NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3. 1871

Mop, the Skye terrier, at their heels; and
they could even see the green wreaths fes-
TONED inside the mullioned windows. On
the other side lay the Ashley farm lands,
then the beautiful. valley, the blue Mersey
and the Cheshire hills beyond. and tar of
to the right cloud of smoke-the only blot
on the clear sky-showed Liverpool.
"Fenwick tells me" said Tom, rather sud-
denly, "that Ashley farm is for sale, and do
you know, Laura, have an idea of giving
up New Zealand and settling down here {"
"Oh: Tom, do; how charming" began
Laura; but something in Toms manner
stopped her as he came and stood before
her. and, looking into her face, said gravely:
Laura, it is for you to decide. | have
loved you all my lite. If you will marry
me we will live here if not 1 shall go back
to New Zealand in the spring. What shall
it be T.
There was deep silence, broken only by
the cawing of the rocks and the whistle Of
distant train; then she lifted her blue
eyes to his face with u chiid!ike look Of
perfect trust, and, taking her right hand
from her muff, she put it into his broad
palm and said, simply:
Tom, stay"
Neither Of them, fancy, will ever forget
their walk home from church that Christ
mas day; and before they got back to the
grange two things, at least, were settled to
Laura's entire satisfaction: Her theory
about Fanny MajOribanks was exploded
forever, and she knew to a certainty for
whose sake it was that Tom Ferrars went
to New Zealand.

Mrs. Charles MOult0n.

This LADY, will give her first concert here
next Thursday evening, at Odd Fellows
| Hall. The New York Season says Of this
new candidate for musical honors:
She is still young-indeed, is one of that
rare class of American girls which does not
grow old; and although she is young in
heart and feeling. Her personal appear
ance is decidedly prepossessing, and in that
respect she at least has nothing to lose in
comparison with the most gifted singers
who are now, or who have been most prom
inently before the public for many years.
She has an irresistible vivacity, wit, amia-
bility and eloquence Of expression, with de-
natural and graceful adaptation of charac-
ter and costume to place and circumstance
which lends peculiar charm to her pres
ence in the concert room, and invests her
with magnetism which draws her auditors
into immediate and entire sympathy with
her. In the scale of merit Mrs. Moulton has
few equals and fewer euperiors, among the
most gifted of the favOfites who have be-
come famous in song; indeed, it is difficult
to institute any comparison of her powers
with those of any others who have been be-
fore the public, as her gifts are peculiar to
herself in a great, degree, and she is, as an
artist, inimitable. Her voice is extremely
sweet, and marvellous in its tenderness and
sensibility; and, withal, she has soul Of
fire and power of emphasis which rounds
into completeness the scope of her capabili-
ties. The events Of the past year in France
have wrought such changes that Mrs. Moul-
ton has deemed it best to reture to her
native land, and, by the exercise of her
wonderful gifts Of melody, secure for her
children such a future as her loving heart
fondly desires for them, in that land where
her own childhood was happily spent, and
which is still dearer to her than the most
attractive centres of art and ati1uence on
foreign shores.

Wonders of TattoQing.

There is now exhibiting in medical circles
in Vienna, SAYS the British Medical Journal
a remarkable instance of tattooing Of the
whole body. According to his own account,
the man, a Greek by birth, had been a
pirate, and had also carried on brigandage
on the continent Seven years ago he and
five companions were taken prisoners bv
one of the wild. tribes Of Asia. Three of
them were put to death. but this man. with
two others, was preserved alive, and liter
ally tattoOed over the entire body. The
operation lasted two months, and was per-
formed by six men. who each day operated
on different parts of his body. The pro-
ceeding caused horrible pain, and his two
companions died under the treatment His
body is covered from head to foot with de-
lineatiOns of men. animals and fabulous
things. The coloring material used for the
figures appears to be indigo, the ground,
especially on the chest and abdomen. being
vermilion; here and there, about a lines
breadth of the normal color OF the skin can
be seen. The hands and the soles of the
feet ale colored red, but have no figures.
On the face and neck are Inscriptions in
characters resembling Arabic. The skin
has the general appearance to the sight and
touch, of blush gray velvet. He attends
the General Hospital in Vienna, and Profess
sor Hebra, who showed him to his class a
few days ago, has had him photographed in
various attitudes.

