Ben Hoi- adav now lives at Portland, Oregon not bo wealthy as in the days of , and not in such style as ne onco araoitionea 10 live m uesi Chester county, where in 18C8 ho boucht a domain of 1,000 acres of the best laud in the eastern part of the State and becan building thereon a residence which should rival those of the English nobility. Ho made over the whole estate to his wile, now diseased. Around the fertile acres of Ophir farm, as the estate is called, and is named on the iron bare of the entrance gate, ran a tall granite wall, capped with smooth cut stone. This wall was built Dy special contract, ana it cost $40 per rod. It encloses the entire farm, and within its circuit are ots of FARMHOUSES AND RURAL COTTAGES n which dwell many tenants of the estate. There are two entrances to Ophir farm. One is at the southeast and the other at the north, and each has a massive stone gatenouse and soiid gravel drive. Just east of the stone dwelling, in a grassey valley, near the turnpike, btands a small gothio edifice of granite, in which Mrs. Ilolladav. wno was a devout Catholic, rigorously performed the duties of her faith. On yesterday pale was begun on the premises, under executions to the amount ot 8220.000 on account of unpaid work on farm buildings and on the man sion. The dining-room ot tlie latter had been planned to seat at least 150 persons. Mr. Otis, Mr. Holiday's anent, strolling over the grounds pre vious to tho sale yesterday, gave the following account of Mr. Ilolladay's career : When Mr. Holladay bought Ophir farm he was IN TUB FULL TIDE OF HIS PROSPERITY. Ie was owner of the overland stage route, and was speculating in neei on the plains that brought him thou sands and thousands ot dollars. His mail pay from the Goyernment on the overland route amounted to about $150,000 per year, and from his stages he derived about tl,500 a dav. Ho ulso owned a steamship ino from San Francisco to rortland, Oregon ; a line from California to the Sandwich islands, and a line to Aus tralia. At this timo it was estima ted he was worth about $10,000,000. Soon he sold out all his steamship ines and invested his money in the California and Oregon Railroad. This investment failed, and thereafter Mr. Holladay steadily lost money. lis immenso real estate fell in valuo, and MILLIONS WERE LOST Almost as quickly as they had been acauired. lie sold his overland mail route to Weils, u argo cs uo.,in touo, for $850,000. . Foi the estate m Westchester county, with expenses of buildings and adornment, he paid acout $850,000. Tho chateau cost about $174,000. His first wilo is buried, with several sons and a daughter, under the marble slabs of the tomb in the cnapcl. lne aaugu ter died, it will be remembered, in a railroad car near Chicago, when on her wav cast from' San Francisco. She waa the wife of Count de Pour tales, now of tbe 1 rench embassy at Washington. , Not very long after her death he married in Paris the notorious Mrs. Beecher. This daugh ter of old Ben's, like one still living, married for titles, lhey were tnier ably good looking, showy, and their breedin'T was oi inai Kina wuiun, backed by plenty of money, was a few shades removed lrom vulgarity. AT TUB ACCTIOW BALE On yesteiday about twenty colts, horses and mules, ana a large quanti ty ot household furniture were sold. The total sale amounted to about $3,000. Only the most common arti cles were bidden away. Tho lions and buffaloes, images of which fillad tbe parks, were unsold. The mules, horses, calves, sheep and farming im plements were bidden off at high prices. Ophir farm is still for sale, and several offers have been made. The Catholics desire the chateau for a convent oi the Sacred Heart, and they wish for one hundred acres on the front park. They have offered $3,000 for the chateau and ono hun dred acres, but as most of the acres they seek rest Mr. Holladay $1,000 each, Mr. Uus retuses to sell, tarn has cast his lot with a blooming young wife in Oregon. Ben, Jr., lives in San Francisco, and tbe only surviv ing daughter of B-o is consoling her aristocratic soul somewhere Deneatn the neglect of a titled nincompoop. General D. 11. IMI. the celebrated ex Confederate, bas written a letter asking for Ike removal of his political disabilities. He cites bis services for bis country ia tbe Army, euverinc twelve yean, and calls at leolioa to