Democratic County Convention.
STEUBENvILLE, July 8, 1876.


SrEUBENvILLE, July 8, 1876.
Editors Of the Register.
The delegates from the different town.
ships assembled at the Court House to-
day at 104 A. NJ, and nominated candi-
dates for the offices of Recorder, Com
missioner, County Surveyor and lnfirm-
airy Director; also delegates TO the
Congressional Convention at Bellsire on
the 9Th day of August, uRinstructed; also
delegates TO the Judicial Convention at
Urichsville on the 18th day Of August,
instructed, to cast the vote Of Jefferson
county for j. II. S. Trainer.
During the proceedings of the Con.
vention, questions of finance fire.
quently arose, and afforded the delegates
an opportunity TO ease themselves OF
political vapor in quiet and peaceful
manner. Those who differed did so
politely, and all seemed disposed to reason
together in political brotherhood. Whilst
none would allow the difference to be
considered cause for ostracism, they all
avowed their intention of staying with
the organization, hoping that concessions
will be made to enable them TO vote con
scientiously-the only way Democrats in
this region will vote. They would rather
be right than victorious, but l am happy
to inform you that the. horizon Is fast
clearing up, and after few more weeks
of quiet discussion upon what is now
imaginary differences, the ranks OF the
unterritled Democracy of Jefferson
county, Ohio, will present an unbroken
front.
At the close of the regular business of
the convention resolution was offered
by Mr.. James McConville, backed by
McFadden of the Gazette, endorsing the
Ohio platform and ignoring the st. Louis
National platform, which gave rise to
quite an animated discussion. 1t was
participated IN by McFadden, McCon
Vile and others for the resolution, and
o. P. Mossgrove, McClane and McGrew,
opposed to it. The result was vote by
the Convention rejecting the resolution.
Although the discussion showed some
warmth il was in perfect good feeling
and the convention adjourned without
murmur, and with bright hopes for the
future OF the party.

be able to say something of An enthusi-
sstlc ratification of the st. Louis noml-
nations ut a meeting here. DIX.

Requisites for a Newspaper Man.

The venerable Curtis Guild, of the
Boston Commercial Bulletin, lately
made little speech to an assemblage
of Press men, in which he said:
What then, some one may inquire,
are the requisites for the newspaper
business? An answer to this suggests
itself to my mind in reply in some
what powerful terms, will admit, that
| made to a pale, hollow-chested young
man of twenty-five or three who once
waited upon me with an inquiry of "a
similar nature. He had a few thousand
dollars, and had just graduated from
college and wanted to join with some
body to ''start a paper!" Start pa
per! This is thought by almost every
one outside the business one of the east
est and pleasantest things in the world
to do-and SO it is if you have plenty of
money to start with; but it is not the
starting, but the keeping of it going at
profit, that calls for brains. | recall
now the reply, prompted by days
severe and exhausting work, when, af-
ter listening as patiently rs possible to
the young mans crude notions respect
ing a business in which he had no ex-
perience, he begged l would tell him in
as few words as possible the qualifca-
tons necessary to prosecute the bust
ness successfully. He was somewhat
startled by the assertion that they were
as follows:
A brain as flexible and elastic as steel.
4 memory as tenacious as iron,
A temper even as that of a saint,
A digestion equal to that Of an ostrich,
And the endurance of adamant.

A Young Couple Who Believed in Doing
Things to Suit Themselves.

We have legitimately come into pos
session of all the facts in most rO-
mantle little affair, the facts of which
we are ready to give, however, this
morning. We are furnishing our read
ers very little news to Atchison people,
when we say that Miss Addie Freeman
is one of our society young ladies; hand
some, accomplished and attractive, the
belle of her circle of acquaintance, the
little sensation still affords no small topic
of conversation. Charley Gum, the
hero of our story, is also we'll known to
Atchison people. For long time he
was the Assistant Engineer in the con-
struction of the large iron bridge that
spans the Missouri River at this point,
a quiet, dignifed young man, who made
a specially of attending strictly to his
own business, and who was a general
favOrite with every one. Our hero and
heroine met each other in Atchison, and
the result was a constant attendance
upon the part of our young friend. Since
leaving AtchisOn he has been employed
in Kansas City. During the month of
February Miss Addie Freeman was Wis
while out driving, our hero prevailed
upon her to accompany him to the resi-
dence of Rev. Merwin, and they were
legally and lawfully made man and wife.
Miss Addie returned to her home in
Atchison, where she has been the gayest
of the gay. At intervals she has visited
her husband in Kansas City, but until
last Wednesday the affair has been kept
an entire secret, even her own parents
remaining in ignorance until last week.
To the young couple we tender our
earnest congratulations, and wish them
all the happiness that is ever allotted to
mOrtals.-AtchiSOn Champion.

