Mae.

II will be recalled that NJ. Il.
De Young OF tine Chronicle stated on
the floor OF the Chicago Convention
that Harrison could not carry the
C .ast il nominated, on account of
b (, Chinese record.
DeYoIns fell into a common
error and admits it in the Chronicle
rs follows:
"rue details OF the vote for the
Presidential nominee show that SO
long as there was a possibility OF
inducing Mr.. Blaine to accept the
nomination the California delesa-
ton adhered to its determination OF
Carving out the wishes OF Califor-
mia, but that when the kilograms
from Mr.. Blaine were read, the
d .,-gation led off on the seventh
b blot with a vote for General Har-
rison, the nominee of the Conven-
ION, and this change was the force
t.lat set the ball rolling.
It is understood that the declara-
ton regarding GeSeral Harrison's
attitude on the Chinese question
which staggered our delegation was
derived from a confidential circular
issued by the G esham contingent.
The unfavorable impression excited
by this document was subsequently
removed by Harrison's friends, who
produced the record, whereupon
the CAliiornians agreed TO support
him in case Blame should finally
refuse to run. In view OF the action
ut our delegation, it would be alb
surd to suppose that any. doubt can
exist as to General Harrison S
present views on the Chinese ques-
ton, or, in fact, on any question IN
which California is directly inter.
ested. Our delegates certainly
know our wants and needs, ard we
are safe in relying on their judg-
ment."

a r,EKnaED YxsRUTE.

The Enterprise in comparing the
California and Nevada delegates
says:
While California was making a
racket the Nevada delegates were
working. They asked for no COM
pIiments, attempted no sharp tricks
but went directly to the point OF in
teyest to the Coast. They were not
boistersus before the crowd, but
when they spoke they were heard
and their suggestions were adopted.
They went about their duties quiet
", and as a result had influence
with the convention. They sacri-
iced no Coast interest by seeking
the prominence to be attained IN
the advocacy of a favorite candi-
date. They went there as Repuo-
licans to work for their country,
State and party, and attending to
business made their max on the
platform Under the guidance OF
Senators Jones and Stewart the
Nevada delegation earned the re-
spect of the convention, and alter
the first day a request in u whisper
from Nevada was heard farther than
= demand in the rear Of the Ca!ifor-
nia boomers. The Nevada men
started for the silver plank and
they arrived at their destination.
They wasted no breath in talk ns
for effect, and will be received on
their return as men who have been
a credit to their State.

New Method Of WALL Decoration.

From the Brooklyn Times.
The most expensive wall paper now produced
is pearl flock paper, which for brilliancy and eff
fectiveness in drawing room, especially by gas
light, casts into the shade the gold paper which
used to carry on the palm. This pearl flock which
is seen in light and delicate tlnts reflects not the
satlny sheen OF pearls, but the sparkle OF dia-
mondS, and Is prepared by a peculiar process
which imbeds myriads OF tiny crystal beads in
the surface OF thapaper, catching the light con-
tinually. 1t costs from $1S TO $40 roll and makes
a very decorative wall furnishing.
One OF the newer methods Of wall decoration
rather more expensive than the best of the wall
paper, Is the sO-caled metallic relief work. which
was first employed In this country in refinlshng
OF the older Vanderbilt houses and which calls for
q sculptor OF some ability to do 1t justice. COM

Delicate Elattery OF Freshmen.

From the New Haven News
certain barber In this beautiful city has been
vexed In spirit because some of his trade seemed In
fair way to slip away from him. The manner of
1t is this: He has among his customers q large
number OF Yale freshmen OF tender years These
risky youths insist upon being shaved, although
their chins may be as smooth as the surface OF a
billiard ball The barber saw that in order TO keep
that class OF trade he must convince 1t that It had
hair on its face SO he bethought himself OF a
scheme. He took q very Ane razor and honed it
down to very fine edge. This Accomplished he
so manipulated the tool that when It was drawn
along the smooth flesh 1t made noise as II the
points were being scraped on q barb-wire fence

HIGHER PRICES PAID IN 1887 FOR FASHIONABLE
BRED COLTS THAN EVER BEFORE.
From the Sportsman.
This has been most prosperous year among
Kentucky trotting-horse men, The price received
Tor stock has averaged much higher the past year
than was ever before known, this especially being
the case with young, fashionably-b bred colts and
hllies, which at all times have brought lucrative
prices, and in some instances have sold for exceed
ingly fancy figures. During the year 1,245 head
Kentucky for $685. O7S while the private sales will
foot up at least that mucn more, one breeding
establishment alone having realized over $4,000
on the sales OF trotting colts and flies in 1887.
Those sold range In age from the produce not yet
fOaled to the old stallion brood mare which have
almost served out their days The price received
thousands which the nol-credulous refuse to be-
lleve any sane man would pay for piece OF horse
flesh. In this connection 1t is well enough to add
that no standardized animal sold for anything
like the aforementioned price, the sum received
for stock OF that class always amounting to good
healthy figures
The strides made In the breeding Of the trotter
In Kentucky has been most wonderful as it is
only about thirty-eignt years since Mambrino
Chief was introduced into this state. He was
really the progentor OF the trottng stock OF Ken
lucky. Previous to MambrinO Chiefs arrival 1t is
true that Apdallah was brought here, but he only
made one season, after which he returned to the
North. on splendid estate in the southern SUBJ
urbs OF this city to-day lives man, fast nearing
his sixty-hfth mile stone, to whom the breeding
interests OF Kentucky owe debt OF gratitude that
they will never be able TO pay. To him belongs
the credit OF Introducing into this state the trot-
ting horse. Your correspondent aliudeS to Dr. l.
Herr. Previous to this gentlemans arrival in this
section from Pennsylvania there had been several
stations OF trotting strains from the North intro
duced into Kentucky, but there was no training
stable for schooling trotters for track purposes es-
tablishet until DIR. Herr came upon the scene some
time In the early part OF the forties. The richness
OF the lands the fineness OF the grasses together
with the limestone water, and the genial climate
OF the blue grass region, with the TACT that the
high-mettled racer had been here bred and raised
gave DR.. Herr confidence that by proper breeding
and JudciOus handling the very richest type OF the
trOlting horse could be produced in this state and
to-day, after two score years, his judgment has
been completely indicated, for Kentucky has
produced the greatest Jrotter that has ever trOd
the earth.

How to Stay Pretty.
THE GOOD THAT RESULTS FROM MUCH RUBBING AT THE
BATH.

From . Writer in Dress.
Tepid water is preferable for every season OF the
year. Milk baths have been in favor from time i'm
memorial with ladies and nothing is better than
daily hot bath OF milk Nine. Tallien was among
the historical women who bathed In milk, to
which she added crushed strawberries to give It an
agreeable perfume. have also heard of an old
lady OF eighty who retained a gtrlish complexion
ike cream and roses by always washing In the
juice OF crushed strawberries ami nothing else But
we can, fortunately. keep our skins healthy and
fair without resorting to these extreme measures
For the full-length BATH bag Of bran will soften
the water and make the skin delictously smooth
and fair; but let me here remark that no bath rs
perfect In Its results without the long and brisk
friction or hands or course towel afterward
Friction not only stimulates circulation, but &c
makes the flesh flrm and polished, like Parian
marble. 1t Is sometimes astonishing to see the
change made in an ugly skin by friction, and any
lady VINO wishes to possess q healthful beautiful
BODY, firm TO the touch and fair 70 the eye, with
the elasticity OF youth well prolonged into age,
must give willingly OF her strength TO the dafIy
Task OF rubbing the body thoroughly.
