WASHINGTON, January l


aMErms At THE wuIrE HOUSE, sc.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of tile
weather, the reception at the Executive
Mansion was more brilliant than those Of
former New Years receptions. Streets
were filled with melted snow and elush,
aud pedestrians were almost entirely eX-
cluded from calling; but nc an early hour
the carriages commenced coming toward
the Executive Mansion, TO 60 through the
formalltles of New Years call.
With the dignitaries and diplomats the
call was one simply of ceremony with the
masses it was one of feeling, duty or curl
osty.
The President looked unusually we'll.
The reception was in the blue room.
Mrs. Stover and Mrs. Patterson were
plainly but exquisitely dressed. Mrs. Slower
wore black silk, with close fitting basque,
trimmed on the cuffs and edges and on the
bottom of the skirt with small black braid,
in a very elaborate and tasteful pattern of
leaves and vines.
Mrs. Patterson wore also n black silk,
with tight fitting basque, braided with fine
wheat braid, In the same pattern as Eer sis
ter. Mrs. Stover. Both of these ladies wore
plain linen collars and mourning brooches
and EARRINGS. They were supported" by
Miss Stover, a bright girl of about sixteen
summers, a sister-in-law of Mrs. Slower.
She was dressed very plainly In white and
blue silk dress, braided with white silk and
trimmed with white bugles Her hair was
slightly frizzlcd In front and gathered into
neat roll at the back, secured by band OF
Of blue cord. She wore topaz brooch and
earrings, and delicate sprig of jessamine
in her hair, and with innocent, unconscious
grace she moved through the room, looking
like dream of poety that may not be writ
ten or told.
One nigger was the only Bureaucrdt that
honored the President on the occasion. He
was adorned IN faultless bldcki

10 he EdttOf Of the N. Y. Irtbune.
SIR: On Sunday evening. about half past
five O'Clock, as the Hamilton ferry boat
was leaving the slip on the New York side,
a man and his wife, and two children. hur-
riedly attempted 10 get OF board, after the
boat started. The woman and one child
succeeded in doing So but while the mother
was attempting TO pull the other little one
after her, the father still on the wharf,
fearful of the risk, strove to retain It. The
result Of this terrible indecision was that
as the boat receded, both parents, sup
posing the other would keep hold, lot 60
simultaneously, and the child, girl of
eight years, falling, disappeared in an in
slant in the frothng waves and darkness
below. The agonized screams OF the mother
brought the passengers thronging from the
cabin, and all, no doubt, anticipating In the
first confusion second Idaho calamity, il
was some time before the facts were ascer-
tained The boat meanwhile kept on to
Brooklyn and as no movement had been
perceptible among the few lookers-On mt the
ferry, not much consolation could be given
to the wretched mother clinging to her re-
naming child. A brave fellow named
Kelly, boatman, had witnessed the affair,
however, and plunging in swan under
the watei-closet, found the child, and after
much eXertion, got back to the man-rope
and was fished out with his prize. The
return boat brought back the family, hope
less and despairing There stood Kelly
with the girl, and rs he handed the mother
her child, alive and well, the scene that
ensued can hardly be described. 1t brought
tears to the eyes of the bystanders.

~ New Cmrinr Process.

The Buffalo papers are giving prominence
TO the Alberger system of curing meats.
The process IS similar to that used In en-
balming human bodies, with the exception,
that in this case nothing but strong solu-
tion ofbrine is used, instead ofthe preserv-
atiYe materials used in the embalming pro-
cess. There is no machinery worth mem
tioning required, and the rapidity of the
operation, and the quichness with which
the meat is salted, is truly surprising. As
soon as the animal has been knocked i'm the
head, the operator makes an incision inst
back of the fore legs, laying the breast bare.
He then saws through the bone, until the
heart is exposed which he pierces. causing
the arterial blood TO spout out The ani-
NAL Is neXtsealded and deprived of brlstles,
and then gutta perch tube is inserted iii
the heart through which brine of the tenn
perature OFFS degrees is poured. similar
lube Is put in the other side of the heart.
and the pressure from the brine throws out
the last drop of blood. In ten or fifteen
minutes the hog is entirely saturated with
the fluid tand perfectly cured. All that
now remains Is to dis9pbowel and dissect
him.

