How He ADvERrIsEDFoR Wire.
During the sessions of the State
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, in
this city, the place of meeting was
filed with farmers, their wives and
fair daughters and some young
bachelor farmers, who, of course,
were anxious that the fair damsels
should know that they yearned for
some one to make brighter the farm
house for them, -superintend the
dairy and darn the stockings of
their spouses. But just how to pass
round this information to the young
ladies wasn't known. Finally it
clme about in one Instance in the
following amusing manner: The
roll was called, and those who
brought their wives and daughters
were asked to answer "Here, and
wife, or "IIere, wife and daughter, :"
as the case might be. a large mum
Der of names had beel. called aud
every one turned to see who ansW er-
ed, and each time the @Here" was
followed by an addendum but at
last came a name we'll call john
Smith, and the young ladies all
turned their eyes to where a tall,
angular young farmer sat. He turn
ed red, stammered, coughed, and
finally recovering himself, answered:
''Here, and SINGLE" and after the
session they made the young man
unhappy by accusing him of adver-

ALEXANDER HAMILToN.-Alexan-
der Hamilton was, next to Frank
In, the most consumate statesman
among the band of eminent men
who had been active in the Reyolua
tion, and who afterward labored to
convert a loose confederation of
States into national governmen'.
His mind was as plastic as it was
vigorous and profound. 1t was the
appropriate intellectual expression
of poised nature whose power was
rarely obtruSive, because it was
half concealed by the harmonious
adjustment of its various faculties.
I, IL was mind deep enough to grasp
prlcipals, and broad enough To re-
gard relations, and fertile enough
to devise measures. Indeed, tile
most practical of our early states
men was also the most siHveDtive.
He was as ready with new expedi-
ents to meet unexpected emergen-
cies as he was wise in subordinaling
all expedients to clearly defined
principles. In intellect he was prob
ably the most creative Of our early
statesmen as in sentiment Jefferson
was the the most widely influential.
And Hamilton was so bent on prac-
tical ends that ne was Indifferent to
the reputation which might have re-
suited from parade of originality
in the means he devisedf for their ac-
complishment. There never was
statesmall less egotistic, less desirous
of Labelling policy as ''my" policy;
and one OF the sources of his infu-
ence was the subtitle way in which he
.lnsinuated into other minds ideas
which they appeared to originate.
His moderation, his self-command,
the exquisite courtesy of his man.
ners, the persuasiyeness of his ofdin-
AIRY speech, the facination of his ex-
traordinary speeches, and the min
gled dignity and ease with which he
met men of all degrees of intellect
and character, resulted in making
his political partisans look up TO
him as almost an object of political
alteration. It is difficult to say
what this accomplished man might
have done as leader of the Federal
opposition to the Democratic admin
istrations of Jefferson and Madison,
had he not, in the maturity Of his
years and in the full vigor of his
faculties, been murdered by Aaron
Burr. Nothing can better illustrate
the folly of the practice of dueling
than the fact that, by weak compli-
ance with its maxims, the most emi
nent of American statesmen died by
the hand of the most infamous of
American demagogues.-Harper'
Magazine for Fsbrtsar,y.

The Election In this City Yesterday-The
Democrats Tripped up In their ''stiiI

Yesterday was a regular November day, with a
cold northeastern rainstorm that began the night
previous and continued all day. TWAS hard work
getting into the city from the country, but the
people managed to come out, and pretty full
vote was thrown. The democrats had been on the
"sill hunt" since the October elections and took
particular pains TO get out their voters. 10 some
eases democrats walked five OF six miles in the
mud and rain for the sake Of voting. Somehow
they battered themselves with the idea that the
republicans woe iestrg upon their laurels won in
September. But the republicans came up to the
work nobly, aad without any special effort, con-
scious that when the enemy is active then is the
time for patriots 10 be aroused. The republicans
must feel peculiar satisfaction in the victory they

of thcir opponents The result shows how easy it
is TO whip the democrats if the republicans only
