AUNT FANNY hashad few Shanghais
sent to her and thus writes concerning them
to the Ohio Cultivator:
Our Shdnghais, what shall say Of them?
When Doesticks described his sorrows under
the inliction Of Burnham's present,
thought he dealt in hyperbole, but when our
friends, the DIS, sent four of the ra-
pacious monsters to summer with us,
learned more of the trials of Shanghai life
than ever before had dreamed of in my phi
losophy.
They were four gigantic birds, which ono
money could buy" and as they dropped in
the city, and pinned for green fields and fresh
breezes, we offered them home for q few
weeks. Such Growing, it was like the rum
bling of young Vesuvius, and the clapping
of the wings broke the nights silence like
the crashing of old oaks in o storm. The
eggs were wonders, and forthwith old speckle
and dominique were robbed of their own
pretty treasures, and the big brown strangers
put in their place. But though they did all
duty 'swatching and waiting with patient,
tender care,' twas all failure. No cal
low young came forth to peep ut break of
day. Time, eggs, and hope, all were lost.
Then ssThomas Benton' took sick, and
three weeks of nursing barely saved his pre-
cious life. Next ssBetty Root" injured her
spine by jumping from the roost, and for
month has not walked out, and has to be
carried out airing by hand. ssMadame Vic"
says, as plain as hen can, that she will not
lay eggs when they are only Is cts. per dozen,
so crooks her long neck, lifts her big feet as
high as possible, and sets them down upon
every occasion, upon my miguionett and
verbenas, and picks my rosebuds with as
little conjunction of conscience as if they
we're cut worms or catterpillars; while
"Peter the Great" makes himself an object
of dread. by tramping on all the young
chicks that cross his path. Shanghais are
Shaaghdis; but give mo the birds that can
get their own living, and 60 to bed at night,
and get up in the morning without help. To
be serious, think them troublesome fowl,
and hard to raise. but their eggs are very
large, and richer than common eggs, yet
thin shelled, and difficult TO be kept from in
jury.

Presidential Asvir.uts.

In Bnlwer's last novel there Is an cpl.
sode saysthe New York Times elaborated
from hint In one Of Dean Swift's let
tiers, Of man who once having caught
sight ola remarkably fine large FISH, spent
all the rest of his life in unavailable cf-
forts TO hook it. 1t would hardly be worth
having when caught, yet having once put
his eye upon it, and fancied he had
right to it, he could not prevail upon him.
self to rclinquish the tempting prize.
Among fishers for men, theaspirants tethe
presidency resemble the deludcd angler
who wasted his life in attempts to catch a
fish which could afford him but tempo
raEy enjoyment when caught. OF all our
Presidents, only one Of them can be said to
have gained the Office by trying for it, and
even in his case it was tn accident of his
position and not the adroitncss of his man
ngemcst, that crowned his efforts with sue
cess But whrt barren success is it to
be elected President, after all! The posi-
ton is so elevated that it has the effect to
dwarf all who occupy it who are not giants
by nature. 1t is like putting small man on
n lofty pillar--the higher he is raised the
smaller he appears. We will not make
any invidious comparisons; but which of
our Presidents has gained anything in re-
reputation, in public esteem or worldly
prosperity, by filling the Presidential chair
since the time Of JACKSON
The man who goes into the White
House small man will not come out of it
great one His name will be preserved in
the record of the nation, but that will be
all. If the President were elected for
life, or the term longer, or the opportuni-
ties for cnriching himself greater, tho Of
fee would be better worth striving
for. But the term is SO short that the oc-
cupant of the White House hardly becomes
accustomed to his place before he is CON-
PEELED to leavcit; and then, what a change!
From the head Of a mighty people, from
being the dispenser of innumerable offices,
he suddenly steps down into absolute OBJ
security, and finds that while he has been
dispensing wealth, Office, and honors up
on others, he has not been able TO retain
anything for himself. A sadder picture
than President just out ofpower is diff
cult to conceive of. Yet such are the
temptations Of the officc-so infatuated 10
men become who have once had Presi-
Dental nibble, who have seen themselves
in ina .ination sitting in the great dreary
apartments of the White House, that they
arc never perfectly themselves afterwards.
Their life lisa discomfort and an unhap-
piness, as the chances of the realization of
their hopes fade away and become less and
less, until they drop into their graves.
Seeing of what materials our Presidents
are made, by what accidents they have
been elevated to these places, and how the
strong and the swift have failed in the
battle and the race, it is a matter Of aston
ishncnt that any man of ordinary inteli-
gence should allow himself to harbor such
maggot in his brain as the thought of
possibility of his ever becoming President.
