THE New York Tribune does occasionally manage to tell the truth.—Journal. If the Democratic press of the'eountry could be induced to do so semi-occasional-ly there would be some hope of a needed reform in political journalism.

THE Cincinnati ('hronir/e says it is not improbable that the Third hio District Convention, which meets at Middletown to-morrow, will nominatetien. Hchenck by acclamation, and adjourn, subject to the call of the Executive Committee, in case the nomination thus tendered should he peremptorily declined.

Kilpatrick has conducted the affairs of our Government in Chili with ability ufsj success, and his recent resignation wa? the result of no dissatisfaction at the ytate Department, hut purely matter of choice with himself.

THE Now York Tribune is exhibiting so much enterprise in securing telegraphic advices relative to the war situation—an enterprise so very much greater and more liberal than that developed hy any of its city contemporaries- that we cannot refrain from rendering to lhat journal tli praise which is so richly the recompense of its reward. To the fullness, excellence, and reliability of it new. about the European war, the whole country is principally indebted for the variety of information which the interior press are able every day to lay before their readers.

Tnr. Chicago Republican thinks "the only serious danger that Chinese immigration could otl'er to American labor, would consist in their being permitted or encouraged to come in great multitudes, bound by legal contracts for a long series of years. That would be a form of qualified slavery, and would be injurious to the society it might fall among, just in proportion as it resembled or approximated chattel slavery. Lut, from such a system, we have nothing to fear. It is already prohibited by law, and if experience should demonstrate that further safeguards were needed, the good sense of Congress would quickly *uppiy them.''

A Michigan Letter.

SPRING LAKE, MICH., July "0, 870. EDITORS EXPRESS: -, It is a great convenience to be able to leave Terre Haute at ten o'clock in the morning and, making a very close connection at Mat toon, reach Chicago at eight o'clock in the evening. Then too it is difficult to take a pleasanter trip at this season of the year, than a ride by daylight lengthwise the Grand Prairie, on the Illinois Central R. R. No man who takes this ride will ever wonder again that no Western man can talk five minutes without some allusion to the "vast agricultural resourcesof the West." In fact the wonder will be that the American who has seen these endless and exhaustless fields boasts no more. Such a vast extent of corn fields, and all promising this year the very richest harvest, I never dreamed of before. During all the eight hours ride from Mattoon to Chicago, driving on at the rate of twenty miles an hour, I verily believe, we hardly ever had less than one hundred acres of corn within sight. Then add to this the fact that it was only a very narrow belt that came under our eyes, and that this prairie is only one of many, and pray why may we not boast? Here is "bread enough to feed the world," and whisky enough to supply all the demand for delirium tremens, fill any number of prisons and almshouses, and keep in active operation all the temperance lecturers and societies of the nation, and then enough will be left to fatten all the hogs which a perverted and accursed taste demands. I never lose an opportunity to abuse hogs and those who eat them, both of which are an abomination.

Once in Chicago of course no citizen of Terre Haute, who is without cousins or friends" from whom to sponge his board while in the city, will fail to go to the Tremont and report to Sam. Turner. It is really wonderful how this prince of hotel proprietors does manage to persuade every one he meets that it gives hiin more pleasure to see his face than that of any man he has met for an age.* But he does just this thing. 1 do not believe that any man whom Sam. ever saw before, ever left the oflice of the Tremont without believing that he had made the said Sam. inexpressibly happy, and every man and woman from Terre Haute, is sure of it. And I am not so sure that all are not right, lor I do not believe that a man can be so thoroughly cordial unless he feels it more than most men. At all events there is a cordial welcome, a hearty grasp of the hand, and pleasant smile to cheer every weary, dusty, sweating traveler who books here. 1 know because I have been there.

SPRING T.AKE

is the name of both a Lake and a lown. Grand Haven is a pile, or several piles of beautiful white sand at the month of Grand River. There are a few houses, enough perhaps for five hundred inhabitants, but sand is the principal part of Grand Haven. Banks of pure sand, fifty feet high, without tree, shrub, grass or house, are all about. Entering the Grand River and going up it about a mile, you turn into what seems to be another river, but which, after passing another mile or two, you find to be the outlet of a Lake. This is Spring Lake. It is a body of water about three miles from Lake Michigan into which, as I have indicated, it empties through Grand River, and is five miles long by from half a mile to a mile wide, it is one of the most beautiful sheets of water to be found anywhere. It is surrounded by banks rising directly from the water to a hight of forty or fifty feet, and then the country is nearly level. Instead of regular outlines, the bank sends itself out into the Lake in arms or points. These points are so numerous.and extend out so far that it is often difficult for strangers to discern the direct passage up the lake. Each of these points provides a beautiful location for a residence with a farm in the rear. And at the head and along the bayous forming these arms are also most attractive building lots and farms. When once the banks of this Lake are settled, and its lands cleared and cultivated, it will be impossible to find a more beautiful spot in the Northwest. It is to be the great fruit-growing region of the West. From the peculiarities of location and climate the fruit crop never fails, and the soil is perfectly adapted to this purpose. All the land about the Lake is being rapidly turned into fruit farms. A young man told me that about a year since, he bought several kits of land, over a hundred acres in all, for six dollars per acre, and now it is worth fifty dollars per acre. 1 am told that a man here who has a large tract of land proposes to get it rapidly settled, by giving away every alterna'e tract of ten acres to parties who wiil make improvements immediately. Here is a chance for some of our young men of enterprise to get a good start, en acres is enough for a good fruit farm.

