MINORITY REPRESENTA- TON

The plan of minority representation, or
Of cumulative voting, as determined by
the new constitution Of this State, provides
that three members Of the lower branch
of the legislature shall be chosen in each
senatorial district--the point being that
each voter may give vote TO each ofthrec
candidates, or two votes to one candidate
and one to another, or all his three
votes to one candidate only.
In many districts where there Is large
and permanent majority il will give the
minority an opportunity of being represent
ted, as it is just they should be. In the
words Of the section relating to this subjec
IL is provided that "in all elections of rep
rcscntativcs aforesaid each qualified voter
may cast as many votes for one candidate
as there are representatives to
be elected, or may distribute the
same or equal parts thereof, among the
andida,es, and the candidates highest in
o.cs shall be elected ~

LOOK OUT FOR SLIGHTs.-There
are some people, yes, many people,
always looking out for Sights.
They can not carry on the daily in
tercourse of the family without sus-
l'ecting some offense is designed.
They are as touchy as hair triggers.
If they meet an acquaintance in the
street who happens to be preoccu
pied with business, they attribute
his abstraction to some motive per
sonal to themselves aui take um-
bragg accordingly They lay on
others the fault of their own irrita
bility. A fit of indigestion makes
them see imprudence in everybody
they come in contact with. limo
cent persons, who never dreamed of
giving offense, are astonished to
find some unfortunate word, OF
some momentary taciturnity, mista-
ken for an insult. To say the least
the habit is unfortunate. 1t is far
wiser to take the more charitable
view of our fellow beings. and not
suppose a slight as intended unless
the neglect is open and direct. AT
ter all. too, life takes its hue, in q
great degree, from the color of oul
own mind. If we are frank and
generous. the world treats US kindly
If on the contrary, we are suspicious,
men learn to be cold and cautious
to Us. Let person get the reputa-
ton of being touchy, and everybody
is under more or less restraint, and
in this way the chances of all imag-
mary offence are vastly increased.

A Patient Jumps from His Window
at the lnfirmary, and is instantly
Killed: rsG a azsso,}
Yesterday morning the directors
of the Infirmary were informed of
painful accident that occurred in
their hospital, by which one of the
inmates met with instant death.
An old man named John Gardner
had been an inmate Of the Infrmarys
for five years, and during nearly all
that time had been under the constant
care of a nurse and medical attend
ants. He was frequently delirious
though too weak to do any injury,
was never permitted to remain alone.
Yesterday morning at about one
O'clock the nurse waching him left
the room a few moments, and on
returning Was surprised to find the
bed empty. Casting a. few glances
around, under the bed and into the
hall, and seeing, hini nowhere the
open window struck her eye and the
horrid truth burst upon her mind.
He had jumped fro m the window,
three stories high, and lay corpse
on the ground beneath her eyes.
The officers of the establishment
were Immediately called and the body
brough into the house. Everything
was done to restore the manbut every
effort failed.--C. Leader, sst.!

Sherman's $ Tribute to Thons 9.

In his general order announcing
the death of Gen. Geo. H.. Thomas,
General Sherman says: r
"The General has known General
Thomas intimately since they sat as
boys on the same bench, and the
quality in him which he holds up
for the admiration and example for
the young is his complete and en-.
tire devotion to duty. Though
sent to Florida, to Mexico, Texas
and Arizona, when duty there was
absolute banishment, he went cheer
fully, and never asked a personal
favor, exemption, or leave of alb
sence. In battle, he never wavered.
Firm, and full of faith in his cause,
he knew it would prevail, and he
never sought advancement of rank
or honor at the expense of any one.
Whatever he earned of these were
his own. and no one disputed his
fame. The very impersonation OF
honesty, integrity and honor, he
will stand to the United States AZ
the beau ideal of the soldier and
gentleman. Though he leaves no
child to bear his name, the old
Army of the Cumberland, numbered,
by tens of thousands, called him
father, and will weep for him in
tears of manly grief. His wife, who
cheered him with her massa9es of
love in the darkest hours OF war.
will MOURN him now in sadness,
ehastened by the sympathy Of the
whole country. The last sad rites
due him as man and soldier will
be paid at Troy, New York, ON the
arrival of his remains, and the
friends of his family and all Of his
comrades who can be present, arc
invited there to share in the obse-
qu;es. At all military posts and
stations flags will be placed at half
mast, and five guns fired Oh the day
after the receipt of this order, and

Brown was slightly confused. He

How should any one there Know his
