TIE LONG AGO.

There is q beautiful isle in the long ago,
All flooded with golden light
And river tha, flows by the evergreen shore
Whose waters are wOndrOUs bright;
There's bark which gllj,s with snowy SAIL
And the dip OF the silver oar,
And carries back to The shining gates
OF that beautiful past Cnoc more;
All! every heart holds some sweet dream
OF the days that have gone before.
There were bright hopes nurs2d IN the long ago,
Sweet h,xers were gathered there,
Aud the walls ofthe beautiful past were hung,
With many an Image fair,
And oh there is room for the feet 10 tread
This path of the by-gone years
There are joys that bloom in m2rnory's fields,
And a fount for our bitter tears,
And grave in which We have garDercd up
All the Old time hopes AMI fears.
There are beautiful dreams the heart holds d ar,
Bright dreams Of the long ago,
And sacred tears for tn" persisted hopes
That will never rc.u-n-ah 10!
And thus In the tangled web Of life
We weave on? snil IS and our tears,
Yet the soul las its holy mcmorys
That cling TO the parted years
All drop the silken curtain now
O'er the old time hopes and fears.
Shut out the sight Of the long ago,
+, Close the doors OF the past again;
And stine the yearning thoughts that Gil
The bosom with 81 much painF
Then roll the pOnderous stone against
The tomb that is dug in the heart,
For why should these buried forms once more
To life and beauty start?
The future NAV hold some dream as bright
That will not soon depart. -'

The other report differed in but li:tIe

The MurderOuS MOdOcs The
Whole Party to be Shot.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The Washing
ton Chronicle this morning prints the fol-
lowing relative to the Modoc prisoners,
recently tried by court martial: 'The War
Department, now that its supreme head is
absent, and the wheels of business revolve
slowly, unsteady and timid in furnishin G
important news to the press. 1t states,
and that somewhat explicitly, that the re-
suit Of the Modoc court martial has not
yet officially reached its chief Of bureau,
the Adiutant Generals office but it can
not deny the fact that unofficial advices
have been received, and that by an officer
of the department, of which a full and de-
tailed foreshadowing is given of the fate of
the Modoc murdcrers. They are to be
shot, one and all. There is no mistake
about this. The papers have yet to 60
through the Secretary of War to the Pre-
sident for his action in the premises.
General jeff G. Davis earnestly hopes
that the approval of the Executive will sup
plement the findings of the court, and the
statement is made that the eyes of the
whole Pacific coast will be directed to the

Great Fire at baltimore.
TWO CHURCHES AND ABOUT 100 oTHE
BUILDINGS DEsTROYED.

TWO CHURCHES AND ABOUT 100 OTHER
BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
On Saturday morning one of the most
extensive and destructive conhagrations
ever known in Baltimore occurred near the
heart of the city, and threatened at one
time to rival the previous disasters Of Chi
cago and Boston, destroying two churches
and over one hundred houses, including
numerous small dwellings, few factories
and stores, rendering n large number of
people homeless and destroying probably,
one million dollars worth of property,
if not more. The fire broke out at about
TO-. Is a. rn., in shavings box adjoining
the engine room of the planning mill and
sash factory Of J. Thomas & Sons, on Park
and Clay streets, thickly settled neigh
borhood near the center of the city. In
very brief space Of time the building, owing
to the infammable nature of the wood and
material with which it was stored. was
wrapt in flames, and the conhagration be-
gan. A general alarm was sounded, and
al, the engines were promptly dispatched
TO the scene of the fire, and two subsequent
ly arrived from Washington, making thir-
teen steamers in service.
The greatest loss on Lexington street
was the First English Lutheran Church
and parsonage, Rev. S. II. Barclay, pas
tor, with valuable library attached. The
church is q total loss.
The Central Presbyterian Church, cor
ner of Saratoga and Liberty streets, was
one of the finest churches in Baltimore,
and was attended by the elite of the city.
The burnt district comprises the greater
parts of four blocks, included within the
bounds ofIIoward, Lexington, Liberty and
Saratoga streets, though only portion of
the houses within these bounds were burn
ed-The course of the fire was generally
towards the cathedral, that is northeast
wardly from the point it started, the fire
in Mulberry street being in this course, and
at one time creating the widest sort of
panic. Happily the well directed energies
of the fremen aud the open width in front
of and between the houses opposite the
Central Presbyterian church stayed its pro-
gress.

