The Democratic conferees of this sena-
toral district meet in Convention to-day at
wellspprg.I il is we'll understood that AL;
Caldwell has been killed off for a re-nom-
nation. The. Sheriff is credited mainly
with that cruel slaughter, assisted by the
editor Of the Register and the Elm Grove
steam locomotive interest. There has
been talkIof taking Gov. Jacob off the
Legislative ticket and putting him up for
Senator, but that project seems to have
been dropped, and ex-Nayor Jetiers ap-
pears to be the coming man for to-days
honors. As for friend Al. he can now
take down his Shakespeare and read
Wolscy's remarks to Cromwell about
falling "a blessed martyr" &c. We al
waysknew that the young man was getting
Into trouble when he joined the Demo
cratic party.

IT was very touching to see Colonel
Ben and John Hanson kiss and makeup
on the stage last Saturday night. The
Colonel said something about permitting
John Hanson to be candidate two Tor
"four, he added,l years hence, which
some people, Charley Caldwell, for in
staneei nay eonstrue as a new pledge.
The question now is, does this pledge
conflict with any late renewal to Judge
at Parkersbury. Jake, too, and
the Colonel kissed and made up the other
evening. Next in order will be Dan
johnson. Some of these chaps are bound
to be old before they get to Congress
And what lengthcns out the suspense is
the fact that Col. Ben has q bad memory
for pledges.

The Family Hammer.

~ True to life is the following from one
of the American humorists, upon that
exasperating subject, "The family ham
mer."
No .well-regulated family pretends to
be without a hammer. And yet there is
nothing that goes to make up the equip
ment of domestic establishment that
causes one-half as much agony and pro-
family as a hammer 1t is always an old
hammer, with a handle that is inclined
to silver, and always bound to slip. The
face is always as a full moon and as
smooth as glass. When it glides off a
nail and mashes finger we unhesitating
ly deposit it in the back yard, and
observe that we will never use it again.
But the blood has hardly dried on the
rag before we are in search of the same
hammer again, and ready to make
!. 8: SO: !: az: sle yas
but we never profit by it. The awful
weapon goes on knocking off our nails,
and MASKING whole joints. and slipping
off the handle to the confusion of mantel
ornaments, and breaking the command
ments. Yet we put up with it, and put
the handle on again, and lay, it away
where it won't get lost, and do up our
smarting and mutilated fingers; and,
after all, if the outrageous thing should
disappear, we kick up terrible hallabal-
loo until it is found again. Talk about
the tyrannizing influence of bad habit.
