And the Organization which Threatens

Two Hundred Men with a
Chance to Turn Tranips.
From Our Own Correspondent.
New Yoek, July s.—Recalled from the con
templation of lesser subjects by the recurrence
' of the day tbe small boy celebrates, —and has
just celebrated ncrc with a vengeance,—the
mind of tbe ward patriot and ballot-controller
turns again to politics. The massive mind re
ferred to finds these to be already tolerably
mixed, with a prospect of becoming “pretty
quite 100 awfully wonderfully ” more mixed be
fore the fall election. On the one side there is
danger of too much organization, as on the
other of too little. The regular annual anti-
Tammany movement has been for some weeks
fn progress, and has publicly revealed itself on
two occasions. To counterbalance, report comes
of an Independent Republican Reform party,
which calls upon all the generally dissatisfied to
join in fighting tbe regular Republican organiz
ation. What this regular Republican organiza
tion is, and what it is to he under tbe new rules
of Civil Service, forms at present tbe most
important question in local and State politics.
The Custom-House, as is well known, has for
many years been identified with the Republican
organization in this city. The head of that
House has been the bead of the party; the em
ployes of that House have been the workers of
the party; and head and subordinates have paid
pretty much all the party expenses. What,
then, will be the effect of a rule which forbids
the Collector of Customs to be chief of
part}* managers, commands his subordi
nates to serve the Government in
its offices, not outside oi them, and
releases all from the contributions which have
been cquallyimpcrative and cursed? The satis
factory answer to this has to be made. “ Oh,
we shall set on somehow,” said a gentleman to
me the other day,—a gentleman who has in
formation when anv is to be had in political cir
cles. But how * That was the point he stopped
at; that bad not been determined upon as yet;
and 1 will give you some of the reasons why,
THE RUNNING EXPENSES
of an election here are something over $15,000.
This is not only an indispensable sum, but a
rather formidable one if there arc no Repub
licans ready to pay it. The Custom-House has
taken care of the matter hitherto, and, indeed,
has been obliged to. The rich Rcpublicaps,
who might be expected to put their
Bands in their pockets and do liberally for the
cause, have for the most part allowed the cause
to look out for itself. The Union League Club
is liberal enough ui speeches and dinners, and
all that sort of thing; but when it comes to
paying for tickets, and for men to distribute
the tickets, to say nothing of processions and
inspiring music, the members fail to recognize
the usefulness of these agencies, or say that
those who have something tangible to gain
ought to bear the expense of improving their
prospects. If the Union League politicians
think this statement too broad, tbclr
record is at hand. In one of the
warmest contests the party ever made in
this city, when the interests of the Uhpublicans
throughout the country were involved in the
result, what did the wealthy Republicans of this
city do in response to the urgent calls for mon
ey wherewith to push the campaign vigorously,
and meet in some manner, the flood of docu
ments spread over the State by a rich foci The
largest sum given by any of these gentlemen—
gentlemen, too, who had a prominent part in
every large public gathering—was S2O, and but
one or two reached this
HEIGHT OF GENEROSITY.
The man who cried most loudly lor reform, and
who regarded himself as the true liberal Repub
lican, gave S2O to aid in establishing the princi
ples he talked for constantly. And he may be
worth a little less than a million, but not much
less. '
There were others who escaped less easily,
and who had neither the honor nor influence.
The clerks in the Custom-House, with a thou
sand a year and seven children to feed, were per
mitted to equal the S2O, and glad if they got off
with that. Collector Murphy contributed him
self into bankruptcy. He was the man to make
up deficiencies; and thesewcrc more likely than
not to run as high as from SIO,OOO to $12,000.
To be sure he had a fat office, and was head of
the party, but the rate he paid for salary and
glory was a little out of-his due share, never
theless. Collector Arthur has done his duty,
also, though probably he has looked more
closely after the possibilities of the de
ficit column. Mr. Murphy was as free
with Ids money as be was ill able to
be so free—the common case the world over.
