The People’s Convention of Kt Ixmis county yesterday nominated a full ticket, which will probably be endorsed by the Republicans. * The Emperor William has written to tin King of Italy,-regretting that he will be unable to visit Rome in the autumn, as in- . tended. The Iowa railroads have all moved into » joint ticket office at Omaha, and hereafter 7 baggage will be checked direct from Omaha to all Eastern points on these roads. The Grand Hotel at Saratoga was destroyed by tire yesterday. I,osa $300,000. with $200,000 insurance. The Grand Union and Congress were saved with great difficulty. An insurrection has broken out at Buenos Ayers in consequence of the alleged conduct of the late Presidential election. Gen. Mitre is at the head of the insurgents. A meeting of representatives of the lead ing through line railroads was held in New York yesterday, at which the Saratoga agreement in regard to dispatch and fafat freight lines was signed. The celebrated judgment of Judge Kanthior, that a priest could not be held responsible before tne civil courts for what he said from the pulpit, lias been reversed in the Court of Review, at Montreal. Prof. Donaldson, accompanied by members of the press, made a balloon ascension „ from Pittsburg Wednesday evening from the hippodrome grounds, Alleghany Giky. The party landed safely the same night, at Georgetown, Pa., tifty miles from the city. Advices from the north of Spain say that there are signs of breaking up of the Carlist army. Several insurgent leaders have surremiered and it is reported that others were shot by order of IVxi Carlos, for demanding a cessation of hostilities. The man who committed suicide by throwing himself under a train of cars near Columbus, O, Tuesday, has been identified as Charles Linn, at one time a resident of Lanifr caster, 0.. and for the past eight years a resi dent of the Western States. The deceased has been dissipated for-years. Upon information received by telegraph from Richmond, Va., Major Whitehead issued warrants Wednesday night for the arrenj. of Generals Williams, Muhone, ami Johnson T. Bradley, on the charge of intending to engage in a duel. General Mahone i was arrested at his hotel and bound over in $10,000 to keep the peace for one year. Gen. Johnson was not found. The steamers Daciaand Ambassador report that the direct cable parted and was lost in a heavy gale. They were engaged with the •Faraday several days in attempts to recover the cable but without success, and they were compelled to return to Queenstown because they were short of coal and provisions. The Faraday followed them and is expected to arrive at any moment. The anniversary of Mexican independence was celebrated on the 16th inst. at the City of Mexico with appropriate ceremonies anil festivity. The President’s message gives a most satisfactory account of the condition of the republic. It says that internal peace is becoming more firmly established every day. The Government will continue with energy its efforts to promote internal improvements A dispatch to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company from Hong Kong states that in the typhoon of the 21st of September, the steamship Alaska was blown asliore and is now on the rocks. Up to the present time she has made no water, and hopes are entertained that she may be got off. The vessel is valued at $500,000 and is insured. A later dispatch states that she was blown ashore at Abeerden n^ar Hong Kong while undergoing repairs, and would be got off at the next high tide. Governor Osborn, ot Kansas, has received dispatches from Captain Dayton, of Arkansas City, commanding the military, that 65 young Osages, of Big Hills band, crossed the Arkansas river, below the mouth of Salt Fork, on Friday, the ISth nit, and crossed the Fort SHI trail Sunday, the 27th, near Skeleton Creek, going west, probably bound for the country between Mule Creek and the supply road, to operate on Medicine Lodge settlements. It is believed an alliance is meditated between the Young Osages. Cheyennes and Comanche*, who are known to be in the south pan of Clark county.

The Republican Central Committee of Louisiana has ratified the conferenctagreement, which pledges that party to secure a fair election, or rather a fair counting of the votes by the Returning Board, providing the conservatives will guarantee peace and absolute cessation of violence. The conservatives are equally represented in the Board and if the election is conducted as is now promised, its results will be acceptable to all parties. Ge.v. Sherman’s daughter was married yesterday and the whole country will be agitated to its foundation on hearing that Gen. Sherman, who was in the center of the church, gave up his seat to the President, who coming in late had taken his place near the sanctuary rail. The danger of such contiguity could only be removed by prompt measures, but fortunately The General of The Army was equal to the occasion. Can the New York Herald tell what liearing this will have on the third term question. Ex-Governor Warmoth, who has been interviewed upon the third term question, is thoroughly convinced that the South will be a unit for it, and its vote added to that of New York, which he thinks Grant Ls sure of, would give him almost enough votes in the convention to begin with. No competitor could hope to unite the opposition and a portion of it would go to Grant rather than to any other candidate, thus making his nomination certain. Warmoth is a shrewd politician and has figured the case up very prettily, but as a considerable period must elapse befoVe his predictions can be verified, it is not worth while to fret “over them.

