tbs. ct all! The New Workers. especially
took our eye, for they were Seward
men.
At last they got to balloting, and
when Abe began to climb. our heart
was seized by gravity and tended to-
ward our boots. Such yelling! such
suspense! And when it was known.
that Lincoln was scoring, all eyes turn
ed to York state. with yells for York
to show her hand. and when tall thin,
pale, lank Evarts came sadly forward
to move to make the nomination OF
Lincoln unanimous, this writer, like a
tarnal fool, cried. boo-hooed, yes, sir,
actually cried.
But the lord knew best. All say so
now. II a providential thing ever hap

A RIDE ACROSS IOWA.
[Sioux City Tribune.l
| There Is nothing equal to ride
across Iowa at this season of the year
to evoke the exquisite thrill of sheer
existence: it is like the unrolling af a
grand and beautiful panorama; wher-
ever the eye turns scenes OF beauty and
promise Of comfort greet the vision-the
undulating prairies with their rich
green and yariegated hues OF dainty
lwild blossoms, the groves and growing
shrubbery surrounding every farm
house; the fields OF tender young grain
and meadows Of short, rich grass. which
already begins to catch the silvery
4 light Of early day and reflect in its sea
green depth the golden glow Of an early
lsummer sunset. How quiet and peace
full the groups Of cattle look, as they
lift their heads lazily to look at the
Numbering train, and what visions OF
material prosperity they suggest, even
4 to the most poetic mind. These are
4 scenes of wonderful pastoral beauty un-
