. .CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY. ?
" Feakktort, A. M.t Jan. 2. 1845.
y Since fclast WTote, wehave nvitnessed
the most beauti fair and interesting of all
German Ifestirals Christmas.; " This "is
here peculiarly celebrated, and the pre
paration for it commences nearly a month
beforehand. About the commencement
of December the Christmas market or fair
was opened infthe Rccmerbergr.' and has
continued till the present time. The booths
were filled with toys of all kinds, decoM-
ted with grefn bopghs, amoii x li Ich d U-
ring tne lirst days the ngure or St. Nichr
olas was conspicuous. There were bunch
es of wax candies to decorate tho Christ
mas tree gingerbread ,with printed mot
toes in poetry, Beautiful little earthenware,
basket-wjprk, and a wilderness of toys. f
The 5th of. Deemberbeihg St. Nicholas
evening, the booths" were lighted up, and
the squafe wak filled with boj-s, running
from one stand to another,' all shouting
and talking together ( i n the most; joyous
confusion. Nurses were going - around
caringithe smaller children in their arms
and f parents! fcfoughtrT presents i decorated
witpsprigs ofpine and carried them a
way. rSomeo' the shops had very beau
tiful tbysf as, toriristancei a vvholc groce
ry store in miniature, with barrels, boxes,
and drawers f filled with sweetmeats, a
kitchen with ajstove and all suitable uten
sils, whicVcoujd really be used, and ets
of distesjof thjs most- beahtiful patterrisr
All was a scc ie of activity aud joyous
feeling.' ' - . - . V - K:-'C--. , - ,
- Many of the tables had bundles of rods
with gilded bands, which were to be used
that evening tiy the persons who repre
sented S6 Nicholas, lln the family we re
sido with, one qf our German friends dress
ed himself up Very comically, with a mask,
fur robe, and long tapering cap. He came
in with abunch of rods and a sack, and a
broom for a sepptre. After we all had reJ
ceived our shai-es of the beating, he threw
the contents of his bag out on the table, and
while W jWerevscrambling for the nuts and
apples gave us many smart raps over the'
fingers.: In families 1 he children are made
to say I hank you, Herr Nicholaus " and
the rods are hung up in the rooni till Christ
mas to keep them in good behavior. This
was onlya- forerunner of the Christ-kind-chen's
commff.lThe Nicholaus is the pun
ishing spirit ; the Christ-kindchen the re
warding ibh'cu,. -j ' -... '
' Whenjhis tinie was over, We all began
preparing secretly our presents for Christ
mas. Every day; there were one or more
consultations labout the - things which
should ho got. j It was so arranged that
alKshould interchange, presents, but no
body musl knof beforehand what he would
receive. What pleasure there was in all
these secret purchases and preparations I
Scarcely any thing was'thought or spoken
of but Chrtstmjis, and everyday. the con
sultation. became more numerous and se
cret. The trewere bought gome time
beforehand ; but, as we were to see the
festival for thefirst time, we were not al
lowed to lee tHem prepared in order that
the effect might be as great as possible.
The ntarket, injRcemerberg Square grew
constantly Larger and more ; brilliant. Ev
ery night jit was lit up ;withV lamps and
thronged I Wiih l people. ' Quite a forest
sprang up in the street before our door.- "
The old sjone hpuse opposite, With the tra
ces of so nany Jcenturies on its dark face,
seemed to stand in the midst of a garden.
It was a pleasure to me to go out every
evening and see the children rushing to
and fro, shoutirg and seeking out toys
from the booths!, and talking all the time
of the Christmas that was so near. These
poor people would go by with' their little
presents hid under their cloaks, lest their
Lcliildreh might see them : ;but every heart
was gladand every countenance wore a
smile of secret pleasure. " ? ;

ANEfjpOTE QF CHIEF JUSTICE MARSHALL.

residing !n this country, has sent us
Ion the following anecdote of the
for puhllca
I
ate Chief iBjtice MarshalL - In a note accom
panying it bet says that we may rely with confi
dence upon ! its authenticity. Western Citizen
I "Many yajfs ago Colonel II ' " , a highij
respectable j citizen of this county went into Vir
ginia on a tradiny expedition. It waa , in the
days of the j Bank cf the United States; and at
a period w jen a pretested bill of exchange was
more frighlful than an apparition. Things have
changed somewhat since, and . the epistolary
visitations jufj the notary public, then so alarm
ing, have in later times,-hecome as, familiar as
hcrusehold words. ' "' r
. But to our story. ' The Colonel had taken in
a drove of Uorses, and meeting an unusual dull
market, hej found himself in Richmond, with
stock on hand and no means to meet an accep
tance o! $1000 on which the following day was
the last day of grace. He plead for time, lut
the officers were inexorable : pavment must be
made, or in default a protest, and the ghost of
a ruined reputation loomed heavily in the back
ground of tho Colonel's imagination. In the
midst of his perplexities a thought suddenly
struck him, land with a philosophical coolness
peculiarly his own, he determined to put it into
execution. He inquired of the Clerk for the
residence o Judge Marshall j it was pointed
out to him, and thither he wended his way.
On arriving at the mansion, he was admitted
at once to an audience with the Judge, whom
he briefly describes as a remarkably great man
with a remarkably small head.
, He told the Judge his name was Colonel
H , that he lived in Bourbon County, in
the State of Kentucky, that he had come to Vir
ginia with stock, and on the faith of a good mar
ket had negotiated a bill of exchange for $1000,
which was due at one of the banks on tint mor
row and most; unfortunately for him he had no
money to pay
it off. At this point the Colonel
faltered; it was but for a moment, however ;
his heroic resolution overcame all scruples, and
with a gravity which in most men would have
seemed a mockery, he added 14 and, sir, I want
you to pay it. The Judge modestly replied,
44 my good friend, I don't know you." 44 That
matters not," said the imperturbable Colonel,
tt
I am good, so is tho bill, my credit is at stake,
you can save it ; I
interest ; I have a
I will re-pay you principal and
large fUmily dependent upon
me for support, and while you will save my
commercial reputation from disgrace, you will
incur the lasting gratitude of one who, though
you may never need his assistance, will never
forget your kindness."
The Judge with his usual .perspicacity dis.
covered at once the character of, his man, and
promised to meet him at the bank the next mor
ning. Punctual to his appointment they met ;
Judge Marshall took up the bill, and proffered
additional money to defray the Colonel's expen
ses home.
In the autumn of the same year the Colonel
was again 1n Richmond with hogs. Having
sold and received the money, he called on the
Judge and paid the debt, who refused all inte.
rfist, being, satisfied with having saved the cred
it of a man i who had proved himself worthy of
his own confidence. ....
The Colonel is still living and in good health
and recounts with great satisfaction the history
of his first 'acquaintance with Chief Justice
Marshall. t

w After the dreadful accident to-dav. the race

Of the accident above alluded to, we copy the
following account from the Philadelphialnquirer :
Yesterday was a day of much excitement at
the Camden race-ground and its vicinity. Thou
sands passed over the river from the city, and
collected together from the surrounding country
to see the great race between Fashion tnd Pey
tona. - lssf;-':-'y' i '
TheTace.was to take place at one o'clock,
and as that hour approached the stand became
crowdedand the excitement deepened in inten
sity. Oh" the' principal stand there could not
have been less than fifteen hundred persons, far
too many for its strength. - . , ,
When Peytona and Fashion were brought
out, and the race was about to begin, there was
a sudden movement a sort of general bending
forward, to catch a view of the celebrated hor
ses. This movement produced an extra strain
upon ther stand which wavered, tottered, and
cracked At first it parted and fell gradually -at
least, sufficiently so to give a momentary, and
only a momentary, warning of danger. Then
the whole centre of the ponderous mass con
taining two stories and more than one hundred
feet in length, fell with a tremendous crash.
The scene that ensued beggars all description.
The cry of panic and alarm was truly appalling,
and it was impossible for a time to discover the
extent of the injury, and the belief at first was
general that a great number of lives had been
lost. . Poles, Vfere promptly 'obtained to ' keep
the crowd back, and to remove the 'ruins and
lumber. This ground floor was occupied with
eating, drinkingand gambling tables, arid con
tained a great number of people, some of whom
were among the wounded.
It occupied about half an hour to clear away
the mass of rubbish. Meanwhile, the reports
were of the most exaggerated character, and
by the time they reached the city the number
of killed was placed by several of them at over
one hundred. As far as we have been able to
ascertain, no life .was immediately lost, although
a boy was carried away apparently dead, and
it was feared that five others were dangerously,
if not fatally, wounded.
THE JESUITS.
The Paris papers contain a report of
the trial of a person who officiated for
some time as cashier to the Society of Je
suits, established in Paris, and in that ca
pacity filched from those poor sons of the
Church abont 10,000 pounds sterling.
With that sum the rogue led a dashing
life, keeping three or.four mistresses, giv
ing splendidciej, and eclipsing by his ex
travagance all the grand signeurs of Pa
ris. WJiat is, however, most remarkable
in the case isthat the Jesuits, who make
a vow of poverty, should have so much
money within reach of a clerk ; but even
the 10,000 pounds that the man stole was
but a tithe of what he might have stolen.
Another remarkable thing is, -that these
Reverend Fathers do not seem to be so
occupied with the things of heaven, as to
have no time for the things of earth ; ;for
they possess shares in banks and railways,
and tney purchase or establish any mer
cantile undertakingvhich produces mo
ney i n short, they take anything i n hand
that promises to bring grist to the mill,
whether it be taking part in a foreign loan,
or manufacturing lucifer matches. But
what puzzles me is how the worthy Jesu
its should have placed their defalcating
clerk in the hands of Justice ; for in a
work I happened to read a few days ago,
I found that one of their body lays it down
that" robbery is permitted, in case of neces
sity. : 44 Is robbery permitted,'! asks- the
Jesuit writer, in cases of absolute want?"
