FROM SAN FRANCISCO. 1 he Hritish ship Huddinctonnhire Ashore at Point Reyes. San Francisco, Aug. 20. It ia reported that the British ship Had dingtonshire, front Astoria, Oregon, for Liverpnol. with a cargo of flour and salmon is ashore of Point Keyes, 40 miles north of thia port, and that 18 lives have been lost. Later—The Mori hant*' Exchange has just received the billowing particulars of the loss of the British *h p Had lirgtonshire. The vessel left Astoria, July 16, and htd got d iwn aa far as the equator when th- was struck by a heavy gale which so disabled her as to oblige the captain to put back to San Fran cisco for n-pair*. In that gale she lost 4 seamen and her chronometer. When off this port last night encountered a heavy fog and while groping around ran on the rocks near Point Beyers at three this morning. The vessel and cargo are a total wreck. All on board except one aailor and cabin boy were drowned. The cargo consisted of 12.000 barrels of flour, valued at 850,000 and 17, 700 cant ot aalmon, valued at 854.000. Had dingtonshire was a new iron vessel and owned by J. A. Shepherd of Glasgow.

The tub committee on res dutions appointed Wednesday evening, remained in session until 5 o'clock this morn the being unable to ayree thev turned the matter over to the full committee and the committee will probably not be able to re port to the convention before noon. Other proceedings of the convention are of a routine nature and will be readily disposed of. The convention was called to order at 10.15 this morning. The committee on permanent organisation reported the Hon. John H. Fnllett of Cincinnati for chairman, and the Hon George W. Hull for permanent secre tary.

Geddet concluded by moving a suspension nf the rules and the nomination of Gov. Hoadly by acclamation Gen. Michael Kyan of Cincinnati followed, seconding the motion. When the motion was put the vote was unanimous and enthusiastic, with the exception of a few voices from the Hamilton county delegation. After a committee had been appointed to wait on Gov. Hoadlev and bring him before the convention. W V. Marquis of Hagan county presented the name of John G. War wuk of Massillon, for renomination for lieutenant governor. The motion was im mediately put and carried amid great ap plause. Before proceeding further with the nottil naiions, G >v Hoadlv was introduced amid much enthusiasm, and explained why he had not been an outspoken candidate for the mini ination. Charles 1).

A St. Louis man charged with the per petration of a peculiarly atrocious murder is visited in his cell in one day by the Mayor and Council, Secretary of State, four clergymen and twenty-two women, besides being engaged as contributor to a family newspaper. The intimation that Mr. Keiley, is to draw his salary—312,000 per year—as minister to Austria until he grows weary of the joys of Paris and comes home and resigns, is a cheerful one; cheerful lor Keiley. He will probably not be in any hurry to come home, and when finally he does so, he will en route call on Lord Tennyson and congratulate him on having written that "The jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that Honor feels.” Under the rules of practice heretofore prevailing in the general land office, only a party in interest can bring a contest re garding a land claim, except in the case of abandoned homestead or forfeited claims. An important change has been made, ex tending to everybody the privilege of initiating contests against the party to any entry, filing or other claim, for any suffi cient cause, affecting the legality or vali dity of the claims. The new rule may be necessary, but it can hardly fail to greatly increase litigation. The treasury officials are well satisfied with the general result of their efforts to force the minor silver coin into circula tion. a reduction of some $300,000 having been made in the amount held by the treasury during the last month, in addi tion to the $0,000,000 taken by the New York Clearing House Association. At San Francisco the experiment being tried has been especially successful. The issue has averaged about $10,000 a day. while previously there had been no demand whatever tor minor silver coin. (Jeronimo’s band isdwindling away.and (Jeronimo himself is now carrying a bul let from a soldier’s ritle. There were onlv 34 male Indians in the band when it left the San Carlos Reservation, and belove Lieut. Hay found the marauders’ camp, on the 7th inst., as reported Wednesday, ten or a dozen of them had been killed. The chief has escaped, but he has lelt three dead warriors behind him. and the troops have raptured his wives and chil dren. It maybe observed that the soldiers take no male captives. It is not probable that (Jeronimo or any of his followers will ever apply tor admission to the reser vation at San Carlos. The captain of the steamer Polynesia, having been caught in a cyclone.'and his vessel having sustained much damage from phenomenally heavy seas, thought of using oil to keep down the sea, and ap plied it with considerable success. He slung an oil tank over the side of the ship ahd allowed it t« leak. Ot course the film of oil, spreading over the water all round the vossel, would have a tendency to pre vent the waves from breaking within the circle so eausod. The oil could not affect the formation of the gigantic waves whose impact threatened to crush in the steamer's deck, but it tended to make such waves pass under and beyond the vessel instead of