SICKNESS
The death of Mr.. Flood, following so closely

in Ottawa, on Tuesday, August q. 1872, at p.
NJ, to make final arrangements for fixing up the
grounds for the State Fair. The loan Of ten

fulfilling their contracts unless some arrange.
ment can be made by direction of the society.

PartOnss Life of Greeley

Now that there Is every probability that Mr..
Greeley will be our next President, truthful
history of his life becomes matter of highest in.
terest and Importance to every citizen.
1t is therefore most fortunate that We have
such book from the able and impartial pen Of
James Parton, the well known essayist and
biographer. Any life of Mr.. Greeley that is
likely to be put forward now, got up under the
press of present political excitement, will be liza.
BILE to the charge of craftsmanship. 1t is the great
merit of Mr.. PartOn's work that, having been
written without any intention of making It sub
serve political purpose, it presents impartial
view OF the important events of Mr. Greeley :
career.
The work is q profoundly interesting one :;
and aside from the attention now devoted TO Mr..
Greeley, arising from his present candidacy, the
mere story of his wonderful and singular career
his early life, its poverty, its hardships, and
his precooious development under it; his life az
a printers apprentice at East Poultney, VT. his
journey to Western Pennsylvania, has arrival in
New York almost penniless and alone; his study
and progress, first journeyman printer, then us
editer, until the establishment Of the New York
Tribune; his success in building up the Tribune
~ II were out of his own brains, until it became
| the most powerful journal in America; his sub.
| sequsnt career as one of the most active inhuen.
tial, honest and best abused then of his time
| all this. ~ graphically told by Mr. Parton, is
valuable reading at any time; and partic ulsrly
valuable to young men as an example Of what
can bs accomplished. by integrity aud devotion
to honorable pursuits.
The narrative 10 brought down to the present
time, giving history Of Mr.. Grsslsy's connec.
ton with the bsiling Of Jefferson Davis, his
views on reconstruction, etc., and closes with an
account Of his nomination, and letter OF accep.

COMMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.
! return this obnoxious measure without my
approval. The man who introduced it is an
ass; the men who voted for it are scheming
| British agents. and the men who say this is not
| the case are liars and horse thieves. Judge
| that, on an average, every man, woman and
| child in America uses a ton of guano year in
| some shape or other; whether as the farmer in
| New York, Louisiana, Colorado, Podunk, ETC.,
| in agriculture, or as Charles A. Dana, for ed-
| torial articles. We thus consume, in round
| figures, 40,000,0 900 tons of guano annually. The
| arbitrary and revolutionary act which veto to-
day would thus impose tax of S4 100000 a
| year on our people. With what effect2 Ii
would not stimulate the production of American
| guano. American birds could not compete with
| the pauper labor of birds in debauched and
| priest-ridden Central America. | am not quite
| sure as to what mean or why it is not so, OF
what is which, but the man who speaks to the
contrary is hell hound and bribed by British
gold. nc.
The free lovers hasten to the support of Horace
Greeley. John Humphrey Moves, the apostle
of free love in this country, and editor of the
Oneida Community Circular, the organ of tn,
famous Tor iniamous) community in Oneid,
county, writes:
Greeley's nomination to the presidency bring:
socialism to the front, for Greeley was and i
the real father of socialism in this country. Ou
"History of American Socialism" ought to be d
Campaign book, i" for it is the only book thai
| gives full and authentic account of Greeley,
career as a socialist. Whether it would work
for his election or against it is a matter of doubt
| 10 would win votes for him among the progress
sives, but might damage his prospects among
| the conservatives. 1t certainly ought TO be read
| by every one who wishes to form a comprehen-

The tariff bill of Mr.. Dawes has been working
its way through the house slowly, but nothing
seems certain in regard to it, only that the pro-
position to do away with the internal revenue
system will prevail and hereafter only taxes on
spirits and tobacco will be levied. The present
revenue officers will wind up their business at
the close of the year, and portion of them will
be detailed to act under the law when it goes
into effect. Small favors are thankfully re-

monument is also 10 be erected to Gen. Scott, in

for a statue of Gen. T. ID Baker, senator from
Oregon, killed at Balls Bluff. DR.. Horatio

FASHIONS IN DREss.-lfr. Editor; On read
ing the article in your paper headed "Street
sweeping" it occurred to me the class alluded
to were not aware such dresses are for drawing
rooms and carriages never for the street. La
dies where they originated were attended by
page who was train bearer as they stepped into
the street, or the footman was ready with
dainty strip of carpet spread from the car
riage to the hall door. The annals of fashion
are both amusing and humiliatiag. The leg of
mutton sleeve, worn more than half century
ago, was the invention of an ingenious
dressmaker, to conceal a huge wen on
the shoulder of duchess. These sleeves were
provided with an inside frame to keep them
from the arm; they were inconvenient, as two
ladies could not occupy the same seat in a car
rage, the immense bonnet then worn, also in
terfering. The cOaeyette, with its many rows of
lace, fastened close at the throat, covered a terri
BILE scar on the neck Of a titled lady. Possibly
the graceful and elegant train was adopted by
one who had foot and ankle not attractive.
1t is lamentable TO witness the eagerness with
which Americans adopt all foreign fashions in
dress-gentlemen as well as ladies. Ii some one
of our Mrs. Presidents would bring into notice
a truly American conceived costume that would
redeem orr foolish habit of nattpruino fOrpipn
