The New York Herald recently sent
queries to the Governors Of the several
States as to their choice for Democratic
nominee for President. Gov. Adams Of
this State answered as follows: "The
nomination OF the old ticket Of 1876,
Tilden and Hendricks, would command
the enthusiastic support Of every Democrat
IN this State. Tilden was our decided
choice for President in 1876 and again in
1880, and my firm belief so long as be lives
and our people love liberty, and revere free
institutions and detest the infamous fraud
by which their free and lawful choice was
defeated in 1876, they will continue to urge
bis acceptance Of the Office. Thurman is
the second choice"

MARY MUkPHY.
A Little Romance OF Nevada and
california.

OahtfOFnta.
Twenty-Five or thirty years ago, writes q
correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
at Marysyille, CAL, which was then an
established yet shanty-like town, lived
Judge Stephen Field, and in his law Office
was a young fellow named George Gorham,
who boarded with a plain family, and at
the table another gu est was a lorid, Welsh
looking stranger. In the same house, or
the next house, lived IN Irishman named
murphy, who had q bright, interesting
daughter, but he was fond of padding her
when anything went wrong with him. This
padding had been going on some time,
and one day the boarders held an indigna-
ton meeting, and resolved to go next door
and see old Murphy, and tell him that if
be did not stop correcting that child on
every and all occasions they would take
him down to the stream and duck him,
etc. None of the guests were especially
brave, but they put on q very brave front,
and held the indignation meeting. Sew
eral years afterwards nj Of these parties,
Field, was called to be Justice of the Su-
preme Court. Still later by several years
the Republicans in California NOM
mated Gorham for Governor. and
they put on the ticket with him
the present United States Senator
Jones. When Jones met Gorham, he said:
care you the little fellow from Long Isl
and who boarded at Marysville with me?
Don't you know me? 2" .No, / don't think
l do" "Why I'm Jones, the Welsh-look-
ing fellow who formed one of the posse to
go in and make old Murphy stop keeping
that child screaming" They shook hands
warmly and then Jones said: ''Gorham,
do you know what has become of that Mary
Murphy ?" ''No." "Why, she is now Mrs.
William Sharon"
My informant says that consequently
there met at Washington City, Jones and
Sharon in the United States Senate, Cor
ham, Secretary Of the Senate, and Field on
the SupremeeB ench-sll brought out Of
that boarding-house. Mary Murphy grew
up to be an interesting woman, and the
padding was only temporarily disadvan-

indeed, as he is now running the saloon in
the Baldwin Hotel, and the spirits behind
the bar are noted for their goodness. The
place is crowded night and day, and when
a Virginia City man visits San Francisco,
and begins to feel lonesome or homesick,
all he has to do is to walk into the elegant
billiard psrlors or saloon of the Baldwin,

fancy himself back again on the blooming

There are IL men at work in the Eureka
Tunnel, eight men, including the foreman,
Mr.. Maxwell. employed regularly, and
four men on contract sinking the working
shaft from the 200 to the 800 level below

going down with the shaft. The old slopes
are being worked and some ore extracted.
The property is in good trim for prospect

of a strike before long. The Eureka Tun-

C~hiIdren's Hearing.

DR.. Gelle of Paris has found that 20 to rs
per cent of children hear only within a
limited range. A practical result of this
discovery is that children are now placed
at such a distance from the teachers desk
as will correspond with their strength OF
hearing. The matter does not appear to
have been thought of before, but its OBJ
vious Importance is now likely to attract
attention from our teachers. In this coun-
try, however, we hear no complaint of lack
of hearing in the children. They generally
hear more than enough.

Somebody in New Hampshire, while

communicates was the maiden name Miss
Sarah Walker of Mrs. Benjamin Thomp-

site the name, in print, was the word
"excommunicated, and now the kindred
of Mrs. Thompson are up in arms about
the aspersion cast upon her standing in the
Church, and nave announced their inten-

SOONSIN,

In regard to Wisconsin, leading
Germans OF that State are offering TO
bet q thousand dollars each that 1t
will 90 for Cleveland. No one has
yet accepted the challenge. But
while this. proves nothing. recent adj
vices from the State gives strong
ground for confidence that Cleveland
will carry the State. The change
among the Germans is remarkable,
but that among the Scandinavians,
who are equal to the Germans in
numbers, is just az great. Wisconsin
has been a Republican State since
1856. In 1876, it gave only 5,205
majority for Hayes. In 1880, it gave
about 2l, COO for Garfield. Two years
ago, at the election for members of
Congress, the Republican loss from
the vote of 1880 was 53,826, while the
Democratic loss was but 12,491.
That was an off year, but the wide
spread disaffection in the Republi-
can foreign vote at the present time
indicates a greater loss to the Repub-
licans this year, aud points unmis-
takably to the defeat of Blaine In
that State.

OHIO.

