Reported for TEE EVENING STAB.


PoLITIcAL---Ths democratic district conven-
ton being over politics seems now quiet here
and Will probably remain SO for awhile. The
next political move is the meeting here next
Friday of the republican central committee of
this congressional district, under Hon. r. r.
Farr, chairman. At that meeting all the qucs-
tions relative to the holding of a republican
district convention will be determined. A
strong effort is being made to induce Hon.
Frank Hume to become an Independent eandi-
date and no little blandshment is also used by
democrats to prevent him from accepting such
a nomination. Duringsthe next ten days it i .
probable that the opposition to Gen. Lees re-
election will begin TO take the shape it will as
sumo before the canvass ends.

Bowing to Jackson,s Statue.

Congressman Richard Vaux, the pic.
turesque old gentleman who succeeded
Samuel j. Randall in the house, has one
peculiar characteristic. He is great ad.
mirer of the late Andrew jackson, and
misses no opportunity to honor his mem.
DRY. Mr.. Vaux lives but stones throw
from jackson park, Washington, in which
the equestrian statue of the rugged old
Democrat stands. Every morning, no mat.
ter what the state of the weather is, Mr.,
Vaux strolls over to the park after break
fast, and, facing the status of the man
whose memory he honors, respectfully re-
moves his hat. He has not neglected his
duty of love one day since he has been a
resident of Washington.-New York Jour

health giving element is laughter and hap
piness for the human family. Even the
old mother had covered her meagre frame
with an extra layer of flesh and lost many
OF her wrinkles through the one short
month of glorious good time we had all had.
1t was with many feelings of regret that
we said good bye TO the hosts of kind
friends we had made in our short stay in
Fillmore. A more courteous, hospitable
people 1t has never been my lot to meet,
and we will always have a tender spot
somewhere in our hearts for them and the
good time they made for us no matter who
may come after. L. G. AIDDEE.