IRON the New 1ork independents
In the city of New York the humber OF
those women who, with lamentable truth,
are styled abandoned - can not be less than
ten thousand In 1868, the number of pro-
fessed prostitutes, by actual census, was
1850; they must be more numerous now.
and their roll is continually increasing
Already they equal the population Of two
average rural townships. II they were
placed in line, two abreast, they would
form a procession two md half miles
long, that w0asd reach from the Battery
above Union Squarel OF all this ghastly
army, one-half are under twenty years OF
age. The average duration of an aban-
dOned woman's life after she yields herself
to the horrid trade is just four years 1t
only requires that brief space of carousal
and champagne, of revelry and rum, to re-
duce a beautiful girl, from the country,
into a loathsome mass of disease, ready for
tie pauper's grave.
In addition TO the ten thousand prosti-
tutes, there are probably twenty thousand
more who are either "kept mistresses" or
the occasional frequenters of houses OF
assignation. If the names of all these
could be published, It would make fearful
quaking ''in society," and some knees
would "smite together behind brown
stOne-fronts, and beneath Paris laces. Some
years ago New York was Mortified at learn
ing through the press that licentious mau
had been conducted to a room in house oi

waiting to receive the "wages of sim
Neither one had suspected the inhdelity Of
the other.

New YORK, January l.
The Herdld'S special by the cable says
that the confagration at Sydenham Palace
broke out in the.north wing, in the section
devoted TO tropical contributions The
Egyptian and Ninevah Courts are almost
destroyed. The Northern Tower is left
standing. 1t is estimated that the damage
to the building and its contents will reach
million and a half of dollars.
Arrangements for the confederation of
the British Provinces of North America
had been settled, and will be introduced at
the next session of Parliament. The i'm
perlal guarantee is raised to four million
pounds sterling.
The assertion is made on high authority
that the leading powers of Europe, except
Russia, have resolved to take measures for
the preservation of the Holy See
The representatives of Prussia and the
United States are among the most deter
mined supporters.
The French ambassador has declared that
France would hold Italy responsible for
any violation OF the temporal power.

NEW YORK, January l.
A Constantinople correspondent of the
New York Tribune gives rather a discour-
aging account Of the condition of the
American colony which recently emigrated
from Maine TO Palestine, under the leader
ship OF one Elder, or as he calls himself,
President, Adams. The colonists belong to
a sect which is self styled "The Church
of the Messiah" One point of faith is that
they are of the Jewish tribe of Ephraim,
and that the curse having been taken off
from Palestine the set time has come for
the lost ten tribes to return to the promised
land. The colonists are said to be much
dissatisfied. None of their number, their
whole strength being l57, have died. The
Turkish Government, however, has shown
itself friendly thus far, and admitted their
goods free of duty. The settlers had am
pie funds at the beginning but have in-
vested so largely in lands that their re-
sources may fail before the next crop comes
in.

BALTIMORE, January l.
Judge Magruder, of Annapolis, was
brought before United States Commissioner
Brooks this morning, on indictments against
him for resisting the Civil Rights Bill.
There are two indictments. The first is
for refusing to receive negro testimony !;
the second for selling cOlOred persons into
slavery as a punishment for crime.
The Judge gave bail in $1,000. 1t is in
tended to make this a test case before the
highest courts.

WHATS IN A, NAME ?--The ",Sunbeanl'' Is
the title Of a neat and sprightly weekly
paper, edited, printed and published by the
inmates OF the New Jersey Penitentiary.
It shows industry. ability and very cred
liable moral tone in its editorials. 1t is
rather a singular enterprise, and the first
of the kind that we have noticed. The fol-
lowing paragraphs, from the number of
December 22,will give the reader an idea
of the character of its tseditorials; ra
Two children, of the respective ages of
thirteen and fourteen years, arrived at this
Institution ON Monday last, from Atlantic
County, having been sentenced to fifteen
months imprisonment for the crime of
larcenyt New Jersey, we believe, is the
only State in the Union that has not pro-
yided a a.proper place for the punishment
and reformation Of youthful delinquents.
State Prison is bad school for youth, as
we know from personal observation.
CHRISTMAS IN PRIsoY.-There Is, per-
haps no time when the prisoner feels SO
keenly the priyatiOns of his imprisonment
as when come those days of general re-
joicing, which he has been taught were
commemqrations of great and holy events.
He now calls up those free and happy years.
still bright and pure in his memory. when
no cold, stern prison walls, closed him in
from society Of friends, and when he not
only enjoyed, but Appreciated, the sacred
festivities of the Christian world Aud his
heart and affections are still unchanged.
Why should not the halls be caused to
echo the glad chorus of the Saviours birth,
and thus remind the prisoner that though
forgotten by cold world. the Lord of the
whole earth has not cast him out? He is
lonely here, and the more so when he re-
members what pleasant scenes the outside
world is enjoying. If comforted by the
happy thought that his spiritual and bodily
wants are not forgotten, he viii remember
Christmas day with pleasure, and learn TO
think upon its Author with love and graft
