Clmmicl? anb .Sentinel WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 4 SATURDAY NIGHT. Placing tbe little hit* all in s row, heady for church on the morrow vou know; Washing wee faces and little black fiate. Getting them ready and fit to be kissed ; Patting them into clean garments and white, That is what mothers are doing to-night. Calling the little oneH ail 'round her chair, Hearing them lisp their soft evening prayer : Tellifig them stories of Jesnsof old. Who hives to gather the iamlm to His fold ; Watching, they listen with childish delight That is what mothers are doing to-night. Spying out holes in the little worn hose, Laying by shoes that are worn thro' the toes, Ixxikiug "o'er garments so faded and thin Who but a mother knows where to begin ? Changing a button to make it look right That is what mothers do night after night. Creeping so softly to take a last peep. After the little ones all are asleep; Anxious to know if the children are warm. Tucking the blankets around each little form: Kissing each Utile face, so rosy and bright— That is what mothers do night after night. Kneeling down gently beside the white bed. Lowly and meekly she bows down her head. Praying as only a mother can pray, “God guide and keep them from going astray." A LEBBON. I said my life is a beautiful thing, X will crown me with its flowers, I will sing of its glory all day long, For my harp is young, and sweet, and strong, And the passionate [xjwer in my song Shall thrill all the golden hours. And over the sand, and over the stone. Forever and ever the waves rolled on. 1 said, my life is a terrible thing, All ruined, and lost, and crushed, 1 will heap it'< ashes upon my head, 1 will wail for my Joy and my darling dead. Till the dreary dirge for the days that are fled Stirs faint through the dull dumb dust. And over the sand, and over the stone, Forever and ever the waves rolled on. I said, I was proud in my hour of mirth, And mvl in my first despair. Now. X know nor earth, nor sky, nor sea. Has heed or helping for one like me. The doom or the boon comes, let it he, For us, we can but bear. Ami over the sand, and over the stone, Forever and ever the waves rolled on. [All the Year Round. THE WAY OF THE WORLD. I leant from out my two-pair back, The afternoon was mild— A cab pass'd by. and on its track A little dirty child. Cabby drives calmly through the slush, With all unconscious mind, The dirty child comes with a rush, And clambers up behind. His mates hail look'd with careless eye On all his efforts vain, But now he’s landed high and dry. They bum with envious pain. The driver tnrns and plies the lash, The child falls in the dirt, And in a puddle rolls ker-splasli— I think he must be hurt f Ho turns away—that ragged boy, lie’s anything but gay ; Hie little friends they jump for joy, And go on with their play! I shook my head despondingly— “Ah, such is life, I guess!” A man meets little sympathy While struggling for success. And when the hack of Fortune's Car He's clutched -you’ll always find How ready all his best friends are To bellow, “Whip behind!” SMALL THINGS. A traveler through a dtiHty road, Strewed acorns on the lea, And one took run I, and sprouted up, And grow into a tree. Love sought its shade at evening time, To breathe its oarly vows ; And age was pleased in heats of noon. To bask beneath its houghs; The dormouse loved its dangling twig, The birds sweet music bore ; It stood a glory in its place, A blessing evermore. A little soring had lost its wav Amid the grass and fern. A passing stranger scooped a well, Where weary men might turn ; He walled it in, and hung with care, A ladlo at the brink lie thought not of the deed he (lid, But Judged that the toil might drink. He passed again—wad lo! tho well, Bv Summer’s novi r dried. Had cooled ten thousand parching tongues. And saved a life beside f A dreamer dropped a random thought. 'Twas old, ami vet 'twas now— A simple fancy of the brain, But strong in being true ; It shone upon a genial mind, And lo! its light became A lamp of life, a beacon ray, A monitory flame. Tho thought was small—its issues great. A watch tiro on a hill ; It sheds its radiance far a-down, And cheers tho valley still. A nameless man, amid a crowd That thronged the daily mart. Lot fall a word of hope and love, Unstudied, from the heart ; A whisper on tho tumult thrown— A transitory breath— 0 It raised a brother from the dust, It saved a boul from death, t) germ! O fount ! Oh word of love ! O thought at random cast! Ye were but little at the first, But mighty at tho hod. |Froin " The Atlantic Monthly," for December.] FOREST PICTURES. MORNING. O gracious breath of sunrise ! divine air ! That brood'st serenely o’er the purpling hills, O blissful valleys ! nestling, cool, and fair, In the fond arms of yonder murmurous rills, Ilreathing their mystic measures to the sun ; O (lew-sprinkled paths, that circling run Through sylvan