A few days ago Gen Giant, Dan

who have no spcci; love for Garfield,
called upon him, by special invita-
ZION, and The party stayed in solemn
conversation lor long time. 1t is
rumorcd or surmiscd chat the olicct
of The visit was to discuss plan of
holding the government, if Hancock
should get the popular vote, scnti-
mcnt %ftich is now fast growing with
everybody. The plan proposc, is
said 70 be this: The Constitution
requires that the legislatures either
elect or pass upon the eligibility of
nll Presidential electors. All, or
nearly all the Northern legislatures
being now in Republican hands, il
will he very easy, if the people elect
Hancock, for the Republicans in this
Way to form the Electoral COLLEGE
and elect the Republican candidate
for President.
In the event Of this plan being
rcsO"tcd to, Garfield is to withdraw
and the Republican National Exccu-
tive Committee is to substitute
Grant, SO that they can have a man
of the nerve to carry out the r,vJlu-

Anywhere to Get Away.

MT. Greeley had been invited to de- liver a lecture at a village lew miles from Chicago. He appointed tAe tune for Saturday evening, but was dismayed at finding when there that there was no train to t Ike him back to Chicago before Monday.

 A sharp cross-auestioning elicted the information that an occasional pro- peller stopped at one of the piers during the winter months, but there was no certainty of such an event occurring. Sunday morning MT Greeley wa seen down at the shore looking as longingly as shipwrecked sailor for sail Nc boat appearing, his host prevailed or him to go to church with him. we had in our little church," says the writer, l" that day clergyman to whom even Mir.

Au Incident of the Rebellion.

A battery of the First artillery (Fede- raO halted one night during the Seven Days fight, in little clearing. The men lay down. unhitching their horses, but leaving them in harness. The first sergeant, now an honored officer of the Third artillery, told me he got up ana walked toward one side of the clearing. He was halted, and turned back by sentinel. Going toward the other s1de. he was again challenged.
 "Who comes tharP'
 The voice struck him. He replied. a Friend" :" and said: What regiment is thatP"
 The answer came, ''Seventh Ala
 What regiment is that on the other sidep"
 Fifth Georgia" replied the sentinel. "What battery is thatP"
 Here was a situation. The sergeant naturally didn't know the name of : battery in the Confederate army. Hes1 tation would have been fatal. By lucky inspiration he replied. ,'One O Stuart's batteries" knowing that Jol Stuart commanded their cavalry.
 "Oh." said the other, then your a hoss batteryp"
 He immediately awoke the captain who rather angrily said: That tn duce is the matter now ?"
 s' Excuse me, captain" said the SCI geant, .but we're camped between Georgia and an Alabama regiment"
 It is needless to say the captain go up. Horses were hitchei in quietly and the battery withdrew from betwee tha sleepinr regiments, who never kue' of tue prize that was within their grasI -Caljfornian.

THE STORY OF A YEAR,

 He was poor; she looked down the room: it was brilliant vista.

Indian Shoupers.

In her book on Manitoba, British America, Miss Fitzgibbon says: l watched some Indians shopping, and was astonished 10 see how invariably they waved aside inferior goods and chose such materials as merinoes at $1. 50 to $2 (7s. Sd. to l0s.) 8 yard. One of the merchants told me it waS useless to offer them anything but the best. An Indian, who could not speak English or French, and wanted five things, di-' vided his money according to his idea of their relative cost in little piles on the counter, and going through panto- mime descriptive of his wants, was handed first some silk handkerchiefs. Taking one up he felt it, held it up to the light, and, throwing it aside, shook his head vigorously, uttering an "Ughi' of digust. When shown 8 better one he was doubtful, but on a much superior article being produced he took 1t and willingly handed over one pile for 1t. | This, however. was too much, and when given tie change he put it on one oi the other piles, and proceeded in the same way to make the rest of his pur- chases. How easily they could be

 Indian had left. '' Mo- he replied, 'nol

He was m exceptionally able han, n profound thinker, chaste logi- ian and a brilliant speaker. He was Iollege-bred, had spent years in foreign Travel, was a lawyer and had been in aany responsible official positions. He lad been in the legislature of one of the Western States, and had been receiver If public moneys and surveyor general. While in Congress he lectured before aurch mud scientific societies here, and ho man in Congress was more generally Bespectcd.

Look Up, Not Down.

IT Lie to some is fnll O. zorrow-- Halt is real, halt they borrow: Full of rocks and tnll of lodges, Corners sharp and cutting edges. Though the joy bells may be ringing, Not a song you'll hear them singing; Seeing never makes them wise, Looking out from downcast eyes. All in vain the sun is shining, Waters sparkling, blossoms twining; They but see through these same sorrow Sad to-days and worse to-morrows; See the clouds that must pass overi See the weeds among thc clover Everything and anything But the gold the eunbesms bring Drinking from the litter fountain, To, your mole-hill seems a mountain Drops ot dew and drops of rain Swell into the mighty main. All in vail the blessings shower, And the mercies tail with power. Gathering chaff, ye tread the wheat, Rich and royal, meath your feet. Let it not be so, my neighbor; Look up, as you love and labor Not for one alone woes vials; Every one has cares and trials Joy aud pain are linked together, Like the fair and cloudy weather. May we have, oh, let us pray, Faith and patience for to-day.

