The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1869-07-16

In the little "unpleasantness," re-
sulting in the announcement of the
name of Pendleton in the Democrat
ic Convention, one of his supporters,
C. W. Woolley, declared that the ex-
igencies of the times demanded that
Pendleton should be the nominee ;
that the party owed nothing to him,
but rather that he owed everything to
the party.
We think the party does owe
''Gentleman George considerable
It is uader obligations to him for be-
longing to the party that they may
have one gentleman among them.-
We simply infer this from the fact
that, during the last four or five
years, we have never heard him men
toned, except in the high-sounding
term of "the gentlemanly and afable
Geo. Fl. Pendleton, the brilliant
statesman of the West" If they owe
him nothing, why always tack so
many fulsome epithets to him, to the
exclusion of Vallandigham, Ranney,
Baber, Hurd, Thurman, ETC., etc. 2

The plan tor Worlds Fair. to be held In
this city In 1871, took such definite shape At
the meeting last night and was upasid ~
men Of such financial weight intelligence, and
business acuteness, as 10 impress al present
with the belief that II was an Achievement pos
siole 70 be done, and that II must be DONE The
ideas and suggestions thrown out were all
practical and to the point, ard The entire action
of the meeting meant business. Mr.. Metserott
pointed out that the building, modelled upon
that at Paris, need not be an expensive one.
Dr. Stansbury, who represented the United
States at the London Worlds Fair, ex.
planned how the work was blocked out to
carry that enterprise successfully through
and to what extent the same plan could be fol :.
lowed here. Other gentlemen of experience in
such matters gave their views, and altogether
much interesting data was presented, sho VIM
how such things had been done ana could be
done here. The valuable cooperation of the
Russian Government In tie enterprise, offered
by the Russian Legstion, is calculated to give
strength to the undertaking, and doubtless other
foreign legations will not be SLOW to extend
their sympathy In the same direction. Alto.
gethsr the enterprise begins to assume q very
hopeful shape.

Besides being gentleman OF unparalleled
hoeralty, Mr. Peabody is also possessed OF
Insxhsusuble faith, as his last gait, of four
hundred thousand dollars, TO the Institute In
Baltimore bearing his name, abundantly de-
monstrates. Beyond the erection of a hand
some but Dramatically sealed building on
Monument Square, we are not aware that his
former magnificent donation has ever been OF
the slightest Practical advantage TO the people
Of the city for whose benefit it was made. So
far as We can hear, the Management OF the fund
has BEEN IN tse hands OF that Historical body of
respectables whose chief aim in life Is to learn
How Not 70 Do 1t; and 80 far as useful results
are concerned, 1t might as well have been ap.
proprIaied TO building q wall around the city
II is possible, however, that the last donation
may be the means OF putting the rrst TO some
useful purpose. In that hope we are glad that
Mr.. Peabody has not tightened his purse
strings, and congratulate our sister city ac-
cerdIngly.

cashmere GnntS.

The acclimationin this coun-
try Of the famous Cashmere or
Angora Goat is much talked of.
The pure bred animals are gen,
orally snow white, and so do
cile that one may be kept
about the house, like a dog or
cat, without inconvenience.
Their wool is of course very
valuable for textile purposes,
as is shown by the cost Of the
Cashmere shawls made from it
in Thibetand Hindoostan. Their
high price, however, is as much
due to the tineness of the hand
weaving, by which they are
made, and the peculiar bril-
liancy of the hues they are
dyed, as to the original worth
OF the material This goats
wool has been woven by rude
appliances in the East, from
immemorial times, for we read
thatrNfoses ordered cloth made
Of "goat's hair" for a veil or
covering Of the Tabernacle.

How Pat bug a Well.

IIN fT.TL I'D 80 II II .as
lage where he was well known
to dig pro bono apublieO' The
contract was made that he w'S
to be paid certain sum per
foot and warrant free supply
of water. AT it he went with
a good will, and his daily pro
gress was watched intently by
interested parties. Early and
late he worked away faithfully,
deep down in the earth, full OF
confidence in the speedy coin
pletion of his labors. He
reached the depth of about
twenty-five feet and soon ex,
pected to strike water" Early
in the morning Pat returned to
the scene of his labors and hor-
rible to tell, it had caved in
and was nearly full. He gazed
with rueful visage upon the
wreck, and thought of the ad-
ditional labor it would cost
him.
After a moments reflection
he gazed earnestly around and
saw no one stirring, then
quickly divesting himselfof his
hat and coat he carefully hung
them on the .windlass and
speedily made tracks for a
neighboring eminence that
overlooked the village. Here
hid among the underground he
quietly awaited the progress of
events. AS the morning wore
on the inhabitants began to
arouse and stir out. Several
were attracted to the well;
thinking that as Pats coat and
hat we're there he was below, Of
course, at work. Soon the alarm
was raised that the we'll had
caved IN and that Pat was in it.
A crowd collected and soon
stood Mortified at the fate of
poor Pat. A brief con sultation
was held, and soon spades and
herimplemenls were brought
to dig out the remains Of the
unfortunate man. To work
they went with a will. When
one set became wearied, with
the unusual labor dozen
ready hands grasped tho i'm.
plements Justify.
Pat quietly looked OH from
his retreat on the eminence
while the whole village stood
around the well, and watched
with breathless suspense the
work go bravely on. AS the
diggers approached the bottom
the excitement of the bystand.
ers grew intense, and they col
lected as near as safety would
admit, gazing fearfullyinto the
well. With great care and pre-.
caution the dirt was dug away
and when the bottom was at
length reached no Pat was to
be found. The crowd, before
so anxious, relaxed into q grin,
which broke forth in uproar-'
ious yells when the veritable
Pat walked up with a smiling
countenance and addressed the
crest fallen diggers, who now
stood weary and soiled with
their labors. Through the
kindly aid Of his fellow citizens,
Pat soon finished his well, and
it remains among the monu-
ments of his genius to this day.
