HE WILL NOT “ABANDON POLITICS FOR BREW- D ee An apparently sober matter-of-fact state- tment appeared in a not notoriously sensational German paper yesterday to the effect that Car- ter H. Harrison kad cast in his lot with the brewers—that is to say, that be had purchased the Keeley brewary. But for the fact that the gentleman in question is just at presentthe Mayor of Chicago—some say “the best,” etc.— there would have been nothing to throw any special doubt on the statement. As it was,how- ever, with enough to keep most men prettyfairly busy in guarding the destinies of so big a place as Chicago, there was an afrof improbability about the statement that the Mayor, like another great pergon fn history, was afflicted with ennui, and sighed for further worlds to conquer. So, while a reporter was making the rounds of the various West Side eleemosynary institutions yesterday, he dropped inon the Mayor at his residence on Asbland avenue, and, after wish- ing him “the same,” read for bis instruction the English of the statement referred to, The re- sponse was in the nature of a good-bumored iaugh, which was prefatory to the following lit- te story: “Sometwo or three months ago, { guess it was,” sald the Mayor, “Iwas sitting in my oflice chatting -with Michucl Keeley, the brewer. We were talking, in a pleasant, joking way, about whut Iwas todo when I got outof the Mayor's oftice. [remarked thatI had two grand opportunities before me. One lay in the direction of a peanut-stand, and the other was promise from J, Russell Jones to let me drive one of his five-cent carriages when | got out of a job. I may sav here that 1 expressed a preference for tbe latter, because, with the chances of promotion in view, I might, in the course of time, rise to the position of con- ductor, and wear blue clothes, and brass buttons, and curry a bell-punch swung over one shoulder. Sull, promotion would be slow.’ Suddenly a bavpy thought occurred to me, and I gave Mr. Keeley the benefit of tt. I remarked tobim that it would bea very fine thing—for me at least— to give me a half interest in his business,—make me the ornamental partner, so to speak,— out without disturbing in the least his own urrange- ments and his own relation to the business. In other words, I was todo nothing and draw half the proceeds, and he was to do everything, and rough been already ruised of the amount necessary,— $5,00),—leaving but #400 to be contribuled. Many of the donations bave been the mites of the children of the poor, or the scanty pittances of laborers who have been cared for in thp hos- pital, What better almoner for the charity of the rich, in these their happy Christmas boli- Gays? to what more worthy object can the poor contribute? Any sum will be acceptable, and acknowledgment made, us heretofore, in the Evening Journal (daily) and Living Church make a division of possible proceeds. I thought I could afford to be generous about it, and so I was, and he apparently thought so too, though it ig probably unnccessary to ada that be mani- fested no anxiety to draw up the papers, and hasn't from that day to this.

They are figure pictures by Agrassot, Guardabassi, Maccari, and Cebrian, aud constitute au invaluable addition to the working material of the water-color class. The school term closed Friday, and the winter term will open a weck from to-morrow, Monday. Jan. 3, The school fs tilling up so fast that it is nec- casary to provide additional room, and it {s prab- able that the academy will avail itself of the Hib- erality of the Exposition, and move the advanced antique class to the art hall, where the sculpt- ure is deposited.

FIRST REGIMENT. THE BAZAAR TO BE CONTINUYD. The managers of the First Regiment bazaar have decined to continue the sale of the articles in-the several booths up to and including next Saturday night. The attendance last evening was very light, owmg largely to the tact that everybody was celebrating Christmas, ‘The ag- sgregate sales thus far, while not as large as was anticipated, have been quite satisfactory, and, in view of the fact that the holiday week is about tu commence, the officers of the Tegi- ment and the ladies who have thus far kindly assisted are enxious that all who contemplate purchasing or any character give them a call, The vate on the Bible to be given to the most popular clergyman now stands: Dr. Thomas. 235; Prof. Swing, 216.

