THE. RLACXS3IITI1 MAN.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.
My mother puts an apron on to keep my canit
ies clean.
And wubhers on my little boots ; anil then I go
and lean
Against the blacksmith's doorway, to watch the
coal fire shine.
The bellows heave, the Iinnimers swing I wish
they all were mine !
The hor-es bet.d their legs and stand; I don't
see how they can ;
But I would love to shoe their feet jast like the
blacksmith man.
When I grow up an old big man, with whiskers
on my chin,
I will not have a grocery store, or dry goods
store, or tin ;
I wil not be a fanner, or lawyer, not a bit ;
Or President all the other boys are meaning to
be it--
Or a banker, with tlie money bills piled high
upon the dan'
I'd rather hold the red-hot iron and be a black
smith man. -
The blacksmith man has got such arms ; his
f hop is such a place ;
He gets as dirly as he tikes, and no one cleans
his face !
And wheu the lightning's in the sky he makes
his bellows blow.
And all his fires flare quickly up, like lightning
down below.
Oh. he must have the nicest time that any per
son can ;
I wish I could grow up to-day, and be a black
smith man !
I mean to have a little house, with vines and
porches to't.
And lixed up nie? and clean for nie when I get
tired of soot.
I'd marry little Susie and have her for my wife.
We've been so well acquainted with each other
all our life !
Oh, I mean to br as hearty and as happy as I
can.
And an honest, g od, hard-working, Jollly, rosy
blacksmith man !
Dedicated to Mike Schnellbacher.
GRANT'S TONGUE LET LOOSE.
Talking on a Scotch Jlailiray at the
Kate of Sixty utiles an Hour.
From the Herald.
I must tell toj an incident about
Mr. Sumner. The first time I eyer s:iw
George William Curtis he called upon
me to request o:i behalf of a number
of influential Kepublicans the re-instate
inent of Mx. Sumner as Chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
I told him that, if I should p to the
Senate and dictate the organization of
the committers, I would be apt to hear
something about the fellow who made
a fortune byminding his own business.
I said I certainly should snirirest the
idea to any part of the legislative
bianeh that should undertake to con
struct rav cabinet. I give him dis
tinctly to understand that I did not
propose to interfere in the matter sit
all, even by sidvicc to personal friends
among the Senators, and that I thought
Mr. Sumner had not done his duty as
Chairman of the committee, because
he had hampered the business of the
State Department by pigeon-holing
treaties for months. Mr. Curtis said
that w;i3 impossible, for Mr. Sumner
had only a short time before, told him
that his successor would find ; clean
docket, and made special claims for the
execution of the work cf the commit
tee. Knowing, as I did, tlie adroit ar
guments used among Mr. Sumner's
friends, I detennin d to test the mat
ter of a ciean docket. I told Mr. Cur
tis that I had proposed to prove to him
that his friend, Mr. Sumner, had not
told him the facts, and that ho made
these, statements knowing them to be
falsehoods. Mr. Curtis was amazed at
my clter, but I assured him that he had
been frequently caught in similar mis
representations. I told Mr. Curtis that
there were nine or eleven treaties be
fore the Senate from the State Depart
ment that had been there several
months, and had been in Mr. Sumner's
hands, but had never been laid before
the committee. I wrote from the spot,
Long Branch, to the State Department,
smdtomyown surprise there proved
to be more treaties tlnirv I had said
there had been in Mr. Sumner's own
hands for a longer lime than I had ex
pected. That wsis the "clean docket."
When I told Mr. Curtis about it and
gave him the record, he w;is rather dis
appointed, lie said it was remarkable.
I told him my object in having the re
cord searched wsis to show him that
Mr. Sumner was not si truthful nit.n,
sis others had found out before me, and
as I h;id discovered on frequent occsi
sions. The work of that committee
when Mr. Cameron tools charge was
in a most deplorable state, due entire
ly to Mr. Sumner's persistent obstrnc
tiveness and dilatoriness.
I had nothing to do with his dismiss
al from the chairmanship of the For
eign Relations Committee, but I was
glad when I heard that he was put otf,
because he stood in the way of even
routine business, like ordinary treaties
with small countries- I may be blam
ed for my opposition to Mr. Sumner's
tsictics, but I was not guided so much
by reason of his personal hatred of my
self ;ts I wsis by si desire to protect our
national interest in diplomatic affairs.
It wsis si sad sight to find it Semite with
the large majority of its members in
sympathy with the Administration,
and with its chairman of the Foreign
Committee in direct opposition to the
foreign policy of the Administration,
in theory sind detail. So I wsis glad
when I heard of his successor's nomi
nation sis chairman of the committee.
"General, they sire running civil ser
vice reform very strong just now'"
"So I see; but it will not work, be
cause the theorists have disagreed
among themselves as to its practical
application, I do not attach much im -
portance to that matter. I do not be
lieve it will succeed, though I wish it
could, in some practical way. Take
3churz, for instance. He is making a
business of civil service reform, liut
he is a humbug, and Mr. Hayes will
find him out before long. It is a good
thing, but it is hard to apply in our
country. It is a'.l very well to say that
the business of ofiice seeking shall be
abolished, but the ofiico seeker cannot
easily be stbolished, and the. more the
theorists quarrel among themselves the
further practical civil service reform
seems to recede."
"What do you think of the dissolu
tion of Republican Ststte organization
in the South?"
"That is one' of the usual violent
effects in wise government after si
scent; of turmoil like we had last fsill.
For myself, I do not care for party.
You can always depend upon the good
S'use of the people of the United
States. They believe in the Republic.
Their llag is to the fore, with strong
arms behind it silwsiys, and they are
sentimental, loyal and brave. They
will never elect a high ofllcisil except
upon si common sense basis. For that
reason I believe the Republican and
Democratic parties of late being so ev
enly divided that the people will be
compelled to vote in si large majority
for the Republican candidate, no mat
ter who he may be. because the Demo
crats will do some silly thing that will
drive the thinking people from their
ranks at the hist moment. The mod
ern Democrsicy always does it. It has
mad"e me smile frequently as I have
thought of it; but there is some fatali
ty at work in the premises.
Speaking of the probability of a rise
in grain in this country, ami the advis
ability of farmers holding the same, an
exchange has this to say:
At the outset three facts stand prom
inently forward: 1st, si famine in In-
uia ; M, a uelicieney in Europe; tl, si
surplus in North America. Of tlie
first the London Times sp; aks sis fol
lows: Hopeless in Southern India, most
critical in Western, Central and North
ern India, and fairly g od in Eastern
India.
Of the socond the English press uni
formly acknowledge si shrinkage of
crops ssn.l sire looking forward to sin
American surplus: Ui.dsr date of
September -I. the Mark Lane Express,
in its weekly review of the British
grain trade, says :
Mot of Eiiglan Is wheat crop is now
cut, but the. carrying of the grain has
been gr-aily delaved by the persistant
rain fsill which has been experienced
in m my pruts of the kingdom, especi
ally in the northern counties. Fortu
nately the temperature has not been
unseasonable, so damage from sprout
ing has not been so great as would have
been the case b id weather been nor
mally warm. Disastrous reports reach
us from Scotland, where storms and
raintall h.tve wrought irreparable dam
age both in cereals and hay. which has
fa-rly rotted ou the ground under ex
cessive moisture. The harvest in the
north would have been three weeks or
si month la e under any circumstances,
but the recent storms render it almost
si failure.
This is General Grant's opinion of
civil service "reform" and other hum
bugs brought out under 'Mr. Hayes' re
markalil? sidministration, as ootsiined
in ;i recent interview:
"General, they are running civil ser
vice reform very strong just now?"
"So I see; but it will not work, be
cause the theorists have disagreed
among themselves as to its practical
application. I do not attach much im
portance to that matter. I do not be
lieve it will succeed, though I wish it
could, in some practical w;iy. Tsike
Schurz for instance, he is making a bu
siness of civil service reform. But he
is a humbug, and Hayes will find him
out before long. It is a good thing,
but hard to apply in our country. It
is all very well to say that the business
of ofiice seeking shall be sibolished, but
the oflice seeker cannot easily be abol
ished, and the more the theorists quar
rel among themselves the further prac
ticsil civil service reform seems to re
cede!" The thing that worries Schurz is that
he may find himself oat before long.

