Ancient and Modern wealth.

Some one having been telling of
Mr.. Loder, in London, who died
lately, and left the enormous fortune
lof S75,O 100000, as of the gorgeous
monument of the Rhode Island
Spragues, which is to cost 100000,
and Of the wondrous wealth and
profusion of Tweed and Stewart and
other shoddy magnates and million
airs, the Richmond Inquirer tells
us how people had big fortunes, and
built fine houses, and give dinners,
and drank fine wines, and spent in
other ways in the olden times, ere
Loder was or Stewart named. Thus
lit is that the Inquirer takes the shine
out of the nineteenth century:
"Why, what is Tweed, or Stewart
or Loder of Belmont, or the Roth
schilds, or the Marquis Of West
minister, to Rtolemy Philadelphia
Of Egypt, who amassed little prop
ertv Of $35O,OOO,OO0? And which o,

worth 100000? That's half the ex-
penses of Miss Tweeds wedding at
dash, and would dress one Of our
Baltimore and Washington bells for
forty wears. Then there was Pau
lima, one of the ton in Rome, who
used to wear jewels, when she re-
turned her visits, worth $800,000.
Well. they boast of Mr.. Stewards
marble palace" in Thirty-fourth !
Street and Fifth Avenue. We do not
suppose that this house, which is
about the best they have in New
York, cost more than half million |
dollars. Well, Cicero, who was
poor man, gave $l50,000 for his
house, and Clodius paid $65O,000 for
his establishment on the Palatine
while MESSIAH gave $2,0O0,000 for
the house of Anthony. Seneca, who |
was just a plain philosopher like Mr..
Greeley, was worth S12,oOO,OOO.
Why they talk about a mans failing
in New York for a million as if it
was a big thing. Caesar, before he
entered on any ofiice-When he was
a young gentleman in private life
owed $I4,0OO,OO0 and he purchased
the friendship of Quesor for 81, ,5OO,- |
900. Mark Anthony owed $780,
300 on the Ides of March, and he
paid it before the Kalends Of March.
This was nothing-he sqandered

And these fellows lived well.

ist like Alex. Stephens, JEFF Davis
and Wade Hampton, republish Hor-
aces editorial, "Let the Wayward
Sisters Go in Peace" If this don't
satisfy them that our candidate il
sound on secession, read them the
sentiment which Mr.. Greeley wrote
IN 1850: 'L any respectable number
Of the citizens Of a State desire to
secede from the Government I kzsoa0
Of knol0 pOlOer B1hick can or ouqht
TO restrain theDa." That will satisfy
any reasonable secessionist that in
case Mr.. Greeley becomes President
he can walk straight out Of the Union
without being troubled by such men
as General Grant.
4. To the lovers Of Peace say that
our candidate went to Niagara Falls
TO treat with Jake Thompson and G.
=. Clay in regard to acknowledging
the Independence of the South, and
tnat he came back and wrote adYis-
ing Lincoln after Harrison's Land
ing, to make peace upon the best
attainable terms" but
To the war men talk about Mr..
Greeley's son to Richmond"
8. Fool the editors into believing
that Horace is q great farmer, and
Make the farmers believe that he
is a great editor. Neither will sus-
pect the dodge.
6. Prove to the MormoDs snd the
people of the Oneida Community
how our candidate was once a Foari-
erite, and that he leaned toward and
wrote for freeloveism for years, but
To sensible married people say
that Mr.. Greeley is regularly married,
and that he can show his certificate
Of marriage any time in the Tribune
Office.
Z. To the cold water people tell
the story how our candidate lived
for Yeas on vegetation, such as cab
bage, turnips, and squashes, without
mouthful of meat, but
To the high liyers say that every
body, from Dean Richmond down to
Lord Gordon, bave bought him with
free lunch, and that a good beef
steak would buy a foreign minister
ship.
8. To orthodox religionists say
our candidate belongs to the Uni
versalist Church, but
To the world fellows say that he
swears like a trooper, and damns
everybody in common conversation
like a Flanders soldier.
8. To the Officeholders say Mr..
Greely never declined an office, that
he has run for Office eleven times,
but has always been defeated, and
that he split off from his best friends,
Weed and Seward, because they did
not give their "junior parner" the
New York post-office, but
To the ''outs" say-why say Hor-
ace .hever held an Office in his life
that he wouldn't; but don't draw
this dodge too strong, for they
might look up his old letter to
Seward, and
Don't say a word about Jay
GOuld's presenting Horace with a
farm, nor tell how he was in the to-
bacco business with Tweed, but let
his enemies bring that out.
Always flourish Mr.. Greeley's
quotations. You will find they Gov
er both sides Of every question. If
they doubt your word, say "You lie,
Yillain-you lieP' To the specie
payment fellows read this:-

Chittenden and Webntsr.

