The Virginia Chronicle invited lawyers
and others who felt disposed, to discuss
the proposition to call a constitutional
convention. to express their views on the
question through its columns. c. 5. Va
riap. who was elected to the Legislature
from Washoe County at the recent cleo
lion. responds to the invitation. and
shows conclusively that there is no ne
cessity for mourning the expense OF a
constitutional convention, as the evils III
the existing constitution which it Is pro-
posed to correct can be eradicated by
amendments to be submitted to the peo-
pie IN the usual manner Mr.. Narian
says:
There seems to be an opinion preva-
lent that an amendment adopted by the
present Legislature could only oe suo-
mltted to tire people at the second gen.
eraI election thereafter. THIS Is a ms
take. An amendment agreed to at TINS
session, and also agreed to by the next
Legislature, may be submitted to the
Deople in such manner snd at such times
Is the Legislature may prescribe, Con
stitutioa. NNI.) THAT'S, at once, or as
soon as practicable under the registration
and election laws "A convention, he
adds. "canuot be called any sooner, and
when its Iahors are completed the doubt
and uncertainty concerning their approval
by the people still remain
In expressing these views Mr.. Narian
does not mean to define his course IN the
Legislature on the question under dis
cussion. and as every member elected at
the last election is, in some degree,
pledged in favor of a convention, each
must determine his own action and an

I2rasol Ants.

Of the parasol ants at Trinidad, writer in the London fjeIi says: In the afternoon. after arriving at the island in search of the caShew nuts and fruit found the path leading through the thick forest in many places actually covered with the cashews which had fallen from the trees on either side. It is delicious fruit, sometimes of q red and sometimes of yellow color, with theki,lney shap- ed seed on the outside instead of the in- side, like other fruits. This latter is roasted, and is esteemed delicacy by many people, but if not carefully pre- pared is apt to cause blisters on the lips We had no difficulty in filling our bas- kets with as many caShews as we re- quired. and were about returning to the boat when one of Mir.

They were crossing from one side of the wood to the other, and were travelling in a col umn of more than a foot and half in width, and as each insect carried in it's mouth piece of leaf, which entirely covered the body, they presented a sim gular appearance, like Lilliputian grove in motion, and although we watched them for sometime, still they came. their number seeming to be inex- haustible. Nothing can turn them from their course, and although they may be destroyed by thousands. enough will swarm upon the intruder to made him repent interfering with them.

In the Wrong Box,l

A stranger elbowed his way yesterday into the Tribune building. He was a Celt, and he hadn't been long separated from the ''mither country" He walk ed up to the fourth story, and not sec ing what he wanted, concluded to ask for it. While he was preparing his con- undrum the elevator shot up from the first story. Taking time by the fore lock and the elevator door by the han dle, he struck an attitude, raised his fore-tinger on high and remarked to the elevator boy:
 ''Shtopr'
 ''Are you going up?" asked the boy, stopping the elevator in its dizzy as cent.
 "And are yer going the way up?" re- piled the Celt
 ''Yes," answered the boy, and the stranger got in.
 ''Do you know anybody up there?" inquired the boy, wondering what his passenger could want in the editorial rooms.
 No, indade,' was the reply.
 Having reached the top story and seeing no indications that the passen- ger intended to get out, the boy closed the door and started the elevator on its downward course At this unexpected change of direction on the part of the elevator the Irishman seemed somewhat amazed. Giving his cotton umbrella a nervous twitch he said:
 '.Down stairs,'' replied the boy; ''where do you want to get out?''
 ''Och, l want to get out at One-hun- dred-and-ninth sthrate and Second ave- nue"
 With one of those knowing smiles that mean volumes the elevator boy di- rected the passenger to the elevated railroad. As the lrishman turned on his heel to go he remarked in an un- dertone, ''Och, bedad, the policeman told me this was the elevator '-NeW York Tribune.

 Through years when thou hast sadly erred Because l knew thy better part,
 And knew the current that still stirred Within thy veins WAS blue. and true,
 And stcadfast to the cause thou deemed The best. Then who says we shall rue
 That thou vert faithful, when faith seemed Another name for suicide?
 Not weakly shrinking from the field, But brayely meeting death with pride,
 Because though couldst not learn to yield. 1 know not why turned to thee,
 For l was not thy kin nor kind, Unless it was through sympathy
 That made to me thy faults seem blind A leaning to the weaker side;
 Thy hot impulse still kept in view, A pride and pity, close allied,
 That saw thee false, but knew thee true. Tho past is past, give my hand
 To thee, sweet land of blossom rain; WOO thee, sue thee, from this strand,
 And clasp thee to my heart again.

The chronicler of current events is seldom called upon to record the sui cidal death of person who has passed the three score years and ten vouch- safed to mankind. The case of Mrs. Margaret Matheson, of Omaha, wo- man seventy-one years of age, is an ex- ceptional one. A husbands death two years ago is thought to have been the cause of the sad affair.
 California has virtually abolished capital punishment without intending to do so. A law was passed few years ago which enables jurors, in returning verdicts of murder in the first degree. to stipulate, if they wish, that the pen. atty shall be Imprisonment for life. The juries that find verdicts of ''euiltv'' ill murder trials invariably recommend Imprisonment for life as the punish ment. a.

An Autograph Album.


