necessary to send our delegates so
tied by their Instructions that they
will not feel at liberty to go for the
the next best man if they see that
Blaine has no chance"
The melton TO proceed to the cleo
ton of delegates was then put and
carried.
Mr.. Yinson moved that the
four gentlemen already in n0mina-
ton he elected 10y acclamaiion -
carried.
w. X. King thrn moved vote of
thanks to the Chairman and Secreta-
ry. The motion on being seconded,
was put by Mr.. King aud carried
unanimously.
Mr.. Campbell, the Chairman, was
called On for a speech and responded
in few remarks endorsing the senii-
ments ot the convention AS expressed
in favor If imes G. Blaine.
After Mr.. Campbell had concluded
his remarks, there WAS little desul-
tory discussion of the propriety Of
sending delegates without the dis
creti"nary power OF using their own
Judgment after they see that their ia.
voiite candiiate has no chance of
winning. Mr.. Wholesaler was still
convinced of the expediency of posi-
tive and perpetual instructions for
Blaine, but of course submitted to the
will of The mi prity.
Tne conycntion then adj 'urned
sine die.

What is education? Many answers
have been given to this question, nor
do we hope to throw much light u,on
the subject but we deem true educu
ton to be a training Of the whole OF
a man-intcllectuaIly, morally and
physically. 10 train the intellect
alone makes man mental gian,, and
puts in his hands the inslrumen, for
accomplishing great evil. To train
the heart alone makes him Il fanatic,
and to train the body alone makes
him well developed brute. -E,.

Press tho dainty. wsIsn syslids
Der the eyes now blind In death.
Kiss tho lips that fast are stia'nIng.
Neysmors thoso eyes will open,

Win Won from your weight OF woe.
Fold the little hsnds like snowfaksH.
On the pulselesa. marble breast,
strew the couch with purcst blossoms
