The Pennsylvania Railroad Com- any are very much praised by our citizens tier the manner in which the work has been performed, and the expedition that has been used.

Our Christmrs for this year is now In thing of the ast. The day opened on Saturday very g corny? owing to a rain-storm that set in the day efore, which made all out-doors disagreeable, and, continuing at intervals throughout Christmas day, rather disap- pointed those who looked for on out-door oliday. Nevertheless the day was well spent by our citizens, cheery in spite of the weather, merry in spite of the times. The festivities were somewhat more of a fireside festival than usual. People as a. rule re- mained at home, indulgin in the inevitable turkey and mince-pie, an giving evidence of life to the pedestrian by orgeouslyâ€"decorated Christmas-trees, set Wit pardonable vanity in easy view from the streets through the front parlor windows. The public oflioes and courts were of course closed, and, from the lack 0Lthe usual holiday drunkenness, the station-houses were almost deserted. The day with its quiet seemed more like a Sun. day than a general holiday. The theatres, as usual had special services, and were well attended, The Roman Catholic, the Pro- testant Episcopal, and the Lutheran Church were all open and well attended, the ever- green and floral decorations being in all cases appropriate, and in some instances very beautiful. . . The poor and unfortunate were net forgotten in the enjoyment. In all the charitable institutions Christmas dinners were given, and at all the public institutions the day was made as merry and enjoyable as possible to the inmates. Even the criminals were not forgotten, for special dinners were provided for the occupants of the gloomy cells in Moyamensing Prison and the East- ern Penetentiary. ’lhe poor who are not inmates of any of these institutions had seine five thousand loaves of bread distributed to them from headquarters established in vari- ous sections of the city, and in one place the carcass of a bullock was given out in steaks.

The morning service at 8 o’clock being a discourse by Mr. Moody on " How to Read the Bible,” the discourse was devoid of anecdote, but full of practical suggestions. “ The best book to interpret tho Bible,” he said, “is the Bible itself. The proper way to study it is to take it up by topics, one subject at a time. Take for instance the subject of Love, and study it from Genesis to Revelations, and when you have fully stud- ied the subject you will love everybody in the world.” The sermon was full of just such suggestions. The afternoon meeting was devoted to women, and the doors were kept open until 4.30, for the accommodation of the senior scholars of the Sunday schools. This meeting was about as largely attended as usual, but the men’s meeting of the oven- in was one of the largest that has yet been he (1. At the close of the sermon a large number arose for prayers.

There is not, perhaps, upon the Western waters a steamboat clerk, or, for that matter, any other heat hand, who does not know Duke Ensminger, the wharfmaster way down in Cairo. This noble old gentleman is of the ibaehelor persuasion ; but that he was never , married is certainly his own fault, as the fol- lowing incident will show : Marmaduke was a passenger on the ill-fated Brandywz‘na when she was destroyed by fire in 1832, at the Devil‘s Elbow, on the Mississippi River. \Vhile swimming from the wreck of this vessel he saved from drowning a young and beautiful maiden by carrying her on his back safely to the shore. The gallant act made him the hero of the hour among the rescued passengers. One old lady, in her enthusiastic admiration of the noble Duke, muchly i11- sisted on his marrying the girl right then and there. But our ancient friend was, you bet, equal to the occasion, and he politely declined, saying : “ \Vell, I think I have :1]- ready done enough for that young woman.” Capt. James Miller, for many years con- nected with the Nashville and St. Louis. trade, had a certain curt way of expressin , himself in reply to what he deemed foolis 1 (uestions from his passengers.

A circular just is- sued by the Agricultural Department, states that the Bureau of Agriculture, International Exhibition, is charged with the display of all foods in the various conditions and pro- cess of management of wild, cultivated and mzmufrwtured forms . . . . . The extent and vast importance of fish foods will be thoroughly illustrated, and the exhibition of living lish in tanks will be made as com- prehensive as possible. The display is ex- pected to familiarize the people with the best food-producing species, and the appliances used in their propagation, culture and cap. turc. The bureau has received proposals for the erection of twenty-five tanks of approval construction, ranging from two to twenty in length and from one to six feet in depth. affording,r in the aggregate three thousand cubic feet of water. The estimated cost of all connected with is, including attendance, construction, freight on specimens, and the apparatus for erecting and filtering the water is $6000. A constant supply of both fresh and salt fish, embracing every species from the smallest minnow to the largest porpoise, has been promised by responsible parties. . ..

