SECOND LECTURE OF MASON JONES'.
Mason Jones delivered his second lecture at
the Academy Of Music, before the Library
Association, on Saturday evening. The
night was inclement and the attendance not
as large as we anticipated. The lower part
of the house was well filed, however. His
subject was "Curran and the Orators and
Wits of the Irish Bar" The lecture was BIZ
ographie in its nature and enlivened with
numerous anecdotes of Curran and his cotem
pOraries. The lecturer, in common with all
Irishmen, entertains an intense admiration
for the eminent barrister, and has doubtless
studied thoroughly his qualities of head and
heart. Towards the close of his lecture he
paid a warm and feeling tribute to Robert
Emmett, who was intimately connected with
the family of Curran, being bstrothed to his
daughter.
He took occasion, in the course of the lee
turs, to alIude to the struggle now going on
in this country between the Government and
the shareholders rebellion, in terms of burn
ing ~eloquence and rejoiced that the only stain
that had ever rested upon the American flag
for despOts to point at in d~erisiOn, was soon
to be effaced.
The lecture was very interesting and as a
whole gave satisfaction to the audience.

BURGLARY ON RIVER STREET.-THE BUR-
GLARS CAUGHT BY THE POLICE.-0n Friday
night the grocery store Of Herman B~eckmAn,
in the Detmer Block, River street, was en-
tered by burglars. They got in by prying
of the iron shutter Of a rear window. They
took about ten dollars in scrip from the mon
ey drawer but stole nothing else Of value.
Upon the burglary being made knewn to the
police, Marshal Gallagher set abont to ferret
out the burglars, in which he was successful,
aided by a portion of his force. The police
on Saturday afternoon arrested two colored
men, named join johnson, alias "Indi-
ana, " and James Vorce, alias " Timber
jim. Some scrip was found in their pos
session, one shinplaster (ROchestsr) being
identified by Mr.. Beckman. The ar
rests are important, as it is pOssible that they
are the men who have ~perpetrated the nu-
merous burgIaries that have occurred of
late.

BosTcN, 10th.
There was large attendance to-day Of
newspaper proprietors and book publish
ers before the legislative committee on
Federal relations, to urge the Importance
of mcmoralizing Congress for relief against
the paper makers monopoly. 1t shows
that the cost of school books alone is five
million dollars annually, and this COM
bination Of paper manufacturers added
thereto, full 90 per cent, which was also
serious tax upon the majority OF pa
rents also that nearly all religious pub
lications, weekly newspapers and books
heretofore published for the people, would
be compelled to sus end entirely or be
greatly restricted in their use!ulness.-
The daily papers would also be compel
to further advance to their price.
The publishers closed their case by pre-.
sentinr the following resolutions
Res9ioe9, that the welfare Of the commun-
twas well as the diffusion Of education and
general intelligence call for the adoption
of some measure which shall cheaper the
cost Of paper and prevent any combina-
ton of wealth or OF Interest in keeping
up the value Of the article at so high a
point as to infict a severe tax upon cdu-
cation and the dissemination Of informa-
ton generally among the people.
Res71ccd, That so far as regards the
protection OF capital and Industry, the
book and newspaper publishing business
employees vastly more Of capital and labor
thon than the production of the raw mate
rial, is entitled to the highest con'ldera-
ton.
Resolred, That onr Senator's and Rep
resentatives in Congress be requested to
vote for an amendment of the tariff which
shall red uce duty on imported paper
from 80 to per cent, or as near thereto
e5 may be practicable or expedicnt.

Do they miss me at Home.
Do they miss me at home. do they miss me
'Twould be an assurance most deaf,
To know that my name was not mentioned
As though l had never been there.
To know that my landlord and tailor,
And the banks where my paper is due,
And hosts whom now cannot mention
Had banished me quite from their view
Do they miss me at home. do they miss me :
When no longer I'm seen upon change,
And the friends who were wont to assist me,
Say, his conduct is remarkably strange.
Does the sbylock who loan d ne his money
To bear me to regions unknown,
Sigh in vain for occasions to dun me,
And wish 1 again we're at homea
Do they mss me at home, do they miss me
When the market in money is tight,
And collectors in haste are pursuing,
Their debtors by day and by night
Does TIE fellow who loaned me a City
And the one that loaned me n ten.
Heave a sigh OF regret as they miss me
And wish they could see me again
Do they mis-, me at home. do they miss me
'Twoulfd be an assurance m )st dear.
To know that my name was not men toned
As though had not been there.
But know that my memory fingers
Around that old SPOT as roam.
And while I've my wits and my creepere
They'll miss me. they'll mi.s me at home
