The clild's eyes are enchanted; but
ne does not know it, and he believes
IN all he sees. He does not doubt the
simmer 81 the scenes that lie before
him. To him the future il no sandy
desert strewn with dead mems bones.
it's a widespread savannah, fruitful
az the tropics and delightful as Elysi-
an plains. He gazes down the vista
Ioi life, and every phantasm seems to
his ardent sight as real and pleas
ant thing. There is not pageant
looming IN tue distance, there is not
one Of the dissolving views which
hope creates, and fancy touches to be-
wlldering brightness, that the child
does not accept as real, and soon to
be proved 50. All the prismatic views
that appear flashing across his for
ward path he thinks are really light
Ting it, and that he shalt be touched
and beautifed by their radiance when
once he is there Bright and fair IS
the apparent prospect before him; no
wonder that the child is in haste to
get on. There is everything to lire
him-treedom, plenty, sweet gardens,
flowing fountains, noble forms, smil-
ing faces and beckoning hands. He
sees he waving Of palms and the gilt
ter OF jewels; he hears the voice OF
trumpet and harp, oh! all is before
him; on, on, on. And he rushes,
breathlcssly, to the end Of childhood,
through youth, and often into man
hood, before he becomes fully aware
that the shape, complexion, and mien
of his phantoms have all been rapidly
changing, aud that what he took for
true worth and beauty is in reality no
better than q rare show, or d mirage
Of the desert. At last, grown keen
eyed by hard lessons, he pierces
through the cheat, and sees the bare
and barren sands of life. For him
there is afterwards no more enchant-
lment.

Singular Wall Rock.

Mr. j A. Hereford showed lis some
beautiful specimens of wall rock ia
ken from the Sub Rosa mine, few
days ago. Il came from the lower
slopes, and on the smooth side, which
joins the ledge, is the curiosity. Trees
are there pictured, the trunks, limbs,
and leaves being as natural as could
have been painted by an artist. On
one piece about six inches squaie,
was beautiful forest. Such speci-
mems can G obtained from most all OF
our mines, bat we have never before
seen such perfect ones as those from
the Sub Rosa.

balls in Idaho, but have never attend

Soy themselves more than at this one.
About one hundred persons were in
attendance, all parts Of the Basin be-
ing represented Many were strait
gers To myself, and consequently
will not attempt TO mention names.
One thing in regard to the ladies
from Idaho City excited my curiosity,
viz: Their good looks. Now, Mr.. Editor,
be candid: Did you honely gents over
there think to offset your own lack by
selecting all the handsome ladies in
town to accompany you, or was 1t
purely accidental, or-have you no
homely girls to bring? Now, | admit
| am a little jealous On that score,
not wishing to admit that our own
fair valley should thus be left in the
shade. Superfuous dignity was laid
aside and all seemed intent on enjoy
ment, making it pleasant for partici-
pants and profitable to propretors.
Most excellent music was furnished
by Messrs. Ranft, Runyan and Dixon;
aud the calling by MI. German could
not be excelled. The dancers all &C

Pottcr's Committee.
NEW ORLEANS, January 1.-At to-
days session of the Potter Committee,
Mr.. Ray, counsel for Secretary Sher-
man, filed communication setting
forth that he had no intention of offer
ing further evidence on the subject of
intimidation in the elections of 1876.
Ex-Gov. Hahn was examined, and
corrobOrated the statement of ex-
Secretary of State Deslonde, to the effect
that blank commissions of appoint
ment for supervisors of registration
and clerks had been furnished to Geo.
l.. Smith for use in the Fourth Con-
gressional District. Hahn at that time
was State registrar of voters. The wit
ness testified that while Superintendent
Of the Mint he appointed Thos. jerks

ion jerks had was verbal one, and

commendadon. Chairman Potter then
announced that inasmuch as several
witnesses wanted by the committee
were in Washington, the committee
would adjourn to meet in that city
next Tuesday,. In the meantime, John
Ray, representing Mr.. Sherman, and
another gentleman to be selected by
the chairman, would remain in New
Orleans and take whatever testimony
might be offered In rebuttal Of the evil
dence already taken by the committee.
The committee then adjourned, the
members leaving for Washington this
afternoon.

This is what the Cincinnati CONNER
cial (Rep.) thinks of the Grant move
mcnt:
The people have abundant time to
consider the proposition that we have
but one man fit to be President, and
he our most distinguished military
chieftain, whose most commendable
quality in civil Office was that of ad-
herring to his friends, who were chosen
without special regard for the general
interests. If we must have Grant for
Il third term, we must have him for a
fourth. If he is a necessity to the
country in 1880, he will be indispen-
sable in 1884, and, indeed, we shall
need him during his life. The ten
dency on this policy is perfectly plain.
The American people cannot fail to
understand it completely and reject it
accordingly. We shall not be at spe-
cial trouble to stop the Grant move
ment; it will stop itself long before
the meeting of the next National
Republican Convention.

tain person unless they left he would
have them killed, giving as reason
that the person referred to knew too
much about the hanging Aforesaid.
Having heard that an old man, sixty
years Of age, who lived at or near Log
town, q place some distance in the
country, had been very severely beaten
by bulldozers, hired a horse and rode
out in the country to find the old man.
MY search, however, was fruitless, as
he had secreted himself in some out of
visits of the bulldozers. Just as left
to return was met by a body of seven
men, who, after passing me, turned
around Immediately and followed me
to the city. Before leaving I received
note telling me to be on my guard,
as the writer overheard a conversation
in which threats against my life were
made. Such are the completeness of
the organization at Monroe, as I am
informed, and have reason to believe,
that any one suspected of being a Re-
publican cannot send telegram or
letter without the contents thereof be-
ing known by others than those for
whom the message is intended. Nota-
bly, is this the case in the postof6ce,
where the clerk, one Morris Hayes,
exercises general inspection over the
contents of suspected private commu-
nications. In conclusion, beg leave
to state that the condition Of the coun-
try is such that I found it impossible to
get any information of importance, as
the law-abitling people are afraid to
give any testimony, as they would
have to leave their homes as soon as
found out, and those who commit the
greatest crimes are never brought to
trial, especially if the victims happen
to be opposed to the buildozers.
i remain, very respectfully,

advance the interest Of his d0wn-trod-
den people. The Doctor was given the
closest attention and frequently inter-
rupted by applause. At the conclusion
of his remarks he shock hands with
Gov. Warmoth as an evidence of his
desire to let the past be forgotten.
The call for our representative being
renewed, he resumed his remarks and
stated that no man should make greater
sacrifices for harmony and unity than
he, but admonished his hearers that all
efforts of his and theirs would fail to
accomplish the result, unless accompa-
MED by the fraternal feeling which
characterized the early days of the
party. Colored men did not expect
expect on all such occasions as these
seni.o6sciM in their characterize re-
ceive such considerations as the nature
of tho case justly entities them to, and
the recognition of this fact and its OBJ
servance in the future will enable us to
work harmoniously together.
Judge Dumont was then called for
and made an excellent speech, In which
he declared he would never stand in
the way of unity his highest ambition
was to serve his party, and if need be
to fall in it's defense like Gair and
others.
Speeches were made by Judge Gull

speech, defended the ms and sympa.
