CHIoAGo's CONVENTION.
The Electric Lights Turned on for the
First Time.

First Time.
CHICAGO, June 12.-To-night the 5000
electric lights in the great hall of the repub-
lican national convention were turned on
for the first time. The long streamers of
red, white and blue bunting, not yet fully in
place gave a picturesque aspect TO the
whole, taking attention away from
the thousands of empty chairs that
stretched skyward on all sides. Scarcely
100 people were within the mammoth
amphitheater to witness the illumination.
Powell Clayton OF Arkansas, John G.
New of indianapolis, and Cyrus Leland, Jr e,
of Kansas, are the latest arrivals. The
others present are Messrs. Clarkson and
Conger.
THE PRESIDING OFFICERS.
The point made clear is the probable
selections for presiding officers of the con-
vention. Who would be chosen for tenn
porary chairman and who for permanent
has up to thib evening been the deepest sort
Of a mystery. 1t is now pretty certain, ap-
parently, that one of the officers will be
Senator Warner Miller of New York and
the other John NJ Thurston, who heads the
delegation from Nebraska. Should
Senator Miller be chosen for the
temporary Craftsmanship, Mr.. Thurston will
be made the permanent president, and vice
versa. There is some mention of Senator
George +. Hoar of Massachusetts for one of
the two places, but the talk of him appears
to lack defniteneSs. Both Mr.. Thurston
and Senator Miller are described as men Of
fine presence, big voice and able parlia-
mentarians

A Box on the Ear.

One Of BrowniDg's most beautiful and

yesH imbecile from the effects Of that
blow. II would be well, we think, for
every parent, and for all those having
children on their hands to commit these
verses TO memory, and to put the lesson
in practice; for the injury done to chill
dren by the quick and careless box on
the ear that is thought nothing of at the
time is something incalcnlable. 1t is i'm
possible b hit q tender child a blow upon

doing an evil and unseen work, even
