letters deponent held in his hand,
Their contents related TO matters un-
derstood between Carmichael and
Greeley, some Of the letters PASSING
on as though connected with preyiou
business and one of the letters invited
Carmichael to 90 to Cincinnati. These
letters were shown to deponent in the
last of March or first Of April, 1872.
Carmichael then said to deponent that
Greeley would be nominated at Gin.
cinnati, and the Democrats ,Doultl
adopt him; that the only point there
was, that greeley should get the Gin
cinnati nomination. Deponent perused
Horatio Seymour's letter, which he
read easily, and recognized the hand
writing, according to his previous
knowledge Of 1t, as Seymour's. The
subjects of that letter were ~ follows !:
II mentioned sn :,sssyO;ssS Of CosSs:cl.-

Carmichael and Greeley; saying he
(Seymour) soas more Jauorably I'M
pressed with the turn Of matters, with
which he seemed satisfied mentioned
the tariff question, and said the best
way was to leave the issue q vague one,

unite persons Of different views in the
coalition Increment; suggested that II
Greeley favored this IL would snaooNj

impression 10 that Greeley's candidaq
was mentioned, but of that he does nd
say positively. The time when thi
letter was read by deponent was aboi
the last Of March or first of AprA

Mr.. Greeley answered this letter In

afterward-the writer is not certain n

Democratic leaders would not support

Serenading Under Difficulties.

The Cleveland Leader says: A young
Romeo residing on Garden street,
whose voice has just commenced to
change, and sings anywhere along the
scale from falsetto TO the home bass,
purchased forty-dollar guitar, few
weeks since, and last week thought he
would serenade his Juliet, who lives on
the same street. Hastily chewing few
bronchial troches TO clear his pipes, he
crept within the shade of bay window
and nervously began clawing the in
strumental chords, while he softly tipped
a ballad to his charmer inside. He had
just sung
There's music in tho midnight air.
when he became convinced that there
was sole leather soaring about through
the atmosphere also, and before he could
strike the chorus he found the stuffing
kicked out of bis guitar, and himself in
the road using his nose as shovel
plough. The girls father had returned
from downtown at an unusually late
hour; hence the result. The warbler
is now practicing on the concertina and
getting his pants halfsoled with sheet
IRON. He says he will make the old
man sick if the bellows don't go back
on him.

MOndaY as Payday.

Both in England and America, several
large firms have tried, within the last
year, the plan of paying their employees
on Monday, instead OF Saturday. In
every case the results have been most
gratifying. The temptations necessarily
involved in day of leisure and
pocketful of money have been no longer
felt. Sunday, instead of being devoted to
dissipation, has become day of health
full recreation and rest; and the weeks
wages, formerly in great part wasted,
have been used to far better advantage.
Under the old system it often happens
that tirst-class workmen lose from one
to three days early in the week in re-
covering from the effects Of their Sum
day debauch. Under the new system
this evil no longer exists. 1t is said
that the same number of men do one
and half times az many days work in
the same time. The efficacy OF the
change has been thoroughly proven.
1t is to the interest of both master and
man; and it therefore lies in the power
of every employer to add greatly to the
physical and moral welfare of his en-
ployes, not only without any loss, but
with positive gain to himself. Chicago

So all these nations joined in making
war upon the United States. They
swooped down upon our coasts and
landed without opposition, for those ex-
posed portions of our unhappy country
were absolutely deserted. The Presi-
dent was afraid TO call away the army
from Kansas at first, for fear the out
ragged people upon the plains would
come East in spite of him. But at last
he did summon the army to his aid, and
il moved 10 meet the enemy. 1t was
too latel Before the troops reached
Cincinnati, the foreigners had seized
Washington and all the country east Of
the Ohio, and had hung the President

The army disbanded in alarm, and the
invaders moved to the far West, where
they found the population dying of
starvation, because they had not follow

for your first crop, to raise lines and
don't plant more than bushel of quick
lime in hilll" Ofcourse these wretch

/ doubt whether there is now in Eng.
land drier, heavier, drearier, more
monotonous and prosaic speaker than
Dixie. he Is a very young man for
English public life-only o28 years old
and it is perfect mystery TO me how at
that time OF life he has contrived TO get
rid of all the levity, all the brightness,
all the iervor Of youth, and to become
methodical and dry enough TO be an

A Duel by Mexican Women.

A Mexican romance shows that the
Mexican woman is willing to assume all
the responsibility belonging to her
rights. Two Mexican ladies of rank, at
a ball in Santa Cruz, quarreled regarding
a gentleman who loved each, we assume,
about equally. A challenge followed,
and there was fight with swords, the
end of which was the dis: bling of the
sword. arm of one of the combatants.
The wounded lady, nothing daunted,
drew pistol and dared the other to
come on. The parties were placed and
the word given and the unfortunate
one in the previous affray received a
ball in her left arm and was carried
from the field in a swoon. Two hours
afterward, the rules Of chivalry holding
good, the victor was married to the OBJ
ject of so many affections, and bore
him blushingly away on horseback
wedding tour.

fhE AeRlCuL1vRAL IDEA or THE SITUATION
My summer rambles take me through
Some quaint and some neg lected places,
Amongst the men with brawny arms
Ana rudy faces.
And such one met last night

Ills face was brown. his hands were hard.
HIS name was skinner.
While sweat upon his forehead glistened.
And sat calmly on the fence
And smoked and listened

To pillow the corn and turn the stubble;
But rally. l can't zactly see
What makes the trouble.

THE dog is no doubt very faithful
animal, but he sometimes displays a
plentiful lack of sense. A gentleman
in Illinois arrived home from journey of
some length, few days ago, and found
that he had lost his dog and a pair Of
old boots. After long search he found
the dog twenty miles away keeping
watch and ward over those boots by the
roadside. Now sensible dog would
have left them to rot, and one with
little sense and much fidelity would
have picked them up and trotted home.
A dog that is all fidelity and no sense
isn't worth much.

A Practical Joke.

Two practical okers in a Virginia
town, who were left in charge of numer-
Gus babies, on social occasion, while
the mammas enjoyed a dance, changed
the clothes of the little darlings, and ar
rayed each one in strange habiliments.
The mothers, after an hour or so Of de-
votion to Terpsichorean delights, took
their baby vestments, and the dear little
forms therein contained, and retired to
their respe ctive and once happy homes.
On preparing the little ones for the crib,
sexes had changed-girls were boys and
boys were girls-and, with one universal
yell, the outraged materials set out on
baby hunt. At last accounts almost
all mad succeeded in recovering the lost
heirs, but the wags keep out of the way
of these matrons as much as possible.
