Swallowing GreeIey.

The avidity with which the Demo-
cratic party pretend TO swallow the
nomination of Horace Greeley by the
Baltimore Convention, with mis- life
long opposition To them and their
principles not that they hate him
the less, but that they long for the
spOils the mOre-reminds me fOTcibly
Of IN incident that occurred during
the rebellion. A friend, whose prov
ince it was to administer the oath of
allegiance to all persons taking office
or claiming pensions from the Uni
ted States Government, was called
upon by female pensiOner, whose
husband had been killed in the MeXi-
can war, for the purpose Of having
him prepare a semi-annual power of
attorney to draw her pension upon.
The order requiring all pensioners to
take the oath OF allegiance had just
been issued, but she had heard moth
ing of it. While he was preparing
the papers she was exercising her
tongue in the most virulent abuse of
the Government, the Union men gen.
orally, and Old Abe particularly. He
let her run on without interruption
for some time, and then, laying down
his pen said to her: at is not worth
while Mrs. j, for me to make out
these papers for feeling as you do,
you, of course, won't take the oath,
as is now required of all pensioners" b"
"What oath's that ?" she exclaim-
ed sharply, "some of your nasty, dir
ty Lincolnis work, 1 suppose.n
'I will read you the OATH" said he,
''and you will have to take it or you
can't draw your money! He then
picked up a blank form, and with di-
vers interpretations Of his own read to
her. The form with his interpOla-
tions, read somewhat as follows:
"I sOlemnlY swear that will sup
port the Constitution of the UNITED
States and the Administration of
Abraham Lincoln. Also, l believe
the said Lincoln to be a just, pure,
upright, honest, virtuOus and immac-
ulate patriot, statesman and Christ
ian. I believe that the rebellion was
conceived in sin and brought forth in
iniquity, and that all who are con-
eerned in it deserve to die q traitOr's
death.n
When he stopped reading the paper
he expected an outbreak. She sat for
some time in silence, with her head
hanging down. Then she said at
length, and in the DlceEest tone iHdeiR.
able, "Well, Lawyer, 1 reckon pll
have to take the oath so as to have
the money"
Comment seems unnecessary, but
our Democratic friends can answer
for themselves.

A ClaIrrorant,s Ereslght.

Gerald Massey, the well-knOwn pO-
ct, in 4 recent lecture at st. Georges
Hall, London, said that some twenty
two years ago he was invited to see a
clairvOyant read without the use
of her eyes. He was asked to place
his fingers over her eyes, so as to pre-
vent her from being able to see. He
knew so little of what was expected
of him, that he placed his fingers so
wide apart that she could see between
them. This lady afterward became
his wife, and he found that this read
ing by abnormal vision was a tact.
He had never properly understood it
before. Since then, however, he had
seen her read so hundreds OF times,
and convince hundreds of people.
Many persons had been prepared
for the acceptance Of fspiritualism from
what they saw of he elairvOyance.
Not only did she read books in this
manner, but the human body itself
appeared to be diaphaHOus 10 her,
She had been made use Of in hospi-
tails to diagnose diseases and prescribe
for them. Her power was just the
same whether her eyes were bandag-
ed or not; in fact, if the eyes Of the
flesh were open she could not read
at all. a young man once asked her
if she could see the pain he had. She
said that he must have suffered the
fracture Cfa rib, as one bone was over
tapping another The young man re-
piled that he had suffered such a frac-
ture, and that he had always feared
that the bones had not been properly
set. On another occasion an officer
came with a friend. He was dressed
as private gentleman. He had lost
a carpet-bag, and wanted TO know if
il could be found by means of clair
vOyance. She described the bag and
contents, amongst other things a
brace of curious silver-mOunted pis-
tolls OF Indian workmanship, then a
something she could not identify.
Turning 10 the officer, she uttered a
scream. He wore an artificial arm;
his own, which he had lost in action,
was in the bag, and that was what
she had tried to describe.
One morning on waking up at sew
en- o'clock she informed her husband
that his mother was dead. On being
questioned as to how she knew, she
said that she had seen the black
edged letter put under the bedroom
door. At eight o'clock Mr.. Massey
himself saw the letter containing the
sad announcement put under the
door.

A Native Orange Rum Feast.

