learned and tbe. praeuftai.knen of America, (and many

Tmj publishers have gone thoroughly into this great

trauilate the work into various European languages.
The latest Cyclofmdia published in this country,
thirty vears ago, was merely a translation of Brock
hau’s German Conversations Laxlcon, slightly adapted
to American wants Since that time we have doubled
both oar population and our area; people! the gold re
gions, discovered a new continent, gone.through a war,,
buried osr third generation of great statesmen, in Cal
houn, Olay, Werner, and Benton f tmlt towns like
Chicago, all bur railways, our ocean steamers, our Iron
houses; invented the photograph, the eleotrio tele
graph, the lightning press, and fire engine;
introduced o)i*ep postage, steel pens, gummed enve
lopes, friction matches, gutta-percha, lee, omnibuses,
seeing machines, obloro'orm, Ac These matters are
rll dealt with iu this work. Folierin every department
and for every period than its predecessor, it has a nett
addition to it of the events of this period. '
Many thousands of doliers would be required to buy
book on all tbe subjects that ate treated ot in this work;
no ordinary library would hold them, and no ordinary
leisure would snflloe to consult them The possessor of
this Manual of Universal Rtfsrenoe has at once a com
plete portable library, alphabetically arranged, for a
moderate price.
Few are so poor that they do not spend twenty-five
cents a week in papers and magazines, whioh they may
not cho even to bind at the end of the year: this same
sum pat aside weekly for the time this work is appear
ing, will buy the whole of it.
Many are frightened from submribing to serial works
by tbe chance of lortog numbers, and the prospect of
a future and heavy expense for binding when the work
la completed. These fears in this ciflj are groundless.
The work is issued in nouao voldukb, in whatever
style the subscriber may deshe. It is at once ready for
use.
.The work will be published exclusively by subscrip
tion, in 15 thick 8 to. volumes, at S 3 per volume, and
eomp'etedby 1860. Volumes I, 11, 111 and If are now
ready, and the subioquent volumes will be issued about
every three mouths, payable on delivery.

IMONDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1868,
j! ; - The Foot’s Begging-Box.
Lamartine, tbe poet, bas been unable to
raise the money to pay off bis debts. He
threatens ,to quit France, and pass the re
mainder of bis life in England, unless bis
dei>ts are liquidated by 'subscription. This
threat, coupled with this expectation, is very
much on the trno brigand « stand and deliver”
style. In his excesßivo vanity, Lamartine
tbinhs that Frencbmen cannot do without
him, that, if ho expatriated himself, France
wqul4 be “a world without a sun.” Lodis
Nlff'di.EON put 10,000 ft-ancs ($2,000) into tho
Lamdrtine begging-box, and certain sympathi
sing noblemen and rich landlords in England
gate £6OO (or about $2,600) for the same pur
pose, What Americans have given literally
seems nothing to nobody.” .It is singular
enough that in Brasil more essential aid was
given to him, and by one man, than he received
from the congregation of his admirers in the
rest of tho world. In Kidder and Fietoher’s
<« Brazil and the Brazilians,” (an interesting
and' richly-illustrated volume, published last
yes ft, by Onup9 & Peterson,) it is stated, in
..motioning Don Pedro 11, “ When Lahar
-ixllults appeal for assistance was wafted over
the waters, it was the Emperor of Brazil who
rendered him greater material aid than any
otho#, by subscribing for five thousand copies
of-Jils work, for which he remitted to the sen
sitive litterateur one hundred thousand francs.”
Such relief seems not to have gone far, and
unless' Lamartine 1 * debts bo paid, his estates
must' be sold—which himself and a few ad
mirers think a very hard case. .. Is it not
bard,[also, on his creditors, that neither prin
clpsliior interest should be paid thorn 1
Hotels a man fast. approaohing tho mature

finance, who has lived en .prince from early
mabdeod, with a double fortune—the heredi

