-Lehighton would be much benefited
by the adding Of several new manufactur-
ing industries TO those already in opera
ton. It is to the interest of all who have
money invested in the town to keep up
continual boom. The more boom the more
business, and the better everything will be
for all classes.
Our young friend Milton Walk, who by
the way is popular and successful Frank

Monday a rye stalk measuring seven feet
five inches and three-quarters. If there are
any OF our numerous agricultural friends
who can beat this we would like 'em to
stalk out.

HOV About the County Convention
Will IL Come Here ? IF Not,
Why Not9
FAVORABLE EXPRESSIONS FROM WELL
KNOWN DEMOCRATS.

The announcement last week in this
journal that Lehighton wanted the next
Democratic county convention created quite
stir in certain political circles. Although
there is no legitimate reason why IL should +;
Lehighton asks for the convention on the
ground of deserving it by reason of its large
Democratic majority, it's unquestioned
facilities and accommodation to successful
ly entertain such large body of Carbon
county's Democracy. In our magnificent
new opera house ON the corner of Bank and
Iron streets the Democracy could assemble,
make their resolutions and nominate their
candidates without being disturbed by the
whistling and shrieking of locomotives and
the rumbling Of wagons oyer paved streets.
What do you say? Will you come? We
will receive you right and our accommoda-
tions will afford you ample entertainment.
There is no town in the county better suit
ell for convention purposes than this, a
visit will conclusiYely demonstrate this tact.
Many of the most prominent Democrats
have announced their preference; a number
Of which now follow: Ex-sheriff Jake
Raudenbush heartily fayors bringing the
convention here.
I. ID. Clauss, a leading Democrat, deems
such action commendable. We ought to
have the convention.
o. A. Clauss, a young and influential
Democratic citizen, ''sees no reason why
the convention should not come here; in
other counties 1t is not confined to the
county seat. Our large Democratic vote
should also be considered. It is very con-
Venient too, for delegates from all parts Of
the county.
The Lehighton Democracy is always en-
thusiastic and there is no doubt but that the
holding of the convsntiOn in our town will
make them more so than ever. It would
also prove satisfactory to all the delegates.
Let us haYe the convention here, by all
means.

Pension of Soldiers widows.

Congress has just enacted that pensions
heretofore or hereafter granted to widows
of soldiers Of the Var of the Rebellion shall
begin at the date of the death of their hus
bands. This legislation favofably affects
all claims of widows filed in the Pension
Office on or after July l, 1880, and which
have been allowed to begin from the date
of filing the claims; but will not faYorably
affect the eases Of such widows as were
filed before July l, 1880, and which have
been allowed, pension having already been
granted in those cases from the date of
their husbands death. The Commissioner
of Pensions gives notice that in the settle
ment of claims, under this law, already
allowed, no formal application will be re
quired and that the services of attorneys
will not be necessary. Widows entitled un-
der this law need only write letter giving
name. post-office address and certificate
number, and the claims will be allowed
with as little delay as practicable.

In consequence of recent disor-
derby scenes in the New South Wales
Parliament, the Government intend
to propose new procedure rules, one
of which will provide that any mem
Der guilty of assaulting another in
the chamber shall be expelled and
rendered ineligible for reelection for

A hurricane swept over the Samoan
and Tongan groups in February.
1t was worse in the latter, where
several small vessels were driven
ashore and ten lives lost. The Ger
man warships Olga and Adler were
lying at Apia, Samoa, when the
storm set in. Both got up steam and
prepared for sea in case of emer-
gency, but they were enabled to ride
out the storm at the anchorage.
Sandfy or Falcon Island, which
was recently discovered off the
Tongan group, has become active,
and in February and the beginning
of March it was ejecting great guam
titles of ashes. The sight at night is
described as surprising in brilliance
that of other volcanoes in the South
Seas. The new island is situated in
lat. 20 deg. 19 min. south, long. It's
deg. 81 min. west. 1t is 164 feet above
the level of the sea and II miles long,
extending north west and southeast.
The Culebros Reef which was re-
ported in the vicinity of the island
does not exist, the American warship
Mohican having passed over the po-
sition marked on the chart without
observing any trace of broken water.

81 am more than pleased to meet

Lake Superior's Water.

"How cold the dark water of Lake
Superior is' says Frank Wilkeson
in the New York Times "One even
ing, when we were steaming across
the lake, I asked the mate was done
when a man fell overheard. He
coolly replied: Nothing"
"Why!" | asked, astonished at his
heartlessness.
"The water of Lake Superior is SO
cold that man can not live in it
during the time it takes to stop
rapidly moving vessel and lower
boot" he replied. Then he added:
81 have sailed on this lake for
twenty years. During that time
have known many men to fall off
vessels. | know of one man only
who escaped death. He was saved
by scratch. The others wese APP
parently killed by the shock produc-
ed by falling into such cold water"
He picked up an empty can to
which a long string was attached
and cast it overheard. The can
skipped from the crest of one wave
to that of another for an instant,
then dipped and filled. The hoary-
headed mate drew the full can up
and handed it to me, saying: "Take
a drink of that, and then say what
you think of your chances of swim
ming in Lake Superior for ten or
fifteen minutes" I drank deeply
and it was though ice flowed down
my throat.
"It is alleged" the mate said,
"that this lake never gives up its
dead, that to be drowned in Lake
Superior is to be buried for all time.
l do not know whether this is true
or not, but L do know that l have
never seen a corpse floating on the
the lake" | wonder if that is true?
| doubt it, but l could find no sailor
who had ever seen a dead body
floating on the lake.
