LOd Exchange,
This syren song has been sung for
the past four years, but the debt is
greater than ever, and we will be very
much mistaken (if Gen. Grant keeps
the present doll" tribe in office) if the

A DEAD MAN REvIvEs.-Mr. George
Warren, formerly Of this city, was ia
ken sick at Meadyille, and on Saturday
last, was supposed TO have "breathed
his last" in the presence Of his sister
and other friends. Word was sent to
the relatives here that his body would
be sent on for burial, and preparations
made by them for conducting the "last,
sad rites" The remains we're expec.
ted on Monday and a hearse and car
riagcs were in waiting at the depot,
but on receiving notice that the funer-
al party had missed the train, their
services were postponed until the next
day. On Tuesday the hearse was
again on hand, but instead of the corpse
a dispatch was received stating that
the body showed signs Of life. AT a
later hour another telegram arrived
saying that Mr.. Warren had bid good
bye 20 his coffin, and was sitting up in
bed, happy in the thought Of having
made narrow escape from being
buried alive. His case is a warning
which should not 60 unheeded.-Erie

How 1T WoRKs.-The Superinten
dent of one of the most important
Government works in New England,
writes TO Washington in regard 10 the
working of tho eight hour law, that.
in so far as it was designed to secure
better intellectual! culture of mechan.
les, by giving them opportunity for
it, is humbug. Some of his men
work outside at over hours, and thus
make from 81 to SO per day. beside
what the Government pays them.
Only two or three do anything more
than before in the way OF studying
or reading, while the majority spend
their extra time in useless loaflng, In.
variably acquiring habits that make
them less steady and reliable as work

Gen. Grant Has Made a speech

d
A number of his Republican friends
headed by the "loil" Mayor, called or
him in Washington, on Tuesday, and
offered to get up demonstration
for him. Gen. Grant responded as
follows:
al am glad TO meet you all and to
receive your congratulations, but
hope you will spare me any further
demonstration. l live in this city, and
like to avoid demonstrations here as
elsewhere, and with my consent there
cannot be any. | am always ready
to meet such gentlemen as may cal
at my Office or house at any time
without public display or demorstra-
licn. This would be much more
agreeable to me, and hope it will be
agreeable 10 you.
81 am not unmindful of the feeling
intended to be displayed by public
demonstration, and you must take all
this for granted
After the General had concluded
some persons spoke privately witt
him, said how much they were disap
pointed, and asked him again if ht
would not let them have a procession
and serenade him. He answered then
substantially that he could not, oI
course, prevent them from having {
procession whenever they pleased, bu
he preferred that they should moi
make any display at bis residence
This settled the matter, and the dele
cation retired a good deal crestfallen
The conclusion of this business is very
generally gratifying to all excpet th'
knot ofofiice seekers who were chiefly
concerned in trying to get up the
demonstration.

pun large stump with ease. They use a horse.
but he does his work in taking out the largest
