\'ou arc a "lariatu oM feller. You’re j
gol a heart—.» great big heart—and if
you were here l would exclaim in the
king wage of my uncle llilly, “ put your

are whipd at last, old Tammany. We
rebs are conquered, subdued and subju-
••ated, not by bayonets or bullets, but by
roiir friendly overtures, your manly
speeches. You and Sonny South Cox
and Company have captured us. taken us
pritt- ners, and we are now ns donitc as we
li’vebocn hostile DiJcnt 1 tell you that
we would meet you on half way grown ?
Dident we stretch forth our arms for sym
pathy, and wasent we about to turn away
rn defiance and despair for the want of it ?
“ We spread the nxiittic ofobtIrion orrr

spirit to accept tec of the Xorth have the
Heart to trailer you-the office* of kindness.
lie n i l help i/'ia /limit again the seed
whose perfect leu rex, flowers and fruits
ihah be yours with oars to enjoy."
Did. Mr. Cox say that old Tammany,
and did you clap your hands aud any
“ ongkhorc
“ lie are to-day arrayed against the.
contention concerning the black race, and
are looking forward to the white race, for
the we fare and greatness of our coun
try." And dident you say that, too, old
Tammany ? and dident all ha in?a jcwbilee
and exclaim “that’s it, them’s cm, that’s
the doktrine, the nigger may be a big fish,
but the white man is a whale.” And
(iidcut you all take another drink on that,
Mr. Tammany ? Wish some of us rebs had
been there, old fel, jest to have teclul
tumblers with you. Thank the Lord
that there are good men North of Dixey.
There’s a heap of ’em here Mr. Hall, and
their hearts are jnmpiil aud a huiupiu aud
a tli uni pi n as yours. Their hearts were
castles, and their buzzmns sitadels, but
you have taken ’em. Dont be alarmed,
dent reseed, dont back nuthin ; be kulm
r.ml screen, and we of the rebellious South
will wipe out the last spark of hatred to
such as you. We are now wipiu away
ike curs,* that were upon our lips. We
are risiu up from our humiliation, aud
like strung men are shukiti the dust from
our garment*. Think of it, Tammany.
What a glorious sight to see a brave peo
ple lifted up—a whole nation of white
bilks rckmi.siled. What spirit, what gust,
told you how to reach us? How did you
know wo was weak where we was strong,
in the same secret corner of our buzzums ?
You've got us, Tammany, and we’ll re
spond to you, tve'll reinloree you. We’ve
said some hard things, Mr. Hall; we’ve
tried to skorch and blister aud ezkorate,
but. you see we are goaded, gored by bulls
—Trumbull* and Republican bulls. They
punched us iu the cage and we growled.
They bellered and we pawed dirt. They
put tax under our saddles and wc kicked.
What else could we do ? Just think of
it, Tammany. Ruined and desolate, the
people in mourning and their homes in
ashes—ao luxeries, no comforts, no Clust-
mas w ith a cuss, no San*a Claus, no
nuthin. Could we lick the haud that
laid us low ? nary time—no never.—
While we was strugglin to rise out of the
Wreck, to breath the air above us, to take
an invoice and see if there was enough
Jell to live for, our enemies was a shoutin,
jiit him, kick biui, wadi him, smash him
ttgin.
We were at the bottom, Tammany
We didn’t know there was any lower deep,
hut our enemies were huutiu, and they
are still huutiu, some deeper pit to put us
in, aud some pendulum of l*ue to swing
aud cut us. Weil, we aint heathens, we’ve
been to mcetin, we’ve S'en niishunar.es,
we’ve got churches, and sennous, and
hymn books and prayers. We’ve got pio*
old men and wimilieu, and brave boys,
and maidens who are finished all the way
up like the corners of a temple, trod
bless ’em, Tammany, partikiler them last,
for in connection with them are centered
the hopes of posterity and the joys of our
life. We’ve all got hearts, old ’1 ammany
and tliar’s many a good Samaritan among
Hs who would’t pass you by and go over
oa the other side. We’ve got charity,
and yet we won’t elekt him who dident.
; That’s what's the matter, J shua, if I
1 may be allowed to apostrufizc you, you
j dident take no side at all. \ ou sav you
can take the test oath and get in. Well
I dont see how exactly. You run for
Governor in sixty-three, and you writ a
letter agin rekoustruction and compared

