DEMOCRATIC COUNT* COMMITTEE. Proponed Change In tlie KUIPH Governing the Primary Election*. JOHNSTOWN, PA., February 23, 1880. To the Editor of lite Johnstown Democrat• 1 notice that some of the party leaders are particularly active in urging commit teemen to attend the meeting of the Dem ocratic County Committee, which will be held in Ebensburg to-dny. nnd strong ef forts are. being made to have that body take action to return to the delegate sys tem of nominating candidates for office. Now this question lias been submitted twice to tlie people, at the Democratic primaries, and each time there has been an overwhelming majority in favor of re taining the present system. According to the call of Chairman Gray, however, it seems that it is con templated to have ihe County Committee make this change, thus taking it out of the hauds of tho voters to determine the matter. Such action on tlie part of the Committee is surely undemocratic and it is very doubtful if it could be considered legal. Let the County Committee, if it sees lit, su mit 'he matter again to the voters, as that is the only proper manner in which it can he changed. There are good arguments in favor of returning to what :s called the increased delagnte system, and I have voted for that plan each time the question has beeu submitted, but I am strongly opposed to a change being made by any arbitrary method, such as is proposed now. Before Chairman Gray and his committee take any such action to-day, they shculd con sider well that the voters have rights which should not be taken from them. Put the question again to tlie people but do not arbitrarily force a system upon . them which by their votes they have re peatedly said they do not want. DKMOCKAT. JOHNSTOWN, PA., February 22, 1890. 'To the Editor oj the Johnstown Democrat. I was met to-day by a gentleman who takes an active part in politics in our town ship, and lie urged me very strongly to go to Ebensburg on Monday to represent our district as a substitute for the County Committeeman at a meeting 6f the Dem ocratic Committee which is to be held there. As I could not agree tj comply with his particular request, which was to urge that the present mode of nominating candidates for office be changed in favor of the delegate system, he dropped the question and sought some one else. Now, I want to say a word to the Dem ocratic politicians and ringsters v> ho are evidently working hard to bring about this result. They say the party has suffer * cd by the present system. I low '< liy their friends not being able to sccursa nomination wlien the people have a say so ? True, the party has suffered defeats hut that cannot be charged to the system of nominating candidates. What lias been more disgraceful then the wrangle under the delegate system between Ivirby and Nagle? And tbcsubsequcntdefeatofNagle and demoralization of the party is , clearly attributed to the delegate system. And now when the differences in the party are about healed, and the whole ticket in the county has been elected.tbese politicians want to return again to the old system. One would think they were workiu the in the interest of the Republi can party. The present system is undoubtedly the most fair, as each voter can -express his preferences for all the candidates. Take a district of say 200 voters and under the delegate system ninety-nine of them may be practically disfranchised as if the del egate of the 101 of them is elected, the preferences of the others finds no expres sion. Is this Democratic ? Anyhow the County Committee has no right to make this change, but the question should be li ft the voters, and though I am convinci ed'of the gteat evils of the delegate sys tem, I will acquiesce in it when a major ity of the voters say so, but 1 do not feel that this County Committee has a right to speak for us on this question. Let the politicians heware, us the voters will not submit tamely to have their rights tram pled upon as it is proposed to be done by this committee on Monday. A DEMOCKATIO VOTEK. For County Treasurer. it i. i!i he noticed in our announcement of candidates that Mr. Henry J. Ilopple, of Ban- township, will be an aspirant for the Democratic nomination of County Treasurer. Mr. Ilopple is a farmer, aud one of the most prominent citizens of the northern part of the county. He is Pres ident of the Cambria County Agricultural Association, and is a gentleman of ability and energy. He is a steadfast Democrat, and if nominated would add strength to the ticket. The Ebensburg Freeman says . " The name of Henry J. Hopple, of Barr township, appears among the political an nouncements this week as a candidate for • County Treasurer at the Democratic pri mary election. To the people of northern Cambria, Mr. Hopple needs no introduc tion as he is known as an active working Democrat, who at all seasons has been a contributor of his time and means to the success of the Dcmociatic party. No man stands higher as a citizen than Mr. ilop ple, and as a Democrat, he is worthy of all honors the party can bestow." An Unfortunate Mistake. New York Sun.

