The Emperor william.

A Dresden letter to the New York
Post says:
The Emperor of United Germany
lost his stick the other day, and ad-
vertised for it in the daily newspapers,
as any old burgher might do J.; tri-
fling fact, which indicates the finest
trait of the German character-per-
feet simplicity. The old sovereign
had attached himself to that stick,
which was given him by an Alsatian
peasant on his return from the war.
In his private room may be seen many
such tributes of affection, carefully
preserved among others, q little
white silk flag which once decorated
a mighty cake presented to the En-
peror by an old woman. That heart
must be genial which he can open to
small things like these he that holds
the baton of mighty empire is all
the higher for esteeming the gift of
peasants walking-stick.
The Emperor William may not be
made of that stern stuff of which his
ancestor was made who went about
Berlin, rattan in hand, frightening the
apple-women at the street corners
and rebuking lazy workmen; but to
his energy and pertinacity of purpose
Germany owes her presentgreatness.
There was but one voice throughout
Europe when, after Sedan, he pushed
forward to besiege Paris-men cried
out that it was a mistake Germans,
proud of their national victories, now
shook their heads, convinced that
this was false move; but the King
never fiinched and there, on the con-
secrated soil of France, he was pro-
claimed the Imperial Cesar of re-
vived German empire
A curious fact, GpropoS of the
present subject, was related to me by
a gentleman who visited Versailles
during its occupation by the Ger
mans. Most of the great marshals
Of France are represented at the
chateau by marble statues. In his
wanderings about the buildings look
ing at these, my informant descended
at last to a ground floor, where, in an
obscure corner, he discovered a statue
of Frederick the Great. "Old Fritz"
stands there still, l believe, but i
wonder the Emperor of Germany did
not insist upon the return of the
hero's sword, which the first Napo-
leon stole from off his tomb at Pots
dam

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, Oct. |, 1872.

WASHINGTON, Oct |, 1872
EX-GOVERNOR CURTIN coUcHANT
A desperate effort is being made
here to bolster up the waning cause
of Greeley by counting largely on the
detection of Ex-Governor Curtin and
his letter in favor Ofthe Democratic
candidate for Governor of Pa. A fig
ure in the calculations is missed when
they count upon his declarations in
favor of a Democrat. His greatest
influence arose from favors shown to
the soldiers as a Republican Govern
or. The soldiers having already
spoken at Pittsburgh with no uncer-
tain voice; his sickly souring ON his
party friends at the eleventh hour of
the campaign will not affect fifty votes
at the election on Tuesday ofnexr
week. He will have some sympathy
as physical and political invalid,
but, as to changing the tide which has
set in for the triumphant election of
Gen. Hartranft, the thing is absurd
Among the knowing ones of the oppo-
position who affect to take a grain of
comfort from his letter, it is acknowl-
edged as too late a conversion for
any practical utility in October.
Besides his withholding his support
OF either Presidential candidate shows
such pitiable weakness Of the head,
that his letter falls dead upon all ears,
and so must all utterances from him,
under such constraint as that nice non
committal poise he proposes.
PURCHASE OF LIBERAL" SENTIMENTS,
Carl Schurz, that one priced orator,
is not attracting so much attention
here as he formerly did His engage |
ment in the campaign of Pennsylva-
MIA is chronicled, together with the
reduction of$lOO on his previous terms,
of the $3.50, paid him for political
speech just prior to the Maine election.
$3.50. is quite as much as the Pa.
Liberals can afford to pay. But Sc
riously, and aside from partisan feel !
ing, can there be anything so humilia-
ting to American sentiment as the spec
tacle of U. S. Senator hired to ex-
press his political views for so much
per hour The purchase of Hassurek
in the Jumps is more preferable. No
confidence can be reposed in these
paid expressions, and hence we find
him in Philadelphia pleading for the
election of Buckalew on the ground
that this will insure the election of

asked General Lee for Spottsylvania,
and the old lion, covered with gore,
sullenly withdrew from his intrench-
ments, leaving two Generals and 5000
men prisoners of war, eighteen guns
and twenty-five battle flags. He
asked for Five Forks, and took the
field and over 5000 prisoners Of war
He asked for Petersburg, audreceived

asked General Lee for what remained
of his veteran army, and received 27.-
sos prisoners of war, with all their
warlike material.
How did this young Caesar behave
himself in this supreme triumph!
what is the testimony Of Colonel Mos
by, that daring guerilla chief? Sure
ly, he says, mo conquerer ever bore
himself more magnanimously to d
vanquishcd foe than did Grant when
he returned his sword to Lee and
bade him go in peace. The cove
nant made that day has been sacredly
kept. For him there was no triumph

tory, to humble his conquered foe.
lie was no Achilles, to drag the body
of his enemy around the walls Of the
conquered city Suffice it for him to
know that his work, in which he had
thrown his whole soul, was accom-
plished, and be was willing to drop
the curtain on the scene"
There was another passage between
these great chiefs grander still Lee
informed Grant that his cavalrymen
had furnished their own horses.
Grant replied: "Let them keep their
horses; they will need them to till
their fields.r 1t was q simple and
sublime prophecy of q future and en-
during peace: General Lee, the war
is over. Let us beat our swords in
to plowshares, and our spears into
pruning-hooks, and learn war no more,
and let these soldiers till their fields ;"

bow-tinted stars that shone and twink

eyes became accustomed to their
light he saw that every star contain

was the picture which gave the

He approached, lifted it from the
chair, and drew it around his majes-
tic figure. As he did so peace and
happiness of purity and depth un-

within and reinvigorate his soul A
joyful light was in his eyes as be

the cottage porch. He beheld the
sun once again STOPPING to the sea,
which lay breathlessly awaiting him,
and across it's bosom he saw the gol-
den path which seemed to invite him
onward. And onward he went, with
great hope increasing in his heart.
And now he deserted two shining
figures advancing down the dazzling
way to meet him. Nearer and nearer
they came, growing more marvelously
beautiful at every step; but, in spite
of the brightness, Lionel needed not
to shade his eyes, for he himself was
well-nigh as resplendent as they. As
they approached they held out to him
their beautiful white hands, and each
took one of his, and kissed him on
the forehead and the eyes. So they
all three went up the golden road to-
gether-his mother and his sister on
either side, and Lionel between them,
and as they drew near the end of the
pathway Lionel heard a grand and
mighty sound Of music and singing,
which seemed to come from afar be-
vond the sea. Then he stood upon
the uttermost brink and looked for

