We thought it was meet thatthffe convention should commence early to pound the daylight out of that party, and there­ fore beg permission of the convention to present this gaVeH# the temporary Chairman." Chairman Thurston accepted the gavel with the remark that he would commence to pound the life out of the Democratic party with it. {[Laughter and applause.] Judge Moody, of Dakota, moved that Dakota tie allowed ten votes instead of two in the pro­ ceedings of the convention, as she was entitled to this vote by her population and by all prece­ dents in the history of the party. He proceeded to give the reoord of past conventions to show a Territory that whenever a Territory had increased its pop­ ulation in such proportion as to Justify it, its vote in the convention was increased. Chairman Thurston stated that the National Committee had recommended that Dakota be al­ lowed ten votes during the preliminary proceed­ ings of the convention, and that Washington Territory, by the grace of the Democratic party, be allowed six. On motion of Mr. Bingham, of Pennsylvania the rules of the last convention were adopted for the government of the present convention until further action. Mr. Hallowell, of Kansas, offered the following: "The delegates to the Republican Convention, representing the surviving comrades of the dis­ tinguished soldier and General of the army, Philip Sheridan, and representing also the living principles for which he so gallantly fought and triumphed during the great era of the war, send him their sincere con of his recovery, and hope that bis life may igratutetions on the prospect hope that his life may be preserved for many years." The resolution was greeted with cheers, and was adopted by a rising vote. The immense aud­ ience joined -with the delegates in doing honor to the siok soldier. Mr. George Davis, of Illinois, moved that the roll of States and Territories be called, and that each State and Territory proceed to name Its members of the oommlttees on rules, on resolu- IWnoix, Hallowell; •him, Chart* H.

The Virginia contest was then brought to the •Mention of the convention by the Chairman. "There now remains,* be said, "the question •s to what delegates from the State of Vir­ ginia shall be permitted to name the mem-, bers of these several committees from that State." Mr. Wise, of Virginia, took the floor" and stated his side of the case, and he was fid- lowed by Gen. Mahone.

[Great confusion then prevailed for a moment, when Mr. Mahone again attempted to speak, but got no farther than 'Well, then, gentle­ men " when he was interrupted by a load ftnrf UBITOIII crv of "Wise."!

[Hisses.l He desired the roll of the States to be called in order that the Kansas delegation might cast its wot* tor the Hon. William Warner of Missouri.

All through his references to Blaine were cheered, as 4 wen also references to the other candidates, but much less enthusiastically. At the conclusion of his address Temporary Chairman Thurston announced to the conven- tfflfl £|£jCL b&BA tions, on permanent organization, credentials, and order of business. This was agreed to, and the call was proceeded with. When Dakota was reached it was agreed to suspend the caJl. and the names of committees wan handed up In writing.

The Nebraska dele­ gation had with it as their guest the first nomi­ nee of the Republican party for the Presidency and desired to present him to the convention. They desired to present John C. Fremont, litis announcement was received with oheers, and the convention voted to allow Chairman Gri of the Nebraska delegation, to present Gen » m OBBBHAX, Fremont When Mr. Green appeared upon the stage with General Fremont there was an out­ burst of applause which lasted several moments. General Fremont was warmly greeted as he was presented. He was unwilling, he said, to delay the business of the convention, and there­ fore he would consume only a few moments of time. But he would feel that he carried an In­ sensible clod, and not a warm and sympathetic heart, in his breast if he were not senaiblygrate- ful for the welcome he had received. He was happy and proud to receive hese, in this great national assembly, the wel­ come given by his friends and com­ panions of many years by his party friends, "by the men and the sons at the men witn whom it has been his conspicuous honor to have been associated in the first opening **"ipi)pi in 1856. [Applause.] Mr. Lewis, of Kentucky, presented a petition from a committee of the Grind Army of the Re­ public asking that 200 tickets of admission be accorded to them for distribution.

Ifts 6|nw.tng at Wednesday's session of the senvention was a close replica cf the day before. Then was the same crowd struggling, ticketless, •bout the doorways, the saive crowd iammed likaso maay badly packed sardines in the haU- cumu.v BSTXE. ways, and tfce wmo crowd Joyously scattering around and capturing other people's seats in the bedy of the ball. The hall was hot and the crowd perspired freely. A few minutes after 13:90 the Rev. Stephen A. Northrup of Fort Wayne offered praver. R>Uowing is a part of the praver • "We pray that Thy blessings may rest upon the assembled representative hosts that are gathered here to­ day from all parts of our broad land. Help tliem to realize the grave responsibilities resting upon them in the choice of a standard-bearer Who shaU come from the people and be of the people; one who shall partake of the sympa­ thies of the masses; for Thou didst say when Thou wast on earth, O blessed Christ, come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy- laden and I will give yon rest. We invoke Thy special favor to rest upon those who are leaders of this convention, and those who are the rep­ resentatives of the people in the various btates. We ask Thy blessing to rest upon the great part y that is represented here to-day. We thank Thee for its glorious past and success, though indeed it has come out of tribulation and has wnshp its robes in sacrificial blood of multitudes of brave soldier boys." In response to the Invitation of the Chair Gov. Foster of the Committee on Permanent Organi­ zation came forward to the platform and ad­ dressed the convention as follows: "MR. PRKSIDENT--Your Committee on Perma­ nent Organisation makes the following unani­ mous report: We recommend for permanent President Hoq, Morris M. Estee of the State of California. For Vice Presidents we recommend the following: "Alabama, P. D. Parker; Arkansas, F. HaviB; California, W. W. Byington ; Colorado, J. W. Wingate; Connecticut, I. L. Spencer; Delaware, J. R.

"And we further report that we would give au­ thority to such States as have not yet named a candidate for Vice-President to hereafter name such officer." The honorary Secretaries' names wen also read. A motion to adopt the nfMCt of the Commit­ tee upon Permanent Organisation was put by the Chair and unanimously adopted. Chairman Estee was introduced by Mr. Thurs­ ton. and a* soon as the applause had subsided be made a five-minute speech of thanks to- the convention. "Gentlemen of the convention," said he, "I thank you in the name of the States and Terri­ tories of the Pacific coast, as well as from my own heart, for the distinguished honor you have seen fit to confer upon me. I appreciate to the fullest extent the grave responsibilities which devolve upon me. and this being a Republican convention I shall ask in all things its charit­ able judgment and its candid and earnest sup­ port. Gentlemen of the convention, following so illustrious a gentleman as your temporary Chairman, I shall not attempt to detain you by any lengthy speech. I only want to say to you that we live so far away from the center of the republic over on the Pacific shore that I can not even guess who your nominee is going to be. [Laughter.] I say further to you, my friends and gentlemen of the convention, that I am not able to say exactly what your platform will be. but the people of the country have echoed its senti­ ments, and the rattle of the skirmish line was heard only two weeks ago from Oregon [great ap- trfause], and, God willing, nest November you will hear from Cleveland's Appomattox all over this great Republic. [Cheers.] My friends and gentlemen of the convention, again thanking you for the very high honor you have conferred upon me, and trusting from the depth of my soul that every act done may promote the best interests of our common country and advance the great Rep -- " - " of business." [Applause., When the applause that acknowledged Chair­ man Estee's brief speech had subsided Delegate Roche, of Illinois, presented to the convention a magnificent gavel made of gold and silver. 14 was the gift of Giles Bros., jewelers of Chicago, and cost $1,000. Next Delegate Works, of Illinois, got the floor, and presented the convention with another gavel, made of wood firm a desk used in the Grant tannery at Galena. "Yesterday," re­ marked Mr. Works, "the Michigan delegation presented to the temjwrary Chairman of this convention a gavel with which it was proposed to pound to death the Democracy. I, on behalf of the Illinois delegation, take great pleasure in presenting to you, Mr. Chuinnan, this gavel, with this sentiment: Having pounded to death the Democratic party, we will now proceed to tanhiH hide." Mr. Bavne, of Pennsylvania, then read the re. 'port of-the Committee on Rules, which, after considerable debate, was adopted. Mr. Husted, of New York, moved that the con­ vention vote the committee authority to issue 200 tickets to old Union soldiers now in the city. This motion was carrfcd with only slight dis­ sent. After ail the preliminaries were ended the Chair recognized Mr. Wellington, of Maryland, who sent in the following resolution, which was read: "Kesolved, By the Republican party of the United States of America assembled in national convention, that we tender to the German nation our sympathy in thiB hour of their great be­ reavement and great sorrow caused by the death of their ruler, the Emperor, King Frederick of Germany." The reading of this resolution produced great applause, and when he could be heard Mr. Wel­ lington addressed the Chair and convention in support of the resolution. When he had finished, Mr. Harris, of North Carolina, stated that the Committee on Resolutions bad prepared a reso­ lution which was not a pert of the platform, and which'might be read now. The resolution was rewj ̂as follows: e tender to the German people our heart­ felt sympathy in the double loss they have re­ cently sustained in the decease of the great man undar whose reign Germany has . became a united nation, and that other great man, his liberal-minded, peace-loving, and noble son." The Chair--Gentlemen of the convention, those in favor of the adoption of the resolution Just read will rise to their feet." The entire convention arose, and the motion was declared unanimously carried amid great applause. Mr. Dixon, a colored delegate from Maryland, offered resolutions in memory of Generals Grant, Logan, opd Arthur, and Senator Conkling, w hich were rather rambling and incoherent, but which were also passed with a unanimous rising vote. After long snd weary waiting the Committee on Credentials lit last cnnoimced itstl? a-t ready to report, and tLe Chairman, Mr. W. P. HtpvUm of Iowa, came focs\ nrd with the papers in his hand. He announced that the committee had taken the printed lists as correct except in case of contest. There were nineteen cast s of rcn- u st few of 1hein < f much iutercst save thrt in Virginia. In the latter case, alter a three i ours' debate the Mahone delegi.tas at large and the Wise district delegates were seated, 'ibis was a victory for the Wise men. It was nearly midmgat, and the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. Incidents^ The city is crowded with visitor*.

