For hysteria, epilepsy, melancholy &c.,, it is all but infali- bie. It is also most valuable to ladies who are experiencing the change incident to advanced years Then it is that constitutional maladies make their appearance, if lurking about the system, and give caste to remaining days. Dodd's Nervine and invigoratol greatly assists nature at this important period, maintaining the vigor and tranquility of early life, and car. rying them with ease and safety through.

The Beaver.

The beaver was the first victim. His fur
was valuable even in early days, when luxury
took the form of neatness and cleanliness.
He was easily captured, and the fertile mead
ows where he had his home we're first demand
ed for culture. When the wolves yet perhaps
outnumbered the watch dogs, and Bruins
clumsy plantigrades often stamped the March
SHOWS about corn-stacks and orchards, what
time he had walked too early from his winter
nap but yet would not turn in again, the bea-
yer even then was never seen, hardly remen-
bered The Dutch seal of New Netherlands
had beaver waddling across the shield; aud
also in all those of the English province the
female figure which forever kneels to the
changing line of kings and queens holds out a
beaver as tribute and peace-offering, as she
might offer her baby for hostage.
The first, and may be the only hostile shot
fred in the east valley of the Lower Hudson,
in Indian history, was when some graceless
red pirates of Rhinebeck hailed an opposition

dition gives no record of its residents; but
now for one hundred years, without repairs,
it still stops the unused water. The bank
that formed the dam when the beavers kept it

green with a century's sod. Wasit Todleben

ance Of her rolling up a large vote for the
Republican ticket could not be overcstimated
They had had local quarrcls in Bennington
during the last election, and the consequence
was that they gave the Republican candidate
the largest vote ever polled there. He hoped
any quarrels now in the ranks Of the party
throughout the State might result in like
manner. lie believed that upon the grand
principles of the party there could be no di-
vision in their ranks, but that the old Green
Mountain State would do her duty. Thou
sands Of voters in the country want to be on
the winning side, and watch with cagernoss
the sound of the keynote of the campaign,
which Vermont is to sound in September next.
For that reason the people Of Vermont can
not over-estimate the importance of the cleo
ton so soon to take place. aud for this reason
he hoped Grant and Colfax clubs would be
formed in every town
When Mr.. Park closed, the President pro-
posed that three hearty cheers be given for
Grant and Colfax In response to this the
Convention arose en- masse and gave three
rousing Vermont cheers, enthusiastically ex-
pressing their choice in the national campaign
this fall.
Hon G. w Willard Of Montpelier was
then loudly called for, aud gave a still further
account Of the proceedings Of the Chicago
| Convention. lie told about the pressure iol
/ the nomination of Ben Wade for Vice Presi
dent, and spoke of his qualification when h,
saw Mr. Park arise in the Convention ant
heard him say, Vermont gives her ten vote
for Mr. Colfax."
But two other States besides Indiana CAV,
/ their votes in solid phalonx for Coliax. Som'
one asked how Vermont could guess so accur
atoy from the start, aud he told them it wa.
was because she was so high up that she coulc
survey the whole field. They had voted fol
Colfax as q Christian gentleman. No dele
CATION came out Of the Convention with
cleaner record than Vermont or had NOR,
influence while in the Convention.
Speaking of the coming election, be sale
the Republican party ought to give no les
than thirty thousand majority for their Stat
ticket in the September election. There ]
no State where there is less doubt about tn
result than Vermont, and the only question j
about the majority.
At the close Of Mr.. Willard's remarks tn
resolutions were unanimously adopted
Calls were then made for Lieut. Governor
Thomas, who briefly responded. He thanke
the Convention for their courtesy. He value
the good will of loyal men more than he di
the office to which he was again nominated
Speaking Of the National election, he sal
that there was time when the election Of
President and Vice President was Of com
parutiyely slight Importance. That time
past. and now, if the nominees Of the Me-
York Convention shall be elected, the safet
Of the government will be hazarded, and th
, liberties Of the people will be jcopardized.-
In conclusion, Gen Thomos referred to III
Democratic party North and South in sever
terms, and said that, until they become r,
, generated or born again, he could not trai
with them.

