with resounding aye, which doubt

towards healing the wounds made
by previous opposition. Mr.. Angel
paid his S., but did not appear very
grateful. He said he never had ac-
cepted nomination when there APP
peared to be any chance of election.
The spirit of prophesy had no doubt
descended upon him about that time.
SHERIFF.
Byron Gates and Geo. P. Randall
were nominated for Sheriff. Each
paid his assess meHt and endorsed
the resolutions. Randall received
the nomination by a vote of is to IL.
Randall then appeared before the

RECORDER.

COUNTY CLERK.
c. A. Bancroft received the NOM

reclamation. Pending the motion
to nominate this gentleman unani-
mously Mr.. Angel was looking out
of the window, probably consoling .
few Csnavan tears, and did not see
the assessment paid. Mr.. A. is a
thrifty manager for the party, and
insisted ON seeing the money put up
as evidence of good faith. The mat.
ter was however soon explained and
the acclamation in favor of Bancroft
was the louder for the rest which the
delay had given the lungs of the
delegates.

Summer Dresses.

The coolest of all fabrics for sum-
mer wear, and the daintiest indoor
dresses, are of linen lawn. They
are refined and economical, and de-
serve a greater popularity. The
grounds are always white, and the
patterns are lines in zigzag, small
flowers or leaflets in simple, mod
est color. They are delightful
morning wrappers, and have the
advantage of washing like white
linen. There is no better material
for children'5 frocks, except possibly
a fine gingham. The great secret
of dressing children effectively con-
sists in the choice of materials,
which should always be good.

!. POPULATION AND TEN PERATURE.
A census bulletin shows the distribu-
tion Of population in the United States
"a accordancei with temp srature. Ar.
ranging it in groups by degrees of
mean annual, temp sratur, it is found
that no less than % per cent. of the total
population live between lines marked
by 40 and 70 degrees Fab. The cotton
region is above 55 degrees, sugar and
rice above 70 ID grees and 0obacco be-
tween 80 degrees and 60 degrees. The
prairie region Of the Mississippi valley
lies almost entreay below 55 degrees,
while the great wheat region Of Minne-
sofa and Dakota is mainly below 40 de-
grees Of mean annual Temperature. The
highest. maximum temperature is in
Southwestern Arizona and Southeastern
California. Of the entire population 80
per cent. are found in the classes which
have o asmaxinllm temperature between
80 degrees and LOS degrees In consid-
ering minimum temperatlre it IS seen
that 95 per cent. of the inhabitants Of
the United States live between the lines
of 3b degrees below zero and 10 degrees
above for extreme cold. From this il is
evident how population tends to increase
inregions rather north Of medium tem-
perature; on, nore correctly speaking,
between isotherms Of low degree.

CANDID MRS. LAFITTB.

The death Of Mrs. Laftte, the
daughter of the late Commodore VAN

culiarities of that truthful woman.
Her first husband was favorite OF
her father, and when he was stricken
with consumption old Vanderbilt felt
worse than his daughter about it. He
sent the pair down to, Florida under the
care Of Mr.. Laftte, and Mrs. Barker
took great fancy to the gentleman--a
fancy the sick husband was not slow in
discovering.
"Well, madame" he said one morn

CATTLE RAISING IN SOUTH AMER
TCA.

The life of the cattle is wholly free.
The stock-raiser, or estancier, is the
owner of very extensive tract of past
ure land, and he leaves the animals to
live upon it. to feed themselves, and
multiply at their will The stock, even
in the widest and least.populous re-
gions, form small herds Of from 100 to
$50 head, which are made up Of steers,
cows. calves and bulls, but are always
composed OF the same individuals, and
always ihhabit the same very limited re-
gion Of the campo. and the animals pass
their lives within this region without
being confined by any inclosnre. The
distinctive character Of the groups is
especially curious in the more populous
regions, as the southern part of Rio
Grande or Montevideo, where herds may
be seen almost in contact without mix
ing, coming together and making them
selves up generally without trouble, and
they live thus side by side for years
without becoming acquainted with each
other. Each herd is SO coherent that,
when one Of its members takes fright
and turns away, all will follow it. In
consequence Of this habit, it is very dif-
dcult. when the cattle are sold, to .'pa-
rate them from the herds and to get
them along for the first few leagues. II
they are not watched, they will escape,
pass by thousands Of other animals with
ont noticing the1a, and join their
companions again. Science