They also urge upon the General Assembly of the State or Mary- land and the Congress of the United States to render prompt and suitable pecuniary aid to the enterprise. . . .At a ineetin of the Ministerial Association of the Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, held in this city on Monday last, it was resolved that the pastors connected with the Association at once enter upon the duty of preparing a history of each of their churches, and make such history the subject of their discourse the first Sunday in July, 1876. after which the discourses are to transmitted to the Presbyterian Historical Society for preservation. The preparation of these church histories is with special re- ference to the Centennial, so that note may be taken of the advance of the church during the past century. . . .Thc Secretary of the Centennial Commission has prepared an un- ollicial paper recommending to the country at large the selection without delay of a person in each county to deliver an address on the 4th of J uly, 1876, and to have the address a history of that particular community for the past century, or from the time of its settle- ment, and including a sketch of its growth, its resources, industries, prospects, 81c. He further recommends that these addresses be published in uniform size, in order that they may be bound together by States. Should these suggestions be generally ado ted throughout the country, the aggregate 0 the addressee would constitute an invaluable his- torical repository such as no nation has ever had the opportunity to collect. In the autumn of 1868 I went up from Southern Europe to spend a few months in the gay capital of Saxony. Those of our nationality in Dresden are very clannish, live in the same part of the town, give parties and dinners, and Germans as at home, and mix little with foreigners, so that once one commences to move round in the circle, one soon meets all who compose it. Amon the many whom I met at the American Clu ), at parties, dinners and at his own house, was an American gentleman knmm to us as \Vm. Thomas. 110 was a large, stout man, weighing possibly two hundred and fifty pounds. He wore a heavy beard and mous- tache, and always appeared in public with heavy gold spectacles. He was a quiet sort of a person, never taking the lead in any- . thing, but still always interesting himself in every thing that was going on, and a good member of society generally. lie lived at the time with his wife, a charming little black-eyed woman, and family in a hand- some suite of rooms on the corner just above the club, and used frequently to entertain in a quiet, pleasant way those whom he counted ,ainong his more intimate friends. Among them 1 may say I was numbered, and so ; often found my way through his hospitable door. He lived, he said, in North Carolina, and at the breaking out of the rebellion found himself obliged to go into the Southern army. lie was in a North Carolina regiment during the summer campaign of 1862, and at Mal- , vern Hills was wounded in the arm. It was 1 in the evening, as he sat with some comrades ; about their camp fire, that a shell exploded % in their midst, killing nearly all, and wound ing him, as I have said. He was sent to the ; rear, and finally discharged as unfit for act- : ive service. He went then to Wilmington, ‘ bought all the cotton he could, ran the blockade successfully, took his cargo to Liverpool, and sold it at an enormous profit. Then he immediately invested his money in United States bonds, which were then at their lowest figure in the English market. Afterwards they trebled on his hands, and between the cotton and the bonds he made from $150,000 to $200,000. He married afterward a Southern lady, who had been educated in Europe, andby her had several children. He had not the appearance of one who had followed the sea, and I should be surprised if it should be proved he had ever commanded a vessel. A sailor, as a rule, never gets rid of the effect of the salt air in his ways and habits and appearance, and I never was able to discover that Thomas was in any manner difl'ercnt from the rest of us. Thomas was the last person among us in Dresden whom one would select as a man capable of doing such a dead as he certainly did at Bremerhavcn. He was a jolly good fellow, as the world would say, yet quiet, and, in fact, rather lazy. That he was not insane when he designed the plot for blowing up the vessel, I cannot believe. It is so an- tirely different from what the man was from his character as his friends knew it, that I am unwilling to believe that he was wholly accountable for what he did. He was in his family an extremely affectionate man, and his wife and children were as tenderly cared for as wife and children could be. It used to he remarked among us that Thomas was unusually devoted to his wife, and not a whim of hers was allowed to go unsatisfied. 7“.1 Q Pm LA' Insulin, Dec 0 . -7, 1875. {Correspondonm 01'th l‘rovidencs Journal} Stories of Mississippl Steamers. The Hand of Bremerhaven. [From the New York World.) Three years ago Mr. Thomas Alexander Mitchell, Member of Parliament for Brid- port, and senior member of the firm of Mit- chell & Co. of London and Riga, who had accumulated £250,0(X), drank a great deal at the Harp, J ermyn street, and was served h the pretty Miss Helen. In 1872, to the amazement of all his acquaintances, he walked off with Miss Helen and married her. She made him an excellent wife, and to a rent extent cured him of his liking for (rinlk. In nmrch last Mr. Mitchell died, leaving £80,000 to his wife, legacies of £1,000 each to his old scrvanm and acquaintances, an annuity of £100 a year {or some old ladiea, his cousins; and another £80,000 in the firm of which he was leading partner, on condition that it should remain for twent '~ five years, and that then his wife shou d have onevhnli of it, While the other half should be retained by the firm.

