Payne Beats Pendleton,

COLUMBUS, January 9.-The Demo
cratic caucus last night nominated
Hon. Henry B. Payne for United
States Senator on the first ballot.
Mr.. Payne, who is a leading citizen
Of Cleveland, is about 20 years old,
and was the Democratic candidate
for Governor Of Ohio in 1857, but
was defeated by Salmon ?. Chase.
In 1857 and '5S he joined Douglas
in Stumping Ohio in opposition to
the Lecompton Constitution. and
supported Douglas in the Democrat
ic National Convention in 1860.
During the war he was an advanced
war Democrat. In 1874 he was
elected to congress in a republican
district. He was member of the
famous Electoral Commission, and
ofcourSe supported Tiden. In 1880
prior to the meeting of the Democrat
ic National Convention, he was re
garded as Tilden's candidate for the
Presidency. His nomination will
weaken the democratic party in the
next campaign, owing to his unpop
ularity among the workingmen, and
to his representing as lawyer, un-
popular corporations.
The ballot stood Payne, As ;
Pendleton 10 Ward, Il; II. J. Booth
of Columbus, ; George w. Geddes,
|.
Mr.. Pendleton tries to take his
defeat philosophically.

A Choir Anecdote.

Rev. Charles S. Robinson tells this
story in the Century: 'sGlorious Easter
was at hand, and great preparations were
made in the rural parish for its celebra-
ton; boughs were twined in the arches
of the building; flowers swung in
wreaths overhead and shone in beautiful
baskets among the aisles; children had
been rehersing carols. All the town came
in on that noble morning. 1t was scene
never to be forgotten. The minister was
radiant; his eye beamed with delight.
But a thought struck him: this audience,
SO happy. SO generous, 50 enthusiastic
would they not hear him moment for a
stroke Of business2 A fter the invocation
and the first song he surprised them with
a proposition to bring Easter offerings
now at once to Gods altar, and lift the
dear old church out of debt; oh, then
there would be resurrection The con
gregation would come up from under its
great stone into new life, if they
would roll it away! Then the plates
went their course, and hearts
were touched and purses were
emptied, and the heaps Of money lay be-
fore the moistened eyes of the relieved
pastor as he tremulously thanked a good
God for his peoples fidelity in response.
The Lord is here, am sure it is he
exclaimed. IF there be littls in ar
rears, it can be made up in a day, and
now we are ready heartily to go on with
the worship of our risen Lord So the
fixed programme proceeded. A little
German had been procured from the
metropolis for an annex to the tenor; his
solo came in at this exact crisis Of CRATE
full emotion; be rendered it with fresh
aplomb, though the consonants were
awkward: AM de det sail be raised
det sail be raised-an' de det-an' de det
sail be raised-sall be raised-in de
twinkling of an ay-eep
''Now it is quite safe to say that after
the congregation went home, the theme
of the day was dissipated, and the two
events uppermost in eyerybody's mind
was the surprise which the eager minis
ter had sprung upon the people, and the
ridiculous appropriateness Of the de
clamatory solo which followed it. On
general principles, we have no objection
to the collection Of money to discharge
religious obligation, even in divine. ser
vice; but it does seem pity that hu-
morous episode should be the chief rem
iniscence of such a solemn OCCASION
Century.

Analinu in India.

During the middle and about the end
of the rains is the best time for fishing in
India; the whole country is then per
feet network Of streams Every rice
field is shallow lake, with countless
thousands Of tiny fish darting here and
there among the rice-stalks. Every ditch
teens with fish, and every hollow in
every field is a welI-stocked aquarium
The natives are fond of fishing, and
besides angling in a primitive way with
bamboo rods and rough lines, they use
nets of all sizes and descriptions to
snare the fish. As the waters recede
during October, after the rains have
ended, each runlet and pearling stream
becomes scene of SLAUGHTER
on most reckless and improvi-
dent scale. The nnumerable
shoals of spawn and small fish that have
been feeding in the rice fields, warned
by some instinct, seek the lakes and main
streams. As they try to get their way
back, however, they find at each outlet
in each ditch and field deadly wicker
trap, in the shape Of square basket
with V-shaped opening leading into it,
through which the stream makes its way.
After entering this basket there is no
egress except through the narrow open
ing, and they are trapped thus in count
less thousands. Others OF the natives in
mere wantonness put shelf of reeds or
rushes in the bed of the stream, with an
upward slope As the water rushes
along, the little fish are left high and dry
on this shelf or screen, and the water
runs off below. In this way scarcely
fish escapes, and as millions are too
small t5 be eaten, it is most serious
waste
In some parts most ingenious method
of catching fish in shallow streams is
adopted by the mulIahs, or fisherman
caste. A gang of four or FIVE enter the
stream and travel slowly downward,
stirring up the mud at the bottom with
their feet. The fish, ascending the stream
to escape the mud, get entangled in the
weeds. The fishermen feel them with
their feet amongst the weeds, and i'm
mediately pounce on them with their
hands Each man has gila or earthen
pot attached by string to his waist and
floating behind him in the water. The
men fill their earthen pots often in
short time by this ingenious but primi-
i've mode of fishing. Some of them can
use their feet almost as well for grasping
purposes as their hands, Toronto Maa.

