THE single ballot taken in the conven-
ton last night revealed The fact that
Cleveland held the lead u~ndeniably, with
Bayard second. Cleveland's vote amounted
to 392, while Bayard's was 10. The
total number of votes in the convention
is $40. Following the old-time two
thirds rule of the party the successful
candidate must secure SAT. Cleveland
consequently requires 1855 votes to secure
the nomination. These are scattered
among an array OF candidates, some of
whom were given complimentary votes on
the first ballot. 1t is a somewhat remark
able fact hat Flower received but four
votes, The combination against Cleve-
land is a strong one, but his friends are

Only a Crazy-Quilt.

The other night a rather hard-looking man
went to the Little Rock hotel, and after
registering said:
swish you would give me a quiet room,
for l have been drinking heavily and would
not be surprised il l had delirium tremens
before morning"
The clerk assigned him to a cheerful room,
and the tremulous man, declining several in
vitations to drink, went up to his "den. n
After a while the clerk, hearing n terrible
noise, ran up to the tremulous mans room
and found that gentleman belaboring the
bed with his boot.

The Model of nartho1dp- "LIborty."

Paris Cor. Inter ocean,
Mr.. Henry F. Gillig, of the American e1.
change, gave a grand banquet last week at
the superb Hotel Continental in honor OF the
distinguished sculptor, NJ. Auguste Bartholdi,
on the occasion of the completion Of his
colossal statue of Liberty Enlightening the
World" The fifty gentlemen who sat down
to the table bore, for the most part, names
well known either in France, England, or
America as those of statesmen, publicists,
artists, and journalists of no ordinary merit
In the course of the evening Senator Bozerian
made n most touching little speech. He told
how, a few days after he had become ac-
quainted with Bartholdi, the sculptor invited
him to the opera. "On entering the box"
said Mr.. Bozerian, IL noticed an old lady
sitting in the corner, and when the
light fell upon her face 1 turned to
Bartholdi and exclaimed: Why, there is
your model OF the Statue of Libertyr Yes
was the quiet reply, that is my mother So,
my American friends" continued the SEN
ator, with much feeling, "Barthoidi is send
ing you not only a work of art, but the like
ness, rejuvenatod and modified to suit the
subject, of his beloved mother. And it seems
to me that when the future generations of
the New World sing the praises of our great
sculptor, they will admire In him not on,y
the grandiose artist but also the affectionatz
son, and they will not fail to discover In the
mighty Colossus of New York this remark
abe example of fllial pisty blended with this
powerful conception of Liberty"
Bartholdi's eyes were filled with tears as
NJ. Bozerian sat down, and III. de Lesseps,
who is as susceptible as n woman to all that
relates to the family circle, expressed the
unanimous sentiment of the table when,
with evident fullness of heart, he thanked
the speaker for this new revelation of tho
artist and his work.

RUM AND DEMERARA SUGAR.
British Guiann's Two Great Indus

Enquirer Interview.
ats Gods own country; climate healthy
and salubrious; no animals wilder than
cougars and sharks; summer perpetual;
every thing to eat growing spontaneously"
said Mr.. Harry Distel, leaning against a
soda-fountain in a centrally located drug
store. He was speaking OF British Guiana
"And the great industry Of the countryn
II may say there are two great industries;
sugar and rum. Demerara sugar is famous.
1t is straw-colored, and though most of it
goes to England, large quantities are shipped
to Baltimore, Boston and Philadelphia. The
plantations all lay in low land above George
town, on either side of the river. A main
railroad runs direct from Georgetown
vary in size from 800 to 500
acres Each plantation is a well regu-
lated commonwealth, where disci-
pline and order prevail. The work
is performed by coolies, who have
been brought from Madras and Calcutta,
negroes and Cinnamon. Each plantationhas
u manager and several overseers. who are
generally English or Scotchmen. The la
borers work in gangs, each under an overseer,
planting, cultivating, or gathering the cane.
The work is divided up somewhat in this
way. The coolies or East Indians work along
the river, gathering in the rubbish and keep
ing clear the bitches by which the sugar
fields are irrigated. The Chinese cut and
bind the cane, and the natives or negroes
carry it to the fat cars which trundle it to the
mill.
"The process of making sugar is an in
teresting one. The cane ia sorted; that
which is dry is used for fuel, the bruised ard
spoiled tossed into q large open vat, while
the clean cane goes into an immense crusher.
usually consisting OF three heavy, cast-iron
rollers. The canes go twice through the
mill, the second time n pressure of steam be-
ing put on, and about two-thirds of the juice
is extracted. This juice, il left to Itself in
this hot climate, would soon ferment. In
about an hour thereafter it is treated to a
proportion Of lime, heated to l4O de-
grees in large fht-bottomed copper
pans or CHARTERS. The albuminous
parts are coagulated, and coming to the top.
are skimmed of. This clear liquid is allowed
to cool for an hour or two, and drawn of for
concentration by boiling. In this process
four flannel strainers are used. Til boiling
continues in open watts, so that evaporation
occurs, followed by coagulation. Passing
then through IA series of sifters, it at last
comes out dry and perfectly crystaliZed.
Thence packed in hogsheads of from . 100 to
$500 pounds, 1t is stored in warehouses ready
for shipment"
Where's the rum all this timei"
"Don't let me forget that. The cane which
is thrown into the watts goes through a pro-
cess of fermentation, and is then distilled.
The product is what is known as white rum.

