TUE VINE ARTS.
Foglia " Nine uses " still bum a great
popular and modal attraction at Earley' Gal-
ReaCti's picture of " Sheridan'e Ride" is be
ing very successfully exploited at the
Academy of Fine Arts •by Mr. Pugh. The
visitors last week averaged betwoen four and
live hundred per day. As the exhibition in
cludes the mused of the Academy, a whole
class of our popillation who never attend the
exhibitions proper were introduced to the col
lection. A large lot of catalogues was
of in two days, and the edition exhausted.
I The subscription' for the chromo-lithograph of
" kiheridan's Ride" progresses as actively as
could be expected.
The combined Haseltine and Bailey collet.
tions, exhibited at Mr..Haseltine's mows, pre
paratory to their auction sale, form one of the
most attractive exhibitions,—and in all pro
bahility decidedly the most attractive free
exhibition,---ever opened in - the city. The
best pictures are of cabinet , size, suitable to
form the ornaments of a parlor. Of this char
acter are the gems in the small North gallery,
among which our connoisseurs, with watering
mouths, are now daily wandering around and
trying to make a choice. There will probably
be a tight competition for the small Spanish
character-picture by Ferrendez, entitled
"El fkicado de Cardenalo "; it is a velvety
Piece of painting, a 16Tc-scene - Of two figures.
Desgoffe, the best artist 'of still-life
in the world, is represented by a
splendid onyx cup and a flower; Schreyer by
Arab Scouts, a small study; Ceram!, a nurse,
holding a slim and graceful girl by the skirt;
7.amacols, a single figure of a man; Herhsthof
fer, the Gipsy in the guard-room, and a single
11gm e P !wan , Cavalier, , kick view, conduct..
jug a lady in a country scene; Meyer von
Bremen, a sewing-girl.; the best expression
01 this artist we recollect; the above are all
first of their class, and are enumerated simply
to give an idea of the wealth of a gallery in
which they occupy but a corner.

model sketch of the proposed Htunboldt mon
ument for Fairmount Park. the foundation of
which was laid last September. This model has
now been deposited in the room of the German
Society, 2.4 South Seventh street, where it
' enters into competition with two or three
other designs which have ' been furnished,
Mr. Harmsch's model consists of a portrait
t•tatue' with accessories, elevated on a base or
pedestal of a general cubical form, with the
proper cap and surbase. The chief feature is
the statue of Humboldt, which is simple and
realistic, and has been prepared after inspect
ing many portraits of the philosopher in his
own country, and conversing with those who
have Leen familiar with litsperson. These
oppertunities have given Mr. HarnisCh de
cided advantages over competitors who have
simply elaborated in America their idea of the '
great interpreter of the Holmes. The figure
of Humboldt in Mr. Harniseh's sketch repre•
rests an acute-looking man, with broad shoal=
den.,and a weighty head thrust a little for
ward, the latter having the features we know
from the portraits. yet. with more of
youth and briskness than are seen
in the ordinary likenesses afloat.
Ile balamtes easily upon the leti, leg,
the right being thrust sturdily forward. The
left hand holds a note-book close to thebody,
while the right hand.sweetis a pencil with an
oratorical gesture of demonstration. . This
figure, considered as a preparatory sketch,
seems
.to us - full of character, awl to fulfil
every retpaisite of monumental portraiture.
Some accessories are introduced, building up
a supporting group beneath the left 'elhow,
which are good in idea, though open to artistic
criticism. ilmnboldt's- studies of the celestial
economy are indicated by the genius of har
mony (a spirit with a lyre); b'earwg'tho Btatiy
globe on its wings; and his researches in physics
Ly a :.pliyiax, the emblem of mystery, who
pours flowers and fruits over the earth. We
should prefer to see these thoughts indicated
as bas-reliefs on sonic part of the design rather
than as figures in full relief vying in solidity
with the practical-looking portrait-likeness of
Humboldt. The design is adapted fdr either
bronze or marble. In Italian stone of the best
finality, the price would be ten or twelve
thousand dollars, the monument to be eigh
teen feet high. We hope that material will
be adopted, as bronze in a public garden looks
unpleasant, except when relieved against the
sky.
Better Stattownotutes.
