Christmas.

Christmas always brings with it, its pleas
ant reunions, it's gifts, and its social inter-
views.
This fact was not forgotten by the one hun
dred and thirty workmen Of Mr.. Ed. Balm of
this city. On Christmas eve., when Santa
Claus, an old gentleman whose name is held
in kindly remembrance is expected to make
his annual visit, few friends were invited to
meet at the Halliday House to give him cor
dial welcome.
On arriving there, having been favored with
an invitation we found Mr.. Bain's workmen
assembled, with evident expectation that
some one would be surprised with the favors
that Santa Claus would bestoW.
Soon Judge Webster appeared in the fore
ground and in few we'll timed remarks pre-
sented to Mr.. Balm o cane valued at $50,
which he assured Mr.. Balm was the free will
Offering of his workmen. Ea
This to Mr.. Balm was truly4a surprise; his
heart was 90 full for utterance, and his at
tempt to express his thanks showed how
highly hevalued the gift. AS We pressed for
ward to give Mr.. Balm our congratulations,
we were stopped by Dist. Atty.J V. Quarles
who reminded us that Santa Claus had other
favors to bestow; that the workmen of Mr..
Balm, felt that they owed much to their fore
man Mr. Geo. Yule, and that they could not
give expression of their respect for him in a
better way than to present him with gold
watch chain. Mr.. Yule, being man Of deeds
and not of words, could only bow his thanks,
his countenance expressing more than words
his appreciation of the gift. - eseFFn
But the end was not yet. Soon Mr.. Hall
came forward and reminded US that Mr.. Balm
had found it necessary to have the time of his
men accurately kept, and in the person of Mr..
Hargiss he had found one who had the inter,
est of employer and employee at heart, and
that the value they placed in his services
could best be expressed by purse containing
500 which in behalf ofhis associates he begged
Mr.. Hargiss to accept. This gift like the 9th
ers was unexpected, and will no doubt prove
a blessing to the recipient.
AS we left that hall we felt good work haC
been done that the gift in each instance wa
appropriate and would be valued by the re
cipients more highly than can be expressed
in greenbacks. V. A.

Fire,

Last Tuesday night, at about midnight,
the large flonring mill of Gideon Truesdell,
near Main street bridge, caught fires was
burned to the ground, together with the en-
tire contents. The wind, fortunately, was
blowing from the west, or we might have had
to chronicle the burning of several vessels
that are laid up on the west side of the mill.

Breaking Criminals on the Wheel.

The good old times must, in very many
respects, have been very bad old times
Read, for instance, the following extract
from the instructions given in 1746 by the
Paris Parliament to "Monsieur de Paris, /"
that is to say the Partisan. executioner, in
regard TO the course he was to pursue in
breaking criminals:
After undressing the prisoner, no matter
whether male or female until nothing but
short shirt covers them, he will tie them
to the st. Andrews cross on the scaffold,
stretching their limbs out as far as pos
sible and turning their elbows outside -
After giving the chaplain notice to leave
the scaffold he will take the bar ian iron
bar, four feet long, aJd very heavy,) and
commence striking ON the prisoner s limbs
He will commence at the left shoulder,
crushing the bones by two deliberate blows.
One blow will be sufficient for the upper
arm, two for the left elbow, two for the
wrist and hand. Two heavy blows will be
on the left hip-bone, thres on the left knee
Joint; two, we'll laid on, on the left leg, and
one on the left foot. Monsieur de Paris
will then wait minute or,two, and COM
mence working" on the right side Of the
culprit commencing at the foot and finish
ing at the shoulder. The greffier of the
court will see to it that these instructions
are strictly carried out. The screams OF
the culprit must not be needed by 'Mon.
sieur nor must he give him the coup d.
grace before finishing on the right should.
er. The coup de grace is to consist of three
heavy blows, to be delivered on the breast
of the prisoner, if the prisoner is a woman,
the coup de grace will be deliversp under
the ribs, lest her bosom should break the
force of the blows The body of the cul-
prit will be delivered to the medical faculty
of Paris, which will give report on the
condition of the corpse to the grefier ofthe
Parliament
This horrible mode of punishment was
witnessed on an average once week by
the Parisians. One of the last victims Of
this atrocious cruelty was poor servant
girl, who had been convicted of stealing
two or three dresses from her mistress. She
W AS broken on the wheel because larcenies
by domestics had become very numerous
in Paris. Her agony lasted seven minutes,
and stream of blood spouting from heI
mouth after her knee joint had been crush
ed, drowned her heart-rending cries. Queen
Maria Antoinette had been appealed to to
save the girl and haughtily refused. This
was afterward remembered against her. -
During the reign of Louis XVI, about three
thousand persons were actually broken on
the wheel Such were the good old times

Senator Sumner is spending his holiday
recess at Washington, getting up u speech
on the subject of the finances which is to
he in the nature of areply to Senator Nor
ton. In finances, rs in all other matters,
Sumner has sublime contempt for any
and all facts and circumstances which may
conflict with his theories. It is right, he
says to resume specie paymenls-th therefore
it is right to do it right away, and wrong to
permit an hours delay. And what it is
right to do, and therefore right to do now,
should be ordered at once without regard
ing the chow" The 4th of July liz the day
he has set apart for his declaration of indie
pendence of all laws of trade That il took
at least eight years to make the "declara-
ton" which gives the 4th of Jnly its fame
effective, furnishes him no lessons or sug-
gestions. The law is TO be passed the de-
claration sent forth and the thing is done.
On this subject the Washington CORES
pondent of the Herald says: "The subject
of finances is new one with Sumner, and
some curiosity is manifested among sena-
tors to see how he will handle it. Some of
his colleagues laugh ut the idea of his nt-
tempting to instruct the Senate and the
country on this branch of political economy
bnt the Massachusetts, senator is industrious
and if he doesnot advance any new ideas
he will at least get mp respectable array Of
old facts and theories. Several other Sen
atorsare understood to bepreparing speech
es on the finances, and the indications are
that this subject will receive considerable
attention in the Senate after the recess"
