Thrift on a Raft.

Scottish thrift received a severe
blow not long ago after shipwreck.
Two Scotchmen had got on to a raft,
but had nothing to support life or spir-
its except a little tobacco and some
matches, but no pipe or cigarette pa
pers. Succor seemed never coming.
At last they gave it up as hopeless; but.
DESTROYS of having little comfort be-
fore the seemingly inevitable end, they
made some cigarettes with banknotes
one Of them had in his pocket. The
banknotes We're no sooner sacrificed
than relief came. and they were saved.
Their feelings cannot be described

New York, July S1.-Charles L.

of acceptance, the issues upon which
he will conduct his campaign for the

administration for the course it. has
pursued with refernce to Mexico,
maintenance OF American rights dur
ing the European war, preparedness
and other great questions OF the day.
He declared for new policy Of firm
ness and consistency toward Mexico,
for the "unfnching maintenance of
all American rights on land and sea-
and for adequate national defence ;
adequate protection on both our west
ern and eastern coasts"

acies in the interest of any foreign ma

alien intrgues. Every American must
unreservedly condemn them and suli-
port every effort for their suppress

The nominee assailed the admin
stration for its direction of dip,o-
matte intercourse" from the begin,
ming, declaring that where there
should have been conspicuous
strength and eXpertness there hal
been weakness and inexpertness. He
cited Santo Domingo as an instance
where appointments had gone to de

to continue Ambassador Herrick at
his post in Paris after war had start.

the administration with reference to
