Everybody who culls and is in any way deserving will be given the meat for a Christmas dinner, und if the sup- ply Is exbausted it will be replenished. He has not yet perfected bis arrangements for opening his lodging-bouse, for the reason that since he bad to abandon the La Sule street house he bas not n able to secure a desirable location. It will bo opewed, however, at an early day, and due notice willbe given: ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS. Tho art school of the Academy of Fine Arts will take but one week of recess for tho holi- days, and the winter term will begin the Mon- day after the New Year. The term about to close has been one of unecxampled prosperity, the number of students a little over Su, and the prevailing eurnestaess greater than ever. Some of the lesser features of the school prove very valuabic, For example, the Saturday sketch- ing class, which is free to any body who is inter- ested in sketching enough to pay the $2 udmis- sion fee to the school. This is the cluss in which ufteen-minute or half-hour sketches are made from life; and a new feature js svon to be intru- duced of memory sketching, the studeut being allowed threc or four minutes of observation and then required to draw from memory. Mem- bers of this class, as well as the rest of the school, have acer“ to the library of books upon tine art, which is another recent and good feature. A year ago a regulation was adopted by which every new pupil is required to pay an entrance fee of $3, to be devoted to the urchase of buoks for the use of the school. P ‘fbis fund already amounts to more than $400, most of which has been expended for books, and the school has ndw a very gooa little working | library of about 150 volumes, including works upon ° the practice, theory, and history of art by Reynolds, Ruskin, Lubke, Winckelmano, Rim- mer, Haydon, and such standard authorities. By the liberality of Prang & Co., of Bostqn, the school has just received the gift of a set of val- uable colored plates of historical ornament. A class in pen and ink sketchtag, working forward to etching on copper, will be started with the next term. his 9th t A’ GENEROUS DONATION. Among the early and stanch friends of the lilinois Humane Society there was n0 one who took a deeper interest ‘n its work than the late Manucel Talcott. giving freely in counsel and money for its guidauce and support. Since his deatu his widow, Mrs. Mary tinued to the Society the same support, and bas jately added to the permanent fund of the So- ciety the generous sum of $5,000. This sum hag | een paid into the hands of the President, Mr. Jobn G. Shortall, and others as trustees, and Will be by them invested in good interest-pay- ing securities, and the income from the same used in helping to defray the current expenses of the Society. _It is a pleasure to the manage- ment to make this announcement as a proof that, while Chicago is not neglecting her busi- negs interests, she finds time also to encourage her worthy charities. ‘> THE CHICAGO ACADEMY OF DESIGN has issucd a prospectus in which it calls the at- tention of the public to its scheme for the erec- ton of a new opera-house and art gullery, for which a corporauon, to be known. as the Acad- emy of Design Associanon, bus beon formed by Messrs. Daniel A. Kimbark, Samuel P. Farring- ton, John V. Le Moyne, Frank Gould, George _ Schneider, George 8. Carpenter, and Carter H. Harrison, The capital stock of the Association is tixed at $500,00, and Jus soon as a sullicient amount of it bas been subscribed it is proposed to erect a grand building in a central loculity containing opera-bouse, art gallery, music rooms, etc. ie bonks are now ready for sub- script.on to the stock. and to-morrow solicitors wiil be sent forth by the projectors of the enter- prise to secure subscribers, JOEL HENRY WELLS. ‘The writ of habeas curpus directed to Dr. Kil- bourne, of the Elgiu Insane Asylum, to produce Joel Henry Wells, an old and well-known Chi- cagoan, was returnable betore Judge Morin yesterday morning, when the lawyers on both Sides appeared in court, but Mr. Wells was not present. The bearing occupied about an hour in the morning and weut over to the .affer- noon, when Mr. Wells was present in court. Upon representation made by Mr. George Gibbs, then to attend to the cuse, a continuance was granted