Encouraging Bloodshcd.

A Detroiter who put in a part OF the
winter in q Tennessee town made n
number of friends among whom was
gentleman called Colonel, and another
known as Judge. Both were recent
arrivals in the place, and no one knew
lust how they came by their titles or by
what right they wore them. The
Colonel and the Judge were good
friends for awhile, but at length they
had falling out over politics and the
lie was passed, This brought Il chal-
lenge, which was duly accepted. In the
course of couple of hours the Colonel
called on the Detroiter and said:
1.-THE Judge is q good fellow atheart,
and | hate to kill him. Maybe you had
best 90 quietly to the Sheriff. and he
will appear on the ground in the morn
ing and interfere.
The Colonel had scarcely disappear
ed when the Judge came in and said.
'I'vo been challenged by the Col
onel."

"And I've accepted"
"Yes."
"And I'll certainly kill him, for I'm
q doadshot "
"Well, he must take his chances
Eyes, but he's q good fellow and
hate to slaughter him. You might
drop quietly around to the Sheriff anC
give him the wink, and of course he'll
prevent the duel and the Coloncps lif,
will be saved"
Both principals understood that tn
Sheriff was to be notified, but tina
official did not receive the slightes
hint of the affair. On the contrary
every effort was made to keep an
knowledge from him, and mornin
came to find the men on the ground an
in great state of anxiety. Thing
were delayed as long as possible, an
finally, when it was realized that tn
Sheriff would not show up, the Colon'
apologized, the Judge said he We

The Roar For Cleveland.

WAsHISGToN, June 2D.-The feeling
among the Democrats here in favor Of
Governor Cleveland is very strong Not
few Democratic congressman express
the opinion that the Chicago Convention
will be scarcely more than formal rati
iicatiOn Of the nomination Of Cleveland.
Unless something occurs meantime TO
check the Cleveland swell, it is believed
that he will be nominated practically by
acclamation, and that the Convention
will complete its work in one day. So
strong is this impression in the minis of
some that several Senators who had in.
tended going to Chicago, to day declared
it not worth while to take the trip, sim-
ply to join in one hurrah and then dis.
perse.
Georgia, Michigan and Maine have
and even some Of those who antagonized
Convention have fallen into line for him.

Georgia has disappointed The Bayard
men. In the estimates of the probable
strength of the Delaware Senator Geor-
gia was counted for number of votes,

ence for Cleveland.
The friends of Bayard and of Melon.
aid also now acknowledge that neither
of them will stand any chance whatever
if the New York delegation shall deter.
mine to support Cleveland. If that del
egation should refuse to back the Cover.
nor. then it will be free. for oil fight.
Friends of Mr.. Morrison now urge
him strongly for second place on the
ticket with Cleveland. They say it will
be necessary TO have Union soldier from
the West if Cleveland shall be nominal
ed.
Congressman Theodore Lyman says
that the probable decision of tine indie.
pendents 10 Massachusetts, will be to vote
the Republican State ticket with the
Democratic electors at the head provided
that the Democratic nominations at
Chicago are acceptable.
The chairman of the Dem ocratic dele.
CATION to Chicago from Virginia is re.
ported this morning a. saying that that
State will probably vote for Cleveland.
This would be q gain.

Kings Mountain and Cowpens.

A recent visitor to the battlefields of
Kings Mountain and the Cowpeus, in
South Carolina, reports that the monu-
.ments placed there many years ago are
ruined by relic-hunters. The facing of
the Cowpens monument, Erected by the
Washington Light Infantry of Charles.
ton in 1885," is nearly all gone; the
ground has grown up to forest, and soon
there will be nothing to mark the spot
where one of the most important events
of our Revolutionary history took place.
A monument in honor of Morgan's vic.
tory has been erected by Congress and
the State Of South Carolina, assisted by
other States, Mt Spartanburg, sixteen
miles distant, but this cannot identify
the place where the battle occurred.
On the Kings Mountain battlefield there
is monument, placed there at the time
Of the Centennial celebration In October,
1880, which is untouched by the spoilers
as yet, and is likely to be, as it is of
rough grauite at the base and of such
size as to repel the inclination to chip off
keepsake pieces, but the Ferguson Chron-
icle monument, erected where Ferguson,
the British commander, and Chronicle,
Boyd and other Americans killed in the
battle were buried, is so far destroyed as
to be worthless rs monument. The In.
scription on neither side can be read,
and the face of one side is nearly all of
II hacked off aud carried away. Surely
here Is q little patriotic work for the
South Carolina Historical Society or the
Washington Light Infantry, or both, to
do In preserving for all time these two
interesting spots Of our Revolutionary
history. No doubt Congress would lend
q aheiping hand, IA IL has inso many sim.

found that the milling WAS not quite so

a dead look, but answered correctly 10

he could o ly guess, and has never met
any one who could suggest n method by
which base metal could lie combined
with glass 80 rs TO give true weight and
the right ring. The glass is evidently
intended To make the ring correct. and
yet it must be thoroughly mixed with
the metal or it could not be broken with
the pressure Of thumb The secrets of
the cUnntcrftiterS are not known to the
smelters nor are they TO the glass work
ers, and neither can understand how
there can be All amalgamalinn or fusing.
The bad metal, according to that, must
be some comparatively new discovery.
Glass weighs only onc.tcnth That of sill
vcr, and no base metals approach the
weight Of silver, SO that all are puzzled.

A Political Side Issue.

CHICAGO, June 20.-At the afternoon
session of the American prohibition
convention, q platform was adopted
which declares that the God of the Chris.
tian scriptures is the author of civil gov
ernment; favors the use of Bibles in
schools; asserts that God requires and
man needs the Sabbath demands strict
prohibition laws the withdrawal of all
charters to secret lodges, and that their
oaths be prohibited by law; opposes
prison and imported contract labor :;
favors q revision of the patent laws !;
pledges the party to vote for women suff.
rage; asserts that the civil equality
granted by the 18th. 14th and 10Th
amendments should be extended to the
Indians and Cinnamon; that information.
al differences should be settled by arbi.
tration; that land and other monopolies
should be discouraged that the govern.
ment should furnish sound currency !;
that the tariff should be reduced as fast
AZ the necessary revenue and vested
business interests will allow; that polyg.
amy should at once be suppressed, and
chat the Republican party is censurable
for the long neglect Of it's duty in respect
to this evil, and demands q direct vote
for President and vice.P President of the
United States. The preamble adopted
by the National Chrisliau association, In
1875, was also adopted. The convention
then proceeded to q nomination for Pres.
ident Of the United States. Il. G. Pome.
roy, of Kansas, Governor st. John, of
the same State, and Rev. j.. Blanchard,
of Illinois, were named. OF the n votes
cast. Pomeroy received 72, aud Sths nom-
inhtion was made unanimous. For Vice
President, j. A. Conant, Of Connectlcut,
was nominated by exclamation. VI
