threw chairs at the chandeliers,
smashed the glass doors of the

puifel in tho faces of ladies, filled

were arrested by the police justified
themselves on the ground that the
call for the meeting denounced vivi'.

throo o'clock yesterday afternoon,
NJ. G. HarLwell's horse, attached to

near the corner of Michigan avenue

hitchea to the post in front Of him.
In the wagon was seated Mr..
Hartwell's four year old daughter.
Suddenly two dogs engaged in q
fight, and swapping, growing, and
biting, the CANNES rolled over each
other until they were exactly
beneath the unfastened horse. The
horse, with almost human intelli-
genco, turned his head as though to
satisfy himself that the little girl
was in the wagon, and then, instead
of starting off on q run, as might
have beon expected, he il rstiouted n
series of powerful, yet careful,
movements with his hoofs, and
succeeded in kicking the ours away
from each other and beneath his
,heels.-Detroit Tree Press.

SECRETARY EvARTs TALKS.

Mr.. EvARrs has been interviewed by the
New York Tribune ON the political sltua-
ton, and his utterances are as full OF wis
dom, unity, and harmony as they can well
be. If Mr.. CONKLING and Mr. EvARrs can
at this em condole together under the bed
clothes OF fraternity, peace, and harmony,
even GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS can throw
down the weapons OF his rebellion and
snuggle up TO these eminent statesmen
under the same quilt. Then the surface ol
the Republican sea in the Empire State will
b. as placid as mirror and certain vic.
tory in the coming contest in that great
State will be made easy Of success. The
Premier has accepted the situation with re-
markable grace and evinces Christian
spirit in politics that is worthy Of all
emulation. Ills words are ftly and
opportunely spoken, and we trust will find
lodgment in the hearts Of every peculiar
admircr of the present national Admins
tration. If 50, there is no danger Of dissen
tions. schisms, disorders, or alterations ii
the Republican ranks Of New York, but tho
army of freedom will keep step to the
music and move on rs one man TO u tri
umph that waits on good faith and good
service.
The counsels Of Secretary EvARTs at thi'
peculiar crisis are in the interests of peace
and harmony in the Republican councils,
He expresses great confidence that we shal
carry the Legislature and gain several
members of Congress, and seems impressed
W ith the belief that the late conferences al
Saratoga will do great good. Mr.. EvART'
does not soem TO think 1t essential at THU
juncture that the party shall make public