The natives have collected in groups
reclining on mats in front OF the few
principal houses in the village, the
cigarette is passed from one 10 anoth-
er, and to tile stranger unacquainted
with their language some grave mat
ter is being discussed, BtiI il is not so;
IL is the preparation of au OFIfIge-rum
fess. and the Hula Hun that liOlds
their intention. Presently Two or
three Europeans, bringing large casks
with them, join the asss N bfy; in a
short time ten or fifteen lIOgsneads are
collected, and the women and young
people are detailed TO gather the or
anges on the morrow. These casks
are taken perhaps two or three miles
up the valley, until the most unfre-
quented spot is reach, where they are
filled with the juice OF the orange,
holes are dug, and the Casks are bur-
led for two days, by which time the
liquor is fermented and ready for use.
On the third the young people Of the
neighbOring districts, an assembly Of
from eighty to one hundred males and
females, proceed TO the scene Of the
revel.
1t is midday; in ashady spot, where
the tropical undergrOwth has been
cleared; all are seated in a ring. Here
is girl hardly thirteen years old, by
her side a hUary-headed sinner of for
ty; next IS L native man Of about
twenty; at his right is a half-caste
girl; forming another portion of this
circle is an American formerly sail
or on board q whale ship; his dsugh-
ter, TOO, II / mistake not, mixes in
this assembly, and the natives closing
the ring, are mixed with the Tufuse OF
civilization. The liquor is passed in-
to tubs and each person is provided
with half cOcOa-uut shell, tie scene
of dehauchery and drunkenness is in
augurated; aud in less than half an
hour a gallon or more Is drank by
each one of the assembly. The scene
changes and it is eighty or one hund-
red demons that are before Us. Every
particle Of dress Is thrown aside and
the obscene Huia-Hula dance Is COM
meucrd; more liquor is drank, aud
the revel has fairly reached its sum
nit. At times the scene Is diversified
by fight for the possession of one Of
the fair daughters Of the Isle. Night
CLOSES on a sight far too hOTrd tO de-
scribe, FAR too disgusting to write up
or.
During the orange season, which
lasts from February to Iuly, the Or
ange feasts are OF frequent occurrences
in all the distric.s around the island,
and it may be truly said that morality
and virtue have reached their lowest
point in Tahiti.-ALO California sketch

Mr. Wilson's Prediction.

In his speech at Cooper Institute in
April, Senator Wilson said that in
1860, in 1864, and in 1868 he predicted
how the States would go. In the first
year he did not niss one, on the 9TH
er occasions he missed one each-the
last time because he did not cOmpre-
hend the "cOunting power of Tamma-
n.y." He then predicted that at the
coming election twenty-seven States
would 90 for Grant. Yesterday, while
the SeEatOr was in the city, lie was
confronted with the alleged stale
ment that he had said Grant would
carry but one State. Mr.. Wilson re-
marked to to his interviewer that he
still adhered to his Cooper Institute
prediction that Grant would carry
twenty-seven States. This puts a
quietus upon q class Of rOOrbacks
which is becoming quite numerous
among the FusiOnists. They have
discovered that all the world is for
Greeley, and that the Republican
lines are breaking. 1t is too bad to be
obliged to remove this delusiOn and
present their case in all its naked de-
fOrmity, but it must be dOne.-M Y

Not Long Enough.

The Democratic hope of success next
November, by means of Republican
aid, reminds us of a negro sermon
which we once heard, as reported by a
clerical friend in this city. We do not
remember ever to have seen it in
print. The colored preacher, in the
course of 4 very animated discourse,
related u dream which he had dreamed
a few nights before. He said:

All, l dreamed a dream-ah. An /

The preacher paused a moment for
breath, then resumed more loudly and
excitedly than ever:

Chinese Ingenuity.

