f9- There is some agitation of the
waters in the first Congressional dis
trict in this State. The Republicans
have put forth their strongest man
ia the person of Hon G. G.. Williams,
Of Rock, and as the district is over-
whelmingly Republican, the opposi-
ton are hot in pursuit of q Dolly
Warden candidate. AS the Demo-
cratic instinct is always on the scent
of money, the first proposition was
20 introduce Hon. j. l. Case, of Ra-
cine, to allow himself to be feeced by
hord of politicians. But the latest
information is to the effect that Mr..
Case docs not see it in that light, and
declines to pay his money for the
doubtful honor Of being badly beaten
IN the canvass Hon. /. Q. Sloan has
also been appealed to on the same
| subject, but has too much sense TO
allow himself to be used for that pur-
pose. Indeed, it is not certain that
Sloan will support Greeley at all, al.
though be is reported to be inclined
to do so. He represented the old
Second district in Congress for two
terms,and is a man Of unquestioned
integrity and ability, but if he runs,
he will be beaten out Of sight. As
for Hoh. John f. Potter, whom the
Ne'0S has spoken Of as in sympathy
with the Cincinnati movement; he is
as sturdy a Republican to-day as he
was VIXEN he stood upon the floor OF
of the House Of Representatives a
dozen years ago to defy Southern
bullies, like Roger A. Pryor, and vim
dicate speech and the courage OF
Northern men at the same time
And so the political auctioneers in
the first district arc still crying out,
"whO bids ?"-4Mll0aukee Sentinel

tFrom the Boston Advertiser, June 29th)
Mr.. Bonner, Of New York, can
again be happy in the possession of
the fastest trotter in America. His
famous horse 10. Elliot, which has
been at the Mystic Park in Boston
for the past few weeks, on ths 10Th
ult. earned the proud distinction Of
making mile in less time than any
other horse in the country. For sew
eral days he has been regularly test.
ed, and on Wednesday he accom- r
plished his mile in 2:18. To-day
Goth ult.,) he did still better, maxi
ing the distance in 2:l53, which
stands as the fastest time on record.
The ribbons were held by Jack Bow
en-, who has had the horse in trains
ing, and Of course 10. Elliot was sent
to the best advantage. The one
quarter poll was passed. and was
noted there in thirty-four and a quar-
ter seconds, and by the half in 1:07i
With a grand stride he came down
the homestretch and under the wire
in 2:154. The Judges were G. Chase,
Albert Worcest er, Lon Morris, w.
W. Comes and b. S. Wright.
All of these gentlemen timed the
horse, and, with one exception, their
record was 2:15!. The timer who
differed gave HIM the mile in 2:I4a,
but it was decided to record the
slowest time indicated. The follow
ing telegram has been sent to Mr..
Bonner

The Monroeville Huron county,
Ohio Spectator says: "At the fin
ishing Of the old Mad River & Lake
Erie Railroad, William Cowel was a
prominent contractor who had had the
confidence of the company for several
months before the completion of that
part between Sandysky and Bellevue.
He had also the confidence of lis work
hands, always paying punctua,ly at
estimate" as the pay day was then
called. When he went from Margar-
eta to Norwalk for his last payment
on final settlement, his money was
stolen and the thief locked up in the
county Jail. Public sentiment was
now against Cowel. AS he owed sew
eral hundred dollars and was tran
sient person, it was believed that he
was willing to be robbed in order to
defraud his creditors. Few believed
to the conarary, and sold their claims
at great sacrifice. A few weeks be-
fore this he had married the daughter
of Mr.. McKisson, one of the old set
tiers of the township, living at this
time about seven miles from San
dusky, on the railroad. While the
excitement was at it's highest pitch,
Mr.. Cowel compromised with the
thief, by which his money was restor-
ed, and he returned to his wife, who
yet lived with her father. In a few
days he was missing. He was last
seen on his way to the Seven Mile
House, in company with the man who
had stolen the money. All was now
plain. Il told you So came from the
knowing ones, and many good people
commented on the general depravity
Of the human race and strangers in
particular. The matter died away ex-
cept in the mind Of the devoted wife,
who declared herself to be widow,
and that she had lost a good man.
Time passed on and the thief aforesaid
was called to his final account, and on
his death-bed he confessed that he had,
thirty years before, murdered Cowel
and buried his body in the sand hill
which is situated near the Seven Mile
House,

