¥ CIIICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1870 {PROTESTANT ORPHAN ASYLUH Annual Meeting of the Man- agers of the Imsti- tution. Reports _of Officers---Gratifying Results Achieved. The Asylum Out of Debt, and a Thousand Alead. The annual meeting of tho Protestsnt Orphan Asylum, No. 787 Michigan avenue, was held last evening, many prominent citizens being present, smong them Mre. J. F. Barnard, formerly of Chicago, and for 16 years a Directress of the institution. Mr. G. Van Schaak was elected President pro fem. The Sceretary of the Board of Trustees, Eldridge E. Keith, acted as Secre- tary, and resd the following report of the Secre- tary of the Board of Directresses, Mrs, H. M. Willmarth: MRS, WILLMABTE'S REPORT. During the year ending on the second Thursday in December, there have been roceived intothe Asylum 247 Children; 174 have been _sent out to homes 3 17 have died, The aversge number of the family kas been 90, but since the advent of cold weather that average has ‘been largely increased ; 100 children last month taxed the capacit; for accommodation to ite ut- most, and wet tho demand for children Zor atloption ia zlways largely in excess of the supply, and would remain so if all our children were surrvo- dered and at our disposal, which is far from being the Caso, After the Src in October, 1671, an nppropriation f £175 2 month was paid to the Asylim from (he Stew- art faad, to provide for the muintenanco of children Whoee widowed mothers were dependent on them- selves for support. This relief was_ continued till Apri of thia sear, Many of thechildren have one ‘Parent, who for various reasons cannot cara for chil- Bren 16 o home of their own, vet can contribute to {heir eapport in the Aeylum by paying a emall amount for ‘Trequently these aroas evidently cases for {86 exercize of tho charities of {be institution as or- hans themselves, At the March meeting of tho irectresscs, M, Paxton reported having visited the Bridewell and Police Courts for the purpose of learn- ing if there wero children thero who would more ‘properly come under our carc, 1t appeared that there Trero constantly brought before the Courts vagrant and homcless children, who were in nowiee subjects for ‘penal institutions, yet for whom mo other place was provided; such the ladies voted to receive into our Acvlom, fot without 3 good deal of uncertainty whether Thoy were justified by tho hope of reclaiming these in Incurring 1he risk of moral contigion which such o couree involved. The Mayor and oficials wero most Teartily glad of OF on in caring for these ‘Waifs, and have cont d to the Asylum many such "children, We feel jusiified in this procedure by the Tesults, This class of inmates consist largely of children eent out bp the New York sacieties, and run- ‘aways from homes; children 60 used to street life, so at home in the streots, that they often find the're- Btraints of o regulated Household unbearable, From this clsss almost entirely 8re oOur IUBAWYS. YLiko the father's house to which the erring cbild miay siways return, the Asslum always receives its own. There are at present those in the family who have been 4aken by parties on trial for adoption and returned as refractory. We feei that our Matron’s tact and skill in ealing with such is guite peculisr to hersclf. Yo desire to express ourtgreat satisfaction with s Hwan in evory way. o believoit would bo very ditti- call to find amoilier combining 0. much esscutive Ebility with ¢he gentler graces, s the sentasation of Aoders. Bowen and Puxton, 3ics Blake was appointed Solicitor for the Asylum, af salary of $30 & month, and travelling expenses, Sho . has collected good desl of provision from _the coun- tor. from s great number of individuals, Wo believe __ it Batter to receive tho aggregate amount necessary to ‘our support from many who contribute 3 little, rather ‘sumsfrom the few, since more aro inter- ested in that way, The contributions throughout the Tear have boon abundant and generous— defailed ne- count of them it would doubtless be tedious to listen 40, useful 2s-each articlo has been. There hzs been recelved at the Asylum in cash, $1,95.20 ; cxpended in mmediate wants, §479,98 ; leaving s balince paid to i, Keith, §1,448,22. The stewardship which Mr, Pax- ton formerly performed was assumed by the ladies eince bis resignation. Mrs. Locke and Afrs. Durand Dave purchased the provisions, much to the satisfac- tion of those concerncd. Scarlet fever, whooping-cough, and typhoid fever Lave been the most