Major Brooks On The Wilson Strawberry. That the Albany Wilson Strawberry can be put on the market cheaper than any kind that is fit to eat is quite probable, but that is no reason why well-meaning people should be vicdmized with it. There are things that can be grown still cheaper, and are about as disagreeable, though it don’t readily occur to me what they are. By the concurrent testimony of all mankind strawberries and cream are good, and what is more, much more, they are fashionable for desserts, and for festivals. What is fashionable we will have, if it torments us to death. Here the mischief comes in. Wilson’s Albany isa strawberry. It is mortifying to acknowledge it, but it is un- doubtedly a strawberry. Its general infor— mation, and the plant it grows’upon, prove it to be a strawberry. Being a strabwerry it is admitteduint‘ogood society, as some people are _on account of relationship. The early Scarlet, the Hovey, the Hooker, the Triumph de Gand,’the n. Constant‘made a good name for strawberries and the Wilson circulates on that reputation. ‘ There is also reason to believe that it is abetted by a conspiracy of sugar dealers whose business is enlarged by it. Of course, being grown cheap, the growers will push it as long as they are allowed to, and mere conventional people, who eat berries because it is the fashion, and not satisy a discrimi- nating taste, will stick to the Wilson, while they are on the market. , I" ate them at a church festival. I wanted to help the cause and I was willing to spend my money,g—the handsomest girls and the best natured women were on the committee. Under these circumstances a fellow is in a- almost helpless condition—he sort Of moves invOlun- tarily. When it was intimated that I should listen to music, I listened; when anybody applauded, I clapped my hands ; if anybody said, anything for the cause, and when they gave me Wilson, strawberries I paid for another dish, and we ate them,——coVered them up with cream and sugar and ate them; but why in the name of humanity, can’t I have the sugar and cream without the Wil- son! I humbly and submissively ask that privilege in future.-—’-‘Ezchange. Hancock Seeking the Democratic Nomination in 1867. A PBOPmOY BY GARFIELD. In 1867 General Sheriden was removed from command of the military district of Louisiana and Texas because he was given to enforcing the reconstruction laws of congress and protecting all citizens in their political and civil rights. Hancock was appointed in his place because he would favor the ex. rebels in their lawlessness and persecution of the republican element. one of his masterly speeches, delivered J an— uary 17, 1868, made a most remarkable al- lusion to him, divining the motive which governed his course in those states, namely, setting his sails for the democratic nomination'for the presidency! It will be .borne in mind that it was delivered twelve years ago :—“Mr. Speaker, I will not repeat the long catalOgue of obstructions which he has thrown in the way by virtue of the power conferred upon him in the reconstruction law of 1867, but I will allude to one example where he has found in a major-general of the army a facile instrument with which more efiectully to obstruct the work of reconstruc- tion This case is all the more painful be— cause an otherwise meritorious ofiicer, who bears honorable scars, earned in battle for the Union,has been made a party tolp'olitical madness which has so long marked the con— duct of the President. This general was s‘ent into the district of Louisiana and Texas with alaw of congress in his hand, a law that commands him to see that justice is adminis- tered among the people of that country, and that'no pretense of civil authority shall deter . him from performing his duty, and yet we find that officer giving lectures in the form of proclamations and orders on what ought to be the relations between the civil and military departments of the government. We see him issuing a general order in which he declares that the civil should not. give way before the military. We hear him declaring that he finds nothing in the laws of Louisiana and Texas to warrant his inter- ference in" the civil administration of those states. It is not for him to say which should be first, the civil or the military, in that rebel community. It is not for him to search the defunct laws of Louisiana and Texas for a guide to his conduct. It is for him to obey the laws which he is sent there to execute. It is for him to aid in building up civil gOV- ernments, rather than preparing himself to be the presidential candidate of the party which gave him no sympathy when he Was gallantly fighting the battles of the country. " Exchange. i I Mrs. 