tiimMallTO Am. One Vatkh, a repreeenUtlve from thla county In the Indiana Legislator#, It ■eema, haa made the Pnbllo Printing matter bla speciality. We hear from rarlons sources that his plan Is to establish a State Printing offloe, and eventually to employ the pupils of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum to do the work. But the leading Idea of the scheme Is to make himself, Toomas ■furrunsoi' Vatcr, the Superintendent of the Public Printing establishment, To accomplish this unselfish measure, Mr. T. JnrrxMon Vat hr has worked diligently end contributed to Its success the little brains he possesses. The Idea of a State printing office Is ridiculous, too much so to be seriously considered! but this Vatrh thought he would have Influence enough In the Oeneral Assembly of Indiana to put such a thing through and make himself pensioner on the State for the balance of his stay upon this sublunary sphere. This little airy castle was effectually pricked In the House yesterday, and as the member from Marlon saw his bubble collapse, with ever so slight a puncture, disappointment unto despair covered what little intelligence he exposes to the world, and he hummed spitefully, “Carry me back to old England’s shore,” for he doubtless had a realising appreciation fust about that time that his native land was for him a more congenial clime. This legislative ass exhibited bla peculiar qualities for the position of Superintendent of Public Printing, when commenting upon the report of the special investigating committee upon the State Printer’s account, by attributing testimony to a gentleman of this city who hud never been before the committee, and then attempting to Impeach It. When a member informed him that he had been so stupid as to mistake the witness, and the testimony ho was denouncing came from one of his ewn political kidney, he had sufficient sensibility to appreciate the ridiculousness of his position, and his face became more blank than usual. Vatkk, we believe, professes to be a brick mason, builder and architect. A year or two ago he bnilt the second tlnlversallst church edifice in this city, which he Intended should be a very pretentious building, both architecturally and In workmanship. An ex aminatlon of his architecture will show that the chimney lines arc placed Immediately over the center of the windows. It Is IRting that such a workman should be employed to enact laws for the government of an intelligent people. .Stupidity W the lending characteristic in this great body of tbe English people, hence we conclude that Vatkr might be appreciated upon his native hcu..ier, but It is evident, from bla developments, that he has been transplanted to a soil,not suited for such productions. The Eighth Dlslrlrl Election The Wabash Democratic fitaiutartl, in calling attention to the proclamation of the Governor, ordering an election to be held for a Representative in Congress In the Eighth District, on the 20th Inst, made vacant by the remgnation of Hon. D. D. Pratt, saya It has heard of no movements on the part of the Democra-jy toward holding a convention to nominate a candidate, or placing one In the held. It, however, makes the following suggestion In regard to a nominee, and if the Democracy of the ElghtUDiatrii’t think advisable to make a parity Contest, we cordially (Oinmend all the Standard says of Mr. McDowki.i. as the standard bearer of the

Democracy:

"In regard to a candidate we believe the Democracy of this county generally all favor the nomination ol Hon. J. F. McDowell, of Uraut county. He Is an able and experienced canva iser, an excellent speaker, and is popular with the masses of the people. His opponent would find an antagonist worthy of his steel, and his efforts as much. If not more, than anyone else, would greatly reduce the majorities over which the enemy have heretofore boasted. As before remarked there is no time to delay. If we Intend doing anything iu the matter we should do so

at once.’"

