As the offi cer was proceeding to execute his or iler, the Republican member? gather ed around Mr. Wolf, determined to protect hiin frotu insult and violence, ;.nd for a time a srene of the utmost disorder and confusion ensued.

The Senate is well up with its business, and is daily em- j l . ved in perfecting legislation, but the JT' ii-c a "reform" House, too, God save the mark ! is a perfect U ar garden incompetent, turbulent and indolent, holding sessions of about I'.v i hours per day, shaping no legis liiiion of its own and neglecting the Lii's prepared by the Senate.

The truth is tha Democratic : party has done nothing for the fast id,, zen of years, except carp at ad ietry Republican measures and men. j Its .-t,,rk in trade has consisted solely of Imsiiliiy to Republicanism, and now, '.hen unexpectedly to itself, it has obtained control of the House, by th- fulss pretense of "reform,'' it is without chart or compass flouader i;:?r ir. the deep sea of its own iuea- i pa ,-tty, a rogjrea wrees. i There is no fear that the people of i Pi.n-ylrauia will for n;any years be iairaia deluded into iutrusting their ' Sra'e intorests to the bauds of a par !iy h eminently incapable of good, 'and perhaps the whistle is not too dearly paid ''or, even though it does !

Diphtheria has become an epidem ic in New York and Rrooklyn, and indeed in manv of the Hudson River towns, nartieularlv in Albanv. It is lai.ued that the disease has in en a-ed frightfully by the common practice of salncg the streets in snowy weather. It appeared in Al bany" early in the spring of 185$, and in that half of the city which is Miuated south of State street almost deeimated the children between two and seven years. Over 2,000 cases occurred in the whole city during the fist ten months of its prevalence, aud IT'J deaths are recorded from it. Since that day it has appeared as a uta ci.iilfiuic, aad Las raged with ni,,re or virulence in all the prin- cm.uI towns anu cities in the country. It is fearful! v prevalent now in New York and suburban cities and villages, carrying off hundreds per diem. The disease is so virulent in its na. tore that the physicians find it cull to treat it successfullv. difli llEECIIER-TILTON. Well Frank Moulton is off the stand after weeks ol examination aud cross-examination. He ha6 surprised his friends and Lis enemies. The most acute legal taient of the city has been after him all these weary days, traps have been set for him without number, but from first to last he has held squarely to tbe state merits originally made, and has not deviated a hair's breadth. He has explained in the most frant and can did manner has entire connection with the matter, and has thrown flood of strong light on all the dark places. He has shown him- s If quite the equal of the lawyers who had him in oand, and has lm pressed evervbody with the idea that he was telling the truth and nothing less. This trial will probably furnish authorities and precedents for all the divorce cases to come in the century. Such ransacking of judicial decisions ou difficult poiuts, aud so many of these points as occur, make this a tnal of special interest in a legal point of view. Thus far two pretty important side-lessons hare ben eloquently enforced by the history of this case, namely, the folly of believ ing in 1'carsav, aud the uselcssness jollying. Much cf the scandal that has broken tip households, when placed under the searching rav of judicial examination, melts away to impressions, to gossip, to imagination iluii has made the worst of things, and taken its own horrors for fact. Aud this bold and deliberate system of lyiug, which even good men held justifiable to keep scandal from break ing out, proves but an added trou ble, that darkens the case for both sides. The struggle now is wLetber Til tou shall be allowed to testify in this ease, aud a vigorous Gght is being made over it. I can see no reason why he should not. If he tells the truth, all well; that is what the peo ple want. If he lies ho cannot so hide it but that the lynx-eyed law yers for Beecber will discover it It strikes me that Beecber is injoring himself by this perpetual cbjecliog and quibbling. If he is innocent Lc ought to give every one who knows anything about it a chance to tell what they know. Keeping testimo ny out of court which everybody knows exists, may acquit him in a court of lae but it will not before the people. Bl EI NESS. The first of Februarv, merchants' faces grow a shade lighter, for tbe Spring trade opens, which it is hoped, will revive business from the depres sion of the last two years. It is very well understood that inflated price's are things of the past, and to do business in future, a man must offer the public something it wants, at the lowest prices, for economy is grow ing iasuionauie, and socially a grace is made of a necessity. Merchants are marking goods down