A telegram from Cheyenne this morning reports the killing of Albert Curtis, formerly of Ashland, Ohio.

' Thxbe is a little glitter in the dispatches from Cheyenne this morning, but not enough to count much in the multitudes that have gone to the Black Hills. The elevation of Mr. Sayler to the Speaker's chair, without limiting the time to Mr. C'oi's absence, is regarded as indicative that he will succeed regularly to the .chair in the event of Mr. Kerr's resignation.Allen has enough hope to attach himself to the end of a telegraph wire during the meeting of the St. Louis Convention. He has made arrangements to occupy the private room of the telegraph manager at Chillicothe. The dispatches from St. Louis this morning make Tilden the central figure of the struggle. Up to this time the question is Tilden or not Tilden, with scarcely anything to indicate the man who may be in luck on the negative proposition. The Sew York Times of yesterday briefly review the situation at St. Louis, and says : "So faf as personal enthusiasm Roes, we fail to Bee that any of the St. Louis candidates can boast of exciting much ofit .

After several speeches by some intelligent deaf mutes, Mr. Bond again rose and offered the following resolution, which km unanimously adopted : Iiitohed, That this Club affirm, indorse and ratify the platform and principles Adopted by the Republican National Convention convened in the city of Cincinnati on the 14th inst., and earnestly invite the hearty co-operation of all the - deaf mutes without regard to party, in all r just and proper efforts to secure the election of Rutherford B.

