THE Journal this morning comw out squarely for Tilden and HendricJcs. it would have done so sooner but the editor has had a sore thumb.

IT was Senator Morton who once likened the Democratic party to a man riding backward in a railroad car, who sees nothing which he has not passed.

THE nomination of Tilden and Hendricks isjgenerally conceded to be a very strong one. In fact it is hard to see hdtor it could have been made stronger.

IT is now intimated that Don Carlos is in Mexico organizing a force for the invasion of Cuba. The story Is that Don Carlos expects to be., supported in the island by the partisans of fcuban independent*, the clergy and the basques of all degrees and callings scattered through the oolony. "What a pitiable •pctaele," exclaims LA Epoca, "would be that of a pretender stirring np anew civil war from the mother-country, and himself with seoedere to augment the chances of wresting Cuba away from the body of Spain I"

THE Indianapolis Journal says, "We are able 11 state, upon direct and indisputable authority, that an agreement was entered Into at St. Lou's between the Indiana delegation and leading members of nearly all the other delega? tions, that if Governor Hendricks would accept the nomination for Vice President now and make the race, there should be no ofpodtkm in the Democratic party to his nomination for President four years henoe, provided he hi alive at that time. This agreement to be held good whether the Democrats are successful this year or not."

THE campaign in this State will be opened by the Republicana between the fifteenth and twentieth of the present month. Senator Morton has accepted an invitation to "sound the key note," but owing to the uncertainty regarding the Belknap trial, has not yet fixed on the exact date.

IN answer to a resolution of the Senate, the Secretary of the Treasury has made a report showing the balances due the Government from public officers sinoe 1836.

THE committe appointed by the late advisory council of Plymouth church to select a commission for the investiga tion of the charges or evidence in the case of Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, have chosen as such commission Judge W Shipman, of Connecticut the Hon. A Finch, of Wisconsin Judge S. B. Gookinn, of Terre Ha?te, Indiana the Hon, Jonathan E. Sargent, of New Hamp shire, arid Judge Jos. C. Kpapp, of Iowa

IN his speech at the opening of the convention, Mr. Henry Watterson, tem porary chairman, apostrophized the spirits of Andrew Jackson and Silas Wright, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster, whose political descendants meet together on common ground at last to save, the government of their fathers, etc. Says the Indianapolis Journal

Watterson never exhibited his cheek to better advantage than in introducing the respected ghosts ef Clay and Web ster to a Democratic convention. Fancy the disembodied spirit of Henry Clay doing the arm-in-arm business with that of Andrew Jackson, and bowing obsequiously before the grand presence of John Morrissey and Boss Kelly Shades of the fathers 1"

THE Democratic Convention met at St. Louis on Tuesday. On Wednesday after a noisy fight between the hard money men and the greenbackers, a hard money platform was adopted by a vote of 651 yeas to 83 nays. After this, candidates were placed in nomination. The first ballot stood, Tilden, 417% Hendricks, 140J4 Hancock, 75 Bayard, 38 Parker, 18 Broadhead, 19, and Allen, 56. Necessary to a choice, 492.

The second ballot stood, Tilden, 534 Hendricks, 60 Hancock, 59 Allen, 54 Parker, 18 Bayard, 11 Thurman, 2. The nomination of Samuel J. Tilden was then made jananimous.

On Thursday, Governor Thomas A. Hendricks was nominated for Vice President, the vote being unanimous.

The platform is very lengthy, being chiefly made up of denunciations of the Republican party. It is unequivocally "fiard money," and contains four separate and distinct resolutions favoring or recognizing the necessity of immediate resumption with but a single sentence demanding the repeal of the resumption clause of the act of 1875, and that beeaxwe it is a kindrancB to speedy resumption

The Democratic feeling here was apparently, at first, very much outraged, but the resentment lasted but a few hours. The general feeling how is to accept the nomination and the platform as forgone necessities and make the best ofthem.

AN open letter from Judge S. B. Gookins, of this city, to Hon. Rutherford B. Hayes, has been published. It is good wholesome reading and oontains some excellent advice, though it will hardly be popular with tho politicians—aspecially this paragraph

Mr. Hayes, when you are elected president of tne United States, as I hope and trust you will be, your first duty will be to form a cabinet. I hope it may not -seem presumptuous in me to suggest this course Appoint two good, sterling, honest, capable, upright Dnnoira's members of your cabinet. They can be found. There is no trouble about that.

And when you are called upon to fill other places of tryst, be governed by this rule, and this only—appoint the best man, without regard to race, color,

or

previous condition of party servitude. Discard all office brokers, male or female. When you want local information frem a member of Congress ask it. Let him understand that bis duties pertain to the legislative department of the government, and yours to the executive. When that example has been once set no one will dure to depart from it and we shall once more liave, under the good providence of God, a pure republican government.

