A Model Speech.

The following is an extract from speech OF
Gen. Buncomb iii favor Of $40 North and
155-49 South:
"Mr Speaker-When open my eyes and look
over this vast expanse of country when see
how, the years of freedom has caused 1t TO rise
in the scale of civilization, and expand either
side when l see it growing, swelling, roaring
ike spring freshet; cannot resist the idea,
sir, that the day will come when this great ma
ton, like young school boy, viii burst its
straps, and become entirely too big for its boots
Sir, we want elbow room, the continent, the en-
tire continent, and nothing but the continent,
and we will have it. Then shall Uncle Sam,
placing his hat upon the Canadas, rest his right
arm upon the Oregon coast, his left upon the
eastern seaboard whittle away the British power
while reposing his leg like freeman upon Cape
Horn. Sir, the day will come, the day must
come"

hstlGtics of the Presidential Election.
The New York Journal of Commerce SAYS the
"hig vote at the recent election is greater than
st any previous one though the gain over 184S
Is only II $50; q, ,292 over 1914, aud 98, ,592
over 1910. The Democratic vote is 365, ,2l6
greater than in 1913; 246, ,598 greater than in
1914, and 1854 greater than in 1910. The
abolition vote is 1876, $50 less than in 1913 and
s0l56 greater than in 1914.
Vermont is the banner State on the Whig side,
IS IS New York on the Democratic the latter
having given Pierce plurality of q 1863, and 4
majority over both whig and abolition Of 1886.
But in proportion to the whole number of votes
goed, Texas is the banner State on the demo-
cratic side, having given nearly three times as
many to Pierce as to Scott. Georgia comes
aeIt having given Pierce more than twice as
many as Scott /; then Arkansas and Florida
lAe ieast plurality in any State is % in Della
ssre for Pierce. The States polling the high

4 Frightened CHinanan.

The San Francisco Hcrald, in describing q
late FIRE, describes the following amusing scene:
"Mr. Hossefross finding it impossible, from
the intense heat, to get his pipes to work in the
rear, determined to smother the flames for mo-
rept in that quarter, by blowing up a portion
Of the building The sansome truck was at
hand with the necessary sapping and mining
materials. Mr.. Hossefross adjusted charge of
twenty-five pounds, applied the fuse, and was
Just the point Of ignitipg it when grief torn
Chinaman, whose property was suffering, rush
ed into the building to save all he could. Mr.
HossefrOss tried every expedient to warn him
Of his danger, but not speaking Chinese, was
compelled to eject him forcbly. The poor fell
los pulled his pigtail distractedly, and rushed
into the house again and again. Mr.. H. finally
pointed to the match, the fuse, and the powder,
sni initiating the noise of an explosion, at last
msie the Cinnamon understand what was going
On. As soon Us the idea struck him, he cleared
the door at bound and sped up the street. his
Fytsil and breeches flying in the breeze, on the
wings of fear. When last seen, just previous to
tie explosion, he was bounding up the cmbank-
meBt at the head of Sacramento street Mr..
H. 8 eZpedient was successful, and taking ad-
vantage CT the momentary cessation Of the heat
behind, he planted his pipe, and the gallant fire
men soon held their own, and gradually gained
control over the fiames''

profitable, "a! spite Of high tariff, to import goods
from those countries where specie-basis cur
reucy has kept them at fair price. Importa-
tions are immense. All goes well until the day
of payment arrives, when it is found that our
paper money will not pass current beyond the
Atlantic. Our specie, rendered surperhuous by
the superabundance of paper money goes abroad
to pay our debts. Then confidence is shaken
A general run is made upon the banks, whose
Golfers, are found not to have dollar IN
them wherewith to redeem their paper,
while their books show thousands of dollars,
lent to spectators, lost forever. The bub-
bic bursts, and universal distress and ruin en-
sue The capitalist of yesterday suddenly finds
himself reduced to the Level of the laborer Of
to-day The widow and the orphan are sudden
ly hurled from competence into destitution.
This is no fancy sketch. It is every word
true. 1t is but history of the great financial
convuIsion of 1887 That greet calamity was
legitimate result of whig policy and whig legis-
latiou.
We have now performed our promise Of show
ing how completely whig policy on the currency,
stultifes whig policy on the tariff. Our task Is
done. We have not now tiIae to notice farther
the multitude of errors whig friends teach
in relation to these kindred topics. Their name
is legion Those we have noticed are probably
the most important On them the truth OF false
hood of the rest depends. The voice OF the
people has lately rolled in thunder tones from
the granite hills of New Hampshire, to the mag
nolia groves of Alabama, in condemnation Of
them Never again the whig party triumph,
so long as its commercial and financial pohcy
remains unchanged. 1t must cast down Its old
idols, marshal under new banners, clothe itself
in new armor, and enlist under new leaders, be-
fore it can ever go forth again to battle and to
victory. PEsNsTLVASiAN'

