TELEGRAPHIC. EASTERN. Press Comments on Cornell's Nomination. New Yokk. Sent. 4. The Times, not attempting to conceal its chagrin oyer Cornell's nomination, savs. now that the convention has spoken its verdict it will accepted by nil rho participated in it as the voice of the party. The good quali ties oi me nominees may be chienv neg ative, but there are at least no points of positive badness about any of them. It says: xnougn all are trained politicians, we know no accusation of corruption or taint of peculation which can be alleged in regard to any one of the number. The Times shows that . Conklins 's power has waned since the last presiden tial convention, notwithstanding the suc cess of yesterday. It estimates the anti machine republicans have gained 33 per cent, within the past three years, meas ured by votes in the convention. The Tribune complacently accents the result with an 'il told you so" air,, and says Cornell has never up to this cam paign been its choice for any office, and if the republicans had followed its pref erence he would not be now, but it ar gues that it would have been vain to at tempt to stem the rural opposition, and his popularity is steadily increasing. He is not an inspiring candidate but will prove a good one. He is as old, as tried, and as true a republican as any of his opponents. Me is a better organizer than any of them, has more experience an executive sort than any of them, those who suppose from the tempor ary pother raised in this city, that the son oi Ji.zra (Jorneil is going to prove un popular in New York, will find their mis take on election day. Help Seeded at Memphis. NbwYobk. Sept. 9. From Memphis the following has been received: "To the Associated Press Agent t Please send the following to all federal soldiers: Again we call for help. Let us not starve. The Howards cannot provide for us, nor the city government. We need money, provisions and blankets. The fever will not subside before frost. All business i3 stopped and will not re open till winter, E. F. HILL, Capt. 9tn Illinois (Jav.. Chairman Re lief Association. T. B. Millard, Secretary, 42 North Court street." Fire at Cambridge, Mass. Boston, Sept. 9. Ferdinand Fisher's tannery at Cambridge burned to-nisrht. Loss 840,000; insurance $28,000. PoanasD, Sept. 9 Two hundred and nine towns give Davis, 46,795 ; Garcelon, 14,192; Smith, 29,692: scattering, 53. The same towns last year, Conner, 38,667: Uarcelon. 18,839: Smith. 24.538: scatter ing, 24. The republican majorities in these towns, z.yi'u, against 47o4 opposition ma jority last year.

If they should come in like the others the total vote should stand republicans, 63,500 ; demo crats, 21,000 ; greenbackers, 50,000, and Davis will lack 2,500 of election. Ifi Cumberland the republican county ticket is all elected. Fifteen out of twenty rep resentatives are elected, a gain of 7.

Failure of a Bank. New York. Sept. 10. A dispatch from Lima announces the failure of the Na tional Bank of Peru. The Foreign Demand for Wheat. New York, Sept. 10. The Times says Unless there is gross exaggerations in the estimates of the Paris Bulletin de Sholle the purchases of foreign wheat for the harvest year will be on a scale without precedent during any year of peace. An estimated difference of some 50,000,000 bushels, to be supplied almost exclusively by this country, involves an almost in credible advance on the 4,500,000 bushels exported to r ranee 1877-78, even assum inc that as much more was sent bv wav of England. During the last fiscal year the exports of wheat and wheat flour from the United states reached a total equiva lent of 160.000,000 bushels. About three- fourths of that quantity found its way to Ureat isriuan and her colonial possess ions, tor the current fiscal year our wheat exports can hardly fail to reach 200,000,000 bushels, with a proportional increase on other descriptions of bread stuffs.