The water in the canal at Sault Ste. Marie commenced rising about ten o'clock Saturday morning, without any apparent cause, reaching a greater height than has been known for many years. Its variation was four feet nine inches in one hour and twenty minutes. A large sheet of water overflowed the stop-wall and rushed over into the new lock-pit, threatening serious results. HAYES AT FREMONT. Jteeeptlou at Bis Home Illnntlna. of the Park apeecb or the Uovoraor. . Governor Hayes visited hiB home at Fremont Saturday evening, and was ten' dered a reception by the citizens. Ar riving at 6:40 p. ni, he was met by a conr mittee of reception and escorted to his residence. The city was brilliantly il luminated, and the Enquirer's account says no such demonstration has ever been witnessed there before. The reception took place in the public park, and ten thousand people are said to be present, Arches, mottoes, banners, etc., gave the affair its embellishment. Governor Hayes was escorted to the park from his residence at eight' o'clock, and was re ceived with rousing cheers. Mayor Dickinson addressed the Governor on behalf of the people. Following is the Enquirer's report of the Governor's speech : Mb. Mayob and Fellow-citizens, fbj ends, neighbors and all : I need not attempt to express the emotions 1 feel at the reception which the people of Fremont and of this county have given me tp-night. Under any circumstances an assemblage of this sort, at my home, to welcome me, would touch me, would ex cite the warmest emotions of gratitude, but what gives to this its distinctive char acter is the fact that those that are prominent in welcoming me at home, I know very well in the past, have not voted with me or for me, and they do not intend in the future to vote with me or for me. It is simply that coming to my borne they rejoice that Ohio, that Sandusky county that the town of Fremont has received at that Conyention that honor,and 1 thank you, Democrats, fellow-citizens, Independ ents and republicans, lor tnis spontane ous and enthusiastic reception, Cheers. J trust that, in the course of events, the time will never come that you will have cause to regret what you do to-night, It is a very great responsibility to be the rep resentative of twenty millions of peopte a responsibility which I know very well 1 am not equal topertorm. 1 understand very well that it waa not by reason of ability or talents or position that I was chosen; that there were accidentB and con tingencies that caiiBed this result. Hut that which does rejoice me is that here, where I have been in my childhood, there are those that come and rejoice at the result cheers "1; and I trust, my friends, that as I run along in this desultory way for you well know that Bince I learned that 1 was to bo here to-night Die throng ol letters and visitors and telegrame to answer have given-me no time to prepare for a reception like this you must put up with hastily formed sentences, very unfitly representing the sentiments appro-nriate to the occasion. Let me, if I may do it without too much egotism, recur to the "history of my connection with fre- mont." iortytwo years ago my uncle. Sardis Birchard, came to this place, and I rejoice, my friends, at the good taste ana feeling which has placed his portrait here to-night, lie having adopted me as his child and brought me to Fremont. 1 recollect well the appearance of the then Lower Sandusky, consisting of a few wooden buildings scattered along the river, with very little paint on them, and these trees, none of them grown, the old fort still having some of its earthwork remaining, so that it could be easily traced to a pleasant village. This was the place for a boy to enjoy himself in. There wus the fishh g on the river, shooting water fowls over the dam on the inlands and the lake, and perhaps no boy ever enjoyed his departure from home more than I did when I first came to Fremont. But now Hee what Fremont is ! How it has grown I It has not increased to a first-class commercial city, but it haB become a pleasant home, so pleaHant, so thriving that I rejoice to think that whatever may be the result next fall, it will be pleasant to return to it when it is all over. If defeated I shall return to you oftener than if I go to the White House; and if I go there I shall rejoice at the time when 1 shall be permitted to return to you to be a neighhor with you again, and really we have no cause not to be satisfied with our home and with the large intereBtB which will be for us here in the future. Larger cities alwayB have some Btrife and rivalry from which we are free, and yet we are situated between two commercial centers, East and West, between which is the great highway of the world, and we can not hut partake of their prosperity. Over the railroad passing through Hub place or near it is to pass for all time to come, the travel and trade of New York and San Francisco, of London and Pekin. Every town along this route partakes of the prosperity of this highway. Upper Sandusky is on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago rail road, and Tiflin, that thriving and beau tiful city througb whlcn passes trie .Baltimore and Ohio road, are south of us, while along the Lake Shore passes the great Northern Division of the Lake Shore road, making the road at this place as it were the great artery of the world's travel, and we can abide with the pros perity that is to come in the future. Those of our friends who travel in Europe return sometimes dit-satisned because there is a rawness and a newness and a roughness in this country not Been in England and the older countries of Europe; but then the greatest happiness, as all ol us know, in preparing a garden or a home, is to aee the improvements growing ud in our hands. This is what we enjoy, and the change in Fremont from tiie time I first knew it till to-day gives me pleasure. There is another change which makes me feel sadder, and gives rise to mournful reflections. When I came here in 1846 I learned the names of many citizens who knew me In my boyhood. There was. Mr. Mayor, your father, Kodolphus i)!.ikinson. Thomas Hawkins, and among others, that marvel of business energy, (Ivnwe Urfi.il, Anil so i migui go ou giving name after name, but it is true that of all that I remember seeing on that first visit, not one is with us to-night, ah those WHO Came Y.HU lue, my unnua aiiu my sister, are gone. 1 uave oeen touched scarcely by any thing that has occurred Bince the nomination as much as by the letter from a friend at Norwalk, j who wrote, "If Sardis Birchard could only have lived to know this." But this is the order of Providence. Events follow upon one and another as wave follows wave upon the ocean. It is for each man to do what he can to make others happy. That is the prayer, and that is the duty of life. 11 us, my friends, in every position undertake to perform this. For me, I have no reliance except that which Abraham Lincoln had when he went from his friends at Springfield, when he said to hiB friends: "I go to Washington to assume a responsibility greater than that which has devolved upon any one since the first President, and I beg you, my friends and neighbors, to pray that I may have that Divine assistance without which