Some time ago a lady wrote to Charles
Sumner, asking him to interest himself
on behalf of a young man who was needy,
and whom she desired him to assist with
his influence. Mr.. Sumner replied that
his attention was SO much occupied in
looking after the welfare of mankind
that he hadn't any time to devote to the
wants of individuals. The lady reioined
that Mr.. Sumner seemed to put himself
higher than the Almighty. for the AL
mighty, while not neglecting the welfare
of the world at large, could still condo
scend to regard the needs of individuals.
Mr.. Sumner, ashamed of the ludicrous
position in which his great conceit had
placed him, and recoiling from this scath-
ing rebake, begged that the matter might
be suppressed. But the story leaked
out It is literally true, and Julia Ward
Howe, the poetess, is the lady who sent
the terrific shot at the egotist. His re-
cent letter is born of the same self-suffi-
cient spirit as his answer to Mrs. Howe

ity are utterly neglected which would
add greatly to the pleasures of study,
and to the discipline of the minds of the
young. m il
How much time is spent by our chill
dren, in learning the finer details of the
geography of China, India, Oceanica-
places they will probably never visit /
while they remain ignorant of the rocks,
minerals, metals and soil, on which they
are so dependent for the supply of daily
wants.
Allow me, Mr.. Editor, to call the at
tention of parents, teachers and pupils
to what Ihave termed family of friends.
I can do this in no better way than to
exhibit the Importance of some of these
in supplying the wants of life.
Quartz, the first letter Of the geolog-
ical alphabet, is more abundantly sup
piled, by the benevolence of the Creator,
than any other substance. It, indeed,
constitutes about one-half of the solid
matter of the globe.
Pure quartz, when analysed, is found
to consist of about ninety-fve parts of
pure slick and five of water. Slick is
sometimes written silica. All minerals,
composed principally of quartz or slick,
| are called silicious.
Quartz is sometimes very nearly pure,
but more generally is found combined
with other substances, especially rushes
and soil. 1t is the handiest of simple
minerals, and is easily known by two
simple tests it will scratch glass. and
strikes fire with steel 1t usually has a
resinous or CLASSY appearance. The col
or is generally white, though by eombi-
nation with other substances, it is of
nearly all colors-black. blue, red, OF
rose colored, green and smoky. Earie-
ties of quartz receive different names,
according to their appearance, as greasy,
milky, blue, limpid, feruginous, smoky
red.
Precious stones, mentioned in the bi.
BILE and other books, are composed gener
ally of quartz in greater or less proper
tions. Almost all rocks are formed il
part of quartz, and all good soil contains
a larger or less proportion of it. Chal
cedony, Agate, Onyx stone, Carnelion
Chrysoprase, Opal, Hyulite, Flint, Jas
per. Birthstone and others are composed
principally of quartz.
In the next paper will describe tn
uses and Importance of this mineral, ant
show why it should be called friend.

SIMPLE MINERALS-.A FAMILY
OF FRIENDS,

Children are expected and required to
study many things; and to aid them,
schools are established, books and teach
ers are provided. This is right. Every
child should be taught to read, spell,
write and compute. He should be taught
something with regard to many other
things, and also give attention to geog-
raphy, grammar, philosophy, music, &c.
knowledge concerning all these subjects
is valuable. and indeed indispensable as
a preparation for the duties of life. I
wish the young in general knew tenfold
more concerning them than they do.
But, while these subjects are general
ly embraced in the system of primary
schools, some other things Of equal util-

AFTERNOON

The Convention re-assembled at 2
o'clock, and while waiting for the re-
port of the nominating committee some
telling speeches were made. Rev. H.
P. Gushing, Of Caledonia County being
present, was called upon by the chair
man. Mr. Cushing declined until he
had heard from others-Gen. Circuit had
Just come in and he wanted to hear from
him first; but the Gen. said that age
should come before beauty This bro't
Mr. Cushing to his feet, and he made a
brief but pointed speech which made
every eye sparkle with patriotism. Gen.
circuit followed Mr.. Cushing. with a
speech in which he showed the ridicu-
lous position in which Mr.. Greeley had
placed himself, and how ridiculous, I'M
der the circumstances, it would be for
the country to make him President.
The convention voted thanks to the Gen.
for his address, after which some inter
esting remarks were listened to from
Rev. S. X. B. Perkins, of Glover, DIR.
J. F. Skinner, of Barton, Rev. Mr..
Smith, of Irasburgh, and Major circuit,
of Newport.
The Nominating Committee then pre-
scented the following list of candidates
for Senators and County officers, which
were accepted by the Convention:
For Senators-E. Z. Cotton, Irasburgh,

