The New Secretary of the Treasury.

Ben Hardin Bristow was born in
Christian country, Kentucky, about
1880. He began life as n school teacher,
was afterward a preacher of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, but, we be-
ieive, was never an active, working
minister. He was one of the very few
men in Kentucky who voted for Lin
coin. We believe that Bristow, OF
Hoptinsviiie, and DIR. Hlakcy, of Rus
seville, cast tho only votes Mr.. Lin
coin received in the second congrcssion-
al district of Kentucky.
In 1861 BristOw WAS prominent in
the Union councils, and greatly assist
ed General james $. Jackson, who was
killed at Perryvillc, in 1862, while or
ganizing the Third Kentucky Infantry
He was Colonel ofthe Eighth l<rnluc X y
Cavalry, Regiment, and was brevctch
Brimadicr General at the close of the
war for his services rendered.
Before his return to civil life he re-
moved from IIopl>insvillct to Louisville,
where he began to practice law, in
which he had been engaged with much
success. lie was appointed United
States district attorney from Kentucky
by Andrew johnson, upon the recon-
incubation of Hon. James Speed, Mr..
Johnson's Attorney General. lie sue
ccedcd in breaking up the Kentucky
whisky ring, and became known to tho
country in this way as Il Vigifant and n
fearless officer. Having managed the
business of the Treasury, he was cm-
ployed by Mr.. Boutwell, as special solic-
itOr for the United States in certain
cases. This position he resigned two
years ago to accept the position of pres
iacnt Of the Texas and California Con-
struction company, which had con-
tractcd TO build and equip the Texas
Pacific railroad. This construction
company was dissolved by the incorpo-
rators last November, since which
lime General BriStoW has been engaged
i'll the practice of his profession in
Washington. Politically, he is II cons

ART DEPARTMENT. 1874.

The illustrations of The Aldinc have
Won Worldwide reputation, and in the
art centers of Europe it is admitted fact
That its wood cuts are examples of the
highest perfection over attained. The com
mon prejudice in favor of ''Steel plates is
rapidly yielding to Il more educated and
discriminating taste which recognizes the
advantages Of superior artistic quality with
superior facility for production. The wood
cuts of The Aldine possess all the delcacy
and elaborate finish Of the most costly ST eel
plate, while they afford better rendering
OF the a, lists orig inal.
10 fully realize the wonderful work which
The Aidinc is doing for the cause of art
culture in America, it is only necessary to
consider the cost to the people OF any other
decent representations Of the product ions
OF great painters.
In addition TO designs by the members of
the National Academy, and other noted
American artists, The Aidinc will repro
ducc examples OF the best foreign masters,
selected with 4 view to tire highest artistic
success and greatest general interest. Thus
the subscriber to The Aldinc will alta
triiling cost, enjoy in his own home the
pleasures and refining influences OF true art.
The quarterly tinted plates for 1874 will
be by Thomas Moran and J. ID. Woodward.
The Christmas issue for 1874 will contain
special designs appropriate to the season,
by our best artists, and will surpass in at
| fractions any OF its predecessors.

Ashristmas Legend.

II WAS Christmas Eve. The night was
very dark and the snow falling fast, rs
Hermann, the charcoal-burher, drew his
cloak tighter around him, and tho wind
whistled frrcely through tho trees Of the
Black Forest lie had been TO carry q load
TO castle near and was now Fastening
home to his little hut. Although he work.
cd very hard. he was poor, gaining barely
enough TOR the wants of his wife and his
four little children. He WAS thinking of
them, when he heard faint wailing. Guild
ed by the sound, he CROPPED sb nut aud found
little child, scantily clothed, shivering
aud sobbiug by itself in the snow.
"why. little Que, have they lett thee here
all alone TO face this cruel blast ~
The child answered nothing, but looked
piteously up in the charcoal burners face
"Well, can not leave thee here. Thou
wouldst be dead before the morning
So saying, Hermann raised II in his arms,
wrapping it in his cloak aud warming its
lutte cold hands in his bosom When he
arrived at his hut, he put down the child
and tapped ut the door, which was imme.
di-tely thrown open, and the children rush
ed TO meet him.
Here, wife, is a guest TO our Christmas
Eve supper, y said he, leading in the little
tiny hand.
iAnd welcome he is, said the wife.
Now let hum come and warm himself by
the fire"
The children all pressed round to well
come and gaze at the little newcomer.
They SHOVE him their pretty fr-tree, dec
GRATED with bright, colored lamps in honor
of Christmas Eve, which the good mother
had endeavored to make n tetc for the chill
dren.
Then they sat down 10 supper, each child
contributing of its portion for the guest
looking with admiration at its clear, blue
eyes and golden hair, which shone so as to
shed a brighter light in the little room and
as they gazed it grew into q sort Of ha o
round his head, and his eyes beamed with a
heavenly luster. Soon two white wings ap-
peared at his shoulders, and be seemed to
grow larger and larger, and then the beau
tiful vision vanished, spreading out his
| hands as in bsnediction over them.
Hermann and his wife fell on their knees.
exclaiming, in awe.struck voices: "The
holy Chrst-child |" and then embraced their
wondering children in Joy and thankful
ness that they had entertained the Heaven
ly Guest.
The next morning, as Hermann passed
by the place where he had found the fair
child, be saw a cluster of lovely white how-
ers, with dark green leaves, looking as
though the snow itself bad blussmed. Her
mann plucked some, and carried them re-
vertntly hnme TO his wife and children, who
treasured the fair blossoms and tended them
carefully in remembrance of that wonder
iul Christmas Eve, calling them Chry SAN
themums and every year, as the time came
round, they put aside a portion oftheir feast
and gave it to some poor little child, nc
cording to the words of the Christ: "In-
asmurh as We have done it unto one Of the
least of these my brethren, ye have done il
unto me. - Florence Scanned, in 81,

AZ the meeting of the Board of Trade
this afternoon the tariff committee on metal

competitors advantage over them; that the
total abolition OF duties upon steel would
enormously increase our exports and enable
our manufacturers to employ more labor,

build and equip vessels cheaper, and solve
the question of cheap transportation.

Caucnsian SuperiOritys

city and the exact aniInus that underlies it.
all. 1t is an old saying that children and
fools toll the truth" and it might be added,
act the truth. OF course, tho boys referred
to reflected their home education. and did
it by driving the colored girls out of school
by violence. We have in this the clearest
possible illustration of what is behind all
the political issues in New Orleans. Hatred
toward the cOlOred race and u purpose to
deprive them of the advantages of educa-
ton, that in some way they may again be
actually ensaved-this is the aninating
spirit, disclosed by this emeute of the high
school boys. More and more is it evident
that the evil spirit of the ex-rebel element
in parts of the South must be held in check
by the most rigorous measures. This done o
and we will, in time, have settled peaces
but if the rising generation of whites is
infused with the pro-slavery hatred Of the
colored race, there will be fifty years of
disorder and tnmult at the South This
fact had as we'll be looked directly in the
face first as last. 1t is important to the
welfare of the South. and the question sim
ply is, to compel the whites to let the negroes
alone, to cease race agitations. 1t must bs
done. s)oner or later.-Pittsbmrg Gaeettes
