GREELEY-PHoBIA.-Th New York Plea
y,'ae TINS hits off the habit some people have
of attributing all the evils in the land to the
influence of Horace Greeley:--
According to many of our contemporaries,
Horace Greeley has been at the bottom of
nearly every crime of consequence or interest
that has been perpetrsted or pcrnicious doc
trine that has been exposed fer the Inst three
or four weeks. Naturally alarmed at such
depravity on the part of one of our principal
editors, we have made dilligent inquiry as to
what the Philosopher will be up to in future,
and have ascertained that he is at present
Plotting the death of the President.
Making arrangements for the massacre of
the Cabinet.
Trying to introduce yellow fever into the
city.
Buying couple of powder mills on the
Brandywine Greek, to be blown up for his
amusement.
Filing thin places in the boilers of North
River steamboats,, and hiring the captains to
race their boats.
Bulling the peanut market.
Endeavoring to increase the price of -four to
fifteen dollars per barrel.
Buying up, with Scion Robinson's assist
ance, all the beef cattle IN the market, in or
der to raise the price of -four to fifteen dollars
per barrel.
And going OUT at nights poisoning favorite
dogs, and stoning the pet cats of old maids
smoking in the faces of people-insulting un.
protected females-throwing2y on peoples
clothes, besides performing a variety of other
petty misdemeanors in his leisure moments,

o. Friday, January l9, John /. Taylor was
hung at the County Hospital, near Galena,
for the nur d er Of his wife. At l p. M, in
charge of an rmed posse, he was conducted
to the place of execution, followed by large
crowd of all classes and ages, maintaining d
sad composure during the funeral march. lie
was IN old man of sixty years Of age.
Iohn Ira Taylor was led out Of his cell in
the county Jail about II O'Clock, and in the
custody of the sheriff, surrounded by other
officers OF executive justice, by band Of cit
izcn soldiery, and by dense mass of unarm-
ed citizens; the carriage which conta ined
him was driven to the place selected for his
execution, about two miles without the lin
its OF the city. He was dressed in white
shroud, With white cap upon his head
His cJuhtenance was vacant and ghasi!y;
his eyes were set and staring, and dark
ring seemed to encircle them. Once or
twice he seemed to smile, but it was mere
animal contraction of the muscles Of the
face; spirit did not smile. He had evidently
suffered intensely within, but the outward
man strove hard to cover up all external ira
css of his writings. AS he passed along
Main street guarded as above, the wretched
man was the personifcation of the weakness
of guilt, surrounded by the strength, digiity
and majesty of justice.
Upon reaching the ground, ten thousand
persons there stood in one solid mass. Tay-
lor ascended the scafiold perfectly self-pos-
sessed, and with firm and steady tread
Clad In white gown and cap, he atdressedj
with rIn voice, the crowd for more than
thirty minutes. lie reiterated his innocence
of the crime OF wiliul murder-declared that
he knew not how his wife was killed-eX-
pressed the hope that Gs Christ was crucitied
for all, he was crucifed for him, and the be-
lief that he was forgiven by his God.
After the cap was drawn over his sand
he knew not what instan. he would be ush-
cred into eternity be again, for ten minutes,
addressed the crowd in a firm and distinct
voice, ard admonshcd them to beware OF in
toxicatiun, the cause of his misfortune and
The curse of his life. Weighing some one
hundred and sixty pounds; and having been
given tall oc six teet, upan the removal OF
the trap door, lie died almost without a
struggIe-his neck seeming to have been
stretched near four inches. Thus died John
|. Taylor, who had "rendered the State some
service" in the Seminole war--periormed in
this city last summer, during the cholera sea-
son, offices of kindness and humanity from
which others shrunk from as dangerous, but
who, unfortunately, was addicted to drunk
ennes, and slew his wife in fiji Of inebria-
tion.

proposal, and went in search Of that most

they please ab0utit. The following reso-

Of good sense about them quite refreshing:

CUNPOWDEE.

The Liverpool (England) STANDARD says:-
"Su.ne OF TIE effects of ignited gnnpowder
are wonderful. When gunpowder is hcaped
up in the open air and inlamed, thero is no
report, and hu, little effect is produced, A
small quantity open ard ignited in room,
forces the air outwards, SO as TO blow out the
windows; but the same quantity confined
with bomb, within the same room, and ig-
nited tears in pieces and sets on fire the
whole house. Count Kumlord loaded a NOR
tar with one-twenteth of I'm ounce of pow
der, and placed upon it twenty-four pound
cannon he then closed up every opening as
completely as possible, and lied the charge
which burst the mortar with tremendous
explosion, and lifted up its enormous weight.
In another experiment, Count Rumtord con-
fined twenty eight grains oE powder in cy-
lindrical space which it just filled, and upon
be.ng fired, it tore asunder a piece OF iron
which would have resisted a strain OF iou'
hundred thousand pounds"