I cannot succeed, and with which I cannot fail." Cheers. In that spirit I ask you to deal with me. Cheers. If it shall he the will of tbe people that this nomination shall be rati fied all will be well. If on the other hand it ahall be the will of the people that another shall assume these great responsibilities let us see to it that we who oppose him give him a fair trial and our prayers. . My friends, 1 thank you for the interest you have taken in this receptioo, and that you have laid aside partisan leeling, i there has been too much bit terness on such occasions in this country. ljel us Bee to it tnat abuse or vituperation of the candidate that shall be named at St. Louis do not proceed from our line: let ub, on this Centennial occasion, this second century ol our existence, set an example of what a free and intelligent nation can do. There is assembled at Philadelphia an assemblage representing nearly all the nations of the earth, with their arts and manufactures. We have invited competition, and they have come to compete with us and with each other. We find that America stands well with the works of the world as there exhibited. We rejoice to know that Ohio stands well in that comparison. Let us show in electing the Chief Magistrate of the nation, the officer that is-to be first of forty or fortyfive million, let us show all those who visit us how the American people can conduct themselves through a canvass of this sort. If it shall be in the spirit in which we have met here to-night, if it shall be that justice and fairness shall be in all the discussions, it will commend free institutions to the world in a way in which they have never been commended before. Cheera.1 Well, my friends, I am detaining vou too long. Cries of go on, go on ! I know how it is when a man talks oft hand, with those dread reporters behind him, therefore I propose to close what I have to Bay by expressing the feelinir of gratitude felt by myself, Wife and family, for the kindness and regard shown us by H. t L" ... At . .L- . ., mc peujiic ut x-itrtiiuiib. uuui Hie miU- lle ot the war General Sherman lost a boy named after himself, aged about ten or thirteen years. He supposed that he Deiongea to tne I hirteenth Intanlrv. and when they went out to drill and dress parade, he dressed in the drees of a Ser geant, and marched with them, but he sickened and died. The regiment gathered about him, for he was to them a comrade dear as a child is loved by men wno are torn away Irom tbe associations of home. General Sherman, the great soldier, was touched hy it. He said it would be idle for him to try aud express the gratitude which be felt, but he said they held the affections of himself and family, and if any of them should ever be in need if they wouid just mention that they belonged to tbe Thirteenth Infantry at the time his boy died they would divide with bun to the last blanket and the last morsel of food. It is in this spirit that I wish to express my feelings to the people of Fremont for the welcome given me to-night. 1 hid you, my friends, good night. 2:14. Goldsmith Maid at lleliuont Park. I'hiliidelnhlii. Philadelphia Inquirer, 24th. J Every means of conveyance in the vi cinity of Belmont Park, and many city carriages as well as the trains on the Pennsylvania railroad, were in requisition yeBterday afternoon to carry spectators to tbe park, where "tmiilsuuth Maid" was to make, if not beat her own time, and four double teams to relieve her, by trotting for a purse of $400. Betting was strung against the "Maid," for the wind was brisk and the air rather heavy, and neither circumstance was in herfavor. , . In her twentieth year, with no sign of age, a magnificent creature, rich with the gracious endowments of a beauty and strength-creating Deity, so rare in the perfection of her animal nature as to have about her something strongly akin to humanity, "Goldsmith Maid," like Joan of Arc, look the track as if she were a princess, while her driver, her judges and live hundred men awaited her sovereign pleasure ere the word "Go! should be pronounced. A little good-nutured hnrm less coquetry back and forth before tbe judges' stand, and the gracious lady intimated to her driver who seemed to be in her confidence that she was ready. Only at her sovereign pleasure was tbe signal given, and away she went like the wind, with "Catbird" after her, It was a joy and wonder to watch her flying feet. The voice of the pool seller died away, the vacant laugh and Idle jest were stilled, il.ven the must thoughtless were kept reverently intent upon the dis play ot that Heaven-imparted power. The first heat was an exciting one, for "Goldsmith Maid" cannot trjt, as Miss Kellogg cannot Bing, without evoking plaudits. Nevertheless it was generally understood to be merely a spurt to test her and getther into action, and there was a tacit admission that however well she might do she would not do her best. Ibe distance, however, waa done superbly; in 34 seconds the first mark was passed, the next in 1 minutes seconds, the third in 35J seconds more, and the home stretch completed her record time 2:17-1. The next heat was the great one of the day. The " Maid," who had been shawled and led on as carefully as a belle alter her brst party, came upon the track again, had her wrap taken off, and was once more ready for action. Kound and round drove the Dobles, father and son, before the judges' stand, awaiting the pleasure of her highness. As she approached the stand lor the last time before the start it was seen that she was getting down to her work. At every step she came on faster and faster, and presently she gave her head a toss, and Bhook it ; Doble nodded his own, at the same time glancing up at the judges' stand; the word was given, and they were on. 1 wipe ere she had reached the third quarter she showed an inclination to break, but this was so obviously caused hy poor "Catbird's" rattling along behind her, that, whether he waa not a hindrance to her rather than a help, be came a doubtful question. Again and again she shook her pretty head as though she were secretly exulting over her power to do easily what was expected of her. And she did it, her record being 334, 1:004, 1:40 and amid long and continuous clapping from all the stands 2:14. This announcement excited the spectators to enthusiasm, and the "Maid" herself, as she stood cool, collected and dignified, being waited on by her valets, surveyed the applauding spectators like an actress called before the curtain to receive a farewell testimonial. She had, indeed, aLOther heat before her, but the climax was past. Although the time as announced was 2:14, there were many who declared that the course had been traversed in less time by a quarter of a second, but the discrepancy was doubtless caused by the excitement of the Btart and of the home stretch. The third and last heat of the "Maid" was trotted in 2:17, and scarcely had she reached "home" when in the track stood a group of gentlemen congratulating Mr. Hudd JJoble and Air, 1M. omitu, tne lor tunate owner of the "Maid." Thomas B. Quackenbush, convicted of rape at Batavia, N. Y., upon Mrs, Sarah Norton, aged seventysix, from the effects of which she died, has been sentenced to be hanged August 11.

