The writer next visited the female seotlon ot the asylum. With the exception of "Big Mary," the muscular Irish Amazon, who Is very violent when strangers visit her ward, and who Is the one who smashed Supervisor Torn Nolan's high hat clean down over his ears at the time of the Supervisors' annual visit la3t Winter, there la but one Interesting lunatic in this section.

This is Catherine S. Hunt, familiarly known as "the Queen." Mrs. Hunt has been In the asylum for over fifteen years. She imagines that she is tho only real queen on earth aud she affirms very gravely that the Holy Ghost is embodied in her. The queen is a venerable looking old lady, with a benignant face framed with snow white hair, which is parted In tho middle aud brushed down over the ears in the old fashioned way.

She woars brass bowed spectacles, through which her mild blue eyes beam benevolently. She spends most of her time in writing out revelations which she affirms are imparted to her by God, whoso vice regent on earth she claims to be. The most marked thing about the Queen," however is her costume. She is literally loaded down with heavy brass chains which encircle her nock and fall to the waist Every finger has its ring of brass sot with bright colored glass. Tho most remarkable feature of her costamo It her Stato crown.

This is made of gilt paper and is about two foot in height, is covered with brass chains and elaborately trim mod with bits of colored paper. Surmounting all aro peacock feathers and pendent from this ro markablo structure aro two pink ribbons which trail on the ground. Tho Queen" whon walking through tho hallway rigged out in her entire State regalia is a sight never to be forgotten. It is neediest to say that sho is tho subject of envy to all her crazy neighbors. Whon the writer had finished his visit and returned to the offlco with nr.

Shanks he secured trom that gentleman a few facts and statistics. 'Thoro aro at the present tlmo," said tho doctor in reply to tho writer's inquiry, 530 male and 828 female pationts in the asylum, including the inmates of the three lodges and two pavilions. Sixty male and sixty eight fem.il keepers aro In charge of this army of 1.581 crazy people, gives an average of one keeper to about every eleven lunatics. The piaco Is overcrowded and we are oagorly looking forward to tho tlmo when the County Farm at St. Johnl md will bo roady.

Tho average coat of a lunatic's koep Is now $1.01 a week. It has been as low as 85 cents per week, but provisions havo rison recently." As charges of cruelty have often been brought against tho physicians and keepers at the asylum tho writer would say iu conclusion that, having been thrown in contact quite intimately during tho past yoar with Dr. Arnold and ids assistant, ho can say that never has he mot a mini eouaidoraio, careful or kinder set of men. With tho miserable wage paid it Is, of course, quite impnssinle to secure tlio boit class of keepers, but everything that can be done is done to tnako them treat kindly tho unfortunate pooplo under their charge.

This day wo are iu i'owno to solomnize tho funeral ot Mr. Sergoaut, who died on Monday last. Tho nntno of tho abovo mentioned Sergeant, or Sargent, was Pntor. As he was in full political accord svith Mr.

Nelson, a brief account of him may be of iuterest. lie was a merchant iu Boston, aud came Irom London iu iio was a sti'Jnuous opponent of Andross, and on hisovorthrow was chosen ouo of the CommJtteo of Safety; was a freeman in was named of the council in the now charter The iiamo of (presumably) his first wife is unknown, but she died November 10, 1T00. Iu the following October he' married Mary, tlio widow of Sir William Phips. Her llrst husband was John Hall, aud her father was Captain linger Spencer. Next ho (Peter Sargent), December 19, 170S, married Mehitable, widow of Thomas Conpeiyiud daughter of James Minot.

Ho died February 1711, aud was uried on tho 13th of the same month. John Nelaon aud ids wife both deceased la 1731, within a month of eacli other. Iu a mild iwed and torn pamphlet, ornamented with a skill: aud cross hones and framed iu heavy black Hues, I find ou tho title page tho foilowiug: The Fiual Peaco, Security aud Happiness oi the Upright. A Sermon Deliver'd at Christ Church in Boston Novein b. 2S, 1731 Ou Occasion of tho Death of John Nelson.

