BRIDGET AND CHANG.

From the " Y. Tribune.
The kitchen problem is becoming an immi-
nent peril Whether Mr.. Jones be bull or
BEAR Bridget's tough beefsteaks lie alike like
lead all day on his stomach and brain. 1t is
riding him to death as surely as the relentless
Old Man did Sinbad. He grows gaunt lean,
dyspeptic. Mrs. Jones. who for ten squabbling
years of married life has been cherishing a
dream of gray-haired rctainers and faithful
servitude drawn from English novels, has
wakened to the reality. cries shrily against
the insolent Irish and stohd Dutch, and is
ready to THRUST them out and accept co-Opera-
tive housekeeping, a cooking machine. or a
Chinaman indiferenuy. Her inability to train
and control one maid-servant gives her hopes
of her success in the cases Of men if her
hands were once free: she has no hold on
Biddy because of the great gulf between
them, though their blood ran in the same
channels perhaps a few generations back so
she introduces Chang, as a more accordant
element, into the household with his little
pagan gods hidden in the pantry, and his
home and children in the Antipodes.
There is a fact which Mrs. Jones must face
sooner or later. before comfort can be re-
stored to the distracted kitchen realm of
America and that fact is that the fault lies
primarily III the mistress. and not in the
maid. The ideal servant of English house
most probably, as Bridget's: she was trained
for her work carefully by a houselleeper or
upper servant. Mrs. Jones will not accept
the work of a housekeeper: Po1a' The
alternative is before her Chang brings to
his work higher civilization than that of the
blacl, Aunt Bettys and Chloes, the best cooks
we have ever had in the States; but Viz
ginia matron knew when her biscuit were
light, and took off her diamonds to inspect
her pantries.
But for the insolence of Bridget there is.
we are told, no remedy. Now Bridget is hui
man. She would have been capable of res
pect and servility to the Hon. Miss ST. Leger
at home, or to the ''lady at the great house.
They had the advantages of long generations
of good birth and culture Mrs. Jones for
gets that in this she is not like them. Brid-
get never does. Her American mistress is
only raised above her, she fancies, by the ac-
| cident of money. In few years she OF hel
| children may have like good luck. Yet, we
insist again, Biddy is human. So is Chang.
And when women or men stand face to face
on the bare ground of humanity, there is 9
power in knowledge, good breeding, and @
| kind heart that insures control over every in
! subordinate element. He who fears to meet
the working classes, says Goethe, 'and try
his strength with them, stripped Of all exter
nails of circumstance and position, is a COW
ard. because he is inferior to them. If Mrs
Jones finds the Irishwoman too much for her
she may draw her own conclusions.

from the famous battle on the heights of
Slievenamon down TO the imprisonment of
Costello, Warren. and the brilliant George
Francis Train, he has advocated the indepen-
dence of Ireland.
XI. All the temperance men will vote for
him, because he never drinks ANYTHING that
can intoxicate, and is in favor of having a
prohibitory law upon the statute book
MI. All the opponents of prohibition ought
to vote for him. for he has in substance in
formed the Germans that the prohibitory law
is to remain dead letter, and therefore he
may be regarded as fac-simile of the man
down East, who was in favor OF the Maine
law, but was opposed to its enforcement.
XIII. All the champions of Cuba should
vote for him, for no man in the Union has
advocated the independence of the Gem of
the Antilles with more zeal and ability than
the editor of the TiTbUae.
XIV. All the supporters of Spanish supre-
macy on the American continent ought to
vote for him, for he is the personal and poll
tical friend of the Secretary of State, who
steadily opposes the recognition of Cuban
belligerency, and causes the arrest and inn
prisonment of sons of Cuba on our shores
who want to 90 home and strike a blow for
the deliverance of their native isle
XIV. Finally, everybody ought to vote for
him because this is the first fair chance
Mr. Greeley has ever had for testing his
popularity before the people of this State
As the prospect is that the regular Demo-
cratic ma aiority will be about 80 600, there
fore the only mode for securing his success
is for all the classes we have enumera ted to
give him their votes, and thus make his
election unanimous.
Let it be done! Let us elect Horace
Greeley!

