I.ongfellow :-"Men of genius are often dull in
society; as the blazing meteor when it descends
to earth is only stone.'
There were magnificent demonstrations Monday
night in New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
There were monstrous professions, brilliant illu-
limitations, beautiful decorations, delightful music
and much enthusiasm.
The celebration of Independence Day. which
began yesterday, was more general and enthusi-
astc than the most sanguine anticipations had
foreshadowed The display of bunting Of all
coors and emblematic of every nationality, was
most magnificent and large crowds of people
wandered through the streets, in spite Of the heat,
in admiration of the exhibitions seen in every
thoroughfare. The illumination at night was even
more general than the decorations of the day had
been, and naturally much more picturesque. The
principal streets were hung from one end to the
other with Chinese lanterns, and when the torch
lit up by moving torches, brilliant gas jets and
innumerable bonfres. The procession numbered
fully $4,000 persons, and its march through the
entire route was between continuous masses of
human beings crowding the sidewalks and peer
ing from windows Of the houses on either side.
The midnight ceremonies at Union square were
of the most impress i've character, the % combined
brass bands of over 400 pieces and the 600 voices
in the chorus producing most sublime and in-
spring musical effect. The display of fireworks
usual on the Fourth began soon after darkness set
in last night, and the second century of independ-
ence was ushered in by the artillery of the forts
in the bay, the chimes of the city bells in pro.
lonecd peals, and the noisestas we'll most bril-
liant explosions of fireworks ever seen In the city

Thou canst not say did it; never shake
Those CORY locks at me,
for YOU WERE at least passive ACCOMPLlCE
in the GIANT FRAUDS of last November.
Your name was used without public protest on
your part, in circulars sowed broadcast over the
State whereof the manifest intent was to make
assurance doubly sure" that the frauds here per-
petraed should not be overborne by the honest
vote of the rural district. And you, not merely
by silence, but by POSITIVE ASSUMPTION,
HAVE COVERED THOSE FRAUDS WITH THE MAN

Mr.. Tiden, you and were ardent participants
in the struggle of lS40 wherein Martin Van Buren,
was ousted from the Presidency by Cen Harrison.
You know how thoroughly our city was absorbed
in that contest wherein every man, woman and
child took deep and lively interest. Our cleo
tions were then held throughout three days.
There was q registration freshly enacted which
black legs had not yet learned to circumvent, the
right of suffrage was not widely dfused as it now
is, and no one ever complained that single legal
voter was unable to poll his vote. And though
our city has since largely increased its population,
the lower wards were quite as populous then as
they are to-day-several of them more SO. They
were full of boarding houses crowded with clerks
and mechanics; many of these covered sites since
given up to great warehouses and manufactures;
their denizens have moved up town, over to
Brooklyn, or out on some of the railroads that lead
into the open country. Practically the lower
wards are given up to commerce, and no longer
shelter by night the multudes who throng their
streets by day.
Now look at the vote of four Of these wards in

A Good Republican Sign in New
York. An Important IndOrsc.

Perhaps no body OF men of equal num-
bers exercises larger influence upon the
political thought and tendencies of the
country than the Union League of New
York. Composed of some thousands of
the best and strongest men of the metro
polis-merchants, lawyers, clergymen,
journalistic is in the largest sense a rep
resentative organization. as to all matters
OF public concern of the sentiment of the
dominant influences in society, The
League, as is we'll known, while not a
partisan body, has usually supported Re
publican candidates and measures as most
nearly representing the views and pur-
poses OF its members. Latterlv, however,
recognizing the need of reform in our pol
tiles. ii has set itself strongly against the
tendencies to machine nominations in the
Republican ranks, and we speak what we
know when VIC say that no men contribut-
ed more infuentially to the result achieved
at Cincinnati than prominent members of
the League who, with no personal ends to
serve, labored only to promote the inter
ests OF the party and the welfare of the
country. And now we have from the
League Itself an emphatic approval of the

