it is in evidence that cipher dispatches were
read to Mr. IIavemcyer as a blind, and
really seat to No. 15 Gramerey Park.
A few dispaiclms were sent to Mr. George
WISinitli either at No. 15 Gramercy Park or
‘r'all street, but he was Mr. Til-
den’s confidential clerk. Two or three were
sent to M. H. King, a clerk of the democrat-

Mr. Smith M. Weed, a person trusted then“
and ever since by Mr. Tilden in his most con-
fidential work, and selected by him only last

Baltimore to get the money, which he had
rtq'icsted to have sent to that city in three

Par... into this: "0.130. that $50,000 in cash
should be paid for the. vou: of one republican
member of the board, or his assent to a court
decision preventing the casting of airy elec-
toral votes by the republican electors of Flor-
ida. Gramercy Park authorized the payment
of the $50,000, but the order strangely delay-
ed in transmission, arrived too late.
This was reported by Mr. Marble and Mr.
Woolley to Gramercy Park on Monday, De-
cember 4. There is evidence that an~ imme-
ttiate‘aud frantic effort was made to buy a
republican elector in Louisiana. The testi-
mony of Judge Levisee, as to the proposal
made to him, and by him refused, will not
be forgotten. But Gramercy Park sought
other and cheaper solutions of the problem;
An arrangement was made in South Caro—
line. by which it was hoped to secure a dem-
r'atic majority in both branches of the leg-
isiature, to declare the republican electors
not lawfully chosen, and to imprison them
separately so that they could not meet on the
day required by law, and to create by legisla-
tive authority new electors who would vote
for Tilden. To this end $20,000 was needed
for the purchase of enough members to make
a democratic quorum in both houses, and
Gi‘amercy Park was asl-L id to supply half that-
suin, or $10,000. On December 4, the very
day tire failure in Ibridt was kiiown,authcr-
ity was telegraphed to use that amount of
money, but he required votes could not be
had in seas-en, and that scheme fell through.
Meanwhile Patrick and Kelly had tele-
graphed as early as November 28 that they
could get the Governor of Oregon to appoint
Cronin, but must purchase “one republican
elector to recognize and act with him" (Cro~
nnd for that purpose wanted $8,000.

It was amazing to them that Gramercy Park
was so slow in answering. The delay cans-
cd inanite vexation and hard swearing and
in the end caused defeat of the arrangement,
i:‘,i:idet.l, it had ever been possible to pur-
chase the clce‘ter needed to recognize Cronin’s
vote. lint we now see that Gramercy Park
was waiting all that weary week, first, to
hear from Marble and learn whether ‘fialf
liu drcd best lfnited States documents" had
done the work in Florida; second, to hear
from Loiiisanna; third, to hear from South
Carolina whether $10,000 had sufficed to buy
legislature and imprison the lawful electors.
Not until December 0, the very morning of
thehnal vote, was tliedispatch sent:

When that dispatch arrived, it was too late
in Oregon also, and Gramercy Park lifted up
its voice and began to howl about “the great
fraud."

A RUNAWAY AND A DIvORCE.~——A curious
divorce suit now on trial in Bridgeport in-
troduces plenty of romance with the old
moral against runaway matches. Miss Eliz-
abeth Adams years ago lived in Syracuse, N.
Y. She met clandestinely one Charles E.
Hill, who soon after went as clerk to China.
She kept up a correspondence with him, but
her parents (lid not know she even had his
acquaintance. One day she started on a
journey with her mother, but got left at a
way station and disappeared. She was not
heard of for a week, and then came a letter
that she had sailed to marry Mr. Hill. The
ship was wrecked and for fifteen days
she was LJSSBtI about in ancpen boat. Final-
ly she was rescued, and married-Hill. Now
she mice for adivorce after all that she has
endured to get her husband. She came
home twice after marriage, and in 1809' her
Chinese servants were the wonder of Syra-
cuse. Of recent years Mrs. Hill has been
traveling abroad. Not long ago at Bridge-
port she filed a bill for divorce on grounds of
adultery. He heard of it, and being very
rich, wrote to a Maine friend to give her
$75,000 if she would make it a quiet separa-
tion. Subsequently hearing that the. affair
had become public be {reduced his offer to
$35,000. His friend called at the Sterling

