And now the festive dry goods clerk OF
Gotham has taken to dynamite to pay of
his little private grudges. If after the
fourth of March some discharged govern
ment clerk should become sufficiently
cranky or vindictive to put some dynamite
in one or the other of the Governments
buildings, perhaps congress may at last
wake up to the realization of the fact that
it ought to do something besides passing
resolutions to stop these outrages. -Inde1-

THE POSTMASTER.

The Postmaster sat there
In his big Office chair
A few evenings after election;
His brow once so fair
Was now wrinkIed with care
And his thoughts took o somber direction.
His hat on awry
And look in his eye
Showed that with trouble his brain was a-toiI-
ing,
And twas easy to guess
There was somthing amiss
In the political pot which was boiling.
He was reading the news,
And 1t gave him the b,ues,
To see how the returns were returning;
First Cleveland then Blaine
Then Cleveland again,
TILL the truth twas very hard discerning.
Then he laid down the sheet
And hauled down his feet
From the table where they had been resting,
Saying, "Boys, am sick
The news comes in too thick
To make it all Interesting
"Once shouted for Grant
Till tore a hole in my pants.
Then went in for Garfield and Arthur;
And now I've been on the march
And carried a torch
Till don't want to march any farther"
SHOULD the Democrats beat
I'll be busted complete;
Then farewell to fat office and salary;
I'll be left in the lurch
And fired out of the church,
And have to take a back seat in the gallery
"'Tis exceedingly strange
How politics change.
We've fallen on days that are evil;
They've counted Blaine out out
And I'm gone up the spout,
And the post-office is gone TO the devilp'

TOUCHING INCIDENTS OF THE ARRIVAL OF
THE REVOLUTIONARY RELIC AT NEW
ORLEANS.

Trade Troubles.

There seems to be great dissatisfaction
with the existing state of affairs among
the working men of many trades in New
York, and the labor Unions are boycotting
to an extent unknown in the past. The
demand generally made is for more pay
and less work, or a continuance Of the
present wages and a reduction of time
For years past, under Republican rule, the
labOring men have had promises made,
which were never kept, and in the North
have resorted to harsh means to accomplish
desired ends. This is unfortunate, for when
'the tug of war; comes between labor
and capital, labor suffers though the CAPT.
talist may be severely damaged. To-day
there are starving women and children in
the coaling regions of the North. whose
fathers and husbands have been ground
down to starvation rates, and are now
making an effort to right their wrongs,
and while their families are starving cor
porations are saying money, and their
stockholders are living in luxury. We be-
lieve that after the Inauguration of Presi-
dent-elect Cleveland, trade, in all its
branches, will have an upward tendency;
that many of the expressions now suffered
will be removed, and that in few months
good feeling will exist throughout the now
QlSSaGlSH9Q SectlOnS. Nr. Cleveland as
Governor did much for the workingmen Of
New York. A Democratic administra-
ton will do much for this class in all sec
lions of the Union. Wages can get but
little lower, and revision and reform of
the tariff and the abolition of the internal
revenue, which will be effected sooner Or
later, will be of untold benefit. The South
is very hopeful for the future; having pass
ed through the trying year of 1884 with no
strikers or riots, she naturally looks for
peace and prosperity under the new order
of things, and we expect to see this favor
ed land make rapid strides in 1885,

A New Orleans La., special of the 2Sth
says; When the train bearing the Liberty
bell drew up at Beauvoir, at about l
large crowd assembled at the station was
Varina Davis Hayes, a little grandchild
of Jefferson Davis. AS soon as the train
stopped a gentleman caught the child in
his arms and lifted her to the bell, which
she warmly clasped with her tiny arms and
reverently kissed, exclaiming: "God bless
the dear old bellH'
The incident was greeted with cheers,
which had not entirely subsidized when Mr..
Davis himself drove up with an escort OF
gentlemen who had been sent for him.
Upon his arrival, Frank Bacon, United
States commissioner of Kansas and presi-
dent of the committee, greeting him, said
'Mr. Davis: In behalf of the Associa-
ton of the United States Com missioners,
representing the different States and Terri
tories of our common country, joined by
common industries and representatives of
the various military organizations through
out the Union, we extend to you cordial
invitation to join us in escorting to New
Orleans and to the Exposition grounds the
the old Liberty bell, so generously loaned
us by the City of Brotherly Love.
GAS the bell in its vigor proclaimed lib
erty throughout the land, and it's sentiment
was peace on earth and goodwill to men,
and as history ever repeats itself, we be-
lieve its visit to the South will be the
effectual means of burying all sectional
gagements will allow you to accompany us
on this excursion to the Exposition grounds
to aid us in the reception of the bell"
MR.. DAvIs's RESPONSE.
Mr.. Davis responded as follows:
81 feel deeply complimented by this re-
ception and the expressions that accom-
pany it. was sick III bed when this no
tice reached me, and l Immediately arose
when heard that that glorious old bell
was at the station. l thank you and your
associates, and trust that your anticipa-
tions of the harmonizing tendencies OF
this journey of the old bell across the
States of the Union, some of which had
not sprung into existence when its tones
first filed the air, may in every respect be
fully realized. think the time has come
when reason should be substituted for pas
sion, and when men who have fought in
support of their honest convictions should
do justice to each other. You, sacred or
gan that gave voice to the grandest decla-
rations that a handful of men ever made,
when they faced the greatest military pow
er on the globe, when handful of men
declared to all the world their inalienable
rights, and staked life, liberty, and pros
perity in defence Of that Decentralization
it was with your clear tones you sent notice
to all who are willing to live or die for lib
erty, and felt that the day was at hand
when every patriot must do patriots
duty. Glorious old bell! The son of a
revolutionary soldier bows in reverence to
you, worn by time but increasing in sacred
memories. Mr.. President accept my
thanks, which are henrtfelt and sincerely
given.'

