The Black BObhers.


The settlers ON the Black Bob lands of
johnson county have ten delegates in the
county convention, to be held on Saturday.
Every one of these delegates are dead set
against Clarke. This is not 10 he wondered
at. They know the whole history Of the
Black Bob swindle, and The fraud of Clarke,
Blunt, Irwin Il Co., in the sale Of the Black
Bob lands. They know that Clarke had the

interior workings of the Black Bob ring.
They know who are at the bottom of the steal
and who has profted nv it, Their delegate,
Mr., Slaughter, has returned from Washing

settlers, and he is fully posted and compe-

this is the reason why they elect delegates

War Topics.
From the New York Tribune.

We learn BY late advices from Europe
that Mazzini and Garibaldi, with the Dem
ocratic Associations under their control, are
active in their preparations for revolution
ary uprise in Rome. 1t is not supposed
that he present war will pass over without
furniahing them an opportunity for the devel-
opment of their long-laid schemes. The
Italian government has proclaimed its neu-
trality in the present struggle between France
and Prussia; but We cannot suppose the
Italians would Be grieved at such result of
the war ~ would give Rome to Italy, and
complete the edifce Of Italian unity. A
Paris despatch, dated yesterday, says that
the gEadml evacuation of Rome BY the
French troops hiss been decided upon. II
this be 6ue, the Roman question viii soon
assume . new shape.
Those who are at this time taking every
occasion to refer to the assistance rendered to
America by France in the Revolution, should
take the trouble to understand the facts. The
French Bourbous- elder and younger
branches of the 6mily-have shown their
friendship for this country in both of our
great wars-that of l776 and that of 1861.
Louis XVI. sent us military assistance in the
var of the Revolution, and two of the Or
leans Princes served in our army in the war
ae,inss the rebellion. But to the NapOleOnic
dvu.sty. as represented in the First and Sec
ond Empires, We cannot say We are muc him
debled. Napoleon /. sold us Louisiana for \
good round price, because he couldn't help

AROUND TIE HEARTH.

Whatever be our earthly lot,
Wherever we may roam,
Still to our hearts the brightest spot
Is round the hearth at home;
The home where we received our birth,
The hearth by which we sat,
30 other spot on all the earth,
Will ever be like that.
When winter, coming in its wrath,
Piled high the drifting snow,
Safe clustered round the cheerful hearth
We watched the freight glow
Nor brighter seemed the rudy flames
Than did our hearts, the while
4 loving mother breathcd our names,
With sweet approving smile.
When wesried with our eager chase
Through many tangled path,
How sweet the dear accustomed place,
To talk around the hearth;
And still, when by our toll and care
We feel ourselves oppressed.
Our thoughts forever cluster there,
And there alone find rest.
Bright promise of the rest above,
Sweet shelter from the storm,
i-'ti4C a4dI!C"Sl bN d iIIutt3ti - iDht,
Hearth by that love made warm;
Trough wildly roared the storm without
What rcckcd We OF the cold,
What place for any fear or doubt
Within the loving fold
And > hen some little trouble weighed
Upon the childish heart,
Til from our trimming eyes it made
The gushing ,ear-drops start
How quick before the genial glow,
We felt each sorrow cease,
And back the crystal current flow,
To flood cur hearts with peace.
And brighter with the passing wears
Seems childhood sweet employ,
Aud even sweeter still appears
Each well remembered joy.
Around the cheerful hearth at home,
Where We in childhood sat.
Nc other spot where er We roam,
Viii ever be ike that.

OUR HANDS. The human hand is so
beautifully formed, and has SO fine 4 sensi-
bility, that sensibility governs its motions
so correctly, every. effort OF the will is an
swered 50 instinctly, as if the hand itself
we're the sea. of the will its actions are so
free, so powerful and yet so delicate, that it
seems to possess quality instinct in itself,
and we use it as we draw our breath, un-
consciously. and have lost all recolections of
the feeble and i'll directed efforts of its first
exercises, by which it has been perfected
In the hand there are twenty nine bones
from the mechanism of which result
strength, mobility and elasticity. On the
length, strength, free lateral motion, and
perfect mobility of the thumb, depends the
power of the hand, its strength being equal
to that of all the fingers. Without the
feshy bail of the thumb, the power of the
fingers would avail nothing aud according
ly the large ball formed by the muscles of
the thumb is the distinguishing character
of the human hand.