Captain Goldsmith and wife, the crew of the miniature boat Uncle Sam. from Boston for Europe, have arrived at Liverpool in a vessel which picked them up. It seems that Mrs. Goldsmith at commencement of the voyage Buffered sea-sickness. Her ill ness after a few days assumed a serious form, threatening inflammation of the bowels. The constant wakefulness of Captain Goldsmith was thus made neces sary. On the 16th of August, when off New Foundland, a tremendous gale was encountered aad sail was shortened. It was feared the boat would swamp or cap size and Captain tioldsmitn stood, knife in hand, ready to cut away halliards. In consequence of tne boat shipping Heavy seas Captain Goldsmith finally lay to with two drags over the bows and tried to take some rest. A tremendous sea al most filled the place where he was rest ing and his wife was sitting in water up to her shoulders. After bailing out the water it was found that the drags and two oars had been carried away and all pro visions except canned meats destroyed. Mrs. Goldsmith growing rapidly worse, her husband on the night of the 16th of August began to consider the desirabil ity of returning to New Foundland. Uales continued on the lfth and istn, ail fastenings but one of the main sheets having given way. At 3 P. M. on the 19th, after 72 hours of wakefulness, Cap tain Goldsmith lay down to sleep, but was awakened by the shock of heavy eeas. He saw a large bark and chased it for an hour, finally coming up with her, and Mrs. Goldsmith was hauled aboard of her with a rope, Everything on the Uncle Sam was lost and the boat was scuttled. j Harvest la Switzerland and France.

After the buildings of the embassy were fired, the survivors sallied out and de fended themselves desperately, but all were killed, including Major Cavagnari.

The Gazette says : "The massacre of the members of the English mission to Afghanistan oblit erates the scientific frontier between that country and India, and makes necessary tne occupation of the whole or Atgnanis an bv the British, but this is incompati ble with the assurance given by England to Russia, with whom there must be an understanding with regard to the meas ure of satisfaction to be taken by Eng land. The Gazette proceeds to recommend a solution by partition of Afghanistan so as to bring England and Russian domin ions in contact in Ceutral Asia. Confirmation Simla. Sent. 10.

Iron roasters of Lanarkshire and Ayr shire reject the demand of workingtnen for an increase ot wages till the price of iron exceeds fifty shillings per ton. ' One third of the furnaces are to be blown ont, masters believing the revival of the iron tradeonly temporary.-. , I : Self-acting winders in tbe Ashton cot ton mills have almost determined on a stiike. If weavers do not strike with the winders they wjll in almost every case be locked out Fimdof the winder's union will possibly enable; them to continue the stnjg'le for two months or more.! Tbe weavers could not possibly remain so long wi'h'int experiencing great privations. Card-room hands will doubtless be locked out wtjen the struggle commences, A five per cent, reduction in wages has been posted in the Lancaster mills and short time and a reduction of wages in the mills near Stockport. Operators of two large mills at Moseely have struck against reduction posted at other mills. Not any thing like so serious in its effects upon the condition of work people as the measure of reduction appears to indicate, though at the present moment the cotton indus try is overshadowed by menacing clouds. There are already clearly diicernible signs of returning prosperity. The im portance ot tavorabie rains in Asia can hardly be exaggerated, and we can rea son Dly hope that next year India and China will be prosperous. The revival of enterprise in America also means a re newal of activity in international trade. Collecting Troops.

I. BALDWIN. Come, little ones; gather around me. Come close as yon can. The more of you there are and the nearer yon get to me tne better, ror 1 love to tell you stories. I like to Bee the bright eyes grow brighter, the dimples in the cheeks and smiles cn the rosy lips; for I dearly love good little children, and I like to make them happy. I am going to tell yon some true stories about dogs. Let me see! Which shall I tell first? "Hunter, the grayhonnd," did you say, Master Harry? Well, then, here it is: Many years ago a family, friends of mine, moved from an Eastern city, way out West, where the country was all new, and most of the people lived in log houses. There were few roads over the prairies and the wild deer were very plentiful. A neighbor of my friends owned a fine, white grayhonnd. Perhaps some of you have never seen a grayhound; so I -will tell you that they are very slender dogs, with long legs, sharp noses and bright eyes; they can see a long distance and run very fast. This dog was named hunter. He used often to come with his master to the house of my friend; and he had a way of making himself quite at home when there. He would scratch at the door when he came, and when it was opened for him, wonld walk right in and stretch himself on the rug in front of the blazing wood fire; and sometimes when he found himself too warm there, would take a place on the sofa without waiting to be asked. I am sorry that he was not very care ful about keeping clean. He nsed to come sometimes with vory muddy feet, and his nice, white coat all soiled with mud; bnt if he was turned from the door as he was sure to be when in this plight-he would jump in at the first open window he could find, and make himself quite, as much at home as if he were cleani ; My friend, who was very neat and particular in all his ways, at last kept a long whip where he oould get it quickly when needed, and wonld drive tne dog away whenever he came with muddy feet. Hunter's master had gone from home, and he seemed lonely and restless, and made frequent calls at the house of my friend, as if he was looking for his mas ter. Ona night the family were all gath ered around the fire, when they heard the well-known scratch at the door; and when it was opened there stood Hunter, but instead of running into the house and settling before the fire, as he was in the habit of doing, he stood outside, wagged his sail and whined. He would not come in until called and coaxed for some time) and when he did come into the lighted room, my friends were hocked to see him covered with blood. They examined his body, bnt found no wounds. . He was so nneasy and seemed so anxious to get ont that they opened the door for him. but he was not satis fied to go alone. At last one of the young men of the family said he would follow him and see what was the matter. Hunter became perfectly quiet when this was proposed, and waited quite pa tiently for the young man to put on his overcoat, for it was very cold. J Hunter trotted on ahead of the young man, looking back now and then to be sure he was coming, until they had walked nearly a mile, when he stopped and stood wagging his tail when the yonng man came up with him. What do you think the dog had done? He had chased a deer, caught and killed it, and then went to the house and told of it as well as he knew how. The ybnng man went home and got a sleigh, for the deer was too heavy to carry so far alone, and Hunter staid there and watched it until the young man returned with his brother. . i After this, Hunter became a pet in my friend's family and was always welcomed at tbe fireside; and my friend kept an old blanket and a fur cape with which ae nsed to make a nice, warm bed for him on the sofa; for he said, "a dog who knows enough to go ont and kill a deer, and return for help to bring it home, ought to be very well treated." . Politeness. Nothing adds more to the happiness of home life than true politeness shone at all times among the different members of the family toward each other. It is a singular fact that most people treat those they love best with the least respect: and this is probably the great cause-of inharmony in many homes. Husbands, do you not remember in your courting days how particular you were in your action, conversation and personal appearance? ' : And wives, nave you forgotten how yon always took care to appear to the best advantage when your lover was present? . ,, . Ah! surely many of von.husbands and wives, have forgotten one thing, and that is, to cultivate politeness in your homes; and consequently your children seem ingly have no respect for father, mother, ! sister nor orotner. . i Some may argue that an adherence to ' the rules of politeness brings about too much formality in the home circle. Bet ter a little formality that too much familiarity in expression or action. Should a son treat another lady with more marked respect than his mother? Should a daughter treat another's father with more veneration than her own? Is there a place in the universe where the gem cf loving hearts should shine more brightly than in the home? Then cultivate politeness; it is that which will keep inharmony from your door and bind the household together in the dissoluble bonds of love. - European Pkttt Regulations. One of the chief ble&ings of being a citizen of the United States is that freedom from a host of minute and distressing regula tions which weigh with almost crushing force upon the inhabitants