CHICAGO, January 8, 1661.-The
below zero" weather has left Chicago
for the present, and with the milder
temperature comes the beautiful
snow. As | write the feecy PARTICLES
are falling in such masses as TO resem
BILE a white mantle being gently spread
over the whole landscape. The jingle
Of bells is everywhere heard. as
sleighs rapidly sweep along full of
laughing people, out for a gay time.
In this city Sunday is the occasion set
apart for leisure and pleasure, conse-
quently the reader need not be sus.
picious at the statement that every one
who can afford the luxury is out in a.
sleigh having a good time while it

A little romantic reality is the latest
Chicago sensation: Max Palacheck,
a young Israelite, is one of the char
a%cterS, and Miss Eliza Nuerberger, a
beautiful believer in Christ, is the
other. Cupid sent his arrows into
the hearts of each simultaneously.
The young lady, to learn household
duties, surreptitiously, or rather in
cognito, engaged with Max's mother
as servant in her luxurious home. In
time the secret was discovered, and
the memorable parent separated
the lovers. However, this programme
did not prove eficaciOus. Yesterday
the interested parties met, procured a
license and were made one by Justice
Brown. May they live long, prosper
every way, and be generally happy.

platonically attached to each other.
This feeling displayed itself viciously
in an attack upon Miss Annie yester-
day. The latter now has leeehes to

nGAHFrELD,s MANI
Queer Experiences OF Tom NiehOJ mt Al
hauy-A Mystery.

Tom Nichol had some queer expert
ences at Albany When he left the Delavan House
for the train on the occasion of his first visit col
ored boy carried his valise. As they were w2lking
along the boy looked at him and said:
al know you. Yous Mr.. Gahfeld's man, amt
ye?"
"Oh. yes" said Tom, 'Pm Garfeld's man."
"Fse Jim Blaine's man" said the boy.
"Is that so?" returned Nichol.
"Yaas, sir" replied the boy; they's put me on
at Mr.. Conkling's door, too"
"Ah, ha." exclaimed Nichol.
"Yes SIR said the boy. AZ hasn't found out
much yit, though"
The next time Mr. Nichol visited the State eapi
tai he stopped at another house, but before he
came away he met the boy again, who instantly
recognized him as "Gahfelds man." and an
nounced that he was still Jim Blaines man."
"Dey's something going on heah," said the boy,
" dat ought to be stopped, dye hear mel"
"What is it?" said Nichol.
"Dis writing and figurin' all de time," said the
boy. Sometimes dey keeps me up dah till two
o'clock in de mo'nin. Den dey has dem proofs
come in, and Mr.. Johnson he look at 'em, and he
Civ EN- to me to take down to Mr.. Conklin. Last
one took TO Mr.. Conllin' while he was eatin' in

over and marked places on it with his pencil, and
then Civ 1t back to me. didn't have time to read
it all over, but twas something about Jim Blaine,
you just bet your mortal life. Use got to keep my
eye skinned fur dem fellows, fur dey's up to all
manner of deyilment" And then the train went
away, and Mr.. Niehol was compelled to bid good
bye to I" Jim Blaine's man." The more he thinks
about it the more he wonders what the boy meant.

The Eir0inianS.

The President will, it is understood, be
visited to-day by deputation of Vir-
sinians, headed by General Wickham,
who are to urge him to discourage the
union of ali patriotic men of the Old
Dominion against the Bourbon Democ-
racy in the coming campaign. 1t may be
imagined that the chronic ofice-mongers,
anxious to preserve their prestige, will be
in full accord with the shrewd old con-
federate brigadier who is straight Re-
publican, while at the same time
he maintains his standing with
the First Families of Virginia. As
the party is dangerous only when
not in action, he serves the
Rourbons best who serves the Republican
party best in keeping aloof from the Lib
erai or Readjuster party. The President
understands the whole question, and is
fully committed to the Readjuster candi-
dates. 1t would be well if he could in
fuence those who go to influence him.
One Of the most prominent Republicans
in Virginia once told US that General
Wickham said in his presence that if
General Malone were to come into the
Republican party at one door he would
go out at the other. And yet many North
ern Republicans-including all the Re-
publican United States Senators-believe
that General Malone has done much for
equal political rights in Virginia. 1t
would be supreme folly for the Presi-
dent to aid the Bourbons in Virginia.

