DANA's FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLAR CHARGE.-One of Dana's charg-
es, published in the New York Sun, is
that Secretary Robson and his friend
Cattell made some 100000 or $500, 900
in shipping brick to the Government at
San Francisco, Cal, from Philadelphia,
and that the Government lost the use of
the bricks beside, because they were all
pulyerized in making the voyage.
Since Dana could not throw any light
on the brick business it may as well be
laid before the readers of the Chronicle
now. 1t will serve to show just how
wide of the mark Dana has been shooting
all along.
Some time ago the Navy Department
ordered the commandant of the Philadel-
phia navy-yard to send any surplus ma
terial he might have at the yard to the
navy-yard at Mare Island, Cal. The
commandant had made out list of such
materials and sent it to the Department
for approval. The list was returned
properly indorsed, but a lew days after
ward the item of ten thousand bricks on
this list was noticed at the Department,
and the commandant was at once in
formed that this item had been overlook
ed, and that he should not ship them.
He had, however, placed the bricks in the
hold Of the vessel as ballast and the entire
cargo on top of them, and, on his state
ment that it would cost forty times as
much as they were worth to remove them
and reload the ship, they were shipped as
they were, via Cape Horn, to Mare Island.
They We're furnace brick, and two thou
sand of the ten thousand were broken on
the voyage. The Others were good. This
is the only shipment of bricks the Secre-
tary has had made, and the total cost to
the Government was just the insignificant
sum of Of one hundred and forty dollars.

IN a battle in one of the South Ameri-
can Republics, the defeated troops were
forced to swim river abounding with
monstrous crocodiles and poisonous SER
pents, and the men as they attempted to
swim across were seized by these mon
sters, who seemed more intent on slaugh-
ter than aught else. In few minutes
the river was swarming with reptiles, and
many bodies Of soldiers. frightfully mu-
tilated, were seen floating about or strew-
cd on the banks.

MY PLAYMATE.

The blossoms drifted at our feet,
The orchard birds sang clear,
The sweetest and the saddest day
1t seemed Of all the year.
For more to me than birds or flowers,
My playmate left her home
And took with her the laughing Spring
The music and the bloom.
She kissed the lips of kith and kin.
She laid her hand in mine;
What moro could ask the bashful boy
Who kept his fathers hineP
wonder if she thinks of them,
And how the old timo seems,
If over the pines of Ramoth wood
Are sounding in her dreams.
o, playmate, in tho golden time
Our messy seat is green,
Its fringing violets blossom yet,
The old trees o'er it loan.

NONE THE WoRsE.-A well-known
gentleman who had been out dining at a
friends, with his lady, driving home after
dinner, mistook the way, and made such
numerous bunders, that she began to fear
that her excellent spouse had taken more
wine than was wise. and she ventured to
hint the same. "Never you fear-fcar,
my d dd-dear," said he; "I'll get you home
all safe, if-if the h-h-hOrse only hotds
to0ether." lie wasn't the worse for
liquor not at all.

THE Count de Grasse was once wound
ed in the knee by musket ball. The
doctors cut and hacked and made many
incisions when, getting out of all pa
ticnce, the Count asked why they cut him
up so much. 1--WE are seeking for the
ball" said the surgeon. "Why in the
name Of the devil didn't you mention
that before? / have tho ball in my

Says the christian Advocate :" "Out of
an unwholesome love of display has grown
the intolerable expensiveness of living, which
has become subject of almost universal
complaint. To maintain family or keep a
house is no longer possible except to favor
ed few whose annual incomes are reckoned
by thousands. Hence the idea of a home has
grown to he old fashioned, matter of mem
DRY Of former times and remote places. Fam
lilies board at hotels, or live in apartments
and feed at the restaurants; while young
men avoid marriage as luxury quite beyond
the reach of their income, a condition of So
ciety that indicates far-gone state of moral
decay. Still others, struggling to respond to
the vicious demands of fashionable life adopt
all possible means to increase their gains
They urge themselves onward to the most
painful efforts in business; they embark in
hazardous adventures, OF, finding opportuni-
ties, they are tempted to inappropriate what
ever may have been intrusted to them. To
the vicious prodigality of the times, more
than any other cause, must be charged the
fearful prevalence of criminal procedures in
all sorts of money matters.

