orriCE. 71 and 73 Wt Market Street. AMUSEMENTS. t3GLXn' OI CR4 HOC3. T;e Howard Atheneum Specialty ComTMDywill pity at English's Tneaday and Wednesday evenings next. The Boston tilobe aya of the performance: The Howard Comedy Company probably furnishes as much tun for the people as any other combination put out on the road in a dramatic season. In organizing this company, Messrs. Rich and Harris take great pride, and spare no expense in securing the btst talent that the profession affords. This year they hay reason for congratulating themselves upon their success. Before starting out on an extended circuit through the United mates and Canada, the company plays one week at the Howard, commencing with last evening, when a great audience witnessed the performance. Every item on the programme merited and received generous applause. The two extremes, Hamlin and Keeler, the bis and the little, are really wonderful on account of their eccentricities In dancing, singing and comedy. Miss Marv Maccfch, in her refined song and dance, will pleaie any ndience. As gymnasts, the Crrou Brothers perform many marvellous aU, and are rarely surpassed. Mr. 13. H. Doyle, England's champion clog oancer, makes his first appearance lu America, and is probably safein his offer to compete with any clog dancer in America for 1 1,CC0. Fields and Hanson, the Calbar troubadours, are wonderful musical artists, and Agnes Burns, as the representative of the European vaudeville stage, is an accomplished and brilliant performer. Miss Lizzie . Cimms delights everybody by her excellent terpsichorean divertisement; and the two Macs, a comedy duo from England, in their eccentric mannerisms and peculiar comicalities, present a fine exhibition of talent The performance concludes with a mirthful and farcical comedy, That Bad B07." in which ifr. William Carroll repeats i is previous success in comedy parts. "THE PLASTER'S WIFE.' Thunday, Friday and Saturday, January J U and 10. English's Theater will have Harry Lacev'a "Planter's Wife" as the attraction. Mr. Harry Lacey ia a very painstaking and pleasing actor, and has many admirers here, bavins made a great hit last season when he and Emily Iii gl appeared at English'. This season Mr. Lacey has engaged -Miss Eina Carey, a very intelligent actress, formerly with the Union Square Theater Company, a? the leadiDg lady of the "Planter's Wife." We have seen Miss Charlotte Thompson. Maude Granger, Hose Kfene and Emily Riel play in this piece, and the part of "Edith Oray, the Planter's Wife," is one of the strongest emotional parts on the starre, and ws may expect to tee Miss Carey do fail justice to the part, judging her excellent work In "A False Friend," which was prepensed at English's five seasons ago by the Union Square Theater Company. There is something refreshing, after a long season of comedy and melodrama, to see a real Ameri can prcduction such as 'The Planter's Wife," wholesome in theme and moral, strong in interest, decent in humor, and original in plot and action. Mr. Tillotson, the author of "The Planter's Wife," hai g;ven saveral successful dramas to the stage. His play "Linwood" is now running in New York to good business, and "Belmont's Bride," also written bv him, has proved a preat success financially and artistically. The story of "The Planter's Wife," which has appeared in the Sentinel, is new, the material judiciously selected, and the motive clean. The dialogue is rich in language, but never breaking into irrelevant platitudes a trick much in vogue with modern play-wrights. and discouraged by all honest criticism. The interest begins with the beginning and holds throughout, the situations are strong and the climaxes skillf ully reached. There is no deviation from the narrative, no irrelevant byplay, no character but has an essential connection with the plot. "THE EEOGAK STCDENT" AT THE ?U5D. One of the most notable engagements of the present eecson will be the appearance of the Thompson Opera Company at the Grand Opera House the first half of this week, opening to-morrow evening. The company is a strong organization of thirty-rive people, and will present it for the first time in this city, tha latest comic opefa, entitled, "The Beggar Student" The opera is famous for the run it had in Vienna where it was produced for 3-V nlebta, Berlin, 230 nieMs; London. SCO nights, and at the Cis'no, New "York, 2Ö0 nights to crowded houses. The characters are - sustained by artists of unquestioned ability, whose names are readily recognized as established favorites. Amoi'g them are: M'll Alice Gallia rd. late of Vienna Theater; Miss Louise Manfred, late of the New York Opera Company; Miss France D. Hall, late of McCaull'a Opera Comique Company; Miss Georgie Lincorn, late of McCaull's Opera Comique Company: Miss Maude Waldemere. late of Dud's Standard Opera Compapy, New York: Miss Ilica Mann, late of the Casino, New York; Mr. A. W. F. McColiin, late of McCaull's Opera Comique Company; Mr. Charles M. Pyke. late of New York Orera Company; Mr. Will H. Kohnie, late of Ford'a Opera Company: Mr. S. F. Sanford, late of McCaull's Opera Comique Company, supported by a well-drilled caorus of twenty-five schooled voices. The costumes and appointments are rich and elegant, and in this respect, as will also be noticeable in other distinctions of this grand organisation, will surpass anything heretofore presented in this city, and this beautiful work of Genee and Mtlocker, will receive the minutest attention in every detail, to place It on the stage in a more elaborate manner than has ever been seen bere. So as to give this opera of "The Beg?ar Student" a complete production, the Thompson Opera Company carry its own orchestra. Cheap prices will rule. Think of it! Opera at 15, 3, 50 and 75 cents. Sale of seats now in progress at the theater box office. The Philadelphia Press thus speaks of their recent sue ceesful season in that city: "Seldom has a performance gone off with greater credit to the artists and greater satisfaction to the spectators. The opera itself i light and animated, and the music sparkling and r itching. The interpretation was in all respects tirat class from the prima donna to the super srho carried the banner." fi r ir.TTY LITTt.E MIXX'E TALM CS. This charming, vivacious little lady, with ritr big bright eyes, nimble feet and funny now of buovant spirits, and ail aglow with her recent European triumphs, will be with us again the last three nights of this week, at tha Grand Opera House, presenting her greatest tucccets, "My weetheart." Little Minnie bad all London at her feet for over aix months, and they are still calling tor her to come back. This will be her tlrst appearance in Indianapolis since the departure for England two years ago. "My Sweetheart," now everybody's sweetheart, ia steadily winning her way to fame and fortune, äs her wonderful success both abroad and at home must testify, the result of which is due to -r combined talent, youth, beauty 3i the determined industry to perfect herII in ner art and give pleasure to the pubThe play oi "ilv Sweetheart" Is now Starlv an onerettn that in a verr short it will be completely transformed into f we can credit the general reporis reins the matter. In a conversation with lie Rosen, who has been with the little I during the past three years, we are in3 to mere than believe that the Indiani public will be more delighted than ever ths bewitching Minnie when the many new ieatures newly revised play. At

