Jenkins, lis; Mccall. IS; Merrimau II
Jenkins was declared nominated aud
he expressed his thanks for the favor
in few words.
For Prosecuting Attorney the name
of Hon. J. d. Horton only had been
announced, and a motion was made
that he be nominated by acclamation.
Before the motion was put Col. Will.
Kent announced the name of M. A.
Norris, Esq, for the office, but that
gentleman said lie could not, on ac-
count of pledges he had made to Mr..
Horton and friends, honorably consent
to accept, and the Convention nOmi-
mated Mr.. Horton by accIamation.
For Commissioner the first vote re.
suited as follows: a. B. Merrill Paris
a Orrin Smith, Suffield. 81 II. G..
Austin, CharlestOwn, 20.
The names of Messrs. Smith and
Austin were withdrawn, and on mo.
ton, Mr.. Merrill was nominated by
acclamation.
Frederick w. Coffin was nominated
by acclamation for Infirmary Director,
as was also Jedediah Cole, of Garretts-
vile, for Surveyor.
BY this time the great interest had
subsided and most of the delegates and
spectators taken their departure. DIR.
A. M. Sherman, on behalf of the Conn
mittee on Resolutions, submitted a re-
port, which was adopted without OPP
position. The resolutions simply en-
dOrse the State platform, laud C$

Mechanic 5 InsdiGu5e Fair.

A Boston letter says of this fair: There is a
certain exhibit ia the % ain hall, which, though
not conspicuous ny its size, is OF peculiar inter-
est at present. Comparatively few people no.
tce it, bat probably there is not visitor to
toe exhibition who woald fail to inspect 1t
we're he aware OF lis character. l5 consists OF
small pyramidcAl glass case with cone in
the center studded with many varieties OF
caps, shells and bullets, and surmounted by
brass statuetts OF Mercury, posing cartridge
in It's appraised baud ID a corner at the base,
with its ugly muzze bearog iull upon the WIS.,
itor as be approaches from the maiu aisle, is
British bulldog pistol of the same make and
the same in every particular, AS that with
which Guiteau shot the President. Fheer are
also in the same case specimens of the empty
she'll the bare bullet and the complete car
fridge. Another minor exhibit that deserves
attention. and gets IL, is the cabinet case of
Gettysburg relics, located about midway IN
the right gallery. One choice item OF the eol-
lection is the teescOped lead OF a federal mime
ntll aud rebel round bullet. The veteran ia
eha-ge states that the only similar relic IN This
country is at Concord, among the reVolullOuA-
rV souvenirs. Near at hand there ~ 10 be
seen for A limited period. the favorite AZ OF
Captain Raphael Semmes, whom sundry peo-
pie will recall AS a voyager OF somewhat un-
conventional propensites. Tne bunting q at
present the property of Mr.. l. w. b ynton, OF
Hartford who prizes it at tsn thousand doll
lars 1t is accompanied by autograph letters
from Semmes and others, which bear te7ti-
moDy to its genuineness, and it is said TO be
the only authentic relic of the privateer in ex-
stence.
Among the euriosities at the fair worthy OF
note are a pair of socks made of canine warn
by a lady, four pound fragment of fallen
star. and a petritied birds nest containing
three eggs, the identity OF which is puzzle TO

A Mistake 20 Eat Quickly.


Mastication performed Ia haste mast be i'm
perfect even with the best Of teeth and the due
admixture of the salivary secretion with the
food cannot take place. Waen a crude mass
of inaIsquately crushed muscular hore, or un-
divided solid material of any description, IS
thrown into the stomach it acts as mechani-
cal irritant, and sets Cp a condition III the mu-
cous membrane lining taat organ which great
" impedes if it does not altogether prevent the
process of digestion. When the practice of
eating quickly and filing the stomach with un-
prepared food is habitual the digestive organ
is rendered incapable of performing its proper
functions. Either much larger quantity of
food than would be necessary under natural
conditions is required, or the system suffers
from lack OF nourishment. Those aHimals
which were intended to feed hurriedly we're
either gifted with the power of rumination or
provided with gizz ,rds. Man is not so fur
nished and it is fair to assume that ne was in-
tended to eat slowly. We must apologize for
reminding our readers of facts so familiar; but
We do this in the hope that any VINO may
chance to have influence with the managers OF
large hotels where dinners la table d 'hote are
in vogue will take measures TO bring about
much-needed reform in the manner in which
these entertainme ITS are conducted AT the
best and most frequented establishments in
places of fashionable resort, where at this sea-
son mutitudes of health-seekers are went TO
congregate the hurried dinners are not only
causes Of annoyance, but actually go far 20 pre-
vent the benefit which should be derived from
A change. No sooner is one course served than
another is introduced, without giving the guest
time to digest or even TO swallow the first.
The eagerness to secure good dividends takes
particularly mischievous form when it piles
food on the plate of a customer and cOmpes
him to consume it breathlessly. The matter
NAV seem a small one, but it Is not so just
as man NAV go on for years with defective
teeth, imperfectly masleating his food, and
wondering why he suffers from indigestion 30
a man NAV habitualy live under an intcNon
of hurried dinners and endure the consequent
loss of health, without knowing whv he IS not
we'll, or how easily the cause OF his illness
might be remedied.

