HOME AND FRIENDS.

BY CHARLES SWAIN.
Oh, there's power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it!
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found US;
For life hath here no charms so dear
As Home and Friends around us
We oft destroy the present Joy
For :u.uEs hcpes-end praise them,
Whilst flowers as sweet bloom at our feet
If we'd but stoop to raise them.
For things afar still sweeter are
When youths bright spell has bound us
But soon we're taught that earth has naueh,
Like Home and Friends around us!
The friends that speed in times of need,
When Hopes last reed is shaken,
To show us still that come what will,
We are not quite forsaken;
Though all were blight If but the light
From Friendships altar crowned US,
'Twould prove the bliss OF earth was this
Our Home and Friends around us

TWO DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

By the arrival Of the packet ship Quebec
Capt. Hebard, at New York, we have received
London dates TO the 18th December.
THE STEAMSHIP GREAT BRIrAIN. The first
attempt to float this gigantic vessel through the
locks at Bristol was unsuccessful, but, an addi-
tonal portion of the masonry having been re-
moved, she was got through the next day, and,
being taken in tow by three steam tugs, pro-
ceeded TO King road, where she arrived in two
hours and eight minutes, without accident of
any kind. Her own steam was then got up
for trial of speed down the Channel
The Great Britain is 322 feet in length, and
80 feet inches in extreme breadth, registering
$500 tons. She has four decks, the lowest Of
iron, for the reception of cargo. The upper
deck is flush from stem to stern, aud sos feet
long. She has three boilers, containing 200
tons of water, and heated by "a fires. the four
engines are $50 horse power each. Fifteen
hundred tons of iron have been used in the
construction Of the ship and her engines. Her
propeller (of the Archimedian screw PATTERN is
fifteen feet and half in diameter, worked by
plate-iron chain in four tiers, passing round all
iron drum of Is feet diameter Ftty-four re-
volutions per minute can be made.
correspondent of the London Times says
that the Archbishop of Canterbury has an
nounced hs intention to summon a meeting of
the Bench Of Bishops, in consequence Of the
unhappy agitation pervading the Church Of
England in order to determine upon the OBJ
serVance of the rubrics.
A Court of Common Council was held in
London on the 18th of December, chiefly to
consider petition for aid in the endowment or
a free Church in st Giles in the Fields. The
grant was opposed on the ground that the new
Church was got up under Puseyite auspices,
and defeated, only five voting in its favor when
about hundred and fifty were present.
The Rothschilds Recommended Our last

that city, whose members are known for their
deep aversion to every innovation, and to pro-
gress in general, have pronounced sentence
of accommodation against all the lsraeltes
who should participate, either as collectors or
donors, in the subscription now open in Europe
for the purpose of encouraging agriculture
among the Jews of Asia, and establishing at
Jerusalem, for the INDECENT Of those same Jews,
an extensive hospital and schools for adults and
children of both sexes. Among tho persons

Correspondence of the American Republican

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. l6, 1916.
The election of Reverdy Johnson, ESQ.,, tc
the Senate of the United States has given
great satisfaction here. The friends of the
other candidates, and even his political oppo.
nents, express the conviction that he will dc
honor to the state as one of its representatives
In consequence of a pamphlet, intended to
iniure Mr.. Johnson, having been laid on the
desks of members, (but from what source is
unknown,) his friends determined to 90 into
the nomination at once. Accordingly an in
formal meeting of the whg members of the
legislature took place on Wednesday night,
when Reverdy Johnson received SO votes; w.
c. Johnson IS; William Price l.; J. G. Chap
man a; John p. Kennedy a; and Mr.. Weth-
cred /. Numbers of r. Johnson's friends,
(including members of both houses, immed-
ately waited upon HIM to offer their congratu-
latons-and so large was the crowd, that an
adjournment to the large room of Messrs.
Swan & lglehart took place. Here VIM.
Price, ESQ.,, appeared and congratulated Mr.
Johnson. The latter received him with the
grasp of true friendship; referred to their long
and intimate acquaintance, &c., to which Mr.
Price made most happy and gratifying reply,
which will not do him the injustice to at
tempt to repeat. A number of Mr.. Us politi-
cal opponents also called, shook him cordially
by the hand, drank to his health; and express
ed themselves well satisfied with his election
as, apart from politics, he was their choice
Many things took place which would be worth
recording, but have not time. will only
further remark, that the American Republican
cause loses nothing by the election of Reverdy
Johnson to the Senate of the United States.

