A Valley On Mile Ur..
. W. W. Thomas, late United States
Consul at Gothenbtirgh, Sweden, iu a
letter on Norway, gives the following
'iwci iption of that remote country afnd
oue of its phenomena t
Imagine a huge table land, rising
3,000 to 6,000 feet sheer above the
sea one vast rock, in fact, bleak and
Ijarrcn, covered with snow, swept with
rain, frozen 1n winter, sodden in sum
mer, the home of a few reindeer and
Lapps, and .you have Norway proper,
nine-tenths of the Norway that is
shown on tho map. Bui the rock !s
lot whole ; it is cracked apart here and
there, the ri'stircs show like slender
vVins over the dfltmtry. The sides ef
these ravines are as etee'p a"s tae 'cleft
of an axe, and their depths are always
filled by a foaming brook or river
tumbling from the drenched table
land above the sea. I have looked
from the bottom of one these valleys
anil seen the perpendicular rock rise
5,000 feet on either side, and the heav
ens show like a strip of blue ribbon.
Wherever in these dales there' lies a
bit of earth 'twixt rock and river.
there the Norwegian lrcasant has
built his cot; arid it is on such bits of
earth that inhabited Nonvav is situat
ed, and here live her lJCfo.OOO Peo
ple. The land just around his door
gives the Norwegian potatoc?, rye,
barley and oats; his cattle climb the
steep above for every stray blade, for
the rest he depends on the se'A Vnd
river. Wife it not for the excellent
fisheries along this northern shore,
Norway woilM be uninhabitable.
One night in July, 1805, Hon. J. II.
Campbell, lute Minister at Stock
holm, the two Messrs. Buckley, of
Birmingham, iw myself, landed on
tho shore of a northern ford in latitude
CO degrees north. We ascended a
clilf which rose 1,000 feet above the
sea. It was late, but still sunlight.
The Arctic Ocean stretched away in
silent vastness at dur feet. The sound
of its waves, scarce! v reached our niry
lookout. Away in Ihe north 'the huge
old gun svug l'dw along the horizon,
like tho sldw beat of the pendulum in
tho tall clock in ourgrnH llalher's Tar

ing at our watehrs. When both hands
'came together At 12 midnight, ti e full
round orb hung triumphantly above
the wave a bridge of gold running
due north spanned tho waters between

majesty, which knew no setting. Wc

word was said. Combine, if you can,

Tho rr'eat Vlrrtlnn A Letter Trifn

To the Editor of the Tribune Sir :
There is so much speculation afloat
ow'cerning the recent election iu the
Eighth Congressional District of Ohio,
and such interest felt IH il3 rcJull,
that I cannot refrain offering a few
facts that may throw smo light upon
th nia'tKf;
I live in a country adjoining the
District, and claim, therefore, to know
something of the chaiactcr Snd tem
per of the pcfplb there-.
Our party claims this result as a fair
indication of popular feeling in Ohio,
nnd I think this is correct. On the
fther hand, Valtandighf.m assorts that
the discontent that followed his defeat
led to this Deftrbcratiq disaster. And
this is not correct.' If you will com
paro th? vote in the liito clection with
that of the one in which Mr. HaniiU
ton was returned to Congress, you wih
firtiVthe falling off heavier on the Rc
publiwin than oil the Democratic side.
The Democrats polled nearer their

It was a special cfJion, nndltirae'; but when it comes to paying
every one knows how dillicu It it is to
get 9t such times
a lull vote. 1 he
Democratic party is brought out wMi
nfSrt ea'e than the Republican organ

majority Bf over C00v is proof rf a
mnjority in that District of over 2,000
at a regular election.
Mr. Vallrrdiglianf counted confi
dently on his popularity wi'h the
rriisfes of the Democratic party, nnd
found himself iriTtilkerT whoil he
made file trial. At the 8th of Janu
ary Convention he was voted out,
suffering a disastrous defeat, where
the voice of the Democratic people
had full sway and force. A no., in his
blind egetMimj'he haflost sight of the

