valuable inventions have been worked
out, has just put forth a new contrivance
which promises to be exceedingly useful.

The idea of stopping it by electricity
has been tried before. but never by a pro-

BLOOD ON THE MOON.

And now things are come TO a pretty
pass
The dOuble-headed meeting to-nigh
has raised Cain, with large and tempt
ing G.
We understand that the idea now is tc
get the democratic convention fully or
ganized and then declare it to be mass
meeting of the people.
And we are further informed that this
causes many candidates to be dissatisfied
and that they will take no part in such
proceedings, and that they and their
friends, described as Legion, will call a
peoples meeting and place second
ticket in the field. We are further in
formed that the convention to. night is to
be principally manipulated in the in
terests of THOMAS PEAY, and that Bus
BEE, who conceived the idea of strafg bit
out and out convention, will not be in it.
We understand, also, that JASPER
CHRISTIAN and his friends are dissatis
fed with proceedings so far, and that
they favor postponement of the whole
affair until next Monday evening-so
that it can be duly announced that mass
meeting of all citizens-reg lrdless of
color or previous condition of servitude
may exercise the sovereign's right-and
cast his ballot for the man of his choice.
And, since THE GLOBE has had it's say
for two successive seasons, in the matter
OF the mayor business, we lift our hat
and tell them to go in lemons-knowing
some must come out squeezed-yet all of
this with assurance of our most distin-
yuished consideration.

1T is not to be apprehended that the
issue between the United States and
Turkey, growing out of the destruction
OF American property in the latter coun-
try by subject of the Porte, will have
any serious results. There may be more
or less diplomatic controversy, but it is
hardly probable that we shall be called
upon to send any war vessels to Turkey
to enforce our demands. 1t is satisfac-
tory to note that the administration took
prompt notice of the matter as soon as
Its attention was officially called to it.,

the policy of the last administration is to

respect. This country cannot with a
proper regard for its dignity indulge in

truth: would give mile of manhood

SIT in childhood gazing at a twinkling

dreams that vanished are would rather
have playhouse as the boys build every
