FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June S.-The long contin-
ued balloting had satisfied shrewd politicians
here that neither Blaine nor Grant could be
nominated !; but few had expected that Gar
field would be the winning man. The result,
however, is received with congratulations
and enthusiasm by every Republican, as re-:
lieving the party Of threatening danger and
presenting an almost invincible front.
The Grant and Blaine men say that it was
scarcely possible to select better candidate,
excepting their respective favorites.
have interviewed many senators and con.
gressmen of both parties and send the opin-
ion Of a few as samples of ALL Governor
Clafin, Mr.. Russell and all the Massachu-
sets delegation are delighted. They say
that Garfield is in every respect suitable
man.
Senator Kirkwood says: An excellent Sc
lection. Will unite the party and give a
fine chance of success.
Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois: Next to Grant,
Garfield is the best man and can easily carry
Illinois and makes Ohio sure
Gen. White of Pennsylvania love it.
He can't be beat. Pennsylvania will be
solid. Other Pennsylvania representatives
said that Gar6elds course on the tariff re-
form and reports against the Tucker tariff
bills would insure the vote Of the protection
list States.
Democrats, especially from the South, ex-
press regret that Grant was not selected.
Almost all agree that Garfield is a stronger
candidate than Grant or Blaine, but can be
beaten.
Senator Beck says: We owe something
to Blaine for saving the country from Grant
and all that that implies"
Senator Withers "Stonger than Grant,
but they have done themselves irreparable
injury by the bitter fight in the Convention" 2"
Senator Lamar says that Garfield will prob
ably draw full Republican vote, but he
does not think that it affects the question who
should be our nominee.
Senator Hampton: Too soon to express an
opinion. The fact that Grants supporters
stood together on the last ballot, shows that it
was Blaine nomination. We shall beat
them certain if the Democrats nominate the
right man.
Senator Mcpherson: Garfield will poll a
full vote and make an enthusiastic campaign.
We shall win with any Northern man. No
Republican living can carry New Jersey.
Mr.. Sparkes, Of Indiana: Garfield will be
popular nominee with his party, but he
cannot carry Indiana or Illinois against Bay
ard or Seymour, with man like Hendricks
as Vice President. 1t settles Tilden.
Sunset Cox says that Garfield cannot carry
New York.
Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia, thinks Garfield
the best man in his party, and If Republi-
can is to be President none, is less objectiona-

Senator Johnston thinks that the nomina.

Bayard or Seymour and of Democratic sue,

FROM VIRGINIA..

RICHMOND, Va, June S.-The agony is
over. Grant and Blaine have killed each
other, and cold Edmunds is left out in the
cold.
Garfield, of Ohio, is nominated !; the break
to him being from all parties, beginning with
Window, and from all the States in turn.
Garfield is a strong man. He has been a
violent Radical, but for years past has been a
respected leader of the sensible Republicans
in the House. He is young as politicians 60,
being in his 49th year. He was distin.
gushed volunteer soldier, and is without a
stain on his personal character. Heis bound
neither to Grant, Blaine nor Sherman, and
represents the most enlightened wing Of the
Republican party.
The nomination is welcomed here as that
of an honest and capable man. To oppose
him the Democrats must take some such
candidate as Bayard. Then we would have
good types Of the two parties, and an honest
man and statesman in either event.
Virginia is delighted that neither the Third
Term nor personal corruption has triumphed
at Chicago Grant would have been threat,
and Blaine disgrace to our institutions.
With Bayard or Seymour, we believe we
can beat Garfield if we have in fact Demo
cratic majority. If we have not, then we
shall have in Garfield President as good as
could be expected from the Republican ranks.

Blaine has been doing the same thing, and
when they found that they could not wiz
themselves, they simply combined on Garfield
to beat Grant That's the whole of it.
"Who do you think would be the strongest
man that the Democracy could put in the
field against Garfield ?"
Bayard, of Delaware, withouta doubt. He
is the man for the Democratic party. He is
man of unquestionable ability and integ.
rity. No man in either party doubts the
honesty of Bayard. From his political stand.
point he does everything for what he consid
ers the good of the people. Of course, politi,
cally, we don't like him but we can't help
admiring him as man, and deep down in
the inmost recesses of every mans heart
there is this feeling, that if even Bayard was
elected, the country would not be burst by it.
He is man against whom there is not likely
to be active opposition. You can't work hard
and earnestly against man that you feel
would make a good President 1t is just
this very same quality which, in My opinion,
would have elected Grant He is thorough.
ly popular and would have had no active or
violent opposition just because the people
who preferred another RAN believed that he
would make good president. In my opin-
ion the Republican party has made great
mistake and if the Democratic party nomi-
mates Bayard there will be as close tug as
this country has ever seen.
This ended the conversation and the Re.
porter withdrew.
District Attorney Northrop was overjoyed
at the nomination. He was first and last an
enthusiastic Sherman man, but says, failing
that, Garfield was the best nomination posi-
Bile. He says that it is stronger endorse
ment of President Hayes administration than
the plank of the platform. He believes that
Garfield will sweep the country and that
Republican principles have triumphed.
The colored politicians who live the Lord
knows how, and who congregate every day
in the lobby of the Courthouse and in the
sheriff''s Office, were all very down in the
mouth. The most of them had set their
hearts upon having Grant, and the few who
had lost faith in Grant were welded to
Blaine. They wanted candidate who had
boom on him, and Garfield they know so
little about that they don't know whether to
hurrah or to groan for him. The political
faith of the colored people like their religion,
is intensely emotional, and, unless something
occurs to stir up little boom for Garfield,
he will not be received with much enthusi
asm by the colored Republicans Of South
Carolina.