No doubt he would have still been generous, in
private, had the blessing of the present dvil
regulations fallen upon him, The question is,
, wnat course will the present collector take. His
word Is given, both publicly and privately, that
he will endeavor faithfully to carry out the
wishes of the President. As a dtizen, and one
who understands the political workings of the
metropolis thoroughly, his advice will be at the
service of the man who succeeds him as leader
of the Republican organization. But the Cus-
Vjm-iiousccau no longer be
THE PARTY MACHINE,
nor can it bo made to turn out wealth for elec
tion purposes. Friends of Collector Arthur
say he is heartily glad of the new order of
things; while as for the employes in the de
partments, they are jubilant. An exception is
be made, ol course, iu favor of those who
held their Diaces for the political instead of the
office work thev did, and who now live on the
edge of uncertainty, expecting to be included
In each reduction. But Jf Collector Arthur
docs not provide the election fund, whence is it
to come? That is what the working politi
cians, who have more zeal than means, arc
studying over, and what they have not yet
been able to dearly make out. The fact that
Acw lurk is so hopelessly Democratic a
aty is great reason for the apathy amon**
able Republicans. They tliink they arc
doing a great deal If they take the
trouble to vote; and indeed in some wards
it is considerable for a gentleman to visit the
polls. There is a constant tendency to stay at
home; and it is, perhaps, the hardest and most
important part ol a campaign here for the press
to so arouse the good respectable citizens bv
cither local or national pleas, that they will turn
out in mass and vote. The gentleman referred
to above said: “ Why, sir, if it were not for
the fact that the Senate which is to be elected
this fall will elect a United States Senator from
this State, I have not a question but the Demo
crats would sweep over us with 200,000
majority. They mean to work, nnd I
hope we do. As Simon Cameron
tays of Pennsylvania, and he takes the drift
pretty accurately,—the Democrats may not get
150,000 majority in Pennsylvania this year, but
they won’t get much less. The loss of the Cus
tom-House will be telt, of course; especially
felt because local politics have been left entirely
iu its care; but it will be the betterfor the party
i'i the end, here as well as everywhere else In
the country.”
As lor the new movement, which is styled
after the Ttlden pattern of reform, a fgw words
will suffice for the
ishkfeudest republican reformers.
Their only hope of gelling a following was
through the plea that the regular Republican
organization was opposed to President Hayes.
Their endeavor to create a furore on this point
has so far proved a lamentable failure. The
leading agitators are low politicians, with no
reputations to lose, and everything to gain,
This incident in the career, of one of the most
prominent and influential of them will suffice:
A ward politician of some influence, this per-,
son, who is now vainly for President
Hayes, was some years since* employed in a
Government position. He was likewise Chair
man of the Republican Committee in his dis
trict, A few days before a certain election, be
was arrested by a detective, and marched into a
room at Republican Headquarters, where mem
bers of tbe Central Committee were seated, and
where the following scene took place:
“Mr. , you have a check for $3,000 in
your'pocket, for which sum you have agreed
with the Democratic Committee tb carry so
many votes over to them on election-day.
Band out the check.”
The officeholder took in the situation, and
handed out as requested.
“ Now sit down and write your resignation as
Chairman of the District Committee.”
This was also done, without a word.
“Add to that your resignation from your
postal position.”
There was hesitation and pleading, but the
speaker was inexorable, and the. paper was
written.
“Now, get out.”
The politician took the hint. He has been
silent in local politics till the present lime.
His support of tbe President is one of those
evils no President can avoid.
TAMMANY’S NEW OPPONENT
threatens to be a more imposing enemy in one’s
own camp. There arc men of party prominence
represented in this movement, which has made
considerable progression. Tbe address adopted
at the last meeting set forth dearly the aims of
the organization, and was perfectly plain in re
spect to Tammanv, Gov. Robinson, and John
Kelly, who is in reality the same os Tammany.
