The Omaha, Nebraska, Herald, tells US
how George Francis Train commenced
building hotel at that place. While a
large number of gentlemen were dining at
the Herndon, the gale blew out pane of
glass. The gush of air was fearful to those
afraid of the draft. What was to be done ?
No hat was big enough-no time to put in a
pane of glass-no pillow at hand the gale
too fierce to tack up the curtain, and all the
while the guests taking cold. Train was
equal to it, he gave one of Thad. Stevens 5
new citizens ten cents a minute to stand
with his back against the breeze. The eff,
feet was electric, the wind was stopped, the
guests were happy, and the negro delighted
But the success was not appreciated by the
steward; he objected, said the waiter was

ing that his genius was not appreciated, got
mad said he would build new hotel in
sixty days! bought the land that night; dug
the cellar next morning and fifty carpenters
were at work the day following This is the
history of the grand hotel of the Pacific, and
illustrates the proverb that it is an i'll vino
that blows nobody any good.

The Buffalo Express tells the following
hard one :-"Mr. might have been
seen yesterday drawing his infant in baby
chaise up Main street accompanied by his
wife. Now such sights are common enough
but when it is stated that pater families is
ninety years of age, his wife but seventeen,
and the baby eight months, it must be con
fessed that new phase is put upon the
matter. Such, however, is the case. The
venerable father walked with an elastic step,
and the youthful mother seemed to be as
happy as mortal need be in this sublunary
sphere, while the baby smiled and crowded

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION.

1t affords us great satisfaction to chroni-
Gle the result of the recent judicial election,
as it shows that the attempt of a radical jun
to in the south part of Henry county has
received tremendous rebuke at the hands
of the people, and that Mr.. Peasants, Of
this city, the independent candidate, is tri-
umphantly elected. The following are all
the returns we have received, but they are
enough to know that Mr.. Pleasants's majori.
ty viii be over 1000.

1t is reported that the democratic managers. ia
rivalry with the republicans, are connecting
nlan for sending democratic speakers throughou
the southern states.
We respectfully invite them to stay away
We know our own rights and see our wrongs
as clearly as they can demonstrate them to
us. There seems to us to be an insuferable
impudence in these northern speakers and
journalists who, on either side, undertake our
enlightenment, and to point out to US the
path that we should tread. We are not at
all interested in their party success, whether
democratic or republican. AS for talking
back to such itinerants as Kelly and Wilson,
we think, the less of it the better. If those
who cannot hold their tongues would keep
away, all would be well. Indeed, we could
wish that all, except such as wish to be with
them, would avoid them.-Ne,r Orleans

1t is said that in Indiana "cold feet are
regarded as a good cause for divorce. II
the petition of dissatisfied wife for divorce,
in one of the St. Louis courts, is allowed,
we shall believe the Indiana story. This
distressed complainant reports that the first
chill her affections received was on the
wedding tour, when she caught cold and was
not allowed to have fire at the hotel, on ac-
count Of the expense. Her next shock was
from tough beefsteak seasoned with lard.
The deadly stab was the husbands refusal
to furnish her with feather bed. A killing
blow was his unkindness to her sisters; but
the "unkindest cut" of all was his reticence
at the dinner table he did not help her to
the mutton chops; failed to pass the pota-
toes; neglected to furnish her plate with
vegetables, and left her to help herself
These insuferable indignities preyed upon
her health and wrecked her peace of mind
and she now appeals to the courts for re.
dress.

FROM Ex-PREsIDENT PIERCE.
CONCORD, N. H., May 20, 1867.
Hon. PHILIP ToMpERT, MAYOR, AND OTHERS:
GENTLEMEN-I am honored by your note
inviting me to be present, as guest of the
city of Louisville, at the Inauguration of the
statue of Henry Clay. on the Goth inst. ]
respond heartily to every sentiment you ex-
press with regard to the orator, statesman,
and patriot, whose services, during long,
peculiarly eventful and most useful life,
found their source and unrivalled power in
his profound appreciation of paternal union,
of the people of our whole country.
He, indeed, knew no north, no south, no
east, no west. His sacred maintenance of
the common bond was only equalled by his
true devotion to the common brotherhood
His great heart embraced every degree of
latitude and longitude within the circuit of
our wide domain. How deplorably have
we felt the loss of the forecast the courage
and the noble spirit of concession and COM
promise, each SO conspicuous in the various
positions which he occupied and adorned
Most signally did these characteristics Illus
trate his career, from 1911, when on the
first day of his appearance as member of
the United States House of Representatives,
he was chosen its presiding officer, until the
memorable struggle of l850-5l, upon the
compromise measures, when his genius and
eloquencs came to his country's help, with
vigor and brilliancy which even he had new
er surpassed.
Louisville will be sacred ground to day -
Sons and grandsons of the fathers who, by
their valor, achieved independence, and by
their wisdom founded the republic, repre-
senting every state, old and new, will, I con-
hdentiy trust stand together around that
