Fourth avenue, up stairs, will be open for the
reception and distribution of flowers, every
Monday and Thursday, between 10 a In. and
1 p-m, throughout the summer. .
This Association distributed during the
summer of 1876 more than 4.000 bouquets
among 65 hospitals and asylums, and 4,068
cases of illness in tenementvhou'ses. The phy-' .
sicians are unanimous in asserting the sanita-
ry value of these distributions.
Contributions of fruits, flowers, and plants
are earnestly solicited. Families living in the
country are invited to club together and send
boxes of wild 6r garden flowers as often as
possible to the hall.
The Hoytsl
. NEW CANAAN NURSERY.
If that man is a public benefactor who can-
ses two blades of grass to grow where only
one grew before, what may not be said in
praise of one who has taken one of the rough-
est of the rough New England farms, and by
dint of long years of systematic and intelli-
gent labor,'made that farm to literally “bud
and blossom” with the rose.
We are quite sure we shall surprise most
of our readers as greatly as we were ourselves
surprised, when we give a few of the details
of the enormous business done by the Messrs.
SraPuxv Herr & SONs at the .New Canaan
Tree, Shrub and Plant Nursery. We can
well remember when, some thirty years ago,
the senior of the present enterprising firm,
“astonished all the natives" and provoked all
sorts of unc.rtai‘n criticisms from his neghfl
bOrs, _.' because he would venture upon the
'wild experiment of starting it nursery. '
Their prognostications were large to the ef-
fect‘that certainand inevitable failure were.
suretoafollow upon socraz'y' a scheme. And.
{we have little doubt but that a majority of
these Enhlcroakers, if living," With the people
of this regoin generally, would be as greatly
astonished as We Were, at its present vast
magnitude, should they, as we did, perambu;
‘ late the whole of the now more than one hun-
dred acres devoted to tree and shrub raising
For not only is this Nursery the largest one
in all New England, but it is the largest one
in the United States east of syracuse. A"
few details will help the reader to realize in
part its present enormous proportiOns. '
For instance, of Forest Trees, embracing-all
the varieties 9f the chestnut, the maple, lin-
den, tulip, birch. willow, 650., families, they
have rising of my thousand trees. Of "the
hemlock. pine and cedar families they have
over one hundred thousand separate trees. Of
trees and shrubs, such as the Odouble red,
white and pink thorns, flowering cherry,
mountain ashes, larches, silver poplars, &c.,
they have acres upon acres. Of pear trees
of all varieties worth the raising, their stock
reaches above fifty thousand. Of cherries
they, have full fifty thousand trees; twenty
tho‘usfand of plums of all the worthy varie-
etics, and twenty thousand quince trees,
dwarf apple, pearand peach trees, in great
number. and eighty thousand standard peach
trees. Of the latter their stock will run to
over one hundred thousand fit to market next
year. ' ‘
Of honey locust, principally used for
hedges, their stock- approximates a hundred
thousand. Howthornybubnrrnnd dwarf ce-
dar for hedges also have an enormous aggre-
gate. . . ,
But the leading specialty of the New C -