In her life of her father, the late
Hon. ]. j. Chittenden, Mrs. Cole
man thus describes a visit which he
received from Daniel Webster:
In 1886, Mr.. Webster visited the
West and came from Lexington to
Frankfort to see Mr.. Chittenden.
He was his guest for some days at
that time, and received from the
yeomanry of Franklin County the
usual compliment paid to distin-
guished visitors in that locality ''a
barbecue" or, as it was called at
that time, "a bergoo." This was re-
garded as an unusually great occa-
sion, and extensive preparations
were made to do honor to Mr.. Web
ster. The men were rallied far and
wide, and a mighty gathering was
the result. The place honored by
by custom for this Kentucky festiv-
ity was about seven miles from
Frankfort, on the farm of Mrs. In
mis-, the mother of Mrs. Chittenden.
A romantic little stream called Ben
son wound about through the woods
near the house and in the dense for
est along its borders the Kentucky
host assembled. l can not explain
the origin of the word "bergoo;" the
feast differed from a barbecue" in
that it was more primitive. In
mense iron posts were kept on hand
in some secluded spot, ready for
such occasions, and each man was
expected to bring his own tin cup
and pewter spoon. 'Bergoos" were
always the order Of the day when
summer vegetables abounded; only
one dish was prepared, but it was
savory as the mess brought by Esau
to his father, the blind patriarch.
All the birds and squirrels round
about were shot, prepared, and
thrown indiscriminately into large
pots, then all the farms and gardens
in the neighborhood were put under
contribution, and young corn, toma-
toes, peas. beans-ln short, every
vegetable that could be found was
added. All this boiled away vigor-
ously till the salutations of the day
were over, family news told, and
kindly questions asked and answer
ed. The business of the day (which
was making speeches and listening
to them) concluded, then all pres
ent gathered around the steaming
pots, cup and spoon in hand, to re-
ceive their portion. don't remem-
ber that I ever tasted this famous
broth, but it perfumed the woods,
and know that every one "asked
for more" There was nc distinc-
ton of persons on these occasions,

THE ROYAL GUEST,
BY JULIA WARD HOWE.

They tell me am shrewd with other men;
With thee I'm slow and difficult of speech,
With others may guide the car Of talk;
Thou wing'st it Oft to realms beyond my
reach
If othHr guests should come I'd deck my hair,
And choose my newest garments from the
shelf;
When thou art bidden,I would olothe my heart
With holiest purposes, as for God himself
For them while the hours with tale or song
Or web Of fancy, fringed with careless rhyme
But how to find fitting lay for thee,
Who hast the harmonies of every timer
o friend beloved! sit apart and dumb
Sometimes in sorrow, oft in Joy divine;
Ny lips will falter, but my prisoned heart
Springs forth to measure its faint pulse with
thine.
Thou art to me most like royal guest,
Whose travels bring him to some loHly roof,
Where simple rustics spread their festal fare,
And, blushing,own that it is not good enough.
Bethink thee, then, whene're thou com'st to
me,
From high emprise and noble toll to rest,
My thoughts are weak and trivial, matched
with thine
But tho poor mansion offers thee its best.

How 20 sunport Greeley.

