NEW YORK, Dec. ‘31, 1876
POLITICAL.
After the tragedy the farce. It is well for
every serious matter to go out of the public
mind with a laugh. The, laugh after the
fierce excitement of the election-and the dis-
pute that follows it, is the neat trick the pool
room gamblers have served the republican
better-s. John Marrissey and several other
democratic gamblers—the proprietors of
gambling hells, be it known, are all demo-
crats, and very prominent ones—conspired.
with the Tilden managers in this city,- to
manipulate the pool rooms in the interest (f
the great reformer. They didn't. put upa cent
of money, nor was it necessary. In these
places no man see’nybody’s money but his
own. When he puts up a hundred dollars on
Hayes he presumes some one else has put up
the proper amount on Tilden; at all events,
he gets a ticket certifying to that fact. Now
Mr. Tilden’s game with the gamblers—It is a
characteristic of" Mr. Tilden that he is not
above anything~was to have the pool sellers
announce every night large odds on Tilden
as against Hayes, some nights the betting be-
ing two to one. Every night the Associated
Press sent all over the country the betting
market, and.~the.managers: here telegraphed
leading deni (rats the 'transactio'ns at 'the
pool rooms asitlie bank sends the business of
the day to'their country correspondents. And
it. had the effect intended. To see such odds
offered, at what was supposed to be the very
center of information, dishearteud republi-
cane, who felt it was no use to fight if the
battle was against. them from the beginning,
and it swept into the ranks of the democracy
all that class of political drift-wood that
wants to keep won the big side. Now, had
Mr. Tilden actually put up this money it.
would have cost him immensely. Tickets
were out in John Morrissey‘s rooms repre-
senting a million and a; half of dollars, of
which the democracy, at the odds that were
given, should have had a million. But be-
hold you, the moment it became certain that
Hayes was elected, and that he would be in
augurated, Mr. Morrissey issues a pronuncia-
mento, declaring the election ' so much in
doubt that he feels it his dut‘to declare all
bets ofl’, and that he woulILrefund money on
tickts, less his commission three per cent.
The Republicans who bet' go up and get their
money less the per cent., the ' democracy hav-
ing had the use of it for months. Had Til-
den been elected there would have been no
declaring off, but the conspirators would
have held every'dollar. I have no sympathy
with these men who bet, and I ofily narrate
this incident to show with what dirty tools
the great reformer undertook to carve his way
' to the presidency.
By the way, let no Republican feel alarmed
about the warlike demonstrations on the part
of the Democracy in Indiana. All that stufi
gets its inspiration from the Democratic Gen-
eral Committee here, and is done at their or-
der; The game now is to hold meetings, and
pass war resolutions, and indulge in all sorts
of bombast, with the hope that timid repub-
licans will be frightened to the extent of be-
ing willing to surrender their rights for the
sake of peace. The democratic editorial mill
here is filling the country democratic press
with ready—made editorials all shrieking for
blood,and their agents are traversing the coun-
try in every direction fanning the' flame.
They don’t mean to fight, for the South will
not support them, and the moment Hayes is
inaugurated they will settle down as calmly
as sleeping babies, and give attention to their.
neglected bar rooms and farfi'bankm I must
confess, however, that it is a little hard for
these fellows who have been eating husks for
sixteen years, to come so near the crib with-
out being able to get their noses into it.
. Fasmox ITEMS.
Cloaks are now the larger part of the dress.
Dolmans and sacques reach below the knee.
Circulars and ulstcrs‘nearly cover the dress.
This is most comfortable for winter, and
looks so, besides being healthy, because they
protect the lower part of the figure without
the Icavy skirts, which must be worn with
street cloaks. The Bebe bonnet addsanother
item of comfort, as it is an exact copy of a
child's bonnet, covering the ears and back of
the head, a point greatly desired by elderly
ladies. And these smali'bdnn'ct's areas hand-
some as t-héy are snug, in seal fur or dark
velvet with cardinal or rich purple face trim-
mings under the bunches of yellow valen-
ciennes, which softens the face.
THE POOR Auvxlvs ern Us.
Careful statistics show 50,000 working me-
chauics in this city out of work, representing
about 100,000'people without the means of
living. Laborers on the new streets are em-
ployed for $1.25 per day, and ~ citizens gram
ble because they are not cut down to 00 cents.
Men-hire out on farms about New York for
$4.00 a month and board, and come to the
city for better wages, only to apply at station
houses for a place to sleep. Thirty respecta-
ble mechanics applied. to be sent to the work
house on Blackwell's Island for the winter,
rather than starve,as they could get no work.
There is less work and less hope for the poor
this winter than last. ' The millions
wasted in the last ten years by cor-
rupt officials would finish the needed public
works of the city, and keep poor out of want
for a generation. Nay, more, 25 cents a week
from the 50,000 and more in the city who
can afiord itwould relieve all the distress in
the city for the winter. . i
The appeals that are made to the .lifierent,
charitable associations are pitiful. A woman
and her daughter for instance, in a hall bed-
room, without fire, light or clothing, sleeping
on the cold floor, with nothing over or under
them, and only such food as they can pick
up in the streets; families destitute of fuel
as well as food and clothing; families on the
street without even the shelter of a roof. But
why enumerate? There are 50,000 men out
of employment. There are thousands of wo-
men in the same fix, and the cold is intense.
It is pitiful. And the trouble is, the charita--
bly inclined are puzzled to know what to do.
The honest poor suffer, die, and make no
sign, while the sturdy professional mendicant
fills the streets with his hnwl. The benevo-
lent darc not give on the strea. for distress Is
so artfully simulated that it takes .a very
acute man to know what to do. It is not
pleasant to give charity and feel that the
Chances are even that it will be sqilandered
in a-gin-mill in a half-hour. A few organi-
zations have it reduced down to a system,and
are doing good. If any of your readers want
to do;good. let. them send clothing, old or
new, provisions. money or anything that can
be used, to St. John’s'Gu‘ild, New York, and
they may be sure that same deserving poor
woman has, received a benefit.

