aboald address u you a few word of

affectionate warning. It has ben customary heretofore only for the great ftesidents, who were conscious of the love and vMiHft4oa of the people, to take leave of their country in Una eulaw form. But. inasmuch aa I can hardly be ranked among the President at all, sad history will probably take aoU' of me only aa aa intruder la that illtistriouM line, 1 do not feel myself oound by tboae precedents. My situation in the administration of thin office, to which I was not elected, has been one of aingtilar emberraseMat I had borne anna for my country, if uot with diaUnction. at least with moderate credit. My mllow-oitixena of Onto, deeming ma aa mo ie noire aort of yoejon, without auffioieat toroe of character to engender enemies, repeatedly raiaed me, like a wooden image, to the place of Gorernor an office in that Statu of so power and influence.

So daaocont waa 1 of the design subsequently executed that I publicly acknowledged any defeat in a candid address from my owe doorstep, and I confess that I waa profoundly shocked when I aaw Mr. Chandler's celebrated dispatch boldly announcing my election hours after my defeat had oaen universally known and -conceded. But, aa the plot developed, .aad only the moot agreeable features were communicated to me, while the dark details of crime and corruption were carefully hidden, the scruple which I soon came to regard aa mere yaraunal weakasmea gradually melted away, and 1 finally accepted the frnita -of eonepiracy and forgery with oomahv--cency aad even pleasure. I will not recall the history of my induction into office. I wish, indeed, it might be erased from the memory of Men, and I would cheerfully return to the eonacience fund of (ho Treasury or make over to my dafmtntert aoaspstltur. nil that had been saved of hie four years' salary, if that act oould restore Joe to the state of inaooonoe I enjoyed while yet the harmless Govnrnor of Ohio. My position after the amueaption of 1 -the Presidency, as before said, was one -of peculiar delicacy aad difficulty. I had road attentively the powerful letter of acceptance by the groat statesman nominated at St. Louis, and inasmuch aa the people had, by a hugs majority, expressed their approval oflts eontenU, and 1 waa in the occupatkm of the ofnee to which its author had been elect--ed, I conceived it to be my duty to effect some of the reforms tfcsrem reoorn.mended. But I found myself powerless; 1 was not a free ageat The Government was administered m my name, but I waa little more than a passive instrument in the uaserunulous hands which had forged the various link! in that so-called chain of title to the office held. Those men -avers not reformers; they had not fcrought me Into power to forward the measures enunciated by my late opponent. It was some time before 1 folly realized my abject dependence upon the sooreey and Meaty of the wunssjoui agents fmpkryod in the great fraud, and soesawbils I was permuted to antuee the country with certain

i of Nauru, which wars, how-

eon lined to the Civil Service. At

length even this pretense grew ridicu

lous. What I had intended for reform Mr. Sherman calmly converted into the abapte process of turning out his political onemjc and putting fat his friends, to understand, was one of my masters. I loathed in my heart the leprous criminals who had conceived and executed the daring freuda in Louisiana aad Florida. But no sooner had I taken the oath of office than I aaoertalned that my nearest friends and sponsors had promised them not merely preteotkm. but high promotion aad otne r re wards, and I was compelled to execute these promises under penalty of complete discovery m every ahocking detail -of tha atupendoos crime of which I

Southern States. 1 now learned that in

order to secure tha completion of the fraudulent count, my frieuds had pledged me to abandon those colored Kc)ublicana, aad to hand over those States tc

imm o me man woum nave been a re fusal It lost ma I will not aav the respect, for to that I had no claim but the support of the earnest Republicans, who declared that if I was sleeted, so

were raokiu mui Chamberlain. It waa

soon plain that they, too. regarded me as a fraud in a new sense. Thia defection left me practically without a party, and 1 sought to supply the deficiency by an alliance with the Southern nomocracy. I outlined a magtdnoeat and dassling scheme of internal improvements to be carried out in tha South at the general expense, and I blew, with all the breath that was la ma. the trump of resurrection over the tomb of the old Whig party. But nobody would trust a Fraud, and but

one solitary Whig emerged at mv blast, in the person ol Alexander H. Stephens. Having lorn m own party it

waa. evident to them that m v ability to

execute was leas than my inclination to promise, and they prudently declined a coalition which on my side waa based on nothing more substantial than the few offices which had not already been distributed.

