HIS EXoELLENcY saw tit, In his In
augural address, to place himself right
on the record as an ardent supporter OF
the Union, and to recommend u closer
communion between people "bound
together by all the ties of country,
race, religion and laws" He grew
quite eloquent In his declaration Of de-
votion to the brotherhood of States,
and In giving utterance to those judi
eious and appropriate sentiments he
has played a good card In the Sena-
torial game. His address, which We
give In full In our Geographic col
ums, will be found worthy of perusal.

papers. Her parents-Czar Nicholas

ses, Maria and Olga, went up to a
group of soldiers who were peeling
potatoes, and admired the skill with
which they performed the operation.
"Can you do that children?" asked the
King. "No; they had never tried"
"How? not yet tried? The sooner
the better; no one can be a clever
housewife without learning to peel po-
tatoes. Let us see how you could do
it," The two princesses at once knelt
before the fire, receiving a couple Of
knives, and began their task the King,

of Prussia, (the present German EN-
peror). and Prince Alexander (the pre-
sent Czar), all standing around. A
Pomeranian, who had given up his
knife, soo1 interrupted, "But, young
ladies, you mustn't cut SO deep; you
cut.away most of the potato, and we
shall have nothing left to eat. DO all
Russians cut potatoes in that way?"
Fright, Ahlmann." said the King-he
had before spoken to the man, and
never forgot soldiers name-"teach
them how to do it in the Prussian
way" Ahlmann accordingly showed
them how to hold the potato, and how
to hold the knife. and exactly how
much ought to be taken off; "and
soon," the story goes, "the potato
skins really fell more delicately from
the delicate hands of the Princesses."
We are not told what use was after

COULD HE HAVE LAID 1T OUT TO ANY BET
TER ADVANTAGE.
The Globe Democrat answers this mega
lively, and thus ably mgues the mat
ter
In his coffin the dead Million ,rie looks
as II he would have been quite as well off
had he retained only few thousand for
himself, and used the vast remainder to
soiace affilction, to alleviate suffering, to
dlffuse knowledge, to elevate art, or in
any way to make specific contribution
to any welfare, comfort or culture Of
those around him.
This Is the sentimental view, and as it
has its origin deep in the essential traits
OF human nature it probably has much to
commend it but it may be doubted, af-
ter all, whether the rule which made
Stewart and Astor rich is not the better
rule. The man who gives without any
expectation of return does well, but on
the other hand, the man who only gives
to others what they have earned, renders
service to humanity which should not
be ignored nor disparaged.
Mr.. Stewards vast capital renewed
itself every year, and went TO support
not only the little army of statesmen,
bookkeepers, buyers and porters in his
immense establishment, but 1t fed the
stream OF commerce back to its very
sources. His money did not 60 to furn-
lsh libraries for those who ought to pay
Tor their reading, nor to build colleges
for fastidious devotees of culture, who
are not. however, too fastidious to get
their culture without paying for it ; it
did not offer to the thriftless and reck-
less exemption from the results of their
waste aad riot, but it went to way hon
est wages to working men and working
women and children, to factory hands in
this country and in other countries, to
lace makers in the the remote valleys of
Switzerland or the plains Of Belgium,
and to operatives at Fall River, or Low
ell, or Glenham Falls.
Put this use of the money beside the
romantic and sentimental proposition
which would build colleges and art
museums, libraries, or even hospitals,
and healthy mind ought not to hesitate
between them. The best charity that
can be done to those who need it most is
to teach them indirectly that they must
oarn their living, and this is a hard
charity to few but the worthless,

The Gas Commission of New York has
just awarded contracts for lighting and
maintaining the public lamps of the city
for the eight months ending December
81 1876 These contractsIare for different
parts Of the city, and are very favorable
for the municipality, one being at the
rate of $13 IS per lamp, two at $14 and
another at $40 II. One company which
had no opposition in it's section, was
awarded contract at S24 per lamp. At
the rate of these contracts the saving to
the city in one year will reach the hand
some sum OF $69, 900 compared with the
year 1875. The price VI Gas in new York
and Baltimore to private consumers has
heretofore been about the same, 50 rs
per thousand feet, though in the former
city some of the companies have reduced
the figures to 81 SO per thousand. The
city of Baltimore has the past year paid
s34 per anupm for the gas consumed by
each public lamp, whilst in New York
under the new contract, majority of
the awards are at the rate Of $21 per
lamp for years service. More light
is certainly needed on this subject.-Bogt

Norristown lost his wife, and not many
not being sufficient to lay the ghost OF
his first wife, she now appears to the do
mestics in the present family circle, and
by her sudden and supernatural cries for
her late husband frightens the servant

