Beautiful Smile.

An Alpine hunter, ascending Mont
Blanc in passing over the Mer de Glace,
lost his hold and slipped into ope of those
frightful crevasses by which the sea Of ice
is cleft to its foundations. By catching
himself in his swift descent against the
points of rocks and projecting spurs of ice
he broke his fall, SO that he reached the
bottom alive, bit oily to fase death in a
more terrible form. On either hand the
icy walls rose Up to heaven, above which
he saw only strip Of blue sky: At his
feet trickled little stream formed from
the slowly melting glncier. There was
but one possible ehabcs Of escape-.o
follow this rivulet, HhiHh led to soihe un-
known creviee or passage. In silence and
terror he picked his way, down the noun
tain side, till his father advance was
stopped by giant cliff that rose up before
him, while the river rolled darklt below:
He heard the roaring of the waters which
seemed to wait for him. What should
he do ? Death was beside him and be-
hind hith; and he might fear, before him.
There was no time for reflection or delay.
He paused but an instant, and plunged
into the stfeaiii. One ninuts Of breath
less suspense-a sense of darkness and
GOODNESS, and yet of swift motion, as if
he were gliding through the shades be-
low. and then a light began to glimmer
family in the waters, and the next instant
he was amid the green fields and the flow
ers and the summer sunshine of the vale
of Chamouny.
So it 10 wren believers die. They
come to the bank of the river, and it is
cold and dark. Nature shrinks from the
fatal plunge. Yet one chilling moment,
aud all fear is left behind, and the Chris
tian is amid the fields Of the paradise of
God.

From the Geauga Democrat.
The Vallandigham Platform.

The unterrified Democracy Of montgomery
county-the home of Mr. Vallandigham-
held their convention to appoint delegate to
the Democratic State Convention, on Thurs
day of last week. Ominous hints had been
given out that this distinguished martyr,
whose ambition to be United States Senator
is matter of common notoriety, would avail
himself of the occasion to announce a new
departure for the Democratic party, and
hence, nobody was taken by surprise when he
| appeared with his platform, consisting of lS
formidable resolutions. In these resolutions,
he gracefully accepts the situation, recogniz-
ing the results of the war, including the three
Constitutional Amendments. Having thus
buried the dead issues of the past growing
out Of the war, he then proceeds to grapple
with the living issues of the present, by de-
manding universal suffrage and amnesty, the
payment of the national debt revenue and
civil service reform, and the acquisition OF
foreign territory, except San Domingo, as a
Job" but opposing further grants Of the pub
lie lands To corporations for railroads or other
purposes, and condemnng the Grant Admin
istration and Congress for their alleged uncon-
stitutional and tyrannical acts, and especially
the "BayOnep and "Ku,Klux" bills. On the
whole, it is the best and most sensible Demo
cratic platform we have ever seen, and, COM
ing from such source, is a marvel of states
manship; but the prospect of its adoption by
the party of the State, is very slight indeed
Whenever the Democratic party shall become
sensible, patriotic, polite or consistent, We
apprehend that the order of the moral uni
verse will be seriously disarranged. Mr.. Val
landigham calls his platform not depart
ure," but n return" This sounds very well
but he will find that the Democracy of Ohio
will continue to pursue "the even tenor o
their way" until October next, when they will
take a departure" up Salt River, where they
will soon be joined by their friends from al
the other States. and from which there will b,
no "re,urn"

ments for all France at the dictation of
its despotio mob, IS now happily shatter-
ed, since an army of the constituted au-
thority of The nation has subdned that

natural conclusion TO the siege long
looked for, and none the less welcome
that it was deferred beyond reasonable
time. We rejoice as heartily at the re-
suit as we did at the close of the former
siege, because Right triumphs now as
then, aud because it puts an emil to an
unnatural and unequal struggle by the
defeat Of the side clearly in the wrong.
The Versailles army by these successes
is firmly established in the southern half
OF the city, and within shelling distance
OF the rest Of Paris but il is by no
means certain that the insurgents are
conquered. II Paris were not led by
madmen the struggle would he over. A
competent military commander would at
once conclude that further resistance was
vain, and made the bcst possible terms.
Bat the Commune has built formidable
barricades in the principal streets, and
behind these Paris vaunts its determine
ton to fight. The resolves were formed
however, under different circumstances
than those now surrounding the insur
gents and instead Of making, as they
certainly might, a strong hut ineffective
defense at the barricades, the probabili
ties are that they will seek safely in dis

A House DIVIDED AGAINST ITsELF.--Val-
landighams move is an adroi. one, but 1t has
its weak points, 1t is in conflict with the
feelings, wishes and hopes OF the leading
Democrats OF at least 10 Of the States-these
10 States having onethird of the electoral
vote. 1t Is equally in conflict with the life.

In majority of the other States. Neverthe-
less, It is possible that this platform will be
substantially affirmed in the next National
Convention, 1t will, however, still lack the
most important element Of success, aud that
is the ability to satisfy the American people
that, once In power. the Democratic party
would honestly and faithfully carry out the
programme. To be successful, the party must

WAsHINeToN, May 24.-Vice President Col.

with severe headache, which prevented his
sleeping, as well as upon the previous night.
His circulation is good and his symptoms
favorable, but his physicians insist upon abso-
lutte quiet Mrs. Colfax is not here.
In the afternoon, President Grant, accom-
panied by Secretay Boutwell,, called at the
room of Vice President Colfax to inquire as
to his health. Mr.. Colfax was too weak to
hold any conversation, and they therefore only
remained few minutes. His physician said
in reply to an inquiry, tonight, that his pa

but the prospect was that he would recover,
as his symptoms were favorable.
Tradition has it, says the Cleveland Herald,
that the Italian who invented an ingenious

was himself squeezed out of the world by his
own invention that the originator of the
guillotine had the felicity of loosng his head
by his own instrument and that the designer
of the bowie knife yielded up his life on the
point of blade fashioned after his own design.
In like manner Baber, the ingenious inventor
or introducer of the plan for the prevention OF

to his own device. The Franklin county De-
mocracy, proceeding under the provisions OF