Art Afl’ectation.
It taki s a strong stomach to stand all this
modern babble about “Art,”—-to see people
of “culture” paying a thousand dollars for an
imitation Japanese vase who would not pay
ten cents for a photograph from Leonardo,
or five dollars for a cast of one of Barye’s
lions. Today it is “art” and “decoration;”
yesterday it was the oil mania; the day be-
fore it was “Boston Unitarianism,” whose
“pale negations” Emerson, in his latest
:essay, treats with Emersonian scorn. It
‘takcs, we say, a strong stomach to stand the
art aflectation of these days; and yet it is
worth while to stand it, for-it means, here
and there and as by accident, opportunity
for the genuine artist—and the greater his
individual opp )rtunity for the education and
for the display of his genius, the stronger
and wider will be the reaction upon the pub-
lic of genuine appfieiation and good taste.

Shooting Oyster Dredgers.
From the Baltimore Bulletin, Oct. 11.
The shooting of oyster-dredgers by the
State Police is getting to be altogether too
frequent. If the dredgers are engaged in
violating the law, that is no excuse for mur-
dering them. The commanders of the
Oyster Police boats seem to imagine that
they have perfect liberty to shoot all the
oystermen whom they have reason to suspect
are engaged in illicit “dredging," without
putting themselves to the trouble of over-
hauling them at all. By “overhauling” we
do not mean merely ordering them to heave
to, and then, if they refuse to do so, crip-
pling them by a fusillade. The Oyster
Police should either be provided wrth vessels
fleet enough to overtake the dredgers, or else
they should retire from the contest. if,
having caught ,up with the dredgcrs, the
latter should show fight, it is their time
enough to resort to fire-arms. The shooting
of Capt: Lutz yesterday by the crew of the
Police boat Mary Compton appears from the
published accounts of the affair to have been
entirely inexcusable. Capt. Clements, of
the Police beat, it is said, ordered the
dredgers to heave to. The latter not com-
plying he ordered a volley to be fired, and
Capt. Lu'z was shot. The wounded“ man
now lies in Chestertown Jail. Capt. Clem-
ents, however, so far as we are informed,
has not yet been arrested. The Oyster
Police seem to regard the 'dredgers as pirates,
to be shot down and murdered on the slight-
est provocation. As a matter of fact, the
dredgcrs are men pursuing a 'legitimate
calling, and have as much right to protection
as the rest of our citizens. Whenever they
are apprehended in wrong—doing they should
be punished, but the Oyster Police have no
moral right—even if they have the technical
permission of a questionable law—to kill
them because they cahnot overtake them by
swiftcr sailing. We have yet to learn that
the punishment for stealing a few hundred,
or perhaps a few dozen bushels of oysters, or
for refusing to heave to at the command of a
Police Captain, I8~dCfltlL

