men of America must not be begger= ed, in order to carry out these high falutin ideas of universal love. Self preservation is the first law which applies to the prosperity of nations as well os the safety of the individ. ual, and the sooner our Lawmakers recognize these cardinal facts the better it will be f,rus as a people, and our country as nation.
 Ire city is rapidly filling up with strangers, who are the advance guard of the army of ofice-seekers. Familiar faces from the wilds Of Dakota, the Sierras of California, the plains of the great West, citizens of the Sucker, Hoosier, Buckeye States, ad infinitum,' are mixed in the great cOncourse with our friends from the East who part their hair in the middle, forming a cosmopolitan az gregation which by March 4th, will be an army indeed.
 Pennsylvania Ave, from the White House to the Capitol, is fast assuming it's inaugural appearance. Every lot, every park, every balcony and window is being prepared for the seating of visitors, who are eX- pected here by the hundreds of thousands to witness the grand parade of the inaugural ceremonies. The reader, who is not familiar with these ceremonies would be immense Iy surprised to witness the concurse which these great inaugural cere- monies bring forth. The citizen who has hired a seat is very likely to be sandwiched in between negroes and whites. There will probably be at least 100,0 GOO negroes to witLess the inaugural eeremonines. The oecas- ion also brings out a great number of pickpockets, blacklegs, and scoundrels from all parts of the Union, who gather for the purpose of plunder. It may be truly said that this inauguration rose has also it's thorns.
 In my letters, commencing with next week, I will ake up the subject of the new navy and in a series of articles try to give such information regarding the navy and it's construc- tion, our gun shops, etc, as may prove instructive and interesting, and W ill many times pay for the an- nual subscription of this journal.

SHETLAND PONIES.
An Attempt to Breed These Beautiful
 Animals to He Attempted
 Here

Messrs. Jim Allen anu Joe Grom- well, proprietors of the Arlington bar, detrmined to engage in the breeding of thoroughbred Shetland ponies, and for this purpose have al. ready secured four very fine animals, with registered pedigrces.
 The stallion, which is only 44 inches high, will arrive here in flaw days, as will also another mare.
 The pair of ponies which the firm now have in this city were purehas- ed from the Troy Pony Farm, at Troy, N. Y. They are both thoroughbreds and very valuable animals, and are little beauties in every sense of the word.
 Tie Shetland pony always brings a very high price in the market, for it is the gentl2st and kindest of the animal species, and in riding or driv- ing one of them no danger will ever happen to child. They cannot be frightened and never run away or kick.
 Messrs. Allen X Cromwell propose to pay considerable attention to the breeding of these ponies, and from the start made we predict for them great success.

Father Magevney, whose sub feet was, "Battlefeld Memorials, or "Reminiscences of the Late War. The lecturer is one of the most eloquent men in the South, and his style of word-painting is uneXcelled. His flights of eloquence, his finished periods were beautiful and held the attention of his audience as fl by a spell. There were many old soldiers in the audience, who listened with delight as the speaker, recalled rem iniscences of the war with which thev were famiar. The lecture was good, in all the word implies, and each me- aber of the large audi ence would he pleased to hear il again.
