How to to- swallow Greeeleey,v.. e,v. /.

When Democrat is asked how he
is going to swallow Greeley, the sat-
isfactory and conclusive reply, can be
made just as the Republicans swaI-
lowed Grant and Forhey and Butler
Geary and Cameron, It'd homnine
genus, with this difference, that Hor-
ace, with all his peculiarities. is an
honest, clean mofsel, rntainted by
corruption andunstained by dishon-,
or, which is, more than can be said of
some of the precious morsels which
have glided smoothly down the gull

The number of beer stamps issued
by the Internal Revenue Bureau du-
ring the fiscal year ending June 30th,
was p, ,595, 600 an increase OF 5.O00,O0O
over the issue of tho year previous.
This would seem to indicate flatter-
ing increase in the manufacture Of
beer for the same period, and cor
responding consumption. 1t would
appear that beer is destined to become
the national beverage. fif

4 A PHYSICIAN. who is something of a
wag called on a oolored Baptist min
lister and propounded few puzzling
questions. "Whyis it, said he, s'that
you are not able to do the same mira
cles that the apostles did? They were
protected against poisons and all
kinds of perils, how is 1t that you are
not protected in the same wayi' Tho
colored brother responded promptly :
"Don't know about that, Doctor. 1

Some idea of the vast wealth ofTex-
as may be had from the fact that there
are about $3,800,000 head of cattle in
the State. Seven hundred and fifty
thousand calves are raised and brand
ed every year. All are raised on the
great Texas plains, which cover an
area of 125, 100000 acres.

EXPENDITURES. -3a
Mr.. Dawes says: ...f szs.,..
'.The figures | propose to publish
show the exact expenditures OF the
Government for the year 1871 as COM
pared with those of 1860. / am sur
prised to be able to show by these
figures that upon a peace basis the ac-
tual expenditures of 1871 exceed those
of 1850 by only $6,44S.000." -s
This statement is not true. Says
Mr.. Dawes: .@
upon a peace basis the actual ex-
penditnres of 1871 exceed those Of
1860 by only Sc. AS, ,000." 49,, -
The years 1860 and 1871 were alike
years of peace, but in both of those
years among the expenditures of the
Government there were payments OF
pensions, and on the principal and in
terest of the public debt, In order,
then, TO make the comparison between
the expenditures during those years
fair and honest, payments of pensions
and. money paid on the public debt
must be excluded. Every one, will
understand that this method of esti-
mating peace is in favor of 1871. as
the pensions and debt are now large.

A most mysterious and terrible tragedy has
been developed in this city this afternoon, the
circumstances Of which are unparalleled among
the multiplicity Of revolving and strange crimes
which have taken place in this vicinity recently.
The victim, the assassin, and the motive
are all unknown. Up to this time, ana Io
event has caused considerable excitement: It
seems that between and 4 o'clock thus a1ter-
noon some Of the workmen employed IN the gas
house at the foot of Cambridge street dlsco7-

banks Of the Charles River. Thinking perhaps

THEY WILL RATlFY.

A meeting of the Coulmander-in- Chief and
Staff Officers Of the Union Standard Guards OF
Cook and adjoining counties, was held 1ast
evening at their headquarters on Lake street, to
perfect arrangements for grand procession in
honor Of the recent elections. There we're
present General I. S. Reynolds, Commander~in-
Chief, Colonel Q. Lippincott, Major r; II; Wood,
Major J, ". Lnimbier, Captain B: R. De Young,
and Colonel Storey, with two other gentlemen
Who have held less prominent positions in the
organizations incident to the recent campaign.
It was at first resolved that the ratification
should take place next Thursday night, but, IN
confederation that the Central Committee was
owing the organization considerable. sum OF
money, it VAS resolved that no time should be
Bet for the ratification: but that Committee,
consisting of Colonels Wood, Macarthur, ely
bourn, and Lippincott, with the commander.ln,
Chief, Reynolds, should wait upon the Central
Committee, and request the payment OF tue
money due; and, if their demands should be
satisfied, it would be decided by the COMMITTEE
where the procession would take up 1ts line OF
march.
The meeting accordingly adjourned with thlf
understanding.

AHORRlBLE DISCOVERY.

While patrolling their beat on the railroad
track near the intersection Of Twenty-second
and Halsted streets, about O'Clock last evening,
Officers scanlon and Kelly, Of the South Branch
Police Station, made horrible discovery. They
observed a dark object lying on the track "a
switch OF the Chicago, Burlington Quincy
Railroad), and believing it to be some bewildered
inebriate who had lain down in the perllous
place to sleep, approached to arouse and start
him toward home. To their utter horror
and dismay they found it to be
the headless, handless. and footless
trunk of man who had evidently been run over
by locomotive. Lights we're procured. and
search was made for the missing members.
They we're found some distance from the track.
The remains we're conveyed to the Police Sta
ton, and thence to the Morgue, where they we're
subsequently identified these Of f James D9en
teenth street. The mutilated corpse was taken
home to the bereaved family. Deceased Was 3
labo1er in AfcCormick's reaper factory. It has
not been discovered how he met with such q ter

Augustus Waters writes to the Newark Eoen-
ing Courier:
AZ on the occasion of my recent visit In re-
ferring to the Woodruff outrage, I ventured to
express my deep sympathy, whereupon, with O
quiet uplifting Of his lon-like head, he remark
ed, s.Afy dear friend, do not need any SYN,
pathy." Afterward he remarked he felt troubled
for his friends: because they we're troubled but,
as for himself, his life for twenty-five
years in Plymouth Church must be bis
only defence. It would be impossible to de- e.
scribe my feelings on leaving the presence Of
M. Beecher on this occasion. The majestic
preacher could not bend SO low as to notice Mrs.
Woodruff until remarked that the woman was
undoubtedly insane; and then, with the kineli-
est of smiles, he replied: s'I believe so, too.
At any rate, I can only wish people better
minds" The first thing said on approaching
him was, 'of course, Mr. Beecher, this thing is
fraud from beginning to end?" To which he
replied, With an :, understandable motion OF the
head, :'Entire1y." In fact. he made me feel
that had never before realized the potency and
comprehensiveness Of that word.
