A motion was made and seconded thatthe appropriations be voted on separately.This motion was carried. The followingis the result of the voting: For the do-flciency of $400, 08 votes were cant, 61 infavor of the appropriation and 47 againstit; carried by 4 majority. For the ap-propriation of $400 to puy for twojanitors, 114 votes were caBt, 50 being infavor of it and 4!) against; curried by 7majority. For the sum of ifJiOO for in-cidentals, 85 votes were cast, 40 in favorand 45 against; lost by 5 majority. Con-siderable discussion arose over tho nextitem, which wits for $100 to purchasecoal and wood. It was contended bysome that fuel could be purchased outof the state money, but the trustees de-cided that such was not tliejiase.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

A ItoUlrroai Mnllsi-Mmsuslli OmMy »n<Hi n«|ir«elitall>ri l»ullel—Row anl Anil.RON-Mites ROM Renovlnalet om Ibo PintBallol-Talk of Bulling .The Democratic Congressionnl conven-

tion, held ill New Brunswick on Tuesday,was a farce ns fur as tlio nomination of ncandidute was concerned. Many of thedrlegutes went to New Brunswick onMonday night for the purpose of further-ing tlie interests of their favorite candi-dates. During this evening Miles Rossoffered to bet liUO to 2 Unit he would lx<the nominee- of the convention, but nopne accepted his bets.

The convention was cnlled at twelveo'clock but it was quarter past one when(lie delegates from Union count)', whohud been ill cauctia Hinco eleven, cimiein. The meeting wits then called toordorby Major James S. Yard, the clinirinanof tbe former convention, ilr, Jaiuea E.Martine, of Union county, was se-lected an temporary chairman, andMeH«r«. John C. Htiight, of Moniiioutli,Wm. II, Price, of Middlesex, uml JohnW. Wnylnnd, of Union, on HCcretaruM.Ou tiiking the chair Mr. Martine made as|ieech advising harmony in thu partyand cloned it by reciting a |>oem. Forvice presidents were choxen Memin.Pitney Curtis, of Monmoiith, II. H.Brown, of Middlesex, anil John T. Dunn,of Union. The committees ou ruleH,resolutions, credentials nnd permanentorganization were rliosen, a memberfrom each county being on encli com-mittee. A recess was tlinn taken untilthree o'clock in order to give tlio com-mittees time to draw the rules, regula-tions, etc.

At three o'clock the meeting wns againcnlled to order and tlie committee onpermanent orguniuitioii named . Mr.Henry W. Long, of Monmouth, aa thepermanent clinirinan of the convention.The committee on rules to govern thoconvention wero objected to by UeneralHaight, who believed that thu peculiarwording of the rules covered noine sin-ister motive. During tlio remnrkfl ofGen. Haight ho wns continually inter-rupted by hisses, hoota und critw fromthe Ross faction, who were evidently intho majority, and who seemed deter-mined not to allow any expressions fromthe delegates which was not in sympathywith their sentiments. (Jen. ilnight,however, would wnit uut'l the noise hadsubsided when he would resume his re-marks until again internpted, the chair-man meantime making no attempt toquiet the disorder. The galleries weropacked with persons who would yell,stamp, hiss, and otherwise make their

Lpcesence known. Ono man in par-ticular would continually shout "Hurrahfor ROBP," and no effort was iniido eitherto quiet or remove him. During tho de-bate on the rules, Mr. Price, ono of thesecretaries and the nephew of Miles Rosa,solicited Major Yard to speak. Mr. Ynnltook tho Htngo but was met withcries of " Set dow.n!" " You ulnt no dele-gate!" "Keep your place!" etc., etc.Mr. Price, the nephew of ROBS, annoyedthe reporters by his suggestions to ex-Chairman Yanl as well ns to ChairmnnMartine, and made himself offensivelyconspicuous by asking that tlie speakeron the floor l>e called to order wheneverthey said anything disparaging of MilesRoss. When the debate was finally con-cluded the question was put and carriedby a strictly Ross vote, all tho anti-Rossdelegates voting nguiust it.

The report of the committee on resolu-tions was adopted without debate, butthe report of the committee on creden-tials was the origin of another contestbetween the Ross nnd anti-Ross delegates.As before Gen. Haight was the championof the anti-Ross delegates, and as beforehe was jeered by tho Ross delegates jyidthe crowd in the galleries when lie at-tempted to speak. This report had beenframed by Mr. Gordon, editor of thoNew Brunswick Times, which pnjwr isowned by Miles Ross. The report wns,therefore, decidedly in favor of the Rossdelegates. During the debate on thisquestion J'r. Price, Miles Ross's nephew,frequently cnlled Gen. Haight to order.He was also very officious and frequentlyusurped the position of the chairman.Great confusion reigned throughout thebuilding, jells, hisses, shouts and cheersbeing heard from every part of the house.When the meeting grew quiet tho ques-tion was put as to whether the reportshould be adopted, and as before wascarried by a strictly Rons vote.

Noimnntlons were then in order nndMr, J. Elmer Stont, of Middlesex,nominated Mr. Miles Ross, of New Bruns-wick, According to the statements ofMr. Stout, one would bo led to supposethat Miles Ross wns the impcrsonifluationof wisdom, manliness, uprightness, nndall other Christian virtues, instead ofbeing as he really is, the embodiment ofriches and vulgarity.

When Gen. Haight rose to present thename of Mr. Mayo W. Ilazeltine, of As-bury Park, to the convention, ho wasgreeted by mingled hisses nnd applause,Ho eloquently recited how staunchlyMonmouth county had stood by theDemocracy in tho past and asked the con-vention to give the people a name theycould rally around. His speech wasfervid and impassioned and it was plainlyto be seen that he desired Mr. Hnzeltineto be the nominee solely that the Demo-cratic party might be victorious in thecoming campaign, He was frequentlyapplauded by the anti-Ross men presentand as frequently hissed by tlie Ross fac-tion, who seemed determined to.showtheir disregard of the wishosof Mon-mouth county, and their ignorance ofcommon decency. Mr. John T.JDunn,of Union, followed endorsing the nomin-ation of Mr. Hmoltine, .

The voting on the nominations wasthen begun, Middlesex county being thefirst called. oThis county guve 48} votesfor Miles Ross and j of a vote for' Mr.Hiizeltitie. In order to show how MilesRoss could gain votes it is only necessityto take one illustration, Iu one * of (hetownnhip* of Middlesex, which in en-titled to two delegates, two primariesHero held and two, delegations were wntts the convention, One of these delega-tions vyns for Miles ROBS and the otherfor Mr. Hazeltine. It wan decided touil-mit.cui'li delegation, giving path 'memberone-half a vote. When this townshipIVOR called the chairman of Middlesexcounty reported one vote for Miles Rowand one-half a vote for Mr. Ilazeltim1,saying that one of tho Hazeltine delo-gntcH hml left tho room and therefore hisvoU) could not Im counted,* While Ibispoint was being disputed the delegatereturned and reported to the chairmanthat he had changed hi.i mind and thathe should cast bin half vote for MilesKOH». It in needier to comment on thissuilden changa, or ton.sk what caused it.

