The election to be held on Thursday, August 7th, 1873. The New York Herald is a wonderful paper, full of news and sensation. The amounts paid by that paper for first news, no matter how great, has often excited remark and astonishment? On the other hand, it seizes so greedily on anything sensational that it often over nteps the boundary of strict veracity. The Herald first published charges against Gen. Van Buren, Commissioner to Vienna, in such a sensational style that the State Department at Washing ton took very unjust action in the 1 1 il i 1 TT T 1 1 premises, auq men me xieraia iook the other side of the question, and be rated Secretary Fish for acting so hasti ly. The Herald feeds on excitement and sensation. Without it, business would fall off, and hence its various " enterprises " gotten up to that end. The latest dodge is " Csesarism," which term is applied to President Grant's desire (?) for a third term. Mosby, the great, has been heard to declare that he would support Grant for a third term, and the Herald sounds the warning cry in column after column of editorials. Steady old papers like the N. Y. Jour nal of Commerce say that it is no use to talk on that question at present, and 4 1 rt 4- . 4- ' Knii'iMt 4 "V l rl TT 4" . T. 4 It f T f I P Vr.Tr I UUt 11 13 UtLltl IAJ lil J ll Oil VilC OUtll 1U1 a couple of years ; but the Herald keeps " lighting it out on that line." The cry is taken up by the Southern journals, and sounded along the whole line. Drums are sounded, troops are hurried to the front, lines of battle are formed, and guns are hastily loaded, but they find no enemy in front ! , President Grant has made no move, and the party which nominated and elected him, has made not the slightest sign, but still the papers are filled with warnings trver the imaginary danger. Wc have heard these frantic cries so oftenjrover the dangers to come, which never did come, and the acts of usurpation where no one " usurped," that wc have ceased to trem ble at the thunders of the opposition. There arc altogether too many prom inent men in our party who want to be President to warrant the belief for a moment .that President Grant will strive for a third term, or that our leaders will desire to place him in that position, and consequently we do not anticipate any question in the matter. The idea that government patronage can carry an election or even force a nomination in free independent America, is absurd. Andy Johnson tried that, with all "the desperation of a drowning man, and signally failed. Hut suppose, that in lbt u it was shown that the administration had brought this country to an unexampled prosperity, and that for a continuance of the same it was deemed advisable to continue him for another term, what is there to hinder ? Because Washington declined a third term, is that any reason whv no one should occupv the White House- for three terms ? According to that argument, if Washington had de clined a re-election, no one of his illus trious followers vjpuld have held the office the majority of the people desired them to hold. Wc repeat, we do not believe Presi dent Grant will be a candidate for a third term, but we arc of the opinion that the Herald is doing all in its power to educate the people up to a third term principle, and unless it finds some new sensation, the idea will become so familiar and common to the people that they will have no objection to it, when the time arrives for the selection of an other Chief Magistrate. Never was any proverb more errone ous man tne one wmcu tells ua " love is blind." Every lover can see a great deal more In bis irreetbeart than any one else pan, ' . . - EDITORIAL BUDGET. The Pope on the 28th received a number of newly nominated bishops. In his address he urged them to defend zealously the rights of the Church. Referring to the conflict between the ecclesiastical authority in Brazil with Freemasonry, he said Free Masons were liable to excommunication the same as the members of other secret societies, notwithstanding the charitable objects of their organization. In the House of Commons, Mr. Callan, member for Dundalh, asked if there was any probability that the Car lists in Spain woul4 be recognized as belligerents ? Viscount Enfield, Under Secretary for the Foreign Department, replied that the Carlists were undoubt edly gaining ground, but matters were not at a state to entitle them to bellige rent rights. A message from the Queen notifying the Commons of the forthcom ing marriage of the Duke of Edinburgr and asking that provision be made therefor, was received and read. Bruce, the home secretary, moved that owing to the absence of Mr. Gladstone, in con sequence of indisposition, -the conside ration of the message be postponed. After debate the motion was agreed to. The steamer Japan, from Hong Kong and Yokohama, arrived at San Francisco with a large number of Chi nese passengers on the 28th. The steam er brings Yokohama dates to July 7. The Japan Gazette defends Minister De Long. It says, there is universal sympa thy for him, and expresses indignation at the charges against him. The United States were never better served in the empire than by him. The inspector of consulates' seals from Washington was overhauling American consulates. Po litical affairs were generally quiet. An insurrection had broken out on the island of Kinsi, and troops had been sent to quell it. It is reported that as soon as the embassy from Europe returns all Japan will be thrown open to