BREVlrIES.

| Wade Hampton advises hi- brother reb

cratic Convention. They cannot swallow the
new departure in the platform, but he SAYS
they will vote the ticket. 1t seems to us,
from this, that instead of the Democratic ca.

wagging the dog.

NEW TELEGRAPH LINE FROM
LEAvENWORTHT I'D CHICAGO CON.
RLETED YESGERDAN

1t Is gratifying to announce that the Chi.
cago, Rock Island x Leavenworth Railroad
have to-day completed line Of telegraph
from Chicago 10 Leavenworth, upon the
track Of their road
This telegraph will be used by the railroad
company for all needed purposes, and will
be open to the public for business by the
Western Union line
Thus another grand link binding Chicago
TO Leavenworth. has been completed before
the people knew the work was in progress.
The Chicago and Rock Island people are
mot men Of words, but men of work.
All trains on this road are run by dis
patches, the telegraph having command of
all trains, thus almost prohibiting the pos
ribility of an accident.
So the good work goes on. Leayenworth
now has faith in herself, and everybody is
now willing to help her.

A New Rendering OF An Old Text.

Spending winter as invalids at Aiken, S.
C., the Hon. Thurlow Weed and Mr.. Thos.
G. Acton whiled away one Sabbath afternoon
by attending a negro church, and were ac-
companied by Mr.. John A. Kennedy, who
was on a visit of few days to Mr.. Acton.
When they entered the primitive temple the
preacher, who was pure African, was Crap
pling with all the fervor of his race with the
old, old subject of the fall of man. Sketch
ing that day in the garden with its terrible
results, he excoriated Mr.. Adam in this
fashion:
Snow, brederen, when de Lord calls Adam
to count, did he stan up like man, con-
fess his sin and ask forgiveness? De didn't
do muffin of de sort, brederen, but he say:
Lord, de woman dat Dou gubest me CUB
me for to eat."'
Pausing moment, he replied:
"'De woman dat Dou gubbest me CUB me
for to eat"
Then again:
"'De woman dat Dot gubest me CUB for
ME for to eat"
"Dar, brederin, you see dat mean, skulk-
in Adam was a tryin' TO sneak out of it by |
frowin' all de blame on de Lord hisself.'
This new idea of an old question was too |
much for the distinguished "white trash"
who had fortunately taken seats near the
door, and they retired into the fields to in
dulge in irreverent laughter.-GaldIy.

ATCMIsON PUTTING AND BLOW.
ING:

Our neighbor, up the river, the Champion
sgiven to blowing 1t says many thing.
not fully warranted by the facts.
For instance, after it was known that the
President would not and could not 60 to
Atchison, the Champion says:
The Great Railroad Center receives and
entertains the President to-day"
II says the party includes Gov. Palmer.
1t is needless for us to add that the Presi-
dent, his family, and Gov. Palmer were not
in Atchison.
Again, in the Champions report of the
banquet, 1t says, the Sth, 9th, 10th and Ilth,
toasts were read and responded to by Hon.
Joe Medell, n. B. Judd and Mr.. Gondy.
We were present at the banquet and can
vouch for the fact, that these gentlemen did
sot respond TO any toastS.
Neither were these toas,s on the printed
programme.
The truth is, the programme was very fool
nhiy made up by some one, who did not
comprehend the fact, that among the excur-
.'onists there were some of the brightest in.
telleCts in Chicago.
Ane programme was made up principally
toasting Atchison and the hundred and ono
projected railroads, all converginp a, the
'Grest Railroad Center" The conceit and
esot'am stuck on, so plainly, that the good |
asase of Senator Pomeroy PROMPTLY SIM.

Among the scores of able men with the

SHINE. Axn RurI.ER.

The Boston Traveller reports the substance
of an alleged conversation between Senator
Sumner and General Butler, wherein, il is
represented, that the former opposed the lat
ter because ON the San Domingo and Pre-i-
Dental questionable General being for Do
mingo and Grant. General Butler then said
ths; this being the ground Of the political
difference between Mr.. Sumner and himself,
the quicker the fight came oil the better.
While the opponents Of Butler claim ma
jority of delegates already chosen against
him, lac sets up the claim to about an equal
number, with considerable number to be
chosen. And then there is the Convention

Another Girl Full OF Needles
From the Memphis Appeal.

| u 'SA 'HN -AffNai-
Last Sunday evening a young girl, who
lives on the Raleigh road, complained of a
violent pain in the head and right cheek. At
first the mother of the girl thought that
nothing serious would result, and that a visit
of doctor was not necessary. About 10
O'Clock the same night the pain in the head
and cheek began to cease. The child's ewes
closed and her pains forgotten in sleep. The
mother, who watched incessantIy at her
daughters bedside, thought that before
morning all would be we'll; but this was not
the case. The sick girl awoke before 5
O'Clock and began to cry in a most lament
able manner. Her mother inquired for the
cause of this, The daughter replied that she
had terrible pain iu her right arm; she
felt as though something was sticking her
there. From the way she suffered, it was at
last concluded to send for a doctor. The
physician came about 9 O'Clock, and ordered
some linament to be rubbed on the painful
arm. The next morning the doctor came
again, asking Mary, for this was the child's
name, to show her arm. He perceived right
below the shoulder three very small spots,
shining as steel would. Touching them he |
found them hard. The girls mother then
that these dots looked ike the |
heads of needles. The doctor could not be-
lieve that there was such a thing in Mary's
arm; however, to please the mother, he ap-
piled 4 small pair of pinchers to one of the
spots. Now, imagine the surprise of those
present when he pulled out of the flesh three
needles, which formed the three spots upon
he arm. But this is not the end. The
physician continued his visits three more
uoFninRs. extracting each morning two
more needles. After this Mary's pains pas
I'd away, and now abe Is - well - any Of Us.

