mm •* . REMINISCENCES OF PCBLIC MEN. »X BEN: PERLEY POORS. , The counting of the electoral vote on QIE 2<1 day of February, 1877, at­ tracted crowds to the House of Repre- Hentatives. Even the diplomaten came oat in force, for once their gallery was fall. On the floor of the House were many distinguished men, including George Bancroft, Mr. Stoughton, of New York, crowned with A mass of white hair, Gen. Sherman, William M. Evarts, Jere. Black, and Lyman Tram- bull At 1 o'clock the Senate came over in solemn procession, preceded by the veteran Capt. Bassett, who had in charge two mahogany boxes in which were locked the votes npon which the fate of the nation depended. Next came President pro tern. Ferry and Secre­ tary G-ordon, followed by the paired Senators." Boscoe Conkllng, tall and distinguished in appearance, was arm in arm with Aaron Sargent, the Cali­ fornia printer; Bruce, the colored Mis- sissippian, was with Conover, the Flor­ ida carpet-1 mgger; the fair Anglo-Saxon checks of .Tones, of Nevada, contrasted strongly with the Indian features of Gen. Logan, and finally came Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana. President pro tern. Ferry, in a theatrical bass voice, called the convention to order, and after stat­ ing what it was convened for, opened one of the lioxes and handed an envel­ ope to Senator Allison, with a dupli­ cate to Mr. Stone, It was from the State of Alabama, and on being opened, ten votes were recorded for Samuel J. Tilden, of New York. State after State was thus counted until Florida was reached, -when the majestic Dudley Field arose and objected to the count­ ing thereof. A brief discussion; ensued, and the Senate return PD to its chamber, preceded by the locked boxes, which were nearly empty. When the count­ ing was resumed objections were made, and the result hung fire. Meanwhile the electoral commission was at work in the old Senate chamber, and everything was vague and uncertain. Every little while some rumor was started, and those who heard it were elated or de­ pressed, as they happened to hope. But the great mass listened with many grains of allowance, knowing how easy it is at all times for all sorts of stories, utterly without foundation, to get into the public mouth. The obstructionists found that they could not accomplish their purpose to defeat the final an­ nouncement, - but their persistence was wonderful. They were desperate, reck­ less, relentless. Fernando Wood headed, in opposition to them, the party of settlement and peace, his fol­ lowers being composed in abont equal parts of Republicans and of ex-Confed- erates, who turned their backs on the 'Democratic fillibufiters. Finally the count was ended, and President pro turn. Ferry .annotmc&i 1&4 vales for SAMUEL J. TUTLEU -AMT IK 5 votes for RUTLUAVTORD 1>. Haves. Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, acci­ dentally made a national reputation as the humorist of the House of Repre­ sentatives, but really he was a matter- of-fact, serious lawyer. He was rather undersized, with a broad forehead, un- combed gray hair, a small gray mous­ tache, and rather dull eyes. He made his reputation as a wit by his speech on Duluth, which was delivered late one afternoon, when he was & member of the Forty-Second Congress. It had been a dull day, and when he com menced his badinage the members orow4«<L Lira to listen, the news­ paper reporters leaned over their gal­ lery to hear every word, and the fame of the speech went abroad. His argu­ ment on the national debt, which pre­ sented the extent of it, illustrated in a whimsical manner, was a more carefully prepared production, but not so popu­ lar. Gov. Knott, for after leaving Con­ gress he was elected Governor, did not possess a quick-flowing fountain of humor, but with him it was a matter of thought, elaboration, and study, which lie was rarely disposed to exercise. He is also a good caricaturist, and his humor finds readier expression with his pencil than with his tongue. Congres­ sional humor has been well said to be a rare gift, and those wlirf possess it seem in some measure ashamed of the endow­ ment, and always straining after a rep­ utation for solid learning or respectable dullness, flinging aside the rapier which they CAN handle with perfect mastery, to accept a clumsy battle-axe which they cannot swing. Sam Cox was the only representative in latter days who would use his humor in debate, and when he arose to speak the House would listen, and men would yield to ridicule who had steeled themselves against invective. Gen. Grant's administration was not a success. The strength of the Repub­ lican party, which might with a careful, economical, and strictly honest admin­ istration have been maintained for a generation, was frittered awav and its voters alienated by causes so notorious and disgraceful that they need not be recapitulated here. The once noble IF&rty, which had its genesis twenty ye&rs ago.in the great principle of the restriction of human slavery, and which had gone from TRIUMPH TO triumph un­ til slavery '*'*9 NO^ ON^J restricted destroyed, the party WMEN bad added the salvation of the tTnion to its fame as the emancipator of a race, had sunk under eight Y<?ARFE of Grantism to a condition humiliating to behold. Un­ der the COMBINED effects of general ex- travaganee.