'Hayes Opposed to Gossip. As so much is said and written about the temperance principles of our President's wife, I would like to present another phase of her character, as an example for the women of our land to follow. . - During an acquaintance with her for the last twenty—five years, I never heard her speak ill of any one. I once asked her 'how ,this came about, that she was so guarded in this respect,when I knew she was tempted as much as any ' of us to use her tongue to the detriment. of others. She said, in reply,thut at night, before going to sleep, her husband would say to her: “Now, have we said any. thing against any one to-day ?” I know this is entering the privacy of the home—circle of the long ago; but, as she is now in such a conspicuous place, I cannot forbcar to use my knowledge for the general good. She herself may never think of pos- sessing this trait, and may not remember this " remark ofgllers to me; but years have not efiaced it "fromqny mind. As one of the great evils of our day,among the women at least, is gossip and scandal, such an example from the first lady in the land cannot be too highly extolled—Inde— pendent. ' Among the names (being: discumed for the republican nomination for governor, in case the old ticket is not renomiuated, are those of Jeremiah Halsey of Norwich, Oliver Hoyt of Stamford H, B. Bi low of New Haven and WE, Eulkeley o Hartford. 3 .- Sam The Moral LOSSson of the Little ' boys in Burlington,” the little green apple General Garfield,in . 1, Green Apple. [From the Burlington Hawkeye.] “I just rolled out‘here from the grocery store," said3the little green apple as it paused on the sidewalk for a moment's chat with the banana peel; “I am waiting here for a boy. Not a small, weak, delicate boy.” added the little green apple proudly, “but a great big boy, a great bulky, strong, leather-lunged, noisy, fifteen-year-older, and little as I am. you will see me double up that boy tonight; and make him wail, and bowl, and yell. Oh, I’m small, but I’m good for a ten-acre field of boys, and don't you forget it. All the went on, with just a shade of pitying con tempt in his voice, “couldn't fool around me as any one of them fools round a banana" “Boys seem to be your 'game," drawled the banana p’écl lazily; “well, I suppose they are just about strong enough to afford you a little amusement, For my own-part, I like to take somebody of my size. Now here comes the kind of a man I usually do busi- ness with. He is large and strong, it is true, but—” And just then a South Hill merchant, who weighs about 231 pounds when he feels rigllt good, came along, and the banana peel just caught him by the foot, lifting him about as high as the awning post, turned him over, banged him .down on a potato basket, fiaiten- ing it out until it_ looked like a splint door mat. and the shock jarred everything loose in the show window. And then while the fallen merchant, from various quarters of the globe, fished his silk hat from the gutter, his spectacles from the cellar, his handkerchief from the tree-box, his cane from the show window, and one of his shoes from the eaves trough, and a little boy ran for a doc- tor, the little green apple blushed red and shrank a little back 'out of sight. covered with awe and mortification. ‘ “Ah," it thought, “I wonder if I can ever do that ? Alas, how vain I am, and yet how poor and weak and useless I was in this world.” But the banana peel comforted it and bade it look up and take heart, and do well what it had to do, and labor for the good of the cause in its own useful sphere. uTrue,” said the banana peel, “you cannot lift up a 200 pound man and breaks cellar door with him, but you can give him the cholera morbus, .aud if you do yOur pint the world will feel your power, and the medical colleges will call you blessed.” And then the little green apple smiled and looked up with grateful blushes on its face, and thanked the banana peel for its encour- aging counsel. And that very night, an old father, who writes thirteen hours a day, and a patient mother, who was almost ready to sink with weariness, and a nurse and a doc— tor sat up until nearly morning with a thir— teen year old boy, who was all twisted up into the shape of a figure three, while all the neighbors on that block sat up and listened and pounded their pillows and tried to sleep and wished that boy would either die or get well. And the little green