THE PEOPLE OF TRIEsTE.-The people
of Trieste seem to live more at home than
those of Vienna. There is scarcely res
taurant in the whole city where a good
meal can be had. Indeed, they are so few
that it is difficult to find any one of them
of any description. Beer houses are also
very scarce, and it is evident that beer
drinking is not much in vogue. There is
a good demand for coffee, lemonade and
ices, the saloons beinS very abundant, but
there is little drinking done here with the
exception of wines. 1t seems that Amer
lea alone is almost the only country where
intoxicating liquors are drank as bever-
age, and where SO large portion of the
people think it manly to make beasts of
themselves. There are some di.ty shops
where the lazaroni obtain an intoxicating
beverage, somewhat resembling our wills
ky, but there is no place in Trieste where
even glass of brandy can be had, and of
course there are no first class drinking sa-
looms. If there was any demand for such
drinks, there would be plenty of them, and
as there is none, it may be taken for grant
ed there is no demand.-(F From C. c. Full
ton's letters from Europe 10 tile Baltimore

Swami, our white bird of Baltimore,

the back pay; but he is marked on this
list "Drew it." Every one Of our " Dem

credited with pocketing the money; and
they all appear to have voted for the meas

After the first vote they fell back and eth
Ell voted against it or were conveniently

is the same, did not turn it over to the
treasury.

AFTER MANY DAYS. The hurricane
which passed over the Miami Valley, on
the Fourth of July, tore down a number
of old trees, and amongst them large
oak. The owner of the property, Mr..
Rogers, on examining the extent of the
damage done by the storm, discovered in
the hollow of the fallen oak human
skeleton, with some brass buttons and
shreds Of clothing, and among other
things pocket-book with a number of
papers. A communication to the Miami
County Democrat, signed J. F. Clark, re-
lates: "The mans name, AS gathered
from the papers, was Roger Vanderberg, a
native OF Lancaster, Pa, and a Captain IN
the Revolutionary army. He was an Aid
to Washington during the retreat across
the Jerseys, and served a time in Arnold's
headquarters at West Point. In 1891 he
marched with st. Clair against the North
western Indians, and in the famous out
break of that General on the Wabash,
Nov. Sd, of the year just written, he was
wounded and captured. But while being
conveyed to the Indian town at Piqua he
effected his escape, but found himself hard
pressed by his savage foes. He saw the
hollow in the oak, and despite the mangled
arm, and with the aid of beech that grew
uesiuc VIC grant Ineil, ne gained inc maven,
and dropped therein. Then came fear
full discovery. He had miscalculated the
depth of the hollow, and there was no es-
cape. 0! the story told by the diary of
the oaks despairing prisoner. How, rath-
er than surrender to the torture of the
stake, he chose death by starvation; how
he wrote his diary in the uncertain light
and the SHOWS! Here is an entry in the
diary:
November 10.-Five days without food!
When | sleep dream of luscious fruits
and .fo@ing streams. The stars laugA at
my misery! 1t is showing now. | freeze
while starve. God pity me-.
The italicised words were supplied by
Mr.. Rogers, as the trembling hand oft
times refused to indite plainly. The en-.
tries covered a period of eleven days, and
in disiointed sentences is told the story of
st. Clair's defeat. Mr.. Rogers has written
to Lancaster to ascertain if any descend
ants of the i'll fated captain live: if so,
they shall have his bones. "-Orford Press.

The Democratic Conservative Convention.
The Democratic Conservative Conven-
ton to nominate delegates from Cecil
county to the State Convention, to meet at
Baltimore, on the 18th inst, to nominate a
candidate for Comptroller of the Treasury
and candidate for Clerk of the Court Of
Appeals, assembled in Elkton Oh Wednes-
day last.
Joseph Colbert, Esq, was called to the
chair and Milton Y. Kidd and Clinton
Mccullough, appointed Secretaries.
Hon. Hiram Mccullough, Messrs. VIM.
Ward, David Scott and a. II. Briscoe,
were elected delegates, and Messrs. l. F.
Vanarsdale, w. F. J. Henry, Andrew Orr
and John w. Morgan, alternates to the
State Convention.
On motion of Clinton Mccullough, Esq,
a resolution was passed by the Convention,
instructing the delegate to the State Con-
vention, to use all honorable means to
secure the nomination of Hon. JoAn IT.
Miller, of Cecil county, for the Office of
Comptroller CT the Treasury.
These are the proceedings in brief of
the democratic Conservative Conven-
ton, comprising all that was of public
nature. There was any amount of drrang-
ing matters and comparing notes among
the old ring masters, looking to the future
Convention to form county ticket.
In the call and report of the Convention
it is noticeable that Liberal " has been
entirely ignored and &C Democrat and Con-
servative' again taken up. Uncle IIorace's
Liberal principles don't seem to have
brought any recruits to the Elkton Ring
Conservative " has proved capital dodge
in the past, by which numbers of old
Union men and Republicans were captured
by the old Secession Democracy, and the
title is tightly held on to. Wise in it's
generatiOn,-th Elkton Ring. But to
give the devil his due, they arc not migrate
full, what ever other sins they may COM
NIT, and are always ready to give prefer
ence to friends at home. Consequently
they boldly press forward the name of
Hon. John NJ. Miller, for the first Office,
who, by the way, was mighty bad Demo-
crat of the old Secession school, but has
done the Ring" much service by his
labors, in opening avenues where the hun
CRY found good picking Always select
from among your own friends first, especi-
ally when no better is offered from other
quarters. We hope the Rings selection
will be selected at Baltimore

legged character. went into the baggage car
to smoke. He had been enjoying his cigar
but two or three minutes when the conduc.
tor came along and informed him politely
that he must not smoke there. Vanderbilt
said that i. wouldn't make any difference
that it was all right. etc: but the conductor
was OF a different opinion, declaring that i.
was contrary TO the rules of the road.