breaking on her side or deck. The Polynesia perhaps owed her satety mainly if not altogether to this device, and see ing how frequently oil has thus been em ployed with good effect, it is somewhat strange that it is not more generally used for the purpose ot preserving a measur ably quiet area around vessels when the sea is dangerously high. The world will soon know whether or not loaded ships can he safely and profita bly lifted out ot their element and carried across an isthmus upon a railwav. Ves sels plying between the Gult of St. Law rence and the ports ot our northeastern seaboard are now compelled, of course, to go around the peninsula of Nova Scotia. About 300 miles would be saved if they could use a canal across the narrow neck that connects that peninsula with the mainland of New Brunswick. It was once proposed that a canal should be made there, but now a ship railway is to be built on the line of the proposed water way. Work has already been begun upon this railway, and it will be carried on by an English company whose President is Lord Brabourue. and whose chiet engineer is John Fowler, who built the London Underground Railroad. It may be that Capt. Eads will find by and by in the Do minion the strongest of arguments to sup port his project for an interoceanic ship railway on the isthmus of Tehuantepec. Where m Tapeworm was Found A day or two aince Mr Warren, a farmer residing a few mile* from Oregon Ofay, killed a lamb. After completing the job he acci dentally dropped hia koite and cat a hole in the intestines, when he aaw a tapeworm pro trading. He extracted it and found it oxer 30 feet to length. He laid the d:*guating creature aside, and it dried up to a thin mem brane and was broken up and blown away by the wind. He haa been killing aheep for many years, and nexer aaw or heard of a tapeworm io one before, and would like to kDow if any one has. The lamb wa* in good condition, and to all appearance healthy. The tapeworm is found in human beings, doga. hogs, cata, Ac but waa not supposed to exist in herbiverous animals. It is a xery singular creature, existing in the alimentary canal of animals and absorbing its nourish ment from the digested food around it. When it has obtained its growth, joints of it filled with eggs break off and escape, acsttering an immense number of germs in alt sorts of places. When one of these eggs is accident ally swallowed bx some animal it docs not develop into a tapeworm, as might be sup posed, l^ut into an embryo, arm* d with bor ing hooks, which makes its way into the muscles of the animal and constructs a little ceil or cyst, where it remains, and is nour ished by the juices of its host. When the flesh in which this embryo lies is eaten by some other animal, it then develops into a tapeworm. The tapeworm in man commonly comes from an embryo iu hog flesh.and hence the great danger of raw or half-cooked pork. Portland Oregonian, Aug. 11. A Story About Louis Napoleon’s Plans. Col. Henry W. Cleveland, well known as a journalist in Georgia and aa the biographer of Alexander H. Stephens, said one day: “The death of Louis Napoleon perhaps changed the whole course of my life.” “In what way?” “Well, I was in London short ly after the ex-emperor arrived at Chiselhurst from his German prison. I was known in Londen as a veteran Confederate officer, and a proposition was made to me to accompany Louis Napoleon, with a picked force in a sec ret and sudden descent upon France.” “An other return from Elba affair?” “Something like it. I agreed, and the arrangements were progressing when the illustrious exile be came too ill to carry out his project. Perhaps it was just as well for me, but I have always wondered what the result would have been. If successful, it is possible that I would have been decorated with the Legion of Honor cross and made a general or a marshal of France.—Atlanta Constitution. Harrison’s Tomb. A movement is on foot to erect a monu ment over the tomb of ex-President Harrison, which is at North Bend, Ind., near Cincinnati. It is on a natural mound in the midst of a cow pasture, and it overlooks the Ohio river A dilapidated board fence, inclosing a space 50 feet square, separates the burial place from the pasture field. Within the inclosure are two or three old cedar trees. The tomb it self is a structure of brick, all under ground except the gables, and it is covered with a roof of shingles that are now dilapidated and rotten. Even the brick walls that show above the ground are covered with a green mould. A sloping cellar door covers the steps which descend to a vault, and even these doors of iron, exposed to the summer rains and winter snows, are eaten through with rust. How Prisonera Get Liquor. A Oonsliohocken woman visited the Norris town jail and brought a roasted chicken along for one of the prisoners. The warden ex amined the basket and noticed a slight uneas iness on the part of the visitor when he handled the fowl. Taking out his knife he ripped the chicken up and discovered that it was stuffed with a half-pint bottle of gin. The visitot, with her ba-ket and its contents, was summarily ejected. Some vcars ago a stuffed goose was brought to the Easton jail for one of the prisoners, and before 8 o’clock that night the recipient became drunk and chal lenged the warden to a stand-up fight. The prisoner’s cell was examined, and a quart bottle, nearly empty, was found in the dead fowl's body.—Lthigh Ktgisttr. Aug. 17. Personal. It is stall'd that Mme.

At the entertainment given in Portland, llendershot was introduced by Hon. Freder ick Kobie. His Excellency said “I have the honor to introduce to you Robert H. llendershot, known throughout this nation, as ‘‘the drummer boy of the Rap pahannock." He represents a remarkable military history, and his braverj and heroism is worthv of emulation by the youth of our land. He enlisted at the early age of twelve years as a drummer boy in a Michigan regi ment, but afterwards changed his service to the use of the unerring rifle of a soldier, which he practiced with signal effect, and to night he appears before you bearing the marks of honorable wounds.

It pays to stack straw well. Are the harvest tools housed? Briers cut now will receive a severe check. Wet mack is usually about nine-tenths water. Wire worms are not the cause of scaley potatoes. Take time to decide what kind of wheat yon had better sow. In the heat ot summer see that the fowls have plenty of fresh water. Have yon bought the flock of sheep you thought of fattening? Don't delay. Nature manures on the surtace—remem ber this and don't bury manure ten inches deep. We know one larmer who raises a hun dred acres ot timothy or more annually for seed, and it pays him well. Keep the surface of the wheat field mel low, to preserve the moisture and thus aid the seed to vegetate readily. Above all else allow no weeds to foul the land by seeding. Examine the second crop clover for midge if these larv® are present, make hay of the crop, and thus add to your sup ply of feed, instead ol harvesting for seed when there can be none. What becomes of all the over-praised new kinds of wheat, oats, apples, grapes and other things that by scores are offered every year? The fact that not one in fifty of them is heard of, ten years after their introduction at a high price, should lead cultivators to take little stock in novelties. The high price of all new things ig at the bottom of the business. Leave the costly experiments to others, you may be sure if anew 9ort is really good it will not be lost to the world, even if you are not one of the first to invest. We advise this because we want to save you money. One day's work now applied to weeds in the corn or other hoed crops, may save a dozen day's labor next year. It is the few plants that escaped the early cultivat ing, and now growing rankly towards maturity and a full crop of plump seeds, that make most of the future trouble in this line. Clean them out, and if any plants are beyond flowering burn them. Improving Polled or “Moolev" Cattle.— The question is sometimes heard, “can polled cattle be good milkers?" It is the sheerest nonsense to suppose that horns have anything to do with milic flow Horns are neither useful or ornamental, except from the force of habit. They are. on the other hand, bolh troublesome and dangerous, as the many cases every year of accidents and even death resulting from persons being hooked, go to prove. Here and there may now be found a dairy com posed of hornless cattle we have not been aide to learn that any such are less pro ductive than others. Were the breeds of polled cattle to be further improved, by selected animals only, lor a considerable time, excellent milking or other qualities might become established, and we believe a demand could easily be worked up for such improved stock. An improved breed of “Mooleys" would afford' almost the ideal family cow. Preparing for Wheat.—Where the soil is lacking in fertility, the best way to at> j>ly manure is as a top-dressing after plow ing. A single coat of manure thus ap plied has raised the yield per acre from 20 bushels on unmanured parts to 28 birthels on manured parts, in the follow ing crop. The gains to a single field or more at this rate can easily lie reckoned, and the figures will afford all the argu ment need in favor of manuring as many acres as possible. The finer and older the manure is lor this purpose the better; pains should be taken to divide it careful ly in spreading and afterward with a har row. That the wheels ot the manure wagon need not harden the plowed ground, for delivering the manure properly, the work ol hauling should be done while the plowing is going on, or else if the lands are narrow, these may be started across the field wide enough to accommodate a row of manure piles, which may then be deposited by driving along side the Iresh ly turned earth. Philosophy for Hot Weather. Washington