her rights should be wrested from her by other
States. For twenty-three years, down to
1879, there had been but one State Coz
vention in New York and but one or
called and but one party assembled. Tammany
Hall came with their delegates headed by Kelly,
and were admitted to that convention. This
was at Syracuse. The platform Of the party
was adopted. Mr.. Kelly and his delegates
named the candidates, and others presented the
name Of Lucius Robinson Kelly and his dele
gates arose and said they would not support
Robinson nominated. The friends Of Robin
son stood by him and Kelly and his party
withdrew from the convention That
New York last year. They boIted from tho
party. To-day they come walking over the
slaughtered party of New York mp to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention and ask recogni-
tion. He asserted that John Kelly stood before
the Committee on Credentials and stated in
emphatic language that he and his delegates
would not support the nominee Of this conven-
ton il that nominee WAS Samuel ]. Tilden. A
voice ''Put him out" and hissee.] Would the
convention dare to deny to the sovereign people
Of New York the same right that every
other State was accorded. The right was . sa-
cred one, and no convention had the
right to step in and wrest it from them.
F. N. Westbrook, of Kingston, New York, was
conceded five minutes to address the convention
in in the interests Of the minority.
Rufus W. Pickham, Of Albany, addressed the
convention in behalf the majority report. The
mention Of the name of Tlden by Mr.. Pickham
was q signal for applause and loud cheering.
He traversed the same line of argument as thai
already presented above, favoring the report Ct
the majority.
General Young, Of Georgia, closed the de-
bate.
The question then as TO whether the minor
ity report, SO far it affected the majority re-
port efecting New York should be adopted,
was put with the following result by roll call:

Old Timber.

Probably the Oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
use of man is that found in the ancient
temples of Egypt in connection with the
stonework which is known to be at least
four Thousand years old. This, the only
wood used in the construction of the
temple, is in the form of ties, holding the
end of one stone to another at its upper
surface. When two blocks were laid in
place, an excavation about an inch deep
was made in each block, into which a tie
shaped like an hour-glass was driven.
It is therefore very difficult to force any
stone from its position. The ties appear
to have been of the tamarisk or shittem
wood, of which the ark was constructed,
a sacred tree in ancient Egypt and now
very rarely found in the valley of the
Nile. The dovetailed ties are just as
sound now as on the day of their insertion.
Although fuel is extremely scarce in the
country, these bits of wood are not large
enough to make it an object with the
Arabs to heave off layer after layer to
obtain them. Had they been of bronze
half the old temples would have been
destroyed years ago, so precious would
they have been for various purposes.
