NEW YoRK, July 24.-The official
notification of Greeley's nomination
at Baltimore, with his response, Is
published. The notification, which Is
brief, merely announces his unani-
nous nomination and the adoption Of
the Cincinnati platform as strength
ened BY the Endorsements contained In
Greeley's letter Of acceptance Of the
Cincinnati nomination, adding that
the intention comprises that they lay
aside all differences Of the past, aban-
don all purposes Of mere partisan adj
vantage, and ask Of him no pledge
other than that Of fidelity to the
principles Of the platform.
Greeley's response Is dated the 18th,
and is quite lengthy. He refers to his
long struggle against slavery; says he
regards the afirmance by the Baltl-
moro Convention Of the Cincinnati
platform rs conclusive proof that not
merely Is slavery abolished but that its
spirit is extinct, despite the protest Of
an isolated few, and there remains no
party to regret the achievements Of
the past four years.

The Benefits of Walking.

Walking briskly, with an exciting OBJ
iect or pleasurable interest ahead, is the
most healthful of all forms Of exercise
except that Of encouragingly renumern-
tive, steady labor in the open mir; and
yet multitudes in the city, whose health
urgently :uquires exercise, seldom walk
when they can ride, if the distance is a
nile or more. 1t is worse in the conn
try, especially with the well-to-do; a
horse or carriage must be more brought
TO the door even if less distance have to
be passed. Under the conditions first
named walking is bliss; it gives ami
nation to the mind, it WHITES the circu-
lation, it paints the cheek and sparkles
the eye, and wakes up the whole being
physical, mental, and moral. We know

time in the Swiss mountains. Some
times they would be caught in drench

occasions they made it a point to d
one thing, let it rain and trudged o
more vigorously until every thread wa

A Flock of Wild Geese Drunk.

One Tom Mosely, of Stockton, Califor-.
MIA, is responsible for this story:
Up iu the vicinity of Grayson, on the
west side of the river, since the storm,
wild geese have become so numerous as
to do serious damage IN the way Of pick
ing up wheat lately sown. A farmer
friend of Toms, who resides in that To-
cality, bit upon a novel but effective plan
of freeing himself of the ravages Of the
millions of wild fowls that swarm that
region. He poured whisky over guam
tity of wheat unit! it absorbed about q
gallon; he then scattered the wheat over
his fields aud awaited the result. .a.
The geese came in Aocks; they alighted
and deyoured the wheat, and in little
while the fields were filed with drunken
geese, tumbling about and fighting for all
the world like drunken men. Now was
the time for the farmer, and with club
he killed no less than six hundred Of tile
drunken crowd. He gathered up the
slain and set lot Of Cinnamon to pluck
their feathers, from the sale of which he
expects to realize the value Of the whisky
used, it not Of the wheat eaten. .t.t.