S, ftp Mf-% Oh S.Ma^ie, I am so glad vou came; you dm stay all day, .can't you?" ex­ claimed Katie Bay, as she took the dainty hat and cloak of her friend, and pushed an easy chair towards her; "I , was afrnid Ted forgot to stop with my note." "Oh, no, hei remembered; and I can stay till we have the party all planned out. Havê ou made out ̂ our list df invitations yet?" "Not yet. I waited for you to help me." ** You will ask Dr. Halford I presume ?" said Hattie with a shy glance at her friend as she seated herself in the easy chair. A quick blush rose to Katie's cheek. "I shall ask him, of course," she an­ swered, "but don't joke now, Hattie; help me plan things out just as we want them, we can have everything nice; for papa said I could* order whatever I wanted to make it a success, and he would be satisfied." "Isn't helkind ?" said Hattie; "he called at our house this morning to ask Hal to help you all he could in ordering and planning, because he is obliged to go away to-morrow and will not be back until the day after your birthday. I told Hal I knew you wouM invite Dr. Halford, so if he wished to tell ln'm what kept him from the office, it wouldn't matter if he mentioned the party."' "Of course it will not matter," said Kate; "but now help me decide on a dress, for I know your taste is un- equaled, and I wish to have as becoming a suit as possible." In the interesting discussion which ensued the moments flew swiftly by, and the girls were surprised to find how late it was when the bell rang and Hal Wood came in to say he could not be with them until evening, for his partner, Dr. Halford, had found a little child crying on the street that morning, and she had told him such a pitiful story of a sick and crippled sister, that he had Eromised to go to see if he opuld help er; "and," said Hal, "he would sooner break a promise to the wealthiest patron we have than disappoint tfifll little beg­ gar child, but then," he added, "I don't know but I like him all the better for his quixotic notions, even if it does keep me in the office until he gets back, when I would so much rather be here." "Oh, well, well manage to exist until evening without you," said Hattie;"you can make yourself doubly useful then to make up." The invitations will be all ready to be addressed by then. How are you going to send them, Kate, by post?" "No, I think not. Ted asked me to let him take them. He is so pleased with his new pony any excuse for a ride is acceptable, so I promised him he should. . That is one reason I want them all finished to-day; he is to go out to grandma's next Tuesday, so I want them ready for him to deliver Monday afternoon." "Well I most go, girls," said Hal, ris­ ing as he spoke. "I will be on hand this evening, sure. By the way, Kate, tell your father. Bev. Mr. Scott is to lecture at the S. Street Church to-night. As he has never heard him perhaps he would like to attend." "Thank you, Hal; he knows it already; I heard him promise Ted this morning the; would go to the lecture. But I will tell him you mentioned it. It will please him to know you re­ membered his fondness for such things," and Kate nodded her good-by to him with a smile that made him think as he strode down the street, "How pretty Kate is, and what a splendid girl. I a brother than wish Halford would fall in love with her,, how. But any way they are just made for each other." The little beggar girl was waiting at the office, and as soon as Hal appeared Dr. Halford started with his ragged little guide on his errand of mercy. A few steps from the office they met Katie's brother, Ted Bay, and the doctor was surprised to see a look of recognition pass between him and the child. "Do you know that boy?" he asked. "I don't know his name," she re­ plied, "but he's awful good; he give me an orange one time, and yesterday I see him give blind Jimmy a ride on his pony, and he l&l the pony just as care­ ful, so he woiddn't get throwed. Oh! you don't know, sir. Why, all the folks on our street knows him. They call him the 'pony boy.' " "Are you sure that is the same boy?" asked the doctor, kindly, for the child's words had presented Ted in a some­ what different light, he having only thought of him as a boy that was rather too full of mischief and practical jokes. But the little girl's emphatic "yes, sir," convinced him, and with ..a sigh he wondered if he had misjudged Katie - as he had her brother, and he would have given a good deal just then if his small to Avail to ooold fof tbe maonaufcXw gui&efaw him; arid whu house, late in the afternoon, he oould discern some dnm lor better, and promised little Maggie he would oome every day until her was