MEMPHIS, TENN: FRIDAY EVENING. JUNE7. 1872

ever, he became ambitious of political
distinction. When Grant was nomi-
mated for the Presidency, A. L. Stewart
advanced $4,000 towards an electioneer-
ing fund. Helmbold, who had the folly
to believe in Seymour's chances, deter
mined to outdo Stewart, and consequent
ly advanced $4,000 to his party. Forty
thousand dollars is a large sum of
money. 1t has generally been con-
sidered capital sufficient for many
kinds of business. That any man
should deliberately throw such a
sum away can only be explained by the
desire to outrival Stewart. Helmbold, it
is true, expected to make money rapidly,
but pride was continually in the way Of
enduring success. Having outbid Stew
art in the political fund, he determined
to distance the Belmonts and Commo-
dore Vanderbilt in equestrian style, and
hence his equipage at Long Branch was
the grandest ever seeA there with the
single exception Of that displayed by
Jim Fisk There was an incessant ri
valry between this brace of fools; but in
the long run Fisk come out ahead, which
might have been expected from his un-
bridled ambition and vast resources.
Helmbold changed his team every day
in the week, but still Fisk excelled him.
They have both reaped the reward of
their folly, the one lying in dishonored
grave, while the other is wanderer in a
foreign land,

An Eye % the Future.
From the Erie Observer

from lne Grle QoseINtIsl
Schofeld, the Congressman from this
district, is somewhat noted for his soft
soaping qualities, He has an extra
ordinay faculty Of rubbing his acquaint-
ances down and making palaver over
them. Some time ago, after he had re-
turned from a visit to the Congressional
"refreshmeRt ROOM" he met the we'll
known Judge Black, of this State, who,
besides being the greatest man, is one
of the plainest speaking men in Amer
lea. The following scene is reported to
have occurred Boz or
SchofeId-Ah, Judge, glad to see
you; how we'll you are looking; you
look younger than you did fifteen years
ago. SSH so aur-
Judge Black-A fine day, Mr.. Scho-
field
Schofeld-It's pity, Judge, that a
man of your splendid mind should not
be in the public service; you are too
great man to remain in the minority
The Judge responded with ashrug and
a grunt.
Schofeld Judge, you had better
come over to us; we would handsomely
buy you.
Judge-I have thought sometimes
about it, Mr.. Sehofeld, but there is one
obstacle in the way.
Schofeld (eagerly)-Ah, Judge, what
can that bs2 Is it a serious one2 Can't
something be done to remove it2 You
are too great
Judge (impatiently)-Yes, sir, a seri-

mazzini,s Philosophy.

Life is a. mission. Every other dcfni-
ton of life is false, and leads all who
accept it astray Religion, science, phi
losopy, though still at variance upon
many points, all agree in this, that every
existence is an aim. Were it not So of
what avail were the movement, the Pro-
gress, which all are beginning to recog-
nize as the law of life. And that aim is
one: to develop and bring into action all
the faculties which constitute and lie
dormant in human nature-Humanity-
and cause them harmoniously to COM
bine toward the discovery and applica-
ton of that law. But individuals, ac-
cording to the time and space in which
we live, have various secondary aims,
all under the direction of and governed
by the one supreme and permanent aim;
and all tending to the constant and fur
ther development and association of the
collective faculties and forces. For one
man, this secondary ain may be to aid
in the moral and intellectual improve
ment Of the few Immediately around
him. for another, gifted with superior
faculties, or placed in more favorable
circumstances, the secondary aim is to
promote the formation Of Nationality;
to reform the social condition of peo-
Pile; to solve political or religious ques-
ton. Our own Dante understood this,
when, more than FIVE hundred centuries
ago, he spoke of the great Sea of Being
upon which all existences were led by
power divine toward different ports.
Mankind is young both in knowledge
and power, and a tremendous uncertain
ty still hangs over the determination of
the special aims to which we are bound
to devote ourselves.-Joseph Mazzini.

The Romance of London.
n Harner,s Maearino for Jnno.l

From harper 3 Mdgdhlnc ioI JuHcsI
A late newspaper says The old
house in which Nell Gwynne lived in the
city of London has been converted into
an infrmary. In st. Giles Church, 7"
says Leigh Hunt, lie Chapman, the
earliest and best translator of Homer,
and Andrew MARVEL, the wit and patriot,
whose poverty Charles the Second could
not Lribe." Fleet street" says
Blanchard Jerrold, in the same strain,
"holds crowd Of delightful associa-
tons. 1t is not the Queens highway it
Is that of johnson and Goldsmith, and
all their goodly fellowship. The genius
of Lord Bacon hsunts Gray's Inn; that
of Seldom, the Inner Temple; Voltaire
appears in Maiden Lane, Covent Gar
den; Congreve, in Surrey street, Strand /;
John OF Gaunt, in Hatton Gardeni and
all the wits of Queen Anne's time in
Russell street, by Drury Lane" With
the same eyes the street loiterer of to-
day would see other houses that which
Thackeray built, and in which he died;
the house of Dickens; and that in which
Mazzini lived. In his last days at
Pisa one Of his neighbors thought him
an Englishman. NO" he answered
sadly; Il am an Italian; but | have
lived for forty years in England.
The essential romance Of London is
fully suggested in the work of Gustave
Dore and Blanchard Jerrold, which is re-
produced in this country in Harpers S
Weekly And as the American reader
turns over its striking and beautiful
pages, in which the genius of the artist
shows ell its graces without its gro
tesqueness, he cannot help remarking
how destitute Of the peculiar charm
of association our own great city is.
Not only are the houses gone in which
the noted people of formeg generations
lived, and the streets which they walked
changed beyond recognition, but the
very names are modern and local. There
vas great deal of sly fun in an article
published some years ago upon the
Knickorbocker literature, and Mr.. Spar
rowgrass took up the cudgels with great
vigor in defense of the regulations that
he thought assailed But after all, how
frail the tenure Of many of these rep
utations wasl Indeed, how sadly like
his own Fifty years hence some
reader relishing the fresh and stingless

GENERAL LONGsTREET.
He Believes I'm the Cincinnati M0ve-
ment and Will support the Tick ct.

H. .
A member of the staff Of the New Or
leans Republican recently questioned
General Longstreet concerning his views
on the pending issues. The General re-
viewed his own action in resigning from
the Surveyorship, and explained why he
could not consistently, as Republican,
sustain the party represented by Gen.
Grant. In his opinion the Cincinnati
nominees are the true Republicans, and
as such should receive the sufrages of
the Republican party. Traversing the
outrages perpetrated by the Administra-
ton party in Louisiana, the General
said:
louisiana, one of the States recon
structed under Republican legislation,
and having the same government that
she had when received into the commun-
ity of States, with co-equal privileges
and immunities, must have been Repub-
lican in her government when the Fede-