In referring yesterday to the scramble among the aspiring Radicals of the Eighth District for Congressional honors, we Inadvertantly omitted the names of several who are ambitious for that kind of fame. Ex-Colonel and ex-State Senator N. I*. Richmond has flung his banner to the breexe, and with hia lusty voice cries: Lay on, Macduff M And daranvd be he who first cries, hold, mu cod. There are other Richmonds In the Held besides those we enumerated yesterday and the Richmond of Kokomo. Judge Greknh, of Tipton, entertains the Idea that he, of all others, Is the ilttenest one of all the Radicals In the district to fill a aeat in Congress, We do not know how it may result, but wo should not be surprised If the contest waxes warm and fierce, but a man could be found In tbe district who would consent to aacrlfice himself upon the altar of his ambition, to bring peace to the troubled Radical waters In tbe Eighth District. Perhaps Judge Biddle, of Cass county, wonld consent, in the contingency or emergency we have named, to go to Congress for a term or two. A week from to-day the Kokomo convention will let us know whether wo are to have peace or war In this decidedly Radical district. Having no control In the matter, we shall patiently await the result. JPeath ef Cornellna fTArien. On Tuesday evening, Cornelius O'Brien died In this city very suddenly. He came to this country at an early age, and without a relative known to him In America, ho located with a friend to whom he wan recommended at Dover, in this eonnty, where he remained for several years, and subsequently went to Wilmington, then the county seat of justice, where he was employed- In several offices of the county, and proved a most efficient and valuable deputy In any of the various departments. He was subsequently elected Treasurer and Clerk, In which offices he served several terms. Ho served a term of four years In our mate Senate. His sudden death was the jcsnlt of a severe attack of apoplexy.— J.riuirnceburg Ucgislcr. Mr. O'Brien was well known In this city, and he had here many friends who appreciated sad respected his many excellent qualities of both head and bear'. It was creditable to the deceased that he fought his way unaided In the battle of life, and without the adventitious aid of position, friends or wealth, he resehed positions of Thsponslbillty and honor. Helf-reliant, as It was natural ho should be from tho circumstances of his life, Mr. O’Brien was firm lu his convictions, as he was renlousin maintaining them. His numerous acquaintances all over the State will read the annouoeement of his death with sincere regret. Ppmc to his manes. —Michael MuXlll, an employe In the Bt-ownsburg woolen mills, was In the dye house arranging a belt. His coat was caught and wrapped around a shaft that revolved very rapidly near the wall, which at once dragged him to the shaft and whirled him with It round and round for half an hour or more. When found hie body wee Utterly torn in pieces, the flesh and Mood scattered and sprinkled over the floor and wall, A day after tho burial of such remains as could bo gathered up, a leg was found lu the dye vat.

The Western Journal of Medicine for February containa an editorial comment upon some of the Mila predated to tba Leglalatura of Indiana. Concerning that feature of the MU which the Hone# ban ordered to ••eeoond reeding, whereby the dlplome la made the tine qua non, the editor remarks: “It Is shamefully true that men have diplomas without even a good Kogllah education.” He speaks also of diplomas ‘‘peddled abroed In foreign ooantrlea.” This serve# to show the eerlous defect of a MU whose main pivot la the diploma, and we trust that the members of tbe Legislature will make a note

of it. .

Against authorising County Msdlcal Societies to Issue license, he remonstrates In strong terms, and we endorse them’ heartily. “Every county in the State may have a eonnty society—it may have a doaen, all licensing doctors. But suppose no county society exists, as is the case in several counties in this state, what Is the applicant for licenaa to dot Or, suppose each society existing, It meets at distant Intarvala, rarely has a quorum, doea not represent some of the beet elements of the profession In Its locality, le under the control of a clique of selfish men, who can not brook any rivals for public patronag'e: or who would crush every one, by foul mesne If not by fair, that was .not of their “set,” worshipping their golden calvea, kiaelhg their crocodiles, or becoming petrlfled like thsir fossils 1 • • When there should be a hundred or more examlng bodies In the State, what uniformity of examinations might be expected. Ony county society might license a doctor when be had been rejected by a

dozen others.”

A bill was presented some days ago by Mr. Breckinridge, the member from Tippecanoe. It was read and referred. It recognises diplomats, but does not make a diploma tne one essential thing. It provides for the issuing of certificates of qualification and license. It forbids town, county or district societies to isaue these certificates. It vests the sole authority to do this In the boards of censors of the State medical associations, it requires the censors to be graduates, to be men of good moral character, to be resident practitioners In this State for a period of not less than font consecutive years previous t6 their appointment, and to take the oath of office faithfully to perform the duties of medical examiners. There are three State medical associations, representing each a distinct school of medicine. Representing rival systems, jealous of their own reputation, these State associations will naturally pnt their beet men upon tho boards of censors, the standard of attainment required of candidates will steadily ad vance, and the public will be the gainers. This arrangement Is Iree from tbe objections to county societies having the power to license; and It la liberal, Inasmuch as It recognizes the equality of all the State Medical Associations before tbe law, committing the State to no one system of medicine, leaving all to work out their own destiny, to stand or fall by their own merits. Tbe State can not sit ii ment upon the different systems gion; as little right has she to pronounce upon the claims of rival schools of medicine. When the Western Journal of Medicine recommends that "the power of licensing be confined to a board of three or five physicians, appointed by the Oov-

suggestion. The editor of that journal would be unwilling that any other than his own school should be represented on the State Board, and so he

would have the State deny recognition

to other Systems. His one State Board would certainly become amenable to the arraignment he makes of tho county societies, aa we have quoted above, (ilven such s Board, and what assurance could we have that it would represent "tho best elements of tbe profession?” What assurance that tho Board would lie free from the “control of a clique of selfish men’’ who would "crush every one not worshiping their golden calves, kissing their crocodiles, or l>ecomiifg petrified like their fossils?” Autoerat* lu Medcicine and partizans In politics, bigotry would be enthroned, nrogress in Modicine would be arrested, and our state wonld turn backward on tbe dial of Time