TERRE TTAUTE bAlURDAY EVENING MAIL.

THE twenty-two presidential terms which have elapsed slnoe the organization of the Federal Government comprise the hlstoiy of eighteen administrations. Of these eighteen Presidents of the United States, fifteen were elected by the people. The remaining throeTyler, Fillmore, and Johnson—held the seoond places respectively In the sdminlstrations of General Harrison, General Taylor, and Abraham Lincoln, and succeeded to the office of President upon their demise.

The States which have given us one of the eighteen presidents are nine of them Northern and three Southern. Virginia has furnished five of them, Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and Tyler Tennessee gave us three, Jackson, Polk, and Johneon Massachusetts has hsd two, John Ad&ms and John Quincy Adams New York two, Van Buren and Fillmore New Hampshire gave one, Pierce Pennsylvania, Buohanan Lou isiana, Taylor Ohio, Harrison and Illinois sent forth Lincoln and Grant.

To this period the Chief Magistrates of the Union have been impartially divided between the North and 8outh, John Adams, John Q. Adams Van Buren, Harrison, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln, and Grant having been elected from Northern States, and Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Tyler, Taylor, and Johnson having come from below Mason and Dixon's line.

THE Cincinnati Times tells of anew apparatus for killing people that has just, been invented in San Francisco. Its owners claim for it the lofty distinction of being the most deadly contrivance yet made. It is briefly described as "a mitrailleur, shooting eight hundred bullets a thousand yards a minute." Such a death-dealing instrument as this is, without doubt, superior to any other in existence. By its aid a small force would bfi equal to a large one without it. Give that small force a well-con-structed fort, and it could hold at bay the largest army that could bo brought against it. Supply two armies of equal size with it, and the only question would be which would have the most nerve, which could stand tbe longest while the work of killing was in progress. If this new contrivance is brought to the degree of perfection ascribed to it by the enthusiastic San Francisco press, Prof. Monroe will have received valuable aid in making up his list of reasons in behalf of international tribunals. When war becomes so destructive that no nation can afford to engage in it, the days of war are over and swords may bo abandoned, and the reign of the plowshare inaugurated." Tne circle will become complete, and the two extremes, peace and violence, no bloodshed and the greatest amount of bloodshed, will pass into each other. For the sake of Professor Monroe's forthcoming report, for the sake of the International Peace Association, it is to be hoped that the San Francisco apparatus will turn out to possess more reality than the Keely motor.

THE first Fourth of July celebration was in Philadelphia, in 1787. Tbe young Congress was in session there, and a resolution was adopted to adjourn over the anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and have a dinner. On the morning of the Fourth they went on board a frigate in the harbor and a salute was fired. John Adams described the proceedings in a letter to his daughter. "When we returned to the landing," says his acoount, "we were saluted with three cheers froip every ship, galley, and boat in tbe river. The wharves and shores were lined with a vast con' course of people, all shouting and huzzaing in a manner which gave great joy to every friend to this country, and the utmost terror and dismay to every lurking Tory. The Congressional dinner was at the City Tavern. Volleys were fired between every toast by a company of soldiers drawn up before the tavern. Music was furnished by a band of Hessians captured at Trenton. Detachments of troops on their way to camp were paraded and reviewed on the common. In tbe evening I was walking about the streets for a little fresh air ana exercteo, and was surpnsed to find the whole city lighting up their candles at the windows. I walked most of the evening and I think it was the most splendid illumination I ever paw. A few surly houses were dark, but the lights were very universal, considering the lateness of the design and the suddenness of the execution. I was amazed at the universal joy and alacrity that were discovered, and ftt the brilliancy and splendor of eveiy part of the joyful exhibition. I bad forgot the ringing of bells all day and evening, and the borflresin the streets, and the fire-works

BEAUTY IN THE SURF AT LONG BRANCH. {Letter to the World.]

Women do bathe. I have seen them. But icnir nous) I don't believe they ever do, in the sea at least, unless there is provision made for spectators.

Why, the girl of my heart, tho bouneIngest belle of West End, never has the faintest desire to go into the surf unless there is a goodly array of people on the bluff. And then—and then—knowing, while she pretends to despise It, that beauty unadorned, and so forth—she comes out In a ravishing bathiea suit that shames the devices, the paas, tbe curves, the outlines of art. fi tne Venus of Mllo shame a candy doiL

The subjects of tbe lecturers fur the coming winter have been announced by tbe American Literary Bureau, Cooper Institute, as follows:

Theodore Tilton will dismiss "The Mind and How to Use It," and the "Problem of Life." Mr. Tilton lectured two hundred and seventeen times last winter.

Mr. Peecber had seven hundred Invitations, but only lectured thirty-five times.

Professor Davfd Swing, of Chicago, will tslk about "Heroism in Common Life," snd "Elements of Power."