Esqr; Which was ou tho 15th of that month Aud Of Mrs Elizabeth Nelson His Consort Which was tho 25lh of October preceding. By Timothy Cutler D. Boslou. New Englnnd Printed by Draper 1735. On the revorse sido of tho pamphlet is written: Fouud among Mrs Broomes papers at her death in 1SS00.

Mrs. Broomowas tho wife of Governor Broome, aud daughter of John Lloyd and his wifo Sarah, daughter of the late Kev. Beujamiu Woolsey. As this article is essentially of the nature of a monograph, the introduction at its close of a short extract from Dr. Cutler's discourse seems opportune and in good form.

The Rev. Mr. Cutlenjwas a distinguished divino ot Boston. Tho general construction and doctrinal deductions of the sermon from which tho subjoined is taken are iu entire pc cordauce with the cotemporaneous theology of tho period: It would be but little to your Edyllcatiou to toil you how honorably the deceased Gentleman was descended: and a personal Character and Couduet are tho main Articles hi his Praise and Honour. However, 1 may say, That with a very good Undorstaudlmr, iiuprovod by Education and Travel, the Spirit and Temper of an Ancient worthy Family appeared in him: Genteel, Enlarged, Liberal, contemning mean sordid Actious.

He passed through many Changes and Events of Life, remarkable in their own nature, and though troublesome aud dunger our in Themselves, and detrimental to ills Family, yet neither dishonourable in the Occasion, or the rojirounuciiC of them. He was immoveably attach'd to what he tho't Just and right; couraglous (as I am told) in beariug Wituess against and reproving vice a Despiser of this World, a lover of his Country, acceptable to his Family, as an Husband, Faiher, and Master, universally affable, courteous and hospitable, ready to do good to all within the Compass of his Abilities aud Opportunities: He had a true Regard to Religion aud Men, and reverenced the Mysteries and the Demands of It: and under tho Senco of his own Unworthiuess, offered to God the Sacrifice, of a broken heart, and a contrite spirit, which he will not dexpisc. This Temper he signally discovered before his own Sickness, and Joyned with it a proper Submission, as he saw the Sickness of his Consort dissolving that happy Bond of Marriage that had so long held thorn together: and with this Temper he closed a life of four score aud one Years, fearlug GOD, aud calmly and quietly trusting his Mercy. Henry Lloyd. "BILL? lit TUB LOW GROUNDS." When Pomp Robinson, of Montezuma, was a young man, he and another fiddler were on their way to a dancing frolic on Shanks' mare.

They stopped and sat down on a log near a branch In tho moonlight to rest, and while resting struck up "Billy In the Low Grounds" on their old "Bet soys" to pass away the time. Soon as the musio started an old ring tall coon came down out of a tree by tho light of the moon aad proceeded waltz out In the road In front of thorn. Pomp made for him with a stick aud up a sapling ho went. The fiddler started off aud the coon camo down again. A large slick was procured and old zip dispatched Just because he was fond of good music.

Making the Acquaintance of Lunatics at the Asylum. How They Are Housed and Cared For Their Attendants Mr. Pettincill and Mrs. Hurst. The Queen and Her Crown.

To go to the couutj' institutions nt Flat bush you tako a Flntbush nvenne car and ride to the city line. Thou you get into a little yellow bobtail cur la elod "Hnly Cross Cemetery" abovo and "County Buildings" below, and in fifteen minutes thoro you are. This sounds simple and easy, but it Isn't always. For instance, the Holy Cross car runs at intervals of about half an hour. No one was ever known to catch a car Just starting Either it is a quarter of a mile away or else it has Just got in from lis trip.

Everybody who has ever had anything to do with these care will soulfully acknowledge that the aliove statement is correct. The writer went out to Flatbusu one day Inst week, and ho has been there boforo, therefore ho knows whereof he speaks. Tho object of the writer's Journoy was to visit the Iusauo Asylum and make the acquaintance of sorno of the more Interesting lunatics confined thoro. Tho Insane Asylum is tho largest of the group of buildings at Flntbush devoted to the needs of the county's poor. It is a huge red brick building, with exton sivo wings, and stands amid grounds filled with noble trees.

