She was a candidate for rcnomination at the Republican convention, which convened a few days ago, and the El Paso Journal gives the fo' lowing account of how Enoch presented her to the delegates: When Enoch Emery arose in the Peoria county Republican c mveniion to nominate the candidate for county superintendent of schools, there came a sudden lull in the proceedings. Every one became interested, and the delegates leaning forward in breath less attention. One could have heird a hoare cough in the awful stillness.

' "Oh," said the diner, "You have lobsters in Ireland?'' "Is it lobsters! Berorra.. the creeks nrc fail of 'em. Many a tlnre have I ssert 'em when I've lepped o er the sthrnmes." "How large do the lobsters grow in Ireland?" "Well," said Mike, thoughfully, "To sphake within bounds, surr, I'd say n matter of five or six feet." "What! five or six feet; how do thpy get around in those creeks?" "Bedad. sur' the creeks in Ireland are fifty or sixty feet wide," said the unabashed Mike. "But," said the persistent inquirer, "you said you had seen them when you were leaping over the stream?) and lobsters here live in thf sea." t "Deed, I did, surr: we're powerful leppers in Ireland. As fur the say. surr, I've seen it red wid 'em." - "But look here my tine fellow," said the guest, thinking he had cornered the Hibernian, at last, "lobsters are not red until they are boiled." "Doan't I know that?" said Mike, reproachfully, "but there are bilin' springs in theould counthry, an' they shwim throo 'em an' come out ready fur ye to crack open an ale," and Mike walked calmly off to wait upon the next guest, leaving his interlocutor to digest the lobster and the story. .4 YOilnr K;alc niurdercrt In Cold niood. Last Sunday afternoon, wiiile out hunting, three colored men, named Albert Sanders, Harry Gordon and Jo Massey, came upon the remains of an infant lying near a tree in Dr. Mantle's pas ture, this side of the brick kiln on the upper Petersburg road. Traces of blood upon the tree and fearful bruises on the face and neck of the infant, indicated that it had been killed by beating it against the tree. The child was neatly dress ed in n long white dresshad on a light flannel underkirtjblue stock ings, and a rlo.tk and hood com bined, of steel grey color, trimmed in blue. Coroner Ilellert sum moned a jury Sunday evening, who found Hint the child had bean murdered by a party or parties un known to them. It is supposed that the clothing had been stolen, and if any one can throw any light on the subject, they should at once report to the authorities to aid them in obtaining soma clua to tho infamous peri ?trator of this cruel outre e.

Arr about the grave, that now holds the remains of a man who died penniless inn etrange land, .but had the name one time of having wen nearly half n million ' dollars at three enrd nionte. His body was brought to the undertaker's room, in this city, nnd thence taken to tho cemetery where a dozen or more represent;v tives of the sporting fraternity of Reading had congregated about the grave to do the last lienors for the "old sport" who had won mon ey on nearly every railroad in the United States east of the Rocky mountains. After the hearse approached the the grave and the walnut coQn had been taken out and placed on a bier, the question Was asked whether the remains vere in it. The undertaker guessed that they were still there. "Unscrew the lid," the master of ceremonies ordered. "Bill was in many a tight box and he worked himself out somehow or other, and it's no dea'd sure thing that he ain't got out on the trip to the cemetery." While they were taking off the lid it whs noticed thnt the screws were not solid silver. One of the mourners remarked that Bill's game had not been one of the squarest, but he guessed there were tricks in all trades as well as the monte players. The Corpse was found in the coCin. The men had made ar rangements with one of their acquaintances to read a prayer or a short burial service at the grave, but he came? not. The wind was raw and chilly, and after the lid had been sere we 1 on again, ordefs were given that the interment should be m tde. Canada Bill's proper name was William Jones. Fie was an English Gypssy and came to this country seventeen years ago. lie was a horse trader and finally began to play at three card monte.' He drifted into Kingston, Canada, where he got the name of Canada Bill. He operated all over the north during the war, and aftei the war closed he was on the Red Itiver and on the Mississippi. He was a I trrtys dressed in a very slouchy manner, and cared nothing for good clothes or jewelry of any kind. . He won thousands .. if dollars on the Mississippi, in the di-guise of a planter. At oris time he hud a livery stable, and kept 00 negroes at work clearing swamp land, at the mouth of the Red River. Subsequently he operated at monte on tho Kansas PaciSe and Union Pacific railroads running out from K.an;?-,:3 City and Omaha. lie became infamously known all over the country.

By and by his wife died and the property reverted to their daughter. Man took a new", wife with whom the daughter did not agree. Result, the daughter ejected father and stepmother, and now rules supreme in the home of her ancestors, and the man who got ahead of his creditors has to work forhb living. . It may be of Interest to know what laboring men and servant girls receive in New York. The Castle Garden labor exchange last month provided 803 immigrants with employment, 430 being men and 473 women. The male applicants included 117 mechanics, for whom there wa,s a strong demand. The average wages for farm laborers was t-B a month, with board, and for day laborers fl 2 a day. The women mainly employed as servants in this city receive $3 50 a month mid board. Tho toUacco tradd of' Frntref which is entirely in the handset the government, has reached such dimensions ns to necessitate the erection of 10 large factories. The way in which this industry came under governmental control constitutes an amusing' incident in history. In 1310 Napoleon noticed that a certain" lady wore inagniU cent diamonds. Inquiring about her, he learned that she was the wife of a tobacco manufacturer. In the following autumn a decree v;u promulgated making the entire trade a state monopoly.