for eigners. In the province of Foe-Kee Vooken 20,000 farmers rebelled on ac count of the land tax. They destroyed the houses of officials, and raided through their section generally. A man-of-war and troops have been sent against the rebels. The Hakodate rebellion is end ed, and quiet restored. The following has just been receiv ed from our Minister Resident at Brus sels : " i ' LEOPOLD I, KING OF BELGiUM. To all present and to come, greeting : Considering that the interpretation of articles 11 and 13 of the royal decree of January 30, 1863, (1,) prescribing the routes to be followed and the measures to be employed to avoid accidents is not sufficiently definite, and thkt it seems proper, in consequence thereof, imitating the example of other countries, to speci fy the case to which the provisions 4)f two articles relate, upon the recommen dation of our Minister of Public Works, we do hereby enact : I . Special Article. Articles 11 and 13 of the royal article of January 80, 1863, relate exclusively to ships running to ward each other, in a direct or nearly direct line, in such manner as to result in danger of a collision. 1 They have no refererlce to ships which, in following their routes, are not liable to run foul of each other. The articles are applicable only in the instance as above specified, where two ships meet when running upon or nearly upon the same line. In other articles, by day, when each sees the masts of the other in line, or near in line,l with1 its own masts ; by night, when each perceives in a straight line, pr nearly so, ahead, the two side lights of the other. ' Our Minister of Public Works is au thorized to enforce this present order. Given at Brussels, June 12,1873. Digger Indians Catching Grasshop pers. Riding through the foot-hills, near Rockhill, I saw a curious and unexpect ed sight. There are still a few wretch ed Digger Indians in this part o'f Cali fornia, and what I saw was a party of these engaged in catching grasshoppers, which they boil and eat. - They dig a number of funnel shaped holes, forming for that purpose a wide circle. It is slow work, but thep seem to delight in it; and their excitement , was great as they nearexHhe circle of holes arid the insects began to hop and fall into them. At last there was a close and rapid rally and half a dozen bushels of grasshop pers were driven into the holes; where upon hats, aprons, bags, and rags were stuffed in to prevent the multitudes from dispersing. And then began the work of picking them out bvhandsful, crush ing them roughly in the hand to keep thorn quiet, and crowding them into the bags in which they were to be carried to the 'rancheria. "Sweet, all same pudding," an old woman to me, as I stood looking on. It is not a good year for grasshoppers this year; no they 'like the year of which an inhabitant 6f Roseville spoke to me later in the dav, when, he said, 'They ate up every bit of his garden truckj and then sat on the fence and asked -him for a chew1 of to bacco.". - . - J A Point tor Pianists, v , 'I The Vox Humana, a musical publica tion, shows that a prettyexperiment in acoustics is within" the reach of alL Every tone of a piano string is com posed of four or, more different sounds;. They seem to be but one, and it is diffi- cum io reauze xnai iour or more distinct and separate notes are merged in the sound we hfear. A very keen ear can resolve the note, and hear one and sometimes two of the added tones that accompany the lowest tone. The low est tone is very much louder than the rest, and gives the name to the note or group of nots. These added, tones that accompany ejvery note of the piano, are kuown as oyer tones. Their existence was only discovered a few years ago, and at first ilt was very hard to prove that they were really present in every note we heaij from a piano string. , This is now so wll understood that it . no longer attracts attention, and is treated as one of tpe common scientific facts known to everybody. Moreover, the number andt power of these over tones determine ihe character or quality of every musical sound we hear, whether it be from voice or instrument. To prove the existence of these unnoticed; and yet audible over tones the follow ing experiment may be tried : Touch gently the potes C, E, and G, one octa vo above mi4dle (two foot) C, and press the keys down till all tne sound has died away.j Then, while these keys are held dowi, strike the C . below v (twi foot C) jone quick, hard blow.- The damper will at once fall, and the soundj -will stop abruptly. At the same instant will be heard a low soft chord frofri the piano. The keys are not struck, and yet the piano sounds plainly. Lift the fingers, and the chord will stop a once. Try the experiment over and the same result will follow every time The fingers pressed on the three do not give the chord, and yet the strings corresponding to these over tones were free ts sound as the dampers were raised, an4 out of sympathy with the over tones they too sounded and gave the same motes. So we see that , these over tones 1 really exist in what we call the one niote of the C string. Were they absent, we should quickly notice the changed character of the note, and we should be surprised at the thinness and cloying sweetness ofa single really; pure note Without over tones. A note without Ovpr tones would be character-! less, tiresome, and insipid. Well sup plied with them, it is clangy, individual and interesting. Graphic. - 4 Enocji Morgan's Sons j S A J?
