A snREwp journalist and friend of Senator
Blaine said last night that he confidently
expected the Senator's nomination at Gin
cnnati. He believes Grant cannot possibly
get majority, and that all efforts TO COM
bine his votes on any other candidate than
Blaine will fail, because so many of them
personally prefer the Plumed Knight.

THE Grant men are still casting about for
a second choice. Window, who was thought
well of few weeks ago. does not seem to fill
the bill, and it is probable that if the third
termers are beaten they will try to throw
their strength to Edmunds.

EVERY sincere patriot will feel regret at
the resignation of Senator Gordon. His
public career has been in every respect so
satisfactory that he can ill be spared from
the Senate. No Southern statesman has ex-
Northern opinion. No Senator during his
term of service in that body has been oftener
right and more rarely wrong on public
questions

Mn Nopruotr, in yesterday's New York

Mr.. NoRnnoft, in Yesterdays New York

matter how regular II might lie. The proposed Joint
rule adopts the course often urged hy the late Senn
tor Morton, aud lets the vote lie counted where there
IS but set Of papers, unless bon houses concur
In rejecting II. The succeeding regulation Is also
fair. Where two sets of ELECTORAL votes come from a
state. that Is ut least rtmd tncie evidence of some
serious irfegulaiity IN the local state government In
which case 1t Is proper that the two houses shall

A Wonderful Man.

There are some men who never lose
hope and courage, no matter what hap
pens. About twelve years ago gentle
man in London, who was suffering from
ophthalmia, became blind, and in order
to regain his sight he spent large sums
OF money without producing the desired
effect. AS in consequence he became
seriously embarrassed, and had 10
friends to assist him, he sought en-
p1oyment, and was eventually engaged
as collector for a large establishment.
1t is stated that he finds his way about
London unattended, travels by means
OF omnibuses and underground trains,
and goes about his business in such
manner that casual observer would not
detect bis infirmity, especially as he
wears colored glasses to hide his eyes,
which are rather unpleasant to look
upon. The strange part Of the affair is
that every day he has to learn the names
and addresses Of the people he calls
upon, as well as the amounts he has to
receive, for which he gives receipts.
And his employers are well satisfied
with the manner in which the work is
done. Surely, after that, none need
feel discouraged under the ills OF life.

English Wheat Market.

The Mark Lane cypress says: Three

Of bright sunshine, however, has made this
work rather slow in all the later districts,
complaints continue of mildew in wheat.
Some early dressings are not very satisfac-
tory. Aquantity OF new English wheat has
already been marketed in London and the
country, aud samples show much better qual-
ity than last seasons. Prices ranged from a.
shillings to As shillngs for white, 4s to Is shi.
lings for req. The demand for foreign,
although slightly improved by lighter ship
ments cabled from America. has been mostly
inactive and Mondays decline has not been
covered. It would be unwise to predict
that prices have reached the lowest point as
the period is approaching when imports are
heaviest, but the tendency at the close of the
week was to arrest the downward movement.

tive. Maize was occasionally spence higher.

His Uncle,s, Draft.

An old tradesman in a country town
sends his nephew Alfred to study law at
Paris. He gives him an old code ammo
tated by q leading member of the village
bar, and says to his young relative, II
will pay you visit in March, and, if
am pleased with your progress, I, will
give you such tip as will make glad
your heart, and cause your face to shine. 2
In March, the old gentleman calls on
his nephew. < a.. = t>a2-y>a
"Wel, Alfred, hard at work, I see.

Moral Eject OF the Garden.

We recommend to all women who are
fortunate enough to have piece of land
at their command to cultivate vege-
table garden. The culture of straw
berries, raspberries, blackberries, goose
berries, cu1rants and garden vegetables
is as deig htful and profitable as any,
thing in which woman can engage.
She may sprinkle her garden we'll with
flowers. All the better for that. A
SNOWFALL in this corner, and a rose in
that, a dahlia bed there and a moss
border here, will not be out of place.
Only let the substantial and useful con-
stitute the chief part. A touch of the
ornate, like a ribbon on good bonnet,
is not in the least Objectionable. In ali
the schools the girls study botany. It
is healthful, pleasing and useful. The
principles of horticulture are the princi-
pies Of botany put into practice. Farm
ers study agriculture, why should not
their wives and daughters study horti-
culture? The employment is both
healthful and pleasant. What woman
cannot raise beets, tomatoes, onions,
lettuce, and furnish her own table with
them? What woman cannot plant rasp-
berry bush, or currant or gooseberry, and
tend to it well? The experiment is both
pleasing and profitable. s.s -

The Teeth and Disease.

A full set Of teeth is necessary to
proper mastication. Digestion largely
depends on masticaton, as mastication
mixes the food with saliva-itself d.
gestive fluid and thoroughly separates
the particles so that the other digestive
tluids-the gastric juice, the bile and
the Intestinal huid-may readily act on
them.
Decayed teeth fill the in-breathed air
with putrid particles. -. W
Bad teeth often cause boils, collections
OF hardened wax in the ear, ringing of
the ears (ti,a'aita1s aa1riatna), and deafness
in various degrees. A large amount of
distress, both in the teeth and in the
ear, is frequently occasioned by the de-
cay Of the first tooth Of the permanent
set-the sixth grinder (molar). sI.a.
So strong is the sympathetic connec-
ton between the teeth and the ears. that
the condition of the former greatly af-
fects the latter, especially in childhood,
the period of marked infammatory tend
ency in the various glands OF the mouth.
DR.. Samuel Sexton has made the facts
a special study, with the aid of the oro-
scope-the new instrument for the ex-
ploration of the ear. Of 1900 cases ex-
anined by him, he attributes one-third
to the condition of the teeth. ...
DR.. Sexton says further that persons
are injured in, health by tho, amalgam
filings, the mercury which enters large
y into them being gradually set free.
Still more serious results follow when
plates-especially vulcanite-are worn
over diseased fangs, xinaamed palates or
gums, collections Of tartar, and pu:ulent
secretions.
j.. In this country, where teeth begin to
decay SO early, children sshould be taught
how to care for them, and the dentist
should be occasionally called in to in
rspect them.
