E. DROOD</b>.</p> + + <p>AN ADAPTATION.</p> + + <p>BY ORPHEUS C. KERR.</p> + + <p>CHAPTER XVII.</p> + + <p>INSURANCE AND ASSURANCE.</p> + + <p>Six months had come and gone and done it; the weather + was as inordinately hot as it had before been intolerably + cold; and the Reverend OCTAVIUS SIMPSON stood waiting, in + the gorgeous Office of the Boreal Life Insurance Company, + New York, for the appearance of Mr. MELANCTHON + SCHENCK.</p> + + <p>Having been directed by a superb young clerk, who + parted his hair in the middle, to "just stand out of + the passage-way and amuse yourself with one of our + Schedules for awhile," until the great life-Agent + should come in, the Gospeler read a few schedulistic + pages, proving, that if a person had his life Insured at + the age of Thirty, and paid his premiums regularly until + he was Eighty-five, the cost to him and profit to the + Company would, probably, be much more than the amount he + had insured for. It must, then, be evident to him, that, + upon his death, at Ninety, the Company would have + received, in all, sufficient funds from him to pay the + full amount of his Policy to the lady whom he had always + introduced as his wife, and still retain enough to + declare a handsome Dividend for itself. Such was the + sound business-principle upon which the Boreal was + conducted; and the merest child must perceive, that only + the extremely unlikely coincidence of at least four + insurers all dying before Eighty-five could endanger the + solvency of the beneficent institution.—Having + mastered this convincing argument, and become greatly + confused by its plausibility, Mr. SIMPSON next gave some + attention to what was going on around him in the Office, + and allowed his overwrought mind to relax cheerfully in + contemplation thereof. One of human nature's + peculiarities was quite amusingly exemplified in the + different treatment accorded to callers who were + "safe risks," and to those who were not. Thus, + the whisper of "Here comes old Tubercles, + again!" was prevalent amongst the clerks upon the + entrance of a very thin, narrow-chested old gentleman, + whom they informed, with considerable humor, that he was + only wasting hours which should be spent with a spiritual + adviser, in his useless attempts to take out a Policy in + <i>that</i> office. The Boreal couldn't insure men + who ought to be upon their dying beds instead of coughing + around Insurance offices. Ha, ha, ha! Another gentleman, + florid of countenance and absolutely without neck, was + quickly checked in the act of giving his name at one of + the desks; one clerk desiring another clerk to look, + under the head of "A.," in his book, for + "<i>Apoplexy</i>," and let this man see that we + can't take such a risk as he is on any terms. A third + caller, who really looked quite healthy except around the + eyes, was also assured that he need not call + again—"Because, you see," explained the + clerkly wag, "it's no go for you to try to play + your BRIGHT'S Disease on <i>us!</i>" When, + however, the applicant was a robustious, long-necked, + fresh individual, he was almost lifted from his feet in + the rush of obliging young Boreals to show him into the + room of the Medical Examiner; and when, now and then, an + agent, or an insurance-broker, came dragging in, by the + collar, some Safe Risk, just captured, there was an + actual contest to see who should be most polite to the + panting but healthy stranger, and obtain his private + biography for the consideration of the Company.</p> + + <p>The Reverend OCTAVIUS studied these sprightly little + scenes with unspeakable interest until the arrival of Mr. + SCHENCK, and then followed that popular benefactor into + his private office with the air of a man who had gained a + heightened admiration for his species.</p> + + <p>"So you have come to your senses at last!" + said Mr. SCHENCK, hastily drawing his visitor toward a + window in the side-room to which they had retired. + "Let me look at your tongue, sir."</p> + + <p>"What do you mean?" asked the Gospeler, + endeavoring to draw back.</p> + + <p>"I mean what I say. + Let—me—see—your—tongue.—Or, + stop!" said Mr. SCHENCK, seized with a new thought, + "I may as well examine your general organization + first." And, flying at the astounded Ritualistic + clergyman, he had sounded his lungs, caused a sharp pain + in his liver, and felt his pulse, before the latter could + phrase an intelligent protest.</p> + + <p>"You may die at any moment, and probably + will," concluded Mr. SCHENCK, thoughtfully; + "but still, on the score of friendship, we'll + give you a Policy for a reasonable amount, and take the + chance of being able to compromise with your mother on a + certain per centage after the funeral."