liacou and Greens.
I havfr lived long enough to be rarely mistaken,
And had my full share of Ife’s chan goble
scenes;
And my woes have been solaced by good greens
and bacon, <
And my joys have L en doubled by bacon and
greens.
With a thrill of remembrance e’en now they
awaxen
Os childhood’s gay morning and youth’s mer
ry scenes—
When each day we had greens and a plate full of
bacon.
And the next we had bacon and a platefull of
greens.
Ah! well I remember,when sad and forsaken,
Hear wrung by the scorn of a-raiss in hor
teens.
How I fled from her sight to my loved greens
bacon.
And forgot my despair over bacon and greens.
When the banks refused specie, and credit was
shaken,
I shared in the wreck and was ruined in
means;
Mv friends all declared that had I not saved my
bacon,
But I lived, for I still had my bacon and
greens.
If some fairy a grant of three wishes could make
one
So worthless as I, and so laden with sin,
I’d wish all greens in the world, then the bacon*
Then wish for a little more bacon and greens.
Oh ! there is a charm in this dish,rightly taken,
Which from custards and jellies an epicure
weans;
Stick your fork in the fat, wrap your greens
round the bacon.
And you’ll vow there’s no dish like goood
bacon and greens.

‘ Yes. sir,” said the policeman, “we
officers of the law see many strange
sights, and have many strange adven
tures in the discharge of our doty.”
A parcel of us were sitting around
the stove at the Railroad Depot, wait
ing for the down train, and had gotten
into conversation with the policeman
on duty at the station. He was a good
Matur’d, (rank fellow, and did not seem
unwilling to make himself agreeable.
“Dell.” said I, “I’ll warrant me you
have some good story just on the end of
your tongue. So come, now, let us
have it.”
He, laughed, and replied, good hu
moredly.—
“Yes, sir, you are right. I "was
thinking, when you spoke, of an occur
pence that came under my observation
only a few days ago, and which seemed
to me one of the strangest things I ever
knew.
“Let us hear it” chorussed the group,
add the officer, nothing loth to relate
the stury, at once commenced : '
“\y V H, I an, afraid, gentlemen,” he
said, "it will be rather a dry story to
you, as you don’t q! course take a*
much interest in these matters as a man
of my profession does. Indeed, it is
cot to be expected of you, who only
hear of a case of crime one day to for
get it the next. We, however, study
these things closely, and try to draw
from them ideas and experience which
will enable us to detect or prevent,
similar occurrences.
“Sixte2fi yeafs ttgo there was a kind
of rough tavern down hi the lower part
Os the CitJ’i which was intended for
sailors and steerage passengers. No re
spectable person ever thought of step
ping there,, and the house had scarcely
custom enough to keep it going. The
tavern was built just on the edge of the
water, and its place is now occupied by
a warehouse. Its back windows opened
right on the harbor, so that anything
dropped from them would fall into the
water.”
"The man who kept this tavern was
a rough, fierce looking follow of about
forty He had once been a sailor, and
his dark, forbidding aspact accorded
well with his general reput tion. He
was well-known at the police-court,
where he had often been charged with
criminal offences: but by a strange and
uniform good fortune he had always
contrived to escape punishment.
“IFell, gentlemen, not to make my
story too long, sixteen years ago there
arrived from California a packet ship,
which brought, among others, two men
who had returned from the diggings.
She came in so late at night that she
simply dropped anchor up the harbor
without trying to get up to her wharf
in the darkness. The two men I have,
spoken of being very anxious to get on!
’shore, prevailed on the captain to laud
j them, and it so happened that he put
them right ashore at Jona-s Halsey’s
tavern. It was midnight, and Halsey
was just closing his house when the
men came to him and asked for lodgings
until the morning. In a few minutes
Halsev, who was a good questioner,
gained from them that they had just re
turned from the gold regions. In reply
to his question as to whether they had
been successful, they laughed and said
‘not very,’ which to any man of sense
would have been proof that they had
plenty of cash with them.
"Halsey understood it to be so, and
without more words he showed his
guests to their chamber, which was in
the rear of the buildin r, and directly
over the water. After this Halsey
went, back to his bar. and after sitting
(or a long time in silent thought, closed
the door and put out the lights.
“The two men went to bed as soon
as they were shown to their room. It
might have been an hour or
more afterwards when one ot them was
aroused by a heavy noise- Looking up,
he saw the landlord striking his com
panion a heavy blow with an axe.
Springing up lie tried to seize his knife
but before lie could do so. Halsey, who
was a powerful man, clutched him with
a death grip, ard wrenched the knife
from him, A fierce struggle ensued,
the stranger being gradually forced back
to the window. Fim rally Halsey
stuck the knife in his side with a terri
ble blow, the hot blood spurting all
over him, and then hurling the man
bat k threw him out of the window,
which chanced to be raised. In another
instant his companion, who had been
killed by the first blow of the axe, was
(lung into the v ater also. The tide
was running out rapidly, and Halsey
was sure the bodies would be carried
out with it.