my delegation here altogether, we have
decided that we csuinot. If I should
tell my people that I had been ordered
to go there and had sanctioned the or
der they would scatter all over the
country. This delegation here with
me have told you our opinion and have
decided what to do, but it seems my
plans are not entertained. We have
picked out a good phice and are willing
to go on in the spring, but cannot move
this fall. We would like to be sit pt'aee
and keep peace with the whites, but it
is impossible for us to move awsiy this
fall. We want our agency sit Wound
ed Knee c reek. Your words to me sire
very good, but we do not want to move
to the Missouri river and move back
again in the spring where we are at
present. We are sill prepared for win
ter. White men never throw away
their labors. What white men have
they love. It is the same with us. If
you wsmt us to throw that property
away you should pay us for it. If you
pay us for it probably wo can move
away; otherwise we csmnot.
SECRETARY SCHURZ
replied, saying: You come here to
take council with 'your great father
and he has spoken to you kindly. When
he became your great father he foun 1
in tho books certain treaties. These
treaties were si law to him as well as
they ought to be si law to you. These
treaties mails it his duty to carry pro-
i.-Muns fui tUU, .mil to fooJ on -i
place near the. Missouri river. There
sire many things that are not as you
desire, sunt many not sis we desire, but
sis wise men we have to accommodate
ourselves to things as they are. Your
supplies sire on the Missouri riv r now.
They were carried there in accordance
with law, so we might give you food
when you were hungry, and it is now
too late to carry ihem to any other
dace. The great father wsis pleased
about what you said about taking si
place on White river, and he will be
better plesised if you go near the sup
plies on the Missouri river so he can
help yen when you need. He will not
desire you to remain on the Missouri
river longer than winter. He will be
glad to see you settled down on your
permanent places and will aid you in
every way and give you all that the
white nation permits in the way of
mills, wsigons and schools. All he de
sires you to do now is to aid him in
making it possible for him to help you.
This winter you will need food, and in
sismuch as food cannot be carried nsar
the place where your people now are,
you will have to go near the place
where the food is.

