osE Of Ivins' 6ne grey horses, belonging
TO his well known matched team, was drown
ed near the Eastern Depot last Sunday after
noon. The team Was attached to q baggage
wagon, and was driven off before the ferry
had been made fast to the shore, and as the
boat swung around it caught the hind wheels
of the wagon in such way as to drag wagon
and team into the water One Of the horses
luckily became detacb Cd and was saved the
other, as we stated above was lost.
ANorHER.-A horse attached to buggy,
and belonging on this side of the river, was
drowned in CLANCY Creek Sunday afternoon

The SHERIDAN AND HAwKEYE.-Ithasb beer
q long time since steamboat race has crea
ted 60 much talk and discussion as the late
trial Of speed between those magnificent
steamers, the Sheridan and Hawkeye. Tn.
telegraph Lad announced to all the cite
along the river that the two boats had left 81
Louis to contest, in fair and honorable run
for the championship Of the Upper Mississip
pi, and the people along their route becam,
interested at once in the race, and at eacl
landing crowds were on hand to cheer ans
throw up their hats for their favorite steamer
The time made by these boats is, perhaps
the fastest on record. Both boats started from
st. Louis on the afternoon Of the 8d-,b.
Hawkeye leading the Sheridan about one
hour, and the Sheridan reaching the whar
one hour ahead Of her competitor. The
Dubuque Times says " The Sheridan came
in with brooms and banners flying. and pla
card attached to her jack stack, bearing the
inscription of the time made in her trip She
looked proud and gay, and even her whit,
shirt collars seemed to feel pride in the vic,
torious run of the race horse The Hawk.
eye arrived just an hour later, and although
fairly beaten by her rival she made gallan
fight and famous trip. The Sheridan left
last night for her return trip to St. Louis {
day ahead of time"
The Sheridan reached our wharf Sunday !.
noon, and we are indebted to the Clerk fol-
the following statement Of the time made il

An United Cabinet---A Little story
About MFR. Lincoln.

From The ". Y. Times,
The rumor of approaching Cabinet
changes has induced the republication
in some quarters of the address TO
President Lincoln drawn up in a eau
Gus of Republican Senators in 1868, the
object of which was to secure change
of Cabinet. The address insisted in
very strong terms on the necessity of
having a united Cabinet and one thor
oughly in sympathy with the Presi-
dent. a committee of nine, with Judge
Collamer at its head, waited on the
President and read him the address.
Mr.. Lincoln listened TO it with atten-
ton, and then entered into free conver-
satiOn with the Senators, each one OF
whom expressed his approval of the
sentiments of the paper just read. Mr.
Lincoln concurred with them fully,
aand said that as his Cabinet had
always seemed to him to be uni
ted, and had always approved of
his policy, he thought the Committee
were laboring under u misapprehen-
sion. "And now" he said, ~ want 10
ask you one questiOn-or rather want
each one to ask himself the question.
You say you think ought to have a
Cabinet every member of which agrees
lDith me in opinion" "YeS," they all
replied. Now said MIR. Lincoln, sis
that precisely what you mean? Don't
you think l ought to have Cabinet
every member OF which agrees NTH you
in opinion? Isn't that what you want?
Don't answer me now, but think it over
and come back Tomorrow" In repeat
ing the story, Mr.. Lincoln remarked
that they did not come back Mr.. Sew
ard promptly sent in his resignation
but as Mr.. Chase also sent his and the
President declined to accept either un.
less he accepted both, the plot fell
through.

PRACTICAL EDUcATIoN.-Educat
should consist much more than it does
in learning to do, to act, to perform.
The successful men of the world are
those who can accomplish the ends of
life, who can by their own energy and
skill bring about grand and useful re-
suits. Our educational institutions
make us learned, cultured, but not
sufficiently actors. One reason why
very often the young men who have
but little education from the schools
surpass those who have lived for years
In college walls is because they have
been trained to action. Action gives
health and strength. Culture gives
ease, grace, and finish. They belong
together, but have been separated. Let
them be brought once more into some
grand scheme of education, and We
shall have men and women as the re-
suit who can only accomplish noble
work, but have at the same time fine
scholars, with cultivated manners, with
grace and dignity of demeanor.-Her-
aid of Health.

From The Boston Daily advertiser.
With these unfortunate facts
before US, and with the great national
election only thirteen months distant,
tits OF the highest importance that Re-
publIcans should at once wake up TO
their duty. We do not speak here OF
the need of more thorough deti6eration
than has 6ee1. given to many questions Of
political policy, and a more careful dd-
herence to judiciotts and moderate men as
leaders, than has always been possible
in the last two years of confidence and
stormy excitement. We now speak of
the necessity of comprehendiDg once
for all the Overshadowing Importance
of the great national issues, and of
learning that it is our duty to keep
them alone in view, and to turn neither
TO the right hand nor to the left until
they are settled.
The Republican party, by which we
mean those who support the policy OF
Congress as against the President, con-
tains, we doubt not, large majority of
the people of the Northern States, and
indeed. of the United States altogether.
And this majority unquestionably en-
tertain, at least as matter OF specula-
tive conviction, the opinion that the
present controversy OUeT The Reconstruct
ton of the South not only is the nlOstUdri-
Gus crisis that has occurred IN our nG-
G0nui politics since 1860, Dut must, in
its consequences, be felt to the remotest
period OF our history. Men will vie
with each other in strong expressions
of its vast moment and of its possible
perils and hopes. But such a contro-
versY will not fight it's way TO q fortu-
nate decision. If the men who are
convinced of ikS Importance and tGhO feel
the principles at stake in its UitlE truths,
are to turn aside for temporary local
issues, and forget the national question
in the presence of license and ex-
else controversies or matters of Sunday
law or OF street-car ethics, they need
not expect to see the great question of
the century take care of ITSELF The
settlement of that question has been
duty TO throw all others aside until this
weighty subject has been dealt with
and disposed OF fully and finally.
1t Is because this, the duty nearest at
hand, has been for gotten in the confidence
of the moment, and not because the Re-
publican party is either smaller or less
strongly convinced than formerly of
the Justice of that which it has under
taken, that reverses have now befallen
us in the central States of the Union.
1t is high time therefore to take up
once more and seriously the great work
which is given us to do, and until it is
finished TO abandon all matters of mi
nor consequence and to-day is not too
early and Massachusetts is not an in
appropriate place for thus returning to
the only task worthy to engage the at
tention of American citizens at this
moment,
