At a few minntcs past 11 the convention was called te order by Chairman Estee, who had nearly lost his voice, and baraadiatAly called Senator Hisoock to the chair te preside over the session, which was formally cpene d with prayer by the Bev. J. H. Worcester, ot Chicago. In his invocation he prayed that the spirit which would rale o?er the proceedings of the convention might be a spirit not of narrow partisanship but of broad patriotism. The convention at once proceeded to the call of states for a ballot for President. Th. ballot resulted as follows: 81 52 80 . Si 1U 7s iltV Greshxnt,.. HawUy M Ingalhl Pherpa..

Before a second ballot, Mr. Smith, of Pennsylvania, who had nominated Edwin H. Fitter, withdrew his name. The second ballot was then proceeded with. Daring the announcement of the votes the convention was more sedate than it has been at any time during its sessions.

The convention was called to order at 7:15 p, in, by Chairman Estee, who had recovered his voice to a certain degree, The hand struck up inspiring national airs, amongst them being "Dixie," which however, did not create the enthusiasm which its very rendition excited at the recent St. Lotus convention. "My Country, Tis of Thee," was more popular, and was sreeted With applause, as also "Matching Through Georgia. As the music ceased Mr. Depew ascended the platform and received an enthusiastic ovation from the delegates and audience. In a few words, he withdrew his name- - John S. Wise, of Virtfima. arose on be half of the Virginia delegation and said-j tnat that aeiegaiion naa elected tne following officers: Chairman, John 8.

He said that hentrose in the interest of. ttarmouv and enntion and in what he be lieved to be the best interest- of the -. He believed that those interested the convention would be best served by an adjournment until to-morrow morninfrin order to trive the convention time to meet and to hare more oppor tunity of understanding, and to prevent a hasty and unconsidered action. He therefore moved to adjourn until 10 o'clock to-morrow morning. The roll was called and the convention decided to adjourn by a vote 533 yeas to 888 nays. The New York Tribune has the following cable dispatch from London: Mr. Blaine telegraphs from Jedburg that several American correspondents are following him, but that any attempt to represent that he has modified the position taken in - his Florence and Paris letters is entirely groundless. This is at U request. Ike Hussher r Werds We Use.

Tho topaz is expected to become popular again, and many are being held for a raise. The importations of amber have increased remarkably of late.

The present demand for pearls has stimulated search fyr them in all directions. The fresh ater pearls from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Texas. are unrivaled for fine color.

The total of the Mil it Saa,. 14,710, being $5,027,897 less than tho regular rstiniates, and $7,881,278 less than tho regular nd iipeoiiu estimates. The amount appropriated irt the same purpose! for the entrant ideal year was tSS ,505,540. The apparent excess if SI,208,2C7 over the present appropriation is nearly accounted for tn two featnros of the bill Jono for the Congressional library S11 ,800, and for expenses of United States oourts an increase ,.f S05s,coii. Among thiinoreasos In the bill over tho present appropriation are x75,Q00' for the llock Island dam and S0.Q00 for the Bock Island 'ridge Astoso the measures passed by tho Sonata on the 18th Inst, were the bills for the reprotentatton ot the several departments at the Colnmbus bentonuM, with an amendment appropriating ),- J00; a itbxirixing tbo sate of a portion of tho Win, !iahg: reservation tn Kebrssks ; appropriating v2S0,a for a public building at Oakland, 5al. ; and authorizing the construction of rail:xd lrWes at Parkvlllc Mo., Alma, Wis., nnd Fort Smith, Ark.

Bills for the appropriation of ft 0,000 each for the erection of jutbllo buildings at Faribault and Bed Wing, Minn., were iutrndnced in tho Houso. The naval appropriation bill was reported from tbo Rouse Naval Committee. Both bouses agreed to tho uoafiireace report on the Indian appropriation Tan Bouse went Into Committee on the Sundry-Civil Appropriation Bill the 10th, and after debate a I to vision appropriating $500,000 for the library buildings vu stricken out.

When that paragraph in the snr dry civil nppropriation bill which an. pronriatei, $100,000 lor protecting the publio land j was reached, Mr. McBhano moved to amend it by reducing the amount to $50,000. He made a short but vigorous attack upon the speolalngency branch of tbo general land office. In the broadest and bitterest tonus Mr. Laird ilenonncotl not only the late Commissioner of the Genoa!

The House on the 21st voted to non-concur tn the ftenatr. amendments to the diplomatic and lonffolar and District of Columbia appropriation bills, and ordered a conference on the lastnamed measure. The Houso then went into committee of the whole on the sundry civil bill. The only change made in libe measure was the addition of an amendment offered by Mr. McShano (Neb.) abollahtig (hi 8urvyrr General's office at Lincoln, Neb., and taming the papers of tho office over to th States of Nebraska and Iowa.

