Making change in the election
laws so as to bring many of them
now held on different days upon the
saline day, besides the obviating the
continual call OF the candidate and
the constant excitement resulting

The delegates to a constitutional
convention are free from the many
influences that beset the members OF
the Legislature, and which bias legis-
lation. They are impressed with the
dignity and permanent character OF
their work, have no reelection in
view, no lobbyists to furnish cham
payne and cigars and no pet bills to
pass.

Many who take no interest in The
call of a convention 10 change the

fact that they fear we would only get
such delegates to the convention as

best and most conservative men are
ready and willing TO offer for dele
gates TO constitutional convention.

Evolution of the Peach.


The great ancestor of the peach was
purely tropical plant that could not
endure the least touch of the frost. The
almond, from which, by man aiding
nature, the peach has been produced, is
so fragile that it can scarcely be made TO
grow even in the warmest portions of the
United States yet after many ages of
coaxing and gradual acclimation, it was
trausplanted from the hot suns and warm
fields of Arabia to the frost touched
highlands of Persia. But instead of the
rich kernel being the tempting food
which the tree offered to the cultivator,
as was the case with the parent almond
in Arabia, it was the husk which man
ate in Persia; but not the hard green,
indigestible woody rind of the almond,
but the rich, luscious peach.

A Wonderful New Clock.

In the little town of Woodbury., Pa,
resides young man of mechanical!
genius who is working at wonderful
clock, which when completed will prob.
ably eclipse anything yet produced in
the clock line, not even excepting the
celebrated Strasburg clock. He has
been working at this clock over FIVE years
and expects to finish it next Spring. 1t
will be twelve feet high by FIVE feet wide
and three and q halt feet deep, and is
built entirely of walnut wood. 1t is
artistically designed and displays grace.
full proportions, while the mouldings
ornamenting it are delicately carved.
On the lower front of the case is circle
of eleven dials, with large dial in the
centre giving the time at Washington,
D. c., in hours, minutes and seconds, the
month of the year, the date of the
month, the day of the week, the four
seasons of the year and the changes of
the moon. The eleven remaining dials
give the difference of time in New York,
Chicago, San Francisco, London, Pekin,
Constantinople, Melbourne, Vienna, st.
Petersburg and Cairo. One of the most
curious features of the clock is contriv-
ance by which at certain hour of the
day figure representing William II.
Vanderbilt, the railroad king, arises from
his chair, holding charter in his right
hand, and all the other great railroad
magnates of tho country slowly enter q

stwhen MY Children We're About Me-"
SANS SoUCI,

1t is with tender emotions that many q
parent recalls such time. In the loneli-
ness of his old age his thoughts often re.
vert to the years that are past and gone.
Bright scenes rise to his view. Then his
family was an unbroken aud an undi.
ninished household. The wife of his
youth was then with him, and all his
children, a young, happy group. To
gether, day by day, gathered around the
common board, day by day they bowed
ct the same family altar, and day by day
they mingled in pleasant intercourse,
dwelling together in unity. Little then
did they realize how soon those "happy,
Golden days" would speed their fight,
n no more to return. But 80 has it been.
Death has invaded the loved circles and
claimed one and another of their number.
Others, ono after another, as they have
grown up, have gone forth from under
the parental roof into the wide world,
and the home of their childhood shall no
more be their abiding home. Some OF
them are far away.
Occasionally one and anolhe. of them
revisits the old homestead, but it is for
only brief tsrry. Soon again farewell
words are spoken, and those who are
bound to each other by the dearest earth.
" ties part. The parents, now old and
gray. headed, follow the departing ones
With their kindest bcaedictions and
prayers, realizing from time to time more ;
and more sensibly the uncertainties of
earth and the doubtfulness of renewed
meetings. With fearful eyes at the re,
membrance of months that arc past"
and of the days when their children
were about them," they hopefully an.
ticipate the more blessed time, when all,
parents and children, gone the way
whence they shall not return, shall meet
and greet each other in the heavenly
home, where partings shall be forever
unknown, and where, in the presence of
the great and good Father and Of their
elder Brother, they sba!! forever abide.

Lincoln's Unsent Message.

ST. LOUIS, October 3l.-The Globe.
Democrat prints editorially this morning
the following interesting facts in con.
nection with President Lincoln and the
late war:
"a number of personal friends were
discussing some incidents of the late war.
One of them spoke of Mr.. Lincoln's
aversion to bloodshed, and cited as an
illustration that he had it from member
of the Cabinet of the war period that
Mr.. Lincoln, on his return from the
Hampton Roads conference in February,
1865, proposed to his Cabinet to submit
a message to Congress giving to the
Southern States an amount equal to the
probable cost of the war from that time
to its close, or condition of their laying
down their arms and returning to their
loyalty to the Union. The editor of the
Globe:Dsmocrat, hearing of the conver-
sation, sent memorandum to the Hon.
John Usher, who was at the time referred
to Mr.. Lincoln's Secretary of the lnte'
rior, and who is now resident of Law
renee, Kansas, requesting him to state
his recollections as to its correctness.
From Mr.. Usher's reply, which was re-
ceived yesterday, we make the following
extract:
"Soon after his (Lincoln's return from
James River the Cabinet was convened,
and he read to it for their approval q
message which he had prepared to be
submitted to Congress, in which he re.
commended Congress to appropriate
$500, 100000 to be apportioned among
the several States, in proportion to the
slave population, to be distributed to the
holders of slaves in those States upon the
condition that they would consent to the
abolition of slavery and the disbandiug
of the insurgent army, and would ac.
knowledge and submit to the laws of the
United States. The members of the
Cabinet were all opposed to it. He
seemed somewhat surprised at that and
asked, How long will the war lastT
No one answered, but he soon said, "A
hundred days. Well, we are spending
now in carrying on the war three million
dollars day, which will amount to all
this money, besides all the lives With
a deep sigh, he added, But you are all
opposed to me, and l will not send the
message

WHITES
LIVER
AND
HEADACHE
r Z l. L S.
An Effective and Reliable
Remedy for all Liver
Complaints |!

