Nellie is Nobody In England.

The following Is taken from Lon
don letter to the New York Graphic:
I hope that no expectations were en-
tertained in the United States con-
cerning honors to be paid to the
Presidents daughter on her arrival
here as Mrs. Sartoris. The papers
recorded the fact other marriage in
a paragraph of five or six lines, but
no mention has been made of her ar
rival with her husband in England.
In fact the opinion seems to be that
that the young lady made a misalli-
ance, and has placed herself at a
great disadvantage. As Miss
Grant, the daughter of an American
President, she was welcomed here
by the swells and received by the
Queen; but as Mrs. Sartoris, the
wife of an English civil engineer,
she is nobody. I scarcely know
whether she can be presented at
court. 1t is to be hoped that she
will not be made unhappy by the
change which her marriage has
wrought in her position.

THE STATE TICKET
From State Register.]

The usual task of party editor is
superfuous this year. The gentle
man chosen as the Republican State
ticket are all 80 well and so popular
ly known over Iowa that any set or
elaborate introduction of them is un-
necessary and is made here simply
because it is the custom. There is
not one obscure or unknown man
upon ticket. There is upon it Meth.
er light weight nor dead weight.
Even in Iowa, where the party has
always chosen its candidates with 80
much care, aud exaoted of all nomi-
nees as the condition of their selec-
ton unchallenged worth and un-
questioned record, there has never
before been so long ticket made up
of such absolutely unexceptionable
and such really capable material.
The remark was common after the
adjournment of the Convention that
it was the strongest ticket which had
ever been chosen in the State. For
it is not only superior in the choice
of strong men and true men, but it is
also strong in that it is so admirably
balanced as to the home popularity
and geographical location of the diff
ferent candidates. There is not a
single person among the candidates
who will not run ahead of his ticket
in his own county, thus receiving
the best commentator any man can
have that of his own neighbors, and
through such home endorsement ad
ding TO the most certain success of
the whole ticket. The Convention
selected its men not merely for Ca
pacity and integrity. 1t chose those
who had beside their essential quail.
ties that Of personal and magnetic
popularity, men who are trusted by
the people as exceptions among
men. In the case of all the candi-
dates is this assertion true.
The denomination of Mr.. Young
for Secretary of State, and Captain
Christy for Treasurer, without vote
or a voice raised against them, and
by the hearty acclaim of the party,
show better than words can the
worth of the men and their popular
ity as public officials. These gentle
men receive their first nominations
largely from the endorsement OF
their home people, where both had
been tried and fonnd capable and
true. State service has added to
their local popularity an Iowa popu.
larity, and their unanimous return to
the ticket of the party is verdict Of
State approval, which in these times
of rigid scrutiny and unsparingjudg-
ment, is an honor of supreme com
pliment. As Republicans these
gentlemen have been with and Of
the party from its birth. Both were
soldiers during the war. Both had
gallant records. Their denomination

pany he Is ln, and that Is saying
much. OF the younger men of the
Republican party none has gained
better name or better fame in the
State or among the people. In his
own profession, too, he has risen
early to rank, and holds the position
alike by the gift of native strength
and the force of superior culture.
From boyhood a close student he
has well improved every opportuni-
ty, and trusted never to fortune. A
graduate of Amherst College, he is
also a graduate of the academy OF
every day experience and of daily
routine of the business world, As a
lawyer, as we have said, he has ear
ly gained prominence, and as o
member of one of the leading law
firms of the State. During the last
sessions of the United States Courts
in Des M Dimes, the arguments made
by Mr.. Runnells in some of the i'm
portant cases were | ronounced as
being among the finest delivered
during the term. On the tribune or
stump he is an orator second to none
we have in Des Moines, and he Is
hardly second as speaker in the
State. We say this from what we
have seen OF him locally, confident
that he will in the coming canvass
prove himself worthy OF such dis
| tinction. No one who knows him
doubts his qualifications as a Repor-
ter. Tn addition to his requirements
as a lawyer, his experience as a
Journalist will prove of service to
him in work reportorial. His home
popularity was well attested by the
fact that the two factions in the Re.
publican party in this county and
district labored with equal zeal for
his nomination. His name can con.
tribute much to the ticket, and his
service in the campaign will add to
it and to the success and power oi
the party still more.

A Rough Guess.

