RINGS AND PINS.

The love of personal property is in
stinctive, woman gets to feeling for
her rings and pins sort of affection,
which is made up of whole sheaf of
mingled associations. The engage
ment and the wedding rings are of
course sacred, but while they cluster
around themselves the sweet memories
of the happiest period of a girls life,
other rings are almost equally priced.
This one was bought one summer in
Venice or Geneva; it is souvenir
of a charming trip. The other has
been lost and found half-dozen times,
and seems to have a mysterious fac
ulty of returning to its owner, how
ever careless or unfortunate she may
be. About the opal ring a host of leg
endary superstitions weave their
shadowy halo, and there are people
who can not be induced to wear the
beautiful gem, SO timid are they in
reference to it's bringing i'll luck in its
wake.
Jewels possess the subtle beauty of
flowers in less ephemeral shape and
texture. Handed down from genera
ton to generation, they survive all
dynasties and crashes of change and
time. One may hold in her hand a
ring or a pin which was worn by
relgning belle in the dim antiquity of
the ages when Babylonia and Assyria
were in their prime. Men come and
go, but gems, like the earth, abide
forever.
A celebrated divine used to carry
about in his pocket a few beautiful
uncut gems, loving to h .ndle and to
look at the smouldering fire of the
ruby, the deep cool green of the en-
erald, and the golden heart of the to-
paz. Surely beautiful and delicate
fancy to crafty.

ExPresident Harrison, in writing
of ssThe Presidential Office" in Feb.
Ladies' Home Journal, presents an in
teresting bit of information regarding
our method of choosing a chief mag
istrate. 1.-THE origin of the electoral
college," he says, "has been the sub
ject of much speculation. The only
American precedent is found in the
first constitution of Maryland, where
provision was made for the choice of
state senators by electors chosen by
popular vote in specified districts. In
the Massachusetts, convention Mr..
Bowdoin said: "This method of choos-
ing senators was probably taken from
the manner of choosing senators I'M
der the constitution of Maryland" An
attempt has been made to find the
suggestion of the electoral college, as
we have come to call it, by some in
the method then in use of choosing
the German Emperor, and by others
in the method of choosing Pope, by
the college of cardinals. Sir Henry
Maine thinks that the members of the
convention were to considerable ex-
tent guided by the example of the
Holy Roman Empire. And as Mary
land, where the electoral college was
first used, was a Catholic colony, the
suggestion seems plausible. But there
was this difference; our electors are
not permanent body, but fresh men
chosen every four years."

A naturalist, who is an ardent stu
dent and absent minded, recently
celebrated his silver wedding. Many
guests were invited for the occasion.
AS the first guest arrived, one of the
daughters was sent to summon the
father from his study. When they
reached the room, the daughter no
ticed that her father carried in his
hand small wooden box; and, as he
shook hands with the nearest guest,
she saw him drop it. The cover roll
ed off; but she gave a sigh of relief
when she saw that the box was APP
parently empty. The naturalist, how
ever, uttered cry of dismay, and in
stantly went down on his hands and
knees in an attempt to gather up
something. "Have you spilled any
thing, father?'' she asked. "Spilled
anything!" he echoed, in evident in
dignation at her calm tone: 81 have
lost fifty feas that 1 have just receiv
ed from Egypt" The effect of this
intelligence on the family was moth
ing in comparison to the effect the
catastrophe had upon the company
before the evening was over; and the
only thing the naturalist said to his
friends, in answer to their congratu-
lations upon his happy married life,
was to ask that, if they carried away
any Of his Egyptian feas, they would
return the insects to him.-Argondut.

DIR. Richard Busby, the second CEN
tenary of whose death was celebrated
recently at Westminster School,
where he was head master for fifty
seven years was disciplinarian of
the old school. When Charles II. Wis
tied the school, DR.. Busby asked the
king to take off his hat, while he kept
on his own, on the ground that disci-
pline could not be maintained if the
boys should believe that there was a
greater man in England than their
head master. A Frenchman once
wandered into the school playground,
and was set upon by the boys. DIR.
Busby saw the row, land ordered those
engaged to be logged. The French
man was taken with the boys, and
logged, too. He then went in his
wrath to the doctor to demand an
explanation; but, as he could not
speak English well, after few words
the doctor got angry, and ordered
him to be horsed, which was done.
The Frenchman, mad with rage, went
to his inn, wrote a challenge and sent
it to Busby by the porter. The doctor
read the challenge, and at once had
the porter horsed. That was too much
for the Frenchman. He packed his
valise and fed to France.-Setected

TEXAS POPULISTS.

