Hayes bleeding upon the field of bat tle in defense of bis country and Tilden presiding over a Democratic peace com mittee at Chicago in 1804 are two pie- j tnres attracting considerable attention just UOWi. The Jersey City AVw.-'s wants to know how MfTTTIaTpe was able to lay up 200,000 in fourteen years out o an income of S5.000 ; perhajs Mr. Tilden. who, his friends say,' laid "up 83,000.000 in twelve years out of an-income of $7,118, can give the :.-'? the de sired information.'

Republicans are out raged and 'nsulted in every city and town in the State whil walking the streets, and even when partaking of the sacrament of the body and b!ood of Christ in their churches they are not tree from insults and sneers on account of their principles.

"Mr. Train, Kitty's stole all my candy." The name of Train "seems familiar to ns, and ye! we cannot recall it, so we step up to the gentleman who so be nevolently deals out candy to the chil dren, and emmence our interview. ". eg pardon, is ' your name Train, sir any relation of George ' Francis rain?" ; " that, sir. wa-i my name in the oldon time before I evoiuted," he rep ied, smilingly, and looking us tuT in the face with his large, expresive blue grayish eyes. "Bet ore yon what ?" we asked, not quite catching his meaning. "Before I became passive. T, who before was so active ; who held over a thousand conventions, and ran for the Presidency. Hut now, sir, I am passive, because tlie country has gone to the devil. She is like a yacht with , her sails set and at anchor. There, there, Lizzie, don't pull my hair ; it hurts.

If Mr. Train can be compared to any ' "e ns 'ie 'he parti ' tare-headed a,wl ormniirll by chi dren, he is to be compared to Victtr Hugo in bis festival with the chi dren atd'i'auteville l!ou-e, on the beautiful fs'e of Guernsey, ami his passive bronzed features, elegant am brosial curls and tine gestures stamp him at once as a distinguished person age. Every evening he may be seen in his aecn-tomcd seat surrounded by a cr.M""'d of childreiiVand .hardly a month passes thst some gentleman does not atop and gain some novel aud refreshing" news on tho situation.
