side the other and this difference becomes so
glaringly apparent that smile can scarcely

this You're pretty sure to be asked to pay
Just about as much for one as You can get the
other for. That seems to be incredible, but,
all the same, it is literally true.

TWO CONVENTIONS.

At l O'Clock, August 31st, the time
set for the meeting Of the Republican
State Convention, crowd commenced
to assemble at the courthouse in
Reno, aud soon after the seats outside
the railing were filed with spectators
After u weary and impatient writing
by the people present, it WIS learned
that conference, consisting Of the
chairman Of each county delegation,
was in session, to whom was left the
authority to make terms to be sub
united to the convention. Trenmor
Coffin, acting for the gtraig ht.outs,
stated in the conference that they
had held II meeting and were willing
to make certain concessions. For in
stance, they would concede that three
Republican electors 6e put up un.
pledged to anyone and that the plat
form would condemn Mr.. Harrison 3

free aud Unlimited cCinnge of silver.
After considerable discussion a mo.

mitee) 10 nominate three Harrison
presidential electors wns voted down.
A motion favoring independent cleo
tors was defeated. Another motion,
endorsing the Silver party electors,
also met with the Same fate. 1t was
then decided, by u close vote, that the
presidential electors be passed and
that the convention instruct the State
Central Committee not to put up any
eiectors.
It was thought that harmony would
prevail notwithstanding some loud
kicking by the strdight'outs, and it
was. rumored that tho latter would
not enter the convention. Five min
utes to three portion Of the dele
gates filed in and it began TO appear
as though the business OF the day
wasahbout to commence in earnest.
After further delay, owing TO the
absence OF Mr.. Stother, chairman of
the State Central Committee, Lewis
Waddell opened the proceedings by
moving that the secretary of the State
Csntsai Committee he authorized to

Col. +. @. Lord then took the chair
and announced rs the first business
the election OF temporary chairman.

ANOTHER CONVENTION.


The Republican delegates who
favor tho nomination Of q Harrison
and Reid electoral ticket met in
convention at Masonic hull.
At about 3:45 p. NJ. Enoch Strother,
Chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee, called the con
Vsntion to order. In doing 80 he said:
'1n obtdience to orders, and being
Chairman Of the Republican State
Central Committee, il becomes my
duty to call TO order n Republican
State Convention and will do so, un-
der tho following call" (Here tho

to that call, now call this Republi-
can State Convention to order"

mously elected Temporary chairman.
1t was moved and seconded that
the convention adjourn to meet at
this or any other hall that may be
selected by the chairman ut IL o'clock
A. N. tomorrow. Upon motion this
was amended 30 as To make it recess
instead Of ~ adjournment. Can ried.
The situation this evening is de.
cidedly mixed, and it is hard to sur
mise how things will shape. The
regular convention tomorrow will
undoubtedly lndorse the Silver party
electors and nominate Mr. NewIands
for Congress, while the boiling con-
vention will put up Harrison electors
and possibly Mr.. Bartine for Congress.
Convention No. l held about 80
delegates while No. 2got the balance.
II is report ed that Secretary of

days later he discovered the cucum-

He was surprised beyond measure
and took it to the house and his
father had the bottle filled with al

Famous Walls of Antiquity,

AS builders of walled cities the AS
syrians and the Egyptians tower
above the engineer architects of far
more recent times. Such works as
the walls of Lachish, of Babylon and
of Nineveh have never even been
planned within historical days. The
site of many a once famous Egyptian
city is now only to be traced by the
line of mighty earth rampant which,
when pierced by the picks and spades
of the explorers, reveals masses of
masonry so gigantic in their ruin
that one can hardly estimate what
their size must have been when per
feet.
By the side of them the fortifica-
tions of Paris, which but little more
than twenty years ago withstood for
long months the attacks Of the most
perfect military forces of modern
times, appear puny and Insignificant,
just as the greatest of modern royal
palaces sink into nothingness when
measured alongside the pillared hall
of Seti at Karnask, or Sargon's pal
ace at Khorsabad. Cor. Chicago

Telling the Time of Night by the Clipper
A fairly reliable time indicator, it

AS is generally known, the group'of

north star in every twenty-four.

the outer elevation OF the bowl of

to the polar star continuously; if.
therefore, the position of the point
ers'' is taken at any given hour, say
6 o'clock in the evening in winter
time, and as soon as it is dark in the
summer, the hours can thereafter be
pretty accurately measured by the
eye during the night.
Frequent observations of position
will have to be made at the given
hour, as, owing to the constant
changing of the earth's position in
space, the position of the pointers
in relation to ones point of observa-
ton and the star also change. In
this way observations taken during

His Instructions to the crier.

A good story over which we can
imagine our grandfathers laughing
heartily is of an Irish gentleman
who was visited one day by friend
who found him very much vexed.
What is the matter?" asked the
visitor. "Youse seem much disturbed. y
II am, ":he answered. 1--WE just
lost new pair of black silk stock
ings out of my room that cost me
eighteen shillings.'
Have you searched everywhere"
asked the friend.
Eyes, " he said, everywhere; and
not finding them I have sent for the
town .crier, who will cry them and
offer half crown reward"
The friend expressed his surprise
that the owner should offer so small
a reward for the recovery of stock
ings of silk, and of such value.
'"That's all right" he replied, in a
confidential tone. "Nobody'll know.
I ordered the crier to say they were
worsted. "-Harper's Young People.

An Estimate of Daubigny.

Daubigny brought into landscape
art greater freshness and spontaneity
than had yet been seen, and his
work first seizes you by its force,
and then charms you. AS poems of
nature thrown off in the heat of pas
sion and feeling, so his works affect
you, and continue to do so the more
they are studied. He painted bet
ter than he knew when with palette
knife and brush he dashed in effects
lnstantaneously, and one wonders
how so much can be expressed by
such slight means.
He was among the first impress
sionists, and realism" was one of
his notices, but how different his art
from that too often called by these
names today. 1t was not the coarse
materiality, the surface qualities and
the bare optical effect alone that he
sought to render. He penetrated
deeper, and the surface was always
the outgrowth and expression of a
spiritual center. The thing and the
thought, the spirit and the matter,
were equally balanced, and never
did he put a touch of color to canvas
that had not first passed, no matter
how rapidly, through his own spirit
ual self.-Century.

MAY AND JUNE.

In May. behold the girlhood of the Year!
When all her childish April tears are shed.
And, like crown, upon her sunny head.
Gemmed bright with dainty dewdrops, crystal
clear,
She wears the first sweet blossoms that appear.
And with their virgin blooms is comforted.
Lo! At her smile the shuddering storms
have fled,
The winds their own light footsteps scarcely
On meadow and on hill the bluebirds COO,
And twittering swallows haunt the sunset
sky.
Each day that passes seems too sweet to die
And twilight fingers long before the dew;
And nights first diamond glitters bright and
high
Before the last farewells of day are through
But when May blossoms softly into June
Behold the Year then. beautiful and good.
just passing into early womanhood.
All lovely things appear in fair commune,
ana God seems'granting Nature every boon.
AS if some angel in midheaven stood,
And poured the blessings down in endless
food,
BY mornings sun and midnight's silver moon.
oh, then how sweet to open wide our souls,
And join the full beatitude that springs
From birds and flowers and all glad hearted
things;
Our hearts seem singing with the orioles;
Our spirits soar from care on hopes strong
wings,
And Sorrows cldtime knell no longer tolls.
