Fellow-citizens, neighbors and friends, of many years:—lt always has given me pleasure to come here and look upon these faces. It has always given me new courage and new friends. It has brought back a large share of that richness that belongs to these things oat of which comes the loys of life. While I have been sitting here, this afternoon, watching your faces and listening to the very interesting addi esses which has just been delivered, it has occurred to me that the best thing you have, that all men envy, (1 mean all men who have reached the meridian of life), is perhaps the thing that you care for the least, and that is yonr leisure. The leisure you have to think, the leisure you have to be let alone, the leisure you have to throw the plummet with your hands, and sound the depths, and find what is below; the leisure you have to walk about the towers of yourselves and find how strong they are, or how weak they are, and determine what needs building up, and determine how to shape them that yon may be made the final being that yon are to be. Oh, these bours of building up. If the supreme being of the universe would look dowfn upoc the world to find the most interesting object, it would be the unfinished, unfounded characters ot young men and of young women. Those behind me have, probably, in the main, settled such questions. Those who have passed into middle-manhood and middle-woman-hood are about what they shall always be, and there is little left or interest or curiosity as to our development, but to your young and unlormed natures no man knows the possibilities that lay treasured np in yonr hearts and intellects, and while yon are working np these possibilities with that splendid leisure, you are the most to be envied of all classes of men and women in the world. This place Is too full of memories for me to trust myself to speak long, and I will not, but I have saw again to-day, as I have for a quarter of a century, evidences of strength and affection from the people who gather in this place, and I thank yon for the permission to see you, and meet yen, and greet you, as I have done to-day.” Mr. Garfield will remain at Hiram to the alumni reunion, to-morrow. In the afternoon he will go to his home in Mentor, to t-est.

Chicago, June 10.—During the afternoon session of the greenback national convention the contusion was so great that several searge&nts-at-arms were appointed, with Dennis Kearney at their head to help preserve order, which they managed to do at the risk of breaking up the convention.

In the confusion which followed there was a bewildering entanglement of points of order, personal explanations, amend ments, substitutes, and demands from half a dozen members at a time for recognition by the chair, in the midst of Which the Chair called on all delegates to take their scats, and announced that he would tire them out and obtain order if it took till Christmas, and that they could not now secure recognition by standing up, even if they stood on their heads.

An Elephant on a Spree.

I s*w little Betsy as drunk u a fiddler on§ time and she waa a funny sight. We were showing late in the fall in Indiana, in vety severe weather. Home monkeys and birds and snakes had already frozen, and Betsy showed shat she was suffering greatly from the oold. Long John went to Manager Odel and Mid to him: “You’d better get some whiaky'for Betsy or she’ll freeze.” “How much?” “Her ears are fust beginning to freeze; get three buckets/’ Well, they knew thjit was two for Betsy and one for Long John; but when it came to elephants he was boss and the whlskr was got, as he ordered. You should have pepn the taferukeeper’s eyes stand out when they ordered three buckets of whisky for fwo drinks. Betty drank all they gave her and got staving drunk. She’d stagger and roll over and pick herself up and pick Long John up and toes him bn her back and sort of laugh, and he'd laugh and it was nip and tack between them which was the drunker. Elephants are very fund of whisky or any sort of liquor, especially if it has lota of red pepper m it, and they are not only fond of getting drank' themselves but they are very considerate of drunken men. \ never yet kneir of m elephant hurting a drunken man. That (joag John, when he was staggering drunk, would go right up to Sultan or Canada, when nobody else dared to go near them, and would fool round them aad swing on their tusks and toes their trunks about and to to sleep right down by their feet, and they Would not only not do him any harm, but wouldn’t let anybody else go negr him until he chose to wake up. And any real drunken man eando pretty much what he pleases with an elephant.— From B*coU*ct&n, of a Menagerie Man.

Tbo democratic party confront* us to-day, unchanged in parpom, In temper and In character—united in nothing else, proposing no otner measure of policy, it wages Its warfare upon the safeguards which the nation has thrown around tha purity of its elections. It can see no other aril, except that a freeman should cast a free rote under the protection of the national authority. In Louisiana and Mississippi It 1* the white league and the Kakluxi In Booth Carolina it take* the honest ballot from the box and stuff* the tissue ballot Into Its place; in New York It Issues fraudulent naturalisation paper* .three or four thousand In number; In Maine Its ambitious larcwny tries to pilfer a whole state government at once; In Delaware it look* with complacency on the whipping poet; ae in war It found nothing In the constlttr lon which oould protect Its national life, BO in Pennsylvania it finds nothing there which can protect the national honor. Can you find, in the history of the democratic party, for the past sixteen years, anything the democratic party has done or triad to de, except to break down the legal safeguard*, so aa to make their eilocee* possible? The republican party haa no such miserable history. Rebellion subdued, slaves freed, great public highway* Constructed, homestead laws, naturalisation, treaties, public credit re-estab-lished, debt diminished, sound currency restored the flog respected above all. Bnt not for thoM things alone, or chiefly, doe* the republican party live. The republican party lives that every man within onr borders may dwell secure In a happy home. He may oast and hare oounted his eons! vote. Mod his children, at the public charge, to a free school. Until these things corns to peas, from thw Atlantic to the Pari Ac, to our mission accomplished. • ‘ The roll of states was then called, and the committees on rules, resolutions and credentials appointed. Delegations where contests were’submitted were referral to the committee on credentials for adjudlcation. ' ■, It was ordered that 600 tickets dally ba distributed among veterans of tbs late war.

