. The Resnlt at tfAeinnI,,ati


Horace Greeley and Gratz Brown
are the nominees put before the peo-
pie By the Liberals for President and
Vice President of the United States.
The Louisville Courier Journal in
speaking o? the convention and its
nominees, says:
In numbers, in representative
character, and in enthusiasm the
convention which has made this
ticket will rank with any that ever
assembled on the continent. Presi-
ded over BY the great Carl Schurz,
and embracing the most intellectual
and in a certain sense the most
potent clements Of the original Re
publican party, it invites the muse E
of Democracy to its support. To
what extent material circumstances
of success may be ascribed to the
convention remains to be seen.
Fhe rcsultof its deliberations has
assuredly taken the country by sur
prise. 1t was net expected that Mr..
Greeley would be its nominee, and
tie candidacy OF Mr. Greeley hav-
ing taken no serious hold upon the
consideration q thinking people, We

inclined 20 think that theDemocracy

of that positive kind-the road be-
fore us is. not of that assured and
open description render our ac-
lions perfectly clear in advance.
We commit the question, therefore.
to those whose business &c is to de
termine the actiou0f the Democracy
as an organization. They must de
eide it. The National Democratic
Committee meets in New York next
"Wednesday, and it will and ought to
call q National Democratic Con-
vention. That body will finally
settle the point and IN Kentucky
we have Rething 70 do but wait upon
its action, holding our local ornani-
zation, in the meantime, wei Ia

Red Tape,

Last Thursday morning Carries Fran
cis Adams arrived ia-Washington, ard
took rooms at The Arlington. His visit
was not unexpected, inasmuch as itswas
knowhzto the Secretary of State that he
would reach New York on the goth or
21st OF February, and message awaited
his arrival, requesting him to come to
Washington without delay.
After breakfast he rode out to the
State department, and, entering the hall
shortly after nine o'clock, was informed
by the veteran guardian Of that part of
this department, a lineal descendant: of
long line of Irish kings, that it was
Thursday, the day set apart for the re-
ception by the Secretary of diplomats
only. r.
"But," said the visitor, "my name is
Adamssn < 49,
"I ann sorry, Mr.. Adams" promptly
replied sthe royal jani,or, "bnt my in
structions are such that l cannot take
your card to the Secretary if you are
not q representative of one OF the lega-
tions."Es
The statesman did snot attempt to
arguezwiih the janitor He merely asked
thatShe should say to secretary Fish that
Charles Francis Adams was at the Ar
lington. AT the mention of the given
name the .ianitor suddenly remembered
whoA Charles Francis Adams was, and
very politely invited him to the room of
the Secretary without further delay,
whereihe remained toi, nearly an honr.
Ther of the Department is that no
visitors will be received after halfpast
two o'clock. Fifteen minutes after this,
however, Sir Edward Thornton, the
British Minister, was confronted by the
same individual with the announcement
thatsthe hour tor receiving had passed.
Sir Edward was the bearer of the copy
OF the note of Earl Granville, and had
purposely absented himself until the last
moment, not wishing to detain those who
might have business with the Secretary
requiring but a few minutes considera-
ftion. His errapd he Knew. was far more
important than all the others, and would
require time. OF this the janitor knew
nothing, but when informed that the
Secretary was expecting him, reluctantly
carried his card to Mr. Fish. This,was
the day on winch the note of Earl Gran
vile was expected, and this nonappcar-
ance of the British Minister during the
hour set apart for diplomatic business
left doubt in the mind of the Secretary
/ whether his an.icipations were to be
realized. The presentation of the card
of Sir Edward Thornton dispelled the
doubt and, and this servant ofsthe De
partment was dii:ectedto SHOW him up.V
The British Minister REMAINED with the
Secretary for nearly two hours, during
which time the purport of Earl Gran
ville's note was freely discussed by the
two members of the Joint High Com
mission. y. -