the fact of hit promotion for bravery at the Battle of Monterey. Demoeratlo National Convention. From th. St. Louis (Mo.) Republican, May SJth. The resident committee of the Democratio National Convention met Wednesday night at the Soutnern Hotel, ex-Mayor Brown in the chair. Colenel Armstrong stated that rooms for the use of the committee had been secured at tho Merchant's Exchange and would be ready in a few days for occupancy. .Messrs. speck, iuollett. rapin, Mel- lier and Tr.ornton, oi the Fiuance Committee were present and report ed that tlm were getting aloLg well iil'thtir efforts to raise the necessary funds to entertain liie Convention. Republicans a well as Democrats were working bard and contributing liberally. A check tor $100 had that day been received from Hon. Erastus Wells. In answer to a question by Judge Speck, Mr. Pnest staled that it would take at least $o,UUU to nx up the hall for the Convention and put it in tie proper shape afterwards, lhe other expenses would be in entertain ing the delegates, There would be carriages to pay for; perhaps an ex sursion on the river would be golton up; a visit to Shaw's garden and other places of note and interest in the city, eto. In Baltimore the citi zens raised mu.uuu ana it went so fast no one could toll where jt all went to. It was suggested that arch es be put up at each corner of the Lxchange, and to request the busi ness men of Fourth and Fifth streets to dbplay flags, bunting, etc, and to ulumioate in tha evening. The committee having in charge the arrangement and decoration of the hall was instructed to report the oost of an excursion on the river, and any other modes of entertaining tho Convention that might suggest them selves, at the next regular meeting. Ono thing is certain, the Commit tee is : determined that everything shall be done in first-class style. The Finance Committee ot the Na tional Democratio Convention mot again Saturdty morning at the office otS. V.Papia A Bro., 318 Chesnut street, their new room in the Ex change building not being quite ready yet. Judge Speck presided. Mr. Clement, from the Committee on Hotels, Saloons, Restaurants, etc., reported that his committee was meet ing with success everywhere, and would not be behind any other in the amount ot money raised. . Nearly all ot the largest subscrip tions have now been made ana ine sub committees find that the heavy part of the task has commenced. A good deal of soliciting yet remains to be done, and they are anxious to nave merchants and business men generally ready to receive them when they call. The ball committee was instructed to procure banners and also badges for tho delegates, members oi mo press and those entitled to seats iu the floor of the hall. They were also instruct ed to secure, if possible, the preverv lion of the passing ot vehicles near the I It 1 . . 1 . '. C .

The following was recently issued bv tho President of the United States : Whereas a joint resolution of the Senate and House ot lu-preseutaiives of the United States was duly ap nroved on the 13th day ot March last, which resolution is as follows : Be it resolved by the fcenate ana ... r- House ot Representatives of the Uui ted Slates ot America in Congress as semblcd, that it be and is hereby recommended by the senate and House of Representatives to the peo plu of the several States, that they assemble in their several counties or towns on the approachinir centcn nial anniversary ot our national inae nendence. and that they cause to have delivered on such day an his torical sketch of such county or town from its formation, and that a copy of said sketch bu filed in print or manuscriDt in the Clerk's Office of said county and an additional copy in print or manuscript be filed in the office of the Librarian of Congress, to the intent that a complete record may be thus obtained of the progress Af our institutions durinz the first centennial of their existence : and Whereas it is deemed proper that such recommendations be brought to the notice and knowledge of tbe peo Die of the Uniled States, now, there fnre. I. Ulv.sea S. Grant. President of the United StaU-t, do hereby declare and make known the sarao io th hote that the object ot such resolu lion may meet the approval of the people ot the United States, and that proper stp may be taken to carry the tame into effect.

