A Good Talker,

The " Monthly Gossip" in the Octo.
Der number of Lippincott's Magazine
contains this capital story:
Perhaps the most brilliant conyersa-
tlonalist that Virginia or the United
States ever produced was the late
Lyttleton Waiter Tazewell. Unfortu-
nately for his reputation as to consis
tency and firmness of opinion, his mind
was SO capacious and well stored that
1T was impossible for him not to see all
sides of any subject on which he con
versed, and hence it was not ALWAYS
easy-indeed, it was often extremely
dlfficult-tor his hearers to ascertain
what his real opinion was. In illustra,
ton of this popularity of Governor
Tazewell, the following anecdote is
told
When the notification trouble was
at It's height, Mr.. Calhoun sent Will
liam &. Preston to Richmond to sound
the first Governor Floyd, father of John
b. Floyd, Secretary of War under MIR.
Buchanan. as to what might be expect
ed of Virginia in case South Carolina
became involved in conflict with the
Federal Government. The question
being one OF great importance, and
Governor Floyd having the utmost con-
fidence III Governor TazewelTs iudg-
ment, the latter was summoned to the
State capital, and the conference took
place IN the executive mansion at night.

up surprised, " it is morning Floyd,

AN UNTERRIFIED YANKEE.
His Encounter with Robbers IN n Bed

La Pattia, of Florence, dated Sep
TENDER 3, 1872, gives long and inter
esting account of an encounter between
an American traveller and two robbers
in an Infamous resort known as the
Leone D'OrO, whittier the American

running from AncoDa to Foggia. The

with rough-looking persons, who i'm

After retiring he was aroused by noise
at the folding doors which separated

Mr.. Stuyvesant arose adjusted his pant
aloons and inspected his revolver and a

sound of footsteps in the adjoiring
apartment attracted his attention.
Pretending to sleep soundly Mr.. Stuy
vesant heard the folding doors gradu
ally drawn apart, and then the Whist
pering of mems voices beside his bed.
One said "Don't fear, he is asleep -
whereupoh the gas was lighted. Two
robbers of huge build and fierce express
sion met MIR. Stuyvesant's gaze. They
examined his valise, and, having search
ed his coat pockets, were about to take
a package of papers with them, when
the heroic foreigner bounded from his
bed and demanded an explanation. A
dagger wac instantly aimed at
him but the American disposed of his
assailant by shot which penetrated
the latter's shoulder blade The other
robber brahd1shed his stiletto furiously
and aimed a terrible blow at the stran-
gers heart, which he parted with his
right arm, receiving a simple flesh
wound. A blow from the brass knuck-
les, and another brought the villain to
the floor After number of roUShs

Autumn Voices.
BY LOUISA BUSHNELL.
THE LITTLE MAIDS SONG.

0 happy, happy, shining day!
The time to dance and sing and play
wish oply knew
Why all the clouds have gone te sleep,
And lie, like tiocks of lazy sheep,
Far up there on the blue.
The aster must be glad that mods
So CHEEKY to the golden rods;
Wide open is its eye:
And happy is the scarlet vine,
That runs along the dark green pine,
As if to reach the sky.
This afternoon, down at the brook,
A bright eyed squirrel stopped and took
A dozen little drinks;
Some nuts were lying at my feet,
He looked as il he thought them sweet,
And gave some knowing winks
Just then little leaf quite brown
Into the brook came rustling down.
And sailed off like a ship;
The squirrel gave his tail a whisk,
Then made a funny sideways -frisk,
And left me with skip.
There's red and yellow, green and pink,
And purple too, 1T makes me think
OF Joseph's little coat
The wood is in rainbow drest;
The hills are like robins breast,
Or like my pigeons throat.
Such pretty coIors everywhere!
Such pleasant feelings in the air
I'm glad gled can be.
Here, Rover, come, let's take a run,
And catch u goodnight from the sun
Behind the maple tree.

More of Grants 5 Nepotisn.

The Washington correspondent of
the New Y ork .World, alleges that an
extremely bad case of Presidential
nepotism has broken out in Kansas,
and from the circumstances alleged it
is one of the W orst that has been de-
Yeleped since the Grant family put on
the robes of royalty. Some time ago,
Charles III. Hayden was indicted at
Topeka, Kan, for robbery of the mail.
The evidence against the criminal is
said to have been ample, and the case
was to have come on in the winter
term of the United States Court, but
the tie of consanguinity was estab-
lished to the Presidents satisfaction,
when the latter ordered Attorney
General Akerman to direct the Dis
trict Attorney. of Topeka to discon-
tinue the case upon the restoration of
amount stolep by the criminal. The
following correspondence will further
explain the character OF this trans
action: siAi ioS4At 2 ga

The State COnyentiOn

We surrender much of our space
this week to the proceedings of the
Democratic State Convention, held in
Cleveland on Thursday last. No
apology is needed for this, as it was
one of the most important and re-
markable political bodies that ever
assembled in this State. We have at
tended many State Conventions, but
never saw one in which the proceed
ings were characterized by greater
spirit of harmony and concession, and
in which there was more enthusiasm
and confidence of success manifested
than in this. Although the Conven-
ton was called at season of the year
when the farmers are busy in the har-
vest field. and to meet in an unusual
place, upon the extreme northern
border of the State, every county but
one was represented, and large num-
bers of people who felt deep interest
in the result came up to witness the
deliberations. The spirit manifested
foreboded united action, and the eter-
nal wiping out of corruption, nepo-
tism, and centralized despotism..
The ticket nominated is in every
respect an excellent one, and worthy
the support of every Democrat and
Liberal Republican in the State. The
delegates to the Baltimore Convention
are men of character and standing,
who will faithfully represent the SEN
timents and interests of the Democ-
racy of the State in that body. gsi
.ss5i5 -----~se-.----N-
THE GRANTEES are counting largely
upon disaffection and adissensions in
the Democratic ranks to promote their
success in the coming contest. Their
only hope of salvation is based upon
the desire that there viii be a bolt in
the Democratic party, or that q suffi-
cient number OF Democrats will re-
fuse 10 support the nominees of the
Baltimore Convention to insure the
Reelection of the tyrant Grant. While
there are many who have opposed the
endorsement of Greeley and Brown
at Baltimore, we imagine the number
is few indeed who will give aid and
comfort to thcidespots by negiecting
to do everything in, their power to
compass their defeat in November.
THREE years ago Grant expressed a
longing desire for peace, and in his
recent letter of acceptance he reiter-
ates the hypocritical wish, His idea
of the means of securing this desirable
end may be gathered from the policy
of hate he has pursued in the past, and
from the fact that he and his partisans
.endeavored, by every possible means,
TO force through Congress at its last
session a law continuing the policyio of
hate, TO authorize Aimstoodeclare' mar
.tiahlaw at his pleasure, to arrest and
imprison any citizen of the land at his
own will, and suspend the writ of
habeas corpus, so as TO cut offthe VIC
Tins of his hate and oppression from
all redress. This is the kind Of peace
which another four years Of the Grant
policy is to bring us. 1900 3 sbam
