then be selected, and there is no reason to

SINGULAR FRIENDSHIP OF A CHILD AND

ANGULAR + RIENBSHIP OF CHILD AND
A RAr-A few days ago (says the Louisville
JournaD the attention of the matron OF the
Protestant Orphan Asylum, situated on Fifth
street. was directed to her little boy, child
four or Eve wears Of age, who was seated in
the yard gaiiy and buSiiy feeding large RAJ,
that had climbed upon his shoulder, while
both parties appeared to he on the most
friendly and familiar terms possible. Upon
inquiry, she learned that this singular &C
quaintance had commenced nearly six weeks
ago, and that frequent meetings had since &C.
cured between them. About midnight on
Saturday last the lady was awakened by the
child, and informed BY il that there was
rat in the bed" AS may be readily believed,
she sprang hastily out, and, lighting the gas,
found the rat snugly ensconeed in the arms
of her darling, Of course the animal was
quickly pu. to fight, and since that time no
new developments in this strange attachment
have occurred. That this little boy should
be singled cut from a group of forty or fifty
children as the object of this animals atfec
ton seems strange.

SCENERY on THE ROUTE.
The correspondent OF the Boston Traveller
says The scenery along the route of the
Union Pacific Railroad is greatly diversified.
While much OF the prairie land is of great
sameness in us character and extremely
HOMOGENEOUS, the mountain views are sub
timely grand. Sometimes, for miles along
the line, the ground is csrpeted With sum
hnwers, cactus, and thousands of other prai-
RE flowers, the hues OF which are more
brilliant and gorgeous than the cultivated
flowers of our Eastern gardens. As we ap-
roach the mountains the scenery becomes
holder There are very few trees in sight
from the road. Dec sionally we catch Gimp
Ofthe Piatte river, broad, sinuous, sill

with wonderful effect. Anon we pass what
is termed dog town, INHABITED by thousands
of those pretty little creatures the prairie

again they are terraced and bear a strong
resemblance to well constructed earth works. |

land along the line of the road is strongly

of course untitled for use. A story is told

A SECLUDED SET.-In one of the interior
provinces Of China, colony Of Jews, num-
bering about two hundred families has main
tanned its isolation for long course Of years.
How they obtained their position, and how
they have maintained it, may well excite the
attention of historians, but that they are
there with all the essential peculiarities of
the Jewish faith and nationality is well es-
tablished.

later. These men saw that the contest of their
party in this canvass against name that 50
carried the story Of the war as Grants did
was hopeless, and turned their thoughts to
what might practically be done this year.
They gave up the candidate to be named by the
North on condition that the North would give
them their vital points Of principle in the plat
form. This was cheap victory. They could
afford to let the North name the candidate, for
1t made no difference who he might be, since
1t was so nearly an absolute certainty that he
must be beaten, while in securing the platform
they were enabled to identify new consolidated
democracy in the very hour of Its birth with
that policy in regard to the Southern States
that must eventually have the sympathy of the
whole people. They gave up the candidate and
the New Workers. named him. The position Of
our city democrats on the Presidency is this !:
if there is man in the White House whom
they can manage they would like to have q
democratic President; but if they cannot
manage democratic President they would
rather have a President of the other party.
This is all in regard to the city spoils. A
President they can manage will put their own
men in the Custom House and the Post Office,
and all will be harmony between the national
plunderers and the municipal plunderers Of this
free metropolis; but If the President is one
who will put other kinds Of democrats here to
distress the municipal stealers and provoke
division on tickets, they would rather have
President to put in republicans, from whom
they will be safe. This is their political
philosophy, and in the contrast between it and
the political ideas that moved the Southern
leaders we see the true difference between the
two classes of men.
The Southern leaders are looking, therefore,
in this fight solely for its effect on the future.
They know that they cannot win this year
they must apprehend that they may not win
for two or three campaigns to come; for, in
view of the vitality that Grant will give, in
view of the development Of political purposes
that will characterize his administration, it is
at least possible that his party will receive
from him an impulse that may carry it
triumphantly many years into the future.
On the other hand it cannot be con-
cealed that it is party naturally tend
ing towards early disintegration. 1t is
full of elements that are essentially conflict
ing, and that can only act together while some
idea or will altogether dominating keeps in
allegiance the natural tendency. Already this
inevitable divergence of the elements of that
party may be seen as IL appears on one great
topic in the comparison Of the views Of differ
ent radical leaders on the subject of national
finances. And while this is true it is certain
that the Southern democrats have placed their
party right for the future on the subject that
is to determine the fate Of many candidates,
the reconstruction of the Southern States and
the relative position of the different races of
men under this government.

DISTINCTIONS In streets.

OF the many distractions which are con-
thoroughfares Of this city, and often at hazard
to life and limb, none are so unsightly, un-
necessary and disagreeable as the materials
for building which constructors and architects,
as If actuated by malice, manage to obtrude on
a patient, long-suffering brick-and-mortar rid
den public. Were 1t impossible to pile in
convenient places stone and lumber, sand and
lime-as on q vacant lot in the immediate
vicinity Of what is facetiously called an Sim
provement," or in the usual excavation within
the boundaries of the land-there could be no
objection raised against the occupation Of .
moiety of the roadway and the whole Of the
sidewalk to the general misery,
1t is not pleasant, especially on clustering
autumn days, when the wind in fitful gusts
sweeps . thoroughfare where many buildings
are in course Of erection, as is the case at the
present time In nearly all the avenues on
the east side Of the town, the Fifth especially,
to pass up or down them and have your ears
and nostrils, mouth and eyes filed with par
ticles Of unslacked lime and exceedingly sharp
edged, fint-like bits of sand, to say nothing Of
the injury your cuticle and your garments
alike sustain. It is very pleasant indeed 70
witness the rapid growth Of our beautiful city
and watch the increasing evidences OF IL
wealth, both real and personal; but because
palaces are being erected BY whole blocks u
that an excuse for Selling the highways By
builders and seriously interfering with or
wholly excluding from them those who have
the first and best title to them-the peoplea
Those engaged in putting up buildings have
an idea which they probably derived from
long years Of lax administration of the NUM-
cipal laws, that the half of the street opposite
the lot on which they are engaged is theirs
while they deem II essential to the progress Of
their work. Nothing can be more absurd. n
IL we're the case those engaged In erecting
houses on opposite lots in the same avenue
could unquestionably close II to the public and
TO commerce.
II Is full time this indiscriminate and unlaw-
full interference with the roadways were put
an end to. The ordinances Of the city, If
properly enforced by the police, would in
little while wholly abate il, to the pleasure
and well being Of the citizens Any
one who walks or drives through Fifth
avcnue--and we cite this thoroughfare
because IL is the general resort Of vehicles
going to and from the Park--on g,isty after
noon particularly, cannot but be convinced
that the occupation of half the pavement,
sometimes for an entire block, Is real and
evil There are acres Of vacant
Iaud which could be occupied. and as con-
veniently for those engaged In manual labor
on the adjacent edihces as Is the avenue; aud
these should be compelled to place their ma
Isriels aud mix their mortar there or elsa

politicians at this time lie, who to represent
the Fifth district in the next Cngress7 John
Morrissey, the famous banker, is the present
