(From Uarper's Weekly. '
AW OLD SOLDIER'S OPINION.
I'm a plain old nldier who fought la th rank),
One arin gone and this ugly (car ;
With nothing except my country' thank,
Not eren a oherron or a bar ;
Ibongb I fouzht a well a most of 'en Jid,
Loaded and fired with a tru an ' a ;
But then, you see, the faot of it is,
We are not all of us born to fame.
An army of onplains would hardly do.
With all to oommand and none to obey J
I'm proud of wearing the army blue
Proud of it now to Ibis very day.
Though the oruel war is over and done,
And I've laid aside my soldior-dress,
TruHt in the truth of what I say,
My love fur our cause is none the lest.
Think you, of men who have fought and bled
On common ground that is dear to each,
Where foe with foe have lain stiff sod dead,
' That of Itself rbnuM widen the breach?
My notion is. and I Ikink I'm right.
There seldom was cau;e for quarrel yet,
Since the tima of Noah, betwixt man and man,
That one or both of 'old couldn't forget.
I may ba wrong ; but that' not the point,
With a little patience I'll soon get si ;
Sly tongue, like tt times, is cut of joint,
And wags a little this way and that.
The point Is this; now tho oountry's saved,
Who is the man, of all, tn-dav.
Fitted the best lo take the obair ?
To put the thing in a plain, straight way.
We've many among us, good men and true,
Civillian and soldier, that I'll own ;
Sut the fact is plain to both me and you,
There is always one, as the world ha shown
Alwnys one more than all the rest ;
Kome model, you see. of the human race,
Moulded by Nature, the mother of all.
Fashioned and fitted for some high place.
There was Washington take for example him ;
And old Napoleon, the boast of Franaa ;
England's Wollington, stern and grim
Men not made by a freak of chance.
But to come riht down to the present day,
There's (Iriint ; now tell mo where can you find
A man for President fitter than he t
Or to it seems at least to my mind.
When the war had lasted for four long years,
With little hope ol a speedy end.
And thousands of eyes wore wot with tears
For the loss of husband, brother, or friend
While the town of Kichmond still held out,
Publishing wide our sore disgrace,
From the glorious West ho took command
And proved himself the man for the pine.
Now that's the drift of my talk, do you see ?
If I'm not quite clear it's my fault, thai' all ;
For every crisis there needs must he
One man, the right one, to answer the call.
Here we have biiu in Grant, a we had before,
And it's my opinion be can't well miss;
inu people are tor biin, ho s their choice,
to what better proof could thero ba tban this ?