of France and Germany. In England, too, the petty rules and laws are almost suffoca ting. It is their nselessnera against which the American rebels, bnt when he ventures to remonstrate in Europe, he encounters only cold indifference or open hostility. He is looked upon as more or less inimical to order because he does not believe in being ordered all the time. "I have bought and sold houses in my time." said a charming American lady to an agent of the Paris ian Gas Company, "with much less trouble than yon have made me pass through simply for introducing gas pipes into my apartment." There were ever so many papers to sign; there were men who came to watch other men, and other men who came to watch and inspect them ; and the fuss became intolerable. ; One day an Englishman living in a quiet street in Paris, took a fancy he would like to keep a pig in his back yard. What was his amazement on discovering that permission must be bad from certain municipal authorities before the animal could.be maintained on the premises. Off he went grumbling, like the true Englishman he was. He was sent to one office where he had to sign a little paper and pay a lew sous; then to another. where he had to get some one's signature and disburse mjre sous. Then he was directed to yet another administration, where a Btamp was placed on the docu ment, which now began to look as im portant as a commission from the Presi dent of the United States. By this time tne .englishman was wild with rage. "Look here," he said at the fourth and last official bureau to which he was sent, "do yon think this paper will be valid unless we have the pig's signature on it?" "Oh, perfectly, sir," answered the employe, who was too polite to allow that he understood the joke, bnt who could scarcely repress a smile. It took more paper and stamps to house and pro tect that pig than it did to write the Declaration of Independence. Edward King in Boston Journal. Teach Women to Save. There is the secret! A saving woman at the head of a family is the very best bank one re ceiving deposits daily and hourly, with no costly machinery to manage it The idea of saving is a pleasant -one, and if the women wonld imbibe it at once they would cultivate it, and thus, when they are not aware of it, would be laying the foundation of a competent security in a stormy time and shelter in a rainy day. The woman who sees to her own house has a large field to save in. The best way to make her comprehend it is to keep an account of all current expenses. Probably not one woman in ten has an idea of how much are the expen ditures of herself and family. Where from one to two thousand dollars are expended annually, there is a chance to Bave aomeuiing n we enon is raaue. Let the wife take the idea, act upon it, and she will save many dollars where be fore she thought it impossible; and can afford to take good newspapers and buy instructive books for her children. This is a duty, yet not a prompting of avarice, but a moral obligation that rests upon women as well as men. Br Careful op the Children. -Moth ers can aot be too watcbiul of the health of their children at this season of the year if they would save them f . om sick ness, wniie we believe in, and advo cate the free use of ripe fruits, great care is required to prevent children from de vouring the unripe and partially decayed trash that is exposed for sale on the street corners in all cities for any con siderable size. The anxiety of the farm- era to secure high prices by getting their products into market early, tempts tbem to commence picking ail kinds of fruit before it is properly ripened. Un thinking and ignorant parents permit their children to eat this unwholesome stuff; and the result in too many cases is severe illness followed by death, and the laying away of little creatures in the silent tomb. The Power or Prater, An excellent lady in this city tells what a trial to her her first husband was, being a scoffer at holy things, and how, after vainly re monstrating with him for years, she at last organized a prayer campaign con cerning him. "and in less than three weeks from that time, his horse ran away with him and he was thrown ont of the buggy and killed." JUT. Y. World. When the boarders at a certain Phila delphia boarding bocse complain cf the butter, the landlady silences them by pointing to tlutt portion of the wall on which hangs a card, reading, "To the pnreall things are pure." he ' sod of the Koe. It is probably not generally known that the region in which Genaral Kour khohas been lately onerai in ! Cossacks is the land whence by far the j greatest quantity of attar of roses comes j to Western Europe. Kasanlik,the name of which haa often figured lately as a I point of strategical importance, is also a center of one of the most rem jkable species of horticu&ure, or rather agri culture, to be found in the whole world Around it, or near it, are the districts of Cirnan. Gionea Karatuiat rtak t.