It is tersely said that "all fools are mad, though some are madder than others, "and, perhaps, among the maddest of them it would be safe to reckon those who, havj, inn but 4ne life to live, run through with it in vain lamentation over troubles which (hey lanuot avoid, or, what is vainer, over those which they can, and which, someiimes, anisofar in the future that they never coxae to bother them,'' To "take Time by the forelock," is a very profitable grip to hold ou that slippery old fellow; but-Trouble is not slippery, and we should prentice our haste end activity ratber iu keeping out of her way as long as possible to build a wall of mirth, as it were, between her and us, over whioh her olumsy feet would never venture to climb. Gravity is a grave thing. It may be appropriate at certain times and in certain places, out as an every-doy dish it is tough and indigestible. A continual diet ot India rubber would, perhaps, be as favorablfi to tha growth and flourish of the body and .mind. Therefore, if we are wise as well as grave, we can show our wisdom iu no stronger way than dropping our gravity and "playing the fool now and then." Even Socrates himself knew ihe danger of too much gravity, and frequently took occasion to sink some of it in defray tide of merriment. "Mirth, says at. old writer, "purgeth the blood, eoufirms health, can eth a fresh, pleasing and fins color, prorogues life, whe ts the wit, and maketh the body young, livelyand. fit for any manner of employment." And if we need further proof of its life-giving properties we can find it in the Bible, spread jlortli in unequivocal and unniistakabla words: "A merry heart is the life of the flesh,'' sailh Proverds; and in Eccleuiastes we ace told that "Oladness prolongs a man's clays. In the plodding, matter-of-fact days of the present, it seems, we have too little time to think of much else than "business, serious business, and, when ws come to think of it, it is a serious business to have our lives shortened with cares and labors; cares and labors tliat would be a great deal moie palatable aitd far less death-dealing if seasoned with a little mirth and nonsense. Let us reform tl is altogether, and take profitably to heart Shkkspeare's advice: "Frame your mind for mirth and merriment vVhleh bars a tuoussnd harms." Chinese Superstitions. A girl who is partaking of the last meal she is to eat in her father's house previous to her marriage, sits at the table with her parents and brothers; but she must eat no more than half the bowl of rice set before her, else her deirture will "ae followed by continual scarcity in the domicile she is lea-ring. A piece of hacon aud a parcel of susftr are hung on the back of a bride's sedan chair as a sop to the demons who might inolost her while on her journey. 'The "Three Baneful Ones" are fond of salt and spices, and tho "White Tiger" likes sweets. If a bride breaks the heel of her shoe in going from her father's to her huiiband's house, it is ominous of rrahappiness in Ifer new relations. A bride may be brought home while a coffin is in her husband's house, but not within one hundred days after a coffin is carried out. Domestic troubles are sure to come upon one who is marred within one hundred days after a lureral. A bride, while putting on her wedding garments, s tands iu a round, shallow basket.

THE IBBPOSITION AT CINCINNATI.

