What the Vote Shows,

There is no reason for dependency among
the friends of Mr.. Blaine on account of the
defeat of Mr.. Clayton for the temporary
Craftsmanship. The combination against
him included nearly all the Arthur men, all
the Edmunds men, the Sherman men and
a part OF the Logan men. Almost every
man who will vote for some other Candidate
than Mr.. Blaine on the first ballot, voted
against Clayton. On the other hand a con-
siderable number of the delegates who voted
for Lynch are known to be for Blaine. Mr..
Biaine's friends claim, and seem to demon
strate pretty coDclusiVely, that of The 3S7
votes thrown for Clayton only 80 belong to
anybody but their faVorite, and that of the
432 votes for Lynch ID came from men who
will vote for Mr.. Blaine on the first ballot.
This would make Mr.. Blaine's vote on the
first ballot S61, only fifty less than the mum.
Der required to nominate him.
Mr.. Blaine's opponents, to be sure, pro-
fess to be very happy over Mr.. Cayton's de-
feat, but the reason for their joy is not very
apparent. They neglect themselves to ex-
plain 1t. They assert noisily that the fate of
Clayton settles the fate of Blaine, but when
asked to demonstrate how it settles it they
are silent. The fact is the defeat of Clayton
settled nothing except that majority of its
members did not want Clayton to preside
over the convention. In SO far as the con-
test was test of strength between Blaine
and his opponents the outcome of it was
very gratifying to Mr.. Blaine's friends.

The supporters of Mr.. Edmunds show a
lukewarmness toward their candidate, which
is not very creditable to them. Many of
them openly declare their willingness to
drop him at any time for more available
candidate, by which they mean candidate
who could better subserve their chief pur-
pose, which is to defeat both Blaine and
Arthur. There is apparently little enthusi-
asm in their support of their candidate, and
such as it is, it is dictated more by dislike of
Blaine and Arthur than by love of Ed
munds. Mr.. Edmunds deserved better
treatment than this.

drowning at St. Johns inlet, Florida, is re-

tary secretary during his second term. He
became involved with the Mcdonald whis-

acquitted. Gen. Babcock was a naive of
Vermont and West Point graduate. He
served throughout the rebellion with distinc-

gallant conduct on the battlefield. His con-

whiskey ring enveloped career which had
been brilliant and honorable in cloud

In the United States the problem
that has long agitated Europe has be-
gun to present itself, and the question,
"From whence are the American peo-
pie to procure their future supply of
construction timber?" is constantly be-
ing asked by the dealers of this repub-
lie. The question may readily be
answered. The tall mountain ranges
of Mexico are covered nearly to their
SUBMITS with growth of excellent
white and pitch pine. The tops Of the
innumerable foot hills are also gar
nished with grand pine forests.
The same may be said of the five
Central American republics. As the
traveller recedes from the coast, at
about fifty miles from the ocean, the
lands which gradually slope upward
present an almost temperate flora to
the eyes of the astonished beholder,
while many pleasing contrasts may be
observed; for instance, tho larch, pop
lar, and sycamore flourish beside the
tamarind and the frcndose ceiba. The
oak and laurel mingle their branches
with those of the nispero and Zapote,
while the same fertile soil gives life to
to the cypress and the cherry, the APP
pie and the banana, the plum and the
coffee trees. At an altitude of $500
feet above the sea the pine and other
conifere first appeared; at an eleva-
tion of 5000 this genus attains its
greatest size, and at the height Of 5000
it assumes stunted and dwarfed ap-
pearance.- Orleans Times-Dem-

The Art Of Early Rising.

The proper time to rise, says the
Lancet, is when sleep ends. Doing
should not be allowed. True sleep is
the aggregate Of sleeps, or is state
consisting in the sleeping or rest Of all
the several parts of the organism.
Sometimes one and ut other times an
other part of the body, as whole, may
be the least fatigued, and SO the first
to awake, or the most exhausted, and
therefore the most difficult to arouse.
The secret Of good sleep is the physio-
logical conditions of rest being esthb-
lished, SO to work and weary the sew
cral parts of the organism as to give
them proportionately equal need Of
rest at the same moment; and, to wake
early and feel ready to rise, fair and
equal start of the sleepers should be
secured; and the wise self-manager
should not allow drowsy feeling of
the consciousness or weary senses, or
an exhausted muscular system, to be-
guile him into the folly of going to
sleep again when once he has been
aroused. After very few days of self
discipline, the man who resolves not to
doze-that is, not allow some sleepy
part of his body to keep him in bed
after his brain has once awakened, will
find himself, without knowing why, an
early riser.

The "Purtiest Fight He Ever Saw"

"The purtiest fight, though, gentle
men, remarked an old stager, "is be-
tween deer and rattlesnake. was
hunting one day when l saw deer,
come to q sudden stop and turn and
gallop off through the woods. Directly
it came back, followed by powerful
buck, and when it got up within about
twenty feet Of whar il had stopped be-
fore, It stopped again till the old buck
come along side of it; then both come
back about twenty feet and took . run
min start, and when the foremost one
got to certain point she gave q snort
and jumped clear over the place, and
the old buck followed in the same way.
They kept this up for several minutes,
when the buck commenced to come
down on the spot with his fore feet.
When they had got through went up,
and thar was rattle-snake as big rs .
fence rail, all mashed up. Now, sir.
it's amazin' how they worked their
little game. They first got the snake
so tarnal mad that he would strike at a
shadder, then the first one would 60
over, and when the snake had struck
Mt him the old buck would come along
before it could coil up again and get in
his hoof work. 1t war the purtiest fight
you ever saw. ."-Erchdnge.
