For a wonder no lives were lost, although there were several men in the building when the expiosion too place. Anp stili they come. Four cars filled with Groenbackers left Purtiand, Me., for the Fiat Convention which opens in this city next Weenesday. Severat Greenbackers also left Boston for Chicago.

The writers on the Radical paper Afit d’Ordre have challenged the writers ‘on the Gaulvis to mortal combat, und the latter have accepted.

The facts im the case were disclosed during the week by an investiga- tion of tue affair by a committee of the Method- fst church of which Young is a member. The Churon Committee acquitted Young, but the Hu- mano Society felt warranted in bringing the matter before a Cleveland GrandJury. Young bas boen held in bond of $2,000. : Every county in the Des Moines Congres- sional district has held its Convention and haa instructed its delegates to vote for the nomina- uon of the Hon. John A. Kasson for Congress. Mr. Kasson is now United States Minister to Austria. Te ‘general tone of the San Francisco press fs one of dissatisfaction at theanti-Chinese plank of the Itepublican platform. The reso- jution, thoy suy, is not radical enough, and does not by any means fully express the feelings or opinion of the people of the Pacific Coast. The Culifornia delegation is blamed for putting for- ward so mild a resolution. Tre King of Bavaria has approved of the action of Baron von Rudhart, his representative in the German Bundesrath. It will be remem- bered that Bismarck strongly disapproved of the conduct of the Bavarian representative in the Hamburg affair, and sternly rebuked him there- for. The Baron can doubtless stand the anger of Bismarck so long as his King approves. ‘THE resolutions adopted by the Convention will be found in Tuz Tnipusx this morning. They contain a brief but graphic recital of the acts of the Republican party during {ts pos- session of the Government. The military and financial history of that period is strongly pre- sented. The platform further recites the revo- lutionary actions of the Democratic purty as particularly shown by the proceedings of that party since it has gained control of one or both Houses of Congress. It pays a, merited compli- ment to President Hayes, urges a continuance of the measures for Civil-Service reform, and congratulates the country ou the prosperous condition of National finances, and upon the gen- eral restoration of production and industry, Tre session of the Convention last night was to a great extent an exhibition of physical strength in the way of noise. The oratorical dispiny was, as tho market reports would say, from fair to middling. Mr. Conkling was per- + haps the most ornamental, but his speech was in several instances in shocking bad taste. Bis eulogy of Grant was all proper enough, but bis references to otlier candidates were such viola~ tions of the proprieties of the occasion as toton- firm the reputation of tne speaker as unable to rise above a snetr. The best speech, as a whole, was Mr. Frye'’s brief, but clear, manly, and ringing second to Blaine’s nomina- tion. The greater purt of the evening was devoted to noise. Mr.Conkling's semi-tbeutrical speech was followed, of course. by a display of howling such as had never before been heard of in any assemblage of civilized men and women. ‘The other speeches were then followed by simi- lar exhibitions of lung power, and thus the session was prolonged until midnight without a yote. The delegates evidently enjoy the pleas- ant weather, the bountiful hotel accommoda- tions, and the general attractions of Chicago; hence, one week’s sojourn in the city has not been sufficient, and, artera day's rest and devo- tion, they propose to try another week's resi- dence here, and thus, uniting business and pleasure, enjoy as long as possible the comforts of this great place of summer resort. YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE BALLOTING. The day session of the National Convention disposed of all matters preliminary to the main work of choosing the candidates for President and Vice-President. The prelim- inaries of this year’s Convention have been unusually important and to a large extent embarrassing, but they were determined in final harmony and in accordance with the established principles of the Republica party. The first work of the Convention yesterday was to finish the contested cases. The net result. of this struggle was the admission of three district delegates from Alabama and eighteen district delegates from Lllinois, inaking twenty-one anti-Grant delegates who took the seats of Grant delegates. The ap- plication of the same rule admitted four Grant delegates from Kansas, and two dele- gates from West Virginia, who were divided between Grant and Sherman. The two Grant delegates from Utah were also admitted in place of the Blaine sitting members, on ac- | with the important addition of a spec! count of irregular proceedings in the selec- tion of those who were accredited to the Con- vention from that Territory. After this the question of adopting the rules came up. The Grant men had prepared a surprise in the shape of a motion, made by Gen. Sharpe, of New York, offering as a sub- stitute for tho inajority report a resolution