The brain of a horse seems to en-

on his tongue, will often succeed in
turning his attention to the taste in
his mouth.

Lieutenant Governor Pinchback
[From the Galveston Representative

From the Galveston Representative
Lieut.. Governor Pinchback is more
than an ordinary representative OF his
party. Though not equal in political
acumen to his more subtle coadjutor,
IL. G. Warmoth, yet in all that con-
stitutes well wisher of his race and
party he is a worthy compeer of many
of his more experienced and Older
politicians. Brains, brains are want
ing in this hour of evil turmoil, and
Mr.. Pinchback does not lack in this
essential of manhood. No one who
has read his last speech i'll the Legis-
lative halls of Louisiana but must be
thoroughly convinced that he fully un-
derstands the leading questions of the
day. Should the Southern born peo-
pie extend to hisrace the same political
freedom they themselves enjoy; should
they concede all that the civil rights
bill accords to all citizens of the
Union should they politically recog-
nize the absolute freedom in speech
and action of people of his own color,
and cast aside many of the old preju-
dices engendered by the slave laws of
his country, he is willing to pledge
himself for his race that they will walk
in fellowship with their Southern
brethern, and vote down those aspir-
ants for office who have lived, lied, ,and
promised, to the injury of both races,
and when asked for justice and patron
age, have turned their backs upon
Southern born men, be they white or
colored. 1t is evident that this man
of understanding spoke by authority,
and in dead earnest. He would cheer
fully and gratefully turn to those who
had been born on the soil of his native
South, if thep would only meet him
half way, and feel toward his race as
Christian men should feel toward eael
other, whose strength formed and ma
tured by the same elements of life
warmed by the same genial cline ,ano
lighted by the lustrous rays OF the
Southern sun. The instincts of this
man are truly Southern, but he wants
resting place for his race upon Sc
cure basis, and he finds it not on thu
mountain of false promise, brough
/ from foreign States, unenyiabie Al
| they are transient.

Palace Apartments of the Cars
Children.
From the Overland Monthly ]

FIOHl Tic OfGIIstAu 01OulIty
Alexander, the present heir-appa-
rent, with his beautiful wife, Princess
Maria Sophie, and their children oc-
cupy a section considerably removed
from the apartments of the Empress.
They are fitted up with great taste
and appropriateness, but among them
all, the nursery for the children was
most interesting. It was lofty,
large, and handsome room, with little
furniture, but containing a good sup
ply of toys. There were carts, hobby
horses, sentry-boxes, sledges, wheel
harrows and soldiers; there were also
dolls, furniture, cradles, wardrobes,
china, bowls, ewers, knives and forks
all of playthings size and quality.
1t seemed pleasant in a palace, where
selfishness and coldness are supposed
to be at home, to find that the good
natured Czarwich and his womanly
and wise wife had one sacred spot,
wholly their own, in which holy feel
ings were nurtured and grew, and
where these inheritors of greatness
can forget, for n season, the artificial
existence by which they are sur
rounded.
The room appropriated to the
| Grown Prince and the Grand Duke
Alexis, and in which they grew up
from boyhood to manhood, is shown
to strangers. 1t is large, is fitted as a
study, and contains everything which
| a Russiant--or any other-prince could
require, aud some things WHICH many
princes make but little use of. There
are swords, firearms, military ac-
coutrements, models Of every kind,
and some books. These boys, like
all their countrymen, we're familiar
lied with war, and learned much OF
its theory here. Each had a high
writing desk, at which he either sal
or stood. The stools in use have the
seats made like saddles so that the
student must mount and sit with feet
in stirrup. Thus, perhaps, he gets
on faster than if he used common
stool, since it requires No great stretch
of imagination to make him, at least
believe that he writes carre1lte calGn,o
There was huge model of an iron
clad ship-of-war here, occupying q
whole side of the room, SO completely
and beautifully rugged that the boy
could sit at home and become pro.
found in the use of nautical phrases
and familiar with all a ships gear
Altogether, this room was of par
amount interest, because it not only
showed how the dukes had been edU
Gated, but the wisdom and pains tha
had been taken in doing it.

enough for black bootblack to have
one boot blacked and he didn't care
whether the boot that the bootblack
hadn't BACKED was blacked or not.
This made the bootblack who had
blacked the black bootblack's boot
as. angry as bootblack often gets, and
he vented his black wrath by splitting
upon the BACKED boot of the black
bootblack. This reused the latent
passions of the black bootblack and
he proceeded to boot the white boot
black with the boot which the white
bootblack had BACKED. A fight then
ensued, in which the white bootblack
who had refused to black the I'M
blacked boot of the black bootblack,
blacked the black bootblack's vision
ary organ, and in which the black
bootblack wore all the blacking off of
his BACKED boot in booting the white
bootblack. The fraternity of boot
blacks afterward convened and de-
nounced the action of the white and
black bootblacks as one of the black
est in the pages of bootblack history.

