POLITICAL COMMON KEISftK.
When human nature attaint perfco
t;on we mJ jfc foT political party
... , F.J,. n,. i;. in
without faolu. The beat organization
ever devised by man haa had its weak
points. Kvta the church, an organiza
tion where purity ana excellence
should be found, if anywhere on earth,
has its shadows which at times darken
the light of its holy teachings. Yet
no one abandons the church because a
few of iu followers prove unworthy of
its oame-and become stumbling blocks
in the path of religious truth ; a few
.... ,11 l.A
tall but many press on, noimog aiou
the standard of truth. The ignorant
and vicious may sneer at the church
because its robes cover at times a hyp
ocrite and rascal, but the intelligent
and virtuous look, not to the one who
disgraces himself by falling, short bf
his profession, but to the. 'ninety and
nine who add to its glory by living up
right and Christian' lives. What we
are apt to call the faults of the church
are simply the shortcomings of a lew
of its members. The church is no
more responsible for them than the
sun is responsible for the clouds that
occasionally darken the earth. Its
teaohings tend to elevate, purify, and
if practiced by all would transform a
world ot wickedness into a periect
garden of love, peace, and benevolence.
But ia toe lace or human depravity
we must accept things as we hnd them
We' must bear with the faults of our
neighbors, remembering our own. We
must do the best we can. Perfection is
beyond our reach improvement with
in it. lo so live that by our exam
pie we shall do good, elevate mankind,
make the earth better for our having
lived and acted, is the sum aud sub
stance of man's duty to himself, his
country, and his God.
As U is with the church and all
moral organizations so it is with politi
cal parties. We must judge them, in
the aggregate, by the results they pro
duce ou the community, State, and
nation. It is possible for bad men to
creep into power iu a good party, and
equaHy possible for good men to be
found within the compass or a bad
party. There is no rule known by
whicj) the one can be kept out or the
other prevented from staying in. A
. t - i . . - . i
tniei may ureas, tutu a sauciuary auu
deepoil its altar; a Baint may labor
in a prison in hopes of converting its
inmates. We may punish the one
when caught, and urge the other to ex
tend his labors of love, but the facts
remain the same, and can not well be
changed. To judge the Republican
party by the character et a tew rascals
that have been caught plundering its
altar would be as just and sensible as
sit ia judgment over the Creator be
cause a few of his children have- gone
astray. Hover since the birth- of the
nation has a party been as quick and
willing to investigate whatever had
the appearance of wrong, and to pun
ish with even-handed justice the wrong
doer, as the Republican party. It has
carried this spirit nf Justice far be
vond the demands of political neeessi
ty, and bas been censured by its own
friends for prosecuting1 its investiga
tions beyond the requirements of its
inveterate enemies. Rut it stands ius-
tided before all men for purity of its
intentions. It came iuto power to
watch over and preserve the Gveru
ment. and it has never lost sight of its
original mission. We challenge the
Dolitical history of the world for
party equal of merit ; for a party that
has done so much to elevate mankind
and secure personal liberty ; for a par
ty that has left so broad an impress
tor justice ana numanity on tne civiu
zation of the ace in which it had ex
istence. To permit ambitious politi
cians, soured statesmen, or the open
and avowed enemies of the Republic
to break, up this grana organization
would be to welcome a calamity whose
approach would be ruin, whose pres
euce would be death to our peace and
prosperity, whose end no man is .wise
enouch to forecast. It matters little
whether it tails before the swora o
democracy or goes down by the treach
erous blows of those it thought its
friends; -its fall. wilt be the same the
breaking down of the only loyal bar
rier that guards the liberties ot the
people from the encroachment of that
despotic power that once held in the
chains of slavery four million human
beings,
We would sound tho alarm through
out the leueth and breadth ot tne
land. We would summon every lie
publican and every true friend of lib
ertv to their post of duty. Our ene
mies are active, unscrupulous, deter
mined by threats or promises to break
tra tha Dartr that saved the nation
and that now defends its honor and its
is being united ; little faults are beiug
distorted' into daring wrongs; the
peculations of a single oflicial are be
inz held up as the rule of conduct on
the part of all.; and if oar friendB are

judge the tree by its fruits, so we judge
the party by the fruits which it has
borne, and is still bearing, for advan

it has the power to bring it about. Do
we seek continued development of na
tional wealth, its past career is the
best assurance that we 6hall have it.