the close of the present tour the ntire company return to Europe for an indeßnit period. Showing the estimate in which Misa i'almer is held abroad, the following from tbe London Drama will be read with interest : ''Her beaoty need not be dispute i. he is as fresh as the ilowers of spring. 8he has a clear and strong soprano voice that trills so the nightingales themselves mi -at almost be expected to pause in their singing to listen, and she is so light of foot that she see ns to dance on air. Vry graceful is all her dancing; very pretty is the twinkling of her feet Tina, the j art played by Miss Minnie Palmer, is a little rustic hoyden, utterly wayward, wholly self-willed, asroah and untutored as a wild colt, as playful as a kitten, as mischievous as a monkey, as gentle as a gszelle. She is the pet of her playmates, the torment of her friends, the belle of the district. F.7erj h5dy tells her she is the prettiest woman in the world, and she believes them: she baadailr propoa!a for her band, which sne regards as her natural due. She chafls her mother, and plays prsctical jokes upon her; she reclines against her humble lover's breast, and asks him if &hs is not real nice: the catches Hies to lot loose in the face of a friendly doctor, whom she has nuwed through a fever, and she twitches his ruonstachios and kisses him; she watches o'er her humble loter when he succeeds to a title and fortune, and is instrumental in saving him from the designs of a wilv woman of the world, and when he is blind

