A MONSTER Ora INT meeting

week at which tne lolloWlne
resolutions, which will receive
a hearty reponse at the hands
of the country, and which have
the ring of the true metal
were adopted: g
1st. That the merchants anG
mechanics, the bankers and
business men of New York
represented at this meeting
and in the call under which il
is assembled, are satisfied with
the wisdom, ability, modera-
tion aud fidelity with which
the National Government is
administered, and in common
with the bulk of our brethren
throughout the Union, favor
the continuance of the distin-
guished head in the office
which he holds with usefulness
and honor.
I'd. That the practical re-
suit of the coalition movement,
if successful, would be to re-
store the Democratic party to
power.
Sd. That such restoration,
after the late glorious triumph
over rebellion, would read in
history like the record of the
Tory resurrection at the close
of our Revolutionary war.
4th. That Republicans elect
ed to office mainly by those
who assailed the Union at tie
South, and at the North en-
barrassed its defenders, would
inevitably become Serviceable
to the power that sustained
them, like those Northern
Presidents who were chosen
by the South and did its bid.
ding better than its own states,
men.
5th. That the patriotism
that made Grant President ol
the Republic he saved is akin
to that which placed Washing.
ton at the head of the nation
he created. The trust was ac-
cepted by each at the manifest
sacrifice of interest, and with
a modest misgiving as to civil
experience and qualification;
bat having been well and wise
ly administered, the confidence
implied a reelection as an ap-
propriate reward for hful
services, and accords with the
broadest views Of public poll
cy.
9Th. That against hostile
criticisms and unfounded I'm
putations, against alluring
promises and preSmatic theo-
res, we array practical reforms
continually inaugurated, and
the substantial results already
achieved by the present ad-
ministration. The chronic vices
of existing systems unfairly
paraded to its injury have been
placed in course of ameliora-
ton or removal; the reduction
of the national debt has elicit.
ed the admiration of the world,
our diplomacy has made peace
the ally of national honor, and
our precedent has been in deed,
as we'll as in name, a kind OF
great father to the Indian
tribes still lingering within our
borders.
7th. That while honorable
opposition is entitled 10 re-
spect, every effort to blacken,
for political purposes, the char
acter of President Grant, is a
crime against truth, which vim
dicates him, and an insult to
the American people, who
honor and exalt him. Pure in
private as irreproachable in
public life, with strong convic
tions yet deferential to the
public will, patient under at
tack, more ready to listen thar
to speak, with no display ant

Twain and GrIsWOld vs.. Cough.

keep your seat,n said I, as my
friend rose to 90; Il cannot help re-
peating that old boomerang joke at
tempted to be played upon Cough by
eYerybOdy's pet humorist, Mark
Twain and that Falstaffian jokist, the
Fat Contributor. 1t has been told
before, but 1 should like to repeat it,
stripping the story from the falsehOOds
by which it was formerly embellish-
ed.
One evening Twain and Girls found
themselves together at the Sherman
House, in Chicago, B. F. before the
fire.
Drifting about in search of the pic
turesque, they followed the human
stream till, 10 wear the metaphor
threadbare, they stranded on q bar.
Mr.. Cough was staying at the house
at the time, and, being unwell, had
retired early. a bright idea struck
1wain's restless mind, Lets send
him up a cocktail ~
Idea voted good and acted upon.
Waiter arrived at Mr.. Coughs room /:
''Some mistake; never touch liquOr.n
Waiter positive; Mr.. Cough more 50.
On the way down it occurred to the
darky that 1t was pity the cocktail
should be wasted, so he drank it, and
reported "all right at the bar. Twain
and Girls, intensely delighted, thought
they had caught the lecturer mapping.
f'Let's send him up another,I said
Girls. Same result; cocktail receiptad
home by darky. Excitement at fever
heat.
"Give him a brandy, strong, "
shouted Twain.
Disappearance of darky-ditto cock
tail. Report satisfactory, and the
precious pair put their heads together,
and were cOncOcting a plot 10 mix the
liquors on the temperance man, when
Mr.. Cough entered the bar-room, ap-
preached our heroes and said:
'I am afraid you rest under q mis-
apprehension. Seeing that L was be-
ing made the victim of some practical
joke, followed the waiter down aud
saw him drink the liquor that 1 Sup
pose you thought / had used. You
will please refrain from sending any
more up, as have not felt the need
Os such drinks for years.
When the subject is brought up now
ta Twain, he says the Fat Contributor
''retired within himself like a creased
telescope" but further says that he

know there was a Sherman House, "

stage Coach Adventure.

