The President in Boston.

This thing is really going to far. The
Tammany Society, defunct political
organization of this city, materialized
long enough the other day to entreat
the country to be on its guard against
"the craft and unscrupulons methods
of President Hayes, and the republican
''soreheads" have been denouncing him
for three months for his Southern policy.
There is general howl about the new
civil service order too. And yet not
only Boston, but apparently consid-
able part of New England, turned out
yesterday to welcome the President. 1t
is too bad. A great crowd, delighted
to see the President; procession
marching through streets decorated
with flowers; the whole population in
the streets with enthusiastic shouts;
big hall full of people anxious to shake
hands with the President and his Cab
met; cordial welcome also everywhere
TO "that rebel fellow Key

can "soreheads" to come in out of the
cold? What is the use of standing out

He Changed His Mind.

Apropos to the power of the press, the
late John Forsyth, of Alabama, was
accustomed to illustrate the advantage
Of advertising, and told the following
story with much gusto. He made a
wager with a merchant who denied
that advertising was of benefit to the
advertiser. In the event of proof to
the contrary, the merchant was to pay
for such an advertisement as Forsyth
should dictate, and an oyster supper to
boot. OF course, Forsyth should do the
same If he lost. The editor said to the
merchant:
"Write-'Wanted to purchase a
dog" The number of the residence
and the name of the street was given,
and In the wager it was stipulated that
the want should be put in nonpareil
and in an obscure corner of Forsyth's
paper. Next day the merchant called
at the office of the Register looking ex-
tremely annoyed. His house was be-
sieged with men having dogs to sell.
The dogs were brought to his door, and