THE Ok THAT WOULDN'T STAY KILLED.
The Detroit Advertiser tells the following
good one Of a farmer in that vicinity who
drove a very fat OK to market, expecting that
the animal when killed would yield some
twelve or thirteen hundred lbs. Object. He
sold the OK; buyer drove him off, and at
night came back representing that the OK
had been slaughtered, and offered to settle
for it, but showing al account of its weight
which fell hort Of the expectations ofthe far
mer, who insisted on seeing the beef, and af-
ter examining and weighing which, with the
tallow, he was forced to go home, though
not more than half satisfied, with the money
in his pocket. During the night after his
return, the dead OK came back to his yard
alive and well, having broken out Of the
butchers enclosure and the next day the
farmer drove the same OK back to town and
offered to sell him to the same butcher, who
having missed the animal, eyed the new
conner rather suspieiously, and concluding
that he it was who had been sold, bought
the OK at a Jumping price and paid for him
this time.

SCRATCHES III HoRsEs The approach Of
cold, wet weather suggests the publication Of
n few hints On this ailment, which, at this
season, sometimes appears OF the horse Just
above the hoGs and below the fetlock. 1t
Is caused, generally, 10y a want of proper
care for the warmth and dryness of the feet
allowing horses to stand in their stalls after
driving in cold, muddy weather with wet
legs, aad GoiRs nelhiHg TO clean them and
preyeat n chill. At such times their legs and
feet should be we'll rubbed with dry hay, so
As to get lkem warm, aud as nearly dry as
may be. If the disease has already appear
ed, wash the part affected with warm soap
suds, and then with beef brine. This will
effect n cure. Keeping them clean and dry
10y rubbing only, will generally produce the
same result.
Horses with white EGGS and hoofs are said
to be most frequently affected by scratches
but no colors are exempt entirely nor are
colts which winter in muddy sheds and yard,
without proper care aud protection. 1t is
true. however, that some horses are more
liable to the disease than others.-W Woo,

peGY'g CORNER.
FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE.
To Elizabeth.

To Elizabeth.
It's long since the pledge that bound us were broken,
And I was forbidden 10 kneel ut thy shrine;
lis long since those words by the sweet lips were
spoken,
That doom'd me ~o'erlovO withOuth hope, to repine.
And / vow'd in despair, when, the last time I met
thee,
Thy friendship was oaer'd in lieu Of thy love,
That my volatile heart should soon cease to regret
thee,
Or deep as its love its abhorrencc should prove.
But my heart to my will still refuses obedience =
Thine image is on It indelibly 'graved:
My affections. still true to their former allegiance,
Have boauty's artillery inyincibly brayed.
And fancy still often restores to my vision.
In slumber, those dreams too delightful TO last;
I awakc-and reality smiles in derision,
As tomy sad spirit she whispers-"tis past"
In dreams I behold thee as when | was seated
Beside thee-the seat Of all others most dear
All crimson'd with bushes, as when repeated
Tho fond protestations Of lore in thy cur.
Yes; spite Of thy cruelty / must adore thee,
In spite of thy scon my affections are thine
In view Of the glorious prospect before thee,
oh! think what a joyless existence is mine!
Without the sweet hope Of regaining thy favor,
Ny life is a sea without island or shore,
uifc's pleasures insipid, its food without havor,)
No compass 10 guide and no haven before.
But, wouldst thou releEt, and but name the cOndi
ton,
Which, being perform'd, would ensure me thy love
No obstacle then, could resist my ambition,
The hardest, the pleAsantest labor would prove
ARAMIS.