The Views of the Ml, f.onls t hief of

Folles.

Home time ago a member of the General Assembly addressed a letter to Captain Win. I.ee, chief of police relative to what is generally kuowM aa the social evil, for the purpose of obtaining liiforinsubn as to the advisability of the new measure introdnoed in the legislature in connection With the subject. The following is tho reply of the chief, which is of interest, as coming from an ollicor of much prac-

tical experience:

Office Chief Police, January, 20 isf/i. —Hon. Charles R, Mmytiie, Jefferson City, Mo.—Dear l hid in receipt of your favor of the 19th instant, touching the best mode of dealing with tho social evil. I agree with you tiiat it Is too much tn hope that this evil can lie entirely exterminated. Clearly, tho present laws need Improvement, The present system of arrests, public trials, fines, etc., seems not to diminish theevil, but rather to aggravate it^aiel debase its victims. The mutter of amendment, however, leads us to an untried field. Nowhere in this country has the system of licensing been adopted, and the moral sense of the community evidently revolts at tho proposition. How it works abroad some of your honorable body who have traveled or r< - sided there may, perhaps, Im aide to advise you. 1 cannot undertake to speak advisedly upon that phase of the subject. One form of amendment suggested is, that the offense of keeping a “bawdy house” should be punishable by imprisonment, not less than a certain number of months, with or without line. Keepers now pay a customary fine, which amounts monthly to moderate license, li Imprisonment Were certain to follow conviction, theevil would, obviously, be very carefully concealed at all times, and not, hr now, be Haunted In tho face of the nubile. It seems that much t>eiiefit might In this way bo effected. Another suggestion may ‘6* to make fornication and single acts of adultery ptinishableoffenses. Now open and notorious adultery only is so. Htill another idea favorably entertained by many citizens Is, to delegate the whole matter to the municipal

authorities, by adding

tbs City Council touching these things (lie power also to regulate, if it should

at any time, on careful inquiry, l»e found best so to do. It would be presumption in me to say what of the various untried remedies would he most effective. In untried matters, my experience as a police officer does not enable me to predict better tliau others tho results of experiment. I am, very respectfully,

Your obedient servant,

William Lee, Chief of Police.

A Radical Idea of Radical Rascality. The Jacksonville, Illinois, Journal, an organ of radicalism In its most "loyal" sense, Is becoming frightened at the rascality of its own party lenders. It raises the cry of alarm over tbe recklessnens and profligacy of tho times, and for all of which the Radical party Is responsible. The manner In which tho harpies are seeking to fasten themselves upon the people as consumers of their enrnlngR is so bold and unreserved that, the Illinois organ Is

astounded and abashed. It says:

"The laboring and producing classes of the people have reason to I>« alarmed at flio signs of the times. The moneyed power is so thoroughly consolidating itself that nothing but a civil convulsion seems likely to be able to break its despotism. I’mier pretense of necessity to build railroads and universities, vast ntimltersof acres of the public domains hnte been grasped by non: producers, and unprincipled speculators are reaching out for all that remains of value, and it seems as if the very furies were (LetermiHcd W> hind the masses of the people in a hopeless bondage of poverty and toil.

Charles Dickens says that "the first external revelation of ‘the dry rot In men Is a tendeney to lurk and lounge; to be at street corners without intelligible reason; to be going envwhere when met; to be about many places rather than any; to do nothing tangible, but to have an Intention of performing a number of tangible duties to-morrow or the day after '* “ ReconstrUctIon"’—A young mf" was arrested in Wilmington, hy a negro policeman, and taken Ijefore the Mayor, who fined hhiifor accidentally stepping upon a negro woman's dress.

Mr. Gifford, from the Committee on

Count mend'

the valuation and assessment laws, lie on

the table.