One man, or set of rten. There is no

without leaders, as this. The late

We awakened tv.iki fatt, before the

US TO SEE HI
H tatic party will come up shouting
for a "white man's Government," and
avowing its 'solemn determination to
"vote the ticket, the whole ticket, and
nothing but the ticket.
1. Jus is not, however, what I sat
down to write you. I want to say.
that this result, in the Eighth Dis
trict, is a lair indication of the political
feeling in Ohio, if a campaign can be
fought out in the same maimer, and on
the same issue. While's, ''white man's
government" was demand h! at inter
vals, and the Reconstruction acts c6m-
niented ou, to some extent, the electiou
turned on the financial policy 'of the
Government. And if yoii will refer
to our ca'nuidnto's speech, reported
cnrctullv, and published at length in
The Cincinnati Cbmmereinf, you will
hnd that he placed himself fairlvf pou
'the financial platform of Gen. Butler.
Our people rallied to this rfy with
1 1 to ana enthusiasm tuf t rcmiudeu us
of tho war tinier.
I do not propose to offer any aitn
m'snt on this subject, and- only wish
to give you the facts, be they melan
choly or ot ncrwise. 1 ho men makine
up the Republican party T6 not pro
pose or wish lor repudiation. J hey
mean, if possible, to pay every mill of
our publ:C indebtedness. But they
will ri'ol consent to see the Indebtedness
they hold, ib tho iftafe of greenbacks,
depreciated, while that of tly? bond
holder is kept nt par. The Govern
ment bound itself in honor to make
the greenback equal to specie, and fliil
iVig hi that, the people, who suffer,
will not corfetit to having the bonds
paid in cold. If von can resume spe
cie payment, well and good. . If not,
we will nil go clown together. This
is what they r.icnn when they cry out
against one currency for Ufa people,
and another for. th? bondholders.
I believe I have not studied th na
ture and wishes of our people in vain.
Last summer, when our Slate Central
Committee wrote to me, at the Beaside,
asking my assistance in stnnipintt Ohio,
I answered; saying that it was useless
that the- eround we had taken on
our financial policy l?d to certain dis
aster, 1 he Committee laughed at and
called Wc Copperhead. And again,
when 1 rend Gen. Bvatty a speech on
tne nnaneini questions, i ; wrote our
f riends in the district to take heart
we would have n handsome triumph
Tho fact is, the people have been
losing monoy fiT the Inst two years,
and, Sintering gncvouEly uvm Heavy
taxation, aro disheartened. Like the
ass in the old fable, when urgpd tp fly
from the cnomvt they respond. You
remember liift speech, whtn, in reply
to the query as to what the enemv
would do if they were captured : "If
tlie bii'chi)- (the Democrat) will not
load me heavier or work mo harder
than you (the bondholder), fly, Oh I
my master, lor l will not fly.
This was very selfish in the ass; but
the world, for ninny generations lias
decided that it was quaint mid wise.

In every community there ere high

Pecksniff, who might very aptlv be
termed newspaper leeches. These
people are great ticwspiiptr readers.
They can't rctlst a canvasser, they in

bac ingratitude which cannot apprc:

And off coes Pecksniff in a huff
and sends his valubaie name to some
other trusting journal, which has not
belore been honored with his lecher

There are more newnnnncr leeches

The lesson of Grant's life is that,
wherever we aro placed, we are doing
our highest and best political work
when we aro doing the work nearest
at hand and to which we have been
specially assigned ; that, there is nft
such servant of the country as ho who
keeps his mind steadily fixed on what
ho knows to bo his business, When
Grant took 'command of a regiment r.
the outbreak of the war, he did . noth
ing but "command it to th'epst of his
ability. When begot command of au
army, he did nothing and thought of
nothing but com mantling an army.
When he v.ts made commander in
chief, he gave fiis mind, to the duties
of that ollice, and to nothing else. He
kept his gaze fixed on his books, pa
pers and reports, instead of taking
surveys of the country and tho world.
Or getting up "views" on reconstruc
tion or universal nfTragfe', Being a
soldier ho tried to be the best kind of
a soldier Limply, and not a mongrel
politician, with newspapers, doctt.nieKts
and drafts of speeches iu his pock
ets of a uniform coat. What temptation
an American soldies has to resist who
pursues this course, we may infer from
the example 'of General McClellan.
When that unlucky pcrSohago found
himself driven back po Harrison's
Landing after those awful day of Ju
ly, 1802, with an army perilhing by
inches in his hands, the nation look
ing on inagony, and tho world in sus

ever applied to a human being urging

Fashion rules tne world ; and a
most tyrannical mistress she is com
pelling pcoplo to submit to the most
inconvenient things imaginable f-Jr her
sake, . ,
She pinches our feet with tight
shoes, or choEcs us with tight Hecker
chiels.orBqucc&s the breath out of our
body with tight lacing..
She makes people sit up by night,
when they ought to be in bed ; and
k-cps them in bed in tho morning,
when Ihey ought to bo up srtd doing.
She makes Tt vulgar to wait on oiie s
self, and genteel to bo idlo and use
less. Sl:e makes people visit when they
had rather stay at r"ome, 'eat when they
arc not hungry, and drink when they
are not thirsty.
hc invades our pleasures and inter
rupt our business.
Hbc compels people to dress gaily,
whether upon their oyrI property or
that of others, whether agreeable to
the Word of God or the dictates of
pride.
She ruins health, and produces sick
ness, destroys life, and occasions pre
mature dcatV
She makes fools of parents, invalids
of children, and servants df all-.
She ia a tornictltor of conscience, a
dospoiler of morality, And an enemy of
religion, and no one can bo her com