Special to the Ohio State Journal. Newark, O., June 25. The attendance from this place will swell the crowd at the St. Louis Convention five souls. They left Saturday last. Of this number one is a delegate. Three are aspiring politi cians, who, if the nominee Should hy chance be elected in November, may be induced to accept Cabinet positions, or something else lower down. The fifth goes there on a double mission to buy pork, and when not thus engaged to look after the interests of the party. The Democracy of Licking county are anything hut a unit on the money question, and as a matter of course on any one of the candidates at present prominent. General Hancock conies nearer being a fuvorite than anyone else. and should he be nominated, might bring uuout a reconciliation in one way only that is to ride double on the financial question, with a decided leaning to the hards, anil a more decided leaning to the softs. The Congressional nomination in this lislrict still continues to be the leading topic of conversation, We are for Kollett first, last and all the time. Should South ard not consent to withdraw, there will he a triangular light with the chances decidedly in favor of some lucky Republican. Jones is pronounced a dead cock in the pit, by his Democratic brethren, for not declaring FoUett elected. Jones does not receive the amount of svmnalhv he deserves. WASHINGTON. KX-SPEAKER BLAINE. Washinuton, June 25. Mr. Blaine's condition is unchanged, or at least has not changed lor the better.

The largest ratification meeting that was ever held in Mansfield came together last evening to respond to the Cincinnati nominations. No such outpouring of the masses had been anticipated.