Editor of the Evening Bulletin--Sm The
present condition of the station-houses and
• police quarters of Philadelphia is a disgrace
to the city. Uncleanly, ill-ventilated, incon
veuient, and prejudicial to the health of the
prisoners and officers, they are unworthy of a
town of 5,000 inhabitants,let alone a great city
like our own. Ii her station-houses this city,
we believe, is behind every important city in
the country. A large number of our
station - houses were originally pri
vate dwellings, which have been bought
and altered by the city, from time to time, and
which never were adapted to their purpose,
and never can be, by reason of their construc
tion. The police and magisterial business 'of
the city requires commodious, comfortable,
clean an 4 well-ventilated buildings, and it is
to be hoped that the city government will
have its attention called to a matter that di
rectly concernsit, as well as the reputation of
Philadelphia. • Respectfully,

Another Murder.
The Pottsville Miners' Journal says:
At Eastwick Colliery, Shamokin, two men
were left on watch on •last Friday night, oc
cupying a small house erected for' their con
venience. During the evening some person
or persons came to the door and demanded
admission, which was refused, and the door
held fast. 'Finding that the men on the inside
were determined not to open, those outside
commenced firing through the door, which
was of thin boards, with revolvers. One of
the watchmen, named Buchanan; was shot
and instantly killed, and his companion was
shot through the ear. The perpetrators of the
bloody deed are unknown, and the whole af
fair is still enveloped in mystery.
—The flakes cave down quietly yesterday,
but many a fellow knew what it was to have
the snow ball in his ear.
DISTRESS AMONG THE POOR.
ft
The Needs of Some of Oar Pa tri ft Charities
The Union Benevolent Association, Howard
Sunday School, Charity Hospital, &o.
A FEW . CASE'S AS ILLUSTRATION
App'ersl 1.6 the Rich and Benevolent
It is from no desire to awaken mere sensa
tional interest, but with the Lori that the
more earnest and thoughtful of our readers
may be aroused to increased activity, that
we ask attention to matters so urgent, and
appealing so directly to the responsibility of
each one of us, that indifference- would be
indeed culpable.
The Buten Benevolent Association.
several weeks since the 13unr,Erris - gave
notice to an appeal of the Union Benevolent
Association, published by nearly all the daily
newspapers, in which the fullest statements
concerning cases of extreme destitution and
suffering were accompanied with an announce
ment that the means of relief were nearly
us
exhated, and that in:the heart of this city
persons were perishing from starvation and
exposure.
This appeal was not unheeded, and most
welcome assistance has been rendered. Still,
however, the need is pressing. it is stated
that the suffering among tire better classes of
the poor has this winter exceeded that of any
year since 1854, and all are urged anew to con
tribute everything within their power to r e -
Here the prevailing distress.
The Howard Sunday School.
• From. the missionary department of the
Howard Sunday School comes another appeal.
We are told that want and misery have in
creased among the poor of the southern part
the city, and that if our citizens could but
" be induced to visit the abodes of suffering,
: 7 1eknes.s and destitution,"relief would be forth-
Coming.
The Charity Hospital.
Again, we learn that the excellent work of
the Charity Hospital is now partly paralyzed
for want of help, and that, in this time of unu
sual distress, seine of the wards have been
closed.
It would almost appear to be a melancholy
truth that in proportion to the increasing de
votion of the community to money getting,
and while a superabundance accumulates in
the hands of the few, poverty and wretched
nem become more widely extended, and the
usual sources of relief fail.
We have heretofore flattered ourselves, per
haps too greatly, that whatever might be .the '
condition of the poorer classes in over
crowded European cities; our country atlea.st
never neglected the sufferings of the deserv
ing poor. There is a popular belief that the
municipal provisions prevent the possibiNy
of actualmisery ; and many ask,apologetically,
with Scrooge, "Are there no prisons?—are
there,no workhouses:"
home Particular Copses Of Distress.
Genuine suffering shfinks from observation;
and though when walking the. streets by ,day
or night, we may perceive few or none of
those distressing public spectacles which for
eign cities afford, let us ntt delude ourselves
with the fancy • that the wretchedness we
might easily seek and relieve is less real or
less intense because not openly exhibited.. It
is true that the verdict " death by start "
has seldom startled ns, but we may well con
sider, without delay, the facts presented.
