There is much truth in the following
maxim, by one of the ancient sages-"A
small neglect often breeds great mischief
for want of a nail, the shoe is lost--for
want of a shoe, the horse is lost-for want
of a horse, the rider is lost"

The London Sun thus mourns over the
prospects in this country:
There seems to be growing impress
ion that nothing will be done relative TO the
tariff until the new President is elected,
and as Mr.. Van Buren, is understood to be
favorable to low tariff ire see Uih regret
that his prospects are becoming "SmaH by de-
greeS and beautifully less"
Here is an instance Of that mental my
opism with which SOME men are afflicted
making it impossible for them TO perceive
consequences that are more remote than
the length Of their own noses. The Lon
don Sun would have Mr. Van Buren, elect
ed because under his administration the
policy of the United States would be to
favor English manufactures at the expense
Of America; but the sagacious editor does
not reflect, or perhaps he does not know,
that if Mr.. Van Buren, is elected he comes
in with tail, the first and largest joint Of
which is one Thomas II. Benton; and that
the key note Of Mr.. Thomas II. Benton's
political song is "war with England" with
cause or without cause--for Oregon or for
anything, or nottingham with England
at all hazards. Now we take it that one
year Of war between England and the
United States would sweep away from the
farmer all the profits Of so-called Stree
trade" for twenty years; and for our own
part we confess, SO great is our horror of
war; that we would be content even TO see
American industry laboring for twenty
years under all the disadvantages of such
one-sided free trade as England desires,
rather than encounter the miseries of
war with England or any other great
power, however successful it might be, and
fruitful in warlike glories.--[ Jour. Com.

R A BLAST FROM THE CLAY BUGLE.
AlR-"The Hunters Of Kentucky"
Oh! heard ye not those bugle notes,
So startling, wild and clear?
Their music DER each hamlet floats,
And fills each list'ning ear
1t is Clay's bugle blowing loud
To summon ye, SO lucky,
To join in one tumultuous crowd,
The Hunter Of Kentucky,
Oh, Kentucky, the Hunter OF Kentucky
The Hunter OF Kentucky.
Already answering to the call,
A gallant band attend him,
or sportsmen keen, and eager all,
A helping hand to lend him.
Young Tennessee, with welcome cries,
Comes forward to help ye,
Where stands arrayed in sporting guise,
The Hunter Of Kentucky,
Oh, Kentucky, &c.
Hear Cardinals noble sons,
Shout out with their wild hosannas!
Like whirlwind on, the tumult runs,
Der Georga's green savannas.
Ohio too, takes up the cry
She holed the fox before sir;
And Pennsylvania boys ale nigh,
To give him chace once more sirs.
Oh Kentucky, &c.
The wind that from four quarters rise,
Bear high the swelling chorus,
With shouts Of joy each sportsman spies,
The game that's now before US.
1t is the fox OF Underwood,
Far.famed the region round;
BY night, he prowls about the fold,
By day he's under ground.
Oh, Kentucky, &c.
His fur is smooth, his sides are plump
They're stuffed with Treasury Pep
Upon one leg he bears lump,
Raised by hunters trap.
This trap was made Of metal sound,
Set by the hunter Tip"
II gave the fox woeful wound
It "caught him on the hip
Oh, Kentucky, &c.
But 10! he's in the field again,
Reused from the linden bIacken;
A limping leg trails Ger the plain,
His wonted speed is slacken.
His race is run, his days are told
Those bugle notes instruct ye--
The bugle Of hunter bold,
The hunter Of Kentucky.
Oh, Kentucky. &c.
Around him rally, far and near.
Who willing are to aid him,
Ys cannot now, I'm sure have fear,
Sly Reynard will evade him.
And if, in any chace before,
Ye've found yourselves unlucky,
Oh "pick your fints, and try once more"

