President, &e.
You are hereby relieved from further
Booty as President of the Unity States, and
will iminejantly report at these headquar•
tees. The altered condition of my prospen
requires that every officer in the army shall
at once understand his relashuns to toe, and
govern himselfaccordenly. I shall be ready
to receive you at lit A. M.. today.
Hilti'M THE GREAT.
General and Candidate, &e.
I was thunderstruck. What does he
mean ? ses Ito myself. I am no relashon
of his. I wonder if all the other officers is.
Does he want me to take his place at the
bed of the armies? Is he going to resign ?
Is the country gain to war again? I will
soon find out. So off I went to the head
quorters or the General. He was smokin
as usual, lookin kinker puzzled about some
thing.
"Majer," NS he, "have you moved your
things?"
"From whar and to whar?" ses I.
"From the White House to these head
porters," ses he.
"I don't understand you," sos I. "Ex
plain yourself."
"Well," nes ho, "I a►n runnin for Presi
dent. Proper subordination requires that
all army officers shall vote for me thenmlvs
and cause thoir men to follow soot. I shall
expect all to do so or lose their rashuns and
places. You are a mater, and I need not
remind you that douty requires you to buckle
on your armor in ►my behalf."
"General," sea I "I am took at non plus,
hors du combat. I don't know what to say."
Bea he, "I was nominated for a purpose,
and that was to be elected and this can only
be done by my usin my inffuonce on all in
my power. You know the army is in my
power, the District Commanders are in my
power, the Freedmen's Duro is in my power;

civil officers arc all under me ; all the °fl

"Ocnerol," Rs T, "my time is not out at
the White House till the 4th of March next.
Andy is a very agreeable assiAant in my
arduouti dooties thar, and good faith to my
constituent* requires that I shall stay thar
till relieved by the people. So, sir, you
must really excuse me. The Republican
party have, it is true, taken from our shoul•
ders most of the burdens that 01(1 Hickory
and I yused to bear, but we still find con

"And do you dare to tell me to my face,"
sea the General, jumpin up and pullin off
his cote, "that you will not obey my Special
Order No. 180,073, of this date, monthly
ccries?"
"Murder! murder! I' shouted I.
"hush I hush !! hush !I I Wier, if you
please, hush 1 I won't hurt you ! I won't
hart pun ! ' Please don't make a fuss, or the
police will jug me in the same bunk whar
Dan Sickles used to roost. (lice the history
of his trial, it is most as internstin as a novel,
and he made up with her again after all!)
Give me your commission, sir," says he.
"I hays no commission," sera I. "Gin
Jackson never did finish it before the nulli
fication stopped and peace Was restored. I
never had one."
"It is good for you that you have Tome.
I would take it away, put you in the ranks,
and then order the ranks to Alaska before
sunset. But," and the General hung down
his bed and thunk. After a while he lifted
it up, the tears were running down his gaws
among his goatee—"but, 11aiar, I have
gone too he with you. lam sorry fur what.
I have said and did. Will you pardon me'"
sea he,
"In corso I will," ses I.
"Give us your hand, then," i•cs the Gen
eral, "and let's be friends."
So, after shakein, be put on his Ilioth rein,
put his arm around my oink, and porter
lotivrin me, et down, and sed:
"3lajer, you hinted that some of the Re
publican: were dissatisfied with the She
cawgo platform and nominations. Who are
they and what do they say?"
"t;,meral," ses am a man of honer:
I can't make a breech of volicoowe, f can't
call names; but if you wilt it I will tell a
/re of thti reasons why you ace objected to."
The Com:ill nodded his hed, and I went
on:

"/ didn't make Mat phsybrnt," se the
General, ''l want thar (lint Par was. Do

"rim have approved it," ses I, ''and so

"Woshbon and the committee made me

were done. But go on, Major."
"Then." V , I , " y

the thousands without any advantage to
compensate for so much loss; your drunk
mess and stupidity"—
"Stop, stop," shouted the General.
"De they accuse me dell these things?"
"To be sure they do," sea I, "and a hoop
more. They say you snubbed the Hon.
Samuel Kelso, a colored gentleman at Rich
mond, who came on a committee front the
convenshon sittin that to welcome you to
the Bitty, and would not invite him in and
drink with him in your bar-room with the
other gentlemen."
"The devil they do," sea the General.
"Do thry, OMIT Hair Major t"
I nodded. The General held down his;
bed agin betiveen his noes. Presently he
began to grunt. I tl►ought he had the
toothache, and began to feel in my pocket
for my heep pipe for him to smoke f;lr it
It seemed to get worse. Ho began to groan.
and then he bursted out, "800-hoo—boo

"Take a little cloriform," ACH I, "and rub
your jaw with apidildoe, and bind a yarn
rag around it, and put a hot iron to it, and
maybe your misery will get easy."
"Oh, plague on your apidildoe and wain'
rags," see he; "I ain't got no jaw-ache, but
'the cat is out or the big.' The people
have found it out on me, and I shall be
beaten to death in the eleeshon."
"I knowcd that all the time," see I, "ev
ryboddy knowed that the Shecawgo Canyon
shun would hums nominated a Rya Pal r ob
itislumer like Wade, or Butler, or Thaddeus
Stevens, if they had not known that there
was to be no show before the people for any
Radical, and they have only pitched on you
because they say you dial smart, and will
take a good bet* in good humor, and will
hold tho party together sorter for the next
term."
"But they shan't make no tool of mo,"
acs tho General. "I won't submit to it. I
will quit the establishment and go into the
Democratic party, and try and get thar
nomituishun too. Do you think I could ho
elected if I had both nominssbunsr sea
he.
"Hardly," we I. "The people don't
want you. The people have determined to

all that.'
'Then I stn out," ses be, "Write my

"Git Washhon to do it," ses I. "Ile put

"Majer," ses he, "I am tired of Washbon
and his committy. Can you stay with me

House is over, and protect me from Wash

me ! They treated me like a baby,"
"I can't" ses L "Andy and I are sworn
friends, and I can't leave him."
"Let me have you ad interim," sea he.
"No sir," ses I; "that is a word that
bothers me. I fear another impeachment
committee. That is a dangerous word, Gen
eral ; don't whisper that, it makes my flesh

My gracious! I was locked up in the closet

II:real Vire al 011 0113. Pa.
OIL rill', Pa.. July unfortun
ate plane has again been swept by fire in the
same spot where it last suffered by the same
cane. and the visitation this time will
prob
ably prove more serious than the tires it
farmer days, when the city was animate!
with a feverish vitality that enabled it quitit
ly to recover from the heaviest blows. It
is no longer, however, a fast growing place.
and the prostration of to-day will be felt for
a long time.
The city is built on both sides of Oil creek,
%%here it empties into the Allegheny , river,
and the fire broke out on the left bank of the
creek, near the river shore, and swept about
twn-th;rds of that hall' of the city out of
There is doubt how it originated,
but the story in which most people agree is
that it was caused by the earelessness of an
employee at the engine -house of Parker &
Co., where there is a steam-pump used for
tilling and emptying the great oil tanks on
the bank of the river. This man undertook
to eletin out his smokestack by burning a
bucket of oil in it. The result was a small
explosion and the communication of the
flames to a train of cars loaded with petro
leum: which were waiting on a side track to
be discharged. Flom these the fire spread
right and left, almost with the rapidity of
lightning. Parker's tank burst, and one
other large tank was injured, but neither
contained much oil. The entire loss of oil
will probably not exceed 3,000 barrels, in
cluding the contents of nine cars of the At
lantic and Cheat Western Road, which were
entirely consumed. The fire broke nut at
7 o'clock in the morning, and by noon there
was not a wall or a beam standing in the en
fire burned district. The Jones House and
one or two smeller hotels, telegraph offices,
severel shipping platforms and small tanks,
and 50 or 60 of the best shops, warehouses,
and dwellings in the place were destroyed.
Fifty-three flimilies are left without shelter.
The loss is roughly estimated at $250,000,
on which there is very little insurance.
IT is a striking fact that the dying never
weep. The circle of sobbing, agonising
hearts around produces not a tear. Is it
that be is insensible and stiff already in the
ehill of dissolution? That cannot be, for
he askr, for his father's hand, as if to gain
strength in the mental struggle, and leans
on the breast of a mother, brother, sis
ter, with still conscious affection ; and just
before expiration, at eve, after a long day's
converse with the angel of summer, he says
to his oldest brother the last audible "good
night" of earth—" Kiss a n , kiss=," It
must be because the dying have reached a
point too deep for our earthly crying and
weeping. They are face to face with higher
and holier things—with the Father in heav
en and his angel throng, led on by the Son
himself, and what are griefs of mourning,
terrors of a dying farewell, be it that they
are shed by the dearest on earth, in that
vision bright of immortal life and everlast
ing re-union.