troublesome illnesses encountered. Tt is remarkable that, whilo the ages of children ad- ‘mitted range from the infant of a day to sixtecn years, tho deaths are all under six years, There seemsBome- thing sbnormal in the herding together of infants as e ate obliged to do in the nursery. It is hero that the greatest mortality always exists; yet even here the averageis less thax is given by statistics as obtaining among all infants. “The in provements in tho ‘house have made_the labors lighter and much more conveniently performed. e Eachutts b our faily & number of colored chil- ares, pearly all nationalities and religions—never aska ‘queation of an spplicant beyond what is necessary o8 & shouraiice uf tholr nocCRSty. The school taught by Miss Meyers usually numbers ity pupils, from 4 to 16 years of age. They aretaught toread, epell, and write, geography and arithmetic. Some of them mako gratifying progress. As the younger children are more generally sought for adop- tion, the older mot_infrequently remain till situstions are found suitable for them where they earn o liveli- hood. Four such etill have their home in'the Asylnm. Thic ladics cannot refrain from a mention of the un- failing readiness of sttention received by our chil- dren from Dr. Biogham. His _devotion and ®xill have beecn of great avall. The sick of the Asyum have nmever been of secondary ime ortance—all this “sitbout money and without price.” Stk euccoeding year Bas broaght added caus of thankfulncss. The last is no exception, while the charitics inaugurated in the country towns sbout us 13 seed gown ou new soil, from which_ we hopo to resp 2.gn snnual harvest. Itis also true that from our own citizens there has never before been g0 much received, pever before from £o enlarged & circle of contributors, TTo exch of these, and tothe grent Giver, who has put it into their hearts to remember us, our heartfelt grat- itude is due. PHYSICIAN'S REPORT. . Ho next resd4ho report of Dr. R. H. Bing- ham, Physician to the Asylum, the facts of which a7e muainly contained in the report of the Board of Direciresses. The contagious dis- esses, with the exception of small-pox, have been, sccording to the Doctor's report, ex- tremely prevalent, and they have escaped this scourgo only by thoe most thorough and frequent vaccination. ~They had about 50 cases of whooping-cough, nearly as many of measles, and about 20 cases of scarlet fever. Of the 17 deaths that occurred during the year, 12 wero children under 2 years of age, 2 undor 4 years, and 3 of 4, and up to 6 years.

Mr. Keith then congratulated the friends of the institution upon the substantial basis which they bave resched,and eaid it was tho first an- nualmeeting in meny years whep thoy conld say that they were entirely free from debt. He urged tho friends of th institution to renewed efforts in bebalf of the little ones, as the sources for obtaining funds would not be the samo as Intho past yeor. He also calied sttention to the fact that the family expenses of. the institu- tion for the support of more than 100 orphan childfen are much less than those of many pri- vato families in the city, and it would scom that, when so much good can be accomplished with so little, that every lover of humanity should be {nterested and contribute to the mp‘fort of this beaven-born charity. He concluded by paying » tribute to those who have served tho Asylum 50 faithfully. ; ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

Mr. Keith declined the office of Secretary, but <723 persuaded to serve temporarily. A Committeo was appointed to reviso tho by- Laws and to propare an annual roport. The mecting then adjournod. WASHINGTONIAN HOME. Anniversary Exercises at the In- stitution Last Evening. Addresses by Clergymen and Others--- History of the Home. The anniversary exercises of the Washing- tonian Home wore celebratod last ovening, at tho institution on West Madison street. Tho exerciees were held in the Chapel, Which was tastofully trimmed with evergrecns and flowers. Tiuminated mottoes were hung over the walls, all of which were fringed with flowers. The mecting was opened with prayer by the Rev. E. J. Goodspeed, after which Mr. Falk played a besutiful piano solo. The Rev. T. W. Van Court then delivered an address upon the condition of the Home, and the object for which it was established. Ho said that theirs was a labor of much trial and difiiculty. hile they wero endeavoring to lift ‘men up, others were knocking them down, But they wero sure they wero effecting