PobT OKF1S, Co.NFEDItlT X Hoads (Wicb

Tlie Beleclin uv delegates la the Kno

t-uvrul weeks pat,t. Ao one wanted to g3,
and It 'Ui VunntlulllioUBly (kcidtii by all
that if tlie Cor u era uz represented stall.
I must be the man. I objected, fur ther aint
no uiuht id etcli trips. Ordinarily, I cood
check my expenses. Hotel keepers are but
human, unci l liev never yet failed to stick
'eiu, but with a Democratic cunveimuen iu
fall blast it would be a hopeless enterprise,
u im ten tiiuusuau 1 1 lie me, all a gom on
their cheek, wut wood ther be for me With
ten tliousaud hungry, thirsty, empty pocki
ted soles, wut cood Idol Therefore I felt
that I could not go. I wrote to A. J. to
know if he would allow per diem, transpor
tation and mileage to delegated, to wicb
ue angered :
"Sir For wieh candidutes do yoor dele
gate pel pose to vote "
This cioncl t-pislle settled me. I couldn't
go there pledged to him, becoz ef he Bliood
ent be nomiuuted wut wood become uv my
Post Ollice? Wood bia successor continyoo
me in place, wbo bad bin active in support
uv uuot her?
Finally the dny for our Convenslaio came,
and wo assembled. Bascom wuz uouiiua
ted, but be declined. Deekin I'ogram wuz
oll'ered the honor, and be declined, and so
did McPelter. Isaaker Uavitt, Podhatnmer
and the rest uv em. We passed all the first
day iu tryia to get oue wbo wood .tick, but
all iu vane. Nuecaino we adjourned till.
ddo the nest niorniu, wbeu we resoomed
our unsuccessful endeavor to persuade each
other to go to Koo York. Another day wuz
thus fruitlessly spent, and still another aud
auotber the last leaven u do nearer our
haven than the first. And so a week passed.
We met every mornin, coaxed, begged aud
swore at each other till nile, only to meet
and go through the mine formula the next
day. I lei t that, unless eutlifn wuz done,
the Corners would go unrepresented.
On the eighth day, at about ten in the
morniu, Deekiu Pogrum'a youngest boy, a
fair-haired lad of fourteen summers wbo re
semble the Deekin, came in with the Noo
York Day look, wicb the Deekiu takes but
never reeds. The Deekiu tost it over to lius
com, who opened it, and red a nrnit, w hen
bis fucc chuuged instantly. "Hell 1" ted be,
to himself, and tlitu be aroze;
"Mr. Cheerman," sed he, "to end this un
profitable session, 1 wood say that I bev
reconsidered my determiuashen. I will go
to Noo York !"
The L'ouvoDslion wuz thunderstruck.
Wat did it mean ! The Deekin seized the
paper, and glaucia over its columns, read
painfully a uiiuit aud sed that ba wuz sur
prised at Mr. 13 uacotn's aaahooreuce. "I sbel
be a delegate myself," sed he.
By this time McPelter read it, and I got
it and read this paragraph ;
"Let the Western Deiuocrisy beware.
They must come on the Fourth prepared to
encounter bribery and corrupshuo. lietmont
and Vie Wall itreet clique hee ratW fl.UUO,
UOU to le yoosed in the punluue of delegate
to defeat J'endUton,"
Tho Deekiu pertested agin Bascnm's goto.
"Yor can't ba spared," shrieked be. "Who
will run the bizues iu ynur absence t Is ther
man in the Corners you dare trust inside
yoor bur a mink I No, I will go." 1 bev
borne the beat and burden uv the day I
wuz with Forrest, and now that ther is a
ebuuee to make sttthin ibut is now that
ther is a posishen uv prof with is lo say
honor. I want it."
Isaaker Gayitt, with a face pala with dis
appointment, that be badu't taken it when
it wuz otfured him. swore that ef the Qavitt
family vr us to be overlooked, why the soon
er Democrisy wuz burec) the better.
Soiuo l)ere u lb course uv my leadiu,
cum across an account uv the trouble that
wuz perdoost in a mythological beaveo by
some cuss who tost in a golden apple, la
belled "to the fairtt," or words, to that
tffeclf, Tb iDDOUDMotDt that Beloont
bed a million and. a balf to invest in dele
gates wuz the golden apple which set us ia
a uproar. Every cuss in the convenshun
wanted to be a delegate Itnmclttiy, ana the
result wuz, the entire bilio come to blows.
I bed the mortificashen uv seed Bascutu
with bis fi ntrers clutched in the necktio uv
the venerable Pogram, Isaaker Gavitt and
Mcl'elter wuz similarly engaged, wnno l
wuz dniu my level best to restrain Pod ham
mer from mxBsticreein me. Had Dot Joe
Biuler and Pollock arrived opportoonly,
then entire Democrisy uv tho Corners wood
have bin wiped out on the spot.
it wuz finally settled by thrown dice tor
it, wich rool ought, by the way, to be adopt
ed by all Democratic bodies everywhere.
fcatidnll and McCullougb bev pmctist it
with distinguished success in making their
appointments. Say ther nru twenty appli
cant!!, or, to get neerer trooth, three hun
dred, for any given place. Very good. The
head ot the Department ascertains first et
thev are all Dimoorats. Then three hundred
clerKs are detailed, each clerk representic a
applicant, and they throw dice, the lowest
retirin every throw, nntil oue is victorious,
and the man represented by him gits the
place. It saves a vast amount or launr. in
the pggsaminushun uv certilikits uv carnkter
and timid, &c ; and besides, its imparshel.
All the appointments are now made in that
wnv at Washinton.
We adoptid this device, and I wuz made
delegate and Pogram alternate, the agree
ment being that whatever we got over ex
penses wuz to be divided ckal'y. Then a
boly calm succeeded tho storm uv pashen
wich bed raged. We go, uv coorse, ur.in
structcd, for obvus reasons. El' we wuz in
structed wher wood be the objik uv our
goin ! It is not sich that Belmont will go
fur.
The uncertainty uv the result uv the con
venshen (I say uncertainty, for who kin tell
wich candidate bez tho most monev ?) be
occasioned me a vast amount uv trouble. I
bev bin lul orir. assidyously to git our peo
ple into a fame uv mind to be etithoosiastic
over the nominee, no matter who it is, or
wat platform he is put onto. To bring this
about I bev bed em in front uv Buscom's
every nite for a week trainin uv em. I
ranged them in a row and takin my posishen
in front, give the word like a melishv offser.
"Attenshen 1" sez I. "Hor lor Chase and
Morrisey I Together 1"
"Ror for Cha " but ther they broke
down.
"Parson )" sed Deekin Program, "I cant,
Give me a week or two to practis alone by
myself, and possibly I kin make it. The

