A year a-.ro the editor of the Tribune promised
to make this journal during 1S71J a much more
valuable and complete newspaper than it had
ever been before. Its facilities for the collection
and transmission of intelligence from all parts
of the. world had been largely increase ; its stall"
of editors, correspondents and repot ters, had been
st neiglhencd by the engagement of some of the
ab'e-t men in the protesMon ; and the editor was
re.divc.i to spare neiiiici p.uns nor money in tlie
eifort to make TiiK Tuini'M! the very first news
papcr in the wor'.l.
It poii.ts to tin' achievements of the !i-t
twelve months with pardonable pride. While
Tiik TiUi'.rM" lias retatned all the excellent fea
tures that ni '.ile it such a favorite i.i former days
it has exhibited a-.i i t. tci pi i.-e. and an acuteiiesS
in its news il partmeii; which have been the
wonder of all its old frieuds. Remembering that
the chief function of n daily journal is to give its
tenders the fullest, the best arranged, the most
attractive, and the most readable history of the
occurrcuc-8 f the time, it has devoted its best
energies to this bu-ini-ss, and its success has
been universally recognized and applauded. The
year lias been fruit fill of startling events, and
every incident h is found in Tin: Tiunrsi: its
proiiit't-st. most accurate, aud most perfectly
cqnip.ed historian. A Tribune correspoodenl
was the only civilian who witmsed the surren
der of the Yiitrinius, and his pk-turcsque descrip
tion of that transaction, transmitted by tele
graph, is the only account the public ha yet seen
mi incident upon which depended fer m-my
weeks t he quest ion of peace or war. The Tki
iicne published the only full and exhaustive ac
cuiit by Atlantic telegraph ot the terrible Ville
dit Havre disaster, giving all the incidents of
that catastro) be ten days before other journals
received t hem by the i low course of the mails.
It distanced all competitors in its thrilling story
lay cable of the adventures of the Polaris casta
ways. It anticipated every other paper in the
country, an ! even th- Government itself, by its
graphic narratives of Cu-tur's battles on the
Yellowstone. The elnbiirate and deeply interest
ing letters of its special correspondent in the
West gave the only complete account of the Far
mers' ioveini i t ever published in an Eastern
paper. The reports of TtlK TlMlil'Nn picsenled j
the important proceedings of the Evangelical '
Alliance in this city with a fullness und accuracy i
everywhere the subject of enthusiastic praise.
Dining the panic its ihiiiy history of Wall stieet !
ma 1- i: abialnt'-ly iiiciispetir.ab'.e to l.nsir.c-s nu n; j
and its special coi 'respondents afterwar! le
scril'i'd the condition ol all iirs in the iinmufae- !
tilling ili-tiiets with an ability which no ot in-r I
papi r seriously riTaled.
While il never can be a neutral iu polities,
Tin: Tiiini'M. is entirely independent of all par- I
ti and partisans, il belicies that the mere or- j
gan cf a cnqno c iiitcl I e a thoroughly good
newspaper, and cannot lie tru ted for impartial
and ju-t Ciimmel t upon current events. Il main
tains with the old fervor and will always defend
the Republican principles of cqiialily and justice
with which, under the control of its illustrious
found' r. I!oi; i: Gut:i:i.!.Y, it was for over thirty
years i h utiiied. But it values p-uties solely c.
means for procuring honest government ou sound
principles.

THE IEYIEAXI THE LAWYERS.
The devil came to earth one day,
And into a court house wendi d his way
Just as an attorney, w ith a very grave face,
Was rising to argue the points in a case.
Now a la'.vyeHiis majesty never had seen,
For to li is dominions none ever had been ;
And he felt very curious the reason to know
Why none had been scut to the regions below.
'Tuns the fault of his ageuts,his majesty thought,
That none of these lawyer haveeverbeen caught;
And for his own pleasure he had a desire
To come to the earth and the reasou inquire.
Well, the lawyer who rose, with visage sograve,
Made out his opponent a consummate knave ;
Aud the old devil was himself much amused
To hear Hie attorney so greatly abused.
As soon ns the speaker had come to a close
The counsel opposing him quickly arose,
And heaped such abuse on the head of the lirst
As made hiiu appear cf ail villains the worst.
