The following remarkable
story is voucbed for by a we'll
known clerical gentleman of
this city, who always has a
fund of amusing yarns at his
tongues end, which are new
and entertaining.
Some time ago a handsome
and interesting society woman
entered the studio of famous
metropolitan photographer for
the purpose of having her love
ly features perpetuated upon
cardboard. The artist knew his
client, and was very anxious
to please her, and produce a
picture worthy of SO fair a sub
ject. Consequently he spared
neithsr time nor care in ar
ranging a satisfactory pose.
Finally everything was in
readiness, the lady was told to
"look pleasant" the camera
sprung" and she had been
"taken." The lady sighed with
relief, and the artist disappear
ed with his plates into the dark
room. In a short time, however,
he returned, wearing puzzled
and somewhat chagrined look
upon his face. With many
apologies he informed the lady
that for some unaccountable
reason his plates would not
develop; in fact, they were
hopelessly ruined, and be would
have to beg her to give him an
other sitting.
The ladyswas in a hurry, as
she had a dinner engagement,
but, anxious to have the bust
ness over with as long as she
had commenced it, she reluct
antly prepared to undergo an
other siege of contortions and
poses. The photographer was
slightly nervous by this time,
and 1t was somehow not so
easy to arrange the draperies
In careless ease or TO arrange
that queenly head to the best
advantage. Do his best, she,
who was naturally so graceful,
seemed, when viewed through
thy camera, TO be all angles,
the shoulders TOO high or he
head too low. But at last all
was we'll, aud again he remov-
ed the cap, having previously
NEST carefully examined the
plates to see that no imperfec-
lions existed there.
Il will wait for a few mo-
ments," said the lady good
naturally. 'lo see if the results
are more satisfactory than be
fore"
ooh, | am sure there can not
possibly be any defects this
time" he replied reassuringly,
as he retired to the seclusion
OF darkness. When, in IA few
moments he appeared again,
his face was study, comical
in lis puzzled despair. The lady
could not refrain a smile as she
asked, "Wrllr'
No, madame, not well at all;
IN fact, | never saw sicker look
ing negatives. To tell the truth,
can't in The least account for
il, but the features are so blur

SHERMAN ON COINAGE

~ In ava Nv Wv SOI4N4 lo1-.
The following remarkable
utterance of the original con-
spirator and present apologist
for gold monometalism, ap-
pears on P sc 1881 of the Con
gressional Globe, Forty-fourth
congress, first session, volume
4, part ,:
Our coinage act came into
operation on the Ist of April,
1873, and constituted the gold
81 piece the sole unite of value
while it restricted the legal ten
der of the new silver dollar and
half dollar and subdivisions
to an amount not exceeding
S. in one payment. Thus the
double standard previously ex
isting was finally abolished,

to try once more"
The lady herself was not only
a very determined character,
but of an inquiriug mind as
well, and little relished being
baffled at any undertaking, so
she replied facetionsly:
Il have heard tell Of people
breaking the camera in attempt
ing to have their ugliness per
petuated, but really, now, 1
tiattered myself thatI was not
quite so bad as that. don't
like to be defeated in SO small
a matter, so We will try again,
even if | miss my engagement"
Suppose We try a different
PLAN" she continued, as the
artist again set about arrang
ing scIeens and shades: "Let
me pose myself, and we will
have only the head idealized.
Make it a perfect profile. l
know my own features and
good points so well that I am
sure we shall have better re
suits, if / simply take my own
natural position, and besides,
it will save time"
And 80 the lady's Grecian
features were sharply outlined
against a black background
and again the artist attempted
to make a negative, and the
lady awaited the result. She
was not long in suspense.
"It's really no use," said the
artist finally, as be showed her
q plate he had tried to develop,
and which revealed, instead of
her classic profile a blurred, in
distinct mass of-what2 Neither

| even tried fresh chemicals
with these, but with no better
results. If you will call again

