I truly will I" and she laughed again w.th the thought of what she had heen guilty of till the deacon kissed her, and laughed too, in spite of himself. Then he walk d to the window, and looked out. '• You're not going to let them clothes hang out were all day, are you, Martha Flint ?" " 01 course I am ; you don't suppose, now I've got them out, God's going to grudge the the sunshine to dry than with, because it's Sunday, do you?

'lii deac,u turned slowly around and sat down. Then pt melting herself on his knee she took his limiest brown lace iu her hands, and said, "Be a good boy, now, and tell me all the truth ; remember George Washington, dear." The deacon smiled, just a trace of trouble in his smile, and tithing the hands that held him captive in his own, said " Well, little woman, 1 had everything. finished up last night, ready to start for home on the five o'clock ttani.

The next morning, the Rev. Henry Brown and his wife called very unceremoniously nn the new deacon. , " We knew.it wouldn't be washing day here." laughed Mrs. Brown, "so we came early. I could hardly wait to get hero and talk over the funny affairs. .Henry said after you sat down last night, he felt like inviting you up Into the pulpit." " Why, bless me I"sald the astonished little luvly, blushing like a girl, " I felt so ashamed of myself after I gat through, 1 wanted to hide my head under the deacon's coat I 'twas the first time I ever spoke In meeting in my life." " I hope it won't be the last, Mrs. Flint, if you always speak as much to the purpose as you did last night," said the minister, coming forward. " Yes," broke in his wife, " Henry said he'd always advocate women's speaking in meeting after this," " It was capital I" said Mr. Brown, recross• ing the room to where the deacon wood. Just what Job Dean has needed lor a long time—a good reproof—hut no roe had the courage to give it to him. Your little wife has just done what the whole parish will thank her for." " Ever. body I've seen Is just enraptured with you." said his wife to the laughing he roine, who had been rehearsing all the funny passages to her. "You have made yourself famous; look out for plenty of calls this week!" "Oh, well," she said, tossing the baby, "the washing is done, and I shall have plenty of time.". Mrs. Brown laughed, and said, "I think I shall send you word next Saturday night, tied the next day will be Sunday, and you bad better not wash till Monday." "Mrs. Flint," said the minister, "I think you luny comretent to manage your own at% fairs, without an of my wife's interference," and so, laugaiug merrily, they departed. "Samuel," said his bonnie wile, as site closed the door. "don't you think I've in troduced you pretty well? Will you ever call me Martha—Pendleton—Flint again when I ant hanging up your shirt in the front yard ?" Somebody was chased out in the kitchen just then, and laughed so loud it wakened the bady. Babes in the Wood Plot lle•enueted A young man in Buenos Ayres, possessed of a little money, and desirous of utlising it to the best of hie ability, went out recently to Bragadn, to stay with his uncle, who is a hrctiter of the Padre of the place, with the sum of $200,000 • In his pocket, intending, should he come across any eligible "negocloe in :Attie or wool, to devote hie money to the purchese ;.but, while looking about him, he suggested to hie uncle that it was not wise to carry his funds shout with him, and that It would be safer if his uncle would take charge of It, permitting him to draw as occasion re• quired. After a little time, the elder relative conceived the idea that the funds 6r which he was the custod Inn would he much better utif zed by himself, if only the obstacle of the n. phew were removed ; and, being afraid to do the job himsell, procured the as+istance of a Gaucho of his acquaintance and two compan• ions. who, for the sum of $50,000, agreed to put the young man out of the way. For this purpose, they presented themselves at the house as men who had flicks for sale, and understanding the young man desired to buy sheep, named soma absurdly low price, to tempt him to get out and see them, and back ed up by the uncle's persuasion, it was ar ranged that the next day the Gauchos anti their victim should make the proposed journey which they stated to he only three leagues distant. The following day, therefore, they started, anti having gone a considerable tile tance, the man began to ...oration the guides as to 'heir statement about its only being three leagues when the leader of the gang confess ed that he had lost his way, and suggested that, as they were all tired, they should take a "siesta.""R•cados" were accordingly spread on the ground, and the young man wee soon asleep. The leader of the gang drew his • Mean"— but, at the last moment, either hie conscience