An exchange says that when
Messrs. Sumner, ard Banks
avowed their opposition to

many Republicans would fol-
low their old leaders int the
Greeley ranks. The election
on Tuesday In Vermont shows
that the effect there was not
flattering to their self.esteem m
An incident occurred last Mon
day which shows that, even in
Massachusetts,, their own home,
there is little to fear. The
Thirty-sixth Massachusetts, reg

niversary on Monday last, at
Worcester. Ten years before
1t left Worcester, one thousand
strong, tor the seat of war, and
on Monday two hundred and
twenty-five survivors met to
greet one another and talk
over their experiences. 1t was
suggested that a vote be ta-
ken. Two hundred and twen-
ty-three voted for Grant and

LincOIn's Rebuke of Greeley

On the zzu ot august, loUz,
Abraham Lincoln was moved
10 write that remarkable let
ter to Horace Greeley, which
will stand as a model of
perspicuity and patriotic re-
solve for the admiration of com
ing generations. Greeley was
persistently finding fault and
debating to the President his
duty. Impatient that so little
attention was paid tochis rant
ing he finally addressed a COM
munication to the President
through the columns of the Tri-
bune. 1t was insolent and pre-
sumptuous in the last degree,
for it seemed to be written up.
on the presumption that the
President did not know his du.
ty, or If he knew it, had not the
nerve to perform it. Mr.. Lin
coin replied to it at once. In
bis admirable letter he gave
Greeley to understand that his
false statements were permit
ted topass unheeded. His false
inferences should not be digni-
fed by a controversy. The i'm.
patient and dictorial tone was
simply tolerated because of a
belief that it was the result of
an inflrmity of temper, not a
badness of heart. The great
ness OF Lincoln shone out in the
frank avowal of a high purpose
to perform his sworn duty,
which was to defend and save
the Union at all hazards. He
was chosen President of the
United States with a full
knowledge on the part of the
people of all sections that he
believed slavery prejudicial to
the perpetuity Of the Union
and maintenance of liberty.
But his great trust and his
sworn duty was to preserve the
Constitution inviolate, execute
the laws as he found them, and
save the Union. Therefore his
personal desires could not be
permitted to sway his action or
CONTROL his plans. The rebuke
was withering and effectually
silenced the clamorous mari
plot of the Tribune. The Chi
cago Times has done good ser
vice in recalling this letter to
mind

The STORY of an Abandoned
City in Mexico.
The Inauguration of the dia'

the prelude to a perfect whirl
of sure-hunting enthusi.
asm. The Cocos IslaLd chin.
era still affords the light of
faith and hope, and another ex-
pedition is now preparing to
renew the search for the "deviI's
wealth" existing (according to
tradition Of dubious character)
on the lone isle. We have
still another project maturing,
more brilliant than all, of which
only a few OF the main points
have yet been revealed. But in
due time California street Will
be afforded an opportunity oil
taking stock, This later tradi-
tion of great promise relates
that once on a time, several
hundred years ago, the early
French settlers of Louisiana
sent an expedition into the re-
glon OF country now designated
as New Mexico. They founded
a city in a fertile region, on tbe
bank OF a beautiful stream, and
which became quite popllous.
There the precious metals, gold
and silver, abounded profusely,
and the good people, in their
religious favor erected a mag>
nifcent temple, and endowed
it bounteouSly with their
wealth. Among its decorations
were life-slze pictures OF the
virgin and of the saints of their
preference, in solid gold and
silver. An earthquake oc-
Cured, which turned the cur
rent of their river-or, indeed,
erased it from the face of the
earth-and left the city nnten-
able from the absence of water.
The inhabitants who survived
the calamity, few In number,
gathered together their i'm.
mense treasures and deposited
them in pit, which was exca-
vated ON the plaza in front of
their splendid church. They
then attempted to return east.
ward, but mostly periShed by
privation or at the hands of the
hostile Indians. A record of
the treasure burying, however,
purports to have been preserv-
ed in the hands of the Yuma
Indians, describing the precise
location and indicating the
amount to be many millions.
The ruins of this city are said
to be discernible on the banks
of a dry river in New Mexico,
the most convenient point oil
access thereto being Albu-
querque. A frontiersman who
has spent the greater portion
OF his life upon the plains and
in the Territory claims to hav g
ebt possession of all the i'm
portant documents referred to,
which is said to embrace a di-
agram indicating the precise
spot where this enormous treas
ure is said to he found.

