From the New York Herald.
 It was in Cincinnati in June 1SSo The democratic national convention was be- Ing held in sweltering weather. The delegates crowded the great hall in their shirt sleeves. A battle of the old giants was being fought. Tammany had again been rejected Her delegates had been thrown out after obtaining a favorable report from the committee on creden- tials. Men shook their fists in one an- others faces and swore as the conven- tion, like an overladen ship in heavy sea, slowly labored It's way toward a nomination.
 The roll of states was called for candi- dates. The name of Justice Field of Cal ifornia was placed before the conven- ton by a man who could not still the tu- mutt for an instant. He was not heard ten feet away from where he stood Then came the call of the state of Del aware A stalwart young giant mount ed the platform. Still the delegates shook their fists and swore.
 The giant began to speak, silence fell 
 in three days. He simply talked. As he | talked the mob realized that new ora
 tor had been born.
 MT. Chairman said the young giant,
 ''our candidate--he is no carpet knight rashly put forth to flesh a maiden sword
 in this great contest. He is veteran, 1 covered with the scars of many hard 1 fought battle where the principles or 1 constitutional liberty have been at stake in an arena where the giants of radical I ism where his foes.'
 The speaker was placing in nomination l Thomas F. Bayard-Bayard who had gone down before Tilden in St. Louis | four years before, who was to fall before Hancock the next day and who four years later was to be unhorsed by Cleve- | land in Chicago. The speaker lost his l candidate, but he tanned the mob in Cin- 1 cinnati, and he leaped into front rank 1 of takers in his party.

Purse-PrOud Younger Generation
Forget what Their Fathers
Might Have Been.

Pride is a feature of the younger
generation of Pittsburgers of wealth.
Things of which some of them think
they cannot be proud-such as the
way in which their Woodworking
fathers got their start in life-they
try to forget That the fathers are
sometimes proud of this same low
ly start is responsible for this Incl
dent.
"Do you know, young man, that
once was very envious of your
father?" said one of the steel kings
to the son of man whose wealth,
while great, could be written with
one less figure, says writer in the
New York Tribune.
"And when was that?" asked the
young man, pleased to think that
there had ever been a time when the
king" envied his father.
ut was this way" returned the
old man. 81 was working in a ditch
for $3.50 a day"
Il didn't know you started that
way" interrupted the youth
"Thats the way. / was working
in this ditch for $3.50 a day, and
your father was working in the same
ditch. He got $1.75 because he was
stronger, and I envied him the extra
quarter"

LIGHTNING STRIKES UP.
The Earth Becomes Charged with
Negative Current which
Rushes Upward.

The cause of death by lightning is
the sudden absorption of the electric
current When a thundercloud, which
is highly charged with positive cleo
tricity, hangs over any certain place,
the earth beneath it becomes abnor-
mally charged with the negative cleo
trio current, and a man. animal or
other object standing or lying directly
beneath also partakes of the last
mentioned influence, says a scientific
authority. If, while the man, animal
or other object is in this condition, a
discharge takes place from the cloud
above, the restorat tjon of the equilib-
rum viii be sudden and violent, or.
in language that we can all under
stand, the negative current from the
earth will rush up to join the positive
cloud current! and in passing through
the object which separates the two
currents, if it be an animate thing, will
do 50 with such force as to almost in
variably produce instant death. A
person is really "struck" by the
ground current, and not by the forked
fury from above.

very little help, had all he could do
to scrape a living out Of the place.
There was hardly any water, and
grass was scarce and poor; the total
profits only amounted to a pound or
two per month. When Mr.. salzman
had completed his survey De Beers,
tired of proftless toll on his patch
of sunburnt desert. offered to let
him have the faBn in exchange for a

Mr.. Salzman refused at first. and
then said he would think about it.
He went to Cape Town later on.
where he heard strange rumors of
lucky finds in the district he had
left
The next time he. trekked that way
he went go miles out Of his road to
see De Beers and clinch the bargain
offered. He found a strangers wag-
on and oxen "outspanned" at tho
farm when he arrived.
Its owner had come only few
minutes before and had already
made an offer for the farm which
was nccepted.

The KINGS BIRTHDAY.

Sa1utes Fired,

London, Nov. 10.-King Edward, who
was born November, 9, 1841, Monday
celebrated his birthday at Sandring-
ham, where there was the usual dinner
to the tenants Of the estate, at which
the king and queen and other members
of the royal family handed round the
dessert.
Outside the customary salutes fired
at the naval and military stations, ac-
companied by the dressing of the ships,
there was little sign of his majesty's
birthday being observed. The lord
mayor and the sheriffs made their usual
state pilgrimage from the Guild hall
to the law courts. Excepting the lord
mayors chariot there was nothing in
the nature of circus about the pro-
cession. All the tin armor, limitations
of historic pageantry, and allegorical
cars, which had been familiar features
of the day for centuries, we're elimin-
ated. The procession was almost en-
tirely composed of volunteers.

New York, Nov 1O.-Information con-
tanned in private dispatches received
here shows that the operation on En-
peror William Is similar to the first one
performed on his father, and conse-
quently causes concern to his household.
The official statement issued by the sur
understood that for reasons of state the
emperor would be given the benefit of
any doubt as to the true character of his
disease.
1t is recalled that the surgeons at that
time made nothing of the first operation
on Emperor Frederick. There is anx-
iety because both Emperor Williams
father and mother died of cancer and
his grandmother Augusta also was so
afflicted. The emperor's aunt, the grand
duchess of Baden, as is well known in
Germany, is suffering from the same
malady.
1t will take months to decide whether
the fears now entertained are unfound-
ed. At present the whole weight OF
scientific authority which is in attend
ance upon the emperor affirms that he

case may be, jobs so necessary to

long Minnesota winter.
AS years of wheat farming 90 by,
it is being clearly demonstrated
that wheat is the pioneer crop, that
as soon as the soil is exhausted of
the wheat producing elements,
wheat raising ceases to pay. It is
the experience of all pioneers and it
certainly holds good in the Red
River Valley. Next follows mixed
farming and stock-raising, followed
by the erection of creameries.

Winter with it's hours of leisure
would seem the right time to talk

cream and relieve the already over