HEADACHE AND ITS CAusE.-Bilious head
ache, or such as arise from disordered con.
dition of the stomach, usually affects one side
of the head only, most commonly over one
eye, and increases to an acute and often throb-
bing pain. 1t is often accompanied with a
feeling of sickness and vomiting, producing
1anguor and depression of spirits. Rheu1aat-
ic headache is commonly caused by exposure
to cold, and the pains is of shifting nature,
shooting from point to point, and is felt most
at night. ALI kinds of remedies have been
used for headache. For headache arising
from weak stomach, bitter tonic is usual
ly prescribed Among the favorite 1nedi-
cines and one that very frequently proves
effective, if persevered in month or two
or three, is "quassia," the wood and bark
of plant that grows in some parts of
South America, and was prescribed by
negro as specific. The chips are soaked in
water, and few sips Of the bitter water are
taken three or four times day.

FROM MISSOURI.

ST.. LOUIS, June 8.-The nomination of
Garfield is looked upon as the result of an
unreasoning panic, borne of the necessity to
break the deadlock Of Monday and Sunday
night. The friends of Blaine were the ear
liest to discover that one of the prominent
candidates could succeed in selecting Garfield.
A coup dstat was intended aud successfully
carried out to throttle both Grant and Sher-
man.
Viewed from Democratic standpoint, the
result is regarded here as forcing Thurman
out of the field, and as throwing the Cincin-
natl nomination to the East in order to take
proper advantage of the rage of Conkling,
whose influence is at least paralyzed in the
coming campaign.
Had Grant been nominated, there would be
good reasons to think Ohio would have gone
largely Democratic. That State must now
be considered quite as sure if sure at all,
with any Democrat as with one from Ohio.
The common expression here about it is,
that with Gar6elds salary grab and Credit
Mobilier record, and with his treachery to
Sherman, together with his mediocrity as a
public man, he is about as weak candidate
as could have been put in the field.

QUEEN OF ALL.-Honor the dear old
mother. Time has scattered the snowy
flakes on her brow, plowed deep burrows on
her cheek, but is she not sweet and beauti-
full now? The lips are thin and shrunken,
but those are the lips which have kissed
many hot tear from the childish cheeks,
and they are the sweetest lips in all the
world. The eye is dim, yet it g lows with
the soft radiance of holy love which can new
er fade. Ah, yes, she is dear old mother.
The sands of life are nearly run out, but
feeble as she is, will 60 further and reach
down lower for you than any other upon
earth. You cannot walk in a midnight
where she cannot see you. You cannot enter
a prison whose bars keep her out. You can
not mount scahold too high for her to reach,
that she may kiss and bless you in evidence
of her deathless love. When the word shall
despise and forsake you, when it leaves you
by the wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you lin her feeble arms
and carry you home and tell you of ali your
virtues until you almost forget that your
soul is disfgured by vice. Love her tenderly,
and cheer her declining year, with holy devo'
tion.

terry in Arabia, who desirous Of preventing
the monks from sleeping at their nocturnal
services, made them drink the infusion Of
coffee upon the reports of shepherds, who OBJ
served chat their aocks were more lively after
browsing on the fruit of that plant. Its rep

single plant, brought there in TIA, became
the parent stock of all the French coffee
plantations in the West Indies. The Dutch
introduced it into Java and the East Indies.

How COFFEE CAME TO BE UsED.-It is
somewhat singular to trace the manner in
which arose the use of the common beverage
of coffee, without which few persons, in any
half or fully civilized country in the world,

covered America, it had never been known
or used. It grew only in Arabia and Upper
Ethiopia. The discovery of its use as bev-

PHILADELPHIA, June S.-The news of
General Gar6elds nomination was we'll re-
ceived in this city. The members of the
Stock Board were particularly boisterous in
their expressions of enthusiasm. Dispatches
from outlying country towns all testify to the
great satisfaction felt by the Republicans with
the choice of the Convention.