shades and solemn silences. Once more ye bring my fevered spirit peace ! The fitful breezes, fraught with forest balm. Faint, iu rare wafts of perfume, on my brow; The woven lights and shadows, rife with calm. Creep slantwise twist the foliage, bough oil bough Uplifted heavenward, like a verdant cloud Whose rain is music, soft as love, or loud With jubilant hope—for there entranced, apart, The mock-binl sings, closo, close to Nature's heart. Shv tonus about the greenery, out and in. jilt 'neatli the broadening glories of the mom ; The siptirrol—that ipiaint sylvan harlequin— Mounts the tall trunks ; while swift as light ning born Os Summer mists, from tangled vine and tree Dart the dove's pinions, pulsing vividly Down the dense glades, till glimmering far and gray. The dusky vision softly melts away ! In transient, pleased bewilderment, I mark The last dim shimmer of those lessening wings. When front lone copse and shadow covert, hark! What mellow tongue through all the wood land rings! Thedeer-lioutid's voice, sweet as a golden bell'e. Prolonged by flying echoes round tlio dells. And up the loftiest summits mildly borne. Blent with the blast of some keeii huntsman's horn. And now, the checkered vale ie left behind : I climb the slope, and reach the hill-top bright.; Here, in bold freedom, swells a sovereign wind. Whose gusty prowess sweeps the piue-clad height; And the pines dreamy Titans roused from sleep - Answer with mighty voices, deep on deep Os wakened foliage surging like a sea ; And o'er them smiles Heaven's weird inflnity !

A Lunatic Bam,. —A novel entertain ment, but one beneficial to the parties i participating, was a recent ball given to j the patients at Blackwell’s Island Lu-1 natic Asylum by their physicians. At j exactly seven o’clock in the evening forty female lunatics eutered the gymnasium where the festivities were to take place. They were ilressed in all sorts of cos tumes, the dresses of some resembling night gowns, while others indulged on this special occasion in several suits. Great latitude to taste was given, but all were clean, orderly aud very lady like. A few minutes after about as many men arrived even more fantastically at tired. Some carried a wardrobe that it must have taken years to accumulate, and others were clad more appropriately fora July pie-uic than anything else. The physicians soou eutered escorting their lady guests, and about the latter some of the older patient* crowded, complimenting them on their improved appearance, and requesting the pleasure of taking them to supper when the time came. One spoke to a lady of their last meeting at the Hotel de Yille in Paris; another had met the lady with whom he was conversing in a California gold mine, and a third had beat the children of Israel out of time by swimming across the Beil Sea with his via-s-vis nearly four hundred years ago. The pianist was not very tractable, and refused to play without notes, but a waggish lu natic placed before him * sheet of paper on which were written the words. “Do not spit on the door,” and he executed admirably therefrom an overture from Strauss. The master of ceremonies was Henry Yasquez, whose father is a Gen eral in the revolutionary army of Cuba. He killed his mistress in New Ifork about three years ago, and report says paid SIO,OOO for his certificate of in sanity. Formation of a Lynching Party in j M [shot Rt. The St. Louis Republican ! learns by private advices that a Yigi lanee Committee has been organized in Lafayette county, for the purpose of lynching Colonel Turner, who shot and killed Mr. Graves a few days ago for an alleged libellous publication. TlieSheriff called on the citizens to assist him in preserving the peace, a number of 1 whom responded, and Turner was pro tected. Since then the V igilantes have notified the citizens whs aided the Sheriff to leave the county, and they have deemed it expedient to do bo. PEPPER T A Californian glory of a Telegraph : Operator. The following story originated, we I>e lieve, with the San Francisco Pont. We give it in the words of the California i writer; Many amusing stories have l«een told of the festive freaks of the telegraph operators, who, whenever afforded an opportunity for the display of their pen chant for n good joke, rarely fail to im prove it. Almost everybody lias heard of the operator in the Eastern City, who, on a hot Hummer day, desiring to Isirrow a chew of tobacco from one of his fellows in the same room, instead of making known his request by words of month, clioosed what he deemed the least exhausting measure of inditing a dispatch, which, traveling over a circuit of upwards of a thousand miles, in about two minutes reached the identical office whence it started, much to the surprise of the other chap, who blandly shied his tobacco box at the head of the irrepres sible jokist. It often happens that telegraphers are called into service at the