ANDREW JACKSON AND HIS Sc
CRETARY

When Gen. jackson used to write biz
broadside editorials for The GIobe, Amos
Kendall was bis chief scribe and ainanuen-
sis. The General was better thinker than
his scribe, his scribe better writer than
be. He would lie down and smoke and
dictate bis ideas as we'll as he could express
them, and Amos Kendall would write a pa
ragraph and read it. That was not the
thing: many times the scribe would write
and rewrite again and again, and fail to
fetch compass of the meaning. At last.

Human Sympathy.

Speaking of friends-and not speaking
of the one or two, as it may happen, very
close acknowledgements good fortune
it is that most of US have no idea how
little our friends think of US. With all
our talk about human loneliness, we are
lonelier than we imagine. This strange
brutal element of selfshness, how impe-
rious it is, how often, in the best and ten
derst of us, it drives out thought or care
for others.
And you joined in the hymn at the morn
ing services yesterday, you were touched
by certain plaintiveness in your own
tenor you thought your friend, whosethumb
nestled against yours on the opened hymn
book, also noticed and was moved by it.
Bless you it was her own wailful alto,
| that started the tears in those gentle blue
| eyes.
hardly dare put it here in black and
| white-but it is true as truth-that while
there tender compassion for those upon
whom any great personal calamity has
fallen who are stricken, say, by fatal
disease, there is also-dim and unacknowl-
| edged and impotent it may be-some-
thing of the same inpatience and pitt
| less that causes certain wild beasts to
fall upon and rend their sick and crippled.
Our friend is well and prosperous-we shud
der at the fancy of any great trouble fall.
ing upon him it comes, and, though our
hearts go out in loving helpfulness, there
is just little cloud over that sympathy
partely due to our chasing him with
others in like manner afflicted. The indi-
vidual hardships seems to be trifie less
because well, it may be because there are
statistics of misfortune; just about SO
many people will become consumtive. just
about so many people will lose their limbs
by railroad accidents, just about so many
people must die this year.
o, that last and most pitiful accident ?
Have you not sometimes thought of your
self lying there "cold and quiet 2" have
you not pictured the roomful of sobbing
mourners the weeping procession bear
ng you to the grave 1t has seemed al
most worth the perilous passing for the
sake of such an agony of devotion. But
nv fliend, sincere as would be the grief,
not single human soul could send with
you the intimate, intense, all embracing
and constant sympathy for which you
learn Scribnsr's TOR June.

Something About Horace.

The correspondent of the Chicago
Times sent this dispatch to that paper
since the nomination.
Cincinnati, May 3.-This congre-
CATION of conglomerate elements has
finally achieved the biggest joke of the
nineteenth century. 1t has put thirty
millions of people into broad grin at
tho supreme righteousness of the move
which the nomination brought forth.
The mouths of the whole nation spread
In one monstrous guffaw which the
nomination Of the sage Of Chappaqua
for President of the United States
produces upon everybody here. l
venture to say there is not one man
of average common sense who came
here to attend the convention who has
the slightest idea that Ell. G. will ever
be President. The very men who NOM
mated him have no idea he can be
elected, and do not pretend that they
have. The almost universal express
ION is that the nomination of Greeley
renders it sure that the Democrats will
nominate, and | think the majority are
glad of it. This furnishes the real
explanation of Greeley's nomination.
The Union Reform convention at
Mozart Hall repudiated the Chappaqua
candidate, and talk of calling another
dominating convention. The Volks-
freund and Anzeiger, two German
Democratic papers, here denounce the
action as fasco. and will not support
Geeeley. The most common criticism
among anti-Grant Republicans and
Democrats here, is that the Cincinnati
convention has thrown the whole thing
away.

Ostrich Farms.

The raising of the ostrich in tame
state for it's feathers is now carried on ex
tensvely in Africa. The birds are kept
in Enclosures, and fed on lucerne, with
which the Enclosure is planted. Every
eight months they are plucked, some ex-
tracing the quill &C once, and others cut
ting the quill little above its insertion
and then removing the roots couple Of
months later. The latter method is said
to give better results with less injury tc
the bird. The yield is about fifty dollar,
per annum for each bird.
In breeding it is found to be best to allow
one female to each male, though in wild
state five females are often attached to a
single male There are usually two
broods in a year, and the male and fe-
male sit on the eggs by turns, the male
generally taking the largest share of this
duty. The female takes chief charge of the
brood after it is Matched. The young are
reared on chopped lucerne, and as they
get older little grain is given them
they require abundance of water, and 4
liberal supply of pulverized quartz and
small bones. When grown no food suit.

WEsLEY's OUTDOOR PREACHING. Almost
inaccessible to WEAKNESS or physical plan
he made his way over hill, moor, and arid
mountains, often frozen by the chill blasts
and thickening SHOWS of the uplands, OF
shivering amidst the Scottish mists YET
storm and frost never checked his ardor
never would he forget or pass over his APP
pointment to preach. He passed
on will: the resolution of Caesar over
dangerous roads, through inclement wea-
ther, and often rose, hoarse with cold and
worn with travel, to speak to the anxious
tbrongs who awaited his coming yet he
relates that as he spoke his physical pains
would disappear, his vigor return, and q
genial ardor restore his feeble frame to un-
precedent strength. Sometimes he preach
cd while the fierce winds and autumn;
frost PASSED unnoticed over his attentive
people more than once the rain descended
and the lightning played while he des-
cribed the triumphs of faith. Over his
immense audience Wesley exerted a sin
gular influence, that was almost unknown
to Whitefield or his followers /; his calm
and thoughtful rhetoric produced results
that might seem appropriate only to the
most impassioned eloquence. Sobs and
cries broke from the stearnest breasts !;
strong men fell down in commissions Of
grief and despair. The room where he
preached was often filled with loud outcries
and Wild exclamations women fell into tram
ces and groveled in the dust; and these
"stricken cases." as they were termed,
formed so marked trait of new improve
ment as to excite the reprobation of the
cold and eensorious and startle the philo-
sophical. But Wesley saw in these sin
gular occurrences the natural struggle for
a new life, and he, at last, was not a2pal-
led when his vast audience was shaken as
if with mighty wind. when wild sobs
and shouts Of agony passed over the throng
and they fell groveling on the earth for
they believed that the spirit of God was
moving them to repentance. Nor IN any
period of strong religious excitement
when Savonarola preached and Bernard
prayed-have similar traits of deep emo
ton been unobserved. Eugene Lawrence,
