NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1878.—-QUADRUPLE SHEET. ~ A LIFESAVING PARTY. Captain Boyton Dines Nan, the Newsboy, and His Mates. THE NOBLE WORK OF BOY Quaint Table Talk About Heroic Deeds Along the River Fronts. “If I was not Alexander I would be Diogenes,”’ said the great Macedonian, and it has probably within the week past been in the mind of the great life-suit traveller that if he was not Captain Paul Boyton he would be Nan the Newsboy. At any rate the Captain has taken a great fancy to Nam and his two mates; he admires them and their work. Thus it came about that the three lads, William O'Neill, Gilbert Long and Edward Kelly, whose humble homes are in the Fourth ward, and whose self-imposed task it has ‘been for six months past to patrol the water front of the lower part of the city to save human life with brilliant re- sults, sat down to dinner with Captain Boyton and a few friends in a snug parlor in the Fifth Avenue Ho- tel last evening. ‘THE PARTY. “Now, lads, sit down anywhere and make your- selves at home,” said the handsome Captain, who was clad in his neat uniform of the French life-sav- ing service, “Idon’t know that any formal intro- duction is necessary; but this is Nan, gentlemen, and he will introduce his comrades.” “This here,” said Nan, “is Gilbert Long and that's Edward Kelly.” The company bowed, and the lads, who naturally felt a little abashed at the unaccus- tomed splendors of the spacious, carpeted corridors they had passed through, the handsomely laid table and the circumstances generally, looked preter- naturally grave as they took their seats, Nan on the Captain's right, Edward Kelly on his left and Gilbert Long a little way down the table, The silent waiters glided in with the little Blue Point oyster, and, after a judicious glance around fora fair start, the boys attacked them. While they are cantiously toying with the bivalves or chasing the slippery little chape over their plates with their two-pronged forks et us look at the Captain’s guests, THE VOLUNTEER LIFE SAVING CORPS. They are all “fixed up,” as the Captain said, half reproachfully to Nan, and look like hard working young mechanics in their best clothes. Nan and Ed- ward Kelly sport neat shirts and collars with a pat- tern of lilac flowers upon them and wear black bows, while Gilbert Long wears a white shirt and collar, and a Beaconsfield tie. Nan is a tall, open , broad-shouldered youth, close on twenty, with light eyes, agile-looking, but loosely built. Long is about thessmeage and height, but thicker set, has dark hair and eyes,and is also frank-looking and open-faced, Kelly is eighteen years old, slim built and a good deal shorter. He has a long and thin face, a good forehead, regular features, thin lips and small, deep-set-brown eyes. He looks pule beside the others, and one would almost think him delicate, but, saye Nan, ‘‘He will go overboard like any of us,”’ A FIRST DIFFICULTY, After a few moments their first embarrassment ap- peared to wear off; for the Captain proved a genial host and conversation seldom flagged, The waiters handed the menus to the company, ineluding, of course, te boys. Nan laid his down and vat it suspi- ely, Long put his aside, and Edward Kelly gazed long and curiously at it. Se deadadaaaaadtaaaert MENU. Blue Point Oysters. s PS.

I guoss we'll take Italian, in honor of old King Victor Emmanuel.” Italian it was, and to save trouble he ordered up good things in such quick succession forthe lads that they found then selves hacking away through the bill of fare with as much outward unconcern as a member of the Knick- erbocker families at the St. Nicholas dinner, It would be invidious to state which dishes the brave lads tackled with their knives instead of their forks or whether they slighted corned beef and cabbage and paid particular attention to roast turkey. WATER ALL THE TIME, On the question of a choice of wines Nan spoke up with a laugh to the effect that he was a corn water man in every sense of the term. - “Won't you drink a little light wine?” said one of the company, “It would raise me head,” said Nan, sententiously. Edward Keily was also a total abstainer, and Gil- bert Long only sipped his St. Julien experimentally. LIVE-KAVING TABLE TALK. Naturally the conversation turned on life-saving, and between the Nestor at.the head of the table and the modest lads who have a record of twenty-four lives to their credit in half a year's service they spoke with knowledge. Now Nan was struggling to put his thoughts into formal language worthy of the oceasion. f) “I see,’ said the Captain, “that you were at it again yesterday. “Yes,” said Nan, laughing, ‘that man at the Harlem slip what went overbourd from the Sylvan Stream. B wuz very heavy; I could never have got him out jone.”” “What was the matter with him?” “I think he wuz under the inflooince of liquor,” ‘id Nan, euphemistically. Drunk?” said the Captain. ‘Well, that's about the size of ‘Mostly accidents and intlooince of liquor. We don’t ketch many suicides. No, I never got a woman. Trun for one, but I was three minutes too late.” ‘Was she drowned 7” 0, @ longshoreman pulled her out afore I come up; his face wu. covered with scratches, she was that mad, She had trouble with her mother, she said.” THRY LOOK aT THE SKY. “One night de three of us come up on an oldish woman on de stringpiece 0’ de dock. She wuz lookin’ up at de sky and down at de water. Thoy allays look up to de sky, dem kind; so we run up to ler and asked her what she wanted, ‘I've lost all I have in the world,’ says sho, ‘and I don’t want to live no more.’ ‘Then go back up de dock,’ says I, aud we grabbed her and pulled her buck nd walked her up. She made two rushes to get over the side, but we put her across the street. Thon I see a policeman and I told him. ‘Oh, that’s all right young feller,’ says he, ‘she’s only crazy.’ ‘Then,’ says I, ‘you orter arrest her.’ Says he, ‘Yon go ong yoang felier, an’ mind yer business, or I'll club de you,” A NOBLE H “How bor ged have you saved “1 saved fifteen, Gilbert Long saved six, Ea- ward Kelly two and one een us—twenty-four altogether since last June, when we started the so- ourself ?”* “Readin’ in de papers of all human lives lost off de docks; den we got together and started de wclety—de Volunteer Life Saving Corp said Nan, with a natve prontinciation of the word “corps,”” showing that his business was with people struggling in the Dark River, “Yes, wo haye appelications, but we ain’t took none o’ them yet. ‘e had one feller ‘on trial, but he didn’t save no lives; he wouldn't go overboard after a man and we gov him de grand bounce. We have eight or ten under consideration now. No, we get no pay.

Gen'‘lly fhovre gone afore we can more’n look 'round.”’ GRATITUDE AT A DISCOUNT. “Are none of them grateful?” “Ha!” laughed the Captain; “save a man's life or lend him $10 if you want him to avoid you ever after.” Then the Captain told of saving & man’s life off Cape May—the man nearly drowned his preserver. When he was dried and himself again, he said, ‘Squire, I want to havo a drink with you.” “Thank you, Idou’t care to drink.” “Dog goue it, I must do something for you,” and he handed a tattered “fifty cent stamp, Fe steerage ie tae iJ urn ir loose [o~-~ forty-nine conts—to the generous ian thoi comrade had saved from a watery grave. lady once,” said he, “on the almost drowned me, and, to save both, I hit her with my elbow on the back of the head, Then I got her nicely in. Inever saw her afterward, but she said toa lady I knew, ‘Oh, yes, I'm grateful to Mr, Boyton, but he might have used me more itlemanly.”* All the boys laughed heartily at this. “What do you do, Nan, with them when they grip smash ‘em in de jaw!” said Nan. ‘How do you catch # man in the water?” said the Captain, “By the neck,” said Nan. “That's not the best way. Catch him by the arm, near the shoulder, and hold him off from you. If you can turn him over on his back you can swim on your back yourself, with him between your legs; but the trouble is they are generally ed. forward, Make me a member of your society and I'll teach you all I know about saving people, aud, what's qe as important, resuscitating men apparently rowned."* “You are a member,” said Nan, like a king raising a soldier's grade by word, and Long and Kelly nod- ded assent. “T'll have my pocket life lines for you next week,” said the Captain. ‘I want to see you rigged out “T saved a young same beach. She shipshape; and, although America sally behind in life-saving —organizatio: think there is generosity enough in iew York to recognize your services by enabling you to do your work in 4 proper manner. What does the Hu- inane Society do tor you?” “Dey gev me a medal,” said Nan, “I'll say dat for ’em, but when I went and asked ‘em to help our work dey’ said dey wuan't goin’ to take any more notice of us.” A CHANCE FOR NEW YORK. ‘The Captain said:—‘These boys have demonstrated that there is a great field for humane cn- deavor along those river fronts, and I expect to see this humble beginnin, become a great enterprige. There should room for 200 volunteers, and I expect to see these young: pioneers the properly paid officers of a publicly recog- nized service. It is a question for New York. Gentle- men,” said he, rising, ‘I give you a toast, perity of the Yolunteer Lite saving Corps. It was drunk with # will, and the modest lads hung down their heads and did not nor were they pressed for a tormal reply. Said Nan, after a pause, “I’m much obliged, Captain.” Such was the conversation about the board. The Captain, to the youngsters’ delight, frequently guve experiences and opinions of his own on the great subject of life saving. The lads, too, told Seepiiig stories of ‘lugging out little young fellers”’ and having trouble with drunken sailors they had picked up. It was a unique enter- tainment, and the boys, who last week refused a va- riety showman’s offer of a handsome salary for show- ing themselves five minutes