When Mr. Greeley was in California,
ovations awaited him at every town. He
bad written powerfnl leaders in the 2W
bune in favor of the Pacific Railroad,
whioh had greatly endeared him to the
citizens of the Golden State. And,
therefore, they made much of him when
he went to see them.
At one town, the enthusiastic populace
tore his celebrated white coat to pieces,
and carried tbe pieces home to remem?
ber bim by.
The citizens of Plaoerville prepared tc
fete the great journalist, and an extro
coach, with extra relays of horses, wai
chartered of tho California Stage Com
pany to carry him from Folsom to Placer
ville, distance forty miles. The extn
was on account delayed and did no
leave Folsom until late in thfe afternoon
Mr. Greeley was to bo feted at 7 o'clock
that evening, by the citizens of Placer
ville, und it wa3 altogether uecessar
that he should be there by that hour
So the stage company said to Henr;
Monk, the driver of the extra: "Henry
this great man mast bo there by 1
o'clock, to-night." And Henry ac
swered, "The great mau shall be there.
The roads were in un awful state, an
during the first few miles out of FOIBOI
slow progress was made.
"Sir," said Mr. Greeley, "you ar
aware that I must be at Plaoerville 1
7 o'clook, to-night?"
"I've got my orders," laconically n
turned Heury Monk.
Still tho coach dragged slowly forwan
"Sir," said Mr. Greeley, "this is not
trifling matter. I must be there at 7."
Again came the answer: "I've got rx
orders."
But the speed was not increased, ar
Mr. Greeley chafed away another ho
hoar, when, as he was again about to r
monstrate with the driver, the hors
suddenly started into a furious run, ai
all sorts of encouraging yells filled t!
air from tho throat of Henry Monk.
"That ia rig lit, my good fellow," BS
Mr. Greeley. "I will give you ten di
lara when we get to Plaoerville. Now 1
aro going!"
They were, indeed, and at terril
speed.
Crack! crack! went the whip, and age
that voice split th's air: "Git np! hi
g'loug! yip-yip!"
And on they tore, over ruts and stou
up nud down, ut a rate of speed nc
before achieved by stage horses.
Mr. Greeley, who had boen bounci
from ouo end of the coach to tho otb
liku an India rubber bal), tnauaged
get his head out of the window, and sa
"D-n't-ou't you-u-u-think
-e 8hull get there by 7 if wo d-n't
so fast?"
"I've got my orders." That was
Henry Monk said. And on tore
aoaoh.
It was besoming serious. Already
journalist was becoming extremely s
from the jolting, and aguin his h
might have been seen at the wiudow.
"Sir," he said, "I don't care-are
if we don't get there at 7."
"I've got my orders."
Fresh horses-forward again, fa
than before; over rooks and stumps,
one of which the coach narrowly esce
turning a summersault.
"See herel"said Mr. Greeley, "I d
care if we can't get there at all."
"I've got my orders. I work for

At Mud Springs, a village a few 1
from Plaoerville, they met a largo de

come out to meet the celebrated e
and escott him into town. There y

Monk. "My orders don't say ni

AM ' IMPARTIAL OPINION OF A FOUL
?SLANDER.-Mr. Thomas Nast returns in
this week's number of Messrs. Harper?'
Weekly to the jackal habit of desecrating
graves. He has drawn a caricature,
ooarse in every respeot, representing
Horace Greeley clasping the hand of
Wilkes Booth aoross the grave of Lin?
coln. All caricatures, to be effective,
must have a basis of truth; this one is
utterly untrue. No mau would dare pre?
tend that Mr. Greeley ever did, or now
does, regard that aot with uny feeling
but execration; then, if he fraternizes
now with thu spirit of that act, ho does
it by accepting the Baltimore nomina?
tion. But thc act of Booth was not the
act of the South; thoy who approved it
wore few, and no mau believes-what?
ever his first thought ut tho timo muy
have boen-that the great body of the
Southern people had any sympathy with
Booth. To supposo that the people of
one-half of tho Unitod States are assas?
sins in disposition, is simply monstrous,
and this caricataro proven too muob, if it
proves anything, for if to extend the
hand of reconciliation to the South is tc
grasp tho hand of assassins, there can be
DO safety in a political or business union
with such a people, and we arr, remanded
to discussion at onoe, which is not what
Mr. Nast's party prefers to seek. As tc
the appeal to the baser passions, the at'
tempt to revive the hatreds of the wai
years, the pulling open of old wounds
which is manifest in such shameful pio
tures as this, whoever does not nt firs
sight of them feel a touch of indignatioi
will hardly appreciate them us they are
lifter careful interpretation. The sub
title, "A Journal of Civilization," ap
peering abovo such a picture as this
may bo taken as unconscious irouy, am
it is a disgrace to the United States tha
a publication containing such a defile
ment should go forth to foreign coun
tries. The pages of the Financier ma,
be searched in vain for any advocacy o
Mr. Greeley's cause, and we are, there
fore, the more free to say, that if thi
caricatare may be taken as representin
the disposition of the Grant party
hardly any greator calamity than it
success could befall the country.

leave his convent and take a wife. AU
this, we fanoy, is quite irrelevant, and
M. Loyson's long epistle has an air of
vanity about it which does not comport
with the circumstances. It would have
been better had he quietly gone off and
married without pnblioly apologizing for
the fact; bat better even than this course
would it have been had he consulted the
pagos of Pundi, before taking the fatal
step of matrimony. Io tho colnmns of

when the blood becomes corrupted the whole
system becomes corrupt alao. To relieve Que,
the true policy undoubtedly ia to direct the
remedy to the source ot the di soaso. It is in

the blood; it purifies it, vitalizes it, and expe'a
all distemper from the ayatem.
Being free from violent minerals, it ia adapt?
ed to general nae. The old and young may
use it; the moat delioate female, at any time,
may take it; the week and enfeebled will be
atrengthened by it; the tender iufant, who
mav have inherited disease, will be cured by
it.
For Syphilis, and ull ita tra?na of evils, it ia
a euro autidote.
