tiOns who were known to be Harris
men the objection is to the action of
the Convention In the preliminary
steps Of its organization to adopt a
resolution pledging its nominees to
the support Of Mr.. Harris, thus shut
ting off candidates who were not
willing to receive instructions at the
hands of this Convention. And this
resolution becomes, so to speak, an
additional plank in the Democratic
platform, pledging every Democrat
in the district to the support of Mr..
Harris for the Senatorship; such an
abuse, or rather such a departure
from its powers, ought not to be toll
Grated. There are many Democrats
who, whilst they might cheerfully
support men who are known to be
Harris men, yet would resent the
idea of being pledged by a party
declaration to that support them
selves.
But there is still a much better rea-
son than all this why a candidate
should not have instruction laid upon
him which might embarrass him in
the faithful discharge of his sworn
duties. The policy of instructing
Legislators how they should vote in
the selection of a United States Sen
ator can not for a moment commend
itself to our impartial judgment. The
Legislator, when elected, becomes
the Representative of the whole peo-
pie of his district, and not for the
bare majority of his own party. Sun
pose that the minority of the party
when added to the bulk of the other
voters, made a large majority of the
whole people who oppose such a
choice, what then would be the duty
of the Representative? Heretofore
it has been the custom of Democrats
to select good and true men as their
candidates and leave to the exercise
of their soud discretion the discharge
Of their duties. This course has been
found sufficient in the past, and we
see no reason for making'a change.

THE melon-colic days have gone,
and the melancholy days have come.
The summer is over, and with the
fall of the leaf society finds a mo-
ment's breathing place in which to
run over its accounts and attempt to
strike a balance. Managing mammas
with pretty, manageable daughters
find on the debit side of the ledger
heavy milliner and dressmakers' bills
from which they turn with sigh to
the credit side and huriedly glance
down the pages. What do they find?
Nothing, almost absolutely moth
ing! The bedraggled, betorn
and limp finery of a summers
gaiety; the remembrance, oftentimes
only too bitter, of a "harmless fiirta-
tion," the recollection of moonlight
strolls, of few palpitating waltzes,
Of delicious half hours on the rocks or
in the woods, and that is all. A few
faded rose leaves alone remain, the
sweet romance of the summer is as
dead, the faint breath of a once ex-
quisite perfume still fingers about
the lovers, but faint as it is, it is
stronger than any impression the
love passages of the summer have
left upon the hearts of the worldly
W Use maidens of to day.

Origin of the Name Of America.

Only a few years ago a vigorous eff
fort was made TO pull Columbus from
his pedestal as the discoverer of Amer
lea, which by many was considered rank
injustice, as Amerigo Vespucci had al
ready robbed him of the honor of nam
ing the continent.
According to what we have been
taught, Amerigo heard of the discover
les of Columbus and determined TO Sc
cure to himself some Of the glory. He
made four journeys to the new world,
and left behind him many maps and
charts. On these he distinguished the
new world as America, or AMERICAS
Land.
What schoolboy has not felt indig-
nant when he first heard of this injus-
tice TO Columbus? But now it appears,
from a recent book by q great scholar,
that Amerigo was not trying to take
undue credit. The country of Vene-
zuela, in which was the first settlement
of the Spaniards. was called by the ma
tives AmdrdcdpGnd-p meaning

Four centuries ago nearly everybody

Allies in very funny way on such
retrospect:
Hall century-ahew We'd have
waited and been born somewhere along
about 1860 if given our choice. Yes,
lots and lots of things have happened
in the last fifty years. The old wooden
cradle in which we were rocked is no
more to be seen. Don't you remember
how high its sides were, and what a
sense of solid security we babies had
when deposited therein? The rockers
were long and heavy, the floor bare of
carpet. and many time the clickety-
te-click lulled us to sleep. Pride first
banished the old wooden cradle to the
garnet, and filled it with seed-corn or
hickory-nuts. This wasn't enough The
old relic was tumbled out of the win
dow to become kindling, and the new
baby was rocked in fiim-fam gimcrack
made of willow or walnut.
Remember how they used us as
babies and yearlings and two-year -olds !?
No soothing-syrups in those days, my
boy! If catnip tea vast good for what
allied us they put on the spanker to
effect cure. We weren't hidden away
from measles and chicken-pox and
mumps and whooping cough, to affect
us ten times as bad in later years, but
the door was flung open and those all
ments invited to walk into us and get
licked at once and for ever. They didn't
sweat and smother us for fear of drafts
and they didn't rush for a doctor if our
sneeZing machine set itself TO going.
We crept on bare floors; We ate
johnny and milk; we swallowed
thimbles and peach stones and picked
up live Goals off the hearth. At later
day we stuck slivers in our feet, thistles
in our hands and tore our wooden
dresses in falling off the rail fences.
And that first week in school! We
knew A B ID and + before we started,
and we couldn't imagine why any one
should want to know more. Those big
Brown boys called us 'tow-head, and
that Sarah Ann Williams ran over us in
the entry, aud the Smith boys threat
ened to lick us on the way home. AS if
all this wasn't enough to swell our
hearts and make us wish that we were
dead, the schoolma'am pinched our ear,
raped our knuckles and called out in
voice full of broken glass: 'Didn'