Governor Warm0th.
from the Homer IIiad.l

A very worthy and intelligent old
citizen of Claiborne writes us pri-
vate letter, from which we take the
liberty of extracting the following
well deserved compliment to Gov.
Warmoth:
g Your structures on the course of
the New Orleans Times, in reference to
Gov. Warmoth, are true and just.
The Reporter or Interviewer ought to
have been kicked out of the room; but
the Governor took the wiser course,
and has put his accusers to open shame
by triumphantly refuting thousand
slanders which have been hurled
against him by unscrupulous partisans.
That which was intended to blast his
fair fame has redounded much to his
benefit, among all sensible and unprcj-
udiced men. A neighbor of mine-an
old-line Democrat-pronounces War
moth the giant of the State nor is he
alone in his opinion. am a reader
and subscriber of the Times but never
will | consent to see a faithful public
servant traduced by cliques and un-
principled partisans, without raising
my voice against it. l trust Gov.
Warmoth will out-liye all his tradu-
GERS and slanderers and assuredly he
will in the hearts and esteem of all
honorable men,
Nor is this "well put" paragraph
from our old and highly esteemed
friend the only indication of the sort
we have received lately. Such ex-
pressions are quite frequent and com
mon in private conversation. In fact
the feeling in this section toward Gov
Warmoth is a thousand-fold more fl.
vorable than certain grumblers in tht
GLOVER regions" seem to anticipate
The people are always just in the ex.
ercise of the sober second thought.

de-eamp to accompany the Prince
Frederick Carl and the Count Won
Moltke as far as the boundaries, after
their visit. When the journey was
only half over, a railroad accident
compelled the distinguished travellers
to halt for few hours.
Russia is very strange country"
said Won Moltke to one of the aids
de-camp, Col. -, :" we have travel
ed all through Germany and France,
at all times and under the most try
ing circumstances, and we have never
had the slightest accident"
"Your excellency is right" replied
the aid-de-camp, smiling, Russia is,
indeed a very strange country. But
what would you havef 1t was made
so, and it can't be helped. Besides,
you were invited to come to Russia
by the Emperor, you have been his
guest, and he has neglected nothing t.,
provide for your safe and easy return
to your own country. 1t would have
been very different if you had come
into Russia uninvited. In that case
you would never have got away at
all.n
1t is said that Molke's followers
made wry faces at the speech, but
that Moltke himself, biting his lips
congratulated the young Russian on
the readiness of his wit

A BOOtblack Adventure.
TFrom the Milwaukee News.l

During slight lull in business here
Yesterday, two little bootblaeks, one
white and one black, were standing at
the corner of Second and Francis
streets, doing nothing, when the
white bootblack agreed to black the
black bootblack's boots. The black
bootblack was of course willing to
have his boots blacked by his fellow
bootblack, and the bootblaek who had
agreed to black the black bootblack's 5
boots went to work. When the boot
black had BACKED one of the black
bootblack's boots till it shone III a
manner that would make any boot
black proud, this bootblack who had
agreed to black the black bootblack's
boots refused to black the other boot
of the black bootblack until the black
bootblack, who bad consented to have
| the white bootblack black his boots,
should add five cents to the amount
the white bootblack had made black
ing other mems boots. This the boot
black whose boot had been blacked
refused to do, saying it WAS good

NUMBER 33.
The Land of Wonders.

