THE LOUISVILLE CONVENTION.

This is called to meet Sept 3rd, for the
purpose Of making Democratic platform.
and putting a Democratic candidate for
President in the field. The managers claim
that thirty-one States have already declared
that they will send delegates thereto, and
announce that the nominees of that body
are already assured of $4,000 votes :
Evidence daily accumulates indicative of
the now apparent fact that this convention
will be formidable bolt from Baltimore
And the mos: positive proof thereof is to be
found in Greeley's Portland speech. That
carefully prepared statement was but
strained effort to break the back of Louis
vile and keep Democrats therefrom. Gree
ley must have sensibly felt the force of that
movement OR he would not have broken his
silence when and as he did. 1t begins
now to appear that the statement of James
Watson Webb in his letter from England
indorsing Greeley will become entirely true,
namel y-that if the Democrats bolt in any
respectable numbers, or make another NOM
ination, Grant election is as sure as the
sun.-Bee.

The MEMoRY.-As a general thing,
thing, we read too much, and think about
what we read too little; the consequence
is that most Of the people We meet know
something in superficial way about almost
everything, and very little in a thorough
way about anything. Not tenth part Of
what is read is remembered for month
after the book. magazine, or newspaper is
laid aside. Daniel Webster, who had
very rich store Of information on almost
every subject of general interest, on being
asked how be could remember soaccurately, so
replied that it had been his habit for years
to reflect a short time on what be read,
and so to fix all the facts and ideas worth
remembering in his mind.

LoTTA IN CoNvENT.-The Boston
Daily Advertiser, ailuding to many Ameri-
can friends of that sprigI tly little combina-
tion of motion and music can hardly realize
that she is really immured within the walls
Of French convent. Fancy the Sister
Superior, or in the vernacular of the siam
ger, the "boss nun" catching our little dra-
matte "what is it" indulging in jig in
her room, when she should be studyiI g or
at vespers. Or suppose an old and solemn
visaged friar should hear worldly sounds of
music emanating from the apartments of
the "Marchit neess," and upon visiting the
same find her with disheveled tresses, ca
eriug nimbly about the chamber to the
lascivious pleadings of the old banjo
These things are not improbable, and the
idea of Lotta's SOLDERING down into meek
visaged, slow. moving convent student is too
comical for many of her admirers to enter
tain.

A ship canal across the peninsular of
Florida is proposed. The route is up the
81. Johns river one bundled and twenty
seven miles, then up the Ocklawaha river
for sixty miles. To this point ship canal
for the distance of forty miles must be cut
through the swamps to the Amaxara river,
at spot thirty FIVE miles from its mouth
where it empties into the Gulf of Mexico
near Cedar Keys. By this route six
hundred and fifty miles will be saved on
the voyage between the mouth of the Mis-
sissipri ard the Atlantic ports. As the
trade Of 1871 between the ports on the
Atlantic coast amounted to eight hundred
thousand tons, it is believed that handsome
revenue would be derived from the propos-
ed canDal.

man Republicans at Platt's Hall, in San

On taking the chair the doctor returned
thanks for the honor conferred, concluding
his remarks as follows: We will vote for
him kho once saved the Republic, and who
has been as great in time OF peace as he
was in time of war. We must stand
shoulder to shoulder in the coming bat
tie, aud have no doubt that victory will
crown our efforts, and We will place the
flag with the names of Grant aud Wilson
on the capital at Washington. The meet
ing was then addressed by D. Klintworth,
Simon Roseubaum, Harris Lowenberg aud
and NJ. A. Denicke. The following resolu-
tons were read by Emil Memejer and un-
animously adopted:
Whereas, The German citizens Of Ameri-
ca taking the most lively interest in the
prosperity of their adopted country, and
watching the political interior organizations
aud relation of the great Republic to for
eisn countries; and where's, our indorsing
those officers OF the Republic who have
remained true to these principles in times
of war aud peace, and who have defended
them with their sword and their word, and
and thereby contributed to our country be-
coming unit, free, great and powerful !;
and whereas, the election of Greeley and
Brown would endanger the liberty of the
people by the introdution of temperance
and Sunday laws; be it
Resolved, BY the Germans of San Fran
cisco here present,
First-That We are pround to applaud
the platform which was agreed upon by
the great National Republican Convention
in Philadelphia, and sec the salvation of
our adopted country in the nomination and
election of Grant and Wilson.
Sccond-That we condemn the union of
the disappointed Republicans, Democrats
and Secessionists 2s an unnatural one, aud
one which is dangerous to the Republic.
Tnird-That We will in this campaign
employ of all honorable means for acting
with all energy against party which is
composed of such elements as Tweed, Tam
many, JEFF Davis and the Secessionsts,
and which will again thrust US into anarchy,
heaping on US an untold burden of debts
Fourth-That we will form Grant and
Wilson Club for the purpose of establish
ing close union among the Germans, and
that we invite every German who takes an
interest in his adopted country to become
member of said organization and to work
for the just cause in word and in deed

A REMEDY FOR WoUNDs.-A cores
pondent of the Country Gentleman gives
the following remedy for painful wounds:
Take pan or shovel with burning Goals,
and sprinkle upon them common brown
sugar, and hold the wounded part in the
smoke. In few minutes Tie pain will be
allayed, and recovery will proceed rapidly
In my own case rusty nail had made a
bad wound in the bottom Of my foot The
pain and nervous irritation were severe.
This was all removed by bolding it in the
smoke for fifteen minutes, and | was able
to resume my reading in comfort We
have often recommended it to others with
like results. Last week one OF my men
had finger nail torn out by pair of ice
tongs. 1t became very painful, as was to
have been expected. Held in sugar smoke
for some twenty minutes the pain ceased,
and it promises speedy recovery.

FISH CULTURE this heading
the Sacramento Bee has the following !:
The last Congress appropriated the
sum of $4,000 to aid in the introduction
and propagation of fish in American waters.
In pursuance Of this project the Agricul-
tural Department has sent to this coast
MIR. Livingstone Stone, noted piscicul-
turist of New Hampshire, to examine our
fishes, make collections of species for pre-
servation in the Department, and to raise
few thousand dozen young salmon to be
taken East fer distribution in the principal
rivers there. Mr.. Stone was in Sacramento
yesterday, went through our fish markets
and is much pleased with the size and
vuality of the California salmon. He will
leave in few days for Pitt and McCloud
rivers where he wil..erect Matching houses
in which to propagate salmon, will watch
and feed the young brood until able to bear
transportation and will then accompany
chem East and distribute them as directed
Fish culture is young yet-only beginning,
but it is fast rising into importance.