The failure of the attempt made last fall to
combine tbe various bodies opposed to Tamma
ny in a united effort against that secret
society failed, *the address says, through
the irresistible prominence gtveu to national
issues. These will uot enter into the
coming election, and now is the time to strike
r Tammany on local issues and wrest the city
from her grasp. ,If it be true, as is claimed,
that such men as ex-Comptrollcr Green, Oswald
Ottcndorfcr,and ex-Ald. Clausen are not only in
sympathy with the move, but will work for its
success, therfi is a chance that Kelly will be more
ill than he was when Gov. Robinson refused to
slight Mayor Ely, The Republicans would un
doubtedly join in any honest struggle to elect
efficient and respectable city officials, and such
a coalition would leave Tammany in defeat.
What a hue and cry there would bcif thisshould
once, by any chance, be brought to pass! New
York would hardly know herself.
In the political letter published by you last
week, the special correspondent wrote of tne
proposed reorganization of the Commit
tee, and the better dass of Republicans who
were invited to ulaces upon it. This better class
numbers the very men who have hitherto re
fused to give monev, or to do the necessary
work. It is easy to talk of the curse of Federal
dictation, and the joy of good citizens at the
emancipation of Republicans from it; but it
may be well to remember that somebody has
bad to do the work and furnish the campaign
funds. As the better dass would not under
take the task, it was forced upon the office
holders, and, of course, if they paid
the bills thev proposed to make tbe
nominations. *As for Senator Conkling,
after all that can be said, he is a
power in New York politics still. Wnethcr this
is due wholly, as has been daimed, to his being
the controller ol the party “machine,” will be
proved on his return from Europe, and his re
entrance into active political service. Perhaps
he belongs to as good a dass as do Messrs.
Shultz and Roberts. If the Republicans of the
highest stamp will take up the burden now to
be laid down by\he Federal employes, andil the
best Republicans universally will rouse from
their apathy, attend primaries, ami do as much
work as theless good ones have, the advantages to
tbe party and dty must be great. The question
remains, Will thev? It is a good opportunity,
at any rate, to test those who have held aloof
and howled about Federal dictation.
OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.
The reduction of the force at the Custom-
House, however admirable an Administration
measure, has put many a poor man into a pil-
table position. The times arc about as hard, so
far as chances of employment are concerned, as
they were during the winter. Here are 200 men,
young and old, among the least competent of
the clerks, and consequently least likely to be
accepted in other places, suddenly deprived of
the salary which barely Kept them from hunger.
Tbey may not have earned the salary, and were
not needed if they did earn it; but that does
not alter the fact that they are now without
means of support, and without much
chance to obtain means in this city. Collectcr
Arthur, it is said, has been in a state of con
tinual siege since last Saturday. His house and
office are both beset continually. The men do
not And any fault; do not make complaints of
unjust treatment. They take the more distress-
ing method of portraying their condition and
the helplessness of their families. Some plead
ed as for very life, saying they had not dared
tell their wives of their misfortune, and were
reduced to stealing or hunger. Of course Col
lector Arthurian do nothing beyond private
charity; but be suffers as much nearly as his
besiegers do, and has to flee the city to escape
them. H. G.

TWO DRINKS.
Sere Tork World ,
The Brooklyn Eagle, in an article upon sum
mer drinks, alludes to the “John Collins ” as a
beverage made of “water, soured with lemou
juice, sugar, peppermint, and. a little old Santa
Cruz rum I” and adds that it “was named after
John Collins, an Irish actor of some repute!”
We really cannot allow the truth of history thus
to be trifled with, and we must protest against
such an interpretation of a venerable drink be
ing accepted anywhere outside of the slums of
Brooklyn, where we are not surprised that, if
concocted ou this recipe, it moves its devotees to
devour the substance of the widow and the Pres
byterian Church, to throw their wives out of
third-story windows, and to corrupt the virtue
of Xndipindint Aldermen. Soured water, peu
nermiut, sugar, and rum, forsooth! O shame,
where is thy blush? O blush, where is thy
shame? The “John Collins ” proper is com
posed of half a lemon squeezed into
a soda-tumbler (half-filled with pound
ed ice. :or not, as individual tastes
may dictate), a liberal wine-glass of Old
Tom gin,—Holland’s may be substituted when •
Old Tom is unattainable, but the result is neces
sarily inferior,—a bottle of soda, and a heaping
tablespoonful of powdered white sugar, last oi
all,—the compound to be drunk immcdiatelr.