</p> + + <p>"I don't want any of your plagued + policies!" exclaimed the irritated Gospeler, pushing + away the hand striving to feel his pulse again.</p> + + <p>"As you have expressed a desire to resign the + guardianship of your wards, Mr. and Miss PENDRAGON, and I + have agreed to accept it, my purpose in calling here is + to obtain such statement of your account with those young + people as you may be disposed to render."</p> + + <p>"Ah!" returned the other, in sullen + disappointment. "That is all, eh? Allow me to inform + you, then, that I have cancelled the Boreal policies + which have been granted to the Murderer and his sister; + and allow me also to remark, that a dying clergyman like + yourself might employ his last moments better than + encouraging a Southern destroyer of human life."</p> + + <p>"I do not, cannot believe that MONTGOMERY + PENDRAGON is guilty," said Mr. SIMPSON, firmly. + "Having his full confidence, and thoroughly knowing + his nature, I am sure of his innocence, let appearances + be what they may. Consequently, it is my determination to + befriend him."</p> + + <p>"And you will not have your life + insured?"</p> + + <p>"I will not, sir. Please stop bothering + me."</p> + + <p>"And you call yourself a clergyman!" cried + Mr. SCHENCK, with intense scorn. "You pretend to be + a Ritualistic spiritual guide; you champion people who + slay the innocent and steal devout men's umbrellas; + and yet you do not scruple to leave your own high-church + Mother entirely without provision at your death.—In + such a case," continued the speaker, rising, while + his manner grew ferocious with + determination—"in such a case, all other + arguments having failed, my duty is plain. Yon shall not + leave this room, sir, until you have promised to take out + a Boreal Policy."</p> + + <p>He started, as he spoke, for the door of the + private-office, intending to lock it and remove the key; + but the unhappy Ritualist, fathoming his design, was + there before him, and tore open the door for his own + speedy egress.</p> + + <p>"Mr. SCHENCK," observed the Gospeler, + turning and pausing in the doorway, "you allow your + business-energy to violate all the most delicate + amenities of private life, and will yet drive some + maddened mortal to such resentful use of pistol, knife, + or poker, as your mourning family shall sincerely + deplore. The articles on Free Trade and Protection in the + daily papers have hitherto been regarded as the climax of + all that utterly wearies the long-suffering human soul; + but I tell you, as a candid friend, that they are but + little more depressing and jading to the vital powers + than your unceasing mention of life-insurance."</p> + + <p>"These are strong words, sir," answered Mr. + SCHENCK, incredulously. "The editorial articles to + which you refer are considered the very drought of + journalism; those by Mr. GREELEY, especially, being so + dry that they are positively dangerous reading without a + tumbler of water."</p> + + <p>"Yon brought the comparison upon yourself, Mr. + SCHENCK. Good day."</p> + + <p>Thus speaking, the Reverend OCTAVIUS SIMPSON hurried + nervously from the Boreal temple; not fairly satisfied + that he had escaped a Policy until he found himself + safely emerged on Broadway and turning a corner toward + Nassau Street. Beaching the latter bye-way, after a brief + interval of sharp walking, he entered a building nearly + opposite that in which was the office of Mr. DIBBLE; and, + having ascended numerous flights of twilight stairs to + the lofty floor immediately over the saddened rooms + occupied by a great American Comic Paper, came into a + spidery garret where lurked MONTGOMERY PENDRAGON,</p> + + <p>"Hard at it?" he asked, approaching a + ricketty table at which sat the persecuted Southerner, + reading a volume of HOYLE'S Games.</p> + + <p>"My only friend!" ejaculated the lonely + reader, hurriedly covering the book with an arm. "I + am, as you see, studying law here, all alone with these + silent friends."</p> + + <p>He waved his thin hand toward a rude shelf on which + were several well-worn City Directories of remote dates, + volumes of Patent Office Reports for the years '57 + and '59, a copy of Mr. GREELEY'S Essays on + Political Economy, an edition of the Corporation Manual, + the Coast Survey for 1850, and other inflaming + statistical works, which had been sent to him in his + exile by thoughtful friends who had no place to keep + them.