least, by the nomination Of Gen. Hancock,

oughly Union man, he does not embody OF
e1emplify the Democratic principles Of the
right OF secession. States rights or the ga
credness of the institution Of slavery. But
being the nominee Of the Democracy, the
Democrats will vote solidly for him, 60
matter what principle he represents or what
policy he agrees with.

Snow Shoeing in Norway.

OF all the bodily exercises know OF,
there is none, in my opinion that can
come up TO snow shoeing, as it is done
in Norway. r- Skating is nothing com.
pared to this sport. What can equal
the splendid sensation Of flying across
the deep snow at the rate of many miles
an hour, without hardly moving a mus %
clef And then, going down hill, staff
in hand, no exertion necessary, other q
than to keep the balance, while gliding
softly but swiftly onward. Unlike the
Canadian snow shoes, these Shi (pro-
nounced shee) of the Norwegians are
often fully twelve feet long, curving up
ward at tie PROV, and are not broader
than three to four inches Throughout
their whole length they are provided
with groove for the purpose of keep
ing them from slipping when going at
an angle down hill. Although by no
means slow when used across level
ground, it is yet down-hill that they are
most effective, for their great length and
their polished under.surface on the fro
zen snow causes speed more like fly.

A Lonely Grave.

That afternoon l found, something
had never seen before--a little grave
alone in wide pasture which had once
been field. The nearest house was at
least two miles away, but by hunting
for it I found very old cellar, where
the child's home must have been, not
very. far of, along the slope 1t must
have been q great many years ago that
the house had stood there; and the small
slate head stone was worn away by the
rain and wind, so there was nothing to
be read, il indeed there had been any
letters on it., 1t had looked many a
storm in the face, and many red sum
set. I suppose the woods near by had
grown and been cut and grown again
sinceit was put there There was an
o!d sweet-brier bush growing on the short
little grave, and in the grass under.
meath [ found ground.sparrow's nest.
4. was like q little neighborhood, and /
have felt ever since as if belonged to
it; and, I wondered then if one OF the
young ground sparrows Was not always
sent to take the nest when the old ones
were done with it, so they came back In
the spring year after year TO live there,
and there wore always the stone and the
sweetbrier bush and the birds to remem-l
ber the child. 1t was such lonely
place in that wide field under the great
sky, and vet it was so comfortable too;
but the sight Of the little grave at first
touched me strangely, and L tried to pic
ture to myself the procession that came
out from the house the day of the funer-
al, and thought Of the mother in tie
evening after all the people had gone
home, and how she missed the baby, and
kept seeing the new grave out here in.
the twilight as she went about her work.
I suppose the family moved away, and
SO all the rest were buried elsewhere.
nj often think Of this place, and link
it. in nay thoughts with something I saw
once in. the water when i was out at sea;
little, boat that some, child had lost.
that had drifted down the river and out
to sea; too long voyage, for it was a
sad littls wreck, with even it's white sail
Of handsbreadth half under water, and
its twine rigging trailing astern.a Itwas
a silly little boat, and no less, except to
its owner, to whop it had seemed as
brave and proud thing as any ship Of
the line to you and ME. 1t was ship
wreck of his small hopes, / suppose,
and / can see it now, the toy Of the
great winds and waves, as it doated on
Its way, while 7 sailed on mine out Of
sight of land. 1a3a' 'esa' aIp- l8d
~ The little grave is forgottenby every
body but me, l think; the mother must
have found the child again in heaven
very long time ago; but in the winter I
shall wonder if the snow has covered it
well, and next year 1 shall go to see the
sweetbrier bush when it is in bloom.
God knows what use that life was, the
grave is such a short one, and nobody
knows whose little child it was; but per
haps thousand people in the world to-
day are better because it brought little
love into the world that vas not there
before. From Gan Autumn Holiday

A Printers Travels.

Wednesday night Thomas III. Arcbar
man about % years Of age, was a
lodger at the Central police station and
the fact that he had made tour nearly
around the world during the past four
years made the penniless tourist an oh
ject of interest. ,.'-'
Archer was poorly dressed, although
his clothes were clean and whole throuSb
much patching His stock of under.
clothing consisted of blue flannel un.
dershirt which he wore and checked
woolen shirt which he carried in the
pocket OF a light overcoat The young
man is a Scotchmanp and printer by
trade, so he asserted-and speaks En-.
glish, German and French well enough
to make himself understood in ordinary
conversation. ..
In August, 1875, he left San Francis.
co, with about $50 in his pocket, as
steward on sailing ship bound for To
kio, but a dispute caused him to leave
the ship at the Sundwhich Islands,
where he went to work in the Office of
the Honolulu Gazette. A months stay
there suficed, and the tramp printer en-
gagged a. hostler to help take care of
stable of 30 horses that were being
shipped to Melbourne. His stav in
Australia lasted nearly year, during
which time he walked through the vari
GUS provinces and visited the ''bush,"
until in the Fall of 1877 he shipped on
a coasting vessel at Hobart Town, and
for several months was knocked about
the West Indies until shipwrecked he,
with several others, were picked up by a
merchantmen and was taken to the
Suez canal, whena a desire to remain on
terra frma caused him to stopIsailing,
and from Egypt he travelled as servant
to English travellers, and as a Vagabond,
through the Holy Land, and at last
brought up at Constantinople. In this
way Archer went up the Danube, and
during the Summer of 1878 was sailor
before the mast on the Baltic Sea. In
the Faliihe travelled overland and most
of the way on to Geneva and Rome,
whence he sailed to Genoa and made. his
way then to Madrid and at last arrived
in Paris in March, 1879. r
After working as printer in job Of
fees several weeks, Archer earned
enough money to pay his way to Lon
don, where ne worked in various capac-
tiles until in July he sailed from Liver.
pool to Havana, from which city he
sailed to Charleston, s. e., where he ar
rived about year ago. Since that
time Archer has tramped through most
of the Eastern States, and has got this
far on his way toward San Francisco
He claimed to have an engagement to
g. to Springfield, ILL.,, with drover,
and expected to leave the city last even
ing. titiattee@ @D-A '.
When asked if be had experienced
any real hard times, Archer said ~
suppose. you would call it hard to go "a
hours without food, but / may have done
that many times and it didn't hurt me,
and l have lived weeks at a time with.
out clean clothes except as would wash
my own shirt and wear my coat but
toned closely while it was drying" He
said further that such little oonS Senien-
cies as stockings, collars, cuffs and
handkerchiefs never entered histhoughts.
Archer had the appearance of being q
temperate man, and used good language
in conversation. o..,... f-.f -