The failure of the Continental gave the life
insurance wreckers of the city their opportu-
nity, which, like other pirates, they were

Jersey Mutual expects to make up out of the
assets of the dead company, which must be
something. President Stedwell, lb Presi

are going down every day. The number of
people who could not afford whole houses,
who have gone into flats, is enormous, anti
the result is an immense number of empty
tenements. The old rents will never be re-
established, for the hard time's have taught
people how to live cheaply. A good flat,
which is one floor of a building subdivided
into nine rooms, which is enough for an ordi-
nary family, can bellad now for from $25 to
$50 a month, heated. The same amount of
room in a house would have cost not less than
$2,000 a year.

~ Business in general is dull, and will be till
the presidential scare is 011'. There is one
encouraging feature in it however. The ex-
ports over imports and the tolerable certain-
ty of the inauguration of President Hayes
has sent gold down to the lowest point it has
reached since the war, and business will here-
after bc done on a surcr and sounder basis.
So, after all, the business Incn are feeling
very well, even if they are not handling the
goods they were. They are hopeful.

OYSTER CUIxrlvA'I‘on l.\' FRANCE. The
history of:the origin of the French Govern-
ment enterprises at St. Brieux and Archachon.
is of interest. .. In 1858, owing to the great
"scarcity of oysters 'which had prevailed for
some time, M. Coste, a most distinguished
”member of the institute of France, who had
for some years devoted himself to the study
and promotion of pisciculture, turned his at-
tention, with the most excellent. results, to
the promotion of oyster cultivation. By
command of the Emperor, he entered into an
inquiry .on the subject, visited what may be
called the parent source of oyster culture——
Lake Fusaro, in Italy—and commenced op-
erations in France. The result of his re—
searches aud efforts is to be found in his just-
ly celebrated work addressed to the Emperor,
which should, be read by all who desire to. be
conversant with the subject. It is much to
be regretted that but a very brief notice of
what that eminent man' accomplished can be
here given.
One of his first undertakings was carried
out at St. Brieux.. This consisted in placing
parent oysters, at certain distances,on the
bottom of the bay, over an area of 40 miles,
and fascincs or bundles of twigs were sunk,
attached to large stones. The result exceed:
.ed all expectations, as many as 30,000 oysters
being, in some instances, attached to fascincs
—nearly all were plentifully covered. Un-
fortunately, however, this most promising
experiment was frustrated by severe storms,
which covered thebottom of the bay with
sand, so as to completely bury the fascincs,
M. Costc’s next operation was at Arcachon,
on the Bay of Biscay—a land-locked basin
equal to about 30,000 English acres. Many
years ago a very important oyster fishery had
existed there, yielding annually nearly 80,-
000,000 oysters, valued at £10,000. As al-
leged, the fishery hadbecome nearly destroy-
ed from over-dredging. Under M. Cost-e’s
directions, in 1859, two imperial pares—
Grand Ces and Crastorbe—were constructed
The first collectors used were wood, to which
shells, &c.,'wcrc attached by a resinous cc'
ment; these decayed rapidly, and were re
placed by tiles,~ shells, and stone collectors:
The first two years the proceeds . were very
considerable ; subsequently _
falling 00", but, 1869 appear. , oihavc .produ-
ccd a very large crop. During six; years the
quantity removed from.thc imperial pare was
nearly sixteen millions of oysters}- this was
independent of the pares offiprivat—e proprie-
tors, many of them concessionsor‘allotments
by government, varying frdm one to eight
acres—Cassell’s Technical Educator.
Passmnxr—xnnor Haves A: I) THE SOUTH
In his letter, of acceptance Governor Hayes
pointed out to the Southern people the true
road to peace, union and prosperity, and
promised them the aid of the general govern-
ment, so far as it could be extended, in secur-
ing honest and competent state governments.
