Mr.. C. p. JOHNSON The Morning
Ne,os of to-day takes delight in refer
ring to what they term the apparent un-
concern of the Democratic party in re-
gard to the nominations which were
taking place at Cincinnati. 1t seems to
worry them very much because the
Democratic party don't howl and shout
and kick up big time generally as the
Republicans did at Chicago and various
cities of the Union. But if the Morning
Neaos will only wait and have little
patience they will find that the Demo
cracy are not as near asleep as they seem
to be in their narrow range of vision,
but will give the Republican party all
the work they want to tend to during the
coming compaign, and eventually land
their candidates at the White House.
or course all Delaware Democrats
would like to have seen their honored
citizen and Senator, Thomas Francis
Bayard, nominated, but l speak for all
when say the party not only in Della
ware but all over the country could not
have been better satisfied than they are
with their present candidates, and pre-
dict unbounded success for them, for with
such names as Hancock and English at
our mast-heads there is no such thing
as fail. A DEMOCRAT.

How Ladies Dress in Persia.

She wore bright red skirt, richly en-
broidered with gold lace: it was very full
and short, barely reaching 10 her knees a
loose Jacket of blue velvet, also much
trimmed-this time with silver lace; the
sleeves were made of cashmere shawls, but
toned by about twenty small buttons. She
wore several necklaces, most of them very
massive, studded with fine turquoises- On
her head she wore white shawl, with a
band Of jewels round her forehead, and at
one side large pearl star. She had on
both arms at least dozen bracelets-some
handsome ones, some only bands of colored
glass. Her feet were covered with coarse
white socks; her shoes were green leather with
scarle; heels. Some of the ladies wore
bright red trousers, reaching to the ankle;
but this was quite the exception. They
wear a long veil, reaching from head to
foot, generally made of some small print or
muslin. ought to mention that every
lady wore small leather case around her
neck, containing some earth from Mecca
and verses from the Koran. The faces of my
hostess and friends were much decorated,
the eyebrows broadened and carried quite
across the nose. Some had small designs
taitooed on the checks. The hair is very
long and THICK, generally dyed red; it Is
worn plated IN many thin tails, twisted
with gold thread. The hands are well
shaped, but nails and palms are stained q
dark red.

Some Inhabitants OF A AIrica.

Bows and girls who visited menageries
have probably seen an animal shaped some
thing like horse, but beautifully adorned
with black and tawny stripes, standing
silent and sulky in its cage. This is the
zebra, the wild horse of the great plains of
Southern Africa There it lives IN great
herds and browses on the thin grass and
low shrubs of the wilderness 1t enjoys
tie widest liberty, and gallops and gam
bols merriy with its companions through
regions where the foot of man rarely pene-
trates. 1t is not strange that when cap
tured it refuses to be tanned, and retains
its wild nature to the end. There are,
however, exceptions TO this rule. Tnere
are at present, pair OF zebras in the
Garden Of Plants, at Paris, which, By the
constant care and kindness of their young
keeper, have gradually come To show II
great affection for him, and will even
allow him to harness them TO little car
rage and drive them about the streets OF
Pans. The zebra's chief weapons of de-
fence are its lively little heels, which 1t
uses vigorously when attacked. 1t is a
very wild and cunning beast, and as it's
sharp ears detect the slightest rustling
among the bushes, it is very difficult to ap-
proach. The hyenas leave the zebra in
peace, and even lions and leopards rarely
engaged IN battle with it. They are quite
content to pounce upon the sickly mem
bers of the herd which have Jagged behind
their companions, and are alone ami de-
fenceless. for if any enemy attacks herd,
the sagacious animals at once form circle,
their heads facing the centre, and begin
such lively battery with their heels that
the attacking party is glad to save himself
by flight. The name of the zebra is thick,
but very short, and forms an upright fringe
from its forehead down the back of its
neck to its body. Its skin is striped from
the tip of its nose to the end OF its tail, and
down Its legs to the hoof. The natives
hunt it vigorously, as they prze
its beautiful skin for personal
adorument, and its meat is tavorite
food. They kill it with spears, or by pit
falls, in which the poor creatures get en-
tangled and are easily despatched.
Large numbers Of the Zebrss are shot by

Advice About Funerals.

In tine preparations and arrangements
for the bnrial, says DIR. White of Cincin-
natl, let as little time and money as posi-
bic be expended for showy surroundings.
The less of these things the better. Have
only enough show for proper respect, for
public decorum and social respect. We
are getting to mingle prosperity and ad-
versity together and are getting unable 10
distinguish the moral difference. We are
now hardly able to distinguish between a
funeral and wedding. At funerals the
tendency is toward extravaganza and pride,
and, IN consequence, toward vice and the
meanest folly. Funerals are degrading in
to the most selfish, expensive, meaningless
services As the vulgar expression is,
they are simply ceremonies to give the
dead ''good send-oE" The coffin is COW
cred with tInsel and finery totally out OF
place, considering the surroundings of the
deceased when alive. A man will spend
$50 for carriage hire at the funeral OF his
wife, when he never spent a dollar for rid
ing her when alive. At a great sacrifice
husband will buy a profusion of costly
flowers for the decoration of his wife's cof-
tin and grave, when he never bought pot
plant for the Frightening of her chamber
during years of sickness and suffering. If
possible. the funeral should be on a day
other than the Sabbath. so as not to inter
fere with the pastors regular duties at
stated service. A vigorous protest against
the too frequent and very often disgusting
habit of public leave-taking of the body
was made. The preacher held that the
leave-taking of our beloved dead should
always be In private and not before a
crowd Of idle. curious and nnsympathizing
spectators. The practice of kissing the
dead Just before the coffin-lid was screwed
down. was neither decorous nor proper,
particularly in the presence of strangers.
Sometimes there was more kissing after
death than before. The glass cover should
not be removed for the qualification of
anybody. Nay, more; the reverend ger
tleman suggested that the face of the de-
ceased should never be exposed to stran-
gers. All the funeral ceremonies should
be simple, but strikingly symbolical. a
simple piece of Grape on the door, or worn
on the arm of the person was sufficient
TO denote the death of member in the
family.

