THE SWEETENER.

Spring blossom, rose of June and autumn cluster
Appeal alike unto the bloom of health,
In whose spontaneous, overlooking luster
Is half the secret of the seasons wealth.
Tho pallid check may warm to applc-fushes,
The fcvered lip kiss fondIy sweets of June,
The languid palate leap to fruitagc luscious,
Yet weary of their day b fore the noon.
IT'S laughing Health, with unlindered fountain
OF joy upbubbling from her beings core.
Whose lavish life embraces vale or mountain
And drains delight at every opened door.
Mary B. Dodge in Lippincot for July.

THE PRUDE.

On pleasant April morning
Tripped shepherdess, and sang;
Young and fair and sorrow scorning,
Thro' the fields her sweet voice rang.
TEyrs heard and offered kisses,
Tender lambkins from his fold;
Roguishly she shook her tresses,
And her laugh rang clear and cold.
Garlands fair another offered,
And third his hearts best store;
But at gifts so gently proffered
Laughed she still and sang the more.

A Desperate Editor.

The genial shillaber gives, in the Post
some "reminiscences of the early ways Of
that journal, before the days Of steam
ships and telegraphs, including the grad
ual changes that occurred with the estab
lishment Of those great aids to publica-
ton. He tells this ,:c-y "f the editor,
Colonel Green, who shared w... IT, c:om-
positors the interest of steamship ar
rival: The files were brought over by
Harnden & Co.'S people, and left at the
Office in Court street for the several
papers. The colonel was almost in
variably at the printing-ofice as soon as
the men, and while they were filing
their cases he would volunteer to 20 after
the files. One night he had thus volun-
teered but his stay was so extended that
the men grew uneasy, partly on his &C.
count, and partly for fear that they should
be compelled to stay all night when, just
as they were about to send some one to
seek for him, they heard him coming up
stairs laughing immo oderately. And such
sight as he presented when he came in !!

His Choice.

He had an old umbrella over his head,
but there were so many holes in the COT
ton that he had better have used the
handle for cane. He walked up and
down in the rain, and stood under avn

doorways to get out Of the rain. At two
o'clock man who knew him came along
and found him seated on grindstone on
the walk, the old umbrella shedding one

Joseph kurrenders sUncomultiomally.

Since the first battle Of Miles with
Joscph's band, the troops have been holding
the hostiles in q narrow ravinc, and having
picked them of from rifle pits, losing only
four men themselves. Joseph raised the
white flag, advanced in front of the
lines, handed his gun to Miles and shook
hands with him. The remainder oi the COM
mand did the same. Forty wounded Indians
were found in camp. The number of dead is
unknown, as all were buried. The glory OF
the fight rests with Miles. The intrenchmcnts
OF the Nez Pcrces were ingcniously construc-
ted. Their bravery was unsurpassed through
out the fight, and they are credited with nu-
mcrous acts of humanity to wounded whites

