SPEECH OF GEN. FRANK P. BLAIR.
In responding to his nomination for
United State Senator by the Democrats
of the Missouri Legislature, General
Blair said:
81 shall endeavor to carry out, as
far as have the ability, the principles
proclaimed for me by the friends who
placed me in nomination. l am a
Democrat, and I am also Liberal.
Upon tie platform which was an
nounccd in our recent eletion, and which
gave back to Missouri her liberty and
her free lom, upon that platform l
stand with all men who will stand with
me. 1 hope and believe that new
and brilliant career is now open for our
State; that we will wisely leave not in
our hearts the spirit of retaliation for
the wrongs that we have suffered IN
this State, because we have higher
and nobler mission. We have to do
with greater objects than graphing with
things that are gone and cannot be rem.
edied. It is our duty, and highest
and noblest, to go forward to aid our
fellow-citizens in the Southern States to
the liberties which we have achieved.
And T know no. better way to ac-
complish that than to call to our side
the noble and generous allies who aid
ed US in our recent struggle. We have
another duty before US. 1t is the duty
to strike down those monstrous mo-
nopolies with which the millionaires in
the East have sapped the life blood of
the people Of the West. In this duty
We need these same allies, and with
out them We cannot succeed; with them
we will achieve. results equally glo-
rious as those which We achieved In our
late contest in November.

THE LAND VS.. The SEA.-The Bos

The LAND VS.. THE SEA.-The Bos-
ton Advertiser says: England is grad
ually approaching America. If the
process which has been going for many
hundreds of years continues unchecked
for as many thousands, the inhabitants
of the State of Labrador, may look
across the gradually narrowing waste
of waters in the year of our Lord ll,s7l,
and see the west coast of England so
near that the Atlantic will be reduced
to strait. 1t is well known fact that
the sea is encroaching slowly upon the
east coast Of England, and that on the
west the land is gaining on the sea =
The latest startling reminder Of this is
a laudslip at Whitby, q town on the
sea to the north of Scarboro'. The
people living under what is known as
the East Cliff late one night in Decem'
Der last were aroused from their slum.
bers by the cracking of the walls and
ceilings, which told them that their real
estate was about to be "conveyed' in
manner unsatisfactory to the owners.
The alarm spread, aud by moonlight
the people prepared to remove their
goods. The mass of earth moved stead
ily but slowly, and by the next night
it had como to rest, large part of
the village and the whole of the village
graveyard had been pushed out to sea,
where the waves were tearing to pieces
the frail houses and preparing their
forces for a new attack on the cliff
Fortunately the motion of the caving
earth was so slow that there was no loss
of life, but the destruction of property
was great, 1t is eighty-three years
since q similar slip occurred near Whit
BY, but elsewhere on the coast the pro-
gress of the sea has been greater and
not less perceptible because unmarked
by extensive caving like that which
has Just taken place. On old York
shire, maps are still to be seen on the
present coast line, the names of dozen
places "lost in the sea-" and authentic
record exists chat Hornsea, now coast
town, was once ten miles inland. A
similarly hostile movement of the ocean
is destroying, with irresistible attacks,
a portion of the coast of our own be-
loved New Jersey.

The REGENTS torn at Chicago was al.
most unparalleled for severity, isolatlns
the place for several days from the East.
Appearing first in the Nevada Noun
tains, it struck Chicago on Friday the
18th, and and did no cease until Satur-
day night. Though not more than
TWENTY-FIVE inches Of snow fell, it was
pied up in fearful drifts in every dircc-
tion. A storm of sleet which accom>
panied, or alternated with the snow, ad-
hcrcd to the telegraph wires, loading
them down till they snapped III pieces.

Dom Piatt and John Bull. :

Don't Piatt who can't go anywhere
without meeting with rare adventures,
tells the following in his last letter to
the Commercial.
Led by curiosity, I made part of the
great crowd assembled to hear the fa.
nous German tragedian do Lady Mac
beth.
In adding lady friend to my party
I gave up my reserved seat, thinking l
could secure one at the door without
difficulty. This proved impossible.
Every seat was secured, and even
standing soon disposed Of. I, however,
after seating my party, wandered
down, and dropped into chair near o
group of distinguished Congressional
shanghais. In few moments John
Bull of senteel exterior, but of stimu.
lated interior by an unusual allowance
of our native drink, approached, and
after fumbing in his pocket to no pur.
pose, took seat near me. In few
minutes party, under the direction Of
the usher, demanded his chair. He
refused positively to vacate, asserting
that he had paid for his chair.
well, sir, you have the number,
then?
why, no; you see that blasted bit Of
paper is gone-cawn't find, you know
but recollect very we'll
!Well, sir, this lady is entitled to
the seat, and if you don't vacate l
must call the police
And so the usher left, and John
Bull sat with lady sancing before
him. Feeling sorry for the ine-
briated Bull, 1 said to him that he
had better give the lady her seat, as
he would unquetionably be elected.
Effected, blast it; I shall appeal to
Mr.. Thornton. 1 don't care. you know,
as it's lady, I invite her to take my
seat-'Merican custom, ehf
And so in the most elaborate style
he invited the female to sit down which
she did very rapidly. Bull took an
other chair, and soon was put through
the same process. He appealed to me,
threatened Mr.. Thornton, and again
vacated. This continued until ! saw
him travel along the row and end by
standing in a corner where he could
neither see or hear. In this uncomfort-
able position he stared and nodded
through the performance. At the end,
and while l was struggling to get to
my party, having occupied a seat all
the evening to which was not entitled,
I felt my arm seized, and looking around
was encountered by inebriated Bull.
'Am under obligations, he said, 'for
your gentlemanly ferance. 1 couldn't
find number, you know-got it now
look, will ye, how I've been treated
And sure enough he pulled out the
end of the check, with the number of
his chair. upon it, and to my intense
remorse and amusement, found that
i had been occupying the poor fellows
place. l did not enlighten him, but
on the contrary, assured himit was
teursed' shame. And so It was.

