while such men as Greeley were burying
them into the earth. The strong probabil-

have regarded him with. very great favor.
1t is quite different thing whether
should vote for a Republican who has much
in common with my own views, or for
one who has nothing at all in common with
them.
Mr.. Randall should not vote for eth
er OF them unless he was enorsed by the
Democratic Convention.
Mr.. Voorhees-Thats right.
MIR. Randall-And should vote for eth
er of them if endorsed by the Democratic
Convention.
Mr.. Bird, of New Jersey-I would not
vote for either Of them if he was endorsed.
Mr. Kerr, of Indiana, said that so far as
the statement in the paper quoted from re-
terred to him it was simply untrue.
MIR. Niback of Indiana repeated the same
remark, adding that nothing but the pow
er of organization would compel him to
vote for Mr.. Greeley, but that whenever the
Democratic party acted on the question he
would yield obedience to its action.
Mr.. Holman, of Indiana, also repudiated
the newspaper article so far as it referred
to him. He did not purpose to forestall
the action of the Baltimore Convention.
The House then resumed its regular bust
ness.

The Wrong Man.

There is very good story of trick
which was once played on old Doctor Cald-
well, formerly of the University of Califor-
MIA.
The old doctor was small man, and
lean, but as hard and angular as the most
irregular ofpine knots.
He looked as though he might be tough
but he did not seem strong. Neverthe-
less, he was among the knowing ones, re-
puted to be agile as a cat; and in addition,
was by no means deficient in the knowledge
of the "manly art" Well, in the freshman
class OF certain year, was burly, beef
eating mountaineer of eighteen or nine
teen. This genius evinced q great con-
tempt for old Bolus's physical dimensions,
and his soul was Mortified that one so de-
ficient in muscle should be so potential in
his rule.
Poor Jones had no idea of moral force.
At any rate, he was not inclined to knock
under and be controlled despotically by a
man he imagined he could tie or whip.
At length he determined to give the gen
tleman genteel, private thrashing some
night in the College Campus, pretending to
mistake him for some fellow student.
Shortly after, on q dark and rainy night,
ooiSo iiSo Wiz NtoSlol StOSoliS luC SdlllpuS.
Walking up to him abruptly:
Hello, Smith, you rascal lis that
you?"
And with that he struck the old gentle
man blow on the side of the head that
nearly felled him.
Old Bolus said nothing, but squared
himself, and at it they went. Jones' youth,
weight and muscle made him an "ugly
customer" but after a round or two the
doctors science began to tell, and in short
time he had knocked his antagonist down,
and was a-straddle of his chest, with one
hand on his throat and the other dealing
vigorous cuffs on the side of his head
"Ah, stop beg pardon, doctor! Doc
tor CALDWELL mistake-for Heavens
sake, doctor!" he groaned, and thought
he was going to be eaten up. 81 thought
you were Smith,"
The doctor replied with word and a
blow alternately.
at makes no difference; for all present
purposes consider me Smith.
And it is said that old Bolus gave Jones
such pounding, then and there, that he
never made another mistake as to personal
identity.

VARIETIES,

Horace Greeley, the national farmer,
was applied to for remedy for scratches
in horses" "Pare their toe nails close,n
responded the renowned agriculturist, and
they can't scratch any more.
speaking of theoretical farming, Josh
Billings says he once knew man who
wouldn't even set gatepost without hay
ing the ground analysed to see if it pos
sessed the proper ingredients for post holes.
-" Mister, where are you going with
that horse? ?" asked gentleman of a sus-
picious-looking man whom he met on
horseback WELL l hain't going any,
where with him." said the other, =" but he
is going somewhere with me-"
Olive Logan commenced one of her
lectures at Newark. recently, with the re-
mark Whenever 1 see pretty girl, l
want to clasp her in my arms" $50 do
we," shouted the boys in the gallery. For
a moment Olive was non plussed, but, re-
covering her self possession, she replied,
"Wcll, boys, don't blame you"
"A traveller in America tells story of
an emigrant who, being on his lonely way
to the back settlements was pursued by a
wild Indian bent on taking his scalp. The
fugitive ran till he was exhausted, and then
falling to the ground, submitted to fate.
The savage came up yelling and brandish
ing his knife, and laying his hand on his
victims head, was on the point of applying
his blade with the other; but the SILVER
ing victim wore wig. The wig came off
entire in the hands of the savage, and the
latter, Mortified at the unheard-of prodigy,
dropped his weapon and took to his heels,
and left the traveller to pursue his way.

