Summers First Meeting With
Greeley.

The following amusing account OF
Charles Summers first meeting with
Greeley, never before published, is Civ
en- in the current Number of Every 9th
er Saturday:
Charles Sumner, many years before
he was known in politics, sought the ac-
qu~aintapce Of Horace Greeley in New
York. He found the journalist much
engaged, and was invited by him to
come to his house the next morning and
take breakfast. Mr.. Sumner was not
an early riser, and he liked a good
breakfast when he did get up. He
rather anticipated one in this case. At
the early hour named by Mr., Greeley,
he left the Astor House, took a stage
and rode several miles I'D Broadway,
and after much difficulty found the resi-
dence of his new friend at an old-fash-
Toned farmhouse, situated in the middle
of an orchard between Broadway and
the river, where he wac hospit-
ably received by the occu-
pant. After considerable con-
y~gersation with Mr.. Greeley, the latter re
marked to his wife, who had come into
the room, that Mr.. Sumner would prob
ably like something to eat, She ex-
pressed o doubt whether there was any
hing in the house, at which Sumner,
who was really hungry after his long
ride, was somewhat-well, surprised, to
say the least. why, mother" said
Greeley to his wife, lyon must have
some milk, some bread and milk in the
house." She thought that it might be
SO, and soon appee,ed with a mug, two
bowls and some crackers, which she
placed on a bare pine table, and the two
incipient philanthropists ate their break
fast In peace. Anybody who knew
Sumner and his dainty ways in those
things can appreciate the situation. No
doubt it was the first and last time
he aver did justice to bread and milk.
The friend TO whom Sumner
related this incident had q
feeling, which tima4rather strengthen
ed, that the older philosopher was
practising a grim joke on the gay and
festive young man from Bos-
tony Sumner, however, never could
appreciate a joke. and considered the
transaction a real one so far as good
faith was concerned, although he re-
lated it with considerable glee. Per-
haps he had in his heart something of

friend in Boston, ~ often wish | knew

Let us drink to the year that is dying fast
Though his days were weary and long;
Let us sing for the year that has come al

Let us speed with a song the sad old year,
With the trouble he brought in his train;

We had hoped: Let u hope againl
The snow that glistens on briar and thorn
Like a sheet Ger the landscape lies,
Like swaddling clothes for the year that is

Or a shroud for the year that dies;
And the night winds wall through the leaf

And the blazing y~ule-logs' roar
Sounds the funeral anthem of Eighty three,
And q prelude for Eighty-four.

And the old gives place to the new,

AS dreams of the past are true,

And a dirge for the year that is gone at

to the craft the word thirty" is perhaps
most often used and possessed of the
most meaning. Thirty il the end. 1t

MECHANICS BecomIng the Masters.

Boston Commercial Bulletin

inent the fact that we have come upon
the time when the mechanic is master.
We have crowded PROFESSIONS and ill-fl-

Of sub-assistant clerk in a wholesale

red applicants, though the wages re-
ceived be scarcely more than q chance

workman try to obtain in apprentice at
three times the salary offered the clerk
and his applicants will be poor alike in
quantity and quality. A skilled work
man in any trade need never want for

dreds of employers; he is independent
of the condition or the market; the skill
and cunning or his hand and eye are too
valuable to lose, and must be paid
whether the products are slowly or rap.

master-hand is eagerly seized by some
rival honse, which knows and values the

down the obstacles to success in our days
must have, as we'll as the wit to see the
crevice, the strength to deal the blow.
This is an age of the steam engine. and
it is the engineer, not the conductor,
who is master.

Seeing After Ten Years.

