They W 111 He Kept at the Helm.
A few days over one year ago, at a
State Convention lield at Springfield,
ill., Lyman Trumbull was one of the
leading spirits, taking an active part
in forming the resolutions which were
adopted on that occasion, by offering
one, drawn up by his own hand, af
firming that the Republican party
was tnpial to tlie correction of all
existing abuses." After the adoption
of the resolutions, Trumbull made a
speech the closing paragraph of which
contained the following truthful pic
ture :
'The ship of state, ten years ago. was
crippled it had been running on the
quicksand and rock, and was falling
to pieces. The Republican parly took
possession ot her. They have been
s;iiling her for the last ten years, not
only over the boisterous ways rf polit
ical commotion, but through the ter
rific tornadoes of civil war. and they
have brought the noble old ship upon a
peaceful ocean, strengthened mail her
part, magnificent hi all her propor
tions ; and there she now rides in peace
and prosperity ; and there is outside
the Democratic party, beating around
among the seas, driven for ten year
hither and thither by every wind of
passion, taking a new departure, and
seeking to find tile old ship. If you
think that they can man her better,
and sail her more safely, put them in
possession of her; but it you think
men who saved her are the best to
steer her safely hereafter, into the
haven of peace and prosperity for the
American people, then keep them at
the helm. Applause.
Since Trumbull made the above
statement and appeal, he has turned
against the party that guided the "no
ble old ship upon a peaceful ocean."
and to whom lie owe hi present ex
alted official position ; but his ingrati
tude and betrayal will not influence
the party to put any in custody of the
ship of state, stive "the men who
saved her" Grant and the Republi
can party.
POLITICAL.
The Democratic papers of Tennessee i
are still railing at Andrew Johnson '
for hanging Mrs. Surra tt.
Speaking of a Greeley and Brown
rally" in Minnesota, The St. Paul j
l'rr-x says the people of that region
don't "enthuse" very extensively over i
the Chappaqna Philosoplier. Great i
effort- were made to get out a crowd
to the meeting, but only 125, by actu
al count, entered the hall, 'The Gree
ley wave is a dead son water through
out the entire district. A large num
ber of prominent Democrats have, de
clared themselves; for Orailt.
In the State ot Georgia there are sev
enteen Democratic papers opposing
Greeley. There is not a Republican
pajier giving mm support.
'The Chicago Ma' boasts that I). !
Grata Brown opened the campaign
"with the largest and most euthusia

a speech. They have carefully perm- i

Judge Stallo of Cincinnati, says of;
Greeley's logic : "He has a form of
syllogistic reasoning entirely his own. I
his syllogism consisting of a broad as-,
sertinn of the thing to le proved as the j
major premise, a ringing imprecation
as the minor, an ' a liold charge of ve
nality or Idiocy against his .antagonist
as the conclusion."
Robert Toombs calls the KuKlux 1

