when the ballots were counted they
were turned out on the table with
other ballots and papers, and all were
counted.
The credentials committee held an
adjourned meeting at 1:30 o'clock to
further consider the contest, and Mr..
Fairbanks, for the first delegation,

sworn as witnesses. The former de-
MED many of the facts alleged in the
affidayit, and Mr.. Johnson sustained
his side. The second caucus was held
Immediately after the first, and before
6 o'clock, at the same place, and was
participated in by those who were
dissatisfied with the conduct of the

CATION be given seats in the conven-
tion.

delegations be admitted, each dele
gate to have half a vote. This was
carried.

THE OLD LIBERTY BELL.

From tn" Boston Transcript.
The old liberty bell now rests in a
handsome new case in the east room
of independence Hall, Philadelphia.
The case is made of selected white
oak, is five feet ten inches square
and ten feet high. On each of the
four sides is a large plate glass over
four feet wide and seven feet high in
the center. At each corner is a
bronzed piller surmounted by neat
carved work, while over each of the
glass sides Is an arch with the names
of the thirteen original states carved,
that of Pennsylvania being on the
keystone. Facing the doorway,
leading down from the top, is a
carved model of sold Abe" the
famous war eagle, the wings meas
uring "a inches from tip to tip.
Beneath, on the part of the case, is
the inscription copied from the bell,
''Proclaim liberty throughout all the
world to all the inhabitants thereof"
On each corner of the top is a
polished bronze torch. The bell is
suspended within the case from the
marred old yoke on which it hung
when it made its historic peal. The
yoke itself was made from a tree just
back of the hall. This is supported
by columns of bronze and it's columns
rest on a truck, which fits snugly
inside the case, and appears to be
simply a floor. Beneath are foul
rubber-tired wheels, which will
permit a quick removal in case O
fire. The new case, complete, cos

ATTRACTIVE LITTLE MEAT PIES.

From the New York Evening Post.
Anew and tempting way of serving
leftover beef and mutton has been
found. Chop the meat as for hash,
and to every half-pint add a half
teaspoonful of onion juice, a table,
spoon of butter, a half teaspoon of
salt and a dash of red pepper, four
tablespoonful of milk and two
beaten eggs. Heat this mixture over
the fire, but do not cook it, and have
ready about a pint of boiled rice Zone
cupful before cooking.) Butter in
dividual moulds and line them with
the rice, fill in with the meat mixture,
and cover the tops with rice. Stand
in a pan of boiling water ane bake a
quarter of al hour. Serve in the
moulds, placed on plates with a sprig
OF parsley on each, Or turn on plates
and serve with a brown sauce. Miss
Beecher, a graduate of the Phila-
delphia cooking school, invented
these little meat pies, which make a
nice dinner or luncheon dish.

GOOD NIGHT, GOD BLESS YOU.


by JOHN J. FLYNN.
Thrice happy man-thrice b~lest-is he
who through the mist OF years discerns
A mothers face and to her knee
From later joys in fancy turns
who feels her stroke upon his hair,
Her lips upon his forehead; yes,
And hears again the simple prayer
She utteredfwlth her last caress-
GOOD night, my child
God bless youi''
who backward over weary years
Can turn in fancy to one night
One night Of bitter words and tears,
when his first dream of love took flight
And though II came with blank despair
And tore two lives and souls apart,
Can hear again that soft, sweet prayer,
That sprang from out an anguished heart
"dood night, my love-
God bless your
who later still, when calmer days
Had come with calmer views OF life
when higher thoughts and better ways
Supplantcd vain aud vulgar strife
n face to mem'ry fair,
A love all bopcless-yet sublime,
N hears again the gentle prayer.
And feels once more the thrill divine
Good night, lear friend
God bless youi"
Thrice blest Ia he-for manhood's crown
Is not from fame or fortune wrought,
one pure thought of love will drown
A thousand dreams Of battles fought.
'Tis not the laurel wreathes men wear
That heaven accepts, when all Ia past.
A xr,p,ansg ttra nnunlnul ra.n
Through all eternity shall last
GOOD night, dear one
God bless your

GENIUSES.

Ruskin began to write "books' at
@ years of age. His first dated poem
was written a month before he
reached the age of 7. His first ap-
pearance in print was in the Maya
zine Of Architecture in 1884, when he

pendulum of "Universal History" and
three cantos of a poem in imitation
of Scott when he was only Z years
old. Mrs. Browning read Homer,

of the world, treated by specialists
in a simple, concise style, which
makes mastery of the facts a delight
to the studious mind.
Please observe, that the tendency
of the book publishers is toward these
explicit though brief series upon all
subjects. We have them not only
upon authors and statesmen, but
also upon orators, logicians, philoso-
pliers, and t~heologians. The times
are busy and we cannot wade
through tones of matter. How gra-
cious the deed, then, to give to the
weary workers the nubs of thingsl
No hours are spent with more
pleasure and profit by an ardent
reader then those devoted to light
sketchy chapters upon science. Our
authors are striving more and more
to make themselves presentable.
Both Tyudall and Huxley have set
good examples to their fellows.
Even Herbert Spencer has felt their
influence, rolling over from SHE to
side, in elephantine agony, struggling
for simplicity. | regret a want of
time to pass in review the many
excellent handbooks of this charac-
ter. Mention must be made of
Keary's "Dawn of History" Geikie's
theological Sketches,'' Winchelrs
Excursions of n Geologist," Grant
Aliens "Vignettes of Nature" These
explorers in natures realms, like
their immortal predecessor, Hugh
Miller, can handle a pen as skillfully
as a tone ham mer, and they portray
for us pictures describing-The Old
Man of Hoy-The Geysers of the
Eellowstone-The Heron's Haunt
The Golfers of Carrick-The Old
Glaciers of Norway, etc, ETC., as
Longfellow would an Arcadian or
Tennyson one of England's girlish
beauties. How delightful it is to
know too, that they are taking rank
at the head of our universities as
molders of youthful minds. In the
west we instance-chancellors David
Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford, and
Snow of Kansas State University
both men of calibre-at home, both
in the scientific field and in the class
room.
These men, together with thous-
ands of others, are students of
things and books and men. They
are after neutrality-suspicious. they
get it at first or second hand. They
have entered into the fraternity of
mankind by the only method known
making the acquaintance of the
past and the present. Is it the
hobby of this librarian-or is it the
fact--they know and love books?
They believe in books. Like Charles
Lamb, 'they love to lose themselves
in other mems minds" Books think
for them-set them all astir-and
then they think-think larger, richer
thoughts-thoughts fortified by
contact with observation-disclosures
then they set these thoughts down in
new books, and SO books multiply
and grow strong.
Such men are b~enefactors to theil
race. They live for a holy purpose
/ They are at war with the grear
enemy-ignorance. There is no dis
+ charge for them. They have en-.
f listed for life, and their reward vii
be this-that they have helped us
all to "Mount up the heights Of
Wisdom" j. w. MoNsER.
