HORACE GREELEY'S SHOES.

About the year 1870, when Arthur
Barret was president of the Fair Asso-
citation, Mr.. Greeley accepted an invita-
ton to deliver the annual address in the
amphtheatre at the Fair Grounds. Col
enel Todd was chairman of the reception
committee, and after the close Of the adj
dress escorted the speaker to his room at
the Southern Hotel, where he badc HIM
good-by, as Mr.. Greeley was to leave The
city early ON the following morning. Be
fore leaving him, however, Colonel Todd
said:
"Well Mr.. Greeley, trust that dur
ing your stay here everything has been
done for your comfort and that every
thing has been satisfactory to you.
"Yes," replied Mr.. Greeley slowly and
with considerable hestancy, "everything
has been as pleasant as | could have de-
sired, except'-here the old gentleman
looked sadly down at his feet, and
after brief pause resumed, except
that some one stole my shoes last night.
"Stole your shoes" echoed Colonel
Todd in astonishment. also surveying Mr..
Greeley's feet
"Yes," replied Mr.. Greeley with
sigh and moving his feet uncomiortably.
"Yes, I left them outside my door last
night and some one walked off with them.
But a new pair was left i'll place of the
Ill ! l,nt trA,, ,nn
The old ones were easy and comfortable,
but the new ones hurt my feet
Zone might be pardoned." said Co.
onel Todd, "for wanting to step into
your shoes. Perhaps some one wanted
them as souvenirs"
This was intended for a compliment,
| but Mr.. Greeley was too much interested
| in his feet to notice it. He only said
Perhaps so, but | would very much
| prefer my old ones to these, and wish
they had taken something else as SOU
venir."
The next morning the old gentleman
limped down stairs and took carriage
for the depot, carrying away with him
probably, a very unfavorable impression
of the souvenir hunters of st. Louis.
Several weeks elapsed before the mys-
| terry of the stolen shoes was solved. It.
| was then ascertained that colored man
| named Wilkinson. who was one of the
BARRIERS at the Southern, had really taken
Mr.. Greeley's shoes as mementos of the
man who had worked so actively and
earnestly for the freedom of the negroes
In speaking of the matter to Col. Todd,
Wilkinson said that he was walking
along the hall near Mr.. Greeley's room.
seeing the shoes standing outside the
door, the idea struck him they would be
just the things to give to the children to
| remind them of him who had done So
much for the colored man. He there
fore took them. hurried ont of the hotel.
and went to shoe store, where he pur-
chased pair of much better shoes OF the
same size as the old ones, and returning
to the hotel. put the former where the
latter had stood. He thought a fair ex-
| change was no robbery. and felt that he
was giving much more in actual value
than he was receiving. Wilkinson j.
dead, but the shoes are probably now in
st. Louis. 1t is understood that several
relic hunters are looking for them.

The agency for this great establish
ment in Philadelphia is at Nos 242 and
2i4 North Broad street. 1t is under the
efficient Superintendence of Mr.. David
Herbert. In l>62 two hundred machines
were sold at this agency: last year the
sales amounted to four thousand; and
this year, from the extent of orders al
ready received, it is expected that the
number will be materially increased.
Every thing connected with the manu-
facture of the machines from the small
est pin up to The complete implement, is
made at the Auburn factory. At the
North Broad street agency duplicates of
every part of the machines can always
be procured from 1859 up to the present
year. There are now on storage there
over 1000 binding harvesters, now
ers and combined machines. In order to
in binding with the self-binder. he Broad
street house has now on hand 1,J, 900
pounds OF wire, and nearly the same
weight Of twino, with hundreds of tons
of castings.
Those interested in harvesting machin,
cry should visit this immense concern. as
it is full of instruction, not only to the
farmer. but to all who are lovers and ad
mirers of ingenious and useful mechan-
ism. y self-binding machine, driven by
steam, can be seen at work at any time.
Mr.. Herbert and his polite assistants tax
ing great pleasure in showing and explain

Mollie had a little ram as black as a

went he emigrated too.
He went with her to church one day
the folks hilarious grew to see him walk
demurely into Deacon Aliens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his an
CRY passions rise, and gave it an unchris-

This landed rammy in the aisle; the
deacon followed fast, and raised his foot

could retreat, it stood him Oh his heap.
The congregation then arose and went

Then rushed they straightway for the
door With earses long and loud, while
rammy struck the hindmost man and
shot him through the crowd.

And SO he kindly, gently, called:

With kind and gentle words he came
from that tall pulpit down, saying
- Rammy, rammy, ram-best sleepy in

The ram quite dropped its humble air,
aud rose from off its feet. and when the

The Palm Tree.

There are districts of Tinnevelly, in
Southern India. where the soil is so dry
and sandy that it is surprising anything
will grow. Yet where this powdery red
sand prevails for miles we have walked
through plantations of the stately Pal
myra palm, the great stems rising to an
immense height. and the trees in the
most vigorous health. Here. as elsewhere,
the sap flows most freely at the hottest
time of the year, and when the soil is
without vegetation and almost without
substance. when the only shade is that
cast by these branchess trees from their
narrow crowns of leaves. when the only
clouds are clouds of dust, when the
streams are dry and the wells exhausted.
and the largest rivers are only bed of
glowing sand, there is the singular spec
tacle of these stately trees flowing con
tinually with their fountains of sweet
water. How is it possible? We often
asked. Bishop Caldwell, whose house
lies close to such desert. tried to answer
that question for himself He dug into
