THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS.
By 8. H. SMITH & CO.]
AN ASTONISHED ENGLISH
MAN.
Hi* Horror at Hearing that William
Cul/en Bryant and Ralph Waldo
Emerson are Negro Mimtrtl*—A
Comer in Peanut*.
The fluctunticun of fortune in this
country are no sutiJeu, ami meu so
frequently chtinge their avocations,
thnt it is not struuge foreigners can
be made dupea in regard to the Rute
cedents*und occupations of our pub
lic men.
Au P-oglihhman, quite well inform
ed for an Englishman in rtg ird t<>
America, arrived hire recently, and
was much astouishel at the things
he saw andjheard. H»* could hardly
credit*! be story that, the President of
the United States once had a small
farm near St. Louis, depended foi
subsistence on selling small loads of
wo ,>d, and, on account of his habits,
whs unable to support his family. He
thought that those who told him this
were try'tig to ‘’take hnu in, you
know/’ and received the little history
with exclamaiiona of “ Walker!’
“ Walker!” Finally, convinced of its
truth, he was prepared to credit any
thing, and strolling through Barclay
street, the other morning, observed
over a small shop the sign :
“ WILLIAM C BUY ANT, TAILOU.”
“ I say, now,’’ bo£ retnaiked to his
companion —a journalistic wag of
some note—“ do you tee that name
there ? It’d the tame as your favor
ite poet, the author of ‘ Thanntopsis.
It isn’t the same family, I dare say
now ?” ,
« Not only thej'samo family,” was
the*reply, “ but the same man.”
“It is, indeed ? Well, that is very
strange 1 I thought Mr. Bryant was
a wealthy journalist, the publisher of
one of the greatest newspapers here.”
•"tfo was,’’ answered the joker, J, «-
sow years ago. Then he owned the
greater'part of the Evening Po*t, Uut
he went up to Saratoga one «i turner,
got to drinking champagne and bet
ting on faro til! he became a bank
rupt, and was. for some time depend
ent on the charity of his friends.
» Really, that is very extraordinary,
now! I think I remember something
of your Mr. Bryant’s singular career.
Lot me see. After ho lost his fortune,
didn’t he go into tho ; negro minstrel
business ? Seems to me I have hoard
of Bryant’s minstrels. Devilish queer
that a groat poet should black his
face nnd play a tamboiine, now, isu’t
it.” .
“ Oh, no —not queer here ; nothing
is queer here in this country. Bryant
made a great deal of money with his
minstrels by dancing the Camptowu
hornpipe every night to crowded
houses.”
“ How did ho happen to be a tailor,
then ?’’
“ He tried to monopolize the pea
nut market by getting up a corner in
the trade, and, again losing every dol
lar he had, lie was forced to set up
this shop in oldar to make a liveli
hood.”
“A corner in peanuts? [Now I
don’t exactly understand that, you
know. Did he get mto the corner
himself, or did he get somebody else
iuto the corner ? But there’s no use
in my trying ti understand such a
bcnstly business. Its enough to lloor
a fellow completely, you know, to
think of a great poet getting peanuts
in a comer, and then 1 bursting up,
as youjsay, in America,tyou know.,’
“ Not many of our public men
would go into the peanut trade ; but
the minstrel;businesß is quite a favo
rite with our scholari and thinkers.
You’ve heard of Emerson, the Sage of
Concord, us he is often called, have
yon not?’’
“ Ralph Waldo Emerson? Oh,
ves ; he whom we name the American
Carlyle, you know. He Isn’t a negro
minstrel, is he ? ’ .
-Of <x»ursj he is. lies playing
bore, now, and when it comes to a
first-class banjo solo, Ralph Waldo
Emerson is mighty hard to beat.”
“ But really, now,” said the per
plexed Englishman, “I‘shouldn’t
thiuk a man who wrote thej ‘ English
Traits,’ wouldjbe forced to do that
sort, of thing. What’s tho use of
being a maiFof genius iu America, you
know, if you’have to earn your bread
and butter by playing a bloody banjo,
you kuow ? This is indeed au extra
ordinary country, and the more I
leara ‘about itThe less I
it”
MONOMANIA.
An extraordinary eaae of monoma
nia is related in a French exchange.
A well-dressed, educated gentleman
recently appeared before a magistrate
aud gave the following account of
himsell : “My uame is L .I am
a teacher in a college of the Depart
ment of Gers, and have come to pass
my vacation in my native town. I
come to’ask you to be good enough to
put me in some asylum until I can
overcomo a dangerous monomania
which possesses me. lam not mad,
but urn simply seized with an irresist
ible desire to strangle a child. Dur
ing the long nights, as I lay sleepless
ly in the dormitory of our college,
listening to the breathing of the