AN EX-UNIDN SOLDIER ORDERED TO BE
DISPLACED BY AN EX-RgDEL MR.,
JEW l. REFUSES TO OBEY THE
ORDER.
Recent frequent visits of Mosby the
eS-guerilla chieftain, to President
Grant, have excited considerable sur.
prise, and the friends of the admins
trstion are at loss to know what
they near and how to account for
item. The latest manifestations of
his influence has been exhibited in the
case of a removal of an appointment
OF Mosby in the person of one Chap
man, who had been Confederate SOL
dier and served Mosby as a scout. He
was replaced by an ex-Union soldier
named Bradley, as mail route agent.
The President, upon the representa-
tions of Mosby, directed the Post.
master General to reinstate Chapman.
Postmaster Jewell rebelled and fatty
reflsed to restore Chapman to the
place from which he was removed,
saying that President Grant might be
able to afford to do that, but he could
not, and he accordingly directed that
Bradley be retained on his own &C.
count, Chapman, however, receiving
another place. 1t Is not yet known
whether this will create any rupture
between the President and Governor
Jewell, but it is thought not unlikely
that Mosby will contend that his in
fuence las not been sufficiently recog.
ni,ed nor the orders of the President
Obcyed until the ex-rebel Chapman
shall be restored to the place from
Which he was originally removed, and
that he will be satisfied with nothing
short of this, nor will he submit to
beng outdone by q Yankee.

tee on printing, gave the result of his ex
animation before the committee Tues
day. He stated that he had traced large
deficits in the accounts, that the cash
book was full of the most palpable
errors, and the balances were forced.
He was asked by the committee what
he thought Of bookkeeper who would
keep such books? He said he thought
him scoundrel. Further evidence in
reference to The management of the
printing office shows that from $40, ,0OO
to $S6, 900 of purchases are made in
open market every year by the printer,
and that he does not buy direct from
manufacturers and importers, but in.
variably through middle men, The

THE EMMA MINE DOCUMENTS.
The Postmaster General to day de-
livered to the committee on foreign
affairs all the papers in the Emma mine
case sent by Mr.. MacDougall, the sec
retary of the company, and which ar
rived in the last mail from London.
Among these papers are some which
MacDougall claims reflect very injuri-
ously upon Gen. Schenck. The men,
bers of the committee state that they
regard some of these papers as extreme
ly important, but they do not feel at
liberty to make them public at this
time. Among the documents received
from Mac cDougall is understood to be
the letter to Schcnck resigning the
dictatorship in the Emma mine, in the
handwriting 0tPark and whichSchenck
denied.
YOUNG DELANo AND HIS CONTRACTS.
The examination to day of John
Delano, son of Columbus Delano, ex
Secretary of the Interior, proved that
sen John had much too weak and
defective memory to be entrusted
with the execution and management
of valuable government contracts. He
had not the slightest recollection of a
single one of the facts of the several
charges which have been made and
proved against him. He could not re-
member what contracts, if any, he
was a party to, or had, the time he
became party to them, or why or
how he had an interest, and it was
only after an hour of close cross ex-
animation that lie finally remembered
that Gen. Babcock probably showed
him the first charges presented against
him at the White House. These
charges, it will be rendered, were
presented to the President as conf.
dental communication, and were by
no means intended for the eye of
young John Delano.

A CURIoUs COLLECTION OF Fossils.
A. l.. Porter, Il veteran from the
North, arrived in this city, has curl
Gus collection of fossils carefully pack
cd with sawdust in travelling trunk
at the Western Hotel on Broadway,
where he is now sojourning. The col
lection embraces an Indian stone war
club. a stone pestle belonging to the
same race of people, and a gritty stone
chisel used by them in the manufacture
of their stone imHlements. 1t also
contains large number of specimens
of petrified wood, fossil leaves in sand
stone, rocks bearing a striking resem-
blance to petrified human and animal
skulls, which the owner believes they
are, and smooth boulder which pre-
sents the appearance Ofa petrified land
turtle The shape of the latter does
correspond closely to that animal
The right fore foot or flipper is very
distinctly outlined, and Oh the lett side,
which has been considerably worn by
the action of the water, is a small in
dentation, corresponding in place and
character to that at the toes OF the
lI0Hb lcoG. Iii anu
what is supposed to have been the she'll
is hollow, corresponding with that ill
q turtles front whose head has been
wrung off The edge of the shell, ifit
be what Mr.. Porter believes, has been
worn off by the action of the water.
On the top and bottom Of the stone are
sundrv markings, which Mr.. Porter
thinks have been made by edged tools
and are the hieroglyphics Of race
now extinct. 4 Arrow heads, glass
gIobules on the surface Of pieces Of
lava, and pieces Of bone Of an extinct
animal complete the collection. Tie
fossils have been gathered by Nj.
