reported that pretty full expedition Of q
like character is now ready for transpor-
tation to Europe. Late dispatches from

England should get into war with Russia.
The national Journalists are urging the
people in violent language to reserve
themselves for service in the army of
Ireland, and not to waste their lives by
cnlisting in the British army. Putting
these facts together, may not the exodus
from this country be destined for ireland
as much as for France? In case England
rshouid have shindy brigade of Irish-
American soldiers would be handy.

THE INFATUATION OF GAMBLING

The IntatuatlOn OF gambling Is strongly
illustrated by the tale told by one Collins,
an employee in the Boston city treasury,
who has been arrested for stealing from
the department about ten thousand dollars,
mostly in gold. Collins says:
"When arrested had 81, 400 in gold,
and some few greenbacks-some $40 or
$3.50 odd dollars. l there acknowledged
that had been gambling, and also that it
was with money belonging to the city of
Boston. No one induced me to play; the
cause was as follows: have played be-
fore and won. A few days ago a relative
asked a loan from me of $3.50. had but
eighty; l gave fifty and took the
other thirty and played at 135 Court
street; lost it; l thought | would
try again; took $65 from the treasury and
lost that; next day took $3.50, with the
same result; next day $500, with no bet
ter luck; l saw no way to recover my
self, and day after day drew and lost,
lost, lost; had gambled before; l played
when l was in the water board at City
Hall, and lost 500, but this was recovered
for me; in California | made money, and
returning, took an oath to myself that
1 never would again gamble; but have
broken my resolution; the amount l have
taken, which is about $4,000, has been
lost in gambling; hardly $50 has been
spent for cigars or hack hire.
The day he was arrested he seCreted
S., 900 in gold in his desk, intending to
take the night train for New York and
the steamer for Europe. The 81, 400 on
his person were to ''pay expenses" with.

THE NEW WORLD.
The Pilgrims Jubilee Year.

We have more than once, within few
months, alluded to the fact that 1870 was
the centennial of the first celebration of
the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth,
and the 250th anniversary of the occur
renee of that great event. We have also
mentioned the proposal to make this year
a jubilee year, in cOmmemOratiOn of the
men who first demonstrated the possibility
that a colony of Christian freemen could
live and thrive on the coast of New Eng
land, and who not only gave an impetus
to colonization here, but form and char
acter to the whole civil, religious, and
educational institutions of this new world;
and set in motion influences which are
still felt over our whole broad land, aud
in all the habitable world.
The COngregatjOndList of this week
comes out with a distinct and definite
plan for celebrating and improving the ju-
bilee year. 1t is, in brief, to mark some
of the special memorable days of the
year with the appropriate services in the
churches of those who hold the faith and
ecclesiastiC order of the Pilgrims, and to
have two general assemblies, one at Chi
Cago, H., and the other at Plymouth.
The days specially designated though
others, perhaps, of equal significance
might be named-are the 1st of May,
which will be the 261st anniversary of the
beginning of the residence of John Robin
son and his church in Ieyden; the Dist of
July, the 25Oth anniversary of the depart
ure of the Pilgrims from Leyden the
1G-1Sth Of September, very nearly the
25Oth anniversary day of the final depart
ureofthe Pilgrims from England for Amer
lea; and the 21st of Dec, the 25Oth ami
versary the landing the Pilgrims at Ply
month. 1t is proposed that the first and
third of these anniversary days be OBJ
served by the churches in hearing appro-
pirate disCOurses from theirrespectivep pas
tors, and by free-will offerings for the
promotion of the great objects for which
the Pilgrims suffered and labored. On the
second (the 21st of JULY it is proposed to
hold a National Convention at Chicago;
on the 21st of December, a general meet
ing at Plymouth.
This plan in substance, it is altogether
likely, will be adopted, after due consid-
Grafton and consultation, and the details
perfected, and the jubilee year made
memorable among the descendants of the
Pilgrims in reyiving the memory of their
virtues and sacrifices, and in the cOllec-
ton of funds for the benefit of the cause
for which they sacrificed themselves.

