fierce rain was a good thing for New York,
for it cleaned the streets. The streets are
only cleaned by the rain. The city pays
an enormous sum every month for street
cleaning, but'nofne ofit is ever done. The
contractors appear promptly the first of
each month, draw their money, and go their
stay joyfully, and the city swims in filth,
till a great rain washes it out into the rivers.

Mr. Allen, in short, gave the thieves to
understand that he was after them, and
that he shOuld stay after them till he had

is improving rapidly. 7 All the banking-
houses that were not rotten have resumed;
money is accummulating and the wheels
are revolving with something like their old
rapidity. It transpires that the great
financiers who went down in the late finan-
cial storm, are not down as much as
was thought. It liasbeen published far
and wide that Vanderbilt'had lost 020,000,-
000 and was crippled. It is true he would
have lost a large sum, probably'not as
much as that, but enough to have hurt him
had he not absolutely owned all the stocks
he held. Owning them, their going up or
claim made no difference to him. But the
old fox did a very brilliant thing. He not
only held on to all that he had, but when
prices struck bottom (and he knew when
the bottom was meet), he commenced
buying all that offered. The rise on the
stocks he bought when they were at the
lowest, will make good all his losses, and
eventually leave him a large balance.

Whenever he is loaded down with .5:ch:
that is certain to go dewn, he immediately
goes to his nearest friends, and confiden-
tially advises them to buy that particular
stock, assuring them that a rise in it is cer-
tain. Then Daniel straightway sclis all
that he has of it and goes'h'is way rejoicing
He is about as unscrupulous as the shrewd
Kentuckian who had a very bad horse.

“Hundred dollars."
“Hundred dollars for that blind, spavined,
glaadered scare-crew! Who did ye take in
with it ?"
“Yc'd never guess in a week. ‘Twae

It is not ofrecord that Daniel ever an-
loaded bad stock on his mother, but he has
done quite as queer‘thi‘ngs. It is an ex.
pensive thing to be Drew’s friend.
Jay' Gould is, however, agent! case. It is
usual for such men to (have something Vla'i'd': -'
away, and Gould had it; but in making his
fight this time, he threw all his reserve in,
and it was eaten up. Gould is to-day a
poor man, but he will come up. There are
too many opportunities'for such men in
New York. '
THECHIEFJUSTICESHIP.
The appointment of Caleb Cashing to the
Chief-Justiceship excites great surprise in
the metropolis, for the Republicans of New
York wanted Evarts.‘ They are particu-
larly displeased with Cushing because of
his political record. It is a fact that can-
not be overlooked that Cushing was, before
the war, a virulent pro-slavery man';'dur~
ing the war a staunch. supporter of the
South, and a bitter opponent of the govern-
ment ; and after the war an opponent of all
the reconstruction measures, every one of
which he has pronounced unconstitutional
a thousand times. Consequently the Re-
publicans of New York are disappointed.
They cannot understand why such staunch
Republicans~ as Evarts, Hoar, Pierrcpont,
Waite and a score of others were pass-
ed over, and the most objections
his man, politically, in the country se-
lected. They lack confidence in him. He
is unstable as water, as tricky as a horse
jockey, and as unscrupulous as a Tammany
leader. The Republican and Independent
press of the city denounce the appointment;
it pleases only the Democratic papers. The
Mane, the ablest of the great dailies, is
especially severe upon it, while the Tim is
as bitter as wormwood.
Particularly do they object to Cashing,
because he will doubtless be called upon to
pass upon the reconstruction measures, the
'uuconstitutionalty of which he has so posi-
tively declared. The only comfort I can ex-
tract from the situation is Cashing’s age.
He is over seventy, and his funeral can not
be far distant. Death has its uses. What a
horrible thing it would be if such men were
immortal.

are making demonstrations. They have
held several mass meetings, their. demand
being that the city shall give them labor or
Thread. Much incendiary talk is heard, and
freely indulged in. But the movement has
excited but very little attention.' “The
hard-handed laborers,” who belch forth
torrents of red-hot indignation over the
wrongs of ‘the laboring m are old ac~
quaintanccs. They are the red-nosed
patriots who never did a stroke of work in
their lives, who make a precarious living
by gab, and who are ready to espouse any
“cause" that will furnish them whiskey and
bread—particularly whiskey. They can
get on very well without bread. These fel-
lows arc urging their “fellow-laborers” to
take by the strong hand what they want.
They stigmatize the holding of property as
a crime, and hold up as an enemy to man-
kind any man who wears a clean shirt.
' These arc the fellows who do the striking
for Tammany. They would strike against
Tammany just as readily if it would pay
better. I never see one of them without
thanking Heaven that capital punishment
has not been abolished in this State.
While labor is scarce in New York, at
this time, the real laboring men have work
-—enough at least to live upon. No man
who can work and will work is, without
something to do. Your excrescences, and
your merely ornamental men, are at a dis.
count, and bre having a hard time of it. I
is well. If they should all starve the
world would be better for it.
' At present writing the sun is out, and the
air is as balmy as a June morning. It is a
deliciously queer day for this latitude.

