nue. cutter Oliver Wolcott arrived here yes
terday from Nitnat, on Vancouver Island,
having in tow the wreck of the life-boat
lost some time since from the life-saving
station at Neah bay. This boat was lost
while being towed by steamer across the
straits TO be used in attempting to rescue
the crew of the bark Lizzie Marshall, then
a wreck off Point Bonilla. The crew of
the boat became frightened and deserted
her, climbing on board the brig. The tow
ing hawser broke, and the boat went adrift
and could not be recovered. Several holes
have been stove in her side, but it is thought
she can be repaired The loss of this boat
was brought about by an inexperienced

with Arthur and Lincoln at the head of its
columns.
THE UTICA REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
New YORK, April 18th The Herald
prints three columns of opinions from Al
bany Assemblymen ON the Utica Conven-
ton. II says there is substantially unan-
imous agreement that the Convention has
dealt political blow TO Blaine. As to its
effect upon Arthur'S chances at Chicago
there is difference of opinion.
The Times still contends that Blaine's
chances are very much the same as thev
were before the Convention, with this ex-
ception-that his supporters are disheart-
ened. As for Arthur's destruction, which
has been gayly inferred from the doings of
the Convention, it is the fiction of sanguine
imagination.
WASHINGTON, April 25th.-The late New
York Republican Convention has attracted
more notice and ELECTED more comment
among members of Congress than any
other Convention. Friends Of President
Arthur are very much pleased at the way
the Blaine men were turned down, and the
Blaine men insist that it was no victory for
Arthur. A Republican Senator, who is OPP
posed to Arthur said: " 1t was practical
defeat for the President He could only
save himself from positive rejection in
his own State by making the nomina-
ton that put Edmunds in the lead.
Blaine had more delegates than Arthur,
and was barely beaten by a Eombina-
ton of both Arthur and Edmunds men"
Another Republican Senator who is not a
supporter of Arthur, although kindly in
clined towards him, said: "The result is
really in my opinion, favorable to Arthur.
If he stands chance of being nominated
he viii have the support of decided ma
iority of the New York delegation; but if
it shall appear that Arthur cannot win,
then the delegation will be turned over to
Edmundsn The Arthur men in Congress
are especially delighted at the defeat of
Senator Warren Miller.

MADRID April 25th.- While Agueros
expedition was in course of preparation
certain Spanish Republicans, of extreme
views. sent an agent to America for the
purpose of fomenting the movement. Their
hope was that the movement could be made
to assume such proportions that its reaction
would be felt in Madrid. The Republicans
promised Cuba self-government, and de
clared that the relations between Spain and
Cuba would be made similar to those be-
tween England and Canada.

Abraham Lincoln as Postmaster.

Very few people, probably, are aware
that Abraham Lincoln was once post
master at country settlement called
New Salem, near Springfield, Ill. In
rummaging among some old papers in
the postoffice department the other day
the documents showing settlement Of
his accounts were found, and by refer
ence to the records it appears that on
the 9TH OF. May, 1888, when he was
about "a years old, he was appointed
to succeed Isaac Christman as postmas-
ter, and filed bond of $500, with N t.
Alley and A. Trent as sureties. He
served from that date till the 30th of
May, 1880, but it was more than six
months before his accounts were set
tied, there having been a dispute with
the auditor of the treasury, who finally
decided in Lincoln's favor, and draft
of $2083 was sent to him in care of
the postmaster at Springfield, Illinois.
The postoffice at New Salem was aban-
doned, and the people at the crossroads
we're compelled to 60 to Springfield for
their mail, else Lincoln might have
served longer in the post. His COM
pensation for nearly four years amount
ed to only $345.

