A HARD OLD SINNER. Hon. G. W.
Schofield made speech ut Meedville,
Ohio. few days ago, in which he Sc
riously stated, on the authority of Sena-
tor Wilson, that Horace Greeley pro-
posed to President Lincoln, in 1864, to
get Louis Napoleon's assistance to con-
quer the South, and to offer Napoleon
the control of the United States Govern
ment in consideration thereof. The New
York Tribune is Mortified at The expo
sure, and says:
''This Greeley, with his plots for an
empire and dreams of ducal coronet, is
the same miscreant who attempted to
burn New York, blow up the Croton ac-
queduct, pay the Confederate debt, pen
sion the rebel soldiers, make JEFF. Davis
President and Louis Napoleon Emperor
at the same time, poison all the wells
within the lines of the army of the Poto.
mao. and infect the Northern ports with
yellow fever. he was perpetually en-
gagged in reasonable correspondence
with the South. and was an accomplice
in the assassination of President Lincoln.
He committed Ku Klux outrages in
nearly all the Southern States. He was
an active repeater during the North Ca
rolina election. At present, he is plot
ting an inundation of Long Branch, and
comprising the murder of Senator Conk-
ling and the Hon. Mat. Carpenter.
What fresh atrocity he may commit, we
shudder to think"

must have hot weather, and, you see, it
ripens wheat and makes the wheat grow;
glorious weather for cornP' Eyes, I see
it is. That field of corn has grown
about two feet in the last week. By the
way, what is the use of corn?" "Use of
corn? Why, bless me, what do you
mean?" "Weu, just this: You know
that America was discovered not quite
400 years ago, and before that there was
no corn Tor they called it maize) known.
How do you suppose people got along
without corn?" "Blees me! I never
thought of TINT. do recoIlect to have
seen in history how Columbus disco
vered America, but never thought of
there being no corn. Are you sure of
that?" "Quite sure Of it, if people tell
the truth; and, moreover, there were no
turkeys in Europe. They didn't get q
good many other first rate things. What
do you drink for breakfast?" ''Oh,
coffee, OF course" "Well. in those days
they didn't get any coffee in England
What vegetables do you generally have
for dinner?" Mainly potatoes, and in
the season I'm right fond of tomatoes "
"Well, they didn't have any potatoes or
tomatoes in Europe before they got
them from America" ''Why, amt po-
tstoes called Irish potatoes?" ITO be
sure they are, but they never had po-
tato in Ireland till they got it from Ame-
rica." "You don't say sol Well, Ame-
