Notes and Clippings.

DAN has susypnded his canvass in ororderto get up anew speech, Hie old one having been BO badly used UP that even he is ashamed to repeat it.

A VERY sensible fern ark is nindc by tlie I'.rooklyn Daily Union: "We do not approve of papers for colored people or papers for white people. Our sympathies are towards papers for all people without distinction of color."

one of those grand orations with which Dan was wont to fire the souls of his rebel allies, during the war, he said "The soldiers are a pack of thieves from General-in-chief down to drummer boy." If Dan wants proof of tin*, lie can haveit. .SiS'

"ftas shown a good deal of

common sense during the just closing sea~**J son at the summer resorts. Even at Newport and Saratoga short dresses were generally worn, not onty for l^pfning and afternoon costume, but also for full eve-

ning dress. 1" Cape -May and Long branch the same may be said. Ix one section of Dan's speech he boldly asBerts that "no one dollar of the in-terest-bearing portion ef the public debt has been paid since (.-5 rant came into power. In another section of |he same luminous document he abuses*the administration for redeeming bonds with gold! Daniel is a model of consistency!

THE Democracy of the Fourth Illinois District are in high feather. They have a candidate for Congress, P. L. Cable, Esq., who proposes tospetad tifty thousand dollars to beat the Hon. John B.

THE Chicago Republican thinks the Emperor Napoleon has studied Caesar's Commentaries on tho Gallic war very thoroughly. The first sentence, "Gallia w/mis in -partes trcs dirisia eft,'' or all Gaul )9 divided into three parts, must, iu view of the three armies of the King of Prussia, have a new significance to the Imperial author of the "Life of Ciesar."

Mo line ornamental goods are made in the United States, nor do we rum out anything in the way of leather work, line gilt, pearl, ivory, morocco, or carved wood. America certainly own' produce these tilings.

BIG FOOT LAKE.

This name is supposed to have been given it on account of its resemblance to a big boot," the leg of which is about six miles long and one wide, and the foot about two miles long with the same width. The resemblance is so striking that any credulous man of a strong imag-

Big Foot has one peculiarity which will interest sportsmen. At least it does interest those who live within a dozen or twenty miles of its shores, and often draws them from a greater distance. The interesting feature is vJv

THE CISCO FISH ANI FJ.V.

In the month of June there appears hereabouts a large green fly. The flies come in immense numbers, by the millions the people say. At the same time there appears iu the lake a small fish, about six inches long, and with a very slim, luidy. The flies settle upon the water nud the fish feed upon them. tSports.ju.ca, take a boat and go ojit a fewrods from the shore, pinch the flies from theiricoat sleeves, and putting them upon their,hooks., catoh the iish as rapidly as they can draw them in. The lish are excellent. In about two weeks the tlies H*«appcar, and after they are gone not one of the tish has ever been caught or even seen. These facts 1 have from the very best authority. We are too late for this sport, but with the rock and black bass, the perch and inuxcolaxir/f we have no difficulty in supplying our table with all the fish we want. Two of us took thirty the other morning within an hour. Let me tell you how we pass

JT SEEMS almost incredible to an American mind that the great London Times should have hitherto steadily refused to take subscribers, preferring to depend entirely upon sales from day to day. We are assured, however, that such has been the case for the past half century. But a change ha3 recently been made in its policy in this particular. The rivalry ot other and cheaper, as"well as more popular papers, has materially reduced the Profits of the "Thunderer," and though it continues to thunder as loudly and defiantly, perhaps, as ever, its managers now are willing to receive subscriptions and to send the paper to subscribers by mail.

SHORES OF

BIG-FOOT LAKE, I

NEAR

GENEVA, WISCONSIN. August 27. 1870.

EDITORS OF EXPRESS:—An order to go into Camp came in the following words contained in a letter. "I go into camp next week at Geneva Lake, down back of Racine.,.. Take the North Western Railroad Monday morning and go to Racine Junction. There take the train and go West about thirty miles and meet me." The man from whom this peremptory command came was an especial friend whom, of course, 1 desired to please. He was also large enough to enforce his order or inflict'the penalty for disobedience. Camping was just the one thing above all others which 1 desired. Hence, with these good and sufficient reasons, it was not difficult for me to seethe "path ot duty" leading'directly to this Lake, and I took the path. Following the directions given I found myself landed, at ten o'clock at night in the little town of Springfield) Wis., and was directed to the Hotel. The accommodations which said Hotel oflered to guests was a single bed room about eight by ten feet. But. what was lacking in space was made up in other ways. In this guest chamber were two beds, and each bed was generously provided with two feather beds. So I had four feather beds at my disposal, for I was .the only guest. 1 slept in only two of them. The weather being cool and I being tired I did sleep in spite of the beds, and by this super abundance of smothering softness was all the better prepared to enjoy the hammock and the blanket spread on the floor of the shanty, between which the remaining nights of the week were spent. A ride of ten or twelve miles early the next morning brought me to the camp which had already been established. The second man I met, away here in the woods, was the minister who nine years ago. "away down East" made a certain damsel promise me obedience, and then pronounced your correspondent and said damsel "man and wife." As he is good fellow and did not mean any harm in what he did,—in fact I must confess that he acted at my special request,—and as the promise has been so well kept, I have no special grudge against the parson, and was as truly glad as I was thoroughly surprised to meet him. There is no spot, in all this West where a Yankee is safe from meeting one or more whohas known him in earlier days. This is a great assistance to a weak conscience. But I must tell you of the Lake upon the shores of which we are. It has some nnpronouncable name given it by the "noble red man," which translated is

