that their most conspicuous representative in
the next administration. Mr.. Levi p. Morton,
has played during the whole campaign. Under
any circumstances q candidate for the vice.
presidency occupies position requiring extra
ordinary tact and good judgment There will
be general hereement on the fact that Mr.
Morton has dlrplayed these qualities in o very
high degree. He has not courted prominencc,
but whenever circumstances have compelled
him to act the part Of leader he has shown his
earnestness, eagacity and devotion to the great
principles and American interests involved iu
the campaign. His counsels have been wise. his
influence has been large aud his power for good
has been great,
As presiding officer OF the Senate he will bring
to bear qualities far more important for that
position than ability as . debater or skill in
parliamentary tactics. Experience 10 public
life aud affairs; large knowledge OF the economic
and financial questions that will To dominant;
tho practical sense that long business training
gives. and the natural dignity and courtesy
that made Mr.. Arthur so strong and popular in
the Vice-prssident's ehair-all these aualifica-
tons Mr.. Morton will bring to the discharge Of
his duties.
Last, but not least Mr. and Mira Morton will
fulfill the social functions of their position in q
manner that will reflect credit on the admiuis-
tration and that will command the good will OF
the people, who rightly admire generous, els-
CANT and unosten iatious hospitality on the part
OF high officials whose means are ample.

AN ALABAMA YARN.
A Man Blown to Atoms by Dynamite Alb

sorbed in His System.
Lowry Correspondence In Huntsville Mercury.
A strange occurrence took place near hero
yesterday which will not attempt to explain
Int give you the facts as they are A party of
Birmingham capitalists, largsly interested in
the minerals Of the region. and some promin emit
railroad officials were here on q tour of inspec-
ton with u view OF opening some beds OF iron
ore. and selecting the most practical route for
the extension Of the new railway that leads up
this valley. This, indeed, seems 10 have bsen
the true battle-ground OF the gods with "Pe-
lion piled upon Osss" to tho utter confusion OF
tho biologists, who cannot account for red
iron on one side Of the mountain, brown on
the other, with veins Of coal Immediately
underlying the top on both sides, SO it was de-
termined to leave them out OF the party and
carry along q practical man familiar with the
formations peculiar to this valley for all geolog
ical informant necessary in making an approx
innate estimate OF the amount Of solid and loose
rock to be encountered on the extension. Ac-
cordinely old foreman, Mr.. Merits. who had
been in the valley on the new road since April,
aud had also had large experience in railroadine
in the West was selected. He was an intei-
gent, sober and industrious man, who regularly,
once q month sent the greater part of his earn
iugs to his'vife and children 10 Kansas. He
gave his opinions only after the most careful
examinations, and the gentlemen had implicit
con dence to their accuracy. The party
reached a perpendicular bluff about fifteen feet
high, when Mr.. Merits climbed down to q
ledge about six feet from the top, and with his
hammer, was investigating the character Of
stones and its probable thickness. The gentle
men above heard several blows from his ham
mer, then apparently quantity of rocks fall
ing. and immediately terrific explosion. They
were all considerably shocked, but not otherwise
hurt, and at once went to the edge Of the preci-
pice. where they detected the strong order Of
dynamite. but, to their CONSERVATION. could
nothing OF Mr.. Merits. After careful
search some small pieces of his clothing were
found han sine in tree about thirty feet from the
ground. but shat was all. The question for the
scientists to settle is what caused the explosion.
A number of people from Birmingham have WIS.,
tied the place, but l have heard only one plausi-
BILE theory, and that wss advanced by Mr.
Schultz, scientist. IL is known positively that
Mr.. Msr,z had no dynamite with him, and Mr.
Schultz says the only possible way to account
for the explosion is that be had constantly for q
number of years been handling dynamite and
Ditro-elycerine and that 50 much had been taken
into the system by absorption that IL was only
necessary for him to receive slight jar to set it
of. which was done when he struck the ground

A New Chrysanthemurn-
New York Nail and Express.


The Horticultural Society Of New Jersey
opened, on Wednesday last. q great show Of
chryssnthemums ~ the Harrison-street Rink in
East Orange. But the greatest interest conferred
about eight blooms OF chrsauthemum called
1.-THE Mrs. Alpheus Hardy" and owned by
Msssrs. Pitcher and Mauda. of East Orange.
These remarkable blooms are of the japanese
incurved variety. and have most interesting
history. The plant. with q number of other
chryssrthemums, was sent to Mre. Alpheus
Hardy, Ca Boston, in 1887. by Japanese whom
she had known while be was in this country.
The express charges on the packages were quite
large and Mrs. Hardy offered the plants to
florist if he would pay them. When this par.
ticulsr chrysanthemum bloomed il was found to
be new and beautiful variety. Search in
Japan failed to discover any more Of it's kind
80 the story goes. Mr.. James r. Pitcher, who
is an enthusiast on the subject OF these flowers,
purchased the plant and all the cuttings that
had been made from it from the florist last
April for 81. 500. He believes there are great
possibilities for color in the bloom, and as the
plant is thrifty there is no reason why it should
not have a bloom Of fifteen inches 10 diane ter.
The judges awarded q special prize to the Mrs.
