Boasting.
When the (electoral bill was introduced
in Congress many great men claimed to
stand in the light of a father to the
measure'—the great step towards effect
ing a compromise which would reconcile
all party differences and insure a fair
bount; but the great men of the day
are thbse who most strenuously opposed
it. Even Morton would have loomed up
asja statesman if he had not sacrified his
record to get a place upon the National
Returning Board.
Useless Hereafter.
From the present until the last man
who had aught to do with the counting
in fraud retires from the bench, the
United States Supreme Court is a use
less institution. Its usefulness has de
parted with its non partisanism. The
first act of the new Congress should be
to abolish the court and construct upon
its ruins a court that would command
the respect of the people.
Emory Speer.
The party trainers in the ninth district
are sneering at this gentleman because
he has the boldness to say he will not
respect a nomination made by trickery.
These gentlemen may as well understand
first as last that the old style of wire
working a nomination will no longer
bring the support of the bone and sinew
of tue party. Hence the old engineers
may seek another profession.
ILOEIDA.
Grapevine Telegrams to The Gazette.
Jacksonville, Feb. 25, 1877.—The air
here is full of the aroma of budding and
blooming flowers, and the climate is as
mild and delightful as May.
“Eternal Spring with smiling verdure, here
Warms the mild air, and crowns the youthful
year,”
and the meridian sut, most sweetly
smiling with attempered beams sheds
gently down a mild and grateful warmth.
All that painting can express, or youth
ful poets fancy when they love, can be
found in this appropriately named State
—Floiida. And notwithstanding 1 am
neither poetical or youthful, I find much
to admire, and a great deal to love—or
anges and fish for instance. We eat
oranges here as ycu do muscadines in
Georgia when ttie grape season is good,
and are not tantalized with the uncom
fortable thoughts that whirl through
one’s mind when he is devouring an or
ange in Elberton—“you’d better save
that ten cents it would help buy some
of the necessaries of life.” The hotels
here are doing a flourishing business.
Visitors from all parts of the country
are continually pouring into the State.
Most of these are invalids iu quest of
health, and in many instances the balmy
air of this section works wonders
in the restoration of the afflicted. Flor
ida, indeed, might be properly termed
the great hospital of America, as well as
the home of Flora.
Fish abound, and our diet is chiefly
composed of the production of the wa
ters. For breakfast we have oianges,
fish and flowers ; for dinner we have
fish, flowers and oranges ; and for tea
we have flowers, oranges and fish. The
monotony of this bill of fare is becom
ing troublesome to me, and I already
pine for a good square meal of pork and
turnip salad.
Col. Bowman is a big man here. He
asks mo to always introduce him to
strangers as Col. Thomas Jefferson
Bowman, ex-President of the County
Board of Commissioners of Elbert coun
ty, and has had his cards printed with
the above appellation on them. The
Col. had the pleasure yesterday of see
ing one of the largest alligators that
this State has ever produced, and as he
stood gazing on the huge dimensions of
the amphibious monster, his knees be
gan to shake and strike each other fran
tically, and he in choked accents spas
modically ejaculated, “1 can’t stand this.
Let’s go home. After all, this sunny
land of flowers is a sham and a humbug,
and I don't care to be the victim of that
hideous reptile. Oranges and fish and
flowers are all well enough, but this is
too much for a man of my age. lam
acrid. Carry me back to Georgia—my
own dear native heath ! Why ! oh, why!
was I persuaded to leave thee ? I long
again to hear the sweet notes of the ten
o’clock bell of my dear old Elberton, and
to watch the progress of the work on
the courthouse. Oh, take me back to
the place where sharks do not abound
and where alligators are never heard of,
much less seen ’’ When the Col. gets
home he may deny this allegation and
defy the allegator, but it if isn’t true J.
Madison Wells told lies before the Elec
toral Fifteen.
By the way, the people of this much
abused State are greatly incensed at the
foul action of the Tripartite Tribunal at
Washington, in stealing their votes for
Hayes, but as they believe the Demo
crats at the capital supported the electo
ral bill in good faith, theydonot sanction
the betrayal of that faith at this late
day. That Bto 7 counting will never
be forgotten as long* as America lives,
and the name of Joseph P. Bradley, the
blackhearted fiend, who has so foully
stained the ermine of trust and honor
widbo handed do tm to posterity, only to
be despised and loathed by all lovers of
good government. But we are counted
out and the die is cast.
Enough of this. Our party intends
seeing everything that is to be seen, and
enjoying all that is to be enjoyed, and
when we return I will endeavor to give
you a good letter on the beauties, cli
mate, etc., of Florida.