and fh° ready money received with his wealthy
Engljsh wife'. Nay, he -finally is presented
witb|il third fortune by'tlie Sultan. He mort
gagdl/his landed property, ho squanders his
wife*! fortune, he sells tho Turkish estate, and
now,jbeing what is called hard up, grumbles
and grieves because he cannot eat his lost
and ij-et retain it. So, he begs. The other
day,Wo are told by a French paper, Lamar-
Traßjaet his friends at Paris, made a two-
speech vindicating himself from tho
charge of prodigality, and triumphantly pro
clalmud that the amount of his dobts had
baontfixaggerated, as he owed only 2,200,000
That Is, this moderate gontleman

f FoSar own part, wo have littlo sympathy
for- tys. whining literary pauper. In 1848,
'whenflccldentally raised to a position, in • tho
dfeechtlve of the Frenoh Republic, be invitod
“ oppressed hationalities” all over the world
to call upon Franco—i. e. upon himself—for
sympathy and aid. This encouraged truly
honest ,Alr. Smith O’Brien, and the small

AttdWtr(tnany.of them 'wartc-hoarted young

his countryfsfbope,”) were led to believe that
■ platitndos meant wbat they ex
pressed, buff found that he no more intended
to serve Ireland then than be -means tojmy
hie dobts now. It is melancholy to think of
the fate of these jnventlo “patriots.” Smith
O’Brien is again in his old home, sans peur
et sans reproche, .because no ouo can say that
he broke his parole; the others are scattered
over tho earth,-exiled from their native land.
There,wero somofino, chivalrous men among
tho first insurgents of 1848, who believed tho
glozing words of Lamartine, and who, but for
those words,- would never have plunged into
that revolt which placed Ireland, most humbly,
at tho feet or her Saxon rulors. No, thoro is
no reason why the debts of Lamartine should
bo'paid by any but himself. Lot his estates
be sold and h is creditors thus be satisfied.
Notices of New Publications.
That there is an undoubted “ revival” in tho
book-,trade is proved by tho great number ef new
publications upon our table,some of them unusually
important. Foremost among these, (and to be no
tloed more fully in a day or two,) wo may mention
the third volume of Presoott’s “History of tho Roigu
of Philip the Second, King af Spain,” published by
Phillips, Sampson, «fc Co., of Boston, and handed to
usbyMessrs. Poterson. It is illustrated with fine
ly-engraved portraits of Bon John of Austria, an
iUegitlmatobrothor, and of Anno of Austria, fourth
wife, of Philip. The two great opoobs in Spanish
history are described in this volume—the rebellion
of tho .Morlsooes and tho War with the Turks, in
both of which Don John eminently distinguished
himself. There is an interesting relation, also, of
the Domestic Affairß of Spain, ns administered by
Philip, up to the year 1550. In tho succeeding
portion of this histoTy, tho most memorable event
will bo the fitting out and failure of the “ Invin
cible Armada. 1 * As Philip died in 1598, eighteen
years of his reign aro yet to be related. -
Here, printed on oroam-colorod paper, and illus
trated with the portrait by Sir Antonio More, with
a viowof Penshurst Castle and a fao-similo of ono
of his letters, is Sir Philip Sydnoy’s Life. Tho get
ting np is in the most poifeot stylo of Ticknor &
Fields, of Boston, (who have & specialty that way,)
and the elegant taste, the fine scholarship, and the
true feeling for the rom&ntio and poetic character
of Sydney, combine to make this volume a truly
valuable addition to our native literature. The
times as well as tho life of Sydney are illustrated
hero, and a good idea of his literary achievements
is also given. '
Among several books, published by tho Apple
tons, of New York, (received from Parry & Mc-
Millan,) there is one in which, while truth evi
dently holds the pen, a kcon satiric spirit has in
fluonoed the writer. We shall have ocoaaion, by
and bye, to return to this volume, for the informa
tion it conveys is accurate and extensive. There
is an account of tho Clearing House at New York,
(wbioh applies to a like well-oonducted institution
in this city,) and a sketch of Tho Panic of 1857,
with its onuses, which commercial men and all
people in business will do well to read and thtnk
upon. This book is called “ The Banks of New
York, their doalers. the Clearing Heuso and the
Panid of 1857, by J. 8 Gibbons," and isvory enter
taining as well as very instructive. The only
fault wo find with it is that It praises those in
quisitorial, if not actually Illegal institutions, tho
Commercial Agencies—which literally deal in
traders* oharaotors. There aro a groat many
olever wood-engravings In this volume, whioh
really illustrate tho text. The author has
most unquestionable * knowledge of his sub
ject.—Among Messrs, Appletona* more recent
publications wo have to mention “Meta Gray,*’
a domostlo story by Maria J. M’lntosb, favorably
known, by parents and young people, here and in
England, ns author of various tales under the nom
deplume of “Aunt Kitty.*’ In this new book,
wo find moral principle Inculcated, in conjunction
with religious feeling, without any attompt at ser
monizing. Many a young heart will this charm
ing book interest and instruot, this Christmas.