A sad affair in Manchester, Conn,
should be a warning to school teachers
against the possible dangerous consequence
of some punishments that seem perfectly
safe The story, as told by a cores
pondent of the Hartford COUrdnt, is, in
substance, that little girl, nine years old,
attending public school in Manchester,
having failed to recite her geography les
son on Thursday, was required on Friday
to repeat the lesson fol that day and the
day before. She failed again, and, as a
punishment, was required to stand on
the floor in a passageway, where there
was a draft of cold air, while
she learned it. She stood there for at
hour, and afterwards was compelled on
stand in the school room five hours
longer, till she learned Thursdays lesson,
and for an hour more trying to learn Fri
days, and was not released until some
time after the other scholars had been
sent home She is said to have been full
Of health and spirits on Friday morning,
but on Saturday her legs began to swell
and becoming delirious, trying to repeat
lesson which was the occasion of her pun
ishment, and begging of her teacher
leave to take her seat. After a few days
of this agony she died. An investigation
by the school committee was demanded
and held, the committee finding that the
teacher was guilty of an error in judg-
ment..

The two Houses of the Kentucky Legis-
lature passed the following to-day in regard
to the death Of Geo. D.. Prentice:
Whereas the death of Geo. d. Prentice
deprives the State of Kentucky of one of
her Oldest and best known citizens and re-
moves from the public press of the country
its most distinguished ornament; and
Whereas the universal regret which this
event inspires is shared by the representa-
tives of the people of Kentucky; and
Whereas some suitable recognition and
formal testimonial are suggested, not less
by the inclination of the moment than the
great services Of Mr.. Prentice to the liter

Resolved, By the General Assembly of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky, That
Henry Watterson, on account of his close
personal and professional relations with
Mr.. Prentice, and his intimate knowledge

quested to deliver memorial address at

for His Portrait and Return the
Medal Voted by Tennessee.
The following letter is made public in
Washington:
SAN Francisco, CAL, aDec. 81, 1863
To Hon. d. A. Nunn-Dear Sir: | re-
ceived your favor of the Goth yesterday,
and as am sure of your friendly feelings
toward me, have great pleasure in Civ
ing you my reasons for offering to refund
to the present legislature of Tennessee
the cost of the portrait of myself ordered
to be painted by the Legislature of 1865,
and removed from the library of the cap
itOl of your State.
will premise by stating that although
l regretted at the time the Legislature of
1866 had ordered, by joint resolution, a
portrait of me, TO be painted and placed
in the State Library, yet being convinced
it was done through motives of friend
ship and esteem, the joint resolution
having passed without my knowledge,
felt natural delicacy in declining a COM
pliment so unexpected, assured as | was
of the sincerity of the act.
From that day until the extraordinary
proceedings in the present Legislature, l
had been led to believe that the act of the
Legislature of 1866 had been generally
approved throughout the State On be
ing informed of those recent proce edings,
self-respect as well as proper apprecia-
ton of the act of the Legislature of 1866,
required that should relieve the mem
bers of the present Legislature from the
possibility of seeing disagreeable picture
every time they went into the State
library.
The same reasons impelled me to in
form the Speaker that | shall return the
medal as soon as l can get to New York,
where l had it deposited last spring, be
fore leaving the East TO assume duty on
this coast.
Now, let mo assure you that, in taking
the course have, disClaim any inten-
ton whatever to reject the compliment
extended to me by the Legislature of
1865, but simply wish to return to the
Legislature which repudiates this act, as
far as in my power to do so, compensa-
ton for what they seem to consider a
wrong perpetrated by former Legisla-
ture on the people of the State, in my be-
half. | am, very truly yours,

opinion of the Northern people.
1t had been asserted by gentle
men that the Government having freed
the negro and made him q citizen, it was
their duty to give him the franchise. This
he denied. But gentlemen said that there
WIS no danger of the 0,OOO controlling
go, 900. It was forgotten that a very
small party might hold the balance of
power. The speaker referred to human
nature, which, in a heated political cam
paign, would tend toward pandering to
the negro population. He felt sure that
if they adopted negro suffrage they
sounded the death-knell of this Govern
ment. He claimed that the Creator had
made distinction between the negro and
the white man. The negro was the in
ferior of the white man. They could
not declare things equal which God
had made unequal, without punishment.
The negro has had as long as the white
man to show what were his capacities
He had been in a country by himself, but |
had always proven to be a heather; can
nibal, with tendencies all in the retro |
grade. He urged the Convention to do |
right and regard the truth, whatever
might be the result. One reason why
this proposition should be submitted to |
the people separately was, that the people
never had had a vote on it at all. He
claimed that the action of the Convention
of 1866 was nullity
He did not believe that the Fifteenth
Amendment would ever be legally adopt
ed, but if the amendment were to be
adopted, what was the use in the CUES
ton being acted upon at all by the people
Of Tennessee. Let them wait awhile
AT this point the Convention adjourned.

typographical errors in our
