The approach of the season when Wash ington epicures can enjoy the luxury of '•planked shad" reminds the correspond of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of the fol lowing story about Daniel Webster: "Webster was an artist in this line and prided himself greatly upon his gifts. His only rival was an aged slave, a character on the river, called Bam. There were those who declared that Sam was the only one who knew how to cook planked shad, and others protested that the great states man was supreme. On sunny spring days, when parties of gentlemen weutdownthe river to watch the flsh nailed to their boards, sizzling and browning before the blaze of an outdoor fire, it was arranged to have a trial for championship between old Sam and Mr. Webster. Each contest ant was well backed, and the lights of those early political days were all there. First Sam split the shad, seasoned them as he knew would most nearly suit Mr. Webster's taste, and laid them before the orator done to a turn, 'Really, Sam, this is the best planked shad I have overeaten,' quoth Daniel; and applause rung from Sam's adhearents. Next Webster laid as'de his toga and hovered around the Are. ki if and salt box in hand, watching the shad that he had prepared in the way he knew would best suit Sam's taste. Sam ate three mouthfcls rapturously, and ex claimed, 'Fore God, Mr. Webster, I nebei liab tasted plunked shad before!' Webstei yielded gracefully the palm to Sam, out done by him in compliments as well as cooking." 1 hurlow Weed thus closed his scmi cntennial editorial article in the Album Journal of last o\ e.iing : ' It is not the man so much as the cause that should be considered in the seiectioi of a candidate for President. The par: A ought not to be demoralized by exciting and acrimonious conflicts about candid dates. The welfare of our country re quires the election of a Republican Presi dent. The duty of Republicans and their delegates to the National Convention is to reach a nomination by methods and in a spirit that will secure a united, zeal on." and hearty support of their nominee, whether it be Grant, Elaine, Sherman Washburn, Edmunds. Fish. Evans, W'in dom or Booth." The way in which ex-Senator Chris tiaucy met his young wife is desetibec thus by the Washington correspondent o the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Mi.ssLug enbeel lived in the upper story of a bonrcl i;:g-house with her father and mother, a d the Senator had the apartments on the ground floor. His sou Ralph, coming home from college for the ( hristtnas hoi idays, in some way made the acquaintance of the little blonde, lie escorted her t theatres, took early walks to the T e s ury with her always happened around a she walked home, and casually one even iug in the vestibule introduced his fat lie who .happened to come up. The young man went back to college, ami in two weeks was astounded by reading his atli or's nuptials." Chief Justice Ryan of the Wiscons u Court of appeals, it is said, is in perfect physical health, but imagines that lie is hopelessly ill. and ail efforts to persuade him out of his delusion have failed, lie was appointed to write a decision in a test case involving the vaiidity of option contracts, and as it will affect the cut! e system of the grain trade in the State, ii is awaited with great anxiety; hut the judge refuses to work, and Ids brothei judges of the Court of Appeals .tie reluc tant. to take the matter out of his hands.

Daring the coming Pn sljentlnl year The Tribune wiil be u snore elleisiive agency than ever for telling the now* best worth knowing, and for enforcing sound polities-. From the day tie- war closed it has been luoMt antdeus for an end i f sectional strife. Hut It save two years ago, and was the first persist etitiy t;> Proclaim this new danger to the country from the revived all nine.'- of tie Solid South and Tammany Hull. Against that danger it sought to rally the old party of Freedom and the Union it began by demanding the abandonment of persona. dislike- 1 , urivl sol the example. It called for an olid to attack* upcu each oilier instead of the enemy ; and for the heartiest agreement upon whatevro fit candidates the majority should put up against the common foe. Hince then the tide of disaster has been turned back; every doubtful state has beta won, and the omens for National victory were never more cheering. THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION. Of The Tribune's share in ail this, those speak nio>t enthusiastically who have seen most of the struggle. It will faithfully portray the earning phases of the campaign now beginning. It will earnestly strive that the party of Freedom, Unioa and Public Faith may select the man surest to win, and surest to make a good President. Hut in t his crisis it can conceive of no nomination this party could make that would not be preferable to the best that could possibly be supported by Uie Solid South and Tammany Hall. The Tribune is now spending much iabo and money than ever before to hold tho distinction it has enjoyed of Me large xt circulation among the bent jieojije. It secured, and means to retain it by he coming the medium of the best thought and the voice of the best conscience of the time, by keeping abreast of the highest progress, favoring the freees discussions, bearing all sides, appealing always to the best intelligence and the purest morality, and re fusing to carter to the tastes of the vile or the preju dices of the ignorant. tSJ'KCIAL FEATURES. The distinctive features of The Tribune are known to everybody. It gives all the news. It lias the best correspondents, and retains them from year to year, It is the "only paper that maintains a special telegraphic wi • of its own between its ottlce and Washington. scientific, literary, artistic and re ligious intelligence is the fullest. Its book reviews are the best. Its commercial and financial ne*-'s is the most exact Its type is the largest; and its ar rangement the most systematic. THE SEMI-WEEKLY" TRIBUN is by far the most successful Semi-Weekly in the country, having fonr times the circulation of any other in New York. It is especially adapted to the. large class of intelligent, professional or business readers too far from New York to depend on our papers for the daily news, who nevertheless want the editorials, correspondence, book reviews, scien tific matter, lectures, literary misecllaiiev, etc,, for which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient form for binding, THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE remains the great favorite of our substantial country population, and litis the largest circulation of any Weekly issued from the otlieu of a Daily paper in New York, or, so far as we know, in the United States, it revises and condenses all the news of the week into more readable shape. Its agricultural de purtmcnt is more carefully conducted than ever, and it it.is always been considered tiie best. Its market reports are the oilieial standard for the Dairymen's Association, and have long been recognized author ity on cattle, grain and general country produce. There are special departments for the young and for household interests; the new handiwork department already extremely popular, gives unusually accurate and comprehensive instructions in knitting, crochet ing, and kindrid subjects; while poetry, riciiou ami the humors of the day are till abundantly supplied. I'he verdict of the tens of thousand old readers who have returned to it during the past year that they find it better than ever, increasing patronage and facilities enable us to reduce the rates to the lowest point we have ever tu lied, and to oiler the must uuia/ing premiums yet given, as follows : * TERMS OF THE I'RIBUNE, Pontage free in the Cnitut iittUcn.
