such Procession set upon, one Of its men,
bers murdered, and many unofending citizens
most brutolly beaten. by the regular appoint
ed consersators Of the peace; and we trust
such a storm Of Indignation will be raised
around their heads by an indignant communiI
! ty that such an one will never occur again.
We have before expressed our disappro-
baton Of the course pursued by the Germans
in choosing Sunday for their demonstration;
and, while, protesting the same contempt end
hatred for a man whose hands are red with
the blood Of murtyred patriots, we will hero
say that we should prefer to let him sneak
through the country unnoticed and unknown,
studiously abstaining from doing anything
which should make him the hero Of the mo-
ment, or deepen prejudices, or create new
ones, or tend to array different classes Of
citizens in religion against each other; or in
any way create excitements which could not
possibly do good and might produce evil.
Thinking and feeling IN this way, we of
course can only look upon the demonstration
as an indiscreet manifestation of contempt
TOR day which so largesa majority Of sur
people consider holy day, but which, had it
been made upon any other day, we should
have considered 4 harmless though foolish
demonstration.
Sixiy-four persona were arrested and taken
to the watch-house, and huddled together in
the cells in such numbers that it was impos-
sible for them to sit or lie down, ahd they
were therefore compelled 10 stand up all night.
In forcing them into cells which were already
too full, unnecessary and brutal violence was
used, and one Of the prisoners was struck on
the head with mace by one Of the police4
men, who was probably, as some cf the other
policemen testified they were, $50 excited
they hardly knew what he was doing"
After they were all secured, they were kept
all night without tine slightest attempt to
make them comfortable. Not window was
opened to give them fresh air; and in the
morning they were nearly suffocated and
begged every one who came near, to give
them some fresh air or they would die. They
had, many Of them, been roughly handled by
the police; the floor was covered with blood
from their wounds, but not the least effort
was made to ease their suffering; and not as
much consideration was shown them as ould
have been shown to brutes by any man who
had spark of humanity in his breast.
This procession, it will be remembered,
was the one which paraded the streets of Gin
cinnati for the purpose Of burning the Pope's
Nuncio Bedini in effigy.

WINTER fairly showed colors on Wedres-
day, and the earth was as white as the robe
Of an old Roman candidate"
On Wednesday evening, nature amused
herself in the manufacture of the most .mag-
nifcent snow-fakes that ever fell out of the
clouds--great feathery takes-white-wing
water full fedged.
There was great cry among the juveniles,
and great rush for the lttleisleds, blue, red
and particolored, and away they darted in ev-
cry direction, bounding againstthe curbstones
and gathering over the frozen ground, each
with its little curled up freight bundled L p in
a wee bit of cloak, or mutfied up to the eyes
in huge "comforter."
Now they "played" they were clipper ships
dashing away before a stiff breeze; and now
that they were racers with pedigree as long
as dukes. In half Minute more they were
railway cars, and away they whisked like ju
venile nor'westers.
1t was pleasant picture to look at, those
young swallows Of humanity, just out from
beneath the caves of home, and dartinc thi.
way and that, thoughtless ard happy-tliss
ful and ignorant.
There goes little chap in little Goa
glorious with bright buttons. Bolt uprigh
on brand new sled, brave with much paint
ing and lettering, he has span Of boys harness
ed thereto, and he handles the twine ribbons
with an air that Iehu couldn't improve upon
This team, individually and collectively, I'M
agine themselves horses; one Frances AM
pitches; the other champs his hampen bit
like second Bucephalus.
1t is wonderful how little children want t
make great deal. A bit of sled, a coupl
of strings, slight sprinkling of snow, a brac
and half of boys, and of these they mad
coaches and fours, omnbusses and cars, an
a full-grcwn man.
Who says the children shan't play! Lit
tie enough they'll have of it by and by, an
happiness will cost great deal more than
does now. There's many man in Wall-sl
and about, that has invested tens Of thousand
for the article, and never obtained sixpenc
worth, willie here fifty cents purchased a
abundance for three, and left surplus f
the lookers-on.-N Y. Tribune.

