THK REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Tallaharbee, Fla., July 25. After
the epeech-making on Hind's resolution
endorsing Pope and Greeley last night,
the roll was call by counties, and as such
all voted aye. Three delegates, however,
had the courage to have themselves re
corded as opposed to the endorsement.
They were Ross, of Putnam, and two men
in the Washington county delegation.
Three others were recorded as blank.
At the conclusion of the funeral cere
mony a committee was sent out to notify
the candidates, who were conveniently
near. On their return Mr. Pope was in
troduced, and made a speech an hour
and a half long, in which he took up and
reviewed the independent platform, and
arraigned the democratic party, charg
ing that it was full of hypocrisy and de
ceit. It was a rehash of the editorials in
the Madison Era for the last two years.
It was towards the small hours when he
closed and gave Mr. Greely a chance,
who only said a few words in acknowl
edgment of the honor conferred on him.
Mr. Bislxie followed in a brief speech,
and gave way to Mr. E. O. Locke, the
the republican candidate for congress in
the First district. After he closed there
were loud cries for Walls, who made a
five minutes speech, in the course of
which he announced that he was in the
field for congress, to stay, and would
canvass the whole Second district for
Blaine. Poiw and "the fifth man," at his
own expense.

through the hall was pretty well thinned
out, a motion to adjourn sine die was
. . . .
carried, and the bearers took up the
corpse of the republican party and car
ried it off into the silent night.
CHOLERA ARRIVES.
Washington, July 25. Surgeon Gen
eral Hamilton, of the Marine IIospit.il
service, has been notified by Surgeon
Ames, of that service, that a child died
on a steamer at Port Anderson, Miss, of
what is supposed to be Asiatic cholera
The steamer is rxjuml from New Orleans
to St. Louis. The dead child belonged to
a family which recently arrived at New
Orleans direct from Toulon. Dr. Haruil
ton immediately telegraphed to New Or
leans to have thoroughly investigated the
statement that the parties were recently
from Toulon, and also to the marine hos
pital surgeons in St. Louis and intermo
diate points to investigate as to the facts
of the death, and enforce the projier pre
cautions. The doctor says he don't be
lieve the death was caused by cholera.
but ho couldn t allord to take any
chances.
In answer to the dispatch sent Surgeon
Ames, at Evansville. Dr. Hamilton thas
been informed by that officer that his
dispatch of this afternoon was based on
a telegram received by him (Ames) from
the oflicer in charge at Nashville, which
stated on authority of Dr. Pierce, of Port
Anderson, Miss., that a case of cholera
liad lcen put off the Anna P. Silver at
that place, and that the vessel was then
on her way up the river.
Later advices Bay the child died of or-
dinary summer complaint, and that it
was not a case of cholera.
Dan Voorhees on Blaine's Letter
Washington Special.
" Yes, I have read the letter through,
every word of it," said Senator Voorhees.
" Like everything Mr. Blaine writes, it is
marked by force and ability. I was sur
prised to find him devoting so much
space to an argument in favor of protec
tion and taking such an extreme ground.
I am something of a protectionist my
self, but I must say I think Mr. Blaine is
cutting it pretty fat when he attributes
the vast increaso of material wealth dur
ing the past twenty years entirely to the
protective tariff. While the letter is not
only able, but moderate and conservative
in tone, I do not Indieve it will satisfy
the country that Mr. Blaine is a safe
man. People mistrust him."
"What do you think of his views on
civil service reform?"
"Oh, I presume what he says about
himself and his opinions is true. Blaine
is a kind hearted man, and I do not
think he would try to turn out any man
who was doing his duty well."
" It is rather providential." continued
the senator, " that we have nominate!
a young, vigorous man, weighing 0
jxmnds, with a neck as bfg as my thigh
and a head like a bull's. In case he is
elected, as I am sure he will be. he will
lie able to stand up against the horde of
office-seekers and live. The pressure
would have killed Hendricks or Thurmau
in ninety days, and as for Tilden be
would have been snuffed out instantly."
Lord Rupert 3 wood, of Victoria, is re
ported to In? richer than W. II. Vander

