Greeley on BIS Farm.

Somebody who has been there, thus
sketches Horace Greeley on his farm /;
The country residence OF the Hon.
Horace Greeley is known by the In
dian name-dif1cul to remember
Chappaqua. It might appropriately
be called, more simply ChOp-away, in
token Of the principal recreation Of its
distinguished resident, which Is chop
ping wood. he usually goes up to his
farm on Friday, and spends Saturday
there. One Of the first motions which
he makes, on Saturday morning is for
his axe, which he seiZes with Rvidity,
and then he starts for tree. If 1t is
one too near, in his estimation, to ALL
other, or one Of an inferior variety
which ne wants out Of the way to
make room for better, whaek, whaek,
90 the blows, and soon down falls the
tree. II, on the other hand, the tree
be some stately occupant Of the soil,
Mr.. Greeley, despite his corpulency
and great weight, mounts, like a
squirrel, among the limbs, and one
after another the dead or superfuous
branches are Topped of.
1t makes little difference who
accompanies Mr.. Greeley to his farm;
he seldom, If ever, fOregOes his chop
ping. He Is not only very courteous
in showing visitors around, but he
manifests great enjoyment in the
scenery, and in pointing out the diff
ferent sights; but, after while he says
to his visitor, "If you will amuse
yourself a while now, guess I'll do 8
water little ehOpping." Trees anC
running water are his delight. He
has less knowledge OF cattle, and moi
so much taste for them, although he
has some remarkably fine Attorneys
but he values these because they give
rich milk, and are pets of the family
He abominates hens in q garden; and
at one time, when ne owned q goat,
he used to express great anxiety to sci
one half of it to somebody who would
butcher that half.
BIr. Greeley's farm is in a high state
Of cultivation, and his orchards art
very fine.

Ruling Her.

Says the Gold Hill NetUs: Our friend
Traddles, in Virginia, has got his wife
in proper subjection, and means to
keep her so. "Ohw says he, In telling
Us about it, "there amt many that
know how to rule q wife properly.
Now my old woman's one Of the best
natured women in the world, but she's
got q terrible temper. Whenever
see she's got her mad up, fits dozen
times a day, just quietly say nOthin'
but kinder humOr her, and she comes
round all right after a while. Even
when she throws things at me OF
gives q wild slash for me with the
broom, or rollin' pin, dodge q little
and she never hits me q third time
before I get my eye on her and let her
know I disapprove Of such actions on
her part. Perhaps I have to leave the
house to show her this, but, you bet,
she sees the point. Then by being
careful not to irritate her, and letting
her have her own way, I manage to
make her do just as / please. And
you bet make her understand and
appreciate my discipline. OIL keep
her under perfect control. A man has
to, you know. Got to be boss in youl
hoHse or the first thing you know you
wife will ride you down like you
wasn't anybody. My wife's q perfect
angel in her natural disposition but
any other man but me would spoil
her.

From the Hamburger Correspondent.
N. Catacazy,s Mission Its Purpose to
Procure the Rejection OF the Treaty
OF Washington.
NJ. Catacazy has long been one Of
the Prince GortsehakOf's favOrites;
but he is even less known to Russian
society and the Russian public than
most Of the foreign diplomatic agents
employed by Russia, as he is by birth
a Greek, and, as such, has no cOnnec-
tions in this country. 1t is said that
Prince GortschRkof regards him as
an adept in Eastern affairs, and he
has always shown special eagerness
in looking after the orthodox" in
terests of Russia in the Bosphorus. 1t
is this zeal which has led the astute
Greek to abandon his usual prudence
and burn his fingers at Washington.
When at the beginning Of the year
the Black Sea affair was under cOnsid-
Grafton by the London Conference,
considerable anxiety prevailed among
Russia diplomatists. They feared
that in consequence OF the improve
ment which was just then occurring
in the relations between the Wash
ingSon Cabinet and the English Gov
ernment. Lord Granville's resistance
to the proposal of giving up the neu-
trality ofthe Black Sea might become
stronger, and Russia's position IN
London, which was based on her
friendship with America, grow more
difficult. The appointment of new
American Embassador in London,
which was so prOpitiOus for the Ala.
bama affair, was about to be made,
and NJ. Catacazy was instructed to do
his utmost to prevent the acceptance
of the British proposals for an ar
rangement, and to obtain the appoint
ment of an EmbassadOr who would
not be regarded with favor in London.
M. CatacaZy was over-ZealOus in car
rying out these instructions; he ne
gotiated with the rival parties in
America, and finally entered into an
intrigue against President Grant and
Mr.. Fish, with the view OF cempel-
ing them by party pressure to adopt
the Russian programme in the Ala
bama question. When the President
discovered this he threw the whole
responsibility Of the intrigue on NJ.
Cataeazy, the American relations
with the Russian Government re-
naming on the same friendly foot
ing as before. Prince GortschakOR
strove hard to protect his favOrite, but
in vain, and at length the President
behaved to NJ. CatseaZy with such
tTYankee Sdns-gene" that the latter's
position became untenable.

