New York Republican Convention.

New York Republican Convention.
The republican State convention to be
held in New York next Wednesday. bids
fair to be of a very interesting chararacter.
The canvass for delegates has been excit-
ing between the Conkling and anti-Conk-
ling forces. with the result somewhat in
doubt.
The convention will be composed OF
496 delegates. The most Of these were
elected last week. The rural districts
went overwhelmingly against Conkling.
But the cities are largely under the con-
troll Of the Conkling machine and will go
nearly solid for him. The Tribune says
New York has - delegates. and the ma
chine can count on an almost solid
delegation. King. County has 40
delegates, and there the machine will
have the lions share. Erie has
II delegates-here, however, there
will probably be a more even division.
Albany has II delegates; Monroe II;
Rensselaer, - Oneida with its 10 con
tested delegates. will probably go down
on the roll for Conkling. Only little
calculation il needed to show how close
the issue will then he, with certain OBJ
vious advantages on Mr.. ConkliDgs
side.''
The Times takes hopeful view Of the
r. h..
but IL not sanguine "a to the result. The
accession Of Mr.. Arthur 10 the Presidency
has inspirited and strengthened the
friends of Mr.. Conkling in large de-
gree. With Mr.. Garfield President. they
would have had no chance whatever Of
carrying the convention, but under the
new and accidental order Of things they
will make lively contest.
In regard to the extra session of the
Senate there is no particular excitement.
The opinion prevails that it will be short
and quiet. The Washington Star says
"All the indications point to a quiet and
peaceable organization through mutual
concession. Should dispute over the
Offices to be filled arise a deadlock would
probably ensue and continue until the
regular meeting of Congress. Bnt there
is no reason to apprehend such unseemly
conduct on the part Of our highest legis-
lative body. The committees, according
to a custom of the Senate. are created at
each session to exist for and during that
session; but should any dispute arise at
the coming extra session over the division
of committees, the whole question of their
formation may be deferred until the regu-
lar session. as the few appointments like
ly to be made by the President will not
necessarily require consideration by COM
mittees. The plan of conceding the Presi-
dent pro tempore and the secretary to the
democrats and of according the com
mttees to the republicans seems to meet
with general favor. and. no doubt. some
such compromise will be adopted

Whom Not To Marry.

Women who love their husbands are
happy and at rest. Those who do not
are disturbed and restless. They are
always seeking for some means of kill
ling time. They are ready to fiirt at
any moment. Their children are, ac-
cording to their means, either hidden
in Nurseries under the care of French
bOnneS, or handed over to Sally, the
slatternly nurse, to shake, and slap, and
stuff with sugar, as her wisdom dictates,
while society and amusements of all
sorts occupy their mothers time. Home
is not happy to the poor woman, because
she has chosen her mate foolishly-be-
cause she trusted to that Glove after
marriage" which mercenary old people
promise those who maze what they call
q sensible match.
Sad as neglected wife, who loves
her husband well, must be, I believe
she is happier than this poor restless
creature, though she be worshipped.
The love of one we do not love becomes
simply bore, especially in the close
intercourse of home life and she who
does not give her heart to her husband
is not likely to care much for his chill
dren. So, girls, if you do not love your
lover, don't marry him. Remember
that marriage is a serious step, and that
when you give him your hand that he
may encircle it with wedding ring,
you seal the happiness or misery of
your natural life. Don't marry unless
you are sure of your love for him, and
his for you.
