lows, namely-That such indirect claims as those

surance, the proongation OF the war and the ad-
supnression of the rebeilion@First. were not in.
cuded in the Treaty OF Washington; and further,
and second, should not be admitted in principle as
growing out of the acts committed by particular
vessels, alleged to have been enabled to commit
depredatons upon the shipping OF belligerent, by
reason of such want OF due diligence in the per-
formance OF the neutral obligations as that which
Is imputed by the United States to Great Britain;
and


The above was in the proposition originally
submitted to the Senate by the President.


ADDITIONAL ARTICLE TO THE TREATY OF WASHING

ROME, June 25 1872.
The Pope to-day received the members Of the Ger
man Literary Club Of this city, and in the course Of
his remarks upon the occasion made use OF the
following language 1.-THE persecution OF Catholics
has commenced in Germany, but they display cour-
age under affiction, and have notified the German
government that the persecution OF the Church is
folly. The Church, said the Holy Father, remains
triumphant. We have asked Prince Bismarck how
1t is that the once contented German bishops have
according to the expressed belief OF the German
government, been suddenly transformed into dan
gerous cOnspirators. No reply has yet been
ceived. Let us pray to our Father in heaven that
the stone may fall that will complete the overthrow
OF the Colossus"

WAITING FOB AN EXPOSITION. locun
tenens Of the Mobile Register expresses the be-
lief that the remarks attributed to the editor
in-chief at the Fifth Avenue Conference-to
wit "That he had been against Greeley, but
his people were SO demoralized that they were
ready to accept Greeley to beat Grant, and he
would make no further opposition" not
correctly reported. 1t is added that until the
'editor-in-chief ''speaks for himself, through
the columns Of the Register, its readers will not
know his views upon the situation as affected
by this conference" The public will await
with interest the exposition to be given in the
premises by 30 distinguished Southern
politician as the editor of the REGISTER.

A race came of in the rainy weather yesterday
between the Brogan and Dart, open boats. Few
witnessed 1t, and the ardor OF those present was
as efectuay dampened were their clothes. The
wind was southeast and blowing fresh and the
start was made at forty-one minutes past ten
O'Clock from the can buoy OF Robbins Reef
Light. The course was to and around a stake
boat or Long Dock, Erie Basin, q distance
due southeast of about five miles, and was
doubled. The Dart Ia owned in Brooklyn
and the Brogan Is owned in Jersey City. The result
Of the race was such as had been anticipated
from the beginning, the Dart winning easily, and
the delegation from Brooklyn were in consequence
greatly elated

Grandson Allen.


The name of Allen is one by no means
uncommon, and many of those who have
borne it have become famous. First and fore
most we have the glorious Ethan Allen, of
Revolutionary memory, who believed that
the gods of the hills were not those of the
valleys and won for himself fame among
the green mountains of Vermont equal to that
of Rob Roy in the highlands of Scotland
Then there is the well known Barbara Allen,
the heroine of the touching ballad, whose
story is familiar to the lovers Of poetry all
over the world. Arabella Allen, whose name
lis SO closely identified with the names of Bob
Sawyer and the Marchioness, cannot be for
gotten whenever the genealogy of the great
Allen family is in dispute; and our own The.
ALLEN would, no doubt, feel neglected should
he remain unmentioned in the same connec-
lion. Of all these Aliens of course the one
whose relationship is the most to be desired
is our grand Green Mountain hero, the leader
of the sturdy Vermonters in the colonial
troubles and in the Revolutionary war, and the
imam who shared with Arnold the honors of
Hiconderoga- We are at present in the heat of
a newspaper discussion as to who is the Simon
Pure grandson and ineal descendant of this
dead and gone Revolutionary soldier. One
ETHAN Allen, of this city, who is prominent and
hblesupporter of Greeley for the Presidency, has
recently been at Chappaqua with the woodchop-
ping Sage of that interesting locality, and an
hllusion he made while there to Vermont tree
probably induced another Ethan Allen Allen,
also of New York, to suppose that the Greeley
champion claimed descent from the great
Vermonter. So Ethan Allen Allen addressed q
letter to the HERALD yesterday, in which he
aeclared himself to be the only surviving
grandson of Colonel Ethan Allen, of Revolution
ery memory, and requested us to oblige him
by stating that sthis Greeley Allen is
mot in the slightest manner connected
with the family of the old hero"
But Grandson Allen, not contented with this,
goes step further and expresses the hope that
ETHAN Allen-the "Greeley Allen'-will be
good enough to apply to the next Legislature
ito have his name changed. Grandson Allen is
evidently incensed at the presumption of any
one but genuine Allen bearing the revered
name of his grandsire, and does not recognize
the compliment paid to his predecessor by the
godfathers and godmothers Of the Greeley
ALLEN in his baptism.


