Boyd, J. Sterling Mor­ ton, W. H. Hunger, nnd TobiasCastor. They are all for Tilden. No other name was mentioned during the convention ex­ cept Tilden'i. The following platform waa adopted: We, the delegates of the Democratic party of the State of Nebraska, in conven­ tion assembled, submit the following plat­ form of reforms and measures: 1. We demand a vigorous frugrality in every department and from every officer of the Government, and we heartily concur in the sentiment that no reform of adminis­ tration is possible so long as the Govern­ ment is directed by a party which is under the dominion of false doctrine and anima­ ted by enormous pecuniary interests in the perpetuation of existing abuses; that the first effectual step in the reform of our (govern­ ment must be a fundamental change in the policy of its administration. 2. That, in view of the unequal and dis­ criminating operation of the existing tariff and the unjust and excessive burdens im­ posed upon the people, we are in favor of a revision which shall limit it to the produc­ tion of the necessary revenues of the Gov­ ernment economically administered; that it should be so adjusted as to prevent, as far as possible, unequal burdens upon la­ bor, and to bear most heavily on articles of luxury, and lightly on articles of necessity. We believe such a revision of the tariff laws, simplified in their operation and ad­ ministration, will result in decreasing the growth of monopolies, prevent the oppres­ sion and spoliation of labor, and the un­ equal distribution of wealth, and abolish special and class legislation. Resolved, That as our fathers, nnder the lead of Thomas Jefferson, rescued our re­ public from the control of Federalism, and the alien and sedition laws of the elder Adams, so will the Democratic party of 1884, if united, hurl the Republican party from power, and re-elect Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks President and Vice President of the United States of America. New Hampshire Democratic Convention. The Democratic State Convention of New Hampshire assembled at Concord and ac­ complished its work in three hours. It was unanimously for Tilden and Hendricks and generally in favor of the Morrison bill, Frank Jones, Henry O. Kent, Frank A. MacKean, and Alva Sulloway were chosen delegates-at-large. No instructions were given, but, as the unanimous sentiment of the convention preferred the "old ticket," they will support it at the national conven­ tion. Chairman H. W. Parker denounced {>rotection,nnd said that tariff for revenue on-y would be the issue in the campaign. Kes- olutions were adopted declaring against all laws tending to the centralization of power, wealth, and political influence; demanding a reduction of the war tariff; commending the Democratic majority of the House in their recent efforts for tariff reform, and in­ sisting on no cessation of their efforts until the revenue system is re-established on an honest basis, and calling for a thorough re­ form of tariff, financial, and administrative affairs. The resolutions also arraign the Republican party as false to the interests of the people, and assert their condemnation of " the great crime of 1876, a wrong we propose to right and make impossible hereafter." Cton. Bntpmjp Acceptance. Gen. Butler accepts the nomination of the National A nti-Monopoly organization for President of the United States. The fol­ lowing is his letter of acceptance : LOWELL, Mass,, May'21, 1884.

