Celebration Of tho Sixteenth Ann1ver.
' sary OF the Prayer Mecting-Aadresses
by DIR. McCosh, of Princeton College,
2 and Other Eminent Divines.
"From Twelve O'Clock until halEpast twelve, on
September 20, 1851" so says Dr. Irmens, in his
'Power OF Prayer" "a single man watched and
prayed in q third story room Of the consistory
building Of the North Dutch church. This man was
Mr.. Lamphier, the father OF the Fulton street Noon
Prayer Meeting, who yesterday had the pleasure
OF seeing and celebrating the sixteenth anniver-
sary OF the institution OF his hand, which, in the
interim has grown in dimensions and power
sixteen hundred-fod. From the small beginning
OF one person the Fulton street Noon Prayer Meet
ing has become an institution orpower and an
instrument OF good. Many and many
poor, unfortunate man and woman
who, In the cold winters days have wandered into
the prayer meeting to warm their trembling limbs
have found warmth for their souls. and under its
genial influence they have budded into righteous
ness and borne the fruits of religious charity. the
work OF the prayer meeting has not been cramped
by the limited confines of the meeting room, for 1T
has distributed pamphlet and tracts throughout
the country, and has received during it's existence
about one million applications Tor prayers.
The immense Concourse OF people that collected
in the North Dutch church yesterday noon attested
that the interest and faith in the prayer meet
ing" has not diminished one whit. The body and
galleries OF the church were yesterday crowded to
sufocation by an eager congregation, greedy to
hear all that was to be said about and for the
''prayer meeting" by the eminent divines who
were announced to speak.
at twelve O'Clock the
REV. DIR. M'CosH, OF PRINCETON COLLEGE,
who had been appointed leader, rose and said a
prayer after which he spoke in eu0gistlc terms OF
the 'prayer meeting" and the grand results 1t had
worked.
TIE REV. WILLIAM VAN NEST
was the next speaker, and he told at length OF the
inception OF the religious enterprise of Its progress
and present standing. He recOnnted the number
less ana wonderful conversions that had been per-
formed through the agency OF the 'prayer meet
ing" and finished his remarks with an eloquent
hope that the good work would 60 on and receive
in the future, as 1t had In the past, the blessed
benediction and sanction OF the God OF Hosts.
..1 THE REV. W. EOYT, d. D..
followed in short address in the same spirit as
that OF Mr.. Van Nest. Messrs. Dewitt and Robin
son also made short addresses In which they
spoke in the highest terms OF the meeting its In

TIE EXCITEMENT IN TRENTON.

The excitement over the financial panic in Tren-
ton, N. j., was much abated yesterday There was
no hustle on the streets and the people seemed to
be impressed with the opinion that the storm has
blown over, and that there no serious cause for
alarm. The Trenton banks are believed TO be all
solvent and in a condition to meet their ordinary
demands. An offlcial Of the Mechanics National
Bank stated that he was In receipt OF a commune

Creole Women.

The Creole woman is prettier than the
French woman. There is a climatic in
fuence in America which refnes features
and gives delicacy to the complexion.
This is especially the case in Louisiana,
where finely-formed women are often
found to be the descendants of ignoble-
looking ancestors. The light olive tint
of the woman seems to have been painted
over a ground color of blushing lake, and
this pinkish creaminess of the skin saves
it from dullness and sallowness. In a
word, there is something of that trans
parency for which painters are always
seeking. She inherits from her mother
over the sea the physical characteristics
of round limbs and delicate extremities,
with figure something slighter-another
effect of climate, also that sense of art
with which people are born, but never
can entirely acquire. From the same
source come her coquetry and her grace
of speech and action, but modified. She
does not wearcr colors or awry shapes ;
nor does she express herself with unseen
ly gesture or discordant tones. Her
dress is rather somber than gay, and her
carriage simple and conventional, for
they all walk alike. Smoothness and
graceful propriety are hers. In word,
there is an absence of angles in her gen.
eral conduct-Angust Galaxy.

Trial of the First Civil Rights
Case i'm New York.
From the Albany Journal Republican,

From the Albany Journal (Republican).
Aaron Richardson, proprietor and
manager of the opera-house, was placed
on trial in the court of sessions yester-
day afternoon, on an indictment charg-
ing him with misdemeanor in violating
the provisions of what is known as the
civil rights BILL Anna Lawyer, Marga-
ret Payne, John F. Payne and Michael
Meehan were examined on the part of
the people, their evidence mainly going
to show that Payne's servant, Lawyer,
had been sent by him, accompanied by
his children, who were almost white, to
the box-office of the opera-house and pro-
cured seats down stairs, representing they
we're for the parents of the children; and
that on Payne presenting the tickets at
the door they we're refused admission and
told that there was place for them in
the gallery.
The defense claimed that the tickets
were procured by false representations.
Mr.. r. w. Peckham, Jr., appeared for
the accused, and Mr.. n. G. Moak for the
people. The case was given to the jury
about six o'clock In the evening they
came in and, reporting they were unable
to agree, were discharged. They stood
ten for acquittal and two for conviction.
The two jurors who held out for convic-
ton, it is said, have always been noted
alb litionists.

