1t is Probably True.

We are not in the habit of accept.
ing the Pioneer-Press and Tribune
as authority for anything, for it is
our experience that, no matter what
the alias it assumes, that sheet can
not avoid the habits it formed in
early life and which have been con-
tlrmed by long years of practice. 1t
is still the same old reckless and
unreliable newspaper with which the
people Of this State have long been
familiar. It occasionally, however,
tells the truth and we should not be
surprised if the following, which we
take from its columns is true. 1t
is certainly characteristic Of the
conduct Of the namelsss political
trickster and adventurer to whom
it refers:
We are informed, on what seems to be
good authority, that Hon. I. -- is still
engaged in his two horse act-that Of ridin 9
one and Of leading the other by the nose.
In other words, he has mounted his green
back hobby for still hunt compaign; is
drumming up delegates for the Indianapo-
lis greenback national convention on the
18th inst; which he is going to attend him
self in person, and is at the same time en-
ployed in efforts to pack the Minnesota dem
| ocratic State convention in the interest Of
Judge David Davis, Of Illinois. He rides
| the greenback hobby, but means to kee,,
| the democratic steed we'll in hand, so that
| when the one gives out he can mount the
| other. It is i feat that requires considera-
| bic assurance combined with wonderful
agility, but experience and the do
cility of the nags, are in his favor, and
therefore, if anybody can do it, he eau. l;
is not new thing for him to make the first
quarter OF a race on one horse, and the
home stretch on another.

ance, as might be suspected, has an Interior
object, not at first visible on the surface. fo1

REV. Mr.. Winslow, the Bostol

Rev. Mr.. Winslow, the Boston
forger who fled to Holland, went
thence to England, and was there
arrested for extradition, seems to
have outwitted his pursuers after all.
The English government is willing to
surrender him under the treaty, but
insists that he shall be tried only for
the single offence for which his sur
render is demanded. AS he is accus-
ed of several indictable crimes, this

NO more ridiculous farce was
ever attempted than that of which
the congressional House of Repre-
sentatives is now guilty in attempt
ing the impeachment of ex-Secreta-
ry Belknap. If it succeeds it can
amount to nothing, for Mr.. Belknap
could hardly have succeeded in re-
gaining any official position in the
government. And whether it sue
ceeds or not 1t makes of the offend
ed an object Of persecution, awak-
ems sympathy in his favor, and
brings that measure Of contempt up
on the prosecuting body which dis
plays Of malevolence always elicit
and always deserve. These re-
suits are bad enough, to say nothing
about the expense occasioned in
time and money.

One Of the silliest things we
have ever read is a letter written by
L. H. Fitzhugh, one Of the door,
keepers Of the present House Of
Representatives, to friend in Tex
as. The writer evidently imagines
that his oficia! position is the most
important in the government and
that tclothes him with power almost
imperial. He tells his friend that
"old Grant," as he calls him, is not
his equal; and boasts Of the manner
in which he is crowded by applicants
for subordinate appointments.

from being annoyed or discounted by
their reception, however, it only served
for topic of jest and laughter The
young lady was as light-hearted as a

gayly as she had ever done in the cheer

FOR THE SENTINEL.
PARTED FOREVER.
BY II. CLAY PREuss.

We net in the sweet month Of roses,
When all things grow lovely and fair;
When Nature in beauty reposes,
And heaven is breathed in the air.
Our souls were in tune with the season
With bird, plant, and flower and sun;
We paused not to question the reason
Why our spirits commingled in one.
Like the wild dreamy odors of flowers,
That blow in tropical cline,
Love charmed into moments the hours,
Till we laughed at the conquerer, Time.
We were thrilled with nassion SO tender,
That Heaven seemed revealed in a glance
And the old Earth shone out with a splendor
Like the soul of saint in his trance.
Our love was SO pure and true-hearted,
To be envied by angels above;
All why should our own hands have arted
The links of that beautiful love?
We threw away madly treasure,
That should have been guarded with care
The value of jewels so rare.
We both nursed proud, foolish spirit,
That would not forgive nor relent,
And the terrible woes we inherit
Have taught us, too late, to repent.
All light were the causes to sever
Two spirits so blended in one
But the seal of an awful Forever
Is stamped on the deed we have donel

All About the Clouds.