Miininotitli county- was next calledand 41 votes cast for Mr. Hazeltine nnd11 for Miles ICoss. Union gave 80 votesfor Miles Ross and 17 for Mr. Hau'ltine.Tbe vote then stood : Miles ROHH, III)) ;Mr. Mayo W. Hazeltine, 58J. Miles Rosswas then declared nominated. A mo-tion to make the nomination unanimouswas then -made but most of the Moil-mouth county delegates voted agaiiiHt it.

The delegates from Moniiioutli countyare indignant at tho manner in whichtheir county was inuuUi'd anil their can-didate defeated. They claim, anil ciuimjustly, that but for Moiuuoutb county,Milieu ROHH would never have been sentto Coiigretw and many of them openlyUNHort that they will not only vote againxthim but UHU all their influence to induceothers to do BO. Tho opinion was fre-quently expreBHinl nt thu close of theconvention tbut Miles Iio»s, nt the nextelection, would bo tho wo tut beaten manthat ever ran for CongreKH in the ThirdCongressional District of Now Jersey.

Tho Allvgod Poisoning ut Kuniaon.For tho post week or ten days rumors

have been floating about thin town undvicinity in regard to an attempted poixsn-ing of Mr. Jonathan P. C'ooper, of Hum-Hon. Mi's. Cooper had been nick forabout «a month anil there, worn gravedoubts art to hor rocovery. Slie dicnl onThursday of last week and the rtimoruwhich hud been quieting down weroagain spread almmd. Tho following,which we clip from the New York 7'iimaof Sunday, ia Buid to be a correct versionof the uffuir: "The death of Mrs. Jona-than P. Cooper, on Thursday lost, utRtimson, near Neahright, has raisedgrave sUHpicioiiH that an attempt hns beennude to uuusi* the. doath of Mr. and Mrs.

Cooper liy foul inpuiiH. About Auguflt15th, Mrs, Cooper, who \vnn then inbetter health than she hail been for 18months, visited RulgefU'ld, Conn., withher luiKbanil, and their adopted daughterand her infant child. The daughter wnsadopted ut Cincinnati about 10 years ago,when she was five years old, Tho fosterparents have no other heir. Immediatelyafter her arrival in Riilgofleld, Mre.Coo|icr became seriously ill, with intensopains in the bead, nnd after the failureof physicians thero to affonl her reliefslid was taken hack to hor home ut Rum-non. greatly prostrated by exhaustion.It is thought that her symptoms worethose of poison by antimony. She lin-gered until last Tuesday, when death.ended her Hufforinga, About September7th, when Mr. Cooper, who is a nephewof Peter Cooper and a relative of thepresent Mnyor of New York, took hispluco at tho brcakfuBt-table, a cup ofcoffee was placed on the left side of binplate, instead of on the right, where itwns customary to put it. Mr. Coopersays that he supposed the coffee wns notfor him, and moved it to the side of tlicnext plate on his left, whero Mrs. Cooper'snurse was sitting. Tho nurse drunk it,and instantly reached for a goblet ofmilk which stood near her nnd drank it.It did not allay the intense burning inher mouth and throat, and slio ran fromthe breakfast-room into the open air.Outside of the houno she was seized withvoinitingnnd purging. A physiciitn wascalled, and under his care, she lias re-covered. I'lio physician thinks that theglass of milk saved her life, ashersyinp.toms wore those of poisoning by corro-sive sublimate, and the milk changedthe bichloride of mercury into calomeland acted as n purgative.

"Mr.—Cooper says that he branmonlarmed at the sudden illness of thenurse, and made a search of the prcuni-em. He found that a bottle of corrosive'sublirr/nte, lined as a bug poison and kepton a shelf in the carriagc-houRa, hiulbeen moved from its position, and placedamong other bottles, with tlie label of"poison" turned to tho wnll. ?It hndbeen kept in a prominent position, withthe label exposed, to prevent any errorin using it. Immediately after this dis-covery the adopted daughter, Eininti,was directed to feavo the house, and didso, with, her child, It is alleged by oneof the persons in Mr, Cooper's familythat just before Mr. Cooper sat down tothe table on that morning Emma wasseen to stir a spoon in tho cup before shepoured the collee into it. No notice wnstaken of it nt the time, although it wnsnot usual for her to pour tho coffee forMr. Cooper, and she placed the cup onthu wrong side of his plate. It is nllegedalso that she remarked to one of the In-mntes of tho house that "if Mr, and Mrs,Coopor were to dio all of the propertywould como to her," There is much ex-'citement about the case, as Mrs. Cooperwas an amlable-ond vety oharitable lady,aiding; liberally nil of the' differentchuronea. She wns about BO years old."

Tho matter was brought to the atten-tion of Coroner Brltton, of LongBranch,but ho did not consider the-evidencesufficient to warrant an inquiry in tbematter. "

SOPHIE'S ORDEAL,

" White," said Eleanor Kclsey, "withbroad, blue Bashes, und torget-me-notsin our hair. Every graduate to wear nturquoise locket around her neck, and tohave Bix-buttone:l white kid gloves,stitched with pule blue on tne backs.Madam Imogenc herseif showed me tliedesurn."

"Won't it be exquisiteP" said FannyWilloughby, clasping her plump hands.

The seven young girls who were thatday month to graduate from ClarendonHall, were sitting, schoolgirl Cushion,under the bowery beeches on the lawn—seven lair, human pe:ir)s, happily un-conscious of all the pitfalls and trials ofthe life thnt lay before them— seven half-opened blossoms, basking In the sun-shine of school life, whither, as yet, nohaunting shadow lind followed them.W hile on the shores of the calm riverbelow, the other children played andBhouied, careiul not to disturb the pri-vacy of the "graduating class."

"But," said cautious Rosa Hillgrove,"will it be expensive?"

'•Not at a.11," Sfiiti Eleanor, loftily."Inwreno will furni3li tin in Corn hun-dred dollars each, as there are seven ofU9. And—"

Just then, Sophie Seyton, who hadbem nlir-crbcd in a letter which, theb uiMibh.rned parlor-maid had broughther. I' nkeil gravely up.'

' Wnii a minute, Eleanor," said she'• I—1 IIIU ulraid I cannot afford BO ex-pei hive u dress."

"VVi'it nonsense, Sophie!" called outM 6s Ke Ivy. " You, the heircsB, totnlk a'?mt not affording a paltry hundr d-n 1 ur nistumc."

