PROHIBITION PARTY.
The National Convention 70 Be Held at
Pittsburg, July %.
[pittsburg dispatch.l

Reports received at the Prohibition head
quarters indicate that the national conven-
ton, which will assemble in this city on the
23d Of July. will be one of the largest tenn
perance gatherings ever held in the world.
Over leo delegates are expected 10 be
present. The convention will be held in
Lafayette Hall, where the first National Re-
publican Convention was held. Arrange
msnts are being made by committee of
200 local Prohibitionsts. The expenses will
be met by private subscriptions. The local
leaders talk most extravagantly of the pros
poets Of the party. Many firmly believe
TINT the convention will name the next
President Of the United States. Secretary
Swoger said in an interview to- day: We
contend that Ohio and Michigan are already
pronounced Prohibition States, and that in
calculations of the present dominant politi-
cal parties they should be left out By
nominating such man as Clinton B. Fiske,
of New Jersey believe that New York,
New Jersey, California, Kansas, Iowa,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,, and some of
the Southern States will give their
electoral votes to the Prohibition
party" The canvass for the nomina-
ton is quite animated. Gideon T.
Stewart, Of Norwalk, Ohio, is prob
ably the leading candidate, and will
come to the convention with a very strong
support. In this locality, however, Clinton
b. Fisk, of New Jersey, is the leading
favorite, and in Methodist circles is being
strongly and effectively urged. r. II. Nc
Donald, President of the Pacific Bank of
California. is urged by the Western and
Pacific Slope Prohibitionists and will come
into the convention with the unanimous
support Of the delegation from California.
Gov. st. John. of Kansas, will have the sup
port of the delegates from his State. There
are other names mentioned, but Fiske for
President and John RUSSELL the veteran
Prohibitionist Of Michigan. for Vice Presi-
dent, seems to be very satisfactory combi-
nation.

A Husbands Love.

A man who evidently thinks he knows
says: 1t is easy enough to win hus-
band. Most any attractive little dump
ling with bright eye and coaxing
voice can gather in noble husband
but it is pretty difficult to retain him.
Noble husbands are thi ker than hair
on dog, but the grand difficulty is
to draw out their true nobility and Sc
cure it at home.
If a wife only understands her bust
ness she can introduce the soothing
racket in her new field of operat Gus
and walk away with the whole business.
Most men like to be loved and soothed
There is something in the mans great,
rough, earnest nature that can be won
quicker and easier with gentleness and
pie than by the logic of the broom
handle and bilious course of reason
ing with bread and milk diet.
We have seen a girl who understood
her business tax q reformed road agent
10y the nose, so to speak, and lead him
through life in such way that he
wouldn't know but that he was boss of
the ranch. So perfect was the delusion,
that when she asked him to bring in q
scuttle of coal or get up in his night
shirt and kill burglar that he knew
was nothing but bobtailed COW four
blocks away, he always went and he
felt as though he counted it mark of
special favor that poor, unworthy
worm of the dust like him should be
sought out and delegated to. go and
chase lame COW across nine vacant
lots with an old barrel stave and
clothed in nothing but little brief
authority and knit undershirt.
We cannot exactly describe this
magic power of devoted wife over
her husband, and we do not intend to
try it. 1t is an unseen motive, q
nameless leverage that makes the hus-
band get up in the dead hour of the
night and set the pancake batter near
the parlor stove.
A man need not think that because
he gets up and looks for burglars in the
night and is otherwise obedient that it
is because he has no backbone
1t is simply because he is the hus-
band of woman of whom he ought to
be proud.

The Bud In Conversation.

