Upon page 322 of his "Recollectons of a
Busy Life" speaking of Mr. Seward, Horace
Greeley says: ''rhat he once aspired to the
Presidency is a truth but no reproach; still,
one who has but clutched the gittering prize,
yet failed to secure it, always thereafter seems
to have suffered from the aspiration or the
failure, from both. Great, intel
lectually, as Daniel Webster was, he would
have been morally greater and every way
more useful and honored had he sternly re-
sponded, "Get thee behind me, Satanp' to
every suggestion that he might yet attain the
Presidency. hope Mr.. Seward will outlve,
if he has not outlived, his ambition, and will
find leisure and Indictment to write of what
he has seen and known during his all but
half a century of devotion to public affairs.
Doubtless he could clear up all points that
now seem obscure and pulling; and 1 hope
he ,could succeed in shoaoing that eoen when
most denounced and erecrated, he acas, hon.
euer mistaken, faithful in heart and purpose
tojustice, to freedom and the tnalienable
rights ofmaan.''
Could not another have written this of the
present candidate Of the pseudo-D Democracy
for the Presidency with even more truth than
of him to whom it was first applied, chang
ing nothing except to substitute the name of
Greeley for that OF Seward.

Political Notes.

Republican advices from Tennessee are of
the most encouraging character. 1t is said
that five members of Congress are conceded
to the Republicans and they are hopeful OF
electing Mr.. Maynard, in the State at large.
Andy johnson has been doing the Democrats
immense damage.
On account of the general decentralization
ofthe Democrats in Missouri, the Republi-
cans are growing more and more hopeful OF
carrying the State.
Col. Anderson, Republican candidate for
Congress in Georgia has been ordered to
leave town Or he would remain at the peril OF
his life, although taking no part whatever in
the election.
THE DYING DEMOCRAT.
am dying, Horace dying
could not stand the dose
My condition at this moment,
Pale but comatosc
I've swallowed many nostrums
My aching frame to fill,
But you, my hoary Greeley,
Were by far the bitterer pill
Prince Of the rich guano,
King of the cabbage green,
Lord of the Towering turnip,
And Duke of Beets, ween,
Oh! why forsake thy solitude
Mid groves and sunny hollow,
And grow pill political
For Democrats to swallow?
Give me the monstrous boa
Give me the spotted snake;
Give me the striped tiger
That turks within the brake;
Give me the tawny lizard
I'll take them all quite freely
But for our ancient glory's sake
Don't give me Horace Greeley!

extend in a line toward the cold Stone Fort
This passage followed for a short distance of
nearly two hundred feet, when further progress
was stopped by the passage being filed up with
debris. The passage looks as if it had been cut
from the solid rock by the hand OF man, and
gives rise TO the hypothesis that at some time.

aad trayersing over mile inside the cave.
Then they had short search in the tunnel
known as the Dead House." Here were found
many bones, but all in a state of decomposition
and decay. This tunnel or chamber is coated
with soft, loose soil to the depth of a foot or
more, into which one can plunge a stick with
perfect ease, while all the rest of the cave is
solid rock. The soil is supposed to be decayed

lions are proposed and an effort win be made to

those used for hangings. Here, as in the other
uses of a'senicaI colors, they are mixed with
size and spread upon the paper. OF courethey
are easily detached, and particles OF arsenic are
constantly mingled with the dust Of the rooms
hung with these papers Specimens Of this
paper are inserted among the leaves of the board
of health's report. They contain from five TO
thirty grains of arsenic TO the square foot, so
that room Of moderate size might have on IT'S
walls more than half pound of arsenic. Inc
cases of arsenical poisoning from this cause are
innumerable; a considerable number have been
reported in Boston within few years. Ill effects
are not always observed to attend the occupa-
ton of room covered with green wall papers
because some persons have less constitutional
susceptibility to the poison than others; some
rooms are less constantly occupied, and there
may be other causes in operation to in
crease or diminish the pernicious influence
but the instances are numerous enough tc
show that the use of such paper is always dan
gcrous. All green papers are not colored Will
arsenic, but the presence Of the poison is al
ways to be suspected. If the color is specially
brilliant and vivid it's almost certain to be du(
to arsenic. The symptoms Of poisoning by greer
wall paper are substantially the same as thosI
of ordinary chronic arsenical poisoning. Accord
ing to DR.. Draper, they consist OF christ, nau
sea and vomiting, pain in the stomach and
bowels, great prostration, disturbances OF di9es
ton, drowsinesS, headache, nervous trembAngs
and (traceable more directly TO the local action
of the arsenic) sore throat and irritation OF the
mucous membrane ofthc nose and month, show
ing itself in sneezng, a mucous or bloody ms
charge and swelling of the lips. Coincident
with these is the appearance sometimes OF varl-
Gus eruptious on exposed parts of the body, as
the hands and face"
Other uses of arsenical coloring mentioned by
DR.. Draper as more or less frequently productive
of injury are in confectionery, which is believed
TO be very rare, in children'S toys, such as the
boxes of water colors so often procured as play
things for children, and in the brilliant green
paper extensively employed for covering paste
board boxes, for show cards, tickets, lamp
shades, wrappers, and similar uses. Green
paper as a wrapper for packages of confectionery
is especially dangerous and ought never to be
used.
The whole of DR.. Diapers paper is highly in
teresting and quite worthy of the prominent
place given it in the report. In some European
countries the dangers to which he calls atten-
ton are guarded against by stringent police
regulations. Some legislation on the subject
might not be amiss here such as the prohbi-
ton of the use of arsenical papers in connection
with confectionery, or the sale of such papers or
fabrics without notice TO the purchaser of the
fact that they contain arsenic and their use may
be dangerous.