From (lie BaUdlng. A special dispatch from Austin, Texas, says : " The Coronal Institute at Han Marcos, thirty miles from here, was de stroyed by fire yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. There were sixty persons asleep in the building at the time. The dames started on the second door, and when dis covered the whole of the door, with stair ways leading to Ihe upper story, were in a blaze. Forty girls their ages ranging from fifteen to twenty years, were on the third floor and were awakened by the smoke. Hushing from ttieir rooms in their night dresses, they hurried down the corridors to the stairway, but only to find them a mass of fire. The situation was appalling and the girls lives were in danger. Many of them screamed, some swooned, and others rushed to the win dows and cried for assistance. " Han Marcos is a smad town, poorly equipped for fires, and very few people had gathered around the burning build ing, but those few encouraged the girls to leay from the'winnows to the top of a gal lery fifteen feet below. They were loth to do so and stood huddled about the win dows appealing for aid until the crack ling dames warned them that the third door was being devoured and would soon fall in. Mrs. D. S. Comb, one of the teachers, finally let herself out of a win dow, and, dropping, landed safety on the roof of the gallery and was greeted with cheers by tlie crowd below, '.which had greatly increased. Her success eucour aged the girls and they made the leap, and from the gallery reached the ground on a ladder. Others escaped by sliding down the bell rope of the institute, which was dangling near the bell, being in the tower at one end of the gallery. Many of the girls fell from the rope, and several were badly bruised, but none seriously injured- Ten minutes after the last girl left the galicry the whole of the third door tumbled in and soon followed by the roof. Everything in the building was destroyed, the inmates escaping with their night clothes only." Official History of the Johnstown Flood. The fearful dood that swept with sud den and remorseless power through the beautiful Coueraaugh valley and well nigh wiped out of existence the opulent and populous City of Johnstown, destroy ing millions of property and thousands of human lives, startled and shocked the world beyond anything known for ages, if ever. Long and tedious has been the la bor of recovery and restoration. The ex perience of actual sufferers,—clergymen, lawyers, physicians, millionaires and la borers, whith their dearly loved families, some utterly lost, others separated for ever, others saved as by a miracle from tlie overwhelming Hood,—exceed in thril ling interest the power of romance and can only be told in their real intensity of feeling by those who went through the fearful ordeal and came out alive. Hasty, premature, imperfect descrip tions have been written by outsiders, but finally there comes to us a true official history of the whole momentous affair, prepared by no less eminent a survivor than the Rev. Dr. David J. Bealc, who, after the flood was chosen as superinten dent of all the morgues, and hence had accurate knowledge of all the dead re covered, and ot the most remarkable ex periences. By the urgent request of the leading citizens of Johnstown aud of many emi nent men ol the nation, such as Gover nor Beaver, Adjt. Gen. Hastings, T. De- Witt Talmagc, I). D., John Hall, D.

Cuyler, D. 1)., aud a host of others, lie undertook this arduous work and in its preparation he has had the assistance of all the officials connect ed with the different departments of the work of relief. This book, therefore, is not only ably prepared and intensely interesting, but is the fiist and only official work descriptive of the most stupendous disaster ot modern times. It is elegantly gotten up, splendidly illustrated, and is published by the en prising house of Faulkner & Allen, Phila delphia. We have no doubt that all who bought the hastily issued, inferior books (the sale of which was so immense) will be eager to procure the genuine official history, and thousand who did not buy the others will surely want this, The sale by sub scription will afford active young men and women an unusual chauce to make money fast. We hope some one in our commun ity will speedily procure the agency and give our citizens a chauce to secure this deeply interesting and meritorious work. .Special From Evurt, Midi, a.

