Only a Woman ing to the broad, ttat, armorial tombstone of a departed worthy—perhaps of Isaac Johnson himself—she began to dance upon it. In reply to her mother's command and entreaty that she would behave more decorously, little Pearl paused to gather the prickly burrs from a tall burdock which grew beside the tomb. Taking a handful of these, she arranged them along the lines of the scarlet letter that decorated the maternal bosom, to which the burrs, as their nature was, tenaciously adhered. Hester did not pluck them off. Roger Chillingworth had by this time approached the window, and smiled grimly down. "There is no law, nor reverence for authority, no regard for human ordinances or opinions,right or wrong, mixed up with that child's composition," remarked he, as much to himself as to his companion.

Roger Chillingworth readily assented, and went on with his medical supervision of the minister, doing his best for him in all good faith, but always quitting the patient's apartment at the close of a professional interview with a mysterious and puzzled smile upon his lips.

It came to pass not long after the scene above recorded that the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale at noonday and entirely unawares fell into a deep, deep slumber sitting in his chair, with a large black fetter volume open before him on the table. It must have been a work of vast ability in the somniferous school of literature.

Blaine" men fell into harmony, and the cry went up from 5,000 voices as from one, while the stamp of feet that accompanied it made the big convention hall tremble Men and women fainted from sheer exhaus tion. After nearly thirty minutes of panda moniurn Gov. McKinley's voice was at last heard requesting that as a matter of safety, suggested by those having a knowledge of the building, that the stamping of feet be discontinued.

He entered the cabinet. He resumed his work, and has won a higher place in our history. The prophecy he made for Gartield has been superbly fulfilled by President Harrison. In che language of Mr. Blaine, "the president h»s com'.eili'ii a re-election by the logic of events and the imperious necessities of the situation." The man who is nominated here today, to win. must carry a certain well kuown number of the doubtful states. New York was carried in IWfl by General Garfield, and in every important election since that time we have done our best. We have put forward our ablest, our most popular, our most brilliant leaders for governor and state officers,- to suffer i-onstant defeat. The only light which illumines the sun of hope, the dark record of those twelve years, is the fact that in lHss the state of New- York was triumphantly carried by President Harrison. He carried it then as a gallaut soldier. a wise senator, a statesman who inspired confidence by his public utterances in daily speeches from the commencement of the can vass to its clo e. He still has all these claims, and in addition an administration beyond criticism and rich with the elements of jxipularity with which to carry New York again. lirrater Than His Grand fat Iter.

A llrtak for McKJnley. He was followed by Bruno Fink, of Mil- ' waukee, a young man who spoke for Harrison, and by S. W. Downey, of Wyoming, who started out with the remark, "I come ! from oue of the far distant states which is many miles froia here," and this elicited an ■ explosion of derisive laughter. The convention and galleries guyed Mr. Downey so liberally that he finally sat down after seconding Blaine's nomination, General Sewell, ; of New Jersey, got the floor and moved that the convention proceed to ballot. The ; motion wss put and carried by a rousing chorus of "yeas." The first state called made the first break to the dark horse, Mc- 1 Kinley.

The child probably overheard their voices, for looking up to the window, with a bright but naughty smile of mirth and intelligence, she threw one of the prickly burrs at the Reverend Mr. Dimmesdale. The sensitive clergyman shrunk with nervous dread from the light missile. Detecting his emotion, Pearl clapped her little hands in the most extravagant ecstasy. Hester Prynne likewise had involuntarily looked up, and all these four persons, old and young, regarded one another in silence, till the child laughed aloud and shouted: "Come away, mother!

To such an unwonted remoteness, however, had his spirit now withdrawn into itself, that he stirred not in his chair when old Roger Chillingworth, without any extraordinary precaution, came into the room. The physician advanced directly in front of his patient, laid his hand upon his bosom and thrust the vestment that hitherto had always covered it even from the professional eye. Then, indeed, Mr. Dimmesdale shuddered and slightly stirred. McKlnley— Ex-Minlster tu France "Where," asked he, with a look askance at them—for it was the clergyman's peculiarity that he seldom nowadays looked straightforth at any object, whether human or inanimate—"where, my kind doctor, did you gather those herbs with such a dark, flabby leaf?"

They grew out of his heart, and typify, it may be, some hideous secret that was buried with him, and which he had done better to confess during his lifetime." So she drew her mother away, skipping, dancing and frisking fantastically among the hillocks of the dead people, like a creature that had nothing in common with a bygone and buried generation, nor owned herself akin to it. It was as if she had been made afresh, out of new elements, and must perforce be permitted to live her own life and be a law unto herself, without her eccentricities being reckoned to her for a crime.

