How the People generally Received the
Nominations.
Az NV YORK CITY.

AT NEW YORK CITY.
The Republicans of the city were most
enthusiastic yesterday at the receipt of the
news from Chicago. Although the first
choice of many was Mr.. Seward, the doubt
of his success as a candidate reconciled his
friends to the action of the Convention,
especially since so excellent a standard
bearer as Mr. Lincoln had been chosen
Last evening the Republicans in most of
the wards met to ratify the nominations,
when good feeling and the assurance of sue
cess animated the audiences. The Young
Mems Republican Central Union, the Cen
trail Cam paign Club, the First Assembly
Club, and the Ninth and Sixteenth Ward
Associations, entered upon the work OF the
campaign at onee.-Iri6ane.
AT CHICAGO.
The nomination of Mr.. Lincoln for the
Presidency by the Republicans, has been
received by the party in Illinois and the
Northwest with an enthusiasm unparalleled
since the days of 1910. The excitement
which has centered at the Wigwam for the
last three DAVIS. has scattered throughout the
CITY. The Wide Awakes this evening are
marching in procession, numbering over
1000, with torch-lights, banners and trans
parencies. All appear to have become boys
again. Bonfres blaze on the street-corners,
and meetings are being held in front of the
fremont and Metropolitan Hotels. A large
and enthusiastic meeting is being held IN
the Wigwazn, speeches BY tbs Hon. Joshua
r. Giddings and other prominent men and

Discoveries in the East.

Antiquarian discoveries of the highe st
interest have lately been made in the
Great Desert, beyond the river Jorden,
by an English gentleman, G. G. Graham,
Esq. who read paper on the subject to
the Royal Asiatic Society, oE January 7.
Far to the cast of the district Of the
Hauran, and in region unvisited by any
European traveller, he found five ancient
towns, all as perfect as if the inhabitants
had just left them-the houses retaining
the massive stone doors which are char
acteristic of the architecture of that re.
gion. Que of the citiesFis remarkable
for large building, like castle, built
of white stone, beautifully cut. Farther
eastward other places were found where
/" every stone was covered with inscrip-
tons in an unknown character. bearing
some apparent likeness to the Greek
but PROBABLY rcferable tiu the
opinion of Mr.. Graham) to the ancient
Hamyaritic alphabet, forEly in use in
Southern Arabia. Copies aud impress.
ions Of several inscriptions are presented,
and will. no doubt, engage the attention
of Orientalists.

The Bird Of tho Tolling Bell.

Among the highest words and deepest
glens of Brazil, sound is sometimes
heard SO singular that the noise seems
quite uanatura.; is like the distant and
solemn tolling of a church bell struck at
intervals. This extraordinary noise pro.
ceeds from the Anawonda. The bird sits
at the top of she highest trees in the
deepest forests, and though constantly
he ard ia the most desert places. it is very
rarely seen. Its impossible to conceive
anything of more solitary character
than the profound silence of the woods,
broken only by the metallic and almost
supernatural 5 Jund. of this invisible bird,
coming from the air and seeming 10 fol

is white. with a circle of red around its

A Close Calculation.

A sharp, shrewd, economical chap. who
contracted for the erection Of frame
dwellings, in the Western country, was
constantly hoasting to his friends of the
powers of calculation. Said he, one day.,
while III the centre Of his admiriDg lis.
teners
4" Why, boys, never had any waste In
building house. You know the big
school house over in N? calculated
so close in building it, that had only
two square feet of timber left when IL
was completed"
An old gentleman, who had frequently
heard the speaker boast of his great cali.
culating abilities. thus replied
Well, that was doing pretty we'll {
but there's contractor down in r.. who
erected whole block of frame buildings ::
but the owners refused to pay for the
same, because there was an ugly hole in
the house, caused by the contractor
running short Of lumber, just taco feet
What do you Ghink he did, asked the old
gent, seriously.
Why, bought more timber to finish
it, said the first boaster chuckling at
the want of calculation on the part of
the contractor.
+" No" said the old gent" he gathered.
up the sa1cdust, slapped it into the hole.
completed The block, and got his money"
After the relation of this anecdote
contractor No. l was completely cured

A Terrible Meeting.

One OF the western papers gives this
account, which cannot be excelled in sad
ness by anything of our recollection !:
For some time past house of ill.fame
has annoyed the citizens Of village on
the line Of the Cleveland and Columbus
Railroad. and it was determined that the
house should be breken up. On Thavs
day night the Marshal of thayillage made
a descent upon the house, took the in.
mates into custody, and Friday morn
ing they we're taken before a Magistrate
for examination. There were three girls
among the prisoners, and As the eyes of
the Magistrate fell on one ofthem he
grew deathly pale and hastily adjourned
the Court Among those wretched and
abandoned girls he recognized the once
fair features of bis own daughterl Sew
eral years before, while attending. a
female seminary in the Eastern States,
she had eloped with worthless fellow,
and her father had never heard Of her or
seen her, until that terrible morning
Deserted by her husband, she adopted
a life of prostitution and found her way
to the West. Her father, unknown TO
her, moved also to the West aud settled
in the village above alluded to. There
are strange eventful histories in life.
