The united labor party, in national con-
vention assembled at the good city of Gin
cinnati. nominated presidential ticket. A
large proportion of its delegates favored
the nomination of the good-looking man
nict,rred above, and he is in the field &C
cordingly.
Robert Fl. Cowdrey Is SO years old. He
Is under the medium hight and is slenderly
built. Small physically, he is by no means
insignificant in his attachments aud capa-
bilities. His qualifications as an orator are
decidedly superior.
Mr. Cowdrey was born at Lafayette, Ind.
and is a graduate of the Pharmaceu-
tical college at Chicago, to which place he
went Immediately after the great fire in
1871.
He was for seven years editor of the
Pharmacist and Chemist, and for the last
seventeen years has been in business in
Chicago, part of the time in the sale of
drugs as clerk, for some years in the print
ing business on his own account, and for the
last year as secretary of company estab-
Ished in Chicago. Mr.. Cowdrey has been
an independent in politics since 1876, at
which time he left the republican party.
He has never held any political office and
the present is his first venture as a candi-
date.
We notice that the action of the united
labor convention at Cincinnati in nominal
ing a national ticket has been rcpudiated by
a three-fourths vote at a meeting of the
Chicago land and labor club. of which Mr..
Cowdrey is president.

A Fearful Death.
From the San francisco Chronicle.

Last Monday young Portuguese farmer
named Joseph Silva, while cutting hay in a
field near Centerville, encountered large
rattlesnake, which he struck with his
scvthe and stunned. Silva supposed that
he had killed the reptile aud picked it up
nv the tail to cut off the rattles. He used a
knife that was somewhat dull, and, holding
fine snake almost at arms length, hacked at
the cartilage connecting the rattles with the
tail several times without severing it. To
accomplish his purpose more easily he
oripned the snake by the body, and as the
knife penetrated at the last effort, the
venomous creature doubled and struck him
on the little finger, burying its fangs
deep in the flesh. The boy shook the
snake off, and without an instant's heslta-
ton cut the finger off at the middle Joint,
below the place where. the reptiles teeth
had entered. Even then his nerve did not
desert him, and he made his way home
ward, a considerable distance. Here he
drank large quantity Of whisky and had
his bleeding finger bandaged. He felt no
i'll effects from the bite Of the snake, and
on Wednesday his curiosity led him to
search for the piece of his finger which he
had left in the field beside the dead body OF
the snake, which he killed after the ampu-
tation. He found the finger black and rot
ting with the poison it had absorbed, and
without consideration Of the consequences,
handled it, By some means the virulent
poison came in contact with his wound,
and that night he died In horrible agony,
decomposition setting in before the breath
left his body He was buried on Thursday
afternoon.

seemed to be skeptical and dubious of their
own senses and suspected big hoax. Their
doubts were soon dispelled In an effective
manner. One of the ladies Of the party
which discovered the sleeping soldier lost
her pet dog, and three weeks afterward re-
.membered that he was with the party in the
cavern. Another party visited the cavern,
and in the same chamber where the soldier
was discovered they found the dog, ap-
parently dead. When taken to the open
air he recovered, and in q few minutes was
as frisky as ever.
That satisfied everybody. To this day
the chamber has never been revisited, and
the secret Of the cavern has remained a
mystery. The people Of Mariana, ever
jealous of their reputation for truthfulness,
are very cautious about telling the story to
strangers.

REAL SMART JERSEY ROBINS.
They Found Toad in Their New Nest,
but They Got Him Out Cleverly.
From the NeD York Sun.

From, the Neto York Sun.
A couple of robins recently came to an
amicable understanding, and built nest in
the fork of a low bough on pine tree grow
ing near the railroad station at Fair View,
N. J. 1t was almost completed on Sunday,
and, going to their new home, with the last
few twigs requisite, rather for an ornate
finishing than for anything else, the birds
were mortified to find large, green, ugly
toad filling the nest, and hopping over the
edges. Whether toad can climb a tree or
not is an unsettled question and one which
did not seem to interest the birds. He was
there, and that was quite enough for them.
Several hours were passed in strenuously
trying to eject him, the birds working in a
systematic manner, and, by using their
combined forces at one side Of the nest en-
deavoring to heave the intruder out at the
other. They were not strong enough, how
ever, and they could not raise the gross
BODY The toad seemed to be asleep, and,
as he lay with closed eyes, the respiratory
heaving of his fat sides alone showing that
he was not dead, neither pecking nor pushing
seemed to have the slightest effect upon i'm.
Weary and discouraged, the robins at last
flew to an adjacent bush, and, apparently,
discussed the situation.
When they returned to the attack ten
minutes later they had perfected plan that
made short work of the toad. They began
with great earnestness, to tear away the
bottom of the nest and in a very short time
the obnoxious thing came tumbllng through
the hole. He reused himself, and, with a
hoarse protesting croak, hoped into the
long grass Then the robins flew away to
build another house. They had ousted the
toad, but they had no intention Of recon-
structing their desecrated nest.

