Greeley, the distinguished journalist
Horace Greeley's acquaintance withthe
names Of wines is hardly more exact than his
knowledge of their natures, and consequent

ticed the error next morning, and Dana, OF
larson, congdpn, and perhaps even Ripley
Snow. Hildreth, and Wilbourgathefed around
him when he came in, and joktd him on his
yinous tautology. Horace listened until he
oomprehendrd with toerable oxaciness the
nature Of his error, when the lines about his
mouth began to curve a little, and there was
a ltile shining in his serious eyes as he said

MIR. Prentice on Keitt.

nexed commentary on the fight in Con
gress:
We see good many comments in the
papers upon the affair in the House OF
Representatives, in which Mr.. Keitt 6gur-
ed. and was figured with SO strikingly.-
Mr.. Keitt certainly had tie floor upon the
occasion, and the floor had him, and the
two were Enthusiastically entitled to each
other. There seems, however, to be some
little dispute as to whether Keitt fell BY
stubbing his toe or was knocked down
by an enemy or pulled down by friend
One statement, apparently true, is that
Keitt disappeared Immediately after ri
sing from the floor. Mr. Grow gained
some eclat in the affair, and Keitt lost
Grow grew, and Keitt kitcd.
Keitt grasped Grow by the throat. He
is not the first individual that has had a
downfall from being too grssping.
