National Republican committee, called the presidential convention at Chicago to order, and called upon the Kcv. Dr. Kittredge, ol Chicago, who opened ihe proooedings with prayer. At the leanest ol Mr. Cameron, Secretary Keogh rend the cail for the conven* lion. Mr. Cameron then addressed th< assembly, raying he hoped that whatever bitterness liad been manuesieu iu uukhjui tactions ol the country would now disappear; that there should !>.? a determination to place in nomination "the strongest possible candidates? men strong in themselves, strong in the confidence and affections of the people, and men who will command the respect ol the civilized world." Concluding, he said: "When the nominations are made and the convention has completed iu? work, let there be but one sentiment animating all earnest, sincere and unselfish Republicans, and let that be that each shall vie with ti.e other in carrying our grand old party to victory." Mr. Cameron then announced that he had been instructed by the national committee to put in nomination for temporary ohairman, Senator Gooree F. Hoar, of Massachusetts. The nomination was unanimously ratified, and Messrs. Davis, ol Texas; Frye, ot Maine, and Raum, ol Illinois, were appointed a committee to conduct him to the chair. Senator Iloar, upon taking the platform, mado a speech attacking the Democratic party and declaring that "the Rfpublican party lives that every man within our bordors may dwell sccure 111 h nappy nome, may um i and have counted liis equal vote, may send his child at the public chargo to a lieo bohool. Until theie things co:ne to pass, lrotn tho Atlantic t> tho Pacific, Irom Canada to tho Gulf, the mission ot our party is not accomplice). nor its wmfaro with its ancient adversary ended." Juhn II li'berts, ot Illinois, and U. I.- McGee, ol I'ennsylvai ia, were then appointed temporary secretaries; and Chns. W. Clisby, ot Alabama. and ./ C. Broadwe'l, <>i Missouri, reading clerk*. Kugene Davis, ot New York, was appointed tho ofiici'il stenographer. Upon motion ol Engeuo Hale the roll ol Stiles was calkd and committees?one delegate Irom each Stale and Territory on each committee?on permanent organization, on rules and order ol business, on credentials a -.d on resolutions, were appointed. Utah had been omitted Irom tho roll-call, and was added theretJ (Mr. Conkling at first objecting and afterward withdrawing his objection) upon Mr. Frye's HfniAmpnt that the secretary ol the national commitu o had said thfl ommim-ion was a mistake. Alabama and Arkansas i^&ve notice of o ntcsta, Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, gavo notice ot a contest in ten districts of Illinois. Mr. Warmouth gave notice of a contest in Louisiana; contests were also announced in i Pennsylvania and U tah; in tbe last named by Mr. Conkling, by request. Senator Logan / movod that instructions be given to the committee on tickets ot admission to iuue 500 tickets daily to the Veteran association. He aid that justice had been done to the veterans : by oveiy other National Republican conven- I tioD, and why Aould it not be done now and j hero. There wore veteran eoldiers supporting | each of the presidential candidates, so thai there waa.no particular motive in his motion. His motion was seconded by General Kilpat*iok and adopted, and then upon Mr. ConkKng's mot:o'n the convention adjourned until the following day. On the second day, after prayer by Rev. F. A. Noble, ot the Union Park Congregational church, Chicago, the regular proceedings opened by Mr. Conkling's inquiring whether .the committee on contested seat* was ready to repoitThe chairman replied that the committee wfts not ready, and Mr. Conkling then eaid that he understood the committee would not report until late in the alternoon, and as no business could properly be done until it was ready to report, he moved a rece?8-until night. Mr. Conkling declined to "give way a moment to Mr. Hale, 'when that gentleman raised the point ol order that the motion to take a recess was debatable, and his point ol order was sustained by the chair. Mr. Hale then opposed the motion to take a v recess, Baying there was business which could be done by the convention in ad v.woe of the , . report on credentials. Mr. Conkling in reply said that all the work the convention could before live o'clock Was to sit on uncushioh?4 seats. His motion therefore was one of convenience. It was an open secret that - the committee on permanent organization would report in favor of the continuance in the chair of the present presiding officer. It .* ^ 1 would not take Ave minutes to effect tho permanent organization. Mr. Hals, in reply, said that if Mr. Conkling's argument was - ?ound,*and its theory adopted in every legisla> _ tive body, all business being suspended until all questions ol contested seats were settled, " done wonld ever do any business. The motion" to take a recess was rejected, and on . * motion the convention instructed the com- j mittee on permanent organization to report ! at once. Mr. Pierson, of New York, from that committee, stated that its members wero entirely harmonious in their action, and ho was ready to report as tar as they had been able to complete their work. They were not sure,.in advanoe ol action by the committee on contested .seats, whether the names they hud agreed upon from the contested States | wero those ol members of the convention.

