THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.
By FArHKR RYAN.

Some reckon their age by years,
Some measure their Life by art
But some tell their days by the flow Of their
tears,
And their life by the means Of their heart.
The dials Of earth may show
The length, not the depth, OF years, g..
Few or many they come-few or many they
But our time is best measured by tears.
All! not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass on our
And not by the burrows the finger Of care
On the forehead and face have made;
Not SO do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but the shade
OF our souls-and the fall Of our tears.
For the young are oftimes old,
Though their brows be bright and falr;
While their blood beats warm and their hearts
lie cold,
Der them the spring time but winter is there.
And the old are oftimes young,
And they sing in age as In youth they sung,
And they laugh, for their crown was light.
But bead by bead tell
The rosary of my years; -
From cross to a cross they lead-'tis well!
And they're blessed with blessing OF tears.
Better day of strife
Than a century Of sleep;
Give me instead of long stream of life,
The tempest and tears of the deep.
A thousand JOYS may foam
On the pillows OF all the years.
But never the foam brings the brave bark
home;
1t reaches the haven through tears.

Garcia.

The weight of evidence or rather of asser
ton, is, that Garcia, the famous gamble, is
indeed dead. He was Spaniard, and first
came into fame as great player at HON.

capital, some 5000 or 10000 francs A
steady run of fortune in his favor increased
his capital to half a million, and made him
the lion of the place, NJ. Blanc who died two
yeas ago) enjoyed 3 tilt of this titanic SORT
and was also keenly alive to the advantages
of gigantic advertisement; hence he gave
the gambler the privilege of playing five
times the limit, or maximum, so that on each
roll of the ball $12, 600 depended. After q
two months struggle Garcia left Homburg
in his own carriage, drawn by four horses,
with the whole town cheering him, and
something like 100000 francs in his pos
session. He went home to Spain, built a
oath never to gamble again. This oath he
in prlnoely fashion in Spain, but spending
the gaming season on the Rhine, watching
the players with serene pleasure. Unhap-
PLY, one day at Baden the Duke de Morny
met him and asked him to play for q few
stakes, that he might have an opportunity
of seeing something of the wonderful system
by which the great gambler had broken the
bank Garcia declined. and explained that
he had renowned play forever; to which
the duke replied, with something

mark, put down q note and lost it, and
another and lost that. The duke laughed 80
tauntingly at this that Garcia went to his
hotel, stuffed his pockets with notes and
gold, and returned to the play-room When
it closed at night he had lost nearly 500, 600.
In few days the whole $500, 900 had van-
ished. The Calzado affair followed, when
Garcia was imprisoned for card-sharplng.
This ruined him finally. Ere play was
stopped at Saxon-les Bsins he hung round

Monaco, where, however, he was refused &C.

town. Miss Jennie Men,, young lady of Is
years, and one of the leading bellies of Blue
Rapids society. is daughter of the old gen.

sought and Obtained an introduction to
Jennie. From the onset he commenced
paying his addresses, but younger and
handsomer man held the young lady's
heart In his possession. Parents thought
the elder gentleman the most suitable
and by some HOOK or crook he succeeded
IN gaining reluctant consent to a marriage,
which occurred about April 1. Everything
passed off smoothly for several weeks, but
the young bride, being q woman, had the
curiosity to investigate the gentlemsn's
trunk, and there found letters which assured
her that her liege lord had already wife liv-
Ing, and had heard from her since his
marriage to jennie. The Scotch blood got
up, and on the gentleman's return to his
peaceable home he ran into the arms of an
officer who unceremoniously conducted him
to the county Jail to await an examination
for bigamy. The former wife was telegraph

place and proceeded to Marysville to-day
and had a consultation with the professor,
who received them both together in the
blandest manner possible, extending hand
to each, and assuring them he was glad to
see them both.
The ladies are both al the principal hotel

