The dispatches which have been received
from Chicago to this time were made up so
long before the convention that the estimates
will not receive implicit reliance. The dele
gates are not yet all present, and the prefer
ences OF very many are not known. Every
estimate which is made must, of course, be
founded upon vague speculation. The extra
ordinary efforts which are apparent to secure
the nomination of some other person than Mr..
Seward indicate how strong feeling there is
in his favor-a feeling which is more likely to
increase than to diminish during the two days

about one hundred gentlemen were present,
and the Lord Bishop of st. David's presiding.
In his speech 10 the toast of the evening, the
Chairman said, in illustration of the remark
that our language had not lost either in COM
pass or force through the hands which now
nsed it, that ga few years ago, in the Royal
Academy of Berlin, most ilustrious German
philcloger recorded it as his deliberate opin-
ION that the language Of Shakespeare was des-
tined to become universal, and bear sway, like
the French race itself, in distant parts of the
globe; that its copiousness, its compactness,
and its good sense fitted it for the purpose in a
higher degree than any other living tongue,

JOHN DEAN AND his MARY ANN.-The Alba
ny Sfafestndn says:-s:A deceased broker left
each OF Mr.. BOXERS four children $4,000.
Mary Ann ihas already, or will shortly have,
that sum at her own disposal. Mr.. Boxer left
an estate valued at over S8OO,OOO. He disin-
herited Mary Ann and son who has always
taken her part, and thereby offended the faith
er. But it is understood that neither of the
two children, nor the mother, share in the
sentiment of Mr.. B., and doubtless the estate
will in the end be about equally divided. Ma
ry AIMS oldest sister made very similar
match, marrying the porter In her fathers
store; but he was German, and Mr.. B. had
80 much prejudice in favor of his countrymen
that he forgave the offsnse."

LuMBR1MEN,s CAMPS.

The editor Of the Ellsworth american hay-
ing recently visited the Maine lumbermen in
their backwoods camps, gives the following
description of their winter habitations:
''The camps of these hardy and laborious
men are made Of logs, and covered with splints
which are long shingles, made of cedar, and
rived and shaved. These are again covered
with boughs. In the centre of the camp is
the 6rc, extending half its length, with an o.
pen space just rs large in the roof, for the es-
cape OF the smoke. modern Improvement
has been inCroduced--the fire dogs, or andi-
rons. These are made from to feet long,
and large enough to hold large quantity Of
wood. They are really q pair of these indis-
ponsible articles welded together, with one
foot in the centre to strengthen the double
headed fire dog One Of the luxuries of
camp life is to sit on the sdeacon- seat and
watch the flames as they issue forth from the
hard wood fire, the product of numberless
long and large sticks of wood, big enough for
IN old-fAshioned sback-log.' The deacon
seats are sticks Of timber, hewn and squared,
and placed parallel with the fire, and on each
side Of it for seats. Back of these seats, are
the dormitory apartments. A good founda-
fion is made with cedar or spruce boughs, on
which are spread, number of comforts, made
thick and warm with cotton batting.
"One of the curosities of these habitations,
Is the 'bean oven.' This is hole excavated
at one end OF the Gre, and near the fire-dog,
In which, after being sufficiently we'll heated
with Goals, is placed large iron pot flied
with beans having sheet iron covering jut-
ting over the outer rim, covered all over with
Goals and hot embers, and left to cook through
the night while the men are sleeping. In the
morning the spot Of beans is taken from its
bed, and the beans are on tho table for break
fast, steaming and inviting enough to tempt
an cpicure. One of these camps had dining
and cooking room, in addition to the usual
accommodations, aud also good sized cook
stove. There are, generally, from Is to 20
men to each camp. In all that we visited,
quietness, order, industry, and the best of
feeling, existed among the inmates.

ou1 HApp1Esr DAYS.

They tell me, love, that you and
Our happiest days are seeing,
While vet 10 shut from either's eye
The change that waits on being;
All. life they says weary way,
With less Of Joy than sorrow,
For whore . sunlight falls to-day,
ThereH be q sh ade tomorrow
lf ours be love that will not bear
Tho test Of change and sorrow,
And only deeper channels wear
In passing to each morrow
Then better were it that to-day
We fervently were praying,
That what We have may pass away
While We the words were saying
Tho heart has depths of bitterness
As we'll as depths of pleasure
And those who love, love not unless
They both of these can measure.
There is time, and it will come,
When this they must discover,
And voc if either then be dumb
To power that moved the lover.
There ara some spots where each will fall,
And each will need sustainiDg;
And suffering is the lot of all,
And is Of Gods ordaining:
Then wherefore do our hearts unite
In bonds that none can sever,
If not to bless each changing light,
And strengthen Zach endeayor7
Then while these happy days we bless
Let as no doubt be sowing;
Gods mercy never will be less,
Though He should change the showing
Snch be our faith as on we tread.
Each trusting and obeying,
As two who BY His hands are led,
And hear what he is saying.

The PoLreAMr BILL AMONG THE MoRMoss.-

The PoLYGAMY BILL AMONG THE MoRMoNs.-
The Mormons of Salt Lake do not like the idea
OF Congress meddling with their domestic af-
fairs, and limiting the number of their wives.
Orson Pratt is particularly severe in his de-
nunciation of the Polygamy bill, and. while
predicting awful and everlasting destruction to
the Union, says there is ssnOthing that the
Mormons could do but to stand by the Consti.
tuition and maintain the rights that their fore
fathers had secured to them by their life IS
blood" Did their forefathers indulge in a
plurality of fwives If they did not, we do not
see how their lecherous descendants can claim
more than were lawfully due to their progeni-
tors.