a night, did not seem in the least spoiled by it. “Remember,” said the Captain, “to look for your reward in the consciousness of serving the cause of humanity.” “That's the.way we does,” said Nan, with a touch ofearnestness that carried conviction with it. MISS FANCHER'S CASE, PROFESSOR BUCHANAN INSISTS THAT SHE IS ABLE TO DO ALL THAT IS SAID OF HER. Professor J. R. Buchanan, who holds the chair in psychology and anthropology in the Eclectic Col- lege of this city, lectured last evening under the au- spices of the Brooklyn Spiritualist Society at Everett Hall, Fulton street, that city. His subject was “Mind, Soul, Spirit; or the Case of Miss Fancher and ite Relations to Science and Christianity.” ‘Miss Fancher,” said the lecturer, “is a a young lady of excellent character, of amiable and con- fiding disposition, remarkably developed in the ideal, sensitiveyand constructive region of the brain, so that if she had never been injured she would have been fluent writer, 4 skilful artist and a clairvoyant. Disease has given her a more delicate spiritual organization and nervous sensibility. The power by which she recognizes ob- jects at a distance and penetrates the characters of persons are no exception to the laws of mature, but simply the exhibition of anatural power which belongs to severai thousand persons in this city, and is no more abnormal than the musical genius of Ole Bull or Paganini, which would. be equally marvel- lons in @ nation that never cultivated music. The history of her case exhibits the unconscious malpractice of educated ignorance, which cannot cope with such conditions, because the knowledge of the nervous system, which explains such cases and their treatment bas Leen carefully exclude! from our medio:l colleges. ‘The pyschic powers which she exhibits have belonged to the human race in all ages. They are not at ull aa rare as eloquence, and there are a number of persons here to-night who possess the sume endowments as Miss Fancher, and some who could surpass her in their exhibition. The fact of Miss Fancher being alive when she does pot consume @ day's provision] in # year ought not to disturb or og ay ists, when medical records are full of similar cases. There is an authentic case of a Hindoo fukir, buried wlive for ten months at Lahore, India, in 1837, reported by Captain Osborne and Sir Charles Wade. have een found in solid blocks of stone as old as the hills, Ladies in the Psychometric Society in New York often describe an individual end tell of his deeds long after he is dead and think it nothing wonderful. Hundreds of skilful physicians to-day are using the higher powers of the soul in making the most accu- rate diagnosis of disease and in recognizing the con- dition or patients at a distance, whose condition they describe often with greater accuracy than the phy-* sician of mere cxternal observation can realize when he visits them. “Dr. Hammond, while shunning investigation—for he dare not make any such offer to parties who are before the public—displays the malignant animus enerally found in unscrupulous scepticism. je makes a cheap of a& courage which he has not, and of a desire to investigate, which he has not, by challenging a poor invalid women, hovering ‘between lite and death, to meet him and his friends, when he ' well knew that his challenge was in its very language an insult, and would be treated with the silent contempt it deserved. To assail this delicate invalid with such acharge as imposture because persons of the highest integrity and intelligence have stated what they have observed is one of those acts of social outrage which may be tolerated by what is absurdly called medical ethics, but cannot be toler- ated by Christian cthics, which ‘the world approves.” UNJUSTLY IMPRISONED, Miss Minnie Warren, of No. 369 Bridge street, Brooklyn, preferred a complaint against Mrs. Ella Brooks on Monday last, charging her with stealing a silk cloak, valued at $100, on the %th of December. Mrs. Brooks was arrested by Detectives Riggs and Zundt and her house searched, but the cloak was not found, She was unable to procure bail, and spent her Christmas in Raymond Street Jail. Yesterday the case was called up for ox- amination before Judge Walsh. Miss Warren refused to testify on tho ground that she had not sufficient evidence against the accused. Mrs, Brooks’ counsel protested against such a disposition of the case, and asked that the complainant be committed for perjury in swearing that the cloak was stolen on the 9th of December, whereas the complainant and defendant together reported the loss to the detectives on the 26th of November last, and said the cloak had been stolen the day before. The Judge denied the motion to commit and dismissed the complaint. Mrs, Brooks threatens to sue for false imprisonment. DIED AMONG STRANGERS. Dr. Leonard Becker, of No. 50 Forsyth street, was brought to the Chambers Street Hospital a few days ago suffering from epileptic convulsions, and yester- day morning