Bully for you, Joshua. Rut now about
that see saw bisuess, you spoke of, you
said in your speech that you was playin
sec-saw in politix, and if your end of the
plank went down in Georgy it would go
up in Washington, by which I suppose
you meant that you was ready to swap
ends just to suit your pekulinr seckuui
stance; and that’s what's the matter agin
Joshua. You have beenseesawin too long
aud changin ends too often. Twascnt uo
time to be swoppin bosses my friend.
Rut see here Joshua, Mr. Marshal may
be a clever reporter, but he treated you
badly. He’s left out a heap of your
speech. He aint had printed that sec-bc
saw figer at all, and it was I assure you a
most beautiful uietufor of speech. And
left has out them little sparks of Southern
patriotism which you omitted, llowsom-
ever, maybe these things would have been
in the way of the Washington and of the
sec saw. I'll tell you my friend, where
you wasted time iu your remarks. You
said if we diilcnt elekt you now wc might
want you hereafter, and then we couldent
et you. Dont worry yourself on our ak-
kouut. Dont cross the bridge before you
get to it. It will be time euuf, Joshua,
for you to refuse when we ax you. We
havetit been ruiiniu you down to give you
ffi.se, and we aint goin to. Do you seesaw
m your plank, and take care you dont
fall off. Your speech was sorter spiteful
Joshua, and it reduced to its gum would
read about thus : “ Roys Jm, a whale, J
am, 1m a prophet, and if you dont elekt
me to the Senate, I’ll go to Washington
and give you the devil.”
Well, wc didnt elekt him him, Mr.
Taniany, and the devil may come. In
la nil wage of l’atrick Henry, “ let them
come ”—I repeat it sir lot them come.”
There was another candidate, Mr. Hall,
whose name was Jecuis Johusiu. Well,
1 like Jecuis purty well. He dident run
nobody down, nor put on no airs. I
mout have voted for him if he had lived
in the state, and 1 hadent liked llcrshcl
better. The truth is, I was partial to
Jeeius for his “ old lang sine.” lie was
a powerful war horse in sixty-one. How
glorious he figured at the Columbus war
tueeltus. He encouraged the boys atna-
ziu, and he beat anybody gettin volun
teers. How proud we was of him that
night, when he aud Col. Situs made friends
on the stand, and the Colonel piud a se
cession cockade upon Jeem’s coat culiar.
lie then got inspired, and spoke for two
hours in words that breathed of ditches
a.el death, aud was full of the spirit of
’70. His watch words were “ Bennin
and secession,’’ and he voted for ent both.
He’ a whale for getting up a war. Alas !
he were sik semper then but Jie are sik
transit now. So mote it be, Mr. Tamma
ny, 1 cuuldciit help it. Howsumcver, it
dont matter much, I reckon, for we've
got anothi r Jounsiii, and they are a high
roostin family shore.
Now you under.-tund the trouble, Mr.
Tammany about this clektion. We wag

who could find their way to Washington
and back without a way-bill, and we could
ent find cm. They aint in the State, 1
tell you. So wc fell back u;>un the old

wont raise any row in partikler about it.
badly fitted, but generally clean; aud
the mending was remarkable: 1 used to
think the woman would do well to take
charge of a railway repair shop, if
she had gone into that line of business.
Well, this fellow came in and asked fur a
job just when I wanted hands, and had
some work to do that did not require much
skill or smartness; and he scented to bo
’’ just the man for it, g> 1 took him in.
1 soon found that l had got badly stuck ;
lor I could not get rid of him he was such
an inoffensive, honest, good-willing sort
of a fellow ; but totally destitute of smart
ness, and generally from a quarter to a
third drunk—never more, and seldom
loss. When we had hands enough, I
I had determined to get rid of him ; but
somehow when it came to telling him to
go, I could not help thinking of his un
lucky wife and children ; so l put it off
IVoin week to week, until I began to feel
that l was not doing my duty to the com
pany. So I made up my mind that lie
must go. Rut the poor devil looked so
honest—and I thought of his family—
that it struck me that 1 might make some
thing of him. I never thought much of
moral reformers; and had an idea that
most of them are visionaries, and never
.-an much good iu attempting to reform
workmen who are not plucky enough to
reform themselves; but I was stuck with
this fellow, and didn’t know what else to
do with him. So, instead of turning him
off, 1 told him to fit up a pair of links.
He looked frightened; but I cleared out
and left him to himself. The idea of
having such a job was new to him ; he
never had hoped to reach such an eleva
tion. Y’ou see, when I was an apprentice
I got waked up by accidentally fiuding
myself boss of the shop, all the journey
men having quit for want of pay, and
the proprietor being on a long spree; and
that sudden elevation made me do more
than double th'e work I had done; and
my natural inclination made me drive the
younger apprentices, so we did as much
work as before the journeymen quit; in
fact, we did a good business, so long as
the proprietor kept out ot the way. Well,
this fellow seemed to be waked up as
much as I had been, lie was at his
bench before time and after time; and
worked like a beaver in a freshet. I saw
that I had hit hint in the right spot. I
let him go on till lie had get one link fit
ted ; and then took a look at it. I was
rather surprised, I confess, to see that he
had done it so well that it would do to go
out of the shop. I looked, and looked,,
and turned it every way, uow and then
giving a glance at him ; and he looked as
if lie were on trial for life. Finally, 1
said:—‘Joe, I did not know that you
were such a ca/ital workman. 1 Said he :
* 1 hope to be a capltaler, workman, in
time.’ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘you can become a
capitalist workman, if you will.’ ‘Ah,
sir, you’re hard on a poor feller that hasn t,
had much edication I but I know it ain t
right to say capita/er—it s only a bad
habit I’ve got.’ ‘ Uh no,’ sa\l I, ‘you
never knew me to make reflections of that
sort. What l meant was that a good
workman and a hard worker like you
ought to become a capitalist.'
“‘Ah, sir, a poor chap like me, that
hain’t got no friends, has got an up-hill
road to travel.’
“ • There is a way round a hill,’ said I.
“ -1 should like to find it,’ said the poor
j the shop. Joe hailed me, and sqcczed
my hand terribly, and thanked me with
tears in his eyes for starting him on the
‘roundhill trank,’ as he always calls it.
lie is.a great tavoritein the shop: he was
offered a formanship; but lie refused it,
saying that he should make more money
if they would get a better foreman than
he could be : but .likes now and then
to boss a job, and is often sent on out-
iktor jobs. Rut what makes Joe most
happy is to be set on a piece of work that
requires first-rate skill; and really he docs
it well, not because he has much natural
capacity, blit because lie is thoroughly
faithful and works with a will. Joe
would have me take a Sunday dinner with
him. lie always goes to church with his
wife and children ; but wo bad a good
hot dinner, though later than usual.—
loo’s wife couldn't do enough for me:
the best of everything wasn’t good euougli
for me: she couldn't have treated me bet
ter if I had been a minister of the gospel.
She seemed to be perfectly happy ; and
her children, two fine girls and a boy, are
as intelligent and well behaved as you’ll
find; you would never suspect that they
were the children of a working niachanic,
if you saw them in the house of a man in
average society.
“Now, it is easier to tell another man
how to get ahead, than to go ahead your
self. There’s Joe, living in real comfort,
with all lie wants, and all his wife and
children want; and if he dies, or becomes
too infirm to work, they will have enuugli
to live on. And here am I, scooting
about; and if wc act smashed up before
we get to the end of this trip, and l lose
my hands, I shall be a beggar. If I bad
done as I advised him to do, Ishould now
have been worth three or four times as
much as he is. Now what can legislation
do for such chaps as 1 am ?”

