DISSATISFACTION.

Tie last number Of the Maryland
Union, iutimatos that considerable
dissatisfaction exists in this county,
because the County Commissioners
don't publish their advertisements in
all the payers Of the county. This is
true. We concur entirely with the
Union in opinion. Read what friend
Cole says
There can be no doubt that con
siderable dissatisfaction exists in the
county with the County Commits
sioncrs for combining the publication
of most Of their advertisements, which
concern every Taxpayer in the coun-
ty, to the Examiner and the Citizen,
which are q sort Of partnership con-
Germ to keep all they can between
themselves. The Valley Register has
spoken Of this thing heretofore, and
recently the Liberty Banner and the
CATocTIN CLAEIoN have given utter
ancc to the general dissatisfaction
which is known to prevail, and now
We simply notice the matter to say

STATE CONVENTIONS.
Making Nominations and Platforms.

and Maryland have had busy and ex-
citing times the last week in their
State Conventions. For with annual
elections come annual conventions, to
select candidates, fix up the platform,
and prepare for the fall campaign.--
Now it is 4 question whether this tin
kering at platforms is not, after all, a
good deal Of waste Of time and troub-
lie. The platform to be sure is sup
posed to embody and publish TO the
country the great principles by which
the party, ii successful, will admins
ter the government. But platforms
have been forgotten or disregarded by
victorious parties before to-day. Just
as we have known ministers to lose
sight Of the sacred text which they
set out to expound and yet make 9
very fair sermon. BE that as it may,
the two great parties have had unusu-
al trials and rerplexities this year
with certain rlagks of their platforms
We all know the trouble the Rcruh-
ljcaus had a l;ttle while ago about the

Sad Death of an Inventor.

a lamentable accident occurred at
Toulon, on July 8, by which NJ. Leon
Jacquemim, Sub-Lieutenant in the
French navy, and two men, lost their
lives. That young officer, who had
highly distinguished himself in the
service, and who fought in the campaign
of 1901 under General Faidherbe, and
received terrible wound at the battle ol
Saint Quentin, had, since his recovery,
invented projectile torpedo. This ter.
rible missile was to be fired from mortar
and to explode by simple contact with the
water The sensitive substance which
was to fire the charge is phosphuret OF
calcium, which ignites simply from the
moisture in the breath. On the day in
question the deceased was preparing one
Of the missiles for decisive experiment,
and a large number Of officers were
collected to witness the result. He, with
his two assistants, was in room Of the
arsenal completing his PREPARATION,
when suddenly a terrific report was heard,
and the building fell in a heap Of ruins.
When the rubbish could be cleared away
only few blackened scraps OF burned
flesh could be found, except the head Of
Lieutenant Jacquemim, which had es-
capped injury.

The Black Hills Miners.

Only n small per cent. of the number
of emigrants at present in the Black
Hills are experienced and skillful min
ers. This fact is surprising, considering
the wide advertisement which this re-
gion has had, and the sort of passion
which affiicts old gold hunters to try
fortune in new fields. There are now
about six hundred white men, aside
from those comprised in the Government
expedition, in the Black Hills. Four
times as many are already organized at
various towns and settlements along the
Pacific railroads and the Missouri and
Platte rivers, either moving in that di-
ton, or awaiting favorable indications
from Indian councils now holding for
the cession Of the gold country to the
Government. The majority OF these
people have been drawn from various
occupations by the enthusiasm. prevalent
throughout the States and Territories
regarding the new discoveries Of gold.
Many of them have invested their all in
an equipment suitable to the venture.
Hardly a man of substantial financial
resources can be found engaged in the
gold hunt.

How Governor Allen Looks.

