And while the western sky waa rich
With sunset's rosy glow.
Then hand in band close-linked we passed

And you were seventeen.

And all its hopes were ours ;
And we were children in tbe fields,

NEW YORK, May 21.—Tbe following
is the notification to Mr. Greeley of his
nomination by the Liberal Republican
Convention, and his reply, accepting
tbe nomination:
CINCINNATI, May 3.
DF.AB SIR : Tho National Conven-tion
of tbe Liberal Republicans of the
United States has instructed the un-dersigned
to inform you that you have
been nominated as the candidate of
the Liberal KepnblicausJbr the Presi-dency
of the United States-. We also
submit to you tbe address nnd resolu-tions
unanimously adopted by the con-vention,
lie pleased to signify to us
your acceptance of the platform and
the nomination, and believe us, very
truly, yours,

J. H. RnoDEs,

MR. GREELEY'S REPLY'.
NEW YORK, May 20.
GEXTLEJIES : 1 have chosen not to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter
nf tbe 3d instant until I could learn
how the work of your Convention was
received in all parts of our great coun-try,
and judge whether that work was
approved and ratified by the mass of
our fellow-citizens. Their response has,
from uay to day, reached mo through
tellegranu, letters, and lite comments
of journalists independent of official
patronage and iudill'ereut to the smiles
or frowns of power. The number and
character of these unconstiaiued, un-purchased,
unsolicited utterances sat-isfy
me that tbe movement which found
expression at Cincinnati has received
the stamp of public approval and been
hailed by a majority of our countrymen
as tbe harbinger of a better day for
tbe Republic.
I do not misinterpret this approval as
especially complimentary to niyself,nor
even to the chivalrous and justly es-teemed
gentleman with whose name I
thank your committee for associating
iniue. 1 receive and welcome it as a
spontaneous and deserved tribute to
that admirable platform of principles
wherein youf Convention so tersely, so
lucidly, m forcible, set forth the convic-tions
which impelled, and tbe purposes
which guided its course; a , platform
which casting behind it tbe wreck and
rubbish of worn-out contentions and
by gone feuds, embodies io tit and few
words tbe needs atid aspirations of to-day.
Though thousands stand ready
to condemn every act, hardly a sylla-ble
of criticism or cavil has been aimed
at your platform, which the substance
may be fairly eptomized as follows :
First. All the ]>olitical rights and
franchises which havo been acquired
through onr late bloody convulsions
must and shall be guaranteed, main-tained,
enjoyed, and respected ever-more.
Second. All the political rights and
frauehiseswliich have been lost through
that convulsion should and must be
promptly restored nnd re-established,
so that there shall be henceforth no
proscribed class, and no disfranchised
caste within the limits of our Union,
whose long estranged people shall re-unite
and fraternize upou the broad
basis of universal amnesty and impar-tial
suffrage.
Third. That, subject to our solemn
constitutional obligation to maintain
tbe equal rights of all citizens, our pol-icy
should aim at local selfgovernment
and not at centralization; that tbe
civil authority should be supreme over
tbe military ; that the writ of habeas
corpus should be jealously upheld as
the safeguard of personal freedom ;that
tbe individual citizen should eiijoy tbe
largest liberty consistent svitb public
order, and that there shall be no Fed-eral
subdivision of the internal polity
of the several States and municipali-ties,
but that each shall be left free to
euforec tbe rights and promote the
well-being of its inhabitants by such
means as tbe judgment of its own peo-ple
shall prescribe.
Fourth. There shall be a real, and
not merely a simulated, reform in tbe
civil service of tbe Republic; to which
end it is indispensable that the chief
dispenser of its vast official patron-age
shall be shielded from the main
temptation to use his power selfishly
by rule fbrbiding and precluding re-election;
that tho raising of revenue,
are in
temperate;
Eight. That the public faith must
at all hazards bo maintained and the
national credit preserved.
Ninth. That the patriotic devoted-uess
and inestimable services of our
fellow-citizens, who, as soldiers or sail-ers,
upheld tbe 11 ng and maintained
the unity of tbe Jepublic, shall ever
be gratefully remembered and bonoia
bly requited.

decaying orgauizatioDs fionrish mena-cingly
their truncheons and angrily in-sist
that tbe files shall be closed and

of parties, once vital because rooted
in the vital needs of the hour, protest
against straying and bolting, denounce
men nowise their inferiors as traitors
aud renegades, aud threaten them with
infamy aud ruin.
I am confident that the American
people have already made your aiu.se
their own, fully resolved that their
brave hearts and strong' arms shall
boar it in triumph.
Iu this faith, and with the distinct
understanding that it elected, I shall
be the President ujtof a party, but of
tho whole people, I accept your noai-itiation,
in tbe coifidetit trust that the
m.MSesof ourcouutrymeii, North and

henceforth remain, bictlireu.