There are several things in the Baxtet law that can he amended, and no one pretends that it is the best law that can be devised. But its central principle, the Democratic doctrine that the majority shall rule, is a sound one. This gives the people of any locality the right to say whether liquor shall he sold among then* or not, and gives them the power to select the person who shall sell it. With a li cense law such as is favored by the leading men, the fee would be made a large one, and the business would he regulated only by money. In considering an application to sell liquor then the question would be, ("Is he able to pay the fee?” not, ‘‘Is he a fit person to take charge of this business"” If the business of celling liquor is such legit imate, respectable and necessary one as its advocates insist, poor men ought not to be debarred from going into it because they have not money enough to pay

heavy license fee.

Speaker Blaine has been to Oshkosh, doubtless to have a little fun with the boys. Bespoke at a fair. It is astonishing how agricultural these political gentlemen have become within a year or two.

Under the guise of conducting necessary improvements aud cleaning the streets, the ■city has a very large force of men under pay. How many it is impossible to say. Many of them appear to be strangers, and tins fact combined with the additional one that they are not hurting themselves by Working and are often put on streets where there is no work worth doing, gives strong color to the belief that they are here simply for the purpose of voting. It is possible that they are not, but the inducements for the Freedom and Righters to carry the election is so strong, that they are ready to go to any lengths. There was a great deal of fraud practised in the city election, and a great deal of money was spent in changing the majority in the Council. While it is probable the Democrats would have carried the city on a fair vote, there is little doubt that had such a vote been taken their majority would have been two or three less. They went into office under promises of reform, but no one has yet se£n the first evidence of any intention to carry out their promises. The very first step was for the police Board, of which Austin H. Brown was Chairman and leading spirit, to turn out the old force and create a new one of green men, some of them notoriously incompetent and untrustworthy, and whose only claim was that they had "done work for the party.” The consequence was that crime increased and it be came necessary for any one who wanted his property guarded to hire a watchman and pay out of his own pocket for the service to which his taxes ought to have been applied. Expenses have been increased in almost every direction, partisanship is fermenting in every department, and so far from the city government being improved it has become worse. The worse it becomes, the more it costs. The more we pay the less we get and the heavier become our hardens. The Democrats in the Council are using all their power to make a party success. They have created the police force with an eye to that, the same influence is pervading every department, they have subsidised a press, and now there is some reason to believe that the managers are crowd ing men into the city to prevent the fair expression of popular will and are making the people pay for it Their promised reforms have never been accomplished, and if they can secure control of the county we may confidently look for the same sort of conduct, the consequences of which are bad

has not mounted the pinnacle of fame through Congressional labor and we do ndt know that any paper, even in his own district where his influence in securing the appointment of postmasters may be great, has suggesti ed him a.- an available candidate for Presii dent. Nor does Sloss seem to have won honor upon the field of carnage in the late war. or even acquired the infamous notoriety of grabbing a salary. Yet Sloss is famous. Mrs. Sloss is also famous to a certain extent. She seems to be a worthy help-meet to her husband. She is evidently a woman of spirit, and Sloss is a man of spirit We admire both of them. They have qualities, both of the head and heart, which are deserving of admiration. Mr. and Mrs. Sloss have a daughter of marriageable age. The daughter inherits the intellect of her parents. Truth compels the admission that she is rather their superior in shrewdness and cunning, however deficient she may be in judgment. Will evidently predominates in her mental composition and her regard for the fifth commandment, which says, “Honor thy Father and Mother,” is apparently qualified by the young lady with the a<ldition “when it suits you to;” In strict candor it must be said that Miss Sloss was not a pattern of filial obedience, and

hereby hangs a tale.