An American Girl Captures an
Italian Captain.
From the American Register


On the 10Th ult., at the Church of the
Madeleine, Paris, Miss Mary Peck, of
Hartford, Conn, was married to the
Cav. Giovanni Danesi, of Turin. The
witnesses for the bride Mr.. Washburne,
United States Minister, and Mr. Rich
ard Willis, of New York for the bride
groom, Count de Roye and Count de Co
Leblanc, of the Italian Legation in Paris,
formerly Charge dAffaires in Washing
ton. A very pleasant spectacle of Amer
lean and Italian unity was that offered
by the stately pair as they stood before
the high altar of the Church, the center
of semicircle of fair women and hand
some men, who filled the immediate
front Of the sanctuary. The bride,
whose toilet was pronounced by those
competent to judge of such matters, to
have been of exceeding taste and ele-
fortune, was still more distinguished by
her intellectual gracefulness and amia-
bility of manners, which are joys in any
woman, and should make the husband a
very happy man. The bridegroom comes
from military family. His father was
a colonel, and two of his uncles lieuten-
ant-generals in the Italian army. One
of them died last year.
Capt. Danesi made all the late Italian
campaigns, was severely wounded at Sol
ferino, had several military orders for
his gallantry on the field, and still holds
the rank of honorary captain in the ar
my. During the war he went to the
United States as an interested spectator
of our great struggle, and served for
some months as a major of cavalry.
Present at the marriage ceremony and
at the subsequent reception were Mrs.
Henry Barnard, of Hartford, who ma
tronized the bride; Mrs Richard Willis,
we'll known in New York society, and
much admired for her personal loneliness
and sweet manners Countess Stephanie
de la Pagerie, name pre-emine1t and
honored among the European aristocra-
cy; Countess de Roye, one of the most
beautiful and accomplished ladies of
Paris Count Tanza, military attache of
the Italian Legation at Paris; Mrs.
Thompson, of New York, and her fair
daughter and many others.

public Prayers.

The undue length of most exempore
prayers has long been SQUIRE of i'll
feeling between the clergy and laty. A
spirit of compromise In the mattr is de-
sirable; and it may be noted as sign of
the times that news writer in he Dun
dee Advertiser AYERS that in Lon1on the
Presbyterian divines have latelyshorten-
ed their prayers. and one of then, who
also boldly abolished the aftelsermon
petition, found his congregation charged
twenty per cent. cannot volch for
this alleged result, plausible it Certainly
seems; and those who are curiols about
its probability, and who are in position
to do so, would perhaps confer favor,
temporary or permanent as the ose may
be, by making the experiment them
selves. The wide discrepancy between
the lay and the clerical view If what
constitutes a long prayer, is perhaps
partly due to the difference of physical
attitude between preacher end cmgrega-
ton; for he, with head up, st,nds or
kneels at ease, breathing freely, and his
duty itself may cause the time 10 pass
rapidly; while they bow in constrained
attitudes, and in some churches have no
responses to make; and few are guilty
of the rudeness and irreverence Of steal
ing limited, furtive chances at The ami
mated scene of fashion that engages their
attention during the other part of the
service.
However, long windedness In prayer
does not always spring from vlnity or
volubility. These faults do occur, and
as simplicity and fervor please US, so POM
posity and self-satisfaction- DISCUS; still,
the majority of long prayers are proba-
bly, not due to the minister's love of !
hearing himself talk, but to an inability |
to centre the mind. Absence of mind is |
perhaps the besetting sin of public
A congregation yawns
under person whose chief theme IS "thy
servant Of DID," who drones through Il
meaningless set of perfunctory phrases,
prefaced by that extraordinary "thou |
knowest;" who offers as a prayer a patch
work of trite quotation who ignores in
his listless supplications anything later
than the first century of our era. AS his
cold, formal utterances mechanically roll
out through the dreary old grooves,
people are bored with monotony. A
man half asleep, or distract, takes twice
as long to express an idea, as when he is
wide awake and alert. Sometimes we
ind a prayer-maker whose mind rambles
he more easily because his professional
lexterity extricates him out of the most
involved sentences, from
which he starts and RECEIVERS, as one mods
md catches himself with jerk when
sleepy; and after the regular round has
been made, the sick and the absent spo-
zen of, and the various missionaries
checked off, he bounds through the ira
litional closing phrases at accelerated
peed, like clockwork running out, and,
'pening his book, in a changed and
heery voice, and to universal relief-his
,wn most of all-gives out the hymn.-
Philip Quilibet, in August Galaxy.

