~. ._ . Tm: COACHING 01.03., ,
It. is a‘terrible thing to have too muchmon-
ey. Indeed, I‘m” not certain that it is not bet:
ter to have toolittle. The last agony of young
New YOrk, with t00_much money, is coach-
ing. What is coaching? A very simple thing.
Men with fine horses who think-there is com.
fort in the old-fashioned stage coach, went to
England and had built for them old-fashioned
stage coaches—just such, gentle reader, as
you saw on the roads thirty years ago, fitted
out complete with boot for baggage, and eve-
rything else, as it was- in the days when
coaches, or Stages as We call them, were the
only- means of conveyance. .3 They put to
them four blooded horses, and they put them-
selves in the uniforms of drivers, and they
load on the roof all their lady friends, and
they drive them. That is all there is about
it. It means thata certain number of rich
young men choose to transform themseves
into stage drivers. There is aclub of these
amiable lunatics in New York, the head luna-
' tic being young James Gordon Bennett, the
proprietor of the Herald. Saturday the club
made its first parade. Seven stage coaches,
rather more costly :'in style, than those you
used to see on your roads, drove up in front
of the Union League :Club,-seven vcry'rich _
young men habited as coachmen toOk' their
. places ‘on the seven boxes, forty-five very
rich, and not‘at all beautiful, young ladies
mounted the roofs, and with the utmost so-
lcmnity the cortege drove off, up Fifth ave-
nue to the park and back again. The streets
were lined with people to see this procession,
from Madison Square all the ‘wayvto the Park;
and if the object of the parade was to attract
attention, the gentlemen stage drivers may be
congratulated. But isn’t it' queer that. in the
days of' Mom men .shOuld'attempt so absurd
a thing as the revival of the stage coach? The
horses on these coaches are the very best that.
money ganlmy, and .they are :groomed to a‘
degree that is almost , painful. ’ By the way,
the absurd English fashion of cutting the
tail of the horse into'the shape of a club, has
been‘adopteddieraI _I Pray let it be confined to
New York, for his ’as‘ugly‘as sin.

