FciO Contention AIriydIs Yesterday.
Western Assoc1ated Press

CHICAGO, July 1.-The day has been one
of extraordinary quiet in view of the near
approach of the Democratic national conven-
ton and the situation here contains very
little of interest. The California delegation
is the only one on the ground, with scatter
ing delegates from Ohio, New York, Penn
sylyania, Michigan, and Iowa. To-mor-
row will witness the arrival of the New York
and Massachusetts, delegations, and Sunday
great number of marching clubs will ar
rive, when the anti-convention uproar will
probably reach its height.
Chairman Barnum of the national COM
mittee arrived to-day and among other of the
more notable arrivals were Henry Waiter
son, Congressman Frank Hurd, VIM. r.
Morrison and Francis Herman.
Work upon the platform has already been
commenced and Mr., Hurd expresses conf
dence that the tariff reformers will be in
control of the committee on resolutions by
a strong majority.
Presidential talk is heard about the cor
ridors, but very little has transpired to in
dtcate the tide Of feeling. Presidential sem
ttment is not expected to crystalize until af-
ter the caucus of the New York delegation,
and their position is unknown.
Late-this evening the Delaware delegation
put in appearance and will at once open the
Bay ard headquarters at the Palmer house.

SUNDAY.
Why Logan Took the Vice-Presidency.

A group of Republican politicians were as
sembled yesterday afternoon in one of the
rooms of the Grand Pacific hotel discussing
the Illinois senatorship, to become vacant
next March. Several of the gentlemen pre-
sent, who are warm admirers of Gen. Logan,
expressed their surprise at his acceptance of
the second place on the national ticket.
They said it was so unlike Logan's nature to
be content with an inferior position. 1t
would be more natural for Logan to quietly
bide his time for the ensuing four years, and
in the interim be reelected to the Senate
Finally a swarthy Egyptian, an exmember Of
Congress. assuming typical attitude by
resting his heels on the marble mantel, said !:
ssYour theories are all well enough, gentle
men. but think know Logan more init
matelv than any of you, and believe I
speak by the book when / say can give the
causes which prompted Logan to get out Of
the swim, so far as Illinois politics is con-
eerned."
Every one present knew the speaker was
on the most confidential terms with Gen.
Logan, and with one accord they insisted on
an explanation. The ex-member of con-
gress said: ''John A. Logan has never won
ANYTHING with ease. His senatorial contests
have been remarkable for the bitterness
manifested by his enemmies. The cam
paigns in which he has participated have
involved large expenditure of money, and
Logan has never had any very vast amount
of wealth at command. No sooner has he
rallied from the drain of one campaign than
another was on his hands. Take this one
as an example, Logan's friends put up
money with which to carry primaries and
elect delegates friendly TO his cause
Immediately following the election of dele
gates came divers expenses incident to a
presidential CAMPAIGN. More money was
REQUIRED, and his friends produced it.
When the convention came the treasury
was practically depleted. A number Of Lo
gan's followers met in a room in the Meth
osiist Church block in this city, and scrape1
together about 80, 600 for the perfectly le-
gitimate purposes of securing headquarters,
printing badges, and the thousand and one
incidents of the occasion. When Gen. Lo-
gan became convinced that he had no
earthly show, he argued to himself: I viii
take the vice-presideney if can get it by
acclamation. That viii give me more pay
and keep me out Of another fight at SPRING
field. Nv friends have done their best, and
1 do not care to burden them any longer
Now those are the reasons, in my opinion,
why Logan signiied his entire willingness
to 20 on the national ticket with Blaine"

Political Punch and judi.

1t is not often that puppet show outside
of Italy is made the vehicle of political sar-
casm. But such was the case in Brussels
few years ago, when a socalistic Punch and
communistic Judy were confscated by the
Belgian police.
The children's theatre in the Brussels Park
secured the services in 1875 of a new busi-
ness manager, George Cavalier, nicknamed
"Wooden Pipe" who had been conspicuous
in Paris during the commune of 1871, when
he fled to Brussels to escape a court-mar-
tial. He produced an entirely new play
called "The Marshall's Goddaugher." 1t
was a violent satire on McMahon's govern
ment The characters represented by puppets
were Punch, with a suspicious resemblance
to Monsieur Thiers; Barghella, clever Gen
oese, with telent for intrigues (Gambetta); /;
the Duke deBegonio, nobleman of all work.

Gascon, with very long mustaches and

agined when, instead of Punch beating the
policeman, they saw the marshal beating
poor Mr.. Theirs down stairs, and the en-
press running through ''them corridors" at
Versailles to ask the hand of Marianne of
the Marshal for her frog of a son. The par
ents Of the children soon saw through the
himsy disguise, and the matter being re
ported to the police Cavaliers infant red re-
publican propaganda was promptly sup
pressed.

My son, if you are coming into Wall
street to speculate come well heeled. A
man may be handsome and ever so good,
but when it comes to margins the brokers
want cash.
After you have got here with your cash
you want to sit down and study a few of the
big spectators. Gould, Vanderbilt, Sage,
Keene and the rest of the boys have their
peculiar traits and tricks. 1t will be worth
$4,000 to you to know that when Gould
turns bull it is out of pure kindness to
suffering friends whose stocks have been
crawling backwards.
You will make some money. The chan
ces are ninety nine in hundred that you
will. You will feel exultant and puffed up,
and you will pity men who havn't the nerve
to speculate. You will find yourself sailing
with fair breeze and clear sea, and if
yours arms are long enough you will pat
yourself on the back.
Then you will put your hat on your ear
and bait your hook for big fish, you'll get a
bite or two and feel tickled to death. You
may even haul sucker half way out of the
water, but all of sudden away goes hook
and line and pole, and an ice wagon knocks
you down, an omnibus runs over you, po-
liceman clubs your bleeding remains, and a
good-hearted blind man offers to show you

The Arf of PEeaatnn.

Girls in general, instinctively seek to
make themselves agreeable. This they at
tempt in various ways-some wise and some
foolish. The aim is natural one, for the
happiness and comfort of the world is very
largely dependent upon the amiability of the
gentle sex. Madame de Sevgne, the cele-
brated French geuius, thought the education
of girls should be directed to making them
''loyable company" by means of their
affection, which would inspire the desire to
please.
Madame de Sevigne stands high as woman
of culture and good character, and also as an
educator When she encouraged the
"desire to please" there is no mistaking
her meaning. BY the art of pleasing she did
not intend merely the art of dancing, Of say
ing agreeable little nothings, and of charm
ing by the aid ofbecoming dress. She laid
special stress on schooling the emotions, per-
fecting the intelligence, and giving it agree
ability and attractiveness. Not that she de-
spised the graceful accomplishments which
lend their charm to society, but she placed
above all else the proper culture of the in
tellect.
Many people sneer at ''strong- minded,
woman. But it is rarely culture in itself
that gives rise to this criticism. 1t is some
disagreeable display of it. Woman may be
as agreeably 'strong-minded" as they please
without causing dislike. With men robust
ness and force often win the day; with
women the art of pleasing is the strong
weapon. And we would go one step further
than the maxims of the brilliant French
women. When girls study to be agreeable,
and helpful as well, their education has a
perfect aim. Nothing is more unbecoming
to girls than indifference to knowledge, or
lack of curiosity regarding what is useful
There is an art of pleasing which soon
ceases to charm; but it is useful, helpful,
pleasing which makes one ''lovable COM
pany'' for lifetime.