Here is wllat’hc said in that letter: _
The condition of the southern. states at-
tracts the attention and commands the sym-
party of the whole Union. In their progress-
ive recovery from the effects of the. war their
first necessity is an intelligent and honest ad-
ministration” of government. which will pro—
mote all classes of citizens in their politiCal and
private rights. What the South most: needs
is “ peace," and peace depends upon the su-
premacy of; the law. There can be no endu-
ring peace if the'constitutional rights of. any
portion of the people are habitually ,disre-
garded. ' ‘ ,
A division of political parties resting mere-
ly upon sectional lines is always unfortunate,
and may be disastrous. The welfare of the
Sonthililte’ that of every other part of the
country, depends upon the attractions it can
offer to labor and immigration and to capital.
But laborers will not go and capital will not.
be ventured where the constitution and the
laws are set at defiance, and distraction, ap-
prehension and alarm take the place of peace-
loving and law-abiding social life. The mor-
al and material prosperity of the southern
states can be most etfectuillly advanced by a
hearty and generous recognition of the rights
of all by all—a recognition without reserve
or exception. With such recognition fully
accorded, it would be practicable to promote,
by the influence of all legitimate agencies of
the general government, the efi'orts of the
people of those states to obtain for themselves
the blessings of honest and capable govern-
ment. If elected, I shall consider it not
only my duty, but it will be my ardent de-
sire, to labor for the attainment of this end.

Here is one of the pleasantest little roman-
ces that ever came out of France. 0n the
19th of November, 1838. a fire broke out in a
convent of little girls at Limoges, and great
difficulty was experienced in rescuing them.
,It was suddenly discovered that one of the
children had been forgotten in an out of.tlle-
way room. Hope of saving her was given
up when a young woman dashed through the
crowd crying, {get me tr ',’,’ rushed through
thc'flames in spite of the efforts of the fire-
men to stop her, and after many - anxious
minutes, when she was given up for lost, re-
turned amid the smoke and flames with the
cbild'safe in her arms. Louis Philippe sent
the heroine a gold medal. A French captain
who had witnessed the rescue, married her.
The young woman is now Marechale dc Mac-
Mahon, Duchess of Magenta; the captain is
President of the French republic. It pays
to sage children in Frame. '

Birch had a complimentary dinner at the
Central house recently, at which she is said
to have related anecdotes of events which
took place in 1770.

Looking for Love.
Ever since morning l’ve looked for Love,
I’ve searched the city through everywhere;
Everywhere sought but futile my care—
Nobody has seen Love !
1 ring at the house across the way,
Ring as gently as I know how ;
The door is opened and I say,
Making the porter my best bow:
“Good porter, say if Love is in—
Ilere he resides, they tell me 30."
Tile porter answers with a grin,
“He went out not five minutes ago,"
I at the neighboring portal tap,
Expecting I shall find Love there ;
A husband sad from some mishap
Encounters mmfipon the stair .
“What would you ?" “Love, I think, is
here,
They said he stepped across the way.”
“They’ve misinformed you, then, my dear ;
Lovc hasn‘t been here since yesterday.”
At a more stately residence
1 try the nocker next—rat-tat I
A handsome woman issues thence ;
“Love's in 1” “Why, who on earth is that;
0, yes, that little fool you mean,
Too well known in the quarter here ‘: .
He hasn’t in this house been seen,
Upon my word, this twenty year.”
Last to a millionaires hotel '
(A happy man is he) I come,
lAnd greet the owner : “Kindly tell
Me, sir, if Love I’ve found at home ?"
“Love ? Oh, the naked brat," he says,
, “Who Madame Venus had to mother ;
I knew him well in other days,
But now we don’t speak to each other."
So, ever since morning I’ve looked for Love,
I’ve searched the City through everywhere;
Everywhere sought but vain my care—
Nobody has soon Love 1

