LAtlanta Journal, ebruary :.] Grover Cleveland w: s in Atlanta to day and ne%er before was Itere such a recept-i.Qn given to a leader of i he people. There was n4preparat-on. no time to get up ban, of music and flags and banners, not ejven time to notify ail the people of his co.4ning. But when the strain rolled into the depot fully ten thcusand people surged about the car in w,bich Mr. Cleveland was travelling. ThL. blowing of locc motive whistles and (the ringing of bells announced the approa--ch of the traiv. B*id street bridge waN packed with a livingMas. As the tra in passed un der the vidge a cannon , fired a salute There wre already i ve thousand people about be depot, witho I-ad been waiting for nealv half at., hour, and thousands more ru,ed dw%%-' ihe street towards the depot whiMerain came in. if E G REAT OVATION. Whe sident Grover Cleveland visited Atlanta in k87 the people gave him a grand ovation. .The reception to-day was no less granv. Uppn his first visit the people paid homage to t he Democratic President-of the United States; to-day they honored him as a Democratic leader, and a man whom the Democrats of the country can still admire and trust. Wben the train stooped in the Union depot there arose its for "Grover Cleveland," an<. .aen he appeared upon the front platform of the sleeper the people just fairly went wild. If he had been a king the ovation could not have been greater. GOVERNOR NORTH EN SPEAKS. Immediately in front of Mr. Cleve land stood Governor Northen. When the crowd became quiet Governor Northen said: "It gives me profound pleasure, my countrymen, to present to you Ex President Grover Cleveland, of New York, a Democrat who puts principle above policy-a Statesman who has convictions and dares to assert them He declines t-> speak, but will be glad to shake hands with this vast multi tude. Let us give three cheers ftr Gro ver Cleveland." SHAKING HANDS WITH THE 'EOPLE. As soon as Governor Northen con eluded his remarks Mr. Cleveland took a position upon the lower step of the coach, where all could see hini, and held out his band. In an instant there were a thousand hands held up to grasp the hand of the champion of tariff reform. Of course all could not shake ands at once, and there was a rush and a push for the first greeting. One of the first to give Mr. Cleveland a hearty handshake was Judge George Hillyer. Judge Marshall J. Clarke was not far behind. The most promi --, nent and the best citizens of Atlanta were ':iere and they were going to shake : rover Cleveland's band, crowd -or no crowd. INCIDENTS OF THE GREETING;. A little child's hand went up, and to prevent the child from b~eng mashed in the crowd, Mr. Cleveland caught the little fellow up in his arms and a passed him through the coach. One old man held up both hands and cried out: God bless you, sir; "give mue both of your hands at once!" of the United States," cried cut an en thusiastic Democrat, and the iron roof of the depot fairly rattled when three cheswent up. To this Mr. Cleve land took off' his hat. A gen:leman pushed forward through the crowd and presented Mr. C'leve land with a large striped stick of candy, and exclaimed: "Take this to Baby Ruth!" Mr. Cleveland put the. present care ..N. fully away in the blenst pocket of his coat. YVERYBRODY WANTED TO SEE HIM. The crowd kept growing larger and larger, and by thbe time Mr. Cleveland had been shaking hands ten minutes the Union depot was packed f.mi en e end to the other. Everybody wanted to see him, if thiey couln't get naur enough to shake with him. They climbed upon the tops of trains ini thbe depot, :nd soon every available site was takeni up. Mr. Cleveland looked around upon the great concourse of people; and he espied a little girl in her father's arms waving her handkerchief. It must have made him think of Baby Ruth. He took~ otT his hat and bowed to the little girl, while there was just a suspIcion of tears in his eves. TH E TRA N MOVED. - In order to give every body a chanice tsee Mr.. Cleveland the coach was moved out of the depot and across to Whitehall street. Mr. Cleveland stood upon the platform of the coach, and as Fhe passed the thousands of upturned faces shout after shout wentup. F The Kimball IIouse wicdowvs and a S1large line of carriages in Wall street were filled with ladies who waved itheir handkerchiefs. From Whitehall ?to Pry~or street there was scarcely standing room fur the people. The coach moved back into the depot, and the crowd becamie greater than ever. "Speech'!" "speech:" came from a thousand voices. "Say just a word or two to us." "We must have a speech." And Mr. Cleveland had to speak. With a wave of his hand the great crowd became quiet, and Mr. Cleve "GeemI lenien, I have reftued your G.,verni.r anid every application Which hs been made to nme to address you, but it takes a man with more back bo.e thau I am said to possess to with staud your deniands. [ Long continme d applause. 