A list of ecretaries?one from each State?was also reported, and then Mr. Pieison put tho ques- j twn upon the adoption of the report and de- i clared it carried. Mr. Hoar was then presented j as presiding officer, and in a few words | . thanked the convention. Mr. Frye moved | , < that tho committee on rules and order ot j business bo instructed to repoxt, but withdrew ? * ^ the motion when Mr. Garfield, chairman ol that committee, stated that Mr. Sharpe had ! ? asked permission to make a minority report on | behalt of nine States, to wliioh no objection j had been made. Tnen, alter a passage bo- i ' tweon Messrs. Conkling and Frye, a recess J was taken until evening. At the evening j session Mr. Henderson, ol Iowa, moved that the committee on rules bo requested to j report. General Logan, General Sharpe. Mr. Boutwell, and General Harrison spoke ! ?i!ai:<bl tho oiiginal resolution. General Garfield and Mr. Henderson spoke in lavor ef j it. Mr. Sharpe. of New York, moved as a i sub-titute that the committee on credentials ] bo requested to report also. Mr. Conkling spoke in support ot the aub^titute. Tho roll j whs culled amid great excitement, the vot? I be'114 regarded as a teat ot strength between j tho Grant and the anti-Grant lactions. No | attention.was paid to the unit rulo, each ' < < l<-gate voting lor himself. The substitute [ as beaten by 318 yeas, 406 nays. Tne ! pending motion was then laid on the table, , and tho convention adjourned until tho fol- | owing day. 'lev. Aithur Little, ol the Now Eng'an) U >ngreg .tional church, Chicngo, npen?:d the third day's sossion with prayt-r. Mr. Conk- I ling be^an the wort ol the day by olTsiing a j rcso?-i*i?n that it was the sense ot tho cr>n ! voiilu'it that " every member ot it is bound in honor to s ipport its nominee whoever that nomine e muy b-j. and that no man should | hold his seat here who is not ready so to agree. ' Mr. Hale said ho supposed a It-publican convention did not need to bo instructed that its first duty was to elect its candidate alter naming him; that all have their preteronces, but if Mr. Conkling's candidate were nominated he (Mr. Hale) and his Iriends . would work night and day to elect him, and - il they nbinina'ed their candidate, they would expect Mr. Conkling to work for him night and day. A voto was then taken, and tho re?olution was carried by 71C yeaa to 3 nays-tho latter from West Virginia. Mr. Conkling then ofl'ertd a resolution "that the do?egat??? who have voted that they will not abide by the action of the convention do not deseive to h ive, and have torleitea meir vcues m uw convention." Mr. Campbell, of We?t Virginia, delended hia position, and alter iurtb?r debate Mr. Conkling withdrew hit resolution, saying there seemed to be some doubt. Mr. IJruce (colored) was called temporarily to the obair, and Mr. Garfield, lrom the committee on roles, presented the majority report ol hi< committee on the rules to govern the convention, the most important sectio > being tha: - which forbade' any unit rule. Mr Sharpe p.esenled the miubrity report ot the comtnittec on rules, signed by the delegates from Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentncky, Mm; itoippi, Missouri, ,New York, Tennessee Virginia, Illinois and Colorado, recommend- ! '. ug tho adoption ol the rule regarding the * easting ol votes which prevailed at the convention in 1876. Mr. Conger, irom tho committee on credentials, next presented tho majority report ot that committee in favor ot the contesting delegations from Alabama, I Illinois and Louisiana. Mr. Clayton preieut ?d a minority report in favor ot the sitting members. Mr. Clayton's motion to substitute j the minority report of the committee on ere- I deutials for the majority report was defeated j a'ter debate by a vote ot 449 nays to 306 yeas, j and the majority report was then adopted. . At the eveniog session a remarkable scene ot uproar took place during the debate on the question ot admitting the contesting delegates Itom Illinois. The cheering, as the names ot different candidates for the nomination were ' [ > mentioned was tremendous, spectators ami delegate! alike jumping to their seats, waving bats, canes, umbrellas and flags, and yelling themselves hoarse. At 3 A. x., after longcontinued scenes of tumult and excitement, such