\ inflated currency, and looseness OF appropriations growing out of the the country saw millions ab­ sorbed in illegitimate expenditure, offi­ cial favorites enriched at the expense of tlife people, and high places in office given-to political bummers and men ut­ terly unfit for public trusts. A kind of carnival of political money-making and speculation had set in. Congress by its /flMfcislation aided in blowing the bubble. The cities of the country began to be covered with costly marble palaces, each involving fat contracts to be paid for by public- taxation.' A ring was UREU JJLD with sovereign power to im­ prove the District of Columbia, under whom a debt of $25,(MX),(KM) was piled up in about two years, bankrupting the District and throwing the debt upon the shoulders of the people^ of the country. There were revenue frauds, custom-house extortions, pension swindles, and Indian sup­ ply steals without number. The gr^at whisky rings of Chicago, St. Louis, and other cities made hay while the sun shone, and.with such honor as proverbi­ ally prevails among thieves, paid their regular and liberal contributions into the campaign treasury of the party. Meanwhile the President, who, though himself honest, had a f&tal incapacity to .discern dishonesty in others, had con­ tinually abont him all the most suspi­ cious partners or advocates of the rings. The people grew weary of the pro­ tracted mismanagement of public busi­ ness. and ill spit;1 of the real danger of going further and faring worse under a Democratic aim migration, came witliiu an ace of turning the Republicans oat of power and installing the Democrats ill their room. | ' 2 AHnsbfutd'S ^MFERT.^T^ V There is not a wife living who would not resent being told that her womanly nature, her true self, was being destroyed undermined by a too intense and absorbed devotion on the part of her husband; that she was daily losing womanly strength and force, and rapidly Incoming a clog and impediment to her husband's progress, because of his indulgence. We hear a great deal said about the selfishness of men, but un­ biased observers will have to admit that a great proportion of the selfishness that escaped from Pandora's 1K>X found refuge in the hearts of women. Look about the world and see if you do not find as many husbands victims of a wife's nerves, headache, or back­ ache, as you find wives sacrificed to a husband's sins or weaknesses. Men'S acts of selfishness are more apparent, as a usual thing; they are more flagrant. Woman's selfishness is more insidious. A liuslmnd'S comfort is wholly depen­ dent on a wife. If she chooses to re­ venge herself for any inattention or de­ privation, there are thousands of petty ways open to lier that a man would scorn to use. The writer calls to mind A pretty, girlish wife, who was excess­ ively extravagant, and who had a most devoted husband. Sitting with a party of ladies one day when the subject of ma naging husbands was under discus­ sion, she shook a pretty golden head, and with a merry laugh, said: "I manage better than any of yon : when Sammy don'T do just as I want him to, I go to bed and stay there till he gives in." There was a burst of protests, but the young woman went on with perfect calmness: "You know last week you all thought I was ill. I. wasn't. I wanted a hundred dollars for my spring dress and bonnet; Sammy, would only give me fifty; but I tell you he was glad to give me the other fifty to get me up. Pd have stayed there until now, if he had not." And she looked around with an air of triumphant pride. There are few women who re­ sort to such methods--none worthy of an honest love; but are there not women who assume a cold, reserved, constrained manner if they are deprived of an indulgence or liberty, women who re­ sent, perhaps unconsciously, any control over actions or ependitures'? Few wives or children stop to think how little, comparatively, of a hus­ band's or, father's income is expended on"himself alone. The major part is devoted to home and its dependent in­ mates. This financial abnegation is accepted as a matter of course by these at home and abroad, and the world makes a butt of the man who does ofh:-»rwiso; but' surely. AHE deepest de­ votion ahould be given in return from those who, are benefited by it."*-- The Domestic Monthly. Common Sense. : There is no endowment more valua­ ble, yet nothing more undervalued than common sense. It is not an ac complisliment that the. schools can give, for it is no uncommon thing to see persons destitute of it, whos;> education, as far as books and competent instruc­ tions C.tn avail anything, has been faultless., . We cannot possibly define the term, for lexicographers themselves have been at war on this point, and failed to give the true meaning. It has been defined by some as our lowest rational possession, but if the lowest, it is very far from being the most general. \Ve are told lnR another that it is "the instantaneous conviction of unperv^rted reason." This definition is better, and goes to prove that it is an instinctive something independent of habit or edu­ cation, a natural impulse that the lat­ ter has not the honor of developing. Our great "Unabridged" thinks it is an obsolete something long since out of date. Well, it is a pity it is, if this worthy authority be correct, for we certainly need it more in our daily in­ tercourse with men and in our varied business relations than we do A thor­ ough training of our mother tongue, or an initiation into all the intricacies of the babbling tongues of earth. The value of sound, common sense has ever been appreciated by the wisest and most dee]) thouglited in every age. Our greatest scholars, those who have been distinguished in the departments of art and science, have unfortunately been wofnllv deficient in nvanv in­ stances, in this "lowest attainment"-- common sense. It is true they possessed a. rare and full amount of special knowledge, but how to utilize it to the most effective general good and interest they KNEW not, as tliey were often lacking in this same decried quality th at would render their knowledge a blessing the m- Al. --Haiti-selves and the morean. world as W" The Little Boy aiid^Hie Hermans.

