The Scientific American says;
There is a prescription in use in
England for the cure of drunkness,
by which thousands are said to have
been assisted in recovering them
selves. It is ss follows: ''Sulphate
of Iron, five grains; peppermint wa
tor, eleven drachms, twice a day.
This preparation acts as a stimulant
and tonic, and partially supplies the
place Of the accustomed liquor, and
prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostrstion that follows a sud-
den breaking from the use of slim
ulating drinks.

The Arrangements for Seating the Audience

The Arrangements for Seating the Audience
and the Workers.
CHICAGO, July Crowds began to gather in
the vicinity of the great hall in which the Dem
ocratic presidential convention is being held at
an early hour in the day, the door tenders and
ushers reporting for duty at o'clock, with peo-
pie then in waiting to enter and secure their
seats Inside the auditorium, however there
was an approach to chaos, laborers still being
engaged in giving the finishing touches after hav
ing been employed during all of the preceding
night. They did not desert the main platform
whore decorations were being hung to within
half an hour of the time announced for the open
ing of the convention when the workmen Quilted
the building and the scene was clear.
The picture presented was majestic, with its
sittings of fourteen thousands auditors Every
seat in the vast amphitheater appeared to be oc-
cupied, the audience having its full quota of the
fair portion of humanity i'll holiday attire. 1t is
conceded that the picturesque effect, arrange.
ment and dressing of the hall excel that of the
convention Of. four weeks ago. The great vista
of the old hall has been lost by the placing of
the main stage at one side and midway, instead
of one extreme of the hall; but the

very much closer to the stage proper and
the delegates The decorations are
not profuse, but striking and pleasing to the eye
the national colors predominating. The main
platform is dwarfed in comparison to the mag
nifcent proportions of the hall The delegates
are seated in a square immediately fronting the
speakers PLATFORM on the dead level of the con
vention hall. Between the delegates and the
platform are the quarters assigned the press
representatives who have been provided tables
in rising tiers, affording these workers com
plete view of any incident likely to be provoked
during the session. To the right and left of the
delegates are the seats for the spectators slopng
upward easily to point thirty feet from the
floor level The only additional word 20 be of
fered in way of description is that the lighting of
the vast hall is complete, being fanked and
crowned with great windows which pour their
food of light every portion of the auditorium
even with dull leaden sky overhead
At 11:30 the scarlet-coated band of the First
Illinois regiment took position above the speak
er's platform, and burst forth with martial air
which also proved the signal for the arrival Of
the first of the delegates, the Tennessee delega-
tion leading the van. From that moment the
crowd streamed in without ceasing until the
noon hour, when the hall had its full compile
ment of people.

him, was just the opposite. A howl of enthusi-

mayor of Chicago and Democratic nominee for
Governor, got up to speak. He has prepossess-
ing appearance and nervous way about him
that is calculated to create the impression that
he is in constant fear of mine being exploded
under him.
Wade Hampton was on the stage with the
other Democratic notables, and took a great in
terest in the proceedings.
Governor Abbott heads the New Jersey delega-
tion, and helped Tammany as much as possible
in the opposition to the unit rule.

members of the national committee prominent
among whom were Prince, Of Massachusetts,,
and Hamm, of Iowa, who helped Austin n

much space is allotted to them as they desire

Press six; the Cincinnati Enquirer, FIVE; the
Louisville Courier Journal, three and each of the

pers three Gath, with two stenographers, is
just at the right of the speaker, and next to him
is Joe Howard, of the New York Herald and Ed
Perry, of the Boston Herald. The indianapolis
daiies have but one seat each, which is in strik-
ing contrast to the treatment they received in
the Republican convention last month. The
Western Union Telegraph Company has sixty
operators and forty messengers in the conven-
tlon, while pneumatic tube is used to send
manuscript to the operating room in another
part Of the building. just to the right Of the del
egatesare about 600 seats assigned tonewspaper
men who are merely lookers-on and do their
work outside To tho right of these is the space
allotted to alternates, many of whom were ac-
companied by ladies.
TheIcrowd began assembling around the en-
trance as early as o'clock this morning, and
long before they were opened, so as to get front
seats IN the galleries and lower section. The
hall is so immense and the seating arrangements
SO curious that not more than half the specta-
tors can hear what's going on, and great
many Of them are shut off from even satisfac-
tory view. While they were assembling this
morning military band in the gallery gave
various selections, and it was noticeable that
Dixie received round of applause, while
Yankee Doodle, Hail Columbia and other
patriotic airs received little attention

delegation postponed it, so as to compel Mr.
Brown to be more liberal in his disposal of the
tickets. 1t had its desired effect and to-day
tickets were somewhat more plentiful, but still
there are not enough to go halfway around
Every Indiana man here expects to be able to
get front seat, and any one of them will be
lucky if they get in.