apple was pleased,and its last words were: “ At least I have been of some little use in this great, wide world.” Views of George Willl;m Curtis. A Tribune reporter climbed the spiral stairway in 'the big building of Harper & Brothers recently and found George William Curtis in the editorial room. , In reply to a question as to his opinion of the nomination of Mr. Hancock, Mr. Curtis said: “It seems to me that it is a highly respec- table nomination, but not especially strong I do not see that General Hancock represents anything but the inability of the party to agree upon one of its prominent men.” "Do you think General Hancock will be acceptable to the East ?” “I do not see how he can be any more popular in the East than General Garfield General Hancock was a distinguished officer in the Regular Army, and General Garfield was a distinguished officer of the Volunteers. I think a distinguished officer of volunteers excites quite as much enthusiasm as an illus- trious regular ofiicer.” . “Do you regard General Hancock as a more available candidate than Mr. Tilden.” “Nobody could have less personal popu- larity than Mr. Tilden, but the general feel- ing of his ability, sagacity and experience made him a very strong candidate in 1876. He Would have made astrong candidate now, but he would not have carried the State of New_York.” _ “But do you think :that Hancock will be able to carry the State of New York P.’ “No, I do not. I see no reason whatever to doubt, that with the feeling of union in the Republican party, and the universal sat— isfaction with General Garfield 'as a candi— date, he will carry the State of New York against General Hancock. “Do you;regard the choice of the Demo- cratic Convention as the best one it could have made ?” “No. My opinion is that Senator Bayard would have been a stronger man, because he would have added the individual strength of areorganized party leader to the disposition to support any party candidate. I do not think that Mr. Bayard’s Southern tenden- cies would have repelled any of what is .called the independent vote, which belongs to neither party and‘ which went very gen- erally for Mr. Tilden in 1876. General Han- cock will prove as strong as anybody in the 'West‘ perhaps. And the Democratic party generally will fall in and support the ticket which‘has been chosen. I think, however, that the tréatment of Tammany in the Con- vention, indisposes that branch of the party to the zealous support of any ticket nomina- nated by the Convention. General Garfield would have defeated any candidate nomina- ted at-Cincinnati. I cannot see any reason why General Hancock should be stronger than General Garfield before the country, because General Hancock merely represents his party, and I don’t behave the country trusts the party.” .W——— The Two Candidates Compared. A Washington Correspondent of the Bos— ton Journal writes :—“It will be a contest," said an old West Pointer and Democrat, and friend of Gen. Hancock to-day, "it will be a contest between a West Pointer and a volun- teer soldier; between a man born in the midst of aristocratic surroundings,of a family of influence, and a man born among the people; betweena man who 1has been fed and educated by the Government and who is a mere soldier, though a man of magnificent valor, and a man who has fought his way to the front through hard knocks, and who has now a reputation-throughout the civilized world as an eminent statesman as well as a brave and distinguished volunteer ofilcer. And I say this with the greatest admiration for that true gentleman and brave soldier Ceueral Winfield Scott Hancock. But ’it is useless now to ‘ deny what will be apparent before the campaign has far advanc- ed, that the Democrats have chosen an aris- tocrat, and one who has always been an army officer, to contest for the great prize with a man who has risen from the humblest classes, who taught himself to read and write after he was sixteen years of age, and who has pushed himself by his own merits to the front rank, both asja citizen and a statesman.” This comment. by an old army ofiicer is the "kind of talk one lbears in confidential circles,and of which the people will hear, much before the campaign is ended. .___+..A..