When Mr. Sloss in June, after his arduous labors in Congress, returned to his home in Tuseumbia to manage the primaries, “fix” the boys ami make the proper and necessary arrangements for his renomination by an affectionate and admiring constituency, he was pained and shocked to hear that reports derogatory to the character of his daughter were in circulation, and had gained such credence as to exclude her from society. It required but a few days for the outraged father to trace them to their author, one - George F. Long, an unworthy scion of a good family. There being no law to reach the case Mr. Sloss, after due consideration doubtless, determined to avenge himself in the chivalrous style, and loading a doublebarrelled shot-gun he sallied forth in search of Long, and meeting him opportunely, emptied the contents of the shot-gun into his person. Mr. Ixmg was grievously wounded, but being, as will be seen, person not only of nerve, but with an uncommonly tough carcass, he refused to succumb, though the weather was hot and his condition despetate. Mr. Sloss having settled that little matter, went about his business, enjoying the smiles of an approving conscience and the enconiums of his fellow men. There was a slight legal interference, resulting in his being put under bonds, but his act was in the main considered justifiable, and he proceeded to prosecute his maneuvers for retention of office. Having no party to back him he ran as an indeuendent and started out a few days since to make a canvass of his district. He had scarcely departed from Tuseumbia before Miss Sloss’s intellect developed itself. This young lady, since the little affair, had been confined to tier bed-room by compulsion, but by strat agem she succeeded in getting out of the house and ha.-?!cued away. Her prolonged absence aroused the suspicions of Mrs. Sloss, # who, shouldering a revolver, with rare perception made her way to the office of the nearest Justice of the Peace, there to find her daughter subject to her no longer, but receiving the congratulations of a select audience upon her transformation into Mrs. Long' a transformation that had just been consummated. Then it was that Mrs. Sloss showed herself fittingly allied to both husband and child. She brandished her pistol in that temple of justice and demanded her daughter. She tried to shoot. She thirsted for blood, but force and the inexorable law disarmed her of all weapons but her . tongue, and failing to silence that ejected her into' the street. ‘‘The happy couple” went their ways, and then Tuseumbia came to the forced conclusion that Long’s defamation of Miss Sloss was intended to make her so odious that her parents would consent to her marriage with him. A nice kind of “love’s stratagem” was this, and a nice sort of. a couple they must be who would resort to it. Their married life will doubtless be compensatory to each, What Miss Sloss is may be judged from her actions; what he is the Memphis Avalanche tells as fol-

lows:

Mr. Long is a man of very good family, but was objectionable on account of his associations. It is only a few months ago that, in a fight, he had his face from eyebrow to chin laid open with a raxor. and at the*same time got a slash across the throat that came very near resulting in a funeral. Aigw years ago, while passing from one car Uv'andtber, he missed his footing and fell between the cars, caught on a brake, in which position he was dragged fully tnree-quarters of a mile ere he was rescued. Alt this, coiipbined with the thirteen buckshot, which his now father-in-law gave him, would go to show that Mr. Long ia a very tough young man. Tuseumbia, probably, will now agree that Mr. and Mrs. Sloes are to be congratulated. and the son-in-law, bound by chains of affection, will scarcely prosecute his father-in-law for his well-meaning resort to the arbitration of a shot gun. The only comment the discriminating reader can make under the circumstances is found in the deep and philosophic utterance of Mr. Weller, that "Rum creeture is wimen.”

While three daughters of Stephen Hayes of Lawrence, Massachusetts, were at play near a high embankment on Sunday, a mass of earth 25 feet wide and 36 feet high fell upon two of them, Margaret and Theresa, seven and three years old, and they were dead when dug out. Another of his daughters, Elisabeth, five years old, was rescued, while she was being fast covered with sand. At East 8t Louis, while Mr. Schroder was celebrating his forty-first birth-day*with a good deal of merry making, a cannon, which had been used all day at intervals burst as it was about to be discharged for the last time.

A farmer took his wife to a grand concert, and after listening with apparant enjoyment, the pair became suddenly interested in one of the grand choruses. “All we, like sheep have gone astray.” First a sharp soprano voice exclaimed: "All we like sheep Next a deep voice uttered, in the most earnest tone: “All we like sheep .” Then all the singers at once asserted: “All we like sheep .” “Well, I don,t,” exclaimed old Rusticus to his partner. “I like beef and bacon, but I can’t bear sheep meat!” There was an audible titter in that vicinity, but the splendid musiv attracted attention from the pair, and they quietly slipped out.— [Boston Journal.