somo good, and would yet be rewarded. Ho said that the greatest zcal was manifested among tho pationts to sccond their efforts, and if liquor was not smuggled in to them - they would be easily cured. But he hoped that he had offectually stopped that. Of one thing he was at least surc: that was, that every man in the institution was ani- mated by & desire not to return to his former hebits, While wo are sccomplishing some re- sults the work is accumulating. Thero are 2,400 saloons in Chicago, and these are knocking over men much faster than wo can E‘::k them up. But we trust wo are doing something. There is nothing but woe from using drink, and many are 50 weak: they cannot resist its use. It was to relieve from these woes this Home was estab- lished. With us it is a labor of love, but our Tove will not—cannot always endure, if you elect Tulors who will permit saloons to present them- eelves atevery corner, end_thus undo the work we have accomplished. He concluded by an earnest appeal to ciose up the liquor traffic, as- serting that it was the devil in disguise. Dr. N. 8. Davis, President of the institution, was expected to deliver an address at the closo of Mr. VanCourt's remarks, but was too indis- posed to be present. An address of welcome was then delivered by Mr. Wm. McFarland, a graduste of tho institu- tion. It wasa most eloquent effort, abounding in graceful cxpressions. He concluded by eay- ing that he welcomed them in the name of the officers, the inmates, the graduates, and in tho names of some who were now resting in their eternal homes. ‘A piano golo followed, this given by Messrs. Falk and Schultz. Mr. A. C. Morey, the Becrotary, then read s statement of the condition of the Home. Ho eaid that nine years ago tho Washingtonion Home was established at No. 547 State street. Tt was sustained by donations from lodges, by church socials, and picnics. In September, 1563, it was incorporated, and was granted all the finea and dues of Cook County from licensed saloons to sustain it. For the last year these Lave been withheld, and the lack of them is much felt. On the 22 of March 185, the Home was removed to its pres- ent ‘quagters. The building wes purchased from &' “hew Laflin, who gave $1,000 townrds it purchase. In October, 1803, the final pay- ments woro made. By tho will of Jonathan Burr, a Director, the Home was bequeathed 218,000, the interest of which only it is allowed fo use. By another season, it is hoped, the Home will be removed into other quarters, away from the temptations offered by tho present lo- cality. The number of inmates admitted sinco Dec. 12, 1863, was 1,185; of those, 455 wero mar- Tied, and 59¢ single. They were divided into oc- cupations, as follows: Clerks, 166; bookkeep- ers, 101; 'printers, 46; merchants, 44; lawyers, 925; ‘painters, 14; actors, 8; insurance ngents, 9; clergymcnis; editors, 6; reporters, 3. ‘Miss Anna Lewis then sang & besutiful solo, entitled *“ Ripe Cherries.” Rov. Dr. W. IL. Ryder delivered a stirring ad- dress upon the various phasesof tho work of tho Home. Owing to the sbsence of Missdisle Lester, who was to huve read some_ selections from the pocte, {ho President called for voluntar &peaches oug tho speskers was “ Ne Buntline,” whoso remarks woro very interosting, &nd clicifed rather nproarious appreciation. Theso were followed by short addresses from the inmatcs of tho asylum, which abounded with interosting cxperiences and incidonts. The anniversary closed with & goneral social. — - PERSONAL. C. §.

'Mr. Craig mado his debut at the Arch Street Theatro, in Philadelphia. His ekill in imitation was most notablo among his talents. Mr. Craig handled, too, the pen with considerablo cleverness, and ho was much estccmed as o painter. e was about 30 years of age, a married man, and tho father of two chhildron, Dresident Walker, of tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway, and W.

The chasto and subdued organization known as thoBoard of Trado was visibly und deoply agitated yosterdsy forenoon by & rumor that Laura D, Fair, tho San_Francisco slayer of men Who would like to live with their wives, was not only in Chicago, but was actually present in the Dalcony of the Ball of the Chamber of Commerce during the forenoon.

Review of the Moncy, Stock, Kond, Gold, ana Produce Markets. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tridune, New Yong, Dec. 12.—Tho roduction to-day of tho Bank of England discount rate from 6 to § per cent had a favorablo effect here on foreign exchange and gold.

