can archaeological expedition to Babylon, where
Nebuchadnezzar ate grass in days of old. The
leader Of the party is the Rev. DR.. William Hayes

Sir Lepcl Henry Griffin, in his book on
America, has discovered objection to Mag
ara Falls worse than the hacks. 1t is that, moth
outstanding the fact that "Niagara, with its al
most perpendicular descents to the river, is
peculiarly favorable to the display of the femi-
nine foot and ankle" the brides who so abound
there Invariably wear new boots"
Beecher, referring to cremation, said that the idea
of the resurrection of the body would present a
lasting objection to the pagan custom of burning
the dead. There might be sanitary reasons in
crowded populations or reasons of preference in
favor of cremation, but all the beliefs of English
and German speaking people were violated by
the idea of such disposition of bodies.
There are twenty-five United States Senators
whose terms expire on the Sd of next March
The question of who are to be their successors is
becoming very interesting, especially to the in
cumbents themselves, who desire reelection
Elections have been held in four instances, the
successors to Pendeton, Williams and Jonas of
Louisiana, being already chosen, while Allison, of
Iowa, succeeds himself. Of the other twenty one
there are several who will succeed themselves and
there is likely to be one or two Democrats dis
placed by Republicans.
Boston has had in court the case of gentle
man of high social standing, the son of great
jurist, and an eminent lawyer and scholar, who
had been imprisoned in an insane asylum, but
had regained his freedom. His relatives wished
to make his confinement perpetual; and to obtain
control of his property on the ground that he was
a lunatic. The only delusion under which he Ia
bored was his belief that he heard necessarily the
voices of unseen speakers. Two men, he declared,
whom he had dsobliged, had conspired to annoy
him in this way, and by means of electrical power
conveyed the sounds to his ear. He conducted
his own defence, and rncde pioa powsrfnl and
ity. He was dismissed free man. But he per
sisted on his discharge that the voices still sound
ed in his ears

S-Several weeks ago the Democratic papers
were busily occupied in proving that Mr. Blaine
Catholic in religion, but as that didn't seem
to drive voters from him very rapidly, and was a
lie besides, they are as busily engaged now in
proving that he is not Catholic but q Presbyte-
rian of the bluest conceivable hue. There is no
use in discussing his religious views. That is his
own business, and not to be considered. What

the first half in 1:06. The performances OF Jay

two seconds faster than that of the New York

everything into consideration is the best mile
shown up to this time. Trinket is reported as
going fast, and hopes are entertained that st.

Should Maud S., Jay -Eye-see, Clingstone, Trinket
and st. Julien come together in race the excite

@-Mr. George William Curtis confessed the
truth when he wrote to ]. A. Kitzmiler of Get
tysburg, "The Independents are Anti-Protection-
lists, and whoever elect must be for revenue re-
FORM" One of his employers, a member of the
firm of Harper & Brothers, confessed the truth
when he stated, long before the convention, that
Harper's Weekly would support no candidate who
was not opposed to protection. This is the milk
in the boilers cocoanut. And the fact is further
endorsed by the opposition of the English press to
Mr.. Blaine, and the whole coterie of free trade
journals and political theorists in this country,
whose headquarters are in New York. But since
the American people are electing President for
the United States and not England, it is quite
probable that American interests will first be con-
suited in the choice of both the and principles.

American President of our generation in the sense

gressive American nationality. He is to the
American people what Gladstone is to the English
and Bismarck to the German. He has the same
creative genius, the same original power of con-
ception, the same high statecraft He will dignity
and exalt the American name. He will make the
American Nation respected and honored at home
and abroad. He will give new lustre to the
American flag and new sweep and scope to Amer

in 1876 and again in 1880, and both times he was
defeated for the nomination. Itopposed his NOM

now opposing his election, which is pretty good

lutions had been submitted. -Fhfs committee, be-
| ing about equally divided between the free-trade
men and the tariff men, had very stormy meet
ing, and the convention was several times obliged
to adjourn on account of its hardness.
When the time for spread eagle speeches arrived
ON Wednesday, Bayard, of Delaware; Mcdonald,
of Indiana; Thurman, of 0hio Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, and Cleveland, of New York, were placed
in nomination for President. These speeches con-
sumed several hours and at their conclusion the
convention adjourned until 1890 Thursday morn
| ing.
| The session of Thursday was repetition of the
previous day. There was considerable cross-fring
between the Tammanyites and others, aud among
| other candidates placed in nomination were Ran
| dali, of Pennsylvania and Hoadley, of Ohio. The
committee on platform not yet being ready to re-
port the convention adjourned to Sp. m.
At the night session the majority report of the

min f. Butler presented the minority report. The
feature of the majority report Is the rarIn plank
which declared that call taxation shall be limited
to the requirements Of economical government .
I meaning, of course, that custom house and other
taxation shall be for revenue only. Buffers re-
port COMICS this plank, which, he claims, is
for free trade, and declares that customs duties
must be adjusted to protect American industry
and enterprise. The report caused a lengthy dis.
cussion. Buffers report was rejected and the ma
jority report adopted.
AT midnight the first ballot was taken, result
ing as follows: Cleveland 1872, Bayard 10, Thur
man 49, Randall rs, Mcdonald Sc, Carlisle II

each. After lengthy struggle the convention
adjourned until 10 o'clock Friday morning.
On assembling of the convention on Friday
morning, Grover Cleveland, of New York was
nominated by reclamation.
The convention was by no means harmonious
body. John Kelly and his Tammany braves from
New York, we're there in great force, bent upor
defeating the nomination of Cleveland at al
hazards The free trade Democrat and the high
tariff Democrat were there also, and last, but BY
no means least, the notorious Ben Butler, of Mas

ton of "panting the town red" and he succeeded
pretty well, but failed in his great object-th'
nomination for the Presidency.

@-The first day of the present month (says
the Baltimore Herald marked the completion of
twenty years of the most remarkable financial de-
velopment on the part of the United States. On
August 81, 1865, the funded debt of the Nation
and greenbacks less cash in the Treasury was
2,756, ISL The net debt at the close of bust
ness on the 3Oth of June last 81, ,235,
very nearly the amount of the net debt on the
same day of the same month in the year 1864 1t
will thus be seen that the whole of the war debt
has been paid off in the lifetime of the generation
which contracted it. Although the fiscal year
just closed has not been prosperous one, the
debt statement shows a cancellation OF bonds
amounting to S112,O0O,0O0, while the actual sur
plus of receipts over expenditures was S1al,OOO,-
OOO Since 1864 the annual average of debt re-
duction has been but s65,0OO0 900, and now for the
first time the arrest of this process of payment is
ceasing to be question of preference and be-
standing 1924 ,612l Of three per cent. bonda.--
! These represent all the bonds that can be called
at the pleasure of the Government till September
4, 1891. That is to say, surplus of S3o,Ooc,ooo
year will suffice to take up every bond that the
Treasury can purchase for the next seven years
without paying premium for the privilege Of
| cancelling its own obligations
