little business was done during the en-

Ben. Butler cooked his head to one
side and brought his one good eye to
bear upon the committee on platform,
and objected to their mid wishy -washy
tariff resolution. Ben. wanted some
thing hot and vigorous in that direct
ion, but the other fellows did not, and
after a hard fight they completely
fioored Mr.. Butler.
And so the day wore away in CON
sidering objections and hearing new
resolutions, until all got hungry and
an a@.uurnment was agreed upon until

Denver News (Dem): IF the
Democratic party really desires TO win
in the coming contest, it must give its
delegates to the Chicago convention
to understand that popular sentiment
must be respected in choosing the
presidential nominee. The petty bosses
and perpetual place-huntcrs Of New
York can not be allowed to rule
in the national convention. Cleye-
land can be elected without their aid
more easily than any man that they
could name, even though the whole
party should accept their choice,
The Booster Banner, Il little pa
per published at Bellevue, La, gets of
the richest political joke of the season
by remarking that: ''The battle for
the Presidency will be fought on
questions Of principle so far as the
Democracy are concerned" Such a
remark coming from a paper publish
ed in Louisiana, is decidedly good,
and would make man with jump
ing toothache stop yelling long enough
to smole smile.
The President has vetoed the Fitz
John Porter bill, and congress failed
to pass it over his veto The letter of
the law no doubt sustains the veto, but
it was not magnanimous, and had
none Of the Golden Rule spirit in it.
Porter done wrong but he has also suf-
fered much, enough we think to salts
fv justice, and is as much entitled to
forgiveness as those who were in open
rebellion against the government.
The Democracy have not been
very successful with candidates from
New York. They have tried four
since 1864, and met with disaster ev-
cry time. Mcclellan in 1864, Sey-
mour in 1868, Greeley in 1872, Til
den in 1876. Besides these thew nom
mated Hancock in 1880, who is more
New Yorker than anything else, and
met with still another defeat

man, two clever young gentlemen
from Chicago, are spending their sum

ing good luck and enjoying them

candidates no state should be allowed
to change its vote until the roll OF
states be called, and until every state
has cast its vote.
| Mr. Grady, of New York, offered as
an amendment the following:
when the vote OF inc state Is announced by the
chairman OF the delegation if such state is chal-
lensed by any member OF the delegation, then
the secretary shall call the names ofthe indiidu-
al delegates from the states, and their individu-
al preferences rs expressed shall be accorded as
the vote Of such state. daughter and applause.)
This was blow at the unite rule
given by John Kelly through his strik-
er Grady, and the point was holly dis
cussed by Fellows, Grady, Jacobs and
and Kelley of New York, Powers of
Michigan, Harrison of Illinois, Bragg,
Of Wisconsin and several Others, and
the amendment was finally rejected
by vote of $50 to 445, and in this
vote Tammany Hall and John Kelly
met their first defeat, but this will by
no means silence Mr. Kelly.
Committees on permanent organiza-
ton, credentials, platform and resolu-
tons were then appointed and the
convention then adjourned until ele-
ven o'clock Wednesday morning.

WHAT THE Diver SEEs.-The
first sensation in descending under
water in suit of armor is the sud-
den bursting roar in the ears, caused
by the air driven into the helmet
from the air-pump. The flexible
air hose has to be strong enough to
bear a pressure, the mouth opens
involuntarily, the air rushes into
the tube and striking the drum, which
striks back to its normal state with
a sharp. pistol.like crack. Peering
through the google eyes Of glass in
his helmet, the diver sees the strange
beauties about him clearly, and in
their own calm splendor. Above
him is q pure golden canopy, while
around him and beside him are tints
and shimmering hues, including all
colors, which are indescribably ele-
CANT. The floor of the sea rises
like golden carpet, inclining gen.
tly to the surface. The change of
familiar objects is wonderful. The
wreck of a ship seems studded with
emeralds, glittering in lines of gold !;
piles Of brick assume the appear
ance of crystal; a ladder becomes
silver, every shadow gives the i'm
preston of a bottomless depth.

Why They PARTED CoMpANy.-
An excellent story is told about a
young man whose attentions to a
young lady became the subject of
comment. She was his companion
in his daily rides, and apparently
they both enjoyed the propinquity.
Suddenly the rider ceased, and the
young fellow was asked the reason.
He replied that she had called him
a jackass, 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 I gave out in topics for con-
versation, and when | took her out
last couldn't thi2k of anything
but the weather, and | said: I be.
lieve it is going TO rain; I felt a
drop on my ear She looked at
me and carelessly said: That rain
is half mile off, Now, did NOT
that mean that ] was iackass
with long ears! I have never been
near her since"

POLITENESs In ARKANSAS.

