' Chicago, Jtffie Sth. The greates
scene which ever oecnrree in anation;
al convention took place between
12 and 2 o clock this mormnir,
amouniiiu? almost to a battle be
tween the contendincr factions.
' Tjoho; John "Wentworih Bays ' he
Aas Jiever Been anytnnur njte it xn
lortr Years, and Piilet, a California
delecute, declared it looked like
scene of terror from the French rev
olution
It was so Drolon&red and excited
ihat the coolest men were dazed aid
stood terror ftricketi ia their seats.
Hen and woraea-went into hysteri.es,
and rushed around and shouted like;
maniacs. People who heard the
rush and roar fiv e blocks away crowd
d into the conventiorfTSltho at tick
ets, as the poMee seemed too mctch
startled, to detain; any .one.
i ir would seem that- tne anrmai
spirits and wonderful lunp; power o:
the convention were reserved, after
all, for -the closing debate on the
eiglxfeea anti-Grant contestants from
Bliiibi. Matters were -comparative
ly qmet during the speeches, although
the speakers ..pa each side spoke
wltfC xnore than usuaj" bower. But
when Emery Storrs, ofChicago, the
last oi-tfie f urj took his stand 'on
the 1edg of tbe press platform and
proceeaea in ma peculiarly eoqHent
style to . laugh down the axgumenis
Of hisopponentsvthe enthumasmjn
creased each seeond. When, impr
vinfir 'his advantage, ajad in a voice
that overcame the accoostic diffieul'
ties of the halL he spoke of Blaine
and told the supporters of that preXu-
tleman- to nominate im if they
could, the tempest opened in good
earnest with stirring cheers and loud
verbal interruptions from the gallery.
Mr. Storrs, turning to the cheering
crowd, said: "And when the gen
tfemen who are cheering in the
gallery to-nignt are reposing un
der the soft - summer sky, tired
of politics and disgusted with
its fatigues, yon. will find the follow
era of the grand old silent soldier
ajvrake by their camp-fires, and carry
ing the banner of the sluggard for
ward to triumph."
"HELL BBO&E LOOSE."
At the conclusion of the closing
sentence, "Hell or something that
very closely resembled that territo
ry," says the Chicago Times, "broke
loose, beginning on the east side of
tne hail, spreading to the floor, and
finally inefctirig every part of the
vast audience until it seemed to hare
gone absolutely mad lor tne time
being. The adherents of both the
renowned candidates vied with each
other, in roaring like wild bulls, or
perhaps it might be true to say like
an immense band of wild Indians,
sounding their ferocious war-whoops
at a gigantic scalp dance."
lhe delegates from the different
States and Territories seized their
banners and waved them on high,
while everybody on the floor and in
the galleries waved handkerchiefs, or
hats, or umbrellas, or sticks, or what
ever they could lay their hands on
to indicate, their preferences. The
threeuarters of an hour without of
ficial . mterrtrption, sounded like the
storm of the. battlefield itself, f
conspicuous among tne leaders
were rxoscoe Uonkixng, Liong Jonn
Wentworth, and John Logan on the
floor, and Bob Ingersoll and Mr.
Conger on the platform. The flash
ing eyes and 8carlef" faces of the ex
cited niultitude showed to "what a
pitch of passion the once cool and
dignified republican party had come.
WILD WOMEN, TOO. '
Even womanhood for time lost
its delicacy and dignity, and showed
as much insanity, standing on chairs
and flourishing Hymbolfiy as the: men
themselves. They were few,' of
course, in proportion to, .the number
of "women who sat there awed and
amazed by the Titanic uproar
i Ten thosand people were on their
feet, standing upon tables and chairs
and the backs of benches, Waving
handkerchiefs, canes, hats umbrellas,
overcoats, papers in f aci everything
that could be seen or used to add to
the confusion and excitement.. The
flags, with which the building is dec
orated, was torn o:own ana wave a
aloft. Crazy womeii tore off their
bbunets, and swung them by their
strings ; and crazy men pulled , their
coats from their shoulders and
waved them in the air: j The noise
was absolutely deafening I and no one
knows, till he bears it, how much,
noise IOjQOQ beople make, shottting t !
the tops of iheir IttngSj jjotrndig the
floor with thejr feTt, arid banging the
resonant pine benches with boards
torn from the backs and arms. It
was bedlam, and beyond bedlam. It
Was like nothing that was ever seen
or described, and any attempt tq de
scribe it would be a failure. ' i
One woman on the stage, a Mrs,
Deane, of New Jersey, '! crazed with
the excitement, tore dowA taga find
ok themu ihs m ohe flnaUy
plhiibed" to the pedestal of the GrOd
djass of liberty, that stands behind
the chairman's desk, and there con
spicuously to all the audience she
swung her flags tind screamed at the
top of her voice. 'She. wa: finally ta