“The men had foolishly carried their
money on their persons, and when they
went to bed had deposited it under
ts eii pillows. It amounted to mor
than twenty thousand dollars, and of
course fell into the murderer's posses
sion.
“The next, morning Halsey was miss
ing. No one but himself had known
anything of the arrival of his unfor
tunate guests, and the blood upon the
floor and window-sill was a great mys
tery. At, last, however, we came to
believe that Halsey had been murdered
in this room by some unknown party,
and thrown into the water.
“1 was finite a young chap at that
time, and had not then joined the police
force, but the afiair made a deep im
precision on me. I had frequently seen
Halsey, and I Anew him well by sight
As the time passed on, however, I for
got the affair, ind would not have re
membered it had it not been brought to
mind in a strange way.
“A few days ago a man came in here
to wait for the train. He was such a
ra-cally looking fellow that he at once
attracted my attention. Hisfiice seem
ed very familiar, too. I tried to think
where I had seen him, but for the life of
me I could not remember.
“Just then I ha; pened to look up,
and saw a can standing iu the doorway,
looking at my man with a most startled
and savage expression. He said noth
ing, however, but came and sat down
by the stove, with his back turned to
wards the man I had been watching.
As he did so he uttered an exclamation
of pain.
“‘Anything wrong, sir?’ I asked.
“‘jYo, he replied. •] still suffer from
a wound in the breast which I received
in this city sixteen years ago.’
"I saw the first man start and turn
qui kly towards the speaker. He
could not sea him, however, but al
though the new-comer had his back to
my man I could see that he was watch
ing him closely. In an instant it flash
ed across my mind that my man was
Jonas Halsey. I kept my eoolness,
however, and asked, as carelessly as I
could,—
“‘Ah! how was that?’
“ ‘Well, you see,’ said the stranger,
and I could see that he was still watch
ing Halsey closely, ‘sixteen years ago I
landed here in company with a friend.
He had just come back to California,
where we had made a great deal of
money, alrid, like fools, we had it all
with us. We put up for the night at a
sailor’s tavern on the shore, intending
to start for an inland town the next day.
During the night I was aroused by a
noise, and jumped up to find the land
lord murdering my companion. I tried
to defend myself, but after a struggle
he stabbed me and threw me out of the
window into the watc The tide car-
ried me out into the harbor, where I
was picked up by a brig and nursed
kindly until I was able to go about.
I’ve been looking for that landlord ever
since.’
".‘Do you think you’ll ever catch
hun /’ 1 asked, and for the life of me T
couldn’t keep down my excitement.
“\Vith the rapidity of light the
stranger wheeled around, springing to
his feet,.and faced Halsey. Laying his
hand on his shoulder he said cooly ,
‘I have found him. This is the inun.
Arrest him, officer.’
"Halsey s mined completely stunned.
The shock was so sudden and unexpect
ed that it deprived him of all power of
resistance. I secured him while lie was
in this condition, and soon had him at
tlie station house. The next day he
confessed tile whole tiling. He will be
tried at the next court, and I suppose
will be hung, us he deserves.’
Just then the whistle of our train
called us to the platform, and wo hur
ried oH to the cars.
Tlie Liuuaties of History.
Without going to the absurd length,
which tunny now do, of attributing all
crime to insanity, and thus acquitting
modern criminals on that absorb [ilea,
we yet believe a long possession of des
potic power will in the end induce
madness ; and it is, therefore, a natural
result that the great monurehs and ru
lers who have acted like monsters, have
become insane through the wicked flat
tery and cowardice of their subjects.
No nation is oppressed by a tyrant, that
has not deserved it. //’lien we per
ceive the evil effects which indulging
chiidreu has upon them, we must allow
its influence upon tlie human heart.
and so much tlie greater the effect oil
men, when bowed down to by mil
lions.
Much of the tyranny and despotism
oi the world lias been the result of cere
bral disease, and, if justice had been
done, not a lew of the rulers of history
would have been confined in asylums
lor the insane.
Caligula, the beastly /{oinan Emper
or, was certainly a lunatic. His uc-,
eesesiou to tlie throne was greeted with
joy by the Roman people, and he after
ward become so popular by the gener
ous and conciliatory acts of his reign
tout, w it'ii lie w; a att: eked with sick
ness, mi rilices were ottered in the tem
ples for his recovery. His bruin 1111-
tloubtedly became diseas, and during his
sickness, lor Irom that time he became
a changed mail. The remaining four
yturs ol Ins reign were disgraced by
some of the most unnatural and capri
cious tyranny recorded in history. He
put to death a large number of ins sen
ators. Every ten days he delivered
human victims to be devoured by wild
beasts, and jocosely termed this horrid
act ‘clearing bis account.’ He caused
divine honors to be ; aid to himself, m
a telnj le erected expressly lor that pur
pose, and under the superintendence ol
priests of Ins own appointing, lie invit
ed Ins favorite horse, lucitatus, to dine
at the royal table, wlituelie was fed on
gilded oats, and drank from jeweled
goblets; and bul lor his premature
death, tins animal would have beeti
raised to the consulship. In a more en
lighten'd and liberal age, Caligula
would have been sent to an insane re
treat. The Romans endured his cruel
ty lor four yeais. and then put him to
death by a well-planned and successful
conspiracy.