Blasting Rocks ‘WIflr Dynamltc.‘
successful farming oferfitarr, the proprie-
tor of Echo Farm, near Litchfleld, Cone.
The fell'owiug account of his experiments
with dynamite in removing rocks and boul-
ders is taken from the proceedings of the
Connecticut State'Board'of Agriculture:
“1 know but little about it (dynamite) L‘X‘
ccpt from results shown on my. fields. A
Mr. Parmclee, who makes it ,is this business
to blow up rocks with dydamiitet ~ passing my
place, I asked him? to experiment in one of
my 139109. Which; [proposed to clear of rocks.
There was a large number. of. Esuch as could
not be blasted with powder, and I. asked him
'what he could do. I said, ‘I want you to ex-
periment, fund If you entirety zine I will let
you work’for a dayldr’tmdf Itpointed to a
Rock 103; feet long, 5,],- feet wide, and nine or
ten inches thick; such a rock as would be
difficult to.' blast vvith powder. I took out
my :.watch,--:and- in 72:.- minutes the rock was
in atoms. I'directe'd him to another larger
rack, a shallow one, and be destroyed it in
about the same time. I then set. him at
work during the afternoon, and I was so
pleased with the result that day that I allow-
ed him to work 21 days on my farm, for
which I paid him $80. Itook care to have
as fewiof mymen with him as possible, for
fear of accident. I am free to say that the
srmc number of men, judging from the ex—
perience I have had in blasting for six years,
could? not have done-inn month what he did
in 2.1,- days. That answers the question as to
whether it pays. It is worth going miles to
see that field. The 'stones- were shattered
and crumbled to pieces, so that what was
deeme'd'a 'very‘ditfi‘cult field to clear is now
comparatively an easy one, because I can
draw off the loose stones much easier than
rocks weighing many tons.
“The action Of the dynamite was remarka-
ble. A large white quartz rock, very hard
to drill, was next pulverized by dynamite.
The first blast threw the large rock from its
bed to the surface. That rather disappoint-
ed a number of gentlemen looking on. He
then put a cartridge by the side of the rock,
and adhered it to the rock by two or three
shovelfuls of mud. Powder would have
blown off the mud, but the dynamite so
shattered the rock that I could pick it to
pieces with my frauds. The pieces weigh
from a pound and less to ten pounds. The
difference between powder and dynamite is
this: In blasting with powder you drill the
rock, but with dynamite you drill the
ground. My rocks may not be harder than
other rocks, but they are much harder than
my land. The operator makes a hole under
the rock, and all he wants to resist that (lis~
charge is a litte water, which, if he can get
it underneath, he does not want any earth to
back up. It is the instantaneous discharge
of this agent that shatters the rock. Powder
you must confine, but with dynamite the
discharge is so sudden that it shatters the
rock to pieces. The rocks were not thrown
as far as by powder. I was so well pleased
with the results of the dynamite on this field
that I . set the man to work on three large
rocks inranother field, which I had thought
of getting rid of by powder. Trenches were
dug under these rocks by my men, from ten
to eleven feet in depth; so you may judge of
the size of the rocks. The discharge was to
take place at 12 o'clock, and quite a crowd
assembled to witness the scene. The rocks
were throwu but a little distance, but were
completely shattered."
Mr. Webb inquired, “Would the stone be
suitable for building wall?" Mr. Starr rc-
plied. “A majority of the stone would not
be fit for building wall, as dynamite destroys
the stone to a much greater extent than
powder does."

Mothers and Wives who are
worthy of our Esteem.
We might go on multiplying indefinitely
the types of foolish or mistaken women ; but
we may also multiply as indefinitely the
types of the true—those loving, noble-heart—
ed, brave and strong, but feminine women
wuu uu uut’ tuiuK-uuty a (regretiatron nor the
virtues of unselfishuess and devotion a sign
of inferiority——womcn who do not desire
direct personal power, and who have no
coarse personal ambition, but who are con-
tent to exercise influence felt rather than
seen, and to be useful and real rather than
showy and notorious. There are women
enough of this kind still left among us to
keep society sweet and homes pure ; else, if
the majority were fast or foolish, masculine
or frivolous, we should soon have to deplore
the decline- of our national boner and the
extinction of our national virtues. For if to
men has been assigned the task of making
the world intellectually great and materially
prosperous, to women has been given that of
keeping the moral standard high, of refining
society and influencing those who rule to the
better and the gentler way. There is a sex
in virtue as in all the rest; and in spite of
the new code which would run men and
women into one ethical mould, the stronger
virtues will always belong more to the one,
while the sweeter and gentler and purer are
the property of the other. How many
beautiful women there are l—and how much
they have in them to be loved and respected !
Take the most familiar, because the most
essential, type of all—the faithful wife and
devoted mother whose life is passed in, the
holy and tender charities of home ; who has
been her husband's helpmate and is her
children’s best friend; who has lived for
love and duty, and‘in others not for herself;
who has kept the family together when,
perhaps, without her they would have split
asunder; who, if they have been poor and
struggling, has made the best of things ;
been cheerful when the pinch was hardest,
and brave to bear when danger was close at
hand; or, if they have been wealthy, has ad-
ministered wisely, striking that happy_ mean
betwcen liberality and extravagance which it
is so difficult to hit. Take such a woman,
the fulfillment as she is of the best form of
feminine life, and does not the whole world
instinctively 7worship her? Almost every
great man of whose youth we know anything
owed much of his future glory to the wise
counsels of a faithful mother; and nothing is
more significant iii-the biographies of our
modern heroes, no matter in what direction
their heroism has shown itself, than the
frequency of the mother‘s name and the
acknowledgement of what was due to- her
early influence. And is it nothing for women
to be the mothers of great men and of noble
women ? is it small honor to give a Savior to
the world ? to have built up out of her own
life the life by which the destinies of humani-
ty are shaped and influenced for all time?
Usually when we cry out against our ill-
luck we are unconsciously arraiguiug our
inadequacy for the battle of life which the
great majority of us must always fight.
They who have inherited weak constitutions
physical or mental, whom accident not
to be forseen or avoided has worsted have
cause to cemplain of adversity; but gener-
ally they are less inclined to complain than
persons of sound health and the full average
of fortunate experience. These are satis-
‘fied to succumb before they have struggled;
to surrender the-contest before they have
waged it; to say that they are unlucky
they diminish their resolution by feeding
their tendency to despondence, and make
an excuse to themselves for some future
non.perfOi'mance. Even good Capacities
they weaken steadily by confidence in their
ill-luck, which grows from continued faith
in its cxistance until it over-shadows and
unnerves both will and characters. The best
way to get rid of the incubus of ill-luck Is to
reuse one's self vigorously. The oppressive
dream is banished by awakened consciousness
of in‘dividuality and force—N. Y. Times.

