and nominated . full county ticket and adopted
republican platform. It is claimed BY the
people of franklin county that this convention
gave birth to. the republican party of the
United States. The claim is disputed, but the
surviving members of the convention assert
that it was the first to formally adopt the name
of republican and distinctively republican
platform. They are celebrating the thirtieth
anniversary today. Mr.. Blaine, accompanied
by Hannibal Hamlin and ex Governor Robie,
arrived at o'clock and we're received with
enthusiastic cheers. Governor Robbie first ad-
dressed the meeting in brief speech. he
caused considerable merriment by calling for
all in favor of Blaine for pre- sident to raise
their hands, when the whole assembly appar-
emily responded; and then for all those in
favor of any one else to raise their
hands, when one man held up his hand amid
roars of laughter, whereupon the governor ex-
claimed, 'May Goa have mercy on his SOUL"
Blaine was loudly called for, and on coming
forward was received with wild applause. He
said: "Fellow citizens, the place and time where
the republican party was first organized will, l
presume, remain like the birth place of Homer,
subject of unending dispute. Seven cities
claimed the latter and seven states may claim
the former. 1t could hardly be doubted that
great thoughts common to the minds of mil
liens of men find expression at the same time
and at places widely separated, but think 1t is
historically true that the patriotic men who met
in this town in 1854 were the pioneers of the
great movement which resulted in the organi-
zation of the republican party, The men
of that day builded better than they
knew, and initiated a movement whose
grandeur and destiny could not then be meas.
ured. Great parties never come by whereas,
and as rule they grow. Parties cannot be
improvised, they come from instinct. and from
the masses Of the people and are not the pro-
duct of political labors. Thus it was with the
federal party; With the old republican party ;
With the democratic party; with the whig party
and With that great party whose existence we
celebrate today. am here to exchange con
gratulations on the spirit and courage of the
party to continue it's great work in the future" )"
Mr.. Blaine's speech was interrupted by ap-
plause and he closed amid great enthusiasm.
Congressman Burroughs, of Michigan, was the
last speaker.

The Highest Award.

Among the brewed beverages of the world the Anheuser- Busch Beer, made by the AnheuserBusch Brewing Associ- alton of St. Louis, Mo, takes the lead. The highest awards have been given this beer over all others wherever exhibited beth in America and Europe notably, at Philadelphia in 1876, at Paris in 1878 and at the Worlds Exposition, Amster- dam, 1883, on which occasion all of the European brewers of note competed for the prize. These facts supported by the popularity of the Anheuser-Busch beer among beer consumers everywhere are indisputable.
 For the convenience of their trade the Associate" has established beer and ice depots ' numerous points throughout the coun y where the dealer may obtain supplies small quantities and avoid the delay lich would be occasioned if compelleS D order direct from St. Louis.

THE MEN WITH THE PIG.
Detroit Free Press

A few days ago two men. who were afterwards found to be Detroiters, arrived in town about fifty miles to the west of this, leading pig. It was perhaps big enough and heavy enough to be called a hog, but they termed it a pig. and as they turned 1t over to the care of the landlord at whose inn they proposed to rest for the night one of the men ex. plained:
 :" Be awful careful with that pig. He's a daisy--a new breed just from Scotland. We've sold him to a farmer out here for $50. and VIC don't want anything to happen to him"
 The landlord locked the pig up and then began to think and cogitate and suspect When the strangers had gone to bed he called in some of the boys and said:
 five twigged the racket; them two fellows are sharpers, and that's a guess ing pig. Tomorrow they will give you chance to guess at his weight at ten cents a guess, and you'll be cleaned out -only you won't. As the fellows sleep we will weigh their pig and beat their game"
 Nobody slept until the pig was taken over to the scales and weighed He pulled down TO pounds to a hair, and the villagers went home and hunted up their nickles and dreamed of pigs and scales and sharpers through the remain der of the night.
 Next morning the pig was led around in front, and before starting off on his nf tk the assembled crowd:
 Gentlemen. I'm going to weigh this pig directly. Maybe some of you would like to guess on his weight? I'll take all suesses at ten cents each, and whoever hits il gets fifty cents"
 This provoked large and selected stock of winks and smiles. but no one walked up until the pig man said that any one person could guess as many tunes as he cared to, provided dime ac- companied each guess. Then a rush SC, Tn. Three or four merchants put up fifty guesses each. A justice Of the peace took thirty. A lawyer said about twenty would do for him. Before there was any let up in the guessing abou, GOO had been registered and paid for. Every soul of 'em guessed at TO pounds. It was curi- ous what unanimity there was in the guessing, but the pig men didn't seem to notice 1t. When all had been given a chance the pig was led to the scales. and 10 his weight was exactly i74 pounds
 You see, gentlemen" explained the spokesman, while the animal only weighs TO pounds along about II o'clock a, night. we feed him about five pounds of corn-meal in the morning before weighing You forgot to take this matter into considerationr'
 Then somebody kicked the landlord, and he kicked the justice, and the justice kicked merchant, and when the pig men looked back from a distant hill the whole town was out kicking itself and throwing empty wallets into the river.

