Mr. Joeojib Elliott, ibc veteran
m. nin:r reporter of the New York
Jl.-mld, who Las recently been on a
v :t to England, Las be: n 'n'.ervicwed
l.y a C raj hit- reporter, and expressed,
ia verr plain terms, Lis opinion cf
tie English climate and racing ftock,
as wcll'as tie raa.-s of fpeetators of
English racing. We give so much
of the interview as bears on these
points:
"Well, Elliot, what do you thick of
England 1''
'1 tLink it's an infernal climate,
iiihaliited bx a race of heathen bar
l'iria:i.. I Lad a letter to TatterEall,
ar.d I delivered it just before I eame
av6v. I had been there many days,
1 joking at the pales; but 1 didn't
want t i be coached, and I delayed
presenting the letter. Said Tatter-i-;;ll:
"Mr. Elliott. Low long do you
Kav in London?' .Said I, "if my
writ eh is correct I i-ball be out of this
town in about two Lours.' 'How do
you I ke tbe country? 'Well, I
Lav n't seen anything in it to like.
It ai-tiears to nie to be only partly
civilized, and how in tbe name of
H A you arc going to civilize such
material as you have got here, passes
n.y comprehension.'"
' ?ut at any rate the horses ex
reed yours in ftyle, Fpeed and
rtroiipth."
No, they don't. There are more
'weeds' running in England than I
had anv idea of. I saw four hun
dred "race-hori-es on Newmarket
Heath; thatis more than we have
ia all America, for we have little
above three Lundred. I said to
Mat-Lew Iawson, who Las tLe best
stable there : 'You won't pretend to
race some of tho?e scrubs?' 'Ob,
we!!,' he said, 'we'll work, 'em all in
curir.g the season. There's to much
running in England that every one of
those weeds can win something.'"
"How many race-horses have tb-y
in nil j-.ngiuna :
"About three thousand. Their
t-vstcm of handicapping is vicious,
l" don't believe their Lories get food,
ininaie or growiu 14""'
Thev put their winners into the stud
too early, and fail to give them the
time and experience our horses get.
Jlf-idrs, the way racing is conducted
::i England is ia the hishest degree
i orrupting to man and horse. Every

-And you don't think the climate
. i" i:rj;-!at,d the be.-t for the horse ? "
I think il'fc about the worst; hu
1 iid, f-'ggy, wheezy, breeding con
sun.piion and affections of the throat
and ncftrils. I was ordered by mv
t!oetr,r to go cut of the country fi
nally." "Did you f.nd Trance any better?"
"Altogether better, both in climate
and manners. They Lave taken to

r.nd they carry off their own purses.

"Which are the favorite sires of

Macaroni and Elair-Athol the best.
The lirst has to be lifted up, he is so

c'.iv.e of English stock, as I have paid,
partly to the malign influence of rac

'Who.-e stable did you find the

'Oh, the Newmarket stibles.
Newmarket seems to be the immcmo
r.l home of the Eruish horse and
j (key. The three brothers Dawson,
l ive each about sixty horses. Mat
thew Dawson's stable is probably the
best in Englanl. It is lighted with
gas and kept open until ten o'clock at
n Lt when the ga3 is turned out and
trainers go to sleep. All day the
horse is kept amused by people con
versing near Lim. He is interested,
his mind helped, and his habits are
cleaner. We shut the stable doors,
li e horse remains in solitude, Lis
habits grow vicious, and Lis strength

"Still, you do not like England?"
"No, the spectators of the races

Although the Spanish and Mexi
can cessions comprise towns which
far antedate the earliest settlements
within the original thirteen States, it
is to the latter that we must first
turn in any attempt to broadly grasp
the history of population within tbe
United States. Lut we shall fail to
reach the full significance of the situ
ation if we onlv give to ourselves, as
reasons for treating this portion of
territory first in order, its present pop
ulation, exceeding that of any other
section, its earlier political develop
ment, or jis more conspicuous figure
in American history. It is not more,
but rather less, on account of these
than en account of the actual contri
butions which this section Las made
to the population of each one in turn
of the other geographical divisions
of the United States, early or recent,
that the writer on population must
turn first to Jamestown and Fly
mouth, or he will read Lis theme
backward.
St. Augustine (15C5) and Santa Fe
(152) were, indeed, planted before
English Cavalier or English Furitan
sougLt the mere northern ianus ior
settlement; but St. Augustine and
Santa Fe were a barren stock, and
tbe populations that to-day occupy
the regions in which these were
planted in the sixteenth century Lave

