At 2:30 the convention was called to order. 11. F. Corwiu, of Putnam, was made chairman, and G.vylord S. MeClure. of Montgomery, was chosen as Secretary, lion. Thomas T. Moore, of Putnam, was nomiuated for Joint Representative on the first ballot. The Republicans all feel that he will be elected.

on account of the confusion in regard to the race and with the belief that Mr. Brookshire's course with regard to appointments lias rendered Democratic success hazardous. Thereupon E. V. Brookshire was nominated by acclamation on motion of a Montgomery county delegate, the nomination seconded by another delegate from this county. Each county in turn seconded the nomination of Brookshire except Vermillion and Fountain. No delegate could be found in either of these delegations who would speak in favor of the 1110tiou. The motion was put before the inius convention. The chair asked for the "nays" and six delegates in differ- There are few persons alive who can ent parts of the house, two from Clay, remember the year lSlii. but one of our two from Fountain and others scatter-! citizens can call to mind that his parents told liim about the fact that ia this year there was really no summer.

The zealous friends of Brookshire attempted to get fulsome praises of Brookshire in the resolutions and censure of Senators Voorhees and Tnrpie because they had not demanded the passage of the Wilson bill or nothing. This raised a row in the committeeroom and by a vote of 4 to 3 the resolutions were amended in the proper spirit, congratulating the Indiana representatives iu Congress for doing their full duty so far as laid in their power. All that there was to mar the serenity of the convention otherwise was the blind, fanatical hatred of Brookshire's unfortunate managers, who thought they saw "boogee-men" and hobgoblins all around.

The Colore*! Circles of the Second ItaptlHt Church in Commotion— I-j» Before tlie Mayor.

There was a misunderstanding or something else -at the colored Baptist church prayer meeting last night. It seems that Ed Ilobinson wanted to pray and take part in the services and there were some who objected. Robinson. it is alleged, has charges pending against him at Evansville and lie wanted the church to try him here. This, however, was refused, and he was informed that before lie could take part in the services here he must return to Evausville and be cleared of the charge against him. During the argument Robinson called Elder Miller a liar, and as matters were getting rather warm for Robinson, Elder Miller turned out the lights and Robinson retreated from the church and gathered up a rock. But the rock was not thrown, and Robinson was assessed by Mayor Handel 510.40 for provoke. During the excitement Cassius Johnson also called Elder Miller a liar, and Justice Chumaiiero fined her SI and costs for provoke. Now, Elder Miller is in danger of ibeing arrested for provoke. The parties were on the hunt of the prosecuting attorney and other arrests mav follow.

March was eold and boisterious during the first part of it: the remainder was mild. A great freshet on the Ohio and Kentucky rivers caused great loss of property. April began warm, but grew colder as the month advanced, and ended in snow and ice. May was more remarkable for frowns than smiles. Buds and tlowers were frozen ice formed half an inch thick: corn was killed, and the tields were again and again planted until deemed too late. June was the known in this latitude.

On the nth ice was formed of the thickness of common window glass throughout New England, New York and some parts of Pennsylvania. Indian corn was nearly all destroyed. Some favorably situated fields escaped. This was true of some of the hill farms of Massachusetts. August was more cheerless, if possible, than the summer month already passed. Ice was formed half au inch thick. Indian corn was so frozen that the greater part of it was cut down and cured for fodder. Almost every green thing was destroyed, both iu this country and in Europe. Papers received from Europe stated that it would be remembered by the present generation that the year 1810 was a year in which there was no summer. Very little corn ripened in New Edgland and the Middle States. Farmers supplied themselves from the corn produced in 1815 for the seed of the spring of 1S17. It sold at from §4 to 85 a bushel. September furnished about two weeks of tlie mildest weather of the season. Soon after the middle it became very cold and frosty, and ice formed almost a quarter of an inch thick.

October produced more than its share or cold weather—frost and ice abundantly. November was cold and

Getting Into a third-class carriage at a suburban station, gentleman found the only other occupant was a traveling minstrel with a large harp In a green baize covering. Presently the station where tickets were taken was reached, and as the train Journeyed on the gentleman was startled at hearing a sort of mu Sled whisper issue apparently from the harp. Seeing him looking rather curiously at it, the man In charge of it remarked: "I'm sure you are a gentleman who won't cause trouble. The fact is, when I haven't made much money it comes cheaper for my little girl to travel with the harp and, hastily undoing the baize covering, out stepped a business-like young damsel of about ten.—London Answers.

