Homes for President.

The New York Nation is responsible for the
following anccdote of President Lincoln:
A postmaster in Illinois, who had made some
unfavorable structures on a speech of one Jones,
a congressman from that state, was promptly
removed at the request of Jones. A friend of
the president and of the postmaster ventured to
demonstrate against so great an outrage After
a long and unavailmg effort to convince the
president of his error, the man, irritated by
Lineoln's reply, Zones demands it, and must
do it," exclaimed, care you president, or is
Jones president?' "Jones is president" was
Lincoln's quick and sagacious answer. He then
proceeded to explain to his astonished friend
that the country, in its hour of bitter need,
could not afford to lose even the pitance of sup
port that Jones' influence in its favor could
give it.
The truth presented in the able article that
includes this anecdote, is the very heart and
centre of the present issue before the people,
Grant and Greeley by themselves might be
magnets of about equal power, drawing the
masses in opposite directions. The very inten.
sity of the personal element in the partizan de-
votiou of their friends, shows the lack of any
great general principle as an issue in the cam
paign.
Probably, if Grant and Greeley were the only
men concerned in this election, as many would
be glad to see the one as the other in the White
house. But such is the present distortion of
our political system that an intelligent voter
must inquire. not what men will the president
call around him in the exercise of his best judg-
ment and discretion, but what sort of men
must inevitably be his counsellors; or, rather,
what sort of men will in reality control, to
great extent, the policy of the government. In
other words, what sort of Jones will the newly
elected president find at his sde2

JOKE :oN GOVERNOR HOFFMAN.-"Eli Per-
kins," at Saratoga, gives the following dia-
lOgue
Mr.. b. +. Beekman, the banker, Business and
railroad millionaire, and the great Christian
who raised 100000 to buy Morrissey's club
house last summer for the young mems Chris
tian association, had talk with the governor
yesterday.
Mr.. Beeklnan said he had voted the demo-
cratic ticket and that he had followed the party
over pretty rough roads, but he didn't see how
he could vote for q shutting old woman like
Greeley "Why, Governor" said Mr.. Beekman,
"the old fool don't know enough TO attend to
his own busnessi he is eternally letting some
devilish fool swndle him; and with such big,
overgrown child at the head, why, business men
wouldn't feel safe; he'd want TO do some devil
ish stupid thing every day
Out" interrupted the governor; 81 think Mr..
Greeley is pretty good Judge Of men think
he can pick out an honest man or knave as
quick as any one. /"
why, there is just where he is always the
biggest fool" continued Mr.. Beekman.
Never mind,' said the governor; ~ would
take his dritiiot of man to be true Quicker
than would take any mans in the country"
You would p asked Mr.. Beekman, feeling in
a side pocket,
yes wonld," said the GOVERNOR firmly.
"Well, here is slip where he calls you a
swindling democratic villain," said Mr.. Beck
man, as he handed an old Tribune editorial to
the governor.
The governor read it over twice, then looked
as if he was trying to see straight through Mr..
Beekmah, d row Of CARRIAGES and q two foot
brick partition-then he slammed on his hat
and went up stairs.