GREELEY'S ACCEPTANCE.

from me ". J. Herald.
The Republican New Yorl, State ticket. as
at last made up, is headed by General Franz
SiSel for Secretary of State, and next in order
by Horace Greeley for Comptroller. With
the self-sacrifcing spirit of Gurtius loaping
INTO the gulf, Greeley accepts He is not hope
tul OF the election, but he will do what he
can for the cause. The State Committee
brought him forward to strengthen the ticket:
but his letter is rather calculated to depress
than to encourage them. He docs not move,
like Grant, upon the enemys works, but hest
tates and pleads his necessity for more troops,
like Mcclellan. But for all this, if he will only
pluck up little courage, we think his name
viii be an advantage to the Republican ticket.
Unquestionably thename of Sigel will strength
en- it among the Germans. Apparently the late
squabbling Fenton and Morgan cliques, and
the Iwenty-secondstreet regulars and Twenty
third street outsiders of this city, have become
reconciled on the basis of an experimental
armistice; but they do not yet pull together
very harmoniOusly. In short, unless Penn
syIvania and Ohio are held unbrolen by
the Republicans the party will hardly
hold their own in New York, notwithstanding
the generous advance to the front Of Sigel
and Greeley.

HYACINTHE.
From the NJ Y. Tribune.

From the n. Y Tribune.
Pere Hyacinthe's flight to this country
seems to indicate his resolve to break finally
with his mother, as he calls her, according
to eternity With the theological question at
issue between them we have nothing to do,
but we cannot but wonder at the short-sight-
edness of the said venerable old parent of so
many turbulent sons, in parting with one so
strong for her support. "a firm faith hath
the keenest of edges, saith the shrewd Sir
Thomas Browne, and that of this man is
weapon which the Roman Church can i'll
spare. Is it old age or alarm that has made
her suddenly abjure her ancient tactics
However harmless she may have been as a
dove, nobody ever denied her before the
wisdom of the serpent. Her power for ages
lay in her..faculty of absorption; she had a
place for every mana glazing cement that
held every talent, creed, individuality, IN one
admirable mosaic No Protestant sects diff
fered more widely in doctrine than the tol-
lowers of Loyola and Jansen, or waged more
bitter. implacable warfare The Spanish,
German, American Catholics of to-day are
held together by slight bonds of old forms
and traditions, which the one worships III
sheer Paganism, but which are to the other
mere outward symbols of vital truths The
''eighty damnable heresies' of Pope Plus are
to Pere Hyacinthe the spirit of 1.-THE nine
teenth century, to which he also has duties
and tendernesses. 1t may be a wise thing
in the Pope to bring all these conflicting ele-
ments of his Church face to face in the Qcu-
| menical Council, though we doubt whether
| the result will be edifying or pleasant. But
why should he now lose one of the men
whom previous papal policy would surely
have retained?

A Young Gill Steals 81, 900 from Her
Father, and Elopes with her Lover
They are Arrested.
From the Toledo Commercial, 10th.
On Monday last, officer Mahon received
dispatch from Laporte, Indiana, request
ing him to take possession of trunk, which
was checked with a certain number, and
to detain the parties claiming it, who, it
was expected, would arrive in this city on
tie evening Of that day. The officer was
GA the alert. although he knew nothing Of
the nature of the case. Nothing was dis
covered that night, but the next day, Tues
day, tie persons and property described
made their appearance.
1t seems that girl about sixteen years of
age, daughter of ry respectable parents,
residing in La Porte, Ind, became at
tacned to a young gent OF that place, but
Eer parents would not permit her to marry
him. On Monday morning last she took
81 900 CT her fathers money, and in COM
papy with her lover left for Toledo They
stopped at some place between this city
aud La Porte Monday night, where the girl
purchased several silk dress patterns and
ether goods for herself, and suit OF
clothes for her suitor. On arriving in this
city, tho truants went to the Oliver House,
where they registered as man and wife,
but the girls uncle and Barney Mahon
soon made their appearance and the two
were taken back to Indiana to be dealt
with as may seem best by the aggrieved
parties.
The two had not been married, and did
not seem to be in any hurry to have the
ceremony performed. During the two
days which they had spent in travelling
to this city, they had managed to get lid

Capture OF a Wonderful Seven.feet Bird
in Lincoln County.