The party are all well, as am I, and
hoping that you are enjoying the same
great blessing, I am yours truly,
Clarke.
Court week is a good time to pay up.
BROADBBIM’S NEW YORK LETTER.
WEATHER PROBABILITIES-—REVIVAL IN BUSI- '
NESS MARRIAGES IN HIGH AND LOW LIFE \
ROMANCE OF A TRAMP ACTORS —-BOOTH,
BEECHER, &0., &C.
Winds noi-easterly by sou-sou-west, clearing
weather with clouds and rain—air cool and
bracing, with occasional fogs and light flurries
of snow—change may be looked for when the
weather shifts. I thought that the people down
your way might like to know how we are get
ting along, so I give you the latest barometrical
observations just as the mails are closing—great
fall in car-muff?, and india-rubbers at a liberal
discount. The principal thoroughfares are grad
ually getting cleaned up, the spow is rapidly
disappearing, and in many of the down-town
streets, you can now touch bottom with a ten
foot pole. If a horse or wagon goes out of sight
there is very little difficulty in recovering them,
with sufficient help and proper appliances.
Trade is improving. Our wholesale stores ex
hibit an activity the like of which we have not
seen for many months. I went among our mer
cantile houses to learn if possible the cause of
this unusual stir, and was informed by a promi
nent Republican that it was due to the cheering
prospect of Hayes’election ; I walked down two
blocks and inquired of an intelligent Democrat,
who confidently assured me that it was entirely
owing to the gratifying probabilities of Tilden’s
success. Whatever may be the cause, the result
is no less satisfactory ; and though gold is a lit
tie fluctuating, the fact that it tumbled last week
to 4£, brings us sufficiently near to specie pay
ments to gratify the admirers of Gen. Jackson
and lovers of hard money.
One of the fashionable events of the week
was the marriage of the daughter of the late
Judge Rosevelt to a Mr. Scoville, of Detroit;
for the benefit of your lady readers, I would
state that the bride’s dress was made by Worth,
of white silk with a train four yards long, and
the lace trimming cost in Paris two thousand
seven hundred dollars. One foot bridge is fin
ished over the East river, and the men walking
across looking about as big as rats, while an or
dinary boy would look about as big as a mouse
or a sparrow. The proper thing with spring
hats is to balance them ou the end of the nose
—tue left eye however should be left free for
observation, the right being concealed by a spit
curl. Ii you have a spare missionary, you may
fit him out with a life-preserver a good supply
of ammunition, spiritual and profane,—especi
ally the profane,—and send him to the Hotten
tots of Long Island. They need Christianizing;
the light of the blessed gospel ,has never pene
trated their benighted souls. Near the village
of Flushing, last week, a well caved in on a
man who was cleaning it out, the people of the
place gathered around the spot, and not a man
would take a pick or a shovel in hand to dig
him out un.ess someone would go security for
the payment. No one would, and so tLey left
the poor fellow in his living grave till death
came to his relief. When I tell you that this
oceured not far from the town of Huntingdon,
where Kelsey was tarred, feathered and murder
ed a few years ago, you will not be surprised,
though you may be horrified, to know that there
are creatures here in our midst, living in the full
light of our advanced civilization, alongside of
whom the Bashi Bazouks, who swept with fire
and sword, like destroying angels, the fair
fields of Bulgaria, are as white as innocent
lambs. Next time the plate goes around drop
in a nickel for a Long Island missionary. Speak
ing of Long Island, they had a bit of romance
at Flushing last week, which has worked that
goodly town to a tremendous pitth of excitement.
The story is briefly told. Paddy McGrath, a
native of Ballittasloe, was a corporal in the
grand and magnificent army of tramps. Paddy
wouldn’t work if he knew it—and he generally
knew it. He came into the town of Flushing
last Monday evening, just as the sun was setting,
and the principal hotel being full, and Paddy’s
pockets being empty, and his wardrobe being in
a rather dilapidated condit'on, he concluded he
would take up his quarters at the police-station,
an’bcord at the expense av the county. The
soft side of a plank was Paddy’s mattress, and
his boots (what was left of them) served for a
pillow ; but wearied with the toils of the day—
for he had traveled two miles and a half since
morning—he slept the sleep of the righteous.
He awoke next morning refreshed but hungry
for his nocturnal vision of potatoes and stirabou
had only served to whet his appetite. As I re
marked, his wardrobe was not in the height
of the fashion ; hat he had none, and one sleeve
had departed from his coat, and had gone no
man knew whither—an unsightly gash in the
rear of his pantaloons expossed a portion of his
nether garments, which fluttered in the morning
breeze like a mud-scow’s signal of distress.
Such was Paddy McGrath as he sallied on that
eventful Tuesday to hunt a precious breakfast.
