How Il Lame Boy Worked his Way
Up the Ladder of Life.

Not far from sixty wears ago young
lad, leaning upon a crutch, presented
himself at the Office of leading hard
ware merchant in the city OF Albany, IN
applicant for Il situation as junior clerk.
On the previous day, one Of the most
valued customers Of the merchant, tin
and sheetiron worker doing business in
the neighboring (then) village Of Troy,
bad recommended the poor lad to the
merchant for the situation, though he
said nothing about his infrmity; and
there was the boy with a bent and stiff
ened knee, with a crutch under his arm,
anxlously awaiting an encouraging word
or look from the doubling, hesitating
merchant, who, but for his unwilllngness
to aisoblige so valued customer, would
at once have dismissed the applicant.
"Can you run up and down that step
ladder-do you think?" said the mer-
chant 81 can do anything l set about, "
said the lad, and he went to work. With
indomitable energy, perseverance, and
unAagging industry, in few years the
poor lame boy rose to the head of the
employees of the establishment, and soon
after attaining his majority his employ
er admitted him to partnership. The
merchant was John Spencer, the lad
Erastus Corning, and for many years,
and until the death of the former, these
composed the great business firm Of
John Spencer & Co. For the past forty
years few business men in the United
States have been more conspicuous OF
more successful, none moro generous
large hearted and strictly honorable
than Erastus Corning.-Madison Wis. }

STRONG FOR GREELEY.
Dom Piatt's Paper on the Cincinnati
Nominations.

The question is asked, will the Dem
ocratic party nominate au adverse can
didats? The question might bn varied
50 as to read, will the Democratic party
do very foolish and shabby thing, be-
cause the way seems open to win by an
act Of dishonor? 1t is true that by no
formal net has that party pledged itself
to abide by the result at Cincinnati, but
that the convention was attended BY
large numbers OF able and honorable
Democrats, who went in good faith, and
with the full concurrence OF influential
leaders OF the party, and that the moral
influence OF the leaders of the party was
exerted to help ON the enterprise with
the best pledges they were able to give,
in the name of their party, to refrain
from putting another candidate in NOM
ination, is unquestionable. Ifthe Dem
ocratc party should make IN adverse
nomination, and Mr.. Greeley continue
in the field, the party might steal an un-
worthy victory, but the result would be
Injurious to the Democracy, and would
probably work in the end II dissolution
of the party itself. The nomination Of
Mr.. Greeley may be fairly regarded rs
III the interests of the Democracy, as the
first step through a disintegration Of
the existing party tenures, and a disso-
luton of present party attachments, to-
ward the construction OF truly Demo
cratic party, and, in this view of the
case, itwould be the height OF unwisdom
in the party, as it stands, to interpose Il
check upon revolutionary process which
has commenced under auspices which
seem so encouraging, 1t is by no means
certain, in case the Democratic party
should decide to nominate and Mr..
Greeley decline to withdraw, that the
former would be successful. A move
ment has begun which will hardly be
measurable within the nominating peri
cd, movement in which the people ap-
pear to be deeply interested, and it is
not impossible that such an net, in the
place of putting check upon it, would
produce an opposite effect, aid inspire
it with a force such as multitudes some
times exhibit when enthusiasm is inten-
sifed by feelings ofindignation,-IIa Hash

Mosby's Position.

The Alexander Gazette says: We have
seen a letter from Col. John S. Mosby
to friend in this city in which refer
ence is made to a reported conversation
between Colonel Mosby and President
Grant. Referring to that report, Col NJ.
says: 81 see / am reported as saying to
General Grant that / would support
him, even if a Domocrat was nominated
against htm.' do not care about COM
ing ont in the papers to correct this, but
l hope my friends will not think I said
any such thing. On the contrary / ex-
prOssly told General Grant that 1 would
support tho Democrat nominee, but as
between him ana Greeley, was in favor
of the South going for the one that
would offer us the most generous terms
i. e.tthat the Philadelphia Convention
must outbid Cincinnati. Hai,4

AnAWkWarl Mistake.

A curious story was current in West
End circles some years ago. The Duke
of Wellington received n note which he
believed emanated from the Bishop of
London, requesting permission to
sketch the Waterloo breeChes.' The
Duke though both alarmed and sur
prised, Immediately ordered the "small
clothes to be forwarded to st. James
square, with the following characteris-
tic epistle: "F. NJ. the Duke of Yelling
ton presents his compliments to the
Bishop Of London, and is not aware
that the breeches he wore on the occa-
sion Of the battle of Waterloo differ ma
torially from many other pairs in his
Grace's possession, but they are very
much at the Bishops service, and he
can make any use of them he thinks
proper" The Bishops CONSERVATION
on receipt OF the above, with its accom-
panying parcel, had the effect Of induc-
ing him Immediately to order his car
riage and drive to the Prime Minister
with this sad proof of the wreck Of his
Grace's mental powers, whilst the"Duke"
on the other hand, mounted his horse
and rode to the residence Of the Lord
Chancellor with similar announcement
in respect to tho Bishop, producing the
note he had that morning received. On
q closer examination it was discovered
that the writer was not the Bishop OF
London, but Miss Loudon," daughter
of the great landscape gardener, and
herself an artist of some celebrity, ask
ing his Graces permission to sketch moi
the Waterloo breeches," but elump oi
trees at Strathfeldsaye, known as the
"Waterloo breeches." The Duke had
mistaken "Loudon" for London" the
Bishops usual signature, the ihitiah
being, singularly enough, the same III
both cases.

Our Northern Brethren.

