delegations attending from all parts of the

great ability, OF indoinitable energy, will
and force of character. He bears spotless
reputation for honesty; and is universally
popuIsr with all CLASSES of citizens. His
nomination at Greenville will be equal TO
his election, as he never fails in anything he
undertakes. While a staunch Democrat, he
will command large support from the Re-
publicans, white and black alike. No better
or stronger man could be selected.

Baltimore Every Saturday
Most young married couples have a
"lrst baby" except in rare cases, When
they have twins. Then they have two
first babies. The first baby is always q
remarkable child. Such physical beau
ty, such intellectual quickness and
genius, and such moral perfection
were never before united in one being.
Other babies may be all very well in
their way, but this first baby is some
thing peculiarly marvellous. All its
aunts rave over it, and sven its uncles
are moved to say, "Kcccher-koe
keecher," and chuck it under the chin
with four-lingcr, by way of ingratiat-
inc themselves with the infant.
OF course the fond parents think that
the infant must be photographed. The
world at distance should not be de-
MED the opportunity of gazing upon its
lineamcnts; u record should be kept Of
its loveliness. So some fine sunshiny
day they 90 to photographer. Then
the first baby Immediately begins to
quarrel and fret and look less beautiful
than usual, although he is all dressed
up in his best clothes. He wants
things that he sees In the photograph
er's showcase, and not obtaining them
begins loudly to protest. He refuses
to Weld to pacilicatory Establishments,
and Observation-Disclosures fails to
soothc. At last his turn comes. The
mother wants him in n certain posi-
ton. The photographer doesn't ap-
prove of that position and the baby
won't have it. Finally compromise
is effected. The photographer jingles
bell, clucks like u hen and raps
with stick all at once, hoping
thereby to attract the attention OF
the first baby; but when the
picture comes out there arc found
three or four impressions everything
each other like the scales of fish. A
second sitting was taken, and the pho
tographer sleeps his soul in perjury by
telling the infant that if he will hold
still q white mouse will run out OF the
camera. The result of this is picture,
slightly shaky, with the mouth open.
A third picture is attempted when, at
the critical moment, the baby sets up a
prolonged howl. Thus are the rosy
hours bcguiled.
At last good picture is obtained
and numerous copies are ordered.
They are sent to the remotest friends
and relatives. This would cause great
excitement in distant lands if it were
not for one thing. 1t is that every
where the likeness goes it finds some
other young couple with first baby
who arc equally of opinion that theil
baby is the finest in tho world; indeed
disparaging contrasts are almost sure
" drawn between this photograph anC
| the other first baby, tothe disadvantage
of the photograph. Yet young couples

Ii is commonly said that there are no
bugs in Arabia, the dry heat killing
them all off: and certainly all the
names given for the creature in Arabic
dictionaries are either taken from the
I Jrkish manufactured Considering
what vast field for blood suckers is
Bagdad, and what myriads of this
particular species are constantly COM
ING in to it, if only from Bombay, in the
boxes OF travellers and pilgrims, what
becomes of them all is problem in
natural history, anything like extreme
heat, even supposing that to have the
effect alleged, occurring only between
.Ju,e and September Anyhow, it
was comfort to feel safe on that
score at least in turning in for the
night in billet which, if there had
been n member of the family in all
Bagdad, looked as if it would have
been sure TO hold him. But morning
brought the discovery that, if the bug
was absent, he was represented by n
sand fly with body hardly bigger
than mites, u pair of wings like tiny
sails, and a poison-injecting and blood
sucking apparatus of extraordinary
calibre. Like Doctor Syntax, when
the boiling water from Dolly's Kettle
had decantcd itself into his shoes;
The scalding torment in his feet,
soon made the half dressed victim fain
to pull of his socks and rub till the
skin was raw in hopes of getting out
the venom. Some even ascribe to this
cause the singular liberation OF the
skin to which natives of Bagdad, os-
pcciallv in childhood, are liable, and
which seldom fails to attack Europeans
and o her strangers during their first
year of residence. Either from the
season when these sores generally
break out being that when the date Is
nearly ripe or from the scar left by
them resembling that fruit in size and
contour, they are commonly spoken ol
as "datc sores" The number of peo,
pie in Bagdad whose faces are more
or less disfgured in this way frighten,s
most new comers. Hitherto the result
of medical and surgical practice has
cone to show that on whatever con
stitutional, climatic OF external cause
or causes depending, the ailiiction, like
so many others, is best left alone. II

A GOLDEN DREAM.
A Tenango County Man Unearths In Real
ity Treasures lie Saw in Slumber.
| IHt rt,,

A venango County Man Unearths in Real
Ity Treasures lie Saw in Slumber.
On CITY Blizzard.
The ordinarily quiet little town OF
Franklin, up in Venango county, has
sensation Just now which is indeed Il
sensation. Columbus Brown, who
lives in the First Ward in Franklin, one
day this week discovered hoard of
old French gold amounting to S27, 900.
For many years past there has been a
belief that during the occupation of this
part of the country by the French Il
large amount Of treasure was secretcd
in Franklin, near where the old fort
stood. Columbus Brown has u mania
in regard to this treasure, and for
years the thought of becoming pos
scssed of riches in this way has haunted
him. Mr.. Brown had many dreams
about this subject, but the most I'M
pOrtant one was on last Friday night.
Then he dreamed as usual that he
was counting and handling r chest Of
gold, and that he had found it buried
in the earth at the foot of tree in an
open field So excited was he that he
awoke, only to find il all dream, as
usual. He arose, walked to the win
dow, and there, before him, inlthe field,
stood the identical tree which he had
seen in his dream. But he put it reso-
lutcly aside as a dream, as most SEN
sble men would have done, and re-
tired to bed and to sleep. He had
scarcely closed his eyes till he was
again in the field and digging at the
root of the tree. He was informed in
some manner, he can not tell how, but
by man with q foreign accent, and in
military uniform, with n sword and
sas h, that if he would measure 4 GER
tain distance from the center of 4 rock
in the run, due north; and then meas
urg thirty-three feet due west from that
point, he would find the treasure he had
so often seen in his dreams. Early on
Saturday morning nc arose, ard Procur'
inc u tape line, went and measured as
he had been directed in his dream.
What was his surprise to find that
each and every measurement brought
him to the foot of the chestnut tree in
the open field Brown did not tell any
one about his dream, nor of Tie result,
but during the day he went to Col.
Breakly, who owns the ground, and
asked and obtained permission, on
some prctcxt, to dig near the chestnut
tree. He and his son, lad OF 10,
commenced digging at root of the tree.
and at a depth of something over six
feet, about 4 p. NJ, struck something
almost under the center of the tree
which cave forth n metallic sound. A
further clearing away of the gravel
ard stones disclosed the sides or end
of an iron box or chest. Wild with eX-
citeueut they continued to dig until
tbev had unearthed the chest or box,
which was 81 inches long, 20 inches
wide and "a inches deep, or about the
dimensions of m ordinary trunk. Their
unitnd efforts could only turn il over,

AT funeral in this city, recently, the
minister made special prayer for the

tition startled the audience and brought

the Same time, it must be felt that the

into the presence Of death, but his con

trade than to draw lessons Of warning
