The Dove OF Peace.

A bootblack lost dove from his cot
about week ago, and yesterday, while
crossing the Campus Martius, he dis
covered the missing bird. Seizing
handful of mud he gave it throw jnst
as the bird arose. A man was stand
ing on box, selling some sort OF oil,
and the mud struck him fat in the face.
He got down, eyes full OF mud, and,
feeling around him, called out:
81 want it understood that this bold
attempt to crush out free speech does
not make me quail in the least! Some
one slide up here within reachl"
Several persons slid the other way,
taking n large part OF his stock. When
he had cleared his eyes and discovered
his loss he mounted the box and said
Gentlemen, tyrants and usurpers,
take 10 all back. Trot up your state oi
aruachy, bring out your red-handed
bastiles, and let me hear the siren voice
of monarchy Who'll have the next
bottle.-[Detroit Free Press.

The New York Tribune publishes an
interview with General Sicklss. We
give the expression Of opinion rs to
Democratic resistance:
Reporter-General, how, in your
opinion will it all end? What may be
expected from the Democratic party il
Governor Hayes is DECLARED elected?
General Sickles-I think Mr.. Tilden
will acquiesce. / have known him
many years. He is q man of great sa-
gacity, of very large observation of
public affairs, and OF singular skill in
the direction OF political movements.
/ cannot reconcile my high estimate of
Mr.. Tilden's ability with the absurd
theory put forth by some OF his parti-
sans that he will accept so-called cleo
ton at the hands Of the House OF Rep
resentatives, after Hayes shall have
been solemnly proclaimed President by
the presiding offiesr of the Senate aud
sworn into Office, as he will be. by the
Chief Justice OF the Supreme Court Of
the United States. Such q step on
Mr.. Tilden's part would be an act of
open rebellion, and upon him and his
AOilOWtEo fcot thc consequence
Neither Grant nor Hayes would play
with rebellion as Buchanan tolerated il
in 1861. Measures swift and stern
would follow the first overt act. But
it is hardly worth while to dwell on a
contingency so remote. Mr.. Tilden is
not likely TO attempt anything unpatri-
otic, unstatesmanlike, or impracticable.
Where would he establish his capital !?
1.-The attempted to get possession OF the
White House, General Sherman would
have him in custody before be crossed
the threshold. II he should adopt
New York as his capital, where is his
treasury? All public servants, all Fed
eral officers, without exception, would
recognize and obey the orders Of law
full President. Governor Hayes. Where
would he find his army and navy
Sherman and Porter would take their
orders only from Hayes. Would he
undertake to resist by force of arms
the lawful authority of the President,
proclaimed in obedience to the Consti-
tuition and in accordance with all the
precedents of our history? That would
be war, and Mr.. Tilden is not a man to
follow the example OF JEFF Davis.

Home Life n Hundred Year. Ago.


From the New Haven Register.
One hundred years ago not a pound
OF coal nor a cubic foot of Illuminating
gas had been burned in this country.
No iron stoves we're used and no con-
trivances for economizing heat were
employed until DIR. Franklin invented
the iron-framed fireplace which still
bears his name. All the cooking and
warming, in town as we'll as in the
country, were done by the aid OF fire
kipdled on the brick hearth or in the
brick ovens. Pine knots or tallow can
dies furnished the lights for the long
winter nights, and sanded floors suppl.
ed the place Of rugs or carpets. The
water used for household purposes was
drawn from deep wells by the creaking
sweep" No form OF pumps vas used
in this county, so far as we can learr,
until after the commencement OF the
present century. There were no fric-
ton mstches in those early days by the
kindled, and II the fire went out" mp
on the hearth over night, and the tin.

not catch, the alternative remained oi

one room in the house was warm unless
some Of the family were i'll in all th,