It has a positive merry fragrance of what
Tennyson calls “the gin within the juniper,”
an enlivening effervescence, an electric tang,
said to be peculiarly grateful to the palate of
a womivs. When for the Old Tom there is sub
stituted Santa Cruz or Jamaica rum, the result
is a “Masked Battwy,” the significance of
which name will be apparent totbe philosophical
philologist, or to the individual who absorbs
several of them. This ambrosia was the inven
tion of the head waiter at “Limmer’s,” the
famous London hotel which passed out of exist:
ence last winter. His name and occupation
have been immortalized in verse:
Myifame is John Colling, head waiter at Limmet’s,
Comer of Conduit street, Hanover square:
My chief occupation is filling of brimmers
For all the young gentlemen frequenters there.
The drink speedily received- the approbation of
the officers of the British army, and is now
poured by them as libations to the rosv-fingered
Aurora from Aldersbott to Australia—“ E
ngland’s morning ‘John Collins, 7 ” in the fine
words of Webster, “ following the sun and cir
cling the world. 77 The beatific beverage was,
by the way, introduced into the United States
at the Clarendon, in this city, some twcntyyears
ago, by a very eminent officer of the Roval Ar
tillery, now retired upon his honors in London.
It is also to be regretted that the Eaglt did not
conscientiously devote itself to its subject and
explore that wealthy and illimitable wilderness
of summer-drinks whereof Sir Isaac Newton
feelingly said: “I feel like a child gathering
shells on a seashore. 77 We may introduce to its
attention a drink as yet unnamed, the creation

reasons for concealing his identity as had the

rat-hunting snakes.
Some mouths ago a gentleman from Hum
phries paid a visit to a friend of his in the town
ship of Beverly, Canada, a Mr. Henry, and re
mained with him several days. During his visit
the Humphries gentleman complained that his
house was literally Infested with rats and mice.
He had tried every device to get rid of them,
and all had failed. Mr. Henry, who is as in
genious as he is fond of sport, declared that ho
could battle the rats out of his friend’s cellar in
less than no time, to use his own expression.
Next day the two drove to the gentleman’s
house in Humphries. Mr. Henry took with Win
a common quarter-gross match-box pierced with
a few holes, which he carefully placed under the
seat of the buggy. The Humphries gentle
man, feeling that his friend was going to give
him a surprise, probably wita im
provement on the ferret, asked no questions,
the better to enjoy the surprise wnen it did
come. Arriving at the house thev had dinner, and
after the ladicshad retired Mr. Henry placed the
box on the table and removed the lid. In au
instant from the box leaped u full-grown garter
snake, measuring three icet and a half in length.
Tho reptile, which was highly excited with the
heat, reared itself almost on tbe extremity of
its tail and glided about the table with remarka
ble rapidity, licking its ghastly jaws with its
forked and* nimble tongue. The Humphries
gentleman shrank back into the corner almost
petrified with horror- Mr. Henrv showed how
sill v this was by taking the snake upon his arm
and handling it much like a hack-driver would
handle his whip-lash. Finally his fears were
overcome, and when he had composed himself
he Jed his friend into the cellar, where the snake
was sot at liberty. The reptile immediately
darted for the wall, and the uext moment dis
covered a hole, into which it glided with
the greatest ease. An interesting terrier
stood at their heels, and both gentlemen held
clubs, which were trumps just about then. The
snake bad not disappeared over a minute before
half a dozen rats bounced out of tlie hole and
met a terrible fate at the hands of their enemies
ouisklc. But the snake was not satisfied; it
discovered every rat-bolc in the cellar, and glid
ed in and out among the rocks where even a rat
could not have gone. It was finally taken up
and placed in a box after twenty rats and al-
most as many mice had been killed. The snake
belongs to a" black-garter family, which are in
reality the best Inend the farmer has. They
live exclusively on the Held mice, worms, dies,
and other vermin, and, if they occasionally glide
across the path of a human being, their lives
should be preserved, as their good qualities
counterbalance these defects. The one pos
sessed by Air. Henry was caught by him last
summer m a pea-field, and since he has hail it
uo rats are to be seen or heard of in the neigh
borhood of his house.— Exchange.
