A CORRESPONDENT from the White
Sulphur Springs, in West Virginia, sends
us some important news as to what the
meetings of the Southern politicians at
that place have developed. 1t has always
been thought that the next nomination of
the Democratic party for the Presidency
would be from the West as Mcclellan,
Seymour and Greely were all from the
East. But the Vice-President will be a
choice from the East or South. Already
the names Of T. F. Bayard, of this State
and that Of Hester NJ. Clymer, of Berks

toned in connection with the office. Our
correspondent states that the. chagscs sre

| rule are educated in Paris, or St. Peters
burg. Since the time of Peter the Great,
whose emissaries, during his war with
Turkey, kindled revolts in the entire
Illyrian region, the influence of the
Russ is great indeed not alone in, Herr
govina, but in all the other Northern
Provinces of Turkey.
Much information can be had upon the
entire subject in Cyprien Roberts Stare
Prorinces Of Turkey; Ranke's History Of
Seruia and Bosnia, and in Paton's High
lands Of the Adriatic.
1t is hard to speculate upon the motives
which direct the policy of Kings, but no
spirit of humanity, nor regard for fear
fully oppressed Christian people can inau-
ence the decision of the three Emperors. if
they stay the hands of the Servians, Monte
negrians, Bosnians, and the other Hlyrian
peoples from driving the Turk out of Eu-
rope; he is a barbarian and an intruder
and his rule should be broken
One of the difficulties in the way of
division of Turkey, arises from the fact,
that the Danube above the point where
Hungary, Servia and Wallachia meet is
Austrian. Her necessities demand its
navigation to the Black Sea, as our north
western states require the Mississippi to
be free, hence any division of Turkey,
would necessitate the allotment to Austria
of Moldavia, ,Servia, Wallachia and part
of Bulgaria; this course would almost
compel the annexation of Bosnia, Turkish
Croatia, and Herzegovina and, Montenego
to the same power---as these States have no
means of reaching the sea, unless by the
Danube, or crossing Dalmatia which is
Austrian to the Adriatic. Russia, in such
case could not have an unbroken range of
territory if she took Constantinople, and
Southern Turkey as her share, as it would
be broken by the Austrian territory at the
mouth of the Danube.
Germany is too widely separated from
Turkey to obtain any part of its territory
However, the German districts of Russia
about the Gulf of Riga in the Baltic, andho-
mogenus people in the North of Austria,
that annexation to Germany,w would COM
plete the unifcation of the Fatherland.
which the victories of Sadowa and Sedan,
so much advanced, might be acceptably
received, as the price of her consent to the
spoliation of Turkey.
France, England, and Italy, most
formidable combination, must of necessity
be consulted and satisfied, if it be not an
impossibility to obtain English and French
consent to any partition Of Turkey. 1t is
a curious reflection, that we seem to be
passing through cycle of time, when
absorption of the lesser by the greater, is
going on, in the political, economic, and
industrial world. Great Empires are be-
coming greater. Great corporations ex-
tend their Brierian arms, and gather in
the pigmies of their kind. Capital by
its interest, is forcing vast
accumulations into the hands, of the few.
Verify we have reached the age of might.
where Gods providence alone-is the
shield of the weak.

117E GRAND REVIEW.

TRANSLATED for THE HERALD by the Rev.
John p. Hagan from the original Ger
man.
Ever by night as the clock strikes twelve.
The drummer leaves the dead,
And walks his lonely midnight round,
With wierd and ghostly tread;
With tieshless hands he strikes his drum,
AS in life he was wont to do,
And wildly beats the Reveillee,
The roll call and tattoo.
The phantom drum on the midnight air,
Rolls out unearthly tones
And quickly wakes from their sleep of death
Brave warriors mould'ring bones;
From the icy north, where lasting SHOWS.
Hold one eternal reign.
A spectral army marches forth,
And fills the moonlit plain
The warriors dead on Alpine heights,
Are startled one by one,
And those, whose bones are bleaching xhita
Beneath the Southern sun:
The distant banks of the Shiny Nile,,
Inc graves III AraDy S sand
Send forth their CHASTITY cohorts all,
Equipped and arms in hand
Ever by night as the clock strikes twelve
The trumpeter leaves his graves
His deep sepulchral trumpet peal
Re-echoes Ger land and wave
When 10 on shadowy steeds of war
Grim skeleton hosts appear,
Their ghostly, SCARED, and bloodstained
bones,
Accoutre in battle gear.
Their ghastly skulls, in helmets cased,
Grin fiercely fitting by,
Their bony fingers, clutchiag fast,
Their sabres raised on high.
Ever by night, as the clock strikes twelve,
The General leaves his bed,
And rides along with his faithful guard
Whom he'd oft to glory led.
He wears the famed three cornered hat
AS in days of his earthly pride,
And is clad in plain and homely garb
With short sword by his side.
As the pale moon-beams, their glittering
sheen
Cast over woods and glades,
The Chief majestic still in death
Reviews his ghostly shades.
The grim, lank lines advance and halt
Present-and shoulder arms,
Then mid the clank of their armored bones,
Withdraw their spectral forms.
The veteran chiefs of the phantom hosts
Draw round him close and near,
And whisper low, as In court of death,
He breaths into their ear.
The war cry GRANGE" like dying wall
ls raised by rank and file, 4
And the answer tells Of humbled pride,