The lint-mentioned appeal tells us
of "a family living in a good house,
on Sixth street who had not tasted
food for 48 hours. A manager received a note
written in a beautiful female hand, appealing
for aid to keep her family of little children
from starving and freezing. The call was
obeyed, but in the meantime the husband and
father had - attempted suicide in despair at •
:,ceing his fluidly suffering without the means
to relieve them. A family of four little chil
dren were foundin fearful state of suffering.
Their mother lay dead on an old carpet on the
floor. A young woman of refined appearance,
pale and emaciated with consumption, was
discovered by a citizen in au attic on Willow
street, apparently dying, without fire, food or
attendance."
In th e annual report of the Association many
other cases are enumerated. An instance is
presented of the relief of a family,
consisting of a 'father eighty-five year 7
of age, sick and infirm; his daughter,
with a hitsband also• in ill health, and four
small Children. These had exhausted their
last mouthful of food before the visitor called
When from the diminished fund a dollar was
tendered, the woman exclaimed, with tears:
,‘ I know my Heavenly Father sent yOtt. I
knew He would come to our aid in some way.
I was asking Him for bread when your knock
came upon my door."
An Appeal for Help.
Many regard the imposition generally-Ora&
ticed as a justification of an unconscious heart
lessness, which they characterize as judicious
caution; and others endeavor to assure them
selves that the suffering so often spoken of
must be greatly overrated, and that in authen-
ticated instances of actual want—if worthy
persons were really dying from cold and star-
cation, in the agonies of unregarded sickness
—they would at least temporarily forego some
accustomed and little-cared-for pleasure; to
relieve such inconceivahle misery. Mean
while, almost on the way from home to the
house of worship—within one-half the distance
which we traverse with ease to reach the place
of amusement—some forsaken soul returns to
its Creator, under a roof which shelters
nothing but human woe.
None can longer excuse themselves with the
plea that it is impossible to distinguish between
the deserving and impostors. We are asked
simply to contribute that which is in our
power, however trifling, depending upon those
nobler men and women Who devote their
leisure hours to personal investigation of
these cases and to their relief, for the proper
distribution of our aims.
Let none hesitate on account of too limited
ahility. The more half-dollar, thrown away
upon a Scarcely remembered trifle, will be
welcome Mooed, and the cast-olf garments—
the torn 411111 unused bout-clothing—may yet be
made invalUable.
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
the Prince of Walea on the Witness .
Stand.
The Prince of Wales entered the witness
box in the Mordaunt case on the 23d. After
he bad been .sworn. - the Judged Lord Pen
zance, said :
Before Dr. Deane asks his Royal Highness
any questions, it is my duty to point out to
his Roval Highness his position under, the act
of Parliament passed last session. It provides
that no witness in any proceeding,, whether a
party to the suit or not, shall be liable to be
asked, or be bound to answer, any question
tending to show that he or she has been guilty
of adultery. Now, from the course which the
ease - has taken I .think it right to point this
out to his Royal Highness, and to toll him he
is not bound or required by law to submit to
any interrogations on that subject.
Hle Royal Highness wasthen examined by
Dr. Deane as follows : • •
I believe your Royal Highness has for some
time been acquainted with the' Moncreitle
family? I have. ' . • .
Were you acquainted with Lady Mordaunt
before her marriage? I was.
On her marriage did your. Royal Highness
write to her and make her some wedding
present? I did.
previous , to her marriage had she visited at
Marlborough House when your Royal -High
ness and the Princess of Wales, were there?
She -bad.
And has she gone to ,the theatre with your
Royal Highness.? She has.
We are told that she wag married at the and
if 1866. In 1867 did you see much of her? I
did.
And in the year 1868? I did also.
Were you acquainted with t3ir Charles Mor
daunt? I was.
Have you frequently met him? I have.
And with Lady Mordatint ? With Lady
Mordannt.
Your Royal Highnesi knows Htirlingliam ?
I do.
Have you been in the habit of meeting Sir
Charles there?. I have,
On one Occasion, I tbinkin Juno; 1868, there
was a pigeon match between Warwickshire
and Norfolk ? There was.
I believe your Royal Highness and Sir
Charles were captains for each county? 'I be
lieve so.
Was Lady Mordaunt there? She was.
With her husband? With her husband.
Does your Royal Highness remember the,
date? I think it was about June,
Did Lady- Mordamit score for one side?
For both sides, I think.
And in the course of that match did you
speak to . Lady Mordaunt at times when Sir
Charles was by? I believe so.