The Democratic State Convention did two
foolish things, viz :'—It T"endorsed Sammy
Tilden and snubbed John Morrissey. The
Convention by its acts made it a certainty
that cveryggflcpublican’ in the country will
vote his Straight'ticket, no matter how' much
he may have been disposed to bolt. For Tam-
many—John Kelly’s Tammany—run the ma-
chine from first'to llist. John- Morrissey made
a vigorous fight,-but he. was r outed, horse,
foot and dragoons, and the Kelly was left in
complete possession of the field. Tilden was
endorsed, and if he wins the nomination he
goes before the people as the nominee of the
most villainously corrupt organization that
ever existed. He goes into the canvassas the
especial creature of the old Tammany ring
reorganized—the Tweeds and Connolys un-
der other names. I have no especial admira-
tion for John Morrissey, but I must say that
he did make a good fight, and an apparently
honest one, against these villains. ' But Til-
den’s money, and the Tammany organization
were too much for him, and down he went.
The decent portion of the democracy Of New
York are very sore over the result, and with
a good candidate the Republicans can easily
carry the; state. ' Tammany has recovered
from its defeat last fall, and is arrogant as
ever. Let the Cincinnati Convention give the
Republicans a’ good candidate, and let the St.
Louis Convention nominate Tilden, and we
can carry New York with perfect. ease.
m CHILDREN’S OPERA,
“ maid of the Centennial,” stares one at the
head of every pleasant project now-a-days,
and people are pretty well pillaged on one
pretext or another. The last was the very
pretty spectacle of “Cinderella',” at the Acad-
emy of Music, given by two hundred and
fifty‘children' of fashionable families. Tab-
leaux from “Mother Goose” followed, and. it
wasa pretty sight, the curled darlings, with
flowing fiossy hair, and cloudy, white silver-
spangled dresses, with gauzy wings and»
wands as fairies, and all the romantic Mother
Goose people—Red Riding Hood with he?
basket, the Sleeping Beauty and the Enchant-
ed Prince; and it won plenty of compliments
and plenty ofdollars him the admiring fami-
lies and friends who 'filled' the house. Per-
haps the best fun was the next day, when the
young performers all went down to Mor's,‘
the Spanish artist who takes the beauties and
celebrities of 'the stage with such delicacy, to
be photographed in costume. A'crowd stood-
about the entrance to the gallery, on Broad-
way,»for hours, to catch a glimpse of each
snowy clad little figure as-it-‘fled' from ;ma‘m-
ma’s carriage up the steps. .The boys were
the handsomest in my eyes. Therewas one
little prince in'blue satin and silver court
dress, whose mother ought to pray that he
. might go to heaven before he grows up to
spoil one trace of his open, laughing beauty;
and the fair boy in black satin Continental
dress, with white silk stockings and ruffles at
his wrist, looked as if he had just stepped out
of a picture, with his noble countenance and
grave, sweet air. The girls had marvelous,
delicate complexions—too delicate for pleas-
ure; and, with their -‘Shrinking manners,
seemed like wandering moonbeams. - Even
the slender, fragile creatures-of fifteen, who
will be debutantes next season, who held the
parts of Continental dames in flowered trains
and powdered hair, there was hardly one of
them that looked substantial enough to kiss.
Likesugar angels, they were to look at, but
not to taste. But fancy how charming was
the interior of the photograph saloon, with
groups of miniature court people in gold and
satin, with blue and purple and rose mantles,
figures (1 la pompadour and watteau, niched
in the window seats, hardly as tall as their
golden hair was long, presided and hovered
over by anxious mammas in black satin and
white bonnets. What fun it was to be bid-
den in the photgrapher’s closet, and among
the villainous smelling acids and chromates,
and peep out at the tableaux and the gorgeous
little sitters as they were taken.

" The gallery of the late Wm. T. Blodgett
sold at auction last week for over $90,000, a
tidy sum 'to have locked up in pictures. Mr.
Taler Johnson, whose private gallery is one
of the choicest in New York, opens it to the
public in his own house in aid of the W0-
men's Centennial fund, charging $1.00 ad-
mission, and the chance is eagerly sought.
It is expected that Mr. Stewart's pictures, for
which he paid fortunes, and which he kept
jealously guarded from the public, will now
be accessablc. Those who do not care for
pictures on any other account, will have some
interest in this collection, knowing that it
represents a value much above $500,000. '

The medimval linens ’hrc something for
which the present has to thank modern skill
and old design. They are stout damasks, in
natural and half-bleached shades, relieved by
soft dull colors, and form a‘ desirable class of
fabrics for use, coolness and artistic merit, as
they have much the appearance of antique
brocades, copied from old pictures. Linens
are taking their place at the ,head of textile

. numerous.
Moody and Sankev have gone, and the min
isters of the city churches have undertaken
to carry on the work that . they began. That
is to say, they are endeavoring to run revivals
on their own~hook, in the same manner that
the evangelists did. They have employed
better singers than Sankey, to sing Sankey’s
songs, and as they 'all think they are better
orators than Moody, they believed they could
The fact is they may preach better than
Moody, and their paid singers may sing bet-
ter than Sankey, but it don’t amount to a
straw. They have not the soul in it that the
evangelists had, and soul is what counts.
Moody and Sankey were in earnest, they be-
lievc in,_what they are doing, and they were
SIcccssful. They agonizcd ; they never ate
or slept while at their work, and having no
clap-trap or nonsense about it, they did good
everywhere; revivals by machinery won’t do,
and never did and never will. It won’t an-
saver to put an opera' singer in the place cf
Sankey, for while he may be a better singer
than Sankey, he will sing it as an opera sing-
er, and not as a man who feels that he is re-
sponsible for the salvation of men. It is sad,
but is true, that with the going of the evan-
gelists, the interest in religious matters in the
city is gone. New York will have to go On
in its sin till they or some other equally zeal-
ous men come to lift it out.