ALI people in all countries are subject
more or less to Liver Complaints. Over
eating, rich food, lack of exercise, over
work, and in fact, any violation of the
laws of health causes the Liver to be-
come torpid, and when it does, then
follows an almost innumerable list of
diseases torturing in their nature and
dangerous in the end if not promptly
attended to. The most common are:
Costiveness, BilIiousness, Dir
tiog DysneDsfa. Nervous
ness. Pains i'm the Side,
Back and Limbs,
Foul Stomach,
LOYs of Appetite, Impure
Blood, Gfddiness, Heart
burn, and, worst OF
all, Nervous and
Sick Headache.
AL the complaints named above arise
from Torpid Liver, and to be cured of
them the Liver must be aroused and
caused to dosits work, otherwise the bile
and poisons it should take from. the food
of the body and supply to the bowels as
their natural purgative, will poison the
blood and aggregate the disease.
Stimulate the Liver to healthy, vlgor.
GUS action, and it will secrete all the
impurities of the blood. The blood,
thus deprived Of all waste matter and
poisons, pure, rich and life.giving, will
course through the veins, driving disease
from the system and restoring health and
strength. While WILHITE'S LIVER
AND HEADACHE PILLS act direct.
ly upon the Liver and Bowels, aud make
pure, rich blood, they do not in their
action debilitate thes system and leave
one in a worse condition than before
taking them, but they contain powerful
tonic for the Stomach, and if taken one
at time occasionally, after having taken
a full dose from two to three), they will
build up the system. They are indeed q
splendid Stomach; Pill; and, for this rea.
SON, have proven to be an indispensable
Remedy for the painful and distressing
maladies, HEADACHE and SICK
HEADACHE, which occur SO frequently
and extensively. These dreadful evils in
their various forms are the direct result
of disordered Stomach, caused by in.
digestion or an inactive Liver, and can
be relieved and permanently cured by
the use of WILHITE'S LIVER AND
HEADACHE PILLS.
A large proportion of the American
people are subject constantly to these
dreadful diseases and drag out miser-
able existence, trying in vain to get re-
lief from outward applications and seda-
tives, while the source of the trouble is
overlooked. WILHITE'S LIVER
AND HEADACHE PILLS strike at
the root of these diseases, in acting upon
the Liver, thereby removing the cause
and restoring health. Thay are purely
vegetable, contain no deleterious Drugs,
and are reliable remedy in all cases of
Liver diseases and their various compli-
cations.

Second Letter.

PEE DEE SWAMP, Sep. 2, 1880.
William Fleetwood, Esq.-Honored
Father: What sad events have trans
pired since wrote to you from Posts
Ferry. The defeat of the army of Gen.
Gates seems to have cast gloom over
eyery one, and changes the aspect Of
affairs. All are Responding except our
noble leader, whose little body carries in
it heart that is not to be cowed by any
thing short of death. All of US look to
him whom we are proud to call General,
but whom the British call "Fox."
There is no despair in him and the few
who vet remain firm and determined,
come veal or woe, to strike for liberty
while life remains. We have been con.
stantly in The saddle, and are giving our
ipsolent foes, the British and Tories, as
much as they can do to keep up with the
Cox" Yet it seems that most of the
people believe our efforts are in vain and
that the cause of the Colonies is hope
less. I thank the god of Washington
that there are men in these swamps
whose hearts are braver and truer than
to be moved by such craven thoughts. l
have witnessed what alone makes me
gloomy, the craven spirit manifested by
some of our soldiers in the regular line
since Gates's defeat, and even some
among the partizans. Many have left
us, but while Mouzon, McCottry, James
Horny, Vanderhorst, Thornley,, Baxter,
Posteli, White, Erwin, and by no means
last or least my brave aud noble Capt.
Capprs, stand to their men and their
duty with Gen. Marion, we will be glad
to keep company with the owls and the
foxes, and strike for all that is worth
living for in this world.
This letter leaves me in the best of
health. Dear mother will be pleased to
learn that l am growing stout and as
active as cat. The life Of fox is not
so hard after all, if you only know how
to be fox. am grateful for escape
from bodily injury, though my poor
horses got bullet every time get into
a fray with tho British. I am now riding
the fourth since we left Posts Ferry. |
am also proud to be able to say that |
am not, and never have been, leggard.

Mr.. John Garrison brought the packet
and letters. The shirts and yarn socks
he left at Posts Ferry with q true OLD
lady, who kindly kept them safe until |
received them week ago. Embrace my
dear mother for me, and the children
one and all. 1 appreciate highly the
message of Miss Agncss. She may be
sure will never see her except as true
soldier worthy of her respect. 1t pains
me to know your health is not good,
which fear is from your great anxiety
about the country. 1t will all come
right in the end. If our people are true
to themselves and their cause they will
have liberty and independence.