representation of a stage play in which occurs what is known as a ‘‘telegraph scene,” such as the one shown in Byron’s Across the Continent, or Boucicault’s Long Strike, and it is then that the operator behind i the scenes manages to amuse himself by talking to the fraternity in the audience, unknown of course to most of those present, who find no meaning in the click of the instrument. As an evidence that the operators of our city are not behind hand in the mat ter of having their fun, the following is related of Jim , a well known at tar he. of the Western Union: During the theatrical season of last year, the di ama of The Long Strike was produced at one of our theatres, and for the manipulation of the telegraph instrument, which plays an important part in the most important act of the play, Jim was engaged. His position was such that he could see the audience without being seen, and when, upon taking his position, discovering in the auditorium a brother operator from Memphis, by name Mont gomery Pepper—who had that day ar rived in town—he determined to have a little sport on liis own account. Accordingly, when the time came for the sending of the first dispatch, Jim loudly sounded on the machine the words, “ How are you Pepper?” The quick professional ear of Pepper caught the words instantly, and wonder ing “ ylio the deuce it was,” straighten ed up and stared at the stage as if he would have given two dollars and a half to know something more. “Pepper, how’s your mother?” came from the instrument, and Pepper, thoroughly mystified, turned confident ly to his fair partner to express his utter astonishment at the most singular cir cumstance. As luck would have it, the auditorium held quite a delegation to telegraphers, who by this time saw that Jim was up to one of his ohl tricks, and with one ac cord they began to look about the theatre for “ Pepper.” .Tim saw the effect? of his experiment, and enjoyed himself hugely. Pepper hadn't got through telling his girl all about it, when there came an other message. “That won’t do, old Pepper; I know you well, and you hadn’t better be fool ing that confiding creature with any soft nonsense.” This roused the telegraph boys to the very pitch of curiosity, and many of them stood up, gazing longingly about them as if their only object in life was to discover Pepper. Pepper felt that they knew him, and the confusion which had been gradually covering his handsome features grew into mortification when he saw so many eyes evidently levelled at him, and at last culminated in his withdrawal from the theatre. But Jim was bound to give him a parting shot, and, as lie faded from view, he heard borne to his ears: “Good by, Pepper. Put your trust in Providence, lint keep your powder dry.” Those who appreciated the affair were much amused, and so, indeed, was the victim himself, when, on the following day, lie learned who it was had so neatly captured him. Remarkable Transformation. Not long since Mr. Brnshweller, a resident of Baltimore, purchased a piece of property with the intention of opening an eatiiig and drinking saloon. AH the necessary fixtures were procured, includ ing the usual array of bottle and glass,, pictures, Ac. All xvas made ready for the opening except the purchase of the liquors, when a conversation happened to take place between the proprietor and some friends of temperance on total abstinence, in which the evils produced by the sale and use of intoxicating li quors was dwelt upon. Finally, after much debate, the proprietor of the house decided not to open the place us a drink ing saloon, but to organize a temperance society instead, and steps were forth with taken to carry this changed pur pose into effect. The evening for or ganizing the temperance society was appointed and friends of the cause were invited. The meeting took place Thurs day night last, in what had at first been designed for a bar room. The decan ters were all there, but empty and turned upside down, whilst upon the head of the empty beer keg was placed a card bearing the words “Woe to him that givetli liis neighbor strong drink.” On each side of the mirror were placed gob lets of water. The attendance was large and much interest was manifested. A Sr. Louis Domisie on Vices of the Young. —A lively sermon on the ‘‘Vice of the Age” was preached in St. Louis '• recently by Rev. Dr. Holland, of that city, aud iu the course of his remarks he said ; The middle classes spend their income in keeping up false appearances. They, too, must wear dove-colored pan taloons and shiny boots. They must wear diamond studs anil seal rings, aud carry young ladies to the opera, in hired carriages, at the rate of three hours’ use for three days’ wages. They must take a turn now and then at billiards, stand treat to the cock-tails, bet upon their voracity when called’ in question and last of all, lest they should be deemed timid, must demonstrate their nerve