Besides the mirth-provoking drollery
of the following sketch, Mark Twain
has given us an apt illustration of how
two men speaking the same language
may, by the use of slang on the one
side and a display of learning on the
other, be as unintelligible as though
one spoke Choctaw and the other Chi
nese:
1 here was a great time over Buck
Fanshaw when he died. He was a
representative citizen. He had “kill
ed his man”—not in his own quarrel,
it is true, but in the defense of a
stranger beset by numbers. He had
kept a sumptuous saloon. He had
been the proprietor of a dashing help
meet, whom he could have discarded
without the formality of a divorce,
fie had held a high position in the fire
department, and had been a very War
wick in politics. When he died there
was a great lamentation throughout
the town, Ijut especially in the vast
bottom stratum of society. On the
inquest it was shown that Buck Fan-
shaw, in the delirium of a wasting
typhoid fever, had taken arsenic, shot
himself through the body, cut his
throat, and jumped out of a four sto
ry window and broken his neck ; and,
after due deliberation, the jury, sad
and tearful, hut with intelligence un
blinded by its sorrow, brought in a
verdict of death “ by the visitation of
God.” What could the world do
without juries?
Prodigious preparations were made
for the funeral. All the vehicles in
the town were hired, all the saloons
were putin mourning, all the munici
pal and fire company flags were hung
at half-mast, and all the firemen or
dered to muster in uniform, and bring
their machines duly draped in black.
Regretful resolutions were passed
and vaiious committees appoint* d,
among others, a committee of one ap
pointed to call on a minister—a fragi e,
gentle, spiritual new fledgling from an
eastern theological seminary, and as
yet unacquainted with the ways of the
mines. The committeeman, “Scot
ty” Briggs, made his visit.
Being admitted to his presence, he
sat down before the clergyman, placed
his fire hat on an unfinished manuscript
sermon under the minister’s nose, took
from it a red silk handkerchief, wiped
his brow, and heaved a sigh of dismal j ^
impressiveness explanatory of his busi
ness. He choked and even shed tears,
but with an effort he mastered his
voice and said in lugubrious tones:
Are you the duck that runs the
gospel-mill next door?”
“I am the—parilou me, I believe I
do not understand.”
With another sigh and a half sob
“ Scotty” rejoined :
Why, you see, we are in a bit of
trouble, and the boys thought may be
be getting tangled
you see he’s dead
has he ever been
maybe you might
once more. Yes,
again—”
“Again! Why,
dead before?”
“ Dead before? No. Do you under
stand a man has got as many lives as
a cat? But you bet he’s awful dead
now, poor old boy, and I wish I’d
never seen this day. I don’t know no
better friend than Buck Fanshaw. I
know’d biui by the back ; and when I
know a man like him—you hear me.
Take him all around, pard, and there
never was a bullier man in the mines.
No man ever knowd Buck Fanshaw
go back on a friend. But it’s all up.
It ain’t no use. They’ve scooped him !”
“ Scooped him ?”
“ Yes—death has. Well, well,
well, we’ve got'to give him up. Yes,
indeed. It’s a kind of hard world, af
ter all, ain’t it? But, pard, he was a
rustler. You ought to see him get
started once. He was a bully boy
with a glass eye? Just spit in his face
and give him room according to his
strength, and it was just beautiful to
see him peel and go in. He was the
worst son of a thief that ever drew
breath. Pard, he was on it. He was
on it bigger than au Injun !”
“ On it ? On what ?”
“On the shoot. On the shoulder.
On the fight. Understand? He didu’t
give a continental—for anybody. Beg
your pardon, friend, for coming so
near saying a cuss word—but you see
I’m on an awful strain in this palaver,
on account of having to cram down
and draw everything so mild. But
we’ve got to give him up. There ain’t
any getting around that, I dou’t reck
on. Now if we can’t get you to help
plant him—”
“ Preach the funeral discourse ? As
sist at the obsequies ?”
“ Obs’quies is good. Yes. That’s
it; that’s our little game. We are
going to get up the thing regardless,
you know. He was always nifty hiin-
ty himself, and so you bet his funeral
ain’t goin’ to be no slouch; solid sil
ver doorplate on his coffin, six plumes
on the hearse, and a nigger on the box
with a biled shirt and a plug hat—
how’s that for high? And we’ll take
care of you, pard. We’ll fix you all
right. There will be a kerridge for
you; and whateveryou want you just
scape out and we’ll tend to it. We’ve
got a shebang fixed up for you to stand
behind in No. l’s house, and don’t
sell a clam. Put Buck through as
bully as you can, pard, for anybody
that know’d him will tell you that he
wue ono rtf thp whitest men flint woo
ever in the mines. You can’t draw it
too strong. He never could stand it
to see things going wrong. He’s done
more to make this town peaceable
than any man in it. I’ve seen him
lick four Greasers in eleven minutes
“ That’s what I say ; but some peo
ple does.”
“ Not people of any repute.”
Well, some that average pretty so-
so.”
“ In my opinion a man who would
offer personal violence to his mother
ought to—”
“ Cheese it, pard ; you’ve booked
your ball clean out of the string. What
I was a drivin’ at was that he never
throwed off on his mother—don’t you
see? No, indeedy. He give her a
house to live in, and town lots, and
plenty of money; and he looked after
her and took care of her al! the time ;
and when she was down with the small
pox he set up nights and nussed her
himself. I think you’re white. I
think you’re a square man, pard. I
like you, and I’ll lick any man that
don’t. I’ll lick him till he can’t tell
himself from a last k year’s corpse ! Put
it there!” [Another fraternal hand
shake—and exit.]
The obsequies were all. that “the
boys” could desire. Such a marvel of
funeral pomp had never been seen in
Virginia City. The plumed hearse,
the dirge-breathing brass bands, the
closed marts of business, the flags droop
ing at half-mast, the long, plodding
procession of uniformed secret socie
ties, military battalions, fire compan
ies, draped engines, carriages of offi
cials, and citizens in vehicles and on
foot, attracted multitudes of specta
tors tQ the sidewalks, roofs and win
dows ; and for years afterward the de
gree of grandeur attained by any civic
display in Virginia City was determin
ed by comparison with Buck Fan
shaw’s funeral.

