Of course, we were vastly entertained by this queer commentary but more awful revelations were behind. Our driver continued, "They did worse than that. They dug up two of our children out of our graveyard, and I swarc, sirs, to my certain knowledge, those picnninnics are buried yonder as 'unknown' boys in blue. I reckon that they are among the infantry." We asked this absolute man whose monument it was that rose above the common graves around.

What will They Do with lllni! fe The disposal of a certain gentleman addicted to horse-racing, by the name of Grant, who has been saddled on the radical party, is now the leading questiou with the republican politicians. The problem is one of more perplexing difficulties than any that has arisen for radical solution. The dileinna is even harder than that which was furuished by Mr. Andrew Johnson, nud the latter was too much for the dominant political clement of the day. The circumstances which contribute to the intricacy of the task are something as follows: I

Mr. Grant was a geutlemau whose lucky star guided him to the head of the army at a time when the war of

strength and resources, Mr. Grant led something less than a million men iuto a wilderness between Washington aud Richmond, and there caused a hundred thousand or so to he slaughtered. Then Lee, the rebel general, MtrrendereJ, aud Mr. Grant marched back, and bad the gratification of be-

he allowed himself to be intimidated, and learned by rote certain words that were written out for him, and caused them to be promulgated. But, meanwhile, he whispered into Dent's ear "Goin, Dent I'll stand by you. This is a little dodge of mine which will enable me to help you more than ever/'

And now comes the all-important question for the radicals. What will they do with him They can't impeach him with anything like good grace. They arc afraid of Colfax's suspicious smiles, even if they should oust him. They arc contemplating a proposition to secure him a military position which shall be establised expressly for him, which shall out rank that of general, and which gives him a salary in gold equal to that which he now has as president, on consideration that he will abandon all efforts at re-election and suffer them to "run the machine" during the remainder of the present term. Many say that this offer is too much, and that Grant would be contented with a few race-horses and the presidency of a trotting association. In the mean time, the most they can accomplish is to lure him away from Washington to horse-races, and "they grin and bear it."—Cin.Enq.

The Laic Eclipse—An Old Xrgro and 111* Chickens. Dr. Peters, the emihent astronomer connected with Hamilton College, went West to observe the late eclipse of the sun.

When he was 14 years of age, he had

The result was that this Mr. Grant wa6unanimously nominated for the presidency several times during th^» convention which the radicals held in Chicago, He managed to wiggle out of this ea«e Grant simply replied. "Let us have peace," and, with the motto on their standards, the radicals rallied, and the meu on the fence jumped down on their aide, and Mr. Grant was duly installed in the presidential chair.

Then the radical party which elected Mr. Grant begau to talk to him about his cabinet and his administration.

Benton, a few week since, he met this Watsou in a gambing saloon, recogniised him, threw a glass of whisky into his face, and then very coolly shot him six times with a revolver, letting his life ont through at least three mortal wounds. It appears that they were sitting side by side at a faro spread, both betting chips on the same cards, Hearing Watson's name called by the dealer, Webb examined his face closely, and finding in it every mark of the old time description, introduced a conversation, and managed to learn from Watson, that he was in Chicago in March of 18C5, the time of the murder.

This settled it for Webb. He didn't wait for the evidences of witnesses, or think of appealing to law, a very scarce article in that part of the world. While taking a drink of whisky lie carelessly took up some of Watson's chips, as if making a mistake in shifting a bet. Watson cursed the mistake and the author announcing that those were his chips. Webb shifted the glass to his left hand reckoned not, at the same time cocking a revolver in his pocket with his right. Watson jumped up and pulled his knife. Webb dashed the whisky into his face, blinded him for an instiht, and fhen, as Watson came at him, commenced snooting, and without going into the heroics or even exclaiming, "My father's murderer," proceeded to settle old scores. He then walked out of the saloon, and without much trouble made his escape.—

This is a wise step, and one that will convince the people beyond a,peradventure, that the gentlemen who have the construction of this road in hand are determined to complete the work ut no distant day. The distance from Indianapolis to Pekin is 212 miles. Hon C. li. Griggs, President of the Danville &• Pekin Division, informs us that the iron and ties lor 75 miles of his division are bought, and about 25 miles laid.

