AN OLD SONG.
=" Garfieide is the man you see"

~'~.'
When, two years ago, the gleo club
threw away their exquisite notes on the
doggerel Of which the above line il re.
frain, we could not help regretting the
waste Of so much real talent 10 such bad
cause. We remember distinctly the GENT
al countenances Of the trio as they joined
in the chorus Of that precious bit of paro.
dy, aud Of the hearty earnestuess with
which the then Chief Clerk of the Indian
Department led of bis score Of followers in
rounds Of applause. Gar6elde was made
the victor 10 that campaign, not by his
speeches or presence, not because of his
personal popularity, but by the new ele-
ments thrown into the campaign 10 tho
shape Of pretty girls in uniform, of bands
Of hired claquers who were present at
every meeting and got up the enth usiasm,
and by the songs of tho glee club, the
speeches Of Gov. Solomon, and last but by
no means least, the adroit historical record
manufactured by Elwood Evans.
The campaign, as conducted by the juuta
composed Of Ferry, p. D. Moore and
Beach, would have resulted in the cleo.
ton of Judge Mix aud the success of the
Democracy in the legislative aud local off,
ces. These others came to the rescue and
we were beaten.
We congratulate the Democracy on the
fact that the management Of the Garfielde
party has been assumed by the same old
clique-weakened somewhat by the addi.
ton of General" Mckinney to its couu-
sels-and that in their excessive pride aud
egotism they have driven from their sup
port the very men who, two years ago.
rescued them from ignominious defeat
With only Garfelde's clique against US,
SUGGEST is doubly assured to the Democratic
cause.

And let your war.cry be, [day,

Hints for the Housewife.

AppZe lSnow.-Pare and core twelve
apples, steam until tender, set the ap-
plies aside to cool, then pour over them
a whip made of the whites of three
eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Serve with
sugar and cream favored with extract
vanilla.
Hyacinths all Winter.-The hyacinth
is one of the most beautiful and fragrant
of the bulbous flowers, and par tcularly
desirable for house culture. Even half
a-dozen grown in pots and Towering
during the winter, will afford more
pleasure to the "loved ones at home''
than the same amount of money spent
in any other way. With how much
pleasurable anxiety they watch the
shooting forth of the bright leaves, the
rising of the stately column; while the
opening of the first bud makes a joyful
Thanksgiving of the most dreary win.
ter's day. A very small pot will answer
for the hyacinth. Some prefer to plant
three or four in a large pot, and this
will make a very pretty ornament.
Cover only the lower half of the bulbs
with soil, press them down until they
are nearly covered, then water until the
soil is moistened thoroughly, and set
the pots in a cool, dark cellar. The
roots will there form, with but little
growth of top. Here they may remain
for several weeks, and pot or two at a
time can be taken into warm, light
room, for Towering, week or ten days
apart, and succession of flowers OBJ
tanned during most of the winter.

The Post Card System-HOw 1t is
Abused i'm England.
From the New York Time.