pricked him or his courage failed him, and, in spite of the entreaties of his companions to finish his business, he shook the young man by the shoulder, and, awaken ing him, confessed that ho hart been engaged to ki I him, by whom, and why. He naturally exclaimed, "I will give you $lOO,OOO if you spare my life I" But the Gauchos, who sp pear to nave something of the better instinct in them, replied—"No ; give us your ring, watch, and pocketbook to take back and show that we have fulfilled our contract, nod we will get $150,000 from the old man ; and meanwhile you must consent to he locked up in a 11.1180 in the outskirts of Bragado till we get clear away." Thu agreement was conclud ed, and the young man being safely hidden away, the supposed murderers presented t hem seivea to their employer, who now repented of his generosity, and proceeded to haggle over the-payment. However, eventually, he mid $30,000, and gave a "prtgaree" for the b dance, and the men departed highly pleased with the conclusion of the enterprise. The story got wind, however, and the uncle and two other G tuchos were forthwith apprehend ed, and heing confronted with the intended victim himself, were convicted, anti the whole four sent in irons to Mercedes Jail, where they are now, and we hope to hear will re• cttive the just reward of their Crime.—Plata Tirnei. THE VALLEY OF DEATH. The Valley of Death, a spot almost as terri• he as the prophet's valley of dry bones, lies Just north of the old Mormon road to Debtor nia. a region of 80 miles long by 30 broad, and surrounded, except at two points, by inacces. Bible mountains. It IS totally devoid of water and vegetation. and the ab tdow of bird or wild beast never darkens its white glaring sands. The Kansas Pacific Railroad engineers discovered it, and also some papers which show the fate of the " lost Montgomery train," .which came sauth from Salt Lake in 1850. gelded by a Mormon. When near. Death's V tiley, some came to the conclusion that the Mormons knew nothing about the country, so they appointed one of their number a lead. er, and broke off from the party. The leader turned doe west ; so with the people and wag• ons and flock.; he traveled three days, and then descended Into the broad valley, whose treacherous mirage promised water. They reached the centre but only thetwhito sand, bounded by scorching peaks, met their gaze. Around the valley they wandered and one by one the-men died, an I the panting flake stretched themselves In death under the hot sun. Then the children, crying for water, died at their mothers' breasts, and with owed len tongues and burning vitals the mothers followed. Wagon after wagon was abandoned and the strong men tottered, and raved and died. After a week's wandering, a dozen sur vivors found some water i the hollow of a rorl in the mountain. It lasted but a abort time, when all perished but two, who escaped out of the valley and followed the trail of their former companions. Eigtity•soven families with hundreds of animals perished here, and now, after 22 years, the wagons stand still complete, the iron work and tires are bright and the shrivelled skeletons lie aide by side.— Sprinalleld Republican. Death of the King of Smikers Mr. IClaes,'known by the name of the King of Smokers, died recently near Rotterdam, Holland. Mr. Klima had according to the Belgian papers, amassed alarge fortune in the linen trade, and one portion of a mansion ho had erected near Rotterdam was devoted to the arnangement.of 'a collection of pipes, ac cordtng to their nationality and chronological order. By his with hhe executed thor ly hefore his death, b e directed that With. emok• (TA of the Country should.be invited to his fu neral, and that each should be presented with ten pounds of tobacco and two Dutch pipes of the newest fashion, on which should be en graved the name, arms,. and date of the decease of the testator. His relatives, friends and fu• neral guests were strictly enjoined to keep thelnip.a alight during the funeral proces- sion and ceremony, and afterward to empty the ashes from their pipes on the coffin. The nonr of the neighborhood who attended to his last wishes were to reeelve annually no the anniversary of his death ten pounds of tobacco and a email cask of gond beer. He further directed that hisnak coffin should be lined with the cedar of his old Havana cigar boxes, and that a box of French calms! and a packet of old Dutch tobacco should be placed at the foot of his coffin. His favorite pipe was to be. placed by his side, wilt a box of matches, a flint and steel, and some tinder—for, as he said, there wits no knowing what might hap pen. It has b , •en calculated that the deo axed gentleman during his eighty years of life smoked more than four tons of tobacco and had drank about 500,000 quarto of beer.