Mr. Johnson, of Montgomery, from the same committee, returned the bill [H. 133] touching the removal of county seats, with amendments. Mr. Jacques, from the same committee, recommended that the hill [8. 153] amending the Hupervlstfr'a act, Be on the table; also, that the bill [8. 42] be paseed. Mr. Denbo, from the same committee, recommended the paesage of the bill [8. <V>] tojrclieve sureties on official bonds. Mr. Cavon, from the Judiciary Committee, reported unfavorably on tho bill [8, 09] amending the practice act. Mr. Kinley, from the Temperance Committee, reported a recommendation that the bill TH. 30] prohibiting the retail of liquors, be amended, Mr. Jarqursa, from tho Claims Committee, reported unfavorably on the claims of the south penitentiary convicts, who claim 94,'MO for labor performed while serving out a part of their sentence. Mr. Bradley returned the claim of Powell, late of the Insane Hospital, with a similar report from the same committee. Mr. Grocn, from the.Npeelal Committee thereon, reported favorably on tbe Investigation of tiie accounts of the Mtate

Printer.

Mr. Green stated that the printers' accounts agreed with the Auditor's report. The S|>eclal Committee thereon reported in favor of allowing another assistant

to tho doo«kee|»er.

Those reports wore severally concurred

| in.

THE daily newspapers. Mr. Rice offered a resolution rescinding the contracts with tho daily newspapers, and providing for but one copy of each for each member dally. He explained that the papers were some throe or four days reaching their destination, and by that time they were comparatively worthless. Mr. Gifford endorsed tho remarks of the Henator as fur as the irregularity of the mails arc concerned, but tbe publishers of the papers are uot to blame for

that.

Mr. Hughes defended tho olty postoffice from any blame in the matter. Mr. Turner said not a paper he had mailed had reached his home as late as last week. Thla is not the fault of the publishers, however, as has been correct-

ly remarked.

Mr. Kinley insisted that no good was accomplished by the sending of papers to constituents, as Is the practice here. Mr. Rico withdrew his resolution. His object whs accomplished in calling atten-

tion to the matter.

Mr. Mhnrrod asked and obtained leave of absence for Mr. Hughes for the re-

mainder of tho session.

Mr. Hughes offered a-resolution, which was adopted, that the late clerk of the Morgan Raid rommlaston be employed as a clerk of the Committee on Expenditures, while that Committee Is engaged In considering the bill for the allowance

of those claims.

Mr. Hughes offered a concurrent resolution, which was adopted, for a |oint convention of the two Houses, for the election of State Fripter and other State officers, at half-past two o’clock thla day.

Mr. Green explained that tbe btll provides for taxing costa In these cases, there being no law on thla subject at this time. Mr. Turner objected to tbe taxing of tbe costa to any bat the principal part;

Mr. Green obtained unanimous consent for the insertion of an smendment making the applicant taxable with coats, unless be show good cause why he asks

The Speaker (Mr. Williams, of Knox, in the Chair) announced the consideration of the orders of the day. On the motion of Mr. Hamilton, the orders were suspended for his report from the special commute to Investigate the accounts of the State Printer. Each charge against the State Printer was examined by competent witnesses, and the committee came to tho conclusion that the charges for work done by that office haYe been in accordance with the law governing the State printing. Mr. Vater, understanding that the work waa measured according to printers' custom, insisted that that measurement was not according to the law, therefore, he could not vole to concur In the report. Hr. Hamilton said the measurement was according to the law governing the State printing. Mr. Pierce, of Vigo, moved that tbe report be referred to a special committee of

five.

Mr. Miles and Mr. Hamilton called for the reading of tbe testimony submitted

in the report.

Mr. McFadln preferred the reference to another committee, because of intimations about whitewashing this matter. Mr. Miles said the report waa according to the testimony, which did not support the current rumors against the State Printer. Ije waa willing that the action of the special committee should be strictly scru

ilnlzed.

Mr. Beeler and Mr. McFadln explained thst one made tbe offense a criminal act, and the other provided for damages to the sufferers to be recovered by civil ac-

tions.

The evidence reported was then read. Mr. Vater explained the vote he should give. The measurement was not according to law. These witnesses had been, some of them, somehow connected with the public printing. The questions as to measurement wore not. Have you measured this work according to law? The printers’ usage measurement would enable the State Printer to charge two or three prices for rule work and rule and figure work. Printers tell him that the public work has little or no profit in It, if measured according to law. He objected that the State work being measured according to custom, and charged according to law. He reviewed the testimony of several of the witnesses, not one of them testifying that the measurement is according to law. He referred, with exceptions, to the manner of patting questions to tbe witnesses, so as not to Impugn the State Printer or their own honesty. He conld not vote to concur in

the report.