The oldest Christian Hymn.
In Book III. of Clement of Alexandria, is
given (in Greek) the most ancient hymn of
the primitive church. It is there (150 years
after the apostles) asserted to be of much
earlier origin, The following version will
give some imperfect idea of its spirit:
Shepherd of tender youth,
Guiding in love and truth,
Through devious ways;
Christ. our triumphant King!
We come Thy name to sing
And here our children bring
To shout Thy praise.
Thou art our holy Lord !
The all-subduing Word,
Healer of strife!
Thou didst thyself abuse!
That from sin’s deep disgrace
Thou mlghtest save our race,
And give us life.
Thou art wisdom's High Priest !
Thou hast prepared the feast
Of holy love,
And in our mortal pain
None calls on Thee in vain ;
Help Thou dost not disdain—
Hclp from above.
Ever be Thou our Guide,
Our Shepherd and our pride,
Our staff and song.
Jesus, Thou Christ of God!
By the perennial word,
Lead us where Thou hast trod;
Make our faith strong.
So now, and till we die,
Sound we Thy praise on high,
And joyful sing.
Infants, and the glad throng,
Who to Thy church belong,
Unite and swell the song
To Christ our King.
John Burroughs on Cows.
From Scribner for November.
All the ways and doings of cattle are
pleasant to look upon, whether grazing in
the pasture or browsing in the woods, or
ruminating under the trees, or feeding in
the stall , or reposing upon the knolls. There
is virtue in the cow; she is full of goodness;
a wholesome odor exhales from her; the
whole landscape looks out of her 80ft eyes;
the quality and the aroma of miles of mead—
ow and pasture lands are in her presence
and products. I had rather have care of
cattle than be keeper of the great seal of
the nation. Where the cow is ' there is
Arcadia; so far as her influence prevails
there is contentment, humility and sweet,
homely life.
Blessed is he whose youth was passed
upon the farm, and if it was adairy farm
his memories will be all the more fragrant.
The driving of the cows to and from the
pasture, every day and every season for
years—how much ofgummer and of nature
he got into him on these journeys! What
rambles and excursions did. this errand
furnish the excuse for. 4 The birds and
birds’ nests, the berries, the squirrels, the
woodchueks, the beech woods-'-.vvith their
treasures.into which the cows loved so to
wander and to browse, the fragrant win-
tergreens and a hundred nameless adventures
all strung upon that brief journey of half a
mile to and from the remote pastures. Some-
times one cow or two will be missing when
the herd is brought home at night; then to
hunt them up is another adventure. My
grandfather went out one night to look up
an absentee from the yard, when he heard
something in the brush and out stepped a
bear into the path before him.
Every Sunday morning the cows‘must be
salted. Tire farm boy takes a pail with
three or four quarts of edema salt and, fol—
lowed by the eager herd, goes to the field
and deposits the salt in handfuls upon smooth
stones and rocks, and upon clean places on
.the turf. If you want to know how good
salt is, see acow eat it. She gives thettrue
saline smack, How‘she dwells upon it and
gnaws the swat-d and licks the stones where
it has been deposited! The cow is the
most delightful feeder among animals. It
makes one's mouth water to see her cat
pumpkins, and to see her at a. pile of ap-
ples is distracting. How she sweeps :off the
delectable grass! The sound of her grazing
is appetiizing; the grass Ibetrays all its
sweetness and succulency inpattihgtrnder
her sickle.
Indecision of Character.
01 the many causes which hinder men from
attaining success, indecision is undoubtedly
one of the most potent. Without any deter-
mined course marked out for themselves,
youth launch out into the great ocean of life,
depending more upon chance than any fixed
laws whereby a definite result may be obtain-
ed. Thinking to day, perchance, to amass a
fortune through some particular chan nel,they,
tomorrow, easily alter for some other. So
they pass their lives, continually varying,
always discontented with the present,and ever
looking to the future for brighter day's,which
their indecision does not warrant them to ex-
pect. How many men there are who, if set-
tled in their purpose to obtain a livelihood,
would ultimately be crowned with success.
How many old men who, if they had not so
lightly and so frequpntl y changed their voca~
tion, would be now in the enjoyment of every
comfort, whereas their latter'days are embit-
tered by want and their home the work-house.
It is the blight from which no one is exempt
that “man shall earn his own bread by the
sweat of his brow.” Such being the case, let
us not be over-fastidious as to the nature of
the employment. We were not placed in this
world to enjoy an endless paradise, but to
prepare ourselves, by honest lives,for endless
bliss. If we feel dissatisfied with our lot——
which, in fact, we all do, the king as well as
the beggar—let us nobly and ma'nfully endure
it, and console ourselves with the pleasurable
reflection that seen, very soon, all our toils
and troubles and privations will have an end.
Let: us try not to divest ourselves of the
weight Providence has put upon us. What-
ever our condition in life let us discharge its
duties, and if we calmly submit to the Crea-
tor’s good will be convinced that our days
will be more happy and less troubled than if
we seek day after day an easier means of of-
taining that from which we shall be shortly
and eternally separated—Money. Be deci-
ded, then in youth, what course you will
pursue throughout life. Do not, without
sufficient reason, deviate from it, and though
you should not become a distinguished man,
yet rest assured your lifewill not be fruitlesr.

