THE EVENING SESSION.
4 Change and q Choice Of Six
Representatives

The evening session of the eonyen-
ton opened shortly after o'clock.
The room was well filed sometime
before this, however, snd the nomin-
adons Of the afternoon were the only
topic spoken OF. Just before the meet
ing was called 10 order, the ADyE8-
User extra arrived, and the delegates
saw, in print, all that had been done
an hour before.
When Chairman Kennedy called
the meeting 10 order, everybody set

nominating representatives. Mr.. P.
c. Jones was introduced and said:
"After returned home, heard
had received q sufficient number Of
votes 10 receive the nomination for
senator. But in looking over the list,
find there are no mechanics. This
was s great disappointment to me, for
I think the mechanics here are our
great stay. I was sorry 10 see that
my friend NJ. McCandless was only
one vote short, and wish you would
allow me 10 resign in his favor"
!. : Martin moved that Mr.. Jones
resignation be accepted.
Mr.. Emmeluth said he did not be-
lieve any man placed in nomination
who had pledged himself as Mr. Jones
had, should be allowed TO resign. The
ticket having been made up, it should
stand Is 1t Is.
Mr. Towse said the work of the
Convention Was TO elect six men.
This had been done; but If one Of
those men wished TO resign be should
be allowed to do so.
Mr.. Crozier wanted TO thank Nh
Jones for what he had said about
mechanics, and thought that q me
chanie should be 10 the Senate.
Mr.. Bishop said there was still 8
chance for the mechanics to be repre-
sented in the House.
NJ. Fisher said Mr. Jones had 3

IF you WANT A GOOD
CHE WING GUM.

The practice of chewing gum
is old. Our great grandfathers
used to be gum chewers. They
gathered the gum themselves
in the woods. But perhaps
you've tried chewing spruce
gum" That was the olden
time gum. There wasn't any
better gum then. Life is too
short to chew any other sort
but BEEMAN's. It's up-to-date.
It's ready and chewable from
the start.
Mr.. Beeman says there is a
small amount of pepsin in each
tablet. You know that pep
sin aids digestion. We have
customers who affirm that
their digestion has improved
since they have chewed BEE
MANS Gun.
Have you ever tried it It's
a five-cent experiment.
Give the children BEEMAN's
GUN. It's better for them
than candy; it's cheaper; it
won't up set their stomachs.

TILLAGE IN CHINA.
EARNING Is Very Primitive and Makes
Poor Returns.

Apart from the yellow Lands" of
the Hoang-ho, which need no manure,
the arabic regions OF China seem to
have maintained their fecundity for
over four thousand years, entirely
through the thoughtful care of the
peasantry in restoring to the soil, un-
der another form, all that the crops
have taken from it. The blowing OF
the Chinese is very poor. They scarce
ly do more than scratch the surface of
the ground with their bent-stick plows,
wooden-tooth drills and wicl1er-work
harrows: and instead of straight lines
so dear to the eye of the western far
mer, the ridges and burrows are as
crooked as serpents. The real secret
of their success seems to lie in the care
they take to replenish the soil. All
the sewage of the towns is carried out
every morning at daybreak by special
coolies, to be preserved for m anure;
while the dry herbs, straw, roots and
other vegetable refuse, are econo-
mized with the greatest care for fuel.
The Chinese peasant offsets the rude
ness of his implements with manual
skill. He weeds the ground SO care
fully that there is scarcely leaf above
the ground that does not appertain to
the crop All kinds of pumps and hy-
draulic wheels are worked, either by
the hand, animals, or the wind. The
system of tillage, therefore, resembles
market-gardening rather than the
broad method of cultivation common
in Europe and America. The land is
| too valuable to be devoted to pasture,
and the forests nearly everywhere have
| been sacrificed to tillage to such an ex'
tent that the material for the enor
mously thick native collins has now x
be imported from abroad. -Centur-

