THE PRINCE FREDERICK WILLkka oF PRpssIA IN
TROUBLE AaAIN.--The public will remember that,
about two months since, a person was arrested IN
one OF the Fourth street cars for being drunk and
disorderly, and when arraigned before the Justice
gave his name as Frederick William. Prince Of
Prussia The real name Of this gentleman still re-
mains q mystery, but his exploits are agboId as
the gallant Col. De Risiere. A few days since he
was intrusted with some accounts to epIiest by a
gentleman connected with lifhograpf es.ahiish-
ment, and probably owing 10 the extraordinary
exertions he had to make to raise the money con-
sidered himself only paid by the suna he recef7ed,
and in consequence pocketed the whole amount.
This part Of the transaction, il appears, was nat
entirely satisfactory to his employer, who, nos
being disposed to arrest him, saw III TO mention
the facts. The expose didn't salt Prince Frederick
William. He considered himself insaited. His
royalty had suffered disgrace. What was be to do
TO wipe out theffoul staing WHY, challenges hiss
employer, of course This he did, and ths gsntIe-
man who received the challenge returned aa an
swer in the shape of a warrant, which was served
npoa the Prince by an officer. The Prince was in
dignant but there was no other course for ESm to
pursue but appear before Justice Schroeder, who,
entirely regardless of the nobility Of the prisoner,
bound him over in the sum of $500 TO keep the
peace. The last we saw of the Prinee he was
looking for men who might wish to enjoy the honor
of bailing him. [St. Louis Daily Bulletin.

The BILLIARD DTouRNAaEsT.-The great series Of
games played by the most expert billiard players
Of the United States was continued yesterday ON
Phelan's tables in Fourteenth street. There were
hundreds of professional billiard champions from
all parts of the country present, besides largo
number Of New < ork gentlemen, patronizsra n the
play. The first game was between Messrs. White
and Lynch. The lead was won by nv. White, aud
there were twenty-ninc runs MAIDS before the gsme
of five hundred up won. He had scored three
hundred and fifty-one, however, when his competi-
tor had run up his five hundred. On one ran Mr..
Lynch neared the extraordinary figure Of I62.s The
highest number made by Mr.. White was forty three.
The average of the playing was not very easra-
ordinary. 5sa s5 M
The second game was much more interesting
than the first. TWAS between Mr.. Tefnan and Mr.
Geary Twenty-seven runs were made before il
his second run Teman made 1877, and on his fourth
1856, exceeding anything that has been done since
| the tournament commenced. He then played
carelessy the rest of the game, and succeeded In
beating his opponent easily by 224 points. Geary
made one run Of Go, Whchwas by far the best
specimen of his dexterity which he displayed.
The winners were both applauded but Meman re--
eeived by far the greatest amount of paudiis.
Monsieur Berger, the celebrated French. player,
and Mr. Phelan, the American champion, were both
present. and took lively interest in the progress.

Seleft gpetry.

Whom not having seen we love.
It is easy to love when the eye meets eye,
And the glance reveals the heart,
When the flush on the cheek can the soul bespeal
And the lips in gladness part
There's thrilling Of bliss in the loving kiss,
And spell in q kindly tone,
And the spirit hath chains Of tenderness
To fetter and bind its own.
But holier spell and a deeper joy
From apurer fountain flow.
When the soul sends high its incense fire,
And rests no more below
When the heart goes up to the gate Of heaven,
And bows before the throne,
And striking its harp for sins forgiven,
Calls the Saviour all its own.
Though we gaze not now on the lovely brow.
That felt for the thorn
Though afar from home We pilgrims rsam,
And our feet with toll are worn;
Though we never have pressed the pierced hand
1t is stretched our lives above; -..
And we own His care, in grateful prayer,
"Whom not having seen, We love-"
We have felt him near, for many year,
When at eve we bent the knee,
That mercy breath, that glorious faith,
Dear Saviour came from thee.
When We stood beside the dying bed,
And watched the loved on 60,
In the darkening hour, we felt his power,
As it hushed the waves Of woe.
And still, as we climb the hills Of time,
And the lamps Of earth grow dim,
We are fastening from faith to sight,
We are pressing near to him;
And away from idols Of earthly mould,
Enraptured gaze above,
And long to be where his arms enfoid,
"Whom not having seen, We love-"

sMystea ious Power"
CHRISTIANITY, like child, goes wander
ing over the world. Fearless in its limo.
cence, it is not abashed before princes, nor
confounded before synods. Before it the
blood-stained warrior sheathes his sword,
and plucks the laurel from his brow, and
the midnight murderer turns from his pur-
pose, and like the heart-smitten disiple, goes
and weeps bitterly. It brings liberty to
the captive, joy to the sufferer, freedom to
the slave, repentance and forgivness to the
sinner, hope to the faint-hearted, and assu-
rance to the dying. It enters the hut Of the
poor man, and sits down with him and his
children; it makes them contented in the
midst of privations, and leaves behind an
everlasting blessing. It walks through
cities amid all their splendor, their imagin-
able pride and unuttcrable misery, . puri.
flying, ennobling, and remedying angel. II
ennobles the noble, gives wisdom to the
wise, and new grace to the lovely. The
patriot, the priest, the poet and the elo-
qucnt man. all derive their power from it
influence. Ho,oitt.

