There is, perhaps, no land where one has a better opportunity to observe old customs than in Germany. We wonder sometimes how she has contrived to whirl through the giddy maze of time with her sister lands and yet get no more shaken up than she has. One of these old customs is the observance of the evening before a wedding. ' It is called "Polterabend." The verb "to poller'' means to make a great noise, and the evening rightly takes its name from the word. { It is a proverb here that " the more pot- ! sherds the more luck." Therefore the friends of the bride collect all the old earthenware which is hors dv combat for household warfare, and bring it and dash it against the house where the bride lives. Old cracked plates, saucers, earthen pots, handleless cups, and nose less pitchers close their crippled earthly career by the frantic plunge at the foot ! of the altar of Hymen. It takes but a short time for the news of tho "polterabend'' to reach the ears of .the street boys, and then the work goes on merrily, for • when could boy nature ever resist so glori- ' ous an opportunity to smash something ? One living in tho house, or even in the vicinity, feels as if Joshua with his armed \ band were compassing the premises for the '. seventh time, and as if the walls might fall , at any moment, or as if that mythical "bear bad at last really got into the , "china shops," so continuous is tbe crash. ( The family are obliged to have these tokens of good luck removed as soon as it is light - on the following morning, or be fined, as they obstruct the sidewalk. It often requires a horse and cart to i do it. While this strange ceremony is ■ taking place outside the house, the friends , of the lady have gathered within. No invitations are given, but the house is thrown open, and all the acquaintances are , expected to come. Each guest brings , some gift, and the presents are placed on a i table as they accumulate for the admiration , of the assembled company. It is cus- | tomary to have some short dramatic piece , or pieces acted. These are usually pre- , pared for tbe occasion, and weave in many j a sly hit at the habits or tastes of the devo < ted pair, or hints at the peculiar incidents ( of the courtship. . ■ ■•»■ . , Death of Daoud Pacha.—ln , 1816 there was born at Constantinople, of a Christian family, a child who was des tined to wield great influence in the affairs , of a Moslem empire. Although his family , suffered by the persecutions of the Chris- . tians in Turkey, in 1827, the young boy known in after life as Daoud Pacha—es- t caped unhurt, and was sent to Berlin to be - educated. On bis return to Constantino ple he became professor of modern lan guages in the Ottoman military college. Since that time he has uninterruptedly ! held office under the Turkish government, having last been governor-general of the Lebanon, to which office he was appointed after tbe Druse massacres of 1860. Daoud Pacha was an Armenian by faith. He was an excellent linguist, an accom plished diplomat, and a man of integrity and ability. He attained the highest hon ors ever reached by a Christian under the Sublime Porte. He died at Biarritz, France, on the Bth instant. A Joint stock company has been organized in France to tunnel the Straits of Dover, and connect England with France by .rail. Dover and Calais, the points to be connected, are twenty-three miles apart, and the formation to be penetrated is be lieved to be nothing but an immense bod of chalk, of at least eight hundred feet in thickness. Machines far sinking wells in chalk deposits have been invented, which in twenty-four hours will bore a hole through such material fifty-four feet deep and seven feet in diameter. The company estimates the cost of a railroad tunnel twenty-three miles long at about $50,000, --000. ACCORDING to tbe slate census of lowa the population of the state is 1,251, --533. The national census of 1870 gavo it a population of 1,191,792. The increase in the two years is therefore, in round numbers, sixty thousand. The census of Michigan in 1870 showed a population of 1,184,050, leaving lowa slightly in advance; but if the figures of the lowa state cense B •re correct, the Detroit Tribune thinks that Michigan has more than made up tbe difference, and is now handsomely ahead of lowa. The state census of 1874 is expected to show a population in that _ tato of very nearly, if not quite, a million and • half, CITY NEWS. Police Court.