ABOUT GREELEf,s ILLNESS.

How He vas Similarly Affected in 1861.
A New York reporter interviewed Mr..
Cleveland, special friend of Mr.. Gree

house, and during the last two weeks of
that time | know that Mr.. Greeley had

her bedside continually, and caught sleep
enough to overthrow and disorganize his
nervous system. and when the election
came, with its overwhelming disaster, the
blow was severe enough to bend him
though it is far from breaking him.
JUST AFTER BULL RUN.
"Your remember the 'On to Richmond
cry, that the country chose to believe was
the cause of the advance ofour army be-
fore it was ready to advance. When the
Bull Run,defeat occurred, the reaction that
took place fell with heavy weight upon
the Tribune and produced terrible de-
preston upon Mr.. Greeley. The cry arose,
day after day, that he was responsible for
the defeat and the consequent death of so
many of our soldiers, and it wore upon
him terribly. He was sick then for two
weeks, and his doctors feared that he
might be afflicted with the brain fever, but
he came out OF IL with Tune ana care, anu
so he will out of this ,- ..-..... ..

stated that he had been SO violent at your
house that three men were required to hold
him." .... --sl
'"There's not word of truth in it. He
was unusually quiet, and that's why I
mostly distrusted his health"
"Rumor also goes that he is confined OF
to be confined in an insane asylum at
White Plains"
"Well, it's a cruel report, and utterly
false.n
His last coherent words were: "The
country is gone, the Tribune is gone, and ]

Cav SpOrtsnAen.

A couple of Knoxville Nimrods lad a
thanksgiving adventure, which came near
resulting unhappily. At about five O'Clock
OH the evening before Thanksgiving day
they started out, armed and equipped as
huntsmen's law directs, for five mile
walk across the country, to the house of
an acquaintance, where they were to pass
the night, so as to be on hand bright and
early in the morning for hunt. Unfor-
tunately night came on and found them on
their way, in the midst of wood where
neither were well acquainted. They lost
their way, and having no light they were
forced to wander about in mud, swamps,
brush and darkness for several hours, until
luckily light appeared in the distance,
toward which they made their way, find
ing house whose inhabitants were, how
ever, SO scared by their arrival as to be
hardly able to give the needful directions.
They started out again and got lost and
frightened theinhabitantso of another house
and finally some time before midnight ar
rived at their destination.
They are very ready to tell about the sue
cess of their hunt OH Thanksgiving day
but maintain a very judicious silence rela-
tive to their walk the evening before.

AUnirersal Article of Faith.

In these days of religious contention it has
been thought impossible to indicate an article of
faith upon which all sects and classes were unit
ed. There is one, however, and very notable
one too, viz: belief which is implicit and uni
versal in the paramount efficacy of that match
less Household Tonic and Recuperant, Planta-
tion Bitters The constantly increasing patron
age which it receives has, it is true, excited the
petty envy of certain splenetic advertisers of
pinchbeck panaceas, who hope to make a
market for their own stagnant. watery wares, by
decrying all spirituous medicinal preparations.
But the public can stomach neither their argu-
ments nor their potations, and consequently re-
ject these very weak, limitations of the enemy rs
entirely too thin!

a TexaS Sunday.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution
ahsts, writing from San Antonio, Texas,
gives this account of the morals of the place
This is Sunday, and I'll try and tell you VII at
I've seen to-day. In the morning passed an
untold number of bar-rooms, and in all of them
people, and the best citizens, too, playing bill
lizards or cards, OF course, for drinks, and for
the crowd - really, fyou won't drink and play
billiards on Sunday you are not respectable.
There are more bar-roems in San Antonio than
any place out of Texas to its size in the United
States AS sit in my room now at ten O. clock
at night, hear the band playing at the circus,
and not very far off is a panorama on exhibi-
ton. ETE +.
To-day was walking along the streets, when
l was suddenly startled by hearing lot of boys
shouting and the band playing. l looked up
ard just then it all came in sight. 1t was this :
the circus, with all its riders, performers, &C.,
in regular circus style, were coming down the
street with the band playing, the boys shouting
and ever so many Mexicans and stragglers fol-
lowing them. Remember, this was on Sunday.
Imagine all the bar-rooms open on Sunday at
home, billiard-playing, drinking, and last, but
not by any means least troupe of performers,
dressed in their tights, riding down the street
with band playing.

DON'T WHIP HIM:

Our Bobby was pinching the kitten
And kicking his primer about,
And pulling beetle to pieces,
His face ali awry with pout
His mamma. who, silent and patient,
Had heard all his trotting and noise,
Now reached for the whip on the mantel-
The terror Of four-year-old boys.
But grandma, with snow white 'kerchief
Pinned over her warm loving breast,
Where ten little hearts had been pillowed,
And rocked into childhood's sweet rest,
Looked up from her little wool stocking,
Just finished and laid on her knee,
And said "Hear, you'll ruin his temper,
You had far better let the child be.
"Dont whip him His father before him
Was fogged and shut up in the dark,
And stood on one foot in the corner,
And disciplined up to the mark
We gave him no credit for honor,
But watched him as spiders watch flies,
And what did it teach him7 Why mainly,
To practice deceit and tell lies.
1--WE called it affection and duty
God knows we were fond of the boy
But / guess his remembrance of childhood
Is not quite well-spring of JOY.
So put up that willow whip, daughter,
And try little Bobby once more;
You see he's forgotten his passion,
And lies, half asleep, on the floor. y
Then grandmother lifted her darling,
And patted his head on her breast,
And sang an old favorite ditty.
Till all Bobby's woes were at rest.
And so the wee whip, bright and yellow,
Was laid on the mantel again;
And that is the way these grandmas
Spoil nine little boys out of ten.

Neck Twisting in Church.

There are practices tolerated in religious
congregations which Christians who are
jealous for the honor of their Masters
house should utterly condemn. Decorum
is the handmade of devotional feeling, and
for this reason the house of God should
never be disturbed by the slightest ap-
prOach to irreverence.
''It is part of my religion" said q piOus
old lady who was asked why she went ear
ly to church, cit is part of my religion
not to interrupt the religion of Others"
And we believe that if many a country
congregation made it part of their religion
not twist their necks almost out of Joint to
witness the entrance Of every person who
walks up the aisle during service, it would
be better both for their necks and their re-
ligion.
\ gross abuse of religious decorum some
times needs harsh medicine as a remedy,
We give that adopted by Henry Clay Dean,
who was at one time Chaplain OF Con-
gress. The anecdote is from the Pacific
Jfethodist -fE -.ErZ fEAsfE
"Being worried one afternoon by this
turning practice in his congregation, Mr..
Dean stopped in his sermon and said :"
Now, you listen to me, and I'll tell you
who the people are as each one of them
comes in."
He then WentOn with his discourse, un-
til a gentleman entered, when he bawled
out like an usher, Deacon A., who
keeps the shop over the way and then
went on with his sermon. Presently an
other man passed up the aisle, and his
name, residence and occupation were Civ
en- so he continued for some time. At
length some one entered to door who was
unknown to Mr.. Dean, when he cried out,
"A little old man, with drab coat and an
old white hat don't know him-look for
yourselves. That congregation was cured"

The BREAK IN ENGLISH IRoN.-The
decline which has occurred in the English
iron trade has been little earlier and
sharper than was generally expected. One
chief cause of this was the fact that it was
found that large number of orders were
sent to the continent of Europe, while the
American trade, formerly so active, was
almost limited down to a demand for rail-
road bars. At last accounts the trade gen.
orally was very dull, and it is supposed a
reduction in wages will come.
