The Rupture between the President and
Senator Sumner.
Special Despatch to The EUening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Dec. GA determined effort ia
the Foreign Relations Committee reorganized so as
to get rid OF SUMNER Schurz, and Patterson. The
allegation the part OF the President and his
friends in the Senate is that the committee, as at
present constituted, is against the administration,
and that the President cannot carry out his foreign
policy, and, in fact canno; have any foreign policy
except such as will meet the approval OF the men,
bers OF the committee.
If an attempt is made TO remove SUMNER it will
likely result in permanent division in the Republi-
can party in the Senate. There are certain Sena-
tors who regard the attempt to degrade Sumner az
relations TO the administration. Sumner is good
deal surprised at FOrney's letter to General Bah
cock about the interview at Summers house. which
appears in the newspapers this morning. He saws
FOrney is entirely mistaken, and that he should not
have written such letter without first consulting
him.
The President and Secretary Boutw elf.
Owing TO Summers relations with Boutwell, there
are stories again revived to-day that Boutwell, is
about resign. 1t is stated that several notes on
the subject of Summers speech passed between
Grant and Boutwell, yesterday, the result OF which,
it s alleged, was Boutwells resignation. Both
Boutwell, and the President deny that there is any

Friday, Dec %, 1870. !
The local money market is comparatively
quiet and very steady at last quotations The
business demand is merely nominal, and will
probably continue SO for a few weeks, as no
revival is anticipated until after the holidays.
The outflow of currency to the interior is ex-
ceptionally light for this season, and the supply
at the banks for local purposes is ample, but ali
classes of lenders are very cautious in their
operations. We quote call loans at 516@6%
per cent, and choice paper at 7@9 per cent.
The gold market continues without special
feature. Sales ranged from 1105S to 11O1&.
Government bonds improved fraction in
price, but there is very little doing.

show little change. City 6s new bonds sold at
99$l, and at 100$l for the ante-war issues

Hanging In the Air.

at the new brick block of Wallace &
Cunning, on Main street, in this place on
Monday afternoon, there was scene of
more thrilling and fearful interest than it
is usual in the life OF man TO witness In
raising heavy material from the ground to
the top of the building rope and pulley
were used, and to assist in the raising of
the articles heavy weight of tin was at
tached to the end of the rope, which stops
at the top next to the pulley. On the day
mentioned, a little girl of about eight
years old was innocently pulling and
swinging on the rope, when, by successive
movements of the weight which was rest
ing on the platform above, it was moved
off its resting place. Being much the
heavier, the weight began the descent, and
rapidly took the playful girl from off the
ground, and thence 10 the top of the
building, forty.five or more feet high.
The weight struck the ground, and the lit
tie girl dangled from the other end in ter
rible and alarming danger of sudden
fall. The people near heard her cries as
she began TO ascend, and in painful won
der ran to the scene, alarmed and almost
paralyzed with fear to see so young, so
tender, so weak being hanging only
by the muscular effort of her slen-
der arms and tender fingers so high in
the air, suspended over stone, lumber
and other debris of new building.
The workmen were loudly called
upon to go to the roof, but they knew
not what meant this calling them by
the numerous voices on the streets below.
They looked out of the second floor win
dows, and for some time it was difficult to
get them to understand what was wanted
of them. In the meantime the situation
of the young girl was alarming, and strong
men turned pale as death which seemed
ready to take the child. Her tender hands
not being used to 30 rough hold,
her physical strength began to give way.
She began slipping, slipping down, nearer
minutes had elapsed since she began as
cending, and now exhausted nature could
hold out but little longer. Such suspense
was painful. The excited crowd below
cheered the girl as best they could, while
anxiously did they watch for help from
off the roof, and it came Just in time-a
few seconds longer and the child would
fall. What suspense, and then what
relief to those almost breathless specta.
tors, when the strong arm reached out and
rescued the fainting girl from the impend-
ing fall She is lifted away from her
slender hold and is telling to the gaping
children the wonderful exploit which
struck terror to the strongest heart,
turned pale faces that were not used
thereto, and, no doubt, she will never for
get the incident, nor will those who saw
the scene.-FittS6urgh Gdzette.

A lesson for Farmer Boys.

THE first aud main step toward obtain
ing a competency of ten, twenty, or fifty
thousand dollars, is the securing of one
thous and; the chief difficulty in getting
the one thousand is in obtaining the first
hundred and keeping it. Hackneyed as
this may appear, it is fact that is ever
new, and one that ever needs to be drum
med into the ears of the struggling mil
lions who work hard and look with strain
ing Visio9, but in vain, for the coming OF
plentiful days. And especially does this
homely philosophy OF wealth need to be
emphasized at the present time, and i'm
pressed upon heyoung men of this gener-
alton, since the prevalent tendency, now
more than ever before, is for beginners
in married or business life 10 adopt such 9
scale of personal and family expenditure
as must render thrift impossible. The
youth of our time seem likely to forget
that easy circumstances in middle or ma
ture age are, as a rule, only 10 be purchas
ed at the cost of rigid self-denial in ear
lier years. The son and daughter are
ambitious to begin life where their parents
left off-in other words they wish to reap
where they have not sown, or before they
have sown, and the result is, lives OF make
shift, anxiety and failure Most OF those who
are really industrious, anS yet hnd them
selves at the noon &C 'if- with only theil
daily efforts between :" fa-1 les ant
want, could have beenl, mtorta
BILE circumstances, had the. + srneC
the lesson that the key to ytency
lies in the practice OF rigid economy a
the OUTSET OF lie.
He who does not begin 10 save when h,
commences life for himself will rarely be
gin az all, for where not even the nucleu
of modest fortune has been early &C
quired, family expenses will, after a time
grow as fast as the income, and the tw'
keep abreast ever atterward.

Seven Rules for Teachers.

see obeyed.