the Coroners’ office was notified of his death, which occurred Friday afternoon, and was caused by cancer of the lungs and kidneys. Deceased was a native of Germany, and, it is said, his parents, who are still in that country, are quite wealt! Dr. Becker was a graduate of one of the best medic colleges in Germany. He came to this country several years ago and afew months later was found occupying a dingy room in Forsyth street. Up to the time of his sickness he managed to support him- self by selling salves which he manufactured, He had no friends in the city and the body, it is thought, | ferred to a train sent out to ti will be buried in Potter's Field. DEATH FROM AN OLD BULLET. Among those who participated in tho, second battle of Bull Run, during the summer of 1862, was Frederick Eckert, a private of the Second New Jersey regiment, He was shot in the right side, his wound being so serious that he was discharged and sent to his home in Newark, N. 4d. It was a Minié rifle bullet that pierced his side. The wound healed, but the bullet was never extracted. For # time Eckert felt no very great trouble. He started a grocery store, and until about a your ago ‘busines Then he had to give wp, as he ak without pai The bullet crept OBITUARY. i ! cotoxen EDWARD WILKINS. Colonel Edward Wilkins died early yesterday morn- ing at Riverside, his magnificent country seat, in Kent county, Md., quite suddenly, after an attack of indigestion, producing neuralgia of the heart, aged sixty-five. Colonel Wilkins was widely and favorably known in Baltimore and all over Maryland. He was @ native of Kent county and made that county his home. He was twice married and ieayes five children, ~ His first wife, who was a Miss Jones, bore him three children, one of whom, a son, is still liv- ing. A daughter by his first wife was the wife of Mr. R.8. Emory, a well known farmer, formerly‘ of Queen Anne, but now living in Kent county. His second wife was a Miss Merritt, also of Kent county, and an aunt of Mrs, Captain Burchinal, whose husband is Deputy Collector of Bulti- more. Colonel Wilkins was often connected with polities and ‘took a lively interest in mblic affairs, but he devoted uearly all his ife to agricultural pursuits. He was the first to suc- cossfully introduce peach culture on the Eastern shore, and at the time of Ins death was the largest peach grower in Maryland, and last year, it is stated, made 4 profit of $15,000 from the product of one of his peach farms. | Riverside, a few miles from Chestertown, where he resided, is considered the finest estate in Kent, His ‘father left him only | small “patrimony, “and bis fortune was acquired by his own’ exertions. He took much interest in other branches of agriculture, He attended the recent Dairyman’s Convention in’ New York, ad upon returning expressed his gratification at whatthe had heard, and said he hoped to see the day when a more intelligent interest in this subject would be taken by Maryland farmers, When the war of the States broke out'in 1861 Colonel Wilkins sym- pathized with the federal canse. He was very active in his county in’ advocating the side of the North, and with Colonel Rogers, of Havre de Grace, raised a regiment culled the Second Maryland Eastern Shore volunteers. Eight companies of this regiment were raised through his personal efforts. He was appointed colonel of this regiment, and remained in command for over a yeur, when he resigned, and was succeeded by Colonel Rogers, While Colonel Wilkins commanded it, the regiment was principally on duty in Baltimore and on the Eastern shore of Virginia, After his resig- nation it was sent to the front and did good service in Virginia. In politics Colonel Wilkins was an old line whig and opposed to slavery. After the whig party went out of existence he allied himselt with parties opposed to democracy. He was elected a8 a native American to the Maryland Senate in 1856 and served four years, from 1857 to 1861. He was candidate for the Senate a second time, but was defeated by George Vickers. In 1875 e was nominated by the republicans and. re- formers for Comptroller of the Treasury in opposition to Levin Woolford. He canvassed the State, making speeches in Baltimore, in his own section and in Western Maryland with John L, Thomas, Jr., but with the rest of the State ticket of his party, he was defeated. Colonel Wilkins was appointed Collector of Baltimore by President Grant, im August, 1876. His administration was able and popular with the merchants as well as satisfactory to the government. For political reasons, however, he was removed from office by President Hayes, and lett the position on the 5th of July, 1877, toh | been Collector less than one year. He was succeede by John L, ‘Thomas, the present Collector. Colonel Wilkins was very popular with all who knew him, and was highly esteemed and respected by his inti- mate friends. He was distinguished for the geniality of his temperament and for large heartedness in all the relatious