 It was our happy privilege. the other day. to be in possession for a brief peri cd, of the autograph album of young lady acquaintance.
 At her earnest solicitation we hae agreed to indite noble sentiment. o4 something, upon q beautifully tinted. gilt edged page of the handsome moroc, co bound volume. already nearly filleG with souvenirs of love and friendship. Naturally enough we glanced at its contents with view to gathering in spiration for our own effort and furthei' to acquire knowledge as to about wha3 would be the correct thing to say. The first selection that met our gaze struck Us as being most excellent, i: read.
 When this you sec,
 Remember me-
 (Signed,) John Brown. We could not help being a little envi. ous that John Brown had been before- hand with us in thus tersely and forci- ply, yet with all so easily and happily discharging friendships obligation. The contents of the next page con, vinced that the writer was T plagiarist; he said:
 When this you strike,
 Remember Mike"
 Then came an inspiration in feminine chirography,
 ''This page I choose,
 Remember Suse."
 Following this was the same idea, but differing somewhat in phraseology:
 'Remember me is all I ask.
 And if remembrance be task. I'll try and make it all right with you," or words to that effect. There was good deal of ''one little spot, forget me not" in the book, but the preference being decidedly in favor of the 'sWhen this you see. remember me" idea, we determined to follow the popular plan and wrote,
 By all that's holy,
 Remember Brgnoli."

An Organist Who Knows His Business

There is church in Michigan Which has been struck by lightning a dozen times, and now whenever the preacher shows signs of getting long-winded and passing from his ''seventhlyn to his .'eighthly," the organist slyly initiates the sound of approaching thunder on the pedals. The way that preacher dives into the ''conclusion' and rushes through it and starts the doxology is a caution. The congregation would not part with that organist for million dollars.

A NOVEL PROCEEDING

Do Fjectment Proceedings Eject. and II
So, How?
The Steele Bond suit for possession of the
property, corner of Fourth and Washington
streets, in the district court for year or more
past, finally decided some two weeks ago in
favor of Steele, was given new turn yester-
day, by the commencement of proceedings by
Steele. by mandamus, to compel r. w. Bell,
clerk of the court, to issue execution in favor
of Steele for possession of the property.
+ Under our statute in ejectment suits either
party Is entitled to second trial by simply
demanding it and paying costs up to the end
of the first trial. This anomalous practice is
peculiar to ejectment suits; in all other actions
the defeated must first convince the court that
some error was committed in the first trial
before a second will be granted. Steele
brought ejectment against Bond, and after
trial decision was rendered in Steele's favor.
Bond then paid costs to date and demanded a
second trial under the above statute. The
point then came up, whether the first judg-
ment was stayed during the second trial or not;
that is to say, whether the plaintiff can go on
and eject Bond under the judgment he has got,
or whether Bond shall remain In possession un-
til the second trial is decided against him. The
opinion of the bar is divided on this question,
and, to test it, on the clerks refusing to issue
execution at the present state of the case,
Steeie's attorneys have brought mandamus to
compel him to do SO. On account of
the novelty and importance of the question
the clerk demanded full bench, which will
hear argument on the point as sooa as
possible.

Death OF Ex-Gov. Dennisop.

Ex.Gov. Dennison, of Ohio, died yesterday
after protracted illness of nearly year.
Though not a man OF overshadowing ability
Gov. Dennison was one Of the prominent men
in Ohio politics, and his death
removes a historic character. He was
born on Nov. 2sd, 1915, and graduated from
the Miami University in 1885. He was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1910, and practiced his
profession at Columbus until 1S4S, and served
as mamber of the Ohio legislature from
1S4S to 1850. He was largely identified with
the banking and railroad interests Of Colum-
bus, and served as President of the Exchange
Bank, and also of the Columbus & Xenia Rail.
road company. In 1856, with Henry Wilson,
and others, he inaugurated at Pittsburgh the
Republican party. He was delegate to the
Republican convention at Philadelphia. He
served in the turbulent years Of 1850 go as gov
ernor of the State. When Mr. Lincoln and
his family passed through Columbus, Ohio,
en- route to the Inauguration at Washington,
q reception to the public was given at Gov.
Dennison's residence, at which Garfield, then
State Senator, was master of ceremonies.
When the first call for 75,800 men was
made, one of the early acts of Gov. Dennison
was to tender Gen. Garfield a colonel's COM
mission. There seems to have been an era of
continuous good feeling between them, for
though ex Gov. Dennison was delegate to
the Chicago convention for John Sherman he

evidently had a warm sidel for Garfield.
When Garfield endeavored to stem the tide
that was setting towards him, Dennison
was by his side to urge him to allow
matters to take their course. When Garfield
was nominated Dennison fitted from Garfield
to Harrison, of Indiana, and the latter moved
an adjournment for two hours prior to the
nomination for Vice President. This prevailed
and resulted in Arthur's selection. Dennison
was the first man to second Arthur's nomina-
tion, and he was so recognized as friend Of
Garfeld's that it carried Arthur through tri-
umphantly.
In addition to the positions already, noted
he presided at the Baltimore convention in
1854 and was postmaster-general from Octo-
Der 1864 to July 1866. After the Chicago con-
vention in 1880, his health seems to have pre-
cluded his active participation in public af.
fairs. In fact his appearance in that conven-
tion was almost ghastly. 10

An Important Matter.

The harvester works of st. Paul, as the
matter now looks, have struck something
very valuable, deep down in the bowels of
the earth. They have been boring for some
time for an arte sian well, the drill has gone
down seven hundred feet and has struck q
very hard substance and now makes but very
little progress. Specimens of this new SUBJ
stance have been brought up to the surface
and are being examined and thoroughly test
ed. When first brought up it had the ap-
pesrance Of blue clay, and is very heavy.
When washed out it looks like iron ore of
very pure quality. The scientific men are
giving it thorough test and it will soon be
known whether or not there is anything val
liable in this new find or not.
