about for a passage this delusion was
expelled. We went to the Office of
the steamship Co. and were told that
we could not obtain q passage until
the third steamer should sail, about
six weeks. We computed that each
steamer would carry at least one thou
sand, and thereupon concluded that
there were others going out besides
ourself and so we began to look for
another means of getting along
After some days spent in fruitless
search our labors were rewarded by
engaging a passage to San Juan in a
brigantine that would sail as soon as
her berths were all taken. We went
on board and took up our quarters
with non discript, red haired, freckled

our travels, and we shall therefore give
Tom a chapter all to himself.

Letter from the Hon. Josiah Quincy
to Mr.. Lincoln.

We have the pleasure of laying be-
fore our readers in this sheet letter
addressed TO Mr. Lincoln by the vener-
able Josiah Quincy, who, already in
the tenth decade of the ycdrs of his
life, preserves the clearness of pcrcep-
ton and the vigor, promptness and
soundness of Judgment which belong
ed to his best days. Ne,e York Post.
This Josiah Quincy, who writes to
the President, as one who entertains
similar political views, is almost the
sole survivor Of that class Of men III
New England who favored the Hart
ford Convention and the withdrawal of
the Eastern Statestrom the Union, and
their alliahce With Great Britain in the
War of 1872 and II. Quincy was in
Congress during that era, and voted al
ways against supplies of men and mon
ey To carry on the war against for
eign rowcr. He was against the ac-
QUESTION OF Louisiana III 1904, and de-
clarcd that ii was Il sufficient ground
TO dissolve the Union. In 1870 he was
one of the men who raised the agita-
ton of the Missouri question to point
that threatened the rupture OF the con-
tederacy. He denounced Thomas JEFF
ferson, James Madison, and other DEM
ocratic leaders of that time, Ill vller
language Of abuse than the Abolition
leaders now employ toward Mr. Vallau-
digham. He was the bitter and i'm
piacable enemy Of Andrew Jackson,
and of all the Democratic Presidents
that succeeded him. He opposed the
Mexican War, was opposed 10 supplies

eve know of no great revolution
which might not have been prevented
by compromise early and graciously
made. Firmness is great virtue in
public affairs, but it has its proper
sphere. Conspiracics and insurrec-
tions, in which small minoritics are
engaged, the outbreakings of popular
violence unconnectcd with any extcn-
sive project or any durable principle,
are best repressed by vigor and dccs-
ion. To shrink from them, is to make
them formidable. But no wise rtiier
will conio,nld the pervading faint with
the slight local irritation. No wise
ruler will treat the deeply seated dis
contents of great party as he treats
the conduct OF mob which destroys
mills and power-looms. The neglect
of this distinction has been fatal even
to governments strong in the power of
the sword. In al moye-
ments of the human mind which tend
to great revolutions, there is crisis
at which moderate concessions may
amend, conciliate and pieserve.--Moe-
auley.

AN APT ILLUSTRATION. The Hon.
Jeremiah s. Black, in late speech in
Philadelphia, said-"The people of
Holland live in country where the
land is several feet below the level of
the sea. They protect themselves
against constant inundation by large
earth-work, which they call dyke, ex-
tending all along the coast. What
they are most troubled with is large
species of rat, which burrows under
and makes holes through their dyke
Now, a rat hole is not very alarming
thing i'll itself; but the action of the
water makes it larger every moment.
If it be neglected for single night,
10y the time the morning dawns the rat
hole has widened into huge crcrosse,
the ocean goes pouring through it, and
the whole land is laid under water
So it is with the Constitution, which is
our dyke. If the smallest breach is
once made in it, "the cyer-toiling wave
of arbitrary power" which is continu-
ally surging upagainst It, will constant
ly enlarge it, until all protection for
our rights is washed away, | tell you,
gentlemen, if you desire to save one
remnant of. your liberties, YOU must
watch the rat holes in your Constitu-
ton"

\ Horse FoND OF MIsCHIFF.-A
gentlenan some years ago, speaking
OF the habits of animals, gave the fol-
lowing curious account
"There is, he said, "a very fine
horse in the possession of Sir Henry
Meux X Co., the eminent brewers,
which is used as dray horse, but is
so tractable that he is left sometimes
without any restraint to walk about
they ard, and return to the stable, ac-
cording to his fancy. In the yard
there are also a few pigs of peculiar
breed, fed on grains and corn, and to
these pigs the horse has evidently an
insuperable objection, which is illus
trated by the following fact. There
is deep trough III the yard, holding
water for the horses, where this horse
goes alone with his mouth full of corn,
which he saves from his supply
When he reaches the trough, he lets
the corn fall near it OH the ground,
and when the young swine approach
to eat it, (for the old ones keep iiloof J
he suddenly scizes one of them 10y the
tail, pops him into the trough ,>an,i
then capers about the yard, seemingly
delighted with the holic. The nose
of the pig soon brings the men to his
assistance. who know from experience
what is the maDer, while the horse
INDUCES in all sorts of antics, by way
of showing his ;slee, and then returns
quietly to his stable.-ERyi'sa paper.

