The Republican convention, held in
the open air, yesterday, just outside the
city, must have been an immense af-
fair. From accounts which have reached
the public. Wm. M. Randolph was
nominated for congress by q vote Of
eight, while General Smith, one of the
real heroes of the scourGe, who has
endeared himself to people who once
had dislike for him, received only one
vote. The farce was complete except
that the convention omitted the appoint

Treatment of SIeepIessne s.

So many persons suffer nowadays from
sleeplessness that every contribution to
the literature of the subject is of inter
est. DIR. Ainslie Hollis, in the London
Practitioner, maintains that, although
the quantity of blood in the brain is
diminished during sleep, this diminutlon
is not the sole cause of slumber, for we
may have the former without the latter.
One of the most efficient means OF in
ducing natural sleep is the application
of mustard plasters to the abdomen.
Preyer. of Jena, advocates the admlnls-
tration of freshly made solution OF
lactate of aroda, or of some milk or whey,
on the hypothesis that sleep may be IN
duced by the introduction OF the fatigue
products of the body. The alkalies and
alkaline earths are useful when acid
dyspepsia is associated with the insom-
MIA. Electricity has been used IN the
paresis of the vaso- MOTOR nerves due TO
an overworked brain. In hot weather,
spTinkling the floor of the sleeping
apartment with water lessons irrltant
properties of the air, adding much to
the comfort of the sleepers; possibly the
quantity of ozone is at the same time
increased. When sleep is broken Dy
severe pain, opium or morphia is OF
value, not only by relieving the pain but
by its action in producing anemia OF the
cerebra vessels. In the wakefulness due
to neuralgia. it is often better to iniect
small dose of morphia hypodermi-
cally near the branch of the affected
nerve, than to administer 1t by tine
mouth. It is doubtful whether the
bromides possess hypnotic properties,
although they undoubtedly act as seds-
tives on the nervous system, and as such
may occasional induce sleep.

Words Of Wisdom.

A good cause makes a stout heart.
Progress is born of doubt and anxiety.
Candid thoughts are always valuable.
A wounded reputation is seldom
cured.
Hope is a good breakfast, but bad
supper.
He who can take advice is sometimes
superior to him who gives it.
Method is the hinge of business, and
there is no method without order and
punctuality.
Some of the grandest things which
have been achieved were by those whom
we thought our interiors.
Education is friend at home, an in
PRODUCTION abroad, an ornament to
society, and solace in solitude.
The tallest trees are most in the
power of the winds, and ambitious men
of the cyclones of failure, disaster and
business reverses.
Man, being essentially active, must
find in activity his Joy, as well as his
beauty and glory, and labor, like every
thing else that is good, is its own
reward.
He that does good to another man
also does 1t to himself, not only in the
consequence, but in the very act of
doing it, for the consciousness of well
doing is an ample reward.

At Stekesley, Yorkshire, Eng
land, lives a man who once as
sisted in singing the whole of
the 10th Psalm, and this is how it
is said to have happened. The parson
Of church had an invitation to attend
marriage breakfast, and so made his
sermon very short in order that he
might be punctual. The clerk, howev-
er, objected to this way of passing the
Sunday, and when the time for singing
came gave out the 10th Psalm. The
Clergyman did not at first notice what
was going on, and when he did the mu-
sicians were fairly at work and could
not be stopped. The air was never lost.
The fiddlers wore out their bows and
strings, the flute player blew out his
front teeth, the clarinet never recovered
its tone, and the singers all suffered
more or less, but they kept it up to the
bitter end and finished at three o'clock
in the afternoon, after four hours hard
work. Many of the congregation went
home to dinner, and returned in the
afternoon to the finish, but the parson
won much respect by sticking to his
pulpit to the last, and at the conclusion
of the dismal performance he dismissed
the congregation without word.

A MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
A Mans Head Cut Open with a
Pick-Remarkable FOrtitude Of

About s o'clock last wednesday
afternoon Philip Rameles and Jaun
Fraynaus, two Mexicans, had an al
tercation about mining claim, when
Rameles struck Fraynaus two blows
on the head with a pick, inflicting a
cut about four inches in length on
the upper right side Of the head, and
another cut about three inches in
length on the left forehead. The
blow on the right side of the head
was glancing one, the pick coming
down over the right eyebrow, and
cutting off a chunk Of flesh about
half an inch square, with some of the
hair of the upper eyelid adhering to
it. Both blows grazed the scalp, but
did not fracture it. Fraynaus was
led to DIR. Burgi's Office, where his
wounds were dressed. He displayed
the utmost self-control during this
operation, ana did noc utter a word
of complaint. On leaving the ply
sician's office he walked to Angeles

ONE MORE DEFAULTER.
A Bank Clerk Who Discovered a
- New Way to Buy Stocks.

The most notable event in police
circles which has occurred since the
capture of the English forger Seville,
was the arrest of j. F. Aude, young
man who, until recently, was high
ly trusted emplove of the Branch of
the Nevada Bank in Virginia City.
Mr.. Aude has been in the city for
some little time, hut it was not un-
til last Friday that the bank off.
cials thought best to order his ar
rest, which they did, per telegram,
to Captain Lees. That officer at
once placed Mr.. Aude under arrest,
and he was started for Virginia City
in custody Of an officer last evening.
Advices to the Chronicle, just re-
ceived from Virginia City, give the
true story of Aude's connection with
the Nevada Branch Bank and his
downfall, which was caused by the
late crash in stocks. 1t appears
that Mr.. Aude, who is the son of
prominent Nevada politician, was
employed in the bank and had charge
of the stock department, the cipher
book and everything PERTAINING 10
that portion of the business. The
bank has been transacting very
large stock business with Glazier s.
Co, of this city. In banking insti-
tutions generally it is the custom
for the manager or cashier to exam
inc the stock balances every night.
This precaution appears to have
been overlooked by the gentleman
in charge of the Nevada branch in
Virginia City, and the result may
be imagined. Whenever an order
was given the bank to purchase, say
fifty shares of Sierra Nevada, clerk
Aude made the order 500 shares,
taking 450 shares on his own &C.
count, drawing the money from the
bank by check to pay the bank
the same. As long as the market
was "booming" and he had sole
charge Of the stock books all was
serene; but alas! the crash came,
and with it the expose of the daring
operator. The difference in accounts
between Mr.. Aude and the bank is
$72, 900 in favor of the latter.-S. F.
