” The New Ambassador.
" Inimitable JEiioJ-of whom it may be truly
said “ None but blmselftcan bo hisparaUol,”
dooa not escape the )vhlps of indignant news
papers. The New Forfc Tribune calls him “ tho
best-whipped man.in'the country,” as indeed
ho is, just now; Tho New Yortc Times, also
inclined to bo complimentary, notices his ban
ishment—we moan appointment—to Vienna,
aitd says:« Mr. Jones has no doubt all requi
site‘qualifications fortho place; but it is not
od'tbpt account ho has been soloctod. If the
people of his district Bad not rejected him at
’tfie recent election, the President would hardly
'hafd’Mjide a Minister of him.' There may be
a'jiiil'orenco of opinion on the question, who-;
trier a popular condemnation, sjiould bo an im
porativo , paasport to Executive favor. But
according to tho ,lau;s of, latter-day. politics,
Mr. BuoiiANaj? was bound to take care of a
.friend maimed and crippled in his service, and
he has dono it not only promptly, but, as the
Union' assures us,‘ voluntarily.’ ” ■ '
■' Ex-Reyorond Jehu has, evidently got tho
place on Dogberry’s principle of boing << tho
moßtdesartless man.” Not that be desorved
it,' or' that be desorved any, thing but tho
soundj disoomßtnre ho has, got from “Old
Berks.” .Ho is made Ambassador, simply
because the people of his orvn county, whom
he had.betrayed, ; had>lost .all confidence) in
him, and dosired to punish tho traitor. Lot
the principle .f ence , obtain that tho place of
honor is tor the man .whom his neighbors and
« old familfar Mends” contemptuously spurn,
and thero will be a bonus bn defeat. In that case,
. candidates will go in—-to be whipped. Anteus
llke, each beaten man will rise stronger from
the fall which mode him kiss bis mother earth.
The lower the fall, under the new system, the
greater the reward and honor from the hands
of the . Executive. This is a strange world,
and not the least strange thing in it is, that
want of merit has become a qualification for
office.

Lot us fancy Mr. Jehu G. Jones at tho
Court bf Vienna, conversing (through tho
medium of . an interpreter) with tho Prime
Minister.' What if that functionary asks him
what, special. services towards the United,
States recommended, him to the high diplo-.
matin office of Ambassador to Austria, what
reply can-he stammer ont ? Shall he say, «I
did-littlo as a clergyman, and less as a lawyer,
ao J tu'rhed politician, being what is familiarly
called '(rather hard hp.’ I porsuaded the
true men of Berks
coui)ty,flia Pennsylvania, that I would serve

turned me tOf Congrossi Very speedily, by a
miraculous process ofton practised at Wash
ington by legislative Mieawbers, I emerged
from humble into wealthy circumstances. I
ingratiated myself with the President, and
frequently ‘dined at his table. To swell my
own importance'and show how well I had got
'bn,T publicly taunted a bettor man than my
self with not having had his logsnnder tho
Presidential mahogany. I voted against tho
Sovereignty of the. People, which I was elected
to support;'and, finally, returning hack to
seek re-oloction from my constituents, was
defeated;”- 1
• The Austrian Count, if he has any taste for
hnmor, may' smile, while he says, «Ah,
Monsleur l’Ambassademyl perceive yon owe
your appointment hore to your unfortunato
disappointment- at home ( Von come from a
strange country, whore, because a county, kicks
yon, the Government elevates you to high
office.: They say, in fact, that because yonr
own ' neighbor's, Who' kniw you well, think
yon unfit to represent them in Congress, you
’are'jnst fit to represent your nation at a
Foreign Court.”
...How his Excellency,the Ambassador, will
.receive suoh a taunt as this—whioh may ho
lookod as well as spoken—wo leave to the lively
. imagination of onr readers. What the Empe
!ror of'Austria will think of a man sont to his
Court,'becanso he was a defeated candidate
for' Congress, may also be' it matter for specu
lative, minds to exercise their sagaoity upon.