The Ohio Gerrymander.
The redistricting of a state offers an invi-
ting field for the exercise of the politicians’
ingenuity. Ohio is the latest state to be
manipulated, and the job has been done with
neatness and dispatch. Basing calculations
on the Presidential vote in 1876, when the
republicans carried the state by nearly eight
thousand majority, it is found that the in-
genious Ohio democracy have so apportioned
these voters that twelve out of the twenty
districts would return democratic represents.
tives. ,Small gains which the democrats
calculate upon would give them two or three
districts more, while a majority of the whole
number of votes cast in the state might still
be republican. The republican votes are
wasted in the fourth and seventeenth dis-
tricts, where ‘ their majority in each case is
over six thousand, and in the nineteenth,
where they outnumber the democrats by
nearly twelve thousand. To all appearances
then, the decider-ate have so arranged mat-
' ters that unless some great and'un'expected
change Occurs in the sentinieiits of the peo-
ple of Ohio, the state, will be demoCratic in
the House' of Representatives, whether or
not the democrats poll a majority of the
whole number of votes cast. In certain con-
tingencies the vote of the Ohio delegation in
the House will be. an absolute necessity to
the democrats. It isvamong the political
“probabilities” that the curious rte-district-
ing of the state will cause eatenSIve‘Inigra-