providing that the Convention should pro- ceed at once to take a ballot on nominations. Had this resolution been adopted, the ballot- ing would have begun without any rules ex- cept such as the Chairman could enforce with the consent and assistance of the Con- vention. There wassome doubt as to the motive of offering this resolution. It may have been merely another expedient for de- lay. Ismay have been because the movers, in the expectation that it would be voted down, . sought the opportunity therein to maintain that the opposition were afraid to come to aballot on the nominations. And it may have been that the Grant managers cherished a hope that, in the absence of rules, they might still enforce the so-called “unit rule,” or, in any case, delay the nom- ination by interminable speech-making and filibustering as long as they might see fit to follow that policy. But the resolution was voted down by the overwhelming majority of yeas 276, nays 479, and the Grant faction cast the smallest vote upon this question of all the test votes that were taken upon pre- liminary measures, When the unfair Conkling proposition to proceed to ballot without any rules had beer. defeated, the Grant men withdrew all further opposition to the majority report. The rules were adopted without division, including the clear and explicit recognition of the right of individuals to vote their sentiments, and struction to the National Committee to in- corporate in their call for the next National Convention a provision which should include and secure to the several Congressional dis- tricts of the United States the right to elect their own delegates. When these rules had been adopted the principle of popular repre- sentation in the Republican National Con- vention was established for all time. The so- called State instruction and “unit rule” was buried, never to be resurrected. The State “Bosses” were served with a notice to quit, so far as National politics are concerned, and another grand triumph was recorded for the people through the agency of the Republican party, The only discussion over the resolution was relative to an additional resolution on the sachusetts delegation. This resolution, ina modified form, was subsequently adopted, and Civil-Service reform again made a con- spicuous plank of the Republican platform. Whatever may be the fate of the Repub- liean ticket before the people this year, the popular-sovereignty men in the National Convention have achieved a splendid victory in the complete establishment of the princi- ple of Congressional! district representation, and the final rejection of the State-sovereign- ty heresy in the government of the Repub- _lican party. The laurels of this victory be- long chiefly to the freemen of Dlinols. If the Republicans of this State, whom “Boss” rule had threatened with disfranchisement, had not made the persistent and gallant fight which resulted in the admission of the ousted delegates from nine districts who represented the sentiments of their constituencies, in Place of the delegates whom Logan had sought to impose upon them, the question of district representation might have been left in doubt to plague the Republican party in the future. All doubt as to popular repre- sentation has now been wived out, and the Civil Service, which was offered by the Mas-. work of the National Convention in this single respect will be rewarded with hun- dreds of thousands f votes throughout the country and indorsed by the whole mass of the party from Maine to California. RIGHT OF THE DISTRICTS TRIUMPH. In the light of the discussions which have taken place during the last ten days or more in this city and throughout the country con- cerning the right of each Congressional ,dis- trict.to be represented in the Republican Convention by delegates of its own choosing without interference by a State Convention or other body of men, it is difficult to under- stand how such aright. could be denied by any reasonable and intelligent man. The preposterous claim that a State Convention had the power to disfranchise the Congres- sional districts and the power to appoint such delegates itself, was, in the minds of intelligent and fair-minded men, nothing more than a claim for the superiority of Boss bulldozing over right and justice. As such it was recognized in this State, and the only expectation that such an outrage would be sustained was based upon the loudly-proclaimed boast by Boss Logun that he knew the usurpation would be maintained by the men who would control the National Convention. The cun- trol of that Convention was, as he supposed, to be accomplished by 70 Boss-“ instructed ” yotes of New York, 58 Boss-“‘instructed ” votes of Pennsylvania, the 30 Boss-* instruct- ed” votes of Missouri, the 42 votes of Ili- nois, the 24 “instructed” votes of Kentucky, the 20 ditto of Alabama, the 22 ditto of Vir- ginia, the 16 ditto of Louisiana, the 16 ditto of ‘Vexas,—902 votes in all,—which ware to be counted as those of so many convicts on the prison-rolis, subject to the regulations and instructions of the Wardens. The Pennsylvania and the New York schemes were more disgusting than alarm- ing, but the proceedings in Illinois startled the country by their boldness and their