The Devotion to Blaine.
MARYLAND DELEGATION AT CINCINNATI.

MARYLAND DELEGATION AT CINCINNATI.
The Cincinnati Times Of Saturday in an article
reviewing the scenes in the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, says:
In such battle as yesterday there could be but
one winner; but there were many Victories
There could be but one nominee; but there were
those in the fight whose outstretched hands just
missed the PRICE whose names came out from the
dust and turmoil of the strife undimmed in pres
tige, untarnished in their glory, the great grand,
powerful leaders of the republican party. We
hold, for instance, that in the affections of the
American people James G. Blaine stands to-day
more lovingly folded than ever before. That out
of seven hundred and ffty-six representatives of
the republican party of this nation, three hundred
and fftyone should hold him as their first, their
only choice, and should stand by him under cir
cumstances of such peculiar pressure is a triumph
that has rarely fallen to the lot of man. Through
sickness and health, amid good and evil report,
against the combined influences and solicitations
of all other candidates, even under the demoraliz-
ing effects of enthusiastic rush for rival ban
ner, the great army of his faithful followers only
gathered closer about him, lifting his war-cry
amid the din and clamor of the conflict, unwav
ering, mistaken, battling to the very last for the
cause they loved so well. When the crnel hush
of whispered death lay upon the assembled multi
tude, when the wild thrill of almost certain vCto-
ry stirred their pulses with the fever of strong
drink when the cold chill of defeat fell crushing
~ upon the fair bud Of promise, there no
1aNcflnp IN ueSlpD, preach IN u
band OF warriors under belted knight, with no
thought of self, no question of results, they
moved on to the decisive struggle, doing their de-
coir manfully to the death. The conduct of the
Mary land delegation affords fair sample of this
almost unparalleled devotion to party leader.
During the intense excitement Of the seventh bal
lot, when the common feeling was that single
vote might change the issue, there was wild
rush upon the gallant sixteen, whose solid
front had never been moved. The COM
bned attack of five great candidates cen
tered on this little band. The suspense fearful,
the din and confusion immense. About one
delegate whose fealty questioned tossed and
eddied perfect whrlwind of passionate pursuit.
The word came down the Maine and Ohio front
that Maryland had broken; and then, silence
like that of death fell upon the vast assemblage,
the voice of Marylands Chairman rolled through
the great hail. First and last, in victory defeat
we cast our sixteen votes for James G. Blaine. -
Words cannot do justice to the thrill of admira-
ton which leaped out of the hearts even of those
most bitterly opposing their steadiast course.

was "In Hayes we trust-in Allen we bust"
The Cincinnati Gazette hopes to see the next
Republican National Convention based on the rule
followed in most local conventions, where the
number of delegates is apportioned according te
the party vote cast at the last preceding election
The Milwaukee Sentinel has this comment
"Mr. Frank Orchard, of this city, is cousin
of Hon. Rutherford Orchard Hayes, the republi'

cabinet maker" In March next Gov. Hayes will
also be a cabinet maker.

they selected, when public opinion forced
them TO do so. Their idea of economy
has been shown by dragging out the large

long weary months without accomplish
ing anything, in proposing to reduce the
compensation of the Government clerks
below the figure fixed by the democratic
party long before the War, but still re-
tanning the same Congressional pay for
themselves. which is nearly double that
paid to Con grcssmen at the time the cleri-
cal salaries were fixed and, finally, by
endeavoring at the last moment to put the
Government on an allowance of about

make capital for the campaign, and post

In all respects the democratic party is
exhibited by its representatives. in Con-
gress has shown itself unworthy to be en-
trusted with the Government. incapable OF
managing its aff.rs as they should be.
The rebels control it now as they did be-
fore the war, and their rule means the re-
instatement of CalhouniSm in principle,
and the destruction OF the ideas upon
which alone the existence OF the Union is
possible.

Republican Union.

The nomination of Hayes and Wheeler
has thoroughly united the republican par
ty, and brought back to its ranks most o
the republicans who supported Greeley il
1872. The friends of all the other candi
dates for the republican presidential nom.
nation, heartily support the nominees,
and in every direction all the republicans
of 1872 enthusiastically respond to the call
to rally around the banner of Hayes and
Wheeler.
More than this, the independent and re-
form voters and the liberal republicans,
are generally accepting the Cincinnati
ticket and platform, and again battling
for republican principles. Among the
leading Greeley republicans of 1872, who
have already declared their purpose to
support Hayes and Wheeler, are Carl
Schurz whose influence with the German
voters is so great Gratz Brown who was
the democratic candidate for Vice Presi
dent four years since; ex-senator Fenton
and Waldo Hutchins of New York; and
many other leading liberals. Geo. Will
liam Curtis, Dorman b. Eaton, Pres.
Woolsey and most of the performers" who
recently held a consultation in New York,
heartily accept the ticket-thus rendering
it certain that there will be only two pres
idential tickets in the field, the republican
and the straight democratic.
In Maine we are happy to say that all
those who have any regard for republican
principles, are rallying around the banner
of Hayes and Wheeler. In the Bangor
convention there were many delegates
who have not voted the republican ticket
since 1871. and who now declare their re-
turn to the republican party. Indeed the
omens are uuspicious not only for republic
can union but also for an old-fasEioned
republican majority in Naturalization

We understand that the record of Mr.
Lynch, ,who represented this district al the
time of the passage of the salary bill, is
identical with that of Mr. Wheeler, as
stated in the press Of yesterday, viz: His
vote is recorded against the measure in
all its stages, and on its final passage he
invested the "back pay in L. S. bonds
and returned them to the Treasury to be
cancelled. Probably the fact that the
money was not paid into the Treasury d.
rectly gave rise to the charge that Mr.
Lynch retained the black pay. And al
though his name appeared among
those who had returned it on the list
published, as called for at the first
session of the Add Congress, we think
it was not generally noticed in the Maine
papers, and that the impression still pre-
walls that Mr. Lynch did not return the
back pay Portland Press.

