An Englishman's Appreciation of Yankee

The perversity with which some people
adhere to the Qaeen's English, utterly re-
fusing to comprehend the modem stvle
of rhetoric, as found in the terse signifi
can't phrases and sentences of every day
business conversation, very often proves
sorely trying to the patience of those
adopts in Yankee slang and pointed alb
breviations. A good story is related by
well-known lake captain who has been
running a Buffalo propeller for several
years past. Some time since he had

fine horses ON sale exhibition, and desiring
to present his daughter and on-in-law with
something in that line, he stepped up and

English view of American Religion

An English traveller in the United States
contrasts the labOrers OF this country with
those of England in regard TO their respect
for religious observances. He was in car
of the Union Pacific Railroad, in company
with large number of workingmen bound
for the company's workshops at Cheyenne.
In the morning quiet looking gentlemen
rose and said: Silence, if you please,
ladies and gentlemen. for the word of God
''lnstantly every rough head was uncov-
cred, every rife dropped into its place, and
revolver belted, as the quiet looking man
proceeded to read a few verses from the
Bible, appropriately selected for our
position as travellers. The conductor, who
just then entered the car to look at
our tickets, removed his cap and took the
nearest seat, and everybody was as orderly
and reverent as if the car had been
church. The reading over, another of the
excursionists prayed for about ten minutes
in plain, simple language, in which any
man could have mentally Joined, whether
Christian or Hindoo, so long as he believed
In the existence of God. After the pray er
a hymn, which / noticed most of those
present were able TO join in, was sung, and
the service came to an end. Such scene
would have been impossible in England,
but nobody appeared to think tan out-of-
the-way proceeding in America / scanned
the faces of my fellow-wotshippers to see
If could detect an irreverent smile or
sheepish look, such as would certainly
have beeh observable under similar circum-
stances at home, but every man, soldier
and civilian alike, looked dignifed and

good story illustrative of the responsibility
Of travellers in that region for introducing
the vices of civilization. Agentleman who
had good supply Of liquor in his camp
was generous enough to treat his guide.
This unsophisticated forester got SO furi-
ously drunk that his employer was afraid
to stay in camp with him, and essayed to
get away; but his guide intercepted him,
and forced him at the point of the pistol to
row the boat with the guide as passenger,
all the way 10 the next inn.

There is no form of heritage more re-
markable than that of the tendency to sui.

of intellect Or. Winslow relates the case of
q family where all the members exhibited,
when they arrived at certain age, q desire
to commit self-destruction; to accomplish
which, the greatest ingenuity and industry
were manifested. DR.. Gall relates q very
striking instance of seven children of one
man who all enjoyed competency and
good health, yet all possessed rage for
suicide. and all yielded to it within thirty
or forty years. ''Some hanged, some
drowned themselves, and others blew ont
their brains" Many other examples of the
same tendency are brought forward by the
same writer. may add one case to the

By Mr.. Csldwell-That the Conslitu-
ton or form Of government. which SAID
Convention may adopt, shall not be OF
any binding force or efficacy until .hs
same has been submitted TO and ra'ihed
by the people Of the State, in such man
ner and in such time as the Convention
may provide.
We will suggest for the information OF
Mr.. Caldwell, the in;roducer of the above
proposition, that the Legislature cannot
restrict the Convention to any line OF
duty whatever. A Constitutional Con-
yention, of the people, is the highest au-
thority known 10 this Government, and
the Insignificant thing Of State Lsgisla-
ture cannot bind it down, no matter what
some may think to the contrary.
In word, the Convention can de-
s.roy the Legislature, or so restrict
its powers as to render it Q thing
of the smallest Importance. This
amendment is as foolish as Dinahs
attempting to biad the sleeping and un-
shorn Samson with whip cords. The
Convention, after it has been awakened
into life, is supreme. and can, if it chooses
or not, submit its action to the people.
Mr.. Caldwell had better read somebody's
treaties on Constitutional Conventions
before Introducing any more bills on this
subject into the Hoose Time is now too
precious to be engaged ia sach tomfoolery
as this. We demand the Convention.