Republican National Convention, After Mr. 'McMichael had been escorted to the chair, yesterday, lie spoke as follows : MR. MCMICHAEL'S OPENING ADDRESS Gentlemen of the Convention: 'hank you for the privilege of presiding, even for the brief period I shall enjoy the honor, over such an assemblage as this. lam the more gratified because as a delegate from Pennsylvania, and a resident of Philadelphia, It gives me an oc casion to welcome you to our State and city ; to say to you all how ~tad we ore to hove you among us ; how careful we shall endeavor to be to promote your comforts whiloyou remain with us; how dreirous that when you leave us you will leave us with such impressions as will induce you frequently to return. Under any circumstances, the presence of en many distinguished men, gathered from all parts of this mighty land, which grow& and stretches so rapidly that in these recurring quadrennial convocations, new States, new Territot it s,a d in this case, happily for the cause 01 humanity and progress, a new race—now at least in the possession of political rights and civil func tines, and.sonn to be endowed with all the at tributes of equality—are represented ; under any circumstances your presence would be to use source of satisfaction, an I It is especially so in view of the purpose which has brought you hither. The malcontents who recently met at Cincinnati were without a constituency; the Democrats who are soon to meet at Bald more will be without a principle. The former, having no motive in common but personal dis appointment, attempted a fusion of repelling elements, which has resulted in explosion; the latter, degraded from the high estate they once occupied, propose an abandonment of their identity, which means death. Unlike the first, you are the authentic exponents of a great national organization, based upon principles, Firm as the marble, founded as the rock ; As broad and general as the easing air ; . unlike the last, your object Is to preserve, not to destroy. And, gentlemen, differing from both these in character and aims, you will differ no less in the nature of your delibera tions. On the subject which has most per plexod and must continue to perplex their councils, Ir. yours, rather let me any in ours, there will be absolute harmony. With us the selection of a Piesieentlal candidate is a fore gone conclusion. In that regard the people have decided for us In advance, nod we have only to put their will into proper ••iiiipe by for mally nominating Ulysses S. Grant. And with the blessing of God we shall not only make that nomination without demur, without del ate, without dissent, but we shall make it unier etch auspices as w ill insure its complete and aoundant ratification at the polls. It does not need nor, considering my tem porary occupation of this chair, would it he suitable that Lehould enter into any elaborate commentary as to the merits of our candidate. But this I will say, that notwithstanding all the malignant venom that has been spit at him ; all the odious calumnies that have been heaped upon him ; all the disgraceful slanders that have been circulated in regard to him, General Grant at this moment enjoys more of the confidence of his countrymen, is believed by them to be an honeater, truer' and better man titan any of his detractors. No one In our day has been more causelesely, more' shamelessly vilified ; no one will he more' thoroughly vindicated. The great heart of the American people beats responsive to truth and justice, and as they nave tried anO, tested and trust him ; as they know that his admin• istration has bi . :.en wise and faithlui ; as they have seen the nation prosper under his rule as it has 'never befitre pri.spered, they will stand by and defend, and, when the ballot.box gives them a chance to do so, avenge him. Remem. .boring the sore trials which, along with his 'fellow-soldiers, he underwent during the war, his sacrifices of ease and comfort, his perils by day and by night, the exposures by means of which those who never revile hint were able to secure luxurious repose at a oaf's dis lance from danger, they art quite willing he should Indulge in "palace cars, and cigars, and seaside loiterings," and they mean to furnish him With the opportunity of enjoying. these for at least four years to come. As to the Vice Presidency, no doubt, gen tlemen, there will be various preferences. Some of us will at first favor one,some another, but we shall all strive to obtain the best man ; and when the choice is ultimately made I trust we shall all feel that we have succeeded. In regard to the platform to be adopted it is not for me to anticipate ; hut along with other im portant doctrines it will undoubtedly contain the widest recognition o f human freedom, and the clearest affirmation of the duties which the government owes to its laboring masses, wherever and however employed, in town or country ; and with such candidates and such a erect, whether we have to encounter the de caying remnants of a once powerful party,but now ao feeble that it is crying piteously to its enemy for succor ; yr an incongruous alliance of ill-assorted factions, with no bond of union ha the greed of office, or all of them combin• ed, we shall go forth conquering and to con quer. -Mr. McMichael was frequently interrupted by applause, and his alluaions to the Cincin nazi and Baltimore movements were received with the .wildest enthusiasm. Three times three were given when he said; "The election with us is a foregone conclusion." Grant's name, again, aroused the feelings of the audi— ence, and prolonged applause followed, the delegates riding in their seats to give vent to their enthusiasm. - - . Mr. lilchlichael concluded amidst wild ap plause, and three cheers were given with a will for the Cluirman on the motion of a dele gate in the parquet circle. Atter the appointment of commPtees on Credentials, on Permanent Oiganizatton and on Resolutions, a number of speeches were made. Gen. Logan excused himself from mak. lug a long speech.pleading hoarseness. gerrit Smith made a telling speech and was followed by Senator Morton. who spoke as follows : Gentlemen of the Convention—l see the cer tain evidence of victory in November in the enthusiasm. It is spontaneous and not menu f ictured. This audience rept.. sent the Repub lican party which has a great inission.to per form to take care of the country. To it this great nation must be committed in the future. The Republican party Is not a man-worship per. We hold rather to principles, we stand by pioneers of principles as long as they re: main faithful. When a pioneer falls he falls farther than anybody else. Among several nations of antiquity the fathers have a right to kill their own offspring. Ho denied the right of fathers of principles to kill the party. Mr. Morton then went over the history of the Republican party, and announced his under standing of what It bad to do—to serve the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments that no party shall pre to question their legality or validity. The rights of the colored men should be secured beyond peradventure. Our work will not be done until the law shall lie equally'performed. The Ku-Klux organiz t.' lion should be subdued. It but sleeps. It will awake to life shortly before the election. The Government should be firm and bold to wards them. Our Gevernment protects Its citizens in fdreign countries, and would re sent a murder in any other cenntry. Shall it then be Bald that the Government has the power to protect its citizens in every country but their own ? I hold that when a State is unable to protect its citizens that the thoi• eroment of the United States has the power and right to do It. I favor what was called the Ku Klux Law, it was li tended as an ar bitrary law for the President, bat for the pur pose of protecting the lives of mlllions'ot peo pie of some of the Southern States. We know the President would not abuse the power, and he hes not. SELILCTION OF THE PERMANENT PRESIDENT. Judge Thomas Settle, of North Carolina, was then chosen permanent President of the Convention. The vote stood as follows : Settle, 25 : Hen derson, Indiana, 13 Orr, South Carolina, 4 ; Settle's nomination was, then made unani• mane. Mr. McMichael then presented the perma nent president, as follows : . I have the honor to announce to the Con vention that Judge Settle has Just been unani mously elected president of this body, and will now take his seat. Judge Settle came forward amid ,a long continued cheer. When quiet was restored he said : EWES= OF JUDGE SETTLE Genremen of the Convention : I thank you for the d•stinetion of presiding over the de. liberations of the greatest party in the great. eat power on earth ; and I accept it, not an much as any personal attribute to myself, but as the right hand of fellowship extended from our magnanitnons sisters of the North to the erring, wayward, punished, regenerated, pa triotic sisters of the South.

