THE HOMES OF MEN,

There are few words in our language as
suggestive as home. It is the grandest
factor in the sum of our civilization. In
it the domestic virtues are nurtured, and
those family ties which give tone to socie-
ty and burgeon into patriotism. That
'there's no place like home" is recog-
nized as touching truth by those who
have wandered away from homes endear-
ments, to "weep and feel that they have
none" 1t is the holy of holes to all that
is domestic in our nature and to its
sacredness both births and deaths admin
lister.
But how different the homes of men are,
even in this age; how wondrously different
they have been during the traditional and
historical centuries which have faded
away since the grand old gardener and his
wife com menced their toll in Eden! Tue
earliest homes were the simplest. Like
Gods first temples, they were reared by
the Infinite Architect Himself. Beneath
the outrageous branches of tree the
parents of our race sought their messy
couch,
When evening let her curtain down,
And pinned it with star"
They had an orchestra of birds to
cheer them with matin songs when
they awakened, and their home was
doubtless dear to them till they
were driven forth, to seek new homes
and learn for themselves what varied

Some of Tilden's apologists boast that
their leader is can unyielding foe to
thieves" We believe there is some foun-
dation for this claim. Tweed complains
that Tilden quarreled with him and
turned his back as soon as Governor
Dix got him in the penitentiary. Since
Tilden has been elected Governor he has
resolutely refused to help his old friend,
though his winking at his escape looks
like faint return of sympathy. The
sheriff who had charge of the prisoner and
the deputy who drove him out in car
rage every day to take the air and see his
family, still remain in Office. Sammy has
certainly yielded little in this part of the
business. But it does not follow that it
was on account Of his love for his old po-
litical partner. There were at that par
ticular time divers weighty reasons why
Tweed should go abroad. The whole
Tammany brood wished to get him out of
the way and his escape, if not actually
planned, was most happy coincidence. I
It is very certain that Tilden don't want
to see Tweed land in this country
till after the election. This is shown
in the nervous anxiety displayed by all |
the New York Tilden organs when the |
news came that 'Twid" was to be put |
aboard the Franklin and shipped home.
The Sun was very sure that such employ
ment of man.of-war was illegal. Others
declared the Spanish government has no
right to deport thief, and that the order
of extradition is as unconstitutional as a
verdict of jury convicting Ku-KIux
murderer. We suppose the prompting |
motive is the same in each case. Respect |
for the law has nothing to do with it any |
more than it has with Tilden's unyielding
hostili.y-begot of fear-towards the |
prisoner of Vigo. Self interest, party adj
vantage, fear of exposure-anything but !
patriotism-is at the bottom of Tilden's |
hostility to thieves and the Democratic |
concern about Tweed's return.

THE FINANCIAL EXCITEMENT SUBSID-
ING

| 1Nd
Burnt fingers again abound on Wall
street, and the spectators are nursing
their wounds. On the eighteenth, ac-
cording to the dispatches, 'boisterous and
excited brokers bid for any amount (of
gold) at almost any price" We presume
they got more than they wanted, for after
exciting the market up to 1871, it has
dropped in two days to 1lOs. 1t opened
on the morning of the eighteenth at 1O9aa,
touched about four points above, and then
as suddenly fell three and halt.
This prompt rally proves that the credit
of this government is too strong, its
resources too great, and its position too
solid to be shaken all to pieces by few
thousand excited individuals on Wall
street, who can only scare each other by
their panics. Those who rushed into the
Exchange on Wednesday, crying, "Gold,
gold, at any price," are now very much
concerned to know what they are going
to do with what they bought at 1134.
They hopedto be selling out by this time
at 100, or as much more as they could
squeeze out of the importers, but in con-
sequence of serious fault in their sa-
gacity, amounting to at least ten points,
they are in very bad predicament.
The trouble with all the worlds fnan.
cial sharps and spectators is that there
are too many lines of telegraph in daily
operation and too many daily newspapers
to permit them to enjoy monopoly Of in
telligence. There is no longer that de-
pendence upon the views of fnanciers, as
stock and money dealers call themselves,
which once existed. Hence, wars and
rumors of wars fail to have the disastrous
influence upon regular business they ex-
erted before the age of steam and cleo
tricity. By the time the boisterous and
excited brokers or their clients get rid of
the cargoes of gold which they bought on
the eighteenth, they will be much poorer,
but, we hope, wiser men. They may then
lake their place in the ranks of those who
have had experience-and losses,
