Punch Bowls.

A large punch-bowl is to be found in
almost every house in Washington, and
punch-making has become a fine art.
One of the most famous punch-makers
was the late Charles Astor Bristed.
His punches were neither too strong
nor too weak. In other words, one
glass would not make you drunk, neith-
er were YOU obliged to drink several
gallons in order to reach n point of eX-
hilaration. This point of exhilaration
is the place to stop drinking. Daniel
Webster punch is complicated drink
that calls for whisky, rum, champagne,
arrack. maraschino, green tea, lemons,
sugar, and very little water. A party
of distinguished Scotch gentlemen, who
were in the city not long ago, during
their stay were invited to visit the pri-
vate residence of prominent gentle
man. During the evening light col
latioN was served in the dining-room,
and huge punch-bowl was set out.
The head Of the party, Scotchman,
who at home occupies the position of
provost in his native town, stepped up
and tasted the punch, and, turning to
an acquaintance, said: ''That seems
very light; think it would take man
long time to get drunk on that
This cool liquor glided very gently
down the provost's throat, and a Sec
ond glass followed. Pausing before be-
ginning third glass, he engaged in
conversation for moment, then he
shook his head and said: II don't see
what is the matter with me-" His eyes
became half shut, and as he stepped
forward he nearly lost his balance.
Turning in the most surprised fashion,
he looked at the punch-bowl, and said:
"Do you know, think that drink is
very inseedious. What is it made OFF"
His friend replied: ''Whisky, rum,
claret, champagne, sugar and lemon,
and little water" The Scotchman
understood at once what was the mat

out any damage. For some time the
theory has been entertained that the
incendiary fires that have been started
lately and proved so destructive have
been the work of young boys whose
brains have been filed with Jesse
James stories. The arrest of Mack is
thought to solve the mystery. He has

HORACE GREELEYs LAST WORDS.
The Bitter Utterance of Defeated Candi-
date for the Presidency.

The Bitter Utterance of a Defeated Candi-
date for the Presidency.
New York Tribune. Nov 7, 1872
There has been no time until now within the
last twelve years, when the Tribune not
supposed to keep, for the benefit of the idle and
incapable, a sort of federal employment agency,
established to get places under the government
for those who were indisposed to work for their
living.
Any man who had ever voted the Republican
ticket believed it was the duty and the privilege
of the editor of this paper to get him place IN
the custom-house. Every red-nosed politician
who had cheated at the caucus and fought at the
polls looked to the editor of the Tribune to Sc
euro his appointment as gauger, OF as army
chaplain or as minister to France. Every cam
paign orator came upon us, after the battle was
over, for recommendation as Secretary of the
Treasury or the loan of half dollar
If one of our party had an interest pending at
Washington the editor of the Tribune was tele
graphed in frantic haste to come to the capital,
save this bill crush that one, promote one object
or stop another. He was to be everybody's
friend, with nothing TO do but take care of other
folks's business, sign papers write letters, and
ask favors for them, and get no thanks for
either Four-ffths of these people were sent
away without what they wanted, only to become
straightway abusive enemies 1t was the worry
of life to try to crafty one demand in dozen
for the other fifth.
The man with two wooden legs congratulated
himself that he could never be troubled with
cold feet 1t is a source of proud satisfaction to
us that office seekers will keep aloof from q
defeated candidate who has not influence enough
in Washington or Albany to get a sweeper APP
pointed under the sergeant-at-arms, or a deputy
subassistant clerk in the pastepot section of the
folding-room.
/ At last we shall be let alone to mind our own
affairs, and manage our own newspaper, without
being called aside every half hour to help lazy
people whom we don't know, and to spend our
strength to benefit people who don't deserve as
sistance
At last we shall keep our Office clear of blath-
erskites and political beggars, and go about our
daily work with the satisfaction of knowing that
not the most credulous of place hunters will sus
pect us Of having any credit with the appointing
powers.
That is one of the results of Tuesdays election
for which we are ourselves profoundly grateful

AN EXCITING FISH-HUNT.
Over Twelve Hundred Blacklist Captured Off
the Massachusetts Coast.

Boston Special.
A dispatch to the Journal from Provincetown
says that on Saturday afternoon about o'clock,
a large shoal of blackfsh was sighted off Wood
end light, Provincetown. The signal was given
from Cooks oil-works, Long Point, and in a few
minutes a number of vessels and whale-boats
were manned by able seamen. The sea was
turbulent as far as the eye could reach, and
after the capture of few by the harpooners the
chase began in earnest. No sooner was blood
drawn than the fish all rushed in the direc-
ton of the wounded. A dozen, more or
less had been taken by shutdown. 1t was
honed at first to drive them into Province
town Bay out this attempt was futile. On
they sped, pursued and pursuers, the fleet
increasing from all along shore, while the shoal
diminished. Twenty miles was soon covered,
and they were off Brewster where they were
met by low tide In place of being driven
ashore, which was the object Of the pursuers,
the fish made turn right about face along the
beach. About sixty were here killed, and then
they headed for Well Fleet Bay, and went in on
a flood tide. This had covered about thirty six
hours, and Monday morning there was Won
derful SIGHT. The bay literally full of fish,
further than the eye could reach. Vessels and
boats of all sizes, kinds and descriptions, men
and boys representing every trade and profess
sion, and every available thing that could be
used for killing, there. Men of eX-
perience used harpoons and lances. Others
used scythes, knives, picks, daggars, and axes.
The shore was lined with carriages, carts, men,
women and children. The whole town was in
a furry of excitement All business ceased
except the one business, which was to capture
blackfsh. The work continued until this after
noon, when it is supposed every fish was cap
tured. Every town from Dennis to Province
town was represented in the slaughter. The
number is variously estimated at from !, 200 to
1,500, to be divided into 500 shares. The value
will probably amount to from $40, 600 to $15, 000
The fish are to be sold at public auction to-mor-
row. There are no serious incidents. Free use
was made of the railroad, which brought many
from miles away to witness the exciting ARRAY
