Of had happened to her father made PhGbe's
steps falter on the threshold. She pushed
the door open only TO find the living room
empty. Phebe seized lamp and ran up
the lighthouse stairs. At the top she al
most stumbled over her father living in a
heap, the great horn fallen from his hands,
his red face and heavy breathing showing
his sad condition.
Phebe sprang to the lamp; the grsa, daz-
zling light flashed out. There was few
moments of silence, and then there came a
shout from the water below. Ph9be seized
the great horn and blew a blast in reply.
"Lish, ahoy :" shouted voice.
PhGbe shook her father with all her
strength. He opened his eyes and tried
with her help to stand on his feet.
"Put your head out of the window and
shout to them. Oh, try your best to do it,
father" begged PhGbe.
He did try, but it was only stammerng
whisper that came
Phebe lowered her voice to the grufIest
bass notes Of which it was capable and called

GONE on AN INTERESTING AND POETIC
TRIP.
The Ogden (Utah) Daily Nems has the
following pleasant words for a valued cor
respondent of the AMERICAN, and con of
Hancock County:
Among the number Of Grand Army men
and accompanying friends who left, last
evening, westward bound, was one whom
we deem deserving of special notice, con-
siderng both his vide spread professional
and literary reputation, and the interesting
nature of the trip he has set out on, COM
prising overland journey and extensive
ocean voyage. DR.. Condor goes, in the
first place, to San Francisco, as a represen-
tative Of this encampment, embracing five
Territories, to take part in the grand pro-
ceedings Of the National encampment Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic. to be held
there next week. In this official character
he will do honor to the veterans whose dele
gate he is, as well as to the org anization as
whole. He is soul and mind wrapped up
in the glorious principles of the order, to
which his tuneful Tyre has often given most
pathetic and eloquent expression, as is
on record in many splendid poems from bis
fertile and versatile pen, several of which
the News has had the eminent pleasure
of publishing to the delight of its readers
Thus our esteemed and distinguished poet
physician will find himself at home not only
among the old comrades in arms and among
the best of the medical fraternity of the
Golden Gate city, but he will be certain to
be accorded an enthusiastic and sympathetic
reception in the highest literary circles. in
which he will be found the peer of the best,
and where we hope he will imbibe that en-.
couragement which only he needs to delight
his friends and the general reading public
in English speaking lands with volume of
the best gems and productions of his Muse
He Is sure 70 become recognized as the Joa-
quin Miller and Bret Har,e of the Wasatch
Mountains, soon to take equal rank with
them on Parnassus.
But garlauded with the osk wreath of the
patriot and the laurel Of the poet, our
friend will follow the star Of Empire still
further westward, embarking on the blue
bosom Of the Pacific Ocean to take a voyage
to the Sandwich Islands, where we are con-
filent that the balmy breezes will fan his
Muse to poetic productions yet unsurpassed
even hy him We look for rich literary
harvest from nr. Condor on this extensive
tour. # IS almost needless to say that hun
dreds of warm friends in this city and
Territory, wish him, with the News. God
speed a pleasant journey safe voyage, and
a return home. laden with increased health
and literary wealth. Al. reroir. Doctor.

one night, as old Saint Peter slept,
He left the door of Heaven aar,
When through, little angel crept.
And came down with falling star.
One summer, as the blessed beams
OF morn approached. my blushing bride
Awakened from some pleasing dreams,
And found that angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of sin,
He'll wing his way for that blest shore
And find that door Of Heaven again.

Quite a proportion Of our male

on Monday forenoon to Racine to
participate in or to witness as
spectators the exercises of the day
in that city. A procession headed by
a band of music, and consisting of 226
Knights OF Labor, marched to the Ke-

cine. Some surprise was expressed at
the apparent strength of the Knights
in this city. 1t is claimed they num-
Der 400 here, but of the correctness of
this we have not at hand the means of

for Racine were sold at the Kenosha

IOWA DEMOCRATIC STATE CON.
VENTION.

