Political Notes.


Col. c. R. Scott Of Omaha was in Denver
yesterday. He will attend the republican state
convention at Glenwood Springs today and ask
the convention to recommend Omaha az the
place for holding the national republican con-
vention in 1892. He bears letters from Senators
Waicott, Teller, Hon. Jno. NJ. Thurstou and
others asking the convention to adopt q reso-
luton to that effect.
The Kentucky constitutional convention
closed its labors yesterday and adjourned sine
die A singular error at the close in signing
the constitution is the statement that the work
was completed in the ninety-ninth year of the
states existence, when in fact it is the one
hundredth year.
The veteran republican party Of Cincinnati
Yesterday filed petition of nomination with
the secretary of state, as required by law. The
promoters Of the new party claim it will cut
quite figure in the result in Hamilton county
and the state.
State Senator McNaughton Of New York has
declined TO be candidate for denomination
owing 10 pressure of private business. The
democratic senatorial committee met at Roch.
ester yesterday afternoon to call the senatorial
convention.

Thus the child began, and was stopped
short By her mother.
"Lottie, how many times I've told you not
to begin with Now 1t is Now, mamma,
Now, can't, Now, 1 WILL Now, some
thing or other continually. Don't say 1t
againI The very first time you do I will
send you to stand 10 minutes in the corner"
Little Lottie knew full well the terrors of
that punishment. What an eternity it
seemed to her to stand that length of time
with her face to the wall, not allowed to
turn around, or speak, till told that the
time was out; for always after about three
minutes she felt sure the 10 minutes must be
passed, and that she, forgotten, must stand
there alwsysl So, cautious Lottie retreated
with her doll out of mammals hearing, and
it being already late in the day, escaped con-
demnation,
When the little nightgown had been
donned, and mamma said tenderly, Nov,
darling, say your little prayer" Lottie
failed to notice how the catcher had been
caught on the "Now," but answered.:

taken, Unorna would have to lead her there
alone. Unorna would herself be missed.
Sister Paul already suspected that the name
of Witch was more than mere sDDellation,
There would be search made, and suspi-
cion might easily fall upon Unorna, who
would have been obliged, Of course, to con.
ceal her enemy in her own house for lack OF
any other convenient place.
There was no escape from the deed. Bea-
trice must die. Unorna could produce death
in form which could leave no trace, and
it would be attributed to a weakness of the
heart. Does anyone account otherwise for
those sudden deaths which are no longer un-
frequent in the world. A man, a woman, is
to all appearance in perfect health. He or
she was last seen by friend, who describes
the conversation accurately. and expresses
astonishment at the catastrophe which fol-
lowed so closely upon the visit. He, or she,
is found alone by servant, or third per-
son, in profound lethargy, from which
neither restoratives nor violent shocks upon
the nerves can produce any awakening. In
one hour, or few hours, it is over. There
is an examination, and the authorities pro-
nounee an ambiguous verdict-death from a
syncope of the heart. Such things happen,
they say, with a shake Of the head.
And, indeed, they know that such things
really do happen, and thev suspect that
they do not happen naturally; but there
is no evidence, not even SO much as may
be detected in a clever case of vegetable
poisoning. The heart has stopped beating,
and death has followed. There are wise
neil by the score to-day who do not ask
what made it stop?' but who made it stop?'
But they have no evidence to bring, and the
new Jurisprudence. which in some countries
covers the cases of thefts and frauds COM
mitted under hypnotic suggestion, cannot as
yet lay down the law for cases where man
has been told to die, and dies-from weak
ness OF the heart. And yet it is known,

smile at this experienced mans pretensions,
declaring it impossible he should have
picked up land so inconspicuous by so dim
and so dispersed a light. 1 know better
now. Impossible for US, it was quite possi-
bic for him. l have stood by, for instance,
while the captain and the mate of the
Equator picked up Butaritari or Great
Maxim in the Gilberts, and identified point
after point, all correctly, as the morning
proved; and I soberly confess that saw
nothing. Yet, as far as eyesight goes,
believe 1 was superior to either. What 1
lacked was q habit of the mind similar to
that by which the Indian is so swift to spy
game and follow footprints, or the man Of
letters detect misreadings in page of print.
Even while We smiled at the mate, we
must yet bow to his deliverance. He was
the only man of practice in these waters;
our sole pilot, shipped for that end at Tai-o-
hae. If we declared we had missed Takaroa,
it was not for us to quarrel with the fact,
but, If we could, to explain it. We had
certainly run down our southing. Our
canted wake upon the sea and our some
what drunken-looking course upon the
chart both testified with no less certainty to
an impetuous westward current. We had
no choice but to conclude we were again set
down to leeward; apd the best we could do
was to bring the Casco to the wind, keep a

the question. At that rate, instead of drift
ing to the west, we must have fetched up 30
miles to windward. And how about the
current? 1t had been setting US down, by
observation. all these days; by the detection
of our wake, it should be setting us down
that moment. When had it stopped? When
had it begun again7 and what kind of
torrent was that which had swept us east
ward in the interval? To these questions,
SO typical of navigation in that maze of
isles, have no answer. Such were at least
the facts; and it was our first experience of
the dangerous archipelago, to make our
landfall 80 miles out.
The night fell lovely. After the moon went
down, the heaven was thing to wonder at
for stars. And as lay in the cockpit and
looked upon the steersman I was haunted
by Emerson's verses:
And the lone seaman all the night
Sails astonished among stars.

loosely the South Seas, extends from tropic
10 tropic and from perhaps 1900 W. to 1900
F., parallelogram of 1000 by 40, where
degrees are the most spacious. Much of it
lies vacant, much is closely sown with
isles, and the isles are of two sorts.
The Two Kinds of Isles.
No distinction is so continually dwelt
upon in South Sea talk as that between the
low and the high island, and there is none
more broadly marked in nature; the Hima-
lavas are not more different from the Sa.
hara. On the one hand, and chiefly in
groups from eight to dozen, volcanic ISL
ands rise above the sea; few reach an alti-
tude of less than 1000 feet; one exceeds 49,
600; their tops are often obscured with cloud,
they are all clothed with various
forest all abound in food, and all are re-
markable for picturesque and solemn
scenery.
On the other hand we have the atoll;
thing Of problematic origin and history, the
reputed creation OF an insect apparently un-
identified; rudely snnular In shape, enclos-
ing a lagoon, rarely extending beyond a
quarter of a mile at its chief width, often
rising at its highest point to less than the
stature of man-man himself, the rat and
the land crab, its chief inhabitants; not
much more variously supplied with plants;
and offering to the eve, even when perfect,
only a ring of glittering beach and verdaut
foliage, inclosing and inclosed by the blue
sea. From one group Of the first class to
another, from the Marquesas to the Societys,
our course now Law. And it was barred
across by whole feet of atolls; the group

the Dangerous Archipelago, and in native

put into this cylinder dessert spoonful of
tartaric acid. Fasten this cartridge thus
manufactured by pin and thread to the
cork of the bottle, which is placed upright
on the table. Let the opening of the cart
ridge be at the top, and regulate the length
50 that it does not touch the water. Then
cork the bottle tightly. Now our cannon is
loaded, all that remains to be done is to fire
it off; for this purpose, place the bottle care
fully in horizontal position on two pencils
laid parallel on the table, to form gun
carriage. The water penetrating the tube
or cartridge will dissolve the tartaric acid
and the carbonic acid gas which will be the
result will force the cork out of the bottle
with violent explosion. BY the effect of
this reaction the bottle will roll back, imi-
tating the recoil of piece of artillery.