A National Hay Fever Association has been formed to collect and compare notes on the malady and its cause. General Braxton Bragg is now the Chief Engineer of the Galveston and Santa Fe railroad, with headquarters at Galveston. The Brooklyn Heights Female Seminary opens with a falling off in attendance this year, for which the managers blame the great scandal. Minnesota, which twenty-five years ago could not raise any fruit at all on account of the severity of the winters, now raises more than she knows what to do with. Violetta Collville will make her reputation in her own country, instead of in Europe, just as Clara Louise Kellogg has done. She will begin with a series of operatic recitals. Mr. Bancroft is furnishing the Washington residence of ex-Senator Harlan, which he purchased recently, in elegant style. The furniture, pictures and statuary, all came from Europe. Col. Ruth Goshen, a native of Mexico, 6 feet 9 inches in bight and weighing 560 pounds, arrived at New York a few days ago by steamer from Calcutta. He is in the silk and satin business at San Francisco. Over the door of the jail in Alexandria, Va., are inscribed the words- "I believe in God, the Father, and in Jesus Christ, my Savior, and in the Holy Spirit, who comforts me and leads me in the way of truth.” Stone., the great bare-back rider, has retired from the public arena, but occasionally indulges in a little entertainment for himself and friends in a small circus that he has constructed on his farm near Patterson, New Jersey.

[The Order of Procession and Regalia to be worn the same as prescribed in the Book of Forms.] The coffin having been deposited in the grave, and such religious services performed as the friends of the deceased may have desired, the Noble Grand shall take position at the head of the grave, and the Chaplain on his right hand. Silently and uncovered, the brethren, joining hands with each other, shall form in one or more circles around the grave, as near as may be, holding the hat in the left hand, and the ceremony shall proceed as follows: NOBLE GRAND. Brethren of the Independent Order of Odd Fel-

lows:

We are assembled to perform the last office which the living can render the dead. Be attentive, therefore, to the instruction now to be un parted.

CHAPLAIN.

My Brethren—A solemn occasion brings us here to-day ; and as the coffin and the grave so forcibly speaks t# us of our latter end may we not ask with the Pslamist, “Lord, what is man, that Thou art mindful of him, and the son of man, that Thou visiteth him?” From the sacred Scriptures comes the response: “Man that is born of w-oman is of few days, and full of trouble. He oometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; he ileeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.” We bring our years to an end. as it were a tale that is told. The dust shall retu rn to the earth as it was, and the spirit shall return unto Grid, who gave it. In obedience to the divine will our brother has been removed from earth and its associations. But though he be dead, shall he not live again? Yea, verily; for is it not said in Holy Writ, “Though I shall walk through the valley and the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff shall comfort me. My flesh, also, shall rest in hope, for Thou will not leave my soul in the grave.” Thus, though we now deposit in the earth the mortal remains of onr beloved brother, we have an assurance of meeting again, at the coming of that day to which hope looks forward to ardent joy, when the tears and woes of this life shall be submerged in the healing tide that will flow from the eternal fountain of divine

peace and love.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, and though He cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. Take heed, then, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evik heart of unbelief in departing from the living God. Let the wicked forsake bis way, and the unrighteous man hi? thoughts, and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon Him. and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. In His presence is fullness of joy; at His right band are pleasures for evermore.

NOBLE GRAND.

[Casting a sprig of evergreen into the grave.] As Odd Fellows we deposit this evergreen in the grave of our deceased brother, as a token that while we bury his frailties with his body, his virtues shall dwell

greenly in our memories.

sung.]