! the trreat province of Louisiana came
; to us. in 1 S03. more than three cen-
; turies after the discovery of the main
: 1 jud of America, it contained, from
the delta of the Mississippi to tbe
Fuget Sound, scarcely twenty thou
sand white inhabitants. That this
vast territory now contains more than
fire millions of inhabitants, who will
by lfij be eight millions or ten, is
not due to the robustness of tbe stock
which Jefferson annexed with the
soil, or mainly to direct immigration.
In like manner, when we received
Florida from Spain by the treaty of
1319, not consummated, however, un
1S21, the w Lite population was but
twelve or fiheej thousand, so slight
had been the fecundity of the Span
ish settlements. And when, in 1822,
Congress directed the Fostmaster
(ieneral to make provisions" for a post
route from St. Augustine to Fensa
ccla, that officer was obliged to re
port the next year as follows :
"Diligent inquiry has been made,
and it docs not oppct r that there is a
road between these places on the
route designated on whic'i the mail
can be conveved. There are Indian
paths which pass through different
Indian settlements, but none, it is un
derstood, that extend for any con
siderable distance in the proper di
rection." And so late as the first date
for which we have the statistics of
nativity in the United States, it was
found that of the frce inhabitents of
Florida mote had been born in the
original thir.cen States than in Flor
ida itself, while less than six per cent
of the free inhabitants were of for
eign birtn. itic lexas annexation,
again, now counts about 830,000
souls; but w hen Texas levoltedfrom
Mexico it contained probably not
more than 40,000, of whom by far
the greater part had come from the
States. In of the free inhabi
tants scarcely more than one-third
including, cf course, an undue pro
portion cf children, were natives of
Texas.
In the same way the first Mexican
cession, w hen ta' en possession of by
the United States, embraced but a
small white population. Of this tract
it is true that, in the furious excite
ment caused bv the discovery of gold
at SuUer's Mill, in 1848, it was set
tled more largelv than anv other had
been bv direct immigration. Yet of
the first eightv thousand gold hun
ters w ho pressed into the valleys of
California, more than three-fourths
were born in the Kast, of whom one
half, as nearly as might be, were na
tives of the original thirteen States,
while probably not less than two
thirds of the remainder would be
found to be cis-appalachian in their
origin could wc go but thirty years
further back.

It was while crossing an enclosed
lot of Charles O'Donnel, at Long
lane and Darby road, on Saturday,
that Samuel Fulton, 71 j-ears of age,
was set upon by four bloodhounds,
and, although his cries brought in
stant assistance, was so terribly torn
that he now lies at the Pennsylvania
Hospital in a critical conditiou. It is
about IS or '20 years ago that the
first two bloodhounds, of which the
writer is aware, appeared at the beer
house of Engel & Wolfe, then situa
ted on Dilwylie street, above Cal
lowhill. Thev were of the German
breed, a male and female, of a brown
ish black in color, and compared with
all other dogs that ever did "deiirht
to bark and bite" as Dr. Watts so
sweetly savs of immense sizj. Since
then, by importation and natural in
crease, the number has grown until
scarcely one of the many beer brew
eries is without one or more of them,
while tbe (Jermau butchers as a rule
take a pride ia seeing who can own
the b'ggist aud savagesL There are
three varieties, the Siberian, tbe llus-
sian and the Uerman, in this city.
The best specimen of the Siberian,
the most lerotious of all, can lie
found within the walls Of the East

interview them by becoming a pris
oner, and then, breaking out of his
cell, skirmish around the yard of

varying in size according to the pu
rity of tbe breed, are to be found
among the manufacturers of beef and
beef and pork, and are w ithout ex
ception the most ungrateful, vicious,
dangerous and untamable brutes that
exist among tbe so-called domestic an
imals. It is as much as one was can
do when attacked to escape unharm
ed from their fangs, and when a poor
old man of "I is attacked by four of
them at once, it is no wonder that tbe
hospital report says: "A large piece
was torn from one of bis legs, and
his body terribly lacerated, and be is
in a dangerous condition."-
Some two years since a well known
down town lumber nercbant possess
ed one of these villainous pets that
be Lad raised from puppyhood. As
it grew towards full size he was com
pelled to keep it chained because not
a workman ia the yard dared to lay
a band on .even a lath but the dig
would Sy at him. He bad fed tbe
dog always himself, and therefore!
imagined that be would never attack
Lim. llut one day, when removing!
and return it filled with food 03 usu
al, tLe dog flew ath'ua, and the chain
only saved him from a bite. Then he