MISCELL A N Il D u S.
Washington's Farewell to his Army.
HISTORICAL SKETCH.

Washington's Farewell to his Army.
HISTORICAL SKETCH.
The Revolution was over. Eight yeals'
conflict had ceased, and the warriors were
now to separate forever, turning their wea-
pons into p!owshares, and their camps into
work shops. The spectacle, though Il
sublime and glorious one was yet attended
with sorrowiul feelings; for alas! in the re-
mains of that gallant army of patriotic soldiers
now about to dsband without pay, without
support, stalked poverty and disease. The
country had not the means to be grateful.
The "details of the condition of many OF the
officers and soldiers at that period, according
to history and oral tradition, were melancholy
in the extreme. Possessing no means Of
partimonal inheritance to fall back upon
thrown out of even the periious support of
the soldier OF the commencement of winter,
and hardly fit for any other duty than that of
the camp--their situation can better be
imagined than described.
A single instance, as sample the situa-
sions of many Of the officers, as related of the
corduct of Baron Steuben, may not be amss.
When the main body of the army was disban-
ded at Newburg, and the veteran soldiers
x.>re bidding parting farewell to each other,
I;cut. Colonel Cochran, an aged soldier OF
,he New Hampshire line, remarked, with
,ears in his eSes, as he shook hands with the
Baron
: mFor myself, could stand it; but my wife
and daughters are in the garret of thai
wretched tavern; and | have no means of re-
moving them" =.
"Come, COME" said the BaroG, "don't give
way thus. will pay my respects to Mrs
Cochran and her daughters"
=. When the good old soldier left them, theil
.countenances were warm with gratitude
for he left them all he had. In one OF the
Rhode Island regiments were severa
companies of black troops who had served
through the whole war, and their bravery &
q discipline were unsurpassed The Baroi
observed one Of these poor negroeo on thu
wharf at Newburg, apparently in grea
distress.
"What is the matter, brother soldier!"
100 "Why, master Baron, ] want dollar t.
d q get home with, now the Congress has III
further use for me-" ......
D.. The Baron was absent for few moments
and then returned with silver dollar whc
he had borrowed.
90 .There, it's all could get. Take it,"
Y The negro received it with joy, hailed
sloop which was passing down the river t
> New York, and as he reached the deck, too
off his hat and said
u sGoG bless you master Baron!"

Lines Written on New Years Eve.
Another year may bring full many change,
Hopes that are brightest now, may setin glooih
The warmest friends, some trie may estrange'
And long sought joys may find an early tomo'
The bitterest hatred may be turned to love-
Though strong contentious only end in stflie
ont blessed changes ever come, TO prove
The needless fears that trouble us through lile
One wear ago, how bright the future seemed
NV steps were turned towards friendships pures'
shrine
So thornless was the path, never dreamd'
That augh should cross it, save the power oi'ihe'
/ fancied tia; the good was almost won'
So smngly the goddess beckoned on;
But when grasped the sceptre twas undone,
And soon found the power to WELD was gone
Those iondes, dreams have perished untuflled,
Though their awakening cannot break Tie strain
That rises ever, and will not be stiled,
Until the final wakening comes again.
Still, there is enough to cheer me, was there one
Tn guide me in my wild aspirings now,
How might my efforts tell, my race be run,
Great God above, thou knowest, and only thou
The year has just gone by, I've conned 1t WE'LL
Yet throughout all no vain regrets lind;
No idle vows, nor keen reproois to telt,
That claim the least accession to the mind.
Yet most OF al has disappoinmten ruled,---
The brightest prospects have been cast aside;
And vet It's well, the heart should thus be schoold
The dcepes, sense Of bitterness to hide.
No fond outpourngs of the hearts full trust'
On worthless Objects rise to taunt ME nowi
Could, what I've said or written, spring from dust
| could claim all, with an unblemished brow.
Blu: oftentimes, my pathway has been crossd
By scenes that bid such shameful feelings rise,
/ could have scorned, had not pitied most,
Such acts OF base deception in disguise.
