Child Misiresscs.

"Child mistresses" are the latest hor-
rible development in Paris. 1t is fash
ionable now to keep mistrcsses such as
delighted the infamous Louis &V., at
the Paris Cerfs. For instance, little
Gregorine, who, two years ago, played
the violin at the Cafe dc France, and
was so generally admired for her beau
ty, is now kept by the old Vicomte de
Bay, at house in the Rue d Arcajou.
The poor little creature could not be
more than ten years of aye when she
played at the above named cafe.
Other instances of the same de-
scription are mentioned. At the last
meeting of the editors of the Paris oppO-
sition papers the subject was broached, 4,
and several journalists were in favor of
publishing the names of the scoundrels
guilty of such infamies. But the major
ity thought that the Government would
shield them, because somo are mem
bers Of the Corps Legislatif, and that
the corrupt tribunals would condemn
every journal bold enough TO denounce
these denominations.

Wheat from lndin.

The effect of high prices in revealing
new sources of supply for any article OF
prime necessity has received new il
iustration. England has imported
wheat in large quantities frcm Egypt,
to made up for deficient receipts from
the United States. Nevertheless, ac-
cording to the London Spectator, fail
ure of the harvest in both those cOun-
tries and Hungary besides, would
not starve England, or raise
prices to any uncomfortable tig-
ure, for at seventy shillings
per quarter India could supply the
whole demand without much feeling
the loss. 1t is calculated that there are
often 100000 quarters of fine wheat
rotting in,the Pupjaub alone for want of
demand, utterly useless except to feed
hogs, which the prejudices of the peo-
pie forbid them to breed. II science
ever succeeds in banishing the weevil
from wheat ships and preserving NUT
ton for six months, the English people
may yet be fed to the throat on flesh
and flour at less than the cost of their
present insufficient food.

II i respectfully suggested that, as
far as may be practicable aud conve-
meat, the Delegates be chOSed by Town
ship or County Conventions, on
SATURDAY, JULY 4th, 1868.
1t is also recommended that
the Delegates from the First and Sec
ond Congressional Districts in attend
ance upon the State Convention nomi-
nate Congressional candidate and
Presidential elector for each of their
respective Districts.
The possibility that, owing to their
remOteHess, some of the counties of the
Third Congressional District may not
be fully represented, has induced the
Committee to leave the selection of the
time and place for making their Con-
gressional and Electoral nominations
entirely to the discretion of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative voters of that
District.
Fellow Democrats and Conservatives.
Your political brethren in all parts OF
the country where elections have been
held within the last twelve months,
have achieved magnificent victories.
The great reaction which is to redeem
the nation from tyranny and misrule
he's fairly set in. In other States, its
progress is irresistible. Let us, too,
press forward III the work OF
redemption. Not one moment
should be lost-no eXertiOn spared.
County, Township and School District
examinations should at once be COM
pleted, and every man who can be
moved to espsuse the right, should be ap-
preached, informed and melted te ac-
ton. TIE work is in your hands. II
YOU are true To yourselves, your state
aud your country, yon cannot fall'
Success will crown your efforts, and the
blessings of good Government, so long
unknown in West Virginia, will once
more bring to heI people peace, prosper
ity and happiness. -

.pCha.e,. >. Champion.

The New York UIord continues to
write up CHASE with all it's might. 1t
attempts to prove that he and PENDLE-
TON stand very close to each other.
Here are a few consecutive sentences
from one of its articles:
Not only is the final harmony of the
party fOteshadowed In the general will
lingness to accept the Judgment of the
Convention, but substantial unity is
diseernable even in the diversity of the
conflicting rivalships. The TIVE candi-
dates whose names are most keenly can
vassed-we of course mean Mr.. Pendle-
ton and Chief Justice Chase-might
seem, on superficial glance to be sepa.
rated by the whole diameter of the po-
litical circle; but on q nearer view it
will be seen that their supporters are
impelled by common feeling and en-
tertain O common estimate of the po-
litieal situation. In the first place,
they are both statesmen, and their pre-
eminence in the preliminary canvass in
dicates general feeling in the party
that craftsmanship, and not military
qualifications, is what is most needed
at the head of the Government during
the ensuing four years. In tho next
place, there are statesmen of views so
positive and decided as to indicate that
no section of the Democratic party
weud be content with President who
has "no policy of his own" mere serv
lie echo of the sentiment of other men.
1t is assumed that the contest is mar
rowed down to CHASE and PENDLETON
that neither has any competitor wOr-
thy of mention except the other. If
that be so, great and silent revolution
must have taken place in the Democ-
racy of the Eastern States. They must
have been converted to the National
Bank system, to the Radical Reconstruc-
tion system, and to Negro Suffrage.
CHASE can only be nominated on the as
sumption that his financial system is
endorsed by the Convention, and that
reconstruction and permanent negro
suffrage arc accepted in the same
way as the abolition of slavery is ac-
cepted-as necessities. AS far as these
things are concerned tEe Democratic
party, we are told, must stand on
what the lawyers call the Uti possidetis.
But then what difference would there
be between the two parties The only
perceptible difference that we can dis
cover would be the subsequent govern
ment of the country either according
to the will of the people or military
necessity. In other words, the conflict
would resolve itself into one, between
the Judiciary on the one hand and Con-
gress and the army on the other. The
civil or the military power would pre-
vail according as the Democratic or the
Radical party prevailed.

