If that eminent English observer who Wis
tied America in the primitive forties could
then write so beautifully OF the grandeur of
New York as it appeared to him when the
packet on which he was q passenger emerged
into a noble bay, whose waters spsrkled
like natures eye turned up to Heaven"
what could he not say now of the glorious
metropolis Then there Law tretched out be-
fore him confused heaps Of buildings with
here and there only a spire or steeple look
ing down upon the frame and brick work
below; and here and there again cloud of
lazy smoke and in the foreground forest of
ships masts, CHEEKY with Tapping sails and
waving flags. Then there were ferry boats
laden with people, coaches, wagons. baskets
and boxes, crossing from shere to shore,
and never idle and stately among
these restless ''insects" were two or three
large ships moving with slow, ma este pace
as creatures of q prouder kind, disdainful of
their puny journeys, and making for the
broad sea.
How magnified now is this picture that
even then was lovely To the eye of the

Then looms into view that dismantled relic
of the late rebellion and its silent old yellow

sweeping around it from the North into the
East River, and from the East into the
North River, and with towers innumerable
and smoke impenetrable making its back
ground. Thinking upon the ear is the rattle
of cordsge, the clink of capstans and the
joyful singing OF whistles, while above all is
the roar and buzz of the traffic on the city's
streets that can be distiI city heard. Old

At night the scene is doubly enhanced by
the brilliancy of electric lights. From the
bay nearly every building is preceptible in q
steely light, and the waters of the rivers
dance with the myriad of reflections. One

THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.
A Highly Original and Hitherto Unpub
hshed Account of the Affair.
New York World

New York World.
That "history repeats itself" is well known.
An instance: Several days after the battle of
Waterloo, by which it is generally believed
q certain ambitious Corsicau was counted
out with great energy, the Paris Trombone,
an alleged daily newspaper, founded by
Jacques Blanc-loi Reid, announced on its
bulletins in an extra window as follows:
Notwithstanding various unofficial re-
ports that have reached the metropolis by
fraudulent channels that have escaped the
vigilant search of our reporters, we are able
authoritatiyely to announce the
complete triumph of our gallant stand.
ard bearer, the lion-hearted ]. Napoleon
Gillespie Blaine Bonaparte, in spite of the
tempest of calumny and eighteen-pound
cannon balls with which the mugwumps of
British capital have assailed him. Just
about shutdown on the eventual evening of
the day of the final struggle which closed
the arduous campaign, and before the
warmth engendered by the millionaire Del
monico dinner had ceased to animate his
system, our gallant leader at the head of his
Imperial Guard of Planned Knights made
his supreme charge against the Democratic
hordes of the British. Our returns are in
complete, there being yet 744 regiments to
hear from, and it may be some time before
the returns do actually return, for if
the regiments are under ground
they do not either turn or return
with great facility. But we can assure our
readers that at the last accounts everything
was coming our way. In fact, if we were to
indulge critical spirit, we should say that
our friends, the enemy, were coming our
way with somewhat too much numerosity
and previousness. We received them with
open arms; in fact our arms being mostly
busted open, were extremely widely opened.
Our gallant leader had made q great run.
He ran all night, and all rumors of ill
health and loss OF appetite are unfounded.
He made a prodigious breakfast of flet
d'horse, and refreshed his thirst with eau
natural, the fraudulent enemy having coz
sumed all other viands and drinks in the
various election districts. On a full count
we have no doubt of a majority, aud We
warn the enemy against boasting until they
can show more corpses to the acre than we
can proudly point to.
Everything encourages to hopefulness.
The end approaches. but We are not bound
to say which end. We say to our readers, in
view of our glorious success, Cover your
shorts, hedge your bets, repudlate as many
wagers as possible and buy and read no
journal except the Trombone We con-
fdently say we are not done for this time;
but If we are we can find ample consolation
in the fact that the Seigneur Robson, the
Baron d. Elkins, Sir de PIttsburg Jones and
other gallant knights have escaped with
only a few wounds in the back and may be
counted on for another campaign against
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion at some
future period" Translated from the origi-
nal French by JOHN BLACKRRIDGE.