PERRY DAVIS
PAuN.kILlER,

Has been tested in every variety of eli
mate, and by almost every nation known
to Americans. 1t is the constant compan-
ion and inestimable friend of the mission
ary and the traveller, on the sea or land,
and no one should travel on our Lakes or
Rirers, rithoW IL.
Since the Pan-kile was first introduc-
ed, and met with such extensive sale,
many LinimentS, ReleJS, Panaceas, and
other RemitlieS have been offered to the
public, bu. not one of them has attained
the truly rinble standing of the Pain Kill
Ter.
WHY Is THIS SOP
1t is because Davis Pain-Kille is what
it claims to be Reliever of Pain.
ITS MERITS ARE UNSURPASSED.
If you are suffering from Internal Pain
Itcenty 10 Thirty Drop in a Little Water will
almost instantly cure you. There is moth
ing to equal it for Collie, Cramps, Spasms,
HEARTBURN, diarrhea, Dysentary, Flux,
Wind in the Bowels, sour Stomach. Dys-
pepsia, Sick Headache. &c.
In sections of the country where
FEVER AND AGUE
prevails, there is no remedy held in greater
esteem. Persons travelling should keep it
by them. a few drops, in water, will pre-
vent sickness or bowel troubles from change
OF water.
From foreign countries the calls for Pain
Killer are great. 1t is found to Cure Chol-
era when all other Remedies Fail.
When used externally, as a Liniment,
nothing gives quicker ease in Burns, Cuts,
Bruises, SpraaS, Stings from InsectS, and
Scalds. 1t removes the fire, and the wound
heals like ordinary sores. Those suffering
with Rheumatism, Gout, or Neuralgia, if
not a positive cure, they find the Pain XII
Ter gives them relief when no other remedy
will.
1T GIVES INSTANT RELIEF FROM ACHING
TEETH.
Every House Keeper should keep it at
hand, and apply it on the first attack of
any Pain. 1t will give satisfactory relief,
and save hours of suffering.
DO not trihe with yourselves by testing
untried remedies. BE sure you call for and
get genuine Pain Killer, as many worth
less nostrums are attempted 10 be sold on
the great reputation of this valuable medi-
cine.

PROPOSED SURRENDER OF THE Demo-
CRATIC PARTY.-W. S. Groesbeck, the
great gun Of the Ohio Democracy and one
Of the leaders Of the National Democrats,
has written letter TO leading member of
the party, giving his views in regard to a
new party organization and abandonment
Of the old, so called, Democratic party.
lie says:
81 believe the historical Democratic Or
gan!zation is spoiled. Bluudering con-
stantly during the last ten years and shat
tered by many defeats, it surrendered finally
at the last Presidential election. 1t cannot
recall that surrender nor the confessions
then made, and it has no longer strength
enough for victory. In this extremity it
will be wise to lay aside the old organiza-
tion and enter into new one. The new
organization should accept the results of
the war, as was doae al Baltimore, and it
should accept them in good faith, and so
as to command The confidence of the peo-
pie; and in order to command the conf
dence OF people the new organization should
be something different from recast of the
old One."
Mr.. Glocsbeck was urged TO accept the
nomination for Governor of Ohio, but he
had no desire to be the standard bearer of
party already ''spoiled," and which had
been "blundcring constantly during the
last ten years" In regard to negro suf-
frase, he thinks it was "granted too soon
to those recently emancipated," but he
thinks ito keep permanently so large a
portion in an inferior and degraded con-
dition, would be a greater danger and al,
ways trouble u.s."
Inrnsard to "frec-trade," he says "the
new organization should make it one of its
cardinal doctrines" and concludes by urg.
ing strict construction Of the constitution.
How manufacturers and coal and iron men
will relish these free trade doctrines we eau
well imagine, andaro therefore not surprised
To find that the late Democratic county
convention had very quietly passed ovel
the subject of the tariff.