—.Justice White dis posed of the following cases in this court George Robinson, having stolen property in lis possession, discharged. J. F. Taylor, abusive language, fined Samuel Slater, vagrancy, three months in Jack Butler, Frank Shinault, Fred Vogle, drunkenness, the former jailed three months, the two latter discharged. Jack Butler, abusing a policeman, jail three months. Young Butler, stealing 475 worth of boots and shoes, sent on to the grand Jacob White, stealing, discharged. Laura King, alias Gate wood, drunken ness, discharged. William Christian, alias Coleman, brick ; assault, continued until 26th instant. Thomas H. Taliaferro, unlawful assault, twenty-four hours in jail. Walker Hill, trespass, fine"d *5.00. Carter Lawson, trespass, fined $2.50.

' Amelia Peterson, stealing, discharged. ! Robert Meredith, creating a disturbance, jailed three months. William Sims, shooting a dog, continued ' until to-morrow. ' i A Sharper Bit.—A short time ago a f sharper visited the office of a gentleman in I this city and presented a letter from a well- < known mining company of a western city ( to the clerk in attendance, who was kind t enough to loan him $25, with which he took a his departure northward, in company with ti a gentleman also connected with the office, li A week passed, and nothing being heard I from the stranger, the proprietor wrote to I tho western firm and found that his cleric had been swindled. A few days after the gentleman stepped on the boat at Washing- o ton and was introduced to a man who £ afterwards proved to be the one that his J clerk had made tho loan to. lie at once I demanded the amount loaned. The fellow said he had no money, but gave " to him his gold hunting-case watch d and chain as security until their b arrival in Richmond, when he would h arrange the matter; saying that since he was here he had a difficulty with the J western house, hence their refusal to J recognize their;former letter. When the boat d touched at Alexandria it is supposed that he slipped off, as nothing was seen of him after that time. As soon as possible the p authorities were telegraphed to, but have P failed thus far to find the man. The z watch and chain were only plated with tl ;old, but are presumed to be worth the C §25 the light-fingered party got. v Churches Yesterday.—Though the a weather was threatening and inclement yes- t terday, the attendance on divine services at the various churches was large. At Broad-street Methodist in the morning and h Centenary at night large congregations c were present to hear that distinguished a divine, Bishop Keener, of New Orleans, v who preached two most excellent sermons, c Rev. Frank D. Moore, of Nashville, son 1 of the late Rev. T. V. Moore, for many a years pastor of the First Presbyterian o :burch, in this cty, preached to a large and attentive audience in this church morning and night. After service a large number of £ friends of the young pastor remained to greet f< him personally and congratulated him on ? the ability with which he expounded the • Gospel. . ] Assembly Hall was well filled in the 1 norning, and a fine sermon was delivered !< >y Rev, M. D. Hoge. s At the Second Baptist church Rev. William E. Hatcher, after the delivery of t t fine discourse in the morning, received r iix Sunday-school scholars into the church. In the afternoon services were he'd, and on ° nvitation some fifteen persons presented !] ;hemsclves for the prayers of the church. J X~Zt <J Excitement at a Church.—Con- " iiderable excitement was created in the leighborhood of Fifth and Grace streets resterday during services at Centenary 8 :hurch. A half-witted individual entered ll .be dwelling-house of Dr. J. E. Edwards, ° »hile the inmates were at church, with the S ;xception of a servant woman, and she leing unable to do anything with tbe larty, and becoming frightened, rushed nit and across the street into the ~ ihurch, hallooing out to the Doctor, vho was in the pulpit, that robbers lad broken into his bouse. No little ex- 1 sitement was created for a time. Several ;entlemen accompanied the servant woman p ;o the Doctor's house, and found a man vho proved to be one Patrick Fay. They D urned him over to a policeman, who iscorted him to the station-house. This norning he was brought before Justice White, who ordered him to be sent to the Almß-house. P Remember the Poor.