Nominated for the House.
Special Dispatch to tile lntcllIscnccr.
WESTON. September l3.-The Democracy
labored long to-day in county convention
and brought forth two mice, the largest
being Andrew Edmiston, for House OF
Delegates, and James Mullady for County
Commissioner. This convention was very
curious. Bill Lively was chairman and
Tom Edwards, who represented Ohio
county at Richmond on the Jeems," was
Secretary. The only contest was between
Edmiston and ". G. Bennett, to decide
which, those iavoring each candidate were
arranged on opposite sides Of the street
and counted as Noah formerly counted his
his militia. Irish Freeman Kearns was
coaching for Edmiston.
Amid much confusion, considerable
cussins and social drinks, Elmiston was
declared nominated by vote OF rs TO 81.
Only one resolution was adopted, and that
after being once rejected, was the follow
ing offered by Mr.. kcrns:
Rtaolred, BY tho Democrats Of Lewis
county in convention assembled. that VIC
declare as conviction Of principle that
American labor should be protected
against the paupcr labor OF ieudal England
and the despotic counties OF Europe.
This resolution was really voted down
amid laughter, but Lively declared it
adopted by sound. @ fIal ~
The Republicans are well pleased with
the result and the Democrats are fearfully
disgruntled. Put it down that Lewis is
safe for two hundred majority for Gotrand
the election Of the Republican ticket.

THE SHAMROCK

In Ireland they have an ancient supersti-
tion that whoever can find a four-leave ed
shamrock will be enabled, by virtue of its
possession, TO work miracles. Samuel Lover
has immortalized it in the following stanzas:l
I'll seek the four-leaved shamrock
In all the fairy dells,
And If / find the charmed leaves
Oh how rll weave my spells.
L would not waste my magic might
On diamond, pearl or gold
Such treasures tire the weary sense,
Such triumph is but cold.
But would play the enchanter's part
In casting bliss around.
And not tear nor aching heart
Should in the world be found.
To worth / would give horor,
I'd dry the mourner's tears,
And to the pallid lips recall
The smile of happier years.
And friends that have been long estranged,
And hearts that have grown cold
Should meet again, like parted streams,
And mingle as Of old.
Thus would play the enchanters' art
In casting bliss around,
And not a tear nor aching heart
Should in the world be found
The hearts that have been mourning
Der vanquished dreams of love,
Should see them all returning
Like Noah's faithful dove.
And Hope should 1aunch her blessed bark
On Sorrows dark'ning sea,
And Misery's children have an ark
And saved from sinking be.
Thus i would play the enchanter's part
In casting bliss around,
And not a tear, nor aching heart
Should In the world be found.

TO KEEP THE GIRLS WARM.
Three and n Half Million Seals Robbed of
Their Fur to Make sacques.

The Providence Journal has looked into
the statistics of the seal trade and presents
the following interesting points in regard
to it:
A seal skin sacque costs fifty per cent. more
than it did five years ago. Seal skins have
not been worn more than fifteen or eighteen
wears. Fashion and the discovery of new
methods of preparing and dyeing, or first the
latter and second the former, brought them
into use. The seal fur, as seen here, is the
inner coat. When on the back of the seal
fine fur Is hid by coarse hairs, which are re-
moved by process of pairing down the under
side of the skin. The color of the fur as
known to wearers is artificial. If the gov
ernment had not taken measures to protect
the seal new wearers of seal sacques would
be few in a short time. The Shetland seals
were once numerous, but have been exter-
minated. The Newfoundland seal is in the
market. but Is inferior to the seal o. alaska.
The islands of She Behring's Sea are the only
ones In the world where seal catching has
great commercial importance.
From 1851 to 1870 the scientific world
knew nothing IN regard to the history Of the
seal. The Smithsonian Institute did not
possess a perfect skin and skeleton of the
seal, although thousands of men and millions
of dollars have been employed In capturing'
dressing aud selling fur seal skins for the
last hundred years. The vast breeding
grounds bordering on the Antarctic have
been entirely depopulated. Between the
years 1907 and 1921 l,232, ,374 seal skins were
taken in the Pribylov Islands; between 1921
and 1912, 45s,5O2 skins, and from 1912 &C
| 1861, 372, 900 skins. In the year 1868 thu
number of skins taken was 1900. In 1876
only g,965 were captured. During the last
ten years the catch has been little less thar
100, 900 per year. The whole number taker
between 1896 and 1880 was 3,561,O51 skins
The seal catching Is done in June and July
After that time the fur begins to "shed" ant
Is worthless. The natives are paid fort.
cents skin for their labor.

l hear the clarions of the day;
Nights misty veil Is upward draw.
And with Its golden fringes play
The jeweled fingers of the dawn.
The curling vapors, one by one,
Are shot with opalescent CLEANS,
And now the almost risen sun
Darts up thousand crimson streams.
From heaven to earth the spiendor steals,
Down gilded vines to windowed towers
The conscious bell breaks out In peals-
God! what a wondrous world is ours.
The fiery colors slowly fade;
In sapphire depths they pass away;
The sun begins his grand parade;
From pole to pole It's perfect day.
Earths children feel their mother warm;
From drowsy beds they wake and start,
And forth, through streets and alleys, swarm
In myriads to the noisy mart
o happy toil o blessed fate
To no one thought toe close confined,
That, with each motion, drops date,
And shifts the pictures of the mind.
/ envy you your changing strife,
Your weary hours, your evening rest,
When all the little cares of life
Are lulled to slumber In the breast.
For my poor soul, that still will float
Near one idea of strange device,
Drifts on, like the Laplander's boat,
Close moored beside its berg of ice.

