HORACE 9RKELEY.-Ine oeaS Aouseo
man at Chicago. and The most soundly
abused man now, il Horace Greeley.
His offence has besn, that, while desiring
the nomination Of . good, honest and c.
pabls man. who was pledged to carry
out Republican principles, he also wanted
that candidate to possess availability.
well knowing that another national defeat
would have disastrous effect upon the
Republican party; and furthermore.
be believed that Mr.. Seward was not such

ability. This is why hsis booted, derided.

ton Of the Republican press. which be-
lieves the Republican party is destined to
q glorious end. and that end the IGNORING
and sgsrandizsment Of William H. Sew
ard. exclusively.
Mr.. Greslsy is charged with tricksry,
trsachery, dishonesty. personal spite. lack
of influence. and all that, merely because
be had his preference among the candi-
dates, as he had . perfect right to, and
because that choice was not Mr.. Seward.
He is oven charged with having defeated
Seward, which, even il true, should be
placed to his credit. The truth is, every
unprecedented person was convinced that
Greeley at Chicago. had the good Of the
country and of the Republican party at
heart. It is true. as has been alleged,
that he frequently makes predictions wide
Of the mark; but it is because he looks
more to straight forward dealing than to
underhanded trickery. What be does,
is from motives Of principle; and if he is
mistaken, it should not be set down
against him Is ground for censure. It
is all nonsense to contend that Greeley
has no influence. He has, and a vast in
fuence at that. which those who set up
the claim to the contrary plainly feel
That influence is being exerted for the
good of the Republican cause. notwith-

enth hour Raymond (but not his psper)
returned to the party as a jealous Seward
champion-for what? Because Stewards

upon Greeley. Was there ever a more

up at 10 cents and sugar at cents and this
paid for in labor at fair prices
Favorable as this calculation is for the farm
er. it will probably be realized next year by
those who procure good seed and do their du-
ty towards the crop.
Another view very favorable to the farmer
is, that it gives employment to those who,
from infancy or old age, could do little else,
and to all including teams, employment at
season of leasure. But its chief value is
to be found neither in the apparent profit per
acre, the remunerative prices of labor, nor
the time when the labor of manufacturing is
demanded; bat in the more important fact
that our State is thereby rendered indepen-
dent of all others for articles of daily consump-
ton and prime necessity, now costing us
nearly 81 100000 per annum, and constantly
increasing tax upon our productive indus

How THE JEwEss FELL IN LOVE WITH THE
SURYEYoR.-Years ago, when Surveyor Hart
of New York was in Paris, a lovely Jewess
became enamored of him, but he did not re-
turn the passion. When he came back to
New York, he still remained the object of her
tender recolIections, which were shown by her
sending him, on the several annual feast days
of her ancient faith, valuable presents-sweet
mementoes which only the delicate taste of
woman knows how to summon up. Every
feast of the passover, as well as every day of
Mosaic mark accordingly there were dispatch
ed to this city, sentimental objects of art and
vertu; and neither distance, time nor the alb
sence of a reciprocity treaty, could abate her
love the least. As she was faithful in life so
was she true in death, for the news arrived
the other day that the poor lady had gone to
the better world, and dying bequeathed to
MIR. Hart an estate. 1t was legally necessary
for him to go abroad to look after it, and ac
cordingy, he sailed on Saturday for Hamburg,
where the estate lies.-Tribuae

The BIRD OF THE ToLLrNG BELL-Among
the highest woods and deepest glens of Brazil
a sound is sometimes heard so singular that
the noise seems quite unnatural it is like the
distant and solemn tolling of church bell
struck at intervals. This extraordinary noise
proceeds from the Arawonda The bird sits
at the top of the highest trees in the deepest
forests, and, though constantly heard in the
most desert places, it is very rarely seen. 1t
is impossible to conceive anything of more
solitary character than the profound silence
almost supernatural sound of this invisible
bird, coming from the air and seeming to fol-
low wherever you go. The Arawonda is
white, with circle of red round its eyes its
size is about that of small pigeon.-Boston

