HIGH TIDE.-The warm weather,
the wind and the rain of the closing
days Of March, converted the vast bod Y
of snow on the ground into water rather
TOO suddenly to insure safety Of prop.
erty along the banks Of our streams.
The climax was reached during Tuesday
night, and Wednesday morning found
nearly every body surrounded by "high

Fork had sweled to a booming river,
and the Kinnickinnic to an angry
food. Only once during the last TWEEN.

Judge in "high tide" on horseback
wading around the mil.yard fishing for
lumber that was rapidly, like the old

The Judge succeeded quite we'll in

Then there was Harry Cornish,
friend Hunt, aud half score Of others
penued up on the island now made by
the river and Lake George. Inasmuch
as there seemed to be but little danger,
the scene was not sad to contemplate,
though we confess to feeling of sad
ness as our thoughts turned upon other
scenes that might be enacted where both
property and life might be at stake,
ADD from which We may yet hear some
tales Of suffering. The full extent Of

A NOTABLE CONTRANr.

and. In letter To him, said ''Never did

casion. The multitude OF my thoughts

The inauguration on the 4th Of
March was also to Adams Il day
marked by the sane deep sense
Of responsibility. solemniiy offeeling and
distrust of himself on entering
upon the high aud responsible duties
of the President. The entrance in his
diary on the morning Of that day was as
follows AFTER two successive sleepless
nights. enter upon this day with sup

1t Is difficult to imagine that the office
which was assumed with such feelings by
John Quincy Adams is the same which
Gen. Grant tells us he made such sacrifi-
ces to accept. and which he evidently re-
CARDS a lightly as he once might have
held the mayorship Of the city of Galena.

Viewing the public men of former age,
Invested Of the glamours which the past
throws around everything, they appear
very much as the public men OF the pres
ent, surrounded by no such plamours
appear. But the contrast between Grant
and John Quincy Adams, is not imagina-
ry. 1t is made strong by the different es-
Inmates placed by them on the highest Of
tce in the gift Of the people. The exam
Pile Of the statesman of the past may
safely be held up for imitation by the am.
bilious politicians OF the present. That

can have no influence but a debasing and
lowering one.

THE onDEa OF THE CINCINNATI.

ence in defense of the Society of the Gin

tack upon Mr. Storey, Of the Chicago
Times, that IL, to say the least of it, close
approach 10 scurrility. The oftensc Of
the editor was that one of his writers
spoke the truth about the Society of the
Cincinnati.
The establishment OF this Society was
mistake, and If it had not been for the
Indignant protests OF the people. it would
have become society dangerous to the
institutions Of the Republic. Composed
Of officers Of the Revolu tionary army, it
was to be hereditary in the families of the
members. 1T had a badge, or ORDER"

which were to be disposed Of at the dis
erection Of the members"
Washington. who was unlike President
Grant, was sensitive tothe expressions OF
public opinion; and, when the discon-
tents the organization Of the Society had
occasionedgre into clamorous censures,
at Its first general meeting, he exerted
himself successfully to have the most OBJ
jectionable features altered. But even
these notifications did not remove from
the Society the suspicious OF the people.
The Society has at this day six active
State branches, and still fiourishes. Its
members indulge somewhat in the pleas
ant illusion that they are in some way dis.
tinguished from the common mass of
their iellow-citizens, but all danger from
its tendencies has been DESTROYED.

temperance lectures. Ono night he an

ilrSt night not man showed himself in
tho hall. The benches were pretty we'll
fllled With women, though, and Hunt
commenced; but, instead of temperance,
ho put them through on tho vantics of
dress, etc. They wore great pulled
feather sleeves then. They-thc sleeves

SO on through the whole cntnloglla of
female lollIes; not word about temper

and voted old Hunt down to tho lowest
notch.

Long before tho timo appointed thoy

hobs'ed down the aisle the building was
