In many of the Greek islands, the
diving for sponge forms a considerable
part of the occupation of the inhabi-
tants, as it has done from the most re-
mote antiquity. Hasselquist saws:
Himia is little and almost unknown
island directly opposite Rhodes. 1t is
worth notice on account of the singular
method the Greeks, the inhabitants of
the island, have to get their living. In
the bottom of the sea the common
sponge is found in abundance and more
than in any other place in the Mediter-
ranean. The inhabitants make it a
trade to fish up this sponge, by which
they get living far from contemplate,
as their goods are always wanted by
the Turks, who use an incredible num-
Der of spOnges at their bathings and
washings. A girl in this island is not
permitted by her relatives to marry be-
fore she has brought up certain guam
tity of sponges and before she can give
proof of her agility by taking them
from certain depth" In other islands
the same custom prevails, but with re-
versed application, as in Nicarus,
where the father of marriageable
daughter bestows her on the best
diver among her suitors: He that
can stay longest in the water and
gather the most sponges marries the
maid

The Massachusetts, Democrats.

WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. II.
The Massachusetts Democratic State
Convention which was called to meet
at Worcester to-day, was adjourned to
Sept. 25, and will be held at Faneuil
Hall, Boston. The Convention was
forced to make this change through the
action of the Butler faction, in taking
possession of the hall in which the Con-
vention was to have been held. The
particulars are about as follows:
At about five o'clock a. nj. some one
hundred and fifty Butler delegates,
headed by DIR. McSheehy, of Boston,
and other ardent Butler men, entered
Mechanics Hall, and proceeded to elect
p. j. Hughes, of Boston, Chairman,
and declaring their intention to remain
until the Convention was fully organ
lied. At sos a. m. DIR. McSheehy
sprang to the platform and nominated
Gen. Butler for Governor, and three
cheers were given forthwith. Then
speeches followed by McSheehy and
many others. Many of the harangues
were very violent, nearly every dele
gate declaring he would stay there till
forcibly thrown out. Another shouted
out that he would "vote for Butler,
spite of Satan or any other man"
These remarks were loudly cheered
By eight O'Clock the regulars had all
walked up to the situation, and at $3.50
a. m. the Mayor of Worcester arrived
with posse of fifty officers. He APP
pealed to them to disperse. and told
them that if they would go out he would
protect them in all their rights. A del
egate asked what he meant by protect
ing in their rightsP The Mayor intima-
ted that the police of the city should
not be used to clear the hall when the
Convention was regularly assembled.
j. j. McDavitt, Buffers Lieutenant,
appeared on the scene and asked the
Mayor if it was true that he had posted
blue-coated policemen in the corridors
and locked the doors to prevent egress
and ingress. The Mayor said no, any.
one could go out who chose. "Cau
they come in againP" asked Mr.. Nc,
Davitt. "No, sir" replied the Mayor
"Then," said Mr.. McDavitt, "we re,

I This declaration was answered with
passionate peal of applause.

fully realized that the Butler faction

An Iowa Inn-Keeper in Jerusalem.

The Davenport Qowa) Gazette has
received and details an interesting
story of profitable religious enthusiasm
Some ten years ago, it says, Mr.. Jona-
than Brinton, of Washington, Iowa,
became possessed of the idea that he
was commissioned by the Savior to
open an inn near Jerusalem, and so be-
come pioneer in the work of rebuild
ing and Outstanding the Holy City,
for il was made known to him in a
vision that the ancient glory of Jerusa-
lem was about to return unto her. He
was worth about $1,000; he gave $10,-
900 to his wife and son, who preferred
to remain ON the farm, hoping that the
husband would be relieved of his in
sane notions by rough experience. So
the husband went away alone, arrived at
Jerusalem in safety, bought several acres
of land in the most desirable location
he could find two miles east of the city,
built his inn and opened it for the ac-
commodation of tourists to the Holy
Land. Two years have elapsed, and
whether he has been cured of insanity
or not is not known, but it is very GER
tain he struck good thing when he
built that hotel. His letters home have
been of the most cheering character;
his health has been good, he sees good
times all the while. His pictures OF
prosperity, his longing for his wife's
companionship, have caused Mrs. Brin'
ton TO decide TO go to her husband
She has sold her property in Washing,
ton County, and this week leaves, with
her son, to Join her husband at his inT
on the slopes Of Judea.

