An Old Jay Cooke & Co. Suit.

In the case of Jay Cooke and others
against the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, the petition of Hon. F. Carroll
Brewster Of Philadelphia, praying to be
admitted to appear and defend the suit,
and that the decree Of foreclosure and the
sale of the railroad, property and franchises
of the company made in this city on the
18th of August last be set aside, came up
for hesrngg tIg HefffsEgdaay Jbtetsre Judge ship=
On objections of preliminary character as
to the right of Judge Brewster to be heard'
and as too the time and manner of his ap-
plication, the petition was dismissed, ana
the following order was made by Judge
Shipman
This day came on to be heard the petit
ton of F. Carroll Brewster, heretofore filed
herein, asking that he be permitted to ap
pear and defend this cause, and that the
decree and all subsequent proceedings mere
in be set aside, and after hearing the Coud-
ert Brothers, counsel for said petitioner
and the counsel for the purchasers OF the
property sold under said decree, and the
counsel for the complainants in opposltlon'
and the Court being fully advised IN the
premises, it appears to the Court that oy
reason of the said petitioner being clti-
zen of the same State as the complalnants
in this case, that the prayers OF SAID pes'-
ton that the petitioner be admitted to ap-
pear and defend said cause cannot be grant
ed: and inasmuch as the present petltion
had been filed after a bill of sale OF the
railroad and it's franchises had been maze
in pursuance of an order of this Court, ane
as the allegation of injury sustained by the
said petitioner in respect to which 1t mlgh'
nrobably bear an amicus curise is the mad
euuacv of price at which the said properly
and franchises were sold, and the Court De
inp satisfied with said sale and the price,
obtained tbereat under the circumstance
of the case: and as to the other aliegation
in the said petition the Court is not WILING
at the instance of an amicus curl4, ate
this LAPSE of time and sale OF the prop
erty. to set aside the decree and sale an
disturb the relation since formed thereul
der. 1t is now ordered by the Court tina

RIFLE BALLS.
From the Louisville courier-Journal,

From the Louisville CouFier-JoufnSl,
There is said to be a man at Harper's
Ferry whose name is Samuel T. S. J. B. V.
NJ. B. Case. 1t is strange that fellow
will mutilate the alphabet in that way when
nobody hinders him from taking the whole
of it.
They say that Henry Brost, cook at a
hotel in Omaha, has recently had the mis-
fortune to lose an uncle in Germany, who
left him $50, 900 in cash. Nobody in Eu-
rope ever thinks of leaving fortune to
anybody over here except to acook, wash
erwoman OF chambermaid.
Walt Whitman is just recovering from
paralytic stroke, but he has no idea of lay
ing down his frenzied pen. He told
friend in Washington the other day that he
expected to give the world many more
poems, and said that "the desire and in
spiration to write remains with me through
life, and even grows stronger as | grow
Old" This intelligence is by no means
cheerful.
1t is strange the difference there is in the
habits of the great writer's For instance,
it is said of Eugene Sue that he wrote al
ways in white kid gloves" Such is not the
style in this office. Here, when writing on
subjects in science, literature, or art, lilac
or rose-tinted kids are the thing; but when
dealing With great political questions or Sc
we're personal matters during heated con-
test, we must have gloves Of a pronounced
thunder color, or the mind lags.
Our distinguished and esteemed fellow
citizen, the Hon. Brick Pomeroy, having
announced that he will hold all newspapers
responsible for any and all contraband re-
marks they may make upon him and his
recent plunge into the lower depths oi
bankruptcy, it would, of course, be dan.
gerous for us to say that among his credi
tors is Mrs. Anna Reed, to whom he is sai6
to be indebted in the contemplate sum o.
SO, 600, and we shall, therefore, say moth
ing OF the sort. s.

POETRY.
CHRISTMAS HYMN.

Thou hast put all things under His feet"
Oh, North, with all thy wales of green!
o. South, with all thy palms
From peopled towns and fields between,
Uplift thy voice of psalms.
Raise, ancient east, the anthem high,
And let the youthful west reply.
Lo, in the clouds of heaven appears
Gods well beloved son;
He brings train of brighter years;
His kingdom is begun;
He comes guilty world to bless,
With mercy, truth and righteousness.
oh, father! haste the promised hour,
When at his feet shall lie
All rule, authority and power,
Beneath the ample sky
When he shall reign, from pole to poEe,
The Lord of every human soul;
When all shall heed the words he said,
Amid their daily cores
And, by the loving life he led,
Shall strive to pattern theirs;
And he who conquered death shall win
The mightier conquest over sin,

Greek Models for Husbands.