Mending Tin.Ware.

FAITH ROCHESTER, in the 4griculturist,
describes method of soldering which we
have long used, and can recommend it to
all our readers. 1t is, essentially, as fol-
lows: Get an ounce of muriatic acid, put
it into an old teacup or bowl, and throw
in a few small pieces of zinc, such as you
can pick up at any timers. After it has
ceased to efervesce, turn into a bottle
and use small stick to apply the liquid
to the tin. Scrape the tin clean and bright
around the place to be mended, rub some
of the liquid on with the stick, lay on a
piece of solder, and hold it over lighted
candle till it melts, and the job is done.
We use small soldering iron, and
much prefer it to the candle-plan. A SOL
dering-iron can be had for twenty-five
cents that will answer every purpose; ten
cents worth of solder will last year in
an ordinary family, and the muriatic acid
will not cost any more. What timer or
travelling tinker would charge for single
job Of mending will buy a complete out
fit, and then you are done with the annoy
ance Of leaking vessels, or being COM
PEELED to work without them, at great
disadvantage. With farmers who live
some distance from town, the soldering
outfit is one of the greatest cohveniences
with MS tits indispensable. We keep
the iron, solder and fluid the latter we'll
corked, except when in use-in box by
themselves, on shelf ont of the reach eli
children. The muriatic acid is q very
powerful corrosive agent, and must be
handled with extreme care. Children
must not be permitted to get ho.d Of it.
Several years ago we bought bottle Of
soldering fluid of man who was travel
ing around selling it-at fifty cents per

Pluck Of a Kentucky Woman.

Tailor Horsfall owns /. wife who has
several times proved herself heroine,
and last night about eight O'Clock she
proved again that, although she is Il
woman, she is better than some men for
all that. Mr.. Horsfall was away from
home; his wife heard a peculiar kind of
noise in the Jail. Suspicioning that some-
thing was going crooked she seized &c.
volver and went to the front portion of the
building, when she discovered that pris-
oners were at work on the inside of the
wall, cutting hole through the brick, for
the purpose of ettecting an escape. 1t
appears that there were seven of the pris-
oners at work. Marshal Locke and
Lieut.. Cottingham had gone over to Gin
cinnati on certain affair pertaining to
their duty. The brave woman despatched
boy for an officer, and then standing at
the place they were working at, she told
the boys inside she would blow the brains
out of the first one who would dare put
his head through the opening. The boys,
knowing that Mrs. HOrsfall meant what
she said, ceased operations, and when
Deputy Marshal Jackson arrived they
both entered and drove the unruly creatures
back into their cells. Too much praise
cannot be awarded the brave woman for
the fearless part she took in the affair.
Had it not been for her those seven prison.

Economy in Shopping. Z

A correspondent of the New York
Granite went out shopping to find out as
mitch as possible what articles cost whole
sale, as compared with their cost made
UP, and 80 discover "what premium
women bay for the ineffable privilege of
being FOOLS" Her conclusion was that
women pay into the pockets Of costumers
enough money to clOthe themselves COM
fortably. For example, for a stylish
made and handsome camel's-hair dress,
trimmed with brown silk and feather
trimming, the price was $75. Now look
at the cost of the materials: Eight yards
camel's hair material at 50 per yard, whole
sale, as they all buy it, $16; six yards
feather trimmings at 81. Is per yard, $3.50;
seven and half yards Innings, buttons,
thread, etc., $3.50; brown silk for trim
ming, three yards, at 81 per yard, % !;
total, 500. One dress-maker alone, with
a sewing machine, can make that dress
easily in two days. Dress-makers in these
establishments get from 81 to 50 a week.
So, allowing that the cost to the proprietor
for that dress is $29 for material and 50 so
for work, he makes a clear profit of $43
I have placed the wholesale price at the
highest, so that there can be no possible
mistake. A lady can buy all the mate
rails for the same dress, and when made
and trimmed by herself, she will find that
she has clear profit of at least $40, al
lowing for the difference in wholesale and
retail goods. If she cannot do it herself, Il
dress maker will come to her house and
make it equally good, and equally stylish,
for $3.50 a day. wanted hat, and went

DR.. schenck,s Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are ScHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SCHENCK's
SEA WEED Tonic and ScHENCK's MANDRAKE
PILLS. and If taken before the lungs destroyed,
a speedy cure is effected.
TO these three medicines DR.. j. H. Schsnck, of
Philadelphia. owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy ex-
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
slight cough will throw it of, the patient has rest
and the lungs begin to heal
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schencks Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act
on the liver, removing all distractions, relax the
bladder the bile starts freely and the liver s
soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alka, Of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents souring. 1t as
sists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition, SO that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs
heal and the patient will surely get well if care is
taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Scheuck, either per-
sonally or by letter. can do so at his principal Of

SURE CURE FOR GAPEs.-An expe-
rienced chicken raiser says as soon as a
manifestation of gapcs in his fowls ap-
pears, he confines his chickens in box,
one at time, sufficiently large to contain
the bird, and places q coarse cotton or
linen cloth over the top. Upon this he
places air-slaked lime, and taps the cloth
sufficiently to cause the lime to fall
through. This lime dust the fowl inhales
and is made to sneeze, and in short time
the cause of the gapes is thrown out in
the form of a Shiny mass of worms that
had accumulated in the windpipe and
smaller air vessels. This remedy he con-
siders superior to any he has ever tsied,