" B A I mu an heiress no longer,'eaid Suphiu, with a curious quiver inher «qJce- " Tuis letter is from myguardian, Colonel lloody. It seemssomething is wrong about some invest-ments that have been liirule, and—and Iam as poor as any factory-girl I I mustgo out as governess, I suppose, or com-panion, or something of that sort. Idon't know that I enn even stay herelong enough to graduate!"

She burst into tears, with her fairface hidden in her hands.

For a second or two the other sixmembers of the graduating class satlooking at one another in dire dismay.

Then Eleanor Keisey sprang up andthrew her arms impetuously aboutSophie's drdoping neck.

" You shall do nothing of the sort,darling!" she cried. " You shall pomeand live always with me. I never hada sister, and I shall treasure you wittfthe fondest affection."

But SoDhie shook her head." No, Eleanor," she snid j " I must go

home at once."And she went; and Mrs). Clarendon's

graduating class only numbered six thatyear.

Colonel Moody was grim and uncom-municative. The loss of the investsments, he stoutly maintained, was no-body's fault. So one could have fore-seen the shrinkage of stock; no humanprovision could have guarded againstthe calamity. It was the fortune ofwar, neither move nor less.

Sophie Soyton went to her aunt, aMrs. lied bury Moore, who had alwaysdeclared that she loved her darlingniece as it she were her own child.

"Dsar aunt," she s.nid, "you will atleait give me a home!"

" I'm very sorry, my dear," said Mrs.Medburv Moore, " but your uncle hasbeen unfortunate in business, and weare compelled to retrench in every pos-siblo way. An additional member ofour family, just at this time, would bean absolute impossibility."

."But what shall I dof" appealed poorSophie.

"Oh, get ft situation somewhere, mydear," said Mis. Mod bur; Moore, smil-ing sweetly. "Any girl who has re-ceived, BO expensive nn education asyours ought lo be independent of theworld."

"Bhall I advertise?" Baid Sophie."My dear, I really know nothing ol

the way people do such things," saidMrs. Medbury Moore, beginning togrow impatient.

Bo Sophie advertised, but apparentlys o one wanted cither a governess or a"well-qualified ladies' companion."

Her little stock of money began to'dwindle. Her earning failed her. Notone of her relatives cared to assume theburden of her support. No one elsetook the responsibility of advising her.

on the pavement, but slipped and fell,reakimc her ankle, and losiDg con-

sciousness, through the intensity of theainWhen she came to her censes she lay

n a little white bed, No- 619, of a greatliry, sweet-smelling hospital, with awhite-capped nurse benthng over her—a woman whom she had known inlormcr days as a eay young girl.

" Why am I horeP" eiie asked, invague wonder.

"You fell, my dear, and broke yourleg," said Nurse Eudora. "It was notconvenient for your Aunt Moore to re-ceive you. so they brought you here. Irrecppizod you at once, und requestedpermission to nurse you."

"And why arc you here?" persistedSophie, still only hilt-conscious.

"For two reasons," said Nurjo Eu-dora, sprinkling scented water over thelittle white pillow. "One is, that itwas necessary for me fr> ca'ii n;j livingin someway; another.was that I coulddo some good to my Buffering iellowcreatures here.'1

Sophie made no comment, but shepondered over that matter; and whenshe recovered sho also assumid thewhite cap and black serge dress, andtook the name of Nurse Sophie.

"As a hospital nurse," sho said toherself, " I ran at least besure of a goodhome, a small salary, and the privilegeof being ol some use in the world."

Sophie became ono of the most popu-lar nhd eUicient of the whole corps ofnurses. Her head was cool, her nervesstrong, her self-possession perfectly im-perturbable. The siclit of blood neverdismayed her—the groan* of pain onlyexcited her gentle sympathies, instead ofchilling her nerves; and it came to passthat whenever Doctor Ox ley, the headsurgeon, needed an especially self-reliantand able nurse, the edict went forth," Send for Nurse Sophie.

One day there was a-terriblc accidentbrought in. A team of fiery horses hadrun away, the carriage was all splint-ered in pieces, its occupant had beenflung out upon the pavement, until allsemblance ol life seemed to be crushedout of him.

Will he die, doctorP" Sophie asked,with a very pale face.

'' To all intents and purposes.my dear,"the physician answered, " he is a deadman already."

"I knew him once,"said the hospitalnurse, in a low tone.

"Every one knows him, I believe,"said Doctor Oxley. " It is the million-aire. Colonel Moody. But nil the goldthat ever was coined can't buy tiim areprieve now."

And Doctor Oxley bustled into thenext ward, leaving the white-cappednurse to keep her solitary vigil at thebedside of the man who was slowly,slowly slipping outol time into eternity.

At midnight he roused up us from adream.

" Am I dyingP" he asked.The doctor answered:"Ye3."" How much time have I leftP""Perhaps three hours—perhaps six,"

was the answer." Send lor my lawyer," ho said. " I

am in the full possession of my senses.I tell you I cannot die until I havemade my peace with heaven!"

" I can call the chaplain in a minute,"suggested Doctor Oxley.

" I tell you I want my lawyer," persisted Colonel Moody.

The lawyer was roused out of hismidnight Blumbers, and came at once;and there, in the hospital ward, Abra-ham Moody made his will, leaving allhe had in the world to Sophie Seyton.

"I have defrauded her cruelly," hesaid. "1 used her money to aggrandizemyself, and let her think it was lost inmining speculations. I have baen nnunjust steward, but it is not yet too lateto make some sort of reparation."

•'SeytonP SeytonP" repeated the doc-tor, turning to the nurse. '" Surely tautmust bo some relation of yours ?"

"I am Sophie Seyton," she said, qui-etly, laying aside her white-flappedmuslin cap that overshadowed her face.

The dying man lilted his glazing eyeslo hers.

"You? Sophie SeytonP" said he."Thank God for thatl Sny onoe, be-fore 1 die, ' I forgive you!'"

And Sophie forgave him, freelyand fully; and when the day brokedimly in tlie cast, the outlined spirit wasset free.

People could hardly credit their ownsenses when they heard that Miss Sey-ton was an heiress again.

MTB. Mratbury Moore was taken witha violent access of affection lor her'dear nieco," but Sophie had learned

the lesson of discernment."'Ihave passed through an ordeal,"

sho says, "and 1 hope it Una left mewiser and moro merciful toward mysuffering feilow-creatures! But, at thesame time, it has taught mo to bewareof friends like Aunt Medbury Mooro 1''

Cologne cathedral, which has justbeen completed after centuries of labor,is one of the largest and loftiest build-ings in the world. For the past, sixtyyears the work has been carried on withbut little intermission, the cost beingmet by both public and private contri-butions, and. a German architecturaljournal has ascertained that the aggre-gate amount expended within this periodis eighteen millions of marks, or about$5,400,000. When to this is added themoney contributed during past centur-ies und " notablv what has been sunk inthe colossal foundations and spent inpurchasing various necessary parcels ofground," it appears that the cathedral,as it nuw stands, represents nbout fortymillions of marks, or $13,000,000.