Washington Special to New York Herald.
Ex-senator Ferry, when he was acting Vice
president was notorious as the most persistent
Office begger in Washington. It used to be said
in those days that the President and Cabinet
officers gave Mr.. Ferry places as people give
bones to dog-to get rid of him.
Vice-president Hendricks is good man, but
if he does not stop pretty soon he will get people
into the habit of likening him to Mr. Ferry.
Mr.. Hendricks has great many friends and
evidently benevolent heart. Sydney Smith
guinea of A. to give it to b." Mr.. Hendricks
benevolence takes the shape of asking offices for
his dependent friends, and the energy of his
efforts in this direction is so great that it has at
tracted general remark and sometimes kind of
comment which would scarcely be agreeable to
him if it came to his ears.
A Vice-p president has but little to do. He is a
fifth wheel to the coach of state There is gen.
eral opinion that the American state coach has
never had so active and troublesome a fifth
wheel, unless indeed, Mr.. Acting Vice president
Ferry should rank in this regard with Mr.. Hen
bricks. 1t is probably embarrassing for Presi-
dent or Cabinet officer to refuse Vice presi
dents opportunities; but that ought to be a reas-
on why Vice-presdent should be very moder
ate in the exercise of them. 1t would be credit
to Vice president Hendricks if he were seen
much less frequently at the White House and in
the departments as a beggar for Offices for his
friends

New YORK. April 22-Dr. Douglas slept at
the Grant mansion last night, and this morning
said that there was no i'll effect from the Gen
erals exercise yesterday, unless it was in the
added fatigue that prevented profound sleep dur
ing the early part of the night The Generals
pains are abated to-day, but the trouble at the
base of the tongue is at all times the seat of
greater or less pain to the patient DR.. Douglas
in referring to the Brazilian cancer cure that is
reported to have been sent to the family, said
that the Generals physicians had had the prepa-
ration nearly two months, but that it had never
been used, because there was no data at hand
of it's efficacy, and General Grant was not pa
tent to experiment upon. The name of the Brazil
ian preparation is alveoz, and it is the juice of
southern plant. In conclusion. Dr.. Douglas re-
marked that the General was, on the whole, ina
proved to-day, though he was yet very sick
man.
At noon General Grant and wife went to drive
in an open carriage. The salutes of the by
ISLANDERS were returned by the General with a
smile and the true military salute.
Doctors Barker, Shrady and Douglas met in
consultation at o'clock to-day. The Generals
throat was examined by the aid of the electric
light, and was found better than when last seen
by Doctors Barker and Shrady, on Sunday last
AS Dr.. Douglas was leaving he said, in response
to inquiry, that the General experienced some
pain during the examination of the throat but
otherwise he had suffered no more pain to-day
than yesterday. The throat was much improved,
except at the main point The patient was
stronger, and could eat more and with a greater
desire for food General Grant. said DR..
Douglas, was better at present that when he
took his last drive before the warning symptoms
were developed, three weeks ago last Sunday
DR.. Douglas was Of the opinion that General
Grant would not go out to walk this afternoon,
but the Doctor had not been gone twenty min
utes when the General and Colonel Grant
left the house and walked to Madison avenue.
At the corner the General stood few moments
and gazed down the avenue and then slowly re-
traced his steps to the house.
At $50 P. M. DR.. Douglas returned to stay all
night. He refused to make any statement of
the Generals condition, and said he would issue
no more bulletins, whether the other physicians
would do so or not in the future
