Art Treasures of America.

The Philadelphia publishers, Gebbie & Barrie, announce the approaching issue, in parts, of an important work, 'sThe Art Treas ures of America" selected and described from public and private collections by Edward Strahan. Each part will contain two photo gravures, full page wood cut and fac-similes in the text of artists sketches and studies for the works described. The size and form will be similar to the Chefs-d'oeuvre of the Paris exhibition, of which the same publishers have brought out an American adaptation. Many of the finest examples of modern art are in this country, and an adequate conception of their number and importance can only be had when they are brought before us in form such as that proposed. The early numbers will illustrate and describe the collections of Mrs. A. T. Stewart of New York, MT. Walters of Baltimore, Mir. Belmont, MT. Wolfe and Miss Wolfe of New York, MT. Gibson of Phil adelphia, and of the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington. Taylor Brothers, in the Hoad- ley building, are the agents for the work in this vicinity

 Advice to young man-OuItivate self control until it becomes natural to you. Self repression isn't self control One time I knew one of these men who are accustomed to self repression. He was 8 quiet, soft spoken man, with the most ungovernable temper that ever tore 8 human passion into rags. But he rarely showed it. One day in the autumn he was trying to make joint of ix-inch stovepipe fit into the end of 8 five and one-half inch length. And during the struggle he smote his thumb, about mid way between the nail and the joint, with round backed hammer. He arose with sad, the carpet, changed the lengths of pipe, fitted them and put the plpe up, and never said word. But he was pale, and there was a about o'clock in the afternoon, that man walked out of town, up the B. and M. grade and stood in the woods and loaned at the mouth and howled and rayed about stovepipes and people who mako them until he frightened a thirty-two ton engine of the track. Self repression isn't self-control, my son.-Bur- Iinpton HaWkeye.

THE sENATORTAL DISTRICTS,

SHSNAIOkEhAEL Rev. Dr. Bacon appeared on Tuesday after noon before the committee of the Legislature on Constitutional amendments, and presented some very strong reasons in support of the New Haven petition, sent up last month, for reform in our method of Senatorial repre- sentation. The amendment, which he -advo- oated, reads as follows: .z3 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT, AS TO THE ELEc-
 TON OF SENATORS.
 Sec l. On the Tuesday after the first Mon- day of November, 1882, and biennially there after, in lieu of the election of Senators from ten Senatorial districts, ten Senators shall be elected from the State at large, by general election, to hold office for two years from and after the Wednesday following the first Mon day of the next succeeding January; but no elector shall vote at such election for more than six Senators, and 6 plurality of votes shall be sufficient to elect in all cases.
 Sec. 2 On the Tuesday after the first Mon day of November, 1888, and biennially thereaf- ter, in lieu of the election of Senators from eleven Senatorial districts, eleven Senators shall be elected from the State at large, by 8 general election, to hold office for two years from and after the Wednesday following the first Monday of the next succeeding January but no elector shall vote, at such election, for more than seven Senators, and plurality of votes shall be sufficient to elect in all cases.
 Sec. 3. All vacancies in the Senate hereaf- ter occurring shall be filled at the next gener- al election by an election for the unexpired term of the Senator whose seat has become vacant and all the electors in the State may vote for person to fill such vacancy.
 It will be seen that the operation of this amendment, if adopted would be to replace the Senators elected by districts, as their terms expire. successively, by Senators elected on a general ticket from the State at large, in such 8 way that the political minority would se- cure at least eight out of twentyone. Each party would, of course, nominate as many as could be voted for on any one ticket, and ''the Independent Voter" would be always on hand to scratch any names that were partic ularly objectionable on either side. The best ticket, therefore, even if put up by the minority, would have chance of being elect ed, particularly in ''of years" when no na- tional questions were at issue.
 Experience seems to have shown that any readjustment of the present district system is impracticable. The power is in the hands of the small towns and they mean to keep it, right or wrong, so long as districts are main tained. But with what show of fairness can they object to abolishing the districts alto gether, and giving every part of the State, hundred years before 1S29-an equal voice in selecting what is meant to be the popular branch of the Legislature

