Senator Thurman has privately ex-
pressed his opinion that Hayes is most
likely to be the Republican nominee, for
the reason that each Of the three great
%contending parties, Morton, Blaine and
Bristow, would rather have Hayes than
either Of their competitors. Thus each,
if he can not get the nomination for him
self, will have the consolation that he
kept his rivals out of it. As to the demo
cratic nomination, Senator Thurman
thinks he will have but two competitors

DEAN.

l - = :
After denouncing Tilden as rail-
road attorney and swindler and in
every way unfit to be the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency, Henry
Clay Dean has, nevertheless, been
pressed into the service, and has writ
ten a two column letter to the St.
Louis Times giving in his rather re-
luctant adherence to Tilden & Hen
bricks.
We submit below two specimen
gems from this somewhat remarkable
letter:
"But We will not forget that it was
the Republican party which entailed
the public debt with all off injustice
and expressions of the people in the
clearest violation of all the laws of
political. economy"
unfortunately for the people of
the whole country, the public debt Is
q permanency, and threatens to be a
hateful inheritance to our children"
That's to say the Republican party
Of the South, in defense Of slavery,
arose in 1861 against the Government
of the United States, waging bitter
four years of war, creating IN i'm
mense national debt, which unfortu-
nately threatens to be hateful inner.
itance to our children.
n If Mr.. Dean don't mean to say this,
what does he mean?
u Capt. Evans, Lieut.. Hawley, and
the other members of the Morrlssey
Reform Club of this city, who fought
in the late war, ought to hide their
heads in very shame for the part they
took in making this "hateful inheri-
tance. y nv. 81. - Z.

Ready to Hitch.

A young man about q or % years
of age entered the clerk of the courts
office yesterday, and approaching Mr..
Bryant shyly, inquired the cost of a
marriage license. Mr.. Bryant in
formed him, and asked him if he
should issue one for him. "Well, no.
was the reply, but was thinking
maybe ! should want one. Last Sun
day l went to church and gal kun
and sot down by me. Looked at her
and she looked back. / laughed d

driver, I'll come and see you agin.' y
His eyes lit up and his whole face
beamed with a new life as he recited
his tale. When he had finished he
departed with light and elastic. step
which indicated that he then felt
more like man than he ever had
before. 4

Putting up e,ackberriea.

A lady of Burlington furnishes the
Ha,rk- Eye with her method for put
ting up blackberries. Put the berries
in kettle over slow fire, and stir
in sugar until it melts and the mass is
fairly heated through. Stir constant
ly while the berries are over the fire,
then empty into platters and drying
tins and put out doors or in the oven
to dry in the usual way. In day or
two the berries and sugar will be of
a pasty consistency, and can be cut
into small pieces for greater conven-
fence in handling, turning them over
from time to time while drying.
Berries dried in this manner are
superior to the berries dried in the
ordinary way, and possess delicacy
Of flavor that will impart to mid
winter blackberry pie naturalness of
taste that will make experienced
blackberry pickers feel for their right
,and to pull ont the briars.

A "REMINISCENCES.

Eighteen years ago yesterday, to-
wit: August 1, 1858, the writer and
James llawley, now deceased, had
trip to make East after our wives,
who were visiting, one in Ohio and
the other in New York. The first of
August IS, fell on Sunday, and the
little stern-wheel steamer "Ad. Hine,"
which had been up the river as far as
Des Moines, came down and landed
here, the sun being about half an
hour high in the morning. The steam
err hove to Immediately in the rear of
DIR. c. Z. Warden's store, which was
then a wooden structure. The bow
of the boat was within forty feet of
the back door of the store. The river
was, we should say, a foot higher than
1t has been at any time this season,
and had been up all summer. The
"Ad. Hine" stayed but few mo-
ments, and we travellers were soon
sailing down the river. The rains
had been so severe and the roads
were so bad, that we took this method
to reach railroad communication, the
ID. V. Railroad being then completed
to Bentonsport. We arrived there
steamboating right over the dams--at
IL O'Clock NJ. The boat going no fur
Their, and there being no train going
to Keokuk before 3 p. NJ. the next day,
some six or eight persons, including
ourself and Mr.. Hawley, borrowed
the skiff of the "Ad. Hine, promising
to return it by rail, and we set out for
Alexandria, Missouri, at the mouth of
the Des Moines. Night overlook us
some ten miles above Alexandria, and
we found, for the balance of the way.
some difficulty in keeping the chan
mel of the river, as it was there about
nine miles wide. About ten o'clock,
P. NJ, we made a landing at hotel in
Alexandria, after constable trouble
and attended with some danger, ow-
ing to the darkness and sweeping cur
rent and eddies, consequent upon the
commingling of the waters of the
Des Moines and Mississippi. The
lower story of the hotel was under
water, and along the main street in
Alexandria the water flowed, two to
three feet deep. The whole town was
submerged. From this place we took
steamer for Quincy, Ills, and from
thence east by rail.
From this account, one can ina CINE
what change has come over this
country in the way of communica-
ton East from those days, and the
further fact that, though this has been
wet season, it has been beat out of
sight in former years. In the summer
of 1858 the river was not within its
banks for continued season of eight
weeks.