The West Virginia Greenback State Con­ vention met at Buckhannon and nominated Judge Edwin C. Maxwell, of Harrison County, for Governor; J. T. Burtt, Aud­ itor; Spencer W. Surm, of Marion County, Treasurer; and J. N. Kendall, of Ritchie County, Superintendent of the Free Schools. Judge Maxwell is a Republican. The rest of the State ticket is left for the Republicans to name, and the two parties will fuse in the October election as well as November. The nominatinn of electors was left to the Executive Committee. TenneHKee Prohibition Convention. . The Tennessee State Prohibition Conven­ tion, with four hundred delegates, convened at Nashville. Enthusiastic speeches were made, and the temperance cause in Ten­ nessee reported in a satisfactory condition. The convention declined to put forth a sep­ arate ticket or to mix politics and tempefi ance in any way. The delegates, however, pledged themselves to vote for candidates who favored submitting the question of a constitutional prohibition amendment to the people. THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. Recommendations of the IIOHM Commit­ tee on Public Lands. rWashlngtcn Telegram.] A report has been submitted, to accom­ pany the bill reported fr«m the House Com­ mittee on Public Lauds, providing for the repeal of the pre-emption and timber-cult­ ure laws, and amendment of the homestead laws. The committee says: We believe it should be the policy of the Government to gi>ve those of our citizens who are without homes Mich amount of public donm'n ns will make them comforta­ ble honiesttads when they ent^r upon it in good faith, intending to make it their homes nnd cultivate and live upon the same for a fixed period of time; and we believe 160 acres should be the maximum under the pre-emption, homestead, and timber-cult­ ure laws. As they now stand, one person mav bccome the owner of 480 acres of the public domain --1(10 acres under each. This is too large an amount of land, in our opinion, for any one p-'rson to acquire in this manner. Wo think the policy of the Government should be to lurnish ns many of its citizens with comfortable homes as possible, and 1 GO acres is sufficient to this purpose. By giving them this amount it will not be many years until all our public domain will be taken up. The pre-emption law was passed in 1841, the homestead law in 1862, and the timber-culture land act in 1873. When the homestead law was enacted, the pre-emp­ tion law should have been repealed, and the timber-culture law should never have been passed. We have, therefore, in a substi­ tute, provided for repeal of the pre-emption and timber-culture enactments, and amend- ed the homestead law. That eminent scientist, 11 Pasteur, who has made BO many important discoveries during the past few years bearing upon the health of man, not alone in the domain of «ause and effect, but also in the very prac­ tical direction of furnishing remtfdies for ailments considered incurable, has now added to his laurels by discovering a reme­ dy for hydrophobia, which has hitherto been considered fatal when once it had ob­ tained a foothold in the system. The fol­ lowing cable dispatch to the Chicago Trib­ une, setting forth the details of his remedy --which is 6imply inoculation for a prevent­ ive, like vaccination to prevent small-pox --and giving the details of the method he employed in his experiments with dogs, monkeys, and rabbits, will be found ex­ tremely interesting: M. Louis Pa«toar, the celebrated French chem­ ist, claims to have made a discovery •>( the most vital importance--uo'hlni; less, in fact, than a complete cure, or rather antidote, for hydro­ phobia. In an interview w th a Figaro coflre- Kjiondent M. Past ursays: "Cauterizationof the wo'ind immediately after the bite, as is well known, has Ix en more or less effective, but irom to-day anybody bitten by a mad dox has only to present himself at the Laboratory of the Ecole Normalo And by iuocuiation I will make him comi lete'y insusceptible to the effects of hydrophobia, even if bitten su frequently by any number of mad dogs. I have be n devoting the last four years to this subject. I found out in the ttrst place that the rims rabiqne loses its intensity by t ansm ssion to certain animals and increases Its intensity by transmission to other animals. With the r.ibbit, for Instance, the virus rabigue. increases: with the monkey it decreases. My method wa-< as follows: I took the virus direct from the brain of a doa: that died from acute hydrophobia. With this virus I inoculated a monkey. The monkey died. Then with tho vtrus already weakened in intensity, taken from this monke , I inoculated a second monkey. Th 'n with the virns taken from the second monkey I inoculated a thl d monkey, and so on until I obtained a virns so weak as to be almost harmless. '1'hcn with th<s almost harmless