Ths Engineers Mascot.

An engineer on the Danville rail-
road, between Danyille and Spring
field, Ills, has cat that loves rail-
reading. For several years the cat
has lourneyed with the engineer on his
regular runs, usually sitting in the cab
window before its master, Sometimes
in fine weather it strolls out on the
pilot and lies there for hours Eat a
stretch, blinking at the dogs that bark
as the train thunders by. Sometimes
it climbs to the top of the sand box,
and sits there undisturbed by the
shrek of the whistle or the elang Of
the bell. The cat used to belong to
the engineers wife, who is dead, and
he wouldn't part with it for love or
money. The engineer has had good
luck ever since the cat attached itself
TO it, and the train hands think that
it is inascot.-Boston budget.

There Is not one discordant note in

We are more than charmed with its
sweetness and purity of tone and its
great power as leading instrument
for congregational singing has been

THE CAPITAL.

I:viH ha most uaw.-e and uufor-
...... % bring into r.. deIsbera-
uUu-n the constitutional. convention,
the question Of the location Of the
capital All such extraueous mat
ter5 should not receive, even for a
moment, the consideration Of the
convention. The delegates are not
elected for the purpose Of determin-
ing the location Of the capital; they
Will have enough to do without dab
bling with such matters.
We trust that there viii not be a
delegate III the convention who Is so
unmIndful to the interests OF the
general good, as to attempt TO intiu-
ence the delegates upon the capital
question. No man, possessing the
welfare of the future state of Wash
ington in his heart. viii permit the
question of the location of the CAPT
tai, to interfere with the performance
of his duties.
No locality should elect delegates
for the sole pupose Of endeavorlng
to influence the convention in their
behalf. The delegates elected should
be to make laws for the benefit OF
the entire state. The constitutional
convention is not for the purpose OF
advancing the political ends of any
| clique, faction, or man, nor to solely
legislate for the veal of any partieu
lar locality.
In conclusion, we hope that the
delegates will appreciate the import
ance of the trust, and give Us con
stitution that our prosterity will bt
| proud of.
