A Sly OLD FOX.

The Reese River (Nev.) Reveille
tells the following: "There was an old
fox which for period of several years
had continually evaded the fieetest
and keenest-scented hounds, the scent
being invariably lost in the vicinity
of house situated in the woods and
removed from any habitation, and
which was used as a store house for
pelts. At last one day the hounds
started the old fox, and away he went
in the direction of the house, with a
pack Of young hounds in full cry af.
ter him, but on nearing the house he
disappeared leaving the hounds and
hunters non -plussed as usual. While
the hunters were gathering in and
around the house discussing the fre-
quent mysterious disappearance Of the
fox, veteran hound came lining up,
and, entering the door, set up vigor.
Gus barking and tried to jump up on
the wall. His singular action attract
cd the attention of the hunters, and
an examination being made, the old
fox was found suspended by his tail to
a nail in the wall, keeping perfectly
still, and looking, unless closely OBJ
served, like the pelts with which the
walls were hung This plainly showed
that the old fox, when too closely
pressed, had taken refuge in the house
and hung himself up on the nail by
his tail, which was the reason for the
dogs always losing the scent at that
particular place."

A NOVEL LEAP YB AR PARTY.

1t may amuse some of our party.po-
ing readers to reveal to them a new
style OF leap-year amusement now i'm
vogue among the fashionable folks of
Atlanta, Georgia. A look at the pro-
gramme inclines US to believe that a
good deal of harmless fun could be
made out of such gathering: The
party Is to be entirely composed of
the young people of the best society
married folks to be excluded except
as spectators. The participants are to
be in masque and costume and remain
so until midnight. Each Young lady,
upon arrival deposits in box a
sealed proposal of marriage, signing
1t with the name of the character she
represents. The young gentlemen
draw these from the box, and each one
must find out the fair lady represen.
ting the character signed to the pro-
posal, conduct her before burly CEN
tennial magistrate, who will perform
a quaint, old-time, quasi ceremony,
From that time until midnight the
couple are to be companions and en-.
JOY themselves as one. But at mid
night a pompous Chicago Judge, With
sheriff and two attorneys, enter and
open divorce court. The parties
are severally called up in couples, tell
horrible things of each other, are sol.
emnly divorced, and unmasked by the
sheriff. This will be the richest part
of the fun. When all the couples are
divorced, supper is announced, and
after that the party continues IN the
usual way.

MYSTERY OF THE SEA,

Three times within the last half year
the wires of the direct cable have par
ted near Tor bay, the last surface
resting place on this side. The 6rst
break occurred three hundred miles
east of Tor bay, near where the cable
crosses that of the French Cable Com
pany. When the steamer Faraday
found the break her officers became
convinced that violence had caused
the disaster. The cable near the
break bore fresh indentations and
worn spots that could have been made
only by an anchor or by grapnel Of
some kind. In the hope that it might
turn out that the damage had been
done by carelessness rather than by
design the company's officers said
nothing at the time. Then in Octo-
Der break occurred about two hun
dred miles west of Tor bay, and the
Faraday found in that case also marks
ofsviolence near the break. Thereat
the company offered $1,000 for infor-
nation, and since then many seafar-
ing men have called at the offices of
the company with what they deemed
important information, but nothing
Trustworthy has been discovered.
The break Of few days ago is be-
lleved to have occurred near where
the cable first parted.

The Lesson Of Mr.. ConkIing's Failure,

With all his splendid abilities, his ade-
quate experience In public affairs, his high
personal character, and the strong sup
port OF the Empire State, Senator CoNK-
LING has not met at Cincinnati the expec-
tations Of his impartial friends. The larg-
est vote which he received was only ninety
six out of house Of seven hundred and
fifty-six delegates From the start he was
but the fourth in the list of candidates,
BLAINE, BRIsTow, aud MORTON all leading
him. What was the cause that brought
such failure aud modification upon the
honorable ambition OF the Senator to be
his party's candidate for Presidents
Briefly stated, that cause was. Grantism.
Though himself a man OF spotless integ-
rity, Mr.. CoNKLING has been made the adj
vocate of this corrupt Administration, the
defender of its worst measures and its
worst men. Iu the first year or two of
GRANTS career rs President he stood aloof,
and the respect and attachment which
men feel toward eminent talent aud char
acter, grew strong around him. Then Sen
ator FENroN enjoyed the balcful conf
dence OF the President, and distributed
the spoils of Office. But in an evil hour,
GRANT quarrelled with FENToN, and con-
ferred his fatal friendship upon Mr.. CoSK-
LING. From that day the Senator has in
creased in patronage and in responsibility
but not otherwise. And now at Cncin,
natl, the climax has come in the glorifica-
ton OF BLAINE, n noisy rebel against
GRANT, in the superiority Of MoRroS, the
Indiana demagogue, and in the hundred
and tweuty-six votes for BRIsTow, who
almost put GRANTS private secretary in
the penitentiary! 1t is an old lesson, but
it has rarely been taught more impress
sively. The nobler the nature OF the man,
the more emphatic his punishment.
Who, born for the universe narrows his mind.
And to party gives up what meant for mankind.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1876-06-18
Who was Beaten at Cincinnati

