The Republican County Convention
which meets to-day has IN important
work to perform, and will doubtless per.
form it well. There is 10 indication
there will be a lack OF harmony, or that
any ill feeling will grow cut Of the pro-
ceedings. All the delegates seem to
realize that the matter Of naming the
strongest tickle. that can be selected is
far more important than the considers
ton OF personal preferences.
The friendly contest that is going en-
for the county Offices will no doubt be
settled amicably. There will be dissp-
p%ointmenta, but as tho candidates are al!
loyal Republican,, there will be no
heartburnings, and the defeated mes
will work cheeiful!y for the election OF
their successful competitors.
Too much care cannot be exercised in
making up n legislative ticket. The
members should not be hastily chosen.
The respective merits and strength OF
all the nominees should be carefully can
vassed with n view 10 placing in the
field the very s!rongeat ticket possible.
The names Of many good men have
been suggested for the Legislature
through the newspapers and upon the
streets. None are known to be active
candidates, however, and whoever the
convention decides upon is reasonably
Rure to receive the united support OF the
party.
The outlook for the Republicans OF
Ohio county this year is encouraging,
and there is reason to believe that with
n strong ticket q solid delegation can be
elected to the Legislature this fall. The
same may be said Of the Republican
prospects concerning the county Offices.
If the conventions actions are governed
solely by a desire to DO the best thing
for the party in tho county and State
victory will ho ours.

Daniel Il. Lucas Record ms n Democrat.
The fact that there is to DO but one
candidate voted for by the State at large
this year, and that the office to be filled
is not executive in its character, natur-
ally deprives the campaign of much OF
tho excitement that usually centers in a
State election. However, there are some
features Of tho situation which will
make up in interest what the canvass
will lack il enthusiasm.
1t is not yet known who tho Rapubli.

l remember ONE when on visit in the
country, going TO the house Of a well to do
farmer, where l was put to bed in the spare
ROOM" as the guest chamber is generally
called. Ihad learned from experience to go
to bed in these rooms with nearly all my
clothes on, and after having parted with
most of the warmth of my body in partially
taking the chill off this particular bed, l be-
gan to doZe.
| dreamed after a while that heard the
kissing sound of snake, which seemed to
come nearer and nearer, till felt sure it was
In bed with me. | awoke in a cold perspira-
ton, but still the Kissing continued and GER
tainly proceeded from the bed, though it now
seemed not SO much like the noise made by a
snake as that made by humble bees Rather
alarmed now l leaped from the bed, lighted
my lamp and tore off the quilts Nothing
out of the way was visible and yet the buzz
zing continued Ipulled up the edge of the
big feather bed, which lay upon straw mat
trass, and there, to my surprise, l saw hun
dreds of sluggish flies, which had crawled in
there to hibernate when cold weather came,
and had been thawed out by the heat of my
body and the extra warmth that had crept
into the room by the door being opened into
the hallway Of the house. Not wishing to
wake anybody, l pulled the feather bed out
into the hall and slept on it there for the rest
of the night. I opened the window of the
room and closed the door on my strange bed
fellows, and the frosty atmosphere soon made
short work of them.-New York Tribune.

A YnnderfnI Invenfinn.

The wondrous reel invented by the count is
still considered the marvellous conquest Of
science. Upon this reel is wound a length Of
silver wire measuring $4,000 metres. The
magnetic needles crossing each other in a
contrary direction are fixed upon the reel
and suspended by slender thread, The APP
paratus works under glass like watch, so
that no tampering with the mechanism is
possible. 1t is mounted, however, on high
stand. The count takes his hold of the two
conductors, to which are attached the two
ends Of the silver thread rolled upon the
reel, and bids you to order the machine to
move to right or left, according TO your will.
Under this power alone, hitherto misunder-
stood or underrated-this, the mightest
power in the universe, according to Count
P, the power OF the human will-the ma
chine will act without the contact of touch.
To right, TO leftl will the reel rsvoiTe, &C
cording to the fancy of the visitor. Without
speech, without touch, by the mere mental
influence alone, will the machine move in
obedience to the unexpresSed command

Mhsre Cereals Are Grnnn.