FROM OHIO.

CINCINNATI, June 8.-The news of the
nomination of Garfield creates very general
satisfaction and no little enthusiasm among
the Republicans here. Garfield is "a favor
ite son." As such his nomination is naturally
satisfactory to the party, and this, with per-
sonal popularity, makes him strong candi.
date in Ohio. Unless an Ohio man is put up
against him, the State may be surely counted
Republican in November next.
On the streets the bulletin boards were
watched with much interest, and when the
announcement of the nominations came in,
the enthusiasm was great. At the Lin
coin Club to night, Stanley Matthews and
Gen. Hickenlooper, both Grant men, made
strong speeches for the nominees, as did also
Gov. Cox and Murat Halstead.
Cannons, fireworks, music and speeches are
the order to night. There is feeling too
that the nomination for second place will
give the ticket much strength in New York,
and that the Cincinnati Convention must
nominate some one who can poll the entire
Democratic vote of that State.

New YORK, June 8.-Republicans do moi
now disguise the fact that Blaine and Grant
were both distasteful and forced upon the par
ty by the machine. New York Republicans
are beaming and congratulaling each other.

mule on the Ohio canal tow path, lines in one
hand and his lesson book in the other.
Against him, with his record as selfmade
man, an honest worker and good soldier, we
cannot put up Tilden."
In the lobby of the hotels and on the side
walk, this seems to be the general verdict, and
Bayard has suddenly acquired Importance

is much glee, coupled with the remark that

but the popular voice will be too strong for
him, and some pure man, like Bayard, for
whom men can vote with clear conscience,
will get it to the great relief and delight Of
the Democratic party.
Arthur's nomination is, of course, much
liked by New York.

GARFIELD AS A LEADER.
As leader in the House, he is more eau
tious and less dashing than Blaine, and his
judicial turn of mind makes him too prone
to look for two sides of question for him to
be an efficient partisan. When the issue
fairly touches his convictions, however, he
becomes thoroughly aroused and strikes tre
mendous blows. Blaine's tactics were to
continually harass the enemy by sharp shoot
ing surprises and picket firing. Garfield
waits for an opportunity to deliver pitched
battle, and his generalship is shown to best
advantage when the fight is a fair one and
waged on grounds where each party thinks
itself strongest Then his solid shot of
argument are exceedingly effective. On the
stump Garfield is one Of the very best ora
tors in the Republican party. He has a good
voice, an sir of evident sincerity, great clear
ness and vigor Of statement, and way of
knitting his arguments together so as to make
speech deepen its impression on the mind
of the hearer until the climax is reached.
Of his industry and studious habits great
deal might lie said, but single illustration
will have to suffice here. Once during the
busiest part of very busy session at Wash
ington, I found him in his library, behind a
big barricade of books. This was no unusual
sight; but when l glanced at the volumes |
saw that they were all different editions OF
Horace or books relating to that poet. IL

comparatively unknown to the great mass Of
the Republican people. 1t is true that he has
been somewhat of leader of the Republi-
cans in the House of Representatives, but he
has made many blunders in that role and
has acquired reputation in the party of
being not altogether reliable. He is erratic,
and has too often placed his friends in a po-
sition that they would rather have kept out
of. In my opinion, there is another great
objection to Garfield Like all men who are
leading politicians in doubtful States, he is
great intriguer and compromiser. Hayes,
who comes from the same State, is just like
him. He is always ready for bargain. 1t
was just this very thing that put Hayes in
office and made Hampton and Nichols Gov.
ernors of South Carolina and Louisiana. |
don't know whether Garfield had hand in
this particular bargain or not; but I rather
think he was too close at hand not to have
been into it. l should have thought that the
Republican party had had enough of this,
and would have selected a man from any
other State than Ohio.
AS to the effect of this nomination upon
the Republican party, l think it will produce
apathy and Indifference He not the kind
OF man that would inspire q man to 60 out
and strain every muscle for. Now, if Grant
had received the nomination, he would have
been elected by the enthusiasm of the people.
Nothing could have beaten him.
"Well, Major, how do you account for
Grants defeat? Do you attribute it to the
Third-term objection p
Not at all. There was really little force
in the Third-term bugbear. The German
element was said to be against Grant on that
account, but the German element is very un.
certain. Carl Schurz is opposed to Grant Of
course; but the mass of the Germans by no
means follow Schurz implicitly. No, that is
not the cause of Grants defeat l am COM
