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.

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. * li 1 1 _ / Y 1 I III) V* II u LI U UiUO annot you simplify them some ; , .. , At first t thought perhaps ^ JirfYun^erata ood you, but now I grope.— i ” , J ’ ° -K u\Vhw vnn'rfi most but nine—set ’em up on mp” Send 50 cts. and receive Federal Union for four months. the restricted yourseli to categorical state ments ot facts unincumbered with unobstructing accumulations of meta phor and allegory.” Another pause, and more reflection.

Presently his face came up, sorrowful, but confident. ^ “I’ve got it now, so’s you savy,’ said be. “What we want is a gospel- sharp. See ?” “A what?” “ Gospel-sharp—parson.” “ Oh !

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 with your left, I hunt grass every time.” “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, Your obedient servant, U. S. Grant. of the paksagb of tub bisection bill “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 fey* «* 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. Nine steamers left New York Satur day for Europe, the largest number that ever started heace for the Old World in one day. 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 esting that ever occurred in this coun try. We desire to place the Federal Union within the reach of everybody 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 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. [Special Telegram to the Morning Nrire.] 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 front on the Alabama Claims questiou. and officials here now give np all hope of the favorable termination of pending negotiations. Seminole. — ♦ — 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.
