Our Candidates.

News from all parts of our great
country brings the "glad tidings ofjoy'
over the nomination of Blaine and
Logan tor president and vice-president
Everywhere the enthusiasm is intense,
with the exception perhaps of some Of
the so-called boilers in New York, who
have decided to not vote the republi.
can ticket simply because they did
not get their man to the front. But
aside from these parties the rank and
file of the republican party are well
satisfied over the result, and are flock.
ing around the standard bearers with
the old time enthusiasm. Every re.
publican should lay aside all prejudic-
es and support the nominees. The
majority have said, and the minority
should yield smllingly.

Something for Smokers.

1t is remarkable what difference
these tlavoring extracts make with Il
cigar. Ii you take cigar which ordi-
narlly would retail ut two for five cents,
and be dear even at that price, and dose
1t up until II eXhalCs fragrant perfume,
it becomes transmogritied in the eyes of
the unsuspecting buyer. and he willing
~ pays ten cents for it and goes into all
the ecstacies enjoyed by a smoker who
has found good weed. Imagination
has big 50 effect in the cigar business,
rs you can readily see. There are
good many dealers who claim to be
selling a scent cigar with a pure Hay-
ana filler. You can take it for granted
that they are putting it on the eve of II
conntiding public. Cigar manufacture
ers do not make cigars for glory alone,
but rather work on Il strictly business
basis, and expect in return for the goods
the coin of the realm Now, it is an
lmposslbility. as every one acquainted
with the tobacco trade will at once re-
cognize, to sell cigars with pure Hav-
ana fliler ut any profit at all for five
cents apiece There are about six diff
tercnt kinds Of tlavors used to my own
knowledge, although other dealers have
their own receipts. (Here the dealer
gave the reporter several small bottles,
which when opened, emitted strong
aroma very similar to Havana tobacco.
Now, if cigar is made of poor quail
ity Of tobacco and perfumed with any
one OF these favors it becomes another
cigar in the eyes of the common run Of
smokers and it will readily sell for five
or ten cents, which leaves a big profit

Regularity of Habit.

The Philadelphia call says: One
of the most difficult of all the
minor habits to acquire is that of regu
larity. 1t ranks with that of order
"A place for everything and every
thing in its place is not more import
ant than "a time for all things and
everything on time" The natural in
clInation Of most persons is to defer I'M
til the last possible moment or to put
off till another time where this can pos
sibly be done. Yet habits of regularity
contribute largely to the ease and com
fort of life. A person can multiply bis
efficiency by 1t. We know persons who
have multitude of duties, and who
perform vast amount of work daily
who set apart certain hours for giver
duties, and are there at the moment
and attend rigidly to what is in hand.
This done and other engagements are
met, each in order, and vast deal ac.
complished, not by strained exertion
but by regularity
The mind can be SO trained to this
that at certain hours in the day it will
turn TO "a particular line of duty, and at
other hours to other and different la
bors. The very diversity is restfu.
when attended to in regular order. But
let these be run together, and the duties
mixed, and what before was easy
is now annoying and oppressive. And
the exact difference between many is
just at this point. There are those who
confuse and rush and attempt to do
several things at once and accomplish
little, while another will quietly pro-
coed from one duty to another, and
easily accomplish vast amount of
work. The difference is not in the ca
pacity of the two, but in the regular
methods of the one, as compared with
the irregular and confused habits of the
other.

Worse Than MOrm0nism.

"But it is so. His name is Mayes, and
he marries new woman every few

That noble old Roman, Governor
Dick Oglesby,o of Illinois, was in Chicago
during The convention and of course his
friends would not be satisfied with any,
thing short of full fledged speech.
So large concourse of people gathered
in the Convention hall Wednesday even
ing and the Governor addressed them in
his usual eloquent stain. He loosely
informed his hearers that the most in
teresting part of Blaine's history was
the page in which his name is men,
toned. The statement is made on page
16S that the State Convention of 1860,
which met at Decatur and named Lin
coin as Illinois choice for the Presiden-
cy, was surprise to the convention
that did it. 1.-The man" he adds. ''who
created the great outburst for Mr.. Lin
coin in that Illinois assemblage, who
interpreted the feelings of the delegates
TO themselves, was Richard j. Oglesby,
n speaker of force and eloquence, af-
forwards honorably prominent and pop
ular in military and civil life" Such
little compliments are relished by the
best of men.