1 "I cannot let this cordial greeting and this manifestation pass without expressing to you my thanks and up previation of your hospitality. "I started on a trip for pleasure and my movements have been as private as possible, and your abundant expres sions of cordiality surprise me, and I shall go to my Northern home more than ever impressed with the know ledge that you endorse such of my public acts as have affected Vou. [Ap plause.] "If I should speak longer to you I should tremch upon publie questions, and as such a diseusion would beout of place here I bid You good bye." [Chers.] FOR OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. Some one in the dense crowd then yeled "Th-ee cheers for our next Presi dent," and the yells that followed startied even the gentleman ;eferred to. Thou some one in the crowd yelled "Three cheers for Baby Ruth," and if Baby Ruth could have heard them she would have held up her tiny chubby bands and crowed for joy, for they were given wit'-:n lume and a will that shook the very rafters in the old ear shed. After shaking hands with a few more Mr. Cleveland descended from the car steps aid stood talking to Governor Nortben. - GOJEANOR NORTHEN'S NEPHEW. "I have a nephew namevd 'Grover," remarked the Governor, and Mr. Cleve land smiled and thanked him. It was suggested that Mr. Cleveland go to the rear platform of the train. where the crowd could approach him to shake hands without fear of passinrg trains. As he reached the platform a gentleman walked up and said: "Mr. Cleveland, I have shaken your band once, but let me shake it again." "Then you are a repeater," was the remark of our Ex-President as he firm ly grasped the gentleman's hand and gave it a hearty shake. "Don't listen to the Constitution!" said one, as he shook Mr. Cleveland's hands. "Hill's boom is dead," said another. "Hurrah for the Journal!" said some ne. " Cleveland ninety-two!" yelled a gentleman w)ose beaver had been crushed in the crowd. "COME AGAIN." "Come back again, and come often," was the cordial invitation of many who approached the rear end of the car. "Take this kiss to Ruth,'' said a gentleman, as he wafted a kiss from the tips of his fingers. "Yes, kiss her for me, t3o," said doz ens of men in the crowd. "Hey, Gro.'ey," said a very small boy as he gravely shook the Ex-Presi dent's hand. At a quarter to 1 o'clock the t.rain pulled out of the Union depot. As it was leaving the crowo. gave three cheers for "our next President." At Calhoun street the train stopped to let Gov. Nortbhen and his party of. TH E POPCLA R YOICE. While the crowvd was pressing and surging, t-yin'g in every way to get a glimpse of MIr. Cleveland, and, if possi ble, to shake his hand, it was interest ing to hear the remarks that fell from the enthusiastic Democrats. One tall man, evidently from the country, with a voice like a fog-horn, yelled out, "He's our manm! Ain't he a whopper!" An old gentlemian, who had pac:ked imself snugly in a protecting corner, said: "This is a remarkable scene. it is a spontaneous tribute from the peo pe, and it is this way w herever that man goes." 'A strugging citizen, who had yelled hi mnself hoarse, hadl b'reath ennoughi left to say: '"The pol iticianms ain't ini it. Thie people are here." Some of the last u ho shook hands with Mir. Cleveland gave ex pressions to their enthusiasmi in such words as "We are with vou!" "They can't side track you!" "God bless vou!" etc. One said, "Let tme :'hake for myv wife:" A t this MIr. Cleveland smiled and sho''k the profl'ere'd hand with marked cer Mlany who could not reaci MIr. Cleveland held out their hands aun '.ave expression to their heartf?lt weicomie and admniiration. INCID[EN'TS 0' Tit F OVATION. When the train was pulling out an enthusiast icDemocrat cried out: "Gtood bye, and God bless you, Grover ('leve land: everybody in Atlanta is for you, excePt the C'onstituition." MIr.

It must be admitted that however sincere Governor Tillman and the present, Aobuinistration were in their professious of reform in the beginning of their management of the affairs of the State that thir offices have caused them to lose the confidence of many who were. their warmest supporters, and the acceptance by Governor Till man of a free pass from the railroads, whom he had charged with "bambooz ling and debauching" former State officers and menimbers of the Legislature, and the returi of his property for tax ation far below its market vilue and withholding information from other taxpayers of the State in regard to the extension of the irne for paying taxes, while he was himself taking advan tage of it by not paying his taxes, makes him a sulject of criticism, and justly, too, for no Deniocratic Gover nor has ever been guilty of like oflen ces.