At this time of tho year those grounds aro tastofully laid out with artistically arranged llower bods and the grass is kept closely clippod. Most of the work on the grounds and upon the farm adjoining tho asylum la performed by tho patients who aro suffering from theniidor forms of insanity. At tho roar of tlio building is a large neatly kept and Inclosed yard in which the patients aro permitted lo osercise and take recreation. The first thing that strikes the visitor is tho scrupulous neatness pervading both grounds and buildings. entering tho office of I lie asylum tho writer was cordially received by Dr.

John A. Arnold, the gonial general suporin of the county institutions, and Dr. J. J. Shanks, who was appointed the 1st of last May in Dr.

Ferris' place as superintendent under Dr. Arnold, of the asylum. Dr. Arnold, whom tho writer has known for some time, is one of tho kindest of men and yet withal an excellent disciplinarian. He hud buo i connected with tho county institutions since 1S77 la various medical positions aud has always given excellent sati.

faction. He is a rather short, stout man of about 0(1 years of ago, with reddUli hair and whiskers. His face is dooply pitted by tho smallpox but its pleasant expression nnd ihe merry twinkle of Ins blue eyes more than make up for tho defect. Dr. Shanks Is a tall, well built man of 35, with black hair and mustache.

As far as tho wrilor could ob Borve, tho doctor is very popular with the patients under his charge. Each and overy one greeted him, as ho aud tho writer visited the different wards, as though they felt him to bo their protector aud friend. As boforo noticed tho asylum proper is divided by a largo central hall into two tho one on tho right being for males aud that on the left for fomalos. It was to the men's wing that Dr. Shanks first canductod tho writer.

Opening the doorcin Beeting it with the hall the doctor led the way into tho'nrst ward, which Is occupied by tfie quiet patients aud those supposed to be the most harmless. Tho ward was lilco all others in tho namely, a long, wide hallway flanked on eithor side with rooms about 15 by JO, each eonlaiuing au iron cot covered with a scrupulously clean mattress. Thore wero about twenty live men iu this ward in charge of two keepers. They wero a ducidedly uninteresting lot of lunatics, with ono cicoptlon. Ch.irlos IJowo Poliiugill, ho always Introduces himself by bis full name, is a character with whom it is welt Worth spending half au hour.

Picture to yoursolf a man of about 50, noatly dressed in a poppor and salt business suit, with rather ploaiing face set off. with a small mustache, hair noatly brushed, form compact, and you have Charles Howe IVtttngill. Liko all crazy people Pottingill kuows that he is the only sano man in tho building. Indeed a stranger talking to him at tlrst would be strongly lncliuod to believe him, so national is he in everything ho says and does; yet if he should be allowed to go free, in threo or four days he would be apt to do somebody soino pretty sevoro injury. Mr.

I'et tinglll, wiio has been in the asylum some twelve years, was a boss painter before he was sent there. Ho got it into hiB bend that a conspiracy had boon formed by a former sorgoaut of police, now dead, named Crafts, to kill him, and Anally became so crazy on tho subject that it was fouud necessary to confino him. His delusion still is that Crafts is waylaying him to murder him and ho imagines again that ho livoi in tho hall abovo him. Pettiu gill's room is a sight to be roniembored. Every inch of tho walls aro covorod with pictures from Puck, Judge and othor illustrated papers.

Those pictures lie takes particular delight in explaining to visitors, and, with a long pointer iu his hand, will describe each with such shrow.I wit as lo keep his audience in a gale of laughtor. Beside tho picturos Pettiugill has four canaries hanging from tho coiling of his room of which ho takes tho tondorest care. Itecently Dr. Shanks has allowod Pottingill to go ut side of tho yard by himself fjr three or four hours at a time and occasionally sends him to tho city on some trifling errand. These privileges ho has novor abusod, but at tho hour set for his return is punctually back.

He values tho littlo privileges wo give him," said Dr. Shanks to tho writer, and has never abusod them. We never let him out for mora than threo or four hours at a time. If he should remain out threo or four days tho excitement would probably bo too much lor him and he would make trouble." Thore were few other inter eating patients In the remaining sixteen wards, constituting tho homo of the 523 male pationts. There wore men to bo seen with all sorts of poculiur delusions, but none of the better class.

Most of them are laboring people or paupers of a very uninteresting kind. Tho visit which the writer made in the ward in which the more violent pationts aro confined left, however, an improsslou of horror upon his mind that will take months to eradicate. Imagine, if you can, Hogarth's bedlam. Thea imagine yoursolf walking into it with a companion, both defenceless, and hearing a door click behind you. There aro twenty eight violent pationts in ward 9 and two unarmed attendants.

As the writer ou tered with the doctor, a slight man with coal black hair, bloodshot oyes, thin white face, tho foam dropping frm lips tonsely drawn back over set teeth, sprang forward yelling. Look out fer him," said the doctor, drawing the writer back; "he is one of the most dangerous patients we havo." The attendants, ever watchful, had seen the man spring forward, and, seizing him by tho arms, thrust him into one of the rooms and locked him in. The writer would have given every cent ho had to havo gotten out of the place, but he was bound not to show the white feather, so kept on. Tho presence of a visitor with the docto. excited the remaining patients and they crowded around tho writer, each one telling hit story aud gesticulating wildly.

Most of them were Oiled with the delusion that they had been kidnapped aud imprisoned unjustly and they begged tho writer to use his in fluouce to liberate them. Others paced up and down like wild beasts, now and again uttering half human cries of rage or distress. Tho writer was la tho place only five minutes, but it seemed to him an eternity. No money on earth could tempt him to go in there again. What salaries aro those attendants paid 7" he asked tho doctor, as a moro quiet place was reached.

"The highest wages we pay la $22 and tho average salary is from $18 to J20 per month." "How io it poslble to get men for that7" "It is surprising, isn't it 7 To tell tho truth, it Is very hard to get the right sort of men tor such paltry wages. Many of our attendants are painters, carpenters, out of a Job, and they take such positions because they can't get anything better for tho time being." "Doesn't the constant living among tho luatic3 Bomotlmes make au attendant Insane 7" "Naturally it has a tendency that way. We have an attendant here now who weut Insane a short time ago, but we cannot affirm positively that daily contact with his charges made him so." Are tho attendants allowed to carry arms or clubs, doctor, for defense ia case they should be attacked?" "They aro not Wo endoavsr to rule entirely by kindness and firmness." One must bo firm with an insane person and show him that he is not feared. The great safeguard to tho keeper, however, is the fact that Insane people never act in concert. There have been raro Instances when two havo acted together, but as a general thing moat of the lunatics will aid a keeper when he is attacked by any ono of their number.

SEW YOBKg Relatives and Records of the Lloyd Family. Travel In Early Times Crossing the Sound to Queen's Vlllape The Mayflower, Speedwell and Other Sloops Captains Wimble and; Dyer and Contemporaneous Skippers. I herewith present the copy of a letter of Senator James Lloyd, of Massachusetts, to his father In law, Samuol Breck, of Philadelphia. It is interesting, both from personal and historical retereuces, and serves, to a certain degree, outline a character of exceptional strength AUOT. 20TH, 1817.

My dear Sir I notice, from your letter to Anna, Ctlie Seuator's wife that the motto on our carriage had attracted aome.atleulion, aud become an object ot speculation; that In the newspapers it had been called a riddle; and I nlno observe your wish to receive from mo au explanation of it. From the propounder of a riddle, tho solution, you know, is not fairly to be expected; in addition to which, the story will not only be long, but, being about a family connection, will be c. prosiug one, except to those immediately interested in it. I shall therefore fool no groat Inclination to give it, for the indulgence of au idle curiosity, to a common querist; but trom you the inquiry is a natural one, and I feel bound from many motives to accede to your request and lo furnish the reply to it which fellows. maternal groat grandfather (you wilt perceive what you are coming to) John Nelson, was a spirited aud respectable iuhalil taut oi Bostou in tho latter pari of the seventeenth century.