'""" ' The scenery at
this place both in beauty and grandeur,
is unsurpassed in the United States.
Nowhere else do Nature and Art vie
with each other upon a scale so mag
nificent. By the contrast between the
two, the astonished visitor is lost in
admiration with tho beauty that. en
chants him.
The bridge at Portage, the largest
structure of the kind in the world,
and over which a principal line of the
Erie Railroad passes, spans tho river
at the enormous heigth of 234 feet,
and is 800 feet in length. A view ot
the bridge can only give a just concep'
tion of its magnitude. Here, also,
the Genesee River, impatient with its
sluggish progress, enters a grand rocky
defile, presenting, for some distance, a
succession of wild and varied scenery.
The Upper.Falls, just below the bridge,
are 68 feet, S02 feot from the top of
the bridge to the bottom of the falls.
At the Middle Falls, ono-fourth of
mile below, the water pours in an
unbroken sheet into a chasm 110 feet
ecp, bounded on either side by per
pendicular ledges.
The Lower Falls, one and ouc-hali
miles "further down the river, forms a
beautiful cascade from which a hotel
at this place derives its name. ' The
scenery is much more sublime than at
either of the other fulls. Here the
river has worn a stone flume, deep, aud
so narrow tbat a person can ncany
leap it. Its rapidity is fearful to be
hold. After a precipitous course for
nearly ono-fourth of a mile, it de
scends twenty feet, striking against the
base of a conical rock, and turn
ing at a right angle, fulls into a deep
pool. Tliis conical rock rises 100 feet
from the bed of the river, and receives
the whole force of the" rushing river.
Following the course of the river,
one is impressed with the h eighth and
vastness of tho rocky bluffs, which are,
at some points 380 feet high.
The Cascade House is a fine struc
ture, large and commodious, aud fur
nished throughout in jnodern style. It
owned by G. W. Williams, and
managed by James C. Taylor. C.
LOCOMOTIVE WHI8TLINU.
The performances of the locomotive
whistle, we are told, .have been sys
tematized on Western railway, beven
whistles are to indicate "down breaks";"
thirty-two whistles, "up breaks ;" forty
whistles and two snorts, "a back up. '
The instructions add t "In case of a
doubt, whistle like the d 1 ; ' at the
street crossings whistle "considerably."
Acrain : "Always whistle before din
ner. Require the fireman to keep the
whistle valve open during dinner. Al
ter dinner, whistle and squirt water;
then back up. then go ahead with a
whistle, snuirt and a ring." This
sibillant method being achieved, may
we not hope thai the screams or the
engine may iu time be modified iuto
something inelodiousT Then, indeed,
we might have such instructions to the
driver as these; "For 'down breaks,
lay the . chromatic scale; for 'up
reaks,' the scale in C; for a 'back up,'
the first six bars of the overture to
Zaropa; in case of a doubt, a double
thrill; aud at street crossings a series
of simnhcent runs. 1 his with some
wild ndneio to be performed after ac
cidents, should the locomotive be well
enough to appear, would render the
signal system very complete. -
Mosauitoes are described in a cer
tain part of Minnesota as "thicker
than the surrounding foliage, with
wiuoslike Aoollvon's. a beak like an
Artesian augur, and a voioo like the
sound of many waters."
There is ono consolation in being
bald. When a policeman strikes you
on the head with his club the doctor
doesn't bave to waste auy time cutting
hair away from the wound.

A voi'NO man's vanim:kin:w.
Col. George W. Sherman, a man df
twenty-six, is a nativ ot Hunt a Cruz.
