bat for money. getting. We make
the following extract from his re
marks:
Amusement is the prcrogativc
and duty Of busy man. In
counting men, idlcrs are not to be
reckoned; they have no business
with amusement: but it is the duty
of every sober and earnest man to
to have amusement; in proportion
as he is busy, he is bound 10 have
proportional amusement. Those
who mako pleasure the business
of life, are nothing but honey
seekers, and they seek in vain. By
amusement l mean tho whole AR,
oil extracting pleasure from life,
and not the few sources oil pleas.
ure which are the generally re.
cognized methods Of enjoyment :
Tho clements of happiness range
through u long scale, they stretch
up through the taste, to reason,
and to the highest moral sentiment
Any, course by which we exercise
our faculties for the sake Of being
happy is amusement. Tho pro.
priety and necessity OF amusement
is obvious, because o certain de.
gree of happiness is as necessary
TO tho well,working of the mind
and body as food is. 1t serves q
practical purpose in promoting the
health and )engthening the lives
of men. The absence Of pleasure
results in physical disability; isy.
iulness is both food and medicine.
The general rule stands good, that
happiness is the product Of amuse.
ment, and amusement as the pro.
ducer OF happiness is indispensa
BILE TO q sound bodily condition.
AS general rulea man must be
happyif he is healthy. The phys.
ical frame is created with this
need in il; the appetite for food is
not moro normal than tho appe

body depends partly on stimula.
ton; not on physical stimulants
such as opium, tobacco, and alco.
hol, but upon amusements which
stimulate and strengthen the
mind. If tho labor in any com
munity is severe, and the remu.
neration for it does not excite
hope; and ifthe customs ofthat so.
ciety allow no amusements which
are accessible TO all, you may be
sure the curse Of animal stimulants
will bc resorted to to produce the
needed excitement. In a commu.
nifty where the education is low,
unless there be public amusement,
you will find that narcotic stimu.
lants will be employed, If they
have rational social amusements
these act largely instead of the
gross excitement. 1t can almost
be said OF the nations Of Europe
that those which dance tho most
drink the least. Where pleasure
is popular, vulgar dissipation is

TO the President:
DEAR SIa--Appreciating the
high honor conferred by your nom
ination, and the unanimous con.
firmation by tho Senate Of myself
to tho Office Of Secrstary OF the
Treasury, / regret that circum-
stances beyond our control compel
me 70 decline Could the difficult,
ties presented by the provisions OF
the act Of 1889, which in organizing
the Department OF tho Treasury,
prohibit the Secretary from being
directly or Indirectly concerned or
interested in carrying on tho bus.
inoes Of trade or commerce, be
overcome by any reasonable sac.
rifiee, personal TO myself, 1 would
willingly make it. | would
promptly transfer to the hands OF
gentlemen, in whom the public
have fall confidence, every interest
in the gains and profits that could
possibly accrue 10 myself in the
business of my house, during my.
official term, to be applied to such
public charities as their Judgment
should dictate; and have propos
cd and sought, 10y the execution OF
al propriate instruments 10 accom-
p'ish that end; but serious differ
ences of opinion have been ex-
pressed as To whether that course
would satisfy the requirements Of
the law. Although will not hes.
itate TO make this appropriation,
provided it would enable me 10
accept the Office, and thus unite
my efforts with your own and 9th
er members of your Cabinet in re
storing economy and strict frugal
ity in the administration OF the
Government. and lift, as rapidly
as practicable, from the people
the great burdens of taxation,
debt and extravaganza rest
ing upon them; yet the business

tion with others largely interest
ed in their continuance, and, as
such, they can not be severed gum.

rassment and loss TO those with

finally renewing the decinalion
which was rendered at the outset

you, Mr.. President, my thanks for
The honor done me in offering me |
this high position, and assure you

Progress backward.


1t does uotsepak very well for
tho agricultural progress of Ohio
that $1,000 600 bushels of wheat
were raised in 1850, and only l3,.
600, 600 bu. in 1857, in this State.
The corn crop W as nearly as
great in 1850 as it was in 1867 =
1t was 63 100000 bushels in 1867,
against 100000 bushels in 1860
Our butter and cheese produced
was not rs much by 100000
pounds in 1867 as in 1860. We
had nearly 100000 less cattle in
tho State in 1868 than in 1861
Our buckwheat crop was less than
in 1858. The potato crop was but
two thirds as great in 1867 as in
1860. There were four hundred
thousand bushels less raised in
1868 than in 1861. The rye crop
was also less With these facts
there need be no wonder why the
prices OF all kinds OF provisions
arc so high compared TO what
they were fow years ago. The
amount of production has fallen
off immensely in this, one Of the
greatest agricultural States in tho
Union, while its population has
largely increased. With SO much
lnrger population i, is rather sin
gulur that wo cannot raise. near
as much to eat as we used to-
There has not been much differ
ence in the character of the sea-
sons.

The New York Election
Frauds.

The N. York Tribunetbus sums
up the statements of The report Of
the committee Of Congress which
Investigated the Tammany election
frauds: q
/. Thousands Gfaliens fraudu-
Iently procured certificates of nat
uralization during u few weeks
Immediately preceding our eIcc
tion.
2 Many hundreds Of ofceriificates
were granted in the names Of ticti
tious persons. that those holding
them might have flciIities for yo
ting many times
3 Many hundreds holding
these certificates did thus vot,
many times, ranging from twice
up 10 forty times or more.
1. The frauds committed 10
counting the ballots were nearly
equal to those in casting them.
S There was a combination Of
Officers, Judicial and otherwise, 10
protect those committing these
frauds, and no one has been pun
ished for thera.
6 The Democratic Electors for
President and the candidates on the
Democratic State ticket, were
elected only by:thc aid Of fraud
.ulent voting.
Look again at some Of the facts
developed in tho examinationsof
witnesses on these points: In the
Superior Court, in q single day,
and mainly BY the solitary ex
ertions Of the indefatigablt Judge.
McCunn, there were issued 2,l09
naturalization certificates. In the
Supreme Court in a single day,
toward the close of this hea cd
Democratic term, Judge Barnard
issued 955 naturalization certiG-
Gates. Prom the Sth to the 23rd
Of October that remarkablog Judge
issued daily acreage Oils. The
blanks printed for this Court
which had never issued naturali-
zation papers beforehand for
Judge McCunn's Court were on
scalO that looked TO their issue
only by tcns Of thousands. The
fees were paid by tickets on
Tammany, printed with equal
splendid profusion. Both courts
are proved to have knowingly and
deliberately issued papers to men
who never appeared in court at
all. They were sent broadcast
over the city and distributed
throughout tho State. Not less
than G9,343 Of them werc,, issued
from the two conrts held By Judge
Barnard and Judge McCunn =.
Not one fraudulent paper has
been traced to any Republican
court.

When mingled with the soughingwlnd

From one street to another;

"But what'syour mothers name and what
