SESSION.
Upon the reassembling of the con-
v@ention at = o'clock, consideration of
the report OF the commmittee on coun-
ty and township organization was re-
Sunled.
w. W. Brooking5 of Minnehaha Of
fered substitute for the whole report,

split being section 4 Of the original re-
port relating to the removal OF county
seats, a three-tifths vote, as provided
for in the report. being Objectionable to
many.
A delegate moved to refer the sub
stitute report to the committee on
printing.
II. j. Campbell Of Yankton stated
that he was advised that a large num-
Der OF delegates would leave the city on
Friday. and that the work should he
hurried, else the work of the conven-
tiun would not he completed.
The substitute of Mr.. Brookings was
adopted. There were few new points
OF news to the general reader in it.
On motion OF G.. G.. Moody the third
section was reconsidered. He said that
under the. section adopted, it was posi-
bic to cut Oft a tier of townships too
small to make a county, and hence
would be left out of any county. He
offered an amendment which provided
that the legislature might add territory
to a county without consent of the
county, provided that provision he
made for the debts of the territory an
nexed. 1t was. adopted.

secured together with brass evelets
and strips. One end of the belt is
connected to the arm and the gun is
operated by hand until the cartridge
is driven into the barrel. Then the
trigger pulled, this cartridge explodes
the breach bolt is unlocked from the
barrel, the empty case is extracted,
moved to one side, loaded cartridge
is brought in front of the barrel, the
arm is cooked, the cartridge pushed
homo, and the trigger pulled, when
the explosion of the second cartridge
operates the same as the first.
Thus the firing may be kept up
automatically without anv action on
the part Of the attendant as long as
there are any cartridges in the belt.
The weapon is mounted upon tripod
stand, and between it and the top Of
the stand there is placed a magazine,
which Is protected from the eneny's
fire by pair of light shields. The
gun can be rotated about the vertical
axis by means of a handle, which
turns tangent screw, or If the three
armed nut at the bottom of the axis be
slackened the barrel can be moved by
hand to spread the fire over a consid-
cradle area. If a definite piece of
ground is to be subject to the fire, such
as a bridge, a pass, or a ford, the gun
can be sighted in succession to each
end of the space, and it's motion be-
yond those limits prevented by adjus
tlble nuts on the screw spindle. The
elevation of the barrel is altered by
turning the hand wheel on the inclin-
ed strut, stretching from the stand to
the rear Of the gun. By slackening
a clip on this strut the screw is thrown
free, and the weapon can be elevated
and depressed by hand.
The gun stands about feet high
and is 4 feet 9 inches from the nuzzle
to the rear of the firing mechanism.
1t can deliver any number of shots
per minute from two or three to 900
shots, the latter being of course, a
kind of trial-trip performance, under
favorable conditions. At all rates it
is perfectly steady and the gunner is
perfectly free to concentrate all his
attention upon the alma, without hav-
ing his vision or his steadiness inter
fsred with by turning handle. No
one can fail to be struck with the
wonderful ingenuity and great
promise Of tkis new weapon. It's
automatic action, its power of regula-
ton, and it's rapidity of Ere most
trycommend it to the military authori-
ties, while its steadiness and the small
demands it makes upola the attention
Of the man in charge, must greatly
enhance it's value in action, where it
IS not the number of shots, but the
number of hits that count.

their isolated hight like heaps of phos-
phorus hung above trees. Around us
hoated icy fragments, grinding against
one another or floating solitary and
majestic down their vatery way. The
air was sharp and cold, and a gloom,
familiar on November days at home
when the sky is overcast and fecks of
snow begin to fall and daylight fades
away, hevered about the scene. Now
a deadly silence reigned, and again a
loud, harsh moan was heard as the
glacier cracked, or a long continued
roar broke the stiffness as mass of
snow and ice, tottering a moment, fell
headlong into the space below. The
scene was grand past all conception.
wild and awful, hushing ali with ad-
miration. No other wonder of nature
equals this glacier of untold age as it
comes silently yet irresistibly down
from its birthplace to the sea, crying
as it moves; the embodiment of
strength, the destroyer of all life. All
the glaciers of Switzerland combined
would not equal this OF Glacier bay.