Opco thst the particulars of his appointment
bo, .known! at Vienna, as known they will be
.long, ere .his « Excellency the Minister Resi
dent” reach, his destination, a contemptuous
feeling will probably bo created, which will
make any thing but a bed of roses fer tho amia
ble and illustrious Jkuu. Not even tho salary
by such a left-handed.compliment as Bonding
tp her Court, the very proudest in Europe, a
gentleman witb such unhappy and notorious
.antecedents as Hr. Jehu Q. Jones. For the
Ambassador is considered the representative
of the Sovereign, who is supposed to repre
sent tho nation. In Europe they are cautious
on whom they place sueh honor and responsi
bility. They select tbeir ablest statesmen, or
persons who,havo literally, been trained up to
official- diplomacy. 5 When - Queen VictobiA
had to send .an Ambassador to. ‘Washington,
after thg Crampton coolness bad cleared away,
she dfi not pay tbis countrysopoor'acom
plimont as to appoint a .broken-down political
hack, upon whom his immediate feilow-oiti
zens had put the -hand'of rejection and dis
missal.. She eoiected a .man of high ability
,md unimpeachod public reputation, who
had boon in harness, as a diplomatist, sinco
tho ago of twenty-one, and. had successively
been Secretory of Legation at Maples, St.
Petorsburgi’ and' Constantinople, before he
was invested with the higher functions of Am
bassadop.' Such' wbs Lord Mapiee, who >
kith.thb exception of a little neglect in com
municating’ with his Government, last sum
mor, on tho.rlght of sbarch difficulty, has per
formed his duties to the satisfaction of tho
'country-he represents and- that in which he
pQicially resides. , We are very sorry for Mr.
Jeuu' Jones. It was bad enough for him to
bo turnbd out of “ old Berkß,” but tho un
kindeat’eut is his banishment to Austria, of ail
place's in'the woflii, where ho may calculate
upon a « civil knt cool”, reception. It really
would bo better for him to remain in Wash
ington, waiting fbr something else to turn up,
and- occasionally -dining at tho White Houso.

~ In tho inidst ,of. tho prostration, of tho De
mocracy, it is lamentable to hear the quack
prescriptions by which the Administration or
gans propose to resuscitate the party. They
reason like tbe 'empiric who thought that as
pork and cabbage, had made' his patient sick,
plenty more of pork and cabbage would re
store' hint to health. The American people
have had too much to nauseate them. They
are surfeited with Lecompton'tests and Eng-

,to 'adyaneo’,thq, idea that on the.principlo (1)

BY MIDNIGHT MAIL,
W/'Xetter fiom “ Occasional.”
[Oorreapondencecf The Press.]
\ I i~ r } . Washington, Ocfc. 22,1858.
It Is seriously mentioned that tho Administration
is not indisposod to work'the Southern fire-eaters,
like Sprattand the followersof the Oharieston Mer
cury, (an avowedly disunion organ,) up to tho
highost pitoh of intensity and Bedlam ism, prior to,
and in. preparation for, the meeting of Congress.
A hope is entertained that some suoh talk as
that whioh Clay and Webster, and Douglas,and,
Crittenden, laughed to soorn, iu 1850, may intimi
date the timid of the North to falter in their
opposition to the Leoompton folly. Already have
the Mercury and kindred sheets raised the cry of
Northern aggression, because, forsooth, the anti-
Leqompton-Demoorats appealed to their people
that the, Territories should deoide for themselves
the obaraoter of their own looal institutions, and
were sustained upon that fair platform .It is a
stale triok. Journals liko the Riohmond Enqui
rer talk right out the language of wisdom and
soberness 1 regardless of the senselesß bluster of
those who are jealous that any should seek, with
out their approval, the development and prosperity
of any Southern State. And again are raised nul
lification threats in view of a remodelled tariff
system., Jackson put down this movement in his
day—certainly his Demoorsoy Is unquestioned—
and the people supported him; and now, as -then,
those threats are mado by those only who are re
ally and truly opposod to tho Democratic party.
Thero are to be immense rejoicings hero over the
appointment by the President of Glandy Jones to
Austria. Plinn, the navy agent, and a horde of
are to ereet a triumphal aroh at the
gates of tho city, I suppose, and to greet him with
shouts of applause, to whioh those of the Pratorian
Guards of Ro me would be a whisper, as ho passes
through on his way to participate in another of the
apioian feasts at tho Whit© House. May hlB di
gestion be stupendous!
