The Washington G. II. HERALD copies
our notice Of the Walton fire, and credits
the Torch with it. The HERALD ought
to know that the Torch don't do things
that way, but it is all right to let 1t have
credit for good thing once in WHILE
XeatG Sunlight.
We can account for the mistake in no
other way, than to the fact thatso many
fires occur nowadays from the incen-
diary's Torch, the aCOednt Of the fire
itself, was naturally credited to the
Torch. We can assure our esteemed
neighbOr, the Sunlight, that we had no
design to rob it of single ray Of brill
liancy.

Pennsylvania sure for Grant.

It is amusing to read the speculations
about the Pennsylvania delegation tc
Chicago, and especially the wild sto'
ries set afloat by the Blaine men. II
is all the purest and idlest nonsense.
The delegation belongs to Senator
Cameron; if was formally made over to
him. instructed for Grant and tied with
the unit rule. The power that carried
the Convention agains: the will of the
people will control the delegation to
the end. If the Ring was able to pros.
titute the State Administration to the
release of Kemble and his associates,
and to bend the Republican party to
the support and endorsement of the
Riot bill corruptions, why should it not
be able to hold the State to the nomi-
nation of Grant, and the assumption of
all the iniquities of the Grant Admins
tration? Mr.. Cameron says the whole
vote will be cast for Grant just as Ger
tainly as his-Cameron's-hair Is red.
Now it is perfectly evident that the
young Boss's hair is red, and it Is equal
ly clear that he knows precisely what he
is talking about. We hear a deal of
twaddle about the Philadelphia dele
gates greaslng their heels to kick.
They will do nothing of the kind.
They will appear to man at Chicago
shod with the moccasins Of the Winnie
bago, and ready to follow the hereditary
chief.
The local tickets are worth more to
them than the Presidency, and where
would they be if Cameron should avert
his face and cut off the supplies? The
State deposits might even be removed
from Kemble's bank-those deposits
the interest from which has so long
swelled their corruptions fund to COM
proportions. It may be taken
for granted that Philadelphia and all
lies snugly enough un-
der Mr.. Cameron's thumb.
Mr.. Blaine lost the battle once for all
by the treachery or the timidity of his
friends at Harrisburg, where, although
the Blaine men were In an honest ma
jority, Mr.. Cameron was allow ed to
take the delegation, the unit rule, and
for Grant. Courage and
discipline won the stakes and courage
and discipline will keep them.

Our Johnny's Composition.

Once there was man that had q
young COW. He was living in kind
OF q southering country, and the COW
use to 60 down to a pretty little lake,
or lagoon, or bayou, or slough, OF
something, for to get her little drinks.
Now there was alligators in that
lake or ct c9tero.#
Alligators lay eggs and, somehow,
matches them out. I don't see why
they don't break them; I know ]
would. You know, as uncle Ned says,
alligators is liable to be weighty. But,
at any rate, young alligators manages
to come into being.
Well. This young COW, she went
down to the lake, ct cetera, and she
drunk. She was thoughtful animal
and she swallowed something. O1
course, uncle Ned says, she went there
to swallow something-but then he's
often too smart for any use.
Howsomever, or however. that COW
began to grow longways. That is. she
measured (when she measured at ALL
more from the tip of her nose to the
end Of her tail, than she did from the
end of her tail to the tip of her nose.-
And she thought she was gittin' to be
a good deal of a COW for young one.
CHAP. 2LY.
Years went by. Several.
That. COW grew, longwsys. She use
to heller a good deal, but that didn't
seem to bother the man that owned
herfmuch. He just let her grow. At
ter while she got to have seventy
five ribs on one side and about a hum
dred on the other and they couldn't
pen her up in less than a ten acre
lot. (Uncle Ned says there's lot in
that.)
About thirty-five years after, that
young COW died at the hands of a
murderous butcher. He had bought
that poor young COW at weight on the
town scales, and by it, which is not al
ways the result to butchers.
He got live alligator out of that
young cow over forty-three feet long,
aud he sold it for seventy-fve thousand
dollars to Barnum.
I wish I lived down in that souther-
i1g country and had q COW.

AS day after day goes by, the hope OF
ever again seeing the three hundred
lads who sailed away from their Eng
lish homes in the Atalanta grows very
faint. There is barely possibility
that the training ship is afloat. She
was thought to be stanch vessel. In
1853, when she was the Juno and car
ried twenty-six guns, she was COM
missiOned as senior officers ship on
the Australian station. That she
should have been thought worthy of
this important duty shows that she
was then considered a servicable ship.
During that commission of four years,
she had plenty of hard work, and
many long and tempestuous voyages
in African, Indian, and Asiastic wa
ters. On the coast Of Arabia, she
beat to windward once three hundred
miles against strong southwest mon
soon; she met a terrific gale to the
southeast of New Zealand, and hard
weather on the South Pacific Ocean.
In all these she behaved remarkably
we'll, says Commander Key, who
sailed in her. But that was nearly
thirty years ago, and ships do not last
forever. She was then manned,
by full crew of competent1
seamen, able to handle any vessel in
any gale, II men could handle her.
But when the Atalanta quit England
for her cruise she had but eleven able
,eamen on board. The rest of the
crew were the lads, who certainly can
not be expected to handle q vessel in
} tempest, even though they were all
plucky.

Ell. Register
At last our long drouth seems fairly
broken and we are having some splen-
did showers. So far this county has
escaped storms that were damaging,
though some fearful looking clouds
have menaced us. The evening that
Marshfield suffered the prospect was
anything but cheerful here. During
that night buildings almost rocked,
and also once since then. Yesterday
afternoon a tornado seemed to be pass
ing 25 or 80 miles southeast of us; an
other very ugly looking storm moved
soon after up the Illinois river and
northwest of us; while just before sun
set roaring gale centered right over
US, but doing more good than harm.
This afternoon the storm has been al
most continuous since l o'clock P. NJ,
and every rivulet and furrow Is full.
We had some hail and q splendid dis
play of lightning, while the thunder
boomed incessantly.
Wheat has come out finely Of late;
still there are some thin fields even on
clay land, while, as 1 have told you
before, the crop on the black prairie
loam is mostly failure altogether.
Corn is nearly all planted; much Of it J
up, and generally good stands.
Small fruits are promising better
than usual, though the planting and
culture of these are sadly neglected,
especially by farmers.
We have large per cent. Of iron In
our clay soils, and shot ore Is almost as
common as in Iron county. though few
have noticed 1t, as 1t IL generally very
fine, still I have found 1t lately larger
than ever saw 1t in Missouri. This
indicates the adaptability Of our soil
for fruit raising; but most land owners
here look with contempt on such tri-
fies, though their boys will risk
charge Of shot or pistol ball stealing
such fruit out Of the vineyards or gar