For some time past, there have been cur
rent, indefinite, butyet undenied, rumors OF
the serious illness of Vice President Wilson.
The latest Information we have is in rather
more authentic shape, AMI confirms all we
have hitherto published concerning the sad
state of Mr.. Wilson. His condition is really
alarming, although it is possible he may
cling to life for months or even years to
come. But however that may be, paraly sis
has so Frustrated his system that his health
and his days of active usefulness are un-
doubtedly gone forever.
Henry Wilson has been cold, egotisticai
selfish and straight-laced character, but it
may be said in his favor that he is Cor was
when he was one in the busy world of men)
as kindly and well meaning as it is possible
for that type of New Englander to be. AS
to the Credit Mobflier frauds, we are of
opinion that he had no guilty connection
with them that, whether or not he was in
cOrruptible, he was at least incorrupt. His
political career has been remarkable, and E,
in view OF his deficient advantages at the
outset of life, he may be denominated very
successful man.
His original name was Jedediah Coleath.
The name of Henry Wilson was adopted by
him in later years as that of a gentleman
who had been kind to him in his youth.
He was born of very poor parents, at
Pennington, n. H., February 16, 1912. First
engaged as chore- boy, and attending school,
at the same time; he subsequently learned
the shoemaker's trade. and removed to
Natick, Mass. He entered the political
arena quite young, and began his public life
in 1871, as member of the Massachusetts
House of Representatives.-Norf Journal.

The Indian Wives of border
Whites.

The custom of taking to themselves In
dian wives sill prevails among the hunters
and Trappers of our Western Territories.
and correspondent of the Chicago Tri-
bune, writing from Wyoming, says:
1t is no uncommon thing, in this noun
famous region, to find a white man and a
squaw who have u numerous progeny of
balf-breed children growing up around
them. These children are active and quick
Witted, and their descendants will 90 to-
ward making up our highland population
The squaws make good and faithful wives.
and. far their knowledge goes, good
mothers. They seem 70 enjoy life, and in
their gambling games get thoroughly eX-
cited. The women have games OF their
own, and no men iuterferes with them in
any way. The game seems to be somewhat
like the old play of the children called,
8 Button, button, who's got the button %
During the whole game all the women
sing together the most lively air have ever
heard among the savages, aud all are eager
for the possession OF the grand prize, which
consists of beads and bead work, scissors,
money, NEEDLES, thre adj and a hundred other
things dear to the feminine heart The
children, too, are anxious lockers on; and
he who supposes the Indians do not enjoy
themselves, ought to see them engaged in
this game, where their whole soul appears
to be absorbed in pleasuTable excitement.
1t is called Ni-u-witz, the game of the hand
and while it is going on, a woman at either
end OF the two rows of players, beats on the
poles which separates them with all their
might, keeping time to the music, and in
creasing the enthusiasm as much as pos
sible.
Some of the young squaws are handsome,
black-eyed creatures, with masses of raven
hair, who would attract attention any,
where. Their bright-colOred blankets set
off their charms to the greatest advantage.
aud they appear modest and decorous
enough. For a long time | was OF opinion
that there was no such thing as a handsome
Indian girl; but in this l was greatly mis-
taken, some of them being very fair TO look
upon. They break early in life, aud the
women look like the veriest hags. The
young girls have all the playful little ways
OF their fairer sisters, and the little ones
have their dolly paJooses, the same as white
children. Human nature, after all, is good
deal the same everywhere, and little OBJ
servatiOn among saYages shows that they
are governed by the same passions and i'm
pulses that we are, though untamed. A
love of ease and contempt for hard work

The Quarrel.

And so you have quarreled with David?
And, hide it as well as you can,
L know at this moment your thinking
That he is a horrible man.
He has no regard for your feelings,
He lOosens his hold on your heart,
And each has confessed TO the other,
That both were much better apart.
You think of the days of your courtship,
When David was thoughtful and kind
In all your yexations SO hopeful
To all of your follies so blind;
But let US sit down in the twilight
And talk Ger the subject awhile;
Before you take leave of the meadow,
lis well that you pause on the stile.
Tis likely that David is fretful,
And careless at times it is true;
His business absorbs him too closely
But is he not working for your
So when he comes home in the evening,
Quite silent, and thoughtful and queer,
just let your heart keep up its singing,
And pretend you don notice, my dear
For just a scratch on the finger
Win heal if YOU let it alone,
So many a trouble or grievance
That David or you may have known,
Would soon have been gone and forgotten,
And left not p scar on the heart,
Had either been fond and forgiving,
Had you never supposed you could part.