including millions of cattle and sheep in

JUDAH r. BENJAMIN'S AVILL.
A Model Testament xl-awn
by the
Famous Lawyer.
The will of the late Judah P. Benja
min, one of the ablest jurists of his time,
has just been admitted to probate in Lon
don. It is a model of concise statement,
and may afford a hint to those desirous
of similar forms.
" This is the wf " of me, Judah Philip
Benjamin, of Lincoln's Ian, Barrister-at-
law," and it then proceeds to give lega
cies to three sisters residing in New Or
leans, to one nephew and five nieces, the
children of his sister and a deceased bro
ther, and to his brother Joseph Benja
min, residing at Puerto Cortez, Spanish
Honduras, and continues: "I nominate
and appoint my two good friends, John
George Witt and Lindsey Middleton As
pland, barristers-at-law, the executors of
this my will, and I bequeath to each of
them, if he shall consent to act under
this appointment 100 guineas."
Then follows a bequest of 1,000 "to
my dear wife Nathalie Benjamin," and a
direction that "the legacies be paid free
of legacy duty, and as promptly as possi
ble after my decease, and that so much
of my personal property as may be ne
cessary for that purpose le sold and pro
ceeds applied to such payments."
The rest of the will is as follows :
" I give, bequeath and devise all the
rest and residue of my estate, real and
personal, and wherever situated, to my
said dear wife Nathalie and to our only
child Ninette, wife of Capt. Henri de
Bousignae, now captain in the 117th reg
iment of the line of the French army. If
either my said wife or my said daughter
should die before me, the survivor is to
o mv unln rfiiln.irv devisee arid lecatee.

have in France the family mansion or
hotel at No. 41 Avenue d'Lena, Paris, in
which I have resided since my with
drawal from the bar, and in which I con
template residing the rest of my life. I
wish my executors to sell at once so
much of my personal assets, such as
shares, stock and debentures, as will sns-
fice to paj not only the legacies afore
said, but all duties and administration ex
penses, and to deliver the remainder to
my Baid residuary legatees or legatee.
Written and signed by me on this 30th
day of April, A. D 183.
"J. P, BenjaSIN.
" The signature of the testator, J. P.
Benjamin, was written and acknowl
edged by him in our presence and the
presence of each other at the same time,
and we sign and attest this will on this
30th day of April. A. D. 1873, in the
presence of the said J. P. Benjamin, tes
tator. Bernard vv imams, barrister s
clerk; Charles Williams, barrister's
clerk."
Governor Hoarfl y on the Stump.
Governor Hoardly was the principal
speaker at a large and enthusiastic demo
cratic ratification meeting in Cincinnati
Saturday evening. The number in at-
tendance was estimated at from 6,000 to
8,000. Governor lloadly said so large a
meeting so early in the campaign pres-
aged certain victory for the democrats.
lie compared the "Plumed Knight" of
Maine to the ostrich, a bird that does not
carry its plumage upon its head, and,
while a good runner, displayed that qual
ity best when trying to set away from an
enemy. He spoke of Gen. Logan as
"Black John Logan," whose favorite em
ployment twenty-five years ago was j
sending other black men back into slav
ery, lie spoke of Cleveland as a man
who represented neither the East nor the
West, but loth sections, and said his
nomination had united the Ohio democ
racy from Lake Erie to the Ohio river,
insuring the state to the democrats and
the practical winning of the national
campaign in October. He described Hen
dricks as the ''idol of Indiana." a man
who had once been elected Vice Presi
dent, and one whom Ohio would this
time assist in electing. This time, he
assured his hearers, Mr. Hendricks would
be inaugurated. He declared that the
republican party had given the country
a panic in 1873. and in this summer of
1SS4 had brought the country to the
vergo of a second panic. Abraham Lin
coln, he said, would have leen read out
of his party had he lived through his sec
ond term.
A Paper Floor.
Indianapolis Journal.
The first paper floor ever laid has just
been completed in the new rink on North
Pennsylvania street. This flooring is
made by pasting and pressing straw
Ixwird together under a powerful hy
draulic press, in the same way as the
discs of the paper car-wheels are made.
When these blocks are perfectly seasoned
and dried they are sawed up into floor
ing boards and laid with the edge of the
paper forming the surface of the floor.
This surface is sand-jviperetl until it is as
smooth as one vast sheet of ice, and the
adhesive quality of the paper prevents
any slipping of the roller upon the floor.
The floor being without joints, perfectly
smooth and comparatively noiseless, with
no 6lipp.ng of the rollers upon it, a n?v
pleasure and fresh attraction is given to
roller 6kating which has never before
been attained.

Tallahassee Floridian : The woman's
silk culture association, of Philadelphia,
projKise to manufacture, from Florida
cocoons, a handsome flag for the State of
Florida. That is, if Floridians will con
tribute $200 with which to purchase co
coons and defray other incidental ex
penses, the association will make and
present the flag. It is to be regulation
size, and the presentation will take place
at the inauguration of the next chief
magistrate of Florida. It is proposed to
raise the necessary funds by individusl
sulmcriptions of ten cents. Mrs. Ellen
Call Long, who takes great interest in
silk culture, heads the list with a remit
tance of one dollar. Not only would the
flag be an elegant and appropriate present
for the state, but, added to Florida's ex
hibit at New Orleans, it would become
one of the chief attractions at the great
Exposition, and do an immense amount
of effective advertising for our prosper
ous commonwealth.