Remarkable Facts.—Everything
in nature indulges in amusement of
some kind. The lightnings play, the
winds whistle, the thunders roll, the
snow flies, the rills and cascades sing
and dance, the waves leap, the fields
smile, the vines creep and run, and
the buds shoot. But some of them
have their seasons of melancholy. 1 he
tempests moan, the zephyrs sigh, the
brooks murmur, and the mountains
look blue.

Another pause, and more reflection.
Then Scotty said :
“ I’ll have to pass, judge.”
“ How ?” ^
“ You’ve raised me out, para.”
I still fail to catch your meaning.”
“ Why, the last lead of youro is too
many for me—that’s the idea. ^ I cau t

The clergymau sank back in his

head, on bis hand, and gave himself up
to reflection. Presently his face came
up, sorrowful, but confident. ^

“Now we’re all right, pard. Lets
start fresh. Don’t you mind me snuf
fling a little, becuz we’re in a power
of trouble. You see one of the boys
has gone up the flume ”
“ Gone wheie?”
“Up the flume—throw’d up the
sponge, you know.”
“Thrown up the sponge?”
n Yes—kicked the bucket—”
“Ah! has departed to that mysteri
ous country from whose bourne no
traveler returns.”
“Return? Well, I reckon not.—
Why, pard, lie’s dead.”
“ Yes, I understand.”
“Ob, you do? Well, I thought
nderstaud you to say ?”
Why you’re most too many for
me, you know. When you get in

