The opinion has, in all ages and countries
been pretty much divided on the very impor-
tant question as to which animal is the best
friend OF man,. Button maintains that the
horse is; Esop, the monkey, and Lafontaine
is decidedly Of opinion that Il is the dolphin.
Lately, however, new authority has made its
appearance, which establishes that it is the cat
This new authority is no more nor less than the
Zouayes.- 1t seems that each Of these gallant
soldiers carries on his knapsack one of these
animals. The cats remain on that post during
the whole battle. They are neither disturbed by
the movement Of the zouaye in charging his
gun, nor by the noise of the artillery or musketry
When the fight is over, they leave their place
and follow the soldier as IL they were dogs.
We have seen an engraving representing a
Zouave loading his gun with cat on his back,
quietly seated, and looking on the Geld of bat
tie with all the tranquility Of philosopher.
The virtues of the cat are not the smallest dis.
coveries the world will derive from the war Of
the Crimea.

ASTOUNDING MAIL RoBBERY.--We have al
ready mentioned that man named Stone had
been arrested at Elmira, N. Y, on the charge
Of robbing the mail. 1t appears, an old man
named Gates had the contract to convey the
mail to and from the cars, and that he allowed
his son, wild and frolicsome youth, to handle
the bags. This youth, it is alleged, conspired
with Stone, who was-employed in livery sta
BILE, and perpetratcd series of robberies for a
year past, throwing the rihed bags into priyy.
The New York San says:
Stone, it appears, thought he had made
money enough in tnis WY, came to New York,
engaged partner, and was going into bust
ness with very fine cash capital. He made
Gates, his drinking accomplice, promise, when
he left, TO rob no more mails, but Gates, get
ting short, undertook @bag" on his own hook
one night, and either being drunk or inter
ruped, left letters scattered about the privy,
which, being found by children next day, were
reported to the postmaster. The priyy was
searched, and from its vaults were fshed up
sixteen mail bags and any quantity of letters.
In one bag was found $4,000 draft, In an
other, $4,000 in money overlooked. Gates got
but $4,000 in the bag he robbed, and left some
$1,000 in it. Gates confessed all. Stone de-
MES everything.

been forced to warlike action. The double

IL Sick Headache Remedy.--A remedy for
the sick headache, which has heen recently offered
the public is attracting great attention. moi only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by it, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af
ficted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who discovered the efficacy of his "rem-
edy," is physician in this city in high standing,
with large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been 50 long needed has attractedthe attention
of all sufferers from headache who have heard Of it.
From our own knowledge Of DIR. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icne deserves the favor il receives, and that il will
prove to be great benefit TO all who may give il
a trial-Lysrn Negs, December 90, 1853.

THE GARDINER ESTATE.

Several weeks ago we published brief OF
the argument before the circuit court, in a
case of appeal from the orphans court which
had granted letters Of administration on the
personal estate of the late Dr. G. A. Gardiner
to Mr.. Casey, the United States treasurer, on
the ground that the General Government was
the larger creditor; Messrs. Bradley and Car
isle having applied, at the same time, for let
tiers in their own right, they also being credi-
tors of the estate.
Yesterday morning, the circuit court affirmed
the decision of the court below.
We learn that Messrs. Bradley and Carlisle
have appealed from this judgment to the SUI
preme Court of the United States.

CHRISTMAS.

