Politically Settled.
The action of the New York
Democrats in State convention
last Monday instructing the dele
gation from that State to the
national democratic convention
to vote for Judge Alton B. Parker
as the Democratic Presidential
nominee virtually settles the con
gest Jor this nomination, says the
GoRimhue Enquirer, to which wo
agree. Democrats in all parts of
the country have been looking to
New York State to furnish the
candidate this year, and they will
accept the man whom the New
York Democrats have centered up
on for this high honor.
It is a foregone conclusion that
the vote of New York State in or-
dqrto elect their ticket. (With
Judge Barker its the nominee the
chances for accomplishing this are
excellent. Nothing can be urged
agaiiiBt Judge Parker either as to
his democracy or liis fitness and
ability. For nearly a score of
years he has been \ipon the bench
of the Empire State, and all of
h,is official acts have been cliarac
to.ry.ed by (i calm dignity and a
high .regard for constitutional law,
which, at once, places him pre
eminently above the man who will
be nominated by the Republicans.
jin none of Judge Parker’s of
ficial acts have any flaws been
found, or if there have been they
have not been made public. On
,the other hand, his judicial career
Ras been remarkable for the clear
ness of his decisions, which have
always been strictly in conformi
ty with the law and the constitu
tion.
There is every reason to believe
that Judge Parker will be the
standard bearer of the Democrat
ic party in the approaching cam
paign. In fact, this is already-as
nearly settled as it could be prior
to the assembling of the conven
tion. Other Democratic conven
tions will fast fall in line with the
New York convention and instruct
for Judge Parker, and others will
select delegates favorable to his
nomination, even if they do not
instruct for him.
Democrats should have no diffi
culty in harmonizing upon Judge
Parker, aud with harmony and
unity in the ranks he should be
triumphantly elected next Novem
ber.
WJiy They are Poor.
Their ideas are larger than
their purses.
They are easy dupes of schemers
and promoters.
They reverse the maxim, “Duty
before pleasure.”
They have too many and too
expensive amusements.
They do not think it worth
while to save nicklesand dimes.
They have risked a competence
in trying to get rbh quickly.
They allow friends to impose on
their good nature and generosity.
They try to do what others ex
pect of them, not what they can
afford.
To Toughen Lamp Chimneys.
Cold lamp chimneys sometimes
crack if the wick is turned up too
high when the lamp is first light
ed. The chimney should fit loose
ly, as the metal expands when
heated and will crack the glass if
it fits too tightly. Lamp chim
neys last longer if annealed, which
may be done by putting them in
to a vessel of cold water and heat
ing to the boiling point, when the
vessel should be taken from the
fire and the chimneys left in until
cold. One can generally buy the
annealed chimneys. They cost a
little more, but last longer.
The Day ;md Night AH
Wonder and a W.ilgl
Delight
Oh, the wonder of the great
trade wind] All day we sailed,
and all night and the noxt day,
and the next, day after day, the
wind always astern and blowing
stoadily and strong. The schoon-
or.sailed herself. There was no
pulling and hauling on sheets and
tackles, no shifting of topsails, .no
work at all for the sailors to ,.do
except to steer. At night, when
the sun wont down, the sheets
were slackenedmn the morning,
.when they yielded up the damp of
.the dqvv and relaxed, they were
pulled tight again—and that was
all.
The days.and nights were all “a
wonder and a wild delight,” and,
though I had little time from my
drear} 7 work, .1 stole odd moments
to gaze at the unending glory of
what I never dreamed the world
possessed. Above the sky was
stainless blue—blue as the sea it
self, ,^’hich under the forefoot was
of the color and sheen of azure
satin. All around the horizon
were pale, fleecy clouds, silver
setting for the flawless turquoise
sky.-^-Tihe Century.
P;Fy the Poor Bachelor.
Laying nil jokes aside, what ex
cuse has an bachelor for living?