in- famy. Boss Logan had overdone his work. The Republicans of every district in the country revolted and protested. They re- fused to submit, They comprehended at last the mysterious oracle that_unswered all questions by saying ‘‘he will be nominated by a large majority on the first ballot.” The desperate means resorted to betrayed the desperate end sought to be accomplished. Boss Logan’s performance aroused the country. It united the Republicans against the rascally unit rule and in favor of the dis- trict system of appointinents, as provided in the call. It united the Repablicans against the incorporation of Calhoun’s State-sover- eignty as the governing principle in Repub- lican Conventions. This union against the worst forms of des- potism broke the power of the Triumvirate. They were no longer masters of the Conven- tion. Men in Virginia, New York, Pennsyl- vania, Kentucky, Texas, the Carolinas, even in Alabama and Louisiana, asserted their freedom, and refused to be slaves or to have their votes bartered in the Convention by their se]f-constituted masters. If Grant shall be defeated in the Conven- ton, as it now seems certain he will be, he may attribute that defeat largely to Bull- dozer Logan’s disreputable and dishonest proceedings In Illinois, and to the questiona- ble proceedings of Logan’s political associ- ates in New York and Pennsylvania. They fired the heart of the liberty-loving Repub- licans of the Republican States and aroused such an indignation as has not been felt since Andrew Johnson’s mob murdered the dele- gates in the New Orleans Convention, or the Gullys murdered the Chisolms in the Court- House in Mississippi. : Third-termism and Loganism combined were more than the free men of the Repub- liean party North or South could submit to, and they revolted. Henceforward the Re- publicans of the Congressional districts, emancipated from Boss rule, will themselves elect their own delegates to their National Conventions. That alone is a victory of priceless value. It has not been won with- out a struggle, but it has been won. THE THIRD-TERK BULLDOZERS. The scene in the National Convention on Friday night and Saturday morning, when the third-term crowd took forcible possession of the Convention, deposed the Chairman, and stayed all business for an hour, was a disgrace to those who participated in it, an insult to the Convention, and an indignity to the Republican party, and has never before been equaled except in the worst days of Tammany. Thecolumns of Tue Trmpune have already described its incidents. It was the last des- perate effort of the third-term faction, eggzed on by Conkling and Logan, to carry the Con- vention by brute foree. The howling, yelling mob gave way to passion and frenzy. Beaten decisively on every test vote thus far, and secing no ray of hope in future proceedings by honest expression or debate on the merits, they sought to overawe and bulldoze the Convention by pounding and yelling. They howled and stamped. They broke off the backs of seats and pounded the floor with them. They took off their boots and pounded the seats with the heels. They flourished their canes and threw their hats in the air. They screamed and shrieked. It was not the spon- taneous outburst of enthusiasm, full of heart and cheer, fhat sometimes sweeps over great crowds. It was nota tribute of admiration or affection to the great soldier of the Ne- public, It was not a demonstration in honor of any manormen. It was a display of the very frenzy of passion. Any ordinary dis- play of enthusiasm would have yielded at Jast to the calls of the Chair for order, and would not have seriously interrupted the business of the Convention; but the howling, frenzied, infuriated mob detied all demands for order, stamped underfoot the rights of the Convention, and paralyzed all business, until it was tired out and could howl no longer. Its barbarian display of force did not cease until it was exhausted and incapa~ ble of further mischief. Its legs. were used up, its lung-power exhausted, and it settled back limp and useless and allowed the busi- ness of the Convention to go on because it could no longer obstruct it. The significance of this unreasonable, un- dignified, indecorous, and insulting display may be found primarily in the fact that the third-termers were outvoted at the very be- ginning of the Convention, and knew that they would be outvoted in its climax. They knew that the material of the Convention was drifting away from them. They knew that the public sentiment was against them. ¢ They knew that the great majority of the Republican party, including the honesty, decency, and reform elements of the party, were unalterably and inflexibly opposed to the third-term principle. The votes already recorded had been a handwriting on tne wall foreboding their doom, and they strove to avert it by a display of animal power by | trampling down popular rights, by buildoz- ing the anti-machine members of the Con- vention, but it was answered back by a shout of defiance that was justifia- ble because it was provoked. It was’ @ popular protest against violence, against usurpation, against bulldozing. It was a notification to Senator Conkling and Gen. Logan that they could not ride roughshod | over