tons Of the district are not interested,
but if Hennepin polls more republic

is entitled to more representation in q
republican convention. The vote for
president in 1876 is a fair test of the
party strength, great deal more SO
than the vote for governor last fall, as
for instance: Isanti gave $50 votes,
Anoka 225, Sherburne 80 and Mile
Laos q more votes for Hayes than for
.Pillsbury; and in these four counties,
to our own personal knowlede, it was
local and side issues that caused Pills
bury to run behind Hayes vote. We
have heard several of Mr.. Washbnrn's
warmest friends in this village express
themselves as Indifferent, as to whether
the convention meets in July or Sep

The republican congressional con-
vention for this, the third district,
will convene at the Academy of Music
Minneapolis, Wednesday July 10th,
1878, at IL o'clock NJ. The basis of
representation is one delegate for each
organized county,, and one for each
$50 votes or major fraction thereof,
according to the vote cast for Hayes
in 1876. Some think the time for
holding the convention is too early and
that DR.. Stewart has not got fair

objection though, for Mr., Stewart has

Chronicles, Chapter I.
BY BARNACLE.

ES-@ y.g5s 81.
The following is one of series of
Chronicles written for the Sank RAPIDS
Sentinel severl years ago, but now appears
in print for the first time.-ED 1.zs
Now it came to pass in the reign of
Buzfuz the Missipitc, that there lived
in his dominions certain men possessed
of much riches; and they had cows, and
bullocks. and rams, and he-goats. and
asses a goodly number. And they
were of the tribe of Mainites. And
certain Of the tribe Of the Saukites
were much wroth with them, inso-
much that they said among themselves,
"these Mainites mock us, wherefore
shall we be not led against them.
And Benedict reigned over the
saukites, and was goodly ruler, a
wise man, and much beloved by all the
country ound a bout, and he hearken-
ed unto his people. And when he had
listened to them, he spake unto them
after this manner: 80, my brethren,
we will so to battle in our own person
against these Mainites; we will come
upon them where they shall be found,
and we will light upon them, as the
swine falleth upon potato, and of all
that are with them there shall not be
left so much as one.'
And Ben sat upon his ass and led
his army to battle.
Now, after these things it came to
pass, that the band of Benedict, the
Saukite, had achieved a great victory
over certain Of the Nantes and Ger
tain other tribes of the children Of
Israel, insomnch that he sent his CHIEF
centurion unto the chief scribe of the
nation, And when the centurion ha d
come unto the dwelling place Of the
chief scribe, even unto the City of the
Saints, he craved speech Of him and
spake after this manner: .sBehold, o
Scribe. My master, the mighty Ben,
son Of old Ben and chief of the Sank
ties, sends greeting unto you. BY his
valiant arm are the Mainites vanquish-
ed; he has smote them hip and thigh
with very great slaughter; his army
now repose in their tents, weary with
warfare, waiting for bread to restore
their famished bodies; and prays that
out Of thy abundance thou mayest send
him a moiety of thy shekels that he
may have the wherewithal to feast his
valiant men Of war" And the Scribe
hearkened unto the voice of the CEN
turion, and spake unto him after this
manner: Hss
sin thy master am much pleased,
and insomuch as he has done that
which seemeth good in my sight; go
therefore. take Of my herd ten bull
locks, and ten rams that thy masters
men may be no longer an hungered.
and give. them to drink of my wine,
and to thy master give zone old Hellion
of Shanghai for verify it was a great
victory
And the army of Benedict feasted;
and there was no more war; and he
sat in the councils of the nation and
was one of the lawygivers thereof.