</p> + + <p>"Cheer up, brother!" exhorted the good + Gospeler, "I'll send you some nice theological + volumes to add to your library, which will then be + complete. Be not despondent. All will come right + yet."</p> + + <p>"I reckon it will, in time," returned the + youth, moodily. "I suppose you know that my sister + is determined to come here and stay with me?"</p> + + <p>"Yes, MONTGOMERY, I have heard of her noble + resolution. May her conversation prove sustaining to + you."</p> + + <p>"There will be enough of it, I reckon, to sustain + half a dozen people," was the despondent answer. + "This is a gloomy place for her, Mr. SIMPSON, + situated, as it is, immediately over the offices of a + Comic Paper."</p> + + <p>"And do you think she would care for cheerful + accessories while you are in sorrow?" asked the + Gospeler, reproachfully.</p> + + <p>"But it is so mournful—that floor + below," persisted the brother, doubtfully. "If + there were only something the least bit more lively down + there—say an Undertaker's."</p> + + <p>"A Sister's Love can lessen the most crushing + gloom, MONTGOMERY."</p> + + <p>A silent pressure of the hand rewarded this + encouraging reminder of sanguine friendship; and, after + the depressed law-student had promised the Reverend + OCTAVIUS to walk with him as far as the ferry in a few + moments, the said Reverend departed for a hasty call upon + the old lawyer across the street.</p> + + <p>Benignant Mr. DIBBLE sat near a front window of his + office, and received the visitor with legal serenity.</p> + + <p>"And how does our young friend enjoy himself, Mr. + SIMPSON, in the retreat which I had the honor of + commending to you for him?"</p> + + <p>The visitor replied, that his young friend's + retreat, by its very loftiness, was calculated to inspire + any occupant with a room-attic affection.</p> + + <p>"And how, and when, and where did you leave Mr. + BUMSTEAD?" inquired Mr. DIBBLE.</p> + + <p>"As well as could be expected; this morning, at + Bumsteadville," said the Gospeler, with answer as + terse and comprehensive as the question.</p> + + <p>"—Because," added the lawyer, quickly, + "there he is, now, coming out of a refreshment + saloon immediately under the building in which our young + friend takes refuge."</p> + + <p>"So he is!" exclaimed the surprised Mr. + SIMPSON, staring through the window.</p> + + <p>There, indeed, as indicated, was the Ritualistic + organist; apparently eating cloves from the palm of his + right hand as he emerged from the place of refreshment, + and wearing a linen coat so long and a straw hat of such + vast brim that his sex was not obvious at first glance. + While the two beholders gazed, in unspeakable + fascination, Mr. BUMSTEAD suddenly made a wild dart at a + passing elderly man with a dark sun-umbrella, + ecstatically tore the latter from his grasp, and + passionately tapped him on the head with it. Then, before + the astounded elderly man could recover from his + amazement, or regain the gold spectacles which had been + knocked from his nose, the umbrella, after an instant of + keen examination, was restored to him with a humble, + almost abjectly apologetic, air, and Mr. BUMSTEAD hurried + back, evidently crushed, into the refreshment saloon.</p> + + <p>"His brain must be turned by the loss of his + relative," murmured the Gospeler, pitifully.</p> + + <p>"His umbrellative, you mean," said Mr. + DIBBLE.</p> + + <p>When these two gentlemen had parted, and the Reverend + OCTAVIUS SIMPSON had been escorted to the ferry, as + promised, by MONTGOMERY PENDRAGON, the latter, after a + long, insane walk about the city, with the thermometer at + 98 degrees, returned to his attic in time to surprise a + stranger climbing in through one of the back windows.</p> + + <p>"Who are you?" exclaimed the Southern youth, + much struck by the funereal aspect, sexton-like dress, + and inordinately long countenance of the pallid, + light-haired intruder.</p> + + <p>"Pardon! pardon!" answered he at the window, + with much solemnity. "I am a proprietor of the Comic + Paper down below, and am eluding the man who comes every + day to tell me how such a paper <i>should</i> be + conducted. He is now talking to the young man writing the + mail-wrappers, who, being of iron constitution and + unmarried, can bear more than I. There was just time for + me to glide out of the window at sound of that fearful + voice, and I climbed the iron shutter and found myself at + your casement.—Hark! Do you hear the buzz down + there? He's now telling the young man writing the + mail-wrappers what kind of Cartoons should be got-up for + <i>this</i> country.—Hark, again! and the young man + writing the mail-wrappers have clinched and are rolling + about the floor.—Hark, once more!