Thus they quarreled.' contended, and argued so
long,
'Twas hard to determine the one who was wrong;
Aud com lading he had heard quite enough of the
fllsr-,
Old Nick turned away and soliloquised thus :
'If all they have said of each other be true,
The devil has not been robbed of li is due ;
I'm tatislied now 'lis all very well
These lawyers would ruin the morals of hell.
"They have puzzled the court with villainous
cavil,
And Tin free to confess, they have puzzled the
devil.
My agents are right to let lawyers go bail
If I had them, they'd swindle me unt of mvtui!."

'KatliUcii, is it possible you are crying
aoain ' Did 1 n.,t u-11 you that I wouM
dischargjc-you if I fotitul you itululo'inej in
tliat fbolisii whimperi!) any more V
IVt KaUilucu O'Xe.il had huin dustino;
the jUaiitly furniishc-d drawing room, and
she stood before an exquisite little painting
of one of the blue, sparkling Irish lakes, set
in gold oivch shores with a sky beyond
likeliijuid amber stood with her apron to
her ryes, ami her rudy cheeks deluged
with tears.
'I coukitUt help it, ma .-tin,' she sobbed,
'but it puts me in mind of home.'
'Iloine !' scornfully echoed Mrs. Arnolt.
'Your home ! A shanty ia a bog. It isn't
likely you ever t-aw such a spot as that."
'LVcd did I then, answered Kathleen,
'and many a timt. l'or we lived bcyant
them same green shores when'
'There, that will do,' said Mrs. Arnott,
coldly, 'I don't care about any reminiscen
ces.' Kathleen did not und-rstatiii the livx
sylabled word, but her quick nature com
prehended the sarcastic tone. The tears ,
were dried in their fi. unt--the scarlet spot
glowed un cither cheek.
'.he looks down on me as if 1 was a dog !'
Kathleen thought to herself. 'An sure it
is the same lh.-sh and blood (iod has given
to us both. How would felio lite it, I woni
der, to he in a strange land, and niver a
kind word spoke to her ? Oh, but I could
see mother and little llonora, and Teddy
that's but a baby yet ; but it's the blue sea
rolls between us, and it's all alone I am !'
Pour Kathleen ! the sense of desolation
came upon her with sickening power, j'ust
then as she stood before the picture of the
sweet Irish lake, with the wet splashes on
htr cheek, and Mrs. Aruotl's cold, hard
voice s.iundiug in her tars.
'It's a great pity to be abliged to do with
these wild untutored Irish.'
Kathleen was just bringing up the tray,
and Mrs. Arnolfs words sounded distinct
ly in her cars as she paused on the top step
to get breath.
'Of course, my dear,' said Mrs. Tudor
Audor, sympathetically, 'they're had, tho
roughly bad, the whole lot of them. I'd
send them all back to their native country
if it lay in my power.'
'I wish they were all at the bottom of
the sea,' said Mrs. Arnott, 'and then, per
haps, we would have a chance to employ
Swedes, or Chinese, or somebody that
would at least cam their bread. It that
you, Kathleen? Why don't you bring iu
the ice-water at once, instead of dawdling
there ?'
" Kathleen obeyed, but the dreary home
sick feeling that thrilled through all her
pulsus can hardly be described.
'If I was only at home again,' she
thought, 'where the poorest and meanest
have a kind word for each other ! They
scorn and hate me here ; and sure, I've
tried t' do my best, but the lady has a
heart of stone, and tveu the little children
in the nursery, with their French maid,
make fun of Irish Kathleen.
Ami the lonely exile wept herself to sleep
on her solitary pillow that night. 1 1 was a
mere closet of a. room, without light or ven
tilation, thai she occupied. Mrs. Arnott
thought that any place was gooel enough
lor Kathleen ; the bed was hard, and in
sullieieiitly provided with clothing ; hut as
Mis Arnott carelessly observed, 'twas no
doubt a great ileal better than she was ac
customed to at home. And she had just
paid to Isaacson & Co., a thousand dollars
apiece for draping her drawing-room wiir
dows with lace and brocatelle so, of
course, there was nothing left for sueh a
trifle as the comfort of her servanls.
'Is Kathleen sick, mamma V little Julia
Arnott asked one day ; 'she cries so much
and looks so white V
Mr. Arnott, a stoul built, good natured
man of forty or thereabouts, glanced up
from his paper.