Providential influence and guardianship
over nations generally appear in tbe charac
ter of the persons brought up for their safe
ty and defense. Moses was endowed and
peculiarly fitted for tbe task of leading the
Israelites out from Egyptian bondage, while
Cyrus was especially prepared for the resto
ration of that ancient people. But the most
important event in the history of the human
rnco was the introduction of Christianity.
This new religion occupied at leist three
hundred years in its formation aloue. Du
ring this evcntrul period, and the seven hun
dred years following, the noblest portion of
iiuuiHiniy pasaeu irotn me ancient religions ot
paganism tn a worship of the true faith.
This heavenly doctrine had grown up under
sneiter ot mo no man power, and bv tho
middle of the fifth century had overspread
all its provinces. The worship of Idols,
which fo rages bad been looked upon as a
sacred duty, now begun to bo neglected ;
but tho advocates ol these ancient su
perstitions, like the slave-drivers of Ameri
ca, were determined to hiake resistance to
the further spread of Christinn civilization.
In a. d. lour hunured ana torty-nve, At
tila the Hun founded Budoon the Danube;
six yours afterwards ho was furnished with
material aid Irom the entire Heathen worm
to wage an exterminating war on the fol
lowers ot Jesus, styling nimseii "ine
Scourge of Qod" Attila, at the bead of sev
en hundred thousand pugnn troops, was de
termined to crush out Christianity in the
Western Empire. A great und important
event in the affairs of mankind was then
about to take place. Urged on by the au
guries of the hem lien priest hood, in com
mand ot this immense army, lie commenced
tbe invasion. Although the civil power of
Rome was fast declining, yet sulticient vital
ity was left to enable the Roman General
Aetius and 1 lieodorlc.lving ot tho Visigoths,
to gather the Roman legions to repel the
invaders. 1 lie two armies met on the plums
of Chalons, where the great buttle was
lought that decided the fate ol Christianity
in the tilth century. Attila'a intention was
first to crush the army under Aetius, and
then advance with overwhelming power to
extinguish the last spark of C'hiistiuti eivili
zution in the doomed Roman Empire. King
Theodoric, while leading a cavalry charge
against the right wing of the heathen nrtnr.
lost his life, but under the guardianship of
Divine Providence Aetius (like General j
Giant, raised up for a mighty purpose) tit
umphuntly defeated Attila in bis gigantic
effort to destroy Christianity. Tbe good
that resulted to the human race from this
great victory can never be over-estimated.
O'.her and important buttles have since bceu
fought, such us Totirn, a. d. 732, which res
cued Briton and Gaul from the civil and
religious yoke of the Koran. Then comes
the battle of Hastings in lUUO. and Joan of
Arc's great vietcry over the English, at Or
leans, 1429 ; then we have the defeat of the
Spanish Armada, 1588 ; the battle of Blen
heim, 1704 ; that of Pultowa. 1709; theu
comes the victory of the Amcricuu Revolu
tionary fathers over Buraovne, at Saratoga,
1777 ; and Waterloo in 1815.
In the above battles, extending through
a thousand years, some of the commanders.
like .Napoleon, have let t imperishable luu
rela. But when in any age of the world
docs history record such a galaxy of bril
liant military successes as those, achieved
by General Grant? While we are all reve
rence tho never to be forgotten names of
Washington and Lincoln, we must consider
it one of our chief mercies to have a man
left with us whom Providence has miracu
lously preserved through fifteen hard fought
battles, a man who everywhere has shown
that he possessed that Jtlicity the Romans
so much valued in their generals ; a Chris
tian would cull it miles of Dirine Piovi
dence, which seems to rentier auspicious all
bis undertakings; a man with caution and
intrepidity, with patriotism and enterprise,
with modesty and firmness; a man with
cool, penetrating judgment ami prompt de
cision. Every American citizen who looks
upon tbe old Hag should remember that
Grant and the brave arm v under him carried
it on from victory to victory ; Irom Fort
Donclson to Corinth, from Corinth to Vicks
burg, and from Vicksburg to Richmond.
This was done to strike the shackle from
the slave, and in defense of the best govern
ment ever instituted by man; while Lee,
bis antagonist, represents Attila the Hun
fighting for Blavery, tbe twin brother of bar
barism, Grant's name will ever be associated with
tbe salvation of bis country. It was be who
waded through fire and blood to free it,
and leave it undivided to posterity. Who
is there to speak againBt bim t Some say,
other Generals might have done the same,
but other Generals did not do it. And
what though Rome might have possessed
other Senators beides Fabius, who could
have vanquished Hannibal, or besides Fa

of Pyrrhus f Is that any reason wby these
old Romans should be robbed of the glory
with which they have been crowned by the
consent of ages I Wbo can view the present
ULsettled condition of the United States,
knowing the strength of the contending
parties, and not agree with us that it is one
of the noblest acts of patriotism in General
Grant to forsake bis sure situation on the

