Yesterday's train carried a couple whose lives are seldom heard of except in romances. They were Mr.

and Mrs. Heniy J. Holmes, the wife for many years a resident of Prairie City, Iowa, and the husband ranked with the California "forty-niners." Eighteen years ago after the usual courtship, the couple become engaged, the young lady agreeing to wait until such time as her lover's financial circumrtances should jusfify the performance of the marriage ceremonies. At that time Mr. Holmes was on a visit to his peo pie, and returned shortly to California, in the hope that his second visit to the Golden state might be more prosperous than the first one.

His return was frequently promised during the succeeding five or six years, but the fickle dame fortune always played false.

The hope that my election would hasten this much desired hegira of tkieving carpet-baggers, has reconciled them to the necessity of supporting me many who would otherwise have hes tiUd and probably refused. Fellow citizens: The deposed and partially exiled Tammany ring has stolen about thirty millions from the city of New York. That was a most gigantic robbery, and hurled its contrivers and abetters from splendor to impotencyand infamy. the thieving carpet-baggers have stolen least three times that amount and st-den ii, from an already impoverished and needy people.

For these great ends I have struggled, and 1 hope the issue is not doubtful. I thoroughly comprehend that no personal consideration has drawn this vast assembly other higher Mid grander considerations have collected von arround nie together. It is a part of the unwritten law of cur country that a candidate Jfor President may not make speeches in vindication and commendation of the principles whereuppon he is surported, or of the measures which his election is in-leii ind to promote, though a candidate lor Vice-President is under no such in-liibil ioij. I acquisce in this restriction i ir.

and atliirm its propriety. Tin to inisreport and misrepresent a candidate for the higher post is so great, the means of circulating such perversion among people who will never see a word of their refutation, so vast, that a candidate has no moral right to subject his friends to the perila he must brave, if not invite, by taking a part in the canvass yet there a truth to be uttered in behalf of those yln have placed me before the American people in my present ati-tude, which does them such honor that we claim the privilege of stating it here now, This is the truth: NO CLAIMANTS FOK OKKICK. No person has ever yet made the fact Jrnown th.it he proposed to support or did support my nomination, whether at Cincinnati or Baltimore, or in any action which resulted in sending delegates to cither convention as basis to claim for office at my hand. No one who favored my nomination before either convention, or at cither ((invention, has sought office at my hands, cither for himself or any one else, nor has any one suggested to me that I might strengthen mysidf us a candidate by promising to appoint any one to any important oflice whatever, (n a very tew inst.inces less than a dozen, I am sure cerLaiu of tin1 smaller fry of politicians have, since my double nomination, hinted to me by letter that might increase my chances of election by promising a post-oll'ice or soinesuch I dace to my volunteer correspondents respectively. 1 hare not usually re-ponded to' these overtures, but I now give general notice that, should I be lected, 1 will consider the claims of tliese untimely aspirants after those of the more modest and reticent persons door, and making a low bow, said: "Sir, master presents his kind compliments, hopes you fire well, and requests your acceptance of a small present." Does he?" replied the boy.

"jteturn him my best thanks, and there's half a crown for yourself." The Dean, thus caught in his own trap, laughed heartily, and gave the boy a crown for his ready wit.

During all this time not word of complaint came from his betrothed.

She remained constant. After getting his money together, Mr. Holmes visited Iowa for the purpose of making the sweetheart a wife. A girl who had proven so true to a lover could not well prove false to any one, and when one of her brothers, was pronounced consumptive, she was not long in announcing her determination to stay by him and administer to his wants. Mr.

Holmes told him of the wonderful air of California, and used all his means to induce him to go there, but without avail. The failing man was determined upon never leaving the old home stead, under whose roof his father and mother had passed from earth. The sister's duty was plain, and she met it as a true woman would. The pledge as of constancy were renewed, the lover returned to California, feeling keenly the truth of the sentiment: "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick." He gave his undivided attention to business, meeting with good success in all his undertakings, and to day is worth over a hundred thousand dollars. In the meantime the seperated lovers corresponded regularly.

The invalid brother at times was thought to be on the high road to health, and at others very near deatn's door. But for many months he had steadily declined, and when the last springtime nrsherd in the green leaves and the singing birds, he was laid to rest. A few weeks ago Mr. Holmes made another visit to Iowa. 1 1 A A Word About Proof Heading.

Every column of a newspaper contains from ten to twenty thousand distinct pieces of metal, according to the size of the paper and type. The displacement of a single one makes an error. Is it any wonder that errors occur In large ollices professional pi oof readers are kept, whose practiced eyes passing twice over every line of proof, detect most of the errors, a boy also kept for the same purpose at the same time reading the copy aloud. Still mistakes are frequently occurring after coming from such hands, and probably no newspaper or book ever was yet published without errors that might be detected by the merest novice. In book printing it is estimated that proof reading costs half as much as composition.

In country of Stop the Interest. Webster once dined with an old Boston merchant, and when they came to the wine a rusty old bottle was carefully decanted by Peter and passed to the host. Taking the bottle he poured out Mr. Webster's glass and handrd it to him. Then pouring out another for himself, he held it to the light and said: "How do you like it, Mr.

Webster?" "I think it is a fine specimen of old Port." "Now you can't guess what that cost me said the host. said Mr. Webster, "I only know that it is excellent." "Well, now I can tell you, for I made a careful estimate the other day. When I add the interest to the lirst price, I lind that it cost me just one dollar and twenty cents per glass." "(rood gracious you don't say so," said Mr. Webster; and then draining his glass he hastily presented it again with the remark, "Fill it up again as quick as you can, for I want to stop that confounded interest.

Supposing your age to lie fifteen years or thereabouts, I can figure you up to a dot.

At each bat a little over two oun-ies of blood is thrown out of it and each day it receives and discharges about sever tons of that wonderful fluid. Your lungs will contain a gallon of air, and you inhale 21,000 gallons per day. The aggregate-surface of the air celis of your lungs, supposing them to b- spread out. exceeds 20,000 squa re inches. The weight of your brain is three pounds, when you are a man it will weigh about eight ounces more.

Here is an anecdote told by one minister about another. A certain presiding elder, who was noted for being seldom up to time, seldom very animated and seldom very brief, once kept a congregation waiting a longtime for his appearance, and when ut last he did come, he preached them a very prosy sermon of unusual length, on the text, "Feed my Lambs." He had not yet finished when the original old minister, known as "Camp-meeting John," rose from a seat in the congregation and said "Brother I have had some experience in raising lambs myseif, and I have found that the following rules are absolute essential to successful lamb-raising.

Professor Faraday adopts Flourins' physiological theory that the age of man is one hundred years. The duration of life is believed to be measured by the time of growth.

A seedy individual went into a store in Detroit, the other day, wiped his weaping eyes, pulled out a greasy Bible, and requested a clerk to purchase the sacred volume.