mittee, by Mir. Lincoln, Of the Boston com mittee, and by Standing Bear and Bright Eyes, all of whom have been in conference on the subject. The bill provides that each head of family shall have 160 acres, each male not over IS years of age not the head of family 80 acres, and each child under IS years 40 acres of land. Thsee lands are to be secured to them by title as good as that of white homestead settlers, and to be defended by the law department of the Government if assailed.
 Indian titles to reservations are not to be dis turbed or surrendered, but the Government may at any time negotiate with the Indians for the sale of all or any part of their reserva- tions not comprised in these homestead tracts,
 but none shall be sold unless the consent of three -fourths of the male Indians of the tribe is obtained. There is in the bill provision that nothing contained in it shall invalidate existing treaties or impair the rights and privileges of the Indians under existing trea
 ties or contracts with tribes orwith individuals.

A Story of Henry Clay.


 When Henry Clay ran, for the first time, for Congress, he was billed to address an assembly in the open air. A vast crowd had convened to hear the young orator, and conspicuous above all rose the tall form of Jim Burnim, rough, with an unenviable reputation and great personal enemy of Clay's, owing to re- peated defeats sustained by him from Clay in his political aspirations. When Clay had commenced his address Burnim placed him self directly opposite him in the crowd and annoyed the speaker continually by interrup- tions and personal remarks, but chiefly by hissing every good point Clay produced.
 No matter how smooth and lucid his stream of oratory might be, or how forcible his argu- ment, Burnim was ready at the tinls with nls insulting hiss. This continued until Clay could stand it no longer, and when, after par ticularly pungent thrust at the morality of the Anti Federalists, he was greeted with the in dou,itable silent howl of Burnim's, he turned savagely to him and with flashing eyes deliv- cred this cutting speech:
 ssMr Burnim, when your last hour has come and your evil sikful soul has sought the dark shades of heIl when standing there be- fore it's sulphurous gates, your spirit. charred with sin, awaits admittance, Satan, glowing in his crimson majesty, shall ask his vassals gathered around him who it is that stands outside his portals, and when he's told that you are there, hell rise, and, with look of dark disgust, cry to his waiting menial, Go, take the slave, and burn him till he hiss ?"

It is suggested that Russia could improve her financial condition and her credit by using some of the gold and silver that is now ly- ing idle on and in the churches. The fash ion of gliding church towers is universal in Russia, and it has been calculated that enough gold is thus lying idle to pay off the national debt. The Isaac Cathedral, in St. Petersburg, has a plating of gold three-quar- ters of an inch thick over the whole of a dome as large as that of St. Paul's, in Lon don. The Church of Our Lady of Kazan has massive altar furniture of solid silver. Dur ing the great fire of Moscow, in 1872, the molten gold and Silver were seen flowing like water from the burning churches, and the new addition to them which is about to be consecrated represents an outlay of fully $15, 900, 900.

What safety can there be for the Czar when the Nihilists, in spite of all his guards or per- haps with the help of some of them, can blow up his own dining room? And how much longer can he escape the attacks of those charged with his assassination He is doubtless asking himself these questions in great trouble of mind.
 The last words of one who is about to Ieave behind all that is earthly and go through the door of death into the dread unknown have a peculiar interest. This interest is heightened when the dying one is distin- guished from the common herd. Mir. Reb- holz of Reading, Pa, died last week at the advanced age of 1C1 years. His had been no ordinary life, and as he drew near it's long, delayed end those around his bedside watched intently for some indication of what was passing in his mind. They were not disap- pointed. Just before the spirit of MT. Reb- holz took it's flight from the worn temple it had inhabited for more than century the lips of the dying man moved and ia last word" was spoken.