Here is, indeed, in one respect, the
promised land y for the women, for more
devoted husbands women never had (writes
correspondent from Greece). A Greek
man is only content when he can lavish up
ON his wife all the luxuries in the way OF
dress the female heart can desire. He is
only happy when, in company with his
wife, in the house, in the street, or on the
promenade, she is the best dressed OF all
the fair. With the Greek husband there is
no grumbling consent to bestow upon you
enough to buy pair of boots, while ne
spends ten times that amount with his
friends in champagne suppers no long
drawn visage as he doles out stingy sum
while delivering solemn lecture as to fe-
male extravagance. Not bit of it. On
the contrary, the Greek husband does not
lead his wife through by streets, for fear of
silk-mercers, when she wishes to go out for
little walk, He leads her past the most
fashionable shops, and observes, with the
eye of critic, all the new styles. and is
really, ladies-really and truly willing to
spend his money for his own wife. Even
for fear she should not be considered as
lovely as some one else be goes to per-
fumer's, he buys cold cream, rice powder,
delicate pink for cheeks little blanched
by the stearn realities OF motherhood; he
buys little black for eyelashes, to bright
on eyes that have become somewhat dim
med by tears, perhaps, or vigils over sickly
babies, and be not only gives his full and
free consent to their use, but he himself
will artistically apply them, and afterward
compliment his wife upon her beanty, till
her heart swells with love that he knows Sc
wen how TO retain, fresh as when the first
VOWS were plighted. Yes, of a verify, the
Greeks are bad men, hat good husbands
and tender fathers.

Facts that Should be Understo cd.

The manager Of a newspaper is entitled
to his judgment as to what enterprises are
really charitable and judicious. He is en-
titled to regard the columns of reading
matter under his control as valuable for the
information of the public, and, SO far as he
can make them SO, sacred from intrusion,
even under pretense of pure benevolence.
He has large expenses, and has a right TO
look on his advertising columns as sources
ofrevenue not to be abated at the suggestion
that it is done in the name of charity and
good will to mankind. And the manager
of newspaper has a right to regard him
self as engaged in legitimate private bus
iness. He is not necessarily public char
acter, and is as clearly entitled to his pri-
vacy, and the exclusive conduct of his own
business, as the keeper of a grocery or drug
store. If be is prosperous it is reasonable
to expect him to be charitable; but he
must claim the right Of discriminating in
his charities as other persons do, and OF
doing his share of the good will to men in
his way. He will probably prefer to pay
his subscriptions in aid of charitable enter
prises in cash, and to demand for the ad-
vertising that is done for these enterprises
the regular rates, and, if he understands
editing bis newspaper, he will resist the
tendency to ruiz his local department With
stupid notices that belong among adver-
tisements. 1t may be well to say that we
mean these observations especially for a
number of worthy people in this city, who
have misunderstood, as we think, the rela-
tions of a newspaper to society.

Mining the Great Civilizer.

The London Mining World discourses
on the effects of mining on civilization at
considerable length, and very legitimately
concludes as follows 1t is not too much to
saw that all the civilization of which we
boast may be traced to the application of
the metals and to the use ofeoal Wherever
nations have learned to mine and work
metals, they have become powerful and
rich, subduing their neighbors either by
force of arms or by greater industrial
activity, and in either case acquiring their
wealth. In the earlier stages, those who
possessed the metals made an easy prey of
their rivals, and in the present day nations
mining their Goals and metals do in bet
ter and more elevated sense outstrip their
competitors and become the masters OF the
world. All history teaches that those ma
tions which learned to mine and work met
ais became wealthy, powerful and civilized,
whilst those which have had no mining in
dustries or no metallic manufactures have
remained in a state of barbarism, and that
such at the present day is the distinguishing
feature OF savages. Mining industry is,
indeed, the foundation Of all civilization
and the chief basis on which all industries
| must rest, as vel as being atl the same
time the principal element of progress
Without it the working class could gair
little beyond the mere necessities, and, a
we have often shown that coal and iron are
the first requisites Of national prosperity.
SO it is to mining that We must refer th'
advancement of the present age.

UGnIsTuRREn FOR NINETEEN YEARS
On Wednesday afternoon lady living in
the city presented her pass book at Powers
banking house and asked for q sum Of
money. The paying teller, on examining
her book, found that deposit OF consid-
erable amount had been made in the year
1857, and since that time neither deposit
had been made nor check drawn against
the account. Even the interest, which had
been accommodating for . period Of nearly
nineteen years, and which amounted to Q
great deal moro than the original deposit
had not been entered upon her book.
The lady. it seems. had no occasion during
the time to use any portion of the money,
and, what 10 more singular, had no cnriosi-
ty to ascertain how much it amounted 10.
1t was certainly remarkable case. Upon
inquiry, we find that Mr.. Powers has open
active accounts on his books which began
when be first opened his bank, and coz