and the title and the fortune are again torn from him, she is eyes and hands" to him, and eventually, when Iiis sight is restored, she becomes his wife and all ends happily. TBK MUSETM. This popular place of amusement entertained crowds of people last week. Anew programme -wc ill be introduced to-morrow. A new curiosity called "Jo Jo." a dog and rcan, the human Skye terrier, will be exhibited; also. Dr. Caenovia, resurrectionist, who cuts men up and restores them. Tae Aztecs will stay one more week. Tne stae performances will be new and attractive. the zoo. The Zoo management struck out in a new line last week. Every day they gsve away hundreds of loaves of bread, and they propose to continue the good work this week at the rate of 500 loaves every d.iy. The at.i e will be occupied by Miss Lillie Halts specialty company, Billy Bryant, Miss Alfredo Nelson Curry, O'Brien fc Uedding .nd others. Matinees TueaJay, Thursday and Saturday. Performance every night. Go to the Zoo. NOTI S. Minnie Palmar is said to have more pairs ot pretty stockings than any other actresi oa the stage. She also has a number of valuab?e diamonds. The first half of nxt week the attraction at the Grand Opera House will be the "Hoop of Gold," and th? last three nights the MiJifou Square "May Blossom" Cjmpauy. The calabistic letters "M. P." and "M. S , so conspicuously displayed all over the 0117 for several days past, are now explained to rnfan "Minnie I'almer, My Sweetheart" or John Hogers' sweetheart.

The eale of feats will open on Thursday. Will Mayo and Miss Jor.e Sutherland, who are playing a very successful engagement ia this city at the Z o, have gained quite a rep u'ation, and one ein Lear upon the streets: "Have you feen Mayo and Sutherland at the Zoo? I tell you they are fine!" and many other kindred remarks. They will appear at tb:s popular resort 11 this week, beginning to-morrow night. A WEEK OF KXOirKMEtf T. Wheat Has Gone Up a Few Point and Seems to Stick Some Itullg Waiting tor a Sag Corn Touches the Lowest I'olnt of the Peaion. Chicago, Jan. 3. It lias icen a week oi excitement and activity in the wheat pit on 'Changs, with too hulls generally in control. The pries opened on the upgrade influenced by light receipts a big flow of outside orders and liberal buying Iby llammlll & Brine, Lester, Baker and other 6trou? houses. Predictions were al-jomada that the warm wet weather then prevailing would be followed by a freeze that would endanger tbe winter wheat plant, nd as at best the decreased acreage Is not expected to produce over a ;C0,CO0.(X'0 tcshel crop any dataajc to this world to liicly to cau.-'e a scramble. Cables too were higher and although a large nuinbei of orders lor oirs were ne;lved Iiom tfce Northwest, the bulls argued that receipts could not Increase much in that quarter, as there was comparatively little grain left tbcro to 8rnd forward. At the top of a risu however, conyiderable JOilk-n? develoned. an I a tbe fcbcrw sf etned earelewi about coreriai?. some ta k of a oda-watir buUe wen indulged lu. l!ut the pestfn of the "visible supply" figure p'U sellers in a stmi-pan'.c, and everybody tumbled over everybody else In endeavors to Ira1 ur 'itciiiy.

It ras not thought that the amount in ticht would foot up a very large Increase, but that it should sho-.va decrca.se oi very nearly 400.C00 bushels was sonethlu? nobody had thought of, and values climbfd Vfi higher. Another rush of country orders followed, and many ot the old bulls who have been working alon on the buyicg tide for months could not resist taking the first decent profit which they have seen to their credit this fo isou. Thus the greater part of the load was stiifte 1 over upon weaker shoulders, end the former holders became bears for a turn la order to freeze out the buyeis and get back their stuff at the Ceclioe. Tnis weakened tne deal eonMderably.and altnouh there has been no considerable break, rjuotatiom hAve net advanced evert when aided by heavy export purchases, and the announcement that the emt-anoual report of slocks at Liverpool khowed lcsjithan bait as much wheat as was there a year ago. l-.verybody seems to have faith in inuca higher prices later on, but the geueral opialon is that now something of a set-back is in or ler, so that strong men may get a better hold, l'erbapt, however, the cry lact that somany are prepared and waiting for a en?, may prevent It. and thoso wt o sre now exper fug to buy at a decline may be glaa to Ret In at a much higher raaxe. Tae bull movement h received a check, but it is not unlikely to gtther force without going lower, though the latter days of the week were so broken by the holiday frohe and general evenin up by traders for the new year, that it wasdltricult to tell whit the local temper reallr was. The undertone of th market is certainly strona and the letUup, wbllo uot.buoyaut, is far from biag Me.it. l o'n was held up f r a while by the fl rmne in wheat, but later the colder weather increaj?d reeJp s and a larger proportion of contract grades pmdnced a bearish tone.

CHICAGO DRIFT.