until Thursday morning, and Mr. Wells was released on a bond of $1,000 turnished by his counsel, Mr. H.S. Osborne. It was agreed be- tween counsel that the question at issue was one of fact. and, thouga the polnt was not settled, it seemed probuble that the matter will be tried before the Judge. To the casual observer Mr. Wells shows no traces of insanity. It is his intention, if declared sane, to ker selling subscripuon books. He returned to Michigan City 1ast evening. THE FIRST-REGIMENT FAIR. The popular interest in tho First Regiment Fair and Bazaar is on the increase. Both the { matinée and evening attendance yesterday : was larger thun on the two eB ‘ious even- ! ings. The addition of new features in the sbape of tho art gallery and the museum, i together — with the “pleasant rivalries eugendered both in the struggles for prizes and the balloting for ‘the most Pee ular,” bas hid much to do with calling out this reserve force of Intent enthusiasin, and bas offered renewed assurances that the en- terprise is to be a grew: sociul and financial suc- cess. Tho art gullery was thrown open last evening for the first time, and its attractiveness abundantly confirmed the expectations which were eurly formed of it, The fair dispensers of articles of beauty and utility in the poresous booths continued to smile upon intending pur- ebnsers in all their loveliness, and as for those who d.da’t intend to purchase anything, the harmony of the fair sellers’ tongues generally succeeded in bringing into bondage their too willing ears and into the treasurer's strong-box the material wherewith their pucketbooks were comfortably lined. ‘The voting for “the most popular” is becom- ing the proper tbiug at the bazaar. and the amount of repeatug which nightly takes place would draw tears from a veteran “rounder.” The “most popular clergymen” race at present lies between the Rev. Charics Irvin and the Rev. Dr. Thomas, with the former leading. A. T. Stewart & Co. lead the arg Fuode houses for one of the harness sets, and W. K. Linn fs ahead of his Board ot Trade rivals for the other. Jonab in the Whale’s Belly. ‘Two hundred years ago Dr. Zachary Boyd wrote the following quaint description of Jonah in the whale’s belly. He was a minister of the barony parish of Glasgow, and Kector of its university: “What house is this, where’s neither coal nor candle. Where nothing but guts of fishes handle? Land my table are both within, Where day ne'er dawned, where sun did never shine. ‘The like of this on earth man never saw, A ving man within a monster's maw, Buried under mountains which are bigh and steep, : Plunged ‘under waters hundreds fathoms deep. Not so with Noah, trom his house of tree, For through u window be u light did sce; He sailed above the highest waves—a wonder; Land my boat are ull the waters under; He in his arke might soe, and also come, But I sit still in such u straightened roome As 18 most uncouthe, head and feet together, ‘Among such grease as a thousand smother. 1 tind no way pow for my sbrinking hence, But herd I lye, and die for mine offence.

Some women are like shotguns, They would attract no attention if it wasn’t for their bangs. = A gentleman who has been canvassing among the leading musical people of Chicago lately states that on calling at their resi- dences he was almost invariably informed that the persons he wisned to see were not at home, but that he could easily find them at the music-rooms of Messrs. Pelton, Pomeroy & Cross, 150 and 153 State street, that place being the recognized musical headquarters of Chicago. <A visit tu the place mentioned yesterday found no less than thirty promi- nent musicians, who were scattered through the convenient and cozy mugic-rooms, the at- traction being the magnificent new Chicker- ing pianos and the other first-class instru- inputs handled by this firm.

The veteran caterer John Wright, with his able corps of assistants, can be found at his old place, 38 Blonroe street, prepared to serve his numerous customers with holiday delicacies in his usual fauitless style. “ Where are you going so fast, Mr. John- -gon?? “Home, sir, home; don’t detain me; Lhave just got a new bonnet for my wife, and must deliver it before the fashion changes ?” A beautiful Christmas present for a lady is a natural, curly wavelet from Thome’s Hair-Bazaar, 157 State street.