Additional dele gations arrived late last night and to-day. Special trains reach here early to-morrow morning, with several hundred people from New York, New England and other parts of the country. A train with three hundred lammany men arrived this morning, and the opponents of Tilden from New York are now very numerous. The contest between Tilden audanti-Til-den has been very warm to-day, and on many questions quite bitter. The oppo sition to him on the part of the Tam many orowda is ver.y strong and aggres sive, but notwithstanding this Tilden's friends proclaim that he has gained strength. This is conceded by some of his opponents, but when an attempt is made to ascertoin how many votes he can command in the Convention no one will say. Even his best friends cannot teli anything, and everybody seems to be at sea and drifting. There ia really no organization in favor of any candidate, and nothing but tbe purest speculation as to results. Tbe currency question is assuming form, and opinions upon that fiubiect are becoming more pronounced. state delegations. Prominent Ohio delegates assert that the nomination of Tilden and the adoption of his views on money questions will lose that State by (30,000 majority, aud the IndianianB say that State will give 40,000 against him, while Hendricks would carry them both by handsome ma jorities. , Kansas delegates Bay the Democrats ot that State will'nnt support Tilden, and if he is nominated there will he a third ticket put in the field. Southern delegates seem to occupy the same position fhey did three days ago. They are willing to accept any man who promises the best chances of success at the polls, HENDRICKS. Hendricks men profess to be. hopeful, but many of them expressdisappointtnent at the decrease of his strength during several weeks past. They can not account for Ibis change in sei.timent, but admit that iothc East and South especially his strength has very materially diminished. 1'ennnsylvaians say the day after their Slale Convention was held Hendricks had threefifths majority in their delegation; now he las not onefifth. Similar reports are made by other Eastern and Southern delegations. THE HANCOCK MOVEMENT, on the other hand, has developed greatly during the past two days, and although he has not been regularly taken up he is in pretty general favor, and talked of unite extensively as second choice. The South seems to he Btrongly in his favor, and will probably rally to him if it is shown he can be nominated. preliminary meetings; The Nebraska delegation held a meeting last night and resolved to cast the vote as a unit from first lo last for Tilden, The New Hampshire delegation is Baid to' be almost solid for Tilden, The Massachusetts delegation elected Josiah G. Abbott Chairman, and Albert A. Haggett Secretary. Several Michigan delegates are said to have deserted Tilden, and Hendricks IB gaining favor with that delegation. THE GERMANS. There are a number of prominent Germans here from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and other States, including several editors of widely circulating papers, and to day they had an informal meeting, at which the political situation was pretty freely discussed. It was stated that in New York the Germans are for reform, and will be satisfied with nothing else. They believe Tilden to be the embodiment of this principle, and favor him. They care little for platforms or promises. They are largely Republicans, but are not wedded to party, and with the man who has shown himRelf by every act of bis official life to be a reformer, at the head of a party, the German vote, with limited exceptions, will be cast for that party. The Germans wanted Bristow at Cincinnati because tbey believed him to be a reformer. They failed to get him. As yet they have not accepted the man substituted for him. With Tilden they believe every State in which tbe Germans hold the balance of power can be carried for the Democratic parly. No other man can carry this vote. The Germans care nothing for Tilden's name; only the idea which he represents the principle which he has bo fearlessly and ably carried into practice. The idea uppermost among Germans 1b reform of abuses in the Government. They care little for any other question. If the idea of reform is made subordinate in selecting the candidates by the Democratic Convention, the Republican Germans will generally vote for Hayes, and the mass of Liberals will drop back into the Republican ranks, and many German Democrats will not vote at all. The Tammany opposition amounts to nothing in their estimation. On the contrary, it will strengthen him not only in New York but throughout the country when it is fully understood, as it will be. The opposition to Tammany amounts to thousands of German Republican votes in New York. The fight they make is against the very idea the Germans so warmly cherish.' Ths Kansas City Times published an edition of that paper here to-day, in connection with tbe Morning Journal, and will probably continue it during the session of the Convention. It strongly opposes Tilden and advocates a greenback policy. UPPEE SANDUSKY. Hayes and Wheeler Uatlacatlon Meeting;. Special to the Ohio Ulstc Journal. Upper Sandusky, June 25. The Re publicans of this place held a ratification meeting here last night. Brief speeches were made by T. E. Grissel, 8. H. Hunt, P. Cuneo and C. Sears. There was a grand display of fire works.

