CHRISTMAS PREsENTs.---BOOK FOR
CHILDREN.

From Taylor & Maury, booksellers and sta
TONER'S we have received several specimens of
their numerous volumes intended as Christmas
presents for children. They are beautifully
bound, and contain many interesting stories
adapted both in their style and matter to the
understanding of children. Some are in prose,
some in verse. One is entitled, "At Home
and Abroad, or How to Behave" by Mrs. Man
ners. Another is the illustrated book of songs
for children. These songs are excellent and
full of attractions for young minds. The en-
cravings in this little volume are beautiful
Another, entitled Pleasure and Profit or Les
sons on the Lords prayer" by Mrs. Manners,
abounds in interesting, moral, and religious
stories. The last is, "The Pet bird, and other
stories," by cousin Alice.
Christmas presents are looked for by child
rem with more eagerness than they look for
their daily bread. None are more appropriate,
none certainly so instructive as books These
handsome little volumes are as suitable for the
purpose as any that can be found.

A Singular and Shocking Affair.-On the
last trip Of the steamer Huron from Cincinnati 10
Pttsburg, says the Cincinnati Colombian Of the
wife and three children, apparently in i'll health
and destitute circumstances, got on board for the
purpose Of going to Pittsburg. They had laid out
on the wharf the preceding night being unable to
procure more comfortable lodgings. An effort was
made TO raise money for their relief, but without
effect, and the captain finally took them on board,
and did all he could to relieve them in their dis
tressed condition. Fifteen dollars were raised for
them shortly after the boat left port. They were
deck passengers but everything was done 10 rem
der them comfortable. They all grew worse, and,
before the boat arrived there, the father the
mother, and two ofthe children died. The remains
of the deceased were conveyed to Pittsburg and
taken charge of by the proper authorities and the
only surviving member Of the family a small boy
was placed in the hands Of the overseers of the
poor But the most singular part of this sad story
remains yet to be told. On examining the effects
of Holden, il was found that he had in his posses
sion, at the time of his death, some four hundred
dollars, principally in gold and silver What could
have induced human being thus to sacrifice not
only his own, but the lives of his wife and chill
dren, is more than we understand; yet it was
so, and with abundant means in his hands for their
relief he suffered himself and family to languish
and die for the want of proper care and attention
before taking passage on the boat. Holden. it is
stated, was formerly of Allegheny City. He had
moved to Iowa, and, after remaining there for
some length of time and contracting bad health,
was endeavoring TO return.-N 0. Picayune.

Telegraphic Feats.-The English papers re-
cord the following remarkable teegraphic feats as
instances of the perfection TO which the use of
electricity, as a medium of communication has
attained:
SIN the Sydenham Palace block of marble
was much wanted. The telegraph was set TO
work, and message sent to Cairo, asking if they
had block that would be suitable. Almost d.
rectly an answer was returned that block was
then lying at the quarry at Cairo, and ship was
lying in the harbor about to sail for England. Ims
medately another message was sent back, order
ing the marble and it came 10 England by that
very ship The other instance was quite as
curious. When the Queen went 10 Ireland, il
was arragned she should launch at Tamworth,
but il was discovered there was no plate at hand.
They wanted TO borrow il from Sir Robert Peel at
Drayton Manor, but Sir Robert had got to Swift
zerland Then came the question, whether they
should send to Birmingham and get some plate
there, or send word to Geneva by the electric
telegraph. They did the latter, and almost i'm
mediately message came back from Sir Robert
Peel, placing Drayton Manor and all its contents
at the service of the Queen"
Washington sentinel., 1853-12-16

A correspondent of the Trieste Zeitung thus
describes the recruits for the Turkish army that
recently arrived in Constantinope from the prov
inces:
The new arrivals are strong, tall coarse,
heavy, bearded fellows, with red caps uhe fez) On
the tops of which are green turbans; neck and
breast are uncovered and over the ragged shirt is
light jacket in just as bad state of preserva-
tion The wide unmentonablcs reach but 10 the
knee, the legs are bare, and their extremties are
stuck into large shoes of red leather which, owing
to long service permit the toes TO take the air at
will. The cotton grdles which confine the waists
of these patriotic youths contain pair of pistols,
and above the hips is generally fastened bit of
string, TO which is attached a scabbard containing
a sabre much the worse for rust. Notwithstand-
their 'seedy appearance, these men stalk through
the muddy streets with as much dignity as if they
were going on mission to which they were
specially appointed by fate"
Texas Vegetables.-Under the head OF " Nam.
moth Vegetables" the Bastrop Adreniser speaks
of the tremendous cabbage mentioned by the Sc
guin Mercury, as having twenty-five heads and
covering an area of eight feet in diameter. As an
Offset, the Advertiser mentions sweet potato pre-
sented to the editor, by John Johnson, which sup
piled boarding house with plenty OF "slced
later" for five days, but unfortunately on the night
Of the sixth day cow got into the yard where
that potato was kept, and became so surfeted ON