—The poor we = nave always with us, but this winter their . number and their needs may be greatly multiplied. Owing to the hardness of the times many persons are out of employ- j ment who have hitherto been above asking l the assisance of their fellow beings, while those who are always on tbe verge of i want are now likely to sink into its yery < depths. Unless those who have the means to secure their own comfort, with some , surplus beyond, shall be willing to share ' that surplus with their destitute fellows there will be a degree of suffering in this city this winter which will do no credit to j our Christianity and our civilization. It behooves all well-disposed persons to do what they can to save the deserving but ' unfortunate poor from severe hardship ' until money—and what is better for them, employment—shall again be plentiful. Assembly Hall.—This hall, with ita , previous popularity, has the following at tractions in. store: On tho 27th of this . month the Hibornia society give a ball; ] on the 10th of December an amateur com pany will give an entertainment for the the benefit of a Sunday-school, and on the 15th of December C. B. Jefferson and his company will give a grand entertainment. The Assembly Hall company are also ne gotiating with one of America's greatest wizards to give a week's entertainment in the spring. This is the largest hall in Virginia, and traveling companies, if they have any merit at all, can always do well at this ball. Marine Disaster.—The tug-boat Comet, of Alexandria, Va., which was i sent to this city a short time ago to tow on I James river, was caught in the gale off. Newnort News on Monday night, and was beached to keep her from swamping. She ia high up on the beach, but may be pulled A Friend in Nerd.—A youthful and rather bilious colored fellow citizen, having gotten himself into a slight un pleasantness last night, called this morn ing on the representative of a popular New York journal residing in our midst, with whom he was acquainted, for a letter to Sergeant Chalkley to mitigate his pro spectively hard fate. He got the follow ing document: Richmond, Va., Nov. 24,1873. Captain Chalkley : My Dear Sir—lf you can assist the bearer by your good advice or aid this morning, you would confer quite a favor on me. The boy has got himself intoa difficulty. Perhaps he deserves to be punished, and if so, there is no reason why he should not be. Very truly yours, E. C. The offender was let off. Magnetic Iron.—Large beds of magj netic iron ore have recently been discovered in Buckingham county. This is said to con tain sixty-seven per cent, of iron and only 200 parts of one per cent, of phosphorus. It contains the lightest per centage of phos phorus of any iron ore in America. The vein is almost inexhaustible, and boulders of it exist on top of the ground as large as a small room. It lies near slack water navigation, and can be easily transported to market. A blast furnace will doubtless soon bo established there. Buckingham is the richest county in minerals of any in the state. Married.—Arthur Braza, who under the name of Arthur Hernandez delighted our citizens during the last week by his wonderful exploits as a gymnast in connec tion with the Black Crook company, was married by the Rev. Dr. John E. Edwards in Saturday morning last, at the residence >f the minister, to the sprightly young ac tress and danseuse, Ellen M. Howe, of the same troupe. We wish them joy in their lew state, and hope we have not seen the ast of them. Mr. Braza is a native of ' lavana, Cuba, and the bride was born in ' jondon, England. : Dead.—Edwin W. Wade, formerly if this city, a son-in-law of Captain Q. A. jwartzman, of Baltimore, and a brother of Tohn G. Wade, esq., of this city, died in Baltimore on Saturday. Miss Hattie Miller, the young lady who vas burned, and was noted in Satur lay's issue as being in a critical condition, ireathed her last yesterday, between the lours of five and six o'clock. Mrs. Maria Olopton, widow of the late fudge John B. Clopton and mother of Tudge William I. Clopton, of Chesterfield, lied in Manchester yesterday. Case of Broocks.—The case of this tarty, late president of a national bank in 'etersburg, who is charged with embez ling and secreting $100,000 of funds of he Dank, was called before United States Commissioner Pleasants to-day. Two fitnesses, Messrs. E. 6. James and Alex- , inder W. Archer, of Petersburg, were ex imined, when the commissioner adjourned he case until to-morrow at ten o'clock. Canvasssing the Vote.