Another volume, by the author of “Aunt Fanny’s
Christmas Stories,” has tho somnolent name of
“Nightcaps, *’but we oan vouch for it that many
a youngster will do any thing, in the holiday-times,
but sleep % over its pleasant stories and its pretty
pictures.
Wo have another volume of Pofcorson’s Illus
trated Uniform Edition of Humorous Amorloan
Works—a series whioh, when completed, will bo
the best oolleotlon of nativo art and humor, and
ought to bo as popular as the came publishers’
editions of Blokens. This now volume oont&ins
T. B. Thorpe’s “ Soenes In Arkansas,” with J.
W- Field’s “Drama in Pokerville,” <fco. Of all
American humorists Thorpe is the raoiest and
best-sustained. Who is ignorant of his 11 Big
Bear of Arkansas,” and to whom is “Tom Owen,
tho Bee Hunter,” unknown ! As to Field’s
“Drama in Pokervllle,” it beats John Poole’s
Littlo Peddington. Theatricals out of tho arona,
altogether. There are sixteen original designs in
this volume, in D'.arley’fl happiest manner. He
does nothing in this vein, nowa-days, half so
good,
Messrs. Martian, of this city, have a now story
book, called “ Idolette Stanley, or the Beauty of
Discipline,” author’s name not given. It is a simple
story, well written, of a wbman’a life, oommenolng
when she was just blushing into womanhood, and
happily oonolndlng,'after many trials, .by whioh
she largely profits, with her settlement in the west
of Illinois, os a married woman.
“Quaint Sayings and Doings concerning Luther,”
oolleeted and arranged by tho Rev. Dr. J. Norris,
of Baltimore, has been published by Lindsay 4
Blakiston. It is a oolleotion of Lutherlana, care
fully and judiciously made—tho essence, in brief,
of very many volumes, in four different languages.
This book, unpretending as it is, has every ohanoe,
from subjeot and treatment, of extended popula
rity.
Two new stories, in a slnglo volume, by Mrs.
Holmes, author of " Lena Rivers,” will be accept
able to many in these gift-book holiday times.' The
book is published in New-York, by some one who
does not advertise with ns, and whom, therefore,
wo decidedly decline advertising, for nothing,
in this column. These stories are well written,
without violation of probability in the plots, or
exaggeration in the oharaoters. The book,' by
the way, is called " Dora Deane, or the East In-,
dla Unole,” and “ Maggie Miller, or Old Hagar’s
Sooret.” We prefer the latter story, in which the
Interest is not se painful as in the first. Both are
very readable, however, and will extend Mrs.
Holmes’s literary reputation.
Borne time ago, whon Mr. Augustus J. H. Du
gunne, (formerly of this oity, we believe,) was a
member of the Legislature of New York, he was
Seorotary of the Commlttoo of Investigation ap
pointed to visit tho tonant houses of New York
oity; The labors of these gentlemon oontinued
over a year, and the report Ho the Legislature
thereon was written by Mr. Duganno, who, in
deed, devoted his time and his talent to obtaining
and sotting forth the truth, on a subjeot at onoo
vitally important and painlolly interesting. That
report contains tuoh a vast quantity of acourate
information, that the Legislature must immediately
take stringent measures to oheek and abolish the
flagrant evils whioh it sets before them. Mr. Du
ganne, further " to point tho moral,” has written
a deeply affeoting story, entitled “The Tenant
nouse j or Embers from Bovorty’s Hearthstone,”
published by De Witt, of New York, and sent to
ue by Mr. Peterson. The form of this romance
of real life is in the guise of fiotion, hut the
Incidents present the sad reality of truth.
Painfully affeoting as this story is, It was im
possible to treat the subjeot in any milder man
ner. When the cautery is to be appliod, mere al
teratives must not be thought of. As in the ease
of Dr. Bangor’s recent and important work upon
Prostitution, some great sooiai evils must be
boldly stated, must be courageously oonsiderod,
if the design is to remody, to mitigate, to remove
them. Mr. -Duganne’s “ Tenant House ” ably
illustrates a difficult subjeot, and oritioally con
sidered, the literary execution of tho book is
worthy of its high moral and sooiai purpose. As
a moro story, it Is artißtioal, impressive, and in
teresting.
The oelebrated “Book of Mormon, translated by
Joseph Smith, Jr.,” whioh has for some years past
heen out of print, has been republished, in one
nwitly printed volume, at, New York. . There is
an historical introduction, very fairly written,
whioh adds value to this reprint. In a letter from
Professor Anthon, horeln quoted, giving his opi
nion of the Mormon MS. shown to him, he says
“ tho whole ended in a rude delineation of a circle,
divided into various compartments) arohod with
various strange marks, and evidently copied after
the Mexican oalondar, givea by Humboldt, but
oopied in Buoh a way as not to betray the source
whence it was derived.” Is not this very like
the figuro of speeoh called a bull? If it were
evident whence the idea eome, surely the sou roe
where it was derived could not be betrayed ? Tbe
Book of Mormon, now that Utah is likely to oo
.oupy publio attention for several years, ia likoly
to bo in great demand.