Does he lead you in thought, or + the expression thereof? Then, wherefore? And if not, + wherever may the just reason be found for your + indifference?</p> + + <p>The science of Universology, as so delightfully + unfolded by Mr. ANDREWS, is one that must ere long + overtop and engulf all others, seeing that it is, of + itself, the science which embodies and contains all. It + teaches that the universe exists in time and + space—a fact never discovered till now—or + that, rather, it exists in space and time, as the two + negative containers of its <i>statism</i> or existence, + and of its <i>motism</i> or eventuation, (its chain of + events.) It shows that statism, or + world-existence-at-rest, in space, is analogous with the + cardinal series of numeration; and motism or + world-existence-in-motion, in time, analogous with the + ordinal series of numbers; and that, finally, statism and + cardinism, (as of the four cardinal points in the + orientation of space,) are analogous with spiritualities + and the spirit world; and that motism and ordinism + (succession by steps) are analogous with temporalities, + (transitory things) and so with the mundane or transitory + sphere.</p> + + <p>Now this is the whole subject in a nutshell—a + subject it behooves you and all other deep thinkers to + grapple withal.

Finding + that some twenty hours were consumed in the transit, Mr. + P. thought that, considering his hurry, he had better, + perhaps, have gone to Newark for a day's fishing off + the piers. But he was at the St. Lawrence now, and it + would not do to complain. He hired a boat, lines, bait + and two navigators, and set out bravely.</p><img src= + "images/06b.jpg" align="right" alt=""> + + <p>He sailed among a crowd of islands where either the + bowsprit or the boom was continually getting caught in + the shrubbery and rocks, until he came to island No. 18. + Here was a picnic party.</p> + + <p>For reasons which the accompanying view may render + obvious, Mr. P. and his men declined the invitation of + the picnickers to stop and join them. The boat continued + on until it reached the channel between islands No. 87 + and No. 88, and there Mr. P. got out his lines and + commenced to fish, trolling his bait behind as the boat + slowly sailed, under the hot sun, among those lovely + isles, where, to be sure, burning's half o' the + sport, but where "burning SAPPHO" would have + lost herself utterly, and probably have tumbled into some + of the watery intricacies and have put herself out.</p> + + <p>Mr. P. did not have much luck at first.

By the + payment of a sum, which it will require a club of thirty + subscribers to make good to him, Mr. P. concluded the + arrangement, and they sailed back to replace the island. + But what was the horror of the party, when they perceived + on the unfortunate bit of British territory, a plate, + which had stuck fast by reason of a covering of the juice + of plum-pie, and a fork which was rammed firmly into the + earth!</p> + + <p>It needed but few collateral evidences to convince Mr. + P. and his men that this was the island where they had + seen the picnic.</p> + + <p>And where were the picnickers?</p> + + <p>If any of Mr. P's. subscribers in Prince EDWARD + Island, Costa Rica, the Gallipagoes, or other outstanding + places, receive their paper rather late this week, they + are informed that, in consequence of his having spent + three entire days exploring the labyrinth of these + islands in order to find the bodies of the unfortunate + party of pleasure, (which bodies he did not find,) Mr. P. + was very much delayed in his office business.

Nor does it despise smaller + venison, for it can batten upon dead kittens, too, and + fatten upon asphyxiated pup.

The waters have thus been rendered unfit for + bathing in, as the air has been rendered pernicious to + breathe—another rendering by the New York Rendering + Company, whose manifest mission is to offalize the + world.</p> + + <p>It is pleasant to know, then, that the renderings of + the New York Rendering Company are likely to be + reactionary as well as suicidal, (perhaps suetcidal might + be a better word here,) in their results. Their + "offence is rank," and has reached the nose of + authority, for we find it stated that "Mayor HALL + has already made complaint against the New York Rendering + Company, and that they will he indicted at the next + sitting of the Grand Jury."</p> + + <p>And when their boiling nuisances come to be seized, as + we trust they will be, how jolly to see them + "rendering to Seizer" all that has rendered + them the nuisance they are!

He + gave his name as CHARLES A.