virus I inoculate i a rabbit, the virus being at once increased in int'-nsity. Then with the vims from the tirt-t rabbit 1 inoculated a second rabbit, and there was another increase in the intensity of ihe virus. Then with the vims of the second rabbit I inoculated a third rabbit, then a fourth, until the virus had regained Its maximum Intensity. Thus 1 obtained virus o? different de­ grees of power. I then took a dog and inoculated him first with the weakest virus from the rabbit, then with the virus from the second rabbit, and finally with the rabbit virus of maxim.:m intensity. Alter a iew days more ! inoculated the <log with virus directly from the brain of a dog that had just died of acute madness. The dog upon which I experi­ mented proved complete y insus: eptible to hydrophobia. The experiment was frequently rereated, always with the same successful re­ sult. "But my discovery does not end here. I took two dogs and inocnlat d tttefft both with virus taken directly irom a dog tha : had just died of acute hydrophobia. I let one of my t wo dogs thus inoculated alone and ho went mad and died of acute hydrophobia. I subjected the ss-ond dog to my treiitment, giving him the threj rabbit inosulations, beginning with the weakest and ending with the strongest. The second dog was completely cured, or rather be­ came comj letely icsusceptible to hydrophobia." M. Pasteur then went to a kennel and caressed a dog that had undergone this latter operation. Said M. Pasteur: "Whoever gets bitten by a mad dog has on:y to submit to my three little inoculations and he need not have tbe slightest tear of hydrophobia. THE MOON^INHABITED. Towns, Villages, and Cultivated Fields Can lie Seen. At the astronomical observatory of Ber­ lin a discovery has lately been made which, without doubt, will cause the greatest sen­ sation not only among the adepts in science but even among the most learned. Prof. Blendmann, in that city, has found, beyond a doubt, that our old friend the moon is not a mere lantern, which kindly furnishes light for the loving youth and gsis com­ panies of our planet, but tho abode of liv- iug, intelligent beings, for which he is pre­ pared to furnish proofs the most con­ vincing. This question has agitated humanity from time immemorial, and has been the object of the greatest interest. But the Opinions have always differed very widely, and no two minds held one and the same. Already in ancient times the belief prevailed that the moon was inhabited with some higher organized, intelligent beings, somewhat re­ sembling man, and in order to communicate with them the earthly enthusiasts planted rows of trees, several miles in length, so as to form the figure of the Pythagorean the­ orem. The celebrated astronomer, Schro­ der, in the beginning of the present century, fancied that he could detect places on the surface of the moon which periodically grew lighter and darker, and from this fact he derived the conclusion that the phenome­ non was a proof of existing vegetation. During the last few decades, however, the idea of life on the moon has been held up to ridicule, and totally scorned by men of learning. But, nevertheless, it has now been proved to be correct. ** By accident Dr. Blendmann found that the observations of the moon gave but very unsatisfactory results, owing to the intens­ ity of the light power of tho moon's at­ mosphere, which is that strong that it affects the correctness of the observations in a very high degree. Ity then con­ ceived the idea to mttke the object- glass of the refractor less sensitive to the rays of the light, and for that purpose he darkened it with the smoke of camphor. It took months of experimenting, before he succ ded in finding his right de­ gree of obscurity of the glass, and when finally found he then with the refmctor took" a very accurate photo of tho moon's sur­ face. This he placed in a sun microscope, which gave the picture a diameter of 55J feet. The revelation wns most startling. It perfectly overturned all hitherto entertained ideas of the moon's surface. Those level plains which formerly were held to be oceans of water proved to be verdant fields, and what formerly was considered moun­ tains turned out as deserts of sand and oceans of water. Towns and habitations of all kinds were plainly discernible, as well as signs of industry and traffic. The learned Professor's study nnd observations of old Luna will be repeated every full moon when the sky is clear, and we venture to prctlict that the time is not far off when we shall know more about the man in the moon itin.fi as being an agent in English politics. SIX PERSONS CREMATED. Tha Terrible Results of a Drunken Spraa at Mhnrbol Lake, Out. (Kingston (Ont.) Dispatch.] The residence of George Peters, at Shar- bol Lake, was burned at an early hour this morning. Peters, his daughter of 8 