Carl Schurz’s Speech Meets with an Unflattering Reception. New York, Aug. s.—The Brooklyn independent Republican* held a mass meeting to-night in that city. Every seat in Music Hall was filled, from the orchestra to the cock-loft, and many were unable to gain entrance to the building. A large portion of the audience were Democrats, and there were many Blaine Republicans present. H. W. Maxwell called the meeting to order, and introduced Horace E. Doming as chairman. Mr. Deming is the chairman of the Young Men’s Democratic Club of Brooklyn. Mr. Deming, iu his speech, said such an immense assemblage was an indication of the widespread dissatisfaction of the Republicans, and their desire as American citizens for good government, and because they believed that the Republican candidate was not a fit person to hold the office of President The* were opposed to his election. [Cheers and hisses.] Mr. Deming was frequently interrupted by similar demonstrations whenever the names of candidates were mentioned, and before he finished the uproar was so great that he could not ho heard. Hon. Carl Shurz was then introduced. He said he wished to address himself to Republicans and appeal to their reason as men who loved their country. The tariff was not the question which they had to meet and the charge that they were free-traders was false. The question was whether honest government could be obtained Would not the indorsement of such men as Blaine be dangerous to good government? It has been asserted that Blame was an abused man, and that his enemies were persecuting him. If this were so it was not right Nothing was so distasteful to him (Schurz) as to discuss the character of any man, hut he should not make any charges against Mr. Blaine which had not been made against himself. Mr. Schurz then read some of Mulligan’s letters, and remarked that Mr. Blaine’s friends disliked very much t*> be brought face to face with those letters. • [Voice “No they don’t,” cheers and hisses. X Mr. Schurz went into the history of the Mulligan letters. The audience at times became so demonstrative that he was obliged to stop speaking for several minutes. In conclusion, Mr. Schurz spoke in eulogistic terms of the character of Governor Cleveland and said he was in every way worthy of support. POLITICAL NOTES. Fred. Douglass Thinks Cleveland Is Already a Winged Duck. . Rochester (N. Y.) Special. Fred. Douglass and wife arrived here to-day from Washington, intending to visit relatives at Honeoye Falls, in this county. In an interview Mr. Douglass said: “I am more than satisfied that Blaine has a sure thing. I read the papers as you do and form iny conclusions. This talk about the independents is of no importance. The fight will be, and even now is, between the Democrats and Republicans. So far as Mr.* Cleveland is concerned, one may readily see how lukewarm his support is. People feel that it is not exactly the correct thing to have a President who is not welcome in one’s parlors. He is a winged duck, so far as this campaign is concerned. I have not seen Blaine since last August. Then I had a long talk with him. I guess he feels all right nowadays. He is too bright a man to make a hurra over his feelings.” Advice to Colored Men. Frederick Dongles*, at Battle Creek, Mich. I imagine I hear some of my brethren asking me what course to pursue in this campaign. I say to every colored man, the Republican party is the deck upon which you should stand. All roads that lead from the Republican party lead back to the Democratic party. A vote given to the Prohibition party is half a vote given to the Democratic party. And the Prohibition party will take ten votes from the Republican party where it takes one from the Democratic. lam a Prohibitionist myself; but lam for doing one thing at a time, and until the colored race have justice I have no other mission. Now, rov friends, I ask you to remember ns. My abolition friends, do not lav down your armor until you have secured for us all the rights that belong to us as American citizens. Do not go off on any side issuos. We have watered your soil with our tears, tilled it with our hands, and enriched it with our blood. We only ask to be treated as well as those who fought against you. We love this country, and we only ask to be used as kindly as those who once hated it. For Congress. Waterville, Me..

