LIpPINCOTr's MAGAZINE.

The various departments in the August
number of Lippincott's Magazine are well
and ably sustained, and in point of merit
it is difficult to decide which contribution
is worthy to rank as first on the list of
contents. The eighth illustrated article
on "rhe Century its Fruits and its FEES
tival," embraces the concluding chapters
on the exhibits in the Main Building, and
is marked by the same ability As was
displayed in its predecessors. Mr..
Edward Kings illustrated ac-
count of Montenegro is especially inter-
esting and timely in connection with the
war which is now going on there. As a
sketch of the lite and habits of the people
OF the Black Mountain, this paper will be
read with pleasure and interest. Col.
Robert Lewis kimbcrly's "Raising the
Siege at Chattanooga, is spirited mar
ratiye of an important operation perform
ed by the army Of the Cumberland
during our late war. The second
chapter of Robert Wilson'S papers,
"On the Eastern Shore of Maryland" is
not less interesting than the first, which
has already attracted much attention.
Besides the continuation OF Lady Bark
er's enjoyable letters from South Africa.
there is an essay on the "Age OF knick-
Knacks." by Lady Blanche Murphy;
"Cross Purposes" pleasantly told
tale. by Margaret Nandegriit
and the first OF X. Davey's papers on
George Sand. which is pleasing tribute
to the character and memory OF the great
authoress. "Phantasmagoria," by EN-
ma Lazarus, and "By the Waters
Edge" by w. $. Phillips. are the poems
of the month and are OF marked merit.
The new serial tale, by Ellen w. Olney.
"Love in Idleness," commenced in this
number, gives promise of literary
treat. and we venture to predict that the
tale will rank high in modern fiction.
The usual editorial gossip and book re-
views complete this number of tn e popu.
lar Lippincott.

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET.

The nomination of Mr.. Lewis Steward,
OF Kendall county, for the office OF gov
ernor, by the Demo cratic State conven-
ton, will not give satisfaction to all the
Democrats Of Illinois. The favor with
which the st. Louis nominees were re-
ceiyed by the party, gave strength to the
straight-out sentiment OF the party, and
a large number of Democrats were anx-
ious for and confidently expected the
nomination OF a ticket in which there
would be neither Republlcanism nor
lndependentism. The convention saw
proper, in its wisdom, to not adopt this
policy and, as matter of course. the
straight-outers will grumble with amaz-
ing industry, and then-vote the ticket.
From the indications of public senti-
ment observable since the nomination of
Mr.. Steward, We are satisfied that some
other nomination would have been
more acceptable, for the time
being. 10 majority OF Demo

Hon. A. A. Glenn, the nominee for the

president of the senate. He has always
acted with thu Democratic party-has
never even for moment wandered
from the fold OF that political organiza-
ton. He ought to be satisfactory to

MIR. John Hise, the nominee for the
office of auditor, has been Democrat
of the strictest sect. He was nominated
for the same office by the Independents,
but is Tiden man and good enough
Democrat yet for all practicable purposes.
Hon. Geo. II. Gundlach, the nominee
for the office of treasurer, has been acting
with the Democratic party since the
Greeley campaign. He was Liberal
Republican, and revolutonized strong

ago. He is not an Independent, but a
stralgbt-out Democrat.
Mr.. Edward Lynch, the nominee for
the Office of attorney-general, is young
Democrat OF ability. He is an Irishman
and has been always true to his party.
Who will say, after he has informed
himself, that this is not a ticket entitled
to Democratic support: An ADLER ticket
might, we admit, have been nominated.
but an ADLER ticket-a ticket Of men with
records-would not have been as likely to
succeed as this one. This is ticket of the
people. 1t may not be received with en-
thusiasm by the gentlemen of bonds and
store clothes. but it will be popular with
the laboring men, artisans and farmers of

