The st. Louis Convention.

The Convention consisted of Sagacious
and adroit men of both political parties
selected for their representative character,
and without reference to any known
views Of theirs upon the subject before
the Convention yet when they came to-
gether and compared views it was found
that a perfect unanimity of sentiment pre-
vailed upon the main question. The reso-
lutions adopted, strong as they are in tone,
were not i'll advance of the well-settled
convictions and purpose of the Conven-
ton. Nor was there that degree OF local
feeling and jealousy, which some had pre-
dicted, upon the point of location. Chi
cago was supposed by some to have de-
signs upon the capital; and the delegate
from this city felt free to admit that on
proper terms, if it were the choice of the
nation at large, Chicago would be glad to
have the capital come to her. But Chica-
go would rather have the capital at St.
Louis than at Washington and he did not
see why st. Louis would not rather have
the capital at Chicago than at Washing
ton Itseemed to be universally conceded,
not only by the st. Louis representatives,
but by the delegates generally, that the
true position to be taken is, that the re-
moval of the capital to the Mississippi
Valley is the main question, upon which
all can agree, and that the minor question
of location may be left, without discussion,
to Congress.
The resolutions of the Convention,
adopted in this spirit, have been published
in nearly every journal IN the country,
from Maine to California. The comments
of the press have reached us only from
the nearest points. We publish those of
two leading Detroit papers, which had at
first distrusted, but now warmly indorse
the action of the Convention.
The capital movement is now fairly be-
fore the country, and its present headway
ensures that no further expense will be
laid out on the existing buildings at Wash
ington. Every day adds to the ranks of
its supporters among men oftrue conserv-
ative wisdom and influence We conf
IDENTIFY expect within very few years to
witness its complete success. The New
England capitalists are interested in its
favor, because their large investments of
capital are here. The all-powerful railway
and carrying interests traversing the heart
ofthe country east and west are interested
in it, for they do not lead to its present,
but will lead to its future location. The
nation .at large is interested in it, on
grounds of impartial justice and expedien-
Cy. Inc SIosS COeI VIII NC put uoli'i
head for our entire population, and two
thirds of this will have to be expended at
Washington if the capital remains where
it is. IF the generation of 1894 could in
cur an expense of ten dollars per head of
their then population to carry it to point
more central, and, in their view, suitable,
than New York or Philadelphia, can we
not look forward to an expense per capita
one-tenth as great, to secure the perma-
nent location of the nations capital in the
heart of the country - Chica0o Tribune.

A Smart Dog.

The milwaukee Wisconsin, is RESPONSE
BILE for the following The steamer No.
of the Fire Department has dog of the
Newfoundland and Shepherd species that
is thought great deal OF, and is certainly
a knowing animal. A few days ago an
alarm of fire was given and the dog was
all excitement While waiting for the
horses to be hitched up, the dog observed
a little girl standing before the engine
horses and in danger of being run over.
The dog seemed to appreciate the danger
of the child and gave several warning
notes for it to get out of the way; but the
child, carried away by curiosity, stood and
looked on calmly.
AS the horses were about to dash out of
the door, the dog, with an instinct worthy
of notice, took the child by the arm with
his mouth and dragged it outside, and en-
tirely out of danger. Then leaving the
little one lying by the road side, to be
taken care of by those who looked on, the
animal, with happy wag OF his tail,
dashed on after the steamer, as if he had
only done his duty and wanted no reward.
The boys of No. think all the world of
this dog, and well they may.

A MAGIC concert was lately given at a
private party in Paris. The ir rstruments
were placed on platform, and there were
Nc performers visible, but the overture to
civilian Tell was heard distinctly to
issue from the piano, violin, cello, and
harp, which made up the orchestra. The
concert took place in broad daylight. The
explanation was that each Of the instru-
ments was connected by bar of wood
with an identical instrument in an adjoin-
ing room, on which the performers played.
