This notion that some of the bush.
whackers are SO industriously fostering
that there is only one man in the coun-
try who is big enough to fill the Presi-
dential chair, should be crushed. When
things get to that pass, it will be time to
set up a despotism. Mr.. Bristow has
made hard fight against the whisky
thieves. He has made it under the di-
rection Of the President. Grant took
hold Of the rings, and smashed them
with Bristow. If anybody is entitled to
the reward of the Presidency for this
work, IL is the commander, not the man
who did what he was told TO do. It was
Bristow's good fortune to be in a place
where his courage found exercise. There
are other men in the country who would
have fought as stout fight. The notion
that there are not, is disgraceful and
Pusillanimous. All this prating about
there being only one man worthy the
nomination In puerile. cowardly and un-
republican. .-[Cincinnati Times.

between broad fields OF wheat and corn,
as a the Iowly home where was born;
And the woodbine waSders over all;
nnmfn I'm the shaded doorway siilf,
nut strangers foot has crossed the sill.
There is the barn and as OF yore
can smell the hay TIN ough the open door,
And see the busy swallows throng,
And hear the peewees mournful song;
BUT the stranger comes-oh! mournful proof
His sheaves are piled to the heated roof.
There Is the orchard the very trees
wneTe my childhood knew long hours OF case

Iii M lire lmbiDed more shade than sun;
Ine swing from the bough still sweeps the air
But the strangers children are swinging there
There babbies the shady spring below,
Win 1h buirush banks where the hazes grow;
Twas there found the calamus root,
ana watched the minnows poise and shoot,
And heard the robin lave his wing:
But the strangers bucket n at the spring.
Oh, We who daily cross the SILL
step lightly, for love 10 still;
And when you crowd the old barn caves,
1hen think what countless harvest sheaves
have passed within the scented door
no gladden. the eyes that are no more.
Deal kindly with these orchard trees;
And when your children crowd their knees,
1nelr sweetest fruits they shall impart,
As IL old memories stirred their heart;
To youthful sports still leave the swing,
And I'm sweet reverence hold the spring.
The barn, the brook, the trees, the birds.
The meadows with their lowing herds,
The woOdbine ON the cottage wall Hn@n
NY heart stln fingers with them ALL

The editor of the Phoebe (Nev.) Record
cannot tell lie, but after recountiDg the
journey of contractor with drove OF
mules from Belmont to Hike, where no water
was to be had for two days, he thus describes
the effect of the scent Of the water at Logan
Springs on the animals: "The whole body
began to move forward at good pace, in
creasing it as the smell of water grew strong, +
until the whole band was in keen run.
The spring vas reached, but the water bad
to be dipped up in buckets, and it became
necessary to knock down number Of mules
with clubs in order to allow the men to get
to the spring. One mule, craZed with thirst,
got away with thirteen buckets Of water, and
had to be dubbed away in order to allow
some other possessor Of Il pair Of long ears
chance. He went out and took roll, came
back, and wanted more. The bucket held four
gallons, and he would get away with one at
gulp."

They tell an anecdote at Washington Of q
certain congl eSsman who proclaimed that a
rigid system OF economy must be practsed,
as the various failures here. there, and every
where had dwarted the amount of his annual
income. ''But what am to do for party
dresses!" asked the anxious wife. "Leave
that matter to me, my dear, and l will ar
range it to your satisfaction" soothingly re.
piled the legislator. Calling in reporter he
set before him tempting array of edibeS,
with wine enough to send warmth through
his veins and generous throbs to his heart
strings. Now, my friend" said the NJ. c.,
II want to employ you to describe my wife's
dresses this winter, OF, rather, she will de-
scribe them, and you can insert the descrip-
tons in your various papers. Here's ten
dollars for your trouble and seat at our Ia
BILE when you're hungry" The result is
that Mrs. n. C. appears clothed in such gor-
geousness as was on ly known to Solomon in
all his glory. Yet her wardrobe is exceed
ingly circumscribed.
