AGO. made by Col Lewis Bond, Chair
man of the Democratic Executive Com.
mlttee for the Ninth Congressional
District. the committee met at Hum
boldt last Tuesday, and resolved that
Congressional Convention should be
held at that place on the 18th day OF
August next. for the purpose of nomi-
MATING a candidate for Congress in this
District. This prompt and decided &C
tion ON the part Of the committee meets
with the emphatic approval of the peo-
ple comprising the opposition to Rad
caiism. as it insures the defeat of the
Radicals at the ensuing election.

drel of newsboy, who has splashed the
mud over us. No, do not want news
paper" he said to the newsboy, '.and
clear out" A dirty, ragged newsboy,
thus addressed, who had bundle of
papers under his arm, gazed at the
speaker, Mr.. Lotus, for . moment with
the utmost contempt, and then made use
of some decidedly impairment expression.
Mr.. Lotus made an attempt to strike the
rude boy with his neat umbrella, which
blow the boy eraded, josthng against Mr..
Queensby. The incident was soon for
gotten, as they neared the hotel, when
Mr.. Queensby's anxiety increased. ''Have
l." he remarked to himself, ''been fool
enough to throw away S700e2 Is he going
to humbug me? am capable of shooting
him. What about those bouds!" he said
aloud.
"Bonds. Why, my dear sir, my dear
Mr.. Queensby, here you have been carry
ing on Broadway. in the most crowded
thoroughfare Of the city. some $50, 900
worth Of United States bonds wrapped up
in an old newspaper in your pocket. 1t is
mercy you have not been robbed. Your
escape from losing them can only be &C.
counted for by the fact that the outside Of
the package by no means represents the
value Of the contents. -
Mr.. Queensby felt in his overcoat
pocket and sure enough there was a good
ly-sized package. The hotel was reached,
and in private corner the package was
examined, and the bonds. $50, 900 worth
in all, was found to be correct. Whether
Queensby and Lotus tried the brandy at
the bar of the Corridor we do not know.
How the bonds came into Queensbys
pocket can only be accounted for by the
supposition that the newsboy put them
there, but how these bonds were taken
from the Fountain is still a mystery.
This is precisely how. in this particular
instance, felony was compounded. There
is no safer savings bank than the Fountain
Of Templeton. and during the late panic
there was not even run on il.
OF course 40 pitcher can always keep
going 60 the well and not get broken. SO
Chaucer Lotus. Esq, or the forger and
bond thief, whose real name is Spencer OF

process Of time. and is now an inmate Of
the State Prison of Massachusetts

81 JOHN Q. WHITTIER.


On the isle of Penikese,
hinged about BY sapphirese
Famed by breezes salt ana COOL
Stood the master with his school
Over sails that not in vain
Woed the west winds steady straips
time of coast that low and far
stretched it's uBdulsting bar.
Wings aslant along the rim
OF the waves they stopped to skiE,s
Rock and isle and glistening bays
Pell the beautiful white day.
Raid the master to the youth:
y We have come in search Of TRUTH
TRYING with uncertain key
Door by door of mystery;
We are reaching, through His lave,
To the garment hem OF Ca1ses
Him the endless, unbegun,
The Unnamable, the One.
Eight of all our light the SOURCE
Life of life, and Force Of force
As with fingers OF the blind
We are CROPPING here to find
What tn. hierogly phics mean
OF the Unseen in The seen,
What the Thought which underIiea
Failures masking and disguise,
What IL is that hides beneath
Blight and bloom and birth and death.
BY paAt efforts unavAilIng,
Doubt and error, loss aud failing,
OF our weakness made aware,
On the threshold Of our task
Let us light and guidance ask.
Let US pause in silent pray
Then the Master in his place .....
Bowed his head little space,
And the leaves by soft airs stirreds
f.apse Of wave and CRY Of bird
Left the sole mn hush unbrOken
or that wOrdles s prayer unspOkens
While it's wish, on earth unsaid.
Rose to heaven interpreted.
A., in life's best hours, we hear
f3y the spirits finer ear
His low voice within US, thus
The All Father hearetn US:
And His holy ear we pain
With our noisy v Ords and vain.
Not for Him our violence
StOrming at the gates Of sense.
His the primal language. His
The eternal slences!
Even the careless heart was moved.
And the doubling gave consent.
With o gesture reverent,
To the Master well beloved.
As thin mists are glorifed
by the light they can not hide
All who gazed upon him saw,
Through it's veil OF tender awe.
By the Old sweet look Of IL.
Hopeful, trustful, full of cheer.
And the love that caste out fear.
Who the secret NAV declare
OF that brief unuitered prayers
Did the shade before him come
OF tn inevitable doom,
OF the end of Earth 90 neaf.
And Rternity's new years
In the lap of sheltering seas
Rests the isle of Penikese;
But the lord of the domain
Comes pOt to his own again;
Where the eyes that follow fall.
On vaster sea his sail
Drifts beyond our beck and hailf
Other lips within its bound
Shall the laws Of life expOund;
Other eyes from rock and shell
Read the worlds old riddles well;
But when bret zes light aud bland
Blow from summers blOssomed land.
When the air 10 glad with wings
And the blithe song sparrow sings,
Many an eye with his still face
shah the Ewing ones displace.
Many an ear the word shall seek
lie alone could fitly speak.
And one name for evermore
Shall be uttered DER and Ger
By the waves that kiss the shore,
BY the curlew's whistle sent
Down the cool. sea scented air,
In all voices known to her,
Nature own her wOrshiper,
Half in triumph, half lament.
Thither love shall fearful turn.
Friendship pause uncovered there,
And the wisest reverence learn
From the masters silent prayer.