the lady took her departure,
rather Disguised.
The next day the artist re

ton were named by noted orators and the
usual demonstrations held.
Bland was cheered to the echo, and a
scene of the widest enthusiasm ensued
when Senator Vest mentioned his name at
the end OF his nominating spesch.
Bryan, suddenly injected into the list OF
probable candidates by bis speech of the
morning, was put before the convention in
the maiden effort of Delegate II. 7. Lewis
of Georgia, who established reputation for
natural oratory in the few brief moments
he took for the purpose, and equal to the
demonstration for Bland was that which
followed the Georgia delegates address.
A girl in white, frantic in her enthusiasm
for Horace Boies, leaped TO chair in the
gallery and waved Boies banner with
frenzied vehemence, and nearly every man
in the vast hall, whether from gallantry or
actual sympathy, rose and cheered with
right good viii.
And when the pretty young woman,
swaying. jumping, clapping her hands
and giving vent to her emotion in divers
other ways, marched through delegates
and spectators with the Boies standard
borne above her head, the audience caught
the full spirit Of her enthusiasm and
shouted approval with might and main.
Until late in the night these stirring
scenes continued and the thousands gath

closing sentence the idol of Carolina lay
broken, Inundated and disgraced in the
eyes of sIl honest Democrats. at the foo; of
the fiimsy pedestal on which it had been
reared. His remarks concerning the New

York Democracy in general were resented
by every man in the convention who knew
and respected the patriotism, the party
loyalty and the ability of such magnificent
men as Senator Hill and his colleagues.

feeling Of justice and magnanimity Sleep
ing at the base of every mans heart,
whether he be savage or civilized. and this
feeling was stirred into life by the rancor-
Gus words OF Tillman OF the evil eye.
When the gallant David Bennett Hill OF
New York appeared upon the platform,
he was greeted with q round OF cheers and
with q spontaneous outburst of enthusi-
asm, which must have cut deeply into the
pride of the South Carolinan who had
abused him. This outburst OF applause was
intended and interpreted as WELL
merited rebuke TO demagogy, unman-
illness and abuse, but the programme Of
Boss Altgeld had to be followed to its Iogi-
cal termination. and the speech of Tillman
went along with the hide and horns.
It was remarked to-day in conversation

politician who gets up in public, respect

gentleman, TO utter will become famous for

tor Tillman. had thought he was q SIN
cere patriot suffering in secret for the
wrongs of his people and manly enough to
stand up in the Senate and denounce
political corruption, even though it reeked
on the threshold of the White House. But
when / heard him to-day resurrect the
bloody shirt, attempt to reopen the old
wounds of the war, glorify secession and
the firing upon the flag at Fort Sumter,
saw ct once that he was playing for popu-
larity with the very lowest and most dis
loyal element of the South. To-day ends
Tillman's career as statesman and poll

Attention,

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, Ill.
July 9.-The delegates were slow in reach
ing Convention Hall this morning, and it
was nearly IL o'clock before the fail of the
gayel announced that another days ses-
sion of the National Democratic Conven-
ton had begun. There were at that time
many empty seats in the part OF the hall
reserved for the delegates, but the seats OF
the spectators were all occupied.
Before the convention was called to or
der the principal subject of interest was
the announcement that the com mittee on
platform had added to the platform a
strong plank against the 4. p. A., and de-
claring that every citizen of the United
States is entitled to civil and religious
liberty.
There was considerable discussion, too,
as to the probability of bolt, for it was
recognized that if bolt was to come it
would come to-day.
State Senator Grady of New York, after
taking his seat among the New York dele
gates, said to representative OF the
United Press: sit is practically agreed
among the New York delegates 10 express
no decided opinion as a body upon the
deliberations of this convention. We will
return home silently, will hold an early
State Convention, and will there decide
what we shall do"
Although the platform had been almost
completed yesterday the committee on
resolutions went into session shortly be-
fore 10 o. clock this morning to put the fl n
ishing touches to it. Neither Senator Hill.
Ex-Governor Russell nor any of the promi-
uent gold leaders On the committee were
at the meeting when it was called to order.
About two-lhITds of the members were
present. Senator Hill entered the com-
mittee-room at 10 O'Clock.
1t was just 1852 when the chairman
called the convention to order.
Senator White of California, permanent
chairman, called the assembly to order.
Prayer was offered by Rev. Thomas T..
Green, who offered prayer yesterday. Rep
resentative Richardson of Tennessee was
then called to the chair.
Senator Jones of Arkansas presented the
report of the committee on platform and
the various points in the platform were
enthusiastically cheered as they were read.
When the Cuban plank was reached
some one IN the front aisle unfurled the
flag and waved it. This effort at theatre
cal effect was promptly suppressed by the
chairman, who raped sharply and COM
manded the sergeant-at-arms to "Haul
down that flag" which was Immediately
done and the incident was brought to an
ignomlnious close.
The platform is substantially as pre- spared
yesterday.