The motion to adjourn is agreed to, and the convention stands adjourn ed until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. EARLY CALIFORNIA Plows were rough fashioned from the stem of small trees, while tree-bush was the only materials of which harrows were composed. Yokes for catt'e were merely poles of suitable length, lashed to their horns by means of raw -hide thongs, and the only vehicles were carts of which the wheels, were sections of logs,and resembled huge cheeses with holes through the centers. astead of chains, rawhide ropes were used. In fact, at this period the whole business df plowing and seeding a California farm might be accomplished without using iron in any implement, if we except the pole or goad used for driving cattle ; for in the end of this persuader was inserted a small' brad or awl. Relating to these carts an anecdote is told which may not be out of place here. In a certain section of California the people were greatly annoyed by the marauding parties of Indians from the mountains, or wild Indians as they were called. Now, It happened one day that an American who was riding past a, grove in which was situated a ranch house, heard Issuing from the thicket the most ter rible and piercing screams. Hurrying with all speed to the next rancti, he Informed the people what he had heard, and that he believ ed the place WM+ attacked by Indians,and that they were murdering the woman and child ren. The ranchmen bravely responded to his call, and hastily, with such arms as they could collect, hurried back with him to the place, vowing by the way of vengence upon los piratos y robe , os —the pirates and robbers. Arriving at the place of the supposed attack, they found no robbers, but only a couple of tame Indians engaged in the p:aceful occupa tion of hauling fence poles with two of these carts, propelled by oxen, and as the wheels and axles were composed entirely of . wood, and no lubricating material used,, a great serf eeltin4 was the consequence. The manner oh plowing was peculiar. To every pair or oxen there were two men—lndi ans. The business of one was to hold the one handled plow upright, and also to use the persuader or goal, while the other acted in the capacity of guide, marching solemnly just in front of the team. These plowmen were accustomed to wear only boots and pants pro vided by Dame Nature. A serape (blanket with a slit in the centre) and au old broad— brimmed sombrero (hat) completed, their out fit. Sometimes the plow holder acted as guide to those in the rear, and fre quentiy there were five or six plows running in the same field. The furrows were mere scratches, being about four or five inches wide and three inches in depth. The harvesting was accomplished in the same primitive fashion.- the grain being cu with slices and stacked in a small circular en c:osure, having space between the stack and fence for a passage or roadway. Into this a band of horses were driven, two or three mounted drivers being among them, whoop ing and yelling like madmen. Round and around the stack went the flying band, the grain In the meantime being thrown on the ground f r them to run over. After a few hours' exercise of this kind, the horses were turned out, the threshed straw thrown over the fence, more of the untbrashed grain spread on the ground, the horses again turned in, again the wild mad chase performed, and so on until the stack was finished. The threshed grain was then imperfectly separitted trim the straw and chaff and dit t by carry ingit up high scaffolds andpenring It down while the wind was blowing. This, It will be perceived, was the process practised three thousand years ago. Though poor and rude the plan, still, owing to the fertility. of the soil, crops fair In quality and quantity were obtained, and. the padres madres senoritas hombres and Indira (Indians—these latter be ing peons and perfrrming nearly all Me labor —were enabled to luxuriate on tortilla* on— ions, beery , etc:, to their hearts' 'content.— Can Judel gereury. THE SPANISH POLICE A Story of the Carlltrt Rising A capital story comes from Barcelona, illus trative of the acuteness of the Spaniah police, and the anxiety caused by the Carlist' risings, which, though certain to bo put down ulti mately, are producing a mischief everywhere even in provinces like Catalonia, .whcre car- Item had no vitality. It seems notion , ago a Swedish merchant of Barcelona. Mr. Wenn berg went over to the Balearic Islands for a holiday, accompanied by his wife. When he returned, the passengers found to their aston ishment that nobody was allowed to land, and six hours passed, during which. their Im prisonment lasted. Presently armed men-of war boats surrounded the vessel and the, po lice boarded her and demanded the produc tion of the passengers, "Senor ' Carbis Gus tave." This was the Swedish gentleman in question, who was forthwith taken into custo dy. and conveyed on shore to the office of the Civil Governor amidst a wondering . crowd. Now frr whom had the Barcelones police mistaken this middle aged blonde' Sikeda of portly habit? For young Don Altentmobrother of Don 'Carlos I The absurdity, ol :i the thing soon became apparent, because as Boon as the news spread dozens of well known likrcelon ese men of business poured in to testify that 'Mr. Wennberg was as.well known in the city as the angel with the trumpet on the Custom House—which angel (by the, way), according to a favorite Barcelonese joke, is sald tb sound his trumpet every time a virgin PAWN under neath.
