The 81. Louis Convention makes haste

The ST. Louis Convention makes haste
slowly. Very little real telling work
has yet been done. 1t is presumed that
they viii get fairly down to hard pan
this afternoon and evening. The DELE
gates are quite as much divided and
undivided among themselves on the
candidates as the Republicans were at
Cincinnati; and more SO on the platform.
But appearances now indicate that all
these differences will be harmonized, SO
that no split, bolt, or backwater will IN
serfere with the running Of the Demo.
cratic machine. At this present writing
the prospect is fair for Tilden, doubtless
tire strongest name before the Conyen-

Stuffed Pig.

A book might be written of the
humors of the Centennial. Some
of them drift into the papers, but
not all. In the agricultural hall
there are two immense hogs stuffed,
each bearing placard telling their
age and weight, and with the name
of the man who prepared them for
exhibition, followed by the word
"taxidermist." A man and his wife
were looking at these with great
interest. After reading the pla-
cards, the woman said: "Why
these are taxidermists, 1 thought
they were hogs" Her husband
looked at the creatures with puz-
zled expression, and then went
carefully over the placards, as if
to satisfy himself fully on the point.
Finally he replied: "They are
hogs. Taxidermist is the name of
the place they come from"

After Many Years.

Down by the seaside, in one of
the most picturesque regions of
Maryland, there stood, long ago, a
beautiful cottage, with messy roof,
and vine-covered porch. 1t was
the home of an aged couple, whose
heads were snowy white, and whose
brows were marked with deep lines
of suffering.
One lovely evening in early June,
many years ago, the two were seat
ed in the doorway, their thoughts
busy with other years. A strange
quiet seemed to have fallen upon
this peaceful abode. The birds
had carroled their last good night /;
the drowsy chirp of the cricket
had ceased, and the soft breeze up
on which hoated the faint, sweet
perfume of the honey-suckle,
scarcely stirred a leaf of the grove
surrounding the house. The two
were thinking, as they sat in the
calm twilight, of the time when,
ten long years before, they had
watched the departure of the good
ship Marian, which carried upon
her deck their only son. That new
er-to-be forgotten scene rose vivid
Iy before their eyes. They seemed
TO see again the stately ship, bound
ing gracefully away upon the bill
lows, and hear once more their
boys cheerful "Never fear for me
only a few months, and | shall re-
turn"
Alas his "few months" had |
dragged into many years. The
rumor of a terrible stork had |
reached them, and it was feared /
that the sea had closed forever over
the helpless crew, for Of the gallant
ship nothing more was overheard,
and their boy had never come back.
And since O the dreary days,
and wakeful nights which followed
They were ever weeping and sigh
ing for the "touch Of vanished
hand" Their hearts were sorely
and they could not teach
their lips to say "Thy will be DONE"
AS the sound of the far off
church bells came to their ears, and
, ,oused them from their reverie,
he wife slowly rose, went to her
and laid her hand car {
on bis arm.
"My husband" she said in a
Iuiyeriny voice, something seems {

A man ont in Montana, a shor
time ago, squatted on another per
sons land and built small frame
shanty. When requested to re-
move, he positively refused to dc
so: so one night a squad of mer
came around, after the squattel
and his wife were asleep, and lift
the whole concern, shanty and all,
with deliberate care, carried it to
the river and set it on a small raft.
Then they pushed the raft out into
the stream and let her go. When
the squatter got up in the morning
to go out, he was surprised to find
himself about sixty miles down
stream, and making good time in a
nine-knot current. This is all we
shall say about that man. 1t would
be extremely improper to report
remarks in full in this paper.