It's Nice to be an Editor.
It looks verv nice to the young man
who has little experience with t tie
world, who has always been among its
tlovver beds, and never among its thorns,
to be ;m editor. Many si man would
almost give the old family homestead
for tlie privilege of presiding over the
editorial columns of a newspaper. But
he little knows the toils and vexations
of such si position. It is doubtful if
there is siny place isi the world in which
the charms and romance of life are so
quickly and utterly destroyed. The
business is si constsmt scrutiny of the
world a dealing with men and women
sis they are. It is the duty of the jour
nsilist to penetrsite the beautiful cover
ing that hides many a deformity, and
to detect its rottonness. Any other
msin would look sit tne charming exte
rior, and would find nothing to offend
his senses or shock his sensitiveness.
He would thus be the gainer, for it is
silwsiys better that the rose should hide
the thorn, unless it become si duty to
expose the thorn to viaw. The editor's
life is largely spent among skeletons.
He has enough of them voluntarily
brought to him to disgust him with
the world. Men come to him to invoke
his assistance to secure for them dis
honorsible ends. Often they are men
who stsind high in the community and
not unfrequently in the church. He
soon lesirns to listen to their propossils
sis a matter of coarse, but they leave
him with a feeling of regret that he
should have entered a profession in
which he is compelled to see so much
that lessens his estimate of mankind.

Mr. C. II. AVinslow, of the board of

not missed hiying every day only three
times since the 3d of March 187G. In
all probability there is not another hen
on the continent who has attended so
strictly to business since the date men

in saying that the owner of that valua
ble foul has not missed more than three
days in the hist ten years answering
some idiotic question as to his cxsict
