A Good Description of Gree
lev.

The Chicago Tribune now support:
Greeley. 1t is not so very long since
the present editor wrote of him editor
tally as follows:
Horace Greeley is not now, and never
has been man who ought to be trusted
with an official position requiring prac-
tical wisdom, ordinary craftsmanship,
or firm consistent action. For twenty
five years he has been a marplot in
council; an unreliable commander in
action a misanthrope in victory, and a
riotOus disorganizer in defeat. He has
always been fanaticaI in his demands
for the EXTREMIST measures, and when
the party has reached the eve of tri-
umph invariably thrlsts himself for
ward as negOtiator of terms of sur
render to the enemy. His course during
the war was but repetition of his
course i'm politics. In 1862 he was an
open defender of secession; he changed
to vigorous champion of the war, and
thereafter was forever recklessly max
ing propositions for peace, and as reck-
lessly Withdrawing them, making war
in spite of Mars, and negotiating in
spite Of Minerva. For twenty years he
has been an uncompromising advocate
for square fight with the pro-slavery
party, and when that kind of a fight
was forced upon the Republicans in
1850 he was here, in Chicago, voting not
for Lincoln or for Chase, but for old
Edward Bates, of Missouri, one of the
fossils of the slave party. He was then
the associate and co-laborer of that im-
practicable and unreliable squad, the
Blair family. The country at this time
wants no inspired harlequins in its ma
tional councils.

Down Among the Dead Men

Everybody who visits Rome goes to
the Church of the Capuchini, and visits
the cemetery in the basement, which is
one of the most tasteless and at the same
time curious objects to be seen in Rome.
The vaults are decorated with human
bones and skulls, and about thirty COM
plete skeletons lie on couches of bones
covered by canopies of the same mate
rial. The walls and ceilings are artis-
tically ornamented with vertebre and
smaller bones, and pendant from the
ceiling are chandeliers and even hang
ing baskets composed entirely of bones.
For hundred years all the friars of
this order have been buried in this cell
lar, which contains room for about fifty
graves, and when a new death takes
place the one that has been longest in
possession of his six feet of earth must
give it up for the new claimant, and
takes his place among the bone piles of
his predecessors. The price of admis-
sion for party is one franc, and the re-
ceipts are a source of great income to
the church. Since the overthrow of the
Papal government this interment has
been stopped, and the Capuchins who
hereafter die are compelled to take their
chance of being found when wanting
among the rest of humanity in the out
of-doors cemetery. The bone exhibi-
tion is allowed to continue, and an en-
terprising daguerreotypist was engaged
recently in taking views of each of the
sixty chambers into which the cemetery
is divided. They will make ghastly
pictures.

The Poetry of the Table.

In the first place, starched and
smoothly ironed table cloth-which, If
neatly folded after every meal, will look
well for several days. Then flowers
and ferns in fiat dishes, baskets, or
small vases, or else tiny nOsegay laid
upon every napkin.
| The salt must be pure and smooth.
The butter should be moulded into criss
cross diamonds, shells or globes, with
the paddles made for this purpose.
A few pretty dishes will make the
plainest table glow; a small bright
cOlored platter for pickles, horse radish
or jelly; and butter plates resembling
green leaves, are also attractive.
A few pennies worth of parsely or
cress, mingled with small scraps of
white paper, daintily clipped, will
cause plain dish to assume the air of
French eRtree. A platter of hash may
be ornamented with an edging of tOas-
ted or fried bread cut into points; and
a dish of mutton chops is much more
impressive with the bones stacked as
soldiers stack their guns, forming pyr-
amid in the center, each bone adorned
with frill of cut paper. A few slices
of lemon, mingled with sprigs of pars-
ley and slices of hard boiled eggs, from
4 pretty garnish to many dishes and
nothing could be more appetizing than
beef, veal, mutton or lamb made into
mince-meat, and pressed into form in
n wine glass, then fried in pork fat, with
a sprig of green placed in the top of
each little cone. The basket of fruit
peaches, pears, grapes or apples, Or
anges, etc.,-should be tastefully ar
ranged and trimmed with leaves and
flowers. The bowl of salad should be
ornamented with the scarlet and Or
ange flowers of the tropaolum, their
piquant flavor adding zest to the lettuce,
with which they can be eaten.-Scrib-
ner for July.

