SHERIDIANA.-That amusing and Cos

Shrridan's natural talent for swindling
In fact, be had ouch born genius that way,
that but for the high station in which he
moved he would probably have been exal-
ted--on the gallows, or transported--tc
Botany Bay. While yet in his teens, just
after leaving Harrow school, Sheridan, We
are told, "was spending a few days al
Bristol, and wanted pair Of new boots
but could not afford to pay for them. Short
ly before he left he called on two bOOtma
kers and ordered of each pair, promising
payment on delivery. He fixed the morn
ing of his departure for the tradesmen t.
send in their goods When the first ar
rived he tried on the boots, complained tina
that for the right foot pinched little, anC
ordered Crispin to take it back, stretch it
and bring it again at nine the next morning
The second arrived soon after, and thi
time it was the boot for the isjt foot whicl
pinched. Same complaint; same orde
given; each had taken away only tn,
pinching boot, and left the other behind
The same afternoon Sheridan left in hi
new boots for town, and when the two shoe
makers called at nine the next day, eacl
with boot in his hand, we can imagine
their disgust at finding how neatly they
had been dured.'

that gross frauds have been committed in buying

MISSOURI STATE CONVENTION.

This body met in adjourned session on Friday last.
Gov. Gamble sent to them the following brief Mes
sage:
In the exercise Of the power which you have CON
ferred upon me, have called the body TO assemble
at this time to consider and adopt such measures ss
the welfare Of the State may re luire.
Although there IL no eOnst tutional requirement
that should communicate 70 you nay views OF the
condition Of the State, or recommend any measures
for your ADOPTION yet there seems 70 be propriety
in my stating the reasons for calling you together at
this lime.
You need not be informed by me that, throughout
the length and breadth Of the State there is
isting civil war that threatens the destructious OF
all Government, and strikes at the very foundation
Of society. You are acquainted already with the
situaLion'uf affairs in our State.
The obligations which rest upon the Chief EKecu'
tive to preserve order and peace In the community,
Ito enforce the laws, and TO suppress, by force,
combinations against the State require that MOI
efficient measures for the organization OF the mill
tary power of the State should DO adopted than now
exist. The act of 1889, which you revised q; your
last session, and made the law for the organization
Of volunteer forces, is found upon trial 70 be q
most inefficient law in the present times, which re-
quire pronptitude and energy.
IL Is therefore assigned as one OF the principal
reasons for calling the Convention that you should
adopt military law, more simple and more emeen'
than that now existing. a..
Yon are aware further that the treasury Oh the
State ia empty. The Treasurer reported 70 MO on
