The New York Republican
e. Conveniiou. ~, !

1, New York, EoenS4ig Com
n1erciol, Z onkIing organ, is sintensly
bitter over the result of yesterday S
convention, which it denounces as a
fraud, declaring it disgraceful. 1t
strongly intimates that Conkling's
support cannot be had for the ticket,
for how can he, with self respect
offer his services to the men who by
fraud, treachery, deception and the
use OF despicable arts have secured
control of the party, and call them
selves republican leaders.
The Tribune says: For the first
time in many years the republican
opinion of New York has found ex-
preston in state convention. One
hundred and eight was the majority
before which the COnkling machine
went to the wall yesterday. If the
voice of the republicans of the cities
had not been Stif1ed by the district
association and had found as free
expression as did that of their breth-
rem in the rural districts, the conven-
ton would have been almost unani-
nous. The ticket nominated is
made up of good material through
out, is well distributed geographic
cally and is representative of both
wings of the party.
The Times says: The convention
yesterday may be justly ealled
reform convention 1t leaves the
party in healthy and vigorous con-
ditiOn. There is no doubt that the
action of the convention breaking
with the custom which has given to
the state committee SO large an in
fuence over the formal action of the
party will be generally approved
The candid and kindly tone which
prevailed in the convention with
reference to the south is an indica-
ton that it will require even more
than the usual democratic facility
to make purely sectional issue
again very prominent.
The Herald: The republican con-
vention turned out to be as the
Herald predicted, very moderate,
conservative, tame affair. The OPP
ponents Of COnkIing carried the
organization, but they seem to have
used their power with dignity and
reserve. Whether the harmony
will last is another question, but the
anaesthetic influence of Arthur as
President will not be lost upon the
republican convention. Even in the
angry jangling and wrangling of the
candidates, it is too soon to speak.
The Sun: From first to last, and
along the whole line, the stalwarts
we've routed, and it was evident at
the evening session how they felt;
they were sullen. They were in a
state of mind that is dangerous to
the faction-ridden party, and that is
not likely to be less dangerous at
the time of The election.
The World: The victory of the
half breeds in the convention
simply binds the stalwarts to
beat the republican ticket in
the election. The nominations
make up a neat and complete step
ladder to the transom ticket. 1t is
tolerably clear that the delegates
who nominated such a ticket did
it with confidence and well
grounded expectation of its defeat.

A timely interest is given, by the

ton of her masterpiece, "Romola,"
just issued by the American Book EX-
change, New York. 1t shows her
work at the best and strongest, and at
the same time gives the reader the OPP
portunity to acquire a lasting famili-
arity with the scenes and society of
medieval Italy. 1t is one of the few
really great historical novels of the
world. 1t is issued in handy and
beautiful form, extra cloth binding,
simple but rare elegance and taste in
design, and like the other issues of the
Literary Revolution" its cost is al
most nominal, viz. 35 cents, it is one
of a series intended to form library
of classic fiction which will include
one representative and characteristic
work of each of the great authors who
have won lasting fame in the realm of
fiction. Life is too short and too full
of work to permit the reading of all
that is beautiful and valuable in these
creations of imagination, but even
very busy people can find time to read
one book by each of n score of authors
who have won immortal fame and a
place i'm the affections of the people.
Not to be acquainted with them is to
be ignorant of much that is most inn
portant and most interesting in the
history OF nations and of men. Not to
possess them is to be deprived Of most
fruitful and profitable sonrces of enjoy
ment. Among those issued or nearly
ready are Scotts "Ivanhoe," Bulwer's
"Pompeii, "Irving's "KnickerbOcker,"
Cooper's "Mohicans," "Tom Brown

ote," and "Uarda, romance of an
cient Egypt" Full catalogue of stand
ard publications will be sent on re-
quest, by the American Book Ex-
change, Tribune Building, New York.

Driving stock East.

Captain John Mullan has written a
letter recommending to the people of
Eastern Oregon and Washington
Territory, in driving their stock to an
eastern market to take the Mullan
wagon road or the Pend d' 'Oreille river
road to Missoula City, then up He'll
gate valley to Deer Lodge valley,
and then via the Little Blackfoot to
the Missouri river. He claims the
distance is considerable nearer to
Cheyenne and the grass is much bet
ter on this northern route than up the
Snake river valley. Whether this be
so or not, it is to be hoped that the cat
tie drovers will hereafter take the
northern route. There is no greater
curse to the stock growing interests of
a country than the large bands of cat
tie that have been driven through this
country for the last few years. II the
same number of cattle should be driven
for two or three years more they will
consume all the grass in the Snake
river valley. Thus far they have
driven along the thoroughfares and
swept over comparatively narrow
strip of country, but on all they did
pass over the grass was eaten out and
trodden down so that it will not come
again for several years. The stock
men of southern Idaho are already
feeling the injury seriously, and while
there is much inconvenience and
trouble in securing their own cattle
from mixing up with these droves and
losing them, there is greater danger
that their great ranges in southern
Idaho will be eaten out altogether by
the cattle droves. 1t is fortunate for
stock raisers who are able to find a
location where these herds do not pass
to do so; and it will be still more for
tunate for the country when the rail-
road comes and takes the cattle and
carries them to market.
We are under great obligations to
Mr.. Mullan for writing his letter, and
we hope it will be extensively circu-
lated, and the drovers will accept his
advice and hereafter take the northern
route. Boise Statesman.

