Office which I have been twice called upon to
fill to answer such question before the subject
should be presented by competent authority
to make nomination, or by body Of such
dignity and authority as not to make reply
fair subject Of ridicule.
THE SURPRISE or ULYssES
In fact, have been surprised that SO many
sensible persons in the republican party
should permit their enemy to force upon
them and their party an issue which cannot
add strength to the party, no matter how met
WORTH NOTICE AT LAST.
But body Of the dignity and party au-
thority Of convention to make nominations
for the State officers of the second State in
the Union having considered this question
l deem it not improper that should speak.
BETTER TO DE GENERAL THAN PRESIDENT.
In the first place, never sought the Office
for second, nor even for first, nomination.
To the first was called from life position,
one created by Congress expressly for me
for supposed services rendered to the Re
public
ULYSSES UNDER MS ITO TREE
The position vacated / liked 1t would
have been most agreeable to me to have re-
tanned it until such time as Congress might
have consented to my retirement with the rank
and portion Of the emoluments which SO
much needed to home where the balance Of
my days might be spent in peace and the en-
joyment OF domestic quiet, relieved from the
cares which have oppressed me SO constantly
now for fourteen years.
WHY HE SACRIFICED HndsELR.
But was made to believe that the public
good called me to make the sacrifice. With
out seeking the Office for the second term the
nomination was rendered to me by a unani-
nous vote Of the delegates Of oil the States
and Territories selected by the republicans Of
each to represent their whole number for the
purpose of making their nomination
PLEASED AT LAST.
/ cannot say that was not pleased at this,
and at the overwhelming Endorsement which
their action received at the election following.
But il must be remembered that all the sacri-
fees, except that Of comfort, had been made
in accepting the first term.
RouNDLY ABUsED-roo BADl
Then, too, such fire Of personal abuse and
SANDER had been kept up for four years, not
withstanding the conscientious performance
Of my duties TO the best Of my understand
ing, though admit in the light Of subse-
quent events, many times subject to fair criti-
cism, that an Endorsement from the people,
who alone govern republics, was gratifca-
ton that it is only human to have appreciated
and enjoyed.

'Gentanella ranks fairly ore Of the few

author exhibits rare taste and knowledge in
music and the fine arts. and her characters move

Taking for motto damets words, ST thou dost
marry, I'll give hee this plague for thy dowry:
Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou
shalt not escape calumny," and deriving thence
her somewhat sensational title, Mrs. Despard
constructs upon this fruitful theme rather COM
plicated plot, in the uIraveling Of which she ex-
hibits a subtle analysis Of motive, a refinement
Of thought, power Of rejection a strength and
deicacy Of characterization, which are rarely
equalcd, and which place her il the front rank
among English female noyeists.

VIM Jordan, noted journ alist of fifty years ago.

THE WILD NORTH LAND BY Major W. F. Butler.
&. r., f. Il. G.. s. With Illustrations and
route map. Philadelphia: Porter & Coates
From Il. &. Eyrch, 40 Canal stree New Or
leans.
This fascinating volume is the record Of a
journey mostly on fCot-a winters wali--fr from
the Atlantic to the Pacific coast OF British North
America from Lake Wlnnepeg, west and narth
to Lake Athabasca, thence west to the great
Canon Of the Peace River in the Rocky Noun
tains, and south to the Pacific Coast at the point
of Vancouyers Island.
Written at intervals, by the camp fire, while
resting men and dogs, tie narrative bears marks
of the rough scenes amid which it was penned,
but it is a graphic delineation OF strange tramp
across vast prairies, whose far distant horizon
reaches for miles ere it is attained; through
gloomy passes between ice-topped, glacier
scared, impossible noun aims; traversing vast
forests whose sonbre pines darken region halt
as large as Europe; crossing great rivers
shrouded in ice and glimmering in the changing
lights OF the auroral streamers-alone in this
vast wilderness, save half-breed Indian servant
and three gaunt Esquimaux dogs.