naan Nursery is its apples. Of these trees of
the very many superior and acceptable varie-
ties, they have a stock of over a million trees !
Every fall they visit the cider mills far and
near, and purchase and cleanse- the seed from
the refuse ;pummace,’anifit is a poor season
that they-do not plant out one hundred and
fifty bushels of apple seeds. Last Fall, in ad-
dition to the apples, they sowed eighty bush-
els of peach pits. While the cherryand plum'
seem to be as badly as ever. infested with in.
sect enemies, the peach is now growing‘and
bearing with its aforetime hardiness and :thrif-
tiness,. and they are taking great pains in the
introduction of the peach again. '
They have not less_than seventy-five thou-
sand grape vinescomprisin g mostly Concords,
Hartford Prolifics, the Rogers, Hybrids,
Marthas, Clintbns, Delawares and Cham-
pions. The latter is a new varietyrof great
excellence and ten days . earlier even than
the Hartford Prolific. They have just re'o‘
deemed twenty acres of primeval swamp an
put it all down in grapes. - -
Of the sulall fruits, such as'the Kittatiuny,
Bleakley, Thornless, _Mammoth .Cluster,
BlackCapjnd all the best varieties of the
redraspberry; there iseemed' to’ be no end.
Of strawberries there are every known varie-
ty worth the raising. Their present pride and
boast is the “Great American,” iniroduced
the 1ast,yesr by its , originator, ML'Durand,
and which for enormous yield, flavor and size
is believed to exceed all former results in
strawberry culture. They were fortunate
enough to get one thousand plants of these;
weasel-an agrees: last fall, and will .have sn-i
abundantisdpplyfor all local orders the com-y
“Swim: ' . ‘ ~‘ - ’-
Theyfiéal-largely‘ also in ‘currants, and of
the Cherry, White, Grape and LaVerseilles,
they have a full hundred-thousand.
Of all the'ornaiuentsl shrubs thriving in ‘
our climate, their stock is simply enormous.
Of__I_t_qse_s-they have acres, and Tube *Roses
and GladiolasLby' the thousands, and all" the
smaller families of out-door flowers in abund-
ant profusion. '
The first seeds for this great Nursery were
planted in the autumn of 1848, and their that
tree stocks were set in the spring of forty-
nine. The. [most sanguine dreams of the
founder;probably never anticipated that his
business would ever. become one-half.what it
is, or-invoive theroue hundredth part of the
labor-and capital no‘w employed in itsprose-
cation. But like a few others before him,
he “builded greater than he knew.” Soon
his'i’two sonsgrew to man‘s estate, with
the same rich inheriteuce of the father, in
solid, unwavering, "Puritanic integrity, and
the same indomitable :aud unwearied habits
of industry. “Togthese sterling qualities, the
boys, as’ is the -_wont of .modern “Young
America" of the better quality, supplement-
ed a large accession of. youthful enthusiasm
and enterprise in the promotion and extension
of the business. We should be glad, could
we gratify curiosity, by giving the ledger bal-.
snces of the first year’s sale of this Nursery
and the last one. But that is a sealed book.
While. their enormous business, so prudently
and sagaciously pressed for more than a quar-'
ter of a century, must have proved largely