ATLANTA, (a. Ja.tary 1.-A negrr teanister named Boydl has been arrested aln! h:s confessed that he caused the acident on the Western North Caro linla (ivision of the Richmond and Danville Railroad last September, in which twenty persons were ki!led and many others hurt. The railroad offered $10,004 reward for the capture of the train wrecker. Detective H.oney went to work and learned that Boyd had left a package containing $1,010 and valuable jewelry with a man at Statesville. With the aid of this man Byd was led to con fess his crime and the confession was repeated before several others. Then Superintendent McBee was let into the case, and caused Boyd's arresL on the charge of cattle stealing, the belief being that others were implicatcd. IBoyd says his lloLtive was the rob bery of passengers and that while en gaged in rescuing the dead bodies he stripped them of valuables. He de liberately selected a train which he knew would have a good list of pas sengers departing from the North Caro lina resorts, peple who would have money, und about half an hour before the train was due pulled the spikes of a couple of rails leading on to the Bos ton's bridge. He watched the crash and in the confusion of people rushing to the rescue of the victims took his place among them. Superintendent McBee has in his poesession the implements with which Boyd drew the spikes, having found them where Boyd declared they were hidden. "Soldier and Civiltan." Our contemporary, the Charleston Sun, stood for Tillman and his move mieut just as long as decency would al low, but of late there has been a drop ping of scales as it were, and the Sun is now showing one some of the rugged pots of the reformer's (?) nature. The Sun of Saturday says: "The correspondence between Cap tain E. A. Garlington, of the regular army, and Governor Tillman, which has so unnecessarily been given the press, exhibits the Governor in his smallest aspect. Captain Garlington-wbo is an ap proved and gallant Caroliuian in the regular service, having been wounded in the Wounded Knee battle at which Wallace, .o1other Carolinian, was killed ia ;ear-wrote the Governor a proper and dignified application to be commissioned as a Colonel from his native State in the active service, in the event of war with Chili, which, at the date of the letter, January 24, was believed by every one to be highly probable. The act of Captain Garlington was in every wvay right and proper, and ex hibited a due and proper respect for the civil hleadl of the military of the State from which he is accredited. The rapid development of evcnts, however, pu. in the way of the Governor. wvho is as fond of ridicul ing others as he is sensitive to the lash ing of satire himself, to say a smart thing at the exp)ense of his position and dignity, and theni give the correspon dence for publication. His persiflage with' regard to the gallant captain "snufling the battle afar," and "de siring a place in the pietuire as a comn maider of South Carolina troops" is entirely uncalled for, and does niot exhibit the commiander-in-ebief of Soutly Carolina troops favorably as compared with the tone of the profes sionial soldier's letter.

Irish Potatoes and Onions at THE THIRD PARTY. Alli.-ice President Polk Talks About 'resi dent Livingstou. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.] WN'As1IN(-Tox, Feb. 1.-Last Friday President Polk, of the National Alli ance organization, and Dr. Macune, the editor of the national organ, carded Mr. Livingston into the House lobby and a long and somewhat animated talk occurred between the three. Polk and Macune both looked grave and Col. Leonidas looked restive and ill at ease. What they talked about no one could know but themselves, but the Alliance national president and the National Alliance editor seemed to be very much in earnest., if their wealth of jestures and looks could be regarded as an indi cation. WHAT 'OLK SAYS. Subsequently Col. Polk was cornered, and he is one of the easiest men in the world to interview. He has absolutely no secrets and don't seei to care who knows what he is driving at: "Do I regard a Third party move ment as probable?" he responded. "Of course. Why not? Why its bound to come. We will meet at St. Louis on Feb. 29, and all the working orders will merge with us, and with a good platform we will be irresistible in No vember. "No " he continued, "of course there can be no nominations at St. Louis, but we can have a big ratification meet ing, and a national convention is bound to follow. And we will get there, he added, with a quick upward jerk of his fat thumb. "What do I think of Livingston?" "Well, we have him on probationjust now-he and his friends, and we shall keep an eye on them hereafter. Living ston will go to the bottom like a ship, if the order ceases to hold him up. You can say that I said that, and I mean it. If he thinks the Atlanta Constitution and the regular Democracy of his dis trict are going to bolster him up just because he voted for Crisp for Speaker, and is skirmishing around with the Democratic caucus meetings, he is in grave error. They will dump him like a load of old tins." ANOTRER ALLIANCE CAUCUS WHICH SIMPSON & CO., DID NOT ATTEND [Atlanta Journal.] WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Another al liance caucus was held last night. All friends of financial reform were invited. Its object was to discuss measures for the relief of the people. Pickier, republican, of South Dakota, was there. Johnstone, of South Caro lina, and Pierce, of Tenuessee, both lawyers, were there. Long, of Texas, a grangei and farmer, but not an alliance man, was there. Ralph Beaumont, the big knights of labor orator, was an in terested spectator. McKeegan, indepen dent, of Nebraska, was chairman of the meeting. Trhere was no earthly reason why any friend of financial reform should not have attended, yet McKeegan was the only one of the nine third party (aucds men who was present. The refusal of Watson, Simpson & Co. to attend a conference of this char acter could easily be construed to mean that they are not friends of financial reform. Their action certainly does say, with greater emphasis than words can voice, that if they cannot enact their measures through the third party they wvon't have them at all. Democrats who attended this con ferene comment on the fact that since the rabid third partyites withdrew their deliberations have been conducted with perfect harmony. B3EWARE! SAYS HALL.

