THURSDAY. JULY II, 1874


The Baltimore convention has done what
everybody expected. 1t has made Horace
Greeley the democratic candidate for the presi-
deucy, only A of the delegates voting against
him. AntiGreeley delegates were suppressed
in some of the delegations, by the adoption of a
rule which did not allow votes TO be cast con-
irary TO the will of the majority; but this did
nor affect the result, for the Greeley men were
Sufficiently numerous TO have it all their own
way without much effort. The result had been
foreordained by the managers; the convention
was their voting machine, and it did the work
appointed with admirable precision. No man
in that convention, no man among its mana
gers, believes Greeley is fit to be president of
the United States. They nominated him be-
cause they have persuaded themselves that he
will enable the democrats TO carry the election
and control the government. and because they
care for nothing but the offices and power to
carry out the threat Of Gov. Vance, namely,
" that the South shall be made Sodom and
Gomorrah TO northern men, when the OPPOSE
tion shall have obtained power"
If the Baltimore convention had nominated
Charles Francis Adams, with or even without
Cincinnati endorsement, they would have made
the result of this presidential election doubtful
So far as we know, not one of the other gentle
men named for nomination has been thought of
by republicans, as an opposing candidate, with
the slightest degree apprehension. The demo-
Gratis have abundanty confessed the impossi-
bility of electing any man heretofore connected
with their party but. in their intrigue to secure
some reformed republican" as a candidate, they
have been chiefly intent on getting man whom
they could be sure OF managing easily and, in
this respect, they have believed with good rea-
son. that Mr.. Greeley was precisely what they
wanted. Mr.. Adams has all those qualifica-
tions for the presidency which Mr.. Greeley lacks.
So far as concerns ability, character, personal
fl illness and knowledge ofpubic affairs, he is adj
mirably qualified for the office. But he is one
OF those men who can not be managed or used
by others; therefore, the democra attic managers
were afraid of him, and his nomination was
made impossible. They preferred David Davis
or Horace Greeley TO a man who was fit to be
nominated and elected; and, the result of this
intrigue is that they have Greeley.
The anti-Greeley democrats who will not vote
for Greeley and Brown, held meeting in the
hall of Maryland Institute, after the nominations
were made, issued an address to "the democracy
of the country" and took measures for holding
another convention, at Louisville, on the third
day of September The chair was authorized
to appoint committee of one from each state
to make arrangements for this convention. How
much this movement viii effect, is not clear;
but we suspect that the silent democratic oppo-
sition TO Greeley, that which will conine its ac-
tion to voting against him, or refusing 10 vote
for him, will be more extensive than that which
will be organized by this convention.

"a FELLOW BY THE NAME OF HOLMES. I'm
1913, says a correspondent of the Free Press,
Abe Lincoln" as he was then called, came to
bloomington, Ill.,, about sixty miles from his
home in Springfield, to defend an aged father in
Islander suit brought by his son. The old
mans spouse, a second wife, and not altogether
sanity in the estimation of her step-son, had
spoken severely of the step-sOn's wife, and he
prosecuted for Islander, as was supposed by some
more TO get the old mans money than to keep
peace in the family They had gone through
the evidence, and Lincoln made the closing
speech. As he approached the close he called
the father to his side before the jury, and spoke
OF the unnatural aspect there presented in Il
man of these gray hairs defending himself
against the conduct of his child. Raising his
hand higher than that frosted head, he sum
moned the spirit of the departed mother TO con-
sole the defendant in these unmerited sorrows
TO shield him in these days when he needed
some requital of affection from the assault OF
their thankless child. Her spirit of love is all
that remains to him now. For
1.-THE messy marbles rest
On the lips that he has pressed
In their bloom;
And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many year
On the tomb"
These lines fitted in like an exquisite piece OF
mechanism. The case was gained. A witness
of the scene who reports the case saws that nj
the close he asked, "Mr. Lincoln, who was the
author of those lines you repeatedly" "Oh,'i
said he, "it was fellow by the name Of
Holmes" This "fellow by the name of
Holmes" had become pretty widely known six
teen years after, when Mr.. Lincoln took up his
abode in the White House; but the lines which
had helped the lawyer so well in gainiug his
case clung to the memory of the president, who
was accustomed to Iefer to '"The Last Leaf" as
ineXpressibly touching, and those six lines spe-
cially as the finest in the English language for
true pathos.

Among the numerous discrowned sovereigus
in Europe is the ex-king of Araucania, that
country bordering ON Peru and Chill which the
Spaniards failed TO conquer, so fierce and war
like were its people, and which has maintained
its independence to the present day. The ex-
king, like other monarchs out of business,
claims that he is unjustly dispossessed of his
throne; but, as he was not hereditary sOver
cign, he has no private fortune to retire upon,
nor does he consider living upon charity or by
imposture more honorable than earning his
bread. He contrives, therefore, to get a living
by editing a newspaper. His name is Orehe
Antoine Tonneius, which has no suggestion of
royalty in it. He is a native of France, and a
solicitor by profession, but went 10 South Amer
lea to seek his fortune, and found, what few adj
venturers nowadays do find, kingdom. He
was elected king by the Araucanlans in 1861,
and assumed the title Of 0relc Antoine
|. He gave his subjects a constitution like
that of France, and in various ways endeayored
to establish close relations with his native couu
try. This displeased the Chilians, who made
war upon him, and had the good fortune to cap
ture him. He was put in prison for safe keep
ing, and the French diplomatists tried to nego-
tate his release. But while they were eXchang-
ing notes, he found quicker way out by means
of a file. He was recaptured, however, and this
time declared lunatic and confined in an
asylum, but after time set at liberty on condi-
ton of embarking at once for Europe. Since
that time he has lived at Paris and edited his
newspaper in peace. He is brought into notice
just now by the fact that he lately published a
challenge to his successor, the reigning monarch
OF Araucania, who is also Frenchman by birth
and former friend of orelie, to decide their
title TO the throne by duel with lassoes, "the
national weapon of Araucania," TO be fought on
Christmas day next in the Bots de Vincennes.
Ii is possible that the challenge may be accepted
and the Parisians would be greatly entertained
by such a novel contest for crown; but they
are not anticipating it with much confidence.

How TO WASH SUMMER SuITs.-Summer
suits are nearly all made of white or buff linen,
pique, cambria or muslin, and the art of pre-
serving the new appearance after washing is a
matter OF the greatest importance. Common
washerwomen spoil every thing with soda, and
nothing is more frequent than to see the deli
cate tints of lawns and peracles turned into
dark blotches and muddy streaks by the ieno.

washed according to the directions which
they should be prepared to give
their laundresses themselves. In the first
place, the water should be tepid, the

water in which hay has been boiled, or a quart

for starch as well, and is excellent for print
dresses of all kinds; but handful of salt is
