weakness which should not be held
before him as reproach. As for his
desire to float into an office, he has not in
timated to us his wish in that regard and
it would do him no good if he should. We
are against him. Our opinion is that such

low the Liberal Republicans to walk up to

THOMAS MAST.
SKETCH OF THE RIST
OF HARPER'S WEEKLY.


New York Correspondence Chicago Tribune.
The story Of Tommy Nasts artistic ca.
reer is little peculiar. His father was II
professional musician, and when l first
knew Tommy, the old gentleman was
blowing that extension brass, shove.out-
and.pull back force pump sort Of old-fash-
toned horn they used to have in bands "a
friend says it is called q trombone), in the
orchestra of Wallack's old theater, corner
Of Broom and Broadway, at $40 week.
Mast senior, wanted Tommy to become
musician, and, to that end used to thrash
him with II leather strap most enthusiastic
cally and faithfully, in order to make him
learn the scales on the violin. Thomas,
however, had u genius for drawing and
knew it. He used to beg his father TO
permit him to become an artist, to all of
which the conscientious old German NOV
many wears dead) would reply with addi-
t,onsl doses of strap.
At last young Thomas became acquaint-
ed with Mr.. Berghaus, now, and for more
than dozen years, one of Frank Leslie's
chief artists; and to Berghaus, who was
also a German. he confded all his woes.
He showed his drawings to Berghaus. and

father that he could earn more money as
an artist than as n musician.
Tommy went home that night, and to

A FAvoRITE ARGUMENT with radical
papers, and one which has been used until
it is thread bare since Mr.. Summers great
speech in the senate, IS that he is Influenced
in his opposition to Gen. Grant by per-
soma. feelings. He may be. The presi-
dents course toward Mr.. Sumner has not
been such as would have retained for
Grant the kindly sentiments OF the
Massachusetts senator. But if every word
uttered by him against the president had
its foundation in personal hatred, and
were still true and unans werable, its force
remains the same and II should and will
have its due weight in assisting to remove
Gen. Grant from the high and responsible
position he occupies and placing in his
stead man against whom such charges
will never be made.

JUDGE BAKER WILL SING FOR

GENERAL L0NGSTREET.

HE BELIEVES IN THE CINCINNATI MOVE
MEST AND WILL SUPPORT THE TICKET.
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 u republican,
sustain the party represented by General
Grant. In his opinion tho Cincinnati
nominees are the true republicans, and US
such should receive the sutfrages Of the re-
publican party. Traversng the outrages
perpetrated by the administration 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 community of
states, with co.equal privileges and i'm
her government when the federal officers
essayed, in January last, to overthrow her
civil authority. Now, the reconstruction
measures having been ratified by the
people, they should receive the respect
republicans. Then, If there are any true
iSpuohShHo III Loulslullu, tHcy must Dc
found among those who, at the hazard Of
their lives, maintained the law and repub-
lican institutions. While, on the other
hand, it appears that the federalists who
conspired together for the purpose Of sup
planting the state government subverted
the reconstruction laws, setting up a new
and unauthorized government, are not re-
publicans in spirit"
Reported Are they in fact?
General Longstreet- No.
Reporter-Do not these conspirators
support General Grant for the presidency,
and those whom you denominate true re-
publicans' support the Cincinnati nom
inees2
General Longstreet -Yes; the former
so to Philadelphia; the latter represented
the state at the Cincinnati convention.
When l entered upon the course of recon-
struction laid down by the laws, did so
without mental reservation. Notwith-
standing the general opinion that the laws
were harsh, ] preferred TO accept them as
measures of peace; nor did / attribute to
the law-givers desire to DO harsh from
improper motives, but because future good
seemed to require it. You may imagine
my surprise when found that my loyalty
W republican principles was not satisfac-
sory, because in the discharge of my Of
ne.Ai obligations defended republican in

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid Mr.. Greeley's
young man, was in the city las, week He
stopped at the Arlington Hotel, and at
tracted universal attention by the beauty
Of his person and the gorgeousness Of his
apparel. He wore magnificent maroon
colored velvet coat, n white satin vest,
trimmed with rufiies and point lace, blue
neck-tie, an immense gold chain. which
went twice around his neck and fell grace
fully over his snow-white shirt bosom,
respendent with three precious stones OF
enormous value, namely, and emerald, a
diamond cluster and magnificent ruby.
His pantaloons a delicate shade of ashes
Of roses---were cut in the latest Partisan
style, and strapped tightly over patent
leather shoes, stitched with yellow silk
thread. He wore a white silk hat--a COM
pliment to his distinguished chief-gloves
to match his pantaioons, and slender
cane with handle of ivory and gold. Mr..
Reid was the observed Of all observers on
the avenue; thousands of admiring eyes
followed him wherever he went. He made
nm immense sensation at the capitol.
Doors few open at his approach, and the
crowds of lobbyists, congressman and
other vulgar people who lounge around
the halls and corridors instinctively made
way for him as he approached. Wherever
he passed the air was filled with a sweet
fragrance and perfume; an angelic smile
played around his classic mouth, disclos-
ing a set Of pearly teeth; his hair was
dressed a la Pompadour, frizzed at the sides
and curled and parted behind. Washing
ton has rarely seen so much lovelness
and beauty and perfection as Mr.. Reid in
his person and attire exhibited last week.

NARROW GAUGE RAILROAD CONVENTION.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A convention to consider the practic.
ability Of narrow-gauge railroads has been
called to meet at St. Louis on June 10.
The special committee to prepare an adj
dress on the objects of tho meeting has re-
ported twelve points for discussion, em-
bracing the comparative cost Of construct
ing and operating broad and narrow
gauge roads, and their relative efficiency
in the development Of new countries; the
saving in dead weight TO be effected by the
narrow gauge; and the question whether
its passenger-coache can b.: made safe,
comfortable, and popular with the travel
ing public. The committee declares that
no antagonism exists between the two
systems; but that the nsrrow-gauge roads
will prove powerful adjuncts, and, in
many instances, make dividend paying
roads Of sickly enterprises.