It stretched from near the north-western horizon considerably beyond the zenith in the south-east, about fifty degrees. It seemed to be composed of a mass of thin vapor, appearing at one moment intensly bright, and in the next fading away, only to reappear more brilliantly than ever. Tt appeared to proceed from the same spot as the more brilliant meteor earlier iu the evening. Tn about half an hour it had entirely disappeared.—

Look Out Tor Railroad Accidents About These Times. Beporters of railroad accidents will probably have plenty of business the next few w*ks. The three great lines to the West, the Pennsylvania Central, the Erie, and the New York Central, propose running trains through to Chicago in thirty hours, including stops. As the distance by the first named line is S99 miles, by the second 980, and by the third 981, it will be seen that an average speed will have to be kept up. while the trains are in motion, of considerable more than thirty miles an hour. On the thoroughly well built roads of England, with her light cars and engines, such a rote is safe euough but we tremble for the consequences wheu we think of our uneven tracks, sharpe curves, and for-ty-ton locomotives. It is, however, probable that the wear and tear of this high speed will prove so enormous as soon to force a return to the slower but safer pace heretofore, followed.

A Lost Xation.

A writer in the

der date of February 2, 1869, says^ when treating of the ruins c.f Simbaoe

A day's inarch from Audowa, between two hills at the end of a vast and fertile valley, are the ruins of Axum. To this day incredible flights of stone steps conduct the traveler up

to the summits of the hill, in one of notwithstanding his retraction, aud which are found deep grottoes and notwithstanding O'Brien denied all

stone. Very little of the ih"lris reveal their former purpose. There may, however, be distinguished two groups of fourteen or fifteen obelisks, thrown down. Seven of them are covered with ornaments, and are not less than thirty-six feet in length. These masterpieces of ancient architecture reveal to us the fact of an ancient civilization in the heart of Africa, which has disappeared again thousands of years since. Niebuhr tells us of a mighty Abyssinian empire existing here, mentioning in particular Saba, and says it was so powerful that even the .Roman and Parthian strength could not prevail against against it. This last statement was taken from a Greek inscription found among the ruin?, engraved ia stone. On the re-

together with one pair of irons, their wrists ironed together with another pair, their feet bent behind them, and both pairs of irons being tied together behind their backs. A more painful position can not be easily conceiv ed. At the end of these forty-eight hours they were raised from the deck, but to stand up back to back with their ankle irons still upon them, the arms of each being bent backward around the body of his comrade itrtorture. At each meai bread and water were allowed thein, with ten minutes suspension of punishment to enable them to eat it. No other suspension was allowed, not even when the call of nature had to be answered.

Consequently the fore-peak where they were confined became insufferably filthy, and the whole crew were made, in a measure, partakers in the punishment. For four days these men were kept ivoned hand and foot, and bound together back to back. The intense heat of the place increased their sufferings, and sleep became almost impossible. Simmons testified before the United States Commissioner that both he and Turner offered all their wages for the entire cruise to the master-at-arms if he would suspend their punishment for a single hour. But no suspension was allowed, and day and night the cries of the tortured ones rung in the ears of the crew call- I ing for release or death.

So much for the two colored boys. But now a white man comes on the stage and add^to the horror of the scene. The account proceeds in these words:

IIK outbreak of cattle plague along the line lately traveled by a iierd of Texas animals will be bid news not only for the farmers in the infected locality, but for all beef con.-umers in the Northern States. The advantages of being able to supply our markets with beef from the great pastures of, Texfis would be of great value, but to obtain it we can not afford to sacrifice our own herds. Another season's ex perience of the plague will pretty certainly lead to a complete interdiction of the passage of Texas cattl® through the Xcrtli and, for whatever supplies we may hereafter obtain from that quarter, we shall probably have to depend upon some such process as that lately tried in New Orleans, of tran«porting beef iu the carcass, packed in refrigerator?. A satisfactory result to experiments of this character is greatly to be desired.