Having given so. much of the details of
their business, let us moralize thereon in the
common interest of us all. Here is a firm
right at our doors abundantly able and wil-

good any possible mishap to one’s tree or
shrub purchase, which an outsider is not, and
their products are thoroughly acclimated.
But more, and of far greater moment than
this, they have a fair business right to
supply§our local wants in their line,so long as
they offer equal inducements with the_
stranger. By. their industry and sagacity
they have built up a business which has sup
ported scores of families, and has, like a fac-
tory, paid out to its workmen far up towards
hundreds of thousands of dollars, which
money goes into the pockets of our merchants
and shopmen, and adds so much to general
local prosperity by putting a large sum of
money into circulation which has been drawn
hither from abroad. Such business men and
such citizens are deserving and should an.
grudgingly receive the support of the com-
munities in which they carry on their enter-
prises, whethcr they raise and sell trees, keep
a store, a shop, or print a newspaper. Yet

' ‘1‘on AGAINST CRIME—TAMHANY IN CONTROL
AGAINT-TEMPERANCE—FINANCIAL TROUB-
LES—BUSINESS.
NEW YORK, J one 22, 1877.
. POLITICAL.
The event of the week was the reception
of Tilden and Hendricks by the Tammany
Society and the Manhattan Club. There are
always wheels'within wheels, and in this
other. The splurge was originally intended by
the Anti-Tilden democracy of this city, as
the beginning of a movement to put Hen-
dricks on the, track three years from now.
Originally it was intended to leave Tilden
out of the demonstration—the excuse being
that it was merely a good-bye to Hendricks
who was en route for Europe. But Uncle
Sammy is altogether too astute for any thing
of this kind, and he quietly notified-the" man-
agers that they had better invite him or there
would be trouble. He had no idea of per-
mitting Hendricks to get that per cent. on
him. It was done accordingly, and then Sam-
my put himself at the front‘aud what was in-
tended to be a demonstration in favor of
Hendricks was converted into a demonstra-
tion in favor of Tilden. Then came the usual
fight between the local politicians. John
Kelly, the head of Tammany. was bound
that Morrissey, his ancient enemy, should
not have an opportunity to air himself; and
be so manipulated the demonstration as to be
everywhere recognised as the central figure,
even though tordo it he had to lionize Tilden
whom he hates most cordially. But he cut
the comb of Morrisey most effectually. The
speeches _of Slippery Sam make amusing read-
ing. In the crowd who stood close beside
him while he was denouncing fraud ‘iu poli-
ties, were Pelton, who engineered the attempt
to buy a republican elector in 0regon,Tweed’s
District Attorney and two of his deputies,
a score of Tweed’sbest-known ofiicials, men
who grew rich out of his stealings by Tilden’s
help, and every political sbyster and adven-
turer in the city. And to such a crowd, the
shameless man who standssfirst in the list Of
political corruptionists, who spent 'five mil-
lions of stolen money in an attempt to buy
himself into the presidency, spoke gravely of
the terrible frauds that had kept him out of
the presidency! It was the cheekiest per-
formance that New York ever saw. Tilden
still intends to be a candidate in 1880.
THE RING BORDERS.
The Ring robbers will all get out with the
most of their plunder, except Tweed. The
District Attorney read his confession and has
decided that there is not_enough in it to justify
his release, and so Tweed stays to chafe his
soul out, in duress. Sweeney gets through
by restoring about one-twentieth of his steal-
ings, and Connolly ditto. It, is rumored that
a proposition frOm Oakey Hall is on the way
to this country, which'will be of course ac-
cepted, and; he will coine back. Oakey'played
it veryasmarr on the-cit}. and "got away as
well aSLtIIOse'vVhorwent- sooner, ’ and *‘he’will
enmeback'covered with glory. , Tweed says
he has been used very unfairly. He claims
that it was understood that‘When he made a.
confession he was to be released, which .was
true, only his confession was no confession.‘
The gay oldirat Only and on those who were
past saving, and with whom hc~hadvasbone to
pick, but the real culprits who could be ser-
viceable to the Boss hereafter, he did not say
a word about. And so District Attorney
Fairchild refuses to let him go till he tells the
wh story. , It is amusing to hear men talk.
of th ruelty of keeping Tweed in prison, as
though he were a martyr, suffering for right-
eousnes’s’ sake, insteadof being the most gi-
gantic robber of modern times. ' And Tweed
himself thinks that he is being persecuted.
He hasn’t the faintest idea] that he ' has done
anything wrong." 7 _
rnorscrrox AGAINST cums.
There isn’t the slightest protection against
crime in the city. If a man charged with
iug his escape. if he has money enough.
Within a week four men charged with grave
crimes and under.arrest,'déliberately walked
ofl, one out of Ludlow street jail, one out of
the Tombs Police Court, and two out of the
charge were conveniently blind, or conven-
iently out of the way, and all the prisoners
had to do was to walk out and get away.
Now all this means
TAMMANY is IN coNrnor. AGAIN.
‘The spirit of reform which shook the city
has spent its course, popular, feeling has in a
measure subsided, vigilance is relaxed and
the democracy have come to the front
offices, Boss" Kelly and his. gang'have control
and such operations ”permitting the. escape
of criminals who can pay for it, are no longer
punishable. Unless the advancing tide is
checked bysome demonstration of. strength
on the part of the republicans supported by
the decent portion of the democracy, the city
will be in the control of the Tammanyites as
completely as it was under Tweed, within 3
year. ' The Republicans who are growling
about small matters in the President's policy
ought to stay here a while, and see the prac-
tical workings of democracy where it has un-
-limited sway. It isalike everywhere. Wher-
ever . it gets power, corruption runs riot, and
fraud rules supreme. Tammany is a poison
which abides wherever. there is a democratic
majority. The'struggle nowis not So much
as to “policies" as it is whether the respecta-
ble portion ofthe pOpulati'on‘ or the lower el-
ements shall have control.
New York we are very securely in the hands
crime is arrested, he ha's'no difficulty in maki"