Yaariea of the Weather SulTei-Ioar and Marfatioa Minns a Street CommUsIoner. Th Holiday In CMraeo-Ooott-Will and Overflowing ltenevolenre. Ci.'iOA'.o, Dec 31. Chicago is a great city. It is like a tea, only it is full of people instead of water. We mix and mingle in its ebbing and llowicg tides. Pillow follows billow, each one lost iu the drifting mass. Crowds Jsurge upon crowds .then they separate, each falling quietly into place, although tbere tceraa to be none for him, and he would not know where to find it if there were. I am jostled, crowded and bumped. So. is my neighbor. We heed it not. 1 look into store windows until the eye tires of seeing, I study fases and the different emotions moving them. Action seems impressed upon the facial lineaments. "We are here to act; thought comes when the quiet of the years has dawned upon us," seems written on the page3 of human expression. City dwellers speed on to different objects. The visitor from the country meanders wonderingly with eyes and mouth agape. Here we are made aware that there are other bodie3 in the world beside ourselves who may be greater and wiser, but still humanity everywhere will laugh or cry, rejoice or regret, be careless or religious, provident or improvident. The same emotions control u?, whether living in Chicago, or tiicong the great hills, or on the sweeping prairies. WHAT A LUV THAT H which necessitates change as its fulfilling! 'Tis as immutable as the passing of a minute. It is a part of life, all life. WTe lind it traced upon the tiniest specimen of inanimate nature. We see it in the orbital revolutions of the planetary system. We had it in the face, upon heads that are frosted with years. We find it in Chicaao. One morning ihe mercurial gcd dropped down upon a-i icy plane fiixteen degrees below little zoro and about forty below comfortably cool temperature in less than fcrty-eight houra, and taea he seemed to laugh At his emissaries painted windows and walla with a glistening fro3t w rS, and pinchad earj, nose, lingers and toe um! they tingled themselves numb, and he fairly chuckled as hia cold breith hisked in and around the highways and bywaypof town, driving the Uüs'.ieltervid to police stations, saloons, dens anywhere to pet oat of the way of his direful g!te. Warnly clad women peep? 1 out from furs and wraps with ejes and cheeks aglow. Overcoated and big-whiskered men hurriel on with steaming breaths. Eltop girb clung to their ears. Clerks opened nd clinched the bands spasmodically, ti tcknien kicked at imaginary things Oae old veteran driver froze to death in driving iu a funeral cortege to the burial place, or he died in a few hours from the c fleet 3 of the co'.d. 'ihe poor God pity the poor, the 'shivering, the destitute. borne estimate of tbe number of working people out of employment in Chicago a over i'.i GGü; otheis, that there are 10,00) men, who have dependent families, out of work. All ooe need to do is to visit the readirg rooms, saloons, and such pubiis p!nces ub are open, wh-re men can congregate to keep vi arm, and the number counts up ftartlingly fast The other evening I passed down labile street, and saw a poor feUov hovering over a few lUmea he had kindled in an iro.i kettle in the cellar of a building lately scuttled by fire. I wondered who he was. I piused the winds sounding through the emptyshell seemed to moan, "only one of the homeless in Chicago to-night.'1 Last night after dark I was accosted upon the street by a well-dressed but pale f iced young man, who apologized for his seeming rudeuees, and then said: "Can you help me to something to eat? I'm out of money: l can't get work: I've tried for three weeks I've had nothing for two days. I've asked men and women lor food. I've begged in restaurants and ho'eh, aud they all refuse me. I'm almost re.riy to drop or die, or do something desperate." Here we are in Chicago, a rich populace, which i3 phenomenal in its growth in finarce ;md prosperity among thousinds of sleek, well-fed, well-dressed men and women wLo are on the streets daily, and where over one hundred thousand Christ mas dinners were eaten last Tours lav. and yet one meets the beggir, tne person who through so.ne iniscbinca id ft.tltnin amid all rt 4Vii icdiH!i lntiirr I and ease. Want, BUtlering and distress are common sights. You may ay It is so in all large cities. Where great numbers congregate there is bound to be more or less of destitution. Hut there is a wrong somewhere a missing factor, the absence of which is the bottom cause of much of the suflering. "To be or not to be" is the question, aud how to be is the problem, het some of our wise heads solve it. THCRK IS TH01 HI.E IK TflK ClTV CAMP. Mayor Harrison has turned William Fcgarty out of the streets that i, out of being Superintendent of the Streets and now they are neglected. That is probably the cause cf their extreme mudiness of yesterday. There was no one to wipe up th; mud and sweep o:I" the cros3iugs. Tha Times stated Sunday that nobody might be appointed before spring, as such services vere not needed cow. Well, the Tiu:e3 knows, oi course. . "Why was Fosrty deposed?' Well, Fofarty says 'tU because he wsan ollicer good and true, and becuse In believed in acting as he thought wa? n'gbt, providing tuch acting was in accordance with the proper execution of his dutiei, and because he didn't vote right at the late election, etc. Mayor Harrison says he proved 'his incompetency in various ways. They have written each other some very Dice letter, and dropped them into t!i columns of the rity papers in-tad of tbe p?stotlice; at any rate Chir.igo has o Street Superintendent, and last night tue weather was so warm that men worked round the doors of the warehouses with coAtsirand were on the street without overcoats Today little Üurries of snow whisfc ah.-mt, loese dirt Uiei into the face aad eyes and the mr.d is chocolate colored ice powder; wonder if it's cause ttere's no superintendent. THE rillUTMA3 TiDK ha3 not begun to ebb, not even at its llooJ, yet. Life is all agos with tbe drift thit comes in social fancies, p!ea?ant happening, merry germane, benevolent benefits, scholarly reunions and the sound of wedding bells. i j peeped out m:o toe aay time on nrs: white. It was as white as snow. Streets, yards, roofs all were covered and whited with the frosted Mikes. A grayish canopy arched the bending skies, and seemed to draw more closely down to mother earth. The air was dulled of the raspisa edge of the wintry wind that whisked about cue's ears the day before. A calm quiet pervaied everywhere. Tbe glistening sun glare and glinting snow tiake were shut out, and the milder air of a "falling temperature" shut in. After the dinners the Christmas dinners there was a sound of revelry by day. 6!eighicg waa excellent, and from noan till' midnight the boulevardj were alive with the jingle of tinkling hell5, the swirl of rushing runners, tbe clinic of the trots of frotters, happy face3, shouts and laughter. The old family tarnouts jerked jocgiusiy iibng, keeping pain