handed us a bstoh of capital cbildren’s books;
“Poor.And.Proud, or the Fortunes ofKatyßed
hum, by. Oliver Ajdln,” a domestlo story in which'
woghtTso
compelled to suspend the perusal, and resumed it
as soon us we possibly oould. “ Kato Reigler, or
the Fortunes of a Foundling,” and “ Walter Soy- 1
ton, a Story of Rural Life in Virginia,” are juve
nile tales also, very handsomely illustrated, and
welt written. In etpr young days there wore no
books like these—exeopt Miss Edgeworth’s. The
same publishers (Phillips, Sampson'* Co., of Bos
ton) have just issued “ The Arabian Days’ Enter,
tainmonts,” translated by H. P. Curtis from a
collection of stories very popular in Germany. The
translation is so very easy, that the book reads as
original. There are numerous Illustrations, alter
designs by Hoppin’. If tho tales in this book be
not aotnally Oriental) they are romarkahly well
imitated, rich in Eastern insidents and coloring)
but free from tho occasional coarseness whioh is a
drawback upon even the Arabian Nights. How
many people, old ns well os young,, will be
oharmed with this volume of Eastern tales.
Another work of fiction, from the same pub
lishers, and written, we believe, by a brother of
Professor Lowell, the poet, is “The New Priest in
Conception Bay.’’ Lot not tho name lpad any one
to fanoy that this is “ a'religious novel ” —as much
an anomaly as a theatrloal sermon. The scone is
laid in Newfoundland, and tho story breathes of
tho oooan winds and waves. Tho hero of the book
is a young Catholic priest, who eventually, is
ordained into the Protestant Church, and marries.
There is also a Catholic olergyman who remains
faithful to his creed. Father Terenco, whoso whole
“life is in the right,” is the boau-idoal of a
thoughtful, consistent, tolerant olergyman, and
his oharnoter is delicately and almost affection
ately drawn. We warn professed novel-readers
that tho earlior part of this story moves slowly on:
howevor, once that the author quiokens his paco,
bo advances rapidly onough. There is a great
deal of conversation in this tale; yet we do not
see how it could be abridged. Amoog the lighter
characters, Mr. Bangs, the Yankee, stands out —
but we could havo dispensed with him. A fisher
man and a smuggler who figure among the persons
of this story aro fine portraits, whether actual or
Ideal. This is probably a first work. If so, it
holds out vory considerable promise. The
will learn oonoontration, and, next time, probably,
take his stand among our best story-tellers.
A 'couple of juvenile story-books, from Smith,
English, <fc Co., of this oity. Ono, with illustra
tions, is a now volumo of “ The Aimwell Stories,”
published by Gould & Linooln, of Boston. It is
called “ Jessie, or trying to be Somebody,” is
orowded with good wood-outs, exhibits many
phases of domestio and Bohool life, and may take
rank (whioh is no small merit) as one of the best
of tho capital series to whioh it belongs. Another,
to be called “Jerry, or the Sailor Boy,” is an
nounced as in the press.
The other, published by Stanford Dellsser, of
New York, oontains nine storlos called “ Tho Yule
Log,” from the English habit, which is still re
tained, of assembling evory Christmas eve rouDd
a fire, made of a great log (or root of a tree,) and
wlliug away the hours with song and story.
Thoso are vory pretty stories, tinged with Orien
talism, and sufficiently varied and wonderful to
delight young people.
We presumo that Gant & Volkmar are tho Phi
ladelphia agents of Mayhew & Baker, of Boston,
having sent us several of their juvenile works.
These are very neatly, and we might say, profusely
illustrated. In particular, we would recommend,
as one of the best story-books of the season, a se
quel to the well known “ Swiss Family Robinson.”
The volume before us, entitled “ Willis the Pilot,”
takes up the four Swiss boys of the earlier story,
and takes them to the South Boas, in oompany
with an old “ salt,” tho boatswain, who, out of all
rule of promotion, is made seoond lieutenant of an
English sloop of-war, whioh he had saved, with her
orew ! Tho adventures detailed in this story, and
the conversation, whioh contain a great deal of
scientific and geographical information, will re
commend it to the vast olnss of readers for whom
It has been written.
. A new history of tho Revival of 1857-8, pub
lished by Scribner of New York, is “ The Power
of Prayer,” by Samuel Ironous Prime, author of
“ Travels in Europe and the East.” It merits no
tice as by far the boat written book upon such a
Bubjeot.' if there bo a fault, it is that Mr. Prime
hnsatondenoy to verbal ornamentation,—he ra
thor steps on air than treads on earth in his de
scriptions. In a narrative of facts, suoh as ho had
to deal with, the utmost simplicity of diction
would have been more effective than his evident
efforts at fine writing. For example, the account
of the conversion of an Infidel lawyer, whioh is
here spread over twenty pages, would havo beon
more effective, if told in plainer words and at half
tho length.
E. H. eßutler * Co. have sent us two little
volumes publlshod by Sheldon, Blakeman, <fc Co.,
of New York. These aro “Blind Bartimous; or,
the Story of a Sightless Sinner and his Great Phy
sioian,” by Rov. William J. Hoge, of Virginia;
and the other is ontitled “ The Living Epistle; or
The Moral Power of a Religions Life,” by Rev.
Cornelius Tyree, of Virginia, with an Introduction
(whioh .the book really did not require) by the Rev.
Dr. Fuller,’ of Baltimore. Both books are written
TWO CENTS.
with ability and pious zeal, and will be acceptable,
we doubt not, to a wide oirole of Christian readers.
From W. B. Zieber we have received the Decem
ber number of the Historical Magazint, whioh
doses.the second volume. This publication fs to
this ooontry what “Notes and Queries” Uto Eng
land, and we strongly recommend U to all who are
interested in the Antiquities, History, and Bi
ography of America.
Mr. Zlober has also gent,us the “ Eoleotio Maga
zine” for this month. This periodical would pro
bably extend its oiroulation if it drew less upon
the British Quarterly, reprinted by Leonard Scott,
of New York, more upon the magazines which are
less known in this country. Purchasers do not
lilre paying twioe for the same matter. The illus
tration for January will be Shakspeare and bis
Friends, to match the Scott group presented a few
months ago.
A. S. Barnes, of Hew York, has published a
compact little volume called “ Plymouth Sabbath
School Collection',” by H. E. Matthews & John
Zundell. This is a small bat very good oolJeotlon
of hymns and tunes, with the musio neatly and
clearly printed. It deserves to be largely used in
Sabbath sohoQls.

