DEHOCRATIC VICTORIES IN THE VIRGINIA
STATE ELECTIONS.

THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Louisville, May 26.-The State Demo-
cratic Convention assembled here to-day
and was called to order by Isaac Cald-
well, of Louisville, Chairman of the State
Central Committee. Willis B. Machen,
ex-United States Senator, was made tenn
porary chairman, and Gen. Lucius Desha
permanent President Hon. Isaac Cald-
well, of Louisville, and Gen. John S.
Williams, of Mt. Sterling, were chosen
electors for the State at large. Twelve
nominations for delegates to represent
the State at large at st. Louis, were made
and Henry Watterson, of Louisville, Col.
w. G. P. Breckenridge, of Lexington,
Hon. Willis B. Machen, of Lyon county,
and Hon. John NJ. Rice, of Lawrence
county, were elected to fill the four posi-
tions. The platform adopted contained
among other declarations the following
That in view of the present distressed
condition of the country, we declare that
we favor the immediate and uncon-
ditional repeal by Congress of the act o.
January 18th, 1875, commonly kncwn as
the Resumption Act, but in order that
our opinions on subject of such grave
importance may not be misunderstood,
we also declare that, regarding gold and
silver as true basis for currency,
specie payments should be resumed at
the earliest time at which it can be done
without detriment to the commercial
and industrial interests of the people !;
that we demand that labor shall be re-
lieved from the oppressed burden of a
protective tariff by the adoption of a
tariff for revenue only; that the delega-
tion from this State to the st. Louis Con-
vention is hereby directed to cast its vote
as a unit upon all questions comiug be-
fore the convention and having full
confidence in the ability and patriotism
of our delegates, we leave them unin-
structed and pledge the Democracy of
Kentucky to support the nominees select
ed by the convention.
It is not ascertained with certainty how
the delegation stands as to the Presiden-
tial candidates, but the overwhelming
vote cast for Mr.. Watterson and Colonel
Breckenridge, pronounced administrative
reformers and hard money men, is re-
garded as significant.

THE BERLIN MEMORANDUM.

/
London, May 26.-The Tines Paris
dispatch says it seems certain that offers
have been made to England, on the invi-
tation of Germany to modify the points
to which England objects in the Berlin
memorandum. England, however, has
recited her refusal to give her adhesion
to the memorandum.
tits also alleged that the French Gov
ernment on Monday addressed pro-
posal for a general conference to the otLer
five powers.
The Times correspondent also adds
off my information is correct, the gen
eral conference will deal specially with
the question of armistiCe. The necessity
for some attempt at pacifCation is so evil
dent, that many think the proposals fol
a general conference will be accepted"

official Turkish telegram reporting the
affair asserts that the insurgents were
repulsed with loss of $50 killed. Accord

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
The Electoral Vote.

The n. Y. Tribune of the 18th reviews
the situation claims that Hayes is duly
elected, and says in Oregon there is a
danger of an amusing kind. One Demo-
crat eleetor having been counted in OF
the ground of the ineligibility of a Re
publican postmaster, the Republicans
refused to act with him and he began
in solitary grandeur to fill the vacancies.
The dispatches don't state whether the
Republicans Joined in the ballot on
which Tilden received n vote, or
whether the Democratic elector in the
goodness of his heart filed the vacan-
cies with Republicans. One fact of i'm
p~ortance is that the Tilden elector has
the Governors certificate; it is not like
ly, however, to be of much service to
him.
In Vermont there was a Democratic
lunatic, who filed his protest, voted for
Tilden, signed his certificate, appointed
himself his w messenger to Washing
ton and is probably already on his iway
with the charitable design of making it
hot for congress. This episode has none
of the serious character of the Democra-
tic maneuver in Oregon. That attempt
to defeat the clearly expressed will Of
the people by the party which loudly
demands that the popular will be al
lowed expression elsewhere, lays bare
its ~grasping and INSCRIPTIONS insincer-

