-1S16

The next Union Republican National
Convention for the nomination of can
didates for President and Vice President
of the United States will be held in the
city of Cincinnati, on Wednesday, the
18th day of June, 1876. at IL o'clock
noon, and will consist of delegates from
each State equal to twice the number of
its Senators and Representatives in Con-
gress, and of two delegates from each
organized Territory and the District of
Columbia
In calling the convention for the
election Of delegates, the committees of
the several States are recommended to
invite all Republican electors, and all
other voters, without regard to past
political differences or previous party
affiliations, who are opposed TO reviv-
ing sectional issues, and desire to pro-
mote friendly feeling and permanent
harmony throughout the country By
maintaining and enforcing all the con-
stitutional rights of every citizen, in
cluding the full and free exercise of the
right of suffrage without intimidation
and without fraud; who are in favor of
the continued prosecution and punish
nent of all official dishonesty, and of an
economical administration of the Gov
eminent by honest, faithful and capable
officers; who are in favor of making
such reforms in government as expert
ence may from time to time suggest;
who are opposed to impairiug the credit
of the nation by depreciating any of its
obligations. and in favor of sustaining
in every way the national faith an finan-
cial honor; who hold that the common
school system is the nursery of American
liberty, and should be maintained abso-
lutely free from sectarian control; who
believe that, for the promotion of these
ends, the direction of the government
should continue to be confined to those
who adhere to the principles of 1776,
and support them as Incorporated in the
Constitution and the laws; and who are
in favor of recognizing and strengthen
ing the fundamental principle of Ma
tional Unity in this Centennial Anniver-
sary of the birth of the Republic.

LII is generally conceded that in the
till that Hon. CHAs. FOSTER had with
''Salary Grabber" SAM. RANDALL, over
the reduction of Congressional salaries,
that redoubtable champion of the De-
nocracy came off second best. Fos-
rER's proposition to cut Congressmen's
salaries down to 81, 700 per annum
didn't suit them They were willing to
cut down clerk hire, but a Congression-

speak of; the country merchants are here
in some force, but they are buying very
closely, as all of them believe that prices
have not yet struck bottom. The fail
ures for the week aggregate 123, none of
them very large. As an evidence of the
closeness in business matters, there are
164 empty stores between the Post Office
and 14th ST., and they are likely to stay
empty for some time to come. They
cannot be rented, for there is no business
TO do in them. There viii be no building

How Was This Toad freed?

A remarkable incident occurred at
Brown & Halls saw-mill last Saturday,
whilst a pine log was being sawed up
into lumber. The outside slab and one
board had been cut off, and while the
workmen were turning over the log
they were surprised to see a large toad
poke his head out Of a hole in which he
was imbedded, and where he had bare
ly escaped being cut up by the saw

ry, as he was completely encased in the
wood, with no possible means Of ingress
or egress. As the log was the fourth
or fifth from the butt of the tree, his
position must have been at least fifty
or sixty feet from the ground, and he
has, no doubt, grown up with it from
infancy, being, probably, hundreds o.
years old. The animal was quite fla

An Ohio ElOpement.

