The SEVENTH WARD MEETING
A small portion of the Democracy of
the Seventh Ward met at Conrad
Schraeder's grocery, Lamasco, last
night, for the purpose of selecting
candidate for City Councilman. The
p-town attendance was large. inclu-
ding many candidates for city favors,
on the Democratic ticket. About 8
o'clock the meeting was called to or
der, and Mr.. Ed. Law chosen Chair
man, Mr.. Lowenstein beieg selected
as Secretary. Mr.. Thomas Kerth
then moved that the meeting adjourn
to meet one week from last night.
From what could be learned by mix
ing through the crowd, there will not
be a scarcity of candidates before the
next meeting, some of whom will, Of
course, have to martyr" The can
didates gladly seized that opportunity
to court the favor of the dear people,
by the means usually employed by
Copperhead Candidates. Some of
them went in quite brisk, seeing
that the race had not yet COM
menced. The noticeable feature
of the meeting was the presence

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

Although the New England States, with
the single exception of Connecticut, have
for the last ten years uniformly given ma
jorities for the Republican ticket, the Presl,
Dental campaign in the East has opened
with considerable vigor.
MA1NE.-In the State of Maine the issue
is fairly divided on the Gubernatorial tick
ct. The Democrats are so hopelessly in
the minority in the Congressional Districts
that little or no contest will be made by
them there, with the exception, possibly, of
the Portland District, which they carried
in 1864, electing Hon. L. D. M. Sweat,
but which the Republicans retrieved in
1866 by 1858 majority. Nominations have
thus far been made but in three of the
Maine Districts for Congress. The State
election is held the first week in September,
and both parties are straining every nerve
to win the day.. The Democrats are not
very confident Of electing their candidate,
but are working to reduce the Republican
majority. In the Presidential election Of
1864 MIR. Lincoln's majority was "a ,594,
and in the preceding September the Re.
publican vote for Governor was but tribe
less. In September, 1887, it was reduced
to II, 1,e14. The Republicans, however, are
making most thorough canvass this month
to bring their majority to the old standard.

How TO GROW LARGE VEGETABLES
1t is hard for cultivators in general to save
seed from their earliest berries or vegeta
bles; yet vast increase Of food may be
obtained by managing judiciouslY, and
systematically carrying out for time the
principle of saving the earliest and best Of
each crop.
Take, for instance, a pea, plant it il
very rich ground; allow it to bear the frs
year say half dozen pods only, remove
all others save the largest single pea o.
these, SOW it the next year, and retain o.
the produce three pods only; sow the lar
gest on the following year, and retain
pod; select the largest again, and mex
year. The sort will by this time have
trebled its size and weight. Ever after
ward SOW the largest seed; and by these
means you will get peas, or anything else
of size you could formerly have had nc
conception of.

AT A TURNING POINT.
As Thomas Bent was walking alcr

As Thomas Bent was walking along the
street one day, hesaw gentleman. drops
purse upon the walk. Thomas quickly
picked it up, slipped it very slyly into hil
pocket, and walked on, saying to himself
"I'm lucky fellow! This purse feels q
if there was q good lot of money in it
Hurrah for Tom Bent!" d. is5s%% -
Just then, the boys conscience woke N
and whispered, "What are you going to Dc
with that pursel It is not yours. If you
keep it, you will be thief. Remember the
Eighth commandment-'Thou shalt moi
steal.'" %lsE-.s, s.. So,
Thomas paused moment to think. Then
with flashing eyes, he ran after the gentle
man, and handing him the purse, said; "lt
you please, sir, you dropped your purse
Here it is."
"You are an honest boy" said the man
as he took the purse, and smiling pleasant
ly, handed him FIVE shilings.
Thomas walked home, feeling happy in
deed, as he had good reason to do. He had
escaped great danger. When he picked
up that purse he was standing at pom,
where two roads mct-one was the path o1
the thief, the other of the honest man. i
he had kept the purse he would have en-
tered the first path,. and most likely have
landed at last in prison by restoring it h
entered the way Of honesty and right: s.
You see, he was at a turning point in hi'
life, and he turnedit safely. Happy Thos
Bent. s..-sss..-
Children, you now see what aturnine
point is. Whenever. you are met by
strong temptation to do wrong act, yor

ton conquer you, and you will find youi
selves in the wrong road. Conquer tht
temptation, and your feet will stand IN
the right way. Look out for turning

SPARE MOMENTS AND LITTLE THINGS
Great men learn very little of what the
world admires them for knowing, during
what is called their educational course" "
They are men who are constantly obser-
wing little things and great things passing
around them, and they remember what they
observe. They take advantage, too, of
spare moments to pick up information from
any books which happen within reach. This
being constantly on the alert wherever you
may be, constantly exercising the mind and
the memory, is the secret Of success in this
direction. Direct and laborious study, it
one has time, is Of course essential; but it
is the constant accumulation of little things
and small parts of great things which give
the grandest results.

MARRIAGE MAXLMS.

A good wife is the greatest earthly bles'
sing. A man is what wife makes him
1t is the mother who moulds the character
and destiny of the child. " -.
Make marriage matter of moral judg'
ment.
Marry into family which you have long
known. 49,
Never talk at one another either alone
or in company.
Never both manifest anger at once.
Never speak loud to one another, unless
the house is on fire.
Never reflect on past action, which was
done with good motive and with the best
Judgment at the time.
Let each one strive to yield oftenest to
the wishes of the other.
Let self.obligation be the daily aim and
effort of each.
The very nearest approach to domestic
felicity on earth is in the mutual cultiva.
ton of an absolute unselfshness.
Never find fault, unless it is perfectly
certain that fault has been committed
and even then preclude it with kiss and
lovingly.
Never taunt with past mistake. :
Neglect the whole world besides, rather
than one another.
Never allow a request to be repeated.
81 forgot is never an acceptable excuse
Never make remark at the expense ol
the other. It is meanness.
Never part for a day without loving
words to think of during absence; besides.
it may be, that you will not meet again in
Life.
