The first republican convention held
in Chicago was that of 1860. when
Abraham Lincoln was nominated the
second in lS6s which nominated Gen.
Grant, and the third in I6S0 when
Gen. Garfield was nominated. The
present convention, containing 500
delegates, is the largest, in point OF
numbers, yet held, but it is claimed
that it contains fewer men of eminent
ability and influence, as well as fewer
men noted for parliamentary ability
and experience, than its predecessors.
Fifty-three of the "3O6'' of the 1850
convention are also members of the
present body.

severe black frost at Lockport, n. Y,
Wednesday night and garden truck
was badly hurt; it is thought that
fruit escaped serious injury. In Onta-
rio, Reading, and some parts of Penn
sylvania garden vegetables were dam
aged. At Lancaster, Pa, ice formed
a quarter of an inch thick, Wednes-
day night, and tobacco plants were
frozen hard.
Dispatches from Wisconsin, northern
Ohio, and many other portions of the
western and middle states, report
severe frosts, and that in many places,
small fruits, vegetables and grain are
ruined. In Milwaukee, Wis, clothes
were frozen stiff on the lines, and ice
formed three quarters of an inch thick
on mill ponds. At Springfield, Mass,
and in many of the adjacent towns,
all kinds of vegetables and corn suf-
fered severely, grape vines were cut
by the frost and turned black in the
sun, the ground was frozen an inch in
depth, and ice formed from half to
three quarters of an inch. Reports
from Connecticut, New Hampshire,
Vermont and Canada, give equally as
bad reports of snow, ice and frost,
causing serious injuries to crops and
vegetation of all kinds, in many in
stances the crops being entirely de-
stroyed, necessitating replanting, which
has already commenced. The damage
in New Haven, Conn, and vicinity is
estimated at over 100000. LIS

The spinner's strike at Fall River,
Mass, has ended after holding out 10
weeks, during which the strikers have
spent from $1,000 to Sl5,OO0 of their
own money, the accumulation ofyears
mt least $4,000 more contributed 10y
sympathizers, besides losing over
100000 in wages. Business in the
city has received severe blow, as
much of the loss of wages by this en-
forced idleness falls directly upon the

The False Prophet, Mahomet Ach-
met, was born in the province OF Don
COLA and was educated at khartoum
and Berber. After long period OF re-
tirement he emerged from a cave IN
Abba Island in the White Nile, and
proclaimed himself to be hneal de-
scendant of the Prophet, and as the
Mahdi to be destined to unite Islam
against Christendom. At first refused
in the province of SEMINAR, he subse-
auently defeated Youssef, the governor
of Fashods, and captured Bara and
Obeid. General Hicks army, sent out
during 1883 to retrieve this disaster
was massacred. The Mahdi's success
is due far less to religious fanaticlsm
than to those powerful chieftains who
have taken up his cause as a convenient
tool to emancipate themselves from the
hated Egyptian Governments control
and gain their old chances OF money