again. .Theiold' Tweed villiansai‘e lining the '
In ‘ democratic .
The Murphy movement, which has swept
theSouthcrn tier of counties in-the state like
a whirlwind, is being inaugurated in this city.
The temperance bodies under the skillful
leadership of young Tyng, and others equally
zealous, have perfected a consolidation, and
will make a movement along the whole line.
Licenses have been granted as freely as .ever,
for the provision in the excise law which
prohibited licenses to all ‘except in-keepers,
who kept three beds for the accommodation
of the public, was very easily evaded: The
rum mills each put up three banks in their
rear rooms, and unblushingly swore that they
Were inukeepers, and got their licenses. The
bunks were found convenient as they could
be used' to lay out the more respectable of
their customers when they got too heavy a
cargo on. Practically there is no regulation
or check upon rum-selling in this city—it is
all free as air. Everybody sells who chooses,
and sells whenever he chooses, Sundays and
weekdays, it is all one. The temperance
bodies are determined to‘ put some im-
pediment in their way and to do it now.
They intend to hold 'a series of monster
meetings, to awaken the public confidence,
and then to commence legal proceedings
vigorously. They will organize in every
ward, have vigilance committees, .the best
counsel to take the cases through the courts,
and at the meetings they expect to make it
warm for public men who stand in the way
of reform. They intend to shut up a great
many who cannot stand the expense of re-
peated prosecutions,—accomplishing a great
deal of good thereby, as these are the small
bucket-shops that furnish the very poor, with
the vilest rum,-and they intend as well to
regulate the trafllc among those Who are too
strong to be squelched, compelling them to
at least keep it within the bounds of decency.
All good citizens are expected to join in the
movement, and by sheer force of public
opinion make it a success. It will amount to
something this time, for it is being gone
about in the proper-way.
FINANCIAL 'rnouans.
Another banker, this time a german named
Geruoti’has abscondcd, leaving his depositors
‘ _with nothing. He wasn'ta great thief, only
$25,000 was taken 'by him, but when it is
considered that this money was the all of a
thousand poor laborers, widows and girls,
who had put each their little pittance where
it was supposed to be'safe, that they might
have it to_ pay rent and for food against the
day when there could be no work procured,
the extent of the disaster may be compre:
headed. When it became knowu that he had
absconded, about, a thousand people whose
deposits’ran from $1 to $25, were at, the
bank, the men cursing, and the women weep-
mg. The treasurer of the French Benevo-
ent Society ran away with all their funds,
$20,000, and one or two Life Insurance Com.
panies are in the throes of dissolution. Take
it all in all it is as unhealthy financially as it
is in other respects. '
BUSINESS
is dead, and the weather is terribly hot. The
days-bake and the nights parboil. It _is
muggy, sultry, sticky and nasty. Of course
there can be no buying or selling in such
weather, for the seller hasn't energy ,euongh
to name aprice for anything, and the buyer
hasn’t strength enough to accept or decline