Dorpman and daughter, Lodge Pole, Nebraska," is written in a bold hand on the register at the Ridg way house. Mr. Dorpman is a tall, well built man of 60 years, with a long beard strongly tinged with gray. His daugh ter is about IS years old. She has an in telligent, pretty faco and the brightest and bluest kind of bright blue eyes. When Mr. Dorpman and his daughter first came to the Ridgway house they at tracted the attention and curiosity of the guests by their strange behavior. Wheth er in the parlor or in the dining room, Mr. Dorpman always sat on the left hand side of his daughter and tapped her left arm constantly with the fingers of his right hand, as though playing on a type writer. liis fingers skipped nimbly at random from the girl's wrist almost to her shoulder and back again. At inter vals he paused and the girl smiled, nod ded her head or else tapped her left arm in the same manner with the fingers of her right arm, the old man closely watch ing their movements. The strange actions of the couple were subjects of continual comment and spec ulation among the guests. Finally some one noticed that the father and daughter were never heard to exchange a word. They always sat quietly when in each other's presence, and were always drum ming on the girl's arm as if it were a pianoforte. The girl kept away from the other guests of her sex, and was never seen in conversation with anyone. At the dining tablo Mr. Dorpman gave the orders to the waiters both for him self and his daughter. When Proprietor Butterworth met the young woman on the stairs and said affably, "Good morn ing," she never answered. The strange actions of the couple oc casioned such widespread comment and curiosity among the guests that finally Proprietor Butterworth approached Mr. Dorpman while ho was standing at the cigar counter one day, and after a few minutes of general conversation asked him to explain the cause of his constant tapping on his daughter's arm. "So you've noticed that, eh?" said Mr. Dorpman with a laugh. "Well, that is how I talk to Ilattie. She is deaf and dumb." Mr. nutterworth asked him how he was able to converso with his daughter by simply drumming on her arm. "You'll think it is easy after I tell you," he answered. "You must remem ber that we cuiuo from an obscure part of Nebraska, settled there with my wife a quarter of a century ago. Eighteen years ago, when Ilattie was born, there was not a house within a mile of us, nor a city within sixty miles. As the child grew older wo discovered that she was deaf and dumb. Wo were at a loss how to communicate with her. We wore far away from a civilized community, and no one that we knew was familiar with the sign manual for deaf mutes, so that the baby grew to bo a child before we could devise a scheme to talk to her. "Finally my wife hit upon a novel idea. She got a clever young fellow who worked for us to tattoo the alphabet on Ilattie's arm. The letter 'A' began just above the wrist, and the letter 'Z' ended just below the shoulder blade. Ilattie was then 6 years old. In less than a year by tins means my wife and I had taught her the alphabet. "Then we began to spell out words by touching each letter very slowly with our fingers. As the child learned we becarno faster, and when Ilattie was 12 years old we were able to talk to her as rapidly as a person can spell out words on a typewriter. Ilattie, too, learned to answer us by drumming on her tattooed arm. Of course, for several years at first, when we wanted to talk to her, or she to us, she had to roll up the sleeve of her left arm. Gradually her sense of touch became so fine that she knew without looking just where each letter was located, and her mother and I, by constant practice, were enabled to strike these letters with her sleeves rolled down. "The tattoo was not very deep, and by the time Ilattie was 10 years of age it had entirely disappeared, leaving her arm as white and spotless as a woman's arm could be. But she knows just where each letter was, and so do I, for I have been drumming on her arm ever since site was knee high to a grass hopper. Of course, I am the only per son alive able to talk witli her, as my wife died about six months ago, but I hope to arrange so that she may bo able to talk to others. While we are on east I am going to get some one to instruct her in the sign manual. She is bright and quick and will soon learn."—Phila delphia Inquirer. Ronton'* I.l(rvary Janitor*. Not long ago Gen. Corso received a complaint from a well known woman of letters, who passes the winter months in Boston, to the effect that Iter copy of the Atlantic Monthly was invariably delayed much after tlio time when it should naturally bo received. When finally it did come to hand the leaves were always cut and it bore the appearance of having been read in transit. She was inclined to the belief that some one connected witli the postoffice, a carrier, perhaps, was in the habit of taking it home to read before delivering it. The complaint seemed reasonable, and an inspector was detailed to look the matter up. lie soon discovered that the postoffice and its em ployes were guiltless in the matter, but that the janitor of the hotel in which the lady had her apartments was in the habit of retaining her Atlantic for a time for his own perusal.—Boston Rec ord.