ES. MITCHRLL'S ZXPLASATtOX.

Pendinf the foresoinc proceedings, Mr. Mitchell rose to a question of privilege for correction of his votiof explanation on the first branch of the question on concurrence in the report of tne majority of tha Committee on Elections. It shows an omission to report his second explanation—as all the explanations on the second branch of tbe re also omitted. Explaining his vote on

Upon the call of tbe roll of the Bouse 1 said, in explanation of my vote, that Mr. Peaie was ineligible, but that 1 did not believe the citUens of Starke county were bound to know that Mr. Peaie was ineligible. I believed, therefore, that tho votes cast for Mr. Peaie, so far as the citiiensof Starke county were concerned, were legal rotes ; but that 1 knew from the law, and the facts in the case, as a member of the Bouse, that Mr. Peaie was ineligible, and that I believed feat Mr. Beatty was fee only person voted for who WMdtyMc th the contested seat. I therefore voted in favor of that part of the resolution, by no means acknowledging tho election of Mr. Beatty by a majority of all the tepal votes cast in the counties of Starke

and Laporte,

AFTERNOON SESSION.

On tlio motion of Mr. Ratleff, his celored school bill was taken up and made the special order for Thursday two o’clock.

Mr, Lamborn moved to reconsider the vote of this morning concurring in the Senate resolution, for the elections at two and a half o’clock. Rather than do anything to perpetuate the abuses of our prison system,he would lose his right arm. Mr. Ruddell said no charge of abuse of the prison management effected either of the candidates to be voted for this afternoon ; and their election wonld not affect the question of tbe right of the General Assembly to change the system and vacate the prison offices. Mr. Buskirk said while it was a settled question, that the General Assembly could not vacate constitutional offices, it was clear that they could vacate offices created by law, by exercising the repealing power. Mr. Oory, in his remarks, this morning, simply meant to say that by delay, and change of system.we might get rid of corrupt praotioes. He referred to the constitutional provision that no office can be vacated which Is created by law, etc. Mr. Ruddell—Suppose the General Assembly repeal the law creating the office, what becomes of the ofllcer H® moved tp lay the motion to reconsider on th# table.

Tbe Foal Atmosphere of Badly Ventl-

The JVaf, having had its ambition excited by the performances of tbe New York H orld in regard to the adulterations of spirituous liquors, haa caused an agent to preserve from various public buildings in this city specimens of the air therein contained, and has had these specimens analyzed with the following result: From one of our court rooms, where each day many of our most learned lawyers and good citizens are obliged to pass moet of their time, a bottle of air waa procured, which waa found to be composed of the following elements: Oat of one hundred parts there are nine of oxygen, eigthty of exhaled breath, seven of perspiration in a gaseous form, one of common burning gas, and three of an irreducible smell. From a once popular lecture and concert mom, after a musical performance, the specimens yielded six parts of oxygen, eighty-two of had breath, tour of perspired exhalations, six of ordinary floor dost, and two of coal K*e from the heaters. Some of our churches are so well ventilated that the atmosphere is only dilated to an extent impossible to prevent daring the presence of a large congregation, bat the aim in others is of a character calculated to produce disastrous effects upon the hnmau organization. From ana of tty most fashionable houses a quantity of air collected at twenty minutes of twelve o’clock on a Sunday morning, contained tan parts of oxygen, seventy of pulmonary exhalations, ten of fine partieles of drees goods, three of oommon dost, three of patchouly, five of coal dost from heater, four of perspiration (supposed to emanate principally from the sexton, who

