Political affairs are progressing anletlr. i but finely. Our party are not making much fuss, nor are they depeudlng much on stump speecl.es; but the majority of the good workers are active.

An Accomplished Gypsy tilrl. The Norwegian papers are full of a marriage recently celebrated between an English gentleman and a Gypsy girl bearing the name of Esmeralda. Tbe gentleman la Mr. Hubert Smith, wbo la described as a innd-owner In Shropshire, and wbo, some time ago, made himself known in literature by a clever book entitled "Tent Life with English Gypsies In Norway, dedicated to hing Charles XV.

of bwedenand Norway." Mr. Smith bas spent several eutnmors in Norway with a following of uypsics, wandering on root through valleys aud over mountains, carrying tents and provisions with bim on tbo backs of doukeys, and leading a most original vagabond life. Ksmeralda was born on his estate in Shropshire. Hie Is, tbe Norwegian pnpers state, very handsome, a pertect type of tbo peculiar beauty of ber race, of the sweetest temper, and richly gifted Irom the hands of nature. Tbe last few months she bas passed in a Norwegian family, taking lessons in languages and muslo, and has astonished all by tbe wonderful progress msde in so short a time, not less than by ber Kcnlle manners.

Tbe marriage was a civil one, being performed by tho judge of the I'eace, mil the rector or tbe parish attended the ceremony, as he bad bad tbe opportunity of knowing tbe bride during ber stay iu tha neighborhood, and made a much applauded speech In her honor. Tbe Norwegian Uypsics' friend, Mr. Ellert Sundt, wbo bas devoted tbe best part of bis llfo to tbe pulling down of the barrier erected by prejudice and traditional superstition between tbe Gypsies and the rest of tbe community, anil wbo bas converted not a few of tbe nomadizing tribe to settled and industrious life, had been Invited to tbe marriage, which had bla full approval, but was prevented at the moment from attending. Several notabilities from Chrlatiania are mentioned among tbe guests, and tbe marriage was tbe oc casion for nuinereus expressions of sym- painy, especially irom ladles who bad made the acquaintance of tbe bride. After the solemnity tbe newly-married couple left to spend their honeymoon in the venerable beech forest near Lourvig, tbe only one of tbo kind in Norway, affording ample accommodation for tent life with Uypsics.

Nor do 1 think tbat a third term will involve any orgaoio change in our institutions and freedom. Tbe direction of events Is toward a moro eubstantial and efficient central It must be so.

Look at the prodigious wasto and expensiveness of State Governments. Look at tho debt or New York State. The Federal Government is tbo most economical and elllclent thing we have. The observation ofbuslness men approves It, whatever the press may say. Grant's reelection seems to me to be foreordained by the business community, iile re-election will be the expression of their belief that tbe nation requires less politics, less change and more authority."

Tbe rest of the Southern States are bound to be lost to the ltepub-lican party." "Then is it not unfair for those States bleb can not elect any Republican ticket to be making tbe nomination?" "No. That Is one of tbe reaults of the providence of things.

Reconstruction bas made tbe minority States tbe authors of tbe tbird-term policy. Kentucky and Tennessee, where tbe Republican party Is nearly confined to the office-holders, will bave their influence In Convention equally with Maine and Michigan. The Convention system and the Federal office-holders grip on tbo Republican organization lu tbe Boutb are Grant's opportunity," "You tbluk tbat there will be only two candidate next time?" "Only two. The Democrats bold that It Is better to lose tbe Presidency tban to lose tbe Presidency and their organization too, as happened to them very nearly in the last tight. They will nominate a etraight candidate on the old and favorite principles, and tbe people of tbe United Btates can not be Induced to trust tbe Democratic party with the control of this country at present." Expressing some surprise at these views from sn old opponent or President Grant, the Governor's friend, General Bberidan, generally known as "tbe fat boy," remarked: "1 agree with Warmoth that Grant will be renominated.

The Boston Post bas tried In vain to get Weston to walk againat a buit-esw and make two mpdern Instances of himself, so that it baa remained for no, in our consuming toal for the public benefit, to make a suggestion which we feel euro Mr, Weston will adopt. Hs bas possibly noticed tbat at the rural fairs tnt year there is tendency to do away with trotting matches and balloon ascensions, on aooountof tbe demoralizations and dangers resneotlvely ensuing.

At tbe eame time the fair man agers are more than ever convinced tbat tne farmer and hie family hanker after something above and beyond yokes or sheep, and carrots and worsted samplers. aow, ii nss ocourrea 10 us mat Mr. Weston can prcpara an exhibition which will draw an Immense orowd and oombine all tbe elements or sensation and success. Our pisn is simply to collect at each ralr. say one hundred of tho purest bred short-horn bulls that can be found, and ar range them In tbe ring with their beads Inward; then at a given signal let Mr.

