There be noblemen and noblemen

If the newspaper reports of this for
eigner are half true, he Is anything
but noble. He has been owe in
Philadelphia as an Austrian Com
missioner 10 the Exhibition, has
dined with Dom Pedro, and been
received with marked hospitality.
AS a lady's man he was ever a sue
cess, though we do not learn that he
made any serious inroads in the affec-
tions of the Quaker City's daughters.
We hope not. 1t Is bad enough that
he should have pulled the wool over
the eyes of his own sex to have daz-
zled the eyes o the proverbially acute
ladies of Philadelphia would have
been a conquest too shocking to en-
dure, for the Earon is a mistake-a
slip of the tongue,as it were-a cheap
fraud-a confidence man-an escaped
convict. He came over to America
the first of May, and from his head
quarters in New York planned his
expeditions and campaigns against
public confidence and private proper

were not strong enough to hold him,

Anything To Beat Blaine.

The New York Tribune Washing
ton correspondent telegraphed on the
night of the 9Th inst: "The Demo-
Gratis in the House, although hard
pushed with important legislative
matters, find 1t convenient to give
whatever time Is needed to anybody
who hopes to be able to get advan-
tage of Blaine. 1t is observed no
other candidate Is attacked; that
Bristow, Conkling Morton and others
are disregarded; and while all Demo-
Gratis from Proctor Knott up and
down say they hope Blaine will be
ominated at Cincinnati 1t Is observed
that they are doing according to their
understanding all they car to prevent
such event. After Tarbox concluded
to-day Frye asked him a few ques-
tions, but the young member in at
tempting to answer, being outside OF
his notes, madc n pitiful exhibit.
When Blaine obtained the floor he
treated Tarbox with most exasperat-
ing contempt;hIs contemptuous treat
ment Of Tarbox and his whole
speech SO marked and cutting that
all admit that Tarbox has gone to
join the noble army of political
corpses that:strew Blaine's path. Even
Democrats say Tarbox was unmerci-
fully thrashed.
The Tribune's Cincinnati cores
pondent says Conkling men are spend
ing much money, will keepnp scand-
ais against Blaine to the last and hope
to have contest finally narrowed down
to Conkling and Morton. Morton
men though, are less confident. Gin
cinnati people oddly enough are for
Bristow and not for Hayes. In half
of the shop windows Bristows' pic
ture is displayed. The Hayes move
ment has apparently no strength at all
in this city and very little in the State.
Well informed gentlemen who do
not support Blaine tell me to-day,
ex-speaker Blaine will have from 16
to 20 votes from the Ohio delegation.

Tweed. Tilden and Morrissey.

Mr.. John Morrissey was the mos

ST. Louis, and the New York Sun i

which we know to be true:

rissey to Governor Tilden. recently, on,
of the Governors friends spoke o
William NJ. Tweed's escape from jail
"I'm glad that Tweed got AWAY" sait
Mr.. Morrissey.
"Why do You say that 2" asked Gov
ernor Tilden.
Because" replied the Senator, 81
think he has suffered enough for his
crimes"
The Governor looked sharply at the
Senator, and said, "Morrissey, YOU
don't dare express that opinion pub
licly."
ooh, yes, | dare" answered Mr.. Nor
Tweed in 1868, before it was known
that he had done anything wrong But
you stuck TO him until 1871
The Governor scowled, and changed
the topic.
Mr.. Morrisscy is Mr.. Tilden's bosom
friend. He is one of the leaders of
"reform." He is now Mr.. Tilden's
chief pillar in New York, as he was al