The OLD OAKEN BUCKET.-The following
Renaissance of Samuel Woodwork possesses
sufficient interest, we think, to warrant us in
presenting it to our readers. 1t is a portion of
private letter recently received from one
whose authority in the matter cannot be ques-
toned. In reference to the period Of the pro-
ductiOn Of the cold Oaken Bucket" the wri-
ter says 1T was written in the spring or
summer Of 1917. The family were living at
the time in Duane street. The poet came
home to dinner one very warm day, having
walked from his office, somewhere near the
foot of Wall street. Being much heated with
the exercise, he poured himself out glass of
water-New York pump water-and drank it
at draught, eXclaiming, as he replaced the
tumbler on the table :-"That is very refresh
ing, but how much more refreshing would it
be to take a good long draught, this warm
day, from the old oaken bucket left hanging
in my fathers well, at home p Hearing this,
the poets wife, who was always suggestive
body, said :-'Sem, why wouldn't that be a
pretty subject for a poem 2" The poet took
the hint, and, under the inspiration of the mo-
ment, sat down and poured out from his very
soul those beautiful lines which have immor-
talized the name Of Woodwork" -Home Jonr.

THE ADJUSTMENTS OF MAYoR.-The
Mayor of Cincinnati, initiating the celebrated
Caliph of Bagdad, nightly prowls about the
city disguised in an old slouched hat and a
coat ragged and torn, in order that he might
the more efiectually satisfy himself on the
watchfuness of the police force. In these
rounds the Mayor will frequently give the sig
nal of distress and danger by rapping on the
pavement, and then dart into an alley, so that
he might await the hurried approach of the
officers unseen. These experiments are at
tended with not little danger, for on one oc-
cason his Honor was detected by burly po-
liceman, who was about to rap him over the
head, and in all probability would have done
so had he not disclosed his true character.

CURIOUS SIDE OF PARTISAN LIFE.-One
of the recent trials in Paris has revealed a Gu.
rious feature of life in that city Itswas that
of Mademoiselle Leonie Leveque, who. pos
sessing considerable talent for business. blend
ed the two professions of lille de najre and
usurer, and carried on both with considerable
success. The first pursuit is perfectly leeiti-
mate according to French law, but not so ;gith
regard to usury. To take higher interest
than per cent is a penal offence, and as
Mademoiselle Leveque levied from 80 to $50
per cent, she was prosecuted under that head.
The names ofthe witnesses for the prosecution
are unfortunately not gven-the French law
papers having great delicacy on that score.
Nevertheless, though their name is not given,
their rank is mentioned. Thus we find a
Fscount de $, who borrowed 10 ,000f., for
which he gave a bill at three months date for
22,500f. One Baron X, who describes
himself as a law student, borrowed 3000f.
tS600), for which he gave bill for $1,000. He
said he wanted the money to get married it
appears he was successful, for he is now mar
ried and it is on the refusal of his father-in
law to pay his debts in full that he quareled
with Mademoisee Leveque, and that the Pro-
cureur Imperial got wind of the affair. But
the richest part is to come. Mademoiselle had
partner, iii the shape of an old infantry Of
ticer of the name of st. Cirque, who used to
act as an intermediate agent between certain
of her "clients' and herself The kind of bus
mess will best appear from the following ex-
tract from business letter to his fair aSSociee :
eff you have a diamond ring worth 50Of.,
know young man who wants one to go into
society. He would rent it for 20f month.
Another friend Of mine wants a $500 note,
Just to show off when he opens his card case.
He would rent it for 25f. month" Madem-
oiselle Leveque also dabbed in matrimonial
speculations, and the reading of the list of can
didates for dowry of 100000, created much
laughter in court. Nevertheless the court be-
haved rather severely, and sentenced MAIDEN.
oiselle Leveque to four months Imprisonment
and 4000f fine.