GRANT AT GUILDHALL.
IITi U eh all Rerlete {London), June 03.
I must tell you the true story of Gen. Grant’s
reception at Guildhall. Everything had been
beautifully arranged,—as we know it always is
arranged in the city,—but the spirit of the Jet
totoriwas in the air, and the “reception” of
the great man was just no reception at all.
This is precisely wliat occurred. About half an
hour before he was expected Gen. Grant ap
peared in the flower-decked corridor leading to
the library, in which the presentation was pres
ently to be made. The Lord Mayor had not arrived,
—was not due, in fact, for some time. Stand-
ing at the foot of the staircase near die library,
dose to the door leading into the Guildhall,
was a little group of Common Counellmen—
Mr. Bedford, 1 think Mr. Rudkin, and perhaps
half a dozen other grave and reverend seignors.
You will suppose that the sudden apparition of
Gen. Ulysses, Mrs. Grant, Air. and Airs. Sarto
ns, Mr. Vicrrepont and Mrs. Pierreponl,with no
Lord Mayor to welcome them, would have had the
effect ot flustering this little knot of Common
Councilors. You will also imagine that wit
nessing the excusable and perfectly natural em
barrassment of the distinguished visitors, the
little band of officials went politely forward,
greeted the General and his wife, the American
Minister and bis wife, and Air. Sarcoris ana his
wife. Of course, 1 regret to say, they did
nothing of the kind, but permitted the visitors
to remaiu.standing in the corridor for several
minutes. The great Mr. Harker presently ap
peared, bent, I loudly hoped, knowing his cour
tesy, on explaining to the General the reason
why the Lord Alayor was not there to receive
him. But no; cither the General was too much
for Mr. Barker, or the magnificent sash and
glittering stars of that gentleman were too
inucli lor the General, for neither of these truly
great men exchanged a word with each other.
After several minutes spent in this embarras
sing manner somebody mustered up sufficient
courage to ask the General and his party to
“walk into the parlor;” in other words, into
the aute-room attached to the library. They
gladly did so, and thus ended their “reception.”
MAGIC WITH TWO MASTERS.
There was a comical encounter between two
noted professors of magic in San Francisco a
few evenings since. Heller, fresh from the
East, casually dropped into an evening exhibi
tion given by a rival magician named Cazcncuve.
When the latter illustrious conjurer invited
some of the audience to step upon the stage and
enter the dark cabinet with him, Mr. Hellc.*, who
was entirely unknown to his confrere, immedi
ately ascended the platform and was ensconced
with him. M. Cazcneuvc ou these occasions
beats drums, blows fifes, unci fires pistol-shots
close to the ears of his companion, and, as u
general rule, scares him half out of Ids senses
by the imposition on his head of spirit hands
and other supernatural demonstrations. He
also makes a practice of abstracting the watch
of his victim, which is presently discovered se
creted in the pocket of one of the audience,
who is, of course, overwhelmed with
confusion at being apparently de
tected. On this evening, however,'the’ interest
of the performance was considerably enhanced
by the circumstance that while Cazeneuve re
moved Mr. Heller’s watch from his pocket, the
rival magician spirited the dapper little French
man out of the cabinet altogether, and thereaf
ter removed himself also to the street outside.
Mr. Heller then, using his extraordinary powers
of ventriloquism, threw Ids voice right across
Bush street to the stage of the theatre, and
gave, iu Cazcneure’s voice, the word to draw
open the cabinet curtains. The gentlemanly in
terpreter who assists M. Cazeneuve'obeyed the
command, and, with the audience, was aston
ished to find the interior uutenanted, whilst
Heller and Cazeneuve at the same moment
floated through the ambient air from the upper
part of the house on to the stage. Air. Heller’s
watch simultaneously disengaged Itself from the
pocket of Senator Sharon in the stage-box, and
advanced with loud ticks ot welcome to meet

AX ECCENTRIC TESTATOR.