WHEREAS, We, as citizens of the sew
eral States, irrespective of our political
affiliation, believe that the learning,
experience, ability and purity of Chief
Justice Chase are an assurance OF an
administration conformable to the Con-
stitution if he should be chosen Presi-
dent, and that we believe if presented
to the people of our countrJ for their
suffrage, they wsuld cordially unite
upon him as one in whom they might
hope for a happy reconciliation of the
people of all the States under the just
aud benign provisions Of our Federal
Constitution. Therefore,
Resolred, That we desire Chief Justice
Chase fer the next President of the
Union, as the man best entitled to our
confidence and support, and that a COM

promote his nomination by the Demo

Thrilling Episode in the Life lof n
Eoung d1iehizan-der-

A young man named George White,
living in Lincoln, Mason county, Mich,
was married secretly TO q Miss jennie
Kinney, of Luddington, his father being
opposed to the match. 1t shortly got
out, and his associates began to tease
him, while his father made some threats,
all of which conspired to set the young
fellow in a frenzy, in which state he
rushed into the saw-mill at Luddington
and threw himself on the carriage be-
fore the large circular saw, and was only
saved by the prompt action of the man
attending the saw. He made another
attempt, but failing in this, he went to
the lake and plunged in. He was taken
out Of the like and delivered up to his
father, who took the young man home,
and has since had sense enough to send
for the young wife and tell the twain to
live together and behave themselves.

Rxperiment i'm Feeding Cows.

In the correspondence of the Ohio
Farmer occurs the following: 81 have
had twenty-five cows to milk, and found
timothy and wild grass the best. To
feed in winter, use shorts, ground oats,
and corn-meal; shorts make more milk
than clear meal; oats ground do better
than either; but corn-meal with shorts
makes richer milk, but no more Of it. l
have fed potatoes largely; they do tol,
erably well, but milk day or two old

carrots would not dc for me to make
butter from the milk; but of all the
roots ever tried, sugar beet is the best.

milk, and tried them. i had twelve

Forney says that "the flood-gates of
calumny are opened upon General
Grant"
General Grants position is above the
reach of calumny. Calumny levGlled
at him would recoil upon the calumnia-
tor. No Democratic journal, however
vigorously opposing General Grants
election, will be so foolish or so unjust
as to calumniate him. The calumnies
which Republican journals hsaped upon
General Mcclellan four years ago made
every Democrat sensible of the iniqui-
ty of such disgracefu! political warfare.
But while General Grant is safe
against all calumny at Democratic
hands, as we gladly believe he is also
irvulnerable to it, his friends and sup
porters may be entirely assured that the
facts of his life and of his career as n
General will be spread faithfully before
the American people. He will be strip
ped quite clean, and shown to them as
exactly the man and the soldier that
he is. Nothing Fictitious, false, or
illusory will be left upon him-not a
shred. For example, it is no calum-
ny to state that in the campaign from
the Rapidan to the James he command
ed 100000 men, and used up III 900 of
them in using up 1900 of Lees 10, 600
men. 1t is no calumny to state that tho
generalship which trades off the lives OF
six soldiers against one Is not the sort
of geueralship which spares human suf-
fering and wins its victories by brains.

AGirI Killed by n Toy Came on.

The Toledo Canada West) Telegraph
describes melancholy accident, which
occurred in that city, by which daugh-
ter of Mr.. Indis, tea years of age, lost
her life. A group of boys were engaged
at the front dsOr of Mr.. lnnis' house, in
firing off a miniature cannon, and they
had previously warned all the young
sters about not to come near, as there
might be danger. The month of the
cannon was pointed near Mr.. lnnis'
door, so that the shot would do no
harm, even when the cannon was fired.
In the hurry and hustle among
the boys, the mouth of the cannon was
turned from the door, and when
fired, the bullet with which it was load
ed, struck the unfortunate girl in the
back of the neck, although she was at
the time over seventy feet distant. The
ball entered the centre of the back OF
the neck, shatteripg, we understand,
the spinal marrow, and causinga a CON-
plete paralysis of the body below the
shoulders. She was Immediately car
ried into the house, and physicians were
sent for, but relief was beyond medical
skill. The poor girl was sensible, and
in speaking of the accident, frequently
made use Of the expression, II knew
that the boys wouldn't hurt me-" She
fingered till the morning, aud died
about eight o'clock.