--:.. Tepe, Yem Saghra, all of which are de voted to this peculiar husbandry. The Mussulman tradition assigns the origin of the rose to the night of Mohammed's journey to heaven. The white roses sprang from the drops of sweat which fell from the blessed forehead of the prophet himself in the toilsome as cent; the sweat of Borak, the miraculous animal he rode, gave birth to yellow ones, while the celestial drops which fell from Gabriel were the source of the red rose. The appearance of the neighbor hood of Kasanlik would favor a suspicion that the heavenward journey must have prelr ied the archangel, and Count Von Moltke, who was well acquainted with Bulgaria and Balkans, haa styled the valley of the Tnndia "The Cashmere of Europe, the Turkssh Gulisten, the land of roses." Koses are not grown there as with us, in isolated patches in gardens but in fields and in ridges, as if they were no better than potatoes. It would be diln eultto imafnne anvthinor mom xKi,,r.;n than the appearance of those rose fields, and any painter who should attempt to reproduce this picture would aesuredly be charged with exaggeration. But it wonld be impossible to catch the infinite alternations of color, both among the roses themselves anrl tha cmun the shmbs. Hundreds of millions of rose leaves ati-AW tha mnnil .n1 nap less for the chief object in view. It is calculated that about one-fourth of the leaves are lost in this way; perhaps as much more either fail to come to the requisite perfection or are unavoidably wasted. The entire produce of the Tekne. or region of which Kasanlik is the center, is esumatea at aoout eight hundred or nine hundred kilogrammes (from one hundred and ninety-five to two hundred and twenty imperial gallons) of rose oil. The wealth of water in the valley prodigious; springs are not only numer ous, but most abundant in yield. There ia a general system of irrigation, which; remembering that the country is Bul garia and not Lombardy. is admirable. The whole valley was a picture of pros perity, the result of natural fertility, carefully nurtured by human industry. Where roses are not cultivated, heavy crops of maize are gathered, and along the slopes and down by the waterside are numerous herds and flocks.- Kasalink itself is a town of ten thousand inhabit ants, and is surrounded by magnificent walnut woods, which are also a source of commercial industry. Von Moltke speaks of the situation as one of the rarest beauty, Many of the trees, he says, cover an extent of oDe hundred feet with their spreading branches, while countless wild pigeons fill the woods with their cooing. The murmuring or the rush of waters is heard in every direction; the sky itself presents perpetually changing aspects by reason of the surrounding mountain; vhilA rhA (fahnwinalvf. h ... -a iTTw: with delicate perfume. ;AiKTtl twentv five miles to the southeast of Kasanlik, and divided from the Tjunda valley by range of hills, is Eski-Saghra, a town of eighteen thousand inhabitants, also a notable industrial center., the best silk and the finest wheat in Turkey being produced in the surrounding district. With such diligent husbandmen, a mod-, erately fair government would soon make the whole of Southern Bulgaria the richest and most productive country in Europe, - The Necessity for Pare Air. Night air and damp weather are held in great horror by multitudes of persons who are sickly or of weak constitutions; consequently, by avoiding the night air, and damp weather, and changeable weather, and weather that is considered too hot or too cold, they are kept within doors much the largest portion of the time; and, as a matter of course, con tinue invalids, more and more ripening for the grave every hour. The reason is, they are breathing an impure atmos phere nineteen-twentieths of their whole existence. As nothing can wash us clean but pure water, so nothing can cleanse the blood, nothing can make health-giving blood, but the agency of pure air. , So great is the tendency of the blood to become im- Knre in consequence of waste and use am matter, mixing with it as it passes through the body, that it requires a hogshead of air every hour of our lives to unload it of these impurities. But in proportion as this air is vitilated, in such proportion does itinf&llably fail to re lieve the blood of these inparities, and impure blood is the foundation of all disease. The great fact that those who are out of doors most,' summer and win ter, day and night, rain and shine, have the best health the world over, does of itself falsify the general impression that night air or any other out-door air is un healthy aa compared with in-door air at the same time. - Air is the great necessity of life, so much so, that if deprived of it for a mo ment we perish; and so constant is the necessity of the blood for contact wit h the atmosphere that every drop in the rxKiy is exposed to the air through the medium of the lungs every two minutes and a half of our existence Whatever may be the impurity of the out-door air of any locality, the in-door air of that locality is still mere impure, because of the dust, and decaying and odoriferous matters which are found ia all dwellings. Besides, how can in door air be more healthy than the out door air, other things being equal, when the dwelling is supplied with air from without : r To tlus very general law there is ona exception, which is of the greatest im portance to note. When the days ara not, and the nights cool, there re pe riods cf time within each twenty-iuur hours when it is safest to be in-doors, with doors and windows closed; timt i to say, for the hoar or two including sunrise and sunset, because about "on set the air cools, and the vapors which the heats of the day have caused to as- PiTA fay iW. im AA.inM .nt ,.-- . near th surface of the earth, so as to ti breathe! by the inhabitants; as the rJ:;I.t grows colder, these "vapors sink lover, and are within a foot or two of the earth so they are sot breathed.
