A HOG with an artificial leg must be
a touching and picturesque object. The
cow-catcher at Dunleith teok off one of
the hinder limbs of Mr.. Smiths hog,
and his benevolent owner made wooden
succedaneum and strapped II to the
stump. The creature shows its graf
itude by accommodating fat with great
rapidity, the only drawback being
that, when killing and curing time
comes, one Of the hams will have no
handle,

A SMALL daughter of Mr.. Moran, of
Rochester, was severely chewed by a
sagacious Newfoundland dog few days
ago. As the Rochester law permits
neither the killing of the dog nor its
owner, and the result of a civil suit in
which the Judge himself might be the
owner of dog, would be uncertain, Mr..
Moran has his mangled child on his
hands, a doctors bill TO pay, and no
hope of over getting even with the
facetious proprietor Of the intellectual
beast.

Vainly the sun was glowing,
And soft south winds were blowing
Vainly the earth awakened to bud and bloom
fingered the winter dreary
In my heart, with grief aweary,
As stosd with aching breast at the dosr OF tomb.
My dead lay prone and smitten, -
And no Resurgam, written
Across the cold, blank walls, IN promise shone;
No hint OF a far Forever,
But read the one word, " Never"
And saw that against the portal wall rolled stone.
Away turned me sadly:
No longer weeping madly,
Trusting to time for dullins the edge Of pain
The years went on, slow sweeping,
And MOSES came, slow creeping,
And hid the door that never shall open again.
lis not father or mother,
'Tis not sister or brother,
That lies where MOSES cover the close-shut door
A dream had fondly cherished,
A sweet hope, sadly perished-
This Is my dead that sleeps to awake no more.

THE San Francisco courts have decided
that a man undertaking to pass to the
left with an umbrella in his hand is
liable for all damage inflicted. In the
case wherein the decision was rendered
the plaintiff lost an eye from sudden con-
tact with the ferule of the umbrella,
and the jury gave him $299,99. If it
had not been for slight cast in the eye
the owner would have recovered 5000.

POETRY.
Friends Earring.

Not as the surplced priest salt, "Dust to dust"
Beside the open grave, because he must;
Not as the bride sends round her card and cake
For speech of people aud for customs sake;
Not as the grayer on the marble page
Cuts OF some man the name, the date, the age.
Nor thinks, nor cares whose hearts that name ma,
hold
Fen when the gravestone has grown gray and old:-
But with sincerity, with joy turn,
And drop my humble gift in friendships urn.
Heaven put no lack of sorrow In thy share
" mes allotment, and no want of care;
No path OF flowers no smooth and easy way
70 shun the burden and the heat of day,
But stout heart and devoted will,
Lies toes to meet, life's battles to fulfill.
And when burn low and dimly Natures fires,
And lifes last sunbeams court the tallest spires,
Though dark without within the light increase,i
And peace, the peace of God the God of peace.

Peter Cooper, in replying to the letter
informing him Of his nomination to the
Presidency by the Greenback Convention,
says: "While most heartily thank the
convention for the great honor they have
conferred upon me, kindly permit me to
say that there is bare possibility, if wise
counsels prevail, that the sorely needed re-
lief from the blighting effects of past IN
wise legislation relative to finance, which
the people SO earnestly seek, may yet be
had through either the Republican or
Democratic party, both of them meeting
in national convention at an early day. 1t
is unnecessary for NE to assure you that
while ! have no aspiration for the position
of Chief Magistrate of this great republic,
/ will most cheerfully do what I can to
forward the interests Of my country. l
therefore accept your nomination condi.
tionally, expressing an earnest hope that
the Independent party may yet attain its
aims, while permitting me to step aside
and remain in that quiet which is most
congenial to my nature and my time Of
life. PETER COOPER"

THE LAST SHOT AT BLAINE.