as havs never before been witnessed in a convention, the Illinois contesting delegates ware a trained, and tho convention adjourned. Ob the fourth day, after prayer by Rev. John R. Baxter, of Washington, four Grant delegates from Kansas, the Sherman contesting delegates from West Virginia and two Grant delegates from Utah were admitted to seats. A motion by Mr. Sharpe, ol New York, that the convention proceed to ballot lor presidential nominees, was opposed by Mr. Garfield on the ground that the rules for tho government of the convention had not yet been adopted, and that therefore the convention was without a rule prescribing whether tho unit rule or whether ths right ol district representation should prevail. Mr. Sharpo's motion was defeated by 4 79 nays to 276 yeas, when ho moved that the minority report of the commiitee on rnles bo adopted, but this mo tion was also defeated ana tne commuiee s mnjority report was adopted. Mr. Pier-epont, on behalf of tiie committee on resolutions, then presented theplatlorm. Mr. Barker, ot? Massachusetts, moved to amend by adding a plunk declaring in favor ol civil service reform and that office holders should retain their positions as long as thoy behave themselves. The amendment, except that part which related to the tenure ot office, wa* accepted and the platlorm was then adopted, after which the convention took a recess until 7 P. M. At the evening session the new national committee was named, and then upon Mr. Hale's motion a call ol the roll ol Stales in alphabetical order was had for the purpose of making nominations for President. When Michigan was called Mr. Joy, ol the delegation from that State, nominated Jame3 G. Blaine iu a speech which was lrequently ? 1 TU? received with ouitmrsrs 01 appiuuee. mo nomination of Mr. Blaine was seconded l>y Frank M. Pixley, of Calilornia, who was lollowedby Mr. Frye, ol Maine, in a speech in which he referred to the recent election trouble in Mttine and said that during that crisis Mr. Blaine had steered " that graud old ship, the State ot Maine," into a harbor of saiety Mr. Drako, ot Minnesota, nominated Senator William Windom, ot that State. The nomination was not seconded. Whon New l'ork was called Senator Conkling mounted a table on tho reportors' stand and nominated Uiysses S. Grant. During hi9 speech Mr. Conkling pronounced a high eulogium upon the character o: General Grant, saying that he, more surely than any other man, could carry Now York against any opponent; that with him as a leader they would have no defensive campaign, no apologies to make; that his integrity, his common sense and his uncqualed experience in this and foreign lands were the qualities offered his country; that to General Grant more than to any other man was due the lact that every paper dollar wai good as gold, and that his nomination would be the dtath-blow to Democratic success. Mr. Conkling concluded by saying: " Wo bave only to listen above the din and look beyond the dust ol an hour to behold the Republican party advancing to victory with its greatest marshal at ite head.' His speech was concluded amid tumultuous cheers and great excitement, tho Grant dole/ates Irom New York and other States walking in procession through the aisles, bearing a largo 11 ig and a portiait ol the general. Mr. Bra'ley, ol Kentucky, second* d Grant's nomination. When Ohio was called Mr. Garfield advanced to the place just vacated by Mr. Conkling and nominated John Sherman. Mr. Garfield paid a high tributa to Secretary Sherman's financial policy and career as a Republican, and said that he had shown himself "able to meet in the calmuess of statesmanship all the great emergencies ol government." Mr. Sherman's nomination was seconded by Messrs. Winkler, ol Wisconsin, and Elliott (colored), of South Carolina. Vermont being called, Mr. Billing* put in nomination Senator Geor ge F.Edmund*, who, the speaker said, amid applause, was <' a candidate weak nowhere, but strong everywhere." Mr. Edmunds' nomination was seconded by Mr. Sanford, of Massachusetts. Mr. Gassidv, ot Wisconsin, next nominated Eliha B. Washbnrne, ot Illinois. Mr. Brandagee, ol Connecticut, seconded the nomination in a speech which was applauded, and during raid that Mr. WaBhbtirne'B name was th? only one sure ot carrying every doub:ful State.

