In testing grain the Brass Kettles
don't all tell the same story. a sam
pie of wheat tested ut Bigelow 81 lbs.
per bus1lel and was worth q cts. A
sample from the same lot ut Rushmore
tested So lbs. worth IS cts. At Worth
ington, from the same sack, the testing
scale stood at ST lbs. strong, and was
worth SO cts. per bushel, making diff
ference OF q cents on the same grain,
and in precisely the same conditio -
by Fairbank' Standard Scales, guaran-
teed to be correct.
Query?-Are grain testing scales in
cluded in the list Of weights and meas
ures Which are required by law to have
an o0icial seal or certificate of correct
ness? Have we 4 scale of weights and
measures? Do penalties attach for the
use Of ''light weights?" Evidently
those scales and measures used for test
ing and grading grain are not all Of
them correct. It is thought to be ex-
tremely doubtful in fact whether dnY
of them are reliable.

We regret that the original action Of the
convention was not adhered to. Though Mr..
Jacobs is not as widely known or as popular
as Gov. Robinson, he has fewer bitter enc
mics, and while he would not have inspired
any particular enthusiasm, he would have
commanded the vote of united party. A
few days will probably determine how far the
opposition of Tammany will be carried, and
how stronga power it will exert upon it's fol-
lowers as we'll as upon the Democratic party
of the State at large. 1t is, not improbable
that the leaders will find that they cannot
deliver the votes they assume to carry in
their pockets, and that the regard Of the rank

THE NEW YORK CONTENTION.

THE NEW YORK CONTENTION.
It is to be feared that the Democracy of
New York have taken step fatal to their
prospects of success. After nominating
Hon. John O. Jacobs, of Brooklyn, for gov
ernor-a man who, though warm personal
friend of Mr.. Tilden was yet unobjection-
able to his opponents-that action was re-
scinded and Gov. Robinson was placed in
nomination for reelection. OF course Tam
many Hall carried out the threat previously
made, and withdrew from the convention
amid great uproar. What the outcome will
be We cannot at this writing predict
This action will no doubt endanger the
success of the State ticket, for, disreputable
as Tammany has made the Democratic party
appear, it cannot be denied that that organi-
zation holds the balance of power. It prob
ably controls nearly forty thousand
votes, which have usually been cast
for the candidates of the Democratic
party. These votes will now
in al probability be cast for an independent
candidate if not directly for the Republican
nominee. The Democratic majority in the
State is not sufficiently large to afford this
loss, and unless Gov. Robinson shall draw
largely from the Republican party he will
probably fail of an election. His friends,
however, are confident of his popularity
among the people, and as he is backed by
all of Mr.. Tilden's influence they think he
can dispense with the support of the Tam
many crowd. If the party could get rid of

strange Changes ~ q Mans Hair,
Harrisburg Patriot

Obadiah J. Farling is 80 years old and by
Trade plasterer. By reference to the city
directory it will be seen that he resides at
the corner of Penn street and Saysorl
avenue. He served in the army and during
his term of service suffered from a severe
attack of scarlet fever When the fever left
him he found that his hair, which had for
merly been a bright auburn in color, was
changed to decided gray. Several weeks
ago he employed John A. Herman, q your.
lawyer of this city, to make application for
pension which is due him. The application
containing description of applicant az a
gray-haired man, was duly forwarded, and
Mr.. Herman saw nothing more of his client
for some time. The other day Farlin,.
walked into the lawyers office, and, as he
took off his hat and remarked that he hal
just recovered from an attack of inf1amma-
tory rheumatism, Mr.. Herman was agtound.
cd to discover that the man whom he had
recently described in the pension application
as gray headed now possessed CROP q.
bright auburn hair, with not q gray lock on
his head. The man is unable to give an ex-
PLANTATION of the change, and MI. Herna,
ls naturally somewhat concerned about thu
discrepancy between his description and tia
actual appearance Of his client.
