Subject to the Decision of tbe St. Louis Convention. FOR SHERIFF, ISAAC GRUBB. FOR CORONER, DAVID C. ROSE. COOL SPRING RESERVOIR. Public attention should be directed, to this great work. It has cost a very large sum of money, to advance it, to its present condition. The appropriation for the re servoir, Ls exhausted, and work upon ii its present con dition. if left exposed to the wasting, and wearing force, of wind, frost, and rain, it would be certainly damaged, to the amount of at least $50,000. There have been -pent upon the work, nearlv put it in its present condition; less than $100,000 would finish it. What kind of economy is it, which would permit a great public improvement, to be exposed to in jury, to the amount of $50,000, when twice that sum would finish, and perfect it for use. When finished the city would have a marketable piece of real estate, in the site of the present basin, worth about a much money, as would finish the reser voir. has ceased.

If it is wise, economical, and necessary to finish the Cool Spring Reservoir, mem bers of Council should have no hesitation, in voting, to finish the work promptly. It does seem as tliough Grant had not only disgusted the people with himself, but even the members of his cabinet Bristow has left in a miff, and goes back to Kentucky to practice law, aud all because lie could not remain in the cabinet of a man who does not scruple at anything to attain selfish purposes. Now the news comes to us that Mr. Jewell is not the most contented man in the world, and will soon retire from the Postmaster Generalship. Here will lie another chance for Grant to slip in a man from some one of the many doubtful States in the effort to procure the success of the Republican party in the next elec tion. The same bid lias already been made for Pennsylvania, Maine, New York, Ohio, and now the next. Why should the President not make itJudge Fisher of Dela ware? He could get a bushel of recom mendations for a cabinet position, where he cannot get even smile for the District Attorneyship of the State from his own people. Robert Spoor, residing near Coxsakie, committed suicide Saturday, borne late to dinner and quarreled with his wife, and soon after went into a field, took a dose of strychnine, and died immediately. He came It was always known that If the Repub lican party presented a candidate in Sep tember, it must be a man who would be • decided improvement on Grant. The can didate bee made his appearance, and we must say puts the Grant picture clear in tbe background. It might have been a great deal better, but at the same time it is very refreshing to have the party nominate a ticket that does lay claim to honesty. But this new ticket must be surrounded with new claims to strike the sympathies of the people. The latest offered Is the one thatHayes is descended from the Irish,and it is supposed that great stresswill be laid upon this in the coming election to obtain pat ronage for the party. But this is denied by the Irish American, which paper finds that Mr. Hayes is a native of Connecticut, and has^ not a drop of Irish blood in his veins, although he may have a plenty of haye-seed. in his liair. will be to turn Wheeler into a Dutchman, aqd if they will promise that if elected to give all ihe appointments in the Cabinet to representatives of the nationalities, a sympathy might ^Irhaps be created among the foreign element of citizens, but we are rather inclined to think that they are disgusted a? well as others with the Re publican party. Now that the State Convention has met and fixed up an old feud, which created dissensions between the counties in regard to delegate representation, thought that that part of the machinery would run smoothly, bu'. it seems not, the trouble ha- begun afresh in Kent, time it is between the hundreds of Kern county. Dover hundred claims that it is entitled to fifteen delegates, ausl as it Ls now they only have eleven, this' opportunity in a communication which appears in another column, to re mind Kent of New Castle county's griev ances, and reminds the Kent county peo ple that they should follow the teachings of the bible and do unto others as they would be done by, but Mr. Dean should recollect that religion and politics don't mix any better than a combination against fairness does with wisdom, which is about the truth of the vote on this matter in the last Convention. The next move we Thi Mr. Dean take. It appear- ridiculous, but then it i at the same time very true, that the strong est supporters of the Republican party in the South are those men, who were in the foremost in the advocacy of the Southern The secret of this love of the Re cau-e. publican party is that they either hold office or expect to a- a return for this sup port.

The service ended.the body was borne to a small country cemetery, attached to the Church of Xohant, the resting place of George SaDd's ancestors.

[LondonLetter to UieManchesterGuardian.] I am assured on high authority that on June 7 an alliance was contracted between the Duke of Connaught and the Princess F rederica, daughter of the ex-King of Han over, and that a vote for his Royal High ness' establishment and for a settlement on the Princess will be submitted to Parliament before this session is ended.