A Word Of Warming.

The condition of affairs at Albany is
calculated to fill the minds of patriots
with gloomy forebodings. The corrupt
methods of the Administration ring there
seem likely to match in infamy the open
and shameless purchase of votes with
money by the New York Central Railroad
crew.
The President of the United States will
not be guiltless if he allows the appoint
ing power to be prostituted for the MAIN
tenance of his unnatural quarrel with the
ex-senator. If the testimony now being
taken shall establish the fact that places
In the Presidents gift are being promised
IN his name in exchange for votes of leg
islators on the senatorial question, will
he not become an accessory after the fact
if he does not Immediately cancel all
such pledges? If Robertson shall be
found pledging places in the custom
house at New York for the same
purpose, his retention in Office would
doubtless be a high crime on the
part of the President. The President,
and all officers under him, are our serv-
ants, not our masters; and if they seek to
barter public offices to beat down the de-
Tenders of the peoples rights and exalt
mere creatures of despotic power to seats
in the Senate, they will kindle popular
wrath, in the fierce flames of which they
will be consumed.

An American Turfmnn.

What is Ten Brock, the Kentuckian,
who first introduced American race horses to the
English turf, doing in England? The old man is
nowhere as compared with LOrillard and Jim
Keene. We learn that Ten Brock has taken No.
d Carlton House Terrace, the residence of the
Dowager Lady Dunmore, for the season. He came
back to the United States about eight years ago
after having been severely crippled by his ventures
on the English turf, and wanted every one on this
side of the pond to understand that he had asso-
ciated with Englands best nobility, you know !!
The poor old "tof'' belongs to the category of
Americans of whom General Grant spoke with
such contempt. who, after residence in London
or Paris think it isn't "ton" to be known as citi
zens of this Republic-TRe TTarder.

General Grant has seen fit to converse
upon the foregoing subject, and to express
his opinions of the merits of the contro-
versy. He takes substantially the
view above presented. General Grant
is a reputable citizen of this Repub-
lie, and as such may freely utter his
opinions, and even cause them to be
printed. The Constitution does not limit
this privilege to the fiippant blackguards
who use it mainly to deny the right of
its exercise by others. The fact that
General Grants genius, courage, and pa
triotism guided the Nations heroes
to the successful termination of the
civil war, and the fact that he
was for eight years a wise and
honest President, do not, as his ene-
mics suppose, disfranchise him, or make
his privileges as a citizen any less than
those enjoyed by the professors of defa-
nation and scurrility who have been
engaged for ten years in throwing their
native mud at him. Every true Stalwart
Republican in the land rejoices to see
affairs of the party, and they will not
fear that his utterances will pass un-
needed. The bread-and-butter brigade
viii find, as of old, that The masses of the
Republican party are devoted to manly
methods, as well as to Stalwart principles,
and that the power of the party
is neither to pass away nor be lodged per-
manently in the hands of hypocrites.
traitors, and mercenaries. The bribery
and corruption by which the railroad
Administration forces at Albany seek to
subyert the Republican cause to their
own base ends viii prove to be the de-
struction of The Administration in whose
behalf it is praeticed and by which it is
openly tolerated. Let Republicans every
where take courage; the shams which
have held short sway will soon be
stencil in the nostrils of the people, and
men who, like Grant and Conkling, have
been in earnest for Republican ideas
will in the councils of the party dispiace
the tricksters and traders of the hour.

Bradley.

The gravest point attested against
Bradley is that he was once in inebriate asylum
That is a highly respectable fact in this State.
Most men do not possess the money, the friends
nor the resolution to start for the inebriate asy-
lum at the right time. If it should be your chance
to go to that institution you would probably find
yourself in the most distinguished company you
had ever met, not excepting the New York Legis-
lature or Congress. In this age man who feels
liquor overcoming him and dragging him down is
wise to go to an inebriate asylum for while as
another sick man to go to physician.-Gah.
