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

year*, ao: only i* the amount of oil ob
tained but in t hAt of ambergris. Amber
gris is a peculiar secretion found in a dm-
^aaed whale, ami is worth its weight to
gold. It Is not a buoyant article, nnd ia
only obtained by killing tbe whale, or tb*
whale's dying and drifting asit >re, » i* -B
the lump of ambergris washes upon tbs
beach after the carcass is ctecomposed.
The aml<crgris mr sick; whales ara nsually
found near tbe land, and when tba
■tuff is picked up ou since tbe car
cass of a dead whale is usually
somewhere in the vicinity. When an ap
parently healthy whale is lulled, and ow
examination appear* to have very Uula
oil, a search for ambergris is male. In
appearance t U dark gray, sticky sub
stance, and very vile stalling. 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.—

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.—

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.

savages that has taught them to do all
thi* skillfully.—W. H. Gilder iu Tbe Cos

EoaMtblug About Cold Foot.
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

A Bit of Realism.
While in Europe {art summer I wit
nessed a bit of reulism that would be a
fcurprls* to our most original theatrical
men who sometimes combine very opposite
business in seeking for new effects. ‘ I was
invited to a coaccr: while In Berlin, and
listened to eomo ot the tenge and recita
tion* by the best amateur* of a certain
tot. It was all very well except cne per-
ormance by a student, which certainly
vtartled tho r.udiencc. He recited Paul's
defense In Greek and went In for the
t ealiem of the piece. In erder to represent
more thoroughly the character ot the
apostle, os a prisoner, he had himself led
on tho platform by a long, heavy chain,
, which was bound aroqnd his welsh How-
: ever, ho went no further in his nrktup,
but kept on his white kid gloves rr.l hress
uit. The Greek language, tho chain and
tho gloRfs had just the opposite effect to
that intended by him.-W. B. Cumminga

Old Jacksonville, Fla., citisens don’t

the basins of the Hires nrtoian wells

Guard Against tho Strike,

The French caricaturists were busy
luring tbe recent crisis making M. Grevy
and M. Wilson Urgets for their wit. One
-bowed the republic in tho guise of an
avenging angel driving the president and
hi* son in-law from the F.lysee Another
•bowed M. Wilson leaving that palace,
Rith M. Grevy weeping at the window.
Another portrayed M. Wilson standing at
the door of a euriosity shop, asking pass-
rrs by to step in and purchase decorations
while M. Grevy was In the background
taking in money nt the counter. Yet an-
3ther pictured MM. Clemcuceaa and
Hechefort vainly trying to hoist M. Grevy
Jit of tbe presidential chair by means of
fc crane, and finally exclaiming: “Oh, it’s
do use! He’s screwed fast!”—Chicago
