Political Notes.

At Baltimore, yesterday, the Democratic city
convention unanimously nominated Gen. Fer
dinand c. Latrobe for Mayor.
Wendell Phillips has been heard from. AS
usual his opinions differ from those OF most peo-
pie and are both unique and vigorously ex-
pressed. Ho writes that i'll his judgment Presi-
dent Grant is the safest man to elect in 1876,
and that, after him, the next best and most to
be depended on ID General Butler.
Hon. Rutherford B. Hayes, the Republican
candidate for Governor Of Ohio, served gallantly
during the war, was elected to Congress in 1864
and 1866, and In 1867 and 1869 was chosen Gov
ernor OF Ohio, beating suoeessively Allen e..
Thurman, and George II. Pendleton. There
is no doubt Of his great popularity with the
masses of the people, and the pressure, at
Columbus, for his nomination WAS a popular
movement not to be resisted.
1t is already apparent that Ohio will become
the battle-ground for the preliminary President
ial contest. Pennsylvania may be safely counted
upon az Republican. With Hartranft at the
head Of the ticket, and the campaign cleared OF
all possible Third Term complications, there is
every reason to believe that the regular majority
Of the party will be increased Washington
Republican.
A New York State newspaper points out prob
ably the most conspicuous case of political car
pet-bagism in 1.-THE country, by describing tht
career OF ex-Gov. Walker, of Virginia, who il
now leading candidate for the L. S. Senate, OF
the Democratic side, and will probably succeed
in getting the seat of Mr.. Johnston. the presen
incumbent. He is from New York where h'
taught school in Seneca Falls, and practiced law
in Binghamton. During the war he was not
soldier but sutler, under Ben Butler, then set
tied in Norfolk, was elected to the Governor
ship, claiming to be "true Republican" but
the very day after his election was known, turne
traitor, became one OF the worst scalawags il
the state, and is now cock o the walk OF til
Conservative-white-mans party in Virginia.

sharp Boys Who Formed a Ring

witcher, butcher in Sioux City, thought he'd
play q trick on his boys and get an enormous
amount of work out OF them during the coming
year. He had traded for pony, and all his boys
wanted the animal, and each claimed him as his
individual property. They quarrelled too, and
became unmanageable.
Witcher conceived plan OF settling the dis
pute, restoring harmony III his family and max
ing good speculation at the same time. He
told the boys he would put the pony up at auc-
ton, they to be tine only bidders, and sale as
sured the highest bidder was to have the pony
with the privilege of paying for the property
by work to be performed during the year.
They all wanted the pony 80 unanimously that
he supposed they would bid high.
But he found out his mistake too late. The
boys formed ring. The pony was knock
ed down to the youngest shaver at s25.25, who
sold the animal to Black Hill emigrsnt for
s75. He paid the old man the auction price,
and had S49.75 to divide among his brothers.
They will be ready for business when the time
comes.

A Mica bonanza,

The Salt Lake Tribune thus speaks Of a very
rich mine Of mica just discovered close by that
city: The mica mines are situated in North
Mil creek canyon. about five miles from the line
OF the Utah Central Railroad. The belt Is about
1000 feet In width and 5000 feet in length, ly-
ing in granite foundation, through which the
mica is distributed in large quantities.
Sheets have been obtained SKA inches, and
abundance of the article can be obtained of that
size. Development will doubtless open beds
from which sheets of anv size can be taken. A
fine graded road runs from the railroad to the
mines. The stream carries water sufficient to
run forty stamps. Wood is to be found in in
exhaustble quantities within one to two miles
from the MINES. The fortunate owners are Jer-
ONE Cross, Doc. Smith, and the Gray boys.

Cutting Flowers.

Never cut flowers during intense sunshine
nor keep them exposed to the sun or wind.
Do not collect them in large bundles, or tie
them together, az this hastens their decay. Do
not pull them, but cut them cleanly oil the
plant with sharp knife-not with scissors.
When taken in doors place them in the shade,
and reduce them to the required length Of
stalk with sharp knife, by which the tubes,
through which they draw up water, is permit
ted to ascend freely whereas, If the stems are
bruised or lscerated, the pores are closed up.
Use pure water to set them in, OF pure white
sand in state Of saturation, sticking the ends
Of the stalks into it, but not In crowded man,
ner. hin water alone, it ought to be changed
daily and thin slice should be cut on the ends
of the stalks at every change Of water.

