JUST as we 60 to press we receive
the expected news of the nomination
of Thurman for vice-president by the
st. Louis Convention. The platform
fight is still on, but it Is our guess that
the Presidents views will be endorsed
without mention of the Mills bill. 1t
matters little, however. The most
ingenious straddle will avail nothing
as recent discussion has laid down the
lines for the campaign with sufficient
clearness. And on those lines the re-
publican party is eager for the. fray and
confident of the result.

terms the free trade democrats who
want protection for the particular in.

last weeks REGISTER. Hear it:

Congress are demanding special i'm.
munities for their constituents in the
shape Of protection on some particular
manufacture in their districts. =

the party were beaten on the issue of
having lodged the issueit would be q
deserved defeat"
Yes, dear brother, these democratic
cranks" are not only demanding spe-
cial immunities," but they are getting
them. The "haggling" is "allowed
to go on" by the majority" In the
same press dispatch from which we
quoted last week, the statement was
made that several democratic free
trade Congressman were made happy
by having their requests for "immun-
ity for their constituents" from the
disastrous provisions of the Mills bill
granted. Yes, it is going right on, sDd

Roman Tick, Polly Tick, Rus Tick and

peculiar traits of character were touch

cities Of Par Tickular. Ar Tickulate,

livery was excellent, and her presence
graceful. composed and dignified.
The delivery of "The Tyranny II
PREF udice." by John Stewart, showed
genuine oratorical excellence. Mr..
Stewart has the manly bearing, ready
utttrance, voice and grace that mark
the good speaker. The matter of his
production was also among the very
best.
Perhaps nine out of ten Of those
present will concede that in point Of
delivery the "Class Prophecy" by
Mics Blanche Allen, was the most ar.
tistically done Of all. In. fact, we dc
not know how an improvement of II
could well be suggested. The extreme
ly difficult subject was treated, too
with rare tact and delicacy, and was
worthy Of the highest praise.
Following this came the presentation
of the diplomas by Mr.. A. q. Scott
At the completion of this ceremony
fifteen beautiful children emerged from
an ante-room each fairly loaded down
with flowers for some member of the
class It almost seemed that every
one of the 600 people present must have
brought u bouquet. the profusion o
flowers was go marvellous.
Two noticeably pleasant things char
acterized the exercises-the fact tina
every word could be heard in every
part of the hall, and the almost entir'
absence Of anything like stage frigh
on the part Of any of the performers.
We were particularly glad to see 81

Schools, the recent graduates and tn
present senior class. and large mum
Der of prominent citizens. We certain
ly hope this interchange of Commence
ment civilities between the two elite
will continue to be, as it has been 70
several years past, one of the pleasan
features of the occasion.
Altogether, as we said, 1t was
grand, inspiring occasion, and we hop
we may have many more like it. Th

The Clever Women of Mexico.

Spanish tradition respecting the tar
sex has not entirely died out in Mexico
and it is with some difficulty that
woman is able to do any work except
that OF teaching.
The stand taken by Senorita Montova,
of Pu 4bla, is worthy OF notice. Al the
age of twelve years this remarkable girl
had finished the course OF study at the
Young ladies' academy where she at
tended, but she was refused fndI eX-
animation because it was never gwen to
pupils under sixteen.
Resolved to waste no time, she pur-
sned alone the studies of botany, philo-
SONNY. chemistry, and other subjects
preparatory to the study of medicine,
upon which her whole mind was bent.
Before she was fifteen her father, an
officer in the army, died, leaving the
family penniless, and she at once, as

mother, took up the business OF nursing.
making special study of the diseases OF
her own sex.
Under private tutor she studied
Greek, Latin and mathematics, and at
length applied for admission to the Med
ical College at Puebla. Alter much OPP
position she succeeded in obtaining per
mission from the Government to enter
as a special student. While pursuing her
studies she supported herself by teach
ing and by acting as physician in the
women's hospital. She has recently
passed an examination with high honors,
and will soon receive her degree as doc
tor of medicine. She is now about 20
| years old.
Art culture is also we'll developed

A Cow Mixed by a Fish.
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

On the farm of Jacob Groh, who lives near Zodiac Springs, in the south ern part of this township, is a large pond where milk cowsare In the habit of standing during the day. One oi the cows acted 80 strangely when at the pond that she attracted the atten- tion of Mir. Grofi and the farm hands. She would go into the water an hour or 90 before the other cows, and, after wading out 8 certain depth, would stop and commence lowing, as though calling to 6 calf. Immediately after she would remain perfectly quiet, and seem contented. No cause could bc assigned for her strange conduct, although on several occasions she was closely watched.
 Recently the water in the pond be- came low, 1t scarcely reaching the cows knees. She made her usual daily y trip, however, and took up her old position. One day last week she was watched very closely, and 1t was dis covered that when she ceased calling a large catfish would come to the surface of the water and suck milk until its appetite was satisfied. The fish was caught by Mr. Grof in the Sac river a year ago, and was thrown into the pond.

Tn the Amusing Comedietta of "Used
 Up,"
 Sir Charles Coldstream, & blase man of fashion, is made to deprecate every thing in which everybody else is SUD- posed to take an interest, with the languid remark that "there is really nothing in it." He even extended this criticism to the crater of Vesuvius, down which he looked but saw "noth- ing in it." Such characters are scarcer on this side of the Atlantic than abroad, but they exist here notwith- standing. Such men need "fllip to nature" to incidentally stimulate their jaded appetite, overcome their lassi- tude, and renew the zest of existence. They and others upon whom the worlds enjoyments are beginning pre- maturely to pail, will find Hostetter's Stomach Bitters a wholesome and speedy renewal of vigor and health. Appetite returns, dyspeptic and bill ious symptoms disappear, the nerves grow strong, and the hour of retire. ment is unfraught with apprehension of uneasy repose when this superlative tonic is employed. It remedies fever and ague, rheumatism and kidney troubles.

Cash Well Spent.

Money expended in personal adorn- ment is often foolishIy wasted upon articles of no intrinsic value. A bot tie of SOZODONT, however, is worth it's weight in gold to any one troubled with poor teeth, and its price Is cash well spent by the purchaser. Though it will not make the teeth regular, they who use it are astonished at the rapid improvement it effects in the dental row. Moreover, they breathe sweetness, and have healthy gums and rucdy lips.