fully neer the wide idewalk to avoid the dashing cutter. Double sleighs handled fait of Chrietiuas parties looked at the trimmings of green to beseen in every window and ever many a door. The hsppy "engaped" couple looked confidently ahead, all unmindful ot the iling 3 of.hardened snow from their horje's ff et. The h:gh b'ocded, fieet-footed "Lady Usy" outcjstanced theru a!l, and the buttons of pride nearly burst from the olae-coated lackey who drew the rein above her clear clipped back. Little ronies, little children iu little catUrs frisked jauntily on, the animated a'r tirgl'mg tbe cheek?, tossing the hair, blowing tbe ?ay ribbons away. Never a div eo Dite before, . As the Xtnas aay of eighty-four. That is mine; please, Mr. Printer, don't quote it by putting little dotted tails around it. l.TKCOL TAV.V was a delightful attraction, too. Childhood, youth, maturity and age vied with each other in the akatorial pastime. Everybedy mcst and bis aunte, cousins and sisters were there to ska'e or be skated, slide or be slided, and slips, elides, tumbles aad bumps are among the recorded incidental accidents. What a difference lhere is in the movements of skaters! 8ome move undulatingly aiong; others jerk, hobble, hitch, until every joint seems in danger of dislocation. There is cot sufiicient space for the skating population here, although Chicago i3 washed oy theJLakeJof Michigan. In Lincoln Park on the afternoon in question there was about one square yard of epa.e for two individual skaters. If theJo were Fritz and his Dulcaa the square yard win sufiicient; but for thesir gly blest man, the Etaidier sort of a fellow, and the independent, strong-minded, ts well as footed girl, the space was far too limited. Mutual apologies followed, like collisions; nevertheless they still felt tnubbed. HOW "MERRILY RASO THE ÜEIdV for the lame and blind, the homeless children and the poor old folk, as their peats reechoed from Fullerton avenue to Hyde Park. The benevolent and charitable insti

tutions were all remembered. No inmate was forgotten. "Trees," dinners, gifts and merry-rrafcings were the happeniagsof the eventful day. Crime eyen was forgotten, and the poor felloivs at the "Bridewell" were fed on tnrkey. The prisoners at the County Jail were made proportionately happy on "chicken iixins." lint some are never Sitbtied. l ive of tht hoarders there turned up their pick-pockety noses and made unwemly reruarka aboat ths dinner, whereupon their noses were suddenlj turned do n ward into dark dungeons, there io suilT tbe air of eolitui ;i d meditate on the sin "f iiigraiitudf , hLd grabble the first Christina) nrvf.t in th dark.