GENERAL HARLAN, of Kentucky,is GER

But each election has witnessed his defeat,

THE INDIAN question is one that will
be likely to occupy the attention of the
country somewhat, and the longer it pro-
crosses the more interesting it will become.
Assistant Secretary Cowan is preparing
replies to the recent letters of the Hon.
William Welsh, of Philadelphia, to Pro-
fessor Marsh and the President, on the
subject of the Indian Bureau frauds. And
now that the matter has reached to this
point of interest, we are awaiting patient
ly reply from President Grant to the
letter addressed to him by Mr.. Welsh.
But his long silence seems to indicate
that he is as poor at writing as he is at
speech making.

The earnest efforts Of Mr.. Plimsoll, in
the English Parliament to prevent the
seamen from embarking On unseaworthy
vessels, and administering condign pun
ishment to the owners of such vessels, has
not been without its salutary effects. In
England it has awakened the government
to a proper consideration Of this subject,
and in America it has attracted no little
attention. In New York it has been the
means of reviving the custom of closely
examining all water craft that carry pas
sengers. The laws in this regard are be-
ing more rigidly enforced, and the nurxber
of passengers they shall carry is being
named according to their capacity.

A Happy Reunion.

In 1861 Mr.. A. G.. Bailey resided in an
interior county OF this State, with his wife
and daughter, then quite child. Early
in the war he enlisted in the army, and
either from being sick or wounded, lay
long time in the hospital. Amid the ext
gencies of war, communication was cut off
between him and his family, and in the
meantime circumstances compelled their
removal. Several other removals took
place subsequently,, and the husband and
his family lost all track of each other. At
ter the war was over Mr.. Bailey sought his
family in every direction. but could learn
no tidings of them, and they mOurned
him as dead. After abandoning the
search for them. he removed to Oregon,
where he has practiced law ever since.
Having business in st. Louis, he arrived
in thiS city day or two ago, and
Yesterday in looking over the di-
rectory he found the name of a
lady identical with that of his long lost
wife. Scarcely daring to hope that it was
the one he sought. he started for the ad-
dress indicated, and when near the house
enc untered amember of the family whom
he recognized and who recognized him,
and in a few minutes thereafter there was
enacted one of the most touching scenes
that perhaps ever IOOk pIdce III OBJ i-OuiS.

In between this devoted husband and wife

will remain with his family here or they

that wherever their lot is cast the bright
ness of their future may atone for the mis-
cries of their past life.-St. Louis RePubti-

The American Hotel Guest.

The American hotel-guest is the sane
titled and purified ideal of what client
should be in the landlords view. He has
none of the European travellers vices. He
does not tyr4nniZe over and nag at the
walters nor jangle the bells as summons
to the proprietor for supposed derelictlons.
like an Englishman he does not spHtter
and sprawl and gormandize, and after
ward haggle over the bill. like the big
French vicomte; he does not bargain for
a cheaper room among the garrets, and
befDul his nest with cIgar-ends and klrsch-
bottles, like the German baron be does
not wall over the quality of his wine, or
destroy the riding horse he has hired with
gOading, or send dozen walters 70 col
lect the materials for his salad. and then
some night fold up his discomfort and in
selyently steal away, like the italian. In
contrast to these various insubordinate and
undutiful types the American tourist Is
ehaste ed saint. He expects his aceoSl-
mediation to be little or nothing, and the
bill for that little long. He grateful II the
hotel-clerk will look at him. and civil re-
mark from this potentate will set him up
| for a whole morning. He ties on his bib at
dinner, and watches with delight the dis
tant walters talking gossip with each
other, meanwhile amusing himself with
rattling his knife and fork, as good as
gold. When he needs pitcher of water
in his chamber, he peals for hours on his
bell, then genially puts his head into the
corridor. appealing to some domestic, who
chills him by saying that this is not his

Some Valuable ShOrt-hOrnS.

