THE WEEKLY UNION.

The WEEKLY UNION issued this morning is one OF
the most valuable papers published on the conu-
nent 1t is not necessary now to refer to its varied
departments and to the skill and labor apphed 10
each, nor to the rare managerial ability displayed
in the conduct Of the paper-these speak for them
selves, and give evidence in every column OF read
ing matter prepared or selected As news
Journal we desire just now to present its claims,
and while it is complete in all departments OF news,
the chief claim is that it gives news oftener and
fresher than any other weekly. This Is so because
it is issued in semi-weekly parts which gives the
reader the current fact and opinion of the day long
before the old-time weekly is issued. Each semi
weekly part consists of eight ages, making total
of sixteen pages per week, and all sent for g per
wear, post paid.

HAMPTON ON THE KELLOGG CASE.


Wade Hampton has made speech con-
demning the attempt to unseat Kellogg,
and expressing his opinion that the whole
question was a res adjwiicata, and that
there was no excuse for reopening it. His
Democratic colleagues were quite taken
aback at this frank utterance, and it is
possible that it indicates conflict of opin-
ion on that side of the Senate which will
compel the abandonment of the attack on
Kellogg Senator Hampton, in common
with other Southern politicians, has fits of
frankness and candor which are dangerous
to his party friends, and from time to time
he manufactures some popularity in this
way, at least with his political opponents.
1t is to be regretted, however, that these
virtuous spasms do not last, and that when
the party whip is cracked seriously, Mr..
Hampton is generally among the first to
return to his allegiance. The Kellogg case
is one which we should think both parties
would be more willing to let alone than to
NEEDLE with. 1t involves "reminiscences
which are equally discreditable to both.
and bargains which, however convenient in
critical iunctures, cannot be defended So
berry, or made to accord with any orthodox
theory of public duty. The Kellogg and
Butler cases in fact hang together, as SEN
ator Blaine imprudently intimated the
other day, and though the Democrats want
Kellogg's seat very much, and though it
may be of great Importance to them here
after, it is doubtful whether they have not
more to lose from a ventilation of all the
facts concerned than to gain by turning

always at the command of the other Ca
diets. The subject is very difficult one,
but in common justice to the white cadets
it must be recognized that they are ex-
pected to show freedom from race preju-
dice which their fathers and mothers have
never exhibited, and which they are prob
ably incapable of exhibiting. The West
Point boys are probably no worse than
other boys in this respect, and they are
certainly no worse than the society which
produced them. There is race and color
prejudice, and it is active throughout the
North. This truth ought to be taken into
consideration by those who are inclined to
stigmatize the West Point cadets as Pc
culiarly bigoted colorphobists.

The spread of taste for art among the
people is easily recognized and demon
strated. Everywhere through this CONT
nent, for example, there is to-day more
or less brisk and steady traffic in art
belongings which a quarter of a century
ago were absolutely unknown outside of a
few-a very few-rich people who had
travelled. And though the tendency to
introduce art into the household is no
doubt often overdone, and though silly and
ignorant people are sure to burlesque it
and make it absurd occasionally, it is none
the less great thing that this appreciation
of Beauty, whether of form or color or ar
rangement, should have become so general,
and should have revolutionized the domes-
tic surroundings of so large proportion of
the people. Nor can it be said that the
time which is spent by our young girls and
matrons, our youths and young society
people generally, in this way is, wasted.
There are few more harmonizing and ele-
waiting influences than those of Beauty,
and the race which learns to familiarize
itself with elegance of form and brill
fancy of color and grace of outline and
subtlety and harmony of combination, has
made long stride forward in civilization.
The completest life is that which obtains
the fullest satisfaction from Nature; which
extracts the most Joy and peace and
strength and consolation from the beauty
of external things; which is saturated
with the charms of creation, and is
one with its surroundings. And the
way to secure such a complete life
for the race is to open wide the doors
to artistic culture to welcome to our
homes whatever of grace and loneliness
we can surround ourselves with; to put
everywhere about us evidences of the
majesty, the sweetness, the Illuminating
power, the soothing influence, of our
mother Nature; and so to stimulate and
strengthen the imaginative and the OBJ
servant faculties, and to gather the best
that the world affords as we pass through
it. And though fashions change and die,
and the fancies of the moment, decorative
or otherwise, are sure to be presently
dropped, it is certain that the taste for
elegance in the household, when once i'm.