If there were any doubts in relation to
the course Senators Schurz and Trumbull
would pursue in the coming campaign,
they have been brushed away in the re-
cent debate. These two Senators now
stand sef.confessed enemies to the repub-
lican party. From their own lips we
know that they are going as Doolittlc
went, and have only concealed their pur-
pose to do the greater execution upon the
republican party. All the attacks which
they have made upon the administration
are now accounted for How much solici-
tude they could have had for the party
they intended to betray is now developed.
They have pressed measures ostensibly for
the publication and good of the republican
party, while really their only purpose was
to destroy it. In one hand they carried
professions of friendship tor the party and
in the other concealed dagger to take its
life. In stripping the veil Of hypocrisy
from these two gentlemen the debate has
been of substantial service.

The labor reformers. by making their
nominations at this early day, have taken
the wind out of the sails of the liberal re-
publicans. 1t was the intention of the
liberals to sweep the labor reformers into
their net and make them support their
candidate, but the nomination of Judge
Davis has prevented that arrangement.
The only chance for union of the two
factions now is for the liberals to accept
the nomination of Davis. But this they
will not probably do. He is not the man
of their choice, would not be available,
and taking him at the hands of the labor
reformers would give the latter the lead
and advantage. Since Mr.. Trumbull's
speech endorsing the liberal platform he is
the most prominent candidate for them
and will doubtless be nominated by them,
but with Davis in the field the liberal vote
will be diminished and reduced to insig-
nificant proportions.

The Palmyra Journal illustrates some of
the strong points" made against Grant as
follows: "Grant smokes; Grant likes horses;
Grant goes to church; Grant goes to Long
Branch; Grant is good to relatives; Grant
don't talk much to fools; Grant don't look
like hero; Grant plays with children, Grant
played the ID with Lee; Grant says just
enough and dries up; Grant is an ''unexcep-
tionable President" And for these and
similar heinous crimes the democracy don't
like Grant. Sad.

A very novel business has sprung up at
Fremont, Ohio, this winter-that of quarry
froze up the water was low, and the intense
cold has frozen it to the bottom, and for sew
eral inches the sand is as hard as sand stone.
All that persons who intend to build have to
do, is to engage teams and hands and help
themselves. 1t is said to have been a saving
of many hundreds, even thousands of dollars
to those who intend to build next spring and
summer.

AT a masquerade ball recently given in
Glasgow, Scotland, an officer of inland reve-
nue. managed to obtain admission, disguised
as one of the walters, and took list of the
names of all who appeared in powdered wigs.
He has since assessed them for double tax for
wearing powder without a license, there be-
ing tax of S. per annum for the privilege
of wearing powder on the head in Great Brit
ain.

A female root and herb doctor at Detroit,
Michigan, recently solicited the privilege of
curing paralytic. She ordered the patient S
undershirt taken off and burned to ashes,
and the ashes given him in small doses, and
also rubbed on his chest. 1t is fact that the
man soon recovered, and is free to think that
her queer remedies cured him.

| The undersigned, constituting the National Com
mittee designated by the Convention held at Chca.
go on the goth OF May, 1865, hereby call conven-
ton of the Union Republican party at the city of
Philadelphia, on Wednesday, the 5th day of June
next, at Il O'Clock noon for the purpose OF nominat-
ing candidates for the offices of President and Vice.
President of the United States.
Each State is authorized to be represented in the
Convention by delegates equal to twice the number
of Senators and Representatives TO which it Will be
entitled in the next National Congress, and each
organized Territory is authorized to send two del
egates.
In calling this Convention, the Committee remind
the country that the promises of the Union Republic
can Convention of 1865 have been fulfilled. The
States lately in rebellion have been restored to
their former relations 10 the Government The
laws of the country have been faithfully executed,
public faith has been preserved, and the national
credit firmly established. Governmental economy
has been illustrated by the reduction at the same
time of the public debt and of taxation; and the
funding of the national debt at lower rate of in
terest has been successfully inaugurated. The
rights of naturalized citizens have been protected
by treaties, and immigration encouraged by liberal
provisions. The defenders of the Union have been
gratefully remembered, and the rights and interests
OF labor recognized. Laws have been enacted and
are being enforced, for the protection of persons
and property in all sections. Equal suffrage has
been engralted on the National Constitution; the
privileges and mmunties of American citizenship
have become part of the organic law, and a lib.
eral policy has been adopted toward all who en-.
gagged in the rebellion. Complications in foreign re.
latioDs have been adjusted in the interest of peace
throughout the world, while the national honor has
been maintained. Corruption has been exposed,
offenders punished, responsibility enforced, safe
guards established, and nov, as heretofore the
Republican party stands pledged to correct all
abuses and carry out all reforms necessary to main
tain the purity and efficiency of the public service.
To continue and firmly establish its fundamental
principles we invite the cooperation of all the citi.
zens of the United States.
