The double doors which protect the

no fortress is defended by such iron
walls, great bolts, and powerful locks.
You go down to Il by a winding stair
case Of hcwn stone set in Roman cement,

to four iron doors, each having three
locks, not to be opened except by the
consent Of the head cashier and the
comptroller-gcneral. Once inside the
vaults you find the gold and silver coin,
in bags, stored away in tall lcadcn
boxes quite out Of sight The vaults
can be filed, with gas Or flooded with

Coon EYEsIaHr.-AIthough the eyes
of some animals are incapable of mo-
ton, as the ny, the beetle, and several
other ipsecta, yet the Creator has
shown his wisdom and goodness in
furnishing their eyes with thousands
of little globules, and by placing their
eyes moro in front of their heads, 30
that these little insects can sec almost
all around them without turning their
heads. A gentleman who has examined
the eyes Of q fly says that the two
eyes Of q common one are composed of
5000 little globes, through every one
Of which Il Is capable Of forming an
image of an object. Having prepared
the eye Of . hy for the purpose, he
placed II before his microscope and
then looked through both, in the man
ner Of telescope, at . stespls which

and hesaid he could plainly SEQ Through

CHRISTMAS EVE.

About half-past o'clock last evening Canal
street was one moving mass of people. The
stores were all brilliantly illuminated and the
windows were centers of attraction. Later
in the evening the dense crowd began to
diminish, and by 10 o'clock the street had
assumed its wonted appearance. BY IL
o'clock the thoroughfares again became
crowded, and those who, as ever, participated
in the solemnities of the church on Christmas
Eve, made the streets appear more animated
than usual, by the members drifting toward
the several places of worship.
THE ST. LOUIS CATHEDRAL.
The Grand High Mass at the ST. Louis
Cathedral was attended last night by large
concourse of worshipers.
The Mass was celebrated in a most impress
sive and solemn manner.

church of the Immaculate Conception, on

A VISIT FROM ST. NICHOLAS.
BY CLEMENT MOORE.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all
throughthe house
Not creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stocking was hung by the chimney with care,
10 hopes That st. Nicholas soon would b. there,
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While Visions of sugar plums danced in their
heads,
And mamma in her kerchief and l in my cap,
Had just settled down for long winters nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such q clatter,
sprang from the bed to see what was the matter;
Away to the window flew like flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash;
The moon on the breast on the new-fallen snow
Gave the luster of mid day to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver, SO lively and quick.
l knew III moment / must be st. Nick
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whisled and shouted and called them by
Now Dancer now Dasher now Prancer! and
Vixen!
On Comet! on Cupid on Donder and Bitten
To the top of the porch, to the top OF the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane tiv
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the
sky,
With a tleigh full OF toys, and st. Nicholas, too,
And then, in twinkling, heard on the roof
The prancing and dancing Of each little hoof.
As drew in my head and was turning around
Down tho chimney st. Nicholas came With a
bound!
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his
foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes
and scot;
A bundle Of toys he had flung on his back
And he looked like a pedd!er just opening his
pack.
His eyes, how they twinkedl his dimples how
merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like E
His droll little mouth was drawn up like bow,
snow.
The stump Of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
| And the smoke 1t encircled his head like q
wreath;
! He had broad face and little round belly,
| That shook when he laughed like a boWiful o.
jelly: :.
He was chubby and plump, RICH. jolly old elf
and laughed when l saw him, in spite OF my
self;
! A wink of his eye and twist OF his head,
Soon gave me to know had nothing to oread;
He spoke not word, but went straight to hl'
| work
And filed all the stockings, then turned with 6
jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving nod, up the chimney he rose.
He sprsng to his sleigh, to his team gave
whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of thistle
But | heard him exclaim, ere he drove out 0
sight,
i" Happy Christmas to all, and to all a Goo'
Night"

A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.
Another Respite for the MUIR
dererS.

