u1s LErrER OF ACCEPTANCE

To General Joseph R. Hawley, Presi-
dent National Union Republican Con-
vention: In formally accepting the
nomination of the National Union Re-
publican Convention Of the 21st Of
May inst, it seems proper that some
statement or views beyond the mere
acceptance of the nomination should
be expressed The proceedings of the
Convention were marked with wisdom
moderation and patriotism, AMI I be-
iieYe express the feelings of the great
mass of thosGEho sustained the coun-
try through its recent trials. I endorse
the resolutions, If elected to the
Office of President of the United States,
it will be my endeavor to administer all
the laws in good faith, with economy,
and with the view of giving peace, quiet
and protection everywhere. In times
like the present it is impossible, or at
least eminently improper, to lay down
policy to be adhered to, right or
wrong, through an administration of
four years. New political issues, not
foreseen. are constantly arising; the
views of the public on old ones are
constantly changing, and 3 purely ad-
ministratiye officer should always be
left free to execute the will of the
people. always have respected that
will, and always shall. Peace and
universal prospsrity-its sequence
with economy of administration, win
tighten the burden of taxation. while
it constantly reduces the National
debt. Let Us have peace. With great
respect, your obedient servant,

This vast number of men, marched
IN line, to the spirit stirring notes of a
lsrge number of brass and martial
bands, bearing almost numberless ban
ners, of costly fabrics, bearing quaint,
and theological devices and nottoes,
making the city boisterous and stirring,
indeed, for the Sabbath day. The pro.

Beside this we have had nothing
new, since my last, Of interest. Large
numbers Of the faithful" have gone

Among the items of home news,
pleasant to one, is the denomination of

A Genuine Democratic Cau-
Gus

\ A caucus of the independent Demo
cratic electors of one of the New York
wards had been called for the purpose
of nominating aldermen and schoo
officers. The candidates and theiI
friends manifested the usual alacrity
by arriving at the hall at least half an
hour before the hour of meeting
Ireland-always shrewd in such mat
ters-moVed that Michael AcCuteheou
take the chair, which gave Ireland the
organization. Germany was conciliated
by the appointment of Louis Seidel
Secretary. Nominations being in
order, up popped wiry little Hebrew,
who said: "Mr. Chairmans, der is nine
hs1ltert Jews in tish ward, and tey ex-
pect to be remembered in making up
de dicket. Te Hebrews hain't been
treated right in te ward, and I Just

Germany having sunk to repose, q
brawny son of "the ould sod" took the
floor, and IN tone of mingled respect
and menace, said: Mr. Chairman, 1
know there's a good many Jews and
Germans in the ward, and they all 90
the regular ticket, like good Dimmy-
Gratis, and have had their share of the
Offices. There may be nine hundred
Jews, and there may be fifteen hun

gents that there's hirty.fvs hundred
,ITiskzen in the ward, and I'd jist like
'em to tell me how they're going to

other man, without them! It's all
very well to taik, but EiH ye do it?
We've got more of the voters than all
Of ye put together, and we expect to
have half the ticket at lastel"
Symptoms of confusion began to
arise, and the caucus bid fair to break
up in anything but a celestial temper,
when attention was arrested by a pale
looking, thin-faced, thin-chested, thin
voiced little tailor, who squeaked out
"Mr. Chairman, l was born in this
ward, and have lived in it over forty
years. 1 know a good many who've
lived here all their lives, and I'd like
to know if there's to be any chance for

This insolent inquiry aroused the in
Of the citizens present, who
instantly shouted: "Put him out

silence and Health.

Few are aware that sound has a very
important influence in preserving and
restoring health. Indeed, man would
die almost as soon in world Of su-
preme silence as i one of darkness.
One of our best exchanges says: "Dr.
Kane and other Arctic Yoyagers have
sll testified that in those regions
where eternal silence reigns supreme
the effect upon the brain and ear from
the absence of sonorous impulses in
the atmosphere is exceedingly annoy
ing and absolutely injurious to the
auditory nerves. As the organs of
hearing are destroyed by loud and
continued noise, and an immense light
will weaken and ultimately destroy
the power of sight, so it would appear
that the auditory or optic nearYes be.
come impaired by the partial or total
deprivation Of their natural stimulus,
sound or light. DR.. II. Rails Smith,
of Chicago, wishing experimentally to
investigate this subject. recently spent
a considerable length of time in the
Kentucky Mammoth Cave, where ST.
lence and impenetrsble darkness
reigned supreme. The effect was very
distressing and almost insurmountable,
resulting in temporary detection and
alteration Of mind. From his own
experience this gentlemon Is firmly
convinced that the blindness of the
6nny denizen Of this cave has been
brought about gradually through
successive generations; and, from his
observations, he il confident that the
sense of hearing Is also wanting in
these beings, although originally ex-
isting in the species when first imersed
in the,r living tomb" Some sounds,
however, have a much higher value
than others. Take the Yibrations Of
the air caused by shrieks, moans, and
sobs; the sad, solemn sounds of some
kinds Of music, long continued. They
would sicken the most robust Whiles7
on the other hand the light, joyous
ard beautiful sounds Of other music:
the sound of falling water, of rain on
the roof, the peal of distant thunder,
the tread Of light-hearted, joyous chill
1ren, the voices of mirth, the laugh
Of happy child, the roll Of the ocean,
Dr. the delightful breezes that play to
md fro and fan our cheeks in summer,
IRE all life and health-giTing. A
oand-master informs Us that, when in
he army, weary soldiers on the march
we're much aided by the music of the
band, and would quicken their steps
he moment it commenced. We all
know how much it adds to the ease
md pleasure of dancing, and even
gymnastics IS qusdrupled in interest
~ music. The hygienic value Of
ound is not yet sufficiently apprecia-
ed. 1t might, in form Of music, be
made to do great deal more in all
ur health institutions than it does

NEVER TOO LATE TO LEARS.-It is a
great mistake to suppose that little can
be accomplished if a man has reached
the age of thirty or forty years. Nine
tenths of clever men have actually
exhibited more Yigor oA intellect at
Fifty years of age than at forty.
Franklin was forty before he began
in earnest to study philosophy. The
principal of one of the most flourish
ing colleges in America was q farm
servant till he was past the age when
most students have completed their
collegiate education. Sir Henry
Spelmsn did not begin the study Of
science until he was between fifty and
sixty years of age. Greek vas the
first foreign language which Cato the
celebrated Roman censor, acquired,
and he did so in his old age. Alferi,
whose writing has wrought revolu-
ton in the dramatic iteratureof Italy,
was left without father in his infan-
cy, and wasted early years. John
Ogilby, the author of poetical
translations of Virgil and Homer,
began to study Latin when considera-
bly above forty years of age, and Greek
when in his fifty-fourth. Boccacio,
one of the most illustrious writers that
ever appeared in Italy, suffered nearly
the half of his life to pass without i'm
proyement. Handel was forty-eight
before he published any Of his great
works. DR.. Thomas Arnold, Of Rugby,
learned German at forty, in order that
he might read Neihuhr in the original.

character, invigorste and cheer you in |
your undertakings, ]
