the wonderful genius oi sensibility
and music which endowed them both.
such pure, tender and noble souls are
made ~ each other The more fer
yid and exacting bonds Of marriage and
parcutagc did not interfere with the pro-
found sympathy in which they lived. both
when together and when apart. They
corrcsponded in music. Their emotions,
too deep and strange 10 be- conveyed In
words, like articulate thoughts, they eI-
pressed in tones. Seating themselves at
their instruments they would for hours
carry ON an intercourse perfectly intelligi-
bic 10 each other, and more adequate and
delicious than any vocal conversation,
When Felix at Naples, at Rome, or in Lon
don, semitic Fanny letter composed in note.
she translated it first with her eyes, then
with her piano, The most charming
transcriptsof these affectionate and music
al souls were thus made in music. Sweet
er or moro divinely gifted beings have
rarely appeared on this earth. Their re-
lations OF spirit were sensitive and organ

consciousness They seemed able to COM
municate tidings through the ethereal
medium by some subtle telcgraphy Of feel

belongs 10 miraculous region Of life.
For, when Fanny died in her German
home, Felix, amid, happy company in
/ England, suddenly aware Of some terrible
calamity, from the disturbance Of equil-
librium and dread sinking Of his soul.
rushed 10 the alrnn and poured out his
anguish in an improvisation Of vail

Of the equal suffrage clause, ON which the
popular vote will be taken separately.
The new constitution is the old one re-
yised, corrected and amended To meet the
large and increasing demands OF the
State, and the purpose Of the convention
in their work has been 10 avoid rather
than TO seek change The most impor-
tant amendments are those which remove
all restrictions on the ballot, or eligibility
10 office ON account of color or race, per-
nit the Legislature To submit particular
laws and questions 10 the direct vote of
all the people, and require business cor
porations 10 be formed and sustained un-
der general laws
The convention has also provided that
in 1873 the question shall be submitted
whether the Judiciary shall be appointed
by the Governor and Senate, or shall be
elected by the people. The life tenure Of
the judiciary has not been adopted, but
the elective term has been heightened
TO fourteen years in place Of the various
shorter ones now in vogue, and all the
Judges must retire on reaching the age of
20. The various courts are also some
what rcmodeled and reduced TO a better
and more uniform system. The number
Of Senators remains thirty-two, but the
division Of the State into districts is
changed, and while the number Of Repre-
sentatives is increased from l2s TO l39,
the district system is wholly abolished,
and the Representatives will be chosen by
counties, each to have at least one mem
Der, and az many more as It's population
shall entitle il to. The Senators are 10
serve four years, and the Representatives
one, and each member of the Legislature
will receive an annual salsFs-ei - 81 ,nen. :
| At special sessions Of the Legislature
no laws are TO be enacted except those re
latiye to the subjects mentioned in the
I Governors Proclamation, and TO pass 4
bill over the Governors veto will require
the consent Of two-thirds Of all the mem
bers instead of two-thirds of all present,
as now. The powers of the Legislature
do not vary much from those prescribed
I by the present constitution, and if the
provisions of the new one are faithfully
carried out, there would be far less fraud
and dishonesty than now thrives in the
/ legislative halls at Albany. The board
va canal CohtINl Is thoIouShil IeNlseu,
and the commissioners will hereafter be
appointed by the Governor. About S5,-
100000 will annually be appropriated
! TrUrI TrTu UaITaT TFyTnuC f0T the PayIntht
of the canal debt, and if the revenue falls
/ below that amount taxation will make up
the deficiency. Provision is made for
amending the constitution, according to a
prescribed form, and in the year 1888,
and every twenty years thereafter, the
question, "Shall there he a committee
chosen to amend the constitution Z" will
be decided by popular rote,-.Spriagiield
