The CINCINNATI NOMINEES.

The result of the Cincinnati CoDven-
ton. as announced in our dispatches
yesterday, has astonshed the country.
On the seventh ballot, when Blaine had
almost reached the goal Of his ambl-
ton, and was distancing all compel
itors ia the race, the whole force of
Morton and Conkliog and a brigade
of Rristow men united to crash him,
aud the vote resulted in 3S4 for Hayes,
;}3l for Blaine, and Al for Brlstow.
The great Maine politician, the
acknowledged leader of the Republi-
ran party, the able exponent of its new
principles and by far the strongest tnan
IN the Convention, was ingloriously
defeated, by r. +. Hayes, of Ohio,
whose greatest achievement was the De-
feat of Aliens rag baby last fall. For
Vice President, William A. Wheeler,
of New York, was nominated or the
first ballot. The selection of man
without record, save that he was
defeated by Allen for Governor Of
Ohio, on a square issue. and that he
succeeded subsequently in defeat
ing Allen, when the latter be-
came the champion OF the in
hation humbug, speaks volumes against
the Republican party. The record of
its public men is 80 stained with cor
ruption that even its representatives in
convention dare not place the names
of its recognized leaders on the Presi-
Dental ticket The nomination
created no enthusiasm among the peo-
pie or the party. They were coldly re-
ceived in every part Of toe Union, and
with such a man as Uncle Sam Tllden,
of New York, who is thoroughly identi-
fed with reform, Hayes and Wheeler
will be sent to meet Blaine at the polls
next November

THE CINCINNATI PLATFORM.

First The United States of America
is nation. not a league. BY the COM
bined workings of the Nationa! State
Government, under their respective
constitutions, the rights of every citi-
zen are secured at home and protected
abroad, and the common welfare pro-
NOTED.
Second-The Republican party has
preserved these Governments to the
one hundred,h anniversary Of the Ma
tons birth, and they are now embodi-
ments of the great truths spoken at its
cradle that all men are created equal;
that they are endowed by the Creator
with certain inalienable rights among
which are life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness; that for the attainment of
these ends governments have been in
stitutea among men; deriving their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erDsd, and until these truths are cheer

and widows, and by the appointment
and election of women to educatlon"l,
charities and other trusts. The honest
demand of this class Of citizens for al
diliohal rights. privileges aud immunl-
ties should be treated With respectful
consideration.
Thirteenth. The Constitution con-
fers upon Congress sovereign power
over the Territories of the United State
for their government, and in the exer-
else of this power il is the right and
duty OF Con ress to prohibit and extri-
pate in thu Territories that relic OF
bafbarisn, polygamy, and we demand
such legislation as shall secure this end
aud the supremacy OF American insti-
tutions in all the Territories.
Fourteenth. The pledges which the
nation has given TO our soldiers and
sailors must be fulfilled The grea.
peorle will always hold those who
periled their lives for their country s
preservation in the kludest remem-
brauce.
Flfteenth--We sincerely depreca:e
al! sectional feelings aud tendencies.
We, therefore. note with deep soiIcitude
that the Democratic party counts as Its
chief hope Of success on the electoral
vote of the South. We invoke the
earnest attention Of the county to the
grave truth that suecess thus achieved
would reopen sectional strife aud inn
peril our national honor and human
rights.
Sixteenth. We charge the Democrat
lie party as being the same In character
aud spirit as when 1t sympathized with
treason; with making It's control Of the
House Of Representatives. the triumph
and the opportunity Of the nation S re-
cent foes; with rgasserting and append
Ing at the national capital the sentiments
Of uurepented rebellion; with sending
Union soldiers to the rear and promot-
lug Confederate soldiers to the trout;
with deliberately proposing TO repudlG;e
the phghted faith Of the Government;
with being equally false aud im6eeiie
upon the oyershadowiog Of the euds OF
justice by It's partisan management
end obstruction Of investigation; with
proving itself through the peuod OF
ascerdancy in the lower house of Con
gress, utterly incompetent to administer
the Government. We warn the country
against trusting party thus alike un-
worthy. recreaut and Incapable.
Seventeenth--Ih he National Admin
istratiou merits communication for it's
honorable work in the management OF
domestic and foreign affairs, and Priest
dent Grant deserves the continued and
hearty gratitude Of The American peo-
pie, for his patriotism aud immense
service in war aud in peace.

GERMAN WIVES.