Beoauso Johu bas boen rewarded for his treaohery
to his constituents, it would seem that some of the
Congressmen running for re-oleotion in New York
and elsewhore are determined to go to the very
vorgo, in the hope that after thoir defeat (whioh is
certain) they will likewise be remembered by tbe
powers that are. Vain Illusion! The defeated
now ten to one outnumber the golden places of
banishment.
Tho departments exhibit great liveliness in the
preparation of matter for the reports of the Seore
taries. Congress, doubtless, will be flooded with
statistics and oaloulatlons ingeniously intermin
gled and confused from the Treasury. Only the
other day the Union and Star published, evi
dently by authority, statements of the receipts
and expenditures of Che Post Offioe Department,
whioh left the impression, if they were not in
tended so to do, that whilst the receipts wore
$7,000,000 the expenditures were only $3,000,000.
In them, of oourse, were, not iooludod ocean-mail
contracts and other items. The fact is that the
expenditures will considerably ontreaoh the re
ceipts.
There are all manner ef rumors abroad brought
by the last European and California malls. We
bear that the Central and South American States
are beginning to got their houses in order for tbe
expeoted visit of tho Paraguay Expedition to their
shores, after Lopei has been chastised. It is
stated that Frenoh influence is strongly predo
minant in Dominion undor the new rule of
Santana, and that we are to get the cold
shoulder because we did not help the“ Liberator,”
as he is oalled, when he was attempting to depose
Baes. We are to have no coal station there for
our steamers. Cuba officials are delighted with
the brush that is to take place with Mexico, and
would not care much if there was a round between
Spain and the States.' We would then—
we, << the Republio of the United States of North
America ” —reoeive the trouncing we deserve, for
would not England and France, and God knows
how many others, help ? Bat there is nothing in
them thatl oan perceive. The bold acknowledg
ment of the Monroe dootrino by Gen. Cass, and
the resolution,with whioh it has been pursued,
more than ever seoures for us in our relations upon
this continent the respect and deference of the
other controlling nations of the worlds
ts?° Yesterday, we devoted an hour, pleasantly
enough, to a minute examination of the beautifal
white marble store, in Choßtnut street, nearly op
posite the Girard House, whioh Messrs. James E.
Caldwell & Co. will open on next Monday, with a
large‘ ‘and splendid stook of jewelry, plate,
watohes, and artioles of vertn. _ This truly
splendid store has been erected from plans
by Mr. John MoArtirar, Jr., architect, and
built by Mr. John Rloo, the owner.
We have had occasion, within the last twolve
months, to notioe several now and splendid edi
fices on Chestnut street, ereoted for the purposes
of trade. Among those most prominently figure
the stores of L. J. Levy & Co.. Thomas w
liti ifn'rrnnii—'i,
oompeiowita any, wiin.au or these. They are
all 100 a tod noar each other, and, Indeed, the
creotion of tho magnificent new hotel (whioh we
are glad to see so rapidly rising In the world, add
ing story to story, like a brilliant author) has a
tendency to oolleot first-class stores about it.
Caldwell's has a Tory handsome exterior. Tho
marble-cutter has done a groat doal to omamont
it, and has done it with grace and eleganco.
The external appearanoe, rich in florid adorn
ments, Is beautifal. When completed, it will not
havo a suporior in the country,—and we hero have
to sthte, in the most distinct terms, that there are
numerous seoond-olass stores In various oHies over
this Union whioh are superior to the finest build
ings, for like purposes, in Regent street, in Lon
don, or in the Boulevard des Italiens, in Paris.
Whatever is fine in the London stores is— stucco!
The interior of Caldwell’s is in kooping with the
fair ontsido. All tho wood-work Is of walnut. The
floor is marble. The walls ars ndornod with
fresco paintings by Mr. Kaiser. Towards the end
of tbe store there iB a splendid doable stair-onse,
copied from the stair-oases in tbe prinooly palaoos
of . Italy, (and particularly those of oharmod and
qbarming Venice,) with a double line of steps, up
to tbe scoond story, which, in faot, forms n gor
geous gallery, over whioh are three domes, the
sides of whioh are glass, while the top, whioh alone
is visible to the spootutor on tho first Door, repre
sents the clear asure, studded with golden stars.
They reminded us of Jossioa’s pretty speech about
“the sky inlaid with patfnes of bright gold.”

ohild’s strength may work, oan bo instantane-.
oasiy and simultaneously closed up by a stout iron
sheet whioh effectually prevents any marauding
attempts at ontranoe through the Immensely thiok
glass sides.