SULPHUR FOR CONSERVATIVES,

The Experiments of "a Nonkers Inventor.
Yankee Grandmothers indicated.
There are great many interesting charac-
tiers among the inventors who yearly troop
down TO Washington TO see about their
patents. One of these men, William Heckert,
of Yonkers, talked his hearers into a state of
enthusiasm the other day about the medical
qualities of sulphur. Mr.. Heckert says that
in reading the history Of Italy and other
volcanic regions, he found that periods of
freedom from epidemic disease corresponded
with periods of volcanic activity. In COM
pairing labor statistics ne found one trade in
which consumption was unknown, that of
sulphuric acid making. 1t occurred to him
that the antiseptic properties of the sulphur
fumes killed the disease germs in all these
cases. His wife was hopeless consumptive.
He began having her inhale continuously the
fumes given off by the boiling of ordinary
Toured sulphur in water To his delight she
began to mend, and in time was completely
cured. In other cases, the names and dates
of which are too numerous for repetition, he
was successful.
While Mr.. HeCkert patents many Of his
ideas he is quite willing that the consump-
tive public should have the full benefit of
this. The apparatus is simply glass retort
with a spirit lamp beneath and a tube from
which the patients may fill his lungs with
the sulphur vapors. A solution of common
sulphur and water boiling in the retort will
produce the necessary vapor. So firmly con-
WINGED of the feasibility of the remedy has its
discoverer become, that nothing but his busy
life has prevented his urging some wealthy
philanthropist to open small hospital for
consumptives, where it may be given a fair
public trial
Many an old custom, remedy or rule of
health had its root as firmly bedded in the
truth as the most new tangled of modern
scientific maxins. Probably no one of the
endless generations of little Yankees whose
grandmothers have dosed them with molasses
and birthstone, was ever convinced that the
medicine really did him any good. In fact
nothing more than Dickens familiar delinea-
tons of the motherly Mrs. Squeers treating
her young charges to this nauseous mess is
needed to render sulphur n dscredited
remedy. Yet if the word of this simple
hearted inventor and those of some who
have taken up the study of the question are
to be accepted sulphur is the king Of pana-
ceas. Washington Cor New York Tribune.

An Optcian-I was told some time ago the
following remarkable story of n Kentucky
dog that had become almost totally blind.
The sound of the horn no longer aroused his
blood, and while the other dogs of the house
went forth eagerly to tho hunt, the old
afflicted animal remained behind, sad and
discouraged.
While at play ono day some children, who
knew the poor brute's inlirmity, placed upon
his nose pair of common spectacles, the
glasses of which happened to be very strong.
The dog at once awoke from his stupor and
showed his pleasure in unmistakable signs
The glasses were thereupon adjusted in the
best possible manner so as to remain on the
reiuvenated animals nose.
The next morning he started of to the
hunt with the other dogs, and soon it was he
who led the pack. But unfortunately his
spectacles brushed up against "A bush and
were torn from their resting place. The old
dog allowed the Others to pass him, and then
picking up the glasses he carried them to
his master to have them readjusted.
The dog is now confirmed spectacle
wearer, so much so that when any one at
tempts to remove his goggles he becomes
very savage.-Jeweler'sW Weekly.

A LEGACY.

Friend Of my many years!
When the great silence falls, at last on me,
Let me not leave 10 pain and sadden thee
A memory Of tears.
But pleasant thoughts alone
or one who was thy friendships honored guest,
And drank the wine of consolation pressed
From sorrows of thine own.
leave with thee a sense
OF hands upheld and trials rendered less
The unselish Joy which is TO helpfulness
It's own great recompense;
The knowledge that from thine,
As from the garments of the master, stole
Calmness and strength, the virtue which makes
whole
And heals without sign;
Yes more, the assurance strong
That love, which fails Of perfect utterance here,
Lives on to III the heavily atmosphere
With It's immortal song.
