AN AMUSING ISorDEST.-During a re-
cent revival m amusing incident took
place, which illustrates the power of
political principles, even in matters OF
religion, and shows that with some per-
sons prayer is of no account unless it is
of the right stripe politically. At a GER
tain stage Of the proceedings it was GUS
tomary for the minister to leave the pull
pit, mingle with his hearers and endeayor
to prevail upon the "unconverted," by
personal persuasion, to pray for a change
Of heart, etc. On this occasion, while
exhorting one after another, with va
rious success, he appealed to a young
man whose knowledge Of Webster was
either limited or slightly confused, or
both, with:
"My young friend, have you prayed
tonight for the salvation Of your i'm
mortal soul"
'.No, sir !" answered tho youth with
q penitsnt tone and downcast look.
EDO you not desire to offer up thanks
for the many mercies you have already
received by divine favor"
Yes I; but / don't know how" hest
tatingly answered the youth.
"But, my dear boy, you can repeat
the publican's prayer, can't you?" asked
the minister gravely.
"No, sir" was the emphatic response,
"I'm a Democrat ="

Two OCCASIONS wHRN GENERAL GRANT
WAS ANaRY.-No man in the country
possesses greater control over himself
than General Grant. General Webster,
his former Chief Of Staff, states that
during his long and intimate connection
with him he never saw his chief display
any exhibition of temper except upon
two occasions ; once when he detected
a private soldier de6ling q spring OF
water near Donelson, and afterward at
Corinth, when suffering IN indignity
from Hallsck. After Johnston's defeat
and death at Shiloh, Beauregard, 1t will
be remembered, retrosted to Corinth and
fortified. Halleck summoned his Gen.
erals to a council Of war to determine
upon the best means for ~dislodging the
enemy. Ono after another was called
upon for his views. When Grant sug-
gested his plan of attack, Halleck pooh
poohed it in tho most insulting and in
dignant manner The former made no
reply. His lower lip, however, became
worry tremulous, showing that he keeuly
felt tho indignity, and upon returning to
his tent was depressed for hours. He
yet made no allusion to the occurrence,
beyond remarking to his Chief Of Staff
that Halleck had deeply wronged him.
Subsequently, when Beauregard had
escaped southwark, it became clearly
apparent to all the Generals that had
Grants advice been followed, Corinth
would not only have been captured, but
Beauregard's army would have been cut
in twain, and the retreat Of a portion Of
il cut off.-N. Y. TimI.

A RUNAWAY WIFI.-Last Saturday
evening Marshal McNew received a tele-
cram from Patrick McNulty, Of Omaha,
Stating that his wife had decamped with
n Patrick Higgins, taking with her
5000 and a full supply of bed clothing
belonging to him. The dispatch also
requested him to arrest the guilty pair,
which he did upon tho arrival of the
Colorado on Sunday morning. They
were taken to the Recorders Court and
were examined. The bed clothes were
found, but only $50 Of the money.
The couple were not sent to Jail, but
were kept under strict guard to await
the appearance of the womau's husband,
who arrived on Thursday. 4 compro-
mise was then agreed upon between
them, she giving him back $500 of the
money, and he ~rsnouncing all claims
upon his wife and agreeing that the
marriage bonds should be BY both par
ties deemed annulled.
At the conclusion Of the compromise
tho wife wept bitterly, and appeared to
be very sorry for her conduct, which
softeued her husbands heart and he
finally concluded to take her back home,
to remain, how long, w know not.

THE R ROLLS ON.

From early, chaotic barbarism our
world has progressed in regular ratio,
year by year, century by century, each
succeeding period bringing with it new
ideas and developments, until we Of the
present age luxuriate in the complacent
belief that we know more than the world
ever knew before. Science, education,
and experience have poured their treas
ures at our feet, and our minds are
stored with the afiuence Of worldly IN
telliCence and wisdom. Physically,
mentally, and morally we are high in
training, and the darkness too often
surrounding and inherent with ancient
dogmas and old fossilized ideas is fast
fading away before the broad, universal
beamipgs Of truth and right, and the
irresistible onward march Of intellect
and education. We respect the good
old ideas and opinions OF our fathers,
even as they did those Of their fathers
but, following their example III 'u'
broad rule of progression, we try and i'm
prove on those ideas and opinions, all
possible. Faint glimmerings of undevel-
oped theories entertained by them have
in our hands become demonstrated either
as facts, or falsities, and new thoughts,
theories and principles now present with
US and yet not understood, will, to our
children become clear as the light OF the
MONDAY sun. Contracted, iliberal
ideas and narrow minded prcJudices
must fade away before the light of Gods
great truth and wisdom, and all who
would not be left behind must join in
the onward current. Those who persist
in trying to clog the wheels of the car
of progress will be found foundering in
the mud q hundred years hence. The
world rolls on. Whatever else we wished
TO have said on this subject can be
heard in the lecture Of Hon. Thomas
Fitch, at Gold Hill, this evening.