girl's beauty, said : "I'll be doggonod if she

Where does the Money go t
Tax-pnyere Look 1
Ovor FIFTEEN HUNDRED MIT,-
LIONS OF DOLLARS have been collect
ed by the United States Government, in
the shape of TAXES, since the close of the
war.
Just think of it.
One half of the National debt.
Where has the money gone?
Ts the debt any less?
NO I IT IS MORE, than it was three
ynurs ago.
While Congress has been making the ne
gro the white man's equal, and reconstruct
ing and impeaching, Fifteen hundred Mil
lions have been taken from the pockets of
the farmers, the mechanics and laborers of
the North.
The people were told by the Radical pa
triots, thieves and bummers, that the close
of the war would see a restored Union, with
peace and prosperity and happiness. Well,
the war ended three years ago, the South
laid down its arms and surrendered, but
Radical hostilities have not ceased. The
fight still goes an against eight millions of
white men, women and children, and it

What has become of these Fifteen Hun

Where have they gone to?
Hare they gone to pity the public debt ?
No I Not a bit or it.
How is it that in spite of all this taxation

as heavy, as oppressive, as erushing now as
ever ?

When you are asked to vote in favor of

the last three years.
risk them the reason why the South, now
that the mgroos are free, produces only one
half what it formerly raged?
Ask them if the Fifteen Hundred Mil
lions have not ttnne to—
Support a GREAT NEGRO BOARD
ING HOUSE in the South? And to—
support a Standing Arany over the South,
in order lint we may Dave:
Negro Judges.
Negro Governors.
Negro LegiAaturem.
Negro Governments.
Instead of appropriating this immense
amount of money to the payment of the
public debt, it has been expended fur the
maintenance of a grand system of pauper
ism-B'Am pauperism—and Congress has
just voted to continue the stupendous rob
bery another year.
What is the remedy? You have it in
your own hands , . Vote for men for every
otlico, from President down, who are OP
rost.n to these outrageous swindles. Vote
Ihr a President and Congress who will agree
to abolish tho Negro Bureau, and let the
negroes shift for themselves, and to abolish
the expensive Standing Army in the South.
But Grant won't do this. Ile says he has
no opinions of his own, and will do just as
Congress directs.
Allgatorg in Mexico.
On one occasion I discovered, say Capt.
Lyon, nn alligator's nest with thirty-nine
eggs. It is the custom of the cay man s t o
select some sunny, sandy beach, in which
they burry their egg:, piling a large heap of
sand above them. They then leave their
offsprings to be hatched by the heat of the
sun; although as the Indians informed me,
they keep "register in their head," and re
turn at the expiration of' thirty days, when
their newly-produced little ones are ready to
be taken on their mother's back and receive
their first lessons in swimming. The idea
that the allbtator devours her young, if she
can catch them, is denied by the Indians,
who on the contrary, declares her to be very
kind to them. I should like to have seen
in what way maternal solicitude of' one of
these horrid creatures is shown, tor a nurs
ing aPigatress must be a great curiosity.—
The eggs are about the size of those of our
domestic ducks, but bearing a highly-enam
elled surface. At each end they are trans
lucent: but an opaque white band encircles
the middle, which appears to a divided
membrance across it. The yolk also resem
bles that of a duck's eggs, but has a slight
flavor of musk, and the white is nearly of
the consistency of jelly. '
CoL. IL M. Ginsou, in a recent speech
at Pittsburgh, thus forcibly illustrated the
condition into which the Radicals have
brought the currency: "When the laborer
receives a dollar he receives but dereiley coils;
when the bondholder receives a dollar be
receives a Mar and fifty cents; the former
being paid in greenbacks the latter in gold."
Such inequality between the currency of the
poor.man and that of the rich, the Grant
party is striving to continue. The Demo