years, a young woman named Bridger, and three others were burned to death. It appears that the horror was the result of a spree. Peters was a laborer on the Ontario and Quebec Railway, and with him and his fam­ ily resided five of his associates. Last night was spent in dissipation, which con­ tinued until a late hour. About 1 o'clock Peters picked up a lamp and started up- | stairs, and, when near the top, the lamp j fell from his hand, and in an instant the stni: way was in a blaze. The flames spread I rapidly, and, before the family, most of ! whom were in the upper flat, were aroused, their escape wns apparently impossible! However, Mrs. Peters, followed by two of her daughters, rushed thiough the flames and succ eeded iu gotting out safoly, as did also John Peters, a son, and two of the boarders who slept on the first floor. Mag­ gie Pi ters, aged 20, noticed that her little sister was still in the burning building and made a desperate attempt to rescue' her but was overcome by the smoke and was taken out insensible. Her injuries it is feared, are fatal. Miss Bridger was an in­ valid, and was unable to escape when the alarm was given. It is supposed that Peters and the three other boarders wero m drunk that they did not know their peril until too late. 1 CONFIDENCE!). An Extraordinary Case of 3win« by Sharpers at Baltimore. A Sharper Tlotumiea St Paul Buinen U> the Tone off StMpd Thotuwdi. Ont of S5,6M. Hgaltimore Telegram.] llarcello Triaca, a well-to-do Italian IN- taurateur of this city, has inst been vic­ timized out of $5,600 by one of the clever­ est swindling games ever practiced in Baltimore. The rogues have escaped, and detectives have started West after them, thinking they have gone in that direction. Triaca about two months ago became ac­ quainted with a stout Italiau who came here from California. Two weeks ago he left Baltimore to return to California. Last Monday he came back, said he was going to bring his family here, and got Triaca to go with him to a bank, where he deposited $1,500. Now comes the curious part of the swindle. Triaca and his friend went out to look for a house. While on their travels they met another Italian, who carried a well-filled satchel, which, when opened, seemed to be full of money. The man appeared to be demented, and became very communicative, in a crazy, disjointed style of talking. He told them that he had come from Colorado, where he and 8 brother had been making heaps of money for years. The brother was dead, and had left all his money to . the crank, who had it all, amounting to about $40,000, in his satchel. He was on his way ^ to Chicago, where he had a sister living. He tossed his mOney about, handling the bars of gold and pack­ ages of $20 gold pieces very carelessly. The big Italian whispered "to Triaca it would only be a friendly act to take this crazy fellow-countryman home and keep him from losing or being robbed of all that wealth. The suggestion was acted upon. The big man suggested that it would in­ spire confidence in them on the crank's part if they showed him they had plenty of money, and he would the more easily allow his money to be taken care of. Acting on this hint, Triaca went to several banks in which^ he had amounts and drew out in all $5,600, the big Italian also drawing out his $1,500 deposit. Then the crank said he must go at once to Chicago. They started for Charles Street Depot to see him off. But his money was an incumbrance, he said, and if his new-found friends would only take it, put the money with theirs, and keep it for him he would be much obliged. Upon this the big Italian handed the crank his roll of bills, Triaca following suit, and the crank stuffed the money in his satchel as carelessly as if it were old papers. He handed the satchel, bursting with all this money, to his friend, but in a moment took it back and got $200 in notes, saying that would serve him till his return from Chicago. Triaca hurried away to put the satchel in a place of safety. At home he opened it, to find nothing but worthless paper and bars of iron a foot long rolled tightly in paper, at the euds of which the sly cheat hid put one or t«o $20 gold- pieces. He had by pome sleight-of-hand taken every dollar of the money out, either when he pretended to stuff Triaca's in the satchel or when he got oat the $203 for traveling expenses. Swindling by the Wholesale. [St. Paul Dispatch.] This city was never confidenoed as it was yesterday and to-day. About noon Tues­ day a smooth-looking man, about 25 or 26 years of age, entered the jewelry store of C. C. Berg, at Third and Cedar streets, and presented a card purporting to belong to the firm of John James £ Co., iron and brass founders and machinists, LaCrosse, Wis. He gave his name as Wilber H. Jones, and at once bought some diamonds, amounting in all to about $225. In payment for