Among the many noticable acts of individ ual benevolence that of ex-Aldfrman Julius Jonas deserves mention. Piacards were posted at difierent points Christmas morn ing inviting the poor and tbe ueedy to come to LS N. Clark street, at 10 o'clock a. m., aad buy meat and bread "without money and without price." They came. By night eirhteen quarters of beef bad been distribut ed. One hundred and fifty sheep had tound new folds. Twenty-live barrels of chick ens would never go home arain ti roost Eighteen barrels of turkeys were missing, so were wagon loads of bread, öooie of the re cipients looied their pratitude. Eves nn uivd to teara became misty as the parcels were given them. Nine were de nied. "Jnd may the eaint3 ble33 ye: may yer years be long and yer Christma3 merry; may ye have many childers, aud may they be prettv and may they be like ye the saints bleF8 yer givin' han'," and the loquacious old Irish woman trudged oil with a well filled basket. An American woman quietly approached the counter. Bhe stood silent. "Is there anything in particular we can serve you to? Have you any preference?" kindly inquired one of Mr. Jonas' assistantj. "Anything you may bo pleased to give me will be giatefully accepted." A nice bundle was made reaiy. A glance ot th? slight woman. The parcel was heavy. Mr. Jonas ordered it 9ent to her mme. The street and number were taken. The abundance of tbe pilt, the lindly interest, unloosed ih hesitating tongue, and with the ters weilii jr into her eyes, the lady said: "This is the first reai kindne oil-?rsd me ever m Chicago. I thank you, from the depth of my heart." -Well, ruy little man, what ctu I do tor yon?"f aid Mr. Jouas. s a wan-fa e J lad sidled toward tbe counter.

The most populcr woman in Paria to-day ia Madame Clovis Hugues, ; who shot a private detective named.Morin under circumstances which are regarded by leading people in the French metropolis, as well as by the masses, as justifying her terrible deed. he is the wife of a poet and Parliamentary deputy, sent to the capital by citizens of Marseilles. Her life hu been exceptionally fortunate and happy. A native of the south of France, she possesses the highest type of beauty developed under sunny skies. Her figure possesses perfect grace and nobility; Her complexion is pale: her eyes and hair are blacr. She has been the poet tdatesiran's wife long enough to be the mojlier o! two beautiful daughters, one eight and the other live years ot ege. Devotedly attached to her husband aad family, possessed of superior mental aud artistic culture, com n.andins tbe resources of considerable wealth and enjoying the rarest social advantage, Madame Clovis Husues livtd in domfViic retirement characterized by u-any circumstances of felicity, until led Sy au unhappy tram of circumstances, f.he cor-iodert-d it exid ent to take Ihn law inu be r n Lands fcg.iintt tha desooiler of her grod narce and that of her busbaod.

Madame Clovis Hngues" victim. Morin, was a private detective employed by a firm in Paris One day. lounging in the straneers lobby at the Palais Pourbon, whither she had gone for the purpose of walking home with her husband at ihe close of the Parliamentary labors of the day, Morin sacv her, wes struck with her beauty, became acquainted with whom she was and conceived the diabolical intention of bringing her into an inquiry affair on which he was engaged at ihe time. The object of the inquiry referred to was to relieve a certain Countess of a young man who had married her for her money. Morin, without tbe remotest reason for it, beyond his desire to profit by providing the means cf effecting her purpose for the Countess, slanderously eonnected the name of Madame CIovis-Hugues with that of the countess' husband. When this lady heard of the outrage, she demanded, revolver in hand, a retraction from the Countess, who could do no more than refer her to the firm of detectives having Morin in their employment. They, in turn, referred her to that scoundrel, who lid into Belgium to avoid the consequences of h'8 unscrupulous conduct. in hi3 absence Morin was sentenced to piy a tine and heavy damages, and to two years' imprisonment. Upon his return to Paris the cae pgainst him was heard the secDnd time, and resulted in his conviction. He aptfaled, and followed thia up with the circulation of alanderoui nn.ral cards and umer iiieuus oi injuria j.iauanie u-iovia- j Huues and her husband, not sparing that j cf deriding her in public places. CircutuEtacces evidence that political influence I was employed to back Morin In these in- j famous paoceedings, with the view to damage the interest represented by the Mar- : teillcs deputy. This was suspected bv j his wife, who had been kept in ignorance of ; Moria's appeal. Hearing when it was o be - 1 . . a ' r j htard, the attended the court, at whicu counsel appeared asainst the detective, proviiled with evidences of hisalmoit incredi'ole vilisinv. in the sbane of liballom ujstl curds and other matter. The court adj onrt d ournp.i the f ae. Madaiue Clovis-If uues took this leniency to Morin to mean that sue wai to be the vc'.im of a political conspiracy, conirrnins the 8U?picion which bad led her to provide herself with a revolver and to make every preparation for a stay iu jaii. Wtrle in court Morin behaved in u aueerin manner, which, it is sud, indicated an understanding with toe jadiie. He fell mortally wounded by the rrolv?r of th victi ni i,f his detraction before 1j had even lefc the precintu cf tbe court. M.