Tho number of postoflice employees inEngland (46,11)2) seems very large inproportion to an exceedingly small num-ber of ofllces(13,9l2) until it is consid-ered that the English pnstoffice alsoconducts a large savings bank and tele-graph business. The United Statesposlofllces number 42,989. The total of"returned" letters in England was5,345,G78, while 2,906,513 letters passedtliroUL'h our dead-lottcr office.

Cellars.Experiments prove that tho air in a

cellar rues and circulates tbrou_?li theliouse, and that, too, not only by meansof the frequently-opened doors, butevenwhen every door is kept shut and thekeyholes are stopped. It is simply im-possible to keep a dwelling free fromcontaminated cellar air.

Yet how many sources of contamina-tion ore found in cellars—rotting wood,tlie entire floor often being pervaded bydecay; vegetables stored thero for thewinter, nnd their refuse left the yearround; musty barrels of vinegar or cider:leaky cus fixtures; badly constructedfurnaces, from which escape variousnoxious gases; water closets, ioul at thebest, and often fouler through defcotB;detective sink and sewer drains, not un-frequently saturating the soil beneaththe floor with filth.

Many cellars aro dug directly intomade land, and the gases of the decayedmutter with which the soil is more orless rilled pour directly into them, justas the water of the soil finds its way intothe, well.

This latter point is more importantthan m j t think, for the air circulatesfreely through the soil, even whenfrozen. Persons r-ave been repeatedlypo'soned and killed by gas which hadtraveled for a distance—in one casotwenty feet—through the soil, and hadpenetrated into the cellar, and thenceinto tlie rooms above.

As the ground water rises or fulls, theair follows it. Barometric influences—changes in the pressure of the atmos-phere—force it down further or lift itout of the earth. Changes of tempera-lure similarly afreet it, and particularlydoes the warmth of a liouse establish anupward current from the cellar to therooms above, nnd from the toil into thecellar, Hence—

1. Keep everything out of the oellarlikely to vitiate its air.

2. Get the best constructed furnaces.3. Have the gas meter and fixtures

frequently examined.4. Iict tho drains be of the best mate-

rial nnd construction, and be ever insight—suspends I from the ceiling in-stead of being buried under the floor.

5. Have tho floor and sides made asimpervious as possible.

6. Let the collar be constantly nndthoroughly ventilated with sun purifiedair.

7. If vitiating sources must remainuse tho best disinfectants—not meredeodorizers.—Youth's Companion.

A Hew Peril for Smokers.The poisonous effects of nicotine,

which the anti-tobacco party has basedmost of its arguments against the weedon, have found a powerful sliy. Awell-known journalist of New York,one of tbe most distinguished war cor-respondents of the country, waa re-sently much alarmed to learn that a lipion, from which he had been Bufferingur some time, was diagnosed by hishysiclans as a symptom of a scroiu-

ous disorder of a serious character. Aborough examination failed, however,o reveal the presence of any other evi-ence of the disease, and the doctor was,or the time, at a loss to discover itsirigin.

he patient is an inveterate cigarimokor, and this fact led his physiciano make come inquiries in regard to th(luality of the cigars that he smoked,he manner and place of their niauu-acluro and other particulars. HiB in-instigations reBUited in his lorininu thepinion, in which his patient is dis->oscd to concur, that the mysteriousore and1 the disease, of whioh it is themdoubted evideno , were due to themaking of cigars which had been mide>y some person witii a scrofulous taint,rho hod communicated through theifjars to the smoker.

This theory, alarming as it is, is fullyorno out by the testimony of the phy-icians of Bellevue and other eminentlUthorities, who are reported by the^ew York correspondent of a Westernaper to have recently declared that,vithin their own experience, coses ofsontagious disease have frequently beenraced to tbe same cause. These medical

gentlemen assert that diseaso is so com-mon among the tenement-house cigar-makers, woo use their mouths as well astheir hands in their labor, that it Is not;a(e for any to smoke cigars without theisc ot a tnho or holder, so as to avoidontact with the possibly infected leaf.In the present case the physician is of

>pinion that the disorder thus strangelyncurrcd has gone already too far evena be completely eradicated from thelystem, ami hence another illustration of.fie danger of indiscriminate cigar-mak-ng and of unprotected cigar-smoking.—New York News.

How the Pyramids Were Built.Tho pyramid! are tho totobs of the

early kings. Perfectly adjusted to thecardinal points of the horizon, theydiffer in breadth and height, as is shownby the measurements of tlie three oldest,as follows: 1. The Pyramid ofKhufa—height, 450.75 feet; breadth, 746 teot. 2.'yramid ot Ktialra-height, 447.5 feet;iroadtu. 690.75 feet. 31 Pyramid ofMeukara—height 2(13 feet; breadth,352.78 leet. The construction of theseenormous masses has long been an in-soluble mystery, but later generationsmvesucceeded in solving the problem.As soon as the king mounted the

throne, he gave orders to a nobleman,the master of all tho buildings of hisland, to plan the tomb and cut the stone.The kernel of the future edifice wasraised on the limestone soil ot the des-ert, in the form of a small pyramidbuilt in steps, of which the well-conitructcd ana finished interior formed;he king's eternal dwelling, with hisstone sarcophagus lying on the rockyfloor.

A second covering was added, stone>y stone, on the outside of the keivel; ahird to this second, and to this even aourth; and the mass of the giant build-,ng grew greater the longer the king en-oyed existence. And then, at last, whent became almost impossible to extend.he area ol the pyramid further, a cm-ing ol hard stone, polished like glass,ind fitted accurately into the angles of,he steps, covered tho vast mass of tlieicpulchre, presenting a gigantio triangle)ii each oi its four faces.

More than seventy such pyramidsonce rose on the margin of the desert,each telling of a king ot whom it wasat once the tomb and monument. Undnot the greater number of these sepul-chres of the Pharaohs been destroyedalmost to the foundation, and hail thelames of the builders of these whioh

still Btand been accurately preserved, 11would have been easy for the inquirerto prove and make clear by calculationwhat was originally and of necessitythe proportion between the masses olthe pyramids and tbe years of the reigns

There are set fashions,it is true, but the3e can be so varied nsto satisfy all tastes. Many ladies plantheir toilets to suit their own particularstyles. If possessed of a certain amountot taste, these ladies generally provemost successful, and by this means greatuniformity and monotony is avoidedThe general tendency in respect of manyarticles of dress is toward enlargement.Bonnets, dresses, and even muffs are toI in larger than those used last yearHeavy fabrics, such as brocades witlidesigns of largo flowers and "velours d;Genes," are among the winter goods.Toilets of thesa goods are made to lallin rich, heavy folds. Fur is to be muchmore lavishly employed than it was lasyear. The large bonnela are to have agreat variety of Mar-bugs in all sizesplaced among the trimmings.

