A H1ND00 JEWELER AT WORK.

One Of may companins, having
made a bargain with the smith,
handed him three English dorins
which he desired to have manufac-
tured into one bangle of the choicest
East Indian design and workman
ship. The coolie man heated the
coins, cut them into narrow pieces,
of which he welded the ends to-
gether, using hammer and anvil,
thus making a bar four or five in
ches long, and, as | remember, two
or three inches in width and thick
ness. Covering one end of this
strip Of metal with damp clay, to
protect his fingers from the heat,
the bangle-maker stuck the silver
into the diminutive charcoal fire,
which he set aglow by blowing
through a tube similar in appear
ance to glass-blower's pipe. When
the metal was at a dull red heat he
beat it soundly, forging it round
and smooth to the diameter of tel
egraph wire; then, carefully bend
ing it in a circle, Joined the two
ends, welding them together neatly
and with dispatch. This done, and
the joint having been covered with
a rough mass of hot silver fash
ioned into a ball of the size of a
small cherry, the Hindoo held out
the half-6nished trinket for our in
spection and approval He next
smoothed and polished the surface
of the ball by hammering; then he
graved and stamped it with various
dies, cutting simple, conventional
patterns of irregular design. Next,
having selected a small silver ser
pent from an assortment of ready
made devices and charms which he
kept in cocoanut shell. he plunged
it into the fire and blew through
his blow-pipc until the cobra be-
came blood red. Pinching the rep
tiles tail between bits Of moist clay
the Hindoo drew it from the fire,
and, before it lost its angry hue,
deftly cork-screwed the emblem of
Immortality around the wire Of the
bangle in four complete coils, all
the time tapping the snake here and
there gently with his mallet, in this
wav fastening it securely in its
place. Plunging the ornament into
a calabash of coacunut oil, he waited
till the serpent ceased kissing, and
the Indian bracelet was then ready
to be clasped on the wrist Of whom
soever the gallant gentleman had
in his mind when he found it in his
heart to give the order for it,

the Cribees," by William Agnew

you the hare" Still another crowd
came, and they were asked as to
their identity. ave are the neigh
bors of the neighbors of the man

then set before them some clear
water, and then they asked, "What
is this?" ''It is the sauce Of the
sauce of the cooked hare," replied
the hodia.

JENNY L1ND's HOME LIFE.

The daily life of Jenny Lind in
London was extremely simple.
Every morning, at 7:30 o'clock,
there were family prayers. At these
not only her husband, Mr.. Gold
schmidt, and her three children,
but the servants, assisted. When
breakfast was over she habitually
retired to her room on the second
floor, and, seated at her writing
desk, opened and answered her nu-
merous letters. Her room, which
looked out on beautiful garden,
was simply furnished. The most
notable piece of furniture in it was
a large screen, which had, pasted
over it's entire surface, newspaper
clippings from all parts of the
world eulogistic Of the great singer.
Next to Jenny Lind's room, con-
nected by door covered with por-
there's was the room of her husband.
In it stood a grand piano, and often
Mr.. Goldschmidt played on this
instrument at night until his wife,
who was nervous at times, was, by
his performance, lulled to sleep.
The family sat down to lunch at l
o'clock. Jenny Lind was a mod
crate eater and fond of simple Gu
isene. In the afternoon she took a
walk when the weather was fine,
and, purse in hand, distributed
aims to the poor whom she met.
When she came home she taught
her select circle of pupils, and at 7
o'clock she sat down to dinner.
She never went to theatres, balls or
operas. She went to hear Patti
sing once, but she left the hall be-
fore the performance was over, say
ing that Patti could act but she
couldn't sing. She was rather SEN
sitive on the subject of her rivals.
She attended not long since gar
den party, given by the Lady Bur-
dett-Coutts. In the course of con-
versation a gentleman speaking of
Christine Nilsson, called her the
Swedish Nightingale" Instantly
there sprang up from a seat close
by, an aged, thin woman, who
pointed her finger at the speaker,
and exclaimed in a voice quivering
with rage: "You are wrong, sir,
you are grossly wrong; l am the
Swedish Nightingale / am Jenny
Lind !"
She liked to read aloud in the
evening, or she chatted about her
triumphs to her favorite pupils.
Though she possessed magnificent
Jewels she never wore them. She
was exceedingly fond of her hus-
band, though they had disagree
ments at times and she always said
that it was owing to Mr.. Gold
schmidt's management that she
was in such easy financial circum-
stances. She brought up her chill
dren we'll. Her son Walter is
lawyer; her son Ernest is an officer
in the army; her daughter Jennie
was married to J. H. Maude. She
spent her summers partly at Weis-
baden and partly in Kainzenbad.
At Weisbaden, whittier she went to
take the baths for her rheumatism,
she lived at her own villa.-Woman