President Grant’s Ancestral Record.
A Hartford paper says that Mr. Heath, of
that city, has “recently been engaged in
hunting up President Grant's ancestral rec-
ord tracing it back to Matthew Grant, who
came from England in the ship Mary and
John, to Dorchcstcr, Mass, in 1630. Mr.
Heath has written the record from that
time until the present in the most elaborate
manner, with a fine steel pen, and is soon
to place it, handsomely framed, upon exhi-
bitiou in the capitol at Washington. Mr.
Heath traces the President’s ancestry
frOm 1680 as follows: Matthew Grant
removed to.Connecticut in 1630, and with
others formed the Windsor colony in 1631.
He died there in 1681. Matthew married in
1552, Priscilla, whose family name is not
given. From Matthew the succession is
traced through Samuel, his sou,Samuel J r.,
Noah, first second, and third, to Jesse Root
.Grant, of Pennsylvania, who removed to
Ohio in his youth, when he married, in 1821,
Hannah Simpson. Bis eldest son, U1 sscs
S.’Grant, was born April 27, 1822, at oint
Pleasant, Claremont county, To
that General Grant belongs to a military
family, it may be said that his great-grand-
father, Captain Noah, second, served in the
expedition against Crown Point, in the
year 1755, and he was killed‘therc. The
.Presidentsgrandfather Noah, third, served
with distinction in the Revolutionary war,
among the volunteers from Connecticut,
and in 1787 removed to Pennsylvania.

“Can you steer the mainmast down the
forecastle stairs?” asked a sea captain of a
new band. “ Yes, sir,I can,"if you will
stand below and coil it up." Captain didn't
catechise that man any more.
A young lady says that a gentleman
ought never to feel discouraged when the
“momentous question” is negatived by the
object of his choice, “tor in life, as in gram-
mar, we always decline before we conju-
gate."
Several Irishman were disputing one day
upon their own best points, when one said
in 'an aggressive manner, “Faith an’ I’m a

er to the ground.
The new Parisian style of looping ball
and party dresses is the most beautiful and
graceful introduced for a long time. The
style conveys the idea of drapery the sides

back and front made to hang very low and
in folds. '
The smartest newsboy yet is one at Wash-

every day.

A young lady in Jefl‘ersonville was recent-
ly made the victim of a heartless practical
joke. She was almost overwhelmed with
confusion by the discover that she had
been walking the street wit a placard pin-
ned to the back of her dress upon which
was printed, “2,000 children wanted.”
The Kingston (N. Y.) Freeman says:
" A mean girl in school is more damaging

THE “ BAR—TEAM.”
The Bartram Sewin g Machine-is the latest pruduc
tion of inventive genius. It has the
o In ' o ‘
Semplocety .
of the Wilcox a Glbbs',’b'ut makes theioek-stitch
with a revolving- shuttle, which. revolving on its
carrier, is subject to‘no_wear,'and requires no oilinrr
by which the‘thread would otherwise be soiled; and
the wound friction of- a “r_ace”is avoided. This
style of shuttle moves with greater . .
Rapidfittl
,and car a of operation making one-thirdmorestt‘tehee
n-vvith the same motion of the foot, than any other
machine.
Ease.
It is the easiest running of the family of Sewing
can operate .the Bartram witheutfatigne.
Best Needle.
It. has the , best .‘needle in the world—short and
straighttwith a fist shank. By simply, putting it .up
in the needle bar as far as it will go. it is set right
and never has to be varied for thick or thin goods.-
‘ Durabeloty.
It is, without question. the most durable machine
in thema‘rket, 'a’s it is so simply constructed (having
but five working parts); that friction Is reduced to
the lowest ossrble degree. All the wearing parts
are made 0 the finest steel,andbeautifullyfinished.
. . .
General Efi‘icocncy.
The inventor, (Mr. W. B. Bartram) has kept one
Important featurein view, viz.,-that it should be so
constructed as not to limit» its usefulness to any
specialty of work, but to be adapted to both light
Ind heavy sewing equally well.
W 0 Invite
the public to call at the agenc and examine this
new and wonderful Machine, an allow the agent to
prove all and more than we have said of the merits
of the “ Baa-ram.”

excellent'thatwe quote the whole of it for

“Write upon pages of a single size,
Cross all your 1’s and neatly dot your i’s,
On one side only let your lines be seen

Correct-yes, correct—all that you write,
And let your ink beblack, your paper white ;
For spongy foolseap of a muddy blue ,
Betrays a mind of the same dismal hue.
Punctuate carefully, for on this score
Nothing proclaims the practiced writer more
Then send it off, and lest it merit lack,
Inclose the postage stamps to send it back.
But first pay all the postage on it too,
For editors look black on six cents due,
And murmer as they run the effusion o’er,
‘A shabby fellow and a wretched bore 1’
Yet ere it goes, take of a copy clean—
Poets should own 3 copying machine;
Little they know the time that’s spent and

In hunting verses vanished—who knows
where!
Bear this in mind, observe it to the end,
And you shall make the editor your friend.

