiral Goldsborougb, and
lias very many wealthy relatives, and it is sup
posed by many that he will receiye, of has re
ceived,^material assistance. -
Following close upon the heels of this ex
citement comes tho suicide of an old man
named Edward W. Faulkner (not Fortner,
:ls was at tirst reported), in jail
at New Castle, where he was awaiting his
trial on a charge of arson. He was a man of
' intemperate habits, and,.it is was
laboring under an attack of iWfriiim tremem at ■
the time he killed himself. The charge against
him was not at alllikely to be sustained, as the
evidence was very Vague and inconclusive.
Tlie Court at New Castle has been occupied
with civil cases all this week, and it is not
probable that there will be any tvhipping
j next Saturday. Criminal business will,
•ji .however, be resumed next week, and
! on the following Saturday it is probable that
a number of other victims will be led to the
post. The trial of some colored men, on in
dictments for rape, will commence next Mon
day. At tlie preliminary examination; the
evidence against one of them sefenjed over
whelming. The punishment of the offence
is death, and where sentence is onee' pro
nounced, the law is usually allowed to take its
course, Executive clemency being seldom in
terposed.
Business is rather dull here and money is
scarce. Real estate is particularly dull, and
wherever property has been forced upon the
market it has been sold at unusually low
prices. An improvement in prices'is expected
after tlie completion of the new Wilmington
and Reading Railroad, work pn which is pro
gressing rapidly. Tlie road will be opened to
travel from here to Coatesville,‘in Chester

Much regret is expressed in sporting dfoles
that Delaware is to lose him, and had it been
known that $5,000 would jbuy him he would
not have been allowed to leave the State.
We recently had Lucy Stone and other
prominent advocates of woman suffrage here,
andthev addressed a very large meeting in
Institute Hall. They were very well received;'
and their remarks seem, to have produced a
' muelistrbnKer impression than is usually made
by, a single public meeting. A Delaware
Woman Suffrage Association has been formed,
and it has sent delegates to tho National Con
vention now ihsession at Cleveland; Ohio.
Olive Logan lectured here last week to a
very large and fashionable audience, and her
woman suffrage sentiments were vigorously
applauded. 1 learn that she rode over to Now.

THE ' EATB ANDREA—A.
A 'powerfully-written sketch of “Cardinal ';
d’Anilren,by his Secretary,” is perhaps the most
noticeable feature of the Galaxy of December:*
Theavriter civjes a tragic turn to his,-narrative;
with the following dark and mysterious conclu-;
eion: ■ - -
The Cardinal’s adherents among the “Young!,
Rome” party Were constantly on the alert, bus-*
jpecting yiofenqe. Buthlsenemies were-, fat (too;
wSry roresOrt to open acts. They remained/So;
quiet that, all suspicion was lulled to rest,except;
in the Cardinal and his secretary. It Is remarka
ble that wd sometimes find An idea aart Bud-;
denly into the mind, seemingly without causoj
or ramification. We reason against the enforced;
conclusions, it entails, but it doggedly ad-;'
heres to jus until .wo are forced to attend to it. i
This Was tlie case with the secretary'* probably ;
also with the Cardinal. The idea took this:
shape:—“The favorite -mode of obtaining!
secret information ~inUome-iS;byfeaveadrop-:
ping and espionage: nThis palace has been, for:
two moutbs at the bidding of those who knew
the Cardinal would return ,to it, They are;
anxious to know all he says and does; if pop-;
sible, all bethinks., They wijl study thb reve-;
iations 'of liis countenance in monients of;
abandon. And if they have designs”—here
the idea seemed going into extravagance, ’ Yeti
the very next day after I'had resolved these;
floating; thoughts into fixed shape, 'I Was
sitting at breakfast witii the Cardinal, when
he suddenly dropped his cup*of chocolate,;
and rising, went to a picture and carefully
; examined : it. On bis return to; the; table
I exclaimed: “,Your emiuence.is thinking. of:
Sir Walter Scott, but it was surely Imprudent \
to reveal tlie suspicion,’’ t He replied: “Merely ,
a fancy.” We looked at each other, and ,1
felt the same idea pass through his mind. ,We
were literally “eating our meal in fear.” Only
two nights before I was reading in that room,
and the twilight had deepened as 1 sat think
ing over my book. As I looked up,by,the faint
red glow of tho wood fire, I fancied that pic
ture,- a St: Francis meditating, had a peculiar
expression about 1 the eyes. Tberaptsaint looks
upward, ignoring mundanevanities; this looked
downward, and steadily at me. T felt inclined
to cut it open, but dared not. After ail, I im
agined the gloom bad deceived me, but now I
perceived the same idea bad passed over his
eminence., I resolved to make him under
stand that I had followed liis thoughts, “Do
you think,” said I, “ that St. Francis in his
meditations became sometimes a little distrait !