of life. The flag at the Baltimore Cus- tom House was ordered to be displayed ut half mast by Collector Thomas when he learned of the death of his predecessor. CONFIDENCE EXTRAORDINARY. HOW ‘SOHN’ AND “JOSEPH” SUCCESSFULLY PLAYED AN OLD TRICK ON A PEANUT AND APPLE VENDER. Once again the old-time confidence operation of changing a sackfull of lead pipe into a satchel of gold has been successfully tried. This time Michael Veroni has been the victim. He keeps an apple and peanut stand on the corner of the Bowery and Houston street, and the following is the story he narrated to the Central Office offi- cials:—Veroni is a man much trusted by his coun- trymen and many of them have made him acustodian of their savings. Eighteen hundred dollars, which he had received from organ grinders, stand keepers aud the like, he deposited in the Dry Dock Savings Bunk, w.th $1,500 which he himself had ac- cumulated by patient industry and a saving disposition. Some time since Veroni met a friend who is known to the Italian habitués of the Fourteenth ward as “John,” ayd this gentleman in time brought him into correspondence with another foreigner, who was generally called “Joseph.” This Joseph, so Veroni avers, was an ac- complished rascal. First, as the story runs, he gained Veroni’s confidence by representing himself to be a neighbor of his in Italy, and then he set to deceiving him about his connections in this country, | which he claimed were of a highly respectable and opulent ancestry. One day he appeared in a new suit, and with reat show of hilarity annotinced that his father was dead; that he wasa Californian of great wealth, and that he had left him all his fortune. Veroni was naturally interested in his friend's acces- sion to fortune, and he lent an eager ear to what he had to relate. The result was that he became convinced of the other's elevation in the ial world and showed a disposition to befriend hi “Joseph” seid he had fallen heir to an estate which he wished to convert into money, and, to further his purpose, he proposed to Veroni that the latter should draw his money from the bank and loan him it, while he would leave as security in his hands a bag of old he had received from his defunct progeni- wor. Veroni agreed to this, but stipulated that he should accompany the other to Canada and visit the abode of the deceased relative, where the will was to be read and the successor to the estate recognized. Yesterday afternoon he met “Joseph” and “John,” who had in their possession a weighty looking valise, which, they said, contained the gold that was to remain in Veroni's hands as an evidence of good faith. The trio went together to asaloon in the Bowery, where they sat for a time regaling themselves with liquor, There the exchange was made, Veroni handing over the $2,300 and re- ceiving in return the bag of precious metal. After sitting a while over their cups some one suggested to Veroni that he should go home and put his gold out of the reach of thieves. ‘To this proposition he acceded, and off he started with the vase, which he carried along the streets with the utmost care and the tenderest solici- tude, Avarici thoughts began to crowd upon him, and at last, anxious to estimate his wealth, he set th down and opened it. No gold was there. Th low gleam he expected to see was supplanted with the dull gray of lead, Instead of the glittering metal a heap of leaden pipe was allie aw.

In a short time there was a block of trains nearly a mile in length.

To the ordinarily constituted mind the connection between beer brewers and the American flag seems rather remote, but the German animus, with its desi- rous and metaphysical methods, has drawn them into close relationship. “What relationship does a brewer beer to the American flag?’ would make a capital rebus, and inversely and Germanly, ‘What beers the American flag on relationship with the German brewer?” would be equally “guzzling.” These “brewtal” puns are only preliminary to others more terrible, which will beerendered later on. The provo- cation for this writing is to be found in Eighty- sixth street, near Third avenue, where the parish- of St. Joseph's Church haye opened a for the purpose of obtaining funds At this place (in order that the interests might not fiug) the German animus aformentioned (afer- mented) has “put up" an American flag to be yoted to the most popular brewer, and thus (with grea propriety, it will be admitted) blished an inti- mate connection where, reasoning by ordinary methods, it seemed remote. This is a plain state- ment of the case, bereft of all face Tn consequence of the competition thus established the “bung tun’’ of Yorkville is fermented to an extraordinary degree. To use ® Western figure, it been whooped up (hooped up) considerable, friends of the different compotators are “wtavest time casting votes at ten cents § Last night the voting was yery brisk, and ere it ceases Ehret hops to get the fing, as his ‘‘score’ is at present the greatest.