nearer the strength of the anti-third- term
movement increases, and the tendency is
plainly toward other candidates who have
not such a load to carry.
And this brings us to a consideration
which is sure to influence politicians
greatly. The demand for Grant with the
average politician is primarily due to a
belief that he would be a strong candidate.
The number of politicians who would be
willing to force his nomination in face of
the strong probability that he could not
command the full vote of the party, is very
small. A few men like Senators Cameron,
Conkling, Logan, Carpenter, etc., may be
prepared to risk the defeat of the party
rather than forego their programme, but
they cannot depend upon being followed
to defeat by the rank-and- file. The desire
of the Convention, it may safely be as
sumed, will be to nominate the strongest
available man, and if it should be con-
Guided that General Grant is not that man,
it may be predicted without fear that the
enthusiasm of the delegates who are at
present for him will cool down. The en-
phatic resistance now being made to his
nomination in various parts of the country,
the determined stand taken by the st. Louis
anti third term Convention the other day,
+la e,rox,-;ro IN Il ;ootio,,r of n ,,urposo u, md
third candidate in the field in the event
of his nomination, must have their legiti-
mate effect upon those who are engineering
the canvass. 1t is no longer a mere ques-
ton of obtaining enough votes in the Con-
vention. 1t is question of whether the
mass of the Republican party would in
dorse his nomination. The belief of many
shrewd observers is that they would not do
this and since any break in the Republi-
can party must entail "a Democratic victory,
it is naturally being asked whether it IS
worth while to encounter such danger
under the circumstances. The pretense
that the country calls for this particular
nomination can of course no longer be main
tanned. 1t is already apparent that Grant
is not the first choice of very large section
of the party, and that another large section
is resolved to bolt rather than support
him. Whether this is to work for Blaine
or another candidate, however, cannot yet
be determined Blaine's friends have
pushed his fight so mercilessly everywhere
that they have aroused strong antagonists,
and if he fails of nomination on the sec
ond ballot his strength may be broken, and
a combination be effected on Sherman or
dark horse" No doubt Blaine's prospects
at present are good, but even with Grant
out of the way he would have no certainty
of victory, and perhaps the most that can
now be said is that the probability of
Grants being the choice of the Conven-
ton is net only smaller than it has ever
been yet, but still diminishing,
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-05-15

brought to bear to secure the first vote of
large number of delegates for him, can be
exerted no further. The Grant fight de-
ponds altogether upon the onset, and if
that fails it is lost. The possibility of re-
tanning the ground already wrested from
him is moreover hardly to be considered,
for as the time for the Convention draws
nearer the strength of the anti-third- term
movement increases, and the tendency is
plainly toward other candidates who have
not such load to carry.

Leap-Year Difficulties.

He was a nice young man, with cane,
high hat and patent leather boots. He
strolled leisurely down Fourth avenue,
putting daintlly upon a cigarette, and oc-
casionally twirling the waxed ends of
his mustache. He was accosted by a
stout woman with Horid complexion.
"Top of the mornin' 10 ye, Mister
Charley" said she. -..-H
"Good morning, Mrs. McGuinness," )"
said the nice young man. ~
Me darlint boy, would ye-" and
she bestowed bewitching smile upon
him. He lodged out of her reach. The
recollection that it was leap-year rushed
upon him. He answered:
"Madame-really-I can't-I am very
sorry if l cause you pain-but my af-
fections have already been bestowed
upon another-and, madame-I can't
can't marry you. -"
She gazed at him in astonishment
and then said, Indignantly: "Whc

A New and Wonderful Invention.

