REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
Adopted at Minneapolis, Sept. 10th, 1874.

Adopted at Minneapolis, Sept. 10th, 1874.
We, misrepresentation of the Republican
party of Minnesota in State Convention as
sembled, do hereby adopt and declare the
following:
Resolued, That while reafirming the prin-
ciples and renewing the pledges enunciated
and given by the Republican party in its
last State and National Conventions, and
recognizing the ability and general fidelity
which have mnrked both State and nation
al administrations in the discharge of the
public trusts respectively committed to
them, We can point with especial pride to
the firm maintenance of our foreign rela-
tons upon the basis of justice and right,
and such as has secured respect and friend
ship abroad and peace and confidence at
home; the judicious enforcement of all
laws having for their object the protection
OF all classes of our citizens both North and
South in their just, civil and political
rights, and the whole country against the
perils of insurrection and a new rebellion,
the preservation of the public faith and the
constant improvement of the public credit;
the reduction of the public debt and the
consequent removal of the burdens of tax
alton; the preservation of sound currency
against any ruinous imitation inspired by
speculative interests, which may be hailed
as sure guarantee of the earliest possible
return to specie payment consistent with
the just rights of both the debtor and credi-
tor classes of our people; and above all
the constant vigilance manifested in hunt
ing out and exposing to public condemna-
ton delinquent officials and corruption in
office wherever and whenever found, re-
gardless of supposed party interests and
party relations, and the correction of all
abuses as fast as discovered its prompt re-
spouse to the popular demand by the repeal
of the Congressional salary bill and other
obnoxious legislation, and its readiness to
grapple with new issues growing out of the
relations of corporate power and produc-
tive industry by the Inauguration of meas
ures looking to the protection of the latter
against all unjust encroachments Of the for
mer, and by the opening up of new and
cheaper channels of communication by wa
ter between the granaries Of the West and
the markets of the East, as sure guarantees
that the grand old party that saved the
country is still true to the principles that
gave it birth, in hearty sympathy with the
popular will able and willing to admins
ter the government in the interests of an
enlightened economy and just regard to
the public welfare, and is worthy the conf
dence and support of the people.
Resolued, That we heartily approve of the
prosecution of the persons charged by the
report OF the Senate committee with de-
frauding the school fund.

even get into ripe Hubbard squashes
and into watermelons and destroy
them.
We are beginning to have little
grasshopper knowledge, and the more
we know the less we fear; but what
we do fear is enough. If they come
before the middle of September they
are not likely to stay, nor to lay eggs.
They seem to lay their eggs where
they die, which they do late in No.
vember. If they are on their travels
they do not reach US until early
wheat and corn are so far advanced
as to be beyond their ability to de-
stroy. Therefore there need be no
fear of their taking away our bread
if we get the grain in early ; but the
grasshopper is terrible enemy to the
lazy farmer. If he comes late and
lays eggs the case is quite different,
for the young fry come out in June
and whatever is green on their hatch
ing ground is destroyed, and there is
no possible chance Of saving it. But
the eggs are not laid over the whole
country. Generally the eggs are laid
on ground that had a green crop in
the fall, or on sandy ridges and bluffs
where the ground is not cultivated.
The rule would be, then, to be sure
to SOW no grain on ground where
eggs are deposited, and to trust to
keeping them off when they begin to
move. When they are young they
can only crawl, but they must eat or
die, though it is uncertain how. long

THE Snow PLANr-A FLOWER OF
STRANGE BEAUTY.-One of the grandest
objects which meets the eye of the traveller
in our mountains is the exquisite plant,
the Snow Plant of the Sierras-the Sa-
crodes Sanguinea of John TORY, the bot
anist. 1t is an inhabitant only of the higher
Sierras, being rarely found below an alti-
tude of 1000 feet, and it's glorious crimson
spike of flowers may be seen early in May
forcing itself through the SHOWS which at
that period cling about the sides of our
pine forests. The portion of the plant
which is visible above the soil is a bright
rosy crimson in color, and presents the very
strongest contrast to the dark green of the
pines and the simmer of the snow. Its
root is succulent, thick and abundantly full
of moisture, attaching itself to the roots of
other plants, principally to the pine family.
Hence it is among those curious members
of the vegetable world which are known to
botanists as parasites, and is consequently
entirely incapable of cultivation. The
deer are extrememely fond of it. and it is
not an uncommon circumstance to find a
number of the plants uprooted and robbed
of the t1eshy part of their underground
growth by these animals. 1t belongs to
the natural order Orobanchacea, and ia met
with through the whole of the Sierra re-
gion, becoming rarer as we approach the
South.

