tramps in depredations upon property.

do the very same things they do under the
same circumstances When it comes to a

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS
SIGNAL CONVENTION
AT PRINCETON, I'LL.
=
A FULL AND ENTHUSIASTIC
ASSEMBLY,
Hon, Charles Durham Nomi-
mated for Democratic Can
didate in the Sixth
Congr. District.

A telegraphic dispatch from Princeton,
at three o'clock this p. IN, gives the graft
flying intelligence that Hon. Charles Dun
ham, of Henry county, was unanimously
nominated on the first ballot as the demo-
cratic candidate for congress from this dis
trict.
His nomination will be a tower of
strength to the democracy in the coming
election, and in the triangular contest
about to ensue the chances OF success I'M
der his leadership are of the most encour-
aging kind. At this present time there is
probably no person in the whole district,
acting with the democratic party, whose
nomination was so generally desired, or
whose we'll known personal and political
qualifications so widely command the con-
fdenee, or would receive an equally strong
and enthusiastic support among democrats.
Mr.. Durham is personally popular among
all his friends and acquaintance and will
be certain of receiving a large vote outside
of the party. His talents as public
speaker are of high order, and his &C
knowIedged mental and acquired qualifi
cations place him long ways in advance
of Henderson or Haney. Few men o.
Charles Dunham's age can lay claim t.
equal tact, sagacity, or through knowledge
of the political affairs Of the country, anC
equally few are they who possess the same
hold upon the good win of their politica
friends, or have the same grand and in
spring elements of a popular leader. /
is expected that he will early enter upol
the labors of the fall campaign, and
although this district has always beer
hopelessly republican in politics, the re
markable changes which have lately be
come evident on all sides will undoubtedly
inure largely to the benefit of the democ
racy, and contribute to the more thai
probable success of the democratic neminee

Edison at Home.

OF the number of persons in the labora-
tory, remark principally the one you may
have least thought of selecting, from the
intormality of his appearance. The rest
are but skillful assistants to whom, he is
able to commit some experiments in their
secondary stages. 1t is a figure perhaps
five feet nine in height, bending inte1tly
above some detail of work. There is a
general appearance of youth about it, but
the face, knit into anxious wrinkles, seems
old. The dark hair begin ling, to be
touched with gray, falls over the forehead
in mop. The hands are stained with
acid, and the clothing is of an ordinary,
/" ready-made" order 1t is Edison. He
has the air Of mechanic, or more defin-
itely, with his peculiar pallOr, of night
printer. His features are large; the brow
well shaped, without unusual developments:
the eyes light gray; the nose irregular,
and the mouth displaying the teeth which
are, also, not altogether regular. When
he looks up his attention comes back fully
and cordially, and the expression of the
face, now that it can be seen, is frank and
prepossessing. \ cheerful smile chases
away the grave and somewhat weary look
that belongs to it in its moments of rest.
He seems no longer old He has almost
the air of a big, careless school-boy releas-
ed from his tasks.

Banged Hair.

| am glad that this horrible fashion has
such horrible name. 1t is a fashion that
disgraces our sex. Its prevalence shows
that great proportion of womenkind are
willing to submit TO almost any indignity
even to having ''idiot" written plainly
on their faces-it is only "the fashion. y
| have pittied little children so disfgured
and when | have met grown-up women
and girls seriously appearing with banged
hair in public places in apparent ignorance
Of their disgrace, have felt that ought
TO, as Whittier says in "Ichabod, -
walk backward with averted face
And hide the shame
1t seemed unkind to look such deluded
"females" full in the face, for fear they
might think you noticed their deformi-
ty or ldiotic appearance. l don't know
whether the word banged applies to the
short frizzes worn over the forehead. but
have supposed that it only meant the short
hair hanging straight down over the fore
head like fringe, not at all in an ''artlessn
manner, but in a style so defiant of all ar
tistie sense, as to stamp its inventor as alb
solutely ignorant in respect to beautys
laws. Woman's dress is a standing Joke
in the newspapers and among plain think
ing men. They always have some hold
BY which they can show US up TO ridicule
But men are now crying out in agony
over the banged" hair begging to know
tohy women will do so. What possible
reason can they have for making their
faces hideous to behold ?-There is no
reason, except that it is ''the fashion"
l think | have heard, however, that all
the irizzing and crimping of the last dozen
years has so broken and ruined the fore
locks of most young women that they re-
sort to cutting them short in order to
strengthen the roots and make these locks
grow smooth and fair again. But didn't
they know all the time, that frizzing and
crimping would break and ruin the hair ?
Why can't they fasten back this fringe, or
shinglc the whole head, not too short, and
and give themselves a respite from all the
tediOusness of pulls and crimps, and rats
and twists and hair-pins and backcombs,
and every ether device invented to torture
woman's hair?
No Simon says thumbs up" and all
the thumbs 60 up. "Simon says ''wig-
wag, aud all the thumbs wig wag. at is

so. at Is net the fashion, and we must
not venture to follow our sense of decency
and good taste. That ends it, of course.
for the class Of women that wear their
hair banged But my heart relents.
There are smart amiable girls and intelli.
gent young women in the ranks of the
