1t has grown into fashionable custom
Of late to have mock auction sale of the
prettiest girls at church festivals. 1t tends
to increase the resources Of the church,
and it also very clearly demonstrates
in which way the affections of youth are
bent. For 1t is reasonable to suppose that
no lover will permit his sweetheart to be
knocked down to rival until he has ex-
pended his last cent in the effort to become
the fortunate purchaser. Acting upon
this idea fashionable church in Denver
is preparing for festival, in which the
auction business is to form prominent
feature. 1t has put the young ladies in
quite dutter of excitement and unhap-
PLY at this early stage of the novelty
for, however common in the East, it is a
novelty here-has come very near wreck
ing the future happiness of two estimable
young creatures. The facts in the case
are these: A young gentleman who con-
fesses to an amiabe weakness for one of
the young ladies who is to be disposed of
on the occasion referred to, called on his
dulcinea few evenings since, and very
naturally the subject Of the festival came
up.
"I'm to be sold, Charley, did you know
it," exclaimed the enchantress.
"No! are you, thought l suppose I
shall have to buy you"
"Of course But how much do you
suppose | will sell fori"
This was naive inquiry, but it led to
moment of brief but sagacious specula-
ton. If he had any rival the girl was
likely to go high; if he didn't have any it
would appear as if he was investing in an
exceedingly cheap article.
~ don't know" The words were long
drawn, and his face was grave. 81 sup
pose dollar or two"
If he had reflected moment longer he
never would have made this observation.
1t was born, however, Of sense of econ
omy, and he had no idea of what it would
lead to. But as the words fell from his
lips he looked at his inamorata and caught
the fash Of indignant blue eyes which
made his heart sink
"One or two dollars, rs,indeed! will sell
for fifty at the lowest"
"I cannot buy you, thenp
"Sir" and the lady's face was rigid with
amazement.
That isl mean to say--confound It
Maria, cannot spare that much money,
and the poor fellow looked appealingly al
the divinity which was about to shape the
end of his purse. But the disaster had
come. The young lady rose from .hel
seat like queen, and with the cruel re-
mark that gentleman who thought sc
much of $50 was not a suitable person tc
encourage as a lover, sailed majestically
| from the room.
And now that young mans soul is con
vulsed with anguish, and his remarks up
on church festivals are fearful to contem
plate.

The gas-wells of East Liverpool, Ohio,
are worthy of being ranked among the
"wonders of the world" They are situa-
ted, writes correspondent Of the Cleve-
land "Herald," in and around the town,
and give ii a continual supply of light, the
gas being almost as free as air. 1t costs
practically nothing, and both heats and
lights the town. The street lamps are
ablaze day as well as night, for it costs
nothing to supply the gas, and 1t takes
trouble TO shut it of. Then the gas is al.
most the only fuel employed in the town
being conducted into the CRATES and stoves
by pipes. 1t is also used for generating
steam power for sundry great pottery
manufactures, employing upward Of 2,ooo
workmen. The first OF the wells was
opened twenty years ago, and there are
no signs of exhaustion. - -

This is to certify that have used DR.. Tobias
Horse Venetian Liniment and Derby Condition
Powders, on my raee-hoxes and found them give
perfect satisfaction. In fact they have never
failed to cure any ailmeut for which they were
used; the Liniment, when rubbed in by the hand,
never blisters or takes the hair off; it has more
penetrative qualities than any other have tried,
which suppose is the secret Of its wonderful suc-
cess In curing sprains. The ingredients from
which the Derby Powders are made have been
made known to me by DR.. Tobias; they are per-
fectly harmless. d. MCDANIEL.

TUE ONO CONVENTIONS.

The prime object Of the Conventions
which meet at Columbus tomorrow will
be 10 nominate the man who can poll
the most votes against THE FosrER ticket
The idea that Ohio would become the
battle ground upon which to decide the
Presidential issues is fast being dissi-
mated. The contest is assuming every
dav more Of the character OF a local fight.
FOSTER was nominated, not because he
was the ARREST representative ofhis party
in relation 10 the National issues, but,
first, because of his local strength, and
secondly, by reason OF the weakness OF
the GRANr-TAFr element and bloody
shirt-bayonet regime. He represents
SHERMAN simply in that he does not
represent GRANT.
The opponent OF FOSTER will proba-
bly, be no more nearly allied to, or rep
resentative Of Il presidential aspirants
than is Foster himself. The only thing
now at stake outside of the local govern
ment is the electoral votes OF the State,
and this will hardly be determined with
any degree Of certainty.
The great interest must necessarily
centre in the relative action OF the two
conventions that meet on the same day.
Tie Nationals do not, We think, pre-
sumo upon strength sufficient 10 carry
an independent ticket. Yet they hold
the balance Of power. They feel their
importanceto a degree that will not fore
90 independent action. They are, per-
haps, unwilling to enter into a pro-
nounced coalition with the Democrats.
They are averse 70 being swallowed up.
But their preference will doubtless be
with the Democratic over the Repub-
lican nominee, whoever he may be.
Their interest, therefore, rs well as
the interest OF the Democrats is to start
together. A little adrOit maneuyering
on the part Of the leaders in both con-
ventions will bring about a coalition in
fact, if not in name, that will insure Il
victory crcditable to both conventions.
The Democrats can afford to be cOurte-
Gus even to giving precedence to the
Nationals in naming the man that will
be acceptable 10 the Democrats. A CO.
alition means certain victory. A victory
is what both conventions aspire TO-.
They would each do well to attain it in
dependently, if they can-but have the
victory.
