Babies.

courses as follows on a familiar and hu.
morous subject;
There are great number of babies in
the world. Most of them are, however,
kept ont of sight in cradles, hen-coops,
attics and cid clothes baskets, A man
once told me that the reason of this was
because. if they were allowed to crawl
about the streets or parks, no one could
stir ont for fear of walking on them or
tripping over then, in either of which
cases the people 81 doing would be prose
cuted by our friend Lalhbury. 1t was
once proposed by a very clever lrisMnan
to try all the babies found at large by the
treason felony act; but, as all British sub
iects are entitled to be tried 10y a jury of
their peers, and as babies can never be
depended on to keep their oaths, the idea
had to be abandoned Babies are all
nearly the same size. When they are
very small they are called infants, and fed
on butter and brown sugar and turpcn-
tine. Sometimes the turpentine rises to
their head, and they behave in the most
outrageous manner ! once saw an infant
who had drank too much turpcntine, sit.
ting on pillow on the ground and yelling
with all its might at a most respectable
looking old lady, who was the infants
grand-aunt and had Il lot of money in the
funds. Whenever the grand aunt pointed
her finger at the infant It yelled louder
than ever, and tried to bite the finger
The grand aunt left the house, and settled
all her money on an institution for elder
~ unmarried women The education Of bn-
bics is generally in very backward state;
indeed, they do not appear to know much
,F five EuUiigI lpngr,,4tr, i.pyt,f,H I - words
papa, 'mama," me, " Ego" "by'
Their attempts al French are even worse;
they are continually using such low
French as 'ajou," day day, bahia and
"by-by.'
Babies DO not differ much in temper,
size, and disposition. They are violent,
about the size Of pillow, and coyetous.
] once saw "A baby with a corkscreW,
pair Of longs u hand bell, and u broken
hcarth,brush, and nothing could induce
il to part from any Of them, although it
had got the COrksCrcw half way into its
ear and the handle OF the hearth-hrush
altogether down lis throat. When you
come near q baby it stretches out It's hand
and clutches hold Of your necktic, This
is, the mother tells you, a mark OF high
favor and a sign that the baby desires 10
kiss you When you stoop forward TO
kiss the creature it sclzes you by the halr,
and everyone but you laughs and says
what precious baby it is When you
sit down YOU are asked TO hold the baby.
You take it in your arms and place IT on
your knee. Immediately it catches hold
Of your collar and tries 10 stand mp on
your best trowsers with It's dirty boots.
II you don't allow it. the mother says:

GENERAL PRYOR INTERvlEwED.-Some re-
porter has been interviewing General Pryor
We give an extract: ,.@'.
Reporter: Are there any influences at
work to prevent the Baltimore Convention
from accepting Mr.. Greeley's nomination?
General Pryor: The old leaders--the mere
Bourbons of the Democratic party-are at
work very industriously to accomplish that
object.
Reporter: Can you name any of them?
General Pryor: can name one.
Reporter: Who is hep
General Pryor: Mr.. August Belmont. He
is opposed to Greeley because all his Del
mont's) interests are with the Administration.
Belmont represents the syndicate. He has
large dealings with the Treasury Depart
mcnt hence he will not go against Grant,
but will do his best to aid him by advocating
the nomination of "A straight ticket.
Reporter: Do you think he will succeed
General Pryor: / do not. / feel assured
that not only the southern, but nearly all the
delegates to the Baltimore Convention, will
go for Greeley. Mr.. Belmont has not m
impulse nor q conviction in sympathy with
the Democratic party.

LOYAL REGRETs.--SUMNER's recent broad
side poured into General GRANT has occ:l-
stoned much lamcntation at the unfortunate
alienation between the two worthless. A
prominent United States senator, friendly to
GRANT, pronounced the making SUMNER his
enemy most unnecessary and unfortunate
event. A prominent Republican paper de-
clarcs that sit had been better for President
"GRANT if he had not quarreled with SUMNER.
alt had been infinitely wiser if he had chosen
"another man foran enemy" Very true. He
would have been wiser to have kept BUTLER
his enemy, and SUMNER his friend. But it
has gone too far. lie must submit to the in
jury he sustains on one hand by the friend
ship of the man whom the world pronounces
Il thief, and to the modification and damage
inflicted upon the other by the enraged en-
thusiast of Massachusetts,. 1t Is too late TO
attempt to shuttle off BUTLER, and SUMNER
has gone too far off ever to be conciliated'
The plight of the "good man," as the Wing
calls him, is pitiable.

Ma. PENDLEToN--TRE CINCINNATI TICKET.
N0Wand then it seems worth while to track
down one out of the scores of reckless falsi.
ficafions wherewlth the opposition press
teens. Of late the game has been to quote
every prominent Democratic statesman who
had been supposed friendly to the Cincinnati
ticket as Indignantly repudiating it, and de-
handing straight Democratic nominations Ut
Baltimore. The latest to suffer from this sort
of Misrepresentation is George Fl. Pendleton,
who was said in the Philadelphia Aqe dis
patches to have pronounced the Cincinnati
ticket only capable of throwing the election
into the House, and to have declared with
out reserve in favor of keeping up the old
fight and nominating straight ticket of their
own. This seemed worth iuquiring into.
Here is the response from the gentleman
who managed Dir. Pendleton's presidential
fight in the Tammany Convention of 1868.

ternoon is that the dispatch from Reading to

SENATOR THuRMAN.-A short time since the
New York World stated that Senator Thur
man was utterly opposed to Greeley's en-
dorsemcnt, and that as there was no other
State where his nomination at Cincinnati
reused such disgust and scorn, his endorse
ment at Baltimore would certainly insure
Ohio for Grant. To this the Ohio Statesman
replies:
"With two-thirds of the voters of the
Democratic party in this State eager for the
endorsement Of the CINCINNATI ticket by the
Baltimore Convention, and three-fourtlis of
the other third pledged to give it a hearty
support if so endorsed, and three-fourths of
the newspapers and prominent men out
spoken in its favor, while the remainder are
non-committal, we are at loss to see just
where much repugnance, disgust, and scorn
is to come from in Ohio That Senator Thur
man faVors the support of Greeley and Brown
by the Democratic party is fact so well
known that the formal contradiction of the
4Forld's statement is unnecessary"
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1872-06-04

PENNsYLvANIA.-Thc Philadelphia Press
very reasonably heads the proceedings of
the Pennsylvania Democratic Convention
with these words:
"a Tacit Endorsement of Greeley by the
Democracy of Pcnnsylyania-A Sad Day
Tor the Straight-Outs."
Very true. There was an endorsement of
the Cincinnati ticket which may be styled
tacit, but one that was all the stronger for
being tacit. 1t was sufficiently strong to
blast the hopes Of tho Straight-Outs."
With New York and Pennsylvania for GREE
LEY, what can the "Strlights " do?
