unimpassioned judgment.

ing this grave subject it should be approached judiciously, and with out ranCor or feeling. It is long time between this and the fifth day of November, and there will be ample opportunity to weigh well all the points at issue, and make individ- ually the choices which will deter mine the sum of the choice of the people. And very frequently the choice of the people is found not In the ebullition of the campaign hurrah following immediately upon the heels of the nominations. In 1872, when the Liberal Republican Party nominated Horace Greeley and the Democratic Party endorsed the nomination, had the election been held in August or September Greeley would have been elected; {; but when the people came down to their solid, sober, second sense, they had arrived at a conclusion that Grant, with all of his faults, and all the weaknesses of his administration, which was not a brilliant success, but after all it reads very we'll upon the page of history accomplished, was the bet ter, and that the ship of state would guide straighter with him at the wheel. Something very like that will occur between this and the fifth day of November.

'Ephraham' the colored trainer. Mr..
Rechtin not OVERRIDING his interpreta-
ton of the "black face comedian"

of things in general, the action being
put through in lively fashion by the
principals.

Candleliqht.

In domestic lighting for nearly the
first half of the last century candles
held undisputed sway. The bell is
rung, and Mary brings in candles, a
pair of molds in tall brass candlesticks
brightly polished. with snuffers on a
tray-a sharp beaked snuffers of steel,
with jaws that opened and shut with a
snap and something sinister in their
appearance There were plated can
dlesticks and shutters, too. for occa-
sions of state, with silver branches
that suggested the spoils of Jerusalem,
but there was also a lamp, stately
edifice Of bronze that lowered over
the family circle at times and shed a
generous and genial light when so in

smoke and to smell! And it would

The Indiana delegates in caucus vot-
cd to recommend that the amendment
presented to take SOC of the posts
share of each renewal per annum and
add same to the benefit funds, be
amended SO as to take the amount
fro mthe States apportionment and
adding to the benefit fund. BY this the
Ter capita share of the dues used in
the benefit fund would be ample. Then
to enable the State to meet their ex-
penses it was proposed to reduce the
number of delegates to National Con-
ventions.
Hasty and Mitchell further report
under date of Thursday night that the
convention was progressing harmoni-
Cusly. National Director Broyles of
Georgia seems to have been the only
exciting feature of the entire conven-

opposition to recommendations made

Prince valuable advice in regard to his
social career.
Upon attaining his majority the
Prince of Wales will be the recipient
of many honors. 1t is understood he
will be promoted to the rank of Lieu
tenant in the Navy, and receive COM
mission in the Army, being temporar-
ilv attached to the 10Th Hussars until
such time as the 10th Hussars return
from India His former regiment now
forms part of the last cavalry brigade
at Aldershot, and it is expected that
the Prince will pay flying visit to
his brother officers before returning to
Paris.
In due course the Prince, who is al
ready a knight Of the Garter, will be
made a knight of the Thistle and a
knight of st. Patrick. He will also
make his first appearance in the
House of Lords, not in his capacity of
Prince of Wales, but as Duke of Corn
wall. The exact date for this debut
in the House of Lords has not yet been
fixed.