tives have opened the free baths, so the poor

Letters from the People.
VEDI’I‘ORS Gazarru :—
Will you have the kindness to inform me
who owns the Borough Water Works, the
Borough or the Water Commissioners? There
is much just complaint in regard to the man-
ner in which they treat the consumers of wa-
ter. It strikes me that it is a matter that all
have an 'interest' in, and that overbearing
.rules and enfOrcements are uncalled for. I
believe, in common with many others, that a
more liberal course would 1; rgely benefit all
interested. Much more water, that would be
paid for, would be used if sbme more liberal
course was adopted. Millions of gallons
monthly runs over the dam of the reservoir
and finally wastes'itself in the harbor, much
of which might and would be used in vari-
ous ways could any kind of reasonable terms
be made with those, who by virtue of office,
have the right to say what shall be done and
what shall not. The rates might well be
made lower, when really less would be used
by the present consumers than now. The
rates are uselessly high and in some cases an-
justly so, and the consequence is that those
who pay for it to a very large extent really
let it run to Waste. We have heard‘ people
say, "we pay enough for it, so let it run.”
In other places I know of, for instance foun-
tains, being considered public ornaments, are
allowed free. We know. in most places they
are paid for, yet Norwalk with her large
waste of water could well aflord to allow
fountains to run run free. _;Searcely one of
these ornaments can be foundin the town,
and the only one we now call to mind is not
in use from-the excéssive price asked for
.the water. ‘ We think thevoice of thepcople
would be to let fountains be erected and
.use-the water free or else at a'grcatly reduced
‘rate than ish'ere charged. There would be
no trouble, {(as is' done in .other places) in
times ofscarcety, to have its use for this pur-
pose stopped. Again,.we have kfiwn appli-
cations madc for the water-to run wheels and
motora‘and have understood that the terms
were so uncertain'orjexcessive that most of
such projects- have been abandoned. We
think this whole water matter needs investi-
gatiOn. Give us our water at the lowest
possible rates, and let it be used for every
required purpose; and especially let it be
used for mechanical purposes -_and for foun-
tains, if people will erect them, at the lowest
;practicablc price. Every; embargo, in the
adornment or welfare ’of a town, not only
works lasting injury on its citizens but cau-
ses it to’ retrograde. .. oss No'r ALONE.