MEMORY OF THE EYE.-Artists often
train their memories to a remarkable de-
gree of power. W1grath, the great English
painter, used at first to sketch upon his
thumb nail the grotesque faces which he
met in his ramblings. But MS his memory
grew stronger he used to learn them by
heart, as the children phrase it, aud could
produce them on paper with undertaking
fidelity. William Hart, one of the greatest
of American landscape painters, has train
ed himself in corresponding manner. At
first he used to stop and sketch little scenes
that struck his fancy, but now he commits
them to memory and draws them at home.
Many persons have compared these draw
ings from memory with the actual. scenes
and have found an astonishing accuracy
even in matters of unimportant detail
The writer has seen a little eepia repro
duction from recollection, and compared it
with the place. 1t was simply a pool of
water, with some pollard willows in the
foreground, low slope of hills. with a cot
tage or two, in the distance. Tho wonder
about the matter was the extraordinary
fidelity with which the limbs of the trees
had been remembered. They were abpor-
mally projected in every direction forming
quite a singular and somewhat compile
Gated treillage, 80 that it seemed strange
that an eye could have seen so much in so
momentary a glance. But, like Hogarth,
Hart has trained his memory and his eve
together, and they obey him.-Ner York

The greatest triumph of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan was his speech at the impeach-
ment of Warren Hastings. Fox said that
"all he had ever read, when compared with
it, dwindled into nothing, aud vanished
like vapor before the sun" Pitt, ever
slow to acknowledge the triumph OF his
rivals, declared it surpassed all the "elo
quence of ancient and modern times, and
possessed everything that genius or tact
could furnish to agitate and control the
human mind. "Logau was Hastings couu-
sci and defender. After Sheridan had
spoken for an hour, he said "This is de-
clamatory assertion without proof" At
the end of another hour, he said, "This is a
most wonderful Grafton" In another hour,
'Mr. Hastings has acted very uniustif-
ably" In an hour more he exclaimed,
"Mr. Hastings is a most atrocious Grim
inal" Aud before Sheridan had finished
his speech Logan became boisterous, and
exclaimed aloud, "0f all the monsters of
iniqnity, the most enormous is Warren

A new air machine has lately been put
in operation in the House of Commons,
London. BY means of this apparatus
constant supply of air, cooled to any re-
Quired degree even in the warmest weather
can be supplied at the rate of from &c, 900
to 10000 gallons per minute. The House
contains about 100000 gallons of air, SO
that, when the apparatus is working at
it's maximum, it is possible to renew the

THE FLOWER MIssIoN--Th.s graceful
and beautiful title is given '"nr a-."ri.
ton of ladies who are "-:ar' I'D f.'r the
purpose of utilizing the tir"r's, h"f'' wild
and cultivated, that wun!s, otherwise
waste their sweetness on the desert air"
They are voluntary contributions, and are
distributed by the ladies' of the mission
among the hospitals, homes, orphan asy-
go ont to enjoy pature's beauties. This
beautiful thought originated in the minds
of women, whose gentle sympathies are
ever active and constant, and, like the
ceaseless flow of the ocean tide, are ever
seeking new channels to expeud them
selves. IT'S thus these frail and eloquent
messengers of Gods love and bounty, with
the associations of Eden still clinging about
them, are gathered in their dewy fragrance
from shady nook and f1owery field to ind
their way to the weary couch of suffering
and the home of the afflicted. The dis.
tribution takes place every Monday at
Horticultural Hall. We cannot too strong
ly commend this charity to the support of
our readers. There are hundreds of poor,
sick persons, pining in little rooms, in
crowded courts and alleys, who can see
nothing bnt the bare walls of their scantiy
furnished room, or the equally cherries
view from its windows of dingy buildings,
and the stones or bricks of the pavement
below, to whom the bright colors and sweet
perfume of a few flowers would be CRATE
full as q draught of cool water to q thirsty
traveller in desert land. By all means
help the Flower Missions. Catholic