It contained les than (JO.tHjO inhabitants, and what were then considered tfce finest houses were jast bflow the Capitol and above the avenue. The fßshiocable northwest part of the city was a swamp, and even the nepcro huts, which later sprung up, had not yet appeared. The whole country contaired less than .'XJ,0C0.CC0 of a population. Still the records state thnt 150,XK trangr3 came to tee the inar gu ation, and on tbe niht of the 3d of March thousands walked the streets to keep warm, being unable to procure lodgings. Several of the different notels, small as they were then, had nQO guests registered, and every boarding-house was packed, halls, cellar and garret. March ? was a bleak winter day, and the President-elect rose before daybreak at his home at Wheatlands, Fa., and had finished breakfust before he started for Lancaster in his carriage. He had written and rewritten hisinauguial message, and he made only one change in it after he got to Washington. A crowd of Lancaster citizens came to Wheat lands to escort him to the depot, and a band of music played while he rode into town with his Private Secretary, Mr. Henry, Harriet lne and another younlady in his carriage. At the Lancaster station he found a social car waiting for him, built for the occasion by Robert Magraw, a railroad friend of bis. This car had painted windows, and there represented the scenes about "Wheati lands. President liuchanan's home. All ' i . i , r t a . . r alcng tbe road from Lancaster to Washingten ovations were eiven to the President elect, but he arrived in Washington two hours earlier than wa9 expected, and the programme of his reception here was rather thin. He was driven at once to the National Hotel, which still stands at Pennsylvania avenue, half way between the Capitol and Trasury. and here he was crowded with visiters. Nearly evervbody was admitted, and politicians, oilice--eeker3, and disinter ! ted partus pushed this way and that to i eet at him.

As it did so h andrHia of )op!e were already at their stand to et an't&rly watch-point for the proce:3, aad the City ball sttps, where it was to orgauiz, were crowded. At 12 o'clock the prownloa was orrutd, and it marched to Wizard's Hotel, at the head tf Pennsylvania avenue. j near the Tr-sury, where th two rresid-nt, ' Pierre abd ll ichanftn, were to meet and o J jo o tb Capitol in the fame carriage.

With them rode beuatörs Bigler. of Pennsylvania, and Foote. of Yeraiont. The precession wai a lontr one It was made up of nilitary organizations citizens, aad clubs, ard in it were two Innsy lvaniana who, it is said, tad walied sixty milei to be present at the inhUKUraliou of "old Buck," as they called him. One waon represented peace, ) war, commerce, and agricclture, and bore a i liberty pole in tbe center runningup seventy i feet, with a poreeous liberty cap on it t?p. Tbe President elect was near the he ri of tue precession, and nar him, throughout the ceremonies, was a phjsicim. ready to administer medicines should the little touch which he had caught of the National Hotel du.prove dangerous. At the Capitol -"0 "o people were present, and it is reported that Beau Hickman was among them, passioz from one to another and solicitins; small loans. The inaugural address was delivered on tbe east portico of the Capitol, and the President was duly sworn in. As the os,th was administered it was said it was etill ai deatn, and at the close of the inauguration there were cheers, Ealvos of artillery, and music by the Marine Band. The President then proceeded to the White Htne, which ex President Pierce had vacated, and here Buchanan received the people.
