county and Patrick O'Meara and F. w.
Pors the candidates from Washington
and Ozaukee respectively. At the pro-
per time it was agreed that the delegates
from Washington and Ozaukee were to
swing into line for Hayes and thus give
him the nomination. From democratic
authority we have it that in Hays con-
senting to all this he could not be DEEM
ed quite square inasmuch as two weeks be-
fore it is openly asserted that Mr.. Hays
unqualiiedly declared himself in
favor of the nomination of E. c..
Lewis, of Juneau, for Circuit Judge
and promised him his active sup
port. What caused the change to come
over the spirit of James dreams does not
appear, but suffice it to say that the leak
ing out of the conference" mat ter
aroused the ire and Indignation of Mr..
Lewis friends, as well it might, under
the circumstances we have related. It
would seem that sufficient respect ought
to be shown the judicial office to treat it in
a manner different from what it has been
dealt with by the gentlemen connected
with the dominant party Of theThirteenth
Circuit. The selection of candidate
should not be the result of a put up job,
such as might be expected in nominatinga
constable or sealer of weights and
measures. It was ardently hoped that
the Dodge county democrats, at least,
would endeavor to keep out of the old
partisan rut in dealing with the question
of a judge for their new circuit. 1t is
not evident by those best acquainted
with the conference" candidates that
any one of them possesses very especial
ly the qualifications, that is demanded on
the bench. 1T is among the possibilities
that Notwithstanding the "bulge" that
Hays appears to have on the nomination
that A. Scott Sloan will be nominated
by the Democratic convention which is
called to meet at Hartford to-day. Mr..
Lewis is still candidate and NAV get
delegates enough to nominate him. In
the event of either Lewis or Hays be-
ing selected by the convention at Hart
ford, it is deemed quite probable that
Mr.. Sloan will run as an Independent
candidate wi tn the chances favoring his
election. The republicans it is stated
will place no candidate in the field If
they did L. F. Frisby, of West Bend,
would most likely be their nominee.

THE COMMON PEOPLE. /,
Washington Irving.l

1t is when the rich and well ed
ucated and highly privileged classes neglect
their duties when they neglect to study the
interests and conciliate the affections, and
instruct the opinions and champion the
rights of the people. that the letter become
discontinued and turbulent, and fall into
the hands of demagogues the demagogue
always steps IN when the patriot is want
ing.
There is a common, high-handed cant
among the high feeling and, as they fancy
themselves, high-minded men, about put
ting down the rabble or mob; but all true
physicians certainly know it is better to
sweeten the blood than to attack the
tumor; to apply the emollient rath-
er than the cautery. It is absurd in
a country like this when there is so much
freedom, and such jealousy of right, for
any man to assume an aristocratical tone,
and talk superciliously of the common
people" There is no trade that makes him
Independent of the opinions and affections
of his fellow-men; there is no rank nor dis
tinction that sewers him from his fellow
subjects; and if, by any gradual neglect or
assumption on the one side, and discon-
tent and jealousy on the other, the orders
of society should really separate, let those
who stand on the eminence beware that the
chasm is not mining at their feet. The or
ders of society in all well constituted gov
ernments are naturally bound together, and
important to each other There can be no
such thing in a free government as vac
uum; and whenever one is likely to take
place, by the drawing off of the rich and
intelligent from the poor, the bad passions
of society will rush in to fill up the space,
and rend the whole asunder,

A FEMALE STOCK GAMBLER.


