story.

Of love that has twined itself around the hearts
and affections of himself and wife. A few eve

remained until tea AT the table the reverend
visitor asked the blessing, and the little one
opened her eyes to their fullest capacity in
startled wonderment. She could not under
stand what had been done, and it was with
great persuasion that her mother could keep
her quiet during the time they were at the ta-
Bile. When they left the table she walked up
to the minister, for whom she had formed o
great friendship, and caught hold of his hard,

the freedom of the the city even when in

of Tweed becomes more conspicuous when
we see that even after conviction for crime
there is still an ample loophole for escape
Possibly Tweed was too unwieldy, and
too prominent an offender, to follow the
covey which escaped with Genet.
The manner of Genet's escape indicates
completely of the sheriff. After q felon
has been sentenced in New York it seems
the custom to escort him about the city to
take leave of bis friends and accept their
regrets. 1t would seem more appropriate

quite probable the instructions" which

prelude to relapse into the riotous, fever

US to be the last faint wriggling of the
serpents tail. 1t has lost its head; its
backbone broke when our merchants re-
fused to contribute further to aid in de-

nothing left for the remainder to do but

Is A RELAPSE PROBABLE7

Messrs. Zachar1e, Lewis and Lingan, in
their representative capacity as members
of the peoples Legislature" whatever
that may be, have undertaken the execu-
tive duty of calling the Odd Fellows Hall
body together on the fifth of January.
1t is quite probable that this unconstitu-
tional mode of converting the General
Assembly is resorted to for the purpose of
evading the penalties mentioned in the
Presidents proclamation to the Fusionists
in general and McEnery in particular.
But we are told that caucus of the pre-
tenders nd 'Governor McEnery" agree
in the opinion that it is absolutely imper-
ative that another grand rally of office
seekers should be made and fresh at
tempt to capture the offices made by those
whose highest qualifications consist in
needing thsm, or something, and that
right soon
+ But the subcommittee composed as
above limit themselves to merely urging
their partisans to assemble. There is no
authoritative call, no place designated as
rendezvous, nor anything official or
business like about the call, except the
assumed titles Of the signers.
Unfortunately for the success of the
contemplated movement none of the ele-
ments are propitious. No one who is
well known to the masses of the people is
interested in it. The little faction has no
able leader, like Warmoth, no brilliant
orator, like Sheridan, and they are all
very poor in purse. Of the Fusion claim
ants for Office in this State it may en-
phatically be said, they do not generally
possess the confidence of this community.
When, therefore, they send out their cir
culars, inviting certain political elements
to their Barmecides feast, they are in the
position of one who is proverbial for
ringing the bell before the dinner is
prepared, or even ordered. But Messrs.
Zacharie, Lewis, Lingan & Co. have GER
tainly rang the first bell as signal for
reviving the almost fatal agitation of last
winter. Everybody knows, however,
they have nothing to set before their
guests, nor even table to spread
it on if they had, something. |
They have no substantial backing, Its

have. therefore, to receive the charges that
are made by the press against their public
men cum grdno salts, forit frequently hap
pens that the character Of men elected to
Office is attacked without further cause
than to damage them for political reasons.
We allude to these things now that they
may not detract from the merits Of the
picture drawn by President Cowdin at
meeting of intellectual noblemen.
The speeches of Senator Sumner, Gen.
eral Sherman and Henry Ward Beecher
were splendid efforts, teeming with intel
lect, wisdom, greatness and goodness, and
reflect credit upon our country.

But Genet did not follow the usage Of
Tweed. He entertained his friends and

and so effectual was his hospitality that

o'clock in the morning. he found that
Genet had broken his thieves parole. In
the words of the Roman orator, obdidI

himself The story of the somnolent sheriff
would be punished as contempt Of court
out of New York. He wept-that sheriff!

has ever seen any more than white mule

no means be realized. He is a myth-an