To the Editor of the Standard
EXETER, Dec. 10, 1874.
SIr-The excitement occasioned by the BIZ
shop of Exeter's letter is increasing every day.
Four parishes have already demonstrated, aud
SIX more, with an Episcopal chapel, have given
notice of meetings. Nor is the matter likely to
end with parochal meetings. 1t is probable
that there will be one of the inhabitants gene
rally, if not of the county There is also great
sensation at Plymouth. The question is taken
up in the most determined manner by the best
churchmen, under a firm conviction, that f.
nal stand must now be made, or the Church, as
temporal establishment is gone.
The adoption Of the surplice in the pulpit,
connected as it stands with other proceedings
ola Romish tendency, can, at the present mo-
ment, be regarded in no other light than as an
abandonment ofthe principles of the Reforma-
ton The surplice, when substituted for the
black gown, is termed by some "the white flag
of Popery," by others, "the mark of the beast"

SINGULAR VERDICT. On Saturday last, a
quarrel and fight took place between Selby OF
well and George Short, residing at Dagsboro'
Delaware, when the latter died in five minutes
after the rencontre, from kicks received in the
abdomen from his adversary. A jury were
soon empanneled, who, strange to say, brought
in this extraordinary and unexpected verdict

PHILADELPHIA RAIL ROAD. The Philadel-

their annual meeting at Wilmington. We have
not their report, but find the following succnct
statement Of their affairs in a memorial adj
dressed to the Legislature of Delaware:
''The revenue of this company, including
that of the Newcastle and Frenchtown Com
pany, for the year lS43 was $3.50, 434.97; and
their expenses for the same year were $685.

The Hours of Labor.

To The Editor Of The Tribune:
can't why class of that get their living
By the abors of their hands and the sweat of their
brows should be shown favors that not enjoyed by
others who earn their bread by the means. For
instance, in the factory where am employed the Car
penters employed in making repairs, &C. are permitted
to work less than hours the day while poor el
lows whose labor is hard, and also very injurious TO
health have 20 tug and toll the full hours do moi
wish array class OF men against another-neither
do wish to reduce the number of labo-ins hours
but do wish that approach to justice could be
made
People ought to consider that Carpenter wages aver
age per cent than and also that their work
IS, comparatively, light and easy. PATRICK.
y We can't see what Patrick is srumbling al.
il he is paid his full wages and has to work no more
than the ten hours. Others get off with less than
ten hours, perhaps the employer might complain but
not he. Ii the bare contemplation OF other mems
good fortune makes him envious, he is Loco-Foco,

The Albany Evening Journal directs our at,cn-
tion 10 an opinion Of the Secretary OF State and AT.
,ornev General with respect 10 the several ballots 10
be voted al the Election tomorrow. They say that
the names of all the candidates voted for must be on
ono ballot. endorsed State, and that the votes for
or against either or both of the proposed Amend
mcnts to our present Constitution must be printed as
we have already set forth and endorsed Constitu-
ton as we have already stated On Convention,
the ballot for calling State Convention must read
simply Convention; that against 1t must read No
Convention So far all is right, and as the votes
have been printed I'VE p-esume by all parties. But
the eminent functonarics go on 10 perpetrate this
ineffable stupidity:
"The Convention Lap does direct the ballot 10 be en-
aorseG-an endorsement might leGdto confusion and POS
siJiy ri,iH'c the ballot
We venture TO say that nobody but lawyer
could have given such an opinion as this and we
don't know any other lawyers beside Honorables
n $ Benton and John Van Buren who would have
done it. They might just as well have said, The
Convention Law says nothing about Offering ballots
with the right hand; SO offering them might lead
ito confusion, and possibly vitiatc the ballot Every
ballot voted should have an endorsement OF some
kind; it is the only way TO ar0id confusion and can
never lead to it. The endorsement is no part OF the
ballot, as every nan knows but mere direction to
the Inspectors to place it in particular box. II
ballots are TO be voted srihou: endorsement, there
will be 70 end TO the confusion and opportunities
for fraud The Whiy Convention ballots have all
been printed with the endorsement Convention on
the back as directed by our District Attorney; and
we entreat every citizen to be and vote Con-
vcntion' or No Convention as he thinks proper,
with the endorsement Convention What hocus-
pocus may be played elsewhere to prevent or de-
feat fair expression OF the Public WILL we cannot
say; but in this City every such ballot will be
counted and returned in accordance with the in
tent and meaning the voter. Friends OF Reform
be sure to ask every man who votes to put in bal
lot for Convention