The 3sD0blieaa Parsy. fF
The New York Times, in commenting
upon some positions Of radical character
assumed by the Tribune, ssys: .
If the next Presidential canvass is to be
carried on upon such IN issue as the zTi-
6une here presents to the South, the slave
holding States of the Confederacy must
choose At once between disgraceful and
abjsct surrender Of all the attributes Of
sovereignty and independence, and defin-
ite rupture Of the ties which bind them to
the North. They cannot consent even to
open the discussion Of such an issue with
out degradation. Possibly, the Tribune, a.
those who think with it, count upon the
cowardice or the commercial interests Of
the Sou}h, as sure to coerce it into submis-
sion to this invading insolence of Northern
superiority. Possibly also they nsy loek
forward with complacency to the spectacle
of Union no longer ccmented by the re-
ciprocal justice and the unsullied self.res-
pect of its members, but held together by
the vulgar bonds of force and fear. We
believe they will find themselves mistaken
in their calculations. We are sure that no
American who values the honor of his
country. can wish to see these calculations
crowned with success. To ridicule the cry
of disunion merely because it has been ut
tered hunded times, and fold ones hands
in sleek conviction that the South will
suffer anything rather than spurn dishon.
orable dominion, is the extreme of easy
twaddle. If the Republican party is rea-
dy to endorse the 7ri6une's doctrine of an
ti-Slavery action, as thus set forth, the
Union not only is, but ought to be, very
seriously in danger. To suppose it safe, i'm
such case, is to suppose the population Of
the South race of such time-servers and
imbeciles as we are not disposed to believe
the inhabitants Of any American State TO-

INsURANcE.-The following notice Of the
Quaker City Insurance Company may lead
some Of our readers to protect themselves
against loss by fire. Mr.. Odeu {. the Nc.
Gregor Agent Of this Company.
I'VE have occasionally found, it nscessa-
~ to speak In censurs Of the conduct Of
some Of our Insurance companies, in avail
ing themselves of technical advantages in
tho wording Of policies to avoid the pay
ment of losses. As We desire to be just, II
is but proper that, wiere exceptions to this
course present themselves, we should be
equally frank in commencing them. With.
in few days past there came within our
own knowledge the facts of the partial loss
of vessel near New York, insured by the
QuAkER CIrY Insurance Company Of this
City. The owner thought himself entirely
safe, but on examining his policy, found
that It did not oossr Ais elaiasa, it was how
ever made apparent to the officers Of the
Company that the misunderstanding VA
An entirely honest one, and that the master
Of the vessel had used every effort 10 save
the property and ecouomiss expenses. In
consideration of these facts, the Company
in the same good faith, g bad been shown
by owner and master, frankly and prompt
", Is soon as the bills had been adjusted
paid the claim. We take great satsActiou
in mentioning hcts Of this character. and
believe there Is more to be made in the long
run by such conduct, than can be realized
from escapes from loss where the technical
tiles Of policies may iAvor that result, In tA'
face Of the spirit and purpose Of the instsa
mcpt.

Freedom
The Editor of the Milwaukee German
Democratic paper the See Bots has been
having . pretty warm politico-personal
discussion with S. M. Booth, Esq, late Of
the Free Democrat. In late No. of the
Milwaukee Nescs the See Bote editor con.
cludes an article to suit US. It is pity
that some Of our homc-born citizens do not
take the enlightened view Of American
Liberty which this eloquent German does.

marks yet in regard to the great boon, the
freedom, for which you fight the great bat
tie Of the age. Freedom is great word, a
sublime thing, it is daughter of Heaven

for freedom. But we don't want it from
you, don't want it out of the hands of your
faction; we want freedom as it is, true and
unspotted, and not under the guise of old
Brownism, Boothism, negroism and all
other isnss, which compose our national in
sanity-no, we want the freedom Of the
American Constitution!
May the American people never see the
day of that freedom, with which we are
threatened by the fanatical hordes Of aboli-
tionism! With the triumph of that free

ism would have commenced all over the
world. The absolute rulers on their thrones
in the old world, and the enemies of repub-
licanism everywhere, would laugh At the
chimcrical idea of mans capacity for self
government, and would point in triumph to
these sad commentaries, which we have
written with our own hands, on our boasted
fundamental principle. What will the op-
pressed nations Of Europe, with whom so
many of our people profess to sympathize,
answer, when their oppressors will appeal
to such practical workings of liberty and
selfgovernment, IS those in the great mo-
del Republic across the Atlantic? Can any
reasonable man doubt, that these outbreaks