__._., . Gen. Durbin Ward an Ohio Democrat of considerable eminence and a soldier of good record, said at a democratic meetingat Cin- cinnati: ‘_ ; __ , “I donut mean to say. axword‘l derogatory to Gen. Garfield. I leave ‘that ’to others'. I do not mean to undervalue his military ca- reer; I remember full well that on the 120th day of September, 1863, when I was borne. on a stretcher from the field of Chicamauga barely able to speak, the last man on horse— back that I saw on the field as we retired. was Gen. Garfield, who 'had staid there when the balance of the sue of Rosecrans was “ _ e. idI’shall, therefore, never undervalue e . ’ Prof. Marks recently stated that he ihad made some calculations as to the maximum speed at which locomotive engines could be driven before the centrifugal force on the tires of the driving wheels would'become so great as to cause them to burst. These calculations which were. only approximate, gave a limit of speed in the neighborhood'of 150 miles per hour. Of this speed, 78 miles an hour, or more than half, has already been at- tained. Two alligators, the first specimens ever found in the old world, were lately captured in the Yang-tse-Kiang. A very simple model enables us to realize in some degree the vast size of the sun as compared with the earth. When the sun is represented by a ball of three inches in di- ameter, a minute ball of 3-100 of an inch in diameter must be placed at a distance of 30 feet'from it to represent the earth and its dis- tance from the sun. . Probably few persons while watching the light of the glow-worm or the fire-fly have failed to wonder and speculate as to its cause. A French naruralist, after a series of obser— vations, believes the glow-worm’s phosphor— escence to be due to an emission of phosphu- reted hydrogen gas. It is a popular sanitary error to think that the more a man eats the fatter and stronger he will become; to believe that the more hours children study the faster they learn ; to conclude that if exercise is good the more violent it is the greater is the tbcnefit; to imagine that whatever remedy causes one to feel immediately better is good for the sys— tem, regardless of the ulterior effects. De- fpite the advance of hygienic science these mistaken ideas remain,—a monument to the public apathy concerning health matters. - The Public Health Department of Germany has officially sanctioned the use of the follow- ing coloring matters in confectionery, etc. For white—flour and starch; for red—coch— ineal, carmine, madder-red, and the juice of carrots and cherries; for yellow—saffron, safflower, and turmeric; for blue—indigo and litmus; for green —-juicc of spinach and mixtures of the above blues and yellows; for brown—burnt sugar and Spanish juice; and for black—Indian ink. Near Beaver Lake, in the National Park of the Yellowstone, a recent party of ex— plorers came upon a remarkable mountain of obsidian or volcanic glass, which rises in columnar cliffs several hundred feet in height. It being desirable to pass that way the party cut a road by building huge fires on the glass to heat and expand it and then dashing the cold water of the lake against the heated surface—the sudden contraction thus produced breaking large fragments from the side of the mountain. In the grand canyon of the Gibson river the explorers also found precipices of yellow, black and handed obsidian rising hundreds of feet. The natural glass of these localities has from time immemorial been dressed by the Indians to tip their spears and arrows. Some experiments with various soils as filters for removing organic matter from water have shown that gravel produces little result, sand being much more effective in re- moving the impurities and fineloam forming a still better filter: The British Museum contains a wig which was found in a good state of preservation at Thebes, and is probably 3,000 years old. In selecting a location for a house, advises a prominent physician, make a note of the prevalent winds, that they be from the house towards all swampy and miasmatic localities and not from miasmatic‘ localities towards the house. Gelose is the most. valuable constituent of the substance known in commerc eas China moss. It has the property of absorbing and solidfiying into a colorless and transparent jelly five hundred times its weight of the water. With few exceptions, Australian trees are found to flourish as well in California as in their native country. Conversely, if is ex- pected that the native vegetation of Cali- fornia can be successfully grown in Aus- tralia, and that the crops which succeed in the one country are likely to do so in the other. The number of volcanoes discovered con- stantly increases with the progress of geo- graphical knowledge—-highly volcanic regions being found in the least explored countries. A von Humboldt enumerated 407, of which 227 were active. Several