The Founding Ticket.

All the original Jacobs of reform
have deserted the Cincinnati move
ment. The bantling that first opened
its eyes under the star-spsngled canopy
of the Exposition barn has been aban-
doned in disgust by its free-trade father
and its ivil-service-reform mother, and
is nursed only by the distant poor rela-
tons who have superstition that the
brat is a dauphin. Even these declare
that they can't do anything for the

Greeley as a Prophet.

At the reorganization of the New
York Republican General Committee
on The 9Th of January, 1871, Mr.. Gree
ley made speech from which we ex-
tract the following:
Z" AS to the administration of Gen.
Grant, | recognize no one as a Republi.
can who is not grateful for its .judicious,
energetic, and successful efforts to pro-
cure the ratification of the Fifteenth
amendment, the keystone Of our polit-
ical arch, whereby the fruits of our
great triumph over rebellion and slave.
ry are assured and perpetuated.
THAT the President has made some
mistakes in appointments is obvious
it would be strange, indeed, if one so
inexperienced in the conduct of politi-
cal affairs had wholly escaped them.
While asserting the right of every Re-
publican 10 his untrammeled choice OF
candidate for next President until a
nomination is made, venture to sug
gest that Gen. Grant will be far better
qualified for that momentous trust in
| 1872 than he was in 1868. Such, gen
! tlemen, are the ideas and conviction,
which have impelled me to take my
place among you, and accept the re
sponsibility you have imposed upor

Encounter With a Shark.

A recent number of the Honolulu
Gazette gives the following account of
the narrow escape of native Sandwich
Islander srom being devoured by a
shark
We learn from Kawaibae that about
two weeks since native Kahoio was
attacked by shark while on his way
from the shore TO the fishing ground in
the bay. The old man was going out in
a small canoe, which, by his weight,
was depressed in the water 30 that his
legs were but few inches above the
surface. He had just passed beyond the
reef and was padding along unaware of
any danger, when large and hungry
shark made break for him. The jaws
Of the ravenous fish closed upon the
mans thigh and the canoe, making a
hideous wound in the former, some
eleven inches long, and tearing the
flesh from the bone nearly half the cir
conference of the thigh, leaving it
hanging down in shreds as the teeth
drew away, and leaving in the wood of
the latter three or four teeth, broken
off. The man was nearly dragged out
of his canoe, and AT the same time was
almost swamped by the onset OF the fish,
which, disappointed of its prey, imme
diately disappeared. The old man,
though bleeding proiusely from his sew
eral wounds, was able to get his canoe
back to shore. thankful for escaping
with his life, and on landing received
from Nj. Chillingworth and his native
neighbors whatever help they were

we hear that the wound is doing well,
and that the old man is in a fair way OF
recovering. The teeth that remained
in the canoe were two inches across the
line where broken, thus indicating a
shark of unusual size as well as strength.
The accident has caused the natives OF
Kawaibae to regard the placid waters
of their bay as somewhat more unsafe
then they have heretofore been con-
sidered to be-"

AMERICAN LADIES MoBBED IN EDIN.
BURGH.-On Sunday evening three Ia
dies from America left the Royal Hotel,
Edinburgh, about S o'clock, to see
Holyrood Palace. They went on foot
without escort, and returned by the
Canongate and High street. Here their
hesitation as to the route, their fashion
able attire. and the lateness Of the
hour, 1T being nearly 9 clock, attracted
the notice Of some iders, who followed
them up the street. AT the north bridge
the listeners to q street preacher joined
in the crowd, making upa considerable
mob. No noise was made or violence
offered, and two policemen escorted the
ladies till cab could be procured. The
ladies were then driven 10 their hotel,
but tn crowd hung about for some
time. Yesterday the two senior mags-
trates, after causing a strict investiga-
tson to be made called at the hotel, and
found that two of the ladies had left
town, but they were satisfied the mob
had been attracted by their unusual APP
pearance in the locality at so late an
hour, and that no insult was intended

Training War Horses.

In training the Prussian war horses,
a sieve of oats held before young
hot se's nose while pistol is fred over
its head, accustoms and reconciles it to
the sound of firing. The kindness with
which the horses are treated is most
remarkable and any man caught strik
ing or otherwise maltreating a horse
may make sure of getting from two to
three weeks imprisonment. A CORE
spondent adds the following curious
particulars of this branch of Prussian
administration "All the young horses
OF the present year bore some name
beginning with R-Regulus, Reinette,
RUNE, Ro ierich, Romeo, Robinson, for
instance and, in fact, the letter r is
kept exclusively for the remounts of
1870. The system Of identifying horses
of a particular year by the initial of
their names was introduced twelve
years ago, when all the hve-year.olds
received at the depot were called by

that 9, the initial of so few proper

A New Attraction for Niagara.

Among the sensations they propose to
open the summer season with at Mag.
ara Falls is grand buffalo hunt. The
fashionable city people who spend the
season at the falls desire TO get a
glimpse of Far Western prairie sports !;
therefore that Buffalo chase was con.
ceived. They sent out 10 Nebraska for
the live bufialoes, which they propose
TO convey to Niagara Falls in cars, and
then have a party of Pawnee Indians, in
aboriginal costume, hunt the buffaloes
down.
A dispatch was received here yester-
day, stating that seven bufialoes had
been captured south of North Platte, a
distance of about fifty miles. Six of the
seven died, having been exhausted in
the operation of being run down.
If those city sports want to see gen.

No INSANITY is more violent or unrea.
sonable than that which sometimes
overpowers people in sudden panic.
A singular instance of the effect of
yielding to the excitement of sudden
fright recently occurred in the Roman
Catholic cathedral at Dublin. Dur nc
a crowded service some globes Of the gas
brackets were knocked off. The crash
of the falling glass led the people to
believe that the windows were being
broken, and cry was raised that the
cathedral was attacked from outside.
An alarm of "Fire ~ was also raised,
and serious panic ensued. The clergy
men present managed to allay the ex
element TO a certain extent, but not
before large numbers had rushed from
the cathedral, tumbling over each
other, and had scaled the wall of a
neighboring garden in which the owner
happened to be walking. One would
suppose that the panicstricken crowd
might here have paused; but with in.
sane violence they rushed upon the un.

have carried their threats into execution.

The people of Virginia lately voted
upon proposed amendment to the con-
stitution concerning usury, and the re.
turns show Tat they have ratified it by
a very large majority. Its purport is
that it shall be lawful to receive any
rate of interest, not exceeding II per
cent. per annum, which may be agreed
upon by the original parties and speci-
fed in the note, bond or other writing
evidencing the debt. The motive of
the amendment is doubtless to attract
capital to that State for investment, and
it may be safely predicted that such
will prove to be its effect.