Some powers I arc deuleil to the nation, while others are denied to the i Stales, but the boundary between the powers delegated and those reserved Is to be determined by the National 1 and imt by the State tribunals. ( Thl?l?The work of popular education Is one left to the care of the several States, but It Is the duty of the ' National government to aid that work to the extent of f Its c- nstituttonal duty. The luto.l|gen?c of the nation is but the aggregate of the Intelligence In the several States, ana the destiny of the nation must be guided not t by the genius of any one State, but by the average genius of all. i\ urth?The Constitution wisely forbids Congress to. make any law respecting an estab.lshment of religion, but it I* Idle to hope th.it the nation can be protected f against the Influence of sectarianism while each State Is exp seil to its domination.

This, with acrobatic dexterity and the ' aid of a long thin Btick, she tossed 1 upcn a large flat piece of iron, a sort of ! frying-pan without side9, and placed it ; j upon the embers. When baked it is j tossed again on to a pile lying beside 1 ! her.

A New York correspondent of the tfolyoke (Mass.) Paper World says: Tbe increased manufacture and adop,ion of paper car wheels is making quite in important addition to the many inlustries in which paper figures as ac :ver-growing and almost unlimited elenent of strength and utility. These ivheels are in much more common use ,ban is generally supposed. They are ised to a greater or less extent (that is lave been generally adopted or are beng given atrial) on nearly all the principal railroads of the country, among ;hem being tnc Boston ana Aioany aim lie Connecticut River roads, the Jattei jf which has used them for the last si> fears. The Pullman Palace Car comaany are putting them under all of theii ,iew cars. The entire equipment of th< Metropoli an Elevated railroad,engines ind cars, are running on paper wheels jo that it can safely be said that the rolling stock of this company (whose stocli lias figured so conspicuously of late ir Wall Btrcct) is having ' a run" wliollj " on paper." It is reported that noton< :>f these paper wheels has as yet giver aut on this road. The wheels are manufactured by the Allen Paper Car Whee company, whose works are at Hudson rhe producing capacity of these works ii ibout fivi? hundred wheels per month ?nd the company are to start additiona works at Chicago next tall, tlie capacity of which will be about double thai oi the Hudson works. Paper car wheels were invented by a practical railroad ::ngineer, and were first put to actuaj use in 1869, since which time many improvements have been made. They arc made of a combination of paper, st<<e rind iron, the hub being made of castiron, the central portion or body of the wheel of compressed paper, and the tire of cast-steel. In looking at the whee one would not suppose that there waf any paper about it, the paper not beinj visible, as it is completely encpsed be tween wrought iron plates stronely riv?ted by numerous bolts, and this witt the iron hub and steel tire leaves nr paper surface exposed. Strawboard is used for this purpose. A good qualitj is necessary mid it must be thoroughly dried; a very important consideration, It may be of any thickness, the thickei the better, provided it is thoroughlj dried. The strawboard is notsubjectec to any change in its character either bj chemical 'v other process, though past< is used to unite the layers and a powerful pressure is applied. The wheel is "built up" by placing one thickness o sfiMiwVmorr) nwr nnntlipr und JLfter SfiV' era! layers are put together applying the pressure. This forms a section Each section lias to be thoroughly dried Then the sections are put together ami pressed as -were the layers of strawboard. The process is a Ions: one ow< ing to the time required for drying th' layers and sections, the building up ol i wheel requiring several weeks. Tlie pressure applied is something wonder fill; for instance, a wheel forty inches in diameter will be submitted to a pressure of from eight hundred to one thou sand tons. The result is a solid ol ibout the consistency of a hard, finegrained wood, the seams, hardly perccp :ible, formed by tlic union of the secLions resembling line wood grain. A paper weight made of the car wheel paper is on my desk before me ns I write tnd it appears to be about as heavy a= i piece of ebony of the same size would pe, while its color is more like that of a Unnf Tim oft-owKAfirH iicoH nt. fill Hudson work% is made at Colioes and Waterford, N. Y. It iscutintocirculai form, of the diameter wanted for the ivheels before shipping from the mill, ;hus avoiding the handling of waste. \bout a ton ol strawboard is used at the Hudson works daily. The utility ol xiper wheels seems to have been pretty horou^hly proved. It is not claimed or them that the price is as low as that )f ordinary