management has been making q speciality OF

story OF the Way in which n Supreme
Court Judge "Foundr 100000.

"Gaths' broadway Notes.
An instance Of being saved by ones friends
is related OF one Of the Judges of tho state
supreme court who several years ago was n
lawyer and not in very thriving ciroum-
stances, and whose partner was in tho habit /
OF borrowing his notes or his Endorsement
and putting it into the bank to raise money.
One of the bank officers overhaued the future
judge one day and said: "There is note Of
yours which has been several times renewed
at our bank and has finally gone to protest
it amounts to $780, and you must send mo
down some collateral for it, The lawyer ex-
claimed that he had not had any benefit from
the loan, but that he recognized the obliga-
tion, and he said "If get this nomination
for supreme judge l will break up that part
nership." The idea never crossed the bank
officer that there was any judgeship in his
friend. In day or two the lawyer came
down to the bank with about one hundred
shares Of street car railroad stock, worth at
that time in tho noighborhood of sixty cents
on the dollar, or in all, perhaps, $4,000. but
considered very precarious stuff The banker
took it, and being slow aud cautious man,
he watched it and meantime tho other was
elevated to the bench. Several years passed
on, and finally there were dividends on the
stock which, by the way, was in the Dry
Dock and East Broadway line. The dividends
wero carefully collected and applied to the
note. After some years there was q rise in
tho stock, and then the banker sent word to
the judge on tho bench not to dispose of that
stock. The judge was frightened; he thought
the stock had been long ago confscated for
the protested note, and he sent friend down
to the bank to ask what the notification
meant. Tho banker in short timo sent tho
Judge nearly $4,000 US his due on this con
served stock after subtracting the note aud
interest In that way money is made by
men who know how for men who do not
know how.

themselves in the majority will select Mr.
Conger and a colored man, but 1t is still un-
decided who will be selected, the indications
pointing to Prof. Greener, John +. COOK, or
DR.. r. A. Watts, the relative chances OF
whom are believed to stand in about tho
order that they are named.
Caucuses were held in several of the dis
tricts last night to arrange for the struggle
on Monday Most of them were held at pri-
vate residences, and those in charge declined
to give out anything of tho proceedings for
publication. There was an exception, how
ever, in the case of the caucus in the TWEEN.
tieth district, which met at the Office of +. A.
Grant & Co., corner of Third and East Capt.
tol streets.
At this meeting, on motion of Michael
Robinson, the chairman was instructed to
appoint a committee of three to select tho
nominees as delegates to the district con-
vention. Mr.. Robinson not being able to
serve ON the committee, Messrs. r. Mcblahon,
j. NJ. Shomo, and Charles Moore were APP
pointed as the committee, which will report
at an adjourned meeting this evening at 8
o'clock at the same place Several gentlemen
made remarks to the effect that the delegates
to Chicago should be instructed to procure in
tho platform of the republican party plank
giving the right of suffrage to the people Of
the District of Columbia. This seemed to be
the sentiment of all present.
There is prevailing impression that there
will probably be opposition primaries in u
large number of tho districts. This, it is
alleged, has been arranged beforehand by
friends Of several of the candidates, and II
carried out it is thought. that much trouble
will he the result.
Each district will elect five delegates and
three alternates There nro in the District
Of Columbia twenty-five districts. This will
make the total number Of delegates at the
Willard hall convention 40, and flty.six
votes will therefore be necessary to a choice.
The voters at the primary elections must be
bona fde residents of the district.
The friends Of DR.. Adams assert that ho
will carry from eleven TO fifteen districts,
and have majority in the convention of
somewhere near seventy-hve votos-a ma
iority of nineteen. On account Of the bitter
feeling now existing it is thought several of
the primaries will be held on street corners
or ON open fields

FILLING AND GRADUATING TIER
NOMErERs.

"When a thermometer is to be
made, says manufactures, "the glass
blower first blows a bulb on the end OF
a long tube. While this tube is hot
the end of the tube is inserted in mer-
curry, and as the tube cools the mercury
rises and fills the bulb. This process IS
repeated until the bulb and part OF the
tube are filed. The bulb is then i'm.
mersed in snow or Clipped ice, and the
mercury settles to the freezing point,
which is marked on the tube at 81 de.
crees. il Fahrenheit scale is to be fol-
lowed. Next, the bulb is put into
boiling water, and the point to which
the mercury rises is marked on the
scale at 2l2 degrees. Ten degrees of
of the mercury are now detached from
the column 10y jarring, and the whole
length OF the tube is tested. The pro-
cess is repeated with five degrees OF the
column, being measured all the time by
a standard thermometer to see II the
tube is eonical at any point. Common
Thermometers generally vary two or
three degrees, owing TO the irregularity
of the opening Of the tube, which causes
:he mercury to rise slowly where the
opening is too large, and too fast where
the opening is too small. 1t requires
great skill to blow tube with a uni
form opening the whole length. They
should be allowed to stand not less than
one month r. one year Is better--to al
low the mercury TO settle before the
scale il made" The self registering
thermometer is used for marking the
highest and lowest points reached
within given time. The bulb is filled
with mercdry, above which, in due
time, is inserted fine piece OF steel
spring; the remainder of the tube is
filed with carbolic acid or creosote.
The steel spring rests at the highest
point it is pushed to by the mercury.
and is afterwards drawn down by a
small magnet. BY a duplex arrange
meut aud reversing the scale, the low
est or coolest point is indicated in the
same way. The deep-sea thermometer
is of the same pattern, and is encased
in heavy copper tube to preserve it
against the pressure of water. 1t has,
besides, a selfregulating attachment.
The fever or clinical Thermometers are
made with great nicely, and are used
for determining the temperature OF the
human body.

vantage, besides, may be expected to grow

All the farmers of the counties named

no one need therefore feel excluded because
he does not belong to any agricultural Or

Why should such a convention be con-

let it be open to all that will send delegates ?

and would be benefited by such a convo-
cation.