In ‘morcantilo paper lending names aro held at 10 to 12 per cent, with fow sales under the higherrate. Tho banks are still shipping to the South to the cotton people, and the demand from the pork packers is still urgent. On the other hand, considerable currency is returning, some from tho interior of this State, but the greater fim from the West and North- west. The city banks aro pressed for discounts on all sides, the demand exceeding the supply. STOCES. Thongh the stock market opened strong and advanced one or two per, cent,in the afternoon & ‘marked depression set in, resulting in a partial tumble. Pacific Mail fell off 6 per cent, and Panama 4 per cont. The serics of disasters to the Pacific Mail steamers has convinced many persons that the Company's standard of scaman- ship is altogether too low. Within the past four months, the Company has totally lost three steamers, the America, Bineville, and Guatemala. During tho same short period, the Arizona and Orizoba have becomo disabled, and the Sacramento has been®stranded on the coast of lower Californis. Thero is veri,; little short interest left in the market. Stocks are largely in possession of wealk holders, which fa- cilitated tho downward turn to-day. The re- ‘mainder of the market declined from ¥ to 2 per cent. ESCIANGE AND GOLD. Foreign Exchango was higher for 60 days and lower for sight.

Special Despatel to The Chicago Tribune. New Yonx, Dee. 12—The pending lswenit over the two wills left by Mr. Grecley is pretty well ascertained to boa contest to obtain control of the Tribune. The story is that s soon as Mr. Groeley died, Mr. Sinclair sct about bring- ing tho Tridune under his control, and wrote to Sehuyler Colfas, offering tho position of editor- in-chief to him a¢ $10,000 o yoar. Mr. Colfax declined, but seid that porhaps $20,000 would bo an inducement. It then becamo neccssary to buy up the ten ehares of stock controlled by the Miswes Greeley, in order to sccuro s proper majority. Scnators Chandler and Conkling agreed to put up the monoy, and with €100,000° in band, Mr. Sinclair called on the young lndies, but they refused; having promised allegianc to Whitelaw Reid, who £omo_time be- fore had detected the odor of . rodent in tho oftice. _Sinclair thought of tho former will of Mr. Grocley, and determined to outflank Reid by contesting tho othor document on the ground of tho insanity.of tho testator at the time it was drawn. This proceoding ties up ton shares, and gives tho Binclar party the control of the office Zat lenst, for tho prosent. Mr. Rei continues 'in tho editorial chair, s usual, waiting the turn of ovents. Mr. Sinclair's chief allyis H. Ayer, of Lowell, Who has - been a Grant man throughout. It i also said_that one of the conditions of Colfax and his Sonatorial friends, mede with Sinclair, is that o clean sweep of tho prosent cditoria] el shall bo mado, and also of tho Weslington urcau. - - Shocking Domestic Tragedy. Special Despateh to The Chicago Tribune, CorumIANa, O., Dec. 12.—This quiet commu- ity was thrown into tho most intense excite- ment, this morning, by the report that Erben Porter, living about two miles cast of this place, had murdered his two little girls, aged respect- fully ono and threo years. Some of Lis neigh- bors arrived soon aftor and confirmed the re- ort. Porter was living with his father-in-law, r. Henry llickinger, aud was intho room abové with the "children, cracking hicko;i nuts, the children playing about the room. His wifo was at the time up stairs doing chamborwork. Hoar- ing some unusuel noise, she came down and found the children dead and her husband going out with the bloody hatchetin his hand. Ho walked to Leetonin, a distance of fivo miles, where he was arrested and confessed the mur- der. Ho was taken to New Lisbon Jail to await his trial. Ho has long borno a bad reputation, Ho gives no roason, and none can bo assigned for the terriblo deed. e e Chincse Labor Troubles, Prrrsporan, Pa., Dec. 12.—The importation by the Beaver Falls Cutlery Company of & num- ber of Chinese, who have "been introduced into tho general workshops of tho company &t Beaver Falls, has caused considerablo dissatis- taction among the white workmen of the com- any. The coolies in the cmploy of the com- pany at present number nearly 160, the latest sddition having arrived only a fow days ago. It is alleged that on their arrival an attempt was mado to introduce & number of thoso who had first been employed into the more advanced branches of tho business. To_this the regu- lar workmen objected, and allogod that they wero requested to inmstruct tho coolies in tho fmer branches of tho business only to bo diecharged ns £oon as the Chineseconld do the work. As a result, many of the workmon of tho various dopart- monts gave up their situations and came to_this city yosterday in search of other omployment. It is stated that the Chinamen work in positions for 295 per month in_gold, which berstoforo paid whito workmen £80 per month.

