BE Your Own JUDGE.--No matter what our
party predictions may be, it is our duty as
good citizens to carefully scan the character
and fitness of the candidates on each ticket,
select the best and most capable men from
among them, and cast our suffrages in their
favor. BY such intelligent action as this
alone can we demonstrate our fitness for and
our appreciation of the high and honorable
privileges of citizenship, and give an earnest
Of our desire to reform the abuses of party
politics. So long as we do not make it a
rule to vote only for good and worthy n en-,
so long will conventions outrage decency
and public opinion by forcing upon us for
official station the mentally inferior and
morally rotten Of their partizans. 1t is high
time that this were stopped by our people
that conventions were taught wholesome
lesson, viz: that success can only be won by
the presentation of men of talent and char
acter as candidates.-.Sonord Herald.

CONSTITUTIONAL CoNyENTIoN.-Upon

CONSTITUTIONAL CoNyENTIoN.-Cpon this
subject contemporary observes:
To the mining counties it has become a
necessity, not long to be avoided that the
judiciary system should be remodeled in or
der to simplify, and thereby reduce the enor-
nous expenses of our county governments.
Under the present system more than one-half
of the expenses of mining counties arise
from The criminal business. Long and un-
necessary delay occurs before criminals can
be tried. Again the system imposes the per-
formance of jury duty to an extent unknown
in any other State, which operates as Sc
we're and burdensome tax upon the hundreds
who are compelled to perform it at great per-
sonal inconvenience and expense. These
things are susceptible of vast improvement.
The way to Improvement is by new Con-
stitution, and that we must have to effect
any change for the better
Will not the press of the State take up this
subject before election day? 1t is of far
more consequence to the people, the men
whose pockets are heavily taxed for the sup
port of government, than the details of the
Senatorial contest of 81. The one is inti-
mately connected with the future prosperity
of the State, the other is neither profitable
or pleasing to discuss.

THE ApoTHEosIs OF CRINoLINE.-The

bany Argus funnily yet truly writes:
The way the balloon was discovered was
this: During the reign of Farthingales, in
the second dynasty of Hoops, a Parisian
washerwoman left one of these enormous
garments on elothesline in the yard to dry,
but left beneath it her charcoal pan for
the smoothing iron. The garment fastened
close at the waist, as it swelled with the
volume Of hot air, disengaged itself and
rose upwards, as if, with touch of feminine
loveliness in it, it aspired heavenwards.
Young Montgolfier saw it rise, and with it
an idea rose in his mind-just as when the
apple fell, Newton WAS struck with his the
ory of gravitation, and the consequence was
the invention of the balloon Let no man,
viewing this fact, point his finger at crinoline
except TO exalt it.
Thus Montgolfer became the first Colum-
bus of the air under the protection of pet
4. ticoat-that same agis which Isabella of
Aragen extended over the discoverer of our
continent.

RELIGIOUS ANECDoTEs.-A drunken wretch
went to hear a Universalst preach. The
preacher argued that no matter how degra-
ded or abandoned a man might be, he still
would be saved. The drunkard became much
interested in doctrine which left some room
for hope. Unfortunately, however, in the
midst of the argument the speakers mind
became clouded and confused and he com
menced bluhdering and staggering as though
about to break down. The drunkard seeing
this, arose, and supporting himself against
the wall, cried out; Put her through, Bob,