| \ STARTLING CONVERSATIONAL few
days past we were startled by hearing a
conversation between two rats behind
the base board of our office. The con-
versation began thus
"Hello, Shorty"-this we learned was
nickname given to a rat that had lost
his tail in steel-trap-"I'm glad to sec
you. want you to come and help me
tonight to gnaw hole into this print
ing Office, and we'll have lots OF fun.
We can write an editorial for the next
paper"
"What would you write about, Tickle
toe 9''
"Oh, I'd write an article on cats. I'd
say that it had just been ascertained
that the bite of a cat was deadly poison,
and all persons who valued their lives
should kill their cats at once. What a
jolly time we'd have them
ala ha Well, old Ticklstoe, you
are brick, but what is there to eat in q
printing Office ?"
sob ! sometimes they leave the paste
pot in reach. One night l gnawed =
roller, but did not like the taste of the
printers ink, and the next night played
u jolly joke on the long-nosed old editor,
drank up all the ink on his table"
"Why, didn't it make you sick p
ooh, no, just swallowed some blot
ting paper, and it contradicted the effect,
as old Mrs. Partingten says"
"Then you have been IN there betore?'
"Oh, yes, had nice hole on the
other side, but the lanternjawed old
knight OF the quill stopped it up with a
whisky bottle"
"Was the bottle full ?"
"Why, you astonish me /! whisky
bottle tuil in newspaper Office ?"
"Well, never knew one to stay full
long"

APPLES. with us the use of the apple,
as an article of food, is far underated.
Besides containing a large amount of
sugar, mucilage and other nutritive mat
ter, apples contain vegetable acids, aro-
matte qualities, ETC., which act powerfully
in the capacity ofrefrigerants, tonics and
antiseptics, and when freely used at the
season of mellow ripeness they prevent
debility, Indigestion, and avert without
doubt, many of the ellis which flesh is
heihito." The operators of Cornwall,
England, copsidersripe apples nearly, as
nourishing as bread, and far more so than
potatoes. In the year 1sol-which was
year OF much scarcity--apples, instead
of being converted into cider, were sold
to the poor, and the laborerss asserted
that they could astand their work" on
baked apples without meat whereas a
potato dietrequired either meat or some
other substantial nutriment. The French
and Germans use apples EXTENSIVELY, so~do
the Inhabitants OF all European nations.
The elaborers' depend upon them as an arti-
Gle Of food. a frequently make dinner Of
sliced apples and bread. There is no fruit
cooked in as many differant ways in our
country as apples, nor is'there any fruit
whose value, as an article of nutriment,
is SO great and so little appreciated.

A correspondent of the Detroit 7]i-
bame describes az some length fearful
carse of hydrophobia, where the man
was in eonvulsions, "barking like dog
frothIng at the mouth, and making stren-
uous efforts to bite everything that came
near. During these convulsions the pa
tent would seize the pillows from his
bed in his teeth and shake and rend them
with all the seeming ferocity Of on angry
dog. An intense dread OF water also
exhibited itself. The doctors decided to
place the patient upon the same treat
mcnt which had been successful in
former ease, which, for the aid it may be
to others who suffer from this disease,
we here give, as follows: The injection
under the skin of large doses of NOR
phiue, aud the administration of large
doses of castor, which is pow
erful snti-spasmodic. About one
grain of the sulpbate of morphine was
Injected under the skin once in four
hours, and half drachm of the pow
dered castor, mixed with syrup, given
internally. The effect was to produce
sleep i'll half an hour, when the oonvul-
sions returned at intervals Of about an
hour aud half until nine o'clock Sun
day morning when the last commissions
occurred, after which he suffered severely
from obstinate vomiting until Monday,
at ten O'Clock, when that also ceased,
leaving him comparatively easy, but
much Frustrated. Since that time he
has gradually improved, and is now, 60
all appearances, quite we'll. In addition
TO the above treatment small quantities
of chloroform were inhaled at times,
and on Sunday morning the patient was
wrapped in wooden blanket wrung out
of warm solution of muriate OF amonia,
eighteen or twenty grains to the ounce.
This was the treatment which checked
this fearful malsdy, and which the doc
tors, for the sake OF humanity are anx-
ious should be published to the world
and thoroughly tested.

