The New York Republican Con-

Additional returns Of delegates Sc
lected yesterday to the Republican
State Convention, which meets in this
city on Wednesday, make it the same
as certain that there will be IN anti
Conkling majority of from fifty to
eighty in a total voice of 496. The
Conkling men this evening give up the
fight. Indeed. for two days there has
been a noticeable indifference on the
part Of Mr.. Conkling and his friends.
1t is said that President Arthur is
working hard to secure peace in the
party and prevent a quarrel and abolt
IN the convention. Such an event
would embsrrass him very much at
the outset of his administration, and
1t is said that Conkling, seeing him
self surely defeated, has consented to
let the half breeds have their own way
and run the convention. At all
events, it is plain that Conkling will
make no fight. He announces that he
will not attend the convention.
The plan to have Grant lead the
New York delegation has also been
abandoned. There are no stalwart
leaders among the delegates except
Plat: There is not a man among the
Conkling DELEGATES who has the abil-
ity to stand on the floor of the conven-
ton and make a fight. The conven-
ton, therefore, promises to be tame

wife with two children. She has for

BLOOMINGTON, Ills, October L.
The marriage Of Litta, the prima
donna, to Harry Cleveland, the we'll
known tenor, is announced to take
place on the 10Th Of October, the
wedding to DO a very quiet affair.
Both Litta and Cleveland have en-
gagged with the Slayton concert COM
pany for the coming season, but their
marriage will not interfere with their
travelling as leading members of this
we'll. known organization. At first
the relatives and friends Of the prima
donna were strongly opposed to the
marriage, but it is now understood
that this opposition has been over
come, and in q few days two hearts,
drawn together by true love and devo-
ton, will become as one. Cleveland,
while not the best tenor in the world,
may prove a model husband. He is
poor, without a dollar, and Litta her
self is several thousand dollars in debt
for musical education in Europe,
wardrobe, diamonds, etc. Her future
husband is young, handsome, and
above all the most energetic fellow in
the world. He is a young man OF
excellent habits, and, despite his pow
erty, has succeeded in winning the
love of the gifted songstress from the
most assiduous attentions of numer-
GUS and wealthy suitors. Since Litta's
advent in the operate world she has
not only had herself to support, but a
large family. who have made Bloom
intton their home for several years,
look up to the young singer for the
very bread oflife. She is to day, per-
haps, the poorest in purse of any Of
the noted singers now before the pub
lie. Operate managers have failed Ia
liquidate fully their obligations, and,
as Litta never had any special school
ing in the art Of money saving, she il
in consequence a very poor girl TO-
day.

While at Santa Cruz last week we
had the pleasure of seeing Miss Alice
Boston, the champion lady swimmer,

Last Wednesday was her eighteenth
birthday. She was raised in Santa
Cruz; goes into the surf summer and
winter. She is small in height and
weight. being light built, and has
every appearance Of a young school
girl, not representing that masculine
strength Of some girls. She wears
bathing suit Of light material, worn
loosely around her body. She plays
with the breakers like a sea gull. On
her last birthday she swan a mile into
the bay with Mr.. Joe Enright and
returned not fatigued in the least,
while her partner became much
wearied and caused her much alarm.
This was considered quite a feat for so
young a girl. Yesterday it was an
nounced that she was to take a much
longer swim and 60 alone. 1t drew
many anxious eyes to the beach, who
had heard but not seen. She was late
entering the water and the visitors
became anxious. AT a lew minutes
past eleven o'clock she came out and
darted through the breakers like {
fish. After playing a few minutes
near the shore she was seen to NOV,
forth into the sea. Many we're tn

watch her movements. Soon nOthinI
but a black speck could be seen. 4
vessel lay upon the water a mile and
half from the shore, aud she seemel
heading in that direction, Womel
became nervous for fear she woul
cr2mp and go down. No one expectel
her to 60 out as far as the vessel an,
return. But ere long the little blacl
spot came up to the side ofthat yes
sci. She. swan out around it, an,
then started for shore. When sh
came about one-third in, a seal wa

watchers became anxious lest ii shoul,
Brighten her and cause her to drown
But, no; she moved on near it an,
never seemed to care. 1t was gettinI
late, but no one would leave the beaeI
until they saw her safely landed. She
finished the three miles, darted a tint
or two through the breakers, an,
trotted of to the dressing room a
though she had been out but a few

MONTEREY, October IL opened

and contained a great many large
stones. Apparently they had been
carried a great way up a steep hill.
At the bottom | found the remains of
a strange being, just four feet high.
His bones were very sound; his fore.
head was not an inch high, but was
very broad. He was put away very
carefully between fiat rocks and
covered with charcoal. On the mound
there was a very large rotten stump,
which looks like it might have been a
white oak tree three and a half feet in
diameter. In tho grave l found a
spear, seven inches long, OF red flint,
also very curious fints OF sm aller size,
and at his feet a singular speckled
flint with a fine edge to it. The bones
are not red like an Indians but Of a
dark, ashy color. The teeth are per-
feet and seem to have been used a long
time, which proves hat he was old
although only four feet high. There
are other mounds similar to this one
here, and very different from the com,
mon Indian graves, which are full O
bones Of different color, being red, and
all thrown in earelessly.