scholars confided to my care, I have
felt the most extraordinary sensa- j
tions. Often have I got up and goue i
towards the bed of oue of the boys j
with the full intention of strangling |
him to dent!', but at the morneut that
I was about to seize him by the neck,
I have succeeded, by appealing to my
reason and ail the resources ol my na
ture, iu avoiding the committal of
crime. I happily managed to ward
off the dreadful impulse until vacation.
But to-day I feel that I cau no longer
resist. Even iu coming here to you
I carefully avoided meeting any child,
for, had I done so, I must have killed
it.’’ At this moment a boy of four
teen years happened to be brought
before the magistrate to answer some
charge against him. At the sight of
the boy a mad glare seemed to dart
from the eyes of the mouomauiac as
he rushed forward to seize him, aud
was only prevented by the officers of
the law. The magistrate immediate
ly sent the uufortuuate man to a lu
natic asylum.
THE POLITICAL SKIES.
Gov. Curtin has identified himself
very fully with the Liberul movement
in Pennsylvania. Advices from that
State promise a large majority for
Buekalew. The Word says Pendleton
of Ohio, was at headquarters on
Thursday, and so sanguine of carrying
that State in October aud November,
,hat be has offered bis services in
Pennsylvania. The same paper says
Letters have been received from lu
liana, conveying the news that pools
vere sold in Indianapolis, on Monday
ast, at 2 to 1 that Hendricks would
ec jive 5,000 majority, and afterwards
rreater odds were offered, but with .10
■ukor*.
BULLOCK IN EXILE.
I Commissioner* from Grant visiting (he
great bond thief—preparing a white
washing repfjrt—Bullock to be
exonerated from all his
stupendous robberies,
etc.
Correspondence New Turk W©rid.
London. Ontahio, Sept 17.
Pei haps you are not aware ibat we
are favored here wilh the presence of
ex-Govcrnor Bullock, of Georgia, who
was not long since notorious forpock
etii g some $7,000,000 of the bonds of j
the State of Georgia. He i« now liv
ing in a very beautiful villa just out
side this city. Last week we were fa-!
vored with the company of two Wash- j
iiigton official*, who caller] on the ex- j
Governor. Os course their business is j
not known by the vulgar crowd. ]
Some two or three of our eminent law- !
yers find a magistrate were soon eu-!
gaged.
These \vorthies.are called a commis- j
sion, and are holding sessions now - j
Privacy as strict as the Geneva Tri- •
(rauul has so far been maintained, i
The Commission, so Dr ms it has pro- j
grossed, has been a review of the fi
nanciul affairs of Georgia. The exi
gencies of the Grant party seem to
have made a whitewashing of Bullock
and Blodgett’s financial schemes abso
lutely necessary to their success in the
coming Presidential diction. Gover
nor Bullock’s evidence, so far, has been
a review of the earlier part of his ca
reer. He affirms that none of the
missing bonds lmd been misapplied by
him; that he has never been beuefit
ted by the sale of the State or railroad
bouds in any way; that Bullock, Blod
gett & Cos. have been unjustly accused
of dishonesty and brutally pursued
and persecuted by the horrible Ku-
Klux. The ex-Goveruor affirms that
he is not a carpet-bagger, but has
been a good and loyal citizen of Geor
gia for tlie last thirty years. The
Grant agents are here under assumed
names. The evidence so far is all di
rectly opoosed to the reports given by
officials in Georgia. The reports from
Bullock’s few friends here is that the
result of the labors of the commission
here wifi be to exonerate Bullock from
alt participation in the ttupeudous
robberies that have disgraced his ad
ministration iu Georgia. He also af
firms that not a bond has been sold
that the Slate lots not been credited
wiih—he makes himself a picture of
injured innocence. The Grain party
must be sinking very low when it re
quires the affidavits of the carpet-bag
thieves and swindlers of the Southern
States, who have tied here with their
ill-gotten gains to save their precious
pel sons from tho Penitentiary. We
are favored with many of those poor
persecuted worthies who have left the
States to avoid a prison, but they come
with well-filled pockets, and spend
their stolen money most royally. We
are expecting a large increase of that
class of immigrants aft r your Novem
ber election.
The Governor lives in oue of tho
finest suburban residences about this
city. His house is furnished magnifi
cently; his stud is of the finest stock,
his turnouts unsurpassed, and he says j
he has concluded to make London his j
residence for the future.

