the republicans were going to have loii-
fieation meeting to ratify the nomination
of Blaine and Logan, the meeting held on
Market square Saturday night was poorly
attended Bleuer's band, all dressed up in
spangles, decked with all modern gew-
gaws, was present and livened up the
embryo funeral procession with strains OF
delightful music. A great crowd OF kids
followed the band, yelling for Jim Blame
and Jack Logan at the top of their voices,
| while occasionally an admirer OF the
ticket would exclaim, "see our process

square with its flying banners. dry goods
box was produced. and two or three re-
publican orators mounted the box, and in
a weak and feeble manner proceeded to
make speeches This is all that was done
at this great ratification meeting. Il

The PITCAIRN IsLANDERs.-An Eng.
lish vessel which was becaimed on Sept.
% off Pitcairn Island was visi,e by q
boat load of tho islam ders, with whom
Ono Of the passengers, lady. went ashore.
The people were delighted to see her,
telling her that she was the first English
woman who had visited the island 10 25
years. They loaded her with fruits and
howers, with shells. baskets roles Of the
Bounty, fresh fish, cocoanut oil and a
score OF other things which s he
couldn't possibly carry, and then rowcd
her back with all her treasures to tho
ship. In private letter, from which
an extract appears in the London Times
sho writes: The vegetation of the island
is simply magnificent. everything APP
pears TO grow spontaneously. Some of
the orange and bread-fruit tree, were
gigantic, and the whole place was sickly
With the scent Of the orange blossoms.
Flowers grew everywhere, heads Of
double geraniums as large as my head,
and some splendid lilos. Our cabin
was like a florists shop for the next
fortnight. They have built nice little
church and echool-housc, and they seem
perfectly happy and contented.'
