Unelc Sammy TiIden.

In 1880 Uncle Sammy Tilden was the
victim of queer ballucination. lie
thought the Democratic National Con-
vention might be relied upon to tender
him the Presidential nomination without
his being put to the prelim;nary cost
and trouble of setting, it uD.n In 1876
he had taken the ne essary precaut ons
TO render the convention spontaneous
in his favor, on the ground of the
familiar apholism that 'spOataneity
should be prepared" lie had made
himself the ..ieform Governor" of New
York, had established n literary bureau,
and, finally, surrounded and filed the st.
Louis Cony ention with his henchmen
cole ted from the four quarters OF the
country on the school district plan. Ee
not only nominated himself. but drafted
his own platform, declaring that ''re-
form is necessarg," and managed his
own campaign, even down to the most
delicate minuti9 of devisinr a cipher
for the conduct of nice negotiations on
the subject of doubtful Electoral votes.
One would have concluded from this
action of the Sage of Grainercy Park
that he knew the Democratic party by
neart, so TO speak, and that he would
never, no never. allow that peculiar Or
ganization to DRIFT according TO its own
sweet will But Uncle Sammy had
charged up TO the party all that it had
cost him to run it and get defeated
with in 1S76-and it was a large sum
and he counted ON its gratitude to as
sure him the offer OF nomination in
1880. Vain deluSionl When the con
vention assembled at Cincinnati j; soon
appeared that the unterrifed proposed
TO remember the great ''defrauded in
their platform and there stop. Looking
for Uncle Sammy's barrel, and finding
none, they naturally cohciHded that. the
old gentleman did not want anything
of them. In word, they took him at
his word. They. nominated Hancock
by accident and noise, and when the
thing was done they stood aghast at the
thought OF campaign without money.

An eastward-b bound passenger train
had narrow escape from being
plunged into the Erie canal at Lockport,
N. Y, the other morning. One the
wheels of the truck of the tender broke,
and the truck left the track near the
bridge, and was thus dragged along
until the brakes were applied and the
train brought to stand-still. The
guard-rail of the bridge alone prevent
ed the entire train from leaving the
track and being plunged into the canal
below. The escape from serious ac-
cident was almost miraculous.

of possible and actual losses to the
business there are really none to speak
of. Two per cent. will cover all the
losses by death fora good year winter
midsummer, and, strange to say, the
losses are greater in summer than in
winter. In . very bad year, when
disease is prevalent, the losses never
exceed five per cent.
The stockman's year begins in May
with what,is called the g round up"
At the close of the season in
the early winter, the cattle
are turned loose without herds
men, and allowed to roam through the
whole of Western Nebraska and
Wyoming, finding food and shelter as
they can. When the spring opens a
small army of cowboysis employed
each stockman contributing to the
force in proportion to his interest-to
range the whole plains, gather up the
cattle, and drive, them to certain
stations or places previously agreed
upon at a meeting of the ,stockmen
held at Cheyenne. From these i'm
mense gatherings each owner selects
the cattle bearing his brand, and forms
them in to a herd to be driven to his
ranch; he also brands the yearlings of
his herd, who have up to-
this time run with their mothers.
After this grand division the
cattle are put in charge of cowboys
for the summer. The grass is fine and
they improve rapidly, and are ready
for the market in June or July. For
the largest ranch the expense up to
this time is not over 5000. The cow
boys get about $50. each for the "round
up" but no stockman is allowed
to furnish less than twelve, no
matter how small his herd may be.
Some are taxed as high as twenty cow
boys. The matter is all arranged at
meeting of the stockmen, held under
the auspices of the Stockmen's associ-
alton. When the cattle are all gathered
in and branded for the summer the
only help needed for the rest of the
year is sufficient number of cowboys
to watch the herd, which is generally
done by sleeping in the grass under
some friendly shade. Three cowboys
will take care of 5000 cattle, keep
them all together, and drive to the
railroad station such as are to be sent
to markets.. Louis GIobe-Democrot