THERE is q healthy sentiment in the fol-
lowing from the Detroit (Mich.) Tribune !:
''The party shield to official roguery is
fast losing its protective qualities. Men
who abuse power that is entrusted TO them,
and then expect that the party organiza-
tion will shelter them from just retribution
and that the party press will defend their
guilt and praise their shortcomings, are
disappointed in these days with great fire.
quency. Party machinery has become too
weak to longer endure such a strain and
it breaks down when it is compelled to
submit to it, All this is rs it should be,
for it was certainly time that the pendu-
lum swung to the opposite end of the arc.
The rew theory should be that the Repub-
lican party must may be it its peculiar busi-
ness to bring all Republican rascals to JUS
tice, for by such a course alone can it es-
tablish, beyond peradventure, it claim upon
the public confidence

THE farce of nominating a Democratic
County ticket was gone through with on
Monday last, and the result is, as was cx-
pccted, that the Ring would be successful
in nominating their men. There were
some good men presented who would have
done honor to their position, but they
were ignored and cruelty slaughtered as
their adherence to the Ring was doubtful.
The movements here on Saturday should
have satisfied any one who the candidates
were to be, and OH Monday morning rs
the delegates arrived the unterrified were
busy in arranging matters TO carry out the
programme. 1t vas easily sctn that Mr..
Tuft had the inside track for Assembly,
but as he was not the man for the Ring,
and other little arrangements had to be ef-
iected, thc uninstructcd delegates were
manipulated and induced to cast their first
vote for DR.. Dewitt as q compliment. En-
ough were secured in this way to nomi-
nate him on the first ballot. After this re-
suit the Shipman family claimed, that as
but one Of their number was without an
office, he should at least he rewarded with
complimentary vote. He received his
complimentary vote, and at the same time,
tho nomination. This was dodge that
gave Mr.. Lemuel Shipman the nomination
for Register and Recorder on the first bal
lk. Next came County Commissioner,
when Mr.. Reitz claimed that his defeat
last fall entitled him to the nomination. Of
course as he had played his part in nomi-
mating Dewitt and Shipman, they, in re-
turn, used their influence in his nomina-
ton successfully. The candidates for
Treasurer were consulted as to the cmolu-
ments to be derived from that Office, after
which, Mr.. Haag, consenting to the ruling
of the Hing, was nominated. Daniel S.
Swartz, whose time was cut short as clerk
in the Commissioners office last fall, re-
ceived the nomination as Jury Commits
sioner, and Joseph Eisely, the finance cal
culator Of The Ring, was nominated for
Auditor.
All the nominees are well known rs Of
flee seekers, and some have been long iden-
tiucu uS inciuDeTS vi LNc SOuTJ-IlOuSc NlllS,
while a few others have been drawn in to
give the ticket some responsibility. There
was a great deal of dissatisfaction after the
convention, as to the candidates, as many
did not see the deception practiced at the
Convention until after its adjournment.
Others who disccrned the scheming of the
Ring in the Convention denounced their
operations at the time as an intended fraud
upon the people. The ticket is weak in the
extreme, and rnany honest Democrats are
aEsfously looking so the Republican party
to nominute good men, so that an election
OF good men may prevent a retrogression in
the now prosperous affairs of the county.
The people feel that they are the gamers
by placing the best men in Office, and no
matter whether Democrat or Republican,
they will support the men who are honora-
BILE in politics, and who will receive their
nomination in an honorable way-not
through the manipulation Of Rings.

a Philadelphia paper makes'a suggestion
which is, on the whole, sensible. This is
that schools should make distinction, be-
tween the younger and older pupils, giving
TO the former shorter sessions than to the
latter, graduating them according to the
ages Of the children. This perhaps would
bo Il good beginning Of habit Of discrim-

joining Of the Catholic church by Reform

other not to ''shake thy CORY locks at me

very natural to the common mind that an
excess of forms, ceremonies, and high