A Remarkable Dream .

In the Cape Ann Adrertiser we find
the following strange story: While the
schooner Belvidere was sailing from
the Georges to Cape Ann, the Captain
Samuel Elwell, dreamed he saw floating
upon the open sea a dead body. All his
efforts to secure it were unsuccessful,an
his distress at seeing his vessel ride over
it awakened him. He went Immediately
upon deck to convince himself that the
whole thing had been dream, and to
shake off the impression it had left upon
him. While telling some of the crew
about it their attention was attracted
by box that was floating toward them
As it came nearer, they tried to grapple
it and bring it on deck, but the waves
washed it under the vessel and they pass
ed over it just as they passed over the
body in his dream. After this he could
not rest until he had sent a boat after
it and it was secured. Upon opening
the box, lying npon bed of sea-weed
they found the body of a little girl
whose bright golden hair lay over the
forehead concealing the marks of prob
ably her death blow. She was nicely
dressed, about four years old, and had
evidently been dead about ten days
As they were not to land for several
days, and rs decomposition had already
begun, they had no alternative but to
sink the box in the ocean. Whether
the dreadful crime can be traced to its
perpetrators or not is doubtful, but that
a dream should have disclosed it is very
strange.

The Savannah Outrage.

The recent outrage upon cOlOred peo-
ple..in Savannah, Georgia, is but a fore
shadowing of what will be the inevitable
result in the event of Greeley's election
to the Presidency. If his mere nomina-
ton and the going over of the Democ-
racy to his support serves to embolden
the slumbering hatred of the Southern
people toward the blacks, what may We
not expect in case of his success? 1t is
not the compass ofprobaility to believe
that they would be protected as they are
and that the laws of Congress framed to
secure them the privileges of full citi-
zenship would be enforced against their
prosecutors. Their undivided support
of President Grant and the Republican
party, is sufficient to call down upon
them the curse and hostility of the vici-
GUS portion of the Southern Democracy.
They appreciate the danger before them
better than we can at this distance, and
therefore they are doubly earnest
in their devotion to General Grant, and
the Republican party, for in his election
they are assured of protection and the
enjoyment of their rights. This Savan-
nah outrage is one which cannot fail to
fhoNS ito CiiNSo oi tiO SOhOiNu PSOPAS
throughout the entire country, as its de-
tails become known. The dispatch sent
north represented that the negroes
were to blame, that they had committed
the outrage on the whites, and had in
cited riot. The trouble originated
with the white ruffians of the city who
undertook to expel colored citizens
from the street cars. According to in
formation received by the Baltimore
American "they insulted and beat
every colored man or woman that at
tempted to ride, dragging some of them
out of the car windows by the hair. In
these brutal acts they seem to have been
sustained by the public opinion, for
no arrests were made, and neither the
company nor the police interfered with
them. 1t was not long, however, before
they got hold of plucky negro who
showed fight, and then the shooting
began. There was a serious riot, in
which number of colOred men (twenty
or more1 were badly wounded"

The Production of Metals

How metals are produced has for a
long time been a question among men
of science. The general opinion has
been that the metaliferous veins and de-
posits have remained as they are from
the beginning, and that no additional
deposits are at present going on. But
some have contended that chemical pro-
cesses are in constant operation, and
that vital forces are all the time at work
eliminating metals and depositing them
in the form of ore as they are found in
mining operations. Years ago, old Eng
lish miners stoutly maintained this lat
ter theory. We now observe that re-
cent chemical experiments in England
appear to sustain this idea. Corrobora-
tive evidence is also claimed to be found
in the abandoned silver mines of MeXi-
co and Peru. The long-disused CALLER
les of the working are frequently found
eucrusted with filiated threads of silver
which it is certain could not have been
there when the mines were abandoned
According to this new idea of the con-
slant creation of metallic substances
the earth is vast laboratory, constant.
ly at work and constantly producing
1t is now believed that these late Eng
lish experiments will demonstrate that
low grades OF ores may be so treated as
to be made to yield up their treasure:
by new processes, into which electri
city will largely enter.
