Ilarrisburg, Philadelphia, and all
other points ni which Seymour made
peeches, have given increased Repub-
licau majorities, thereby proving thai
the repelluni eflects of Andrew John
son's oratory in 1&0G bave even beeD
surpassed by those of Horatio Sey
mour in 1SGS. With these melancholy
expet iences of Johnson and Seymour
wi
i end, in all probability, trie egotisti
assumption that the people are to
be diverted from their purposes of their
opiniens changed by the condescendirg
phrases or executive bullying of any
aspirant for office Andrew Johnson's
coarse declarations of what he might
do if he would, or if the people did
not do as he wished, were as unavail
ing ns ihe exhibitions of Seymour's
"hands, small, soft and white like
those of woman.'' The people had
made up their minds, and these things
only made the declaration of their will
the more earnest and ihe more em
phatic. The city of San Francisco can stand
much heavier shocks than those of the
recent earthquake Not one of the
first-class banks or hotels suffered to
any extent. On the hills the damage
is not so great as would be inflicted by
a heavy rain accompanying wind, such
as we have frequently during the win
ler months. The confidence of our
neorile in San Francisco is not shaken
in the least ; nor has real estate in that
part of the rity built on natural or ori
ginal ground declined in value to the
extent of a dollnr. You would be
astonished at ihe cheerfulness and well
feelinf of our peonle ! A real estatu
sal9 came off within two hours of the ,
great shock, and more than usual i
rrices were realized 05 000 cbang- ;
! ing hands oh the fall of ihe hammer j
j The crath of the earthquake created ,
l less excitement in the street than the j
! murder of President Lincoln. ;

Somebody hands the following 'pret

is from an octopenarian Democrat t
I Air John Quill, and reads as follows :
, Dear Sir: This is ihe. cussedest

used to be so. I cau'i grasp j. This
is another result of eight years of Rad

Ilureiiu ha done for u. If this is so.
heads and tails are both tails, and both

do drink it, and vice verso. No won

How He Proved It. It is the cus
tern in Mexico for the church te require
foreigners wishing to marry a native
i0 bring proof that he is uol already a
married man. An American about to
marry a senorita of very good family,
was required to furnith the proof of his
being a bachelor. Not finding any of
his countrymen who kuew him sutiiei
entlv to testify this fact, he determined
to supply the deficiency wi'h the oath
of a native. Meeting a Mexicau in
the street whom he had never seen be
fore, our countryman proposed to him
that he should swear to his beinp unmr r-
ried, for the consideration of five dol
lars. The eenor, after a moment's
study, told the 'Grinpo,' "Get down on
vour hands and knees, and creep
about." Not exactly understanding
what he was at.our friend obeyed.much
to the detriment of his unmentionables.
The other party then told him he was
all right; that he could 6wear how long
he had known him, aud that was.siHce

his readers about it :
The other night when theliule stais
were peeping and the moon hadn't got
up yet, when the gentle breeze was
sighing through the apple trees, and
the leaves were , holding a concert in
the fence corners, when the katy-dids
had pone to warm their whistles and
the crickets had sought winter quarters,
when lovers out on the perches were
huggiiig each other merely because it
was a little cold, and our two h'tle
bantlings were nestling up fast asleep
and looking just like two litte angels,
then Sarah Naid slipped through our

Six aeara of I tic Elouitt Mrud EtiSI
Neuriy one-fourth of all the public
land dipjsed of in 1807 was inkeufor
homesteads, or about 1,600,000 acres
Since ihe Homestead aci was passed
00.000 farms, or more than 7000.000
acres of laud, have been taken up and

Wliile Mr. Revcrdy Johnson is as
suring the builders of the Alabama
and the Liverpool ' Molls" of all sorts
that our country and England are iU
same, only dili'ereui, jl may to well for
the genera! reader to kuuiv there are
fewer landholders in England now,
than there were in trie time of William
tne Conqueror. Iu the) reign of Wil
liam and Mary, less than two hundred
years ago, there were a hundred Hud
sixty thousand English landholders,
while in 1S61 while the population had
increased six fold, the owners of the
soil hae decreased to l;s than thirty
oq? thousand. The American Home
stead Act has made more proprietors
of land ihau there are in ail Great
Dritain. In American there are more
than five million of freeholders.
Thii di-positiou of American public
lands in the interest of tie poor, is at
once a most novel and trilliuut exem
pl.ficaiion of the practical republican
ism of the United States, and of the
value of our great domain. While ru
England less than one-sixhundred and
fifiy-third part of the reeple have any
interest io the soil, here one-brvenih ot
ihe whole number are proprietors.
The Homestead law ranks beside
the act of emancipation, the Declara

ornaments of wise philanthropy. Its
reul:s have been very pleasant aud
successful. It encourages to become
farmers those who might otherwise
take to mechanics or mere clerical
work, and it has a powerful influence
abroad, to bring us excellent cuiens.

Cheerful Coktest. A few years

Methodists and Presbyterians each
built a church about the same lime.
Soon a rivalry arose between them, es
pecially among the juvenile portion of

the Methodist party got th best of the
argument in this way:

The graiiticatioo afforded by the lounge

You cannot indulge iu these practice,