He was armed with a + small pewter squirt, with which he was trying to smear + the front of that building by drawing up dirty water from + the gutter. The range of the squirt did not appear to + reach more than half-way across the street. The water + used was very foul, leaving stains upon a dirt-cart that + was passing. While witness was watching the prisoner, the + Hon. WM. M. TWEED came down the steps from Tammany Hall, + and, upon seeing him, prisoner ran away, but was seized + by witness, before he could make his escape.</p> + + <p>On being interrogated by the magistrate, prisoner said + that he hardly knew what he was doing when arrested. The + <i>Sun</i> was in his eyes at the time. If it hadn't + been so, he would not have missed his shot. He must do + something for a living, and he thought that throwing + dirty water was as good an occupation as any other. Had + made money out of it by threatening respectable people + with his pewter squirt, and they would give him money + rather than have their clothes soiled. He would do + anything to make money; and he didn't in the least + mind dirtying his hands in the making of it.</p> + + <p>To a question by the magistrate, as to whether he had + had anything to do with casting offal into the bay, + prisoner laughed in a wild manner, and said that he, for + one, could never be accused of wasting good, honest dirt + in that way. All the offal in the world, said prisoner, + wasn't too much for him to use in bespattering the + objects of his attention, friends as well as foes. He had + heaved tons of offal, already, at Mr. A. OAKEY HALL, + (whom he evidently imagined to be an Irishman, and called + O'HALL,) He didn't care whom he hit, in fact, so + long as he could make it pay.</p> + + <p>A gentleman connected with the velocipede interest, + whose name our reporter did not catch, here stated that + he became acquainted with prisoner nearly two years ago, + while the velocipede frenzy was at its height. He had + constructed to order for the prisoner a peculiar + velocipede called the <i>"Sun Squirt."</i> It + had a Dyer's tub attached to it, which was filled + with bilge-water. On this machine, the prisoner, armed + with a pewter squirt, used to practise for several hours + a day, careering rapidly around the rink, and taking + flying shots, as he went, at large posters attached to + the wall, having portraits on them of General GRANT, Hon. + H. GREELEY, Hon. WM. M. TWEED, The Mayor, Governor + HOFFMAN, and several other citizens of admitted position + and respectability. The bilge-water usually came back + upon him, however, and he was generally a humiliating + object on leaving the rink.</p> + + <p>Prisoner, on being asked by the magistrate whether he + had any references respecting character to give, replied + in the negative, whereupon orders were issued to lock him + up, pending the appearance of Mr. PUNCHINELLO, who will + have some statements to make about him at a future + day.</p> + + <p>A reward of $5,000 has been offered for any + information about the pewter squirt, and particularly as + to when, and by whom it was made; and, as detectives are + now engaged in working up the case, there can be but + little doubt that the vile instrument will ere long be + identified.</p> + <hr style="width: 45%;"> + <br> + + <p><b>DISTRESSING.</b></p> + + <p>Some awful smasher of cherished notions is trying to + make out that ROUGET DE LISLE was not the real author of + the famous <i>Marseillaise</i>, but that he stole it from + the Germans.

I have carefully thought out this subject, and + have reduced my reflections and observations to a series + of rules, which, for the benefit of humanity, I propose + to make public.</p> + + <p>It must he premised that there are many varieties of + great men. Daddy LAMBERT was a great man, so was the + living skeleton, yet even a casual observer could + perceive the difference in their greatness. The greatness + of the fleshy world is one thing; the greatness of the + no-fleshy world is another. Also, strange as it may seem, + a man may be great and yet not be great. HOOD was a great + General, so was NAP 3, but they tell me that Nashville + and Saarbrucken are terrible commentaries on greatness. + Also a man may be great and not know it. They say that, + until he had made his grand success at Fort Fisher, you + never could persuade BUTLER that he was a great General. + TUPPER, I am informed, would never believe that he was + the most remarkable poet ever produced by England. Also a + man may be great and be perfectly aware of it. + Acquaintances of GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN, Gen. O'NEILL, + and Count JOANNES, assert that no one knows, better than + these gentlemen, that they are great men. Also a man may + die calmly in the consciousness that he is a + distinguished individual, and yet, years afterwards, some + magazine writer may cast historic doubts upon his + greatness.</p> + + <p>Of course there are several classes of great people. + There is the little great man, (for example, NAP. 3,) the + big great man, (BISMARCK,) the great little man, (NAP. + 1,) and the great big man, (the Onondaga giant.) But the + patient observer must perceive that general rules will + cover all these cases.</p> + + <p>It is to be hoped that no one, who shall become great + by means of my rules, will turn upon me and revile me, + when he finds himself interviewed incessantly, persecuted + by unearthings of his early sins, by persistent beggars, + by slanders of the envious, by libels of the press, and + by the other concomitants of greatness. You must take the + sour with the sweet. Even the sweetest orange may have an + unpleasant rind.