From the N. Y. Erenlng Poet. J
TYNQ-A-LINO-TINO.
"0 ! say, brother Btubbs, hare you heard how thoy
una
Of this horrid Low churchman who's coming from
xork"
And who tows that, luxt Sunday, he'll preach
without fro n.
In tha Methodist meeting-house here in our town T
Why, It s all in the papers, an. men, as ui-y run,
Can read Of the deed that will shortly ba dona ;
It will empty our churches, for most of our sheep
Will take the occasion to listen and peep;
And for many a day will our parishes ring
With tho tiresome Jingle of Tyng a-ling-ting V
'0! what's to be done! can't this outrage be
stopped 1
Can't our tottering pulpits In some way be propped f
Let's run to our Bishop, and tell him the news ;
His Rererenee, doubtless, will shake In his shoes,
Whoa he bears that without, nay against, our eon
sont, A ton of the Church has declared his intent
To follow, so bliudly, his Master's command,
And to sow his good soed on another man's land !
Come oo, let us hurry to settle this thing,
By stilling the chorus of Tyng-a-ling-tiug '."
Bo straight to their Bishop a journey they make,
And at first tho tad Bows makes him quiver and
quake;
But his courage rovirot as their tale thev unfold ;
And he says, with an aooent deoidod ana bold,
"Dear friends, there's a eanon long buried in dust,
And tcrrlblv ohakad on with ashos and rust I
But we'll oil it, and give it some wipes and somo
rubs,
And we'll load it with charges of Hoggs and of
titubbs,
And then, as a ptrsn of triumph wo sing.
We'll fire it off with a Tyng-a-ling-ting 1 "
So the Bishop he delves, and the Bishop ho grubs,
And, by diut of assistance from Hoggs and from
Btubbs,
The canon is dug from the rubbish which chokes
Its ugly old tyuizlo ; and loud are the jokes
Which its obsolete pattern and straight narrow boro
Exoite in the crowd who aro waiting its roar ;
And then thoy compel our good Bishop of 'York
To bear all the grievanco, and stand all the talk ;
And by night and by day dreary charges they ring,
As they chime their sad authoin of Tyng-a-ling-ting !
And tbon to St. Peter's, to opon the court,
The judges and jury and oounsel resort;
And good Christian people, with wide-open ears,
Aro waiting to hear a priest tried by his peers.
And tlsay call up tho case, and the Inwyors begin
To indulge in their usual professional din,
And by bitter invoctire, aud quibble, and sneer, .
To show what a mass of corruption is hers ;
And roally 'tis shooking ! what chances they bring,
As they peal tho loud slogan of Tyng-a-ling-ting !
Ah ! mo, 'tis a sight at which angels might weep '.
'lis a barTost of tares for oar oburobes to reap !
Sweet Charity's prescnoe has fled from the scene,
And good men lose temper, and revel in spleen ;
And the Doubters and booOcrs, who relish sucb suits.
Cry, 'Lo ! these aro Christians ! come, judge of
their fruits!"
And tho canon has burst, and with dinouanoe loud,
Has deafened the ears of the wondoring crowd,
And the pall of its smoke like a garment doth eling
To tho walls that still echo with Tyng-a-ling-ting '
O ! servants of Ilini nhose sole mission ass Lovo,
Co yo still bear aa embloms the Lamb and the Dove ?
When ye read from your desk the tweet records
that toll
How lie preached in the Tomplo, and taught at tho
wen,
Do tho sapient eyes of your wisdom detect
That He bounded your duties by pariah or sect '
O ! bid these small envies and jealousies cease '.
Join alt" in one brotherly anthem of peace
And when your glad voices in harmony ring,
They 'll drown the harsh discord uf Tyng-a-ling-ting !