A case, unprecedented in the annals of the
English probate courts, has just been amicably
settled, whereby the will of the testator has
been declared invalid and the estate divided be
tween the contestants. The testator, Mr.
Bethel] Walrond, left estates to the value of
SOOO,OOO to a complete stranger, disinheriting
his son and heir at law. Mr. Walrond had not
seen his 'Fife orson for twentv-three years, and
was in the habit of sleeping under a eauopv of
funeral plumes. His bed resembled a cata
falque hung with black, trimmed with white
garlands. All round the heavy corners of this
bedstead he had human skulls ingeniously
fixed with springs and wires attached, so that
when he pulled a string all the skulls chattered
and jabbered together. Mr. Wulrond’s pecu
liarities aid not end here. His three
children were known as devils one, two,
and three, and he was not contented with so
calling them, for be burnt in their appellations
on their backs with lunar costic. One of these
children, whose Christian name was Augusta,
he always spoke of as “Augusta cub.” She
died at Nice, but Mr. Walrond believed her soul
was transformed into that of her favorite dog
“Bob.” He kept the bodies of his child and his
dog, shrouded and cotllued alike, in a large
room hung with crimson until his death. He
had a genial habit of kuouting his son and heir
at-law with a thong of gutta-percha heated.
This son he considered to be tue brother of
“Tinker,” another favorite dog. Indeed, the
testator himself believed In the transmigration
of souls, and was quite sure that his would eu-
ter into a dog; therefore he petted all sorts of
dogs, not being quite sure which was animated
by the soul of his grandfather. His house was
a sort of Bastflc, surrounded by a wall fifteen
feet high, to prevent the mother from entering
or even seeing her son.

One day last week an alligator was seen
swimming in Sampit River, near tne wharf.
Capt. David Steele’s bulldog was soon brought
forward, and, upon viewing the enemy, plunged
off the wharf to meet it. .The ’gator saw what
was up, and made for the dog. While they ap
proached each other, not a sound could be heart,
from the spectators, who were expecting, tbe
moment they meU to sec the dog submerged,
never to rise again; but the dog got tbe first
hold, plunged his ugly teeth in the head of the
ferocious monster, and caused it to sinu. it
soon reappeared, looking as fierce as ever. Tne
dog and the alligator were soon mouth and
mouth, nip and tuck, until it was thought that
the dog had conquered, the alligator disappear
ing. The dog, being exhausted, was then picked
up by a boat. The’gator, however, soon ap
peared, and made for the opposite shore. Sev
eral persons got in boats and pursued him until
he got under the wharf, when one of the party
fired a pistol, and as soon as the report was
heard the dog leaped from the bout and under
the wharf. It wasuipand tuck again for awhile,
but tlie dog, soon gaining the advantage,
brought out his foe dead. The reptile measured
live feet and several inches.

ABOUT THE FLY,

When a Congress street woman answered the

“ Madam, can I sell you some fly-paper?”
“ Docs the paper fly ?” she asked.
“No, ma’am; but it makes the flies fly.”

continued.
“Every fly, madam ”he was
when she called out:
“ I want you to flv! I can get along with
flics better man with agents!”
•* But 1 am not on the fly,” he softly pro
tested.
“Our dog is,” she grimly replied, and so he
was. He Hew around the corner, the aircut lieu*
for the gate, the roll of fly-paper flew over the
curb, and a newsboy climbed a tree-box to be
out of the muss, and shouted:
“ She flew, thou lliest, he Hied; and I believe
the dog trot a piece of meat with that coat

A GEXTI/EMAXI/T MAX.
A quiet aim gentlemanly farmer, a man re
spected among his neighbors, among whom he
had lived for two year’s, while plowing in bis
held last week, at Shreveport, La., was set upon
by a Sheriff and posse and at once secured. 11 e
was unarmed, and had no possible chance of es
cape. He said: “Gentlemen, I know what
3'ouwant. lam tire man.” The reason why
he guessed so readily was, as he immediately
confessed, because he had killed thirty-two men
at different times in Texas. He said he came
near killing another man two days before he
was arrested,-and he was sorry he hadn’t, as it
would have saved him from capture. After he
was delivered to the Texas Sheriff he invited
the Louisiana official and his posse to come and
see him hanged. They said they would be very
happy to do so.— Exchange.