Stay Whore You Arc.

As q general rule, the best place for a
young man to begin lite lie right where he
is. He need not 60 q hundred or three
hundred, or thousand miles away from
home to try the world; that particular spot
where he lives is q part of the world, and
particular spot three hundred miles of. In
the Eastern States where society is settled
and things change but little, kwhere the
business is held in fixed chant and GER
tain families are supposed to have pre-
scriptive right to do everything that ia
dOne-there is not much inducement for
young man to remain at home, unless he
break through the tradition that hampers
him. But no such condition of things exists
out West here everything is new, fresh
and plastic, and young man may do his
part in Wondering things to bis purposes.
It is a very common mistake for youngsters
who have not yet butted their tender heads
against the hard angles of the world. to
h i they only had an opportunity to e1-
If they live on farm, there is no chance
to show their genius; if they live in

and imagine there is the field for them to
rise to eminence and wealth; and yet they
had better stay right where they are, and
make their beginning in the locality where
they were raised. If they really possess
genius or special aptitudes, they may first
develop them, and test the metal they are
made of, in the limited sphere of their
native place. and if the experiment proves
afterward transfer them to a
wider sphere of action. Thousands Of

and learn too late that 1t would have been

them with any very high opinion of his
character, and he has given no redeeming
promise of great talents which would make
him beloved and able occupant of the
British throne. 1t is, indeed, difficult to
forecast the exact result if such an event
should occur at the present time. If the
prince dies, the heirship to the throne
| would, of course, descend to his eldest son,
| Prince Albert Victor Christian Edward,
who was born at Frogmore Lodge, Windsor,
| on the eighth Of January, 1864, and is con-
| sequently now nearly eight years old. The
law Of succession to the British throne pro-
vides that the crown shall descend to the
direct lineal male heir. The chances of the
brothers OF the Prince of Wales to inherit
the throne are, therefore, very slender
Between Prince Alfred, the queens second
son, and the crown, there stand five lives,
only one OF the Prince of Wales six children
having died, and the chance of male child
rem to Prince Albert Edward, the younger.
Two sons and three girls are still alive to
the Prince OF Wales, aud it is hardly proba-
BILE that they will all die prematurely.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the imme-
date effect OF the death of the Prince of
Wales, at this time, would be to postpone
the rumOred intention of the queen to abdi-
cate the throne, which she would in that
event, most likely keep until the infant
heir apparent should reach manhood.
onOulO she, however, persist in her purpose
to resign the cares of state, or should she
herself die, regency would necessarily be
the result, unless unforeseen circumstances
should step in at that critical juncture and
materially modify affairs in Great Britain.
If regency should be established, it would
scarcely be very popular. The Duke of
Cambridge, who enjoys an unenviable repu-
tation, or Prince Alfred, whose visit to Aus
tralia developed many very unpopular traits
OF character, would probably be appointed
regent. Either selection would be very un-
acceptable to the English people. What
would be the ultimate result, it is, of course,
vain to conjecture; but there is a strong
and powerful movement in England toward |
a republican form of government, which |
would, perhaps, see its opportunity in the
unpopularity of the regency. The revola-
ton, we believe, would be peaceful one;
very different from the spectacle which has |
been SO frequently presented in France |
If the prince should recover. such a change |
as indica ted may be postponed for some
years; but that it will take place before a
son of Albert Edward reaches the throne,
there can scarcely be doubt.

Alexis Closely Guarded.