—The state joard of canvassers, consisting of the gov srnor, secretary of tho commonwealth, tuditor, treasurer, and attorney-general, vere engaged to-day in canvassing the vote :ast for members ol the general assembly. The official returns of the vote for governor ire counted in presence of both Branches if the general assembly. Convicts Received.—Superintendent .trother has received an addition to his brce of three, namely: John Southall, who ivill tarry with him for ten years for enter ing the wrong house; Samuel Wilson, one rear for second offence petit larceny, and Etobert Lee, for three years for using "a cnife two freely. Norfolk furnishes these itate feeders. Domestic Wines and Brandies.— >Ye call attention to the announcement of [>r. George K. Gilmer, in another column, iffering for sale a large 'quantity of do nestic wine and brandy of his own make. These liquids possess the recommendable juality of being pure. Read the Doctor's lotice. Off for Cuba.—Captain John Prey, ipecial agent of the postoffice department, las received instructions to proceed at >nee to Cuba to look after the United Hates mails. l Ileum. Strong bed-clothes—Three sheets in he wind. The Richmond geiman and hop club are )uiescent. < The state has about $750,000 on de losit with four Richmond banks. The people are discounting the banks leoause the banks don't discount. The pavement in front of Johnston's lews store needs repairing badly. Rev. C. C. Bitting, of this city, ireached in Petersburg yesterday. Governor Walter Gwinn, a former liatinguished citizen of Richmond, is in own. Those who attended church ast night on foot were well sprinkled on .heir return by rain. The current rate of coupons receivable for taxes in this city is 82a83 ;ents on the dollar. General Walker is The Enquirer's candidate for United States senator from Virginia, as Lewis' successor. The Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac up day mail train leaves Byrd street depot at 3 o'clock p. m. hereafter. The friends of St. Mark's church will please bear in mind that the fair for its benefit will commence Monday afternoon. Nineteen-twentieths of the peo ple of this world are mere bread-winners. The other one-twentieth live on the follies of the rest. Life possesses for each one of us one grand event, one moment whose influence can never die, whose emotions can never be forgotten. It is understood that General Kem per wants no pompous or ceremonious in auguration as Governor, which is bad for the K. K. K. Would it not be a good thing I for tbe city authorities here to bave the public lamps nearest the fire-plugs glazed with red glass ? Society in this country is made up for the most part of empty-headed people of both sexes whose current coin is small talk and flattery. Farmers say that "late chickens are the best layers.'. This is in contradistinc tion to the old adage of the early bird It may be a deplorable fact. and drink to bring civilized people together aml make them enjoy themselves. It is not yet determined whether Governor Walker will send any message to the general assembly, as he will go out of office a day or two after it meets—or as soon as the votrs for governor can bo It is stated that loans on real estate are made in this city on as high a rate as 30 percent per annum. Such real estate should be in the Isle of Sky, and the party who required such a rate should be located iv Beelzebub's bosom. AORAND VOCAL AND INSTRUMEN TAL concert will be given at the Vir ginia Opera-house to-morrow (Tuesday) night under the auspices of the Eureka Quartette ot this city, for the benefit of Clay-street M. E. church South. Saturday the governor issued a warrant of rendition to the sheriff of Rockbridge county for Joseph Childress, charged with horse-stealing in Kanawha county, West Virginia, and lor his de livery to John W. Sentz, the agent appointed to receive him. Julius Ctcsar married at seventeen, Owen Meredith had read Locke at eight, Andy Johnson made breeches at eleven, Cleopatra conquered Cseaar at twenty-one, Jonah's gourd made him an arbor in one night, and Johnny Redford engineers the prettiest hat store in Richmond. The committee appointed to devi»e a plan for the relief of the poor, will meet at four o'clock this evening at the rooms of the Young Men's Christian association, Main street. The best plan that can be devised for the purpose is the one originated by us called the "Shell-Out" system. ___ In Memory of Colonel Richard A.