“How? Begin again?”
“ That’s it.”
“ Very well. Was he a good man—”
“There—see that! don’t put up
another chip till 1 look at my hamJ.
‘A good man’ says you ? Parti, it ain’t
no name for it. He was the best man
that ever—pard, you would have doted
on that man. He could lam any gal-
loot of tiis inches in Aineiiea. It was
him that put down the riot last elec
tion before it got a start; and every
body said that be was the only man
that could have done it. He waltzed
in with a trumpet in one hand and a
spanner in the other, sent fourteen
men home ou a shutter in less than
three minutes. He had the riot al!
broke up before anybody got a chance
to strike a blow. He was always for
peace, and he would have peace—he
could not stand disturbances. Pard,
he is a great loss to this town. It
would please the boys if you could
chip in something like that and do him
justice. He once when the Micks got
to throwing stones through the Meth
ods’ Sunday School windows, Buck
Fanshaw, al! of his own notion, shut
up his saloon and took a couple ot
six-shooters and mounted guard over
the Sunday School. Says he, “No
Irish need apply !” and they didn’t.
He was the bulliest man ia the oioua
tains, pard—he could ruu faster, jump
higher, swear harder, and hold more
taugle-foot whiskey than any man iu
seventeen counties. Put that in, pard;
it’ll please the boys more than any
thing else that you could say. And
you can say, pard, that he never shook
his mother.”
“Never shook his mother?”
“ That’s it—auy of the boys will
tell you so.”
Love in a Snowdrift.—The Kansas
City Times recounts the termination
of a romantic young lady’s travels. A
young and pretty girl, named Miss Ala
meda Cosgrove, residing at San Diego,
last summer responded to an adver
tisement in the Waverly Magazine for
a correspondence, with a view to en
joy fun and amusement, and perhaps
matrimony. The correspondence en
sued between Jerome Markham and
Miss Cosgrove. Photographs were ex
changed, and Miss Cosgrove was de
lighted to find her unseen lover a good
looking youth, distingue in appearance
and decidedly handsome. Fiually she
consented to come to Wathena to be
married. Two weeks ago she started
for Kansas. All went well until she
got on the Denver Pacific. After
leaving Cheyenne the train struck a
drill, and Decame neipiessi^ stuck
While snow bound near Crow Creek,
Colorado, Miss Cosgrove attracted the
attention of Mr. Julius Emmett, a
commission merchant of Kansas City,
who perceiving the young la y seated
clone, and evidently unprovided for
such an emergency, very gallantly
tendered such assistance as was in his
power to give, which was a valise full
of cold food and two buffalo robes.
The young couple were soon on friend
ly, social terms. Miss Cosgrove very
naively recited her adventures, and
was rewarded by Emmett informing
her that he was single, etc. They
parted with regret at Wathena, when
the young lady turned to meet him the
first time she was to call her husband.
She had only a moment to wait before
a rough, rakish-looking individual, at
least forty years old made himself
known as her correspondent and ex
pectant husband. Miss Cosgrove find
ing that she had been deceived, turned
without a word and entered the car
for Kansas City. A few days after
ward the lady married her friend Em
mett, and she will no doubt wonder at
the strange termination of a flirtation
in a snow drift on the Denver Pacific.
Embarrassing.—A Sacramento la
dy found herself guilty of larceny the
other day under rather peculiar cir
cumstances. She was riding in a rail
way car, and occupied a seat with
another lady passenger. Like a great
many other women of the present day,
she wore ourk^her own hair, of
course, but it wasn’t fastened on strict
ly according to nature’s programme.
By and by, as the train was jolted
along, she felt something falling about
her f.>ce and neck, and in a second it
flashed across her braiu that her curls
had become detached. The predica
ment was a shocking one, but she en
deavored to save herself as much as
possible by quietly passing the capil
lary ornaments iutoher pocket, thank
ing her stars that she was almost at
her destination. At the station she
hastened to the dressing-room to re
pair damages to her toilet, when be
hold! the mirror reflected back the
fact that her curls were in their proper
position, and an examination ot those
in her pocket showed that they were
not her3, but of a different color, be
longing to the lady who sat by her
side in the car.
The Leather and Shoe Business.
The opposition papers are growing
facetious over the association of a tanner
and a shoemaker or the Radical ticket.
We quote a few specimens :
"If Wilson is elected Vice-President, he
will not be continually relit ing, as Colfax
was. He will stick to the last.”
The Radical ticket has been re-vamped
at Philadelphia* It was half soled before.
Those who bet on it will be awl sold in
November.”
“With Grant, Galena tanner, and Wil
son the Natick cobbler, in the lead, the
Republicans will view the political situa
tion through a pair of leather spectacles.”
“When Ulysses and the great aimiler
were nominated, the Radical ticket was
leather and pruoell. By the substitution
of the Natick cobblerf or Colfax, it has be
came awl leather.”
Executive
Washington, D. C., June
Hon. Thomas Settle, President National
Republican Convention, Paul Stro-
bach, Elisha Bixter, C. A. Sargent,
and others, Vice Presidents u
Gentlemen : Your letter of this
date, advising me of the action ol the
Convention held in Philadelphia, Pa
on the -5th and 6th of this month, and
of my unanimous nomination for the
Presidency by it, is received. I ac
cept the nomination, and, through you,
return my heartfelt thanks to your
constituents for this mark of their
confidence and support.
If elected in November, and pro
tected by a kind Providence in health
and strength to perform the duties of
the high trust conferred, I promise the
same zeal and devotion to the good of
the whole people for the future of my
official life as shown in the past. Past
experience may guide me in avoiding
mistakes inevitable with novices in all
professions and all occupations. When
relieved from the responsibility of my
present trust by the election of a
successor, whether it be at the end of
this term or the next, I hope to leave
him, as Executive, a country at peace
within its own borders, at peace with
outside nations, with a credit at home
and abroad, and without embarrassing
questions to threaten its future pros
perity. With the expression of a de
sire to see a speedy healing of all bit
terness of feeling between sections,
parties or races of citizens, and the
time when the title of citizen carries
with it all the protection and privi
leges to the humblest that it does to
the most exalted,
I subscribe myself very respecfully,

