IRON CLADS.-The New York Herald
correspondent of the 9th instant says that
at a recent Cabinet meeting it was finally
decided that every iron clad of the navy
should be put in condition for immediate
service. The Secretary of War was also in
structed 70 make the coast defenses, par
ticularly on the Southern -caboard, as inn
pregnable as possible.
Information has reached the Navy De-
partment that Moro Castle, guarding the
entrance TO Havana harbor, is being rapid
ly strengthened, and that fifteen-inch
guns pointing seward are now being put
in position. The order to fit out so many
monitors at this time eXcites a suspicion
that trouble is imminent With Spain.

OF these States, the six New England
ones, may certainly be counted for the
Philadelphia nominee, with SO votes. SO
may Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota, with 81 votes, making in all 75.
Carl Schurz is good enough authority for
adding Ohio and Hin OILS to the list, with
43 votes, making lis. Besides these, we
think the Republicans may confidently
count on carrying alifornia, Arkansas,
Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska,
North Carolina, and South Carolina-52
votes, making total of 10. Among the
other States are New York, Pennsylvania
and Indiana, the carrying of any one of
which, in connection with those above
named, would give the election to the
Philadelphia nominee.-Cin. Gazette.

Brown and SchurZ.

The effort of Gratz Brown to deny his
bad treatment of Schurz and the bitter dis
appointment of the latter at the result of
the convention is all folly. The course
pursued by Judge Stallo, who entertained
Schurz, and who is recognized as one of
his most intimate friends, would satisfy
all doubling minds if anything else was
necessary. Samuel Bowles writes to the
Springfield (Mass.,) Republic0R in this
style:
My review and record of this notable
convention are not complete without re-
ference to it's distinguished leader and
President, the real master spirit of the
movement, whose first National Conven-
ton carried so severe a blow and sharp a
wound to him personally. The conduct of
Gov Brown, and its resultant nomination
Of Mr.. Greeley, were indeed sad surprise
and serious blow to Carl Schurz. Pledg-
ing In falteriug voice his support of the
nomination to the convention, he left II
weary with labor and sid in spirit for the
house of his friend, Judge Stallo. Enter
ing there circle of equally disappointed
friends, he said: az am overwhelmed and
discouraged There were no words
! of consolation or cheer to offer him, and o
sad silence reigned for few moments.
Then he turned IN the piano. and with his
master hand poured out his feeling through
one of Auber's most touching compost
lions. 1t seemed a. If the composers
thoughts had never been so fifty rendered
before, and tears filed the eyes Of the whole
company.

GREELEY ON GRANT.
what Horace Greeley Thought a" 1871 Of
President Grant. and why HE RECON-
mcntIcd Him for Reelection.

Extract from speech of Horace Greeley
made Thursday night, January 5, 1871, at
the reorganization of the Republican Cen
eral Committee of the State and county,
as published in the New York Tribune
GAS to the administration of General
Grant, / recognize no one as a Republican
who is not grateful for its judicious, ener-
getic and successful efforts to procure the
ratification of the 18th amendment, that
keystone of our political arch, whereby
the fruits of our great triumph over rebel
lion and slavery are assured and perpetu-
ated.
That the President has made some mis-
takes in appointments is obvious-it would
be strange, indeed, if one so inexperienced
in the conduct OF political affairs had
wholly escaped them. Whatever blame
may justly attach to this falls rightfully
on us, who took him from the head of the
army and made him ourcivil Chief Magis-
trate, fully aware that he had never voted
a Republican ticket, if, indeed, he had
voted at all. White asserting the right ofeUery
Republican to his fDltrdnlnleled choice for
neCt President until q nomination is made,
venture to suggest that General Grant
,0M be far better qualified for that mOH,en-
tous trust in 1872 than he ignS in 1868. Such,
gentlemen, are the ideas and convictions
which have impelled me to take my place
among you, and accept the responsibility
you have imposed upon me. Let us take
care to act with substantial unanImity,
and with such evident moderation and
fairness that our friends throughout the
State and the Union shall see and feel that
we are doing our utmost to unite and
strengthen the Republican party, and ami
mate it with well-grounded and sanguine
hopes of future triumphs.

