ure thus unceremoniously excited no comment
among the ravenou throng inside.
END OF THE SHOW.
Andy Johnson's plebeians paid no more at
tention to the other distinguished people after
supper time than they did to the Presidential
party. Most of the aristocrats had gone home,
and only the commoners remained in force
Gen. Banks stood solitary for quarter of an
hour. The Vice Admiral, his smiles gone,
rosmed about discontentedly and soon stole
away. The ball did not close, it fizzled out,
like poor piece of fireworks. After O'Clock
the people were still eating off plates that had
been used before, and drinking from each 9TH
er's cups.
The end of the Inauguration ceremonies was
not at all creditable to those concerned. Al
though many distinguished gentlemen and ele-
giant ladies were present during the evening.
the majority were of the other stamp, and had
never before been seen in Washington. The
reader has a faithful photograph of both
phases of the affair, and can form his own con.
clusions as to the success of the ball. With it
ends the ceremonies of the Inauguration.
Abraham Lincoln is again seated in the Presi-
dents chair with all the honors. May he live
long and rule wisely.

The Saxon Bible.
Sacred Thing, which Doubt has
Never Dimmed and Controversy
Never SOiled.,,

In an obituary notice of the late Cardi-
nal WIsEMAN, the head, of the Catholic
Church in England, which we find In the
Milwaukee Sentinel occurs the following
extract from the writings of this eminent
deceased. 1t is of itself
"a gem of purest ray Serene"
worthy OF any ones perusal and study:
Who will not say that the uncommon heautv
and marvellous English of the PROTESTANT Rih,s
is one of the great strongholds of heresy in
this country? 1t lives on the ear like music
that never can be forgotten; like the sound of
the church bell, which the convert hardly
knows how he can forego. It's felicities often
seem to be almost things rather than mere
words. 1t is part of the national mind, and the
of the dead passes into it. The potent tradi.
1ons OF childhood are stereotyped in its verses
The power of all the gifts and trials of man
Is hidden beneath its words. It is the repre-
sentative OF his best moments; and all that
there has been about him of soft, and gentle.
and pure, and penitent and good, speaks to
nun forever out OF the English Bible. It is
dimmed, and controversy never soiled. In the
length and breadth of the land there is not a
Protestant, without one spark of righteous-
ness about him, whose spiritual biograpbv ia
not in his Saxon Bible
Where amid all the Protestant writings
OF Protestant ministers or essayests: where
IN the whole range of English literature,
from the pen or the tongue of any living
or dead Protestant, divine or layman, can
Do found more beautiful, more finished,
more perfect an eulogy, of the Protestant
Bible than the above-that "sacred thing,
which doubt has never dimmed and con-
trOversy never soiled"

and sixteen states and territories whose
collections are less than one million of
dollars.
The expenses for assessing and cellect-
ing this amount, including salaries, COM
missions, rent, stationery, printing, &C.,
were $5,528, ,sS4.6O, fraction over four
per cent.
The large return of New Yerk-more
than equal to all New England-and the
comparatively small return of Pennsyl-
vania, are particularly noticeable. The
figures for 1854 will, of course, show a
very large increase, probably one-third
over 1863.

Oh, that the bells in all these silent spires
Would clash their clangor on the sleeping
air.
Ring their wild music out with throbbing
choirs,
Ring peace in everywhere!
Oh, that this wave of sorrow surging DER
The red, red land would wash away its stain
Drown out the angry fire from shore to shore,
And give It peace again!
On last years blossoming graves, with summer
calm!
Loud in his happy tangle huns the bee;
Nature forgets her hurt, and finds her balm
Alas and why not we?
Spirit of God that moved upon the face
Of the waters, and bade ancient chaos cease,
Shine, shine again DER this tumultuous space,
Thou that art Prince of Peace!