Buck & Bayner draw true Goyser at the “ Spa, | on tho Baltimore & ‘““GRUMBLER & CO." Lecture by the Rev, T. DeWitt Talmage, of Brooklyn. A Humorous and Entertaining Satire on Some Human Weaknesses. The Rev. T. Do Witk Talmage, ono of the brightest stars in the religious firmsment of Brooldyn, lectured last evening, in the Michigan Avenue Baptist Churek, to an audience not at all commensurate with the ability or fame of the lecturer. His subject was ¢ Grumbler & Co.” The discourse was & good-natured eatire upon tho folly of looking upon the gloomy side of life, and, incidentally, allusions were made to other wealknesses and idiosyncrasies of human nature. Mr. Talmage is & pleasing-locking gentleman, plainly attired, a good speaker, with a knack of modulating his voice, and with dramatic gos- tures somewhat novel in s pulpit orator. The WessSidefolks will havean opportunity of hearing him this evening, in the Third Prosbyterian Church, when he will narrate his *‘Rough-and- Tumble Expertences m _California.” _Judging from last night's lecturo, it will be a rich treat. Ho remarked that this was a very pleasant world to dwell in. If people had the opportunity to choose which planet they would walk on, they would have been wise to select this. Itwas a splendid world, and a good time to live in it. They ehould thank God they lived now, when truth was advancing and error disappearing. Mo would rather Lve ton years now than fivo hundred in the age of Moethuselah. Still, there weroe persons who found fault with the world. here were amiable and sgreeable peoplo, but there were sleo o number of blers. Thero were many people who wero satisfied with overything, and enjoyed life comfortably. How the grumbler contrasted with thoso ! He was nover satisflied. He took his family to a placo of amuscment and was dis- sted with the music and the actors; he went o0 church, and, if the sermon was didactic and argumentative, he called it dull, and went to slecp; if it was humorous, he found fault be- cauge profane things were taken into the pulpit. Ho joined the church, and insisted that in tho mon}ini the edifico was as cold as Greenland, and intheeveningas warm as blazes. [Leughter.] Ho was like 2 hedgohog—rwith his q}\;ius always onend. If such persons got into Heaven tho would fall out with Saint Petor, find fault wit] the music, and get mad because tho wall wasn't lumb. [Laughter.] They should look on the right side of things. It depended very much on io\v things were looked at whether they were bright or black. ‘The man of bad manners was noxt in order. He had no affection for Lord Chesterfield's or clothes-made gentlemen. God only could mako tho large-hearted, generous being called o gon- tloman. A man revealed himself frequentiy in one flash of conduct. If clothes could not make a gentleman, neither could fine dresses and deli- cate perfumery make a lady. ; Thoro was no moro pleasant thirig than ssying winsome things in o pleasant way, and no moro dotestable persons than those who weore going saround meddling with everybody and whfiepcrinng about their neighbors. If aman's father hi the misfortune to be hanged, these persons in- sisted upon discussing capital punishment, and if 5 financial embarrassment oppressed ono, they wero prepared to expatiate upon tho | besuty _and _convonienco of _ bankrupt laws. Eccentricities, when harmless, wero bearable, provided they did not hurt any one but the owners. The philosopher who put the con- dlo to bed and blew himself out of the window, ‘hurt nobody but himself. [Laughter.] Lot two young men go out into tho world, one with £20,000 and bad manners, and the other withont sy monoy but with good manners, and in the end good mannors would win. Politoness and cuzlrtesy were no indication of weaknese of char- acter, The lounger wes ono who came at the wrong timo, and stayed too long. Some persons b nothing to_do and supposed nobody else had. They remained around, sitting all over theroom. They expected to be entertained. They rose to go, and, being requested not to be in & burry, returned for another two hours’ stretch. Com- pered with such an oatrago, blessed was sea- sickness, blessod was gout, blessed waa the horse distempér [laughtor], blessed wero all the shams and inconveniences in life. Tho greatest bore was the man who felt he should speak at mcafinfi. He should speak or burst. [Laughter.] Ho had s _precedent in Balaam's travelling compenion. [Loughter.] "The man