A man who was being examined for
a school teacher in Maine, after stumb-
ling through some simple arithmetical
problem, was asked where Boston is.
He answered, 81 know all about it,pro-
badly just as well as you do; have heard
of the place several times, but can't
somehow or other, seem to locate it."
With a view of helping him out the COM

CREMATION.
Interesting Details Of a Successful Expert
ment Pittsburg, Pa.

ment Pittsburg, Pa.
The process of cremating the body of
the late Baron De Palm, at DR.. Le-
moyne's crematory, at Pittsburg, Pa,
was successfully accomplished last
Wednesday morning. The body was
taken from the coffin and wrapped in
white cloth. The viscera had been re-
moved, the cavities being filed with a
mixture of c~rystalized carbolic acid and
potters clay. At 1927 am. DIR. Le-
moyne and DR.. Acale, of Pittsburg, H.
]. Newton and Col. Alcott, the two
latter the Baron's executors, carried the
body to the mouth of the retort. Col.
Alcott put on the body myrrh, cessna,
~frankincense and cinnamon, the wind
ing sheet was saturated with an alum
solution, and all was ready. The body
was on a wire cradle, which, when in
the %retort, raised it about two inches
from the bottom of the retort. The
door was opened and as the body slid in
a fume of smoke from the burnt ever
green's rose from the body. A fainter
odor of burning flesh prevailed in the
building, but no unpleasant feature ap-
peared. and the process was pronounced
a success, in every particular. Obser-
vations every ten minutes, disclosed
the fact that the remains had rapidly
shrunken in size, and passed away in
vapor and gases. At the end of thefirst
hour the bones crumbled, and the out
line of the form was lost. At the end
of the second hour the body was greatly
reduced in size, the larger bones and
ribs only being visible, and would ap-
parently crumble at the slightest touch.
At 10:45 the cremation crib was moved
back in the retort two inches, and the
whole mass crumbled. Col. Alcott then
pronounced the incineration ended and
complete in two hours and twenty min
utes. After the retort had cooled, the
ashes were collected and placed in an
urn, provided for that purpose.

Hayes Elected.

The New York Times of the 18th in
slant, prints the following prominently:
Hayes and Wheeler have received the
185 votes necessary to an election. Sew
eral attempts were made to defeat the
will of the people, notably in Louisiana,
South Carolina and Oregon; bribery
was the method employed in the two
former States, and a conspiracy, which
must fail of its object, was the method
resorted to in the last named State. In
Florida the concurrence of the Demo-
crat member of the board seems to have
been something of a surprise to the visit
ing Democrats. In South Corolina the
two chief events of yesterday were the
meeting of the Republican electors and
the decision of the Supreme Court that
Wallace was legally elected speaker of
the Lower House of the Legislature.
What the Democrats propose to do is
not known. Our dispatch from Wash
ington shows the mistake they made in
trying to set up a separate House. They
can do nothing now in conformity to
law. In New Orleans the chief event
was the meeting of the electors and the
statement publicly made by n of its
members, that he had been offered
100000 to vote for Tilden. An at
tempt was also made to buy one of the
Republican electors of South Carolina
for s10,0 900; both attempts failed, and
the votes of the men who had been
thus approached were cast for the man
they had been elected to vote for.

but by breaking God's laws man has
brought disease upon himself. The worst
of these are throat and lung difficulties.
Our climate Is very ehangeable, and Of
course every one is more or less liable to
colds, coughs and throat difficulties, which,
If not attended to at once, very often prove
serious and hasten their victims to the
grave. Now, it stands us in hand to guard
against these diseases When God made
man he breathed into his nostrils, not his
mouth. the breath of life, intended he
should always breathe 30. How is it to-
day. Every person who is troubled with
these diseases breathes through his mouth.
Is 1t any wonder then that we have 30
much catarrh and throat and lung difficult
ties. There is nothing better for throat
and lung difficulties than Kendall's Pee
tcral Balsam. Now, IL any Of you have
weak lungs, coughs, colds or any disease
of the throat and lungs, if you will stop
breathing through your mouth and take
