The TRIBUNE ALMANAC for 1878 is fuller
and more complete in its election returns than
any of its predecessors and the fact that over
10000 copies of the first edition have already
been sold would seem to indicate that it still
remains the most popular of Political Animals.
New-York tribune., 1873-02-08

1t would be hard to draw a more graphic
picture of a certain political class in this city
than Mayor Havemeyer made yesterday in one
sentence of his reply to the congratulations of
the Liberal Republican delegation. He char
acterized the coterie who are now banded
against municipal reform as consisting of men
"who gamble all night to cheat each other,
land intrigue all day to cheat the people"

Our Paris correspondence, to-day, gives a
picture of the newspaper debates over the
open grave of the late Emperor, and shows the
defiant though evidently not confident spirit
in which the Imperialist organs still strive to
defend their ruined cause. Meanwhile, the
only genuine Napoleon in temperament and
talent the Red Prince, hastens to avow his
independence of the plots of Chiselhurst, and
only asks his rehabilitation citizen of

When the franking privilege was abolished,
people thought that we should save the cost
of that expensive luxury. 1t seems that we
were mistaken; the House Judiciary Com

the discontinuance of the franking privilege,

1t is satisfactory to learn from the Hon. j.
Wiley Edmands, who is well qualified to speak
on the subject, that the wool industry was
prosperous last year, and that both its great
branches are equally earnest in maintaining
the common protection which has led to a
large increase in the production and diversity
of American woolens, as well as fOstered the
growth and quality Of domestic wool. The
success of the wool industry seems assured so
long "a this harmony Of feeling continues, and
its representative men display the same ability

Tho wise Major Pendennis in the novel once
shrewdy remarked 10 his nephew that man might
bear a very good coat Of arms and yet be great
blackguard This was said in discussing the merits
of a man who ia represented IA having an undoubteh
right to a respectable blazOnry This can hardly DO
affirmed Of a great many respectable repubbcans
who get extempOrized arms from those professional
people who, for a consideration, make researches.
and always find coat for every customer, no matter
how obscure may have been his ancestry. good
lineage is not thing to be despised but it must be
admitted that very few Americans know much. or
can know much, of their remote progenitors. Tho
very names have been changed by uncertain
orthography transmogri6ed when few people could
write and much less spell As for arms, the CHANCES
are that a man is not descended at all from those
who were entitled to bear them. However, we sro
informed that magazine is TO be started in neigh-
boring city, tho purpose of which IL TO discuss
genealogy to give portraits and to furnish engraved
coats of arms of families. Tho beauty OF the
arrangement is that every family is to be per
mtted to furnish its own history and its own
coat to be photographed or engraved et its own
expense If these are inserted, it is expected that
those thus distinguished will order number Of
extra copies of the work. If those who are thus
invited to glorify themselves choose to be amused
in this innocent way, there il moral objection.
we think to the indulgence. 1t ought to be fairly
understood, however, that most modern heraldry is
humbug, and that arms, whether Of dominion. of
pretenson, of community, Of assumption Of patron
ago. of succession Of alliance, of adoption, Of con-
cesson whether paternal and hereditary or not are
usually mere inventions of those who carry them or
of those who for a consideration furnish them TO
their customers In America there is no authoritar
tive heraldry, as there is in England. because wo

that he is entitled TO them though we must say
that as a rule people are too easily satisfied.

The Laws ofThe Rail.

A list of decision has lately been pub
lished by paper devoted to railroad
subjects, which may be of interest to
those who travel by rail.
The legal definition of a passenger is
ga person who undertakes, with the con-
sent of the carrier, to travel in the con-
veyance provided by the latter, other
wise in the the service of the carrier as
SUCH"
Railway companies are bound to car
ry all who offer themselves, unless they
are offensive in person or conduct or the
cars are already full.
Waiting at the depot with the inten-
ton of taking the train, is sufficient to
constitute the relation Of passenger and

"Good for this day only" printed up
on ticket, has been decided by the
courts to be of no effect. The passeI
ger has paid his money and is entitled
to transportation.
1t has also been decided by a New
York court that ticket between any
two points is good either way, but the
decision is doubtful one.
An injury to the person of the passen.

of the railway, subjects the latter to
damages, and any loss of baggage-it

A writer in the Louisville Courier
Jo,undt tells the following story of the
rebellion:
A single shot followed by a loud
shrek told us that one of our best men,
Brady, was hurt. lie proclaimed his
agony in loud voice, turned over on
his back, and commenced kicking SO vig-
orously that the surgeon had difficulty
in getting near him.
'Poor tellow!' said the doctor, "rm
afraid it's fatal"
And he commenced opening his coat.
"Oh, my GodH' said Brady "Im a
dead man."
"keep up your spirits" my boy; nev-
er say die, said Captain johnson kneel-
ing kindly over him.
"Doctor," asked the wounded soldier,
feebly, "will you write to mother, and
tell her that died bravely, doing my
duty, with my face to the Toe, and that
| thought of her when dyingY"
yes" said the doctor, with dim and
husky voice; 81 will write to her and
tell her, too"
But suddenly springing to his feet
with an indignant voice; he said;
"Why, confound it, man, you're no
hurt bit. It's only the canteen that
shot. Get up, will you?"
Brady raised up slowly, felt himsel
all over, and with an exceedingly fool
ish countenance crawled back to mis- pc
sition, amid the uproarish laughter Of
the whole regiment.
For months after that, on the marcl
in camp, and sometimes in he stillnes
of the night, he would hear voice il
one direction, demanding:
"What shall tell your mother?" an
perhaps half dozen responses woul
be heard;
'rell her that l died with my face
the the foe," and Brady would com
out and hunt for the man that said it.
He seldom found him, but when h
did there was sure to be fight.

The life oflGovernor Samuel Houston
was one full of romantic incidents and
showed the inherent savagery there was
in his nature. Some of the most promi-
nent features were these:
His escape from his mother when at
the age of seventeen he fell madly in
love with the Indian maiden Tootooloo
(Sunflash), and followed her to her home
adopted the habits of the Cherokees,
married her and for three years, under
the name Of Ooloock, hunted, fished,
fought as a young Indian brave and ac-
knowledged chief; his unexpected re-
turn to his family, grown during his alb
sence, though still wanting six months
of his legal majority, to the heroic stat
ure which then, dressed in hunting
shirt and moccasins and blankets and
head gear, and even afterwards, howev-
er clothed, made him man of mark;
his abandonment sixteen years later in
life, while Governor of Tennessee, when
his early prank had been forgotten in
his success as lawyer and triumpbs a:
politician, of his young and accomplish
ed bride the day after marriage; hi!
resignation of Office and winding up o.
business and settlement of affairs will
the most earnest entreaties of friends
and jeers of foes; his securing by deco
all his inconsiderable property to hi
mother; his return as an Indian chief t,
the wilderness, retaining his nativ'
wife, and dwelling three years longe
with his tribe, and his sudden depart
ure at last for Texas for the purpose o
becoming herdsman on the prairies-
all show clearly enough the element o
savagism tn ere was in his character
And yet, he was superbly endowed b,
nature; was great soldier, lawyer ant
statesman, whether as Governor or Sen
ator, was the most popular of men, an
