It is said that some delegates at the Republican State convention approached one of I lie candidates for the Appellate Judge with an offer to vote for him for a money consideration. They were promptly and severly rebuked by the venerable judge. There are reasons to believe that they went to other candidates with the same proposition. If they are not grossly ignorant, their brazenness is simply astonishing. It is bad enough for men in closed rooms or secret places to talk about selling their votes, but when they go into a thronged hotel with hundreds of men circulating around them, and boldly ask pay for their votes in a convention is absolutely astonishing. Then think of them approaching a dignified and eminent jurist.
The case is doubly offensive. In these times of reform and prosecution of the guilty among the high and the low, it would seem that there would be some check upon selling votes but here is a record-breaking case occurring almost within sight •of Governor Hanly who is mak ing a record as an official reformer. It would be good thing if he could make an example of the young men who wanted to sell their votes in the convention
We never have heard so many protests against the roadscraper as are being made this year. One Greenfield man who travels over the roads a great deal, said today that he believed that a man who would scrape the sod and rocks off a road into the middle of the highway and leave them there should be arrested. He also complains of the common practice of leaving a basin on the edge of the grade

HAKRISBUHG, III.,
I5elieving that '-ZEMO" saved my arms, if not my life, I -will gladly tell all
sufferers lrom eczema v.'hat. your good medicine did for me. 1 suffered six years from a torturing case of itching eczema of both arms. I tried eight different doctors, and every eczema cure I could hear of without relief. The disease grew worse and spread to my neck and breast my arms had great holes eaten in them 1 soon became an invalid and was confined to my bed part of the time. My husband bougtita bottle of "ZEMO": the first application stopped the itching, and I began to improve in six weeks and one day the disease had disappeared, and my arms were clean and smooth as my picture will show, before and after using'"ZEMO." My arms were so bad some of mv friends wanted me to have them taken off, but 1 would not agree. I am now entirely cured and have gained ten pounds in weight, and feel better than I have felt in many years. I consider ny quick recovery by using
"ZBMO"
short of miracle. I will gladly answer all

The Hon. J. Adam Bede says senators would be honest if the government paid them larger salaries. That is an interesting bit of information He should speak to them and ask them "right out" how much they would take to be honest.

Doubtless we shall hear later that Castro has resigned, to take the "general management" of the earth.

'V- Two Curious Kisivos.
"When Sheffield first became famous for its cutlery a peculiarly knife, designed for a variety of uses, was made with great care and sent to the
agent
the Cutler's company in
London. On one of the blades was engraved the following challenge: London, for thy life,
Show me such another ftrilfe.
The London cutlers, to show fhn* they were equal to their Sheffield brothers, made a knife with a singlt well tempered blade, the blade having a cavity containing a rye straw two and a half iuches in length, wL-o/ly surrounded by the steel yet, notwithstanding the fact that the blade was well tempered, the straw was not burned, singed or charred in the least! It i: needless to add that the Sheffield cutters acknowledged themselves outdon» In ingenuity. $
New Caledonia.
Until 1853 New Caledonia was a sort of no man's land. Then both England and France decided to annex it, and orders came to two warships to proceed thither at once. They started the same day. The English captain had heard of the reefs that surround the island, and he was cautious. The Frenchman went ahead without regard for the reefs. When the British captain arrived he saw the tricolor hying from a hill, and he was invited to come in and lunch on French soil.
The Mexican Letter Writer..
As many of the lower classes in the City of Mexico can neither read nor write, the Mexican letter writer does a thriving business. He writes letters of all kinds—love letters, begging letters—it matters little to him, so that he is paid for his work These men are found in the Plaza of Santo Domingo, a sort of market place, where secondhand articles are for sale.
Notliins Wrong: on Hist Side.
The man had been grumbling steadily for half an hour to his seat mate, whom he had never seen before. He had grumbled about business, politics, war, peace, vacations, church, children, railroads, schools, farms, newspapers and that unfailing scapegoat—the weather.
The man beside him had borne all that seemed necessary and at last bethought him of a way to silence the grumbler, if such a thing was possible. "Are your domestic relations agree able?" he asked suddenly, turning an Inquisitive gaze on his companion. 'Tea, they are!" snapped the grumbler. "It's my wife's relations thai •ake all tfae trouble."
SOLON OF ATHENS.
Hi* Deflnition of the Most PeriaH Form of Government.
"What is the most perfect form of government?" was once propounded at the court of Periander, king of Corinth. one of the seven wise men ol Greece. His six fellows were present, and of them Bias answered first, giving as his opinion, "Where the laws fcave no superior." Thales of Miletus, the great astronomer, declared, "Where the people are neither too rich nor too poor."
In his turn said Anacharsis, the Scythian, "Where virtue is honored and vice detested." Said Pittacus of Mitylene, "Where dignities are always conferred upon the virtuous and never upon the base." Said Cleobulus, "Where the citizens fear .blame mere than punishment." Said Chilo, the Spartan, "Where the laws arc more regarded than the orators."
The last to reply was the youngest but wisest of them all, Solon of Athens, who said, "Where an injury done to the meanest subject is an insult to the whole community."-—London Telegraph.
Jcalonn of Imtjjslnary 111* "Talk of a woman's jealousy of he: husband." said a physician of long experience in New York. "It is nothing compared to her jealousy of another woman's chronic ailments. Half the doctors would starve if it were not for the prevalence of illnesses that are purely imaginary. Of course, il does not do for us to tell a woman who has firmly made up her mind that she is ill that she is not ill. In nine cases out of ten she would lose her temper and consult another doctor. Among certain women invalidism gives them a distinction which fa gratifying to their self love. They may literally be said to 'enjoy poor health.' They look for the doctor's visit to theqa or their call at his office as the most, exciting e\ent of the day. If hey know him well enough, they implore him to waive professional etiquette and tell them about ailments of other women who consult him. Women of this description—and they are legion—have a craving for martyrdom, which doctoring an imaginary illness seems to satisfv."—New "i ork Times.
The One Person.
'There was a certain old New England minister who had a blunt way of getting right at the bottom of things. With a solemn air he announced from the pulpit one day that a button had been found iu the collection. "Only one individual In the church could have been guilty of this trick," lie said, "and I shall expect this person to replace the button with a coin." After service a member of the church owned up to being the culprit and asked: "HOT did you know I was the man?"
,lI
did
not know." said the clergyman. "But 7ou said only one person could have done it." ''Just so," was tlie reply. "Two persons could not have put tlw same button on the plate."
The Abnse of Salt.
How easy it is to get too much of a good thing! Salt, one of the most absolute necessities of life when taken ir email quantities, may by incessant injudicious use become a violent poison. Before the German sailors were enforced by law to eat sauerkraut once a day to counteract the effect of salt foods the death rate among them was enormous.
An anecdote is told of an Indian medicine man who experimented with salt upon his wife. From the day of their wedding he allowed her to eat nothing but salt meat and highly salted vegetables, while he ate a great deal of pepper. Before the year was out his wife pined and died, while he was still enjoying the best of health. Little daunted at what might be a coincidence, he married again and continued the salt experiment on squaw No. 2. When she died, 'after a corresponding length of time, he was convinced that highly salted food was not a healthful diet. Continuing the use of pepper, he lived to be the oldest man of the tribe
IRONCLAD VESSELS.
The First Ones Seem to Have Wtee Built by France In 1855.
The idea of protecting ships by meant of armor appears to have originated In the United States, but the French were the first to adopt it. Five floating batteries were constructed in France with oak sides eight inches thick, protected by armor four and three-eighths Inches thick. In March, 1S53, the first of these, the Tonnante, mounting sixteen guns, was launched at Brest, and the other four were all launched in the same year. These vessels were first used at the bombardment of Kinburn In the Black sea on the 17th October, 1855. Two English vessels—the Erebus and Terror—were at once built on similar lines, but did not arrive at Kinburn till the 24th of October, too late to take part in the bombardment.
The results of this experiment were so satisfactory that the French government fitted a wooden frigate, then building, with armor of the same thickness, and in November, 1859, the first ironclad frigate, La Gloire, of 5,000 tons displacement and 800 horsepower, was launched.—Pearson's Weekly.
Wlien We Did Not Care For Japan.
When the first embassy from Japan aiTived in Washington a member of the senate rose and said: "Mr. President, the first ambassadors from the venerable country of Japan are about to arrive. I move the senate do now adjourn to meet and welcome the Japanese." Immediately another senator was on his feet, not to second the motion, but to say sharply, "Mr. President, I humbly trust the senate of the United States of America will not adjourn for every show that comes along." That settled it —From Mrs. Roger A. Pryor'i "Reminiscences."