Congressman Tilghman of South Carolina,
has been making public his views of the po
litical situation. He, in common with his
political brethren of Yazoo county, regards
the Independent movement in his state as
full of peril to the Democracy, and urges
that everybody should hold fast until some
more convenient season. He says: "A
Democratic president is the only agency by
which the South can get rid of infamous
carpet-bag and insulting, incompetent negro
officials. In fact, it is the only agency by
which any section of the Union can hope to
enjoy either tranquility, security or prosper
ity, and think our party should subordinate
everything to carrying the next presidential
election. If this be true, independentism
among Southern Democrats ought at least to
hide its head until after November, 1880, and
every question of state or local policy calcu-
lated to divide the Democracy, as well as
every exasperating contest among candi-
dates for place, should be deferred to a more
suspicious era"
To enforce his point Mr.. Tilghman pro.
ceeds to offer neat temptation to the indie
pendents; There are many thousand fat
federal offices which would doubtless be
awarded to Southern Democrats by Dem
ocratic president, and disappointed Office
seekers would, perhaps, stand better chance
to crafty their ambition for place by put
ting forth a supreme effort to elect Demo-
cratic president than by joining any indie
pendent movement. 1t should be no re-
proach to worthy man that he seeks an
Office"
But Mr.. Tilghman's methods are alto.
gether too mild and nconclusive for that
latitude. Some of his neighbors know a
trick worth two of his. Alexander Brice, a
prominent native citizen of Walhala, South
Carolina, was man of good character well
liked by his neighbors, and the owner of
considerable property, but he was Repub-
lican, and after being out of politics for two
or three years, had again become an active
Republican, and was making some effort to
reorganize the party in his county. This
was considered by his Democratic neighbors
outrageous conduct, and they demonstrated
with MIR. Brice, who for some time paid no
attention TO their circumstances, believing,
strangely enough, after his experience aud
opportunities for observation, that man
even in South Carolina had a right to be an
active Republican if he chose. He is prob
ably convinced now, though his pres Mt
opinions cannot be ascertained, that he was
IN error. He was found few days ago
lying dead near his house, with several
bullet holes in him. A coroner's jury gave
the verdict of Death at the hands OF per
sons unknown" No attempt has been made
to find the murderer, and his death is &C
cepted as, If not strictly natural, at least
reasonable and expected event. Theobviou'
explanation is that Mr.. Brice was "Ya
zooed." The reorganization of the Repub
lican party in his county has been indefn
itely postponed, and even the independents
are effectually quieted.

The New York Democracy.

The long standing feud in the camp of
the New York Democracy eliminated at
their state convention, held last week at
Syracuse, the outcome of which was that
Tammany seeded and proclaimed an ever
lasting divorce from Tilden and his follow.
ers. The convention held through two days.
The first day was devoted to speeches, coun.
selling moderation and harmony, the whole
tenor of which foretold a storm ahead.
Finally, the Tammany delegation, among
ernor Dorsheimer, David Dudley Field, and
several others of note, opened their vials of
wrath against Governor Robinson, and re-
newed their often proclaimed resolve never,
under any circumstances, to submit TO his
denomination. This was followed by an
attempt to carry their point by storm, when
the name of John c. Jacobs of Brooklyn
was sprung upon the convention, and, no
votes appearing against him on eliza Uoce
vote, he was declared nominated by the
unanimous voice of the convention. But
this device came to naught when Mr.. Jacobs
utterly refused to accept such nomination.
Finally, as the Tilden.Robinson coils tight
ened around the convention, and it became
apparent that the latter would inevitably be
nominated in the end, the Tammany dele
gates formally withdrew, with a parting
shot of intense bitterness. After the boilers
retired, the convention proceeded to re-
nominate Governor Robinson by vote OF
two hundred and forty.three out of total Of
three hundred and one, together with all the
other state administration save Lieutenant
Governor Dorsheimer, for whom Clarksor
N Potter was substituted. On leaving thu
convention the Tammany delegates repaired
to another hall and put John Kelley in nom
ination for governor, and pledged themselve
to do their utmost to secure his election. 4
committee was appointed to decide as TO tn
remainder of the ticket.
On the surface, this appears to make ba,
break in the ranks OF the New York Democ
racy, for the general judgment seems TO b
that Kelley can carry votes enough to defea
Robinson, and thus blast the hopes O

Our County Fair.