Forgery Case. —Quite a crowd assembled
at Recorder Eiieu’s office on Saturday evening to see
Myers and Pe<erman (*‘ the alleged forgers,») and to
hear the testimony which might be elicited at the final
hearing, on the charge of forging several'cheeks;
amounting to $917, on Andrew Lnkens on the Kenslpg’-
t-n Bank. The evidence is strong ag&iost Peterman
that he filled up the checks. The boy who presented’
the lest check, after the forgery had been discovered,
Identified Myers as the man who met him in the street
and employed him to present it. Myers' belongs to
Wilmington, Delaware, where he was arrested. The
defendants were both committed, in default or Ml, to
answer the charge of forging the checks on the ftfStag
ton Bank. Peterman was also held for a forthei&ear
ing oh the charge of forging the name of Mr. S&phen
Toram. He positively dented the oharge, and beoame
very much excited when it was brought against him.
Peterman has a wife and several children, ami previous
to the above charges has always occupied a respectable
position In society. After the hearing on Saturday
evening it was rumored that Peterman had threatened
to commit suioide, and upon searching him a quantity'
of strychnine was found in his pocket. The .drug was,
of course, taken from him before he was sent to prison.
The Kilitabt.— The nineteenth anniversa
ry or the organisation of the National Guards was ce
lebrated on Saturday eveniog, at their new armory. A
handsome entertalment was provided to whioh the com
pany did amply justice, after which, appropriate speech
es were made, and i eceived with that enthusiasm whioh
characterizes all the movements ’of 'this well-drilled
company. We understand that this company will ap
pear in their handsome new uniform at their next pa
rade. The breastplate will hare upon It a likeness of
General Scott.
A number of young men, most of whom are members
of the Franklin Hose Oempsny, are making an effort to
organise a target or rifle company. • As tbere Is no mi
litary organization in that seotloa of the city, they*
will, douotless, succeed informing a good company.
The patriotic citizens of the Eleventh, Twelfth, and
adjoining wards, who are in favor of forming an artil
lery corps, to be called the Jefferson Grays, will hold
a meeting at the Military Halt, Third street, below
Green, this evening, where all in flavor ofthe projeot
are cordially invited to attend.
A Wise Son.—A man giving the name of
Cornelius Conner called at the central police station
on Friday, and said that he wished to find hts " boy.”
who was somewhere in the city, and invoked the aid
of the police in that purpose. He described the afore-'
said " boy,” amj, the.police soon diseovo'ed a person
who answered the description. The latter said that
hU name was Connor, but appeared to be exceedingly'
Btupid.’.-He said bo was twenty-two years of age, bnt
did not kn. w whore he was, where he lived, where his
father resided; or anythlog except that he -had been
ditching at Dover, Delaware.” The father was also
a mysterious personage. The officers could learn
nothing froyi him except that he was going out West. ;
Another Soldier Gone.— Several 'com
panies were out yesterday afternoon to pay the last
tribnte of affection and respect to Moses M'llhaney,
who was buried from hid residence, in FitzwAter street,
above Eleventh, He was a member of Captain Hill’s
company, In Mexico. The number ot these gallant
soldiers who did such active 'service during the ’Cam
paign against Mexico is-rapidly diminishing, and
the time will toon come when there wIU/be scarcely
any left to tell the tale of daring adventures and suc
cessful exploits during that memorable campaign: bnt
the pages of history will Always keep thfeir names Ini-'
mortal; and the hearts of tmeiAmerioass will, thrill:
with pride at the remembrance of their patriotism.
~.,'Aooideht.—-About eight , o’clock on Satur