Tilden's connection with Tweed is au-

VALLEY HOME, Sept. /, 1876
ED. EAGLE: Despite the grasshop-
pers and the inclemency of the weather,
Thursday evening we found our way
over to the Valley Home school house.
where we had been kindly invited a
few days previous by some Of the MEM
bers Of Home Grange, to participate
in one Of their social feasts, &c. We
hesitated somewhat about starting, for
we felt kind of dubious about the
weather; thought it might not only
soil our paper collar, but put damper
on the social feature of the occasion
by keeping everybody away but the
clouds clearing away q little, aud that
ever-hankering desire TO feast, led us
on-and what was our surprise upon
arriving there to find that we we're not
the only one that had ventured out.
but thirtynine others. all told by act
ual count, and two carriage loads ar
irving shortly after from the city.
Everybody seemed TO be sociable and
in the best of spirits, and while the
crowd was busily engaged laughing,
talking and entertaining each other.
several ladies were equally as busy at
one end of the building, piling the
good things, to which there seemed to
be no end, upon an already groaning
table. And then, Mr.. Editor, to appre-
ciate the good things you should of
been there. There was piles of cakes
and pies, sliced melons, roast beef,
duck, turkey and chicken, and other
edibles that were good for the inner
man, innumerable. Your humble SER
want could not begin to more than taste
one-half of the good things that were
there, although he laid in flooring
that would of done justice to man
of j. Nj. Steele's dimensions about the
dinner basket. Everybody being filled
to their utmost capacity, and supper
over, the tables were soon removed,
and room made for dancing, which was
INDUCED in by both old and young,
and kept up until the "wee sma' hours
of night" On parting, all declared
that it had been the most pleasant of
pleasant times.
May Home Grange ever flourish,
have many such socials, and remember
us, is the wish of Ri.

Half q Million in Gold dug up in San Jose.

cavating for the foundation of Col

near the express Office, this morning.
struck his spade against substance
not usually met in the loan here, and
Il moment later the deliver brought to
light the neck of a huge earthen jar of
very primitive style. This vessel is
now on exhibition at Georges saloon,
is about the size of large beer kcg,
and when uhcorked, by its lucky dis
coverer, was found to be full OF solid
gold nuggets and dust as pure as ever
came from Dutch Flat or Sacramento.
How much it amounts to is not yet as
certained, but the generous discoverer
felt that there was enough to make
himself and dozen comrades comfort
able the rest of their days, ne having
at once divided the spoil with them.
When the gold shall have been weighed
banker on El Dorado street remark
ed that he thought it would realize at
least half million. This was the
cause of the rush of people to the new
mines to-day, aud hundreds offered
their services to Mr.. Martin to dig the
balance of his cellars for what they can
make. An alderman.went so far as to
tender bonus for this privilege, and
others made equal extravagant propo-
sitions, but whether they will be ac-
cepted or not, we are unable TO say.
At last accounts the city constabulary
were stationed in front of the Dig
gings to keep the mob from undermin-
ing adjacent buildings in search for
more jugs Of the metal. The pot found
is supposed to have been buried by an
old alcade who lived here in the mid
die of the last century.

and the substitution of one single tax
upon property.

Col. Plumb.

The Topeka Blade is advocating Col
Plumb's election to the United States
Senate. 1t speaks of him as one of the
most brilliant, eloquent and able men
in the State. The Blade is on the right
track now. II is not the first time the
Blade and the SPIRIT have agreed. The
speech of Plumb at the Wichita ratifi-
cation meeting last week was undeni-
ably the most brilliant, logical and
forciDle ever delivered in Kansas, and
convinced many, who have heretofore
doubted, that he is the coming man in
Kansas politics. He has the force and
tact to win, and he aciU win.
We understand that he will take part
i'll the State canvass this fall, and we
will venture the assertion that when it
is over the name of Preston b. Plumb
will stand at the head of the list of
Kansas political orators and leaders.
We want him over here in the Second

Murder.

a dispatch from St. Leuis, dated
August 31st, says: ''From advice re-
ceived from Decatur, Texas, we learn
that the Rev. w. G. England, a Meth
odist minister, his wife, step daugh-
ter and four step sons were murdered
at their home, six miles from Mouta-
que, last Saturday night, by party of
disguised men. No particulars of the
liendish act have been received, but it
is supposed that the butchery was
committed for money as the family
was rich" The Democrats of Texas
have commenced to enthuse, and the
list of Methodist ministers will de-
crease with the same ratio.

