Mr., Holmes resignation and the why
aud the wherefore. -
Horace Greely has on several occa-
sions lately bit Grant some pretty
severe slaps, which leads the Grant
conspirstors and manipulators to believe
that Horace is much demoralized, and
he rs not a unit for Grants renomina-
tion, and in order to calm the troubled
spirit Of the philosopher, they awarded
to the Photolithographic company of
New York, of which Horace is president
aud large stockholder, the contract for
furnishing the plans aud drawings of
the annual patent Office report, for the
sum Of slS0,00O, only 100000 more
than Laugran & Ogilvie, we'll known
and reliable firm here, offered to do it
for, but whose bid was rejected, that the
company of which Horace, the .philoso-
pher, is president may flourish. If the
Tribune does not now fall into liue and
shout for Grant, then Grant may and
will lose all faith in human nature, for
there is no appreciation or gratitude in
the author of "What 1 know about
farming" Some scribe who does not
know. the difference between beet and
an egg plant says, "tbat the country will
not recover in twenty years the evil
which has been done by Greeley's book,
"What know about farming!" This is
mere jealousy OF Greeley's immense
knowledge Of taters and turnips.

A FIGHTING PARsoN.-The Harris
burg, Pa, papers tell story of Rev. J.
c. Gregg, well known in that city. He
used to preach in little church known
as the "Gray House," which stands not
far from Lancaster, and lies half in
Pennsylvania and one half in Maryland.
Recently party of ungodly young men
came to the church and disturbed the
meeting. Parson Gregg paused moment
in the delivery of his sermon, and rolling
up his sleeves, uttered himself as follows
"Young men! If there's another disor-
derby sound from among your disreputable
crowd I'll come down from this sacred
desk, and in the name of the Lord put a
head on every mothers son of you. Get
down on your knees, you hounds, and pray
for better manners, or else levant."
Saying which, he proceeded with his
sermon, most edifying discourse. In a
moment the noise began again. An audi
BILE swear of the first magnitude filled the
room with It's bad odor, and caused the
worshippers to shrink within themselves
with horror.
Parson Gregg came down from the pull
pit in state of quiet rage. He took off
his coat and hung it over the chancel rail,
and then went for those wicked young
men, only one of whom he succeeded in
overnauling within the portals of the church
Him he basted satisfactorily. Following
close upon the trail of the others, he came
up with the most outrageous heather of
them all, one Jim Page Bedloe, whom he
tackled without word of grace Parson
Gregg gave Bedloe most clerical and ca
nonical wallopping. When he had finish.
ed pounding him with fists he resorted to
his heels. Jim went home wiser and sorer
than when be came.
The parson then returned to his pulpit
and finished his sermon.

ANECDoTE.--The following anecdote
is told of Caleb Gushing and Miss Hannah
Gould, both residents of Newbury port,
and ADDICTED to little pleasantries on each
other. The following "epitaph" on Mr..
Gushing was written by Miss Gould, of
whom Mr.. G. had requested it:
Lay aside, all ye deal,
For in the next bed
Reposes the body of Cushing;
He has crowded his way
Through the world, they all say,
And even though dead will be pushing.
To which Mr.. Gushing neatly reioined
as follows:
Here lies one whose wit,
Without wounding, could hit,
And green be the turf that's above her:
Having sent every beau
To the regions below,
She has gone down herself for lover.

ART BY MAcHINERY.-Among the
most curious and strange inventions Of
this inventive age is q machine for sculp.
turing and carving by the means Of an
automatic machine. The inventor is DR..
Virgil W. Blanchard of Bridport. He
has exhibited to us bust of Daniel Web
ster, in which are brought out all the
strong lineaments of his head and face
with great exactness, carved out of wood,
and this too by machinery. The machine
is constructed for the purpose of carving
busts from blocks of marble, giving exact
counterparts of the casts furnished. This
one cut from wood was an experiment,
but exhibits what the machine can per-
form. This certainly is marvel in it's
operation. The machine is built and on
exhibition at Mansfield g. Stinsons shop.
When fully complete and in operation it
will be worth visit, to see what perfec.
ton machinery is being brought by the
inventive genius of the age.
