The Presidency.

The Hendricks men seem 20 have made a
rather injudiciOus move IL putting their pony
on The track at this early day. They have given
the alarm 20 the hackers Of opposing demo-
cratic candidates, and especially to the Pendle.
ton men, who profess to have some grievance.
OF the last campaign to svenge. They accuse
Hendricks of treacheTv in 1S6S-with haviny
IargaIred, first with Hancock next with Til
den. and, lastly, with Pendleton. and with be-
tTaying both Hancock and Pendleton to enable
the 1Ilden- Belmont interest to effect the nor,-
ination OF Seymour. The authors of these ALE
cations declare that this service is to be re.
HaIdcd by the Tildens and Belmonts in IS,, al
ihe expense OF Hoffman. Tammany, it is As
serted, will be allowed TO play with Hoffman a.
the western democrats were allowed to plav
with PendletOn, and with the same result. At
the critical moment break will occur. and
dilden x co. expect then to be able to lay Hoff-
man upon the shelf, and nominate Hendricks.
Ohio democrats protest that by way Of sveng-
ing PendletOn's former defeat, the game in
favor of Hendricks shall not succeed.
Aside from this feud between the Indiana and
Ohio politicians, Mr. Hendricks is probably the
strongest and most available candidate the
democrats could put in the field, but the
quarrel has assumed such proportions that very
likely II will result in a kilkenny-cat slau yhtsr
O. both Hendricks and Pendletop
The zeal for Hendricks amongst the Indiana
politicians is good deal intensified lust now by
ihe fact that his nomination for the Presidency

The correspondent OF the World who discov.
cred the ineNhaustible mine Of precious stones
OF every character in the Mount Gents tunnel a
couple OF years ago, Is at it again. This time in
an undetnable and almost inaccessible valley
along the vague and shadowy boundary sepa-
rating Utah and Arizona. where he ha. found
the remnant of lost race, evidently of Egyp-
tan origin.
Between naturally vivid imagination, an
arPTeciatiye study Of some OF Dore's sketches of
internal scenery, four weeks soaking of his
brain in bad whisky, and hearty supper of
hasheesh, the writer has gotten up a rather
wonderful story; but tie Plot is too thin to
attract serious attention even from greenhorn.
The adventurous uiuer conveniently intro
duced as the first visitor to the weird region i.
an OLD acquaintance, hut of such bad remit
u at hts usefulness a narrator was IMPAIRED

an INFANTS PRAYER.

In o little towa in California lived a
young and thriving merchant, with his
oife and three children. The merchan.
was worldly man, but his wife had been
taught by good mother, in her child
hood. to let no day pass without falling
os hes knees and praying to God.
TSo of hes little children we're broth
ers, and tho oldcss of them had learned
to say his evening prayers knoeliug by
his mothes's side. But the youngest
was able to lisp only u fow words, and
his mothes had never yet tried to teach
him any prayer.
Yet he would often come with his
brother, dressed in his snow white night
dress, kneel down sith him before his
mother, put his little hands before his
face, and then presently look up to his
mothet, as if wondering why sho did not
also tell him how to pray.
One evening, they both knelt down
and Chavlis repeated his prayer
as usual. When ho was done. Allie
looked up to his mother and lispod
Mamma, ME pay too"
Then he put his hands over his eyes,
and said only these two words:
"God-AIlie."
How simple aud how beautiful was
hat The great God in heaven, and
title Allie kneeliDg and lisping before
his mothers lap. Was not that prayer
heard in heaven before many a vain and
'stentatious petition made by proud men?
