then forgotten his promise-at the risk of
his life he had ventrred upen the blocks of
ice that now blocked up the arm of the
river between him and the nunnery that he
thought contained his betrothed bride: the
maiden, trembling with hope and dread,
how eagerly did she watch his steps; safely
he reached the little islet that stood between
the rivers banb and the island of Nonnen-
werder-the passage was now half effected,
and Rudolf was proceeding higher up to
cross at spot nearer to the convent, when
his mistress, foreseeing that thus they would
both inevitably be lost, and forgetful of all
precaution, rushed from her hiding place
and called to the astonished lover; but her
motions were observed by more than him
whom they were intended to guide; party
of those who searched for her, rushed for.
ward, and almost before she was conscious
of her imprudence, she was made prison
er before Rudolf s eyes. With the impetu-
osity of youth, Rudolf rushed forth upon
the trembling blocks to save his shreking
mistress; but it was not by haste that such
a dangerous barrier was to be crcssed-he
never reached the island!
Christine, after her eyes had b.held the
fate of her ver,-perishing in the attempt
to save her, was led back unresisting, to the
convent. Her grief was too deep for utter
ance-nor did she speak again; the sun that
was to have shone upon new-made nun,
looked down upon her corpse it was but
week after that night on which Christine
had fingered by the chapel door, half re-
pentant of her desperate design, that the
stately abbess, and many sorrowing nun,
chanted her requiem

WASHINGTON:
MONDAY, MARCH %, 1853.
Our Local Reporters.

Under the "local head will be found
something in relation to the Police Depart
ment. The merits of the points disputed
we know nothing about; and as to the mo-
tives that prompted our Local Reporter to
give his version of certain matters connected
with the Police Department of the Fifth
District, we shall let him speak for himself.
We have frequently taken occasion to
take up the cause of that important depart
ment of overwhelmingly, the reporting
of the general news, and passing events of
the day. The class of men who undertake
the arduous and responsible duties connect
ed with this profession, are the best abused
men in the world. Crime would run rife,
were it not through fear of the press, and
the press would be mock engine of public
utility, were it not for the '.genus irritable"
the Reporters-the true habberdashers of
pronouns and semicolons, who, in writing,
"currente calan,o," are not very apt, some
times, to mind their @ stops"
1t affords them no particular pleasure to
give 'local habitation and name" to a
bad abuse, and they are class of men that
are "some pumpkins" in every community.
They slave and toll and Struggle to hammer
up the daily dish for the readers of the jour
nails, and often when driven to it, have to
pick an item out of a big paving stone, or
if necessary manufacture an accident out Of
runaway team, attached to some unique
vehicle, or pair Of wicked bullocks, tina,
they imagine had hunted an old lady in pet
ticoats, who makes providential escape,
into some boot store, and whose life has
been saved, by the polite and attentive
owner-who, of course, is made out as en-
inently worthy of public patronage. This
would be called good mode of manufac-
turing "puff," but it requires good tact,
and talents. When they men
ton names in Police Reports, or other re-
porting matters, they generally tell the truth
and find no particular pleasure in promul-
eating wicked falsehoods. Let our Report
er, however, speak for himself.

For the Evening Star.1


Among the many topics of conversation
respecting matters of interest to the city
which met with the favor of Congress, the
sum of twenty thousand dollars appropri-
ated in aid of the Infrmary has occupied no
title share of congratulation, particularly
among the immediate friends of the medi-
cal gentlemen who were 80 indefatigable in
their efforts to secure the passage of the
appropriation, maugre the cold water ap-
plications of the Corporate authorities to
defeat it. The success of the " Medicals -
and the discontinue of the "Corporates'' is
nevertheless not altogether without its bit
ter, for the latter have lost no little infu-
ence heretofore enjoyed, for til general be-
lief in the old game Of speculation in ground
has become more and more extended. 1t is
astonishing that those who in their zeal
nold special meetings of the Board to gov
ern AID direct city affairs, generally, do
not know that Corporations are not posses
sed altogether of absolute powers: and yet
these short-sighted, would be managers are
eternally making that blunder; however,
having had another favorite scheme frus-
trated in open day, as we'll as in murky
night, one would suppose SO signal dis
comhture will not be lost; on the contrary,
it will prove powerful and lasting check
Great good has been accomplished for the
benefit of citizens residing on Pennsylvania
avenue and C and D streets, contiguous to
the water course between 9th and 10th sts.,
by divesting great body of the water from
the Patent Office square, south, into the
government sewer constructed last year in
9th street, q structure some four feet wide.
The authorities of the city, as a matter of
economy are extending the same north, to
New York avenue, at about half the size :;
so far so good but every visiter to the 9th
street church cannot but notice that the di-
agonal small sewers, running into the large
one, instead Of being at least Is inches, or
two feet diameter, are but one foot 1t is
useless to talk about four or five of that
size taking off the body of water, and roll
ing stones and trash brought down by every
heavy rain; the hole of such small sewers
will choke; and we're they kept entirely
free the immense stream, two feet deep,
and as many wide could not find passage,
unless, indeed, our authorities have discoy-
cred the art of making pint bottle hold q
quart, and that, therefore sewer of one
foot dimension would carry off stream OF
two feet; but such is Corporation economy
in small matters. And yet it is due to our
authorities to acknowledge that substantial
economy was observed in securing this
great sewer to the Third and Fourth Wards.

The New York appointments.

=
The long controversy between the rival
sections of the Democracy of New York, in
relation to the appointments in the Grand
Emporium, and the consequent settlement
of some ''knotty points," calculated to har-
monte the "rebellious elements" and to set
tie the recent disputes that have almost
split up the party-is now disposed Of We
belong to no party as an organ-but the
dep interest felt generally throughout this
community; as well as in New York city,
in relation to these appointments, induce
us to offer few remarks as to the nomina-
tons. Augustus Schell, esq, the selection
of gentlemen of his high reputation, and
personal character, for the important post of
Collector of the port of New York-we have
reason to know that it will give general
satisfaction. We are no party man in this
journal, but the President in his nomina-
ton of Mr. Schel has had occasion to exer.
else his we'll known powers of discrimination
in looking through fog which is more
difficult task to man like the President than
taking a redoubt OF laying seige upon an
enemy.
Mr. Schell belongs to that school of the
Democracy of the Cass stamp. He never
changed his political course, or connected
himself with any of the mischievous "isms"
or recognized any the entanglements that
were calculated to create dissension. He
is gentleman of high talents in the law
profession. Mr.. Sheppard is also of the
same stamp. The nominations altogether
are excellent, as regards the high standing
and personal character of the gentlemen Sc
lected.
S.-Since writip G the above, in advance
upon the most reliable authority, we learn
that the New York appointments, will not
be made, or rather confirmed, until to- NOR
row.
