~"The French language contains 14
per cent. of useless letters. There are
6,800 journals ,published in. the: lan-
guage, and they print 108,000,000,000
letters every year, so that 14,040,000,000
letters are useless, simply because they
have ceased to be used in the French
language as it is spoken.
. peAta recent sale of the assets of a
riding academy in New York city the
saddle horses brought an average
of Jess than $30 apiece. This is said
to be the lowest price on record for
horses of this description, and the fact
was generally noted that in New York
the market value of a horse is lower
than that of a bicyele.
The ceremonies at the creation of
knights have been various. _ The. prin-
cipal was a box on the ear and a stroke
with a sword on the shoulders by a
sovereign prince. They put on him 2
shoulder belt and a gilt sword, spurs
and other military aceouterments, aft-
er which, being armed as a knight,
he was led to the church with great
pomp.

Republican Convention.
The Republican -county convention
was held here today to select delegates
to the State and Congressional conven-
tions. «All but three of the townships
were represented.
A committee of seven was appointed
to retire and select the delegates and
alternates, which they did as follows :
STATE CONVENTION,
Delegates."C. M. Bernard, C. C.
Forbes, J. W. Perkins, Joseph Atkin-
son. Alternafes"E. V. Cox, Cicero
Dawson, John Thompson, T. W. C.

Delegates,"E.. V. Cox, Manning

_, Alternates"C. M. Bernard, C. C.
Forbes, T. A. Wilkes, M, C.Gorham.
While the committee was outT E. V.
Cox was called for and responded in a
speech that was delivered as if under
| pressure, evidently not knowing exact.
|ly what to say, or he was afraid that he
might say something he ought not. ut-
ter. It-was amusing to see how he
would start to venture to assert some-
thing and then check himself with the
~remark that it was too early. The
burden of his remarks was to the Re-
jpublicans to organize and be ready to
take advantage of any emerge.cy that
might arise. He did venture to say-
though, that he would not be found
anywhere but with the Republican par-
ty whether it: was a mixed or straight
ticket. Continuing he said that he
would not be found doing much for
©} those who preferred a Democratic to a
Republican legislature, and would _re-
joice at the defeat of a Republican tick-
et. He closed by telling the conven-
Tsun wack ee nic ~kes but they;