At Sherman’s her dquarters, to-night, the following estimates are made of the first ballot after the unit rule Is abrogated: Grant, 357; Blaine. 276: Sherman, 118. The name of Garfield has been quite frequently mentioned, to-night, ae a possible omnpromtoe. In the Grunt caucus, to-night, u short-hand reporter was present daring the soeecbeu which Boutwell and Conkllng made. Tha former declared that they bad from 828 to HO votes on ths first ballot, and that tbs nomination of General Grant eras secure. Oonkling Mid there was no ta of eonoeeling or perverting facto. It was time now to look this matter sqnarely In the face. Not more than 300 vote* were assured for Grant on the tret ballot. He advised, however, that they hold together through the fir*t, tsoond and to tha tenth ballot, U neceeasry , but not to yield, and they would eventually worry out their opponents and win. 8?b5s!? they would gala Slav iris.

A Real Man in Society.

“Suppose I went with you to this lady’s house”—Ferd touched with the stem of his pipe a letter which lay on the table pulled near him—“and visited among your friends, the nobility and gentry? I should be reminded by a thousand things every day that I was a sham and a pretender. That kind of people always take it for granted that you feeland think with them; and I don’t keep telling them so, however. And suppose I tried to conform; I should be an amateur among professionals. They have the habit of breeding and of elegance, as they understand it. I may have a loftier kind, but I haven’t discipline; I can’t realise my ideal; and they do realize souls f That makes me tueir inferiors; that makes rpe hate them.” Foid took up his pipe. *Oh,” said Phillips, “you can put an ironical face on it but I suspect what you say is really your mind.” “Of course it is. At heart Jam a Prince in disguise; but your friends won’t know it if I sit with my coat off. That would vex me.” He took up the letter from the the Üble, and holding it at arm’s-length admired it “Such a hand alope is enough; the smallest letter? half an inch high, and all of them shurgging their shoulders. I can’t come up to that If I went up to this lady’s house, to be like her Other friends and acquaintances J should have to be just vriyed frqm Europe, or just going; my talk should he of London and Paris and Rome, of the Saturday Review and the Revue dee Deux Monde*, of English politics and society; my own country should exist for me on sufferance through a compassionate curiosity, halt repulsion I I ought to have recently dined at Newport with poor Lord and Lady Scramperton, who are finding the climate sq terrible; and I should be expected to speak of persons of the highest social distinction by their first names, os the first syllables of their first names. Ton see that’s quite beyond me. ‘And do bring your friend, Mr Ford,*” he read from the letter mincingly and he laughed. “I leavp U to yourTferto excuse me, Phillips." He kindled his pipe, and Phillips presently went await It was partof hUrountine not to fix himself in any Summer resort, but to keep acceasihlo to ihe Invitations which did not fall to find him. He found his account in this socially, and it did not remain unsaid that he alsq gratified a passion for ecopoqiy in it; bfit the people yybo skid this continued among his hosts. Late in the summer, or almost when the leaves began to turn, he went away to the hills for a fortnight or three weeks, providing himself with quarters in some small hotel, *nd making a point of returning to the simplicity of nature.

Employers and Employed.