President Folks Widow.

Right in the heart of Nashville stands
large, old-fashioned homestead of dull
red brick, its roof projecting over the
broad piazza, supported by great futed
pillars, and its general aspect conveying
an impression of severe statliness in
pleasing variance with the distorted,
would be-fashionable architecture in
the same neighborhood, writes a cores
pondent of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
A long lawn stretches in front of the
house, its pleasant green monotony is
unbroken save by plain and massive
tomb of white marble, which carries
its own best epitaph in the simple in
scription, James K Polk.
A ring at the bell brought to the door
a good-natured colored girl, who took
our cards to the venerable and venerat-
ed widow of President Polk.
A woman like Mrs Polk is a revela-
ton to the beauties of old age. Gentle
benevolence, broad-reaching charity,
ripe experience. and a cultivation of
mind that extends beyond letters to
mankind shine through her conversation
| and ready memory, keen, and with
store of "reminiscences to illuminate
it.
Sixty years ago, at the time of her
marriage, Mrs. Polk was considered
remarkable for her beauty and 90 years
after when she presided at the white
house it was so fresh and unimpaired
as to attract great admiration, and be
noted in the published works and pri-
vate journals of distinguished for
eigners.
Time, of course, has stolen the vivid
coloring and curved outlines of youth.
but he has not robbed her of the up
right figure and dignified carriage, and
has left brightness in her eyes, and vi
vacity in her voice, besides lending an
added charm in her faultless manners
Crowned with eighty years of honor she
rose TO receive us.
From the library of the dead presi-
dent she can gaze upon the tomb that
marks his resting-place, and in that
same library remains his hat, gloves,
and cane, just where he had laid them
when he came home for the last time. The
book he was reading lies open on the
table, and the papers of the day be-
side it.
In society, and fond of it, Mrs. Polk
has yet never accepted an invitation
since her husbands death, though with
graceful hospitality and tact she has
received ON the first day OF each year
the Tennessee legislature, which adj
journs in body to call upon her-and
which | am told is the highest compli-
ment ever paid by state authorizes to
a lady-and the civil, judicial, and &C.
clesiastical bodies make it q point to
pay their respects to her.

Cinders In the Eve.

A very simple and effective cure for
cinders in the eve is within the reach of
every one, and would prevent much sui,
fering and expense were it generally
known.
1t is simply one or two grains of fax
seed. These may be placed in the eye
without injury or pain to that delicate
organ, and shortly they begin to swell
and dissolve glntinous substance that
covers the ball of the eye. enveloping
any foreign substance that may be in it.
The irritation of cutting the membrane
is thus prevented, and the annoyance
may soon be washed out.
A dozen of these slowed away in the
vest-pocket may prove in an emergency
worth their number in gold.-Good
Cheer.

next November, whoever his opponent

next November, whoever his opponent
may be.
Mr.. Blaine's record as Representa-
tive, Speaker, Senator and Secretary
of State, needs no comment. If on
some questi ons it has been somewhat
aggressive - for instance on the Chi
nese question it will tend to
give him an unusually hearty support
in one section of the country without
materially weakening him in others,
and the universal enthusiasm his name
creates and the support he has received
for the nomination throughout the land
proves him TO be fit and competent
candidate for the Presidency. 1t is not
more than human that man with such
powerful following should also have
some bitter enemies who would seek to
injure and blacken the name of so for
midable candidate as be, but the very
serious charges that have been circulat-
ing against him for some weeks have
been answered by Mr.. Phelps, very
satisfactorily, but we think stronger
and more complete refutation is fur
nished in the large measure of conf
dence reposed in his integrity by men
of every class, from the millionaire to
the workingman.
Mr.. Arthur's administration has done
much to disabuse tho popular mind of
the fear of accidental Presidents, but
should the reins of Government fall on
Mr.. Logan, no one could doubt his
ability to safely pilot the ship of state
no matter how troublesome or turbu-
lent the waters might be. Able, digni-
fed and vigilant as Senator, as a SOL
der brave and fearless he never lost q
battle, and as Vice President would
bring to the Office ability, enriched by
a Legislative experience the presiding
officer of the Senate has seldom before
possessed, and in the campaign he will
arouse an enthusiasm among his old
comrades in arms, second only to that
inspired by the hero of Appomattox.