PnoTOGRApnY SIMPLIFIED.-A new
photographic process of peculiar sim-plicity
is attracting much attention
ajuoad on account of its dispensing
with much of the paraphernalia which,
in the present mode, involves so great
an amount of time aud trouble. In-stead
of the usual nitrate of silver
bath the inventor employs what is
known as an emulsion ; that is, be
mixes with the usual collodion a few
grains of nitrate of silver aud also of
uranium. These substances gives to
the collodion a remarkable sensitive-ness
to light. Iu taking pictures, tbe
operator simply pours the sensitive col-lodion
upon tbe glass plate, and then
rinses u with water. The plate is now
ready for immediate use, or it may be
kepi., iu a dark place, of course, and

readily developed by means of pyro-gallic

"Sometime."
The following is one of Mr. Prentice's
little waifs, so many of which appeared
in the Louisville Jonrnal in its palmiest
days.
"Sometime."—It is the sweet, sweet
song, warbled to and fro smong tbe
toiuuoat boughs of tbe heart, and fill-ing
the whole air with such joy and
gladness as the songs of birds do wben
the summer morning comes oui of
darkues, and day is born on tbe moun-tains.
We have all our possession in
the future which we call "Sometime."
Beautiful flowers and singing birds are
there, only our hands seldom grasp the
one, or onr ears bear tbe other. But,
oh reader, be of good cheer, for all the
good there is golden •'Sonietime/'when
tho hills and valleys of time are all
passed, wben the wear and fever, the
disappointment and the sorrows of life
are over, then there is a place aud the
rest appointed of God. Ob, homestead,
over whose rooi fall no shadows or
even clouds; and over whose threshold
the voice of sorrow is never beard ;
built upon the eternal hills, and stand-ing
with thy spires and pinnacles of
celestial beauty among the palm trees
of the city on high, those who love God
shall rest under thy shadows, where
there is no more sorrow nor pain, nor
the sound of weeping "Somewhere."
Both Sides of a Case Argued by
Toombs.
Toombs, of Georgia, is one of the
most gifted of all the erratic geniuses
that America bas yet produced. Like
Tom Marshall and William Uaskell,
he is a natural born orator. Mr. Clay
heard him make ono ol his first |>olitic-ul
speeches at a mass meetiug iu Geor-gia
iu 1810, aud predicted for him then
a brilliant future. It is related of
Toombs that on ono occasion, iu tho
trial of a very important case before a
Georgia jury, he by some strange ab-sence
of mind, got up and made a pow-erful
speech against bis client, who
was the plaintiff iu the case. After be
had spoken nearly an hour, and was
about to close, one of his associate
counsel whispered in his ear that he
had made a mistake—that he had
spoken on the wrong side. For a mo-ment
only Toombs was perfectly dumb-founded,
and recovering immediately
he turned to the court aud jury and
said : "Now, may it please the court,
aud you, gentlemeu of the jury, I have
in my remarks hitherto, attempted to
give you all, and the very best, too,
that can bo said ou that side of the
case; aud though . it may appear at
first blu.sh a very strong case, yet I
am confident, you will give me your
attention a little while longer, I will lie
able to convince you that, after all my
client, tbe plaint ill', is entitled to a ver-dict
at your bauds." He then proceed-ed
to overturn every position previous-ly
taken by him, exerting himself to
tbe uttermost of his wounded ability to
repair his mistake, and wound up with
an appeal to the court and jury so
thrilling that ho carried them by
storm, and triumphantly gained his
case for his client.—Lexington (Ky.)

At a recent trial the counsel for the
prosecution, after severely cross exam-ining
a witness, suddenly pnt on a look
of severity, and exclaimed:
'•Now, sir, was not an effort made to
induce, yon to tell a different storyf
"A different story from what I have
told, do you mean!"
"That's what I mean."
"Yes, sir ; several persons have tried
to get me to tell a different story from
what I have told, but they couldn't."
"Now, sir, upon your oath, 1 wish to
know who those persons are."
"Well, you've tried about as hard as
any of them."
He was questioned no futber ou
that point. ^^^^^^^^
A Jewel.—The most popular man in
Vieuua, Austria, just now, is a Turk-ish
magnate named Kalipacha Very
few will attempt, we should imagine,
to contest his supremacy over the fem-inine
heart which he asserts with Mon-tecristott
wiles. Recently, at a fete
which cost $40,000, numbers of cold
pheasants were served at supper. Ser-vants
picked out tbe bird's eyes and
laid on tbe ladies' napkins—they were
emeralds. It was rumored that this
delightful host was en route for Paris.
Paris was enchanted. He says now
he won't leave Vienna. Paris is in
tears.
A Scoth lord was seated one day on
tbe hillside of Boually with a Scoth
shepherd, aud observingthe sheep re-posing
in what he thought the coldest
situation, he observed to him: "John,if
I were a sheep I would lie on the other
side of the bill.—Tbe shepherd answer-ed,"
Ay lay lord, but if ye had been a
sheep, ye wad have bad mair sense."

Liquid Excrement.—How strangely
we overlook the value of tbe liquid
excrement of onr animals! A cow,
under ordinary feeding, furnishes in a
year, 20,000 potrnds of sertfl excrement,
and about 8,000 pounds of liquid —
The comparative mono}- va)Ve of tbe
two is but slightly in favor of the sol-id.
This statement has been verified
as truth, over and over again Tbe
urine of herbivorous animals holds
nearly all the secrctious ol" the hotly
which are capable of producing the
rich uitrogenious comjiouuds so essen-tial
as forcing or leaf.forming agents
in tbe growth of plants The solid
holds the phosphoric acid, the lime
and magnesia which go to the seeds
principally; but the liquid, holding
nitrogen, potash and soda is needed in
forming tbe stalk and leaves. The two
forms of plant nutriment should never
be separated or allowed to lie wasted
by neglect. The fanner who saves all
the urine of his animals, doubles his
mamma! resouu-es every year. Good