All Right.

AT the reception given to Hon. j. NJ
Steele, of Wichita, on Monday night
at Topeka, among the speeches made
none were more pathetic or earnest
than the one made by Mr.. George Tau
Der, of this city. He said that the
proudest act of his life was when he
enlisted in the Eleventh Kansas regi-
ment to fight for the Union. While in
the service he was wounded, and was
a prisoner i'll the hands of the rebels
for months. He could never vote for
a party that favored the disruption of
the Union, and he was sorry to say that
some of his German brethren, by mis-
representation, were now supporting
the disunion party. He was born in a
foreign country, but he hoped his right
arm might wither if he ever forsook
the flag that had given him and his
friends protection and a home. The
German is naturally lover of liberty
and an opponent of tyranny. His
proper place in America is in the Re-
publican party, which has proven itself
to be the friend of the oppressed of all
climes. Mr.. Tauber believed that when
the Germans understand the truth and
thoroughly appreciate the political sit
uation, they would rally to the support
of Hayes and Wheeler with unanilnity
and enthusiasm. He said he should
make several speeches to his German
friends in the State during the cam
paign.-C Commonwealth.

Century Vase.

A lady resident of Jacksonville, H.,
writes us the following note inclosing
avery accurate description of the WON
derful memorial vase at Philadel-
phia:
81 frequently receive your excellent
paper through my sister and have be-
come greatly interested in it. This ar
ticle have written for your columns,
should you deem it worthy of publica-
ton. Allow me to compliment YOU las
a citizen of Kansas, upon the fine dis
play made at our exhibition.
Yours Respectfully"
about the center of the Main Ex-
hibition is the Gorham Company's ex-
hibit of solid silverware. Conspicuous
in this display is the Century Vase"
1t is not SO muci, the workmanship
though that is exquisite--as the de-
sign that attracts, as it represents the
progress of America from its earliest
existence as a nation, to the present
time ; century of brilliant achieve
monts and triumphs! Poor and s.rug-
Cling then, now standing pre-cminent
among the powers of the earth.
The vase which is of solid silver, has
base five feet four inches in length,
and the front of it, representing the
first stage of civilization, is the IL
dian and pioneer; at either end scat
tered in plenteous confusion, fruits,
flowers and cereals the natural pro-
ducts Of the soil A slab of highly
polished granite signifying the
strength aud solidity of our govern
ment, supports a band of gold stars
-thirty-eight in number, thirteen OF
which are placed in front TO signify the
original number ofStates in the Union.
At either end above this are two
groups: on the left is the Genius OF
War in the midst of the battle ground
in her right hand she waves aloft a
burning torch, while her left grasps
firmly the chains that hold in check
the fierce dogs of War" A she'll has
shattered tree, and broken caisson
wheel and other remnants of q battle
lay half buried in the debris at her feet
Opposite is 4 lion led by little children
everything denotes perfect peace and
security; olive branches, various mu-
steal instruments and beautiful flowers
strew the ground From the center
rises q circular column. In front rest
ing on a graceful festoon, is medal
lion on which is the Angel of Fame,
clasping in one hand the palm branch
and laurel, while the other holds q
wreath Of immorteles and a portrait
of Washington. On the medallion on
the opposite side, the Spirit of philos-
ply and diplomacy rest one hand OH
the printing press and carries in the
other the portrait Of Franklin. On
either side is head of the buffalo,
liking Of the prairie"
The base represents the condition
prior to and during the revolution.
America now begins her growth, hence
rises the vase gracefully proportional.
On the front panel stands Genius in
scribed ona large tablet, the advance
made in science aud fine arts. On the
reverse panel, Genius recording the
progress in manufactures and COM

confident that the Republicans will get
the State. He said 10 a reporter of the

he thought all of the Liberal Republi-

that the Greenback ticket would draw
about equal from both parties.