THE OLD COMPLAINT OF OVERCROWDING AND DEFECTIVE VENTILATION—WHAT THE TRUSTEES BAY. ‘The conduct of the public schools is an object of great importance to the citizens of New York, and whatever relates to the ventilation wud general man- agement of the school buildings must have an interest for everybody who hax any concern in the school question. ‘The expecial charge made in this connection is that the school buildings are not properly ventilated and that the janitors do not perform their duties according to the rules laid down for them by the Board of Edu- cation. Mr. James R. Cuming said yesterday:—“I think that the statement that has been made with respect to the radiators being too close to the pupils here in the ‘Cwenty-second ward is exaggerated. I think the seats ure sufficiently distant to prevent any injurious effects to the chil- dren, and it is natural to suppose that if the teachers found the children suffering from excessive heat or cold they would use the uppliances at hand to remedy the defect in the ventilation,”” “What detects strike you in the general construc- tion of the school buildings 7’ “If there be any real detects in the buildings we would be glad to have attention called to them and we will endeavor to have them remedied. In some of the schools—No, 2s, for instance—there are defects which we are endeavoring to correct in the matter of ventilation. ‘The trouble really grows trom the erowded condition of the schools and the inability of the authorities in the present state of the finances to rovide the adequate accommodations, So far as our janitors are concerned they attend to their duties very faithfully, at least as faras we know, We wou have them instantly removed if there was any oc- casion to doubt their efficiency, The Board of cation has the power to remove any officer on proof of dereliction of duty.” MORE SCHOOLS NEEDED. Another trustee, Mr. Walter Carter, said of school No. 17 that the ke ig in poor eondition and the ventilation defective, There is such a crowd of chil- dren as to occasion an outery for new schools, Mr, Jocl M. Measan said that it is a mistake to say that no record is taken of the temperature in ,the schools, The janitor of No. 69, Cornelius Blauyelt, said:— “We have nothing to complain of. I cannot say as much for the rest. The otners in No. 26 and No. 17 are not as well conducted.” Mr. Carter, one of the school trustees, said that he thought the ventilation of the schools as good as that ot any ordinary private dwellin; use. A great deal of talk is heard on the subje but, as a rule, the matter is greatly exuggerated by teachers and others connected with the schools, “The chief complaint we have to make,” said a resident of the ward, ‘is that we are overcrowded, and until we get more accommodations, the question of ventilation must remain in abeyanc: HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES. The holiday season was celebrated by the Sunday school children of St. Ann’s Church, Clinton street, Brooklyn, last evening. The young people commenced the programme. by singing a number of Christmas car. ols. Rev. A. Perkins made a short address, reminding the children that Christ was once a child like them and exhorting them to imitate his good example. Rev. Melville Boyd, of All Saints’ Church, told a story of ‘a good little girl, and the pastor, Rev. R. H. Schenck, then expressed his good wishes toward the young ones of his flock and distributed to the most pro- ficient a number of books as rewards for their dili- gence. The whole company then adjourned to the school room, where Santa Claus, with snowy beard and gorgeous crimeon attire, came down ‘the chimney and superintended the distribution of presents among the crowd of delighted youngsters. FOUNDLINGS’ MERRYMAKING. In the “Christmas greeting’ of the foundlings there is an almost irresistable appeal to the tender- hearted; but when this appeal is supplemented by such an entertainment as the little children afforded their guests, at the Asylum in East Sixty-eighth’ street, yesterday, there is no resisting the promptings of charity. The little folks to the num- ber of one hundred greeted their friends with the Christmas carol, ‘‘Adeste Fidelis,” very sweetly sung. This was followed by ® song of welcome, and then two little girls set out to “tear poor dolly to pieces,” First they tore] off her legs because she couldn't walk, then her arms because she couldn't sew or knit; then they put her eyes out because she couldn't see, and finally broke her head because she couldn’t talk, After some twenty-five of the little irls had performed a graceful wand exercise “Little Stiseniet”™ amused the spectators with her childish eccentricities. “Santa Claus,” in the person of one of the little boys, then hung up a lot of little stri stockings and filled them nearly all with toy: the naughty boy who found a whip in his stocking fairly brought down the house.

ORPHANS’ HOME AND ASYLUM. ‘The Orphans’ Home and Asylum of the Protestant Episcopal Church celebrated its twenty-seventh anni- versary at noon yesterday, at the institution, Forty- ninth strect, corner of Lexington avenue. There was avery fashionable assemblage preseat, and the spacious rooms on the ground floor were beautifully deco- rated, The children presented a remarkably healthy and happy appearance. They were grouped on a tier of sate, elevated one above the other, in the hall where the exercises were held, and they sang the 37th hymn and several carols in admirable style. ‘The report of the Treasurer, Mrs. Henry 8.

For several weeks past applications in cases of the great- est distress were necessarily refused assistance, the treasuries of nearly all the societies being empty. For a few weeks, at all events, the $111,000 now to be distributed among the poor will prevent a vast ainount of suffering. societies will be relieved of the constant flow of applicants to their offices if the smaller societies do their work fully and well. Yet, as nearly all the lat- ter societies attend mostly to a limited circle of dis. tressed people, who may be said to be utterly de- pendent on them, the vast number of suffering females who need help for the winter months only will continue to apply to the three principal so- cieties and expect, as a matter of course, that their wants shall, to some extent, at least, be relieved. These three societies—the St. Vincent de Paul, St. John's Guild and the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor—received in all only $9,800 out of the aggregate appropriation, a sum which will not go 8 long way to meet emergencies should the season prove to be exceptionally severe.

