THE GREELEY SHIP GOING TO PIECES

The Greeley shipw queer craft, of course.
The material was not uniform some being green
from the woods, some sappy some "doated,"
some worm-eaten, and very little seasoned and
reliable. Such timber put together in haste,
with no careful supervision and modelled upon
= ridiculous plan, was sure to produce leaky,
lOp-sided, cranky ship, which could not be
trusted, at ALL for a safe voyage from July to
November, across the stormy seas of Presiden-
tial campaign.
The consequence is that the vessel is already
going to pieces, though her trip has, as yet,
been short one. Some of the timbers were
80 unsound that they have actually disappeared
fiom their places, and the water that is pouring
through these leaks cannot be kept down, even
By hard pumping. The complete certainty of a
terrible disaster begins to be apparent, and we
have no doubt that even such a sanguine pilot
a7 Hlton begins to wish he had never put to sea
III a ship SO hastily and imperfectly constructed.
TO change the figure, what electoral vote il
Greeley likely to carry in November The
most reliable Democratic States are becoming
doubtful. kentucky, the stronghold of the coa-
l.fion, which gave Seymour 10000 majority, is
&c demorali4ed by the Greeley and anti-Greeey
differences among the Democracy that the Re-
rublcans are working with spirit and hope to
carry even il, for Grant. 1t is not certain, to-
day. that if the present movements continue
among the various parties, there will be single
electoral vote cast for Greeley and Brown. The
whole drift of public sentiment has set, over
whelmingly and unchangeably, against !hem
and it is unlikely, if not impossible that any.
thing will now occur to change the situation.
ldoy not only have no chance of election, but
tAey are in imminent prospect of the most
Overwhelming defeat ever sustained b. any can
didates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.

Henry ward Bcecher on Croauet

Mr.. Beecher writes "Croquet is one Of the
most charming of out-of-door games, and the
man who invented it, if alive ought to be hon
ored with annual gifts, and il dead, his name
ought to be cut in gold and put in Westminster
Abbey, among the benefactors of his race. A
minister. like any other man, may say that this
fascinating sport has no charms FOR him. But
to decline il on moral grounds, as something too
worldly for minister ought to send man to
Coventry A creature who does not play oroquet
for fear he will lose his influence may be sure
that he has no influence which he would not be
all the better for losing.

The Louisville Movement.

There are five Democratic journals indorsine
Louisville where one Republican journal Ell
dorsed Ciicipnati The altered tone of the Gree.
lev organs shows their apprehensions of this
movement, more especially since il has become
probable that the Hon. Charles OConor will be
the nominee. The Republican press are berated
for irving to give Importance to the movement
Their action in the matter is simply to record
the facts which are so seduously ret aside or be-
Titled by Greeley journals, that ought to have
the decency at least to notice public meetings
held in the interest of men whose Democracy
(paity wise) is above suspicion Washington

The large vote polled for ex-Alderman Vim
cent, at the nomination Of Republican caudi-
late for Mayor, is md. atiye of the kindly feeling
entertained toward hA by numerous class OF
tie community, While it s additionally true, Of
course that very manv who preferred other
candidates for that particular position also had
the fuenaliest regard for Mr.. Vincent 1t is
Considered that he is an old citizen, long identi
led with the interests OF Wilmington, and deyo-
tol to their practical advancement. Always
deeply interested in antiquarian studies, he has
done much to preserve The perishing records Of
tie early history Of Delaware. and the work upon
winch he has been engaged for long time, and
@L!eh is nov partially published, does credit to
h.iA, and Is valuable addition to the historical
collections, not only OF this State, but Of the
country, generally.
We do no more than express tile desire Of
many citizens, therefore, in saying that Mr. Vim.
cent ought to receive, by appointment or clec.
'lnn, the advantage Of position in the service
g the community, such as his qualifications lit
I'm for a place may not be at once open. but
regard should be had to the claims and qualca-
tons of Mr., Vincent, and the public feeling in

n'y to give linn such assistance.

Tornado i'm Massachusetts.

New England has never had SO severe
a tornado as that which swept over
Long Meadow and Wilbraham, Mass,
or Saturday morning last The wind
had been blowing the night before, and
the inhabitants thought no more of it
than other winds, but at early dawn
two winds seemed to come together and
their combined force was irresistible.
A man who heard the roaring and arose
to see what the matter was, caught
Glimpse Of his rail fences ascending
skyward like straws IN an ordinary
whirlwind. Grass was whipped clean
from the turf, fields of potatoes and
tobacco were utterly obliterated, huge
pine and naples twisted from their
trunks like corn stalks, and damage
created to the extent of $40, 600.

Prussia Nearly Sold.

The Paris Patrie says that some time
ago tie Prussian Government agreed
to sell all the French chassepots taken
during the war--having need OF the
money and not designing to use them
for its own armies-to political or
military parsonage from South Ameri-
ca. The bargain was concluded, and
all that remained to be done was some
formalities, when at the very moment
OF delivery the Prussian Government
suddenly changed It's mind ana broke
off the whole negotiations. At the
last moment the Berlin Cabinet learned
that in this affair the South American
was only IN intermediary, and THAT the
arms had been really purchased By
Russia.
