Political Note..

1t has been claimed that Hon. George Fogg,
editor of the Concord N. II. Monitor and States
man, and Hon. Mason W. Tappan, were inclined
to be Greeleyites. Mr.. Fogg denies this with
emphasis in behalf of both gentlemen.
Some of the careless politicians have an.
nOunced that this gentleman is soon TO come
out publicly for Greeley, but this his friends
deny. They declare that the result of the Gin
cnnati convention was the most serious disap-
pointment of his political life, and that he
frankly declares this to be the case.
The New York World publishes extracts
from ninety-two democratic papers opposing the
endorsement of Mr.. Greeley at Baltimore. 1t
had previously Published extracts from over
forty Pennsylvania papers to the same effect.
This does not look like hearty endorsement on
the part of the democrats.
An exchange, in commenting on Mr.. Gree
ey's judgment, says: "He has the same sort of
judgment that makes some people at fire
throw mirrors and babies ont of q third story
window and carry the poker down carefully.
If Greeley was ever wrecked on canal boat he
probably did his level best to swim ashore on
cooking stove"
Horace Greeley is still chopping away among
the trees at Chappaqna. 1t is supposed he is
preparing timber for the Baltimore platform.
The Kenebec Journal says "there is no Gree
ley stock in Maine worth mentioning, outside of
the democratic party. The Tribune is being re-
pudatcd in all quarters. The packages coming
in proportion since Greeley was nominated"
The Galveston (TeXas) News (democraticl,
having shown disposition to accept the Gin
cinnati nominations, is rebuked by a CORE
Spon1ent in this curt style 81 do not wish to
be understood as iavoring Grant; but | wish to
say that between Greeley and Grant democratic
allegiance will be absolved."
The New York Commercial Advertiser, re-
marking on the significant fact that recent
breakfast party at the New York Hotel was
composed of August Belmont, Horace Greeley,
James S. Thayer and Benjamin Wood, pro-
pounds this query; elias Tammany sold out
to Greeley or has Greeley sold out to Tammany
WhchP
The Louisville COurier-Journal having stated
that "Greeley had sent to Gen Leslie Combs OF
Lexington bunch of fine asparagus, from his
farm at Chappaqua, as token of his esteem for
the old pioneer" the Indianapolis Journal
cruelty remarks A demiiohn of Bourbon
might travel thousand miles from Combs to
Greeley without losing its strength or flavor,
but only Kentucky mule would tackle bunch
of wilted asparagus that had travelled thousand
miles by rail By November, however, Greeley
will be worse wilted than the asparagus"

CoLERIDGE's OPINIONS OF OTHER Az
THoRs.-I think Old Mortality and Guy Man
nering the best of Scotch novels.
1t seems to my ear, that there is a sad want of
harmony in Lord Byron's verses.
Goldsmith did everything happily.
Measure for Measure is the single exception to
the delightfulness of Shakespeare's plays 1t
Is hateful work, although Shakespearean
throughout.
Burke's essay on the Sublime and Beautiful
seems to me poor thing; and what he says
upon Taste is neither profound nor accurate.
Luther is, in part, the most evangelical writer
/ know, after the apostles and apostolic men.
| must acknowledge, with some hesitation,
that think Hooker has been little over cred
tied for his Judgment.
Berkeley can only be confuted or answered by
one sentence. So it was with Spinoza; his pre-
misses granted, the deduction is a cham of ada
mant.
IperceTe Orgen, jerome and Augustine to
be the great fathers in respect of theology, and
Basild, Gregory, Nazanzen and Chrysostom IN
respect of rhetoric.
it would take two or three Galileos or Newtons
to make one Kepler.
Newton's "Lubrications on Daniel and the
Revelations" seem to me little less than mere
rayng.
Drayton is a sweet poet; Daniel is superior
man.
Schiller is thousand times more hearty than
Goethe oethe's small lyrics are delightful.
Gibbons style is detestable; but his style is
not the worst thing about him.
| take unceasing delight in Chaucer. His
manly cheerfulness is especially delightful TO me
in my old age.

The two evening papers OF Hartford agree
that the presidential campaign will be the most
sOodnatured political contest the nation has
seen for years. Everybody will be as funny as
he can, jokes win abound and the spirit who
marshals the forces on either side and summons
fhe contending hosts to battle is
'Mrth, that wrinkled care derides,
And laughter, holding both his sides /"
80 says the Times. The Post accepts the
prophecy and adds that there is really no great
difference between the parties, and whoever
wins, the republic is safe; for the first time in
twenty yesrs there is no crisis; the only positive
issue is made by few free trade folks, and
"who's going to get mad about question of
political economy" 1t would be delightful to
see brethren thus dwell together in unity, but
We are not so sangulne as they are in Hartford,
and fear this foretaste of the millennium
viii rot come in our time. That there is no
noed of acrimony in our present political con
test is freely admitted. II is true, however, now
~ always, that personal controversy is gener-
ally more bitter than one where principles are
AZ issue, and the more nearly any political
struggle approaches to strife between persons
Fhsieau vi PoiIclesi Tue more malignant ana un-
scFupuous are the methods of warfare. As the
present canvass has more than usual of the per-
Ecual clement, we do not expect to see very
remarkable outflow of good feeling, and we are
not surprised to find already, especially in the
New York press, more bitter words and persist
sat mutual disparagement than have been usual
even in the papers of that city, which are not, as
general thing, models of temperate and digni
1ed discussion.

