Hie 1‘rtnee of Wales’* SleeplneM. Apropos of the serious illness ot the Prince of Wales, the following paragraph, from a late London paper, almost foreshadowing his present condition, will be read with interest: “The habits of the Prince of Wales have apparently produced an affection of the brain, which shows itself in extraordinary sleepiness. At performances of serious operas and plays, he is constantly seen sleeping profoundly in his box; only opera bouffe or undress ballet can keep him awake. Americans who witnessed the wonderfully impressive Passion Play, last summer, at Oberammergau, in Bavaria, were treated also to the sight of the Prince of Wales, seated with the Princess and her ladies, and sleeping soundly through it ail. Such drowsiness is morbid, and indicates softening of the brain, which may terminate in paralysis.” "Love's Labor Lost." The New York Observer adduces as a remarkable instance of useless labor, a book which was recently exhibited in a London shop window. It was a volume in manuscript, handsomely bound in gilt, and written with extraordinary care and neatness, containing 40C pages of three columns each. It was without a single idea, and what is re, it contained but a single word. The stery was explained by its title page, wh i along as follows: Thirty-three Tit Five Hundred and Thirty-five Wi telling ‘‘Scissors.’’

Mayor Hall has resigned Ms membership in the Union Club in consequence of the bitter feeling existing against him among thfe’ pembers by reason of his connection with
the rlrijt.
To-morrow evenin'? * meeting of the Club was to have been held to eohllGaf Mjs expulsion, but he anticipated their probable ACtJe®
bv sending in his resignation.
The Tributte of this morning says: It is certain thaVit is Tweed's design to remain Concealed Until he can take his seat in the Senate. This pafpuse has been «msi»ected for aorhe time, hut it will not save him from arre*t. It is known that steps haV'e already been taken sHiiCh Vrill defeat this scheme, and that he will be dislodged from concealment and rearrested on charges graver than
yet made against him.
The following is an exact copy of the order signed by Farley, authorizing the arrest of Tweed' “I hereby deputize authority fend appoint JudJofl Jarvis to seize and surrender the within named WjllkKn M. Tweed to the custody of the Sheriff of the city and county of New York. In exonefiation of himself aud his surety on the understanding of which the within is a certified copy.”
In the presence of Joel J. Stevens, [Signed] Terrance Farley, New York, DecetUbef Wtji, 187J.
The Tribune says that notwithstanding all the assertions to the contrary Tweed's resignation, not only as Grand Sachem o( rfie Tammany Society has been demanded, but even as a member of that Society, and as Tweed has expressed a desire to comply with their requests, it is believed that his resignation is now in the hands of Nicholson, who
refrains from making it public.
The Tribune continues: It is very well understood that Tweed can not obtain bail. Itwffi? stated yesterday that owing tolas complications it would be impossible for him to raise $250,000, Of obtain security in $100,000, and there is probably nothing left him
but flight or imprisonment.
It is reported that J udge Bedford s Grand Jury are busily engaged framing a bill against Mayor Hafl, and that Mr. O’Connor is zealously opposing the action. It is believed that an indictment will be found within a few days. ,, , James H. Haekett. the veteran actor, died at his residence in Jamaica, Long Island, last night at the age of seventy-two. His disease was dropsy and liver complaint.

