CoSFIRMED.-In confirmation of
the truth OF the pleasant story OF .
Yankees visit 10 the Emperor of
Russia, published on the first page
Of this paper, we have since run
across the following paragraph:
ga very pleasant incident in con-
neetion with the visit of the Grand
Duke of Russia to the Massachusetts
Historical Society rooms is reported
by the Boston Tr0reLer. just as the
party were leaving, Admiral Pois-
set took from his pocket small en-
velope aud handed 1t to Mr.. Win
throp, saying that, perhaps, the con-
tent . would be OF sufficient interest
to entitie them to place In fhs 3d.

The Puritan prejudice against
Christmas day has. says the Irf6-
une, not yet been entirely abated
but the Observance of this chief of
holidays has now become SO gener-
al that one newspaper, as nearly
Puritan as any journal can be this
year of our Lord, proposes that
Christmas shall be kept as q festival,
but not as a religious festival COM
memorative OF the Savior's birth
kept, in fact like New Years
day, Thanksgiving day, or we sup
pose, the Fourth of July or the
Seventeenth of June. 1t is rather
too late to make q change like this.
For nearly nineteen hundred years
Christmas has been dedicated to q
specific remembrance, and except
as the anniversary which it profess
es to be, it would be hard to assign
any reason for keeping il at all. 1t
has been abused, and SO has the
Sabbath; but this Is no. sufficient
reason for ignoring its central idea.
It may be. fouhded upon q myth,
but, having gathered about it o thou
sand poetical associations, perhaps
1t will do no harm, in this prosaic
world, to go on believing in It to
the end. Besides, there are enough
days set aside for'caro usals already.

THE subject Of Silicon steel, to which we
sometime since made reference, continues
to engross the attention of manufacturers,
and it seems not improbable that it may
ultimately to q considerable extent revolu-
tionize the manufacture of iron and steel
Ii it shall have the effect Of releasing con-
sumers from the exorbitant charges for
foreign rails alone, the discovery will be Of
~incalculable benefit to the country. 1t is
claimed that, while six hours are consumed
by the Bessemer process, with costly ma
chimes, only one hour is required by this,
with no additional machinery to that used
for manufacturing common iron. Besscmer
rails cost from eighty to a hundred dollars
per ton here, while it is said that Silicon
rails, guaranteed to possess greater strength
and hardness than any other steel, can be
furnished at from twenty-five to thirty dol
lars. Silicon iron is also said to be of a
perfectly pure, fine, tough, fibrous charaet-
er, equal to the best Norway OF Swedish,
and having more than twice the tensile
strength Of common American iron, at no
| greater cost.

BRICK POMEROY.

Pomeroy's Democrat was for several
years after the war the most largely circu-
lated of any Northern paper in the South.
Brick was a hero, and in clover; he had
endorsed the murder of Lincoln, and was
in favor of a new war. He now appears
as a leader in the Bolter's Convention as il
is called in Baltimore, associated with Col.
Mosby, Gen. Wise, and eminent Virginians.
Suddenly the Democratic press turn upon
him. The Dispath of this morning calls
him a Yahoo. We don't know what that
means. but it has an unpleasant sound, and
we fear was not designed to be compliment
tary. We are sorry for poor Brick, but it
is a cheering sign to see him properly valu-
ed by those who once used him for base
purposes.

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.

The nomination of Mr.. Greeley by the
Democratic Convention to-day, is one Of
the most remarkable political events in his
tory. If we mistake not, it opens a new
epoch in the politics of this country. By
the selection of Mr.. Greeley, the Democrat
ic party confesses the error of its position
for the last twenty years. Its leaders alb
dictate, and permit a new man, protesting
principles radically opposite to its own to
occupy the highest place in their party.
They come with loud acclaims, bringing
their highest honors to him who has been
their life long enemy. Upon no one Of the
great issues which have con1ulsed the
country for the last twenty years has he
changed. He is the same staunch defender
of American industry against Democratic
Free Trade. He is pledged to the protec-
ton of American Labor by a life of earnest
advocacy. He is the same stern foe as
ever of the ultra doctrine Of State Rights,
as held by the modern Democracy. He
believes in the unity of the nation, and its
power and duty to protect the citizens every
where. He endorses the Ku-klux legislation,
and all essential means used to make person.
al and political rights. secure throughout the
whole country. Whatever measures are
urged against the Republican party by its
opponents, have, almost without exception,
received his earnest support. lie is the
most bitter implacable foe of the modern
Democratic party, and all its professions
and ~pretentions.
Yet this same Democracy with a minority
unexampled in the treatment of its W
faithful adherents (; with an enthusiasm
unknown in its ranks for many years /;
with an impotence that spurns restraint,
surrenders itself without reserve to the
great leader of its traditional foes. 1t turns
away with scarcely an expression of regret
from its own tried leaders, and enlists for
the Presidential contest without conditions,
under a new banner, with a new chief,
whose voice has mustered the hostile legions
for forty years, and whose potent will, did
more than any other to procure their hnal
and disgraceful defeat. 1t is wonderful

A NEW AMERICAN SINGER.

Amidst the profuse and often scryile
adulation of foreign artists, from which
even the Jubilee people were not wholly
free, it is quite refreshing to see a recogni-
ton of American talent. We are glad to
notice the intelligent appreciate on given by
the most competent members of the press
to the splendid endowments of Miss Marie
Benchly, Of Providence, one Of the boquet
of American artists, at the Jubilee. We
had the pleasure of hearing her On the
same day with Madame Leutner and other
celebrities, in that magnificent temple of
music, the Coliseum. Miss B. nobly sus-
tanned the reputation of our country. She
puts on no airs, and resorts to no stage
tricks. She sings ballads as her speciality,
and every word is clear-cut and distinct as
a coin. She has a voice of marvellous
sweetness and power, which has been
brought into perfect control by severe and
persistent training under the best teachers.
To this she adds the charms of a fine per-
son, a gifted mind, and a noble heart. She
has just closed her musical studies, and
will appear in public soon. We hope to
hear her in Richmond. MIR. Godfrey, the
powerful leader of the English band, ex-
pressed his unqualified opinion that Miss
B. is destined to become one of the bright.
est stars in the musical armament. HI
has dedicated one of his new waltzes to her
She is an honest and faithful artist, free
from the Alterations and shams which
mar so many really talented singers, ant
we predict for her a brilliant success.
