AFTER THE ELECTION.
LETTER FROM PILGRIM.

piIgrimin his meanderings fewdays aiterthe
late election dropped into village store-no
matter where. The store was kept by q MY
Policy man who also has the Post Office.
Feeling ike stranger in a strange land,
Pilgrim seated himselfin a corner, and watch
ed the comers and goers. Conservative Da-
pis- Johnson democrats could be distinguished
by their woe begone countenauces. It was a
sad sight-the last lingering hope had ozpi-
red; they looked like mouracrs returning
from a funeral Their voices were so hoarse
and husky that they could not even chirp
their favorite thread bare song -''Aiggeg ,
NiGGER ! NIGGEE l' with the beautiful
chorus" Excluded States and Rump Con-
gress - The scene was aorja1. but they
deserved their fate, ard Pilgrim could not
weep. The discounted dupes of My Poll
cy inquired with accents scarcely audible
''w.h-at Is the election n-e-w-s?" and re
ceived prompt responses as follows '.Penn-
sylyania has gone Republican ~ "Geary is
elected T. ''CIymer is at tha foot OF the lad
der r. ''Filler has killed himself! His Sc
cret pledge did not bring the answer !''
Poor Meyers has gone up he is a gentle
man bnt was on the wrong side ''0hio
endorses the Congressional policy p ''Indi-
ana is Union all over ~ 'Iowa has done the
clever thing The people have spoken to
Andy in tones Of thunder IT. &c, &c. The
disconsolate cre5t-falIen Negro-shriekers
skunk quietly away, thinking probably that in
theiy case at Isaa too much of good thing
,ras not good :" The Republicans whom
Pilgrim regards as the TRUE Union men, were
a noble intellectual looking set of fellows
the-better class of society the very cream
of the community their couutenances beam
ed with delight, theirs was the calm, peaceful
triumph of a righteous cause. A man with q
countenance indicative of anxiety and self
reproach made his appearance. He was
called soldier and dressed like soldier,
yet his was not the manly bearing and firm
step Of true soldier. He looked from one
to another, bat finding no expression of sym
pathy or approval, he turned upon his heel
and silently retired. Pilgrim inquired the
cause of his strange conduct, and learned
that he had sacrificed his manhood by yield
ing to tyranical usurpation he had failed to
do his duty on election day. Poor cowardly
creature-he sold his birth-right for a mess
Of potage. He deserved not to have a eoun.
try. The painful recital caused Pilgrim to
sigh over the weakness and imperfeetions of
poor fallen humanity. His soul was fred
with glow of pure patriotism, and he vowed
10 the gods that he would stand by his flag.
be true to his country, and never shrink from
duty in the hour Of danger.

THE BEAUTIES or BERLIN.

The King Of Prussia, on the occasion Of
his triumphal entry into Berlin, at the head
OF his victorious army, found in his path a
galaxy OF charming young ladies, the elite of
the beauty Of the city. One Of these pre-
sented to the King wreath Of laurel, tied
with broad white satin ribbon, trimmed
with gold, which his Majesty CALAMITY at
tached to his person aud wore through the
succeeding part of the pageant,
4 correspondent mentions that when 1t
was first proposed to appoint a deputation
OF the young ladies' Of Berlin, ii found gen
eral favor at once. On former occasions Of
a similar nature the ladies had been elected
either for their rank or else the social stan
ding of their fathers, aud had not been espe-
cially conspicuous for their beauty. 1t was,
therefore, re olyed by the committee of
management to select the deputation entirely
for their beauty But now an unforeseen
trouble arose, and that was to find a man
bold enough to undertake to play the part
of Paris, and decide the conflicting claims of
each young lady This difficulty was obyia-
ted by selecting a committee OF three, It be-
ing suggested that any one member, when
repToached by a rejected fair ono, could
maintain that he had been outvoted. IL was
at first proposed to appoint twenty FIVE
young ladies', but such an outcly was raised,
that the number was increased TO fifty, and
these had to be chosen by the unfortunate
committee out of, it is said, 100 applicants,
who sent letters and photographs in show
ers.

It is more certain than the doctor-it saves
time in sending for the doctor-it is cheaper than
the doctor, and should never be dispensed with.
I'm lifting the kettle from the fire. 1t tipped

NATURALIZATION. The democrats in the
city Of New York are sparing no pains to
keep up the majority there, so as to counter
balance the republican vote Of the State.
Naturalization is an important agent, and
men are turned out American citizens with
astounding rapidity Dozens are brought
up by a single man, who swears wholesale
to all necessary statements, including the
character Of the applicant The number of
these new made voters, this year, is estima-
ted as high as $4,000, and copperheads talk
of amajority of from forty-fve to fifty
thousand In the city.

PETROLEUM AND IFS PROSPECTS.

The heyday Of speculation in petroleum
and in petroleum stocks is over. There is

those who have been really interested in
good oil wells have gone on steadily, with
wise measures OF industry, and have ayailed
themselves ofeyery advantage which nature
permitted 1t may surprise many who, ID
other pursuits, have lost all sight Of petro-
leUm affairs, that as far as production Is
concerned there has never been such a sue
cesstul period as nOw. There are more pro
duclng wells than ever, and although the
monsters which sp0utgd forth their thousand
and twelve hundred barrels in a day have
ceased to flow with any such pToiusion, yet
the steady yield Of flowing and pumping
wells Is greatly upon the increase. This
can be shown by the export statements,
which prove that since the firsG-day Of Jan,
uary last, lOrty-two millions Of gallons Of
petroleum have been exported from the
principal ports Of the United States;
whereas, in the same period in 1868 but if-
teen millions three hundred thousand gall
DDS went forward. This shows an iucrea8-
ing foreign demand, and also an enlarged
home production. We must also rccolIcct
that an immense quantity Of this product
has been lost by the disastrous fires which
have taken place in Pennsylvania; the dam
age beng quite sufficient to have an uu-
doubted influenceupon the trade. Commcr-
cial statistics show that the naubcr Of YES
