The Attack Upon Kelly.

"Carp," the correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader, gives the follow
ing account of Gen. Bragg's on
slaugh upon Kelly and Tammany Y
in the recent convention. Says the
correspondent: AS he opened the
attack with his first sentence, in
which he said he ''liked Cleveland
best because Tammany was his enc
N.Y." Gen. Bragg's eyes looked
like those of tiger, and he turned
his head towards John Kelly with
a whitening look. AS he closed it,
a thick-set young man rushed from
the New York delegation and in an
instant stood below Bragg on the
floor, his arm raised as though his
hand held a dagger, and every fea-
ture glowing with passion. 1t was
com Grady. In short, crisp words
he hurled Bragg's defiance back in
to his teeth, and then turning
walked slowly back to his stand
near Kelly. 1 watched him as
Bragg went on relentlessly stabbing
him and his Tammany friends. Ev-
cry feature of his face blazed with
defiance. His heavy jaws were
tightly closed, and L thought 1
could hear his cruel, strong, white
teeth gritting together. Kelly in
front of him was as placid as a
mill pond. He sat like statue,
his cold blue eyes looking straight
into Bragg's flashing orbs, and not
a muscle of his face moving. His
orator, Mr.. Cochran, sat beside
him. He, like Grady, was angry,
and the lines of brutality in his
dark, greasy-looking face appeared
more prominent than ever. Grady
will certainly carry out his threat
against Cleveland at the polls, and
after Bragg's action of to-day, L
doubt not that Kelly will support
him. The Cleveland men applaud
ed Bragg's speech to the echo,
and as they did so John Kelly
looked calmly over them. I doubt
not he damned them in his heart as
he did so,

Brethren of the ministry and
laity, this round will close the book
for the conference year so swiftly
passing away. While we should
pray for the descent of the Holy
Ghost and a rich harvest of souls,
we should also remember that much
remains for US to do in order to the
fulfillment of our baptismal and
ordination, vows. Let each one of
us feel our possibility, and the
work will come up. Study the
question nor to be answered then,
and we will have faithful work and
fair reports. Many boards of trus-
tees have never organized-have no
chairman or secretary. Their work
is guess work. Titles to church
properly have been neglected or i'm
perfectly made. Let US regulate all
these on this closing round. Coliec
tions have been neglected or de-
ferred on account of untoward cir
cumstances. What we do must be
done quickly. Preachers have been
promised a support, and have
promised that support to those who
have supplied the wants of them
selves and families during the year.
Who must suffer- He who servesf
Let the church take its pastor upon
its conscience. Then every record
ing steward will send up a report
that will honor Gods cause and the
work they represent.

The Pest of Flies

An Iowa lady writes to an ex-
change: "For three years 1 have
lived in town, and during that time
my sitting room has been free from
flies, while all my neighbors' rooms
have been crowded. l often con-
gratulate myself on my escape, but
never knew the reason of it until a
few days ago. then had occasion
to remove my goods to another
house, while [ remained on for a
few days longer. Among the other
things removed were the boxes of
geraniums and colarias, which stood
in my window, being open to the
fullest extent, top and bottom. The
boxes had not been gone half an
hour when the room was as full of
flies as those of my neignbors
around me. This, to me, was new
discovery, and perhaps it may
serve to encourage others in that
which is always source of pleas
ure, namely, window gardening.
Mignonette il planted in long shall
low boxes and placed in the window
will be found excellent for this pur-
pose.

in the democratic party, and they

They generally blunder, however, in
opposite directions. Carter and
VOORHEES, are agreed that a tariff
for revenue only would be the ruin
of the democratic party and of the
country, while Watterson is the
special proprietor of the little word
"only," which Randall says is not
going to annoy the democratic par
ty any more. How would this
from VOORHEES,, for instance, do for
plank from the committee on res
olutions: "Why, the COW and the
goose are the greatest fools in the
world, except the man who thinks
that a tariff can be laid without
protection" Here is a good civil
service plank for the committee on
resolutions: eff the democrats sue
ceed, public affairs should be ad-
ministered by democrats, and dem
ocrats ought to do the necessary
clerical work" This is very sue
cessful euphonism for that old dem
ocratic cry of ''to the victors belong
the spoils," and is, perhaps, less of
fensive. VOORHEES, is one of the
most generous men, when party
duty makes it possible for him to
lay aside partisanship, and there is
no man in the senate in either par
ty who is more esteemed. Wher

voice, and a pressure in his hand
which were full Of love for his tel-
low beings. His manners were ar
dent and demonstrating with those
to whom he was attached, and he
filed the private circle with sun
light and magnetic currents. He
had the joyous spirits Of boyhood
and the robust intellectually of
manhood more perfectly combined
than any other l ever knew. Such
a character was necessarily almost
with those who knew
him personally, and it accounts for
that undying hold which, under all

Loran at Bull Run.

1t is well known that John A.
Logan, who was a member of con
gress at the time the war began, left
Washington when he saw there was
going to be a fight, and seizing q
musket, walked over the way to
Bull Run, where he arrived just in
time to take part in the battle. He
had on a swallow tail coat, but he
stood up to the rack as long as any
body did. He was back in Wash
ington the next morning a good
deal out of breath and was telling
some of his fellow congressman all
about it.
"Who gave you this account of
the fght?" asked 2 member from
the north woods of New York.
"Why, was there myself" said
Logan.
The New Yorker evidently had
not heard the news, for he seemed a
little mystified and asked as if wish
ing to solve the mystery of Logan's
speedy appearance: "Are the cars
running?'

