Mrs. John Straiton, of New York,
who recently paid a visit to the Holy
Land, wrote to her friends in this coun-
try series of interesting letters giving
an account of her travels. Some OF
these are now being published, and
from one of them we take the following
extract:
1t is sad to witness the decay OF Jeru-
salem. Palestine is land of ruins.
We saw the church of the Holy Sepul-
chre. It is one of the most attractive
scenes here. 1t has twin domes, count
less pillars, and is Il very massive build.
ing, and is said to contain and cover all
the scenes of the Cruciixion, Entomb-
ment, and Resurrection of the Redeemer.
The stone on which the body was
anointed and prepared for burial, and a
block on which the angel sat to an
nounce the llesurrectiOn. are shown.
Two hundred gold and silver lamps are
kept constantly burning, surrounded by
ornaments OF the richest kind. We as
cended to Mount Calvary-all inclosed
in this mosque-and / saw the rent in
the mount, and the holes where the
three crosses stood, and many interest
ing things, the whole surrounded with
rich trappings of the Greek church.
Part only belongs TO Catholics. The
shrine OF the Virgin, where she wit
messed the death OF her son, is inciosed
in glasses. and contains presents from
ali the kings and queens, such as rich
and massive chains, rings, bracelets.
earrings, diamond necklaces, etc., each
stone larger than any ever saw before.
The crown and halo, studded with
smaller ones, make your eyes ache, it is
all SO dazzling. Monks of all nations
assemble here. The Latin monks, the
Abyssian, Greek and Coptic, and al
though they worship in, they quarrel
outside the church. There is n large
square, filled with peddlers from all
nations. all talking together.
We visited also The Mosque of Omar.
II incloses the Mount Moriah, where
Abraham and Isaac sacrificed II is
near tbs site of the Temple of Solomon.
The rock or part is suspended over an
immense abyss, and it is here, through
n small hole, where. it is said, Moham-
med ascended TO Heaven. 1t is ITO
feet high, and is called, rs the name inn
plies, Dome of Rock. IL is q magnii-
cent and gorgeous place, all marble and
inlaid with gold, malachite, stained
glass. columns and pillars-all of the
finest workmanship. Although we
were therethre hours the eye could not
take 1t all IN. Every inch was a study.

Literary Mems Losses by ire.

The world of letters has been sylnpa-
thetically interested during the last few
DAYS in the loss which Professor Momm-
sen, the eminent historian, sustained
on the l2th ult. in the burning OF his
valuable library mt CharlOttcnburg,
Germany. The number of books in it
was about 10000 volumes, relating
mostly to the history OF Rome, besides
numerous invaluable manuscripts. At
the time Professor MOmmsen was en-
gagged ON a history of the Roman en-
perors. What rendered the disaster
peculiarly aillicting was the TACT that
there went with the rest rare parch-
ments and manuscripts loaned him
from the royal library ut Berlin and from
the vatican library. Az eyewitness,
who saw the professor just after the dis
covery of the fire, says that he never
saw a more touching sight. The old
man seemed almost beside himself with
grief. In his lrenzed though unavail-
ing efforts to rescue the borrowed manu-
scripts, lie received several severe
wounds, and the police were finally
Obliged TO force him away from the
scene. HIS loss, OF course, is irropara-
bic, but il is Il pleasure to know that he
will make the best Of circumstances and
resume work on his history rs soon rs
his health win permit.
1t is noteworthy that several similar
disasters have, from time to time, be-
fallen literary men. In the winter Of
ls29-30 the house of Professor Niabunr
Mommsen's predecessor in the protes-
syrship of history at Berlin, was burned
and with it his large and valuable
library. The second volume Of his his
tory OF Rome, then in manuscript, also
perished. This, however, Niebuhr, by
hard work, was able TO replace within II
year, and get it through the press.
From the shock occasoned by his loss
the historian never fully recovered.
In the height of his fame the great
mind of Sir Isaac Newton was for some
time affected to such degree rs 10 un-
fit Inn for scientific Investigation be-
cause OF similar mishap. Brewster,
| his biographer, says that while the
| philosopher was absent attending relig-
ious service one morning, his iavoriie
dog Diamond, overturned a lighted
taper, which set fire To several papers,
and they were reduced 10 ashes. On
these papers he had recorded the results
of several years labor in important opti.
cal studies. When Newton perceived
the magnitude of his loss he exclaimed :
"Oh, Diamond. Diamond, little do
you know the mischief you have done

TEhEGRARHIC ITEMS.