Another attempt has been made to de-
stroy Mr.. Blaine, and again has the con-
spiracv come to naught. If there are any
more private letters of the Maine states
man unpublished they should be given to
the public at once, as but short time
now remains in which to make them avail
ablo against him. So far every effort to
sInirch the ex-Speaker has redounded to
his benefit. The complete answer which
he has given to every attack has served to
strengthen him with the people, and few
more attempts Of this kind, with like re-
suits, would almost insure his nomination
at Cincinnati. And his answers have been
in each case SO full and complete that even
his enemies have been compelled TO Join
In his vindieation. The letter published
in the New York Sun proves simply this I:
that Mr.. Blaine was obliging enough to
serve his friends, and 30 notified them, as
requested, when he saw an opening where
he and they thought money could be in
vested to the advantage of them alone.
Under these circumstances he became the
custodian of certain funds, which were re-
turned to those who advanced them when
1T appeared that the opportunity that was
thought to exist could not be improved.
One Significant thing in MI. Blaine's letter
is the avowal that, the proposed investment
being in property that was subject to Con.
gressional legislation, he could have moth.
ing to do with the matter, though satisfied
that money could be made by the sransac;
ton. In vieWof all the facts that have come
out under the repeated charges against
Mr.. Blaine, we are prepared to believe
that he acted throug ghout his public life in
accordance with the rule he announced II
his late explanation in the House OF Rep
resentatives. Whenever coneeAlsnent 4

The following account of the massacre
of large portion of Capt. Stones party
of Cincinnatians en- route for the Black
Hills, was received at Cincinnati on the
1st inst: Part of the expedition was pass
ing through the sand hills, about fifty
miles from Red Cloud Agency. The men
had deposited their weapons in the wag-
ons and were struggling behind when the
Indians rushed down and cut them of
from the train and massacre followed
with but little resistance, the Indians num-
bering several hundred. The leaders,
Stone and James Wood, were among the
first to fall. The bearer Of the report de-
clares that not single one of a party Of
forty-nine escaped. Several of the bodies,
scalped and mutilated, were taken into
North Loup Fort, It is stated that nearly
all the Indians have left the agencies and
are on the wa.path.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVEN
TON.

The next Union Republican National Convention
for the nomination Of candidates for President and
Vice-President of the United States will be held in
the city Of Cincinnati on Wednesday, the 14th day
Of June 1876 at II O'Clock, noon and will consist Of
delegates from each State equal to twice the number
OF s Senators and Representatives In Congress and
OF two delegates from each organized Territory and
the District Of Columbia. '.'
In calling conventions for thc election Of delegates
the committees Of the several States are recon-
mended to invite all Republican electors, and all
other voters without regard to past political differ
ences or previous party affiliations, who are opposed
friendly feeling and permanent harmony Throughout
the country by maintaining and enforcing all consti-
tutional rights Of every citizens including the full
and free exercise Of the right Of suffrage, without
intimidation and without fraud; who are IN favor Of
the continued prosecution and punishment Of all
official dishonesty, and Of an economical admins
tration of the government by honest faithful, and
capable officers; who are In favor Of making such
reforms in the government as experience may from
time to time suggest; who are opposed to impairing
the credit Of the nation by depreciAting any Of Its
obligations, and In favor Of sustaining in every way
the national faith and financial honor; who hold
that the common-school system is the nursery Of
American liberty, and should be maintained abso-
for the promotion Of these ends the direction Of the
government should continue to be conded to tn ose
who adhere to the principles Of 1776, who support
them as Incorporated In the constitution and laws,
and who are IN favor Of reorganEing and strength
ening the fundamental principle Of the national uni
ty in this Centennial Anniversary Of the Republic.

desirable, an avoidance in advisable" Mr..
Blaine said he did not know Of any better
test to apply to the honor and fairness of q
business transaction, and it seems indeed
an excellent one. Judged by it, he main
tains his standing; and he who can do
likewise, is to be Congratulated.
And now is it not about time that these
attacks should cease! Is it probable or
possible that after tho scrutiny which Mr..
Blaine has undergone any dark corner in
his character remains to be explored! Has
not his entire life, public and private, been
held up to the MONDAY sun, that every
flaw and speck could be detecteds Do we
not know the worst that can be told; and
when the worst is no more dreadful than
this, have We not before us man pretty
free, as the world goes, from human error?
We trust that this may be the last attempt
to drag Mr.. Blaine down, but should other
attempts be made the experience of the
past few months assures his friends that
he will be ready to meet them.-Inter-
