Ex-Gov. Bigler of Pennsylvania has
written q letter defending his political

Every utterance from Greeley goes to
convince the public that in exercising the

evince great ability and courage, and an
intelligence that will be very delightful
after so long q term Of stolid infelicties
about the presidential mansion. But
many better things will be accomplished
in his election, and amongst the best will
be the Inauguration of an era of good
will, covering the whole country with,

amongst citizens of all parts and tending
directly, rs such feeling will, to the re.
lief of weak and impoverished States,
giving them increase ofpopulation, capt

importance, not only to such States, but
effect the rate of growth and general wei

HnmOrs Of the Street.

A ludicrous accident occurred on San
Francisco horse railroad recently. An ell
derly and very portly lady passenger sig
nailed for the car to stop at certain street,
but of course the rear platform went a lit
tie beyond the dry crossing, and as a con-
sequence the step was just over the mud,
which was very deep. The old lady growl-
ed a great deal, and the conductor stepped
off the car and offered his hand to guide
her to the crossing, when forgetting her ex-
ceeding weight, she sank bodily into his
outstretched arms, and, as a consequence
the conductor sat quietly down in the mud
and the passenger fell over his head. He
swore and she stormed, and the other pas
sengers laughed, but being behind time
the conductor was obliged to go on his way,
leaving the old lady trying to wipe the mud
off her clothes with seven-inch square
handkerchief, Indignantly vowiDg revenge
against the railroad company and all con-
ductOrs.

PrOmissOry Notes.

A man drew a note promising to pay
one hundred dollars He used a printed
form, but did not close up the blank devo-
ted to dollars, and after it had passed from
his hands and becoming negotiable paper,
somebody inserted and fifty after the one
hundred and before the printed word dollars,
making the note read one hundred and
fifty dollars. The note thus altered got
into the hands of an innocent party, who
presented it to the drawer, but payment
was refused. Suit was brought, and the
Supreme Court decided that the maker of
the note was liable for its face, because
through negligence he had not drawn a
line between the written word hundred
and the printed word "dollars." Any tes-
timony the drawer might offer to estab-
lish the fact that he gave note for only
one hundred dollars, must go for nothing
as "there was nothing on the face of the
note showing that it had been altered. =
Evidence of an alteration on the face of the
note would have changed the case. Let
the decision be lesson to all drawers of
promissory notes.-No one can be too care
ful in such matters.

PoET1cAL SELECTIONS.
NIGHT.

Night is the time for rest;
How sweet, when labors close,
To gather round an aching breast,
The curtain of repose,
Stretch the tired limbs, and lay the head
Down on our own delightful bed,
Night Is the time for dreams
The gay romance of life,
When truth that is, and truth that seems,
Mix in fantastic strife;
IT'LL all is ours that sages taught
That poets sung, and heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep;
TO wet with unseen tears,
Those graves of Memory, where sleep
The joys of other years;
Hopes that we're Angels at their birth,
But diedwhen young like things of earth.

Gz- The Frankfort (Kentucky) Yeoman
says little urchin Of not more than six or
seven got on the track near Capitol square,
just in front of a moving locomotive, and
commenced running a race with it, looking
back the while and laughing gaily at the
frowning engineer. He had not run more
than twenty-five or thirty yards when he
tripped and fell near the rail. The loco
motive was on him in a moment, but as
good luck or instinct would have it, the
little fellow raised one leg in the act to
turn over, when the cowcatcher, striking
his uplifted leg, rolled him violently off the
track and over into the mud two OF three
times, without seriously hurting him.

ON SnoRr ACQUAINTANCE. The Newhall House was the scene, yesterday, of a mat rimonial occurrence, which for neatness and dispatch in execution challenges con- parison. On the noon train, yesterday, there came to this city two gentlemen from Kenosha, Right Rev. Father Doherty, and and young man bearing the name of Des. mond. They betook themselves to the Newhall House, and as soon as they had registered their names the reverend gentle man asked to see Miss Fanny Cary, one of the waitresses of the hotel. Although she was at the time engaged in waiting on the table, his business appeared to be so urgent that she was summoned from the dining room and met Rev. Doherty in the hall. After exchanging the usual compliments and benediction of the season, the clergy man, who, it seems, had long been ac- quainted with Miss Cary. told her without further explanations, that young gentle. man friend of his, who accompanied hlm, was about to settle down in life, and made his fortune, and having determined to take q partner for better or for worse, had con- suited him as 10 an eligible person. That he had immediately suggested that Fanny Cary was just the person for the place, and that Desmond on the strength of his recom- mendatiop, had decided to offer himself to her and bring about, if possible an immedi- ate consummstion of the matter. After stating these facts, tho reverend father made formal proposal to the young girl in behalf of Desmond. The proposal was ac- cepted, Desmond summoned, the couple, who had never seen each other before, in- troduced, and by o'clock the ceremonies were performed by the Rev. Mir. Doherty. Without waiting for congratulations the newly-marred couple set out for Fox Lake, the residence of Desmond. Desmond is said to be & a man of considerable means, owning property about Fox Lake 10 the amount of $40, ,OOO. From the Milscdukee IVssso,, os,
