6111,1 —Shlospape.e.
"A bold. bad man In Gen. Grant,"
Salt Floyd one aloomy
An out Isom lionald , on he crept,
A. d took tin hasty flutht.
From Pillow's tremoling lips there catne
An rho sounding much the same.
And Bdekner thought his Oiler wan right,
Nor longer durst maintain the light ;
And then came down the rebel '• hors."
And front the fort hung ntripes and stars.
"That Grant's a dangerous man !" sold they
And doubtless think the same today.
"A bold, bad man Is Gen. Grout,"
Said Bata egard one more,
As from the haughty traitor's brow
The victor'. wreath was torn ;
And from the field ohs legions treat,
13y orders Gen. Grant h ol sent.
l'hen Shiloh's field was ouN again,
•
Despite the host of rebel Men,
Who ettille an army hoisting loud,
But went a panic strieken crowd ;
For Beatirvgard and all his nom,
Rtbnpe thought.Unint was dangerous then.
" A bold, bad man Is Gen. Grant, "
Said Pemberton one ouy : .
" Entreaties ore of Ito avail,
Ile trill. 111)1 go away.
A stubborn, mulish, d thaerOUS man !
Ile wants bur rebel hides to tan."
ALd ,till G•aut's caotion rAte I the town,
Until the rebel II ors came down ;
And then our bloaters rent and torn
Were through theta...ll-01 InClishli)e borne,
The '• boll, had man," t hat i ,lorimo 'Fourth,"
Bent gladsome tidings through the North.
" A bold, bad man Is Gen. Grant !"

And soon the cie ems !roe) Grant's brave men

Thu rehei G,•errnl had L.) rim,
And what. that •" tio.d, bad man" had done.
"'flow Grant's a dangerous man !" he bald,
As from the field his army fled.
"A bold, had man Is Gen. Grant,"
Said Luie, " that': plain to net I
Ili inu.t he very bold, Indeed,
To think of waspish,: me."
Then Peter,haec and nielonond fell ;
Then Appom stisx —may
At la-t our lie roc', Wolk was douse;
The tidal victory Was won.
Perhaps the puoille may forest
'flaunts thine-, but then. they havn't vet.

The next day, Friday, the deacon went

the window, and seemed to tangle itself all

kiss aud forgive me, and I'll go to work and
ravel it all out. I truly will I" and she laughed
again w.th the thought of what she had heen

laughed too, in spite of himself. Then he

But the deacon couldn't get over it--his
heart was 'wavy ; and while his wife was
busy hi the kite' n lie, put on his hat, and
with his hands clasped reverently behind him,
(his : , maulay walk) slowly and solemnly he
wa'ked ~it to the cluthes•line,

MrS. Fltnt was washing dishes, and nearly
dropped her best glass dish, when the deacon
walked in with the clean clothes. "I couldn't
stand a, Mari he," he said, in explanation.
"Goes I must sprinkle and iron them

The deacon merely ejaculated a disupprov•

The next morning, the Rev. Henry Brown
and his wife called very unceremoniously nn
the new deacon. , " We knew.it wouldn't be

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

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

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

do the job himsell, procured the as+istance of
a Gaucho of his acquaintance and two compan•

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

exclaimed, "I will give you $lOO,OOO if you

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.

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.—

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.

MR. MCMICHAEL'S OPENING ADDRESS
Gentlemen of the Convention: 'hank you

to say to you all how ~tad we ore to hove you

be to promote your comforts whiloyou remain

will induce you frequently to return. Under
any circumstances, the presence of en many

and progress, a new race—now at least in the
possession of political rights and civil func

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.

Convention.
The vote stood as follows : Settle, 25 : Hen
derson, Indiana, 13 Orr, South Carolina, 4 ;
Settle's nomination was, then made unani•

Mr. McMichael then presented the perma

I have the honor to announce to the Con
vention that Judge Settle has Just been unani
mously elected president of this body, and

Judge Settle came forward amid
,a long

he said :

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.—

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. In spite, however, of this cloud of
witnesses the Swede was detained three hours
when ho was curtly Add ; that liednlght go,
without even an apology,lieing offered. This
was nut the "cantata 'E§panola," 'b u t then
the conventional " cortrela Espanola" is a
