Isn't it rather getting things mixed

"May God help me while I preach,

Philadelphia can't bear the thought
of not being up in the classics, and to
prove it wants those Harvard boys to
come over and regale 'em with"(Edi

editorially takes in the gamut of lan
guages. The Philadelphia Record says: "It is
a rather interesting fact that the oldest
and nearest descendant in this country
of that sturdy old Quaker, Wm. Perm,
is an officer in the United States army.

True, too true. A very old and,

Dick Badger, at the anti-prohibition

Read Jufcters'Conventlon Excitement
Over the Tote.
Richmond, Va., June 3. In the Re
adjusters' convention last night a mo
tion to drop the lowest candidate was
rejected. The second ballot was fin
ished at 12.30 a. m. It resulted, Camer
on 287, Massey 245, Wise 105, Green 101.
After the second ballot, H. H. Riddle
berger's name was presented to the
convention and received with "great
applause. Riddleberger came to the
front and stated that while not a can
didate before the convention, he thought
the office should seek the man. Gen.
Mahone was next named amidst the
wildest enthusiasm. Capt J no. S. Wise,
one of the nominees, then addressed
the convention, earnestly appealing to
the convention to sacrifice everything
for the good of the party ; not to con
sider men, and, with this object in
view, he urged an adjournment which,
amid great confusion and excitement
was agreed to and the convention at
1.10 a. m. adjourned until 10 a. m. to
day. The Readjusters' State convention
met this morning 10.15 o'clock, the
president, J no. Paul, in the chair. Im
mediately after the convention was
called to order, Capt Richard A. Wise,
of Williamsburg, who last night nomi
nated Gen. Mahone, said he had done
so without that gentleman's consent
and now desired to withdraw the nom
ination. The convention then proceed
ed with the third ballot the result of
which was announced at' 12 o'clock as
follows: Groner 104, Cameron 291, Mas
say 257, Wise 88; whole number of
votes cast, 745; necessary to a choice,
372. In this ballot a number of votes
were cast for H. H. Riddleberger, which
were subsequently changed at the in
stance of that gentleman, who briefly
addressed the convention, thanking the
delegates who had complimented him,
and at the same time saying that he
thought it was understood that he was
not a candidate and that his name was
not to be considered. He hoped, how
ever, that now his friends would feel
themselves relieved of any and all ob
ligations to support him. A resolution
was here introduced to drop the lowest
candidate on each successive ballot and
that candidates dropped should not be
re-nominated until one ballot has in
tervened. This gave'rise to an excited
debate which, amid great confusion,
was put an end to by the main ques
tion being ordered, by .which the reso
lution was adopted by an overwhelm
ing majority. At this point several
delegations favoring the nomination of
Gen. Mahone asked leave to withdraw
ten minutes for conference which was
granted and business was temporarily
suspended.
Later. The Readjusters nominated
Cameron for Governor and ex-United
States Senator John A. Lewis for Lieutenant-Governor.

"Albert Von Schlichting, a Prussian
nobleman very much run down at the
heel, who resided in Milwaukee for a
year or more, suicided in St Paul Sun
day by taking poison. His dead body
was found at the door of ..hist divorced
wife's residence; 'It was a tragic end
ing of a tumultuous life; - Von ISchlich
ting went to St, Paul five or six years
ago bearing the credentials of Prus
sian gentleman and the evidences of a
commission in the imperial army. Be
ing dependent upon his own efforts for
a support,: he secured, a position as
teacher in the German Lutheran school
here, Of which Adolph Parr was one of
the managing directors. Mr. Parr be
friended the fascinating young foreign
er, who f reciprocated by robbing his
benefactor of his daughter against .pa
ternal protest. Forgiven for his tres
pass, he secured service from his father-in-law's
firm and betrayed the trust
by embezzling their funds. Then he
indulged in social sins until his wife
procured a divorce, and nothing was
seen of him in St Paul until a few
days ago. In the meantime Schlicbting
lived a very dissipated life in Milwau
kee, and the last -heard of him was
when last year he made a brief notorie
ty by capturing a burglar that had bro
ken into a saloon at No. 1 Grand Ave
nue. He was keeping bar for Sc.hwindt,
the then proprietor". Schlicnting led a
wild, dissipated life in this city, and
for the last few months he has been as
sociating with the vilest slums, of the
city. The young man was of good fam
ily, his father being a retired major in
the Prussian army and residing with
his daughter at Dresden. He early ac
quired dissipated habits, and, though
he evidently loved his wife, he was
false to all his vows to her, until pa
tience ceased to be a virtue, and she se
cured a divorce from him. When
found, his wife's photograph, worn and
tear-stained; was taken from an inside
Eocket The stricken lady had ex
austed every artifice to redeem the
wayward man, and he seems to have
given up in. despair, .himself terminat
ing his tempestuous career. The fol
lowing pathetic note was found among
the effects of the suicide. It was not
addressed or dated, but was intended
for his late wife. It is in German, and
but a part of it could be deciphered :
"Once more, farewell; and I beg the
forgiveness of those I have injured. I
hope you will not deny to the dead
what you haye refused to the living.
Only a few hours of life are before me,
and then I shall die with my face to
ward you and begging your pardon.
It is hard for me to part from you ; but
I cannot live without you, and now, at
the point of death, I tell you the half of
what has been said is not true. Fare
well to thee."

The millers of Great Britain are be
coming" seriously alarmed at the pros-
Eect of their trade being monopolized
y the mills of the United States and
the Continent By way of endeavoring
to maintain their prestige and their
profits, Which can only be done through
the introduction of improved processes
and the best machinery, they are hold
ing an international exhibition of such
machinery, and its products in the great
Agricultural Hall, London, which is
very largely attended and well stocked.
That the alarm of the British millers is
not wholly groundless the London
Times shows by statistics of the amount
of home-grown and imported wheat
and flour used in the United Kingdom
for six years past These show that
whereas the quantity of flour coming
from the States was only 1,772,000 hun
dredweight in. 1876, it was 3,635,000 hun
dredweight in 1878, rose to 6,863,000
hundredweight in 1879, and nearly
reached 7,000,000 hundredweight last
year; and with the mills of Minnesota
alone turning out 6,000,000 barrels of
flour yearly, and the mills of other
Western States 15,000,000 more, the
prospect for a falling off in the amount
of flour imported into England is not
good. The Times also shows that the
quality of the American product is al
most equally in the van with its quan
tity, and says on the point of mechani
cal perfection : "The most significant
feature is the stride made by the Ameri
cans toward eclipsing all Europe, if it
be possible, in the quality of their flour
and the economy and perfection of
their grinding. Even in Minneapolis
and St. Louis the system of milling
deemed quite satisfactory no longer
than two years ago is at the present
moment being remodelled in order to
obtain greater mechanical efficiency in
the treatment of varied qualities of
f rain and to secure in the products a
igher percentage of the finest and
whitest flour."
