alarmed lest the Democrats should be

statement made by Mr.. Greeley himself
as to what he will do. In converse
ton since the nomination the following
questions and answers were given:
Reporter-Have you read the plat

Greeley-I have read what has been

Reporter-I have not seen the dis

Reporter-If the people elect major

dated March Is, says: "On the 17th

Chicago Rents.

Rents in Chicago are eXorbitaDt, a
cheap, three story building at the south
west corner of Clark and Washington
streets, and fronting partly on the Court
House Square, costs $4,000, and rents
for $4,000 annually, it being partly
used for offices. The owner pays about
$4,000 for taxes and insurance, and has
clear profit of about $4,000. The
ground and building would not proba-
bly, sell for over S350,O0O. An expen-
sive brown stone building, which is to
be put up at the corner of State and
Madison streets, has been rented to a
firm, which will occupy the whole of it
for S22, 1000 year for FIVE years. The
buildings will cost 100000, and. the
taxes and insurance will not exceed
$4,000 year. Another building with a
forty foot frontage, and costing $4,000
has been leased for five years at $23,.
90 year The price of the lot and
building would not fall below 100000
At present, cheap and expensive build
ings rent for about the same prices, their
cost making no difference, and this will
continue during this year.

Sound Reasoning from a Southern
Democrat.
from the Memphis Appeal

tiiO HpPcai.l
In June, 1869, Stokes and Senter an
nounced themselves as candidates for
Governor in Tennessee. Both supper
ted Grant, and were regarded as bitter
Republicans. But Senter raised the
banner of peace, restoration, and en-
franchisement. Every Democrat in the
State rallied to his support, voted for
him cordially, proudly and with heart
felt. gratitude. If Democrat in Ten
nessee had proposed to hold Demo
cratic State Convention for the purpose
of nominating a Democratic candidate
for Governor, he would have been hiss
ed into silence by his party friends, who
would at once have said, "We can not
elect a Democrat, but we can secure
peace and enfranchisement through
Senter's election"
This same policy in Virginia and
Missouri succeeded in abolishing dis
franchisements, restoring a fraternal
feeling, reviving popular interest in pub
lie affairs, securing fair representation
in Congress, inaugurating amnesty, and
substituting the peaceful operation OF
the written laws for the harsh methods
of military Nominations. These, it is
true, were not Democratic partisan vic
tories, but they were Radical partisan
defeats. They were not accomplished
by the Democratic organization, but
they were triumphs for Democratic
principles. The result in these States
fully vindicated both Democrats and
Liberal Republicans, for the era of good
feeling has been established. No States
are now more tranquil-none more pros
porous. The same policy that made
these movements successful in Tennes
see, Virginia and Missouri, will make :
National contest, governed by the same
policy, successful.

From the beginning Of tie movement

I know him to be man Of kindly dis

only Republican in the United States
who has deep and abiding sympathy

feeling for Adams I consider wholly ar
tifcial It was worked up. He had no
hold upon the sympathies and affections
of the people, and his nomination would
not and could not have aroused enthusi,

Platform language is ofLsn vague, and

She should be firm, gentle, kind, al

should never laugh at what it does that
is cunning; never allow it to think Of
its looks, except to be neat and clean in
all its habits. She should teach it to
obey look; to respect those older than
itself; she should never make com.
mand without seeing it performed in the
right manner. Never speak Of a child's
faults or foihlss or repeat its remarks
before it. 1t is sure way to spoil q

Sit down, sad soul, and count
The moments flying;
Come, tell the sweet amount
That's lost by signing!
How many smiles?-a score?
Then laugh, and count no more,
For day is dying!

And no mere measure

The loss of leisure;
But here, by this lone stream,
Lie down with US, and dream
Of starry treasures.
We dream; do thou the same;
We love-forever;
We laugh, yet few we shame
The gentle never.
Stay, then, till sorrow dies;
Then-hope and happy skies
Are thine forever!