WAS IT STEALING?

How a Brutal Husband Was Taught a Needed Lesson.

"Speaking of the disabilities of women, some people would have you believe there were none nowadays because women are more favored iu this land than iu others, that their rights are well enough protected and they have nothing to wish for. Why, It was only this morning I heard of a woman lepooked down by her husband and oalled a thief for taking money from his pocket, as if it had been his money only and not hers that she had worked hard for. Her little boy, with other children, had got into some trouble—some petty offense-—and it was to release him that she was hunting around for money. Uei- husband never gave her an" although a well-to-do man and she a hard-working woman."

The speaker paused, and there were many questions asked and a general buzz of conversation. Through It all Mrs. Arens sat and listened. She heard no uames, and she was very attentive. What if it were Ellen, the sister who had been like a mother to her, married to such a penurious man? She should not feei easy till she saw hjer. At the first good opportunity she ordered her carriage and, putting Ip some cushions, almost smiling at her fearB, she told liennis where to drive.

It was at the other end of town, at the foot of a lane leading up to a small, shabby looking house that lie stopped the horses, aud she got out to walk. 1 he window shades were down, and she walked around to the back door, pushed it open, and passed iuto the kitchen, On an old lounge was the prostrate form of her sister, with suffering in her face. 'Ellen, is it true," she said, ''what I have heard? Did he dare to raise his hand against you, after all these years? Tell me quickly. Where are you hurt?" "Oh, no! Oli, no! It was only the words. "They startled me so. It was what he oalled me. 1 hit the table— the sharp corner. I hurt my side. I believe I did fall, aud It is ver3* sore but 1 am going to get up." She made a resolute effort, but fell back with a white face and an exclamation of pain. "^ou must go home with me. You are all worn out, and there is no one here to nurse and care for you properly. Lie perfectly still, my'dear, till I come back."

Mrs. Arens called to Dennis, who drove away for help. Then she went about the house picking up what would be needed, and when Dennis returned, her sister, quite unresisting, was lifted into the carriage, carefully wrapped up and driven away.

Hiram Blake, on coming home that night, found no fire, no wife, no supper, no son. Such an experience had never happened before in the whole course of his married life. He had been hard at work all day, and had had no time to think of the occurrence of the morning, but now it came baok with a troubled insistence. He went to a house not far away, where lived a woman known as "old Emeline," who sometimes came to help his wife. He hired her now to come and get him something to eat. Then as he moved uneasily about the room, from window to table, trying to re%d, and putting bis paper down again, little Paul came in with a scared look. He said his mother was at his Aunt Ruby's, and that the doctor said she would be sick a long time. "Don't wonder!" sniffed old Emeline, castiry? a black look at Hiram Blake. "It's a wonder she wa'n't took sick a long while afore. She had work enough for three women to do here."

At the end of a week the man acknowledged to himself that he had never been so miserable In his life. He dismissed the hired men after the day's work, for the faithful wjfe was no longer there to feed them. Paul remained at his aunt's muah of the time, only coming home now and then to report the slow progress of the patient.

Loitering in the lane one evening, Hiram Blake saw some one leading a horse very carefully, who Inquired if there was any hotel near, as something was the matter with his horse, and he wished to find a veterinary surgeon to examine it. Mr. Blake did an unprecedented thing for him. He asked the stranger in, while he went for a neighboring doctor skilled In the treatment of animals. He prescribed some remedies, and the stranger, who said his name was Dixon, wae invited to stop with Mr. Blake, such was his utter loneliness. Tie accepted gladly for a few days. Tho old housekeeper grumbled at having another "to do for)" but after tho first day she made no further complaint, saying: "Mr. Dixon was likely man, and pleasant spoken some difference between him and Hi Blake—" and she prophesied "they would not pull together long."

Mr. Dixon was so solicitous for his horse, and worlcod so persistently for its comfort, that it excited his host's comment. "But that is my religion," Mr. Dixon »nswered. "to make everything around me as happy as it is in my power. Tou have a good boast there," and he pointed to a strawberry roan named Peter. "My wife is fond of that horse." Hiram Blake's voice sounded strangely to him. "He looks overworked." "Yes. He has been doing the work of two horses lately. I must let him rest a bit, or he will be nothing but skin and bonesi but there is no other way to get along. One can't do as he would like to, but as he can." "I wish you would let me take down the partition between these two stalls, they ore too narrow for Poter to rest well. A horse needs plenty of room, and I shall sleep better for it, too."

