Polk and Wise.

TIE nomination of Mr.. Polk was the
result of an intrigue conceived for the
purpose of defeating Mr.. Van Buren,
who was the unquestiOned choice of
majority of the Democratic party.
The sinister combinations necessary to
the success of the plot, by which such
distinguished champions of the party
as Colonel Benton and .Silas Wright
were disobliged and disaffected, led to
embarassments and complications
which hampered and Obstructed the
administration, and operated to the
prejudice of Mr.. Polk and the good
name of the country. He was not Il
great man, using that qualifying word
in the sense usually employed to de-
scribe the most distinguished of his
contemporaries; but he was blameless
in his private life, of fair capacity, eX-
cellent Judgment, good common-sense,
patriotic intentions, and uncommon
moral courage. Physically, he had no
stomach for fight, and when Wise
assaulted him in the ROtunda of the
Capitol, instead of calling him to ac-
count for the affront, he passed it by
with comparative Indifference. He
was Speaker of the House at the time,
and Wise, who was always impetuous
and hot-headed when there was not
more to gain by controlling his temper,
resented some fancied injustice in the
ruling of the chair. The affair made
some stir at the time, and General
Jackson was disgusted that an insult so
gross should not have been settled in
accordance with the rules that then re-
gulated the conduct of men of honor

Hen. William S. GrOesheck Puts
Up u bob.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 25.-An exciting
investigation is in progress, OF the
charges that money was used to intiu-
encc the City Council to approve the
purchase of Burnet Woods for park,
about a year ago, for little over half a
million dollars, of Hon. VIM. S. Groes-
beck and Richard Burnet. Hon. W.
S. Groesbeck to-day, testified that he
gave twelve thousand five hundred
dollars to Theodore Cook, to be given
by him to an agent, for his influence in
securing the sale of Burnet Woods to
the city, bat stipulated that it should
not be improperly used. He said he
wouf! now say that it was a mistake.
He intended no wrong to the city, re-
gretted having paid it and was ready
to cancel the contract and refund to the
city all the money paid on it. Theodore
Cook testified that he received twelve
thousand five hundred dollars from
Hon. VIM. S. Groesbeck, and a like
SUM from Robert Burnet, which he
paid to Charles Kahn, ex-Councilman,
for influencing Council to approve the
purchase of Burnet Woods for public
park, but stipulated that it should not
be used improperly. Charles Kahn
testified that he received twenty-five
thousand dollars from Theodore Cook
to use his personal influence with the
Common Council to approve the action
of the Park Commission in purchasing
Burnet Woods, and that he paid out
none of the money, but kept it all him.
self for the use of his influence. In this
Investigation Truman Hardy and Will
liam Stoms, both members of the Park
Board, have, in their testimony, been
charging each other with asking, and
offering money for official influence.
This evidence promises TO cause other
Investigations of the parties charged
with improper conduct in the evidence.

AN IDEA FOR TEASlSTERs.-Ag a great
deal of labor and hard tugging may be
saved if every wagon and truck is pre-
vided with 100 feet of stout rope and a
single pulley. A snatch block is the
best arranged with strong hook, and
the usual construction for slipping the
tight of the rope under the strap to the
sheave instead of waiting to reeve the
line through on end. If a wagon gets
stuck in heavy mud or in the snow,
the driver has only to fasten his block
to the tongue, reeve the rope through
it, and attach one end to tree or post
and let his team pull on the other.
Their work of course is just halved, or
rather they bring twice as much pow
er to bear in dragging the wagon clear.
There are plenty of other applications
of this simple device, which will read
lily suggest themselves. With couple
OF skids for an inclined plane, heavy
logs could be easily drawn on sleigh
by the unhitched team. Another case
where it is likely to be useful is when
loaded sleighs attempt TO cross a wooden
bridge. Although the horses draw the
load very easily over the snow, they
are often unable TO start it over the
generally denuded wooden flooring OF
the bridge, and hence would be mate
rally aided by the tackle hitched on as
we have described.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

Miss Flora seeks out the new adver-

Mr.. Pleasure Seeker turns to the

Miss Prim drops tear-first over

Mr.. Politician commences with the

Mr.. Professor slowly examines the

Mr.. Marvellous looks for the acci-