The Chicago Times says: The Indi-
ana Republicans appear much more
confidant than a few days ago, and
claim that they have the names of
1000 Democrats who will vote the Re-
publican ticket. The imported roughs
on both sides are known, and will not
be allowed to. get in their work. Mr.
Landers told Judge Trumbull, at Ply
mouth, Ind, last Saturday, in private,
that he was confident of his election.
The New York Herald says to-day :
There is urgent necessity that the Presi-
dent of the United States return from
his long pleasure trip on the distant
Pacific Coast to his. post of duty at the
seat of government. Matters that re-
quire his vigilant personal attention are
fastening to possible crisis. In at
least two States the political passions
are inhamed to such pitch that threats
of violence have been publicly uttered.
There is ground for anxiety, if not for
alarm.
General Slocum contradicts the state
ment made by General Grant and de-
clares that General Hancock selected
the Gettysburg battle field. General
Slocum is reported as saying that he
was on the scene and took an active
part in that memorable battle, and con-
sequently knows that to General Han
cock belongs the credit of selecting the
ground, and largely the success Of the
Gettysburg battle.
A Portland dispatch says Colone'
Wheaton, commanding at Colur Dalene,
telegraphs General Howard that the
Nez Perces are running off stock
Howard has instructed him to take the
necessary force to scout, through thu
country and stop the depredations.
In Ohio the poll of the State made
by the Republicans gives them %, O0'
majority. This may be reduced b,
several Thousand, to-day.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

A synopsis of the proceedings Of the
Democratic County Convention, which
assembled yesterday in Oriental Hall is
published in the. SILVER STATE to-day.
The Convention was harmonious
throughout, and with the exception of
debate on some resolutions offered by
+. Blennerhassett, not ripple appear
ed on the surface. While several good
men were defeated for the positions to
which they aspired, it must also be adj
mitted, that the nominees of the Con-
veption, as whole, are above the aver
age, and it is generally conceded that
the ticket is a strong one. The Legis,
lative nominees were selected from. diff
ferent parts of the county, and Charles
Mcconnell. one of the few members of
the Legislature, of 1879, who stood by
their pledges to the people, was nomin-
ated by acclamation. The contest for
9Heilh was spiAsSlA anu ,lesulteu III the
nomination of w. T. Burns, of Para
disc, by majority of one over j. N.
Thacker
To-day the Republicans hold their
Convention for the purpose of nomina-
ting Legislative and county officers, and
the people will then have opportunity
Of making their selections from the can
didates offered by both parties.

INDIANA AND OHIO.

State elections are being held to-day
in Indiana and Ohio, and the result is
anxiously awaited, not only by politici-
ans but by the public. Both States
have been thoroughly canvassed. Pub
lie speakers of national reputation have
? addressed the citizens ON the issues OF
the campaign, and both parties are con-
fdent of success. That more or less
money has been used on both sides,
there is no doubt, but it is probable
that there, as elsewhere, the Republi-
cans had the heaviest purses. If either
party carries both States the victory
must necessarily have damaging effect
on the vanquished in November.
Though botn States are close, and a
change of one voter in hundredfrom
the Democrats to the Republicans,
would insure the success of the latter,
in Indiana, similar or even less change
from the Republicans to the Democrats
in Ohio, would insure that State to
Hancock. But it is by no means proba-
BILE that Ohio, where there S only a
Secretary Of State, Judges AMI Legisla
i've and local officers to elet, will 60
Democratic, as that would virtually end
A1 hopes of Garfield's election Neither
is it likely that Indiana, where full
State ticket is to be ELECTED, will go
Republican, though the. 1reenback
ticket may draw heavily from the
Democrats and give the Republicans a
plurality. While Democrats defeat in,
Indianawould not insure Hancock SIDE
feat next month, it would certainly
have cooling effect on his. supporters,
and leave the result of the november
struggle more doubtful than e7er.
In 1868 Grant carried OhD by Al,
42S, majority, and in 1872 ~ "a, 26S
majority. In 1876, Hayes h,d plu-
ralty of 1916. over Tilden AID ma
iority over all of 2,747. In 1879 Foster
had plurality of lE,l29 over Ewing
and majority over all Of 3,g2.
Indiana gave Grant in 1872 mas
jority of %, 5l6, and in 1876 gave Til
den majority of 5,l39. In 1878 the
average Democratic plurality for Audi
tor, Treasurer and Attorney General
over the Republicans was about IA, 900,
bat the Greenbackers polled over 50,
900 votes in the State.
1t is therefore evident that the result
of to-days election depends to a great
extent upon the action of the Green
hackers. Two years ago the Green
hackers held the balance of power il
the State, and since then at least 5000
colored voters from North Carolina
have settled in the State. Now if any
body can, foretell the result to-day il
Ohio and Indiana, from the above fig
ures, they are better posted than Blaine
was on the eve of the Maine election
