positive expression to the expedent of a fed
crate organization to bind the states together in
MORE PERFECT UNION,
and when n convention of delegates from the
thirteen states was called in Philadelphia, in
1877, for the purpose of revising and correcting
the federal system, he was prevailed upon to
attend it, and when it met he was unanimously
called to the chair its president.
The convention. with Washington at it's head.
formed the Constitution of the United States
which, with its subsequent amendments, still
exists.
During this meeting Dr. Franklin. looking
toward the presidents chair. behind which a
sun was painted, observed to a friend standing
near:
Il have often and often, in the course OF
the session and the vicissitudes of my hopes
and fears as to its issue. looked at that sun be-
hind the presidents chair without being able
to tell whether it was rising or setting. Al
length have the happiness of knowing it is a
rising and not a setting sum-"
The business of the Philadelphia convention
was closed on the day of September II, 1881
after which. as Washington has written in his
diary: 1.-The members adjourned to the city
tavern. dined together and took cordial leave
OF each other"
THERE WAS A GOOD DEAL OF OPPOSITION
to the new Constitution in the several states,
and in some it not ratified save after a
severe struggle, but on the 18th of September,
1888, Congress, then sitting in New York, form
ally declared its adoption, as it had been rati-
fed by eleven states. The two which refused
to accept it were Rhode Island and North Caro-
lima. and for the time those two states were alb
solutely severed from the American Union, and
were also independent of each other
The Constitution provided for the people of
the United States to choose tine electors of a
President, and Congress decided that presi-
dental electors should be chosen on the first
Wednesday i'll January, 1888; that the electors
should choose President on the first Wednes-
day in February, and that the two Houses OF
Congress should assemble in New York on the
first Wednesday in March.

THE FIRST CONGRESS.

The old confederation was fired out Of exist
ence at sunset on the Sd of March. 1889. by
thirteen guns from the fort opposite Bowling
Green, in New York, and on March the new
era was ushered in by the firing of eleven guns
in honor of the eleven states that had adopted
the Constitution, the bells were rung and there
was general rejoicing. But Congress did not
assemble on that day and count the votes of
the electoral college, for there was not a
quorum present, only eight Senators and thir-
teen Representatives putting in an appearance
at IL o'clock, the hour of meeting. Travelling
was not easy in those days, the weather had
been very bad, and the other Senators and
Representatives could not make the journey.
Those from the south were impeded by ice in
the rivers, SO that boats could not cross, and
those from the New England states were
blockaded by snow-drifts, proving even at the
very outset that March was not the proper
month for an Inauguration display. The
Senate, on the 18th Of March, addressed a cir
cular letter to each of the absentees, but it
was not until April that twelfth Senator
arrived. sufficient to make q quorum. The
House of Representatives secured the presence
Of thirty members, which constituted a
quorum, on April l, but it was not until April
that the two houses met in joint session to
count the electoral votes.

 There are many men who would dc
 their whole duty in time of war oi great need, but when there is no such great occasion, neglect their plain simple duties to their God, their fam. flies and themselves. It is not for want of honor nor because they do not love their families, but from pure neglect; as an instance, statistics com piled by the national authorities show that more deaths result from bowel complaints than any other one cause, except consumption, yet not more than one family in six are provided with medicines that will relieve or cure the diseases. It is the duty of every man to protect their families, and they are certainly at least, guilty of criminal carelessness if they neglect to do so. The best remedy there is for the purpose only costs but 9 cents The article we refer to is Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy.

The Grand Caiion of the Colorado
 that is attracting so many visitors
 from Flagstaff and other places, not only in Arizona, but from different
 parts of the United States. is said to
 be 29S miles long, and the walls in
 places rise in stupendous grandeur, to a height of six thousand feet. It is wonderful to contemplate the myriads of years that have passed away while the mad roaring waters have GU. their way through the rock, thus forming the most gigantic chasm on earth. The mind of the visitor wanders into forgetfulness while the eye is carried to almost fathomless depths, in taking 8 view of Gods most wonderful piece of natures beauties. When the mag nitude, the grandeur and the loveli- ness of nature are all spread out in a panorama of beauty. where with one glance of the eye the observer can grasp such stupendous sights, should travel miles to behold the Grand Caiion.-Flagstaff Democrat.

In the kidneys. When inactive they speedily fall into despair. Those ob- stinate and fatal maladies, Bright's disease and diabetes, ensue with terri ble certainty upon the inaction of the organs affected. Catarrh of the blad- der, enuresis, gravel and strangury are also to be apprehended from partial paralysis of the bladder, of which weakness and sluggishness are the causes. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is fine tonic and promoter of activity for the renal organs, and one which can be relied upon to afford them the requisite stimulus without exciting them-an effect to be feared from the unmedicated alcoholic excitant of commerce. A further benefcent effect of the Bitters, by renewing activity of the kidneys, is to enable them to drain from the blood in its passage through them, impurities productive of rheum- atism and dropsy. Nervousness, fever and ague, constipation and dyspepsia are conquered by tbe Bitters.