Freaks of the Japanese Embassy

II is hard to tell who is ambassad Or,
and who is servant, Japanese dignity be-
a peculiar species of that article, and not
the kind OF dignity that we encourage
! Besides, the "Japs" so much resemble
each other that you can hardly tell which
is which. Saturday | happened to be in
the Arlington when Mr. SheckeIs, the
clerk, received an order for q sick fnnc-
tionary's meal. lie had marked moro
than twenty fancy dishes-that is, rich
things that sick Yankee will stndiously
avoid. And he told the waiter to be
sure and bring him plenty of hard-boiled
eggs and ice cream. The other night,
about II o'clock, three or four Of them
got together in a room and ordered hard
boiled eggs and ice cream for supper.
Sheckles says they will never get around
the world it they live in other countries
as they live here. They do not seem to
eat much, but they live on the most
"outlandish" food. @
They seem to think all the hotels are
under one management, if we may judge
| from their movements. A lot of them
went into the Ebbitt House, took break
fast, aud walked of without paying or
first came they were nearly all quartered
at the Arlington. Some. went to other
hotels. Now they are scattered all over
the city, some in hotels, others in board
ing houses. Bat the principal officers OF
the embassy all stay at the Arlington.
[ was staudiug at tire Office of the Arling-
ton when an angular faced Jap came up,
with baggage on his arm, and said to
the clerk
"DIe goin' away. BE won't be here
no more"
"Where are you going - said the
clerk.
"0ie goirI to Ebbitt House." o s.
"Will you give mp your room ?"
"No; me and two ether fellows goin,'
free other fellows come from Ebbiit
House take our place"
So they 60 to the Imperial, Metropoli-
tan, Welckers, WormIy, and all over.
The hotel-keepers like it. They can
make from ten to twenty dollars average
a day out of each Jap, from Iwakura to
Hokepoke, and il will be found that the
Government will have such bills to pay
for the same Japs for the same time at
two or three different hotels. Ifany one
happens to twit them about their curious
antics, they say, one don't care me got
plenty of money, and me goin' to spend
it,"
Some Of them smoke opium almost
continuously. The chambermaids at the
hotels think sits fanny srAllin' tobacco
they smoke" They have bag full of
ivory pieces and board on which they
play game that seems to be very anus
ing 70 them. The ether evening party
got together in room and commenced
playing the game. At intervals, when
q player seemed to be checkmated, they
laughed boisterously, and went through
all sorts of performances, such as turn
ing hand-springs and standing on their
heads.
AS l remarked above it is hard to tell,
from the appearance, who are smbassa-
dors and who are followers and servants.
These eccentric freaks are probably the
diversions of the latter in all classes.

THE CORNER IN CHEESE.-The uneX-
pected corner in the cheese market has
taken the trade itself by surprise. Few
dealers were prepared, and the majority
now find themselves with little or no
stock, and are unable to get sufficient
to supply their customers, while a few
fortunate houses hold all there is in the
country. .
Estimates current in the trade give
less than 10000 cheeses in the State, dis
tributed as follows: $4,000 in New
York City, 5000 to 5000 in the canal.
and 5000 to 5000 in the State, almost
all of which is owned by the New York
dealers, against 10000 in this market a
year ago, upon l6c to l7c basis. Upon
this dealers based their expectations OF
an advance, which has been gradual, but
as vet only partly realized, zoe being
the point fixed, to which the price is to
be put, and at which exporters are offer
ing goods. ..'2 | -.
Ali inferior grades are sympathizing
in the advance, and there seems to be
little doubt that at least present prices
will be maintained until the new crop
comes upon the market, as the old stock
will be scarcely sufficient to carry the
trade till that time. However, it is ex-
pected the new crop will be in market
earlier than usual, as dairymen have
been in the habit of making butter near
ly month before putting their milk into
cheese. The higher price OF cheese and
the lower price Of butter will effectually
prevent this the present season. L,.as 81
