CONVENTION NOTES.

Among the delegates one might have passed an
instructive II not pleasant time yesterday on the
sunny and ON the shady side OF Fourteenth street
there very heterogeneous gathering OF natives
and strangers, broken up into groups which were
small in size Immediately In the vicinity OF Union
square, but gradually increased in bulk and bel
ligerency up TO the steps Of the Tammany temple.
friendly tree not far from the Academy gave shelter
to an interesting crowd OF sovereign citizens,
variousy attired, but with tout ensemble express
ing a supreme contempt for the conventional
ties Of fashion, yet there was q careless elegance
about some Of these which had a very pretty effect.
Those who had no kindly foliage to throw It's re-
freshing shade over them stood bravely In the broi-
Ing bistering with true democratic Indifference
to meteorological conditions. In front OF the Chaner
House dense throng assembled, and all the way
down to Third avenue aud around the nelghboring
people lounged In linen busters and looked
unhappy from the heat. or course the leading and
the only topic with these various degrees OF
citizens was the Presidential question which
was discussed with vigor commensurate
with It's importance The discussions were con-
Quoted with harmony, though at times with
an exceeding bosterousness. Get, saxon and
Teuton were there and joined In the speculative dis
quiaitions which prevailed, enghtening each other
by the views peculiar TO diverse temperaments hail
ing from beyond the sea.
CHARACTER.
Near Tammany Hall an enthusiastic and enterpris-
ing individual induced an obligng delegate 10 hold
an umbrella over him while he ventilated MS opin-
ions from dozen pages OF manuscript to an edited
and admirng audience. He was small, stout man,
with o large whsker the color Of an old meerschaum
pipe and the tile under which his remarkable head
was concealed looked as It might have originally
belonged to Jem Baggs, the wandering minstrel.
Baggs had habit Of laying his hat down with the
brim on the table and placing bis manuscript music
on the crown, the consequence being that the said
brim assumed very level look, departing entirely
from the wave line Of beauty.
From beneath his arm projected monstrous roll
OF documents which gave him learned appearance,
rather the air Of carrying coat OF exterior In
formation which sometimes makes Its impression In
the absence OF the interior article His voice was
study, being blending OF the articulation Of used
up preacher at a camp meeting and a broken down
actor on benefit night. He was pitching into Chase
and raking the republican party from stem to stern
His audience was attentive, but rather selhshly in
cned to take all the shade which the umbrella ar
forded, TO the discomfort OF the orator, who was
adverse to solitary ray OF sunlight renectng on the
political sermon he held In his hands.

PARIS STORY.

The following story is current in
Paris: "The principle Ministers of
the Sultan give 1t Constantinople, from
time to time, balls a. z Europeennee.
Not many months ago Faud Pa.ha had
. dancing party at bis sumptuous resi-
dence. At those balls our own eti-
quette is strictly adeered to with the
sole exception that the Turkish ladies
remain 10 their apartments, where they
are visited only by the fair sex. A
young attache, fond Of praoticing the
prscept Of Napoleon the Great, "Noth.
Ing il impossible in this world" gave
his arm to the wife of his chief and led
her to the harem. When he had
reached the threshold he seemed to be
inclined to span it, when Faud Pachs,
who was watching all the while, came
and said 70 him, Paedon mo, cir, >yos
are accredited to the Po-se. Your
mission ends here.'"

THE END OF OUR EOCR GREAT
MEN.

The four great personages who occu-
py the most conspicuous places ir the
history of the world, are Alexander,
Hannibal, Caesar, and Boneparte.
Alexander, after having climbed>the
dizzy heights Of his ambition, and with
his temples bound with chaplets din.
ped with blood Of countless millions,
looked down upon conquered world
and wept that there was not another
world for him to conquer-set city on
fire, and died in scene of debauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the aston
ishment and CONSERVATION of Rome,
passed the al ps, aud having put to
flight the armies Of the mistress of the
world, and slipped "three bushels of
goldea rings from the fingers OF the
slaughtered Knights" and made her
foundations quake, fed from his coun-
try, being hated by those who once ex-
ultingly united his name to that of
their God and called him Baal, Hina
died at last in foreign country, by
poison administered by hiS own hand
unhmented and unwept.
Caesar, after having conquered eight
hundred cities, and dyeing his garments
in the blood of one million of his foes ;
after having pursued to death the on y
rival on earth, was miserably assassina-
ted by those he considered his dearest
friends, and in that very place the at
tainment of which had been his great
est ambition.
Boneparte, whose mandates kings
and popes obeyed, after having filled
the earth with the. terror of big name,
and after having deluged Europe With
tears and blood, and clothed the world
in sackcloth, closed his days in Danish
ment, almost literally exiIed from the
world, yet where he could sometimes
see his country's banner waving over
the deep, but which did not, and could
not bring him aid. -
Thus these four men who seem ito
stand the representatives of all those
whom the world calls great-these four
men, who each in turn made the earth
tremble to its very centre by their sim
pie tread, severally died-one BY intox-
lcation, Or as was supposed, by poison
mingled in his wine one a suicide,
ono murdered by his friends, and one =

SHERIDAN AT FIsHER's Hula writer in
the last number of the Galaxy relates this
incident of e Gallant Phil:
General Sheridan completed his prepara-
tions for the battle of Fishers Hill in the
afternoon, and intended to attack early next
morning. A curious coincidence changed
his plans and sent him forward that night to
victory. An aid rode up with the announce
ment-
General Crook sends his compliments,
sir, and says he is in position. He'd like to
have you know, sir, his men are in capital
spirits"
"GIad of it." SAYS Sheridan tell him
to stay where he is"
In less than three minutes up came another
aid
General Wright's compliments. General
He is ready to attack at any minute, and the
men are rather anxious for it. They were
never in better spirits" a. Good again" 4"
responded Sheridan. "Tell the General he
will hear from me in good time" And
hardly had he uttered these words when aid
number three came up at a gallOp. . Cen
eral Emory sends his compliments, General.
He told me to say to you that the enemy had
developed nothing but a weak picket on his
left. The corps are in excellent spirits. "
Well, now, by George '' exclaimed Sher-
dan, If the whole army is in such good
trim and temper for the work, why delay
it? You, sir, to the last aid, ''ride back
to General Emory, rapidly, and tell him
to attack at once vigorously with his
whole force. Major, take the ,ame order TO
General Wright. Captain, the same to
Crook. Mount, gentlemen, mount. Well
have that hill before another hour" And
they did have it.

PLANTATION BITTERS.

This splendid Tonic is now used by all classes
of people for every symptom of Stomach out
of order"
The secret of it is this: Plantation Bitters are
certain to correct the juices of the Stomach set all
its machinery at work. and enable it to resist and
throw off the approaching danger. The tendency
of the operations of Nature is always towards a
cure all she needs is little assistance at the
proper time. How much more reasonable and
sensible it is to help her along with gentle, yet
powerful Tonic, than to deluge and weaken and
defeat her curative processes with poisonous drugs
and fiery mixtures, which only stupefy and plant
the seeds of disease and death.

SUDDEN DIvoRCE-The Cincinnati Com
mercial has the following:
There happened here recently, between a
newly married couple from Kentucky. ra-
ther startling episode told briefly as follows:
A young gentleman from the county of Mad
ison, Kentucky, wooed and won the heart of
a most estimabe and handsome young lady
of Fayette county. After several months
courtship the ceremony was duly performed
at the First Presbyterian Church, in Lexing-
ton, and the hapry pair, with buoyant hopes,
took the afternoon train for this city to spend
the honeymoon. The hours, on rosy wings,
few swiftly by, the bridegroom fattered
himself on the prize he had won. and in
blissful ignorance of breakers ahead, ar
rived at the Merchants Hotel where a suite
of rooms had been engaged for the happy
couple and awaited their reception. After
their arrival in the Queen City, and enjoying
supper, the bride retired to her chamber,
and the groom, a spirited young fellow,
thought he would have a run with the boys
and see the elephant little while before re-
firing to the arms of Morpheus and his fair
bride. The result of this little raid around
town can better be imagined than explained;
and we are surprised to say. instead of the
groom, who is jealous - Good Templar,
returning right slde up, lie was, TO use a
mild expression, jolly tight. and his newly
made wife refused to admit him, and persist
emily vowed that she would return home on
the morrow; ringing the bell, alarmed the
clerk, who provided an extra bridal chamber
for one, and the groom was soon sleeping
profoundly.
On the morrow, after having passed the
night in profound slumber, all unconscious
of having any wife, he was astoni>hed TO learn
that she had deserted him. But such was
the fact she had returned to her parents in
Fayette county, where she still remains. re-
fusing, thus far, to become reconciled to the
man who could desert her, on their first night
of welded life, for the society of male
friends