The culinary art forms a part of the edu-
cation of the women in Germany. The we'll
TODD tradesman, like the mechanic, takes
pride in seeing his daughters good house
keepers. To effect this object the girl, on
leaving school, which she does when she is
about fourteen years of age, goes through
the ceremony of confirmation, and then is
placed by her parents with a country gentle
man, or in a large family where she remains
one or two years, filling what may also
be called the post of servant, or doing the
work of one. This is looked upon as an APP
premiership to domestic economy. She diff
fers from a servant, however, in this-she
receives no wages on the contrary, her pa
rents often pay for the care taken of her, as
well as her clothing. This is the first step
in her education as housekeeper. She next
passes, on the same conditions, into the
kitchen of a rich private family, or into to
that of a hotel of good repute. Here she
has control of the expenditures, of the ser
wants employed in 1t, and assists personally
in the cooking, but is always addressed as
Miss, and is treated by the family with
deference..and consideration. Many daugh-
tiers of rich families receive similar training,
with this difference, however, that they re-
ceive it in a princely mansion or a royal resi-
dence. There is a reigning queen in Ger
many at the present time who was trained
in this way. Consequently, the women in
Germany are perfect models of economy

A JURYMAN O

C~hief-Justiee Parsons used to say that elo-
quence was an unfortunate gift for a lawyer,
as it prejudiced the jury against him, and
thus hindered his success. A jury will de-
termine beforehand that an eloquent pleader
shall not hoodwink them, Or exercise a mas
terry over their minds; consequently they
set themselves to resist the power of his per-
suasion. Judge Parker used to tell a capt.
tai anecdote, in confirmation of Judge Par
sons opinion.
When Parsons was a young lawyer, he
was retained to argue IN important case in
a Maine court. He was unknown to the
people, and even to the lawyers. Parker
had heard of him as a rising man, and was
drawn to the courtroom by curiosity to
learn the secret of his power. Parsons be-
gan his plea by putting one foot in a chair j;
then, leaning mi elbow on his knee, he
talked to the jury as a man would tell a
story at his fireside. "Pretty soon thought
| understood him, !" said Parker. "He was
winding the jury round his fingers. He
treated the case as if it were a very simple
affair, of which the conclusion was obvious
and inevitable; and he did not talk long.
He got a verdict at once and after the Jury
were dismissed, one of them, whom I hap
pened to know, came to me and said,-
"Who is this Mr.. Parsons? He isn't
much Of a lawyer, and don't talk Or look as
if he ever would be one but he seems to be
| a real good sort of a man.,

HOW TO MAKE

"Sunsnine! why, we have plenty of that
every day." says a dear little friend at my
side. 2@
Yes, we certainly have plenty'of it out
side of us, and it is the most beautiful thing
in the world, because it makes everything
pleasant hat it looks upon. Do the young
people who read this paper ever think how
beautiful and how useful the sunlight is !?
How it wraps the world in its bright mantle,
till the earth's old heart grows warns and
young again, and the grass and flowers
spring forth ? How it wanders all over the
world, into every nook and corner, with its
cheerful smile? How it chances in the trees
and plays through the thick branches, till
the little birds twitter and MARBLE with de-
light IN their leafy nests?
But it is another kind Of sunshine / mean
we are to make. Your own heart is the
sun, and your home is the little world which
you are to fill with happiness
Rocky Mountain husbandman. [volume] (Diamond City, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1876-06-08

Do you suppose the sun ever sees anything
dark with that great, bright eye of his?
why, no; for the moment he looks at any
thing it grows bright, and nothing can be
dark where he is looking. just so, if you
always carry a heart full Of sunshine with
you, everything will seem beautiful and
bright. But if your own heart gets cloud
ed with impotence or discomfort, you will
find the pleasantest place on earth very
gloomy and disagreeable.
How different would our life be, IL we
were only determined, in spite of discour-
agements, to be cheerful and happy our
sleeves, and to add, by every possible means,
to the welfare and happiness of all those
around us!
But can every one be happy who wishes
it? Surely, every one desires happiness;
then why do so many fail in the attempt TO
gain itg
Because they do not try in the right way.
Our only way to be happy is the one in
which God is happy, and that is by being
good and doing good. Those who earnestly
try this, never fail of success.
"But can euery one be good ~ says my
little friend, thoughtfully, and with down
cast eyes.
Yes, dear, every one can be good, by the
help of God, who willingly gives the help
of His Spirit to all who sincerely ask for it.