Queensby was in the Corridor Hotel, in

Now there was nothing remarkable
about Mr.. Lotus. His men was quiet
and his bearing that of a gentleman. He
wore no jewelry, save quiet guard chain.
His moustache was not dyed, and there
was not even the taintest glimmer of flash
about him. If there was anything re-
markable about the man it was that his
linen was particularly we'll done up, and
that his hands and feet, Of peculiarly ele-

WASHINGTON. March O. The
chaplain in his prayer besought
divine providence that now when
Satan and his angels are loose all
over the land, no true man might
become disheartened or found falter-
ing at his post and that Almighty
God would guard the nation with
his flaming sword Of truth.
Mr.. Fenton said intelligence of
the death of ex-President Fillmore
had been received, and though it
might not be the time to make suit
able remarks he thought it appro-
pirate that the Senate should adjourn
in respect to the memory of the
illustrious dead, He therefore NOV
ed the Senate adjourn. ni
Mr.. Sherman inquired what pre-
cedent there was for such action,
and though lie was willing TO follow
any established precedent he did
not think the example a wise one.
He entertained every respect for ex-
President Fillmore and his public
services, and would yield to no one
in doing honor to his memory.
The Chair said the Senate adjourn
ed upon the death of ex-President
Buchanan.
Mr.. Anthony said Congress ad-
journed upon the death Of General
Washington, and it was upon that
occasion that the phrase "First in
war. first in peace, and first in the
hearts Of his countrymcn," was ut
tered.
Mr.. Fenton's motion was agreed
TO, and the Senate adjourned.

The quantity of distilled, ferment-
ed and brewed liquors drank was
sufficient to fill a canal four feet
deep, fourteen feet wide, and eight
miles long and if all the drinkers
could be placed in procession, five
abreast, they would make an army
$50 miles long, and if those killed
by the Incorporate use Of spirituous
liquors were there also, we should
see a suicide at every five miles and
$50 funerals per day; and if all the
places where Intoxicating liquors are
sold were placed in rows. in direct
lines, they would make q street 100
miles long.
There were 400 more persons
engaged in the liquor business in the
United States than in preaching the
Gospel and school-teaching ; and
from the effects of Intoxicating
drinks, 100000 are annually sent to
prisons, 100000 to drunkard' s
graves, and 100000 children are re-
dueed to want. The total number
of persons engaged in the business
is 100000, of which 56,663 are em-
ployed in making and selling an
nually 5,685, ,633 barrels of beer.
1t is estimated that the clergy of
the United States costs annually
$12.000,000 the lawyers, criminals,
prisons, ETC., $90,000,000, and in
toxicating liquors, as before said,
$1,474, 100000.
The city of New York had 1000
licensed drinking saloons, which, if
placed in rows in direct lines. would
make street like Broadway thirteen
miles long. She spent for intoxicat-
ing liquors $60,000,000 during the
year 1870, and there were employed
in the business $4,000 persons. She
had $50 churches and chapels, and
there were engaged in preaching and
teaching the public and private
schools 5000 persons, all of which
to support cost $4,500,000. The to-
tai sum invested in the liquor busi-
ness of all kinds amounted to $t40,-
600; i'm the manufacturing business
$50, 100000, and the banking busi-
ness $50, 100000. The police de-
partment costs $3.000.00O. and in
public amusements $5,000,000 were
spent. The meat bill was $30,0OO,-
600. flour bin $4,000, 900, and the
daily consumption of beer was 40
600 kegs. There were 5000 ar
rests for intoxication and disorderly
conduct, and $4,000 persons we're in
institutions under care Of the Com
missioners or Public Charities.