y little incident was brought to our
notice Gay or Two since which Illus
ITates the ingenuity of the Chinese IN
rather = peculiar manner "Micky
McD1uieiS' rs he Is iamiliariy called,
owns = number o. geese, which occa-
sianally get IN the slough and stray
away JO the Chinese vegetable gar
deuS, which border this pleasant pool.
The plan hit upon by John u prevent
them from gratifying their natural
. prOPensiti5s was ingenious and novel.
and remained undiscovered until a
I few days since. Several geese bslOng-
I ing 10 Mr.. Mechanics had died. and
no reason could be assigned for this
strange procedure on their part, for
they ~ere fat and healthy, and . goose
IS supposed 10 be a lOng-lived fowl.
But when they were driven up to be
picked the mystery solved Four of
the birds were found gagged in q sin
gular manner and one which can
hardly be described. A ring of fine
wire, about two inches in cireumfer-
ence, WAS found in the mouth of each,
held there BY being turned over the
top of the head and hooked in under
the feathers. The way IL came there
Is easily understood. The Chinaman.
when making these rings, twisted
two ends OF the wire together, turn
ing the end over, making quite a
strong hook. This was hung on
cabbage leaf or other vegetable, and
left 10 wait for the coming of the vic
tim. In feeding, the goose would
strike its bill down to pick up a tempt
ing mOrsel, and if one part of the bill
went inside this loop, its doom WAS
sealed, for the loop would, by the
force OF the blow, be turned over the
head Of the reckless bird, and the
hook, Of necessity, would fasten un-
der the feathers Onlthe top ofthe head. I
4 few struggles Of the pTisOned bird |
would draw the fine wire under the |
feathers out Of sight, and thus the
bird would be unable to close its bill. /
In this condition, with its head held l
high in the sir, it would run around /
in circle until exhausted. Even in |
being driven home and observed in /
that situation, il would require close |
inspection to detect the cause of this |
strange proceeding on the part Of the 1
tortured bird. Mir. MeD4niels had |
lost a large number, and only diseOv-
cred the cause accidentally, when en- /
gagged in picking them. If any one /
can produce more ingenious method |
of getting rid of geese, without kill /
ing them outright, we should like To /
be informed Of the mode of dispOsing |
Of them. We shall doubt the ingenu- |
ity of John no longer, but indOrse that
famous saying-''FOr ways that are /
dark, and tricBs that are vain, the /
heather Chinee is peculiar"

Widow II council BLUFFS.


Many Of our citizens viii rec0.iec
AIF. N L. Stanton, tie young mar
who acted rs TIE private secretary {,
DR.. Payne. For the last two week,
lie has been . Council Bluiis with thC
Doctor. LAST Wednesday he Wa.
married at the Pacific House in that
city, and Is there is a little r0mancs
connected with the affair, we propose
to enter somewhat into detail il re-
gard TO It.
There arrived at Council Bluffs, ten
days ago, a lady from California nam.
ed Mrs. Fitch. She was on her way
from San Francisco to London, but as
she became sick while travelling on
the railroad, she concluded to stop at
Council Bluffs, and put herself under
the care Of physician until her re-
cOvery. She accordingly employed
the medical services of DR.. Payne. 1t
was while she was the doctors patient
that Mr.. Stanton became acquainted
with her. The acquaintance ripened
into love, and Mrs. Fitch, it is strange
TO relate, recovered from her illness
in a remarkably short time, which
was probably owing more to the pO-
tent power of love than TO any medi-
cal pOtatiOns administered 10y the
Doctor.
To go back a little in the history OF
Mrs. Fitch, we will state that she is q
daughter of the Lord Bishop OF Eng
land.
She is n very handsome lady, thirty
years of age, and was a widow of the
Wt fr1 kn
bands up to the time of her meeting
Mr.. Stanton. In addition to these
facts, it may be stated that she is pos
sessed of considerable wealth. Mrs
Fitch is powerful spiritualissic me-
dunn, and while travelling eastward
she had presentiment that she was
to meet u cOuntryman of hers to
whom she would be united in the hO-
ly bonds of matrimOny. No sooner
had she set eyes on Mr.. Stanton than
she concluded that he was the very
man. We have stated above how
their acquaintance Terminated in love.
Mrs. Fitch, after a very brief court
ship, took advantage of the fact that
this is seap year, and changing the
course generally pursued in affairs Of
the heart, she made q proposal of
to her beloved. Air. Stan
ton, acting under the circumstances
as would lady, took time to consider
the proposition. He saw on little re-
lection that here was a splendid Op-
for bettering his position in
The world. Mrs. Fitch was of good
family, young, handsome, educated,
and above all things, wealthy, and he
finally concluded, as any sensible
young man would have done under
the circumstances, to become the
fourth husband of her who had asked
his heart and hand in marriage. An
answer was accordingly
given, and the ceremony took place
IN the Pacific House, in Council
Bluffs, last Wednesday afternoon,
after the very brief courtship of one
week; but the brevity of the cOurtship
was only exeelled by the ardOr of the
overs. The wedding was prOnOunc-
ID by all who knew anything about
t, to have been very recherche af-
air, and was the general gossip
among the higher circles of the viii
age across the Big Muddy.
The happy couple have gone on a
trip to New York, where
hey will probably remain. Mr.. STAN
on proposes at once to enter upon
he study of q OfessiOn-either that
,f medicine or law
