Suppose q Case.

What wolM be the mode of either of
the great parties in the United States in
case of the death of its nominee pending
the election? asks a correspondent, to
which an exchange replies:
There is no provision against the con-
tingency mentioned. If candidate
should die pending the election, the ma
tional executive committee of the party
which nominated him would probably
call new convention, if there should be
sufficient time left to render such course
advisable; otherwise the committee
might make a nomination which the
party could support or not, as it should
deem proper. There is no means of con-
trolling the votes of members of the cleo
torial college, whether the successful
candidates lives or dies. 1t would be
considered an act of treachery for electors
who should be chosen to cast the vote of
their party for designated candidate to
fail to do so, if he should be living but
they really have the power to vote for
whom they please. Strictly speaking,
the people of the United States do not
vote for President and President,
but for electors to choose those officers,
though the electors are partially pledged
to support the nominations agreed upon
in the national party convention. Inthe
case of the death after election of the sue
cessful party, the electors might or might
not be governed in their action by the
views of the national executive COM

A Terrible Duel.

The combatants were two Africans,
and the cause of dispute the usual one
woman. At the appointed time the
duelists, two stalwart savages, nearly
naked, appeared upon the field of honor,
each armed with stout rawhide cat, or
triple-thonged whip, capable of inflicting
the most tremendous blows-blows that
might make an OK below. Having ar
ranged the few necessary preliminaries,
they pitched three oyster shells each at
a given mark to decide which of the two
should receive the first lashiDg. The
unfortunate loser Immediately took his
stand, and received, without ainching,
the given number of blows-fve and
twenty. Then came the turn of the
other. With heroic frmness he offered
his back to the sufferer, whose arm was
not made lighter by the pain and the
loss of the pitch. Thus they alternated
until one gave in and had the umpires
judged that the twain had suffered sui
ficiently before either would give up,
they were at liberty to stop the duel and
award the victory to him who had borne
the greatest number Of blows without
flinching. And ever after the scarified
backs of these heroic mon were displayed
in token of their honor and of Their
bravery.

gle out, and away they 60 to hunt for
themselves. Another family OF cousins
-Alytes-who live in Europe, manage
things in a very different manner. In
that family Papa Alytes is the nurse.
The old gentlemen takes the eggs very
carefully and wraps them around his
thighs, fastening them on with kind OF
glue made for the purpose, and away he
goes, Juggling about sixty eggs round
wherever he travels, until they are
ready to hatch. Then he goes to pond
aud sits in the water, which m0istens the
glue, and the little ones pop out.
Then there is one more cousin who
has peculiar notions of how to take care
of the eggs. This one has harder
still-Cousin Notrotema. Mrs. N. at
tends to the Matching of her own eggs.
She has pocket something like kang-
aroo, but it is on her back, near her
shoulders-a pocket in the skin. Into
this 60 the eggs, and there the little
baby Notrotemas are Matched. She may
stay out at night and wander where
she will in daytime, the eggs
never get cold, and nothing can
brighten her away from her nest.

Useful suggestIons.

SoILED clothing, put together when
damp and allowed to remain 30 some
time, is often covered with mildew. The
remedy here, too, is in the prevention.
Dry the clothes before putting together,
and never allow an article to be rolled
up damp and thrown into the basket Tor
soiled clothing.
The best way to get moths out of
carpet is not to let them get in, and this
is the simplest matter in the world.
Just sweep your carpet occasionally with
salt. No carpet was ever known TO DC
infested with moths when the housewife
has the habit of using salt occasionally
to clear her carpet with. Care, how
ever, should be taken not to have the
salt too damp, or there is danger OF tax
ing the color out of the cloth in some
places.
To GRAIN in imitation of hair wood,
take for the ground color white lead, and
thin it with turpentine, and slightly
stain it with equal parts of Prussian
blue and black. For the granting color
prepare in ale a mixture OF PrusslaI
blue and raw sienna. When the ground
is dry, spread a transparent coat OF tn
granting color on the surface OF TIT
work and soften; then with a mottle
cross the work to form the fine lonl
grain mottle. When this is done, softer
and top grain in wavy but perpendicu
lar direction.

IS Paradise LOst.v

M. Edmund Scherer, French writer,
gives the following criticism of Millions
paradise Los" in a recent work:
90 Paradise Lost is a false, grotesque,
tiresome poem; not one reader in a hun
dred can go without smiling through the
ninth and tenth books, or without yawn-
ing through the eleventh and twelfth !;
it does not hold together; it is a pyramid
balancing on its point-the most fright
full of problems resolved by the most
puerile of means. And yet, Paradise
Lost is immortal. 1t lives in virtue of
some episodes which will remain forever
famous. In opposition to Dante, whom
we must read altogether if we wish
really to possess his beauties, we must
read Milton only in fragments. But
these fragments are part of the poetic
patrimony of the English race"

Frosty Mines.

The American Journal of Science and
Arts contains an account of a curious fact
that the miners:.in Clear Greek County,
Colorado, have discovered. 1t is partlcu-
larly noticeable in the Stevens Mine,
about twelve thousand five hundred feet
above the level of the sea, on Mcclellan
Mountain. After a depth or distance OF
ninety feet from the surface the crevice
matter, in which the silver is found, is
frozen solid. Summer and winter has
no visi5e effect to change its tempera-
ture, nor is there ever any perceptible
thaw. Pick and drill fail to work the
frozen mass, and the only way wQrkmen
proceed is to kindle large fire at night
against the matter and in the morning
to pick at the disintegrated ore. After
this curious fashion the mine has been
profitably conducted for two years.
From ninety feet, where the cold was
struck. the tunnel has proceeded inward
now nearly two hundred feet, and the
cold is in no way diminished as yet.
Other mines in the neighborhood show
the same singular condition, and in all
of them the depth under ground is such
as the frost can not have possibly pene'
trated there. The conclusion reached by
the contributor of the article is that II
is relic of the glacial era. Whatever
its origin, it is certainly singular and
interesting fact, and the method o.
mining, although profitable, is as simple
and primitive as could we'll be devised