He was related to the Temple aud Buckingham families iu England ono of his daughters was tho mother of tho late Sir John Temple; a second married the father of E.i ward Doiv.ie, of Uedham This is a mistako, none of his daughters four in number married a Dowse.

Soon alter this Nelson, beijg In Nova Scotia on mercantile business, was taken prisoner by the French Indian aliies, and carried tj Quebec, where, ob taiui.is intelligence oi an in.euded and important expedition that was then prepariug iu Canada against tho eitlemonts on tho Penobscot aud Piscaiaqua rivers, at mo very great risk ol lile he endeavored to communicate tho aestns of tho French to Iho Government of Massachusetts, and succeeded iu his attempt or procuring two Frenchmen to he the hearers of tho )ti, who, after executing their commission, were rntaituu, uarriod t.i Canada and punished as deserters. Mr. Nelson wiscarriol with thorn, iu expectation of sharing tlio same uuo. They wcr stmt before his eyes; nut lie was remanded lo prison, and soon after soul to France; and wheu ou his passage, be ing slill alive lo Interests ot ms no again succeo by prevailing with a fellow passenger, to carry iiitorniatiou of a second project of the rroucli to send twelve men of war, and two ihuuH iud iroou.

which were then daily expected in Canada from Europe, to make a doscent oa Uio Englisu colonies, and tosirop mo coast from Now Hampshire to Carohua. On iiia arrival in France he was confined in a smali hole or dungeon for two years, without hoieg permitted to see anyone other thau tho person wiio fed him with his victuals throuu'ti a crate. At the expiration of this time a gentleman, who had notice! these daily supplies, had the curiosity to inquire who the prisoner was, aud to speak 1,0 him, and lo oiler his services. Mr. Nelson desired ho other favor than the transmission of a loner from him lo his lriouds iu England; iu consequence of which, a demand was soou made for his exchange or release.

lie was tuen considered person of some importance, and was taken from bib dungeon aud sent to too Hastile, whero he reniuleed until shurily before thu termination of tho war by tho Peace of Kyswiek, when he was allowod to go to England on his parole, and on security buing glveu by a French gentleman (tradition says iu me penal sum of 2.1,000) for liia return. Soon after this peace was uuncludod, and, the circumstances of his sluiaiiou und conduct haying excited some attention, ho was questioned by King William, who nlso askod him if he intended goiug to France, observing that, as the war was thou euded, his doing it was unnecessary. Nolaou replied it was ids intention to return aud mentioned the security that had been given for him. The king, with some warmth, repeated that it was unnecessary, and forbade him to do it. "Will your majesty thou pay my bonds?" was asked.

"No," said the king. Then Nelson replied: "1'lease God I live, I'll gol" aud go he did. And as an evidence of respect for his memory and admiration of his integrity aud iudopendenco, one of his remote descendants your present correspondent has adopted his answer for tho coat of arms on which those of his ancestors are quartered. The sequel ot tue history of Mr. Nelson is neither a very grateful nor a very uncommon one.

After delivering himuelf up In France, ho wasdischarged aud returned to Euglaud, whonj Hutchinson, iu his "History of Massachusetts," says ho was brought Into trouble for going back to Franco coutrary to the King's order; but at length returned to his family after ton or eleVbn years' absence. His private concerns, during this period suffered extremely; nor did he receive any compensation for his disinterested and hazardous sorvices and suffoi lugs either from tue royal or colonial governments. Probably his manliness and honesty prevented tho one, aud his disposition aud religious opinious the other; for the same author (Hutchinson, In whose words most of the preceding narrative is given.) remarks, in reference to his couduet at the seizure of sir Edmund Andross, that he was a young gentleman of good family, an enemy to tho tyrannical government of Andross, but an Episcopalian in priuciple, and of a cay, free temper, which prevented his being allowed any share iu tho administration after it was settled, although he was at the head of the party that demanded the surrender of ihe fort The same objec.lous, probably, attached to him through life, as he was not of a temper to obviate them; and a similar fute In some degree has followed his memory; for although it has been honored and cherished by his posterity, aud a shade of imputation never rested upon it, yet two reverend editors or compilers of "Annals of New England" and "The Eminent of It," amid a hosl of others whom it would puzzle the genius of a Pope or a Churchill to damn to fame eveu in verse that might be otherwise immortal, have not deemed his name worthy of their uotlco; I should hope from ignorance of the preceding facts somo of which, though not the principal part, are derived from family anecdotes rather than from the prevalence of the same ungracious and uncharitable feelings which actuated their predecessors. Voila, my friend, the denouoraont you havo asked of tho mystery "of the motto." If the perusal car rlos with it anything of ponance you have to remember it Is wholly of your own seeking, although I caunot say there is ordinarily much of comfort or consolation to bo derived from this reflection. Yours affectionately, etc, JAMES LLOYD.

