st. Paul Dispatch.
The chief point of interest in the COM
ing presidential contest is the empire
state. This is the principal battlefield.
Yesterday, during an interview with
prominent German democrat, a resident
of New York city, the following informa
ton of the political situation of New
York was elected.
In answer to question concerning
Tilden he said:
"ilden's conduct in the democratic
convention at Syracuse is very much
condemned. He was afraid if the Tam
many delegation was present he would
lose the New York vote, and consequent
~ the nomination.; so he secured an ad-
Journment of the convention until the
day of the election of the officers of
Tammany Lodge, SO they had no repre-
sentation.. Now Kelly's plan is to send
their delegates to Cincinnati and, if they
are not admitted to the convention, to
make nomination of their own. In
the event of Tilden's nomination they
will bolt any way. Tilden is not popu-
lar in New York"
"Who seems to be the favorite candi-
date?"
"Well, can't say. Bayard of Della
ware has considerable strength. Thur
man is not very popular. He would re.
ceive less votes than any other man the
democrats can name. Seymour, if he
would accept, would sweep everything
before him. Voorhees,, Hancock, and in
deed all the prominent democrats have
their admirers. But if Tilden is nomi-
mated there will be split and the demo-
Gratis may as well give up at once"
"ls the republican party united hear
there will be many scratchers if Grant is
nominated"
'"rhat is all talk. Grant has enemies,
but he is as popular and more so, than
any other republican. OF course there
are many working against him, but there
is no split in the party. The delegates
will probably vote by their instructions,
and if Grant is nominated, the republi-
cans will vote for him. The Conkling
party predominates and it is working
hard for the hero of the civil war; Who
ever is the choice of the convention will
receive the solid vote of the republi-
cans"
II understand the German republicans
will bolt Grant"
"They won't. The republican party
as said, is united and entirely harmoni.
ous at present, and everything indicates
a continuance of their "peace policy"
We present the above rs the views
of an intelligent and observant gentle
man, and will not add to or detract from
their value by any comments of oul
own.

1t seems a little strange that amid all
the fervor of the pottery craze, which
is now so universal, none of the luna
tics-if we may use that word in a per-
fectly inoffensive sense-have taken any
steps toward acknowledging to whom
our motherland England, and hence in
directly America, is indebted primarily
for that form of artistic perception
which makes pottery in various shapes
so important a feature of contemporary
decoration. There can be no dispute
as to the person to whom this tribute
should be paid, for we read as follows
in Macaulay: "Mary (William's wife,
of course) had acquired at the Hague a
taste for the porcelain of China, and
amused herself by forming at Hampton
q vast collection of hideOus images and
of vases on which houses, trees, bridges
and mandarins were depicted in out
rageous defiance of all laws of perspec-
tive. The fashion, frivolous and in
elegant fashion, it must be owned
which was thus set by the Queen spread
fast and wide. In few years almost
every house in the kingdom contained a
museum of these grotesque baubles.
Even statesmen and Generals were not
ashamed to be renowned as Judges of
teapots and dragons; and satirists long
continued to repeat that a fine lady
valued her notified green pottery quite
as much as she valued her monkey, and
much more than she valued her hus-
band.h
This extract is very interesting for
two reasons. In the first place it ex-
plains that the pottery craze is con-
tagion imported by the Dutch. In the
second place it shows that, prevalent as
was the infection in eourtly circles in
England near the close of the seven
teenth century, it had so completely
died out there by the year 1849 that
Macaulay-who as the frequent guest
at the Queens palace and at Holland
House would have seen any existing
manifestations of it-did not hesitate to
designate as frivolous and inelegant'
the love for old pottery which was man
ifested by Queen whom he admired
so much as he did Mary.
This leads to the manifest question,
How long in the future will it be before
the work of collecting old pottery viii
again be considered frivolous and in
elegant?" As we have not reached the
time when monkeys share the adora-
ton of the blue cracked cup perhaps
the decline of the craze is not inmi-
nent.-M Y. Post.

THE RAGING WIND.

The zephyr Is q gentle thing,
The soft breeze is q beauty,
And wind Is very useful while
Performing OF its duty.
The air that softly stirs the leaves
Is very sweet and pOoty,t
And winds quite respectable
While in the line Of duty.
But when It gets into a rage,
And rips and rOars and oiatters,
Blows Chimueys down, and houses, too,
And strongest buildings skaters;
Tears up your trees and hurls your roof
Into your neighbOr's garden,
And blows your wife into the street,
And never asks your pardon;
DemOlishes your northwest wall,
Dlsmantles your new stable,
And twists the front side of your house
Around TO meet the gable
'Tls then you wish the gentle breeze,
SO softly sweet and pOOty,t
Would not forget its proper place
Nor leave its line Of duty
such as turning wind-mills, drying clothes
prOpelling ships, raising kites and Othe
matters which contribute TO the comfort ant
happiness of mankind.

ADclicatc Question.

Detroit Free Press: A farmer living
about forty miles above Detroit felt that it
was his duty to drop the Limekiln club a
line to the effect that he had lately discov-
cred human tracks nineteen inches long in
clay bank on his farm. Some of his
neighbors argued that they were relics of
the mastodon period, and others that some
circus giant had made his escape and was
wandering through the country. His own
private theory was that some member of
the Limekiln club had passed that way on
hunting expedition, and he wanted his
suspicious verified or rut to flight.
"Misser Chairman, Ircgard that commu-
nication as an insult to dis club !" said the
Rev. Penstock as soon as he could reach
his feet. c
Il support de INSULT" added Giveadam
Jones. "Gem'lcn," said brother Gardner
as he came forward so that his feet could
be plainly seen from all parts of the hall,
''its no use concealin' the fack dat humble,

up dar. We can't make our feet any
smaller by votin' dat letter an insult Dc
seckretary will slowly call the roll, an if
any member of dis club has been up dar
let him riZ up as his cognomen am reached.
A call of the roll proved that none of the
club had been out of the city for months
Perhaps "Bijah, of Central Station fame,
may be able to clear up the mystery.