senator Uonkling stood upon a
chair, and waved the banner, which;
hanging upon a pole, was placed to
marie the seats of the New York del
egation. When his arms were tired
with' holding this , Jieavy banner, he
waved' his hat' intone band and his
handkerchief in " the other. The dig
nified gentleman 'in the New York
delegation shouted with the Sena
tor in the Pennsylvania delegation.
General Beaver waved his crutches
in the air, and Senator Cameron
swung his hat, standing on top of a
chair. Ijorig John Wentworth's
huge body and conspicuous : head
rose up among the Illinois delegates
like a giant among pigmies. 1 He
stood, upjDSPbair for twenty mhv
utes, with . hisl cane in one hand and
his old brown hat on the end of it,
and his red hemmed handkerchief in
the other, forgetting all parliamentary
deoorum. j--:' ,:.-;

ening turmoil to attend to .the busi

pubhe. It was midnight when the
first thunder peal was heard, and it
was half an hour after 1 o'clock when
the chairman began to show that he
still lived by hammering his desk
with the formidable gaveL He could
not succeed, however, immediately,
because the delegates from Maine,
California, Nebraska, Nevada, Kan
sas, Virginia and New Mexico, bear
ing aloft the banners which designa

confusion, marched around the halL
PEACE AT LAST.
Doubtless the disorder would have
lasted " all night . had not General
Baum, with an unexpected sagacity,
proposed three cheers for the victo
rious candidate. This parting volley
of sounds seemed to satisfy the fren
zied assemblage, and Mr. Storrs con
cluded his speech in careful senten-
res fearful that he might create an
other scene tike the one' which he
had so1 ably succeeded in producing.
There "never was, and perhaps, un
less in the same body, possibly never
will "be such another spectacle. In
fact the scene put Grant and Blaine
m nomination, and the speeches af
ter this will be tame in comparison.

The Bible-
The Bible, aside from the factor of
divine agency in its authorship, is
the insoluble enigma of the literary
world It well may be. Think of it !
It is the oldest book upon the earth,
still read among men: going back
beyond the Roman or the Greek lit
erature; going back farther than
any other, mparts of it, toward the
time when the waters of the
of the deluge subsided from the hills
of Western Asia; farther than any
other toward the very morning of
creation, when the sons of God
shouted for joy. Yet its vitality
continues, and its power over the
human mind remains unwasting It
is a large book. It sets its stately
front for two millenniums along the
lines of chronology, history, biogra
phy, philosophy, and human science.
It challenges assault at ten thousand
points. It says to science, "Search
the strata beneath, and the stars
above, and find a God more equal to
the problems of the universe than
Him I reveal!" It says to philoso
phy, "r ind anything in human na
tore, any power or any passion, any
mean inclination or sublime possibil
ity, of which I do not give the mani
festation and the explanation !" Thus'
challenging assaolL ami opening its
line along the whole extent of it to
any endeavor to overthrow it, it re-
mains the most remarkable of books
How an Arab Lady Ferfomes Her
self.
In the floor of the tent or hut, as
it may chance to be, a small hole is
excavated sufficiently large to contain
a common champagne bottle; a 'fire
of charcoal or of simply glowing em
bers is made within the hole, into
which the woman about to be scented
throws a handfull of drugs. She
then takes off the cloth or "tope"
which forms her dress and Crouches
naked, oyer the fumes, while she ar
ranges her robe to fall as a mantle
from her neck to the ground like a
tant. She now begins to perspire
freely in. the hot-air bath, and the
pores of the skin being thus opened
and moist, the volatile on irom- tne
smoke of the burning perfumes is
immediately absorbed. By the time
that the fire has expired the Bcenting
process is completed, and bft& her
person and her, vobe are redolent
with incense, with which they are so
thoroughly impregnated that I have
frequently smelt a party of , women
strongly at full a hundred yards dis
tance when the wind has been blow-