That his eyes wandered from heaven, for ex-;
ample, to some worldly object, say, as to the.
quality of your eminence’s breakfast, or be
came suddenly diverted by our conversation.”
He losked steadily at me, then at the picture
which faced him as he sat, but was behind me.
Then after a moment replied, “It iSa fatality.”
I saw no more of him that day. I heard from
the valet- that he was anxious not to be diS-;
turhed. I had no reason to think him ill. His
mind was distressed, but bis phyoique was ro
busfeand his liablts very abstemious.. Had he
been in the least ill, I should have heard it from
his valet.
Four dayrafterwards I was, informed that
tlie Cardinal desired me to spend tlie evening
in his private apartments. These apartments
were three, communicating. There was no
entry but the door of theantc-chamber. This
opened into a chamber well ' tilled with books,
and this again into the Caitiinal’s bed-room.
We had dined at five. His eminencehad con
tined himself to liis favorite and insipid OhablLs, I
of which he drank one little flask; I, to a :
more generous vintage of Biu'gundy. The. i
subject of our conversation was exceedingly j
important. With the idea upon us like ak in- ;
cubus, we conversed in low tones, and everand j
anon the Cardinal-rose and examined the outer j
door. Only vulgar listeners use keyholes. The -
conversation euded by my being intrusted !
with certain, documents to place in safe, !
keeping.
At half-past nine I bade the Cardinal good- j
night. He retired to say his office. I re- I
marked afterwards that a passage in the office ;
of that day was singularly apropos to our con- !
dition, ‘ffearfulness and trembling bath come j
upon me, and a horrible dread hath over- j
whelmed me.” Knowing the importance of •
the documents, I hesitated to keep them in my i
possession. Sealing them in a packet, I put j
bn a street dress and hastened to an English -
gentleman, who cheerfully undertook their
keeping. To bailie pnrsuit, I slept at the !
hotel where he was staying. j
I rose early and repaired to the palace. Tlie j
valet had orders to wake his master at seven, j
It wanted but a few minutes. I retired to my j
room. Scarcely a quarter of an hour elapsed j
ere the valet rushed in, pale with afiright, -ex- j
claiming, “His eminence is dead !” I followed j
him quickly to the apartment, having alarmed j
the household. The disposition of tlie cham- !
her was as ordinary. Tlie Cardinal’s dress lay :
oil a Chair,-as his valet had placed it. His j
breviary was open at vespers. The bed was- ;
the only thing disturbed. There were certain j
indications of a'struggle, although very slight. |
The usually placid countenance of the Cardinal j
was flushed and discolored, the eyes partially ;
open, themouth rigidly Closed. The two hands ;
grasped tlie bed clothes convulsively. A phy- j
siciau was hastily summoned,who pronounced j
life to have been extinct some hours. “From j
what cause ?” I asked, lie whispered, “They
will probably say apoplexy .” lam bound to
say that when I left that cliamber the idea
was rooted in my mind as a fact corroborated
by most dark and awful circumstances. The
populace formed its idea, too. |
I close tliis paper with an apropos account'
of the one thing that made the idea a fact to }
me. I was summoned to attend the Cardinal j
Autonelli, w.lio, after conversing on .a variety 1
of subjects, asked me for the papers I had"re- I
ceived on that fatal night. I attempted to !
parry tlie question, to ascertain how much he !
knew, when, to my surprise, he repeated ver
batim certain portions of tlie conversation
held that evening in the late Cardinal’s study.
I expressed my astonishment, and plainly in
formed him that he forced on me unwelcome
inferences. Here was a! proof that' some one
had been present during a secret conversation. !
How ? Where ? And if this person or per- i
sons could be present to see and hear, might i
not he or they have also power to do? ' |
I rejoice to say, though strenuous exertions !
were made to obtain the papers, they were as j
persistently guarded, and 1 have them now.
