A " Secret HistOry.o

The New York Times says It is now
said, by persons who profess to be we'll
informed, that Tweed has not made his
flight to foreign country, but is still
within easy reach of New York, and
that he proposes to offer a compromise
of the claims against him, and to divulpe
the secret history of the Tammany ring.
He will give up the names of all who
shared in the plunder, and expose the
men who worked with him and for him
ia the days of his power, and who turn
ed upon him so relentlessly after his
downfall. This would be very curious
narrative, and there are many who now
live in "brown- stone houses" and who
hold their heads up very high, who
would 60 in fear and trembling, If thew
believed that Tweed really meant to
carry out the purpose ascribed to him.
We know something of the men
who acted as the confederates of Tweed:
but it is Tweed alone who can give the
necessary proof of their completely in
the ring frauds. Most men would have
made clean breast Of it long ago. but
Tweed has held his tongue. The con-
sideration which he has shown for his
accomplices or friends, they have taken
care not to return. There was a story
in the Sun lately about a /" journalist -
whom Tweed is said to have described
as a man whe had once levied blackmail
upon him, and who now pursues him
with great show of wrath. La this a
solitary case2 We rather suspect not.
How many lawyers arethere about whom
Tweed could reveal fatal secrets How
many large tax payers gave him the
benefit of their countenance and support
in return for having their assessments
reduced2 Hundreds Of persons in New
York city had great load of fear taken
from their minds when they heard that
Tweed had escaped. Their one wish
now is that he may never be heard of
again.

Our Winter Solstice.

The earth is at perihelion January 1,
and at aphelion July /. At the latter
date the angular motion is least, and, the
earth having completed revolution on
its axis, the meridian requires less than
four minutes 10 overtake the sun; SO the
day is shorter, the sun is fast of the we'll
regulated clock; and the differences of
each day will accumulate until autumn,
when the angular velocity becomes
greater than the average. About the
last of October the accumulated differ
ence is sixteen minutes, twelve seconds;
but, as the earth spins along towards
perihelion, the day becomes longer,
daily draughts are made upon this
" bank deposit" as we might call it, and
the elimination of the sun. and noon
by the clock, approach each other.
About the middle of December the sur
plus is all drawn" and the following
day the sun is slow of the clock. From
those circles Of daily motion, submerged
beneath the southeastern horizon, he
emerges more tardily than the position
of the spiral would indicate; and the
same cause which retards his rising,
holds him back at his setting; for is not
our sunset the sunrise of antipodes
Thus the earliest sunset occurs seven or
eight days before the sun reaches its
furthest' declination south. The differ
ence Of time between the sun and clock
continues to accumulate until February
15, when it amounts to fourteen min
utes, twenty-four seconds; but, after
December %, the sun returns on the
spiral, and each succeeding day that
part OF the arc above the horizon be-
comes longer.
About January 10 his difference of
declination more than counterbalances
differences of time, and the sun begins
to rise earlier by the clock.

To Lisette.

They say that the summer has left us.
That winter is coming apace,
That November's chill touch has bereft ma
or all the years glory and grace;
But somehow cannot believe them,
While one thing remains to me yet
suppose you were born to deceive them,
You little spring blossom, Lisette.
For the breath Of the roses still fingers
About you the whole Of the day;
And the touch Of your little pink fingers
Is softer than zephyrs in May;
And your voice has the notes of q startling,
All trickling and tender and clear:
But don't think you'll guess yet, my darling,
What makes it 80 sweet to my ear.
Perhaps tis because you are merely
A dear little si1-year-old child;
Or perhaps tits because you are nearly
As tall IS a reed, and as wild;
Or perhaps tits for cheating the seasons,
For making us winter forget;
Or perhsps-heres the best of all reasons
Perhaps tits love you, Lisette.

Attempts at a Compromise.

The New York Sun says that the only
offer of compromise ever made by the
old ring of that city that meant business
was by Connolly, on the night that he
was put in Ludlow street Jail. Connolly
then had a million dollars in United
States bonds in his house, which he
offered to give up if the suits would be
withdrawn against him. Mr.. Wheeler
81. Peckham was willing to accept that
offer. Mr.. Charles O'Conor, however,
opposed it, saying that Connolly must
be punished as warning to other pub
lie thieves. Since then no practical
proposition has ever been made. 1t js
true that proposition was made on be-
half of Tweed that he should pay over q
certain sum, and the criminal as we'll as
the civil proceedings be discontinued.
That of course could not be accepted.
Three years ago Tweed was worth
80, 600, 900, but property has depreciated
30 much and his legal expenses have
been SO heavy that it is doubtful if he is
worth one million now. It is said that
all the real estate he owns would not
sell for 800, 900.

An Editor Of 1878.