Irving, ao the story goes.once said to a lady friend “Don't be to anxious about the education of your daughters. They will do very well; don't teach them so many things, teach them one thing.” “And what may that one thing be inquired the lady. "Teach them,” counseled the author of ‘The Sketch Book,’ “to be easily pleated.” No more sensible piece of advice could well be given to prespiring Americans who go about these days finding the grasshopper a burden. The best way to keep cool and serene is not by putting a cabbage leaf in one’s hat, is not by putting ice-water in one's stomach, nor yet by tarrying long at the straw that leads to mixed drinks. Such devices are not to be despised, but the most effective weapon with which to ward off the heat is the fine art of being easily pleased. The man wbo is easily pleased is a man that ran rely upon his diges tion, and digestion as everybody knows, is half the battle of life even when the mercury is standing at a harrowing height. Thrice happy is he who has learned to be easily pleased. He has found the philoso pher's stone. He has become superior to fate, and the weather. When it is piping hot he smiles gratefully as he reflects that at all events he has not been sunstruck. He con tinually finds sincere pleasure in reminding himself that it easily might be hotter, having respect more particularly to the equator and to the three gentleman of old who were cast into what was literally a fiery furnace. He tranquilly appeals from the most rabid of the dog days to the bracing chillness of autumn, and now and then he re-rcads Whittier's "Snow bonnd.” The consequences is that he gets thro' the heated term with comparative comfort. He is continually counting his mer cies, and he always spells each one of them with a big M. As for his troubles, he de dines to count them, he resolutely turns away from them, and it pleases him, this man who is easily pleased, never to fret. It was a person of this sort who, when he fell and fractuied hit leg, exclaimed with glad eyes. “Thank God—it might have been my head." There certainly was a philosopher of the best because the most practical school. He had learned to be eaailv pleased.—.Vrtr York Tribunt KBXXKPKC COCXTT.—In Probate Court. held at Augusta, on the second Mondag of August, 1886. WM. A.

Sitting one eve ing with a young officer who had already made himself distingu ished for cool courage and a lore ot ad venture. and whom his brother soldiers consider the best pistol-shot in the army, the conversation happened to turn upon the almost universal belief in the super natural We discussed the genii of the tales of the East, the witches and ghosts so gen erally accepted a century or two ago. and the Spiritualists of to-day. Suddenly F turned to me and said: ‘•Perhaps you may be surprised if I tell you a true ghost story; one I can vouch for myself?" Knowing him to be a confirmed skeptic upon ail supernatural subjects, I smiling ly assented. "You need not smile," he continued; “niv experience was enough to shake the nerves of the bravest man living, and to have rendered a timid one mad. “Some six or seven years ago, shortly after graduating from the Military Academy at West Point, I was sent with my command.part of a company of heavy artillery, to take possession of a little tort on Bedloe’s Island, in the harbor of New York. The island, vou will remember, is the one on which Bartholdi's Statue of Liberty is to be placed. “The place, which had long been de serted, bad acquired an evil name, and was known to be the resort ot thieves and smugglers, and.the New York police said, was the headquarters of a desperate gang of river priates. It was, indeed, to bre»k up tnis nest of scoundrels, who had found, that, being United States property,the old fort was never visited by the police, that I was sent to take possession of the is land. ••It was a gray, raw day in November; rain bad fallen early in the afternoon, and, when the boats containing my little com mand reached our destination, a cold fog hung over the harbor, and the rising wind howled about the old barrack, adding to the gloom and increasing the dreary deso lation of the mildewed old walls. It was already three o’clock, and daylight was beginning to fade, so I made the necessary preparations tor the night as rapidly as possible. ‘•Inside the tiny fort there was a house, but in so delapidated a state that but one room—a large one, which had