We copy the suhjoned dispatch from a
Western paper:
NEW YORK, November 29-Prior to the
arrival OF Alexis, Minister Catacazv, appre-
bending violence from disatfected Poles, en-
gagged detectives to watch the movements
Of prominent Poles in this city. There are
about three thousand Poles in the city,.and
nearly all belong to one of four societies.
Detec ives claim that several months ago
they knew of a bitter feeling existing and a
possibility of an attempt to assassinate the
grand duke on his arrival, but admit the
more respectable members of the Polish or
CARNATIONS bitterly opposed this scheme
Every precaution has been taken since the
dukes arrival to secure him against such an
attempt. When he landed three detectives
guarded him. At the serenade they were
near at hand, and they are now living at
the Clarendon. When he went to Washing
ton he was accompanied by his three guardi-
ans, who will also go with him to Philadel-
phia and Boston. They will continue to &C,
company him until he shall re-embark for
Russia.

"Reminiscences of the sumter Surrender

| "Reminiscences of the Sumter Surrender r.
From the Savannah Republican.
The writer Of this, by invitation of Cap
tain Hartsteine, who had command of the
evacuation ceremonies at Sumter, was
present on that interesting occasion, .j,l-
bilee on water never before witnessed in
this country. We came out of the fort with
its commander, and subsequently in the
pilOthOuse of the steamer General Clinch,
to which he anu his command were first
transferred, had long and pleasant inter
view with the vanQushed soldier. He
sprung up between the government and his
native South. His situation as Southern
man had been more trying, but he con-
sidered the highest obligation upon him was
to his feelings. He declared to us that no
circumstance could have induced him to
tire upon his fellow-cOuntrymen except in
defense
The first shot came from them. and was
directed at the flag which he was put there
to protect; hence no alternative was left
him. We inquired what would he his pol
icy when he reached Washington. He re-
piled that all his labors should be on the
side Of peace. In any event he had no
heart, he said, for war upon his own coun-
trymen. and he never did again enter the
field. We inquired Of Major Anderson why
he abandoned Fort MOultrie after his posi-
tive engagement with committee of South
CarOlinians not to leave it. His reply was
that mutual obligations were entered into
he to remain, and the Carolinians not to
disturb him while in possession of the fort
He believed those who gave the assurance
acted in good faith but they could not con-
troll others. He left Fort Moultrie under re-
liable information that, without the consent
of the authorities of Carolina, a plot had
been formed in Charleston by the more i'm
pulsive portion of the population to attack
the fort in the rear. He had unauestion-
able evidence that such an expedition was
On foot, and. believing that the work was
not defensib'e, he evacuated it and trans
ferred his garrison to Fort Sumter

The Prince Of Wales.

We copy this from the Washington Pa
triot:
The ominous reports, by the cable, of the
precarious health of the Prince of Wales,
has, naturally enough, set many people on
both sides Of the Atlantic thinking as to
what would be the result if his present
critical condition should terminate in
death. Although the Prince of Wales is in
the very prime of life, his constitution has
been subjected to the enervating influences
which are incident to "free and easy"
sort of life, such as, according to common
report, the prince has been leading for sew
eral years past. Aside from these chances
against his recovery, is that the malady
from which he is now reported to be suffer
ing seems to be much the same type as that
which carried off his father while still com
paratively young man. Prince Albert, it
will be remembered, died, after an illness
of few hours duration, of gastric fever
For all that, it is. of course, very probable
that the prince may survive; but it is not
improbable that he may not. In the latter
event, to Judge from the tone of even the
conservative English journals, his demise
would not be greeted with extravagant re-
grets BY the English people.
His life has not been such a. to inspire

"HENRY j. RAYMOND

The eclipse of the sun of December ~
will not be visible in the Western hemis-
phere. The line of totality commences in
the Indian ocean, ON the coast of HindOstan,
near Bombay, and thence passes east in a
great circle over Sumatra, Java. New
Guinea. through the islands of the Pacific
and terminates on the equator in mid ocean.
To speak more accurately. the central
eclipse begins in longitude sixty-one de-
grees east of Greenwich and In latitude six
teen degrees north, and ends generally in
longitude one hundred and seventy eight
degrees west of Greenwich and latitude
zero. The sun and moon will be in apparent
conjunction for three hours and twenty
three minutes, although the period of actual
total obscurity at any one point of the
earths surface will be but few minutes.