In ITS there were four newspaper
published in New York. Riyinpton's
Royal Gazetteer was the subseryient
tool of the British authorities. The
Mercury, published by Hugh Gaine,
was time and trimmer. Ander
sons Constitutional Gazette was born
and died In 1775, and had no influence
whatever. The NetD York Journal
published by John Holt, was the sturdy
and unpurchasable organ of the Sons OF
Liberty. Its editor fed the city afte,
the disastrous battle on Long Island,
and he was heard of afterward as pub
fishing his paper at one and another OF
the towns on the Hudson under ciroum.
stances that would have appalled, a less
determined man. In the month of An.
gust, 1777, while at Esopus, he printed
an advertisement, in which he proposed
to take any kind of country produce in
the way of trade.
his prospectus reads very quantity
And the printer, being unable to carry

butter, or seven pounds of cheese, OF
eighteen pounds of fine flour, or half q
bushel OF wheat, or one bushei of In
dian corn, or half o cord of wood, or
300 VT. of hay, or other articles of coun-

essary supplies, without which his bust
ness here must very soon be discon-
tinued." It is gratifying to be able to
state that the sturdy patriot survived the
Revolution, and lived to revisit the city,
OF which he had been postmaster in
!775. His patriotic labors and suffer-
lngs Justly entitled him to the following
epitaph ga due tribute to the memory
of John Holt, printer to this State, q.
native OF Virginia, who patiently obey
ed deaths awful summons on the thir-
tieth of January, 1854, in the sixty
fourth year Of his age. To say that his
family lament him, is needless; that his
friends bewail him, is useless; that all
regret. him, unnecessary; for that he
merlted every esteem is certain. The
tongue OF slander cannot say less.
though justice might say more" Such
an epltaph, inscribed over the dust of
an editor, who had also held q commits
sion as postmaster, opens wide field of
emulation to the journalists and officials
OF these latter day.-Scri6ner for Janu-

A Bad Fall.

Ezra Stiles Goodwin, who has been
arrested and imprisoned in Boston for
attempting to blackmail a furniture
dealer to the tune of $42, 900, is con-
nected by blood and marriage with some
OF the oldest families of Massachusetts,
his mother being lineal descendant Of
Peregrine White, the first white child
born in Plymouth, while his paternal
ancestor is immortalized in 4" Yankee
Doodle" in the well.remembered verse:
Father and went down to camp
Along with Cap'n Gooding;
There We saw the boys and girls
AS thick as hasty pudding
Goodwin was attached to the United
States navy during the rebellion, and
has certificates lauding his bravery from
Admiral Farragut and other distin-
guished officers. He was formerly @
detective on the Erie railroad.

The Cure for Gossip.

DR.. Holland, in Scri6ner's, gives us
the following: What is the cure for
gossip3 Simply, culture. There is a
great deal of gossip that has no malig-
nifty in it. Good-natured people talk
about their neighbors because, and only
because, they have nothing else to talk
about. AS we write, there comes to us
the picture Of family of young ladies.
We have seen them at home, we have
met them in galleries of art, we have
caught glimpses of them going from a
bookstore, or library, with fresh vol
ume in their hands. When we meet
them, they are full of what they have
seen and read. They are brimming
with questions. One topic of CONVERSE
ton is dropped only to give place to
another, in which they are interested.
We have left them, after delightful
hour, stimulated and refreshed; and
during the whole hour not neighbours
garment was soiled by so much as q
touch. They had something to talk
about. They knew something, and
wanted to know more. They could lis
ten as well as they could talk. Tospeak
freely of neighbor's doings and be-
longings would have seemed an imperti-
nence to them, and, Of course, an impro-
priety. They had no temptation to Cos
sip, because the doings of their neigh
bors formed subject very much less
interesting than those which grew out of
their knowledge and their culture.
And this tells the whole story. The
confirmed gossip is always either mali.
cious or ignorant. The one variety
needs change of heart and the other q
change of pasture. Gossip is always
personal confession either of malice or
imbecility, and the young should not
only shun it, but by the most thorough
culture relieve themselves from all temp
tation to indulge in it. It is a low,
frivolous, and too often dirty business.
There are country neighborhoods in
which it RACES like q pest. Churches
are split in pieces by it. Neighbors
are made enemies by it for life. In
many persons it degenerates into a
chronic disease, which is practically in
curable. Let the young cure it while
they may.

Does Newspaper Advertising Pay .

To this often repeated and important
question the Dayton fOhio) Daily Jour
nal gives the following as an answer !:
Some months since o gentleman fepre-
senting wealthy house In San FraneiAco,
California, while travelling in Missouri,
came in possession of q Daily Journal
containing the advertisement Of The
Trade Engine" manufactured by the
Herman & Herahelrode Misunderstanding
Company of this city. The gentleman
became interested, carefully preserved
the paper, and having occasion to visit
Ohio q short time afterward, called nc
thel Office of the above company. He
showed Mr.. Herchalrode, the seoretaxy,
the advertisement he had preserved, and
made overtures for the agency OF his
house for the engine IN Californis. His
propositions were accepted and the mp
shot is, recently the company shipped
the third carload of engines to their
agents in San Francisco. Thus, through
small advertisement, comparatively
new invention was introduced. and Q
trade that promises to be immense was
secured in the most distant portion OF our
country. It was but by chance that the
gentleman explained how he became no
quainted with the merits of the engine
he advertised, else he would have re-
manned In ignorance of the customer the
advertisement had secured him Advsrs
tisements, as rule, work silently, but
they work surely and effectively.

The Suez Canal.

The most noticeable feature about the
statistics of Suez canal traffic is the
rapidity of its increase. Starting in
1870 with an aggregate tonnage of 1885,
618, the number of vessels passing
through the canal reached, in 1873, q
tonnage of 2,085, ,270. Almost from the
first, three-fourths of this trade was
represented by British vessels. The
canal toll is ten francs, or about So gold,
per ton, 30 thnt after making allowance
for minor charges, it costs 2,OO0-top
ship about SIC, 900 to make the double
trip, through the canal and back.