From Trevelyan's History of Fox. There exists at Brooks’ CInb a curious me- mortal of the society in which Fox fived and of the constant and minute attention which that society bestowed upon all his proceed- ings. Asfarback as the reign of William the Third, foreigners had observed that on matters great and small the only sure test of English opinions was the state of the odds, Our ancestors were men of their hands,— more ready with sword and purse than with word and pen,—who regarded a duel as the natural issue of a quarrel and a bet as the most autheritative solution of an argument. ‘To drag through newspapers and law courts the lengthening scandai of a dispute which a single interview in one of the parks would settle with credit, if not with satisfaction, to both parties was not more repugnant to their idea of what was becoming and convenient than to spend twenty minutes in confating a man who had so little faith in his own view that he would not back it with twenty guineas, But by the time George the Third wason the throne persons of rank and position were tired of being chullenged tostake theirmoney by frequenters of public coffee-houses whose capacity to pay was doubtful, and about whose anticipations as to the date of the com- ing dissolution and the destination of the next blue ribbon they did not care a farthing. ‘The first London clubs of the model to whic! that name is now exclusively appt, were instituted, among other kindred purposes, with the object of providing the world of fashion with. a centrat oflice for making wagers, and a registry for recording them. And so it comes about that the betting-books at Brooks’ has an interest of its own which resembles nothing in any library or museum inthe country. ‘The entries in its pages, most characteristic of the time and the men, standing, each in their prgper order, between the covers within which they were originally written,—uniform in their general charac- ter, but with variety of detail as inexhausti- bie as the circumstances of our national history and the changes in our national manners,—form a volume which is toan ordi- nary collection of autographs what the “ Liber Veritatis” of Claude is to a portfolio of de- tached sketches by the great masters. Fifty guineas that Thurlow gets a tellership of the Exchequer for his son; fifty guineas that Mile. Heinel does not dance at the Opera- House next winter; fifty guineas that 2, people were at the Pantheon last evening; fifty guineas that Lord Ilchester gives his first vote in opposition and hits eight out of his first ten pheasants; three hundred to fifty from a nobleman who appreciated the_privi- leges of abachelor that the Duke of Devon- shire, Lord Cholmondeley, and two given commoners are married before him; five guineas down, to receive a hundred if the uke ot Queensbury dies before half an hour after 5 in the afternoon of the 27th of June, 1773; a hundred guineas on the Duke of Queensbury’s life against Lord Palmerston’s; a hundred guineas that Lord Derby does not see the next general election, and a hundred guineas, between two unusually discreet members of the Club, that some one in their eye does not live ten years from the present date. The betting was hottest in war time, and during the period while a notori- ous criminal remained untried or. un- hanged; for the disciples of George Selwyn were never tired of calculating the chances of people dying elsewhere than in their beds, The old yellow leaves are scored thick with bets that one of the Perreaus would be hanged; that neither of them would be hanged, and that Mrs. Rudd would be ad- mitted to bail; that Dr. Dodd would be ex- ecuted within two months; that he would anticlpate the gallows by suicide, and that if ho killed himself it would be by pistol and notby poison, Fitzpatrick, flying at higher game, laid five hundred guineas to ten that none of the Cabinet were beheaded by that fay three years; and another gentleman who believed the melancholy contingency to be not oniy possible but probable, was frée- spoken enough to name the Minister. Still bolder spirits did not shrink from placing their money upon prophecies which the del- icacy of a later age has taken effectual care to render ineligible, for, indeed, there was no event or experience in the whole compass of human existence which March and his friends thought it necessary to exclude from the field of legitimate speculation. It was in allusion to quite the most innocent class of these personal and domestic wagers that grandchild, replied: “Upon my word, I do notknow. I have not bet upon it.” For ten years, from 1771 onward, Charles ¥ox betted frequently, largely, and jndi- ciously on the secial and political occurrences of the time. He laid 200 guineas ‘Lord North would be First Lord of the Treasury in Mareh, 1773, and 20 guineas that he would stillbe First Lord in March, 1776, “bar death ”; 150 to 50 that the ‘Tea act was not re- peated in the winter session of 1774; 20 guineas that Lord Nottingham, who took more kindly to water than his-father, didnot swiw one mile the next time -he went into the Thames or any other river; 10 guineas down, to receive 500 whenever’ Turkey in Europe belonged to a