vEroEs THE BILL.

Gov. Lowry, Of Mississippi is re-
luotant TO relinquish his crown and
sceptcr. He has vetoed the bill
calling a constitutional convention,
which was passed a few days ago
by the practically unanimous vote
of a Democratic Legislature. The
reasons why a new constitution is
desired by the people Of Mississip-
pi were stated at length in the Az
alanche Of yesterday morning.
That constitution at present gives
the Governor more power than Is
10 keeping with our republican
form of government. Il brings
the executive and the judiciary too
close together, making the one de-
pendent upon the other. 1t has,
besides, a number Of Objectionable
features, born Of carpetbag rule, OF
which the people anxiously desire
to rid themselves. But there are
other things notwritten in the con-
stitution which the people are al
most equally anxious to be reliev-
ed. One of them is the Governor
himself.-Memphis Avalanche.

HOW DDHR FIND ITouT?

Over 2000 women, most of them
handsome and well dressed, oecu-
pied seats in Priest of Palas Hall
this morning when Sam Jones
mounted the platform. His ser
mon was especially intended for
wives, and those DESTROYS of secur-
ing good advice were present in
full force.
Among other things Jones said:
"How you twist and squeeze
your body to please society. l
never heard of a woman that did
not have corns. If there is one
here / would like to have her pic
ture."
Here a understanding young
woman on a front seat rose up, and
amid a storm of applause from her
sisters, stated that she did not have
corns.
For once the only Sam Jones
was outdohe. He eolored anC
looked as cheap as it is possibl,
for man to look. After rubbing
his face moment, he recovered
himself and said:
"Well, thank God, in forty year
of observation l have found on
woman who does not have corns
l will be much obliged if she vii
furnish me with her picture"
Then he looked as though h
was doubtful whether he had sal,
the right thing or not.-Kansa

Editor Messenger
We learn that some person or
persons here are trying TO buy
from the State, the lands belong
ing to the East Mississippi Insane
Asylum, and are trying to get
bill passed by the present Legisla-
ture to that effect. I heard one
man say he would give $4,000 for
80 acres oft. What class OF men
compose the State proper Is it
not the citizens, great and smalll
We think so, viewed from the
proper standpoint but viewed from
the point where some men would
desire 10 stand, the State would be
composed of land booming specu-
lators, Csyndicates) as they would
be styled. The Asylum is an in
stitution, not only for a life time,
but for all time to come, conse-
quently, let the land belonging to
the institution, still be a part and
parcel of it, as long az it is kept up
as an Asylum. We think it high
time that some cheek be made
against all lana monopolies and
government manipulators, State
and National. Let every foot Of
the public domain both State and
National, be reserved as homes for
the homeless, and for all public
benefits, such as the one above and
others of a public nature. We
hopO the matter will not be hastily
but properly considered, and the
interests Of the State guarded by
our faithful Representatives,
against the cunning schemes de-
yised by some greedy SPECTATOR,
or ring who would, Esaw like, sell
the birthright of the Moses OF the
people for a mess Of potage. The
40 acres of land belonging to the
Asylum is the most valuable part
of the section. for cultivation, for
a stock and fish pond, and might in
process Of time properly utilized,
almost make the institution self
sustaining. We have conversed
with a good many men about the
matter and find very few who wish
or advocate the sale. Their views
may be correct, but let the matter
be freely discussed. Selling 4C
acres of the Asylum land would be
discommoding the public generally
to accommodate, may be one man
or few, and would be class legis
lation and contrary to Democrat,
principles and usuages. Glass leg
islation has already ruined tb,
masses of the people of Mississippi
and ought, and we hope will b
stopped. In conclusion, we hope a
all events the matter will be dul,
and properly considered befor
any action is taken. Let the pee
pie be heard,
WALTER.
P. S.-If the State is involved i
debt and it becomes necessary t
sell some of the lands, better Sc

The Purpose Of Reading.

We hear it frequently said that reading should teach a man ts think :; it is too often rehed on to save him the trouble of thinking. Reading maketh full man" says Lord Bacon, but where there is no outflow fulness breeds stagnatlon. Many students are like a reservoir into which little stream of water runs no faster than It evaporates. They are forever pump ing in, but never drawing out sThe mind of a mature man should he a spring, not pond, It is true, as has been sad, that "too much reading leaves man no time for thought" The artist does not study celors and drawing all his life and never paint. He is taught how to start and learns to paint by painting. The artisan does not spend lifetime in training his eye and hand and accumulating muscle; he gets his tools and goes to work That part of the intellectual workman's education which comes from reading is to teach him how to use hls tools-that IS, his mental fac lalItties Reading wings his his iigaasllsgiina- tion; it james his fancy; it instraets his judgment; it arms his reasons it enrich9s his memory. And when his mind IS thus developed and equipped it is as ready for it's work as the black smiths arm is for its task when he gets strength and skill to wield the hammer. Too many students make of the world a gymnasium instead of a workshop; they are forever getting strength, but never using it to any purpose except to try and get more As a result the professions are full of crammed men, but scant of thinkers. The true method is to make of read ing a means, not an end.-New York World.

MaFicODa Minerals.