unsparing! v. A. T. Stewart & Co., whose figures are the thermometer of prices, began their spring campaign by offering the standard twilled wool dress fabrics which sold last year ot $1.00 a yard for SO ceDts a difference by which one can measure the tumble in the rilno r.f most fphrics In rrsttnn poods the reduction is eu'iallv crrati- fviug to consumers; Lousdale muslin a.!! inff fP 1 ).L ontu n a pw York Milli tl:n ftm-st AnipricsP brands, fun 15 out And vet croakers fear that the spirit i-publican institutions is losing I ,rce i:i this country. In what -tier one, pray, is a ruuud ihroK rl. full-bleached, and sott- OnisLei, taking the needle Ireely, sort of a "biled-sbirt," within reach i ,,eJ every voter who goes to tue AMERICAN SHoES AND SILKS. ... .i . i i .i oi euioLfc uui ii os uo rv tvu Kren those who a atiroao andi.. ,,. ,.J ? j thr.ro r not n fi-iv who m of a winter voyage aerjss the ocean are beginning to appreciate home manufacturers, as they deserve. I was surprised to hear a fistidious ldy. late from Europe, declare that the shoes made in this c uinry were better than those she founJ either in London or Paris. Tbe shape of American boots was more graceful than the Euglish, which were clumsy looking, unnecessarily broad aud square, and short in the ankle, while French shoes, of good make were little, if anv, cheaper than in New York. American silks are steadily gam ine a Dational repute, like that of Irish poplin, like it defying changes of time aud fashion, always in style aud favor for its worth and intrinsic beauty. It is the thing for ladies going abroad to take dresses of American silk with them, partly for the sake of home associations, as the Scotswoman takes Ler clan tartan, or tbe Irishwoman her Limerick lace, but inoro because no other fabric stands the vovaire as well or is' as good a hotel toilet, always sufficient ly rich aud subdued. Nor are these the only manufac tures which we have reason to es teem. Tho late meeting of the American china r.ud pottery-makers lu take measures for protecting arid developing their industries brought to light the fact that the fine-t clays and china earths were more abundant iu this country than in Europe. Al ready more than half the china in common use is home-made, aud a vast improvement we find, this semi opaipae porcelain on the oi l fashion ed stone-china and eiuceuswure. All the varieties of ornamental ware are made here, such as decorating tiles, majolica, and imitation wedgewood. It ought to be the pride of a good American to hunt out, and do justice to the productions of home art, just as they come up to Un desirable standard, nud wbieh they are fast doing. THE PRICE E r.EIXci II.I VSTRATED oiilo you like to know the price of fame at last quotations: 1 oun renders who envy the fortunate musician or literary man who is brought so far into notice that the public demand to know how he looks, and where he dines, when he was born, and what be has done since he wasofage to spead, listen. Wha-r ever pious or usetui worn you (i lor the world, short of taking a gun-beat fleet, or reaching Wiic-hiel's high C as a tenor, do not expect to Cud an artist envov at your bedroom door, beseeching your picture for the illus trated papers. Such was once the case, but the pictorial newspapers have changed ull that. Ifyou choose to furnish your imperial photograph, aud pay $250 in addition, you may have the pleasure ofseeiug your lace in a full-page portrait, wuu the privilege of writing your own his torv to be added thereto. The man agers of public singers aud actresses pay for the publication of their pic tures as a part of necessary adver tising. It is a special vanity with manufacturers to have picturs of their factories and portraits printed side by side though what good a print of long lank looking buildings, coupled with that of a snub-nosed man, with hair brushed into a perpendicular agony, as the genuinp crystalline, salt works and proprietor, can do the business, is one of the inscrutable niysterits known only to the advertising clerk, who pockets ?o0 for the operation Such is lifo. ' CRUELTY TO CII2I.DKEN. A society has been inaugurated in New York for tbe prevention of cru- e.tv to children, under the patron age of many prominent and excellent persons. It will protect the ennd atrainst a brutal father, and try to save it from a life of sin or shame It will also shield the ill-used wif- and look into case where the offictrs of the law have cruelty maltreated a child. It is an excellent and hu mane idea, and deserves every en couragement, Tor in this runi-r.dJen city there is more cruelty to women and children than there is to animals And the abuse d wife or child is just as helpless as the abused hor.-e. The child cannot complain, and the wile will not, for she knows that when tbe law has withdrawn its protection tbe brute who beat Ler will beat her atrain for eomii!ainiu!r.