'What does the child mean, Lucrctia ?'
he asked of his wife. 'I hope you look a
little after your giild.'
'Of course I do,' she said sharply, 'Kath
leen is a silent sullen thing, and I shall dis
charge her next month. .Natalia has a
cousin who wants the place.'
'Has she any friends in the country
Kathleen, I mean V
'Not that I know of.'
'Seems to me I wouldn't discharge her,
then. It would be rather hard, unless she
is guilty of some fault.'
Mrs. Arnolt bit her lip.
'Gentlemen understand nothing of the
management of household,' said she tartly.
'These girls haven't our sensitive natures,
either. They are quite used to knocking
around the world. Are you going down to
town now ?'
'Yes.'
'I wish you'd stop and ask Dr. Hart to
stop here this morning ; little Clarence is
feverish.'
'Anything serious V
M hope not,' the mother answered, 'but
I always like to take these things iu time.'
. Br. Hart leaned over Clarence's little
crib ; he involuntartVy uttered the name of
a malignant type t fever, just theu raging
in the city.
'I wish that you had sent for me before ;
I fear that it is too late to secure the ex
emption of the other little ones. Hut with
constant care I thiuk we may save the little
fellow. You have a good nurse ?'
'An excellent one. I can trust Xatalia
as 1 would trust myself.'
'You are fortunate,' said the doctor. He
had scarcely closed the door when Xatalia
crime to her mistress.
'My mouth expires to-nio.row, madam :
will you pay me my wages and let mo take
my departure at once I'
'But, X'atalia, the haby is Bick.'
'One's first duty is to one's self; I would
cot risk the iufectiou for twice what you
pay me.'
Aud X'atalia packed her trunk and de
parted without coming into the nursery to
bid little Clarence good bye.
The cook was next torive wnrntiif. Mu-
'f , sS o-
t;h!:c llia hiniiilrcR tnr.! Lor-iaMf ntV with
out any preliminary ceremony.
'I am going, too,' said the 6eani3tress.
'Mrs. Arnott wouldn't have lifted her
j fing::r if we'd all been dyiusz, and I believe
in doing to others as they do to me.'
And almost before she knew it the strick
en mother was left alone by the bedside of
her suffering babe. Xeighbors crossed on
the other side of the street like the priests
and Levites ' of old ; friends contented
themselves )y sending in to inquire ; cvt-u
hired nurses avoided the malignant fever.
'Is there no otic to help me V she moan
ed, wringing her white jeweled hands to
gether. 'Have all pity and Womanly sym
pathy died out of the world ?'
A slight-noise caused her to tutu, and
Kathleen O'Xcil was at her side, bus ar
ragiug the table.
'I thought you, too, had gone, Kathleen !'
she cried.
'Sure ma'am, what should I be going
for ?' asked Kathleen; simply, 'and the
bits of children sick, and you iu sore trou
ble ? I nursed the little brothers and sis
ters at home, and I kuow just what needs
to be done.
And she took little Clarence in her arms
with a soft tenderness that went to the mo
ther's heart.
'Are you not afraid, Kathleeu ?'
'What should 1 be afraid of, ma'am ?
Is't God's sky over us all, whether it's the
green banks of Ireland, or the chuieh stee
jile of this great confusing city?. Oh,
ma'am. He'll not take the bonny baby
from us.'
All Mrs. Artiott'sc hildren had the fever
last of all she was prostrated by it and
Kathleen watched every one, faithful, true
aud tender.
'Kathleen,' Mis. Arnott eaid, the first
day she sat up, the Irish girl arranging the
pillows-about her wasted form, 'Oh, Kath
leen, I don't deserve this.'
'Sure, ma'am, if we all had our deserts
in this world, its a sorry place it would be,
I'm tbinkitig,- laughed Kathleen.
T.ut Kathleen, I was cruel to you so
perfectly heartless !'
'We won't talk of it, ma'am, dear,' said
Kathleen, evasively.
'15ut say just oucc that you forgive me !'
pleaded the lady once so haughty.
'I forgive you, ma'am, as free as the sun
shine,' Kathleen answered softly.
'And you'll stay with me always, and be
my friend, Kathleen ?'
'If God wills it, ma'am.'