|, Among the many curious things to
be seen in MendOcinO county, CalifOr-
mia, are the poison springs near Hope
miles north of HOpeland and near the
bank of the Russian river. Though
near travelled route, but few people
know of their existence. They are To-
Gated on a small marsh, which is des-
titute of trees, though surrounded by a
heavy underground. On this marsh
are several pool-like springs. The
water itself is not poisonous, but the
gas arising out of one of the seams in
the earth is very poisonous. Scattered
about the springs are the bones of an
imals that have fallen victims to this
poisonous vapor. Foxes, rabbits and
squirrels have been among the vic
Tins. 1t is said that even the birds
flying low down over the springs are
sometimes poisoned and fall to the
ground. A reliable gentleman relates
that he has seen as many as three
foxes lying by the springs at one time.
Nor is it the lower animals only that
have been poisoned, as several Indians
have been killed by it. They attrib-
ute medical virtue to the vapor, and
sometimes go to these springs to in
hale it. The effect is dizziness, and
they soon become overpowered unless
they leave and go to the pure air. 1t
is said the fumes are stronger in the
morning than at any other time. 1t
is related of Scott, the bear hunter,
that he was hunting in early days
near this spot, and did not know of
these springs. One of his best dogs
went to the spring and Scott himself
soon followed. He found his dog in
the throes of death, and unwary of the
cause, he himself was nearly overpow-
cred by the noxious fumes. These
facts are we'll known in the vicinity.
There has never been a chemical anal
ysis of the water or the vapor, but the
springs will, no doubt, soon attract at
tentiOn.

A VICTIM OF INTERNAL COMBUS-
TIoN.- The story is current in Harlem
that an old man living in that part of
the city was almost the victim of in
ternal combustion a few days ago. He
was suffering from an attack of rheu-
matism, and was told that kerosene
oil, taken internally, would relieve
him. He swallowed wineglassful,
and soon feeling better, filled his pipe
for comfortable smoke. AZ he did
30 he saw blue flame playing be-
tween the match and his lips, and felt
q stinging sensation within his mouth
and throat. Hastily blowing out the
match, his breath ignited and ribbon
OF the flame extended the distance of a
yard from his lips, while the burning
within increased. He Immediately
closed his mouth and placed his fingers
to his nostrils, thus extinguishing the
flames. He believes that but for his
presence Of mind he would have met
with horrible death. Some of his
neighbours believe 80. too; Others are
skcpticxl about the occurrence.-'S'trer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The desire to
witness the count ofthe electoral votes
announcement of the result of the last
and presidential election threw an
immense throng to the capitol, and al
though the proceedings were simply
formal and devoid of excitement, the
spectacle of the vast assemblage in the
hall of the house was uncommOnly
impressive and interesting. The floor
was also made brilliant with ladies'
toilets interspersed among the men,
bers' seats from the rows occupied by
the grave and reverend senators close
back To the doors of the cloak rooms,
and the whole scene, with its attend
ant and thoroughly pervading spirit
of good nature, suggested an inter act
at the opera more than anything else,
and afforded striking contrast with
the tumultuous excitement and sense
of danger which characterized the
stormy electoral count of four years
ago. Among the distinguished out
sidcrs who occupied seats or the floor
to-day were Secretary Evarts, Attor-
ney General Devens and Private Sec
retary Rogers. Senators Conkling
and Bayard, by some mis-chance,
were assigned to seats in the front
row, Immediately adjacent; but
throughout the proceedings, neither
spoke nor looked towards the other.
With this noticeable exception, the
members of both political parties
seemed to vie with one another in
manifestations of good feelings from
first to last, and the proceedings ter
minated as they began, without q rip
pie of excitement except Of pleasur-
able character.

That the people of Washington Ter
ritory are honest Is evident from the
endeavors made in all directions to
wipe out town and county debts and
to keep the Territory out Of debt. 1t
is customary in new communities
elsewhere to enter upon all sorts Of
public enterprises, requiring enormous
expenditures far beyond the current
resources, and enthusiastic and reck-
less people relying upon the growth of
their neighborhood to justify their ex-
travigance. 1t seldom does this, and
the people, by long years OF burden
bearing, for generation or two after
regret the doings Of those who lived
and were in power before them. Moth
ing of this sort is to be seen in WASH
ington; of which the aggregate Of mu-
nicipial, county and Territorial debts
Is undoubtedly less than five, ten or