And with the above closed the first Fall
meeting of the Nevada Agricultural 8iining
and Mechanical Society. The liberality of the
purses offered, together with the excellent
reputa tion of the Carson race course, brought
horsemen here from all portions of Nevada as
well as California The finest horses, of all
classes, on the coast were here and the records
both in running and trotting establish the fact
that our track has no equal in speed in this
State. The general verdict is that the officers
of the Society conducted the late meeting
honorably and ably. They are entitled to
special mention, but where all have done so
well it would be larger task than we tonight
have time TO perform to give each his full
credit. We never heard fewer grumblings on
a race track than during the late Carson meet
ing, and such as did find fault may be en-
braced in the list of wounded in the pools
There was but one palpable throw off, and
that was a race really among outsiders, i'll
which case the Judges stepped in between the
pooll- buyers and the parties to the job,
and declared the pools off They could have
done no more, and they certainly should have
done no less. Take it for all in all, the late |
meeting has been a successful one, furnishing
irst-class sport for levers of the turf, liberal
for horsemen from abroad for
bringing their stock here, and, in fine, the
irst Fall meeting of our Society has been as
as could have been hoped for.

THAT NORTH ENTRANCE-A day or two age
there appeared in the MORNING APPEAL a
complaint of the condition of things about the
north porch of the Capitol. Mr. Latta, the
very careful and industrious janitor of that
institution, came to our office on Friday and
said that he couldnt conceive what was meant
by the complaint; that he had asked the Com
missioners to inspect the premises, etc. Yes
terday we went and took look at the said
entrance, and all that we could see that was
at all of an Objectionable nature was some va
grant bits of ice and some grass growing out
of the cracks of the steps and vestibule. The
ice, we think, will be likely to keep there
these cold nights; and the grass only shows
thatseed will sometimes grow on stony ground.
The fact is, the north porch of the State
House is the only place convenient for clean
ing the spittoons and other moveables of the
institution, and the fact that such cleansings
are done there sometimes causes damp ap
pearance thereabout. There ought to be
back yard to the building in which to do such
chores: and until there is such convenience
the ianitor should not be blamed if the north
entrance has an occasional work day look.
No CANNON. Empire people, always
enthusiastic in their undertakings, made a
move the other day to get cannon for their
meeting on Tuesday night The committee
Frank Mccullough, left the matter in our
hands. We went and interviewed the Mint
gun squad. They burst their brass gun and
then, at Empire, two years ago, burst the old
Curry gun. So they are out of the materials
of war just now. The gun squad at the V.
e T. shops kindly volunteered to let the Mint
squad use their gun; but there seems to be a
feeling of distrust of that piece Somehow
they are afraid it is not safe. Now, then, the
next best thing to do is for the Empire folks |
to interview Cap'n Lord or General Batterman |
Or some other military man, with view to
securing one of the guns owned or kept in |

THE REPUBLICAN MEETING LAST
NIGHT

Notwithstanding that there were several
attractions last night to divert our people
from a political meeting, the Theater was
largely filled last night, the audience being
composed of the best elements of our popu-
lation who remained to the last, and who were
sufficiently demonstrative to encourage the
speakers who appeared before them. The
meeting was called to order by MIR. Sam G.
Wright, and Hon. c. N. Harris was called to
the chair and Judge Witherel was elected
Secretary. Judge Harris made very neat
address in opening the meeting and his timely
remarks were received with hearty applause
Mr. Geo. ellison, our candidate for the Senate,
came forward and made a few remarks, pledg-
terests of the State and county; Charley
Wilson made very manly little speech, de-
clared his freedom from anything but his allie
glance to his party; and Hon. Hub Parker
made a speech full of characteristic good
humor. Mr.. Mighels being called upon made
statement at considerable length, setting forth
the history of the bullion tax controversy
and reading the memorials addressed to him
self and colleagues in the Legisl ture, re-
leasing them from their pledges relative to
the mining tax bill. (These memorials and
all the names affixed will be presented to the
readers of the MORNING APPEAL within a day
or two) Mr.. Mighels' remarks were listened
to with respectful attention, and seemed to
find approval among considerable proper
ton of his audience. Hon. G. S. Varian fol-
lowed Mr.. Mighels. His remarks were ex-
temperate and in good taste. He
invited his enemies, if he had any, to make
such charges as they harbor against him,
openly and where he can hear them. The
meeting adjourned about 9:45.

horse would go in the race, he was sold in the