The Valley Of Death.

Eighty miles northwest of the camp on the
Mohaye river, Col, is the well known and
much dreaded " Death Valley" 1t is said to
be lower than the level of the sea, and wholly
destitute of water. The valley is some fifty
miles long by thirty in breadth, and save at
two points, It is wholly encircled by noun
tains, up whose steep sides il is impossible for
any but expert climbers to ascend. 1t is de-
void of vegetation, and the shadow of bird or
wild beast never darkened its white glaring
sand. In the early days, trains Of emigrants
bound for California, passed. under the dlrec-
ton of their guides, to the south of Death
Valley, by what is now known as the "old
Mormon road"
In the year 1850, large train, with some
300 emigrants, mostly from Illinois and Mis-
souri,, came south from Salt Lake, guided by
n Mormon. When near Death Valley, dis
sent broke out in part Of the train, and
twenty-one families came to the conclusion
that the Mormon knew nothing about the
country, so they appointed one Of their num-
Der a leader, and broke of from the main par
ty. This leader determined to turn due west.
SO with the people, and wagons. and focks, he
travelled for three days, and then descended in-
to the broad valley whose treacherous mirage
promised water. They reached the center,
but only the white, garing sand, bounded by
the scorched peaks, met their gaze ON every
hand Around the valley they wandered,
aud one by one the men died, and the painting
hocks stretched themselves in death under the
hot sun. Then the children, crying for wa
ter, died at their mothers breasts, and with
swollen tongues and burning yitals' the moth

Democratlc Tactics.

Carl Shurz, in a recent speech at St. Louis,
thus described the variety of influences the
Democratic party could bring to bear on the
" greenhorn " vote;
"They are like gang of sharpers, as you
see them on the streets of New York, setting
trap for a greenhorn fresh from the country.
How can they best deceive the unsophstlcated
creature? How can they best fatter his
faneies to win his confidence, to decoy him IN
to dram shop, make him drunk and then to
rifle his pockets? That seems to be the on
ly question before the Democracy in council.
Has the greenhorn a secret itching of rascali-
ty in him? They have nice bit Of repudia-
| ton to offer him, and will introduce Pendle'
ton as a capital fellow. Has the greenhorn a
liking for blue cloth and brass buttons
They will quickly doif their Confederate gray
and dress up in Hancock's regimentals. Ii
the ereenhorn one of those proud Caucasian
who are afraid of negro competition They
will give him powerful dose OF white man

savory damnings of the Niger Does tn
greenhorn feel kindly toward the emancipate'
slave and the colored soldier2 They arr
ready to put drop of negro suffrage into tn
white mans government and get up plea

horn after all feel somewhat dstrustful anon

Correspondence from Italy.
TR1Esr. June 13.

Ihltcls JunN l1s
The troubles and trials of Italy do not APP
pear to be ended yet, if we are to believe the
accounts which reach US from all parts Of the
peninsula. The Pope, in the first place, Is in
a high state of tribulation on account Of the
civil marriage law as well as the law being
enforced in Austria which introduces public
schools all over the country, and transfers the
control over the system Of education from the
clergy to the civil authorities. The protest
which Plus TX has forwarded to the Emper-
or OF Austria through the Tapu ,yUn'iO at
Vienna will Of course be Of no avail whatever,
aud the Pope is compelled to see his spiritual
influence over Catholic country par erceL-
le1ce fade away gradually, without hope OF
ever recovering the lost ground In the

but when it does, no doubt it will be found
desirable and complete. Mr.. Clark has al
extensive acquaintance in the state, and has
a faculty of reducing things to system that
peculiarly fits him for this work. But how
can he find the time2 He is already one o
the most industrious men in the State. H'