L,fe in Bath in the 18th Century.
English Illustrated Magariae.l


 A visitor, if person of quality, would probably put up at the White Hart (not the present inn of that name, but a hos telry which ssod where now stands the Grand Pump Room hotel), and on the following morning either in pursuit of health, or for the gratihcation of curios- ity, he would betake himself to the baths. If medical advice was required before hand, Dr. Pierce, the great man of the day, would probably be consulted, though as many as twenty-four temporarily resi- dent practitioners competed with this physician of the corporation for the fees of the invalid. Arrived at the bath he would enter ore of the slips the hum- ble ancestors of the present luxurious dressing-rooms-where he would find barely room enough for his clothes: and then under the guidance of one of the sergeants of the bath" he would de- scend into its waters. Alter a stay there of half-an-hour or so, or as much longer as suited his taste (for the bathers of those days seem to have had no fear of the constitutional effect of excessive im- mersion), he would be wrapped in fan- nel, and, unless he had specially engaged one of the rooms adjoining the bath, carried back in a sedan-chAir to his inn or lodging, to dress. The whole busi- ness, as rule, could be concluded by an early hour in the morning (Pepys seems to have risen at 4 am. to take his bath on June B. I66S), and the visitor after having cooled and breakfasted would have the whole day before him. His opportunities of amusement were ample. The royal game of tennis could be enjoyed in the tennis-court, one of the entrances to which was from the queens bath; large racquet-court and fives- court stood immediately outside the west gate: there were bowling g-greens for the grave and leisurely recreation of bowls i: there was fishing in the river and in the moat in the Ham gardens there was a cockpit for the noble-sport of cock-6ght- ing, and buil-ring for the gentle pastime of bull-baiiing. Nor was there wanting food for the enquiring mind. The days of clubs and reading rooms were not yet, but the visitor to Bath was not con- demned to burst in ignorance of what was going on in the greater world of Lon- don. An entry in the eouncil-book re- cords resolution by general consent of the City Fathers that fye-and-twen shillings shall be quarterly paid for a Newsletter to be sent to the Mayor of the city for the tyne heing, and to re- mayne at his house for the publique view of this corporation, the first quarter be- ginning from the sixth day of the present February" And to this ancient fore runner of the piles of "dailies which the 5:3o am. train from Paddington de- livers nowadays each morning at the Bath railway station the visitor, i, seems. was permitted access. The principal promenade of the city was then, as for many years afterwards, the Gravel Walk, now known as Orange Grove, spot com manding fine view of the beautiful val ley to the east, with the hamlet of Bath wick struggling up the hill now covered by the handsome suburb of that name, and the distant church of Bath Hampton nestling amid its coeval trees.

Theatrical.

Each succeeding season adds to Little Rocks importance as theatrical centre. The season just closed has been the brightest and best that this city has yet known and the coming season will, with out doubt, be better than the last. It is not chance tha, has broaght Little Rock to the more favorable notice of theatrical managers it is mainly due to the enter prise of George H. Hyde, proprietor and manager of the Capital Theatre. that the citizens have been favored with more and better attractions during the past season than ever before. The Capital The atre being the only public hall in the city, with auditorium on the ground floor, more favorably located than any other house in the city, with ample means of ingress and egress, en- dorsed by the leading citizens for the ex- cellent provisions made for safe and rapid exit in case of panic, it recommends itself, both to the public and to profes- sionals. During the season just closed many of the best operatic and dramatic combinations on the road have used Hyde's Capital Theatre with the greatest success. Enjoying the perfect confidence of the people, the Capital Theatres audiences feel no apprehension of dan ger from fire or stampede, and a good troupe cannot fail to draw the whole theatre going element of the city. Be tore the next season opens the seating capacity of the Capital theatre will be in- creased, the stage enlarged, new scenery and new dressing-rooms added, making it one of the handsomest, safest and most comfortable houses in the country. Managers of troupes that contemplate southern and western tours, during the next season, should correspond at once with Mir. Hyde.
