Speech from Hon. IS. S, Coz.

Hon. S. s. Cox, after long absence in Eu-
rope, was serenaded at his residence in New
York on Thursday night by large COM
pany Of friends. In answer to repeated
calls he addressed the company. After ex-
pressing his gratitude for the welcome, he
touched upon politics and said:
In America we have still the same picture
of whole States most miserably misgover-
ened. States which, four years ago, were
acquiescent in our national authority, which
were ready and anxious to take their old
seats in the national council, are yet dis
franchised.
There are scenes of disquietude and conflict
The spectacle is disgrace to our age, to
the decade, the very year we live in. 1t is
vicious government which does not give
the people contentment. What can be said
of an administration which, after encourag-
ing the people to one course of action with
view to healing all the fresh and bleeding
wounds of civil war, after saying to certain
States, "Accept the situation, accept negro
suffrage, accept this and that amendment,
be ruled by your former slaves, succumb to
black ignorance and irresponsible power,
either or both," and after these States and
communities in despair follow this compul-
sorry advice, then to have the head of the
administration, for party and ambitious
purposes, deliberately turn his back even
on the miserable devices which he had
counseled, to foment other and worse
schemes Of discomfort and anarchy? 1t is
both crime and shame
But this cannot last forever. The party
of the people must and will amend it.
That party is the Democracy. They bear
a banner that has never been furled. Its
notices - free industry, free commerce,
free banking and free currency, shine upon
it with more than usual brilliance, because
of the darkness os its opponents. Let the
Democracy stand by the conservatives of
the South. Let them take counsel of the
tactics and principles by which Virginia
has won, No looking back to dead issues
Wars of violence and institutions of bar
barism are gone. 1t is ours now to grap-
pie and throttle class legislation and mon
opoly, to destroy the despoilers of labor,
to champion again the principles of demo-
cratic expansion-not the expansion of
irredeemable currency or unrequited tax
es, but the expansion of territory and the
establishment anew of local selfgovern-
ment. Let it demand the standard curren-
cy of gold and silver, and the repeal of the
atrocious tariff which shackles commerce
and paralyzes industry,

MARK TWAIN.


eag A curious discovery has just been
made at Pompeii. In house in course of
excavation an oven was found, closed with
an iron door, on opening which batch of
eighty one loaves, put in nearly eighteen
hundred years ago, and now somewhat
overdone, was discovered; and even the
large iron shovel with which they had been
neatly laid in rows. The loaves were but
slightly over-baked by the lava heat, hay
ing been protected by quantity of ashes
covering the door. There is no bakers
mark on the loaves; they are circular,
about nine inches in diameter, rather fiat,
and indented evidently with the bakers
elbow, in the centre into eight segments.
They are now of a deep brown color, and
hard, but very light. In the same shop
were found 561 bronze and So silver coins.
A mill, with great quantity of corn in ex-
cellent preservation, has also been discov-
cred.

A CRow-BAR.-A hired man on a farm
in Baltimore county, Maryland, was detail
ed to watch the corn fields, and not to lei
the black marauders invade the premises
but like. many other men in similar stu
alton, tried method by which 80 much
labor need not to be performed; so he
hit upon the plan of soaking some corn
in whisky and placing it in the field so that
the crows would surely eat it and get drunk,
and then he would have sure thing on
them, and could kill them easily. He tried
to shoot them with shotgun, but crows
can smell powder long way. After soak
ing some corn over night, he put a bounti-
full supply in the field early next morning,
and in about two or three hours he went
to see how things were progressing, and
mark you what follows: One of the crows
little larger than the rest, had gathered
up and taken possession of almost all the
corn, and built himself bar out of clods
Of earth, and was retailing the whisky-soak
ed corn to the other crows, charging them
three grains of sprouted corn for one soak
ed grain. -Chillicothe (Ohio) Gazette.

says:
Clear Lake lies 100 miles north Of San
Francisco, and 500 feet above the sea. The
discharge Of water is 40, OOO. 600 gallons daily
in September, and the average for the year
is probably fifty millions or more. The
,opogra phical character Of the country
between San Francisco and the Lake is such
that the water could be brought down to the
mountains east of Oakland with an elevation
Of at least 200 feet above the sea, and with

