A FlOWer-Bel Clock.

The Judges house was over in the
French quarter of New Orleans, unat-
tractive outside, but as soon as you got
into the broad hall q cool breeze struck
you. laden. without exaggeration, with
the balm of a thousand flowers. The
hall led right through the house and
opened into q regular fairyland OF fow-
,rs-a garden the like of which l had
never dreamed of. It was surrounded
by high wall, and had plants in it
from every country under the sun. The
white-haired old gentleman, and a
group Of grandchildren hanging about
him took us about, and the first thing
we stopped at was large oval plot set
out with small plants around the edge,

pair of hands, of wood. covered with
some beautiful vine; but they had MOTH
ing, however, to do with the time-tell-

The plan was this: The Judge had
noticed that almost every hour In the
day same plant bloomed, and working
on this principle he had selected plants
of different hours and placed them in q
circle, twenty-four in number, one for
every hour. For example at the top of
the earthen clock. at - o'clock, was
planted the portulacca, and he told me
It would bloom within ten minutes OF 12

LENNON
The presentation OF the flag by the la
dies of Lennox to the G. A. K. boys OF
Colonel Elsworsh Post was a grand af-
fair. The meeting was called to order by
Commander Gray, and opened by the
Hurley Band playing ''Red, White and
Blue, followed by vocal music furnished
by BIC. Jacobs, entitled ''March, the
starry flag is O. 'er u.s. followed by very
appropriate and pretty speech by Miss
Jessie Gray, who presented that no
Bile emblem to the chaplain OF the post.
The chaplain accepted that banner around
which, so many haloed memories were
clustered, in a very touching speech,
pledging to the ladies their word as sol
.diers that so long as member of Colonel
Ellsworth post remained it would be gal
,lantly defended This was followed by a
song, "No flag but the old flag" Com
rade Best then made few appropriate
remarks, followed by the song, Let me
hold it till 1 die,'' ''Star Spangled BAN
| ner',' by the band, and vocal music. At
the request of the commander the band
played our choice quick step. The pro
ceeds of the evening netted $25, after
which all hands went down town and

It seems strange that the Yankton
Press, always outspoken in favor Of a uni;
fcation of the South Dakota forces, and
one of the most thoroughly loyal journals
a few months ago in opposition to the
Bismarck capital steal, should now be
supporting Raymond, North Dakota
man whom the Bismarck Journal Aaunts
as the one necessary to retain the capi-
tai at Bismarck. !" If the Yankton Press
wishes "unifcation,' they are certainly
assuming an adverse position in the con-
summation process now being ATTEMPTED
by the South Dakota newspapers.

Outside of the support that will go
to McMasters from his district in the
Black Hills, there seems to be no outspok-
en- opposition in South Dakota to
Judge Clifford for delegate. There is al
50 strong probability that McMasters
will divide Raymond's vote IN the north,
which in conjunction with the rancor of
the opposing factions in the Grand Forks
district will surely down Raymond. Mel.

while the balance of South Dakota will
furnish diversified support, presumably
and expectantly to South Dakota man.

Ben Butler has finally unfolded to the
gaze of the open-mouthed public his let
of acceptance of the greenback and anti.
monopoly nominations for the presidency.
AS would be expectant the effusion Of the
cock-eyed knight of destiny is uniquely
exhaustive. treating of the current issues
in manner that at least does not lean to-
ward the series of campaign mystifca-
tions characterizins the speeches, utteranc-
les and letters of the democratic leaders.
Butler stands strongly on the plank of Ia
Dor reform, and although but slightly
criticizing rebublicanism, deals unmerctul-
lv with the democracy, factor that will
increase the troubles of Cleveland and his
party more than is now openly apparent.
Ben has war paint infused into his
blood, and there is fun ahead for the oft
mistaken democracy.

Blaine's prompt action in bringing Ii
bol against the indianapolis Sentinel for
SANDER is the subject of tho most general
congratulation. The Sentinel has made
it an issue to vilify every republican can
didate for the presidency, but the charge
against Blaine was so utterly false and ia
bricated the same could not be rated as
campaign SANDER, and Blaine has taken
prompt measures to prove the anlmus
and utter faIsity of the insinuations. In
the meantime the licentousness of Cleve-
land has not yet been denied, and the
waning democracy find their reform figure

tentous character.