omnibus belonging to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany war passing, and the wheels slipping from' the
track, the vehicle and one of the horses were precipi
tated into the opening. The animal was extricated from*
his unpleaaent situation after a great deal of labor,
without receiving any injuries. Fortunately, no damage
wa*done. The accident caused a complete stoppage of
the operations of the passenger railway company, and
: quite a number of cars gathered at the spot.
A Fine Arrangement. —We are pleased to
learn that Lieutenant Joseph Fuller of the first police
district, has instructed the men under his charse to ar
rest all the disorderly gangs of young rowdies who have
been, for some time past, in the habit or congregating
at the different street-corners'of the First and Second,
wards, to the serious annoyance of -the respectable por
tion of the community living at these different points,
.and the pedestrians who daily oome in oontaot with
them. Lieutenant Fuller has expressed a determina
tion to make his a model district, and we hope the'
lieutenants of the other wards will follow his example.
Swindling. A genteelly-dressed . man
called at Jehu P Cooper’s dry-goods store, 1901 Mar
ket street, on Saturday afternoon last, and purchased
two pieces of Irish linen, which he directed to be sent
to bis residence, at Nineteenth and Pine’ streets, when
he wonld pay for them. The goods were sent accord
ingly, and when the boy delivered them he directed
him to return and bring a piece of muslin that he hid