The president was victorious on the first ballot, and h i s nomination was then made unanimous. When the result was announced the convention went wild.

Mr. Reid had received his training in the school of American journalism under Horace Greeley. Applause.] The people demanded his appointment to be minister to France at a very critical diplomatic period. Scarcely was he installed in office than there fell upon him the solution of the most complicated question known in diplomacy between the two countries. That he had solved it was a matter of pride to every American. His duty done he resigned the office which he never sought. When he returned to America all the honors in the land were heaped on him. He had always lDelieved loyalty to party was next to country. He had always believed in party. It was said that Mr. Reid had difficulties with the typographical unions. This had been settled. The president of that organization was here and had certified it in writing. In conclusion General Porter said that with Whitelaw Reid they would march to victory. To a New Yorker the paving of London seems very nearly perfect. But, with what a wild look of wonder, joy and horror! With what a ghastly rapture, as it were, too mighty to be expressed only by the eye and features, and therefore bursting forth through the whole ugliness of his figure, and making itself even riotously manifest by the extravagant gestures with which he threw up his arms toward the ceiling and stamped his foot upon the floor! Had a man seen old Roger Chillingworth at that moment of his ecstasy he would have had no need to ask how satan comports himself when a precious human soul is lost to heaven and won into his kingdom. James G. Blaine began life as a canvasser for a "Life of Henry Clay." The 5 o'clock tea is the grub which makes the butterfly of fashion. It takes two good men to make a bargain, but one mean man can break one. "Perchance," said Mr. Dimmesdale, "he earnestly desired it, but could not." "There goes a woman," resumed Roger Chillingworth after a pause, "who, be her demerits what they may, hath none of that mystery of hidden sinfulless which you deem po grievous to be Dome. Is Hester Prynne the less miserable, tliink you, for that scarlet letter on her breast?" have the st,ito passed, but ex-Governot Foraker jmupeCl into the aisle and announced that the delegation had.been polled and he demanded the announcement of the vote. "And wherefore?" rejoined the physician.

There are said to be 20,000 kinds of butterflies, of which two-thirds are named. Mh. President and Gi.nti.kme.i of the Convention. It is the peculiarity of Republican national "inventions that each one of \hem has a distinct and interesting history. We are here to meet conditions and solve problems which make this gathering not only no exception to the rule bnt substantially a new departure. That there should be strong convictions and their earnest expression as to preferences and policies is characteristic of the right of individual judgment, which is the fundamental principle of Republicanism. There have been occasions when the result was so-sure that the delegates conld freely indulge in the charming privilege of favoritism and of friendship, but the situation which now confronts us demands re Herts more credit upon bis ancestors than tbev have devolved npon him. and presents in American history the parailct of thv younger Pitt. By the grand record of a wise and popular administration, by the strength gained in frequent contract with the people, in wonderfully versatile and felicitous stHS'rh. by the claims of a pure life in public and in the simplicity of a typical American home. I nominate Benjamin Harri^n. At the close of Channcy Do pew's speech the Harrison men started a counter demonstration. An immense crayon portrait of the "If anybody wants to challenge it, thei, he can," asul Foraker. The chainnar stepped iuto the aisle, and amid an almot,' perfect silence, announced the vote: Harrison, McKidey. 41. The convention we«it wild for a minute, whiie Chairman MC Kinley, his face whiter, if possible, than usual, pounded the table with his gavel. - As the cheering ceased the chairman said in a clear, firm tone: "I challenge that vote." There was an outburst of applause from the Harrison men. ''You're not a member of the delegation," shouted a delegate. If every man was as big as he feels there wouldn't be standing room in this country. Albert Bierstadt has sold his great painting, "The Last of the Buffaloes," for 150,- 000. WHITELAW REID. \%. Total vote, 906; necessary, 454. The convention adjourned sine die at 9:57 p. m., after giving three cheers for Harrison and Reid, and after thanking Chairman McKinlev for his services and Minneapolis for her hospitality. "That, good sir, is but a fantasy of yours," replied the minister. "There can be, if I forbode aright, no power, short of the divine mercy, to disclose, whether by uttered words or by type or emblem, the secrets that may be buried with a human heart. The heart making itself gnilty of such secrets must perforce hold them until the day when all hidden things shall be revealed. Nor have I so read or interpreted Holy Writ as to understand that the disclosure of human thoughts and deeds, then to be made, is intended as a part of the retribution. That, surely, were a shallow view of it. No; these revelations, unless I greatly wr, are meant merely to promote the intellectual satisfaction of all intelligent beings, who will stand waiting on that day to see the dark problem of this life made plain. A knowledge of men's hearts will be needful to the completest solution of that problem. And I conceive, moreover, that the hearts holding such miserable secrets as you speak of will yield them up at that last day, not with reluctance, but with a joy unutterable." "I do verily believe it," answered the clergyman. "Nevertheless, I cannot answer for her. There was a look of pain in her face which I wonld gladly have been spared the sight of. But still, methinks, it must needs be better for the sufferer to be free to show his pain, as this poor woman Hester is, than to cover it all tip in his heart."