Last Friday a trial came off in a city court iu which a liquor "impor ter" was defendant. Ou the trial the following facts came out. Bourbon or rye whiskey is manu factured from high wines, commonly called fusil oil whiskey, made to-day and drank three days after. It also contains vinegar, Byrup, oil of bour bon, French coloring, bluestone, and other poisonous chemicals. It costs 80 cents to $1 a gallon, and retails for $5 to $ a gallon. Cognac brandy is made from French or Cologne spirits, burnt su gar, oil of cognac, vinegar, bluestone, Jamaica rum, honey, syrup, port wine, French coUring, alum aud aloes.

It costs $1.25 a gallon, and retails for $5. It is also bottled as a medicine, and sold for tbe kidney disease. Jamaica and St. Croix rum is made of double-refined high wines, French coloring, oil of i urn, fusil oil, vine gar, bluestooe, burnt sugar, molasses, syrup, with some imported Jamaica, Cuba, or St. Croix rum for flavor, alum, aloes and pruncjuiee.

Snturd.iy eveuiug last a mau giving the name of W. 11. Parker, rented the basement of tbc Knickerb cker building, at IS Madison street, for the purpose, as be stated, of opening a stock insur ance office, and put up a sign with the name of W. R. Parker it Co., and placed au old desk aud a tew chairs in the back pait of the ofliee, which has a rear entrance through au alley. This morning John Brady, a messenger of the Southern Express company, wuo delivers an vuitiuoie packages, entered Pai ker's dice to deliver a package said to contain slO (addressed W. R. Parker & Co.). and expressed from L'ollinsville, Term. Brady asked to see a member of the firm, aud made known his business. There were two white mm and three uegroes standing behind ihe counter. Brady preseuted his receipt book and at the same time threw a psueh contaiuiug a large number of money packages on the counter. At this uioiitcut a Tope w as tfiiovtn arund his neck and a hag drawn over his bead, and he was beaten to a state of almost insensibility. His cries attracted attentiou, and as the street was full of people a crowd soon gathered, but, the robbers had se cured the pouch and c.si-uped by the rear passage. At present there is no clue to their 'vhe-reaboats. Brady is dangerously, it not fatally injured. I'erseus ai. the express olliee have no present means of knowing or estima ting the amount of the loss. Later. It is now believ ed that the men who robbed ihe express messen ger ibis morning crossed the river iu a skiff, within halt au hour after the robbery was committed, aud are now iu the canabrakes iu the bottom. Brady, ihe messenger, though severely beaten is not daugerously so. The express officers decline to state how much the robbers secured, but it is supposed a large amount was taken.

Water was poured into the blazing shaft. bile tue Gre was nt its height, the bead of a man appeared in the sea of flames, he naving come out of a fiery fur- 'nace. As the man was drawn to tbe i sin face he faiuted. This was two l hours afier the fire begau, and soon afterwards a mail named Marks i bravely weut down the shaft to ! rescue those who remained beneath the ground. These soon appeared, coining up one after the other; some wiih sufficient strength to hold on to I he ropes, uud others unconscious. By 4 o'eloek. every man was saved. Allthemeu were doing well last night, there being no question as to the recovery of any WlM-uuntU.
