Il CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION or
NOTHING.

In the presence of the general desire of
tuition of the State at as early a period as
practicable, various plans have been suggest
ed to do away with an assemblage of the
people, and to substitute commission to be
composed of certain number of LAWYERS,
or of the Supreme and District Judges, to
prepare constitution to be submitted to the
Legislature, and by the Legislature submit
ted to the people. We suppose the commits
mission would be appointed by the Governor
or the Legislature, or by both.
We are opposed to all this new tangled
plan. The constitution never contemplated
any such proceeding. All power is in the
people, and the people should frame the or.
ganic law. We are willing to trust the pee.
pie. 1t is far safer than to delegate author.
ity to a packed commission. The WORD

We are opposed to all departures from
methods and procedures contemplated
by the constitution, tried by experience anc
hallowed by precedents. Let us get back tc
Democratic government instead of initiating
Venetian oligarchies.
AS to commission composed of the So

parent nonsense. It is the business O.

FREEBORN COUNTY.
To the Honorable the House of Representatives
of the State of Minnesota:
We, the undersigned petitioners. residents of
Freedom county, have heard with deep regret
the charges presented to your Honorable BODY
against the Hon. Sherman Page, Judge of the
Tenth Judicial District, and we, your petition
ers, from our knowledge of Judge Page, de-
rived from acquaintance of his manner of con-
Quoting business on the bench in our county. do
not hesitate to declare that notwithstanding
such charges, which proceed from only one coun,
ty of said district, that our confidence in the
purity, integrity and impartiality of our Judge
remains mistaken; and we know, too. that in
the locality where these charges originated
there has for the last twelve years, land lono
before Judge Page went upon the bench. been
q bitter personal and political warfare made
upon him, occasioned by his firm and unvield-
ing adherence to principle. and his firm OWEN
ton to official corruption, and we believe that
these charges originated in the malice rather
than sense of injured Justice. and
We feel that Judge Page has I'M
Justly suffered during the last year
from causeless yituperation and abuse and
n YOU'D most respectfully petition your honora-
Die body to accord to Judge Page full fair
and thorough investigation of the full merits
OF these charges. That since these charges have
been made part of the record of your honora-
BILE body, Judge Page may be accorded full
and ample opportunity to vindicate himself
before your body, and that you hear Judge
Page and his witnesses, should he desi to pre-
the Judges of the State and the law-abiding
citizens of his district, before imposing upon
him the natural aspersions, or the burdens that
must follow from the preferment of charges.

Love Outwitting the Sentries.


A gentleman of Savory who had fallen
in love with a young Countess at Dres-
den found the utmost difficulty 1T getting
access to her. A window belonging to
the Countess had, indeed. been quite con-
veiently arranged by the chambermaid to
get in by, but certain sentinels, whose
walk was in front of of it, seemed to rem
der all approach in that way impracti-
cable. At length the gentleman ordered
his calt de-ctama6re to disguise himself
and steal by night to the sentinels and
divert their attention from the window.
The man did as he was directed,
went up to the soldiers and, after some
consideration, produced bottle of
brandy, OF which he gave them a liberal
allowance. He then showed them stone
in the pavement, which was in the walk
of sentinels but remote from the window,
and told them he wanted this stone for q
chemical experiment. He offered each
of the grenadiers a lois-d'or If they
would assist him and dig up the stone
with their bayonets. They took him Tor
a fool. and accepted his money, and he
obtained what he wanted. In the mean
time hls master slipped through the win
down unperceived The genadiers, quar-
reiing about the money, the story of the
stone came out, and made great noise, 1t
being supposed that the robber of the
stone was some Italian in disguise, who
had carried off an invaluable jewel, nor
was it until 1774-twenty-tw years
after the event that the secret trans
pired.

A Grasshopper Weather.Yane.