THE DUTY OF A MoTHER.-She should
be firm, gentle, kind, always ready TO at
tend 10 her child. She should never laugh
at what he does that is cunning never al
low him to think of his looks, except to be
neat and clean in all his habits. She
should teach him 10 obey look 10 re-
spect those older than himself; she should
never make command without seeing it
performed in the right manner. Never
speak of a child's faults or foibles or repeat
his remarks before him. It's a sure way
to spoil child. Never reprove q child
when excited, nor let your tone of voice he
raised when correcting. Strive to inspire
love, not dread respect, not fear. Re
member you are training and educating q
soul for eternity.

EMERSON says "Do not hang n dismal
Iicture on your wall, and do not deal
with sables and glooms in your converse
ton" Bsecher follows with Away with
these fellows who go bowling through
life, all the while passing for birds of par
adise. He that cannot laugh and be gay
should look well to himself. He should
fast and pray until his face breaks forth
into light" Talmage then takes up the
strain "Some people have an idea that
they comfort the afflicted when they groan
over them. Don't drive hearse through
a mans soul. When you bind up brok-
en- bone of the soul, and you want splints,
do not make them of cast iron.n After
such counselings and admonitions lay
aside your long faces.

COME IN BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.

George ID. Prentice wrote many beautiful
things, but never anything more quietly beau
tiful than the following
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, come TO me oft,
When the white wings Of sleep
On my bosom lie soft.
Oh come when the sea,
In the moons gentle light,
Beats soft on the air
Like the pulse of the night
When the sky and the wave
Wear their loftiest blue,
When the dew's on the flower,
And the stars on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come and we'll stray
Where the whole year is covered
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is sweet
As the COO of the dove
And the gales are as soft
As the breathings of love-
Where the beams kiss the waves
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet lessons they teach.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
oh come and we'll fly,
Like two winged spirits
Oflove through the sky;
With hand clnsped in hand
On our dream-wings We'll go,
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are lending their glow;
And on the bright clouds we'll linger
OF purple and gold,
Till the angels shall envy
The bliss they behold

The supply and Price OF Coffee.

The New York bulletin, considering
the effect of the repeal of the coffee duty,
adduces some important facts bearing on
the present and future of the market 1t
says:
The stocks in the United States are now
all concentrated in the six leading ports;
the interior is utterly bare. But, owing to
the three cents duty still clinging to the
article, neither the second hand dealer nor
the retailers will buy any more than they
can help until they can purchase duty free
two months hence. The wholesale gro
GERS will no doubt endeavor to buy in bond,
thinking they can afford to lose interest,
storage, ETC., in prospect of being able to
buy cheaper now than after the first of
July. We are now on the eve of the dull
season i'm coffee, and must be prepared to
see quiet markets as normal condition
until after midsummer. If, however, the
wholesale houses take the hint thrown
out by the European merchants of an in
evitable higher ruling of values later on,
we may even during the present and next
month witness a good deal of animation
in the staple in this market"

A Historical Painting,

A picture which purports to represent
the marriage of Shakespeare and Ann
Hathaway, has lately come into the pos
session of Mr.. Malam, of Scarborough. Ia
the top corner, on the left hand, is the fol-
lowing legend:
Rare Lymninge with us dothe make appere'
The marriage of Anne Hathaway with William
SHAKESPEARE. IS.
Two figures are in the foregroud---a man
and woman, supposed by the owner to
be the father and mother of Anne Hatha-
way. The former weighs, in pair of
scales, some gold and silver lying on the
table, and the latter checks the process
by counting the links of Il chain Ia an
inner room, seen through doorway. the
marriage ceremony is going on. The
theory put forward is that the picture, if
not painted at the time of the event, was
executed early in the seventeenth century
when Shakespeare had become famous
The Athen8um questions whether this
debt be tenable. The two figures in the
foreground are probably portraits but
it seems doubtful whether the maria ge
group formed Il portion of the original
work and, even if it did, whether the
figures have not been altered They GER
tainly seem to have been considerably
touched. The work, will we believe, b e
submitted TO experts for examination.