Mr.. Barnard F. Roswell is a mer-
chant and wool-grower in the Western
Reserve of Ohio. He makes his home
near Youngstown, Mahoning County,
and in the course of an active business
life Of 40 years had amassed consider
able wealth. His wife has been dead
about l6 years, and his family consist
ed of a son, now in the employ of the
United States Corps of Engineers, and
a daughter II years old,a graduate from
Vassar College.
Running on the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad was en-
ployed, as a passenger conductor, Mr..
Frank Pattison. He met Miss Roswell
on the train frequently, and became ac-
quainted with her. Acquaintance led
to friendship, friendship to intimacy,
and intimacy ripened into love. Ros-
well objected to the association of his
daughter with a railway conductor, and
forbade Pattison the house. Secret
meetings were arranged between the
enamored pair, but seeing no hope of
receiving the consent of the obdurate
parent, they determined to elope Pat
tison quietly obtained leave of absence
from the manager of the road, and Miss
Roswell obtained her fathers permits
sion to visit n friend in Garfield, q
neighboring town. She did not return,
and the father, filled with the gravest
apprehensions, set out to seek her. She
had not been to Garfield at all, and
hearing just at this time that Pattison
had got leave of absence, he started in
pursuit. In the mean time the fleeing
couple had crossed the country to Enon
Valley, where they took the main
stem of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad. Their train was
belated, and the one upon which Mr..
Roswell was following overlook them
just outside Of Allegheny, and the two
trains consolidated, and we're taken into
Pittsburgh. In some mysterious way
both parties escaped seeing each other,
until just as the train on the Pennsyl-
vania road was about to pull out from
the depot Pattison saw his father in-law
boarding the same train, and without
waiting for bag or baggage, the lovers
slipped out of the car at the other end
and saw the train which bore their pur.
suer speed eastward.
Marriage was determined On at once,
The Rev. DR.. Grimes performed the
ceremony, and the couple took the
train to the Centennial to enjoy their
wedding trip.
The party reached Philadelphia, spent
a few days, and yesterday morning
took the limited express for Washing
ton, intending to 60 home over the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad. But the fa'
Their had struck the trail and received
information about the route Pattisor
would probably pursue; so he watched
all the trains through the Charles Street
station.
Yesterday when the limited express
rolled in he was there, and in the win
dow of a Pullman car sat his daughter
glowing and happy in her new relations
She raised the window, and, placidly
smiling on the old gentleman, said

Abusing the Baby.

1t is a subject of marvel to most PEG.
pie that so many children die in in.
fancy, but to an observing mind the
wonder is that any children live to ma.
turity. When you and l feel miserable
we want to be left in quiet, Repose is
the sweetest remedy for nervousness OF
other ills; but baby is trotted, bounced,
toted, "ketcy-ketchied, chucked under
the chin, poked in its cheeks, or some
body's thumb is thrust into its toothlsss
mouth, irrespective Of a need of ablu.
ton, and then IL "a baby isn't happy it is
reputed very irritable. Ticking the
bAby's feet, creeping the fingers like
the motion OF a mou across Its breast,
and up into it's fat, sensitive neck,
wrinkles, is another mode Of amusing
and abusing the baby.

Abuse OF sewing.Nfachines.:

The sewing-machine Is doubtless q
great help to the weary, q great bless
ing to the heavily laden mother and
housekeeper-or Il should be-; but all
have need Of caution lest they make this
good gift q curse. Let us look back TO
the time when sewing-machines were
unknown, and compare the amount Of
cloth, time and stitches necessary to
make the most deliberately fashionable
dress then with that which is piled on
the ordinary dress Of the present period.
Look at the r%ufies, putfs, fiounces, ETC.,
that mothers put on wen q little girls
dress, to say nothing Of the AMOUNT re-
quired on their own. Think of putting
100 yards Of rufiing on one dress! And
any body knows that Is but a small esti-
mate Of the number required for some
stylish dresses. II there were no way
to have 1t made but by hand, how many
dresses would DO so deliberately trim
nedP
Knowing how rapidly all kinds Of
sewing can be done with the machine,
is there not danger that ladies will be
beguiled into q great waste Of time,
money and material by the possession
Of that which was designedto give them
rest and time to use for their
own improvement and for the
welfare Of othersP Aside from
Nhn vNAtnn In nNtrny n an ~
expenditure of material, time and
strength, il not very careful, there is
danger of many becoming devotees Of
fashion, who, but for the ease and rap
idity with which the work is done by
these wonderful machines, would have
made better mothers and happier
homes.
The wise will see this danger and
~resolutely turn from it. We can hardly
understand how sensible women a be
70 beguiled by fashion. In their own
hearts they can not but acknowledge
that the excessive use of trimming now
in style is not in good taste, that fash.

travagant. II common sense ever be-