Sir Francis johnson, chief-justice
of the superior court of Province of
Quebec, on one of his circuits in the
eastern townships during the winter,
put up at a country hotel The night
was bitterly cold, and the hotel pro-
prietor was not extravagant in his fuel
supply or in the weight of his blankets.
The judge put over his coverings
his heavy coat and other clothes; still
the wind and arctic frost became colder
and colder, and sleep he found impos-
sible. 1t was after midnight, and no
one round to make fire. The Judge
arose. and, putting on his slippers and
dressing gown, went into the passage
and shouted with all his power: Fire,
fire, fire. In few seconds the whole
of the hotel was aroused, and each
frightened one inquiring where it was.
Then came the proprietor. Painting
and scared, he ran for the judge and
screamed out: where is the fire,
where is it?" The judge, with merry
twinkle in his eye, replied: "That's
what 1 am trying to find" A good
fire was at once made in the hall, and
the rest of the night passed in comfort

boat 1t is with no little difficulty,
and much hitching and foundering
that he drags his huge bulk upon a
sandy shore even with the boosting
that he gets from behind by the break
ers as they roll in and dash against
him. His hind fippers are of little use
on land; and On sand or pebbles, where
his front fiippers do not hold well, the
labor of tiorndering forward is so great
that he never stirs beyond the edge of
the water, and usually lies with his
body half awash, with the salt spray
dashing over him like torrents of rain.
On solid rock or ice he gets along much
better, and often a herd will spread
several rods back from the water S

more freedom of motion than the old

feeding, fighting or resting ashore. In

Nobody seemed to know, but he was
told where she lived, and the cavalcade
of cowboys turned their horses around,
and passed from the church into the
bright sunlight.
The horse had been trotting briskly,
but upon nearing the little, half-de-

the sage brush and wild flowers their
pace slackened, and they finally came
to a standstill before the broken gate.

of the boys.

BENTON, LOUISIANA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1884,

AS the pastor was gathering for the
elimination of the prayer, the leader
turned to his companions and said in
an undertone: Now. then," and their
horses hoofs resounded on the wooden
floor of the church.
The startled congregation, rising
with one accord, beheld Spot, the cow
boy, riding solemnly down the aisle
followed by his companions.
Don't be alarmed, ladies n gentle
men. We're only come to join in the
services, an I'll trouble you to sit
still till they're over" said Spot, with
a smile manufactured for the occasion,
as the people seemed inclined to de-
part rather precipitously.
"An' fer you, parson," said Spot,
pointing his revolver at the trembling
man. Il amt had no one to pray for
me since | was little kid at my nam
my's knee. You jist get down on
your knees and pray fer me now"
The little man did not seem quite
ready to depart for the better land. so,
covered by Spots revolver, he was
obliged to sink on his knees and begin
his prayer.
Lord" he prayed in a quivering
voice-"Oh, Lord-forgive and protect
this poor sinner"
''See here, now, l don't want you
givin' the Lord no mistaken impress
sion bout me. You tell him about
the benefit am t this yere world"
The parson prayed for some time,
then prepared to rise.
THAT amt enough" shouted Spot,
hourishing his revolver. 'I'u be
hanged eff I'm not goin' to have enough
prayin' to last me week, and here's
all these boys amt been prayed for
yet"
So the parson resumed his prayer.
Several times he attempted to finish
and arise, but every time Spot com
PEELED him to return to his prayer. AT
last, when he was out of breath, stiff
in every joint and sick with fright,
Spot condescendingly said:
There, little 'un, that's enough.
And now we're going to take up a col
lection Boys, take yer hats 'roun',
n don't let any guilty man escape"
Two of the boys, each holding a hat
in one hand aud revolver in the
other, passed about the church, com
pelling every member of the terrified
congregation to give some contribu-
ton.
Those who had no money were
obliged to give watch or a ring, or
some other jewel or trinket, that they
might have about them, and finally il
was all brought to Spot, who turned
the collection over to Billy.
