A Baptist Young Lady on Dancing.

The Baptist Young Lady" who wrote to
The Sun on Thursday disagrees with the
Baptist minister who in conference on Mon
day hcsitated to condemn dancing, because
by so doing he would drive away from his
church the young mon and women who have
a partlality for that popular amusement
She instanced the case of Baptist church
in Brooklyn whose pastor smiled on what
sho calls worldly pleasures, and the result
was that the young converts speedily drlfted
away from the society OF the spiritual
household. Though the church encouraged
them in dancing, and one OF the deacons
even sought to make religious instruction
more palatablc TO them by giving monthly
dancing parties for their qualification, more
than two-thirds OF these frolicsome con-
verts are now missing, and she cannot find
out that thoy have connected themselves
with any other church.
Therefore this Baptist young lady, find
ing tho proof Of the pudding in the eating,
has no doubt that dancing as a spiritual
and religious exercise is not profitable, and
she is overcome with sadness at the thought
that any Baptist ministAr should coun-

1t Is announced from Washington that
Mr. ROSCOE CoNKLINd does not, by any
means, consider himself Internationally
out OF the race for President. He Is out
only in the event OF Gen. GRANTS receiving
the nomination, and not otherwise He Is
for GRANT first last, and all tho time, IL
GRANT can get votes enough to nominate
him. But II not, then he is for CoNKLINd
hrst, last. and all the time.
GRANT was for CoNKLINa when HAYES
was nominated; and Mr.. CoNKLING, natu-
rally enough, expects that GRANT. IL he
cannot be nominated himself, will retain tho
same preference for him which he mani
tested four years ago. Indeed, Mr.. CoNK-
LING undoubtedly expects even more from
GRANT and GRANTS friends; for, II GRANT
cannot carry the Convention, 1t would seem
only fair that all his strength should be
turned over to tho distinguished Senator
from New York, who has led of in GRANTS
support.
And in truth Mr.. CoNKLINa has done much
for Gen. GRANT. He has not only refused,
Mt the outset, to be candidate himself, but,
by espousng the doctrine OF third term,
he has greatly lessened the estimation in
which he was formerly held by those Re-
puDllCauS WHO are III ldNOT OF auHeTlnk 10
the practice which has prevailed heretofore
Of limiting the Presidency to two terms.
He has exposed himself to the suspicion OF
favoring an ultimate change Of our entire
system of government.
1t may be that Mr.. CoNKLING has never for
moment believed that there was any pos
sibility of GRANT being nominated for a
third term. Under the guise and deception OF
supporting GRANT he may have been for
himself and for himself only all the while.
We doubt whether any man who has once
turned his eyes upon the White House ever
was known to turn them away. Chief JUS
tce CHASE, after his health was irretriev-
Rbly gone, still sighed for term in the Ex-
ecutivc Mansion. There is reason to sup
pose that the same influence which acted as
Rpoweriul stimulant to Judge CHAsE's natu-
raj and intense ambition. is not unfclt by
Mr.. Combines more sensitive and sus-
septible temperament.

NJ. DE JoUyENCEL, French savant, has
been casting about to find the reason why. as
he says. people Of the Latin races turn to the
right hand in passing. and those OF the Teu-
tonic races. including the English and the
Scandinavians. turn to the left. The explana-
ton he gives s. that. as the Romans had a su-
persttion that omens manifesting themselves
on the right-hand side were lucky. and those
on the left-hand side unlucky. the races de-
scended from the Romans have an instructive
preference for going to the right hand. The

bly, concluded that what was feared by the
Romans must be good for them, and 30 tho pro-

fact that. although the Anglo-Saxon race pre-
dominates in this country. we naturally turn to

This. however. was changed because the instinct

Grant and Stephens.

The suggestion that If GRANT Is nomi-
mated for President, ALEXANDER III. STE
PHENs of Georgia should be nominated on the
same ticket with him for Vice-Presdent,
strikes us as highly appropriate. STEPHENS
proved his long professed devotion to tho
Union by accepting tho Vice-Presidency Of
the Confedoracy
GRANT proves his devotion to our free in
stitutions by trying TO get the country to
ignore that sacred tradition-that custom
never departed from-which limits the
Presidency to two terms
GRANT and STEPHENS may very appro-
priatcly run on the same ticket.

chiefly due to the engagement Of new band

great a reputation as a composer OF polkas as
did Strauss In the composition Of waltzes. He

Z An exchange states that the seed
of broom corn, which has hitherto
been considered useless except for
planting, and an inferior article of
food for cattle, has been discovered
to be valuable as breadstufr. 1t
was first used as a substitute for
wheat in 1870 and 1871, but, like
many other good things, was lost
sight of, and it's manufacture was
never carried to success, and never
became even particularly known I'M
til about three years ago, The yield
OF flour is about one half in place of
two-thirds from wheat. The bran is
also as valuable as wheat bran as a
food for animals. The -four cannot
be told from wheat -four, and the
bread, cake, ETC., is delicate, inviting
and delicious, and easily digested.
The yield of broom-corn seed is also
enormous, a single spear often pro
ducing pint Of seed, and the yield
has reached five hundred bushels to
the acre, while it is safe to estimate
the average at one hundred bushels.

In cases of extraordinary sore

two or three nights in succession, Jun
less it is very serious case, when
the pack should be kept during the
day. If taken off in the morning.
wash the throat in very cold water
and rub dry with, coarse towel and
with the hand. This will prevent
taking more cold. The more fric-
ton used the better. Let it be a

to affect the deep-seated tissues.
Sore throat may be prevented by
these means from becoming chronic.
