Public attention Is directed to
the constitutional convention called
at Sioux Falls for next September.
1t is time for the people to enter
anea g consideration OF this move
ment IN behalf of statehood for
south Dakota. The Sioux Falls
Leader presents some valuable facts
and figures, in behalf Of division,
which we reproduce,
"The Leader is aware that there
are those, and a very respectable
number, too, who are opposed to
division. Their opposition comes
from a fear of greater expense in
governing a small stats per capita
than a large one. In this view the
Leader thinks they are laboring
under an error for its statistics 90 to
prove that per capita it costs more
to support a large than a small
state. The following rates of state
taxes fgr 1880 are the best evidences
Of the cost Of governing small and
large states. In Massachusetts, for
1880, the state tax was 7-20 or a
q trlfe over one-third Of a mill;
Rhode Island | 1-5 mills; Connect
cut ] IL mills; Iowa ? mills; while
in New York it is 6 1-3 mills; CAL
ifornia 8 la mills; Oregon Z mills;
shile the the great state Of Texas
with all the proceeds of its govern
ment lands going into the state
treasdry-is five mills, aud the lit
tie state Of Tennessee / mill. This
you'd seem tie prove to the satisfac-
ton Of every one that the govern
ment of small states was much less
than large ones, consequently the
opposition to division on that
ground should fail, Another OBJ
i%ection to too large states is that
their legislatures arc proverbially
more corrupt than small ones
Whoever heard Of bribery or corrup-
tioR in Rhode Island, Delaware,
Massachusetts, or Connecticut, while
in the great states Of New York and
Pennsylvania sueh things are motor
ious. Does aryens believe for a
moment that had Dakota been d.
such lavish squandering Of
the peoples money would have oc-
in either half as has been
praotised by the last two legisla-
IuEes."

Or, THOMAS Dunn English, Of
Newark, n. j., who is best known
as the author Of ''Ben Bolt, has for
a year had a throat trouble similar
. that OF General Grant, which he
thinks was also caused by constant
smoking. The cancerous growth
became so troublesome as to threat
en- his life by spifocation. and by a
very painfgl operation il was remov-
ed last Tuesday. 1t is thought the
doctor will recover.

Storing Potatoes.

Potatoes are best stored in dry, cool,
cellar, where the temperature can be kept,
by ventilation, at about forty degrees.
The hoor should be of planks, raised three
inches from the ground, and laid with one
inch spaces bstween them for ventilation.
The bins should be about eight feet long,
four feet wide and deep, made of loose
barred partitions, wired together at the cor
ners. bin of this size will hold one hun
dred bushels, and with such one, it is
very easy to know precisely how much the
crop amounts to. A box to hold bushel
will be found great convenience in gath
ering and storing the potatoes. 1t is made
eighteen inches long, fifteen inches deep in
the clear at the sides, and ten inches wide,
all inside measurements; thus holding two
thousand and seven hundred cubic inches,
or thirteen cubic inches (about two good
sized potatoes) over heaped bushel, which
is two thousand and six hundred and eigh-
ty- seven inches. Three boxes can be set
one upon another, and then have space
left between the potatoes, and are thus
well adapted for use in storing part of
the crop, or small quantity for domestic
use. The barrel sides and bottom, secure
abundant ventilation. The bins in the
cellar shuld have space of four inches be
tween the end and the wall and between the
sides; this is easily made by placing short
rail between them.-Amcrican Agricu Hur

An Incident.

The Wing says that the rank and file Of
his command detested Fitz Hugh Lee.
We will relate little incident in this con-
nection which speaks for itself. On one of
the r1any battle-tields IN which Lee fought
he came upon one of his soldiers, a private,
badly wounded in the leg, the spot on which
he was lying was swept by the enemy, so
Gen. Fitz Lee placed the soldier on horse
and sent him 10 the rear. Twenty years af-
forwards this soldier, who from his wound
had lost leg, was working as watchman
in one of the railroad shops at Nashville,
Tenn, wheu he saw it advertised that Gen.
Lee would deliver lecture in that city.
So finding the hotel where the General was
stopping, the old soldier dressed in rough
overalls, went to the hotel clerk and asked
to see the General, and was Iold he could
not see him, as he was then receiving the
noted men of the city. He went to the
parlor door, and stood there, hat in hand,
watching his old commander as he was re-
ceiviag the mayor of the city. All at once
the General caught sight of the face of his
old soldier, and dropping the hand of the
mayor, and quitting the circle that sur
rounded him, he hassened to the door, put
Ole arm around the old mans shoulders
and grasping his hand said: why, jim,
am SO glad to see you % and the d man
replied, as the tears ran down his bronzed
cheeks, ssGod bless you, General, knew
you would speak to me P'-Abingdon Stand