A correspondent at Lancaster, Ohio,
SAYS: I, in company with party of gen.
tlemen, called at the residence of Mr.. J.
C. Hite, editor of the Saturday journal
yesterday, to examine "Humiston's ap-
paratus for generating heat and light
without wood, coal, coke, candles, lamps,
or coal gas" which he has recently in
troduced. The result of careful inves-
tigation surpassed the expectation of
the entire party. The thing looks as if
it were destined to make stir in the
practical as well as scientific world. In
an economical sense it is certainly
wonderful success, requiring only OF q
cent per hour for fuel, used in either
parlor or cook stove, and l cents per
1--WE hours for ten three-foot burners or
gas jets. aoa
The modus operandi was clearly demcn-
strated by Mr.. Hite, and the cooking
qualities of the apparatus satisfactorily
investigated. Generators, fitted to an
ordinary cooking stove, were made, and
| in three minutes by the watch large
ke:sle, filled with cold water, placed
or. the front of the stove, was boiling
yery vigorously, while skillet filled
! with water, on one of the back holes.
[ began to boil in one minute and thirty
seconds. A pan of biscuits were baked
to nicely in three minutes. and q
beefsteak broiled in two and half
minutes, and nicely, too, without the
least suspicion of smoke or burning, and
during the operation most brilliant
gas was generated. Mr.. Hite entered
into a full explanation of all its mechan-
ical and practical workings to the
almost comnlete satisfaction of the whole
party. We do not intend to attempt q
description of the apparatus here, as we
understand that it will be introduced
ere many days, but we freely say that
the invention looks like success. The
heat is warm and uniform, and can be
| graduated to suit the occupant of the
room. It is utterly free from smoke,
noxious odors, SCOT, ashes, coal dust
which all attend the common modes OF
heating, and are source of great an
noyance to all housewives. The same
gas from one generator is used for both
| lighting and heating.

The Indian Girls at Carlisle.

The Carlisle school is a national in
stitution, occupying the Unied States
Ba ticks at Carlisle, Pa, a military post
which dates from the revolution, and will
garrison 1000 men. The buildings have
be en- bat partially used by the soldiers
stationed there, and are now propiti-
ousiy utilized in work which thor
oughly pursued must relieve the army
of its only labors and perils. There are
new 154 Indian youths at Carlisle ball
racks, nearly ali fetched there in Octo-
Der from the West by Captain Pratt.
There could be accommodated 500 if
there were funds enough to bring them
there and take care of them; and there
are a score or so teachers, mostly yeung
women, who have something TO give up
in entering upon such task. There
are about forty girls at Carlisle, and
what is said of them in a little paper
printed at the school is SO interesting
that we quote little of it: " You
could hardly find as many girls in any
school or of any color that would get
along with each other so amicably. x
Only one is married, Sarah Mathew,
daughter OF Spotted Tail and wife of
Chas. Tackett, an interpreter. Their
neartS are very Gen0er ana easily WOIheu
upon, and few days ago when We
went to the rooom of a Kiowa girl who
had that day heard of the death of her
father, we found two Sioux girls sitting
with her, and showing by their faces
that they felt very sorry for her in her
great trouble OF cour=e the Indian
girls are broughtup to labor; once, when
we were talking to them through the in
terpreter, we a>ked them if they wanted
to learn to sew, sweep. clean, etc. in
"the white mans way" Nearly every
girl made ready reply, but one
brought out her answer with so much
force that we inquired particularly
what she said, and the answer was, "she
says she do want to learn AWFUL bad"
The delight the little girls take in learn
ing anything new, and their great de-
sire to excel the larger girl-, is rema,k k
able. Not many days ago several of the
little girls. without suggestion from
any one, took it upon themselves to mend
the stock ngs of the large girls, who were
at work in the dining room, and, con-
sidefing their age and experience, they
were we'll merded. And so it is with
everything they undertake, and the
half has not been told, and can't be-
