You seem to have number of friends
who wish you to become a candidate, and

who have SO complimented me, but must

me for the office. 1t is out Of the question.
| will not be a candidate. l don't know

But suppose you were nominated any

There is no likelihood of that. I am not
enough of politician 10 receive the nomina-
ton. A man to secure the nomination must
be politician. 1 want to say again that it
is needless to talk of me- No presidential
bee has yet annoyed me-"
who do you think will be the Republican
nomnee?r
1T is impossible to tell now. Over a year
will have to elapse before the convention
meets, and many changes are likely to take
place in the meantime. The nominee may
be some man who has not been thought Of
In that connection"
"Do you think Tilden will be nominated
by the Democrats?'
"Oh, no; he is too old I don't think that
a man so old that an insurance company
would not take a risk on his life for twelve
months is likely to be nominated for Presi-
dent. Tilden has great influence with his
party, and he will dictate the nomination of
some one of his friends"
What do you think of the outlook for the
success of the Republicans at the next cleo
tion?"
II consider them good. 1 don't think any
Republicans have changed their views since
the last national election. The success of
the Democracy at the last election is attribut-
able entirely to local causes 1t was not be-
cause the Republicans had changed their
views on national issues. The reason that
certain Republican States went Democratic
was because an intelligent class of Repub-
lican voters became dissatisfied with the
party organization These voters will not
support their enemies at national election
in order to rebuke some OF the local leaders

A Great Magnetic Storm.


The next great display of sun-spots
accompanied by auroras and magnetic
disturbanee-if we except one on two
of minor importance, and a remarkable
one seen ID Europe, which will be de
scribed hereafter-occurred in Noyem
Der last, eliminating on othe 18th of
that month in one of the greatest mag
netic storms ON record, which crippled
the telegraphs almost all over the civ
ilized worEd In Europe fine auroras
were observed ON the 18th, 18th, 14th,
18th, 10th, 18th and 18th, accompanied
bymore or less magnetic disturbance.
During that time tremendous sun
spot, exceeding in size the largest of the
April spots, was advancing from the
edge of the disk to the. center In this
country the principal auroral displays
were on the nights of the 18th and 18th,
and the chief force of the magnetic
storm was felt on the 18th; On that
day storm of rain and snow prevailed
over most of the Union, and simultan-
| eously with this storm there ragged a
hurricane of magnetic forces. The eff
fects were similar to those witnessed
during the April storm, but more in
tense. As in April, some wires were
worked without batteries, wlIile others
| could not be worked at all. Cable COM
munication was interrupted Some
startling phenomena occurred. Sparks
| of fire leaped from the wires and in
strnments. In the West, switch-beards
were burned and keys melted. Opera
tors received severe shocks Practical
telegraph men said they had never
known such powerful disturbance of
the magnetic elements. In theevening,
when the sky cleared at Chicago, Almost
magnificent sight was beheld in the
heavens. The bEilliancy OF the aurora
far exceeded that of the April display,
A singular feature of the aurora,
which was also noticed in Europe, was
! splendid luminous arch spanning the
sky from east to west, and passing
nearly through the zenith. Another
feature that added brilIiancy tothe spec

Ladies' Riding Habits.