The success of the sprightly little paperen- titled the Bazaar Bulletin has exceeded all expectations. Mark Twain's promised story was published in yesterday’s issue, and it caused a brisk demand for the paper. Here- with we print the sketch, which willbe found enurely characteristic of its author: A TAIL For Struggling Young Poets. , Well, sir, onoe there was a young fellow who believed ho was a poct; but the main ditticulty with him was to get anybody else to believe it. Many and many 4 pvt bas spliton that rock,— ifitiaa rock. “Many and many a poet will split on It yet, thank God. The young fellow I speak of used all the customary devices,—and with the customary results—to-wit: he competed for prizes and didn't take any; he sent specimens of his poetry to famous people and asked for 2 “candid opinion,” meaning 1 putf, and didn't get it; he took advantage of dead persons and obituaried them in ostensible poctry, but it made him no frieuds—certainly none’ among the dead. But at lust he heurd of another chance; there was going to bea homeopathic fair in Buffalo, accompanied by the usual inof- tensive paper, and the editor of that paper of- fered a prize of $2 for the best original poem on the usual topic of “Spring ”—no poem cv be con- sidered unless it should possess positive value.

The Hon. Demshame Hornet had avery unpleasant experience lately. Mark Twain Was advertised to lecture in the Town of Col- chester, but for some reason failed to get aroynd. In the emergency the Lecture Com- mittee decided to employ Mr. Hornet to de- liver his celebrated lecture on temperance, but so late in the day was this arrangement made that no bill announcing it could be cir- culated, and the audience assembled expect- ing the celebrated innocent. Nobody in the town knew Mark, or had ever heard him lecture, and they had got the notian that he was funny and went to the lecture prepared to laugh. Even those onthe platform, ex- cept the Chairman, did not know Afr. Hornet from Mark Twain, and so, when he was in- troduced, thought nothing of the name, as they knew Mark Twain was a nom de plume and supposed his real name was Hornet. The dénouement is thus told: Br. Hornet first remarked, * Intemperance is the curse of the country.” The audience burst inte 8 merr laugh. He knew it could not be his remark and thought his clothes must be awry, and he asked the Chairman in a whisper if he was all right and got “ yes” for an answer. Then he said, ‘‘Rum slays more than disease!” A louder laugh. He couldn’t understand it, but he went on; “ Mgr. . breaks up. happy j bim of homes!”—still louder mirth. “It is carry- young men down to death and Hell!”—a perfect roar and ppplense. Mr, Hornet began to getexcited. He thought they were guy- ing him, but he proceeded. “ We must crush the serpent!”—a tremendous howl of laughter. The men on the platform, except the Chairman, squirmed ag they laughed. Hornet couldn’t stand it “What Pu say- ing is Gospel truth!” he erled. ‘The audience fairly bellowed with mirth. Hornet turned toa inan on the stage and sald, “ Do you see anything very ridiculous In my remarks or beiavior 2” " “ Yes, hal ha!—it’s Intensely funny—ha! ha! hal| Go on!” replied the roaring man, “This is an insult!” cried Hornet, wildty dancing about, More laughter and cries of Go on, Twain!” And then the Chairman got the idea of the thing, and rose up and explained the situation, an the men on the stage suddenly quit laughing and blushed very red, and the folks in the audience looked at each other in a mighty sheepish way, and they quit laughing too. And then Mr. Hornet, being thoroughly mad, told them that he had never before got into a town so entirely populated by asses and idiots, and, having said that, he left the hall. And the assemblage then voted to censure Twain and the Chairman, and dis- persed amidst deep gloom. THE WILLIAMS HOMICIDE. Lizzie Stackloy Under Arrest—She Tells Her Story to the Reporter. Coroner Matson yesterday held an inquest atthe Armory upon Isham Williams, a col- ored man who died in 8 hovel at No. 394 Clark street, in consequence of injuries about the head received in a quarrel about a month ago. The evidence given by several witnesses was to the effect that a notorious