At tho Contra! market yesce day a couple of colored men got into a dispute as to the length of tituo between the landing of Noah’s Ark and the day he left it, and in a short time each one was mad enough to light. “I say it war sixty days befo’ No’ got out o' dat ark.’' “An' I say it war only twenty days.” “Yok lie* sah !” ‘Shoo, now, but what’s dis row ’bout?’ ’ asked an old bald-bead who came i around the corner. The question was explained, and he looked from one to tho other and re¬ plied: dead Jist ‘Boaf of you am wrong. hold on a minit.’ He put down hia brush, felt in hie pockets, aud contmued: ‘Nuffiu' like ktepin' posted on time tables.

Figures never lie. A Louisville lawyer came very near sweating that he would tell the truth. He wanted to be admitted to the bar and having passed a satisfactory ex¬ amination tho court told the clerk to ewe; r him in Tho clerk commenced, ‘ You do solemnly swear to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but tho truth”—and had gotten that far when the court yelled out: -‘Hold on, there.

After the congregation in th« Brook¬ lyn Tabernacle, on tbe morning of the i!5th instant, had sung, “My Country, ’tis of Tbue,” Dr. Talmage announced his text from Isaiah lxii., 41—‘‘Thy land shall be 'married.'’ Hu said; 1 pioposs to name some of tho suitors who arc claiming the' hand of this Hopublic. In the first place there is a greedy, all grasping monster who comws in as suit¬ or soekiug the hand of this Kopublic, and that monster is monopoly. His sceptre is made out of tho iron of the rail track and tho iron of telegraphy. He does everything for his own advan¬ tage and for the robbery of the people. Things have gone on from bad to worse, j until in the three Legisla'ures of New ; Y’ork, New Jersy and Pennsylvania for i the thing. most If part monopoly decides law every | monopoly opposes a it is rejected. Monopoly stands in the rail ■road depot putting into bis pockets in one year $200.000,000 in excess of all reasonable charges for service. Muu . | opoly holds in us oue hand the sienna ! power of locomotion, and in the other I electricity of swift communication. Mo- , iRipoly has tho Republican party in oik? | pocket and the Democratic party in the < other pocket. Monopoly decides noun I nations aud elections—city elections, ! State elections, national elections. With ! bribes it takes Hie votes of Istgi Tutors, giving them free passes, givingappolnt ments to needy relatives of Imitative positions employing them as attorneys if they are lawyers, carrying their goods j a large per centago loss it they are merchants, and if it finds incase very stubborn as well as very important, puts dowa before him the hard cash of bribery. A LEGISLATURE BOUGHT GimUGHT. But monopoly is no; easily caught now and captured and arrested as when, during the term of Mr. Buchanan, the Legislative committee in one of our States explored and expised the man tier in which a certain railway company had obtained a donation of public land | It was fouud out that thirteen «f ilie : OLD Senators of them, that State sixty members i«eoiv«d $175,-j of among tho Legislature of that Stale received be-i tween $6,000 and $10,00(3 each, the ■ Governor of that State received $.10 000 | j uis clerk received $5(100, the Lieuten -j ! ant Gotorno received $10 000, all the i j pUft clerks each, of the while Legislature $50,000 received divided $5,- j were ! among the lobby agents. That thing • ! on a larger oi a smaller scale is ad the | ! tune Union, going on in some is of the blundering! States of j the but it not so i as it used to bo, and threfore not so ca- j i sily exposed or at rested. I toll you 1 that the overshadowing curse of the j United States to-day is monopoly. Itj puts its hand on every bushel of wheat, upou every sack of Salt, upon every ton of coal, and every man, woman and child iu tho United States fools the touch of that moneyed dospo ism. I rejoice that in twenty four Status of the Uuion already auti-mouopoly leagues have been established. God spued them in the work of liberation! I wish that this Question might bo tho ques¬ tion ofihe uext Fresidentialieloclion, tor ba'woou this and that limo we can com¬ pel the political parties to recognize it in their platforms. I havo nothing to say against capitalists. A man has a right to make all the money he can make hones:ly. I bavo nothing to say j against corporations as such. With u them no great entetpriso would be; possible; but wnat 1 do say is that tho 1 same principles are to be applied to the i poorest man and the p a m st laborer ! What is wrong for me is wroug for the 1 Vanderbilts aud the Goulds and elsva- ' ted railway companies of New York and Brooklyn. Monopoly iu England j has ground hundreds of thousands of her best people into sami starvation, and iu Ireland hae driven multitudinous talents almost to tuauues*, and in the United States proposes to taka the wealth of fifty or sixty millions of peo¬ ple and put it in a fow silken wallets. Monopoly, brazen faced, iron fingered, vulture hearted monopoly, proposes his hand, offers his hand to this Republic. Let the millions of tho people—North, South, East and West—forbid tho bans of tbat marriage, forbid them at the ballet box, forbid them by great organ inzations, forbid them by the overwhol- J tning sentiment of an outraged nation, I forbid them by tbe protest of tho Chut oh ! of God, forbid them by prayer to high heaven, that Herod shall not havo this Abigail, A fascinating young lady at a party was asked if she ever road Shakes¬ peare? “Uf course I have.