HE CONFLICT IN THE OLD WORLD

The insurrection which broke out on
the 18th Of September in the central districta
Of Doghestan and gradually extended through
the whole Of fcentral and southern Doghestan,
does not appear to be quellcd, as 1t was
thought to be after the defeat of the main
body Of insurgents, numbering 6,O00 by the
Russians. An official dispatch from Karajal
tays band Of 600 insurgents were defeated
on the S0th Of September and Sd of October
with loss Of $50 killed, wounded and prison.
ers. Russian loss Insignificant. Other bands
ARE still being pursued. Russian estimates
place Mukhtar Pasha's losses on the I'd aud
Sd Of October at 6O00..
A Russian official dispatch of the 9th
from Karajal says: In consequence Of the
occupation of new positions by our troops in
the recent operations, the enemy last light
abandoned most Of his positions, including
Kizel Tepe, and began retreating.. We ~pur-
sued him and during the night occupied the
line Of Chadshirali, Sabatan and Kulwerdan.
Mukhtar Pasha's official despatch ex-
plains that the battle fought on the 9th near
Aladja Dagh was caused by an attempt by the
Russians to surprise corpse of observation
Of his forces at Aladja Dagh. Mukhtar claims
he repulsed the Russians with loss of 1900
men. The London Times says at st. Peters
burg the rate Of Exchange is q pence, tho
lowest rate since the Crimean war. There
seems to have been kind of panic there, due
to the great depreciation of paper currency,
which depression threatens temporarily to on
gulf the nation in bankruptcy
There can be no doubt that a number
OF Hungarians really crossed the frontier, but
so for nothing is known=of their movements.
They appear to be nearly all infantry, and
should they advance far they will undoubted-
ly be captured and If they resist be killed or
executed as brigands. Tho Roumanian pre-
feet of the Methrudzie district having gone to
Arsova to demonstrate with the authorities,
was informed that the greatest service Rou-
mania could do the Austrian government
would be to shoot the intruders. The raiders
are former Hungarian Republicans.
The London Times summary Of the
strength of the Russian army of the Danube
is that only 200, 600 men crossed the Danube,
OF which 10, OOO have been disposed of by bat
tie or disease. OF the imperial guard only
10000 will reach the frontier fit for service SO
that as reinforced the army will again amount
to two hundred thousand. This includes the
Roumanians, but not the Dabrudscha column
OF $4,000. Writer estimates, Osman Pashas
army as reinforced at 100000, and Sulieman
Pasha about the same; so that the combatants
have equal force. Turkish reports from
schipka represent military operation entirely
suspended by weather. A Russian official
dispatch says that on the 9th inst. there was q
naval engagement in the Sulina mouth of the
Danube, during which ! a Turkish steamer
crossed a line of torpedoes laid the previous
night An explosion followed, and the
steamer sank, Russian cutter hauling down
her flag. 1t is supposed that all on the
steamer perished.

Grave doubts; have been raised Is to
the guilt ofJoel Collins, who, was recently
killed as oneof the Union Pacific train rob.
bcrs. A prominent law firm at Topeka had
been retained by the father Of Collins, a high!
ly respectable citizen OF Dallas, Texas, and
sent to investigate the matter, and enough
has been learned to Justify the statement that
Collins could not have been present at the
time the train was robbed. He had gone to
the Black Hills with alarge lotof cattle, and
wrote his father he had sold them at twenty
tive cents pound andh received his pay in
gold, nearly 40 O0O, and from, the knowledge
o. his subsequent movements, he could not
have been at the Big Springs robbery He had
amasseda great deal Of property at San An:
tonic BY dealing in cattle aud thus was placed
above suspicion. His conduct when captur-

The citizens OF the metropolis have al
ways felt that neither commercial dis
turbances nor political disorder, neither
prosperity or the effects of good govern
ment can exist anywhere in the Union
without bringing with them immediate
evil or good.
Therefore, be 1t Reso,etz, That we rejoice in the
recent and unquestionab1e evidence thatevery
Is to-day accepted by majority the citizens
of the United States
Resolved, That we approve the firmness and
fidelity with which the President has kept his
public pledges and those of his party as to re-
form in our civil service. There is no preced-
ent in the political history Of our country of
self reformation by q party in power. We
ers our hearty sympathy and support.
Resolved, That the country has reason to
congratulate itself on the occurrence of SO
many physical and political events favorable
to restoration of more wholesome and abid-
ing prosperity than it has ever before enjoyed
The benidcent results of the tidal wave that ie
to lift us above our present distresses might
be defeated were not our national administrt
tion so unsectional, SO determined upon T.
form, and SO earnest in its desire to unite ul<
of all parties In common and patriotic en-.
deavor to build up a truer Union, a more
manly style of politics, m ore genuine Ame,

which they are named. They are in no sense
responsible for the errors of the convention
but are entitled upon their fitness and merits
TO the support Of every republican. We en-.
