December of last year it was esti mated, on good authority, that more than 50,000 men and at least as many females, in New York, who depended upon their daily toil for subsistence, were o:it of em ployment. The labor prospects for the present winter are represented to be little, if any, more promising.

petitions for the ab

This franking privilege has grown to be an evil of such tremendous proportions that these petitions should be so generally signed by the people that Congress cannot afford to disregard the demand for its abolition.

DESCRIBING a murderer the Missouri Democrat says that he is not '"prepossess ing in his personal appearance." Who ever saw adeliberale murderer that was? —Cin. Times.

There have been many "deliberate murderers" remarkably "prepossessing" in their "personal appearance." The most diabolical, cold-blooded murder we ever heard of was committed by the handsomest man, the most elegant "gentleman," the greatest favorite with the ladies that could be found in a circuit of fifty miles. There was not a family in the entire county that would not have been glad to welcome him as a relative by marriage up to the very hour when lib awful crime was exposed. And his is not a solitary case. A gallery of murderers would show many handsome, intelligent and "prepossessing" faces. There are many stubborn facts that contradict the theory that the face is a true index of charac er.

Anecdote of the Late Rufas Clioate.

Frpm the Boston Times.]

trouble

A good many years ago some connected with a bank at Northampton caused the directors to engage the legal service of Hon. Bufus Clioate. The case was heard in chambers at Boston, Chief Justice Shaw presiding. What the peculiar merits or demerits of the case were the narrator does not recollect, but no one wbo listened to the earnest argument of Mr. Choate against the interpretation given by the opposing counsel to the law regulating the class of questions under hearing, could have failed to doubt thai there was something radically unjust and wrongin the statute. To prove that the law never could have been designed to admit of such interpretation as had been claimed for it was Mr. Choate's grand point, and he wound up his subject by declaring that—if such meaning could, by any species of logical torture, he applied to the law, and such interpretation designed by the framer of the law, that individual, whoever he might be, manifestly knew nothing whatever of the subject he sought to legislate upon. As to that fact, Mr. Choate felt thoroughly satisfied in his mind.

Mr. Sydney Bartlett, who was of opposing counsel, addressing the court, said that the law which had been so severely arraigned by his learned brother^Choate,) had been framed several years before by the then Attorney-General for Massachusetts, and exhibited in its comprehensiveness and exact adaptability to its legal purposes, the peculiar distinctness of expression for which that gentleman's writings and speeches were noted and, said Mr. Bartlett, with a rather roguish expression on his countenance, "I think I am not wrong in stating that the gentleman who so eminently filled the office of Attorney-General for the State that year was Hon. Rufus Choate."

The court smiled audibly even Judge Shaw gave vent to something between a sigh and a groan, which, being interpreted, meant a laugh—all eyes were upon Choate, and all minds wondering how he would get out of his personal dilemma. They had not long to wait, for Mr. Choate almost instantly responded: "Admitted admitted, may it please your honor but the fact does not disqualify my statement, that, whosoever framed thai

statute with the views of having such meaning applied to it as has been asserted by brother Bartlett, could not, by any possibility, have known anything about law."

And Mr. Choate went on with another part ofliis argument. "W

In the necrological list of the year 1869 it seems as if the losses of onr counhave been unusually heavy. Two at least of the present active generation of American statesman—Rawlins and Stanton— died while gratitude for their past services was still fresh and the hope of their future usefulness was unimpared. Fessenden has passed away, leaving a vacancy in the Senate which will long be felt. Of political leaders less eminent in official position, we have lost Henry J. Raymoud and among politicians of a past daV, whose intluence had measuably or wholly sed away, Time has been unusualy Dusy.