from the New YORK Times.
Every rose has its thorn, and it seems
that fresh terror has been added to
social existence in England by novelty
intended only to promote convenience
and economy. The ordinary postage
on letter for transit anywhere within
the British Islands is penny. But
even this was thought by worthy
successors of Rowland Hill to be too
much. Hence an ingenious moditica-
ton has lately been introduced, and a
bit of light pasteboard, about the size
of an ordinary playing card, may now
be sent for a half-penny. The advan-
tages Of this are numerous. The saving
of expense is Of course first among the
number to most people, but there is
also saving in time and trouble, and
with missives not calling for absolute
privacy this applies to both senders and
showed on the advent of this innovation
that a real demand had been supplied,
and postcards to an almost fabulous
extent now pass daily through the Eng
lish post office.
Many uses for the postcard are OBJ
vious. Simple acknowledgment Of re
ceipts of letters or othe, articles, various
forms of invitation, announcement, or
request can manifeStly be transmitted
by such means as we'll a by any Other
On the other hand, missives of love or
war, or of delicate negotiation in gen
eral, had clearly better be dispatched
in the old-fashioned way. The anOny-
nous letter hes always been held to be
one of the most cowardly weapons of
assault ever used among civilized be
ings; but with such letters the sting was
limited in its application. The receiver
might suffer, but he had the option of
suffering alone. A bit of paper is easily
put in the fire, and however deep the
stab that may have been inflicted, there
is no need to show the wound. The
post card, however, enables concealed
scoundrels to deprive their victims even
OF this discretion. Gross insolence or
contemptuous epithets can now by this
means be leveled at foes by all who
have the cowardice to strike in such a
way, with little danger of punishment.
Delicate secrets. tit-bits of scandal and
poignant insinuations, may likewise
thus be put in circulation with facility
not to be attained by the common
anonymous epistle, and character be
playfully smirched at pleasure by the
trifling outlay of halfpenny. We
regret to observe that many such in
stances have lately occurred in London,
so many as to constitute grave objec-
ton to the postcard system altogether.

LOwry's Cat-A Good Story of the
Rocky Mountain MOuser.

Jim Stewart, sometimes called the
Commodore" is the most noted dar
key in Erie. He is good natured
shrewd sort of fellow, somewhat ad
dicted to doing business now and ther
on the Jeremy Diddler style, as the fol
lowing incident will testify: Living
near the residence of the Hon. Morrow
c. Lowry, he was frequently employed
by the latter to do odd jobs around the
house and in the garden. One day Mrs
Lowry concluded that the peccadilloes
of worthless tom cat, long an attache
of the family, were such as demanded
the intliction of capital punishment
and jim. was called upon to play the
part of executioner. After a long chase
the victim was captured and put in a
basket, over which an old shawl was
securely fastened. The next move was
how to dispose of the prisoner. Mrs.
L. suggested drowning, but Jim, with
tears in his eyes, protested that he
could no more drown that cat than he
could drown hisself;" that were he to
do so his conscience would trouble him
so much that he was sure he could
never sleep wink thereafter. Not
wishing to ruin Jim's peace of mind,
Mrs. L. compromised the matter by
to dispose of it in any way he pleased,
so that she should never see it again.
Putting the dollar in his pocket and the
basNet on his arm, Jim started down
town. He had not got out of sight of
the house when he met Morrow, walk
leisurely toward his home, and the fol-
lowing colloquy ensued:
Morrow-Hello, Jim, what have you
got there?
Jim-One OBJ de celebrated Rocky
Mountain cats, sab.
Morrow-A Rocky Mountain cat
Why, Jim, where did you get him, and
what are you going to do with him ?
JIM golly, sab Didn't you heah

Bes' mousers in de wurl, sab, and dis is

Morrow (recollecting the general
cussedness" of the family cat)-Jim,
guess I'll take this fellow; but don't
| you tIllilk lOuF uOlldfS Is Steep lOf IL cav
Jim-Why, all de res sol for five dol
lars, sab.
This decided Morrow, SO he paid Jim
the price asked, and told him to carry
the g Rocky Mountain cat" up to Mrs.
Lowry. jim, however, had very I'M
portant business elsewhere, and begged
Morrow to take the basket himself,
which the latter consented to do. Ar
irving at home, he took his prize into
the sitting groom, carefully closed the
doors, slightly lifting the basket cover
ing, and, smiling beneyolently at Mrs.
LIS apparent astonishment, said:
my DEAR I've brought you a Rocky
Mountain cat, the best mouser"-
At this moment the cat jumped out
of the basket and commenced rubbing
himself against his masters legs. Nor
row stopped short, while his wife broke
in impatlently:
La me, Morrow! Why, that's the
same old cat gave Jim Stewart a dol
lar to drown, not more than ten minutes
ago.
A few minutes later the Hon. Nor
row B. Lowry might have been seen or
the streets of Erie, armed with walk
ing stick, and wondering "why mar
can never find that niger when he
wants to see him badly"
