Coz. DE WALLER, head of the Swiss

armies of Germany, Russia, France,
Austria and Italy at $l,321, $50, 900.
This is allotting only 100000 to Rus

THE HERON.
by JAMES MAURICE THOMPSON,

Where the water-Rrass grows evergreen
On damp, cool flats, by gentle streams,
Still as a ghost and sad of mton,
with eyes half-closed, the heron dreams
Above him In the sycamore
The flicker beats a duh tattoo;
Through papaw groves the soft airs pour
Gold-dust OF blooms and fragrance new.
And from the thorn II loves So well
The oriOle filings ont it's strong,
Sharp lay wrought In the crucib g
OF it's tlame-circed soul Of song,
The heron mods, the charming tunes
OF natures music thrill his dreams,
The joys of many Mays and lunp
Wa,h past him like cool summer streams,
What tranquil life, what joyful rest
To be thus swathed in fragrant grass,
And dose like him while tendcrest
Drcam-waves across my sleep would pass.

A THIRD TERMER,

Wendell Phillips thinks Grant is
the only man the Republicans can
elect for President in 1876. He praises
the Presidents letter concerning the
third term question, but believes that
the exigencies of the times and the
duty of the nation to its lately en-
franchised citizens demand that the
executive chair shall be filled by q
man favorable to the policy of the
force bill introduced in the last Con-
gress--and who SO sound upon this
question and so available for IL can
didate as Gen. Grante asks Mr.. Phil
lips. The old abolition leader sees
danger to the country in the attitude
and partial success Of the Southern
lied Democracy, and his record as
statesman entities his opinions to the
earnest consideration Of the thinking
men Of the nation.

several cuts from a clasp-knite, one
OF which is a dangerous wound, the
knife having penetrated the stomach
and severely injured the intestines.
The wounded man VAS expected to
die, but at latest accounts he was vet
alive and the attending physicians
expressed hopes of his recovery. The
quarrel grew out of the non payment
OF 4 draft whicl! Mr.. Thiberse had
given on a New Orleans house in sat
isfaction of freight bill presented by
Nr. Brou. High words were ex-
changed and Mr.. Brou slapped his
antagonists face, whereupon the lat
fer drew his knife and inflicted the
wounds mentioned. Proper cogni-

OHIO DEMOCRATIC NOMINA-
TTONS.

The Ohio Democratic State, Con-
yention assembled in Columbus day
before yesterday, and as was antici-
pated, renominated Mr.. William Allen
for Governor. This venerable gentle
man, commonly known rs Old Bill
Allen, or as " Rise up, William AL
len," is hard listed War Democrat,
of high personal and public character,
and will poll the full strength Of his
party in the coming contest ; but the
bad odor into which that party has
been brought by its corrupt and i'm
beetle Legislature and the general
mismanagement Of which its officials
throughout the State have been guilty
will very probably cause its crushing
defeat in the approaching contest.
Old Bill will then be ndmonished to
Rise up, William Allen, and give
General Hayes that chair"
We would remind the anti-Repub-
lican journalists of North Louisiana
who are clamoring for a rally Of their
clans under the banner Of an uninfed
and harmonious National Democracy
impossible conception that this
William Allen is the same gentleman
who rendered President Grant the
services of $4,000 Ohio militia last
September to crush out the White
League rebellion in this State. He
belongs to a class of Democrats with
whom it would be safe to entrust the
destinies of the national government;
but unfortunately this class is a hope
less minority of its party, and, being
found in bad company, must encoun-
ter defeat along with the more per
niciOus elements.
The candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor on the ticket with Mr.. Allen is
Samuel F. Carey, who is described as
a renegade Republican, and was prob
ably nominated to catch Republican
votes. He is by no means 4 danger
Gus rival to the nominee of the Re-
publicans.
A significant occurrence is reported
by telegraph in connection with this
State Convention. While the body
was III session and about to make it's
nominations q heavy storm sprang
up and Il portion of the roof of the
State House in which the convention
assembled, was torn off. Was not this
al expression of divine displeasure at
the unholy work going on within the
building9 Manifestly, yes; and our
Democratic friends should be warned
and abandon the evil Of their ways
in season.