woman of.the neighborhood, named Lizzie Stackley, but better known under the alias of “Bohemian Liz,” had entered the place in company with a white man, and that they had quarreled with Williams about the pay- ment for the use of the room. The County Physician testified that in his post- mortem examination he found that death was caused by an abscess in the an- tegior lobe of the brain, the result of a blow on the head, which had fraetured the inner plate of the skull. The police said they had done all in thelr power to capture Lizzie Stackley, who was supposed to have struck the fatal blow with a small lathing hatchet. The jury returaed a verdict in ac- cordance with the facts. The woman Stack- ley was arrested shortly before 5 o’clock last evening at the home of her sister, No. 113 Fourteenth street, by Detective McDonald and Sergt. Duffy. Lizzie _isa stoutly-built and fairly good-looking Bohemian woman, 38 sears of AEE. She asserts that she saw Williams the day before his death, and real- ized that he was gving to die, and that subsequently, when her friends pointed out to her in the newspapers the fact of the death and her supposed connection with the affair, they advised her to run away and thus escape arrest, She steadfastly refused, but remained at home and attended her infant until its death, a few days ago. Yesterday the police called at the house during her ab- sence, and upon her return, instead of trying to avoid thein, she sat down and waited fora second call. Regarding the fight, she_ac- knowledges that she had trouble with Will- iains, but denies that she struck tim with the hatchet. Having met a male friend, whose na we her brother knows, she thinks, she ac- companied him into Williains’ basement, and engaged a room. She was under the in- fluence of liquor herself, but was not drunk. Her friend paid 50 cents for a room, but subsequently Williams denied having re- ceived payment, and demanded his money, Lizzie maintained that her friend had paid him, whereupon Willams assaulted them both. He was the first to seize the hatchet, and how he came to be hit with it himself is more than she knows. At all events, he was the aggressor in the fight, and it was no more than right that he should get the worst ofit. All that she did was in self-defense. Her story does not tally with the evidence given by several witnesses who saw Lizzie’s companion have Williams’ head “in chan- cery,” and saw Lizzie “ peckin’ him onde head wid de hatchet.” The Coroner having passed upon the case, it is likely thai the preliminary examination of the accused will take place before Justice Wallace. SEVENTEEN YEARS. Murphy’s Sentence for the Murder of Young Warniimont. Judge Gary was engaged yesterday In hear- ing the arguments in the Murphy murder case. Col. J. B. Jones, counsel for the prisoner, in closing the case on behalf of his client, made a very able argument, and was followed by State’s-Attorney Mills, who spoke for about two hours, and the case went to the jury about 4 o’clock. At? o’clock the jury notfied the Bailiff in charge that an azreement had been reached, and Judge Gary was_inygpediat@ly sent for. State’s-Attorney Mi had re- inained in the vicinity, expectu an early agreement, and when the prisoner was brought in there were present the Court officers and counsel on both sides and a.very few spectators. The verdict was that Mur- phy was guilty of manslaughter, and the @y, fixed his punishment at seventeen years in State’s Prison. Murphy received the verdict with an ap- parent etfort to control his feelings, but was utterly overcome. He turned very pale, shook like a leaf, and would have fallen from lis chair but for the assistance of his attorney, Col. Jones, who caught his arm and held him up. It is said that upon retiring the first vote taken resulted in showing that eight of the jury were in favor of a verdict of gtilty of murder in the first degree and the death sentence, The other four fayored averdict as returned. An agreement was reached only upon the condition that the term should be to the full extent of the law. Murphy was taken back to his cell, and his counsel willat once make @ motion for a new oy a THE WEATHER. OrrFice oF THE CHIEF SigNaL OFFICER, Wasnincton, D.

BERBERS: EMBNRRANGREHEN +4 IS BNSSENERSERNE: REBAR: BRBNHLELNKTEUTNELE SHALL SSTHREARALELEARELRANBRRARSES a _— Monseigneur Hassan. Hassan has received his letter notifying bis creation as Cardinal. The obligatiun of secrecy which prevents a Cardinal-uominate from discussing business affairs between the time of receiving bis bigiietto until bis creation in Consistory was relaxed in the caso of Mer. Hassun, as bis opinion on Oriental atfairs was urgently required. Mgr. Hussup was horn in Constantinople in July, 1800, and is consequent- ty 80 years old. He was educated at the Propa- ganda College in Rome. According to the eti- quet of the Roman Curia, whenever a Patriarch or member of a Royal family is created a Car- dinal no other Cardinals are created contempo- raneously. Consequently no other Cardinal was declared in the present Consistory. The Pope, bowever, may create (if he wishes) at the same time other Cardinals in petto, and may declare or poblieh them in a succeeding Consistory. Cardinal Hassun will be distinguished amon} the members of the Sacred College by his beard. Since the death of Cardinal Recanati, a Capu- chin, tn 1861, no begrded Cardinal bas graced the College. Hels the first Armenian who bag ever urrived at the dignity of a Prince of the Holy Roman Church. Cardinal Hassun is to reside in state at Constantinople, and bis pres- ence there will be a curious and picturesque contrast with the olden hatred of the Islams for the Infidel. THE CRIMINAL RECORD. Interesting Items from the Police Courts, Isaac Aumay is a prisoner at the West Twelfth Street Station, charged with the lar- ceny of $17 cash from Charles Phillips, while he was intoxicated in the saloon of Eusebe L'Heureux, No. 177 Blue Island avenue. Olaf Walbi, the young burglar who forced | entrance tothe Farragut Buat Club house, at the foot of Twelfth street, was yesterday held by Justice Walsh in $1,500 to the Crim- inal Court. Nearly all the property stolen has been recovered by the police. W. H. McHugh, charged with obtaining money by false pretences from Eugene Lock- wood, of No. 85 Kinzie street,* and Henry Burk, charged with attempting to steal money and jewelry from Emma Hanson, and also with making threats to kill her, are prsoners at the West Madison Street Sta- ion. Newel J. Ford, engineer of the locomo- tive on the Lake Shore Railroad which re- cently ran into and demolished an Archer avenue street-car, was yesterday dischareed for lack of prosecution before Justice Wal- lace. All of the gover injured in the collision have recovered, with’ the exception of Cornelius Halloran, the driver of the car. John Rossman, a young man who has hitherto borne an unblemished reputation, employed as aclerk in Mabley’s clothing- store, No. 154 Clark street, was arrested Jastevering by Detective Thorpe upon sus- picion ot having robbed his employer. The place was recently Dureiarized: of a consid: erable amo: and articles of jue have been ‘missed from time to time. An afternoon paper says that seventeen street-walkers yesterday took changes of venue from Justice Wallace to Justice Sum- mertield, and comments as follows: “They have evidently learned that the fines at the latter place are smaller than at Harrison street.” It might have added that they have evidently found that by taking a change of venue they readily escape the sharks who have monovolized the professional bail busi- ness at the Armory Court for nearly two years. Since the new Superintendent of olice came in the price for street-walking, that is, the fines assessed every time a street- walker is arrested, has been raised from $3 to $10 by the Police Justices, and this price-list is rigidly adhere to by them, fine of $100 for an old offender, or a lizht fine for a “‘first- timer” is ranked among the impossibilities. The question ts, do these unfortunate women. perjure themselves when they, in swearing out a change of venue, take oath that they cannot have a fair and impartial trial before the Police Justices. And another question is, Who makes uniform rules for the Police Justices ? ———— A BUSTED” CONCERT TROUPE. ‘Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, TOLEDO, O., Dec. 18.—The Rionda concert troupe has come to an untimely end, it hav- ing transpired to-day that the effect of the prima donna’s cool reception here and else- where, and her unpromising artistic career, was that her father, who is a wealthy physi- cian of this city, got tired of paying bills and ‘summarily closed the contract with a number of the company. Among the latter were some artists from Paris, who will at- tach the money deposited in New York as security for salaries for five months ahead, not being satis- fied with the compromise offered them. The troupe had been on the road about a month. ‘The prima dorna received her musical edu- cation in Europe regardless of: expense, and was brought out in New York, but her friends had to acknowledge that she was not an artistic success. The matter has created considerable of a sensation in local musical circles, there being charges of incompetency and ungentlemanly conduct made by the management against the French artists.