A New York paper says : 0n the north side of Ann street, between Park row and Nassau street, is a ra dealer’s establish- ment. At all hours of t 6 day hu 8 bags of old paper are piled up on the sic ewalk in front; of this establishment. TWO-thirds of these bags are filled with almanacs and ad- vortising schemeâ€"3. A dealer takee it into his head that it is cheaper to advertise by almanaes than through the papers and he prints mlllions of the little books. He he- lieves that they find their way into the hands of the public and their contents are eagerly devoured, as he trusts his goods will be. Vain belief. He pays $10 to $12 per his books and the rag man gets them for ‘2 cents a pound. One rag man at one time bought ten tons of these things, that. had never been unpacked since they left the bindery. Out of all the almanacs printed for free distributioe probably not one-tenth part ever reach the public and nine-tenths of them etc the rag men. And yet, these wise ment ink such advertising is cheaper and better than patronizing the newepa rs, where every line is sure to be read. ' hey will learn wisdom one of these days. A Trusted Cashier devisas a System of SuccesstuJ Robberyâ€"Detective Golden's Discovery-The Concealment of the Thief. On Oct. 30, 1875, ex-Detective Golden called on Mr. Benjamin T. Babbitt, the soap manufacturer at 69 “'ashington Street, and informed him that he had been robbed by one of his employees of over $500,000. M r. Bab- bitt was incredulous, but consented to an in- vestigation. Goldonhas since been working in the case, and on Monday he made an ar- rest. in the spring of 1868 Charles R. l icckwith became a bookkeeper for M r. Bab- bitt. chkwith had been a cashier for an insurance company in Utica, and had. letters of recommendation. In appearance he is a, rcnmrhablc man. His height is scarce} ' five feet, but he has a large, handsome hwfi He is well-educatet’l. Soon he had not only won thc respect and confidence of Mr. Babbitt but was treated more as a friend than subor- dinate. In 1873 Mr. Babbitt was informed of dishonest practices by his trusted clerk, and he at first refused to credit the stories. Subsequent events proved the truth of- the information. Mr. Babbitt called Beckwith to his private office, told him of the discov- ery, and discharged him. No effort was made to trace the losses. Eighteen months after Beckwitli's discharge Mr, Babbitt's business had apparently increasod over $7,000 n. year. On Nov. 3rd, 1875, Mr. Babbitt, acting under the instructions of his lawyer, Mr. Vt m. A. Beach, had an exami- nation of his books made by an expert ac- countant. Defalcations by Beckwith were discovered amountlngto $500,000. Beckwith’s duties had been those of a cashier. Mr. Babbitt daily signed a. large number of blank cheeks, leaving the cashier to fill them as required, Beckwith suggested a stamp, engraved with the name of the firm to use in lieu of the customary endorsement. Obtaining that implement, he began a sucâ€" cessful method of swindling. Having entire charge of the books, he began alterin the accounts. In some instances he changu hills from $2,000 to 525,000. All customers who had made purchases went to him to pay. He in fact had the entire business under his control. The following is .1 sample of his work :On April, 31, 1871, Mr. Edward Hill, purchased soap to the amount of $5,724. Beckwith changed the entry on the books so as to figure $55,274, eketing the diflerence. So startling was etective Golden‘s dis- covery, that Mr. Babbitt requested Superin- tendent “Yelling to allow that officer his own way. At a rivate meeting of the counsel, police, and B r. Babbitt, it was deemed necessary to watch Beckwith'closoly. Golden traced him as an employee of the Manhattan Insurance Company, but learned that he had ohtained one month's leave of absence, osten- sible to visit his sick mother in Cincinnati. Golden made 11 his mind at once that some employee of I r. Babbitt’s had forewarned Beckwith, and that he was hiding somewhere in the city. He ascertainml that Beckwith lived unostentatiously in a French flat house. A list of those houses were recur-ml. Ten days ago, Golden learned t at a man like Beckwith was residing at 998 Sixth avenue. He took a room in the house opposite, and night and day watched the house, provided with a warrant Engaged in the mining business was a friend who had plenty of enterprise, and but little money. Filley had unbounded confi- dence in him, and when the friend wanted an indorser for his notes Mr. Filley became his surety, Without keeping any record of the amount of money e was holden for. Eventually the mining friend felled, and thus the notes were presented to Mr. Filley for payment. Of course his surprise was great, but the fact gave him no anxiety, for he did not think the indorsements would amount to over $100,000, and he could easily pay that from his ample fortune. Soon $100,000 of notes were presented, and promptly paid, but they did not stop coming until they amounted to $990,000. To pay this would bankrupt Mr. Filley. In fact, he had not the means to pay the entire claim, and he saw no way out of his dilemma but to go in- to bankruptcy, and this he deCided to do. Pride restrained him, however. He had a business reputation second to no one in St. Louis, and, after mature deliberation, he de- cided that he would ask for a chance to pay his full indebtedness. He told his creditors that he eould make more out of his property than if it was disposed of at auction, and he was given an o )portunity to prove his asser- tion. He pan $500,000 down, and resumed business With renewed vigor and energy, and 30-day the full amount, nearly $1,000,000, lost by over confidence in a. friend, has been paid, with the exception of about $50,000, and M r. Filley is abundantly able to pay that. The result shows what indomitable ener , pluck and perseverance can do when use in the right direction. At one o'clock on Monday a window was raised in Beckwith’s apartments. His wife looked up and down the avenue. Two min- utes later Beckwith, who had been concealed for thirty days, opened the door, Owing to a stiffness of his knee foint, 119 is unable to walk fast. Gr‘lden fo lowed him to the gates of the Central Park, and tapped him on the shoulder. “ How do you do, Mr. Beckwith," he said. “ Very well, sir," replisd Bockwith. “ l have a warrant for your unfit for do- frauding." “ Stop, stop ! for God‘s flake.” Beckwith‘s face grew very pale, and he begged to be allowed to go home 9.1111 notify his wife. This Golden refused. He was taken to the Mercer Street police atation.-~ N. Y. Sun. A Struggle to Meet his Obligations. The Troy Timee relates the following of the Hon, C.