1t did not take me long to reach the
village after 1 had once started, and my
heart was beating very fast as 1 stood be-
fore the old doctors house. The honey
suckles still twined around the pots at
each side of the door, and the four years
that had passed since was there last did
not seem to have made much change in
the quiet old homestead. The plate on the
door, bearing the words Doctor Hart, 2
was perhaps little rustier than formerly,
but that was all.
The servant who admitted me ushered
me into the front parlor with a ssHemi
Captain Douglasi'' and 1 saw that there
were two persons in the room. Now,
am not particularly quick of apprehen-
sion, but knew precisely the situation
between those two the moment Ientered.
Agnes rose, while her companion, who
was seated very close to her, remained in
his chair, and the bushes that flew to the
fair face Of my old sweetheart were clearly

So it was just as well that l had not
proposed for Agnes before the fighting
began. Even then the Doctors Boy had

DR.. Mosler, writing in German medi-
cal journal, attributes the presence Of tu-
bercles in the intestines mainly to the
swallowing of sputa. Those who are af-
1icted with catarrhal affections of the air
passages and formation of large quanti-
ties of mucus and other unclean secre-
tons, should remember that nature effects
a discharge of these substances from the
membranes for the purpose of ridding the
body Of them. If, then, through care
lessness or other causes the diseased mat
ter be permitted to pass into the stomach
and intestines, it is likely to disturb those
organs, and, as DIR. Mosler says, gives rise
to disease therc.-Dr Foote'S Health

DR.. Alex. De Bora, of Crystal Springs,
N. Y, writes that, after years of practi-
cal tests of the milk diet for Bright's dis
ease, he has long list of cases in which
he has made perfect cures. Great care
is taken to get absolutely pure skinned
milk. from healthy and well fed cows,
and no other food Of any kind is given
after the patient can bear five pints
Of milk o day. Up to this point, and
until the stomach is able to take care of
so much, is found to be the most trying
period in this treatment, but no other
medicine is given, and hand and hair
glove rubbing is daily administered An
other correspondent takes exception to
the claim made, that no drug of any
therapeutic value in that disease has yet
been discovered. In support Of his asser-
ton he sends us recipe which ne claims
has effected cure in Bright's disease, as
well as in dropsy, in every case in which
it has been tried during the last fifteen
years. He recommends the drinking of
an infusion of the dry pods of the com
mon white soup bean or corn bean
When the latter cannot be readily OBJ
tanned the pods of the f'snap short" bean
will answer, and even the Lima bean,
though the latter is Of inferior strength.
The recipe is as follows: Take double
handful Of the pods to three quarts Of
water; boil slowly for three hours until
it is reduced to three pints. Use no drink
Of any kind but this, the patient drinking
as much as he conveniently can; it may
be taken either hot or cold. ."-SeisntiJic

The Iack.Makinn Machine.

A Connecticut man has perfected an
automatic machine for making uphol-
sterers' tacks, and is producing the goods
at Torrington. These tacks have SO far
been always imported, and the secret of
the English manufacture is not known.
Various attempts have been made in this
country to devise machinery for produc-
ing these goods, but resulting in failure.
One firm sank $40, 600 in the endeavor.
Another firm, fifteen years ago, partly
succeeded, but failed financially. The
new machine turns out perfect tacks at
the rate of $50 per minute. An average
days work is 60, 900. One man can take
care Of four Of these machines. By using
different dies the heads may be either
round or cone-shaped, and several sizes
can be made. After shaping another
machine polishes the face of the metal.
The immense quantity used is shown by
the fact that an importer in New York

As late as 1871 they were still search
ing for the sIutine'sn treasure, but after
the finds of 1861, nothing of any conse-
quence was recovered, as bed Of sand
completely covered the wreck. Still they
are not discouraged, but live in hopes
that violent storm may arise, and shift
the bed Of sand now covering the wreck,
and thus afford an opportunity for the
fortune-hunters Of the future to try their
skill in searching for the lost treasure Of
the 'Lutine.n
The 'Thetis," a British frigate, was
wrecked in 1880, on the coast of Brazil,
with $e162, 900 in bullion on board. The
hull went to pieces, leaving the treasure
upon the bottom in five or six fathoms Of
water. The admiral on the Brazil sta
ton, and the captains and crews Of fou1
sloops Of war, were engaged for eighteen
months in recovering the lost treasure.
The work was attended with great skill,
but with danger, hard labor and even
loss of life. Disputes arose between the
parties as to the amount of the reward
for the savers, and much litigation took
place.
