The Greensboro "Patriot" says this may be serious business should Steadman receive the Democratic nomination for Lieutenant Governor. I Iaemony In New York. Tammany hasexhibted a very com mendable spirit in the matter of securing harmony in New York city. The resolutions and speeches breathe the Tight spirit. The differ ences between Democrats, they say, are not of principle, but are nomlnaland trivial, and they re solved that Tammany would mako everj' effort and every concession consistent with honor looking to an adjustment of differences, and that "we tender the right hand of fellowship to the county Democracy and the Irving Hall Democrats," and they then appointed a committee to consult with the other organizations so as to secure united action and a single - harmonious delegation to the State convention. That's right. Let Tammany stick to that and the Presidential election can have but one result. The nominee . of the Democratic party will lie : inaugu rated President on the 4th of March, 18.85. Cheeky! Cheeky! Mr. Patrick Henry Winston, an erratic local politician of North Carolina, has recently announced bis adhesion to the Republican, par. .ty. Mr. Winston is a peculiar genius, and the Elizabeth City (N. C.) "Falcon" relates the fol lowing true story , about him. The "Falcon'' says he -was once hissed anu hooted from , the hustings, white attempting- to speak. The circumstances were these- It was on some public occasion at the North, in Baltimore, at a Demo cratic meeting held in front of Gdy's Hotel. "Virginian', Sever al speakers were '"nvited to make addresses. Winston was on hand in fact he had just moved there from North Carolina to live, and was yet an utter stranger. With the cheek calculated to draw tears from the eyes of a brass mon key, our impertubable hero "min gieu" ireeiy m the crowd and asked them to call for 'Winston of North Carolina." Thus beguiled, the unsuspecting citizens Jdld call; but the hour of triumph ,' was short. Winston hadn't got out the first sentence before he was ordered off the rostrum by the indignant crowd.

There was a poor but honest and energetic man over in my city who went into the milk business. He started by car. rying his milk vessels around in his hand. In time his business grew to such proportions that he had to buy a horse. The horse had been in the service of his country at one time. The old milkman went on doing well, his horse do ing him good service until one day he stopped in front of the house of one of his customers and went in to deliver his milk. While in the house the fire alarm struck aid the horse started down the street as hard as he could go. Away went.the milk cans, wagons and all. This old horse had been in the fire department service, and when he heard the call he went. So, you see the application: "Wrhen the people call I will go." Washing ton "Critic. Gen. Geant Talks. Grant the silent has disappear ed, and we have instead Grant the loquacious. To a correspond ent last week he spoke freely and positively about political matters and political candidates. He freely declared that he would rather see Conkliug President than any oth er man in the United States: that he thought that the Democrats had so good a chance this time that he wanted to see them make a good nomination, so as to assure a good President if they are victo rious; and that, of the Democrats prominent.y talked of, he thought Randall would make a goo l, safe President, if the country had to take a democrat.l When asked what he thought of Bayard he flalty declared that he would rath er see any other man in the coun try President. Speaking of Til den's candidacy, he said if he got elected and delivered his inaugnr al he would never give his Vice President any chance of the suc cession, but would keep himself beforejthe country as the Presi dent for his full term of four years, even if he died the day s alter the inauguration. About the part he took in coming to the rescue of Garfield after the nomination -he admitted that it went greatly against the grain, in consequence ot Washburn's and Garfield's co quetting with the convention while pretending to serve other interests than their own.

It was near mid night, and many alovedjone from home lay sleeping on the battle field that sleep which knows no wakiag' until Jesus calls for them. y The surgeons had been serving their rounds of duty, and for a moment all was - quiet. Suddenly this young man , before speechless, calls in a clear, , distinct voice, "Here!" The surgeon hastened to his side, and asked what be wished "Nothing", said he", 'they are calling the roll in heaven, and I was answering to my name.' He turned his head and was gone- gone to join the great army whose uniform Is washed white in the blood off the f Lamb. Header the great, roll call ot eternity, your name will be heard.

Mr. J. J. Battle has on exhibi tion at his store, a stalk of corn bearing 11 ears, and has a 10 acre field of the same kiud,about one mile from town, which he thinks will average 5 or 6 ears to the stalk, not withstanding the b id seasons and droughts of the past crop year.