and foreign, which that sovereign wore
or was entitled to wear; it is estimated

tho loss of the liberties of my country"

HoRRoRs OF WAR.-The miserieS Of

follows: "a singular and sad fortune
has fallen the families Of the principal
victims of this cruel war. Castillo was
shot within an hour Of his arrest. His
wife, the innocent u Of his apprc-
hension, has gone mad. Mejia was shot
with tho Emperor, and the ladies Of
Oueretaro had his body embslmed. Tho
day he fell his wife was found on the
floor of her house, surrounded by can
dies and 8 crucifx, from which she
could not DO torn, moaning incoherent-
ly, and her reason gone. The case Of
Mrs. Miramon is very similar. A lady
of intelligence, with a family of six
children, six months ago, when she
journeyed from Paris to Mexico, she
little dreamed of tho fate of herself and
gallant husband.

THE New Cry OF CHkYEsSs.-The
Atchison Free Pre,s gives tho following
notice Of this new city:
The new city Of Cheyenne, on the line
of the Omaha Pacific road, is situated
about ITO miles north Of Denver, and
40 west of the terminus of the track.
The road will, however, be completed
to Cheyenne this Fall, and there work
will cease for the Winter, and perhaps
for a good part Of next seasonal least
till the work in the mountains shall
have been pushed along considerably.
There are now about 800 business houses
and lodging places in Cheyenne, and
among them three banks and two print
ing Offices. a Methodist Episcopal
church has been organized, and this is
the only step taken toward bringing
society out of the chaos into which it is
thrown in the new city. One of the
printing offices issue q tri-wsekly paper,
the other is not yet in operation. Build
ing goes on rapidly, and business is very
brisk. Cornforth Brothers have just
completed q grocery store building "a
by 60 feet, the lumber for which they
hauled ITO miles. There is no timber
within several miles. Coal is found at
q distance of fifteen miles from the city,
and this will supply oil demands for
fuel. General Stevens is erecting q
stone warehouse, SO by l20 feet, at a
cost of about Sl5,o 200. This will be the
bost business structure in the city. ].
o. A. Rollins, formerly of Atchison, is
erecting o hotel 40 by 100 feet, two and
n half stories high. 1t is a very heavy
frame building, and the timbers were
hauled 100 miles. B. L. Forbes has the
best restaurants very fine ono. Hooke
& Moore have the largest corral. About
the first Of the month n heavy wind blew
down several buildings, completely dc.
molishing Lydell h Robinson's store
among the rest. The city has q regu.
larly organized government, and - is
Mayor. The growth Of tho town has
been very rapid, but it is represented as
substantial, and it is thought that the
place will still be al important one after
tho road shall have passed on to the
mountains.

ROMANTIC WEDDING-A COUPLE MAR
RIED TO SAVE HOTEL RooM.-.Thursday
evening, at q late hour, John Streeter,
Esq, George Mann, ESQ.,, Miss Mann and
Miss P%ritchard, Of Hudson, Wisconsin,
arrived in this city and registered their
names at tho International hotel. The
several individuals desired separate
rooms, though oil belonged to the same
party, and it did not seem unreasonable
that the two ladies should occupy ono
room, while the two gentlemen occu-
pied another. On account of the crowd
cd state Of tho hotel it was found I'M
possible to give each IL separate room,
and they were so informed. They then
retired to the ladies' parlor, and held a
council of wal on tho subject of the
manner in which they were to be nc
commodated. After q short time Mr..
George Mann sought an interview with
the proprietor OF tho hotel, and said he
thought the matter could be satisfac-
torily arranged If the proper officials
could be procured.
"What officials do you require, my
dear sir p was tho very polite but per-
emptory request of the host.
Mr.. Mann replied that either n clergy
man or n justice Of tho peace would
answer. No sooner said than done ! A
justice Of the peace was summoned, and
in about five minutes Mr.. Strceter and
Miss Mann were made ono flesh, accord
ing to the statute in such case made and
provided. =,
Colonel Johnson, of the international,
and Major Dyke, of Faribault, were the
witnesses, Mr.. George Mann giving away
the bride. This little ceremony, costing
the hotel nothing, and only involving
the parties in tho expense of the fee to
the justice and the revenue stamp on
tho marriage certificate, saved to the
hotel one room, which was soon after
let to an elderly gentleman from the
country, at the rate Of three dollars a
day.-From the 81. Paul Minn. Pioneer.