" No doubt the splendid army of wedding presents made to wealthy brides is often te- dious and tasteless enough to provoke plen- tiful criticism. But I thinkit must bes very pleasant thingto assist in giving a modest young couple a "setting out ;" especially if they are going directly to housekeeping. There is almost no end of useful resents that might be contributed, for we. 31 know how many things it takes to furnish a. house and to stock a farm. It is pleasant for the married air to earn most of these thin s to- gether, i they have health and a. good usi- noes ; but if they begin poor, and their fam- ily increases, they will tind it hard enough to struggle through the early years of their marrie life, even with manya lift from sym- pathizing friends, I am not pleading that expensive presents should be 'vcn to such beginners, but useful househok articles not too costly for the giver‘s urse, nor too fine for the recipient’s use. kind of conven- tionality often rules in this matter. Certain things are supposed to be suitable for wed- ding presents, and of these the bride some- times gets more than enough. This is all nonsense. Anything is suitable for s. wed- ding prescnt, which can be made of use or give pleasure by its beauty. Tho last man to come on board of the steamer for America, at Liverpool, is the pur- ser, who is invariably late, and comes to the tug heavily laden with newspapers, myster- ious-looking packages, huge envelopes con- tainin the captain’s final instructions from the of co, and other miscellaneous articles. He comes on board with a rush, and dives down below to the captain’s room. In a. few moments the latter appears and goes upon the bridge Where the plot is waitin ; the engineer's telegraph is mauipulatm , the screw commences to revolve, and the vessel slowly moves forward, the tug alongside slowly aheeriu off. All the passengers rush to one side an stare at the tug as if they never again expected to see a. duplicate of it. Soon the steamer leaves the tug far behind, it begins to grow dark, and simultaneously the passengers turn to one another and dis- cuss the probabilities of the voyage and the prospects for an early tea.

Raising the Windâ€"A Good Old Uncle’s Honest Nephew. [From the Chicago Evening Journal.) Our friend, the old Colonel, is continually making investmenta on a small scale, which disap oint him in their results.

He says 2 “0n the shore of the Bay of Quinta, five miles from Picton, Ont., stands a mill with three pairs of millstones, which is run by a, water-wheel six inches in diameter, and of thirty-five homo~ ower. The wheel could be put in a hat, he great. power it has comes from a head of 180 feet. The water is 811 )plied by what is known as ‘ The Lake on the Moun- sin.’ This lake lies less than 9. quarter of a mile from the shore of the bay, and the water is conveyed through aboilerâ€"iron pipe, twen- ty inches in diameter, to the edge of a steep bank, and thence down an almost perpendi- cular descent of 180 feet, to this little wheel.

