Life bears us on like stream of q mighty
river. Our boat at first glides dowA the mar
row channel through the playful murmurs of
the little brook and the winding of the grassy
borders. The trees shed their blossoms over
our young heads the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves to our hands; we
are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly at the
beauties around us; but the stream hurries
on, and still our hands are empty. Our
course in youth and manhood Is along a
deeper and wider flood, amid objects more
striking and magnificent. We are animated
at the moving pictme of enjoyment and in
dustry passing around us-are excited at
some short-lived disappointment. The stream
bears us on, and our joys and griefs are not
left behind us. We may be shipwrecked-
we cannot be delayed: whether rough or
smooth, the river hastens to its home, till the
roar OF the ocean is heard in our ears, FAD
the tossing of the waves beneath our feet,
and the land lessons from our eyes, and the
floods are lifted up around us, and we take
our leave of earth and its inhabitants, until
of our farther voyage there is no witness
save the Infinite and the Eternal. IL, h...,,s

GeFmaanY,s Foe.

Late foreign letters show that the most
dangerous foe Germany has at present is the
socialism spreading swiftly throughout the
empire. A Aworkingman' congress has lately
been held at Halle, at which programme
was drawn up and adopted of most revo-
lutionary character. 1t demands the suppress
sion Of the Federal Councils and the soyer-
eighty of the Reichstag, with preponder-
ating influence of the working classes, with
suppression of the army, the abolition of
indirect taxes to be replaced by progressive
income tax, the legal limitation of days
work to eight hours, and the union of work
ing men in producing societies, especially
protected by the State, with capital of from
30. 600, 600 to 100, ,000, 900 thalers, are among
the further demands of this modest pro.
gramme. In regard to taxation, the German
workman says the man who has the neces-
saries of life should pay nothing, while those
who have incomes of millions can easy
spare one of them. He would abolish the
army, because, confident If there were no
soldiers, there would be no war.--Er. ,laqa

Trnnabsa bsaii,s Col..istenSx.

From tho Speech of Attorney General williams, at
Philadelphia. Sept. 49, '-'s - s
One OF the numerous accusations brought
against the Republican party at this time is
that it favors the Capitalization of power in
the general government, and Senator Trum-
bull leads off in this charge. To look at a
leaf of history upon this subject may be re-
freshing. Senator Trumbull was the author
and advocate of the first civil rights bill, a
bill that not only declared as to who should
be citizens of the United States, but as to
who should buy or hold property or make
contracts III the States, and as to who should
sue or be witnesses in the courts of the
: States, and other similar provisions.
In January, 1866, he introduced a Freed
mems Bureau bill-t1ot the bill that became
law, but one ten times more aggressive up-
on the rights of the States-that was defeated
by President JOhnson's veto. BY this bill
State authorities and laws were substantially
suspended as to the millions of colored peo-
pie in the Southern States, and for the time
being they We're taken under the immediate
care and supervision of the general govern
ment. se - - t'@ ST..
l call the attention of the country, in an
swer to Trumbulrs hue and cry about CEN
tralization and military rule, to the fact that
both of these bills contained this section:
"That it shall be lawful for the President
OF the United States, or such person as he
may empower for that purpose, to employ
such part of the land or naval forces of the
United States, or of the militia, us shall be
necessary to prevent the violation and enforce
the due execution of this act" -.
Let 1t be remembered that both of these
bills passed Congress before the adoption of
the 14th and 18th amendments, and expressed
Senator Trumbnll's construction of the old
Constitution with the 18th amendment and
they were not only the first bills of the kind,
but they were more destructive of the States
than any others that have ever passed Con
gress. do not complain of these acts, but
do complain that the man who inaugurated
this system of legislation, and by his argu-
ments and influence induced the Republican
party to support it, should now denounce
that party and demand its destruction because
1t accepted his views and followed his coun-
sells upon the subject.

How n President is ELECTED.

The question is often asked as to how the
PRESIDENT OF the United States is elected
we Will answer: Each State is entitled to
as many Electors for President and Vice
PRESIDENT as it has Senators and Representa-
tVes in Congress. Hence Pennsylvania has
tWenty-nine Electors. In each State the
Electors are chosen by a plurality vote.
That is, II there are three sets of Electors
voted for those having the highest number of
votes are chosen. But candidate for Pres
ident, in order to I've successful, must have
majority of the Electors. If there be three
candidates for President and none of them
receive majority of the electoral college.
there is no choice, and the election goes to
the House of Representatives. The House
must continue their choice TO the three high
est candidates voted for by the Electors.
The Representatives vote by States, and each
State has but one vote; so that the power of
Delaware is as great as Pennsylvania. A
candidate TO be successful must receive A
majority OF all the States. If the delegation
is divided equally the vote of the State can
not be cast, and therefore Is lost

A Terrible COuntry.