Dresses continue to be narrow. Widesleeves gathered at the top will bemuoh worn. As is usually the case,new combinations will be combinedwith old ones.

The second way is to havescurfs over the Scotch plaid skirt anda jacket waist of plain cachemire oivery fine cloth. The third way is bh:ivo the whole suit of plain serge,crossed by a plaid Bash.

Feeding on One's Heir.

When the human body suffers from aIfi k of food, i* practically feeds uponitself and absorbs its own substance asfood. Every one knows that certainuiimals normally exhibit this processof feeding upon themselves under certainconditions. Tlie humps of the camel orttiose of the InJiim cattle visibly de-crease nnd many disappear n ltoecther, ifthe animals are starved. A superfluousstore of fat, in other words, is made useof under the exigency of hunger. So itis also with the be.rs and other animalswhich hibernate or sleep through thewinter's cold. The bear, which' inautumn retires to winter quarters in awell-favored condition, comes forth inspring lean and meager. His fats havebeen absorbed in his nutrition, and thesucceeding summer will lay the founda-tion of new stores of stable food to beutilized during the next winter. Withman, we repeat, the phenomena ofstarvation are essentially similar. Inthe starving man the fats of the body•ire the first substances to disappear.The fats lose weight to the extent otninety three Dcr cent.; next in order theblood sutlers; then the internal organs,such as liver and Bpleen, Buffer; themuscles, bones, and nervout system be-ing the last to lose weight. In due time,»lso, the heat of the body decreases tosuch an extent that ultimately death in acise of starvation is really a case ofdeath from loss of heat. When thetemperature falls to about thirty degreesFahrenheit, death ensues. This decreasearises from want of bodily fuel or food;but the immediate cause of the fatalending of such a case is decrease of tem-perature. It is likewise a curious factthat the application of external warmthis even more effectual in reviving ani-mals dyinu of starvation than a supplyol food. In exhausting diseases in man,in which the phenomena are strikinglylike, nnd, indeed, thorougly analogousto those of starvation, the same facts areobserved.—Ghamberi1 Journal.

Brother Johnson put tlie Bible on the stand, Bnufi'eilthe candle and asked me to lead in fam-ily worship. I had broken the ice byasking the blessing at the supper taole,so 1 read a chapter in the book, andkneeling d ,wn offered up the first prayerotmylile. Byjings, it was a good one.[ didn't forget to pray for the restorationof tbe Union and tbe destruction of itsenemies! Maybe it- was answered. Ihad a good night's reat, and when I leftin the morning felt better than I everdid in my life. In fact, boys, I believeit d ,ea a man good to pray a little oncein a vrhllo, even if he is forced to it. Jmean to do more ot it berealter. Butthat is tbe way I escaped, by being mis-took for my brother Jim."

And tbe grin broadened again on theold s cout's face, and the cUuekie soundedlouder and deeper as he mused on hisadventure— Captain Moffet, in Philadel-phia Times.

years old at the time, and convincedhim that he who thus addressed himwas indeed his brother. It seems thaiabout sixty-five years ago thejr fetheiand mother with their children namedin the order of their ages Catherine,William, Margaret, Jobnand Absalom,were living in or near Albany, NewYork. TUB death of the parents follow-ing close one upon the other, when Ab-salom was a mere infant and John onlythree years old, caused a scatteringof the family, kind friends taking thilittie ones and administering to theiwants. The boys, without home at-tachments or homeinflueneeu Jo restrainthem, wandered off early in life tovarious portions of the country. Johnwas the only boy whose wanderingscould be traced; for when thirteenyears after, .the sisters visited the seem.of their early childhood his whereaboutswas easily discovered, and cotnmunioa-tion was entered into with him. Noknowledge could be obtained of theothers. A short time ago that feelingwhich has a lodgment in every humanbreast to visit the old homestead, in-duced William to goto Albany and seeonce more the place of his infancy andfriends of his early life. Here hefound his sisters, and heard that hisbrother John was also alive and livingnear this city. The whereabouts of theyounger brother, Absalom, even shouldhe be living, is unknown.

What Is Healthful Eierclse ?This is a question propounded to one

of our leading physicians recently. Hedid not answer specifically. " A man ina sedentary occupation," said the doctor," ought not to take violent exercis).Exercise, like everything else that iseood, should be taken in moderation.That is the objection to rowing andkindred amusements. They are nothealthful because carried to excess,Horseback riding is good exercise, so iswalking. But whatever the form ofexercise do not pursue it to extremes."

lhere is a deal of sense in what thedoctor says, remarks an exchange.Nearly all the great pugilists, baseballand oarsmen, pedestrians, athletes andmen who are specially trained for ex-traordinary feats of physical endurance,break down early. They exhaust theirslock of vitality prematurely. It is tbenatural development that is the mostenduring. What men need in everypursuit in life is " staying powers," te-nacity, longevity and evenness of muscu -lar growth. Sudden spurts of strengthimpinge lightly upon either the eco-nomic or moral results of life. For thisreason wo may prudently aooredit thatrale the beat which commends to us amoderate amount of physical exercise,and regular internals as regards timeand quality.

Cjnsiing, baseball, pedestrianism arenone of them necessarily unhealthy.On the contrary they arc healthful, anda, deh'shte I combination of recreationmd physical development. But howlow use tbcm wisely as tools for thispurpose. The great majority indulge to•xcess. Tbe excitement of the contest,nhe fierce requirements of rivalry, andthe potcnoy ot example, carry the enthu-siasm to a pitch, and the physical frameis taxed to an injurious degree.

No sane person denies the value offood. It is essential to life. It is possible to live without exercise; it is notpossible to live without food. And yet.ii a man were to partake of food as besometimes partakes ot exeroise he wouldbe accounted a fool; for, if he fasted twoor three days, and then gorged himselfwith all he could eat, be would bs aspeedy patient for the physician. Andyet, in so doing, be would be only step-ping in a parallel niohe with the manwho takes rest and exercise in about thatportion of time and intensity*.

