Curious Forgotfulness.

Profound thinkers are sometimes so
absorbed in their thoughts as to forget
what is passing around them. The
story is familiar one of Sir Isaac
Newton, whose frugal dinner was eaten
by . hungry visitor, but who thought,
from seeing the empty dishes. that he
had dined. Socrates, the famous phil
osopher at Athens. had his moments of
utter oblivion of ordinary life. One
morning, when in camp at Potidacs, he
fell into trance. The soldiers gather
ed around him in large numbers. Won

not notice them. nor even the noon

The evening drew on without any
change in the posture of the philosopher
and q great crowd gathered around him.
spreading their pallets for the night to
watch him. Through the cold night he
stood, still lost in thought. aud only
when the sun rose again over Mount
Athos did he start from his strange Alb

The Smile and the Sigh.

A lonely Smile, which smiled in sadness
Once hailed upon the passing breeze
A new-borned Sigh. which sighed in
glsdness
To give q restless mortal ease.
The Smile and Sigh soon formed .
union
A union everlasting blest-
Whereby in brotherly communion,
Each worked to give the other rest.
Thus, mutually their tolls relieving,
They lived in peaceful light and
shade;
No petty jealousies conceiving.
Of naught, not even Death, afraid.
Add when with friendship still un-
broken,
Fate caused them for d time TO part,
Each Of the other kept token,
To prove the two were one at heart.
For. smiling. the Sigh to Heaven was
carried
On angels golden wings one day,
While, signing. the Smile on earth still
tarries
And lent its charm to lifeless clay.
Till then. this world was often dreary,
Bnt since then $50 the legend sayeth)
Deaths sigh gives Life unto the weary.
Life's smile itself illumines Death.

A Strange Scene--A "Reminiscences
ofthe Close of the War.

The First Federal Volunteer writes
in the philadelphia Times: Shreveport
was the last capital of the Confederate
Nation. There assembled the civil as
well as the military genius of what was
left of the Confederacy intact. There

pretended Governor of Missouri and

Price 'toddy sipping blusterer,' Kirby
Smith was accused of cottoning to the
enemy. both in the stable and the sur
render, and gave over the command Of
the troops to Simon Bolivar Bucknsr
Buckner and Price quietly went to
New Orleans to surrender the Depa rt-
ment for Smith, and General Heron,
appointed by Candy, to receive that
surrender, brought them both back to
his steamboat, and also Major General
Brent, now in Maryland. Herron's
steamer was in the advance-twenty
steamers in all--snd as the others were
deeply laden with provisions for the
starving reoels, he rode ahead over the
low water and approached Shreveport
on an afternoon OF May, 1860. The
scene on the levee was so tumultuous
that even the rebel commando: shrank,
unwilling to leave the steamer.
Herron's nearest steamer, which con-
tained troops. was nearly day behind
him In this uncertainty he ordered
the band to play. and drove up to the
wharf in the view of full 10000 armed
men looking in wonder at those stars
and stripes, and all jabbering in the
widest confusion.

Yes said Heron you have surren-

The man jumped upon bale of cot

THE 9TH BALLOT.

It having been asserted that Judge Kid
der, at one time during the OH ballot. in
the territorial convention. had a majority
and that his defeat was due to the neglect
Of the chair in announcing the vote, the
Press and Dakotian publishes a statement
showing that the highest vote for kidder
on the last ballot was 60, (instead of SO, as
we had prcsumedl and thatthe vote, when
Mr. Williams, of Burleigh County, moved
to declare the nomination of Judge Bennett
unanimous stood as follows: Bennett rs,
Kidder so, and Moody II. The statement
published by the Press ani Dakotian is
certainly correct. The result of the final
vote az stated by them we know agrees
with the tally kept by Porter Warner, edi-
tor of the Dcadwood Times, Alex John
ston, of the Pioneer-Press, and Major
Hamilton, an ardent supporter of Judge
Kidder, and we think, also, that the state
ment that all of those voting for Kidder
on the several ballots did not amount to
70 is correct. As we have it they mum.
bered SO. We do think. however, that
Kidder would have been nominated but
for the change of Pembina and Richland
counties from Kidder to Bennett.

Referring to the publication Of the Cen
tral City letter in the TRIBUNE last week
the Black Hills Times says, 1--WE are sur:
prised at the attitude of Col: Lounsberry
and cannot but think that he is piqued
and actuated by feeling Of personal dis
appointment at the action of the Republi.
can convention in ignoring his candida
cy.' Col. Lounsbcrry - entirely satisfied
with the nomination. Judge Bennett will
make an ADLER and better representative
than Col. Lounsbcrry would have made,
but the editor of the Times knows. even
better than we do, that he was bitterly op-
posed in the Black Hills by a very large
faction of the Republican party. and that
some of these people will support his op-
ponent rather than him, for personal rcas-
ons, and it is right that the people OF the
Territory should know it. Col. Louns-
berry stood as fair show for the nomina-
ton as Judge Bennett or Col. Moody, but
he refused to allow the use of his name so
long as there was any hope for the nomina-
ton of Judge Kidder, and there was hope
until the final stampede; therefore his
candidacy was not ignored by the conven-
ton or anybody else, and he has no oc-
casion for pique or disappointment.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The Democratic Territorial Convention
adonted the following resolutions:

Resotred, That the Withholding from settle.
mcnt Of large tracts OF land i'll our territory and
rcscrving the sume for the use OF roaming bands
of suvages is detrimental to the best interests oi
the people. not only Of Uakcta. but OF the whole
COUNTRY: that these bands Of indians khculd be
removed to the territory get apart for their use
confined to smaller tracts Of country. and the bal
Auce OF such reservations opened to settlers unde-
the pre-emplion AID homestead laws oi the Uni
ted States
ResoIred, That all military reservations in
Dakota should bc of the smallest practical di-
mensions. leaving the largest possible area of
lands for the benent Of the actual settlers from
Resofred, That We deprecate and condemn the
policy adopted by the national administration Of
hlling all the important Offices Of the territory
with non n-residcnts-men who have no interests
in common with the people. and no knowledge
OF their wants and necessities.
kesoired, That Dakota Territory. having been
organized for more than seventeen Year,, and
having ut the present time q population Of more
than one hundred thousand inhpoitants, has
within her limits men OF sulicieht Ebiity and in
tegrity to fill all her Offices, from the lowest 10
the highest. and that sound policy would dictate
that her officers be selected from her own people.
Resoired, That the legislature about TO be
elected should take as q basis Of appOrtlonment
in the council and house OF representatives The
vote actually Cast BY each county at the last cleo
ton preceding such appOrtiOnment and every
organized county in the territory should be rep.
resented in both branches Sf the territorial as-
sembly.
Resolred, That in presenting to the voters OF
Dakota us 0nr candidate for delegate in congress,
Bartlett Trip, Of Ynnkton county, a man whose ss
interests during residence Of ten years has been
thoroughly identified with those OF the whole
people. we are afording sufficient guarantee to
the electors Of territory that their interests
in congress will be faithfully and efficiently guar
ded. irI sDective Of section or locality. =,
Res0lred. That we cordially invite men OF all
parties who indOrsc the principles above enuncl-
uted to unite with us in securing the triumphant
success OF our nominee at the polls next No

We print this week communication OF per.

her right before friends and neighbOrs.
Herald.
We defy the editor Of The Herald; Mrs.
Slaughter, or any friend of hers: to point
to word or line that has ever appeared
in the TRIBUNE, except in the correspond
encc in her controversy with DR.. Bentley,
that in any manner reflects unkindly upon
her, while we have persistcntly ruled out
all correspondence in reply to her refiec-
tions on others which have appeared in
he.TR1BUNE and elsewhere, except in the
temperance controversy which or
igina:ed during the editors alb
sence last SUMMER The only un-
kindness we ever did the lady was to copy
without comment extracts from her biog-
raphy published by her old friend and
schoolmate in the Missionary. The arti.
Gle referred to relates to church construc.
ton and denies that her work for the Con.
eregational church embarrassed, or was
intended to embarrass the Presbyterian
church enterprise. \ difference of opin'
ion, however, exists on this subject.

THE PLATFORM.

The Republican Convention adopted the
following resolutions as they came from
the committee of which Gen: Beadle was
chairman:
that the better judgment Of mankind approves
the record OF the republican party in patriotism
and civil achic vement, and the humane snd lofty
principles which in times OF public trial created
and inspired it.
tion the United States must be 4 government
founded throughout upon principles Of law which
make citizenship honorable and secure to 1t all
its franchises and privileges and which secures
free suffrage, keeps untrammeled all political
rights and responds to loyal fcalty with every
means necessary to promote lts honest welfare.
Res0tred, That we rejoice in the great and
general prosperity throughout the borders Of
Dakota; aud see in the strength Of the free nsti-
tutions here planted the natural product Of repub-
lican doctrines: aud thatwe urge upon the United
development Of our varied resources, the protcc-
ton and encouragement Of our enterprises and
the promotion Of our welfare as is commensurate
with the rapidity OF our growth and the present
duty Of the sovereign owner.
Resolred, That we pledge the republican
party Of Dakota and its representatives in what
ever department to advance with all its zeal the
promotion Of these ends and the development Of
the Territory, to build up free local government,
enact wise and wholesome lave, enforce strict
sing Of education amp make pure and liberal the
safeguards of society and lay broad and deep the
foundations OF our growing commonwealth.
Rts0fred. We present 10 the people OF the ter
ritory, the name OF Hon. Granville g. Bennett for
delegate to congress aud under his leadership we
congrululate The people upon the certain assur-
ancc OF republican victory ID every county
throughout the territory.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

In the Democratic Territorial Conten-
ton which convened at Yankton on the
goth inst, Capt. D. W. Maratta refused to
allow the use of his name, and DR.. Myer,
of Deadwood, having withdrawn from the
contest Hon. Bartlett Trip, of Yankton,
was unanimously nominated. Mr.. Tripp
is an able man. and honest, and Democrat
though he is, if elected will make a good
representative. DR.. G. W. Mycr, of Dead
wood, was chosen chairman of the con-
vention, and D. n. Inman and ]. A. EN-
mons secretaries. .-
The convention was large; its action
was harmonious and restilted in great en-
thusiasm because the belief is entertained
that Tripp will draw largely from the Re
publican vote in Yankton and other coun-
ties in Southern Dakota, and that he will
take the opposition vote to Judge Bennett
to be found among Republicans in the
Black Hills.

no doubt, give the Democrats clean
sweep in the county this fall. Indeed the
parties are so confident that they offer
large wngers with odds that Bennett won't
receive 100 votes in Burleigh county. The
Vermillion Republican reports decided
break in that section, while Trip will
carry more than his party vote in Yank-
ton and Union counties.