Mas. LINCOLN AT FRANKFnKT.-As Mrs
Lincoln's petition for pension is now be-
fore the United States Senate, perhaps you
readers would like to know something OF
her whereabouts. She is at Frankfort with
her son, who is at school. She lives at one
Of the public hotels, in a very plain and I'M
pretending style, occupying a room in the
third story. and having the reputation OF
being very industrious. She is quite eco-
nomical, and, if appearance do not mis- lead
she has no more funds than are necessary TO
make her comfortable. 10 Americans she
speaks very freely of the good President,
and always with tears. Two periods of the
Presidential career of Lincoln she alludes
to with great feeling. The one covers the
last day he spent in Springfield before he
first started for Washington. The other is
connected with the last day of Lincoln's
life. He had presentment that he should
never enter it again. He was tender out
very sad in all his Iarewells to his neighbors.
When he got into his carriage to go to the
station he gave the old homestead, where he
had passed SO many happy hours of his
life, long, fond, lingering look. Turning
to his wife he said: My dear, take good
look at the old house, We shall Fever live
in it agsin-never." He leaned back in the
carriage and was silent till he reached the
station. The day on which Lincoln vas
riiut nc sttihtu very sdu anu worn uOWu
Before he left the breakfast table Mrs. L.
said to him - You need rest, you are ex-
hausted. Promise me that you will ride
With me this afternoon at three o'clock"
and ne promised. Mrs Lincoln said: "Shall
l invite some friends to go with :" He
said d" No let US go alone" He was IN
commonly tender during the whole ride
spoke of their pleasant home in Spring
held, their early struggles, the death Of their
children, the noble men who had died in
battle, and the dear friends they had left be-
hind. He seemed like one on the western
slope and nearing the going down of the
sun, whose joys and the friends of his youth
we're clustering around him. The rest of
the story the world knows BY heart. What
ever may have been thought Of Mrs. Lincoln
during the heat and conflict Of the rebellion,
she has won on this side of the water only
friends by her ladylike and retired conduct.
The best friends OF America here think she
has been treated rather harshly. Military
men are unanimous in the opinion that she
is entitled to pension as much as any SOL |
dier's widow. for by our Constitution the |
President is the head of the Army, and he |
fell in the cause OF his country.-Foreign |

ANEW YORK TRAGEDY.-The Syracuse
Journal of April LIST publishes the following:
This morning our city was thrown into .
fever Of excitement by . thousand rumors OF
= brutal stAbbing case just enacted .lmost
at our thresholds. From amsng the num-
erous versions of the affair, each exceeding
the last in atrociousness, we gather these
acts which are confirmed BY reliable parties
living near the scene Of the inhuman affair.
A man doing business in the Seventh Ward
and of hitherto irreproachable character, .
short time since introduced on the premises
Of himself and wife a young female just
from the country. Although they we're
never seen in conversation, some tender
lines Of the husbands were more than sus-
pected of being in possession Of the new
conner. Affairs not exactly suiting the man,
he had the female conveyed \ short distance
out of town, and there taken care Of at his
expense, he calling occasionally to see her.
This morning the acquaintanceship came to
a terrible and tragical termination. He was
observed to enter a barn with her, and shortly
afterwards, a person having business in the
building, discovered the young female with
her throat cut from ear to ear and her skull
fractured. The perpetrator does not deny
the deed. and even alleges that he can justify
his conduct. Knowing, as we do, that the
well earned reputation of family is at stake
not to be slightly regarded, We suppress his
name for the present. His victim is passed
beyond the arena Of the worlds praise or
sensure, and we may freely communicate
all we know of her. We gather that she
was quite young, of rather a bashful or
cOwardly disposition, and inclined to be Of .
silent or Eliminating turn this despondency
be ing attributable to a relation of hers hav-
ing lately suffered death from the halter.

TIGHT LACING DEFENDED.-The is
perhaps nothing in dress hygiene more
commonly accepted than the assertion
that tight lacins is seriously prejudical
to health. Frightful and apparently
well authenticated examples of its
frequent fatal consequences are adj.
duced, and the young lady or woman OF
wasp. waste ambition is regarded as
about certain to become the victim OF
slow or rapid suicide. If we are to be.
lieve late writer in London Society,
however, tight laciug, so far as being
injurious, is positively beneficial, and
the experience of numbers who have
tried it is given in support of his theory,
not the least interesting among which
are those relating to the male corset
wearers who have found tight lacing a
remedy for excessive corpulence. Some
of our best citizens, who lard the lean
earth a they walk along, and who have
in vain tried Bauting and semi-starva-
ton, should seriously consider the new
method of relief, but until we have
further light on the subject, we would
recommend our lady friends to draw it
as mildly as possible, or better stil II per-
haps, let it severely alone.

called the oSfahonsy!t Circle, departed
this life, leaving in the hands of James
S. Burke, the. Head Centre Of the Circle,
funds to the tamount of s16.9O, as is
claimed. This was to be devoted to the
payment of rent and other debts then
accrued. These debts Burke refused to
pay, and suit was brought before Squire
Clohan on the 10Th OF October to recover
the amount. The suit was continued
from time to time until Monday night,
when itcame to trial. Massrs, Cracraft,
A. Caldwell and Barr appeared for the
prosecution, aud Mr.. Davenport for the
defense. The hearing of the testimony
and'evidence occupied the attention OF

rendered against Burke for Sl15O.