A. c.. Buel, in a letter to the st. Louis
Republican, thus describes Governor Will
liam Aliens personal appearance
Governor Allen is about six feet two
inches in height, and as straight and
symmetrical to-day as he was ~heR>his
voice rang through the arches Of the old
Senate chamber forty years ago, sounding
in consonance with that of Benton for
hard money and the removal of the
deposits by Andrew Jackson. His shoul-
ders are broad and square, and above
them .ises one of the best shaped heads
in she United States, crowned with a
thick growth ofcreamy white hair, which
is kept combed and brushed as neatly as
if it belonged to some pet of the home
circle, intent upon conquest OF the
feminine heart. His face shows scarcely
a furrow, and his complexion is of that
peculiar clear red which bespeaks good
living without excess, and clear con-
science. The most remarkable of Gov
ernor Aliens features are his eyes. They
are dark blue, and, when he gets warmed
up in conversation, snap and sparkle like
the orbs of boarding-schOol miss just
out for a vacation romp. The tout
ensemble is that of fine old gentleman
who, like the good wine he always drank,
improves with age.

How Coffee Came TO be Used.

1t is somewhat singular to trace the
manner in which arose the use of the
common beverage of coffee, without
which few persons in any half or wholly
civilized country in the world now make
breakfast. At the time Columbus dis
covered America it had never been
known or used. 1t only grew in Arabia
or Upper Utopia. The discovery of its
use as Il beverage is ascribed to the Supe-
rior of monastery in Arabia, who de-
srous of preventing the monks from
sleeping at their nocturnal services, made
them drink the infusion of coffee, on
the reports of shepherds, who observed
that their focks were more lively after
browsing on the fruit of that plant It's
reputation spread through the adjacent
countries, and in about two hundred
years it had reached Paris. A single
plant, brought there in 17l4, became the
parent stock of all the French coffee
plantations in the West Indies. The
Dutch introduced it into Java and the
East Indies, and the French and Spanish
all over South America and the West
Indies. The extent of the consumption
now can hardly be realized. The United
States alone annually consumes it at the
cost, on its landing, of from fifteen to
sixteen millions of dollars.

Atmospheric Phenomena i'm Italy.

A Rome letter to the London Echo,
dated July 10, runs as follows: Padre
Secchi publishes an account of the sim
gular phenomenon which occurred at
Velletri during the violent thunder
storm of June %, and which is to be
ranked among the hitherto unexplained
caprices of nature Just as the tempest
was at its height, and the rain torrental,
six persons taking shelter in stable,
which was also occupied by three horses
harnessed to as many wine-carts, wit
messed the following extraordinary ap-
pearance: A luminous mass rose from
the threshold of the door, entered the
stable, glided from one cart to another, at
tracted, probably, by those fringes of bells
characteristic of the Roman wine-carts,
and then passed through an iron-grating
into the street. The bells rang, the
horses plunged, a woman and man felt
a certain giddiness, but no accident hap
pened. Outside the stable carpenter,
at his shop-door, saw the luminous mass
(Which some of the witnesses compared
to fiery club as thick as mans ARM
issue from the grating, strike the pave
ment, and disappear in dazzling flash.
However, the meteor visited several
portions of the large house with which
the stable was connected, flew through
large chambers, blackening slightly Il
gilt cornce in one, and scratching frag-
ments Of plaster in another. Strangest
of all, this extraordinary visitor, after
completely destroying the new ceiling of
Kitchen
danced round a woman who was stand
ing at table. She described the meteor
us fiery serpent, which she first saw
standing upright on the floor, within two
metres distance OF her. Then it flew
toward her, whirling several times round
her knees with great velocity. She felt
sudden blow on the head and fell to
the ground; but the husband, who saw
the whole apparitiOn, on rushing to what
he supposed was the corpse of his light
ning-destroyed wife, found that she was
only stunned little. On recovering she
complained of pain in the scalp, and her
hair had become and remains dry and
rigid. After this last caprice the meteor
disappeared and from the quantity of
SCOT which fell from the chimney, it is
supposed to have found vent in that di-
rection. 1t was accompanied by loud
detonation, but whether on its first ap-
pearance, or when it vanished, no one
can say. These details are gathered
from letter written to Padre Secchi,
from the Meteorological Observatory at
Veletri, and published in the VOce deita
Teita, of July 9. After this one may
believe that Tranquil really did see a
"lambent flame" play around the head
of Servius Tullus in his cradle; nor can
the tale of the stars, playing on the river
Moldeau, on the Prague, over the body
of st. Jean Nepomus, be so certainly set
down as pious fancy of the Middle
Ages, unsupported by natural phe-
