Contraction.

Il has been feared that dangerous
contraction might result from the with
drawal Of the circulation Of national
banks whose profits on their circulation
have ceased because the bonds upon
which il is based have become redeem
able. II is also feared by some per-
sons that the continued compulsory
2 coinage OF silver may cause gold to dis
appear from the channels of trade orleave
this country, and thereby cause con-
traction of the volume Of the currency.
We had apprehended danger from the
former course rather than the latter I;
but Mr. SENEy, Of Ohio, says that the
apprehension is unfounded. In a speech
which he recently made in the House

Julienne Soup.

/. have just learned the origin of
Julienne soup. At the time of the
French revolution there was a famous
hostelry, called ''Restorator," on Milk
street, Boston. 1t was kept by a
Frenchman named Julien, who first
had the notion of selling food in her
metically sealed cans. On his return
to France he sold his patent to the Cafe
de Paris. The vegetable soup retained
his name.
Simple as it looks, this soup is not so
easy to brew. The stock must be pure
and thoroughly distilled. The herbs
must be fresh and succulent. A bowl
OF Julienne ought to suffice for any
mans luncheon. Corot, the famous
landscape painter, after working hard
the whole forenoon, would have dish
of Julienne brought to him. He de-
lighted to see the cubes of rosy carrot
and the filaments of green asparagus
floating on the amber surface. Mont.

A gentleman in Germantown, Pa.
who was greatly annoyed by colony
of sparrows that had taken up their
quarters in a mass of ivy covering one
side of his house, got rid of them by a
novel expedient. One day he pur-
chased half pound of red pepper, and
going up to the third story, opened the
windows and sifted the pepper down
through the ivy. The alarm of the
sparrows was evinced by the haste with
which they left their hiding places.
Every bird took its departure, and his
premises are now clear of them. .-Phata.

Fashionable Flowers.

What pity it is that any one class
of flowers should become fashionable,
just as if all flowers were not beautiful
in their own way, and far above the
mere chattering patronage of any par
ticular set of admirers. OF all per-
sonal ornaments flowers are the most
precious far too valuable and ever
lasting to. be spoken of in ne same
breath with the productions of the jew
eler or tie milliner, and yet we are told
that orchids are the fashionable bridal
bouquets, because some one or two
daughters of millionar.es carry them.
Very often nothing less graceful OF
more inappropriate could be chosen.
The idea with many seems to be SIM
ply to find the most rare and unique
spec es of natural flowers, independent
OF beauty; if they cost much and are
rare, that is quite sufficient. The over
strained effort always betrays itself,
and orchids were never yet more highly
valued by people of refined taste than
were the wild violet, or the hedge rose.

worth has sung of the orchids as they
have sung of daisies. of daffodils, or OF
the modest snowdrops, but they have
often been cxh bited as the Haunting
decorat ons of those who have no high
er appreciat on of them than that they
were costly and so to some extent the
ensign oil wealth rather than that OF
beauty. 1t is a significant fact that

CHICAGO FLOODED.
The Most Violent and Protracted

CHICAGO, ILL.,, August 2-One of the
most violent and protracted rain-storms

years prevailed here to-day. The storm
began at five O'Clock this morning. All day
long the rain has fallen heavily and inces-

still continues. At five o'clock this after
noon the Clerk of the United States Signal
Office announced that the rainfall had
reached five inches. Ten O'Clock
tonight the total rainfall for
the day exceeded seven inches.
At two O'Clock this afternoon it was found
that the sewers of the city were insufficient
to carry of the large volume of water. The

Virginia Demo cratic Convention.

RICHMOND, VA, July 29.-The Demo-
cratic State Convention assembled at noon.
After organizing and the appointment of
the usual committees the following named
persons were put in nomination for Gov
ernor: General Fitz Hugh Lee, Captain
Phillip W. Mckinney, of Prince Edward; !;
Hon. John E. Massey, of Albemarle; Major
Baker P. Lee, of Elizabeth City. The
nominations were all seconded. A recess
was then taken until $3.50 p. m. Upon the
reassembling of the convention, motion
to call the roll for a ballot for a candidate
for Governor was carried. Roll call was then
proceeded with amid considerable excite
ment. As each county's vote was an
nounced, friends of the candidate for whom
it was thrown received it with more or less
applause. When the call was concluded
General Lee had received over $50 votes,
but before the vote was announced Caro-
line County changed her eight votes (Which
had been cast as a compliment to
General VIM. II. Payne) to General Lee.
This movement was followed by several
other changes, and when it was evident
that General Lee had a number of votes
more than was necessary for a choice (366)
Mr.. Fitzgerald rose and on behalf of Cap
tain Mckinney moved to make General
Lees nomination unanimous, which was
carried amidst the widest enthusiasm,
delegates standing on the seats, waving
hats, fans and handkerchiefs, and shouting
themselves hoarse.

Disastrous Experience of Two Aeronauts

Disastrous Experience of Two Aeronauts
Caught in a Thunder Storm.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, July 3O.-At Win
sted, Conn, a balloon ascension was made
yesterday afternoon by Professor Brooks
and Frederick Moore, a wealthy manufac-
turer of the town. The balloon was the
largest used in the State. 1t was eighty
feet high and 12O feet in circumference,
and was calculated to have lifting ca
pacity of 1,500 pounds. The morning was
fair, but just before the ropes which held
the big balloon to the ground were cut, the
clouds gathered and heavy shower was
threatened. Brooks and Moore entered the
car and gave the word. The cables were
cast off, and instantly the big machine OF
silk and cordage sped up into the air ike a
rifle bullet. The size of the balloon ana its
light load, for others had been expected 70
unusually rapid. All went well until the
aeronauts had reached an elevation of p
600 feet. Although they were above the
clouds they were caught in the storm,
which proved to be the heaviest expert
enced in that part of the State for years.
Becoming terrified by the lightning, they
began to descend and passed through the
cloud in safety, although the balloon suf,
fered from the heavy rain and the gas had
begun to escape. When within 100 feet OF

THE FUNERAL
Great Pr paration for the Grant
Obsequies.
A Line of March which will be Ten Miles
Long.

NEW YoRK, July 31.-General Lloyd As
pinwall, who, as General Bancock's senior
aid, has charge of the formation of the
column on the day of General Grants
burial, the preparation of the routes of
march and the final disposition of the
column, appreciates the magnitude of his
task. At his headquarters, he said to-day
that it was impossible as yet to guess at
the length of the column, because the mum :
bers of the organizations and committees
and dignitaries to take part are not known,
and no attempt has yet been made to classi-
fy or arrange the heterogeneous or
ganizations. After considering the fatigue
consequent on a march of nearly ten miles,
from the City Hall to Manhattanville, it
has seemed wise not to make any attempt
to march back in line either to the City
Hall or to any place to disband. More

ported to possess desirable traits and char
acteristics, to test the claims of such
races of bees as to excellence and to
prove by experiments their value to the
agriculturalists of the United States, and
their adaptation to our climate and honey
producing fora; make experiments in the
crossing and mingling of races, and by
proper application of the laws of breeding
endeavor to secure the type or types best

methods of artificial fertilization; also to
test the various methods of preparing
bees for winter; to gather statistics con-
cerning the bee-keeping industry in the
United States; to make experiments with
and observations concerning varieties OF
honey producing plants for bee forage;
to study the true cause or causes of dis.

Camp Meeting Tragedy.

HIGH BRIDGE, KY, July 29.-The people
at the camp-meeting were severely shocked
this evening, about $3.50 O'Clock, when a
messenger in haste came from Shaker Fer
ry, just below High Bridge, and an
nounced that the Rev. John G. Young, one
of Kentucky's most brilliant and eloquent,
men, was lying dead just on the other side
of the river. The people could scarcely
believe it, for Mr.. Young had been on
the camp-grounds mingling with his
friends only a short while before: A party
went out to investigate, and in Mercer
County, near the Shaker Ferry, they
found this gifted mans corpse lying at
full length on the ground, dead, having
been dead only few minutes. A little
boy. went from the camp-ground with him
to the ferry, and he says all the way down
to the river Mr.. Young talked very wildly
about swimming riding, etc. The ferryman
was very much excited at his wild ways
and talk. He said to the ferryman he was
going to friends. Then he said, again,
he was going to Shakertown. When he left
the boat, the ferryman sent word to some
men near by of how Mr.. Young was acting.
They then went in search of him, and found
him in an unconscious state, and he never
afterwards spoke word. His friend,
Mr.. Joe Mcdowell, came up before he
ognize him. In his pockets was found a
bottle that had been filled with laudanum,
thirty five cents in money and watch
chain. His gold watch was gone. A
stranger was with him when Mr.. Mcdowell
came up. The stranger said nothing about
the watch, but told those present that he
had already telegraphed for Mr.. Young's
family, and then came up to the
bridge.g A reporter then returned
to the bridge, and found the stran;
ger who had the watch in his
| pocket, but refused to give it to any one
excepting Mrs. Young. He says that Mr..
Young pulled off the watch and gave it to
him to keep. The man appeared to
be drinking, and his story and actions
about the watch look rather bad, and the
camp-meeting police took him in charge
temporarily. The untimely death of this
brilliant man has cast gloom over the
| camp meeting.