by “fighting the tiger” until it claws the last dime out of their pockets, and claws lasting scratches upon tlieir souls. The only safeguard against vice is work; not work as the slave, who works to eat aud eats to work, but work to reach a higher plane of effort, not only of the body but of the mind—work, whatever, it be, whether for a dav, a week, a month or u life-time, hunustlv and cheerfully, as one who expects to Contemplate its results forever. A New York correspondent lias made a discovery that is dreadfully shocking to old prejudices, as well as a singular indication of some notable mental differ ences between the sexe*. He says that, iu canvassing the Eighth Ward, where nearly all the negroes of New York live, he found more than 3,000 negro men married to white women, and but one white man married to a negro woman. Among the females many are claimed to be voting aud handsome, while most of them are represented to lie contented and even cheerful. The «orj’pspouileut who has made this discovery say* that lie inquired of several of the white wo men how they came to marry negroes, aud that tlw auswt?)'was that “it was bet ter to be the wife vs y man than a white man’s mistress.” If ri r «*canswers are true, it seems that the gliiaueejs tie justified more ou the score of morals than on that of wstheties, It there is such a disproportion between white men aud white women, it would also indi cate that the women are most suscep tible, though the obstacles in the way of the marriage or the self-support of women iu tb*> lower classes of life un doubtedly mfiuemm {hem in the choice between a colored husband £*]" none at all—Jfti/crsbufy (Ohio) Panin r.

The Danish Consul at New York makes a public appeal for immediate aid for his countrymen who lost their property bv the recent severe storms in Europe, and are now in positive want. Woodlinll and Claflin are' thoroughly frightened, fearing that they will Ik? sentenced to imprisonment. It is said that they will plead guilty, and depend upon the mercy of the Court. Col. W.

Mansard—he of the roof—was super intendent. of public buildings in the reign of Louis XIV. of France.

Samuel Webb, a New York printer, who died a few days ago, for twenty-five years preceding his last illness worked at one place without missing a day; was never on a ferry boat in liis life; never saw Central Park, and had not been further up town than Bleecker street in thirty years. A full special report of the Boston fire, sent to the London Timex by cable, from the Philadelphia office of the Western Union Telegraph Company, cost about §3,300 in gold, being proba bly the costliest message yet transmitted from this country to England, outside of the Government service. It is said that the Lieutenant-Gover nor elect, Judge MeKinstry, of Mobile, does not take stock in the Radical revo lutionary enterprise. The rumor is en titled to confidence, for his associations give proof that up to this time he is not one of the conspirators. As he is a Georgian by birth, this fact is mentioned to liis credit. Statistics of Pauperism and Crimf.. —The last Federal census shows that during the year there iverein tho United States 116,102 paupers and 36,562 criminals. Tho cost of supporting the paupers was 810,930,429 ; of the whole number 76,737 were receiving support on the Ist of June, 1870 ; and of these 44,539 were whites, 9,400 were colored persons, and of the whites 22,798 were foreign born. Os the 36,562 criminals reported for the year 1870, 32,901 were in prison ou the Ist of June, 16,117 be ing whites, and 8,056 colored persons, and 8,728 of the whites being foreigu born. It will be observed that the white population furnishes only a little more than one-third as many criminals as paupers, .while the colored population furnishes nearly as many criminals as paupers. New York furnishes the largest number of both paupers and criminals—26,ls2 of tho former, and 5,473 of the latter ; Pennsylvania fur nishes 15,872 paupers and 3,974 crimi nals ; Massachusetts furnishes 8,030 paupers and 1,593 criminals ; Ohio con tributes 6,385 paupers and 2,560 crimi nals ; Illinois, 6,054 paupers and 1,552 criminals; Maine, 4,619 paupers and 431 criminals ; Michigan, 3,151 paupers and 835 criminals ; Missouri, 2,424 paupers and 1,503 criminals. The report declares that the most economical method of treating paupers is found in the town-farm system, since it requires only one salary, that of the overseer, and permits the labor of the paupers to be employed to the full ex tent of their ability. Under this sys tem, the annual cost of a pauper is 8-50 to 860, while in those States where pau pers are gathered in large establish ments, with numerous officials and ex pensive appointments, and xvith no op portunity for employing the inmates pro ductively, the cost rises or 8100 to 8140. Maximilian’s Horse Accoutrements Owned BY a Former Trojan. — Dr. Julius