type that we must first contend for and

cannot conclude without urging you
again, as l have often done in the past, to
be up and doing II you value your liber.
ties. They are threatened more seriously
than many OF you realize, by military
ascendency laying It's lines for tho control
Unpopular elections; by corrupt practices
and official intervention. On the other
hand you have presented to you In the
person Of the distinguished candidate for
the Presidency named at Cincinnati, a
guarantee Of reconciliation and a reformed
administration. No man has ever dared TO
say that Horace Greeley was not an honest
man. He may not be what some would
call a fine gentleman Of elegant manners
and finished personelle, and he NAV be
addicted to what are considered by them
as low and common pursuits, such as
farming, stock raising, looking after the
INDECENT, gathering supplies for the starv.
ing abroad, and illustrating in all times
philanthropy at home; but | tell you nv
friends, that old white hat of his, covers
the largest brain, and shadows the soltest
heart In America. Let me add moreover,
and be pardoned for saying that as TO the
matter Of executive ability, believe
that the man also has served out long life |
in the conduct Of great leading journal

highest order, and giving body and form
to public opinion upon the most intricate
questions of foreign complication will be |
found better qualified for the position to |

this new mark OF confidence which has |
been conferred upon me, l must close

the convincing proof OF the venal purpose
which instigated the Governor to make

eral Pattanca had only left lor
Spain on the last steamer, and counter
orders from Della Campo, would reach
him on his arrival at Cadiz. Threats OF in.
stant death, failed to frighten Della Campo
into signing the telegram already written
and the latter sought the protection Of the
government, and hastened to the acting
Captain General, and to tho Governor of
Havana. The latter advised him to leave
the Island, because he assured him he
could not for want Of means, guarantee
him either his life or property. Upon
this advice Della Campo acted, taking the
steamer Germania for Europe.

EugenIe In .he mlghIanas.

From the Graphic
A Scotch Jenkins has been following
the ex-Empress Eugene all over Scot
land. He is good enough to tell US what
her Majesty ate, what she drank, what
she wore, what she said, where she went
and how she did up her back hair Her
Majesty went up Ben Nevis in the
Campbell tartan. The costume,
we are told, "was made up hurriedly by
the Empress own tire woman after
reaching Benavie hut---it gives us relief
to hear this-the nimble fingers of the
experienced artistic accomplishing the
task in an incredible short space oil
time" 1T is needless to say, adds
Jenkins, "that the dress looked perfec-
ton on her Majesty, fitting the dainty
figure like glove" whereby we are to
infer that her Majesty, in consequence
we suppose Of being an Empress, pos
sessed extremities enough to correspond
with four fingers and thumb. "a
small fichu of black velvet was worn
over the plain high body; black hat
with an eagle plume completed the
mountain toilet. OF the Prince Impe-
rial we are told that he has remarkable
sweet couutenance," but that the ugly
cap he wore would have spoiled the face
of an Apollo Belvidere." Not to keep
the reader in suspense, it should be
stated that the cap in question was a
Gleugarry, but disfgured by glsring
border of white and scarlet diced in
squares, and topped with red tassel. "
Jenkins has seen a similar cap worn
by soldiers in the ranks" and he there
fore does not like it. The Empress,
jenkins has found out " is locked up all
night. A confidential attendant locks
the chamber door when the Empress is
in bed, and takes the key with her to
her own room" Jenkins further un-
derstands that the same vigilance is
exercised over the Prince Imperial" {"
"a trusty custodian locks him up, and
keeps the key in his possession until
the hour of rising" The Empress con-
descended 70 notice jenkins, aud to en-
ter into conversation with him. Here
is his own account, slightly reduced, of
what passed between them;
Smiling, she replied, All that is
true; but then how do the poor people
in the mountains live2 What have they

rs it very wholesome2" asked the
Empress.
1 assured her Majesty "porridge was
remarkably wholesome" and added, IN
proof thereof, it was the staple article OF
food with the peasantry Of Scotland.
"Porridge makes strong men, then,
said the Empress, with smile.
f" But they eat oatmeal cakes, also,
your Majesty"
What are they2
The Empress had never seen cakes,
and your correspondent had the honor
Of presenting her Majesty with a genuine
specimen Of our native bread.

Snoring is, of all bad habits, the most