Wendell Phillips will tell of the

MLoet

Arts," "John Brown," and "Street life In Europe." He will not go out of New England.

James M. Bailey, (The Danbury News Msn), will reed from his "Life in Danbury." He has never appeared in pub? lie. His first appearance will be in Danbury.

Bret Harto is now busy on his plsy for the Union Square Theater. He will be in the field in November, with the "Argonauts of '49," "Progress of Amer lean Humor," and readings from his own works.

EH Perkins" (Melville D. Landon) lectured one hundred and twenty-seven times last winter. He has prepared a new lecture, tbe "Philosophy of Fun," in which he ill produce laughter and show philosophically bow it is don -analyze It. Mr. Perkins' old lecture "The Perkins Family," iu which they say the humorist produces one hundred laughs in sixty minutes, has been partly rewiltten. Mr. P. takes the field in November. His next literary work will be a novel af 3r that a play.

Mark Twain will not lecture, but will read a limited number of nights from his published works. He will tell his whistling steiy end describe "Buck Fanshaw's Funeral."

Anna Dickinson will confine herself strictly to the Btage, appearing in New York in the autumn, and .western cities during the winter.

Thomas Nast will stick to cartoons. He has such a dislike to the platform that nothing will induce him to take It again. He can draw big houses, but he chooses to draw them on paper.

John G. Saxe, the poetical humorist, is now lying seriously ill at his residence, No. 28 First Place, Brooklyn, and will probably not take tbe lecture field next winter. The poet thinks he is going to die, but his wife says that he had a similar attack years ago, in Albany, and recovered. It is to be hoped he will again get better.

Mrs. Scott-Siddons is in Australia. She will not return to tbe United States till late in the autumn. She has not yet informed the bureau whether she will read or not. Her place will be taken by .Dr. J.VJ. Villers and Helen Potter. J*

Bayard Taylor is waiting editorials for the Tribune. His lecture subjects this winter will be "Schiller," and "Ancient Egypt." He will make one western trip.

Dr. Jay J. Villers, the popular reader, will have three lectures, "Funny People Wo Meet," "Humorists: Past and Present," and "Eccentric Characters." In bis readings he will personate John B. Gough, "Mark Twain," "Eli Perkins," "Josh Billings," "Artemus Ward," Dickens, Sol. Smith Russell, and many others.

M. D. Conway is presiding over bis little church In London, and will not return to this country for two years.

Paul du Challlu will talk about "Among the Cannibals," "The Dwarf Country," "Lost in a Jungle," and "The Great North." He is writing a new book, which will be out in November. ''Grace Greenwood" will remain in Europe, from which 'place she is now contributing a charming seiies of letters to the New York Times.

General Judson Kilpatrick, the impetuous cavaliyman, will deliver his "March to the Sea," and a new lecture, "The Growth of a Century.'1

Petroleum V. Nasby" (D. R. Locke) will tell us about "Betsy Jane." It seems that the humorists have the most calls in the lecture field. They almost invariably draw the largest houses.

This

year the public will have a chance to hear all of them:."Mark Twain," "Eli Perkins," "Joph Billings," De.Cordova, Mr. Bailey, and "Petroleum V. Nasby." The Detroit Free Press man will not lectye this autumn. He is held in Detroit this winter by a contract on the Free Press.

John B. Gough lectured one hundred and thirty times last winter. His new lecture, "Blunders," will run again this year. Mr. Gough's puces are ifom ?200 to ^250. He Is, perhaps, the highest priced lecturer ia the field, except Mr. Beecher, who usually receives $300, sometimes C00 and as high as"fl,000 has occasionally been paid him for one evening.

The general fees of lectureri are about as follows: Bayard Taylor, fl°i Bret Harte, 8125 "Ell PerL'ns," $100: Mrs. Scott-Siddons, |150 Theodore Tilton, $150 Carl Schnrz, f200 Nasby, $100 Mrs. Iivermore, $100 Susair B. Aiftbony,i$60 Anna Eliza Young, $100 "Mark Twain," $200 Elizabeth Cady Stanton, $75 L'lllan Edgarton, $75 Dr. J. J. Villers, $75 and Nast, $150.

THE president has pardoned P. C, Eb-.

Harrison Miller, John E. Phillips, Hiram B. Snyder, Alired M. McGriff and Wm. Mum ford, of the Evansville whisky ring, upon recommendation of Judge Greaham and District Attorney Truasler. These men have served five months' Imprisonment, and comprise all tbe ring save B!Pgham and Captain Hill.

What a Daring Qtrl Bought at the Cfenttmttial. -"r [From the Philadelphia Correspondence

San Francisco Chronicle.]