“I Would Ens Sense Oyster-o.”
There is a wierd story of an oyster-cater,
which still floats around the wharves at Bal-
timore, where oyster boats do congregate.
One morning, ’twas years ago, the sloop
Martha Mary came from some oyster bed on
the Chesapeake, laden gunnel deep with
prime oysters, and was moored safely along-
side- of a Baltimore wharf. The skipper,
pleased with the prospect of the voyage,
lounged on the wharf, awaiting a customer. .
There came to this captain a lean, lank,
ind sallow faced man, who said, with a cav.
crnous voice, “I would eat some oysters."
“Plenty on board there i” was the bluff
reply.
“But. I would pay for what I cut,” inter-
posed the stranger.
“All, right, go aboard: eat your fill for a
quarter,” cheerily replied the skipper, for in
those early times oysters were worth not
more than fifteen cents a bushel.
"Willingly," said thc'thin man, producing
with aIncrity the .old Spanish quarter with
the pillars on it, the coin Of that time, and
drawing a large rusty oyster knife from his
pocket. Then the thin man opened the
batch of the little vessel and dived below.
The captain went to his breakfast”, The
meal over, he returned to‘his sloop. Below
he heard the measured clink of an oyster
_ ' knife. He thoughtllittle about it, only said,
. “fie.hasagooclssretitc.” Oral ‘ . ‘
rapid of sale that day,ns,two __re-oyster
smacks had come in, andfpnrchasers were.
slack. “Makes no matter,” said the captain;
“the weather is cold, themloysters is sound,
and they will keep in prime order. for a
week.” ' .
The captain went to dinner. Againho
paced his'littlc vessel’s deck, and still heard
the monotonous, incessant “ciink,” “clink,”
from below, working away with mechanical
regularity. Anxiously, then, that captain
{strode along, and was full of fear. As the
sun set, still the clin‘k of the oyster knife .
was heard. In terror the captain fled from
his smack. Next morning early, as be ap-
proached the wharf, still his afi'righted‘ear
heard the clink. He could stand it no longer.
Rushing below, scattering aside whole heaps
of empty shells, he found the lean, huh and
cadaverous man still opening away at the
very bottom of the vessel.
“They are good," said the cadaverous
mun, swallowing with artistic flirt a singular-
ly large oyster, “but scarce as salty as I like
’em; et‘ I'hud acracker, or just a dash of
vinegar, mebbe I might have engyed ' ’em
more. See here, Capting, it’s just a case of
knife with me. This ’erc oyster knife,” and
he held up the attenuated blade, worn now,
to the size of a pen knife, “wasn’t good steel
or I might have had my fill.“ and saying
thishe slowly and deliberately climbed up the
hatchway, and still Iank and lean disappear-
ed in the distance.
. In 0111011 In Strength.
I am quite ashamed to take people into
my garden and have them notice the ab-
sence of onions. It is very marked. In
onion is strength;and a, garden without it
lacks flavor. The onion in its satin wrap~
pings is among the most beautiful of veget.
ables, and is the only one that represents
the essence of things. It can almost be
said to have a soul. You take ofi' coat after
coat, and the oniOn is still there; and, when
the last one is removed, who dare as that
the onion itself is destroyed, thongI you
can weep over its departed spirit ? know
that there is supposed to be a prejudice
against the onion,bnt I think there is rather
a cowardice in regard to it.
I doubt not that all men and women love
the onion ; but few confess their love.‘ .Af.
fection for it is concealed. Good New
Englanders are as shy of owning it as the
are of talking about religion. Some peop e
have days on which they eat onion—what
you-might call “retreats,” or their “Thurs-
days.” The act is in the nature of a relig-
ions ceremony, an Eleusinian mystery; not
a breath of it must he get abroad.’ On that
day they see no company; they deny the
kiss of greeting to the dearest friend;
they retire within themselves and hold
communion with one of the most pungent
and penetrating manifestations of the moral
vegetable World. Happy is said to be the
family which can' eat onions together.
They are for the time being separate. from
the world, and have a harmony of aspira-
tion There is a hint here for the reformers.
Let them become apostles of the onion ; let
them eat and preach it to their fellows, and
circulate tracts of it in theform ofsccds.
In the onion is the, hope of nogersal
