The republicans at Alpena yesterday
nominated whom they believe to be
the strongest man in the tenth district
for the office of congressman, in the
republican party-Watts s. Hum
phrey, of Cbeboygan. Mr. Humpery is
the leading lawyer OF Cheboygan, and
has been for years identified promi-
nently with the republican party in
Michigan. He is probably as strong a
candidate as the republicans could
have found in the entire district. Tbs
ease with which he was selected, the
lack of strife ind iIIfeeling in the con
vention-so unlike former meetings Of
the same kind-all go toward making
Mr.. Humphreys nomination a strong
one. Hc is alive, wide awake. activ.

Republican Congressional Con-


vention.
The convention at Alpena last week.
was marked Improvement over any
convention ever held in tho 10th dis
trict.
1t was determined from the outset
that no man or men owned the dis
trict. and there was determination
to canvass the matter thoroughly and
select candidate fitted for the place,
and worthy the honor OF representing
the immense and varied interests Of
this large section, and who would
unite and hold all sections.
For a time it seemed that Hon. d.
p. Markey was the nun to be named,
but before the convention assembled
to ballot, careful consideration
showed to his friends that strong
difference of opinion had arisen be-
| tween the delegations of Bay and Tus-
cola, which might effect the result,
and knowing as they did the perfect
fidelity of Mr. Markey to the party,
and his anxiety for its success, his
name was promptly withdrawn, though
many OF bis friends could not refrain
from depositing n ballot in his favor
The nomination Of Hon. Watts s..
Humphrey, of Cheboygan was perhaps
the most unanimous of any ever given
congressional candidate for his first
term and presages such unity of action
throughout the entire district that in
sures success.
Mr.. Humphrey is peculiarly fitted
for the place to which lie will be
chosen, being profound scholar, of
broad and liberal views, ever cham
pion for the right, and not Influenced

While the holy emotions my tongue dare no'

Your arms held me fast; oh, your arms were SO
Heart beat against heart In your passionate
Your giances seemed drawing my soul through

Your lips clung to mine till prayed In bliss
They might never unolasp from the raptrroua

You kissed mel NV heart and my breath end
In deiirious joy for moment stood still.
Life had for me then no temptations, NO
No visions Of happiness outsile Of ycur arms.
And were this instant an angel, possessed
OF the peace and the Joy that are given the
Iweuld fling my white robe unrepentingly down:
would tear from my forehead its beautiful
crown,
To nestle once moro in that haven OF rest,
Your lips upon mtne U1 bead on your breast
You kissed nal My soul, in bliss 30 divine,
Reeled and swooned Ike drunken man heavy
Win wine, a..
And thought twere delicious to die there, Il
death
Would come while my lips were yet rosist with
your breoth;
II my heart might grow cold
While your arms claspei me round ia their pas'
sionate fold.
And these are the questions I ask day and
night,
Must my lips taste no more such exquisite de-
light?
Would you care II your breast were my shelter

And II you were here would you kiss noe again !

BeesVax From the Sea.

No one has ever been able to give al
authentic account of how such enormous
quantities of beeswax came to be de-
posted on the beach near Nehalem.
specimens are found along the beach in
various places, but it is most plentiful
lear the mouth Of the Nehalem. As the
lea shifts the bar pieces of it are washed
shore, and large quantities are found
~ blowing some of the low land near
he beach. There ore spots where the
,ea has never reached in the memory of
he oldest settlers, and which are COW
.red with a good-sized growth Of spruce,
where deposits of the wax may be found
y digging. Specimens of the wax may
,e found at the house of any settler on
he beach, and to all appearances it IS
genuine becswax. Several tons have
seen unearthed, and one man shipped a
arge amount to San Francisco once, for
which he received $500. In qllalit! it
s as good as any in the market, and has
.etained its familiar odor through all its
.oush usages and age. 1t Is supposed
5y some, and so stated, that it came from
The wreck of Spanish vessel over a
century ago. Others say that it came
from q wrecked Chinese junk. These
traditions in regard to the wrecks come
from the Indians and are not very re-
liable.-TNamock Headlight.

The Light Glow Worms Emit.

