RECENT EVENTS.

Thomas Hunt, one Of New York.
oldest merchants, died January 18th
aged seventy-nine years.
William NJ. Tweed has made applica.
lion to the supreme court for his dis
charge under the poor Debtor act. He
vas taken to the court, but the hearing
of the case was postponed.
Senator Mitchell on the 2Ist inst. in
troduced bill appropriating SI25, 900 to
enable the United States Coast Survey
10 establish a station for the purpose OF
making tidal observation at Astoria.
The Ohio Senate passed a resolution
January 18th, favoring the Bland bill
without amendment, restricting free
coinage and censuring the President anc
Secretary Sherman for their financia
views. The vote was strictly partisan
Democrats voting aye.
Intelligence was received at Omahs
on the Goth that the military telegraph
has been completed from Fort Fetter-
man to Fort Mckinney at Cantonment
Reno. The line will probably be pushed
10 two military posts on the Yellow
stone, less than $50 miles from the pres
ent terminus.
The report of the Bristow dinner in
Boston, as sent West, accidently omitted
TO state that when the company were
called to order the chairman proposed d
sentiment in honor Of the President o
the United States. Instantly every
man was on his feet, and while the
band played "The Star Spangled Ban.
ner," three hearty cheers were given
for President Hayes.
General Ford, State Senator, of Texas,
was examined by the subcommittee OF
the committee on foreign affairs Janu-
ary 2lst. He gave a statement of the
condition Of affairs on the Texan border
to the effect that the raids still con-
Linued, and that the people do not, as
has been asserted, ask for war against
the Mexicans, but merely want protec-
tion, which they mean to have.
A meeting Of the Chamber Of Com
merce of Charleston, South Carolina,
on the 18th inst, resolved that the ef-
forts being made in Congress to remon-
etize silver and defer resumption appear
reactionary and designed to reverse the
action taken when the intelligence and
wealth Of the South were not repre-
sented in Congress, and that it cannot
possibly be that the government car
honestly pay the notes or bombs except
in gold
The Gazette, Baltimore's Democratic
organ, designates the Bland bill project
as the real enemy of the laboring man
It proposes to pay the plOughman anC
mechanic ninety cents, instead Of a dol.
lar, for labor. The currency is now
within two cents Of par. If the scheme:
Of the silver men were abandoned, il
would come at once to par. Resump.
ton would accomplish itself in three
months. To postpone resumption by
imitation for the purpose of making
money cheap would be little short of 8
downright swindle.

Mr.. ELIOT'S LECTURE.

The student Of historic lore who only
hopes to view the classic grounds OF the
decayed Aeropolis, or revel amid the
ruins Of the Pantheon, in the imagina-
tion Of an exalted day-dream, may en-
JOY an unprecedented feast Of reason in
listening to the exquisite word painting
of Mr.. Eliot, who has trodden the
grounds of ancient Athens in person,
aud ruminated amid the solitude OF it,
mighty ruins, as sacred to mythology as
10 history, taking notes from his actual
experiences, and dwelling meditatively
the while upon classic poetry, all Of
which be has crystalized into an intel
Iectual treat, embellished by appropri-
ate illustrations, to which it were well
worth the philosophers while to pay
the closest attention. Mr.. Eliot's style
of oratory is at once classic, profound,
and entertaining. You listen in vain
for a discordant sentence to emanate
from his well tuned ideas, and watch as
futively for any imperfect picture from
his well trained pen.
As painting Of the grandest order
cannot be judged in whole, or scarcely
IN part, by partial exhibition Of its
beauties here and there in patches, so
nothing short Of a full publication of the
lectures under consideration would ena.
ble the reader who has not heard ofairlv
appreciate them. We had thought "a
give a synopsis, but find We cannot do
it. Doubtless Mr.. Eliot vii. not only
soon repeat the course in sou.e larg.

by friends; others are Of the homeless OF
earth, calling no one father or mother
To be homeless is all the passport needed
to open the doors of this noble institu-
tiOn of which all Good Templars are
justly proud, and which all humanita-
rians bid a fervent God speed. Con-
nected with the institution are two
schools, with principal aud assistant
teachers; the principal has charge Of the
boys at all times, the matron Of the girls
outside Of school. There is, besides the
officers named, a nurse, seamstress,
farmer, and four servants in the kitchen,
diniug-roOm, and laundry