Soon Over. A sudden thaw in spring is a common enough cause of the swelling and over flow of rivers, but few people have ex perience of what might be called "magio rivers," which disappear almost as sud denly as they are born. One such, how ever, is described by W. 11. Mallock in his account of Cyp us, entitled "In an Enchanted Island." On a certain evening there was a suc cession of thunder showers, and then, all the night, a heavy and ceaseless downpour. "This," said my host, in the morning, "ought to make a river." I asked what he meant by this, and he answered that the river below us was rarely anything more than a dry bed of pebbles, just as it was now. But generally once—sometimes three times—in the year it would suddenly fill with water, flow for an hour or two, and again become dry and silent. I felt that the sight must he curious and wished that I might be able to witness it. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon a servant came to my bedroom and asked me to go into the garden. There I found my host with an opera glass, standing on the bank. "Look!" exclaimed lie, pointing. "It is coming. Listen! You can hear it." 1 listened and looked. lat last caught a sound, faint and uncertain, as leaves rustling in a dream. Then suddenly, far away on the plain, I saw something flash, like the head of a pointed spear. Grad ually this prolonged itself into a slim shining line, which presently took a curve. For a time its course was straight. Then it curved again. In ten minutes, over the brown surface of the fields the water had stretched itself like a long, silvery snake, and the sound I had hoard, growing every instant more distinct, explained itself to the ear as the voice of the stirred pebbles. The river channel skirted the bottom of tho garden, and thus, as the flood went by, we iiad every opportunity of observing it. It pushed itself forward, headed by a mass of bubbles and scum; it split itself into fierce rivulets, which, a moment later, were drowned in the body of the stream; it gurgled against banks; it circled into transitory whirlpools. Gradually, as we watched, its volume seemed todiminish, and in an hour's time there was only a trickling rill, over which a child five years old might have stepped. —Youth's Companion. I'uiioh GI*U.SM. "The bunch grass which grows so lux uriantly upon tho western plains is a curious plant," said a ranchman yester day. "it grows everywhere throughout the wit wherever there is the slightest rainfall, and in the greatest luxuriance along the river bottoms. It's a godsend to the grazing industry, and although a homely plant, possesses more of tho fat tening qualities than the far famed blue grass of old Kentuck. Indeed, much of the fast horseflesh of the mountain dis tricts owes its staying powers to a diet upon this succulent grass. Spokane, for example, took its full allowance of hunch grass in Ids coltish days. Bunch grass grows in thick hummucks, or hunches, as the name would indicate. Half a hundred sharp pointed spears often arise from a single hump, and often to a height of eighteen inches. In the spring it is a delicate green, but later on dries up, but cures to perfection upon tlie root. During the winter cattle dig with their noses for this grass concealed beneath tho snow. However, if the snow is covered with a crust, steers are thus cut off from their usual food and die off in large numbers, as it is a pecu liarity of a steer that it never uses its hoofs in removing the snow from the familiar pasturage. Horses, however, break the crust with their hoofs, and thus stand the hard western winters bet ter than cattle. The buffalo always makes u>e of tho hoofs in uncovering the food, and somewhere down in Kan sas there is a stock farm where this fac ulty of using the hoofs is being devel oped by judicious crossing of buffaloes with the native cattle. Minneapolis Journal. liecthoven's I.ist Pliino. The "Beethoven's House society," Bonn, has recently acquired Beethoven's last piano. It was made by the court piano maker, Konrad Graff, who died at Vienna in ISol. 110 went to that city in the beginning of this century, and soon gained a reputation by the excellence of his pianos. The instrument in question was expressly ordered from him by Beethoven, In consideration of his deaf ness, it was made with four string; te each key, instead of the usual three Owing to the strength of its tones, Beethoven used it almost exclusively in the last years of his life. After his death it passed into the hands of the bookseller, Franz \Vitamer, of Vienna; and, after the marriage of his daughter to n Swiss clergyman named Widntann, it became the property of the Widmunu family in Berne. Its genuineness is proved by documents, and confirmed by the au thority of Johannes Brahms. It is now in the house in which tho great com poser was born at Bonn.