Mars amid Flowers.
When Eve had led her lord away,
And Cain had stilled his brother,
The stars and flowers, the poets say,
Agreed with one another,
To cheat the cunning tempter's art
And teach the race its duty,
By keeping on ita wicked heart
'Their eyes of light and duty.
A million sleepless lips, they say,
Would be at least a warning—
And so the flowers would watch by day,
The stars from night to morning.
On hill and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upturning, [dawn,
The flowers still watch from reddening
The stars from night to morning.
Alas! each hour of daylight tells
A tale of shame so crushing,
That some turn white as sea-blenched shells
And some arc always blushing.
But when the gentle stars look down
On all their light discovers—
The traitor's smile, the murderer's frown,
The lips of dying lovers,
They try to shut their reddening eyes,
And in the vain endeavor
We see them twinkling in the skies—
And so they wink forever.

NUMBER 25.
Large Lows or Voter; to Ike
Grant Ticket.
We have spread before our readers advi
cos from 'aliens parts of the county, show
ing that the intolerable et uelty of Grant to
innocent parties of the sect of Israelites has
lost him that large element of voting popu
lation to a man. It seems that other por
tions of Christians and enlightened society
oppose his election. A writer in the Church
Union speaks of Grant as follows:
"General Grant is not a fit man for a
Christian to support. * * Here now is
this sNecbless sphy.m enveloped in a cloud
of tobacco smoke—a silent, sitilihotn mon
of the world. Suppose he takes it into his
head to convert his four years grant of pow
or into a life lease, or any other whim. lie
has the army at his command, and every
et 1 influence, too, in the land all support
him, we do not say this n:11 be ; but is it
proper for Christian men to give the execu
tive power of this nation into such hands?"
From a Radical German source we arc
able to copy an equally savage assault upon
the Radical candidate. A German paper
called the Foinee, published at Indianapo
lis, is the organ of a large body of that
nationality who have heretofore acted eith
the Radical patty. This paper now st)le3
Grant a "smoking, NW...icy-supping, know
nothingistic shoulder-strap wearer," and
proceeds, under Ibur separate headings, to
explain why it cannot give the "no-policy"
candidate its support.
Two of these reasons are expressed as
follows :
"3. We %ill not vote for Grant, because
the Chicago platform is not a forward but a
retrograde step. We a:11 here only call at
tention to that plank which declares that
negro suffrage must be cm :led out in the
South, and not in the North. By this scur
rilous pusillanism it is sought to invigle Con
set votive votes; but this delusion will soon
be dispelled. Whoever is opposed to negro
suffrage in the North w tll ni‘h to see the
South exempt from the same blessing.
"4. We will not vote for Grant, because
by the result of the recent impeachment
trial the powers of the President have been
enlarged, that to place them in the hands
of an ambitious soldier, in case of a revolu
tion or foreign war, may prove the destruc
tion of the republic. Silent, ambitious
Grant is best adapted to miry out treason
able designs, more so than a Democratic
President from the cis 71 rants. Democrats
cannot :make matters worse than they arc
now. Let them exert themselves to this
end; it will bring the public soon to its so
ber sense."
This constant loss of adherents in every
direction is pro'ng fatal to the Radical par
ty. Appointed defeat by these constant
losses stares the Radicals in the face. It
cannot avoid that reselt, which is approach
ing surely, and not far off.