European Power or Powers;.anda guinea down, to receive 50 “whenever Mr. Croft forgets two by honors in -afr. Fox’s presence.” He was fond of Wagers the settlement of which was depend. ent upon an antecedent dondition. Lord Ossory bets Mr. Chartes Fox 100 guineas to 10 rr. North is not hop of Durham this day two monthi ovided the present Bishop dies within” dist time,” «Mir. & a Lord Mountford, when asked whether his | daughter was going to present him with a: 7s Foley bets Mr. Charles Fox 30 guineas En- gland is at war with Frauve. this day two ears. supposing Louis XV. ‘dead.” And har. Charles Fox himself bets, 100 guineas against the Duke of Devomélilre having the Garter within seven years, "the Duke to live or no bet.” When the Perréaus were on their trial for forgery Fox was concerned in five bets out of a consecutive group of six, and it is pleasant to remark that even. in his hours of sport the young reformer of the penal code was on the side of mercy. Many pages together during 1774 and 1775 are taif covered by his unformed but frank, resolute, and most readable handwriting, and no single name appenrs anything like so often as his, until, at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, under the excitement of the down- ward and upward rush of consols, and of de- feats on land alternating with victories at sea, Sheridan brought forth from its retlrement the almost neglected vol- ume and turned it into something worry like a private betting book ot his own, But-the wagers made by Fox are not so suggestive as the wagers made about him. The Club, which was so helpful to him in Jater life an which is still so faithful to his menjory, seems to have watched him from the very first with a sort of paternal intentness. “Lord Bolingbroke gives a guinea to:Mr. Charles Sox, and is to receive a thousand from him when the debt of this’ country amounts to 171 millions. Mr. Fox is not to pay the 1,000 till: he is a member of his'Ma- jesty’s Cabinet.” “Lord Clermont “has given Mr. Crawford 10 guineas upon cofdi- tion of receiv! £500 from him whenéver Mr. Fox shall worth £100,000, «clear of debts.” Such are two among thése allu- sions to the opening of his political prospects and the waning of his pecuniary fortunes, which fila larger space in the records of Brooks’ even than prognostications about the length of Lord North’s first Parliament, and the health and life of a certain great person. Mr. Crawford must have spent his ten guineas with a safe conscience. There was quite as much likelihood that Great Britain would grow golvent under Lord North and Sandwich as that Charles: Fox would ever be worth his plum, Brilliant at whist, quinze, and piquet, and almost invariably successful! in wagers where he backed his knowledge of the world or his insight into politics, he never could resist the attractions of that table where skill could not protect him from the intluence of his terrible ill-luck; and he too often matched himself against antagonists who made hazard a game of chance only in name. A halfcentury afterward Lord Exre- mont told Lord Holland that mature reflection, aided by enlarged experience, had convinced him that the constant and immoderate supe- riority which certain players maintained over Charles Fox and other young men was not to be explained by the “fortune of thedice; butif anyone. be added, had dared to hint such a suspician at the thine, the losers themselves would have torn him in piecesa The highest play ever known in London took Place during the three years that preceded the atmerican war. Five thousand pounds were staked on one card at faro, and £75,000 changed hands in a single evening. Stephen Cox once sat down with £13,000, and rose without 4 farthing, and his brother was quoted daily, in prose and verse, as the type of the unlucky gamester. Wal- pole, enumerating the things in the world that were best worth finding, bracketed to- Rether the longitude, the philosopher's stone, the certificate of the Duchess of Kingston's first marriage, the missing books of Livy, “and all that Charles Fox had lost.” And from among the countless allusions to the prodigal that occur in the satires of the day, tmay be permitted to cull a few rhymes the jovial ring of which makes amends for their lack of point and elegance: at aieee of pigeons I am told there are locks, But it’s thought the completest is one Mr. Fox; If he touches u card, if he rattles the box, Away tly the guincas of this Mr. Fox. kpocks ‘That cash is not plenty with this Mc. Fox; Jn guming, 'tis sind, he’s the stoutegt of cocks— No man can play deeper than this Mr. Fox; And Be always must lose, for the strongest of locks < Cannot keep any money for this Mr. For. No doubt such behavior exceedingly shocks ‘The friends and acquyintances.of this Mr. Fox; And they wish from thelr souls they could put in the stocks * and muke an example of this Mr. For. He's exceedingly curious in coats and in frocks; So the tailor ’s a pigeon to this Mr. Fox. He delights much in bunting, though fat as an ox, 4 pity, the horses of this Mr, Fox; ey pe ponais most of them lame in the 0Cks ; Such 2 heavy-made fellow is this Mr. Fox. ee NEW PATENTS Issued to Parties in the Western States.