ABOUT SUNFLOWERS.
Sunflowers are rich in honey, and
are consequently good neighbors for
bees. Oil, hardly to be. distinguished
from olive oil by any one but an ex-
pert. may be extracted from the seed,
In the proportion of one gallon to
one bushel. One acre will produce
something like fifty bushels of seeds.
The. seeds, too, make food not‘ un-
palatable for human beings and very
good for animals and. poultry. The
Portuguese and American Indians
make a kind of'bread from them, and
roasted they may be ground and used
as a substitute for coffee. The stalks
may be used as bean poles while grow-
ing. Dry, they make passable roofs
for sheds and the like, and burn rapid-
ly on the hearth. The ashes are very
rich in potash. Alto other it is a
very useful plant, ant , to crown all,
it has a. reputation which the scien~
fists have never disproved, for absorb-
ing malaria, and acting as an effectual
screen against that scourge of low-
lying districts—fever and ague. "'
' THE WHITE WILLOW-
The white willow is almost uni-
versally well s oken of through the
West, as a rapir grower, and a useful
’tree, both for shelter and for hedges.
A great many persons are planting it,
and We baye seen' trees from cuttings,
planted three years, which were three
inches thick, and fifteen feet high.
Those trees may be cut that year, or
next, for fence-poles There are also
many willow hedges planted, and if
they are not all that may be desired,
yet they grow quickly, and make a
good wind-break; when three or four
inches thick they may be lopped oil
at four feet from the ground. to
The cuttings
should be thicker and larger than
usually planted. An inch in diameter
at least and four feet long, is a good
size. They should be set a. foot apart,
and eighteen Inches deep. -
THE GARDENER’S LESSON.
Two gardeners had their crops of
peas killed by the frost. One of them
was very impatient under the loss,
and fretted about it very much. The
other went patiently to work at once
to plant a new crop. After a. while
the impatient, fretting man went to
his neighbor. To his surprise he
found another crop of peas growing
finely. He asked how this could be.
"These are what I sowed while
you were frettingf’ said his neigh-
bor.
“But
asked.
“Yes, I do, but I put it off till I
have repaired the mischief that has
been done.” _
“Why, then you have no need to
fret at all.” -
“True,” said his friend, “and th t’s
the reason I put it off.” -
LAlVN GRASS.
A writer in the Rural New-Yorker
says it will do ‘to sow orchard. grass
and other coarse grasses on low, rich
grounds, provided the owner will
keep it constantly cut short; once a
week or ofteuer; but on dry or sandy
soil, he should confine himself to red
top, blue. grass and white clover,
especially if he does not cut it so
often. The truth is, every thing de-
pends on cutting frequently; nothing
thickens the green mat so perfectly
and makes‘ it so. fine and soft; and
hence the importance of having a
lawn mowing machine, which, if of
the right sort. will cut by hand several
times faster than a scythe, and in-
comparably neuter, It is impossible
to have a good lawn if you depend
on the scythe. .
don’t you ever fret?” he
It is working the wrong way to at-
tempt to reduce the size of the cob
in field corn. If the cob could be re-
duced in size to one inch in diameter
by-_ selection of seed for a series of
years, the product of the crop must
certainly be greatly reduced at the
same time. A cob two inches in dia-'
meter has double the space to be
filled with grain that one half that
size has. The efforts should be to en-
“large the size of the cob in thickness
and length, and to increase the length
and number of the rains at the same
time. There is no oubt ' that much
may be done in this way by selecting
for seed those cars which have the
largest number of row/s and the great,
est length, and planting the seed re-
mote from other corn: .
It is difficult to distinguish a goose
from a gander by external marks
without close stu y. After long ac-
quaintance with the flock, the recog-
nition is very' easy. The voice of the
gander is harsher and more: discordant
than that of the goose, the, head is
coarser, and the bill stouter and
er, and the breast less prominent.
Generally the gander is the'fi-rst ag-
gressor in those demonstrations which
a flock of geese del'o‘ht to make
upon strangers. The gan er is always
on the lookout, and if one in a. flock
is on the alert,'while the rest are feed.
ilug, it is almost certain to be a gem.

“ Wuss DAN AnsONv.”—-Brothcr Gardner
was seeking a job around‘the Central market,
yesterday, when he came across a young col-
lored friend who was rigged out in a new suit
of clothes and a lot of flash jewelry. After a
lengthy survey of the outfit, the old ‘man
asked : ’ ' ‘
“ My friend, what’s your income at the pres-
ent time '?- "’
“ ’Bout six dollars a wee ,” was the an-
swer.
“ An' you is puttin' all dat glory on a dol-
lar a day! Shoo! But I . didn't s’pose derc
was such a fool-nigger in Detroit 1 Dat’s a
wuss case dan arsonyl ” ,
“ Hasn’t I dc right to w’ar good clothes if
I earned dem? ” protested the other.
“ No, sah, you hasn’t. De proper way for
you to do is to frow all dat brass jewelry away
put on common clothes, an’ go 'round lookin'
like that dollar a day was jist about keepin’
your head above water. Ize got a house an’
lot, money in de bank, cane-seat chairs in de
parlor, an' a picture of General Grant all
framed up in gilt, but does I go round lookin’
like I owned de city hall? Does I fling on

out "am John Jacob Astor ? , Boy, you
want to quit dat business. Frow away dat
gorgeous-glory; put some mud on your boots
an’ come along wid me an’ hold de pail while
I whitewash a fence,"—-Datroit Free Prue.

