Nashville, Tenn. May S.-The

adjourned It was free silver con-

Trenton, N. j., May 7.-Early
morning trains brought Democratic

followers from ell parts of the state,
until the crowd of last evening grew
to respectable proportion long be
fore the time for opening the con.
ventio. The convention was called
to order at noon. Speaker James G..
Bergen of Somerset county was tenn.
porary chairman and made the open
ing address, in which he asked that

honest money with gold, not "coin,' y

He declared the present tariff laws
were substantially right and greatly
superior to any that might be ex,
pected from the apostle of high pro-
lection.
Assemblyman John W. Queen was
decided on for permanent chairman.
The delegates at large fully agreed
upon are to be United States Sena
tor Smith, Allen McDermot, United
States Senator Rufus Blodget and
Albert L. Tallman, the latter of
Gloucester county.

The fern was supposed to seed only on
st. Johns night and thus to possess
those singular properties for which it
had become almost sacred. The gather
ing of the seed was believed to be at
tended with considerable danger. Poyet,
in his "Pandemonium," published in
1854, says: "Much discourse hath been
about gathering of fern seed (Which is
looked upon as magical herb) on the
night Of midsummers eve, and re-
member was told of one who went to
gather it, and the spirits whisked by his
ears like bullets and sometimes struck
his hat and other parts of his body. In
fine, though he apprehended he had got
ten quantity of it and secured it in pa
pers and box beside. when he got home
he found all empty. But most probable
this appointing of time and hours is of
the devils own institution, as well as the
fact that having once ensnared people to
an obedience to his rules he may with
more facility oblige them to striotel
vassalage. Boston Herald.

DR.. Holmes schoolmat..

One OF tho most amusing Of Dr. Holmes
experiences as q meeting when he was al
ready past his prime with an old Andover
schoolmnte.
The doctor had given lecture In Mas
saohusetts city, and the next day his host,
leading citizen, took him out for drive
about town. The doctor espied over door
name that long ago was familiar to him.
His entertainer made the introduction,
but the merchant showed more interest in
the citizen than in his undersized guest.
The doctor inquired II lao was not stu
dent in Phillips, Andover, in 1926. The
merchant replied that he was there at that
time
"Do you remember q boy there named
Holmes-Oliyer Wendell HolmesY"
After slight hesitation he answered: /:
"Ycs. Littlo follow, wasn't hep
The doctor admitted that such was the
fact and added that lie was that boy. The
old schoolmate looked him over without
muCh appearance of interest.

small account to his whilom schoolmate.

Farmers, You Want This.

''The Ohio Farm Laws and Legal
Forms is a book that every farmer
should have.
portant chapters: animals, chattel
mortgages, contracts, descent and dis
tribqtion Of property, dover, drain
age laws, fence laws, game laws, grist
mills, grain warehouses, husband and
other exemptions, landlord and
tenant, mechanics lein, offenses
against property, principal and sure
ty, trespass, wills, work and labor,
compulsory education of children.
and the last chapter contains all kind
of legal forms, contracts, notes, guar
antees, Endorsements, etc.
The book is not one of mere com
ments and suggestions, but it contains
the law as it stands on the statutes of
Ohio to-day. All the repeals are
stricken out and all the amendments
added. Supreme court decisions are
given freely, thus giving every man
who possesses this valuable book the
opportunity of knowing what the law
is, and what his rights are under the
law. The chapter on Landlord and
Tenant is worth $40 to any man. 1t
is correct, and gives the laws SO plain
that it can not be misunderstood. All
the other chapters are equally valua-
BILE.
The book contains 234 pages, is
printed in large, easy-reading type,
and is substantially bound in cloth.
1t sells for $1.00 wherever offered.
But the publishers of the NORTHWEST
seeing what an invaluable book it
would be for farmers in Henry county,
have bought a large quantity of the
books, and are offering them as fol-
lows: For $1.25, when the subscrip-
tion is paid in advance, we give this
elegant book and one years subscrip-
ton to the NORTHWEST. The book
cannot be bought anywhere else in
Henry county. See full particulars

cuRFEw TIDE.

The thrushes sing in every tree;
The shadows long and longer grow;
Broad sanbenms lie athwart the lea;
The oxen lowf
Round roof and tower tho swallows slide;
And slowly, slowly sinks the sun,
At curfew tide,
When day Is done.
Sweet sleep, the nighttime's fairest child,
Ger all the world her pinions spreads;
Each flower beneath her influence mild
Fresh fragrance sheds;
The owls, on silent wings and wide,
Steal from the woodlands, one by one,
At curfcw tide,
When day IL done.
No more clanrang tho rookery rings
With voice OF many noisy bird;
The startled wood doves Gathering wings
10 moro are heard:
With sound like whispers family sighed,
Soft breezcs through the treetops run,
At curfew tide,
When day is done.
So may it be when life is spent,
When ne'er another sun can rise,
Nor light one other Joy present
To dying eyes;
Then softly may the spirit glide
To realms Of rest, disturbed by none,
At curfew tide,
When day is done.

ECCLESIASTICAL ROME.
An Always Present Power That Gives the
City Ifs Importance.

Il
City Its Importance.
"Ecclesiastic" Rome is the strong
hold of a most tremendous fact from
whatever point Of view Christianity
may be considered. If one could in i'm
agination detach the head of the Catho-
lie church from the church, one would
be obliged to admit that no single living
man possesses the farreaching and last
ing power which in each succeeding pa
pal reign belongs to the pope. Behind
the pope stands the fact which confers,
maintains and extends that power from
century to century-a power which is
one Of the hugest elements OF the
worlds moral activity. both in its own
direct action and in the counteraction
and antagonism which it calls forth
continually.
It is the all pervading presence of this
greatest fact. literally, in Christendom
which has carried ON Rome's importance
from the days of the Csesars across the
chasm of the dark ages to the days of
modern popes, and it is this really enor-
nous Importance which continually
Throws forward into cruel relief the
puerilities and inanities of the daily
outward world. 1t is the consciousness
of that Importance which makes old Ro-
man society what 1t is, with its virtues,
its vices, its prejudices and its strange,
old fashioned, close listed kindliness,
which makes the contrast between the
saturnalia of Shrove Tuesday night and
the cross signed with ashes upon the
forehead of Ash Wednesday morning,
between the careless laughter of the Ro-
man beauty in carnival and the tragic
earnestness of the same lovely face when
the great lady kneels in Lent before the
confessional to receive upon her bent
head the light touch of the penitentiary's
wand, taking her turn perhaps with a
score of women of the people. It is the
knowledge of an always present power,
active throughout the whole world,
which throws deep, straight shadows, as
it were, through the Roman character,
just as in certain ancient families there
is secret that makes grave the lives of
those who know t.-Marion Crawford
