Tbe hotel in question promises to be something grand It ia to cost in the neighborhood of oue million dollar*.

Williams, who agreed to con tribute five per cent, of tbe total amount aatrscribed. That is if tbe amount be one million he will con tribute $50,000. Other citizens have made large contributions, and many who have little to spare have added tbeir mite. Every one, young and old, seems enthusiastic about tbe scheme We can not but predict that thia enter prise endorsed by sueli brave, de termined people will be sacces*fully eonsnmmsted. Verily old Chorhs- tou is herself again and we rejoice to see her stepping forward on tbe road to prosperity. THE 8T LOUIS COR TEXT ION The Democratic clans have gath ered in convention at St. Louis. Representative men of tbe Democ racy throughout tbe whole eonutry are there and all eyes are turned to sards (bat city eagerly watching their movements. Ever> thing pre dicta a harmonious gathering. All uniting on one man for tbe first place, tbe nomination will very probably be made by acclamation and Qrorer Cleveland will again be our standard-bearer. Doubtless before tbe News reaches many ot our readers this question, already a foregone conclusion, will be settled. We will go before tbe people once more with the leader whose motto is: “A public office is a public trust." Th-re is not such cnauimi'y, however, over tbe selection tor the second place ou the ticket. Tbe foremost candidates for this |K>siiiou are Allen G. Thur-. mao, of Ohio, and Governor Gray, of Indiana. Tbe mere un-ntiou of tbe name of tbe former, the “Grand old Roman,” carries catliuaiasm with it Governor Gray, on tbe other baud, baa a strong following and it is impossible to say how tbe coutest will result. There is con siderable talk of compromising o i fo third mao if neitber Thurman nor Gray can secure the necessary two thirds majority. Re this as it may, however, we feel ssured that tbe convention will be wise enough to agree on one w bo is in every re spect qoalifitd to battle together with Cleveland in the coming cam paign. The tarifl issue will also cause some discord. Some of tbe dele gates, mote timid thau otbera, favor adopting tbe tariff plauk of the platform of 1884, iguoriug com pletely the Mills bill and President Cleveland’s message. The reform ers are determiued to have a plat form in accordance with the true Democratic principles of tariff re dccticn, and ns nine-tenths of tbe delegates are in favor of snob a pol icy, it will meat likely be carried into effect. So let It be; we abouid stand by our colors and sot dodge tba issue. With Henry Watterson aa chairman of the committee oa reaolutioue, the causa of tariff rr form ia aafe. Wa*hingtoa Letter.