Ii is here upon the banks of this beautiful lake and in this promising country, that our former citizen and friend of everv body in Terre Haute. Theodore Curtis, is settled. And it is here, in a greai farmhouse, two miles Irom the village, with plenty of blackberries on land and fish in the water, and with boats at command, and friends all about, that von can find \VAXDEKUR.

A CERTAIN town near providence has an exceedingly considerate Jinan. The other morning he awoke to find hi house on' tire. Partiallv dressing himself he ran across the street timidly rung his neighbor's door-bell, and patiently waited for some one to answer the summons. After a little "the man of the house" appeared, and the timid man said,"l do not wish to create an unnecessary alarm, but mv house is on tier."

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.

A Voung Girl Found After Having Keen Mourned as Dead for Fifteen Years.

From tho Kansas City Times.]

Nearly fifteen years ago there, lived on the banks of the Ohio, but a few miles from the city of Louisville, a man by the name of Henry C. Danforth, the family consisting of himself, wife and one child, a daughter only a little over two years of age. One day the child escaped the vigilant eve of the mother, and wandered from the house. Search was made, but no trace could be found of their darling, until reaching the banks of the river her little bonoet was seen near the margin of the water. Then indeed the little one was mourned as dead, and only a mother's heart can fathom the agony of the bereaved parent. Time passed on. Other children came to take the place of the lost one at the fireside, and the first storm of grief at the terrible affliction had given way to quiet submission. Still the blue, dancing waters of the Ohio always caused inexpressible sadness to their be reaped hearts. Five years ago the fami iy removed to St. Louis, where they have resided ever since. Last Saturday Mr. Danforth received an anonymous letter from this city, urging him to come up immediately if he wished to find his daughter, whom he supposed was drowned thirteen years before. He arrived in the city Monday last, and proceeding to the place designated in the letter, found a woman whom he had known in other days rapidly nearing the grave, and a young girl in attendance upon her. She pointed to the child immediately upon his entrance, saying, "This is your drowned child," and entered upon an explanation which convinced him of the truth of her words. It seems that he himself was the innocent cause of the affair. The woman had loved him previous to his marriage, and when the words were spoken binding him to another all the wort passions of her nature were aroused and she determined upon some revenge, and how faithfully she executed her intention the above facts will testify. She had kept herself informed of his whereabouts, and when she knew that shortly death would claim her as his victim she determined to make all the reparation in her power. Who can paint the joy of the father on finding the dead alive? The woman it seems had only been in our city some six months, coming from Cincinnati, to which place she had fiist lied with the child. She said she had always treated her as she would her own daughter, to which the child testified, and begged that thewoitian might be taken with them. The result was that yesterday evening the three took the train^on the North" Missouri Railroad for St. Louis, and ere this the waiting mother has received the embraces of lier longlost daughter.

Mrs. Stowe, is eager that" the readers of Pink and White Tyranny, of which the fiist part appears in this number, shall not fear that they are launched upon a novel, of which the end is far in the future. Indeed, she savs, "It is no novel at all. A novel, in our days, is a threestory affair a complicated, complex, multilorm, composition, requiring no end of scenery and dramatic persona?, and plot and plan, together with trapdoors, pitfalls, wonderful escapes, and thrilling dangers and the scenes transport one all over the earth, to England. Italy, Switzerland, Japan, and Kamtschatka. But Pink and White Tyranny is a little com monplacestory,all about one man and one woman, living straight along in one little prosaic town in New England. It is to run through five or six numbers of Old und -Veil, and end with a moral, and, lest you should not find out what the mosal is, we shall adopt the plan of the painter, wno wrote under his pictures, 'This is a bear,' and 'this is a turtle-dove.' We shall tell you in our last number succinctly just what the moral is, and send you oil' edified as if you had been hearing a sermon. So please to call this little sketch a parable, and wait for the explanation thereof."

J. N. in Louisville.

The Louisville Journal, the ablest paper of the South, thus concedes the triumph of his theory: "J. N." —This immortal philosopher, who dining the war and since the garments dyed with blood have passed away, endured the pressure, and from his standpoint, which was sublimely above the doubts, mists, and fogs which obscured the mental vision of philosophers, patriots. and statesmen. North and South, ha* pointed out with the accuracy of a seer the true way, and lifted the veil of prejudice, so that its glories could be distinctly seen. ha« left the city to visit sundrv Northern benighted villages towns and cities, where his presence ineeded, and will speak in Madison on Tuesday evening. July 12th. But I. uville, Lexington, and other Southern ies and towns are not to be neglected. N. will return on August ltith, and, with his advanced position, new basis of logic, and ethereaiized theories of our national troubles, will throw such tloods of light upon the situation, will so harmonize discordant elements, that the most skeptical will hail hini as ihe forerunner of peace, and his words of truth as the harbinger notes of a political millennium. To hear him and see the immortal philosopher, the people "Will come as the winds comc

When the forests are rended."

And as they listen to the magic of his eloquence, the power of his logic, the wisdom of his counsels, they will feel an assurance equal to a second revelation, that the mountains which have obstructed the nation's advancement have been cast into the sea, and with a shout of triumph and songs ol jov will beat their spears into pruning hooks, bury their hatchets, and with one accord vote J. N. the political Philosopher of the nineteenth centurv.