perpetually lachrymose, who always had the blucs, was another nuisance. There wore men who were eternally full of ovil prog- nostications, although in the lottery of life thero were thousands of prizes to every blank. There was but one pair of Siamese twins to mill- fons of human beings. Bometimes their lachry- ‘mose brethren were fathers of unhappy familics, and intruded into cheerful Sunday Schools to make everybody despondent like themselves. Good hearty laughter was better than spleen, and good humor more efficacious than growling. Unlimited indulgence in oating was oue csuse of the blues, becouse & civil war raged between tho stomach and | the brain. Gymnasiums were excellent institutions. In them doctors of divinities punched stuffed boya ; millionaires swung dumb-bells ; lawyers hung from bars by the heels, and &1l managed to get rid of rheumatism and the thousand ills that tlesh is heir to. The asium was better than an ocean of stomach bitters. The pure air of the country, inhaled on horseback, for those who could afford it was better. There must be something wrong with o man who did not love a horse. The man who misused a horso deserved to bo kicked by & mule. [Laughtar.] Sknfins waa anothor excellent exercise. Ladies shoul skato. Base-ball was a healthy tonic. Those emusements wero supposed to be un- dignifiod and jmproper. To the man who nover kissed his wife without asking . blessing, thoy seomed so [laughter], but to nobody else. For mental depression he recommended exer- cise indoors, if not outdoors. Exercise was somothing they would have to teach in the churches, and instend of telling congrogations what they should not do they would have to tell them what they shonld do. Republican and Democratic hypochondriacs ‘were always blue about the state of the country, and saying it was going to ruin, To his cortain Imowledgo, the country was going to ruin sinco ho was five Emra of age, but it had not gone yet. He was not afraid of tho country until free specch ended, and then ho wantedto emigrato to Kamtschatka. Ho belioved mon'of every party could work for the good of their country, whother Republican or Democratic, Tory or Whig, native American, Fenian, or & Brooklyn lecturer. [Laughtor.] The country was not in the hends of any party, but degondcd on the strong arm of God, Mr. Talmage told some excellent stories to il- lustrate his discourse. Asan instance of bad manners, ho related how General Scott was yis- iting o gentleman in Philadelphis, end the gen- tleman being anvions thst his son and heir should know the warrior, called the youngster in and introduced him, when the following dialogue occurred; Youngster—¢ Are you Gen- eral Scott?” The General—‘ Yes; I'm General Seott,” Youngster—‘‘ Are youthe General Scott that was at Lundy's Lano?” The General— “Yes, I was ot Lundy's Lano.” Youngster— ‘¢ Are you tho General Scott that was in Mex- 1c0?” " The Goneral—*‘ Yes, I was in Mexico.” Youngster—** Are you tho General Scott who ran for President and got licked ?" Tho General— “Yes, I ran for the Presidency, and, and, ok, didn’t got in.” Youngster—‘‘ Are_you the Gen- oral Scott they cell ‘old fuss and feathers '™ Father—* Bimon, go to_bed, you rascal, I won't havo Goneral Scott insulted in myown house, b my own son.” Tho want of politeness was 11{ lustrated in tho person of the lecturer. .He went {rom Philadelphia to attend a meeting of minis: ters at the Cooper Institute, New York, The train Deing late, ho was late, and arrived-at the Insti- tute after the exercises hod commenced. He nsked a man at tho door what he should do with Lhis carpet-bag. Themanreplied that “he didn't care what ho did withit.” Ho asked tho man if ho could leave it in an ante-room. The man an- swered that o could if ho liked, “if ho didn’t think the ministers would steal it,” His brother was perambulating oo of the back streets of ‘.Eroo klyn when a man accosted him i ‘Are © yon _tho that's dying of “consumption? I'm looking for & men in this street whats dyiug = with consumption, and you look like o man what's dying; ain't you ho7" His brother repliod he bad been minister for fifteen_ years, and much x‘ex:‘\‘imgt mi‘x(ii !cdenl lor to his complexion ; but he hoped to b :":’ny euch looking follows ag Lis questionos, There was a meen fellow who never drank, wha, when invited to imbibe, e2id ho conld not; under any cironmstances, violata Lis temperanco prin- cipleg, but e would take a cigar and throe conts.