rmyn Without Might.
Dr. Bairil. in liU lecture at the con
ference room, gave some interesting
facts. There is nothing that strikes a
stranger more forcibly, if he visits
Sweden, at theseasou of the year when
the (lavs are longest, than the absence
of night. Dr. Baird had noconceptioti
of it before his arrival. He arrived at
Stockholm, from Gotteiibiirg, 400 miles
distant, in the morning, and in the
afternoon went to sec some friends
had not taken notes of time and re
turned about midnight: it was as light
as it is here half an hour before sun
down. You could see distinctly.
But all was quiet in the streets; it
seemed as if the inhabitants were gone
away, or were dead. No signs ot life
stores closed.
'The sun in June goes down tit Stock
holm a little before Ten o'clock. 'There
is a great Illumination all night, as tlie
sun passes round the earth toward the
north pole, and the refraction of its
rays is such that you can see to read
at midnight. Dr. Baird read a letter
in the forest, near Stockholm, at mid
night, without artificial light. There
is a mountain at the head of the Both
nia, where, on the -1st of June the
sun does not go down at till. 'Travel
ers go there to see it. A steamboat
goes up from Stockholm for the pur-)ki-c
of earn ing those who are curious
to witness tlie phenomenon. It only
occurs one night. 'The sun goes down
to the horizon, you can see the whole
lace of it, and in five minutes it begins
to rise.
At the North Cape. Int. 72 degrees,
the -un does not go down for several
weeks. In .bine it would lie about 25
degrees above the horizon at midnight.
The way tlie people there Know it Is
midnight, they See the sun rise. The
change- in these high latitudes, lroin
summer to winter, aie so great that
we can have no conception of them at
all. in the winter time, the sun dis
appears and is not seen for weeks.
Then it comes and shows its face. Af
terwards, it remains for ten, fifteen,
or twenty minutes, and then descends,
and filially it does not 86' at all. but
makes almost a circle around the
heavens. Dr Baird was asked how
they managed in regard to hired per
sons, and what they consider a day.
He could not say. but supposed they
worked by the hour, and t welve hours
would be considered a day's work.
Birds and animals take their accus
tomed rest at usual hours. The doctor
did not know how they learnt the
time, but they had, and go to rest
whether the sun goes down or not.
The hens take to the trees about 7 P.
M. and stay there until the sun is well
up in the morning; and the people
get into this habit of late rising, too.
The first morning Dr. Baird awoke in
Stockholm he was surprised to ;-ee
the sun shining into his room. He
looked at his watch, and found it was
only three o'clock, the next time he
jiwoke. it was five o'clock ; but there
were no persons in the street. 'The
Swedes in the cities are not very In
dustrious, owing, probably, to the climate.
A Queer Community.
A correspondent has discovered a
community numbering at present
about seven thousand souls, which has
flourished for many centuries, t ough
no woman has ever been permitted or
known to set foot in the country. Few
of the iiihabita u U, he says, have any
definite idea and sensations ordinarily
associated with tip words mother, sis
ter, wite and sweetheart are to them
unknown, and. what is equally singu
lar, crime is also unknown, or nearly
so, while oil every side are lo be seen
evidences of temperance, piety and
good Order, The home of this eccen
tric but happy people is on the cast
ermost of the three peninsulas which
project from the north coast of the
Greek Arelilpelage. It was anciently
mllisl Acte, now Monte Sancto, and is
about forty miles in length and from
two to nine miles across, ft termin
ates in Mt. Athoos. a conical mass of
limestone rising abruptly to a height
of six thousand five hundred teet
Between this bold headland and the
coast is a licantiful plat.au. clothed
throughout with woodland, which is
gay with flowers, rich with odors,
merry with songs of birds, and can
opied by the brightest of all blue
skies. The cultivated fields are all
diversified with groves of oak and
uhesuut, while olive and fig-trees are
there indigenous. To this secret para
dise the sons, but not the daughters,
of Eye are admitted, and such has
been the custom as far hack as History
reaches, the peninsula lieing religion -ly
guarded at all Kiuts against the
approach of woman, no matter how
saintly she might he. 'The inmates
natives ot every part of the Turkish
empire where the Greek language is
spoken and are consigned to tlie socie
ties cither in infancy or in early life
by their fanatical parents. The first
years are spent in tilling the laud,
tending tlie vines, helping in the house
work or engaging in some liaudlcraft.
For three year,-, the candidate is a pro
iBitioner ; then, if lie has proved him

nine days in tlie year they have one

extends to the sex universally. From
j time Immemorial no cow. mare, goose,
j duck, hen, or female ot any kind has
ever been permitted to make acquaint

! In selecting meat for the table the
j greatest care is taken to have it of the
male variety and a body of soldiers is
' employed by the societies to keep the

