TEMPERANCE IN PRIMARIES.

1t becomes temperance workers, and
such should all temperance people be, to
watch closely the management OF certain
would-be leaders in conventions. The
time has come when caucuses cannot ig-
more the temperance element, and yet we
must look out for the sly movements Of
theipolititioD, and guard again their we'll
planned lodges to control conventions.
Not long since we witnessed the maneu-
vers Of certain delegates in convention
who had been elected at the primary, and
Instructed to nominate temperance men,
and empowered to appoint another set Of
delegates to represent them in a still high
er conN ention. It was plain, lat least to
us) that two delegates by adroit manage
l1ent, made up the cast Of the future dele
CATION, who were entrusted to nominate to
the more important offices, to represent
the people in the law making department.
One Of these had bank at his back, and
the other the preStage Ct a city official.
While the former seemed to have charge of
the manner of appointing the delegates,
the latter was busy passing from one coun-
ty delegation to another. in order to ascer-
tam who was in favor Of license and op-
posed to prohibition, and thus putting
himself in possession OF the necessary in
formation to arrange the coming delega-
tions. The former OF these delegates was
careful to see that the latter was put on
the nominating committee that should Sc
lect the future delegate convention.
The committee retired, and in few
moments returned with one sided nomI-
nation, now completely out of the reach Of
the convention, and in opposition to the
primary election, at least to a majority Of
those present and voting. This very ae-
ton endangers the success of the party
represented, and may so divide the votes
at the coming election as to defeat the
nominees.
How much better would it be to act fair
ly and openly, in these conventions, Such
men often overreaoh themselves, and de-
feat the very object in view, and cause
their own defeat by forcing temperance
workers to divide their vote and leave a
place for a third party to come into pos
session of the offices and to the control OF
power. Let temperance workers be wide
awake and keep on the alert for the good
OF their cause. There will be grand vic
tory in the end The cause OF right must
finally prevail.

With so simple an article as a red cab
bage very old but pretty little chemical
experiment may be made by the young
people, with the result of amusing and as
tonishing those around them, The effects
may be strikingly shown in this manner
Cut three leaves Of the cabbage into small
pieces, and placing them in a basin, pour
q pint OF boiling water over them, letting
them stand an hour, then pour of the liq-
uid into a decanter 1t win be OF fine
blue color. Then take four wine glasses;
into one put six drops of strong vinegar;
into another, six drops Of solution Of soda
into third, the same quantity Of a strong
solution OF alum; and let the fourth glass
remain empty. Fill up the glasses from
the decanter, and the liquid poured into
the glass containing the acid will quickly
change to a beautiful red; that poured
with the soda will be a fine green; and
that poured into the empty glass will re-
main unchanged.

Dear 7eisgraph;-Thinking you might
be interested In a little item from this
point, ] send you the following, which you
can allow place in your excellent columns
OF 10 your capacious waste basket, as you
shall Judge most appropriate. This town,
as you know, Is situated a. the junction Of
the Q. & P. X. X. with the p. p. W. &C.
r. R., about sixty miles from Cleveland.
Its population Is nearly six thousand. II
Is chiefly q railroad town, though there are
several manufacturing establishments, ast
A steam hammer tactoy-makihg little
hammers, Weighing from three 10 SIX tons
each. There are also several iron found
dries; a spike factory, potteries, a bone
mill, &c. There was at one time large
rolling mill, but you know these are mi
gratory birds, hence, when the panic
struck this town, like others Of is species,
this one few Of to Pittsburgh. There
are eight churches in this place. Of which
the NJ. Il. and the Presbyterian are the
principal. The ". r. chuich Is on Main
street, near the busihess center Of the
town, and is a large and substantial brick
structure. It has q membership Of about
four hundred and fifty. A Sabbath school
Of over four hundred. The church was
largely repaired and enlarged just at the
time when the panic came on, leaving the
people with a heavy church debt, with
which they have struggled ever since.
One year ago they owed about FIVE thou
sand dollars, but under the direction Of
their excellent pastOr--Rev. S. S. Binkley
formerly Of Kingsyille-they succeeded in
paying of one half Of that sum, and on
Sabbath the 18th inst, they paid, or rather
subscribed the balance-thus providing
for the entire debt during the balance Of
this conference year.
This, Mr. Editor, is my church, and
though myself and wife never forget any
Of our cold friends" whether Of Ashtabu-
la or elsewhere, still, we are pleasantly
domiciled among this people, aud are
learning TO feel at home among them and
10 prize them highly fof their works sake.
Yours truly, l.. W. DAY.

It is stated that prominent citizen of
Galveston, was brought nome very late in
a comatose condition. His terrified wife,
thinking it was apoplexy, sent for the fam
lily physician. The doctor examined the
patient carefully and then directed that
the clergyman be sent for. In few min
utes the spiritual adviser was bending
over the couch of the dying man. Finally
the clergyman said: "Why, he is drunk
that's what's the matter. Why am l sent
for here at 10 O'Clock aJ nightY
"QO you suppose replied the doctor,
"that | am going to be the only fool on
Galveston islandY
That's the story they tell.

DIR. Henry c. Chapman, of Philadelphia,
has recently given the result of dissections,
concluding that there is no more anatomic-
al relationship between man and the gor-
lila than there is between man and the
chimpanzee and the orang-outang. In
some respects both the gorilla and man
agree with the chimpanzee and orang, and
in others differ. He thinks it premature
to offer any detailed genealogical tree of
the primates; but is inclined to believe
that ''the ancestral form of man was IN
termediate in character, as compared with
the living anthropoids or lower monkeys" "

Thousands of dollars have been sunk
within the last few years in in-shore plant
ing OF oysters off Milford, the bivalves in
nearly every instance being destroyed by
the washing Of mud and sand upon the
beds in heavy storms. One man perse-
vered through successive failures and
finally tried deep water planting. This
has proved so great a success that he has
already made up for the greater part Of
shallow water. The success Of the deep
water planting has been so fully demon
strated that it is thought the whole terito-
ny along the Sound will in time be taken
up for planting to the State line, seven
miles off shore. Bridgeport Farmer