We have heard in the course of this case
that your Royal Highness uses Hansom cabs
occasionally. Ido not. know whether it is so?
It is so.
Dr. Deane—l have only one more question
to trouble your Royal Highness with. Has
there ever been any improper familiarity or
criminal act between yourself and Lady Mor
daunt?.
•
Ilis Royal Highness (in a very firm tonej—
' There has not.
There was here a burst of applause, which
was at once suppressed.
Mr. Seileaut have no' question
to ask his Royal Highness.
The Prince then bowed to his lordship and
retired, amid another attempt at applause,
which was, as before,,promptlysnppressed.
Sir Frederick Johnstone received a similar
Caution , from Lord Penzance to that given to
the Prince of Wales. He said : I have known
Lady Mordaunt from a child. I have kept up
on acquaintance with her. I often visited
Walton Hall. In 186'3 I. dined at the Alexan
dra Hotel with Lady Mordaunt.' I left there
at 12 o'clock at night. We sat in the sitting- -
room. No improper familiarity criminal
act took Place between us.
Remarking en the evidence of the Prince,
the London limes concludes an article as fol
lows:
The truth is that the Prince has been for
some time acquainted with the Monereille
family. The acquaintance with Lady Mor
daunt, existed before her marriage, and the
Prince,_ as a friend and Highland neighbor,
made her a wedding , present on that occasion.
Before that time, Miss Moncreitle had visited
at Marlborough House, and had accompanied
the Prince and Princess to the theatre.
The acquaintance was maintained subse
quently to. the marriage; as the letters have
shown, and little secret was the intimacy that
upon one occasion, when a pigeon match, was
shot between Norfolk and Warwickshire, and
the Prince and Sir Charles Mordaunt were the
Captains of their respective. counties, Lady
Mordaunt wag on the ground, keeping the
score for both sides, and chatting . now with
one Captain and now with the other.
The unhesitating denial bythe Prince of the
categorical question put to him completes the
picture. If we do not refer to the evidence of
Sir Frederick Johnstone it is because he is a
party to the etittse which is stills/Oft/dice. The
case of His Royal Highness stands by itself,
It is evident that the Prinee's error was
simply this—that he had.been too careless of
his reputation.
He had acted as a young man who does not
understand the passion too many have for
scandal, and had given occasion to miscon
struction through simple heedlessness. It is,
indeed, not easy for the young, even ` , though
they may be next the crown.to remember and
guard against " the ilercelight that beats upon
the throne."
Those who know Mario Antoinette 'as we
have now the power of knowing her, through
all the relations of her checkered life' know
how baseless are the calumnies which were
persistently heaped upon her name when liv
ing ; brit she.--gay, brilliant, charming, the
radiant vision treasured in Burke's memory—
reeked nothing of the malice of the base, and
her indiscretion accelerated at least the catas
trophe which caused her own unhappy death
and the destruction of the French kingdom.
The Prince of Wales has learnt,by a painful
experience, how watchfully he must walk
whose life is the property and the study of
the world. If royalty has many priVileges, it
must sutler not a few privations, and the
charm of personal intimacy is one that must
be almost denied to the inheritors of crowns.
The Prince has .had, indeed, before him t the
pattern . of: a life; not surely devoid of inno
cent pleasures, yet so carefully regulated that
it wa, in the eyes of all men, dedicated to do
mestic purity:
The.life of the Prince Consort was marked
by the nicest regard to the conditions under
which it has passed. Everyone will remember
the rules of seelar conduct the Prince pre
scribed for himself, and how faithfully they
were observed. We do not doubt that the
future years of the Heir Apparent will show,
by theirli lefty to this example. the halftone°
of the lesson tie has to learn, and that English
men will see exemplified in their King that is
to boa life purified from the semblance oven
of levity.

The Tribune says : •
, For some four years past an Englishman
named John A. Phillips, who is 28 yeara'old,
.and•came to this country from the Isle of Bar
badoes'about the time the war broke .out, has
been employed in the Internal Revenue office
of We Fifth Distriet,at No. XiB Broome street,
nearthelkiwery. When John Melfarg in
April last succeeded Lewis J, Kirk ,as
tor in this District, Phillips was'First Deputy,
and was so well recommended as a valuable
and trustworthy officer that be • was'. retained
without question in that responsible position.
