The temper of both houses Of the
Legislature has been pretty well lest
ed IN regard 10 the Sunday law, and
10 disposition las developed in favor
Of any change. Efforts have been
made to .ineFeasc the stringenev of
the measures by applying the prohi-
bItion 10 the sale Of Liquors 10 club
rooms, but without avail. The move
ment 10 except all incorporated towns
and Giles Of over 1000 inhabitants
from its operations has bot met with
much approval. In short every as
SAINT upon the statute has been re-
pulsed, and it 10 therefore likely 10
remain in force at least tRo years
longer If not permanently. The law
seems 10 have been generally obserY-
cd as 10 all lines Of business exeeDt
the retail liquor dealers, and is thor
ongbly supported by the country
members. Employees eTeryWheTe are
heartily IN favor Of the measure even
where At involves some loss of income.
10 fact the pablo sentiment of the
State, after tgO years lIial, is against
any modification Of the act and 10 "a

'FLUsH TINES" FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Fifty years ago Michigan experienced that
sort of prosperity which, being based upon
a rise in prices rather than upon an
increase of values, ended, as such prosper
ity always ends, in panic and disaster.
There was an extraordinary demand for
wild lands and for places with "Water priv
ileges," on which to build up large cities.
The government had opened three land
offices in different parts of the State.
These were besieged by crowds anxious to
center" land at 1875 an acre. Every pro-
prietor of a "city," which existed on a
beautifully engraved map, started a bank.
Money, in the form of bank notes, became
abundant, prices rose, speculation was
stimulated, and men, and even women,
caught the ~''fever" incident to flush times.
Then came the crash. Specie payments
were suspended, and money became
slight" Prices fell. The banks were
supposed to have in their vaults gold and
silver sufficient to meet 80 per cent. of their
circulation. The specie kegs were in some
cases found to have an upper layer of coin,
which concealed nothing more valuable
than nails and broken glass.
One of these banks was known as 1.-THE
Bank of Sandstone" being located in a
part of Michigan where quarries of fine
grit stone had been opened. Its promises
to pay were widely circulated. When the
panic came, a man who held many of the
banks circulating notes, made all haste to
reach Sandstone to get them cashed. The
bank had assets, out of which it paid the
bill holder-a milestone for every $40 note,
a grindstone for every s., and for every 81
bill a whetstone.-Youth's Companion.

OUR STATE CONSTITUTION.

There is really nc use saying anything
against holding a State Convention to re-
model the Constitution. This is a long
time in the future. 1t is not amiss to de-
fend the one we have from unjust criticisms
and complaints. A few words may con-
tent some with the ills they have, without
flying to others they know not of.
The present Constitution has sixteen
Articles, none of which any sensible man
could vote to strike out. 1t has about lO9
sections, and if three of these were strick-
en- out, all the props would be removed
from the arguments of those who are so
loud in their complaints against it. Ifthese
ought to be removed, it could be done by
allowing the people to vote on such an
amendment. If the General Assembly re-
fuses to submit the amendment to the peo-
pie, the legitimate and proper presump-
ton is, that the Convention would refuse
to change it.
There is absolutely no sound argument
in the fact that our constitution was made
by radicals and negroes. Wicked men
can copy just as good things from a good
book, as good people can. South Carolina
is not the first State that tried this consti-
tuition. If its cumbersome and unnecessa-
ry branches cannot be Topped off by the
people through the legislature, they should
not be trimmed by the uncertain, unsteady
ticks of a convention.
Another consideration. With all the
risk of being no better than the old, the
new Constitution might wipe out volumes
of our present State reports. If it stands
as it is, with an occasional amendment,
in ten years all our laws will be emptied
into the present series of reports. The law
is settled. A new Constitution would un-
settle it.
Any careful student of our organic law
can find more to preserve and commend,
than he can find to destroy and condemn.
AS long as this is the case, its defects
should be remedied by amendment.
What artist would wipe out a beautiful
and symmetrical painting, merely to get
rid of speck ?+Picken Sentinel.

nouncement appeared underneath that
.sthe world famous equestrian, John Rob-
inson, Jr., would actually ride three times
around the ring while standing on n
foot, and he would frequently add, II kept
a pretty tight grip on the foot while I was
doing it." This, as he frequently declar-
ed, and his statement is borne out by the
testimony of others, was the first piece of
pictorial show printing ever gotten out in
America, and some thirty years afterward,
as manager of his own show, he used to
carry a bundle or two of almost the same
paper in a pair of saddlebags going ahead
to bill the coming of the circus. Uncle