Once a proposal like this would have been met with derlaion, but Mr. Blake wa« surprised at his own readiness to assist, and, while one bathed the stiff legs, the other brought an extra measure of meaL "You would soon spoil the critters." Be spoke Jocosely, aud a little awkwardlj, "Oh, no," said nls companion, earnestly, "I am only pleading fortheir

rights." 'I didn't know they had\any such particular rlo-hta." Mr. Blafa^ hroucrht

the words out slowly. "Oh, yes, every living thing has rights we are bound to respect. We can make a heaven for them here, if we will, and for ourselves, too." "I thought Heaven was a long way off, with au angry God to rule It." "Heaven is riftht round us, or we can make it the other place, as many do. I see no anger in God's dealings with ns. He has given us this beautiful world. It is the most boundless love day after day but we are slow to learn the lesson, and to do by each other and by every living creature even as he is doing for us all the time." niram Blake thought a long while over these words. He had never heard anything like the ideas expressed in them.

One evening, seated on the piazza, the two men quite alone, Hiram sited the case of a woman who took money from her husband's pocket, and asked his friend if he did not think it was taking what did not belong to her. Mr. Dixon inquired into the oase—if she worked without wages—If she received half of the lnoome regularly and, having learned the facts, declared he thought it was a plain case of stealing. Hiram shifted uneasily In his chair. He did not exactly like to have the woman branded in this way, although he had invited the criticism. But Mr. Dixon continued: "Yes, a man that will force his wife to have recourse to suoh extremetles— a wife who is only a toiler, not a sharer in the produots of a home—that man Is a thief of the worst type. For what should he live but to make her happy? Instead of that, he is laying up bitterness for nlmself, and sorrow for all around,him." lilram Blake shifted his weight from one leg to the other. He had not expected this olimax, and he hastily changed the subject. "I have been thinking of buildiDg on to the kitchen, and putting more windows in. My wife always said it was too small and dark. What do you think?"' he asked. "I should build a new house, and move this one away, If I owned it, and could afford it." "1 hadn't thought of that but I guess I could do it."

Hiram took so kindly to this view of the situation that the next time Paul •ame home and,told his father he had heard his Aunt Ruby say his mother was never coming to this house again, Hiram only rubbed his hanjls and said, cheerily: "She's right, I^aul your mother never will."

He had an architect to draw the plans, and Mr. Dixon gave many suggestions. In time the house was finished and furnished, even to a row of plants In the broad bay window. The old housekeeper knew the names of some favorites, and even contributed a few herself, with much pride. At last, Peter, harnessed to a low, easy carriage, was sent for the long absent wife. Little Paul was the driver, and could scarcely contain his excitement. His father had cautioned him to say nothing about the new house, for he had planned a surprise. Paul began to tell about the horse. "It's yours, mother, your own. No one else can drive Poter unles you say so. Isn't he fat? And the new carriage is all yours. Isn't it soft and springy?"

Mrs. Blake could hardly believe her eyes. Of course sl»e had heard something about the new building, but that anything so fine had been prepared for her, it would have taken

fand

reat faith Indeed to believe. Her husfollowed her from room to room with a delighted face. Quite tired out with going over the house, she sat down In the spacious living room before the plants, one mass of bloom and fragrance. "Some of them were Mr. Dixon's gift to you, and this is* mine," he said, putting Into her hand a deed of the place, and a bank book made out in her name, with a oash account of several thousand dollars. "It is heaven on earth, Hiraml"

Those words pgainl At last he felt he had done something to dq of them. -W. A. P. Neal, In •Journal.

The electrical force of the human body, a* the nerve fluid may be termed, la an especially attractive department of science, as It exerts so marked an influence on the health of the organs ot the body. Nerve force la produced by the brain and conveyed by means of the nerves to the various organs of the body, tbussupplylng the latterjrith Hi# vitality necessary to iusure their health. Tho pneumogastrlc nerve, as shown here, may be said to be the most important of the entire nerve system, as it supplies the heart, lungs, stomach, bowels, etc., with the nerve force necessary to keep them active and healthy. As will be seen by the cut the long nerve descending from the base ot the brala and terminating in the bowels Is tbe pneumogastrlc, wbile the numerous lit-| tie branches supply thi heart, lungs and stomach with necessary Tl tallty. When the brain becomes in any way disordered by Irritability or exhaustion, the nerve force which It supplies is lessened, and the organs receiving the dlupply are conweakened.