When you are old enough to go to germans you will be wise enough not to know any­ thing. You will rise to the fact that a girl is not to be judged by her muscle;, that she may indulge in laughing gas, but doesn't care who discovered it, that she hates white mice, that, in short, she doesn't waut to know any­ thing and doesn't want you to L>e wiser.

"I reckon moru'n like you would," said the man of the house, as he passed the hominy. "It's a powerful fine coun­ try, and if a man hain't.lazy or too bull- headed to learn the wrays with us, he's bound to git along middlin' fair." "The great attraction to me," said the stranger, "is the sociability and lack of ceremony I find among you." 'Yes, there is right smart of that, for a fact," replied the farmer; " 'Hjieahly in corn-shellin' time." "From what I have seen I should say the shams of society are almost un­ known here" "I don't s'pose you could find one with a gun," said the father of the family, wiping his mouth on his shirt-sleeve. "We've been here about ten year now, and I never saw none myself, as I mind of, though the Gribbs boys did scare up somethin' in the holler last fall that they couldn't just make out, but it got away--um?" "I find a refreshing simplicity of man­ ner among the people that is never ob­ served in the older States." "I reckon it's on account of the wind; but la, you don't mind it after yon git used to it a bit. It used to bother me, too, like all burdock, but I never mind it no more, and I don't lie- lieve you would after you'd been here a spell." "I never found such freedom from re­ straint anywhere as I've seen here, and I teil you I like it." "Two Mires is enovgh, if they're well stretched, and the posts hain't too fur apart." "If a man wants to go to church in shirt sleeves, and feels more comfort­ able in doing it, there's no good reason why he shouldn't." "Well, I should rather hope not." "But you couldn't make them think so back with us." "Well, I'll be gilswithered." "Appearance counts for everything there, and a body might as well be out of th'-^vorld as out Of fashion."

Disappointment of Mr. Seward. Mr. Seward was popular among his neighbors. On the day when the Chi­ cago Convention was to ballot for a Presidential candidate Cayuga County poured itself into Auburn. The streets were full, and Mr. Seward's house and grounds overflowed with his admirers. Flags were ready to be raised, and a loaded cannon was placed at the gate, whose pillars bore up two guardian lions. Arrangements had been per­ fected for the receipt of intelligence with unwonted speed from the scene where the battle M as proceeding. At Mr. Seward's right hand, just within the porch, Btood his trusty henchman, Christopher Morgan. The rider of a galloping steed dashed through the crowd with a telegram and handed it to Gov. Seward. He road it and passed it to Morgan: For Seward, 173^; for Lincoln, 103, and for other aspirants, 18tH. Morgan repeated it to the mul­ titude, who cheered vehemently. Then came the tidings of the second ballot: For Seward, 184$; for Lincoln, lsl, and for others, 9i>l. "I shall be nom­ inated on the next ballot," said Sew­ ard, and the throng in the house ap­ plauded and those on the lawn echoed, the cheers. The next messenger from the telegraph office lashed his horse into a run. The telegram read: "Lin­ coln nominated. T. W." Seward turned pale as ashes. The sad tidings crept through the vast concourse. The flags were furled, the cannon was rolled away, and Caynga County went home with a clouded broM\--Buffalo Express. .