The end of the second stoiy, on tbe street, Is tbo
watchmaking and engraving department. Over
head, in a splendid room, whioh is reaohed by a
geometrical stalroaße, the jewelling and light work
of. Messrs. Caldwell’s eoneorn will be done. Tbo,
heavy work will bo continued, for the firm, in their
old manufactory, “downtown.”
Bank of the second story is a room, with a bath,
for tho accommodation, of the young men, assist
ants in the establishment. A library, for tbeir
use, will be instituted, and we regard this as n
very fine feature in this splendid establishment.
There are scores of notioosble things in this
establishment, which we are compelled to pass by
—leaving to others the labor ef orawling over de
tails ; of giving the length of this, tho breadth of
that, and the cost of the other.
VTe must not eonolude without a spooial re
ference to one of tho greatest embellishments in
his store—we mean the Ifgbtlng arrangements by
Cornelius & Baker, who have attained great
celebrity as true artistes in tbis respeet.
All the ohandeliors and catadelcbrsi are entirely
on suite. Jftronse is tbe material, and middie-ago
Is ‘the 'design, all through. Evory thing in tbis
department is wrought in the armorial manner,
and the whale exactly aooords with tbe general
obnraeter of tbe other fittings-up—or rather they
are subsidiary to it. Tbo ohandoliere and oande
lebra in the front store are light and graceful, yet
tbe material gives thorn an appearance of solidity
whioh well aooords with bll the rest of that de
partment on whioh they are destined to threw a
great deal of light.
There are prinolpal ohandaliers of groat beauty,
and ten large oandelebras on tho gallery railing,
each with five lights. At foot of tho staircase are
branso oopies of the oelebrated statues of the In
dian and tho Hunter, whioh Cornelius & Baker
made for tho Capitol at Washington, and (“ to
what base uses do we oome, Horatio?”) are uncon
soionsly supporting gas-burners. On tho stairs
lauding,we notioed a eouplo of fine armorial brack
ets. Nothing oan be more dolioate, and express
tvs (if wo may nse the word) than the trophted or
namentation of tbo gallery lights.
The mailod eavalieri surrounded with various
warlike weapons, and eooh with n bugle in hand,
as If oalllng for immediate aid—liko James Flts-
James 'in » Tho liady of tho Lake”—surpass
most things of the sort wo have over seon. Cor
nelius and Baker, wo nre told, were wholly loft to
their own taete in famishing thoßo lights, without
any limit os to oost. Thoyhavo done tho work
well.
After tho store is fully opened, perhaps we may
ro-vlslt it, and .communioate our Ideas of it to a
grateful olrole of many readers.

[Correspondence of The Press.]
The Republicans and Americans held, last evening,
la the Park, what for a few days post has been „ adver
tised a&d posted throughout the city as a.Union meet
ing against the Democracy. The call was For five o’clock,
but at that hour nobody was present excepting a few
ragged boys, who took possession of the platform and
went through a series of graceful gymnastics, such as
are peculiar to scamps of small dimensions, it was not
until six o’oloekthat the meeting began to comraenco,
and It then became evident that it had scarcely strength
enough to go alone. The Herald calls it a failure; the
Tribune devotes a page to the speeches and doings, but
says: “No measures were taken by the Committee to
have the intended demonstration properly announced,
and at the hour for which the meeting was called scarcely
a hundred persons were In the Park.” if it Is to be ta
ken as any indication of the anti-Democratlo strength
or enthusiasm, it was a pitirul failure. Tbe fact can
hardly be denied, that 'tho thorough organisation of
the Democracy, and the want of it on tbe part of the
Opposition, must result In a Democratic success. Suoh
is the prevailing Impression among intelligent men of
all sorts.
The Brooklyn people are moviog in earnest for an
opera house or muslo hall, and in that work have the
benefit of clergy. At a large meetingheld last evening)
letters were read from the Rev. Henry Ward Beectaer
and the Rev! Mr. Storm, and speeches were made by the
Bev. Messrs. Parley, Kennedy, and MoKee, in favor of
tbe enterprise. The cost ef the edifice is to bo $136,000.
The Brooklyn people are also about to erect another
edifice, at a oost of $175,000, to accommodate the
orowds who (look to hear the Rev. Ward Beeoher.
