A writer in the Boston Advertiser-Henry B. Blackwell-sees way out of many of the unusual difficulties which will beset the Chica- go convention. He would have the two-thirds rule adopted. He says: eff, by common con sent, the supporters of dlI the candidates will agree in advance that 10 man shall be nomi- mated until he has received 504 affirmative votes-the value of the nomination will be en- hanced hundredfold. No matter who the nominee may be, the fact that he has been deliberately chosen by two-thirds of all the delegates will secure the cheerful acquiescence of the one-third. The magnanimity of the majority, in thus postponing the accomplish ment of it's wishes till the requisite concur renee is secured will be gratefully appreciated by the minority. No bolt of dangerous di- mansions could be organized against so weighty dscision.'' There is much to be said in favor of the two-thirds rule, and it would perhaps be especially satisfactory in it's work ings if applied at the coming convention. But 1t is not probable that any change will be made, and even Mir. Blackwell may be as well satisfied with the result of the ballotipg as he would be if it were reached under the two-
 
 by majority of only six.
 A meeting of influential citizens was held at the residence of Rev. Dr. Cuylsr, in Brook lyn, the other evening, to listen to an address by Dr. Agnew, of New York, who advocated the use of ''the Temperance Lesson Book in the schools. This book is by the eminent Dr. Richardson, of England, and was pre- pared for committee of the National Fem psrancs League of England, to be used in schools in connection with the great movement for popular education in Great Britain. It treats in purely scientific, and, at the same time simple manner of the chemistry of alcohol and it's physiological action on the human body. | It consists of ffty-two brief lessons, with | questions and answers. Several gentlemen 1 followed Dr. Agnew, all of them com mending his suggestions. Among these was MT. Beecher, who said that a chapter should l be devoted to the discussion of the reason why alcohol acted so differently on different persons-on different temperaments, Why some persons used alcohol ten, twenty or fifty years, while others could not touch it. He also alluded to the doctrine that while 1 alcohol was not food, it had a conservative | effect when used in small quantities, and | thought that for the benefit of the young that doctrine also needed intelligent treat | ment MT. Beecher held that in these and | other respects all cobwebs of uncertainty | should be swept aside, so that the public ard | the young, might be placed on their ouord

form was made of the tables, and on this

 village, however little, has it's band The
 benches were placed around the room for the
 ladies' and the door and walls were hung
 with branches. When we went into the ball. room we found it filled with young girls and
 men dressed in their picturesque Sunday clothes. The girls wore @ red handkerchief
 tied in their hair, and married women a white one. They were dark and swarthy looking,
 but generally handsome. It was some time
 before the little band could bs brought into tune, but at last the s'Salterello' was stuck up. For long time, however, the centre of the room remained empty, for no one seemed inclined to begin. At last 8 young fellow near the door and young girl at the oppo- site corner of the room looked at each other. With motion of his head and glance from his expressive eyes, he asked, Twill you ?" She nodded, and then with one accord they both jumped out of their shoes and sprang into the center of the room. Then they began the danoe which consists of not only motion of the feet, but also se- ries of gestures, quite little poem-and they are well done when as often, there is & little courting going on. At first, the dancers hold their hands on their hips and cross and turn round and face each other for some time, but always in step. The man endeavors to kiss the girl, but she eludes him by dancing in 8 different direction, or passing under his lifted arms. There is no rule for this pantomine and each dancer does as he likes. At last, when both dancers are tired, they take hold Of hands, and the man falls on one knee, whilst the girl dances round him once or twice and then runs back to her corner.

The Same Old Story.


 An Oxford undergraduate was showing a si@er over his rooms in the college, when some one knocked at the door. Supposing that it was some of his friends and not wish ing to be chafed, he hid her behind the cur tains, and admitted an elderly gentleman, who apologized profussly for his intrusion, and excused himself by saying that it was many years since he had been at Oxford, and he could not leave without paying visit to his dear old college and the room he had oceu- pied as student.
 ''Ah," cried the old gentleman, looking around, 'the same old sofa! yes, and the same old carpet, everything the same"
 Then, walking into the bedroom, he re- marked: "Yes, and the same old bed and the same washstand. Yes, everything the same.
 Presently he stepped toward the curtains, and remarked: 'tAh, and the same old cur tains :" Looking around he beheId the young lady; and turning around he said; "Ah you young dog! and the same old game"
 But, hastily replied the underuraduate, 'tthat young lady is my sister" To which the reply came, ''Yes, and the same old story,

The New London Telegram strongly rec ommends those members of the Connecticut delegation to Chicago who do not think it ex. pedient to nominate either General Grant or Mir. Blaine to vote fer Sherman. It is true, as the Telegram says, that under the circum- stances Connections is in position to have no little weight in determining the result, but as the delegation will probably not vote as unit for anybody at the outset her position may not count for much.
 The North Presbyterian church at Wash ington wants its pastor, Rev. E. B. Ramsden, to resign, because he has recently married . Catholic woman. Mir. Ramsdsl does not propose to resign, claiming that he has the right to select his own wife, and majority of his people sustain him in his position. Those, however, who desire his resignation, propose to take the matter before the pres bytery. The presbytery ought to let minis ters alone who do nothing worse than that.