</p> + + <p>RULES BY WHICH EVERY MAN CAN BECOME GREAT.</p> + + <p>1. Always be sure to get what belongs to you, and make + most vigorous grabs for everything that belongs to + everybody else.</p> + + <p>2. Take everything which is offered to you, if it be + on a par with what you deem the standard of your + worth.</p> + + <p>This rule requires the exercise of much wisdom in its + application. If, for example, you look upon the Custom + House as the office which is adapted to you, don't, + under any circumstances, take the appraiser's + position. But you must never let the rule work the other + way.</p> + + <p>3. Always have a policy. Talk about it much and often, + and be sure to call it "my policy."</p> + + <p>The best of rules being liable to misconstruction, + some Congressmen have acted as if this rule read, + "Always have a policy shop."</p> + + <p>4. Always have a theory. If a murder has been + committed, appear to know all about the "dog," + and to be familiar with its history from the time when it + was a pup. Be sure to fix suspicion upon some person, + even if you are compelled to eat your own words on the + following day.</p> + + <p>5. Talk much and often about protection, and give + advice to farmers, even if you don't know anything + about agriculture.</p> + + <p>6. Fill your head with classical quotations, and trot + them out on all occasions, whether discussing a bill for + the diffusion of beans among the Indians, or the Alabama + claims.</p> + + <p>7. Smoke many costly Havana cigars.</p> + + <p>This rule has been lately discovered.</p> + + <p>8. Get some one to write a history of CAESAR for you, + or an account of a tour in the Highlands, and then claim + the work as your own.</p> + + <p>There are one or two observations I would here make, + which may be useful. If you are ambitious, you had better + commence at the lower rounds of the ladder, in order that + your ascent may be safe and rapid. If you would be, for + instance, a great statesman, be first an alderman; if a + great warrior, be first—well, say a tanner. Also, + you should pay particular attention to the clothes which + you inhabit. An old white hat and a slouchy old overcoat + will insure you a nomination for the office of + Governor.</p> + + <p>If, by following these rules and heeding these + observations, you cannot become a great man, you may rest + assured that the fault is not in the rules, but in you. + What is already perfect cannot be made more perfect. If + you fail, after conscientiously following the above + advice, (though I'm not sure that the fact will not + be the same, if you succeed,) it's because you are + already great—a great fool.</p> + <hr style="width: 45%;"> + <br> + + <p><b>"THE COLORED TROOPS FOUGHT + NOBLY."</b></p> + + <p>So far as the Franco-Prussian war has gone, the + blackest page of its history appears to be the employment + of the Turcos, who are nearly as black as average Nubian + "niggers."

Nothing + but an overwhelming sense of being a cussed fool, and a + simpleton, and a stupid, <i>and</i> a dunce!</p> + + <p>Oh, the going back, after that! in the same loathed + costume, inwardly justifying the laughter of the knowing + loungers as you ascend among them, and cursing yourself + as the chief among ten thousand (ninnies,)—the one + altogether idiotic.</p> + + <p>Except for this enormous swindle, dear P., I should + have enjoyed Niagara, and Niagara would doubtless have + enjoyed me. But this preposterous, disgusting, + outrageous, ridiculous, contemptible, disgraceful, + <i>unsurpassable</i> swindle prevented anything like a + mutual understanding. I saw green in the Falls, the Falls + saw green in me. The Falls kept coming down; I had + already come down, (with my dollars,) and, in fact, was + perpetually descending, with sums varying from + twenty-five cents to four dollars and a half.</p> + + <p>My sole object, friend PUNCHINELLO, in addressing you + on this subject, is to beg and beseech that you will warn + the too-credulous and too-generous public against this + unmatchably atrocious swindle of Going Under the Falls. + It is too much for proud Humanity, Mr. P.! It is + crushing! It is withering! It is annihilating! What! + "Annex" this fraud? Never!—NEVER!</p> + + <p>TUPMAN.</p> + <hr style="width: 45%;"> + <br> + + <p><b>THE POSSIBLE "WHY?" OF IT.</b></p> + + <p>The personal feeling against the French Emperor, so + often displayed in the columns of the <i>Tribune</i>, has + frequently been a subject of comment. Nevertheless it is + easily accounted for. As Louis NAPOLEON is said to detest + <i>ham</i>, ever since he was incarcerated in the + fortress of that name, so does the Hon. HORACE GREELEY + detest <i>him</i>, ever since he (H. G.) was arrested in + France for some offence, real or imaginary, which we + cannot now recall to mind, and thrown into prison at + Clichy. And to this, also, may be traced the celebrated + <i>bon mot of</i> Mr. GREELEY, who once remarked, on a + festive occasion, that "Ham was afflicted with + <i>trichinosis</i> when it had Louis NAPOLEON in + it."</p> + <hr style="width: 45%;"> + <br> + + <p><b>A HINT FOR EXCURSIONISTS.</b></p> + + <p>On account of the present nauseating condition of New + York Bay, owing to the offal nuisance, no prudent voyager + should seek to stem its feculent tide unless provided + with "something to take."
