CHAPPAQUA (wich is in the

my taste than I hev ben senee the
halcyO days Nv A. Johnson, who is
now no mo e. hev a room to my
self to wich my meals is sent, / hev
my own private bottle, and the labor
is light, though the responsibility is
heavier than l could wish. / wuz
sent here by the Nashnal Democrat
ic Committee to take charge Nv these
premises, aid to see that our beloved
candidate, the great and good Gree
lev, does not make an ass NV hisself
more frekently than is good for Us.
l arrived yesterday mornin and to-
wunst assoOmed the dOOties Nv the
pOsishen. My first woI K wuz the in
specshun nv the axes on the farm,
witch the great and good HoOris yoOses
OIL his trees. I found them all loo
heavy for sich eOntinyuOus chopin
eZ he hez to do. With them axes his
strength wood give out long afore the
campane is over. 1 ordered a half
dozen lighter ones, and sold the stock
on hand the nabe'iR farmer, the pro-
ceeds Uv wich 1 sjel remit the Nash
nal Committee-ef I don't forget it.
Just after the Cincinnati COnven-
shun it was reported to HoIris that

shOOd alluZ keuch him up tree trim
min branches, and ever senee the old
mal heZ gone out at nine in the
morning. clum tree and st4yed there

wdz a feai ful waste NV time, ez visi-
tors only come four times a dIy. He
wuz terribly exhausted. fixed this
by hevin a small but intellectual boy
perch hisself onto a post in the road
wich leads to the hous, with a signal
flag. When a party headed for the
philosophers house makes lis appear |
anee, the boy waves bis flag, and the |
glest and good Greeley takes off bis
coat and gets up tree, waiting to be
surprised at his yOOsual avocation.
At first he yoosed to git down too
quick to make it look natral, but l |
hev trained him so that he whacks
away with a most bland expression on |
his face, till 1 call twice or three |
times.
L hev, however, some trouble. My |
personal appearance is better socted |
TO the latitude Nv Kentucky than |
Moo York, and 1 hev to wear hat |
without any rim to it, in the SUP, to |
account for the Tedness Nv my nose. !
Then l hev to meet so kinds NV peo-
ple. We hev here the Old Abolish
mist and the old Democrat, wich are
the hardest to manage. Then comes
the modified Democrat, who accepts |
Niger suffrage and sieh, eff he Kin
be ashoored the Post Offs in his na-
five VILLAGE, ahd the modified Repub-
likin who is willin to swaller amnes-
ty. and likwise to doubt whether uni
yersal suffrage wus a good thing alter
all provided lie kin be ashOOred Nv
the collectors Offs wich Grant re-
foozed to give him, and wich is now
held bv a mjnyun and nepOt. In
short we hev all shades here, and It's
a bother to take care NV EN- all L
don't like mulattO babies, because
every one Nv EN- is proof posltlVe
that there's bin adultery somewhere
For the same reason DON'T IKE
eoalishun parties. They amt natral
and every one Nv EN- bears the marx
NV the sin thro wich 1t come into the
world. Ours is mule party, Ell ther
ever wux one, and 1 heartily wish we
wuz ;hro with it.

Our picket guard waved his nag,

went to the house, and commenst I'M

day. The Moo Workers wuz impOr-

the SoutherRers wuZ free traders NV

Greeley Wuz ekal to the emergency.
He did not deny that at various peri

What his views were now on the i'm
