to the door, and was almost paralyzed
with fear at discovering an enormous
eagle sailing around the child in grace
full eddies, each circuit bringing it nearer
its victim. Quickly comprehending the
situation, she rushed from the door and
clasped her darling in her arms. While
carrying the child to the house, the eagle
hotly contested the right of possession,
and twice approached near enough to
the child to touch its flowing hair with
its beak. But Mrs. Decker defended her
child, and succeeded in taking il to the
house uninjured.

suggestive Precedents.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There are those who tell us that if the
Cincinnati nominees, Messrs. Greeley
and Brown, are indorsed by the National
Convention at Baltimore, they will not
receive anything like the Democratic
vote. This is all bosh. The Democracy
are loyal to their organization, and will
stand by the banner which it displays.
When General S. f. Cary, who had been
conspicuous Republican, was taken up
for Congress in the Second District Of
Hamilton county, in 1861, by the Demo
Gratis, as an independent Republican,
the same cry was heard, "The Demo
Gratis viii not vote for him." A
straight-out Democratic candidate
was brought out against him, but, after q
bitter canvass, he received but l2O
votes in the district, and General Cary
was elected by 1000 majority in a dis
trict where the Republican majority in
the previous election had been 2700.
There was an instructive common sense
and native sagacity which dictated the
support of General Cary, which we shall
see manifested this fall for Mr.. Greeley.
What was done in Hamilton county on
a small scale we shall see repeated on
the larger theater of the United States.
Wiseacres said the Democrats could not
be brought to vote for Senter in Tennes-
see, or Gratz Brown in Missouri, or
Walker in Virginia, but they did it with
a viii. They are abundantly satisfied
with their exertion in those States, and
desire to see il repeated elsewhere.

the auspices of the Liberal Republicans. +"
1t was now nearly seven o'clock, and
Mr.. Stevens, who had made an appoint
ment, was compelled to leave.
When all his visitors had gone, Mr.
Greeley left the Office and started for q
friends house in Stuyvesaut place. In
answer to inquiries it was ascertained
that after to-day Mr. Greeley will very
rarely be at the Tribune office. but will
spend the greater portien Of his time at
the headquarters of the Liberal Repub-
lican Club Committee, at Lincoln Hall.
His office is almost crowded to repletion
with engravings and oil-paintings Of
himself, sentin by persons residing out OF
the city. In one corner Of the room there
are nearly thirty boxes, from the differ
ent hatters in the city, each containing
white hat. They have come in so fast
that Mr.. Greeley has distributed them to
the employees in the building. The com
postors must have come in for good
share, as the majority of them, as they
passed to the composing.room last even
ing, were crowned with white hats.

Here's 90 voorhees,.

From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican,
That the great body of the Democratic
party, North and South, East and West,
are ready to acquiesce in Mr.. Greeley s
nomination and support it at the polls,
seems very evident. That respectable
minority will reject it, end most likely
vote for Grant in preference, is also
probable, and, TO our view, very desira-
BILE. The reform movement in politics
would lose large portion of its value If
it did not, in more or less degree, divide
all present parties and all present classes
of our voters We welcome, therefore,
Mr.. Voorhees, demonstration against
Greeley and his preference for Grant.
1t is one of the healthiest signs of this
revolutionary year. 1t is Of more conse-
quence that the Democratic party should
go to pieces, and leave no sign of its old
power, no token of its continued exist
ence, than that Mr.. Greeley should be
elected President. General Grant de-
serves a good many more of the votes Of
the old Democratic party than he will
get But for every one that he does get
he will lose two Republican votes. The
more extensive the change the healthier
will be the results of the campaign, the
more thoroughly will be buried the issues,
the prejudice and passions Of the past.