The career of Nero was something
like tiiet of i aligula. In youth he was
notably clever, kindly and amible. and
tor the first year of his leign lie ruled
with clemency and justice. He was at
this time so harassed by the attempts
ol his mother to wrest the scepter from
Ins bands, that his brain probably be
became disordered, and he was meta
morphosed into a lyrant. 110 poison
ed Ins own brother at a least to which
lie had invited him. 11 is mother, Agip
piiia, he murdered in her own bed. He
relentlessly persecuted the Christians
on the [ilea that they set lire to Rome,
lie caused to be executed Lucan, the
[met, and Seneca, the philosopher, and
kicked his own wife to death. JVor
was his insanity manifested by acts of
cruelty alone, 110 had a silly rage for
music, and in his morbid ambition to
be thought the greatest singer of the
world, he appeared on the stage in the
character of an operatic performer.
Domitian, Heliogabalus, and possibly
some of the Consuls of Rome, must
have been of unsound mind. Domitian
liAe Caligula and Nero, began to reign
with generosity ; and under the pres
sures and worrying of Government be
developed into a monster. Heliogabalus
made hie horse consul, appointed a sen-

ate of women, forced the Romas to
worship a black stone, and prepared
golden swords and cords of silk and
gold, in order to put. an end to his own
i life when he fit. All these were
j the freaks of a madman.
I Alexander the Great behaved like a
i lunatic in the latter part of his reign,
and the supposition is plausible that, if
! he had survived a few years longer, he
might have become a most impiicable
and capricious tyrant. From being
very abstemious. In; gave himself up to
debauchery. His lust for power became
a disease, and he strove for gigantic im
possibilities.
Robespierre and some other leaders
in the French revolution were probably
made more or less insane by the ezeiting
events in which they took part. It is
certain that Robespierre was naturally
Aind-heurted and considerate, for he be
gan life by endeavoring to procure the
abolition of capita! punishment
This Dosi stic Relations of the
Thkee Uue'T Editoiis. i’he New
York correspondent ot the Augusta
Constitutionalist calls attention to the
fact that the editors of three great
dai’ies of that city died as few men
w ish to die. lie says :
Mr, Raymond, of the Times, was
found soon after midnight in the hall of
his dwelling, prostrated with apoplexy,
and never spoke more; his wile and
older children far from him, and he
buried by bis business aud political as
sociates. Mr. Bennett, although an
old man. bad been entirely deserted by
every one of his kith and kin, and in his
last moments was ministered to only by
his faithful servants, in the selection of
which lie was always, fortunate Mr.
Greeley died as has been narrated.
Besides, they were unfortunate in their
mar. iage relations. Mr. Greeley and
t.is wile had lived apart for ti 1 teen years;
and for years before the death of their
hush i(ids, Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Ray
mond had lived in Europe. 1 believe
however, that tio estrangement had ever
taken place between Mr. and Mrs. Ben
nett ; it was simply indifference ; their
tastes and habits of thought were in op
posite directions, and they lollowed
them.
The largest brewery in the woild is
that of Barclay, Perkins & Cos., of Lon
don. They use annually 18,000 bales
of hops, and make one million barrels
of a'e and porter. Their p'uce covers
twelve acres in the heart of London.for
which they recently refused the sum of
$20,000,000 per acie. Barclay, Perkins
& Cos., use nine thousand pounds of
hops and twelve thousand live hundred
bushels of malt daily. They make one
thousand seven hundred arid sixty bar
rels at a brewing. Their porter is stow
ed n each holding,from fifteen hundred
to three thousand barrels! IFliy thev
have seven casks, called the ‘seven sis
ters,’ which hold thirty-six hundred bar
rels each. They are fifty feet high and
thirty feet in diameter. Their draft
horses are the marvel of all London.
They have one hundred and sixtv-two
of the splendid nineteen hand horses,
s. ven hundred dollars apiece. They are
so heuvyas to wear out an inch tiiick
horse shoe in one or two week*.
The popular vote of the United
States may bo pretty nearly approxi
mated in the following estimate:
Whites for Greeley 3,300,000
IFliites for Grant 2,900,000
White majority for Greeley 400,000
tVegroes for Grant 959,000
Negroes for Greeley 50,000
iVegro majority for Grant 900,000
Grant’s majority, white and negro
combined, is 500,000- The total vote
is fully 7,200,000- Grant’s majority on
this is about seven per cent In other
words, he has 100 votes to Greeley’s
93- This is the extent of the tremend
ous sweep we hear so much about.—