E-o/pt furnishes an illustration of her, own sombre architecture. There were.,, many plaster casts of Egyptian sculp-' ture, queer brass ornaments, old armor, unfamiliar Eastern products. The sentimental effect was marred, however, by the cards of prices sfflxed to many articles. A still greater departure of my mind from retrospective thoughts was caused by what I saw in one of the glass cases. The article to which I allude is labeled, "Night Shirt—prioe, $70 —Sold to Miss Ordway." The privilege of selling any article on exhibition is aocordedoy the managers, the only re* striction being that a delivery to the purchaser cannot be made before the olose of the show and that the regular duty must be paid.

Miss Ordway's night shirt is beautiiul, peculiar and open to objection for use in this changeable climate. The texture is like a wen, so slight that it will interpose no barrier to sight or cold. Musketoes will reach between tbe threads and bite Miss Ord way if they are not too polite. Every breeze will blow upon her body uncheoked. Hand-worked upon the gossamer fabric are fanciful figures in

Seythread,andlittlefoundation

erson

the so slight

look at a distance as though entirely unsupported. Miss Ordwav. when arrayed in this night shirt, will depend largely upon herself for the beauty of the effect. The cloth will not cover her more tlfickly than a veil, and the embroidery will seem to rest upon her flesh. She will have old leaves and vines on her back, a cluster on each shoulder, another on ber breast, and vines will trail down her arms. Tne effect will be at least unique. In the subdued light of her sleeping room—clad only, to all the Intents and purposes of appearance, In a -few gold leaves and vines—she will depend for beauty, as I remarked before, entirely upen herself.

Come down to a practical consideration, I wish to record my prediction that she will catch cold. The garment is unsuited to any but Cleopatra's scorching clime. It will cost, with tbe duty, about $100, and is short for the price, it must hang in the case until October, to be. admired by thousands of women. Miee Lillius Ordway, I learn by inquiry, is a beautiful and eccentric girl of Reading, Penn., who has been here since the opening of the Exhibition. She is described to me as tall, dark, about twenty years old, and the possessor of a fine figure. Her father is a dry goods merchant, Challis K. Ordway, and she is engaged to be married about next holiday time. As she lounged through the Main Building she saw the Egyptian nightshirt, expressed her admiration, and bought it. v.

TWO CLASSES OF CONVERTERS* Around and above all other distinctions, there are two great classes of conveners those who make you feel that you are of some account in the world, and those who have a subtle way of convincing you that you have no right te exibt. The latter class is small in number but what they lack in quantity they make up in sting. Sometimes they are gifted with a sharp tongue anctan unerring faculty of saying the most grinding things. Sometimes thev aro apparently suave and considerate in manner and phrase. But, in either case,' you go away from them with a l'eelingr that the world is stuffed with saw dust, —that you yourself are an imbecile and an impostor. It may take days for youto recover your proper standing with

1

yourself. Then, if you ask your soulwha: fata] gift has tne tormentor, which carries with it this power of making his fellow-mortals miserable, you discover that it is the gilt of selfishness. Tho

to whom you have been talking ungenerous. A gen*rous man, a generous woman—you cannot come near such an one without receiving something that makes amends for your own disappointment with, your own ill opinion of, yourself. An ungenerous person adds the weight of another to your side of the scales, and down you go J—[The Old Cabinet Scribner for July.

vl GROCER'S TRICK. [Detroit Free Press.]

The other day a Grand River avenifef grocer purchased a thirty-pound crock, of butter of a farmer whom ne had never1 dealt with before, and while down cellar emptying the crock he thought of a trick to surprise the agriculturist. Finding a stone that weighed about eight pounds, the grocer greased it. carriecf it up-stairs with the crock, and, pointingto it, quietly remarked:

This, or course, is to be taken from the gross weight, as well as the jar." The farmtr looked at the stone for1 several long seconds, and then in a voice so low that no one else could hear,, replied:

Please klver a p^ece of paper over the jar, for there's a man out by tho do6f •. who knows me." •The grocer finally explained his fiend*ish plot, and tte butter-seller's face underwent a sonden change. Reaching,4 over the sugar-barrels to shake hands,£ he setd: "I didn't hardly believe it, though,^ my wile came from a tricky family, and? I should have gone home and organized? mourning and lamentation in that farmhouse." _____________

PUSH."

"HSis simple little word of four letters oontains a world of wisdom. Push means business, energy..and goalieadativeness. It means strict sttention to business, let that business be whatever It may! It does not mean crowding and jostling, and unfair advantage taken of your fellow being, but it raeans^ wideawake looking after every opportunity to better yourself in an honorable,, W&V»

The boy or fcirl who has push in them is bound to sucoeed. Fortune smiles on such, for they do not loiter on the way, but keep tnelr eyes steadily on the goal, push on.

And do not forget to push on in the better way, so that when life is almost over, you will be found still in the upward waypushing on to the better land.