The up-building of physical manhoodand womanhood is one of the greatprivileges and duties of every humanlife. The future not only of individualsbut of nations depends in large measureupon the wisdom of the raising oifuture generations in this respect. Na-ture builds up by a slow but continuousprocess. The vegetation that spring upin a night is comparatively valueless.The wood of steady and uninterruptedgrowth has the best fiber. Exeroise.rightly used, is an element ol humanphysical; development. Wrongfully orimmoderately used it is a bane. -

Abeat Leeches.They live irom fifty to one hundred

years, and are sometimes even olderthan that. Most of the leeches used by |medical men of this country are brought|from Northern and Northwestern Eu-rope, where they abound in the swamplands in great numbers. They are im-ported to this country by Dr White,wholives in Rhode Islaud.and who has greatpurging ponds, where he prepares thedisgusting iittle creatures for the mar-ket. Cleveland dealers get their sup-plies 1 from him and from wholesalebooses in New York city. There aretwo or three dealers in this city whowholesale them. They sell duringa single year to tha small drug;stores and the physicians throughout Ithe oity not less-than 3.000 leeches.'They bring a price of about $1 perdozen, and are easily and cheaply keptin supply. The American leech is foundIn parts of Mississippi and Pennsyl-vania, but for bleeding purposes are con-sidered worthless, the foreign, or ratherthe Swedish leeoh being the best andconsequently the highest priced. AtBordeaux, France, is an immense pieceof swamp land, where the leeches arecaptured by the million. Here thereare Urge numbers of aged and infirmhorses and cattle, brought thither fromthe surrounding oities. TUeae ani-mals are driven into the swamps,the leeches fasten themselves onthe bessts in great numbers, thoanimate again reach dry land, andthe leeches are gathered from theirbodies, packed in rich, black earth, and.shipped to this country. Not less than20,000 liorseB were engaged in this won-derful business during last year alone.The leech itself is a queer creature. Ittakes an entire year for it to digest ameal, and if properly taken oare of itwill live wonderful long with nothingto eat. But they are verv delicate,nevertheless, and are often afflicted withdiseases peculiar to tbft leeoh. Amongthese afflictions is a fatal skin disease,which often carries off large numbersbefore its ravages can be stooped—Cleveland Press.

The Water of the Kile.In a work by Maillot, published

last century entitled, "Observationson Several Passages of Scripture,us Illustrated by Voyages andTravels in the East," he speaks ofthe " extraordinary delielousnesa of theNile." It is, he says, BO delicious thatone would not wish the heat to be less,nor to bs delivered from the sensation oithirst. The Turks find it so extremelycharming that they excite themselves todrink oi it by eating salt It is acommon saying that, if Mahoni-med hud drank of it, ho wouidhave begged oi God not to havedied, that he might always havedone it. In truth, when one drinks ofit for the first time, it seems to be somewater prepared by art. It has somethingin it inexpressibly agreeable and pleas-ant to the taste, and we ought to give it,perhaps, the same rank among watersthat champagne has among wines Itsmost valuable quality is that it is in-finitely salutary. Drink it in whatquantities you will, it never in the leastincommodes you. This is so true thatit is no uncommon thing to sea somepersons drink three buckets of it in asingle day without finding tbe least in-convenience.

Eating Lemons.A good deal bos been said through the

papers lately about tbe healthfulness oflemons. The latest advice as to how touse them so they will do the most goodruns as follows: Most people know thebenefit of lemonade before breakfast,but few know how it is more thandoubled by taking another at night, also.The way to get the better of a bilioussystem without blue pills or quinine isto take the juice of one, two or threelemons, as tbe appetite craves, in asmuch ice water as makes it pleasant todrink, without sugar, before going tobed. In the morning on rising, or atoast half an hour before breakfast, takethe juice of one lemon in a goblet ofwater. This will clear the system olliunmrs and bile, with mild efficacy,without any of the weakening effects ofcalomel or congress water. Peopleihould not irritate 'he stomach by Cai-ns lemons clear; the powcrfu' acid ofUo juice, which is almost corrosive, in-

fallibly produces inflammation alter nwhile, but properly diluted, so that itdoes not bum or draw the throat, itdoes its full medicinal work withoutharm, and when the stomach is clear olfood has abundant opportunity to workon the system thoroughly.

Words of Wisdom.A delicate thought is a flower of the

mind.The art of praising caused the art of

pleasing.Inclination and interest determine the

will.Politenes- is tbe expression or imita-

,iou of social virtue.Diversity of opinion proves that

hings are only what we think them.One may ruin himself by frankness,

but one surely dishonors himself byduplicity.

A man should never blush in confess-ing his errors, for he proves by hisavowal that he is wiser* to-day thanyesterday.

One of the most effeotual ways ofpleasing and of making one's self lovedis to be cheerful; joy softens morehearts than tears.

Wise men mingle innocent mirth withtheir cares as help either tc forget orovercome them, but to resort to intoxi-cation for the ease ot one's mind is tocure melancholy with madness.,

A World Where Eirerrtlilnic U Cl-ldeJlum-riilKei toiler the E_rtU

A Virginia correspondent of theWashington Betmblia writes: At 10o'clock in the morning we drive out onemile from the town. The land as •approach becomes rolling but not iiiland corn-fields lite both- sides of theroad. We halt at a frame structure,procure tickets and prepare to descend,lor this is tbe entrance to the caves,through which thousands have alreadypassed and more will lollow. It is wellthat we have provided ourselves withheavy WrapB and divested ourselves' ofsuperfluous headgear. The wisdrpi ofboth is soon Bliown. We descend fiftyfeet, having left at the door a warm sun-shine and a temperature of eighty-eightdegrees. The latter is now reduced tofifty-eiz degrees, but we are in a newworld with a temperature of its own.The Jaws of nature appear reversed, foreverything here grows down from aboveinstead ol up irom below. The root igvaulted, stalactites hang singly and inclusters and meet tho eye at every turn;sometimes his twin brother, the stalag-mite, rises to meet him, but not often.Stalactites from four inches in lengthand a few ounces in weight, up to fortyfeet in height and a hundred tons inweight. Washington's column firstarrests the eye. A jong entrance avenueto the [ballroom post columns immensein size and wonderful in profusion, herewe find a plateau entirely open and de-voted to TerpBichore—in its immediatevicinity a cemetery, suggesting thetheory that tho Naiads were as prone todance themselves to death as their fairsinters above ground.

Now we enter tho fish market whererows of fish adorn tho walla, the illusionbeing perlcot. On a little, and we standat tho brink of Pluto's chasm. At nopoint from entrance to oxit does theawful grandeur so impress as here,where 200 feot below tho surface wolook down into a bottomless pit. Wothrow down a boulder and fail to hearit stop. Turning sharp to tho left we areilly prepared to greet the specter wlii 'hrises in giant form iust ahead of us toobide us for our intrusion. Passingthrough tho Elfan ramble we almost runagainst the Em press column, a beautifultlgure almost white, looking very like awoman on a pedestal. On past Proser-pine's column, through tho baloony tothe grotto, and rest at the vegetablegarden. A moment against the Leaningtower, a, glance at Brand's, cascade anawo gain Giant hall, where the forma-tions are colossal. A broken columnnow lies directly in our path. It istwclvo feet in diameter and sixteen long.Wo descend to Skeleton gulch, and arorewarded for the effort by a sight of alemur and pelvis of Bomo unfortunatewho long ago must have fallen over tbeprecipice just above. These bones aro(Irmly imbedded in tbe limestone floor.A.3 wo return wo tind a group ol specta-tors at tho ilowcr garden, nnd we lookaround a moment. At no point yethave the stalactites shown any signs ofgiving out, and it is no exaggeration tosay that you Imvo now seen BO manythousands of them that you [naturallylook for somothing else. In other wordsthey ceaso to attract.