And Mrs. Arnott put her lips to kiss the
fresh cool cheeks of Irish Kathleen.
The years that have passed since then
have made men and women of the little peo
ple that Kathleen nursed through the fever,
and strangers who visit Mrs. Arnott
scarcely know what lo make of the plump,
comely, middle-aged woman who moves
about the house apparently as much at
home in it as the mistress h erself who is
consulted about everything, aud trusted
with all secrets.
'Is she housekeeper, or a servant, or a
relation ?' some one once asked.
Mrs. Arnott replied, 'she is my true and
trusted friend, Kathleen O'Xcil.'

THE SIAMESE T1VIXS.
A N KCDOT ICS OF TII III B LIVES.
At the prisent time, wheu the public
mind is engrossed to a certain extent in
the peculiar mauner of the death of the
Siamese twins, the following unpublished
incidents of their mode of living aud gen
eral characteristics will prove interesting :
"Much speculation has always been rife
as to how the twins courted and finally
became joined in the bonds of Hymen. It
happened that they were traveling through
the South, and stopped at the town of
Traphill, in Wilkes co.unty, North Caro
lina. The country in this locality being
very lomantic, and the land good, the
twins determined to settle, and accordingly
engaged in business iu the village, being
excellent traders, and their uovel condi
tion soon attracted many persons to them;
among these a farmer named Yates, w ho
lived iu the immediate vicinity, and who
was possessed of two bouncing daughters.
Chang and Eng looked upon these women
tenderly, and cviuced great affection, for
them, and, like ordinary young folks, made
numerous calls at the residence of their be
witchers, and there being a pair of them all
around, a match was soon made, and the
four were two (or one). These wives al
ways displayed great affection for their
liege lords, and manifested the usual jea
lousies common to the humau family. From
this double union there were some twenty
one childreu born. Mrs. Chang presented
her husband with some nine or ten, and of
these but two were boys, while in the Eng
family the daughters were proportionately
outnumbered. The offspring, contrary to
the general opinion and preceding state
ments, with few exceptions, were healthy,
robust childreu. Great difliculty arose
when the time for conferring names upon
the young Changs and Engs came. Here
was a dilemma. They could not all take
their paternal and maternal relatives'
titles, and they had no Christian names.
"The difliculty was surmounted, how
ever, and the appellations Christopher Co
lumbus, ralrick Henry, Stephen Decatur,
Nancy Bunker and names of a like sort
were given to the retinue of little ones.
The fathers seemed anxious that all their
immediate descendants should he well ed
ucated, and purchased a house in the town
of Sit. Airy, shortly after their removal to
that place, where the larger children lived
aud attended the school in the district.
They were all apt scholars, and seemed to
iuherit a large amount of uatural acute
ness from their fathers.
"The twins were excellent farmers, aud
superintended all the work upon their
plantations. They could hoe and plow,
aud were very dexterous iu using the axe.
They built several log cabins themselves,
and could put up the corner of a two-story
house as quickly as any other two men.
As traders, especially in live stock, they
won quite a reputation. They were honest
to a penny, would not take the least ad
vantage of any one, and reposed the same
confidence in every one else, but unfortu
nately frequently came to grief. In mak
ing a bargain they would obtain all the
points in the. case and then withdraw, and
under the plea that two heads were better
than one, consult with each other as to the
best course to pursue.
"Stories have always been in circulation
regarding the supposed fabulous wealth of
rlhc twins. Prom their numerous trios
abroad, and exhibitions, it is true they
amassed considerable money, but when
the war broke out, they being very large
slaveholders, of course their property iu
that direction was swept away. They also
had large amounts in the State banks, and
as these institutions evaporated they were
further reduced iu circumstances. Theu
the' were induced to invest in State of
North Care!ina bonds, which were consid
ered a safe investment, and when tiie war
closed there was not much left to the uu
fortunate Siamese but the plantation upon
which they resided at the time of their
death.
"Their political creed, previous to the
rclxd'.ion, was of the Old-line Whig party,
and their votes were regularly deposited
at each election. Since they both belonged
to the same party, no political differences
ever arose between them. Although their
homes were in the South they were Xorth
ern in their ideas, but at the commence
ment of the rebellion had no alternative
left them but to take sides with the land
of their adoption or leave the country.