America stands first on the list of wheat
producing countries, and is greatly in the
lead in the production of corn. As compared
with Russia, the crop Of the United States is
m Jre than hundred times greater. In oats,
too, we exceed Russia by nearly 20 per cent
on the average, The greater part of the
bread of eastern Europe is made Of rye.
Russia alone raises nearly 700,0O0,0O0 bushels
Of rye annually, and the average net harvest
of all cereals in that country is about l,lO0,-
100000 bushels. The production Of the
United States reaches annually near 5000
600, 900 bushels, or almost three times that Of
Russia Leaving out the enormous produc-
III of corn in this country, and the remain
ing cereals are only about 100, 10000 bushels
greater than Russia, the chief advantage be-
ing in wheat and oats Besides the consump-
ton Of rye by its own inhabitants, Russia
exports twenty times more OF it than the
United States, eighteen times as many oats,
and forty times as much barley.

A Perfectly Tnme Gronse.

Irecently witnessed a strange and, to me
an almost unprecedented sight, namely, 6
perfectly tame, full grown ruffed grouse. II
is a fine large male bird. at first, in passing
the window on the street, thought it skilled
specimen of the taxidermists art l stopped
went into the store, and upon inquiring OF
the proprietor learned its history. 1t was an
acquisition of but few days possession. He
found it in almost expiring state from starva-
ton in an unoccupied house in the suburbs OF
our city.
You know of the wild, frenzied fight of
these birds at autumn, frequently dashing
themselves to death against houses or win
dows; several have been thus killed in our
city. This one seems to have dashed through
a window of deserted house, aud not being
able to find its way out, was almost in articulo
norris when picked up With much difficulty
1t was restored. A drop of water was in
serted in its mouth, then bit of grape pulp,
and So little by little, nourished until the
bird now feeds kindly and confidently from
the hand. 1t Is almost omnivorous in its
tastes, takes clover leaves, raw cabbage,
grape, apple, parched corn, or what is known
as pop corn, corn, birch bud, etc. Solitary,
silent starvation seems to have annihilated
the wild, unconquerable instinct Forest and

How clubmsn Decorated am Actress.

INV Niupmeh decorated an Actress
One Of our best known comic opera women
wears a string of diamond swallows all around
one side of her exceptionally beautiful head.
They begin with bird two inches from one
wing tip to the other and end with one moi
much larger than wasp. The effect is de.
lightful one, and is certainly the newest and
best thing out in the way of unique Jewels.
The value Of the birds must be something like
$4,000, and the general impression given to
those who see them is that the actress re-
ceived them from caliow and afflueat ad-
mirer, of which affair she has many examples
In her train. But this is not wholly correct
surmise. The fact is that a party of club
men, who never met the actress personally.
desired to express to her their admiration for
her as an artist, and resolved among them
selves to do so by presenting to her a hand
some set of jewels
After careful search the exquisite flock of
birds was agreed upon. Then to make the
gift possess still more peculiar significance
it was arranged that the donors should shake
dice to see who should pay for the different
sized birds. The man who made the highest
score paid for the largest bird, and considered
himself the luckiest of the lot, while the least
successful shaker was only permitted to pay
for the smallest bird much to his chagrin,
for all wanted to be the biggest figure in the
donation party. Accompanied by graceful
note the glittering ornament was sent to the
lyric queen, who replied that of all the fair
tokens from too generous friends this should
ever be held the most priceless, and all that
sort of thing. think this is the first time on
record where the members Of conservative
club formed a combination of affection and
made present in harmonious unison. New

ing that within twenty-four hours after all
the great battles in which cannon had been

Fannie p. Hardy, superintendent of the
schools of the new Maine city of Brewer, is a
bright woman, who strange to say, is inter
ested in the matter Of preserving the wild
game of Maine. Eight fire with fire." she
says--(the DEVILS mottoD IF the guides and
hunters kill game illegally, they do it because
it is profitable; make it more profitable to
protect the game and those who take such
service will perform it faithfully. Ten good
hunters, placed in positions which command
the waterways Of Maine, and set to patrol the
border aud the region between Baker Lake
and Seven Islands to keep off Canadian en-
croachments, could completely crush the lille
gal killing of game throughout the state.
What is more, they would have the good will
of the other guides and hunters. Lewiston