From tho very iutcrcstiutr sketches of
General Grant's early life, written by tho
Gcncrul's father, and now being published
by Mr. Kobcrt Bonner, in tho Is'ow York
Ledger, we make the following extract :
One duy wo wcro short of bands, and I
told him bo would have to go into the beam
room and help me. Ho had never worked
in the beum room any. The beam room is
so called because in it the hides aro woikcd
over beams when the flesh and hair are taken
off with knives, after they aro tukcu out of
the limo-vat. lie camo along aud went to
work, remarking, however: "Father, this
tannine is not the kind or work; i line, i u
work at ii though, if you wish me to, until
I am ouo aud twenty ; but you may depend
upon it, I'll never work a day at it after
that." I said to hiin "Jo, I dou't want
you to work at it now, if you don't like it
and mean to stick to it. I want vou to be
at work at whatever you like and intend to
follow. Now what do you think you would
liko ?" Ho replied that ho would like to
Lea farmer; a down-tbe-river trader; or
tret au education.
I bad no farm except tho ono which my
wue Inherited, aud that was rented out ; J
had no idea of lettiug him be a down-thc
river trader ; I had mouey, hut I requires
it in my business, for it took capital to carry
that on, and I could not withdraw enough
to educate him without crippling my busi
ncss. I thought of West Point; so I said
to bim : "How woulu you like West Point!
you know the education is free there, and
the Government supports the cadets." "First
Wet f A II eilf- YlA
SJSibV. PHIll UVI
I Immediately wrote to Mr. Morris, one of
our Senators in Congress trom uuio, and
asked him if bo knew of any vacancy at
West Point, the appointment to which be
could control. He replied promptly that
there was a vacancy trom our own Uongres-
sional district. This surprised me; for I
knew that there had been an appointment
to nil that vacancy a year Deiore. it turn
ed out, however, that the young man who
bad been appointed bad foiled to pass ex
amination. His father, who was a proud
spirited man, kept it a secret and did not
let his son return to the neighborhood, but
placed him at the privato military school of
captalu ratridKo. Alter spending six
months at that school tho young man made
another attempt to enter West Point ; but
failed a second time to pass the examination
This vouns man failed, not from a want of
talent, but because be did not apply himself
to studv. lie entered the army as a voiun
teer after the war broke out, and perished
In the war: whether at tho band oi the ene
my, or by accident, was never Known, nia
bodv havioc been found in a river into
which he had fallen from a bridce. His
mother became and remains a devoted friend
of Gen. Grant. She has always watched hia
career with the deepest Interest.
. our rcpresenuuTO m uongrets at mat
time waa tha lion. Thomas L. ilamer. I
wrote right oa to him, stating that Senator
Morris had informed ma that there waa a
vacancy, and requesting him to appoint
Ulyaaea. My letter reached him oa tha nicht
of tba d of Karcbj on tho next day, tha
ith. tua term or office axDlred. Ha knew
Ulyaaea, and was glad to have aa opportuni
ty to appoint such a boy, altar tha t ad luck
whicn baa atteoaadala previous appointee;
SO be made tha appointment at once. A
day's delay in tba mall that carried my let
ter would have made soma diffenaea in tba
btatory of one Ban, if cot of the country.'-
Ulysses was eotii Jy unprepared by any pre-
I yious study, pursued with specinl reference ,
10 fitting for West I'oint, Dut be got through
the examination and wee admitted. I never
saw bim while at West Point, except on ,
tho occasion of ono visit, which he made to
his home during the furlough at the end of
hi second year. It was said of him that j
while there ho was not ono who took pains j
to mane niniscii popular, out tuat an mu -
bnva liked him. I believe he went by the
name of "Uncle Sam," on account of hia ini
tials, 'U. 8." A superstitious person might
almost think there was something Provi
dential about theso significant initials being
stuck on to him, for thev were not given '
bim at hia christening. When the question
nroso after hia birth what he should be cat-
led, his mother and one of his aunts propos
ed Albert, for Albert Gallatin ; another aunt
proposed incodore, aucl his granciiatuer
lliram, because bo thought that was a hand
some name. Ilia grand-mother grand
mother by courtesy that is his mother's
step mother was a great student of history
and had an enthusiastic admiration for
the ancient commander. Ulvsses : and she
urged that tho babe should be named Ulysses, t
i seconuca mat, and bo was christened Hi
ram Ulysses : but he was alwava called bv
the latter name, which bo himself preferred",
when he got old enough to know about it.
But Mr. Harucr, knowicgMrj. Grant's name
was Simpson, and that we had a son named
Simpson, somehow got the matter a little
mixed in making the oominatiou, and sent
the name in, Ulysses 8. Grant, instead of

