FIRST DAY.

The Convention met on June 16 with ses-
sion most exasperatinely placid to the Mchln-
leyites Fourteen thousand chairs there were
in ala tremendous number TO be sure, ana
vet far less than were in the Exposition nan
al Minneapolis four years ago. But the nan
was too large for the demand made upon IT
TODAY. Even at II o'clock, the time when the
Convention was to have been called to order,
not one-half of the seats were occupied, and
there must have been Mt least 3,OoO vacant
chairs throughout the whole proceedings.
The decorations were effective without being
extravagant, or especially ornate. The Ma
tonal colors WERE Of course, prominent AT
the main entrance was an oil painting oil the
birthplace Of Gen. Grant, and lead-colored
bust of that famous commander greeted the
delegates as they entered.
The latter were seated in the body OF the
vast hall upon comfortable bent-cane chairs,
and flanked on either side by the alternates.
From this nucleus there spread out on either
side ascending tiers of seats, and overhead
were sieeply-pitched galleries TO correspond.
The railing OF the galleries was covered wlth
q patriotic curtain, which formed a ckground
for banners bearing the coats-of-arms OF the
various States The roof itself WAS OF pure
white thousands of yards of cotton having
been tackled against the rafters, but so loosely
that they filled aud bellied with the wind like
the sails of hundred yachts standing ont TO
sea. A touch of the fantastic was given to the
scene by a row of large japanese lanterns, each
painted with a letter and the whole com mining
the words. Republican Convention" Other
decorations were equally effective.
The Convention was called to order by Thos.
II. Carter, Chairman of the National Commit
Tee. Rabbi Sale delivered the invocation, and
J. II. Manley. Secretary of the National Com

Frayne was merry with the music Of
Christmas preparation. Ever since re-
veille the men had been busily at work,
and while most of them were engaged
in the decoration of their barracks,
messrooms and the little chapel, Terry
Rorke, with a good sized squad, was
still putting the finishing touches on
the assembly hall. An odd thing had
happened that morning. No one had
ever known that fellow Graice to offer
to do stroke Of work Of any kind, espe-
cially where Rorke had anythingto do
with the matter. yet here he came, right
after reveille, to tell that very man that
if it was all the same to him he'd take
the place of Higgins, who had been put
on guard, and would help at the assem-

PORTRAITS OF WASHINGTON.

Scarcely Two of His Likenesses Re-
semble Each Other.
When General Grant died it was
noticed that as many portraits of him
were placed on sale as there we're ma
tionalities in New York. In Hebrew
quarters he was represented with an
nquiline nose. Pictures for sale in
Little Italy showed him slender faced
and with pointed beard, while the
great majority of his portraits in Ger
man quarters had something of o
Teutonic look.
This was not fanciful. Something
OF the same sort may be noticed in the
case of Washington. Many OF his por-
traits bear absolutely no resemblance
to each other. In early portraits he
appears as q rough, burly checked
young Englishman. In the Revolu-
tionary period French art ideas domi-
mated, and almost oil the portraits

The Atlanta Constitution says:
When the Civil War opened the wealth
of this country was estimated at
SIG, 900, 900. In 1890 it reached
s65. Os0, 900, 900, and in case of for
eign war we should now be an undi-
vided people. The most remarkable
fact connected with these figures is
that the United States accumulated
three times as much wealth during the
thirty years ending with 1890, as in
the $50 years preceding 1860.

pered to him:
"Better eat quickly; this breakfast
was not meant for us !"
Lafayette understood, and ate rap
idly, but heartily. In very short
time the meal was finished. The two
Generals rose, hastily but warmly
thanked Mrs. Alexander, and took
their leave.
They had scarcely ridden away to

A writer in the New York Herald
explains: The South is forging ahead
very rapidly. The year 1895 will be
memorable in its history for the new
enterprises which have been under
taken. Perhaps the Atlanta Exposi-
tion did MS much as anything to stir
local pride and suggest new business
ventures. / am told that the number
of plants in the iron producing dis
tricts has been greatly increased, and
that capitalists have reaped a good
profit Cotton mill building has been,

Over n million new spindles have been
employed, and that means pluck and
dash. The total number OF new con-
Germs during the last twelves months
is little over three thousand, as
against little more than two thousand
for 1898. The South is not in the
saddle, but it is on its feet, which is a
mighty sight better.

Passing on several years, we find

announced the approach OF General