T110 Favorite Son.
It suits the purposes 'of some people to
assume that the ‘votc of New England in the
Cincinnati convention will be cast as a unit,
and cast for New Englands‘s favorite son,
James G. Blaine .of Maine. The favoriteson’
business seems to be a popular one, and it is
ried on in States where the son is a genuine
and lineal descendant and not an hdopted
child or a.nephew ; in States, for instance,
like Ohio and Pennsylvania and New York
and Maine and Indiana, but it would be better
understood that, when taken as a whole,
New ’England is in this mpaign' a childless
mother, and that she will probably remain
'so, because she can’t agree with herself as t'o'
' which Of the. many promising orphans who
are advertised for adoption ghe would better
take as her own. Maine is for. her favor;
ite son first, Ian, and: all the time, but 'her
sister New England States, while thinking
favorably bf their“, promising. nephew, are.
others quitcaslikely to grow into a good,
honest, independent President as he, and, as
things look now, they ’will go to Cincinnati
veryImuCh divided in their counsels.‘ The
favorite of New England is the true Repub-
lican who can be elected President, regard-
less Of his mother, and there is an impression
which is growing stronger every day, that
Ben. Bristow is the most likely to fill the
bill. '
In Vermont, the delegation is unpledged,
mitted by all that it is perfectly free and
more than half inclined to support Bristow.
.General Hawley, one of the delegates from.
Connecticut, announced in a public meeting
at Hartford on Saturday night that he sup-
ported Bristow, and more than one-half of
his colleagues in the delegation are. said to
agree with his views.
In Massachusetts, the delegates have not
yet been elected, but it is evident enough
that the delegation will be divided, and that
if it represents the Republican voters, it will
give Bristow as many votes as“ Blaine and
then leave a few for Wasllbnrnc or some oth-
er good man.
In Néw Hampshire, a convéntioxr held to-
. day would, we are sure, select more Bristow
than 'Blaine delegates, thOugh many who
support Bristow would perfer Blaine if they
believed he was as strong. a candidate. We
have made it a point to obtain the opinions
of those who represent Republican opinion in
Manchester, and whose counsels have general-
ly shaped the policy of the party, and while
there are many who wouldprefer some other
man than Bristow for President, we have
met with but a single one in a week, and he-
was an office-holder, who does not believe.
his nomination is the strongest which can be
made. And our New Hampshire Republi-
cans are not the men to risk defeat for rela-
tions sake. We suspect thatI, New Hamp-
shire's favorite nephew is not Maine’s favor-
ite son, unless it can be shown that he_ can
“make his calling and election sure.”——.i{an-

REBEL AND UNION Pmsoxnns.—Ex-Sena-
tor Brownlow, in the Knoxville (Tenn)
Chrmu'cle, says : “I propose to state a few
facts which came under my observation, and
I will begin here at home, where the Con-
federate authorites drove the Union prisoners
into the jail of Knoxville at the point of the
bayonet, and, overcome with hunger and
thirst, they. were denied the privilege of
drinking out of the creeks through which
they had to wade. 'The rebel authorities
hauled water from the river and filled barrels
and then they would take occasion to wash
their hands and faces over the mouth of the
barrel and we,would r'emonstrate' against it,
telling them the water was for us to drink,
they would reply, ‘anything is good enough
for a Lincolnite.’
The same course of violence was pursued
in regard to prisoners from McMinn and
other counties thrOughout East Tennessee.
They were particularly malicious toward this
section of the state. These things were not
in a corner, but in the open light of day.
Never did any- people exercise equal forbear-
ance to that displayed by the Union soldiers
on their return home at the close of the war.
The wonder is that they did not exterminate
their persecutors. I was allowed, after hav-
ing been treated with much bad faith and
treachery, to go through the lines, making
my headquarters at Cincinnati. From that
point I went into Indiana, and was shown
through Camp Morton by Gov. Morton him-
self. I found the priSon full [tn overflowing
with rebel prisoners. I was astonished to
find them so well provided for and so kindly
treated. They were especially well fed. One
of them was a cousin of mine, and I talked
to him about the fare. He informed me that
it was good, and then added that he had no
grounds for complaint on that score. From
Camp Morton I went to Camp Douglas, at
Chicago, and there I found a, number of
prisoners wcll treated and well provided for.
Their sleeping bunks and provisions were so
well prepared that I was utterly surprised,
and spoke of it to the- ofllcer in charge.
From‘Chicago I proceeded to Columbus,
Ohio. At Camp Chase I found a large num-
ber of priéoners, and I was again astonished
to find them so well provided for, both as
regards lodging and diet."