The .Buildings and the Various Depart. V incnts. The buildings of the Centennial Exposition at Cincinnati have been erected with special referenoe to the diversified character of the exhibits which will fill them almost to overflown-g. The main Exhibit Hull, erected on Washington Park, and directly opposite the permanent Music Hall edifice, is a marvel of architectural skill, and when the decorator has finished his work, it will compote in its general construction and ornamentation with any temporary Exposition ever planned. It is cniciform in shape, extending from North to South, the amis from East to West, and from the North end is another spacious wing connecting with Music Hall by a unique bridge, a veritable "Bridge of Sighs, spanning Elm street The building is designed fox the general exhibits. The household, tho counting-room, the office, the warehouse, and the barn and stable will be considered, in respect to all their countless items of furnishings and -fittings, necessitief and luxuries, .Space does not permit any attempted inventory of the varied articles which are in use in the different spheres of life, to be smbraced in this comprehensive exhibition, for they are limited only by the demands and caprices of human nature. Testimony of Mormon Wires. The first question asked by the stranger in Salt Lake City is this : "Do the Monnnns still practice polygamy?" They flail i that they do not, jbut their asseverate ns -are taken cunt grxno salts by rhe Gentiles here. Tho Edmunds bill disfranchises women living in polygamy and fines the man $500, with iiaprisonment for six months. . The women arn "allowed" compelled would bo a more appropriate term "to testify against, their husbands. Despite tlua it is extremely difficult to secure convictions, A woman is called on the witnesj-sfc aid and a oolloouy something like this o icurs: "Ar you married? "I do net know, sir.'' "Is not the defendant your husband tinder the Mormon law?" "I cannot say, sir. "Is ibis vour child?" showinrtan iniant of two or three months' age. xeii, sit. "Who is its father V "I cannot say, air." This, is no uncommon occurrence the attorney tells me. And, after all, one can scarcely blame the women for testifying thus if they liehove in the "divine sanction of polygamy" as taught by the church. No less celebrated a. lawyer than the late Jerre S. Black has said : To compel husband and wife to testify against each other is to change every rule of evidence; a contemptuous de fiance of the great principles which protect the sanctity of the family and lie at the basis of civil society." SaM Lake City letter. Oysters as Food. Chemists say that a quart of oysters contains about -the same quantity of actual nutritive substance as a quart of mukorapotodof pound a:! a half pi fresh codfish or twothirds of a, liound of bread. But tho usea of the nutriments vary; for in stance, the lean meat and codfish are most neJh-formers, consisting largely of protein, whilo the bread, with its starch, has but little of these, and serves the body as fuel and supplies it with heat and muscular energy, Ovsters come nearer to milk than almost any other -common food material, both in amount and proportion of nutriments. Their values for supplying the body with material to build up its parts, re pair its wastes, and furnish it with heat and energy are pretty nearly the 3nme. Hut the cost of the fiesh-fornung ma terial in oysters is very high. When they are twenty-five' cento a quart the protein that is contained in them costs $1.68 a pound, while the cost of protein in milk, at seven cents a quart, is fifty-three cents a, pound; in salt codfish, forty-three cents; in mackerel, nineteen ; in wheat flour, eleven, and in beef from sixty-three cents to $1.06. Ttteretore, oysters are classed as delicacies rather than as staple food. Good Housekeeping. The Society of Old Books. There are some pleasant tinners about being ill, and one of them is that in the long, slow hours when one has te keep still, one as naturally returns to old books as to old friends. While I was Under the tyranny of the doctor and the apothecary (and I am only writing to catch the apothecary's boy that I may wither liim with a glance or deliver him to the spooks), I lived my life again with Philip, Fendennis and dear old Col. fiewcome. When will there ever be such another seer of souls as Thack eray? I think he must have known every type of woman, except the one of to-day. It's very true that his good ones have an inclination to be a little milk-nnd-waterv, but ohl how he does paint the wicked and wordly ones, and what magnificent men he has shown us.

It is through the medium of a regular action of the kidneys and bladder that an ontlot is afforded for the escape ot Impurities which beget not only rheumatic, bnt gouty ailments,' and dropsical effusions.

He will crawl into a bed iu the middle of the day and wait patiently until night, when the rightful owner orawls in, so hp, the intruder, can improve his opportunity to get even with the human race, against whom be lias a spite. But man has a friend in the prairie runner, which is the nne of a bird whose mission in life is to supervise the centipede census. This bird has a fondness for centipedes ati natwel. If it were not for these industrious birds centipedes would be as plentiful as men who think they understand all about the tariff question. When a prairie runner discovers a centipede, he takes the insect in his bill, and runs off with him. What the object of the bird is in running I cannot imagine, unless he, the bil l, wants the centipede to admire the grace and swiftnessof his motions. After giving the centipede a ride, the prairie runner pauses, and passes the insect with a sideway chewing-gum sort of motion through his bill, very much as a linen collar is passed through a patent clothes wringer. Then the centipede is pale and cold in death, and the prairie runner, which raust be provided with a digester lined with sheet-iron, swallows the insect endways, If the officers of the law were as keen to arrest malefactors as the prairie runner is to gobble up evil-minded centipedes, real estate along the Bio Grande would be worth much more than it is.

"Teaching the Craw a Lesson, On a recent cruise of the United States man-of-war Michigan, a sailor, who is a Chicago man, attempted to throw an exhausted quid of tobacco over

the roil into tho water. His aim was bad, and the quid fell on the deck. An offioer observed it. He would not allow ithnt ordcrea the entire crew to rig np a gun tackle. The gun tackle is a hawser three and a half inohes thick, and weighs 2,500 pounds. Being seldom, if ever us-jd, it was stowed away in the hold and covered up. To get it on deck and rig it up is a long, hard task. But the gun tackle was rigged up, and the commanding officer attached to it a silk thread. He made a loop in the thread, lassoed the quid of tobacco, made it fast, all hands gave a long pull and' a strong pull, and the quid of tobacco was hoisted over-, board. Then the gun tackle was taken down and stowed awny in the hold. It required eleven hours of hard work to get the tobacco overboard, and it is the opinion of the commanding officer that no more quids of tobacco will be thiown on the deck of the Michigan for some time to come.
