Under the influence of the Telegraph

Saturday evening. On Sunday the one.
raters held a meeting and decided to take
united action in the matter. The result
was that about all the operators at nine
o'clock this morning ceased to operate
and declared their intention never to re
name work until two men at San Francis
co were fertored to their positions and for
' Mar pay. Theseveralofilcers of the West

their places at the tables and transmit

day. Fortunately for the company,

in other :pursuits. Employment at
good wages was imme3ately offered
and before dark about enough men were
engaged to till the vacancies, and by to.
morrow they hope to have everything

result of this feeling of despair one man,
at least, literally starve himself to death
in spite of all that could be done to pre
vent him. No wonder that to me this
boasted Pennsylvania system came to be
the embodiment of the Idea of force and
harshness. I had seen these men eel
dently needing instruction-the treat
ment of the highest tnedloal culture for
mental disease-Malformatiou of tho
brain, and the misfortune of the
lack of proper parental training,
and suitable Ctuistain, restraint in child-'
hood, rather than severe punishment for
the wrong doing of riper years. I had

from attempts to carry them out. Not

New Year's Day Reception—The Tana'
on Iron and Meet—Distiller. and the
Fermentation Period.
WASHINGTON. JaILUElry 2, 1870
TIER YEAR'S DAY AT TEE CAPITAL.
Always gay, always furnishing for all
tastes a satiety of enjoyment, New Year's
day passed off yesterday in this city,
marked with an Unusual degree of pleas
ure to all whose health permitted a visit
among friends or to do the honors at
hoMe. The weather was all we could
have wished for. The thermometer stood
about forty degreei Fahrenheit, and the
genial rays of the sun darted from behind
threatening clouds often enough during.
the day to assure us that old Sol kept an
eye single to our Interests for the once,
and would not permit the black monsters
to expectorate upon the earth's inhabi
tants till after festivities were over. We
usually have disagreeable weather for
New Year's day, and the hack drivers
reap a golden hantst, but yesterday
pedestrianism was the more acceptable
method of perambulation and was more
generally adopted than has been the case
formany years.
TUE RECEPTIONR.
The President led off. At 11 o'clock, e.
11., he receivetl the Cabinet, them the di
plomatic corps, Senators, Repreaentatives,
Judges of the Supreme and minor Courts,
officers, clerks and others, officers of the
army and navy, veterans of the war of
1812, and the association of oldest inhabi
tants.
. .
At half peat twelve the gates were
opened to the public, and a constant
stream of gentlemen and ladies poured
In and out the White House.
The visitors were presented to the Pres
ident In the-Blue Parlor, by Dr. Alexan
der R. Sharp, Marshal of the District,
and to Mrs. Grant by General Kehler.
Vice President Colfax assisted the Presi
dent, and Mrs. Grant was supported by
Kra. Sharp, Mrs. Dent, Mrs. General
Porter and Mrs. Smith, of Washington,
Pa., a visitor at the Executive Mansion.
Vice President Colfax,Secretaries
Fish, Boutwell,Kobeson,telknap, Cox,
Postmaster General Cresswell, Attorney
General Hoar and Chief Justice Chase,
gave brilliant - and well attended
receptions. Among the ' vast num

Master Edmunds, "The ladies of. the Pa

hosts of others. One important feature at
the receptions yesterday was the lack of
ardent spirits. The determination seem
ed to be to discourage their use, and the
President, Cabinet Ministere, and others,
refused to famish liquors or wines—ex
cept in a back room, Isom which inevit
able place newspaper men, ministers of
the Gospel and temperance lecturers were
punctiliously excluded. Among the most
genial receivers was our bachelor Secre