took a stick and soundly whipped the
chained bloodhound. Kut the next
day tbe villain was shot, for when
the lumber merchant that night un
chained Lim be barely escaped with
bis life by a flight to a board pile,
where Le wa all-night bssicgef.
It was only last summer that the
writer happening at llridgeport, op
posite Norristown, saw slowly stalk
across t he road and into the yard of
a large factory a most superb female
of the S.berian breed. Tbe watch
man cf the factory was standing by.
and with bim tbe visitor conversed
about tbe animal he had just seen.
I'll show you something, he said, and

pub as big a3 a fu.l grown Spanish
pointer. This, be said, w as one of
her pups, and nine months old, but I
have an older one, a brother of the

fellow. This, he said, is 13 months
old and weights 190 pounds, inint

wonld have with a bound of this

Tbe fact is that these bloodhounds
are danc-erous. even to their owners
are utterly useless to any one, and
are kept only because of a competi

An admirable character is the man
of backbone. How few there are
among us who have a good spinal
column. A sound physique argues
obedience to God's laws, and there
are few things more desirable than
"a sound mind in a sound body." A.
steam eugine, if it work wtrrl, must
have a scums' in some substantial
material or else when the fires are
started there will be a confusion and
. .-t .1
ruin. And in oruer 10 nave iue mmu
work up to its best power it should
be set in a frame work 0. healtny
nerves and tissues with a powerful
muscular development. Our man of
backbone regards his body as a sa
cred treasure, not to be abused; a
piece of machinery the conditions
and powers of which it is important
to understand. Hence he is temper
ate in catinz and drinking while be
endeavors to secure that measure of
exercise which will serve to keep his
powers in proper working order.
The man of backbone has intelli
gent convictions of what is true, and
what is duty, and whatever be tue
consequences he determines to act on
these convictions. He is, withal,
very frank in the expression of his
views, letting men know where Le
sta ids on the great questions of the
day, and allowing his name to be as
sociated with his personal views.
'Backbone" can give a reason for toe
faith that is in Lim, whether that
faith concern things Eecular or re
ligious. He i? mild without weak
ness, stern without the ii3e of invec.
ive, indignant against wrong and
without hatred of the wrong doer.

A rose with so pretty a little story
and so full of romance as this ought
to be beautiful, and so is the Chero
kee Itose. Here is the story told of
it.
"An Indian chief of tho Seminole
tribe was taken prisoner by bis ene
mies, the Chcrokees, and doomed to
torture; but fell so seriously ill that
it became necessary to wait for bis
restoration to health before commit
ting him to the fire. And, as he lay
prostrated by disease in tbe cabin of
tbe Cherokee warrior, tbe daughter
of the latter, a young dark faced
maid, was his nurse. She fell in
love with the young chieftain, and
wishing to pave bis life,, urged him
to escape. But be would not do so
unless she would flee with him. She
consented. Yet, before they had
gone far, impelled by soft regret at
leaving home, 6he asked permission
of her lover to return for tbe purpose
of bearing away some memento of
it. So, retracing bcr footsteps, she
broke a sprijr from tbe white rose
which climbed the poles of her fath
' ft.... n 1 ..nr. - 'i r, A. if .1 nr'n f
her flight thronsrh the wilderness,
planted it by the door of her new
home in the land of the beminoles.
And from that day this beautiful
flower has always been known in
Florida and throughout the Southern
States by the name of the Cherokee
Rose."
Kennedy for I'oIMn by Ivy.
It seems to me that I read a'l kinds
of cures for ivy or mercury poison
except tbe right one. I have always
endeavored to keep it before the pub
lie but have failed. It is to dissolve
sujrar of lead a bit tbe size of a haz-
lenut in half a teacupful of sweet
milk or warm water. Apply as warm
as can be easily borne whh a soft
linty piece of linen rag. Three or
four applications are sulhcient to ef
fect a cure. If the poison is on the
face and Bearing the eyes or mouth,
this astringent wash may be con
stantly applied. It is a marvelous
cure and by watching closely one can
see tbe fevered blisters turn from
white to yellow during the applica
tion. This remedy for ivy poison
should prevent a great deal of suf
fering. It is well where a member
of a family is easily poisoned to keep
sugar of lead in the house all the
time. Let it be labeled and kept
where it can be found the moment it
is wanted. Keep it well wrapped up
that it may not lose itsstrength.-