It has been said that the young peo-
pie of our day have no conversation.
The fallacy of this broad statement
will be proved, as far as Buffalo belle
dom is concerned, by this true story.
A stranger present ut recent brill
liant reception was charmed by the
bright and attractive faces of the buds
who graced the entertainment, and re-
questing an introduction, was presented
to charming specimen whose laugh
ing eyes and pouting lips indicated her
posse ssion of natural ability as well as
beauty. He allowed her to open the
conversation, which she did by assail-
ing him with series of questions, but
in such form as to demand from him
nothing but an affirmative answer.
you're stranger here, aren't you
Is this your first visit to Buffalo? Do
you like what you have seen of it?
isn't this pretty party? Don't the
house open nicely? Yes, she actually
said Don't" Isn't it a shame that in
such lovely house as this there isn't
any dancing?'
When she showed by pause that
her topics were exhausted, he thought
to sound her by few questions as to
her tastes.
Have you seen the last number OF
the Century," said he.
no" she said, hesitatingly, seeming
o little dubious as to his meaning.
"You are not fond of reading, sup
pose?'
"Oh, yes; 1 read great deal. read
the paper every morning"
"Oh, are you politically inclined?'
"No, indeed! / hate editorials and
everything dry in the paper. In fact,
most of the paper is uninteresting; but
once in while 1 manage to find pref
ty story, or something funny"
Whose boo do you read p
II get all my books from papa's Ii
brary."
YES" and the young man carefully
suppress, ed smile. "What have you
been reading lately?"
II have just finished an awfully nice
book"
Indeed; by whomS"
II forget who wrote it. 1t is a French
story called Bebe.''
"Ah, yes; Ouida.'
THAT'S it. 1t is translated from the
French by Monseer Ouida. But" said
she, fortunately for him changing the
conversation, Il didn't see you at the
party last week. II you we're in town,
how could you resist such fine oppor-
tunity for dancing?"
Here they we're joined by q young
man, evidently great friend of the
buds, for she addressed him thus ia
miliarly:
"Oh, George; so glad to see you! I
believe it is whole day since 1 saw
You last"
The young man answered with equal
familiarity, calling her Polly" and the
stranger moved away, inwardly reflect

entertaining two far maidens with his
cultivated conversation during the last

an adjacent saloon. He swung himseli

that's absurd. You know L don't be-

awfully suggestive of bad spirits" The
youth muttered something about mala-
ria, and concealed his pungent exhala-
tions behind paper. = Traue.er'S

interchange !? with her equally pretty
and equally informed companions.
Certainly it can't be said that on
young people have no conversation, or
that their conversation Is not impressive
or amusing. The stranger above men,
toned would deny any such insinuat on
about the young girl he conversed with,
for she made such an impression by
her conversation that he will probably
never forget her: and as to amusement
it is seldom that rs much solid amuse
ment can be gained in ten minutes
talk as he gained during the ten min
utes in which the young woman favored
him with her society. - Buffalo Ea-

The Man She Mittened.

An interesting conversation was over
heard by one who Glanced to occupy
the seat behind two girls on railroad
car. The young ladies-both evidently
from the rural districts-met unexpect-
edly on the train. They proved to be
old friends, and were soon launched
into conversation that might be said
to come under the head of confidential.
One, pretty brunette, was about to
be married, and proceeded, III answer
to her companions inquiries, to give q
description of the man of her choice.
After quite little dissertation on his
good qualities, she acknowledged that
he was not very good-looking. mo,

"Nvhat Did She Mean"

An excellent story is told about q
young man whose attentions to young
lady became the subject of comment.
She was his companion in his daily
rides, and apparently they both en-
joyed the propinquity. Suddenly the
rides ceased, and the young fellow was
asked the reason. He replied that she
had called him iackass, and that he
would not ask any girl to ride with him
after that. The lady's friends were
shocked, and asked for particulars
This was his explanation: "You see,
we had been so much together that L
gave out in topics of conversation, and,
when 1 took her out last, / couldn't
think of anything but the weather, and
/ said, i believe it's going to rain; I
felt q drop on my ear She looked at

Women, as q rule, can not afford to
take the same risks with their invest
ments which men can take; and no
woman who has not money enough to
lose part of the principal without
feeling the loss, should invest in any
stock or bond where there is reason
able doubt about the security, or
where, from the nature of the business
carried on, the dividends are likely to
be irregular. The woman who has a
small but regular income is far better
of, and is likely to enjoy far greater
peace of mind, than the woman who has
large dividends in prosperous years and
none at all in bad years.-Boston Id

THE nitro-glycerino bomb is recent
addition to destructive projectiles, its
serviceableness in reducing intrench-
ments being. it is claimed, unexcelled.
In its construction heavy conical
shell is first cast, and 30 arranged that
one end is much heavier than tho other,
one end being also closed with tightly
fitting cap, screwed on after charging.
The interior of the she'll is divided into
three compartments. each separated by
a heavy plate-glass cap; the division
furthest from the open end is filled with
sulphuric acid, and the next with glyc.
crime, and the outer one with nitric
acid, these three elements being the
component parts of nitro-glycerine. A
small opening through the open end OF
the projectile admits a steel rod, to
each end of which is firmly attached a
small circular piece Of metal, the inner
end resting against the first glass cap
the outer cap Is then screwed on and
the proiectile is ready for service. Ac.
cording to the principle of gravitation,
the heavy end naturally strikes the
ground first, the steel rod is driven
through the plate-glass partitions, the
chemicals are mingled, and nitro
glycerine discharge takes place.