The WAYS of heaven are inscrutible, no
doubt, but the ways of women are past
finding out. An ancient dame, bowed
under the weight of many summers en-
tered an office on Montgomery street and
ordered the stock broker who inhabited
that cell to buy Immediately for her shares
in a certain stock to the amount Of $500,
all her worldly wealth.
The broker being kind hearted man,
and not having very good opinion of
the aforesaid stock, advised her not to
buy. But the old lady having conf
dence in her judgment, insisted, saying
that if the broker would not purchase
for her there were others who would,
whereupon the idea struck the man of
shares and margins that it would be good
thing to humbug the old girl for her own
good He therefore told her that he had
bought the stock as ordered, and the old
lady was contented.
Next day down went the stock, and our
venerable friend lost $500 and about a
thousand more-that is, she would have
lost his amount had the broker done as
she desired. Down she came to the office,
weeping and wailing and crashing her
teeth, or, rather her gums for teeth she
had none. ''Oh, Mister - she ex-
claimed; ''oh, if only had my $500 back
again, I'd be content, and never, never,
never risk it any more. It's all
have in the world This and much
| much more did she pour into the bro
ker's sympathizing ear and he made an
swer thus:
Madam, if you viii give me your word
of honor never to touch stock again III
take your risk myself and hand you back
your money" What pen can describe the
shower of blessings invoked on the head OF
that worthy broker ? The promise was
sacredly given, the $500 returned, and the
old lady marched straight out of the office,
across the street, and invested the entire
sum in "Ophir," losing the whole in about
twenty minutes. Shall we believe this rep
resents the constancy of some women?

LADIES AND CIGARETTES.


That great many ladies indulge in the
fragrant cigarette is an open secret In
deed the custom has become so universe,
that it can hardly be called a secret at all
1t used to be very common for girls when
| party of them met in some quiet place,
where there were no men, to take a few
puffs at a cigarette for the sake of the for
hidden fruit sensation. But now they are
more bold about it, and | will venture to
say that the majority of New York girls
smoke cigarettes.
A number of gentlemen have told me
that their wives would take cigarette af-
ter dinner when they took their cigars, and
approved of the custom. / know one lady
one of the highest born in the land, who
was an inveterate smoker until forbidden
by her physician.
Spanish, Russian and Polish ladies al
most smoke as much as the men, and no
one thinks the worse of them for it
should not like to see ladies smoke CT
CARS or pipes, but l can see no impro-
priety in an occasional cigarette. There
is a great difference in the way they are
smoked,
have seen some women smoke a Gig
arctic so daintily that it was a beautiful
sight to watch the delicate smoke curling
up from her rosy lips while others puff
away in such masculine manner that one
becomes thoroughly disguised.
have been at number of dinner par
ties where the cigarettes were passed
around to the ladies when the cigars
we've brought to the gentleman. l am
talking about the best people now and not
Bohemians 1t the walters of Delmonico's
or the Brunswick would tell you, you
would be surprised at the number of pri-
vate parties where cigarettes are smoked by
ladies.
If you ask lady plump out whether she
smokes, she will evade the question until
she has sounded your opinions, and if they
are favorable she will generally confess in
the affirmative. l have heard some people
say they would rather see a woman drunk
than smoke; that they thought the latter
more masculine. I do not think so, and
the effects of cigarette are certainly more
innocent than of champagne or whiskey-

Passenger Elevators.
New York letter.

The passenger elevator in New York
has become as great an institution al
most as the grain elevators in from Buff
falo and Chicago 1t is estimated that
there are 400 in this city, carrying ON an
average of 700 persons each per day, or
2SO, 900 in all, or more people than the
80 miles of elevated railroad transport
The Equitable building was the first
large place TO adopt the facility, and it
has been quickly followed by great
number of Others, till now hardly any
building of note is without its elevator.
The Equitable has six going al day; the
Boreel four; the United States Bank
building two, and so on One of the
principal attractions of the new
apartment houses are the elevators.
Ladies like them immensely, and it
is said that in houses possessing this con
venience certain classes of female diseases
are almost unknown. In dry goods stores
many ladies, finding no elevators. go else
where, rather than climb up stairs. The
lofty offices in tall buildings rendered
accessible by the elevator, and removed
from the rosr of the streets are now the
favorites, and command as high rents as
the lower floors. Lawyers and profes-
sional men generally much affect these
lofty retreats as being favorable to study
and research, and in most of the very tall
buildings it is said that not an office re-
mains untenanted.