Let me relate an incident.
suppose that Arkansasis about as
dangerousa place as Texas for 8
bully to 60 to, but from personal
observation at both points / think
Arkansas is little safer place for
gentleman than Cincinnati. The
general: urbanity of the people as.
tonished me more than anything
else. This is what l propose to
illustrate. We stopped at one
station, and travel for forty miles
by stage. On our return, the stage
"a large spring wagon without
top-was loaded with men.
They were Of different types.
One had a bottle of whisky. One
was a minister. We came to a
creek where party had stopped
to water their horses. There were
two women and o little girl, appar.
emily very poor. They wore sun.
bonnets and faded calico dresses.
The horse was poor, and the vehi-
Gle was as shabby and rough an old
specimen as / ever met with. One
of the women had uuhitched the
horse and let him back to the water
and had just turned to come up
the bank as we reached the level
after crossing.
Our driver stopped. A well
dressed man hoped out ofthe stage
and with a bow, offered his assis
tance. He led the old horse up to
the vehicle-I don't know what else
to call -hitched him. in, assisted
the woman to her seat, and then az
she heartily thanked him, he polite
ly bowed her good.day, lifting hi
hat clear off his head. In moment
he was in the stage again, and or
we went. After my experience in tht
north, it struck me that this was al
for sport, and that the men woult
have lots Of fun about the affair
But I soon found it was all in ear
nest. All regarded it as matte
of course. For from that moment
on to the end Of our journey, no
one man uttered one syllable abou
it. Nor a sneering remark va
made, no joke or pun, no remarl
of any kind-not one single word
1 had to confess to myself that
never saw more politeness than this

ADVICE TO A BACHELOR.
BY w. B. DERRICK.

You asked me, sir, to write ior you
A poem or song:
I'll now comply, if this will do,
But will not make it long;
For, if I should let loose my thoughts
Which close their vigils keep,
You would, fear, to grief be brought
Or else-would fa.l asleep!
You are quite fair, (the ladies say y
And 1 presume you're human,
But why, dear sir, do you delay
90 get yourself woman?
Just think Of all the pretty girls,
And of their lovely charms,
And of their switches, bangs and curls.
And-clasp one in our arms.
From top to toe, I do declare,
You might, my darling lad,
Possess one of those ladies fair,
And two in one make glad;
And this the scriptures bade you do,
As sure as you're sinner,
So now proceed to win and WOO
Some one to cook your dinner.
You're going to-a western state
To seek your fortune there,
But first, you should select mate
Your Joys and grief to share.
I've now advised you for your good,
And hope you'll profit by it;
To do so, it is understood,
The best way is GO try it.

A CoRNEE ON ICE.

The first man to strike the corner
where the porter had thrown a pal
of water over the fag-stones and
produced a glare of ice was an IN
surance agent. He slid to the right.
clawed to the Left, clutched at a sun.
beam, and went down with the ex.
clamation: Hanged if I don'tr'
He rose up to jaw and threaten
and collect a crowd and almost
lick somebody, and he went away
stirred up for al day.
The next man was a tailor-tall,
spare and solemn. His toes all OF
sudden turned out, his left leg
was lifted, and he spun once and a
half around before he went down,
with the remark: 81 knew 'twould
happen!" He got up to- hurry
along out of sight, and it was easy
to see that he had calculated on
about SO many falls for the winter.
The next was a feshy man with
a smiling face and air Of good ma.
ture. He didn't loose any time
going down, and when he struck
he realized that he shad hit some
thing. And yet what he said was:
SIS it possible?' He got up slowly
forced a grin as the boys chafed
him, and looked back three times
to make sure that he hadn't made a
hole which would prove a man-trap
for other pedestrians.
The next was bank clerk with a
pencil over his ear and q preoceu-
pied mind. He was swinging his
right hand and rushing right ahead,
when he suddenly saw billions of
stars shining in the morning sky.
His first thought was thatsomebody
was celebrating Fourth of July;
his next was to scramble up and
search for an asylum where he
could hunt up his collar button
and splice his suspenders. Not a
word escaped him until he was a
block away. Then he remarked:
cat six per cent. it would be 1854.