Miss Katie McGinuess, late of Mullingar, was a
kuchen domestic in the mansion of the rich Mrs
Sprague, and Katie, by dint of untiring industry
ever since she lauded at Castle Garden, had
laid up an illegant bank account of nearly four
thousand dollars. Katie was not fair to look
upon, the youthful roses had faded on her cheeks
over thirty years ago ; but, as I have informed
you, she had the substantial elements of beauty
which sensible men prize. Paddy McGrath
stood almost six feet in his stocking feet, when
he had them, and was not over twenty- four.
Pat knocked at the door of the Sprague’s for
his breakfast, and Katie answered the summons.
Did she slam the door in bis face?—not she.
She invited him in, loike a rale lady as she was,
to buckwheats and sausages ; and as plate after
plate disappeared in the capacious haverssck of
Paddy McGrath, Katie stood wrapt in admiration
at the two stout legs which, minus stocking,
were tucked under master’s mahogany.
Exhausted nature must have test, so Paddy
was compelled to pause. He rose to depart, but
Katie invited him to call again. Through his
ragged coat and tattered waistcoat she discover
ed his native nobility of soul, for the McGrath’s
of Ballinasloe were gieat and noble when Brien
Boroo held sway on the hill of Tara. Paddy
did call again, and he was rega ed with a feast
that brought back the visions of his noble an
eentors. He then spoke of leaving town; Katie
pressed him to remain He said he could get
no work; she offered to advance him money,
He wanted clothes; she presented him a
dred dollars to purchase an outfit. Learning of
her bank account, he was struck with her
Gharms, and declared his passion. Katie flew
to his arms. Father McCann was at once con
sulted. The McGaveunys, of East New York,
the of Babylon, the Donovans, of
Flushing, the Kellys, of South Brooklyn, and
the O Shocknesits, of Jamaica, were all invited.
The bride was dressed in green tar.etan, with
red bows, and the bridegroom had a shamrock
on his breast and wore a pair of Alexandre kids,
size 14 J. The happy pair made a bridal tour
over to Cherry street, w. ere the bride has a six
teenth, cousin by her biother’s side, Buena Yoy
aga Signorina McGiuness. Health and happi
ness to Paddy McGrath !
Beecher got a leave of absence last week, and
has gone off on a lecturing tour. His salary is
only twenty thousand tor pleaching, eight thou
sand for editing, and about three thousand for
weddings and incidentals—so he has to eke out
the miserable pittance some way, and that is
why he is compelled to lecture. While Beecher
has been filling Plymouth Church, and Talmadge
has been craming the Tabernacle, Booth has
been packing the Academy of Music with the
creme de la creme of the town. All the gray
headed old buffers who used to go to the Park
and National forty years ago, say he is not half
as good as his father, but the girls say he is
spe-lendid—and so handsome. “Oh , Meeria,
hev you seen him ?” said a young girl on tne
ferry-boat the other morning. “I went to see
him in H-unlek last night, and he was so nice
when he came out dressed up like a gbos', it
was rale pooty.” Broadbrim.
CONSUMPTIVES TAKE NOTICE!
Every moment of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends, on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testimony
in favor of Dr. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a
cure for Consumption, far exceeds all that can
be brought to support the pretensions of any
other medicine. See Di. Schenck’s Almanac,
containing the certificates of many persons of
the highest respectability, who have been re
stored to health, after.beingjpronounced incurable
by physicians ofacknewledged ability. ScheDck’s
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences wili show ; but the cure Is often pro
moted by the employment of two other remedies
which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose.
These additional remedies are Schenck’s Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the timely
use of these medicines, according to directions,
Dr. Schenck certifies that most any case of Con
sumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at ffts principal
office, Corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia,
every Monday, where all letters of advice must
be addressed.

YEGETINE
Does not deceive invalids into false hopes by
purging and creating a fictitious appetite, but
assists nature in clearing and purifying- the
whole system, leading the patient gradually to
perfect health.
VEGETINE
Was looked upon as an experiment for some
time by some of our best physicians, but those
most incredulous in regard to-its merit are now
its most ardent friends and supporters.
o VEGETINE
Says a Boston physician, “has no equal as a
blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful
cures, after all other remedies had failed, I vis
ited the laboratory and convinced myself of its
genuine merit. It is prepared from barks, roots
andjierbs, each of which is highly effective, and
they are compounded in such a manner as to
produce astonishing results.”
VEGETINE
Is acknowledged and recommended by physi
cians and apothecaries to be the best purifier
and cleanser of the blood yet discovered, and
thousands speak in its praise who have been
restored to health.