Avery lengthy conference was held yesterday at Police Headquarters between the Chiet of Detectives and the officials of the Manhattan Savings Bank, rep- resented by Mr. Alvord, the secretary, and Mr. Waldo Hutchings, the counsel for the robbed institution. At the close of the conference Captain Keuly was asked to furnish the press with the particu- lars of the comtanaupg, ale stated that he could not do so, *huttths Mow thiek and fast around Headquarters that arrests had been made, but up to a late hour last evening no one of the numerous burglars suspected of the robbery had been secured. ‘This much, however, leaked out, that the officers of the Manhattan Savings Bank were disposed to enter into negotiations with certain parties who ay to act us intermediaries between the burglars and the bank. It was this disposition to negotiate which was under discussion at the conference above mentioned, the police officials strenuously opposing any and tempts at compromise, either with the burglars themselves or their agents, : The bank officials steadily decline to give any information as to their intentions; but those in authority at Police Head- quarters positively assert that arrests will be mado days, perhaps hours. Strange to say, a party ides within a stone's throw of the Manhattan Savings Bank has been under suspicion for more than two weeks, but not a hair of his head has as yet been touel “CHANUCKA” ENT ERTAINMENT, The Young Men’s Hebrew Association gave a brill- jaunt Chanucka entertainment at the Lexington Avenue Opera House, Fifty-eighth strect, last even- ing. The method of the celebration was devised by Rey. Dr. G. Gottheil; the descriptive text written and delivered at intervals by Julius J. Frank; the tableaux, which were numerous and artistically arranged, by Professor Carl Marwig. The chorus and orchestra were under the direction of Professor A, J. Davis. Handel's overture, “Judas Maccabwus,” was skilfully performed by the orchestra. A poem, “Hannah and Her Seven Sons,” was recited by Mrs, M. D. Louis. Charles Fritsch was quite successful in the solo, with chorus, “The Alarm.” The final chorus, “Chanueka," was sung by the entire com- pany with stirring effect. Dancing followed the performances, and the festivities were kept up to an early hour this morning. SUBURBAN NOTES. Cutter’s gristmill, at Little Neck, L.

HOW THE APPEAL OF THE STUDENTS TO THE CZAREWITCH WAS TREATED BY THE POLICE AND COMMENTED UPON BY THE POPULACE~ IS RUSSIA IN DANGER? Sr, Perenspura, Dec, 12, 1878. ‘The town was in a state of considerable excitement yesterday, At midday a large crowd of about eight hundred students of different high schools assembled before the palace of the Czarewitch and declared to the officer on duty at the palace gates that they wanted to see the heir to the Throne in order to speak to him and to present him a petition, The officer went in, and the students had to wait for ten minutes outside. In the meantime there as- sembled @ dense mass of passers-by, who were all curious to know what was going on; policemen began to peep out of every corner of the colonnade near the palace, and finally there ap- peared quite suddenly a squadron of Cossacks and another squadron of gendarmes. It must be stated that the students behaved all the time with per- fect order and calmness; there was not even to be heard loud speaking among them. At last there appeared one of the aides-de-camp of the Czare- witch, and asked the deputation to come in, About one hundred and fifty persons having gone inside the yard of the palace, the gates were shut behind them, and many of them arrested by the police without even having lad the chance of speaking to the Czare- witch, who was reported to be sick. ‘The petition which these students wanted to present to the Grand Duke consisted, a3 reported, of the following re- quests; To intercede before the Emperor about the reopen- ing of the University of Kharkoff, which was shut three weeks azo on account of some disorders of @ non-political character. ‘To restore to the Russian universities the rules in vogue previous to the year 1803—the rules under which the students had their own tribunals, com- posed of their own brother students, who judged and settled all their affairs without the interference ot the university authorities, ‘That an order may be issued to the police officials forbidding them to make visits of inspection to and to search the lodgings of students to arrest them (thus disturbing them in their studies without any suiticient reason) without giving any previous warn- ing of the contemplated arrests, even to the univer- sity authorities. THIS 18 A CRIME, It will be perceived from the above that there was nothing unlawful in the students’ request, but they were nevertheless arrested for an endeavor to present a petition to a member of the imperial family—an act strongly forbidden by the police and University statutes. Their only intention was to make a direct appeal to the Czarewitch, who is known to be of the most liberal and generous disposition. The police, hearing of their meetings and preparations, did not, of course, take any trouble to ascertain the nature of their intended request, but put it down to the account of socialistic and nihilistic proceedings, and arrested a number of them in their lodgings the night pre- vious to their going to the palace, Afterward, as above stated, many of those who came out as a deputation for handing over the petition to the Grand Duke were taken in charge. Of course yesterday’s events were not at all men- tioned in the local papers. The result © is that