New York Times.
The Rev. Backus. Of Onion College,
has had his sight restored after ten
years blindness by cataract. The
Schenectady Union says: "Dr. Backns'
Joy on returning to his family, able to
see. their faces for the first time in ten
wears, can not be described. Many
whose voices were perfectly famig to.
him we're in their faces entire strangers.
He had never seen his grandchildren.
Some friends had changed and grown
old in ten years, and bat for their
familiar voices would scarcely have been
recognized. In the city the changes
have been as great. The Young Mems
Christian Association, Of which DR..
Backus had been an influential member
for many years, had built q large aud
handsome structure on State street.
and he had passed it every day for
years, but never sew it until last week.
So throughout the city the doctor is
almost a stranger, and each day finds
some Improvement over ten years ago.
In answer to the question as to how his
spirits were affected at the thought OF
being blind, DIR. Backus said that when
in perfect health the appalling sense Of
his loss rarely occurred 10 him."

The nomination election Tor Sheriff Ii
over, and according to the return of the
votes Frank G. Stidham, after hare
fought contest, got the nomination by q
small majority it is true, but large
en- ugh for nrac'ical purposes. Nobody
will der y, we ppose, that some per
sons voted at Cne nomination election
who, u ,on a strict construction of the
r lies of the party, had no right to
vote, but if they were sifted out II
will be found that there was no concen'
tration of that vote upon any particular
candidate.
The large vote apparently in many
of the districts was the result of local
causes, which did not extend beyond
those districts. For instance, the large
vote in Christiana Hundred and the
West district of the Seventh Ward can
be accounted for by the fact that Mr..
Vincent is a resident of that Hundred,
md was a former resident of the Sew
enth Ward. Mr. Hermann's residence
in New Castle accounts for his popular.
ity and the large vote cast in that Hun
dred.
In Appoauinimink both the leading
candidates for Sheriff, Mr.. Stdham and
Mr.. Hukill, were at one time residents
If that Hundred, and this accounts foI
the large vote there, and each of the
candidates seems to have shared an
equal share of the confidence of theil
former friends and neighbors. The lest
plan now evidently is to look upon the
nomination as made, and for every Re,
publican to turn in and 10 all in his
power to elect the whole Republican

The armers' PrOtectiOn.

We are told by Western free trade
journals. in possibly honest endeavor
to throw light upon the question of
free trade, that the Western farmer has
to send his products four thousand
miles to Liverpool for IA market, and
complain that in the return trade the
goods that he wants in exchange for his
wheat are taxed fifty per cent. Of their
value by the United States Govern
ment. They say this is free trade in
wheat, but il is not free trade in manu-
facturers and the Western farmer sut-
fers by the distinction. He is required,
they say, TO pay a bounty OF fifty per
cent. upon his goods, which goes into
the pockets ofAmericau manufacturers.
1t is very evident that these journals
have not studied the case with "a sin
cere purpose of ascertaining the exact
truth. If this were the case, how quick
ly the intelligent farmer and the more
or less wide awake journalist would
form partnership to manufacture
these goods in order that thi, j0p"r cent
profit might 60 into their pocke,>. But
i the statement of these WeSteru Jour
mails a fact? Is it not rather 70 fact that
the farmer does not pay any bounty
this he knows full well, whether these
journals know it or not. In the first
place, but for the commercial system
built mp by protection, the farmer could
not send MS products four thousand
miles to market, nor four hundred miles
nor forty miles. His wheat would be
Carted to the nearest water. power grist
mill and be ground by the halves, net
ting him about thirty-tivc cents Il BUSH
el. But for this protection he would
be paying twenty cents II yard for Brit
ish cotton fabrics, instead # oiN or
eight cents for better goods made at
home Hin clumsy imported plOw
would cost him $50, when he now pays
81 for light, elastic, American clipper
implement. In the event Of his want
ing to take interest in railroad, which
is not very likely affair, he would pay
over hundred dollars a ton for iron
rails, whereas he can now lay down
American steel rails AZ a cost of S3J per
ton. This old story Of the poor Ameri-
Can farmer paying fifty per cent. trib-
ute to the American manufacturer has
been worn so thin by hard usage that
it will no longer hold together. 1t is
the protected manufacturer who has
cut down the cost Of goods fifty per
cent, and IN many cases more than
that.