“Going Slow.”—A cautious friend
suggests that our attacks on Greeley
will be a little embarrassing to us, if
he is nominated at Baltimore, and we
have to defend him in the canvass If
the Democratic party is called on to
cariy the dead weight of Greeley
through the approaching canvass we
shall leave defending him to those who
have invited and counselled the humil
iation.
Impressed as we are with the con
viction that the nomination or sup
port of Mr. Greeley by the National
Democratic party, is a death knell to
that organization and its principles,
whether he is elected or not; and
convinced also that he is the weakest

«* L
fi-Grant Radical
Sumner—that could
the great Gift Taker
p* ai»o othpr an-
Dromio—Charles
be run against
-we feel sacred
ly bound to do all w*e can to prevent
the calamity of his endorsement at
Baltimore. The way to prevent that
endorsement is for those who are op
posed to not to keep it silent and wait in
timid fear of destroying harmony, un
til the fatal deed is done ; but by
every possible means combat the mani
festation ot a willingness to support
him, whenever and wherever exhibit
ing itself. If we could see reason in
the proposed surrender to Greeley, in
the face of the evident fact that it
must divide and destroy both the
Democratic party and the liberal move
ment, we should feel that waiting
might be pardonable. But it is against
our judgment, as well as revolting t<f
our principles. The most effective
way to combat the eccentric and in
considerate impulse in favor of Gree
ley, is to remind the people what man
ner of mau the fanatical philosopher
is. We have done this by a few char
acteristic extracts from his recent ut
terances, and a perfectly fair recital of
some of the incidents of unremitting
hostility to Democracy, to our cherish
ed institutions, and our most sacred
institutions.
Three or four self-constituted dele
gates from Georgia put Greeley before
the country at Cincinnati; who knows
but three or four of the humblest dele
gates to the Convention at Atlanta
may decide whether the voice of
Georgia shall be for or against him at
Baltimore? How imperative, then, is
the duty of those who would avert
such a perilous result, to put lorth
every energy to prevent it. Keeping
si lent—keeping your powder dry—is
of little avail after the game is beyond
reach-—Southern Banner.