Platform Amended Until 1t Resem-
bIed a Crazy Guilt.
GALVESTON. Texas, Aug. 6-In the
Populist state convention today a tele-
gram was read from the PopuIists of
Nebraska stating that Nebraska has
Endorsed the action of the ST. Louis
convention.
A resolution was adopted providing
that noGes and securities not rendered
for taxation should be void The prime
object is TO shift the burden of taxation
on holders or vendors of lien notes
and relieve the land owners to the ex-
tent of their Indebtedness on the same.
The amendment TO the platform de-
manding an appropriation for improve
meTt of Texas harbors and waterways
was adopted An nGmenc limit
ing the salaries of county officers to
$1,000 was adopted by a. large major
ity.
An amendment providing that con-
tractors snail work the men bue eight
hours q. day carried after much de-
BATE.
MI. Thomas, negro delegate from Ma
vaECita, SEM an amendment to the
platform demanding recognition of his
race and that they have place in law
making and law-eXecuting. 1t was re-
ferred 60 the committee on resolutions
without being read.
A nlDtion to cut off further amend
nleGDts and debate created the greatest
confusion. The roll call was demand
ed, but before it was half through the
motion was showed under and the con-
Vtfi-4on adjourned Until z p. m.
At Che afternoon session Jerome
kearby of Dallas was nominated for
governor and H. S. P. Ashy Of Smith
Vile, Tarrant county, for henLenant-
governor. W. NJ. Walton of Travis
county was nominated for attorney
general at the night session OF tine CON
venzion. Several attempts were made
today TO get a resolution in the plat
form endorsing the action of the Texas
delegation alt st. Louis, but it is con-
trary to the policy OF the leaders uII-il
tine platform has been adopted, and
they succeeded in waTding it off. The
platform was sent back TO the platform
COMM ttee, after it was amended until
it looked like a crazy quilt. Final &C
ton on the platform is expected toInor-
row.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Tomorrow
morning the World will say:
Senator David B. Hill will support
the nominees of the Chicago conven-
ton. A formal announcement of his
position, it is said will be made pub
lie within a very few days.
The facts, the World will say, were
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, on visit to Senator Hill
at Normandie-by-the-Se Wednesday
night. Senator Jones returned to the
city this morning accompanied by
Lawrence Gardiner, secretary of the
Democratic congressional campaign
committee, who went down to Nor
mandie Wednesday night.
To a personal friend, the World will
say, Senator Jones remarked signifi-
cantly:
Hill is all right
The chairman, according to the
World, had become somewhat anxious
over the continued silence of the SEN
ator from New York upon the polit-
zeal question. He desired to find out
exactly where the senator stood, and
how long he was going to stand there.
Mr.. Gardiner, it is said, made the ar
engagements for Wednesday nights
visit at the instance of Senator Cor
man.
Mr. Jones dined with Mr. Hill at
Normandie and met State Chairman
Hinkley and John B. Stanchfield. From
mutual friends, the World will say, it
was learned that their talk was ex-
tremely frank. Before they were
through, it is said, Mr.. Hill told Sen
ator Jones the New York state con-
vention would in all probability en-
dorse the ticket named at Chicago, and
reaffirm it's own platform adopted at
the last state convention. Mr.. Hill, it
is said, told Senator Jones that he
would stand by the action of his own
state convention, and work loyalty for
it's nominees. That, he thought, is all
that could be asked of him.
The Worlds article continues to say
that Senator Jones received the infor-
nation that Senator Murphy was thor
oughly in favor of endorsing the whole
ticket

pudiahed the error of the Chicago con-
ven,tion. We have said: Let lit be a
young leatleG' from the west and a
young leader from the south Has not
the south been in political bondage
long enough? Has 1T not played second
fiddle long enough?
1T was dream of mine to do what
I could to reinsaa,te the south to her
place in the royal sisterhood of states.
1 ass,eal to you as Georgian, as q
southern man, to seize this opportun-
west, to throw off the domination of
the north and east, which has proved
ruinous to the farmer, the laborer,
merchants and the entire people"
In conclusion Mr.. Watson made this
Significant statement: We are not
going to put up any candidate against
Bryan; we are going to vote for Bryan
whether Sewall is withdrawn or NOT.
l am going to manage this campaign
so that w. j. Bryan gets every vote
we have got. l see the dread evils
Of McKinleyism threatening US, and
1 fear that if we are defeated in this
fight McKinleyism
WILL BE ENTHRONED FOREVER
and the battle for freedom had just
as well be given UP. l shall tell my
people to stand by the contract at ST.
Louis. Let Bryan have every vote
you can muster. Let Jones say what
he likes. Let him insult you if he
viii. Make no answer. Pray for your
country. Work for her interests. Do
your duty. Here's what we are going
to do in our state conyenEion-we are
going to put a full electoral ticket for
Bryan and Watson. We can't vote
for Sewall. Then we will empower
our committee to take off a part of our
electors and put on q part of yours,
whenever the Democratic committee
reFtires Mr.. Sewell. The Democratic
managers may have made up their
mtn<ls to put Tom Watson down and
keep him down, but I thank God the
people of the south have entered into
no such contract. Let it be known
hencefoqtf that the south and west
Will never again set at the foote'-col
of the north. -
Mr.. Watson was cheered at frequent
intervals and his peroration was fol-
lowed by a long continued storm of
applause and a surgfngT Of his adj
mirers toward the stand to shake his
hand.
