Mr.. HalStead of the Cincinnati Commercial
who is a somewhat stalwart supporter of Sec
Rotary Sherman for the presidency, argues that
the true policy of the Blaine and Sherman men
is that Sherman's friends should aid Blaine with
their utmost strength to break the New York
delegation, and that Blaine's friends should
cooperate with those of Sherman In Ohio and
content themselves with the chances that Blaine
shall be the second choice of Ohio. Mr.. Hal
stead holds that though the Grant men 'crow
about their unit-rule in Pennsylvania, 1t is not
possible that the united vote OF that state shall
be thrown for Grant In other words, the
Blaine men will not vote for Grant, and that Is
all there is of It," that the New York convention
will be broken as seriously as that of PennSyl-
vania, If the Blaine and Sherman men work to-
gether as they should do; that Ohio will not
have vote for Grant, and the Illinois delega-
ton Will not be solid for him, Though Logan
and Washburne go to bed together;r that Sher-
man viii come up strong from the south;
that Blaine will be formidable on the
Pacific coast and In the northwest; and that
New England will be divided between Blaine
Sherman and Grant. This computation brings
the Sherman and Blaine forces into the conven-
ton about even; "Grant will not have on hand
as many votes as Blaine or Sherman, and the
only possibility of his nomination Is that the
Sherman men might prefer him to Blaine, and
that the Blaine men might prefer him to Sher-
man." In Mr. Halstead's opinion, There is no
occasion for such situation"
1t Is apparent that from this time forth there
Will be considerable dickering amongst the
presidential clans for the formation of alliances
offensive and defensive.

The spirit of progress and improvement has
been quietly at work down south. The Atlanta
(Ga.) Constitution, a democratic paper, says:
1.-The colored people have developed not only
most intense desire to secure an education,
but what. under all the circumstances must be
considered most remarkable aptitude and Ca
pacity for learning. This aptitude is not gov
erned by any gradations OF color, for the gen
eral experience OF those who have given the
matter any attention is that the blacklist pupils

There is some excitement in New York over a
rumor that the machine republican, have
quietly determined to ignore Ger. Grant at the
coming state convention and present Senator
Conkiing as the ce5ice OF the state for the pres
dental nomlDS.tion. Even If this rumor Is true
u would not signify an abandonment of the
thiru term plan. Mr.. Colkling has from the
nrsr declared his adherence to Gen. Grant, and
whether the state delegation be instructed for
the latter or the former would perhaps make
but little difference should the Generals name
be presented to the Chicago convention. Per-
haps the third term managers have discovered
that 1t will be easier to get an instructed dele
CATION for Conkling than for Grant. The pri-
maries at Utica, several days ago, developed an
opposition too strong to be easily overcome, and
It is but fair to suppose that many republicans
who are against Grant would support MI. Conk-
ling for the nomination.

1AO NCLllouIC ONtE Uue NEWS
from the Winter Palace In ST. Petersburg has
permitted the sending of a denial of the state
ment that the recent explosion entirely .'uu-
manned" the Car. 1t is now asserted that he
maintained the greatest GOODNESS and decision.
1t would, undoubtedly, detract somewhat from
the dignity Of royalty to represent 1t as SILVER
Ing with alarm like an ordinary mortal, but
most people would probably be disposed to
grant the Car some relaxation of this sort
without regarding him with CONTEMPT
Ii there is any man who has cause to be alarm
ed 1t Is the ruler Of Russia No matter how
close he may shut himself up, nor how cautious
ne may be, he is not able it appears, to get be-
yond the reach OF those who are seeking his
LIE. In spite OF the Geographic assurances
that he was perfectly cool after the recent ex
plos1on took place, his exclamation proves the
contrary. Summon the guards Close all
the exist" he shouted, and though the
order was, no doubt, obeyed, the event
that had that moment occurred proved that the
guards are not able to protect his majesty
royalty and power are purchased at dear
price when they are accompanied by the con-
stant dread that Is ever present with this ruler
he Is denied the common privileges of mankind
and breads poison in every dish he eats.
The sincerity of Senators Cameron and Conk.
ling in their support of Gen. Grant for the presi-
Dental nomination having been questioned,
somebody, perhaps interested in the third-term
movement, has made public a couple of tele-
grams that passed between those Senators i'm
mediately after the Pennsylvania convention
Senator Cameron telegraphed that the delega-
ton had been instructed for Grant, and Senator
Conkling replied that 50 Pennsylvania had rem
dered another great service to the country" and
that he "rejoiced at her action" When the
fact is taken into consideration that these were
private kilograms, not intended for the public
eye it does look as If the two senators were in

The Dance.

Concerning the popular new dance ut
Atlantic City, u correspondent writes:
It is not n waltz, nor q galloh nor n
polka, 1t is the Racket" From the
slow, slipping glide waltz OF n few years
back, when 1t was fragrant 70 lift your
feet from the floor, we have gone by
stages 10 the Boston, the old polka, the
slide, the hecl-and-toe polka, until this
last stage has been reached, when the
thing Is not TO keep the feet on the
door. The Racket sends Its votaries
wildly pitching to right and left mp and
down with kicks and leaps that ap-
proach the can-can, and 1t Is rs well
suited TO polite society rs n Sioux war
dance, or the Carmagnole ofthe French
revolution. The Racket can be danced
10 any thing that is loud and In fast
time, whether waltz, polka or gallon;
best with the latter.
Technically II consists OF three slid
ing steps TO the right, n slide to the
left, TO the right, TO the left, to the
right, then three TO the left. and con-
time. The body Is swayed more than
In skating. and the vigor and energy
with which 1t Is always danced renders
1t as violent an exercise rs jumping a
rope, and not quite rs graceful. Some
times the partners are not held rs in
other round dances. They simply take
hold Of hands and racket around In that
way, reproducing the scenes in the surf
of mornings. Hair-dressing needs to
be firmly done. and dresses TO be Of
stout material and strong sewing to
stand II. In this day Of short dresses
and full gauged skirts, the racket makes
n line display Of dainty slippers and
silken hose. Philadelphia claims TO have
invented the dance. such as It is. and
the sons and daughters OF the best fami-
lies kick around on social occasions In n
way that Lotta and Alice Oates were
supposed TO have the monopoly Of.