The trial or Dr. Galllardet for a murderous assault
on Ur. Cranston, of the New York Hotol, terminated
yesterday-In a conviction. When the jury pronounced
the verdiot, Madame Galllardet, who sat by her hus
band, went into hysterics, and produced a most un.
comfortable scene for-all who were present. He will
be sentenced to-morrow.
The Court of Appeals have ordered a new trial in the
Oanceml oase, attributable to the persistence and talent
of a Philadelphia lawyer—Mr. Ashmead.
- I am glad to note in TA< Press tho great hit xnkdtr
by Park Benjamin, by his new lecture on Social Life in
America. Ur. Benjamin’s name, who happen) to be
long to no clique, is not ventilated in the papers ef this
city as much as some of the favorites of the Tribune,
but his lectures here have nofer failed to be attended
by very large audiences. He speaks several times each
winter, before various associations. Eor our Mechanics*
Society—the richest incorporated body of the kind here,
and, I believe, in the country—Mr. Benjamin is regu
larly engaged every season j and, while other lectures
have failed to attract numbers, I. am credibly informed
that at his lectures last season more people went away
from their hall, unable to find entrance, than were ad
mitted.
The action of the Republican Convention of the Ninth
Congressional district—declining to nominate a candi
date against Mr. Gaskin, and recommsnding the Repub
lican electors to vote for him—together with a similar
action on the part of the American Convention, serin*
to leave tho course pretty muoh clear for that gentle
man. Two years ago Mr. H., as the regular Democratic
candidate, received 7,105 votes to 6,035 for Strang,;Be
publican, and 6,094 for Cobb, American. If.he can
combine the American and Republican vote, there is no
reason why his majority should not touch 4,000. A
prediction that his majority would be at least that, was
made yesterday in my.presence, by one of the most de
cided Administration men in the elty.
Tbe olty authorities have put a foree ot sixty men
at work to dear the ruins of the Crystal Palace. A con
elderable portion of machinery will be saved, together
with a vast quantity of Iron. When gathered together
It will be sold at anctlon, and probably realize $30,000
or $40,000. It Is rumored that the American Institute
la melting an effort to obtain a long lease of the ground
from the city, to rear upon it a permanent building Tor
exhibitions.
The revelations growing out of the supposed murder
at the gambling hell, in Broadway, opposite the Metro
politan Hotel, are rousing the blood of the people
against the gangs of blacklegs that infest the city.
‘‘ Vigilance Committee ” is a phrase frequently heard.
The opinion is generally prevalent that a murder-has
been committed, and the description given of the sup
posed victim leads to tbe belief that a Mr. P. B. Mid
dleton, of Goahen, Orange county, N. Y. t is the mur
dered man. He came to tho city about the first of
September, to draw a oheok for $2,700; since which
time nothing has been heard ef him.
The fighting-talk consequent upon the Heenan and
Occasional.
Morrissey “ mill” has subsided as suddenly as it began.
The brutal contest is everywhere spoken of in most
contemptuous terms. By the way, the first ring-fig&t
on record in this country was between the father of
Thoa. Hyer abdh man named Tom Beasely. They fought
as early as the year 1816, Hyer senior losing by an ac
oldent, through which he broke hfa arm. Both were
large, powerful men. Tom Hyer, who bet largely on
Heenan, announced last evening at Butt Allen I*, 1 *, In
Broadway, that he was prepared to fight and “ lick
Morrissey,” or any man In the world, for $lO,OOO.
Thomas is a considerable loser on the “ Benlola,” as
are other well-known sporting men ,* one bold gambo
lier having lost $5,000 and another $3,000. ,
The next excitement for Gotham is the Horse Bhow,
to commence on Monday next on Long Island. 'The

hundred dollar? each, end the whole making a total of
six thoneand dollars.

