Cleveland. Sept. 14.—Judge Ell Torrance of Minneapolis wa? unan imously elected connnander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic at the day's session of the annual con vention. General Daniel E. Sickles of New York withdrew from the fight, leav ing the field to Stewart and Torrance. The Western man had been quietly gaining in strength on his own per sonality since the opening of the en campment. The withdrawal of Gener al Sickles also threw a heavy vote to Torrance, so that when the balloting commented the latter had a walka way. The ballot stood 230 to 470 in favor cf Torrance when Comrade Wagner, who ha 1 the Stewart inter ests in hand, moved to make Tor rance's election unanimous. Other national officials were elected as follows: Senior Vice commander. John Mc-Elroy. editor National Trib une junior vice commander. James 0'Donn»-ll. C'irter post. Chicago sur geon general. W. R.

The unfavorable news regarding the condition of the president cast a de cided gloom over the convention. Th-re was a manifest disinclination to transact any business while th^ death tlv» chief executive seemed imminent. Consequently the election of offi '.*rs was rushed and the 33th annual convention of the G. A. R. ab ruptly terminated. The naming of the place for holding the next f-n'-ampmem was referred to the administration council. Mr*. Calista R. Jones of Bradford.

On attempting to turn one over Le is surprised to find that it is anchor ed to the ground by roots of great strength. These are not bowlders. They are trees. No other place in the world can show such a peculiarity of "forest" growth. The Falkland Islands are ex posed to a strong polar wind which ren ders it impossible for trees to grow in tbe proper form.

Sir Walter Italeigh seems to have had pretty taste in stimulants, to Judge by his "cordial water," the recipe for which is copied from a cookbook near ly 300 years old. This is how Sir Wal ter concocted his favorite drink: "Take a gallon of strawberries and put them Into a pint of aqua vit v (brandy). Let them stand so four or five days. Strain them gently out and sweeten the water as you please with fine sugar or else with perfume." Queen Elizabeth was exceedingly fond cf perfumes, and, according to this old book, her favorite scent was made in this manner: "Take eight spoonfuls of compound water, lie weight of twopence in fine powdered sugar and boil It on hot embers or coals softly. Add half an ounce of sweet marjoram, dry it In the sun. the weight of twopence of powdered benjamin (benzoin?*. This perfume is very good and sweet for the time." Shorts In a Corner.
