Meeting Of the Congressional
Committee at Albert Lea.

The Congressional Committee tc
whom Mr.. Ward very pI"prr.y refer
ell the matter ut issue between h.m,
self and Mr.. Dunncll. met yesterday
1T Albert Lea. We are without aG.
vices from that meeting. We pre-.
sumo, however, that IN r"Spolr," to :,
general public sentiment, the com
mittee will advise Mr.. Ward to insist
upon submitting all the questions in,
YOlVcd in the WaScca Convention,
including the broader question of
whether Il new Convention had not
better be called and the whole qucS-
ton be rr.sumnittcd to the people.
The narrow and selfish proposition of
Mr.. Dunnell, meets with little or no
public favor.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

The Christmas number of St. NtGtozaS con- tains nearly a hundred pages and luxurious feast of pictures. A special cover has been devised for the holiday issue, and poets, es- sayists, story -tellers, artists, composers have been drawn upon for contributions by Mary Mapes Dodge, the editor. Among the writers are Paul H. Hayne, the Southern poet Lizzie W. Champn y who tells a Greek story; Sidney Lanier, the learned poet, who tells of King Arthur and the Round Table; Frank R. Stockton Felix L. Oswald, who describes tropical scenery; Washington Gladden. who makes journey to the moon; and E. s. Brooks, who offers a little opera set to music by A. Reiff and w. F. Sherwin. The illustrations, all of them good, include light sketches, landscapes, fig ures and Leonardo's Madonna with the Lily, most beautifully engraved by F. A. Muller.

 Perhaps no book issued this season will be more eagerly read than 'tEndymion, ,"by Lord Beaconsield The principal parsonage of the story, Endymion Ferrars, is the son of one Privy Councillor and the grandson of anoth- CT. His father, William Pitt Ferrars, mar ried the belle of the season, entered Parli- ment and became an under secretary. He lived expensively, nearly reducing his for tune to ruins, and in order to rescue few fragments retired to the country. There his wife died, and soon after he committed suicide himself, leaving Endymion and his twin sister, Myra, unprovided for. Myra subsequently, became the companion of a rich bankers daughter, married titled secretary of state for foreign affairs, and opened the way for her brother into private secretaryship, and then into Parliament. He became min ister and at last Premier. He married rich and beautiful widow, the Countess of Mont fort, and his sister, having become widow, married King Florestan. Many of the char acters in the novel are supposed to represent real persons. Endymion is said to represent Disraeli himself. Sidney Wilton is said to represent Sydney Herbert, afterward Lord Herbert of Lee Queen Hortense appears in the novel early under the name of Agrippi- ma. and the Emperor Napoleon TIL, her son, as Prince Florestan with his graceful bow that always won heart.'' Lady Palmerston parades with her lord as Lord and Lady Roe hampton, and Prince Bismarck as the Count of Ferrol. Baron Lionel Rothschild appears as Baron NeuchateL Poole, the tailor, as Vigo Cardinal Manning plays the part of Penruddock, prophet ordained in Mayfair, who regarded Lord John Russell with we'll bred horror. sSoapy Sam" Wilberforee, bishop of Oxford, appears under the pseu-

 With Scrt5ner's come the bound volumes of St Ntcholas for 1880. The addition of six teen pages to each number of St. NtcIoIas, which began with the volume just closed, and which is to be permanently kept up, would make bound volume of twelve num- bers too unwieldy to handle. Therefore the yearly numbers of volume vii. are bound in two parts-each con- plete in itself as book, but being only half volume. Volume vii, in two parts, con- tains great deal more matter than any vol can be handled in this divided shape much more readily, and with less injury to the binding than could the bulkier volumes. The two parts, in their beautiful covers of red and gold, with new and charm ing cover linings make two books of thousand pages and as many pictures, crowd ed with stories and poems by the best writers of two countries. With the single exception of Miss Alcott's serial, ''Jack and Jill," each part is complete in itself Part l. contains 'the wonderful Christmas number'' of last year.

Mind What You Say.

Itis always we'll to avoid saying everything that is improper, but is especially so before children And here parents, as well as oth- ers are often at fault. Children have as many grown persons, and they are generally more attentive to what IS said before them What they hear they are very apt to repeat, and as they have not discretion and knowledge of the world enough to disguise anything, it is generally found that children and fools speak the truth"
 See the little boys eyes glisten while you are speaking in language you would not wish to have repeated. He does not fully under stand what you mean, but he will remember every word; and it will be strange if he does not cause you to blush by it's repetition.
 A gentleman was in the habit of calling at 8 neighbours house and the lady had always expressed great pleasure to him from his call One day just after she had expressed to him as usual her happiness from his visit, her little boy entered the room The gentleman took him on his knee and asked: Are you not glad to see me, George?"
 s'No, sir, replied the boy.
 s,Why?' asked the surprised visitor
 Because mother don't want you to come, 7" said George.
 Indeed! How do you know that George?"
 Here the mother was crimson, and looked iapeers at the little son. But he saw nothing and therefore replied, Because she said yes terday she wished that old bore would not call here again.
 That was enough. The gentleman's hat was soon in requisition, and he left with the impression that ''great is the truth and 1t will prevail"
 Another child looked sharply into the face of visitor, and being asked what she meant by it, replied
 T wanted to see whether you had a drop in your eye heard mother say you had, frequently"
 A boy once asked one of his fathers guests who lived next door to him, and when he heard his name, he asked if he was not fool.
 sfNo, my little friend" replied the guest, he is not fool, but very sensible man. But why did you ask that question ?''
 Because" replied the boy, ''mother said the other day that you were next door to fool, and wanted to know who lived next door to you"