On the top of The Royal exchange, in
London, is curious weather-vane, not
like any other in England, or perhaps in
the world. 1t is huge grasshopper, and
the following account shows how it came
to be put up there:
About $50 years ago, woman, with a
little baby in her arms, was trudging
along a country lane. Presently, after
looking to see that no one was watching
her, she climbed over the gate into a
field, and wrapping the baby in its little
shawl, she laid it down in the grass, so
gently as not to awake it, and then, never
even looking behind her, she climbed
over the gate again into the lane, on her
journey.
The baby soon woke. and began to cry,
and it cried for long, long time. And
at last, tired and hungry, and hot with
the sun, for it was fine summers day,
it was wearied out snd dropped off to
sleep again. ''But God had heard the
voice Of the lad'
By and-by down the lane came q
schoolboy. He was whistling away, as
happy as ever could be; he had come out
of school and was going home. He lived
at the farmhouse little way further up
the lane Now he gathered few prim-
roses, now he had shy at a bird; but
Just as he came to the G tie over which
the woman had climed, he heard grass
hopper chirping away so loudly that he
sprang over the gate to catch him-and
there was the baoy, fast asleep! Far
more pleased than if he had caught a
hundred grasshoppers, the boy took up
the little fellow aud ran home with his
prize The kind farmers wife, although
she had many children of her own, at
once determined to keep the little orphan
who had been saved from death by a
grasshopper.
Years passed away, and the baby be-
came strong boy, the boy grew to be a
man; he went to London and became a
merchant God blessed all he did, and
he rose to be the most noted man in the
city. Queen Elizabeth was then on the
throne, ard often did she send for Sir
Thomas Gresham-for the little deserted
boy had become aknight-to consult him
on the great affairs of state.
About three hundred years ago, Sir
Thomas Gresham founded the Exchange.
The queen came to dine with him and
laid the first stone. And there, upon the
topmost pinnacle, Sir Th 1mas placed a
grasshopper; and there it is to-day, to tell
the busy, toiling city that Almighty God
can hear the infants cry, and can save a
valuable life by even such little thing
as grasshopper.--N, Z. Observer.

Around this lovely valley rise
The purple hills OF Paradise.
O, softly on Won banks of haze
Her rosy face the summer layst
Beealmed along the azure sky
The argosies OF cloudland lie,
Whose stores with many shining rift,
Far off their pearl-white peaks uplift.
Through all the long midsummer day
The meadow sides are sweet with hay.

Just where the field and forest meet
Where grow the pine trees tall and bland,
The ancient oaks austere and grand,
The fringy roots and peoples fret
The ripples of the rivulet.
[ watch the mowers as they go
Through the tall grass white-sleeved row
With even strokes their scythes they swing
In tune their merry whetstones ring.
Behind the nimble youngsters run,
And toss the thick swaths in the sun,
The cattle Craze; while warm and still,
Slopes the broad pasture, basks the hill,
And bright, when summer breezes break,
The green wheat erinkles like lake.
The butterfly and bumble-bee
Come to the pleasant woods with me;
Quickly before me runs the quail,
The chickens skulk behind the rail,
High up the lone wood-pigeon sits,
And the woodpecker pecks and fits.
Sweet woodland music sinks and swells,
The brooklet rings its tinkling bells,
The swarming insects drone and hum,
The partridge beats his throbbing drum,
The squire leaps among the boughs,
And chatters in his leafy house;
The oriole flashes by; and look
Into the mirror of the brook,
Where the vain blue-bird trims his coat,
Two tiny feathers fall and float.
As silently, as tenderly.

Power of the Human Eye.

Some wears ago an officer OF high rank,
a colonel in tine Blues, was visiting his
friend, Col. 49,, of the Guards, who re-
sided in Buckinghamshire. This gen.
tleman had very fine bloodhound. which
he kept fastened in the yard. One morn
ing after the arrival of his visitor, Col.
, was much surprised at not seeing
his friend as usual at the breakfast table,
and he sent servant to his room to
ascertain what had become of him. The
servant found the bedroom door ajar.
and, on knocking, the gentleman cried,
eCome in, and remove this beast out of
my room,n whereupon the servant en-
tered, and was astonished to find the
masters bloodhound in the bedroom, a
very large and fierce dog, who had broken
his chain and escaped from the yard, and,
having scented stranger in the house,
had slipped into the bedroom, as the door
had been left unciosed by servant who
had called the visitor in the morning.
The dog was on his hind legs at the foot
of the bed with his foreieet resting on it,
fixing his eyes intently and ferociously
or the unfortunate gentlemen, apparently
waiting for an opertunity to spring upon
him, from which he was only restrained
by his prisoner keeping his eyes steadily
fixed upon the animal, and the colonel
was detained in this most unenviable
condition for more than half an hour.
The dog must have been very cunning, as
he made his way up stairs unobseryed
by the servants. This story ian authen-
ticated one) reminds one of well-known
accounts OF lions, which have in SINH