Dulce, in Russia Prince Menschikoff, in France Marshal Neil and Troplong, in Turkey Faud Pasha, are the most.distin uished of the dead. From the rolls of le army and navy we shall miss henceorth at home thejnames of Old Ironsides and Gen. Wool abroad the British Gen. Lord Gough, Admiral Sir James Oordon, who brought a'British fleet up the Potomac in 1814 the French Mar shals Neil and Regnault, St. Jean d'Angel v, the famous Russian soldier Menschikoff, and the veteran Jomini. Art deplores the loss of Grisi, Berlioz aud Overeck science mourns for Hengstenberg, Reichenbach, Jukes, and many lesser lights and the charities of two hemispheres will feel the taking away of George Pea body. In literature, although the list is long, very few names of real eminence arc found in it. When we have mentioned William Carleton, Professor Cormington, Frederick S. Cozzens, Peter Cunningham, Alexander Dyec, Lamartine and Ste. Beuve, we have called over all the most sllustrious.

says:

During the war there were three civil officers, in direct contact with military affaire, who displayed great executive ability, viz: Stanton, Andrew and Morton. However others were distinguished —through^Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and Dennison, Todd and Brough, of Ohio, were active, zealous and capable—the first distinction for grasping the responsibilities of the occasion, and becoming realized postive personal forces, distinctly and vastly influential, belongs to the Secretary of War and theGovornors of Massachusetts and Indiana. The labors performed by these men—the energy they put into the war, the mighty impulses they gave to armies:, can not be understood by ordinary workers—were but dimly appreciated in the days when their services were most essential, but they will stand forth defined and gigantic in histo-

When a man has resided for a number of years at the National Capital, in the public service, and has not accumulated an immense fortune, the inference is that he is honest, and such instances are so rare that the country can well afford to reward them.

CONSCIENCE-STRICKEN.

Curious Story of a United States Ex press Robber.:

Some weeks ago Jacob K. Bear, telegraph operator and express agent at Brownsville, Nebraska, abscondered one night with $12,000, left in his hand as agent. He directed a letter to the paper of that place, stating that there were ninety-nine chances of his arrest to one of his safe escape with his plunder, but for the $12,000 he would take one chance in a hundred. He wrote "Won't this affair of mine make a nice litle local item?"

When the Company learned of their loss, they at once set active measures afoot to capture Bear, but tailed. Lately, how' ever, he has sent another letter to the Brownsville

Advertiser.

In it Bear states

that losses in gambling led him to commit the theft. He states that one of the packages he states that one of the packages he stole contained $8,000, and writes:

But the best matured plans often fail and now comes the most incredible part of my statement. The package of $8,600 was soldered up in a zinc box in the exact size of the package, and I also had about $1,000 oesides that. It is natural to suppose that I was very much excited when I was leaving, which was true, for as I steppping into a skiff my foot slipped, and I dropped the box containing the $8,600 in the Missouri river. "In conclusion, I will say this: lam where I am making fast, and before the expiration of ten years every dollar of that money will be returned to the United States Express Company. If I die, my life is insured in favor of the United States Express Company for an amount greater than what they have lost. "I ask the sympathy of no one, but I am already fearfully punished, not knowing what moment I will be arrested for

my crime. And what then? The State Prison, or suicide, if I prefer it. I will also state why I wrote the note to Holladay & Balhoun in the braggadocio style that I did. I wanted to kill all the love and respect that my wife entertained for me, ana thereby lessen the sorrow or anxiety that she might feel for me after she became aware of what I had done. You who have up to this time thought or imaginned what a luxurious life I am no donbt leading, are for for once disappointed, as I am one of the most miserable crimnals on earth."

trial in the County Court which is interesting to all persons who have ophthalmia. Torrey, the plaintiff, had inflamed eyes.

He applied it to one eye before going to bed, and of that eye he awoke in the morning stone blind—to the damage, as he said in his declaration, of $10,000. Upon this, to make matters sure, he salved the eyes of a dog with the same sovereign remedy, and the dog became as blind as Homer in a few hours. The defendant proved, however, that two hundred persons had used the salve, and that none of them had lost their sight. Verdict for the defendant.