The Grain Crops of the World.

The annual volume on the crops of the
various corn-growing countries Of The
world has just been issued by Mons. Bruy
Estienne, of Marseilles, and the reports it
contains occupy several hundred large
quarto pages. A map showing in various
colors the state of the wheat crop in the
different departments of France, is also
given OF the whole cereal crops of France,
the reports are good. The wheat crop is
in five departments very good, in seven
teen departments good, IN twenty-six de-
partments fairly good (dsse= bo'anc), in
sixteen depa, tments medium, and in six
departments only bad. Oats are very good
in twentv-eight departments, good in forty
departments, medium in six departments,
bad in two departments and very bad in
one department The maize crop, grown
chiefly in the southern departments, is fair
lv good. In three departments it is very
good, in nineteen good, in five fairly good,
in five medium, and in one only bad. Rye
Is reported as very good in eleven depart
ments, good in ffty-three departments,
fairly good in six departments, and medi-
um in three departments. Barley is the
best crop of the year in France. In TWEEN
ty-slX departments it is very good, in forty
good, in five fairly good, and in three me-
dium. In no department is either the rye
or barley crop declared to be bad. So far
as other countries are concerned, with the
exception only of Russia, the reports are
generally favorable. In upper Italy, the
crops are reported as yielding so per cent.
above the average. Rumelea and Upper
and Lower Bavaria stand next on the list,
with q produce of % per cent. above the
average, and these are followed by PodOlia
and Swabia, with an average production
of 90 per cent. In tine south of Italy and
Bavaria and in Wurtemburg the estimates
are of crops 10 per cent. over an average !;
while in Bessarabia they are 10 per cent.
over. The crops of the year are per cent.
over an average in Hungary, Poland, Bel
gium, and the United States Of America
Average crops, without either surplus or
deficit, have been grown in Prussia, the
Palatinate, Baden, Switzerland, Denmark,
Sweden, Norway, Central Italy, Holland,
the north of Russia, Serbia, and Egypt
Deficiencies OF 10 per cent. are reported in
Great Britain, Ireland and Saxony. In
Courland the deficiency is put down at 20
per cent. under average. In Central Rus
sia the crops are so bad that the deficit is
estimated at 40 per cent. below the aver
age. The commercial summary which ac-
companies the report shows that Europe
will largely depend for much of her bread
s:uffs from America, and that there is ev-
cry prospect Of fairly good and remunera-
tive prices being obtained for cereals this

Attempts on Queen victoria-s Life.

In 1910, on the tenth of June, a half
witted lad named Oxford fired twice at
the queen as she was driving with Prince
Albert in Hyde park The boy was tned
at the Old Bailey, and was detained for
some time az a lunatic- In 1S45 John
Francis fred at her majesty, and some five
weeks afterward a man named Bean pre-
scnted pistol ut her. Ten years later, in
1852, fellow named Pate, formerly lieu
tenant IN the hussars, lay in wait for the
queen as she was driving out of the resi-
dence of the Duke of Cambridge, and aimed
q violent blow al her with his walking stick,
crushing her bonnet over her forehead. He
was transported. In February, 1872, oc-
CURED the fifth attempt to frighten her. A
lad named Conner, a silly shop-bOy whose
head had been turned with reading senss-
tiolal romances, drew pistol on her ma
jesty as she was about TO alisht from her
carriage at Buckingham palace. He was
sentenced to a years hard labor and good
fogging.

dancing down the street, and waltzed right
up 10 the big one and fetched him one in

tail fellow ba anced to corners, and tripped
the little fellow across the car track. He
jumped up and poked around until he sec
an opening and went in.
''For two minutes it was all hands
around, till the little fellow got hip lock
and flung the big one. Then he got up,
and schottlshed after the little one, and
got in on his ear. The little fellow forward
tweed and liftedhim under the chin. Then
they had grand chain Tor wind, and ladies
in the centre, which fetched 'em both
down. Then the quadrille was lively, you
bet, The big one reeled of, and caromed
on his eye, and then it was gents the same
for about three minutes.
sYou'd think they were walking for a
cake. The little man varsouvienned about
like hot wire, but the big one stood on
the forward and back till he got show,
and it was seat your pardners for the little
man. Oh, you can bet she was redowa