He said that the name of Reed would sweep the south. "Great Scott, Tom! what does this mean?"

Harrison's Record. For twenty-five years there were names witli which to conjure. It needed little else than a recital of the glorious story of its heroes and a statement of the achievements of the Republican party to retain the confidence of the people But from the desire for change which is charl tcterlstic of free rovernicnits there came » check to the progress of the Republican party Hud four years of Democratic administration These four years largely relegated to the realms of history past issues, and brought us face to face with what Democracy, its profession and its practices mean today. The campaign will be won or lost, not upon the bad record of James Polk or of Franklin Pierce or of James Buchanan—not upon the good record of Lincoln or of Qrant, or of Arthur, or of Hayes, or of Qarfleld. It will be won or lost upon the policy, foreigu and domestic, the industrial measures and the administrative acts of the administration of Benjamin Harrison. Whoever receives the nomination of this convention will run upon the judgment of the people as to wn*' her they have been more prosperous and happy, whether the country has been in a better condition at home and stood more honorably abroad under these last four years of Harrison and Republican administration than during the preceding four years of Cleveland and Democratic government.Not since Thomas Jefferson has any administration been called upon to face and solve so many or such difficult problems as those which have been exigent in onr conditions.

You have no longer time to listen to the reC-ords of our great statesmen. You have come now to to the supreme hour of this convention. Thus far it has been a convention in which a kindly spirit has prevailed upon onr side, and I have no doubt that it is to prevail to the end. and that whatever may be the dictate of thin convention it will be ratified by the whole Republican party and by a majority of the voters of the republic. The portion of the New York delegation which I represent does not come here to make any detraction upon any man in high authority or upon the president. We indulge in nothing of tfliis kind. We uphold the hands of the man whom we put in power by our votes nearly four years ago, but we come here feeling that the candidate that I shall second can do more for us in the great state or New York iu enabling us to achieve victory in November than any other candidate that can be named. Republican majorities in the state of New York are found in th» Interior Counties. 8itire I have been in Minneapolis I have received hundreds of from leading cities of those counties, and they all tell me that the idol of our people there isthe idol that we have held for twenty yefirs, Jamc* G.

And ever after such mi outpouring, oh, what a relief have I witnessed in those sinful brethren! even as in one who at last draws free air after long stifling with his own polluted breath. How can it be otherwise? Why should a wretched man, guilty, we will say, of murder, prefer to keep the dead corpse buried in his own heart rather than fling it forth at once and let the universe take care of it?" "Oh, thank youl How much is your fee?" ir 2-3 Mi-. Settle said lie placed Mr. Reed in nomination at the request, of,hisdelegation without consulting Mr. Reeu or tlie Maine deletion. In deference to the wishes of the Maine delegation, however, he would withdraw the name of Mr. Reed. Mr. Carney, of Iowa, then moved to suspend the rule, and make the nomination unanimous. The rules were suspended by viva voce vote and the nomination piade unanimous. Seuator Cullom having taken the chair, Elliott F. Shepard offered a resolution of cordial thanks to Chairman McKinley and wishing him "increasing usefulness in the service of the country." The resolution was adopted. Resolutions thanking the minor officers of the convention aud the citizens of Minneapolis were passed with enthusiasm. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, offered the usual resolution to make Chairman McKinley the chairman of the committee to notify the candidates.

"Then, to speak more plainly," continued the physician, "and I crave pardon, sir—should it seem to require pardo—for this needful plainness of my speech.