BEFORE the issue of another number OF our
paper, that season loved alike by the ad anu
the Young, the bond and the free, the rich and
the poor-Christmas- will have come and gone.
Each nation has its great national occasion
which is celebrated by military displays, mar
tial music, and the roar of artillery But Christ
mas is higher than national days, 1t is the
great epoch of Christianity and is held by all
Christian nations as high festival. The de-
liyerers of nations were born on other days
that are marked and honored, but Christmas Is
the birthday of the Redeemer of mankind, ana
it is meet that it should be kept in perpetual
remembrance and receive an appropriate OBJ
servance.
To the young it is mystery and fascina-
ton. The bounties Of parents and the gifts OF
friends are conveyed by so covert a kindness
as to inspire the harmless delusion that super
natural agent, as generous and genial as ne IS
invisible, has come from his frosty and TAR
off home to lavish his choicest gifts upon
them.
The old can never altogether divest them
selves of the innocent approximations with
which their childhood invested Christmas, but
each return of that day finds their susceptl-
bities less lively and their hlarity less hearty.
Yet, to all, it is more than common day.
1t is great feast day. 1t is the occasion OF
reunions between separated friends, and scat
tered families. The richest wines and the
choicest meats are preserved to do honor to
that day. 1t is too, the season of gifts and
social kindnesses. 1t is the halcyon day OF
the wear when mirth claims exemption from
ordinary restraints, and conviviality is allowed
an unusual indulgence.
But whilst the rich man sips his cobwebbed
wine and feasts on the daintiest food, whilst
his happy children are almost sick from the
surfeit of good things; whilst there is music
and mirth in his mansion, let him remember
that there are around and beside him the poor,
the sick, and the suffering, who are pinched
by want and shivering with cold. Let him
spare a little from his abundance for their re-
lief Such charity will give zest to Christ
mas. His wine will be better, his food sweeter
and his heart happier.
To all we wish merry Christmas. May
happiness, at least for one. day, hll both hu.
and palace

ANOTHER GREAT PEOPLE In THE
FIELD.

A Greek gentleman, jealous Of having his
share in the tribute Of praises rendered to the
Russians by the people Of America, sends us a
paper speaking Of the Greek battalion Of Bala-
klava, and desires us to say a few words about
it. We comply with his request with so much
the more readiness because be and his country
men seem to have strong desire Of being as
sociated with the impression produced in this
country by the admirable conduct and glorious
deeds of the great Russian people since the be-
ginning of the war. Be it so, and may the
Greek people be soon called, also, great
people.
AT the time Of her war against the in6del
Turks, Russia, not trusting as much in her
forces as she does now, made an appeal 10 the
Greeks, to engage them in her interests. The
Greeks, then oppressed by the Turks, fed to
her assistance; when this war was ended, they
continued to help Russia in her conquest Of
Crmea. In order to reward their services, the
Gar granted them the city and territory Of
Balaklava, with the right Of establishing q
colony there. At the same time they were or
ganized in three legions, which received the
name Of Sparta, Macedonia, and Epira, in re-
membrane Of their motherland. This fat
tered the pride of the Greek soldiers, and con-
tributed TO attach them the moro TO the cause
Of Russia. ~ - a,.ts

GA STATUE of surprising merit. Its power and
pathos are independent of time, place, and condi-
ton. The charm and power of The statue con.
sists in the amazing truth with which the two
great elements of humanity and mortality are de-
lineated. The artist gives all the paihos and
the tragedy of death without its ghastliness and
horror. We feel ourselves in the presence Of that
awful Power before whose icy sceptre all mortal
distinctions are levelled. Nostatue was ever more
marked by simplicity. Nothing has been done
for effect No vulgar applause is courted, ant
the decency and dignity of truth are scrupulously
observed. "-HiAiards Sir Months in Haly

is such that il does not strike at first; the admira
ton comes afterward and in a tide sufficiently

Of faintness, of death"-Mrs. EHis.
This statue is indissolubly associated with
Byron's immortal stanza:
see before me the Gladiator lie
He leans upon his hand-his manly brow
Consents TO death, but conquers agony,
And his droop'd head sinks gradually low
And through his side the last drops, ebbing
slow *
From the red cash, fall heavy, one by one
Like the first of a thunder shower; and now
The arena swims around him-he is gone,
Ere ceased the inhuman shout which hail'd the
wretch who won.
He heard il, but he needed not-his eyes
Were with his heart and that was far away;
He reck'd not Of the life he lost nor prize,
But where his rude hut by the Danube lay
There were his young barbarians all at play,
There was their Dacian mother-he their sire,
Butchers TO make Roman holiday
All this rush'd with his blood. Shall he expire,
And unavenged Arise ye Goths, and glui
