Clusters Appearance in the Great
Review of 1855.

Among all those who took part in the
review OF May, 1860, none made so
dramatic appearance as Custer. A cor
respondent of the New York World
described him thus:
The Third Cavalry approaches, and
while il is yet far in the distance II
notable and romantic episode occurs. A
horseman is seen dashing up the street
at a break.neck pace. HIS large bay
horse, OF almost baronial blood, leaps in
the air as if it were his proper element,
and with the suppleness oi a serpent.
His flanks head to mis- shoulder, and his
curvlng neck sWo0ps down TO his saddle
pemmcl. Only a centaur could keep mis-
seat on such stallion.
But The hurseman, whose white gaunt-
let's are wound in the reins, has famed
men as well as horses. His name is
Custer, and he is OF a shape 10 recall the
picturesquenesS Of feuual years, of a
spirit imuumltable and erratic. His COM
pexion is that OF a follower Of Odin, the
lar ard rulldy, and is set in a sunrise OF
golden hair, WHICH rippies upon his blue
shoulders shrouding the double stars
and on his LETT arm hangs o broad
wreath OF eyergreens. His steed, as II
in the lists, has leaped SO high as to
tnrow bis foot from the stlrrup, and
shake his sword from his scabbard.
His hat blows away, and Ill the sunshine
his locks, unskeined, stream a foot
behind him. 1t is d runaway, like The
cuarge of "a Sioux cnieitain, and all the
people rise half in wonner, half in shud-
der. The cheer that was TO have greeted
him fails 10 siDllant hush--a dozen
oruerlies sweep in pursuit, the President
and CaDmet start up III involuntary tear;
put to those III passing Custer throws a
rapid salute ana bends his wild horses
Bit down to his sttgrups, and stops him
as If strong mans VIII had chained a
thunderbolt. so tanned and doclie, the
sLeed ambes back, the President salute S
this soldier-Rarey, and the street rings
with the Involuntary homage of tue
everyday heart TO the man Of romance.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS
News from All Quarters and Both
Sides.

Gen. Garfield has signified his ac-
ceptance OF denomination to Congress
from his dietrict.
Gen. Singleton, Of Illinois, is an
nounced as about to take the stump for
the Peter Cooper ticket.
Ex-senator Trum0ull, of Illinois,
announces himself in favor of Tilden,
and offers his services on the stump to
the Democratic Committee.
The Oskaloosa Reform Leader, a
strongly Democratic paper, bolts the
Democratic ticket, and runs up the
greenback flag OF Peter Cooper.
The Springfield Republican seems to
think by the way Grant is carrying on
that he means Tilden, and that heis GER
tainly not advancing the interest OF
Hayes or the Republican party.
The managers of the Greenback
party declare they will have an elec-
toral ticket in every State of the Union.
1t is believed that Peter Cooper will
poll much larger vote than 0'Connor
polled in 1872.
H. II. Williams, proprietor of the
Glenwood Criterion, who was devoted
70 EX-Gov. Allen for the Presidency,
has made over the care OF his paper to
his foreman till alter the election; and
he himself retires pro TEN.
The Charleston IS. C.) Journal of
Commerce declares that the Democrats
Of South Carolina will not yield to dis
cipline but remain personally obstinate.
IL warns them that without discipline
! they must expect defeat.
Mr.. Sam. Bard, Ex-Postmaster OF
Atlanta, Ga, who was removed from
Office for what Postma ster General jew
ell described as "slashing around too
much and being too unanimous" :" has de-
cided to support the st. Louis ticket.

A DEAD LOCK.-What means this dead
lock on the subject of an appropriation
by Council for the much-needed street
repairs? Can it be that Councilmen and
Aldermen are determined to crush out
the Board of Public Works by withhold
ing the necessary funds Tor prosecuting
the works under the control of the Board
We have heard such intimations among
the people. And they were generally
coupled with some eXpletives that were
more serviceable for emphasis than for
piety. II has been very freely intimated
as an open secret that the purpose of the
Council is to recover the patronage Of
the public works, by refusing to respond
to the proper calls of the Board for
means, and to thereby make them obi
Gus as being neglectful of the public
needs.
But that little game won't work. The
people will discover where the clover
foot is hidden. And when they see the
city's streets and sewers and thorough
fares falling into diapidation and ruin,
they will quickly learn where the blame
lies, and will hold the seheming parties
to strict accountability.
1t is manifest that the streets of Gin
cinnati were never before in such hor-
rible condition since the days when they
were cow pahs. Whole squares have
to be avoided and gone around by We
hicles, as the streets are dangerous or
impossible. Time and again has the at
tention of the Board OF Public Works
been called to this disgraceful condition
of things, and the only answer is-"We
have no funds" The Board has called
upon Council in both branches, request
ing meeting for action upon this SUBJ
ject. But no quorum attends and moth
ing can be done. 1t would seem that
Council intended to get clear of the
Board by starving them out. If that be
the scheme, the people will be heard
from in such manner as shall make
Councilmen sleep uneasily o'nights.
The small morsel appropriated Tues
day for general street purposes only in
dloate the intent to issue starvation al
lowances, in order that the Board OF
Public Works may be kept merely in a
languishing condition, not able to live
nor quite able to die.