the sentiments of the National Repub- lican party, whatever they might do in their respective States. The horse-power demonstration of the third-termers wag not a demonstration for Gen. Grant, and fortunately, for they have done their candidate injustice enough al- ready by dragging him into the Convention when they knew the irreconcilable aversion of the American people to third term for any man. It was the expression of their last desperate effort to get. a third’ term, because it means a third term to them of the spoils from which they have been kept for four years during Mr. Hayes’ clean Adninistra- tion, With a third term of Gen. Grant they knew that it was possible to re- new the corruptions of the other two terms. Their yells were the yells of wolves famished and desperate’for flesh. They fought for the spoils and sought to obtain them by riding over and trampling down everything that was honest in the party, every reform, every principle, every right that pertains to it; but it tailed, and failed miserably. ‘They may renew it again, but it will be of no avail, They have done thelr worst, and the majority of the Convention, unintimidated by bulldozing, unawed by force, or threat, or crack of lash, will move calinly on to the inevitable result of the de- feat of the third term and the rout of Conk- ling, Logan, Cameron, and their unscrupe- lous minority, TWO GREAT REFORMS. ‘The-Convention yesterday, after an abor- tive attempt by the third-termers to delay and defeat the report of the Committee on Rules, completed the abolition of the unit rule and formally recognized the right of every delegate to have his vote recorded as he dosired, by the overwhelming vote of 479 to 2%, The rules, as a whole, are substantially those adopted by the Convention of 1876, with two additions. These.are a provision that in taking a vote the Chairman of each delegation shall report the numberof thedele- gates from that State voting elther way: and that when the correctness of the announce- ment by the Chairman of a delegation is questioned then the roll of the delegates from that State shall be called and the vote of each delegate announced. ‘This rule abolishes the unit rule, and is a declaration that “instructions” ‘will not be en- forced’ by the Convention. The. strong vote adopting this rule shows how unanimous is the Republican sentiment in opposition to Boss government. The Con- vention had préviously declared that the right of district representation should not be abridged or taken away. The other addition to the rules isa provision that the National Committee appointed by the Convention shall, within twelve months from this time, establish a system of regulations governing the manner of appointing delegates to the next Conyention, these regulations, however, not to-interfere with or deny to the several Congressional districts the power to appoint their own delegates. ‘The third-termers made another effort to retain their right to vote under the unit rule, by moving to proceed to a ballot. for a candi- date before the rules were adopted. This motion was, as we have stated, voted down, and the ghost of the unit rule took its de- parture forever. A MODEST DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE. _ A great many public men haye done them- selves irreparable harm by writing letters. Bill Morrison has committed himself to pa- per and trusted his true inwardness to the United States mails in aletter to Messrs, Chapin & Gore, printed elsewhere, which is & copy of numerous others sent to Demo- eratsin this State. 1t is Bill Morrison’s bid for the Presidency, and its extreme inodesty (1) will be likely to send a swarm of hornets buzzing about his ears from the Democratic camp. Qne portion of his letter gives us his views of other Demveratic candidates. Til- den and Seymour are so mixed up with local quarrels that they cannot be nominated; Bayard’s war record is against hin; Hen- dricks and ‘Thurman are not sound on the financial goose; Gov. Palmer is uncertain, and no one knows what he will do on any question; and David Davis is an unsound Democrat, never dyed in the wool. Consequently Bill Morrison thinks there is but one candidate left, whose name Is Lill Morrison. ‘Thereupon B. M. gives us his unbiased opinion of B, M. asa Presidential candidate, B. M. has s public record which will stand the test. He was a private in the Mexican war, and he has Republican indorse- ment for his services in the late War. How the South will howl! What he will do is known to everybody. The State can do something with him, but nothing with any- body else. He ought to have the Presidency, thinks B. M., and “when Mr. Tilden is out of the way my chances are at least as goods anybody’s,—too good to be thrown away to |t further the schemes of those who seek to control the State delegation against me by in- direction.” Such is B. M.’s lay-out for the Presidency, and his opinion of Bill Morrison as a Presi- dential candidate. What the friends of Davis, Palmer, Seymour, Tilden, Bayard, and the others will say, remains to be seen; but they will unquestionably make it very warm and lively for B. ML, and the way they will proceed to sit down upon his little game will be interesting to witness. But his