The First Couple.
When bright with woman‘s glance and grace,
Fair Eve to Adam’s love was given,
He gazed upon her beauteous face,
And thought that earth indeed was heaven.
Each day some new delight appeared,
Each hour some new attraction sprung,
And found each link of life endeared;
I At last he found that—she'd a tongue.
Close hid within those ruby gates,
With all those pearly gates to screen it,
He heard her tongue, tradition states,
An hour or two before he’d seen it.
She teased, as only woman can—
A power they've kept for ages longI;
Her plan was still the better plan,
Ilcr tongue, by far, the better tongue.
Despite her charms that sweetly beamed,
Poor Adam thought, before a week,
That though perfection else, it seemed
A great mistake to make her speak;
Yet she fies precious to his heart—
- And,” for faults—why, she was young;
He would not with an atom part;
No, not a jot—«except her tongue.

Two adventurers of the lower class, seeing
the favor which the Franks enjoyed with
the Sultan, Selim I I I, who died in 1807,
and how very easy he was of access, resolved
it possible, to profit by the liberality of this
munificent prince; and success appeared to
them easy, if they could but present him with
some novelty, no matter how strange or ridic-
ulous their invention might be, provided they
could make it pass for European. Afterde-
vising and rejecting various plans to make the
Sultan draw his purse strings, they at last hit
upon the following scheme : They caused a
report to be spread,that a stranger hadrecent-
ly arrived in the city, bringing with him a
wonderful bear, which could play extremely
well upon the pianoforte. Gossip fame. soon
spread the news; and the Sultan gave orders
that the bear should be brought ,to exhibit its
wonderful talents in his sublime presence. Ac-
cordingly, at the appointed hour,the bear and
his leader, rejoiced in what they considered -
the certain success of their scheme, took the
road to the seraglio. Being introduced into
the interior apartments, they were conducted
into one, where concealed behind venetian
blinds, all the ladies of the harem were wait-
ing the arrival of the Sultan, that the won-
derful spectacle might begin. Their impatience
was soon gratified; his highness arrived,-Ind
the moment he entered, he was observed to
regard Bruin very attentively. Animated
with the hope of pleasing the royal spectator,
our bear performed wonders; he danced, ca-
ressed his master, and played a 'variety of
tricks; to which the Sultan paid great at-
tention. At last came the great trial of bru-
in’s powers; he was ordered by his master
to play. . Raising himself on his hind-legs,
he performed, with his fore-paws, I. piece of
music in the best stylcwfid captivated the
Sultan so completely, that he eagerly asked
the owner of this wonderful animal to set a
price upon him. This unexpected proposal
threwbruin into great confusion, and it in-
creased when he found that his master, fear-
ful lest an abrupt refusal should discover the
trick, appeared inclined to come to terms:—
‘ Tray," whispered the bear,while he appeared
to caress his leader, “ do not leave me here 1"
but the caresses which he gave his master
made the Sultan more eager to purchase him.
At last the pretended owner thought to put an
end to a scene, which he plainly perceived
bruin could not sustain much_longer, by de-
manding an exhorbitant price for him.
“ Count the sum required," cried the magnifi-
cent Selim, “ and take this animal to my me
nagerie." The first part of the order was in.
stantly obeyed by the khasnader; and the 0th-
or ofilcers approached the bear to fulfil the
second part of it.
Till now our animal had behaved with won.
eaznrrn-
derful gentleness; but the moment had ar-
rived when he found it necessary to show that
he possessed all the fierceness of his species.
Entrenching himself in the angle of the apart-
ment which was opposite to the door. he wait-
ed impatiently till he saw it open; when sud-
denly raising himself on his hind-legs,he rush-
ed out followed by his leader. No one offered
to stop him, because they thought his master
pursued in order to bring him back. One
might suppose, that the Sultan Selim would
have been sufficiently exasperated to have set
a price upon the heads of the two impudent
knaves ;—but having, from the moment he saw
the bear, penetrated the trick, the only re-
venge which he determined to take was to
give them a hearty fright in return for the in-
sult they had ofiercd.

