SION FOR THE FUTURE.
CHAPPAoUA,
(Which is in the State NV Moo York;
August 5, 1872.
1 AM quartered now more nearly to my
taste than I hev bin sence the halcyon days
NV A. johnson, who is now no more. hev
a room to myself to wich my meals is sent, l
hev my own private bottle, and the labor is
light, though the responsibility is heavier
than I could wish. I wuz sent here by the
Nashnel Democratic Committee to take
charge Nv these premises, and to see that
our beloved candidate, the great and good
Greeley, does not make an ass Nv hisself
more frekently than is good for us.
I arrived yesterdy mornin and to-wunst
assoomed the dooties Nv the posishen. My
first work wuz the inspecshun Nv the axes
on the farm, witch the great and good Horris
yooses on his trees. l found them all too
heavy for sich eontinyuous chopin ez he hez
to do. With them axes his strength wood
give out long afore the campane is over. I
ordered half dozen lighter ones, and sold
the stock on hand to the naberin farmers,
the proceeds Nv wich l shell remit to the
Nashnel Committee-ef I don't forget it.
Then, agin, I found the ladder wich the great
wood-chopper yooses to ascend trees wuz
not only clumsy in its construckshen, but
dangerous, and ordered another Nv bet
ter pattern. I he'd many other things to re-
form. Just after the Cincinnati Convenshun
it wuz reported to Horris that it wood hev a
good effect eff visitors shood alluz ketch him
up tree trimmiH branches, and ever sence
the old man hez gone out at nine in the
mornin, clum tree and stayed there till
mite, wich loonatic procedure wuz fearful
waste Nv time, ez visitors only come four
times a day. He wuz terribly exhausted.
l fixed this by hevin small but intelec
tooal boy perch hissef onto post in the
road wich leads to the house, with sig
nal flag. When party headed for the phi
losopher's house makes its appearance, the
boy waves his flag, and the great and good
Greeley takes off his coat and gets up tree,
aiting to be surprised at his yoosual avo-
cation. At first he yoosed to get down too
quick to make it lcok natral, but hev
trained him SO that he whaeks away with a
most blind expression on his face, till I call
twice or three times. To save walkin too
far, dig up tree and plant it near the
house. One will keep green for ten days,
and when the branches IL cut off we take out
the naked trunk and put another in its
place.
I hev, however, some trouble. Ny per-
sonal appearance is better sooted to the lat
itood Nv Kentucky than Moo York, and
hev too wear a hat without any rim to it, in
the sun, to account for the redness of my
nose. Then hev to meet SO many kinds Nv
people. We have here the Old Abolishnist
and the old Democrat, which are the hardest
to manage. Then comes the modified Dem
ocrat who accepts nigger suffrage and sich,
eff he kin be ashoored the Post Offs in his ma
tive village, and the modified Republican who
is willin to swaller amnesty, and likewise to
doubt whether universal suffrage wuz good
thing after all, provided he kin be ashoored
Nv the collectors offs wich Grant refoozed
to give him, and wich is now held by mins
yum and nepot. In short, we hev all shades
here, and its Il bother to take care Nv EN- all.
1 don't like mulatto babies, becoz every
one Nv EN- is proof positive that theirs bin
adultery somewhere. For the same reason
1 don't like coalishun parties. They amt
natral, and every one Nv EN- bears the mark
NV the sin thro wich it come into the world
Ours il mule party, eff ther ever wuz one
and l heartily wish we wuz thro with it.
1 he'd fearful time Nv it yesterday. Oul
picket guard waved his flag. Horris got uI
his tree, and in a moment there appeared 6
delegashun Nv Moo Workers, escortin dele
gashen Nv Southerners. 1 took EN- out undel
the tree. Horris come dowu, and we went to
the house, and commenst immejitly dscussir