BEECHER TIXiTOX.
yew York Letter to Philadelphia Ledger.
There have been some whisperings of late over
in Brooklyn that there was to be, ere long, a
grand reconciliation of all the parties to the re
cent suit of Tilton vs. Beecher. The story goes
that overtures to that effect have been made by
a party authorized to act for the pastor himself,
thctonly motive on his part being the Christian
obligation to forgive our enemies. The story
further goes that similar overtures have been
made by parties friendly to Theodore Tilton,
and that the negotiations have proceeded so fa
vorably that the reconciliation will probably be
accomplished upon Tilton’s return from Europe,
whither lie goes witn Ills tiro daughters on Sat
urday next. It Is also understood that Mrs.
Tilton is to be a participant in the reconciliation,
and this will lead to the restoration of her
broken home.
AMERICA TO ENGLAND.
OS* CES*. chant’s reception-.
Dedicated to Ify Good Friend, D. P. Hutchiif-m -Si 7
of Chicago.
When War's red wrath, like tempest’s path, with
desolation swept them.
Thy children bold. Great Albion old, from ram
pant Lion reft them.
Less loved they not that glorious spot for which
their Sire* had battled,
Hut Freedom more, on laud and shore; and so load
cannons rattled.
That sons of Sires, true manhood-tires, should
hold with Sires’ devotion
The legacy our Fathers free bud borne across the
ocean.
A hundred years their hopes and fears bothNatlons
since nave rounded;
Full many u knell, or joyous bell, to both through
these bath sounded;
But no such peal our hearts did feci os this from
'cross the ocean.
When Gran Jrst trod on British sod, and British
hearts flew open.
Our Hero True we seut to you—his hand you’ve
grandly taken:
In doimr so. Old England, know each Yankee heart
you’ve shaken;
For Grunt we love, ns yet wo‘ll prove—Our Grant
through years go fateful,
Who stood, like rock, ’gainst battle shock:
Republics can be grateful.
We're child of thine; like faults entwine the tree
that each hath planted.
We both are prond—one of old blood, the other
that transplanted.
Bat still, to both, the World, though loth, must
yield the palm of Freedom;
One treasure gave her slave’s to save; the other’s
blood hath freed them.
“3fy glory’s thine, and thine is mine, 1 * we both
can say most truly.
If both can love as saints above, each ie at times
unmly.
Then why repine, and longer whine, when War her
wings nath furledr
Let us unite; then, Might's despite, we both can
whip the World.
When demagogue gives mem’ry jog, these new
formed ties to sever,
Let patriots true despise the crew, and swear’tla
peace forever.
Our Hero True we sent to you—his hand you’ve
grandly taken:
In doing so, Old England, know each Yankee heart
you’ve shaken;
For Grant we love, as yet we’ll prove—Our Grant
through years so fateful,
Who stood, like rock, ’gainst battle-shock:
Republics can be grateful.
Old flag, deep red with blood of dead for thousand
years expended.
May thy rich folds, that Freedom holds o'crEuropc
still suspended.
Forever save, on land and wave, Old England's
homes from spoiler.
Thy crosses, too, red, white, and blue, those signs
of Satan’s Foiler,
With stars so true, ia field of blue, forevermore
be blended.
* * Let us have peacefrom strivings cease, where
strife Is really ended;
For hast thou not wiped out last spot of Cain-like
blood between us.
Since, Grand Old Land, you shook the hand that
from defeat did screen us?
i why not let each land forget all in the past
did sunder?
Chief now hears loud British cheers, not
British cannons' thunder.
Our Hero True we sent to yon-—bis hand yon've
grandly taken:
In doing so, Old England, know each Yankee
heart you've shaken;
For Grunt we love, as yet we'll prove—Our Grant
through years so fateful,
v\ ho stood, like rock, 'gainst battle-shock: ’
Republics can be grateful.