opinion of others is not so valuable as his opinion of himself. Here is where his mod- esty appears in strong relief. He 1s almost as modest as John Logan! If that personal characteristic were a qualification for the Presidency, he would outstrip any and all other candidates. Such modesty is so rare that it deserves the conspicuous notice we have given it. Tue funniest scene that occurred in the small hours of yesterday morning, and one that had a moral attached to it, was the march out of Long John and Stephen Douglas, Jr., of the seats they had usurped, and the march in of E. G. Keith, Esq., and Senator William Campbell, who had been elected delegates by the First Congressional District. The Boss had been smart enough not to take one of those seats himself. He preferred the more secure place of delegate for the State at large, but he thrust in Went- worth and Douglas, under the belief that the high standing of the first named and the pro- found esteem of Illinois for the deceased father of thesecond wouldsecure them reten- tion of the stolen seats; but they didnot. The sword of justice had to prevail. A great wrong had been perpetrated upon the Re- publicans of the district. The will of the majority had been ruthlesly trampled under foot. A selfish, scheming desperado had foisted two men on the First District whom it had decisively rejected. They sat on the stomach of the National Convention until they were spewed out, Like tainted oysters, they could not be digested or kept down, and had to come up and out. In the small hours gf the morning a seven- foot giant, now weaker than achild because found in the wrong, arose from his ill-gotten chair and strode silefitly to a back seat, grin- ning a ghastly and forrible smile, followed by the broad dwarf?who had taken shelter under the wing of thegiant. It was asolemn but lugubrious march, and enjoyed by the galleries, who gave expression to their feel- ings by roars of laugirter. ‘The next vote of the Convention bounced Beveridge and his fellow-usurper, and they, too, took up their melancholy line of march forthe rear. The foisting of Beveridge and Kadish as third-termérs into the seats of the delegates elected by unanimous yote of the ple of a State have certain powers ex ‘fhird District wns the most outrageous of all the usurpations of the pirate of the prairies. Make a complete poll of the Republican vo- ters of that district and it will not. show 2,000 in favor of a third term of Grant against at least 14,000 Republicans unalterably opposed toa third term. It has been a long and. bitter contest, but the right prevailed at last. THE OUSTING OF THE USURPERS. The grand evacuation by the usurpers at the Convention on Friday night was a sight Jong to be remembered. The decree of ex- pulsion had been foreshadowed by the vote on the Alabama case, but Logan demanded 2 formal and separate vote on the case of each Illinois district. ‘The vote was therefore called first on the case of Long John Went- worth and Short Stevey Douglas. As they stood up they literally presented the “long and the short’? of Logan’s miserable fallure to capture a State. The tall man and the short man were both voted out, ordered to leave, to quit, and to evacuate, and they evacuated, retiring hand in hand to the rear partof the hall. As Long John, leading his companion, moved in the procession, the old man piteously bewailed the uncertainties of a “ wavering Grant man.” Then the venerable pardoner—the saintly Beveridge—was put upon the table for exami- nation. His case was perhaps unprecedented in the history of politics. He was a candi- date in his own town of Evanston fora seat in the County Convention, and was rejected. When Logan ordered a bolt from Farwell Tall there was not a delegate from the Third Congressional District that obeyed his de- mand. He was obliged to have some dele- gates, so he picked up Beverldge and some others and made them delegates to the sc- called Palmer House Convention, and subse- quently sent him as a delegate to Springfield. So utterly rotten, unsavory, fraudulent, and scandalous, however, was the claim of Beveridge to 2 seat in the State Convention, that even the stomachs of Logan and Raum revolted; they admitted that to admit Bey- eridge would be too much, so they ordered that Beveridge and fifty-five others should be excluded from the State Convention. When the delegates from the Third Congressional District met to appoint delegates to the Chi- cago Convention’ there was not a ‘“ Grant man” among them. The vote was unani- mous against a third term. Logan, there- fore, in order to find persons to send to Chi- eago from the Third District, had to fall back.on Beveridge. Without a vote from any delegate in the Third District, Beveridge was equal to the demand fora man having the brazen indecency to present himself as a delegate to represent the ‘Third or any other distriét against the unanimous vote of the district. The National Gonvention on Friday night ordered him out,—to leave,—and he, too, evacuated. The like process was taken fn the case of the Fourth District, and Logan’s “patent” delegates were ordered to leave. In the order of expulsion Logan had up to this time demanded a separate vote, but when the Fifth District, the “Galena Dis- trict,” was reached, it was considered advisa- ble not to have an aye and no vote on admit- ting anti-Grant delegates from Grant’s own district. So a vfva voce vote was taken, and, tothe tune of “Make room for your anti,” the twelve remaining delegates appointed by Logan silently folded their tents and stole away, being greeted at the outer door with open arms and fraternal tears by Wentworth and Beveridge. On the outside of the camp from which they had been drummed the wailing and profanity was terrific. Whiting, and Long John, and McNulty, and Dan Shepard, and Gilplerce denounced the action of the Con- vention in “expelling three statesmen” whose names were enrolled on the Lats of Congress, while Dick Rowett threatened the vengeance of the State of Macoupin. ‘The usurpation was over.. Logan’s fiat had been disregarded; Illinois was not a bull- dozed unit; and John’s creatures could find nosympathy in all the broad land, Illinois was free. 7 , Srate-sovercienty is good Democratic Bourbon doctrine, and everybody knows in what school Senator Logan obtained his ideas of it. But State-sovereignty within a party is a newand ridiculous assertion of that exploded heresy, which, if it were not for the gravity of the occasion, would quick- ly be Jaughed out of court by every intelli- gentiman. State-sovereignty is based upon the assuinption that the majority of the peo- clusive of and paramount to any that the National Government can exercise. But who ever heard before-that te majority of a party in a State was also a sovereign entity? The party may have a majority in the State, or it inay be in @ hovel minority. It makes no difference which. If the Republicans of Iili- nois are a sovereign entity, the Republicans of Kentucky or Delawure are also a ‘* sover- .| eign entity.” So we might have the spec- tacle, if Senator Logan’s Democratic-Calhoun doctrine should prevail, of the Republicans of some Southern State coming to Chicago and claiming to be “sovereign,” when, as a mat- terof fact, they cannot name the pound- keeper or the hog-reeve in their native villages. We shall have the additional in- structive experience of a divided sovereignty. Sovereign Mlinois will be found assembling at Chicago in a Republican Convention, at Cincinnati in a Demoeratic Convention, at Chicago again in a Greenback Convention, at Cleveland ina Prohibitionist Convention, and at a great variety of other Conventions which the people, or some of them, of Illi- nois may choose to attend. If State-sover- eignty can beexercised by-a party conven- tion without the intervention of any body recognized by the organic law of the State, there is no telling to what useful purposes this delightful theory ot be put. Tue Indian weed has received another heavy blow. The Methodist Annual Conference has ordered that one of the questions to be asked of candidates forthe ministry shalibe: * Will you wholly refrain from the use of tobacco?” ‘What will happen if the young man answers in the negative is not stated, but we take it for granted that he will not receive his papers. Dr. Lanaben made some awkward remarks. He said that delegates on the tloor used tobacco, “ and what would young men think of such per- sons asking such questions?” It does-not re- quire any enormous perspicacity to make a good guess at what they would think. Etghty-three reverend genticmen rallied to the cause of the weed, but 125 sat down upon it, 80 to speak, and | crushed it. Dr. Curry, who is perhaps a votary ; of the great plant, made a light skirmishing ef- fort in its behalf by asking if candidates in China were to be questioned in China about opium, or in India about betel-nut. But it was of no use. Tobacco was placed among the prohibited pleas- ures of clergymen—who are yuung. oes: $$ AN Englishman, who had a painful tooth to be drawn, recently went to a London dentist. Asthe operation seemed likely to be a difficult one, itwas decided he should be subjected to the influence of nitrous-oxide gas, which was ad- ministered by a doctor. To the astonishment both of dentist and doctor, they found that when he had Inhaled the usual quantity, about eight or nine gallons, he was not in the least affected, and they went on until he bad taken between eighteen and nineteen gallons. He was still en- Urely unaspbyxiated; but just then the patient thought the doctor motioned to him to shut his eyes, which had been wide open. He had xot done s0; but when. the eyes closed the dentiss, drew the tooth, and with it a how! from the sufferer. During the whole operation he was perfectly sensible of what was going on, and felt the pain as acutely as if no anmsthetic had been used. Inall the wide experiéace of the medical men to whom the fact has been men- tioned, not one of them ever came across & patient on whom this powerful aniesthetic had no effect, nor has any one of them known an- other person take anything like the quantity administered to this paticnt. ‘ << ASTRONOMICAL.

His position that evening will be a very in- terestigs one,—just on the northern edge of the Beehive cluster, sometimes called Praesepe. That group, of x great many small stars, is sit- uated nearly midway between Gamma and Delta Cancri, formerly called The Aselll, or the Two Asses.

