Presidential Figuring.

Nov that all the delegates to the Repub-
lican National Convention have been
chosen, every political expert is busily en-
gagged in figuring out the probabilities Of
the result. The friends of Blaine and Ar
thur are submerged head and ears in mas
ses of statistics OF States, districts, candi-
dates and figures, and each make out q
result hattering to his own side, ''ths wish"
being generally "father to the thought"
We have before us three tables of all the
delegates, studiously complied by political
statistieians Of different ways Of thinking.
One OF them puts Arthur so far in the lead
that his nomination by the Convention is
an absolute certainty; another puts Blaine
far ahead Of Arthur, and indicates the
formers nomination as foregone conclu-
sion; and the third, by one who is friend
of nsither of those candidates, shows very
plainly, to his own satisfaction at least, that
both Arthur and Blaine will la * the eces-
sary number of votes, and that the clark
horse" will probably be the winner. We
give these three tables, as follows:

After little pause Mr.. Denison con-
tinued:

Republicans, at the dictation Of the

year upon the necessities of life, such
as food and clothing, but that the tax
should be removed from the luxuries of
life, such as tobacco and whisky. This
may sound little strange to honest Re

The CLARION.
WHY Is IT sO7
BY FATHER RYAN.

Some find work where some fnd rest,
And so the weary world goes on;
I sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life is gone.
Some ewes sleep when some eyes wake,
And 50 the weary night hours go,
Some hearts beat where some hearts break
often wonder why It's SO.
Some hands fold where other hands
Are lifted bravely in the strife;
And so through ages and through lands
Move on the two extremes of life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tireiess march, thorny way;
Some struggle on where some have fed;
Some seek, when others shun the fray.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils Of the true and brave;
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name above a grave.

ELLEN TERRY's S NOSE.

Ellen Terry's nose is forceful, but it
is not pretty. As matter of fact it is
plain, but it is large, and that denotes
character. 1t is too thick at the end and
too much inclined to be retroussc to be
even passably good looking. 1t belongs
to the dairy maid type of nose common
in rural England. A highstrung, ner-
vous, intellectual woman such as Ellen
Terry should have keen, angular nose,
but as she has managed to achieve fame
without one, the supposition is that in
her case nose doesn't amount to much,
save as an organ of respiration.

pari's nose and upper lip constitute hel
chief facial beauty. She could better
spare her eyes than her youthful nose
It gises her face a sort of pitch forward
contour which at times is most pleasing
but in her intense emotional acting
probably detracts from her power. Tht
Davenport nose is essentially humor-
Gus nose. It is not in the slightest de,

The nose that belongs to the woman

that ever lived in the world ought to be
a striking one, but it must be admitted
that PATHS nose is not beautiful 1t is
large, and it has very graceful sweep
downward from the eyebrows, but it
can hardly be called classic. However,
the nos of Patti is less important than
her throat, though if her nose were
smaller it is questionable whether her
notes would be as clear and resonant as
they are. 1t is to be remarked that the
nose of the diva resembles in striking
degree the nose which the artists give
the celebrated Nine. dc Stael. It is
doubtful whether greater compliment
could be paid the charming little. sin

Statistics Showing the Important PArs
He Plays In Modern Commerce.
Tho chief of the bureau of statistics, Joseph
Nimmo, has made reI ort to tho secretary OF
the treasury on the production of swine in
the United States, and tho transportation,
contemplation, and expectation of hog Fro
ducts, with special reference to tho interdic-
ton of American hog products from France
and Germany. The report Is intended for
transmission to the committee on foreign al
fairs of tho senate in answer to request for
data upon this subject From the statistics
given it appears that the value of hog pro-
ducts exported from this country during the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1888, was $40, $685.
26S, and that 40 per cent. of the total number
of western hogs exported are packed at Chi
cago. The state of Iowa stands first in the
raising of swine; Illinois, second; Ohio, third;
Missouri, fourth; Indiana, fifth; Kansas, sixth;
| Nebraska, seventh; Wisconsin, eight; len
nessee, ninth, and kentucky, tenth.
Mr.. Nimmo says that our unequaled system
| Of internal transportation and low freights,
| in connection with the almost unlimited
capacity of our western and northwestern
states for the production of swine, have built
up this great industry and great trade which
are now seriously affected by the action of the
| governments of Germany and France.
The success of the pork packing business of
the west depends mainly upon the foreign
trade. Any serious obstruction to this trade
must very injuriously affect the agricultural
interests of our western and northwestern
states and the commercial and industrial
interests of the several cities which are
largely engaged in the pork-packing business.
Such distractions must also, in marked
degree, affect the trade interests of the cities
of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Bal
timore, the cities from which hog products
arc chiefly exported.
The report gives in detail the German and
French edicts in regard to American pork
and says Perhaps tho most irritating fea'
ture of the restrictive measures adopted by
Germany regarding American hog products
Is the fact that that country forbids the trans
portation Of such products across her terri
tory in transit and in bond to other countries
Notwithstanding the fact that abundant pro
visions exist throughout Europe for the SO
curity of merchandise so transported ovei
| railroads"
"A history of trichine is given. showing
that it existed in Europe before the importa
ton of American pork, and communication
from the health officers Of large cities ant
other experts are printed in support of thu
assertion that the danger arising from thu
consumption of pork is inilnitesimal. II
. conclusion tables are given showing the valu
of merchandise imported into this country
from Germany and France.
