The Signs Of the Times.

The New York Herald. which has
never been known 10 be on the losing
side in a canvass for the Presidency, has
the following opinion in regard to the
American party.
I'VE verify believe that by the droll
result or split Of the Council in Philadel
phia, both the Seward party and the
Frank Pierce party are completely
caught in a trap. The several Know
Nothing States organizations over the
Union will never be abandoned until at
ter the Presidential election of 1856, and
for that single contest they can bring
already nearly $500, 600 absolute voters
into the field besides the volunteers they
may pick up by the way.

Anecd0tc Of John Adams.

John Adams, when he was President
OF the United States, was most grossly
insulied by one Matthew Lyon, a Repre-
tentative in Congress from VERMONT
Lyon was, as we know, a most consum.

Lyon affirmed with an oath that he
hated President Adams, and was often
heard 10 say that if he could only give
him one good tweak ofthe nose. he would
Idle and go to--satisied."' Mr..
Adams was very fond Of walking; and
i. was well known that he almos, every
morning walked for exercise from the
Presidential mansion to Georgetown
bridge, a distance OF two and a falf miles.
Ore morning, in the monlh OF June,
1899. as Mr.. Adams was taking his
usual stroll, he was met by Lyon, who
thus accosted him: a
you are the President OF the United
States. | understand"
my name, cir" replied the President,
"is John Adams. l am a native of
Braintree, Massachusetts, and the people
OF the United States have elected me TO
the office of Chief Executive of the Uni
am, sir, very much a. your SER
vice."
Lyon, who was q stalwart men, OF un-
usual irascible temperament, was rather
taken aback by the cool and determined
manner Of the President. and at first
hesissIed TO proceed. bu. at length. sum
moning all his native recklessness 10 HE
aid, he drew himself into a hostile at,
ritude, and rudely vocifo:ated-
"Well, sir, am Matthew Lyon, a
representative from the State Of Yer,

A, the instant, Mr.. Adams who in
following the fashion of the times, carried
or wore a long and and very heavy gold
headed cane, raised it above his head.

But Gcd and time are mercifnl: and,

Of her as garlanded in the golden fruit

This was the memory that his friend
sang Of as they sat in the summer twi-

faces that had glimmered and faded in
heir early pathway. Now, of oil the
glad hearts childhood had clustered to

fores, shade, and beneath the waving
prairie grass. Some there were who
slept peacefully ia the green old Church.

best was Sweet Alice. All, he could
never havs forgotten that. m
He bad heard from the lips Of that
desolate mother, ere she vert 10 sleep
beside her darling, how patient and holy
Alice had crowns; how she had passed
calmly away in her saint like beauty,
leaving messages that a fond yearning
heart could only dictate. Down in his
heart, deeper than any other earthly
thing, he had lain them, cherishing their
beauty and greenness. Many time
had the spirit form Of Sweet Alice risen
before his eyes in all the beauty of that
far off land he saw but SO dimly, and
knew when tina, ding called life had
merged into Immortality he should meet
her again. o