Ladies riding habits retain the Eng
fish style, with the narrow scant skirt,
that is SO safe for horsewomen, the
closely fitting trousers, and the neat
position waist. Broadcloth is chosen
for the bask and skirt, but more elias
tic cloth, similar to jersey cloth, is pre-
ferred for the trousers The eolors are
black, dark blue, dark green, brown
and olive, The simple little position
bask is lined with silk, interlined, and
well padded to give full bust. 1t is
single breasted, with high standing col
lar, and the crocheted bullet buttons
that fasten it and fasten the tight sleeves
are its only trimmings 1t has two
short darts, and its front edges curve
outward on the bust; it is only two or
three inches below the waist line in
front, and is still shorter on the hips,
until it curves down to the shOrn square
basque, which has now no pleats, but is
lined and interlined to stiffen it, is left
open up the middle seam, and Tapped
an inch across from left to right at the
waist line; there is short side form on
each side, and these are slightly Tapped
lOWdIu INC open llllittl6 SCuuII Two Dut-
tons define the waist line; cord edge
of braid is the finish which is preferred
to stitching or galloon. The habit skirt
is two and a quarter yards wide at the
lower edge, and is sloped perfectly plain
at the top to dispense with gathers; for
this season elastic cloths are used that
may be shaped to the figure smoothly,
and thus avoid all clumsy flulness in
the saddle. The tailor's rule for the
length of the habit skirt is to let the
front just reach the floor when the wear
er stands, and add to this ten inches for
the greater lengths This skirt is PEI
culiarly gored to tit smoothly when the
rider is seated in the saddle; it is open
ed on the left side, and there is pocket
in the placket-seam; the top is faced in
stead of having a belt, and there is a
row of hooks around it to fasten it to
loops inside the position basque. The
edge has stitched hem two inches
wide, and instead of being weighted to-
keep it down when the horse is in mo
ton, there is now tape-strap or loop
on each side, and when foot is passed
through each of these loops the skirt is
well held in place The trousers may
be short Knickerbockers if the weareT
likes high boots, but are most usually
long; the ribbed cloth of which they arc
made is like stockinet on the wrong side,
and is smoother on the right, but with
out luster; they are made to button in
front, a cord is in the waistband to ad-
just them properly, and they are strap

The Toothacha.

A man with full and carefully Sc
lected stock of toothache on hand is like
that unpopular individual described by
Shakespeare who hath no music in his
soul and is fit for riots, ructions, dyna-
mite plots, red-handed conspiracies and
war. He is bad man from Bitter
Creek, terror to the Household, and
ready to kick pet dog clear across the
front yard, or1drown a cat, Still there
is nameless charm about a well deyel-
oped case of the toothache. The rea-
son it is nameless is because we dislike
to throw red-hot profanity into cold
type. 1t is not refished by the great
and seething tide of humanity to whom
these stainless pages come like sooth-
ing balm-a benson of peace. We
could say things about the toothache
which would crack crockery and dry up
the Colorado river..--
But in spite of all this, there is con-
siderable toOthache humor floating
around the country. As long ago as
1850, a man struggling with the tooth
ache went to young and enthusiastic
dentist, who was trying to establish
himself in practice. That was before
the days of laughing gas, and the jour
neyman snag-snatcher put his tongs on
to the jumping tooth, gave it twist,
and said:
Does it feel any better, I've got il
half way out.
Another old manipular of bicuspids
and molars crept up on tip-toe to his
| shivering victim, and in an oily tone de-
sired him to fix his mind on some
thing else while he extracted the
| tooth.
A close listed chap from one of the
back counties, whose election returns
I are SO slow coming into headquarters
that they seldom make any material diff
ference in the result, once walked into
the Office of city dentist and said he
guessed he d have tooth out, just for
! q change. The skillful artist commenc-
/ ed q careful reconnaissance, and while
| the patient was bracing himself for the
first round, the dentist Tipped the tooth
tout into the washbowl as slick as you
/ please and as painless as eating straw
/ berry shortcake.
what did you do that tor'' inqulr-
ed the patient.
| do what?"
why didn't you rassel with me?''
81 never rassel, quietly observed the
artist
4 whats the damage?"
Two dollars"
Two dollars! Gosh all hemlock,
man! Why down in our town our home
dentist pulled me all around the room
for half hour or so, and he only
charged me four bits. You didn't carr
ne two dollars.
There is no end of humor connected
with the toothache, but space forbids
further attention TO It's extremely lndic-
rous character. The only sure cure fol
the toothache which occurs to us JUS
nowis to have your teeth fixed so thai
you can put them to sleep at night in a
glass of cold water.-1eGds SJtiags.
