Convention Troubles.

P1TTsBURG. April 1.-The Alleghe-
ny county republican convention to-
day resulted in the election Of ten
Blaine and four anti-Blaine delegates.
The cause of the bolt by the
Blaine delegates from the
fourth legislative district is that the
Blaine men withdrew from the con-
vention because of the alleged unfair
decisions on contested seats. The
complexion of the delegations from
y congressional districts to the Chi
cag0 national convention depends on
these four delegates and the feeling
in the convention is very bitter.

QUESTION.

Joy ome and goes; hope GIBBS and flows
Like the wave;
Change does 1nknit the tranquil strength OF
men.
Love lends life q little grace,
A few sad smiles, Andthen
Both are laid in one cold place,
In the grave.
Dreams dawn and fly, friends smile and die
Like spring flowers;
Our vaunted life is one long funeral
Men dig graves with bitter tears
For their dead hopes; and all
Mazed with doubts and sick with fears
Count the hours.
We count the hours. These dreams of ours
False and hollow.
Do we go hence and find they are not dead?
Joys we dimly apprehend,
Faces that smiled and fled,
Hopes born here, and born to the end,
Shall we follow?

Boring FIR Water.

From Chambers Journal
Boring in the earth for water is an
operation often attended by great un-
certainty. Some few years ago in the
heart CT London q firm Of brewers
bored to q depth Of several hundred
yards wiohout tapping the precious flu
id, and the expensive well had TO be
abandoned. Quite recently, at Burton
on-Trent, a similar failure occurred up
on q far smaller scale. When the oper-
ators had pierced to a depth of 176 feet
without finding water, they called In
the advice of some experienced artesin-
we'll engineers, who recommended the
abandonment of the works, and the
commencement of a fresh bore upon q
site WHICH they selected 200yards away.
AT a depth Of only la feet q copious
supply Of water was found, yielding, la
fact. between s, 600 and 5000 gallons per
hour. It Is remarkable that thes sites
Of both boras were at THE same level.

Washington Hatchet
The stranger from Massachusetts, who
entered a little cowboy town in Texas
At the close Of an intensely warm day

street with q sweet smile playing over

ling the air like the rapier Of a French
auelist. He stopped half way down the
street to watch the gambols Of a herd
OF Texas steers. While thus engaged a

the opposite sid Of the street, Gauge

The wager was taken, and as cowboy
No. 2 drew his fifteen inch revolver and
aimed it at the hat there was an omin-
u silence, and the young man from
Massachusetts still gazed with interest
at the antics Of the cattle.
Bang zip!" The wager was won.
The bullet made a huge aperture
through the polished hat, while its wear
en-, who had read much of Texas desper-
alton and murderers, dashed way like
a runaway horse. He thought the Tex
ans were shooting to kill.
Hi, there, stranger! Hold onl
Stopp yelled the cowboys, and fearing
a volley from behind the Yankee halted
and threw up his hands. As the cow
boys advanced, the one who had made
the successful shot remarked to the

the accusing gaze of those flashing eyes
like q criminal receiving his sentence.
When she had finished he stood erect,
and for a moment a bitter retort seemed
to tremble on his lips. 1t remained un-
spoken.
He said not a word, but turned alb
ruptly on his heel, with a contemptu
Gus toss of his head, and walked proud
ly away.
When he was lost to view in the dark
ness, Minerva turned to Mark, who had
been a silent spectator Of the little

o N BRANCH Y
A Woman with sixty Dresses and a Dude
Who Rivals her.

Long Branch Letter.
This is a great hotel. AT present it
shelters not only a woman with forty
brand new complete costumes, but a.
well, God made him, therefore let him
pass for a man-with sixty spick-span
fresh suits, nine horses and four servants.
The lady in question is Mrs. Moses Fra.
ley of st. Louis, wife of the grain spec
ulator. OF her wardrobe the whole OF
the immediate house is aware, not alone
because it is dazzled three times a day
and between meals by miraculous toll
cts, but because, though occupying an
extensive suite of rooms, two of which
are turned into a wardrobe, the corridor
into which they open has a wainscotting
Of trunks, varying in size from
alligator hat boxes to the huge
"togas," opening like chests of drawers.
When Mrs. Fraley, who is a large
woman with blonde hair, has astonished
us for the fortieth time with a stunning
combination of dress, hat, parasol,
gloves, stockings and shoes to match,
she will start for pastures new and be-
gin all over again, as is the mode with
women Of fashion. For example, there
arrived this moining a lady who has
been doing Saratoga with thirteen
trunks. and who lunched in a miracle
Of chocolate satin sprinkled with
natural sized walnuts of golden hue,
and bronze shoes, which, by the way,
are very fashionable, and in this case
cut low enough to display golden silk
stockings. On her head was perched a
coquettish turban, trimmed with a
dozen gold and brown rings.
AS to the masculine wearer of five
dozen different costumes, Mr.. E. Berry
Wall of New York, / am told he first
became famous through his inil te
variety Of his clothes and his lending
that assuming young fraud Lord Aber-
kromby So, 200 dollars. / cannot vouch
for the truth of it, but it is said that
he and Mrs. Fraley regard each other
in the light OF bitter rivals, though the
latter has the advantage for she can
wear diamonds in a dozen different
ways while Mr.. Wall is obliged to con-
fine himself to studs, pin and sleeve
buttons of blazing stones.
While + write / can see through the
window the st. Louis matron setting
IN her carriage for 4 drive. She has
on a wonderful gowr-a peach colored
silk covered with immense damask roses
of crimson velvet pile; the underskirt
is fourced alternately with crimson
velvet and rose point; the cut Of the
corsage is concealed by a mantle Of the
hEesesaae q tiny bonnet OF lace and Grim
son pompons covers her haxen puffs,
Ffubies and diamonds tremble in the sun.
Mrs. Fraley steps into her satin-lined
carriage with a dexterous touch ar
ranges her skirts and settles herself
among the cushions, under the shade of
q white. lace, rose lined umbrella.
Presently Mr.. Fraley's valet rushes out
with q vast boquet of red roses. Then
the lady gives the signal, the liveried
footmaIS hopg on his pessS at the back,
and the l::aeried coachman in front
starts up the span-one pure white and
one Jet black steed, with huge yellew
collars around their necks, to the mani
fest deteriment of their appearance.

II was charged upon Napoleon, dur
ing his last campaign, that he had III
fled the cradles Of France to all up l,is
army. Yet these French infants fought
at Waterloo, with the courage of vet
Grams.
During our own Cival War, boys
served in the ranks of both armies, and
showed themselves heroes. The cool,
unAinching courage Of "the Drummer
Boy Of Chattanooga" has become historl
ical, and the following anecdote, taken
from "Blue and Gray" displays the
grit Of 70 Confederate lad of sixteen:
During the battle Of Chancell louisville,
q Confederate major met lad return
ing from the front. His arm, held by
shreds Of flesh, was dangling from the
elbow.
Mister" said the boy to the officer,
cant you cut this thing Off II keeps
knocking against the trees, and liz

The major dismounted, cut Of the
useless limb, and tied strip Of his
blouse around the stump to stop the
bleeding. "What regiment do you ba.
long to-" he asked his thankful patient.

Regiment IN there, {" answered the lad,