A Cage of Wild Anliualsj upvet on
i bo Itoad 'I'bey cr 1 ti Scene iAsi
jlepb ut is u 1 hull u doaen Cauu
fie Cowed wills I 'our.
On Saturday night Daily & Co.' circus
and menagerie concluded ita engagements
and about 4 o'clock on Sunday morning
left for Watertown. Those of our people
who have driven on this road know the very
bad condition the road is in, and will
not be surprised to learn that one of tbe
cages careened and fell into the ditch by
tbe side of the road. Tbe driver lieing
thrown off, struck stone by the roadaide,
injuring him so badly tbat be let go, hi
horses, wbo started, pulling the capsized
cagu with them, and dragging it oyer the
rough road. Tbe animal in the cage, a
liouess and her whelps, awakened from their
slumbers, set up a terrific roar which fright
ened tbe horP. increasing their l'"y !
pid spued. Fortunately the horses broke
from tbe wagon, before going great dii
tauce, Tbe affair created much excitement,
as it wa learned, through the scattered line,
and the other teams closed of la it, in order
that the attendants might render assistance.
Upon attempting to lift the wagon back to
iu place, it waa found that the cage of the
lionesa -vsi broken, and tbe train muter or-
dered it let dowa again until tbe tamer wbo
had tbe cage in charge could be sent for.
In letting it tlowq part of the cage caught
the leg of one of the whelps, badly jamming
it. Hitherto tho lioness bad paid no atten
tion to the men gathered abonH, but when
the wbelp set up a cry of pain, the mother
sprang up in anger. This set the whelp to
uttering most plaintive roars, when the
rage of the older beast became terrific. It
dashed tn the whelp, began licking it, and
at the same time uttered those loud roars
w hich have made it so famous. Becoming en
raged at its treatment it dashed to and fro
In its narrow limits, throwing itself with
full force against tho sides of the cage. A
couple of lions in an adjoining apartment
became excited over the scene, and nut only
added to the confusion by their roars, but
strove to break down the barrier bctweeti
the two cages. Tho scene was oue of the
most startling imaginable. All the beasts
in the capsized cages were yelling and stri
ving to get out, while those in vans which
had halted near became frightened and wero I
uttering tokens cf alarm in their peculiar
manner. The horses, too, of all tha vans,
exhibited the utmost terror, requiring tlie
eflbrts of the drivers to look after them.
As soon as word came to the band wagon,
the camels and elephants were urged for
ward, and camo up ou a quick trot. But
no sooner had the animals attached to the
wagon comu within the sound of Hin linn.'
voices, than they exhibited the most a hject
fear. The elephant threw up its trunk aud
blew a terrific blast a blast tliHt startled all
even those who had no sins of fear. Its
keeper bravely kept by its side and attempt
ed to quiet it feats, but the massive animnl
wns thoroughly alarmed. It seemed to be
insane, and its yells we-o full of agonized
fear filled w ith terror. Tim c iniels startled,
some attempted to break from their harness,
while others fell down flat, all uttering a
peculiar cry. About this time the lion-tamer
camo up. and hastened to the cage. The
beasts had become so excited now that they
scarcely noticed him, but made redoubled
efforts to get out into tho open air. Had
the tamer at this time larked a courage
which seemed nkin to utter recklessness, the
beasts would no doubt have succeeded in
mnking their escape. Without fear he went
to tho cage, ami very soon discovered the
cause of the fury of tlie mother. He called
the attendants of the teams to his aid, but
they were scarcely to be blamed when they
did not care to venture too cear. Two or
three of them came, and witli the assistance
of levers, separated the pieces of the oage so
that the whelp extricated its f.xit. Tlie
mother, her suspense relieved with the re
lease of the whelp, ceased her yells, and
auuin commenced licking the wounded foot.
The other lions seemed not entirely satisfied.
and rattier to enjoy mo contusion they were
creating. Keaching through the ventilator.
mo tamer strtirK one nttiipm an heavy a
blow as he could witlra short iron bur,
which seemed to send gomo reason into his
bead; and when the order came for bim to
move, he and his companion went into their
own apurtment, ceasing their howls, but
koepintr "P a low, indignant crow-linn, like
! dogs. The men came forward and raised
i the wagon to its ulaoe. fastening up the
cage where it was lrokcn, and the horses
being attached the team drove on.
While this waa lieing done, it seemed as
if the hand team would more than fill the,
bill which tho lion family had attempted.
Although the sound of the lions' voices
could no longer be beard, its effect was left
on the camels. Their keeper had detached
them from the carriage, and had succeeded
in getting them a few rods away. They
now made no effort to escnpe, but lay down
panting through feu.-, and apparently obli
vious to everything around them. The
monster elephant, ulso detached, seemed to
be in a quandary as to what he should do.
He slashed his trunk against his side with
a dull but loud "thud," and then raising it
in the air blew blasts upon it, before which
all the trumpets of a baud were as nothing.
But by soothing and coaxing he was at
length quieted, mid again attached to the
wagon. Tbe camels were aroused at length
by kicks and blows, and the strange ;ani
mala moved on, trembling iu every joint,