Broadway Lounger, in New York Tribune. Os all the strange Americans, the strangest in career was James A. Garfield. I remember when I was a newspaper correspondent at Washington, receiving about the same salary he received, going one Sunday to his house. We talked there a long time. He was always a school-teacher to me. While I could be a more independent man than himself because I owed no duty to any sensitive constituency, I recognized in him a teacher And a moralist. I have heard cruel things said about him from better men than myself. It is enough to me to bear testimony to a friend as I found him. We went in to his dinner table; his wife was not there. The dinner consisted of some cold roast beef warmed over in the frying-pan, and of some stewed tomatoes. Garfield never apoligized for the dinner. I felt so much respect for my host that a better dinner might have given me a chance for criticism. Tlie dinner was so plain that its simplicity gave all concerned an honest character. Here was a man who had been suspected, outraged, with no more dinner than I would give somebody who came to the front stoop. The vear following the war I was a lecturer through Garfield's district in Ohio. There 1 first heard his name. I was uot familiar with any portion of his life. Afterward I made his acquaintance—on his part it was very slowly made. He always seemed to me to be a shy, fearful man, and I had an idea that he considered me a sort of large, worldly public character that he might naturally hesitate to give his confidence to. I have always found public men to have a great natural vein in them. If I wanted to go with any sorrows I might have, and find a friend to weep with, I would not go to some crude, unfolded man, but go to a great, disciplined, sorrowed man, and say to him: “Tarry with me to-night.” Since the sufferings and death of Garfield, I have had to listen, from acquaintances of mine whom I mast tolerate, though I will not aequit, to imputations About this dead man that I can only account for on the ground of general human depravity. The more mankind seems to rise up and stand by the side of this wellinformed, well-acquitted gentleman, the more I find a certain gross, harsh intolerance of nature to revel in denouncing him. I can only compare it to Oliver Cromwell, after the great example he was to Englishmen, being pursued and handed for two hundred vears. The young gentleman who was the lieutenant at the Elberon Hotel, came in at last and said: “Now, sir, they are ready to show you where General Garfield died.” We crossed a portion of the green lawn toward tho sea, and came to one of the neat, extensive wooden cottages the Americans build in this day of grace and favor. I was only thinking of my old friend, as I crossed the threshhold and ascended the stairs. I can hardly remember anything bat angular stairs and a beautiful interior above, and a neat, tasteful domestic explaining, in an honest way, as became Garfield’s name and fame, how he was brought in; how the railroad car came around to the baek of the house, and how the poor man was taken out and brought in through a lower room, and then was carried in some way up the stairs, and finally was placed on a bed, and how, at odd times, he was taken off the bed and put in a chair, which was shown to me, of a kind of curule shape. But I knew that it was the room which Blaine had described with that tenderness of speech which only those tried in the long burdens of public life can use toward their perished friends. I felt happy that after a hard discipline of twenty-five years in political writing I could have faith in that poor man’s agonies and hopes and greatness of character as be sat in that room. If I could not believe in suffering like that, what could I believe in that is professional and mendacious and despicable, and yet call* itself refortn! After Garfield became President his oldert acquaintances had but little pleasure with hiu>. i'be extended sphere ot life he entered into crowded ont his old and gentle friends. Hence there was some natural exasperation among Vie man's own confidantes. Yet whadrisht have people to assume upon a newly-eWswd rjttsiaentf He assumes u jfsw nature.