this was being done by one worker The
other seemed to alternate tho work by
depressing the chest Assiduously
these two silent men worked on; not
a word was spoken or scarce an utter
ancc given, unless from the enlivening
hulk that lay before them. Ever and
anon a movement Of some part of the
body before them would attract atten-
ton. At last the first worker, taking
a vial from his pocket, pourd a few
drops in the mouth of the subject
He seemed satisfied, for he stopped his
work, and putting his hand on the
heart, remarked, "it beats naturally"
A few moments longer AID another
application from the bottle, and the
subject spoke audibly, and in reply to
questions, gave a full account of the
occurrence during what were suppos-
ed to be his last moments. Hanging
he said was rather pleasant than other
wise, for after the first spasmod C
struggle for breath, delightful tick
ling sensation followed his veins to the
tips of his limbs. Consciousness
seemed to lose itself very gradually,
and for time, portion of the brain
seemed to retain its vitality. Tie
happiest moment of lifetime was
centercd in dream at that instant. i
Feeling, and all thoughts of the oc-
currences about him, went with his
efforts for breath, and at last darkness
clouded the remainder of his mind
From that moment until he found him
self in the hands of science, he knew
nothing. Our informant, for lack of
lime, promises further development
or our next weeks issue; meanwhile
he attention of the authorities will be
'alled to these facts

upon a Philadelphia publisher and left
the manuscript of "Whitc Rocks"

examining the same to publish the
book and pay the author 10 cents for
every copy sod. The book has been
sold to the extent of 10000 copies,
and the publishers hold $4,000 for
the author, but it has never been call
ed for, nor has the boy ever been seen
by the firm since the day the contract

less by accident; then he is invariably
courteous and polite. An overseel
and family live in one part of the house
but they like the ownerJ are very re-
ticent, and will tell nothing of his hab-
its and purposes. The village post
master will tell you that letters are
sent to and received from Longfellow,
Whittier, Tennyson, Bryant, Emerson,
and even Carlyle. He will tell you,
with mysterious shakings of the head,
that the old man in the red house will
yet fill the world with his fame. Years
ago an old man went upon visit to
this hermit, and was obliged to spend
the night near his residence. He an
nounced that the her nit was writing
an epic poem that would have fifty
years labor ere 1t was complete should
he live so Long, Other facts confirm
this staten ent. George w. Curtis, of

Dickens made his last visit to this

the home of Emerson, in Concord,
Mass. Some of the most distinguih-
ed men in literature were present, and
among them was this old man, who
was deemed unworthy of front seat
at the Church yesterday morning He
has been frequent and welcome guest
of Bryant and Longfellow. The mys-
terry of his life, his close intimacy with
these great men, his extensive CORES

with literature, all indicate that per-

nges. His physio.ynomy is intellectual,
and his converse ton is said to be par
Iicularaly engaging. At the request

here is hope that all these long years
If mysterious and quiet labor, in that
title farmhouse of dingy red, and

thinkers of the land, will eliminate in
some great work that will live through

he states it.
Rosa Rand was from Ashtabula
county, Ohio. She left home about
two years ago, went to New York,

since that time has been engaged with

master of the circus. When asked
by reporter yesterday when and
where they were married, he stated
hesitatingly, with the show, about
eight weeks ago." He subsequently
informed his attorney, however, that
they had not been married, but intend
ed to be soon. They had been living
together as man and wife.

ENnaimy Emigration.

Tn spring emigration of Germans
has commenced, and from the report
Of Hamburg papers is likely to be
very large. The movement from
Mecklenberg is said to be Of such a
remarkable character that many vii
lagos are likely to be depopulated.-
pt is stated that, besides the Germans,
numerous Swedish servants and labor
crs employed in Germany have emf
grated, and very few from Sweden
have arrived TO. take their places. The
German element in the United States
is increasing relatively faster than any
other, and the increase appears likely
to prevail during the coming year
The majority of this hardy race seek
the West, and work west, while some
few Of them remain in New York and
others go South.

Mistress Of the Seas on her own Gle.
ment, and in 1872 third-rate power
like Spain threatens to blockade our
ports, and has the power to do so.-
Our commercial marine has been pro-

proper is of about as much practical
value as "a painted ship upon paint

this state Of affairs, he should be dis
missed from the position he has dis

The Colorado Miner says: 1t has

most inexhaustable mineral wealth the
soil of Eastern Siberia couceals, and
that in the district of the River
Amoor, Russia possesses gold field
which explorers of those parts are in
clined to consider the richest in the
world.
Gold washing and gold digging are
giong on in the tributaries of the Rus.
soChinese frontier streams and their
valleys, and repay the persons employ
ed in 1t so abundantly that labors earn
from fifty to one hundred and fifty rou-
bles in silver per day, and companies of
diggers on the Oukalouta find, as n
rule, from seven to eight, but ir some
cases as much as seventy and even one
hundred pounds of gold per dav.-
The river Sega is still more produc.
tive, and yielded to one company one
hundred and seventy ponds in one
day. These two rivers are the richest,
but by no means the only gold pro-
ducing tributaries of the AMOR
biologists have found that the Table
ma Mountains, from which the river
Sega springs, contain various kinds of
mineral treasures-gold, silver and
great masses of iron, which