I hav flonlly com tew tho conclusion thai
larger beer as a beverage is not intoxicating.
I hav bin told so by agcrninti who said Im
bad (trunk it all cite long, Just to try the ex
periment, and was obliged to go borne uti
tirley sober in the morning. I have seen
time mun drink sixteen glasses, aud it
be was drunk, be waa drunk in german, and
nonody coul understand It. It is proper
cnuff to state that this man kept a larger
beer saloon, and could have no object in
stating what was not strictly thus.
I believe him to the full extent of lay
ability. I never drunk but three glasses ov
larger iu mi life, and that made mi bud,
ontwist as tho it was hung on end of a
string, but 1 was told tbat it waa owing to
my bile beio out ov place ; ant) I guess that
it was so, for I never bilcd over wuss than
I did when I got hum that nitc. My wifu
tliot ( was goin tew die, and I wuss afiaid
that I shouldn't, for it did seem as tho every
thing I had ever eaten in my life waz cum
min tew the surface ; and I do really believe
that if my wife hadn't pulled off mi booU
jest as she did they would bav cum thun-
derm up too.
Ot how sick i wuzl 11 years ago, an J I
can tAsto it now.
I uever had so much experience in so short
a time.
If any man should tell mo that larger beer
wuz nqt intoxicating, i should belevu him ;
hut if he shud tell me that I wuzu't drunk
that nite, but tliat my stum muck was out
ov order, i should ask him to state over a
few words, jest how a man felt and acted
when he was well set up.
If i wasn't drunk that nite, i had some
uv the most nateral simptuuns that a man
ever bad and kept sober.
Iu the first pl.tce it was about eighty rods
from where i tirunk.the larger beer to mi
house, and i was thus over two hours on
the road, and had a bole busted through
each one of my pantaloon neez, and didu't
have any bat, and tried to open the door
by the bell pull, and hicknpped awfully,
and saw everything in tho room trying to
get round on tho back side ov mc, and ia
setting down in a chair, i didu't wait long
enough for it to get exactly under me, when
it was going round, i set down a little too
soon and missed the chair abo.it twelve
inches, and con Kin' i;et up soon enough to
take tbe next one that cum along : and that
ain't awl ; my wife sed i wuz az drunk az a
becst, and, az i sed before, I began to spin
up things freely.
If larger beer is not intoxicating, it used
me most almighty mean, that i know.
Still i hardly think that larger beer is in
toxicating, for i huv ben told so ; and i am
probably the only man aiving who ever
drunk enny when his liver wss not plump.
I don't want to ssy ennythinp again a
harmless temperance bevridge, but if i ever
drink any more it will bo with my bands
tied behind mc, aud my mouth pried open.

1. Take finely grated horse castor, oils
rhodium and cumin ; keep these iu separato

cumin on your hand, and approach the horso
on the windy side. He will then move to
wards you; then rub some of the cumin on
his nose, give bim a little of the castor on
anything he likes, and get eight or ten drops
of tho oil of rhodium on bis tonguo ; you
can then get bim to do anything you like.
Bo kind and attentive to the auiuiul, aud
your control is certain.
2. Give the horse a little castor on a
piece of apple or potato. Put eight drops
of oil of rhodium into a lady's thimble.
Take the thimble between your thumb and
middle finger of the right band, with the
fore finger stopping tbe mouth of the thim
ble to prevent the oil from running out
while you are opening his mouth. As soon
as you havo opened the horse's mouth, tip
the thimble over upon bis tongue, and
