The raft is composed of inflated Indiarubber tabes which, 'when hot filled with air, fold up in a comparatively small compass, but when inflated will cany all the persons that can crowd on it. The raft on which Captain Meiks performed liis last voyage was twenty-five feet long by eighteen wide. He then had two men with him. A canvass tent was erected on the raft,' and three crossed 'the, Atlantic,' arriving safely in Eng land in forty days. Captain Meiks is 'having another life^raft -made fifteen feet long and twelve feet wide on which he intends going to Europe, accom panied only by a hoy.

The Presi dent had sent to the Emperor of Aus tria a copy of his book “What I know,” eta, with-his autograph upon a fly leaf. The Emperor mistook the sig nature for a caricature of the Austrian ! eagle, and he readily-joined the war against the United States; -while France was provoked to the Same aetby the fact than when the Eren'ch Minister came to call upon Mr. Greeley to pre sent his credentials, the President who was writing an editorial at the time, not comprehending the French lan guage, mistook the ambassador for a beggar, and without looking up hand ed Him a quarter and an order for. a dean shirt, andsaid tohim, “Go West, young man—go West” PRESIDENT GREED EV AND CABINET HANGED. So all these nations joined in mak- - ibg war upon the United States. They swooped down upon our coasts and landed without opposition, for. those exposed portions of our unhappy country were absolutely deserted. The President was afraid to call away the army from Kansas at first, for fear the outraged people upon the plains would come East in spite of him. But at last he did summon the army to his aid, and-it moved to meet the enemy. It was too late. Before the troops reached Cincinnati the foreigners had seized Washington and all the country east of the Ohio, and had hung the President, the Cabinet; "and every member of Congress.

An outraged husband at Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, where female suf frage and tiie politicaland social ap purtenances thereto appertaining are recognized, denounces the. female jury business through the Cheyenne Head er, and in justification offers a perti nent scrap from his domestic history. His wife was summoned and impan- neled as a juror in an important cose. When night came, the case not Bring concluded, the husband applied to the court to have his wife sent home, as there were several-small children there requiring her attention—the smallest; in fact, being in a starving condition, owing to the fact that it had not been habituated to the use of the bottle.— Rut the husband’s request was denied. The judge said the jury could not be separated. Thehusband then request ed permission to send- the infant to the mother. This, was also refused, on the ground that the law does not permit, a thirteenth person in .a jury room, and. there is no statute tor show that an infant in arms is not a person” within the. intent and meaning of the law.

I undertake the task with a heavy -heart, for when I revert to that terrible time I cannot help contrasting our proud condition up to that fatal year -with the humiliating position oc cupied now by the American people. The story is a short one. In the fall of 1872 Horace Greeley, the editor of a newspaper in New York, was elected President of the United States. The people voted for him because they thought he was an honest man. And so he was. But he was also vain and weak, he entertained certain fanatical and preposterous notions—about agri cultural matters, for instance—which it was determined to force upon the people at all hazards and despite all opposition. He believed, among other things, that every man ought to go to the West to earn-his bread, and long before he was chosen Presidenthe used to advise eveiybody to move -to that region, as a cure for all disasters that Our means are ample to ac commodate on time. learned the next day that the trial was likely to last a week, he straightway proceeded to employ, the best looking- housekeeper and cook in the county.
