ELECTRICITY is having a pretty free play of
late Already the season has shown more nu
merous and more startling displays OF elemen-
tai artillery than perhaps the whole of the
last one. Monday afternoon last, was particu-
larly noticeable for this kind of startling deto-
nation. A shock at ALIENS telegraph Office
made the hair of the deniznes of that neigh
borhood rise, and brought ROGER GRIswoID's
horse, hitched in front, upon his heels, snap
ping his iastenings, and started him ON a keen
run towards the North Park, "whose contigui-
ty OF shade" he seemed duly to appreciate.
His bearings, however, were not well taken,
and the vehicle soon brought up against the
trees, shiyering II to kinding wood, and bark
ing and marring the beautiful specimens of
vegetable growth that makes The spot so love-
ly, and gives it such hold upon the public
heart, No one, however. was injured or dam
age done 10 the telegraph office. At the L. S.
& NJ, S. station, there was a remarkable pyro-
technic exhibition. The telegraph office and
gentlemens waiting room were lighted up
with a rare brilliancy, and the loud cracking
report as the fluid played over the switch bonrd,
startled every one with sudden fear and forced
the conclusion that operators and instruments
had been roughly handled The rush was TO
the operators room, and great was the relief
to find that no damage was done. CHARLEY
LEEK. who was sitting near his Instrument
escaped entirely, but Capt MANNING, who
was standing at the rail, talking, was affected
in one arm and leg, the benumbing influence
OF which was felt for some time afterwards.
Beside these occurrences, tree in the pas
lures OF HARRY SWEET, at East Village, under
which some of his dairy animals had taken
shelter, was struck, and the best COW of tue
herd killed, II was found dead. bleeding at
the nose, and the traces of electricity found up
on the tree, leading TO the reasonable conelu-
sion that the animals death was due to cleo
srieiy.

President Grants re e.nomination for third
term:
ut is stated that the preiminarcs were ar.
ranged at Long Branch several DAYS ago and
1t is not denied that the President is cognizant
of IT, Those having the matter in charge
seem 10 count very largely upon the divisions
supposed to exist in the ranks of the opposition
and upon their ability to rally the moneyed
interests Of the country TO the support of their
scheme. Under the head of their moneyed
interests, they include National banks. railroad
corporations, and the large capitalists These
they allege are for Grant, brcause under his
administration, it is not likely any legislation
will he enacted hostile tp these institutions
Another argument used is that there is no man
in the Republican party who has developed
greater popular strength than Gen. Grant.

from this cause. Mr. is of irreproachable

church, of quiet mien, and though not long a

that the oft-quoted line, though lost TO sight,
to mem'ry DEAR" originated with Ruthven

Sweetheart, goodbye! the 6uttring sail

And soon before the fay'rng gale

A country may be over-run by an armed
hosts, but it is only conquered by the establish
ment OF fortr"sses Words are but the. for
tresses of thought They enable us To realize
our dominion over what we have already over
run in thought-to make every intellectual
conquest the basis of operations for others yet
beyond. Or another illustration You have
all heard Of the process of tuuneling through
slnd-hank In this operation it is impossi-
ble 10 succeed unless every fnot-nay, almost
every inch-in our progress is secured by an
arch of masonry before we attempt the exca-
walton OF another. Now, language is to the
mind precisely what the arch is 10 the tunnel
The power of thinking, ard the power of ex-
cavation are not dependent on the word in one
case, on the mason work in the other; but
without these subsidiaries, neither process
could be carried on beyond is rudmentary
commencement. Though, therefore. we allow
that every movement forward in language
must he determined bv antecedent movement
forward in thought, still, unless thought he ac-