Tho cathedral is a beautiful and won-derful feature—Ihc pulpit at one end, thoorgan at the other. The pipes aro sym-metrical, and arc in perfect musicnlorder; on tho side of tho wall, highoverhead, standing out of the wall, thoangel's wing is clearly defined. Naturalbridge, tower of Babel and Stonewall'stent follow in rapid succession. Thodrapery in rich folds in the latter willalways attract the feminine eye. At noplace bave we hod to stoop, and for themost part wo havo had a ceiling of fromtwenty to one hundred feet over uurheads. Hiutory, mythology and. theBible havo furnished names for thiswonder under tho earth. In this ram-bling noto I have omitted many minorpoints of interest as not being profitableto tho general reader. Coming back totho entrance wo find that we have spentthroo hours in the tramp, and ourpedometer registers three miles traveled.Of course we have gone over someground twice, but many places we havenot visited at all.

Let mo advise any one to wrap upbefore going down, the sudden changebeing too great fot weak lungs. At theentrance tho wealth of stalactite forma-tions is thrusts upon you by tho ceilingcurving lowtoward the floor. We havefor tho journey only candles, but as wereach points of great interest and wolight our taper, instantly every recess isbrought out clearly. That stulactitewhich a moment ago looked liko a whiteobject in tho distance now comes outwith dear outlince. Wo aro now in theante-room, with a coiling o( great heightand a /ength of 100 feot. A little furtheron we discern pillar after pillar in'dark-brown stono, with hero and thcro acrystallized crust, whioh throwB outmany brilliant points before our mag-nesium light. To our right we see thosentinel room, and, in one corner, Lot'swifo pnssing on to the throne; we seedistinctly a white rat climbing a brownstalagmite. 8 ) lifc-liie is it that ourladies .elevate themselves at once, and donot como down until assured that it hasbeen in that position possibly for 10,000years.

Only a few steps more are required toreach tho Omnibus room; not so oiisilyreached, lor we go through Yoscmitovalley, where tho path is narrow undthe huge boulders lie on every sido. I,the omnibus at lost. You naturally loothrough the roof for the driver, but heis not there; and so you sit down, and,whilo resting, think about all you havoseen. Yonder, hanging from the ceil-ing, is a, huge mitten, perfect even tothumb. We pause beforo a Irozen cas-cade. At no point is the real object sowoll imitated as hero. Now we lookthrough Tobacco race truck and Clcu-patrati hall. All along the course wehavo noticed the prolusion of stalactites,but now they occur less frequently, andin so doing rest the eye. The solid stoneroof, arched and ingrained iu it is, beingas perfcot architecturally as thoughwrought out by skilled hands. Tho crys-tal formations now multiply on our wuy,and indicate clearly our approach to tbeDiamond room. Here only, a brilliantillumination is needed to bring out un-told, beauty. After admiring until weare reminded that our stay must now beshort, we visit the caLhedral.the grotto,devil's chasm, Lethe's stream, where werelroBh ourselves from a stream of purecold water. This ut a depth of nearly200 feet. We now hunricdl v look througuSolomon's temple, Queen's pass, Bear-track hall, and other places on our wayto the Diamond lake, and here we arerepaid for the journey. A oleor lako,oval in form, has an edge of whits crja-tal tablets, supporting brown stalactites,whioh droop trom the roof and rest uponthe lake. Here the ceiling has roundedto the floor, and all stalactites have metstalagmites. This Is without doubt themost beautiful feature in any ouvo. Itcannot bo desorlbed so that an Idea of itsbeauty will be oonveyed. On returningto the entrance we find that wo havewalked three mlleB and spent two hours'Underground. We bid our guide good-bye, but cot until he promises to send usfor exhibition in Washington some ofhis specimens.

THE BABY EEEPfiAHT.low "America" i u Grows a_4 P r w

Pend.America, the baby elephant, has been

injojing excellent health since .' Bhestarted on her summer tour, and thetraveling she has acoompllshed.togetherwith the admiration tbat has been, lav-ished upon her at all places, has hadthe effect of benefiting her wonderfullyin strength and spirits, and she is asmischievous and playful as a kitten.

Lost .spring, when America wasbrought to see the lijriit ol day in the in-closure Bet aside for her mother, Hebe,at Twenty-third street and Ridge avenue,crowds of wondering people called uponhe littl.' elephant prodigy. The Infant,vhen strong enough to receive the visit-

ors that flocked to her nursery, pre-sented a very funny appearance, indeed.She was then aboutthirty-live inches inheight, bat hci- heavy *_iu was looseand flabby. Extreme. <youtli and a notyet developed character made baby alittlo dull and uninteresting except iorthe fact that she was a curiosity forhaving had the luck to be bom in n niv-ilized community, and for away fromthe native jungles of Hebe, her mother,and.Mnndiil,her father.

America has been the most interest-ing, playful, affectionate big little thingtbat could be found among animal*,low much her mother loves her can

only be known by close observation ofthe exlrome enro the watchful parentkeeps. Mandril exercises [all his kind-est qualities toward his affianced andoffspring, and the attention he lavishesupon tliem is amply returned by thewarm affection they show toward him.The domestic happiness of tho elephan-Ino family seems to be perfect. Al-liough America has grown very littlo

taller than when she was born, havinggained only two inches in height, theloosen033 of the hide has all disappearedand licr weight has increased by morethan 200 rounds. Baby now turns thescales ut 600 pounds, 'fills increase hasgone principally to enlarge the limbsnnd fill out the body. Baby has alsoacquired a suppleness and activity that,in so large a bnby, is remarkable. Inappearance, bnby is a miniature likenessof her kind mother. She seems to beondowed with all the gentleness ofHebe's disposition. There is a vein ofday fulness and misohief in tha cliarac-,er of the little one that is manifested inall her actions. She has not been taughtany circus trickery yet, but she isnaturally full of pranks of the mostlaughable sort.

Bahy ban traveled many hundredmiles during tho summer, and has seenmany strange faces, but the task of part-Ing with old friends nnd tho irksomencssI meeting new ones has not left a

<l)tidow of care upon her bright, cheer-ful disposition. Somo very tunnyscenes were eometimos enacted withinlie. inclosure in which the family is

kept, and there seoms to have developedIn America a. "bump of destructive-ncas " that spares not anything. Wlmt-Bvor is thrown ia tho pen she rushes forwith a tiny baby trumpeting call anddocs her best to demolish. A buokot isher favorite plaything, and when one is-gotten hold of Bhe rolls it around anddances over it until finally a tramp ofher heavy foot crushes the staves. Thenshe will roll over and over in the saw-dust in great nice, and jump nin.My toher fort no lightly as aoat. Brooms andcanes she has no use ior and wheneverono comes within reach, she makesevery attempt to wrest it from the'wncr's hand and breaks it up.

