THE TRILoBITE .

Upon the thin layers Of slate or shale
at the Chisholm Mine, near Phoebe, are
impressions of small animals that lived
a long time ago. They are called triio'
bites. They seem to have been buried
in the clay deposits at the bottom Of the
sea. As the ages passed, and the clay
hardened into slate, the bodies of these
little fellows dissolved and disappeared
into other forms of matter. Yet each
left, in his..tomb, bas.relief figure Of
his outward self perfect in every detail,
to tell the man of to-day that life and
death were there long ago, and to be
word in tie true biologists book, whose
pages were written by no human hand.
He probably also served somelhigher pur'
rose, unless humanity is to be much
more worthy of creation than appears on
the surface. At any rate he left behind
him something more than
Footprints on the sands of zine.
So much cannot be said of Caesar who,
though he died two thousand years ago,
is hardly cold, as compared with the trilo
bite. Adam and Eve walked the earth
only this morning; and the men, and
beasts, and birds who, millions of years
ago, made the foot. prints at the Carson
Quarry, are mere moderns, at whose
pretensions to antiquity the trilobite
could, If indeed one Of his ancient fam.
lily could be so impolite, : turn up hia
nose in derision.
Doubtless the metals in the mine,
could they speak, would Interchange
gossip, and possibly in the intervals Of
bewailingltheir long imprisonment, might
refer in disparaging terms to their neigh
bors. If so, onelmight imagine colloquy
something like this:
GOLD. -"Well to save me l can't set
any sense in the airs the trilobites givt
themselves. You and / remember wei

society"

Here we leave the discussion with

PATERSON, Sept. II, 1s90.-The Repub-
llcan Congressional Convention of the

delegates for nomination, that of Charles
D. Beckwith Colonel Congdon, Of
Passaic county made the motion to nom
mate Mr. Beckwith Il was seconded by
C. l. Blauvelt of Bergen and carried
unanimously amid hearty cheering.
Many of the delegates made speeches
in praise of Mr.. Beckwith' Is course as a
congressman. Colonel Congdon reviewed
the nominees action on all questions of
Importance that had claimed the attention
of congress during his term and spoke of
it in terms of unstinted praise. He
showed how Mr. Beckwith had supported
Reed for the speakership. and by SO doing
helped to defeat the hopes of the obstruc-
tionists. His action on the tariff bill and
on the silver bill was also alluded TO and
favorably commented on.
In connection with these matters the
speaker mentioned James G. Blaine and
Major Mckinley, and the allusion caused
loud and protracted cheering. Colonel
Congdon ended his speech with a spread