The following letter from Rev. G. W. Mansfield,

Church, Hyde Park, and at present settled In

letter of the wonderful curative ualities of VEG-

HYDE PARK, MASS.. Feb. 15. 1876.
Mk. II. It. Srnvnus. _
Dear sin-About ten ears ago my health failed
through the (lepletingc ects or‘dyspe Isia; nearly
a year later I was attacked by typhor fever In Its
Worst form. It settled in In' buck and took [Ill
form of a large deep seated at scesses. which was
fifteen months In gathering. I had two surgical
0Donations by the best skill in the» state, but 11-
ceived no cure. I suflered great pain at times.
and was constantly weakened by a profuse dis-
charge. I also lost small pieces of bone at diner-
ent times. -
Matters, ran on thus about seven years, till May.
1874, when a friend recommended me to go to your
onion. and talk with you of the virtue of VEGE-
TINE. I did so, and by your kindness passed
through your manufactory, noting the ingredients,
the" by which your remedy is produced.
By what I saw and heard I gained some confi-
dence in VEGETINE. .
l commenced taking It soon after, but felt worse
1 persevered. and soon felt it
was beneflttiu g me In other respects. Yet I did
not see the results I desired till I had taken II
faithfully for a little more than a year, when the
dime in the back was cured: and for nine
man I have enjoyed the best of health.
I have in that time gained twenty-five noun-ls
of flesh.being heavier than ever bei‘orein my life,
and I was never more able to perform labor than
110W. During the ast few weeks I had a scrotu-
lous swelling as barge us my list gathered on an-
other art of m or . . .
I toupk Vuomxnu faithfully, and It removed It
level with the surface in a month. 1 think I
should have been‘cured of my main trouble soon-
cr if 1 had taken larzer doses, after buying be-
come accustomed to its effects..
Let your patrons troubled wnh scrofula or kid-
ney disease understand that it takes time to cure
chronic diseases; and, it‘ they will patiently take
VEGETINE. it will, in my judgement, cure them.
With great obligations, 1 am ‘

