They have story at Albany that
William Cullen Bryant after dinner pro-
posed the health of Mr.. Tilden, describ-
ing him either as the next President or
the next Democratic candidate for Presi-

siasm.
WASHINGTON letter to New York
Times: "Who will be the next
Speaker2 is the great political conun-
most frequently heard is, Mr. Randall,
of Philadelphia, although society
prefers MIR. Fernando Wood
The Des Moines Reoister saws: ga
correspondent asks, How will the next
Senate stand?' It will stand with six
Republican majority, at the worst-and
IN this estimate the new Senators from
Nebraska, Wisconsin and Michigan are
not counted as Republican"
SOME one having said that Gov.
Samuel J. Tilden is at present the
man most likely to receive the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency.
the Cincinnati Enquirer remarks oOur
observation is that very little attention is
being given just now to the manufacture
of Presidents. If Democratic conyen-
ton was held next week, however.
William Allen would be discovered to be
a very troublesome man. Samuel J.
Ilden may be very popular down in the
East, but in the West and South he is
not, as the sports say, deuce high.'''
RALPH WALDO EMERSON, the Concord
sage, Judge Hoar's fellow-townsnan
was never known to get off but one Joke
IN his life, and that had an asperity In
it totally foreign to his nature. It was
just after Judge Hoar's little experience
with the Senate on the subject of a Su-
preme Court Judgeship. The papers
had all had their say about it-rather an
unaniable say as far as the Judge was
concerned. So, still smarting slightly
from the sting, he strolled down to his
friends one fair afternoon, and went up
into the orchard with him. sHow do
you kill your canker worms ?' asked he
of his host, seeing the trees had black
bandages around them. Swell" said
the philosopher, In his mild voice. CT
Kill them very much as they do poiti-
cians-with printers ink.
PHOTOGRAPH of Pinchback &c His most
particular blographer says he was born
in Georgia, educated in Ohio, and en-
franchised in Louisiana His complexion
is of a light yellow shade, his manners
are gentlemanly, his attire is fashionable,
and his decided passion is cockfghting.
He it was who threatened to apply the
torch to New Orleans If the whites CON
tlnued their persecution of his race. In
the fight between Governor Warmoth
and the late Lieutenant Governor Dunn,
Mr.. Pinchback took the side of the
former, and when the whirligig of pol
tics developed many antagonistic ele-
ments, he suddenly became Lieutenant
Governor of the State. He is said to be
a sharp debater, and to possess an init
macy with all the tricks of modern
representation.