Pleasure Traveling in Californ
ia.—Certainly in no part of the con
tinent is pleasure traveling so exquis
ite and unalloyed a pleasure as in Cal
ifornia. Not only are the sights grand,
wonderful and surprising iu the high
est degree, but the climate is exhila
rating and favorable to an active life ;
the weather is so certain that you need
not loose a day, and may lay out your
whole tour in the State without refer
ence to rainy days, unless it is in ttie
rainy season ; the roads are surprising
ly good, the country inns are clean,
the beds good, the food abundant and
almost always well cooked, aud the
charge moderate; and the journey by
rail from New York to Sau Francisco,
which costs no more than the steamer
fare to London, and is shorter than a
voyage across the Atlantic, is in itself
delightful as well as instructive. Pro
bably twenty Americans go to Europe
for one who goes to California, yet no
American who has not seen the plains
the Rocky Mountains, the Great bait
Lake and the wonders of California,
can honestly say that he has seen his
own country, or that he even has an
intelligent idea of its greatness.
Cheap Campaign Paper.
The campaign now opening will be
one of the most important and inter

during that time, and will send it four
months at 50 cts. per copy.
Washington, June 10.—The last
hours of the session of Congress
were spent in getting through sever
al miscellaneous matters, principally
for the benefit of clerks and employes,
The Senate amendments to the
House bill extending to Arkansas the
advantages of the agricultural colleges
bill were concurred in.
Dr. Mary E. Walker attempted to
speak from the Speaker’s chair in the
House to-day, during a recess. The
Capitol police squelched her.
A sharp passage occurred to-day,
when Speaker Blain rebuked Repre
sentative Platt, of Virginia, who ac
cused Blain of a false count. The
House sustained Blain, when Platt
apologized, whereupon Blain regretted
that-that unprecedented charge had
provoked him to say that Platt was
either grossly ignorant or grossly dis
respectful.
The session to-day was prolonged
from hour to hour; finally the force
bill to amend the act approved Feb
ruary 2S, 1S71, passed as follows:

The New York Freeman’s Journal, in
an able article on the situation, gives the
following trnthful sketch of the Cincinnati
nominee for President—Let Democrats
read it. and then swollow the nauseous
pill, if they can :
There is one man above all others, who
has made himself a representative, and
the head, of all the most disjointed, aber-
ations of the human mind, in these States.
He has for thirty years past, raked the
moral sewers of cities, and the wild hush
es of country regions, to gather together,
of native or of foreign growth, all that
was most offensive to what was left to ns
of Chriatain civilization. He was the
widest known exponent, and advocate,
and patron, of the atriocious communion
of Charles Fourrier. He has been the
friend of every enormity attempted, in Eu
rope or in America, against the Christian
Religion, or against social order.
In regard to negro slavery, at the Sonth,
by his Tribune newspaper, he did more
than any ten men, living or dead, to crys
tahse the antagonism of the ignorant read
ing masses of the North against the South:
and to indoctrinate the ignorant norther
ners with the idea that' the solemn obliga
tion of our fore-fathers, in the United States
Constitution, pledging us, befoie God and
man to keep its stipulations, was “a cove
nant with hell and an agreement with
death.”
We have given hut a small part oftl.
portrait of his moral deformity, but every
intelligent American, of mature years, will
recognize in it—Horace Greeley !
As to the obsurd ides of the Democra
tic party endorsing the Cincinnati Radical
ticket, is not worth talking of. It will
not he done, we repeat, because it cannot
be done! The Democratic parly has
found its life, and its power in the profes
sion of principles, that cannot perish.
Events pass, circumstances change. But
principles, really such, are eterm-1.
Then the bulk of the Democratic party,
caught between the devil and the deep
sea, would take a deep sea !—They would
go for “lbc man on horse-hack,” rather
than for the curious person that is ridden
by all the notions and deviltres devised
against God, against society and against
the possibilities ot human existence.

