New Years Evening at the "HOme."

The Festival at the Orphans Home last
evening was doubtless as enjoyable an enter
tainment AS any that New Years evening
afforded. At an early hour sleigh bells were
heard jingling and hack lights seen twinkling
in front of the spacious Home whose wreath
hung and lighted windows sent abroad their
ow ! bright and peculiar welcome. A sum-
mer warmth pervaded the whole building,
and all the rooms were thrown open and
lighted tor inspection. The parlor, the libra
ry, the nursery, the chambers, the bath room
and all the beautiful and comfortable apart
ments so well known to our citizens were
soon resonant with the tread of a throng of
visitors. Until about half past eight this free
promenade and social mingling of friends was
uninterrupted by any special exercise in con-
nection with the OCCASION.
Oppor unity being thus afforded the pub
lie to acquaint itself. if desirable, by actual
analysis, with the modus operdndi of the va
lious apartments. Here was a eountI yman
towering above row of little wkite-covered
cots, evidently ben upon going to the root of
the matter Of analysis, for, wiping the per-
SEPARATION from his brow, he extended his fore
finger cautiousl, down upon little white
coverlet, as if to be assured it would yield to
the touch and did not conceal iron spikes or
iDquiSitora substances for juvenile torture.
Then with wise countenance did he scan
the walls, the floor, the ceiling An honest
doubt may have struggled in his mind, wheth-
er or no after II, this fair seeming apartment
might not be a theater Of carnage and bar
barity, but whether such doubt exists or
not it very perceptibly dissolved as he was
ready to affirm with many others: why my
own children at home are not so comforta-
bly, provided for''! Between eight and nine,
the attention of the guests was called to the
exercises of the evening.
After prayer by Rev. VIM. Hart, the poet,
Moses Owen, was introduced, and gave
short but sparkling lode of Welcome" con-
tanning many gems of thought Then came
the distribution ofpresents from tree loaded
down with pretty, rich, and appropriate gifts.
What unclouded Joy there was upon
the upturned faces of those h..ddled or
phans about the tree! Bath may well be
proud of every smile she brings to these little
faces. and a great many smiles are brought
there as any nay learn who make the least
effort to know who are engaged in this most
benevolent and well-managed institution.
Alter the distribution OF presents, the tide
seemed to set in the direction of the dining
room where fragrant coffee, well frozen cream.
delectable Gaze &C., held +he participants for
another our in agreeable. occupation.
EVERYTHING passed off without jar or friction.
Everybot y was pleased, and none more so
than the happy group of children for whose
sake the entertainment was projected. For
laughing eyed hope had just routed old care
and crowned with new roses was revealing
there.-Bdth Times.

TRAGIC DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT OF Bo-
LIvIA.-Our dispatches have briefly announced
the shooting of General Augustin Morales,
President of Bolivia, by his nephew. 1t ap-
pears that Morales had for some time been on
bad terms with the Legislative Assembly, be-
cause it would not sanction measures in which
he had pecuniary interest. On the oath of
November, while in an intoxicated condition,
he went to the halls of Congress to use his in
fluence over the members; but finding them in
tractable he upbraided them in the most insult
ing language. He was finally induced to re-
tire. He then sent some troops to the hall, but
the members stood to their posts, and could not
be inundated. This made Morales very an
CRY, and he quarreled with everybody. Putting
the troops under arms, he proceeded to the cap
itol and declared the Legislature at an end On
the 2Sth he was seen in the streets, laboring I'M
der great excitement. In the evening an
anonymous letter was read to him, warning
him that his aides-de-camp intended making
him prisoner. A t this he became furious,
and rushing out into the ante-chamber where
his aides-de-camp Were, insulted and struck
them. His nephew, LaFaye, begged him to
desist. The nephew then drew his revolver,
and fired upon the President several times,
killing him. During all this time the people
remained quiet, and Congress Immediately
elected Don A,lOlfo Battissan President of Bo-

The Credit M0bilier Testimony.

In addition to the testimony of Cakes Ames
published yesterdar the following is added:
Senator Conkling was never owner of any
stock, and there were never any negotiations
between him and witness.
Witness verified the letter produced b. Nc
Comb as being in his own handwriting, where
witness wrote that he had assigned as far as he
had gone to four from Massachusetts, one from
New Hampshire ETC. The figures referred to
the number of persons in each State, and not
to the quantity of stock and what witness
means by saying he had assigned was that IL
was his intention 10 assign. Witness contlnu-
ed: For instance, l said had assigned one 70
Delaware, as had never spoken ut the tlhe ~ ~
Senator Bayara, for whom L had lnteha:ett an'
SO too with Fowler of Tennessee. but my This

en- me to distribute, as to Saw Ssnat I ane was IN
Sanatar Fowler; that is, not to give to them but
=" saT 70 them. That was the way that in
tended to place the stock, but had not placed
MoComb testified that he heard Brooks press
Alley to let him have fifty shares, and he
(Brooks) could take care OF the Democratic
side OF the House. Alley finally had fifty
shares given to Brooks or transferred to Chas.
M, Nelson, his son-in-aw. Brooks had all the
advantage OF the fifty shares, without paying
anything for them
On being cross-examined by John B. Alley
McComb stated that he (McComb) was denied
access to the books by Mr. ALE /; also that he
saw Durant pay Brooks $4,000 in dividends at
one time and $4,000 at another time
John B. Alley testified that he never had any
conversation with Brooks relating to the shares,
never gave or sold a share of the stock of the
| Credit Mobiler to Mr. Brooks or to any mem
| Der of Congress Does not know Mr.. Nelson,
| never saw him; and The statement of McComh
| is a fabrication from beginning to end.
| Alley then went into a heightened history of
| the first starting of subscriptions for the road
| and for the Credit Mobilier, and stated that il
| was only upon the most earnest solicitations OF
Cakes Ames that he alley was prevailed tt
take the stock at the start and invest 900 il
it, Ames appealing to his patriotism, and feel

be profitable.
| Alley continued, saying that Ames also per

was not the least suspicion then that there wa
| any corruption in it. Mr. Ames himself put il
| one million dollars. After the election of tn
Directors of the Credit Mobilier Company, the,
found $50 shares standing in the name of Thos

they must be paid for or sold for the benefit o
the company. Trouble ensued with Durant
and he was turned out of office, and Alley an(
| friends obtained control.

sire further to state that time in the spring
would like to purchase some stock in the Credit

investment and he could sell me ten shares of
the stock at a rate somewhat above par.
think some $1,000 for the ten shares. We had
some cow ersation in regard to the matter and
MI. Ames told me very frankly that in regard
to these shares there was lawsuit either pend
ing or threatened, though he said his his right
to sell the shares was perfect and undoubted-

the stock and therefore declined Mr. Ames's Of

A Good Thing Duly Appreciated,

No beneficial revolution ever goes backward; and
this maxim is nvariable in medicine in politics.
The advent of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, twenty
years ago. produced revolution in the treatment of
large class of ailments and that revolution has
since been in the full tide of successful experiment.
If that tide has borne the propreos of the ceebrat
borne thousands of human beings who were anguish
ing under the effects of disease weak and hopeless,
out of the depts of dependency into the paradise Of
health and cheerfulness. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that the vigor the regularity of habit of body
the good appetite and perfect digestion, acquired un
i've, multtudes of people in every walk of life, who
have been vainly physicked in the usual way, owe
the blessings of renewed health and the prospect of