Governor Hoadly has returned to
his Ohio home from a short visit east
and will take an active part in the
campaign in that state. He is so
confident that Ohio will go Demo
cratic that he talks about 5000 ma
jerity for the -state ticket in October.
If it should be carried by 1000 ma
jority it would insure a certain and
sweeping victory in November for
Cleveland and Hendricks. A lead
ing and influential Democrat OF that
state says that after thirty-ive years
of active participation in Ohio poll
tics he firmly believes that Governor
Hoadley's majority will be held, and
that the state will 60 Democratic.
1t may not be easy to credit the
claims of such men for Ohio, which
we are disposed to concede as a repub-
lican state, but it is still more diff
cult to be able to see from the vote
for Hoadly a year ago, which gave
him a majority of 1900, and espe-
cially from an analysis of that vote
why these claims to Ohio by demo-
Gratis are 20 very wild. Ohio is
claimed by the Republicans by 15,-
700 majority this year, however, and
the result can only be known after
the votes are counted; but one thing
is certain beyond debate or dispute,
if the republicans are to carry the
state at all it will be after one of the
hardest struggles in its history.

plOyment. The arsenal cost 42,OOO,-
600 francs and the arms and ammu-
milton destroyed are valued at 14O,-

BERLIN, Aug. 25.-It is rumored
that China and France are inclined
to request German mediation and
that Baron Courcel, the French am
bassador, has been instructed to
sound Bismarck on the subject.
LONDON, Aug. 25. -Semi-oficial adj
vices from China report that during
the bombardment of Foo Chow, a
French officer of high rank was killed.
Only three Chinese gunboats were
destroyed.
A Foo Chow dispatch of yesterday
says that during the engagement, one
of the French ironclads was struck
and badly damaged; she will repair
during the night. The French will
recommence firing at 3 tomorrow
morning.
A Times Hong Kong dispatch says
the Chinese, who are wholly UMPIRE
pared for war, denounce the NAL
practice of the provincial governors,
and will hold them answerable for
any cOllapses in the national defences.

A MARES NEST.

The New York Sun, which has
recently been engaged in hunting
material with which to :nJure Cleve-
land, processes tohave found q mares
nest in Louisiana. Itsays: arrange
ments are perfected by which the
State will be declared for Cleveland
by 10000 majority, even if not a
a single ballot box is opened or vote
cast" What q discovery! What
fools those Louisiana Democrats are
to let the cat out of the bag thus early
in the campaign! They should have
taken a lesson from the old returning
board of 1875 and waited until after
the election In November to declare
their majority. And then, think of
the majority-just 10000. There they
made another mistake. Six thousand
would answer as well as 6O,0OO.
Those Democrats are too greedy as
we'll as too talkative. But then the
Suns mares nest would look small
with only 5000 little eggs in it. That
paper evidently believes in telling q
"whopper" when it is in the business
of lying. Are there six men in the
country fools enough to believe the
canard?

Union Pacific system, are not Who'll

denies the Union Pacific part of the
story, but quite naturally says moth
ing as to his relations with the
Northern Pacific company. The
fact, is, however, for some months
past it has been the pretty generally
accepted belief among well posted
railroad men in this vicinity that
President Harris contemplated some
considerable changes in the manage

VIRGINIA,

Blaine managers are making siren
uous efforts to unite the Straightouts
and Regulators of Virginia IN sup
port of their chief. Malone stands
in the way of the fusion and from
present appearances, he is a stumb-
ling block to the scheme not easily
disposed of. He has IN electoral
ticket, so runs the dispatches, COM
posed of eleven Democrats (?) and
one Republican, and will not yield
places for a larger Straightout repre-
%sentation on his ticket. As Malone
Is a very warm friend of President
Arthur, and worked hard for his
nomination at Chicago, and As he
bears no love for Mr.. Blaine, very
extraordinary inducements must be
held out to the great Repudiator to
enlist his services in behalf OF the
Maine candidate. A complete fusion
of Virginia Straightouts and Repu>
diators is hardly possible this year.
Even should it be effected the State
is safe for Cleveland.

n WILLARD.

Mr.. Henry Willard, ex-Railway
magistrate, ex-spike driver, ex- Pres
ident of the Northern Pacific, sailed
away, from America recently with
bis family, and it is understood he
will make his future abode in Berlin.
This is evident that MI. Willard
either saved enough cut of the late
collapse to live comfortably for the
remainder of his life, or that he is
lacking in the grit that true specula-
tors are made of. Here is the place
for men to retrieve lost fortunes.
Europe holds out no inducement to
men with broad, Napoleonic capac-
tiles in the realms of finance. Mr..
Willard ia young, and he has great
executive abilities. We infer from
his abandonment of the golden fields
of promise and opportunity, that he
has enough.

Ben Butter is credited with saying
if the Democrats would withdraw
Cleveland and put Thurman in his
place he himself would withdraw.
That yarn is thinner than poor house
soup. Butler, according to his own
statement, entered into this cam
paign for the sole purpose of organ
izing and crystalizing a new party
for 1884. Ben Butler has his eye on
the presidency, and proposes, if
possible to smash both the leading
political organizations in his attempt
to capture the prize. Ben is playing
the ,0le of the bull in the China
shop, and neither Thurman nor any
other man can call him off from his
little play.