IMPKACIIMILVr.
Wabmngton, April 2. 1808. Tho Senate
was called to order at noon by acting Vice
President Wade. The galleries were not
more than half filled with spectators.
After prayer, Chief Justice Chase called
the Court to order.
Sergcant-at-arins Brown then, in his usual
nervous manner, mad the customary proc
lamation, after which tho Secretary of the
Senate read the Journal of yesterday's pre
ceding'.
lho llouso Managers did not arrive as
promptly as usual, and a brief pause ensued.
At twelve o ciock and ten minutes the Mana
gers on the part of the House of Representa
tives were announced, and on thi-ir heels
came the members of tbo House. Not over
twenty members, however, were in line,
many of them remaining in their own cham
ber, after the Senate, was in session, writing
lettors and indulging in speculative conver
sation as to tho prospects of impeachment.
During the rcadiug of tho Journal the
galleries began to fill up, and when the Sec
retary Had nuislicd they wcro pretty well
peopled, the ladiea aa usual being largely in
the majority. The diplomatic gallery was
completely deserted. Tho reading of tho
Journal was, of course, uninteresting, and,
in addition, the weak voice and indistinct
utterance of the Secretary made it inaudible
except to the Senators in tho front row of
seats. Tho audienco kept tin a continual
buzz of conversation, aud several times Mr.
Chaso was compelled to mp for order. -
I'HOl'OdED AMENDMENT TO THE HCLE8.
Senator Drake then sent to the Chair the
following amendment to the seventh rule:
"UrdcreeL That on all questions of law
and evidence lho voto shall be without divi
sion, unless the yeas and nays shall be de
manded by one-fifth of the Senators, or de
manded by the C'hiuf Justice."
1 he amendment was laid over for one day.
The tirst witness was Mr. ICorsecuer. of
Delaware, who was recalled at the instance
of Mr. Stanbcry. Only a few unimportant
questions were put to him, after which be
was allowed to depart.
Congressman t erry, of Michigan, was then
called to tho stand, and sustained the testi
mony of lion. Burt Van Horn and General
Thomas and Secretary Stanton at tho War
ucpariment.
General Emory, Commander of this dis
trict, was next called and examined by Gen
eral Butler: Is a Colonel of cavalry and
a brevet Major-General ; has been in com
mand of this department since December,
ltt.7 ; bad a conversation with the President
on the subject of the forces here ; can only
give the substance of that conversation ; the
-resident asked In in about the facts and
forces around Washington ; he told him as
noarly as he could the strength of cucb post.
Tho President inquired if bo should not
have more troops here; ho apoke to the
1'resideDt or military organizations In Mary
land : told bim be did not think it well to
permit them; that they were clothed in uni
form which was offensive to a majority of
our people, and that their officers were men
who bat', been in the Southern army ; bad
an interview with the President about the
2 2d of February last, and was sent for to
come to the White House.
General Emory was here shown a note
from the President's Secretary, telling him
to visit the White House. He then detailed
tho conversation which he' held with the
President, which is the same given before
the Board of Managers previously.

COMCKRN1KO THE PRESIDENT LETTER.
Mr Rt.nWv then inouired if the Mana
gers proposed to offer all the correspondence
between General urant ana tua rrcaiucu uu
that occasion. '
Mr. Wilson rcolied that tbey did not in
tend to offer anything bevond what they
now anhmitted. -
Mr. Stanbcry then wanted to know the
object of tba Manager.
Mr. Wilson said. "We intend to show
that tha President tried to prevent Mr.
Stanton from entering on his dutiea as So
cretary of War."
Mr. Stanbcry made a point that the Presi
dent, letter is aot evidence la the case Ma

Mr. Wilson said It was too lata for aouaeel
ta obi act. as tha letter had already beea read

Mr. Staabery appealed to the Chief Jus

Mr. Stanbcry proceeded to write it out,
and supported it in a brief speech. Mr.

"AD INTERIM" THOMAS
Is summoned as a witness by tho mnnngcrs.
and spends hia time, decked off in full uni
form, loitering around the corridors, and
occasionally bobbing in and out of the gal
leries, never remaining more than a few mo
ments in one place.
It is not likely that the managers will put
bim upon the stand, aa tbey can prove all
they desire by other witnesses, and they ex
pect the defence to make him their witness,
which will enable them to accomplish all
they wish. Subpoenas have been made out
for all tho members of the Cabinet, who are
to be called to testify to the declarations of
Johnson to them that bo took this step
with Stanton in order to get this case before
the Supreme Court, to test the constitution
ality of the Tenure of Office bill.
Generals Rousseau and Steadman arc to
bo called for the same purpose, and not en
tirely in reference to bis swinging around
the circle. The managers will not admit
his right to be heard on any declarations to
other for the purposes of exempting himsflf
of the ennaequenros of his conduct, or, in
other words, to manufacture evidence for
himself. It is most likely that all the testi
mony of these men will be ruled out, and
the excuso for delay on that account will
thus fall through.
rAUSONS and JonssoN.
In connection with Parsons dispatch to
Johnson and the reply, paid for out of the
United States Treasury, as put in evidence
to-day, it should bo known that, before tho
Judiciaiy Committee on the question of im
peachment of tbo President, February 8,
1867, Govcrnoi Lewis E. Parsons was sworn
and examined by Governor Bnutwell, who
was in pursuit of Johnson, on the ground of
interfering to prevent the ratification of the
fourteenth article.
To the question, Hus President Johnson
ever at any tlmo, to you or in your presence,
given any counsel or advice as to what
should be done by yourself or any body else
on the aubjoct of ratifying or rejecting the
Constitutional Amendment! Parsons re
plied : I cannot recollect that he has.
Question. Do you know anything done by
President Johnson in reference to its ratifi
cation or rejection ? Answer. I cannot say
that I do; I do not recollect anything that
he has ever done on the subject.
When tho impeachment matter is over the
managers will have time to bring a caso of
perjury against Par-tons.