Mr. IS. Peoples, living two and a half
miles tom Stanford, on the Dudderar' y
Mill Road, is surrounded by party OF
neighboring boys, who are fond of the
sport Of night hunting. Over week ago
these boys were engaged in their favorite
pastime, and while absorbed in the excite.
ment of Il fox chase were suddenly startled
by what they called an unearthly scream
from some of the tree tops Some declared
1t was panther, some catanount, and
others believed the voice that Of female
in distress. They agreed to approach as
near the spot whence the screams came as
possible, aDd took up the line OF march
toward the place. At each step the
screams We're repeated to the amazement
Of the boys, and if the truth must
be told there was perceptible
terror in each ones voice, and daylight
would have exhibited very pale faces
Guided still nearer by the strange noise,
they directly heard the ciank OF chains,
iron and padlocks. This was too much for
youthful temerity to endure. They were
brave boys, but .demoniac ye'ls IRON the
tree tops, accompanied by this rattlipg
music OF the devil at the dreary hour Of
midnight, when ghosts, hobgoblins and
blue devils stalk abroad, were fraught with
too much danger to be relished even by
stoughter hearts and stronger nerves. They
retreated like the ''boys in blue" from tho
battle Of Bull Run, in good order, and re-.
ported to the neighborhood the strange and
wonderful sounds which had greeted their
ears. = - :;
Mr.. Peoples laughed at the alarm of the
boys, but was still on the lookout for
strange sights. On last Saturday his cur
iosity was somewhat relieved by seeing q
monster bird, something like the condor Of
Sinbad the sailor, alight on his barn. It
gave few Of the screams which had so
disturbed the boys, and Mr.. p. was satis-
fed he bad found the ghost. He took
down his rife, and without precaution to
put in silver bullet, drew bead Oh the
bird, and it fell. On approaching it he
found that only one wing had been broken,
which he amputat d. Now Genes the

ExhumatiOn in Ohio Of the Remains Of
Megatherinm.

From the Columbus State journal, Dec 6.
There is now on exhibition at the rooms
of the State Board Of Agriculture, orHead-
quarters Of the Geological Corps, section
Of the femur or thigh bone Of an animal of
the Mastodon species, the fossilized re-
mains of which were recently discovered
in Union County. These remains were
found in drift formation about three feet
below the surface, and are similar to the
other parts of the State. Arrangements
were made by Mr.. Klippart, of the Geolo.
gical Corps, to have the ekeleton or the
parts thereof removed with care. Before
excavations bad proceeded far bad
weather set in, and work has been
abandoned. The section of tue femur,
upper part with socket bali, is about twen-
ty inches in length, of about half the length
of the thigh bone. This would make the
aggregate length of the bones of the leg
about ten feet. The ball is twenty two in
ches in circumference, and the bone lower
down Of course much larger. From the
part of the skeleton secured, it is estimated
that the height of the animal was twelve
and half feet, and the length twenty feet
and the skeleton entire much larger than
the specimen now in the British Museum.
AS this particular species, or remains there
of, have been found only in Ohio, this
specimen has been named the Megataeriune
OAioensis. The animals lived, it is sup
posed, in the period Immediately preced-
ing the human period, and were after the
elephant type.
Exhuming Operations will be resumed
in the Spring. and if the skeleton is remov-
ed in good shape or q good state of preser-
vation, it will be set up in the Echo Room
at the Capitol, where the fossils collected
by the Geological Corps are now being ar
ranged and stored.