For States Attorney, W. D. Crane

For Sheriff.. J. Dodge, Lowell.
For High Bailiff-Joseph Bates, I'd

The Committee on Resolutions, through
their Chairman, L. H. Thompson, pre-
sented the following which were adopt
ed:
Resolyed, That each town COMMITTEE
be recommended to organize in their re
spective towns Grant & Wilson Club
for the discussion of the principles ant
circulation of the campaign document
of the Republican party.
ReSolced, That we also pledge gu
support to the nominees of this conven
ton and those of the Republican Stat
Convention.
Resotved, That the soldiers who Tough
for liberty and union, in the Late war o
the rebellion, feel more keenly, and aI
preciate more thoroughly the prophet
and absolute necessity of re.eleeting
the position he now so creditably an
honorably fills,-the Nations represer
tative Soldier and Statesman, whose nam
has come to be household word through
out the land, and reads q. S. Gram
To the soldier the Republican party wa
the watchword of the war, and is no
the headlight of peace and prosperity
we believe its noble work is not yet fiji

is national necessity; and we do her

The meaning of all this in plain Eng

not interfere for their protection, but

You cannot forget, Mr.. Sumner, how
often during the late session of Congress
you conferred with me in regard to the
possibility of having your Civil Rights
bill passed by the House. 1t was in
troduced by your personal friend, Mr..
Hooper, and nothing prevented its pas

and factious hostility of Democratic
members. If | have correctly examined
the Globe, the Democratic members on
sixteen different occasions resisted the
passage of the Civil Rights Bill by the
Parliamentary process known as Fill

colored members from South Carolina,
Elliot, and Rainy, begged of the Demo-
cratic side of the House to merely allow
the Civil Rights Bill to be voted on. and
they were answered with denial SC

A LONG w ALk.-1ne dU0 C0ctJOF-
MIA gives the following remarkable feat
in pedestrianism
DIR. Bourne, of this city, completed a
trip on foot from Portland, Oregon, to
this city, yesterday at one o'clock P. M.
He left Portland, on the 9th of May,
and his log book gives the following
notes of his travel: Distance, sou miles;
DAYS ard parts of days actual walking,
81 hours of actual walking 302;
consumption of unbolted bread or crack
ers during the journey, less than 40 lbs.
Other food, stewed fruits and water
loss of weight five pounds. The Doctor
is &c years of age and cannot afford to
loose much flesh. He has been yege-
tartan for nearly third of century,
and has all that time been preaching
and teaching that doctrine without sue
cess. The trip from Portland is his last
grand demonstration for the benefit of
mankind, of the virtue of his teachings
and on unbolted bread. He travelled
over mountains at the snow line and in
valleys when the thermometer was as
high as 50, and often wandered ten
miles without seeing habitation with
less shade from the scorching sun than
could be afforded by cabbage leaf He
enjoyed comparative freedom from suffer
ing and arrived in good health. He is open
to inquiries from scientists as to his
mode of living, his doctrine, and the ex-
traordinary qualities Of unbolted bread.
AN INTERNAL RECIPE most ex-
traordinary of all culinary recipes is the
following diabolical one given by Mi
card, in his elbow toroast and eat a
goose alive
Take goose or a duck, or some such
live creature pull off all her feathers
only the head and neck must be spared
then make a fire round about her-not
too close to her-that the fire do not
touch her within the circle of the fire
let there be set pots of water, wherein
salt and honey are mingled, and let there
be also chargers full of sodden apples
cut into small pieces. The goose mus
be all larded and basted over with but
ter, to make her the more fit to be eaten
and roast her the better; put the fire
about her, but do not make too much
haste when you see her begin to roast
for by walking about and flying here ant
there, being eooped in by the fire tina
stops her way out, she will fall to drinl
the water, to quench her thirst, and coo
her heart and all her body; and the APP
pie sauce will purge and empty her ant
when she roasteth and consumeth inward
ly, always wet her head and heart witt
a sponge, and when you see her gidd,
with running, and begin to tumble, he
heart wants moisture, and she is roaste
enough. Take her up, and set her be
fore your guests, and she will cry GU
: when you cut off any part of her, an
; will be almost eaten up before she j
dead. 1t is mighty pleasant to behold.

SINKING SLOWLY.


Diseases that progress rapidly to crisis are
not the only ones to be dreaded Canker or dry
rot does not blast tree as suddenly as stroke
Of lightning but unless arrested it destroys it
certainly: and in like manner chronic debility,
although it does pot kill with the swiftness of
yellow fever, is as sure to sap the springs Of life
eventually as any acute disease, if not checked
by invig oratinng medication. There is something
inexpressby touching in the spectacle of pisma-
ture decay. Languor, pallor, eDaciation, de-
preston Of spirits, and dlstae for exertion are
its ordinary symptoms, and they should be
promptly met by tonic treatment The best in
vigorant and exhilerant that can be administered
in case of this kind is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters The stimulating principle of the prepara-
ton rouses the dormant energies Of the system,
and the strengthening and regulating properties
give permanent and healthfpl impulse to the
vital forces thus brought into play. The falling
appetite is re. awakened, the process Of digestion
and assimilation are quickened, the quality of
the blood is improved, the secretions becomes
more natural, and every organ that contributes
to the nourishment Of the body undergoes saluta-
ry change. By these means the repair Of the
physical structure is effected and its health and
vigor restored. In no class of diseases has the
benefcent operation Of the Btters been more
marked and striking than in those characterized
by general debility and nervous prostitution
Ladies affected with these ailments find in this
most wholesome OF all tonics and correctives the
safest and surest means of relief. 1t is strong to
restore and powerless to njure. Such is the I'M