When all the peas are gath ered it is certain that the increase from this one pea will be at least ten thousand fold. The vine will be on exhibitionjat the fair. We don't know that the Indian Bureau will benefit the Red man greatly by depriving him of his fire-water, if the case ofSkumka, chief of the Umatillas ,f Oregon, be a sample of the average results. This noble son of the forest was suffering from something akin to cramp-colic, and after pleading in vain for whiskey, with which he had been accustomed to ease his pain, turned, in despair, to Jamai. ca Ginger, and disposed of 26 bot ties. The ginger did uot make the cure but it killed the chieftaiu, who died in great agony. 1L0 was buried with Indian pomp, indhis horse killed in order to giver him a free ride to the happy-hunting grounds, and the entire tribe ; is in mourning and wofully lament his untoward death and the absence of whisk 5y.

A SEXSMLEHrEEClI. Governor Jarvis, of North Car olina, who left this city for New Haven on Saturday evening, was in the afternoon, the guest of the Middlesex club at its regular week ly dinner. In his farewell addr ess in Boston, hesaid I came to your city ten days ago for the first ti ne in in i me. i Knew oetore J ca of the courtesy and hospitality ue of New England, but I w as. not pre pared for the warmth ot the recep tion I have received from all class es of the people of Massaehuset ts. The public 'attentions have lieen pleasing, yet it Were possible that they should come of formality and for courtesy's sake. But when I have looked tlie people of New England in the lace, felt the w arm grasp or their hands, and seen the welcome in their eyes, I have ex perienced, and I will go back and tell the people of the South .that I have experienced, that we are friends once more. (Applause) In my speeches here deavored to express to be the sentiment the South, and that I have en wi.at 1 know jail through is that we want all our past differences to be buried in the grave of oblivion. Here in your magnificent cities of Lthe Notth, your splendidly devel- ed country, you may not feel the newi of this absolute reconciliation as innch as we do at the South Yet I am sure .that, if you stop think for a moment, you will set- that from a business point of view, the time has come when w e all should stand as American citizens', recoiruizinjr our mutual and com mu interests. Let the ifuestion we are to discuss be ronomic .ques- tions. ouestioils leading- on to tne future, and no line or pathway turning to the past. Applause. I I am fure that great and prosper ous as. is vour section of our coin. mon country; both yotir interest s and pleasure are to see the South ern section of onf country lifted upv and like yours prosperous.

But thev. were settle e(i forever, and settled by us, leav in"' nothing An- the generations who come after us to U divided upon. Applause. We waut to see. our section of the country great, prosperous and wealthy, as' your section. We have come, to learn something of how these weie - achieved by you, and we have learned one important lesson that in 'New England you have no room for idlers and loafers; that New England has been built np by the energy, push and perse verance of her sons and daughters. All through North Carolina I have tried to inculcate that lesson, to impress upon our people that while we look for capital and lalior from the North, and stand ready to welcome them, yet, after all, the destiny of the South remains with the peopla of the South. And dUny can only ue maue It must ue recognizeu iu it must be recognized in gool faith, with a Axed purpose to live i nn to ir that there 13 vO be no I " I ' " " --1 I separation of the sections of this t mfuj I " ' .

There is not even a promotion for gotnl . conduct or noble daring. There i nothing but todo and die. Well, it is all right 1 know, or it w.mld'nt have Ihm'ii so, but it grieves me to hear the bell tolling all almut and to see the old stock passing u way.

He wan a heavv man, but he waddled np the hill to : the meeting-house with alacrity and took his seat like he meant business and ho did mean bnsi ness. He sum! amen and amen all through the preacher's i as ci, and then he oened his hymn-book with eagerness and stood up rjghf in front of the choir aud sanir from way down. He tried to follow, but was sure to get a liitle ah id, for he en joyed it and wanted to do more than his snare. The choir did their (test to smother him but thev coiild'nt. His bellow were lroiifr and blew loud. IIih kind of si'uu-iiif; wouldn't have been tolerated from any other man, for he was ali a little up or a little down, and he ta pered oil.

There w ani'l enough of them, and the old Mann lunik his head aud gave a giuiit and fill ed out w it h a couple of aniens.
