in these same parishes two years ago, we
NAV rest assured that the public opinion
of the Union has not yet made itself felt

danger of its failing to do this in time to

We are informed that the returns of the
election in Philadelphia show that the
entire republican vote of that city was
cast for an electoral ticket containing the
name of Samuel w. Stark,Ceather. This
name was not on the regular republican
electoral ticket, but the name of Seth w.
Starkweather was. If this be true, and
the returns in the Office OF the secretary
of the commonwealth will show whether
it is or not, Seth w. Starkweather receiv-
ed fifty odd thousand votes less for elec-
tor than twenty other gentleman vo-
ted for, and Samuel w. Starkweather re.
ceived some three hundred thousand
votes for elector less than twenty-nine
other gentlemen voted for. Consequent

ST. NICHOLAS FOR DECEMBER


Is the Christmas number this year, and
is much larger than usual. 1t contains
nearly one hundred pages, and more than
fifty illustrations.
The frontispiece, called "The Heart of
Winter is q superb engraving, represen-
ting some exquisite bits of winter scenery
and life. 1t is one of Thomas Moran's
finest drawings.
William Cullen Bryant contributes an
article entitled 1.-THE Boys of My Boy
hood" and describing the amusements,
studies, sports, occupations, and social
| life of the young people of his early years.
| This paper forms remarkable feature in
magazine literature.
Professor Richard A. Proctor, the en-
inent astronomer, Is represented by an
article entitled ga Clock in the Sky at
Night" and giving clear and simple
directions for telling the time by the
position of certain stars.
j. It. Throwbridge, the great favorite OF
American boys, begins in this number his
new serial. ellis Own Master" The first
installment contains some exceedingly
| interesting scenes. ....
Lucy Larcom is the author of the fine
| opening article entitled "Poems and
| Carols of Winter" 1t is illustrated by
| several excellent cuts, and it gives its
young readers many admirable and sea
sonablc selections from well-known
/ poets.
The Christmas element is made very
prominent. Edward Eggleston contri-
butes a fine Christmas Fairy-show, and
there are several splendid Christmas
stories in the number by Susan Coolidge,
Lucretia p. Hale ,Rebecca Harding Davis,
| Oliver Thorne and others
| Still another striking feature is the de,
scription of the greatstables of one of the
prominent lines of New-York street-cars
The article is entitled "The Horse Hotel, y
and describes the building, the rooms and
attendants, the management of the horses,
the arrangements for feeding and caring
for them, and the various methods and
means employed in the huge establish
ment. Its illustrations are from sketches
taken on the spot. -
The numbers pictorial display also In.
cludes beautiful pictures by Miss Halloch
and Addie Ledyard, some funny illustra-
tions by Church, and some very curious
drawings by Siamese artist.
Besides the Christmas poems, the mum
Der contains a pretty poem by Celia
Thaxter, and d lively and amusing one
by Mrs. Dodge.
1t is impossible to even touch upon all
the merits of this brilliant number, but
those we have mentioned will show thai
its list of features and contributors is cer
tainly remarkable one.

The faculty of Trinity College issued
an order last week forbidding the stu.
dents to sing on the campus OF in the
buildings. The students agreed upon a
system of reprisals. During the services
in the chapel on Sunday afternoon the
students were silent and the hymns were
sung by two professors with uncertain
voices. After the sermon, however, tho
boys relented and joined heartily in the
closing hymn. College music has degen-
erated-there is no doubt about that In
place of the splendid Latin and German
cherouses which were sung at Hartford,
Yale, Princeton, Brown and Union in
days gone by, sentimental ballads,
snatches from opera bouffe and negro
minstrel tunes are popular in the ooa-
| leges to-day. But, notwithstanding this
| laDse in musical taste, college singing Is
a thing to be encouraged. The faculty
may as well let the boys sing as often ~
they please on the college grounds. 5e

WHAT TO DO.

Congress will assemble again in o few

four years up to 1860, "to ascertain and
report mode of examining the votes

I" United States, and of notifying the per
I" sons elected of their election" There
must be q mutual understanding as to
place of meeting and method of pr0ce
dure in examining votes and notifying
those elected. If there can be an agree

better; and so indeed if there cannot be
an agreement, which latter contingency
we do not now contemplate. II the'two
houses cannot agree as to how they will
come together, and what shall be the
rules of procedure when they come to-
gether; then there would seem to be little
prospect of opening certificates or count
ing votes sin presence of" one another,
An effort, therefore, in that direction
should be immediately made when Con-
