We do not hear that Chairman Peck
has decided what course he will pursue
witli regard to the manner of selecting
delegates to the republican state conven
tion, which meets iu Harrisburg on the
4th of February, and we do not suppose he
will thank us, inasmuch as the REVIEW
is not an organ, for any suggestions in
regard to his duty but it seems tous that
an attempt to get a delegate convention
together at this time would prove a fail
ure, and that the most judicious plan is
for the chairman to convene the standing
committee, which consists of one mem
ber from each election district, and"have
them choose the delegates. The commit
tee men ought to understand the senti
ment of the party on the presidential
question, and be competent to select del
egates who will fairly and honestly rep
resent the wishes of the republicans of
Bradford; if the men selected prove rec
reant, " shoot them (politically) on the
spot." But remember this county is not
the entire state, but that there are some
two hundred and fifty otherdelegates, who
will have to be consulted in the state con
vention. The will of the majority must
be acvuiesced in.
Mrs. Hayes' attire at the New Year
reception at the White House will be
matter of interest to female readers. Her
dress was of white brocaded satin,
wrought with gold threads. The V
shaped front of the waist was filled in
with lace and her sleeves were of duchesse
lace with embroidery of seed pearls. The
court train of satin was long and square;
rose-buds were worked upon it with
threads of gold. The plain white satin
petticoat was trimmed with bias folds of
satin divided by a fringe of gold aud
pearls. Broad bands of gold embroidery
separated the petticoat from the court
train. In her dark hair she wore a silver
cemb and on her neck a pendant—a cameo
head of the President set in diamonds.
The difllculty of filling the English
mission, it now appears, arises from the
fear of expense to which the appointee
will lie put in carying out his diplomatic
duties. It is said it takes at least $20,-
000 a year over and above the salary to
maintain the American Representation
relatively with those of other nations, in
London; and that there are but com
paratively few gentlemen to be found who
being in other respects qualified, have
this amount to spare.
Dr. M. M. Griffith of Bradford reports
some astonishing results obtained by the
administration of crude petroleum to
consumptives. He claims that out of
twenty-five cases of well-marked
tuberculosis so treated about twenty were
fined; the rest have been materially
benefited, and Hone have been under
treatment more than four months.