completing the .a-rangementa. in. the several. depart
raV?oraJ. 8 not an ything Hke' the attendance
which the attractionfl and the importance of the- exhi
bition should demand. We gave yesterday a pretty cor
rect general outline of tbe articles deposited; and have ;
time to-day bat for % few special notices of objects or
week° Btj ‘ * h * n ** exten,i «d during the coming
Among the articles, on. exhibition possessing what
strikes ns as peculiar merit, is the hair car spring, manu
factured by Messrs. A. B. Davit A 00. ifor the Oar
Company- These springs, which have been
Hatirsactorilr tested upon the Beading and Pennsylvania
Central roads, are manufactured out or ordinary tan
yard hair, first formed into 1 sheets of hair felt; and
after being subjected to a heavy pressure are encased
“ Sr ° n oands, of some twelve inohes diameter, render
if i hera SecWedly superior to the ordinary gnm or
ftfW " prtn K» either for csr springs, passenger or
springs °r bumpers. Their superiority
thelrßitapMcity and economy, costing from
25 t 036 per cent, less than the eliptio or steel spring.
while m durability there la an additional superiority of
some 25 per cent, at least. The supply is inexhaustible,
while Worn tho very principle possessed by the material
«ich single hair possessing an inexhaustible elas
ticity, there is no pomumUty of matting, and under tho
severest pressure subject to no expansion, but retain
ing tboJr free spring and rebouod. Use wilt but soften
them; BoweathercanafTectthemj tlie severity or win
ter, which is bo tryiDg to gum and eliptle springs, has
no contracting or expanding influence, and their dura
bility is durability itself. We have seen them tested
upon cars, and by a single sprlrg under a leverage of
about one ton, and feel oonvluoed that they are destined
to almost universal use upon railroads, while the prin
ciple is equally applicable to other things. The spring
is commanding the attention of the scientific and prac
tical visiter to the Institute, and receives unqualified
endorsement. The points claimed for' the article by
the patentees are, greater durability, cheapness, and a
pleasanter motion, it beiog a more perfect absorbent of
jar than any othsr spring in use, while It is entirely
uoaffectod by changes'of temperature, and therefore
suited to all climates.
Another object of interest is the railway telegraph,
patented October 6th, 1858, for the purpose of prevent
ing collisions on railways, deposit'd by Mr. Henry
Maule, Pine street, which Is in operation every evening
from 7to 10# o’clock. By laying a sectional telegraph
of any desired length, around a curve, across a bridge,
or on any dangerous part of the road, the trains run
ning over the road are placed In telegraphio connec
tion—the alarm being Bounded on the train, either
from the station or from the.train approaching In an
opposito direction, thus avoiding collisions or accidents.
Another collection of Interest is that of Strong &
Roe*’* patent scales, embraoing seven d-fferent sites of
platform aud capacity, from six tons to Tout hundred
P£ u pds. 8 T l eat peculiarly of their construction is
that the hay scales require no pit, which in many cases
costs as much as the scales. In addition to their relia.
bllity in point of accuracy, and their durability, they
are simple; indeed, we do notsee how they could be
rooreso. They are consequently cheap, and are guard
ed by a peculiar device from.sudden shocks, so that
heavy weights can be rapidly trundled on and off the
platform without any liability to disarrange the appa
ratus. So accurately are the larger aoales balanced,
that after weighing five tons they will weigh one hund
red or fifty pounds accoiding to the strictest test of the
smaller scales, whilst a test,of single and aggregate
weights may be compared without variation. The prin
ciple was patented by the above gentlemen, of Brandon,
Yt., in 1850, and the scales are manufactured by Messrs.
3. A F. B. Howe, of Brandou Tork, Tbe
mothodof its construction gives free movement to the
parts, in all directions, without frietion, and yet keeps
| them all iD proper plaee; the, use of check-rods is also
. unnecessary, for the platform does' not rest rigidly upon
i tho knife edges, consequently there can be no shock or
wear.
Tho display, by Messrs. Cornelius A Baker,of chan
deliers, lamps, Ac., of every conceivable she, pattern,
and style, is one upon which the visiter’s eye will rest
with more than passing interest, for their assortment is
certainly a magnificent one, and reflects great credit
upon our oity workmanship and enterprise.
Among the array of photographs, the display or Mr.
B. F. Beimor will rivet the attention. There are
photographs in oil, which are taken on canvas and
colored with oil color, combining the advantages of an
oil painting and a photograph If we mistake not, ;
they must supersede portrait painting, as tbe ptoture is
taken by the camera and Is therefore perfect as' a
likeness The process nf making them life size is «□-’
tirely new, and is peculiar to Mr. Reimer’g establish
ment. Any size picture can he taken from tbe same
negative, from a visiting card to life size. Tbe photo--
grnph visiting cards are a novelty, and are regarded
with especial interest.