The only reply was the demoniacal
yell, 'Hack, ladyp Take mine. Hack
Any place in the city" She was being
pulled about in every direction.
Suddenly stalwart young fellow
who had been sitting on the box of ole
of the new cheap cabs, jumped to the
ground. He yelled as he ran toward
the struggling hackmen:
"Leave that woman alone. Do you
want to pull her to pieces"
His fists flew out in every direction.
The mob jumped to their feet and ran
away.
AS he turned around to the tremb-
ling woman he began:
"Please accepts seat"
Suddenly he threw his arms around
the young girl, and as ne did so he
cried:
"Bless my soul, it's little Lena!"
She recognized him almost at the
same time, and cried out as she faint
ed:
"Oh, thank God, John, I've found
you at last!"
He put her into his coach and drove
her to his humble home in Harlem.
He placed her under the care of his
mother, after explaining who she was.
1t Is probable that the happy couple
will be married in day or two, or as
soon as Lena RECEIVERS from the fatigue
of her long search.

POLITICAL.

The recent Ohio democratic state
convention at Columbus resolved "That it
is the sense of this convention that Samuel
j. Tilden, who was once legally and fairly
elected president Of the United States, but
defrauded out of his office, should receive
the unanimous nomination at the hands of
the democratic convention which meets at
Chicago on July Sth.'
Indiana democrats, in their state
convention on the oath, endorsed Mcdonald
for president. Isaac p. Gray was nominal
ed on the first ballot for governor; M. D.
Manson was nominated for lieutenant-gov-
ernor by reclamation; W. R. Myers secre-
tary Of state and John j. Cooper treasurer.
The North Carolina democratic
state convention nominated General Alfred
M. Scales for governor and Charles M.
Steadman for acknowledgements. The
delegates are divided between Bayard and
Cleveland.

THE CHOLERA.
Report of tho United States Consul at
Marseil,es.

Secretary Frelinghuysen has received
the following telegram from F. A. Mason,
United States consul at Marseilles, with re-
gard to the recent outbreak of cholera at
Toulon:
MARsEILLEs, June Estate Depart
ment, Washington: The cholera at Toulon
was kept secret until yesterday. On the
14th there was one death, on the 10Th one,
on the 20th two, on the 21st three, on the
22d thirteen, on the 23d five, and yesterday
twelve. The cases are Of mild character.
There has been only one death at the navy
hospital. The deaths are equally divided
between the civilians and military, and are
chiefly among the aged or young. The
question whether 1t is Asiatic or sporadic is
still undecided, but the former is probable.
There are hopes OF checking the epidemic
by sanitary precautions. The condition of
Marseilles is excellent and the death rate is
below the average.

KNOCKING OUT A DUDE.


The circus agent was cooling his rosy
nose in beer foam, but he pulled it out
quickly to reply to the Detroit Post
reporters question about the docility
of the sacred white elephant ''Light Of
Asia" Gas tractable as dog" he
began. "Why, you never saw any
thing like him in the elephant line In
your life. Never had to stab him once
with the elephant hook since he has
been with the show. Follows his keep
err around like the lamb trailed Mary.
1t astonishes me to see how meekly he
submits to the indignities that are
heaped upon him. There he stands,
day and night, like bump On log,
while people are twisting his tail, jab-
bing him with canes and umbrellas,
and sticking pins into HIM to see if his
hide IS genuine. No, never saw him
mad but once; that was in Buffalo. A
pair of the gayest looking dudes you
ever saw were examining him. One of
'em probed the elephant in the ear with
his umbrella and said to his mate:
Say, chappy, he's dooced white, now;
isn't he, old fellahp' 'Yaas, but he's
such blooming quiet beggar. l wish
LudI SHOW lelldu u SHOO I'LL up.
"'Yaas, said the first dude, as he
poked his bamboo cane up the ele-
plants trunk. About q foot of the
cane disappeared. The elephant gave
a snort of rage, which was followed by
a sound as of some one hitting bale of
cotton with piece of fire hose"
"What was it, inquired the inter-
ested reporter.
"Why, the elephant had slapped that
dude on the jaw with his trunk and
sent him turning cart wheels clear
across the tent"
"Was he hurtP"
"When they picked him out of the
sawdust he insisted that his back and
legs were broken, but outside of a
black eye and few bruises he was not
hurt"
"What did he sayP'
"Nothing huch; but he offered
canvasslnan six bits to probe the ele-
plants proboscis so that he (the dude)
might see how the thing worked"