SHARP AND SHARPER.
Pinchback am) Warmouth —A Race
of 2,400 Miles.— The New York Sun
tells a funny story upon these worth
ies. Both of them were iu New York
last Saturday—looking after each oth
er. The Louisiana Li-<t' oJ ' ltur °, so
called, had fixed up election law to
carry the Stai° /or Grant, which it was
supposed *vouUl be equal to ten thous
and majority for that functionary, no
matter how the votes were polled.
But Wurmouth, having quarrelled
with Grant, refused to sign this bill.
Now a bright thought entered the
heads of the Grantites. It, was plan
ned to smuggle off Pinchback iu si
lence aud secrecy to Louisiana in time
to allow him as Lieut. Governor and
Acting Governor in the absence ot
Wat mouth, to sign this bill and make
it a law, Wurmouth to the contrary
notwithstanding.
They went to work very slyly.
They advertised Pinchback to make a
Grant speech in Philadelphia last
Tuesday, but uuder cover of darkness
on Saturday night they shipped him
on an express train for New Orleans,
leaving his baggage and servant be
hind to keep np the delusion. But
twenty-four hours after, on Sunday
night, Warmouth heard of the trick
aud telegraphing for special trains
ahead, without regard to expense, ho
pushed after Pinchback at the rate of
a nett forty-five miles per hour, over
taking the regular train which had
Pinchback aboard a few stations this
side of New Orleans, and entering the
city on the same train and in the same
car with Pinch, who was surprised to
see him. Thus we see how a thor
ough training in tho Grant school,
will make negroes sharp—but whites
sharper.
The too profuse use of the title of
“ Colonel’’ elicits these pertinent re
marks from tho Philadelphia Post:
“ To call a man a ‘Colonel’ is to con
vey the idea that he is of a mild, meek
aud benevolent disposition. It is also
an evidence that he never was a sol
dier. For instance, we may recall
some of the Colonels of Philadelphia.
There are Colonels Forney, McClure,
McMicuael, Scott, Maun, Fitzgerald,
Phillips, Hiucken, Green, and Fritz.
Os what regiment ? And we might
mention many more gentlemen of
high standing, who have never been
iu the army, and cun only be called
‘Colonel* as a tribute to tbeir autipa
tby to blood. If every Colonel was a
soldier, the standing army in Phila
delphia would be a menace to our lib
erties. Their number is as great as it
was in San Francisco, to which John
Pncenix bears witness iu the following
story: “lhe steamboat was leaving
the wharf, and everybody was taking
leave of their frieuds—all but Phoeuix,
who had no friends to bid him fare-,
well. Ashamed of his loneliness, as
the boat sheered off he called out in a
loud voice, ‘Good-bye, Colonel!’ and,
to his great delight, every man on the
wuarf look off his hat aud shouted,
‘Colonel, good-bye!’ ”
A Queer Country is China.— A
country where roses have no fragrance
and women no peticoats; where the
laborer has no Sabbath aud the mag
istrate no sense of honor; where the
roads bear no vehicles aud the ships no
keels; where old men fly kites und the
needle points to the south; where the
place of honor is on the left hand and
the seat of intellect is in the stomach;
where to take off your hat is aud inso
lent gesture and to wear white gar
ments is mourning; which has a liter
ature without any alphabet and a lan
guage without a grammer.