Marrying Men of Genius.
Boston Herald

my dear, whatever you do. never
marry man of genius" was q vein
of advice IN which poor. nerve wreck
ed Mrs. Thomas Carlyle was much
addicted toindulging with her youno
lady friends; not probably, because
she thought the alarming surplus of
'genius Ghrown on the matrimonial
market was in danger of setting in q
general stampede in that direction
but because the bare possibility of one
case of such misery in a million
seemed to her enough to Justify a.
warning cry, Rightly or wrongly.
woman get the credit of drawing
sweeping, universal conclusions from
1ngle instances, and where the in
stances are of peculiarly exasperat-
ing kind, the thing is hardly to be
wondered at. That at the very time
when she herself was dutifully STAY
INC at home, the house a pandemon,
lum of hammering carpenters and
splashing plasterers, and nothing but
dark closet left her to sleep in. her
husband IN Germany should entertain
her IN his letters with little but a
catalogue Of the cats that had cerenad-
ed htm the previous night, and of the
roosterS whose Growing had walked
hlm up at dawn, and of the dead dogs
he had seen floating on the gresn
waters of the Rhine, all this might.
perhaps, have been enough to Justify
her at moments IN sympathizlng with
the Roman emperor's amiable wish
that the whole tribe of men of genius
had but one neck, and there were a
onvenclent axe ready to hand. And
yet, on the other side, how many of
the young women, who, after reading,
the raeept biography of Nathania7
Hawthorne and his wife will Law the
book down with the sigh: ''Ah, that
heaven Will only send me such a
husband! Never marry a man of
genius! Why; I Will take a vow of
perpetual virginity unless I can find
one somewhere" And the Young
lady is not SO far wrong. Stupid and
commonplace men have too many
advantages already in the world so
well fitted to them to be allowed a
longer monopoly of the claims that
they furnish the only material out of
which ideal husbands can be made.
Ii 3 woman must have a man to
worship why should she never be
lndulged IN one toward whom the act
OF alteration involves a aless-exhausting
strain.

A PRACTICAL JOKE.
Serious Sequel to the Franks of Merry
makers
Providence Journal.

On recent Sunday young mar
ried couple of this city visited the
home of the lady's parents in East
Providence, and remained during the
day. During their absence a few of
their Intimate friends planned a sur
prise for them. The furniture was
displaced, a night dress was hung up
on the clock and everything was d 1ne
to make a scene of disorder. The
jokers eagerly awaited the return of
the unsuspecting couple. The lady
preceded her husband into the house
and lit match The Pickering flame
lit up the scene and displayed to her
startled gaze the disordered condition
of the room. Her eyes quickly fell
upon the white object near the clock.
The startled shrek she uttered brought
her husband bounding into the room.
Ia a moment she was struggling hys-
terically, he vainly endeavored to
bring her to her senses and allay hex
fears. Her heartrending cries brought
the practical jokers trembling into the
room, and they gazed with blanched
faces upon the terrible result Of their
foolish act. It was evident that
something serious had happened, and
DR.. Hibbard was hastily summoned.
He found, upon examination, that
the shock had caused the rupture of a
blood-vessel ia her head, the result
being similar to conclusion OF the
brain. The lady, since then, has lin
gered between life and death, but she
is now deemed to be in fair way
of recovery. The feelings of the per-
petraters of the '.joke" can be better
imagined than described. Suffice it
to say that the act to them has had It's
terrible lesson, and should be warn
ing to all who seek to make fun by
shocking the sensibilitles of other peo-
pie.

seventy-fve large diamonds. Three
other crosses are round the upper part
OF the crown, containing altogether
1856 diamonds. Between the four

rise four arches composed of oak
leaves and acorns, the leaves con tain
ing 728 diamonds. The thirty-two
acorns are each of a single pearl, and