A Milkman’s Fieiidisliness.
He surged round the corner into Dodge’s
market, dropped down upon an empty peach
crate, and ejaculated, “ Tophet !" Tim said
“What's the matter with you ?” And the old
man wiped the sweat from his face and said :-
“Young feller, I’d give $75,000 to git my
hands into that durned whitewash peddler
that leaves me milk. Last fall,” continued
the old man, “I put up a storm-door over the
back stairs, and from that day to this my
milkman (with devilish persistency and un. --
hallowed depravity) has sot my pail, after
fillin’ it withmilk, hard up agin the storm.
door on the top step and as soon as I try ter
Open the door over goes the pail. I writ
mor’n 4,000 notes hnd pinned ’em onto the
steps, for that man ter leave the pail on the
lower step, but’s no use. ,I’vc upsot mor'n
300 gallons of milk this winter, and there
ain’t a cussed cat in Ward IV that don’t
know jist where tcr come fer her breakfast.
For the last two months I’ve ginerally gone
out through the front hall and round the back
yard and brought in the pail. I did so this
mornin’, but forgot for take my night-key,
and here I am shut out in the cold. The old
woman is up stairs asleep, and so darned deaf
that Gabriel hisself coulden’t make her hear
nothin’. I wish that everlastin’ milkman had
tcr chaw stryehnine till he was a corpse."
And the old man ground ,his heel into the
floor and looked wicked.— Boston Courier.

Ho Died for Me.
A traveler in one of the Southern States of
America came one day to a newly.made
grave. He saw a man smoothing the turf
and planting flowers, while tears flowed free-
ly frOm his eyes.
“You have lost, I suppose, a beloved
wife '1’" said the traveler, accosting him.
“No,” said he, “I have not lost a wife. ”
“ Perhaps it is a dear child who lies bur-
ied there," said the stranger again. '
" No,” said the mourner, “I have lost no
wife and no child."
“ Why then, are you planting these flow.
em on that grave, and weeping as you plant , '
them i"
“ 1 am doing this for one who died for _
me.” .
“But how ibthis 7" said the traveler.
“ 1 was called," said the mourner, to serve
as a soldier. A friend of mine came forward ,
he said :. ‘I have no wife and no child. ' I
will go instead of you.’ He went, and was
mortally wounded. Hearing of this, I went
to the hospital where he lay. Ere I reached
it he was gone ; and here belies buried. He
died for me and I plant these flowers in mem-
ory of his love."
Afterward a tombstone was set up, and on
it were carved the simple words:
“ rm DIED FOR ME." .
Such is the love of man to man, of friend
to friend. “Greater love hath no man than
this: that a man lay down his life for his
friend ; but God commendeth his love toward
us, in that while we were yet sinners Christ
died for us.”—Romans v, 8. " ,
What will prove that Christ died for 111
reader ? .His quitting bothjlis sins and his
righteousness, and going to Jesus.
“ The ransomed of the Lord stall return
and come." Remember, reader, you must
here be led to Jesus, or hereafter perish In
your sins—IMO: Gleaner.