9 bier.
Chicago, December 28.—Edward Powers, Civil Engineer of this city, has petitioned Congress for aid in making an experiment for the artificial production of rain by means of gunpowder and cannons. He cites many instances in which rain followed great battles, and.asserts that similar results will always follow similar causes. He asks the use of 300 pieces of ordnance of the United States, not less than twelve pounders, 20,000 blank cartridges, ten miles of insulated wire, an electrical battery and such men as he may need, and that transportation may be fur-
nished.
There are no further developments regarding the death of the woman whose body was found in a box. . Prominent citizens ha^p been appointed to receive Alexis Saturday ’ night. Dn Monday they will drive him about the city and in the evening he will leave for Milwaukee. Dr. Rene, with several aliases, was arrested yesterday for stealing a pocket book containing $0,000 in notes from an agent of C. H. McCormick <fc Co., on a sleeping car coming to this oity. He took a satchel from under the pillow of the sleeping man and took out the pocket book and replaced the satchel without waking him. He was finally caught through the aid of a keeper of a house of assignation, whom he asked to assist him in disposing of the notes.
/ Marriage. The Bridgeport, fonnecticut, Standard say* that on Tuesday afternC'On the officer on duty at the dewot at’that place reCteived a telegram dated at Norwalk, requesting Irim to have a jArnistef at Che depot on the am 7*1 of the 2:32 Boston express, as there was a couple on the train who Waft fed to get married. The telegram was si'grfsd by r gentleman well l**x»wn to the officer, and upon its receipt ho at onc’C tot to work to secure the presence of a clergy ns an sf the depot previously to the arrival*of the train, it was nearly due, ami no time was to be squandered in the useless Ceremony of trying the save expense. The Office? called a hack, and seated himself thereiff 0>frlered the driver to proceed with all possible haste to the residence of a well known clergyman. He being absent, another and finally another waa sought. At last the Rev. Dr. —- wae found amT hurried off to the depot, where he had hardly time to compose his thoughts before the train came thundering along. While it was yet in motion the author of the telegram leaped from the cars, and running up to offi «er A , informed him that the couple were in the rear car in waiting. There was not much time to lose, and to the rear end of the train the official and minister sped with almost the celcrifr of light. Arnold entered the car at one end, Dr. at the other. With solemn tread they proceeded along the aisle until they met near the center of the. car. The doctor scanned the passengers closely, and finally inquired of the officer which the couple were. ‘T think this is the couple,” said he. pointing to a young man and young woman occupying a seat near him. The clergyman advanced toward them, and inv a clear, slow voice said; “Are you the couple who desire to be married V” They made, no answer, but appeared to be utterly confused and dumbfounded. They turned all sorts of colors, and the minister began to think there was a mistake somewhere. By and by the whistle sounded ant! the train left for New Haven, carrying the lady and gentleman along writh it, while the officer and minister stayed behind. The af-' fair was then explained by the gentleman who had sent the telegram and who had witnessed the whole joke, as follows: The couple bad attracted a good deal of attention on the passage by their affectionate kisses and embracess and he concluded to play a trick on tl»em that would, perhaps, operate beneficially, hence the telegram. He gave the minister five dollars for his trouble, and also paid the expenses of the hack, and in that way squared the joke. Judge Learned of Albany. New York, haa denied the motion to continue the injunction restraining Tweed from disposing of his property. Hon. Murray Morrison, formerly of Illinois, Judge of the Seventeenth District Court, died at Los Angeles, California, on the 18th inst. More snow slides, with loss of life are reported in Utah. The trains are blocked and snow is stiff-falling.

FOREIGN ENGLAND. Lohdon, December 28.—The report from Geneva, purporting to be official, that the American representatives to the conference claimed a sum greatly exceeding the French indemnity to Germany, has scared the London press. FROM WASHINGTON Treasury Investigation—Length of the Session. [From the Cincinnati Gazette’s Special of this mom
ln*.l
The investigation into the condition of the Treasury continues daily, but so far the Committee have discovered no additional defalcations in the cash account A careful examination of the Redemption Division was completed to-day, and every thing found to be correct The proposition made in the Senate before the recess to close the present session of Congress before the 1st of June is to be sustained it is understood, by ail the Republican Senators and members. The idea seems to be to end Congress before the Presidential cam paign is opened. Members state that it is better to pursue such a course than to take another recess for the convention. FROM NEW YORK*
What v weed and visit are Mein*. [From the Cincinnati Enquirer’s Special of thJe
morning.]
It is understood to-night that the chief object of Tweed in avoiding an arrest was t-^. be able to hold his beat in the Legslature* which meets next week. It is stated on good authority that he has already made arrangements to get into his seat, and defy all attempts to oust him The grand jury’s term expires on- the 30th, and if it is not extended Tweed will be safe from indictment after his term of service begins. Judge Bedford promised at the rime or the last extension of the grand jury’s term to make another extension if asked for, and it is probable the extension will be sought to make sure of keeping Tweed out ol *he Senate. None of the indictments have been taken in court This week the jury is in session daily and is expected to make an other sensation before long. Fisk is working in behalf of Tammany, and threatens to impeach a member of the grand jury, »o as to make their action illegal