In that Dot very clearly defined period of the world'■ history referred to by oldish people ss the good old times, masters and workmen, such was their simplicity, believed that their interests were identical. Oat of this apprehension of their relations came the result that instead of being enemies they were friends. The masters held their workmen personally in esteem and were in the habit of promoting their oersonal comfort. The workmen, on their part, esteemed and respected their masters and frit in honor bound to work well and faithfully. In some cases self interest may have exercised s considerable influence in maintaining these amicable relations, esch party to the contract feeling that his own aids were best served by a system that assured good work and well-cared-for workmen. Whether this feature of the matter was or w, s not kept in view, the result was the same. The workmen did try to do good work and the masters did try to make them oomfortable. It is a commonly accepted belief that this wholesome condition of affairs has passed sway; that befere “the breathless march of s civilization driven by steam" the good old kindly custom* have been swept aside dr trodden down. Speaking generally, this belief is well founded. Machinery having come to be everywhere, men themselves nave come to be machines. Workmen are regarded by masters as machines necessary to the manufacture of raw material; masters are regarded by workmen ss machines necessary to the manufacture es wages—and on each side there is a disposition to take every advantage, fkir or unfair, of the other. Bat while this is the rule, there are to be found here and there exceptions to it Which not only prove that it exists, but strovef trove also that a little of the old-time kindiness between masters and men still survives. Machinery has not wholly expelled humanity from the world, and there are still to be found men who have a further interest in their hired laborers beyond that involved in wringing ont from them the worth of their hire; who try to make the work light by providing the most perfect tools for its accomplishment as well as by providing the many small conveniences, trifles in themselves, but far from trifles in the aggregate, by which the hardship of laboi is taken away; who do not ask for more finished work than the workmen can give, and who, above all, exhibit toward their workmen a positive personal good will. Masters of this sort have a right to be and usually are exacting in their demands; but the demands unifoimly are just. They naturally feel that a faithful discharge of their part of the contract deserves equal faithfulness on the men with whom the contract is made. And if the men possess any real manliness they do live up faithfully to the mutual agreement. Indeed, it must be a very poor specimen of a man who, under such conditions, would not try his best to do his best work all the time. The consciousness that good work will be appreciated at its full value is always a strong incentive to honest endeavor, but when there exists'the further incentive of the desire to make a just return for just wages, to show by promptness and willingness that the many friendly concessions are not taken ss matters of course, but are properly valued, deliberately bad work becomes impossible. Leaving any warmer feelings out of the question, mere abstract justice would declare wilful carelessness or neglect, under these circumstances, to be a crime.

It is comforting to know that between some masters ana men such pleasant relations ss these actually.do exist; it would be more comforting were they not the exception but the rule. It is certain that when friendly feeling exists between capital and labor both profit by it; better work is done, more money is made and each earns a larger reward. This is the mere utilitarian view of the case, but it is a view that should not be neglected. From a higher standpoint a still more desirable result may be perceived. When employers and employed are upon such terms as these, both lead better, truer, manlier lives. The best Bide of the moral character of each constantly is being simulated, the beat feelings of each constantly are being aroused and called into action. Short qf the millennium perfect happiness is not attainable, but a very fair substitute for perfect happiness is found in the mutually helpful, honorable lives which masters and men, when thus disposed toward each other, can lead.

A Victim of the Trapeze.

An alarming trapeze accideut occurred at Bolton, England, a fbrtnight ago. One trapeze was affixed ; to the ceiling at the gallery end and the other was suspended over the stage and the athletes passed and repassed each other with amazing rapidity. A net was stretched from the gallery to the stage to prevent accidents, but as it tufned «-ur it was of very little service. The men were in the act of going through the most difficult and dangerous portion of it—a “leap for life,” in which Nestor swings from, one end of the house, turns a double somersault and is caught by the heels by a startling accident occurred, Neator was a little late in taking flight from the trapeze, so that Vtnoa had nearly passed out of his reach when the two should hayq met. Nestor only succeeded in clutching Vinoa’s heel, and, being unable to hold on, fell, striking in his descent on the edge of the net and then rolling heavily to the ground. The distance being some twenty feet the athlete WW rendered insensible by the lall. in the meantime the excitement in the theatre ww intense and Vinoa seemed to be unnerved by jt and the accident to his fellow-performer. He drew himself up on his perch. Then he ventured to lajinch out upon his trepete, hut be let go his hold Wh«n lb® trapeze had almost passed the net, the consequence being thM he merely grazed the side of it in his fall and rolled on to the stage. Roth men lay for a minute of two Utterly stunned. The audience rushed upon the stage and carfled them off. Restoratives were administered and the performers were subsequently taken home in a cab.

A Gift to Cardinal Newman.

When Cardinal Newman had finished his recent address on the conversion of England to the reHgfoa of Rome, the Duke Qf Norfolk, who presided, and whese guest while in London the bflsbeen, presented him on behalf of the Catholics of Australia, with a magnificent aaivf* wrought in gold. There■poaae of the Cardinal to the address of presentation was a model one for an occa- ■)°“ i hi ® V 1 * 1 * Jarring to the fact that the Pope, in making him a member of the Sacred College, had allowed him oyii TVC privilege to remain in his own emmtry and even at the oratory, he added as if in anticipation of U»a Indulgence, the givers of thq f*lre»h*d engraven on It “with g tyue instinct of what would pUrett him, and as if looking forward to e i. t £“J yhea , ol^ r,mnßt the owners of it, not only his own name, but the names of those Fathers who for ao many Y e W?
