The Edmunds ana Arthur Mcn.
from the Boston Hcrald's Despa'ehl


The New York delegation remains abont
the same. Its members are divided just
about as they were, and an incident in the
Edmuuds division has been rather depressing
to the Arthur hcelcrs. It has been thought
up to last night, that the Edmunds. delegates
were simply to be used as Il sort of second
fiddle for the Arthur bazoo, and that at the
proper moment they would turn tail and go
with the President. 1t was supposed that
they had no hope of nominating their mau.
except it should be shown that Arthur was
too weak to get there, in which case they eX-
pected to get the bulk of the Presidents vot-
ing strength on their side. The story to-day,
however, is that they have weakened on this
position and are going to make solid Effort
| to nominate their man from the start. They
have been led to believe that such thing
can be done by uniting all The dissatisfied
elements, and pickiug oH here and there
Blaine or Arthur mau. This has ANNOYED
the Presidents managers TO Il very great eX-
tent, and they are full OF wrath. Many Of
the rank and file ave made 50 angry that
they say they will not vote for Edmunds
under any circumstances, but viii turn over
for Blaine when the time for turning comes,

When Powell Clayton was selected by the

that be had long been connected with the
committee as the representative from Arkan-
Sis and without knowing that the action

| Otherwise the contest that ensued would

other member. Those responsible for
bringing Clayton forward had not calculated
on the convention everything the action
of the committee, as the precedents were all
for approving such nomination. The indie.
pcndents decided to make an issue
on this selection and formed conn
bination with the Arthur men for
that purpose. Votes were cast largely on
this issue, but not all Of them, as some Ar
thur men voted for Clayton in order to sus-
tain the committee and some Blaine mca
voted for Lynch as lie is claimed to be for

All sorts of trades are projected TO ensure
Blaine's success. 1t is asserted that Warner
Miller can deal with the New York Arthur
men, who have no fondness for independent
dictation, by agreeing that the machine Shall
not be molested aud that the successor to
Senator Lapham shall be man mutually
agreeable. The Arthur men have been quite
down to-day. All things considered, the
odds are still in favor of the field and It's
accidents.
The Edmunds men yet show no signs OF
readiness to combine on any outside man, but
John sherman is much talked about. If he
had Ohio solid, his chances would not be bad.

The EdmuDds Wen.

From the Springfield Republicans Despatch
The Edmunds men had a rally at 1880 in
the Massachusetts room Senator Hoar pre-
sided and strongly presented the merits Of
the New England candidate. Gov. Smith
of Vermont expressed the wish Of Vermont
for Edmunds and Landed his fitness and his
attitude of not seeking the high place.
Frederick Billings made a bright and stir
ring speech which reused the meeting Ed
munds, he declared, would unite all and
leave the Independents without other occu-
patton save to support the Republican party.
The speakers enthusiasm for Elmunds
resembled that of San Francisco Blaine
man whom he met at breakfast like all the
Pacific coast he was beating the Chinese
gong so industronsly that he intro
duced his wife to Billings as Mrs. Blaine.
| That was the absorbing enthusiasm to
which the speaker invited the friends of
| Edmunds. George William Curtis made an
able speech. He showed how essential il
was to carry New York and that the party
must take n man who is outside of the party
divisions. Against Edmunds is urged the
single objection that he is a cold man.
There was another president said Mr.
Curtis, "who did not seek the office and who
was cold man, and his name was George
Washington" Mr.. Curtis urged fidelity tC
and enthusiasm for George f. Edmunds
Let us make HIM the rock of safety in The
storm of this convention, the magnet t
which every fragment from the other Blooms
will fly when the crash shall come in The
convention. He characterized the Pacific
hotel as q grand exchange for the mos
extensive manufacture Of misinforma
tion, "a place blazing with false
hood and gusts of panic such as seize mel
on occasions like this. Let US not bC

does, the future Of the party and the country

The following poem. written by the late
Joseph Addison Alexander, d. D., shows
that monosyllablcs may be made to utter
nervous. musical poetry. If it should
correct in our young readers the vice of
using big words, it will serve the pur-
pose for which the author wrote it:
Think not that strength lies in the big round
Or that the brief and plain must needs be
weak.
To whom can this be true who once heard
The cry for help, the tongue that all men
speak
When want. or woe, or fear is at the throat
So that each word gasped out is like shrek
Pressed from the sore heart, or strange, wild
note
Sung by some fay or fiend! There is a
strength
Which dies if stretched too far, or spun too
fine,
Which has more height than breadth more
depth than length.
Let but this force Of thought and speech be
mime,
And he that win may take the sleek, fat
phrase,
Which gIows and burns not, though it CLEAN
and shine;
Light but not heat--a fash without blaze
s'Nor is it mere strength that the short word
boasts;
Itserves of more than fight or storm to tell
The roar of waves that dash the roek-bound
coasts,
The crash of tail trees when the wild winds
swell
The roar of guns. the groans of men that die
On blood-stained fields. 1t has voice, as
we'll,
For them that far off on their sick beds lie
For them that weep, for them That mourn
the dead,
For them that laugh and dance and clasp the
hand.
To joys quick step, as well as grief's low
tread,
The sweet, plain words we learn as first keep
time,
And though the theme be sad, or gay, or
grand,
with each, with all, these may be made to
chime
In thought, or speech, or song, or prose, or
rhyme

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.


An Article that VIII 1Inlxe the Bald and
Many Of the hair dressings Of the day are
excellent, but the great mass of the stuffs sold
for promoting the growth and bringing back
the original color, are mere humbugs, while
not few are pernfcious in their effects upon
the scalp and hair The falling out of the hair,
the accommodations Of dandruff, and the pre-
mature change in color are all evidences OF q
diseased condition of the scalp and the glands
which nourish the hair To arrest these causes
the article used must possess medical as well
rs chemical virtues, and the change must be-
gin under the scalp to be OF permanent and
lasting benefit. Petroleum oil is the article
which is made to work such extraordinary
results; but it is after the best refined article
has been chemically treated, and completely
deodorized, that it Is in proper condition for
the toilet and receives the name OF CarbOline.
1t was in far-Off Russia that the effects OF Pc
troIeum upon the hair were first observed; q
government officer having noticed that par
TALLY bald-headed servant of his, when trim
ming the lamps, had q habit of wiping his
oil-besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and
the result was, in few months, a much finer
head of black, glossy hair than he ever had
before. The oil was tried on horses and cattle
that had lost their hair from cattle plague, and
the results were marvellous The names and
tails of horses, which had fallen out, were
completely restored in a few weeks. These
experiments were heralded to the world, but
no one IN civilized society could tolerate the
use of refined petroleum as a dressing for the
hair. But the skill of one of our chemists has
overcome the difficulty, and he has succeeded
in perfecting Carboline, rendering it as dainty
as the famous eau de cologne. Experiments
on the human hair and skin were attended
with the most astonishing results A few APP
plications, where the hair was thin and falling,
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp
and the hair Every particle of dandruff disap-
pears on the first or second dressing, all cuta-
neous disease of the skin and scalp are rapidly
and permanently healed, and the liquid seems
to penetrate to the root of the hair at once It
is well known that the most beautiful colors
are made from petroleum, and by some mys-
terious operation of nature the use of this arti-
Gle gradually imparts q beautiful light brown
color to the hair, which by continued use deep
ems to black The color remains permanent,
and the change Is so gradual that the most
intimate friends can scarcely detect its pro-
gress. In word, it is the most wonderful
discovery of the age, and well calculated to
make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice.