Weston appear In the center or the circle tbus formed, clad in a suit or red flannel under-Hotbing, and for the space of an hour, or tbereabouta, entertain the century of quadrupeds. We are assured tbat tbe bull bad no antipathy to a lively red color, aud even were It otherwise tbere would be so many bulls tbat tbey would get in each other's way and be nnable to injure bim. Add to this tbe fact tbat prize bulls, weighing from 8,000 to 4,000 pounds, are such unwieldy objeots that tbelr locomotion excises amusement rather tban alarm in everv well-regulated breast, and it will be seen that Mr. Weston'e performance will be ridiculously devoid of danger. As a moral display of the supremacy or man over tbe brute creation, and oi tbe importance or calmness, courage aud agility, the exhibition would have 4 great educational and sthetlo effect, while to the masses it would anord all the excitement or a duii fight, without any or Its cruelty, since tbe bulls would not be goaded with darts or slain, thrust through with a aword.

Tbere would be no objection to having Professor Doremus and a number of other selentlHo gents In attendance with microscopes, and tape-lines, and post-office scales, and photograph apparatus, to tske observations of Mr. Weston before, during and after tbe perlormance. In the interests of science; and, altogether, we think tbat the enow would be tbe success of tbe century. Tbe man who hesitates to adopt our suggestion is lost. UUGLEDAND BANDAGED.

General Grant has been formally put In nomination fur a third term by tbe dominant political party of tbe btate or Boutb Carolina. We entertain no very grave apprehensions or tbe election or any man to tbe office of President more tban two terms In succession.

It never did happen, and we think It nover will. It is not, therefore, because we are moved by fear or such an event tbat we rorer to it. And we are not in the habit ol very frequently volunteering advice to the President of tbe United States. But we can not help thinking, and we throw out the suggestion, tbat this nomination by Bouth Carolina affords the President an excellent occasion to de-oline allowing hla name to be used at all as a candidate for a third term. By so doing he would msnlfest that regard and reverence ror Washington and tbe great and good men wbo succeeded bimas President which Is common to the American people General Grant's military fame Is among our National treasures, and we do not wish to see it tarnished by the manifestation of any inordinate ambition ror mere power and place.

Hie early declination would effectually guard his nams against the susploion or selfish and unworthy motives, and a dlspostlon to disregard the cherished traditions of bis country. What ws should like to see on the part or tbe President ie a disavowal or any willingness to be a candidate again, even ir a few miserable, self-seeking politicians and office-holders do desire to put him in nomination, A third term mesne the first step towards monarchy and the name or any man woo stands out as tbe representative or monarchical ideas in this country is destined to be oome infamous.

He was stage-struck. Ue returned home fired wtiih tbe eagerest ambition to ebine on the boards. Ills enthusiasm was irresistible. He at onoe began to take les sons In elocution irom a Belfast managor: and Just seventv-one rears ago, young Betty being then in bis thirteenth year, be made bis debut at Belfast as "Osman." in tbe play otZara. His triumph was an Im mediate one; out ne speedily made It more brilliant.

He appeared in succession as "Rolls," as "Romeo," and as "Norval." He became famous. Starting out from Belfast, be made a tour through the Irish towns in Ulster. Though the country waa then in a state of turmoil, and under tbe ban of martial law. 'be was every-wbore received with frantio enthusiasm. So great was the rage to see him that "in one Irish town where he per- rorined tbe military oommandant issued a special order permitting the gatee to be left open at night two boura later tban usual, In order that the gentry living In the environs might have an opportunity to witness the appearance or the youthful tragedian." lie was already naued ae the "young lioscius;" and tbe Irish critics bid Jobn Philip Kemble look to bis laurels.

Ills fame spread to Dublin, to England, even to London. Tbe curiosity ol arlstocratlo society to see bim became overwhelming. Tbe boy prodigy wae loudly called upon to hasten to tbe great metropolis, where fortune and adulation awaited him. Betty went first to Glasgow to lulflll an engagement; but tho London managers were so clamorously lemptiiHt that he out short bis Scottish tour and hastenod to the oentrsl scene of dramatic victories. Young Betty made his first appearance at the Theater Royal, orury i.aue, in toe summer or ibu4, at tne age of fourteen.

Tbe play was Darbarona, his part was "Acbmet." Tbe greatest nobles and most famous etateamen, poets and writers were tbere to hear and see him. Among bis audience were Pitt, tbe Premier, Charles James Fox, Sheridan. Windham: the royal box was crowded with tbe big, ruddy sons of George Mrs. Siddons listened from a side box. Byron and his set were also probably present.

Betty took the London world by storm. For the moment tbe Kembiesand Younrs were quite a snower oi goiuen guineas descended upen him. He oonoluded an engagement to play on alternate nights at the two greatest London thesters, Drury Lane and Covent Garden, at fifty guineas per nlgbt. What was wonderful was that he steadily maintained, bis excellence, and hence his popularity. Ue was not tbe sensation of an hour, but a really great actor: aud this at fourteen or fifteen.