[From tbe Cleveland Herald.) The commencement exercises of Wil loughby College, the Spring term of the same aud the existence of the college have ended. The prejent year has bean very un satisfactory, and a short Mme since a con tract was made whereby the college has been placed under the charge of the Board of Education at Willoughby for a term of live years, and the High School Depart ment of the Union Schools of this place will be moved to the college building, at the same time admitting a limited number of students from out of town on tuition. his a liyMwmmM*. UnMnIiMm-WM mi Kk pert tklaki *f IwlMdac-n* Channel rent. Capt. Webb lectured recently at 8t. Jame*' Hall, London. As a lecturer, he aaid, "be felt like a flah oat of water,''but the story he bad to narrate, which was that of bis life aud adventures, waa told with a ruggtd bluntness, not unrelieved with caustic hu bich had a peculiar charm for those who kneW what he had done. "He was un accustomed to tbe art of public speaking, ' be said, and he further assured those who laughed that "it was a fact''; but he "could tell them when he was born, and something which had happened in the course of his life." He said he first saw light in 1848. He could not swim then, but he commenced to learn not very long after ward, and between 7 and 8 was considered a good swimmer. Not a fast swimmer— that he did not pretend to be even now— but he could live a long time In the water, and had a long steady stroke, which told In the long run. He had a great love for the sea, but had a horror of the bathing women whom he saw ruthlessly dipping children at tbe coast. Example and kind words went further in the teaching of swimming, as well as in other things, than threats or terror. After being in the training-ship Conway, he went as a sailor to Calcutta ard Hong Kong, and at the latter place he had a fight with two Chinamen. He had a half dollar in his pocket, and the Chinamen waDted to take it from him, so they had re course to a trial by combat, and the result was he was landed in a drain, which was not the "drain" for which he had come on shore. [Laughter.] He did not remember much more—[laughter]—only he knew the Chinamen did not get that half dollar. [Ap plause and laughter.] Then there was an event of a different description—the attempt in which he saved an unfortunate sailor who was washed off the Cunard steamer Russia, and which won for him the medal of the Humane Society, and the Stanhope gold medal, prizes which he (Captain Webb) valued all the more highly because he had received them from the hands of another British soldier, his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. [Applause.] Fi nally, there was the Channel feat, in regard to which he gave an interesting account. There were merry bursts of applause when he described himself, after being rubbed down with porpoise-oil, as not only feeling but smelling strong, and hearty cheering when he told of tbe difficulties he had met Dr. Pope, late .Staff Sur mor. w and overcome, geon, K. A., then made some general re marks on the history of swimming, while Mr. Macgregor, of "Kob Roy" repute, gave verbal expression to the admiration of the meeting, aud ;>erformed tbe almost super fluous duty of calling on those present to give three cheers for "the hero of the Channel." Tbe Monte Man's Paradise. [From the N, Y. Sun of June 26th.] It was intolerably warm at Coney Island, yesterday, aud as the day grew older tbe crowd increased, and at 6 o'clock every host elrie w as full of guests, aud the water side was thronged with an ever-moving multi tude. A dark-faced man with a black mous tache and a stubble beard set up bis little table in front of the Point Comfort Houst and began to manipulate his cards and to essay by plausible talk to inveigle the un wary. He played with a queen, a deuce, and a five spot. "The queen, gentlemen," said he sweetly, "is your card. The other two art mine. Tell me where the queen is when I lay the cards down, and I pay you the amount of your bet. Don't all speak at once." He fingered the cards so mal adroitly that an innocent German was at once caught. ''I Let you tree dollar 1 tell de gween," said he ; and he put his homy linger upon the queen and won his money. The next time he tried it he lost *5 and drew out with the remark, "Y'ou'rn a dam tief." Other victims were added to the monte man's string. A long, lank, lean man stepped up and watched the shuffling of the cards. "1 think I can pick out the queen," said he. "Bet you *10 you can't," said the monte man, with a winning smile. The cards were shifted hither aDd thither, tin stakes were put up, and the lean man won. He tried again, and again he won. The monte man bet'au to lose temper and to upbraid the winner. "Why, gentlemen," remarked the lucky man, turning to the bystanders, "this game's as simple as pins. Anybody can pick out the queen, if he only watches. When that man's back was turned, I picked up the queen aud made a dent in her back with my finger nail, and here it is." So saying, be was about to take up a card, but the monte man objected and the lean man laughed a sardonic laugh. A green looking countryman, who had been watching the game with open eyes, in each of which was speculation, stepped forward and laid down a *5 bank note. Said he, w ith the manner of a mail who has built a horse car and knows that it will run, *-I'll pick out the queen : put up your money." The monte man glared savagely at the lean man, and placed a *5 note on the stand. The countryman turned up the marked card, and it was the deuce ! Detectives Zundt and Looney of Brook lyn, in patrolling the beach, found Valen tine, the chow-chow man, getting ready to play three card monte. They arrested Lim, and with him William E. Bunee, a "roper in." Valentine declared that he hadn't gambled any, hut said that he would have done it if he had had a chance. Fenian Joy In Dublin. [Dublin (June 14, Holiday) correspondence of Belfast News-Letter.] A torchlight processiou passed through the city, 'o-nigt, headed by several bands, for the purpose, It was understood, of cele brating tbe escape of the Fenian prisoners. On Grattan Bridge they burned a quantity of Sireworks. The bands were followed by several thousand [icrsons. The police did not Interfere. Iu the absence of the police on Grattau Bridge, they burned effigies of Mr. Disraeli aud the Duke of Cambridge, the effigies being set up on the parapet of the bridge- The Prime Minister was repre sented as a Christian Jew, with tbe word "murderer" on his back, and the Duke of Cambridge as a Germanic Briton. Tbe po lice seemed to be quite unaware that the mob carried effigies with them. Two tram cars, when attempting to move ftiong Wel lington Quay, were stopped by the mob and their windows smashed. The procession started from the front of Catharine's church, near Thomas street, where Emmet was exe cuted. The proceedings seemed not to be understood by the general public. The mob sang through the streets "God Save Ireland." William Teberts committed suicide at his room in tbe Commercial House, Bangor, Me., by shooting himself through tbe head. No cause 1* assigned for the deed. SaStiCipMP Dyspepsia la the most perplexlng of all human aliment*.