Then they declared for the C mfederacy,
and two of their sons went int the rebel
army, and fought bravely, if unwisely.
Trouble, however, surrounded the twins.
When Stotietnan's cavalry came through
that country, and called for recruits, a
draft was made; into the magic wheel went
the names of Chang and Eng. But one
name came out. The gallant commander
was nonplussed. One must go, but the
other would not. He dare not take them
both. So he resigned claim to either of
them, and thus th.y escaped actual ser
vice. "Chang's illness first became marked
about the year lStil, when he commenced
to suffer from bronchitis, and the disease
gradually worked down, ending in sup
posed inflammation of the lungs. He
never apprehended death the idea of dy
ing never seemed to occur to him. With
Eng, who was always healthy, the case
wad different. He would oftentimes re
mark, 'Well, we can't live long,' and
would become despondent. The last
named, when remarking upon t he expected
demise of either himself or brother, would
use the plural 'we.' Chang, from his semi
paralyzed condition, was generally very
morose and irritable, and occasioned his
brother considerable trouble. One day
they came into Dr. Ilollingsworth's office
and Eng demanded the doctor to sever
then, at all hazards, saying that his brother
had become so disagreeable that he would
not live with him any longer. Of course
the doctor refused to do this, and after a
long time spent in attempting to reconcile
them, they were induced to go home.
They never again made such application,
although it is known that disputes fre
quently arose between them, in which
knives were drawn, and they threatened to
kill each other.
"Hegardin the scientific interest of the
case, aud the value of a post mortem ex
amination, the public at large are well in
formed. Xo arrangements have ns yet
been entered into for the consummation of
this project. At this point it is well to
state that it was a fact not generally known
that when one couglud.it produced a her
nial protrusion in the side of the other.
"There are grave doubts as to whether
any wills were left by the dec-eased. Mr.
It. S. Gilmer, the business agent of the
twins, was not aware of such documeuts,
and the twins were also in doubt in this
respect, although it was known at one
time that they drew up testamentary let
ters, and named their respective wives as
executrixes. These were afterwards de
stroyed, it was supposed. Beeent devel
opments, however, "lead to the belief that
they had wills drawn up by a son of Sir.
Gilmer, a young lawyer of Mount Airy,
and that the witnesses to the siguiug were
sworn to secrecy. A few days will bring
to light this fact, and it will then be known
whether there are any provisions forbidding
an examination of the bodies beiug made."

scholars not allowed to. Finished my edu
cation at Ward's Academy. Teople from
the North visited Lexington, tnt to
school here. I came to Illinois in 1837,
Wt
to
as iu Illinois three months. Went back
Kentucky. Went to school two years
aflcr I first came to Illinois. I returned to
Illinois iu 133t) or '40. This was after
Sirs. Wallace came out to Illinois.
Sly husband intended when he was
through with his presidential terms to take
me and family to Europe. Didn't in late
years dream of death was cherry, funuy.
LIVED IN HIGH SPIRITS.
He intended to return and go to Cali
fornia over the llocky mountains, and see
the prospects of the soldiers etc., digging
out goin to pay the national debt. He and
Sumner were like boys during the last days
of the rebellion. They were down on the
river after Richmond was taken ; they act
ed like hojs ; were so happy, so glad, the
war was over. Mr. Lincoln up to 1805
wanlqcl to, live iu Springfield, his old home,
and be; buried there. Changed his opinion
- notion where to live. Never settled ou
any blace particularly : intended moving
and traevling same. Sir. Lincoln was
THE KINDEST MAN
and most loving husband and father in the
world. He gave us all unbounded liberty.
Said to me always when I asked for any
thing, "You know what you want go
and get it." He never ashed me if it was
necessary. He was very, exceedingly in
dulgent to his children ; chided or praised
them for what they their acts, &c. He
always said ; "It is my pleasure that ray
children are free, happy, and UDrestained
by paternal tyranny. Love is the claim
whereby to bind a child to its parents."
Sir. Lincoln had a dream when down the
river at City Point, after Richmond was
taken. He dreamed that the White House
burned up. . Sent me up the river to Bee.
Went. ., IP Stan ton on the way down.
Mr. Lincoln told me to get a party and
come down, which I did.
