In EIosuent Tribute to Washington

An EIOauent Tribute 20 Washington
Irving.
Alta recent meeting in New York, called
for the purpose of proposing measures for
the erection of statue to Washington lrv-
ing, Prof G. w. Green employed these ell
oquent words;
In some green recess where the light falls
softened, and the voice of waters is heard
and the birds love to build and sing, we may
meet once more the familiar form of our
Irving, with the simple bearing and uncon-
scious dignity with which he walked among
u.s. The student, fresh from the pages Of the
Sketch Book, or the Columbus, or the Wash
ington, will feel his pulses quicken as he gazes
upon IL, and strives to read in the speaking
lineaments the traces Of the spirit that was
once united with them. And children, as
they fill the air with the merry sounds that
he loved, shall often pause in the midst OF
their sports, won by the pensive sweetness OF
that benignant smile, and lay down at ms
feet the flowers which they had gathered for
mothers and sisters at home There, on some
rocky hight, shall the commanding figure OF
our Cooper be seen, looking forth in the stern
consciousness Of power upon the islands and
the waters which he has invested with the
magic associations of inventive genius. There
shall a place be found tor him who, though
/ snatched away in the first developments oil
his strength, built on the banks Of the Hudson
bower for the fairies which Shakespeare
would not have rejected for the "Oberon"
and "Titania." And there, too, shall the
| New York boy, who, unaided but by the
strong will which nature had implanted in
his breast, unsustained but by the abiding
trust that God would not withdraw his hand
from the genius which he had bestowed, went
bravely forth to contend with the great
masters of art in her chosen temple, find al
last, in the city of his birth, and under the
skies which shed their choicest influences
upon his expanding soul, q shrine from which
he too can join the choral symphony which
the heroes of thought have repeated from
generation to generation through the long
lapse of ages How mysterious is the gift o.
genius. How rich the rewards of a life de-
voted to the service of the Good, the Beau
tiful, and the True.

Rn,,pess Facilities.

Through the medium of the DAILY PRESS
business men can place their commodities,
inducements, and desires before more than
forty thousand readers in day. Employers
in want of workmen, worlmen out Of en-
ploy, housekeepers wanting help, girls want
ing places, boarders, dodgers, and all other
wants can be spread before thousands of the
classes which it is desired to reach, at the
cost of twenty-five cents for an advertisement
in this paper. 1t is only necessary to allude
to the superior advantages of the DAILY
Press to advertisers. A complete news
paper in all departments, its size, arrange
ment and clear, handsome print display all
its advertisements before the eye of the
reader, and, with circulation second to
none in this city, its superiority as an ad-
vertising medium must be apparent to all,
and its large proportion of fresh advertise
ments make that department an interesting
one to all readers.

Discovery ofa Robbers Cave In Illinois.
A correspondent writes to the Chicago
Press and Tribune that a robbers cave had
been discovered at Watogo, about four miles
distant from Oneida, ILL.,, and says;
The cave is about nine feet long, seven
wide, and five feet high. On two sides were
ranged common, rough pine benches, used
for seats, il is supposed. 1t contains very
large bookcase nearly filed with valuable
books, among which may be mentioned Glib
bon's History Of the Roman Empire, six vol
umes; Macaulay's History Of England, four
volumes, and quarto Bible. There was
quite number of burglars tools in the cave,
and also very curiously, and ] might say in
geniously, constructed pair of boots. Their
curiosity consisted in the heels being where
the toes should be. They were undoubtedly
placed so in order TO battle those who might
wish TO track them, tried the boots on my
feet they sat rather awkward at first, but
after going little way in them, exper-
fenced no difficulty in walking with them.
There were other stolen articles in the cave
TO the value of from $l70 to 5000, some Of
which have been recognized as having been
stolen some months since.

The Isrdelite of this week reiterates the
statement of the Hebrew Rabbi that Catholic
Priests in this city have refused absolution
to girls living in Hebrew families; but exon
crates the Irish Catholic Priests, and confines
the charge to the Germans. According to
this there seems to be a special dispensation
for the Irish, which is not extended to the
Teutons. An Irish girl can live with the
"Christ-killers the Israehte says the
Hebrews are called by these priests-and re-
ceive passport for Heaven, while for the
same act a German girl will find the gate OF
st. Peter shut in her face. The rich Irish
brogue, it seems, will hide multitude of sins
in the next as we'll as in this world.

WE did Mr.. Walker of the Council injus-
tice in paragraph in Wednesdays Press,
for which we take pleasure to make amends.
We had no right to criticise his public career
in advance and by anticipation. Although
never warm admirer of Mr.. Walkers par
liamentary manner-a matter merely Of
taste-we have always esteemed him an
earnest man, with fondness for public bust
ness, Jealous in its discharge, and unusually
energetic in whatever he undertakes. We
have, therefore, no wish that his term o.
service shall be otherwise than honorable tc

A FAIR Artistic POSSESSED OF TRUE AMERI-
CAN SPIRIT.-There is young lady in New
York, Miss Kate Comstock, who has just
concluded her musical education, after six
years study with Baseni, who seems to be
possessed of the genuine and patriotic pride
of true American woman. She is said to
be a young lady of remarkable talent and q
great musical genius, and her friends advised
her to assume some Italian name before she
makes her appearance upon the lyric stage.
To. this proposition she Indignantly replied;
to rely upon humbug and falsehood for sue
cess. am prouder of being an American
girl than ! should be of being an Italian
Princess, or any other kind of a Princess,
and never viii consent to use any other
name than my own, nor resort to any
tricks or means of success to which my own
merits do not fairly entitle me-"

seized and sent into British port to
prove herself an honest trader. African COM
merce is essentially closed to the United
States, the country which has the enterprise
to develop it most. GreatBritain practically
holds the seals of African commerce; the
slave trade is perpetuated by system which
prevents the development of industry at
home, and forces surplus men to a foreign
market, and the horrors Of the middle passage
have been inflicted on the poor African vic
Tins. These are the results Of our philan-
thropy so far; is there any encouragement
to expand the system further2 And could it
be worse if the African fleets were withdrawn,
and Africa left to work out its own salvation