VOLUME 24-NUMBER Is.

One Of John Adams letters is nub-
ushed in the Philadelphia Lsoql Ga
-stte. An old friend had been writing
to Adams, and quoted letter that
Washington had written in I7sS, prais-
ing his administration. This is Adams,
meaty reply:
"QUINCY, August ., 1876.
"DEAR SR-In your letter Of the
9TH of July you fiatter me with very
high eulogies, and complete the climax
of them with the opinion Of WASH
ingtOn. For the future I pray you to
spare yourself the trouble of quoting
that great authority in my favor
Although no man has more settled
opinion of his integrity and virtues
than myself, nevertheless desire that
my life, actions and administration
may be condemned to everlasting
Oblivion, and will add infamy, if
they can not be defended by their own
of Mr.. WashingtOn's judgment. The
Federalists, as they are called by
themselves and by their enemies,
have done themselves and their cOun-
try inealeulable injury by making
Washington their military, political,
religious, and even moral Pope, and
aseribing everything to him. Han
cock, Samuel Adams, John Jay, and
several Others, have been much more
essential characters to America than
Washington. Another character al
most forgotten, of more importance
than any of them all, was James Otis.
1t Is to stand against eternal justice to
give to one, as these people do, the
merits Of so many. 1t is an effeetual
extinguisher Of all patriotism and
public virtue, and throwing the nation
wholly into the hands of intrigue
You lament the growth of corruption,
very justly, but there is none more
poisonous than the eternal putting
and trumpeting of Washington and
Franklin, and the ineesSant abuse OF
the real Fathers Of the country"

Widow Smiths ReceIpt.

Mrs. Smith is an old lady addicted
to making "bulls," and is of a piece
with the good woman who poured out
the coffee to feast upon the grounds.
1t was a blunder something of this
character she has just committed, for
which she has come to answer at the
police office.
The cause of the hubbub had occur
red in the postoffice, New York, where
the clerk, whose duty it was to attend
to prepaid letters, was suddenly ac-
cOsted by woman who rushed in in
great trepidation. This woman was
the widow Smith.
"Sir," she exclaimed in a voice
trembling with anger, chow does it
happen, 1 should like to know, that
when one has prepaid the postage on
letter, the person to whom it is sent
is made to pay for it again."
"How it happens, madam" cried
the clerk, "why it don't happen at
ALL"
"Well, 1 say it does happen, and
what's more, that it happened to-day
I-thereI'
"And ] tell you again that it is i'm
possible that it should be So"
"But it is person of my acquaint-
ance to whom l wrote yesterday, and
whose letter prepaid, who says she
had to pay for it too. She was furious
about it, and / don't wonder she was (;
for 1 wrote to her concerning my own
affairs, and she had to pay the post
age. It's downright robbery, / say"
And thereupOn the widow kicked up
such a rumpus that it was found to be
necessary to call in a policeman and
take her before the magistrate. In
stead of pacifying Mrs. Smith, this
proceeding nearly threw her into the
last degree of evaporation. Although
the officer requested her to assume a
proper line of conduct, the widow per-
sisted in her fury, and stamped and
| screamed most uprOaTiOusly.
"TO be told, too, that / don't know
what have lone with it!'' she cried.
"DOne with what?n inquired the
magistrate.
"The receipt" answered the widow;
"the receipt which proves that pre-
paid the letter" So saying, she fum-
bled in all her pockets.
"There," she exclaimed, suddenly,
'I've got it! Here it is ~
And she exhibited triumphantly to
the magistrate-what can you imagine
it was?-a postage stamp! The poor
lady had taken it as a receipt for the
money she had paid to the clerk, and
| treasured it sacredly, instead of past
I ing it upOn the letter.