also acts as usher.) Visiting a billiard room, tha air was found to be much pnrer than in the places mentioned above, on account* ,of the players being able to enforce the necessary opening of the windows, bat it was bad enongh. Seventeen parts of oxygen, forty-six of repaired air, twenty of tobacco smoke in a stale condition, ten of the same, but fresber, and seven of alcoholic exhalation. Tbe specimen from one of our older school-houses, built before tbe recent improvements in these edifices were thought of or adopted, but which is used by more scholars in preportion to the room than the more modern structures, was composed of four parts oxygen, seventy-eight of exhaled air, six of perspiration, five from burnt air from stoves, one of emanations from wet sponges, one of inkv evaporations, three of combined odors, and two of tbe shoe and floor dost. Besides these, we have air from street cars, where tbe odors of salt bay and condensed exhalations predominated; and from large factories, where we find the bad smells so well steamed that they were more readily absorbed into the system. Other places had their peculiarities, but we have room for no more instances. To tbe result of these investigations we invite the attention of our city authorities, and that of all good people who have the desire to see those of the community who, not by their own fault, are coulUed to breathe bad air, an injury more jnstiy complained of than that caused by tty drinking of bad whisky, because tbe last we need not drink, but the first we often can not avoid inhaling. A Newspaper Opening. On Monday last the Sunday Transcript removed from its old quarters on Third street, below Chestnut, commonly called the “Barbary Coast,” to the northeast corner of Seventh and Chestunt streets. The Tranecript, in its last issue, published an amnaiug description of their building and a “caricature" account of the banquet incident to its inauguration, filling five columns of tbe paper. It is intended as a ‘'take off” upon George W. Childs, proprietor of the Public Ledger, who, y*u may recollect, made such a grand splarge upon the opening ot his new ballding. Colonel E. W. C. Greene, editor and proprietor ot the Transcript, "dished up” tbe article. He says the exterior of the edifice is distinguished by a gorgeous magnificence that has never been surpassed. It is nineteen stories high, with a front of one hundred feet, a depth of fitteen hundred feet, and a ground rent of $£2,000. The awnings are of figured satin, and with a design representing some incidents in the life of the proprietor. Tbe frieze above the column is made of solid silver, imported expressly from the Transcript’s private mine in Arizona. There is on the roof s flag pole, which is made of a single piece of black walnut,, and is 1,600 feet higfi. This is surmounted by a vane eighty feet long, representing a Common Councilman holding a lager beer mag at arm’s length. Below, in front, there is a large inclosure, iu which tame deer graze, and where a brass band will play every hour for the amusement of the advertisers. An extensive skating park stretches awsy in the rear, with a brewery in tbe nortbeast corner, from which the editorial rooms are supplied. This will be kept going day and night. He says the interior is hardly less magnificent. The composing room is a quarter of a mile long, and can accommodate one thousand men. The cases are of mother-of-pearl, wrought into arabesque patterns and decorated with gimps. Tbe types are of solid gold, 174 carats fine. They were imported from Peru in one of the TYtmecript’s own steamers. Calcium lights are suspended over each case, and sandal-wood stools are furnished to tbe compositors. These stools rest on mahogany floors, by Abe side of ormulu spittoons of one gallon capacity, wine measure. AU of tbe compositors are picked men; the ancestors of two-thirda of them cpme over with the Conqueror and in the Mavflower, and the rest art-exiled Barons, j Dukes, etc., mho own immense estates in : Bohemia, Paraguay, and such places. The foreman is a Circassian prince of the royal line, and he wears upon bis person ■ the medal awarded him for general mai;- , nifioence at the Paris exhibition. His mien Is noble and awe-inspiring. He has a seven hundred dollar glass eye, which rolls in its socket, and was cast express! v for him at Millville, New Jersey. The editorial rooms are covered with rich carpets, presented by the Shah of : Persia, and containing a monogram in red 1 worsted. The tables are of pure cut glass, and are arrayed in a circle around a grand piano, upon which a competent young j man^lays while tbe editors work/ The ; furniture is in the Louis Quatorze style, and tty curtains are of tine white muslin, I cut bias, and flounced with a cherry-col-ored ribbon around the edges. The library i is the largest in the world; it comprises ■ one million and twenty-two volumes. The proprietor, to show acts of generos- ! ity to his dependents, on Wednesday last, precisely at noon, fifteen hundred and one newsboys were drawn up in line in the palatial composing room, where, aftir singing a hymn, each boy was presented ! with a copy of Tennyson, a high hat, a gold-headed cane, and a pair of waftleirons. Caricature speeches were got off on Henry C. Carey, J. W. Forney, Richard Vaux, William D. Kelly, Martin MoMichael, George H. Baker, Henry Ward Beecher, R.Shelton Mackenzie and others. Letters were received from the Hon. Wm. Seward, the Emperor of China, Muinbo dumb, Brigham Y'oung, Shah of Persia, etc.—Philadelphia Correspondence Cincinnati Times,