At first sight everybody appears TO have
been beaten ut Cincinnati, except the
small delegation from Ohio; but this is a
superficial view and does not penetrate the
true inwardness OF the case.
The man most conspicuously beaten in
that National Convention. indeed routed
with ignominy, is Boss GRANT His name
was not once mentioned with n cheer.
Nobody ever suggested that they should
vote for him as a candidate for third
term, and If that proposition had been
made it would have been hooted out Of the
Convention.
The great Republican opponent Of
GRANT, namely, Mr.. BLAINE, was likewise
beaten, and beaten signally. His struggles
were arduous; his pluck enormousj mis-
hopes sang uine; but, after . long and vio-
lent conflict, his banner went down and
his followers surrendered All his long
and costly preparations, all his intrigues,
all his acting, all his audacity, all his tricks
went for nothing.
JAY GOULD and Tom SCOTT were likewise
beaten. They were both for BLAINE They
wanted railroad jobber for President /;
and we congratulate the country and the
ANtpuDilNsth puiAS that hhO1 tOuid NV SuN-
Deed.
The plan of fighting over the civil war is
beaten. The bloody shirt waves no longer
as the sacred Republican standard 1t will
be Haunted, OF course, here aud there dur
ing the canvass, but its power is taken
away, aud nothing but some inconceiyable
folly at ST. Louis can restore il.
The only part OF the Republican party
which mas not been beaten at Cincinnati is
that small band of honest, sincere men
who desire reform and who had BEN
BRIsTow for their candidate. They have
not nominated their man, it is true,
but they have defeated all the candi-
dates whose names were identical with
corruption, and they have prevented the
nomination of every advocate ana repre-
sentative of Grintism. They have less 10
regret and less to explain than any Others
among the various factions and divisions
of the Convention. We tender to the BRIs-
row men our afiectionate and respectful
compliments.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1876-06-18

he had fairly got under way sYPHER de-
manded $1,000 for his share Of the $1,000
increase, threatening to have the contract
broken IL the money was not forthcoming.
The witness refused to pay, and the con-
tract was broken. The remaining IS, 900 OF
the overcharge was to have been divided
among men in the Custom House.
IL is to be hoped that the COMMITTEES will
make thorough work Of the inquiry which
they have undertaken, in order that the
people OF the United States may have un-
questionable proof OF the character of the
men who for years have ruled aud robbed
Louisiana. while at the same time they
plundered the national Government. We
trust that they will completely expose
the means employed to defeat the will
OF the people, as manifested at the
polls in the choice of their State officers
means which would have been Intellectual,
however, II GRANT had not arbitrarily vio-
lated the Constitution and laws by twice
using Federal troops to accomplish rev.
olution In the State Government. Not the
least offensive feature OF this military in
reference by GRANT is the fact that he
exercised IL Mt the solicitation Of his broth
er-in-law, who Is one of the chiefs Of the
Ring by whom the people of Louisiana
have been subjugated and robbed.
The machinery by which the election
frauds OF 1872 aud 1874 were accomplished
is still in existence, and there is every
reason to believe that II is the intention OF
those who are now in power to repeat
those outrages at the coming election.
The infamous Returning Board which
counted out Gov. MCENERY is read y to
perform a similar service again. There
fore 1t is Of importance that the
House Of Representatives, which has the
power to get at the facts aud make them
known to the country should do the work
so that the whole people shall see the ex-
tent Of the villainy perpetrated with the
sanction OF the present Administration. 1t
is the duty of Congress to see TO it that fair
elections and fair returns shall be had in
Louisiana next November; aud If the
people are permitted TO know the whole
truth about the abuses which have pre-
vailed there. q public feeling will be
aroused which even GRANT and his instru-
ments will not dare to disregard.