HOW POLITICIANS WORK IT.
At a political meeting the speaker
and audience were very much dis
turbed by a man who constantly call
ed for Mr. Henry. Whenever anew
speaker came on, this man bawled
out, “ Mr. Henry, Henry, Henry 1 I
call for Mr. Henry.”
After several interruptions of this
kind at each speech, a young man as
cended the platform aud was soon
airing his eloquence in a magnilo
quent style, striking out powerfully
m his gestures, when the old cry was
heard for Mr. Henry.
Putting his hands to his mouth like
a speaking trumpet, this man was
bawling out at the top of his voice,
“ Mr. Henry ! Henry! Henry! I call
for Mr. Henry to make a speech.”
The chairman now rose, and re
marked that it would oblige the audi
ence if the gentleman would refrain
from aDy further calling for Mr. Hen
ry, as that gentleman was now speak
ing.
“ Is that Mr. Henry ?’’ said the dis
turber of the meeting. “ Thunder 1
that eau’c be Mr. Henry! Why,
that’s the little cuss that told me to
holler !*'
An Arkansas local soliloquizes thus:
“ Some of our exchanges are publish
ing as a curious item a statement to
the effect that a horse in lowa pulled
the plug out of the bunghole of a bar
rel for the purposes of slaking his
thirst. We do not see anything extra
ordiuaiy in the occurrence. Now, if
the horse had pulled the barrel out of
the bunghole and slaked its thirst with
the plug, or if the ban-el bad pulled
the bunghole out of the plug and slak
ed its tLirst with the horse, or if the
plug had pulled the horse out of the
barrel and tluked its thirst with the
bunghole, or if the bunghole hail pull
ed the thirst out of the horse and
slaked the plug with the barrel, or if
the barrel had palled the horse out of
the bunghole and plugged its thirst
with a slake, it might be worth while
to make some fuss over it.”
| SONG OF THE MYSTIC.
BY FATHER RYAN.
; I walk down the Valley of Silence-
Down the dim voiceless Valley
alone ;
| And I hear not the fall of a footstep
Around me—save God’s and my
own;
And the hush of my heart is as holy
Ajb hovers when angels have flown.
Long ago—l was weary of voices
W hose music my heart could not
Win;
Long ago—l was weary of noises;
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago—l was weary of places
VVhere I met but the Human—and
Sin.
I walked thro’ the world with the
worldly;
I craved what the world never gave;
And I said: “In the world, each ideal
That shines like a star on life’s wave
Is tossed on the shores of the Real,
And sleeps like a dream in the
grave.”
And still did I pine for the Perfect,
And still found the False with the
True;
I sought ’mid the Human for Heaven
But I caught a mere glimpse of its
Blue,
And I wept when the clouds of Mor
tal
Veiled even the glimpse from my
view*.
And I toiled on, heart-tired of Hu
man ;
Aud I moaned ’mid the masses of
men;
Till I knelt long at an Altar
And heard a voice call me—since
then
I walked down the Valley of Silence
That lies far beyond mortal ken.
Do you ask what I found in the Val
ley?
’Tis my trysting-plaee with the Di
vine;
And I fell at the feet of the Holy
And above me a voice said: “Be
Mine,”
And then rose from the depths of ray
spirit
An echo—“My heart shall Le
Thine.”
Do you ask how I live iu the Valley ?
I weep—and I dream—and I pray—
But my tears are as sweet as the dew
drops
That fall on the roses of May;
And my pray’r like a perfume from
censors,
Ascendeth to God night and day.
In the hush of the Valley of Silence
I dream all the songs that I sing:
And the music floats down the dim
valley
Till each flnds a word for a wing,
That to men, like the Dove of the
Deluge,
The message of Peace they may
bring.
But far on the deep there are billows
That never shall break ou the
beach;
And I have heard songs in the silence
That never shall float into speech;
Andi have had dreams in the Val
ley
Too lofty for language to reach.
And I have seen Thoughts in the
Valley—
Ah! me, how my spirit was stirred!
And they wear holy veils ou their
faces;
And their footsteps can scarcely be
heard
They pass through the Valley like
Virgins,
Too pure for the touch of a word.
Do you ask me the place of the Val
ley,
Ye hearts that are narrowed by
care?
ltlieth far away between mountains,
And God and his angels are there;
And one is the dark mount of Sorrow*,
And one—the bright mountain of
Prayer.
STATE AID-HOW A NORTH
ERN DEVELOPER BUILT A
RAILROAD IN ARKANSAS.
A correspondent of the Tribune,
writing from Arkansas about the
workings of carpet-bag government in
that State, tells of au enterprising nsau
who desired to obtain some of the
railroad bonds with the endorsement
of the State for his own benefit. He
therefore borrowed a quantity of rails
and proceeded to lay them upon a cer
tain incomplete railroad. When ten
miles had been laid he obtained a
quantity of bonds, in accordance with
law, aud he then proceeded to pull up
the rails and relay them upon the next
ten miles and received a second lot of
bouds. This process he repeated, un
til be had gone over and “ completed”
the entire hundred miles or so of the
road, by ten mile sections, when he
pulled up the rails for the last time
and returned them to the owners, and
went rejoicingly on his way, leaving
the road as he found it.

