President Hayes attended the Annual
New England Dinner in Brooklyn on Tues
day. He made Il speech and adverted to
the New England ideas and principles, and
thought they had much to do with the pros
perity which We now enjoy and about which
we are boastful." He said the subject is
too large for me to discuss this evening, but
we have friends here who will do the subject
Justice The inimitable humor of the
President came in when he mentioned Cen
Grant as present, to whom he would leave
the discussion Gen. Grant having been
toasted, made some remarks in defence of
carpet baggers Having now no visible
means of support and junketing from one
state to another, we are not surprised to find
him doing his level best to put the best pos
sible plea forward in behalf of the vagrant
or to commend mendicancy.

Some of the strect-car drivers in Wash
ington have come TO the conclusion that
horses can count. They say that on one of
the routes nineteen trips are made day;
and if occasion requires the twentieth trip
the horses refuse To come out of the stable.
For the nineteen they do SO with alacriN.
Hence they believe the horses can count, As
high as twenty, anyhow.
We believe the hens know when Christ
mas comes They viii not only not lay eggs
for less than a quarter per dozen, but refuse
70 lay more than half the usual number SO
as to advance the price 10 forty and fifty
