each hnnd was appropriated. The
United States keeps a history and

In like manner can every bond OF
Tennessee be identified. The bond

The & convention meant well.
The action is a progress in the right
direction, a vast improvement over
the convention Of 1880. Neither the
verdict Of jury or the platform Of a
con vention will satisfy all parties.
Conventions, at best, are subject to
grave objections. It is not al Gays

even the body itsolf. Their plat
forms are advisory. There is higher
power behind them, to whom all
great questions must be submitted.
Free men cannot be made to think

Let each representative district send
solid man to the Legislature repre-
seat its people, no matter what may
be their particular views. This is
lteat srlf-government. As to The
Governor, the race is between Bate
and Hawkins.
The absurdity of the outer, against

Modern A. B.-Abs.

Is it easier for our little ones to learn
to read than it used to be? It seems so.
The old process of spelling a, Dab !;
e, b,-eb; j, bib; O. bob; IL, b.
ub, has gone out of date, and now, so
soon as they have learned their letters,
or even part of them, they begin to read.
Why not? They can learn words as
symbols of objects and acts and qualities
as easily as they can learn letters to be
symbols of certain sounds, and more
easily. To my little niece, whom l am
teaching to read, the word cat suggests
the animal it stands for as quickly as
does the picture of a cat, and she could
call the word promptly at sight good
while before she could spell it. So of
man and con and bog and girl. AS our
primers are low arranged with the same
word recurring frequently in the same
page, a child can very soon pick out
words that are alike and call them at
sight. The memory is very much as
sisted if the pencil is early called in as
an aid. A bit Of thin paper may be
placed over the page, the pencil placed
in the child's hand, and, guided by the
mature hand, the little one will delight
IN Tracing letters and words and calling
their names. Soon it will learn to trace
them without aid.
When I take my little niece in my
lap, have her under entire control, and
can secure the concentration of her
mind on her book much more easily
than when she stands or sits beside me.
In the latter case her body goes through
constant writings and contortions, no
doubt caused by kthe activity of her
brain. With the first evidence of mental
fatigue on her part, I lay aside the book
and send her to her play. She reads
the same page over day after day till
every word is familiar to her, and till
she has learned the page by heart.
These words form kind of stock in
trade for her, and she is delighted when
she takes the next page to find words on it
already known to her.

ROBBERS CAPTURED.
The POliee Succeed in Finding the Panne1l
thieves and Recovering the Stolen Goods.

The Polise Succeed in Finding the PanneIl
thieves and Recovering the Stolen Goods.
One week ago last SATURDAY. night. the
store of Mr.. Pannell, on Seventh street,
was entered by burglars and a considera
BILE quantity of dry goods carried away. The
police have been diligently at work since
then to ascertain who the thieves were,
but up to yesterday were unsuccessful.
They then succeeded in obtaining clue,
a very slight one, to be sure, but clue,
and upon that they went to work with
renewed vigor, and were rewarded by
capturing two of the men engaged
in the robbery. A man named Bader
keeps boarding house on the corner of
Seventh and Wacouta streets. The inves-
tigation of the police led to the belief that
the parties wanted, or at least some of
them, stopped there, and that it was alto
gether probable that the stolen property was
in the house. Accordingly about noon yester-
day they went there and arrested Bader and
William Ware, and then went to work to
hunt for the goods. Capt. Clark and de-
tective O'Connor dug around in the cellar
and were rewarded by finding some of the
stolen property. They pursued their in
vestigations elsewhere and found more
At last they found the bulk of the goods
stolen from Pannelrs store, in cistern
which holds one hundred barrels of water.
All yesterday afternoon officers De-
Corsey, Larsen, Merriam and
Casey were fishing for the goods. The
goods obtained SO far inventory at S156.30
according to the value put upon them by
Mr.. Pannell. One of the articles stolen
was bolt of black silk which is probably
spoiled or, at least. greatly injured, as it i:
soaking wet. The rest of the stolen prop
erty consist of a great variety of articles
mostly of ladies' underwear. Bader ad
mitted to Capt. Clark all the facts abou
the robbery, and said the goods wer,
thrown into the cistern two or three day
ago in consequence of the fact that the,
were fearful certain parties would expos
them, and they could think of no NOR
secure place in which to put the stolel
property than the cistern. Capt Clar
does not believe he tells the truth about tn
matter,I and thinks that while he (Clark
was searching the house up stairs yestel
day some of the women in the house pu
them in the cistern. There were some good

MILWAUKEE, Sept 1.-THE Republican
convention of the Third District, convened
at Monroe to-day, promises to be dead
lock, like the Democratic one in West Bend.
The vote for organization stood twenty for
the Reyes men and twenty for the Hazelton
men, until the latter, after this evening,
succeeded in getting organized by electing
2. A. orion, chairman, and G. A. Baxter,
secretary. Trouble about credentials then
began, there being two sets of delegates
from Lafayette county. The convention
adjourned until tomorrow pending the
deliberation of the committee on creden-
tials. No other candidates are in the filed
besides Hazelton, the present incumbent,
and E. W. Reyes.