In line logical argument Of twenty
lives pages, writer in tho Southern
.MdgaEine reviews the subject OF "Im-
migration to the South" lie enumerates
the resources Of the Southern States, and
urges the Importation Of foreign aid, but
repels the IDEA of entertaining any hopes
of relief from the North. We quote his
language:
"Instead of peaceful armies of welcome
settlers, the North has sent us swarms ut
carpet-baggers to stir up our negro popu-
latiOn to rebellion and bood-shed, t, ar,
son and murder. Under the administra
tion Of General Grant, these vampires
have been encouraged to such degree
that they have been enabled to seize the
reins Of the State Governments and to
nearly ruin those States. We need only
contemplate South Carolina to show what
the North has done for us Since the war.
The condition Of those States would well
nigh be irretrievable, but for the truly
marvellous resources which in them lie vet
undeyelOped, and which must be raised
by immigration and by foreign capital
The natural impulse of protection for life
and property against the tiendish spirit ot
the carpet-baggerS and their but too will
ling disciples has been turned against the
Southern people by exaggerated stories
of Ku-Klux Klans; and at this day t
strike terror at the South, wholesale trial
are taking in poor South Carolina. Th
is, in few words, the result of our hope
of drawing anything save ruin from ou
association with our brethren of the North
Let every man at this day, mindful o
those lessons Of the past, give up thos
deIusive hopes which he may have enter
tanned with curse lves-we freely confes
it-and be convinced that no aid will eve
come to us from the North, (if it reaci
here in individual cases, 1t will be bu

The DespOtism of Convention.

These bodies too often transcend their
powers. A more glariDg instance could
not be found than the one found in the
action of the Democratic State Conyen-
tion the other day. That convention as
sembled for the purpose of nominating a
Democratic candidate for Governor. the
adoption Of platform and the selection
of Presidential tickets electors for the
State at large. Thus far the convention
had a right to act, but not an inch further.
Dsregarding both justice and precedent,
the convention assumed to appoint elec.
ters for several of the Congressional dis
tricts in the State. In this the conven-
tiOn acted unwisely. Each Congressional
district is entitled to its own elector and
has the right to select him in a convention
Of its own. No Slate Convention has
either the power or the right to appoint
electors for the several Congressional dis
tricts. We are pleased to know that the
delegates from our county recognized this
precedent, and that they refused to ap.
point or recommend an elector for our dis
trict. Our readers know that an elector
for our district must be appointed, other
wise their votes will amount to nothing in
the Presidential election. We therefore
suggest to the counties of this CongleS-
sional District to call a meeting some
where in the district fur the purpose Of
slecting an elector, and, from our stand
point, we want none selected unless he j!
pledged for Greeley.-Bsdjord Bulletin,

MY OWN, MY NATIVE LAND.
Extract From One of Horace Gree,
ley'S Foreign Letters.

Il rejoice he wrote on the morning
OF his departure, Il rejoice to feel
TINT ever hour, henceforth, must lessen
the distance which divides me from nv
country, whose advantages and blessings
this four months absence has taught me
to appreciate more dearly and to prize
more deeply than before. With a glow
OF unwonted rapture see our stately
vessels prov turned toward the setting
SUN, and strive to realize that only some
ten days seperate me from those | know
and love best on earth Hmk the last
gun announces that the mail boat has
left us, and that we are fairly afloat on
our ocean journey; the shores of Europe
lecede from our vision; the waterv waste
is all around us; and now, with God
above, and death below, our gallant bark
and her clustered company together
brave the dangers of the mighty deep.
May Infinite Mercy watch over our on
ward path and bring us safely to our
several homes, for to dieaway from home
and kindred seems one of the saddest
calamities that could beiall me. This
mortal tenement would rest uneasily in
an ocean shroud; this spirit reluctantly
resign this tenement to the chill and
pitless brine; those eyes close regretiully
on the stranger skies and bleak inhos-
pitality of the sullel, and stormy main.
No ! let me see once more the scenes So
well remembered and beloved let me
grasp, If but once again, the hand Of
friendship and hear the thrilling accents
OF proved affection, and when sooner OF
later the hour of mortal agony shall
come, let my last guze be fixed on eyes
that will not forget me whom | am gone
and let my ashes repose i'll that con-
genial soil which, however | may there
be esteemed or hated, is still MY own
green land forever

AMouse Afflicted with SMALLPOX.

On Friday evening lady entered the
drug store Of DR.. Edward Lindridge, on
Hudson avenue, near Sands street, Brook
lyn, and placed live mouse on the cOun-
ter. The little animal had very sore
head, and the doctor was asked whether
he knew what the matter was. lie was
also informed that it had been brought
from the tenement house 1856 Hudson
avenue, near York eet,where there have
been several cases of smallpox. After
examining the mouse he found that it was
covered with sores. He sprinklsd some
disinfecting powder over it and in a short
time it died. 1t was then dissected, and
clear case of smallpox iuits worst form
was revealed. The remains we're inclosed
in glass jar, and are to be sent to the
hospital Tor further examination, as il is
believed to he the 6rst case of the, kind

A Domestic Hint.

Carpet shaking (says an exchaugel is
at hand Here is a bit of advice which it
will be well for housekeepers to heed.
When a carpet is taken up to be cleaned
the floor beneath is generally covered
with dust. This dust i, very fine and
dry, aud poisonous to The lungs. Before
removing it, sprinkle the AoOr with dilu
ted carbolic acid, to kill any poisonous
germs that may be present, and to
thoroughly disinfect the floor aud make it
sweet.