Protection Against CHATS.

In some portions OF the South, gnats
and mosquitoes are very troublesome to
live stock, horses and mules sometimes
being destroyed by them The following
remedy, tested by a lady in Greenville,
Miss, and who writes to the Planters
Journal OF her successful application OF
it, may prove useful to others:
Last week l made what l think a
good discovery, and that's, that camphor
will keep of the gnats from the horses.
l have severel which were shut away in
a dark stable, and | wished a fayorite
pony to Craze, and knowing that mos
quitoes did not like camphor, / thought
| would see what it would do for gnats.
So made flannel bag and put about
the third of a pound of gum camphor in
it and hung it around the pony's neck,
and besides melted about teaspoonful
of lard and gum camphor together, and
when cool applied it with rag very light
ly 10 the hair of the ears, under the chin,
behind the foreiegs, and in the TANKS,
and stood him for four hours where the
gnats were worst, and not one would
touch him. The smell of the camphor
lasted ON him for hons after the bag
was removed and the pony returned to
the stable. 1t does not take the hair off
nor worry the animal at all. OF course
l should use nothing butpure lard. The
camphor costs about fifty cents a pound.

Directions for Propagating the Rose

Take young branch, cut slit just be-
Iowa leaf-bud, yut the branch through
the hole in common flower pot until the
slit in the bark is inside the pot, then
fiji the pot with sandy soil, set it ON the
ground, bending the branch and pinning
it down without breaking; keep the pot
well watered and the branch will root in a
few weeks, then cut outside the pot with
understanding the roots. The large white
rose and many others that do not root
easily from slip, can be propagated
in this way, as can, also, most shrubs and
woody plants. OF course it will be I'M
derstood that the branch should be push
ed upward until several inches are above
the rim OF the pot and the earth pressed
tightly around it, the same as though pot
ting any ordinary plant. The point to be
observed is to leave the branch unsever-
ed, so that it may draw strength from the
parent root, until its own roots are star
ted. Leave it undisturbed III the pot
in the cellar until the next spring
then set where it is to remain.-Frui
Recorder.

Ostrich Eggs as Food.

Twenty hungry men were recently set
down to meal composed of a single egg.
1t was an ostrich egg. Fora whole hour
it was boiled, and though there were
some misgivings as to its being cooked,
the shell was broken, for curiosity could
no longer be restrained, and three
pound hard-boiled egg laid upon the
plate. But, aside from it's size, there
was nothing paticular about it. 1t had
the white and blush tinge of duck eggs,
and the yollS was of the usual color. II
tasted as it looked-like duck egg-and
had no flavor peculiar to itself. But it
was immense. AS it takes twenty-eight
hens eggs to equal in weight the ostrich
egg which was cooked, it is evident that
the host knew what he was about in
cooking only one. There was enough
and to spare.-Saa Francisco Alta Cali

the fruit. Under favorable circumstan-
ces the fig often fruits here the same
year OF planting, while the second sea-
son frequently furnishes a fair yield, but
the best results as to quality and guam
tlty can only be hoped for after an eighth
or tenth year. From some cause, wheth-
err from lack of proper formulation or
otherwise, the first crop is of little or no
account, often falling before maturity.
The. second crop is the principal one,
While the third is often of considerable
consequence. The things particularly
lacking to secure the the fullest measure
OF success are easy and rapid methods
o. gathering the figs, and proper instruc-
ton as to the best methods of preparing
them for market. So little has been done
toward the preparation of an article of
export, that those who might, have
not informed themselves in that direc-
ton as they should have done.
Some parties here have indeed "put
up some of the fruit in very credita-
bic shape, but the expense connected
with the preparation has infringed great
~ Oh the margin of profit. As a pre-
served fruit, the fig has certainly equaled
our most sanguine expectations as a
dried fruit, the demand lisa certain mark
OF It's appreciation. The common meth
cd Of drying as used by the farmer, is
the same as that for sun-dried peaches.
The product is usually hard and unpala-
table when raw, but of excellent taste
when cooked. Died in the shade and
on the ground, the taste is preserved to
better advantage. but requires more care
and expense When the same care is
exercised III their preparation as in Italy
and Spain, and when they become bet
ter known, ourf figs will hold a high place
in the markets of the world. A tree of
eight or ten years old should yield from
four hundred to six hundred pounds of
well-matured fruit annually.-1merica,s
