Greeley rs u Prophet.

The Editor of the New York Tribune
has lately been on lecturing tour through
the Northwest, and in letter lately writ
ten from Iowa, he prophesied that Doug
las will be the nominee of the National
Democratic Charleston Convention. He
has written another letter dated at Mans
field, in this State, in which he further dis
courses upon political matters, as follows
cannot be mistaken in affirming that,
with judicious nomination on our side.
we shall certainly carry every Electoral
Vote of the Northwest against any candi-
date but Douglas; while his nomination
though lncomparably the strongest for all
this region that can be made at Charleston,
will barely render Indiana and Illinois
doubtful States, with the chances decidedly
with us in Illinois. Ohio, Michigan, Wis
consin, Iowa and Minnesota are Republi-
can anyhow; but, if Douglas should not be
nominated at Charleston, they will hardly
be contested. Illinois gave Fremont 96,-
1877 votes, if she does not give 10000 for
the Republican candidate next November,
| am content to be branded fast prophet.
Indiana gave Fremont 94,375; she will
not give one less than 10000 for our
ticket this, Fall, and trust it will be SWELL
ed to 100000. Now, it is true that the
population of these States has been some
what increased during the intervening four
years: but, on the other hand, seven-eights
of large voting force employed in con-
structing Railroads through these States
in SO has since been disbanded, and much
Of il has gone elsewhere; and the change
thus effected will tell strongly in our favor.
l look for Republican aggregate next No
vember of Three Hundred Thousand Votes
in the Stats of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa
and Minnesota, which gave us little less
than One Hundred and Eighty Thousand
in SO. If an open opponet of the Home
stead bill and supporter of Buchanan's Le-
compton policy should at Charleston be up
for President, bis vote in these State will
hardly be worth counting. =
The delegates from Iowa will 60 TO
Chicago to nominate Presidential ticket
the strongest ticket possible-and to this
end will be glad to listen to the sugges-
tions of well-informed friends in Washing
ton or elsewhere; but they 60 unpledged,
uncommmitted, and fully at liberty to hear
all suggestions and then do what shall com
mend itself to their unfettered judgement
as best for the Cause. AS it is in Iowa,
so will it be elsewhere.

Women Skating Races.

The Boston papers gives the account of
q skating race between women at the Ska
ting Park last Saturday. The distance was
half mile, the prize a silver goblet and a
pair of skates. There were eight thousand
people present. Seven women-married
maids and children-took the field.
After two false starts they got the word
'go," and went off in gallant style, follow
ed by crowd of boys and men, whom the
police could not keep back. This, added
TO the shouts and yells of the people, was
sufficient to cause the most Indifferent of
the contestants to lose their confidence
At the first quarter Miss. Fogg, took the
lead and kept it, and on the home stretch
she made splendid burst. A few rods
from the stand, however, she struck some
bad ice and fell, but was up in an instant,
and came in eight or ten lengths ahead Of
Miss. Lamb, who was second, the other two
being distanced. "Little Red Riding Hood"
made the half mile in 8 minutes and IL
seconds, and Miss. Lamb in 3:35.
The second division then started:
To prevent the boys from interfering and
surrounding the contestants, this time, a
party Of gentlemen formed line, and with
locked hands behind the ladies, and when
the word "gon was given, skated after them,
and by this means the second division had
a much better chance than the other, for
the first quarter, and then the boys dashed
between the legs of the "guards," scaled
the rails, wallowed through the snow, and
once more surrounded the ladies, and it
was difficult TO tell from the judges stand
the position of the racers.
Mrs. Farnum, of Lowell, at the start
took the lead, having the inside Of the
track, and keptil all the way home. the
boys having some respect for the lady be-
cause she was the fastest, and while they
skated by her side, they did not impede
her progress by heading. She came home
in fine style, with bold, vigorous strokes
each one of which sent her over the ice al
a rapid rate, and she reached the judges
stand III two minutes and fifty-nine seconds
dis,ancing her companions, and beating
"Little Red Riding Hoods" time just
twelve seconds.
As little Red Riding Hood was Miss Of
only thirteen years,-having neither as
long legs nor as strong as Mrs. Farnum Of
Lowell-and as the latter, moreover, is an
old racer, having better wind, limb and
bottom than it is possible for young girl
of her tender years to have; we suggest
that Mrs. Farnum ought to carry weights
or that so many minutes should be allowed
for short legs, and for difference of stride.
Jockey riders are weighed before taking seat
in the saddle, and woven racers on skates
should have their legs measured before they
start.

~A Washington correspondent thus
speaks of Mr.. Sickle's appearance in the
House:
There is general stir among the fairer
portion of the audience as Mr.. Sickles
saunters quietly ina slender figure, at
tired with such Partisan faultlessuess of
taste that he has acquired the name of the
best dressed man in .he House. His usual
style of dress-one that makes him the en-
Wy of every dandy on Pennsylvania avenue
forts distingue perfection-is black dress
coat, with velvet collar, and light gray
trowsers. tapering down to the small shiny
boots. His hands are encased in perfectly
fitting kid gloves of some dark color, which
he constantly wears, even in his seat. He
is boarding in private family on Thir-
teenth streeth, and "Teresa" is with him.
