COUNTY HOME CHILDREN.
Their Christmas to Come-Donations
 Solicited.

Solicited.
 It will be remembered that last year the friends of the children in the County Tempo rary Home, then located at Tyler City, made Q call through the daily papers for donations of toys, books and confectionery for these neglected waifs and there was very gene rous response on the part of the benevolent ly inclined. On Thursday next the children at the "Home," now located at the corner of Shelton avenue and Bassett street, in this city, are to enjoy their combined annual Christmas and New Years festival. In order that they may be successful in their en- deavors to make the occasion an enjoyable one for the children, the managers at the Home would respectfully solicit donations of clothing, dry goods, fruit, confectionery, poultry and toys, and would request that any friends O, the institution having any of the above articles to donate that they may leave them at the County court house in care of Deputy Sheriff Warren, or by notify ing Mr. Warren or Mrs. George R. Cooley, 109 Wall street, articles donated will be called for. Partly worn toys or clothing will be most acceptable. Donors who have articles are requested to leave their names that suitable acknowledgements may be made.

 The Horse Guards held an enthusiastic meeting last evening for the purpose of perfecting arrangements regarding the re- ception to be rendered Governor Harrison and MT. P. 0.

Arrangements will be made for dancing, after the reception formalities. Wheeler & Wilson's band have been engaged for the reception.
 The Sarsfeld Guards at 8 recent meeting discussed the subject of going to Washing ton, D.

A committee on ways and means has been appointed and it is thought the company will attend the competition, which will continue several days during the last of next May.
 The City Guards are actively engaged preparing for their grand masquerade ball which will be held at the armory on Feb. z. Members of the company state that the coming ball will be as magnificent as any they have previously given.

THE dictionary of the English language
which has been in course OF preparation for
the past five years promises to be a notable
work for American scholars. William ID.
Whitney, of Yale college, is at the head of
those who are engaged in the work. A
prominent feature will be its encyclopedia
character. Its definitions will be fuller and
more complete than is customary in works of
this kind (; it will go further into the various
uses and meanings of words, and IN many
cases will give full explanations and de-
scriptious of matters historical, scientific,
legal, mechanical, etc. Quite an army of
persons has been at work for several years
reading standard American and English
books in search of quotations, OF which an
immense number will be used. American
writers, such as Emerson, Lowell, Haw-
thorne, Irving, Whittier, Longfellow,
Holmes, and distinguished scientists, are re-
ceiving special attention. Upwards of
S250,000 will be spent upon it before it is
ready for the public.

Plans OF Represention.

The Republicans are having some dis
cussion over the proposed changes in the
rules governing their party in this state.
At present they are represented in state
conventions upon the old plan of one dele
gate for every senator and every represen.
tative in the general assembly. As recog-
nized by the Democracy four years ago,
when they changed it, this mode of appor-
tionment has nothing in its favor except
tradition. 1t is a senseless and unfair sys-
tenn, and the objections made to its aboli-
ton are without force. These consist
mainly of plea that if the organization IN
minority counties is not given the excessive
and often double and triple representation
it now enjoys all 90 incentive " TO organl-
zation is destroyed. This doctrine Is
as false and fallaCious as 1t is novel.
The proposed changes of the Republican
rules would alsoabrogate the conferree sys-
tenn in judicial, congressional and sena-
torial districts, and aim to establish the
selection of candidates by regular conven-
tions based on popular representation on
the same general principle which is pro-
posed for the state convention. This is
certainly an equitable plan the conferree
system is not. The present method breeds
disturbance, disorganization and very often
allows the minority to rule. At the same
time it is doubtful if a state convention
can legislate for certain localities and dis
tricts which have the right to make rules
for themselves, and some of which have
already established the joint convention
system

Not dozen people in this city could
guess what was in a little cigar box that
William A. Atkins, of Provincetown,
Cape Cod, had under his arm when he
was here. If you saw it on the sidewalk
you would take particular pains to pass
il by, but you would pass by small
fortune. The yellow and unpleasant
looking and unpleasant-smelling stuff is
ambergris of the best quality, and it is
worth more per ounce than gold. It is
found only in the intestines of a de-
ceased whale, and is used in the manu-
facture of fine colognes.
But one vessel this season has reported
a find of this sort, and that is the
schooner Antarctic, of Provincetown. A
whale that she killed in Sanz bay, West
Indies, last April yielded thirty pounds
of ambergris, and it has just arrived
home. It is worth nearly $4,000, and
IS of more value than all the oil the ves-
sci has on board. 1fr. Atkins, who is
the owner of the Antartic and is at the
head of the whaling industry of Cape
Cod, had sample Of it in his cigar
box. As no other ambergris is likely to
be brought home this year he has cor