A SKUNK SroRY.-The following is
good because it is true. Jas. H
ixy young gentleman of tho town Of
H in a neighboring county, went
out into the country to spend the even.
ing at plain old farmers, who, by the
way, had a very pretty daughter.
James, who had used a good deal Of
musk in perfuming, was having q de,
lightful time, and was confident that
he had made an impression, until he
wont to the supper table.
The old gentleman, who knew no
more about musks, eau de cologne, &C.,
than a .Cbiuaman does about Chris
tianity, at once detected the smell OF
something, unaccountablo to him.
After sitting little while and curling
up his nose few times, he turned to
a young man living with the family
and said: "John, I'll be drat if them
dogs Aain't killed another polcat-
don't YOU smell it" James wilted.

take the ground coffee, one tablespoon

with cold water first, and set on the
back of your, stove; let it simmer half
an hour; stir the grounds down when
they rise, and use good cream.

MUTILATED CURRENoY.-The Post.
master of Hillsboro', N. c., was recent
" sued in the United States Court by
a person who had presented a two, dol.
lar bill, United States currency, con-
siderably mutilated, in payment for
stamps. The Postmaster refused to
take the bill, and the citizen sued him
for two dollars damages. The court
gave judgment against the Postmaster
for damages and costs, amounting to
about ninety dollars. 1t was proved
that the Postofficc Department had is-
sued orders that Postmastcrs should re-
ceivo mutilated currency for postage
when offered; the court besides held
that all departments of the Government
were bound to sustain the currency of
the Government, and the fact of bill
being moro or less mutilated were no
justification for its being refused by
any official Of any department of the
Government.

LIBERTY IN EUROPE AND THIS COUNTRY.
Right Rev. Bishop Bayley, of Newark,
N. j., lectured in st. Joseph's Church, New
York, on the evening of the 10Th ult. We
give the concluding sentences:
There can be no two things more differ
emit than what is called liberty in Europe
and what is understood by the word in this
country, and he believed that in no nation
was true liberty understood and enjoyed
except in America. On the continent of
Europe liberty meant freedom from all re-
straint and the right to commit all crimes
against society and morality. Liberty,
progress and revolution were only words
used for robbery and plumber. The lee
turer then referred to Garibaldi, the MASTER
spirit of this organized band of robbers.
The "great and good man." as he had been
called, had acknowledged himself that he
had commenced life as pirate on sea, and
he (the speaker) believed that he continued
since to be pirate on land. The London
Times very truly said some time ago that
he had only one idea, and that was dia-
bolical hatred of priests. Some people
may say and believe that the Italian Gov
summation of which will justify all the
treachery and tyranny, force and fraud,
which it has exercised. But people should
be very cautious and conservative in their
opinions in this respect. It would be
carrying the doctrine Of the ends justifying
the means too far, and, further, these ends
appeared to him to be neither good nor
desirable. His lordship closed by express
ing his firm conviction that the Pope will
again be ruling in Rome before many
years.

THE IRISH IN AMERICA. - The Irish
Times contains a long and ably written let
ter, from the pen of the Rev. John Boylan,
of Crosserlough, in which the result of the
writer's experience during his recent tour
in the United States is admirably set forth.
The following passage conveys moral
which may we'll be laid to heart by our
countrymen:
I often said-what now repeat-let no
one go to America that can live comfort
have to go, let him be a teetotaller. Every
day in that country paints wildly before
you the horror, the ruin, the degradation
caused by sensual indulgence, and also the
happiness enjoyed by those who shun the
poisoned CUP. In the eyes of the American
people nothing so much elevates an Irish
man as strict teetotalism. 1t actually
makes him a different man. From being
volatile and impulsive, he becomes temper
ate and calculating; from being despised
and down-trodden, erect and dignified in
conscious virtue and independence; from
being softened and weakened down by
drink, with the pores open for the keen,
searching atmosphere of America to find
its way to his lungs flor remember that in
some parts of America winter and summer
are often felt in all their intensity in the
same day, according as the wind changes),
he becomes sound and healthy, drinking
the pure crystal draught W lich nature
gives to prince and peasant-always hav-
ing some money in hand to send home to
his dear friends in the old land. 1 assert
that never saw a sober Irishman forget
home. 1 met Jews, Germans, Swedes, men
from every cline, / may say, under heaven,
and, to do them justice, they don't seem to
know much, or think much, about the land
that gave them birth as a rule they have
only one idea, that is to try all latitudes
and longitudes in quest OF money and
what the world calls prosperous fate
but the sober Irishman, whether he be the
Woodworking laborer, the honest trades
man or the rich merchant, never forgets
homes never forgets that sacred spot, the
centre of all his affections and his care.
met Irishmen in New York, Philadelphia
and other cities, holding the first places in
social Importance and political power, and
they told me that, in all their wealth and
grandeur, they cannot suppress the silent
tear whenever they remember the old land.