A. Skilton, formerly resident of this city, and now Consul-General of the United States at Mexico, is the happy owner of Maximilian’s horse equipage, elegantly mounted with the Hapsburg coat-of-arms, aud richly set with precious stones, He got possession of them in this way. Shortly after the execution of Maximilian Dr. Skilton was corres pondent of the New York Herald at the oity of Mexico. A Roman Catholic priest, a very devout and worthy man, had been imprisoned for sympathizing with the cause of the Empire. The Doctor wrote up his ease for the Herald, and his article resulted iu an examina tion of the c vse and the release of the prisoner- The padre was very grateful to Dr. Skilton, told him that he could not pay him for his services except by his’prayers. He finally told him that be could make him a present, very valuable ip itself, but which would be a source of gppai ppfspnal danger to the Doctor if tfie fact of possession should be kuown. He said that Maximilian had given him a valuable set of horse furniture as an evidence of lus regard, but that they were no use to lain except as a memento. He told the Doctor he might have them and that they were in g barrel buried in a certain place. In course of Dr. Skilton found oppor tunity to remove tnefp, *)U<l they are now in possession of a friend of the Doctor's. Troy Press. I sijvpxVf'E Polici es. — The recent great tires are bringing BP again all the old questions. A correspondent of the 5s ew York Journal Os Commerce inquires “if a firm has insurance on its stock for $50,000 ami the stock is work #IOO,WI, and their stock is damaged by tire to the extent of $.">0,000, how much insurance can they collect ? Do the companies pay the whole damage, or do they pay in proportion of the whole stock to the amount of insurance ?—that is, will the firm peseirp £.j0 f OOO or only §25,000 ?” In reply the Journal stains that no mat ter how much the stock’is worth, if jam insurance is for 350,000 under a plaih ordinary policy, the underwriter must pay atj> iq*; which occurs up to that amount. Bui if th„ pqlicy contains what is known as “the ‘average sltjqse” ( which reads, “It is understood and agreed that claims under this policy shall only be for such proportion of the vr])ole loss as the amount of this allow ance bear* the whole value of the property- insured, "j then t)]e loss falls pro rata on the underwriter and the owner. If the stock is insured lialFits vslnn, *;ith this clause inserted, the underwriter pgys half the loss. If in sured one-fourth the value, then be pays one-fourth the loss. But if this clause is omitted then the owner can collect his entire loss if enough has been in sured in solvent companies. Price of Lkamjse Advanced. —A Bos ton special says it is roughly estimated that three million sides of upper and rough leather aud calf skins were de stroyed. Already prices in upper leather have advanced from ten to twenty per cent., and it is quite likely that a Aimer will be made in this staple. Qf sole leather it is known that three hundred thousand sides at least were burned, but the quantity of bide® destroyed was very small, and there is no reason for advance in this material. A rise iu boots and shoes is inevitable, and people who come to buy must be prepared to pay much higher prices than formerly, and select from much smaller stocks. The boot and shoe trade is regarded as in a good condition. Dealers burned out had, as a general thing, lighter stocks than many supposed. BY TELEGRAPH. TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS. ~ ' - —" i SUPREME COURT DECISION. An Insurance Case from Louisiana—A State May Not Impair the Obliga tion of Contracts Made in c'onteder ate Money. Washington, November 25. — The Su preme Court rendered a decision in Del mo against the Merchants’ Mutual In surance Company from the Supreme Court of Louisiana. It was upon the authority of the Constitution of Louis iana, to render a contract void, because it was based upon Confederate money as its consideration. The Court below found that Delmos had the prior claim to a certain fund, lint that as the con sideration which established his claim was Confederate money, it failed, and the insurance company, whose claim was subsequent but based ou a valid consideration, was entitled to the fund. This Court say, in substance, that if the judgment below bad decided that the contract underlying Delmo’s claim was void from the policy extended at the time, there could have been no question for revision here. But as the judgment is based upon a provision of the Consti tution of the State formed after the con tract was made, which declares all con tracts devoid which are founded upon a consideration of Confederate money, it will have to be revised, as having sus tained a law repugnant to that clause of the Federal Constitution prohibiting the States from making any law which shall impair the obligation of contracts.