The Pacific Rural Press says,
"lt may not be known to far
mers in general, that it is a
common practice in some
parts of the country to turn
sheep into the potato field for
the purpose Of eating down the
weeds. The sheep will not
touch the potato vine. This
pasturing with sheep is advan-
tageous when the crop is a late
planted one, so that the hoeine
can not be completed until af-
ter the haying or harvesting is
finished. At the growing sea.
son it is the farmers aim to
keep down the grass and weeds,
so that they may be covered
by the cultivator and hoe,
when these are used. Pastur-
ing with sheep will attain this
object. Early planted crops,
the cultivation Of which is
completed nthe early part of
She summer, frequently become
grassy and weedv before the
time of digging, when the size
OF the tops preclude cultiva-
ton. In this stage the sheep
are economical weeders. 1t is
hardly necessary to mention
that the feed thus given to the
sheep makes a double profit,
inasmuch as it costs absolutely
nothing, while labor is saved
and weeds prevented from
seeding.

TIE Octoroon.

This play received its second representa-
ton at the st. Charles Theatre last evening.
A very fine house was in attendance, and
the piece was received with undated
enthusiasm. The scenery worked much
smoother than on Wednesday night The
steamboat scene at the end of the fourth
act was very well done, indeed, and re-
eeived an encore. The acting, also, was
visibly bettered, although that seemed hard
to do, as the first performances appeared
perfect. Yet there was more harmony
among the characters, and some of the
business was improved. Miss Isabel Free
man is positively splendid as Zoe, looking
very beautiful, and acting with great abili-
ty, sweetness and power. Mr.. George
Clarke makes of George Peyto1s all the chan
acter admits. The part is not fOrcible
one by any means, and might prove insipid
in any other hands. Mr.. Pitou, Mr.. How
son and Mr.. Murdoch are all great in their
characters. These three gentlemen seem to
vie with each other in giving specimens of
truly magnificent acting, and all who have
seen the piece will admit that their parts are
pCI1OEn6u III q EoAdIhhUAl dII4SlAo u4duACLs
Mr.. Ryer is as funny as he can be as Pete,
and again brings tears to the eyes of his
audience in the more pathetic portions of
his part. Mr.. George Holland has made
Colonel Poiaderter, the auctioneer, one of
the prominent parts in the piece. This
character, in the hands of an ordinary
actor, would not amount to much, but Mr..
Holland invests it with considerable i'm
portanee by his careful and original acting,
and deserves especial praise therefor.
Mr.. Hind, too, is very careful, and as
elaborate in his "get-up" as ever. His
Sstrlnyside is well considered and properly
played. Miss Mary Carr also deserves more
than passing notice for her thorough
painstaIing portralture. In fact there is
not badly played part in the piece. Even
the colored hands seem tGunderstand their
business to the very letter, and the "Roust-
abouts,' with their peculiar chorus, have
proven a strong card. We advise all our
readers who would like to pass most
agreeable evening to go and see the SOC

In regard to the stock market, the reply
of one of the readiest among the brokers is
the best description:
80, there's nothing doing in stocks; can't
sell the most solid; have to advertise
them" isI
Bytanother: There's no inquiry; every
body's saying, 'whatn you give, instead Of
'whatn you take ?"
From another quarter: There's con
siderable movement in gold, which takes up
all attention just now"
"Why is the stock market SO dull I"
so, 1 don't knOw-suppOse it's because
people have better use for their money.
The tancies are not even touched. A
European Propelling Company stock ap-
peared yesterday, but nobody wanted it.
The levee stock dividend Of twenty Per
cent of the earnings is the latest talk.
Twenty per cent is declared on the pre-
ferred; eighty per cent is remaining. This
is to be divided between the preferred and
the ordinary, forty to each," was one state
ment.
''Then there will be sixty per cent of the
earnings on the preferred %
THAT'S about the size of it. The com
pany want to stick up the preferred, and
make everybody turn the ordinary into
this kind. They won't make the trip.
They won't get mine"
Ordinary was quoted yesterday at 81 25;
s4 paid at 81 1919; sales made, about 100
shares. The declaration of the dividend
has had no effect whatever, to all appear
ances. The words of "learned length and
laundering sound" used by some of the
street commentators" is something fearful
for small man to behold. The profits on
preferred have been estimated at $4 a share
from this dividend. This is pronounced
'1iberal movement"

lobbying any more. -.., .-s.

An Yesterday evening two per-
sons named George Croft and John Good
year had little quarrel, or rather were 60
ing to settle an old one, on Annunciation
street, between Washington and Sixth
streets, when Goodyear drew pistol and
a scuffie ensued, in which Croft secured the
weapon and fired two shots at his antag-
onist, who jumped into street car going
toward Jefferson City. The pistol was then
taken by Croft to the sixth precinct station.
Shortly afterward Goodyear went into the
station and made an affidavit against Croft,
charging him with assault and battery.
The accused was subsequently arrested and
locked up. According to what can be as
certalned of this affair, it appears that Croft
acted throughout on the defensive.
