1t is given out that a good deal Q
quiet work has been stealthily done IL
New York for Abraham s. Hewitt as
"dark horse" within few days.
Gen. johnson Hagood, the nomine,
of the Democratic party of South Caro-
lima for Governor, has been the Control
ler General of the State since 1876. HI
is successful planter, fine executive
officer, and his ambition is limited tc
one term as Governor Of his State.
The Butler Democrats of Massachu
setts have decided to send q full State
delegation to the Cincinnati conven.
ton, and, as the regular Democrat:
have already selected their men, II
thus seems that there will be double
delegation from the Bay State, at Gin.
cinnati.
Senator Window actually had an
idea that lightning was going to strike
him. He wandered around Washing
ton in a nervous sort of way while the
convention was in session, looked ex-
pectant when news from Chicago was
received, and received much sympathy
from brother Senators and others.
Mr.. Brown, the new Georgia Sena-
tor, is said to have clerical look, and
wears long, white whiskers tapering to
a point. He is Baptist, and lately
presented $4,000 to his denomination.
Gen. Gordon is also an active church
member, often praying and preaching
in camp and church. Gov. Colquitt is
a member of the Methodist General
Conference, president of the Interna-
tional Sunday School Association, and
good lay preacher.
Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, of whom
there has been some talk as the nomi-
nee at Cincinnati, is cousin of Stephen
A. Douglas, for whom he made stall
wart speech at Charleston. He read
law in the office of John G. Spencer,
settled in Cleveland in 1888, married
rich and made fortune before he was
forty, but has not been successful to
any marked degree as candidate for
office, though he was an admitted lead
er of the Democratic party in his State.
Ben Wade beat him for the Senator
ship, and Salmon P .:.Chase beat him for
the Governorship. Heis hard-mOney
man, and has plenty of it.
Mr. Hugh J. Jewett is said to be not
ed at his old Ohio home, ST. Clairisville,
for his integrity, close attention to bus
mess. quiet courtesy and sincerity of
character. "Gath" quotes an Ohian as
saying that Mr.. Jewett's manner, gen.
orally calm and gentle, somewhat
changed when he argued case before
the court. Then his Maryland temper
ament was apt to come out, and he
spoke with great volubility and force,
almost excitedly. He gave all his time
when he was not practicing to the
study of the law and to reading. Some
people thought he was austere, but it
was the result of bis Quaker bringing
up, which led him to waste no time on
frivolous things, familiarities or idle ac-
Iuaintances. The gentleman was born
n him. "He had a kind smile,
brow, was devoted to his
amily, and his success, after he left us,

bers, nevec returned the $4,000, tn
taking Of which was 90 unanimousl,
condemned by the people that the yer,
next Congress repealed the law by al
almost unanimous vote.
He voted for every one Of the many
jobs, land grants. subsidies to railroads
etc., that were granted since 1862.
He and Sherman and Stanley Mat
thews were the three Ohio friends o.
Mr.. Hayes who went down to Louisi
ana and managed the Returning Board
The electoral vote of that State was, il
reality, not stolen by the Returning
Board, but by Garfield and Sherman
who furnished them with the inspira-
ton, the courage and the temptation tc
commit that crime. The Returning
Board rascals were only tools in the
hands of Garfield and Sherman, who
spoke, promised and acted as the perso-
nal and immediate agents of r. B.
Hayes.
Garfield made speech of great pow.
er against the Electoral Commission
bill, upon the sole ground that it COM
petled an investigation of the Return
ing Boar,l frauds, compelled to 60 be-
hind the returns. But, the bill passed,
Garfield became a member of the Com
mission. He took his oath: "I, James
A. Garfield, do solensnly swear that 1
Witk inspdrtialty examine and consid-
er all questions subnsitted to the Com
mission Of which am a member, and
a true judgment give thereon, agreea-
bly, to the Constitution and laws, so
help me God." This oath Mr.. Garfield
also signed. Yet he voted at least a
hundred times with the other seven
Republicans against the very and the
only thing the commission was created
to do-to "examine and consider" the
questions offraud-voted that the COM
mission had to be deaf, blind and dumb,
could not 60 behind the returns and.
in fact, could examine nothing, con-
slider nothing, except to 'count in"
Hayes.
Garfield, though formerly protesting
to be revenue reformer, turned out to
be a servile tool of the Eastern protec-
tionists. This present Congress failed
to reduce some of the most unjust and
oppressive duties largely through the
efforts of Garfield, who as q member of
the Committee on Ways aud Means
protected the interests of the Eastern
Garfield's vote on the Electoral Com
counted in Hayes after his
voice and hand had managed the Re
Board steal i'm Louisiana. His
election would mean not only the COM
plete popular Endorsement of the theft
Of the Presidency, but practically the
of it in the same political
family.
Garfield is regular machine politi-
clan. He has had no other income
than that received from office. He has
made his living out of politics for twen-
ty years. He needs Office for living,
and is, according to Republican evil
lence contained in the Congressional
Record, not above temptation. Quite
10 the contrary.-IH. Louis Post-Dis-
patch.