EIitor C izales Subnits a Statement to the I'ublic-In-cital of an Honorable Career in the Service of Two Countries. To the Editor of the Daily News. Several days ago I received a dispatch, from Spartanburg advising me that C. P. Barrett disclaimed the authorship of an article in the Mountain City Echo, of your city. I n.iturally sought a copy of the paper referred to, and found the article to be a v cious personal attack upon me and members of my family, presumably written by R. F. Perry, who had, as I have since learned, pre pared something of the sort before lea-v ing Columbia. I would not notice this article in any way if it had been confined to abuse of my brothers and myself. We are na tives of South Carolina, descendants in one line-of the first settlers of the State, and are too well known to be injured by such attacks, even if Mr. Perry were not by this time so well known that he can injure nobody. My father, however, is not so well known to the younger gen-ration. He is an old man, and although now a resident of this city, he has been absent from the State for many years since the war. He is de scribed in the article referred to as "a Spanish adventurer." Lest this should pass a3 argument with those hostile to the political cause I represent, although without force or pertinence, I submit a few-facts in regard to him. Heis. in the first pia2e, notaSpaniard. He is a native of Matanzas, Cuba, the son of a professor and newspaper owner and editor-a gentleman, and the de seen dait of gentle people. No name on the island stands highr. He was edu cated in this country, and was a law graduate of the University of Havana. Associated with a band of patriots, who had determined to attempt the libera tion of Cuba from Spanisbrule, he was chosen to represent that cause in the United States, and came here on a mis sion to enlist the services of General Worth and engage and arm forces from the veterans of the Mexican war, then just closed. He was a member of the junta of five who, in New York, in 1849, organized th-3 contest for Cuban independence, adopted a flag, issued bonds and formed the executive au thority of the revolutionists. For this he was condemned to death by the Spanish government, but in 1849, as adjutant, general of Gen. Narciso Lopez-who, on account of his know ledge of the country and the language, c>mmitted the wcrk to him-he or ganized the first "Lopez expedition," which landed at Cardenas. He was second in comr;and of that expedition, and its director, for the reason stated until it landed. In thecapture of Car denas he was the Irst Cuban to shed his blood for the freedom >t his native land. Had success resulted, Cuba would have been a Southern State of this Union, and the met wvho liberated her from despotism wold have had the honors of Garibaldi. He later organ ized another expedition in this State and Georgia in conj inction with Lopez and Crittenden. Having been deceived by reports of a successful revolution in Cuba, they sailed from New Orleans hastily, without effecting a junction with him, and met their death. He was chosen by his own country men their envoy and their leader, which is suflicient evidence of his posi tion in his native land. In 1849 he became an American citi zen. Before the fall of Sumter in 1S61, he had~ volunteered in the service of South Carolina and the South, and served throughout the war, surrender ing with Johnston's army at Greens boro', N. C. He wvas successively in specter general on Beauregard's staff, inspector general of South Carolina, chief of artillery for the department of South Carolina, Getergia and Florida under Beau regard, Jones, Pemberton and Hardee, and acting chief of artille ry in Johnston's army. As to his standing in the South, he was urged before the war for the Chilean or other South American or Central American mission,. by senators and representatives from nine southern States, incluaing Speaker Orr, Senators Hammond and Evans, and Represen tatives Boyce, McQueen and Keitt, of South Carolina; Senators Tromby and Iverson and Representatives Crawford and( Lumnpkin, of Georgia: Senator Nicholson, of Ten nessee; Joh n Forsyth, of the Mobile Register; Senators Jefger son Davis, Brown and Henderson anid General Quitman, of Mississippi; Sen ators Clay, of Alabama, Slidell. of Louisiana, Rusk, of Texas, Sebastian, of Arkansas, Mallory, of Florida, and many otht rs, amiong them General Beauregard, the mayor and citizens of Savannah, etc. At the beginning of Cleveland's administratior. i e was urgedl for diplo matic appointment by Senator Hamp ton and the representatives of South Carolina in