war he cast his fortunes with the other
side. and before II closed he had risen
to the rank Of Major General in the
Confederate service. He is now a pri.
vate soldier. though he is called General
by all who know him. II will look
strange for an ex-Msjor General to be
ordered about by q Corporal. but such
is and will continue to be the fact. In
q couple OF years he may be promoted.
but the army ring is so powerful that
there Is no chance for him to rise very

A Romantic Story.

0wego Is excited over a romance in
criminal and conjugal life. the particu-
lars Of which are AZ follows: In 1863 u
man named Arthur 0'Connor kept u
hotel known as the Gate Hill House,
three miles north Of owego. He was
arrested in that year, tried and convicted
for passing counterfeit money. and was
sentenced for two years In the Auburn
State Prison. He was married and had
two children. He never returned home,
and his wife, believing him dead, was
married In 1869 to . shoemaker named
Hermann Berry. A day or two ago
0'Connor made his appearance in Owe.
90. Berry, his wifs's second husband.
was absent from home. 0'Connor OBJ
tanned an interview with his wife. She
accompanied him to Hornsllsville, where
N Of his children. q daughter. who had
grown up and married during his alb.
sence. lives. Berry. coming homo and
finding out the situation. went 10
.Hornellsville. He found his wife,
and asked her whether she would 90
back with him. or intended to 60
with 0'Connor. She decided to return
to 0wego with Berry. 0'Connor left
on the next train. taking with him his
son, a young man aged seventeen years.
He isgoing to South America. He says
that after being released from Auburn
prison. he went to st. Louis. There be
joined q gang OF bank robbers. They
robbed an Illinois bank OF $a40. 900.

LET HAYES ALONE.

Among the other duties which will
dsvolve upon the Republican State Con-
vention, which Is to meet in Eureka to-
morrow. will be the PRONUNCIATION OF a
platform OF principles upon which the
party shall make its fight this Fall.
There probably never was a time In the
history OF Rspublicanism in Nevada
when so much depended upon the FORM
alton Of a good. sound platform. as the
present. Many OF the old and time
honored issues OF Republicanism are
dead. having expired with the events
which gave them birth. We are enter
ing upon a new era. Old parties are
becoming d~isorganizOd, and new organi.
cations are springing into hic. We be-
lisve that the work OF the Republican
party is not yet done. We believe that
there Is n glorious future in prospect for
the grand old organization which saved
the Union. but in order to realize that
future we must be guided by statesmen,
instead OF demasoguss. and appeal to
the people for the support Of principle
rather than prejudice.
No doubt tho Convention tomorrow
will give us q declaration OF principles
upon which We can stand safely. and APP
peal to the people with confidence. We
have but m suggestion to make. Ger
tain Republican papers Of this State are
urging the introduction Of q plank en-
dorsing the administration OF President
Hayes. We sincerely trust that the
gentlemen composing the Convention
will act the part Of wisdom and let Hayes
alone. Very many Republicans in Ne
vada arc eager supporters OF the Presi-
dent and his policy. There are others,
and Just as good and sincere Rspubli.
cans. who are conscientiously opposed
to Hayes and his policy. We cannot
ask an anti Hayes man to support a
platform which endorses the President.
We cannot expect a Hayes man to stand
upon an anti.Hayes platform. We are
not called upon to either endorse OF re-
pudiate the President. Our main duty
is to unite the Republican vote Of this
State. and the only way to do that is to
ignore the Hayes question altogether.
Let the President alone. gentlemen. and
give Us a ringing Republican platform.
such as all Republicans can endorse.

TIE Fathers Of the Church and the
disciples Of the Sorbonne. persuaded OF
the universal influence OF the Christian
faith, believed the dark cross on the
back OF the ass TO date only from the
day on which our Saviour made his en-
try into Jerusalem. The ass Of the
desert was an animal Of great price.
Pliny mentions that the Senitor Arius
paid for one the sum OF 400. 600 sester.
ces. Naturalists have frequently re-
marked the extraordinary dimensions Of
an ass heart, which Is thought an indi.
cation OF courage /; and II Is ths custom
OF the psasantry OF some countries to
make their children wear a piece OF ass
skin about their person. The ass skin
Is peculiarly valuable, both for the
manufacture OF writins.tablets and
drums. which may DO the reason why q
dead ass is so rarely seen. 1t is too
valuable to DO left On the highway. In
many places the ass serves as a baroms-