iron wheels; in fact on an iveragc it is more tl an twice as high. Hie price of a forty-two inch coach vheel, broad thread, of this makes veigbing nine hundred and twenty-five >ounds, is ninety dollars. But it i, lainied for them that they will give a ervice of from nine to sixteen times that >f iron wheels; the mileage of a paper vbeel being estimated as high as from 50,000 to 800,000 miles with the first ire, and when one tire is worn out it k*f nnntlinti Tim nnnOi* an ill', luuiavuvt uj uiiwiuv.!. xuv p??j/v enter is not affected by heat or cold, ain or sun, and its non-ductive nature irevents the heating of the journal from he application of the brakes which is n important consideration on such oads as the elevated where the brakes .re in such almost constant use. The teel tire is so sccured to the center as to uakeit apparently an impossibility lor t to be torn while in use from the body if the wheels, and therefore a great ;unranty is given against accidents from . broken wlief 1 throwing the car from he t' nek. Durability and safety tiien .re the merits claimed for the paper vheel. The material of which the paier boats are made at Troy is put to;ether in a way somewhat similar to hat used in the nif.nufacture of the ar wheels, though for the boats maniila taper is used instead of strawboard.

Little Hounekeepera. Among the many associationb organized in New York lor the benefit of tne poor is one that has for its object the ba promotion of the domestic industrial tb arts among the laboring classes by giv- 8l> ing to the children gratuitous instruc- ?] tion in all that pertains to the house- M wife's duties. This is the New York Kitchen Garden association, which, although i t w as started on ly four months ai ago, has a large membership, and is d, actively interested in the welfare of twelve " kitchen garden1'classes, num- ? bering more than 600 pupils. One of d: the classes recently formed is composed of thirty little girls belonging to the Five Points House of Industry. They range in age from five to twelve years, |}] are for the most part naturally bright, ti( and some ol them are very pretty. One afternoon recently they gave an exhibition in the chapel of the Five Points 0i House of Industry, which was a com- dc plete illustration of the methods of the tb "Kitchen Garden" system, so successI fill 1 v intrnHnrnrl hv Miss EmilV Hunt nr ington in 1876. " in the center of the chapel floor was * ' a collection of articles known teclini- 3 cally to the kitchen gardeners as "occupation materials." Miniature bedsteads, chairs, tables, bureaus, washtubs, bedspreads, tablecloths, pots, n kettles, napkins, forks, mattresses, ? knives, dishes, plates, pillows, clothes ? lines, brooms, salt cellars, dusting brushes, clothespins, and other things j recognized as essentials in the domestic p economy were piled up on a convenient tl stand. Twelve little girls occupied it seats at a long table, at the head of p which the teacher stood to direct operations. The many industrial arts of the v housewife were taken up in order, and a the details of the work not only illus-1 ?< trated by the young amateurs, but ex- fl plained by them as well. n One of the most interesting features g of the exhibition was the lesson in washing. At the sound of a bell the \ children rose, marched around the a table to the lively music of the piano, 11 and received each her materials, with e which the table was soon covered. f Then the class wa3 questioned as to the use of tubs, boards, soap, water, and blueing, and as to how and in what order eacti class of wash material should be handled. Next, accom- oj panying their work with a song, F the children unpacked their tubs, c< placed their boards, sorted their ?' clothes, and, with invisible soa). -nd j imperceptible water, performed Jie i usual wash-day duties. Two short poles f were planted at each end of the table, t and between these a line was deftly i stretched to the music of the orchestra, e Then the wash was hung out to dry, ? each piece being snugly at ached to the ! line with tiny dothes-pins, many of the } little laundresses holding the pins be- j tween their teeth till required for use. This mode of disposing of clothes-pins, jalthough natural to full-grown washer- n women, is not taught in the kitchen gar- F den manual; yet it does not seem to be tl interdicted. The unwet wash having become thoroughly dry, time was called, ' the lines were stripped, the materials i packed, and the labors of wash day . were done. ^ Next, one member of the class showed p ' how a cood girl woum receive uie ; housewife's visitors. Another demon- j strated with materials for "occupation n No. 3," how a sleeping room should be p prepared for occupancy. Another taught how the morning work of clean- 1 i inp and bed making should be done, the 1 : other members of the class giving their ' views in rhyme to brisk music. { ? Kaalilon IVotea. !