The owner kept pace with the wagon, carrying under his arm a fine mirror about i've feet long.

The Ministers Daughter.
l the minister's morning sermon

In the minister's morning sermon He had told of the primal fall, And how thenceforth the wrath of God Rested on each and all. And how, of His will and pleasure, All souls, save a chosen few, Were doomed to the quenchless burning, And held in the way thereto Yet never by faiths unreas0n
 A saintlier soul was tried, And never the harsh old lesson & s@@& A tenderer heart belied. And, after the painful service On that pleasant Sabbath day, He walked with his little daughter Through the apple bloom Of May. Sweet in the fresh green meadows Sparrow and bIackbird sung; g., 7 .. Above him h cI tinted petals
 The bios soming orchards hung. Around on the wonderful glory The minister looked and smiled; "How good is the Lord who gives us These gifts from His hand, my child!
 # Es : --E "Behold in the bloom of apples And the violets in the sward A hint of the old, lost beauty
 Ot the garden of the Lord!" Then up spake the little maiden, Treading on snow and pink; ooh, father! these pretty blossoms Are very wicked, think. "Had there been no garden of Eden There never had been a tall And ii never a tree had blossomed God would have loved us all." Hush, child" the father answered, By His decree man fell; His ways are in clouds and darkness, But He doeth all things well. And whether by His ordaining
 To us cometh good or i'll, Joy or pain, or light or shadow,
 Wemust tear and love Him still.'' "Oh, fear Him!' said the daughter, ''And I try to love Him, too; But wish He was good and gentle, Kind and loving as you" @ The minister groaned in spirit
 As the tremHlous lips of pain And wide, wet eyes uplifted se. sE Questioned his own ill vain. Rowing his head he pondered
 The words of the little one; Had he erred in his lifelong teaching Had he wrong to his Master done? To what grim and dreadful idol
 Had he lent the holiest name? Did his own heart, loving and human, The God of his worship shame? And To! from the bloom and greenness, From the tender skies above, And the face of his little daughter He read lesson of love. No more as the cloudy terror Of Sinai's mount of law, But as Christ in the Syrian lilies
 The vision of God he saw. szre1ss aS,.E gs5z a5aag) And as when, in the cletts of Horeb, Of old was His presence known, TEe dread ineffable glory
 Was infinite goodness alone. Thereafter his hearers noted M In his prayers g tenderer strain, sgws And never the gospel of hatred
 Burned on his lips again. And the scof1ing tongue was prayertui, And the blinded eyes found sight, And hearts, as flint atoretime, Grew soft in his warmth and light. @' --John c. Whittier, in .dtIaatic Monthly.

Manufacture of Perfumery.

That branch of chemistry called per fumery is @ new industry on this coast, but with the ample facilities here for it's manufacture it will ecome in time of very great importance. The extensive flower farms in the neighborhood of Nice. Grasse, Montpelier and Cannes, in France; Adrianople, Broussa and Uslak, in Turkey, and Micham, in England, in measure indicate its importance ln the world. In the East varieties of herbs are grown that are used to a con siderable extent in pharmacy, but the planting of flowers by the acre for per fumery purposes IS unknown Tn this country The perfumery rnanutactured
 here is from the produce ot flowers im-
 ported from Europe, and comes here in the shape of fat or sort ot talloW. There is only one firm in this city en- gagged in its manufacture at present, ana | this establishment produces an average
 of 100 gross of bottles per week, though the production varies with the demand. | It is entirely for home consumption,
 though there was recently opened a
 small export trade with Mexico. | Powers are not used here in their
 natural state, as they are not to be had. l Neithsr. could they very well be inn
 ported in their natural condition, on account vf the expense attending, ana, | moreover, III bil6lE lEstHSpOiL Ltbo oI ss | large percentage of their fragrance | " Id be lost. There is no reason why the cultivation of flowers, flower-ta
 ing proper, could not be made an lm-
 portant industry here. There is no one
 engaged in it at present, and it might very well be introduced. Wherever the
 raw material is to be obtained profit
 ably, there manufactories spring up,
 and nowhere do flowers grow more lux
 uriantly than in this State. To convey an idea of the extent of the manufacture
 of perfumery 1t may be said that British
 India and Europe consume annually, a
 the very lowest estimate, l50, GOO gal
 Ions of perfumed spirits. The larg' perfumers of Grasse and Paris emplo. 3 annually in their manufactures oO,o0' : pounds of rose blossoms, 6O,OOO pound : cassia flowers, 50, coo pounds rose leaves B, GOO pounds jasmine, 30,000 pound vio.ets, %, 900 pounds tube roses. ao,O0 2 pounds lilacs. beside great quantities , rosemary, mince. lemon, citron, thym [ and many odorcus plants. The quan
 tity of odoriferous substances used | : this way is certainly very great, and be g yond the conception of most people. f ,SG7s FrGncisco Ba4lletaaa.