Grant. -Hamilton- Fish, Secretary ot State. The Age of Pre.ldentlal Candidate.. Albany Corr. of th. Spring-field Republican, Governor Tilden is not au old man, as age is reckoned now among Amer ican statesman, having beeii born three years later than Sumner, two years later than Henry Wilson aud eight years after Charles Francs Adams. He is four years younger than Governor Seymour, aud is just of the ago that Seward was in lbGJ, when the responsibilities of the war were at their heaviest upou his shoul ders. When Webster made his last great throw for the Presidency, in 1852, he was seventy years old, and when Clay came so uear au election, in 1814, he was sixty seven. John Quincy Adams was but a year younger than Governor Tilden when he ran unsuccessfully against Jackson in 1828. It may be said that these wore all defeated candidates, and that tho meu who succeeded thcin were younger, as Brislow and Blaine and Cotikluig now are. But Wash ington elected was sixty when bo was re in 1792, Madison sixty one when re elected in 1812, Monroe six ty two when re elected in 1820, and Jackson sixty-one when first elected in 1828. Governor Tildeu may be said, then, to have just about reached the Presidential age, though he gives aa impression ot more years thau he actually carries. His manner is not that of a young or very brisk man, and is the very reverse of Sonator Conklms's. He would remind Spring- Geld somewhat ot the late George Bliss iu his figure and bearing, though not resembling him at all in feature, Tho modest and quiet man ner of Mr. Bliss is reproduced iu Governor Tilden, who conceals under it much vigor aud resolution, as his opponuuts nave had reason to discov er. . A Change Inquired. The Hon. F. -W. Bird, of Massa chusetts, has written a long letter defining his political attitude He sees no hope tor a third party, no hope of reform within the Republican larty. and thinks tho only way to se cure a belter condition of public af fairs is to co-operate with tho Demo cratic party. "It is my profound conviction," he says, "that the worst Democrat whose nomination at ot Louis is possible is safer for tho coun try than the best Republican whose nomination is possible at Cincinnati. The imperative the solemn need of the country is a change of the Na tional Administration. In tho dark and troubled nicrlit that is upon us I see but one star ot hope the united Democratio party of the Uuited States. Confidence, I am aware, is a plant of slow crowth. Distrust of the Democratio party is; I doubt not, honestly entertuincd by the best por tion ot, the Republican party, and dishonestly proclaimed as their most effective partisan cry by tho worst. 1 do not partake of the views of the one class ; I utterly despise the ny poensy of the other. 1 have a pre vailing coiiudence that sixteen years of purgation and punishment have had their eilect in purifying tho Dora ocralio party in perhaps as great de gree as sixteen years of power have corrupted and debased tho Kcpuuii can party. 1 want to voto lor a can didate who bas not only shown the courage to fight the thieves of his own party, but who will not be elect ed and surrounded by the gang of thieves and their apologists." Peopli who Advkrtisk. The Bos- tou Post says; People who adver tise are smarter than those who don't, belter looking, too, nine to ten. Ibis is natural if not logical Advertising is an indication of intelligence and looks. At all events the world be lieves in thosa who advertise, and it plants its dollars in their pockets. Such are lite people and in these days nobody wants anything to do with any but your live men and wo men. Our advice to everybody ex in matrimony is to adveitise. It is sure to return largely, increase your reputation at a business man, make hosts of friends, and add to the num ber of shrewd and seusible people in the world, of which there bas never yet been an overstock. A proposition lately laid before the Baltimore Conference shows that re markable changes, of such nature that they would have been thought impos sible 6U or even zo years ago, are like 1 v to occur in Methodist polity, spring inz from the idea of progress and thoughtful liberality. The proposi tion was to reorganize the Churb Conferences into two representative bodies, one clerical and the other lay, acting on each other as mutual checks, and both being under re straint by the Bishops. They are discussing in this Conference, too, tbe propriety of increasing the period of appointments to 10 or 12 years,- r and even setting do restriction what ever upon 'who time. It has been one of the most noticeable characteristics of Methodism that Its preachers were changed from station to station year ly. Latterly tbe maximum of time during which a minister might re', main in one pastorate bas been fixed , at four years. The present cfelibera- ' tion over extending the limit to 10 or ' ' 12 years, or life even, shows the ten-! 