The business of manufacturing sewing
machines is about to be revolutionized once
more. Riding the other day between Bos-
ton and New York, friend showed me the
latest invention in sewing machines, more
marvellous than anything that has preceded
it. An ingenious Boston man has devised
a hand sewing machine, which can be oper-
ated by the three lower fingers of the left
hand, almost as rapidly as the present ma
chimes that are operated by foot power. The
new device is so light that any woman can
easily hold it in her hand while using it, and
will probably be sold for $5. Although not
one of them has been put upon the market,
the inventor has already realized fortune
out of it, for every capitalist who has seen
it has recognized its great value. Arrange
ments are now making for placing them on
sale throughout the world, and millions of
them will doubtless be IN use before many
years. The new machine is not as big or as
heavy as a tailor's shears. think the stock
holders in this new enterprise are to be en-
vied.-Sub Rosa, in Washington Capital.

An Idea in Fruit Drying.

The use of oil stoves is becoming very
common. They may be made to do good
service in drying fruit, of which, in some
sections, there is large excess this year.
Whoever burns hard coal (anthracite), J,
knows what coal-sifter is. The simplest
form is square box of half-inch stuff with
a course wire-cloth bottom, and no top.
The wire-cloth should be of galvanized
iron, and has about four squares to the
inch. The sides of the box are about three
inches high, and it is about fourteen inches
square. These boxes are easily made, the
wire being attached by strips, nailed to the
edges of the frame. Fruit laid upon the
wire in the boxes, and several boxes piled
evenly one upon the other, may be quickly
dried, by placing the stack thus made upon
an oil-stone. The heat must be equalized
by au iron plate above the flame, which
must be kept low. The lowermost box
needs to be removed, and placed on top
every now and then, special care being ta-
ken not to cook the fruit. The drying will
thus go on entirely under control, and al
most as rapidly as in the patent dryers.
For large quantities a patent dryer may be
used.-M. c. Weld in american Agricul-
turist for October.

Help ME across, Papa"
By NJ. QUAD.

There was anguish in the faces of those
who bent over the little white bed, for they
knew that baby May was drifting away in
to the dark voyage, where 80 many have
been wrested from loving hands, AMI they
tried in vain to keep her, or even to smooth
with their kind solicltude her last brief sor-
rows, they, too, experiencing in the bitter
hour of parting, the pangs of death. They
only hoped that she did not suffer now
The rings of golden hair lay deep and un-
stirred on her white forehead; the roses
were turned to lines on her cheeks the
lovely violet eyes saw them not, but were
upturned and fixed, the breath which was
on the pale lips came and went, tuitered
aud seemed 10th to leave its sweet prison.
Oh the awful cruel strength OF death, and
the weakness, the hopelessness of love-
They who loved her better than life could
not lift hand to avert the destroyer; they
could only watch and wait until the end
should come. Her merry, ringing laugh
ter would never again gladden. their hearts /;
her little feet would make no more mu-
sic az they ran pattering to meet them. Ba-
by May was dying and all the house was
darkened and hushed,
Then it was as the shadows fell in denser
waves about us, that she stirred ever SO
family, and our hearts gave great bound
as we thought, "She is better, She will
live p Yes she knew us her eyes moved
from one to another, with dim uncertain
gaze. Oh !! how good God was to give her
back How we would praise Him and bless
Him all our lives | She lifted one dainty
hand-cold-almost puiseless, but better,
we would have it so-and laid it on the
rough, Drowned hand of the rugged man
who sat nearest her. His eyelids were red
with weeping, but now smile lighted his
bronzed face like rainbow as he felt the
gentle pressure of his little daughters
hand-the mute, imploring touch that
meant question.
"What is it, darling?" he asked in
broken tones of joy and thanksgiving.
She could not speak, and so we raised
her on the pretty lace pillow and her wee
white face shone in the twilight like fair
star, or sweet woodland flower. She
lifted her heavy eyes to his--eyes that even
had the glory and the promise of immor-
tality in them, and reaching out her little
wasted arms, said in her weary hutelike
voice.
"Help me accross, papa ~
Then she was gone We held to our
breaking hearts the frail, beautiful shell,
but she was far away, whittier he might
follow. She had crossed the dark river,
and not alone:
"Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another, the household pet.
She crossed on her bosom her dimpled hands,
And fearlessly entered the phantom bark:
We felt it glide from the silvery sands
And all our sunshine grew strangely dark
o infinite Father when we weary and
disappointed ones reach out pleading hands
to Thee, wilt Thou take us even as the
child, and help us across over the noun
tains of defeat and valleys of humiliation
into the eternal rest of Thy presence into
green pastures and beside the still waters
into the City of the New Jerusalem, whose
builder aud maker is God