Greeley's conduct, / think, is base. I had
never any confidence in him. He has no talent
for leader English edition, vol ., p.24.
The Boston Transcript says it has always
been well known in literary circles that there
was a difference between the English and Amer
lean editions of the Life of Theodore Parker"
by Rev. John Weiss. 1t is also well under
stood that Mr.. Weiss had nothing whatever to
do with tampering with the American edition,
by the suppression of the following paragraphs.
Greeley is not fit for a leader, He IS capri
cious, crochety, full of whims and wrong
headed. How he talks on political economy,
which he knows so little aboutl How he took
the side of Russia in the Crimean warl How
IS he now? 1S5S) unwilling to object TO the adj
mission Of new slave state; and what a mean
defence OF mean speech! He is honest, |
think, but pitiably weak for man in such a
position - English edition, vol. 3, D. $40.
1t is rumored that the editors of the Detroit
Free Press are preparing work to be entitled
what We Know about Eating Crow" of which
the following is the table of contents: "Chapter
/, We refuse TO eat crow; chapter 2, Will it pay
to eat crow? chapter 8, How much can we make
by eating crow? chapter 4, We can't afford not
to eat crow; chapter 8, We eat crow; chapter 6,
We digest the crow" The concluding chapter,
relating the final effect of the crow diet, will not
be issued until after the November election.
One week before the congressional convention
which did not nominate Mr.. John +. Farms
worth of Illinois for reelection to congress- and
some time after both Grant and Greeley had
been nominated, MIR. Farnsworth said in
speech to the colorcd people of Geneva, Illinois:
" The republican party have made their nomi-
nations, and it is the duty of every good repub-
lican to stand by those nominations. As for
Mr.. Grant, you have had him four years, and
you all know what he is" And then, after eu-
logizing Senator Wilson, Mr.. Farnworth added:
As for Mr.. Greeley, am not here to abuse any
one; but do not now, nor never did, think him
fit man for president" Mr.. Farnsworth was
not nominated, and he is for Greeley.

THE AMERICAN Standardization Por-
ter's philosophical works haze recently been re-
published in England, and have met, With
the heartest COMMUNICATION from the British
critics. The July number of the British Quar-
terly Review, in speaking of the presidents
work on the g Human Intellect" says:
President Porter's Work. the result of thirty
years professional labor; is not only the most
important philosophical work that has APP
peared in our language since Sir William Ham
iltons, but its form, as manual, makes it in
valuable to students: Its survey of the entire
field Of speculative Thought in tie domain of
philosophy, and is complete summary and eriti-
cism of its controversies and results"
president Porter presents us with what may be
called a complete system of philosophy; and by
its complete and vigorous analysis of facts, its
mastery inductionS from them, and its tri-
umphant vindcation of tic lftuitte msthod of
the process, it places him in the very first rank
of living philosophers" "In his
book the best philosophical thinking of our day
may be said to eliminate. Not only is it by
far the ablest psychological work that America
has yet produced, it is unique among ourselves
in its completeness and ability. 1t is appalling
to think OF the hard metaphysical thinking and
reading of thirty years, of which the results are
before us" at is a work Of which
any school or country might be proud"

A California wagon maker has invented a Gu
rious vehicle, which, in his sanguine moments,
he believes will revolutionize the whole wagon
business. He has provided it with every essen
tial but name, and there he finds a difficulty,
although several have been suggested, such as
barrel railroad, cylindrical wagon, drum coach
and road cylinder. 1t is designed for the car
riage Of freight and passengers. A Sacramento
paper describes it as follows:
1t consists of a large drum open at both
ends, supposed TO be from four to sixteen feet
IN diameter according to the size of the ma
chine desred), and from five to seven feet in
length. Inside of this wooden cylinder three
grooVed tracks of steel one inch by three-eighths
are laid. This completes the description Of the
shell, which in perspective looks like a wine
vat lying on its side. Within this is placed am
other cylinder closed at the ends, and upon the
outside of which are three tracks conforming
To the centers of this inner cylinder the
shafts are attached. The freight is placed in the
inner cylinder and the machine is ready TO
90. The force required 10 move it is just equal
to the force that would be required TO slide the
inner cylinder on three rails well oiled. 1t is in
one sense a sled, which lays a track for itself as
il goes. Experiments have been made with one
roughly constructed, only four feet in diameter
which was freighted with two thousand three
hundred pounds of iron and seven men on the
outside, which was carried easily, over level
roads, by one horse. The tracks were rough
and the entire model imperfect, but the expert
ment greatly encouraged the inventor, who has
applied for patent"