Under those circumstances it will be

seen that toe total failure of my fraudulent Adminiatration waa a foregone conclusion, aad 1 lonar since discovered

that I must content myself with drawing the salary of the Presidency in advanoe and hoarding what could be saved from it by rigid economy aad a sordid

affectation of temperance. This, with a scrupulous provision for a few personal friends, such as my family paysieiaa and my eon Webb, at the publie expense, has been my only sotaoe trader the sad humiliations of these later months of my residence in the White House.

ormation of the public abuses pointed out with such emphasis by Mr. Tildes, and mildly alluded to by Mr. Carl Scaurs in my own letter of aoeeptaaee.

Flashy and Trashy. The inaugural address of Preekleat

Garfield Is flashy and therefore trashy. It nowhere bears the impress of deep study, of profound thought, or of a statesmanlike compreheueiou of the vital Questions of government. It may be claimed for the production that it is well written, that its svntax is unobjectionable. Admit it.' Still the addrees is little more than a bundle of glittering generalities, and scarcely rises above the oratorical triumphs witnessed in the arenas where sophomores spout. The whole thing is of the skyrocket order, seemingly intended to please the rabble. Ike reference to the fact, that the Republic has grown during the past hundred years Is extended to the utmost limit of clap-trap rhetorical flapdoodle. The freedman s ballot, ignorance, education, etc., are thrown Into a jumble. Illiteracy is deplored, while intelligence is commended, and, while the President declares that ignorance la the great danger of the Republic be is determined that it shall be potential in shaping the destinies of the country. In matters of finances, he fully commits himself to the custody of the National Banks aa sgainst the interests of the tax-payers. With regard to the eaeroachmenta of the power of corporations, he is as silent as a mummy. Agriculture, in which he says half the people of the United Statps are engaged, be diemlaees with less than twenty lines, and says nothing at that. He hints at the kUmroe doctrine, 1 aad winds up on polygamy. The address, from first to last, is a lame afiahr, and. aa a send-off, is not calculated to give President Garfield the elevation his friends anticipated. It is well known that President Garfield is not a strongman. Hs has literary culture, but he lacks will-power, force of character, staying qualities. He is easily overcome by temptation; and unless, for the good of the country, be falls Into the hand of n better man than Conkling, but little good can be expected from his Admmutration . ipsduma fifofs SmUttuL J.

Twistlag a CalTa Tail. There is nothing thst demands statesmanship of a high order at much as the driving of a cow with a vonag calf to any particular place. Two Galveston colored men undertook a job of this character yesterday, and although they Stve the matter their careful attention, e result was very far front satisfactory to anybody except the cow, which seemed to enjoy it very mueh. Sam and Bill were to get a dollar to take the cow and calf and pat them la the yard of the owner, Mr. Thomas Carlyie, who lives at the sooth end of Galveston Avenue. After trying in vaht to get the cow to understand in what direction they preferred she should go, Sam aad Bill called a cabinet meeting, at which the following campaign plan was agreed upon: Sam was to take up the calf in his arms and go ahead, while Bill was to hold the cow back by the rope which was fastened to her horns. "Ef she goes too fast'" said Bill, "Til jest hold her back." "And ef ahe don't toiler fast enough TH jest twist de calf a tail, and den she will come right along." said Sam. Sam took up the calf and went ahead, while Bill, in order to get a real good hold, tied the rope around his wrist. The procession proceeded slow

ly in the desired direction, and would 1

have reached its destination in safety had not Satan tempted Bill to get off a joke on Sam, so he called out: "Sam, jess twist de cafs tail." Sam did so, aad the calf bleated as if It was opposed to an encore to the performance. The old cow began to trot So did Sam, hoUing on to the calf aa if he had stolen it. Thea the fun began, for

In reply to one who desires a recipe for making grafting wax that will not melt ia summer nor crack in winter, we would say that three parts resin, these parts beeswax, aad two parts tallow, will make an excellent grafting wax. A cheaper wax, that has given us good satisfaction, is made by melting together four parts good, clear resin, two parts beeswax and one part tallow. When the ingredients are all melted and mixed, pour into a pail of cold water when the wax will harden sufticieutly to be worked and pulled, as in working molassc candy. If used in cool weather. It will be necessary to keep it in warm water, and in hot weather, cold water will be needed.