The Governor yesterday granted another
respite to D. r. Henderson and Bill Williams,
alias Whisky Bill, who were to be executed ON
the 31st inst.
The death warrants of both these men were
issued some time ago, but the decision of the
Supreme Court declaring illegal the Grand
Jury which indicted them necessitated re-
spite.
Counsel for Henderson made application to
the Supreme Court for writ of hdbeas cor
pas, and after hearing the application was
refased, and Henderson was remanded to
prison.
Several days ago Fenderson's counsel APP
piled to the Superior Criminal Court for an
appeal to the Supreme Court and on Friday
the application was granted by Judge Steele.
Under this decision it becape the duty of
the Governor to postpone. the execution of
Henderson until the Supreme COURT had
passed upon his case, and this, as above
stated, he did. AS the question involved
affected the case of Bill Williams, the Gov
ernor also granted respite to him.

The Dido Baptiste Case.
A Statement by Counsel in the
Case.

Yesterday morning, in the Superior Crlml-
nal Court, when the time for entertaining
motions from the bar had arrived, Anthony
Sambola, Esq, counsel for the accused, asked
permission of the Court to be allowed to
withdraw from the case known as the Dido
Baptiste and Martini murder case.
He stated that he had been acting as coun-
sci for the accused under appointment OF the
Court since December, 1872 and that he had
performed faithfully and to the best OF his
ability all the duties incumbent upon him I'M
der the circumstances, both to the court and
to the accused. He said that on Thursday,
about P. NJ, certain parties representing the
insurance companies, had paid as compro-
mise the sum of $500 to one Of the accused,
with promise additionally that a noNe pros
should be entered in their case on Friday
morning. He continued at some length, and
in the course OF his remarks said he intended
to cast no reflection on the Attorney Generals
connection with the case; that he simply de-
sired his name, as an officer of the court, to
be stricken from the record for the reason
that he was unwilling to be connected with
any case where a felony was compounded.
Attorney General Field said in reply that
he utterly refused to enter a nolle pros, and
should continue to do so as long AS there was
the slightest chance of trying the case. He
remarked further, that on Thursday he was
waited upon by one of the counsel for the
| insurance companies, who stated that the
matter had been compromised, and that a
nolls pros should be entered. He told the
attorney who called upon him that the prose-
! cution of the crime was a matter that the
people at large were interested in, and not the
insurance COMPANIES.
Judge Steele granted the motion of Mr..
Sambola, and he was released from the
case.
Our readers are probably familiar with the
details of the case, but it may be OF interest
now that these new facts have come to light,
to tell the story as briefly as possible. The
case has been pending tor years. The de-
PENDANTS, Dido Baptiste and Francisco Mar
tini, are charged with the drowning OF 6
Young man, an Italian, by the name OF Cara
ia, at the Lake End near Miguel's bath-house
in Angus, 1872. They were tried and con
victed in the First District Court before Judg'
Abell, of murder, without capital punish
ment.
The case was appealed and new tria
granted. Until within few days ago the &C
cused was confined in the Parish Prson-th
case being continued several times by the A,
, torney General, owing to the absence of tn
, States most important witness, man by tn
name of Ward. week ago, on motion Q
counsel, the accused were released on thel
own recognizance.
2 t. Mr. Sambola, ever since his appointment
by the Court as counsel to defend the prison
ers, has labored zealously in their behalf.

As freight train, bound west, left Bryan.
on the Union Pacific, few days ago. the en-
gineer heard singular cracking sound, and
thinking there might be something wrong
with his locomotive, stopped the train, and
examined his engine, which was found In
good trim. An examination OF the train
was next made, and in the centre was found
car containing some kind of fluid, which was
leaking through upon the track in drops.
The car was opened, and inside were discov
cred q large number of tanks, labelled glyce-
rine. The car was side-tracked at Granger.
In moving it wheel passed over drop OF
the substance, when it exploded with report
like that OF pistol.
The cor was consigned to some firm In San
Francisco, but the company have as yet been
unable to find who shipped it. 1t is supposed
to be nitro slycerine. The railroad men have
tested it by placing drop OF it on the track
and striking it with hammer, which will
cause loud report. A few shavings that had
been lying in the car became saturated with
it, and were laid on the ground and struck by
stone, which caused them to fly in every
direction. A track has been built away from
the main track and the Car run out on 1t,
where it now remains, every one fearing to 60