Of noble thoughts.
Good repute is like the cypress, once

A true friend is distinguished in the cri-

soul and the loyalty Of his heart.
If men were stubborn just in proportion
as they were right, stubbornness would take
her seat among the virtues; but men are
generally stubborn Just in proportion as
they are ignorant and wrong.
Faith and works are the two oars of a
boat. Row with the right hand alone, and
the boat describes a useless circle on the wa

merely goes in the opposite direction. But
use both oars with equal force, and it moves
swiftly and evenly forward.
ALI our MORNINGS are so many arrows
shot at Coo Himself, and they will return
upon our own hearts ; they reach not Him,
but they will hit us they hurt not Him, but
they will wound us; therefore, it is better
to be mute than murmur it is dangerous to-
provoke a consuming fire.
A soul cannot have a good look, nor
hear a good word from Heaven, but Satan

exercises towards poor souls ; he murmurs

Hurricane Experience.

A LETTER from Key West, giving
the experiences of the United States
steamer Ossippee in the storm of the
10Th and Goth of October, says "The
men, in getting about the deck to
attend to their duties, were thrown
violently from their feet, and blinded
by the salt spray, and were obliged to
go cropping about asif they were in total
darkness. They could only stick to
their stations by the most desperate
struggling against the matches, graf
ing, doors, deck-buckets, and many
other articles, that were being swept
back and forth acrossthe decks by
the rushing of the water as the ship
rolled and tossed. Breathing was
difficult, and the air taken into the
lungs was so sea-salts that it caused
excessive irritation, producing violent
coughing and vomiting. The suffer-
ing of the men was most intense,
especially among the firemen and
cOal-heavers, who were not only de-
prived of ventilation, but obliged to
enhale the salt water steam produced
by the sea rushing into the fire room.
1t was then thought advisable to en-
courage the men by the use of slim.
ulants. The surgeon found sufficient
quantity to give all hands "tot,
each, and sent it into the cabin to be
distributed, The effect of the storm
on the animals on board was peculiar.
The cats disappeared the morning
before the storm, and were not seen
for five days afterward. The dog,
Daniel, splendid pointer, owned by
the Captain. exhibited the greatest
dread at being left alone and was
only appeasedI when some one was
petting him. The hens and turkeys,
usually the most hungry and voracious
and quarrelsome beastf on board,
forgot their hunger, and barely opened
their eyes when food was thrown to
them. Two birds, bobos. speciesIo f
Pelican. came on board while we were
living in the vortex. They must have
been drawn down while attempting to
fly over us. The parrot was the only
thing on board that seemed at all to
enjoy the surroundings
The storm commenced on the 18th,
and lasted twenty-six hours, and was
intensity violent. The seas made clean
sweeps over the vessel, and the sailors
suffered severely. She lost her fore
and main-top gallant-mast, and much
personal properly was destroyed.

Forced Verdicts.

"HUNG iuries" have hard road to
travel in Philadelphia. The men i'm
paneled to try libel case there the
othdr day failed to agree, and the
Judge kept them locked up for week,
although it must have been perfectly
clear to the jurors themselves within
an hour or two after the case was given
to them that an agreement was impoS-
sible. The occurrence suggests very
grave doubts as to the quality of the
Justice that is ordinarily extracted
from Jurors by imprisonment at the
hands of obstinate judges. A verdict
agreed upon under pressure OF the
hreat of continued confinement is
mockey of the name; for some man or
men, sworn to make true deliverance
accorning to his or their understand
ing of the law and the evidence, must
violate that oath in surrendering fixed
convictions for the sake of agreement.
And the Judge who refuses to dismiss
jurors after they have had reasonable
time for the consideration of the evil
dence and have arrived at diverse con-
illusions concerning it, is apparently
guilty of an attempt to make them
perjure themselves for the sake of re-
gaining liberty.

Ivy on House Walls.

''There is a popular belief, says the
American architect and Building News,
'that ivy growing upon building rem
ders it damp and unhealthy, which is
quite unreasonable in fact, if a wall,
particularly north wall, be damp,
the best treatment is to plant English
ivies at its base {; for not only does the
dense foliage of the plant keep out
rain, but its aerial roots absorb the
moisture already in the wall. The
real mischief done by ivy is to old
buildings of stone or brick, from
whose joints the mortar has been dis
lodged. An ivy-shoot once lodged in
one of these crevices will grow in bulk
until in the course of years it has so
pressed the joints apart that the ma
sonry can be dislodged by any strong
vibration of the building.