Well, this dog was piously inclined
and he just would 60 to church every

preacher reading his sermons to his
self, and, in that way, he got to know
just where the howl come in. And he
used to help the congregation out pow

After a while certain sisters in the
objected to the dogs COM
ing to church 80 much and leading in
the howl.
They didn't like to have the cards
stocked on them that way, and they
held mass, (no, 1t was . miss meet
ing), and they asked the preacher to
give his dog some Soothing Syrup and
let him stay at home.
So instead of making q useless ex-
pense for Syrup, he read his next Sun

the other Senators and Representa-
tives-and retained every penny of the
enormous cash dividends though he
had never paid one penny for the stock

He was a member of the Boss Shep-
herd District of Columbia Ring. In
one case he could not deny having re-
ceived $1,000 for putting through as
Chairman of the Committee on Appro-
priations an enormous appropriation
for the swindling De Golyer pavement.
Compelled to admit the receipt of the
money, he tried to excuse himself by
the assertion under oath that the mon-
ey was fee received as an attorney.
This led to the proof that he never ut
tered one word or wrote enc syllable or
did a single thing in the matter except
to put through the appropriation; that
he never had q case, never received
fee, never acted as an attorney in his
ife while at Washington. Precisely as
n the case of Colfax, the attempted ex-
planation made the thing thousand
lines worse. It ad ded to the proof Of
bribery that of perjury.

How SpO0ls are Made.

Drummondville is situated on the st.
Francis river, and the Northern Divis-
ion of the Southern Railway, Canada,
passes through it. Several years ago
the prevailing wood which grew in the
vicinity was white birch, which does not,
we believe make first class tirewood, but
which appears to be best for the manu-
facture of spools. This probably was
the cause why Drummondville was Sc
lected as the place in which to locate
these factories, and the farmers in the
vicinity can always find ready market
for this kind of wood at about 81. 80 to
50 per cord. The wood, after being de-
hvered to factories, is first sawed into
pieces about four feet long and from an
inch to an inch and half square, ac-
cording to the size of the spool it is de-
sired to make. These pieces are put in
to dry-house and thoroughly dried,
from whence they are taken into the fac
tory and given to the roughers, who, in
an incredibly short space OF time, bore a
hole in the centre couple of inches
deep, turn about the same space round,
and then cut off the length required for
spool, revolving planners. in the centre
of which a revolving gimlet or bit, and
Immediately to the right a small circular
saw with gauge set to the proper size for
the spools. The roughers receive one
and half cents per gross for their work,
and experienced men can turn out from
100 to 1870 gross per day. The round
blocks pass from them to the finishers,
who place them in machines which gives
them the shape of spools, and make
them quite smooth. The spools are
thrown loosely in to large cylinder,
which revolves slowly, 80 that the spools
are polished by the constant rubbing up
Cd each other for some time. On being
taken out of the cylinder they are placed
in a hopper with an opening at the bot
tom, through which they pass down
slide for inspection. Here the Inspector
sits and watches closely to see that no
imperfect spools are allowed to pass, and
very small knot or scratch is sufficient
to condemn them. They are packed in
large boxes, made the proper size, so
that the layers of spools exactly fill the
box, and no additional packing is needed.
The packers roooiro ouc-q ualter cent per
gross for packing, and a smart boy who
is accustomed to the work can pack
about 200 gross per day. One pro-
prietor ships over 100000 spools per
month to England and another firm
ships over l 900, 900 spools to Glasgow,

4 Beautiful Phenomenon.

waters of twelve degrees north latitude,
and between the meridians of 81 degrees

Looking attentively over the ships side
at night the water was seen to contain an
enormous number of luminous particles
pressed closely together and more bril-
liant close to the side, where undisturb-
ed. Some four hundred of these COR
puscles, one or two centimetres long,
could be counted in a bucket holding
ten htres of the water. Drawn out,
these were seen to be gelatinous sub
stance, which quickly dried ana djsap-
peared, leaving dark globule one MILL
metre in length, which, in the micro
scope, presented a transparent ovold AM
malcule filled with eggs and moving Its
fins and tentacles necessarily. A drop OF
water added to the dark globule brought
back its luminosity, and when the crea-
trre was bruised in the hand it gave a
bright mark which was quickly extin-
g,tished and had no smell. The milky
water, kept till day and looked at in the
dark shows no luminosity, even though
agitated; nor does the water productivity