well. The afternoon of the party at la ̂ and Kate and Hattie stood looking at the completed arrangements, well satisfied with their efforts ; and how oould they help but be ? Everything was as perfect as wealth and good taste could make it. Only one thing disturbed Kate's peace of mind. No answers, either of acceptance or refusal, had come to her invitations. It seemed very odd. "What can be the reason ?" she asked Hattie again, just as the door-bell rang, and the maid came to her with a letter in her hand. "From Ted!" Kate exclaimed. "Ex­ cuse my looking at it, Hattie," and in a moment she was gazing at the following: "DEAR 8IS:--I suppose you will be awful mad, but I want them to have a good time. I put the invitations in my desk and asked the lame and halt and blind, like Scott said in his lecture that folks ought to do. But I told grandma, and she made me write right otT to tell yoii. She says your own heart will tell you What to do. I hope vou won't be mad. 'They was all awful tickled. How's my pony? Be good to blind Jimmy and don't be mad. "TED." "Oh, Hattie, what shall I do!" ex­ claimed Kate as she threw herself into a chair, after reading Ted's scrawl aloud, undecided whether to laugh or crv. "Do?" said Hattie, "I'm sure I d°n't know, though I should, if we could reach Ted. Oh! Kate, I'm BO so^ry! What do you suppose put such a thing into his head?" "Scott's lecture, undoubtedly," an­ swered Kate, as * she glanced again at Ted's letter; "see how much confidence he has that his guests will be enter­ tained," and she read again, "I want them to have a good time." Then swallowring down the lump that would rise in her throat, as she thought how much pleasure she had meant that party to give to her friends and herself, she looked up cheerfully and bravely and said: ' "Thov shall have a good, time, too, if you will only help me. 14 W don't mean to entertain them!" . "Yes I do; do you suppose I could turn away any one that accepted Ted's invitation in good faith and came, thinking it all right? They are not to blame, Hattie, and think what their feel­ ings would be! Yes, I shall enter­ tain whoever comes. Do help me, Hattie. I dare not trust the serv­ ants ; some of them might be thought­ less enough to let them know it was all a mistake, and if they come they must have a good time." That is how it happened that a couple of hours later, when little Maggie came timidly up the steps leading blind Jimmy by the hand, the door was opened by Kate herself, and they were wel­ comed as cordially its if they had been her own invited guests. They were the first arrivals, but by no means the last, and Kate wondered, as she looked around the spacious par­ lors, where Ted could have found them all. "Hattie," said Hal, as later in tha evening he stood by her for a few mo­ ments, "do you think Kate, would be angry if I got Halford over here. I be­ lieve he's more than half in- love with her, and I know if he should see her now the conquest would be complete." " Angry ? no. I stood by her just now while that ragged little' girl told how good Dr. Halford had been to her crip­ pled sister, and from the expression on her face I fancy he, at least, would not be an unwelcome guest. Kate was surprised when Dr. Hal­ ford came, but Hattie explained his being there by saying she and Hal feared three could not wait on so many alone, and Hal had asked his assistance, and when Katie saw how much his being there added to the pleasure of those she was trying so hard to enter­ tain, she was thankful for Hal's thought- fulness in bringing him. It was late in the evening when Ted's giests left, each bearing tokens of atie's generosity and feeling as if they had caught a glimpse of Paradise. Dr. Halford was the last to leave, and there was a look in his eyes that made Katie's heart beat very fast, as he told her how he had enjoyed the even­ ing, and what he thought of her noble, disinterested kindness. And Hal was manlike enough to laugh and say "I told you so," when on the way home Hattie told him she over­ heard Dr. Halford ask Katie's .permis­ sion to call on her the next worning. DBAB GBAWDKA:--I said I would write if I got home .safe, and I did. Kate wasn't mad at the party. She says it was the nicest party she ever went to, and so does Dr. Httlford and Hattie Wood. Dr. Halford is to be my brother pretty soon, an' he says it's all 'cause ot the party; but I can't "d sooner have him for like pink, wrinkled baby cousin Tom's new brother is. He thinks he can make blind Jimmy see, and if he does, he is to be his offloe boy. Kate says tell you she shall never be sorry for my way of looking at the lame and halt and blind verse.