June 24, says: At Robinson, Crawford county, Indiana, last night at 8 o'clock, Dick Henderson, the Shentt, entered the jail to lock up the prisoners, when he was attacked by Osborne, a prisoner confined for murder, with a small billy made of wood by the latter, the Sherifl grasped the prisoner, and the two struggled to the outside of the jail, another prisoner confined for horse stealing escaping in the meantime. Ihebhenrl received very se vere injuries from the murderer, but held on to him until the screams of the wife of the Sherifl brought a crowd of citizens to his assistance. These citizens cut a cotton rope from an awning, and immediately hung the prisoner to a locust tree near, until he was dead. He begged for a respite and for a priest, but they told him there was no time. The murderer waB a very desperate man. Washing-ton.

All arrangements have been made for the entire Servian army taking up strategical positions by the' 27th of July. Should a rupture with the Porte ensue, which is by no means unavoidable, warlike action is scarcely likely to begin befoie the first days of July.

I.ouln-A Plan to Klevate Thiirutaa. Special lo New York Times. St. Louis, June 24. Every train this morning brought hundreds of delegates and others interested in the Convention, so that by noon, when the thermometer bad got tar up in the nineties. hikI any thing like exertion was misery, the halls of the Lindell and Southern Hotels were crowded with excited men eagerly discussing the chances of Tilden, who still was in the unfortunute condition of being the foremost candidate at the start. The most confidential of his friends, those w ho are managing his canvass, early in t bo 'In y had him nominated, with great expedition and remarkable ease, as early us ibe third ballot. Their process was as simple as it was expeditious, for it consisted in nothing more than claiming the following on the first ballot: California, (1; Colorado, 3; Connecticut, tl; Illinois, 12; Iowa, V; Kentucky, 12; Maine, 7; .M tissnch tisetta, 13; M ichigan, 104; Minnesota, 5; Mississippi, 8; Missouri, rseoraska, d; Nevada, 3; INew Hamp shire, 5; New York, 35; Oregon, 3; Rhode island, 3; Vermont, b: VV iscsnsin. 84: making a total of 160, in the Electoral College of 36y votes. So far as the first ballot is concerned this is very nearly correct. The only reductions to be ade probably are a few in Ken tucky, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and one or two other States, so that Tilden's opponents concede that his vote on the first ballot will be 155. His friends claim for him on tbe Becond ballot, in addition to those mentioned, Alabama, Ar kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kansas, Virginia, and West Virginia, in all 77 votes, and making a total, according to their calculations, of 243, or only three less than twothirds. If they are right, of course the nomination of Tilden is inevitable on the third ballot, for it is quite certain there would, in that case, be a stampede to nun. I his rosy view ol the situation is not visible to the opponents of New York s reform Governor, however. Con ceding to him nearly all that he claims on the first ballot, they nay that he will then reach the highest vote he will attain, for after the first ballot many of his supporters, like those in Illinois, will desert him, and that he will gain nothing in tne souin. judging irom the talk ol the Southern delegates to-day, there is reason to believe that tbis latter view is the more reasonable one. They are here only to capture what they lost on the bat tle-field, and to seize the Government of Ibe country. Ihey care for nothing but success, and Kelley is securing more and more of them every hour. That success with iilden is impossible, becanse he cannot csrry New York. The chances for Tilden are even less this morning than ever he-fore, for there are already signs that there ib a disposition on the part of his ouno- nents to combine against him. General bwing, ol Ohio, who is the great apostle of Allen in Ohio, is determined to beat Tilden, aud for this purpose is ready to desert Allen at the proper mo ment auu to unite his lorces unon Thurman. The plan is to hold Ohio and Pennsylvania solid unon Hancock, dur ing the preliminary balloting, and to unite upon Thurman when it becomes necessary to defeat Tilden. If Ewing is earnest in this, the chances for Thur man are even hotter than they have been supposed. In case ot his nomina tion, the talk is for Parker, of New Jersey, or Ingersoll. of CJonnec ticut, for the second place, although many ol the Southern delegates claim it for their section. The suggestion of Ben Hill, it is only fair to add, did not meet with any favor from the Confederates, who are here to devise ways and means to capture the Government, in order that they may run it in the old-time fashion. Thnrmiln and Uond Opinions. Special to New York Hers, I. J St. Loots, June 24 Thurman develops a moral but not a numerical strength. He has every one's good opinion, but is not in a fair way to get any one'B vote. He is very much in the position here that Washburne was in at Cincinnati ; his New Advertisements. A. MASONIC.