MR.. BEEOHER SATISFIED.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher sat serenely
composed in the lecture room OF Plymouth

member OF his congregation who entered.
He noticed great many. There was an I'M
usually large gathering in the room, COM

whispered conversation before the prayer
meeting commenced. also rather unusual.
The words Republican" and Democratic"
were distinctly heard. There was perfect
silence, however, when the reverend gentle
man prepared to take his congregation into
his confidence, as he generally does.

An Honorable Candidate.

Governor Cleveland's course during the
exciting political campaign just ended was

Interview With Butler.
Especial to Chicago News.


WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Genersl Butler con-
descended to-day to make a few remarks
about the election. He had a very simple
explanation of Jay Gould's congratulations
to Cleveland TO offer. THE night before"
said the General, $50 600 men were marching
in the city of New York, and singing, Wen
hang Jay Gould to sour apple tree Gould
got heightened" But recalling his feats of
military proves at Big Bethel aud Fort
Fisher. General Butler said: at wouldn't
have scared me. Gould" he continued,
didn't want to be hung to a sour apple
tree, go he takes an early opportunity to
pscify his would-be executioners by congrat-
ulabng Governor Cleveland. He knew that
if the figures should change and elect Blaine
his congratulatory dispatch would not do
him any harm, while in any event 1t might
save him trouble. Now 1 don't know, bat
believe Gould was as much in favor OF
Cleveland as of Blaine. l do know that
Vanderbilt rode two horses. He sent Depew
cut to speak for Blaine and he gave CleVe-
land $150000.n
Then the General cast his mind backward
and recalled that Fremont antedated s. J.
Tilden in being elected President but
counted out. "In 1856" he said "PenusvI-
vsnia was the pivotal State, and Fremont
was elected, but a Democratic Returning
Board discovered that he didn't have as many
votes as were cast for him, and he was de-
feated." In regard to the vote he himself
polle1 last tuesday, he said: My vote was
larger than Iexpected. You see my vote was
not counted except in Michigan. 1t was not
cast for me. My vote was the protection
vote and the Irish vote and when it was 40
parent that there was danger of Cleveland's
election, these men determined to vote di-
rectly for Blaine. A vote for me was only
half q vote against Mr.. Cleveland. They
saw that and cast their votes for Blaine.
Hence, l say, nv vote, except in Michigan,
was not counted"
This is q very frank admission OF the
reason why the General posed before the
country for several weeks as a Presidential
candidate. But while he admits that he
was in the field to help Blaine, and in spite
of the fact that the National Republican
and other Blame organs have been thanking
the General for his valuable services, IL is
the belief of some very intelligent New
Workers that if Cleveland shall be shown to
have been elected it will be due to General
Butler candidacy. They say that the men
in New York City who voted for Batter were
so bitterly hostile to Cleveland that if Butler
bad not been running they would have
voted for Blaine. Butler saws plainly that
many of his followers were afraid that
voting for him would help Cleveland, aud
so gave their votes TO Blaine. 1t looks as
though General Butler had established
claims on both parties. He saved the cleo
tOral vote of Massachusetts to Blaine aud
the electoral vote OF New York to CleVe-
land.

The "MUGWUMP5" IN THE CAM
PAIGN.
Partsanship is commendsble only so long
as ii is not blind to gross evils in ones own
party men and measures. When the spirit
of adherence is so gIutinous that it sticks the
man to the party, whatever changes have
crept in effscting its disgrace, it becomes
nothing above sycophancy. To the consid-
cradle number Of our people hitherto IN the
ranks of the Republican party who were
too honest to support James G.. Blaine,
much is due for the triumph OF Democracy
In the late campaign. 1t were an easy way
to compliment these Independent Republi-
cans (the "Mugwumps," If the dependent
Republicans please by saying they did no
more than they should have done. But the
Independents deserve e loftier recognition
than this negative praise. While it was the
right thing, it was not an easy thing for
these men to do-io step out of the ranks of

which many had fought, and turn their

of turning their backs upon the Republican

served, including ths press, impugning their

that their independent step killed their in

IN the event OF aine's election they would
meet with g.bes and derision from their