The boy obeyed orders, but wheu he reached the place
the rasn had vanished with the linen.

that the police were not able to discover him ' He

have no doubt that our vigilant detective police will
yet succeed In capturing him. -
Pbaisewobthy Resolution.— At a meeting
of the Fame Hose Oompany, the following resolution
was unanimously psss'ed, and we hope our readers will
peruse it with gratification. The resolution is, that the
Fame Hose Company procure one thousand feet of ten

for forcing hose. The company will leave the
hose now on their apparatus for the nse of the neighbors

.Escape of the Nicaraguan Filibusters—
A Crisis in Foreign Affairs.
Washuqtoh, December 11.—The reoest escape of
the filibusters from Mobile, exeites the most intense in
wrest in.official quarters, as it is considered that
« they shall be arrested by the British and other
foreign forces,, the volunteer feeling of this country
would he aroused to the highest degree of -ex
citement, aud immense reinforcements rush to their
rescue.'
Hence a crisis In the foreign relations of our Govern- ✓
ment would be precipitated, ’and a’ most angry and
threatening state of things probably result between our
Government aod those* ef Great Britain, Franca, and
Spain.
The question would arise whether the European Go
vernments should bo allowed to interfere for the regu
lation of affairs upon the American continent, by the
prevention of which our Government would btreom
mltted.
The Union of this morning, referring to the subject,
.says.: "It is to be hoped that our own naval vessels
may yet succeed,in intercepting the: fugitive schooner
bringing her back to our ports, and p’oierving
this fll.buster question still longer as a purely domestic
onein our polioy. Upon the vigilance of onr officers
in the waters of the Gulf may depend in agreat measure
the peace of the world.”

The Girl in Boy’s Clothes,— Judge Pru
den, of Cincinnati, last Friday disposed of ibo
case of the young girl. Jane Anderson, who was
arrosted for wearing boy’s ololhes, by sending bor
to the oityprison for ten days. Upon'heating the
sentence, she lost her customary self-possession,
and shed tears for the first time. During her im
prisonment it isprobabie that the Polieo Committee
will procure for her fomaie apparel, in which she
oan leave the prison, to be laid aside agaiu v on the
Brat opportunity, ns she appears to be entirely
wedded to her masoaliue toggery. Previous to her
A Test, she had been at work severed days, t •gclhf'r
with the young ohap who represents himself as her
half-brother, upon acoal boat near New Richmond,
and was regarded naan excellent band. She drank
nothing, but worked steadily and faithfully, and
no one suspected that she was not what she ap
peared—an industrious boy.
Just previous to her arrest, she had been playing
euohre in a coffee-house for “the drinks,” and her
awkward manner of handling the oards attracted
attention. Having lost, she invited the party to
the counter to drink, herself indulging in “ sto
mach-bitters” only, and tossed her money upon
the oonnter with the air of a man of the world who
was familiar with its A«r-berous ways. A few mi
nutes after she was taken into ouatody by an offi
cer, and locked np. The half-brother was yester
day discharged. Altogether, it is a case of peculiar
strangeness and interest.
