The WEEK IN WALL STREET wound up with
cheerful feeling in financial circles and con-
inued ease in money The bank statement
shows the effect Of the relief given the money
market by the Treasury, the gain in reserve
for the week having being over five millions.
The 'bulls" in stocks were happy over the
turn Of the market in their favor, and the pool
in Pacific Mail succeeded in advancing that
stock to 853. Gold was dull, and closed at
112t. The London market was quiet, with
the street rate up to a ST per cent, against
per cent. at the bank.

LET THE MEN BE PAID.-Now it is the
unfortunate Boulevard laborers who are con-
demned to wait indefinitely for the pay due
them a week ago yesterday. They have worked
for their money, harder and more faithfully,
probably, than some high in authority, whose
duty it Is to see that those who serve the city
are paid. These men mostly have families
who must be fed, housed and clad. Failure
to receive their pay when due reduces them to
the necessity Of asking credit at the corner
groceries. If they get it they are shaved to the
quick, and if they don't they and theirs must
suffer. For months past this style Of nonsense
has been going on. Small pipe men, large
pipe men, street cleaners, men of all kinds
twho do manual labor for the city, have applied,
in large and small delegations, at the Finance
Department for their overdue pay, and been
put of week after week. Comptroller Green
should understand he can gain no prestige as
q reformer by neglecting to pay these poor
men. 1t will neither satisfy their hunger nor
win their votes. During last week the City
Treasury received more than million dollars
of taxes That portion of that sum was not
applicable to pay the diggcrs and delivers of
the Boulevards is q serious fault and Q
discrace to our city government.

6t Lawrence to the glittering waves of the
Gulf of Mexico; from the windy waste OF
Coney Island to to the Golden Gate of the
Western Ocean; from the heart of the Union
TO its extremities;
From the centre all round to the sea.
in our cereals, plants, and fruits and roots of
all descriptions, we have reaped in each q
glorious harvest, and should be duly thankful
therefor TO the bountiful Giver of all our bless
ings as people
And in our manufactures of all kinds, from
the cotton mills of New England to the silver
mines of Nevada and the gold mills of Mari
posa; from the copper factories of Lake Supe-
rior to the iron works on the Susque-
hanna, we have had corresponding degree of
prosperity. Listen, for in . thousand busy
camps we hear them:-
Cangl clangt hundred anvils ring.
Clangl clangi hundred hammers swing;
Like the thunder rattle OF tropic sky
Their mighty blows still multiply.
Say, brothers asof of the S,snsi dusty brow.
What are your strong arms forging nows
They are forging ten thousand useful in
struments of civilization. And in our COM
mcrce the steamers alone which come and 60
within week at this great centre of the
worlds traffic reduce to bagatelle the trade
of Tyre and Carthage in all their glory. And
from point to point, east and west, along our
ocean coasts and from point to point on our
inland seas, we have at each the trade of an
empire. And in this comprehensive term
our commerce-we may include all foreign
and domestic exchanges Of every kind, and in
all, from our general prosperity during the
year since our last thanksgiving, we have an
abundant occasion to be devoutly thankful
We indulge the hope, therefore, in consider
alton Of the general prosperity which we have
enjoyed during the golden year which is pass
ing away-in consideration Of all the Provi-
Dental favors and fortunes which have fallen
upon us as people-that on Thursday, the
28th day of November next, we shall have the
most extensive and the most happily enjoyed
Thanksgiving Day, North, South, East and
West, and the most effective on behalf of Sec
tional reconciliation and harmony in the his
tory Of the United States.

PRINCE NAPOLEON BoNArARTE has yielded 10
the Theirs governmental order for his exile
from France and taken his departure from the
soil OF the Republic. His wife, the Princess
Clothilde, followed his example and accom-
panied him in his emigration. Agents of tho
Paris police compelled them to move. They
were escorted towards the frontier line by
French troops. President Theirs has made
complaint, it is said, to the King of Italy to
the effect that His Majestys Ambassador in
Paris sympathizes with party of Bonapartist
reactionists. The Plon-Plon affair may be
made interesting eventually.

THE BRITISH REVENUE. Chancellor Lowe
boasted in his recent speech in Glasgow that
he had taken off $4,000, 900 of taxes, and yet
the half years receipts of revenue would
reach FL, ,200, 900 more than in 1868, before the
reduction Of the tax. The half year to which
he alluded closed on the last of September,
and the Treasury returns more than bear out
the boast of its chief, the gain over the corre-
spending period Of last year being 2,353, BAL.
II will be perhaps more gratifying to Ameri-
cans than TO the British ratepayers to know
that Mr.. Lowe win have surplus next April
Of $4,000, 900, out Of which he can conven-
iently discharge the judgment the Geneva
arbitration awarded us, though the loyal sub
jects of the Grown may possibly grumble that
they are unnecessarily burdened to produce
this brilliant Treasury exhibit. The returns
certainly show healthy commercial activity
in the British realm, and that if 1t has an ex-
pensive form Of government there Is no pres
ent fear Of ON increase Of the national debt
The New York herald., 1872-10-13

The RUSSIAN MOVEMENT TOWARDS CHINA
The latest mail from British India, under
date Of September 3, supplies evidence of the
fact that the Russian imperial ruler still turns
his eyes in the direction Of the fertile terri
tory Of the Mongolian people which lies
adjacent to his own. We are told that four
officers Of the Russian army, attended by an
escort Of twelve men, had just visited Yarkand,
in Chinese Turkestan, where they were favor
ably received by the Governor Ataliq Ghazi.
The Russians had q look over the rich and
extensive plain by which they were sur
rounded and departed quietly and suddenly
as they came. Such movements do not escape
the notice Of the officials Of the Chinese
.'mpire proper. The same press files from
Ia. tell us that Chinese officers and troops
vere bns,.. engaged in repairing and rearm-
;nc .ho Talu ,..,rts, and we are made aware
generally Of the hs. that an uneasy feeling Of
snprehension of war cre,ails among the mill
tary men who serve the Chinese Emperor.
The subject is quite interesting, and the mill
tary-diplomatic strategy of the great empires
of China and Russia well worth the constant
attention Of the great outside Powers
Of the world, more particularly that of the
commercial populations Of the United States
and Great Britain.