It ia held, however, that if the Ohio men could be induced to lay aside their sympathies and present his name unanimously, he would immediately run into a position scarcely inferior to that now had by Mr. Tilden himself, because he would at once reconcile the Eastern and Western differences on finance, and would be more available than Tilden is to tbe West, and equally so as to the East, and more than any other person, except Tilden. He is recognized as a consistent opponent of jobs and jobbery. In his candidacy the element of weakness would be that it relinquishes the man. lueiiuueu in popular imagination as the leader of the reform movement, and bo would commit the party to somewhat leas emphatic assertion of that issue, would assimilate the Democratic action to that of the Republicans, who, instead of Bristow, accepted Hayes. Its strength, however, is that Thurman could carry every State which anybody can claim for Tilden; could carry some which Tilden cannot, but he needs a start In his own State, and that it is hopeless to expect .mo id iu ue juugeu irom me raci mat me opponents of Tilden relinquish this chance before they determined to concentrate their strength on the weaker Hendricks.

It is whispered that Premier Disraeli and the German Chancellor, Prince Bismarck, are acting together in their treatment of the Turkish question. But few of thti PariB theaters have remained open. They are losing money. The last performance of "Dimitri" realized only $37. The tragedy of "Spartacus," at the Ambigu, on Tuesday, was a failure.

Correspondence of the Graphic Boston breathes easier. Doui Pedro has been here and gone. The Dom likes Boston; be snvs so. Quietly lie came and went about, without molestation from sight-seers. At Bunker Hill he was called back, bb he was going to register his name, after paying his quarter like any other civilian. The man on duty didn't know him. The Dom smiled a, quiet smile and dutifully obeyed orders. An hour after somebody said to the guard, or whatever he is : "Well, what do you think of Dom Pedro?" "Haven't seen him." "He certainly came here to inspect the monument." "Hasn't been here. An old gent well, not exactly old a man with a big beard by Nebuchadnezzar I now I think of it." He turned lo the book, tbe perspiration started ; he looked, with eyes aa big as saucers. "Dom Pedro, Brazil !" He shut the book, kicked the stand, turned right about face, and marched home, a sadder, i hough not a wiser man. As long as he lives he will look back to that time as one of his lost opportunities.

South Bend Tribune, j The old residents of the county will remember tbe tree which stood so long as a landmark in Center township, and known as the "Big Walnut." It stood on the farm of W. II. Palmer, and was felled by a hunter in search of a raccoon, about thirty years ago. The stump was ten feet and Bix inches in diameter, and the tree was hollow to the width of eight feet at the butt. Mr. Palmer made one hundred and sixty rails and sixty fence stakes out of the second cut, and he and Daniel Kol-lar have each a trough, six feet in diameter, taken from the tree thirtytwo feet from the butt. It waa a guide post for any hunter who might have lost hiB bearings, and known to almost every person in the country. Considering the dimensions of this monarch one enn not help thinking that the innn that felled it must have been like the boy after the wood-chuck out of meat.

The majority in the House has already, by failure to pass a deficiency bill, placed the Governments the United Slates in the attitude of an employer incapable of paying his servants; it hos now neglected the simplest financial necessities of the nation until by no possibility csn it have time, in case of a spasm of patriotism or sense, to make decent provision for the coining year. The manner in which the time of the majority has been spent during the session makes a decent excuse impossible. 'A tribute has just been paid by royalty to a dead journalist nnd novelist.