Once upon a time traveller stepped
into a stage coach. He was q young
man, just starting in life. He found
six passengers about him, and gray
headed and extremely aged men. The
youngest appeared to have seen at
least eighty winters. Our young trav-
eler, struck with the singularly mild
and happy aspect which distinguished
mis- fellow passengers, determined to
ascertain the secret Of long life, and
the art of making old age comfortable,
addressed the one who was apparently
the eldest, who told him that he had al
ways led u regular abstemiOus life, eat
ing vegetables and drinking water.
The young man was rather daunted
at this, inasmuch as. he had a liking
for the good things of this life. He ad-
dressed The esecOnd, who astonished him
by saying that he had always eaten
roasted beef, and gone 70 bed glorious
ly fuddled every night, for the lastsev-
enty years, adding that sail depends
on regularity"
The third had prolonged his days by
never seeking or accepting ONCE, the
fourth by resolutely abstaining from
all religious controversies, and the
fifth by getting to bed at sunset, and
rising at dawn.
The sixth was apparently much
younger than the other ive-his hair
was less gray, and there was more OF
tia placid smile, denOting a perfect
Iy easy conscience, mantled his face,
and his voice was tOeund and strong.
They were all surprised 70 learn that
ne was ten years the oldest man in the
coach.
''HOw. "excsaimed our young trav-
eler, sis it that you have thus preserv-
ed the freshness Of life?"
The old man replied;
I have drank water and drank
Wine-I have eaten meat aud ve2eta-
bles-I have held public ofice-I have
sometimes gone 10 bed at midnight,
got up at sunrise ana at noon-I have
dabbled in politics, and written for re-
ligious papers-6st I GtsOdys paid

The Red-Nan Law.

At meeting of the Pioneer Socie-
ETY. of Michigan, Mr.. Drake, of Pom
tiac, read a paper from which we ex-
tract the following specimen of Indian
law:
Rish-kaw-kO was celebated Indian
chief of the Saginaw country. Some
one of his band had done some Offen-
sive act for which he was brought up
before the chief and jury somewhat
near Saginaw for trial. The Offense was
said to be capital and the trial was for
life. Kish-kaw-kO presided at the trial,
and the testimony being introduced
in due form thejury found the prisoner
not guilty. The chief inquired of the
foreman OF the jury why they had ac-
quilted the accused. The foreman an
sWered that il was because he was
not guilty according to their law. The
prisoner was then sitting surrounded
by the jury and covered with blankets
80 that he could not see what was go
ing on; this being the usual mode
of proceeding. Kish-kaW-kO quietly
arose, took his tOmahawk from under
his blanket and drove it down into the
the head Of the prisoner, killing
him instantly, and saying at the same
time with savage energy, Hthe law is
changed" This event took place about
the time Mr.. Roberts arrived in De-
trOit. A few years after this, Kish-
kaw-kO and son of his were both
tried by an American Court in
Detroit for the murder Of another In
6ian here. They were both convicted
and sentenced 10 be hung; but they
had agreed between themselves to
take poison, and would not be hung.
The poison was obtained in the prison
and the old chief kept his word, took
the poison and died. Toe young
mans courage failed him and he did
not take the poison. He broke jail
and escaped, soon after which a par
don came from the president, ]. Q.
Adams, and thus ended the whole
matter,

Iron H0uses.

An English firm is doing quite an
extensive business in supplying Aus
tria with iron dwelling houses manu-
faetured in England and sesup at short
notice by English mechanics whefeV-
er the purchaser desires The houses
that are most in demand are those
which have two, four, and six rooms,
the purchaser being generally the bet
ter class Of Austrian artisans The great
want Of the advanced wOrkingmen OF
the large continental cities has long
been for small, comfortable dwellings,
aud this want Is being rapidly met BY
the introduction OF the English houses
Of iron, which are not only warm,
strong and reasonably elegant, but
cheaper than can be built at Vienna,
at least Of any domestic material. This
seems curious when there are taken
into account all the charges incideh-
tai upon the cost Of fToaterial, cOnstruc-
ton, carriage and custom house does,
and il il suggests that the enterprise
might be made profitable IN this
country, especially in the imme-
date neighbOrhOOd OF the iron
and coal fields. The iron houses
Of America are, with very few
exceptions, large and costly, no at

Gathering woods Dirt.

When going 10 work in the fields
near the wood lot, take along a shovel
and carry home at noon and AZ night
load Of forest loan, or else set apart
a day and devote it entirely 10 the pur-
pose Of collecting. Woods dirt is one Of
the best mulches that can be used; il is
one the best absOrbents for the stable,
and as loan and fertilizer for soil il
cannot be exeelled. Il is good upon
all kinds Of soil, and as cheap as
air.
Leavee and loan form an excellent
material for house banking, and for
covering vegetables buried in the
fields or garden. Nature has designed
the fallen leaves as shield To the tree
roots against the frost; thin coating
being almost imperviOus to that ele-
menf; they are, therefore, exactly 1T
ted for the use above mentioned. No
better manure can be used upOn tie
garden, As iJ will make the soil liOht
and airy, and at the same time
give It the primitive qualities and fer
tility. - Ohio FdTHer.

Going to the State House, was

ed me with all the ease and grace Of
well-bred gentleman. His appear

years of age, and seems impressed
most fully with the idea that he has a
mission, and he acts quite as if be

himself as the representative Of his
race at the south. I trust that his

wise prudence, which alone indicates

at the amount Of business here trans
acted, by seeing the acres of cot

the river, where is moored q vast
amount Of shipping. The rail-
roads now running and those in pro-

An Error TO Avoid.

All writers do best who depict that
which they have seen with their own
eyes, instead of their "mind's eyes"
1t is very easy to detect the difference.
There is a glow, q naturalness, 4
fidelity 70 life in the first, that is never
to be found in the last. And yet how
many, stepping past their own legiti-
mate points of observation, and look
ing only through the fog of imagina-
tiOn, give US dim, distorted, crude Carl
catures ollie and human beings, the
counterpart of which never has and
nev will exist This is especially
the ault of beginners, whose mis-
dir cted aim it is to startle and
sstonish.
