mained there three days, He rode over
the field and made himself fully &C.

To several of Gen. McClellan's officers he

that his confidence in him WAS entl, e.

One important fact should always be

the rebel confederacy and the rebel ar.

were when Grant assumed command in
Virginia in May, 1874. In that interval

SEYMOUR AND ROBINSON.

|
The Two New York Governors Talk Freely on
POlItIcs-Their Ideas on Party Policies and
| Candidates.
Elk. Governors Seymour and Robinson
have expressed themselves quite freely
on the political situation. Both are op.
posed to Committees Of Conciiation in
New York State, believing that such at
tempts at harmonizing party differences
invariably make matters worse, and
both insist that the Democracy shall be
united through its regular organizations
Mr.. Seymour had this to say about
THE REPUBLICAN SITUATION:
"I have no idea who will be nominal
ed for President by the Republicans, but
they will, in my opinion, nominate some
new man, whose relationships are as yet
unknown. The history Of the Republi.
can party has generally shown that it's
strong men have failed to receive the
nomination for President. When Lin
coin was first nominated for Pr sident
he was comparatively unknown, and
was accepted for the reason that no one
knew what his views were. There was
a bitter opposition to his denomination,
for the reason that his party knew him
better. So with Grant. When he was
nominated for President the first time
no one knew what his politics or policy
was Now that both are known, there
is bitter contest over him, and in my
opinion he cannot succeed in securing
the nominati ton. Th cause of this state
of affairs lies in the fact that the Repub
lican party is made up of discordant ele.
ments, men who are wild theorists
They range in religion from Bishop
Simpson down to Robert G. Ingersoll,
and in business matters from the free
commercial ideas Of the business man of
New York to the rigid high tariff ideas
of Kelly, of Pennsylvania. In their po.
litCal views of government they range
from the opinion Of Mr.. Blaine. who
wants to make this what he calls a SOW.
ereign nation, where the minority of
people living in States with small popu
lations can govern the majority by the
power and patronage of the Senate,
while another class of Republicans, rep.
resented by journals like the New York
Evening Post, wish to keep our general
government within its due limits. To
satisfy such party, made up Of such dis
cordant elements, it is necessary to take
up men as they did in the case of Mr.,
Hayes, and others mentioned, who are

country can take offense. l do not think
that any of the candidates for the Presi-
Dental nomination now prominent will
be selected by the Republicans at Chi
ego, They are all too Republican for
the Republican party. know them all
personally, and l heve more kindly feel,
ings toward them than large sections OF
their own party have, and l feel more
respect for their characters than many
of their political party express with re-.
gard to their morals, their fitness and
their popularity"

THE DEMOCRATIC s1ruArroN.

Said Governor Seymour:-"No one can

ON TILDEN AND KELLY.

Rep.-Will Mr.. Tilden be candidate
for President in the Cincinnati Conven.
ton?
Governor R.--That l cannot answer.
Some time ago Mr.. Tilden informed me
that he did not desire the nomination
for President this year; yet, from what |
know of his views, should say that he
would accept the nomination if it we're
rendered him. l think, however, he
would be entirely satisfied if Democrat
could be nominated at Cincinnati who
would represent his princi pies and his
views, and would stand firm for the con.
demnation of the monstrous frauds
which cheated the American people out
of their rights and struck desperate
blow at their liberties. The condemna.
ton of those frauds must be the key note
of the coming canvass.
Governor Robinson Conversed freely

made up my mind that l ould not be a

Referring to Governor Seymour, Gov.
ernor Robinson declared that he had
believed him to be sincere in his deter
mination not to be candidate for the
Presidential nomination. He also ex.
pressed the belief that Governor Sey-
mour would not accept the nomination
if IL were rendered him. II know that

In regard to the condition of the DEM
ocratic party in New York, Governor
Seymour said: ,u
"While there are unfortunate differ
ences, they are drifting into the past and
are getting behind the party in its course.
On the other hand the quarrels are
breaking out among the Republicans all
along the pathways before them. Those
who have been prominent in shaping
the policy of the Democratic party are
getting old and infrm and are dying out,
and as am the oldest, expect to lead
of. The quarrels among the Democrats
are over old men and it is the height OF
folly to continue them. The old men
will pass away in two or three years at
the most, and then the young and vigor-
ous men who are left will find themselves
embittered toward each other on ac-
count of men who are not worth fighting
over. spent the early and best part OF
my life in espousing the cause of old
men, and many and many were the bit
ter uuarrels l had in their behalf. The
wounds received wrankle to this day,
and the animosities engendered, many OF
them, have never been forgotten or al
layed | fought bitter fights over Clay,
Cass, Van Buren and others, and before
l knew it they were all dead. 1t is fool
ish for young men to waste their time IN
quarreling over or espousing the cause OF
tue old men. The Republican combat
tants are active men, in the vigor of life,
and will continue to lead or misIead
their friends for many years to come"
EX-GOVERNOR LUCIUs ROBINSON.
Governor Robinson opposed strongly
any conferences to settle the political
differences in New York. and said:
"The only way to harmonize the diff
ferences of the party is tor the regular
organization of the party to proceed on
its way, performing its duty, and not
swerve from that duty hairs breadth.
The organization must show all who de.
sire to Join it to do 30. When the regu'
lar Democratic organization of the State
of New York abandons it's labors and
ceases to perform its functions the party
in this State is broken up and demoral.
lied and its usefulness is gone. The ef-
feet of all conventions or conferences
outside of those of the regular organiza"
ton of the party, for the purpose of har'
monizing the differences of the party,
would be simply to bring ruin to the
party and satisfaction to its opponents,
There is nothing exclusive, nothing per-
sonal, nothing selfish, in the regular or.
ganization of the Democratic party in
the State of New York. Its doors are
open for all men to act with it who are
disposed to act in good faith

The Caves Of Sacramento.