How to Arrange Flowers.

Flowers may be arranged either accord
ing to the harmony or contrast of colors.
Red harmonizes with orange, orange with
yellow, violet with red, indigo to orange
yellow and violet to blush green. To
find the contrast to any flower, cut a small
circular piece out of its petals, place it up,
on white paper. look at it steadily with
one eye for few seconds, without letting
the eyelids close, then look from the color
ed circle to another part of the white pa
per, when a circle of another color will be
apparent this color is the true contrast,
or Complementary color. Tastes differ as
to whether the effect of arranging flowers
according to contrast or complimentary
color is more pleasing to the eye than &C.
cording to harmonies. The former, howev-
er, is the most in favor. To carry it out,
blue flower should be placed next to an
orange flower, yellow near violet, and a
red or white should have plenty of foliage
around it. White contrasts with blue or
orange or still better with red or pink, but
not with yellow or violet.

THE LOVE LETTER.

She took it in her trembling hands,
That poorly served her will
The wave of life on golden sands,
Stood for moment still.
She read the surerscripton DER,
And broke the careful seal
The precious burden that it bore
She did not read but feel
o, earth, 50 green with summer now,
o, sky OF heavenly blue
o, mated birds on every Dough!
Her thoughts are not for you.
The hum Of friendly tones below,
The life of pleasant care,
That swayed her soul an hour ago
Now rule no longer there.
She knows a love too pure and high
For simple words to speak
Its glory glistens in her eye,
And blnshes on her cheek
ITS brighter warmth about her lies,
1t fills each human need,
EnfoldS her life and glorifes
The simplest word or deed.
lie has no promise to allure,
No fairy tale to tell;
The skill of honest love is sure
To work its purpose well.
1t scorns the hatterer's subtitle art.
The wordling's acted lies.
But storms the fortress of the heart,
And bears away the prize.
Yet brave as spurred and belted knight,
More tender still than brave,
He lifts his victim into light,
Himself the willing slave.
o, Love, thy kingdom stands secure,
Born with Creations day;
Thy sweet dominion shall endure
When earth has passed away.

represent that there is an Increase in the num-
Der of Carlists bands throughout Spain and
that there are now fifteen thousand persons en-
gagged IN the iusurrection A proclamation has
been issued declaring many places 10 state of
siege, and there is a demand from the Provln-
ces where the Carlists are most active for troops
to assist in driving out disturbers Marshal
Serrano, with 5000 troops, has gone to Ma
varre, and his presence at the head of this
force has checked the operations of the Car
lists in that Department. Serrano will be APP
pointed Generalissimo of the forces operating
against the insurgents, and Concha will also be
given a high command. Senior Rosas, the
nominee of the MinisterialiSts, has been elected
President of the Cortes by large majority.
The other officers chosen are also supporters of
the Government. Seniors Gorilla, Moret aud
other leading Radicals were yesterday present
ed to the King. This circumstance is regarded
as one OF much importance, in view Of the fact
that the Republicans were reported to be in
league with the Carlists 1t is officially stated
that the number of insurgents actually 10 the

VEsUvlUs Dispatches from Rome state
that the eruption of Vesuvius is increasing and
becoming more serious and that two hundred
persons have been burned by the lava. Tore
del Greci is in danger of destruction, and the
people are flying from the town. A fresh
crater opened yesterday, and the ashes and
lava threaten the villages on the mountain side,
from which the inhabitants are removing their
household goods Thousands are encamped in
the fields The bay is covered with boats,
filed with spectators and the scene is grand and
terrible beyond description. The fumes at
times shoot up to a great height, and masses
of rock are elected with earthquake shocks,
which are distinctly felt in Naples. Rumors
of terrible disaster are current the report
being that a number of persons, whose curl
osity led them too near the Volcano sixty
were killed and wounded by a shower of lava,