A correspondent writes as follows
from Cork to the London Daily Tele
grapi :
"Great excitement has been caused
here by the fact that the whale which
is supposed on Sunday morning last
was the canse of breaking off one cf
blades of the fans of the Canard
steamer Scythia has been picked up
outside Ballycotton Bay, in tbe vi
cinity of the spot where the accident
occurred. The monster was first
found by a gentleman who was going
to Dublin in his yacht He took it
in tow, but, finding the weight too
great, transferred it shortly after
wards to the Liverpool tug steamer
British King, which brought it into
Cork harbor. Tbe animal measures
forty-four feet long from the extremi
ty of the under jaw to tbe end of the
tail. Jt lies on its side in tbe water,
disclosing a gash of about three feet
in length, commencing at the angle
of the upper and lower jaws, and ex
tending towards tbe tail. It is a
clean cut wound, just such as would
be inflicted ty the blade of a propeller, '
and it must have been a tremendous
blow, because tbe jawbone, which is
fully eighteen inches thick, is com
pletely severed. Judging from the
advanced state of decomposition of j
the carcass death must have ensued j
very soon after tho collision. Not-!
withstanding the very unpleasant
smell thousands of people were along

"A fly ? gracious, no!" she re
nlied. a look of diseast on ber face.
"Just as you say, madam," he
went on, as he drew some lemon syr
up. "Feople are so different in tastes,
you know. Some object to flies and
,i.nr I'll mix some uineapple
svrup with this lemon, and now ill
von have a trreat deal of gas a id a

and a little gas."
"I'm purty thirsty," she said.
"Well, then, you want more wa
ter than gas, and there won't be so
much danger of an explosion."
"Explosion ?" she queried.
"That was the word, madam. We
have had but few such accidents here
this summer, and I truly hope that
we may have no more."
"Does soda water blow up folks?"
' That depends on the state of their
health. Some people could stand
here and drink it all day, while oth

"Bust?"

He stood with the glas3 in bis band

Tbe Biggest Sperling Yet.
Ijand and Water, (London,) tells
of the capture, in the Mysore dis
trict, India, of a herd of elephants,
numbering forty-nine head. An irri
gating canal winds through a dense
jungle, at some points approaching a
small river, at others stretching away
from it into the jungle, la one place
a bend of tbe canal form3, with tbe
river, an enclosure in the shape of a
horseshoe, containing about fifteen
acrep of wooded ground. To this
place elephants resort during the
monsoon, crossing the canal at three
or four points where the banks have
become trodden down by constant
use. la order to entrap tbe entire
herd two lines of chanes were stretch
ed across the river at the ends of a
horseshoe and a trench was dug od
the river-bank to cut off escape on
that side. Tbe elephants having
crossed into the enclosure, the fords
were barricaded with cocoanut trees,
the canal deepened at those places,
and two deep trenches cut from the
canal. Meanwhile a deep, circular
treuch was dug, enclosing about an
acre of grouud, and two parallel
trenches were also dug, leading from
the horseshoe to this small enclosure.
Drop-gates were made to prevent the
animals leaving the Leddah when
once they bad entered it A large
force of men were now directed to
drive tbe herd iuto tbe Leddah. The
first attempt failed, tbe elephants
stampeding back into tbe horseshoe
after a few of them had entered the
enclosure. A second effort was
crowned with success. First came a
female with ber calf; then seven
other females, and after a while on
came tbe entire herd with a rush,
males, females and calves of all sizes,
"like a herd of rather large pigs.
jostling and pushing one another
through the gateway." When the
last were in, down went the gate, and
they were all secured. The catching of
the elephant9, one by one, was the
work of several days. The men
ride ia among them oa tame beasts,
and put ropes round their legs and
necks, after which tbe tame elephants
drag them out in spile of all resist
ance, and they are chained, one by
one, to trees, to be trained at leisure.
They do not mind the tame elephants
mixing with tbcm at all, even with
men on their backs, but they object
strongly to the mea oa the ground,
who have to put oa the ropes. The
clever way in which the tame ele
phants help is wonderfuL They
move close up to the wild ones, and
understand Loir to put their legs so
as to shield tbe men from all kicks.
They take bold of the wild ones' legs
and trunk with their own trunks, and
are invaluable.

