NOMINEES FOR PRESIDENT.

THE GREAT CONFLICT PROLONGED.
AN EvENTFuL DAY AT CHICAGO ENDS IN AN AD'
JouRNMENr TO MoNDAY-GREAT ENTHU-
s1AsM FOR BLAINE-THE "UNIT RULE"
DESTROYED AND PLATFORM ADoPTED-A
GREAT GRANT DEFEAT AT THE DAY SESSION.
Tn tho National Republican Convention
Yesterday, the disputes regarding the
Contested seats were settled Rules and
the Platform were adopted, and at the
night session candidates were nomi-
mated. The Convention adjourned at mid
night to reassemble on Monday morning. Great
enthusiasm continues to be manifested for
Blaine.
After deciding early on day morning
that the Illinois anti"Grant contestants were
entitled to seats, the delegates reassembled yes
terday forenoon and decided the contests for
seats in the Kansas, West Virginia and Utah
cases. A spirit of fairness dominated through
out, and the votes were not of much slgnin-
canoe as trials of strength.
AS soon as the contests were disposed or,
General Sharpe, in the interest of the Grant
faction, moved that the Convention proceed TO
nominate candidates for President. General
Garfield made vigorous speech in opposition,
demanding that the Convention should adopt
rules for its guidance before proceeding to
further business. On vote by roll-cali,
General Sharpe's motion was defeated by
q vote of 479 to 276.
The rules as reported by General Garfield
were then adopted They nullfy the so-called
"unit rule"
The Platform, as reported by the Hon.
Edwards Pierrepont, with the addition of
Civil Service plank proposed by Mr.. Barker,
of Massachusetts, was then adopted.

AMERICAN SOCIALISM,

Here is an extraordinary point In the
present condition of this country, writes
an Englishman travelling in the United
States. America is, as all would agree,
an industrial country, and yet I do verify
believe that not even in Germany is so
much drilling, so much individual pre-.
paration made to fight in mass, and so
much organization Of the masses so
drilled, as in America to-day. The Free
Masons, most important body here, are
always on the drill; then there is the
militia-quite a separate organization Of
course; the Army of the Great Republic,
Isle, Ia Republican organization,) OF
which Grant is the head, which has its
customs and meeting places, and other
organizations of various kinds. In ad.
dition to these there are the working
class unions and socialist bodies, most
powerful in Chicago, and they drill, too.
1t has come upon one as sort of reve-
lation. What are they all after? Ask
them and they cannot tell you, except,
perhaps, the socialists, and they are hazy
enough as to what they want. Most OF
those whom I have inquired Of as to
what this access of military Juror means
had not even noticed it until / asked the
question, and then they admitted that it
is so, and that it is very odd Pail

SOUND TRAVELS.

The next remarkable feature OF the
storm is the thunder, corresponding, OF
course, on the large scale, to the snap
of an electric spark. Here we are on
comparatively sure ground, for sound is
much more thoroughly understood than
is electricity. We speak habitually and
without exaggeration of the crash of
thunder, the rolling of thunder and of
peal of thunder; and various other
terms will suggest themselves to you as
being aptly employed in different cases.
All of these are easily explained by
known properties of sound. The origin
of the sound is, in all cases, to be looked
for in the instantaneous and violent
dilation of the air along the track of the
lightning fash, partly, no doubt, due to
the descriptive effects of electricity of
which have already spoken, but mainly
due to the excessive rise of temperature
which renders the air for moment so
brilliantly incandescent There is thus
an extremely sudden compression of
the air all round the track of the spark,
and less sudden, but still rapid, rush
of the air into the partial vacuum
which it produces. Thus the sound
wave produced must at first be of the
nature of bore or breaker. But at
such state of motion is unstable, after
proceeding a moderate distance the
sound becomes analogous to other loud
but less violent sounds, such as those
OF the discharge of guns. Were there
few clouds, were the air OF nearly uni
form density, and the flash short one,
this would completely describe the
phenomenon, and we should have a
thunder crash OF thunder clap, accord
ing to the greater or less proximity Of
the seat of discharge. But, as has long
been we'll known, not merely clouds but
surfaces of separation of masses of air
of different density, such as constantly
occur in thunder-storms, reflect vibra-
tions in the air; and thus we may have
many successive echoes, prolonging the
original sound. But there is another
cause, often more efficient than these.
When the flash is long one, all its
parts being nearly equidistant from the
observer, he hears the sound from all
these parts simultaneously; but ii its
parts be at very different distances from
him he hears successfully the sounds
from portions further and further distant
from him. If the flash be much zig
Jagged, long portions of it's course may
run at one and the same distance from
him, and the sounds from these arrive
simultaneously at his ear. Thus we
have no difficulty in accounting for the
rolling and pealing of thunder. It is,
IN foot n oaIs,
of the reflection of sound, sometimes of
the finite velocity with which it travels.

