Nellie Lewis Carnation.

The latest and one OF the best novelties
for 1891 is an elegant Carnation, growing
on long stems. free bloomer with large
flowers of an exquisite shade OF pink some
thing entirely different from anything in
Carnations. This flower is destined to be-
come a great favorite among the florists,
as ladies prize it very highly for corsage
bouquets and decorative purposes general
ly. The endorsement of the old firm of
James Wick, Rochester, n. Y, who intro
duce this plant, is enough TO assure the
public that il is all they claim for it. The
price is only so cents each, three for Sips,
six for e .25, doz., $780, but better way
would be to send 10 cents for Vick's Floral
Guide and the 10 cents can be deducted
from the first order forwarded for seeds.

A Clever Dogs Trick.

A correspondent sends from Michi-
gan true story Of a farmers dog
who has been found guilty of obtain.
ing goods under false pretenses.
He is extremely fond Of sausages,
and has been taught by his owner to
go after them for himself, carrying a
written order in his mouth.
Day after day he appeared at the
butchers shop, bringing his masters
order, and by and by the butcher be-
came careless about reading THE
document. Finally, when settlement
day came, the farmer complained that
he was charged with more sausages
than he had ordered.
The butcher was surprised, and the
next time Lion came in with slip of
paper In his mouth he took the trouble
to look at it. The paper was blank,
and further examination showed that
whenever the dog felt craving for
sausage he looked around for piece
of paper and trotted off to the butch
er's.
The farmer is something out of
pocket, but squares the account by
boasting of his dogs intelligence

The Tickets for '92.

Springfield Republican, (1nd.);
There are many who say that if Gov.
Campbell can carry Ohio a second
time, and in the face of the odds ap-
parently against him, he will be a for
midable figure in the next Democratic
Convention, even though Cleveland's
courage in forcing the tariff issue to the
front had made the way for his sue
cess.
PiHsburg Post { Dem.): Should the
Democracy of the other States of the
Union declare for Cleveland within the
next ten months it might influence the
New York delegation to lead off in
presenting his name. Otherwise, and
should the intensity Of opposition to
Cleveland on the part of the New York
delegation prelude his nomination, the
West will claim and get the candidate.
And it will be a Western man select
ed by Cleveland's friends, with the
New York anti, Cleveland delegates
having very little say.so in the matter.
Philadelphia Record (Dem.): If
Mckinley should happen to be defeat
ed in Ohio it would drive the dismay-
ed Republicans into the Blaine camp.
On the contrary, if Mckinley should
pull through he would be a stumbling
block in the way of both Harrison and
Blaine. Much depends upon the cast
Of the die this year in the Buckeye
State.
SAT- francisco Call (Rep.): The
Republicans want man who can poll
the full strength of the party and a
reasonable share Of the independent
vote. There will probably be new
planks incorporated in the party plat
form. There will be an immigration
plank, perhaps silver plank, and
possibly a plank defining the attitude
the Governments should take respecting
the admission of foreign States that
may desire to become part of the
Union. A candidate should be select
ed who can stand squarely on what
ever platform may be adopted.