B»hy Is strong, too, though in herpower she is very gentle. Sue runs atand butts any one who comes within theinolos"re, and she views their certaindiscomfiture with evident satisfaction.One day she created much merriment bychasing some boys around and aroundher ring. When she has nothing elseto piny with, she amuses herself examin-ing the meshes of her net-work sur-roundings. She is always at worK andnever tires. Occasionally shoappnrentlybecomes filled witn the idea that hermother is the supreme proprietor of allthings, and she will approach the crowdstanding near, grab anything she takesa fancy to irom one's unsuspeeting hand,and run off "with it to her mother. Onone occaslon!_aij[country youth hadbrought his sweetheart to see the circus,and they stopped long |with wonderingeyes fo watch the,!happy elephantinefamily. Suddenly America run forward,snatched a fan from the frightenedand astonished girl's hand, andbore it triumphantly to her mother,laying it down with her trunk ontho ground beneath the maternalbody. After same difficulty and timespent in chasing tho playful thief aroundthe pen, tho fan was recovered. Often-times whon Ilebe sees her daughter pickup what she ought not to have, orother wise doing wrong, she calls to her.and the obedient child invariably obeysher and runs to her parent's protection.

A dastardly attempt was made topoison little America during her stayIn Brooklyn. As she did not then, nordoes Bhe now, accept any nourishmentbut hor mother's milk, the poison, it isalleged, was given to Hobo. Luckily,the mother showed signs of having eat-en the baneful stuff in time, and Amer-ica was prevented from taking the milkuntil Hebe grew quite well. For twen-ty-four hours was the baby kept with-out food, and she was well-nigh fam-ished by tho time the proper antidoteshad taken favorable effect upon her

The Sclioul

The result of the HCIIOOI meeting hold

lnst Monday evenitiK is not calrulnteil t<i

reflect credit upon the town or lmnor on

itacitizens. All the voters of the district

are stockholders of the uchool property

and it in but rational to rappost1 that

they would be intureBted in the welfiiri-

•if the schools. Being stockholders in

the property one would think that the

jH'oplu woulil ttikeks great care of their*

public possessions an they do of their

private goods. Yet last Monday evening

•was presented the spectacle of tin'

citizens of this district voting to lenvc

their public property unprotected liy

insuranco mid without necessary repaint.

Of nil nintten iiertnininjr to tin- ptihlic

wciil, tho school intercKts me of para-

mount importance, and no roiniiitiiiity

can long continue liroHpermiH without

proper educationul a(]vuntai;e)i. The

trustees are men nelectcd by the legal

•votereof thedixtricl to fo«ter the SOIIOOIH.

and the very vote which elects them

proves that they nro capable, in tin?

opinion of the people, to perform tlntir

duty and to conscientiously discharge

their trust. If they are, as the votes of

the people would seem to indicate, con-

scientious public siTviints, then they un-

questionably lcok after tlie witntK of thi>

•cltool district, and they are ccrtiiinly

better qualified to judge of the needs of

the schools than those who visit the

school but onco a year and tltert with

the pre-deteriniiiatioii to vote down

Ihe appropriations asked for. It is fool-

hardy and absuied to suppoxi! that the

tritflteOH, who are interested only in com-

mon with all other good citizens in

maintaining the public schools, should

as^ for more money than is required.

But the jieople not only refused to

provide means to educate their children.

They refused also to furnish menus to

provide for their physical safety. In

voting down the appropriation to repair

the stoops the lives of the children are

plaoed in jeopardy.

Year aftor year the sums asked for by

the trustees to support the HCIIOOIS have

been voted down and the culling of

another meeting made necessary. Two

clawea'aro responsible for thin result:

The first class consists chiefly of a few

men, who, blind to their own interests,

oppose all progress. These men are

aided and abetted by their still more

Ignorant allies, who comprise many of

the larger land-holders. The second class

ooiitiatK of those men, who, though favor-

ing the schools, stay at noinc.

The action of the people at thp meet-

ing will liiivo no other rewilt than to

cause the schools to lie closed. Without

BO appropriation for incidentals the

schools can not be carried on, us the

trustees have no authority to use money

not especially raised for this purpose.

The stay-at-home citizens, by whose apa-

thy the ahovo result was bronghfc about,

will find hut little comfort in the reflec-

tion that it is due solely to their own

folly.

But there is one class to whom nil

credit BtionUl be grren. It is the sober,

hard-working, respectable, staid citizens

of tho community, who never find their

business BO important but what they

can leave it to attend a school meeting.

They are in favor of the schools first,

last, and all the time, not only on meet-

ing nights, but during the entire yum.

It wns-only through their presence, their

influence and their votes that the school

interests, were saved from utter defeat.

ing given au honorable imsitiou to this

man for six years, they ask for recogni-

tion, they are spurned and insulted.

The Democrats realize th§, impossibility

of carrying a convention against Miles

Ross and fully understand that if this

county is to be represented in Congress

during the natural life of Miles Ross, it

ctin only be done by defeating him at

the ballot box. Once defeated at the

polls Miles Rot* will neveragnuiconie up

for office. Many Democrats, impressed

with this idea, left the convention de-

termined to work against Miles Rons

to the extent of their ability.

Apart from the manner in which

Miles Itosd waa nominated the candidate

of the Democrats is unfit for the posi-

tion. He was taken up on the ticket in

1874 because of his wealth and his will*

ingness to use it in getting into nfiice.

For three consecutive terms he has oc-

cupied a seat which should by right

have been given to some capable man.

The voice of Miles Ross has never l>een

heard in any of the prominent measures

which have been delmted in Congress.

He has used his position and his influ-

ence simply to continue his wjat in (Con*

grow, mid a* the befit means of doing HO

has secured large appropriations for im-

provements which have not improved

anything {>NL*cpt tlit-- financial cuiiditioii

of the contractors and others in the ring.

In lK H tlitrplection of Miles lioss was

insured only by bin awiistancc to the fu-

sion ticket in Moiitmitith county and by

tho trailing of Ross votes fur those of the

Fusion and Greenback parties. It is not

to he expected that the man who did

more than any other to defeat the Dem-

ocratic party in Moninotith county in

1H78 will receive the united support of

that party in 1NH0.

Miles RUSH is not a fit man for the po-

sition of (.'ongre hMiun tintl thu people ,ol

Alonmoutb county should show that

they appreciate this fact!
