secretary; but on condition that you love- honor,
and appreciate the treasure BY your side," en-.
phatically sid the duke.
81 must explain fully my visit to the ball.
My husband was ambitious to become your sec.
rotary. He bad little or NO influence and it was
therefore necessary to leave no atone unturned.
He went everywhe to see you, but always
missed you. At last, when he had again gone in
search OF you, l hesrd you were III Paris, and
would that night attend the NAKED ball
conceived the idea OF seeing you myself; the
rest yoa know, my success and my failure"
Here Louise stopped abruptly, tears choking her
further utter ,nce
"What villain have been; but We will 60
back to our home, and the years of devotion
shall give you, will, 1 hope, show you how I
have suffered, repented, and loved, exclaimed
NJ. Earnest.
Ii must have been o slight return of the old
love that Mirelle had predicted. which made
Louise give both of her hands to her husband
and bessow on HIM such forsiving smile.
HE duke soon took his departure, and also
his secretary. The uext morning Louiee left
for Paris with her son and husband. Two
months later she wrote The following letter:
DEAREST COUSIN: Your words have come
true. love my husband agaiu and with twice
the intensity l once did. We the happiest
couple in Paris. We have forgotten the one
cloud in our lives, where now there la nothing
but sunshine. LOUISE"
In reply to the letter. Mirele wrote:
"SwEET COUSIN: Your letter has made me
most happy, but not so happy rs the duke prom.
Uses to make me 1t is him love. have at
last discovered j., and he loves me. A. thought,
his secretary acted for him. I shall come to
you to be married, and ever after l shall live in
Paris. MIRELLE."
And so it came 70 pass. There WAS grand
wedding, grand reception. and then quiet,
intensely happy life for the duke aud duchess,
whose only rivals in happiness were Louise and
her husband

INDIAN IDOLS IN IOwA.-The Dubuque
(Iowa) Times says that at the base of what
is known as Capitola Bluff, seven miles from
Lansing, is an Indian idol manufactured out
of the solid rock, which has stood there no
one can tell how many centuries, hut which
must soon be removed to make room for the
coming railroad. At little distance the
idol resembles huge bear reposing on its
launches. The strange and uncouth object
is still held in the utmost veueration aad re-
spect by all Indians, and the various bands as
they pass up and down the river. invariably
stop and endeavor to propitiate the idol with
liberal presents of tobacco, strings of gaudy
colored beads, pieces of d:ied buffalo tongue,
&c.
There it sits at the base ef the bluff, mute
and solemn, looking cut with expressionless
eyes over the bosom of the mighty river that
murmers at its feet, never mourning, never
speaking. like another sphynx. The ground
whereon the throne of the idol reposes is
wanted for the road bed, and the silent, ex-
pressionless god, whose brow has been bathed
IN the morning sunlight of so many ceGtu-
ries. must fall. But short distance from
this is a smaller idol, which had evidently
been placed on the side of the bluff, but by
some couvulsion of nature was overturned
centuries ago, and pitched into the river
During high water it was completely cover
ed, but at the present stage the head and
part Of the body of the image are distinctly
visible

Greeley on Grant.

Horace Greeley is admitted to be the ablest
and most influential Radical editor in the
country. His opinions therefore on the po-
litical future of his party are just now at
tracing more than ordinary attention, and
will continue to be regarded with general
interest until the meeting of the Radical
National Convention. 1t is we'll known that
he is opposed to Grants denomination, and
has recently published an ex xhaustive article in
the GALAXY in favor of the one term principle,
which is intended of course to operate against
Grants prospects and if possible forestal
them in the Republican National Conven>
ton. Mr.. Greeley has lately been visiting
the NORTHWESTERN States, delivering agri-
cultural addresses 10 Wisconsin and Mime
sofa, and has been occasionally. ..interUie,oed in
reference to the present and future political
prospects of the party of which he is an ac>
knowledged leader. When he was in Chica~
go be had a conference with John Went>
worth of Illinois and Mr.. Grinnell of Iowa.
both prominent members of the Radical par
ty, in which he used the following severe but
sensible language regarding our Second

Presidency:

THE New Jersey Democratic State Con-
vention, which met at Trenton on the 18th
instant, nominated Hon. JOEL PARKER for
Governor on the first ballot. Mr.. Parker
served one term as Governor of his State,
from 1863 to 1865, with great honor and
distinction. The names of several OF the
most prominent and distinguished Demo
Gratis in the State who sought the nomina-
tion were before the convention, but the
preference for Mr.. PARKER was SO decided
and so generally expressed, notwithstanding
the fact that he was not candidate and had
written letter to the convention declining
to permit his name to be used, that the con-
vention overruled his wish a1d nominated
him by acclamation amidst the most un>
bounded applause. His triumphant election
does not admit Of reasonable doubt.

nature and indications of art are to be OBJ
served. Here we mention a remarkable dis
covery, which has never yet as we are aware,
been noticed in print. Near Ivanpah, CLARK
District, which lies in the southwestern por-
tion of this State, close to the line of Cali
fornia, about forty miles from the Colorado
river, and two hundred and fifty miles from
Los Angeles, can be seen this wonderful curl
osity. On the eastern slope of Clark noun
tain. near its summit. there is a perpendicu-
lar cliff two hundred and fifty feet high. At
about one hundred feet from the base of the
cliff. on its front. are engraved the charac-
ters /. L. d. The cross and letters are of
immense size, being fully sixty feet in height,
and cut into the cliff two and a half feet
deep. SO that they can be plainly seen at a
distance of FIVE miles. By whom this strange
workmanship was done is unknown. The
fact. however, that the letters are the Roman
characters, and are preceded by the figure
of a cross, would make it appear that it was
done by the Jesuit missionaries, who are
known TO have been in this region many
years ago. The Indians know nothing of its
authors, nor have they any traditions con-
cerning its origin"
