JoLLIFYING AT CHAPPAoUA.
1t wuz mite at Chappaqua. The
wild winds sighed mournfully about
the dreary house, and blew chill and
sad among the denuded branches NV

Greeley hisself, there wuz Tilton, NV
the curly locks, and Reid Nv the crafty
face, there wuz Cochrane and Mcclure,

the South and West.
We wuz joHyfyin! Down the fur

was rollin, and each wuz usin his
pocket handkerchief at his eyes, prob
ably to conceal his Joy.
We sot in silence a studyin the re-
turns: Then the great and good
Greeley spoke. He rejoiced over the
victory he achieved in the three
States. tho he would say in candor
that the victory wux'nt ez complete ez
he could hev wished. But ther wuz
every coz for congratulashen and re
joicen. The majority agin us in Ohio
wuz only 10000 And now there is,
in round numbers, 1000 election pre-
cincts in that State, and eff only five
Republicans in each change from the
tyrant Grant to me, why 1 carry it.
Likewise so in Pennsylvania and In
Ijiany. The ishoo Is now narrowed to
the two, and who can. doubt the re-

The response was a most hillarous
and enthusiastic groan from all pres