A Chapter from the Chronicles of Pate nan. / Burdette, There was A man lived near Putnam, Mass. who had a favorit dog, a Maltese cross cut, and twenty-nine bens, with their naturai- guardians and consequent broods, aud iccompanying ene- mies. Something nightly igvaded this man’s palatial hennery. sucked a few eggs; and ute a tender weetling little chicken now and theu. The man investigated. Tho robber was a terrible enemy of hencoops, the American P. C.. or the Arctic polar cat. The man carefully opened two or three eggs, be poisoned them with Paris’ green and strychnine und Jaid thein on the tloor of the hen-house. At a lute hour tho next morn- ing he got up, and went to look ata dend p. c. (polaris catbarticus). The first thing He suw was adend dog, his own favorit dog,/midway be- tween the house and the hennery. He wept with grief and rage, and wondered who could have been so mean and cruel. Tho next thing he saw in the corners line was adeadMaltese cross cat. He shuddered and sald, “I can never tell my wife of this." Then he ‘found two dead bens, and his heart misgive ‘him. He went iuto the hennery und counted eleven moro dead hens, and then he knew that what the dog and cat couldn't eat the hens had finished. Ho picked up six hens that were just passing Into the gloomy abode of the shades. And, while be | gnashed his teeth and rehearsed little speeches | Cherinin, the Rev.

THis 1s the branch of our mercantile sys- vem over. which the annual boom comes as a high tide, all the ambition of Christmas centering in the piagg as tho imperial offering of friendship or of tendernees, around which gathers ail the: gladness-and all the splendor of the great holt- day. Andone of the distinct advantages of hol- iduy trading ,in Chicago is that in the great warerooms of W. W. Kimball we have by far the largest, most varied, aud most complete as- ‘sortment of the best pianos and best organs to be found in any one establishment in any city on the globe. In splendor, variety, and magni- tude of stock ft is not a boast nor an cxaggera- tion to say that ag a grand popular repository of tho instruments specially fit to meet the wants of acultivated community for holiday donations, there is no establishment in the United States to bear comparison with this house, which for twenty-five years hus been the polite centre of the trade for the whole Northwestern world. The Christmas piano of the continent, par ex- cellence, ia the Hallet, Davis & Co., and statistics indicated that; the annual transactions of the house, wholesale and retail, in the Hallet & Davis, Kimball, Emerson, and other pianos, and in the Kimball, Shoen!nger, and otherincompar- able organs, exceed the combined sales of all other houses in the business, the agents, travel- ing men, ‘and employés of tho establishment making &galaried roll of not less than four hun- dred men. In organs, the product of Mr. Kim- balls Chicago factory now averages four him- dred and fifty per month, the instraments being not only produced at less than Eastern cost, but excelling the fincat Eastern manufacture in tone, casings, and workmanship, forming the Standard and favorite instruments on Western markets, and controlling n large trade through- out Miphigan, Oblo, and Pennsylvania. Tho preparations for the holidays, the present year, ‘are the most complete ever witnessed at the house.
