THE TICKET.

The Democrats of Belmont county held
their convention yesterday at St. Clairsville.
Il is hardly necessary to say they did good
work. The ticket from one end to the other
is TIP top. One excellent feature about tits
that in every case the office sought the man,
rather than the man the Office. The
two gentlemen who are to represent
Belmont at Columbus next fall
, seek the nomination and were miles
, ~ when it wss made. Hon. Ross J.
ALExAxDER is so well known that no word
|, Of c~ommendstion is necessary. 1t is enough
70 say his ability and Democracy are OF a
rich quality and Nil bear the test Of rigid
scrutiny. His conrree, JoHS W. LAUGH
LIN, ESQ, is from the other end Of
the county and is not so well
known heresbOuts, but nevertheless
he is nan Of excellence and worth AMI
Will make a strong candidate on the ticket.
Mgssrs. JAS. B. RYAN for Treasurer, Owen
MEHAy for County Commissioner, JAS.
Coos for Infrmsry Director and ISAIAH
NICHOLS for Surveyor, complete the ticket,
and the REGISTER doubts not but witha
good and strong pull and all together it is
ds-E 10 be victorious.
The gentlemen who we're called but not
chosen should remember that the fate Of
war is as tickle as q maid, and that because
they were not selected as the standard bear
ers on this occasion by the Democracy, is
no reason why they were not fully capable
and deserving. Nor is it any reason why
thew should stand back. Genuine Ohio
LGcy is not of that sort OF stuff.
IS its defeat mantully picks its flint
aud at it again. That is what we predict
in this instance. The defeated aspirants
viii work ike beavers for the ticket and
when the next convention day pine round,
they win set their stakes for the honors and
no doubt the bird that was too far of for
their aim on the former occasion will qCick-
" drop at the FIRST FIRE at the next effort.

The White Mountain Hammock Chair
differs from all other stationary or reclining
chairs in that it is better, stronger and simp-
,er, is adapted to the house, lawn, porch or
camp, and is Just chuck full of quiet com
tort and blessed rest. Is far superior to the
hammock in every way, and can be put up
soas to be always in the sha le.
By Its peculiar construction it is balanced
IN al positions, requiring no ~fastenings to
keep it in place. The ~foot-rest can be
quicklysnd easily adjusted to suit the short
est or tallest persons. The seats made OF
strong canvas, fitting perfectly the entire
length, without drawing the clothing tightly
around the body, thus making it much
cooler than 8 hammock; while the annoy

Passing Two Trains on the Same
Track.

l was on mule train once going up to
a mining camp. We were circling about
mountain when we met another train
coming down. The road was just bit
of ledge in the mountain side, and was
plenty wide for one wagon, but not quite
wide enough for two. But the mule
whackers knew just what to do, and lost
no time in doing it. They got out their
pine blocks, pulled the head wagons
close together, set the brakes on one, and
put blocks under the wheels of the other.
Then they started the mules up, and
pulled the hubs of one wagon right over
the hubs of the other. The inside wagon
was tight asin the rocks, while the tires
of the outside wheels on t'other one
were within half an inch of the edge of
the precipice. 1t did my heart good to
see those mules pull The whole six of
'em would squat little, tighten them
selves in their collars, and pull gently,
steadily together -steadier nor six men
could have done it. Why, those mules
knew just what they were doing, and
they knew just as we'll as anybody that
if they gave jerk and slipped wheel
over the edge the whole concern, mules
and all, would be 1000 feet down the
gorge in jerk of lambs tail. Huh
after hub and wagon after wagon the
work went on, and that's the way W.
pass two trains on the same track ou

A Queer Duel.

Old Col. s., of Wisconsin, was an
odd genius, a queer compound OF comic
seriousness. Replete with jokes, both
original and selected, he was not slow in
hashing them up and dealing them out
in small doses to different customers on
different occasions.
One evening, at party, young gen
tleman, upon whom the colonel had told
some joke, feeling himself insulted, chal-
lenged the colonel to mortal combat.
The challenge was accepted.
Having the choice of weapons and the
appointing of the place of meeting, the
colonel told the young man to repair, the
following morning at six o'clock to GER
tain spot, and added 's:fhat he would see
that the weapons were there
The following m morning. at the. indica-
ted time, the young man repaired to the
indicated spot-said spot being among
the lead mines, was naturally furrowed
with mineral holes.
''Well, yeungster, ;, said: the colonel,
sticking his hands in his pockets, and
ejecting superfluous quantity of tobacco
juice from his capacious mouth, care
you ready?"
Receiving an affirmative answer, he cor

Paid the Debt.

The following true incident was pub
lished by the local papers years ago, but
being true, and having been crushed to
earth, rises again:
In Van Buren, there once lived an old
gentleman of the name of John Bostick.
He kept hotel and was also proprietor
of blacksmith shop. A well-known
minister, Rev. MIR. Buchanan, who always
put up with Bostick. met the hotel man
on the street one day, after having staid
all night with him, and said:
"Well, Uncle John, how much do
owe your
ssOwe me for what, Brother Buck2"
'sWhy, you know have staid all night
with YOU"
eyes, Brother Buck, but you know
that never charge preachers.
81 know that, Uncle John, but had
my horse shod."
'"Brother Buck, I never charge 6
preacher for shoeing his horse. !"
81 don't want work done for nothing, ,
said the preacher.
swell, Brother Buck, just remember
me in your prayers.
Cali right, Uncle John, but as have
always adhered to the rule of never leav
ing place in debt, get down on you
knees and we'll have prayers right now.
The two men knelt on the sidewalk
and the debt was paid. -Arkansas Trau
