NATURAL ALLIES Coming TOGETHER.
significant struggle on the bill relating to the
Banks and the redistribution of the Curren-
cy took place in the House of Representatives
a few days since. It lasted during the day.
The North and East opposed the bill-the
Northwest aul West and South favored it
and they carried the day. What its fate
will be in the Senate is doubtful, but the re-
suit in the House is considered portcntous
and augurs union in interests and action
between the West and South in the future.

The MAID OF MONT BLANCA few days
ago we mentioned seeing this beautiful crayon
Autograph at Hale's gallery, bnt we are des,r-
Gus that our citizens should not fail to share
the same pleasure which we have experienced
when gazing upon one OF the lovliest ideal faces
ever limned by artists hand. The drawing
represents maiden with head bent forward as
if her eye caught glimpse of the desired OBJ
ject in the distance towards which she was
eagerly pressing on, while around her and
above her tower the snow clad peaks of Swift
zerland. On her head she wears sort of cap,
while her cloak is gracefully thrown around
her, aud the mountain blasts have blown her
magnificent hair back from her brows, causing
it to fall down her neck in ripping waves,
The expression of the eyes is that of affection,
confid ence and determination, and we think
that in the delineaton of this feature the artist
has been singularly happy. The poise of the
neck upon the shoulders is particularly grace
tul, and the other features are types OF true
beauty. The legend, we believe, from which
the artist, Miss Manning, took her idea is that
party of tourists on Mont Blanc observed.
through the mists a singular formation of the
clouds and which took the shape of a beau
tiful profile. Before we knew the legend we
had improvised a charming romance of ayoung
traveller, who, attempting the ascent of the
mountain alone, being overcome with the cold,
and sinking into the death sleep, dreams of
this beautiful face, which takes the shape of a
loved one at home, who he imagines is eagerly
looking for him in the narrow passes of the
mountain during the terrible storm, and is SO
impressed with the illusion that he makes one
more effort, almost benumbed with cold, and
meets a party with guides who rescue him from
a fearful death. We have rarely met with
work of art which has given us so much pleas
ure as this. 1t calls to mind wildly Longfel

A case of Remorse.

Among our law advertisements to-day will be
found the petition of Margaret H. Remorse for
divorce from her husband Francisco Remorse
on account of his general and unnamable
naushtiness. She probably mistook Remorse
FOR Repentance just as Judas, Lord Byron and
other distinguished sinners have DONE Re
morse in this case did not exhibit the slight
est indication of repentance according to
her efficient sketch of his loose life. For it
seems to cap the climax of his infidelities in
respect of "divers lewd women to her." as the
llbellant with ladylike decorum asserts, sun
knoaon." Remorse remorselessly "on the 23d
day of July 1868 deserted your libellant, and
has ever since remained in parts to your Ii
beant unknown" And why should "your
Hbetlant" even officially complain of that !?
Why should she not with some levity of heart
sing: Farewell Remorse, and so ease her bur-
dened mind ofsuch a gnawing and bitter ten
ant. Still she does well to advertise him, for
IN these parts to your libellant wholly I'M
known" who knows what other innocence he
may beguile, what conscious purity he may
change to Remorse, for whoever gets him
along with him will be sure to get remorse and
perhaps repentance to boot.

BosroN, Oct. 18.-The Congressional Com
mittee of Inquiry into the causes of the decline
of American shipping, with view to its RENEE
DIV, if possible, met to-day in the rooms of the
Board of Trade. Some twenty leading ship
builders and merchants we're present
Franklin w. Smith, representing the ATTAIN
tic Works at East Boston, read a statement
upon the condition Of American shpbuilding
before the war, and gave resume of the diff
cuties, under which the building of iron ships
is now practically impossible. He stated the
reasons why iron ships are superseding wooden
vessels for commercial purposes. Out of over
$50 vessels built upon the Clyde last year, less
than twenty were of wood. Before the war,
the iron used in shipbuilding was taxed "A per
cent Commencing with rise OF 81 per cent
in 1861. it was increased to 112 per cent. in
1864; and last year it was proposed by the
Morehead tariff to strike at the shlpbullding
interest by q tax of 16S per cent. lie then
gave a detailed statement of the duties upon
the different materials used in constructing an
iron vessel, showing that upon thousand ton
vessel the tax would be $21 900, which is about
% per cent more than the cost of an iron ship
of that tonnage on the Clyde.
Samuel Hail, Paul Curtis, and other well
known shipbuilders, expressed their views to
| the Committee, generally agreeing that the free
| importation of material was necessary to the
| resuscitation of American shipbuilding.
| E. H. Derby addressed the Committee at
length upon the necessity Of remission Of
duties upon ship5uilding materials, a return to
specie payment, and general revision of the
| tariff.