As lie lay on his cot in tho hospital breathing his last, a sudden inspiration seemed to re vivify him, and, to the wonder of all, he sat upright in his couch and began to sing in his familiar, robust voice one of his favorite operatic solos.

Is god of each night und day! —\V. H. Thorue in Philadelphia Times. Scientific Paradoxes. These scientific paradoxes are grouped together in Blackwood's Magazine: The water which drowns us, a fluent stream, can be walked upon as ice. The bullet which, when fired from a musket, carries deatli, will be harmless if ground to dust before being fired. The crystallized part of the oil of roses, so graceful in its fra grance, a solid at ordinary temperatures, though really volatile, is a compound substance containing exactly the same elements, and in exactly the same pro portions, as the gas with which we light our streets. - The tea which wo daily drink with benefit and pleasure produces palpitations, nervous tremblings, and even paralysis, if taken in excess; yet the peculiar organic agent called theine, to which tea owes its qualities, may be taken by itself (as theine, not as tea) without any appreciable effect. The water which will allay our burn ing thirst augments it when congealed into snow, so that it is stated by ex plorers of the Arctic regions that the na tives "prefer enduring tiie utmost ex tremity of thirst rather than attempt to remove it by eating snow." Yet if the snow he melted it becomes drinkable water. Nevertheless, although if melted before entering the mouth it assuages thirst like other water, when melted in the mouth it has the opposite effect. To render this paradox more striking, we have only to remember that ice, which melts more slowly in the mouth, is very efficient in allaying thirst. Til© Wells of Tripoli. The Friday market in Tripoli, Barbary, held in the oasis, a little distance from the town, is picturesque in the extreme. On all sides the exasperating grating of well pulleys produces a motif too Wag nerian for uneducated ears, in a pastoral symphony played by a full orchestra of buzzing insects, grasshoppers whirring shrilly, and the sun scorched palms crackling their dry branches. In each garden rise the two arms of a well, be tween which an enormous leathern bag mounts and descends on a rude wooden pulley, the chief instrument of the above mentioned music, discharging at each trip a flood of water. The negro laborer uses a camel, an ox, sometimes fits wife, to give the motion to the machine by going up and down an incline plane. The movement does not stop day or night during tho nine months of the dry season, and it is thanks to that water, which is life, thanks to constant care, that the ver dure of a semi-tropical vegetation blooms gayly in the sand. Under the protection of pomegranate, fig, orange, lemon and banana trees, through whose heavy foliage the sun percolates, flourish maize and wheat, vegetables and flowers of all sorts.

Another hydriatic method, which acts by removing the cause of disturbance, is the sipping of hot water an hour before meals, in dyspepsia, writes Dr. S. Barueh, in Times and Registci. The hot water craze, which now has taken a firm hold upon tho lay public, is but the legiti mate outcome of r qablo therapeutic application of wa \ liosc simplicity commends it at oni die judgment of the intelligent ph.. ion. Brought into prominence by Dr. Salisbury, who com mitted the error of most enthusiasts of regarding it as a panacea for most dis eases, it lias now been adopted by the profession as a most valuable agent in many gastric troubles. By removing the process of fermentation, by cleansing tho mucous membrane of mucous, it restores tone and vigor to the gastric lining, and enables the natural forces to come into play. It is important to observe strict compliance with tho rule laid down by the originator, viz.: that the water should be sipped as hot as possible, and that an hour should elapse beforo a meal is taken. Examples of failure duo to neg lect of this rule are numerous in tho ex perience of all medical men. ~'eremonioufl.