men nractical meD. so called to
honestly eater upon mechanical ard
financial schemes of enormous prom
ise and certain failure. Tho swind
ler has a motive that cannot le mis
taken; but what is the motive of the
victim? Is it native stupid;ty, invin
cible ignorance, eagerness for sudden
riches, or what, that makes capitalists,
notoriously shy of taking hold of en
terprises ef real merit, so ready to in
vest their money in palpable frauds?
There is need of another Darwin
to study tbe genesis of the various
species of swindles. Do they follow
a consistent law of evolution, and
mark successivu stages of individual
unwisdom and popular incapacity
for learning? It would be a curious
study a consumedly interesting
study: we fear it would be a3 humii
itating to human pride and disastrous
to our theories of popular progress.
To say the best, it does take man
kind a terrible while to learn any
thing, by experience or otherwise.
A good deal of light has been cast
on many phases of gregarious fool
ishness of human sheepisbness, as
Sir Arthur Helps cleverly character
izes the tendency of men to "go with
the crowd," right or wrong by tbe
study of epidemic delusions, wherein
whole communities, often whole na
tions, have gone mad with some dom
inant idea, as of witchcraft or the
like; but such studies throw little di
rect light on the philosophy of swin
dles. Those take possession of crowds;
these are limited in their operations
to individuals.
Besides, epidemic delusions are al
ways of an emotional character, and
have to do primarily with spiritual
affairs, though their manifestations
and results are often enough grossly
physical; while the swindle has al
ways a material object. To use a
rough but sufficiently accurate figure,
tbe one usually speculates in corner
lots in the New Jerusalem, tbe other
in swamp lots in some wildcat city
of the Far West. The one trades on
tbe transmutation of the base metals
of human weakness and wickedness
into celestial gold by tbe violation of
all social and moral principles; the
other oa the conversion of common
lead into double eagles by some im
possible circumvention of the laws
of nature.
Ia both there is a firm, often in
tense, belief ia tho incredible. In
both there is a confident expectation
of getting a very large something out
of nothing, or what is worse than noth
ing. In both epidemic and individ
ual delusions, too, the victims are oft
en men who, on other subjec's, are
shrewd, sane, practical.
I he social conditions and current
beliefs, which prepare the way for the
reign of tbe first, can be clearly made
out. Is it possible to do the same
for tho second? To estimate how
far the two rest upon a common ba
sis of misconception as to the condi
tions of existence, and how far the
ditiona of heredity, environment.want
or knowledge and greed cf gain?
We are inclined to think it is quite
possible; but we leave it to the future
Darwin of this department of natu
ral history to undertake the task. It
will be sufficient for us, when time
and space permit, to notice a few of
the determining conditions which
make the trade of the swindler so en
ticing and remunerative.
Why Some People are l'oor.
Silver spoons are used to scrape
kettles.
Coffee, tea, pepper and spices are
left to stand open and lose all their
strength.
Potatoes in the cellar grow, and
the sprouts are not removed until the
potatoes become worthless.
Brooms arc never bung up and are
soon spoiled.
Nice-handled knives are thrown
into hot water.
The flour is sifted in a wasteful
manner, and tbe bread pan is left
with the dough sticking to it
Clothe3 are left on the line to whip
to pieces ia the wind.
Tubs are left in the sun to dry and
fall apart.
Dried fruit3 are not taken care of
and become wormy.
A short, stubby fellow, with b;s
bat on one side of his head, and bis
pant3 rolled np, walked into a Bcston
oyster house the other evening, and
holding the stump of an unlit cigar
betwen hi3 clenched teeth, looked
around and inquired :
"Got'ny oysters ?"
"Yes, sir," said the oysterman, as
be cast his eyes over the half dozen
baskets full lying around loose.
"Well, bow much be they a dozen?"
"Eighteen cents."
"Eighteen cents ?"
"Yes, sir, eighteen ceu's."
"Shucked ?"
"Opened, of course, ifym waiit'em
opened."
"Well, gi'm me one uot shucked ?"
"Oue ! What do you waut of one
oyster?"
"Well, said the customer, confident
ly, leaniog over the oyster stand and
taking his eig ir from bet wee u bis
teeth. "You see I'm going' to a
social party out here near Albia to
night, an' some of the boys might
get a foolin'. I've been 'round a
good dual, au' I tell yer there's noth'
in' so cooliu' on' bcalin' like for a
block eye as a good, big oyster. 1