The Valley of Death, spot almost as ter
rible as the prophets valley of dry bones,
lies just north Iof the old Mormon road to
California, a region thirty miles long by
thirty broad, and surrounded, except at two
points, by inaccessible mountains. 1t is to-
tally devoid of water and vegetation, and the
shadow of bird or wild beast never darkens
its white glaring sands. The Kansas Pacific
railroad engineers discovered it, and also
some papers which show the fate of the
''lost Montgomery train," which came south
from Salt Lake in 1850, guided by Mormon.
When near Deaths Valley, someleame to the
conclusion that the MOrmOns knew nothing
about the country, SO they appointed one of
their number leader and broke out from
their party. The leader turned due west !
SO with the people and wagons and flocks he
travelled three days and then descended into
the broad valley, whose treacherous mirage
promised water. They reached the centre,
but only the white sand, bounded by scorch-
ing peaks, met their gaze Around the val
ley they wandered, and one by one the men
died, and the painting focks stretched them
selves in death under the hot sun. Then the
children, crying for water, died at their
mothers breast, and with swollen tongues
and burning vitals the mothers followed.
Wagon after wagon was abandoned, and
strong men tottered and starved and died
After a weeks wandering, dozen survivors
found some water in the hollow of a rock in
the mountain. 1t lasted but short time,
when all persisted but two, who escaped out
of the valley, and followed the trail Of their
former companions. Eighty-seven families.
with hundreds of animals, perished here,
and now, after twenty-five years, the wagons
stand still complete, the iron works and tires
are bright, and the shrivelled skeletons ale
side by side.-Sda FRANCISCO GaA ~ gt4-a4

Gentlcman's Fnshfons--A peep mt the
al ~,is} ;GOmang Fashions. s..., al t..t.,,

London has always filled for men the posi-
ton that Paris does for ladies, and fashions
for the sterner sex inaugurated there have
always found their way out to this Western
world in the end. The New York Mail has
adyices of a change in the costume of the
London fashionables, which is quite interest
ing as an indication of what Is coming. The
correspondent saws :u/Ji gip 3!.r Ih1f -13r
The style of dress most worn here by gen.
tlemen of fashion, and especially noticeable
at all fashionable places of morning resort, is
a light-colored frock coat, usually drab or
gray twilled cashmere or fine angola, rather
long in the waist and skirt, silk breast facings
and bound with silk ribbon to match, or
velvet collar, plain facings, and double
stitched edges, and to wear buttoned with
three buttons. Waistcoat, white, striped
marseilles, and trousers of dark blue dag
onal or ribbed ''worsted" cloth with broad
black mohair braid laid on flat on the side
seams. This is decidedly reversing the order
of dress, dark coat and light trousers, to
which the habits of the last few years have
accustomed US, nevertheless it is very stylish
and effective costume, especially adapted to
and certain to be much worn during the early
autumn. A large STANLEY" or tied sailers
knot is usually worn, the made sailors knots
appearing to have gone out of fashion Pat
ent leather Oxford shoes with brown striped
hose and buttoned boots of the same leather,
with cloth uppers, are much affected. Morn
ing coats are all made to wear two or even
three buttons, buttoned and cut away sharp
from the lowest one, but the style is very diff,
ficult to adapt with good effect to many fig
ures. The latest styles of dress coats are no
ticeable for an entire absence of all angles,
the collar forming complete roll, usually
faced with silk, the lower front edge Of this
forepart, which is made without what is tech
nically called q ''back-strap, and the top and
bottom of the skirt being slightly and grace
fully rounded off, which gives the coat a.
lighter and more elegant appearance than the
propriate and consistent style of evening
dress for gentlemen SO much to. be desired.

THE Saratoga correspondent of the Boston
Globe, writing of the expenses of a season at
that place, says: 'As to the matter of outfit.
have heard several gentlemen of wealth say
this season that the cost of their daughters
wardrobe, including ornaments, was from
pa, 600 to $25, 900 and their expenses here
from $3.50 to $500 per week. This includes,
of course, carriages, footmen, etc., while
there was a few who sported four-in-hand,
who pay $1 ,00e per week for fun retinue.
the sales of wine alone at the four leading
hotels have thus far been about fifty thousand
dollars, to which add five dollars day to

How New York Sharpers Rope i'm
. .. '..'f GreemfeA. 4' . .'IfTF '.aI


While Frank Strauss, German, was sit
ting in the office OF French's Hotel last even
ing. says the New York Sun of September
4th, well-dressed stranger sat down beside
him and engaged him In conversation. In
the course of their talk the stranger learned
that Strauss had some money and was going
home to the old country to spend the remain
der OF his life. The stranger said that he
was German, too, and had wife in the
fatherland and was going over in the same
steamer with Strauss. He had thoroughly
gained the confidence of Strauss, when a
man came up and demanded pay for three
sewing machines that had been purchased
yesterday and sent on board the steamer.
The stranger took out a $1,000 United
States bond, saying he had only that with
him, but if he would call on him at French's
tomorrow morning he would have the money
to pay him. At this Strauss offered to take
the bond and let the stranger have the money.
AT first the stranger protested, but Strauss
urged him to take it, and he agreed to do so.
The stranger put the bond into an enyelop.
and Strauss stepped up to the bar and counted
out ten $50 gold pieces. The stranger handed
him the envelOp with the enclosure. After
ward they walked over to the Astor House.
where the stranger said he had an appoint
ment, telling Strauss to wait fer him on the
steps as he wouldn't be gone five minutes.
Strauss waited half an hour, but his friend
did not return. Suspecting that all was not
right, Strauss went Into the office and opened
the enyelop. Instead Of 3 United States bond
he found blank mortgage bond on the Bur
lington, Cedar Rapids and Minnesota Rail-
road, not worth cent. ''iH, '90. 'I'''7

says: 1T is impossible, at least it would be
folly, to deny that there has been a change
of tone, politically, since the Baltimore NOM
nations were made. We meet with more
resolute Grant Republicans. we meet, occa-
sionaiiy, with Grant Democrats, men who
cannot stomach and will not swallow Greeley,
and there are more of Our own political faith

formerly sold fifty 1rs5uRss (Gresiey) and
half that number Of 7vses (Grant) now re-
port the sales exactly reversed. These are
facts which must not be ignored. The tide
may possibly swing again before, election
