Owe mere than enough 10 nominate him

four states gave M. Tilden zz565I

Mr.. Hayes a plurality Of 6s.96S. The

the nominating convention these south

half as many republicans ut their back
as the Delegates from the four western

It Is n singular fact that during the
seven ballots Mr.. Blaine received an

been four more than were necessary

A short distance from Buena Vista,

n cave inhabited by spiders which diff
fer from other spiders In their enor'
nous size, and are quite useful TO the
needy people Of that region. The cave
was discovered last December by u par
ty OF s~ight-seers, and the spiders and
their work were witnessed. On enter
ing the cave one Is first struck by the
funny looking webs. They are worked
like other webs Of spiders, but every
fiber is ten times Us large ms the ones
woven by ordinary spiders On pass
ing further Into the cav the SPIDER
are encountered. They are about the
sire Of small birds and make a strange
sound while weaving their web. Theil
webs are 50 tough and the ibers sc
large that 1t is almost an impossibility
To break down a web.
Some weeks ago while looking at thu
cave a miner got to examining the webs
Their strands were about the size Of q
number II thread, and he thoughtthai
they could be used for thread. Having
n needle in his possession lie broke OF
one OF the strands and found that it fl

The iron manufactures OF Pennsyl-
vania have fosnd out the folly Of the
blunder into which their greed led them,
when they put up prices TO M extor-
tionate rate. Since 1872 there had not
been such a promising market for their
products. With the general revival OF
business and confidence came a tremen-
dous demand for iron and the manufac-
tuners Immediately began 10 put up
prices at n most reckless rate. They
have not exactly skilled the goose that
was laying golden eggs" but they have
checked the vast improvements and new
enterprises that might nave yielded
them large returns on moderate profits.
Now the Western Iron Association
have been obliged to reduce the prices
OF manufactured iron from four TO three
and one-Hfth cents u pound. Better
late than never.

COLLEGE students are not remark
able for political, or any other, wisdom.
but their preferences for President are
a matter Of some interest, as showing
how the various candidates impress In
telligent, ingenious and enthusiastic
young citizens. II Is. therefore, well
enough TO note the results OF the vari-
Gus Of the colleges on the
Presidential question, as given by tho
Harrurd Echo. Thiry-six colleges
have been heard from. and the total
are: Blaine, 2.227; Grant, l.40s; sher-

A new product made from petroleum
Is n Jelly called .'Vaseline,r which Is Of
the greatest utility In MEDICINE, phar-
macy, and for toilet use. Physicians
all over the world have discovered Its
great value In the treatment OF wounds,
burns, skin diseases, rheumatism, ca
tarrh, and every ailment where n lni-
ment is needed, and In almost every
hospital In America and Europe this
substance Is now In constant use and Is
acknowledged not only TO he the best
treatment, but also one OF the most
important recent additions To medicine.
IL is put up In bottles by the Cheese
brough manufacturing company, Of
New York, and is u family remedy; II
Is without doubt the best in use. Its
healing and pain allaying qualities be-
ing superior to those Of any known
substance, while the speedy relief 1t
affords for palcs and chiIblains Is almost
magical. As an em~ollient, Vaseline Is
way ahead Of anything else, rs It rem
ders the skin smooth, soft and clear,
and our lady friends will find it not
only the best, but perhaps the sole sub
stance which will really preserve and
restore 10 the complexion the hues of
youth, making the cheek like velvet and
the skin like satin. The complexion
powders In common use, are, as a rule,
injurious to the skin and destructive of
any complexion, while Vaseline is en-
tirely healthful and beneficial. There
Is also made a .sPomade Vaseline''
which is said 10 be Of great benefit to
the hair, keeping 1t soft and glossy,
preventing and curing dandrud, and
keeping the scalp healthful and free
from disease, and from those objection
able creatures which sometimes lind n
dwelling place there. Numberless in
stances are cited OF how by the use OF
this pomade thin and falling hair has
resumed a vigorous growth. Both the
pure Vaseline and the pomade are put
up In twenty-five cent bottles, and are
to be found at all first-class druggists,
and we advise our readers to make d
make n trial OF this wonderful sub
stance, and we think they will find its
claims TO merit not in the least exag.