a camp-meeting recently held at the
North (at Sterling, Mass., ou the 23d
of August,) Elder Webster “ urged
upon every member of the Methodist
Church to go to the polls aud secure
the election of General Grant;” and
another divine Methodist said “if
Greeley wis elected the lives of car

THE AWARD FOR THE ALA
BAMA CLAIMS.
The Geneva Arbitration has closed
. its labors and awarded damages
against the Government of Great
Britain for an alleged want of due
diligence in not preventing the Con
federate cruisers which were built in
the kingdom during the war from
leaving her waters:
“The aggregate award is fifteen
i and one-half millions of dollars, of
which the amount awarded to indi
viduals is $11,500,000, and to the
Uuited States about $4,000,000, for ex
penses incurred in the pursuit of the
Alabama, Shenandoah and Florida.
On all questions of international im
portance the arbitrators were a unit.
On the money award Sir Alexander
Cock burn thought $15,000,000 too big
a sum for John Bull to pay to allay
the fiery patriotism of the United
States claimants; and therefore, did
j not sign the award, and Count Sclop
is virtually coincided with the gal
lant Admiral. This ends the ques
i tion.”

It is intimated in the Grant organs
in North Carolina that Governor
Caldwell, under instructions from
Washington, is prepared to retain his
place by the most indefensible revo

that United States troops are to be
used in his behalf. As Caldwell was
chosen by illegal votes, the Demo
crats and Conservatives are preparing
to contest the election in a legal, con
stitutional way before the Legisla
ture at its meeting in November. If
this is done, the Grantltes declare
that Governor Caldwell will pro
nounce the Legislature an illegal

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
The new educational law of Con

having charge of children, to bring
them up in honest calling and employ*
ment, and to send them to school at
least three months in each year
a penalty of five dollars a week for
each child. The select nos the

PAYMENT OF COST OF ADVER
TISEMENTS IN ADVANCE.
We beg leave to call the attention
of our county officers and others in
terested, to the following act passed
by the last Legislature, entitled an
act to require the payment of cost in
certain cases:
Section 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly, That from and a li
ter the passage of this act, no sheriff
or deputy sheriff in this State shall
be required to advertise tbe property
of any defendant in fi. fa. for sale un
til the cost of such advertisement
shall have been first paid by the
plaintiff in fi. fa., his agent or attor
ney ; provided, that when any such
party plaintiff, or his agent or attor
ney for him, shall make and file an
affidavit in writing, that owing to his
poverty he is unable to pay such cost,
then it shall be the duty of said sher
iff or his deputy to proceed as now
required by law.