There were two ways by which John Nelson and other friends and relativos were enabled to pay visits to the proprietor of Queens Village. One was to take the stage from Boston, to Bristol, H. and thence by packet or sloop direct through the Sound to their destination. The other was to take the ferry plying from some point on Rhode Island to tho easterly part of Long Island, and thenee Journey westward by private conveyance, either In carriages or on horseback. The time consumed In a transit from Boston to Huntington, L.

could not, under favorable circumstances, be less than three days sometimes more. If those venerable shades could now hold a celestial timekeeper on the present rate of speed over the Bame route they would get new ideas of the Increased velocity attained by modern mechanical inventions. Among tho sloops of those old times that did a constant and thriving business In the freight and passenger business were the Mayflower and Speedwell, commanded respectively by tho Captains Wimble and Dyer. By the bills of lading in my possession the cargoes were of a sufficiently heterogeneous character to please the most enthusiastic vendors of Yankee notions. And then the formulas of tho bills ot lading were such a compound of superstition and pious rigmarole that I don't wonder that some hesitated before securing a passage.

But the commanders of those craft wore a painstaking and cautious set, and they generally took tholr tlme, but got there all the same. Another thing: They did'nt go dry or hungry, and thoy did a big thing in fishing when the wind died out. Almost always hogsheads of cider, Jamaica spirits, French brandy and old Hollands wero on tap, and with these and good company, who would care whether school kept or not There might be a worse thing, even at this day, than a cruise con ductedunder similar conditions. Here is Mr. Nelson's letter to his son in law, H.

Lloyd, then a resident of Queens Village, L. I. It Is one of many In the writer's possession Boston, Feb: 12: 171. Jfr. Henry Lloyd, Sr: Since yr Last to me wo have reed a letter from yr wife to her sister Peggie Mr.

Nelson's daughter Elizabeth, subsequently Mrs. Steele. II. L.J whereby we have been informed of ye state of yr family and are much concerned to hear of ye Lingering indisposition wth which you have been so much afflicted, but are in hopes that by this tlmo you are restored to your health. It has pleased Uod to distinguish our family here by preserving us in the visitations and sicknesses web these parts have laid under for a Ions time, whereby many people have died; but we begin now to be more healthy With this you havo enclosed our deed for those Lands In Pensylvania in as good form as could be done in this place, and if anything be wanting, shall be ready to Such further methods as may be prescribed.

I have agreed wth my Br Taller Brother in law William Taller 2nd, son Will lam 1st and his wife liebecca, daughter Israel Stoughtn 1st L. that Instead of being his natural due, there IB to be allowed him but one half. The Charges In recovery first to be deducted, so that you may now dispose of it as you shall see fitting. As for mj Brothers part, I shall Eadoavor to dis cratic policy of free trade adopted by Ihe present Administration, aud indorsed in convention by tiie parly, bein; if carried out, injurious to the labor element, in this country, and as that element Is lurceiy composed of my eountrymon, for whoso social elevation I have labored fer years, I reel ailed upon upon to antagonize that ruinous policy, and, therefore, I hereby lonrter my resignation as as a niotnborof your association, hoping that tho tirno is not far distant whon lean rejoin a pu rified Democracy, divested of that unsympa thetic and vicious element which has lately crept into it, with tho ohjoct of bringing our wage workers into open competition with tho pauper labor of monarchical ridden Europe, and of destroying our American industries. Some of my brother Democrats of tho AsBodatloa repudiate tho idea that tho party policy Is freo trade, and if it were that they would oppose it to the extent of their power.

