railways are necessary, that reform
in railway management is essen ial;
that uniform freight rates should be
adopted, and that legislation favora-

seA-On account of tho late hour of

Holloway, we were unable to pub
fish as a part of the proceedings of
the convention the Senators speech
of acceptance. 1t was as follows and
will bear second reading:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen ofhs Convention:
acknowledge that a Is with sincere pleasure that
accept this re-nomi nation and Il is an assurance
on your part that you believe have been faithful to
your interests during the past term and l wish 10
say here that my first desire In the past II shall
ever be in the future, is 20 promote the welfare Of
the friends whom have had the honor TO represent
in the Senate Of this State
The Republican Convention Of this State has but
recently closed its labors and they have presented
for your consideration and support an unusually
good ticket, l am personally acquainted with all
the leading men on Il and 1 have no hesitation in
rronouncing them honest and we'll qualified for tho
positions 70 which they are nominated, From the
governor down they have shown themselves the true
friends 81 the producing classes and | believe the
Changers OF this State could have no truer friend or
more able representative, than they will have in the
per,on Of Governor Washburn.
lt seems &C. me unnecessary "a this late day 10 de.
nounce the various schemes OF fraud corruption aud
ineying which have prevailed in official circles dur
ing the past five years. for public opinion and COM
mon sense are as unit against them but while we
~ Republicans hold that the Republican Party is not
responsible for the individual acts OF our public men,
we should show them aud the country that we do
not approve their acts and that our Indignation IL
genuine, by letting the offenders quietly rest in the
political graves which they have so industriously
constructed for themselves
believe the time Is coming il IL has not already
when the private character Of asprauts to OH
will be criticised closely a. their public career
aud this crticisng believe TO he duty you owe 10
yourselves for II mans private life Is not character
ICED by honest integrity aud morality what can Won
expect Of him In public capacity.
There has been a question raised as 20 how stand
ON the Salary Grab question. / will repeat my rec.
ord Of last winter Immediately after the passage of
the hill by Congress caucus Of Republican Senators
ON the question requested me 20 draft resolution
expressing the sense OF the thereon the reso
luton WAS drawn, approved by the caucus and pass

resolution can be seen at my Office and It's sentiment
still approve
Bat gentlemen will not detain you only 10 thank
you Tor the compliment ~ to-day aud especially for
tse manner IA which II has been conferred.
The denomination Ex-senator Hol-
loway gives the best of satisfaction
to the people, and his re election by
a large majority in November is thus
assured.

The Art of Cultivating Unhappiness.

The chase after happiness, or the
pleasure which we dignity by calling it
happiness, is generally supposed to be
the common occupation of all the world.
But this is by no means the case. There
are people too apathetic to care about
happiness at all. Some there are who
pursue it in nh inverted form, they find
pleasure in being unhappy, and happi-
ness in making themselves and all
around them miserable; while othersdo
really prefer tragedy to comedy, and, if
they can get it in no other way, they
will create tragedy or the illusion of it
in private life. There are few actors,
either good or bad, who have not at
some time believed that their role was
tragedy; and it is thus with these every
day actors on the worlds broad stage.
There is II certain dignity in the claim.
The tragedies of Euripides rank higher
than the comfortable sayings of Horace.
81 also have suffered, they proudly say.
"In sorrow only seek for consolation. "
| Clearly there are as many ways of be-
ing or doing the ono thing as there are
of being or doing the other To culti-
vate habits of ready forgiveness, of
earnest and persistent cheerfulness
| about small things, of looking on the
| bright side, carries n man long way in
| one direction. To such, however. as
choose the oppisite path we volunteer
some well-intentioned advice. Those
who find their pleasure, or, If that be
too strong II word, their satisfac-
ton, in developing unhappiness in
and for themselves and others must
bring to their task as much care and
concentration of purpose rs if the OBJ
ect were not only good and wise in it,
self, but in the nature Of things abso-
lutely necessary and the means to this
end should be the subject of serious
reflection. A well-sustained arti-
fetal physiognomy or demeanor of any
kind often turns counterfeit into reality.
If man fixes his face for good temper,
he almost compels himself to be good
tempered whereas by assuming perpet-
ually Il pecvish expression, peevish
temper is engendered. But this is
work of time. OF course, the better
and more thorough method is to ere
ate in your own breast the sentiment
you desire to manifest. And this with
practice becomes u matter of the utmost
facility, laying down line beforehand,
50 that in representing un appiness you
may not appear in the character of dcs-
pair. r.-E0H NAL Ga2ctc.

Brigham and his Wives.

Brigham Young is reported to have
expressed himself rs follows in one Of
his recent "sermons in Salt Lake
City: 81 wish my women to under
stand that what / am going to say is for
them as well as others, and want those
who are here to tell their sisters, yes,
all the women in the community. am
going to give you from this time to the
9th of October next for reflection, that
you may determine whether you wish
to stay with your husbands or not, and
then | am going to set every woman at
liberty, and say to them, "now, 90 your
way" And my wives have got to do
one of two things, either round up their
shoulders to endure the aiflictions OF
this world, and live their religion, that
is, polygamy, or they must leave; for |
will not have them about me. | will
90 into heaven alone rather than to have
scratching and fighting about me. /
will set all at liberty. What, first wife,
too? Yes, liberate you all. | want to
90 somewhere or do something to get
rid of the winners. | do not want them
to receive part of the truth and spurn
the rest out of doors. Let every man
thus treat his wives; keeping raiment
enough to cover his body, and say to
your wives, take all that ] have and be
set at liberty; but, if you stay with me,
you shall comply with the law of God
in every respect, and that, too, without
any murmuring or whining. You must
fulfill the law of God in every respect,
and round up your shoulders to walk
up to the mark without any gruntlng.

The Manitoban Dundreary.


Gordon bears close resemblance to
Sothern as Dundreary-a smallish face !;
dark curly hair; no mustaches; heavy
"mutton chop" side whiskers small
nose, retrousse; man of medium size,
who gives the impression of always
commanding himself. In requirements
and power of execution he seems to be
sort of count of Monte Christie, a good
Judge of men, and supreme master OF
Contingencies" He has wonderful
range of languages, and also of Ian
guage, from the lowest billingsgate to
the most elegant and Howery flights,
from indecency, obscenity and profanity
to the highest reaches of sentiment and
philosophy. He has sharply contra
dicted character in all respects. Al
times in business he is cool and far.
sighted, striking right to the center Of
the mark, and again he is puerile as q
school-boy; sometimes resolute and
strong, and again weak and vacillating
sometimes serious, and again volatile.
The only element of character in which
he is consistent is his entire lack of pos
tive conviction. He was generally po-
lite and even courteous during his short
life in Minnesota, but he seemed to
have no more moral purpose than a
! fawn or Yucatan ape.

History Written in Song.

II has been we'll said that the history
of most European nations might be ga
thered from their song. This is pre-
eminently true of Great Britain. Every
change in her public mind or political
state may be traced for centuries through
the floating fragments of songs and bal
lads. The destroying war of the roses,
the tumults of the reformation, the
Spanish armada and the protracted strife
of Cavalier and Roundhead, with its in
tervening fear of catholicism, all have
been chanted, down to the revolution OF
1858, the Jacobite rebellions and the
death of Napoleon. 1t is strange tc
meet in these old airs and rhymes the
themes that agitated perished genera
tions and are now scarcely remembered
but they are almost the only medium
through which glances can be caught Of
the mental history of the masses, un
recorded as it is by either sage or chron
icler. Legislators, especially in un
taught and arbitrary times, often pu
forth their powers against adverse songs
