The Third District.

The Third Congressional District,
though it got no place on the State ticket,
had the honor of furnishing the conven-
ton with temporary chairman and presi-
dent both-and both excellent presiding
officers
Mr.. MUNFoRD, for young mamie will
look young even when he grows Old in
years-deyeloped great talent in this d.
rection and dispatched his share OF the
conventions business with q grace and
celebrity which was very gratifying to all
who wanted to finish the work in one Jay.
As for Speaker CALDWELL, he is O model
chairman of popular assemblage. Big
of heart brain. voice, and body, the
cavel in his hands becomes an emblem OF
authority which all men are bound to re-
spect. His appraised arm rarely fails 10
command order. His rule, however,
though firm, Is eminently Iust. There Is
nothing arbitrary about MIN.
We may well claim. too, to have fur
nished three Of the best speeches of the
convention-thosem made by SrBINGFELLow,
MUNFoRD, and BUFoRD.
Colonel BUFoRD's was delivered late at
night and under circumstances not alto
gether cheering to him, but was never
thelegs marked by a dignity and elOquence
which entitled him TO be called fine
speaker. All three of these gentlemen
have given proof that they can do good
work on the hustlngs, and they need not
be surprised if near and distant counties
call for their services during the canvass.

when the Visitors Began to Shoot ut

He was without doubt the slowest
man in the mining camp, says the
Detroit Free Press. Slow to anger
and slow to quit II he ever got started.
That everybody liked him had gone
into proverb, and to speak of man
as "Jim's friend" didn't mean any
man in the camp in contradistinction
to any other. He had killed his man,
possibly two, or three, or four of
them, but that was long ago and he
had forgotten the exact number 1t
was enough for him to have peace in
the present without going back q
year or more into the past. Nothing
seemed to disturb him now, and his
was the same imperturbable good
nature whether the occasion was
wedding or funeral. One day in
the shack whore he took his meals
two ill-tempered miners. from over
the mountain appeared and sat
down at the slab table with him. He
didn't know them, but nodded to
them pleasantly, and asked question
or two in accordance with the noun
tain custom, then relapsed into
silence. The men were evidently not
friends and in few minutes began
cursing each other. This was fol-
lowed by plate hurled across the
table; next went a molasses can and
meat dish and few knives and
forks. Jim We Mt on eating, perfectly
unmoved. Then the men began
circling around the table, lodging
and shooting and shooting and dodg-
ing. Jim arose to his feet slowly as
the bullets were pinging against the
wooden walls of the shack.
Gentlemen" he said with dignity,
"excuse me. AS am not being con
suited in this affair l think l shall
retire." and he backed out and shut
the door on the consultation.

Some Interesting and Peculiar Facts
Concerntng Them.
A leading authority of the United
States agricultural department at
Washington is responsible for the as
sertion that there should be at least
$4,000 angle worms 30 every acre of
fertile farm land.
One of the wonders of the worm
world is Nematoxis eocena, creature
that casts ice with as much avidity as
the silkworm does mulberry or Usage
orange leaves. Professor Pintori, a
Smithsonian institution authority, of
q few years ago, believes that these
ice-eating wonders will finally Con ac-
count of their rapid increase in the.
Arctic region), gnaw thcough the Ice
bergs and make a trip to the pole an
easy task.
The earthworms of Cape Colony,
South Africa, specimens of which may
be seen in any well-regulated Amer
lean college museum, have a maxi
mum length Of six feet five inches and
are thick accordingly. When Vr.
Nicer and the other Dutch explorers
first visited the Good Hope regions
these Shiny creatures were regular

In China there Is a kind of worm
that regularly falls prey toa species
of parasitic fungus. In the course of
time this fungus pervades the poor
worms entire anatomical structure,
converting him into woody fiber, in
which state he is esteemed as being a
valuable medicine.
New Zealand, Australia, the Samoan
and Solomon islands, as well as por-
tions of the Hawaiian group, are the
homes of various species of worms
with thick, heavy bodies, and with q
well-defined neck connecting the body
with head that is startling re-

A Valuable Hindoo Idol.

The famous Hindoo god Lingam is
now owned by an English gentleman
OF culture, who paid q sum equal to
$4,000 for 1t at an auction sale of
East India relics in 1883. This sacred
image stands but twelve and one-half
inches high, but, small az 1t is, 1t is
we'll worth its weight in first water
diamonds. The base Of the figure is
Of pure hammered gold, and around
it are set nine gems-a diamond ruby,
sapphire, chryso, beryl, cat's-eye, cor
al, pearl, hyacinthe, garnet, emerald
and moonstone. The apex OF the fig
ure, which is in the shape Of pyra-
mid, is encircled with plinth set
with .small but very fine dia-
monds. The pinnacle Of the pyramid
is topaz one and ten-sixteenths oil