Van Burens majority, 726. Hohman's M jJrlty
HAS.
Mr.. Tldep, you know what this contrast attests.
Right we'll do you comprehend the means whereby
the vote of 1868 was thus sweled out Of all proper
tions. There are not Il, 900 legal poters Huing in
these uards today, though they gaos Hoffman II,
4i3 majority. Had the day been of average
length it would doubtless have been swelled to ct
least 20 900. There was nothing but time needed
to make it 100 co., if so many had been wanted
and paid for.
Now, Mr.. Tilden, call on you to put stop to
this business. You have but to walk into the
Sheriff"s, the Mayor and the Supervisors offices
in the City Hall Park, and say that there must be
no ofit-say it SO that there shall be no doubt
that you mean it-and we shall have tolerable
fair election more. Probably good part of the
$4,000 supplied last Fall with bogus naturalization
certificates will offer to register and vote, some
of them pretending not to know that they are no
more citizens OF the United States than the King
of Dahomey is; but very few will vote repeatedly
unless paid for it, and we shall not be cheated
more than 10000 if you simply tell the boss work
men that there must be no illegal voting instgat-
ed and paid for.
Will you do it Your reputation is at stake.
The cowardly craft which
"Would not play false, and yet would wrongly
win,
Will not avail If we republicans are swindlcd
again as we were swindled last Fall, you and such
as you will be RESPONSIBLE TO GOD AND
MAN FOR THE OUTRAGE.
Prosecutors, magistrates, municipal authori-
ties are all in the pool; we have no hope of the
ministers of justice, and the villains have no fear
Of the terrors Of the law. l appeal to you, and
anxiously await the result. Yours,

G~rape-GatheriRg Danlselso

The war correspondent of the London
Telegraph writes: "a prettier sight
presently came beneath my notice, one
forming q strange contrast to the heavy,
saddening spectacle [ had lately wit
messed. / have mentioned the vineyards
of Turkey and Servia. Those of the
las. named country have, wherever we
have gone, been effectually cleaned of
whatever grapes they boasted; bu: in
| Turkey the harvest has now come, and
as in the times when Horatius kept the
bridge in the brave days of old, so
now the girls of the country have to
gather the vintage. The sires have had
to drive the wagons of grain, forage,
and the ammunition to the army; have
had to take back into Nisch the wound
ed soldiers who have fallen in the fight;
have been told off to bury the dead out
of the sight of the living, and AID in
moving the tents and material of the
army. Thus to these young maidens
has been entrusted the task of gather
ing in the wheat and barley, and to
them also has fallen the labor Of bring
ing in the grapes. l suppose that even
in better times this has been
their work, for the harvest of
the vineyard has many a pretty custom
connected with it which surely can not
be the o~utgrowth of a devastating war.
1t is when the grapes are purple or
transparent that the Bulgarian damsel
dons a new attire, plaits her hair with
gaudy ribbons, fastens to her head
dress pieces of gold if she be rich, or
copper if she be poor, and sallies forth
to pluck the rich fruit. We met a little
procession of these youthful danes ge-
ing out to a vineyard on our way to
Nisch. Seated in the rough wagons of
the country, with baskets on their
arms, gay in their bright dresses and
radiant with smiles, they were being
slowly drawn by bullocks, which, being
lazily tended by boyish drivers, rolled
first to one side and then to the other
of the rough, badly made road. Every
now and then n of the party would
break u into snatches of song, and
then there would be a peal of laughter,
so careless were they of the passing
hour. To one just fresh from the hor-
rors of war it vas strange to see such
merriment so close to so much devas-
tation and misery"

Discovery Of Animal Remains.

An important discovery of numerous
well preserved bones of diluvian ami
mails is reported from Steeten, on the
Lain, in Germany. The cave in which
they were found was accidentally laid
open by the fall of / colossal block of
dolomite, which had closed it water
tight. A dry, soft, dolomite sand, which
filled the cave, had preserved the or
ganic remains most beautifully, with
out any incrustation. The bones were
those of the cave-lion, larger than the
present African lion, of the cave-bear,
and the cave-hyena, the latter of much
more powerful build than the living spe-
cies. There were also remnants of the
horse, the OK, the stag, the rhinoceros
and the elephant, as well as of several
smaller animals, which had been the
prey of the lion, the bear, and the hy-
ena. 1t seems that the elephant calves
had by preference been attacked and
devoured by those diluvian carnivora.
So-called koproliths, or petrifed excre-
ments, were numerousIy mixed with the
medley of bones. 1t need scarcely be
said that the several beasts of prey did
not inhabit the a together, but that
similar species of them used it during
successive periods. A good selection of
the remains found is contained in the
museum at Wiesbaden.