When you bury animosity, never
mind putting up a tombstone.
Poverty may excuse a shabby coat,
but it is no excuse for shabby morals.
The exercise of the will has very
much to do in determining our physical
condition.
The covetous man is as much de-
prived of what he has as what he has
not, for he enjoys neither.
The essence of knowledgeis having it
to apply it-not having it merely to
confess your ignorance.
Be deaf to the quarrelsome, blind to
the scorner, and dumb to those who are
mischieyOusly inclined.
Let men laugh when you sacrifice de
sire to duty, if they will You have
time and eternity to rejoice in.
knowledge is not simply what we
read, but what we hold; but we are
judged by the use we make of it.
If you can't trust man entirely, let
him skip; this tryingto get an average
on honesty always has been failure.
To have atrue idea of man or of life
one must have stood himself on the
brink Of suicide or on the dOor-sill of in
sanity, at least once.
Be frank with the world. Frank
ness is the child of honesty and
courage. Say just what you mean to
do on every occasion. and take it for
granted that you intend to do what is
right.
See that the feelings. thoughts, ac>
tons of each hour are pure and true !;
then will your life beisuch. The wide
pasture is but separate spears of grass;
the sheeted bloom of the praries but
isolated flowers.
In determination take an account
of yourself, your by thoughts and reso-
lutions in the days Of religion and
solemnity, but examine how it is with
you in the days Of ordinary CONVERSE
ton and in the circumstance of secular
employment.

j. A. HUBBELL, Esq. Washington, ID. G.
DEAR SIR. Yours of 18th Of May ut., ask
ing me for a contribution to aid in the prepare
ton and circula ion of Suitable documents H.
Illustrating the issues which distinguish the Re
lican party from any other" was received some
days ago, You ask a prompt response :"
but hope you will pardon my delay, as press
ing business engagements have prevented al
earlier reply.
/ respectfully decline to paw the assessment,
or make contribution" to the fund OF your
Committee for the following briefly stated rea-
sons: First. The Republican party has had
an almost uninterrupted reign Of a quarter OF
a century's duration. 1t has, by the use Of
the means your Committee now proposes to
employ that is by an extensive circulation OF
electioneering papers supplied by money raised
through q regular system OF assessments upon
government employees, advertised itself more
extensively than any other party ever did In
this country. 1t seems therefore, that the
tissues which distinguish it from any other"
ought, by this time, TO be sufficiently known to
the people And il the principles of your par
ty were noble and patriotic as its leaders
would have as believe, they should long ago,
have taken such deep root in the affections of
the American peOple Ab NOT 10 Heeu iurtneT
support by the means proposed
Second. Having watched the course of the
Republican party for many years: having oh
seved with establishment and pain, the hostile
attitude Of many of its leaders end appointees
toward the people Of the South, as evidenced
ON many occasions by their disregard OF our
constitutional rights and liberties, /, in COM
mon with my fellow citizens, generally, here.
(SOuih y and, as believe, in common with
MANY thousands at the North, have been forced
TO the conclusion that the best means OF perpet-
uatinR our Constitutional form Of government
and Of preserving the rights and liberties be-
auesthed us by our fathers, is not 10 be found
10 continuation Of that party in power In
fact, Judging from It's history, we have reason
to fear that there is in 1t large class OF men.
who if they had the power wonld withhold
from the States the rights conceded to them,
respectively, by the federal Constitution, and
confer on the executive and his appoinlees, ar
bitrary powers, which would result in the
subversion of our government and in the estab-
lishment Of a monarchy.
Third. Having studied carefully the prin-
cipies Of the Democratic party, and having
learned 10 love and admire them az constituting
the basis upon which our government rests,
am Democrat from honest conviction, and
could not, therefore, consistently aid III tue
support OF a party Of sntsg0nistie principles.
Fourth. Instead of looking, as you say,
~ ith dread upon the possibility Of the resto
ration Of the Democratic party 10 the control
of the government" should hail that event as
glorious God send to the country. Hoping
What have said will be accepted by your
| Committee az a sufficient reason tor my nom
compliance With its order, APP very respect
fully. ISAAC D. UPSHAW.