The proposition of collection oI specimens from the mines of Maricopa county for exhibition iii St. Louis
 which was urged by the Herald yes terday, has borne fruit in the offer oi Majer J. W. Ingalls,, of the Arizona Mining and Real Estate Exchange, tc take charge of such a collection and do his best to further its growth. Ma jor Ingalls, authorizes the Herald to state that he will receive all specimens that may be offered, and will receipt for them and place them Tn cabinets during their stay in Phoenix, keeping the more valuable ones under lock and key; that he will see tbat each one Is properly labeled, the label re- fering to a catalogue in which will be its description, assay value, and brief description of the mine from which it was taken, with the name of the own CT. This catalogue will hang beside the psifrUf5s When Ills plirr5di fIr Do sition at the St. Louis Exposition, and will be grand advertisement to mine owners, while the collection itself will be grand advertisement of the ad- ditionai resources of Maricopa county.
 That this plan if carried cut will be productive of happy results to the country can be readily understood, and all mine owners should, and no doubt will be anxious to aid the enterprise with specimens from their properties.
 Major Ingalls, is peculiarly fitted to the task for which he has offered his services, having been long conversant with the collecting of mineral speci- mems and their tasty arrangement in cabinets.-Phenix Herald, April 12.

Defects Of llc Jury system.

The jury system is receiving a se- were overhauling by jurists and oth- CTS. It is none too soon, nor toe severe. It IS question whether any system could be devised more liable to abuse or more fundamentally vicious. Philip Snyder says of it: "In inpor- ltant civil cases, where great interests are at stake, It IS to be regarded very much as failure; leading nearly as often to the miscarriage of justice as ot therwise. Why should twelve men, totally untrained Tn the examination of legal questions, be expected to agree, Tn the face of mass of contradictory tssA Aimony, and after listening for houA Is, er even days, or weeks, to the argu S4ents of counsel skilled in mak- i= rr1s tt worse appear the better reas soni4g g-and without a scrap of writ ten f printed testimony before them I've witnesses of the same transaction can rarely agree as to details; yet twelve men, some of them ignorant, are required to agree, or else the case must be tired before twelve other men equally unft-or be abandoned" It is fact that men who comprehend the Jury system place an important case on trial as they would submit to lot tery. They rely mainly OF their law yer's skill in influencing jury by his eloquence or shrewd appeals. Jury reform, by broadening the right to se- lect and leaving the result to a two thirds vote. is without possible objec- ton. It would lessen the relative importance of the testimony.

 Mir. Tilden formally accepted the | Democratic nomination for President on July 31, 1876. In his letter of &C., ceptance, among many other preespts 1 of wisdom and exalted patriotism, he had this to say about a second term of office:
 It might encourage delusiye aKpec- tations if 1 withheld here tbe expres- slon of my conviction that no reform of the civil service in this country will be complete and permanent until the Chef Magistrate is conStitutienally disqualified for reelection, experience having repeatedly exposed the futility of self-imposed restrictions by candi- dates or incumheatS. 'hrouehf this ,asnlamnlt lady can ba e4sets de livered ffem his greatest tesssiOn to misuse the power and patronage with which the Executive is neeessari- ly charged.
 This passage IS evidently the source of the similar recommendation con- tained in Ar Cleveland's letter of ac- ceptance, written eight years later, MT. Cleveland thus paraphrases Mr. Tilden:
 Of the means to this end, not one would, in my opinion, be more effec- tive than an amendment to the Con- stitutlon disqualifying the President from reelection. When we consider the patronage of this great office, the allurementS of power, the temptation to retain place once gained, and, more than all, the availability party finds in an incumbent whom a horde of off, fice-holders, with zeal born of bene- fits, and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize In the eligibility of the President for reelection a most se- rious danger to that calm, deliberate, and intelligent political action which must characterize government by the people.
 Having voluntarily propounded the single-term rule as general princi- pie of patriotism and duty, and hay ing asked and obtained an election upon that self-declared platform, and having held the office of President during the term for which he was elected, what would Mr. Tilden have done? Suppose his political friends, protesting to understand his secret desires, had proceeded to a second canvass upon the assumption that Mr Tilden was ready to fling prneIple and pledge to the winds. Suppose a horde of ef6ceea19iE. S- zeal born of benefits tand fostersd by the hope of favors yet to come, had joined in the injurious assumption that Mr. Tilden was weakly yielding to the al- lurements of power and to the tempta- ton to retain place once gained. How long would Mir. Tilden have suffered hls intentions to be misrepressnted and the purity of his motives to be traduced?

along the base of the Rocky Moun- tains is of double importance, because of its influence on the agriculture of the Lower Mississippi. To store up the water of the Missouri and its main afluents for the purpose of irrigation is to diminish the volume of that flood of the Lower Mississippi which is most destructive by reason of its occurring Tn the heart of the farming season. Moreover, the great difficulty of the eTbblem ofthe Lower Mississippi arises
 bun the fact that the river normally
 kes a deposit there, thus clogging
 course and giving to its channel an laSsiuble position. The principal source foi tie sediment is the Missouri River, sI.a | is4s felas eLe-1@A- ring flood. With abontion of great Missouri floods the sedimentary load of the LSwer Mississippi would be di- mlnlShed, and the securing power of the lsSs-loaded floods from the Ohio and the Upper Mississippi would es tablish for the Lower Mississippi a lower grade and deeper channel. For every acre reclaimed to agricul- ture in Montana another acre will be reclaimed in Louisiana; and, in gener- al, all lands redeemed by irrigation on the great plans will be equaled hy the lands redeemed from floods in the great valley of the Lower Missis- sippi.l
