II. Watterson. editor OF the Courier Journal.

weeks ago In spirit of confidence that, it
seems,Wa entirely unwarranted, he announced
IN douole-leaded editorial that he intended to
teQolre the Kentucky democratic convention to
instruct Tor Tnden, and, In the same article, he
invited ant[Tilden democrats to "waltZ up to
tne music" Several days ago Mr.. Watterson
announced In his paper, but not In so conspicu-
Gus manner, that he would mot ask the Lex
1Dgton convention to instruct Mr.. Watterson

A New Boom.

The delegation from New jersey to the Ma
tional Democratic convention Is, though unin-
structed favorable to the nomination of Sen
ator Randolph for President, and Ii will present
his name as candidate. There is more in this
action OF the New jersey democracy than a
mere compliment to a favorite son OF the state
THE STAR several months ago stated, upon
trustworthy democratic authority, that pow
erful element OF the party was quietly az work
to make Senator Randolph its presidential
nominee This influence has evident
ly worked industriously and effectively.
Mr.. Randolph could not enter the field without
the support OF his own state, and in secur-
Ing that he was met by antagoniSimS
within the state as well as outside OF IL. The
friends OF ex- Governor Parker considered him
entitled 20 the delegation, and they struggled
to give 1t to him, but Randolph beat them
The plan OF RandOlph'5 friends is to endeavor
to make hin a compromise candidate, accept
able TO the friends OF all the other aspirants
Therefore, they are not now antagonizing Tilden
but one very prominent democrat said yester-
day: I'll by the meeting OF the Cincinnati con-
venttOn Tilden cannot see that he is unavail-
able and unacceptable, then we intend to beat
him with Randolph. The anti-Tilden delegates
Will unite upon Randolph" This, no doubt,
affords pretty fair insight into the program.
Ii Is claimed in favor OF Mr.. Randolph that he Is
sound on the money question, and therefore
acceptable to the east; that he was an ardent
supporter OF the Union during the war, and
therefore cannot be aSSailed with ''bloody-
shirt thunder; that he has been, ever since
the war, q firm friend OF the south, and there
fore can carry every one OF those states; and,
furthermore, that he can unite the two fac
lions OF the party In New York and carry that
state.

The admission by Ex-Governor Seymour that
ccould not, as the presidential candidate OF the
deGocratic party, carry the state OF New York,
must make the outlook rather gloomy for other
stsp.rants for that place on the democratic
Eczet. IL Is virtual surrender OF thirty-fve
electoral votes without struggle. One OF the
'haih reasons for the nomination OF Mr.. Sey-
Loar was the Claimed certainty that he could
curry the Empire state, while the result there
might be doubtful with another leader. MIR.
Seynours views are therefore equivalent to a
No &c TO his party that there Is no use trylny.

In contest for nominations for county off,
GERS In Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, Satur-
day, the issue between Grant and Blaine men
1or President was made distinct by putting the
Two men at the head Of opposing tickets. To
the surprise OF everybody outside the county
Grant got decided majority over his competi-
tor. This has been considered one OF the
strongest Blaine counties in the state, and the
Grant victory was no doubt brought about, by
the now more than probable nomination OF the
ex-President at Chicago. The result in Lam
caster Is also an evidence that the opposition to
Grant in the republican party VIII pretty gen.
orally cease with his nomination.

A MAN CLOTHED IN MONEY.

The Paris Echo du N0rd relates that a
man was arrested recently at Haliuin Oh
charge of bigamy, and that his appearance
was one of extreme destirution. Something
there was, however, in his manner which
attracted the notice of the policemen
charged with his wardship, and induced
them, contrary to what seems to be their
usual custom, to search the supposed beg
gar. On stripping him Of his outer cover
ines Of rags, the man was found to be liter
ally clothed in money, his apparel being
loaded III all directions with coins, mostly
pieces of 20 francs. They had been sewn
up in rags at time dating back in several
Cases many years, and were by long disuse
covered by sort Of mould which made
Them at first appear TO be copper coins.
The possessor of this walking treasury was
ffty-fye years of age, aud described himself
Us farm laborer, with this qualification,
that when he could not get farm work to do
he occasionally indulged in begging. He
justified this latter occupation upon
principles of economy" being desirious,
as he said, not to waste his gold pieces by
changing them for silver. As for his omis-
sion to provide him with purse, that was
accounted for similar way. He did not
see the necessity for squandering money

BRUTAL HAZING.

At one Of the colleges in New York State,
says the Pittsburg Telegraph few years
ago, Freshman was rendered insensible,
and his health seriously injured, by the ef-.
forts of several upper classnen 10 "smoke
him out" phrase well understood by col
lege men. The Freshman had a strong
stomach, and for long time the tobacco
smoke had no effect upon him. Finally, the
upper classmen bound him in q chair, with
his body so bent over that his face was
nearly between his knees. A large spittoon
was placed between his feet and into this
was put quantity of rank tobacco, some
wooden rags (torn from the Freshman's un-
dershirt) and little oil This compound
was lighted, and then the victim was envel-
oped in blanket reaching to the floor.
Long glass tubes from the college laboratory
were pushed under the blanket into the spit
toon, and blowing through these caused
thick column Of black and vile smoke 10 as
cend directly in his face. To the surprise
of his tormentors, even this device failed to
effect its object, and when the blanket was
finally removed the Freshman was found in
sensible. Alarm took the place Of "inno-
cent pleasure" in the minds of the upper
classmen, and they worked as hard to restore
their victim to consciousness as they had
before to make him insensible. 1t was
long time before the Freshman recovered,
and he felt the effects of his brutal treat
ment for months.

Death from, a Lucirer Match.

The Medical Tines Gnd Gd.etle men,
tions the case OF young man who,
while travelling from Paris to Lyons. lit
a match by scratching 1t with his
thumb nail, and piece Of the ineandes.
cent phosphorus penetrated under the
nail and made slight burn, to which
he paid no attention. But after an hour
the pain became intense, the thumb
swclled, then the hand, and next the
orearm. he was obliged TO alight at a
station on the journey 'und send for
medical man. who declared that imme
diate amputation Of the arm was neces-
sary. The patient insisted in postpon-
ing the operation for few hours, until
the arrival of his father, for whom he
had telegraphed. Before the latter,
however, could reach his son, it was too
late; the poisonous matter had gained