They knew what the vote of Texas meant, and as the "Harrison ii" came out every Harrison man sprang to his feet, yelling like mad. Hats were thrown across the hall and there was great confusion. The band struck up "Hail to the Chief," which only increased the enthusiasm. The delegates went lip and down the aisle shaking hands. Chairman McKinley left the platform, calling Elliott F. Shepard, of New York, to the ciiair. Standing on the seat of an Illinois delegate Major McKinley waved to the galleries aud the convention to be Quiet. Colonel Shepard pounded with his gavel and shouted again and again for order. "Mr. McKinley has the floor," shouted Colonel Shepard. There was a partial silence, and Major McKinley said: "Gentlemen o! the convention, I move that the rules be suspended and that Benjamin Harrison b» nominated president by acclamation." He was a green office boy, and no one minded when he sent down copy to "Mr. Ships," and only the sporting editor got mad when the boy asked the "sporting extra" to step to the telephone. But when be nearly ruined one of the copy readers he got himself disliked. "Only $100. For a professional oculist that is cheap. He sometimes gets $400 for a single operation."

"Because if you had I'd like to deposit the rest of it in his bank. Then you would have it all in the family."—Chicago Tribune. "Yet some men bury their secrets thus," observed the calm physician. "True, there are such men," answered Mr. Dimmesdale. "But, not to suggest more obvious reasons, it may be that they are kept silent by the very constitution of their nature, or—can we suppose it?—guilty, as they may be, retaining nevertheless a zeal for God's glory and man's welfare, they shrink from displaying themselves black and filthy in the view of men, because thenceforward no good can be achieved by them, no evil of the past be redeemed by better service. So, to their own unutterable torment, they go about among their fellow creatures looking pure as new fallen snow while their hearts are all speckled and spotted with iniquity of which they cannot rid themselves." "These men deceive themselves," said Soger Chilling worth, with somewhat more emphasis than usual, and making a •lightgesture with his forefinger. "They fear to take up the shame that rightfully belongs to them. Their love for man, their seal for God's service—these holy impulses may or may not coexist in their hearts with the evil inmates to which their guilt has unbarred the door and which must needs propagate a hellish breed within them. But if they seek to glorify God let them not lift heavenward their unclean hands! If they would serve their fellow men, let them do it by making manifest the power and reality of conscience in constraining them to penitential self abasement! Wouldst thou have me to believe, O wise and pious friend, that a false show can be better— can be more for God's glory and man's "You would tell me then that I know all?" said Roger Chillingworth deliberately, and fixing an eye, bright with intense and concentrated intelligence, on the minister's face. "Be it so! But again! He to whom only the outward and physical evil is laid open knoweth oftentimes but half the evil which he is called upon to cure. A bodily disease, which we look upon as whole and entire within itself, may after all be but a symptom of some ailment in the spiritual part.

Honor to Whom Honor Is Dne. The dollar of the country has been placed and kept in the standard of commercial nations, aud a coin lias been agreed upon with foreign governments which, by making bimetallism the policy of all nations, may successfully solve all our financial problems. The tariff tinkered with and trifled with, to the serious disturbance of trade aud disaster to business, since the days of Washington has been courageously embodied into a code—a code which has preserved 'he' principle of the protection of American industries. To it has been added a baneficeiit policy, supplemented by beneficent treaties and wise diplomacy, which has opened to our farmers and manufacturers the markets of other countries. The navy has Iwen builded upon lines which will protect American citizens and American interests and the American flag all over the world. The public debt has been reduced. The maturing bonds have been paid off. The public credit has been maintained. The burdens of taxation have been lightened. Two hundred millions of currency have been added to the people's money without disturbance of the exchanges. Unexampled prosperity has crowned wise laws and their wise administration.The main question which divides us is. To whom does the credit of all this belong; Orators may stand upon this platform more able and more eloquent than I, who will paint in more brilliant colors, but they cannot put in more earnest thought the affection and admiration of Republicans for our distinguished secretary of state. I yield to no Republican, no matter from which state he hails, in admiration and respect for John Sherman, for Governor McKinley. for Thomas B.

Mr. Cheatham was recognized. He said: On behalf of the Republican party in North Carolina and the 8,0W,(KX) negro citizens of the United States, whose development in twentysix years has surprised the civilized world, I rise to second the nomination of the orator, gallant soldier, one of the ablest and purest statesmen who ever lived to adorn tho atir.a'- of the American history. This gentleman is the Hon. Benjamin Harrison, of the state of Indiana. Four years ago, Mr. President, when the flag of the grand old party was trailing in the dust, and her cause had lieen consigned to the narrow channels of the grave of defeat: when the leaders of the party wei« despond ent, scattering and confused: when it aeemed almost impossible to find a Moses to lDJad tlie party out of tho dark ali»y of Democracy, General Benjamin Harrison larao' and more than triumphantly led the people to success ind victory.