The Committee of Ways and Means
will meet again to-morrow. There is a
general disposition this year to reduce
the tariff somewhat,' and yet the great
question to be conaidered le, whether in
the consideration of the articles of Iron,
steel and coal a lower tariff oa - those arti
cles would not act to the great injury of
those great interests in Pennsylvania and
other sections. The Committee agreed
to recommend a reduction of the duty on
pig iron from nine to seven dollars per
ton. It is now claimed by those who
know, that if the House agree to the re
duction, the soft pig ltteported from Scot.
laud will enter to a dangerous extent in
competion with the Irons of Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio and other Western
States. General Kegley will oppose this
reduction. James N. Cooper, of Pitts
burgh, was In this city a short
time ago. Judge Kelley knew his man
and introduced him to the Committee as
one thoroughly conversant with the
business of manufacturing steel. He
waited all one day outside the door,
enough to disgust a man who is less per
tinacious In adhering to the consumma
tion of a duty, but being 'called in next
day, argued the subjett of steel for more
than twohours. lie strongly opposed an
average of the duty on steel at a common_
rate of three cents per podad, tor the
reason that It gives greater protection
than the lower grades need, while the
manutlctorer of high qualities would-be
left at the mercy of foreign monopolists.
A rate like that proposed, would stop all
mantlfactures of watch springs, cutlery,.
fine saws, axes, axles, sabres, bayonets,
the boxes, &c., in the country. lie ad
vocated the reduction of duty on paddled
or blistered steel, or-steel other than cast
or shear, to 2j- cents per pound, and that
a rate of al cents be placed on cast steel
in ingots, DWI, coils, rods or sheets; and
that all circular and snail shapes, castor
cut to pattern, pay 5 cents • per pound.
Unless these rates are obtained, then the
steel manufacturers of the country will .
oppose any change In the tariff on that
article. 'Probably, unless our men fight
it bard, the Committee's action la reduce
lug the duty on steel mile to two cents
will be adopted by tho House, and then
It will be expected that a liberal margin
will be made on higher grades to protect
our mauuracturent.

this model a few minutire t-auch, fur in

been omitted. Still, so small are some of

with hexagonal nuts, which can be loos.

As wa came hither to night we were
much amused in the smoking car by a
tipsy, uxorious gentleman, evidently lull

drunk as was that celebrated genders=
after he had ventured to pia 'the cursed
Burgundy on top of the brandy." He
continually ehaunfed out, in baritone
style: "My little wife wears dollar brace
lets."" My little wife wears a dollar
ring." "My little wife wears a dollar
breastpin." A nervous, sple.netic biped
dually burst out with, "Dry upl shut upl
d—n your wife!" "Ah, hal" rejoined
the devoted husband, "d—n my wife,
air. Sir, my wife is an angel, and that
thing can't be done. The dtikpel is
against it. No, sir, an angel can't be
damned." This good, funny retort,

Tun Corinne, Utah, Reporter, 'after

remarks:
We are sorry to say that the Post's in

mortality among Mormon children. It
Is not, however, very well informed, or
else wishes to draw it very mild, for In
stead of some of the bosses of large ha
rems like Heber Kimball's, burying only
forty-eight children, we can show the
Post polygamous graveyards of one fam
ily, as they call them here, that will foot
up nearer one hundred apt' forty-eight.

cago's pet was arraigned before the court
yesterday for stealing. On the lad's sr,
rest he was questioned as to his parents,
and word was sent to the father. The
paternal Allen appeared in court, yester

to the dock be was confronted by his
father, who naked: "Did you ever see
me before I" The boy raised his eyes in
a quiet, puzzled way, and, atter a mo

" Yea, I believe I have seen you
before." He then turned to the Judge
with an air which seemed to ray: "Go
on ' old fellow, I'm ready." The father
stated that the boy bad not been at home
for nine months, and during that time he

tbat the little fellow has been living the
life of a regular freebooter. He was sea

