TO have been los.
CABLE dispatches from Europe say that

At the conclusion of the tenth ballot no
choice having been made, the committee adj
journed for the day.
The Rhode Island Prohibition Convention
for the nomination Of State officers assembled
at Providence on Wednesday. The following
ticket was nominated: For Governor, George
W. Gould, of North Providence; Lieutenant
Governor, H. I. Scott, Of Newport; Attorney
General, John I. Blodgett of Providence;
General Treasurer, John I. Perry, of South
Kingstown, who is the present incumbent
The Tennessee State Prohibition Conven-
ton, in session at Nashville, chose twenty
four delegates to the National Prohibition
Convention 10 meet at indianapolis, and in
structed to vote for Gen. Clinton b. Fisk as
the nominee for President A State conven-
ton was also called for May 10, the same day
that the State Republican Convention meets,
to nominate a candidate for Governor. Tho
nomination of full county, Legislative, and
Congressional tickets was urged.
The contest in the National Democratic
Committee has resulted in substantial vic
tory for the administration, says Washing
ton telegram. The convention is to be held
before the Republican Convention, and it is
not to be held in San Francisco.
The administration would have preferred o
still earlier date and Chicago, but st. Louis
and June are good enough for it. When the
committee met Thursday morning one vote was
taken, which showed that the situation was the
same as Wednesday night. Then Mr.. Scott
moved to suspend the order of business with q
view to reconsidering the vote fixing July as
the date. On this he was defeated by a vote OF
% for and a az ainst. Then another ballot for
location was taken, which gave San Francisco
Is, St Louis Is, Chicago Is, and New York i.
The committee then took a short recess, and
after coming TO order again the question was
speedily settled In favor of St Louis. The
time Of the convention was then voted on and
carried by q vote Of 26 to Il, and the time was
fixed at June by a vote OF 20 to IL.
The call for the convention is as follows:
The National Democratic Committee hay
day Of February, 1888. has appointed Tuesday,
the 5th day Of June next, at noon as the time,
and chosen the city of st. Louis the place,
for holding the National Democratic Con-
vention. Each State is entitled to O
representation therein equal TO double
the number Ct its Senators and Repre-
sentatives in the Congress OF the United
States, and zach territory and the District OF
Columbia to have two delegates. All Demo-
States, irrespective Of past political associa-
ton and differences, who can unite with US in
the effort tor pure, economical, and constitu-
tional government, are cordially invited to Join
us in sending delegates to the convention.

Very many people do not keep the
skin active and healthy as they ought I;
the fear OF catching cold leads them to
neglect to maintain perfect cleanliness
of the body, and as the functions of the
skin are impaired, the work of throw
ing out waste material, which right
fully belongs to il, fills upon the inter-
nal organs. They will bear the impo-
sition for q time, and will labor to do
the work forced upon them, but, sooner
or later, they become weakened by the
strain, and then the waste of the sys-
tenn accumulates within the body and
assists in depressing the vital forces.
Thus, by neglect to keep the skin in o
healthy state, many q person becomes
dull and sluggish and disinclined to
bodily effort; all the organs concerned
in life share in the disturbance, and
become indolent and torpid. The need
to maintain perfect cleanliness of the
body is, if possible, greater in winter
than in summer, fact which but few
appreciate; and to the neglect Of this
essential may be attributed much of
the sickness prevailing in cold wealth
er, which really ought to be the health
lest Of the year.-Boston Journal of
Health.

THE POLITICAL FIELD.

The National Democratic Committee met at
Washington, Feb q, for the purpose Of Sc
lecting the date and place for holding the next
Democratic Convention to nominate candi-
dates for President and Vice President
There was full attendance Of delegates, the
only vacancy being that caused by the
death OF Hubert o. Thompson, Of New
York The vacancy was promptly filed
by the election Of William Steinway.
Senator German offered resolution fixing
the date at July next This was vigorously
opposed by Congressman Scott of Pennsyl-
vania, who advocated holding the convention
May % Another proposition was made to
fix June 5 as the date for holding the conven-
ton, but this wac objected TO by Senator
German. A ballot was then taken, and the
committee, by vote Of % to 49, agreed that
the convention should be held on the Sd Of
July. Next came the fight over the location
The claims OF Chicago, San Francisco and St
Louis were set forth in eloquent speeches
Ten ballots were taken, with the following
result:

An Easy Cure for Weak. Tired. aud Ne,

An Easy Cure for Weak, Tired. and Ner-
vous Feelings.
Persons complain that they are weak, tired,
and exhL ustad: they have no appetite,
no strength no life or ambition to work; they
become irritable cross, blue and discouraged;
In some cases there are pains and aches in
various parts Of the body, and there 10 often
indigestion, dyspepsia, belching Of wind, dull
head and general dispirited feeling. Sleep
less, restless, and wakeful nights follow.
Neglect OF these symptoms results In Excess
sive nervous prostration or paralysis, with
prickling sensation and weakness and weari-
ness OF the limbS
Thousands become prostrated, paralyzed
or insane by neglectng the first symptoms,
not knowing that the nervous irritability.
gloom OF the mind, loss OF memory, nervous
weakness and depression show an exhaustion
OF nerve force which will, unless the proper
restorative remedy Is used, result In utter
mental collapse and absolute prostration of
nerve and physical power.
Save yourselves from these terrible results
while there is yet Tins by the use OF that
wonderful nerve inyigorator and health re-
storer, DIR. Greene's Nervura Norve Tonic. II
is purely vegetable remedy, and may be
used by children or the most delicate in
vAlids with absolute certainty OF cure. Its
effects arc truly wonderful, and it is only
necessary to use il to DO convinced of its
marvellous restorative and strength-giying
powers. Do not fail to use this remedy, for 1t Is
the greatest medical discovery Of the century,
and an absolutely certain cure will result
All druggists keep it. Price 81 per bottle. Be
sure and get DR.. Greene's Nervura Nerve

Ewes or the Rec.

Anyone who will take the trouble to
examine with lens the head of q bee
will see on either side the large round
ed compound eve, and on the forehead
or vertex three bright little simple
eyes. The latter are, as their name
implies, comparatively simple in struc-
ture, each with single lens. But the
compound eyes have complex struc-
ture. Externally the surface is seen to
be divided up into great number of
hexagonal areas, each of which is called
a facet. and forms O little lens. OF
these the queen bee has on each side
nearly 5000, the worker some 5000,
and the drone upward of $4,000. Be-
meath each facet is o crystalline cone,
q so-called nerve-rod, and other struc-
lures too complex to be here described,
which pass inward toward the brain
1t will be seen, then, the so-called
compound eye, with its thousands of
crystalline cones, its thousands of
"nerve-rods" and other elements, is a
structure of no little completely. The
question now arises. is it one struc-
ture or many? Is it an eye or an aggre-
gate of eyes? To this question the
older naturalists answered confidently
an aggregate. And simple expert
ment seems to warrant this conclusion.
Puget, quoted in Goldsmith's "Ani-
mated Nature" adapted the facets of
the eye of fl pardon me, fair reader,
of minute aphanipterous insect of the
genus pulex-so as to see objects
through it under the microscope. "A
soldier thus seen appeared like an
army of pigmies, for while it multiplied
it also diminished the object; the arch of
bridge exhibited aspectacle more mag
nifcent than human skill could perform,
and the flame Of q candle seemed the
illumination of thousands of lamps. AL
though Cheshire in his book on the
bee, adopts this view and supports it
by reference to similar experiment, it
numbers to-day but few supporters.
One is tempted to marvel at the ability
of the drone to coordinate twenty-four
thousand separate images into single
distinct object Picture tho confusion
of images Of one who had slipped too
freely of the sweet but delusive dregs
of the punch-bowll Under similar
circumstances human folk are reported
to see double. Think of the appalling
condition of on inebriate dronel Those
who believe the faceted eye to be one
organ with many parts contend that
each facet and its underlying structures
give not complete image of the exter-
nal object as whole, but the image of
a single point of that object. Thus
there is formed, by iuxtaposition of
contiguous points, a stippled image or
an image in mosaic. Hence this view is
known as Millar's mosaic hypothesis.
Lowne has experimental with fine
glass threads arranged like the cones
and nerve-rods of the bees eye, and
finds that (even when they are not sur