Henry County, TENNESSEE, |
Mov1Q 1879

1
Henry County, TENNESSEE,
May Is. 1872. !
To the Editor Of the Ledger:
After pleasant morning ride Of seven
hours employed in reading the daily
papers and talking with friend or so),
you find yourself clear off from our
dusty city, and up at Springville depot,
on the Memphis and Louisville railroad,
and stepping out Of the car, the Springs
hack and sleek team are ready TO take
you over, by a shady ridge road, in forty
or fifty minutes, to this place Of wonder
full waters, large shades and beautiful
grounds-a step, as it were, from Mem
phis, and yet away up in the Tennessee
river hills, and away out in the country.
And you are here, in time, too, for a
hearty draught Of the cold, sparkling
white sulphur, liberal mineral bath,
such as no other springs have the volume
Of water to afford, and a good, round
country dinner, such as this abundant
county Henry supplies. You will
think of us eating nice spring chickens,
squirrels, fish, fresh yellow butter, made
the same morning, eggs, mutton, beef,
fruits, vegetables, ETC., with cool (un-
watered) milk, and these prepared by a
superior steward and his corps, engaged
for the season; and board but thirty dol
lars per menth, or ten dollars per week.
So many were turned away for want
of room last year, that the present les
sees have been and are working like
beavers, making large and comfortable
additions to accommodate some hun.
dreds of visitors, including large and
airy dining-room, and more cold and hot
baths. Altogether, the beautiful green
park on the ridge by the great artesian,
presents the appearance of a little vii
lage Near by, some two hundred and
fifty steps, and overlooking these
grounds, is the Family Park, laid out
on the wooded slope of the Mountain,
and divided into small lots on each side
of broad avenue for family summer
cottages, which here may be built for
little over $780, The use of these lots is
donated to proper families, and using
them, boarding at the hotel, they save
half the little expense of living here,
and have their own neat, permanent
quarters or rooms from year to year.
Many of our best citizens have lots in
this park.
While the hammer is still ringing all
round the public park, visitors are COM
ing in. On Monday, the goth, the pro-
prietors start their daily hacks to meet
the morning trains at Springville, but
really desire little company till the first
of June, as they are busy finishing up
the improvements, getting in their new
furniture, etc., etc.
We are expecting here, this year,
most delightful season, and are glad to
hear that your own cheerful face viii be
smiling among us.

HOW THEY TALK.
A Few Remarks Caught by Jenkins
at q Fashionable Festival.

at q Fashionable Festival.
There was grand ball at Kansas
City the other night, and "Lardoil," OF
the Times, wrote tup. Instead of going
around to the front entrance of the hall
and mixing with the throng, he threw
open the window of the sanctum, and
quietly recorded what he saw and heard.
The balcony was a favorite resort for
cooling couples, for ladies in distress, for
secret meetings, for private appoint
ments, etc. In the background was the
brilliantly lighted hall from which came
waited across the alley the dulcet strains
Of the band, the loud cries of the promp-
ter yelling alamanleft," sacheay all,
swing ETC., and amid and mixed up with
all this confusion Lardoil was ena-
bled to distinguish the following choice
chitchat, which he presents as a genuine
sample of fashionable conversation:

John Mitchell ON GreeIey-Again.
From the Irish Citizen.l
On the whole, we are willing to risk
the four years with Mr.. Greeley. He
has opinions, if some of them be
crotchets, yet they are his own; he has
large sympathies, as wide as the conti-
nent, and would certainly seek to pro-
mote a system and policy of justice and
fair play. 1t is said that he is man too
apt to tolerate wild theorists and even
impostors, and to place himself to q
great extent in their hands; impostors
with lofty brows and ong-howing locks
and eyes in fine frenzy rolling, who cul-
tivate those picturesque traits to make
the good man believe in their genuine
enthusiasm. Well, the editors sphere,
and his instrument, were somewhat diff
ferent from those of the President. Mr..
Greeley in the White House would feel
a different kind of responsibilities upon
him, and would necessarily gather
different sort of men about him, from
Mr.. Greeley in the Tribune office; and
the long-haired men coming in there, if
they pretend to any concern with public
business, would probably have to get
their hair cut, and even to wash their
faces. AT any rate, the contrast be-
tween this keen, intellectual Greeley
and the "lubben-fend Grant is so
striking and so pleasing that if the
country cannot give us real Demo
cratic President-and it cannot-then
we call for Greeley with all our might