Jewish Vitality.

The Jews are the healthiest and long.
est-lived people on the face of the earth,
Their immunity from diseases of all
forms is remarkable. Even the great
epidemics pass them by with the inflic-
ton of a much lighter scourge than
falls upon other races. 1t is declared
that the cholera never chose one of them
for its victim, and, in fact, the deaths
from this malady have been so few as
almost to bear out the assertion. Sui
eide is seldom practiced among them.
1t has been computed, from statistics
returned in certain provinces of Austria
and Germany, that, in a population of
l,OOO, 200, the proportion of suicides be-
tween the Jews and the mixed white
races was as one TO four.
From data carefully studied, Hoffman,
found that, between the years 1928 and
1910, the number of stiQ-born amongst
the Jews of Germany was as in S9,and
amongst other races as in 40. Mayer as
certained that, in Furth, the proportion of
Jewish children who die between the ages
of ! and years is 10 per cent, and of
Christian children of the same age it is
IA per cent. NJ. Melville, calculating
from the statistics of Frankfurt, shows
even a greater vitality existing among
the children of the Jews. He also finds
from his data that the average duration
of the life of the Jew is 4S years and 9
while of the Christian it is Sc
years and IL months. ain the total Of |
all ages, half of the Jews born reach the
sge of So years and month, while half
he Christians born attain the age Of Sc

Birds at Home.

Mrs. John Ramage, Windsor Street,
between Fifth and Sixth, has been feed
ing hundreds of birds each winter, and
even thousands during the severest
weather. During very cold snaps she
has given up nearly the whole of the
second story of her house to the birds.
She likes them and they like her. They
come flying around her when she calls.
She has no children to brighten them,
and the three cats never try TO catch
any of them, but walk right through
their midst while they are hopping
around on the ground. The big old dog
also used to step over the little birds if
any were in his pathway, but he is dead
now. Mr.. and Mrs. Ramage own two
acres of land which are estimated to be
worth $4,000, and the birds occupy
this tract. Mrs. Ramage remarked to
an Eagle reporter that no one has hard
~ an idea what it costs to feed so many
birds during a whole winter. However,
they required less feeding last winter
than usual, on account of the mildness
of the weather. The English sparrows
keep many other kinds of little birds
away, but there are some kinds that
come each spring and stay. There are
more robins on the premises this year
than at any time MISUNDERSTANDING

A Horrible Fate.

The Memphis AUalGncke gives the
following particulars regarding the I'M
fortunate death of Fred. Hayden, clerk
on the steamer j. n. Kellogg:
At the early hour of l o'clock yester-
day morning Mr.. Fred. Hayden was
literally cooked alive as he lay asleep in
the berth of his state-room, on board of
the steamer j. N. Kellogg, some 40
miles above this city. The cause of the
mishap was the bursting of the valve
that connects the siphon pump with the
boats boilers. The break in the pipe
occurred directly beneath the room
where Mr.. Hayden slumbered, and the
rush of steam was so great after it hap
pened that no one could approach near
enough to afford relief to the Unconscious
sufferer. Captain John Little, the boat s
commander, attempted to rescue him,
but found the room door locked. When
it was broken open he put his hand into
the fog of hot steam and caught hold of
the scalded mans foot, only to get a
handful of cooked human flesh, that
peeled from the limb like fake of cot
ton from a lint room. 1t was after
wards found that the force of the hot
steam caused part of the mans skin,
flesh and hair to stick fast to the bulk
head or partition of the state-room.
The victim, Mr.. Hayden, was resi-
dent of Springfield, H., aged 81 years,
and he had been on the Kellogg since
The 18th of February last. He was IN
married, The eOlOrs Of the boat were
