General Bernard. of the French army,
built many of our fortresses, aud General
Moreau would have taken military en-
ployment in America if invited during
bis long residence here. Moreau was a
better man than Bopaparte and probably
as good general, for Bonaparte's envy
exiled him to the banks of the Delaware.
1t was fortunate, perhaps, for Lafayette's
memory that he was thrOwninto Olmutz
dungeons by the Bourbons. 1t is barely
possible that he might have been tempted
into command with the allies by good
treatment, and have lost, like Moreau,
the consideration of Frenchmen.

New YORK Graphic: People who
make ado over the frequency of modern
suits for breach Of promise may feel re-
conciled to these unpleasantnesses when
they learn that in the middle ages IL a
lady's lover deserted her and married
another, and she could produce evidence
of a pre-contract, however clandestiue
the espousals might have been, she stood
a good chance Of having the marriage
pronounced void, and the children-ii
there were any-declared illegitimate.
There are numerous cases of this sort in
the old English records. The ecclesiasti-
cal law regarded betrothal as virtually
marriage, and subsequent marriage of
one Of the parties with another person
was bigamy. II Is easy 10 see into what
confusion the old usagts would land us.
There has been marked progress in the
right direction, and IL only needs uni.
formity OF marriage and divorce laws
throughout the Union to make the ex-
isting statutes essentially satisfactory.

A CORRESPONDENT writes from Paris

A CORRESPONDENT writes from Paris
that we'll dressed gentleman of sixty,
evidently a man of wealth, drives out
every afternoon to the lake on the B0is
de Boulogne in fine Victoria, followed
by a carriage laden with cooking utensils.
Selecting cool spot under the trees he
stops his carriage, has rich damask
tablecloth spread upon the grass, and
servants in livery place a profusion of
silver upon it. The service is of the rich
est sort. The lackeys sit up under an
other tree and serve this sybarite most
sumptuous repast with iced champagne
and every thing to be found in the grand
est of dinners He sets there in his dress
coat and white cravat rs If in his salon,
unmindful of the hundreds of eyes that
gaze curiously upon him. When the
dinner is over he retires to another tree,
as If TO the smoking. room, where cigars
and coffee are brought him. Meanwhile
the servants pack up the silver. When
the cigar is finished, the eccentric diner
out gets into his Victoria, without look
ing at the crowd, takes his ride about the
lake, and then drives off home. Since
the fact became public talk, people are
going out to the Bois expressly TO see
this singular person dine in the open air.

Or the sunshine glows,
Still "paddle your own CANOE"
What II breakers rise up ahead,
With dark waves rushing through,

CHLoRoFoRM has been lately found to
act with great rapidity in extinguishing
the flame of the vapor of petroleum.
Combustible gases, mixed with chloro-
form vapOr, are found to Immediately
lose their explosive properties, and even
their combustibility. The successful
result of these Investigations has sug-
gested various practical applications of
the method, and among other uses, it is
thought that it might be advantageously
employed, upon large scale, for extin-
gushing fires in petroleum stores and on
board ships.

National Republican Convention.
FIRST DAY.


The attendance at the National Repub-
can Convention in Cincinnati has been up-
usually large. In addition to the delegates
and alternates, n large number of the
friends of different candidates attended to
work for their favorites. This was partic-
ularly true Of the friends of HAYES. Mon,
TON, BLAfNE and BRIsrow!, A number Of
bands accompanied the delegations from
different States, and Cincinnati has been
filled with music and alive with political
workers.
At noon, on Wednesday, the delegates to
the Sixth National Republican Convention
assembled at the Exposition Bnilding in
Cincinnati. The large hall will comiorta-
bly, seat 1000 persons. -t
Ata few minutes after twelve o'clock,
Ex-Governor MORGAN, Of New York,
Chairman Of the National Committee,
called the Convention to order, then prayer
was offered by Rev. DR.. MULLEN, of Cow
ington KY, after which the Chairman
made a few pertinent and eloquent re-
marks. At the conclusion Of which he nom
mated Hon. THEoDoRE NJ. PoMERoY, Of
New York, for temporary President OF the

mously endorsed, aud Gov. BALDWIN, Of

A STRONG TICKET
VICTORY CERTAIN {! -!

The National Convention at Cincinnati
did not commence balloting until the third
day OF the session, Friday, and On the sew
enth ballot, Governor HAYES received 3s4
votes--fve more than a majprity-and was
declared the nominee Elsewhere we give
the several ballots in full.
This result Of the deliberations Of that
body must be gratifying to every Republi-
can and all true patriots Many preferred
other men, but there was no man upon
whom SO many could unite-no man more
worthy-and no man who could give such
strong confidence in his ability to win
vict ory over the Confederate Democracy
next fall.
Governor HAYES is just the man for the
times. The people demand tho highest
type Of integrity, and his character as n
private citizen and public servant is with
ont bIemish. In his hands the people can
confde thor interests without fear Of be-
trayal. In him the greatly abused people
of the South will find wise and true
friend, one whose sympathies have always
been aroused in behalf of the poor and the
oppressed.
The nomination of Governor HAYES in
cures victory for tina Republicans next
fall. Every day of his candidacy he will
become stronger with the people. In civil
AMI military life, in Congress and as Gov
ernor OF Ohio for three terms, Governor
HAYES has 80 discharged his duties
as to win the respect and confidence
of Intelligent mon Of all parties. He il
an honest and pure man-eminently
COOL man-with strong intellectual power
and correct views upon all questions O

By this nomination, Ohio is once NOR
highly honored, and with one voice tn

friends throughout the Union that Coz
HAYES, as President, will honor the M
tion by enforcing honesty in every depar

FEBDISs cows on INpILN HRAL.
A dairy man 10 Western New York has been
feeding his COWS in the winter season on Indian
meal alrue--no hay or other feed whatever
and he claims that bis cows give more milk
than when fed on hay, &c; and are otherwise
benefited by the meal feeding. The evidence
of his claims were so strong that committee
was appointed by the W estsrn New York Dali
~ ymeu's Association to investigate the case and
report on it, l make the following extract from
the report: L" The cows are for size and genera,
appearance about an average lot Of native
cows; average live weight about 900 pounds
The herd were fed exclusively upon corn meal
for SEVENTH weeks; each animal, according
| to its digestive capacity, making an average o
| about three (3l quarts OF meal per day for
each COW. During this timo the following
points were apparent: The COWS did not m
inmate. They were very quiet did not sVincs q
any inordinate desire for food when hay was
shown them ! net so much as is displayed by
COWS that are fed on hay alone, in the uSual
way Of feeding, q little less than they will eat
They were much more quiet than cows fed
mostly on meal with a small feeding of hay, say
four or 6vs pounds per day. We could not dis.
cover any signs Of suffering or unrest in any
way whatever that by comparing their condi
tinn at the time OF going on to meal with theiI
condition at the time Of going back sRain Il
hay, we could not discover that they had ithel
lost OF gained in weight Of flesh that visiting
them again after thirteen days on hay, W,
could not discover anything about them lhA
E would denote but that they had been wintere(
in the usual way" The committee say tha
the calves dropped from these cows care o
D more than ordinary size, fsshy, strouR, Rciivt