It is principally used In making perfumes, to ‘>et" the odor, and a* a refiner. It is related that one afternoon, yean ago, tbe achooner Gage Phillips, of ProTineotoivn was drifting oo the whal ing grounds, when the man on lookout ■sported that a small, peculiar looking substance was floating off tbe port quarter. It was taken on dock and pronounced to ha some pacliar kind of West Indian gum. After being kicked around the deck for some days it was thrown carelessly into the stem boat The Phillip* fell in with another whaler, and the crews exchanged visits Tbe visiting captain noticed the '‘gum,” declared it was ambergris and revealed its value. It was taken care of, and when tbe vessel arrived borne the sale a< that lump of ‘‘gum’' added $9,000 to the general stock of the voyage. Another captain of a merchant reasel, lying at anchor off one of the islands to tbe West Indies, discovered a lump aa large aa hia two fists in the possession of a negro, who sold It to the captain for ona flannel shirt and an old pair of pontaloona. It waa sold in tha states for $300. A whaling crew having secured and killed a whale, cut K In two and fround a dark, gray mass about the sixe of a half barrel In the effort to get It on deck the lead like mass shot downward into the fathomless sea, and at least $30,000 slipped neatly away, leaving a mad captain and a mad crew. There are living In Provincetown many retired whalers who have made fortunes in the find of ambergris, and teldom a season passes without some of her captains returning wealthy men.— Chicago Times. Dark Wator* of Superior. How cold tbe dark water of Lake Su perior is! One eveiling when we were ■teaming across that lake I asked tha mate what was done when a man fell overboard. He coolly replied: ‘-Noth ing." "Why?” I asked, astonished at hia heart leesnera. “The water of Lake Superior is so cold that a man cannot live in it during the time it takes to stop a rapidly moving Asset and lower a boat,” he replied. Then be added: ‘‘I have sailed on this lake for twenty years. During that time I have known many men to fall off vee- sela. I know of one man only who ea rs pel death. He was saved by a scratch. The others were apparently killed by tha shock produced by failing into such cold water.” He picked up an empty can to which a long string waa attached andca it overboard. The can skipped from tha crest of one wave to that of another foe an instant, then dipped and fiP-A Tha hoary beaded mate drew the full can up tnd handed it to me, saying: “Take a drink of that, and then you say what you think of your chances of swimming q * in Lake Superior for ten or fifteen min utes." I drank deeply, and it was aa though liquid ice flowed down my throat. “It (a alleged,” the mate said, “that this lake never gives up its dead, t hat to be drowned in Lake Superior is to b* buried for all time. I do not know whether this is true or not. but I do know that I have never seen a a corpse flontinjf on the lake.” I wonder If that is true’ I doubted It, but I could find no sailor who hail ever teen a dead body floating on the lake.— Frank Wilkeson iu New York Times. Darlington Normal (M»i boro’ Deinocrst.) Helling Good* by Weight.' It is but a question of a very short time In my belief when the sale of articles of food and other material* now disposed of by “dry measure" and by “count" will be conducted entirely by weight. Tbe Coal exchange has abolished the bushel, and all transactions In fuel both with receivers and with the consumer are by the too. Wheat is handled in the elevators now by the hundred weight instead of the bushel. The produce men are adopting the weight system, and tbe retailer* are following them. Potatoes and onions are sold by the pound in many groceries now instead of by th* measure Eggs should be sold by weight, aa the doxen plan is not satis factory There is a tendency t© the adop tion of the metrical system in other lines, and tbe young men of today will see tbe present irregular measurement of incites, f^t, yards, furlongs and miles succeeded by the less confusing system la use in France.—Globe-Democrat. GAME IN THE NORTH. ■arrrloo* Skill of tho HaUve Boater* ut th* Arette fo*gt*B» Tbe natives of the Frigid Zone know how to set effective traps for deer, wolves, and other Animals, without the aid of wood, p white mens implements. A deer trap, tor iustauce, is made by digging a hole in the deep snow and covering it with snow blocks held in position by rest ing upun each other. For bait, little lines of salted water are led to the center of the covering of the pit. and following up oue of these the unsuspecting animal falls in aud becomes an easy prey to tha hunter. A wolf trap is made by roiling into as small a space a* possible slender strips of whalebone about a foot in length, and tying them with thread mad* from sinew. Each coil tv then imbedded in a small chunk 0? meat ami thrown upon the snow, where it is sufaeequeaty fuund by the wolf and bolted without chewing. In a little while the froxen meal thaws, the sinew is wet and slips tbe loosely mode knots, the whalebone straightens aud pierces the stomach and intestine*, and the animal dies in torture. In winter the northern native know* how to find the “blow hole" in the ica fields, where a seal comes up to get a fresh supply of air for his lungs. This blow hole" Is viTy different In reality from that which is usually pictured in the illustrated stories of Arctic travel. Gen erally they are repre>ented as irregular openings in the ice from two to Six feet in diameter. The fact is. one unfamiliar with the habits and haunts of these marine mamma’.* would pass directly over a blow bole in winter or spring and not see it. as it is not usually more than from half an inch to an inch in uT*meter at the surface of the ice. The native seal hunters are greatly assisted in these rche* by their dogs, whose keen noaei scent the odor of seal meat, and guide tbeir masters to places ou tbe right or left of tb* line of search, that wogld otherwise have escaped the notice of even these keen eyed hunters. When found, the location is marked for fu ture reference, and at some subse quent time, when meat is scarce in the snow hot that shelters the hunter's house hold. he repairs, with snow knife and spear, to oae of the place* previously marked, and building a shelter or break wind of snow block*, sits down to await the return of the seal. Sometimes these vigil* are prolonged not for hours only, but for days, at a sitting In fbe spring when tbe seal comes out upon tbe ice to bask and doxe in tbe warm sunlight, tbe hunter approaches him by lying down and advancing cautiously, at tbe same time imitating th* motions of a seal, keeping his feet and legs, which he crosses at the ankle, close together, ao that they much resemble the hindquarters of a seal. Indeed, when at a distance, I have frequently found it difficult to tell which was the seal asd which th* man.

A word about cold feet, of which very many complain, and such people almost invariably suffer from indigestion and other derangements. An abbreviation of one of the ancient laws of health is “head cool and feet warm.” An observance of this is certainly one of the primary essen tials. If a person wear* woolen stockings, as alt ought to do in the winter, the moat common cause of cold feet is sweating of the same, and it is the consequence of wearing shoe* which arc too tightly closed around tbe ankles. While the walking permits them to do so, people suffering from the trouble in question should wear low shoes and top gaiters. In very In clement weather arctics, worn over cloth ■hoes, ar* the best for them: when their feet are to dressed, they can walk in snow for hours without feeling the cold la tbe slightest degree. It ought to be unneeqa- scry to r Al thst a person should never go to bed to.th cold foot, for sleeplessness is rna of the common consequence*. Those who can bear it solely should, before re tiring, immerse their fe?t in cold water for:« moment, and then rub them briskly v. .;h r coarse towel umil they are warm, i’oi those in whom circn’.ation li deficient “ fcot brick or fl.i: iron, wrapped in flannel, is often essential, and should always ha placed in the bed when needed.—Hall’s Journal of Health.
