The Greenback Nomination.
There il not much to be said for or
against the recent nomination as a whole.
Some of the parties are we'll qualified for
the positions. but they do not stand a
ghoet of show for success. II is quite
evident thst the Republicans have been
dallying with the Greenbackers and led
them to suppee that a. . party they
would coincide with the convention, but We
have it from good authority that
the Republicans will call convention ard
nominate their own candidates, leaving the
Greenbackers TO shift for themselves. The
name Of W. E. Bard was uaed BY the CON-
venti"n without his knowledge or consent,
which We think unfair. Had Mr.. Bard
made any effort or desired the nomination
he could have received it without opposi-
ton.

is the momentous question that involves all. All others are secondary.

The Reliable Man.

Of all the qualities that combine to form good character, there is not ono more important than reliability. Most emphalically Is this true of the character of good business man. The word itself embraces both truth and honesty, and the reliable man must necessarily be truthful and hones: We see so much all around us that exhibits the absence of this crowning quality that We are tempted, in our bilious moods, to deny it's very existence. But there are, never ,helesa reliable men, men to be depended upon, to be trusted, in whom you may repose confidence, whose word is as good as their bond and whose promise is per formance. If any one of yeu know such man make him your friend. You can only do SO, however, by sssimilasing his character.
 The reliable man is a man of good judgment. He does not jump at con. ClubioHB. hc ID uot Afoiouh unp' He is thoughtful He turns over sub ject in his mind and looks at it all around.

4 Touching Story.
A HEROIC JAPANESE WOMAN.


 A curious and touching story is told of brave, high spirited girl daughter of one of the most distinguished of Sai- go's generals, who WAS found after the last battle was over lying dead in the moat of the castle with the ghastly head of her faihsr in her right hand, and in the left the deadly knife with wkich she had taken her own life. She was attir- ed in garments of the richest and most expensive quality, and had evidently undertaken the dreadful last and highest duty enjoined upon her by her hopeless parent with the most lofty sense of its overwhelming importance and an un- shrinking faith in its absolute necessity, if her fathers honor and name were to remain unsulkcd in the recollectioAs of men. The steady hand and firm pur- pose that sacrificed her father, failed not when she drove the knife into her own heart, or steod srayely ap to receive It's deadly thrust from a retainsr's hand. Such m exhibition of lofty courage, splendid spirit of self-sacritice, and stern seDse of duty lights up the terrible shadows of that fierce contest about the monastery moat with B glory which time can never dim. The unknown Japanese lady has won place among the real heroes of the world. It was of such stuff that the leaders of the fatal insur. rection were made It is pity that so many gallant and heroic men fell in such hopeless contest, for they were of the very best blood in Japan, and struggled almost from tho first against dishearten- ing odds.

Cramps.

These most terrible of pains arise from the veins being 50 full of blood that they swell out, press against the large nerves, and thus impede the circulation of the vital fluid. In smaller nerves the disten- sion produces neuralgia, which Is literal ly ''nerveache." The cause of this un- ussal fullness of the veins is, that the blood is so impure, co thick, 30 full of disease. that 1t cannot flow by Natatss ordinary agencies In proportion sssit is thick, it is cold, and this abnormal state Is indicated by the feebleness of the pulse. In cholera patienn il is very marked, snd exists days and weeks be- fore the attack. The following is sim pie method of treatment:
 When person is attacked with. cramp get some hot water quietly and expedi- tiopsiy (for noise and eKclamations of grief and alarm still further disturb the aervons equilibrium); pueihe sufferer In !he water ss completely as pnssible. and thus heat is imparssd to lhe blood which sends it coursing along the veins. and the pain is gone Whi.s the water is la preparation. rub the crsmpsd psrt very briskly with the ksud or a woolea flannel. with your mouth shut Bat why keep the mouth shuts You can rub harder. fss!er. and more sfncieutly, b. aides 1t savu .hs sufferer from meaning less and agcnizlng inquiries.

They Met By Chance.
A STORY OF TRUE LOVE.


 Emmet Weyland was child of the sunny South. He was handsome and winning, with clear olive skin, brilliant dark eyes, and an expressive, mobile mouth. His 1.-the, graceful figure gave promise of great strength when fully de- yeloped i; for as yet he was q mere youth of eighteen, atho' within few months of finishing his collegiate course.
 During his four years residence in the city of his Alma Mater he had been introduced to many beautiful young ladies, some of them so brim-full of fun and romance that many glance from their bright eyes had been aimed at him; but he seemed impervious to their attractions.
 r. One morning, however, as he was walking hastily along, being little later than usual, he saw girl of such won. derful loyeliness, that he almost involun. tarily turned to obtain second look at her
 The same feeling had evidently &C., tuated her. for she was looking back al. so, and their eyes met. Such wonderful depths of bewildering blue they were, that Emmet felt for moment as though it might be glimpse of Heavens own azure; but the white lids dropped in con fusion beneath his earnest, ,admiring gaze and in another moment shc entered tiny cottage, conspicuous among the row of similar ones for it's exquisite neatness.
 IL was their nrst meeting but not their last. For while 1t was by accident that the pretty creature was either going to or from her humble home when it was the hcnr for the young student to pass that way but after time they became so accustomed to sec each other, that one morning Emmet unconsciousiy lifted his hat as though to an acquaintance. and his salutatien was answered by 6 smile and shy blush.
 Then he spoke to her. She looked at h.m--her bright, earnest eyes intent with an expression as though she was reading his very soul--then she laid finger up on her delicately-curved corsl-red lips, shook her head, and sighed.
 It came to him then like hssh of sudden pain that this girl. with fsce like Raphael's Madonna, and form as graceful in it's airy lightneSs as scolp tured Diana, was doomed to perpetual silence. She was shut oEf from all sound of speech as etfectually as though immured in q cave.
