YEsTERDAY,s CONVENTION.

The convention at Hartford yesterday was a very harmonious one, and although not as lively as conventions have been was decided ly interesting. It was well presided over by Senator Platt. His address was strong one. Perhaps the part which attracted most atten- ton was that devoted to the temperance question. Senator Platt declared himself to be prohibitionist, but because all the mem bers of the Republican party are not prohi= bitionists he did not intend to run amuck and kill all his friends and the cause of tenn perance we'll. He continued: As a tenn perance man my contest is with the enemies, not with the friends of temperance legis'.a tion. My contest is with the Democra .,c not with the Republican party. ..egret that any sincere friend of temperance shonld he so far led astray as to a.sssfst the Democratic party or accept assistance from it. Political prohioltlon cannot kill the Republican party. Even if it could elect Democratic otc"".ee ticket, Democratic legislature and Democratic United States senator, it would not have killed the Republican party, but it would have sadly wounded the temperance reform. Sooner or later I am sure men who like myself desire ultimate prohibition will see this.
 The ticket nominated is one which all good Republicans can and will heartily support. Its head, the Hon. Phineas 0. Lounsbury of Ridgefeld, is known as man of ability and character. Two years ago he was a strong candidate before the convention, and took his defeat so well that he made many new and strong friends among the Republicans of the State. This year his entrance into vic tory was an Abundant" one, and he and his active supporters have reason to feel pleased with their success. He is safe man.
 James L. Howard, the nominee for Lieu tenant Governor, is prominent manufac- turer in Hartford. He is man of fine pres enee and has the respect of all who know him. He will add strength to the ticket.
 Hon. l.. NJ. Hubbard, of Wallingford, is perhaps the best known man on the ticket. He was postmaster of Wallingford for several years, and is the judge of the borough court. He is very popular man and has warm friends in all parts of the State.
 Colonel Alexander Warner of Pomfret, who received the nomination for Treasurer, has a good war record, and is a prominent agricul-' turist.
 : Hon. Thomas Clark, of North Stonington, the nominee for Comptroller, has been a member of the house and senate, and was one of Governor Buckingham's most efficient assistants during the war. He is manufac- turer and strong man.
 The platform is skillfully constructed one. It contains good deal of sound Re publican doctrine presented in plain and forcible way.

La FOntaine,s Fables.


 It was not till La Fontaine had reached his forty-eighth year that he published his first installment of fables, consisting of the first six books. Hitherto he had only shown the fine quality of his literary gen jus. In the 'FContes," published three years before, he had appeared as the sue cessor of the medieval writers of fabiaux and prose romances, and of their descend ants, the joyous children of the early Re naissance, Rabelais and Marot, Desperiers and Marguerite of Navarro; in his miscella- neous pieces he had taken up the note which Voiture had first sounded in French iteIa- ture, that note of delicate wit and graceful persidage which was destined to take the place of the old esprit gaulois; but as yet he had done nothing to show that he was en- gagged in the same work as his great contem- poraries, as Moliere and Racine, La Roche foucauld and La Bruyere; that he, like them, had found that ''for man the most in- teresting study is man." that he, like them, was preparing to hold mirror up to his age, through which all succeeding generations might look. It was not then till the mature age of forty y-seven, the age at which Milton thirteen years before had begun to write Paradise Lost," that La Fontaine found where his true strength lay; and the marked superiority of his later fables shows that even yet he was working with somewhat of a prentice hand. It was not till ten years later that his genius shone out in it's full bright ness, that the world learned the full capabil- ities of that apparently simple thing, the fla

How Parsons Escaped.

CHICAGO, June 23.-The crowd seeking
admittance into the Criminal Court
building this morning was larger than
usual. The state accepted James H.
Cole, and he is the first juror chosen. He
is locomotive fireman and was an officer
in the Union army. Mr. Grinnell, the
states attorney, said: "The counsel on
the other side have given us one surprise
by producing Parsons in court. Are you
going to produce Schnaubel here ais OF
"No, sir" answered Captain Black,
"the trial is too far advanced for that" :"
Schnaubel is the alleged bomb-thrower.
The questioning then again proceeded, but
the session closed without any material
progress having been made.
An interesting account OF the move
ments of Anarchist Parsons after the
Haymarket riot was published to day.
1t appears that as soon as the fatal bomb
Exploded Parsons leaped from the wagon
and ran to his home. His wife urged
flight. By morning he was on the Rock
Island train with ticket To Omaha. Ills
disguise was thorough Parsons hair
and moustache are iron gray in color, but
personal vanity had led him long before
to the use OF 2ark dye. Before his flight
he removed the dye from his hair and
muustAche. The result was thorough
change in appearance. On reaching
Omaha Parsons went directly to the home
Of the Nebraska Anarchists. He remained
near Omaha until Friday last, when
yielding to the advice of Captain Black
he started for Chicago. His beard dur
ing his absence covered his face, anG
when he appeared before his wife sh,
scarcely knew him. After taking Dime
with friend he took cab f9r the cTimi
inal Court
