Col. keatley is the Democratic
congressional candidate for defeat in
the Eighth Iowa District.
1t is thought that the next Iowa
Democratic State Convention will
not be held before September.

interest Of Blaine, and that the ex-
pressed sentiment on the currency
Question WAS in favor of compromise
measures.

by the tidal wave of "Wednesday.
lets go its hole on Bristow with The
remark: Mr.. Blaine's success
places him foremost in the Cinein-
natl Convention on the first ballot.
lie will be very useful in destroying
the vain ambition of Conkling."
The Des Moines Register says that
the preference of the Iowa Demo-
cratic State Convention was in this
order: Hendricks, TiIden, Bristow.
Thurman, Davis, Palmer, Bayard,
Allen, and that there was quite a
feeling in favor of taking up Bristow
AT st. Louis in case he is defeated at
Cincinnati.
n number of leading Democratic
politicians from different parts of
New York met at Albany, May q.
The New York Herald says the pre-
valiisg sentiment was opposed to
the presence of any New York cnnid-
date in the National Convention and
in favor of the support of nominee
who will be- likely to unite the De-
mocracy Of the State.

One evening lately, in our family
circle, the conversation turned upon

dement's Of It's composition. The
subject narrowed by degrees, till the
question came to be, what were the
main requisites in good wife?
there being, considerable diversity
dopinion, and room for endless ar
ument, it was agreed that each
should write on slip of paper GER
tain qualifications, in the order
deemed most important. The num-
Der Of points was to be limited in
each list to seven, and those which
we're found in greatest number in
al the lists we're to be regarded as
the decision Of the company. When
the papers came to be examined,
there vas great variety in the ele-
nents named, and still greater in
'hs order. rs might be expected from
The different ages and characters of

majority, the following points, in
tie order given, appeared as the
sTen elements of the best wife:
