On motion of Mr, Russell, Professor Akers, of Linn, was renominated for Superintendent of Public Instruction by acclamation. Judge Heed, of Council Bluffs, was nominated for Supreme Judge on the first ballot The platform va reported through Senator Wilson. It is ito lengthy. The lirst resolution reviews tho past record of the

pniuy. Temperance is tican wwn in tne 101- . lowing two planks : 2. That while we extend onr earnest gympnthy- : to the peonlo of all countries who are struggling for their rights in oppositon to oppressive laws j and systems, we afro plant ourselves on the side of the homes of our own people in their contest j against the saloons Ilia! when tho Republican ' party of Iowa pledged itself in 1S79 to give to 1 the people at a sp cial non-partisan election an I opportunity to vote on a proposition to so amend the constitution of the State as to prohibit the ! manufacture and sale as a beverage of intoxieating liquors it acted in good faith, and the 1 special election of June 27, 1882, evidences the redemption ot the pledge so given, and we now declare that we accept the result of that election with its majority ot 29,971 votes in favor ot tho adoption of tho amendment so voted on as the verdict of thepeopleinfavorof constitutional and statutory prohibition, and without mitk ins any new test of party fealty wo recognize the moral and political obligation which requires the enactment of such laws by the next General Assembly as shall provide for tho establishment and enforcement of the principle and policy affirmed by tho people at said non-partisan election, and to that end the faith of the party is pledged. Other resolutions of general interest are as follows: 4. That tho power to regulate State commerce belongs to the General Assembly, and that which relates to tat?r-Stte commerce to Con press, and both should be so exercised as to establish a just equilibrium between producers, transrorters and consumers, and all arbitrary discriminations of pools and combinations to prevent competition or work injustice to communities or individuals at olthcr competing or noneompetina points should be prohibited, and such prohibition enforced; that tho General Assembly at its next session should enact a law prohibiting tho giving or receiving by publio officers of any railway pass during tho terms of itHce, and the samo should be enforced by proper penalties against both giver and re ceivers. 6. That stabillly Is desirable in such pnulld policy as relates to and effects all productive industries, and we condemn tho threat of tho Iowa Democracy to disturb and keep at unrest said industries and the capital and labor employed therein by gradual and persistent efforts to so change tho customs laws as to establish free trade, and insist upon such revenue laws as will encourage American industries and protect Amcrioan labor, in order that the American worklngman shall have a fair day's wages for a fair day's work, and tend to assure permanent employment. 7. That the inability of tho Democratic party during the six years that it held undisputed control of tho House of Representatives of Congress to agree oa legislation for the revision ol the tariff and tho reform of the civil service, notwithstanding both subjects were constantly and prominently present in its platform, promises and campaign activities, and the passage, of laws affecting both of said objects by the Republican Congress at its late session, demonstrates anew the incapacity of tho former to deal with questions of great publio concern, and that the country must rely on tho latter tot practical legislation. As well-grounded supports for such reliance we point not Only to the action of tho late Republican Congress, as heretofore mentioned, bnt also to the additional facts that the customs and internal taxation waa reduced over $700,000,000, $202,000,000 appropriated for tho pymcnt of pensions to our soldiers, and still an abundant revenue was provided td maintain the publio credit and meet all of the demands on the treasury of the nation. The other resolutions favor the creation by Congress of a Department of Industry and improvement of waterways; favor the repeal of tho time olauso in the application of soldiers for pensions, and the exemption of soldiers' pension money and homesteads from execution. The last three resolutions are as follows: 10. That, in the Interest of public order, personal security, and economy in the administration of the laws, wo favor such amendments t the criminal code ot the State as will make nior certain and speedy tho conviction or criminals and the punishment and prevention of crime, and at the same time lessen tne burdens imposed upon tho tax-payers by the numerous and vexa- j tious delays now too often attendant upon tht administration of justice. 11. That, in view of the rapid development ol the mining Industry of Iowa, the large numbers of workingmon cmylnyed therein, and the dangerous character ot the work, we favor such legislation as will provide for the safety of the persons and lives of tho miners, and alsi foi tho prompt, just and equitable adjustment ot the differences between the employers and em- ' ploves in said industry. 1 12. Thtt wer.tcr with pride to the fact that the poblio debt of lona Is extinguished, and t'jat the rot' of onr R ate tax is lef s thin that tf any other Western State, and w; congratulate Gov. , Sherman and our State administration on tho . faithful and efficient manner in which our pub- ' lie affairs have been conducted. ! 13. That the wise, conservative administration of President Arthur meets with the hearty approval of the Republicans of Iowa, and we cor- ! dially approve the promise given by him to tho ' delegation appointed by the Philadelphia Convention of Irish-American citizens that the subled of the grievances contained in the resolu

tion of said body presented to him should have thorongh and exhaustive investigation, and such action as tho Government may lawfully take. Minnesota.

I beard Mr. Mitchell tvas real fussy about his clerks, but I'm sura he can find nothing to object to in my handsome, well dresKcd brother," and tho older sister looked admiringly at Fred's fair face, smooth locks and well-fitting suit. "Perhaps I'll call around there after a while," Fred said, carelessly. "Please hurry and go now, won't vou ?" his sister said ; "Pin afraid somebody ha3 snatched up the place before this time." Fred finished his breakfast in a leisurely way, put a few extra touches to his already-careful toilet, lighted a cigar and sauntered forth. "Better throw away your oigaif before yon go in. Mr. Mitchell may object to that," said Louise, who stood in the front door as he passed out. "Hell have to teke me as I am," Fred said with a lofty air; "all gentlomen smoke. I do not propose to be a slave to him or any other man." He called in at his uncle's office on the way and procured a letter of recommendation. Thus equipped, be felt confident of success. Just behind him there walked with bright stop a boy of 15. a year or two vouuger than himself. This was David Gregg. He, too, had seen the advertisement, and was on the way to 650 Washington street. He was the eldest of a family of children whose father had died at the beginning of this long winter. David had tried hard to find employment, had improved every moment by doing odd jobs for anybody, hod studied the papers and answered advertisements until be was well-nigh discouraged. The places were sure to be filled by persons who had influential friends ; be had none, for his father bad removed to tho city from the country only a short time before his death, and now, more because he applied for everything ho heard of than from any hope of success, be bad risen very early that morning, made the fire, ami while bis mother was preparing breakfast pat himself in the neatest possible order to go to Mitchell & Tyler's. When he appeared at the breakfasttable looking so bright and neat, his mother thought he was a son to be proud of, tho handsomest boy in the city ; yet his face was actually homely as far as beauty of features was concerned; his clothes were coarse, and he bad no Hashing pin, or gold cuff buttons liko the elegant young gentleman who now walked before biin. What was the reason that r.raong the largo number of boys who filed in and out of Mitchell & Tyler's private office no one of them had been selected to till the vacant clerkship? Mr. Mitchell, the senior partner of the firm, had asked some plain, straightforward questions of them. "Where do you spend your ovenings ?" "Do you play cards, go to tho theater?" etc., for Mr. Mitchell had declared to bis partner, "If there is a boy in the world who bos good habits and right principles, I'm going to bunt hiru up if it takes all winter," so it turned out that many of the boys could not give satisfactory answers to the searching questions, and others, when Mr. Mitehell sounded their knowledge of figures, were not ready reckoners. They came and wenj; for one whole day, und as aeon m the door was opened the next morning candidates came flocking in like birds. And now it was Fred Baker's turn. He stood before Mr. Mitchell, bis hat on bis bead, his cigar removed from bis month, it is true, bat tho smoko thereof curling up into the merchant's face. He presented his letter of introduction. Mr. Mitcholl read it, then asked a few questions. Meanwhile bis practical eye was taking it all in tho cigar, tho imitation diamond, the large seal-ring, tho flashing net-tie. He knew in a twinkling where Fred Baker probably spent bis evenings, and that it would take more money to indulge his tastes than bo could honestly earn. To Fred's astonishment be presently beard, "I do not thiuk, young man, that you are just the one wo havo in mind for this place." Theu, before be know it he was bowed ont. The next boy who was admitted did not advance with .such an over-confident air. He held his hat in his hand and spoke in a modest, respectful manner. "Havo you any recommendation ?" "No, sir; I have none," David answered, a little dejectedly. "We have not been long in tho city." "Well, yon need none, if I can trust my eyes,'' Mr. Mitchell remarked to himself. The bright, frank faco and the manly air of tho boy impressed, him most favorably. Ho was still more pleased when lie drew him into conversation and learned what books ho was fond of, and how he was going on with his studios evenings, although ho had boen obliged to leave tho High School and earn his living. Mr. Mitchell has very sharp eyes ; ho took noto of the well-brushed garments, the ehiuing boots, the snowy collar and cuffs, tho delicately-clean iingoi'-naiUs even by such small things as theso ia character read -aud abovo all, the look of sincerity and honesty shining from the blue eves. "Well, Mr. David," Mr. Mitchell said, as be got np aud walked bach and forth, "what if I weve to toll you that you could have the situation providing yon will work part of the Sabbath?"

It was a most cruel test. Tho boy

hesitated just a moment then he said,

while the color rose and his voice

ohoked, "I should say, sir, that I oaa not accent it."

"Not even when your mother needs

money so badly "No, sir. My mother woidd not use money so earned. Bho bos always

taught me to obey ucd and trust liim, eome what will."

"That bos the true ring of the pure

cold." said Mr. Mitchell, bringing his

band down on David's shoulder. "My

Youth' 8 Companion. Popular Fallacy Concerning liecf Tea. Yon will even bear some doctor's talk

about building up their patients on beef

tea. Mow, tho fact is that there is in a

bowl of beef tea but little, if any, more

nutriment than uiero is m a glass of lcmoi.ado. How could there be? We

know that the principal constituent

parts of beef, beside its 7o per cent, ot water, aro albumen and fat. Now, albumen coagulates at 170 degrees Fahrenheit, and at 2i.'2, the boiling point, it becomes like eggs hard boiled. As a consequence, the albnmen contained in the meat becomes e Singled in the meshes and is firmly held there. Of conrse, then, the albnmen docs not find its way into the beef tea. As for the fat, the only remaining strengthening ingredient, that comes to the top, and is always carefully skimmed off, for nothing is more disgusting to a sensitive appetite thnn greasy beef tea. And yet tl ey will say that well-made beef tea is very palatable, and seems to do good n many c.:.ses of weak and disordered Btomachs. Stimulating, not nouridhiug. So .t is and so it docs. And yet beef tea iii not nourishing, however, and when we are sick and have no appetite we know that if we can get the stomach to ret lin a cup of beef tea it will not be long before the organ will call for something that is really substantial and nourishing. "A Professor," in New York Herald. . A Salt Lake on Top of a Mountain. There is a remarkable salt lake, situated ISO miles west and south of Albuquerque, in New Mexico, and about fifty nilcs from the Arizona line. The lako i i located on the top of a volcanic monn.ain, and evidently occupies an extinct crater. Tho lake is perhaps threo-qiiartera of a mile in diameter, and i so strongly impregnated with salt that a thick crust of pure white salt of a spongy consistency like floating ice encru its the margin. It is so plentiful that iv. is carried away by the wagon load. It has been long used by the Indians. Tiio sal-, is white, of the purest quality and destitute of' sand or any foreign ingredient. The tf xture is porous, like oongealed white foam. There was one specimen inclosing the stem of some vegetable: and can be bandied like a i apple by its stem. But the most curious feature of this lake is a tall circular column, of monument-shaped formation, which rose up near the center of tho lako to the bight of 100 feet, nnd which appeared to be composed of white lava thrown np by some convulsion during some ancient geological p ariod. The outside of this singular column sloped from the base toward the top, and was rough enough to enaU 3 it to bo ascended. On reaching the tt p of tho cono tho interior was for nd to be hollow like a tulie, and at the bottom there was seen a circular pond of water with a bright emerald (,Teen color in ftppearanco, probably to be at I ributed to the sparse rays of light whiel penetrated this huge tube, and were reflected from the smooth, niirrorlike surface of the water. A party with some difficulty descended the projecting Hides of the interior of this bowl, and they found no inet-u stations of salt on tho surface like that on the outside, bnt on tl -rusting the baud into the water and n ithdrawing it, the band came out perfectly white from the particles of salt t' iat adhered to it. It was evidently a vory strong briuo. A. L. Morrison, in St Louis Mnpublican. Counting an Army by Grains of Corn.

Matilda Joslyn Gage, in the Xorth American Review, gives a history of what woman has acomplisLed in the domain of invention. She affirms that ancient tradition accords to woman an ability of invention not possessed by man. Egypt was tae first country to make advances in the useful nnd decora tive Kits, and to Iris is the praise dne. She invented bread making, the cultivation of grain, the art of healing and of embalming. Tho Athenians recognized Minerva as the goddess of invention, and credited Ceres with introducing valuable plants for cultivation. To the Amazons, the invention of the javelin, shield and battle-ax is attributed, as well as the toils and nets employed by hunters. Leaving the realm of mythology and tradition, this author attempts to shov that women invented pottery, spinning, weaving, and the manufacture of lace, crape, and various other clothes. She affirms that tradition in India and America attributes the art of manufacturing cotton fiber into cloth by women. She insists that tho widow of Gem Greene, cf Revolutionary fame, not only suggested the construction of the cotton-gin to Whitney, bat actually superintended the construstion of the first machine. She states tha she de clined to take out a patent in her own fianisj as "to have done so would have exposed ber to the ridicule and contumely of her friends and a loss of position in society." She states that the straw industry In this country owes its oridn to Miss BetsV Mirtcalf, who,

in 1798 made tho first straw bonnet

ever manufactured in the United btates. She claims that Mrs. Ann Homed Manning, of Plainfleld, N. J., was the first Inventor of tiie mowing and reaping machine and of the clover huller. She claims that the best baby carriage was the invention of a woman, as was the

I have the honor to be the husband

of a literary wife. Exalted position, that. Several times a day I am made proudly aware of the fact "There goes Jedd," I hear some ono exclaim. "Well, who is he?" inquired tho person addressed. "Why, don't you know? He's husband of Mrs. Jedd, the authoress."

"Oh! ah! yes!" surveying me critical

ly from "top to too" as J. pass along, amply convinced that I occupy a very exalted position in life; and I fully appreciate the honor which Mrs. Jedd confers upon me in allowing me to be the husband of bo distinguished a per

son as herself; but, really, it is impossible to conceal from my own heart that

aside from the high dignity conferred the -situation also has its trials. Mrs. Jeddocoupies a far more exalted position than myself; in fact, she is generally in a state of great exaltation; so much so that, at times, she i3 entirely unable to descend to common cares and occupations of every-day tie, and myself and the children are put to much inconvenience in consequence. For instance, she will oiten, as tiie dinner hour approaches, lie so raised up by some subject upon which she is engaged as to rendor her entirely oblivions to the pangs of hunger. The children and myself, not being lifted into the "seventh heaven" which she has reached, feel strongly the force of habit and the want of our noon-day meal. But we do not disturb Mrs. Jedd; we know the attempt would be useless. Long experience is an excellent teacher. If I want a repast I prepare it myself, or see that it is prepared, and my distinguished "bettor-half" generally condescends to como down and partake heartily of it to please her doting husband. If I want a button sewed on a shirt, pants, coat or vest, I have my own needle, thimble and thread for the purpose, and well understand the use of them. If I want a pair of clean socks (as I

believe overy man does occasionally), I

either co and buy them, wait a year or

two till Mrs. Jedd gets time to sow up the gaps, or wear them with mv great

toes and small toes exposed to the weather, and my heel to the merciless inside of my boot. Bnt I still affirm I