The Democrats of Iowa assembled
In state convention ON Thursday of
last week. 1t is said to have been the
largest convention of that party ever
convened in the state. The Green
back party also met in state conven-
ton at the same time. The two par
ties concluded to join teams, by which
agreement two of the candidates on
the state ticket were conceded to the
Greenback party, and the balance 20
the Democrats. A resolution was
adopted on the liquor question recon-
mending the passage of a law to allow
the cities and towns in the state local
option, to adopt prohibition, or high
license, not less than $500. This is
quite long stride towards temperance
for Democratic convention to take,
but that body was probably driven to
1t by the pronounced attitude of the
Republicans of Iowa, who have a
strong temperance hold on the people.
This resolution may catch temperance
votes for the state ticket; the nominal
ing conventions in the several counties
and districts for members of the legis.
lature may respect it or may not.
Even if the Democrats were able to
carry the state ticket in the next cleo
ton, it would not ensure either local
option or a $500 license. The pro-
clivity of the party is too well known
to suppose it would adopt at once any
such radical change on the liquor CUES.
ton. 1t is matter of congratula zion
that the Democrats of Iowa have put
themselves on such record, whether
it accomplishes any good or not.

An Iowa paper, in announcing a

is to consider the general welfare of
the party, and to formulate such meas
ures as in their wisdom will continue
the advancing interests of the same in
the great state of Iowa." Not word
is said in regard to the interests of the
peo pie, but Of the party. AS long as
the demagogues of any party are per-
mitted to manipulate all public con-
Germs, the people may expect they will
be managed in the interests of the

REWARDING TRAITORS.

The bill which for long period has
been pending in Congress to restore
Fitz John Porter to his position as an
army officer was passed in the Senate
by vote of 80 yeas to II nays. This
vote will take loyal men by sur.
prise. and they may we'll exclaim with
Mark Antony in his funeral grafton
over the dead body of Caesar, " o judg-
ment, thou hast fled to british beasts.
and men have lost their reason" Fitz
John Porter was tried during the ad.
ministration Of Abram Lincoln by a
court martial, aud found guilty of the
disobeyance of orders, by which disas.
trous consequences followed. Presi-
dent Lincoln declared the evidence of
the guilt of Porter proved him worthy
OF death, and such was the sentiment
of the loyal men of the country. Since
that time there has been persistent
efforts to induce Congress to restore
Porter to his former standing, and on
the final vote of Porter's restoration
every Southern ex-Confederate Senator
was on hand and voted for the bill.
Of course it was natural for these ex-
Confederate Senators to vote for the
restoration of Porter to the army, in
consideration of the service he had
rendered the rebellion. Enough
Northern Republican Senators, with
out satisfactory reasons given, voted
for the restoration of Porter. Gen.
Logan, in a mastery speech, made it
hot for these Northern Republicans
who voted to reward traitors. We
should be glad to publish the speech
of Gen. Logan entire, were it not it
would necessitate the omission of other
matters. The following sentences of
his speech will serve as samples of its
tone and temper:
while Republicans here were help
ing Democrats to pass bills like this,
there were bills giving pitiful little
pensions of $5 to $15 month to dis
abled soldiers of the republic that were
being vetoed by the President. So.
for fighting for the flag, for standing
up in time of war, for being ready to

year to a man who was traitor to his
commander. So, if men wanted to be

The brutal slugger and prize-fighter
John l.. Sullivan, has been very anx'
ious lately to make himself notorious
AT Boston, when he learned that he
was liable to arrest, he suddenly left
the city and made his appearance in
New York, where he proposed to en-
gage in slugging match against any
three men who could be produced, de.
voting just one hour to each one in
succession, and in case of failure to
vanquish them all to forfeit $1,000.
Nature may have endowed him with
brute force and endurance, coupled
with skillful training, sufficient to
fight them all successfully, and if no
one was to be punished but himself,
and no brutal exhibition was to be
made to the moral detriment of the
public, we would say, let him fight it
out to his own destruction. But COM
mon decency forbids such disgusting
spectacles. The Mayor of New York
called upon the Chief of Police to pre-.
vent the sparring taking place, and the
proprietors of the grounds where it
was held were notified that license
of 5000 would be required to COM

The TELEGRAPH has more than
once echoed the current opinion that
Gladstone is the greatest living states
man in Europe; nor is he surpassed, If
equalled, by any who pass for states
men in this country. If home rule for
Ireland is defeated, it will not lower
him in the estimation of his friends;
it detracts nothing from his high stand
ing if he has failed in his expected
triumph in the British Parliament
The wisest of men have often been
found in the minority. Majorities
must be submitted to. but they almost
aso ften determine for the wrong as for
the right. The agitation for home
rule will continue to go on while free
discussion is permitted. If home rule
is morally right, it will not stay de-
feated. Truth crushed to earth shall
rise again; the eternal years are Gods