Little Johnny B., of Fourteenth

church yesterday. His mother was
afraid he would make noise, but
his father said, "Johnny knows bet.
ter than to make noise in church."
So he want. He kept very still till
the last prayer. BY that time he
had grown tired sitting still, and was
standing on the pew.cushion with his
back to the pulpit. When the lady
in the next pew bowed her head for
prayer. Johnny thought she was
crying. He leaned over and said to
the lady in tone that was meant
for whisper, but which was only
too plainly heard "Poor lady

LIGHT AND SHADOW.

Life lie not all one shadowless day of glory,
Life Is not ell one lightless night of gloom;
Checkered forever is our human story,
Checkered the time of fallow, time of bloom,
Sun never rose that did not cast shade,
Before, behind, oblique on either side;
Light were not light, If darkness lent not aid,
By darkness only light is denied.
Night never fell, engulfng in it's blackness
Lost creatures, but some little candle threw
Long light upon the path, to spread the slacknes
or hopeless footsteps that have lost their cine.
So light and shadow weave their mingled web,
Be life at highest flood or lowest ebb.

The Recovery of Industry and Trade

The New York Bulletin is surprised at the temper with which our people endure the present temporary com rnercial dullness. We are now in the midst of convalescent process. '' '.|}s. ' The restoration cannot be instan- taneous .(the editor says);s but it is not therefore the less certain. The actual recovery will consist in the full em- ployment of the labor of the country in useful production. But certain things can be realized x Fk*t x * The owners of the capital must be sat- isfied that prices and wages have touched the nnininnm.A Merchants must feel convinced that there is to be no further shrinkage in values before they are willing to carry an average stock of fgoods. Bankers must feel sure that their customers are able to endure until the recovery is completed before they will discount and grant credits to the usual extent sand such assurance they can acquire only after long obser- vation and evidence. ...-----.--.- Men of business do not appear will ing to wait until the various parties l whose cooperation is needful to the recovery of industry and trades have been satisfied upon these points, and they nope and moan because trade is not restored by miracle.

AacIent Sun.Dfals.

A visit to Pompeii, as also a visit to
 the Museum of Pompeian Antiquities
 at Naples, brings to notice great num-
 Der of sun-dials, which are sometimes
 ornamented very beautifully. As the division of the day into hours was in the Roman times very different from divided the day, from sunrise to sun- set, into twelve equal parts, the hours being therefore of varying length. it follows that their lstin-diala must have had very different construction from dials is concave spherical surface, worked in stone, and set to face the south. A metal pencil is fastened on the upper side of the block of marble so that it's point is precisely in the cen- ter of the sphere. The shadow of this point falls upon lines cut into the con- cave spherical surface, and shows the hours of the day. Three circles are so drawn as to show the path described by the shadow of the pencil point, at the times of the equinoxes and solstices.
 The conical sun-dial is another form known to havebeen used by the ancient Greeks, but no description of it has been preserved in, their scientific literatures Lately, however, a com plete copy of such dial has been dis covered. It consists of marble block about two inches thick, whose upper and lower surfaces are horizontal, but one of whose side surfaces is so cut that it is parallel to the equator, and is itself turned toward. the north pole. The inner surface of right conc is 80 worked into the marble block that it's base stands on the inclined side sur- face. Its axis is therefore parallel to the earth's axis. The angle at the ver- tex of the cone is equal to the latitude of the. place. HEYF{EYrt slgFE

ROhhing thA Dead.

There are men in San Francisco meaner than any who have yet distln- guished themselves in this part of the country. They sink so far below the moral standard of ordinary robbers as to rob the dead. Their headquarters is the coroner's office, and theirmethods are being brought to light by an in- vestigation. Russell Card killed him. self, and when his body was taken to the morgue it was dressed in fine clothes. On the night of his suicide Card had taken usual pains to dress himself in his best. The corpse was at the morgue few hours, and was then delivered, upon the order of Masonic Lodge, to an undertaken for burial. In these few hours the good clothing had entirely disappeared. and when the undertaken received the remains they were naked. MT. Cards fellow Masons caused an inquiry, and the facts are coming out showing that the coroner's office is den into which the dead are systematically robbed. In one instance not only the personal effects but the real estate of dead man were seized. It is difficult to say what degree of punishment is adequate to such crimes.

Destruction In Disguise.