! by the tread of any female whatever.
! Yet. in spite of all these stringent reg
I illations, the birds continue to unite,
j and feminine Ilea and mosqiiltoe to
1 rear their young, to the everlasting
I scandal of all the pious old bachelors

j convents some good libraries, coutaiu-
; ing about fifty thousand volumes in
1 all, and manuscripts seven hundred
! years old are by no means uncommon.
Altogether these venerable male nuns
I have a jolly time of it.
Really IIahu Times. One of our
i subscribers, living at Dix, Illinois,
says that he has heard and read a
great deal about hard time- in these
days, but avers that they do not com
pare with the times ot twenty-five
I years ago. He gives the follow ing in
cident as proof of his assertion :
"In Jeftttrsoil comity, in this State.
, Mr. Coly Babcock, in 18-15, w ishing
j to purchase two pair of shoes, went to
his country store, and found that
tlie keeper had the shoes that he de
j sired; one pair at SRlcenK the other
' at 75 cents. ThU was considered an
exorbitant price, w hich he declined to
pay, but would go to St. Loni-, the
head market.; This was distant SO
miles from bis residence, but heshoul
licred Ills rille, put some "eorn dodg
er" and silt in his shot-bag. .and start-
! ed on foot, killing bird- for meat, and
lying at night by camp tires of niitr
i keters, which were plenty at that time.
Arriving at the Mississippi at tlltiiolsu
town, now Fast St. I.ouis. he found
that it would cost him live cent- to
cross the river. He was mortified to
, find that he would 'hen he obliged to
' break in upon his shoe money, but
, succumbed at last, went over to the
S city and made his purchase of two
! pair of shoes at a cost of 40 and liU
cents. On returning home, he found
he had cleared 60 cent-, less the. fer
riage, by his trip.
; Walking eighty miles to stive this
amount may look absurd, but dollars
! were scarce, markets distant, the laud
! covered with forests, labor without de
: maud, and pork worth one dollar and
, fifty cents per hundred pounds."
Prafrie Ftrrf'.
Wuri.n Nor Tell a Lie. Two
i boys were in a school-room together
when some tirewoiks, contrary to the
masters prohibition, exploded. 'The one
boy denied it; the other, liounie Chris
tie, would neither admit or deny it.
and was severely Hogged for his obsti
nacy. When the boys got alone again ;
Why didn't you deny it:-" asked
j the real delinquent.
I "Because there were only we two,
and one of us must have lied," said
Bonnie.
"i'iieti why not say that I did it!-"
"Because you said yon didn't, and I
i would share the lie."
I Thcboy's heart melted: Bonnie's
moral gallantry subdued him.
When school resumed, the young
i rogue inarched up to the master sdesk
ami said :
"Please, sir. I can't bear to be a liar
; I let oil the squibs," and burst into
j tears.
j The master's eye glistened on the
self-accuser, and the unmerited pun-
Ishinelit lie had indicted on bis school
j mate smote his conscience. Before
j the whole school, hand in hand with
the culprit, as if they two were paired
I into the confession, the master walked
down to where young Christie sat, and
said aloud, with some emotion :
"Bonnie, Bonnie, lad. he and I beg
your pardon We are both to blame.'"
I ' The school was hushed and still, a-
older schools are apt to be when some
thing true and noble is being done so
tili they might have heard Bonnie's
big-boy tears drop proudly on his
book, as he sat enjoying the moral tri
umph which subdued himself as well
as all the rest, and then for want of
something else to say. he gently cried,
"Master forever.'"
The glorious shout of the scholars
filled the old man's eyes with some
thing behind his spectacles, which
made him wipe them before he resinn
ed the chair.
'They are again iigitating the dis
tillation of spirits from the garbage
of cities. Alcohol, it is well known,
can be distilled from anything that fer
ments, no matter whether the ferment
ing matter be a loaf of bread ora reek
ing garbage vessel. In this new pro
cess the garbage is gathered from the
houses of citizens, dumped into water
tight vats, boiled far several hours, the
grease is carefully skimmed oil' for
soap making purposes, and the pulpy
mass fermented and distilled. 'The
philosophical and chemical mind may
know that whisky distilled from gar
bage is as pure and cleanly as that
winch comes from corn but for a
steady beverage the ordinary drunk
ard will doubtless prefer sound Bour
bon or Old Rye. A'. Y. Sm,
