LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

Last week Wednesday the proposed amendment to the State constitution providing for pleurality elections was defeated in the House by a vote of III to 104. A two-thirds vote was necessary. On Thursday last the House adopted the amendment to the State constitu- tion. which provides for increasing the number of senatorial districts to not less than 37 nor more than 45. The new apportionment is to be made by the General Assembly of 1897. The vote on this amendment stood 138 to 51. The amendment will be passed on by the electors at the polls next October and will no doubt be approved.
 The Daughters of the Revolution of Groton and Stonniugton have sent me- morisl to the Legislature asking for the adoption of State flag. The memorial says that none has ever been adopted by the Legislature. They suggest two designs; one being the three grape-vines now in use and the other heraldic  coat-of- arms. with the seal of General Washington in one quartering, the pres ent State seal in two and the United States seal of the old Confederation in the fourth. The matter was referred to the committee on military affairs. It is not likely that the me-honored flag with the three grape-vines will be discarded. A bill for the better protection of cat tie and sheep from vicious dogs was passed in the Senate.
 Action on the bill exempting small boilers used for agricultural purposes from inspection, was indefinitely post poned.
 Senators Warner, Lounsbury and Palmer were appointed committee to investigate the charges of Senatorial bribery, made by Rev MT Mason, of New Haven.

THE WOUNDED ANTELOPE.

1t Finda No Shelter Among the Fleeing
Herd.
"The stricken deer fees from the
herd"
The term is supposed to be poetical,
n may be so; but does anyone know
why the deer runs away?
a good many years ago, when Denver
was u huddle of shanties and the over
land stage was in its glory, the writer
OF these lines was crossing what was
then represented on the school maps rs
the Great American Desert" It was
very early in the morning and light,
though the sun had not yet risen, when
the wagons started. Soon the leader
stopped in silence, and everyone saw
on an eminence or roll" q splendid an
telope standing and looking at the
wagons as though surprised. Not a
sound was made on either side until the
silence wa broker by the sharp crack OF
n rifle. The antelope fell, but only for
an instant, and then bounded away.
Arriving at the place where he fell n
little blood was noticed, and, rising the
roll" the stricken deer" was seen
making his way not from but to the
herd, ONO four hundred In number.
Thcn was seen a rather curious sight
in the early light. Catching sight of
the wagon, the whole herd moved away
at a smart pace, but not at o panic gait.
Tho woupded animal had reached the
herd, but was not wanted; for two or
three bucks mado for him, and as long
es we watched them they chased and
horned the poor animal until, prosuma-
bly,, he fell dead, a feastf for tho coyotes.
For some reason peculiar to antelopes,
they want no ''strickon deer" about
and wouldn't have one.-Homeopathic
Envoy ~.