To the Spanish adventurers who
three hundred years ago explored the
western coasts of America, piIlaging
Indian cities, and leading armed ex-
peditions into the wilderness for the
double purpose of building Christian
churches and bringing away the pagan
gold, the countries of the Pacific slope
seemed among the richest and most
beautiful in all the world. In their
glowing narratives the commonest
implements were made of precious
metals, the poorest Indian carried
fortune upon his person, the fruits of
the earth were abundant beyond all
former experience, and the heavens
were always kind. Here where the
poets had dreamed, where Spring
time and harvest-time reigned per-
petually together, and the richestpro-
ducts of a teeming soil ripened un-
ceasingly beneath balmy skies.
We have ridiculed the eredulity or
denied the good faith of these early
yoyagers; but every day we gather
fresh proof that there was more truth
in their poetical descriptions of the
new found paradise than in the pro-
sale and imperfect pictures of the
present generation. When the pas
senger trains escaped from their thirty
days snow blockade on the Pacific
Railway, and the engines, still gfisten
ing with ice, ran into the delicious at
mOsphere of the western slope Of the
mountains, the people of some OF
the California settlements testified
their hospitality by bearing to the.un-
fortunate passengers fresh fruits and
flowers grown in the open air only q
fen miles from the scene of that terri
Bile icy storm. The gift was. symbol
cal of the extraordinary country i'll
which the fruits of August are laid
in the lap of Winter, the blossoms of
Spring perfume the whole year, and
the sower and reaper walk the fields
together, A judicious observer and
accom- pfished writer, Mr.. Charles
Nordhoff, describes the wonders OF
the farm regions of Southern Califor-
mia in a series of letters, of which we
publish the first this morning. Much
has been told about the characteristics
of California of late years, aud sew
eral correspondents have from time to
contributed graphic accounts of var
ious sections of the State TO our col
umns; but Mr.. Nordhoff gives us
something new. He has gone off the
great routes of transcontinental travel,
and penetrated into those happy val
leys of the remoter agricultural dis
tricts. where the gardens in January
! are fragrant with ripe strawberries
and mangel-wurzels grow as big rount
as nail -keg and two and a half fee
long. What these lands are wortl
to the settler from the East, wha
they need, and what they are capable
of producing, our readers may lear1
from these valuable and entertaining
letters. They revive the wonders o
}, the infancy of American discovery
} and repeat the old lesson that trutf

A Talk With Brigham Young.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial writes from Salt Lake
CITY, under date of the I'd inst:
We waited over an hour for tho
/" President as he is called; but, as
there were plenty of people to talk to,
the hours passed pleasantly. A door
leading to his inner sanctum opened
and the king of the Mormons, tho
ruler of Utah, the vcritable Brigham
Young stood before us.
He is Il stout looking old man of II
wears, his body showing large bones
and slightly bent with the weight OF
time, his face smooth down to chin
whiskers, his hair frosted by many
winters, his forehead broad aud high,
his lips firm, his eye bright, his face
kind and his voice low and gentle.
Such is Brigham Young. His troubles
of the last year are telling feaffully
upon him, and unless his enemies re-
! lent and give him and his church some
peace, it is evident that lie will be
moved hence ere long.
Being prisoner, and these being
critical times, he is very cautious what
he saws, even to his trusted friends.
He spoke with deep feeling of un-
| Just prejudices which were harbored
against the church, accusing the
| Methodist of being particularly vin-
/ dicitive. He affirmed that the Nor
mon was liberal church, interfering
/ with no one, and only asking to be let
alone, and worship God in their own
way. He said that Methodists, Epis-
.eopalians, Catholics, and all demons
! nations were allowed to preach in the
/ Tabernacle, and gave numerous in
stances where the privilege had been
i granted to the Eastern ministers, who
repaid the kindness by pitching into
the Mormon religion.
/ In appearance and address he i'm
presses me as kind hearted old man,
and as for the stories about his insti-
eating murder and robbery, | simply
don't believe them. No man can be
fiend without his face showing it,
| and ! defy any man to see wicked
ness in a iineament of Brigham
Young's face.
i After half hours conversation up
on the subject of churches in general,

ing in to hold "a consultation" we

We have lately distributed several
copies of pamphlet compiled by 0.
D. Bragdon, Esq, the accomplished
Private Secretary to Gov. Warmoth,
on the past and present financial con-
dition of Louisiana and the effect
seems magical. The eyes of the peo-
pie seem opened in the right direction,
and they see things as they are, and
understand for themselves. The good
opinion in behalf of Republican rule
as a consequence is becoming anmis-
takably healthy and strong. Let the
people continue to investigate, and
think and act for themselves.-Homer

of toothache goes forth into the woods,

A Washington special to the New
York Herald says:
Many hard words are INDUCED i'll
because the report of the New Orleans
investigation committee has not been
made to the House, the Democrats
charging that the delay in printing
the evidence is at the instance OF
President Grant, because his brother
in-law, Casey, is implicated by it.
This is strenuously denied on the
other side, the assertion being that
the majority report is ready to be
presented at any time, the delay hav-
ing been occasioned by differences on
unessential points.
