to officiousness. Within his shop door, he
was out of the crowd; no one trod upon

Confinement to ooe place made him tired
of inaction; he did you a good turn to get
rill .of ennui, and habit rendered him only
happy when he was assisting somebody.—
Datthe cockney of our day, who _by dint
of _omnibusses lives in the suburbs, is a
much less amiable person. He is anxious
and thoughtful; for he must keep his time
tola minute, to get into town and out of it
simin,nnd to do all his work in the interim.
He is wrapped up in self; for even omiti

and be must elbow his - way and battle for
his place. The ionocent gallantry of the

The hardness of the "dreary-moors" of

it is related in the Gentleman's 51.aga
mine, of Chantrey, the celebrated sculptor,
'that, when a buy, he was observed, by a
gentleman in the neighborhood of Shef
field, very attentively engaged in cutting a
stick with a penknife. He asked the lad
what he was doing; when, with great sim
plicity of manner, but with courtesy, he
ritiplied, 'I am cutting an old Fox's head.'
rox was the schoolmaster of the village.
Ott. this, the gentleman asking to see
what he had done, and pronouncing it to
bk an excellent likeness, presented the
youth,.with a sixpence. And this may be
reaskoned - the first money Chanttey ever
received .for the production of his art.

COUNTY CONVENTWN.
Perremo Rot'. October 22, 1892.
In pursuance of a call of the Democratic Committee of
Correspondence of the State, published at Harrisburg.
one lime since, suggesting the propriety of each county
electing delegates equal to their number of representatives
in the State Legislature, to meet in their respective cocn
lies in convention, and eltct delegates to meet at Harris
burg, on the Rth of Penn:try. 1843. for the purpose of
noininll lug a candidate for the Presidenev . subject to the
dee:sion of a Democratic National Convention.
The Democrats of Allegheny county are, therefore, re
quested to meet in the different wards,horoughs and town
ship., on Saturday, the sth day of November next, at their
usual places of holding their elections, nod each district
elect two delegates to meet in County Convention at the.
Court !loom, in the city of Pittsburgh,' on Wednesday,
the 9th of November, at 11 o',lock, A. M., fur the our.
nose of electing fiv't delegates to represent Allegheny
county in the Stale Convention, to he held at ttarrish

chairman of the Democratic Committee of Correspond

ham, Lawrenceville and Pitt township, are requested to

Marine Camels.
We yesterday stated that the "Nantuck
et Caine!?' had taked a large ship into the
harbor. Several of our readers have e
vinced no little curiosity to know what
kind of "Camels" they were, whether they
are:the genuine critters, or only an ingeni
ous counterfeit of Yankee invention. The
Bay state Democrat enlightens us on the
subject—it says that the "Camels are two
large hollow vessels built of timber and
plank; made` water light, and hollowed out
on the inner faces in such a mariner that
when brought together they form a cradle
of the shape of a ship's hull. They are
rounded at the bows. to obviate the resis
tance of water, and squared at the stern.—
The outer sides are perpendicular to the
water, and the inner concave, to conform
them to the vessel, and Perm the cradle.—
Owing to the great surface presented to
the water, they are extremely buoyant, and
their brxrims being fiat, they will float in
very shallow. water.
The interior of each is divided into two
holds by means of adeck midway from the
bottom to the top, and there are sluice—
ways provided to admit the water tVhe
upper and lower holds, aitd also
,pumps
worked by steam engines, to free the holds
'rom water.
-----
To put them in operation, they ire aken
out into deep water; where the laden ves
sel lays, and sunk, one on each side of th e
.
vessel. This is done by opening the slut:
ces and-admitting the water to the holds; '
virtually scuttling them. The aides of the
cradle being thus brought beloW the
hull
of the vessel, the Camels are brought to.
-gather. enclosing the vessel, and fasteneil
at the bottom and ends by means of heavy
chains. The bluices a r e" then closed, and
the pumps pat in operation to exhaust the .

delegates of the democracy of the Union
have designated who shall be the candi

Mrs. S. J. Hail suggests that every fam

with both hands on the pews and "hoeing
it down" with both feet; he is known, and if
he would adhere to a little advice in future,
he should abstain from his reprhensible
extravagance for the sake of his character,
and the respect he should show to the soci

at the same work, repeatedly, that would
regret pungently to have it made known;
therefore for the comf irt of all it is hoped
that such -a complaint may never hereafter
be made. A gentle tap upon the floor