Prom the January Lippineoft.
The Coming Hnman.

The main object in life for the Com
ing Woman will be not 30 much the
mating as the making Of herself. She
will aim possibly at position, possibly
at wealth-surely at independence.
One thing she will never be content
to remain, and that is the mere mar
tial appendage of man.
If prOgressiveness masculine as to
ability, talent, and influence shine,
prOgressiveness feminine will aspire
to light as brilliant as q candle in her
walk of life. She will repudiate shin
ing altogether by reflected brilliancy.
The Coming Woman will protect
herself. The "big brother" will be
rid of his responsibility; he may go
about his business. She is to be a
markswOman; she will send the ball
to its mark with the same precision
as now she does the end of a thread
through the eye of n fine cambria
needle. She will alone in the dark
ness safely travel the highway and
the byWays of the city. Bloody corp
ses of impIudently forward men,
young and old, will occasionally be
found in her track. The Coming WO-
man will be dangerous at night. 1t is
time. Man to the single woman has
been dangerous long enough. Not
that we admire or iEdOrse the female
desperadO, or "Girl of the Period, y
but there are still extant many mas
culine natures only to be coerced into
a proper respect for female honor and
purity by fear Of personal consequent
ces.
She will not be deficient in nerve
or weak in muscle. She will be a
skillful driver, q daring rider, hardy
walker. -Four miles per hour, up hill
and down, will be her pace. Male
alteration weak in the knees will
do pelRnce. Theof idea woman as the
weaker sex will become old-fashioned
and finally obsolete. Physical strength
in the matter of agility and endurance
is not for man alone. The South Sea
Island women are better swimmers
than the men. What woman is ever
tired of dancing? A washerwoman's
tolls might lay up dry goods mer-
chant for week, and perhaps tire a
plOWman. Male muscle may lift
more pounds, bat put that ofthe fe-
male in training, and it runs, leaps
and climbs as the female mind jumps
at conclusions, as quickly as, if not
quicker than, that OF the male. She
will not spend her days eooped up in
any house. At forty she intends be-
ing fair, healthy, vigorous, symmet-
rically adipose, and st the climax of
life's attractiveness and enjoyments.
! At twenty she will be beautifully un-
folding; at thirty, charming at forty,
magnificent. This because she puts
sun, pure air and water to legitimate,
plentiful and frequent use. No pent-
up, Theoretically sealed, lathed-and-
plastered, stove-heated cavern, its
walls, its floors, its atmosphere per-
meated by the emanations Of past
generations, will be her den of life
I immurement.

threw down a bundle Of papers, and
held the dim candle for me to read:
There were hundreds Of letters, all
written in a fine steel plate lady's

ing that some one at home no longer

bent over me, as l satlOn the bunk be-

"That was it, you see; that was it.

dead, and can send them no more
money, and as you was a going to the
States l thought it best that you
should drop in and tell the two fami-
| lies gently, somehow that they both
were dead. Say that they died to-
gether. He sent them the last ounce
he had the week before he died, and
made me take these letteas to keep
them away from the coroner, so that
he might not know his address, and
so they might not know at home that
Curly had died long ago, and died a
gambler. Take one of the letters
along, and that will tell yOu where
they are"
