work to forty-four per week This measure is
expected to reduce production by one-third,

ONE of the most interesting features
of the City of Pekin is the condensing
apparatus, an invention of the engineer
Lighthall. This is able to furnish 5000
gallons Of fresh water daily, at tenn
perature of fifty degrees Fahrenheit.
The process is simple. Steam. drawn
from the great boilers, is aerated, fl
tered, and passed into the vacuum cham
r. BY 8 special process the air is
withdrawn, and the heat of the con-
densed steam rushes out TO restore
equilibrium of temperature, and leaves
the water fresh and cool.

Dying in distance long ago.
When evening winds from heaven were blown
And the heart yearned for things unknown
Across the leafy windOW-place
Peace seals the stainless sapphire deep;
Oae sentry star on Outer space
His quenchless lamp lifts, half asleep;
Peace broods where falling waters flow,
Peace where the heavy roses blow.
And on the Tindless atmosphere
Wait all the fragrances Of June;
The summer night is hushed to hear
The passion of the ancient tune
Then Why these sudden tears that start,
And why this pierced and aching heart?

The convention of steambOatmen met
at st. Louis last week, with full delega-
tiOns from Cincinnati, Louisville, Pitts
burg, New Orleans, VicksburR, Cairo,
Evansville and st. Louis. Capt. Z. W.
Gould, of st. Louis, was elected tempo
rary chairman. q. He said the general OBJ
jects of the convention areto devise means
to remedy existing evils in steamboat
ing and remove the embarrassments IN
der which the interest is suffering. He
urged that the local associations shouid
become auxiliary members of the ma
tional board of steam navigation, In or
der to band the entire steamboat inter-
ests of the country together for their
protection. We have failed on the
Mississippi to give river matters the at
tention which their importance demands,
and we are in consequence resting I'M
der a cloud. The prime object of this
convention, in my idea, is the harmon
izing of conflicting interests also, the
question of railroad competition. At
the start, the railroads desired no CO.
operation with river transportation.
Being unsuccessful, their managers are
now in a condition to treat.
Another matter of Importance ls the
Improvement of our rivers, and every
effort should be put forward IN this d.
rection. We are also interested IN the
improvement of the mouth Of the Mis-
sissippi, and this convention should set
tie upon some plan to urge upon con-
oress whatever may be done at the ear
hest possible moment.
After some other preliminary business
the committee on permanent oTganiza-
ton reported r. 81. Voolfolk, of Louis
vile, for permanent president aud J.
Shields, secretary. Tho convention
then adjourned.

Highly Hugoish.

Victor Hugo is said by some mali
ciOus person to have addressed a letter
to the peace congress sitting at Geneva,
from which the following is an extract :
Every congress IS a reunion, every re-
union IS a union, every union is q pro
gress. Congress, progressive great
things which rhyme, and rhyme is rea-
son. You want peace and liberty. So
do I. Peace and liberty Grandiose
and luminous-pleonasm. Peace is
liberty liberty is peace. To desire one
is to desire the other. The one is the
other; the other is the one. Who does
not wish for it ? Peace and liberty are
the twin sisters from whose embrace the
communion of youth will spring-the
United States of Europe-the COM
muniop of men. You have selected
Geneva as the lying-in hospital of your
grand conceptions. You were right.
Voltaire took refuge IN the bosom of
Geneva-that flea of genius, whose
bites aroused sleeping people. Geneva
is less great for having given birth to
Rousseau. Health and prosperity.

RECEPTION AT GEN.sHERMAN's HOUSE.
The ceremony over, the bridal party
returned to Gen. Sherman's residence
and received their friends from to 4
O'Clock; the bride and groom in the
back pariOr, while General and Mrs.
Sherman occupied the front parlor.
The bridal party received congratula-
tiOns in front of the niche containing
a bust of Gen. Sheridan under a cano-
py of flowers, draped with 'smilax,'
from which also was suspended mar
riage bell of snOw-white flowers. Du-
ring the reception ceremony the Ma
rine Band, stationed in the grounds
west of the parlor, played appropriate
airs. After the guests had paid their
respects to the bride in the Sherman
mansion they passed into an adjoining
house, occupied by Assistant Postmas-
ter General Reutt, where
A MAGNIFICENT BANQUET
awaited them. A table was set with
covers for one thousand persons. Al
though many were present there was
no disagreeable crowding. The resi-
dence and its entrances were profusely
decorated with palms, century plants,
dragon flowers, euphorbias, maranta,
American yucca ferns and numerous
exotics. The halls and bannisters were
wreathed with evergreens, and the
doors leading into the various rooms
covered with cedars. Bridal presents
and valuable were exhibited
in the library room.

An act of infamous cruelty, under color
of law. reaches us from Annapolis. 1t
seems that some eighteen months since a
private was caught drunk and asleep while
on duty. He was tried, convicted and
sentenced to two years solitary confne-
ment in dungeon. The dungeon or cell
selected for this purpose is closet FIVE
feet by ten, under the water line, in the
hold of vessel For eighteen months,
this miserable wretch, we are assured, has
in this manner been shut out from the
light of heaven, breathing the noisome nj E
of this loathsome place. Nothing but a
vigorous constitution prevents this being
what it will be yet, the death penalty,
and slow, lingering death of torture.
Now how often have the officers who melted
out this torture, or the secretary who APP
proved it, been drunk and asleep on duty

ed peopIe from that party. They have
discovered that the president is on the side
of Baxter, and they don't see why thew
should not be on that ,side too. The Little
Rock Gazette says they have learned a
thing or two; they are breaking away from
their. old political associates and ranging
themselves alongside the better people of
the state" The election of delegates to
the constitutional convention is to take
place on the 30th inst, and the nomination
Of these delegates is going actively on. In
many counties the white Conservatives and
the colored people are acting heartily TO-
gether-sigping the same call for meetings
and supporting the same candidates. On
the occasion Of Gov. Bakers visit to Pine
Bluff on the 18th, he was received by two
companies of local troops, one of them col
ored, under Gen. King White-the colored
people, we are told, being very enthusias-
tic in the cheers they gave the governor.
This shows how completely things have
been turned round in Arkansas since the
president threw his sword into the scale on
the Baxter side. The Republicans are
making very feeble contest for delegates
to the convention. Indeed, there is scarce:
ly Republican party in the state, and
what little is left of it will disappear when
the convention election takes place. The
convention will be composed almost entire
ly of conservatives, and one of its first
measures will be to abolish the machinery

Struck by Lightning.

If anybody in the remote. unfriended
State of Oregon had predicted that Mr.
George A. La Dow would be elected to
Congress, every other man, no matter what
his politics, would have said La Dow was
more likely to be struck by lightning The
preternatural silence of La Dow while the
other candidates were abusing each other
on the stump gave rise to rumors that he
was not a candidate at all and doubtless
to the reports of trade whereby Demo
cratic and Republican votes would be con-
centrated on Grover (Democrat) for Gov
ernor, and Williams (Republican) for Con
gress. But La Dow leads the poll, and,
commenting on the results, George w.
Lawson, prominent leader among the
Independents, writes in the Portland Ore
CONAN:
