Dick grinned, scratched and shook biz
great head aud shullled fora few minutes
while Mr.. Peel awaited his reply. Tbs
cotton lord thought his servant would
probably ask q hundred pounds or 90
which he would most willingly have giver
him. Presently Dick raid:
"Well. Master Pin, III tell zee all about

Mr.. Peel rather thought he should, and
quickly agreed to the terms.

Well, then" said Dick, first looking
cautiously round to sec that no n wal
near, "tbis it be :" and putting his lips
close to Mr., Pcel's ear, he whispered
"Chalk your bobbins."
That, indeed, was the great secret, Dick
had been in the habit of furtively chalk
ing bis bobbins, which simple continuance
had effectually prevented the adherence
of the cotton. AS the bobbins were white,
the chalk had escaped detection.
Mr.. Peel WAS a ssgacious man, and saw
through the affair at a glance. He at once
pater&sd the invention, had "chalking'
machinery contrived, and 500 had thu
lead in the cotton spinning department
This was the foundation Of his princel,
fortune. 1t is but right to add that h,

Hon. John Ray.

From the Monroe Inteuigehcer.
We took occasion, o short time ago, to
bring tho name of this gentleman prOmi-
nently before our readers as q suitable can
didate for the United States Senate, and
since then have seen nothing in our ex-
changes, nor have any Republicans OF
prominence expressed an opinion to lead
us to believe that the view taken by us in
the matter was erroneous.
The eminent services rendered in times
past by Nr. John Ray to the State, and his
organization in this State, are admitted on
ali sides and if these things do not entitle
him to the honor of a seat in the highest
legislative body of the United States, we
know not what should. 1t is true
the Democrats charge that no man
will be elected to the United States
Senate by the next Legislature who
does not pay his way with greenbacks, and
Mr.. Ray has positively declared he will not
use any, but we have too high an opinion OF
tho members elect to believe that they
would be influenced by such mercenary mo-
tives. We believe, as we have stated be-
fore, that the country parishes are entitled
to one of the senatorships, and as we have
only heard two or three names mentioned,
our choice naturally falls ON Mr.. Ray.
An old resident Of our parish, one of the
leading meDbers Of our bar, one OF our
largest PROPERTY owners and most public
spirited citizens, we feel a pride in bringing
his name forward for this high position.
We know that he will fill it with dignity
and with honor to himself and his State.
There are, no doubt, other gentlemen who
would fill the office as well as Mr.. Ray, but
at present we can not give them our support

ELEGANT OIL PAIN1INas.-The paintings
now on exhibition at No. l42 Canal street,
still attract large numbers of visitors and
promise rapid sale tonight, when they
will be offered at auction. For careful
efforts of the pencil, few public collections
can excel the present one in the many fea-
lures that makes painting desirable. The
importer who selected the collection has
exhibited critical taste that we predict
will be substantially commended by the
general purchaser. These paintings embrace
SO great variety of subjects, and are in
general so we'll executed, that every house
hold will find something adapted to their
taste, and are elegant ornaments to any
apartment, whether parlor, chamber, dining
room or library. The sale is by Messrs. r.
NJ. & Il. J. Montgomery, auctioneers.

NEW YORK, December 26.-The Herald
has the following on the French situation:
1.-THE defeat Of General Chanzy at Le
Mans has not been confirmed, and probably
will not be for some time.
1--WE are prepared to hear OF his retire
ment to AleAcon. This, in fact, was fore
shadowed by our correspondent writing
from lie Mans q few days ago, and whose
letter was sent by cable specially to the
Herald Nor will such retirement be neces-
sarily compulsory retrOgrade movement.
ChanEy's plan evidently is to move as
far north as he possibly can, 40
that he may relieve BOurbakis forces
from the danger of an attack following
the sudden junction of the two German
besides if Chanzy succeeds in bis flank
movement, and throws his army in posi-
ton northwest of Paris, he will cover
Havre and Cherbourg, and will be heavily
reinforced by the forces gathered to defend
those cities, meanwhile with General Fade
heree keeping Manteuffel employed near
Bourbaki, who is certainly the ah!est
officer now in the French service, may sue
ceed in forcing his way to Fontainebleau, or
by a vigorous offensive movement compel
the Germans to concentrate against him,
and thus give Chanzy chance tQ push on
to St. Denis, or some point on tine west Of
The following is summary of the latest
news:
The battle which opened so favOrably for
General Faidherbe, at NOyOn, on the twenty
third instant, is reported to have ended on
the twenty fourth, with complete defeat
for him.
The details are yet wanting, but the bare
fact Of defeat appears to be fully sus
tanned by the reports which have been re-
ceived from various sources.
Tours has been again entered by the Ger
man troops.
The citizens Of ChalOns, like thos6 ul
Rheims, have resisted the demand of the
German garrison, but have been summarily
suppressed, and number Of leading citi
zens have been sent to Germany as
hostages.
The line Of railroad communication be-
tween Versailles and Metz is being fortified
The advance on Lyons has caused q
great excitement in that city and rising

Christmas at the Girls House OF Refuge.
The wards of this institution partook OF
their Christmas dinner yesterday, and after
ward we're gratifed with presents. There
are about twenty-three inmates here under
the charge of a most excellent matron. Mrs.
Ellen Stokes. T.is lady has been in charge
of this institution some twelve years, and
from tho appearance of those under her
charge we should judge she makes good
mother to the helpless and unfortunate girls
whom circumstances have forced to take
refuge in this hospitable institution.
The dinner table was teeming with good
things when we arrived, and after an intro
duction to come lady visitors, the kind
hearted matron and Miss Gallagher, the
teacher employed in the institution, the
girls were marched in to dinner and seated.
While this was going on, Colonel Lewis,
the Administra tor of Police, accompanied
by his efficient secretary, Mr.. Myers, and
another gentleman, entered the room as vi
sitors, and were greeted with the pleasant
smiles and salutations of those present.
Among other visitors, we noticed Major
Henry and his wife, OF the Boys House OF
Refuge.
While the girls were partaking of their
Christmas dinner, We were shown up stairs
to look at the Christmas tree that contained
the presents that were to be distributed
after dinner. Everything wore comforta
Bile appearance, and We should have been
most pleased to have accepted the worthy
matron's invitation to dine with her, had We
felt at leisure to do SO.
Although the girls Of this institution were
not as aemonstrative of joy as the boys
under the charge Of Major Henry, they
showed unmistakable signs of joy in more
quiet way. Their eyes fairly sparkled, and
their fair young faces were wreathed in
smiles, indicating the thankfulness of theil
hearts for the favors shown them.
