MARK TWAIN ON GERMAN.-'I went often
to look at the collection of curiosities in Held
elberg Castle, and one day l surprised the
keeper of it with my German. Ispoke en-
tirey in that language. He was greatly inter-
ested, and after had talked awhile he said
my German was very rare, possibly unique,
and wanted to add it to his museum. If he
had known what it had cost me to acquire my
art he would also have known that it would
break any collector to buy it. Snrely there
is not another language that is so sipshod and
systemless, and so slippery and elusive to the
grasp. One is washed about in it, hither and
thither, in the most helpless way; and when at
last he thinks he has captured rule which
offers firm ground to take rest on, amid the
general rage and turmoil of the parts of speech,
he turns over the page and reads, Let the pu-
pill make careful note of the following encep
tions!"f He runs his eye down and finds that
there are more exceptions to the rule than in
stances of it. SO overheard he goes again to
hunt for another quicksand. German books

GRANTS TRIUMPH IN ILLINOIS.

The result of the meeting of the Spring
field Convention has resulted in solid dele
alton to Chicago for Grant. The Democratic
papers may talk of machine victory" but
the simple fact is that majority of the dele
gates were for Grant, and his triumph was a
fair one. This may be considered as deciding
the result at Chicago, and Grants chances Of
being the nominee Of the Republican party
fer the Presidential campaign may be consid-
cred as almost a foregone conclusion.

THE DECAY OF PUBLIC SPORTS.

Sporting matters have fallen into a woefnlly
decayed state of late. The majority of men
who follow the profession for livelihood are
as unprincipled as they are scheming aud
mercenary. All exhibitions of strength,
pluck, endurance and skill are simply lodges
to fleece the public of money. The recent
rowing match between Courtney and Hanlan
on the Potomac which drew thousands of
spectators, including the President Of the
United States and the members of his Cab
met, is fair sample of the sham contests OF
which the public are continually made the
dupes. 1t was 6zzle throughout. Courtney
has become quite wealthy during the past few
years losing races, and promises to he still
more successful. Prize fighting is another
dodge by which money is made by the sport
ing fraternity As a rule the $1,000 stakes
really represent purse put up by some steam
boat owner who is anxious to- take crowd OF
people at S. head to some spot where they
are not expected to see anything. For weeks
past the papers have been full of accounts Of
how Goss. Ryan, ,Donavan- and Roake were

SENATORIAL CANDIDATES AND FOLLOWERS -
The Reno Journal has the following on the
Senatorial question: at if generally believed
that Judge Lewis, Hon. F. A. Trisle, and
Hon VIM. Woodburn, Of Virginia; Hon w.
w. Bishop and Hon. Thos. Wren, Of Eureka,
and VIM. Sharon Of San Francisco, will be
candidates before the Republican party for
the high and exalted position of United States
Senator. Az yet Mr.. Tritle is the only one
who has positively Informed the people that
he is an asprant for the place. All the gen.
tlemen named, with the exception Of Sharon,
are actual residents of the State, and upon
this very fact are deserving of the Office in
preference to the gentleman from San Fran.

do not understand why they do not announce
themselves, and como to the front, help to or
Ganize the party, and show Mr.. Sharon that
the people of Nevada are not in need of An

says: 'The impression seems to have been
given out that nearly all the hold over State
Senators we're in favor Of Sharon's re- election.
1t has been claimed that at least twelve Of the
fourteen we're owned by Mr.. Sharon The
truth is that Sharon is not the first choice Of
more than two, if any. So far as we know
there is not hold-ov who has dared to pro

Gibson is inclined to favor Tom Wren; King

DESPERATION OF THE RE
PUBLICAN PARTY.

(Fron the Bradford, Pa, August
The Republican party goes into this
campaign with desperation in its looks
and desperation marked in its actions.
1t sees that thinking men wish to see
some other issue than THAT of section
alism and hatred, 1t has the saying Of
Grant that the South was now in a
state of rest and prosperity. 1t has
that OF Garfield who said that any one
who sought to stir up sectlonalism and
not put himself in the line of public
thought and feeling, would find him.
self without party and without a
support. 1t has ignored all the live is'
sues of the day, and bent all its ener-
gies to the one subject of President
making and perpetuating It's power,
and it has only the one call of appeal -
rebels! rebels!! rebels.!! No wonder it
is desperate; on the verge of political
bankruptcy, it clutehed at one hope
after another and finally fell back on
its old issues. With all its crooked
ness of management, it still cries in
timidation; with all its lack Of honesty,
it still appeals to honorable men; with
all it's promises of reform, it speaks of
the President and hisreforms contempt
uously, and puts in nomination for
Vice President the man whom Hayes
said was not fit to hold Office. Can
such a party continue its existence?
1t is now moribund. 1t will be swept
out, as with the besom of destl uction
Good men are leaving it like rats from
a sinking ship. Its strongest men are
in the sulks, and it's rank and file are
in condition Of apathy. Thus ends
the first lesson.

The death of General Myer, Chief Of the Sig
