A PICTURE OF CARL ScHUEz-Nor AT
THE PIANo.-The ability of Carl Schurz
no one denies. But that he belongs to
the angelic class of public men is a
proposition that is about exploded. For
the benefit of his admirers, the N. Y.
Times has recently recapitulated some Of
his fnc points. 1t says Schurz has nc
claim to public confidence or respect. He
came to America in 1852. He was
naturalized in 1857, at twenty.seven
Two years later he was candidate be-
lore the Republican Convention of Wis
consn for Governor, but failed of o
nomination, and was rendered the nomin-
alton of Lieut-G Governor. This offer he
spurned contemptuousy. and refused tc
support the ticket nominated by the Con
vention. In the campaign Of 1850, he
entered into a contract to canvass the
country, at about $3.50 per week and ex'
penses. lie was assigned to duty IL
SOME of the Western States. He refused
to make any speeches unless he was paid
an additional sum for each speech by the
local committees. Further sums were
paid him by such commsttees, varying
from $50 to 500 for each speech. HC
succeeded in procuring the appointment
of Minister to Spain, where he remained
but little more than q year. He con
stantly represented to Mr.. Lincoln that
he had supreme control of the German
vote, and any refusal to comply with his
demand would be promptly resented by
that class of voters.
In 1862 Mr.. Schurz returned to Wash
ington, and gave Mr.. Lincoln to under
stand that if he were not given at least
Brig Generals commission. with Major
Generals command, then he would al
once "withdraw" his 100000 Germans
and oppose the administration. Mr.
Schurz was one of the most persistent
bores in Washington for appointments il
the civil service lie advocated the
cause of citizen of Missouri, who had
neither social or political standing, for
foreign mission. The name was sent into
the Senate. Schurz had free field il

Gen. Schurz pressed upon the President
the appointment of his brc;her-in-law
Mr. Jussen Of Chicago, as collector Of
the Chicago district. lie was appointed
because Gen. Schurz asked it, and Schurz
asked it simply because Jussen was
brother-in-law. In politics he belonged
to the extreme revolutionary type Of some
European societies. He now seeks to
destroy an administration which bo has
sought in vain to corrupt.

CLOTHING.
1t deserves to be remarked that both
men and women are clad. The mems
shirts and drawers are composed Of cot
ton twist from England; their outer
clothing is of stout brown wooden stuff,
thick wooden socks, and skull-cap, over
which they twist white cotton turban.
The women's cotton clothing is elaborate
ly embroidered in brilliant colors with
home-dyed wool. There are few persons
without holiday suit, which also lasts
them their lifetime. In severe weather
the men wear sheepskin overcoats, with
wool inside and, as rule, all sleep in
the clothes in which they have done their
days work. A popularity in the elm ate
requires that the lower limbs should be
kept warm, and this is everywhere at.

CHAR0N AND SHARON,

From the California Republican. June sOth.l
In the names Of Charon and Sharon

nounced nearly alike. Charon was

duty it was, In tho days Of mythology.
to convey the souls Of the damned

Styx. Sharon, the modern million

Ing into the ferryins business, and at

Senator IN the State of Nevada. he will
doubtless row the condemned ~carcasses
OF j. p. Jones and the rest Of his enc
mics to the headwaters Of Salt River
that bourne from whence no defeated
politician ever returns. The enemies
Of Mr.. Sharon have undoubtedly been
"hoist with their own petard." The
boomerang which they directed against
their enemy has recoiled upon them
selves. Within the past few weeks
there has been u remarkable change In
public sentiment In regard to the posi-
lions Of Sharon aud Jones, and 1t Is
now quite evident that the former has
got the "toss" for the place In the
United States Senate which Jim Nye