A BRoTHER's SACRIFICE Our readers will
remember burglary which took place some
weeks since, in which two brothers, Charles and
Joseph Aman, while in state of intoxication,
broke into the house of Mr. w. R. Grant, and
stole therelrom some sixty dollars worth of
property Both parties were arrested, and at
the recent term of the court of common pleas
arraigned for trial. Joseph is Young man.
aged nineteen, Charles about twenty-one, the
latter having young wife and one child. From
the first, Charles wife has made every endeayor
to procure his release, deyoting herself to the
work with the most untring zeal Finally, in
response to her repeated solicitations the prose-
cutting attorney, whose heart is always open TO
appeals of humanity, agreed not to prosecute
her husband for burglary, providing the
younger brother would plead guilty. 10
the surprise of every one the young man
agreed to this, and accordingly, upon arragn-
meDt, Joseph pleaded guilty TO petit lar
ceny. When questioned as to his purpose in
doing so, he sgnified his entire willingness to
suffer the penalty for the sake of his brother.
This reply, unexpected as it was, yet given in a
firm, unshrinking tone of voice, completely UNI
manned the judge, and when he came to pro-
lounce the sentence of three years impriSon-
ment in the penitentiary his voice completely
failed him, and his eyes filled with tears of gem
uine sympathy. Nor was this expression of
sympathy confined to the Judge, members of the
bar and spectators alike being affected by the
scene. 1t was an incident which will be long
remembered by those who witnessed it. Though
the burglary was wholly inexcusableyet certain
eXtenuatlng circumstances to the case especial
ly with regard TO Joseph, combin ed to render
the act OF the young man a little piece of hero
| ism which elicits surprise il it does not challenge
| admiration. Akron Beacon, May %.

CuRfoS1tfEs OF AUSTRIAN ETIQUETTE
There are no people in the world so tied down
by rules OF presidents as the Vennesei fashion
and etiquette rule them with an iron rod, before
which they bow serviley Fashionable customs
are observed here as religious ordinances are in
bgoted countries. A fall from virtue is a mental
offense as compared with breach Of etiquette,
So, for instance it is fashionable and commend
able to drive in the prater all through the month
OF May, but "mauvaiS tom and not CONNIE il
fault TO be seen there in June. On fine after
noon the main avenue OF the prater will be
crowded with handsome equipageS OH the last
day of May, but on the first Of June, no matter
how bright and lovely the weather may, not a
single carriage will be seen along its entire
length. For no one is supposed to be in Vienna
on the first of June; those families which have
renamed in the capital to the very end of the
best month in the year are supposed to make
their escape in the night to their country seats.
Or if circumstances have prevented their doing
so they dare not advertise their presence in
town by taking the drive which was still fash
ionable twenty-lour hours earlier This is sober
fact, not exaggerated fiction In the same way
it is the height of fashion for ladies to ride in
the prater during the season, but no lady with
the slightest regard for appearances will ride to
or from the prater through the town. Her
horses must be sent on TO the park and she
must drive there and drive home again in her
carriage, And this Notwithstanding that right
through the city to within a few yards of the
entrance of the prater there is a riding alice,
kept in excellent order specially for equestrians.
Again, no officer of cavalry dare carry par
eel while in uniform, no matter how small it be,
book or even fan rolled up in paper, though
he may do so out of uniform; neither dare he
enter one horse cab, although he may drive
about in two horse vehicle to his hearts con-
tent. An officer of infantry or artillery, how
ever, whether in or out of uniform, may carry
what he pleases, and drive in whatever convey
ance suits him best. But then infantry officers
are out of the pale of fashionable society, while
bold dragons and gay hussars are its chief
ornaments.

The SEWER AssEssMENT.-In another col
umn, we print the report of the citizens COM
miftee on the sewer assessment question. Those
inclined to adopt the conrse recommended,
should understaadlthat they must give formal
notice to~ftis effect, previous TO the third of
siSune. They can have their assessments divid-
ed into five annual installments, to be paid in
five years, one installment each year with the
regular tax; but to make sure o. this method
of payment, they must give notice this week, as
the demand for payment may be made at any
time after this week. The law reads: "If any
owner of real estate which shall be assessed, &C.
desires to have the amount of said assessment
apportioned, he shall give notice thereof in
wiring to the mayor and aldermen of the city
of Worcester, at any time before demand Is
made upon him for the payment thereof
Whereupon it will become the duty of the
mayor and aldermen TO make the necessary ar.
engagements for having the assessment paid in
five insiallments. All concerned have received
notifications" but such a notification is NOT
what is meant by demand for payment The
formal demand will come on or after the third
of june
