anything human wore. 1t was

ever image or stone thought, it was
thinking 1t was looking at the

at nothing nothing but distance
and vacancy, 1t was looking over

was gazing out over the ocean Of
Time lover lines Of century's
waves which, further and further
receding, closed nearer and nearer
together, and blended at last into
one unbroken tide, away toward
tho horizon of remote antiquity.
1t was thinking OF wars of departed
ages; of the empires it had seen
created and destroyed; of the ma.

whose progress il had watched,
whose annihilation it had noted;
OF the joy and sorrow, the life and
death, the grandeur and decay, of
five thousand slow revolving years,

The Sphynx is grand in its lcne-

the deeds of all ages, which reveals

spring OF partisan malice, that
they hardly needed refutation, but
Mr.. Beecher has stated the true
view of the case 80 aptly, that we
quote a few words:
"There has never, in any admin.

much executive efficiency as that
shown by the present one, in set,
thing reconstruction, in bringing
the debauchod revenue system
back to health and in putting the
national debt into sound shape.
Yet this, too, has been silently and
oAsttully done. Thus, in sue
cession, war, peace, reconstruction,
financial reform, have followed
each other. We hear no buzz. We
receive the accomplished results
clean and FURNISHED, without be
ing annoyed by the process of the

When q man who has for eight
years 50 served the country takes
the hot and unwholcsome months
of summer to rest, it is shame
that citizens should need to be told
that their great Alladin needs va.

1t would be better for them, and
better for the country, if our pub
lie men had more rest. They do
not live out their days.
We have always admired that
quiet independence of Gen. Grant,
which led him to do what he
thought was right without asking
leave. He has taken his summer

UPON THE PLAINS !

Solomon city, in the same coun-
ty near the eastern line, is an ac-
tive little town Of three years
growth. 1t boasts Of large salt
mandatory, controlled by com
pany from the New England states.
Abilene, the county seat of Dick
inson county, is twenty >fonr miles
west of junction city. The val.
ley is quite wide, better known as
the Smoky valley. The land is
very fertile and beautiful to behold
Grass is abundant. The most ex
tensive cattle dealing firms in the
United States are stationed here,
as the point of concentration aud
shipment to the east, for Mexican
and Texas cattle.
This county is we'll watered, the
Smoky Hill river running from
West TO East, almost dividing the
county in it's centre. Good wells
every where obtainable. The val
ley or bottom lands upon the nu>
merous streams, vary from one
fourth to one and FIVE miles in
width, some very level, and others
undulating, and wherever cultiva
ted, have given most abundant
yields of the cereals, vegetables
and fruits. Timber at places, quite
abundant.
In the north. eastern portion OF
the county, large deposits of the
purest gypsum exist, and near the
confluence of the Smoky Hill and
Solomon rivers, abundance OF salt
is found.
Junction City, the county seat of
Davis County, is situated at the
junction of the smoky Hill and Re-
publican rivers, at the western side
of Fort Riley Reservation, about
130 miles from tho Missouri.
The valley is rich and exten.

whether it has ever been printed.

Revolutionary War.

try and have read all of it that l
could ever lay my hands on, and

this specimen before. l have also
asked a number of persons about
here who take an interest in such
things, if they knew its origin, but
none ofthom recognized it. | re-
member hoaring my mother sing
or recite it i can't say which
now, a number of years ago. but
l never heard her say anything
about its origin.
If it has not heretofore been
printed, if you think it worthy you
would please me very much by
giving it place in your paper.

THE JUDGES.

The Hon. Erastus c. Benedict having de-
clined the Republican nomination for Justice
of the Supreme Court, the Republican Judi
ciary Convention have adopted the Hon.
THOMAS w. CLERKE as their candidate in his
stead. Mr.. Clerke was first elected sixteen
years ago on a Democratic nomination, and
was reelected eight years ago by the votes Of
all parties. He is now the candidate of all
parties except the Tammany, and is regarded
by everyone as an able, worthy, sternly upright
Judge. lie is pledged to know no party in his
Judicial action, and that pledge he will faith
fully keep. We believe that he will run ahead Of
all parties, and we trust will be elected. This
will retain Judge Brady on the bench of the
Common Pleas, where he has served long and
acceptably.
We thank Mr.. Benedict for pursuing the
course that he has seen fit to take. Had he
stood, many Republicans would have voted
for Judge Clerke any how, and some of them
would have heedlessly voted ballots headed by
the wrong candidates for Judges of Appeals.
Vote for CLERKE, friends of an honest indie
pendent judiciary but take care that you vote
also on the same ballot for LEWIS b. WooD-
RUFF and CHARLES MASON as Judges of the
Court of Appeals If it is right to continue in
office one good judge, why not two Others at
least as gOOdl

The World argues that it must have about
four times as many subscribers as all the other
city papers combined, because it is the only
Democratic journal in NewYOrk, and the
Democratic vote last year was 1OS,3l6, against
a Republican vote of 47,798. The gorgeous
mendacty of the former statement we leave
to be combatted by the other journals OF the
party-The Herald (Which is read by more
Democrats than The World, The Star, The
Democrat, The Express, and so on. But even
if it were true, The World does not take into
consideration two important facts: 1. An enor-
nous proportion of the Democrats of this city
do MT know how to read; and, g The rest of them
do MT repeat" their newspaper subscriptions as
they repeat their votes. Nobody but the
Arithmetic Man could have invented this Gu
rious system of calculation. We fear that his
removal from the editorial department to the
counting-room will not be for the advantage
of the paper He could amuse himself over
election tables without hurting anybody, and
to the great enlivenment of the fourth page !;
but his style is not adapted for bookkeeping.