How She Recovered Her Property. A recent letter from Wyoming Territory says: Cummins City is still a crude metropolis. Society has not yet arrived \t the white vest and lawn sociable seriod there. There is nothing to hamper any one or throw a tiresome restraint iroundhim. You walk up and down the street without feeling that the vigilant eye of the policeman is upon you, Md when you register at tue leading tiotel the proprietor don't ask how much baggage you have, or insist upon it that your valise ought to b3 blown up with a quill to give it a robust appearance. Speaking of this hotel, however, brings to my mind a little incident which really belongs in here. There are two ladies at this place, the only ones in the fity limits, if my memory serves me. One of these ladies owns a lot of poles or house logs'which were at the time of which I speak on the dump, as it were, ready to be used in the construction of a new cabin. It seems that some of the male citizens of the corporation had been appropriating these logs from time to time, until out of a good fair assortment, there remained only a dejected little pile of culls The owner had watched with great annoyance the gradual disappearance of her property from day to day, and it made her lose faith in the final redemption of all mankind. She became cynical and misanthropical, lost her interest in the future and became low spirited and unhappy. One day, however, after this thing had Eroceeded about far enough she went to er trunk, and taking out a large size of navy revolver, the kind that sends so many W estern men to their long home, she went out to where a group of men had scattered themselves out around camp to smoke. She wasn't a large woman at all, but these men respected her. Though they were only rough miners there in the wilderness they recognized that she was a woman, and they recognized it almost at a glance, too. There she was alone among a wild group of men in the mountains, far from the protecting arm of the law and softening influences oJ metropolitan life, and yet the common feeling of gallantry implanted in the masculine breast was there. She indicated with a motion of her revolver thai she desired to called the meeting to order. There seemed to be a general anxiety on the part of every man present t< come to order just as soon as circum stances would permit. Then she mad( a short speech relative to the matter o! house-logs, and suggested that unless t certain number of those articles, no^ invisible to the naked eye, were placec at a certain point or a certain amouni of kopecks placed on file with the chair man of the meeting within a specifiec time that the deuce would be rai3ed or Main street in about two and one-hal ticks of the chronometer. There didn'1 seem to be any desire on the part of th< meeting to amend the motion or lay ii on the table. Although it was arbitrarj aliU impel ?lbl V C, anu anuuu^u au Vjjpwi tunity was given for a free expressioi of opinion, there didn't seem to be an] desire to take advantage of it. A com mittee of three was appointed to carr] out the suggestions of the chair, and ii about half an hour, the house-logs ant kopecks having been placed on deposi at the places designated, the meetinj broke up, subject to the call of tin chairman. It was not a very long ses sion, but it was very harmonious- ver harmonious and very orderly. Then was no calling for the previous questioi or rising to a point of order. The pale faced men who composed the conven Hon did not look to the casual observer! as though they had come there to rais< points for debate over parliamenatr; nractice. They kept their eye on thi speaker's doak and didn't interrupt eacl other or struggle to see who would ge the floor.

Many years ago we were returning - borne from a journey, and at the lord of J the Illinois river, seven miles from town, we tound a large gathering of Creek Indians, those that then iived below Park Hill. They were in gay attire. Some of our people were present J who informed us that they had gathered for the purpose of' making it ram "We halted to see what next.
