LOngfellOW.

A Saratoga correspondent of the Boston
Post writes:
Old John Harper is in constant attend
ance on his leviathan, whose big, unhand-
some head always comes in first in the
race. LOngfellOw is not pleasant look
ing horse to the Impractical eye. He is
gaunt and huge and ugly, but as [ saw
him out by groom for a walk prepara-
tory to more energetic exercise, / should
have considered myself unworthy to look
the little old sombre-cl man in the face
had [ been insensible to the power dis
played i'll his movements, the wicked de-
termination of his eye and the vigOr of
his stride The faith which his owner
possesses in this horse is something sub
lime.
as it true Mr. Harper, that you have
refused 500, 900 for Longfellow?' / asked.
"Of course it is" was the significant re-
ply.
Let no one suppose for one moment that
this is a sentimental affection of man for
his faithful servant Old John Harper is
man of business, and the best stroke of
business he ever did in his life was the
raising and training of Longfellow. When
he has received sufficient dividends from
this investment of time and patience we
shall know the price of Longfellow. More
over, John Harper is a man of sense, nOta-
bly, displaying that qualityin his refusal to
run his horse against time. He will back
LOngfellow against any living animal that
may be entered against him, but he utter
ly refuses to put him on the course against
anything so intangible as Lexington's re-
corded time. John Harper is a wise man.

There is an old proverb which says, "expe-
rience is the safest guide To this guide the
sick and ailing naturally turn when casting a.
bout for the means of relief. They inquire
what medicine has done for Others, before
they adopt it themselves. Of all the remedies
and representatives. in use, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters meets the test most triumphantly, and
hence its immense popularity and vast sales.
The sufferer from indigestion is sure to find
some one among his friends who has been cur
ed of that ailment by the famous vegetable
stomachic. The victim of fever and ague, liver
complaint, constipation, nervous prostration,
or general debility, has only to make inquiry
in the neighborhood where he residee in order
to discover what this standard restorative has
effected in cases similar to his own. In the
published testimony to its merits he will find a
volume of proofs of its sanitary properties,
which it is impossible for his common sense to
resist. He tries it, and the effect it produces
on his system adds another to the host of wit
nesses in its favor. Thus its reputation, found
ed on facts, not assertions, continually grows
and spreads. Charatans and imposfers, some
of them mere local tricksters, and others who
take wider range, attempt to thrust into the
hands and down the Threats of invafids their
haphazard connections, as substitute for the
tonic which for so many years has been med
icinal staple throughout the United States,
Spanish America, Canada and the West Indies,
but only succeed to very limited extent. In
this reasoning age, the people, having ascer-
tanned what is really deserving of their conf
dence, decline running after strange gods"

How It IL to be Put Through.

The Washington organ Of Grant says that
it will require not less than ten thousand
regular troops, ju1iciously distributed through
the Southern States, to insure a free and fair
election in those States in 1872; and that it
may be necessary for Congress to increase the
army.
THIS is but one of numerous indications
that Grant intends to force bis reelection by
placing the whole South under bayonet rule
should he receive the Republican nomination.
Such method Of insuring free and fair
election certainly deserves the credit Of origi-
nality. 1t is only equal;ed by the ingenuity
Of the Ethiopian present-,aker who relates
his experience in one of the negro minstrel
halls. "Pompey, whar you get dat watch r
ga man CUB it to me-" "Gub it to you for
muffin p "YeS-but / had to knock him
down free or flu times before he'd Go it," If
Grant runs for President in 1872 he is deter
mined to have free and fair election, even if
it should be necessary to bayouet every man
in the Southern States who opposes him.
What would be deemed free and fair cleo
ton by a man who has used United States
troops and Gatling guns to control the action
of Republican Convention at New Orleans
may easily be imagined.-N. 2. Sun.

The Weather Reports.

OF the reports furnished by the Govern
ment Signal Service, sixty-nine per cent. of
the probabilities have been verified by the
result, and twenty-one per cent. in addition
partially verified. The haste required to get
these reports promptly before the public has
made the percentage of veriicstion less than
it, would have. been with more leisure. Re-
ports taken at all stations at 1885 P. M. are
to Washington, collated, and the
deductions made are furnished the Press at
A. M.
To extend the system of synchronous re-
ports, an observer thoroughly instructed and
equipped was sent with Captain Hall, COM
handing the North Polar Expedition. To
get observations of the higher aerial currents.
q station has been established and maintained
en- the summit of Mount Washington, New
Hampshire. Reports are desired from Penn
bina. Stka and the Sandwich Islands. 1t is
proposed to extend the synchronal system by
seeking the assistance of such ship captains
as are willing to make observations and re-
cord them upon forms furnished by the Signal
Office. An international system of observa-
tons is suggested. Such system is at once
needed, ia order to obtain reports from the
West Indies, the Windward Islands, and the
coast of South America.