A remarkable collection Of shOrt-horn
cattle is now attracting attention IN New
York City where they are awaiting SNIP
ment to England for breeding purposes
They number fourteen in all, and have
been selected by competent and expert
enced buyers from every part OF the
United States and Canada at the almost
fabulous cost of S125,000 They are the
property of Mr. George W. Fox, the for
eign partner of A. L. Stewart, and VIII De
shipped by the steamer Holland 10 Eng
land. OF the fourteen valuable ANIMALS
three are from Kentucky, eight from
New York, two f ON Indiana, and one
from Canada. The two most valuable
beasts are from the celebrated plantatlOn
of Mr., A. j. Alexander, of Wood and
Park- Kentucky, and for them Mr.. Fox
maid the sum of $4,000. One is a bull
and the other heifer. For the former
$4,000 was paid paid, and for the latter
$4,000. This very choice selection OF our
purest and best pedigree stock cannot ialI
to raise our prestige in the old country.
They have been chosen for personal merit,
and are to iOin one of the most lmpOr' ant
herds across the Atlantic. Is is no easy
matter 70 ship this valuable lot Of animals,
and therefore Mr.. Fox and his numerous
agents are personally experimenting the
preparations made for their acconmoda-
ton on the steamer Holland. Numerous
carpenters are preparing stalls between
decks, which will be heavily padded, so
that no matter how much the vessel may

The Wonders of the Sea.

After several days energetic sightseeing
in very hot weather, we packed our valises
and stole away to the Isle of Wight, by
way of Brighton, where we stopped over
for three hours to see the aquarium. You
descend a series of elegant terraces, and
find yourself apparently at the bottom OF
the sea. Cool, arched, grOttO-like halls
extend in every direction, ending in ferne-
ries bright with falling water, while along
the sides of the long arcades, only cryS-
tai wall separates you from the watery
homes of the fishes, eels, and all the innu-
merable finny and funny inhabitants of the
deep. You look up through the green
water as if you were fish yourself, ana
know for the first time how it feels to be
at the bottom of the sea. Great, solemn.
aldernlanic-lOOking whiting swim up
and stare to your very eyes; enormous
conger eels writhe plavfully around your
head diOtic-leOking dog fish lie piled on
one another, and bliak placidly into your
face like so many sheep. while the skates
and the stingrays are tlattened out in pant
ing flaccidity upon the gravel at the bot
tom. Little silver herring and golden
hued young salmon drift about like clouds
lit by the moon, and on all sides, against
the rocks that vary the surface of the tanks,
wave the exquisite fringes of the sea-
anemOnes. Here, above all, is the supreme
beauty of the water-wOrld.
Every viriety of fringe and flower-cup
is mimiclled here in hues that fairly rival
the roses of the garden. Purest white,
soft, creamy yellOws, rich salmon color,
every shade of tender rose and glowing
red and royal purple and vivid green
spring from these rocks living flower,
with petals as delicate as they are deadly.
For these beautiful fringes and ethereal
looking bubbles of color are so many MUIR
derous arms outstretched for food. AS
we watch them swaying gentlyin the cur
rent, a poor little transparent shrimp
comes padding swiftly by. He touches a
rose-colored petal, it flashes round him, he
is sucked into the gorgeous heart of the
flower, and it closes contentedly over his
vanished form. They know their danger
generally, these poor little creatures, and
lid they touch ever so lightly the tip Of q
floating fringe, would sprirg away from il
with an electrical recOil. 1t is a very in
terestins thing to spend few hours al
! the bottom Of the sea to see the eight
| armed pieI.Urs hanging from the rocks, ol
! the green turtle sleeping peacefully just
| below the surface of the water; to watch
| the hermit crabs scuttling hastily about
each in his stolen shell {; and to study the
manner of the tip-tOeing crawtish and the
unboilrd lobster. There are curious fresh
water fish here, too, in large globes.
Among other the Mexican aZOtis, most
melancholy of fish, draped in inkv hues,
black as a hearSe and feathers, with plumy
tufts waving all about their diScOnsolate
heads. Then there are the telescope fish
from China swollen and distorted golden
carp. with their eyes so google that they
really look like spy-E Elasses.-Cor. London