Especial Dispatch to the Globe.Democrat ]
LEAvENwoRTH, Ks, July PA ter
rible story comes from Sidney, Nebraska,
recruiting station on the Central Paci-
fic railroad, not far from Cheyenne. to
the effect that the attack made by the
Sioux upon Crooks camp, on Goose
Creek. proved to be more of a slaughter
than fight, nearly 300 soldiers of
Crooks command being killed, and the
entire command being driven across the
creek, mark for the unerring bullets of
their savage adversaries.
THE ADvICEs STATE
that on last Wednesday evening Mr.. A.
Il. Fray, the post sutler at Camp Sheri-
dan, arrived at Sidney with the informa-
ton that Lame Deer. friendly chief,
had come into Camp Sheridan thirty-six
hours from the battle field as a courier,
bringing the terrible news, and stating
that Crook had had more men killed than
Custer had with him in
THE FATAL FIGHT
upon the Little Big Horn. The loss of
the Indians was not stated, as it is hardly
probable that Lame Deer knew, the red
skins having driven the soldiers across
the creek, and being in possession of the
field, leaving them sufficient time to bury
Their dead. Lame Deer also says that the
Indians now have full sweep i'm the
northern country, and propose, after
driving the miners from the Black Hills,
to make
CLEAN SWEEP OF THE AGENCIES,
following which they propose to devote
their attention to the different stations
on the Pacific railroad. The Sioux
feel greatly elated over this their greatest
victory. Large numbers of braves who
had deserted the standard of Sitting Bull
have nov rejoined his forces. A feeling
of depression and gloom seems to have
taken possession OF Crooks command,
who regard their fate as certain, ana who
do not expect ever to
SEE THEIR FRIENDS
in the states again. This is the substance
OF the story as told by MIR. Fray at Sid
ncy, being what he heard from the lips
Of Lame Deer himself, but nothing of an
official character has been yet received
at Fort Leavenworth relating to it.

A Chapter of Early History.

Captain Jack Jewett, Robin Mos
by, and Ben Bradshaw were travel
ing from Virginia to Kentucky on
horseback. Captain Jewett was a
large, fine looking man, and fair
specimen of the kind of men that
gave character to the period that en-
braces the early history of Ken
tucky. AS the three rode along
their attention was attracted by an
gry words from cabin on the road
side. Words were succeeded by
blows, and Captain Jewett said:
"Let's ride up and see what this
fight is about
They galloped up to the cabin,
where there were a man and his bet
ter half having "set to- and she
was getting the better half of it.
"Hold my horse" said Jewett,
sand will teach the e. lesson
he will never forget"
At one blow of his fist the man lay
PROSTATE on the floor. The good
wife looked at her husband a moment
and then at Jewett, and then reach
ing back, she caught up large long
handled flying-pan, and let drive at
Jewett's head. The bottom went
out, and the rim went over his head
and around his neck, such was the
force of the blow. All efforts failing
to get the remnant of the frying pan
from around Jewett's neck, he had to
wear it about five miles on his road,
and then a file in the hands of 4
blacksmith released him. We will
not stop to point the moral.-l Dan

complete in this letter, and find
such an one in Queensland. The
relative and intrinsic importance of
this and the other divisions of Aus
tralia, are well shown in their display
here, and those who seek for them
not expecting to see much will go
away most agreeably disappointed.
A Thousand square feet of wall are
devoted to maps and charts of differ
ent parts of the country; the low
lands, the hilly districts and the more
mountainous ones, with immense
herds of cattle and sheep grazing
the bouncing streams, or upon the
vast uplands. The prices of the
different sections are marked at from
one to five dollars per are. Much of
the wilder and more romantic scenery
is also represented by innuncrable
photographs. The most prominent
exhibit upon the ground space of 4,
900 square feet is gilded pyramid
over twenty feet in height, and three
feet square ut the base, which repre-.
sents the bulk of gold which the
Queensland gold mines produced be
tween 1868 and 1875. The weight
represented by this pile is over 65
tons, and its value only the paltry
sum of $35, 100000.

riffs is also we'll displayed. Copper
and tin are also there in abundance,
in pyramids of mgots and in their

parts of the colony are also tastefully
arranged on all sides. BitHminous

particularly noticeable. Variegated

are for sale, but everything is put in

form to induce immigration, as the

are lonely sometimes although their
population has increased over 500
per cent. since 1860.

OUR DARLINGS.


In one short year we have silently stood
By the dark, cold grave, seen our dar
lings laid,
And down from the heights of ether
blue,
Soiemnly floats sweet refrain,
For the angel-bauds have welcomed
home,
Two earth-born spirits unstained and
pure,
Across the shadowy rivers foam,
In the beautiful city of rest secure.
How quickly round us, darkly DER us,
Was the pail of sorrow thrown,
And our heart-beats makes the chorus
OF melancholy moan.
How we mourn them, how we miss
them,
From our broken family band,
But our souls shall dwell there with
them
In that far off, silent land.
How often we speak of the ones so dear,
Now quietly placed along with the dead,
How the ruthless weight of toll and
care,
For them had broken life's golden
thread,
Solemnly, sweetly, a low, soft strain,
Floats from out the radiant west,
Aud we know that freed from sorrow
and care,
Our beloved darlings have found their
rest.