PRAYER BY CHAPLAIN. Almighty and Eternal God, the Creator and Redeemer of all mankind, we pray Thee to impress us with a sense of the shortness and uncertainty of human life. In Thy hands alone are the issues of life and death, :**id we humbly beseech Thee to look upon us in mercy, while we weep with those that weep. Grant that we who survive may put our trust in Thee, and do those things which are pleasing in Thy sight. O, merciful God, we commend to Thy unfailing goodness those whom it hath pleased The«~to add to the number of the sorrowing Remember them in mercy, and sanctify Thy fatherly correction to them. Give them patience under their affliction and resignation to Thy will. Be thou their strength and shield, and relieve them according to tbeir needs. Bless our beloved order here and eveiywhere. May friendship and love abide with us, while thy spirit leads us in the way of truth. Maintain peace and prosperity within our borders: shield us from the shafts of enmity, and make us dwell in unity—faithful in principle and faithfnl in good works. And onto thy holy name be ascribed the honor and

glory forever. [benediction.]

[The grave having been filled np, or closed, the brethren shall silently reform in procession according to the order observed in coming to the place of interment, and shall return in such order to the lodge-room, where the N.

I suppose most all blamed fools know this, but Aunt Betsey says in ritin of a cbmposishnn I must be careful to git in all details, and I reckon all the legs must gp in too. Each dog has one tail, of different sizes, unless it has been cut qph by some malishus person for fun. The tail is on the end next to the hind legs. Butcher’s dogs don’t generally have but a short tail. I suppose this is for you not to tie tin pans to. If I had a dog I would not cut his tail oph, unless I was a butcher, an then I woodent keep any dog sept a hull purp, which I cood swap even for a small caff. I once bad a new founding dog that I traded a sled for, but he took mad and died before he bit ennybody, which gave me much grief. 1 used to go in swimming on Sundays when I had that dog, cause they will save folks from drowning, but now I am skeered to go.

One good house dog aiut no better than two ficests only in dangerous places like you read about Th« shepherd is the most accountablest dog with sheep, and I expeck Mary had one to take care of her little lamb. 1 bad rather have a dog than a lamb, or both, but girls aint got no sense. I know more about dogs than I let on, but Aunt Betsey says dont tell all you know at once. Johnny Pbkcosh. P. 8.—1 forgot to menshun the yaller dog, which is of a numerous speshoes, and full of fleas. He wears his tail between his hind legs an is always running away from somebody what uint pestering him. If I had to have a dog, an it was yaller, I would be like Mary an take a little lamb, though I must feel offul soft. A dog what is of that disgustin color acts like he had just stole something or was just a going to. There aint but one thing I don’t like as well as a dog what is yaller in spots or all over, and that is cats. I like to put on as much dog as any, but I don’t want it to be yaller dog, or cats. Ihats the kind of a jusarp I am. Ime not of a evil dispersishun an I aint akustomed to heckter dum brootes an pull the wings outen flies, but if I see a yaller tail lay in around luae Ime bound to tie something to it if I never git to be an angel as long as I live. Ide do it if it was the next thing I ever done. I once had a circumstanse in my life which alwais reminds me of something I aint forgot to this day. Dad sent me into the smoke-house I nite to git a piece of fat meat for his felon. I set the candle on a barrel an begun to slise oph a hunk of fat from side meat with a old butcher-knife. I was skeered, but I didn’t let on. I was a whislen Shoo Fly kindy easy like when all of a sudden the terribuflest thing happened. I aint skeered of ghoets, cause there aint no such thing; hilt this was wussern ghosts. A big yaller dog jumped down the hole in the roof, rite on to that candle, an put it out, and went on down into the sope barril. I heered it howl an seed its eyes aglarin an its hair astandin on both ends, an I squatted down on my back and acreemed. I knew it would eat me up if it found out where. I was, so I screemed more. I made up my mind if it got out of the barril and come at me, 1 would jab that batcher-knife into.it a duziin times. But I had diopped the butcher knife into the bar* ril when I first got reddy to squat down. So I had nothing but an old pistul which was up stairs in my other pants pocket an’ wuzzent loded. Just be4 the dog got out the nabors came over expecting that Ide killed a burglar. Dad bounced in and struck a match, an I pointed at the barril and dident say nothing. I was so mad. Dad lit another match an looked into the barril an put in bis hand an pulled out a great big canvis-backed ham, whic had broke off the nail an fell into the barril, instead of a dog. Then they all laffed, an when Ime aroond any more they say “A-heiu, a-harn,” like they was a koffin up something, but I know what they mean, the consarned fools. An that’s what makes me so onpleasant with yallsr dogs. J. P,
