A Novel Wedding Tour.

4 pretty little romance of the war
 has just found it's way into print.
 The incidents of the story are fifteen
 years old, but had they occurred as
 far back as the revolution their in
 terest would warrant their recital.
 The tale is that of wedding tour
 perhaps the most remarkable we'd
 ding tour on record. A Texan
 soldier, belonging to JOhnson's army
 during his wanderings fell in love
 with Il North Carolina girl. He
 could not stay with his charmer, but
 was called Gy duty to other parts of
 the country. He went clear through
 the contest, was twice wounded and once made prisoner, and when tEc
 great struggle was over he went to seetSis North Carolina girl. Her -.tIIer had fafiou at AlauasSas and her mother reduced in circumstances The Texan soldier was young and stalwart. and he set to work to put the widows desolaie farm to rights. The task accomplished, he was ready -almos'-tO go and see his old mother in Texas. from whom he had not heard for two years. l. was hard 10 leave his sweetheart, but he had no money and did not see how he could take her. She said, however, that she would go with him. It was d clear case of "whither thou gOest I will go, and they -tarted of, after a marriage ceremony, on foOt, for the distant home of the gtoom. They took neither staff nor scrip, but only knapsacks on their backs. People along the route were very kind to them and they were never turned off at night. Occasionally they got lift from a teamster At New Or leans they got passes from the mili- tary to enable them to cross the river. The commanding General noticed that the brides shoes were nearly gone and whispered to one of his aides who went out and soon return ed with pair of new shoes which she thankfully received as q present. The young couple went on through Louisiana toward the sunset. At last they reached the home of the young mans mother, on the Nueces River They had tramped sixteen hundred miles. They may have been tired but they were beyond doubt healthy and happy. Their pluck will make their whole lives successful, and there can be no question of the quality of their love.-St. Louis Republican.

New York Politics.

No matter what the result may be in the vigorously contested State of Maine; no matter what the result may be in Indiana, which will be contested with equal vigOr; if the Democratic party in the deciding State of New York should not main tain solid front, the defeat of Gen. Hancock is inevitabl It is bad tac- ties to have this question left doubt ful for more than two months after the nomination of General Hancock If the combined influence of the Democratic National Committee ana the general sentiment of the party cannot unite the party in the lndiS- pensdble State of New York, the chances for General HancOck's cleo ton are slender, indeed. If he loses New York, all is lost and il remains doubtful whether the New York Democracy will act as a unit The Democratic canvass is egrcgiously mismanaged when the join public opinion of the party at large and the influence of the Democratic National COrImittee have failed 10 re-establish harmony in State whose vote will contrO! the election. The New York feud may vel lie healed, but ii would have been worth thousands of votes to close it Immediately after General Hancock's nomination. It is not certain that it will be healed at ali, and if it remains open Mr. Garfield will be the next President N. |. Herald.

A lady writes to the Minnesota Farmer: 'For three years I have lived in town, and during that time my sitting room has been free from flies, three or four only walking about my breakfast-table, while all the ncighbors' rooms were crowded. I often congratulated myself on my escape, but never knew the reason of it until few days ago. 1 have had occasion to move my goods to an other house while l remained a few days longer. Among other things moved were two geraniums ana calccolarias which stood in my win dows, being always open to their full extent, top and bottom. The boxes were not gone half an hour before my room was as full of flies as those around me. This, to me, is q new discovery, and perhaps may serve to encourage others in that which is al ways a source of pleasure-namely window gardening Mignonette planted in long, shallow boxes placed on the window-sill will be found ex- cellent for this purpose"

How Elaine Conducts the Can
 Vass in Maine.

MT. Blaine has been sitting beside
 the telegraph instrument all day.
 His private Secretary, T. c. Sherman, i is an experienced telegrapher, and 1 Blaine directs the campaign in
 Maine almost entirely by wire. Ii a
 man in Bangor or Portland, or both,
 desires to consult with AIr Blaine,
 or give him any information, he steps into the telegraph office and writes his dispatch. In a few moments it is ia MT. Blaine's hands, and an
 answer is dictated immediately, and
 the man receives an answer before
 he leaves the office from which It is
 sent. Blaine, who is familiar with every town in Maine, as well as with
 the peculiariiics of most of the in
 habitantS, half of whom he can call
 by name, will telegraph some citizen
 of a town, from which doubtful
 voters are reported, asking him t0 use his influence with men named,
 and to notify headquarters at once of the result. In few hours Blaine
 will receive a telegram from the gen tleman, saying for instance: - have seen John Doe and Richard Roe as I6Qu6Steu- lue lOTIler VIII NOte with me; the latter is doubtful. He expresses a high regard for you, but does not like the candidates" On viewing such information, Mir. Blaine will at once address q tele- gram to Richard Roe, saying: "I fully appreciate your embarrassment, but you must look behind the men and vote for the principles they rep resent. You are looked upon as a 1 leader in thought and action among | your associates. and l hope, as a per sonal favor to me, you will not only | vote but work with us" An appe9l | like this can have but one result. | Roe goes with the Republicans.

The Maricopa County Convention ! on the 9th inst. nominated J. ". Nc
 Cormick, of Richmond Basin, P J. BOlan, of Phoenix, and Capt. N. Sharp, of Tempe, for Representa- tives, Thos. Greenhaw for Probate Judge and L. H. Orme for Sheriff From this distance it seems a sort of mixed ticket. Don't know anything about Mccormick; Capt. Sharp is honest, and Bolan is supposed to con trol the Mexican vote without special reference 10 the Iegiti macy of the means by which it is done. Bolan's nomination was no doubt forced concession to his prowess as a ''cOn- nubiatOr'' that the convention would have been glad to have avoid ed if they dared. Thos. Greonhaw is one of the "Muldoons' of Phoenix, has made a fair Justice, and though by no means the equal in fitness for the position with Judge Alsap, whom he defeated, is nevertheless, quite popular. L. II. Orme has been Sheriff before and seemed to give sat isfaction.-Miner,S Sept. 9.
 TThc Miner is mistaken. L. II. Orme was never Sheriff of Maricopa county. He was nominated for the position twice and was beaten both times, as he will be again in Novem- ber-ED. HERALD.

The numbers are thus arranged on the
wall, and pupils are required to repeat or
write on the board the products of the num-
bers in the first column by either digit in the
second. The plan is better than questioning;
for it saves talking on the part Of the teach
er, and enables him to find out what pacticu-
lar combination the pupils fail on. The pu-
pill can then study this combination instead of
rambling over what he already knows.
Reduce IA to a decimal. and give reason
of rule. The methods of explaining this rule
in most artihmetics are Objectionable, as the
operation used in explaining is quite different
from that ordinarily used and required by the
rule. aySis-AnneXing two ciphers to
the numerator multiples the fraction by 100 :;
dividing now by 4, the quotent 25, is 100
times too large. Pointing off as many decimal
places as ciphers annexed divides the quotent
by 100. and corrects the error. The above