Oh, Kentucky, the Hunter OF Keutncky

EQUESTRIAN PERFORMANCES OVER THE BEACON
COURSE, HoRoKEN The great German Equestrian
gave sample of his powers yesterday over the
above ground, and although We were present for
the want, as we thought Of something better to do,
we were most agreeably Disappointed in the per-
tormances. They were at once classical and chase
and well worthy Of seeing. The first exhibition
was Oty Motty on two strange horses, selected
from stables in New York, and never before rode
by him, on which he stood erect with one foot on
each horse, without saddle or covering. This is
what is termed by the ancienls IN their sports
"Numide Desul ores" and we believe has never
before been seen IN this country. The splnt
Of sport was prevailing, and the odds were
against his performing the task, mile Ia 2
minutes s seconds, 10 ], and even on III
seconds. He went forth and rode IN most gallant
style, and up the back it was a most beautiful
sIght-a man erect, one leg on each horse-guid-
Ing, In most beautiful style-as straight as a statue
and quite as graceful, and came home IN minutes
seconds. The next was a Chariot Race between
two Roman Chariols, each drawn by Two splendid
horses, and driven by Quo Moty and sig. Laotlnl-
nj, characters In Roman sly lie, correctly and mag
niticenily alfred in the ancient costume OF Roman
char loteers, displaying the most incredible skill
and address IN turning and management OF their
spirited steeds, during their fearful flight around
the course. The charlots, which were constructed
IN the strictest conformity with those used by the
ancients, were decorated IN the most gorgeous
splendcr, and Of sufficient strength 10 protect the

80 and AZ pounds each, al distance of from ten

ball In its descent upon the back Of his uncovered
neck without the assistance OF his hands. He also
caught them from an equal height upon the
muscles OF his arms, aud balanced them III that po

This was preceded by match race Of one mile
between Quo Motty, standing on two horses, and
the winning chariotthe chariot to have forty yards
in the start. Otto soon recovered the advantage,
before they got TO the quarter, and led all the way
home, W inning easy--the other coming In somewhat
about dozen lengths behind.

BUFFALO, July l, 1874.
The Grain Trade and false reports of Spectators
Probable price Of -Four
Since our worthy friends, Poneroy Il Co., have
had the patriotism to come out boldly and take let
tiers for 81 cents from here to New York, think a
line, by the way of news, would be acceptable, and
you may now be advised daily of what is going on
in our Queen City Of the Lakes.
Although am aware that some Of our jockies
may not like to have the truth known, in relation to
the quantity OF breadstuf on hand, at this place, al
this time Nevertheless it being your policy give
the earliest intelligence to your readers they may
be able to derive from any source, deem it but
Justice to give you brief statement Of the amount
of breadstufs thrown into store here and at Black
Rock, for hypothecation, to wit:
Wheat 900 bushels, equal in -four to. 33333 bbls
Flour about. ................ ioo,ooo I"
Making the enormous amount Of. 1888
IN addition of this there is vast amount of pork,
beef ashes, wool, and other products from the far
west, most of which has been thrown into store
here by the Shipping Brokers" for higher prices
As well might they undertake to dam!up the Mia
CARA River TO accumulate IAN excessive amount Of
property at this point with the view of raising the
price Who ever heard Of anything but ruin by
hypothecaton! The harvest has already COM
menced in Ohio and other South Western States,
and owing to the heavy rains and unsettled state OF
the roads since the navigation opened, not one
hall OF the surplus old crop has been marketed by
the farmers in many parts Of the Western States,
while at the same time the coming crop looks un-
usually well, and from present appearances see
no other way to ensure an export demand but to
let flour 90 down to four dollars per barrel in your
city, and let or 100000 barrelsgo off at once
The retail price Of -four which our city people
have TO pay, is out of all reason compared to the
price it fetches in your market. II brings about
81, and made so by our "shpaing brokers' -
Another fine specimen Of the use of that class Of
citizens.
Flour should be SO to $34 here. JUNIUs.
