WISCONSIN DemocIatss
The Wisconsin Democmtic State Conven-
ton for the selection of delegates to the
National Democratic Convention ct Chicago,
met in the State House ut Madison. The
attendance was uncommonly large. nearly
every district being fully represented. The
gathering was notable for containing very
large number Of old timers, many OF whom
had not attended conventions for many
years. 1t was almost foregone conclusion
that Tilden delegates would be chosen;
and although strong effort was made by
Mr.. George, of Milwaukee, to get together
following for his uncle, Roswell p. Flow
er, of New York, the sentiment for the old
ticket was overpowering, and the delegation
Is unit. The convention was called to or
der by Judge l.. r. Larsen, of Eau Claire,
who in bis speech took strong ground in ia
vor Of free trade. His remarks were re-
ceived enthusiastically. Delegates were
chosen as follows:

The resolutions reafirm the principles of
the platform of 1876, and denounce the
present tariff levied upon 1000 articles as
masterpiece of injustice, inequality, and
false pretense, which has impoverished
many industries to subsidize few, degraded
American commerce from first to an in
ferior rank, cut down the values of Ameri-
can manufactures, depleted the returns of
American agriculture, obstructs the process
of production, and wastes the fruits of labor.

THE MIDGET SHEEP.

The very smallest Of all the kiuds OF
sheep, says a contemporary, is the tiny
Breton sheep. l. is too small to be
very profitable to raise, for, OF course,
it cannot have much wool, and, as for
eating, why, a hungry man could al
most eat a whole one at a meal. 1t IS
so small when full grown, that it can
hide behind good bucket. 1t
takes its name from the part of France
where it is most raised. But, II not a
profitable sheep. it is dear little crea-
ture for pet, for it is very loving, and
it is so small it is not such a nuisance
about the house, as was the celebrated
lamb which belonged TO a little gil
named Mary. 1t would need to be
very large little girl---a giant girl, IN
deed-who could take an ordinary sheep
in her lap and cuidle it there; but any
little girl could find room in her lap for
a Breton sheep quite as easily as for
one OF those very ugly little dogs called
by the ugly name cf Pug. One Of this
little creatures peculiarities is its eX-
treme sympathy with the feelings of is
human friends when it las been brought
up as a pet in tue house aud has learned
TO distinguish happiness from unhappi-
ness. II any person whom it likes -
very much pleased about anything and
shows it by laughing, the LITTLE sheep
will frisk about with every sign OF JOY;
but if, on the contrary, this person
sheds tears, the sympathetic friend will
show it's sorrow in an equally unmis.
taxable way. A kind word and Low.
ing caress will also fill it with happi-
ness, while cross word or harsh gest-
ure will cause it evident distress.

sists OF two subterranear dungeons,
one below the other. An old monk with
lighted lamp conducted US down long
night OF stone steps 10 the upper prison.
We found ourselves In cold, dark room,
built up on all sides and overhead with
enormous stones. In ancient times the
only connection between the upper and
lower dungeons was circular hole Just
large enough to admit human body. In
modern times stairway has been cut
around through the rock from the upper 10
the still more horrible lower prison. No
light OF day has ever penetrated that dark,
| deep, damp, dismal dungeon.
In, that gloomy place the accomplices OF
Cataline, the conspirator, was strangled by
order OF Cicero. There Sejanus, another
Roman consrirat0r, weS executed for the
| murder OF the son Of the Emperor Tibe-
rius. There the fiery Jugurtha, an African
monarch, was thrown, and left In the aw-
fui darkness to perish by starvation. As
they stripped him OF his royal robes and
lowered him. naked and struggling,
through the dreadful hole, he sbrieked
out: Heavens How cold is this bath
Of yours!"
But the chief interest OF the Manner
tine hes in the tradition that st. Peter and
st. Paul were confined there just before
their martyrdom. Without believing or
disbelieving the story, we still get some
idea OF Il Roman prison in Paups day. No
wonder that In such cold, cherries dun

About twenty-one years ago a good
hearted fellow married nice young wo-
man Of Penzance, England, who he led a
miserable life on account OF his general
worthlessness for three years. and at the
end of which time he disappeared. No
thing having been heard OF the man for
twelve years, the wife, on receiving an
offer from a well-to-do farmer, married
him. and settled in the same neighhorhood.
Recently the farmer was employed To pro.

wished the work to be hastened.' The
farmer accordingly engaged tramp to

About $500 people are employed there,

OLD BIBLE TEXT.
A Description OF the Recent Discovery By
DIR. Harkayy.

I paid visit to-day to DR.. HarSsvy, OF
the Imperial Library, whose recent dis
covery OF supposed ancient text OF the
Old Testament is exciting much interest
in scientific and even general circles, says
st. Petersburg dispatch to the London
Standard. The learned professor informed
me that the manuscript in question bad
been in his possession for some months,
but that he had refrained from bring
ing them TO public notice on account OF
the recent exposure OF the Shapiro frauds,
and the scepticism with which a new an
nouncement in the same field Of discovery
would necessarily be received. His scru-
ples were overcome, however, by the per-
suasions OF his friend, Mr.. Neubauer, the
assistant librarian at the Bodleian library
at oxford, and he has prepared short
statement for publication pending the pro-
duction OF 4 memoir, upon which he VIII
set to work.
Assuming that the manuscripts are gen.