Sir. Lincoln found out that
was stealing, as he thought, public moneys.
Intended to turn him out. Sly husband
placed great confidence in my knowledge of
human nature. He had not much know
ledge of men
Our expenses at the White House were
about 810,9'iO (?) per month ; breakfasted
at 9 o'clock A. SI., lunched at 2 o'clock
P. St., dined at G P. SI. Sir. Lincoln got
up irregularly ; saw the people ; attended
the hospital, &c. He said
HE WOCLD TURN SEWARD OTTT
when i-caee was declared. Hated Andrew
Johnson. Once only Johnson followed
Sir. Lincoln, when he said : "Why is this
man following me ?"
A letter of Sir. Lincoln's to me got out
in the army. Sir. Lincoln was tender.
&c. Our dinners cost us $00, for friends,
diplomatic corps, &c. Sometimes there
were twenty-four of the Todd counections
ot family atouceat ourtable. wife's
conduct while iu Washington was extreme
ly bad.
Sir. Lincoln had a kind of pot: try in his
nature. lie was a terribly firm man when
he set his foot down. None of us no man
or woman could rule him after he had
made up his mind. I told him about Se
ward's intention to rule him. He said :
"I shall rule myself ; shall obey my own
conscience, and follow God iu it." Mr.
Lincoln hael
NO HOPE AND NO FAITn,
in the usual acceptation of these words.
He was a religious man always, as I think
and believe. His first thought to say
thiuk about this subject was when Willie
died never before. He felt religious more
than over about the time he went to Gettys
burg. He read the Bible a good deal in
lSeU.
Sir. Sumner and Sir. Lincoln were great
chums after they became acquainted with
one another. They watched each other
closely. Down at City Point ouce Andy
Johnson followed us. Was drunk. Mr.
Lincoln said, "For God's sake don't ask
Johnson to dine with us." "Xo, don't,"
said Sumner, and I did not ask him.
I often said that God would not let any
harm come to my husband. We had pass
ed through five long years terrible, bloody
years unscathed ; so that I thought so.
So did Sir. Lincoln. He was happy in his
idea was cheerful, almost joyous, as he
got gradually to see the end of the war.
I used to read newspaper charges news
paper attacks on him. lie said : "Don't
do that, for I have enough to bear yet I
care nothing for them. If I'm ri'jht I'll
lice ; if I'm wrong, I'll die anyhow ; so let
tiiem pass unnoticed." I would playfully
say. "That's the way to learn read both
sides."
Sir. Lincoln's maxim aud philosophy
were,
WHAT IS TO BE WILL BE,
and no cares (prayers) ot ours can arrest
the decree.
1 could teil when Sir. Lincoln had de
cided anything. He was cheerful at first ;
then he pressed or compressed his lips
tightly, firmly, one aginst the other. When
these things showed themselves to me I
fashioned myself accordingly, and so did
all others around him have to do sooner or
later, and they would find it ut. When
we first went to Washington many persons
thought that Sir. Lincoln was weak, but
he rose grandly with the circumstances of
the case, and men soon learned that he was
above them all.
I never saw a man's mind develop itself
so finely his manners got quite polished.
He would say to me, when I talked to him
about Chase and those others who did him
evil, "Do good to those who hate you and
turn their ill-will to friendship." Some
times in Washington, being worn down, he
spoke crabbedly to men, harshly so, and
yet it seemed the people understood the
conditions around him and forgave.
TRIBULATIONS OF A LOCAL EDITOR.
The Danhcrry News says : Once upon a
time a local editor dreamed that he was
dead aud in another world. He approach
ed the gate of a city before him aud knock
ed for admittance, but no one answered
his summons. The gate remained closed
against him. Then he cried aloud for an
entrance, but the only response was scoies
of heads appearing above the wall on each
side of the gate. At sight of him the own
er? of the heads set up a dismal howl, and
one of them cried, "Why don't you notice
the big egg I gave you ?" At this horrid
and most unexpected interrogation the
poor local turned in the direction of the
voice to learn its owner, when another
voice shrieked, "Where's the piece you were
going to write about my soda fountain ?"
