As affording some idea of the extent to
which the merchant princes" of New York
have invested in private mansions it is sta
ted that there are at least dozen houses
in that city which cost from one hundred to
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
rivalling in magni6ceDce almost any of the
royal palaces Of Europe and inferior only
in point of magnitude. The Journal of
Commerce thus speaks Of several Of them:
zone of the most elegant houses is that Of
Charles a. HeckscheF, just completed, on the
corner of Fifth avenue and Thirteen street,
and which is said to have cost in the DeighbJr-
hood of one hundred aud fifty Thousand dollars,
although the building is of moderate difnen-
sions compared with some Others, being thirty
nine by sixty-two feet. besides an extension
If thirty-6ye by twenty -four feet, which forms
the library aud dining-roon u, and viewed e1-
ternaiy its appearance is not remarkably os-
tentatious. The interior finishing and decors-
tions, however are very superb. In the main
entrance there is vestibnle fitted for the re-
ception of ordinary visitors, aud close by the
staircase ascends through an ellipticat opening
towards a stained glass dome Immediately
beneath the latter, on a massive base, is KISS
celebrated bronze figure of the Shepherd al
tackled by Panther, and among other bronze
decorations are duplicates Of msntel ornaments
possessed By Louis Napoleon. The mirrors are
very massive, in curiousy wrought frames; the
ceilings are arched n strong relief, with
groundwork of water colors and the proinln-
ent points tipped with gold. The walls are to
be laid over with satin 10 heavy folds. The
| furniture is in corresponding style of ele-
gance, and consists principally of elaborately
carved oak. A number of articles are veneered
wit. oaken crotches in the most exquisite man
ner, go as TO closely resemble choice varieties
of marble. The library case is almost wholly
of oak. and has lofty arched ceiling, Ventila
ted from the top and surrounded with IassU,
Schiller. Goethe, and other celebrated person
ages. Otber apartments are provided tor vsri
ous amusemenJs, aud all are fJted up with Z
view to secure the greatest possible amount o.
| bodily comfort.
| Probably the most elegant dwelling in the
city is hat of NJ O. Roberts, repu,ed To have
cost in the neighborhnod of two hund ed aud
twenty five thousand dollars.

The account says:
Hearing footsteps upon the stairs about
mid night, and sus'ectiug burglars might be
about the premises, the gentleman rose from

with which In his hand he proceeded to the
door opening into the hall. Reaching the
door, hu applied bis ear to fbe key hole and
heard what he thoaght rustling of garments
upon the stairs. Ha 'tily drawing & chair t.
the door he stepped upoRit and inserted the
gun through the treason. Just then th,

Preparing fer the Future.

=
= We are gratifed to perceive that the
American Party of New York is already
taking steps TO preserve its organization.
This is proper aud patriotic. The principles
Of the American Party are of such char
acter that they must and will, ultimately,
win the regard of majority Of the masses
Of the people, and be perpetuated in the
Z administration of the government 1t can
not be that great, and good, and sagacious
people, will not come to the rescue of their
institutions from the hands of foreigners.
o. In the recent canvass, they were led away
from the grave questions presented by the
American party to the consideration of
issues more sharply defined, and, as they
believed, Of graver present Importance; is
81 Is vitaily affecting the interests and rights
Of one section of the Union, and about which
the majority OF the other section we're half
crazed and blindly fanatical But these
are issues which must soon pass away or be
compromised; whilst the evils of foreign in-
-huence will be augmented and made more
apparent by the very successes which have
placed the allies Of the foreign legion again
in power. A II that the American party
has to do is to keep up its organization, to
watch and wait aud the time will come for
its triumph. In the South, it has sustained
itself nobly, under the pressure that was
made upon it, and though beaten badly, no
disgrace mars the brightness of its escutch-
con. 1t has preserved its integrity and
numbers sufficient to form foundation up
on which to rear most enduring and in
posing structure.
l In all sections of the Union, we trust the
work Of reorganization will be commenced
Immediately. In the North particularly,
for the necessity of a great conservative
party there holding in check the extremes
other parties was never more apparent In
deed, We may say all our hopes for the fu-
ture depend upon the action of the Party,
30 North. Let them 90 on in the good work
which has been commenced in New York,
and the best results will ensuc.

One day during the past week, a bridal par
ty arrived at the Spencer House, Cincinnati
from Bracken county, Kentucky. consisting 81
the bride, bridegroom and the lady aud gen.
tleman who attended upon them dnring The
wedding ceremony. Daring the attern on the
happy party took ride around the cl'y, in
the evening attending The National Theatre,
after which they sought their q carriers aud re-
tired for the night At a very respectable hour.
The rem linder of the story is related by the
Cincinnati Enquirer as tolInws:
1.-The young lady who attended upon the
bride was young sister, who il appears, had
been courted for more than year by the at
tendant upon the bridegroom. He had even
( gone so far as to ask the hand of the sister
from the ady's father, buJ was refused on ac-
count of the extreme youth of the daughter,
she being hut trife upward of sixteen.
Everything went merry as a marriage
bell until the following Aorning ~ nine o.
clock, when tire bride ard bridegroom appear
ed at The breakfast table, where they were
met by the ever-smlirg Pratt, the landlord.
Late as it was, the rest of the party had not
come down, aid the bride requested that they
be sent for. 1t was alone. Tie messenger,
however, soon returned with the intelligence
that neither the lady nor tie gentleman were
in the rooms. This WAS astounding, and the
wonder WIS what had become OF them, al
though it was shrewdly suspected by the
bridegroom what course the twain had taken.
Iuqnlry was made by the gentleman on watc!,,
when the first train of cars left for Louisville
! that morning, whereupon it was ascertained
the lovers had taken that train, and were far
on cir journey To matrimony.
LAST evening about seven o'clock, that part
Of the wedding party left behind received a
dispatch from Louisville which read
'''Dear Sisler-Charles and | could wait no
longer--the knot is ted. KATE
at was rather 40 unexpected sequel, but
Pratt said there did not appear To be Ilany re
grets among aGy of tue party; on the contra
nv, the bride and bridegroom 90 tie first Part,
appeared highly delighted"