duties, you will find one. here and there lying upon the green -banks dozing or enjoying the tired manVbliss of nothing to dor Others are reading Lothair. Put Yourself In His Place or some equally light literature. Here yon will find a couple of parsons at quoits, a match game' very likely. And a little outside on a level plat yon find a company of both' sexes at croquet. There was great excitement in camp yesterday. At dinner two members of one of the messes were startled by a challenge to play a match game of "orthodox.billiards." Your Correspondent was one of the challenging party and enjoyed the sweet satisfaction of being most ingloriously "beaten in presence of the assembled camp. Thus the day passes. A little after night-fall a bright fire sends its light among the tents and shanties of the camp and reflects itself from ten thousand fluttering leavesIt is the signal for evening prayers. From the dusky shades on every side emerge shadowy forms which, as they approach the lire, are lighted into peculiar forms and complexions. One looks like a huge Indian, the chief of the Big Foot tribe, Another is pale enough for a messenger from the spirit woridi'HjEach has a peculiar and unnatural look. ,, Here we are around the blazing fire A few. more ibrush are cast:'tipori the pil6 and the flames leap higher, and the light reveals the entire company. A long plank stietched: between two boxes is lined with the women and a few of the men,! while around the lire on the other sides sit, or lie at full length upon the ground, .other members of the party. A little in tiie background sits a lady in the swing rocking her little one to sleep. The moon draws a band of gold across the trembling bosom of tjie lake, and now for a moment frames itself with the leaves and brandies tfhich opeli just 'wide enough lo show its frill filbe, afid now it vainly attempts* jo conceal itself behind the leaves, and renders its charms all the more attractive by the rustling gauze through which it shines. A familiar hymn, two or three of them, are sung. An earnest praye^is offered, abounding in expressions of gratitude to the God of nature for the beauty with which he ha3 clothed this world, and the joys with which he has made life sweet and attractive. Another hymn and then come the hours of earnest talk, and story telling. Each slip? away to whanty, tent or hammock just when he chooses. Night after night when all the rest had gone, my friend and I raked together the smouldering embers and threw on one or two stray branches which had been left, and talked and talked on till all the camp was quiet and all was darkness save one little spot of dying coals. Then, after going to the spring for a final draught of the fre3h water, we, too, rolled ourselves in blankets and dropped to sleep. Thus pass the days and nights in camp. And there is no other place in the world where a man can rest and drink in health and vigor BO rapidly as. in a pleasant camp. Long Branch, Saratoga, and Martin county are not to be mentioned in the same day with life in the camp. WANDEKEK.

REMARKABLE INDIAJSS.

1'liev Live in a Desert Without Water —They Walk Hundreds of Miles Without Stopping.

From the Alta Calitornia.] h-. A large faction of the Piute tribe of Indians live on the Great American Desert, a region about 1,000 miles long from north to south, and about 300 miles wide from east to west. There are on this desert stretches of 100 miles without grass or water. It is a region of sand and rocky mountains, with but little vegetation, and this of a peculiar stunted character. Here and there, at distant intervals, there is a little wood, a little grass, and a little water procured from holes. A running stream is almost unknown. There is almost a total absence of water in the air, so that the solar heat is fearful in its intensity, ranging from 120 to 160 degress Fahrenheit. This is the home of the "Desert Indian," and some facts exhibiting his nature, habits and peculiarities may be interesting to your readers.

The "Desert Indian" is as much a re-

flection of the country he inhabits as the

ination can see it when it is once pointed lizard or the horned frog. He is hollowout. It is beautiful sheet of water. Lakes are like beautiful faces. The one before the eves always seems the finest. 1 have seen quite a goodly number of these Watery gems in otir land, East and West, and to-day I am fully persuaded that Big Foot is-the most beautiful upon which my eyes have ever rested. I have not. the slightest doubt, however, that the next little basin of water set in a studding of green rolling banks, fringed or crowned with oaks or cedars, will win m)' highest admiration. It is not that I lose my appreciation of the old, but the last has always some new charm, or combination of beauties which give* it for a time the preeminence.

So ihS^s lhkn*tfcertty-1*enr hours they con sumed, per capita, more than one hundred pounds of meat.

For the last six years the "Desert Indians" have found it exceedingly difficult to eri9t.

They were invaded, some ten years since, by some epidemic disease, so that now only a few reinain.

The closing diaaflters of the First Napoleon's reign left France altaost stripped of her best fighting elements. Since then a succession ofshort lived dynasties and revolutions have gradually weakened the confidence of the people in themselves, and accustomed them to a more and more complete submission to the central power—by whatever name it might be called. Their tame acquiescence in a rule which they knew to have been based on the vilest crimes and violations of faith, has not only proved their deficiency in true, manhoodj but it haS been a steadily operating cause of denioralizaiion. A people who will so long and so abjectly submit to snch a rule as that of Napoleon's has been, finally deserve to have such a ruler, and mnfet gradually deteriorate to a fearful extent. And when they consider it a compensation for their degradation that their government has done better for them than they conld do for themselves, when they lose gradually all public spirit, when tliey become more arid more the recipients df imperial bounty and the subjects of imperial good management— it is not strange that their manhood should ooze out, and that they should become mere pleasure-seekers and live merely for the day..