these he presented a check on the LaCrosse firm, and was given $75 in change. About 2 p. m. the same man went into the jewelry establishment of Myers &• 'Finch, on Bridge Square, and bonght a bill of goods, giving in payment another check. Myers <fc Finch lost $1,055. He made a call on Glenny & Oilman later, nnd pur­ chased $200 worth of goods, tendering a check for $400, in return for which Mr. Gilman gave a check for $200. The man had been in correspondence with several parties, notably Myers A Finch, for some time, and had written his communications on the engraved letter-heads of the firm, with his own name at the tap, between those of the members of the firm. Dyer & Howard are out $250. The Cafe Living­ ston was victimized out of $100. Bansom & Hoiton, hatters, were also downed. Duncan & Barry lost two suits of clothes. Palmer, the tailor, got caught for three suits of clothes. Emil Gerst lost $3,000 worth of diamonds. Ed Brown, a Third street jeweler, lost some diamonds, and described the operator as being five feet ten inches in height, of dnrk complexion, bristly black moustache, with a peculiar motion of the jaw. It is impossible to as­ certain who have been bitten. To do so one would have to take Wabasha street and Third street on both sides for their entire length. The swindler's operations almost caused a panic. v OSTRACIZED AND BANISHEI The Alleged Murderer of Zora Bums a Homeless Wanderer. [Lincoln (111.) Dispatch 1 This week will see Orrin A. Carpenter, the once wealthy and highly respected citi­ zen of Lincoln, a homeless wanderer. He has sold his property in this city and closed out his business, and is going no one knows whither. He is the first man who was ever banished from the State of Illinois by a mass convention of the people. His ostra-, cism has been complete. He goes because he cannot live here. No one will buy any­ thing of him or sell him anything.: No one will speak to him on the street or elsewhere. His wife and his beautiful daughters are served in the same way. Friends and fellow church members,, who ha\^P$:hown them all and been asso­ ciated with them in many good works for years past, treat them as strangers. The^ feeling is unanimous; the ostracism uni-' versal. In spite of Carpenter's acquittal of the murder of Zora Burns, his former house-1 maid, the belief in his guilt is general.'* The circumstantial evidence, which wast strong and in some respects damning at the- trial, has been made more so since then by fresh discoveries, and no one in Lincoln doubts his guilt for a moment. UTICA, N. Y., has started a reading-room exclusively for girls. CHIPS. IN the English northeastern ' ports 137 ocean steamships are idle.

Marriages take place at all kinds of places--from caprice, love of notoriety, and sometimes from untoward circum­ stances. Recently a couple were united in a railroad car; the stage coach has furnished the place where the bridal vows have been spoken; people have been married on horseback, in towers, and ballrooms. The writer once par­ ticipated in a wedding on the p azza of a summer cottage on one of the Thou­ sand Islands, the moonlight glinting the majestic river that flowed beneath, and crowning the fair bride with such splendor as the kind's daughters well might envy. Niagara has witnessed the marriage vows, and behind the bridal veil of Minnehaha Falls many a- oouple have been made one. A Brook­ lyn minister several years ago married a couple from his chamber window, telling them to come round in the morning and sign the necessary papers. The making out of the preliminary papers, if the clergyman is a man of tact, is usually done after the ceremony, for not seldom is there a marked hes­ itancy on the part of the contracting parties in answering,the fatal question of age. Many times have the eyes of the bridegroom opened wid* as the tally of years counted Bonie half a dozen more in the presence of the clergyman than in the prenuptial conlidences of private conversation, and though the records are attested as true, to the best of the signer's knowledge and lielief, yet there have been occasions in the- experience of every minister when he has been very oertain that by some strange magic at least half a dozen years have dropped out of the recollec­ tion of the antique but happy bride. Strange accidents sometimes happen in the preparation of the certificate. The writer once spoiled the bridal tour of a young bride by accidentally copying the father's instead of the son's name from the Health Board return lying be­ fore him. The bride was in great- alarm and at once on her return she visited the minister in great distress, saying: "You have married me to the wrong manit was with no little diffi­ culty that she wan persuaded that a new certificate would make the old gentleman her father-in-law instead K ^ her husband.--Brooklyn Eagle.
