ASsone Bowl Full of Gold.

There has been one emotion in Paris
during the last few days, created by the
sudden temperance Of the Vicomted -s--
one of the quondam fayorites, who had
left the city in the greatest condemnation
and disgrace some seven years ago, and
who returns bronzed and hardened, both
in mind and person, to resume the place
among his friends, which not they, but he,
declared he had forfeited by his OWE i'm
prudence and folly.
BY the kindness of q relative he was
enabled to steam away to New Grenada,
where he had been able to obtain a situa.
ton as clerk to the engineer just then
employed in the construction of a line Of
railway through the country. In this po-
sition he fulfilled his small duties with the
utmost diligence for more than three
years, and at the end Of that time, the
railway being completed. he was ordered
to another duty in different part of the
country.
The way was over the steepcst noun
tains. He had already got through the
greater part of his journey, when one day
overcome by the heat, he lay himself down
by the side ola running stream, which re-
freshed him both by sight and sound, and
fell to musing on the hard fate which had
torn him from his relatives and friends tC
wander in foreign lands, when his atten-
tivu was directed to circumstance which
was taking place Immediately beneath his
eye, and which had escaped him while
gazing on the heavens
The phenomenon was this: Close to
where his head was lying amid the grass
and flowers the running water formed an
eddy, which, after turning in tiny Will
pool, proceeded to fall into narrow aper-
ature, whence on locking he beheld no is
sue His curiosity was aroused, and he
raised himself up to gaze into the hollow
the sides of which he found to consist of
two blocks of stone, so worn down and pol
ished by the continued rush Of the current
that he could see to the very bottom.
The sight he there beheld made him
stagger and fall back. In that single hol.
low had filtered for centuries the gold sand
carried by the current from the bed ofthe
river some miles higher up, where gold
washing had been carried on for many gen
erations There lay before him one gilt
teriug pile of the precious ore, cleaning g
at the bottom of the limped water, and
demanding only strong hand and reso
lutte WILL both of which he possessed, tc
draw it to the surface.
Needless to say he retraced his steps tC
the place whence he had departed, ant
soon returned, bringing back men and ma
chlnery, as he says, when telling the won
drous tale, "You may believe me if yol
choose but in less than three weeks hat
become the richest man in the whole re
public" What bears out the assertion i
the purchase he has Just made Of one o
the mansions at the Barriere de l'Etoile
and the splendid style in which he ha
mounted his establishment

WATERsPoUT ON THE PLAINS THREE
MEN DROwNED.-We are informed by a
gentleman who came in from the West
last Saturday. that terrible water
spout" occurred in one of the canons south
of cottonwood station one day last week
by which three men and number of
horses were drowned. A Mr.. Erickson
had large force Of men and teams at
work in the canon, cutting and hauling
wood. The flood of water came upon
them so unexpectedly, and with such tre-
mendous volume and rapidity, that they
had not time to escape, but were over
whelmed by it, and three of the men and
several of the teams drowned
The canon was swept almost entirely free
of the tim Der, and the old elm tree which
had been landmark for years to the
travellers on the PLANES vas uprooted and
swept down into the Platte river.
So terrible and Obstructive "watcr
spout visitation has not occurred on our
Plains for number of years.

- Hon. John A Griswold, the Re
publican candidate for Governor of New
York, thus declares the true issue now
before the country:
''The war has ceased but those who
opposed us upon the field then, are now
:iyiug in another arena to achieve by ar
tiice what they failed to secure by years
of war 1t is true We are no longer fight
ing rebels in the field; but it is none the
less true that no period in the history of
Our country has heen more momentous
than is the present. We are not engaged
in raising troops, but thequestion beforeus
is whether the fruits of victory won by
thousands whom we had sent to the war,
and who have gone down to their graves,
are to be lost now; or whether loyal peo-
pie will see to it that they are made secure
for the future.

Violent HailstOrm---Damage to the
CrODS.
WAUKEGAN July 81 1868

At half past one o'clock this afternoon
this section was visited bya violent storm
of rain, hail and wind, accompanied by
heavy thunder and tightening. Shortly
after the rain began, a storm of hail
stones set in lasting for about five min
utes. The hailstones were OF differ
ent sizes, the largest ever seen here
some of them weighing an ounce.
They partook of green shapes; many
were quite round and others oval, like a
cove's egg. The larger stones were in
varibly Shaped like the star-fsh, and very
beautiful. Each and every hailstone was
marked by round, milk-white spot, EN-
bedeed in its centre. The noise made by
the descent of the hail upon the house
tops was not unlike that which would be
made by carpenters when engaged in
shingling. Damage has been done to
corn, tomatoes, cabbage &C.. in the gar
dens in town and the country, ard, no
doubt, harvesting operations will be
seriously impeded, but the, rain will be OF
incalculable benift to the potato, crop.
The earth was very dry, and much rain
will be needed to wet it to any consider
able depth At the present time OF
writing Is o'clock p. m.,) the ram Is
still falling.

THE P0TAT0 RoT CONVENTION

The PoTATo RoT CoNvENTIoN.-We
remember when boy-a good many
years ago-that one winter the potato rot
prevailed extensively at the East. In
the cellar of the old farm house at home,
was a bin containing several hundred
bushels, and our evenings were spent IN
sorting them over. 1t was disgusting
business. They were filthy to touch,
offensive to smell-a black. rotten worth
less mass, with few sound ones left,
which had to be cYeanscd ttom the dirt
and disease of their fellows, before they
are fit for use.
We had nearly forgotten this boyish
experience, until reminded of it by read
ing the list of delegates to the New York
National Democratic Convention. That
was rotten potato Convention. It's per-
sonel was largely made up of Confeder-
ate Generals, butchers like Forest, origi-
nal secessionests like Wade Hampton,
balatant traitors like. Valandingham, and
more respectable class composed of
keepers of Southern prisoners, where
Union soldiers were merclfully shot or
mercilessly starved, lot of mild copper
heads like Sat Clark, Henry Clay Dean
and Brick Pomeroy. 1t was an oderous
mass. There were good men there. No
doubt of it but not like the good pota-
toes we found in the bin they need wip-
ing and washing to cleanse them from
the virus of their filthy fellowship. 1t
was a potato rot Convention, but No
vember will show that the disease is not
catching among the people. II fsescot,