The question of the daily supply of
food for the family has always been one
of serious embarassraent, quite apart
from thOfinancial question. Poor Marie
Antoinette thought it 'triage that the
people of the faubourgs would persist in
starving when there were buns to be had
at the baker's, overlooking the trivial dif
ficulty of a want of francs. But in our
modern civilization, there are hundreds
of excellent persons who have plenty of
money; and who are yet sorely troubled
about the "daily matter of dinner. The
sorrows of young housekeepers have fur
nished the Whitt with an unfailing topic
for pen and pencil these many years; and
at the very mention of an establishment,
the ills of "servantgalbun" and the fright
ful prices of vegetables and butchers'
meat rise up against the horrors of the
boarding-house, and "give us pause." -
In New York and It& neighborhood
the evils of extortion at the dealers, and
of bid cooking in the household have
grown almost past toleration, and incline
us to look with favor upon any proposed
means of relief.
-To the citizens of Brooklyn this relief
has come in a shape which may be said to
be a fair subject. Professor Blot, with
whose reputation everybody is familliar,
him astabilahed on Hamilton Street, the
Brooklyn Central 'Kitchen, from-which
depot of supply, he will be mady,adter
the 10th of-January, to sand out to all
families living within a radius of three
miles, cooked food to every variety. It
will be served in tin cases, like Norweg
ian kitchens, and thniskept warm, and•the
customer can obtain at the shortest no
lice a dinner, a supper a collation, any
thing that may be - desired for the house

The Cardiff Giant Outdone
On Tuesday morning last, while Mr.
Wm. Thompson WRS engaged in making
an excavation about half a mile north of
West Hickory; preparatory to erecting_ a
derrick, they exhumed an enormous
helmet of iron, which was corroded with
rust. Further digging brought to light a
'word which measured nine feet lnlengtb.
Curiosity incited them to enlarge the hole,
and after some little time they discovered
the bones of two enormous feet. Follow
ing up the "lead" they had so unexpect
edly struck, in a fell hours timethey had
unearthed a welipreserved skeleton of an
enormous giant., belonging to a species of
the human family which probably inbab•
Red. this and other parts of the world at
that time of which the Bible 'pests,
when it say s , "And there were giants in
those days . "
' The helmet is said to be of
the same shape as those found among the
ruins of Nineveh. The bones of the
skeleton are 'remarkably white. The
teeth are all in their places, and all of
them are double and of extraordinary sire.
These relics have been taken to Tionesta,
where they are visited by large numbers
of people &Ili. •
When his glantsldp was in the flesh, he I
must have stoodeighteen feetiubil stock
ing& These remarkable relics :will be
forwarded to New York early next week.
The joints of the skeleton are noW being
wired together. These remains were
found about twelve feetbelow the surface
of a mound which had been thrown tp
probably centuries ago, and which, was
not more than three feet above the level
of the ground aroundit.-04

Protoplatm
This word has recently
been broil
prominently before the reading-public in
the discussions in reference to the forma
tion and the organization of life. Pro
fessor Huxley, who first used the word,
explains it by stating that "Protoplasm
is a complex body, consisting almost en
tirely of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and
nitrogen," He then proceeds to apply
the word to the different objects of the
vegetable and animal creation, and Says :
First. Ordinary plants consist of muses
of protoplasm, each provided with
wooden case, associated together. The
plant feeds, grows, multiplies, dies, and
is resolved into simple compounds, which
are chiefly carbonic acid, water and am
monia. Second. Ordinary animals' con=
slat of masses of protoplasm, not enclosed
in wooden cases, but imbedded in other
matter, which result from the modifica
tion of protoplasm. Tire animal feeds,
grows, multiplies, dies, and is resolved
into similar compounds, which are chiefly
carbonic acid, water and ammonia.
Third. Ordinary animals cannot rusks
' protoplasm, but must be supplied with it;
ordinary plants cannot make it from ear
-1 bonic acid, water and anunoma. Fourth.
The matter contained fn living bodies is
continually undergoing a circulation from
the not-living world, through the living
world, back to the not-living world."