Eli Perkins sets forth. for the ben
eft Of the rural press the following
comprehensive schedule Of direc-
tions, as to- the most effective
methods of blowing for the Chow
candidate, in various localities:
1 am for Greeley!
The Commercial may not be for
him, but Eli Perkins is going to
support Horace.
We have nominated Mr.. Greeley
on the g-e-l-o-r-i-o-u-s Democratic
republican platform, and how my
friends we must elect him. Our can
didate is a man of great many
principles. He has been on both
sides of almost every political ques-
ton, and there is such q chance for
our orators!
Listen to me and I'll tell you how
we can elect Mr.. Greeley:
l. For the New England States, we
must instruct our orators to talk the
high tariff dodge. They must show
Mr.. Greeley's record, and point out
how he has always stood for the
highest protective tax on cloth, hoop
skirts, and oroide watches, and ia
vored keeping foreign cheap articles
out of the market. Then how the
Yankee manufacturer will go for
him, but
Out West you must lay low on
the tariff. You must say that Horace
has gone back on protection, and
that he don't care a darn about it, for
the Western fellows bate the New
England shoe e-makers like the devil.
They wouldn't vote for President
who would protect manufacturers,
for they are sharp as lightning out
there, and they know when they
wear the boots that if they didn't
pay for the protection whistle, they
would come a good deal cheaper.
Our Western orators must say that
Horace will leave the tariff question
to Congress-for you know well
enough that he is head and ears for
the present high rif,and that when
he is President he can veto any act
Of Congress to repeal it. The West
ern fellows will catch at this ambi-
guous dodge, and they all go for
Horace like political sheep.
2. To the respectable old slave
owners of the South, read Greeley's
old 1862 editorials about "Compen-
sation to Owners for Emancipated |
Slaves" but
That national slave-buying idea
would kill US with the old New Eng |
land Abolitionists. To them read
Mr.. Greeley's defense of John Brown |
his editorials on Sharpe's rifles for
Kansas slave owners-and say how
he stood for Owen Lovejoy. This
win take such men as Gerrit Smith,
Fred. Douglass and Mr.. Beecher.
3. For the old Southern secession !

THE eUELPHs.
The English Royal Family's History.

The learned in the remote antiaui-
ties are accustomed to say that
Queen Victoria is descended from
the hero Walden, Of whom the Morse
men made a god, and who gave his
somewhat ungracious name to our
modern day Wednesday. An Ital-
ian adYenturer, named Azon d. Este,
engaged his sword in the service Of
the Emperor Conradt towards the
close Of the eleventh century, and
founded the House Of Hanover by
marrying Cunegunda of Guelph,
a very wealthy woman. He dropped
his own name and was henceforth
known as Guelph. Their son mar
ried the widow Of the Earl of Kent
the Brother of Edward the Con-
fessOr, and these found much favor
in the eyes of Henry the Fourth,
who took away OthO of Saxony's
Bavarian possessions and gave them
to the newly married pair. Lucky
marriage brought this enterprising
family higher and higher, until one
of the sons married a daughter of
Henry the Second. King of Eng
land, who succeeded in getting her
father to give her husband the
countships of Brunswick and Luen-
berg. These countships became
duchies under Ohio the Fourteenth,
and William of Guelph became a
Duke. The GueIphs were fettered
through a variety of marriages until
they came to the seven sons Of the
great grandfather Of George the
First, King Of England. Those
sons all dukes, we're each entitled to
a share Of his possessions. But in
order not to split up the family cor
onet the brothers made a solemn
compact that only one Of them
should make legal marriage. This
would make the autonomy Of the
house complete, andthe compact was
adhered to- The sixth son was the
one who contracted the legal mar
riage, and his eldest son married the
granddaughter of James the First,
thus clearing the way for an alliance
with the crown of Great Britain.
The house of Hanover owes its ex-
istence on English soil to day to
judicious matchmaking" This son
obtained the title Of Duke of Han
over, and, as his father had done,
prevailed on his brother to devote
himself to celibacy.' But a morgan
attic marriage, contracted with Eleo-
nora d'Albrense, a French refugee
from Louis Fourteenth's TYRANNY,
has always been a thorn in the side
of the Hanover dynasty. A da0gh-
ter by this marriage became the
wife of George the First, and every
1ne remembers the story Of the cruel
manner in which she was treated,
and how her old schoolfellow who
tried to defend her when she fed the
cruelty of her husband, was assas-
sinated. On her deathbed she sum-
moned her tyrant to answer for his
crimes at the bar Of God before g
year passed. He went to find his
udge within. that year. The NOR
yanatic marriage did as much to en-
)arrass the house of Hanover IS the
'ormer artful alliance had done to
,xalt and enrich it. 1t the death Of
King William the Fourth the crown
vas separated from that Of Great
Britain, as a law prohibits women
rom ascending the Hanoverian
hrone.