and close upon this was the awful demand,
"Why did you write a piece about old Ped
die's fence, and never say a word about
my new gate ?" Whatever answer he was
going to frame to this appeal was cut ab
ruptly off by the astonishing query, "What
did you spell my name wrong in the pro
gramme for." The miserable man turned
to flee, when he was rooted to the spot by
this horrible demand, "Why did you put
my marriage among the deaths ?" He was
on the point of saying the foreman did it,
when a shrill voice madly cried. "What
made you put in my runaway and spoil the
sale of my horse ?'r And this was follow
ed by the voice of a female hysterically pro
claiming, "This is the brute that botched
my poetry, and made me rediculous I"
Whereupon hundreds of voices screamed,
"Where is my article ? Give me back my
article ?" And in the midst of the horrid
din the noor wretch awoke. DersDirinz at
every pore and screaming for help. Tb
next day ne resigned, ana we naa to nans

Itanium' Sew Show.
The New York Sun gives the following
description of Barnum's new show build
ing: On the block bounded by Twenty-sixth
and Twenty-seventh Btreet, and Fourth
and Sladison avenues, workmen have torn
down the old depots of the Harlem aud
New Haven railroads, and are erecting
Barnum's Hippodrome. The new struc
ture will occupy the whole block, and will
be over 400 feet long, 80 feet high, and will
have two towers 100 feet high. In one ot
these towers a chime of bells will be hung,
and a chemical light is to blaze through
colored glass with sufficient power to be
seen ten miles away. The work is far en
ough along to give a good conception of the
result intended. A track like a race course
one-fifth of a raile in circumference, is be
ing laid out. The space enclosed by this
track is to be made a garden, with flowers
and fountains, except a portion .reserved
for certain features of the performances.
Elevated seats will skirt the track on the
outside, running up to the exterior walls,
and numerous enough to hold a larger au
dience than has ever been assembled under
one roof in New York. The interior will
be lavishly decorated and brilliantly light
ed. Underneath, in the huge excavations
now visible, will be passages and mechani
cal apparatus capacious enough for the pas
sage of horses and vehicles. Stabling will
be arranged under the auditorium for 150
horses, and through them, as well as under
the cages of the animals, streams of croton
will run constantly. The precautious
agaiust fire will be carefully attended to.
No wood will be used in the floors, and
there will be large entrances oo b th Madi
son and Fourth avenues. The five-story
brick building which was formerly used by
the Harlem Company for offices will re
main, and will be arranged in dressing
rooms for the performers.
The nature of the performances to be
given in the Hippodrome is new to New
York on the scale here intended. Besides
gymnastic and acrobatic features, all kinds
of talented animals will be introduced.
There will be tournament, scenes with
trained horses, Roman sports on an ex
tended scale, steeple chases, buffalo hunts,
allegorical illustrations, and Bible scenes.
The variety of races to be run over the
track will include elephants, camels, stags,
ostriches and monkeys. There will also be
chariot races, the horses driven by one
hundred beautiful women in gorgeous cos
tumes. The animals used in these per
formances must be well trained. Soulier's
Hippodrome has been bought, and Soulier
will himself have directiou in the show.
Sir. Earnum and Mr. Dan Castello are in
Europe buying trained horses and other
animals and engaging human talent. They
have hired twenty-five women who are ex
perienced chariot drivers, and General Ma
nager Coup and Agent Thomas will secure
the remainder here. The Rink is being
fitted up for use as a training school for the
animals and for rehearsels under Sir. Jas.
Xix'on and Sir. Cooke. One of the feats
under practice is that of an animal tamer,
who intends to ride around the track at
full speed in a den of performing lions, ti
gers, and leopards. The cost of the build
ing and appurtenances is estimated at $250,
000 the costumes and trappings amounting,
so Sir. Barnum says, to -23,000. The
Hippodrome will open as soon as possible
after the 1st of April, and will give after
noon and evening performances until a re
moval for a summer season in one of the
other large cities.

A Beautiful Thought. When en
gineers would bridge a stream they often
carry over a first single thread. With that
they stretch a wire across. Then strand
is added to strand until a foundation ia
laid for planks, and new the bold engineer
finds the foot-way, and walks from side to
side. So God takes form us some golden
threaded pleasure, and he stretches it hence
into Heaven' Then he takes a child, then a
friend. Thus he bridges death, and teaches
the thoughts of the most timid to find their
way hither and thither between the two
spheres.