For in spite of Dr. Halford's dislike for fashionable women, he had to acknowledge to himself that he felt more than ordinary interest in Katie Bay. An abrupt pause and a "Here is home, sir," from the little girl interrupted his thoughts, and he woke from his reverie to find himself in one of the poorest streets in the city, and was soon led to his new patient. He had relieved many cases of dis­ tress before this; hut never had he met with such abject poverty, and his heart was very full as he glanced around at the signs of want and suffering, and thought of the sfnall amount of happi­ ness in store for the sick girl should she recover. But the eager little face of his guide was turned to him with so much hope and confidence shining in her eyes, that he resolved, for her How Snuff Is Made*. In the manufacture of snuff in this country the finest Virginia leaf tobacco is used, which is considerably modified by carrying the fermentation much fur­ ther than in tobacco intended for smok­ ing, and is simply ground and sifted. "In our factory," said a prominent dealer, "we have about sixty mills, re­ sembling large coffee mills. The ground tobacco falls upon an endless band of broad canvas, which conveys it to four sets of mechanical sieves. The snuff which passes through is received upon an endless traveling band, which carries it thence into a close chest. The par­ ticles which are too course to pass through the sieve are reground. The immense varieties of snuffs are formed by mixing together and grinding to­ baccos of different growths, and by vary­ ing the nature of the same. "For the snuff known as Nearoco, forty parts of genuine St. Omer, South American tobacco, forty parts of Georgia, and twenty parts of fermented Virginian stalks in powder are used. The whole is ground and sifted. Then two and one-half pounds of rose leaves are mixed with powdered Virginian stalks, and two and one-half pounds of rosewood in fine powder, moistened with salt water, are added. It is then worked up with one pound of cream of tartaf two pounds of salt of tartar, and four pounds of table salt. This snuff, which is highly scented, must be* pre­ served in lead* and brings $4 per pound. The other brands of snuff manufactured here are Bolougaro, large-grained Par­ ish and Scotch snuff, ranging in price from $3 to $10 per pound.̂ -.ifaii and Express. ^ A YOCNO woman at Beloit, Kah., was recently paid the bounty on the soalpe of nine voting wolves which tared while herding cattle.

An important feature of it is the moderate elevation above sea-level, and the gradual in­ crease of that elevation westward.

This is as high as Ben Nevis or the Adirondacks; but thero are no mountains in Kansas.
