Hamburg Swans.

The city of Hamburg, as every one
probably knows already, has presented
to the city of New York ten swans, and
they have been placed in the Central
Park. The swans of Hamburg are heirs
to a fine estate, and have an income OF
their own sufficient for all swans of good
principles. The legend runs thus ::
A great many years ago an old HAM
burger left curious legacy to this city.
Like Walter, of Vogelweid, VINO left the
bequest to feed daily on his grave the
birds that had their haunts about his alb
hey walls, this old citizen left goodly
estate, the income of which was to be
devoted to the maintenance OF one hun
dred and fifty swans, which were to oc-
cupy one of the largest of the bodies of
water that abound in Hamburg. The
number was never to be less than one
hundred and fifty, and in case it was ex-
ceeded, the provisions of the endowment
were such as to allow the city to make
honorary presents to other municipalities
of the surplus birds, but never, on any
account, to sell them. Acting under
these directions, the swans have been at
tended to, and the Hamburg authorities
have occasionally presented some of them
to European cities, though this is the
first time that an American city has been
so favored The authorities of Hamburg
sent out several months ago to inquire
of the commissioners of the Central Park
whether the gift would be accepted, and
the reply was of course in the affirmative.
II their native city, the swans pass
their time almost necessarily on the wa
ter, very rarely coming to laad. They
sleep on the water, catch fish therein,
and in winter are driven to one corner,
where their constant motion prevents the
surface from freezing. They are perfect
ly tame, and will eat cake and apples
from the hand, to the vast delight OF
Hamburg children and strangers.-Jleh

LOCAL ITEMS.

WASHINGTON ITEMs.-The principal job
now on hand at the Washington Navy Yard
in the machine and boiler shops seems to be
the machinery for the fine new propeller
Pensacola, which is now at Norfolk under
going the process of coppering; when that Is
finished she will be brought up to the Wash
ington navy yard to receive her boilers,
which are nearl y finished.
The mortal remains of Mrs. Holt. consort
of the Postmaster General. were conveyed
on Wednesday from the residence Of her
husband on Capitol Hill to the railroad de-
pot and thence To Il car, en- route tor the fam
lily homestead in Kentucky. The funeral
cortege was accompanied by the President
of the United States and all the members of
the Cabinet who are now in Washington,
viz Secretaries Cass, Floyd, Toucey, and
Thompson.
At the Washington garrison there are now
about eighty marines. Dress parade and
drills are continued on every fine day.
MEETING OF THE CENTRAL UNION CLUB

plause.
A resolution was adopted to hold a grand
Mass Meeting in this City sometime during

count Of other duties.

The War IN China.

The English and French Governments
have irrevocably committed themselves
to war with the Chinese. Prepara-
tons, unprecedented in their extent, have
been made by both Powers, and proba-
bly, more than 10000 men are already
near the mouth Of the Peiho. The Chi
nese, too, not discouraged by former de-
feats, and rendered arrogant by their
success in the conflict at the mouth OF
the Peiho, have made formidable prepa-
rations, and the war bids fair to be long
and destructive one. The part which
the rebels will take in it is uncertain -
They have again defeated the Imperial
Government, but will hardly side with the
foreigners.
The end will probably be the seizure
and retention Of portion OF the Chi
nese territory, as an indemnification fol
the losses of the allied Powers the loss
of many lives by the hazards of war ; ol
more, perhaps, by starvation and its con-
comitant diseases the establishment OF
an o-French Empire in the East
and, we fain wonld hope, the eventual
rapid propagation of the gospel among
the millions Of China.-Eramsner,

generally nine blocks in ward. At the
corner of each is large water gate, through
which oil the water flows. and then it branch.

has necessarily to be nice distribution of

The Great Man.

Would he not be somewhat like this

he had vast power, aud yet used that
power not for himself, but for others; not
for ambition, but for doing good. Surely
the man who used his power for other
people would be the greater.souled man,
would he not ? Let us go on, then. to
find out more of his likeness Would he
be stern, or would he be tender! !! Would
he be patient, or would he be fretful
Would he be man who stands Gercely
on his own rights, or would he be very
careful of other mems rights, and ever
ready to waive his own rights gracefully
and generously? Would he be extreme
to mark what was done amiss against
him, or would he he very patient when
he was wronged himself, though indig-
nant enough if he saw others wronged !!
Would he be one who easily lost his tenn.
per, and lost his head, and could be
thrown off his balance by one foolish
man2 Surely not. He would be man
more than fool, nor all fools put to"
gether could throw him of his balance;

could not lose his self-respect; man
who could bear with those who are pee.

weak and ignorant, forgive those who
are ungrateful, not by punishment bat
by fresh kindness, overcoming evil by his

without, and no il.temper, within, could
shake out of his even path Of generosity
and benevolence Is not that the truly

WHAT IS Pure LiQuoR?-Dr. Cox is crea-
ting qui.s a sensation in reference to the il
uuor trace. 1t is abominable.- e.-Where can
good liquor be had: What is pure liquor?
DR.. Cox recently lecturcd in New York,
and W. T.. Dodge, firm ot Phelps, Dodge &
Co., presided at the meeting. Dodge opened
and said he believed that all crimes commit
ed in the city of New York were the result,
directly, or indirectly, of the use Of intoxica-
ing liquors. He said there were four thou
sand places in the city where liquor was sold,
and at lca>: six thousand persons engaged IN
the sale OF liquors.
Dir Cox stated that he had examined 2.GT9
samples OF liquors. of which he found but $50
that were pure and what they were represen-
ed to he: .1n samples he found TO be simply
mixed liquors. such ~ brandies mixed with
imitation liquors. all the balance were adui.
terated in various ways---sul phuric acid
pruSsic acid, various aromatic condiments,
and in many cases strychnine; ammonium.
and indeed almost every variety of poison t"
be found in the catalogue.
There is no doubt says the New York
correspondent OF the Mobile Register, but
that brandy gin and whiskey are mixed
abroad. This is perfectly frlshttni. The
laws Of France are very severe against the
adulteratiun Of brandy: yet notice several
arr estS for the crime.