Whenever, on account of some topo-
graphic circumstances, the sun heats any
locality on the surface of the earth more
than the surrounding region, gentle
current or column of heated air rises,
and its invisible moisture is condensed
into small masses of clouds called cum u
Ii, which spread and produce the notified
appearance commonly known as "macke-
rel sky" But when, as is frequently
the case in summer, valley, or plain,
or island, or any other place, is much
more highly heated by the sun than the
surrounding region, the heated air over
such locality rises more rapidly and with
more ascensional Momentum; aud, as it
reaches the higher and cooler regions of
the atmosphere, its moisture is condensed
into large rounded volumes or mountain
like masses Of cumulus clouds Such
cumulus clouds always precede and char
acterize local summer storm or shower.
When the warm horizontal current
from the South, as in winter, meets with
the cold currents of the North, it slopes
upward over the cooler current, and
forms stripes or bands of stratus clouds
slong the horizon These stratus clouds
indicate to the observer the fact that a
warm current is coming northward. -
When in summer q cool current is NOV
ing southward it encounters the warm
equatorial or tropical current, which
again glides upward and over it, and
forms horizontal bands of stratus clouds
along the upper line of contact, as in
winter storms; but, in addition, the
dcnser cold air from the north, moving
with more momentum. will lift up the
warm and saturated air from the tropics,
and its moisture will be condensed into
masses of cumulus clouds banked up
against the top of the cold current, and
arranged over the horizontal stratus
clouds. Thus is produced the combina-
ton of cumulo-stratus cloud, which is
characteristic of progressive summer
storms.
TO the tornado cloud produced by {
whirl of air, and resembling an inverted
cone, Prof Baisius gives the name o.
conuS, which is both distinctive and ap.
propriate. These four typical classes o
clouds, viz /: cumulus, stratus, cumulo
stratus and conus, indicate and char.
acterizc the four different classes o.
storms.

FAILURES IN BUSINESS. We have
seen an estimate that Of the men in mer-
camille life, about ninety per cent
ultimately prove to be failures. In nc
other business or profession is this the
case. Ministers do sometimes fail Of
success in their profession, but such
cases are very rare, and when they dc
occur, it is easy to discover reasons why
they should never have entered into that
profession Nearly the same may be
said of the law and medicine Farmers
rarely fail--never but from 'providen-
tiaP' causes, or improper habits. Me-
chanics who attend legitimately to their
business nearly all succeed. But, as
will be seen by careful observation, about
nine merchants fail once, at least, where
one has continued career of success, and
yet so many Of our young men have a
great desire for mercantile life thinking,
perhaps, it is life of case and comfort,
but in a large majority Of cases, it is
anything but bed of roses.

A WONDERFUL PAINTING. There is
now on exhibition in New York most
curious picture. 1t is painted by Franz
Perl an Austrian artist and titled 'Thc
Head Of Of Jesus Christ upon the Hand
kerchef Saint Veronica The subject
has been frequently used by the old
painters, and the legend is too well Known
to need repetition here; this picture
however, has striking feature not
found in the ancient picture, the almost
miraculous manner in which the eyes
are painted Standing directly before
the picture one sees the thorH-cr9Naed
head in all its CHASTITY misery the eyes
closed, and the darsened shadows Of
death above the palid lids. Retreating
step by step one sees that the eyes are
open and look toward heaven with Il
yelled expression of love aud sadness
The effect becomes more aud more
startling; the face seems to grow less
pallid, the expression Of the eyes more

DEBT. The first step necessary for the
emancipation Of the farmer is to get out
of debt, the next step is to keep out. If
you owe nobody, the money in your pock-
ct, the crops on your farm, and the farm
itself, are all yours. Then you may buy
at the lowest cash prices, and if you have
anything to sell you can get your own
price or keep it.

A Beautiful Extract.

The following beautiful extract, writ
ten by George d. Prentice, contains
some wholesome truths beautifully set
forth:
"Men seldom think of the great
event of death until the shadow falls
across their own path, hiding forever
from their eyes the traces of tho loved
ones whose loving smile was the sun
light of their existence, Death is the
great antagonist of life, and the cold
thought of the tomb is the skeleton of
all feasts We do not want to 20
through the dark valley, although the
passage may lead to Paradise aud,
with Charles Lamb, we do not want to
lie down IN the muddy grave, even
with kings and princes for our bed-fel-
lows. But the fiat of Nature in inexor-
able. There is no appeal of relief from
the great law which dooms us to dust.
We flourish and fade as the forest and the
flower that blooms and withers in day
has not Trailer hold on life than the
mightiest monarch that ever shook the
earth with his footsteps Generations
of men appear and vanish as the grass
and the coutlcss multitudes that throng
the earth to-day, will Tomorrow disap-
pear as the footsteps on the shore.
:" In the beautiful drama of Ion, the
instinct Of immortality so eloquently
uttered by the death of the devoted
Greek, finds a deep response in every
soul When about to yield his young
existence sacrifice to fate, his beloved
Clemanthe asks if they shall not meet
