LWhen Horaoe Greeley, the lad, was
applioant for some work to do in
lee of Mr. Amos Bliss, down in
iltney, Vu, many years ago, there
i a little hesitation on the part of
ae about having anything to do with
Imat then appeared to be so ungainly a

Itttion than aia friends, said: "Gue a

the leader of a mighty political
ement which, in the interests of the

iverament and give the Bepublio a

Many had been hesitating to

Th Oomino Pop*.—The Gaattta
d Italia ssys:
The most likely sucoeuor to the pres-
ent Pope is Cardinal Antonia Maria
Paneblanoo, of the order of St. Franois.
He *ii born at Terranuova, in Sioilv,
on the 14th of Augait, 1808, and was
made Cardinal by Pius IX in the con-
sistory of the 27th of September, 1861.
He has always professed great admira-
tion for Pope Sixtos V, whose life was
his favorite study, and in whose oell he
lived. One day, whilo in a reverie, he
suddenly heard a knoek at his door, and
a voioe told bim that he would be a Car-
dinal. This announcement did not sur-
prise him; he merely replied, " Lo
saptvo," and he will, says tbe Gazette,
doubtless say the same when he learns
that he has been eleoted Pope. Cardi-
nal Paneblanoo onoe swore before Oon-
ova'e monument to Clement XIV that
he would rest' re the Order of the Jesu-
its to its former greatness; and this is
said to be tbe great object of his life.
He ie tbe intimate friend of Father
Beekx, the General of the Order, but,
like bis model Sixtos ▼, he is exces-
sively reserved, earefully concealing
from every one his intentions for the
future. He praises tbe Syllabns, and
defends the prinolple of infallibilty with
extraordinary skill and theological
knowledge. As for Pins IX, he has
thorough belief in the Cardinal sinoe a
young Italian girl prophesied some
twenty years ago that the next Pepe
wonld be a monk of the Order of St.
Franois. "Mystioal," concludes the
Gszslta, "as Savonarola, Paneblanoo is
tbe slave of a medito val Utopia whioh
moves him to revive the Obnrob of tbe
thirteenth century; and the Sosiety of
Jesus, which does not believe in mys-
tioism, regards bim with anxi«ty, Dot
quite knowing whether he is a friend or
an enemy,"
a Fatal Lake.—a uuka Anboe cor-
respondent of the San Francisco Bui
letin writes:
Some twelve or fourteen persons have
been drowned in this lake within tbe
past ten years; none of the bodies have
ever been reoovered. Superstition, ever
ready to weave a sensation from nature's
laws, asserted that there was a douutful
mystery in tbe non-recovery of tbe
drowned; that, in faot, a monster bad
his abode in this fresh water sea, and
that the bodies all passed into his oa
paoious maw. The true explanation ot
this mystery never has been given. The
non-appearance of the bodies is due to
three oauses. The first is the great
>nrity of the water and its consequent
aok of buoyanoy. Drowning is very
easy in it, for this reason, though I have
not while swimming in it found any
more than ordinary difficulty in sua
taining myaelf. The eeoond and main
oause is due to the great ooldness of the
water. Even at this, the warmest sea-
son, the nur'ace water is as oold as the
drinker desires it to b«, but it is w^rm
there compared with its temperature at
the depth of oue hundred to two
hundred feet. It is as oold there aB
the arotio beat of an ioeberg. When a
body sinks in the lv.« >o the depth re-
quired, it is frozen stiff. The process ot
course presei vea it so that tbe gas whioh
originates in the body from deoay in
oiber water is prevented, and distension
ohecked. The body is thus kept in a
state of greater speoiflo gravity thaa the
water in whioh it is suspended, and
thereby prevented from rising at the
surfaoe. The third cause lies in the
great pressure of tbe pure water on any-
thing whioh is sunk to a great depth iu
it. Corks plaoed on deep sea netB are
pressed down in a week to half their
Bize, and one of tbe oldest residents of
the lake expresses tbe belief thit by the
time a man's body has been suspeudod
for a week at a depth of about 200 leet
( t is not likely that it reaohes the cav-
ernous and almost fathomless bottom of
tbe great lake,) tbe compression of the
water has reduced its size to that of a
child's. Doubtless the idea of unooffined
suspension in such a " world ot water M
in not a pleasant one to contemplate,
but to be preesed into a solid mass and
suspended in a liquid coffin of ioe tem-
perature is quite as ploisant as inter-
ment and mouldering in the ground.

In our own country, a war upon corruption
and raacullty in office has been Inaugurated
In our City, whereby the government ol' our
State has been revolatlonlzed through an
Initial triumph ot lteform whieh surpasses

scribed to any locality or any parly, but that
its purifying influence is destined to be felt
In every | art of the Uulou, rebuking vonali

The virtual surrender by the Democratic

of half tlioir bygono Intensity. However
parties may henceforth rise or fall, it ia oleur
that the fundamental (principles w)'' have

law—tbe inubllity of any State to enslave any
portion of its people—the duty of tbe Union
to guarantee to every citizen the lull enjoy

Though not yet twenty years old, the Repub-
lican party has completed the noble fabrlo of
Emancipation, and may fairly Invoke thereon
tbe sternest iudgment of Man and the benig-

Henceforth, the mission of onr Bepublio ia
one of Peaceful Progress. To protect tbe

Kreesion—to extend tho boundaries and dlf-

task to whioh this Nation now addresses it-
self, aud by winch it would lain contribute to
the progiess, enlightenment and happiness
of our raoe. To this great and good work,
The Tiubune contributes its zealous, por,

Agriculture will continuo to be more espe-
cially eluoidatcd in its Weekly and Semi

$300 worth of produce per annum can allord
to do without our Market Reporta, or othera

no farmer who can readut all can aS'ord to do

we aspire to make it oqually valuable to