many quite exaggerated versions of the whole affair are circulated. The students who took an ac- tive part in the proceedings had no intention of mix- ing political questions with theirs. For the most part they were not at all unruly, turbulent youths, but now that their petition is invested with such mystery they are reported by the well-intentioned part of society to have been socialists, nibilists and all sorts of other dangerous people, bent on over- throwing the existing government, on undermining the foundations of individual property, while the true revolutionary disciples contrive to get the ut- most profit for themselves out of the actual disorders in their endeavors to prove that nothing short of a revolution can mend things in a country where such simple requests are not allowed to be brought before high personages who alone have the power and tho will to redress the many wrongs done to peaceful un- offending citizens. ' STATE OF SOCIETY. Unhappily, such malicious slander falls on a ground well prepared to receive it. After the attempts made on the lives of the Emperor William and the. Italian King a great fear was felt among the public here that asimilarcrime might occur in Russia, For the last three wecks a latent fear of serious disturbance was universally felt, The ‘‘underground” literature of the country has been very busy spreading all sorts of insinuations and menaces for the last two months, The articles in the organ, the secret society journal, Ziemlia et Volia (Land and Liberty), grew more and more aggressive aud impudent. Many private per- sons received cautions about attempts being organ- ized to killthem. The manager of the Golos got an anonymous letter in which the day wax even named (the 8th of December) when a universal St. Barthe- lomy was to take place and all the well-to-do people were to be destroyed. The carnage (so ran the mis sive) was to begin with the personnel of the office of the Golos, if that paper did not change till then its mode of spreading among the public unwholesome and perverted notions about the rights of people. The alleged object of the letter was to offer an oppor- tunity to the manager of the Golos to suve his life and be made useful in case he would consent to see the truth and embrace the cause of the Socialists, or “young regenerating party" of the Russian nation, as they call themsclves. The gentleman in question, of course, did not care to show the white feather to people who are afraid to encounter their opponents face to face in an equal struggle, and he told them go in the leading editorial article of the Golos next morning. This article was wholly directed against the Socialistic propaganda, without mentioning the missive which led to that explanation. WHAT IS LIBERTY? ‘These menaces, as so many others from the same source, led to nothing and proved to be only the means tried for frightening people in order to induce thei to hold their tongues and remain inactive. I saw the manager of the (Golos the same day he re- ceived the letter, and he did not conceal his annoy- ance at that occurrence. We had an opportunity to talk the subject over, and I was quite convinced from his manner and his countenance during that conversation (which was free from any restraint on his part) that it was not the fear of any danger in- curred by himself which made him so nervous, but grief for the fate of those young, inexperienced men who aro always involved in such disorders without being able to obtain anything they strive for. The students of the high schools offer always the necessary inflammable material required for the ap- plication of such coups d'état, and the manager, as a former professor of the university, knew well who was to pay in the end for all the extravagances of those rampant cowards, the Socialists, who are so apt to conceal themselves, putting forward only youths, who appear to suffer tor serving the right cause. I have spoken since to many serious people interested in the matter, who are not only acquainted with the classes from whom all these letters and menaces come, but knew the leadgrs of the party in former day Among these peo there were to be found sincere admirers of the principles of liberty and equality. Others declared the whole motive of the society to be dishonest and highly dangerous. But, whatever their difference of judgment, they all agreed that revolutionary and socialistic undertakings are quite out of place in Russia and that they cannot for # long time get implanted here. THE PROPLE ARE PRASANTS, Tn Russia there does not exist the proper soil for receiving the grain of revolutionary ideas, becausy there in no such thing as proletarianism in Russia. Nor is there any bourgecisie—that point de mire of the revolutionary evolutions. Of course proletarianiam in a certain degree exists in the great contres—like St. Petersburg and Moscow—as everywhere in large cities, but the great bulk of the nation con- sists chiefly—one may almost say exclumvely—ot ts, who are very poor and very unh » ime deed; who eat meat only twelve times in the year (the great holidays); who the heaviest taxes, yet who wre eutirely unaware thet there is @ bet- ter mode of life, and wnt will never rush to him; second, and pricdor themselves, the soil being attached to ever, and therefore they are by instinct averse to The most convonteat places for the ietplanting' aad most conven: fo spreading of the revoluti J the factories and such live siege pre abet Roy | and comparatively ore enlightened individuals, bul these are #0 dissemin: geen induced to rise Upanimmously in cases troubles,