A Biz Steal

When Senator Vest was taken to
task for saying that the government
had expended $3S5,000,000 on the
navy since the war, he retorted by
saying: II have not said or pre-
tended to say that dollar even OF
the $3S5, 100000 went to the con-
struction of a navy. l arraign the
republican party to-day because, as
the senator from Maine, their expo

spent $I40,000,00O in paying OF
fcers when they did not have any
ships. This town to-day is flooded
with naval officers who have not a
ship to go to, and have not had for
twenty years. The whole service is
composed of barnacles-gallant
men, brave men, SCARED marine
veterans, but what use are they to
the country? They are marine or
naments around the corners of
Washington, all that is the fault
with the republican party. Since

have spent $595,000,O0O, and when

When Shakespeare spoke of "tri-
fes light as air. he did not refer to
the bonnets worn by many bonny
maidens of the period. In his day
ladies' head gear was more substan-
tial than at present, although con-
structed with the same end in view,
namely, show. According to q
cynical chronicler of the fashions,
the latest importation from Paris is
a beautiful bonnet composed Of a
cherry colored ribbon, an oat straw
and a violet. The lady for whom
It is intended is probably a woman
who weighs at least two hundred
pounds, and whose face is like a full
moon. 1t is a well known fact, dai-
ly demonstrated, that the larger the
lady the smaller the hat. Per con
ira, the smaller the bonnet the
greater the price. Studen@ of do
mestic economy have discovered
that the day is not far distant when
the average bonnet will consist
simply of a postage stamp and a
horse hair. The price will be gov.
erned by the size of the stamp and
the value of the animal from which

600 miles, has cost something like
$50O,000,0O0 and nearly four-fifths
Of that amoant has been expended
on the locomotives. There are es
timated to be $4,000 railroad en-
gines now in use, and they cost not

In his speech at Lawrenceburg
Maj. W. J. Sykes placed the iron ore
of Lawrence county at l87, 1854, 900
tons. This is perhaps considerably
less than the real amount, but even
this would yield 93,6S2,000 tons of
pig iron. Its value at SIS per ton
which it would readily bring, as it
is made of such valuable ore, max
ing a total valuation of $1,405, $780,

strange that Lawrence county
should be opposed to letting in
coal, iron ore and timber free and
levying high duties on all other ar
ticles.

Council which governs the Holy Noun
tain. There is indeen Turkish COVER
nor, but he aud his three Turkish zap
tiehs are only the symbol of supremacy.
As the governor must conform TO the
rule of the place, and have no female
member of his family there, 1T may be
imagined that the office is not much
sought after. On presenting the Pa.
triarch's letter TO the Council, 1 was at
once informed that should be furnished
with circular letter addressed to each
monastery, gnd that everythingl wished
to see would be open to me, Before
leaving the Council / was requested to
sign my name in the vistor's book. A
French writer who has recently visited
the mountain mentions that he only
found seven Frenchmen's names as Wis
itors during the last sixteen years. 1
was curious to find whether more Eng
lishmen had been there, and turned
over the pages with the resultsof find
ing that about the same number had
inscribed their names there during the
last ten years. / subsequently found
that not more than three had been able
to do more than visit Karyes and two
or three of the monasteres. Chance
visitors from yachts to one or two OF
the monasteries on the coast would,
however, slightly increase the num-
Der.
A visit to one monastery gives very
fair idea of the arrangements of all.
Nearly all. were constructed at times
when it was necessary to be ready TO
resist pirates. Greeks and Venetians,
Arabs and Genoese, have attacked the
Businesses of the mountain with more
or less success. Each one, therefore,
resembles Middle Age fortress. The
walls are high; there is but one en-.
trance, which could always be well de.
Tended; and many of the dwelling
places are built on the top of the lofty
walls. As space must always have beer
an object, the houses Of wood project
over the walls. There is no reason Il
doubt that the appearance of the mon
asteries is very much what it was six o.
seven hundred years ago; and the
painter in search Of picturesque combi
nations of old buildings will go far
even if he succeed at all-before ht
: finds such curious corners, grouping
5 of towers, bouses, churches, campanileI
and projecting stones as he will in sucl
3 monasterles as Vatopedi. This particu
J lar one may be taken as type of thu
q rest. The fortress-like buildings, sur
Q mounted by wooden houses, form I
D striking object for miles around. Within
. the walls are msssed together among
3 quaint houses in artistic confusion an
0ient churches, refectory, library, watcl
I towers, and other buildings which til,

The great age to which the orange
tree lives and bears is an important
consideration for the colonist who
might, by little self-denial, and through
judicious first selection and expendi-
ture upon an orange grove, virtually
endow his posterity with an annually
increasing income. Risso mentions
that in the Convent of st. Sabina, at
Rome, there is an orange tree said to be
600 years old, and at Nice, 1879, there
was another which usually bore between
5000 and 5000 oranges its trunk took
two men to encircle it, its crown was
more than fifty feet from the ground,
and its age was lost in antiquity. Even
in England orange rearing, during q
considerable part Of the year in the
open AIR, has not been attended with
much difficulty, as witness the Bedding
ton orchard in Surrey, of which Bishop
Gibson, In his contributions to Cam
denis Britannia, says it "was one hun
bred years old in 1885," the Hampton
Court orange trees, some Of which arr
stated to be more than three hundred
years old; and various gardens in South
Devonshire, where, trained against thu
walls, and only protected with straw
mats during the winter are specimen
which have flourishcd for at least cen
tnry.