Possibly the better one is that he
can’t help it or that it is no fault
of his that he is or that he contin
ues to exist. The*sc observations
are made from the old maid’s point
from which seem to he the point
from which the old bachelor is
viewed. There arc other view
points from which he appears to
better advantage, particularly at
first glance, but when the halo of
sentiment which he Inis gathered
around him has been blown away
even these points do uot offer en
trancing views. The fact remains,
however, that he still exists and
still has natural force enough to
develop a bulo of sentiment that is
more or less attractive to the op
posite sex, if not really . magnetic,
and strong enough to draw attend
tiou to him, and respectful atten
tion too. Tho bachelor ought to
know why he is as ho is, ; o,nd ho
doubt ho does, but for some reason
or other he has not been entirely
successful! in satisfying the public
that his reasons are good and suf-
ficent. It is up to him, therefore, |
to set public opinion right concern J
ing himself.—Pittsburg Gazette.
Why the Suitor Chose the
Stoutest.
An amusing method .of securing
the marriage of his five daughters
has been adopted by a wealthy
tradesman in Berlin. As suitors
were not apparently inclined to
seek the bands and affections of
the daughters, the father advertis
ed that be would pay to the accepts
cd suitor of each daughter a dowry
in cash proportionate to weight of
the selected damsel immediately
after the wedding (Ceremony. A
young lawyer was the first who
submitted himself for the father’s
approval, and, having produced
satisfactory evidence as to his
respectability, be was presented to
the daughters. He visited them
for a week and then chose the
stoutest of the five, to whom he
was the othei day married. When
the ceremony was over the young
lady was weighed aud registered
seventeen stone, the father im
mediately paying over to this son
in-law a sum of 13,000 crowns.—

“Home again at last, daifling:”
“John, dearest, you don’t look a
day older.”
“I must. Centuries can’t roll
over a man’s head without leaving
traces.”
“It was ages and ages, wasn’t
it? And, oh, John, how lonesome
1 have been!”
“You poor little wifey! If ever
1 hnvefo go away again you shall
go with me. 'But you’re more
beautiful than ever, Rwcet one.
What have you been doing with
yourself all the time I was away?”
“Thinking of you, darling, and
longing qnd longing and longing
for you to come home.”
“If that is the secret of Ixiauty J
ought to have grown a perfect
Adonis. And your’e sure you
recognized mo right off without
thinking at least a minute?”
“Of course, you old dear. Do
you suppose I could ever forget
you?”
“Good gracious, it doesn’t seem
possible that I’ve really been away
only since day before yesterday,
does it, sweetheart?”
“Not a bit more, husband mine, j
than that (WO ’have actually boon
married a whole month to-mor-
•row.”
Was the Heavest Man in Eng
land.
The death was announced at.
Dover yesterday of Thomas Long-
ley, whose chief title to fame was
that he was the fattiest man in
this country.
He even secured the recognition
of royalty, and in tho jubilee year
received a message from Queen
Victoria “congratulating her
heaviest subject upon bis good
health.”
He weighed about forty-six
stone, and was over six feet in
height, and measured seventy-one
inches round the chest, eighty-
three around tho waist and twenty-
three inches round the calf. He
was fifty-eight years of age.
Mr. Longley was the proprietor
of the Star Inn at Dover, and up
to tho time of his death took an
active intererst in the affairs of
tho town. Until the last year or
two ho was a frequent visitor to
London. On these occasions he
traveled in a special ^railway car
riage, and in going about town he
rode in a furniture van, no ordi
nary vehicle being adequate to
accommodate h i s enormous
weight. Ilis death was duo to
cancer.- London Express.

The Politician and the Voter.
Here is a psalm in politics that
was not written by tho sweet sing
er of Isreal: “Tho politician is
my shepherd, I shall not want for
any good thing during tho cam
paign. He leadeth me into the
lair of the blind tiger for my
vote’s sake; he fillcth my pockets
with good cigars and my glass of
beer runneth over. He prepareth
my vote for mo in the absence of
my better judgment. Yea, though
J walk through the,mud and rain
to .vote for him and shout myself
hoarse, when ho .is elected straight
way he forget telh mo. Lo! wheu
I meet him in his own office the
knoweth me not. Surely the wood
has been pulled over mine eyes all
the days of my life.”
