THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Convention
met in Baltimore city on June z3d
to nominate Comptroller of the trea-
sury for this falls ticket. 1t was COM
posed of exceptionally able, represent
alive and conservative gentlemen. 1t
did not take long after the delegates to
the convention from all over the State
began to assemble at Barnum's and
count noses to see that the Democratic
party in the State was largely, over
whelmingly in fact, in favor of the re-
not lination of the.present Comptroller,
the Hon. Thomas Heating In the
convention and endeavoring to obtain
a seat in it, to which they were not
entitled, was the usual number of tur-
bulent gentlemen that go up to all con-
ventions of all parties. These gentle
men were treated with more courtesy
than they were entitled to receive,
however, but hrmly given to under
stand, and made to know it, that they
could not "run that convention I"
against the properly sent delegates of
the People. The result of the deliber-
ations in the end was the denomination
of Hon. Thomas James Heating, of
Queen Anne's County. The following
platform of principles for the coming
campaign was perfected and adopted !:

Suggestions CONCERNING Long Iae,
S. P. s..


II any one could furnish the world
with "a medicine which would insure
long life, there is no end to the de-
mand he would have for his drug.
The Herald Of Health thinks lie would
need many factories to make it. and
many banks to hold the money he
would receive. Fortunately, there is
no such medicine, and so the world
will have to get along in some other
way. Sometime ago the French gov
eminent sent circular. letter to all
the stricts of that country to collect
information as to those conditions of
lie which seemed to favor longevity.
The replies were very interesting, but
on the whole rather monotonous: and
the general result was that longev-
lty Is promoted by great sobriety, reg
uIar labor, espec ally in the open air,
short of excessive fatigue easy hours.
a well-of condition, philosophical
mind in meeting troubles, not too
much intellect, and domestic life.
The value of marriage was universal
ly admitted, and long-lived parents
were also found an important factor.
A healthy climate and good water
were mentioned. All this agrees with
common sense, unless the idea that in
telect is a hinderance to longevity be
considered unreasonable, and we know
that some of the most intellectual
fhen have lived to great ages.

port of this month the warm rain sent
the greater portion of the snow rush

On Monday of this week, Feb. l4th,
Mr.. William REILLY Glenn of Willow

Tilson at the residence of the Honor
able L. B. Rinehart, the bridegroom's
brotber-in-law and who lives at the

forty couples spent the night in the
pleacures of the may dance.