How much is't."
Bitttle of the Revolution
Below we give a list of all the im
portant battles of the Revolution.
They bijran April 19,1773. They
closed iiciuuer rj.nsi six year
and six months, lbe British sent
134,000 so'diers and sailors to this
war. The Colonists met them wiih
230,000 Cnniineuials and oO.OOO mili
tia. 1 he British let loose Indians
and equally savage Hesians. The
Colonists had for allies the b.ave
and courteous Frenchmen. The lead
iug battles of tbe war. those particu
larly worthy of celebration, are Con
cord and Lexington, Bunker Hill.
Long Island, White Plain?, Trenton.
Princeton, Bennington, Saratoga,
Monmouth, King's Mountain. Cowp.
ens, Eutaw Springs, and Yorktown.

l"se for Sweet Corn oa the Farm.
The finest fodder is raised from
mammoth sweet cora sowa for that
purpose, it being of large growth and
suckering fri 'y on good soil. I f o be
fed during short pas. irage in sum
mer it should be wilted at least
twenty-four hours before feeding. If
for winter use, it should be well cured
before storing, as it contains so much
sugar that it beats quickly. Our
practice ha3 been to wilt it two days,
turning it on the second , day, and
then set it up in large shocks, and
there let it stand till wanted, load
by load. We find it the best and
cheapest feed, and on our rich garden
lauds as profitable as most of our
vegetable crops. We sow it in fur
rows three feet apart, eight or ten
kernels to a foot ia length. - After
one or two workings the shade '. cov
ers tbe ground. It can be cut with
a bush book or what is better, with
a stout reaper, and left in bundles, if
you have two smart men to remove
them "lively." Some of our largest
pork raisers also grow largely of the
earlier sorts to begin laying on fat
before the Dent corn is ready. It is
especially serviceable where clover
does net nojnsh, so as to furnish Bum
mer hog feed. As soon as it is fairly
in the milk they begin to feed, cut
ting up from near the ground.
Scarcely a butt is left, while of field
corn much of the stock is refused by
the bogs. By the time tbe early sorts
are fed out the large evergreen sorts
&T3 ready. This feed includes excellent
thrift, and prepares hocrs nicely for
profitable feeding of the main crop,
and brings oa earlier pork aad more
ol it. 1 have never known any one
to be dissatisfied with tbe results of
the practice.
The tiood of It.
As "to tho good of it'" says Gen.
Hawley, iu aa address on rifle shoot
ing, it can provide in our country
our strongest protection against a
foreign war. There is no nation in
the world but would hesitate to at
tack another whose soldiers were
practiced , long-range marksmen.
Skill in accurate shooting wonld
counterbalance military discipline.
A regiment armed with breechload
ers aad drilled in marksmanship alone
would put to route the best drilled
regiment of regulars before the latter
could march half a mile. Raw troops
who know they can shoot well pos
sess confidece which otherwise would
only come of months of training. It
is therefore for the good of any na
tion which does not maintain a regu
lar army thut its citizens should know
how to haudle tie best firearms effec- j
tively. The introduction of. long-
range shooting has - done much to
improve the geneml skill of our peo- j
pie in the use cf the rifle, as is shown
at every target shoot in the numerous
rifle clubs which have been formed all
over the country.
l lilixloic Bad Language.
Yesterday afternoon a man who
had been beaten in a lawsuit, stood at
tbe corner of Griswold street and
Justice alley aud cursed high and
low. He w as spuuting away in
vehement tones when the lawyer
asked :
"Are you swearing at apybody in
particular ?"
"No, blast you, no !" ripped'out the
indignant man.
"Well, itV tojbad too Lave all that
wasted. I wish you would usd a
few of the biggest and best oaths on
Hannibal Hamlin, the man n ho raised
the rales of postage.'? -
Tbe man gave it to Hamlin right
and left for eleven minutes, snd then
the police interfered.
General Scuexck, U. S. Minister
to England, has been usiug an old
American anecdote to good advan
tage. To the wife of a British cabinet-officer,
who assured him that,
"EugUad made America all that she
is," he said: "Pardon' madam, yon
remind mo cf an answer of the Obio
lad iu his teens, who" attending San.
day school for the first time, was
asked by bis teacher. 'Who - m.
you ?' He replied, 'Why God made
me hbout so long (holdiDg his bands
about ten Inches apart) but I growed
the rest'" ,