congress, the governor of the State and many of its most distin gulishedl men I could pile up p)roofs if it were ne ce'sary, but these from .Jefferson Da.vin ought to suffice. In A pril 1857 he wrote of my father: "Circumstances havc led me to particular acquaintance wvith him, and have taught me to respect hinm as a man of the nicest sense ol honor and one of our naturalized citi zens, wholly devoted to the interes1 and fair fame of our country. I have long desired to see him placed in a -position worthy of hi:nu." In May 12S4 he wrote: "My kn~owledge of you> career claiming alike respec:t and sym pathy" and subscribed htimself "witi: -kindest remembrance of vou as a sol -dier under two flags, but one cause One<>ther point I wish to notice, be cause the subject matter has neve: been treated befur in this State excep, by a nondescript sheet in Charleston nearly ten years dead. In December ISSI, when I was the Washingtor correspondent of TheNews and Courier Smalls, the negro congressman, wa. offended by a certain article I had written for that paper.

He did not strikf me, and left before the arrival of the police. I was Lot especially proud oi theaffray and made no mention of it in my correspondence, although north er journals stated the facts; nor did I care to take notice of any account which Smalls or his friends might choose tc give of it. I have nothing to say to or of B. F. Perry. He manifestly believes that I insulted him by my reference to his habitual untruthfulness He was in Columbia when the last article he ob jects to was published in the State, of which journal he knows me to be the responsible editor. He chose to resent the insult by waiting until be got back to Greenville and abusing me and my people in an obscure newspaper over an initial. He has chosen his own pfosition and fixed his own status, and I will leave him in them undisturbed, uxcept to correct, as they appgar, any further falsehoods be may see fit to utter or print. N. G. GONZALES. COLU3BIA, S. C., Jan. 26th. GOLD! GOLD! GOLD! Veins or Much Richness in Greenville and Spartanburg. [Greenville News.] WILLiE, S. C., Feb. 2.-For some time a rumor concerning certain important discoveries of goll in Greenville and Spartanburg Counties has been whis pered about quietly. When the Wolfe and Tyger mining company was organ ized recently in Spartanburg it was sug gested that that incident would be soon followed by important developments. Such is the case. This company, which is composed of L. W. Jordan, ol Seneca, D. A. P. Jordan, of Greenwood, and the Messrs. Sullivan, of Anderson, have discovered veins of ore bere which surpass the wildest dreams of gold seekers. They have spent many thous and dollars in developing the property, and before the schemes they have al ready inaugurated have been perfected they will invest many thousand more. So far they have traced and located by sinking shafts to the water level twelve veins of ore which assay in New Yorb as high as 6387 per ton. One of these veins have been traced fully two miles, the ore yielding handsome result throughout. The company has buill and is now operating an improved ter stamp mill; and only lacks water before others are to be set in position. George Ladshaw, of Spartanburg, it now on the ground making the neces sary surveys to bring a large stream o: water to the summit of a hill whict commands the whole gold belt, and ir a few days a large force of workmer will be engaged in constructing the re quired canal. The gold yielding bel extends for about four or five miles-ai least, that is as far as it has been tracei at present. In this district, prospector: have located and staked off some threu hundred acres of gravel which pan: truly enormous quantities of gold. Thb compa.u;-s operations are being pushe< with great rapidity, and there wil shortly be some startling development; it! this section. J. H. MARSHALL. ALLIANCE FINANCIERs. Their Unique Plan for Promot'ng the Sub~ Treasury Sebeme. WVASIUNG ToN, January '29.