One of the most interesting features
of mine development in the Sacramento
district of which we have had but little
to say in the past is the series OF caves
that have been opened at two or three
points, and which have, it is thought,
an intimate connection with the rich
mineral deposits of the district. Just
what this connection may be is nice
study to follow up. In the Juno lode,
one of the Sacramento Company's
claims, the caves were struck at depth
of eighty feet, where the shaft widened
into a room of many cubic yards in
extent. The shape was irregular and
passages led off here and there, the
devious and labyrinthian windings Of
which no one has undertaken to
thoroughly explore. The walls and
floor OF the cave are formed of great
stalagmites that have in ages past been
built up by the line-lmpregnated water
dripping down, while the roof is hung
with pure white stalactites that glisten
beautifully when the candle is held up
to exapine them. At another point
higher up on the same hill, upon the
CLAIM of Hugh L. Rice, full as exten-
siye series OF caves exist. The first ex-
cavatiou in endeavoring to determine
their extent, was made by Mr.. Rice at
a point where the caves opened in the
face of the cliffs. By gradually remov-
ing the debris that formed the floor,
which was found tobe impregnated with
silver to the amount of fifteen or twenty
ounces per ton, he succeeded in explor-
ng a subterranean passage for sixty or
seventy feet. Recently his attention
was called to some woodchucks crawl
ing into a small cleft in the rocks near
by and he commenced excavating there.
He has thus opened other caves lower
down. The uranite which was taken
out of the upper caves formed an in
crustation on the roof. 1t is a COM
binaion of lime and uranium. At
several other points on the hill smaller
caves have been opened, and while
none of them have yet been found to be
in direct conjunction with bodies Of pay
mineral, yet the experience Of other
districts where similar phenomena have
been observed, as well as the indica-
lions here point to the probability Of
such a result.

Prehistoric Mexico,

Very interesting discoveries have
been made by NJ. Desire Charnay in
ancient cemeteries high up on the
slopes of the volcanoes Popocatapetl
and Itztaccihuatl. The burial place
on the latter mountain is high above
the line of vegetation. Just below it is
a small valley almost conceled on three
sides by a natural bulwark of stupen-
dous rocks. Access to this singular dell
seemed at first impossible; in fact was
so difficult as TO lead NJ. Charnay to
doubt the tradition of 4 Chichimecan
village having existed in such place.
Excavations have led to supposition
that this narrow valley had been a
temporary refuge of the Toltecs, per-
haps as early as the year 600. 1t bore
evidence too of having been inhabited
by the Chichimeca Indians. Idols and
households utensilf similar to those
found in ruined Chichimecan villages
were dug up from depth of from
three to four feet. Singularly toe, there
were found near the surface Alztec
relics, which proved that at compare
lively recent date this natural strong
hold had served as place of conceal
ment for third tribe. Tradition says
that after the Spanish conquest in 1920
a few spirited Aztecs and Tlatelolcos,
rather than submit to slavery or accept
the doctrines of the invaders, fed with
their sIares and penates" to this noun
tain fastness and subsisted on corn,
frijoles, ana otner vegetables, burying
their dead as near the "snow line" as
possible. Many Aztec idols, vases, and
lars were unearthed there.

A ,criter In the current number OF the
Edinburgh Review throws out Incl
dentally a very interesting puzzle for
naturalists and students Of evolution
in thus extract: The chief reason for
the parrots power of initiating the
sounds Of human speech is in reality a
structural one. In common with other
birds that utter vocal sounds IL mas
supplementary voice-box, larynx, at
the bottom of the windpipe, where this
air-tube branches for distributing TO
the right aud left lung. There are
true vocal cords at this place, and IL Is
by the vibration of these sounds are
primarily produced. But, In addition
to this vibratory organ, the parrot has
also thick fieshy tongue, and large
rounded beak OF such mobile capacity
that it actually servesas a third pre-
hensile organ. or hand. The sound
which is originated at the bottom of
the trachea, or winpipe, by the vibra-
tions of the stretched membranes, Is
moulded into syllabies and words as il
issues from the mouth by the rapid and
adroit movement of the tongue and
beak, and tonal quality is conferred by
the entire air cavity that extends from
the voice cords to the horny outlet of
the mouth. The strange feature In this
arrangement is that the bird which is
endowed with SO elabOratety perfect an
organ of vocal expression, and with so
large a capacity of turning this to ac-
count, should nevertheless, In its wild
state, utter only harsh and unmusical
sounds. 1t Is not easy to conceive the
use to which this exquisitely fashioned
and highly finished instrument can be
put In the forest wilderness in which
the bird lives when not brought with
in the sphere of human influence.

How TO PLANT.-When the grouLd
is marked out, 25 to 30 feet apart for
apples, and Is to 2G feet for pears, and
a stake driven at each spot where a
tree is to be placed, the work may be-
gin. The holes are all dug fiji ST and the
top soil is thrown on one side away
from the subsoil. The trees are loaded
on TO a wagon and the roots covered up
with a quantity of rich compost. As
each hole is reached tree is taken and
held up in the hole by one person,
while the other straightens out the
roots and works the top soil from the
edge of the hole among the roots. A
shovel full of the compost is then scat
tered over the roots, the top soil is all
thrown in and trampled down hard,
and then the hole is filled up. A tree
may be planted in this way in two min
utes, or 80 in an hour.