One of our readers in Wales, to whom
the glow worm is not so familiar as it is
to orr country subscribers nearer home,
wants to know something about the food
of that curious creature, and the light
emitted by it. He says: "There is q
poem in which it is said that glow worms
are as numerous as the stars, but I doubt
if one person in hundred has ever seen
one. l have seen only two in my life,
and those were found by somebody else.
I have kept one in glass for a week,
supplying it with grass and leaves, which,
however, it does not appear to touch. It
gives bright light, sufficient to tell the
time by, for about two hours every night,
being punctual almost to minute, both
in lighting and putting out its lamp"
The glow worm in its larval state lives
on snails and slugs, and becomes vegeta.
rian only in its perfect state. Its light
is an example of animal phosphorescence,
upon which of late years there has been
no lack of scientific theory. It's light
has been happily named o love light by
one of its closest students, whose &C.
count of the italian freAy's 1irtations by
mean of her attractive phosphorescence
our correspondent would find highly en-
tcrtainir g.-Lmldoa Mcvs.

Life Saved by O Dogs Barking.

The inmates of the house of Mr.. W.
q. French, of Woodbridge, which was
destroyed by fire Monday evening, have
q dog to thank for their lives. The fire
started in the carriage barn or wood
house, which are all connected with the
farmhouse by On L, and by the time that
the occupants were awakened to their
danger, which was about 1 o'clock in
the morning, all the buildings seemed to
be envcloped in flames, and there was
need of hurry to escape. The discovery
was first made by Mr.. French's daughter,
young lady about eighteen years of age,
who was awakened by the vigorous bark
ing and whines of the pet dog Of lady
who was visiting them for the time.
Miss French perceived in o moment from
actions of the animal that something was
wrong, and then hearing the cracking OF
the Aames knew what it all meant, and
that prompt action was necessary. 1t
was but the work of moment for her to
give the alarm to the rest of the house
hold, consisting besides herself of Mr..
and Mrs. French, lady and her little
child visiting them and Hired man.
The startling news was not given any too
soon, but fortunately no lives were lost.
Help came from the neighboring houses,
but by this time the buildings were
pretty we'll destroyed.-NsaO Haven

A Railroad Up Pixies Peak.

Writing from Colorado, New York
Press correspondent says: Arailroad up
Pixies Peak caps the climax of contrast
with those old days and this new and r.
resistibly progressive era. The road is
scarcely in operation yet, although trial
trips have been made. 1t is novelty,
as found on inspecting it; indeed, l
think it is the most novel road in the
world. 1t is a cogway load, similar to
that at Mount Washington, but is eight
and three quarter miles in length. The
line is standard guage, and the roadbed
solid rock or masonry, fifteen to twenty
feet wide. Iron bridges span the "a
vines and crevices that must be crossed.
The cars are slightly tilted, but the seats
are hung on pivots, so as to give passen-
gers a level sitting. An electric light
plant at the station supplies arc lamps
with light at short intervals along the en-
tire route, and the trains are to be run at
night as we'll as day. II was formerly q
two days journey on horseback to go up
and down the mountain. Now the round
trim will be made in four hours, with an
hours STAY on top of the mountain. -saa

Ancient Egyptian Glue and Veneerlng'

Among the many occupations OF the
carpenter, that of veneering is noticed IN
The sculptures of Thebes, as early as the
time of the third Thothmes, whom l
suppose to be the Pharaoh of Exodus,
and the application of piece OF rare
wood of a red color to yellow plank OF
sycamore, or other ordinary kind, is
,learly pointed out. And in order to
show that the yellow wood is ofinferlor
quality, the workman is represented to
have fixed his ADJ carelessly in BLOCK
of the same color, while engaged in ap-
plying them together. Near him are
some of his tools with a box or small
chest, made of inlaid and venecred wood,
of various hucs, and in the same part OF
the shop arc two other men, one OF whom
is employed in grinding something with
a stone on slab, and the other in
spreading glue with brush. 1t might,
perhaps, be conjectured that varnish was
intended to be here represented, but the
appearance of the pot on the fire, the
piece of glue with its concave fracture,
and the workman before mentioned ap-
plying the two pieces of wood together,
satisfactorily decide the question, and
attest the invention of glue 330O years
ago.-ScientitSe american.
