War Upon King Alcohol in Boston.

BosroN, Dec. 27.-Harvey D. Parker, pro-
prietor Of the Parker House; VIM. Brigham,
keeper Of the saloons OF the Revere and Ire
mont Houses, and Geo. Young, proprietor
Of Young's Hotel, were arraigned in the Mu-
nicipal Court to-day on the complaint of q
young man named Geo. T. Learock charged
with selling liquor. They pleaded guilty
and were sentenced each to fine Of $50 and
costs, and three months in the House Of Cor
rection, this being the regular punishment
imposed by the liquor law for the offence.
They appealed and were held in $500 each
to prosecute The same in the Superior Court.
These prosecutions are instigated by the
liquor dealers, who have been prosecuted by
the State constabulary, and have caused con-
siderable excitement, as the places aimed at
are the first-class hotels Of the city. These
victims Of the constabulary claim that the
course pursued by the State officials is to let
the high.toned places where liquor is sold
alone, and to oppress by prosecution and
seizure the poor and middling places, which
they hold is unfair and radically wrong.

A banker in the neighborhood saw the
party as they left the banking house Of
Bayard 4 Go.
The following description Of one Of the
parties is given by neighboring banker
he was apparently Jew, Of the height Of
five feet seven and o half to eight inches;
rather stout, face full, weighs about ls0
pounds, dark complexion, dark hair, dark
eyes, regular features, stands erect, wore
dark clothes and black silk hat.
About half past IL o'clock this p. m, two
men called at the Office Of @. P. Bayard 4
Co., and requested of Mr.. J. Bayard, an
elderly gentleman whose eyesight IL poor,
information whether the firm had any stocks
to sell. Mr.. Bayard requested them to wait
until his brother arrived. They continued in
conversation, asking what kind Of stocks the
firm dealt in, etc. In the meantime another
man came in and asked where he could get
bill changed. Mr.. Bayard directed him to
the Bank Of Commerce, on the second floor.
The old gentleman has no very distinct recol-
lection Of the movements Of the strangers.
They were genteelly dressed and had the air
Of business men; and as such visits are usual,
he paid no particular attention to them. It
seems, however, that the three men were in
league together, and while two of them kept
Mr.. Bayard in conversation, the other went
into the safe and took therefrom the tin box
containing the valuable Government and
other securities, and departed, the others soon
following.
Other bankers state that parties answer
ing the faint description which Mr.. J. Bayard
is able to give Of them visited their Offices

Be Gentle at Home.

There are few families, we imagine, any
where, in which love is rot abused as furn-
ishing the license for inn iteness. A hus-
band, father, or brother, will speak harsh
words to those he loves best, and those who
love him best, simply because the security
Of love and family pride keeps him from
getting his head broken 1t is shameful that
a man will speak more impolite, at times to
his wife or sister, than he would to any
other female except low and vicious one.
It is thus that the honest affections of a
mans nature prove to be weaker protection
in the family than the restraints of society,
and that q woman Is usually indebted for
the kindest politeness of life to those not be
longing to her own household Things
ought not so to be. The man who, because
it will. not be resented, inaicts his spleen
and bad temper upon those of his hearth
stone Is small coward and very mean
man. Kind words are circulating mediums
between true gentlemen in society; and
nothing can atone for the harsh language
and disrespectfuI treatment too often in
dulged IL between those bound together by
Gods own ties of Giond, and the still more
sacred bonds OF conjugal love.

The Wandering Jew.


The legend Of the Jew ever wandering,
and never dying, even from the crucifxion
of Jesus to the present day, is spread over
many European countries. The accounts,
however, as in all fables, do not agree. One
version is this: When Jesus was led to
death, oppressed by the weight of the cross,
he wished to rest himself near the gate of
the house Of Ahasuelus. This man, how
ever, sailed forth and thrust him away. Je-
sus turned toward him saying, shall rest
but thou shalt move on till | return" And
from that time he has no rest, and is obliged
necessarily TO wander about. Another YER
sion is that given by Matthew of Paris, a
monk Of the thirteenth century.
When Jesus was lead from the tribunal of
PLATE to DEATH the doorkeeper, named Cars
taphilus, pushed him from behind saving :
Walk on, Jesus quickly; why dost thou
larry
L walk on, but thou shalt tarry till l
And this man, still alive, wanders from
place to place, in constant dread of the
wrath TO come. A third legend adds, that
this wandering jew falls sick every hundred
years, but RECEIVERS and renews his strength;
hence it is, that, after so many centuries, he
docs not look much older than a. septUagen~
arian Thus much for the legends Not
enc Of the ancient authors alluded to this
wanderer. The first who reports such a
thing is a monk of the thirteenth century,
and the story proba bly, originated about that
time. However, the story has spread far
and wide, so that it has become proverb,
" He runs about ike wandering jew"