In 1808, after the election of President
Grant, he was a resnleht of iower
California, and,, witli two other men,
conceivod the freak, from love of ad
venture, of journeying on horseback
to Santiago, the capital of Chili. The
two friends who set out with him were
James Pierce and II. Thompson; hut
on tho fifth day from the start these
faint-hearted companions abandoned
the enterprise, aud returned, leaving
Col. Sherman to pursue his journcv
alone. For five hundred miles he hnd
an Indian attendant with him, but this
aborigine deserted, and carried off one
of the two horaes which the Colonel
had with hint.--Fortunately, ourtrav
eler had resolution enough for his tin
dertaktng. ills provisions soon gave
out were exhausted, indeed, before
be had crossed Central America but
he had a rifle and a couple of revol
vers, aud he fared burnptuodsly- on
game, including broiled parrot and
roast monkey, lor several days m
Peru be feasted on snakes. The route
selected lay about forty miles off the
coast hue of the I acinc. Alter pass
ing through Mexico, no danger men
aced the Colonel except from aligators
n the Guayaquil swamrs. llio rep
tiles wero so thickly imbedded in the
mud of that regiou that the Colonel's
horse hnd frequently step on their
backs. A call of two days' duration
wns made at the port of Chamba, in
Bolivia. This was the only civilized
place at which the Colonel stopped.
In nine months and three days after
leaving Lower California, Santiago, iu
Chili, was reached. Here a halt of a
few weeks was made, and, Qui.' Sher
man disposed of t' e mulo which had
carried him so far. IIo then took
passage by a Southern Pacific steamer
for the Straits of Magellan, and was
lauded at Sandy Poiut. His object
was mineral prospecting. He crossed.
the Straits, and spent some mouths
among tho Terra del Fuegatis. Here
he discovered gold, silver, coal, in.u,
copper, lead and tin in the working
qualities. . Specimens of the gold
ledges afterwards yielded an assay
8450 to the ton, and one of these ledges
he traced to a distance of five hun
dred and seventy (eet, with a width of
thirty feet. From Terra " del Fuega
Colonel Sherman crossed to the mam
land, and tpent many weeks among
the Putugonians, learning the language
of the tribes and observing their bub
its. The natives of bleak Terra du
Fuega arc extremely barbarous. Save
a clout arouud the ir loius they are
stark naked, male and female, but in
very cold weather they use skins for
shoulder covering. Apparently, both
on the island aud main laud, the in
habitans tweeze all the hair off their
bodies, except the'shock which adorns
their head, and which lulls down to
their uecks, and is pressed buck from
the forehead by a leather strap. The
men average Irom seven to eitrht lect
in heights One very tall follow moa
sured nine feet four aud a half inches,
fAfcross the shoulders he was four feet.
and he weighed 500 pounds. Some o
the women whoso altitude was taken
by the Colonel, wero seven feet nine
inches in height, most oi tne inhab
itants, though massive in body and
Mmb Lave small hands 'and feet. Off
Terra del Fuega there are immense
numbers of seals and great quantities
offish to feed upou ; oil the mainland
wild horses and cattle roam tho vnl
leys in millions, and afford abundance
of animal food all the year round
From Patagonia Col. Sherman return
cd to Chili, bearing with him nunier
ous mineral specimens. Thence he
journeyed overland alone to the Ar
centiue lvepuunc, nis riue occupy wc
twelve days, lie reucned iiuenos
Avres bv way of Mendoza. Then he
went to iioliviu a tin explored ti

Paraguay was the next country visited
and then Brazil. In lJru.U the t. oiom
worked for a couple of months in ti
diamond mines, but realized only
trilling sum. I rom Brazil ho went t
Montevido, and thence ho set sail f
Snain. where he spent some titno
Madrid. Afterward he went to Bo
giuin. Leaving Europe, he proceeded
to Cuba, and a short titno thereafter
he was iu Mexico. From Mexico
proceed to New Granada, and the
to Bolivia and Peru. Chiua was th

wounds he received dniing tho insur
rection nt I,imn in 172. From Peru
ho went to Bolivia; then to Chili;
to Teiru del Fuega ; then to tho wain
land, and across tho Cordilleras to
Rueuos Ayres; then buck to Handy
Point, in the Straits of Magellan; then
to Chili; then to Bolivia; then to Pe
ru ; tlieuco to Panama, and so on to
San Francisco. Col. Sherman hae
familiarized himself with five South
American native languages, and ho
has also a good linguist iu French,
Italian and Spanish, which latter
tongue he speaks more fluently Jjitui
English. In addition to the wander
ings above described Colonel Sherman
bus imiile two ther touts almost aa
extensive. Although twenty-six years
of age, ho has been away from humu
thirteen years, and he seems n9 unsat
isfied with his travels as if he hud
made a one-horse trip to New York.