thousand are now known, and, according to M. Fuchs, tile number of active volcanoes knoWn at the present time may be set down as 323. It is difiicult to draw the line between active and extinct volcanoes, for the reason that the greater portion of the former have periods of repose, sometimes a century or more in length. The ancients considered Vesvius a harmless mountain up to the time of the great eruption of A. D. 79, when Herculaneum ' and Pompeii were buried; and it was quiet from 1306 to 1631—more than three centu— ries. It was recently remarked by Prof. Maud. sley that one striking featu're observed by medical men in cases of hallucination is‘ that the patients cannot be convinced that the Ob. jects they see, the sounds they hear and the smells they perceive have no real existence, and that the sensations received are the re sult of an excited 'state of their nerves. Hallucination often extends to but one sense, the person affected being otherwise in a per- fectly normal condition. It may arise either from an idea on which the mind has dwelt closely, or from excitement of the sensory nerves. It is said that Newton, Hunter and some others of equal eminence, could, at will picture forms to themselves until they ap- perred to be realities. ' _—_—_—‘—a.

(With is in the State uv Kentucky.)} July 10, 1880 In all ages uv the world dreems hev bin considered prophetic. Jon Bunyan yoosed the similitood uv a dream to portray the struggles and vicissitoods uv a Crischeu life, - and I alluz dreem when anything especial is agoin to happen to the dimocrisy. I differ from Bunyan in this: he didn't dream at all . but he writ ez the he did, while I actilly do dream. Last evening Bascom give a spred in honor uv the uominasbun uv Hancock, and ez the povender wuz free, and the liker likewise, I bed, for wunst. eggsackly all that my sys- tem cood hold, and my system is trooly a holder. Bein very full, I went to my couch, a troo dimekratic Bunyan, to dreem. In my dreem the presidenshal struggle took the very natural form uv a race. It wuz all regelar, the two parties trottin out seek a boss, the winnin post bein the White .house. ' The dimocrisy trotted out their boss, and I felt rather pleased on the hull. He come up prancin with a free sort uv step,and didn’t look ez tho he bed a blemish. Indeed he cum up so gamey, that I reely hed faith in his sucksess, tho the other boss had a winnin look about him, and cum of a stock that hez bin winnin for so long that they hev-anoshen that they can’t be beet. Our hoss wuz under the grooming of Sena- tor Wallace, uv Pennsylvany, and he wuz backt by the entire south and Tammany Hall, and also by scatterin polittikle sports from the other states. A “Now," sed Wallace, “everybody keep away, and don’t spoil this race by any cussid foolishness. I hev fitted this hoss myself. and of I ride him he’s sure to win. Keep cleer uv him and don't say a word." “Hold on a minit," sed a long-haired feller from Virginny, "we hev got to hev some assurances to jestify us in backing this boss," and he flung onto his back an enormous sack labeled “Looisiana administration,” and jumped on hisself to keep it'in place. “Jest a minit,” sed a Pennsylvany dime- krat, "He must carry this," and he hove on a package labeled “protective tariff,” and he climbed on. “He kin never run without this," sed :1 N00 Yorker, and he histed up a very heavy sack labeled “free trade.” Another Noo Yorker and a Massycbosits man, climbed up, each with a very heavy package uv honest money, and a Injeany man climbed on with an immense bundle uv fiat money. This had no weight, but it took up a great deal of room, and them which kerreid it made a great deal of noise. J ist store the start a gang uv Ku Kluk from Missisippy climbed on, and. despite Wade Hampton’s entreaties, a Seat Kerliily Rifie Club scrambled up,and ez cf that ,wuan't enufi John Kelly with the entire Tammany Society delibritly took seats on his back. Then came a gang loaded with “States Bites," and a Catholic bishop or two slided into seats jest where they cood hold thereins and Ten or a dozen confedrit brigadeers, wich woodcut take their uniforms off, climb- ed up, and a full .five hundred aoutherners with demands for appropriashens hung on to his tale. Senator Wallace remonstrated,but itwnzn't no yoose. - Every man uv emr'remarkt that ef the hoes coodent kerry him, wat kind uv a boss wuz it anyhow, and they all yelled “start him i" . The word wus given, the poor broot made a conclusive stagger, and immediately went down under the load that wuz put upon him.