It is a fact that mixtures of bad liquors and acids astringents are often given for medicines. They are potent to destroy, and may be safely warranted to ruin, morally and physically, any human being that sticks to them long enough. More drunkards have been made by these villainous connections, labeled medicines, than by the liquors of commerce. Alcoholic poisons, ad- vertised as remedies, are more mischiev- ous than tavern drams. For intermittent and remittent levers, as we'll as for all other diseases which these fiery frauds are falsely certified to relieve, Dr. Wal ker's Vinegar Bitters, the ne plus ultra of vegetable medicines, is positive cure. But this is not all the great temperance elixir is sovereign specific for the depraved appetite for stimu- lants, created by the false tonics and bogus restoratives of missionaries of intemperance. Within the present year many well-known citizens have certified that course of Vinegar Bit ters invariably obliterates the desire for spirituous excitants.- Com.

GluHOnY,

A retired physician writes :sHow does it happen that amid the everlasting cry of drunkenness we never hear . word against it's sister evil-gluttony ? I think I can assert with truth that, in long practice, three have died among my patients from over eating where one has died from drink. Whence comes apoplexy, paralysis, dyspepsia, and host of other diseases, but from too muehyrich food, taken under the most imprudent: circhmstances?A P And yet we hear of no society formed to prevent this growing vice: A man eats until he drops down and expires with apoplexyjby the roadside, when up comes the coroner with jury of twelve good men and true, who pro nounce verdict, Died from intern perance." So he did; but what kind of intemperance was it2 I have heard more than one minister in the pulpit expatiate with great vehenence against the sin of drunkenness, whose very ap- pearance was proof positive that he was pre-eminently guilty of glutSony.

Grief has Killed Him.

For several weeks, says.a Philadel- phia correspondent writing of the Ross boy, it was plain to be seen that MT. Ross was in rapid decline. Your cor respondent saw him frequently, and saw with regret that anguish was weigh ing him down. He became dejected, melancholy, morbid. Soon he was con fined to his bed, where he now lies. That is not all he lies there bsreft of reason, crazed by grief. He knows nothing, remembers nothing but the loss of his boy and all the trouble that has folleYeds in it's -tEain.z At first it was thought heshad typhoid fever, but there is no fever there, nothing but a shattered frame and mental imbecility. Hesdoes not know his wife, and in the worst pafoxysr1s of his grief dfivesli her from, him, Shortly before reason en- tfrely left him he said "I can bear the loss of mypfoperty, and the loss of Charley-even that God helps me to bear-but this slander and calumny against my wife and myself-that, that is what breaks me down."

THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE.
Another Fearful Calamity In Centra
 America

Another Fearful Calamity In Central
 A Guatemala paper says of the earth quake of Sept. Sd:
 The losses suffered in the depart ments are calculated to be from $200, GOO to $250, ,0O0, including farming houses, machinery, and some thousands of storehouses in which cochineal was buried under the ruins of roof and wall. The number of victims cannot be exactly decided, because many dead bodies remained buried under the stream of mud which descended from the Oerro del Tigre. In Antigua alone thirty persons perished, the greater part being women and children It IS calculated that twenty-five bodies were buried in the other towns, and hun dred moro or less bruised and wounded. The town of Duenos is entirely ruined, with it's church, cabildo, paro-- chial ediice, and private houses. A coffee farm of Zinza, in place called La Estancia, there was an extraordi- nary promontory of mud, which had EsCerro del Tgre.- The ,promentory had ' in some places depth of one hundred feet, and was formed by those erup- tions of mud which geologists call solsas, and which generally is not 8 good sign for the bordering countries. The eruption which produced this promontory consisted of cold mud, which, although very compact, carried stones and trees, whose trunks meas oSo Io4 ko,N The government has ordered supplies A subscription is being raised in Guate- suffered by the last earthquake.

 In Patzicia more damage was done, and 100 deaths are reported. f'''
 Another dispatch from Antigua, dated September 5th, said "The President has returned from Duenos the church and cabildo had suffered most, and the farm houses in the neighborhood.

Civil Marriage in Prussia.

Obligatory civil marriage, as is known, was introduced into Prussia on the 1st of October last "The pub licadon of the banns having to pre- cede the marriage by a fortnight, and that announcement having to be made by functionaries appointed for the 'pur-
 pose under; the new law; but whose mission did not commence, until the list of October, the consequence is that
 no marriage can be solemnized in Prus- sia from the 1st to the 18th of October. In order to remedy this state of things, which in some special cases might have some inconvaniences, the proposal wae made that the publication of theSbanns by the ministers of the various creeds
 should be declared valid until the 18th of October."r The superior authority did not think proper to accord, that de- mand. However, dispensations may be, granted in cases in which the neces- sity of proceeding to the marriage be. fore the date fixed shall be demon: strated. li'5 5~ i> GS:Li t~s ,+g5J s'