Three zallants sat up in an Office fair,
In an Office fair, the sun went down,
Each costly smoking and lounging there,
And watching the bellies as they stepped down
town,
For men must smoke and women look fine,
y Though taxes are heavy and stocks decline,
And the grocers' bills be running.
Three wives sat up till the midnight hour,
And longed, and watched, and hoped in vain;
But the husbands snug in their office bower,
Were smoking duh care from their weary brain
For men will smoke though women repine %
Though health, and wealth and vigor decline
And sickness and duns be on-coming.
Three corpses were buried from sight one day
By palsy, consumption, and fits cut down,
And none but the doctor had ever dared say
That, ''sure a great guns they were smoked
out Of town.
For men will smoke, though death will come
To desolsie fortune, and Office, and home
And grocers and wives be moaning.

should have chronicled some time .vo
an excursion on the Denver and Rio Grande
narrow gauge railway. We went out about
fifteen miles-as far as the rails were then
laid. 1t was a charming day. We had
pleasant company of citizens and tourists, and
all went "merry a q marriage bell" in the
old days, when marriages we're of some &C.
count. On this railway you are struck at
once with the reduced proportions OF every
thing-frOm the locomotive, which seems
like small variety of the ''iron horse'-a
fiery little mustang-to the windows and
lamps in the car. The cans themselves are
bright, pretty, diminutive affairs, cosy, and
comfortable. 1t seems like playing at rail-
reading, especially as their is marvelously
little noise or motion. Never have known
a train glide along 90 smoothly and quietly.
The little engine 'buckled right down to her
work, like Chiquita, and made no ado about
il, for several miles, when, grieve to say,
abe suddenly baked, and bad to be switch
ed" We took another horse and went on
merrily, to the end of the road. Her eve all
alighted' and watched the men laying rails
and driving spikes. The remorseleas officers
Of the road insisted on your corresDondent
paying her way by driving spike. 1t was |
: cruel tax on my muscular Christianity"
The newspaper report said that ''drove the
pike home triumphantly." But 1 really
thought it wouldn't go home till morning.
This narrow gauge road, when finished to
FL Paso, will be wonderful route-for
pleasure Is we'll as commerce-as it will be
almost unrivaled for variety and grandeur of
cenery. The mountain views, the pictures
# river, and park, and plain, between Dem
'er and Colombo City. are especially mag
lifcent.

TINE REPUBLICAN, COUNTY CON
MITTEE.

The Republican County Committee meets
to-day at O'Clock ?. IN. at Woolfs Hall.
Tne only important question before them
will be the apportionment of the number Of
delegates 10 each district.
There are now only seven districts in the
county, whereas formerly there were nine.
We would advise convention Of fifty or
more delegates.
A large representation always insures
greater fairnes in the action Of any delibera-
tive body.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The Secretary
of the Republican Congressional Committee
who is attending the Virginia Republican
Convention, writes that the cortending inter-
esb between the different parties in that
State have coalesced and the division healed.
1t is believed in army circles here that the
sentence of the court-martial in the case Of
defaulting Paym,yster Hodge will be light,
but it IL seated that the President and Secre-
tary Of War are determined to make an ex-
ample Of Hodge, in order to prevent future
defalcations. Should the sentence of the
Court not be severe enough, it will hardly
be approved at headquarters.

The Banquet.

| Altogether, the banquet last night was a
hAt. affair, albeit, the supper was gotten up
In elegant style, and relished by the e1cur-
sionists with avidity; If the people of this
city had been offered an opportunity to par
hc'Pate In the feast, there would have been
such an ovation rendered to Chicago az
would have made the welkia ring. But the
interest that Is usually manifested on such
occasions here was not present on last even
ing. The spirit OF unity that generally per-
vades this community during such an event
was not noticed last night. The council
learned yesterday, long before the sun had
gone down, that il had made an outrageous
mistake: 1t had originally mapped out a
plan OF Its own. II had put the price of
tickets up to hve dollars, and then it had
made itself dictator by saying who should
De present and who should not. 1t backed
square'y down from this programme by re-
ducing the price OF admission One-half, and
then going out upon the streets and urging
people to buy tickets. The people were not
80 ready to forget an insult as our wise coun-
cii supposed. They refused, large number |
OF them, to be gulled by any such syco-
Phancy. They were as ready to give Chi
cago "a warm greeting as Chicago had any
right to anticipate, but they did not propose |
that the city council should shuttle, cut, deal |
and then play lone hand besides. There |
were men upon Commercial street, yester-
day, who were monied men, capitalists, who
DID not believe that money made men; they
realized the fact that there are men in this
city who labored from morning till night for
their daily bread, who are quite as good as

siam Authorities,

According totne last report of the Rus
sian Minister Of the Interior, published by
the Journal de 81. Rstersbourg, the cholera
has spread in new directions. 1t has ap-
peared north of Archangel, and in the south
Of the district of Bomny, chiefly at Kew and
Nicolalew. In several parts of the Empire
the cholera is decreasing. In the district of
kostrom it is more violent than ever. 1t
has almost entirely disappeared in the town
Of Mini, but in the northwest, particularly
in the province of Virisock, it is progressing
at an alarming rate.
In the Cholera hospital of St. Petersburg
there were, from the DIST TO the 18th of Aug
ust, 254 cases under treatment, of whom los
were new corners; $50 were cured and 81
died. There remained l57 under treatment
on August 2sth. In Moscow 4SS patients
were in the hospital from the 18th to the
10Th of August; Of these, within that period,
S53 were new cases, 2SS were cured, and l76
died. Since the appearance of the cholera
in August %, 1870, till August %, 1871. |
there has been !, 800 cases in St. Petersburg:
of these 4, Ills were cured, and 3,023 died.
