/ remember hearing prayer offered in a
Republican State Convention in Iowa several
years ago-in the presidential campaign of
that year. clergyman of the city of Des
Moines had been invited to open the proceed
ings, but he failed to meet the appointment,
and a Baptist clergyman, who was also a
member OF the convention. was called upon.
He recognized the importance OF the occasion
as we'll as the value of time, and his succinct,
but comprehensive prayer was:
"Thou King Of Hosts; God of the Freeman,
God of Liberty, God of Grace, descend upon
Govern this assembly with thy omnlpotent
will, fill our hearts with Thy rich grace, and
sanctify the proceedings of this day with Thy
sacred presence. Grant us wisdom to nomi-
nate good ticket; give us our usual 10000
majority, and double it if in Thy infinite wis
dom it shall seem fit and proper"

LOST LOVE.
rssn Francisco News Letter.

Is,an Francisco News Letter.
The heart OF the simplest woman
Is q mystery unrevealed,
And the love that seems transparent
Is most hopelessly concealed.
We care not for love while we have 1t,
We know not of love I'LL tits lost;
We scatter It's treasures brOadhanded,
Nor reckon the ultimate cost,
Lo! q hand comes forth from the shadows
A touch that knew Of old
That could crown the gloomiest fancieS
With Oh aureole OF gold;
And think how that hand 80 loving.
That craved but to lie in mine.
Oft met Oh impatient gesture,
Or found no responsive sign.
And from yonder painted canvas
catch the DID, wistful look,
80 timldly, nutely jealous
OF the love that gave my DOCK
And only too well remember
How chafed at the dumb reproach,
And swore that no though Of woman
Should on my studies encroach.
Was blind. or mad, or but heartless2
The face and the hand are gone.
The light of my life has vanished,
am utterly alone.
The brain that her glaDces kindled
Is biglIted and dead and chilled,
Ard the gorgeous dreams OF the future
Can neyerlnore be fulfilled.
/ loved as n man who Is selfish,
She loved In q wOman'S way,
And mans love compared with woInan's
Is as darkness unto day.
Asa spendthrlft scatters his birthright.
I wasted the dover she gave,
And too late find my ambition
Has followed her into the grave.

MODERN POLITICAL rHICS.

The Tuscarora Times Review appears
b be disguised with the "virtuous in
dignatio0" with which the denial of
she statement that j. G. Hsgerman. fur
nished the means to start the Reno
Record is emphasized by the support.
ers of thatgentleman for the Governor.
ship. 1t says that according to modern
political ethics it appears to- be perfect
iy legitimate for candidate for the
United States Senate or any other Office
to heel any number of gin mills in
his interest, but it is regarded as hei-
niously wicked and criminal act to as
sist newspaper for the furtherance of
bis political ends.
The Times Review while moralizing
on. this subject should not forget the re-
IAarks of the late lamented w. j..
Forbes. He was publishing the White
Pine News when the town of Hamilton
was in its glory. and though his ne Ugh.
bors were getting rich. he could scarce
ly realize enough from his business to
support his family decently. He in
quir5d the cause, and discovered that
out OF every twenty persons at White
Pine nineteen drank whisky, and only
one patronized his paper. This solved
the problem. Forbes went for the
nineteen. and made money by doing
so. Nov, there are a great many
White Piners Ia the State. and they in.
Thence public opinion more or less in
ev0y community. Politicians are
aware of this. and. like the late Cakes
Ames, put their money where it will do
them most good. The nineteen APP
prove the act, and though the twentieth
man may. moralize aud condemn il. the
majority is always against him.

From the New York Sur.

From the New York Sun.
When Beecher's relative, the swindler
Gilman. was caught. Beecher preached
a fearful sermon, in which he dwelt
upon the necessity. and salatariness OF
confession. In one of the pews sat a
heavily veIled. woman who cried with
the rest. So much effect did tho SER
mon produce upon her that she went
away with quickened conscience
which gave her no peace until she con.
fessed the sin of her own life-to wit,
adultery with Henry Ward Beecher.
ThsreupoD the preacher said the con.
fession was lie, and Plymouth Church
dropped the woman's uame from its
rolls.