Gen. Sherman on Gen. Grants Military
Peace Policy.
A reporter of the New'York Herald reports
some remarks made by General Sherman as
part Of an Interview with that officer just
prior+o his departure for Europe on the frig-
ate Wabash. Being asked about the admin
istration policy'in the South, the General
said:
Il don't car TO speak plainly on these
matters. 51y-fiue Of duty. !
think, however, that when the war was end
ed warefare against our brethren of the South
should have ceased. The negroes are well
disposed and kindly people, but they are
not, as class, posted 10 the science of gov
eminent; they are apt to make mistakes and
behave rashly. But have no doubt what
ever that everything will turn out all right in
the end. The Union men IN the South were
never very 6ne class Of people, and some
down there now would be better out OF it.
but their presence in the late insurrectionary
States affords no proper excuse for acts OF
lawlessness."
"Then, General, you do not approve of the
repressive acts of the Federal government 2"
81 think mistake has been made. They
are not all rascals in the South. The majo-
rity Of the people are the best citizens Of. the
Republic. The young men that followed the
retreating Confederates into Texas. the men
of the army Of Virginia and the lads Of the
West who leaned toward the South were CAPT
tai fellows, though mistaken. These, in my
opinion, should have been appointed to pos:-
ton under the government as Marshals, Post
masters, Internal Revenue Collectors and to
other Federal and State Offices, instead Of be-
ing driven iuto opposition. really believe
that these young men represented the South,

bG Gov Scott confirms the suspicious Of
fraud which have been expressed concerning
the financial affairs Of South Carolina. He
accuses the Treasurer of fraudulent resell

ly converted into other securities. The Treas

there is one certain fact regarding the matter,
which is that the State Treasury is empty.

Grain Elevator at Locust Point.

The Grain Elevator now being erected at
Locust Point by the Baltlmofe and Ohio
Railroad Company is said to be one of the
most extensive Improvements around Balti-
more city. 1t is thus described:
Alongside is deep water, enough for any
vessel that comes to port. The building is
15O feet long by 80 wide, and is 145 feet
high, constructed on 1900 piles or granite
tramway 7 feet 6 inches high. The grain
bins are supported by 26S white oak posts,
n inches square and II feet long. There are
100 bins, each 81 feet high, 9 feet 6 inches
square in the clear. and will hold 5000 BUSH
els each. The engine has power of $50
horse. It will cost 100000. Two barges
are being constructed to be used in carrying
freight across the river designed for the Phi
ladelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Rail-
road, thus obviating the necessity of these
being drawn through Pratt street.

Thanksgiving Day.


Thursday, the 30th instant, has been set
apart, both by State and Federal authority,
"as day Of Thanksgiving and Praise to Al
mighty God" for "the countless blessings &C
bounteously bestowed upon u.s." and its Oh
servance by the people earnestly commended.
The custom Of rendering thanks to the "Su-
prone Giver of all good" is an old usage,
sanctioned and honored Tor generations back,
and one, it must be admitted by all, eminent
y meet and proper. In its conception it en-
bodies the idea of mans dependence upon
Divine Mercy, and in its practical working
aims to give scope and effect to the feelings
of thank fulness aud the deep sense of graft
tude with which the bosom Of every rational
creature should be filed to overlooking, at the
bare contemplation Of the blessings and ben
efits be is permitted to enjoy. In this spirit
should its observance be entered upon, on the
day appointed, by our people. As q people,
We have had, during the year, much to be
thankful for. More than average crops have
rewarded their labors, aud, what is Of far
greater import, good health, peace and con.
tsntment have and are still showering their
blessings upon us. In word, we have much
Dr. which we should render thanks, and let Us
show our appreciation of Divine mercies by
. due and becoming observance Of the day.
Such an observance as each and every one
must feel in his conscience is fitting testi-
monial to the grave solemnities Of the occa-
oiOn. -, -. rs .s