nearly faultless as possible, is, after all, only
secondary consideration, according to modern
taste Obtrusive bungling would not be toll
Grated anywhere; but where there are appre-
citation and skill enough to blend the artistic
and mechanical effects into one harmonious
whole nothing more is demanded. A stutter-
ing Hamlet, lackadaisical Otheilo or feeble
Romeo would not satisfy any audience. nor
would mere burlesque of the part of Sir John
Falstaf be more satisfactory; but with the
boasting old villain well done and the perter
characters fairly represented, 'The Merry

REvoLUTIONIsT INsURRECTIONARY OUTBREAK
IN SpAN.-By kilograms from Madrid, which
reached us during yesterday, we are made
aware of the fact that the peace. of Spain
has been disturbed, and the government
Of King Amadeus alarmed, by the occur
renee of another incident in the series of revo-
lutionist insurrectonary outbreaks which have
SO agitated the Madrid royalty Of late days.
The Spanish troops serving in ordinary garri-
son at Ferrol have revolted against the Crown.
They have the aid of number of disaffected
persons, under the lead Of Senors Montijo and
Rojas. The garrison stationed inside the
fortress of the town Of Ferrol, with
the crew of war steamer on duty
at Majaredo, had been tampered with
as to their allegiance; but it is said that they
rejected the overtures Of the rebels. Despite
their loyalty, the insurgents obtained possess
sion of the gunboats, extinguished the light in
the Ferrol lighthouse and held the town barred
against the advance Of the Kings troops
The Cabinet acknowledged the facts in Par
lament, proclaiming at the same time the gov
ernmental official conviction that the trouble
some outbreak would soon be subdued. The
Alphonsista and republican members in
Cortes disavow the idea Of party political COM
plicity in the disaffection. There is little
doubt that Spanish soldiers and sailors will
restore order at Ferrol; but it is equally GER
tain that the recurrent application of military
irritants serves to keep alive a social sore
which may very soon gangrene almost the
whole body corporate 1. 9s Spain psv.-sr.sas-s

Der, by those terrible fires in the West, by one
Of which the beautiful city of Chicago was
nearly destroyed, and by others Of which in
the forests and prairies Of Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Iowa and Dakota, ex-
tensive districts were laid waste, many Ives
were lost, and thousands Of meep, women and
children were left destitute We did suffer "a
grievous and general calamity" This year we
are reminded, and we recall the great fact with
pleasure, that the immediate and widespread
sufferings and destitution resulting from those
Western fires reused the people of all the
nations Of the civilized world as band of
brothers in the fraternal work of relief. We
are reminded, too, that Chicago, this year, in
her special thanksgiving ION the anniversary
OF her great fire) has anticipated the Presi-
dents proclamation, and we rejoice that her
waste places are being so rapidly rebuilt that
soon the passing traveller will look in vain for
the track Of the sweeping conAagration.
The general prosperity Of our agricultural,
manufacturing and commercial interests
this year may well suggest national thanks
giving. From the hay meadows and potato
patches of Maine to the boundless wheat fields
Of the Sacramento and San joaquin basins,
where they count their wheat by thousands of
tons; from the olive groves and vineyards of
Los Angeles to the apple orchards of Oregon;
from the tobacco fields of Connecticut to the
rice plantations Of South Carolina; from the
sugar canes of the Atchafalaya to the cattle
ranges Of the Brazos; from the sweet potatoes
Of the "Old Dominion TO the cotton fields OF
! the Red River: from the flashing rapids Of the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1872-02-17


Lent is beginning to tell pretty effectually on
social affairs, and, notwithstanding that occa-
s,onal entertainments, both public and private,
are given, the gay season may be considered at
An end, or at least broken up until after Easter.
Most of the ladies IN society are at home to their
personal friends at almost any time, but stated
afternoon receptions are virtually given up, and
the number OF callers is very small compared
with the throngs to be seen on our streets only a
few days ago.
The social reception of the Maine state as
ISOLATION at Marini's hall last evening was one
of the pleasantest of its kind. The attendance,
which was quite large enough for comfort, in
cluded most of the children of Maine resident
or visiting here, with enough agreeable friends
recruited from other quarters to make the affair
cosmopolitan and thoroughly ENJOYABLE. One
feature OF the entertainment which cannot be
too much commended nor too often initiated
was the revival of the plain, Iold-fashioned
dances. The programmes which consist en-
tirely OF fancy dances are all very well for a
few later graduates OF the dancing academies
but they do not contribute materially TO the en-
joyment OF that other and larger class of parti-
cipants who furnish both the social and fnan-
cial basis for such occasions.
Last night the japanese charge d'afair,
held card reception at the Arlington, which
was attended by large and distinguished com
pany. The entertainment was an elegant one
in every respect, and the preparations made for
the refreshmeIit of the inner man were ample a.
to quantity and tempting as to quality.
"A very pleasant hop was INDUCED in last
evening by the guests at the National Hotel
As ii was rather an informal affair, the toilet.
were not SO elaborate as TO render them the fea
ture Of the evening, which was perhaps all thu
more enjoyable on that account.
Tonight Mr.. Horatio King and daughter
are at home in their pleasant way to their friend
and acquaintance, and on Monday evening tn,
Pennsylvania State Association holds a recep-
ton At Masonic Temple.