Uranus souths next Thursday at 5:11 p.m. He is still about one anda half times the breadth of the full moon to the northeast from Rho Leonis, but seareely visible to’ the ordinary naked-eye observer; and his moons are now difficult objects through the telescope, owing to his Increased distance from the earth, and to that fact that he is rather low down in the west by the time the evening twilignt is over. Neptune culminates at 9:28 a.m, Thursday. He is too near the sun to be an interesting ob- Ject even to the astronomer. <a Ir the young man who wassenton his travels by a wise father to learn with how little wisdom the world is governed had been present at the National Republican Convention on Friday, ho might have learned his lesson and returned home with that branch of his education com- pleted. He would have seen the distinguished stutesman of New York, who has for many years occupied a seat in the Senate of the United States as an acknowledged leader, and who has established an empire in the Empire State, seriously propose to practically expel from the Convention three members, life-long Republic- ans, whose fidelity to the party had never been questioned, for the reason that these members had in the exereise of their judgment voted against a resolution offered by the distinguished statesman! The proposition of the New York Senator was, to say the least of it, a blunder of which a tyro in stutesmanshp ought to be ashamed. But the young man in pursuit of the learning his father sent him to acquire would havefound astill more striking lesson in the speeches and performances of the distinguished statesman from Ilinols. The right of Senator Logan and the other delegates-at-large from Illinois to’ their seats was challenged and contested. The Committee on Credentials, after hearing cvi- dence and arguments, reported in favor of these delegates. Of what had Senator Logan to com- plain? Ifthe Committee had falled to report upon this contested case then they would havo, failed in their duty, and the Senator would have had good ground to complain, and it fs easy to imagine how he would have rent the air in his indignation ut the Committee which had not de- cided bis case and vindicated hisright to his seat. With nothing to complain of, with oo octasion to say a word, after tho matter had been clearly explained, the distinguished Lllinols statesman wasted the time of the Conventfon ina long speech devoted to his own glorification, and en- tirely impertinent and uneniicd for, and then, when the sharp but fair thrusts of the California gentleman came, got into a passion, ana, if pos- siblé, made himself still more ridiculous, ‘Have we no asylum for imbeciles? SS Toe Spanish army is top heavy. It has too many Generals drawing pay who have no mento command and nothing to do except to devour the substance of the taxpayers. Says the Pall fall Gazette: Large armies have been raised from time to time to curry on the struggles inwhich the sev- erul factions have been engaged; and, although it has always been casy on the cessation of hus- tilities to reduce the strength of the rank and file, it has generally been found necessary to re- tain the ofticery on the establishment of the army, even though thelr services may no longer have been required. Moreover, each party as {t has succeeded to power bas been obliged to re- ward its adherents in the urmny by giving them promotion, and thus the lists of oilicers of high- errank especially have continually increased in length. At present, for instance, there ure no fewer than 589 Generals on the uctive list of the army, though the total strength of the lutter,even including the Guardia Civil or National Guard, the Provincfules or Provincial imilitlu, and. the Curabineros, is barely 150,000 of all ranks. A bill has, however, now been laid before tho Cortes for reducing this enormous number of Gener- als. It is proposed that four Captaina-General, forty Lieutenant-Generals, sixty Major-Gener. als, and 160 Brigadier-Generals only suull be re- tained on the active list, the remainder being tuced on a reserved lst. None of theotticerson the reserved list are to hold communds in time of peuce, but they are to be allowed to wear unt- fo¢m, and are to be eligible tor promott = caneies in higher ranks on the active liste oe ‘Min, Clank Mixus fs reported by the Nash- | ville Banner as anxious to make an equestrian statue of Gen.

He needs something tamer,—something expressing the gentler, refined felings that show in his face. Jackson's horse suits the man who did what Jackson did. Johnston déesn’t want such asteed asthat. He wants atine horse, but he would look better going a little slower." : a AcEnsts act will probably be passed at the Present session of the British Parliament. The English journals recognize the fact that too lit- te attention is paid in the United Kingdom to these decennial enumerations.

In Norway there have beenon an average 9 per cent fewer cases of suicide during the last ten years than in the preceding ten years,—a fact which is attributed by the Ger man writer to the stringent regulations against drunkenness in force there. In most German countries the number of cases of suicide has in- ereased by from 90 to 100 per cent.
