The Bn r!ington iawkeye explains
the antiquities Of the Democratic
platforms as follows:
1.-The financial plank in the Demo
cratic platfarn, although somewhat
obscure by reason of its peculiar and
superabandant verbiase, is Plain
enough when simplfied. Stripped 81
it's supertluous words, and reduced to
the plsinest English in which it is
possible to clothe that remarkagie
paragraph, it will read as follows
Resolved. That the legality of the le-
gal tender is tenderly legal, and legal
Iv tender, and the tenderly rendering
OF the legal lllegality by the Republi-
can party we hereby denounce. We
declare it as the sense of this ConHen-
ton that the resumption Of the re-
sumta5le by the resumtionists, other
wise than the legal tender OF the re-
suma5e resumpted, is not the re-
sumpting, but on the contrary: there
fore, Resolved, That we denounce the
Republican party"

ton Of the Repubii<'an National Con-
veution to the Vice Presidency. Ills

aid of street car yesterday to help to
to shorten the way home was a man
with graz locks and an old maid with
beauty catchers and false teeth. They
seemed to hate each other at first sight,
for he was hardly seated when he
growled:

there'a be twice as much room in street
cars
"lf men didn I sit cross-legged there'd
be three times as much room!" she snap

"lfI was woman, I wouldhf be

HEwIrT's DEFENCE OF TiLDEN.-
Mr.. Kasson, Of Iowa, won a high rank
among Republican heroes by bitter
attack upon Mr.. Tildcn in which he en-
deavored to give dignity and authority
TO lot Of foolish campaign SANDERS BY
rehearsing them before the House Of
Representatives,. He taxed the Dem
ocratic candidate with having written a
resolution which il is well known he
opposed with all his strength; with hav-
ing issued a circular letter which il is
a matter of public knowledge he never
saw until long after il was promulgated;
with completely in corrupt ring which
he cast out of power and scattered IN
exile and disgrace. The fresh venom
with which these old lies were told
seemed for time TO give them new
power for evil: but Mr.. Hewitt came
forward with honest Indignation and
crushed them under foot. The few
fiery and determined words with which
he exposed the SANDERS and declared
his faith in Governor Tilden's charac-
ter and his admiration for his ability
were overwhelming in effect. He sec.
onded his speech with letter fron, MI.
Marble explaining Governor Tildcn's
attitude during the civil war, which lett
his reputation higher than ever in the
public estimation. Thus Kasson sneaks
home discounted, and the people see
that our candidates record is not mere
ly unassailed, but that every new at
tack upon it reveals fresh proofs Of his
sagacity, patriotism and courage. Mr..
Hewitt's prompt and effective action on
this occasion will be extremely likely
to result in new demands upon him from
the Democratic party and the people Of
New Yerk.-.ter York World.

We have recently had the pleasure of
meeting In New Orleans two OF our old
army companions, Gen. Matt Harris
and Capt. Holland L. Coffee, Of Missis-
sippi. The meeting Of these two gallant
gentlemen calls to mind an incident
which occurred at the battle Of Spot
sylvania. Harris Mississippi brigade
had suffered terribly in fact il had been
cut all to pieces; but it never wavered.
SO heavy was the fire which
It had sustained. that just in
rear of one of its regiments
an oak tree eighteen inches in
diameter had been actually cut down by
minnie balls. 1t was in the very crisis
OF the battle; Gen. Matt Harris gath
cred the colors Of a regiment. the color
sergeant OF which had been shot down,
and sprang upon the breastworks Capt.
Coffee, Adiutant Peel, and several other
officers and men were around him; one
Of the officers said, General, drop those
colors, or you will be shot" "Neverl"
said Harris, and just then minnie ball
(they were flying thick as haiD struck
the gallant Peel in tho head, dashing
his brains and blood over Capt.
Coffee, who, almost Mt the same
minute, was struck by n ball
which knocked him down. In that
little party several officers and soldiers
fell. The brigade was literally cut to
pieces; one Of the regiments had every
field officer killed, but 1t held its ground.
Our noble and gallant friend. Gen.
Harris, seemingly escaped death by
miracle.
No more gallant brigade fought for
the Confederaey than this one. Feath-
erstone lead 1t through a number OF
battles, and when he turned 1t over to
Posey, remarked, General, the old
brigade has another good killing in 1t
yet" He was the same old hero who.
at Balls Bluff, lead his regiment into
the fight, giving the order to charge
and "drive them into the Potomac or
into hell" General Posey died from
wounds received at Bristow station.
General Harris was then made briga-
dier and commanded the brigade to the
close OF the war. We are informed that
there is a general wish among the
oncers and men OF this Mississippi
brlgade to have a reunion at some
early day, and we hope the idea will be
carried out, either at vicksburg or
jackson. :

A Home Artist.

We noticed, several days ago. in Du-
hamel's window, the Canal street op-
tician, a most curious tableau. Strewn
peIl Il-mcll upon table are fragments OF
cards.. bank notes, illustrated papers,
drawings, a slate, n compass and many
other articles, too numerous to mention,
drawn in crayon, water colors and In
dian ink. The general "get up" and
execution Of this picture denotes not
only talent, but q thorough mastery OF
the art Of drawing, and we were quite
surprised to learn that the author was a
clerk in one Of our largest sugar-houses,
and that this really remarkablef artistic
work was the result OF his very rare
leisure hours. As our citizens entertain
a legitimate pride for all evidence OF
home talent that produces itself, we feel
it but justice to let them know that the
author Of tho work alluded to Is Mr.
J. p. O'Connell, a clerk OF Messrs.
A. Thomson IL Co., and son Of B. O'Con-
nell, Esq, one Of our most honored and
respected citizens.