recent occasion, “acorruptdyngtyfhad es-

‘is founded on‘ fact; "is .tt‘rhijiiiglyg narrated;
see,ms,lto have agnod mthgvsndgfor the
place and time was ’apprOpriatle,nyr..the_ rea-
gson‘that it brought 'up‘reminiscences Of ab-'
sent friends. 'The'tOuching reforence’OI‘ Mr.
Tilden to ”illegitjriner Democratic leaders
whose skillfIiI’iiianaIzement and consummate
ability incity’and State politics had brought
’to scores of his hearers both .fame and for-
tune and themselves to exile and the peniten-
tiary, must have affected that gallant host al-
most to tears. .It is well on such mansions
.that‘ we break off for a moment. from our
Cups and our hie-cups ahd recall memories of
‘ our friends who through their zeal and for
our intei‘ests‘have got into the penitentiary
or been driven into exile. ‘insto ," says
Mr. Tilden—and especially the h ory of
the Democratic party—5‘ ‘abounds in similar
examples.” This should not be lost on us.
It was quite natural on this occasion that the
imagination of Mr. Tiiden should hover over
Ludlow Street, Blackwell’s Island, and Bel-
gium, and eminently proper that he should
recall to the statesman before him, the unfor-
tunate examples of the statesmen whom they
knew sowell ,. and to whom they owed so
much.
We must consider the story simply in the
light of a pleasing reminiscence. It came in
at a time of night anda point in the order of
exercises when the sentrmentally inclined
are apt to remember their departed friends
and mingle their tea and their teddy together.
It has been intimated that Mr. Tilden’s rem-
iuiscences of the , period .‘when he and Mr.
.Tweed and Mr. Sweeny were laboring to-
getherfor the public good were intended for
effect upon the Administration, as showing
what finally happens to “corrupt. dynasties.”
We hardly think this is true. We can recall
but a. single incident that could serve either
as illustration or precedent for it. Mr. Syl-
vester Potter, a Connecticut person whose
circumstances were both indigent and indig-
nant. had a horse whose cut feed was curses
and a hickory stick, and his regular pastur-
age any good place that Mr. Potter found the
bars down. Mr. Potter, though in the most
moderate of moderate circumstances, was not
poor through any neglect of his to ask for
what he wanted or seize what he corildtreach.
To Mr. Potter, leading his gaunt steed
through the half-open gate into Deeon Elijah
Davenport’s clover field, the Deacon present-
ed a mild but resolute front, denying admit-,
tauce. Deacon Davenport,” said Sylvester,
“this horse has had hard usage and been out
all night and is hungry. I think you mean to
keep him out of the clover by fraud. How-
ever. I shall not resort to violence. But I’ll
tell you one thing. Three years ago I had
I two pardners in the clam peddling and garden
:sass trade. I peddled. the clams and garden
track, an’ they furnished ‘em; an I never
askedwhere they got ’em. Well, what hap-
pened? We was doin’ a goOd business, and
aspired to social recognition, when all at once
—Sping! they catched one on _ 'em goin’
through a garden patch and t‘other bu'sgin
into a fish market.’l
“And now, Deacon Davenport,” continued
Sylvester, with a kind of tre'nulous defiance
. in his tone, “where are they? where air
they ? One on ’em's in New Haven jail and
.’other's moved to Sag Harbor. History’s
full of such examples, Deacon Davenporte
full of ’em; and all I’ve got to say is—B-e-
.v-a~i-r! B-e-w a-i-r l" ' .
This incident is the only thing that occurs
to us in the line Of precedents for Mr. 'I‘ilden's
remarks concerning his former associates, if
it be true that he intended them as a warn-
ing to the present Administration. The per—
;ons who are keeping Mr. Tilden and his
very hungry horse out of the clover are no
more likely to be moved by the story of‘what
became of the late leaders of New York dem-
ocracy than the good Deacon Davenpozt was
at Mr. Potter’s recital of the' history of his
“pardners.” No, no; it was only‘ a remin-
scence—nothing more. There are times
.vlien.“’tis greatly sweet to talk with our
past hours.” This was one of them.
How to Meet Trouble.
Troublefin this world are greatly aggrava.
ted, or greatly mitigated, according to_ the
spirit and resolutionwith which they are met
the cheerful, uncouiplainiug man,who meets
he ‘blow unflinchingly, and ' goes into the ,‘
vvorld to buffet itsgstorlns with a stout heart, "
gives strength and confidence toall connected
with ‘or dependent .upon. him, and at once
)rings to his aid thecontingent forces which,
here or less, surround every one whose life
Ias duties and responsibilities. The weak
Ind irresolute individual, on the other hand, .
:vho bends to the shock, and sinks into the
Iepths of despair, a feeble. wilting, unhappy
specimen of manhood, unresisting and help-
ess, will inevitably discourage and dishearten,
‘ I.“ who partake in its reverses, and by exam—
ple add greatly to the difficulties of the situa-
ion. The man of strength and resolution
seeks to conquer difilcultics—the man of fee-
)le purpose quails before them. And thus
we real characters developed, which, but for
nisfortune,would never have been understood
There is something noble and grand-in the
spectacle presented by a brave heart putting
orth all its energies and exertions in suppo t
-f those who love its possessor, and are loved
)y him ; and something sad and‘ pitiable in
-hat of the shrinking and sugdued individual,‘
.vho, with equal physical advantages, lacks
he will and courage to fight against adversity.
But in either case, humanity demands that .
hose who arerich and comparatively pros—
perous should assist in helping the victims of
misfortune out of their troubles; not neces-
sarily in charitable w0rks, for it is often that
the greatest snfieiers are those who are ta 0
proud to accept aid in that form, but by for-
uishiug employment whenever it is possible,
and by sympathizing with them, undencour-
aging them in laudable efforts. to reinstate
themselves. It will not - belong before ..tl;e
revival of businesswiil- greatly facilitate such
nu-asures of relief. Meanwhile, let us. help
each other, and have 'courage‘enough to held
ourselves also. ‘ - ' " *‘