The one most com- monly accepted is that it fed by an under- ground passage from the upper lakes. View- ed from the bay, this mammoth black water- pi 8 looks like a huge snake stretched out to. ing a sun bath. Altogether this “ Lake' of the Mountain,’ i5 a, mat curiosity, and to its owner, Mr. J.

AND MANDRAHR beLs.-â€"These deservedly mlchrated xnd popular medicines have eflected a revolution in the henlin art, and proved the fallacy of several maxim!) which ave for many young obstnurted ihe progress of medical science. The false supposition that “ Cow sumption is incurable " deterred physicians from at- tempting In find remedies for that disease, and patients afflicted with it reconciledlhemselvefl to death, with- out making an effort to escape from a damn which they supposed to be unavoidable. It is now proved. hO‘VOVCI‘. that Consumption can be cured and that it has been cured in u very great number 0! macs twine ol'them apparently desphrate piles) hy Schexmk’s The hygienic rule for glee is determined by an astronomical lawâ€"t e revolution of the «bath on its axis ; hence, the vexed ques- tion, “ How much sleep do human beings re- quire?" is easily answeredâ€"all that can be had during the night. A )erson in health can never sleep too much ; ior when the ob- ject of sleep is accomplished he will awaken. Those who cannot sleep on retiring at the usual hour, or who drnam during sleep, or who awake before Bleep has had its “sweet restoring ” influence, are in some sense inva- lids ; hence, all the rules for remedying this sleeplessncas should have reference to the causes of mental disturbance. The follow- inf,r remarks, copied from the “ Hygienic Hand-Book," are in point : The details of the recent terrible murder of a Jew in Hamadan (Ekbatana of the an- cients), in Persia, have been received. A wealthy Persian owed a large sum of money to the Rabbi Chajim, who asked the Persian to repay him one day when they chanced to meet in a bazaar. A quarrel ensued, and the crowd which had collected asked the Persian what the cause of the trouble was. He determined to get rid of his creditor, and turning to the crowd, said; “If this man had merely insulted me I should have kept silent, but he has abused our religion and blasphemed the prophets. I cannot, there- fore, be silent." The crowd fell 11 on the Rabbi and threatened to kill him. life took refuge in the neighboring house of a rich Persian, to whom he appealed for protection. The latter concealed the Jew in an inner room and barred the doors of the house. The crowd demanded his surrender. The noble Persian refused, and the doors were broken down. The lawless rabble poured in, round the fugitive, dragged him into the street, and stoned him to death. The dead. body was dragged about the town with jeers and finally brought into the market ilace, where the mouth was filled with pow er and the head was blown to pieces. A fire was then kind- led and the corpse was burnt up. Four Jews, who had fallen into the hands of the mob, were ill treated and severely wounded. The dwellings of the Israelites were plun- dered, and a general massacre of all the Jews wand Christians likewiseâ€"would have fol- lowed had not the authorities intervened The Jews of the city have sent a deputation to Teheran to appeal for retention to the foreign Ministers there, as t ey have no hopes of any aid from the Shah.

REDUCTION OF RATES. “ Invalids generally do not sleep enough. The importance of sound, quiet- an< sutficient sleep cannot be too highly estimated, as may be inferred from the physiological fact that it is during sleep that the structures are re- paired. The materials of nutrition are di- gested and elaborated during the day, but assiinilatioxh â€"the fornmtion of tissueâ€"takes place only during sleep, when the external senses are in repose. Literary persons will require more sleep, other circumstances being equal, than those who pursue manual-labor occupations. If the brain is not duly replen- ished, early decay, dementation or insanity will result. The rule for invalids is to retire early, and remain as long in bed as they can sleep quietly. If their dietetic and other habits are correct, this plan will soon deter- mine the amount of sleep which they require. Gross, indigestible and stimulating food, heavy or late suppers, ete., necessitate a longer time in bed, for the reason that the sleep is less sound. And for the same rea- son nervine and stimulating, beverages, as tea and coffee, prevent sound and refreshing sleep, and thus wear out the brain and ner- vous system prematurely. Those who are inclined to be restless, \‘apory and dreamy. during the night, should not take supper." V ., , u It is because assimilatian is mainly effected during sleep, that infants, whose principal busineas is to grow, require so much more sleep than adults.