Messrs. Editors Long shall we remember the
time when, on winters day, now more than ten
years ago, a small number of farmers assembled
at the court house in Montpelier in answer to a
call for the purpose OF forming An agricultural So
ciety. We were strangers them we had never
met before. There were no farmers clubs them
no. board of agriculture Farming to say the least
was dull and stupid. To-day how changed The
abors of the farm are no longer an irksome task
to us and to our children 1t is too late in the day
to say that agricultural societies have done the
farmers no good. Their effects to be seen in
every town, in every neighborhood and upon every
farm. During the existence Of our society we
have held annual fairs, have always paid our pre-
miums in full, and moved our location three times
We have furnished the state four senators and
the county three judges, and more then three Of
our number have been invited TO address other
organizations at their annual fairs. Shall So
ciety that can furnish such a record be permitted
TO languish and die or be swallowed up by the
state society? We hailed the coming of the state
fair to Montpelier with feelings of delight, and re-
joice in its success When the question OF loca-
ting the county fair at Montpelier was under con-
sderaton 1t was argued by some that II the
county fair was located there the state fair would
in due time come there also That prophecy has
been fulfilled In view of that fact, the executive
committee OF the county society thought that the
county and local societies should suspend, that 1t
was the height of folly for one county to attempt
to support so many fairs and Il special directors
meeting was called for that purpose, but the
directors thought that the society was in no con-
diton to stop this year. The state fair is glori-
GUS success The Mad River Society have held
their fair, and with the finest of weather. pay only
about fifty per cent of their premiums. What is
to be the fate Of the others time will determine.
1t IL no part Of the duty Of an officer TO indulge
for one moment in gloomy forebodings, but to
cheer and encourage In the darkest hour We
therefore make an earnest appeal TO the farmers
of Washington county to rally and make the COM
ing fair success from principle II for nothing
else. To the people of Montpelier village we
would say, word TO the wise is sufficient Ii cost
a struggle, 1t cost noble sacrifice ON the part OF
the northern and eastern portion Of the county to
locate the fair at Montpelier 1t opened the way
for the state fair to come there also We expect
that you, by your contributions 10 the floral and
mechanics hall, and above all by your attendance,
will join hands with the farmers to make the COM
ing fair a success. wB.

TIMBER FROM STRAw.-The versatile in
genuity OF Western inventor, who doubt
less toresees the time in the far distant future
when the forest shall cease TO clothe the
hills and dales, and the demand for lumber
shall prove vastly in excess of the supply,
has succeeded in deyising a substitute for the
natural product of the virgin of the cult
waited soil. His plan is to use that fragile
vegetable, straw, and by peculiar process
TO compress 1t into substance as hard and
indestructible as oak lumber. 1t is claimed
that this process converts wheat straw into
timber which is susceptible of as fine pol.
ish and finish as mahogany and black wal
nut at cost not in excess of that OF the
best clear pine. The straw is first manulac.
tured by the ordinary paper mill process
into strawboard aud a sufficient number of
sheets Of this of the right size are taken 10
make the required timber. They are soaked
and softened in chemical solution, which
Is, OF course, the inventors secret. After
the fibre of the pasteboard is sufficiently sat
urated, the pile of sheets is pressed between
a series of rollers, which consolidates them
80 that when dry the whole is hard stick
1t is also claimed that the process renders
this wood substitute impervious to water
and the chemicals used are such as to make
it fre-proot. But this sanguine inventor has
only made samples thus far.

PLAIN TRUTH.-A correspondent OF the
New York Evening Post, referring to the
difficulty of obtaining capital for promising
investments in Virginia, says; at would
be idle and unfair to disguise tn unpleasant
truth that one chief reason why these treas
ures are not poured into the lap of the South
is her hateful attitude toward immigrants
from the North. Two instances have come
under my personal notice where persons of
responsibility and responsibility, who went
on to Virginia and the other to Georgia to
develop the mineral resources of those states,
have been literally driven off by the inhos-
pitality and venom of the natives. In those
cases no attempt was made to mingle in
politics, but so unpleasant were the social
and business relations of the newcomers
with the local communities that the Yam
KEGS threw up their respective enterprises
and turned their energies into pleasanter
channels. This intense spirit of provincial
ism must give place TO broader sympathies
before the South can expect to attract out
side capital. The people, said friend to
me, ARE very suave to Northern capital
seeking investment, but when the money is
once safely placed, you are ignored and in
suited, especially by the women | have
heard much of Virginia hospitality, but for
my part think it is the most inhospitable
state have ever seem"
