from the Philadelphia Press and Pitts

subject of the election Of delegates to

of the matter shows some conflict be-

The National Convention.

Pho announcement that Senator
Cooper, Chairman of the Republican
State Executive Committee, has called
a meeting of that body, TO be held at
Philadelphia on the 23d instant. for the
purpose Of fixing the time and place for
the assembling of the State Convention,
will attract general attention TO the
very important matter Of the selection
of delegates to the National Republican
Convention.
Under the regulation adopted by the
National Gommittee the State Conven-
tons cannot be held before april !, or
sixty days prior TO the meeting OF the
National Convention. There are two
exceptions to this rule, Louisiana and
Oregon being permitted to select their
delegates ninety days in advance.
Under the rule adopted by the State
Committee the Pennsylvania delegates
cannot be chosen before May 3, or
thirty days previous to the assembling
at Chicago, aud. Of course, the State
Convention will not he called TO meet
earlier than the second week in Nav.
The State conventions have only to
choose four -at-large-except
in this State, where two additional del.
egates will have to be elected-but,
under the rule, the Republicans of the
various Congressional districts have
tho option of Collecting their delegates
at separate popular delegate Gonven-
tions, ut any time within fifteen davs
prior to the State Convention, or by
subdivisions OF the State Convention
into district conventions. 1t is ex-
pressly provided that if the district
voters fail to elect. the State Conven-
tion shall choose the delegates by sub
DIVISIONS, as above indicated.
District representation is now within
the reach of all KepubdcGpg. and all
should avail themselves of its. advah-
tages Where the districts are com
posed of more than one county the
conferee system will have to be resort
ed TO, Gnt come Inconvenience will be
experienced In dislIicig Where special
regulations have been adopted tor th~
holding of conventions and the selection
of delegates There can be no absolute
failure however, since the State Con-
ventioI lil, supply any omissions oc-
curing in the diatriois. IT 10 not too
soon for County Committees to take up
this matter and arrange the necessary

SENATOR VOORHEES, has resurrected
the old vetoed equslization-ofbountie
bill, which, during Grants last term.
passed both Houses of Congress, but
snagged in the White House The OBJ
lection then raised was lack Of funds;
this difficulty, Mr.. Voorhees, observes,
no longer exists. On the contrary, the
great object now seems to be to get rid
of the superabundauce Of cash on hand,
and the "Tall Sycamore" offers this as
his plan in the premises.

HOW HE CAUGHT A COLD.
Dandled on Hendricks Knee and
Sleeping in Cellar.
Nashville World.

Nashville World.
A well known gentleman of this city,
who was raised in Indiana, boasts of
the fact that his father lived a neigh
Dor to the Vice President elect, Thos.
A. Hendricks, and that in his infancy
while the paternal home was SO near
Mr.. Hendricks, he often had the honor
of being handled OIL that gentleman's
knee. Notwithstanding this fact, and
further that his father and brothers are
all of the Democratic fold, he is the
black sheep of the family, and is or
rather was, a Republican. Fortunate>
ly for him his better nine.tenths, a
lovely little lady, is a staunch Demo-
Graf, and holds him down to the point
where Democrats admire him, not>
withstanding his Republican proclivi-
ties. Last Saturday as the shades of
evening were falling he wendell his
way homeward, weary and blue, wish>
ing he had not politically strayed from
the paternal fold, and had retained the
Democratic principles absorbed from
MIR. Hendricks. On nearing home he
was surprised to find his premises bril-,
liantly and taStefully illuminated and
decorated, and was met by the little
lady with the expression, Don't you
think it looks splendid ?" while her
countenence was wreathed with brill
liant and happy smile.
"No, don't" said he. "What in
the thunder did you do it for?"
because we Democrats won," she
replied, and then added, "Now, dear,
if it is too provoking, you can go in
the back room and I'll make it real
dark for you, or if that don't suit you
can 60 into the coal cellar" He only
muttered suppressed "confound it,"
passed back into the rear and was seen
no more until morning. Since then he
has had an lawful" cold. can scarcely
talk above whisper, and when his
friends say, "now really, M. M, did
you pass the night in the coal cellar? p

"Confound it, no" but nevertheless it

Wintering Plants in Cellars.
STOCKMAN.

Many plants, such as agaves (centu
ny plants), oleanders, large cactuses,
&C., that have grown too large, to be
accommodated in the sitting.room or
conservatory, can be successfully win>
tered in any moderately dry, FROST
proof cellar. After placing these large
plants in the cellar, it will not be nec-
essary to give them any water, the obs
ject being to keep them dormant all
winter, which can be done by keeping
the soil as dry as possible, but not so
dry as to allow the plants to shrivel,
or become withered. Large plants of
the kinds mentioned, often form de.
sirable ornaments during the summer
time. 1t is impracticable, in most
cases, to bring them into the house, in
winter, but they can be kept for years
by cellaring through the winter as
stated. Large geranium, SALIVA, and
heliotrope roots, and even tea roses,
and carnations, can be kept moderate
ly well in the cellar by trenching them
in dry, or moderately moist sand.
Thus many choice specimens of these
plants that we are 10th to pull up and
throw away when winter approaches,
can be successfully kept over until the

next season. 1t is needless expense
to purchase stock of new plants for
the garden every year, when we can
winter many of the old ones IN this
simple and inexpensive manner. The
leaves of all deciduous plants should
be removed before they are put away
in this manner. The foliage should
remain on the oleanders and carnations
through the winter. American Agri-
culturist.

LANGTRY,S OLD HOME.
The Island Where Pretty Women Are
Everywhere Seen.

The Channel Islands. and particularly Jersey.
says letter from St. Helier's to the New York
Tribune, possesses much of interest for the
stranger, but the browning glory of Jersey is
the beauty of her women For general comli-
ness they would readily be awarded prize
in any competition of feminine grace. Rare,
creamy compilations that would put the bloom
on the peach to blush, figures made graceful
and sinewy by bodily toll. with rather strongly
cut features. eyes like sloes and lustrous dark
hair, the girls met on the streets OF St. Heliers
seem. to the stranger the personiication of
womanly independence, beauty and maidenly
reserve. The soft white mists that wrap the
Island every night from shutdown to sunrise
give them their carnaton cheeks The toll
that brings with it the active. healthy body is
due to causes which will enlist on the side of
these women the sympathies of true manhood.
IL Is because OF the woful dearth of men in
Jersey that the women do all the work. Where
you meet one man in these tortuOus streets
OF ST Heers you meet ten women. Out
among the green farms this dsproportion of
the sexes is even more painfully apparent.
The heavy. ungainy carts on the country roads
are. almost without exception, driven by
women. and handsome women, too. Groups Of
cherry-cheeked girls may be seen In the wayside
orchards, some picking apples from the trees,
others Straining at the rude cider presses. The
little fields, with their luXuriant growth of tur-
nips. cabbages and rutabagaS are all tended by
women. while the blooming flowers in the house
yards show In their rich variety the evidence of
woman's care and attention. None but women
are to be seen in the big public market of st.
Heller s-women buying and women selling.
What men you see are either too young or too
Old and decrepit-bOys who have not started
