The Old Songs.
From Tinsley's Magazine. !


In the old songs there was invariably
Il display of workmanship of respecta-
bile kind, and occasionally the skill OF the
writer rose above the respectable level,
while i'll literary sense the new songs
are for the most part contemplate. Ii
the texture of those now silent ditties are
occasionally coarse, it was entirely free
from an unwholesome flavor. The fun
in them was the rough fun of the back
slapping, rib-punching farces of the pc
riod. Robust, and not seldom clumsy
humor, but-unquestionably humor.
"John JONES'" "The Burial Club, F"
"The Cork Leg" "Ncver Buy Triple
on Friday" aud many other unctious
tol-de rol ditties whose titles clio not
readily recur-they are in the memory
locked, but the key for the moment mis-
laid-served as lyrical safety valve for
the boisterous animal spirits of the time,
the like of which we are unhappily not
provided with III the year 1880.

COnkling Speaks.

Senator Conkling addressed an i'm.
mense audience Mt Cleveland, o., on
the evening of the Goth. Near the end OF
his speech he happened to mention the
name of General Garfield, and the APP
plause was tremendous. As the Demo-
cratic newspapers had made many sar-
castle illusions to the fact that Mt War.
rem the great senator did not once utter
his candidates name, the glee of the
Republicans over the mention last even
ing was overpowering.
Among many good things Mr.. Conkling
said:
"Let me see: The south produces
cotton and corn, and some things that
corn turns into. Corn is n chameleon
product. 1t changes it's color; it per.
forms the miracle of liquifaction; ii
turns into that mild, beneficent bev'
erage 30 dear and sacred to the Demo
cratic heart, 80 very grateful to the
Democratic stomach, and so nourishine
and inspiring to Democratic principles. y

How it would interest You to watch u
days work, and see the droll ways and
clumsy tools! Men carrying mortar in
little squares of coarse cloth, with strings
for handles, and painting or vanishing
with wad of raw silk in lien of brush.
Masons and carpenters come early, be-
fore 6 o'clock, and make such stir over
the arrangement of their materials, and
such clatter with their tools, that one
fancies they are preparing for very ener-
getic work; but in less than an hour all
is quiet again, and all are gone to their
morning meal. After time--a long
time it seems, if one is impatient-they
come back; but in the middle of the
forenoon the head man calls "Drink
teal" Work is abandoned, and they
solacc themselves with some very weak,
poor tea and a smoke of tobacco. At
noon comes second meal, followed
these hot days by long nap. In every
shady corner of the court, under the
trees, or in the new house, industrious
mechanics are curled up fast asleep, and
it il nearly 3 o'clock before work is taken
up again in earnest. At 5 o'clock, tea,
then work until sunset, when they gather
about the great wooden tub of boiled
rice, and each man with his bowl, chop
sticks, and few strips of sailed vegc-
table, make their supper, the bill OF fare
being nearly the same that it was fol
breakfast and dinner.