1 But we have not the space to particularize farther at
present. The machinery room presented a math more
' lively appearance than previously, a great amount of It
1 being in operation with its magic powers, and ail driven
‘ by tho immense engine of Messrs Morris, Tas-'
i ker, ft. Oo Of the machinery, a ihlDgle machine, called
tho Ne Pius Ultra, attracted most attention, whilst la
operation, by its astonishing performances. A number
of other machines will , be operated to-day, including
i corn-ahellers, pnmps,engines, etc., which will make
the shed one of the moat lively scenes ever presented
within so small a space. We were struck with one pe
culiarity here; that eo large a proportion of the visiters,
Including ladies, should have found In this' room,
among the rough and power-producing machinery, more
attraction than in the other departments, where there
was so muoh that is beautiful and strange. But tbe
human mind leves to contemplate the grand and power
ful, and there Use much that is grand in the machine
ry which plies its powers by tbe aid of a little steam,
that wo do not wonder that even timid women should
be enchanted.
The Closing Day of the Week—Satur
p dat in tiir Country and Saturday in tub Oity.—Ba
r turday has always been with ns, at least while in the
oountry, as it doubtless Is with other people, a sort of
holiday—one which'we looked forward to. wherever
, and in whatever condition, with more or less of plea
sure. In our youthful days we honored Saturday be
! cause it brought with us a cessatlon from study, remov

day on which oar infantile footsteps might he directed

The Albany Atlas states that attention is belng.dl
rected to the fact that many of the twenty-dollar geld
pieces are being mutilated, by removing the larger por
tion of the milled -edge with a file, or some similar in
strament. The work, in every instance, gives evidence
from its uniformity, of having been done by the same
baud, leaving the inference to be drawn that certain
parties in New York are engaged in the business on a
considerable scale.

People’s Litehart Institutb Lectures. —
From an advertisement in another coloron it will be
seen that the coarse of lectures announced bj the Ma
nagers of the People’s Literary Institute Is one of
brilliant promise. Their aim has always been to secure
the most eminent talent, regardless of expense, and
their arrangements for the present season show that
they are raaintai ning well their reputation in this re
sp Mt. There are several names on the programme that
are certain to he greeted, trith a large audience.
Tickets for the course have been placed at the very
low price of one dollar.
Cohtsmplaied Beuoyaii.— A day or two since
we ventured to' suggest, upon oar own responsibility)
hat the popular millinery house of Messrs. Lincoln,
Wood, A Nichols. No. 45 South Secopd street, wonid aim
at a “ ten strike ” in the way of selling cheap, prior
to their removal to Chestnut street, above Seventh,
some few weeks henoe. We have since learned that
we ourselves made no less a “ strike ” In making that
suggestion, as from current report they are knocking
down their splendid bonnets at even more strikingly
low prices than we had imagined. We shopld think,
under the circumstances, that now was a good time for
the ladles to strike for Lincoln, Wood, A Niohol’a.
“ The Cry is, Still they Comb.”—So rapidly
is the patronage of the celebrated establishment of
Messrs. B. G. Whitman A Oo Second street, below
Ohestnut— for their superior Confectionery Increasing,
that, judging from the crowds that may he seen any
day in passing their store, we should think a still fnr
her enlargement of their quarters would be rendered
necessary. Upon Inquiry we find that the cause of
their popularity consists in the fast of their manufac
turing the purest and most luscious goods in that line
that are to he found in this city.
Gents’ Furnishing Goods.—The reader will
infer, we are sure, from this caption, that we are about
to say something complimentary to the establishment
of Messrs B. C. Walborn A Co., (now) Nos. 6 sod 7
North Sixth street; and if it be a flattering compli
ment to ’ say that these parties surpass all rivals in tho
way of furnishing a splendid stock of goods at reasona
ble prices, the reader is right in his Inference. Their
place Is worthy of, and is receiving, the largest pa
tronage.
Phrenologt.— John L. Capen, Eeq , of the
Arm of Fowler, Wells, A Co., No. 022 Chestnut street,
is now prepared to visit families for the purpose of
making professional examinations, give advice respect
ing the training of chi r dr*n, selecting occupations, Ac.
afternoon at 8"o’e!ock. and to-night. It is an exhibi
tion that everybody fhould see before it Is taken
away.