A Sensible Reply.

L
The Burlington Free Press, we are glad to
following absurd assertion OF Harper's Week
| ly:
Except for the doctrine that the whole
| civil service is the spois aud plumber OF a vic
| torious party, the President would not have
| been assassinated by Guiteah."
| The Free Press says in refutation OF this as
sumption:
"But Just where Guiteau hooks on to the
| spois system has not been shown. The es-
| sence Of that system is that appointments shall
| go to party workers or personal favorites OF
| some Congressman OF party leaTer, whose rec
ommendatiou is all powerful with the appoint
| Ing power. But this miserable Guiteau never
came within gunshot of sgetting a recommen-
dation from any Congressman or party leader.
He was not party worker, not POLITICIAN
and never did get aud never would get any
nearer I'd securing an appointment under the
spoils system than he would under civil service
rules OF course it is not maintained by HaF-
Der's Weekly that Guiteau would have been
likely to get an office under reasonable reg
uiation" Of appointments, and so, being salts
fed would have no motive to kill the Presl-
dent But in no other way that we eau see,
could the reasonable regulation" have pre-
vented the crime.
Guiteau it is said, was disappointed office
seeker He was disappointed seeker after
ANYTHING and everything 0y which men make
money and notorlety. When revivals were
going on he was a self-apponted revIvslist;
when lecturing was especially profitable he
was a lecturer; when offices were up he was II
otfice-seeker But he did not seek Office
through any of the ways recognized by the
spoils system, and the abolition of the spoils
syssem will no more prevent such crack
Drained vagabonds from seeking office than II
will prevent them from lecturing, or from set
ting up as evangeists, or from any sensational
employment that supplies men with excite
melt, notoriety and money.
The reasonable regulation of appointments
favored by Mr.. Curtis OF Harper's Weekly,
involves the plan of competitive examinations.
But that implies competitors-two at least for
every office open to competition. Under that
system, them there will still be disappointed
ottice-seeksrs-at least as many of thea as OF
the successful Othc '-getters or course, If
there are any more GuiteauS they will be very

of the examination room By consciousness that
they cannot succeed-a feeling not likely 10
trouble such coneeited ''cranks'-they will be
as likely TO resort to assassination in blind rage
or in the hope of bringing in President who
will restore the old ways, as they have been
and are under the doctrine that to the victors
belong the sDois. A reasonable regulation"
of appointments will not regulate the lives or
the brains Of monomaniacs We believe in
civil service reform. We were on record in
open and practical opposition to the spoils sys-
tenn befere the modern agitation for cvil-ser-
vice reform began-wp have faith that the re-
form is coming. Bat it will not cure all the
ills that flesh is heir to, and it seems to us un-
wise to handicap the movement by arousing
illogical expectations tina: it is going to reform
all mankind, or prevent shocking crimes that
have no demonstrable connection with the
evil to be reformed

TEE water famine of New York is such
the use of dynamite for the purpose of
blowing up buildings in case of serious
fire. The daily consumption of water at
New York city is 95,0O0,000 gallons, and the
present daily flow of water into the reser-
voirs is only 100000 gallons, so that the
supply in the reservoirs is being heavily
drawn upon.

"EAcH epoch calls for new agents"
writes General Sherman in recent letter,
''aLd should the year 1900 call for new men,
the ca lants, Shermans and Sheridans will
fail as signally as did the st. Clairs and
Hulls of 1872 and the Woods and Worths of
lS49. As long as our country is in the as
cendant scale men will arise equal to any
occasion, but when the time comes for a
decline then no personal effort will avail o.
succeed. Ohio has succeeded Virginia.
Now look out next for Iowa and California.
You seem 10 be gathering data of the past;
better the pre- ent and the future.''

A WASHINGTON despatch to the Boston
Traveller says the harmony of the party is
to be the keynote of President Arthur's ad-