I’ll Vote for the Other Man.
The following story is told of a Revolu
tionary soldier, who was running for Con
gress :
It appears that ho was opposed by a
much younger man, who had never “been
to the wars,” and it was the want of Rev
olutionary” to tell the people of the hard
ships lie bad endured.
Says he:
“Fellow-citizens, I have fought and
bled for my country—I helped whip the
British and Indians. I have slept on
the field of battle with no other covering
than the canopy of heaven. I have
walked over frozen ground till every foot
step was marked wit lx blood.”
J ust about that time, one of the “sov
ereigns” who had become very much
affected by this tale of woe, walks up in
front of the speaker, wiping the tears
from his eyes with the extremity of bis
coat-tail, and interrupting him says :
“Did you say that you had fought the
British aud the Injines?”
“Yes,” responded Revolutionary.
“Did you say that you had slept on
the ground while serving your country
without any kiver?”
“Yes, sir I did.”
“Did you say you had followed the
enemy of your country over frozen ground
till every footstep was covered with biood ?”
“Yes,” exultingly, replied the speaker.
“Well, then,” says the tearful “sov
ereign,” as he gave a sigh of painful emo
tion, “I'll be blamed if I don’t think
you've done enough for your country,
and I’ll vote fur the other man I”

No fewer than 1500 Frec-Mnsons held

They had a baby convention over in
Muscatine the other day. Fifteen moth

they voted on the prettiest. Each baby
got one vote, and no more. Every moth

A western soldier, who had been
through all the campaigns and shared in
many of the fierciest battles of the war,
writes from home that “ ho never realized
the horror of war till he got home to In

at-home dry goods elerk.”
Mrs. Emma Ilarning, better known as
Belle Boyd,” who recently gave to the
public two volitions of her adventures in
the Confederate and Federal States, in the
prisons aud camps of both sections, now
announces herself as the “ celebrated ex

in Loudon.
Genius, without common sense, is like

it wrong for Adam to live single when
there was not a woman upon earth, how
criminally guilty are old bachelors, with
the world full of pretty girls.
A flirt is like a dipper attached to a

“ An American oddity ” has been at
tempted in a fashionable saloon in Paris.
At a certain period of the evening, when
the dance is at the highest point of ex
citement, the orchestra suddenly plays a
few bars of “ Marlborough.” All engage
ments up to that time are thereby cancel
led, and a new ebasse for partners has to
be organized.
Tho Emperor of France, on the opening
of (he Chambcs, on the 2^d ult., made
this significant announcement: “ France
has no political .State prisoners in jail,
nor political exiles beyond her frontier.”
Such is this day the condition of “ des
potic France.”
AYhcn our civil war began, or a little-
later, many Americans converted their
property into gold, and sent it to England.
The amount of money thus thrown into
Engli.-h business is variously estimated—
the highest figures being 8500,000,000,
and the lowest SJ00,000,000.