Mapping Horses.

a kentuckian and a Yankee were
once riding through the woods, the
former on fine black horse. and the

latter wanted to make ''swop,n but
he did not see how he was to do it.
At last he thought of a plan. His
horse had been taught to sit down
like dog whenever he was touched
by the spurs. Seeing wild turkey.
the Yankee made his horse perform
the trick, and asserted that he was
pointing his game, as was his Gus

direction indicated by his horses

settled the matter; the trade was
made, and saddles and horses were
changed.
After a time they came to a deep
and rapid stream, over which the
black horse carried the rider with
ease But the Kentuekian, on the
Yankees old beast, found great diff

THE OLD WHITE HAT.
BY FOB JENNINGS.

When this old hat was new, my boys,
The Democrats swore freely,
And day and night, with great delight,
They damned Horace Greeley.
But now change has o'er them come,
The like l never saw,
They now are wearing Greeley hats,
And shouting Chappaqua,
Charles Summers now patriot,
A statesman tried and true,''
But Bully Brooks broke Summers head,
When this old hat was new.
The Democrats all cried we'll done,
And said he'd got his due.
And swore they'd hang old Greeley next,
When this Old Hat was new.
When this Old Hat was new, my boys,
Dan Voorhees, was the man,
Whose tall proud form to victory led
The Democratic clan.
But now they have ruled Daniel out,
They say he will not do
Because he stands right where he stood
When this old hat was new.
But Daniel will not stand the storm;
He soon will come to 'staw,"
lie yet will sing the sweetest strains,
The song Of Chappaqua.
When this Old Hat was new, my boys,
The very air was rent
With shouts from Democratic throats,
For white mans government"
But now they are for equal rights,
To every race and hue,
They turned their backs on all they said,
When this Old Hat was new.
But still it does seem strange to me,
'Tis hard to think so really,
That Hendricks should be shovel aside,
For nigger-loving Greeley,
For Hendricks was n Democrat
To his party always true,
And Greeley was It's direst foe,
When this Old Hat was new.
But let us take cur dish of dirt,
And try and put it through,
And turn our backs upon the past,
When this Old Hat was new.
And when we get old Greeley in,
Wen send him to that shore,
Where Harrison, Taylor and Lincoln's 3
before.
And then with Gratz and cousin Frank.
And all of the Blair crew,
Wen soon restore the days Of yore,
When this Old Hat was new.

BLIND MUsrcIANs.-A grand musical enter
tainment will be given at Music HILL on Monday
evening next by J. NJ Wood, blind vonist. and
Miss Ella Moran, blind vocalist and pianist as
sisted by Ignacio Brown and the local talent of
Auburn. This will be most mertorious and
entertaining performance, and should draw
crowded house. Miss Moran is, though blind, an
educated lady, a sweet singer and instrumental
musician. She was here year ago and elected
great applause. Mr.. Wood, being deprived of
sight, and having family to support, and being
a most proficient violinist seeks this honest
mode of furnishing edifcaton and enjoyment to
the public to gan an honest and honorable sup
port. Much of the musical talent of Auburn
have volunteered their services to aid in the en-
tertainment and the worthy benetciares. The
price of admission is but 80 and for children 25
cents. We shall look for good house, because
the people of Auburn like enjoyment, and are
always liberal to the meritorious and unfortunate
CEDAR MINE SoLD.-We learn that our old
friend j. r. Nickeson has sold his mine, located
near Bear river, for $3.50, 900. This is heap of
money, but the Cedar is monster ledge and u
promising mine. We have been unable to find a
positive verifcation of this statement, but know
that Mr. Nckerson had been offered 500. 900
for the mine, and refused it. We hope that the
sale has been made, not that the mine is not
worth more, but because Uncle Jimmy Nick will
not let the money rust or relax in energy or
public spirit. The mine is about eight miles
from here and has been patented.
AUBURN MINING CoMPANY.-Articles of incor
poration of the above company were filed in the

distant snow-clad mountains in view, reminded
me of Capt Halls expedition, and whistling

lis here the young and budding mind, with
laboring thought first treads the misty laby-
rinth of a Is G. Here our mental giants alas
how few, how far between, first essayed their
strength and breathed their mighty aspirations.
But We came not here to moralize, but to enjoy
the pleasures OF the day, and having romped to
our hearts content, the green sward was protein
porizsd our dining table, the sweeping dome of
the azure skies bending to meet the distant hill
tops our hall; and with methodist preacher to
lead the charge, the yellow legs disappeared as
if they had struck Chinese camp on new years
day. After doing full justice to the viands, and
complimenting the ladies an their culinary skill,
the music with its luxurious strains arose, the
dancers tripped through the gay quadrille and
stately lancers. Our Rev. friend looked on COM
placently, and thus we-passed the pleasant time
until the long shadows reminded us of home,
when we departed well satisfied with the first
picnic of the season. QUIp NUNc.
