Slate Convention at Albanv-A Ticket to

Na'e convention aC AtDanV-A 11ckeC to
 be Put in the Field.
 ALBANY, Oct. 1.-The New York state delegates to the American Guard convention assembled in this city yesterday about 100 delegates being present. The convention was called to order by Mr. S. E. Church, who de Gvered an address to the American people, which was ordered printed. pr. J. G. Will son, of Rockland county, was chosen tempo rary chairman, and J. F. Liphard temporary secretary. A short recess was then taken, after which the following permanent officers were elected: Chairman, Dr. J. G. Wilson; secretary, J. G. Geddes, of New York; assist ant secretary, J. F. Liphard; vice presidents, k. E. Hall, w. T. Dara James Thompson, Charles Knapp, D. F. Griffin and A. Becker.
 A resolution indorsing the nomination oi James Langdon Curtis, of New York, for president and A. P. Wigginson, of Califor- mia, for vice president was adopted.
 The report of the committee on nomina- tions, that it would be inadviSable to put a state ticket in the field, was adopted before its purport was fully understood, and con, siderable excitement was caused by the efforts of the more enthusiastic to have the report reconsidered and a state ticket nomi- mated.
 The discussion finally terminated in the re consideration of the motion to adopt the re port, and another motion was carried, which provided for the organization of state com mlttee, consisting of one delegate from each congressional district i'll the state.
 The committee was then given power to place both an electoral and state ticket in the field, and also to organize the respective dis, tricts represented for the campaign. The state committee thus appointed will meet ip New York city next Wednesday,

Stockholm and Its Forests.

In one respect Stockholm is entirely unique its close connection with the wild primeval forests of the north. It has seated itself di- rectly at the foot of these gloomy but mag nifcent wastes, which stretch in every di- rection behind it. Other cities have made war upon nature. Like Madrid or Rome, they have spread an arid and unhealthy desert around them, or like our early New England settlers, have reduced every beauti- full grove within reach to a huckleberry pasture. But wiser Stockholm has left her forests uninjured, and they form ma ajestic setting to her gay and living picture. In whatever direction you look from any eleva- ton, the horizon is mysterious with the ocean or with the woods; and you can leave the quays in one of the countless little steam boats, and in ten minutes you stand where you can scarcely find trace of cultivation, although probably some cid towers among the woods will testify to the presence of an ancient royal hunting lodge.-Cor San Francisco Chronicle