Washington, June 11, 1872.
Senator Schurz has gone to St. Lonis to
deliver an address before the Sangerfest,
now convened there. He will endeavor
not to allude to political topics, but to
reserve himself for a future occasion, on
which he proposes to present his views
quite freely on the Cincinnati ticket and to
comment upon the manner in which it
was nominated. The Senator has been col
lecting important matter bearing upon the
nomination of Greeley and Brown, which
will give any thing but comfort to their
supporters.
Greeley stock has failed considerably
hereabouts il unrig the past fen Jo jo.
vi»-j- x>emocyus »>neie almost ready
to shout for Greeley now admit that the
chances for a straight out Democratic
ticket were never better.
The country has failed to respond to
the forced enthnsiasn manifested at Phil
adelphia, while Grant's indifference to the
fate of the Washington Treaty has array
ed almost the entire moneyed interest uf
the country against him. His letter of ac
ceptance is regarded as the weakest doc>
ument of the kind ever uttered. Even
bis friends speak disparagingly of it.
Forney’s Press to-day contains a threa
tening editorial on the political situation
in Pennsylvania, clearly foreshadowing
the fulfilment of the prediction made in
these dispatches two months ago that Cur
tin woald return home to canvass the
State against Grant. The editorial cre
ates a doubt as to whether Forney will
stick to Grant.
Colonel McIntyre left for home this
morning. Senator Norwood will probably
leave on Friday morning.
The English Minister has changed

of the favorable termination of pending

The Way to Talk It.—Simeon K.
Wolfe is the Democratic candidate for
CoDgress in the 2d Indiana District.
Wolfe is for a straight-out nomination,
and he presses it urgently. But he
sums up the whole philosophy of pat
riotism in the following words, which
we commend to all Democrats as right
feeliug and good sense. Let this spirit
prevail and all will be well:
The question is properly before the
Democratic National Cenvention. We
must presume that its deliberations
will be controlled by wisdom and pru
dence, and with an honest determina
tion to subserve the best iuterests of
the party and country. When that
Convention meets it will doubtless do
what may seem to be the best under
all the circumstauces. 1 do not be
lieve it will nominate or indorse Gree
ley ; but if it does, and there be no
alternative, and the situation is such
that the Democratic organization can
be preserved, I shall probably feel it
my duty to acquiesce whether I shall
regard the decision a wise or an un
wise one. Indeed, gentlemea, 1 am
free to say that I regard the re-elec
tion of General Grant as so full of
danger to the institutions of the coun
try, that I do not know now what I
would do to prevent it. I have no
hesitation in saying that I think I
would make any reasonable sacrifice to
avert such a calamity. Aud .if the
contest shall narrow down between
Greeley and Grant, which I hope may
not be the case, I have no hesitation in
saying that I would not vote for Grant.
The Philadelphia Age says like Riche
lieu’s poetry, Senators Logan and Carpen
ter'a speeches in the 8enate in defense of
their master, fell upon "tiers of lifeless
gapers.” Tee audience saw the collars
around the necks of these men in the Sen
ate, and turned with disgust from the hu
miliating specticle. They had no ears
nor eyes for such a national degradation*
Mrs. Farragut, widow of the Admiral,
is to have a pension of two thousand dol
lars. A pension of fifty dollars a month
has also beeu conferred on the widow of
General Auderson.
German Immigration.—The New
York Express has a letter from Berlin
which gives a striking picture of a
“social movement” now going on in
many parts of Germany. Large mass
es of the rural population are swarm
ing across the Atlantic, the lines to
Hamburg and Bremen are all crowded
with intended emmigrants, villages
are half emptied, and forced sales of
property, at twenty-dye per cent, be
low its real value, testify to the eager
ness of owners to hurry away to the
western land of promise. It is stated
that the majority of these emmigrants
are skilled mechanics and artisans, and
a* such can scarcely fail to exercise an
importent influence upon the industry*
| al development of the country.