wholly mendaciouSr -report about
wild cats. ,
" w itn reierence . to the wampy
part i of Lake - Wingahicken, your
committee were nxuch struck, as they
went over upon; stilts, with its extra
ordinary fertility in . the matter of
bullfrogs. If bullfrogs' commanded
a dollar apiece' : in ' market,5 f enough
money could at once be '' obtained,, in
the swamp to pay for excavating the
mountain. v Two pound - bullfrogs,
with legs like a pair of fire-tongs
and voices like that' of a trambone.
were found in myriads; and the chair
man of your committee was assailed,
during his passage through the
swamp by what he; at first ; thought
was a watermelon with legs, but
which turned out to be a frog of un
usually savage ferocity.
"The swamp is even more rich in
mosquitos. These range in size from
an ordinary mosquito to a spring
chicken. The secretary of the com
mittee captured one of the!1 largest,
and upon our return to the hotel it
was pitted' against a Brahmapootia
rooster that weighed seven ' pounds.
At the end of the 'third round the
rooster wis dragged off dead and
the mosquito could only be kept
from attacking yomV rmmittee by
knocking it in the head with' an ax.
It will be stuffed and sent .on to the
Smithsonian Institute. Most per
sons will probably mistake . ,it for 'a,
singularly fine specimen of the Amer
ican bald eagle.
"If it shall be decided to build a
new State with the material excavated
from Lake Wingahicken, 'your com
mittee could guarantee " that the
young commonwealth should have a
fair start as far as the blackberries,
bullfrogs, mTisiroitoSj bears and man
ufacturers of liars about wild cats are
conceHiedaw. as'2. vi.neru
"Of course this swamp could ' be
dug out so ai to make a channel of
sufficient depth for frigates f but ; as
there is not enough water now in the
swamp to float a mud-scow,- and as
the nearest t stream ; is eight miles
distant; either Congress wlU have to i
pass at law compelling the flood gates
of Heaven to stay perpetually " open
over tbe bkesbr as to keep it fuU, or
else some arrangement wiU have to be
made for frigates navigating the lake
to carry their own water with them.
In dry weather- the surface of the
lake is apt to be so dusty as to choke
tile bullfrogs, or to make them flat
in their high notes.- Your , commit
tee throw oat the suggestion ihat -if
Congrese feels any solicitude for
these national bullfrogs a boy might
be kept in the lake in summer, tame
to moisten; the surface with a sprink

"Your committee inquired closely
respecting the appropriation of $150,
000 which was alleged to have been
spent ; last year -for dredging ' the
lake. They were able to come up on
tracts only i part of it. Eleven dollars
oi it were given to a colored man who
undertook the Work with a long-
handled shovel and a wheelbarrow,
He seems to have become discour
aged, and knocked off, upon hearing
a calculation that if he stock; steadi
ly to the work, he would - probably
be able to eomplete it in 11,000
years. Two dollars, and seventy-five
cents were given to a man. who killed
a pole-cat, which made the mountain
smell at a distance of twenty nuies.
Eight hundred dPjkrs. wera hvid out
in hre worts, aacfc' capppa, as tne

of the joy with which the people of
the, district greeted the arrival of the
appropriation. Seventy dollars ad
