SUNDAY, MAW &, 1868.
ConGREssionAL NoMINATIONS.—The
Democrats of the First and Third Dis—
_tricts have nominated candidates for
Congress, and the Second District Con
vention has adjourned till August without nomiaating. This action is considered a damper on Coffroth’s prospects.
He made the fight in the late primaries,
and had more positive strength: than
any other man. He could not have
adjournment is probably only intended
to gain time in hope that something
may turn up that will insure the success
of anew maa. The adjournment will
not change the character of the Con
vention, and the calling of a new Convention would lead to an irrepressible
conflict in the Demooratic ranks, We
are incliagd to think that Coffroth still
has the inside track, and he will make
a strong fight fer the nomination. — It
matters little who the nominee is; he
will be beaten, In the. First District
_ Axtell, who represents the “regenerated
Democracy” has won; Many ofthe party
are exceedingly bitter upon him, and
his fight will not beso easy as in the
last canvass. Inthe Third District the
‘nomines has neither force of character
or ability, and would neither benefit nor
harm anybody, even if sent to Congress. Hoe hasaleo « harder fight than
he made in the last election, and will,
‘we hope, be cleaned out,. He has no
qualifications whatever for the position.
THB Opposition Line is making arrangements for a weekly steamer, says
the New York 7ridune, and closing contracts of a character which assures a
long contest. It is reported that Mr.
Garrison is to operate the Atlantic end
of the route, for which purpose the
steamers bought recently will be used.
~The point aimed-at by the Opposition
is an equal division of the business, and
it is sought by means used by’ the
~~ “Merehants’ Union Express” —the. use
of asmall capital against a large one—
two millions against twenty. This
ruinous fight, for the stockholders, is
pushing California ahead with unexampled speed; as can be more fully appre<
ciaved by visiting the docks of the rival lines and see the oor; of travelers
and goods.
fiwannapua ‘Discovery. -—~ The
Chattanooga Union says that Mr. Wm:
Staples, while digging recently in a salt
lick on his farm, twelve miles northeast
of Kingston, Tenn., struck a solid limeatone rock, about seven feet below the
surface. He found in it a well about
eight inches in diameter, filled with
very salt water. After his discovery of
the well Mr. Staples prosecuted his in
vestigations, and to his surprise found
@ line of salt kettles, or rather the: remains of salt kettles, The kettles were
of stoneware, made of the same material as that used by the Indians for their
home ware, such as plates, dishes, etc.
The kettles were broken, but their
curvature indicated that they were
about three feet in diameter, and were
about forty in number. A most striking fact connected with this discovery
is that these kettles were found at a
depth of seven feet below the surface of
the ground. Growing abeve them
were trees—poplar and oak—which
were evidently two centuries old.
PEOPLE used to write novels about
“Ten Thousand a Year,” it was such a
novel thing; but now-a-days it is a
very common occurrence. We see it
stated that John B, Gough has made an
arrangement with the Young Men's
Christian Association of Chicago, by
which all his lectures will be under its
auspices. “They pay him $200 an evening for eighty nights in each of the
next ten years, That is $16,000 a year
for his services seven evenings a month
—and that to continue for ten years.
‘That is about as good a thing toi sannali
way sae man wants.

_ GLENBROOK PARK—THE OPENING
Nigut.—The new house gt Glenbitook
Park was opened with « grand ball on,
Friday evening, May. ist. E. 8. Pratt,
admirably adapted for a place of resort
and fitted it up in splendid style. The
house stands upon thie site of the old
building and istwo stories in height,
with verandas extending — entirely
‘around it, A large hall runs through
the centre and ‘on the left-is-a—hand-+
sothe bar room which has been fitted
Next, on the same side is the dining
room, which is admirably designed for
LANCASTER & ¥ HASEY, Prop’s. nail in the rear, on the same side is the
kitehen. On the right ofthe main entrance, a reception room, which is very
tastily farnished is open to the guests,
On the same side are two) rooms
together take a parlor of ample dimensions for the accommodation of a large
party. The second floor is reached by
a stairway from the main hall, On
this floor are two fine. suite of rooms
and the dancing hall. The latter be}
admirably adapted for the purpose,
being well ventilated and ‘lighted by a
hansome chandalier suspended from .
the ceiling. Carriage sheds of ample
dimensions have been built on either
side and tothe reat of the house, The
grounds about the house have been laid
off for ornamental gardens. ‘Trees have
been planted, and in a year or two the
Glenbrook will, under the management
of Pratt, become one of the most pleasant places of resort in the State.
On the opening night the guests
commenced arriving about 8 o'clock
and the place then presented:a most
cheerful appearance. The house was
brilliantly illuminated, and in front
blazed a great bonfire, which threw its
light all around, ~The brilliantly lighted house and the whirling of carriages
and Grass Valley, while the brass band
discoursed sweet music, were enough
to inspire a less jovial party than the
one we are describing. At an early
hour ‘dancing cominenced and the hall
was so0n filled. ‘The music was.excel—
lent and under its magic influence the
hours rapidly passed. There were be.
tween thirty-five and forty couples, the
two towns being about equally represented. At 12 o'clock supper wae announced and the party. sat down to one
of the best suppers ever given in the
county. It appeared that the markets
had been exhausted and the art of
cooking brought into full play, while
the best taste had been consulted in the
arrangement of thetable. The waiters
were prompt and attentive and the
gave better satisfaction and all the details were admirably arranged. Mr.
and Mrs. Pratt, as host and hostess,
were praised by all hands, and the opening night at Glenbrook will long be
remembered by those who were present. This place will, become a favorite
resort for private social parties, strawberry suppers, etc.
Buretary.—On Thursday night,
says the Grass Valley Union, the store
of Campbell & Stoddard of Boston Ratwenty dollars in small change, and a
gold watch were stolen. An entrance
was effected by digging through the
back wall. of the building, at a point
hear the door,and when an opening
was made large enough to admit the
arm, the bar on the inside was turned
and the door easily opened. The bur
glars failed to get into the safe which
was in the store. The small change
which was taken was in the till, No
clue to the burglars has been obtained.