Colonel Shepard, in the chair, triea to put the motion to suspend the rules, holding that this could be done by a two-thirds vote. A delegate stand iug in front of him, and wildly waving his hands, said: "What: During a roll call* Never." Finally out of the confusion Major McKinley got silence for a minute to say that there were states which wanted still to cast their votes and to cast them in the direction of his motion. "That's the whole point," cried n delegata "Thus, a sickness," continued Roger Chillingworth, going on in an unaltered tone without heeding the interruption —but standing up and confronting the emaciated and white cheeked minister with his low, dark and misshapen figure —"a sic kness, a sore place, if we may so call it, in vonr spirit, hath immediately its appropriate manifestation in your bodily frame. Would you therefore that your physician heal the bodily evil? How may this be unless you first lay open to him the wound or trouble in your soul?"

"I therefore withdraw my motion,'1 said Major McKinley. He returned to the platform, and amid confusion, which made the call extremely difficult, the clerk again called Texas. A delegate made an effort to challenge the vote of Texas, and another the vote of Washington, but in the confusion their demands were not heeded. Miss Smilax—Well, not as you are now.—Boston Courier.

"No! not to thee! not to an earthly physician!" cried Mr. Diinmesdale passionately, and turning his eyes, full and bright and with a kind of fierceness, on old Koger ChUlingworth. ".Not to tfiee! But if it be the soul's disease, then do 1 commit myself to the one Physician of the soul! He, if it stand with"his good pleasure, can cure, or he can kill!

Iu the west this habit is generally regarded as effeminate, and many a man who tries to make the change front what is generally considered manly is laughed out of the attempt before he has fairly got into the habit. But in the east this feeling is evidently dying out, and the tendency to a parting iu the, center is getting very general—so general, indeed, that if the craze continues to grow long at its present rate one will begin to locate a man's home by the way he parts his hair instead of by the way be talks. Representative Nelson Dingley, Jr., ol Maine, said, "The real Blaine men" (emphasizing the word "real"), "accept the result cordially." At 4:otD the chairman rapped for order, and said that Senator In galls had sent to the desk a resolution. It provided that th6 secretary of the convention shall prepare a full report of the proceedings of the national conventions of 185(5, isti(), J 804 and of the present convention, and cause them to be sold at the cost of priuting.

Trust me, such men deceive themselves!" "It may be bo," said the young clergyman indifferently, as waiving a discussion that he considered irrelevant or unseasonable. He had a ready faculty, indeed, of escaping from any topic that agitated his too sensitive and nervous temperament. "But, now, I would ask of my well skilled physician whether in good sooth he deems me to have profited by his kindly care of this weak frame of mine?" "Do you know if Mr. Blaine ever con sented to the use of his name in the conven tion?" was asked. 8otto Vofn, "1 know that he did not," said Mr. Dingley impulsively, and then more cautiously, "that is, I have a positive belief that Mr. Blaine gave no consent whatever in any way, unless by silence, to the use of his name " Senator Hale, of Maine, said: "It's an right. ■ Of course we of Maine wanted Blaine first, but Harrison is our second choice. There'll lx; no soreness down east over the turning dowu of Blaine. We'll al) go iu and do our best for the nominee." Nine-tenths of the human race can part the hair more conveniently in the center than on either side, and hair so parted will keep smooth and tidy several hours longer than when brushed from either the right or left. When a man has what is known as a "double crown," the only way he can keep his hair reasonably smooth is to keep it cut very short or part it in the middle. If he lives in the west he generally adopts the former alternative, even if he catches unlimited colds in consequence, but if ha is an eastern man he is more likely to adopt the easier plan of parting his hair like a girl, as the severe critic is apt to call the middle parting style.—Interview in St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"There is nothing lost. We shall be friends again anon. But see, now, how passion takes hold upon this man and hurrieth him out of himself! As with one passion, so with another! He hath done a wild thing ere now, this pious Master Dimmesdale, in the hot passion of his heart!" longs exclusively to the secretary of state, for the administration of its finances to the secretary of the reasury, for the construction of its ships to the secretary of the navy, for the introduction of American pork in Europe to the secretary of agricult ure, for the settlement so far as it is settled ot the currency question to Senator John Sherman, for the formulation of the tariff laws to Governor McKinley, for the removal of the restrictions placed by foreign nations upon the introduction of American i»ork to our ministers at Paris and Berlin.