To-day we publish response from Ethan
iAllen-the Greeley Allen-very short and very
emphatic in which he states that he is no
descendant of the Revolutionary Green Noun
tain colonel. This, we presume, will satisfy
Grandson Allen, SO far as his pride of pedigree
lis concerned. But the Greeley Allen goes
further, and insinuates that the coveted in
htials E. A. may stand not only for Ethan
!Allen, but for Egotistical ASS as well. This is
10 point we leave the two Aliens to decide for
themselves, simply promising that after this
singular correspondence it will not be surpris-
ing if Greeley Allen should take the advice of
Grandson Allen and actually apply to the next
Legislature for change of name.

j i'm was poor little colored boy, who had
no father, and whose mother worked very
hard in the kitchen Of lady, for food and
clothes for herself and her little son.


Now Jim could have very few Of the little
treasures which so delight the hearts Of boys
and girls, whether their skin be white or
black. So when the nice, soft, white snow
fell, and covered the bare, dead earth from
sight, and every little ooy in NJ was wild
with delight, and in such eager haste to reach
the hill with his sled, poor jim could only
hide his cold, bare hands iu his pockets, and
watch the sports of the more fortunate
children.


Whenever little boys sled broke down,
or any accident occurred, shout from Jim
always brought him to the spot, and any aid
jim could give was cheerfully and freely
given. But as | watched their sport from
my window, was sure that there was ever a
longing, wisbful look in Jim's dark eye as he
righted up some crippled sled, and saw tf
little owner joyousy rush down the hill again
| used to wonder why these little boys did
not lend a sled to Jim now and then, 50 that
he might look glad and happy with the rest
but the time was always so very short, and
the school.bell would ring SO soon, and every
little boy was SO eager to get just as many rides
as he could.


Poor i'm seemed quite forgotten, only wher
help was needed, and then | never knew jim
to refuse.


"Well did poor Jim go through the win
ter without any fun3" | hear some impatien
little reader ask. No, am glad to say tha
there was joy even for little Jim before thu
winter was over. 1t so happened that ole
Santa Claus came that way in his yearly
round of making good boys and girls happy
and what should he bring jim but the yer,
prettiest sled seen on the hill that winter
The little boys all seemed very glad to Sc
Jim with his new sled. And then thought
as looked from my window, surely thes
little boys are not selfish after all, only 81
eager for their own sport as to forget the les
fortunate children around them.

The Philadelphia Ledger gives the fol-
lowing account Of the method used by the
professional rat catchers Of Paris to destroy
the rats which infest the sewers, slaughter
houses, and other localities in that city =
Il" They take deep tub, with water on the
bottom, and little elevation in the middle,
like an island, on which is only place for just
one rat to sit. The top is covered, and has a
large balanced valve, opening downward on
the middle Of this valve piece of fried pork
or cheese is fixed, and when the rat walks on


it to get the cheese the valve goes down, drops


the rat in the water, and moves back in posi-
tion. A road is made from rat hole to the
top of the tub by means of piece of board
rubbed with cheese, so as to make the walk
attractive for the rats. In the course of a
single night some ten or twenty, or even more,
rats may 60 down, and if the island was not
there they would be found almost all alive in
the morning, quietly swimming around but
the provision of the little island saves the
troulls of killing them, because their ego
tstic instinct Of sef.preservation causes them
to fight for the exclusive possession of the
island, of which, in the morning the strongest
rat is found in solitary possession, all the
others being killed or drowned around him."

of such end, will help us to remember that
this world and the fashion of it passeth

begin his life as q merchant instead Of car

From the San Diego (oal.) Union, Dec. 81


The ceremony of choosing compadres
and comrades for the coming year-a
custom peculiar to the people of Spain
and Mexico-is TO be performed on the
advent of the new year by some of the
ladies OF this city. The custom is an old
one. and its origin dates. back many
years. The manner Of its performance
Is as follows: The names of ladies and
gentlemen known to be mutually ac-
quainted are written upon slips of paper
and deposited in hats, the name of lady
being drawn simultaneously from one
hat with that of a gentleman from
another, the two whose names are thus
drawn to be compadres and comrades to
each other for the year The obligations
incurred toward each other by the rela-
tionship are very simple. The gem
tleman is to be the escort of the lady
on any and every occasion that she may
desire; and she, in turn, must consider
herself engaged for any and every en-
tertainment which he may wish to at
tend. OF course the relationship can be
dissolved by mutual consent, either tenn
porarily or permanently, during the pc
riod for which the agreement is made.
The custom is an agreeable one in this
particular, that it ins-res to both lady
and gentleman an escort or companion,
thus doing away with the disagreeable
incidents which sometimes occur through
not having partners for an entertain
ment And it also secures to the lady
having compadre the positive certainty
of having some one TO dance with at
every ball.

WHOLESALE BUSINESS. B. Hooper 6 Go. of Arizona City, have closed out their retail department and are exclusively in the wholesale and commission business. We believe theirs the only exclusively wholesale establishment in Arizona, and the fact of its being made such IS evidence that there is field here for wholesal- ing and that their House has met with success therein. Their facilities for the wholesale trade are not sur passed, and without question they can supply interior merchants to advan- tage in time and money. Read their advertisement and inquire into their prices, terms, &c.
