Ex.SECESSloNIST WESTCOTT Oh
GREELEY.
BY ELI PERKINS.

Yesterday l asked the old ex-rebel
who he favored for the Presidency.
"Why," sir, he replied, 81 go for
Greeley"
"Why for Greeley ?" / asked.
because, sir, if We get him of
from the Republicans, we kill the
id Republican party. For if that
hungry Tribune ever gets into office
once, they will starve out the Grant.
ties, and then steal and gorge them
selves until they bust and disgust
everybody else, and compel de.
cent Republicans to go off and join
the Democracy. Yes, sir; the sal.
walton of the old Democratic party is
to elect Greeley"
"Will the Southern secessionists
go for Greeley?" l asked.
"Some will and some won't, sir.
There's Gen. Hill-a red-hot seces
sionist once-he made speech lately
for Greeley, but old Bob Toombs
picked his Greeley bubble, and lei
the air out in three minutes. But
sir, I'm for Greeley, just as I'd be
for the devil himself if it was to de-
stroy this Black Republican party
we must whip them in detail, or ten
to one, they will all-Grant, Greeley
and Sumner-get around together
again. A vote, sir, for Greeley, be
tween you and /, is vote for killing
the Republican party"
Then the old secessionist went of
to the other end of the balcony, and
commenced abusing the Yankees il
general again.

The Presidential campaign is be.

over the Union-by the Republicans
for Grant and Wilson, on the one
hand, and by the Democrats and
their few renegade Republican al
lies for Greeley and Brown on the
other. Our advices, private and
public, all agree that the Greeley
cause is rapidly on the decline. The
defeat in North Carolina, the formid
able proportions the Louisville
straight out Democratic movement
is assuming, and the undoubted evi
dences of the continued fidelity Of
the Republican masses, are having 9
very weakening effect upon the Gree

candor to speak their real minds to
day they would admit that Grants
re election is inevitable. A fort
night ago the Greeley organs and
managers were exceedingly hopeful
now they are gloomy, and becoming
more discouraged every day. They
see the peoples handwriting upor

A VICTIM OF MISPLACED CONF.
DENCE,

A city chap from Cleveland, Ohio,
spending few weeks in the country
with farmer friend, asked to be
permitted to "abstract lacteal fluid
from the bovine group at eventide. "
as soon as the farmer found out that
all he wanted was TO milk the COW
some night, he cheerfully assented,
and with other members seated him
self on the barnyard fence to see the
fun. Hardly had the tight panta-
looned chap began to pull on the pc
culiar natural appendages, which all
vino desires to milk must manipulate
Except milkmen who live near a
pond) when the patient COW looked
round and saw the "what-is-it" at
her side. Fetching him wipe in
the eye with her tail, she at the same
time projected her hind foot with
lightning like rapidity, and while the
mixer was balancing on his ear, in
a mud puddle, the sporting COW sent
the milk pail after him. Owing to
damages to his pants our hero was
compelled to walk backward until he
got out of sight of the farmers
daughters, and now says farming is a
fraud.

the kitcL n door locked, rauaround the
house. ''Ann's window is open
Look in the closet :" he added, as
Dennis, pausing outside to hear the
storms of kicks and blows ON the door,
turned to the men and remarked, rs he
jumped in, " Shure an the devil him
self is shut up in AIMS room! What

That was a scene, when Dennis open
ed the door, and the four men were
kept busy for few moments, while he
wound the rascal up with two clothes
lines, and Johnny danced and screamed
with excitement. Then Dennis laid
him back among the bundles, picked
up the money and Bible, and again
bolted the door. Mrs. Catly, who had
seen the men running, camo over,
Johnny, crying Historically, was placed
in her care TIL his mother should come
home, and was at once put to bed and
fed with catnip-tea. But he was up
again when at five O'Clock the big
wagon drove into the yard, and in the
children's excitement lived it all over
again. Inc elnlgrant wagon was no.
where to be seen, and it was not till
some weeks afterward when the boy
was brought up for trial, that he con
fessed to having stolen away from it,
intending to rob Mr.. CATERS hen
house, and, hiding in the shed, had
seen the money which tempted him.
Johnny at once became a hero in the
neighbornood, and indeed in Ottawa,
too, where he had to go as witness.
But the proudest day of all was that
on which the whole trial appeared in
the county paper; and Johnny felt
that Napoleon Bonaparte was small,
and Wellington ciper, when compared
with him. He is older and wiser now,
and yet | doubt if he will ever do a
drawer thing than his run against the
door on that September day.