Who was she 2 Where is she to be
found 2" cried Paul, forgetting to ask
whether the prophecies proved true or
not-and they were most ridiculously
absurd and untrue.
At No. 81 Poplar street said his
uncle, after several minutes hesitation.
"She was to be consulted only at
night. But that was several years
ago."
"I1 60 and see her tomorrow
night, said Paul He was more ner.

evening, and sat looking IN the fire for
long time.
The boy is ruined" sighed his
mother. Nothing will ever restore
him to common sense or usefulness. u
" 1t is long day until sunset" said
her brother, quoting his favorite pro
verb.
The next night Paul put on his over
coat Just after supper, and his last dollar
in his pocket. His uncle had not been
at home during the afternoon. Paul
kissed his mother good by once OF
twice.
Where are you going, my SOM"

gayly, as he ran out.
No. 81 Poplar street was soon found
1t was a narrow, dark entry, lighted b,
red lamp, which gave ghostly and
murderous light. Paul went up the
winding stairs, and found at the top a
door with a placard, on which was
printed with a common pen:

The Nackerei Fishery.

The catch of mackerel up to this
time, says the Cape Ann Mass. J Adver-
tlser, has not been more than two-thirds
that of last season. Whether the pre-
sent month will add materially to the
catch remains to be seen. Schooner
MiantOnomah, of Newburyport, recent
ly caught in her nets 140 barrels of
mackerel, and out of the lot only 35
barrels We're large enough to pay for
packing. The remainder, los barrels,
were thrown overheard. This waste
and destruction of mackere1 is one ser
lous objection against SEEMING. These
fish are among the most nervous ofanv
that swim, and the least con finement so
excites them that they keep in constant
motion and soon destroy themselves.
1t often occurs that a seiner will take
IN the nets from 500 to 1000 barrels of
mackerel, and as it is impossible for
them to take care of more than 100 bar
rels before the balance get so soft as to
be unfit for dressing, unless there hap
pen to be other vessels near, there is a
great waste. This has been the eyper-
Ience of many of the seiners this sea
son. The Grand Menan fishermen saw
that they have not had better fishing
for years than they are now having

An interesting fact has recently been
observed respecting the growth of CO.

ago Captain McGregor of the steamer
hliauea, moored a buoy in Kealakekua
Bay. Not long ago he was ordered to
hoist the anchor and examine the con-
dltlon of the chain. The latter. which
is a heavy two-inch cable, was found
covered with corals and oyster shells.
some of which are as large as mans
hand The larger coraIs measure A
inches In length, which represents
their growth during the period of two
years that the anchor and cable had
been submerged. The specimen which
we have seen shows the nature of its
formation by the little coral insects
more distinctly than any we have be-
tore examined. When taken out of the
water, it had small crabs oni it. A query
arises whether these crabs live on the
coral insects, or whether they simply
seek the branches of the coral for bro
lection. The popular supposition is
that corals are of extremely slow
growth. Here we have a formation
equal to more than seventeen feet in a
century,

Startling Developments.

A special from Columbus says: "Ir
twenty three and Il half minutes after the
trap on which John B lrclay stood had
fallen, his body was on the demonstrators
table at the Startling Medical College, in
the presence of Il number of physicians
and spectators. The galvanic ba,tery was
applied. An application to the spine caused
the SUBJECTS eyes to open and shut, and
the left arm tC raise to its full height, and
the fingers to open and shut rapidly. An
application of the wire to the face and neck
caused the various muscles to contract and
relax naturally. and to the horror of some
present, who really feared the subject was
about to live again. Several other equally
interesting tests were made The surgeons
examination aftcrward fully proved that
Barclays neck was not broken by the fall
of the trap, and that his death was caused
from asphyxia. The neck was neither
fractured nor distorted. There was a
rupture of the llgamenrs, between the first
and second civical vertebra, with liberation
of the vertebral vane But this did not
cause death in this case. There was pro-
baby no respiration after the body fell
from the trap. The right and left ventricles
OF the heart were filled with fluid blood
while there was much less than tie usual
quantity Of blood in the brain and lungs.
Five hours after death the hands were
made to contract by the use of electricity.