10 FREE ny HALF.

General Sheridan has gone the natural way OF
all bachelors. He has taken the matrimonial
plunge, despite all the grave warnings of history
on this subject The one thought of Little
Phil's fellow citizens should be to wish him
happiness ut this interesting and momentous
point in his pilgrimage, but We observe that the
busy-bodies take liberties more free than re-
spectfu The meddlers had no excuse. for it
was expressly given out that this was to bo a
wedding without form or pretenson'
When people conduct themselves 80 as to make
society feel it has as much share in the per-
formance as It chooses to take nothing can be
ssd in opposition, except, indeed, on the score
of good taste, but when couple show by their
sensible and modest action that they desire to
be let alone, any breaking into that reserve be-
comes An impertinence. But q. Lieutenant Gen
eral is not married every day, and Little Phil
might have known that the ". T. Herald would
write him up" no matter if the wedding WAS
celebrated in the very simplest form. Doubtless
no harm is meant by this sort Of newspaper
vulgarity but it may be supposed hat such in
difference to the feelings may often be very
keenly felt. 1t must be pleasant, for instance,
for the parties concerned to read that General
Runker's (ths BRIDES father presents not made
public, but it must of necessity be unpreten-
tous.n This, it strikes us, is impudence of a
very bold kind. If the editor Of the Herald WAS
poor man, how would he fancy his plentiful
lack Of funds being advertised in that fashion,
and what right has he to take similar
liberty with any citizen? Again
We read in this elaborate peace of snobbery,-
Al. :. n,,J
does not approach in magniicence of detail
those which other noted brides have displayed
within the past year, still it will in no manner
disgrace the position. Whatever it may lack in
quantity is made up in quality" What excuse
can there be for such an offense against good
breeding and good feeling as that? Thing'
have come to pretty pass when the privacy o
lady's toilet is to be thus invaded.

President Scott states that the Pennsylvania
Railroad is not suffering from tho hot competi-
tion and low rates entailed by the railroad war.
He announces that the accounts OF the company
for the four months ending April 3Oth OF this
year have been carefully made up, and show
that the entire decrease in gross earning on
through and competitive business for that period
is s444, ,66s.0s. and allowing as net profit on
this traffic 25 per cent, which s. perhaps, above
the average of the profit on through business, a
net loss is shown of about S1ll 200, being less
than one sixth Of per cent ont of the annual
fund for dividend purposes. This represents in
part, too, a loss from reduced tonnage to and
from the seaboard, resulting from the de-
pressed condition of the country.

ErGn New Mexico.

4 private letter, dated at Silver City,
New Mexico, July Is, says:
Silver City would surprise you now,
as compared with its appearance when
you were here last November. New
buildings of substantial character, are
going up on nearly every street in
town. This is all owing to the inn
proved yield of our mines and farming
and grazing operations. The new
| building of J. +. Bennett " Co., to be
used as an extension Of their present
large store, will be sixty feet in 'front.'
thus giving them II front of no feet,
They have now II very large stock of
merchandise, and their trade is large
~ increased. This is true of ii. NJ. POr-
ter, |. n. Cohen, and others, You will
observe by the Herald, which | send
you, that our bullion shipments are
largely on the increase, and are at the
rate OF about three-quarters Of NH
lion a year. Of course this makes
things lively. Bennett u Co. are con-
stantly adding to the facilities of their
silver mill Their shipment Of bull
lion last week was Sl0,O0O, and Others
in proportion. Bennetts eNpest to
have an additional stamping force by
next spring No one can look at our
mines and doubt that we will soon
be upon the millions with our annual
tribute of the precious metals One
thing is worth noting in this connec-
ton, to-wit; If the California
end of the South Pacific reaches
this region first, our bullion
is sure to go that way for
obvious reasons: First, cost of trans
portalion, and second, we can always
buy our quicksilver cheaper in San
Francisco than in New York, and
many other articles which we con-
sumo. Hence the bnilding of the
Western end first will naturally at.
tract our bullion that way, and of this
fact Mr.. Scott, Mr.. Car and other rail-
road magnates should take notice. The
Longfellow Company has refused $780,
600 cash for half interest in their
copper mine. The money was already
up. They are shipping now about
10000 pounds of pig coppera month;
and will increase even on this. III
seems to be about the biggest thing in
the way Of II copper mine on tho COM
tiuent, They havea face of $50 feet