1 dency to do away entirely with that ! feature of the organization. ,, Aa Ka.y Way of Belofc trittrJ ' Oriental travellers say that a Chf-. , nesa gentleman thinks it beneath bis ; dignity to manufacture bis own witti' ,' cisms. He appreciates wit, and is fond of tea, but he would as soon ' grow his own tea as make bis owd ' jokoi. When he goes into society ha t carries in his pocket a package oi , prepared witticisms and repartees, which he has purchased at the near-' '' est joke shop. When conversation i. flags, and he perceives an opportunity ; lor saying something brilliant, he " draws a himorous remark from the top of his package, and gravely bands, it to his neighbor. The latter aft gravely reads it, and seleoting front i1 ins bundle ot repartees the one which ,! is appropriate, returns it, with a bow, to the origiual joker. The two then , solemnly smile in a courteous and de-' . , monsirattve way, and resume their 1 conversation, feeling that they bav'1 acquitted themselves with. eonsplcu ; ous brilliancy. , , ' ; , , . , t Nym Crinkle describes, in the World, an unusually accomplished1 man whom he has discovered livings' in a rough part of Colorado. This in' , . dividual is an Englishman who set- . tied there out of choice. He "can'.' throw a lariat nnd discuss Carlyle with equal skill, and can decipher the glacial marks on his own bowl-1 J ders and ride a refractory burro with ' r equal skill." This convinces Crinkle that "tho Daniel lioone business baa not died out" Twenty miles from ;! Colorado Springs he found an English . : (Jasile reproduced in logs, ana oocu- pied by an educated EngliBb family . of cattle herders. In the same re 5 ions he mot a fellow in a white cor uroy suit, looking at first glance : like a dandy and having a hang-dog; air. ''You see" was the fellow's ex- planation of his shamcfacedness, "I was all right till 1 got to Uanon City, and I had these duds washed, and ' they come out white.; I 'xpeot I look like a darned horse thief any-..' how 1" Being clean unwittingly and unexpectly, he was unhappy. What tb New Testament BevlMrw ;' are Doing, , , The last number of the Church. . ' man announces that the New Testa' l mrut revision committeo have struck' -; out as spurious the last soven verses '. of the last chapter of St. Mark.' These are the verses on which the "Peculiar People" formed their creed, and are as follows : . ' ! "14. Afterward lie appeared unto ' the eleven as they sat at meat, and ,' upbraided thorn with their unbelief , , and hardness of heart because they believed not them which had seen . Him after He was; risen. 15. And He said, Go ye into -the world and a (reach tho Gospel to eyery creature. t 6. He that believes and is baptised1'' shall be saved ; but he that belie veth ' ' not shall be damned. 17. And these ') signs shall follow them that believe: An My name shall they cast out devils ; they shall speak with iiew tongues. 1 18 They shall take up serpents; and ' ' if tbey drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall lay ! bands oa tbe sick and they shall re- ; covci. 19. So, then after the Lord had spoken nnto them He wasrecciv ' ed op into heaven, and sat on then : right hand of God. 20. And they' went forth and preached everywhere, . the Lord working with tbein, and confirming the Word with signs fol lowing." " ' .'" It is also stated that the commit teo struck out, as being a false inter- ' polation, a verse in one of tbe Epia- , i ties, which is frequently quoted as a ' r proof of the existence of the Trinity, . The verse alluded to is supposed to ' be the seventh Terse of the fifth ' ; chapter ot the first Epistle general - of Su John, viz: "ior there are- three that bear record in heaven the ' Father, the Word and tbe Holy Ghost, and these three are one.H Ot the four Ohio democratio dele gates at large to &L Louis, threo have a national reputation.