THE GREAT QUESTION.
Some Humorous Instances OF Asking Girls
for Their Hands Through Life.
Brooklun Edgle.


Let us suppose that the lady has been out
during the evening before to a party. The
gentleman might say that she locked very
fatigued. On her rejoining that this was a
foolish thought, he will get an opportunity
of saying, "Not foolish, Emily; | feel too
much interest in you to permit my own
wishes to run counter to your welfare"
This is properly called the magnificent style
of beginning. But very often the young lady
Is considerate enough to assist her bashful
lover. For instance, there was timid fell
low who was fond of borrowing John Phca-
nix's jokes; when she asked him how felt,
he avenged himself according to the Phoenix
plan of being very definite, and said he felt
ssabout eighty per cent" "Indeed," she
said, with demure look, are you never go
ing to par?n And she got in her work that
evening.
Another young man was saying, as he
scratched lucifer on the side of the house,
IL like these houses with sanded paint; nice
when you want to ostrike match,you know"
"Is that so ?" she asked demurely; 81 wish
lived in a house with sanded pairt," and she
then looked things unutterable. If he had
asked "what for? ?" she would have hated
him. But he didn't. He took the hint and
the match was struck then and there.
This method of "gving hint" has been
put POLITICALLY in this way:
Young Fred, a bashful yet persistent swain,
Was very much in love with Mary Jane.
One night she told him in her tenderest tone,
at is not good for man to be alone"
Said Fred, "Just so, you darling little elf;
I've often thought that same thing myself"
Then said tire lass, while Fred was all agog,
"You ought to buy yourself terrier dog"
What may be called physiological proposal
is illustrated by the case of Miss Mary Flynn
and Mr.. Budd. The young lady-a Boston
girl, by the way-was studying medicine, and
MFR. Budd was courting her. One evening,
while they were sitting together in the par
lor, Mr.. Budd was thinking how he should
manage to propose. Miss Flynn was ex-
planning certain physiological facts for his
benefit
'Do you know" she said, "that thousands
of persons are actually Ignorant that they
smell with their olfactory peduncle?"
"Millions of 'em," replied Mr.. B.
"And Aunt Mary wouldn't believe me
when l told her that she couldn't wink with
out sphincter muscle"
"How unreasonablew
"Why a person cannot kiss without a
sphincterw
"Indeed!"
| 81 know IL is So"
"May try If can?"
"Oh, Mr.. Budd, it is too bad for you TO
make light of such subject"
Then he tried 1t, and while he held her
hand she explained to him about the muscles
of that portion of the human body.
'fWillie," whispered Miss Flynn very
/ family.
ssWhat, darling?"
| 81 can hear your heart beat"
at beats only for you, my darling"
"And 1t sounds out of order. The yen-
tricuiar contraction is not uniform"
| sSmall wonder for that when it's bursting
for joy"
| "You must put yourself under treatment
for 1t. will give you some medicine"
''It's your own property, darling; do what
you please with it."

AN ANGEL FISH CAUGHT.
italian Anglers Haul UP Finny Creature
Somewhat Resembling Man.
S. y. Cal.

~ a Sutt.
An angel fish, said to be the first one ever
brought to this city, was caught with hook
and line by some Italian fishermen twenty
miles outside the Farallon Islands, in very
deep water, Thursday, brought into the city
and sold to an enterprising tobacco dealer
on Montgomery street, where 1t was yester-
day afternoon hung up In the window to ex-
cite the wonderment of passers-by. The
specimen Is about three aud half feet long,
has head as large as q mans, beneath
which pair Of wing-like fins, spreading out
over two feet from tip to tip, from the lower
extremity Of the wings-they are much more
like wings than fins and the body tapers of
to small tail. The back of the fish is
dark gray and brownish color, slightly
mottled and studded with sharp thorn-like
protuberances. The under side of the fish
presents most curious appearance, being
colored and shaped from the neck down the
entire body like human body. The thorax
is Unmarked and the abdomen Is singularly
man-like and the resemblance TO the human
organization Is very remarkable. The nov
city and rarity Of the specimen drew to the
store where 1t Is exhibited number Of SCI
entists.
Charles Walcott Brooks informed the Call
reporter sent to make the fsh's acquaintance
that the enc brought In by the Italians
Is q very rare specimen. II has heretofore
been scientifically classed, but not generally
known rs personal acquaintance, SO to say,
by even the most favored few. MIR. Brooks
stated that the squatina, speaking OF II In .
friendly manner, Is q habitne of very deep
water, where 1t pursues the very pleasant
pastime of feeding on founders and soles.
Unlike San Francisco's bon yivantes the
squatina Is never forced to accept slice of
sturgeon for sole and pay two bits for It.
Yet the squatina appears capable Of master
ing even whole sturgeon, having the true
fissure mouth ffacturing Its enormous head
from the two joints where Its ears should
have been set.