FLAYoRING WITH LEAvEs.-D. Bury, in the
Garden, says: "Leaves are more or less popular
for garnishing, but it has often surprised me
that they are so little used for 1avoring With
the exception of sweet and bitter herbs grown
chiefly for the purpose, and parsley, which is
neither bitter nor sweet, but the most popular
OF all fayoring plants, comparatively few other
leaves are used. Perhaps | ought also to ex-
cept the sweet bay, which is popular in rice and
other puddings, ard certainly imparts one of the
most pleasant and exquisite favors. But, on
the other hand, what a waste there is of the
hayoringproperties of peach, almond and laurel
leaves, so richly charged with the essence of
bitter almonds, so much used in most Kitchens
Of course such leaves must be used with eau
ton, but so must the spirit as well. An infusion
of these could readily be made, either green or
dry, and tea or table spoonful of the havoring
liquor used to taste. One of the most useful
and most harmless of all leaves for
ftavoring is that of the common syrin-
ga. When cucumbers are scarce, these are
a perfect substitute in salads or ANYTHING in
which that favor is desired. The taste is not
only like that of cucumbers, but identical--a
curious instance of the correlation of fayors in
widely different families. Again, the young
leaves of cucumbers have striking likeness in
the way of flavor to that of the fruit. The same
may be affirmed of carrot tops, which are as like
carrots in taste rs may be. In most gardens
there is pTodigious waste of celery flavor in the
sacrifice OF the external leaves and their partial
ly banched footstalks. Scores Of sticks Of celery
are cut up into soup when the outsides would
flavor it equally well or better The young
leaves Of gooseberries added to bottled fruit give
fresher flavor and a greener color to pies and
tarts. The leaves Of the towering currant give
a sort Of intermediate favor between that of
black currants and red. Orange, citron and
lemon leaves impart a fayoring equal to that of
the fruit and rind combined, and somewhat diff
ierent from both A few leaves added to pies or
boiled in the milk used to bake with rice or
formed into crusts or paste, impart an admirable
and almost nimitable bouquet. In Short leaves
are not half so much used for seasoning pur-
poses as they might be.

How JUAREz DIED.-A Vera Cruz letter of
late date gives these particulars of President
Juarez' death; He complained of feeling I'M
well on the nth of July, but continued to attend
to his duties. The next day, July Is, the cor
respondent says, he was really quite unwell and
unable to go to the public rooms. His daughters,
son-in-law and intimate friends in the morning
became alarmed and desired him TO call in the
family physician, but he would not consent,
affirming that he was simply fatigued. During
the whole day he suffered at intervals acute
pains in the region of the heart, but he would
not admit that he was i'll, In the afternoon he
had long conversations with Minister Lafragua
aud Gen. AlatOre on business matters, and sew
eral times complained of an oppression of the
chest that prevented free respiration At six
P. M, NJ. Santairilla gave him the false informa-
ton that the American packet would not leave
Vera Cruz until the 18th, which seemed to please
him very much, since he said she would thus
carry TO the United States the news of the cap
ture of Monterey from the Terolutionists
by the government forces. AT seven P. NJ.
the president was so much worse that he at
length admitted that he was really i'll, and took
to his bed. Doctors were called, but rather too
late to do him any good. He continued to grad
uallY grow worse, so that at P. NJ. his Drinci-
pal family physician announced to the family
that he had no hopes OF saving the president,
and doubted whether he could live three hours
more. Other physicians were then called to the
and attending friends. The pains in the region
of the heart increased every moment in intensi-
ty, and as Juarez was also suffering from nausea,
internal medicines could not be used to calm
them, therefore resort was had to local sub
cutaneouS injections of morphine on the suffer
ing portions, being the left side of the breast.
AT half-past ten the case was hopeless Three
of the ministers were called to witness the end,
and grief-strcken and shocked, awaited the sad
result. Near eleven Juarez rallied little and
babe favorte servant named Camille to rub
the suffering parts. To all present it was PLAIN
the president was in great pain, and fast APP
preaching his end, but he alone seemed unaware
of this. A quarter of an hour before expiring
he was aided to tup in his bed, but only for a
few minutes. AT twenty-five minutes past
rested his head on his left hand and made no
further movements, and precisely at half-past
eleven breathed his last without sigh or
struggle.
