And then, too, there is the hypergener-

street, shouting cheerily, Come, boys

Governor Powell, of Kentucky was new

telling and social qualities were remarka-

personal intimacy with every one he met,
and in this way he was powerful in cleo

ties of tobacco, but never carried the weed
himself, and was always begging it of ev-

Henderson, and in coming up the Ohio

Methods of Drinking in New York.

The World has two column article de-
scribing the gin mills of New York, and
the people who patrorize them, from which
we clip few racy paragraphs in regard to
the methods of drinking, as follows:
The methods of drinking in and about
the street are as various as are the char
acters Of those who gather there to garner
or sow the golden grain There is the
bold, bad man with red side whiskers, a
tiorld complexion. and short, shaggy
monkey jacket, who swaggers at midday
into his favurlte bar, endangers the glass
ware on the counter with blow of his fist.

violently, thus making room in his mouth
tor an enormous quid Of tobacco, MUNICH

tones that the Secretary OF the Treasury

doesn't know enough to last him over

which Is sure OF applause, no matter what
the source or who the audience
Then there is the cautious man who
standing upon the very brink of Shoelder's

Thursday, April 9, 1874.

It is all very we'll for men who make
their living by it to talk about the impor-
lance of "the party" TO those who are
disnosed to be influenced by such appeals
we commend serious study of the uses
to which ''the party" was put IN keeping
the Tweed regime in power, the use made
of it by the Philadelphia Ring, by the
Louisiana conspirators, by the South Car
olipa robbers--in short, by all the unprin-
cipIed adventurers who have been robbing
the Treasury and plunderiDg the people
while they distracted public attention by
party cries. If there Is ANYTHING we can
ever afford to dispense with for little
while il is partisanship. 9 O.