AQGata Constitution.
For the first time in many years the
Democratic party and the Republican
party are to 20 before the people of the
country on distinct and decided tariff
issue. The campaign which is soon to be
inaugurated will be one of the most active
and closely contested of all those in which
the Democratic party has ever participa-
ted. The Republicans occupy, practically,
the same ground that they have held for
many years. The Democrats are shifting
their position, and instead of attacking the
enemy from the rear, are TO chsrge the
'front.' In O dashiDg and desperate onslaught.
Democratic victory this time means the
efectual and everlasting defeat of the Re-
publican party, which, realizing the i'm
portanee Of its stake, will contest every
inch Of ground, and contend for its only
hope Of salvation in the bitterest fight
which it has ever made.
What is the duty Of the Democracy?
IL is true that there are differences Of
opinion as to the policy by which the party
should be guided, but the final orders will
be issued by the National Convention,
which assemblies at st. Louis. This Con-
vention Will represent the Democracy of
the country, and on the united obeyanceo OF
its commands depends the success of the
party. On its platform every true Demo.
crstimust stand. 1t is true that there will
be some who will disagree as to the pro.
priety of the stand which it take on certain
issues. 1t would be most unusual thing
for every element of any party to unite in
sentiment on all issues Consequently,
the wisest and best thing to do is for the
minority to yield to the majority, and
make up in action what it lacks in senti-
ment.
The SUCCESS of the Democracy is first
above all things, and any Democrat who
witholds his assistance in bringing about
such result is recreant to his duty to his
party. The tariff is small thing when
compared with other great and vital issues
at stake, and no Democrat should be will
ing, because he differs with the policy OF
the party on one issue, to lend his aid to
its overthrow.
Let every Democrat do his duty and
there will be no occasion to regret the re-

Tha Standardization has maintained the

the world without any display of spread

The policy which has been maintained
in the treasury department has been emf

r.osivsd the warmest COMMUNICATION of
even political opponents Economy has
been enforced and the peoples money care
fully guarded. The practice Of favOritism

banished from the army.
The system Of corrupt contracts and
wsstsful extravagauees in repairing rotten
sbiDs or accepting those which do not COM
ply with the terms of contracts no longer
prevails in the navy department. A con-
siderable advance has been made in fur
nishing the country with navy worthy

Public land thieves have been fOiled and
compelled to disgOrge large amount Of
their i'll gotten spoils. Settlers have been
protected, the Indians guarded against the
schemes of lawless traders and jObbers, and
the Union veterans have found, for the first
time a true friend at the head of the PEN
sion office.
The postal service has been relieved from
the abuses and burdens Of Republican NAL
administration, and steamship monopolies
have learned that they cannot impose their
own extraysgant terms upon the govern
ment.
The department of justice has been sd-
mirsbly and prudently managed.
In the public service there has been re-
form of the most pronounced kind, and the
Office holder is no longer regarded as the
representative of the spoils system.
The President has acted as an immova-
Bile barrier between the extravaganza OF
Congress and the Treasury, and by his
ceaseless energy, fearlessness and patriot
ism he has dealt death blow to the nu-
merOus rings and monopOlies which lorg
infested the National Capital.
He has crowned his grand administra-
ton by his bold, unanswerable message to
the present Congress, which led to the
union of his party upon the great issue Of
the reduction Of taxes. On this question
he has taken a stand which is on the side
of the people against the trusts and monop
olies. Under this administration the
Democratic party has demonstrated, in the
clearest manner, that it is in favor Of 8
government of the people, for the people
and BY the people, and not for any favored
class.
THIS is the record of Mr.. CLEvELAND's
administration, and it is one calculated to
call forth eloquence of the most brilliant
kind. Who wonders that the Democratic
National Convention eheered for twenty
four minutes yesterday when the name Of
the Man of Destiny" GROVER CLEvE
LAND, was presented for endorsement!

GROVER CLEVELAND.

The work of the Democratic National
Convention yesterday was of course fore
gone conclusion.
Our respondent Republican friends
growl that it was "foreOrdained" by the
President himself-"a put upjob, " in fact.
Now, when we know that the politicians,
who are supposed to run things" began
By disliking the President on account Of his
independence and utter disregard Of them,
and that this grand and mighty call for
the nomination of GROVER CLEVELAND
came from the throsts of the people them
selves, forcing the politicians to drop every
other name and fall in with the people or
yet trampled under foot; when we know
that the demand for the nomination of this
honest man came from the field, the work
sbop. and the home, the sbsurdity of the
notion that the President lifted finger to
secure his nomination is at once manifest
Nothing that no could have done in the
way of wire-pulling could have added one
lot to the force of the tidal wave that is to
sweep him back into the White House.
To be sure the tidal wave is OF his
own creation. Since March Alb, 1885, it
has been gradually swelling. His first
declaration, public Office is a public
trust" gave it such momentum that all
the politicians on the continent, who disa-
greed with him, could not check it. 1t
WAS a novel declaration at the time, but
the novelty of it has long since worn oil.
The people have come to see in President
CLEyELAND's administration, that public
Office can be accepted and guarded as q
public trust.
1t is hardly necessary to recapitnlate
the many reforms of President CLEyE'
LANDS wise, pure, patriotic and honest
administration. As an aggressive execu-
tive, steadfast in his devotion to the peO-
Piles interest, GROyER CLEVELAND out
shines any within the mOmOry Of this gen.
Grafton.
The Democratic national convention lad
a grateful task to perform in reviewing the
grand work accomplished by the first
Democratic administration which has held
the reins of government since the out
break of the civil war. The subject was
one calculated to inspire the brilliant
DANIEL DoUGHERTY to excel himself in
placing the President in nomination and
perfectly explains the tornado Of enthus-
iAstic cheers that prevailed in the hall tor
nearly half an hour at mention of the
name Of honest GROVER CLEVELAND.
What is the record?
The various departments Of the govern
ment show how the work of reform and /
wise craftsmanship has been carried IN |
during the past four years.
In the State department., the vexaticus
dispute with Canada has been brought to
an honorable equitable settlement, but is,