AYERS

youth, faded or gray hair to natural, rich
brown color, or deep black, as may be desired.
By its use light or red hair may be darkened.
thin hair thickened, and badness often,
though not always, cured.
1t checks falling Of the hair, and stimu-
lates weak and sickly growth to vigor. 1t
prevents and cures scurf and dandruff, and
heals nearly every disease peculiar to the
scalp. AS a Ladies' Hair Dressing, the
V1aoR is unequalled; it contains neither oil
nor dye, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mr.. c. P. BR1cHER writes from Kirby, o.,
July 8, 1882: Last fall my hair commenced
falling out, and in n short time | became
nearly bald. / used part of bottle of
AYERS HAIR VrGoR, which stopped the fall
ing of the hair, and started new growth.

ously and am convinced that but for the
use of your preparation should have been

(Ohto) Enquirer, says (" AYERS HAIR VIGoR
is a most excellent preparation for the hair.
speak of it from my own experience Its
use promotes the growth of new hair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The V1GoR is also
sure cure for dandrutf Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give entire satisfaction"
MIR. ANGUS FAIRBAIRN, leader OF tho
celebrated Fairbairn Family" of Scottish
Vocalsts, writes from Boston, JIdss., Feb. 6,
1880: Ever since my hair began to give sill
very evidence of the change which heeting
time procureth, have used AYERS HAIR
VtGoR, and SO have been able to maintain
an appearance of youthfulness "a matter of
considerable consequence to ministers, ora
tors, actors and in fact every one who lives
IN the eyes of the public"
Mrs o. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 1s Elm
St., Chdrfesto,cn, Mass, Aprn IA, 1882, says: !:
"Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair
came Off. 1t thinned very rapidly, and was
fast growing bald. On using AYERS HAIR
VIGOR the falling stopped and a new growth
commenced, and in about month my head
was completely covered with short hair. 1t
has continued to grow, and is now as good as
before it fell. Iregularly used but one bottle
of the VIGoR, but now use it occasionally as
dressing"
We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to the efficacy of AYERS HAIR VIGoR. It
needs but a trial to convince the most skepti.
cal of its value.

The Lincoln county convention will be
held at this city on Saturday, September
Is, at . clock p. NJ, for the purpose OF
selecting eight delegates to the Pierre con-
vention. 1t is recommended that the pri-
maries hold their caucuses on on the Wed
nesday preceding the county convention.
There has been some adverse criticism as
to the advisability of holding the conven-
ton but four days prior to the territorial
convention, but the committee have ap-
pointed a certain day for the convention
and they in their wisdom have thus exc
ecuted an act beyond recall of the people.
1t is perhaps best that the convention has
been called at date that will allow the
farmers to get out to the caucuses, so
taking all things into consideration all is
for the best.
Under the re- organization of the legis-
latlve districts of Dakota, this district is
without central committee, and there
seems to be some difficulties as regards a
way out of the dilemma. THE ADVOCATE
would favor the scheme of allowing the
legislative committeeman of Union, Clay
and Lincoln, irrespective Of their former
districts, to move in the matter, believing
the county central committees to have no
jurisdiction whatever in the matter Of a
legislative ccmmitte apportionment.

containing the validity, popularity, unfair
nished record and thorough acquaintance
throughout the broad territory Of Dakota
to become a formidable candidate for dele
gate to congress, his home counties and
those surrounding that constitute the
district should rally to his support. In
domain so excessively mammoth as the
circumscribed boundary of Dakota, a local
candidate is soon lost sight of within the
confines of his own county limits, but in
the advocacy of Judge Clifford there ap-
pears the undisputable return of favorable
mention from all over the territory, the
aggressive and selfish northerners, even,
being compelled to acq uiesce to the state
ment as to the form idablencss of south
eastern Dakota.
To sum the whole matter into COM

EATEN BY RATs.-A dispatch from Phla'
delphia says: A mystery somewhat similar
to the Carlton Hotel horror has been devel-
oped here. Pier No. 8 South Wharves is
used by Cope Brothers, shipping merchants
at No. l Walnut street, as landing place
for the vessels operated by the firm. About
twenty-five or thirty feet from the water is
a small one story frame shanty about fifteen
feet long by ten in width. The place has
not been used for some time. Friday morn
ing one of the firm of Cope Brothers, seeing
that the weather was gradually getting
colder, sent one of his employees, Shreve D.
Smith, young man, down TO the
wharf for the purpose of letting the
water out of boiler there. Just as he was
STOPPING to oven the valve which would al
low the water to flow out, his feet kicked
something on the floor, and reaching down
he felt the leg of human being. He was
overcome with fright and made bolt for
the door, bursting it off its hinges. Word
was at once sent for the Coroner, and the
body, which was that of man apparently
about fifty years, was taken to the morgue
The body had evidently been lying in the
shaniy for some time, as the flesh on several
parts of the body was eaten away by the
rats. The arms were folded across the body,
and the flesh from the tips of the fingers up
to above the elbows was eaten ofclear to the
bone. The legs, from the tops of the rough
leather shoes up to the knees, were also de-
void of flesh. The head, which at one time
was covered with thin growth of gray
hair. was heshless and the features were
totally unrecognizabe. A search through
the pockets of the clothing brought to light
nothing which would thrown any light on
tho question as to who the man was.