PRESCRIPTION.

Il is stated. upon what seems to be
good authority, that General Conner,
Republican candidate for Governor, is
Roman Orthoiic. This circumstance
il used to- the best advantage among
Catholics, who are urged to support
him because of his religious belief.
There is, however, what is represented
~ being a powerful organization in the
Republican party pledged to oppose
members of the Catholic faith. who
aspire to any Office of profit or trust.
and by every means in its power pre-
vent their election. to Federal, State or
county Offices. 1t is said that to
neutralize the opposition of this organ
izatiou. General Connor or his friends
for him give assurances that though he
was educated in the Catholic faith, he
Lass not been commandment of the
church or sfn .ted with it in any way
for'years. This does not appear to
satisfy tho prosaiptive organization, as
the following extracts from the Carson
Tribune, which appears to speak
suthori;ively on the subject, shows:
1--WE do not believe that be. Conner,
can carry the Yote of" the Republican
party. for within the ranks of that
party Is an organizItion til 1t could not.
dare not support the General. aud it is
spowerftrl order. too
"He. Conner, cannot carry the entire
Republican vote if minated, for the
reason that in this county are a hun
dred aud fifty Republicans who could
not vote for aim, aud in Storey county
Athoasaud 10 the same predicams nt."
The Republican party openly pro.
claims that it makes no distinction. be-
eween citizens on account of race, color,
seiigione or nationality. yet here we
lave the candid admission of the
Nevada Tribune. Republican journal
published ut the State Capitol, that it
neoretly natures in it's bosom power
fnl organization that cannot and dare
hot vote for a. Catholic. General Con-
hor. we believe. admits that be has
been, Catholic, and is therefore CON-
petent to judge whether person of
that faith, otherwise qualified, should
be entrusted with office. If there is
nothing i'm its teachings or its preespts
that debars a member from fulfilling all
his obligations as citizen, he should
proclaim that fact and at the same
hme abandon party that prescribes
him because of his religious senti-
ments, and if he is the brave soldier he
ID represented to be, and worthy the
support of the people for Governor or
any other office, he will prove it by
doing so.

EASTERN DISPATCHES
Business OF. the Country-Clearing-
house Exchanges.

New YORK. Aug. %.
The Public to-day has She following
on Clearing. house details: The aggre-
gates given for nineteen cities in 1878
and 1877 show an increase of less than
| per cent. but this is due to the ex.
CESS Of exchanges at New York. and
that excess is fully explained by the
fact that sales of stocks in this city du-
ring the three weeks named, amount to
1878, 460 shares in 1873 against only
2,4l0, $40 shares in 1877. Exclusive of
speculative transactions. therefore, the
exchanges at New York have been
smaller than in 1877, though much
larger than in 1876. The aggregate for
eighteen cities outside of New York
shows decrease of about five and
four ~teuths per cent, which is much
less than the decline in prices. Com
pairing twelve cities which reported in
1876. we find in the aggregate a steady
increase, but one wholly due as to last
year to stock operations here. In
eleven cities outside of New York, the
aggregate shows constant decrease,
which amounts, however, to less than
five per cent. in either year. aud is.
therefore. less in two years than the
decline in prices last year alone. So
far the comparison is not unfavorable.
bat cities have Jared very differently.
New York, San Francisco, Baltimore
and Louisville have increased in the
amount of business each year. st.
Louis. after heavy loss during the
strike last year, now reports larger
transactions than in 1876. Chicago re-
ports larger transactions than those of
last year. but less than those of 1876,
while Milwaukee and New Orleans,
though falling behind the record of last
year, also gain 10 comparison with
1876. The only cities which record
continuous losses are Boston, Philadel-
phia and Pittsburg.