probably once served as a mess-room—was habita ble. and this, the bare floor, broken ceil ing. and walls from which the paper hung in ragged strips, made uninviting enough. In this, however, being tfe best, mv trunk was placed, a stove put up, which was soon roaring in a cheerful way. a lamp lighted, a bed, bedding, a table, and two chairs, brought in, and I started on a tour of inspection. I had told ray Sergeant to prepare the quarters tor men in a long, low building, butside the fort, which seemed in fairly good condition. “Soldiers are rapid, because systematic workers, and before nightfal all were made comfortable, and a supper served to them which did credit to the company's cooks. I visited and inspected every part of the Island—a mere speck in the harbor, as vou know—looked into the old case ments, went through the ruinous old house from cellar to attic, examined bolts and door, then, having given orders for the night, closed the great gate leading into the tort, and retired to my quarters. “I certainly am not either a timid or an imaginative man, but there was some thing to the last degree depressing in the place that night. The wind, which had driven awp.y the fog, howled and moaned in the deserted place; the rats trooped up and down within the par tition walls, and there rose a storage, earthy smell, which reminded me, I scarce know why .of new-made graves. Now and then some sea bird’s scream could be heard, or the distant roar of the fog-horn of some passing ship, was added to the sighing and groaning of the wind. “I sat down and read the one or two newspapers I chanced to have in my pock et, wrote out a few memoranda, then opened mv trunk, lilted out the tray, which I placed upon the little table, put a number of articles of daily use on a shelf, and then, although it was still early, not more than ten o’clock. I believe, I made my toilet for the night, turned out the light, and jumped into bed. I had placed my pistol, a sell-cocking Colt ot the largest size, under my pillow: but no sooner was the light out. and all was dark, than the tales told by the New York police, came forcibly to mv mind, and I almost regretted not having posted a sentinel within the little fort. Then I felt like laughing at myself for such absurd appre hensions. Still I could not sleep. Half a dozen times I was just dozing off. when a rat skurrying along, or the wild scream of some passing sea-gull, would rouse me with a start, to toss and fret for another quarter of an hour. “At last sleep came; calm, peaceful, and dreamless sleep. How long I slept I have no idea; perhaps for one hour, per haps for two. Then, from within my very room, of which I had seen every window barred, every door bolted and locked, there came a long, low, moaning cry, end ing in a shriek so horrible, so ghastly, that I am not ashamed to say, that, as I rose in my bed. my heart seemed to stop for a moment, and my hair to rise, stiffened on my head. ••It was but tor amnment. A faint light from the waning moon came in through one of the shutters, and, as I rose, there also rose across the room, a long, white figure! I saw it start from the floor, and erjjw to man's size, or more; and, as I gazed. I heard that dreadful shriek. No matter what it was; it was a something, and with its presence returned all my combativeness and anger: hot. fiery wrath was my only feeling "Some scoundrel."' said I to mvself, ‘is playing me a trick. Some of those pirate smugglers have arranged a ghost for roe, nave they Well, we'll see who can play ghost best!’ “As I rose I took my six-shooter from under my pillow, and now 1 called out: ‘Who are you? What are you doing there, you scoundrel "There was no reply. ’Who are yon Answer, or I’ll shoot!’ "Still there was silence. My pistol was pointed a little above the centre of the figure, and again I cried ‘Answer, or I'll shout!’ “No answer came, and I pulled the trigger. I was sure of my aim, but yet the bullet seemed to bury itself harmlessly into the wall beyond. Lowering my aim I sent another "ball somewhat lower, and then a third, almost to the ground. Still the figure neither moved nor spoke. There it stood, white, ghastly, and seem ingly uninjured by lead. As the third shot left my pistol, I leaped Irom the bed and rushed npon the shadowy form. A box of cartridges lay upon the table, and these I thrust into the breast-pocket of my night-dress. Cocking my revolver as I I A TOILET LUXURY.
