ABOUT THE LEAGUE BETWEEN
GREELEY AND SEYMOUR.


The Bainbridge, On. W ReUielg thus
pricks the bubble of the Binghamton Re
pa6iicn which started such terrible tale
of a league between Horace Greely and
Horatio Seymour. The ReUieeU says: The
mysterious Otsego county man is Luke
Carmichael, of Unadilla, and the informa-
ton that the editor of the Republican makes
SO much ado about was obtained rom hasty
glance at the following letter on board of an
Albany and Susquehanna Railroad car.
The charges set forth in the Republican are
based on two letters dated respectively Oct.
/, 1871, and May l, 1872. The letters were
written in response to a communication
from Mr.. Carmichael. The first is from
Horace Greeley, and is dated Oct. 4, 1871:
81 hereby agree with you that Mr.. Chase
ought to have been nominated for Presi-
dent in 1868. Whether elected or not, that
nomination would have done much to heal
the wounds opened by the war. As to
v hat The future may unfold, let us not be
impatient. can't see my own way to the
end of 1872, and, of course, am not quail
fed to advise others.
HORACE GREELEY"
The letter, bearing date May l, 1872,
from Horatio Seymour TO Mr.. Carmichael,
Is very brief, and reads as follows:
Il could not go to, New York. wrote
t. Mr. Hutchins. HoRATIo SEYMOUR"
The letter of Mr.. Seymour to Waldo
HUchins was written at Mr.. CarmichaeFs
reque It. What its contents were, whether
it ever reached MIR. Hutchins, or he re-
spenGed thereto, are questions the Repub-
iicdn guessed at, and out Of the malevoleLt
fancies proceeded to construct a large SEN
sation lie, which it is noisily sticking TO.

C.aEp WITH AN ANACONDA.

During the time that Robinson's circus
was On the line of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad, the Jim Fisk side show-conSist-
ing of wax figures of Fisk, Mansfield, Stokes
and large anaconda started from Leav-
enworth to jointhe circus near st. Louis.
The canvas and ws4 figures were slowed
in baggage car, filling the front end and
leaving only one door for entrance to the
coaches. The bSggageman, being OF an in
uuiring mind, and thinking he would take
a free peep at the show; just to see what
Fisk and Mansfield locked like; opened the
door and stood among the waxen imaces Of
the illustrioUs trio. While he was admirlng
the graceful contour of Mansfeld's bust,
what was his horror to see the monster an
aconda raise his head and begin slowly to
crawl out of the box. The serpent's eyes
were upon him, and bis f0rked toi1gae
moved backward and forward like weav-
er's shuttle. Having heard of the power OF
the anaconda in squeezing its victims to
death in its terrible folds, our trunk smash
er at once realized the danger of his situa-
ton. His mind reverted with lightning ra-
pidity to the events OF his life, and visions
of wrecked Saratogas, frail valises and
fimsy eerpet-bass arose in mountain OF

given his right hand for stout steel plated
trunk to crawl into; but no such thing was
at hand. After protruding about half his hor-
rid length, the snake paused and turned his
eyes in another direction. The baggage
man was not slow in svailing himself OF
this opportunity of making his escape
Quickly, and with the stealth of ferret,
he crawled over piles of boxes, gained the
door, and made good his retreat to the
coach. There he found the showmen, and
on informing them that the snake was en-
deavoring to escape, they went into the
baggage car and secured the reptile. The
bagageman was 30 gratifed at what he re-
garded as a miraculous escape, that he
made a solemn VOW never again to pry in
the boxes of showmen placed under bis
cI arge. When be wants to see snake he
will pay bis money, like other people, and
take his choice.-MiSsOurS Democrat.

PHILoLoGY and gastronomy are nearer
kindred than the careless observer might
suppose. The Chinese place the seat OF the
mind in the abdomen, and we are forever
finding out that the Chinese knew many OF
our wisest things before we ever discovered
them. Then the Greek word which ex-
presses mind-ptrenes- means dtG-
pHrdgn. Let us analyze few of our own
metaphysical words. We express our strong
mental repugnance to anything by the word
disgust. Now disgust is only dis-tdSte;
when one says our tea table talk is crude,
he really expresses the fact that it is 1tnco0E'
ed; even the delicate morsels which mad
anne sets before US under the refined name
of reliSheS are so called from the French re-
lercber-tO lick the Tips. Think OF TINS
delicate Miss Sophonisbs, as you carry that
merry thought of chicken to your dainty
lips! SduOTy and ipSlpid are only tasteful
and tasteless. All this is melancholy
enough, and shows us that the Chinese are
not all wrong. And, by the way, this very
word melancholy, bigh-soundiDg as 1t Is,
only means black bile. Do we say our
housekeeper is flugaI' We only mean
fuit-bedriag, and surely she cannot grow
serious over that. There, that serious
again is no reproof. 1t only means tcsthOn
laughter. We are sincere then in the BELIEF
that philology and gastronomy are at least
cousins in relationship. And that very
word serious proves it, for it only means
ocithout pdT-that is, pure honey. we
might indefinitely prove our dependence en-
sensual meanings fog supersensual words,
but the tea grows cc,.I and we waive fur
TIER examples.