No Change of Policy—Not so Certain of Recommending Amnesty—Grant Dis covers no Necessity for a More Friendly Policy to the South—No Os- : flee for Enemies of the Administra- , tton—lnvestigation of Pardon Appli- 1 cations—He Fiuds a Custom House Embezzler Worthy of Executive Clemency. Washington. November 26. The ! rough draft of the President's annual message, though not quite finished, was read to the Cabinet to day—all the mem- , hers being present. It will lie some what, perhaps one-fifth, longer than last year’s message. In addition to the two copies to be sent to Congress, five will bo made in manifold for the use of the city press and for telegraphing. In re- j sponse to a question asked by the w riter j of this dispatch, the President remarked 1 that he had no objection to saying that the message would not show any change of policy on his part, as his endeavor was now, as it had been iu the past, to perform his entire duty to the extent of liis ability, and in such manner as would best serve the interests of the country. He was not certain that he would recommend to Congress an extension of amnesty to the two or three hundred persons excluded by recent legislation, but if he should, it"would be with a pro posed condition that the beneficiary merely take an oath to support the Con stitution of the United States. Con gress, however, had ample authority in the premises, and could act with regard to the matter without a repetition of his views upon the subject, contained in his former annual message. He saw no more necessity, as had been asserted, for making a declaration of a , more friendly policy to the South than for such a" declaration towards the North, as he sought, as President, under the obligation of his oath, to ex | ecute the duties of his position without favor or partiality, in acccordance with law. He would in his message endorse such recommendations of legislation as may be presented by the heads of the several departments and which experience had shown to be necessary, and he would recommend to Congress that action be taken with regard to the award made by the Geneva Arbitration. The money will be paid by Great Britain to the De partment of State and be deposited in the Treasury. Os course it cannot be drawn therefrom, except in accordance with latv for the purposes specified. In the conrse of conversation on the subject of civil service reform, the Presi dent said that while competitive exami nations were desirable, ho did not think it right that office should be given to the enemies of the Administration, to the exclusion of its friends. t He was now engaged iu examining ap plications for pardons, taking up the cases singly, with a view to conclusions upon them. He intended to pardon Col. Bowerman, who about eighteen months ago Avas convicted of embezzlement while he was an officer in the Baltimore Custom House. He added that, in ad dition to other reasons, Col. Bowerman was a brave and faithful officer during the late war. THE FRENCH SITUATION. Great Excitement—Threats of a Ter rible Revolution.

Paris is quiet this morning, and dis patches from the provinces report a cor responding degree of tranquility. Erie. Jay Gould and Vanderbilt. New Y’ork, November 27. —A stay of proceedings was to-day granted in the suit of Erie against Gould. The Atlantic and Great Western and Erie had a meeting regarding over 31,000,000 claimed by the Atlantic and Great Western. The case was with drawn frern the Ohio Court, where pro ceedings have been pending. Jay Gould, referring to Vanderbilt’s card, says: “In 1868 Vanderbilt held $10,000,000 of Erie stock. I offered to take fifty thousand shares, if lie would hold the balance sixty days and give me call for it. He agreed, but broke bis promise. He sold all, and delivered it in one day, hoping to create a panic, under the impression that I could not carry the stock. He failed, and feels sore. ” Heavy Advance Recovered.