The Invalid Corps.

In strange times strange events go
on as common things. Who would
have believed that in this country,
with all the traditions il has inherited
ofthc danger of standing armies, eleven
regiments could be added to the regu-
lar army by the dash of Secretary's s
pen? Yet so il was done in Mr. Cam
eron's time, care being taken that the
officers appointed should be such that
Congressman would be satisfied TO con-
firm by statute the Secretary's creation
of these regiments. I.atterly we OBJ
serve still more notable instance, in
which sixteen new regiments are add
ed TO our permanent forces without n
scrap of law, officers appointed and
paid, quarters provided, all not only
without authority of law, but also
without any pretense of public neces-
sity to warrant proceeding SO re-
markable. We refer to the formation
of the Invalid Corps. So called. which
appears to have been born in the War
Department, and to have started out
full grown without previous CESSATION.
A list of sixteen Colonels and l.ieuten-
ant Colonels is recently announced for
these regiments, The forces which
they embody had for some time ex-
listed in the form of company organi-
cations.
The First Napoleon, founder Of
military empire, cherished his invalid
corps. A splendid structure called a
hospital was constructed ut Paris, the
gilded dome of which is conspicuous
object as one approaches the city.
The "cannon of the invalides," accus-
toned to thunder forth its welcome to
an heir TO the throne, and TO announce
to the Parisiaus a victory claimed or
won by France, has lent perman-
ent phrase to French history. In this
country, however, we are in need of
no srso:..i e--""vr. 81 nIv vn occasions
of victorious rejoicing. Cur people
know how TO spontaneously welcome
victory without any hint from the On
valides;" and as to celebrating the
birth OF an - hear to the throne" we
have not come to that yet.
The invalid corps is said to be made
up of officers and men who are strong
enough for garrison duty, but not ro-
bust enough for field duty. 1t will
cost, on the basis of the expense of
the army before the war, sixteen mill
ions per annum, perhaps twenty mill
ions. 1t is intended as permanent
thing; it can be of no use or force i'll
crushing the rebellion of no future
use, except as possible "Janizaries" or
Pretorian guards" has been set on
foot without the slightest warrant of
law, and the only hope of its getting
legal existence is, thatthe patronage
connected withit may induce Congress-
men enough to vote to legalize what
has been already done, aud to cstab-
lisl it permanently. Its future, there
fore, depends upon the Congressman,
and whether, if it has utility, they can
be made tJ zee it. If not, the invalid
corps becoiiies mn invalid corpse

New Orleans.

The Mississippi river, long before
reaching New Orleans, drops from the
grand old bluffs that marke its north
ern shores into broad flat lands, that
recede in an unbroken level TO the
boundary of the horizon. Huge
marshes overgrown with reeds and
tall grass, and intersperced with wide
lagoons of stagnant water, do not give
the traveller an exceedingly high cs-
innate of the salubrity of the climate.
In the midst Of this scenery stands
New Orleans, and to any Northern
man acquainted only in the manners
and customs of northern life, the city
is not more attractive than the country.
There is not homeliae looking hotel
or familiar looking place in the city.
All is foreign, all strange. If you
drop into a restaurant and order a
beefsteak or mutton chop under the
delusion that you will once again taste
a dish of well seasoned food, you will
leave the premises "a sadder and a
wiser man" Onions, Garlic and Sum-
mer Savory are the chief condiments
known to the ehcf de cuisine. In hotels,
restaurants and private houses, the
same odor prevails. You smell it in
the streets, you breathe it in the places
of amusement, you eat it in your soup
and on your meats, until you see Wis
ions and dream dreams of Goblin On
ions and Fairy Carries. 1t gets into
your hair, crawls through your clothes
and Sits down into your boots until
the whole five senses are obsorbed in
onion juice unless you are French
man, and then you take to it Ike q
young duck to water The fact is the
city is not American but is French and
Spanish to the extent of strangencss.
The hotels are no less remarkable
than the people. There are two or
three large, well kept hotels, but the
chief accommodations offered TO the
traveller are in the shape Of small
taverns or boarding houses, supplied
with dirty and foreign servants, poor
food and plenty of garlic. They very
much resemble the Deutschc Coffee
Houses that find feeble representation
in our city. Getting away from the
neighborhood of these hotels and
away from the river and business parts
of the city, and you find beautiful but
narrow streets, magnificent residences,
luxuricnt shrubbcry, elegant and well
kept grounds. But the enterprise and
hustle that everywhere characterizes
the northern city is supplanted by the
lazy Incidence of the slave. All along
the levee swarms with innumerable
negroes, driving immense mules OF
lazily dragging themselves through
the days toll, that seems never any
nearer being accomplished. On the
whole, we did not become perfectly
enchanted with the city, save as a vast
assemblagc of negroes, mules and
onions.
Hitherto our journey had been soil
tary and lonely, and we began to think
that the great tide of emigration to
California did not flow through New
Orleans but rs wo began to look
