on the subject Of "Water Witchine, =

Of the divining-rod. He oommsncsd
by giving . brief sketch OF the history
Of the divining-rod - ussd By The

was always looked upsn by the people
~ something bordering on the super
natural, and the persons who claimed
this power were regarded ~ sorcersrs
or witches. In latter days the scien-
tific world had rejected the elaine Of
the dfviners, and had clsssed them
with the myths and hobgoblins of the
dark ages.
1t was almost impossible to make
men listen - anything that could be
said in favor of the workings Of the
divining-rod, because no scientific
cause could be assighed for it, nys-

WHY HE BOUGHT THE TIGER

WHY he BOUGHT THE TIGER
The Danbury Ne,rs man tells the
following story:
Those who attended the sale of ami :
mails from Dsrnum's hippodrome in
Bridgeport, the other day, report the
following occurrence. A tiger was
being offered. = The bid run up to ST.
500. This was made by man who
was stranger, and to him it was
knocked down. Barnum, who had
been eyeing the stranger uneasily dur
ing the bidding, now went up to him
and said 7i'A'.
Pardon mo for asking the question,
but will you tell me where yon are
frem?"
"Down Sonth bit" responded the
i, "sAre yon connected with any
show ?" 80. -a.-.,..t ~.
"No."
D ""And are yon buying the animal for
yourself? ?"a pvd
..sYes." l2Sl h 6
.Barnumsshifted about uneasily for a
sdsohnenf, BOOKING Alternately at the
man and the tiger, and evidently try.
Ing IT, reconcile the two together.
sNow, young man" he finally said
"you need not take this animal unless
lyep. want, to, for there are those here
who will take it off your hands"
81 dent want to sell, was the quiet
reply.
Then Bsrnum said in desperation :
e "What on earth are you going to do
with such an ugly beast ii you have
no show of your own aud are not buy
ing for soIne one who is Snowman ?'
Well, I'll tell you," said the pur-
chaser. .My wife died about three
weeks ago. We had lived together
for ten years, and-and l miss her.
lie paused to wipe his eyes and steady
his voice. and then added: $50

Il understand you." said the great
Snowman in q husky voice.

over Allen q. Thurman by majority of
1888 in total poll of 453, 900, thus narrow
ly escaping defeat. He was re-nominated at
the close Of his term in 1869, and again
elected by a majority of 1878 over George
Il. Pei dleton. In 1872 he was beaten for
Congress by Banning, Liberal Republi-
can. The next appearance of Mr.. Hayes
as candidate, was last Fall, when Re
was nominated on the public schools plat
form, after sharp contest with Judge
Taft, and was elected by majority of s.
544 over Mr.. Allen. Governor HAYES is not
a brilliant man, but an able one, and will
make an excellent President He is no
orator, but an efficient administrative Off
Ger. The last public office he held was
that of Centennial Commissioner, which
he resigned when he became Governor.
WILLIAM WHEELER.
The Vice-Presidential nominee, Hon Will
liam A. Wheeler has long been in public
life. He was born at Malone, Franklin
county, New York, June 3, 1919. He had a
common-school education and spent year
in study at the University of Vermont, and,
after passing seven years in a lawyers office
in his native county, was in 1S49 admitted
to practice. After a few years practice he
was elected district attorney as a Democrat.
and when els term expired (he had changed
his politics i'll the meantime) he was elected
to the New York Assembly as Wing. He was
re-elected, but at the close of his second
term retired to the practice of bis profes
sion. A short time afterwards he became
first the cashier of his local bank, posi-
tion he held for fourteen years, and at a
later date became president of the Ogdens-
burg and Ronses Point R1ilroad, conrinu.
ing III the supervision of the road for eleven
years.
At the death of the Whig party he
became a Republican, and entered the
State Senate IN January, 1885, to take
his seat in the first Legislature full
ly controlled by the Republican party
Through the sessions of 1853 and 1859
Mr.. Wheeler served in the Senate. and in
the fall Uf the last-named year he was
elected to q seat in the Thirty-seventh Con.
| gress, carrying all three Of the strong Re.
publican counties Clinton, Essex, and
FranklIn-of which the sixteeutb district
was then composed. In all the d 3bates and
| votes of that exciting war Session he was
uniformly on the side of the Union and lib.
erty.
After the close of the thirty-seventh
Congress Mr.. Wheeler did not enter
public service until 1867, when he was elec
ted member Of the New York Constitu-
tional Convention, of which he was subse.
| quently chairman. His only speech was
made upon taking the chair, and it was ra-
| dlcal to the core, and strongly pronounced
in favor of negro suffrage. In 1868 he was
| reelected a member uf Congress, aid has
served continuously down to this DIV. He
has been either chairman or member of
many Important committees. and it was he
who arranged the famous Louisiana com
| promise.

The Republican Candidates,

RUTHERFORD D. HAYES, OF OHIO; VIM. A.
WHEELER OF NEW YoRK-sKETcHEs OF
THEIR LIVES.
Rutherford b. Hayes, the Republican
candidate for President, was born in Della.
ware county, Ohio, October A, 1922. After
receiving a collegiate education at KENYON
College, Gambler o., he studied law in
Columbus. With the preparation he thus
received he entered the law school of Har-
yard College, whence he graduated with
credit. He began the practice OF his pro-
fesHion in Cincinnati, and met with no much
success that he WAS appointed solicitor of
that city. HIS genial manners and abilities
made him exceedingly popular in his pro-
fessl N, and his practice was rapidly growing
when the war of the rebellion broke out
lie was then just thirty nine years old in
the prime OF his life, and engaged i'll many
Important cases. but the call for troops was
the signal for him to throw aside the adyo-
cate gown and don the equipments of the
soldier. He protiered his services at once
ana on the fth of June, 1861, was appointed
major OF The 2lst Ohio Infantry Regiment.
Ills hrst services were with Roseerans in
west Virginia, and for q time was iudpe
advocate on that Generals staff. In No
Vember, 1862, he was promoted to a leuten-
anu colonelcy, and took command of the Dad
| OmO, and continued to command if durino,
| spring campaign i'll West Virginia. and tho
autumn campaign under General Mcclellan.
untll ne was wounded at the battle of Sonth
nouhLaln. lie was appointed colonel of the
f91h ONO IN the same year, but was pre-
vented by his wound from assuming com
mand, and afterwards was transferred back
| 10 his former regiment the 23d. DAreTn
Der 70, 1862, he was placed in command of
the lst Brigade Kanawha division. and
held 1t until Sheridan's victory at Wiuches-
ter in September, 1864, when he took COM
mand OF the division, leading it througb
the battles OF the year
In October, 1864. Colonel Haves was an
| pointed Brigadler-G General for gallant and
meritorious services at the battles of WIN.
chester, Fishers Hill, and Cedar Creek In
the spring of 1865 he commanded an expe-
dition against West Virginia, and was en-.
gagged III it when the war terminated. After
wards he was promoted to be Major General
for gallant and distinguished services. He
was engaged in much severe service and
participated in many battles, but ALWAYS
bore himself bravely. Before the close Of
the war he had been elected a member OF
] Congress, and in 1866 was reelected by q
handsome majority. Although he was a
| good lawyer and had often pleaded before
the courts, General Hayes sat in Congress
three sessions without making a single
elaborate speech. He was noted, however,
Tor his fidelity to Republican convictions
ana soundness of judgment.
IN 1867 he was unanimously nominated
by his party for Governor of Ohio, and af-
