fields Bookstore. Published by ID.
Appleton, & Co, New York.
Mrs. Muhlback. the author OF this
charming historical romance, is one of
the modern German writer's who is
attracting public attention from the
talent which she displays in depicting
salient points in past history. She
takes up Frederick the Great, and
makes us familiar with the homo life

sess the power of daguerreotyping the
events she is describing with the hand

these, so fully are we impressed with
the truthfulness OF the descriptions
They are fact and fiction combined.

Gen. Butler In New York.

The copperhead roughs of New
York city prevented Gen. Butler from
political speech on Saturday.
The moment he would commence to
speak the roughs would set up II yell
ing, completely drowning the speak
er's voice. An apple was thrown at
him, hitting him in the stomach. The
General took the apple III his hand,
and deliberately proceeded to eat it.
This caused laughter, but did not
quiet the noisy and turbulent rowdies.
Butler finding that it was idle to at
tempt longer to make "A formal speech,
"raked down" the mob i'll pointed
language. We give the concluding
portions of his remarks:
The men who are now yelling and
hooting are the men who, in 1868,
killed negro children murdered inno-
cent babies, when they dared not look
the men in the face. When the pow
er of the United States armies came
here these same murderers were the
first to bow their heads. Why, you
poor fools, | have faced your super
iors in Baltimore and New Orleans;
/ have seen great many more than
YOU, with arms in their hands, and yet
not flinched. Do you suppose shall
finch from onion sinking breath A
man who has smelt gunpowder can
stand garlic. Do you think you are
the equal of the negro? Oh, no, the
negro is UNNECESSARILY your superior
as heaven is above hell, where you will

and you may be quite sure l do not
fear you. Men of Five Points thieves

voice OF this uation, that you are not
fit for the exercise of the elective fran,
chise, and III no better way than this

THE THIRD DIsrR.cr. From the re-
turns, which we print esewhere,it will
be seen that Hon. Worthington G.
Smith is elected by large plurality
over Judge Adds. Compared with the
September election the canvass has
been conducted very orderly and quiet
ly. Notwithstanding the emphatic dec
laration of Mr.. Portus Baxter that he
would 60 TO Congress if it cost every
dollar he was worth, he has been left
out in the cold, and will be permitted
after the 4th of next March to retire
forever to the shades OF Derby. Requt-

The large vote il st. Adams may
be accounted for by the fact that two
hundred and forty odd persons from
different parts of the District cast their
votes here. Had this not been SO,
.be vote would have been considerably
less than in September.

Technology OF TlpsyficatiOn.

One of the New York reporters thus
exhausts the vocabulary of drunken
ness, in his report OF the defence of a
husband in reply to the charge of wife
beating:
please your Honor, it's all lies; l
never beat her; she gets blind drank
sometimes, and she is always more or
less tipsy, she's muzzy now, your Hon
or; last Thursday she got wobsy early
in the morning, and she went out and
got swipey again, and she kept on get
ting swipier and swipier till at last she
was regularly tuddled, and she got
fuddleder and fuddleder, and she met
lot of friends and they were all lit
tie corned, and some regularly groggy,
and when Mary Ann came where they
was then they had more lush and they
liquored up and pretty soon were
three sheets in the wind, and then
they took hair of the dog that bit
them, your Honor, and they kept on
taking horn and they all got regu-
larry nappy, your Honor. indeed, Mary
Ann was drunk as an owl--as drunk
az a wheel-barrow--drunk as four
pipers, your Honor, and couldn't see
hole through 40 foot ladder, fol
Mary Ann drinks like fish, your
Honor. and when she gets a little
toddled she isn't satisfied, but she

More Privileges for JEFF. Davis.

The parole granted JEFF. Davis some
months ago, giving him the privilege
of the grounds of the Fortress during
the day, has been extended, through
Executive clemency, in removing all
surveillance of him, and the guards
from his room in Carol Hall at night.
Instructions to this effect have been
sent from Washington to Gen. Bur
ton, commandment of the Fort, thus de-
priving his Imprisonment of anything
like severity. and paving the way, as
is generally presumed. for final pa
role and release.
All guards over him, both during
the day and night, being removed. he
now enjoys every possible means of
comfort and pleasure while held pris-
oner in the Fortress. 1t is said he
has expressed great satisfaction at
this action of the government, and al
ready contemplates visiting Carroll
Hall and taking up his residence with
Mrs. Davis in apartments assigned
her shortly after her arrival here.

NAPOLEON HEALTH The Paris cor
respondent of the New York Times
says in arecent letter;
Strange stories continue to circu-
late about the Emperor's health. But
there appears to be no other serious
grounds for these stories than peoples
fears. Nevertheless, His Majesty is
not exactly well, and he takes great
pains to conceal the fact His case
would probably be best described by
saying that he falls easily Ill, for his
symptoms are not always the same.
Sometimes it is rheumatism--a very
vulgar complaint for n sovereign;
sometimes a renal weakness, and
sometimes something else But in all
that there is nothing particularly Sc
rious. He may live yes u long time, VI
he may not

The GREATEST MODERN MIRACLE. The

ceiyed by the electric cable, from the

and Archbishops assembled in council
in that respectable seat of American
Catholicism. The despatch was dated
at l. 80 o'clock before noon, and was
received at $50 o'clock the same day.

Fire and Water.

st. Adams, abroad, has the reputa
ton of being an enterprising place.
In one sense this is true; in another
it is quite the reverse. One would
suppose, considering the amount of
taxes annually voted, that our village
ought to have toleraby decent roads
and walks; but it is not So Some of
our walks are absolutely dangerous,
and are daily commented on by men,
women and children. The result will
be, we fear, broken limb, and then
the tax -payers will be called on to sing
to the tune of three or four thousand
dollars. If this is economy or enter
prise, we confess, we cant see it :
perhaps, however, others can.
But we did not set out to write
about our miserable and dangerous
walks, but to refer to other matters
which are equally important, if not
more SO. Our village. with popua
ton of four or five thousand, has no

money to celebrate the Fourth of Ju-