PRESIDENT The door-keepers jumped
as if they had been shot, and rushing to
the door flung it wide open, and the
new president burst upon their aston
ished gaze. He was a short, thick-set
man, about forty years of age, dressed
in dark-blue flannel suit, and with a
red mustache. He smiled condescend-
ingly upon the nearly petrifed door
keepers and walked calmly into the
corridor, and taking his station exactly

Portable" Then, turning to the specta-
tors, he announced, solemnly, 81 am
the great chief ruler of the universe, the
selection of the people," Some incred-
ulity being expressed as to the truth of
this statement, he said that he had the
papers to prove it. They were, how
ever, state papers and as he had not
selected his cabinet he did not like to
show them. However, he would show
a portion of them. He then handed
over to Sergt. Dinsmore two papers
which proved to be honorable dis
charges from the 4th cavalry and the
9Th artillery. He then wanted to be
shown to his room at once, but he
was told his papers were not salts

"Well, them" he said gravely, 81 feel

But he was told he was not going to his
rooms in the White House. Then he
grew very indignant and said that if he
had known it he would have brought
$4,000 soldiers along with him. He was
still unappeased when he left. Once q
year or oftener these curious characters
suddenly turn up at the White Heuse
and where they come from or where
they disappear to, no one seems tc

mentioned one of the lowest things on
earth. Madam, you are wrong; it is one
of the most useful articles of food.
Those ancient nations did not know
food science, but they knew the value OF
good and nourishing things, and gave
them the place of honor which they de-.
served. Cabbages were thought OF
highly by ancient nations, and the
Egyptians gave the cabbage the honor
of letting it precede all their other
dishes; they called it divine dish. The
Greeks and Romans had great affection
for cabbage, and conceived the idea,
which I have myself, that the use OF
cabbage keeps people from drunkenness.

of certain vegetables kills the desire fo1

of the cabbage than the Greeks. They

EDUCATING INDIANS.

When they first began to make beds,
the sheets were either tucked up under
the pillows or laid on the outside. One
boy was found to have seven sheets,
who did not know the proper use OF
two. The janitor helped me carry a
bedstead into the sitting groom. The
boys were called in and seated in semi
circle, and began the process of bed
making, the boys grunting and laugh
ing as it proceeded. When the clothes
were neatly tucked in and the pillows
shaken and put into place, I said:
"Now, boys, 1 will show you how to
get into bed," which / did. Then,
through the interpreter, l asked who
was willing to try it. He had hardly
put the question when boy who had
objected to having his hair cut, when
he first came, stepped forward. He be-
gan where I did and followed every
movement, so closely had he observed.
No sooner did he finish than there was
stunning applause. He was then
asked to show us how to go to bed; and
when his head touched the pillow and
he drew the clothing up round him, up
went another shout. - Southern Work

CONVERTING A ROUGH,

AN ANCIENT COPPER MINE.

One of the curiosities OF Arizona is an
ancient copper mine on the east side OF
the Verde. By whom it was worked
it would be hard to determine. Pos.
sibly by the Aztecs; more likely by the
Apaches. This is more reasonable, as
the mine has not been worked for the
metal in the ore, but for the paint.
There are now on the dump rich and
easily worked carbonates, while every
spot where high-colored, soft material
showed itself has been worked out.
Several rock tools which have been
found, With battered edges, and stains OF
ore on them, prove that implements Of
stone were used. They ran tunnel into
the ledge nine feet high and from six to
eight feet wide. 1t is about twenty feet
long. In places there are walls built
and the waste matter thrown behind

SKINNED RICHES,

Until the recent rains there was more
oil running in many of the creeks near
Bradford, Pa, than there was water, the
tankage for petroleum being insufficient
to store the over-production. Last
August Hugh Potts was out of work.
He leased plot of ground near Tar
port. The Tuna creek runs through it.
Potts put boom across the creek. He
had large tin boat pump made. BY
the time he had built 250-barrel tank
on the bank of the creek his boom had
collected pool of waste oil that stood
six inches deep on the water, and cover
ed space enough 70 hold many hundred
barrels. Potts went to work pumping
the oil out of the dam by hand. He
filled his tank in three days. Then he
put up four other tanks. When these
were done freshet came. The boom
was carried away, and with it ten thou.
sand barrels of oil that had collected
Since then Potts has filled his five
tanks, besides selling several hundred
barrels at 81 barrel. The Geld weather
has thickened the oil in the creek, SC
that it cannot be pumped. Potts is hay.
ing boiler put up on his lease, and in,
tends to inject steam by numerous jets
into the lake of oil. This he thinks
will reduce the oil to pumping con.
sistency. He says that if he had com
menced business sooner he would have
had $4,000 barrels of oil on hand now
He sells the oil to Buffalo, Franklin
and Chicago parties. 1t is mixed with
franklin oil and used as a lubricator
Potts has made $4,000 since he put ur
his dam in August. He says collecting
the oil that others waste is better thar
owning any of the wells. There are now
standing in his dam 5000 barrels of pc
troleum, which is increased by hundreds
of barrels daily.
