When the Old blacksmith Went zip

crouching in the corner of the room, he
Thought they had been drinking too
much, and began 10 Glide them But
he soon stopped, ior they rose up and
came to meet him with Wild express
sion Of joyful relief on their counten-
ances, and pointed TO the door at the
head Of the stairs. They were not able
to speak a word. s..
The old man, without iIesit;ltion,
pushed oFsen the door and entered the
room; but he came rushing back, utter
ing a cry Of borror-sueh a cry as snone
but an old man can give-shrill, tremu-
lous. They aed down. stairsrout of the
house, and into the street The neigh
bors were aroused, the story told, and in
less tian haitian hburthere was Il tumult.
The staircase in the bIacksmith's
house was soon filled with people, but
none had the courage to open the door.
The head Of The column stood upon the
platform, resisting The force from behind.
II Increased to such violence, however,
that reSlgtahoe awaited nothing. There
was an impatient rush from below, the
door was pushed open, aud i'll an instant
the terrible room was flied With visitors,
Not word was spoken they couldonly

One Of the benches WAS slightly
moved, and the lelt foot OF the corpse
rested upon the floor. The eyes were
open, wide open and staring at some,

1t is scarcely a year ago since young
man died in the town of Haddipgton.
His conduct had been so ouLrageouly
dissolute, that everybody repulsed him
with adherence. Finally, he sank
down in half-staryed condition at the
door of his uncle, an old blacksmith of
Haddington, and was kindly taken In
aud cared for, Everything was done for
him that even affection could suggest;
but he grew worse and worse, until he
went into a delirium, and uttered things
of such frightrlb import that few per-
sons could remain near him. There
were certain expressions that excited
more astonishmcnt that others-in deed,
they drew tears from those who heard
them, as weldon account of the
earnestness with which they ut
tered, as the distracted gcatieu-
lauons accompanying them. He
seemed to stare at some distant OBJ,

RADICAL HARMONY.

The Omaha Herald has collected and pub
lished the recent utterances of few promi.
nent Radicals, and extracts from leading Rad
ical papers, which displays anything but spirit
of harmony in the ranks of the "loyalists,"
and which we consider so opportune that we
republish the article:
One of the most inspiring signs of the times,
is the occasional honest utterance of some of
the leading Radicals of the country as to the
condition and prospects of the Radical party.
1t exhibits an interest among the crew, and
rottenness in the Radical ship never before
paralleled in the history of the country. We
have made u few selections for the benefit OF
those who are disposed to think every truthful
criticism upon the Radical party is copper
head le You who think there is no hereafter
read the following:
Says the Terre Haute, Indiana, Journal.
Radical:
We have been Republican as long as there
was Republican party, and we will not vote
for Grants nomination., nor for Grant if he is
nominated.
Theodore Tilton, that reverend and dear
disciple of the orthodox Radical church, thus
utters this proverb:
dicious that it ought to be no longer discussed.
Senator Carpenter, not long ago, thought it
necrssary to pronounce. at West Point. nice
little eulogy upon Grant, for none knew better
how to do IT than Carpenter. Whereupon the
New York Iri6une fires at him this ri1ed can
non shot:
\ Senator who deliberately commits a peni-
tentiary offence, might await his own pardon
before iutruding himself as moral teacher on
younger and less guilty men,
The Springfield Mass. Republican, Radical,
says:
The Republican party is marching to Big
Bethel defeat. Too many Buffers, too many
Simon Camtron's, too many Mortons and Chan
dlers. too much stealing and land grabbing
have killed it; it is dead before it goes into
battle.
Donn Piatt. Radical correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, a Radicnl newspaper,
sends this barbrd arrow home:
The Radicals steal with n grace, defraud
with blessings, and when they rise they say,
+" In the name OF God let us rob somebody"
Hon, Lyman Trumbull, Radical Senator
from Illinois, in recent speech, uttered these
ominous sentences:
The whole land is sick of Radicalism. The
people want peace and the reduction of taxes
lhty KNOW tue hu.Alux To De myths, ana
they are not willing TO continue the war six
years after the cessation of hostllitirs. We
might have peace and the Radical party has
signaiIy failed to give il to us.
The Chicago Tribune, the great Radical or
gan of the Northwest, says. editorially:
There is mo hope for the country under the
administration of Grant. 1t is the most cor
rupt. the most stold the most stupid. the most
hopelessIy joined to its idols the nation ever
saw. The people demand n change and they
,riH have it. Ii the Republicans cannot give
it TO then, the Democrats must.

FINE WogK.-We have received from the
publishers. Mcssrs A. l., Bancroft & Co, OF
San Francisco, an elegantly bound volume en-
titled Time and Eternity" poem by George
Mae Henry. Not having had time as yet, to
read the poem, we cannot speak of its merits,
but the printing. binding aud entire makeup
Of the work, which was done by Messrs Ban.
croft & Co, excels anything of the hlnd ever
done on the Pacific coast, aud we doubt il it
can be cxcelled by any OF the Eastern or
European publishers. 1t is n creditable pro-
duction aud speaks well for the enterprise of
the popular publishing house from which it
emanated

According to the observations of NJ. Treis-
sicr, of Paris, in 552 mares, the shortest period
was PSI days, and the longest 4l0, making the
extraordinary difference of l32 days, and 50
days beyond the usual term of eleven months
The cow usually brings forth in about nine
months. and the sheep in FIVE. Swine usually
farrow between the l2Oth aud 140th day. be-
ing liable to variations, Influenced apparently
by their size and by their particular breeds
The true canses which abridge or prolong more
or less the period of CESSATION in the female Of
quadrupeds, and of the incubation of birds
are unknown. In most cases, therefore, be-
tween nine and ten months may be assumed as
the usual period of the cow though with bull
calf the cow has generally been observed to
go about f,rty.one weeks, and few days less
with a female Any calf produced at an
earlier period than 200 days. must be consid
cred decidedly premature. and any period of
CESSATION exceeding 300 days must also be con-
sidered irregular, but in this latter case the
health of the produce is not affected.

THE DOME OF THE CAPITOL The dome
OF the Capitol in Washington is the most am
bilious structure in America 1t is l0S feet
higher than the Washington Monument at Bal
timore, 68 feet higher than that Of Bunker
Hill, and % feet higher than the Trinity Church
tower at New York. 1t is vast hollow sphere
of iron weighing S,000,2 pounds. How much
is that2 More than 1900 tons, or about the
weight of 10000 full grown people, or equal
to 1000 laden coal cars, which, holding four
tons each, would reach two miles and half.
Directly over your head is bronze figure of
+" America" weighing II ,9S5 pounds. The
pressure ot the iron dome upon its piers and
pillars is 13,477 pounds to the square foot. 1t
would require, to crush the supporters Of the
