articles pertain to the men and institution.

is on Colby University, of which Prof.

sketch of Rev. Geo. C. Lorimer. Other

The American magazine for August is
certainly an attractive and readable number,
having articles covering fair variety of
topics, while some of its illustrations are so
good as to rank close to those in Scribner or
the Century. Noticeable for its good treat
ment of light and shade is the engraving of
a tree fern on page 1893 an interior on page
473, and the frontispiece. Some of the por
trait work, however, lacks expression. Miss

A young gentleman residing on Beech
arose in his sleep one night last week, and
getting out of the second-story window of his
chamber dropped to the ground, a distance
of some fifteen feet. Strange to say the
fall did not awaken him. The somnambu-
list then removed a screen from first-foor
window, raised the window and got into the
room, arousing its sleeping inmates, with
whom the sleep-waker carried on a CONVEX
sation for some minutes before he was
awakened, when he could remember nothing
of his nocturnal adventures. As a case of
somnambulism it is somewhat remarkable.

NATIONAL CONVENTION DELEGATES.

The Rule for Their Selection Not Thoroughly
Understood. and Important.
Washington Special.
Very great interest attaches just at this time
20 the subject of the election of delegates the
national convention at Chicago. The rule laid
down at the last convention, and which has
been adopted by the national committee in its
call, is receiving variety of construction, and
there is just a possibility that it may lead to
some difficulty. The rule is as follows: "And
each congressional district in the United States
shall elect its delegates to the national conven-
tion in the same way as the nomination of q
member of Congress is made in said district"
The national committee, at its recent session
in Washington, after great deal of discussion,
refused to put any construction upon this lam
guage, but it Is claimed on all hands that what
ever was done by the national committee. it was
the Intention of the convention at Chicago to re-
quire the election of delegates in the several
Congressional districts, but it is claimed mas
much as no time is fixed or place for the sever
al district conventions. that it would be COM
plete and literal compliance with the rule If the
state committees will call their conventions and
direct that delegates be elected in the several
counties, and the members authorized, and that
those delegates so elected shall assemble at the
capital of the State in State convention and then
and there nominate State delegation and four
delegates-a -at-large and four alternates to the
tional convention and that the same delegates
shall form themselves into district conventions
and elect two delegates to the national conven-
GlOn from eacu 01sCrlet.
1t is claimed that this would be literal COM
pliance with the law; that the rule does not un-
dertake to set but just one condition. and that
is that the delegate shall be elected in the same
way" The ''same way" referring simply to the
fact that they shall be elected by delegates
chosen by primary elections for that purpose.
In other words, that delegates elected to the
State convention, not elected with view to
their being used afterwards for the other pur-
pose, would not be lawful, but il the State COM
mittee makes the call. and the delegates
elected in the various counties to tho State con-
vention for the purpose of then and there elect
ing delegates to Chicago, that the law has been
completely complied with. Already this has
been done in the State of Louisiana.