I
Golonda may boast her‘easurcs,
But rarer and fairer than these
Are the marvels of delicate gemwork
Which he hangs on the .wondering trees.
A broadcast of diamonds dings he
Afar, with a lavish hand,
Till the tiniest leaf is richer
Than any belle in the land.
At his touch the maple crimsons
In every sensitive leaf ;
And the sturdy oak frowns and reddens
To feel that its glory is inef.
Jack Frost has a fateful finger,
And he writes upon many a wall
A fiat as dread as the “mene”
Of old, in Bclshazzar’s hall.
It needs not the wisdom of Daniel
To decipher the message he brings,
For he comes from the bitter Northland,
Where never the linnct sings——
The (aunt-courier of Winter—-
(A grim old despot he),
Who sits in his frozen glory,
On a throne in the polar sea.

Christmas in Norway.
The great festival of the year in Norway,
as among all Germanic nations, is Christmas.
Whether it ows all its sanctity to its associa-
tion with the birth of our Savior is, how-
:ver, an open question; for many customs
still kept alive in the remotcr valleys seem
-.0 point beyond the beginning of the Chris-
ian era, to the time when the Norscmen ate
a .rse—flesh in honor of Odin and Thol' and
r‘rey. The festival as the. retaining of the
old name indicates, is as yet strongly tinctur
ed with reminiscences of the old pagan Yule.
l‘racing the character of Christ and his apos-
lcs as they appear in many popular Jam-chm
-nd legends, the conclusion lies near that the
,lcople have, consciously or not, transferred
uuch that was dear to them in the old gods
to the new deity, and thus, by a sort of com-
promise between thc old faith and the new,
lave produced a divine type. which is. at all
events, sufficiently national to appeal strong-
y to their Norse hearts. This nationalizing
if one’s divinity is, of course, not peculiar
0 Norway; it would have been more singu—
or if Norway had shown no trace of it's
The preparations for the Yule-tide, in the
my of provisioning the house, would, to
American eyes, look perfectly enormous.
Jaking and brewing and butchering keep
he whole household busy 'during the last
hrce weeks preceding the festival. And the
fact that the process is repeated year after
year probably proves that it is necessary.
.elvcry man, woman, or child, who comes
within a stone‘s throw of the house during
he holidays (which last until a week after
New Year) must be invited in and urged to
eat and drink without regard for comfort.
Even the birds are to have their share of the
Christmas joy. As soon as the church bells
"mug in the feast” at five o’clock in the af-
.ernoon of Christmas Eve, the father of the
muse takes his. richest sheaf of cats or bar.
ley and attaches it to the end of a pole, which
.3 nailed to the gable of the barns or store-
uouses. The mother and the children stand
by enjoying the sight of the happy birds
.luttering around the sheaf while the father
.vill perhaps quote the passage about God’s
:are even for the sparrow, wherefore it is
right that the sparrow too, should rejoice on
he day when Christ was born.
Among the many evening visitors which
are sure to drop in to taste the Christmas
new, some are apt to be disguised by gro-
vesques masks and otherwise fantastically
.Iccoutered. T‘se are called Yule-bucks,
possibly because the most common mask may
nave been that of a goat Or some other horned
creature. At present I do not. how that any
special kind of disguise is preferred. The
rule seems to be, the more grotesque, the
better.
The German custom of having poor chil.
Iren wander about on Christmas Eve, ca'ry-
ug a large lighted star of canvas, represeut~
ng the star of Bethlehem, prevails also in
Norway. No one can hear their shrill, tiny
voices in the snow under his window, singing
he dear familiar carols, and refuse-them their
well-earned penny—Sorrowr-rfor January.
