Ohio and North Carolina may cry quits
on the color question. The former sent
ell white delegates to Chicago and black
alternates. The black Republicans OF
North Carolina sent all black delegates
and all white a~lternates. The coincidence
of contrasts, natural enough under the
circumstances, was the more remarkable
in that neither convention knew OF the
others action, for both were held on the
same day.

Amending the Lsrd's PRAYER.

Old Sam. Kalleton was doubtless
one of the most ardent legislators
known to the history of Arkansaw.
Every bill introduced by a we'll
dressed man he looked ON with sus-
picion, and never failed to suggest all
amendment. One morning, after a
nights carousal, he entered the legis-
lative hall just as the chaplain was
asking divine aid. The old man took
a chew of tobacco and listened atten-
lively until the chaplain closed his
petition with an effective recitation
of the Lords prayer.

North Dakota can Safely Challenge the
World for the Championship in
Raising Great Crops.

DICKINSON, D. T. Sept. 20, 1884.
A review of the weather for the
past season may interest your eastern
readers. May and the first five days
OF June We're rainless, yet deep, well
titled land, still held plenty of moist
ure an inch below the surface to car
! ry the crop in thrifty condition
much longer. Through June we had
an abundance of rain; copious show
ers in July, August, and this month.
"A singular feature is that the rains
are all thunder showers and nearly
all are in the evening and night and
this remarkable soil absorbs it so
quickly that an hour after the big
gest shower there is no mud and the
soil is in good order to work, and
with our abundant thunder showers
it is very seldom that anything is
struck by lighting. One case here,
where little or no damage was done,
is all / have heard of the past season
within one hundred miles and l
think that plowing has not been
stopped by rain twenty hours since
the lst of May. Last year there was
a narrow strip of country from Bel
field to Bismarck that suffered from
drouth, yet more from lack of thor
ough deep culture, as the latter pro.
duced some good crops. The year
previous there was plenty of rain but
no farming near this except by Mr..
Dickinson, who raised fine crops, and
the year before that there was a
great abundance of rain. The last
four summers is as far back as have
been able to get reliable information
from citizens here, but 1 have the
records of the United States signal
service kept for many years at the
military posts that show plenty of
rain through the growing season and
very little during the winter. The
late grass is now curing yet large
portion is still green. Early potatoes
and corn were ripe month ago and
late corn, planted the middle of June
and later, is now fit to cut while late
potato tops are still green, yet fit to
harvest. Turnips, ruta bagas and
beets are now OF mammoth size and
growing vigorously and this country
can challenge the world to produce
their equal and the same challenge
might safely be made for nearly all
crops. The season has been hot yet
the cooling wind always rises and
sets with the sun; both man and
beast can work comfortably in the
hottest weather. The nights get
cool after sundown, in June down as
low as 70a, July about the same and
the last half of August little lower.
The weather now is delightful, Il lit
tie hot during the day and the morn
ings growing cooler.

Dear Shad.
On Wabash's stormy banks I stand,
and cast wishful eye to Dakota S
fair and happy land. Well, Shad,
wish l could be with you now, as we
are so sick of this place and it's mud
and rain. 1t has been raining every
day this month until to-day and the
prospect for more is good. Our corn.
fields are mud and slush and the
weeds will soon take the crop if it
keeps on raining. All the communi.
ty is in a great fever to go to Dakota
now, and If you will keep OH writing
up the country, l think we will all
pull up stakes between now and this
time next year. Mr.. Jones, Mr..
Laughton and Alex will go to Noble
tomorrow and put their farms in the
hands of All agent for sale and if they
should meet with success, just look
out for lot of your old neighbors, as
we will be with you. l want you to
give me all the information about
Dakota you can possibly gather up.
Write of the population where you
are, the lay of the country, timber,
coal, the streams, railroads, game,
the Indians, and tell how many
whites they kill annually, the mar.
kets, roads, society, how to proceed
to enter land. how much worse off
a man would be there without any.
thing than here, etc, etc. Now take
time to write this up good and l will
circulate your communication among
all the folks, and we will have jolly,
good time some day when we get
really to start for the Northwest.

compelled to shovel to get a crust for his
children. He worked at this all last week,
and at Saturday night was brought home

ing he was dead. An investigation of

ing his children surrounded his couch and
sobbed ~piteously for bread.

1.-THE convention that nominated
General Taylor met in Philadelphia
June Z. 1913. The chairman was the
Hon. John Morchead, of North Caro-
lima. On the 10th of that month Gov
crnOr Morehead addressed General Tay.
lor a letter officially notifying him of
his nomination. The distraction into
which the Wing party was thrown by
General Taylor's nomination was not
made less in the ensuing thirty-five
days by the silence of General Taylor.
Governor MOrehead. in reply to inQui-
ries by leading WhiGs-uotably Mr..
Weed-said he had positively written
the general, and he knew Of no reason
why tue renly was not forthcoming.
General Taylor was such a crotchety
old fellow, and Wing leaders in general
knew so little of him personally, that it
was not thought best to stir him up on
the subject. Letters from the old SOL
Hers were appearing in different quar-
tiers, some of them not altogether salts
factory TO Wing leaders, but not a word
am from him about tie nomination.
1t began to look like an indignity. Mr..
Weed. to whom more than any other
man General Taylor owed his nominal
Il H., was desperate under the suspense.
Meetings were proposed, and one was
actually called in Albany, looking to the
reputation of the nomination. When
1t met, however, other counScls pre-
vailed, though the suspense continued.
On July 2lst the postmaster at Baton
Rouge, where General Taylor lived, adj
dressed the postmastcr-gcneral a letter,
saying that with the report for the cur
rent quarter from that office two bun
dies of letters were forwarded for the
dead letter office, they having been de-
cliicd on account of the non-payment
OF the postage by the senders. 1t was
in the ten-cent and temperament
time. OF the forty-eight letters thus
forwarded to the dead letter office. the
Baton Rouge postmaster said a n%raiori-
~ were addressed to General Taylor,
who Lad declined to pay the postage on
them and TAXI them out OF the office be-
cause his mai expenses had become
burdensome. The general had since be-
come aware that some of the letters
were oil Importance and asked for their
return. In due course the letters were
sent back to Baton Rouge. Among
them was Governor Morehead's letter
notifying General Taylor of the action
OF the Philadelphia Convention.
General Taylor's response was dated
July 10, a month and five days after the
letter of notification was written. Ii
had been in the itou Rogue postoffce
four weeks, afte: General Taylor refused
to pay the ten cents postage.