Poaitlrcly Ilia t-sat Appearance,
Tba following announcement is printed
by special request :
ORAKD TAREWELL TOCR.
Mr. A. Johnson, the great American Som-
crsaultcr, being about to close bla engage-
mem ai nasuingion, owing to circumstan
ces over which he baa no control, has tho
honor to annouuee that ho will, during the
coming summer, perform his great feat of
SWlUGl.NQ AROt'SD TUB CIRCLE, !
in which ho stands unequalled in America.
He will confine himself to ,
OKB PERFORMANCE
In each town, during which he will inlro-!
duce all those trlcka which have been re
ceived with anch thunders of applause by j
the people. Elegant copies of the Consti-!
tution and the American flag will be distri
buted Impartially among tho audience at
each town.
Gen. U. S. Grant being confined at Wash
ington by pressing engagements, and hav
ing proved a bad card on the previous tour, !
will remain at Washington, bis place in the
troupe being supplied by Gen. Ad Interim
Thomas, whose
GRAND TRANSFORM ATIOX FEAT
of being Adjutant-General, then Secretary
of War, then Adjutant-General again, all in
twenty minutes time, havo secured for bim
a National reputation. Mr. Johnson takes
pleasure in announcing that Mr. Bill Sew
ard, Mr. Aleck Randall, Mr. Gid. Welles,
(proprietor of Gideon's Band,) and all the
old favorites will bo with the troupe, and
enliven all occasions with their spirited and
spirituous performances.
N. Ii. A. few good corucr stones wanted,
for laying purposes, for which liberal rates
will be paid. Apply at the box office.
Upeeuil Announcement. Verbatim report
ers and all other improper characters will
be rigidly excluded.
The La Crosse Democrat, the accepted or
gan of the Democracy, outrages decency in
tho following paragraph :
'Grant it a Methodist by trade, a tyrant
by instinct, a drunkard by nature, and a
bigoted Know Nothing by descent ; accord
ing to tbo driviling account published by
that dilapidated patch of old boot, leather
the paternal Grant, the remote ancestors of
Ulysses wcro of the Mayflower convicts.
Li. a. Urant bas lett no stone unturned to
secure bis election to tho Presidency. A
convicted liar, on tho tcstiraoney of five
members of the Cabinet and tho President
of the United States ; a drunkard from tho
testimony of all army officers who knew
him, from Whiskey Sheridan to Tccumsch
Sherman ; a foul Puritan by tho tcstimoney
of his emasculated daddy, and the tenor of
his military orders bis election would be
an outrago on deccucy far greater than the
election of the defunct clown who clung to
the office liko grim death to a sick nigger,
until the breath left his angular carcass."
Toe National Debt Weighed and
Measured. Mr. John Fair, a calculating
machine of New York city, thns measures
and weighs four thousand millions of dol
lars, which be assumes is or is to bo the
National Debt, which a Democratic rebel
lion has entailed upon the country :
It is said that this'debt is so great that it
is too vast for comprehension. Now aa a
practical man I propose to weigh it and
measure it, that we may thereby obtain a
more definite idea of its immensity.
A silver dollar ia 1. inches in diameter;
$3 placed edge to edge, will make one foot
in length ; f 24 so placed will make one
yard in length, and $42,240 ao placed will
make one mile in length. The earth is 24,
500 miles in circumference, it would, there
fore, require 4012,884,000 to go once
around it. Thia sum muet be multiplied
by four and four-tenths to make it equal tho
amount of our National debt, which would
make tho silver dollar go around the earth's
circumference four times and cover 8,640
miles besides. Allowing a silver dollar to
weigh an ounce. 16 to a pouud, 8,000
pound to the ton, our debt would weigh
123,000 tons, and would require lzs Biiips
of 1,000 tons burthen each to carry It.
It would make 62,300 truck loads or two
tons each ; and caculaticg that each truck
will cover a space of thirty feet, they would
stretch a distance of 353 miles, and make a
chain of trncka which would encompass the
great cities of New York, Albany and Troy
in an elliptical Une. It wonld take a man
803 years and 40 days to count the amount
of thia vast debt, estimating that he would
:ount f 60 per minute, working ten hours a
day and six days a week.
PerhaDS no more open swindle was ever
perpetrated than by the person who adver
tised in English papera aa follows, and yet
it is said that the answers came to the post
office by hundreds : "Au elderly bachelor
of fortune, wishing to amu6o himself by
testing the credulity or the pubiio, and to
beoentand assist others, will sendasuita

According to Mr. J. Rosa Browne, the
harvest of gold from the Pacific slope, ia
1867, was 75,000,000. From January 1,

den dust and ore amounted to about $1,165,
000,000. Tho report says that tho placers
are less productive than formerly, whilo tho

instead.

"That was bad, indeed. What did you do?"
"Me take him jug away and drink him my
