FOR CONGRESS-:

OF MANITOWCC.
A Greenback with Accompaniment

a 0Tee0DdCk Win CCOupdulmcUtS
The Democrats of Detroit, according to
the Free Press of that city, did very
naughty thing the other day. In front of
one of their rancho" they put up splen.
didly painted greenback, seven feet three
inches in length by three feet one and a
half inches wide, showing the back of the
bill in color and lathe work perfect coun-
terpart, as we'll as the central circle, con-
tanning the following copied from the gen.
uine greenback
This note is a legal tender for debts,
public and private, except duties on i'm
ports and interest on the public debt, and
is receivable in payment of all loans made
to the United States"
Above the greenback, painted on can
vas twenty>soven feet long by one yard
wide, is the following:
when the obligations of the govern.
ment do not clearly state upon their face
that they shall be paid in coin, they ought
to be paid in the lawful money of the
United States.-Dcmocrdtic Platform, jul,
7, 1863
And below the greenback the following
II will vote for 10 such swindle on the
taxpayers of the country, as to pay bloated
bondholders and spectators in coin, that
which is by law, payable in lawful money.
-Thad. .Stercns, July II, 1868"
Take the three together. and they make
a stump speech which is unanswerable, and
that cannot but have telling effect on the
campaign.

We FADE.-We extract the following
beautiful and truthful illustration from on
exchange:
AS the :rials of life thicken, and the
dreams OF other days fade, one by one in
the deep vista of disappointed hope, the
heart grows weary of the struggle, and we
begin TO realize our ins;gni6cance. Those
who have elm bed to the pinnacle OF fame,
or revel in luxury and wealth, 90 to the
grave at last with the poor mendicant who
hegs by the wayside, and like him are soon
forgotten.
Generation after generation, says an
eloquent writer, have felt as We feel, and
their fellows were as active in life as ours
are NV. They passed away as vapor,
while nature wore the same aspect of beau
~ as T-sen her Creator commanded her to
be. And SO shall it be when We are gone.
The heavens will be as bright over our
grave as they are now around our path !;
the world will the same attraction for off
spring yet unborn that she had once for
ourselves, and that she has now for our
children.
"A little while and all this will have hap
pened Days will continue to move on.
and laughter and song will be heard in the
very chamber in which We died and the
eye that mourned for us be dry and gisten
with joy; and even our children will cease
10 think of US, aud will not remember to
lisp our name"

What it Costs to Keep Hotel.

The New York correspondent Of the Gin
cinnati Gazette writes:
Speaking of hotels, do you know how
extensively the accounts of a first -class es-
Enlistment foot up in the course of year?
The bills OF first class hotel for supplies
are enough to support good many small
families, especially if they practise econo-
my. and don't keep dogs and horses and
Saratoga trunks. For example, | will give
you some items from the balance sheet of
the Astor House, the Oldest first class hotel
in the city. The Astor House pays seven.
ty.6ve thousand dollars year fot grocer
les, including $4,000 for -four and $22, 600
for butter. (Who would suppose that its
butter costs nearly three times rs much as
Its Hour but so they tell me. The mar
keting bill is about $3.50 000-they pay one
man from fifty five to sixty thousand dol
lars for beef alone, and the balance of the
one hundred and fifty goes for mutton, veal,
pork, poultry, vegetables, fish, &c. The
MAX and cream for Aston cost $4,000,
about twothirds of it being for milk aud
one-third for cream. Eggs cost about sI2.>
600, the average use being one hundred
dozen daily, or thirty six thousand annual

bill pretty much the same friction matches

year; a good many Of these are not used
in the house, but find their way into the
pockets OF the patrons. Who would think
OF paying for wooden soothpicks when any
body can white one with little trouble -?
A million are used every year in the Aston
House at an expense of something less than
a hundred dollars. Brown tissue paper,
cut to about the size of common note

BE- Nature has been bountiful to the
South this year, and furnished it with the
means of relief from many pressing social
and financial endorsements. The com.
paratively favorable cotton, corn and to-
bacco crops mag not be sufficient to cause
ressrn of the former general prosperity
but they, at least, place all parties in bet
ter position respecting the immediate
present and the future. At present prices
of cotton the South will realize not less
than 5000, 5000 from this staple, and
probably about half as much from tobacco,
corn and other products. It will thus have
solid basis of about $500, 900, 900 upon
which to proceed.

THE HAPPY FAMILY.-It appears that
the members of the carpet>Lag fraternity
do not dwell in scriptural harmony togeth-
er; some of them are in great trouble.
The carpet Dagger SCOTT, bogus Governor
of South Carolina, carpet-bagger SMITH,
bogus Governor of Alabama, carpet Dagger
BULLOCK, bogus Governor Of Georgia, and
carpet Dagger YARMOUTH, bogus Governor
of Louisiana, are all at loggerheads with
their respective carpet-bag Legislatures,
and are threatened with impeachment.
How pleasant it is for brethren to dwell in
harmony together. Let us have peace.

Radical Triumph In Stockbrldge-A

Across the Continent.

The Central Pacific Railroad is already
completed to point within about three
hundred miles of Salt Lake, and pushing
Oh eastward at the rate of sixty miles a
month, so that it is not improbable that
the close Of the year will see the gap be-
tween this portion of the line and its east
ward connection reduced to less than three
hundred miles. There is good reason to
believe that the next Fourth of July will
find the continuous rail laid between New
York and San Francisco. This is remarka-
Bile progress, and outstrips, in point of en-
ergy and resource, any similar work of any
era The difficulties which have been en-
countered in crossing the Rocky Nouns
tarns and Sierra Nevadas, at elevations
never before attained by locomotive, have
been successfully overcome, and the re-
nalnder OF the route will be easy in com
parison. There can no longer be any rea-
sonable doubt OF the speedy completion of
the enterprise.
On the Pacific slope in particular, where
the ascent OF the mountains had to be
made within sight of the ocean, the me-
chanlcal and engineering necessities of the
problem involved the most expe asive and
