Yesterdays Bellnire Convention.

Col. Geo. McCook, OF Stenbenville, did
not sec his way clear to become the can
didate Of the Democratic Congressional
Convention held nj Bellaire yesterday
lie was very emphatic in declining u
nomination, aud 80 fully convinced the
members Of his sincere foreboding OF de-
fen, that they did not venture to press
him further.
The Belmont delegates seemed inclined
to be coquettish. At first they had no
name to present. Then they withdrew
for consultation and conceived the idea
Of capturing McCook for n candidate,
an when McCOOk would not be captured
they remembered that Ross Alexander
would be agood subject for slaughter. But
Ross, while he would give his head for n
seat in Congress, or even for chance to
lead forlorn hope in the shape OF a nom
inutiOn, saw, as the ballot progressed,
that he was not the coming man, even for
nomination, and SO made haste TO get
out Of the way and leave the track clear
Tor the Hon. VIM. Lawrence, Of Guernsey
county, who was finally nominated as
Capt. Danforls competitor. -,
Mr. Lawrence Is a man OF considerable
ability. He has been in Congress once
the 35th) and has also served in the
Ohio Legislature. He was o Presiden-
tial EIector in his district MS far back as
1913, and was member Of the Ohio Con-
'titutional ConyGntion in ls50-5l. He is
now in his ed year, and has seen good
deal public affairs. We are not aware,
however, Of ono good word that he said
in public for the Union cause during
the war, and certainly no such man
ought to 50 to Congress from the
patriotic Sixteenth district Of Ohio. We
have no fears, however, that he will, for,
as We showed by yesterdays statistics,

Talking at Table.


Every one at all sociable in their
disposition will appreciate the follow
ing from the Journal of Health:
This is one of the very best digest
ers there is no tonic known equal to
it, as it is of the kind calculated to
promote hilarity and good feeling gen.
orally. Most parents are prone to pro-
hibit their children from laughing and
talking at the table ; it is unphysio-
logical; it is a cruelty.
Joyousness promotes the circulation
of the blood, enlivens it,invigorates it,
sends it tingling to the remotest part
OF the system, carrying with it anima.
ton, vigor and life. The louder the
little ones laugh the better the faster
they talk the better, for then they eat
less in given time, consequently
chew their food more thoroughly.
Discard controversy from the dining
table. Discourage all subjects which
invite political or religious rancor. Let
every topic introduced be calculated
to INSTRUCT. to interest, or amuse.. Do
not let the mind run on business or
previous mishaps, or disappointments.
Never tell bad news at the table. nor
for an hour before. Let everything
you have to communicate be, if posi-

remarks are made of the absent, let
them contain some word of commen-
tlation which if~repeated in their hear

The following recipe is that used by
DR.. auckland, the famous geologist,
and was employed by him in preparing
a cement for uniting parts of broken
fossils and for attaching specimens to
blocks and trays. The ingredients are
to be found in every village, and the
cement is excellent, as we know by ex-
perience, having used it for years.
The credit of devising it has recently
been attributed to several different
persons. The recipe is as follows:
Take 4 parts gum arabic, 3 parts starch