-Allianc members of the House of Representa tives have had another conference, a whbich all were present except Messre Simpson and Otis of Kansas and WVat son of Georgia. A number of Allianc measures were discussed, and one c two bills that are being prepared wer read and considered, one of which wi] be introduced within a day or two. The members :'g.ed fully upon thei plan of action in this Congress, andi is certainly a most unique one. The; will introduce a flood of bills, putting on the free list pretty much every thing that the farmecr consumes. Thei endeavor is to urge the passage or suec bills as w ill decrease the revenues an, insure a deficit. A deficit having been created, would be necessary in some -':ay t meet it, and this could only he dont the Alliance people contend, by tb issue of Treasury notes. With the? launched, the Alliance men think tb Sub-Treasnry idea would be enacte into law. Pecrpetual Motion Secured. [From the Industrial World.] A moter is running at the Pater O)flice in Washington which seems 1 fulfill tbe conditions of perpetual m< tion. Perpetual motion is said to exit in a machine that 'when once starte will continue until worn out.' Th machine operates by the power give out in diff'erent exp)ansion of meta under varying conditions, and is small and carefully constructed that, there was absolutely no change in t,en perature of the room it would run whe once started thirty-ei ght days befo: stopping. If it were possi'le to put in some lace for this length of time, the center of the earth, where the ten leratuire would --constant, it wou stop, so it does not fulfill the conditic of perpetual motion: but that cann be done where the machine now is, it has run for a great many years wit out stopping, and probably wiil co: tinu1e tn run 11ntil it wea,- out. THE LOTTERY SURRENDERs. A Happy EndInf to the Srfe in Louisiana John A. Morris, the Lottery King Withdraws fromu 1:he Contest. EW ORLEANS, February 3.-A card is made public fron, John A. Morris, addressed to the people of Louisiana, in which Morris, concerning the efforts to obtain a- extension of the charter of the Lou.3ana Lottery, says: Realizing thoroughly, my associates and , that we have been incorrect in our opinion of the public sentiment on this question of a new charter, and not desiring to see the people of the State of Louisiana involved in strife over this question, I hereby declare, upon my part and the part of my associates, that we would not accept or qualify under the amendmjent (lottery amendment to the Constitution) even were it to be adopt*d by the people at the general election of April next. As theSupreme Court of the United States has decided the anti-lottery postal law to be consti tutional it is my purpose and that of my associates to respect that law and abstain from violating it in any man ner. Our offer was prompted as much by desire to benefit the people of Louis iana as by tho prospect. of profit to our selves from the grant-as a buisiness proposition. My associates and I are closely identified with the interests of the people of Louisiana, as we own much property within the borders of the State. Convinced that the grant ing of another lottery charter in the State would be the cause of continued agitation and discontent upon the part of a number of citizens of Louisiana for the entire period for which the charter might be granted, we would be unwil ling to accept such charter, even though it was given to us without the payment of one dollar of license tax. JoHN A. MoRRIs. SALUTES FIRED IN LOCISIANA OVER THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISLON.

The charter was, how ever,grauted to-day. The capital stock of theclub is to be $42,000. A LAND OF PLENTY. A Noted Prelate on Our National Resources -"Mind is Sovereign" Here. [Frodi a Speech by Archbishop . Ire -___ land.] We own a land of plenty, flowing as never Judea of old with milk and honey. Where in this broad world is there, as in the upper valley of the Mississippi, a combination of nature's riches for the up building of mighty empires? Under the earth's surface and upon it, in the air over it, and the waters coursing thrugh it, we find all the elements of health, wealth and so Icial happiness. Well may we love our land. In no other age but this could its resources have been so rapidly developed. The genius of the Roman had not har nessed to its service the wild forces of nature as man has done in the nine -teenth century; hence the Roman's achievements are not to be compared with ours. Steam and lightning obey our behests; remote places are brought near; the labor of years is finished in a .day. Mind is sovereign: it commands and matter becomes the willing servant. The American people have responded l to the inspirations of the age; indeed they have largely created the age. r Their spirit of intercourse, their acute ness of mind, their generosity of heart Sbuilt the Republic and all its parts to -the enviable loftiness among the na r tions which rivets all eyes upon her. SOur free institutions have formed an at mosphere in which men grow to their t fullest statues, and the sweetness and vitror of which attract to our shores the Smillions from their countries. e - e Receipt for a Love Fotion.
