HON. A. c. DODGE.
Madison Gowa) Democrat


The democrats of the Iroquois
Club of Chicago, lately gave a BAN
quet in honor of the hero of the
Hermitage" on the anniversary of
his birthday. And among other
distinguished gentlemen, Gen. A. c.
Dodge was invited to be present on
that occasion. Below we give the
Generals reply. Our readers will
take great interest in reading this
strong and manly letter; it revives
historical "reminiscences, in which
the whole country claim an interest;
and it is especially pleasing to dem
ocrats, in that it recalls to memory
the grand administrations of Gener-
al Jackson, during which the gov
eminent was prosperous at home
and honored all over the world To
us it is great pleasure to publish
this letter. We feel that General
Dodge is the truest and grandest
representative of Andrew Jackson
now living. He is one of the gold
en- links that connect the present
with the great fundamental truths
and principles as taught by Thomas
jefferson, and afterwards SO jealous
ly practiced and heroieally defended
by Jackson. General Dodge has
seen great and varied service, yet he
is in the full vigor of manhood; as
a soldier, he was all that the term
General implies; as statesman, he
is all that purity, honor and wisdom
include.

His friends laughed at the ioke--they
thought it was a joke-and agreed that

differently. She had not yet learned,

finding consolation for an absent hus-

OF course she will in time, or take
with her to the grave the pain and
heart burning which no pen can picture,
which none but a neglected wife can
feel. In the meanwhile, however, she
must put a mask upon her face. 1t

the worst of bad form to be anything
but all smiles at such time, and so
she tries to smile.
Her grand coach approaches the great
mansion at which she will be one of the
most welcomed guests. The square in
front of it is almost filled with dashing
equipages of every sort. Thesun shines
brightly upon the brilliant liveries Of
the coachmen and footmen and upon
the immense bouquets ''favors"-
which many of them wear for the oc-
casion. Room is made for her carriage.

the silk-curtsined, rose-scented portals
to congratulate newly made wife-one

In the Early Mining DAYS.

In some "reminiscences of mining life,
written by Prentice Mulfo1d for the
San Francisco Chroaicle, occurs the fol-
lowing: After this borrowed rocker

come in any degree skilled in the use of
the rocker. 1 had no teacher and was
obliged to become acquainted with all
its peculiarities by myself. First set
it on dead level. As it had no "fell'
the sand would not run out. But the
hardest work of all was to dip and pour
water from the dipper on the gravel in
the sieve with one hand and rock the
cradle with the other. There was a
constant tendency on the part of the
hand and arm employed in pouring to
go through the motion of rocking. and
vice versa. The hand and arm
that rocked was more in

motion of pouring. / seemed cut up

Indians, First Sight of the Ocean.

The Zuni chiefs were driven to the
New York Mutual building on Milk
street, and from the summit of the
the ground, they caught their first
glimpse of the ocean. On emerging
from the tower upon the balcony which
surrounds it Mr.. Gushing pointed out
into the bay, and informed the chiefs
that the ocean was out there. Amid
many ordinations of delight, they re-
peated very many times: "Show hal''
which MIR. Gushing states is superla-
i've term, indicating the most pro-
found Veneration and surprise.
At first they seemed little dazed,
but as soon as they realized that they
were at length in the presence of the
much-longed-for "ocean of SUNRISE"
they all fell simultaneously to repeat
ing, in sing-song undertone, certain
prayers. These lasted several minutes,
and during their continuancethey threw
to the winds handfuls of "prayer -four
they had brought with them-a mixture
of fine sea shells and white corn flour.
Having completed their devotions, the
chiefs commenced to expatiate upon
what they saw around them, sparticular-
lY upon the tremendous extent of the
pueblo of Boston.
Pointing to the line f,the horizon of
the bay, the chief of the five said
"That is the black blue of the ocean,
and that is the foam thrown up when it
is angry. We have waited for many
generations to see this which our fathers
have told us of. We now see il, Pass
ing wonderful are the things we see
here. On one side the ocean, and on
the other a world of houses. The whole

Among the serious obstacles tha
encounter the plan Of securing illumina
ton on grand scale by means OF pow
erful electric lamps raised on lofty
towers, are the expense and difficulty Of
erecting such towers, and the awkward
ness Of the machinery required to lower
the lamps for trimming and returning
them to their lofty position. To do
away with the latter difficulty entirely
and TO materially lessen the former are
the objects of light tower invented by
William Golding, of New Orleans, Of
which the Scientific american furnishes
an illustrated description:
Mr.. Golding dispenses with stagings
and the usual machinery of tower build
ings, and raises his tower into the air
by additions made at the bottom. The
tower is cast-iron cylinder, built up
OF short sections, and kept vertical
while in process OF erection and after
ward by means of guys. The top sections
to which the lamps are to be perma-
nently attached, are put together first,
and by means of an ordinary derrick
are set vertically over hydraulic press
placed upon the intended foundation of
the tower. The hydraulic lift raises
the top section until q new section, say,
five feet long, can be set underneath.
While the lift is returning to ad-
NIT new section, the raised tower
is held in position by clamp and
kept vertical by means of the guys.
When the new section has been
securely bolted on the whole is lifted
another length; and thus by successive
lifts and additions at the bottom the
tower is raised until the required alti-
tude is attained. Each section of the
tower will be bored out before it is put
in place, and have diameter sufficient
to allow the easy passage of a circular
platform carrying the lamp trimmer,
who will be lifted to the top of the
tower by means of piston operated by
compressed air supplied by pumps or a
rotary blower, The inventor thinks
that the pressure need never exceed
half pound to the square inch. The
cost of 500 feet tower complete with
out the lamps) raised in the way de-
scribed is estimated at about $50, 900.
The project of erecting such tower
for the purpose of illuminating the
crescent-shaped water front of New
| Orleans is being agitated.