No one in New York suspected Phillips of any,
misconduct, but in Washington it, began to be
noticed that monthly rejlort No: 76 failed to
come from the Fifth District, and Upon in
vestigation it was found that something was
seriously amiss with Collector MeHarg's stamp
aceount. Word was quietly sent to Super
visor Dutcher; about two weeks ago, to ex
amine anAreport upon the account in ques
tion. This was done, and last
week (Monday) Collector McHarg re
ceived a telegram summoning him to
Washington without delay. • Phillips, who
knew of this telegram, speculated with the
utmost 'none/la/once on the probable nature
of the business, and with inimitable sangfroid
expressed a fear that something was wrong
with the stamp account. Collector MCHarg
went immediately.to Washington, saw Com
missioner Delano, and returned on Wednes
day with a heavybeart. The same morning;
Phillips, on hie way down town, called at Mr.
McHarg's residence on Unionsquare,inquired
if he had returned yet, and expressed solici
tude lest the journey should make him ill.
From there he went to the ottice, and. then,
early in the afternoon, back to his house in
West Forty-fifth street. Here he gave his
wife C.:50, and told her ho was going to Wash
ington for a few days. With two v alis es an d
a trunk, and a box of cigars under each arm,
he left the house in a strange carriage, and in
less than an hour stood on the deck of the
Idaho, bound far Liverpool, deliberately and
cruelly leaving behind him the young and un
fortunate mother of his unborn child. One
of Phillips's acquaintances saw him on the
Idaho, and through this gentleman the first
news of Phillips's departure reached his' wife
on Saturday morning.
In the meanwhile, Supervisor Dutcher and
his chief clerk had spent the whole of Thurs
day night in examining Phillips's accounts,
and the next day, on complaint of Collector
Meflarg, Commisaioner Betts issued a war
rant for the arrest of Phillips on a charge of
having embezzled over S.:30.000, and altered or
suppressed revenue report:s•Nos. 51 and 76 to
conceal his crime. But the daring offender
was already beyond reach, and of course could
not be arrested.
As nearly as can be learned, this fraud was
committed on . the tin-foil tobacco wrappers,
Which are stamped by the printer. The manu
facturer buys an order for a certain number of
these wrappers, and usually pays for them in
a check, and these checks Phillips coolly
pocketed and cashed ou his own account. The
sum embezzled is not exactly known, but it
can scarcely fall short of 1430,000, and may
considerably exceed that amount.
OFB. CIRCIIMLOCITEION OFFICE.
A Reform Needed.
•• The need of reform in the civil service
system was contemplated from a new point of
observation the other day in Congress. An
Assistant Commissioner was asked for in one.
of the Departments, and while it was admitted
that the number of clerks employed in that
Department was largely in • excess of tho.
work to be done, it was contended that this
new office was necessary in order to a more
efficient management of a smaller force. It:
was stated that one officer has annually asked
for $lOO,OOO to pay clerks which he admits
the work of his bureau do not require.
Better disinies the unnecessary men and apply
the sum to increase the pay of fewer men who
would do the work in better time and in a
more efficient manner.
A lawyer describes, as follows, the steps it
took him to get his money on a judgment ren
dered in favor of his client in the Court of
Claims :
1. Went to chief clerk of First Auditor. He
stated the account and computed the interest.

copied and numbered the account.

Seine Very Bad Cast4.}me.
Henry Ward Beecher says
The brutality of breaking in apprentices in
the shop is only equalled by the brutality of
breaking in new students at college. Sol:ilea
our colleges, which have in them young men
that represent the best families in the coun
try, show what brutality there is in human
nature. In American society the grossest and
most shameless outrages and indignities - are .
perpetrated on those just entering upon col
lege life er apprentice life, that appeal
• to every instinct of honor in
their elders. And you ought to be.
ashamed of it. Every man ought to be
ashamed of it. It' there manything that would
make my blood boil, and fight quick, and take
the side of the weak; it is such things as that.
I do, not counsel yon to fight ; but if you ever.
do tight, fight for those who are weaker than
you are—tight for the woman ; fight for 'the
child ; fight for the good old man. No matter
if it is unpopular ' take the weak side.,
Although it may be to your disadvantage for .
the hour, it will bo to your advantage in the .1
long run ; for it will make you a man. .

of little consequence, compared with the per 7 ,
