GRAND FINALE.-The following magnificent
ly grandiloquent peroration was recently made
by "western orator." and we commend it to
the careful study of such of our readers as in.
tend to figure on the political stage. How
sublmely the thought expands as it marches
onward until at last the climax is reached, and
the orator takes his seat amid tumultuous ap-
plause, like the sound Of many waters:
"The time is critical blood's going to be
poured out like soap suds outen wash tub,
and every man that's got soul as big as the
white of nigger's eye Il be ready to fight,
bleed, and die for his country!
"Them's the times, the times you want
men in the councils Of the nation that you can
depend on-thats mel Tn not goin' tc
make lectioneern' speech. I'd scorn the
act You know me; I've been fetched up
among ye; already on the wings of toploftica
imagination, | fancy see you marchin' to the
polls with shout that makes the earth ring
"hurrah for Jim Smith !" comes down on the
opposition like thousand of brick on q rotten
pumpkin"

A dizzy sensation was in my head, faint

A REAL TRAGEpY.-The history of Sweden
records very extraordinary incident, which
took place at the representation ofthe Mystery
of the passion, under King John II, in 1913
The actor who performed the part of Longinus
the soldier who was to pierce the Christ on
the cross in the side, was so transported with
the spirit ofhis action, that he really killed the
man who personated our Lord; who falling
suddenly, and with great violence, overthrew
the actress who represented the holy Mother.
King John, who was present at this spectacle,
was so enraged against Longinus, that he
leaped on the stage and struck off his head
The spectators, who had been delighted with
the too violent actor became nfuriated against
their king, fell upon him in throng and killed
him.

ship once, by means Of 1t, he may be excused
for supposing it the best method that can be
devised for political success. But those who
believe that the disappearance of the Know

hardly hope that any part of my letter will
prove so entertaining. But you must be
aware that selling out " is a convenient
ana very proper term for any political transac-
tlon IN winch one man engages for the benefit
OF himself and at the expense of the people
or the mass OF his party. 1t was properly
enough applied to Fillmore and his retainers

II Your correspondent supposes that he
makes a correct representation when he saws
that there are any persons who accuse Mr..
Banks OF selling himself to Governor Gard
ner, he is very much mistaken. Whatever
bargains Mr. Banks has made, have been
dictated by regard for Mr.. Banks rather
than for the Governor. 1 am not going to
say that considerations of public and party
interest have not also entered entered into his
calculations, but it is the opininion of those
who have known him longest, that these last

motives in order to find reasons why, IN his
present political position, he ought not to re-

have done SO mainly for the purpose of setting
the Tribune and its readers right as to the

Republicans of Massachusetts,. who have been
misrepresented in the recent letters of your

The Maya zine of Horticulture &C., for June,
is at hand, but has escaped our notice till this
time. 1t is good and practical number. The
editor, however, INDUCES in anticipations of the
coming crop of fruit, which, had he wait
ed till this time, before writing, we think he
would have found to be groundless He acknowI-
edges the severity of the winter and its unfavor
able effects in killing fruit trees and DESTROY
ing branches of others, particularly some va
ieties of pear trees. But he concludes his article
bysaying, that, ifno unlocked for weather occurs,
there will be an abundant crop of fruit in this vi
cinity. We presume that this remark was based
upon the abundant bloom of most kind Of fruit
trees, the article having been written in the latter
part of May, just as they were in full bloom. But
it subsequently appears, as we had feared from
the FIRST that, although the bloom was abundant
the severity of the Winter had so affected the vi
tally of the blossom in many varieties that but lit
tie fruit set, and of that little considerable nor
ton was so feeble that it has already fallen. or
gives indications of so doing at no distant day.
Of the trees on our grounds, that blosomed free
ly, we presume that one.half, at least, will not
produce single specimen of fruit, while con-
siderable portion of the remainder will yield but
very sParingly A.te'o varieties of pears do not
show any indications of injury, and will bear a
full crop.
We do not know, from personal observation.
that our remarks are applicable to the vicinity of
Boston, but from the general complaint in this
vicinity and from the personal knowledge we have
of extensive sections of the county, we presume
that that neighbOrhood presents no exception to
the general rule,

difference of opinion among the free State
men as to the policy of putting the State
government in operation, but it was finally
decided to complete the State organization
and keep its machinery in readiness for use
so soon as Kanzas is admitted into the Union,
or the necessities of the people require it. II
was also finally decided to take no part in the
pro'slayery. constitutional convention. The
same question was raised at meeting of a
convention Of the free State Legislature.

however, that il is expedient for the prons1
