The New York Tribune'-We call at
tention to the prospectus Of that old and tried
friend of Freedom, and of Progress, the New
", rk Tribune. Its reputati' as fearless and
inde lendent paper is we'll know every where
flom Maine to Timbuetoo. In addition to These
sterling qualities, its enterprise, as demonstra-
ted by the early publication Of authentic reports
from the theatre of war in Europe, is without
parallel in the history of journalism.
In regard to its advocacy of the present OPP
prSaaive tariff, we do not agree with the Trib-
HRs.
We deem the benefits accruing from that syG-
tenn, to the working-class of the country, to be
based on the Same system Of logic, as that by
which a learned thenogian demonstrated the
existence of a special Providence, from the fact
that the Of large rivers eas Usually a' pTor
: nifty TO the site of large cities.
In this case the cart is simply placed before
the horse, and we regard the Tri6mss conclu-
sious on the system of protection as being analo-
gous. large measure of prosperity, compari-
lively, prevails Throughout the vast regi ms un-
der this government, b ut that prosperity derives
its existense, not from this system of protection
but in opposition TO IT,

THE CHRISTMAS LIGHT.

IhE Vhh1O1mhh AANAA
BY LILY LARKsPUR.
The Christmas light
Is cleaning bright
In palace and cottage lows
And however OLD,
Or however cold,
All hearts grow warm in its glowJ
The bells so sweetly Ginning,
Are like a fairy's rhyming
Set TO music's softest How.
Who e'er we meet,
Who e'er we greet
Wear smiles Of happy ighti
And bright eyes glancej
And glad hearts dance
With pleasures pure delights
And childhood's laugh is ringing,
And happy voices singing
This merry Christmas night.
Each tree and flower,
Each bush and bower
Is touched by the winters blighti
But we give no thought
To the change that's wrought,
For within 'tis gay And bright.
And music sweet Is flowing
On the chilly breeze that's blowing
Out in the soft starlight.
May we keep our hearts warm
Through the winters storm,
And follow the peaceful glow
or the star OF light
That shone so bright
Hundreds of years ago;
Whose birth we are faithfully keeping,
With each Christmas morn that comes
creeping
Ger happy world below.

the matter was amicably settled. The pri-
mary cause of the difficulty was a criticism
of the Democratic Executive Committee
which appeared in the Appeal a day or
two since, signed by Phelan, and conse-
quent denunciatory card by Brizzolara in
the Evening SIN of the same day.

LATEsT-THE DUEL FOUGHT.

MEMPHIS, June ga duel was fought
this afternoon on the Arkansas shore,
miles below, between George r. Phelan
and James BriZzolara, two young LAWYERS of
Memphis, with Colts navy repeaters, at 10
yards, resulting in BriZzolara's being shot
in the left breast and arm, perhaps fatally,
on the second round. The difficulty grew
out of structures of Phelan on the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, of which
Brizzolara was member. The affair pro-
duces great excitement.