The Principles of Reform.

The political press of the country, of
all shades of opinion, is clamorous for
''Relorm." But while "reiorm, reform"
is conspicuous in every column, the
reader of party papers may search in
vain for any specifications as to partie-
ular modes of effecting reform, or for
any well defined principles upon which
reforms are to be founded. That re-
forms are needed no one will deny.
The very universality of the demand
implies their need. But radical changes
in public affairs, if made without princi-
pies to guide, may be only changes from
bad to worse. Such changes can be only
superficial. They may cieatrze the
sore, but do not remove the lurking cor
ruption within. Such changes are never
worthy Of the name Of refolm.
A nation, Like man, is prone to hide
from itself the contemplation of it's tend
ency to decay. 1t breads to look upon
its own decline. Unwilling to face the
worst, it occupies itself with eXpedi-
ents for prolonging its present condi-
tion. Statesmen are apt to consider it
the chief end Of government to keep all
things as they are. forgetful that the ell
ementary condition OF all vital force is
change. The national life, like the hu-
man life, isnever at absolute rest. To
meet these changes and make the ad.
ministration of public affairs 10 duly
conform thereto, is the best part OF
craftsmanship. To correct what is evil
and TO adopt what is good in these natu-
raj and inherent changes is the true ba-
sis OF reform.
TO willfully adhere to the obsolete
landmarks Of party creeds, is to assume
that political infallibility has been
reached, and to presume that all things
in government are changeless. The pi-
lot on the river has greater wisdom than
this: he disregards the old landmarks
when the channel has been changed.
The statesman must do the same, or re-
form becomes impossible. The new con.
ditions render such obsolete landmarks
not only delusive, but dangerous.
Without changes, national progress
were impossible. And dyet these changes
are NOT lawless. The progress of ma
tions does not go forward in erratic
forms, but by fixed order of march.
From this there is no escape: and in
this all must join, always encounterng
al inevitable succession OF events.
which ultimately eliminate in a
new condition Of national exist,

fui, but sometimes warlike; but still q
revolution. But such revolutions o.
changes, indicating a nation's progress,
are not begotten by chance. They are
subservient to the law of progression
and such law is the law of reform. For
social order can not proceed from the
slaws OF disorder" To be sure, there
Hre sudden strides of advancement, yio-
tent oscillations Of development. In ma

A Patriotic Wedding.
(From the Leayenworth (K~) Times.

From the LeaVenWorth (h.) Times,
The good and patriotic people Of Wes.
ton, MO-, celebrated the Centennial
Fourth as any town should, aud the
programme was, as is usual on such oe-
casions, an excellent one. Good speeches
were made by several prominent men,
and good time generally was enjoyed.
Shortly alter the general programme had
been gone through with, a new and
unique feature was introduced. The Rev.
Mr.. Beall stepped forward on the plat
form and announced that he wouid snort
ly introduce to the audience Mr.. and Mrs.
James Anderson, OF Kansas, but be.
fore he could do SO he would be obliged
to change The name of Miss Emma
Southard, of Kansas, to that Of Ander-
son, W which he proceeded to do by calling
the happy looking James and the biusiI-
Ing Emma upon the stand, whom he
united in the holy bonds OF matrimony;
after which he turned to the audience
and redeemed his pledge by performing
the ceremony of the introduction he had
promised. The happy pair We're con-
graduated with rounds of applause, and
when it was made known that they,
having been prevented from getting
married IN Kansas, had sought the more
congenial shores OF Missouri, The welkjn
rang again with cheers. The newly
married pair have returned to their
home In this State, and will np doubt
long remember their centennial +"
union.