Betty baa not been In London a year before bis aalary was In creased irom nny to nunured guineas a nlgbt. He went on from triumph to tri umph, aud long maintained hla poaltion as tne acknowledged rival or u.emtie, Edmund Kean and George Frederick Cooke. Even Talma did not draw greater houses. He kept tbe stage Just twenty years after bis first appearsnce at Drury Lane, and retired, gorged with the riches wbloh his genius had garnered in 1824. At thirty-four he bad become a man or wealth, and be was destined to enjoy It fifty long years after be bowed his lust adieu before the footlights, lie survived everv one or his contemporary actors, and, Indeed, tbe generation oi actors woo succeeded him.

of whom Maoready and Cbarlee Kean were tbe last. As a tragedian be was noted for bis fire and spUndid enunciation rather than for his adhereuce to tbe strict rules ol art, and rather resembled Edmud Kean than Cooke or Kemble. As boy and man he wae ner- sonally very popular with the denizens of tne green-room, aud, being the prodigy that be wae be became a great pet with the Jovial arlatooraoy of the Regent's time, Gentleman George paid blra lavish compliments, and Princess Lteven eent him bouquets. Ue is described by Macready as having been "a bright boy, about four reel In height, with handsome features, remarkably luxuriant hair and brilliantly expressive eyes." Liberal Repoblleanlem la New Tork. (From the Nsw York rteraltLj The grotesque organization called tbe Liberal Republican party came to an end yesterday, so far as this Btate Is concerned.

By tbe terms or tbis resolution tbe Convention declined to make nominations ror Btate officers, but recommended the party to vote for honest men. Un-kind oriUcs might read this as an intimation tbat, having no honest men of tbelr own to spsre, they recommended tbelr fol-lowers to look elsewhere. But we will not make this criticism, for this party Is no doubt as honest as any other, only it wanted monoy and votes. Bo goes our desr departed Liberal move-nient dust to dust, earth to earth, and we rear without triumphant hopea ol a Joyrul resurreotlon.

We suppose Waldn Hutchlns gave it up long ago. That lon beaded political mariner is not apt to wait until the ship reaobes the rooks.

IXew York Sun Cor. from Dlngman's Ferry, p.i In the wilderness eight miles north-west of DIngman's Ferry, Pike County, un-derneath a huge rock In a small cave, six by eight feet, has lived ror upward thirty years a human being named Austin Sheldon.

Ue was born in Wales, and eml. grated to this couutry about tbe year 1849. Wben he landed in ew York be had small sum of money, with wblch be. came atoot to Pike Couuty and purchased a sin. gle acre of wild, uncultivated, scrub-oar.

land, situated in Lehman Township, amid a dense and dismal forest, several miles from any habitation. At tbe western end of this small trip of land Is a small cave only about six by eight feet. In tbls cave, without any au terations or improvements, tbls hermit has for more than thirty years made his home. Tbe nor ml is nearly seventy years of 1 age. Uis faco has not been shaven for forty years.

Tbe sides of his faoe and cbln aud peek are covered with ooarss gray hair, while bis beard is several feet in length, and white as snow. lie wears tbe same suit of clothes he wore twenty years ago, wblch are so badly rent as to render it necessary to fasten tbem together by means or twisted hickory withes. IIo nsver works, and unless obliged to go to the nearest store for ammunition, never leaves sight ol his cave. His mode or living is peculiar. His diet consists principally of berries and fruit during theij season, while in the winter be subsists on various kjnds of wild game.

His education was not neglected during his boyhood, for he is well read and remarkably Intelligent. Ue is a firm believer In religion, and devotes most of his time reading tbe Bible and other sacred works, lie is deaf, and has been so lor several years, rendering ltneoes-sary to communicate with him by means of writing. He bas tbe faculty of charming birds, many of which he has scoured lu this wsy and reared. He has never used a lamp nor candle In his cave. His bod Is composed of straw scattered upon a solid rock.

Sheldon en- loys bis peculiar mode of living, and says he expeote to make this oave bis final resting piaoej The Memorial to Prlnee Albert. IFrom the New York nersld.1 The memorial to the late Frince Albert at Windsor Castle, erected by the Royal Princes and Princesses, is now nearly finished. The Illustrated London News saysi "The memorial Is formed within the walls of Cardinal Wolsey's Chapel, a building once known as tbe Tomb House, situated between tbo Deanery and St. George's Chapel on tbe Castle Hill. A number ef Mosalo portraits of Kings and Queens, and other personages oonnected with the history or tbe Castle, have been plaoed in tbe panels or tbe raise windows at tbe west end or the chapel.

Tbe panels or tbe celling are also filled with Mosalo work. The late Baron Trlqultl was Intrusted with tbe work of covering tbe walls beneath the windows with marble ploturea of scriptural subject, and when these were oompleted tbe sarcophagus of the Prlnoe, surmounted by a white marble effigy of 'Albert the clad in mediaeval armor, with the head reposing upon a pillow which Is supported by two angello figures, was placed upon the polished marble floor at tbe east end of tbe chapel, tbo face or the efflgy being toward tbe reredos. The latter la a beautiful conception In white marble or 'Tbe with gilded marble oanopy, the whole being Inclosed in a cbastoly arranged frame of Mosalo and colored marbles. Between the sills or the windows and the" marble inlaid work or Baron Tri-quitl there is a scries or white marble baS-rellefs, sculptured by Miss Durant, who, like the Baron, has not lived to see tbe completion of tbe obspel. Beneath the marble seats are a series of bronze grills, consisting of monograms of 'V.