Ilia, wanderings have been undertaken,
not from any desiro to extend our
nowludgu of tho couutry; ho visits
ut purely from love of udveuture and
n tho interest of the precious metals.
Colonel Shemiau has, however, made
copious notes and. not a few sketches
by the way, and some day, when ho
reduces these to subsequence and sys
tem, a volume of his travels will
prove most readable.
HERD of CA.uuLM ix m;vada.
If (
Ou a ranch on the Carson river,
ight miles below the mouth of Six-
mile Canon, is to ba . 6cen a herd of
twentv-six camels, all but two of
which wero born and raised iu Nevada.
But two of tho old herd of nine or
ten brought hero soino years ago are
now living. It would seem that the
original fell into tho hands of Mexi
cans, who treated them very badly,
overloading and abusing them. Tho
men who now have them are r rench-
men, who had formerly some experi
ence with camels in furore, inqv
find no difficulty in tearing them, and
can now show -twenty-four line healthy
animals, all of Washoe growth. Ihe
camel may now be said to be thorough
ly acclimated lu.tbe htnto. ihe own
ers, of the herd fiud it no more diffi
cult to breed and rear them than
would be experienced with the same
number of goats or donkeys, ibo
ranch upon which thev are kept i
saudy and sterile in tho extreme; yet
the animals least and grow lat on such
prickly shrubs nnd b:tter weeds as no
other animals would touch. When
left to themselves their great delight,
af'tei filling themselves with the coarse
herbage of the -desert, is to lio aud
roll iu the hot" sand. They are used
in packing salt to tho mill on the
river, lrom tho marshes lying in tne
deserts some sixty milts to the cast-
ward, lhey have animals that easily
pack eleven hundred pounds.
Somo sharp postmaster has set an
example which has been followed to
some extent and which will necessi
tate nnother change in tho postal laws.
By tho new law salaries are paid in
accordance with tho number of post
age stamps sold. So those sagacious
oilicers who deem their services worth
all thev can get, buy their bread,
meat aud tobacco with postage stamps.
They payoff merchants and mortgages
with poslngo stamps. When they ren
der up their accounts all these stamps
are reported sold, nud whou the prop
er time conies, up goes their salaries.
This is cunning but cannot last. .
Au old man and his wife who earuo
in by tho Pittsburgh it Connellsvillo
road yesterday morning, saw about a
dozen hacks at tho door of the depot,
and about a dozeu huckmen shouted
"hack" at them. Tho man took it all
us a high compliment, and turning to
the old lady said : "I tell you, moth
er, they think wo are something great,
or they'd never had all these cacriages
down here to meet us. I wonder how
they knew we was coming."
That was shrewd advieool a learned
lawyer to his pupil : "When tho facts
are in your favor, hut the law opposed
to you," come oui strong on the facts;
and when tho law is in your favor and
the facts opposed to you, coma out
stroug ou tho law." "But," inquired
tho studor.t, "when tho law nud tho
facts are both against mo, what shall
I d?" "Why, then," said tho law
yer, "talk arouud it."
A very fat man, for tho purposo of
quizzing his doctor, nbked bun to pre
scribe for a compluiiit, which he du
elared was flecking with his mouth
open. "Sir," sui.l tho doctor, "your
disease is incurable. Your skin is too
short, so tliut wlieo you shut your eyes
your mouth opous."
A darkey, left' in charge of a tele
.gruph oftico while the operator went to
ilii.ncr, heard some one "call" over
the wiu-s, und lagan thoutiugt tho
iii-trutneiit : "Do operator i.-u't yur !"
The noise ceased.