In answer to this I will say that the rank aud filo of tlio party have no voice in iho matter once they cast their ballots, and if these ballots bo cast to Indorse tho present Administration they invest him with power to. carry out his own will. What is his will in the matter? It is on record, and if that record does not, to demonstration, prove him to be a Free Trader, It proves him to be a quibbler. When Governor of the State ho declared that tho New York pilots should not recolve more wagos thau were paid to the pilots of other couutrios. In other words, thai tho wage workers here should not receive more wages than were paid to the wage workers of foreign countries.

In his message to Congress he says that the tariff tax should be reduced to tho wants of the Government economically administered (mark these words), aud that the internal tax on whisky and tobacco should not be touched as these items wero luxuries. Now aud here is whero the cloven foot shows itself the tax on tobacco and whisky is, of itsolf, sufficient to defray the expenses of tho Government economically administered. Then there would bo no noed for the import tax aud it is his intention to have none; Having thus done away with the protection tax what will the state of labor bo How can tho Brooklyn manufacturer, who pays $2 a day to his workmen, compete ill tho open market with tho Loeds manufacturer, who pays his workmen only 75 cents a day 7 That ho caunot do so admits of no sophistry. Tho British press, with ono exception, laudate tho Mugwump Democratic policy of free trade; that ono oxcojitiou is tho Dudir'n Freeman's Journal, the organ of that noblo Irish patriot, Charles Stewart Paruell, who cannot conceive how an Irishman could cast his ballot to feed John Bull at home and enable him to further tighten the coercive chains on unhappy Erin. The pro British policy of free trade can never obtain in this country oxcopt by the votes of Irith born citizens, and tho Irishman who would, at the bidding and in the interest of the inveterate enemy of his race aud nation, cast his ballot to destroy the industry of that country Whore a man is a man if he is willing to toil, Aud the humblest may gather tho fruits of the soil, and which received him with open arms, clothed him and gave him food and shelter and the voice of a freeman, when they were denied him in the land of his birth, Is a greator ingrate than the snake which turned on his benefactor, and a deeper dyed traitor to his country than Benedict Arnold of notorious memory.

Very respectfully, M. J. LOGAN. 814 Pacific stbket, July 23, 1883. Logan's criticisms on Cleveland as Governor Indicate that he voted against him for President If so, he is numerically no loss to tho Democrats and his lotter shows he is no gain mentally to the He publicans.

Ed. Eagle. A SUNDAJ SCHOOL PICNIC. A Settle lucident Which Made It Rc maricable. The third annual afternoon excursion of the Young People's Union of the Twelfth Street Reformed Church, which left Ward's Dock, foot of Sackett street, for Eureka Spring Grove, Saturday afternoon, last proved to be the most successful and enjoyable one since the organization of the union.

Music was furnished by Doverell's military band. The excursionists arrived safely at the grove about 5:15 and were soon scattered about enjoying their lunches, with the exception of a few who, in their hurry to catch tho boat, had forgotten to take any, and had to bo satisfied with the inhalation of the frosh air for which tho grove has long been notod. A well known Bowery shark, who fairly made the roots of tho trees tremble as he walked stealthily about, succeeded in fleecing some of tho "little Innocents" out of their pennies by producing throe half English walnut shells and a littlo rubber ball and made tho hills resound with the following cry: "Here you are! Now's your time to make a fortune in a miuutel I'll bet all the way from a quarter to a there ain't a person in the crowd that kin tell which piece tho ball Is under." Just then a little bay they called Sunday stepped up and says: "I'll go a quarter." "I'll take," says Sharkle and, of course, allowed Sunday to win, executing to double the bet next time. "I'll stake another quarter," says Sunday and, producing a perforated quarter which he had several times unsuccessfully attempted to pass elsewhere, put up and lost. Sharkie grabbed tho money, but when he fouud he had bean taken In by Sauday, he hastily left, muttering to himself: "Well, 1 guess this is the first time a 'profesa' was ever beat by a Sunday school boy."