They expect noth Ing. They do not even simect consideration. In the present campaign the American people, if they estimate themselves wit i self-respect, can anew departure from old follies of old campaigns. We have no right to consider this presidential candidate a Fourth-of-July toy. He is an old and hardened msn iu the forces and collisions of public business. lam forty-four and already tired. These men who are running for President are from forty-seven to fif-ty-seven. Should they not be tired too? Are ws to give all our charity to this mushy I young person who lias a bottle of ink and a pen,

and who writes a column.or two a day in largn type, and then says: “Thank God I am not as bad as yonder public man?” Let ns remember that we belong to a nation of nearly sixty millions of people, and that the man at the head of tlie state is the greatest invalid in the country. Tlie President of the United States has hardly any of the reliefs afforded by older systems of government; he is an exposed man. The last President was murdered. Two former Presidents were in danger. The President who passed through the war victorious and went as a war correspondent to the James river was finally killed in a theater. All these are heroic men, taking their lives into their hands. What danger does the pessimist reformer take in his hands when he sits down every day to incite the people to violence against their magistrate? I stood in Garfield's room and saw to the south two windows, and to the east, facing the ocean, one window, and then I thought how little I had done, or any one of the scribes who published the newspapers, compared to the awful suffermgs of that man, who did not solicit the presidency, who reoeived it with hesitation and distress, and who, in receiving it, had to suffer pains and miseries such as no slave Hogged or tho plantation ever knew. He suffered all that for us. His Secretary, now taking tho risks of a presidential candidate, has experienced no viler attacks than Garfield knew. Can we expect joy and prosperity in our Nation when we are so harsh to our public men? Arise, and give at least as much faith to your great stewards as you give to vour morning editor. I was in Washington City when Mr. Blaine was first made Speaker of Congress. Standing in the gallery one day, Jim Young, another correspondent, pointed him out to me on the floor below. Mv disposition was rather with Dawes, of Massachusetts, who was Blaine's only competitor. I don't know why I was for Dawes any more than these ‘ ‘noisies” know why they are against Blaine. Some of them, as lam personally informed by sight, only hate Blaine because he gave them a dinner. It is dangerous business to give a cheap-jack a dinner in your own house. Only twenty-four years ago the Democratic party called every man who believed in freedom to tho individual a black Republican. They could not understand why a Republican should be republican for the blacks as well as- the whites. Good luck, however, has happened to their prejudices. They do not count the black Republican's vote, and they rule their States just the same without him. In fact, they are the black Republicans now. They come to these Democratic conventions, and cast all the votes of their State*, as if there were no black Republicans there. The Republicans came to their convention and showed the manhood and the logic of their career. They put in the presiding chair a r.egro. They submitted to some of the defeats of black Republicanism in taking the vote. On the other hand, the Republicans have reman led the Southern States to their white population, the former slave-own-er*. It is a terrible injustice to the Northern States to have this solid South confronting them all the time. But we have hopes that their own sense of justice will at last come to our rescue, and that in the North they will find their truest alliances with the men here who had to carry the burden of that great war just as the poor white men in the South had to carry the burden of the rebellion. The Scent Bottle as a Toy. Long Branch Letter. The prevalent toy of the Long Branch girl is a scent bottle. It is an inch thick, and from six to eight inches long. The material is glass, elaborately cut, and sometims trimmed with gold or silver. It gives the possessor something to do with her hands, and in that way serves the purpose of a cane or a crush hat in the grip of a dandy. She carries it with her at the dinner table, in the surf bath, in the ball-room, and I have no reason to suppose that she dosen t take it to bed with her. She flirts with it as with a fan; she sniffs daintily at its unscrewed top, to give an impression of extreme sensibility and fragility; she poses with it like the fairy queen of a burlesque with a wand; and she could, on occasion, use it as a club to brain him who would do her barm. Altogether, I think it is more man subduing in the hands of the frivolous belle than a cane or cue held "by the stalwart .Georgia wonder, and a great deal more magnetic. Bicycles for Messengers. St- T.ouis Post-Dispatch. About the happiest boy I have seen recently is a messenger boy who has gained possession of a bicyle and runs his errands on his machine. If there is any class of human beings for whom the bicycle is especially fitted, it is this bard-worked force, whose locomotive muscles are in constant activity, sometimes for whole days and half of the night From the envious way in which the other boys eyed their fortunate companion it was plain to be seen that only a lack of capital prevented their following suit. The truth is, with the saving of time and car fare taken into consideration, it is a question whether the introduction of bicycles for the use of the boys would not be a good business move on the part of messenger companies.

John Taylor, colored, in a quarrel with another colored man named Andy Peyton, whom he considered to be upon too intimate relations with his (Taylor’s) wife, was cut in the arm by Peyton last night. Tho wound was a razormade gash, five inches,long. Peyton was arrested and looked up. Henry Smith, claiming to be from St. Louis, was arrested last night and slated for associating with prostitutes, drunkenness and personating an officer. He had $335 iu money on his person, and a number of notes. He is considered an ultra-suspic.ious character. Life had become a burden to L. S. Hill, of East Moiftpelier.
